Kill Me More Times, I'll Become Invincible-Chapter 424:

Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW

Amidst swirling clouds and mist, a fairy mountain appears and disappears.

On the mountaintop, a clear stream cascades down from the peak, forming a waterfall like a jade ribbon hanging in the air, resembling a galaxy in reverse.

Below the waterfall on the mountaintop, there is a flat giant rock. On the rock sits a young man in a blue Daoist robe, closing his eyes and practicing boxing.

His flawless execution of this boxing technique has become as natural as breathing, reaching a state of perfection.

When he punches, even though there is no visible internal force, it flows smoothly like water, at times resembling a dragon frolicking in the clouds and other times like a tiger emerging from a mountain forest, captivating to watch.

Suddenly.

A rainbow light flies from the sky, piercing through the faint mist surrounding the fairy mountain.

In the rainbow light, an old Daoist with white eyebrows emerged. Despite his old age and white hair, his skin was rosy and flawless, showing no signs of aging.

There was an indescribable air of power between his eyebrows, clearly indicating that he held a high position of authority for many years.

He was the leader of the Long Life Gatesect in Dong Province for this generation, also known as the Changsheng Taoist Lord.

The leader of the Long Life Gatesect turned into a rainbow and saw the young man practicing martial arts under the waterfall, visibly taken aback.

As he landed from his transformation, he lowered his head slightly, and the overwhelming aura between his eyebrows dissipated almost entirely.

"The ancient ancestor’s Long Life Fist has truly reached perfection, blending strength and gentleness, emptiness and reality…"

The young Daoist stopped his fist and stood up, glancing at the Long Life Gatesect leader standing by the giant rock.

"You arrived rather quickly."

"Good, I will inform you about the Qiao family member."

"Even though I have been living inside the Cave Heaven Small World for a long time, I must know about the matters happening in the outside world of Jiu Province."

"I’m glad I asked you, or else I might have missed out on what was happening with the Qiao family member."

The leader of Long Life Gatesect was surprised and somewhat unexpected.

"The ancestor is actually interested in the Qiao family member from the outside?"

Out of the Qiao family members, there emerged an Qiao Qijin who could kill the Soul Changing Taoist Lord.

Such a character could make the Soul Changing Stagesect leader of the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates feel uneasy, which makes sense.

But the ancestor inside the Cave Heaven Small World is different.

This ancestor is a figure who has lived from the time before the great changes in the world, even enduring the chaos of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with a naturally broad perspective.

His presence is the deepest foundation of the entire Long Life Gate.

With his broad perspective, the leader of the Long Life Gatesect was surprised that he was interested in a Qiao family member.

"Of course I’m interested," the young patriarch said with a slight smile.

"Shouldn’t we thank the Qiao family member in person for mastering the Long Life Fist to this extent?" he asked.

"Is the patriarch planning to personally meet the Qiao family member?" the leader of the Long Life Gatesect was even more surprised.

The Long Life Fist of the Qiao Family in Heyang City actually originated from the teachings of the Long Life Gate, said to be passed down by Taoist Changsheng.

However, the so-called "Taoist Changsheng" was actually a pseudonym used by the cultivators of the Long Life Gate.

The true Long Life Fist was actually a martial art created by the ancient ancestor of the Green Ancestor in this Cave Heaven Small World.

Among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, the Long Life Gate stands out as an exception that seeks longevity through martial arts in an era of depleted spiritual energy.

Over the millennia, the progress of martial arts in Jiu Province has been somewhat connected to the Long Life Gate.

The Xue family, known for their inherited power, was created over a thousand years ago by the Long Life Gate.

The Qiao Family in Heyang City, Nan Province, was founded on the Long Life Fist technique taught by the Long Life Gate hundreds of years ago.

Even the top 3rd rank Spiritual Refining Method is connected to the teachings of the Long Life Gate.

By reaching the superb rank in spiritual refining, one can cultivate a Pseudo Spiritual Root using the Long Life Gate’s techniques, allowing even those with the lowest talent to pursue the path of immortality.

Before the Qiao family members created the "Human Path Sutra" and "Divine Transformation Technique," mortal martial artists were considered to lack spiritual roots by Immortal Gate cultivators, forming the foundation of immortality cultivation.

Achieving the superb rank in spiritual refining is just the beginning of the path to immortality.

However, things changed with the appearance of the Qiao family members.

This aspect was also valued by the youthful ancestor of the Long Life Gate.

The youthful ancestor said, "Whether it’s the Long Life Fist or the bloodline of the Xue family, it’s all an experiment. Passing down martial arts to the mortal realm, letting them inherit for generations and waiting for the techniques to be perfected over hundreds or thousands of years."

"Since the time has come for us to meet, it’s natural that we should."

"I won’t go to meet him, I’ll have him come to me instead," said the young master slowly.

"Are you suggesting, Master, that we capture him alive? Bring him into this Long Life Gatesect?" the leader of Long Life Gatesect asked.

The young master just nodded lightly.

"Do you mean to say you want me to leave here?"

"I wouldn’t dare trouble the Master to do it personally," hurriedly replied the leader of Long Life Gatesect.

The young master in Cave Heaven Small World is the deepest foundation of the Immortal Gate. If he were to go to Jiu Province, his immortal cultivation would irreversibly decline.

Neither the young master himself in this place, nor Long Life Gate, actually want this to happen.

The Supreme Elder will not appear unless it’s absolutely necessary for the survival of the sect.

In the past, the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates relied on their Supreme Elders to deter each other, so they all showed restraint and hardly had any conflicts.

The leader of the Long Life Gatesect quickly flew up again, turning into a rainbow light and disappearing into the clouds.

The small world returned to its usual tranquility, with only the young ancestral master meditating on the giant rock under the waterfall.

"Could this member of the Qiao family be the variable that the Soul Predicting Path friend mentioned?" the young ancestral master muttered with his eyes closed.

……………………….

Half a day later.

In the meeting hall of the Long Life Gate, all the elders gathered together.

After listening to the words of the sect leader sitting at the main seat, all the elders were deeply shaken.

"Senior Brother sect leader, are you planning to capture the Qiao family member alive, as per the ancestral master’s wishes?" Immortal Changqing asked.

Immortal Changqing talked with Elder Qingzhuo from the Great Dao Sect before, holding the Xumi Mountain King Sutra, so he was quite interested in the Qiao family member and was the first to speak.

"It’s more than just the ancestor’s intent," said the Long Life Gate sect leader calmly.

"The Qiao family member possesses many rare and powerful techniques that surpass the martial arts of this era."

"If we could obtain these techniques and have the Qiao family member who researched them, it would greatly benefit our Long Life Gate."

Upon hearing this, the elders brightened up and nodded in agreement.

The cultivators of the Long Life Gate practice martial arts, not just combat techniques.

They may look down on Earth Sword Immortal’s Heavenly Slashing Swordsmanship.

But techniques like the Human Path Sutra and Divine Transformation Technique, which make groundbreaking advancements in martial arts, truly captivate them.

"Even so, the Qiao family member is not to be underestimated," the elders also showed signs of fear.

"Two powerful Immortal Gates have already been destroyed by members of the Qiao family, so they can’t afford to underestimate them again."

"Even though that’s the case, both the Yunxiao Sect and Xuantian Sect seem to have lost their heritage."

"The Xuantian Sect only has the Cave Heaven Small World, but the Supreme Elder has not made a move."

"As for the Yunxiao Sect… they may even lose the Cave Heaven Small World."

"While they are on par with the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates, they only have the Soul Changing Taoist Lord and lack deeper heritage, so they are ultimately different from us."

The elders all nodded in agreement.

Although the Supreme Elder rarely acts, they are the backbone of the sect.

The difference between having and not having is huge.

"You’re thinking too much, the ancestor won’t intervene in this matter," said the leader of the Long Life Gate sect slowly.

"Oh? Is the sect leader planning to do it personally?"

Long Life Gatesect leader waved his hand.

"Of course not."

"But what if we join forces with the other major Immortal Gates and jointly occupy Nan Province and Southeast Province?"

The elders were first surprised, and then applauded one after another.

A martial arts Qiao family, of course, couldn’t be compared to a major enemy that needs the help of the Seven Immortal Gates to compete with.

But if we add Nan Province and Southwest Province, these two regions that lost the Immortal Gate, it would be different.

The huge incense offerings here can support at least two Soul Changing Taoist Lords, and more than ten Nascent Soul Immortals…

"We also need to come up with another plan," said one of the elders.

"Other Immortal Gates may not be interested in the Qiao family member."

"If we unite with the rest of the Immortal Gates in the name of sharing the incense from two states and attack together, it should be foolproof."

The combined power of the seven Immortal Gates could easily destroy Qiao Qijin without any suspense.

It should be possible to capture him alive.

After all, the Immortal Gates have more than just the Supreme Elder.

Even though the Yunxiao Sect has lost its strength, there is still a branch of the Jingwei lineage that can help the Yunxiao Sect Leader prolong his life for a month by deceiving others.

Immortal Changqing suggested below:

"Sect leader, I have a plan."

"Go ahead."

"The other six sects, Great Dao Sect and Qingxuan Road are the strongest. If we can persuade one of them, then half of the job is done."

"So, if we first talk to Great Dao Sect and explain the situation, or perhaps let them take the lead?"

"After all, it was requested by the Supreme Elder. The life and death of the Qiao family member may be more important to us at Long Life Gate than the offerings of ordinary people."

"Therefore…." suggested Immortal Changqing:

"We can express our concern first, saying we care more about the Qiao family member’s life and death."

"Once the deal is done, we can compromise on the offerings from Nan Province and Southwest Province."

"As an exchange, the fate of the Qiao family member will then belong to us."

Hearing this, the leader of Long Life Gate sect’s eyes lit up.

"This plan is feasible."

"Time is running out. Send messengers today to inform the other Immortal Gates."

The Seven Immortal Gates that still exist today are the Great Dao Sect, Long Life Gate, Soul Predicting Path, Blood Lotus Sect, Tongtian Sword Sect, Qingxuan Road, and Liangyi Sect.

The former leader of the Yunxiao Sect is believed to have died at the hands of a member of the Qiao family. When this news spread, the other Immortal Gates came to inquire, wanting to be involved.

The current situation is different. Facing the Qiao family member who has reached such a high level in martial arts, people naturally have more fear.

"If things go smoothly, we won’t need the combined strength of the Seven Immortal Gates. Just persuading a few of them should be enough," thought the sect leader.

……………………

Nan Province, Peach Blossom Villa.

The sun shines brightly, a gentle breeze blows, and the leaves in the forest sway with a soft rustling sound.

"Transform, transform, transform, transform!"

Wu Mingkong was practicing martial arts in the bamboo forest. After feeling less talented than others for the first time in her life, she became surprisingly serious. She was sweating profusely, with her clothes sticking to her skin, highlighting her beautiful curves.

A Jingwei Bird perched on the top of a large banyan tree, watching attentively as the young girl Wu Mingkong practiced martial arts.

Meanwhile, a lazy fat cat was lying under the big tree, lazily sleeping belly up.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky, moving as fast as a shadow.

The fat cat lounging under the tree twitched its ears, not yet getting up before being captured on the spot by the newcomer, held in their hands and vigorously rubbed, making a pitiful "meow" sound.

"Long Shankong’s Dragon Transforming Step is quite impressive, but it still needs further improvement."

Qiao Mu has mastered the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps to the highest level, able to take eight steps in mid-air.

With his expertise in lightness skills, going back to practice the lower difficulty Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps, Dragon Transforming Step, will be a piece of cake for him. He is expected to master it within a few days.

However, other martial artists at the Peach Blossom Villa without a foundation in the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps might find it more challenging.

Qiao Mu had become a martial arts expert in Jiu Province with vast knowledge. He could easily see the flaws in the first version of Dragon Transforming Step.

"The first version is still too rough. It consumes a lot of True strength, which ordinary martial artists may not be able to sustain for long."

"Using the Dragon Transforming Step requires a high demand for True strength to burst from the soles of the feet, putting pressure on the foot meridians. Like Long Shankong before, performing light movements once caused the pants to be torn by the erupted True strength, showing a lack of control… Over time, this will inevitably harm the meridians."

Qiao Mu already had a rough idea of how to improve the Dragon Transforming Step, but it would take a lot of time to perfect it.

Of course, that’s a matter for later.

The current issue is about a playful cat named rua.

Qiao Mu playfully grabbed the chubby cat and vigorously rubbed its round belly upside down.

His large hands kneaded the belly like dough, causing the chubby cat to whimper in surrender.

"Transform!"

"I made it, I made it!"

From the distant trees came Wu Mingkong’s cry of astonishment.

Qiao Mu got distracted for a moment, and the chubby cat in his hand took advantage of this moment to meow and disappear in a flash.

He didn’t pay too much attention to it, but instead turned back to look in Wu Mingkong’s direction in the woods.

"Phew, I thought I had mastered the Hua strength technique, made my brain freeze for a moment there," Qiao Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Mingkong’s body was surrounded by a palpable energy, almost tangible, resembling a solid object.

This was clearly a manifestation of advanced martial arts skills, achieving True strength.

"All things come to those who wait…" Qiao Mu turned his head and glanced at the Jingwei Bird perched silently on the tree top, observing.

Unlike the chubby cat, the Jingwei Bird, besides looking carefree and resembling a young spirit at the moment of rebirth, later on displayed an evident demeanor of elegance and intelligence.

If this Jingwei Bird Qing Li, when did speak, claiming awakened past life wisdom, Qiao Mu wouldn’t be surprised.

Unlike the fat cat, who could already transform into a human, yet lived every day like a simple fat pig…

Thinking about this, Qiao Mu suddenly felt a movement under his feet and looked back.

Surprisingly, the fat cat that had just fled came back and was now approaching him from behind, reaching out with its claws to lightly scratch his ankles.

When Qiao Mu turned around, the fat cat meowed again, swinging its almost touching belly, taking short steps and quickly running away.

After running a few steps, it stopped and cautiously looked back to see if Qiao Mu was following.

"This little fat pig…" Qiao Mu muttered irritably.

It’s unclear if the fat cat had consumed the influence of the different species Gold Ingot Demon or if Qiao Mu himself was feeling complex emotions.

Watching the little fat pig run with short legs, a slight warmth filled Qiao Mu’s heart, stirring his emotions.

A Long Life Dream is still just a Long Life Dream.

Only by interacting with living beings in the world can one truly feel the taste of living in the world.

So after waking up from the Long Life Dream, he has been staying at Peach Blossom Villa these days.

One is to teach martial arts and try to cultivate more ambitious individuals.

Secondly, his mind is like a tightly stretched string, always in need of some time to relax a bit.

"Playing with cats is fun, but watching birds fly is also nice."

Qiao Mu reached out to greet the Jingwei Bird Qing Li perched on the tree.

However, the latter just tilted its head, glanced at Qiao Mu, then turned away to quietly watch Wu Mingkong practicing martial arts.

"Is it because he hasn’t fully awakened memories of past lives yet, or… is he still not familiar with me, ‘Qiao Qijin’?"

Qiao Mu felt a little bit helpless.

He had too many names and identities.

The Qiao family member is now famous in Jiu Province, causing a stir in the cultivation world.

But hardly anyone remembers or cares about Qiao Mu’s name anymore.

The Jingwei Bird Qing Li might be familiar with the Qiao family member from the Yunxiao Sect who died with her in the flood.
