Seeking Immortality in a Bizarre World-Chapter 539 - 534 Ancestor Qingxuan, Makes a Move!_1
Jikong Three Palms?
What kind of divine skill is this?
Many cultivators had no problem multitasking using their spiritual sense; those with exceptional talents could even manage three tasks simultaneously. To multitask four ways, one must inevitably learn a special divine skill.
He had learned this divine skill, and with the Proficiency Panel reaching a Technique-Nearing-Dao Level, he could multitask effortlessly. Even displaying the Jikong Six Palms with his Three Heads and Six Arms wouldn’t be a problem.
Jia Ren’s eyes brimmed with anticipation. I must find an opportunity to learn this divine skill from Master.
After three palm strikes, Ancestor Ji Kong stood amidst the shattered space; the tumultuous spatial turbulence was incapable of harming his colossal figure.
The giant with Three Heads and Six Arms stomped down, his foot like a pillar supporting the heavens, causing the space—which was on the verge of recovery—to shatter like a mirror once again.
With one step, it was as if he traversed Inches Apart, Worlds Away.
The six palms exuded an inexplicable pulling force, locking onto the disheveled figure of the Xuantiandao Sect’s Integration Period Cultivator.
The great divine power Wind of Brilliant Heaven remained. The Xuantiandao Sect’s Integration Period Cultivator’s escape technique was unmatched, and Ancestor Ji Kong’s palms had yet to capture him.
I thought I could escape untouched! Invisible chains struck silently, twining towards his divine soul.
This strike had not entangled the divine soul but instead bound the person trying to flee.
Once a cultivator reached the Body Integration Realm, their divine soul was already fused with their body, making conventional means against the divine soul useless.
This was also why the God-binding Chain could only entangle the body.
"Divine Profound Dharma Form!"
The spirit of a massive green snake materialized behind him, transforming into an immense Divine Profound Dharma Form. It was slippery and elusive, rendering the God-binding Chain unable to restrict it.
With the Divine Profound Dharma Form’s empowerment, his aura grew even stronger.
"Green Serpent’s Poison Saliva!"
The Divine Profound Dharma Form of the green snake opened its mouth, spraying a vast expanse of green toxic liquid that corroded the space with a sizzling sound.
Merging into the wind, his form became increasingly blurred.
The Divine Profound Dharma Form was the Xuantiandao Sect’s great divine power, different from Law of Heaven and Earth. It primarily enhanced the power of divine skills and techniques.
Ancestor Ji Kong was not afraid in the slightest. He let the green toxic liquid corrode his body, his skin showing a five-colored light, brimming with life.
His physical body traversed through space, leaving behind a vast expanse of void, as three palms unleashed their terrifying power.
The figure melting into the wind felt a powerful threat, and in the next moment, a strong sense of crisis struck.
Previously, the Ji Kong Palm couldn’t lock onto me. Why would this time be an exception?
No, it’s the God-binding Chain!
Realizing something was amiss, the Xuantiandao Sect’s Integration Period Cultivator’s eyes bulged. Feeling the threat of death, he quickly roared, "Grandfather, save me!"
Jia Ren, observing the battle from afar, heard these words, and his expression couldn’t help but change.
To rescue someone from Ancestor Ji Kong’s hands would surely require a top cultivator from the Xuantiandao Sect, likely Ancestor Qingxuan. This place is dangerous!
He instinctively moved away from the area to avoid trouble.
Three Ji Kong Palms struck down, utterly shattering the hidden spot and turning it into a zone of spatially fractured silence and death.
The hidden aura flickered out like an extinguished candle. As a streak of spiritual light fled like lightning, a beam of black finger light had already descended before it could get far.
"Stop!"
Among the heavens and earth, the shadow of a starry sea appeared. A figure stepped upon this starry sea, traveling across tens of thousands of miles, hastening to this location.
However, his actions were a step too late. He could only watch helplessly as his grandson’s fleeing divine soul was extinguished, turning into nothingness.
Ancestor Qingyuan had fallen, a vast number of Xuantiandao Sect cultivators were dead, and his grandson, who had hopes for the Mahayana Realm, had perished at Ancestor Ji Kong’s hands. His hatred for the Lingbao Sect was now as deep as the seas!
Ancestor Qingxuan’s eyes were blood-red, his terrifying murderous intent causing the atmosphere around him to boil.
"How did this old geezer get here?!"
Realizing trouble had arrived, Ancestor Ji Kong did not hesitate, transforming into an Escape Light and heading back to the Lingbao Sect.
As long as I return to the Sect and rely on the Formation’s defensive strength, Ancestor Qingxuan won’t be able to do anything to me.
Though it was a good plan, escaping back to the Sect from an enraged Mahayana Stage Cultivator was not an easy task.
"Pay for my grandson’s life!"
Behind Ancestor Qingxuan, an azure firebird with gigantic wings emerged, resembling the legendary divine beast, the Azure Luan.
"Heaven-Scorching Fire!"
His entire body surged with azure flames, as if intending to burn everything with the Green Fire.
The vast sky was enveloped by azure flames; Green Fire was everywhere, leaving no place to hide, no place to escape.
The might of the azure flames inspired fear. Ancestor Ji Kong, unlike when he had boldly dealt with the Green Serpent’s Poison Saliva, decisively used Law of Heaven and Earth to shrink his body, not wanting to touch even a bit of the flame.
Everywhere he looked was Green Fire; it took over every region. Where can I escape to?
"Inches Apart, Worlds Away!"
Ancestor Ji Kong decisively used his divine skill, attempting to escape from the area and avert the perilous zone.
"Forbidden Air Law Domain!"
Before he could escape using Inches Apart, Worlds Away, he found he was already unable to use it.
Furthermore, it was impossible to fly in this area; even a Nascent Soul period cultivator’s physical body couldn’t traverse the Void.
Ancestor Ji Kong’s body hit the ground. He ran swiftly, dodging danger.
Balls of azure flames fell, scorching the earth and leaving no place to hide.
Before long, flames ’bloomed’ everywhere, leaving no room for sanctuary.
Ancestor Ji Kong inevitably came into contact with the azure flames. As his body touched them, the five-colored treasure light circulated, constantly colliding with the flames.
The azure flames are too terrifying!
The five-colored treasure light began to deform under the flames, showing signs of melting.
Soon, the protective treasure light formed by the Sky-reaching Spirit Treasure was burned through by the flames, which then landed upon his body.
"AH!"
Ancestor Ji Kong realized the situation was dire. He shed his body like a cicada molting its shell.
Even so, he was touched by the flames, and his body was ignited.
Leave this place! Flee with all your might!
Would Ancestor Qingxuan give him a chance?
Amidst the sky filled with Green Fire, a green firebird emerged. Resembling an Azure Luan, it brought forth a sky full of flames as it descended toward Ancestor Ji Kong.
The once haughty Ancestor Ji Kong, who had easily defeated two Nascent Soul period cultivators with his Law of Heaven and Earth, was suddenly crushed in an instant.
This showed the gap between the Body Integration Realm and the Mahayana Realm; even with three Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures and a great divine power, it could not be bridged.
After all, if you possess a great divine power, a Mahayana Stage Cultivator has even more.
You have Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, and so does Ancestor Qingxuan.
The number of Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures of the Xuantiandao Sect could not compare with that of the Lingbao Sect, but their most elite masters might still possess one or two.
With no advantages in cultivation level, divine skills, or Sky-reaching Spirit Treasures, how could one possibly slay a Mahayana Stage Cultivator?
The Green Fire danced, falling toward Ancestor Ji Kong.
The Fate-Switching Talisman was activated, but it only blocked a single instance of damage and was unable to transfer the person.
Ancestor Ji Kong’s time of death is approaching.
Jia Ren had been watching from the sidelines, observing the battle between his master and Ancestor Qingxuan, learning from the experience.
The battle that broke out between the two was too terrifying, and he dared not get too close.
When Ancestor Ji Kong disposed of the Xuantiandao Sect’s Integration Period Cultivator and the latter cried out for his grandfather, Jia Ren realized the situation was bad and decisively distanced himself, avoiding the reach of the pervasive Green Fire.
Can I only watch helplessly as my master, Ancestor Ji Kong, dies tragically here?! Ancestor Ji Kong treated me well; I am not so cold-hearted and ruthless. Without a way to save Ancestor Ji Kong, I will remember this and, upon reaching the Mahayana Realm, seek revenge for him. But what if I truly have a way to save him...
Jia Ren did not hesitate. He swallowed a Virtual Spirit Pill he had refined, activating its medicinal power.
In an instant, he disappeared from his original location, entering a state of nonexistence.
Jia Ren carefully extended his hand toward the Green Fire, feeling not even the slightest warmth.
Having gained confidence, he reached out and touched it; his palm passed through the Green Fire.
The description of the Virtual Spirit Pill was accurate; it did indeed possess incredible power.
Its only downsides were the short duration and the fact that after consuming the pill, one should not act rashly.
Jia Ren passed through the expanse of Green Fire. To him, the all-encompassing Green Fire was as if nonexistent, and he hurried towards Ancestor Ji Kong’s location with all his might.
With each step on the earth, he could feel the power of the land merge into him. With every stride, it was almost as if he teleported.
The distance between himself and Ancestor Ji Kong closed rapidly.
As a Nascent Soul period cultivator, Ancestor Ji Kong had many life-saving objects. The Fate-Switching Talisman was triggered three times in quick succession, buying him precious time to survive.
"Space Shattering!"
Ancestor Ji Kong, knowing well he couldn’t escape using an escape technique, had a flash of determination in his eyes.
He decisively shattered the space before him and entered the Void.
Normal escape won’t allow me to leave alive; smoothly arriving at the Lingbao Sect is impossible. Only by entering the Void can I have a chance at survival.
Ancestor Ji Kong relied on escaping into the Void as his last lifeline.
BOOM!
The green firebird spread its wings, following closely into the Void, leaving no chance for Ancestor Ji Kong to escape.
"Did you think that by entering the Void, you could escape?"
"The destruction of the Lingbao Sect starts with you!"
Ancestor Qingxuan did not hesitate. With a flicker of his figure, he had already reached the shattered spatial zone, ready to enter the Void and chase down Ancestor Ji Kong.
The number of Lingbao Sect cultivators capable of sustaining the Sect is few, and the number of Nascent Soul period cultivators in the Lingbao Sect is diminishing. By cutting off another one of Lingbao Sect’s limbs, the Sect will be weakened step by step. The Lingbao Sect will only be able to hold its ground at its own Sect, teetering in the wind and rain. Other sects lurking in the shadows will certainly swarm in. Once the situation is set, it will be too late to turn the tide. The hungry wolves will share in the feast of the fallen giant.
Ancestor Qingxuan lifted his foot to step into the Void but, at that moment, felt an intense sense of crisis.
The cicada senses the wind before it stirs!
A Mahayana Stage Cultivator’s divine soul perception was powerful, able to discern the finest detail.
He looked around but could not find the source of danger.
Could Ancestor Ji Kong still have a counterattack at his disposal?
Ancestor Qingxuan focused his attention into the Void, searching for Ancestor Ji Kong’s figure to prevent any last-ditch counterattack.
He could not be certain that the other party didn’t have some special method that could result in mutual destruction.
Jia Ren leaped above Ancestor Qingxuan’s head, dropping two black balls from his palm that struck Ancestor Qingxuan squarely on the forehead.
One of the black balls contained twelve Bewildering Charms.
The other held six Longevity Gui Talismans.
I intend to test the power of the Longevity Gui Talismans using Ancestor Qingxuan, a Mahayana Stage Cultivator. Since Ancestor Qingxuan has been a Mahayana Stage Cultivator for quite some time, he presumably doesn’t have much lifespan left; exhausting his lifespan would be ideal. The Bewildering Charms are meant as a life-saving measure for both myself and Ancestor Ji Kong. Should my attempt to kill fail and I attract Ancestor Qingxuan’s pursuit, these could disrupt Ancestor Qingxuan’s sense of direction, allowing a successful escape.
As soon as the two Fu Wan appeared, they exploded, activating the power of the Bizarre Objects.
This was the first time that Bizarre Talismans had been unveiled before Xuan Realm Cultivators.
