Chapter 330: Heaven-Descending Demon-Subduing Universe Finger
【Given that you have reached the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm and have begun to probe the soul, as the master of the Dao Lineage, your breakthrough has a profound impact on the development of the Dao Lineage. You have gained one Fate Trait selection opportunity and one Divine Art inheritance opportunity】
Li Qingqiu raised his brow, not expecting to obtain two types of rewards at once—especially the Fate Trait selection opportunity he favored the most.
It seemed the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm was indeed crucial. Thinking about it, it made sense—according to Wei Tianxiong, without a Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm expert, a sect could only barely survive in the Heavenly Nether Sea.
Although Ziyang Island was merely a third-rate sect, it still possessed a Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm cultivator.
Li Qingqiu closed his eyes again and continued stabilizing his cultivation.
As the thunderclouds in the sky began to disperse and sunlight poured down, all disciples of the Clear Sky Sect understood that their Sect Master had successfully completed his tribulation.
Thunderous cheers erupted, plunging heaven and earth into a clamor.
This tribulation had opened everyone’s eyes. The terrifying Heavenly Might allowed the Clear Sky Sect disciples to truly recognize, for the first time, the Sect Master’s level of cultivation.
All the peaks fell into heated discussion, yet no one dared ascend Establishing Snow Peak to disturb Li Qingqiu.
Just stabilizing his cultivation took Li Qingqiu a full five days. During those five days, fierce winds continuously surged toward the summit of Establishing Snow Peak—an phenomenon caused by the vast spiritual energy gathering there.
At noon.
The sunlight was brilliant.
The Ancient Great Mountain Range, once covered in heavy snow, now saw Establishing Snow Peak where Li Qingqiu resided appear as though it were in the height of summer. Sunlight formed a radiant barrier along the mountain’s edges, isolating it from the world.
Li Qingqiu stood up. Looking at his hands, he felt the vast and surging vital energy within his body, and a smile appeared on his face.
At this moment, his vital energy was a thousand times greater than before his breakthrough, and its quality far surpassed that of the Spirit Perception Realm.
After breaking through, his understanding of the Dharma Manifestation had deepened. Now, he could effortlessly deploy his Dharma Manifestation Domain as if it were a Divine Art.
In his view, the Dharma Manifestation Domain was a special kind of Divine Art. Every Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm cultivator possessed a unique Dharma Manifestation, and thus their domains differed.
Relying solely on the power of the Dharma Manifestation, a cultivator of this realm could suppress all beings within the Spirit Perception Realm.
No wonder those at this level were called great cultivators!
Li Qingqiu directly used the Extreme Movement Technique and returned to Lingxiao Courtyard.
Wei Tianxiong had long been waiting there.
Upon seeing Li Qingqiu appear, he immediately stepped forward, arriving before him and looking him up and down with burning eyes.
“How do you feel?” Wei Tianxiong asked, his voice trembling.
Li Qingqiu curled his lips into a smile and said, “Very good. Better than ever before.”
Only he himself knew how powerful he had become.
His confidence had greatly increased. Whether facing the Myriad Yin Sect or Ziyang Island in the south, he now had full confidence.
Hearing this, Wei Tianxiong grew even more excited and asked, “Can I experience your Dharma Manifestation Domain?”
Li Qingqiu smiled faintly and activated his Dharma Manifestation.
In an instant, a terrifying power erupted from his body, spreading in all directions.
Wei Tianxiong felt the world before his eyes suddenly change. He found himself standing on a desolate land. In the distance were erupting volcanoes, and an indescribable pressure surged toward him.
Then, at the horizon, he saw five towering figures slowly rise, their bodies seeming capable of piercing through the heavens.
Before these five Dharma Manifestations, Wei Tianxiong felt as insignificant as an insect.
His eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
“How can his Dharma Manifestation Domain be so vast?”
Shock surged wildly within him.
He had anticipated that Li Qingqiu’s domain would be terrifying—but not to this extent.
A Dharma Manifestation Domain had a definite range, yet standing here, he could not perceive its boundaries at all.
Most crucially, how could Li Qingqiu directly create five Dharma Manifestations?
Facing those towering figures like mountains, he felt no will to resist—only endless fear.
At that moment, the world shifted again, and Wei Tianxiong returned to Lingxiao Courtyard.
Looking at Li Qingqiu, who stood smiling before him, he was so overwhelmed that he directly knelt down.
“Incredible… Sect Master, are you truly an immortal descended to the mortal world?”
Hearing this, Li Qingqiu could neither laugh nor cry. He reached out and helped Wei Tianxiong up.
“Among the Heavenly Nether Sea, what level would my Dharma Manifestation rank?” Li Qingqiu asked with a smile.
“What level? None can compare!”
Wei Tianxiong’s voice suddenly rose, leaving Li Qingqiu even more helpless—though inwardly, he felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
The fact that he could shock a Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm great cultivator to this extent proved how powerful his Dharma Manifestation truly was.
Looking at Wei Tianxiong, Li Qingqiu said meaningfully, “Deputy Hall Master Wei, the Clear Sky Sect can now begin implementing more plans.”
Wei Tianxiong nodded heavily and said, “Heaven’s Mandate belongs to Clear Sky! I will do everything in my power to help the Clear Sky Sect unify the mortal cultivation world!”
Li Qingqiu hadn’t expected him to say something so grand—it was somewhat exaggerated.
Yet Wei Tianxiong was not speaking nonsense. After witnessing Li Qingqiu’s Dharma Manifestation Domain, he felt the sect’s future was beyond imagination—certainly beyond anything the Longevity Immortal Alliance could compare to.
Li Qingqiu shook his head with a smile and instructed Wei Tianxiong to ring the Lingxiao Bell.
This time, Wei Tianxiong had no complaints and was extremely enthusiastic.
As the Lingxiao Bell rang, it didn’t take long before the sect’s upper ranks arrived one after another. Their gazes toward Li Qingqiu were filled with excitement, though none as exaggerated as Wei Tianxiong’s.
Once everyone had gathered, Li Qingqiu said, “That’s right—I have already broken through, reaching the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm above the Spirit Perception Realm.”
As soon as these words fell, Lingxiao Courtyard erupted.
“Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm? How powerful is that?”
“Sect Master, does the Spirit Perception Realm also have nine layers?”
“What exactly is the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm?”
“Compared to the Sect Master, the sect’s geniuses are nothing!”
“The might of that tribulation alone shows how terrifying this realm is!”
Everyone spoke excitedly, while Wei Tianxiong couldn’t help but curl his lip upon hearing Yang Jueding’s words.
Not every Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm cultivator was this powerful!
After witnessing Li Qingqiu’s domain, Wei Tianxiong’s mindset had completely changed—his respect for Li Qingqiu now came from the depths of his heart.
Li Qingqiu had just checked his loyalty; it had surged significantly, reaching 97 in personal loyalty.
After letting everyone discuss for a while, Li Qingqiu tapped the table. The crowd immediately fell silent, all eyes burning as they looked at him.
“There is no need to disclose my realm to the sect’s disciples. Starting tomorrow, prepare to explore the Western Region and the southern sea. Lord Jing will arrange manpower, and all Hall Masters must fully support this!”
Li Qingqiu spoke with a serious expression. No one dared object.
In truth, the Clear Sky Sect had already begun to feel pressure on resources—especially spirit stones. The disciples’ demand was immense. They had long wanted to expand outward, but without Li Qingqiu’s command, they dared not act recklessly.
“Additionally, send more personnel to Xiyu Immortal City. Hall Master Zhang Yuchun will take charge of selecting them,” Li Qingqiu continued.
Zhang Yuchun immediately accepted the order, equally excited.
Li Qingqiu’s breakthrough had given them immense confidence, making them unafraid of any danger.
“We may soon face attacks from other cultivation sects. I hope all of you prepare yourselves. This is both a crisis and a trial. If we cannot defeat even one cultivation sect, we will struggle to face the threats of the Land of Demons and Devils, let alone venture south.”
Li Qingqiu swept his gaze across everyone and spoke seriously.
The crowd restrained their smiles and nodded in agreement.
Some trials had to be faced—this was a hurdle the sect must overcome in its development!
……
Late at night.
Li Qingqiu sat cross-legged on the stone bed within his cave dwelling and began using the Divine Art inheritance.
【Claim Divine Art inheritance reward】
【Activating Dao Lineage Divine Art inheritance】
【You have obtained Divine Art — Heaven-Descending Demon-Subduing Universe Finger】
【Do you accept the inheritance】
Heaven-Descending Demon-Subduing Universe Finger!
What a domineering name!
Li Qingqiu immediately chose to accept the inheritance. Vast memories surged into his mind, and his consciousness entered a profound, mysterious state.
This time, the inheritance lasted longer than before—indicating just how powerful this Divine Art was.
It was not until the latter half of the night that Li Qingqiu finally opened his eyes.
“It seems both Divine Art inheritance and Dao Lineage inheritance are based on my cultivation. This Divine Art is more profound and more domineering than the previous ones.”
Li Qingqiu pondered silently. Raising his right hand, he pressed his index and middle fingers together. Vital energy condensed at his fingertips, causing the entire cave dwelling to tremble slightly.
Lin Chuan and Nangong E suddenly turned to look at him, while even the ghost flood dragon on the back of his hand trembled in fear.
Li Qingqiu did not continue executing the Heaven-Descending Demon-Subduing Universe Finger. This Divine Art was too domineering—its destructive power even surpassed the Immortal Severing Three Swords obtained by Jiang Zhaoxia.
This would become his new killing move!
Li Qingqiu relaxed his hand. The cave dwelling stopped trembling, and the terrifying pressure enveloping the three ghost servants dissipated.
“Continue your cultivation. Don’t mind me.”
After giving the instruction, Li Qingqiu once again summoned the Dao Lineage Panel and used the Fortuitous Fate opportunity he had saved.
【Claim Fortuitous Fate reward】
【Activating Fortuitous Fate】
【Detecting Fortuitous Fate】
【Fortuitous Fate detected. A high-grade spirit vein has been discovered. Do you accept the guidance】
A high-grade spirit vein… could it be a mountain range of spirit stones?
Li Qingqiu felt a surge of excitement. The Clear Sky Sect currently had an urgent need for spirit stone reserves.
Disciples needed spirit stones for cultivation, formations required them, artifact forging consumed them—and future battles with other cultivation sects would demand even more.
The more, the better!
Li Qingqiu chose to accept the guidance.
……
As the moon set and the sun rose, a new day arrived.
Li Qingqiu walked out of his cave dwelling, took out the Sect Master Token, and contacted Xu Ning while heading toward Lingxiao Courtyard.
After reaching the Heaven-Connecting Radiance Realm, his spiritual sense had undergone a transformation. Drawing the map jade slip the previous night had taken little time, and the process had been far easier than before.
Coincidentally, the high-grade spirit vein was located within the Western Region Perilous Land.
This meant the Clear Sky Sect had to expand westward.
Li Qingqiu decided to send Xu Ning—someone he trusted—to locate the high-grade spirit vein.
Not only that, he would also select a group of True Transmission Disciples to accompany her and construct a teleportation formation at the site of the spirit vein.
After summoning Xu Ning, he also summoned Wei Tianxiong and Xue Jin.
The high-grade spirit vein was of utmost importance. Li Qingqiu would not allow any mishaps—so he intended to dispatch an elite force to ensure absolute success.
