Chapter 143: Don’t Say I’m Bullying You
“However, the Qi Realm should also reach Perfect Completion!”
With this thought, Li Yunqing closed her eyes slightly. The perfected Frost Sword Intent, like divine light, shot straight into her dantian.
“Boom!”
It was as if divine thunder exploded within her dantian.
Snow and frost filled the sky, blotting out heaven and earth, the chill instantly boiling over.
Even the glaciers and ice mountains radiated dazzling cold light.
Her entire dantian resembled a world formed of ice, a frozen domain filled with deathly stillness and silence.
At the center of the dantian, Greater Yin True Qi and Greater Yin Divine Light gathered, gradually condensing into a sphere of light.
A crystal-clear sphere.
Its exterior formed from ice crystals, while inside, True Qi flowed like water—like a star or moon formed from ice and snow, illuminating the entire dantian.
All the glaciers and ice mountains within were shrouded in a hazy divine radiance.
“Liquefied Greater Yin True Qi!”
“Containing Greater Yin divine radiance—capable of freezing all things!”
A thought flashed through Li Yunqing’s mind, but she did not stop.
With a shift of her will, the icy sphere in her dantian rotated, and the Greater Yin True Qi instantly flowed throughout her entire body.
It ultimately gathered in the Ren and Du meridians, smashing through their barriers with unstoppable force, connecting her entire body.
“Qi Realm Perfect Completion!”
At that moment, Li Yunqing felt that the Greater Yin True Qi in her dantian could flow to any part of her body with a single thought.
It moved freely in all directions, without the slightest obstruction, entirely under her control.
The liquefied Greater Yin True Qi rapidly gathered toward the Tanzhong Acupoint in her chest.
“Buzz!”
The Tanzhong Acupoint resounded continuously. Immortal-Martial Power completely liquefied, no longer containing even a trace of mist.
At its center, it formed into a lake—pure and sacred, without the slightest impurity.
In just a short moment, within the Tanzhong Acupoint, a tranquil yet distant world formed—where life and death intertwined.
Above, wind and thunder rolled with destructive force, as if endless death gathered there.
On the ground, mountains stretched endlessly, while at the center lay a calm lake like a mirror, reflecting everything.
All around, flowers, plants, and trees flourished with boundless vitality.
A world that should have been full of contradictions instead formed a harmonious and beautiful scene under the illumination of the bright moon hanging high above.
It was as if the moon, formed from Pure Yin True Intent, had stilled the cycle of life and death, as well as the passage of time.
“In the Sea of Consciousness, the Five Elements circulate and all things grow.”
“In the dantian, there is utter stillness, devoid of vitality.”
“In the Tanzhong Acupoint, life and death intertwine, and all things stand still.”
“This is another transformation of Immortal-Martial Power!”
Feeling the changes within her body, Li Yunqing opened her eyes, Immortal-Martial Power flowing from her fingertips.
“Buzz!”
The moment Immortal-Martial Power manifested, all things in heaven and earth seemed to fall into an eerie stillness.
In the next instant, the vast momentum of heaven and earth descended.
The Five Elements, wind and thunder, life and death, frost… all fundamental forces of the world surrounded Li Yunqing.
It seemed that with a single thought, she could hurl this momentum of heaven and earth like a divine mountain.
This feeling gave her the sense that with a light tap of her finger, she could tear apart the heavens, suppress all things, and freeze the entire world.
“So it can draw upon the power of the entire heaven and earth, no longer limited to single aspects like metal, wood, water, fire, mountain, earth, or thunder…”
At this moment, personally experiencing the terror of Pure Yin True Intent and Immortal-Martial Power, Li Yunqing suddenly understood.
When chaos opened, yin and yang emerged.
These yin and yang did not refer to a single attribute, but to all attributes.
Through the cyclical generation and restraint of yin and yang, the Five Elements and all things were born.
Thus, whether yin or yang, both could draw upon the entirety of the world’s momentum.
“Profound Realm? I feel like I could suppress it with a raised hand!”
Looking at the Immortal-Martial Power at her fingertips, Li Yunqing felt a surge of shock.
This was not an illusion, but an extremely real sensation.
Though she had not broken through to the Profound Realm, the fusion of Immortal-Martial Power and Pure Yin True Intent allowed her to draw upon the momentum of heaven and earth.
Even if she did not fully control it—only invoked it—
With the enhancement of the Pure Yin Dao Body, the vast momentum she drew was far beyond what those who controlled a single aspect could withstand.
“This is the true strength of Immortal-Martial Power… unfortunately, there is no direct method to cultivate it!”
“And I only obtained it by chance, unable to fully grasp its entirety.”
Dispersing the Immortal-Martial Power in her hand, Li Yunqing sighed inwardly.
Immortal-Martial Power was formed by the fusion of Immortal Dao and Martial Dao.
In this era where the Immortal Dao path was severed, without reaching a certain height, it was difficult to create corresponding cultivation methods.
“Perhaps the path beyond the Divine Realm cannot be opened because Martial Dao True Qi, no matter how it transforms, still lacks the most crucial step!”
Li Yunqing pondered.
The Immortal Dao directly absorbed the power of heaven and earth, easily leveraging its momentum and aligning with its laws and rules.
Because they were originally one.
Martial Dao, however, relied on True Qi formed from the physical body and blood.
Even after being refined by True Intent and the momentum of heaven and earth, it could not achieve the same.
It might even be unable to bear the laws and rules of heaven and earth, collapsing as a result.
Because their fundamental nature was different.
Unless the human body could rival heaven and earth itself—only then might the True Qi it produced stand on equal footing with the world.
“Immortal-Martial Power is my true foundation!”
“Unfortunately, for now, it can only be born through dual cultivation of Martial Dao and Immortal Dao.”
“I wonder if my current Immortal-Martial Power can contend with the Divine Realm?”
Thoughts surged through Li Yunqing’s mind. She glanced at the sky and walked toward her Sword God Master’s small courtyard.
She had never truly encountered the power of the Divine Realm and could not compare.
But in her view, once she broke through to the Profound Realm, even if she could not fight the Divine Realm, she could at least ensure her survival.
“As for the Profound Realm, I need to use Pure Yin True Intent to draw upon the momentum of heaven and earth.”
“Not just Frost Sword Intent alone!”
“I’m close—but with the Pure Yin Dao Body, it won’t take many days.”
Along the way, thoughts continuously flowed through her mind as she planned her future path.
If she broke through using Frost Sword Intent, the momentum she could draw would only be frost-related.
Even if she succeeded and mastered frost momentum, it would still be inferior to the momentum drawn jointly by Pure Yin True Intent and Immortal-Martial Power.
Since she was going to break through, she would naturally take the path most suited to herself.
In front of the courtyard, Li Yunqing stopped, her voice gentle:
“The night has fallen. Yunqing will take her leave first. Master, Mistress—farewell!”
As a disciple, proper etiquette could not be neglected.
After speaking, she slightly bent her body in salute. Just as she was about to leave, she saw Ying Qianqian staring at her intently.
“What is it, Senior Sister?”
Li Yunqing paused slightly. Could it be that the Pure Yin Dao Body had not been concealed properly?
“Junior Sister, you… seem different!”
Ying Qianqian circled around Li Yunqing but found nothing unusual. She could only say, “It just feels like you’re more gentle, more… soft and radiant, and more beautiful.”
“But I can’t say what exactly has changed!”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing relaxed and replied, “Perhaps I’ve read more books recently, so my state of mind has changed a little.”
Sword manuals were also books—she wasn’t lying.
“Let’s go, I’ll walk you out!”
Ying Qianqian didn’t think much of it. She linked arms with Li Yunqing and walked toward the martial hall entrance, chatting and laughing along the way.
She even secretly took Li Yunqing’s hand and placed it on her own chest, asking mysteriously, “Does it feel bigger?”
“The medicine you prescribed is really effective. These past two days, my chest has felt warm and swollen.”
Through the fabric, feeling the softness and fullness in her palm, Li Yunqing paused slightly.
How could someone just take another person’s hand and make them touch themselves?
“…Mm.”
Li Yunqing responded perfunctorily with a nod.
She had never touched before—she really couldn’t tell if it had grown.
Though it did have some feeling, even through the clothing.
But compared to her own… it was far inferior.
Outside the martial hall gates.
After parting with Ying Qianqian, Li Yunqing boarded her carriage. She divided half her focus and immersed herself in comprehension.
Being aligned with the Pure Yin Dao, she could constantly comprehend Pure Yin True Intent.
“The Pure Yin Dao Body has formed. Next is the Yang Spirit!”
“And breaking through to the Profound Realm!”
“However, I still don’t have a cultivation method for the Profound Realm!”
Mingyu Divine Art could only be cultivated to the Perfect Completion of the Qi Realm. Myriad Swords Return to the Origin was a sword technique, and even the Frost Sword Canon was still a sword technique.
Even after integrating the Sword Saint’s Cangshan Sword Canon, there was still no Profound Realm cultivation method.
“Should I find a way to obtain the Mingyu Scripture… or cultivate another method?”
Various thoughts surged in her mind.
Now that she had taken the Sword God as her master, if she asked about a main cultivation method, Sword God Ying Jiu would likely not be stingy.
As for the Mingyu Scripture, aside from forcibly seizing it, she likely could not obtain it.
It concerned the inheritance of a sect—even if the Mingyu Sect were willing to give it, there would certainly be conditions.
Ordinary conditions would be fine—but if they were harsh or unreasonable, that would be troublesome.
“Forget it. I’ll ask my two masters later.”
Li Yunqing made her decision.
The Sword God and the Sword Saint had far greater experience than someone like her, who had only cultivated for a few months.
Suddenly—
“Creak!”
The carriage came to an abrupt stop. Leaning against Xiaolan, Li Yunqing was thrown forward—
Only to be caught in time by Xiaolan.
“What happened?”
Just as Li Yunqing spoke, a voice filled with soaring battle intent rang out from outside the carriage.
“Li Yunqing, come out and fight!”
“Since you haven’t yet broken through to the Profound Realm, I, Xiang Changfeng, will give you one hand!”
“If you lose, don’t say I bullied you!”
