Chapter 167 : Immortal Technique
Chapter 167: Immortal Technique!
Outside the ruined temple, the night was dark, the wind fierce, and torrential rain poured down.
The world was vast and dim.
Within that heavy rain, more than a dozen figures radiated light around their bodies, like barriers, isolating the downpour.
They stood confronting the six guards, Xiaolan, and Ying Qianqian.
As Li Yunqing’s guards, they had naturally received blessings as well. Even though they cultivated some unranked techniques from their families,
they had all reached the Qi Realm, and in some remote prefectures, they would already be considered experts.
Of course, with the revival of heaven and earth and the surge of spiritual energy, the overall strength of the Fallen Immortal Land was also rapidly increasing.
Especially at this initial stage of revival, opportunities were abundant.
In the future, perhaps only the Profound Realm could be called expert, the Divine Realm could be called strong, and only the Dao Realm would dare be called supreme.
Heaven and earth were changing, and all living beings changed along with them.
If heaven and earth became strong enough, like the Great Scarlet Heaven, even children could tear apart tigers and leopards with their bare hands—everyone being like dragons would not be an exaggeration.
Heaven and earth had their own laws, nurturing all beings; all beings comprehended these laws, opened countless paths, and in turn nourished heaven and earth.
Only with all living things and heaven and earth coexisting could a world reach its most harmonious state.
“With the revival of heaven and earth, spiritual opportunities have emerged. A dragon’s roar shook this place, and torrential rain pours—there must be a treasure appearing!”
“Who are you? Hand over the treasure, and you may live!”
The twelve figures were all in the Profound Realm. At this moment, they shouted in unison, their voices like thunder, causing even the heavy rain to pause for a moment.
Their power was immense.
Clearly, with the revival of heaven and earth, nourished by various spiritual energies and opportunities, a treasure-hunting frenzy had already formed.
It had even allowed many martial artists who had been stuck in the Qi Realm for years to break through in one step and become Profound Realm experts.
“A dragon’s roar?”
“You want it? Dare you take it if I give it to you?”
Hearing this, Ying Qianqian let out a cold shout. A white dragon phantom suddenly soared around her body.
“Roar!”
The illusory white dragon raised its head and roared toward the sky, its cry echoing through heaven and earth.
The next moment, the white dragon dove down, its tail sweeping out.
“Boom…”
Terrifying power directly split the torrential rain in half. Countless streams of water gathered, swirling around the white dragon, forming a vast surging torrent.
Seeing this, the twelve figures all changed expression and struck together.
“Boom…”
With the combined force of the twelve, their powerful attack collided with the white dragon, as if heaven and earth themselves were shattering.
Countless raindrops shot out like arrows in all directions.
Flowers, grass, trees, earth, and rocks were all pierced through with popping sounds.
Even the twelve figures were forced back repeatedly.
Ying Qianqian, Xiaolan, and the guards were also sent flying backward.
“With the revival of heaven and earth, spiritual opportunities have appeared, and the power of martial arts has greatly increased!”
Seeing this, Li Yunqing felt a realization, but she did not hesitate. With a sweep of her sleeve,
a gentle force instantly protected Xiaolan, Ying Qianqian, and the six guards.
At the same time, Li Yunqing stepped out from the ruined temple.
Twelve Profound Realm experts— even if Ying Qianqian had mastered a Dragon Clan Divine Ability, they were not so easy to deal with.
To prevent anyone from getting injured, Li Yunqing naturally had to appear.
“Hmph! Not bad strength. This place must have given birth to a Martial Divine Ability, and you obtained it!”
The twelve Profound Realm experts snorted coldly and were about to charge forward, when they suddenly noticed a purple figure walking out of the ruined temple.
Her expression was gentle and serene, her figure graceful and alluring, as if countless charms flowed from her, and her beauty was unmatched.
Yet there was also an indescribable familiarity.
“Step!”
The twelve abruptly halted their steps, their expressions instantly stiffening, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.
The next moment, all twelve Profound Realm martial artists bowed deeply in unison and spoke with utmost respect:
“We did not expect the Sword Fairy to be here. We have disturbed you. We will take our leave at once—please do not take offense!”
As soon as the words fell, the twelve bowed again respectfully, then turned and fled into the distance.
Their speed and expressions were as if they had encountered the most untouchable person in the world.
It made sense.
As a Path Pioneer, at this moment, in the entire Fallen Immortal Land, she was the only one in the Dao Realm.
Not to mention Profound Realm—even Divine Realm experts would have to act respectfully and not dare show the slightest disrespect.
This was prestige.
When a person was strong enough, even their reputation alone could intimidate the world.
When a person was strong enough, merely appearing was enough to command respect from all.
Strength was truth.
No matter the era, this was an indisputable fact.
When weak, upon seeing such a peerless beauty, everyone wanted to take another look.
But once she became strong, no one dared to provoke or approach her lightly.
The strong naturally possessed the dignity of the strong.
“Junior Sister! Why did you come out!”
“I wanted to test my strength!”
Ying Qianqian flashed to Li Yunqing’s side, her tone carrying a trace of helplessness.
“You’ve seen it along the way—whenever you show yourself, everyone becomes extremely respectful. Even bandits and thieves don’t dare act presumptuously in front of you.”
“I’ve just broken into the Profound Realm. I wanted to test my abilities, but I can’t find anyone!”
Hearing this, Li Yunqing paused slightly and smiled. “Alright, next time I won’t come out.”
In the past, when she had no reputation and her strength was not apparent, people would block her path everywhere.
Now, it was different—upon seeing her, everyone acted like mice seeing a cat. Even people from demonic sects did not dare act recklessly.
This was also why their journey had been so fast.
In the past, traveling five thousand li in ten days would have been good.
“Everyone rest. Tomorrow we’ll increase our speed and reach the Immortal God Forbidden Zone as soon as possible.”
Li Yunqing spoke, then led Ying Qianqian and Xiaolan back into the ruined temple.
Because this trip was to save someone and search for inheritances, their travel speed had naturally increased.
Otherwise, with Li Yunqing’s temperament, she would have preferred to travel leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the way.
“Did you see how powerful the Dragon Clan Divine Ability was just now?”
“I fought twelve opponents of the same realm alone!”
By the fire inside the temple, Ying Qianqian muttered softly.
She seemed afraid of disturbing Xiaolan, who was comprehending the Concept Fundamental Diagram nearby.
The Concept Fundamental Diagram was drawn by Li Yunqing, encompassing the Five Elements, frost, the four seasons, the growth of all things, life and death, and even the deepest Pure Yin Dao.
Even the Li family had received a copy from Li Yunqing.
The six guards by her side had also broken into the Qi Realm so quickly because of this diagram.
Toward those around her, Li Yunqing was never stingy.
Moreover, as long as others bore no malice and had even a slight connection to her, they would receive the blessings of a Path Pioneer’s fortune.
If one had to describe it, Li Yunqing at this moment was like the mother of heaven and earth’s fortune—a walking embodiment of destiny.
“It is indeed powerful. What is this divine ability called?”
Li Yunqing lowered her voice as well, naturally not wanting to disturb Xiaolan.
“Azure Dragon True Form!”
Ying Qianqian spoke, her tone solemn.
“As the Azure Dragon True Form, one of the Four Sacred Spirits of heaven and earth, it possesses unmatched power.”
“If cultivated to perfection, one can even merge with the Azure Dragon True Form and sweep across the world.”
“This is part of an Immortal Technique!”
“Immortal Technique?”
Li Yunqing was suddenly startled.
Divine abilities still belonged to the realm of humanity, while Immortal Techniques had already stepped into the domain of the immortal path.
At that moment, she thought of the Great Scarlet Heaven and Gu Yuan, who possessed an Innate Dao Bone containing an Immortal Technique.
If he were allowed to grow, that Immortal Technique alone could make him one of the supreme beings in the world.
“Correct. According to the memories awakened, Immortal Techniques have three levels!”
Ying Qianqian’s tone became unusually serious.
“True Immortal Technique, Immortal King Technique, and Immortal Emperor Technique.”
“As for the specifics, I don’t know. But it is said that Immortal King Techniques can shatter spacetime and pierce through heaven and earth.”
“As for Immortal Emperor Techniques, only their name is known—very few have ever seen them.”
“And if the Azure Dragon True Form is combined with the divine abilities of the other Three Sacred Spirits, it becomes a True Immortal Technique capable of punishing the heavens.”
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Li Yunqing’s eyes.
She possessed Nine Heavens Phoenix Dance and had obtained the Nirvana Flame. Acquiring the Phoenix Clan divine ability was only a matter of time.
If she could obtain this Azure Dragon True Form and then find a way to acquire the White Tiger and Black Tortoise divine abilities, could she not fuse them into an Immortal Technique?
“Junior Sister, aside from my parents, you treat me the best.”
“I naturally want to share this Azure Dragon True Form with you!”
Ying Qianqian seemed to recall that experience again, the image of her junior sister’s anxiety and concern when she found her resurfacing in her mind.
There were not many people in this world one could truly open their heart to, but her junior sister was clearly one of them.
Since they met, aside from that time in the imperial palace, she had never seen this gentle junior sister lose her temper with anyone.
From beginning to end, she was always gentle and serene, as if all the beauty in the world could be found in her.
Moreover, without her junior sister’s wholehearted help, she would never have awakened the true dragon bloodline of the Ying clan.
“Come closer, I’ll tell you!”
Ying Qianqian spoke and directly wrapped an arm around Li Yunqing’s waist, pulling her into her embrace.
But feeling the sensation in her arms, Ying Qianqian froze slightly.
Several strange words instantly appeared in her mind.
“So soft! So tender! So slender! So fragrant!”
