Chapter 168 : Arrival at the Immortal God Forbidden Zone
Chapter 168: Arrival at the Immortal God Forbidden Zone
“No wonder those men secretly look at Junior Sister!”
At this moment, Ying Qianqian seemed to completely understand the reason.
With such a gentle temperament and such a seductive figure, any man would want to take a few more glances, right?
Ying Qianqian’s gaze subconsciously fell upon Li Yunqing’s chest, that full, mountain-like curve—surely even softer and more tender.
With such a figure and such a face, let alone those men—
even she, as a woman, after spending time together, would feel endless delight arise in her heart.
“The physique of a true dragon is one of the most powerful physiques in the world!”
“The Azure Dragon governs life, the White Tiger governs death, the Phoenix governs fire, the Black Tortoise governs water. The Four Sacred Spirits of heaven and earth each possess their own mysteries, restraining and generating one another…”
Ying Qianqian held Li Yunqing tightly, whispering into her ear, explaining the essence of the Azure Dragon True Form bit by bit.
“A bit ticklish!”
Feeling the chin resting on her shoulder and the warm breath by her ear, Li Yunqing blinked.
It felt as if a gentle breeze brushed past her ear, bringing a subtle, unusual sensation.
Especially that pointed chin lightly brushing against her shoulder—this intimate action had always felt somewhat strange to her since childhood.
Normally, a hand resting on her shoulder would not bring much sensation.
But when it was a chin, even lightly placed, it always brought a faint sense of peculiarity.
“Azure Dragon True Form (Uninitiated 0/500)”
Only when a line of text flashed before her eyes did Li Yunqing finally relax, loosening her slightly tense body as she said, “Alright, I’ve remembered it.”
“Ah? You already remembered it?”
Ying Qianqian was stunned, somewhat reluctant as she released Li Yunqing’s waist.
Too fast. She had only explained it once, yet Li Yunqing had already memorized it.
If not for her bloodline awakening and fragments of memory surfacing from it, even she herself might not have been able to remember so much.
“Of course! I wouldn’t deceive myself!”
Li Yunqing smiled slightly, her gaze falling onto the panel.

Over the past half month, even without deliberately cultivating the Yang Spirit or comprehending anything,
with the Pure Yin Dao Body, her understanding of Pure Yin Force and the nurturing of her Yang Spirit had steadily improved.
However, improving techniques required time to polish.
And as the level of techniques grew higher, the time required would likely increase as well.
“Perhaps one day, I’ll enter seclusion for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years!”
Li Yunqing felt a hint of realization, yet also a trace of melancholy.
As strength increased, time became less and less valuable.
If one day she emerged from seclusion to find the world utterly changed and everyone she knew gone, she didn’t know what she would become.
Fortunately, she had not yet experienced such things and instinctively resisted them, so she could not truly understand that feeling.
“At the Dao Realm, one can live for a thousand years. As strength reaches the peak of the human path, lifespan may reach ten thousand years!”
“If one becomes an immortal, perhaps one could live even longer!”
“With endless life, if one truly wishes to preserve what is precious, even defying the heavens, one would create a path to longevity and find the road to immortality!”
“No need to think so far ahead—the most important thing is to become stronger!”
With that thought, Li Yunqing’s clear mind returned to calm.
All distracting thoughts silently dissolved.
In the world of cultivation, anything was possible.
Only those who did not truly care, or who resigned themselves to fate, would do nothing and watch as those they cherished passed away one by one.
In the end, they would carry all the loneliness upon their own shoulders, yet claim they were powerless.
How could Li Yunqing ever become such a person?
The world never makes way for the timid—it reshuffles itself for the brave.
“Rest. We still need to travel tomorrow. We should reach the Immortal God Forbidden Zone early!”
Li Yunqing spoke, leaning against the stone inside the ruined temple, closing her eyes to rest.
When she had used Dao Fortune, she had seen the Sword God, Sword Saint, and others—their situation was not dire; they were merely trapped.
She was not in a hurry, only worried that Ying Qianqian might be.
“The Dao Scripture needs to be cultivated seriously. What if I also have a Dao Bone?”
“Then I wouldn’t need to envy those Immortal Techniques—I could nurture one myself.”
“And divine abilities must be cultivated—they are the foundation of my combat power.”
“As for the Yang Spirit and Pure Yin Force, they can be nourished naturally by the Pure Yin Dao Body.”
For a moment, countless thoughts passed through Li Yunqing’s mind.
The Dao Scripture within her body began circulating rapidly.
A moonlight-like glow surrounded her, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged toward her.
After circulating once within her inner world, it transformed directly into Dao Power, flowing into her body and nourishing her Yang Spirit and physique.
Then the Dao Power began to slowly refine the Azure Dragon True Form.
“Dao Scripture experience +3.”
“Azure Dragon True Form experience +5.”
At this moment, Li Yunqing appeared like an immortal maiden enveloped in hazy celestial light.
“Junior Sister is so beautiful!”
Seeing this, Ying Qianqian subconsciously sighed in admiration.
Her mind once again recalled the feeling of holding her junior sister, leaving her inexplicably lingering in that sensation.
“If only I could hold her often…”
Ying Qianqian could not help but long for it, but then blinked in confusion.
Why would she have such thoughts?
In the past, hadn’t she worked hard to change her figure to attract men?
For a moment, Ying Qianqian also fell into silence.
The next day, the sky cleared.
The sun blazed overhead, casting multicolored light across the world.
The vast moon in the sky was now only a faint outline.
Perhaps in a few days, this moon that had appeared because of the Path Pioneer would vanish completely.
However, anyone who had carefully observed and comprehended during this time should have gained some understanding of the Dao Realm.
As time passed, Dao Realm experts would likely begin to appear.
“We’ve finally arrived!”
Looking out through the carriage window, Ying Qianqian could not help but speak, a trace of urgency flashing in her eyes.
Following the official road, the carriage had taken another ten days to travel a thousand li beyond Huozhou, arriving before the Immortal God Forbidden Zone.
Compared to traveling by force day and night, the carriage was far too slow.
“What towering divine mountains!”
Looking at the scene outside, Li Yunqing could not help but exclaim.
As far as the eye could see, divine mountains rose one after another, endless and undulating, like terrifying beasts lying in wait, stretching beyond sight.
Almost every peak pierced into the clouds, as if leading directly to the Heavenly Court.
Yet seeing this, Li Yunqing once again thought of the Great Scarlet Heaven.
Compared to those divine mountains, the so-called Transverse Immortal Mountains before her were far inferior.
“When heaven and earth are strong, all things and all beings become strong.”
“So those so-called Nine Heavens must each be stronger than the last.”
“For such powerful realms to still fear the Ascension Battle, there must be extraordinary worlds and extraordinary figures among the Ten Lands.”
For a moment, countless thoughts surged through Li Yunqing’s mind.
She even had a vague feeling—perhaps the strongest among the Ten Lands had plundered the others and already reached a peak comparable to the Nine Heavens?
“Why do the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands wage war endlessly?”
“Is it only for strength?”
This thought rooted itself firmly in Li Yunqing’s mind.
Yet she could not understand it at all.
“Over there, there’s a small path that leads into the Immortal God Forbidden Zone—it’s relatively safe!”
Having been here once before, Ying Qianqian quickly pointed toward a human-shaped mountain.
“This path was opened by martial artists of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty.”
“There should be markings along the way. Don’t step outside those marks, or something bad might happen.”
“And…”
At this point, Ying Qianqian turned to look at Li Yunqing.
“We’d better get off the carriage so we can respond to any danger at any time.”
