Chapter 1150: Profound Method (II)
Having suffered two setbacks, Li Ximing quickly adapted. Changxiao’s mind was deep and calculating. He was once a cultivator who, like Tulong Jian, had fought his way through the ranks of countless Purple Mansion Realm cultivators. How could such a man willingly serve as another’s whetstone?
A chill ran down his spine, and thunder cracked beside his ear. Amid the din, he faintly heard the chant of a spell, “Mulberry Concord Ninefold Profound Method.”
A streak of deep black light burst from the great void, moving with astonishing speed. Li Ximing refused to flee aimlessly. He summoned his escape light as well and darted away, knowing he could not hide within the great void again. Gritting his teeth, he flew straight ahead, but the black radiance was gaining on him with every breath.
If I hadn’t taken those heavy losses earlier, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable state now!
The pursuit had spanned some time, but the torrential rain still showed no sign of easing. Silver lights intertwined ahead, and three silver bottles shot through the air. It was the Treasure Bottle Merging Profound Method again. He had already suffered from it once, so Li Ximing wasted no time searching for its caster. He activated Stable Earth Spirit Containment, summoning a bright white heavenly gate engraved with complex patterns that rose amid the storm, suppressing all dharmas beneath its power.
He struck with full force, yet he only barely held down the three silver bottles. But his pupils were immediately filled with a sea of blazing True Fire. The twelve-cornered lantern had pierced through the great void once again. Li Ximing made his decision in an instant, Stable Earth Spirit Containment cannot block True Fire!
He had no choice but to summon Heavenly Radiance, Hidden Light, and the Bright Yang purple flame to suppress the opponent’s spirit artifact. At that moment, the pitch-black Mulberry Concord Ninefold Profound Method struck his body, erupting in a burst of blinding light.
In the next instant, his body vanished from the mortal world and slipped back into the great void.
Changxiao, however, smiled faintly, The deed is done.
Both the Mulberry Concord Ninefold Profound Method and the Treasure Bottle Merging Profound Method belonged to his Douxuan Dao lineage. The former was even older; it was neither dharma light nor spirit light, but derived from certain immortal arts. It emphasized three stages: within sight, within hearing, and within descent.
