Chapter 542: Chapter 234 “Immortal Ascension Technique
In a moment of distraction, Qingqiu Hua let out a light shout, and a magnificent palace burst forth from above her head.
It was none other than the Qingqiu Palace.
Surrounded by a halo of dawn, spiritual energy flowed into the Qingqiu Palace, causing it to expand continuously, transforming into the size of a mountain peak above Lu Yi’s head, pressing down like a meteorite.
The terrifying pressure distorted the space around him, and Lu Yi felt a horrifying gravitational pull emanating from the Qingqiu Palace, attempting to suck him in.
The grand doors of the Qingqiu Palace were pitch black, resembling a black hole, devouring all things.
Lu Yi’s expression remained calm as he lightly chuckled, “The Immortal Artifact is indeed strong, but it still lacks a bit of essence.”
In his hand appeared a long sword sparkling with starlight, which was the Top-grade Spiritual Artifact, Shaking Light Sword.
Starlight emerged from the sword, and then with a casual wave from Lu Yi, endless stars twinkled in the void as if resonating with the long sword.
At that moment, the heavens and the earth lost their color, and even the radiant spirit light around both Lu Yi and Qingqiu Hua, bright as the sun, seemed dim under the brilliance of these stars.
Within millions of kilometers, the stars fell to the earth like a vast Milky Way descending, leaving all the cultivators and mortals in the Eastern Domain frozen, staring at the beautiful starlight in the sky, overwhelmed with shock.
Clang!
A clear, ringing sword chime echoed through the heavens and earth, as if a sword bloomed at the beginning of creation.
A swath of Star Sword Light slashed out, like endless roll of silk, carrying incredibly terrifying Sword Dao Laws and densely packed power, unmatched, striking upon the Qingqiu Palace.
Bang!
The Qingqiu Palace shook, and in the disbelieving eyes of Qingqiu Yunhua and Qingqiu Hua, it was actually sent flying by one sword strike!
This sword seemed like the sword of an Immortal, and the youth in white holding it stood against the wind, like an Immortal King.
The Qingqiu Palace streaked through the void like a shooting star, flying tens of thousands of kilometers away before Qingqiu Hua regained her senses.
She shouted again, and spiritual energy surged out, with a snow-white nine-tailed fox phantom emerging behind her, standing tall in the sky. Its nine tails wavered, its posture enchantingly beautiful, sending strange, mind-shaking waves across the sky in all directions.
These strange waves, like a storm, rushed across tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant. Cultivators and mortals in distant cities and villages were swept over by the strange waves, stunned on the spot as if they had seen the most beautiful lover in the world, their expressions dazed.
Qingqiu Hua swiftly pulled with her delicate hand, forcibly bringing back the Qingqiu Palace that had flown deep into the void.
The array formations in her hand transformed, and the grand doors of the Qingqiu Palace opened wide, with a dark light emerging on the door resembling a black hole opening, which seemed to absorb even the sunlight.
The surrounding void darkened, and even the floating stardust and small asteroids in the distant void were unconsciously attracted, disintegrating under the terrifying suction as they flew over.
However, even with the terrifying power akin to the arrival of a black hole, Lu Yi remained unshaken.
His physical body was too strong, the power within his small body, though not equivalent to real stars, was not far off.
However, relying solely on his physical body, Lu Yi could naturally not withstand the power of an Immortal Artifact.
Mysterious Tao Patterns flickered uncertainly around him.
It was the manifestation of the Sword Dao Law.
He took a step in the void as if he had solid ground beneath his feet, the space ripples spreading out. Lu Yi’s black hair fluttered, and numerous long swords coalesced from the surroundings, their sword cries echoing through heaven and earth.
He chuckled lightly, “Immortal Qingqiu, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew.”
With a wave of his hand, endless long swords transformed into a star river, rushing towards the Qingqiu Palace, entering through its grand doors.
Just moments later, Qingqiu Hua’s expression changed, she grunted softly, her face slightly pale, and forcibly closed the doors of the Qingqiu Palace, looking at Lu Yi in immense shock, “How can your Sword Dao Law be so powerful?”
Lu Yi chuckled lightly, “My talent in Sword Dao is fairly decent.”
Qingqiu Hua’s expression changed, “…You call this ‘fairly decent’?!”
“Immortal Qingqiu, how about admitting defeat?” Lu Yi said.
Qingqiu Hua’s beautiful face revealed a trace of reluctance, then she beamed a dazzling and beautiful smile at Lu Yi, throwing him a charm that, under the Charming Law, even Lu Yi couldn’t help feeling bewildered for a moment.
“Hehehe~ This palace still has one more technique. If, Lu Yi, you can still handle it this easily, even marrying into your Lu Family would be acceptable,” she said.
Lu Yi, with a full head of black lines, replied, “Let’s not talk about marrying in. Just bring out whatever technique you have. Today, I shall make you truly convinced.”
Qingqiu Hua huffed softly, then with a light laugh said, “After absorbing the inheritance of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, I have never used this technique…”
As she spoke, Qingqiu Hua’s expression gradually grew solemn, mysterious patterns resembling those naturally formed appeared on her lovely face, making Lu Yi feel somewhat familiar.
He looked closely and found these patterns somewhat similar to the True Dragon Tao Pattern. Was this… a natural power possessed by Immortal Beasts? The Divine Skills of an Immortal Beast?
“Nine Heavens Fox Fire,” Qingqiu Hua’s charming voice rang out.
Then, behind her, one after another, snow-white spiritual energies rose, forming a huge Immortal Fox that roared, and the phantom of the Immortal Fox gathered a cluster of pink flames in its mouth.
This flame contained extremely strange fluctuations, as if filled with endless desire, carrying unimaginable attraction.
This was not a strength based on destruction, but on mental strength.
Involves Divine Skills related to the mind?
Lu Yi’s expression also slightly changed.
The next moment, the cluster of pink flames shot out towards Lu Yi.
In Lu Yi’s eyes, mysterious patterns converged, and suddenly, several distorted mirrors appeared in space, and the pink flames entered one of the mirrors.
Afterward, Lu Yi lightly snorted, and a terrifying burst of Spiritual Energy erupted. The law of space flowed, physically altering the mirror. The pink flames burst out from the mirror, flying towards Qingqiu Hua.
This was Lu Yi’s application of the Space Law, utilizing the power of space to reflect the opponent’s attack back at them.
This made Qingqiu Hua’s expression on her face freeze.
As a Divine Skill of the Immortal Beast, the Nine Heavens Fox Fire was naturally very powerful, and with Qingqiu Hua’s current strength, it was also hard to control.
Qingqiu Hua being able to use Nine Heavens Fox Fire was already a matter of pride. After using it, her Spiritual Energy was mostly depleted, and she was already weakened. Facing the Nine Heavens Fox Fire reflected back by Lu Yi, she naturally couldn’t control it.
Qingqiu Hua’s face stiffened, and she hastily dodged.
The pink flames surged through the vacuum, brushing past Qingqiu Hua.
Qingqiu Hua let out a muffled groan, her face flushing a shade of rosy red.
Her eyes, originally both charming and pure, now shimmered as if water were rippling through them.
Qingqiu Hua gave Lu Yi a look, bit her lower lip, and turned into a streak of light, directly rushing downward as her voice also followed, “I admit defeat!”
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised as he looked at Qingqiu Hua.
She should still have the strength to fight, yet she conceded just like that?
He glanced at his task, which now showed that he had completed the task of defeating Qingqiu Hua.
Suddenly, Lu Yi also couldn’t be bothered to think too much, feeling immensely happy.
He too flew downward.
Upon arriving below, Lu Yi saw Qingqiu Hua and Wang Siqi exchange greetings, and then she hurried away with Qingqiu Yunhua, not even minding Jian Ruyu’s sneers and scoffs.
Seeing Lu Yi descend, Wang Siqi looked puzzled, “Stinky boy, did you bully Hua’er? Why did she run away so quickly?”
Wang Siqi couldn’t discern the details of the fight above; after all, her strength was too weak. She could only see that the sky was full of a starry river, with dazzling spirit light shining incessantly.
Lu Yi looked bewildered, “How would I touch her? She lost on her own, maybe she felt embarrassed and ran off?”
Jian Ruyu and the two others also looked puzzled. Though they could barely see the fighting situation, they were even more confused.
They all saw that Lu Yi had not touched Qingqiu Hua and wondered what got into her.
Upon hearing this, Wang Siqi nodded slightly, “Alright then, Hua’er is a decent girl, make sure you don’t bully her in the future.”
Lu Yi was speechless, a look of exasperation visible on his face:
The faces of Jian Ruyu and the others also darkened, their dissatisfaction towards Qingqiu Hua growing even more.
……
Qingqiu Hua and Qingqiu Yunhua left the White Cloud Sect, transforming into streaks of light as they flew towards the Northern Territory.
Qingqiu Yunhua saw Qingqiu Hua’s face flush and her eyes shimmer like spring water, looking puzzled, “Hua’er, what’s wrong?”
The two had already reached a desolate mountain range. Qingqiu Hua’s body trembled slightly, and as she opened her mouth, a delicate moan escaped.
Qingqiu Yunhua: “???”
She looked at Qingqiu Hua strangely, “…Hua’er?”
Qingqiu Hua’s face became completely flushed, and she quickly spoke, “Ancestor, I need to seclude myself for a few days.”
With those words, she headed deeper into the mountain range, took out the Qingqiu Palace, and flew inside.
Qingqiu Yunhua looked towards the Qingqiu Palace, hearing the panting coming from inside, with a peculiar expression on her face, hesitated, and did not go inside.
Inside the Qingqiu Palace, Qingqiu Hua collapsed on the ground, grinding her teeth, “Lu Yi, that bastard! The Nine Heavens Fox Fire is just too terrifying.”
She shook her head, trying to dispel the continuous images of Lu Yi that haunted her mind, sat cross-legged, and began treating the effects brought by the Nine Heavens Fox Fire.
……
Meanwhile, Lu Yi had brought his endlessly chattering mother back home and then he and Jian Ruyu’s trio returned to Ling Luo Peak.
“Hmph! That fox spirit must have been embarrassed from losing to the freakish junior brother!” Jian Ruyu said gleefully.
“What kind of magic potion did that fox spirit feed Aunt Wang? Aunt Wang seems to really like her,” Yun Xi complained indignantly.
On the way, Lu Yi naturally heard the three expressing their dissatisfaction towards Qingqiu Hua.
After returning to Ling Luo Peak, Lu Yi took the three back to the Cave Mansion, where they performed a very serious round of Dual Cultivation.
Afterward, Lu Yi went to the Cultivation Room to check the rewards for completing the task of defeating Qingqiu Hua.
The task rewards were only of three kinds, but the items awarded were top-notch.
Star Marrow goes without saying, a full 10 drops, and a Mid Grade Immortal Device, the All Things Map, which Lu Yi found was somewhat similar to the Mid Grade Immortal Device Myriad Phenomena Map he had previously obtained.
Myriad Phenomena Map encompasses all within one map, capable of absorbing opponents into the map, plunging them into myriad phenomena.
However, the All Things Map houses extremely powerful Fierce Beasts and Characters within it, enough Spiritual Energy and can summon Fierce Beasts and Characters to fight for one’s self.
Both Immortal Devices have different functions, but as they are both Mid Grade Immortal Devices, they are naturally very powerful.
What delighted Lu Yi the most was the Immortal Technique “Immortal Ascension Technique,” which turned out to be a powerful technique that amplifies combat power!
