Myriad Images of the Universe

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

"Heaven... Celestial Pivot Divine Palace..."

As Qingxu watched Minghe slowly walk in, his jaw trembled.

"You, the foremost sect in the Divine Continent, instead of slaying demons and monsters, are at the beck and call of monsters, coming to make trouble for us mere cultivators!" Qingxu hissed. "Has the Celestial Pivot Divine Palace fallen so low?"

The number one sect in the land... Qin Yi was speechless. He knew Minghe's background was impressive, but he hadn't expected it to be this impressive. And she seemed to have come from the sect's "First Palace"? He didn't know exactly what that meant, but it sounded like the most important core part or the most powerful department within the sect?

This is quite a prestigious background. No wonder Liusu's first judgment was that it "definitely comes from the Mysterious Gate Xuanmen sect" and "its learning is extremely profound." This is the "orthodox" flavor that cannot be erased even by tens of thousands of years of difference. Perhaps it is the inheritance from one of Liusu's acquaintances.

Minghe said calmly, "At this point, why bother with the act? There must be Ancient Corpse here. You've been covering it up because you're afraid that disturbing Ancient Corpse might attract the attention of the righteous sects. Unfortunately, a demon has been constantly opposing you, using the Wang Family's influence to spread clues far beyond the county, which eventually led to my arrival. That's all there is to it. Where is the Ancient Corpse hiding? Just tell us."

"That Ancient Corpse is completely immobile!" Qingxu trembled with anger. "It is a true corpse without consciousness. My Refining Corpses technique has not yet reached the level of refining and controlling a Soaring Cloud Realm cultivator as a Corpse Puppet. It is still in the process of refining."

Minghe asked, "Then where did you get your Refining Corpses technique?"

"I gained enlightenment from the imagery of the Ancient Corpse," Qingxu said. "Even the characters on the mountainside, I gleaned some insights from them. This is my own understanding."

Liusu complained, "One of the three great illusions of cultivating immortality is that I have high comprehension and if given resources, I will become an immortal emperor."

Qin Yi: "..."

Minghe remained silent for a moment, then her expression softened with pity. "You have indeed become someone else's Corpse Puppet, yet you are unaware of it."

Qingxu was furious. "Nonsense! This humble Daoist has always been of sound mind. All my cultivation was done by myself. How could I possibly be someone else's Corpse Puppet!"

"The moment you 'comprehended' the art of Refining Corpses, you were already dead. Your lingering soul was restrained and molded into the form she desired. Your refining of the Ancient Corpse, hoping to one day command it, was all done for her sake." Minghe's expression was solemn as she slowly said, "All things belong to me, and the myriad phenomena are my accomplices. Has someone from the Myriad Phenomena and Myriad Phenomena Asura Sect entered the mortal world...?"

The demonic path! This concept popped into Qin Yi's mind.

Indeed, where there is the Immortal Dao immortals, there is also the path of demons. Not all cultivators are Immortal Qi and otherworldly. In fact, we should have understood this from what Minghe and the Old Daoist Nun said earlier.

As Minghe uttered the words "Myriad Images of the Universe," Qingxu's eyes began to freeze, his entire eyeballs slowly turned gray, and his skin began to stiffen, gradually turning iron-colored. On his iron-colored skin, hair that looked like mold began to grow.

"A Qin Xin-level peak Iron Corpse is not easy to deal with. You should retreat a bit." Minghe stared at Qingxu and said to Qin Yi without turning her head, "Don't go too far either. Although the owner of this corpse may not be here, it's still better to be careful."

Qin Yi took a few steps back, listening to Liusu's explanation. "This is the original form of the Corpse Puppet. After Minghe exposed it, its soul dissipated, and its Technique Method abilities disappeared. In its place are immense strength and a body like steel, and it is also highly resistant to Technique Method. If Minghe were still a cultivator of the same level as him, he probably wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Now that his realm is overwhelming, it's not difficult."

He paused, then added with some admiration, "This Qingxu didn't initially hide the fact that he was a Refining Corpses. The corpse he revealed after being defeated was also quite ordinary, and even he himself believed it. He actually managed to fool me. I didn't know he had hidden a trick up his sleeve. This newly developed method is quite interesting..."

Qin Yi nodded. Not only were the new methods interesting, but the scheming and manipulation of people's hearts were also fascinating. Qingxu appeared to be alive, but was actually Refining Corpses. Once people realized this, they thought they had found the truth, never considering that it concealed a deeper truth. Even Qingxu himself was unaware, and the deception was so seamless that even Liusu was fooled.

Of course, once Qinghe Daoren's precedent was set, Liusu and Qinyi both guessed this possibility. Minghe seemed to understand her opponent better, which made her even more able to see through it immediately.

"Whoosh!" The battle had already begun. The Qingxu Iron Corpse, with a speed far exceeding Qin Yi's expectations, thrust its palm towards Minghe's neck. This palm strike actually sparked sparks from the intense friction of the air. This was not something that could be achieved through mere physics, but rather the result of the rapid collision between the corpse's energy and the Spiritual Qi in the air.

Qin Yi was taken aback. "Aren't zombies supposed to be very slow?"

Liusu said, "Who told you that? Besides, this is an Iron Corpse with cultivation, not an ordinary zombie."

Qin Yi was speechless.

Minghe's figure turned into an afterimage, the Iron Corpse missed its target, and its palm sliced into the stone house wall as easily as cutting tofu.

Minghe's true form had already reached another corner of the stone house. A long sword was in her hand, pointed diagonally at the ground.

The interior of the stone house quickly turned into frost, with countless ice crystals moving through the room and surrounding the Iron Corpse.

"The Art of Formless Transformation, the Ice Hell Cold Mist Technique." Liusu's voice became increasingly intrigued. "The casting method and Method Formula have been subtly improved, yet the effect has not been weakened. Very good, very good."

Qin Yi wanted to complain: Am I the one watching the show, or are you watching the show?

However, laymen only see the spectacle, while experts see the details. Liusu, observing the Battle of Minghe, can certainly see more value. Perhaps just by watching, Liusu can learn from it, summarize it, and improve his own methods.

For Qin Yi himself, the only thing he could understand was that Minghe was a mage.

Although she had a sword, she didn't know any Swordsmanship. Her sword-wielding movements were more like dancing than martial arts. When she held the sword, it was clearly just a medium for casting spells, but when she unleashed it, it became a powerful magic Law Treasure.

Even when used as an attack Law Treasure, it wasn't a "flying sword" in the conventional sense, but rather a strange dazzling light that seemed to have a strong restraining effect on demons or such corpse demons. The sword light lightly grazed the Iron Corpse's arm, and the Iron Corpse roared in pain. Its body, which normally had no blood, actually gushed out bluish-black pus and blood, which was the corpse poison in its body being affected by the sword light and causing it to ulcerate.

Qin Yi sniffed and looked resentfully at the stick in his hand.

It can neither provide the effect of condensing and amplifying the Law Power within the body, nor can it be used to attract external divine lightning and heavenly fire, nor can it be unleashed to unleash any wondrous and harmful divine power... In hand, it's just a pure weapon; if thrown, the Liusu control its spinning motion, and that's all...

They cultivate immortality, and so do I... but why do I feel like a barbarian...?

Liusu said slowly, "Don't look at me like that. I know what you're thinking... The truth is, this Wolf Tooth Club is too high-level. Apart from using the material, you can't achieve any other effects."

"At least develop a little bit first."

"Hmm... the spikes can suddenly burst open, how effective is that?"

Qin Yi's anus tightened as he thought of some terrifying scenarios.

With a clear shout, Minghe's longsword pierced the heart of the Iron Corpse. A chilling sensation spread along the wound, and the entire Iron Corpse's body was almost frozen solid.

"Did it work?" Qin Yi scratched his head. Although he came to watch Minghe crush the boss, seeing the boss defeated so easily left him feeling empty inside, like something was off...

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Minghe's expression change slightly. "Who awakened the Ancient Corpse!"

"Rumble..." A slight tremor came from underground, and the desolate and deathly atmosphere instantly dissipated.

"..." Qin Yi wanted to slap himself! Wouldn't it have been better if things had gone smoothly? Why did he have to cause such a ruckus?!
