Before the Life-or-Death Battle

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

Qin Yi longed to see Minghe. After being separated for more than half a year, how could he not miss her? He was also worried that Minghe might be quite upset about losing her Law Treasure. He was willing to give up exchanging something useful for himself with Meng Qingying in order to get back Minghe's Law Treasure and return it to her.

In another setting, he might jump for joy, but in this setting, emmmm...

Qin Yi couldn't even imagine what his expression would be when he saw Minghe in front of his Senior Sister, or what he would say to be more appropriate.

What kind of life-or-death battle is this? That's nothing! The Asura Field is the real hell on earth...

Liusu was already rolling around laughing inside the stick, "The price of Peach Blossom Man, let's see how you die."

Are you happy that I'm dead? Qin Yi didn't dare to answer. Liusu's divine sense was recovering and becoming stronger. She could transmit her thoughts in front of her Senior Sister without being detected. He, Qin Yi, couldn't do that.

Feeling utterly frustrated, Qin Yi turned away, intending to retreat to his residence and isolate himself. Just as he turned, Ju Yunxiu called out to him, "Where are you going?"

"Ah, oh, back to the manor to cultivate."

"You've been practicing Zither and Painting with me these past two days, why did you go back?"

Qin Yi wiped away his cold sweat, realizing why his Senior Sister had called him over.

Because Senior Sister has always enjoyed spending time with him playing music and painting, the people in the Immortal Palace have been furious these past two days at seeing their carefree and arrogant behavior. But Senior Sister is actually quite happy about it. What she wants is actually very simple; that's all she wants.

Ju Yunxiu bit her lower lip. "It can't be because I haven't let you touch me these past two days, can it?"

"No, no," Qin Yi said, "I just remembered that there are still Law Treasure that I seized from the Great Joy Temple that need to be refined."

Ju Yunxiu pondered and said, "I have looked at your Demon Slaying Sword. You can only use that sword once now, which means you won't lose strength after using it. The string of Buddhist beads that were seized from the Great Joy Temple is also a Huiyang item. Your cultivation cannot use both of these items at the same time. You should consider using Law Treasure can be used normally."

Qin Yi said, "There's a bowl..."

"That's not suitable for you, and it's not appropriate for you to use that to provoke your opponent in this battle. That would only draw the hatred that the opponent is focusing on Zheng Yunyi back to you."

"Hmm, that makes sense... Senior Sister's become a bit bad too..."

"Didn't I learn it from you?" Ju Yunxiu's face flushed slightly. "Where's your Yunxiu Flute?"

"Uh, the flute is made of a spellcasting medium, not a direct offensive material."

"It can be refined and modified again," Ju Yunxiu said. "With Yunxiu in hand, don't just talk about bragging; she can actually fight."

Qin Yi was rendered speechless by the double entendre.

I always felt that Minghe came, I would get beaten up.

Ju Yunxiu thought that this little lecher was unusually serious today, not taking advantage of the situation. Not bad, not bad.

So he said, "The medium for casting spells is just a basic use of Law Treasure. Further refining it allows it to release its own inherent power. Who said it attacks using materials? Have you been swinging a stick for too long and turned yourself into a club, or have you been looking at too many alms bowls at the Great Joy Temple?"

Qin Yi scratched his head. He was indeed preoccupied with something today, which made his mind not quite sharp, so he could only obediently accept the scolding.

Ju Yunxiu said, "The flute has twelve holes, corresponding to the number of the twelve Earthly Branches; there is one blow hole, six finger holes, and seven main holes, corresponding to the number of the Big Dipper. If I were to refine it, each time Law Power is input into a hole, a special Technique Method would erupt, and activating a certain number would also create a combination skill. Only with such rich variations can it be a qualified Natal Magic Treasure. Now you can develop the first one."

Even Liusu couldn't help but say, "Your Senior Sister is indeed a discerning Huiyang expert. It's a pity that her mind isn't on combat. She spends all her time playing the zither, Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, so her practical combat experience is probably quite limited. She's often the kind of person who gets defeated by those of higher levels, which is a bit of a waste of her skills."

Everyone has their own ambitions, so what's the point of wasting time... Qin Yi actually thinks that his Senior Sister is the true cultivator, while those who only think about beating people up are not quite right. Of course, he couldn't argue with Liusu about this, and he quickly thought of the first direction that the flute could be developed in.

Sound-based attack skills, whether they're meant to inspire, bewitch, or damage, are impractical in actual combat because there's no time to play them. They're only good for bullying weaker opponents and showing off. As a result, he's used the Yunxiu Flute less and less in real battles, and hasn't used it at all in recent engagements.

If different Law Power could be input into the sound holes and the corresponding music would automatically play, that would be a practical development for a Law Treasure.

He bowed respectfully to Ju Yunxiu and said, "I humbly accept your instruction."

Ju Yunxiu looked at him with a half-smile. She knew that this guy rarely treated her as a master, but rather as a fellow Daoist, or more accurately, as a woman.

But when he gets serious, he's quite adorable. Actually, he respects himself a lot; if you tell him not to go any further, he'll obediently never overstep his bounds.

I just don't know which he respects more, the unknown master he keeps in his heart or the other.

Ju Yunxiu rested her chin on her hand and said, "So you're not going back to your cave abode. You need to develop your sonic attack abilities. Can you manage without me?"

Qin Yi: "..."

So, in the eyes of the others in the Immortal Palace, this hopeless Qin Yi not only didn't go back to cultivate, but instead stayed in the Land of tenderness of Qinqi Peak and wouldn't leave. They were always inseparable, playing their flutes, and often hid in their rooms together for the whole night, doing who-knows-what.

To put it nicely, they are a perfect Dual Cultivation and Dwelling Together, living happily ever after; to put it bluntly, they are like two salted fish.

Oh no, three. There's also Qing Cha who sits there all day, happily watching them feed each other dog food, and I don't know why she never gets tired of it.

"It's hopeless."

"Just wait to die."

"Let's still hope Zheng Yunyi can turn the tide; we can't rely on them anymore."

Time flies, and the month is almost over.

The arena for the martial arts competition was not in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, but in an independent secret realm opened up by the arbitrator, Tian Shu Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, located on the East Sea coast, on a floating Cloud Platform that appears as a small dot from the ground.

The four sect leaders of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and thousands of flying disciples ascended the Cloud Platform. Once there, they discovered that the area was vast, and not only that, but many people had already arrived.

The battle between the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Great Joy Temple, though not at the level of a major sect war, was still a rare major conflict in the past hundred years. Many sects and Rogue Cultivator who heard the news came to watch the spectacle, and tens of thousands of people were scattered around the Cloud Platform, which stretched for dozens of miles.

Before even getting close, Qin Yi saw a large group of figures in the distance, and only then did he realize that there were so many people cultivating immortality in this world, and they all seemed to have too much free time.

No wonder everyone thinks it will greatly damage their reputation; this is happening in full view of everyone, and it's likely known throughout the entire Divine Land and Immortal Realm...

A loss is a loss. No one cares how many levels you are at compared to your opponent. That's something you two agreed on yourselves. Outsiders only care about the result.

Similarly, under such public scrutiny, the outcome is essentially predetermined. Regardless of any past grudges, this battle is the end. If Zheng Yunyi and Qin Yi are killed, and the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace retaliates in this way, it will seem like they are sore losers; if the people of the Great Joy Temple are killed in retaliation, and they still want to continue retaliating, it will seem like they are being unreasonable and petty. They have already put their disciples in danger to fight against your high-level Battle Monk, what more do you want?

Of course, the disdain and ridicule from others might not be a big deal, which is where arbitration comes in. If someone doesn't follow the rules, the arbitration body will help the other party beat them up. You should consider whether you can handle that.

Only sects with sufficient prestige and confidence can act as such arbitrators.

For example, there's the Heavenly Celestial Pivot Divine Palace, which claims to be the leader of the Righteous Path and the number one sect in the Divine Continent. They have three Qian Yuan cultivators on the surface, and we don't even know how strong their sect leader is. This family's size is enough to rival the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace and the Great Joy Temple.

When Minghe, who was just beginning to play the Qin Heart, stood in front of the illustrious Old Ancestor Mangshan, even the ruthless Old Ancestor Mangshan had to show a friendly smile. This was the power of the name Celestial Pivot Divine Palace.

Therefore, when Qin Yi and the crane were talking, everyone assumed that the four words were. "Their social status is too high."

While Celestial Pivot Divine Palace harbored extreme aversion towards Great Joy Temple, it didn't necessarily hold the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace in high regard for some of its unorthodox practices. Its stance might slightly lean towards Wan Dao Xian Gong, but not excessively so. Great Joy Temple knew it would be difficult to find a more suitable neutral party, so it had no choice but to accept this situation reluctantly.

But they never expected that such a beauty would arrive.

Of the tens of thousands of cultivators here, nearly half are women. Even without deliberately altering their appearance, cultivators naturally possess snow-white skin and slender figures, coupled with an ethereal, otherworldly aura; it can be said that none of them are ugly. Even the most ordinary one, placed in the mortal realm, would likely be called a Fairy, and the most outstanding among them might even be hailed as a beauty capable of captivating a nation.

Yet, the thousands of Fairy here were completely overshadowed by a single Daoist Nun.

That was a gift bestowed by the heavens and earth, a peerless beauty.
