New Sight-Roaming Slot
Lu Baizhong was called the number one in the Seventh Floor by Crown Prince Ying Chi based solely on his Killing Power.
This is no exaggeration; it is a conclusion drawn from countless life-or-death battles!
At this moment, Lu Baizhong retreated immediately after his attack, leaping onto the rocky cliff under the starlight, his body crackling with lightning, the silver-white longsword in his hand!
As the pale golden lightning pulsed on the sword, the Thunder Qi within its body surged and circulated!
His eyes no longer had pupils; instead, there were two pure, burning golden bolts of lightning, like two thunder stars embedded in their eye sockets.
Opposite him, Chen Lingxi used Cloud-Riding Technique to steadily lift him into the air, his robes fluttering in the night wind.
With just one strike, Lu Baizhong had already gauged Chen Lingxi's strength, and his eyes grew even more excited!
"Among the Qi Circulation Seventh Floor, apart from Lin Suri, I have never seen a person as powerful as you."
Lu Baizhong finally spoke, his voice booming like thunder.
And amidst the thunder, the longsword rose once more!
The sword's momentum had barely begun when thunderous sound preceded it!
The thunderous sound was so powerful that even ordinary cultivators would experience a surge of Qi and Blood and a disorder of spiritual energy, unable to unleash six or seven tenths of their cultivation power.
Chen Lingxi merely narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Oh!"
The Dragon Roar Technique silently circulated in his throat, crashing down into the overwhelming thunder!
The moment the dragon's roar and the thunderous sound collided, both vanished!
At the same time, Chen Lingxi advanced instead of retreating!
The ordinary iron sword in his hand was adorned with three interwoven colors, transforming into a magnificent, ever-shifting blade aura.
Swords clashed.
With a deafening roar, the two retreated once more!
The two then engaged in a fierce battle in the mountains and wilderness.
Once Lu Baizhong unleashed his terrifying sword light, it was like a violent storm, dense and impenetrable.
He leaped into the air, his longsword thrusting straight forward!
This sword strike was incredibly fast. Lightning condensed at the tip of the sword, and all its power was compressed to the extreme. With a single thrust, lightning flashed!
A cold glint flashed in Chen Lingxi's eyes, but she neither dodged nor avoided the attack.
He grabbed at the Void with his left hand, forcefully activating the Heaven-Seizing Seal technique.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred feet was drawn in by this grasp, condensing into a nearly tangible spiritual energy handprint in his palm.
He struck out with his palm, colliding violently with Lu Baizhong's third sword thrust.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate for less than half a breath before the Heaven-Seizing Seal was pierced by the lightning!
Lu Baizhong's sword strike was abruptly halted by this palm strike!
Chen Lingxi was waiting for this delay.
He lunged forward, his Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi surging forth!
The ordinary iron sword in his hand was raised diagonally from bottom to top, and the three-colored light on the blade shone brightest at that moment.
This strike was devoid of any fancy moves, merely a simple upward slash. Yet, its speed was so great that even Lu Baizhong only saw a three-colored afterimage flash before his eyes.
In his haste, he parried with his sword, and as he channeled his spiritual energy, he created a protective barrier!
Clang!
Lu Baizhong felt an indescribable, terrifying force pouring down from the sword!
He groaned, his body sent flying backward by the slash, his feet carving deep furrows in the ground. He retreated several dozen feet before finally regaining his footing.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Lingxi, a genuine sense of seriousness flashing across his eyes, which were burning with golden lightning, for the first time.
He took a deep breath, and lightning erupted around him once more.
The blazing white lightning enveloped him like a thin veil woven from lightning, seemingly fragile, yet every inch of it contained terrifying power capable of destroying cities and fortresses!
[Thunder Garment]!
One of Lu Baizhong's strengths!
Thunder Garment and Lu Baizhong had already disappeared from the spot!
The speed was so fast that Chen Lingxi's Divine Sense could only catch a blurry white afterimage.
In the next instant, Lu Baizhong appeared three zhang behind Chen Lingxi, raising his long sword high, the blazing white lightning on the sword completely concealed at this moment!
[Extinction Swordlight!]
This sword strike was one of Lu Baizhong's trump cards.
As the sword's momentum began, the world fell silent.
Where the sword's edge passed, a visible crack was torn in the air!
Chen Lingxi's pupils constricted slightly.
He reacted almost the instant Lu Baizhong disappeared.
He simply pushed the Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi throughout his body to its limit, activating the seventh move of the Seven Forms of Ceasing War: War-Stilling Form.
Those who War-Stilling Form by using killing to stop killing, and violence to control violence!
His Qi and Blood were concentrated, and with the frantic stimulation of the Sword-Edge Qi Azure Edge Method, Purple True Treasure Aura, and Sword Edge Qi, terrifying spiritual qi also erupted violently.
Everything is concentrated in the long sword in my hand!
He swung his sword backward with a backhand strike!
The blade of the iron sword could not withstand this terrifying force and began to shatter inch by inch halfway through its strike.
However, the shattered fragments of the blade did not scatter and fly everywhere. Instead, they were enveloped by Chen Lingxi's spiritual energy and Qi and Blood, transforming into dozens of even finer blade beams, which, along with the remaining sharpness of the blade, crashed into Lu Baizhong's Annihilation Sword.
Rumble!
Swords clashed once more, a terrifying scene unfolding, with dust billowing everywhere!
The smoke and dust cleared.
Chen Lingxi stood at the edge of a giant pit more than ten feet deep. The ordinary iron sword in his hand was now reduced to a hilt less than three inches long, the blade completely shattered and scattered at the bottom of the pit.
His right sleeve had long since turned to ashes, and his exposed forearm was covered with scorch marks from the lightning. His thumb and forefinger were split open, and blood dripped from his fingers onto the gravel at his feet.
Lu Baizhong stood at the other end of the giant pit, his Thunder Garment now much dimmer.
His right hand, which was gripping the sword, was trembling slightly, and there was a very faint trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Baizhong is injured.
But he stood there, and instead of showing any sign of dejection, his eyes, which were burning with lightning, burned even more intensely!
But Lu Baizhong stepped forward and slashed down with his sword!
Before the sword even arrived, the earth-shattering pressure had already caused the ground beneath Chen Lingxi to crack inch by inch.
At this moment, Chen Lingxi the full power of the Spirit Pool within his Qi Sea, utilizing Mysterious Qi, Sword-Edge Qi, Purple True Treasure Aura, and Azure Edge Method.
Four distinct forces circulated wildly within his body, and his Nine-Revolutions Blood Qi erupted without reservation. Facing the world-destroying sword light, he took a step forward!
He raised his right hand and clenched his fist in Void.
Heaven-Seizing Seal.
This time, the Heaven-Seizing Seal is completely different from the one before.
He no longer merely captured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a hundred feet radius, but pushed the Heaven-Seizing Seal technique to its current limit.
All the spiritual energy in the Qi Sea, all the Qi and Blood in the body, and all the Divine Sense power in the Consciousness Sea were all gathered into this palm.
A gigantic handprint, ten zhang in diameter, appeared out of thin air. Four-colored light swirled between the five fingers of the handprint, and a vortex of spiritual energy, condensed to its extreme, spun wildly in the palm. With each rotation, the vortex devoured more spiritual energy from the surrounding world.
The Heaven-Seizing Seal, carrying a terrifying power to suppress everything, crashed headlong into the blazing white sword shadow!
Boom!
The instant the sword shadow collided with the hand seal, Chen Lingxi felt an extremely hot sword intent pierce through the layers of spiritual energy of the Heaven-Seizing Seal, stabbing straight towards his brow.
Chen Lingxi a low shout!
The Dragon's Roar Technique was activated once more, its Divine Sense trembling and transforming into a stream of energy that shot straight toward the sword light!
The Dragon Roar Technique is blocking the way!
As the last trace of sword intent dissipated in Chen Lingxi's Consciousness Sea!
The real-world clashes also yielded a winner and a loser.
The Heaven-Seizing Great Hand Seal and the sword light exploded simultaneously in mid-air, like two blazing suns perishing together.
When the smoke and dust cleared, Lu Baizhong stood amidst a pile of rubble.
The lightning on the sword was completely extinguished, and the once ever-flowing lightning patterns were now dull and lifeless, like dead blood vessels.
His robes were torn in half by the blast wave, revealing several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his chest.
He looked up and gazed at the other side.
Chen Lingxi also stood among the rubble. The jade-like luster around him had dimmed considerably, and there was a wound on his chest and abdomen, cut open by the sword light.
But Chen Lingxi remained standing, with a rich flow of spiritual energy emanating from her body!
In a head-on clash, without revealing much of his hidden strength, Chen Lingxi defeated Lu Baizhong!
The outcome is decided.
Lu Baizhong suddenly chuckled, sat down cross-legged, placed the long sword in his hand across his lap, raised his head, looked at Chen Lingxi, and asked, "You... what exactly is your background?"
Chen Lingxi remained silent.
Lu Baizhong waited for a moment, and seeing that he did not answer, he did not press the matter further.
He lowered his head, his fingers slowly tracing the blade of the longsword resting on his lap.
The movements were gentle and meticulous, and there was even a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
Then, he suddenly raised his head, and his Divine Sense surged between his brows, transforming into an extremely fine and subtle golden thread that shot towards Chen Lingxi's brow.
Chen Lingxi thought it was some kind of Divine Sense attack technique, and subconsciously tried to activate her Divine Sense defense.
But when their Divine Sense collided, Chen Lingxi's expression suddenly froze!
"Um?"
He immediately withdrew his Divine Sense, allowing the golden thread to enter his brow.
Then, a sword scripture appeared in his Consciousness Sea.
[Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon]!
Chen Lingxi reviewed this information in her Consciousness Sea, then looked up at Lu Baizhong, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
This Lu Baizhong actually passed on to him an extremely extraordinary sword manual!
Lu Baizhong simply shook his head, his tone indifferent. "This Thunderlight Sword was originally forged from ordinary iron, but I nurtured it with lightning, so it is destined to be with me."
Without the tempering of thunder, this sword will soon become nothing more than ordinary iron... Come with me...
He paused, then gently pushed the longsword in his hand toward Chen Lingxi. The Thunderlight Sword flew out of his hand and hovered steadily in front of Chen Lingxi, tip down and hilt up, as if bowing to its new master.
Above it flowed a stream of Thunder Qi, which was Chen Lingxi's target.
"Chen Lingxi, now that this sword has fallen into your hands, you must nurture it with the Sword Manual."
Chen Lingxi reached out and grasped the hilt of the Thunderlight Sword.
The hilt felt slightly heavy and cool to the touch. The dim lightning patterns on the blade briefly lit up when his fingertips touched it, then fell silent again, as if silently accepting its new master.
When Lu Baizhong saw him accept the sword, a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
"To be able to surpass me in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven, and even to be like me, disdaining to use any treasures... you are indeed extraordinary."
He said softly, "Perhaps we will meet again in the wider world someday."
After saying this, he sat cross-legged, placed his hands on his knees, and closed his eyes.
A bolt of lightning flashed between his brows!
Then, at that moment, his breath ceased completely.
Chen Lingxi stood still, holding the Thunderlight Sword in her hand, looking down at Lu Baizhong's cross-legged corpse, remaining silent for a long time.
"This person is indeed extraordinary, extremely pure, and doesn't even have Hongdong Bag on him, only a precious sword, but..."
Chen Lingxi frowned.
Lu Baizhong just said, "Perhaps we can meet again at the Great World?"
But Lu Baizhong is already dead, dead in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven. How can they meet again in the Great World?
Could it be that a cultivator who Truth-Seeking Realm dies in this Cave Heaven, only to be reborn in the greater world?
Chen Lingxi thought of this, but in the blink of an eye, she overturned this conjecture.
"If that's the case, those Truth-Seeking Realm who died by my hand wouldn't be so afraid of death," he muttered to himself.
The terror that Xi Mu, Luo Ran, and Xu Qingru before their deaths was still vivid in my mind.
If death is merely returning to the wider world, why are they so afraid of dying?
He raised an eyebrow, recalling the many wonders of the Great World, and thought to himself, "The Great Xuanzhuo Realm is full of mysteries and countless Cauldron Vessel."
Perhaps Lu Baizhong's sect can ensure that even if he dies in his Rebirth Realm moments, he can be reborn in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.
If that's true, then Lu Baizhong's sect's methods are far superior to those of ordinary sects, allowing disciples to retain their souls even after failing in their Truth-Seeking Realm, and return to the Great World to start over.
Such methods are far beyond the capabilities of ordinary small sects and factions.
Chen Lingxi couldn't help but yearn for the Great Xuanzhuo Realm even more.
He snapped out of his reverie and didn't linger any longer.
He found a relatively flat spot in the valley and sat down cross-legged.
Although he had won the battle just now, most of the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea had been consumed, his sword wounds needed to be healed, and more importantly... that Thunder Treasure Qi urgently needed to be refined.
And the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon also requires a calm and focused mind to comprehend it.
He first used his spiritual energy to seal the bleeding from the sword wound on his chest, then swallowed a healing pill he had obtained from Rong Chun bracelet, and focused on refining the pill.
A cool medicinal power spread like spring water, gradually removing the remaining lightning Sword Qi from the wound.
After a long time, Chen Lingxi's injuries gradually healed. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, circulating the Six-Qi True Method to begin refining the Thunder Treasure Qi.
The moment the Thunder Treasure Qi came into contact with his own spiritual Qi, it unleashed an extremely violent force of resistance.
Even though Chen Lingxi was prepared, she was still shaken by the violent power of the thunder, causing her Qi and Blood to surge.
He quickly activated his own spiritual energy to suppress its violent struggles little by little.
At the same time, the silvery-white light of the Sword-Edge Qi also shone, wrapping the Thunder Treasure Qi layer by layer, preventing it from rampaging through the Qi Sea.
The refining process was extremely slow, taking almost half a day before the Thunder Treasure Qi qi finally calmed down completely, gently hovering in the depths of the Qi Sea Spirit Pool, occupying a corner along with the Mysterious Qi and the Sword-Edge Qi.
Mission accomplished!
Chen Lingxi exhaled a long breath of stale air, which contained extremely fine arcs of electricity that crackled and flickered twice in the air before dissipating.
He opened his eyes, and with a slight thought, a wisp of extremely fine and faint golden lightning leaped from his fingertips, hissing softly.
He activated the lightning and then used the Azure Edge Method, combining the lightning with the sharpness of the Azure Edge Method.
The azure light and lightning intertwined without any hesitation, and its power was far superior to that of the simple Azure Edge Method.
He understood that although this Thunder Treasure Qi was not yet paired with any thunderous techniques, its own thunderous power alone would imbue all his killing methods with the scorching power of lightning.
He withdrew his finger and then immersed his Divine Sense into his Consciousness Sea, beginning to comprehend the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon that Lu Baizhong had engraved in his Consciousness Sea.
The entire profound meaning of the sword manual, the methods of wielding the Swordsmanship, the method of tempering the sword with lightning, the technique of condensing Sword Qi, and even the many cultivation insights that Lu Baizhong added to it, were all presented before his eyes.
The more Chen Lingxi looked, the more astonished and amazed she became.
The Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon no ordinary sword technique, but a complete cultivation system that integrates the way of thunder with the way of the sword.
From the most basic method of tempering the body with lightning to the more advanced methods of using lightning as clothing, controlling lightning with a sword, and nourishing a sword with lightning, each level is explained in great detail.
If one can cultivate it to its full potential, every gesture will carry the power of heavenly thunder, making it an extremely powerful killing technique even in the Great World.
However, this sword manual is extremely profound, even more complex and mysterious than the Heaven-Seizing Seal.
"Mastering this sword manual will likely take more than just a day or two."
Chen Lingxi reviewed the entire Sword Scripture in his Consciousness Sea and had already made up his mind.
It's not convenient to cultivate here in the Ancestral Mountain right now. It's not too late to cultivate slowly after we leave the Ancestral Mountain and find a safe place.
He sat cross-legged like that, continuing to refine the Life Devouring spiritual energy within his body that had not yet been fully digested!
Zheng Wuzheng, Rong Chun, Lu Baizhong!
After a long time...
When he opened his eyes again, the Spirit Pool in his Qi Sea had expanded by more than one size.
The spiritual liquid was as clear as jade, unfathomably deep, and every drop was condensed to the extreme.
The Seventh Floor is almost complete...
Chen Lingxi's eyes flashed, feeling that this trip to Ancestral Mountain had been incredibly fruitful!
His consciousness sank into the Divine Chamber Divine Chamber, where tadpole-shaped characters shimmered with golden light amidst the clouds.
When Chen Lingxi saw those words, her heart skipped a beat.
"Wandering Sight Divine Ability has changed again!"
The area for Sight-Roaming has long since expanded to two hundred li in both directions!
besides...
He stared at the tadpole-like characters, and Sight-Roaming that below the first column of characters, there were only two columns of names.
One was himself, and the other was Lin Suri.
And now, another line is empty...
"So, I can Sight-Roaming anyone other than Lin Suri?"
Chen Lingxi was overjoyed!
But where is Lin Suri now?
Chen Lingxi had not forgotten that Lin Suri still possessed a wisp of Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi.
The Mother Qi is the most extraordinary treasure here.
He was engrossed in the Sight-Roaming!
But we saw it was 150 miles away!
Lin Suri is being chased by a group of people who want to seize his Mother Qi!
A smile appeared on Chen Lingxi.
"Brother Lin... I'm here to help you."
