The Might of the Spirit Jade, Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown

Chen Lingxi's pupils constricted.

Fengshan Sui

The Great Li has existed for over two hundred years. More than two hundred years ago, the Great Li raised an army and overthrew the Great Yuan Dynasty!

Among them were twelve founding heroes, whose contributions were the most outstanding.

After the Great Li, the Skyvault Pavilion was built to enshrine these twelve founding heroes.

One of them was named Fengshan Sui, who was the first Marquis Fengshan!

Chen Lingxi originally thought that this Marquis Fengshan was the current heir to the title of Marquis of Fengshan, but she never expected that the current Marquis Fengshan was also named Fengshan Sui...

This is rather strange.

"Could this person have lived for over two hundred years?"

Chen Lingxi was somewhat surprised.

Even if a martial artist with Qi and Blood Mystic Entry Realm, their lifespan is not much longer than that of an ordinary person.

Even though their internal organs are incredibly powerful, the circulation of their own Qi and Blood places a heavy burden on their internal organs and the rest of their body.

Unless a Mystic Entry Realm practitioner stops cultivating and dissipates their Qi and Blood after the Mystic Entry Realm realm, living for 120 years is already considered a long life.

Even if the body's vital Qi and Blood are dispersed, the internal organs, which are already accustomed to strong Qi and Blood, will wither and decline due to the lack of Qi and Blood supply.

So from beginning to end...

There has probably never Mystic Entry Realm in the world who could live for two hundred years!

This is the limitation of Cave Heaven.

The Great Xuanzhuo Realm is rich in Spiritual Qi. If a body cultivator like Shi Hong can cultivate to the third realm of Ascending Heavenward Realm, and if he is not injured or loses his lifespan, he can live for at least two or three hundred years.

It is far superior to this Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

"The Great Li have never had the tradition of naming their descendants after their ancestors, which is also against etiquette and law."

"So this first Marquis Fengshan actually lived for over two hundred years."

He was somewhat surprised.

But then he thought about it again and didn't find it strange.

"This Cave Heaven holds many fortuitous opportunity; perhaps this Marquis Fengshan has obtained some such fortuitous opportunity, granting him longevity."

Chen Lingxi stopped thinking about it and slowly stood up.

He gazed at the two names inscribed on the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade.

He felt as if he were looking down on Qi Lian and Marquis Fengshan amidst the mysteries of heaven and earth.

He seemed to have gained a power that could easily suppress these two people.

As Chen Lingxi sensed the mysterious aura emanating from the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, his curiosity about the words "Cauldron Vessel" grew ever stronger.

The mysteries of the Cauldron Vessel are so profound that even True Lord would likely be unable to trace its origins, understand its causes and effects, or comprehend the mysterious and powerful force it contains.

"The Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade was forged by the Great Heavenly General of Immortal Capital and presented to Hanging-Sword Daoist."

"Now that the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade has shattered, its fragments have fallen into the Void Turbulence and into countless Cave Heaven and secret realms."

This likely means that the Hanging-Sword Daoist is dead! He possessed such a terrifying Cauldron Vessel, yet he still perished."

A multitude of emotions welled up within Chen Lingxi.

There was both anticipation and trepidation regarding the Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

But ultimately, everything will have to wait until later.

"If I cannot escape this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven, whether I am hopeful or anxious, it will ultimately come to nothing."

Chen Lingxi stood up, and the Cloud Soaring Technique beneath his feet transformed into a blue cloud, mixed with lightning.

"That Great Sage Luo Yuan is one of my sources of life; and the Dao Foundation Realm Inscription Divine Ability mentioned by Emperor Daye is the transformation of the Dao Foundation Realm cultivator after his death! A Dao Foundation Realm cultivator once came to this Cave Heaven, just as Emperor Daye said, he could come and go as he pleased."

"The hidden depths of this Cave Heaven must conceal a passage leading to the Great Xuanzhuo Realm; this is my second chance at survival."

"Let me first explore the Divine Ability inscribed on that Dao Foundation Realm!"

Chen Lingxi's body transformed into a streak of light, heading straight towards Jade Pivot Island in the distance. Its speed was as fast as a rainbow spreading out after rain!

--

On Jade Pivot Island.

This island was not a deserted island a few years ago; it was inhabited by many people, numbering in the thousands.

But later, for some unknown reason, many of the island's inhabitants disappeared.

The houses and buildings on the island gradually fell into disrepair and decay due to lack of maintenance amidst the waves.

Many sea dwellers say that the Jade Pivot Island did not worship the sea god, which angered the sea god and caused a natural disaster, with another storm sweeping away the lives of the islanders.

This certainly can't be taken seriously.

However, Jade Pivot Island has become a forbidden place, and merchant ships no longer stop there for rest and repair.

At this moment, Marquis Fengshan, with his golden sword drawn, sat atop a rock on the island.

The protruding rocks were completely out of place with Marquis Fengshan's magnificent attire. Marquis Fengshan held a jade pendant in his hand and frowned slightly.

"Just now, the imperial court sent word that a Rebirth Realm cultivator named Chen Lingxi has seized control of the Twelfth Floor! In the Battle of Seizing the Cauldron, he killed thousands of Silver Bones and defeated Marquis Purple Ascension and His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Seize that Cauldron Vessel, the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade."

Not far away, General Qi Lian stood tall, his brows slightly furrowed.

Dressed in a long robe, he exuded a refined and scholarly air, possessing an extraordinary bearing. He looked less like a general and more like a prime minister.

"The person in this portrait is the young man who came to investigate Jade Pivot Island yesterday. I chased him for over two hundred miles, but I couldn't tell that he had the cultivation level of the Twelfth Floor at all."

"His Spiritual Qi is extremely abundant, but it can only reach the Tenth Floor of perfection at most."

In terms of the mysterious and extraordinary, this person's mastery of magic throughout his life was truly remarkable. For example, his method of riding the clouds had reached Mystic Realm.

Even I, at the same speed as him, cannot easily catch up with him.

"That's strange." Marquis Fengshan stood up and looked at a huge rock on Jade Pivot Island.

The boulder was pitch black and split in two, with glimmers of light shining through the cracks.

A flash of light seemed to construct a mirage, blurry and indistinct.

This must be the Dao Foundation Divine Ability Inscription.

"If I had known that young man would bring so much trouble to the court, I would have burned the Three Flowers on his head and killed him..." General Qi Lian said softly, his tone calm.

It seemed as if he could easily kill Chen Lingxi if he wanted to.

"He must not be killed." Marquis Fengshan slowly shook his head. "The Sage's scheme still rests on Chen Lingxi."

As the two were talking, the distant clouds and mist suddenly stirred.

Qi Lian frowned slightly, and as he reached out, a phantom appeared in his hand.

That illusory figure was actually a mirror, its surface rippling like flowing water.

Where the ripples passed, an image appeared.

It seems that General Qi Lian and Marquis Fengshan learned yesterday from the reflection in the mirror that Chen Lingxi was spying on them from the sea!

At that very moment, a figure appeared in the image.

Qi Lian frowned immediately.

Marquis Fengshan also snorted coldly.

"This Chen Lingxi... he's courting death."

"With the two of us here, even if he were truly at the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation, he wouldn't fare well, yet he still dares to come again."

Marquis Fengshan spoke softly, then his expression turned solemn as he said to Qi Lian, "Since this man is not afraid of death, he must have something to rely on."

We are tasked with protecting the Divine Ability inscribed on the Dao Foundation Realm, and we cannot allow them to be lost.

Within this realm today, Chen Lingxi is probably the strongest person to the Rebirth Realm.

"We must not underestimate him. We must wait until he gets close and then attack together, doing our utmost to kill him. Only in this way can we ensure our safety."

Qi Lian's cultivation and combat strength are no weaker than those of Marquis Fengshan.

But now that Marquis Fengshan the order, Qi Lian seems to obey it obediently, bowing and responding.

At the same time, a flow of energy suddenly appeared above his head, and spiritual energy circulated, transforming into three blooming flowers.

These are precisely the lead, silver, and gold flowers that symbolize vitality and spirit!

The three flowers shimmered with spiritual light, and a surging energy flowed between them.

This is precisely the most extraordinary Mystery Mechanism of the Qi Circulation, Eleventh Floor.

Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

With the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Qi Lian's essence, energy, and spirit had been refined to their utmost.

Their physical bodies are incredibly strong; they can survive even if their hearts are pierced, and even if their arms are severed, they can be reattached as long as the limbs remain.

The speed of spiritual energy recovery is greatly enhanced. If ordinary spells are used, the spiritual energy can be said to be inexhaustible, with extremely strong staying power.

The Consciousness Sea is as solid as a rock and as stable as Mount Tai. It cannot be disturbed by the charms and illusions of ordinary strong people, or by the possession of inner demons or the attack on the Consciousness Sea.

This demonstrates just how powerful the Qi Circulation, Eleventh Floor is.

The Marquis Fengshan was the same; his Qi and Blood and energy were no different from the waves on the sea, surging and churning.

His martial arts spirit is like the sun, almost never fading.

The two of them gazed at the distant clouds and mist.

But then, in the distance, waves rose from the clouds, and as the waves surged, a bolt of lightning struck in an instant!

Qi Lian's pupils contracted slightly.

But atop the lightning and clouds, the young man who had been chased and utterly defeated by his longsword Divine Ability just yesterday stood calmly.

He also wore a sword gleaming with lightning at his waist.

Qi Lian's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he carefully observed the young man.

He could clearly sense that the young man's body was filled with auras, his spiritual energy was quite abundant, and he seemed to have returned to his peak.

Even so...

"This person's strength seems to have weakened compared to yesterday."

Qi Lian transmitted his Divine Sense, utterly perplexed...

A message came from the imperial court saying that this person had the cultivation level of the Twelfth Floor and had defeated many people who wanted to seize the throne. Even the Purple-Robed Marquis and the Crown Prince, when they joined forces, were no match for him. If the Sage did not intervene, the Purple-Robed Marquis and the Crown Prince would probably die at his hands.

Yesterday, this person's cultivation level was not yet at the Qi Circulation, Eleventh Floor, but only at the Tenth Floor of perfection.

And today...

This person's cultivation level has fallen slightly below the Tenth Floor's peak level.

"Getting weaker and weaker? That's too strange."

Marquis Fengshan's expression was cold and stern, with no hint of contempt in his eyes. "No matter what, we will join forces to suppress this person."

"Don't kill him, he still has a great use to him."

At this point, Marquis Fengshan paused slightly, then said, "If our lives are in danger, then we should not hold back any longer."

Just kill him.

"The divine Divine Might a sage is unfathomable; even without Chen Lingxi, there would be other methods."

No sooner had Marquis Fengshan finished speaking than a moment had passed!

Boom!

A violent roar suddenly rang out.

Like a mountain collapsing, a pure and violent surge of Qi and Blood flowed from Marquis Fengshan, compressing the surrounding air and producing bursts of explosions!

It was as if the surrounding hills were collapsing, incredibly terrifying.

With that explosive sound, Marquis Fengshan leaped up like an arrow released from a bow!

Like the rising sun, the Qi and Blood of the Mystic Entry Realm were squeezed to the extreme. At this moment, Marquis Fengshan was like a small sun, crashing straight into Chen Lingxi!

Wherever it passed, the clouds and mist suddenly dissipated, and the waves on the sea were suppressed by the terrifying aura, its power reaching its peak.

And General Qi Lian was the same.

He stood still, Three Flowers blooming above his head, and a wisp of pure white auspicious cloud suddenly gathered beneath his feet, lifting his body and transforming into a streak of light that flew towards him.

Behind Qi Lian, just like yesterday, a phantom image of a thirty-foot-long sword also materialized.

The long sword phantom was shimmering with light, runes were blooming, and its energy was roaring!

A sharp aura, along with dense spiritual energy, burst forth between heaven and earth, as if it had stolen all the sharpness from the Void here!

Right now.

The long sword was raised high, then crashed down.

Laugh!

A blade of energy hundreds of feet long unleashed its power, as if a deity wielding a long blade was slashing down horizontally.

The clouds in the sky were cleaved in two by the long sword, which then slashed straight towards Chen Lingxi!

Marquis Fengshan's fist is as bright as the sun.

Qi Lian's Divine Ability sword light was like a god wielding a sword, slicing through the Void!

This is Qi-Blood Martial Dao!

A Divine Ability technique!

Its combat power was immense, and it was about to fall on Chen Lingxi.

Qi Lian remained calm. Although he was curious as to why Chen Lingxi dared to come, he showed no mercy.

His eyes gleamed as he gazed at Chen Lingxi high in the clouds in the distance.

Then he saw Chen Lingxi, a handsome man with lightning crackling around him, and angrily drew his sword!

On Thunderlight Sword, rolling lightning bolts moved like lightning snakes.

An extremely profound thunderous Sword Qi bloomed forth.

In the next instant, the Thunder Sword Qi transformed into twelve sword lights, carrying surging spiritual energy as they rolled in.

Rumble!

The sword light roared, and the thunder danced like a thunder dragon, exploding in the Void like a god beating a drum!

The Twelve Heavenly Drum Peals!

The heavenly drums resound! Sword Qi surges forth!

only...

"This Sword Qi is rather weak. If this is Chen Lingxi's reliance, it's rather strange."

"Is this person really here to die?"

Qi Lian thought to himself.

Then...

The numerous Thunderclap Sword Light landed on his hundreds-of-foot-long sword aura, and also on the sun-like, sun-like fist intent of Marquis Fengshan!
