Please Accept Me as Your Disciple

Chen Lingxi into seclusion to cultivate the great Divine Ability Thunder-Prison Heaven, while this Cave Heaven was completely engulfed in a battle among the powerful.

The Immortal Ranking after the top five on the Immortal Ranking change frequently.

Many sects and immortal clans in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm have dispatched new powerful figures to compete for the Immortal Husk.

The strong attack each other, destroying and weakening the Guiding Passage Formation that guides them.

In a short time, many mortals in this Weiji Grotto-Heaven witnessed the battles between immortals, and many places where mortals gathered perished as a result.

Two years passed quietly like that.

Xi Lan, carrying his backpack and wiping away sweat, came to these many mountains, and followed the faint, elusive energy to climb the barren mountain.

She is in her early twenties, the prime of a woman's life.

In this desolate wilderness, her exquisitely beautiful face stood out like a magnolia blooming amidst ruins, completely out of place with the surrounding jagged rocks and withered vines.

She was extremely beautiful, with a slender yet not frail figure. Her shoulders and back were straight like a pine tree, and her waist was so small that it could be encircled by one hand. A light blue dress was worn on her, which brought out her natural charm like a lotus flower emerging from clear water.

She has been walking in these mountains for three days.

The dry rations in their bag were long gone, and their water bag was empty, so they could only scoop up handfuls of cool spring water from the mountain stream to quench their thirst and pick some wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

After three days of trekking, her hands, already covered in calluses, had a few more new scratches, and her ankles were bruised from hitting rocks.

Yet her beautiful face showed no sign of fatigue; instead, it carried an irrepressible hope, and her brows and eyes were brimming with an uncontainable smile.

Like a young girl about to see a long-lost friend, her heart and eyes are filled with joy.

She then untied the half-empty water pouch from her waist, tilted her head back, and took a sip.

The water pouch was only half full. She took a small sip to moisten her lips and then hung the pouch back on her waist.

"It's almost there, the vital energy is getting closer and closer."

Xi Lan muttered to herself.

As she spoke, she raised her head and looked up at the misty mountain peaks.

The mountain peak was extremely high and steep, and the clouds and mist above the mountainside were so thick that they were like a real veil, completely obscuring the summit and making it impossible to see clearly.

She tilted her head and looked for a moment, then suddenly wrinkled her nose and gave a soft hum in the direction of the mountain peak, as if she were sulking with the mountain or urging herself on.

She unconsciously revealed a touch of naivety.

"Then... is the immortal truly here? But I wonder if my dream can be considered valid?"

That's what she thought to herself.

Ever since that day when she was awakened by that person's finger in her father's mansion, she has always thought of that immortal.

"If I find an immortal and ask him to take me as his disciple, will I then be able to see the world of my dreams?"

Xi Lan turned her head, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

That magnificent world, so different from the mundane one...

It's so beautiful.

That is why, five years later, Xi Lan could no longer suppress the hope in his heart and set off three months ago, following the dreams of the past two years and that faint aura, embarking on the path to seek immortality.

Standing beside the blue stone, gazing up at the mountain peaks in the clouds, her joy grew even stronger.

She reached out and cupped her hands above her brow, shielding her eyes from the blinding sunlight, and squinted as she peered into the deepest part of the clouds.

The clouds and mist surged like waves, a hazy gray, obscuring everything.

"Right there," she murmured, then broke into a run and ran along the rugged mountain path toward the summit.

She ran for a while, but as the mountain path became steeper and full of jagged rocks, she slowed down.

Looking down at her shoes, she noticed a small hole at the toe, revealing a sliver of her pink toes.

She wrinkled her nose, squatted down, and poked at the hole with her fingertips. Then she looked up at the mountain peaks shrouded in mist and sighed, "These shoes probably won't last until the top."

If you were to stand barefoot in front of the immortals...

She paused abruptly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks.

Xi Lan quickly shook her head, trying to shake off those chaotic thoughts.

She rested for a while, then stood up again, about to continue climbing, when suddenly the light above her head suddenly became very bright.

The clouds that had been blocking out the sky were torn apart as if by an invisible hand, revealing a clear blue sky behind them.

In the azure sky, two figures stood on clouds.

The two figures were surrounded by spiritual light, dressed in luxurious robes, and exuded an aura of majesty. Just by standing there, an indescribable pressure descended upon them.

Xi Lan raised her head, her shimmering eyes gazing at the clouds.

She saw two figures riding on clouds!

"An immortal... an immortal?"

Xi Lan raised her head.

But it wasn't the person she had been searching for for so many days; instead, it was two unfamiliar immortals.

The two figures were surrounded by spiritual light, dressed in luxurious robes, and exuded an aura of majesty. Just by standing there, an indescribable pressure descended upon them.

She felt her breath catch in her throat, her knees buckled, and she could barely stand.

But she still forced herself to stand up straight, tilted her head back, and looked at the two people.

Just then, one of the cold-faced cultivators lowered his head and stared directly at her.

His gaze was calm, yet tinged with confusion.

These two cultivators were none other than the Quexing Xi Family cultivators.

One is Xi Yuan, and the other is Xi Ming, who has only recently emerged as a prominent figure.

Xi Ming frowned as he stared at the woman in the mountains.

"The person the clan asked us to capture is this seemingly ordinary woman?" Xi Ming asked, quite puzzled.

Xi Yuan to the side, spoke softly, "The elders of the clan have their reasons; we should just follow them."

Immediately, Xi Yuan reached out and grabbed!

With just a single grab, the world changed color.

At that moment, the cultivator's spiritual energy surged, and his spiritual light suddenly increased, transforming into a spiritual energy handprint that enveloped Xi Lan.

Xi Lan hadn't reacted yet, and just stood there blankly.

The handprint was so fast that before she could even process what was happening, it was already less than three zhang above her head.

The intense pressure caused her to collapse to the ground.

Just then, a bolt of lightning roared from the depths of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, a golden bolt of lightning shot into the sky, traversing from the depths of the mountain and soaring straight into the clouds.

The massive spiritual energy handprint, which was already within reach, instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished under the impact of the thunder.

Xi Lan felt a sense of relief wash over her, and only then did she realize what had happened.

"Those two immortals... are they trying to kill me?"

She gasped for breath, cold sweat pouring down her forehead, then looked up at the spot where the lightning had flashed.

Xi Yuan and Xi Ming, who were standing on the clouds, immediately became wary.

Xi Yuan's spiritual energy surged forth, and his aura became turbulent.

"This lightning bolt broke my spell so easily; the one who came is no ordinary person."

He thought to himself.

Xi Ming was even more decisive.

He formed a hand seal almost at the exact moment the lightning exploded.

His right hand moved like a butterfly in the Void, and as the spiritual light emanated from his fingertips, countless fine array patterns appeared in the Void, spreading out as if they were a huge cage, covering the surrounding ten miles of Void!

[The Heaven-Connecting Space-Refining Formation]!

At the same time, Xi Ming formed another hand seal with his left hand and chanted incantations.

As the light flickered at his fingertips, countless fine array patterns appeared in the Void, forming a second large array within a radius of a hundred feet, centered on the spot where the lightning had just flashed.

The great formation was in the shape of a nine-palace array, with dark red patterns. An extremely strange sealing power emanated from it, locking away all spiritual energy and vital energy within the array.

It was a [Spirit-Sealing Formation].

Two grand formations operated simultaneously, one trapping the enemy and the other sealing away spirits. Xi Ming laid out an inescapable net with a mere flick of his wrist, revealing his profound mastery of formations.

This Xi Ming was actually a cultivator specializing in array formations.

A hint of approval flashed in Xi Yuan's eyes as his gaze pierced through the lingering lightning and fell into the depths of the mountain.

Then, a figure was seen slowly emerging from the mountainside.

The man was dressed in a dark robe, which fluttered Subtle Insight in the wind.

This person had a calm expression and did not reveal any sharp edge, yet he possessed a chilling aura that commanded respect.

As he stepped out of the mountain, an indescribable, terrifying pressure spread out from him.

Xi Yuan's expression suddenly turned serious.

"Chen Lingxi," Xi Yuan said slowly, revealing the name of the person who had just arrived.

Upon hearing Xi Ming's eyes swirled even faster.

He had also seen this name on the Immortal Ranking. At that time, Chen Lingxi was ranked fourteenth and had killed the Dao Platform incarnation of the Daoist Fire Tuo of the Sea of the Calamity Sea with his body at the Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation.

Now, two years later, this person's aura has become much more profound than before, clearly indicating that he has entered the Dao Platform realm, and his foundation is far more solid than ordinary people.

Chen Lingxi stood on the mountainside, raised her head, and glanced at Xi Yuan and Xi Ming, who were suspended in the clouds, before her gaze fell on Xi Lan, who was panting heavily beside a blue stone not far away.

He frowned slightly.

"How did Xi Lan manage to find me?"

Xi Lan saw him at that moment as well.

A look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

Chen Lingxi withdrew her gaze and turned it back to Xi Yuan and Xi Ming.

A slight smile appeared on Xi Ming's lips.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, once I set up this Heaven-Connecting Space-Refining Formation, the Void within the array will be under my control."

All the spiritual energy flowing within the formation, all the changes in the vital energy, could not escape my perception.

Fellow Daoist has cultivated to the Dao Platform, but has not yet cultivated the Profound Root...

"It's quite an unexpected surprise..."

Xi Ming could finish speaking...

Chen Lingxi stepped forward!

His aura erupted at that moment, and bolts of lightning surged forth from his body like a tidal wave, condensing into a dazzling halo of lightning around him.

Lightning patterns flowed across the halo, and with each flash, an extremely pure and domineering aura of thunderous power emanated from it.

The next moment!

Chen Lingxi clenched his right hand in the Void, and the surging pale golden lightning around him converged wildly into his palm like rivers flowing into the sea.

The lightning spun and compressed in his palm, instantly transforming into a longsword entirely constructed of lightning!

"Hmm? Chen Lingxi's understanding of the Dao of Thunder is actually so profound."

Xi Ming's expression changed slightly, surprised by Chen Lingxi's powerful aura.

But then he remembered that he and Xi Yuan were there.

"How could two Dao Platform incarnations fear a mere native of Cave Heaven?"

And Xi Yuan had already made his move!

His spiritual energy surged wildly, and golden light burst forth, condensing into a Divine Ability!

[Que Golden Body]!

At the same time, he clenched his right hand in the Void, and countless sword-like lights shone from his fingertips!

[Rugged Peak Gale Swordlight!]

Two extraordinary supernatural Divine Ability were operating simultaneously.

Xi Yuan struck out with his palm, and countless sword lights shot towards Chen Lingxi like a blue rainstorm!

At this moment, Xi Ming also activated the Heaven-Connecting Space-Refining Formation.

The six-sided runes of the great formation lit up simultaneously, their light soaring into the sky and intertwining in the Void, instantly transforming into a massive cage of spiritual light that enveloped Chen Lingxi from all directions.

At the same time, his hands moved rapidly, and array patterns flew out from his fingertips like a rainstorm, disappearing into the [Spirit-Sealing Formation].

Both formations operated at their maximum capacity simultaneously, their spiritual light and runes intertwining to form a vast net, aiming to suppress and kill Chen Lingxi within it.

Chen Lingxi stood between the two great formations, facing the sky full of wind blades and the overwhelming array patterns. She only raised her eyelids, and a very faint look of disappointment flashed across her eyes.

That's it?

He muttered to himself.

Before he finished speaking, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body began to slowly rotate.

As the Dao Platform rotated, an indescribable surge of profound spiritual energy erupted from Dao Platform!

Chen Lingxi and a sword formed from lightning soared into the air, transforming into the [Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword] and flying away!

It landed on those two great formations!

Xi Ming's expression changed drastically, and his hands flew up and down, unleashing a barrage of hand seals at the two great formations.

This Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword was far too sharp and intense; as the lightning crackled, it tore a hole in the great formation.

Chen Lingxi stepped out from the two great formations, and the lightning around him surged once more.

The overwhelming sword light that filled the sky collided with the lightning surrounding him and instantly dissipated into nothingness!

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lingxi her fingers.

The Mystic Realm Azure Edge Method transformed into azure sword light, slashing straight down towards Xi Yuan!

Xi Yuan's pupils contracted sharply as he pushed his Que Golden Body to its limit, causing his body to radiate golden light and forcefully withstand the Azure Edge Method.

However, the thunderous Daoist aura contained in that sword light was too domineering. Although Que Golden Body was not shattered, it was still violently shaken by the attack, and the golden light dimmed by three points.

Xi Yuan grunted, his body drifting dozens of feet backward before he finally regained his footing, his eyes filled with even more apprehension!

"In just two short years, Chen Lingxi, who is not some kind of incarnation of a guide, has increased his strength so much?"

"With such a foundation, I'm afraid my two Xi Ming and I are no match for them."

Xi Yuan's thoughts were racing.

He gritted his teeth, clasped his hands together in front of him, and the heart of this avatar suddenly pounded.

It felt as if a Spirit Artifact was embedded in my heart.

At this moment, the Spirit Artifact shone brightly, unleashing its power!

A glint flashed in his eyes, and an extremely strange spiritual energy emanated from him, transforming into an invisible ripple that swept towards Chen Lingxi.

Where the ripples passed, the Void seemed to have been drained of all life, and even the dust floating in the air froze in mid-air at that moment.

Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability!

[The Death-Imprisoning Art]!

Xi Yuan had not yet formed Profound Root, and was therefore insufficient to unleash such a Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability.

If it weren't for the Void -Void-Biting Spirit Artifact in his heart, he would never have been able to cast the [Death-Imprisoning Art].

Even so, the power of this great Divine Ability ability is greatly diminished.

"Even so, this should be enough to suppress Chen Lingxi!"

[The Death-Imprisoning Art]!

Once struck by this Divine Ability power, the life force within the enemy's body will be completely locked up, their spiritual energy will stagnate, Qi and Blood will not flow, as if they were imprisoned in an invisible cage, at the mercy of others.

only...

Xi Yuan clearly underestimated Chen Lingxi at this moment.

The moment the ripples of the Death-Imprisoning Art touched the layer of lightning surrounding Chen Lingxi, they were instantly dissolved!

Chen Lingxi her face, and her breathing became much more disordered.

But at that moment, Chen Lingxi his sword backhand, Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon Heaven-Drum Sword Light, pierced the sky like a bolt of lightning, slashing towards Xi Yuan.

In Xi Yuan haste, Xi Yuan once again activated his Que Golden Body to withstand the attack. This time, the Que Golden Body finally couldn't hold on and shattered inch by inch under the impact of the sword light, with golden light scattering like rain.

Xi Yuan was sent flying backward by the sword strike!

Xi Ming's face was pale, and his breathing was also disordered.

However, while the Death-Imprisoning Art was being activated, he still managed to set up a completely new killing formation at Chen Lingxi.

The killing formation was in the shape of a Bagua (Eight Trigrams), with dark gold patterns. An extremely terrifying killing aura rose into the sky from within it; it was the [Seven-Star Killing Formation].

Countless killing intents surged forth from the formation like a torrential rain, overwhelming Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi glanced down at him, then gently clenched his right hand in the Void, causing the halo of lightning surrounding him to suddenly surge.

Countless fine, pale golden lightning bolts surged forth from the halo like serpents, rushing towards the overwhelming killing intent.

In just a few breaths, the murderous aura that filled the sky was completely devoured by the lightning!

Then, a bolt of lightning struck Xi Ming down into the mountain!

Chen Lingxi his sword, stood up, and turned around.

Then I saw the Xi Yuan in the clouds.

"So powerful... You've cultivated a great Divine Ability and already condensed your Profound Root?"

Xi Yuan took a deep breath.

Chen Lingxi strode forward, and clouds rose spontaneously beneath his feet.

He approached Xi Yuan and suddenly asked, "Why did the Xi Family capture her?"

Upon hearing Xi Yuan was slightly taken aback, then followed Chen Lingxi's gaze to Xi Lan, who was still curled up beside the bluestone.

Xi Yuan did not answer.

Perhaps knowing that this avatar could no longer exist, Xi Yuan took a deep breath, and his figure suddenly began to dissipate.

Chen Lingxi shook his head, and the Longevity Bridge suddenly started operating, shattering the two avatars of Xi Yuan and Xi Ming.
