An encounter in the wilds-unexpectedly, little martial uncle was here too

But then they saw that Chen Lingxi was surrounded by a surge of lightning, and the Thunder-Prison Heaven that stretched across the Void had already unfolded.

As soon as the Thunder Prison was formed, the clouds within a radius of several hundred feet were instantly burned into nothingness.

Lightning surged and roared within, and thunder dragons weaved and roared through it!

As the lightning crackled, it dyed the entire sky a shimmering gold.

Chen Lingxi stood in the center of the Thunder Prison, his aura surging subtly.

Then he raised his hand and flicked it, and in an instant, the Heaven-Grown Jade in the depths of the stone forest was captured by his Dao Origin!

In an instant, the accompanying Mystic Light that was wrapped around the Heaven-Grown Jade suddenly flashed brightly and burst forth!

Wherever it passed, the rocks silently split in two, the cuts as smooth as a mirror!

Before the grass and trees could even be shaken, they had already turned to dust and scattered with the wind!

"Such a domineering edge."

Chen Lingxi narrowed her eyes, but her mind was clear.

This accompanying Mystic Light was comparable to a full-force attack from Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator.

Today, standing in the Total Perception Divine Chamber, he can take this opportunity to test his own strength.

"Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light."

With a thought, he drew his Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword with a clang.

As soon as the sword appeared, the remaining patterns of the hundred restrictions on its blade lit up simultaneously, and an incomparably violent sword intent soared into the sky from the sword's edge.

Chen Lingxi flipped his wrist and slashed diagonally with his sword.

The Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light, like a pale golden sword rainbow traversing the sky, burst forth from the Abyssal Heaven Spirit Sword.

As the sword light passed, countless thunderbolts surged in the Thunder-Prison Heaven, all converging into the sword light. At that moment, the sword light swelled, transforming into a jade-white tiger that had broken free of its shackles and was roaring as it tried to devour the four seas.

The sword light and the Mystic Light collided violently in the Void!

The moment the two Killing Power collided, a terrifying sonic boom exploded from the point of convergence, sweeping wildly outwards.

The residual force of the impact caused countless stones in the stone forest beneath Chen Lingxi to break off simultaneously, with fragments falling into the valley like rain, stirring up clouds of dust.

The accompanying Mystic Light was worn away by half by the sword light, but its sharpness remained intimidating, and its momentum did not diminish as it slashed straight down at Chen Lingxi.

"Dragon Transformation!"

Chen Lingxi a low shout.

Within the Inner Divine Palace of his body, the illusory image of the Azure-Gold True Dragon, which had been coiled there, suddenly opened its dragon eyes.

An immense surge of vital energy erupted from the depths of the palace, engulfing his entire body.

A bluish-gold luster flowed between his skin and flesh, his bones crackled, and a faint dragon spine-like bone line rose from his shoulders and back. His vital energy surged like a great river, roaring and washing over every inch of his muscles and bones!

He took a half-step forward, and his entire being transformed into an ancient deity with a dragon's head and a human body, his aura suddenly surging.

Mystic Light flashed, he raised his right arm and threw a punch.

Lightning and azure-gold essence intertwined on the fist, transforming into a highly refined fist aura that crashed directly into the remaining Mystic Light.

Boom!

Another loud bang rang out!

The Mystic Light was abruptly stopped in mid-air by this punch, while the azure light and lightning light tore at each other and eroded each other.

Chen Lingxi felt a sharp pain in his arm bone, and a bloody gash appeared at the base of his thumb. The chilling sharpness contained in the Mystic Light burrowed into his meridians through the wound, like countless tiny ice blades wandering through his blood vessels.

Chen Lingxi suddenly swung his arms, unleashing the Dragon Transformation essence within his body once more, forcing out the sharp wisp that had invaded his meridians inch by inch.

Blood mist gushed from his tiger's mouth, mingling with the lightning, and was then scattered into nothingness by Thunder-Prison Heaven motion.

The accompanying Mystic Light disintegrated, turning into countless blue light fragments that scattered across the ruins of the stone forest.

Chen Lingxi stood there, catching her breath.

He lowered his head, looking at the unhealed wound on the back of his hand, then at the stone forest that had been leveled to the ground, and raised an eyebrow.

"A full-force attack from Dao Foundation Middle Stage cultivator is indeed extraordinary. If I hadn't been adequately prepared and had been caught off guard, I probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it so calmly."

A sudden realization dawned on him.

"Thunder-Prison Heaven is a powerful Killing Power, the Jade Tiger Sea-Reversing Sword Light is the ultimate Killing Power, and the Dragon Transformation and Precious Appearance enhance my physical body... Although my foundation cannot be described as mixed, it is just right to be both offensive and defensive."

"Attack to defeat the enemy, defend to protect yourself."

"Although I am only at the Dao Foundation Early Stage, I am already able to withstand a blow from someone at the Dao Foundation Middle Stage."

A slight smile appeared on his lips as he raised his hand and took the Heaven-Grown Jade in his palm.

The moment Heaven-Grown Jade in his hand, he felt a mysterious energy brewing within it.

Chen Lingxi felt as if she had been pulled into some profound realm.

In that realm, heaven and earth are silent, mountains and rivers are speechless, all gains and losses, honor and disgrace, success and failure have sunk to nothing, leaving only an extremely still and profound "rule".

This is the rule of heaven and earth.

The sun and moon move through the sky, and day and night follow their proper order!

Rivers flow swiftly down, mountains rise high and waters flow long!

The cuckoo comes in spring, the cicadas emerge in autumn, and all things follow their own way and rules.

Chen Lingxi's heart skipped a beat.

As if gaining an understanding, his gaze became even clearer.

He nodded in satisfaction and put the Heaven-Grown Jade into his Hongdong Bag.

Just then, he suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed.

He still had 2,800 strands of Great Luo Dark Qi remaining in his hand.

Chen Lingxi lowered her head and thought for a moment, a slight smile appearing in her eyes.

"Lingyu has been practicing the [Heavenly Calamity Law] for two years, but has never been able to grasp its essence."

If I could find some suitable fortuitous opportunity for her within the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror, it would be a way to repay her for the past two years of helping me tailor spirit robes and water and care for the bamboo.

With that thought in mind, his Divine Sense once again sank into the Great Luo Heaven-Observing Mirror.

The starry sea is boundless, and the Daoist scriptures hang in the air.

Chen Lingxi respectfully to the bright, mirror-like reflection in the sky.

"Chen Lingxi of the Nine Palaces dares to request the Great Luo Heaven-Observing to reveal the fortuitous opportunity for cultivating the [Heavenly Calamity Law]."

The vast starry sky trembled slightly, swirling up boundless fragments of light.

Chen Lingxi quietly lost 1,500 strands of the remaining Great Luo Dark Qi.

A moment later, several messages appeared from the depths of the light in the Void, arranged line by line within Chen Lingxi's Consciousness Sea.

There are two fortuitous opportunity within a radius of one million miles.

Firstly: Three thousand miles east of Dragon-Offering Territory lies a [Mars Reflecting the Moon Zhi). This Zhi is three thousand years old, absorbing Heaven-Illuminating celestial secrets. Cultivators practicing the Heavenly Calamity Law who consume it can glimpse even a fragment of the Dao's workings regarding calamities.

Within the Dragon-Offering Territory, under the jurisdiction of Sun-Awakening Upper Peak, there is a place called [Calamity-Falling Valley].

The valley is perpetually shrouded in miasma, yet a hidden spiritual force resides within; at its bottom, a wisp of [Calamity-Machinery Stone Marrow] emerges.

If the marrow from the stone is refined and used in medicine, those who cultivate the Heavenly Calamity Law can gain a glimpse of nine-tenths of the True Intention of the Path of Calamity.

Chen Lingxi carefully memorized the notes, then gathered her mind and sat cross-legged in the Void again, her eyes slightly closed, waiting peacefully.

He was still holding the Divination Tortoise Shell in his hand.

The tortoise shell was about two feet wide, and its entire body was dark blue-green. Countless intricate patterns were growing on it. The patterns crisscrossed and intertwined, seemingly naturally formed, yet possessing an indescribable and mysterious rhythm.

Chen Lingxi carefully examined the pattern using the method of Qi Observation, and saw that within each fold of the pattern, there was a faint trace of ancient Qi flowing, as if the entire landscape of the world, including mountains and rivers, was condensed on that tortoise shell.

"This object was born of the Yi Turtle and contains the rules of heaven and earth."

I will take it back and study it daily; perhaps it will help me unravel the mysteries of the Heavenly-Law Edict.

"This treasure is the greatest gain I Total Perception on this trip."

Chen Lingxi pondered in her heart.

Another day has passed.

The tenth day of the Total Perception Evolution has quietly come to an end!

Above the sky, the radiance of those Twin Luminous Mirrors suddenly softened.

They simultaneously unleashed their final burst of light, and then shattered!

The Total Perception Divine Chamber vanished completely here.

--

Chen Lingxi returned to the mortal world and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

He flipped his palm over.

In his palm, the Divination Tortoise Shell lay quietly, emanating an ancient and mysterious aura.

Chen Lingxi in satisfaction and carefully put away the Divination Tortoise Shell.

He stood up and walked out of the Water-Curtain Cave.

Outside the cave, the sunlight was just right.

The three suns each occupied a different position, their radiant light washing over the entire sea of clouds at Deer-Sleeping Peak, illuminating it with crystal clarity.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Lingxi took to the clouds that very day and flew straight towards Muyu Peak.

They remained silent the entire way.

It wasn't until Chen Lingxi searched for the low mountain 370 miles west of Muyu Peak, that he once again withstood the murderous intent of the Mystic Light and retrieved the Heaven-Grown Jade.

Having learned from her experience during the Total Perception Evolution, Chen Lingxi managed to block the Mystic Light without even sustaining a minor injury this time.

Inside the Water-Curtain Cave!

Chen Lingxi a jade Heaven-Grown Jade, sat cross-legged, carefully studying the Divination Tortoise Shell.

Day and night alternate, outside the cave the sun rises and the moon sets!

The natural patterns on the Divination Tortoise Shell are not noticeable at first glance.

But when Chen Lingxi used the Dao Platform as a furnace and his own Dao Origin as fire to imprint that pattern onto his Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform, he felt that there was something profound about it.

"These patterns resemble rivers and mountain ridges, as well as the changing winds and clouds and the movement of stars."

Each line is an independent pattern yet interconnected, resembling a grand array of heaven and earth condensed within a small space.

"Truly extraordinary."

Chen Lingxi with emotion.

He continued to use Dao Origin as a guide, carefully studying the Divination Tortoise Shell.

"I see."

After a long while, Chen Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes beaming with joy.

"If I were to use these patterns to reconstruct my Dao Platform, I could deepen my connection with heaven and earth, making it easier to comprehend and apply the Heavenly-Law Edict, and easier to master them."

"It will be easier to unleash this profound and powerful divine Divine Ability in the future."

Without further hesitation, Chen Lingxi immersed himself in the task, contemplating it day and night.

A month or so passed quietly like this.

Outside the Water-Curtain Cave, the water of the thousand-foot waterfall rises and falls several times, and the bamboo leaves in the mountains turn green again and again, with new leaves appearing.

Chen Lingxi remained completely still inside the cave.

Until this day.

Morning light streamed in from outside the cave, falling upon his refined face.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The next instant, two lines suddenly appeared deep in the depths of his eyes.

Like strands of flowing light, they slowly flowed from the depths of Chen Lingxi's eyes, then transformed into two imprints with flowing Daoist charm.

In that instant, Chen Lingxi felt as if he saw the three great suns in the sky revolving in their respective orbits, saw countless mountain and river maps of the Nine-Towers Land unfolding beneath his feet, and saw Spirit Vein winding out from the depths of the earth, connecting with endless mountains, rivers, and lakes.

It was as if he himself was a part of this world, and as if he had finally made a complete connection with this world.

Chen Lingxi was startled, and the two lines under her eyes slowly faded away.

He took a deep breath and muttered to himself:

"We are only one step away from completing the Heavenly-Law Edict."

"But before that, I still need a little help."

He turned his gaze and looked in the direction of Southern Luminary Peak.

Just like the fortuitous opportunity he received at Total Perception.

There is a Daoist Qiaohe on Southern Luminary Peak.

This person is extremely skilled in alchemy.

In his hand was a Pill Formula.

The elixir is named [Heaven-Sensing Spirit Medicine].

If one takes this medicine, one will briefly gain spiritual awareness, allowing cultivators to gain a profound understanding of the workings of heaven and earth when comprehending great Divine Ability powers such as Heavenly-Law Edict. This understanding far surpasses the enlightenment gained from sitting alone in meditation on ordinary days.

"If I could have this medicine, I would be even more confident in breaking through this bottleneck and completely taking control of the Heavenly-Law Edict."

He slowly rose, washed away the dust and grime from his body, changed into a dark gold robe made by Yuan Lingyu, then parted the water curtain, rose on the clouds, and headed straight for Southern Luminary Peak.

Southern Luminary Peak and Deer-Sleeping Peak both belong to the Inner Peak of the Dragon-Offering Sect, and are only about 20,000 li apart.

Using Chen Lingxi's Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method, it didn't take long before they arrived at Southern Luminary Peak!

He descended from the clouds and slowly ascended the peak.

As the mountain climbed higher, the number of disciples they saw in the mountains gradually increased.

Chen Lingxi inquired along the way, only to find that he was looking for an old acquaintance. Soon, a disciple from the foot of the mountain respectfully led him to a valley.

The valley is located on the west side of this mountain peak. The valley entrance is wide, with several very old medicinal maple trees growing on both sides.

Before the valley entrance, a wisp of smoke rose from the valley and into the Void, condensing into a gray-white array three zhang above the valley top.

The array remained neither shaken nor dispersed, possessing its own mysterious and unpredictable workings.

Chen Lingxi used the Qi Observation Method to look over and felt that the array contained at least ninety mysterious restrictions that were interlocked and resonated with each other, making it impossible for an ordinary Dao Foundation Realm cultivator to pass through at will.

This is [Weaving Medicine Valley], the place where the Daoist Qiaohe cultivates.

Chen Lingxi away outside the great formation.

Sure enough, two disciples stood in front of the formation, one with his hands at his sides on the left and the other with his hands behind his back on the right.

Upon seeing Chen Lingxi fall from the clouds, the two disciples were taken aback at first, then straightened their robes and bowed.

"I have met the immortal."

"What brings the immortal here?"

Chen Lingxi returned the greeting and said, "My name is Primordial Spirit Bearer, a disciple of True Person Xiang Shu of Deer-Sleeping Peak. I have come today to pay my respects to Daoist Qiaohe your esteemed residence."

"A disciple of True Person?" The two disciples stood at attention with respect. One of them, the older disciple, said, "Please wait a moment, Immortal. This disciple will go into the valley to inform you."

After saying this, he turned and disappeared into the array, leaving only another disciple to wait outside.

A short while later, the disciple emerged from the array, his face showing some apology. He bowed to Chen Lingxi and said:

"Immortal! My Valley Master is currently receiving a distinguished guest."

Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.

The disciple continued, "That distinguished guest is Immortal Shixi Shi Xi Azure Heaven Peak."

He is the second person on the Third Profound Ranking, and is highly respected even within the Dragon-Offering Sect.

"She has been coming here to refine medicine these past few days, and my Valley Master has been personally accompanying her."

That's why... it's inconvenient to see the senior.

"It's inconvenient to see you..."

Shi Xi?

Chen Lingxi was no stranger to this name.

In his early years, when he first Wandering Sight Divine Ability to spy on Liu Changle, he saw the Sun-Watching Peak in the scene of that Great Xuanzhuo Realm.

At that time Sun-Watching Peak was being encroached upon by Yellow Luminary Peak.

Liu Changle once mentioned that there was an old friend on Sun-Watching Peak Sun-Watching Peak grew up there and went to Heavenly Azure Inner Peak to cultivate. His name Shi Xi.

Later, Liu Changle personally went to Heavenly Azure Inner Peak to seek an audience with Shi Xi.

Hopefully, she can save Sun-Watching Peak out of consideration for their past as fellow disciples.

But on that occasion, Liu Changle did not see Shi Xi.

"But in just a few years, Shi Xi had already reached second place on the Third Profound Ranking, forcing even a Daoist master skilled in alchemy to personally accompany her."

"Second on the Third Profound Ranking, no wonder that Daoist Qiaohe values it so much."

Chen Lingxi stopped pressing the issue and simply nodded slightly to the disciple guarding the formation before asking:

"In that case, I will not disturb you further."

But when did the alchemy in the valley end?

The disciple looked troubled and shook his head, saying, "We don't know."

Chen Lingxi frowned slightly.

Just as I was pondering this, I saw the wind and clouds howling in the sky.

The once clear and cloudless sky was suddenly filled with large swaths of clouds from all directions.

The clouds surged and gathered at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had condensed into a dark cloud that blotted out the sun above Southern Luminary Peak.

Beneath the clouds, several terrifying auras slowly pressed down from the Void.

Chen Lingxi couldn't help but look up.

Beneath the dark clouds, two powerful figures stood suspended in mid-air.

A Daoist priest dressed in the style of Southern Luminary Peak, his aura was like a blazing flame, restrained yet powerful. Although he possessed elegance, he always concealed a hint of murderous intent.

It was Zhu Mi from Southern Luminary Peak.

The other was dressed in formal attire, with a long sword at his waist, and had extremely sharp features.

It was Qi Chuan Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak.

Besides them, there were several people behind each of them.

Those people were all highly skilled and possessed profound inner strength!

They stood high in the clouds, looking down at those below.

The two forces pressed down simultaneously, even more terrifying than the howling winds and clouds on the horizon just moments before.

At this moment, Qi Chuan, who was standing on the Sword-Illuminating Mystic Peak, was looking down from above, his eyes fixed on Chen Lingxi.

He spoke slowly, his voice clear and cold, echoing throughout Southern Luminary Peak.

"We met unexpectedly in the mountains; I never imagined my junior uncle would be here as well."

Chen Lingxi raised her head, met that gaze, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
