This is like someone else going to the bank to withdraw money for you; the process is incredibly complicated, especially since it's not a legitimate process. You can only secretly find ways to gradually divert the money.
But if the person in question comes and wants to take the money, it's just a matter of saying a word.
The same applies to this conceptual aggregate. Because Liu Shinian is the true owner in its eyes at this moment, it was able to extract all the original owner's will from it with a simple gesture.
Seeing the unclaimed concept before him, Li Xingkong didn't hold back.
There's still someone harassing us outside, but we can't afford to worry about that now.
With a single inhale, Li Xingkong absorbed the enormous, unclaimed concept into his own body.
Ever since he first refined the concept of Traversal and turned it into a talisman, Li Xingkong has developed a unique method for creating talismans.
Although the concept of this sword technique was completely different from that of Traversal, in Li Xingkong's hands, it was still quickly compressed and refined into a talisman.
"Are you out of your mind? This concept isn't so easy to grasp!"
Liu Shinian was stunned.
That Li Xingkong guy, how come he acts even more recklessly than her?
If the concepts within the body become chaotic, it can be extremely dangerous for an immortal.
"It's alright, I have my own methods."
Li Xingkong, and the overwhelming concept made his whole body swell up like a bubble, making him look like a pufferfish.
Calming his mind, Li Xingkong constructed a second talisman and then inserted the absorbed concept into it.
As the concept was introduced, Li Xingkong's physique gradually returned to normal.
Although Liu Shinian was sensing, he couldn't pinpoint where the concept within Li Xingkong's body had gone.
It was as if he had swallowed it whole.
Is there really a talent in this world for feeding on concepts?
Feeling the new talisman within his body, Li Xingkong slowly opened his eyes.
"So, all done?"
Liu Shinian asked, as she could already sense the surrounding spatial cage weakening; the Yiying's attack had already caused several cracks in that shell.
"I have fulfilled my mission!"
Li Xingkong nodded, then with a wave of his hand, the spatial cage dissipated.
Then, Li Xingkong imbued himself with that concept of a sword.
As the talisman connected, Li Xingkong felt an incomparably sharp power surge forth from it, as if he had transformed into a knife.
Everything in the world seems like a lump of mud before him, as if he could Severance with a mere flick of his wrist.
The concept left behind by this unknown monk is not simply the concept of a knife, but a product of the combination of two concepts.
One is a knife; the other is " to Severance ".
Li Xingkong's comparison is not surprising. Everyone's path to immortality is different, and after becoming an immortal, everyone's cultivation methods are also completely different.
The reason why people have their own concept of maintaining purity is mainly because those who are at the forefront of spiritual practice have followed this path.
If you want to catch up with those people, you have to learn their methods.
Of course, this is just a common practice, and not everyone will follow it.
The aspect that Li Xingkong absorbed, for example, combines two concepts.
However, these two concepts are quite similar.
One is a knife, a means of killing; the other is Severance, a rule of attack. When the two are combined, their power should not be underestimated.
However, for Li Xingkong, it doesn't matter what concepts are combined; once it's in his hands, it's just a tool.
"Oh, so you're not going to hide in your shell and wait to die? Good thing."
When the barrier around the two disappeared, the Yiying became more vigilant, but after repeatedly searching and finding no one, it changed its tune.
"Hurry up and give me the general idea... You little brats, where did you hide the concepts?!"
Yiying was about to say something, but he was astonished to find that the concept had vanished without a trace.
After an immortal falls, the concepts they leave behind cannot be moved unless they are completely refined and sealed into Concept Pearl.
However, refining Concept Pearl is by no means easy, and it's impossible for anyone to do it in such a short time.
Especially the two unassuming logistics staff.
Even a War Immortal isn't capable of that.
"If you want it, then come and take it yourself!"
Li Xingkong slowly reached out, grasped at the air, and a blade formed from condensed concepts appeared in his hand.
"Playing tricks."
Yiying's eyes narrowed; he sensed a familiar aura emanating from the blade.
impossible
That's absolutely impossible.
How could someone refine that concept so quickly and even integrate it into their own body?
This kind of operation definitely comes at a price; this guy is probably just putting on a brave face.
He would absolutely not be willing to leave like this.
Moreover, he couldn't explain it to the One-Eyed Saber Immortal either.
After a moment's thought, Yiying gritted her teeth, turned around, and directly approached Li Xingkong.
He spat out a short blade, unleashing an attack that was a mixture of black and dark green.
Li Xingkong did not back down. If he was previously somewhat unaware of the battles between immortals, he now had a better understanding of them.
Actually, there's no difference; it's just that the concept of restraint has been amplified infinitely under the influence of the new concept.
There is no strict hierarchy between Li Xingkong and the concept of Yiying, nor is there any inclusion or overlap. There is no restraint between them, so the fight will naturally depend on the amount of immortal energy and the skill of the fighters.
He simply had few battles with immortals, which did not mean that Li Xingkong lacked combat experience.
Without any visible movement, the longsword in his hand deflected the incoming short blade with a clang. Then, a spatial rift opened, swallowing the blade's gleam and transferring it elsewhere.
The blade light that had been moved fell to the ground, and the deep trenches that had been created by the blown-away blade flowers were now carved into a deep hole by this blade light.
Through this opening, you can even see the Cosmic Sea revealed after it was carved through.
Li Xingkong, then swung his sword and launched a counterattack.
The crescent-shaped blade of light, like a painting, swept towards the direction where Yiying was.
Yiying drew a dark green blade of light to meet the attack, but it was broken by the Severance intent in Li Xingkong's strike.
" Severance! How is that possible!"
Yiying was naturally very familiar with this kind of strike.
This strike is impossible to imitate.
Startled and suspicious, he quickly dodged the blade several times, creating distance between himself and Li Xingkong, facing each other from afar.
"You little rascal, you've got a lot of secrets."
He glanced at the short blade in his hand, then at Li Xingkong.
"Hmph, but since you've already swallowed the concept, there's no point in fighting you anymore. As for your secrets, we'll have plenty of time to deal with that in the future."
Li Xingkong didn't think his strike would cause much damage, but he didn't expect Yi Yiying to be such a decisive opponent.
"You're leaving already? I was hoping to thank you for all the hospitality you've provided over the years."
"Ha, you still can't keep me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yiying vanished without a trace.
Li Xingkong can only apply one concept at a time now; previously, he didn't have multiple concepts, so naturally, he couldn't develop the ability to use multiple concepts together.
In the time it took him to cut the talisman, the Yiying had already vanished without a trace.
Li Xingkong was still not at ease, so after switching to Traversal, he scanned the surrounding space again before leaving the combat state.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden."
Liu Shinian appeared out of nowhere.
"You're the same, I wouldn't have guessed."
Li Xingkong suddenly felt that Liu Shinian and he were actually quite a good match.
At least in the area of refining concepts, the two are a perfect match.
