"By the way, where did you hide just now?"
Li Xingkong didn't even notice that Liu Shinian had vanished the moment the barrier was lifted; even Li Xingkong hadn't noticed where she had gone.
"Hehe, well..."
Liu Shinian smiled slyly.
"I am the wind!"
She only said one sentence: before Li Xingkong, she had vanished without a trace.
From any perspective, in the place where Liu Shinian was, there was only a wisp of wind blowing, and she could not be seen at all.
"I am the cloud!"
A voice came from where the gentle breeze was blowing, and then a cloud appeared out of nowhere in the sky.
Then the clouds dispersed, Liu Shinian's figure reappeared in front of Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong truly hadn't expected that a mere Lies could be used in this way.
"How about that? My method was pretty good, wasn't it?"
Liu Shinian laughed, his face full of pride.
"Indeed amazing, but is this Lies can accomplish?"
Li Xingkong couldn't understand.
"How can it not count? Lies can deceive people, so they can deceive everything. I merely deceived the concept of 'wind and clouds,' making them believe that I was one of them. That way, I naturally wouldn't be discovered."
Liu Shinian's methods are indeed something to be proud of.
The cultivation of immortals lies in two aspects: the accumulation of Immortal Power and the application and study of the concepts they have mastered.
For example, the Severance Thought that Li Xingkong just obtained, such as the knife handle, can only be integrated into the blade to enhance its killing power. However, if someone who has successfully researched it were to use it, a single strike could Severance the opponent's past and future, and even Severance their cause and effect.
Even a War Immortal needs a mindset of diligent study and contemplation.
Li Xingkong thought about his own Traversal again. At present, it was only a superficial application. It could be used to Traversal space for convenient movement. If he were to improve it further, Traversal time and space based on this concept would not be difficult.
"But what do we do now? The concept is gone. Have we managed to get this sorted out or not?"
With the threat gone, Liu Shinian couldn't help but ponder.
"Seriously, can you even come up with that concept?"
Li Xingkong glanced at the talisman floating inside his body. He had already refined it; how could he possibly hand it over now?
Seeing that Li Xingkong did not answer, Liu Shinian had already guessed what was going on.
"Then there's no other way but to deal with that Fairy Qingjue. If she's easy to talk to, our mission will be accomplished."
"Fellow Daoist, Qingjue, why go to such lengths! That concept is useless to us; just take it!"
Before Li Xingkong could reply, Fairy Qingjue had already overheard Liu Shinian's words.
After the Yiying withdrew, it naturally didn't abandon them to their deaths. It activated its concept and teleported the One-Eyed Saber Immortal and the others out.
Although the formation was powerful, it would still take some effort to wear them down.
Having learned from Yiying that the concept had already been refined by a mere youth, there was no need to continue the battle. The One-Eyed Saber Immortal and his companions merely uttered a few harsh words before hastily departing.
Qingjue and his companions were already evenly matched with them, so it was unlikely they could hold them back. Moreover, they had Qingjue heard what Yiying said. Someone had refined that concept, so naturally they wanted to investigate.
"Hiss... When did this happen?!"
Liu Shinian's face flushed red instantly, and she hid behind Li Xingkong. She hadn't even noticed when these people had arrived.
"This concept was originally the fairy's spoils of war; it was indeed wrong of us to take it without permission."
Li Xingkong was quite sincere; he accepted what he had taken and would consider how to compensate later.
"It's fine if you take this concept, but absorbing such a complicated concept rashly might cut off your own path to enlightenment. Fellow Daoist, could you demonstrate it for me so I can take a look?"
Losing a concept isn't a big deal, but the main problem is that Li Xingkong absorption of it could indeed bring him some hidden dangers.
After Li Xingkong decided to abandon the concept of a swordsman and instead unleash his true nature.
Compared to Liu Shinian's shameful secrets, Li Xingkong's skills weren't anything to hide; he was just more low-key and didn't publicize them much.
Otherwise, if he invoked the name of the Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao, he could move freely in and out of this battlefield, and ninety-nine percent of the True Immortal would have to give the Yuanjun some face.
Seeing Li Xingkong's conceptual attire, the others didn't seem to notice anything, but Qingjue's eyes lit up immediately.
While he wasn't familiar with the others, Qingjue had fought with the knife handle for a long time, so he was naturally very familiar with the concept.
If the little guy in front of her hadn't actually been one of her own, she would have thought he was the reincarnation of the Knife Handle.
"Truly wondrous! Truly wondrous!"
Qingjue couldn't help but exclaim "Good!" a few times.
Then she scrutinized Li Xingkong for a moment longer before asking a question.
"May we ask your name, fellow Daoist, and from whom you studied? Such methods are truly wondrous. Once we leave this Era of Chaos, we will certainly pay you a visit."
"My name is Li Xingkong, and my master Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao. If any of you have time, you are welcome to come to the Hall of Seeking the Dao for a chat."
Upon hearing this, not only were Qingjue and the other two stunned, but even Liu Shinian's eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Please... it's actually the Yuanjun's seat! I'm truly blind to her Mount Tai!"
Qingjue and the others exchanged glances, then descended from the clouds, bowing slightly below Li Xingkong Li Xingkong giving him a proper salute.
Li Xingkong had never seen anything like this before. It was the first time he had realized that the name of the Yuanjun was so powerful.
"How can you seniors do this? In this Era of Chaos, you are the main force."
"Of course it is! Yuanjun's Hall of Seeking the Dao paves the way for cultivators throughout the world. How could it not be allowed? As Yuanjun's disciple, you are naturally entitled to it!"
The significance of the Hall of Seeking the Dao to the entire Jade Void Palace is clearly not limited to just an Immortal Ascension Register and an early education machine.
Seeking the Dao, Seeking the Dao, its role is naturally to pave the way for cultivators and to establish the Dharma for all beings.
Strictly speaking, it is the celestial version of the chief academy of sciences, and everything it researches can truly benefit everyone.
"Since this concept has fallen into your hands, its usefulness is naturally beyond question!"
Great! This thing was originally destined to be stored away in the Immortal Artifact Warehouse for the rest of its life, but now it's earned a favor from the Hall of Hall of Seeking the Dao. This is truly a windfall.
"So, this task..."
Liu Shinian was only stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.
"Of course there's no need to worry. I will explain to General Huang myself!"
Fairy Qingjue readily accepted.
What a joke! What mission? This is just a way to get some prestige. So what if we don't get anything?
"Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Xiao Li, if we had known you had this background, we wouldn't have even bothered with the mission. We could have just gone out and had some fun!"
Liu Shinian looked on with envy, but it doesn't seem too late now.
