Left Path Head Severing and Soul Capturing, Night Escape Through Dangerous Two Dragon Stream

The Heart-Burning Tribulation Method is a secret cultivation technique of the Xiao Family. It involves burning the heart's flame and breathing in the Samadhi True Fire. All direct descendants of the Xiao Family can use the Heart-Burning Tribulation Method to enter the True Fire Realm and awaken the Xiao Family's flame talent.

However, the drawback is also obvious: due to the restlessness of the heart's flame, Xiao Family members have a higher chance of Qi Deviation than others.

The Eighteen-Story Building Method cultivated by Xiao Zhenghe is even more extreme.

The eighteen stories correspond to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer and Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer. True Qi flows within the body, often causing riots. It must be suppressed by more powerful and purer Magical Power.

While suppressing the riots, it's like building a building, automatically advancing to a higher level. At the same time, the True Qi within the body riots again, and it is suppressed again with the power of a higher level.

The eighteen stories are built layer by layer. Finally, a Golden Core is formed with the purest Core Essence.

However, the Eighteen-Story Building Method only goes as far as the Golden Core stage.

Xiao Zhenghe cannot condense higher-level Core Essence and can only linger at the first layer of the Golden Core, in the awkward and troublesome situation of his Core Essence constantly in turmoil.

Henghua had long planned to target the Wei Family. Besides the four families of the Eastern Region encircling the Wei Family, he was also considering the movements of the three families of the Northern Region.

The Lin Family has a good relationship with the Wei Family, and the Fu Family has a good relationship with the Yang Family. To keep the three families of the Northern Region neutral, the most crucial factor is the attitude of the Xiao Family.

Henghua had specifically studied the flaws in the Heart-Burning Tribulation Method and the Eighteen-Story Building Method, two Xuan-level Techniques.

His self-created Heart Calming Incantation came about for this reason.

A Xiao Family disciple began to circulate his energy in public.

A fiery heat surged within his body, and Fu Xuanxing felt a True Fire power no less than his own.

But then, the True Fire began to riot, and the person gradually lost control. It was only when he used the Heart Calming Incantation that the flames slowly subsided and flowed back to his dantian.

"Third Uncle, its effect is better than our family's Spirit Heart Seal and Ice Heart Great Curse."

The Xiao Family naturally had methods to deal with the flaws in their own cultivation methods, but their effects were slightly inferior to the Heart Calming Incantation.

"This incantation seems to have omissions; it's incomplete."

Xiao Zhenghe looked at Henghua.

"What about the latter part of the cultivation method?"

"Grandfather mentioned it casually, and I only remember the first half."

Xiao Zhenghe stared at Fu Henghua, contemplating silently.

Their family wanted the Heavenly Demon Six Desires Pearl, intending to use this Heavenly Demon treasure to complete their own cultivation method. Jinfang, with their profound Immortal Dao, would surely have a way to eliminate their frequent Qi Deviation problem.

But if there was an opportunity right now...

At this moment, Xiao Zhenghe's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the Cai Luan Spirit Boat in the distance.

His face gradually turned grim: "Your boat is a bit too small."

"A mountain doesn't need to be high; it's famous if there's an immortal. Just like your Yuming Mountain, which appears to be just a hill covered in camellias. But with you here, it becomes the renowned Yuming Mountain Ferry."

Henghua was overjoyed inwardly: The Howling Fish is indeed effective; half the job is done!

Sensing the Golden Core aura from the Cai Luan Spirit Boat, Xiao Zhenghe fell silent.

It wasn't until someone beside him reminded him that he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's give Old Master Fu some face. Someone will contact the Fu Family about this incantation later. We'll negotiate what you want then."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhenghe surveyed the people around him.

"My family has too few women. If we were to have a marriage alliance, I could only ask for a daughter from your family. How about these nephews of mine? Are they worthy of your daughters?"

He was taking a group of his nephews and nieces to Yan Water for training. These young Xiao Family disciples were the backbone of the family for the next few hundred years.

But Henghua glanced at them casually and politely refused Xiao Zhenghe's proposal.

"My granddaughters are all more temperamental than the last. I'm afraid your virtuous nephews would suffer."

It wasn't that Henghua was spouting nonsense. Besides his sister Fu Yaozhen, which of his other sisters was easy to handle?

Fu Tongjun had talked back to his grandfather and left home in a huff; no one knew where he was now.

Fu Liuhui had only just run away a few days ago.

The remaining three young girls were also more troublesome than the last, pestering him daily for methods of rapid cultivation.

Xiao Zhenghe had only mentioned it casually. He knew that a mere junior from the Fu Family couldn't make such decisions.

After asking the three to sit for a while, he got up to see them off.

Before leaving, he specifically said to Jin Xian'e: "Fellow Daoist, you previously scared away the Lin family with your sword. They are fierce by nature and have already invited a Golden Core Grand Cultivator to seek trouble with you. You all need to be careful from now on."

He then said to Fu Henghua: "The Lin family is also related to the Wei family by marriage. They will definitely not go easy on the Fu family. Be careful yourselves."

"Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Not long after, they departed from Yuming Mountain Ferry.

"Uncle, didn't you say that the item listed in the Baiqiang black market was very suitable for our family? Why are you giving up now?"

"Old Master Fu is on the boat."

"Fu Long Sword Immortal? Isn't he nearing the end of his lifespan and hiding on Panlong Island to enjoy his old age?"

"That man lived a life of heroism; how could he hide on Panlong Island waiting to die? Besides, he has a deep-seated hatred for the Heavenly Demon Hall. How could he stand by and watch when a malevolent item like the Heavenly Demon Six Desires Pearl is involved?"

Xiao Zhenghe sighed, "Since Uncle-Master himself has come, why shouldn't we give him some face?"

The main reason was cowardice. Xiao Zhenghe knew he couldn't block a single sword strike from Fu Danwei. Since the other party was actively extending an olive branch and offering cultivation methods to help his family, why should he antagonize them and try to snatch the Heavenly Devil's treasure?

The three of them returned to the Cai Luan Spirit Boat. Heng Hua went straight to his room and saw a white-haired old man standing there.

"Young Master, can I change back now?"

"No, wait a moment. Continue impersonating Grandfather."

Spirit Painting Technique.

While conversing with Jin Xian'e, Heng Hua had kept something in mind and painted a portrait of his Grandfather.

Using this portrait to impersonate Fu Danwei and having Howling Fish activate the second Panlong Token, he revealed a trace of his aura.

With this deterrence, Heng Hua then presented the Heart Calming Incantation, which caused the Xiao Family to back down.

"However, the Lin Family at the end will be troublesome."

Heng Hua pondered for a while and could only resort to bluffing.

Not long after Fu Xiangfeng returned, the Yang Family's large ship departed and soon caught up to the Yuming Mountain Ferry.

The ferry was stopped on the water, still observing the Cai Luan Spirit Boat.

"Uncle, what exactly does your Xiao Family mean by this?"

"We still have to give face to Old Master Fu. But if the Lin Family snatches it, we can just take it from them. What about you?"

"We just want to ensure the safety of the Fu Family's group." The three sisters looked at the spirit boat, silently praying for Fu Xiangfeng.

At dusk, Heng Hua and his group arrived at an Immovable Reef closest to Erlong Stream.

Five large Lin Family ships had been waiting for a long time.

"Esteemed members of the Fu Family. You won't be leaving tonight either. Why don't we have a duel to decide the victor? If you win, I'll let you return to the Eastern Domain. If you lose, leave the Heavenly Devil's treasure behind."

A duel?

Heng Hua's spirits immediately lifted. He had Howling Fish continue impersonating Grandfather while he took Fu Xuanxing and Fu Xiangfeng over.

"Alright. It's inconvenient to travel at night. Let's rest here and decide the outcome with a wagered battle."

As he spoke, Heng Hua drew Fu Xiangfeng's sword and slashed it across his own neck, directly severing his head.

Fu Xiangfeng didn't have time to react until Heng Hua cut off his head, then he exclaimed, "Little Sixth, you—"

It hurts so much.

Heng Hua endured the pain while holding his severed head in his hands: "For the first match, we'll compete in decapitation. Whoever lasts longer in a state of decapitation wins. Friends from the Lin Family, who wants to compete?"

The head could still speak, leaving Fu Xiangfeng and Fu Xuanxing stunned.

The group from the Lin Family was also dumbfounded.

To be able to survive after severing the "Six Yang Crown" was like a method used by Golden Core Cultivators!

Lin Yuanchang's eyelids twitched: "Head Severing and Yang Closing Technique?"

"We'll have seven matches in total. I've set the first one, and the second is for you. For the third, I want to compete in summoning rain. The fourth is also for you."

Heng Hua held his head, and the head leisurely said, "For the fifth match, we'll count rice. For the sixth, you can choose anything – divination, medicine, alchemy, talismans, or formations. For the seventh... you are the hosts, and I am the guest. I'll set one more match, we'll compete in Spiritual God Egress. Esteemed Golden Core Senior of the Lin Family, what do you say?"

On the ship, the Lin Family members remained silent for a long time.

Lin Yuanchang slowly said, "Very well. Tonight, our Lin Family will accompany you."

Sensing Fu Danwei's aura, this Golden Core Great Cultivator was unwilling to completely sever ties. However, Heng Hua's act of decapitating himself at the start...

Seeing that Heng Hua could still joke with his companion, he looked at the Lin Family members beside him.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators, one by one, quietly retreated.

They truly wouldn't survive being decapitated.

Lin Yuanchang sighed: "This is a Left Path Technique. I know how to use it too, but as a dignified Golden Core Cultivator, it's not appropriate for me to bully the young. Fine. Since it's not dark yet, I'll go invite a few people. You entertain the Fu Family members and don't let them leave."

With that, the cultivator's Yin God departed and returned to the Lin Family to find people.

The Lin Family disciples pushed the responsibility among themselves, and finally, someone came out to entertain them.

Heng Hua reattached his head: "You people are too slow. It's just a decapitation, and you still need to call for reinforcements?"

The Lin Family members quickly put on smiles and invited everyone to rest on the Immovable Reef.

Heng Hua gazed at the changes in the spiritual energy above the Lin Family's ships, knowing that the Lin Family's Golden Core Senior had used Spiritual God Egress.

Therefore, he secretly transmitted his voice to Heng Shou and Fu Heyi.

"Listen to my command later, and we'll charge directly into Erlong Stream."

"Young Master wants to travel at night?"

"You want to travel at night?"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Father came to Erlong Stream back then, and I know the tricks of this place. I'll guide you through the voyage."

After passing Erlong Stream tonight, we can reach Buried Turtle Reef by tomorrow morning.

Heng Hua pretended to board the reef, secretly activating the "Mirage Illusion Method." Combined with the gradually rising twilight mist, it enveloped the entire Immovable Reef.

"Go!"

Fu Heyi threw out the formation flags, and the Spirit Boat instantly accelerated. Fu Xiangfeng used "Blowing Snow" to cleave several of the opponent's large ships, blocking the pursuers.

The currents were swift, and Eternal Longevity steered with all its might, leaping forward through the rapids.

"Steer right!"

Heng Hua activated the Spiritual Inspiration Connecting to Divinity technique and Tianyi Arithmetic.

"There are submerged reefs below. Go left, avoid them."

"Watch out for the undertow."

As Heng Hua spoke, they kept an eye on their rear.

Jin Xian'e personally took action, directly shaving off the mountaintops of Erlong Stream, cutting off their path forward.

"Full speed ahead, we must get through tonight."

Heng Hua knew that the final stretch of enemies should be at Erlong Stream.

Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, Immortals and Devils fought here. According to father, that Devil was from the Heavenly Devil lineage.
