Chapter 180: Meeting True Lord Tiansheng Again, Ji Qing Suppresses With One Punch!
“Hmm? Fellow Daoist Baoyue has already refined the Immortal Mansion?”
Ji Qing was a little surprised.
Wasn’t it said to take at least a few months?
True Monarch Baoyue shook her head and said, “I’ve just received my Master’s legacy and have preliminary control over the Immortal Mansion. To completely refine the Xuling Immortal Mansion will still take several months.”
“However, Fellow Daoist Ji, please wait a few more months. Once I’ve refined the Immortal Mansion, I will use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to help you search for the remaining fragments.”
True Monarch Baoyue appeared sincere and earnest.
As for damaging her Nascent Soul?
True Monarch Baoyue naturally knew, but Ji Qing had helped her a lot before, and it was with Ji Qing’s help that she was able to pass the third trial for the Immortal Mansion.
Therefore, what was the harm in using the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to search for the Five Elements Void Sacred Law fragments?
“We’ll discuss this later. Fellow Daoist Baoyue should first refine the Immortal Mansion.”
“Alright.”
True Monarch Baoyue no longer hesitated; refining the Immortal Mansion was now her top priority!
While True Monarch Baoyue was refining the Immortal Mansion, Ji Qing was not idle.
Apart from occasionally discussing the Martial Way with Jiao Ling, or learning about the Outer Domain, Ji Qing went to sweep through the sea areas around the island.
If the demons within a hundred miles were all wiped out, then he would go two hundred, three hundred miles.
There were countless demons in the sea area, an inexhaustible number.
Ji Qing also wanted to accumulate a large amount of Origin Points as quickly as possible.
After all, once he advanced to Martial Saint, every improvement to his martial arts would cost 100,000 Origin Points.
If he didn’t accumulate more Origin Points now, he would be in trouble if he didn’t have enough when he truly needed them later.
Ji Qing was also focusing on “unlocking” the Heavenly Mandate Lock.
Ji Qing had also asked Jiao Ling, indirectly inquiring about “Heavenly Mandate Locks” or similar items.
But Jiao Ling shook its head.
It mentioned “Domain Power,” which was a realm that only “Heavenly Talents” could venture into.
For those who were not Heavenly Talents, even improving their own cultivation was an arduous process that required all their energy; where would they have the energy to comprehend any Domain?
Moreover, Domains had nothing to do with breakthroughs in cultivation.
Only truly top-tier Heavenly Talents could comprehend Domains and have the energy to do so.
However, Domains placed too much emphasis on comprehension.
There were no fixed cultivation techniques either.
It was entirely dependent on talent.
Hearing this, Ji Qing placed even more importance on the “Heavenly Mandate Lock.”
Clearly, this “Heavenly Mandate Lock” was extraordinary, its importance exceeding Ji Qing’s own speculations.
After all, with just one level of the “Heavenly Mandate Lock” unlocked, the Domain could directly improve.
How terrifying was that?
Even Jiao Ling had never heard of it.
Therefore, Ji Qing would continue to research the Heavenly Mandate Lock.
Especially since Ji Qing had been unable to complete the unlocking of the third level of the Heavenly Mandate Lock for a long time.
Once completed, his Domain would likely reach perfection.
However, the third level of the Heavenly Mandate Lock was very difficult.
But fortunately, Ji Qing was improving every day.
With continuous progress, one day he would be able to unlock the third level of the Heavenly Mandate Lock.
Five months passed in a flash.
One day, Ji Qing had just returned to the island from the sea area.
Before he could enter the Immortal Mansion, he saw it shaking violently.
“Buzz.”
After shaking violently, the Immortal Mansion rapidly shrank and finally disappeared as a stream of light.
In the original location of the Immortal Mansion, a figure appeared.
It was none other than True Monarch Baoyue!
“Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Baoyue, on successfully refining the Immortal Mansion. With this Immortal Mansion, your immortal path will surely be smoother, and Deity Transformation is within reach!”
Ji Qing congratulated True Monarch Baoyue.
This Immortal Mansion was a Supreme Treasure.
Far exceeding ordinary Magic Treasures.
Not only was its defensive power terrifying, but even Deity Transformation Divine Lords could not contend with it.
It could also form its own space for cultivation within, essentially a mobile Cave Dwelling.
And it had various other marvelous uses.
With this Immortal Mansion, True Monarch Baoyue should not face too many difficulties until Deity Transformation.
This was indeed a great Opportunity.
“Hahaha, it’s all thanks to Fellow Daoist Ji; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to obtain this Immortal Mansion.”
True Monarch Baoyue was also very happy.
As the master of the Immortal Mansion, she naturally knew how powerful it was.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, who exactly was the owner of this Immortal Mansion? Why do I feel that the owner should be more than just a Deity Transformation Divine Lord…”
Ji Qing couldn’t help but ask.
The wonders of the Xuling Immortal Mansion far surpassed ordinary Magic Treasures. Could a Deity Transformation Divine Lord possess such a powerful Supreme Treasure?
True Monarch Baoyue did not hesitate and answered directly, “I only found out after refining the Immortal Mansion. The owner of the Immortal Mansion, my Master whom I’ve never met, is ‘Xuling Venerable.’ Master was a Tribulation Crossing cultivator from the Outer Domain. Because he failed his Tribulation Crossing and was pursued by enemies, he came to the Barren Domain and passed away there.”
“Tribulation Crossing cultivator?”
Ji Qing had never heard of this cultivation realm.
True Monarch Baoyue explained, “In the Immortal Path System, above Deity Transformation are Void Glimpse, Refining Void, Body Integration, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana. Xuling Venerable was a Tribulation Crossing cultivator. Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivators are very special and need to endure Heavenly Tribulations. Each time they endure a Heavenly Tribulation, their strength increases, and their Primordial Spirit, Nascent Soul, and body undergo a qualitative transformation. If they cannot endure it, they will perish.”
“Master failed his Tribulation Crossing. He barely managed to save his life, but was still pursued by enemies, ultimately leading to his death.”
Ji Qing understood.
It was the first time he had learned that there were so many realms above Deity Transformation.
And in the Barren Domain, Deity Transformation was the highest existence.
As for Void Glimpse?
There were probably none in the Barren Domain.
Perhaps there were some in the Central Region, but they would be exceedingly rare.
Only the Outer Domain was a world of cultivation.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, I have learned the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique, and I can now track the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment you hold.”
True Monarch Baoyue said seriously.
She was not joking or speaking casually.
She knew Ji Qing had the Five Elements Dao Body, so this Five Elements Guixu Sacred Law must be extremely important to him.
After all, True Monarch Baoyue was aware of the reputation of the former Guixu Great Sage.
This was a top-tier cultivation technique at the Martial Saint level.
Only by cultivating such a technique could Ji Qing’s future Martial Way path extend further.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, you can use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique, but not now.”
“Not now?”
“Yes. And tracking the remaining fragments, who knows how many times it will take? If it requires many attempts, your Nascent Soul won’t be able to withstand it. Therefore, let’s change our approach. We’ll go to Tiansheng Kingdom, find an item normally used by True Lord Tiansheng, and then use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to locate True Lord Tiansheng.”
“Then we’ll teach the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to True Lord Tiansheng. If he wants to live, he’ll have to use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique obediently. Even if his Nascent Soul is damaged, it will be True Lord Tiansheng’s damage, not ours.”
Ji Qing’s words made True Monarch Baoyue’s eyes light up.
Yes, any Nascent Soul True Monarch could use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.
Why should she suffer?
Since True Lord Tiansheng had offended them, he had to pay the price.
Having True Lord Tiansheng use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to help track the remaining fragments of the Five Elements Guixu Sacred Law was the best choice.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, defeating True Lord Tiansheng is not difficult, but when it comes to Nascent Soul Evasion Techniques, my speed cannot match. And my Domain is not yet perfected, making it difficult to restrict his Evasion Technique. So, at that time, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to use the Immortal Mansion to suppress True Lord Tiansheng.”
Ji Qing was very clear that his current Strength was very high.
It might be easy for him to kill True Lord Tiansheng with one punch.
But to capture True Lord Tiansheng alive in one go was almost impossible.
He couldn’t stop the opponent’s Evasion Technique.
It would be different if he had the Xuling Immortal Mansion.
Once the Immortal Mansion suppressed the area, even the Evasion Techniques of a Nascent Soul cultivator would be useless.
“Alright, as long as we find True Lord Tiansheng, I can use the Immortal Mansion to suppress an area of ten miles. True Lord Tiansheng’s Evasion Techniques will be ineffective.”
True Monarch Baoyue said confidently.
“Good, then let’s go to Tiansheng City first.”
Ji Qing no longer wanted to stay in the sea area.
His objective had been achieved.
After these five months of intense harvesting, his Origin Points had exceeded five million!
This was an extremely exaggerated number.
With so many Origin Points, it was enough for Ji Qing to cultivate all the way to Martial God.
It was even enough for Martial Saint.
“Let’s go!”
Ji Qing immediately transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky with True Monarch Baoyue.
A few hours later, Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue arrived at Tiansheng City again.
Compared to the last time, Tiansheng City had not changed much.
True Monarch Baoyue immediately scanned with her Spiritual Sense.
She did not detect any trace of True Lord Tiansheng.
“This True Lord Tiansheng is quite cautious. After such a long time, he hasn’t even returned. Has he truly abandoned Tiansheng Kingdom entirely? This is the nation he established.”
True Monarch Baoyue was somewhat surprised.
She had to admire True Lord Tiansheng’s decisiveness.
If True Lord Tiansheng had returned, she wouldn’t even need to use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique this time.
True Monarch Baoyue’s unrestrained use of her Spiritual Sense had already alerted the cultivators of Tiansheng City.
However, upon seeing True Monarch Baoyue and Ji Qing, they were all shaken.
“It’s these two again, they’ve returned.”
“Last time they dug up the Spirit Vein and plundered the Imperial Family’s Martial Arts Library. What are they here for this time?”
“One True Monarch Baoyue, and Ji Qing, who possesses Martial Saint combat power. How can our Tiansheng Kingdom withstand such turmoil?”
The Emperor of Tiansheng Kingdom was trembling.
He didn’t even dare to show himself.
He was afraid that if the two powerful cultivators couldn’t find the Old Ancestor of Tiansheng, they would vent their anger on him.
However, this time, the two powerful cultivators had no intention of venting their anger.
True Monarch Baoyue made a grab with her hand.
She pulled out a large pile of items normally used by True Lord Tiansheng from the Imperial Palace.
Such as clothes.
They still retained True Lord Tiansheng’s aura.
“Let’s use this piece of clothing.”
True Monarch Baoyue immediately performed the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.
“Buzz.”
True Monarch Baoyue’s Nascent Soul formed hand seals.
A beam of white light enveloped the clothing.
True Monarch Baoyue was carefully sensing the results provided by the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.
“Hmm?”
“The sensation is a bit blurry, indicating that True Lord Tiansheng has escaped beyond ten thousand miles. However, even from beyond ten thousand miles, there’s still a blurry sensation, so we can roughly tell which direction he’s in.”
True Monarch Baoyue opened her eyes.
Her Nascent Soul had indeed become a bit weak.
Just performing the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique once had caused some damage to her Nascent Soul.
If she performed it repeatedly, the damage would be even greater.
“Let’s go!”
Ji Qing did not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed towards the direction of True Lord Tiansheng indicated by the sensing, along with True Monarch Baoyue.
The sensing might be blurry ten thousand miles away, but within ten thousand miles, the sensation would be very clear.
True Lord Tiansheng, you cannot escape!
…
Yanshan Lake, a thousand miles of clear waves.
Fishermen were fishing on the lake, occasionally singing folk songs.
Although life was difficult, Yanshan Lake had abundant fish, and the fishermen’s lives were much better than in other places.
But no one knew that at the bottom of Yanshan Lake, there was a Water Mansion.
In the water mansion, there was a Nascent Soul True Monarch, who was none other than True Lord Tiansheng.
“Swish.”
True Lord Tiansheng opened his eyes.
He had been hiding in the water mansion to heal his injuries recently.
His injuries had only just about recovered.
But True Lord Tiansheng had not relaxed his vigilance regarding external intelligence at all.
“True Monarch Baoyue, Ji Qing…”
True Lord Tiansheng actually harbored no hatred in his heart.
It was simply the law of the jungle, the victor takes all.
He had experienced it long ago.
Moreover, he was the one who had initiated the move on Tianbao Kingdom, so he was not surprised that True Monarch Baoyue and Ji Qing had attacked Tiansheng Kingdom.
He had already received news that the spirit veins underground in Tiansheng City had been dug away by True Monarch Baoyue, and a large collection of books from the imperial family’s martial arts library had also been taken by Ji Qing.
The current Tiansheng Kingdom relied solely on his past reputation.
If he didn’t show himself for a long time, the entire Tiansheng Kingdom might rapidly decline, and even be destroyed.
However, what if the kingdom was destroyed?
True Lord Tiansheng could create Tiansheng Kingdom with his own hands, so he could also create other kingdoms.
And when he first created Tiansheng Kingdom, it was merely to help himself accumulate some cultivation supplies.
After all, he was a rogue cultivator who had stumbled upon an opportunity and did not wish to join any sects or prominent families, so he had to create his own kingdom.
But now, Tiansheng Kingdom had become a burden to him.
It should be decisively abandoned!
“Never mind, once my injuries are fully recovered, I will go to the Southern Region. It is said to be more chaotic there, and it won’t be difficult for me to secretly establish another force then.”
True Lord Tiansheng made up his mind.
He couldn’t afford to offend Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue, but he could evade them.
He was not seeking a contest of strength at this moment.
If he had the hope of breaking through to Spirit Transformation in the future, then he would settle accounts with Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue.
If he couldn’t break through, then he would stay as far away as possible, detour whenever he saw them, and never think of revenge.
It was precisely because of such meticulous thinking, the ability to bend and adapt, that True Lord Tiansheng was able to reach this stage, achieving Nascent Soul as a rogue cultivator, which was extremely difficult even with opportunities.
Thus, True Lord Tiansheng once again entered seclusion, striving to fully recover his injuries.
Just as True Lord Tiansheng was in seclusion recuperating, two streaks of light arrived above Yanshan Lake.
Two figures, a man and a woman, appeared within the streaks of light.
They appeared like celestial beings, captivating the fishermen.
However, they knew that these were “cultivators,” celestial beings high above.
The arrivals were, of course, Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue.
Upon reaching the sky above Yanshan Lake, True Monarch Baoyue stopped.
She immediately unleashed her spiritual sense, searching every inch of the area around Yanshan Lake.
“Hmm? Nothing?”
True Monarch Baoyue frowned.
How could there be nothing?
The Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique would not be wrong; True Lord Tiansheng should be in this vicinity.
It was just that for some unknown reason, the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique could only sense a general area.
It could not pinpoint a specific location.
Either a Magic Treasure.
Or a Formation.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, are you sure it’s around here?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Yes, it’s around here! But I’ve searched within a radius of dozens of miles with my spiritual sense and found nothing.”
Ji Qing fell into thought.
His gaze fell upon the shimmering, rippling Yanshan Lake.
Ji Qing immediately thought of Yunmeng Goddess from back then.
Didn’t she have a water mansion in the lake?
It was highly likely that True Lord Tiansheng also had a water mansion in Yanshan Lake.
Seeing Ji Qing’s gaze, True Monarch Baoyue also reacted.
“At the bottom of the lake?”
Ji Qing nodded.
“If it’s at the bottom of the lake, then it’s a bit troublesome. My Immortal Mansion cannot cover the entirety of Yanshan Lake.”
“It’s nothing, just a mere Yanshan Lake.”
Ji Qing took a deep breath.
“Buzz.”
The next moment, seven divine spirit phantoms appeared above Ji Qing’s head.
The divine spirits were towering and immense, exuding a powerful aura.
At the same time, Ji Qing’s physical body also erupted.
The Five Prisons Samsara Saint Body could control the Power of the Five Elements.
And Yanshan Lake below was also water of the Five Elements, ordinary water, just in a larger “quantity.”
What difficulty would this pose to Ji Qing’s Five Prisons Samsara Saint Body?
Ji Qing immediately used the power of his Five Prisons Samsara Saint Body. He hugged the Yanshan Lake below with both hands as if to lift the entire lake.
“Rise!”
With Ji Qing’s loud shout.
The vast waters of Yanshan Lake were actually lifted by an invisible force, suspended in the void.
As for the fishermen in Yanshan Lake.
True Person Baoyue waved her hand.
A gust of strong wind blew, sweeping the fishermen and their boats to the shore, where they landed safely without any injury.
The fishermen quickly kowtowed: “Thank you, immortal…”
Those who witnessed this scene, whether cultivators or ordinary people, were filled with immense shock.
It was an entire lake.
How could anyone possess such Great Power to physically lift the entire Yanshan Lake into the air?
What sort of Great Power was this?
“Who is it? Such Great Power, is it a Nascent Soul or a Martial Saint?”
“There are two figures in the void, one emitting a light and ethereal aura, likely a Nascent Soul True Monarch. The other figure emits a surging aura of blood and qi, likely a Martial Saint. Only a Martial Saint could possess such Great Power, to physically lift the entire Yanshan Lake.”
“But what do they want to do?”
“Is there a Treasure in Yanshan Lake?”
Many people did not know what Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue were doing.
Yanshan Lake was not a famous mountain or great river.
Nor did it hold any treasures.
Why would it cause a Nascent Soul and a Martial Saint to go to such great lengths?
However, with such a grand display, the two naturally had a harvest.
Once the entire Yanshan Lake was “lifted,” the objects at the bottom of the lake became clearly visible.
True Monarch Baoyue’s spiritual sense swept over, and she immediately sensed a water mansion at the bottom of the lake.
“It really is at the bottom of Yanshan Lake!”
True Monarch Baoyue immediately locked onto the water mansion at the lake’s bottom.
True Lord Tiansheng had also sensed the changes outside.
When he saw that it was Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue, his expression changed drastically.
Especially with Ji Qing “lifting” the entire Yanshan Lake, his aura was far beyond what it was before, making True Lord Tiansheng feel uneasy.
Therefore, he immediately used an Evasion Technique, preparing to escape from the Yanshan Lake water mansion.
As for fighting Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue?
He lacked that kind of courage.
But how could True Monarch Baoyue let True Lord Tiansheng use an Evasion Technique to escape?
“Buzz.”
The Immortal Mansion instantly flew out from True Monarch Baoyue’s brow.
At the same time, the Immortal Mansion’s light spread out in all directions.
An area of dozens of miles was enveloped by the Immortal Mansion.
True Lord Tiansheng’s Evasion Technique had just been activated, but it had no effect.
His previously incredibly fast Evasion Technique was now silent.
“Magic Treasure?”
True Lord Tiansheng knew he was in trouble.
Big trouble.
If his Evasion Technique couldn’t be used, then he would fly using Magic!
True Lord Tiansheng immediately soared into the sky, leaving the water mansion.
But immediately, a terrifying aura locked onto him.
“Boom.”
Ji Qing made his move.
He unleashed a punch.
The seven divine spirits above his head roared.
Lightning flashed and crackled with this punch, reaching True Lord Tiansheng in an instant.
“Ah…”
True Lord Tiansheng screamed.
The Power of Thunder Tribulation struck his body. His Physical Body could not compare to Ji Qing’s!
As the Power of Thunder Tribulation entered his body, he immediately fell from the sky.
Fortunately, his Nascent Soul activated in time.
But even so, True Lord Tiansheng’s Physical Body was injured, and severely so.
True Lord Tiansheng was utterly horrified.
He couldn’t resist.
He simply couldn’t resist!
Moreover, this was merely a distant strike of lightning power.
Ji Qing’s punch was already rushing towards him.
“Crack.”
The inner armor on True Lord Tiansheng’s body instantly tore apart.
This was a genuine Magic Treasure.
And it was a true defensive Magic Treasure.
Yet it couldn’t withstand a single punch, shattering into pieces and being completely destroyed.
Terrifying!
It was truly terrifying!
True Lord Tiansheng had fought Ji Qing before.
But when had Ji Qing become so terrifying?
The Might of this punch even landed on him.
His physical body trembled violently, terrifying lightning power erupted, and even his Nascent Soul felt like it was being torn apart.
Then, Ji Qing’s large hand grabbed, directly capturing True Lord Tiansheng.
True Lord Tiansheng, a dignified Nascent Soul True Monarch, was actually caught by Ji Qing, a mere Heavenly Human, with no ability to resist.
But True Lord Tiansheng was not angry; instead, he was extremely terrified.
He had already sensed that Ji Qing was no longer the same as before.
That single punch alone could have killed him.
A single punch to instantly kill him.
Ji Qing was still a Heavenly Human?
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, Fellow Daoist Ji, we have no insurmountable conflicts, nor any irreconcilable hatred. Please spare this old Daoist…”
True Lord Tiansheng could bend and adapt.
Even though he had become a Nascent Soul True Monarch over the years and was accustomed to being high and mighty.
But now, facing a life-or-death crisis, True Lord Tiansheng became honest.
It was merely a matter of losing face and lowering his pride.
True Lord Tiansheng was very familiar with this approach!
Seeing True Lord Tiansheng beg for mercy, True Monarch Baoyue was somewhat surprised.
She had expected to have to use some methods, but she didn’t expect True Lord Tiansheng to beg for mercy so quickly.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, do you have any methods for tracking?”
“I do!”
True Monarch Baoyue had received much legacy from the Immortal Mansion.
Naturally, she knew such minor magic.
Thus, a stream of magic power was infused into True Lord Tiansheng’s body.
Although it was just a minor magic technique, it could locate True Lord Tiansheng. Even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would not be able to remove it in a short time.
If True Lord Tiansheng were to escape, then True Monarch Baoyue and Ji Qing would definitely be able to pursue him.
Therefore, Ji Qing let go of True Lord Tiansheng.
True Lord Tiansheng was also honest now, not daring to use any evasion techniques.
The Immortal Mansion was still shrouded around them; even if he wanted to use evasion techniques, it would be useless.
“True Lord Tiansheng, if you can help us with one matter, then we will forget about your previous attack on Fellow Daoist Baoyue. From now on, we will mind our own business, and we will let you leave.”
Ji Qing said calmly.
True Lord Tiansheng also understood that Ji Qing’s tone was gentle, as if he were negotiating with him.
But was it truly a negotiation?
He no longer had a choice.
“May I ask, Fellow Daoist Ji, Fellow Daoist Baoyue, what exactly is this matter?”
“It’s very simple, help us track down an item. You only need to cultivate the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.”
True Monarch Baoyue directly transmitted the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to True Lord Tiansheng.
After a careful examination, True Lord Tiansheng realized that this was not an easy task.
Past grudges were wiped clean, and he was even given a mystical magic technique.
Where in the sky would such a good thing fall into one’s lap?
This required a price to be paid!
Each time the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique was used, his Nascent Soul would be damaged.
Although it could recover later, it would take time.
Moreover, if he used it too many times in actual combat, it would inevitably harm his foundation.
It was no wonder that True Monarch Baoyue herself was a Nascent Soul True Monarch and did not use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.
So, it was a self-harming magic technique.
But what could he do?
Refuse?
Ji Qing could probably shatter him with a single punch.
This was by no means an exaggeration.
Facing Ji Qing, True Lord Tiansheng felt a sense of heart palpitations.
This showed how terrifying Ji Qing was now.
“It’s a deal! This old man will use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to help you find what you desire. After it’s done, let this old man leave!”
“Agreed.”
Ji Qing agreed.
True Lord Tiansheng was a man who could bend and stretch; he was indeed a character.
But since the other party was willing to use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique, all grudges would be settled once it was done.
In truth, there were no real grudges between them to begin with.
It was entirely True Lord Tiansheng’s own doing.
Now that he had fallen into this situation, True Lord Tiansheng had nothing to say.
Besides, his Nascent Soul was only damaged; being able to stay alive was already a great fortune.
“What are you looking for?”
Ji Qing took out a Guixu Sacred Law Fragment.
“It’s this fragment, and there are other fragments scattered around that need to be retrieved.”
Ji Qing was not afraid of True Lord Tiansheng knowing he was searching for the Five Elements Void Sacred Law.
He was a Heavenly Human; what was wrong with searching for a top-tier Martial Saint Cultivation Technique?
This was completely normal.
As long as one had sufficient strength, there were no problems.
Clearly, Ji Qing’s current strength was enough to protect the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment.
“Five Elements Void Sacred Law? So that’s how it is… that means, Fellow Daoist Ji, you have the Five Elements Dao Body? Cultivating the technique of that Guixu Great Sage is indeed fitting…”
True Lord Tiansheng understood.
The Guixu Great Sage’s reputation had long been spread throughout the Barren Domain.
His fame was immense.
Naturally, the Five Elements Void Sacred Law also had a great reputation.
Unfortunately, ever since the Guixu Great Sage died, no one had obtained the Five Elements Void Sacred Law. This Divine Skill was suspected to be lost. He didn’t expect Ji Qing to now have a fragment of the Five Elements Void Sacred Law.
He even needed him to use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique to find other fragments, thereby obtaining the complete Five Elements Void Sacred Law.
Now that he knew Ji Qing’s objective, True Lord Tiansheng was relieved.
As long as he could help Ji Qing find the other fragments of the Five Elements Void Sacred Law, his grudges with Ji Qing would be settled.
With this thought, True Lord Tiansheng immediately began to use the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique.
“Hum.”
An invisible wave spread out from True Lord Tiansheng’s body in all directions.
“Swish.”
True Lord Tiansheng’s eyes snapped open.
“There are two vague sensations. One sensation is very strong, and it should be within ten thousand miles. The other sensation is very vague, and it should be beyond ten thousand miles.”
True Lord Tiansheng said.
“Two sensations?”
Ji Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s go towards the direction of the strong sensation first.”
“Alright.”
True Lord Tiansheng immediately took the lead, with Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue following behind.
True Lord Tiansheng also used an evasion technique, and the three of them arrived at the foot of a mountain in just a few hours.
On the mountain was a martial arts sect.
Ji Qing looked at the martial arts sect on the mountain, and a peculiar expression flickered across his face.
“Guixu Sect?”
“True Lord Tiansheng, did you really sense a fragment within the Guixu Sect?”
Ji Qing asked.
“Yes, the sensation is very strong, there’s no mistake.”
True Lord Tiansheng said with a firm tone.
His senses would not be wrong.
If he was mistaken, then the technique itself must have a problem.
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This Guixu Sect was the only Orthodox Lineage passed down by the Guixu Great Sage in the past.
Even Martial Saints had personally searched the Guixu Sect up and down before.
Furthermore, more than one Martial Saint had come to search.
But they found nothing.
He didn’t expect that True Lord Tiansheng would now sense that a Guixu Sacred Law Fragment was within the Guixu Sect.
Did the Guixu Sect know about it but intentionally not reveal it, or were they themselves unaware of the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment?
However, regardless of which scenario it was, it didn’t matter anymore.
Ji Qing only wanted the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment.
“True Lord Tiansheng, go to the Guixu Sect and retrieve the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment.”
Ji Qing said.
“This old man goes to retrieve it?”
“Yes, you go retrieve it. We are disciples of the Wind Thunder Sect, after all. It’s not convenient for us to handle such matters personally. Besides, you are a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and the Guixu Sect, at most, has Heavenly Humans. How could they stop you?”
True Lord Tiansheng saw that Ji Qing didn’t seem to be joking.
Finally, True Lord Tiansheng gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, this old man will go retrieve it…”
With that, True Lord Tiansheng transformed into a beam of light and shot straight towards the Guixu Sect on the mountaintop.
True Monarch Baoyue, on the other hand, looked at Ji Qing with some surprise.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, I didn’t expect you to consider the influence of the sect?”
This truly surprised True Monarch Baoyue.
In fact, even if they, as Wind Thunder Sect disciples, had directly robbed the Guixu Sect, it would have been fine.
That was how the Barren Domain was.
The strong preyed on the weak.
A weak sect was the original sin.
“It’s just being careful. What if this Guixu Sect has some trump cards? It’s better to be cautious. Anyway, True Lord Tiansheng is at the Nascent Soul stage and can suppress the Guixu Sect on the surface. We’ll just watch him.”
Ji Qing said slowly.
True Monarch Baoyue pondered.
Ji Qing, with the treasure right in the Guixu Sect, could actually restrain himself from acting personally?
Clearly, Ji Qing was very calm at this moment.
True Lord Tiansheng flew directly above the Guixu Sect.
He wasn’t foolish either.
A mask appeared in his hand.
This mask was very special; once worn, one’s appearance would change, and even their aura would shift.
This was a treasure he had obtained in his early years.
He had used it many times before, deceiving many people.
It was only through various opportunities that he had reached this point.
However, ever since he achieved Nascent Soul cultivation, he had not used this mask again.
After all, the Nascent Soul realm was already considered a top existence in the Barren Domain.
Spirit Transformation Divine Lords rarely appeared.
In the absence of Divine Lords, Nascent Soul True Lords were the most powerful.
What could make a Nascent Soul True Lord change their appearance and conceal their aura?
But True Lord Tiansheng never expected that today, he would take out this mask again.
Looking at the mask in his hand, True Lord Tiansheng said with deep emotion, “Old friend, we have to fight side-by-side once more. I really miss the old days, when every step was cautious, and only by treading on thin ice did I reach today.”
“Alas, it’s a pity that after I achieved Nascent Soul cultivation, I lost my original intention and became arrogant, no longer careful and cautious. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have rashly gone to Tianbao Kingdom, nor would I have rashly offended Ji Qing and True Monarch Baoyue, and I wouldn’t have ended up in this situation today…”
True Lord Tiansheng suddenly had an “enlightenment.”
His current predicament was not because Ji Qing was too strong, nor because True Monarch Baoyue’s magic was too mystical.
After all, there were many people stronger than Ji Qing.
Why would Ji Qing deal with him?
The fundamental reason was that he had lost his sense of reverence.
His actions were no longer cautious.
He was not calm enough.
He thought his Nascent Soul cultivation was enough to handle any danger.
Now, falling into Ji Qing’s hands was the price!
With this thought, True Lord Tiansheng suddenly felt that he had rediscovered his original intention.
So, he put on the mask.
Soon, his appearance changed.
Even his aura changed.
He became somewhat sinister, even radiating killing intent.
He resembled a demonic cultivator more.
“Hehehe, now I am Black Owl Old Ancestor!”
True Lord Tiansheng’s voice even changed.
He intended to impersonate Black Owl Old Ancestor.
This was because he knew that Black Owl Old Ancestor was already dead.
And not many people knew about it.
As for whether the Guixu Sect would believe him, he didn’t care.
He would just take the Guixu Sacred Law Fragment and leave.
“Whoosh.”
True Lord Tiansheng suddenly flew above the Guixu Sect.
He walked step by step, and the void behind him was completely dark, as if dyed with ink, exuding a deep, dark, and terrifying aura.
With such a terrifying aura and such a large commotion, the Guixu Sect naturally discovered it immediately.
“What’s going on? What a terrifying aura, who is he?”
“Enemy attack…”
“Quickly activate the mountain protecting formation…”
The Guixu Sect is a Martial Way sect, but Martial Way sects also have mountain protecting formations.
However, the Guixu Sect’s mountain protecting formation was nothing in True Lord Tiansheng’s eyes.
He directly reached down and pointed.
“Boom.”
The mountain protecting formation vibrated violently.
In the end, the mountain protecting formation was shattered in an instant.
“What?”
Seeing this, the high-ranking members of the Guixu Sect were immediately shocked.
Several Heavenly Humans appeared in the void, their faces all grim.
Clearly, they had already guessed how terrifying the opponent’s cultivation was.
“Nascent Soul…”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect was shaken, then his face showed bitterness.
How did they provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator?
And judging by the opponent’s appearance, he might even be a demonic cultivator True Lord. If they weren’t careful, the Guixu Sect might be annihilated today.
Therefore, the Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect cautiously and respectfully bowed, saying, “Esteemed True Lord, may I ask how our Guixu Sect has offended you?”
“Does your Guixu Sect know the principle of ‘possessing jade invites calamity’?”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect’s face changed drastically.
No grudge?
Then it’s even more troublesome.
If it’s not for a grudge, then they must need something.
If the other party takes the item and feels insecure, they might simply silence them…
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect no longer dared to think too deeply.
His attitude became even more respectful, “Whatever the True Lord desires, we of the Guixu Sect will offer it with both hands!”
“Oh? Given your sincere attitude, this Lord will give you a chance. Lead the way!”
“Yes, True Lord.”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect immediately led True Lord Tiansheng.
He had already made up his mind: no matter what the other party asked for, he would give it.
Even if they had to excavate the spirit veins, he would offer them with both hands.
He must satisfy this “old demon.”
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
This is the tragedy of a small sect.
Helpless when encountering a Nascent Soul cultivator.
True Lord Tiansheng sensed with the Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Technique and flew in a designated direction.
Along the way, any disciples of the Guixu Sect they encountered obediently made way, not daring to utter a word.
Finally, True Lord Tiansheng arrived before a huge statue.
“Hmm?”
“It’s here!”
True Lord Tiansheng stopped.
The aura he sensed was right here.
To be precise, it was inside the statue.
“Who is this statue?”
True Lord Tiansheng asked.
“Reporting to the True Lord, this statue is the Patriarch of our Guixu Sect, the Guixu Great Sage!”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect’s expression was somewhat complex.
If the Guixu Great Sage were still alive, or if there were experts at the Martial Saint level, how would any Nascent Soul old demon dare to act so presumptuously within the Guixu Sect?
Unfortunately, there are no “ifs.”
The Guixu Great Sage is already a legend.
The current Guixu Sect is merely a Heavenly Human sect.
They cannot afford to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator!
“Guixu Great Sage… Heheheh, it’s a pity it’s just a statue. If it were the real Guixu Great Sage, this Lord would naturally be wary.”
True Lord Tiansheng felt a bit weary from “disguising” himself as an old demon.
He had no connection with demonic cultivators at all.
Thus, True Lord Tiansheng no longer bothered to speak and directly grabbed the statue with his large hand.
“Bang.”
The statue exploded, and True Lord Tiansheng swept it with his spiritual sense.
Indeed, he saw two Guixu Sacred Law Fragments.
Although there were only two fragments, they indeed recorded a portion of the Guixu Sacred Law.
“What, this is…”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect had sharp eyes and saw the two fragments.
“Indeed, this Lord has obtained what he wanted. You were quite sensible…”
With that, True Lord Tiansheng flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.
At this point, the Heavenly Humans of the Guixu Sect dared to speak and ask, “Sect Leader, who was that old demon? What did he find?”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect gave a bitter smile and said, “It should be the Five Elements Void Sacred Law… Who would have thought that the Guixu Sacred Law was hidden in the Patriarch’s statue?”
“What? It’s the Guixu Sacred Law…”
These Heavenly Humans became agitated one by one.
After all, it was the Guixu Sacred Law.
The foundation of the Guixu Sect!
And now, it was found by an old demon.
“Sect Leader, do you have any guess as to who this old demon was?”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect thought carefully and said with some uncertainty, “The old demon wore a mask, and his aura was cold and dark, quite like the Black Owl Old Demon from the Barren Domain. But the Black Owl Old Demon hasn’t appeared for many years, so I’m not sure if it was him.”
“Moreover, even if it were the Black Owl Old Demon, so what? Can we still find him to take back the Sacred Law?”
Everyone looked at each other.
They knew the Sect Leader was right.
“No one is to spread this matter; keep it buried in your hearts! If the old demon holds a grudge because even a sliver of news leaks out, our Guixu Sect will be in great trouble!”
Everyone’s hearts grew serious.
They had only been lamenting the loss of the Guixu Sacred Law.
They hadn’t considered that it might be the Black Owl Old Demon.
A seasoned old demon who could slaughter cities and annihilate sects at will. It was already incredibly fortunate that not a single person in the Guixu Sect died.
And they still thought about snatching back the Sacred Law?
They couldn’t even think about it!
Even thinking about it was wrong!
“We cannot afford to provoke such an old demon. If you are still unwilling to accept this, then strive to break through to Martial Saint. Once a Martial Saint is born, which old demon would dare to come to our Guixu Sect and act presumptuously?”
The Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect also clenched his fists.
Humiliation!
This was the most humiliating moment since he became the Sect Leader of the Guixu Sect!
But he had to endure today’s humiliation!
“Whoosh.”
True Lord Tiansheng used an Evasion Technique and returned to Fellow Daoist Ji and True Monarch Baoyue in an instant.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, the mission is accomplished, and I have obtained two Guixu Sacred Law Fragments.”
The old demon who had been mysterious and terrifying at the Guixu Sect just now.
Now, he was almost fawning, holding the two Guixu Sacred Law Fragments with both hands, his face full of ingratiation.
Where was the dignity of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?
