"Haha! How could Master let those Daoist sects do you harm? I heard that this time, Mount Shu's grand ceremony is about to take place. I said it would be perfect for me to attend as a distinguished guest of Mount Shu! This time, I'll officially announce the status of my Tian Dao Sect to all the Daoist sects under heaven!" Zhou Qing patted the little fox's head with one hand, and with a flick of his other hand, the token that had been sent flying earlier reappeared in his palm.
Handed over to Yu Jian, Liao Xiao Jin flew in, Liao Xiao Jin has made rapid progress recently, his cultivation speed is so fast that it makes any genius in the cultivation world look pale in comparison. Without relying on any spiritual medicine assistance, he actually went from Qi Refining to Late Qi Refining in just a little over a month, but this also has something to do with his own physique, after all, the ancient demon god's bloodline is not to be underestimated.
Moreover, Liao Xiaojin borrowed the power of that top-grade flying sword to absorb the essence of the moon and actually succeeded in evolving himself into a duke-level. His strength had increased dramatically, and his physical speed was comparable to that of an average flying sword. In comparison, Zhou Chen paled in comparison. As a demon, she could cultivate sword techniques, but her progress was slow. The flying sword given to her by Zhou Qing was also far inferior to Liao Xiaojin's.
Liao Xiao Jin took the token with a trembling hand and pulled Zhou Chen onto Zhou Qing's white cloud, "Master! We're going to Shu Mountain, you can take us there by yourself, I've only just reached the later stage of Qi Refining and can barely fly on my sword, taking two people will exhaust all my True Yuan." Liao Xiao Jin flipped the iron token back and forth, but apart from feeling its weight, he couldn't discern anything unusual.
Zhou Chen was surprised: "This should be the guest elder token of Shu Mountain, Master, how did you get it? Did you kill another elder of Shu Mountain?" Zhou Chen knew that his cheap master looked harmless, but was actually ruthless and cunning, with a knife hidden in his smile, and could turn against him faster than turning a page.
Zhou Qing naturally knew what his fox disciple was thinking, and just as he was about to speak up to explain, several dozen gleaming sword lights of various colors suddenly slashed across the sky, their sharp whistling sounds piercing through the clouds. The rapid flight stirred up powerful gusts of wind that made it hard for the four of them to breathe, and the white clouds were tossed about in disarray. As the weakest among them, the little fox hadn't even reached the intermediate stage of Qi cultivation, and was almost blown off the cloud by the sudden gusts, nearly tumbling to the ground in a heap.
Zhou Qing waved her hand, and the aurora shield transformed into a five-colored light shield that enveloped the four people. The colorful glow was magnificent, and no matter how fierce the gale was, inside the light shield it was calm and peaceful. This aurora shield was made from the aurora of the extreme north, where the winds were so strong they could blow away anything. Compared to the sword energy that split the air and brought the gale, this aurora shield was in a completely different league, and there was no way it could be shaken.
Liao Xiaojin's recent Daoist practice had made great progress, and he was eager to try it out. Regardless of whether the people flying with swords were intentional or unintentional, a cold hum sounded, and his flying sword transformed into a purple-gold light beam as thick as a water bucket, slashing towards the cyan sword light that had just jumped over him. The speed of the flying sword was naturally inferior to the speed of a dedicated killing move, and the purple-gold light beam caught up with the cyan sword light in an instant.
"The universe is one breath, the nine heavens' divine thunder, break for me!" One of the golden sword lights let out a loud shout. The blue sword light seemed to be accustomed to this situation and didn't panic or dodge. It stopped on its own accord. Two large bolts of lightning from higher up struck down, causing the heaven and earth's vital energy to fluctuate rapidly. The white clouds in the sky were swept away, revealing a bright blue sky. The gentle sunlight shone down, which was also quite interesting.
Zhou Qing slightly furrowed his brow, put down Zhou Cang, and with a slight lift of his left little finger, a surge of formless true yuan mental energy burst into Liao Xiao Jin's body. Liao Xiao Jin was fully exerting himself to control the flying sword to meet the thunder and lightning, and with the support of Zhou Qing's majestic and powerful true yuan mental energy, his divine consciousness suddenly increased, and the sword light expanded greatly. Liao Xiao Jin clearly saw the weak point in the thunder that was formed by the condensation of the heaven and earth's original energy, and like a fish swimming, the sword light dodged and weaved through the giant thunder's opening, instantly stripping away the thread of true yuan that had triggered the heaven and earth's original energy. The thunder dispersed like a column of water, and transformed into pure heaven and earth original energy, dissipating into the air.
Clever Breaking Method! This is the way of unifying law and martial arts that Zhou Qing comprehended after combining array methods in the struggle with the powerful ghost general in the Longping underground cave. Since condensing his law body, achieving an indestructible physique, Zhou Qing's Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills have reached the second stage, naturally giving him insight into several additional techniques. This Mind Transmission Technique is one of them, and it has some similarities with the Buddhist Supreme Divine Communication, not only can it transmit consciousness to others, but also attach true yuan mental power, truly a wonderfully unmatched technique.
"This magic is indeed useful! In the future, I will expand my sect, widely recruit disciples, and use it to pass on the teachings. Unfortunately, there isn't a suitable cave abode, but that's okay. Once this matter is settled, I'll use the Avoid Water Pearl to open a mountain gate at the bottom of the sea!
As for Bai Qi entrusting Zhou Qing with the task, Zhou Qing didn't even put it in his heart. What's more vicious is that Zhou Qing still can't forget the Mountain River Map that trapped Bai Qi. However, this can't be blamed on him. The reputation of the Mountain River Map shakes the three realms, and having it is equivalent to owning one's own world. Any mortal or immortal would be tempted."
Zhou Qing was suspicious of that white-clothed person, Xu Fu's origins were also somewhat dubious. Using the Mountain and River Society Map to trap people was simply like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot mosquitoes. Zhou Qing vaguely felt that this matter might have a huge conspiracy behind it. Although his strength had increased greatly, he couldn't compare with those legendary immortals and gods. "Knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing!" Zhou Qing's heart was curious, but he wasn't in a hurry to investigate the truth of the matter.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Three sword lights, five figures stopped in the air ten yards away from Zhou Qing and his four companions. The three sword lights were of different lengths, clearly a result of their varying levels of power. They were three middle-aged Taoist priests, all wearing moon-white Taoist robes with neat styles, but without any hint of an immortal or transcendent aura. Their faces were ferocious and arrogant, if not for the fact that they wore Taoist robes, Zhou Qing and his companions would have thought they had encountered bandits.
The other two were actually wearing large red kasayas, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, with a big head and ears. They all stepped on purple gold lotus platforms, with auspicious light faintly visible, and Buddhist sounds lingering. It was somewhat like the demeanor of high-ranking monks, but these two big monks were both wearing yellow high lama hats, not looking like monks or lamas, yet somehow neither here nor there.
The three Taoists stared at the four people surrounded by the colorful light shield, and the one standing in the middle, with his foot on the golden sword light, shouted in a shrill voice: "Where did you come from, you little brat? Dare to attack us? Are you tired of living? Which sect are you disciples of? Quickly report your name, let's see if we have any connection. Otherwise, I'll make sure you and your gods are destroyed, never to be reborn!"
