Chapter 543 Going Further

"So that's how it is!" Li Dachui looked at Jiang Qian opposite him in disbelief. "You've actually progressed so far beyond the Innate Realm?"

A group of innate beings have now gathered outside the pass.

It can be said that when it comes to the quantity of cutting-edge military force, the area outside the Great Wall can currently stand out from the crowd.

Zhou Zhi, Liao Ran and Yi Ming, two experienced Taoist priests, and then Chang Jian,

The four old men, whose combined age was several hundred years, were all completely clueless about the realm of spiritual travel. But now, this young woman in her twenties was telling her that she had seen the gate to spiritual travel.

However, thinking of his mother, whom he had never met, he felt relieved.

Perhaps such extraordinary beings emerge from within the demonic sect.

Compared to He Qingqiu, Jiang Qian is actually far behind in martial arts cultivation.

According to Zhou Zhi, He Qingqiu, being older than Jiang Qian, had already reached a state of spiritual transcendence.

Jiang Qian, who has always regarded He Qingqiu as her idol, naturally wants to be like He Qingqiu back then, and also be able to look down on the world in terms of martial arts cultivation.

If she can achieve this, then she will have surpassed He Qingqiu in every aspect and become the number one person after Qingfeng, the founder of the Demonic Sect.

This extremely strong-willed woman always wanted to be at the top, no matter what she did.

"I never imagined you would practice Moon Essence Weak Water!" Jiang Qian said, "Could it be because of the balance of strength and gentleness, the harmony of yin and yang? Pure yang and pure yin attract each other and complement each other?"

Seeing Jiang Qian frowning and deep in thought, Li Dachui laughed loudly, "Empress Dowager, you've guessed wrong!"

"Where is wrong?"

Li Dachui smiled and held up one finger.

Jiang Qian's eyes widened slowly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

Because she saw a blue spark blooming brilliantly between Li Dachui's fingers.

This was a scene she knew all too well.

That was the Phoenix Flame.

That is the flower of death.

Li Dachui clearly used Moonlight Weak Water just now.

Jiang Qian was not surprised that Li Dachui knew the Moonlight Weak Water technique, because his mother was He Qingqiu.

As the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, He Qingqiu naturally understood both the Moonlit Weak Water and the Phoenix Departing Fire, but she could only refine the Phoenix Departing Fire.

Jiang Qian never imagined that the Phoenix Flame and the Moonlit Weak Water would both appear in one person.

unless……

Seeing the shocked look on Jiang Qian's face, Li Dachui smiled and said, "You guessed right, I cultivate the Qi of Heaven and Earth!"

"How is that possible? How could anyone actually cultivate the Qi of Heaven and Earth?" Jiang Qian muttered. "I've studied it repeatedly. This is just a secret manual designed to scam people. How can pure Yin and pure Yang coexist in one person? Li Dachui, are you perhaps a hermaphrodite?" "Nonsense!" Li Dachui was both angry and amused. The other party was truly delusional. "Didn't your Demonic Sect's founder, Qingfeng, cultivate the Qi of Heaven and Earth?"

“That happened hundreds of years ago, who knows if it’s true or not?” Jiang Qian shook her head and said, “I think that as long as Ancestor Qingfeng reached the Divine Travel Realm, he could naturally do it. Unless you tell me how you cultivated this Universe Qi.”

"It's no trouble telling you!" Li Dachui said, "How much do you know about the coup in Chang'an back then?"

"Almost everyone knows," Jiang Qian said. "Quite a few members of the Divine Cult who participated in this matter escaped back. He Qingqiu was pregnant with your child, which led to her falling from the Divine Travel Realm back to the Innate Realm. That's why she was besieged and killed by four Innate Grandmasters led by Kou Zhong."

“The real reason for my mother’s death is not this,” Li Dachui shook his head and said, “It’s just that at that time, she had to make a choice between me and herself, either to give me up or to give herself up.”

“Her choice was you!” Jiang Qian shook her head and said, “If it were me, I would never make this choice! If you don’t have a child, you can have another one, but if you don’t have yourself, then you have nothing.”

“Perhaps it’s because my father was already dead by then!” Li Dachui sighed. “My mother, who was already injured at the time, forcibly cleansed my bones and marrow after giving birth to me, and then handed me over to her close friend Zhou Xingxing. She herself went back to fight Kou Zhong and the others. If there is anything that makes me different from others, it’s probably this.”

"Can one truly master the Qi of Heaven and Earth simply by cleansing the marrow and refining the tendons?"

“It’s a marrow cleansing technique performed by a master of spiritual travel,” Li Dachui emphasized. “And it was done right after birth, before that innate energy had dissipated.”

"If it weren't for you being a burden, could she have killed Kou Zhong and the others back then and survived?" Jiang Qian asked.

"That's probably how it will be!" Li Dachui said.

"madness!"

“哀莫大于心死！或者是因为她所爱的人已经离去，而她想要做的事情，也彻底失败，所以她对这个世界再无留恋了吧？”李大锤道：“这是她的选择，江芊，你再对她无礼的话，小心我揍你！”

Jiang Qian sneered: "Is that so? Isn't that foolish? Besides, so what if you cultivate the Qi of Heaven and Earth? You're still just a beginner. This is my territory, my territory, and I'm in charge!"

With Jiang Qian's long roar, responses rang out from below, and one figure after another appeared. Li Dachui glanced at them and saw that among the dozen or so people who appeared, the weakest in martial arts cultivation seemed to be at least at the eighth or ninth rank of the Profound Origin Realm. Li Dachui actually saw several of them.

"A master of the Giant Wood Banner?"

"Not only that, all five banners of the Divine Cult are included!" Jiang Qian looked at Li Dachui: "Do you still want to beat me up now?"

“Of course I still want to, but a gentleman uses words, not fists!” Li Dachui said. “Besides, I don’t hit women.”

Jiang Qian laughed angrily: "You really are quick-witted and pragmatic. You clearly don't dare to make a move, but you say it in such a refined and elegant way, as if you are a true gentleman."

Li Dachui chuckled and said, "If the Qi of Heaven and Earth is a vine, then the Phoenix Fire and the Moon's Weak Water are two melons on that vine. This is the relationship between father and son. When the son gets close to his father, he is naturally excited. If you want to take it a step further, it's very easy."

"How can it be easy?"

"Do you know how my godfather, Zhou Zhi, described this skill after I mastered the Qi of Heaven and Earth? He said that the Qi of Heaven and Earth is like a super-sized wet nurse."

"How to say?"

"Xiao Changche cultivates the Heaven-Slaying Technique, which has an extremely fierce killing aura. People who practice this technique often go crazy after reaching the Innate Realm because of irreversible damage to their brains. However, the Universe Qi can quench all the killing aura and violence accumulated in her body. So now Xiao Changche is not only free from the danger of her body being attacked by the Heaven-Slaying Technique, but it is only a matter of time before she enters the Innate Realm."

Jiang Qian was extremely clever and instantly understood what Li Dachui meant: "You mean, the Qi of Heaven and Earth can help me temper the Phoenix Flame? So that I can advance to the next level?"

"Yes, I can not only let you see that door, I can also let you touch that door!"
