Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 284 Tianchong (Tiancong)
Two months later.

Shenjing.

Forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace.

Dressed in black night clothes, Li Ningxue evaded the group of guards and appeared silently by a pool.

She leaped into the water like a nimble fish, without making a splash, and disappeared into the underwater ditch.

"Click..."

I don't know which stone I touched, but the stone wall below suddenly cracked open, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Li Ningxue quickly darted into the passage, the stone wall behind her closed, and the surrounding water flow quietly receded.

Continuing along the passage, we soon arrived at a dark room.

Ouyang Chengxuan, the leader of the Tianyi Sect who had disappeared from the martial arts world for a long time, was sitting cross-legged in the center of the dark room.

"Master!"

Li Ningxue knelt on one knee, bowing her head, and said:
"Baiyun Temple remains unchanged; Daoist Ziju has not returned."

"Hmm..." Ouyang Chengxuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of relief flashing in his bloodshot eyes:
"It seems he was also injured and is in seclusion somewhere. At least I didn't lose too badly."

Li Ningxue remained silent.

She didn't necessarily think so, after all, Zhu Ju had been disappearing from time to time for many years.

It wasn't necessarily because he was injured by Ouyang Chengxuan.

However, she naturally dared not say these words aloud.

"Unexpected."

Ouyang Chengxuan sighed softly:
"I never imagined that I would be in such a sorry state. It's as if I've been transported back to decades ago."

"Back then, I was still the Holy Son of the Heavenly Will Sect, competing with other Holy Sons and Holy Daughters for the position of Sect Leader. I was framed and chased by the Fuhu Hall. It took me almost a month to escape."

"Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune in the future," Li Ningxue hurriedly said.
"At that time, the sect leader was surrounded and killed. After escaping, his strength greatly increased. He successfully defeated the other holy sons and holy daughters and succeeded as the sect leader of Tianyi Sect. In just a few years, he single-handedly destroyed the Fuhu Hall, which had been famous in the martial arts world for a hundred years."

"It will be the same this time!"

“Heh…” Ouyang Chengxuan chuckled softly, shaking his head with a complex expression:

"Although I am unwilling, I have to admire Master Ziju's methods. In terms of strength..."

"I am indeed inferior to him!"

Ok?
Li Ningxue suddenly looked up, her face showing surprise.

She had never heard the sect leader utter a word of surrender; in her mind, he had always been invincible.

Never thought...

"That Daoist Ziju is actually that powerful?"

Even the old monster deep in the palace, Xuan Chengzi of the Heavenly Will Sect, Ouyang Chengxuan only spoke with respect and never said that he was inferior to him.

"Yes."

Ouyang Chengxuan nodded, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"That's precisely why it's abnormal. The way of martial arts is profound and extensive, and wealth, companions, methods, and location are all indispensable."

“Even if he obtained some incredible inheritance, it would be impossible for him to reach this level by cultivating alone. Moreover… I have never seen many of the methods that Daoist Ziju has used. He must be hiding some very deep secrets.”

"Sect Master," Li Ningxue asked after a moment's thought.

"What's next?"

"Hmph!" Ouyang Chengxuan's expression was strange.
"Although I am not as good as him, this life-or-death battle has given me a new understanding of the Heavenly Will Technique. Perhaps I can take it a step further and step into that legendary realm."

The legendary realm?

Li Ningxue's heart skipped a beat.

A terrestrial immortal!

"I'm going into seclusion."

Ouyang Chengxuan took a deep breath and spoke in a muffled voice:
"This seclusion will last for five or six years, or even ten or twenty years. Tianyi Sect needs someone to take charge."

"And you are currently the best candidate."

Pfft!
Pfft!
……

Li Ningxue's heart raced, her face flushed, and her eyes blazed with fervor.

"Disciple, is it alright?"

"If I say you can, then you can." Ouyang Chengxuan's expression turned serious, and he shouted:

"Activate your inner power technique, and I will impart the Heavenly Will Technique to you!"

"Yes!" Li Ningxue's spirits lifted, and she quickly sat down cross-legged on the spot, circulating the secret mental cultivation method of the Heavenly Will Sect.

This mental cultivation method is a prefix of the Heavenly Will Technique.

Both the Holy Son and Holy Daughter will cultivate, and when they succeed to the position of sect leader, they will naturally switch to cultivating the Heavenly Will Technique.

The energy cultivation technique is activated.

Her skin began to slowly turn red, gradually becoming transparent, like a piece of blood jade.

a moment.

"puff!"

A finger pierced Li Ningxue's forehead, penetrating deep into her brain.

"Master!"

Li Ningxue's eyes widened in shock, and then her consciousness was plunged into endless darkness.

"Humph!"

Ouyang Chengxuan let out a cold snort, his face icy:
"Do you really think I don't know anything? You've already become that Ziju Daoist's puppet. The position of Tianyi Sect Master will never be given to you, no matter who it is."

"Peng!"

A wave of his hand.

The desiccated corpses fell heavily to the ground.

"Why bother?"

At that moment, a soft, soothing voice came from behind, and a beautiful woman dressed in palace attire walked out slowly.

The visitor was none other than the former Seventh Princess, now the Duke of the State.

Qi Wanyan!
She was dressed in luxurious palace attire, with a long skirt embroidered with pearls and precious stones that trailed on the ground, and she frowned as she looked at the corpse on the ground.

“Ningxue has done a good job by my side and is easy to use. Even if I don’t like her, there’s no need to kill her.”

"You do not understand."

Ouyang Chengxuan shook his head:

"The Heavenly Will Sect has always had positions for Holy Son and Holy Daughter, but only one person can succeed as the sect leader. Do you know where the others have gone?"

Ok?
Qi Wanyan raised an eyebrow.

"died!"

Ouyang Chengxuan withdrew his finger expressionlessly, a bead of crimson blood appearing at the tip, eerily strange.

"The cultivation method they practice can nurture a drop of blood-tempering bead within their body. After extraction, it can allow those who practice the same method to undergo a complete transformation, thus meeting the conditions for cultivating the Heavenly Will Technique."

"Is that so?" Qi Wanyan's eyes showed surprise:

"Heavenly Will Gate..."

"As expected of the Demonic Sect!"

"That's not the case." Ouyang Chengxuan shook his head:
"The Heavenly Will Technique is too special; even those with exceptional talent find it difficult to even begin to cultivate it."

"Only this method can lay a solid foundation."

"Moreover, refining the Blood Tempering Pearl can greatly increase one's cultivation level. Therefore, the leaders of the Heavenly Will Sect have always been top experts in the martial arts world, without exception."

"Prince Fuguo!"

"Would you be willing to become the leader of the Heavenly Will Sect?"

"..." Qi Wanyan's beautiful eyes sparkled:

"The Heavenly Will Sect was founded by the previous dynasty's royal family, solely to destroy the Great Qi Dynasty. And I am a daughter of the Great Qi royal family. Senior, are you truly willing to hand over the Heavenly Will Sect to me?" "Heh..." Ouyang Chengxuan chuckled.
"Hundreds of years have passed, and the obsessions of our ancestors may not apply to people today. Moreover, although you are surnamed Qi, you will eventually marry, and your children and grandchildren may not be surnamed Qi. Wouldn't that be equivalent to destroying the Great Qi?"

"I promised the one in the palace that I would remain unmarried for life, spending my days in solitude." Qi Wanyan shook her head.

"I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."

"Besides, I am only the Duke of the State, not the emperor. There is no precedent for a woman to be the emperor in the Great Qi."

“There is no precedent, but we can make an exception.” Ouyang Chengxuan took out an exquisite jade bottle from his bosom and put the Blood Tempering Bead extracted from Li Ningxue into it, which made a crisp trembling sound.

obviously.

There was more than one drop of blood-quenching bead in the jade bottle.

Qi Wanyan stared at the jade bottle, her breathing gradually becoming rapid, her beautiful eyes flashing quickly, and finally she slowly knelt down on the ground.

"Disciple Qi Wanyan greets Master!"

"Haha..." Ouyang Chengxuan laughed loudly:
"it is good!"

"Come closer, I will impart to you the Heavenly Will Technique!"

a few days later.

Underground darkroom.

Qi Wanyan changed into casual clothes, sat cross-legged on a futon, and was surrounded by rising smoke, as if she had become an immortal.

The aura emanating from his body gradually changed.

From its initial imposing nobility to its ethereal, otherworldly beauty, it resembles a magnificent treasure bestowed by heaven and earth.

"call……"

She opened her eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and her breath flew more than ten feet away like a sword, carving a shallow pit in the hard rock.

"it is good!"

Ouyang Chengxuan stood a short distance away with his hands behind his back, and lightly clapped his hands, saying:
"You have finally mastered the Heavenly Will Technique. With your foundation, you will soon be able to step into the Vajra Martial Saint realm."

"Given time, achieving Mount Sumeru will not be difficult!"

"Thank you, Master." Qi Wanyan stood up, bowed to Ouyang Chengxuan, and smiled sweetly.

"Then I'll trouble you to continue your journey, Master!"

"Huh?" Ouyang Chengxuan was taken aback.
"What do you mean?"

Before he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed drastically, as he sensed a familiar aura in the room.

"Master Ziju!"

"good."

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the corner; it was Zhu Ju, holding a whisk.

He stood on the Investiture of the Gods, and with a gentle wave of his long sleeves:
"This humble Taoist priest is seeing you off on your journey."

The Inverted Five Elements Formation!

Second-tier low-grade formation.

A thick fog quietly appeared, obscuring all senses, and countless golden swords, flames, and earthen dragons rolled out.

He did not use the Investiture of the Gods when he was hunting down Ouyang Chengxuan.

"boom!"

After a while.

The smoke disappeared.

Zhu Ju retrieved the Investiture of the Gods, and Ouyang Chengxuan also disappeared.

"Master's abilities are boundless; the Heavenly Will Sect Master is nothing but a clown." Qi Wanyan smiled sweetly.
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! You killed Ouyang Chengxuan single-handedly. You truly deserve the title of the number one expert in the world."

Two months ago.

Ouyang Chengxuan, the leader of Tianyi Sect, was pursued by Zhu Ju and fled for more than half a month. By then, people already regarded Zhu Ju as the number one expert in the world.

after all.

That's the sect leader of the Heavenly Will Sect!

Even the top experts from both Buddhism and Taoism only dared to claim victory, but none dared to pursue and kill him so openly.

However, since he didn't kill him, his reputation as the best in the world wasn't firmly established.

Only Qi Wanyan knew that Zhu Ju wasn't incapable of killing Ouyang Chengxuan, but rather that he had shown mercy.

The picture shows the Heavenly Will Technique of the Heavenly Will Sect.

really!

Severely injured, Ouyang Chengxuan fled back to Shenjing and chose Qi Wanyan as the next sect leader, passing down the Heavenly Will Technique.

At this moment, Zhu Ju made his move and easily killed a Sumeru Martial Saint.

Qi Wanyan lowered her head, concealing the fear in her eyes.

This 'master' was far stronger than she had imagined; he killed Sumeru so easily.

in this way,

Even if I were to ascend the throne, wouldn't it be difficult to suppress him?

Wouldn't I be just like the Holy Maiden Li Ningxue, merely a puppet in someone else's hands?
"This humble Taoist has no interest in worldly power and influence." As if reading her thoughts, Zhu Ju spoke slowly:
"The cultivation methods you seek will naturally fade away."

He held out his hand and said:

"The Mantra of Heaven's Will".

"Yes."

Qi Wanyan agreed, handing over the pre-transcribed Heavenly Will Formula, and said:
“Master, according to Ouyang Chengxuan, unless one is an extremely special person, even a martial arts prodigy who appears once in a century cannot master the Heavenly Will Technique.”

"I know." Zhu Ju unfolded the silk scroll, glanced at it, and immediately a smile appeared on his face:
"it is true!"

The Heavenly Will Technique directly points to the Heavenly Surge (Heavenly Intelligence) Soul, and it is also the only method in this Immortal Martial Path that points to the Heavenly Surge Soul.

It was worth all the effort he put into getting it.

"There's also the Heavenly Origin Technique and the Pure Yang Qi Technique."

"The master of the Ghost Tower was Ouyang Chengxuan. Now that Ouyang Chengxuan is dead, the Ghost Tower has also fallen apart, which can be considered as fulfilling my promise to you."

"As for that photograph..." Zhu Ju began:
"He was assassinated the day before yesterday, and I have already taken care of that for you."

the day before yesterday.

On his way back to his residence from the palace, Prime Minister Zhang was attacked by an assassin at the Divine Martial Saint realm.

He died on the spot.

This incident caused great turmoil in the imperial court, and the situation has not yet calmed down.

"Master's methods are truly remarkable; your disciple is in awe." Qi Wanyan was sincerely impressed.

"These two techniques will be delivered to Baiyun Temple tomorrow."

Zhang Xiang died at the hands of Shen Ming, the Soul-Chasing Sword.

Zhu Ju promised Shen Ming that he would spare his life if Shen Ming would live in anonymity and never return to the martial arts world.

in this way.

Besides the Tathagata Heart Mantra that directly targets the spiritual essence, Zhu Ju has already obtained all the techniques for connecting the seven souls.

The Tathagata's Heart Mantra
He already had a lead.

"Master."

Qi Wanyan whispered:

"The Third Prince is raising an army and causing chaos throughout the land. Could you please..."

"Didn't you already have a way to take him down?" Zhu Ju turned his head to look at him.
"I am a person outside the world, and it is not appropriate for me to get involved in karma."

"Farewell!"
