Luck entry, starting from the Nine Dragons' succession

Chapter 166 [A Moment Without Interruption] and [Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune]

After a cup of tea.

Pei Qingxuan changed her clothes and came out of the room wearing a white dress.

Fang Heng glanced at the view beneath the skirt, which was as thin as a cicada's wing and shrouded in a dark haze.

This was originally prepared for Yun Menglan, but unfortunately, after taking one look, Yun Menglan blushed and refused to wear it no matter what.

They said this was a vixen's way of seducing people, and if she wore it, her mother would find out and definitely not let her off the hook.

Therefore, Pei Qingxuan benefited today.

A faint blush inadvertently appeared on Pei Qingxuan's cool and beautiful face.

As soon as she came out, she gave Fang Heng a disgruntled look.

"Black Impermanence, are you satisfied now?"

"If only I could wear a short skirt..."

Before Fang Heng could finish speaking, Pei Qingxuan's eyes changed, filled with murderous intent, cutting off Fang Heng's next words.

"Humph--"

"Black Impermanence, don't push your luck!"

"I was only forced to do this today, there will absolutely be no next time."

Fang Heng scoffed at Pei Qingxuan's statement that there would be no next time.

Pei Qingxuan said similar things many times, but in the end, she still practiced sword intent with herself time and time again.
"Cough cough!"

"let's start!"

Two mysterious sword intents erupted in the guest room.

An invisible ripple permeated the air, like a requiem.

As Fang Heng activated the Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture, Pei Qingxuan's magical power subconsciously began to circulate, coordinating with Fang Heng's actions.

The sword intent, like morning dew, was overflowing with joy.

The changes in her own body left Pei Qingxuan feeling helpless.

I have a feeling that I have transformed into the form of the Black Impermanence.

At the same time, the power of the "Harmony of Phoenix and Luan" destiny was activated within Fang Heng's body.

His unique dual cultivation physique made the effects of his dual cultivation with Pei Qingxuan far exceed those of ordinary dual cultivation.

The sword intent of Lingxu and the sword intent of Chaolu merged in the void.

Fang Heng's understanding of sword intent became increasingly profound, and he felt that he had vaguely grasped the bottleneck of sword intent taking form.

There is only one thin membrane left before I can advance to the point where my sword intent takes form.

It seems like all it takes is one hard thrust to get it in.

As the Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture circulated, Fang Hengfu was deeply moved and entered a state of sudden enlightenment.

The moment Fang Heng entered a state of enlightenment, Pei Qingxuan, who was cultivating with him, immediately noticed it.

"I've had an epiphany!"

Pei Qingxuan raised an eyebrow, a deep surprise flashing in her bright eyes.

Black Impermanence is incredibly lucky.

Through dual cultivation, I not only obtained my own Time Sword Intent for free, but also had an epiphany today.

As Fang Heng had his sudden enlightenment, the aura in the void began to change.

The spiritual energy surged and converged into Fang Heng's body.

A giant Tai Chi diagram was formed in the room.

The two forces of Yin and Yang, though clearly distinct, seem to be perfectly integrated.

Sensing the energy within the Tai Chi diagram, Pei Qingxuan's heart grew increasingly unsettled, like a boulder falling into a calm lake, creating ripples.

To her surprise, she discovered that not only the morning dew sword intent, but also the ephemeral flower sword intent within her body were eager to enter the Taiji diagram.

"This……"

Pei Qingxuan's expression changed twice; at first, she tried to suppress it.

But in less than three breaths, she realized that she couldn't suppress it and could only let nature take its course.

During dual cultivation, one's aura and the aura of Black Impermanence become intertwined, making it impossible to sever.

All she could do was let the two sword intents merge into the Tai Chi diagram.

Pei Qingxuan was already used to the proactive nature of the Morning Dew Sword Intent.

However, the eagerness of the Ephemeral Flower Sword Intent to plunge into the Tai Chi diagram and begin dual cultivation left Pei Qingxuan feeling uneasy.

Even the sword intent of the ephemeral flower has become tainted!

Fang Heng was unaware of Pei Qingxuan's thoughts; at this moment, he was completely immersed in the mysteries of dual cultivation.

The black and white tai chi symbol above their heads seemed to become increasingly condensed, as if it were about to transform into a real tai chi symbol.

I do not know how long it has been.

A clear, resonant humming sound emanated from the Tai Chi diagram.

As the clear buzzing sound rang out, the Tai Chi diagram disintegrated, transforming into Yin and Yang energies that surged into the bodies of the two individuals.

At the same time, Fang Heng, who was in a state of sudden enlightenment, also awoke.

A supernatural power appeared in his mind.

In an instant!

This is a supernatural power that Fang Heng comprehended during his sudden enlightenment.

A swordsman's combined attack technique requires two swordsmen who are of one mind to work together to execute it.

Furthermore, these two sword cultivators must master the Void Sword Intent and the Time Sword Intent respectively in order to unleash them.

The conditions for its implementation are extremely demanding.

Its power naturally made Fang Heng's heart pound with fear.

Pei Qingxuan, sitting opposite her, slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with a complex expression.

She gazed wistfully at the Black Impermanence so close to her, longing to remove his mask and see what kind of deity lay beneath it.

She also learned about the supernatural abilities that Fang Heng had comprehended through dual cultivation of sword intent.

In an instant!

The sheer brilliance of this divine ability was astounding, even to Pei Qingxuan, the Holy Maiden of the Sword Pavilion who had witnessed countless sword techniques.

It's hard to imagine that there are actually supernatural methods in the world that can control both the sword intent of the void and the sword intent of time.

Even though this is a combined attack technique, it requires two people to work together to execute it.

"This divine power is definitely a Taiyi divine power!"

"No, even among the Taiyi Divine Powers, it is the most outstanding one."

"Even among the ten major Daoist courts, it would definitely be considered a sect-protecting secret technique."

"Black Impermanence, could it be an innate dual cultivation holy body?"

Pei Qingxuan took a deep breath, her desire to win over Fang Heng growing stronger.

If I offer him dual cultivation as a condition, would he be willing to join the Sword Pavilion with me?

Pooh!
Pei Qingxuan, what are you thinking about?

You are the Holy Maiden of the Sword Pavilion, how could you think of lying down and taking shortcuts?

Fang Heng opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and saw Pei Qingxuan staring blankly at him.

He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:
"how?"

"Are you captivated by my handsome looks?"

"Pah—shameless!"

"Black Impermanence, save your sweet talk for fooling young girls."

Pei Qingxuan rolled her eyes and said irritably.

I must have been blinded by greed just now. How could I have wanted to submit to a lecherous rogue like Black Impermanence?

"Now that the dual cultivation is over, I'll be leaving."

"Don't forget about the Heavenly Sword Palace!"

As she spoke, Pei Qingxuan deliberately lowered her skirt to cover her long, slender legs encased in black stockings, and got up to leave.

"Don't worry, I won't forget it!"

"Don't forget to cultivate the supernatural power of instantaneous movement."

"Mastering this combined attack technique will give us more leverage within the Heavenly Sword Palace."

"Black Impermanence, I don't need you to remind me!"

"Oh—by the way, remember to wear a short skirt next time."

As soon as Fang Heng finished speaking, Pei Qingxuan paused, her chest heaving as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't. She then staggered out of the guest room.

Seeing Pei Qingxuan's slightly disheveled figure, Fang Heng's lips curled into a slight smile. This Sword Pavilion Saintess is truly a hypocrite!
They say they don't want dual cultivation, but their actions tell a different story.

Hmm... the sword intent is even more honest!
With a flick of the fingertip, a flash of silver light suddenly appeared in the guest room.

This glimmer of silver light flickered and seemed to merge with the void.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover that the silver light in Fang Heng's hand is a sword intent condensed to the extreme.

The sword intent materialized, and it was complete!
Fang Heng felt incredibly refreshed, as if he had eaten an ice-cold watermelon on a sweltering summer day.

During this dual cultivation, in addition to comprehending the Taiyi Divine Power of Instantaneous Transformation, Fang Heng's Lingxu Sword Intent also advanced to the level of sword intent taking form.

"No wonder demonic cultivators are obsessed with dual cultivation, and even Buddhism has a lineage of Joyful Meditation."

“Dual cultivation is much faster than cultivating alone.”

Fang Heng secretly sighed in his heart.

My rapid progress in sword intent is largely thanks to Pei Qingxuan, the Holy Maiden of the Sword Pavilion.

Pei Qingxuan is a sword cultivator at the ninth realm, and her sword intent level is far higher than mine.

That's why there are such amazing effects from dual cultivation.

"but……"

"Helping Pei Qingxuan break into the Heavenly Sword Palace is no easy task."

Fang Heng frowned, a deep worry showing on his face.

The Heavenly Sword Palace was the focus of everyone's attention.

Countless people around the world are eyeing it covetously.

The imperial court is preparing to open the Heavenly Sword Palace, and it's impossible for it to be open only to people from the court.

Wouldn't this cause an uproar?

The ten major Taoist courts will certainly not let this go easily.

The competition within the Heavenly Sword Palace is absolutely fierce, all for the sake of helping Pei Qingxuan obtain the Sword Domain Remains...

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed as he looked at the chart panel, lost in thought.

……

The Fourth Prince's Mansion.

The study was filled with the gentle fragrance of incense, exuding an antique charm.

"I have met His Highness!"

Li Qingya bowed to the Fourth Prince, who quickly rose and helped her up, speaking urgently:

"Qingya, please get up quickly, you're making me feel terrible!"

"Someone, hurry up and serve Qingya tea!"

A beautiful maid entered, served tea to the Fourth Prince and Li Qingya, and then tactfully withdrew from the study.

After the two had tasted the spiritual tea, the Fourth Prince cleared his throat and slowly said:
"Qingya, the Heavenly Sword Palace is about to open."

"You are the only one who came out of the Heavenly Sword Palace. In the whole world, no one can surpass you in understanding the Heavenly Sword Palace!"

Li Qingya understood the meaning behind the Fourth Prince's flattery.

The Fourth Prince wanted to get information about the Heavenly Sword Palace from him.

Li Qingya's eyes narrowed, and he had his own plans in mind.

This opening of the Heavenly Sword Palace is different from the previous ones.

The last time I entered the Heavenly Sword Palace, I was all alone, with no competitors.

This time, the Heavenly Sword Palace is a major event that has attracted worldwide attention.

Even if he has the upper hand, he still needs someone to help him share the pressure to avoid being attacked by a group of people.

Li Qingya cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said with a beaming smile:

"To be honest, Your Highness, I am indeed very familiar with the Heavenly Sword Palace."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince knew that things were going well, and his smile grew even wider. It was worth all the effort he had put into winning over Li Qingya.

Li Qingya slowly opened his mouth and continued:

"The Heavenly Sword Palace is divided into three areas."

"Sword Puppet Forest, Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror, and Rebirth Sword Tomb."

"Within the Sword Puppet Forest, there are sword puppets guarding the area. The puppets are generally of average strength, usually only at the fifth realm."

“Slaying the sword puppet will yield the bronze sword key. Collecting eight bronze sword keys and combining them into the Eight Directions Sword Token will open the passage to the Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror.”

"As for the Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror..." Li Qingya paused here, a solemn look appearing on his face.

"Qingya, what's so special about the Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror?" The Fourth Prince quickly chimed in, trying to make fun of Li Qingya.

"Your Highness, the Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror is not easy to deal with."

"The Thousand Illusion Sword Mirror will conjure up the image of the cultivator."

"The mirror image's cultivation level is exactly the same as the original body's, and the mirror image also masters all the supernatural abilities that the original body possesses."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's eyes narrowed, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Doesn't this mean we have to fight against ourselves?"

"Your Highness is right!"

"However... mirror images are not without their weaknesses."

"As long as you prepare desperate measures in advance and temporarily enhance your strength, you can easily defeat the mirror image."

"After all, the mirror image doesn't have any treasures that can enhance strength."

Upon hearing this, the fourth prince suddenly realized what was going on.

That's it!

This intelligence alone is enough to prove that his efforts to win over Li Qingya were worthwhile.

“As for the Tomb of Rebirth…” Li Qingya’s gaze deepened, “that is the most precious place in the entire Heavenly Sword Palace.”

"As far as I know, the master of the Heavenly Sword Palace is a senior expert from ancient times named the Sword Lord of Calamity."

"The Sword Lord of Calamity buried all the sword cultivators he had defeated in his lifetime in the Tomb of Rebirth."

"The legacy of these sword cultivators was also buried there."

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince's eyes immediately lit up.

"Qingya, the inheritance you received could not be..."

"Your Highness, you guessed correctly. The inheritance I received came from the Tomb of Rebirth Sword."

"The sword cultivators who could be buried by the Sword Lord of Calamity were all top-tier experts."

"To inherit their legacy, one needs a special opportunity."

"Your Highness could give it a try; perhaps you could gain the approval of those senior sword cultivators in the Sword Tomb."

As Li Qingya finished speaking, he picked up a white porcelain teacup with blue and white decorations and slowly took a sip of spiritual tea.

He seemed to explain the situation in the Heavenly Sword Palace very thoroughly.

In fact, he concealed two points.

The most precious inheritance in the Tomb of Rebirth has already been taken by him.

The remaining sword cultivation inheritances are all inferior to the one he possesses.

In addition, he also concealed information about the Sword Domain Remains.

As the greatest opportunity in the Heavenly Sword Palace, he naturally wouldn't give it away so easily.

Even the fourth prince, who was completely devoted to him, would feel the same way.

……

In the palace.

Fang Heng sat cross-legged in the quiet room.

Having agreed to lend Pei Qingxuan a hand in the Heavenly Sword Palace, he naturally needed to make some preparations.

The Yellow Springs Pointing the Way is naturally the best way to save one's life.

If he encounters danger, he can directly leave the Heavenly Sword Palace via the Yellow Springs Road.

However, having a way to save one's life is not enough.

The Instantaneous Strike, though incredibly powerful, requires him and Pei Qingxuan to use it together.

If the two are accidentally separated, the Instantaneous Connection technique will be unusable.

Therefore, Fang Heng needs other methods.

Opening the destiny chart panel, his gaze fell on the "Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune" destiny chart.

I thought silently in my heart.

[Presence foreshadows avoidance of misfortune (Red)] → [Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune (Gold)]
