Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 230 The Terrifying True Seal, the Speech of the Head
Do you know what it feels like to be surrounded by three thousand beauties in the imperial harem every day, and all you can do is sigh in vain?

Do you know what it feels like when your lifespan is about to run out, and no matter how much vitality you accumulate in your body, you will inevitably reach the end of your life?

"Do you know what it feels like to have mastered the Ten Directions Seal [Form] character for a full 180 years, just when you're about to take another step forward, achieve perfection, and leave your mark on the rules of heaven and earth, only to have your position usurped by a junior who hasn't even grown up yet?"

The old eunuch knew everything.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Thinking back on all these years, I've been carefully releasing various imprint patterns that have lost some of their essence, and I thought that learning from others might help me improve and that I could master this divine skill sooner.

He didn't believe that anyone in the world could walk that endless road and reach the summit using only incomplete diagrams.

Neither Lu Chengyun, with his extraordinary mental fortitude, nor the clever little monk obsessed with studying the human body could do it.

Everything they do will become resources for their advancement, allowing them to live a second life. By mending their foundations, they can advance to the level of a supreme grandmaster and have the hope of achieving immortality.

As a result, all of this vanished after Lu Wubing demonstrated the power of "all the life force of heaven and earth returns to my body".

"No, you're still one step away. You're only at the Lesser Perfection stage, leaving only a silhouette and not yet having a defined position. There's still a chance."

The old eunuch stared intently at Lu Wubing, a fierce wind arose around him, a huge white lotus phantom bloomed behind him, and a murky blood abyss faintly appeared beneath his feet. With a slight lunge, he was in front of Lu Wubing and struck out with a palm.

Lu Wubing's eyes narrowed slightly.

The stench filled my nostrils, yet I felt a sweet fragrance in my heart; though it was bright daytime before my eyes, the surroundings seemed pitch black.

Apart from the white lotus and the sea of ​​blood, there was nothing else to be seen.

He could only vaguely sense a black and white hand pressing against his chest.

"boom……"

The violent and overwhelming killing intent that had been firmly suppressed in his mind suddenly lost its restraint and rushed straight to the top of his head.

The flesh writhed, and sharp horns seemed to grow rapidly from both sides of the forehead, their hairs protruding. A faint purple light shone in the eyes, and suddenly, it was as if a gaping maw opened within the mind, ready to devour and destroy everything.

Past lives and present lives are nothing but a grand dream.

What joy is there in living, what fear is there in dying? Everything is... emptiness!

At this moment, his heart gradually grew indifferent, feeling that all the delusions of his past and present lives were utterly worthless. The seemingly vibrant world before him, the people and things that appeared worthy of cherishing and remembrance, were all illusions. Nothing else existed except himself.

"wake up."

A booming voice, like the sound of a great bell, rebuked him in his mind.

Lu Wubing also spoke up, shouting, "Wake up."

Then, I saw a withered hand in front of me, with black and white colors spinning rapidly in the palm, as if trying to drag me into reincarnation.

In another life.

Snapped!
He gently placed a palm on Lu Wubing's chest.

They haven't even started yet.

Lu Wubing's chest bones and muscles were like an inflating balloon, collapsing inward, collapsing continuously until they were as thin as a sheet of paper.

The black and white energy surged forward wildly, but it flowed through the rocks like water, passing by his sides and striking the void behind him.

A palace collapsed with a loud thud, turning into ruins.

"Not good."

The old eunuch combined his life's cultivation with boundless resentment, converging it into a single palm strike: [Life and Death Reincarnation].

At the same time, he exerted force from three directions: intention, momentum, and strength, aiming to catch the opponent off guard for a moment and just barely hit Lu Wubing's chest. However, the force was completely dissipated.

He felt a chill run down his spine and lost all confidence in defeating his opponent.

With a stomp of his foot, he transformed into a bloody shadow and vanished into thin air.

The moment his body began to ethereal, his palm felt the rebound from the other's chest, and an unparalleled force pressed down like a mountain or a sea.

Click...

His metacarpals, arm bones, and sternum were all smashed to pieces.

Just as blood, flesh, and bone were about to scatter everywhere, the old eunuch roared, his spirit becoming as tangible as ever, firmly stopping his collapse.

Life surged forth like a tide, completely repairing the arm and sternum... The figure swayed slightly, and had already stepped thirty feet away.

With a slight tap on the palace roof, it flew to the side and rear like a phantom.

This time, he was truly afraid.

His signature lotus body and blood shadow techniques failed to harm his opponent.

Even the [Reincarnation Palm], which he had painstakingly learned over thirteen years as his trump card, was essentially useless against the opponent's incredibly powerful physique.

I've tried every trick in the book.

Ultimately, it all comes down to strength and skill.

In both of these areas, they are not at a disadvantage.

Even its physical recovery ability was outmatched.

If they keep fighting like this, they'll die.

The closer one gets to the last few years of life, the more one cherishes life and fears death.

Although the old eunuch lived a life that was neither human nor ghost, he truly cherished his life.

Seeing that things were not going well, it flew away.

With the blessing of the true essence of the Returning to Truth Realm, each step of the Void Step is as if one has truly stepped into the void, invisible and unstoppable.

Even when Lu Wubing activated his Fangcun Step technique, which had reached the limit level, and his feet could almost shrink the ground, he was still a step slower because he had lost the initiative.

As expected of an old fellow who can rival the speed of the Eight Swords of the Dragon Subduing Swords and the Flowing Light Sword solely through his movement and thrusting techniques.

Just as the blood shadow reappeared, they had already crossed the city wall.

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant came from ahead.

Dark clouds rolled across the horizon, and golden rays of light pierced through, revealing a golden Buddha's hand that seemed to fall like a mountain peak.

What Blood Shadow, what Void Step?

Within the vast expanse of the Buddha's palm, it is like a mosquito in the very center of the Buddha's palm.

Mosquitoes can fly fast.

The speed at which the palms clapped was also quite fast.

Snapped……

The blood-red phantom darted diagonally at great speed.

His figure paused slightly, and a streak of light passed through.

A long white rainbow pierced the sky, stretching across the horizon.

The old monk's figure also appeared, and his robes were quickly stained with blood.

A bloody hole the size of a chopstick appeared in the heart area, open from front to back.

Before he knew it, the old eunuch had used his Blood Shadow Thrust technique to pierce his internal organs, causing his life force to drop drastically.

He gave a wry smile.

Shake your head secretly.

He thought to himself that he was still arrogant and thought he could hold out for a while.

He only managed to block one attack before his heart was pierced by the opponent.

Fortunately, at the most dangerous moment, he used the method of pulling and releasing to divert the opponent's blood-red true essence, which had been condensed to its extreme, slightly, so that it only pierced a corner of the heart and was not too seriously injured.

Fortunately, that Prajna Palm strike landed squarely, sending the opponent flying back...

With a sharp "hiss" sound.

The old eunuch's forehead was pierced by the needle and shattered into powder.

A faint light and shadow flickered in the void, and Lu Wubing's figure, wielding a sword, seemed to emerge from the ripples of water.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The violent and ferocious intent had not yet dissipated; blood could still be seen flowing from both sides of his head.

The old eunuch's "Life and Death Reincarnation Palm" didn't land a solid blow.

However, it truly affected his mind and his body.

No wonder, the old eunuch said at the beginning that when he fought his grandfather Lu Chengyun, he was struck by a sword and also struck Lu Chengyun with a palm, which aroused his demonic intent, and he was doomed.

Lu Wubing finally understood why he had been unable to control the demonic thoughts in his heart.

This thing can also naturally absorb the demonic and evil intent between heaven and earth to grow.

Once you discover your weaknesses, immediately launch a counterattack.

The evil intent of the primordial spirit has never disappeared; it has only always been hidden.

Lu Wubing forcibly suppressed this restless evil intent, his eyes sometimes bloodshot and sometimes clear and deep, and thrust out with his sword.

As soon as the sword was drawn, the Flowing Light Sword, supported by the evil intent of the primordial spirit, changed its appearance this time.

It was as if it had disappeared into the void, leaving no trace.

He was still drawing his sword from a distance.

The sword's edge extended, already reaching the old eunuch's brow.

puff……

Blood splattered, bones burst open. The tall, muscular body, crimson with blood on its head, was still alive.

The fleshy buds, like demonic insects awakening, bared their fangs and claws, and the muscles and bones on their heads grew rapidly.

His speed increased rapidly, and he sped off in another direction.

"They really know how to escape; they didn't die even after all that."

Lu Wubing gained a deeper understanding of the character "形" (shape) in seal carving.

A complete and flawless seal of the character "形" (shape) will produce this effect once it is thoroughly understood.

There are absolutely no vital organs on the body.

Even though he had just pierced the old man's brow with his peerless sword, causing his true energy to surge and shatter half of the old man's head, he was still not dead.

When it runs, it's as fast as a streak of blood.

To come and go freely.

He followed closely behind the old eunuch, but he had to admit that the other's footwork and movement were only slightly inferior to his own.

With such a narrow line, if you go in a straight line, you naturally won't be able to escape.

However, the old eunuch swiftly changed direction in mid-air.

Like a rabbit being chased by a tiger, it always changes direction at the most dangerous moment.

Fortunately, we had made thorough preparations beforehand.

Lu Wubing thought to himself.

Then I heard a loud shout coming from a distance ahead.

"This road is blocked."

Ahead lay a flat plain, and further on, the Wei River surged with waves.

A streak of blood-red light flashed through the air, lightly touching the ground, like a fleeting illusion, almost unreal. It was about to traverse hundreds of feet and plunge into the Wei River.

An old Taoist priest suddenly appeared from the mud and grass.

The old Taoist priest formed a hand seal and struck with both arms.

A faint, swirling aura emanates from before him, like an ancient, verdant pine tree.

With a single palm strike, it was as if a tree branch had fallen, sealing off the surrounding void...

Orange-yellow air currents surged, and the ground soil churned, as if the entire earth was being swept back upside down.

"court death."

The old eunuch was furious.

Just when it seemed like they were about to escape, someone still tried to stop them.

But he's not exactly weak either...

When the opponent made his move, his true energy was vast. With a single palm strike, he drew upon the earth and wood elements of the world, as if a hundred-foot-high wall had been erected before his eyes.

If you dive headfirst into it, you're bound to get hurt.

In a fit of rage, he spun his black and white palms together with a booming sound, and forcefully rammed into the object.

Compared to the long sword that followed behind like a ghost in a hanging boot.

He'd rather risk everything on this high wall.

The old Taoist priest chuckled softly, and the giant pine tree and earthen wall in front of him suddenly turned into an illusion. His hand seal changed to a sharp crane beak shape and gently pecked at the black and white palms.

A muffled thud.

The Taoist priest, Qingyun, was pale and had a dazed look in his eyes as he flew backward.

Bleeding from the corners of the mouth.

The old eunuch, however, had blood dripping from his palms and his whole body twitching slightly.

He stepped into the air and staggered forward.

A bright, snowy rainbow swept past.

A long, dark trail of light tore through the air.

For a long time.

chi...

The old eunuch's gray-haired head stood up straight.

This time, blood was streaming from his neck, yet he continued to charge forward.

It rushed for hundreds of feet, still three feet away from the Wei River, when it fell to the ground with a thud, twitching slightly.

The head that had been blown off its back had now mostly recovered. It fell to the ground, rolled seventeen or eighteen times, covered in mud, grass, and sweat, its eyes still forced open, its mouth opening and closing as it hissed, "I refuse to accept this!"

"You've lived for nearly two hundred years, and you still can't understand the Ten Directions Seal Diagram. Even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to use it. What makes you so dissatisfied?"

"you!"

The round, gray head seemed to be rendered speechless by this sentence. Its skin turned redder and redder, its eyes bulged wider and wider, and with a snap, it burst open with a large amount of dirty blood, then remained motionless.

"It's really weird."

The old Taoist priest clicked his tongue, squatted down, and tugged at the head, his eyes full of amazement.

"No matter how bizarre it is, you still only have one life?"

The bloodlust in Lu Wubing's eyes faded quietly, and his brow furrowed slightly without his noticing.

He thought to himself that this evil spirit was more troublesome than he had imagined.

The opponent must have learned the [Life and Death Reincarnation] palm technique from somewhere, and it can even attract demonic intent and trigger hidden dangers.

With a single palm strike, he smashed the old eunuch's hideous head into a bloody mist.

This time, there was no sign of recovery whatsoever.

It was assumed that the other party's life force had been exhausted, or that it had lost the nourishment of its body and could not recover on its own, as there was no life force left.

Let's look at the headless body again.

The body had fully recovered and was only occasionally twitching; otherwise, it made no other movements.

It makes sense when you think about it.

Without a head, even if the body retains some memory, it would probably only be a few subtle instincts.

They've also lost the ability to think... staying still is the best course of action.

Lu Wubing carefully searched the old eunuch's inner pocket and then checked his cuffs before shaking his head and standing up.

He slapped the body to pieces, creating a crater in the ground that buried it.

It's not that he has a kind heart.

This old eunuch probably didn't do anything good in his life, but he certainly did a lot of bad things.

Judging from his tone, it seems that he has been accumulating essence by sucking blood all these years.

He deserved to die without a complete corpse.

Even though we buried him, we were still worried that someone unlucky enough to come into contact with his body and blood might get poisoned.

"I didn't bring the Ten Directions Seal with me. I'll go back and check."

Lu Wubing has now basically figured out that the Ten Directions Seal, this magical secret technique, seems to be related to some kind of opportunity or position.

Therefore, the old eunuch felt as if he had lost his mother when he saw that he had achieved minor perfection in his seal technique.

If that's the case, given my level of cultivation, I don't need to worry about others learning it and surpassing me. Of course, if someone is one of our own and learns this kind of harmless seal, it's not a big deal, as long as they can comprehend it.

Thinking of how difficult the old eunuch was to kill, Lu Wubing was only relieved that the old fellow hadn't learned a difficult-to-break Golden Body Technique.

I don't know if it's because he lacks talent in this area, or because he doesn't have the right opportunities.

If his Golden Body Technique were cultivated to be as solid and unbreakable as his own Crystal Golden Body, he might win today's battle, but killing his opponent would be extremely difficult.

If you can't even cut his neck, how can you kill him?
Putting himself in that situation, Lu Wubing thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed an unsolvable problem.

Imagine if you had channeled all the life force into your body, even protecting your head.

With such a golden body level, being injured or penetrated is nothing to him. In this world, who can kill him?

wrong.

"Besides the physical body, there is also the soul."

Thinking back to the momentary lapse in concentration he had experienced earlier, and the violent surge of evil intent within his consciousness, Lu Wubing forcibly suppressed his smugness.

I thought to myself that I shouldn't be too arrogant.

We must proceed with caution.

The character "形" (xíng) is indeed not on the old eunuch's person.

So, most likely, it's at his residence.

Lu Wubing flew back to the Cold Palace and, following a premonition, found a spacious and secluded house.

Upon opening the door, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
