Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 171 The Emperor's Aura Observation Technique (Fourth Update)

However, the eerie sword light followed like a shadow, as if it were alive.

Missing its target, the attack suddenly shifted mid-air, changing from a straight thrust to a horizontal slash. Its trajectory was cunning and insidious, aiming directly at Li Yan's waist and abdomen. The speed not only did not decrease, but actually increased, tearing the air apart and emitting a short, piercing shriek.

A warning bell rang in Li Yan's mind, and he dared not hold back in the slightest.

His waist twisted at an incredible angle, and at the same time, he poured his true energy into both palms and slammed them down!

A piercing clang of metal rang out, sparks flying in the darkness.

He narrowly escaped by striking the side of the sword with the edge of his palm.

The immense force sent numbness through his arm, and he used the momentum to stagger back several feet before landing awkwardly, his breathing slightly disordered.

"It's still not enough. It still can't see through my attack. I'm afraid I can only master the 'Emperor's Qi Observation Technique' when I reach the Opening Acupoint Realm and open my eyes."

Li Jingde's tone betrayed his disappointment.

"Master, it is your disciple's incompetence."

Seeing the other party's posture, Li Yan was about to bow and apologize, but Li Jingde stepped forward and stopped him.

"Absolutely not! You are of such high status, how can you perform such a grand gesture towards me?"

Li Jingde's attitude changed swiftly, and he immediately spoke:

"The reason I did that just now is because the 'Emperor's Aura Observation Technique' is a superior martial art in the 'Eight Desolations Dragon Control True Chapter'. If you can learn it sooner, it will greatly benefit you in your future martial arts battles."

"However, given your performance just now, you may be able to use the Nine Dragon Jade starting tonight, and use the Emperor's Qi within it to master the 'Emperor's Qi Observation Technique' within seven days."

These words made Li Yan hesitate.

"Master, do we really have to use this Nine Dragon Jade?"

"Rest assured, after use, only the imperial aura will disappear. It will still be perfectly safe as a token of identity in the future."

At Li Jingde's urging, Li Yan took out the Nine Dragon Jade, which he had carried with him since he could remember.

If someone were to observe closely, they would discover countless extremely fine characters on this small jade pendant.

What is engraved is the "Emperor's Aura Observation Technique," a top-tier martial art.

After lingering for a moment, he instantly absorbed one of the [Emperor's Qi] into his body as his internal energy circulated.

The Nine Dragon Jade in Li Yan's palm suddenly became scalding hot.

A condensed, tangible golden dragon aura rose from the jade and forcefully penetrated into the Laogong acupoint in the palm!

His whole body trembled violently, as if nine streams of molten lava were surging through his meridians, and his true qi in his dantian was spinning and expanding wildly, almost breaking through his dantian.

"Your Highness, guard your mind!" Li Jingde's low shout was like a thunderclap.

Li Yan endured the excruciating pain of burning his meridians and veins, following the secret method of the "Eight Desolate Dragon Control True Chapter".

Continuously absorb this imperial energy, as the true energy circulates within the body in circles, until the very last moment.

"Buzz—!"

The tremor that had been acting on his soul made him suddenly open his eyes.

The whole world has been completely turned upside down!

The moonlight was no longer a cold, silvery glow, but a flowing, milky-white radiance, imbued with the earth's natural light and subtle crystalline texture.

A thin, yellowish-brown vapor rises from the soil beneath our feet, swirling around the grass roots like mist.

But what shocked him the most was his master, Li Jingde, who was right next to him!

In Li Yan's vision at this moment, Li Jingde was no longer a physical human figure.

His body was enveloped in a thick, dark, and malevolent killing aura, like rolling ink, which was dense and persistent, yet tightly suppressed by a deep and heavy dark golden aura of the ups and downs of officialdom.

"This...this is the Emperor's Aura Observation?!" Li Yan's voice was hoarse, and he was dizzy from the shock of observing the aura of all things.

"Excellent!" A terrifying glint flashed in Li Jingde's eyes, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Quick! Observe my swordplay!"

Without moving, the long sword was silently drawn again, transforming into a pale white streak that was faster and more unpredictable than before, piercing straight for Li Yan's face!

This time, in Li Yan's "vision", everything slowed down.

He "saw" the pale sword light tearing through the flowing moonlight and earth energy;

He "saw" the death energy condensed at the tip of the sword plowing a tiny vacuum trail through the air.

He also "saw" a barely perceptible stagnation in Li Jingde's shoulder blades.

That is an unavoidable and fleeting flaw when the old forces are exhausted and the new forces are being transformed!

"Three inches below the left shoulder, there is a space for the flow of Qi!"

Li Yan almost instinctively let out a low shout, his body reacting simultaneously.

He no longer tried to fight head-on; instead, he lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a leaf lifted by the wind of the sword, he easily dodged the attack.

At the same time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, gathering a line of newly refined pale golden imperial dragon energy at his fingertips, and pointed it with perfect precision at three inches below Li Jingde's left shoulder—that dark vortex that suddenly magnified in the field of vision!

"laugh!"

The wind pierced through the air, instantly shattering that perfectly flowing point of energy!

The sword light that Li Jingde thrust out trembled suddenly, and its trajectory deviated by an extremely slight degree.

The deadly sword tip grazed past Li Yan's ear, severing a few strands of his hair.

The forest was deathly silent.

Li Jingde slowly sheathed his sword, revealing a very satisfied smile.

"The emperor can observe the qi (vital energy) and kill people with a few words."

"You have been able to master this martial art, which originates from the supreme divine skill, 'The True Chapter of the Eight Desolations Dragon Control'."

In future battles during the Enlightenment Realm, they will be invincible, and their ascension to the Human Ranking is a foregone conclusion.

Li Yan stared blankly at his fingers.

Although it only took a few moves, his true energy was completely depleted by the "Emperor's Qi Observation Technique".

However, the sense of control he felt over everything in the world, the flow of energy, and all that was within his "eyes" was incredibly captivating.

Especially after hearing Li Jingde's words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

Before long, he will be able to follow Li Xijun and, with Li Qinghan as a stepping stone, smoothly enter the Palace of Stars.

According to the rules of the Star Palace, disciples who have cultivated to the point of enlightenment can enter the inner sect.

However, for an inner disciple to become a true disciple, they need to be listed on the Human Ranking.

Only then will they have a chance to compete for the twenty-eight true disciples representing the twenty-eight constellations.

He acquired one-quarter of the supreme divine skills and techniques, including "Azure Dragon Yi Wood Longevity Technique", "Vermilion Bird Fire Burning Heaven Scripture", "Black Tortoise Sea Suppression and Earth Covering Method", and "White Tiger Seven Killings God Slaughtering Manual".

Looking at it this way, I realize that my master really did it for my own good!

He was overjoyed for a moment.

Li Jingde, who looked very kind and pleased, also praised her repeatedly.

It wasn't until the master and disciple parted ways, and Li Yan returned to his room to meditate as usual instead of sleeping,

Relieved, Li Jingde then wrote several secret letters in his study.

The white wind doves, which had already been trained, flew one by one into the distant night sky and gradually disappeared from sight.

Having finished all this, Li Jingde sat back down in his study chair, finally showing signs of fatigue.

He casually wiped his face, removing the beard that was stuck to his face and placing it aside, his eyes becoming empty and vacant.

"Phew, after so many years of preparation, it's all in ten days!"
