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

Chapter 176 The Vermilion Bird Venerable Enters the Palace of Stars (3.5k)

Li Xijun used her inner energy to gently nourish her exhausted sister in her arms.

As his true energy circulated and nourished Li Qinghan's meridians, his complexion began to improve visibly.

This made Li Xijun marvel at the wonder of the people in this martial arts world.

No matter the type of injury, as long as the meridians and acupoints are protected by true qi, and then gently nourished, recovery can be rapid.

In contrast,

The internal energy of the Great Sheng World is much inferior. Without acupoints and meridians, its utilization efficiency is far inferior to that of true qi.

Thinking about this, an idea popped into Li Xijun's mind:

"The martial arts of the Great Sheng World have reached the limit of internal cultivation of the physical body and developed the fist intent of the spirit, but they still cannot break through the ancestral aperture and release it to contact the outside world in order to avoid being contaminated."

"It seems that if we want them to make further progress, we still need to enable them to develop acupoints and meridians like the Transcendent Warriors in the main world and the Warriors in this world."

He made up his mind as soon as the idea came to him.

However, the direction is certainly correct.

However, enabling martial artists in the Dasheng world to possess meridians and acupoints is a challenge.

Li Xijun doesn't have any practical ideas yet.

at the same time,

"Um"

The voice coming from her arms instantly drew all of Li Xijun's attention.

He quickly withdrew his remaining true energy and looked carefully at his sister in his arms.

Surprisingly, Li Qinghan, who was three years older than him, was unexpectedly thin and slender.

This is a stark contrast to her cold, domineering, and assertive demeanor when she first appeared.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Li Xijun's gaze remained fixed on the frailty of her sister in her arms, a stark contrast to her usual appearance. Li Qinghan's subtle shift of her body and turning her face away added to her rare vulnerability and shyness.

at this time

"Hehe... little guy, your eyes are quite mischievous."

A lazy, slightly playful voice suddenly rang out beside him!

Li Xijun was startled and instinctively turned her head to look in the direction of the sound!

On the once deserted ruins, just a few feet away from him, the space rippled slightly, like the surface of water where a pebble had been thrown in.

The next instant, golden-red flames silently ignited out of thin air, not as raging as the most magnificent silk curtains, but as smooth as flowing silk, outlining a breathtaking silhouette.

That noble, voluptuous figure, seemingly embodying all the mature splendor of the world, descended silently.

A mature woman wearing a long palace dress with gold flame patterns appeared in the ruined courtyard.

She simply stood there casually, yet her tall and voluptuous figure naturally became the focus of attention.

Her plump, slender legs were faintly visible through the slit in her skirt, and the luxurious skirt accentuated her perfect curves.

Her long, jet-black hair was loosely tied up with a phoenix-shaped, crimson-gold hairpin.

A few strands of hair fell across her smooth, full forehead and slender neck.

And on her face, as noble and mature as a blooming peony...

At this moment, with a lazy smile playing on her lips, her beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at the boy holding Li Qinghan with great interest.

She first glanced at Li Qinghan, who was in her arms, before turning to Li Xijun and speaking with a light laugh:

"Have you seen enough, little brother? Do you find me pleasing to the eye now?"

As she said this, she deliberately winked at Li Xijun.

really,

Li Qinghan, who was originally recuperating, suddenly couldn't stay still any longer.

She immediately stood up, her brows furrowed slightly, and spoke with a cold and sharp tone:

"Teacher, as a Grandmaster of the Earth Ranking and the Vermilion Bird Venerable, you should at least show some demeanor of an elder!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my little Qinghan is right. Your master is the most dignified and composed."

The Vermilion Bird Venerable lazily dragged out his melody, his phoenix eyes filled with a deeper smile, and he even deliberately puffed out his proud chest. His posture had no trace of "elderly demeanor" and instead added a touch of mature and charming allure.

Li Qinghan frowned even more, and obvious displeasure and a hint of helplessness appeared on his usually cold face.

She knew her teacher's temperament well; the more serious the demands, the more she would tease her.

"Teacher!" Li Qinghan's voice carried a hint of warning.

"Hehe, I won't tease you youngsters anymore."

The Vermilion Bird Venerable seemed satisfied, his red lips curving into a lazy smile.

"This place is filthy and bloody; it's not a good place to reminisce." Venerable Vermilion Bird slightly raised her jade hand, the movement as casual as brushing away a wisp of dust.

"Buzz!"

With a light tap of her fingertip, the entire ruined courtyard seemed to tremble slightly!

In an instant,

Li Xijun and Li Qinghan both clearly felt that the invisible power of heaven and earth around them gathered like a gentle stream, eventually transforming into a soft yet overwhelming lifting force that gently enveloped and lifted them up!

The scorched earth and broken walls beneath our feet vanished in an instant.

"I'm gone."

The Vermilion Bird Venerable parted his red lips slightly and uttered two words.

next moment,

Her figure transformed into a streak of crimson flame, soaring into the sky with speed as if teleporting, yet possessing the unhurried elegance of a divine bird in flight.

The power of heaven and earth that enveloped Li Xijun and Li Qinghan followed closely behind, as if drawn by invisible threads, rising steadily and swiftly into the air.

Li Xijun felt unsteady on her feet, the wind whistling in her ears. She looked down...

The Li family mansion, which had been transformed into a battlefield and reduced to ruins, shrank rapidly in view. The corpses, bloodstains, and mess all over the ground became blurred and were eventually swallowed up by the boundless night.

They did not transform into flames like the Vermilion Bird Venerable; rather, they seemed to be carried by an invisible, enormous current of air as they flew.

It was extremely fast, yet remarkably smooth; you couldn't feel even the slightest bump.

Li Xijun could even clearly see the outline of Beiman City rushing past below, with lights scattered like stars.

Li Qinghan stood beside Li Xijun, her face still somewhat pale, but her posture was upright, her cool gaze fixed on the golden-red light leading the way.

She seemed to be used to it, but the surrounding power of heaven and earth made her clothes flutter, adding to her otherworldly sword immortal appearance.

When Li Xijun experienced this feeling, he realized the difference between this world and the main world.

Although the powerful beings in both worlds are able to merge the inner and outer realms, they can manipulate and control the great power of heaven and earth with every move they make.

but,

The essence of martial arts in this world is more like practicing "qi cultivation".

From the first realm of martial arts onwards, martial artists in this world rely on acupoints and meridians to continuously cultivate qi. Later, they accumulate true qi in the dantian. The realm of opening acupoints also involves using true qi to rush through the nine acupoints and nourish the physical body.

After the outdoor scenes, the inner energy of the universe is used to mobilize the power of the outer world.

Compared to warriors in the main world,

The techniques of the powerful beings in this world are more advanced, their swordsmanship and other moves are more wondrous, and their use of energy is more sophisticated.

However, in terms of physical strength, they are not as good as the powerful beings in the outer realm of the main world who have undergone the Transcendent Transformation.

He subconsciously looked at the golden-red figure in the night sky ahead. Her mature figure, illuminated by the flowing firelight, resembled a goddess riding heavenly fire.

"If I calculate it this way, I will have a significant advantage in terms of physical strength when fighting against the strongest people in this world in the future. Of course, the same applies to mental strength, as I have the ability to visualize."

"I just don't know when I'll be able to compete with the powerful figures from the outside world. No matter which world it is, any martial artist who can mobilize the spiritual energy of the outside world is incredibly powerful."

"Stop looking, the wind is strong and it'll dazzle your eyes."

A lazy laugh came from ahead, clearly reaching Li Xijun's ears, tinged with a hint of mischief.

Li Qinghan also turned her head, her icy gaze fixed on him.

Li Xijun quickly withdrew his gaze, silently considering the combat power of this world, preparing to one day encounter an unlucky guy and let him witness the power of his true form, perhaps even delivering a kill on first meeting.

Those powerful beings at the outer realms who can harness the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can fly at extremely high speeds.

Moreover, Venerable Zhuque is a renowned master of the Outer Realm on the Earthly Ranking.

quickly,

Li Xijun was then taken to the vicinity of the capital city in this martial arts world.

In the Great Xia Dynasty, the Star Palace has always maintained a good relationship with the imperial court, and there were even rumors of a connection between the Azure Dragon Venerable and the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty.

But only a moment later...

Before Li Xijun appeared a towering mountain peak that seemed to reach into the clouds, with over 90,000 white marble steps leading all the way to the summit. Countless outer disciples of the Star Palace silently ascended these steps.

Putting everything else aside, the sight of clouds and mist shrouding the place, with thousands of people making pilgrimages, is enough to inspire awe in anyone who visits for the first time, allowing them to feel the extraordinary depth and majesty of the Palace of Stars.

However, it is clear that Venerable Vermilion Bird will not lead the two of them up the jade steps.

The power of heaven and earth enveloping Li Xijun and Li Qinghan, under her guidance, not only did not slow down, but suddenly accelerated, transforming into an invisible stream of light that pierced straight through the seemingly dense clouds and mist at the mountainside.

Li Xijun felt the scene before her blur for a moment, as if she had passed through a curtain of water, and the whistling wind in her ears suddenly stopped. The next moment, everything became clear.

They have crossed the mountainside directly and reached the area near the summit.

The long jade steps below and the disciples climbing like ants suddenly seemed small and distant. A completely different scene unfolded before them:

A vast platform plaza, carved from a single block of dark mountain rock, is as smooth as a mirror, as if cleaved by a divine sword. Its edge is a bottomless abyss, and clouds and mist surge below the platform, like a celestial sea.

At the end of the square stands a magnificent and imposing palace complex supported by twenty-eight giant pillars.

These palaces are not glittering and magnificent, but rather predominantly black, deep blue, and moon white, adorned with silver star patterns. They are layered and staggered, with the main hall at the highest point seemingly connecting with the sky, shrouded in a faint starlight, exuding an ancient, majestic, and profound aura.

This made Li Xijun realize even more that this world, which seemed to be a martial arts world, probably had extremely high potential.

Legend has it that beyond the Nine Heavens of the Outer Realm lies a highly accomplished being who has attained the Dharma Body.

There are only seven people on the entire Heavenly Ranking, all of whom possess heaven-reaching and earth-shattering power, almost like immortals and gods.

I wonder who would be stronger, the Martial Saint or the Martial Saint of the main world?

Just as Li Xijun was thinking this, the Vermilion Bird Venerable in front spoke up:

"Little brother, according to the rules of the Star Palace, one cannot enter the inner sect without reaching the Enlightenment Realm."

"I will place you at the entrance of the alien palace. When you arrive, you only need to give your sister's name."

Li Xijun nodded slightly, then looked at Li Qinghan beside her.

She calmly echoed this, adding the following instructions:

"I have gained some insights from tonight's battle and will need to go into seclusion to break through. You should focus on your cultivation in the outer sect. If you encounter anyone deliberately causing trouble, act within your capabilities. I will deal with these people after I emerge from seclusion."

After saying this, Li Qinghan hesitated for a moment.

But after thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Venerable Zhuque and reached out to her as if asking for something.

This mature and sophisticated woman then took out a piece of Nine Dragon Jade and tossed it into Li Qinghan's hand.

Li Xijun found the jade pendant somewhat familiar, while Li Qinghan continued to offer instructions:

"There is a technique above. Learn it first, and when the time is right, I will help you master the true 'Emperor's Aura Observation, Killing with a Laugh'."

"But remember, you must not show this to anyone, nor expose it to outsiders during practice."

Li Xijun nodded even more quickly upon hearing this.

He immediately understood why Li Qinghan had been able to accurately pierce through the half-step outer realm martial artist's outer realm killing move with a single sword strike.

She had actually mastered the true "Emperor's Aura Observation Technique".
