The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

Upon hearing this, the monk Wunian paused again.

What Li Yunqing said makes a lot of sense.

For a moment, he couldn't find a suitable rebuttal.

Moreover, it was only then that he realized that although the girl in front of him was still gentle and quiet, she was ruthless towards her enemies.

That calmness left no room for negotiation.

"Please wait, female benefactor!"

Seeing Li Yunqing turn to return to the carriage, Monk Wunian quickly spoke up: "This person is named Qi Feihong. He has been slaying demons and monsters in the Tai Mang Mountains for more than ten years, saving countless lives."

"Please, female benefactor, for the sake of the people he saved, grant them a cure."

Li Yunqing paused, her tone calm: "He saved the people, and I admire him greatly, but he is my enemy."

"The enemy is never within my scope of treatment."

"Monk Wunian, there's no need for further words, please return!"

The tone was calm and gentle, yet carried an undeniable authority.

She would naturally not turn a blind eye to her close relatives and friends.

But she understood one thing even more clearly: to be lenient with the enemy is to be cruel to oneself.

She crippled all those martial arts practitioners, simply because of their status; in this world where the strong are respected, they were destined to suffer even more misery.

Falling from the pinnacle of the martial arts world to the mortal realm, even falling below the level of ordinary people, such a fall from grace meant he was destined not to live long.

If she were to change her identity, she would leave no survivors, just like Qin Yu and those cultists.

"Female benefactor, I can guarantee he will never be your enemy again!"

Monk Wunian quickly spoke up, saying, "I see that you, female benefactor, possess a finger technique. Our Buddhist sect has a unique skill called the Formless Finger Technique."

"All phenomena are formless, yet calamity manifests at the slightest touch. I wonder if you, virtuous lady, could intervene and save its life?"

"The Formless Finger of Calamity?"

Li Yunqing paused slightly, about to refuse, when Yuan Qing's voice suddenly entered her mind: "You can have this unique skill."

"Why?" Li Yunqing replied telepathically.

The fact that she didn't kill the enemy again shows that she was already being kind-hearted.

Saving the enemy was never on her agenda.

"All phenomena are without form... This is described by a Buddhist supernatural power from the era of immortals and gods."

"All things in heaven and earth are contained within the palm of one's hand, also known as the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of one's hand."

"Although it has become a martial arts finger technique, I think it is because no one can use the true meaning of the Five Elements to influence the power of all things in the world that it is like this."

"You're different. You possess the Frosty Sword Intent and have comprehended the essence of Water and Fire. If you were to further comprehend the true essence of Metal, Wood, and Earth, this finger technique could probably kill even a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm!"

Of course, there were some things that Yuan Qing couldn't say.

That is, Li Yunqing can control flying swords. If she can really use her magic power, then the greatest use of this supernatural ability is to trap enemies.

Once the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand appears, it can trap even those in the Divine Realm for a short while, let alone those in the Profound Realm.

"Buddhist supernatural powers, a Buddhist kingdom in the palm of one's hand?"

"The true meaning of the Five Elements?"

Li Yunqing paused slightly, indeed tempted.

The image of Sun Wukong being suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain even came to mind.

That must be another way of using the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of your hand, where the meaning of the five elements transforms into mountains, connecting the power of heaven and earth, and suppressing all things.

If she could truly cultivate the power of supernatural abilities... no! Even if it were only a fraction or two of their power, she wouldn't fear those in the Profound Realm, or even the Divine Realm.

Moreover, she also wanted to see how immortal powers transformed into martial arts techniques.

This will greatly help her comprehend the cultivation method of immortal martial arts power.

"Female benefactor, I may add one more piece of information!"

"No! Regardless of whether the female benefactor can cure her or not, this humble monk is willing to tell you."

Seeing that Li Yunqing had been pondering for a long time, Monk Wunian quickly spoke up again: "The ambush by people from the martial arts world was all carried out by the Third Prince on orders."

"Those martial arts practitioners that the female benefactor spared were all slaughtered by her, and the news spread throughout the martial arts world."

"You may encounter even greater obstacles on your path ahead, female benefactor!"

"If you, female benefactor, are willing to offer assistance, Qi Feihong and I are willing to lend a hand at a crucial moment. What do you say?"

"The female benefactor herself is not afraid, but the lives of these guards are also lives."

After saying so much in one breath, Wu Nian's mouth was dry.

This is already the greatest sincerity he can express.

If the girl in front of him refused again, he really had no choice but to say that it was Qi Feihong's fate to die here.

Even Buddha couldn't keep it.

"As expected of royalty, the Third Prince? I'll remember that."

Li Yunqing had already guessed this, and upon hearing this, she glanced at the guards around her and made a decision instantly.

"Okay! I agree!"

"No matter how dangerous the attacks may be in the future, you only need to protect my guards and maids and keep them alive."

She couldn't possibly ignore the guards who had served her all the way.

She naturally wouldn't want to see someone who was good to her die.

It has nothing to do with anything else; it's just the most basic bottom line for a modern soul living in this world.

She didn't want to sacrifice the people around her for anything else.

With longevity, one is destined to obtain what one desires, but the future will inevitably bring separation and death.

Rather than feeling guilty after these people die, it's better to be more forgiving while they are alive.

I have a clear conscience and I have no regrets towards my family and friends who have been by my side.

That's enough.

"despair!"

Li Yunqing lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure rising gracefully and slowly landing beside Monk Wunian.

With a slight lift of his right hand, several Ghost Needles pierced into Qi Feihong's chest.

The Seven Deadly Poisons Life-Sustaining Needle.

Qi Feihong's complexion rosy at a visible speed.

Then she reached out her fingers and gently placed them on Qi Feihong's wrist, circulating the Medicine King Scripture.

She drew away all the icy cold energy within Qi Feihong's body, which had surpassed the level of a thousand-year-old poison.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Feihong's breathing had stabilized.

Li Yunqing took out a pill and handed it to Monk Wunian, saying, "Feed him this pill, and he will recover in three days."

Having agreed to provide treatment, she naturally did not shirk her responsibilities in the slightest.

"Is that all?"

Wu Nian took the pill and subconsciously spoke up.

too fast.

He thought it would be a lot of trouble, but he never expected that such a serious injury could be healed in three days.

"Um."

Li Yunqing nodded calmly and said, "You can give me the Formless Tribulation Finger now."

"I didn't bring it with me!"

Smelling the unique fragrance of the young girl's body, Wu Nian's face flushed slightly, and he quickly said, "I can recite it for you from memory."

His master was a grandmaster of the Buddhist Xuan Realm, and he grew up in a Buddhist community, so he had a lot of martial arts knowledge in his head.

The Formless Finger Technique is one of them, but unfortunately, this finger technique looks very powerful.

In theory, the power doubles with each new understanding of a concept.

If one comprehends the essence of the Five Elements, and understands the cycle of mutual generation and restraint among them, one can break through the power of heaven and earth with a single finger.

But this is only in theory.

Life is short, only a few decades. Even if one has a sense of artistic conception, it takes several or even more years of cultivation to achieve that state of mind.

Who has the time to comprehend five or even more realms of meaning?

However, without comprehending further meaning, the power of the Formless Finger is not much different from that of ordinary high-grade cultivation techniques.

"Just recite it to me when you have some free time!"

Li Yunqing spoke, looking at the increasingly red face of Monk Wunian, and felt somewhat speechless.

Has this monk never been in contact with a woman?

Even from a distance of ten feet, they were so shy, their faces as red as monkey bottoms?

She didn't say much, pretending not to see it, left a sentence, and then got up and went back to the carriage.

"I will have the guards give you one of their horses."

"Just follow."

"Or, you don't have to follow, just appear in time if we are attacked and protect my guards and maids."

"Thank you very much, Benefactor Yunqing!"

Wu Nian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Just as he finished expressing his gratitude, his master's voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Tsk, you still say you didn't come for that young lady?"

"So you don't want to leave?"

"That's true, how can an old man like me compare to a young girl?"

"You call yourself 'Master' all the time in front of your master, so why are you such a coward in front of this beautiful woman?"

"Giving away cultivation techniques and escorting him... what a spineless fellow! Don't ever say you're my disciple when you go out!"

"Furthermore, the path is chosen by oneself; whether one becomes a Buddha or a demon is entirely up to one's own thought!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Nian was immediately stunned. He wanted to explain, but he couldn't find his master anywhere.

But he understood the meaning behind his master's words.

Those who can overcome the barriers of emotion are Buddhas; those who cannot are demons.

No wonder his master didn't stop him from coming here, and even seemed to encourage and instigate him.

Being surrounded by such a stunning beauty was a form of spiritual practice for him at that moment.

Even Buddhist records contain fragments of information from the era of immortals and gods.

There was a high-ranking Buddhist monk who lived in a brothel for a hundred years, just to understand the seven emotions and six desires, and the physical appearance.

"But this should be a man's instinctive appreciation and affection for a stunningly beautiful woman."

"Monks are men too, it's perfectly normal for them to have preferences, it has nothing to do with love!"

Thinking of this, Wu Nian couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll actually get involved?"

"After becoming a demon... he destroyed Buddhism?"
