The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"Buzz!"

The void trembled, and a sudden gust of wind arose.

The Five Elements True Meaning circulated at Li Yunqing's fingertips, radiating a five-colored divine light under the impetus of immortal martial power.

At that moment, heaven and earth resonated, and the invisible power of heaven and earth subtly manifested.

It took shape from the power of the vast earth, upon which the boundless essence of vegetation flowed, firelight and golden light shone, and water vapor formed a sea.

All five of the most fundamental forces of heaven and earth were activated.

Almost instantly, an invisible force was applied to Li Yunqing's fingertips.

"Buzz!"

Endless power converged and transformed into a finger as clear and lustrous as jade, with distinct joints, straight and slender.

The moment the jade finger appeared, it pierced through the void and disappeared like a stream of jade-colored light, appearing in front of Lan Hai and pointing directly at his brow.

Unable to control the forces of heaven and earth, one naturally cannot act as freely as in the Xuanjing realm.

However, triggering and resonance can also make a move more powerful.

"She can actually manipulate the power of heaven and earth!"

"Move! Hurry up!"

Lan Hai was filled with fear.

Bound by an invisible force, his movements seemed to slow down a thousand times, every single one of them moving at an extreme slowness, like a tortoise crawling.

"No! I control the power of heaven and earth; no one can kill me except for a Grandmaster of the same realm!"

Lan Hai roared inwardly, his eyes bulging, surrounded by a vast current of water that desperately protected him.

As a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm, apart from those who are also in the Profound Realm and can break through the power of heaven and earth, no one below the Profound Realm can break through his power.

This is why he dared to show himself and target the disciple of the Cangshan Sword Saint as soon as he broke through.

When he was defeated by the Sword Saint with a single sword strike, in front of countless people, it was as if his reputation as a renowned figure in the martial arts world at the Qi Realm level had been utterly humiliated.

She's just an ordinary woman with some looks. He, a mere Qi Realm cultivator, wants her. Shouldn't a woman, a resource that can be plundered, be cleaned up and offered herself to serve him?

But because of such a trivial matter, he was humiliated by the Sword Saint of Cangshan and became a laughing stock in the martial arts world.

He hated the Cangshan Sword Saint to the core, but he could never find an opportunity, nor did he dare to face the Cangshan Sword Saint.

Now that he has broken through to the Profound Realm and become a Grandmaster in the world, he should be full of vigor and pride. This is definitely the best time.

He couldn't target the Sword Saint of Cangshan, but his disciples were completely at his mercy.

But now, facing this finger, he actually felt a sense of crisis.

A life-or-death crisis.

"Pfft!"

Her slender, jade-like fingers, gleaming with multicolored divine light, instantly shattered the surrounding天地势 (heaven and earth aura) of the blue sea.

It can be clearly seen that the water flowing around Lan Yu was suppressed by a finger and dented inward.

What's even more terrifying is that five-colored divine light manifested on that jade finger, which actually melted the power of heaven and earth, creating a hole in the finger.

Although the speed of that jade finger also decreased significantly, it continued to move forward, heading towards Lan Hai's brow.

"What kind of power is this? How could it possibly break through the barriers of heaven and earth?"

"Is she really at the Qi Realm?"

Lan Hai was filled with fear, sweat poured down his forehead, and it was as if the spirits of the dead had been startled out of his body.

"What?"

"She broke through the great forces of heaven and earth?"

"How is this possible?"

"Isn't she at the Qi Realm?"

"What kind of martial art is this?"

The people around were also stunned by this scene, their eyes wide open as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets.

Yet they were unable to move, bound by an invisible force, and only endless fear rose in their hearts.

If they can even break through the great forces of heaven and earth, wouldn't killing them be as easy as turning one's hand?

"Pfft..."

Her slender, jade-like fingers moved forward relentlessly, dissolving the imposing presence of heaven and earth before Lan Hai.

It swiftly approached Lan Hai's brow.

As the fingers drew ever closer and continued to dart down, Lan Hai was terrified, yet his movements remained slow and he was unable to escape.

He could only watch helplessly as that jade finger drew ever closer.

"No!"

Lan Hai exclaimed in shock, his eyes bloodshot as if they were about to burst.

The force of heaven and earth in front of him was completely pierced by that finger.

"Buzz!"

Her slender, jade-like fingers touched Lan Hai's brow.

The next moment, Lan Hai froze, and the light in his eyes vanished instantly.

The jade finger did not stop, leaving a hole in his forehead.

Even as half of his head exploded instantly, it still pierced through the void for dozens of meters before gradually dissipating.

"this?"

Seeing a dignified Grandmaster of the Profound Realm killed with a single finger, everyone's foreheads instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"elder sister!"

Li Yunqing felt reassured and ignored everyone else, leaping up to embrace Yuan Qing.

"sharp!"

Yuan Qing whispered, and the intense white light around her extinguished, making her body mostly illusory.

With the power of the Qi Realm, he pointed and killed someone in the Profound Realm, shattering the myth that those below the Profound Realm were all ants.

After this incident, my sister will probably become famous throughout the world.

At that moment, the invisible binding force dissipated, and everyone immediately regained control of their bodies.

Even so, they were all trembling with fear.

"escape!"

Almost instantly, the thirty-odd martial arts practitioners ran wildly into the distance without hesitation.

They vanished in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, deep in the mountains, the Third Prince's expression changed drastically: "Quickly! Go back!"

He originally intended to appear and save Li Yunqing when she was in dire straits, so that she would devote herself to him.

Little did he expect that a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm would appear, thus disrupting all his plans.

But now, all that remains in his heart is gratitude, immense gratitude.

He could even kill a Grandmaster of the Profound Realm. If his plan failed and Li Yunqing realized what was happening, he probably wouldn't survive either.

As for stopping Li Yunqing, it was nothing compared to his own life.

Even if I fail, at most I'll just be disliked by my father and get a scolding.

He knew which was more important, life or death.

"Let's go! Back to Beijing!"

The third prince, accompanied by two guards, sped away, leaving everyone else in the dust.

Li Yunqing paid no attention to those enemies.

Instead, she held Yuanqing in her arms, her tone heavy: "Sister, I can handle this."

Compared to enemies, friends and family are clearly more important.

Having a long lifespan, she doesn't need to care about anything else, since no treasure is precious to her.

The only people she truly cares about are those around her.

Those who are truly sincere to her, and the truest feelings, unrelated to any emotions other than romantic love.

"I know!" Yuan Qing whispered.

She nestled into Li Yunqing's arms and laughed, "Sister isn't stupid. You're unwilling to reveal anything because it's a secret that can't be exposed!"

"A secret? If others know, it's no longer a secret!"

"As a woman myself, I can understand your worries, and what you're thinking is all correct!"

"Whether in the era of immortals and gods, or even earlier, beautiful and talented women are resources—resources that can be plundered at will by the stronger!"

"This has never changed throughout history."

"It's driven not only by desire, but also by self-interest."

"Women are linked to inheritance, population, and offspring; this entanglement of desires and interests can never be avoided."

"Once something is linked to desire and profit, all living beings in the world will flock to it."

"In the past, it would have been fine, but things are different now. No matter what kind of desire it is, it is not worth mentioning in the face of life and death."

"To survive, living beings in this world will do anything, including those lingering resentments of gods and immortals."

"Since you call me 'sister,' no matter how despicable I may be..."

"I will never let my sister be imprisoned."

"Besides, I don't have a physical body and am destined to be reincarnated, so it won't matter if I consume some of my Yang spirit power."

Li Yunqing remained silent upon hearing Yuan Qing's words.

What doesn't she understand? This is the nature and instinct of living beings.

When faced with life and death, anything can happen.

The noble will sacrifice their lives for righteousness, while the base will be even more shameless and disgusting.

But how many truly virtuous people have there been throughout history?

On the contrary, the despicable are endless and can never be eradicated.

She, Li Yunqing, would never gamble everything, including her body, on someone else's character.

Human nature cannot withstand gambling, much less testing.

"Can it be restored?"

Looking at Yuan Qing's almost translucent body, Li Yunqing asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qing chuckled softly, and in her heart, she regarded Li Yunqing as her true younger sister even more.

The moment Li Yunqing killed Xuan Jing, she didn't target the enemies; instead, she immediately pulled Xuan Jing into her arms.

They are loyal and devoted to their relatives and friends.

Show no mercy to the enemy.

How could she not love such a wonderful younger sister?

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing smiled and said:

"Yes, as long as you let me hug you?"
