Dark Immortal Cultivation

An unnamed ancient ruin.

Zhang Qing stood on a collapsed stone pillar, his gaze fixed on the vast mountain range shrouded in black mist in the distance.

He stood still for a moment, then suddenly moved.

The next moment, Zhang Qing darted forward more than ten steps, lightly touched the grass with his toes, and then accelerated and flew away.

He was like an eagle spreading its wings, soaring close to the ground. Although he did not take off and fly straight into the sky, he still created a strong wind as he passed by.

Zhang Qing was using the "Land Leap Technique" that he had just mastered.

This spell is very famous and is regarded as a life-saving technique for Qi Refining cultivators—if you can't beat them, run away; and if you run, run fast!

Therefore, any cultivator who enters the mid-stage of Qi Refining will first learn the "Spiritual Light Protection Technique," and the second most likely spell will be the "Land Flight Technique," so as to ensure their life is protected to the greatest extent.

Like the "Aura Protection Technique", the "Land Flight Technique" also has a learning threshold.

However, this threshold is not entirely based on cultivation level.

Although Zhang Qing was only a Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator, his main cultivation technique, the "Mysterious Illumination Light Technique," was extremely advanced. A single breath of true qi circulated continuously within his body, which was enough to support the mana requirements for casting this spell.

Therefore, he mastered the "Land Flight Technique" earlier than most cultivators.

Moreover, unlike those cultivators who were just beginning their training, Zhang Qing's "Land Flight Technique" was fluid and agile, carrying an indescribable charm.

He flew for several miles before finally landing beside a pile of ruins.

This ancient ruin is far from the Black Mist Zone, has no value and is deserted, so it is both remote and safe.

In the past few days, Zhang Qing has been practicing various martial arts techniques here.

In the instant he stopped, he suddenly raised his right hand.

With a flick of his wrist, palm facing upwards, a ball of crimson flame instantly materialized.

In the blink of an eye, the egg-sized ball of blazing fire twisted and deformed violently, actually materializing into the shape of a crow.

Immediately afterwards, the fiery red crow spread its wings and soared straight into the sky.

The fire crow rapidly expanded in size, leaving a long trail of flame in the air before plunging into the grass like an arrow.

boom!

The moment it crashed into the grass, the fire crow suddenly exploded, sending countless flames flying in all directions.

The scale of the attack was quite alarming!

Zhang Qing withdrew his right hand, his dark eyes reflecting the scattered sparks of fire.

The biggest difference between the Fire Crow Technique and the Blazing Fire Technique is that the latter is "dead," while the former has been given a spiritual quality, making it far superior in both attack power and the finesse of its manipulation.

Zhang Qing is currently only a beginner, and can only cast one fire crow at a time.

As his cultivation level continues to rise, the fire crows that continuously appear will become two, three, four...

Even more!

Not only that, as long as it is within the range of his spiritual vision, he can control all the fire crows he releases at will.

It made it perform all sorts of bizarre and incomprehensible attack actions.

Target detected, target locked, fire crows released, attacking multiple targets simultaneously...

The potential of Fire Raven Technique is much higher than that of Blazing Fire Technique!

Of course, this is only true if his skill in the "Blazing Fire Technique" had reached the "subtle" level.

To think that one could master the Fire Crow Technique, which is more than one level more difficult, so quickly is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Zhang Qing made the most of all his previous hard work!

After practicing the "Land Leap Technique" and the "Fire Crow Technique," Zhang Qing once again turned his gaze to the distant mountains.

After practicing all the techniques, the lingering warmth of the fire in his palm slowly dissipated, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

After many days of arduous training, he had finally mastered the basics of both techniques and was now ready to test his skills!

He didn't linger, and unleashed the "Land Leap Technique" once more.

A strong wind whistled past his ears as Zhang Qing's figure skimmed along the ground, speeding towards the distant, mist-shrouded, vast mountain range.

This black mist mountain range is a place where ferocious beasts roam on the outskirts of the nameless ancient ruins. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is mixed with yin and evil energy, and low-level ferocious beasts often appear here. It is just right for him to test his newly cultivated techniques.

After flying for more than ten miles, the surrounding vegetation gradually became barren, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood and decaying earth.

The wind howled in the nearby dense forest, carrying a hint of danger.

Zhang Qing slowed down and then unleashed his spiritual sense, perceiving all the movements within a radius of several hundred steps.

A moment later, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

From the depths of the dense forest to the left, a heavy thud suddenly came, accompanied by heavy breathing and the crisp sound of grass and trees being torn apart.

Zhang Qing moved swiftly and stealthily toward the direction from which the sound came.

Before long, he parted the overgrown weeds.

In the clearing ahead, a ferocious beast, more than half a person's height, was gnawing on a mangled animal carcass.

The beast's body was covered with black scales, covered with irregular dark patterns, and two pairs of curved fangs were exposed, making it look extremely ferocious.

Its body was filled with murderous aura, probably because it had just finished a battle. It was extremely alert, its ears were twitching incessantly, and its scarlet eyes were scanning its surroundings warily.

Zhang Qing, who was dozens of steps away, witnessed this scene. He immediately raised his right hand, his fingertips glowing, and his pure true energy surged into his palm, instantly unleashing a torrent of magical power.

Now, Zhang Qing has become increasingly adept at controlling his own magical power. Crimson flames rapidly condensed in his palm, forming a ball of blazing fire in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the blazing fire transformed into a crow!

call!

The fire crow flapped its wings and flew out, instantly transforming into a streak of crimson light that drew a long trail in the air before closing in on the ferocious beast!

The ferocious beast, which was feasting, suddenly looked up, its scarlet pupils shrinking sharply.

It instinctively sensed great danger, hastily abandoned the corpse, and tried to dodge by pushing off the ground with its limbs.

However, the fire crow was extremely agile and was firmly controlled by Zhang Qing's spiritual sense, closely following his movements and changing direction to pursue him.

They gave the target no chance to escape.

boom!

The fire crow crashed hard into the beast's head!

The blazing flames exploded with a deafening roar, scattering sparks everywhere, and the scalding waves of fire instantly swept in all directions.

The black scales on the surface of the ferocious beast's head were blown to pieces, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

The bones are showing!

Not only that, the splashing flames landed on its body and continued to burn.

The intense heat cracked the scales and seeped into the muscles, bones, and flesh!

It couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching scream, rolled to the ground and struggled desperately, trying to extinguish the flames on its body.

However, the flames of the Fire Crow Technique are different from ordinary fires. They are born from magical power and have extremely strong adhesion. Once you are touched, it is difficult to break free.

As the fire gradually subsided, only a charred animal carcass remained on the ground!
