Eternal Life

Encountering Fang Qing Xue Again

The Yu’hua School’s true disciples consisted of 108 disciples, each one occupying their own scenic mountain peak surrounded by dense amounts of qi. They looked down from above. Sometimes, these disciples would come down from their peaks to teach outer and inner court disciples, and pick a couple whom they could confide in to become their followers.

True disciples had great status within the school, and personally possessed great strength.

The true disciples were ranked using a three-six-nine grading system. Amidst the 108 true disciples, the most powerful disciple was none other than Hua Tian Dou. In the world of pract.i.tioners, he had the t.i.tle of ‘Child of Heaven’. Compared with the elders of the Ten Immortal Schools, his status was no lower than their status.

It was also rumored that he was the one with the greatest chance of breaking through the ten levels of the Divine Realm and entering the Longevity Realm.

Boundless power and immeasurable techniques.

The ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ was the magic treasure that he had used before he had reached enlightenment, but since reaching the Divine Realm, he had no need for it anymore. Thus, he had loaned it to sister disciple Mo so that she could behead the enemy and receive a ‘Yin Yang Longevity Pellet’ so she could breakthrough. Upon becoming a true disciple, she would join his side.

“I felt that there was suddenly a problem with the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’, and then it lost connection with my spirit, so something definitely happened to it. Who dares to steal my pure Yang treasure!”

Hua Tian Dou paid no attention to Yuan Jian Kong’s words, his face turning ice cold, and the temperature of the air around him decreasing. Upon the ground, a thick layer of ice appeared.

Especially around Mo and the other inner court disciples, as well as the Da’de princes and princesses and Liu Kang, the layer of ice grew extremely thick, completely encasing them together, like a coffin of ice. Their bodily functions, along with the powerful poison inside them, completely froze.

“Ge ge ge, ge ge ge.”

Jade light flashed around Yuan Jian Kong’s body. Teeth chattering, he felt the chill deeply penetrating his body, and as if he had also been frozen stiff.

Even though he wore ling’qi clothes and had cultivated to the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ level, he was unable to withstand Hua Tian Dou’s casual usage of freezing qi. Just how strong would Hua Tian Dou be when he used Divine Power?

“Senior brother Hua’s ‘Profound Dark Sky Freezing Energy’ would cause even ghosts to freeze over. If it hit me directly, I’m afraid that even if I wore ten layers of ling’qi level clothes, I would still immediately be turned into frozen powder and broken,” said Yuan Jian Kong, frightened by the display of power.

The ‘Profound Dark Sky Freezing Energy’ was the best of the Yu’hua School’s eight Divine Realm Techniques. Just with the wave of a hand, one could freeze the earths and heavens, seal the great rivers, and tower above others.

However, Hua Tian Dou’s current usage of the ‘Profound Dark Sky Freezing Energy’ was not to kill, but to save. By freezing these people’s vitality, he showed his cleverness, and that he had already understood the idea of melting with cleansing fire.

[TL: This last sentence was kinda iffy. It didn’t make sense to me at all]

“Senior brother Hua, our flying swords were all taken. The ‘Pink Prince’ is also gone. It was definitely the ‘Pink Prince’ who took all of them. My ‘Silver Snake Sword’ was also rendered useless by the ‘Six Wishes Yin Mine’. I hope senior brother Hua can help me.”

Yuan Jian Kong was unable to imagine not having his ‘Silver Snake Sword’.

“I must first bring them back to the school. The matter of these ling’qi will be left for later. Yuan Jian Kong, I’ve said this many times, but relying on a ling’qi can only enhance your killing power. It will not have any benefits toward your cultivation. Losing your ‘Silver Snake Sword’, perhaps it will help you breakthrough into the Divine Realm.”

Hua Tian Dou coldly laughed, “However, the ‘Sky Rooster Yang Rope’ is priceless. To think that someone was able to immediately cleanse the spiritual mark I left on it. It definitely, however, isn’t something that someone at the level of the ‘Pink Prince’ could do. Even ten ‘Pink Princes’ wouldn’t be able to do it. I wonder if some of the Devil Sect elders came and took it. I must return and inform the school elders and headmaster! Let us head back for now. I will instruct an elder to make you another flying sword.”

Amid their talking, Hua Tian Dou opened his hand, and a cloud the size of a couple mu flew down from the sky. It picked up the frozen disciples and flew back up into the sky. Stepping onto the cloud, Hua Tian Dou flew away.

[TL: 1 Mu = 614.4/666.66 meters squared according to Wikipedia]

This cloud wasn’t a magic treasure, but rather a usage of Divine Power. By forming divine power into an array, he was able to condense a cloud and ride it.

This suddenly condensed cloud was even more powerful than magic treasures.

‘Soaring Cloud Riding Mist’ was indeed a great Divine Power!

Yuan Jian Kong quickly followed, flying at low alt.i.tude.
When wearing ling’qi clothes, one couldn’t fly too high, and could only glide at low alt.i.tudes. One also couldn’t fly too quickly, or else the wind would blow through the protection, disrupting the array and resulting in one falling from the sky to their death.

Even when Fang Han rode on Crane Fairy, they couldn’t fly between the clouds, and could only fly on the streams of air below. Even at that alt.i.tude, Fang Han had to hide within Crane Fairy’s feathers to avoid freezing.

“Fang Han, how were you able to suddenly make the ‘Pink Prince’ disappear? Just what kind of magic treasure do you have on your body? Even if it is a bao’qi, there is no way for it to contain have a spatial tear connecting to the void! Unless, unless on your body you have one of the legendary dao’qi. Only dao’qi level magic treasures can connect with the void and fit everything within a s.p.a.ce the size of a gourd.”

Suddenly landing on a sand dune, Hong Yi stared over Fang Han’s body, as if she was looking for clues.

She couldn’t help but feel shocked.

Just now, when Fang Han had sealed the ‘Pink Prince’s corpse, the fact that it had disappeared without a trace definitely meant that there was a legendary dao’qi on Fang Han’s body.

A dao’qi!
What kind of notion was this?

Even the Yu’hua School, such a huge Immortal Path School with such a long history and in control of tens upon hundreds of empires, only had a few dao’qi.

“The secret hidden upon my body, the less that know the better. If too many learn of it, there will be no benefit to you either. It would be best for you to stop asking before you go too far. I’ve already cleansed the poisons from the ‘True Blue Sword’ and erased senior sister Mo’s blood contract. You can bind it now.”

Fang Han slightly moved his hand, and another trickle of yellow water appeared, pulling out the ‘True Blue Sword’ from within. He handed it to Hong Yi.

“Okay, I’ll stop asking. We killed Liu Kang and taken away the flying swords. That is already a large enough secret. If the Yu’hua School elders learn of it, we are dead. Fortunately, no one saw us, and we can just return saying that we were saved and lucky to escape with our lives. Anyway, we will make something up. The school will not deeply inquire about us as we are just two lowly outer court disciples.”

Hong Yi used the sword to cut her finger, and let a drop of blood drip onto the sword. Immediately, the ‘True Blue Sword’ let off a smell of flesh and blood.

The ‘True Blue Sword’s blood binding had already been erased by the Huang’quan River’s power, and was now just blank, as if it had just come off the furnace. Hong Yi’s blood dripped onto it and thus completely a blood binding, forming a telepathic bond. Even if it killed others, it wouldn’t be contaminated by their blood, and thusly wouldn’t form a blood binding with other people.

A blank piece of paper, upon being drawn on, couldn’t be used again by others. Unless one was in the Divine Realm, it was impossible to cleanse the blood binding.

After binding the ‘True Blue Sword’, Hong Yi was very satisfied, “We should travel to Blue Moon City. We cannot expose our flying swords, and your ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’ are too eye catching.”

“That’s right!” Fang Han took off the ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’ and stored them in the Yellow Spring Picture, “Then let us walk to Blue Moon City. The ‘Blood Cotton Devil Clothes’ cannot fly above the clouds, and Crane Fairy cannot either.”

Amid their conversation, the two hastened their bodies, and they began walking towards the center of the desert towards Blue Moon City.

[TL: It says walking, but keep in mind their walking is not walking in reality]

After walking in the desert for three days, oases and a long river finally appeared in front of their eyes, a scene of blue skies and clear water. On the road, Fang Han and Hong Yi had trained with each other every day, practicing swordsmanship and becoming tougher, vaguely feeling ever so closer to entering the ‘Spiritual Expert’ level.

“This is a Blue Moon River! Following this river to the end, we will reach Blue Moon Country. However, we should be cautious as we traverse, as desert bandits and Underground Abyss Devils are currently besieging Blue Moon Country. Along this river, there will definitely be a camp of desert bandits and Devils,” reminded Hong Yi.

Just when she finished speaking, in the distance above the Blue Moon River, a sky stopping black qi suddenly erupted out, rushing straight through the sky like a wolf.

“‘Sky Wolf Seven Evil Spirits Smoke’!”
Fang Han’s heart jumped, and he hurriedly pulled Hong Yi with him to the ground.

Afterwards, he saw the wolf-like smoke be enveloped by purple electricity, which like a thunderbolt of yin thunder, abruptly cut the smoke into two halves.

“‘Purple Yin Lightning Knife’! It’s Fang Qing Xue!”

Fang Han’s heart jumped again.
