As True Qi erupted from his fingertips, eighteen streams of Earth Vein Qi shot into the sky like great dragons, tearing a hundred-li-long rift through the vast purple clouds.
Witnessing such an unparalleled surge of power from the summit of Qingwei Mountain, the surrounding thirty-five peaks responded in kind, each erupting with a green light that enveloped its summit.
"Sect Leader Shen, should we..."
On Cyan Nether Peak, Lu Jiuxiao cupped his hands toward Shen Wuya to ask.
Shen Wuya was silent for a long moment before finally sighing, "This is what he deserves."
Bi Yuan had schemed and forged alliances for this, paying an enormous price in secret and conceding many benefits. Shen Wuya could find no fault in his methods. If they refused to cooperate now, it would surely create a pretext for dissent, destabilizing his authority in the future.
Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao nodded slightly. With a single leap, he landed on the Magic Altar set up on Cyan Nether Peak. He performed the Dou Gang steps, formed a Taoist Technique with his hands, and began to chant. With his Gang Qi, he forcefully drew upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, concentrating it onto the Gilded Copper Pillar before him.
In an instant, another beam of green light shot out, flooding the mountaintop.
On a distant mountain peak, Chu Cangming ground his teeth so hard they nearly shattered as he watched this scene.
"How does he have the right? How does he dare..."
At that moment, Bi Yuan flicked his sleeve. The eighteen Gilded Copper Pillars simultaneously flared with a blinding golden light. From their tops, the Spirit-Guiding Beads erupted with dazzling columns of light that shot straight toward the heavens.
In that instant, all Thirty-Six Peaks of the Taoist Sect trembled in unison.
On the summit of Jade Sky Peak, the robes of First Seat Daoist Master Xuan Ji whipped about him. He swept his duster, and beneath his feet, the Magic Altar illuminated with the All Heaven Star Array Map.
The Spirit-Guiding Bead atop the Gilded Copper Pillar burst with a blinding silver radiance. A dazzling column of light pierced the Nine Heavens, shining in concert with the green light from the main peak of Qingwei Mountain.
"Stars of the Celestial Sphere, heed my command!"
The three Elders chanted in unison, their voices resonant as a great temple bell.
In that instant, though night had not yet fallen, a phantom image of the Big Dipper manifested in the sky. The handle of the dipper pointed directly toward the Jade Capital Imperial City, a thousand li distant.
The Profound Celestial Treasure Talisman in Bi Yuan’s hand unrolled of its own accord, despite the lack of wind. On the ancient scroll, crimson patterns writhed like living things, weaving with the golden light from the pillars to form a talismanic net that blotted out the sky.
This Profound Celestial Treasure Talisman had always been a treasure used to channel all manner of Spiritual Qi. Now, at the final moment, it dissolved into motes of starlight that merged into the array, releasing its final, brilliant glory.
BOOM!
A deep, thunderous tremor emanated from the depths of the Earth Vein. A palpable vibration instantly shot toward Jade Capital City.
Within Jade Capital City, the Profound Armor Imperial Guard of the Imperial City Department were startled to feel the flagstones beneath their feet grow hot. The moat churned with waves despite the windless air. The Earth Qi of the Kan Li Dragon Transformation Array, dormant for a millennium, was being forcibly drawn out!
In the Astronomical Bureau, the Celestial Sphere Instrument was spinning frantically. Supervisor Guo Lang stared in the direction of Qingwei Mountain, his face tight. "The Taoist Sect is draining the Imperial City’s Dragon Vein Qi! How dare they?!"
The three Supreme Elders had already taken their positions, sitting cross-legged in the Three Talents Array Formation.
Elder Chang Mei pointed two fingers like a sword toward the east, and a wisp of purple qi shot through the air from the land of the rising sun.
The elder in the center formed the Meridian Technique hand seal, and the mountains and rivers of the Great Zhou’s domain materialized upon the Profound Jade Platform beneath his feet.
Drawing upon the frenzied Spiritual Qi surging from the Earth Vein below, a verdant qi suddenly erupted around the white-haired old crone, washing over her body like a spring tide.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, her withered white hair shed its frosty hue, turning from root to tip into a silken black waterfall. Her wrinkled skin smoothed out as if caressed by an unseen hand, revealing a luminous luster like the finest jade. Her hunched back slowly straightened, and a sound like thunder rolling through bones and sinews came from beneath her robes.
When the green qi dissipated, the decrepit old woman was nowhere to be seen.
In her place sat a peerless, cross-legged beauty with features as if from a painting. Her almond-shaped eyes twinkled like stars, her lips were the color of vermilion, and a cyan lotus mark had appeared between her brows, ceaselessly pulsing with vitality.
Wisps of the lingering green qi coiled around her fingertips, every strand brimming with immense vitality.
’I didn’t expect to have a breakthrough in my Cyan Wood Evergreen Skill at a time like this.’
"Junior Sister?!"
The elder in the center stared at the beautiful woman, his expression momentarily dazed.
"I never thought I’d see you as you were in your youth again."
The beauty shot the elder a look and huffed. "That’s enough. My great-grandson is already nearing the age of fifty. You’d best give up on those thoughts."
The elder in the center gave a wry smile, but in the next instant, he focused his Heart and Spirit. He drove his True Qi, using the Magic Altar to gather the power of the Earth Vein and move the very heavens and earth.
"Earth Evil to your stations! Celestial Spirits, hang inverted!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Amid Bi Yuan’s sharp cry, the entirety of Qingwei Mountain suddenly rose three inches!
Dense golden Dao Patterns materialized on the mountain’s surface. The characters swam like tadpoles toward the center of the Magic Altar. On the Profound Jade Platform where Xu Yunfan once trained, they converged into a golden pillar of light connecting heaven and earth.
A thousand li away in Jade Capital City, the Empress violently pushed aside the palace maid supporting her. freēwēbnovel.com
"Taoist Sect... Taoist Sect! How dare they! How dare they!!!"
Her gaunt fingers dug into the armrests of the dragon throne. Reflected in her cloudy pupils was the Profound Yellow Earth Qi gushing from beneath the Imperial City. This was the Dragon Vein Qi that was supposed to be nourishing her, but now, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it was surging toward a single location within the Seventy-Two Districts of Jade Capital City!
-----------------
"What’s that noise?!"
Xu Yunfan snapped his head up, his indigo robes fluttering without any wind.
As far as his eyes could see, the entire sky was dyed with Profound Yellow Qi. The flagstones of the arena floor fractured and split. The Earth Vein Dragon Qi, dormant for hundreds of years, erupted skyward like a volcano before surging directly toward him!
BOOM!
With no time to react, a Profound Yellow Qi Pillar ten zhang in diameter descended from the sky and completely engulfed Xu Yunfan.
In the stands, the teacup in the hands of the steward from Prince Mu’s Mansion shattered with a POP. The faces of the experts from the Imperial City Department twitched uncontrollably. Even the Commander, seated calmly on the high dais, shot to his feet, his pupils shrinking beneath his Mystic Iron Face Armor!
"How can this be? What is this?"
"The Great Zhou Dragon Vein... why is it spitting out Profound Yellow Qi?!"
The instant the Profound Yellow Qi entered his body, a sound like popping soybeans burst from all of Xu Yunfan’s bones.
His Jade Marrow Golden Bone, a result of reaching the Great Success stage in the Yijing Marrow Cleansing Skill, began to condense even further as a gilded luster appeared deep within his marrow.
Countless blood-red markings, condensed from his Ten Extremes Martial Arts, appeared on the surface of his skin. Each mark writhed like a living creature, converting the rampaging Earth Vein Qi into pure energy.
KRAK!
A crystalline bone spur suddenly pierced through his left shoulder blade, only to be instantly covered by newly formed flesh.
’You are undergoing a cleansing by Profound Yellow Qi. Your physical constitution is being strengthened.’
’Your Ten Extremes Martial Arts is improving significantly.’
’Your physique is rapidly improving.’
’You...’
The Attribute Panel in his field of view was scrolling frantically. Xu Yunfan could clearly feel his heart beating at some profound frequency. Each beat pumped out blood laced with golden filaments. Wherever this blood flowed, his muscle fibers tightened and re-wove themselves like steel cables.
The sound of a rushing river echoed from within his abdomen.
Xu Yunfan had no choice but to circulate his Ten Extremes Martial Arts with all his might, causing all his condensed Strength to erupt from around the Mixed Element True Seed to continuously refine the influx of Profound Yellow Qi.
At this point, how could he not understand what was happening?
It had to be his master, Bi Yuan, and the others. From the Taoist Sect, thousands of li away from Jade Capital City, they had erected a Magic Altar to channel the Earth Vein and infuse his body with its power.
’With such power, what was the difference between them and Immortals?’
