Chapter 463 Part 1: Who Is the Supreme Genius (1)
Swish……
A white rainbow pierced through the sky, leaving a long white trail in the sky.
Qiao Mu was in a hurry.
He was in a hurry to go meet his fate.
Before, he went alone to attack the Zhong Province Great Dao Sect, but he didn’t die.
Without the leader of the Great Dao Sect, the cultivators dared not venture out and could only stay within the sect’s defensive formation.
For an ordinary martial artist, this was already a remarkable victory.
But for Qiao Mu, he was not satisfied.
Because what he asked for, was a death.
"Who else besides the Great Dao Sect can kill me?"
Qiao Mu’s heart was filled with this long-lasting doubt.
In these past few days.
He hurried from Kuafu Mountain in the Western Province to Zhong Province, lingered for a few days at the Wuji Association, and then traveled around Zhong Province, splitting his forces.
All in all, it actually took many days.
So he was indeed quite anxious.
"If you don’t kill me now, I will just resurrect again."
Resurrection is not a problem, worst case scenario, just poke my brain hole and die five more times.
But waiting for at least five hundred years was a big problem for Qiao Mu.
"Former Human Transformation: Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps!"
His whole body squirmed with flesh and blood, as pores emerged on his back, releasing streams of air.
At the same time, clusters of True Strength clouds occasionally formed under his feet, as he dashed crazily through the air.
……………………………………..
In Nan Province, above the mountains.
At this moment, an Immortal Boat broke through the sky, with myriad rays of rosy clouds, presenting a magnificent scene of immortals on patrol.
However, at this moment, inside one of the golden palaces pulled by flying horses.
The leader of the Great Dao Sect had an extremely gloomy expression.
Before, he heard that members of the Qiao family took advantage of him leading people out of the sect and wreaked havoc on the temples in Zhong Province.
He could endure it because even if the temples were destroyed, as long as he could defeat the Qiao family members, he could rebuild and have room to maneuver.
Later, Elder Qingyi, who managed worldly affairs in the sect, was killed, and the top-ranked temple in the Imperial Capital was destroyed… and he could still endure.
Although appearance matters, in the current situation, if he left the sect, he was not completely confident in defeating Qiao Shuangtu.
When Qiao Shuangtu attacked Great Dao Sect alone… he couldn’t bear it anymore.
In the end, he realized that whether he endured it or not, it was of no use.
Even with layers of great formations shielding him, his dharma body was ultimately killed by the Qiao family members. Later, the two Qiao Shuangtu besieged the Great Dao Sect, making a declaration…
"This is going too far… where is the dignity of our Great Dao Sect?"
The sect leader of Great Dao Sect looked so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
The Great Dao Sect controls Zhong Province, just as Qiao Mu said, and is quietly becoming the leader among the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates.
But before the encirclement by the five major Immortal Gates, the Great Dao Sect was unexpectedly attacked by a member of the Qiao family in such a way… This is more than just a matter of face.
The Qiao family set boundaries and stationed one person to guard the Great Dao Sect… If the Great Dao Sect does not strike back fiercely, other Immortal Gates may soon covet Zhong Province.
As for Qingzhuo’s way of handling…
It indeed seems a bit petty and embarrassing.
If the leader of the Great Dao Sect was present, things would not have turned out like this.
But upon careful consideration, even the leader of the Great Dao Sect cannot think of a better solution at the moment.
In the eyes of the leader of the Great Dao Sect, the key to the current situation is still the upcoming battle of the five major Immortal Gates.
If the Qiao family member can be completely eliminated, then there may be a chance to undo everything that has happened before.
Otherwise, if you sneak back to the sect to see the Supreme Elder like this, things will become even more uncontrollable.
The Supreme Elder in the small world cannot use the sect’s special artifact by simply using up their magical power or valuable resources. They are a living person.
Being a living person, they have emotions. They can feel joy and anger.
The leader of the Great Dao Sect doesn’t want to pass on this mess to the Supreme Elder right now.
"Then let’s hurry, let’s head to Peach Blossom Villa immediately."
The five major Immortal Gates working together is actually to reduce the depletion of their resources.
Otherwise, while using up the remaining resources to attack the Qiao family member, they might also be attacked by other Immortal Gates… Can they still fight like this?
They don’t really believe that the Qiao family member is a formidable enemy that requires the combined strength of the five major Immortal Gates to deal with.
Among the Great Dao Sect, Long Life Gate, Tongtian Sword Sect, Liangyi Sect, and Qingxuan Road, the Great Dao Sect in Zhong Province is the closest to Nan Province, so they naturally arrive the fastest.
The leader of the Great Dao Sect planned to wait for the teams from the five Immortal Gates to gather together before surrounding and defeating all members of the Qiao family.
But the five Immortal Gates had at least five different opinions and ways of thinking.
While some Immortal Gates did not want to confront the Qiao family directly, they were not in a hurry like the Great Dao Sect.
If the five Immortal Gates did gather, there might be disagreement on who would take the lead in the battle.
"At this moment, my Great Dao Sect will lead the way, taking the first step in the battle…"
The leader of the Great Dao Sect urged the other four Immortal Gates with a shining Message Jade Talisman, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
In this difficult situation, there were wise people in the other Immortal Gates who understood that it was not the time for internal conflicts.
While the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates were rivals, the Qiao family was the main enemy that needed to be suppressed by them now.
The team released numerous rainbow lights in the sky once again, speeding up and breaking through the air.
Great Dao Sect is skilled in refining Taoist soldiers. Even a cultivator can summon a large army using magic spells. This is one of the key reasons why the leader of the Great Dao Sect decided to take the lead.
…………………………….
Nan Province, Peach Blossom Villa.
As dusk approached, the setting sun resembled blood, and crows flew around.
The owner, Qiao Xin, as usual, was teaching martial arts in the small grove next to the villa.
The fat cat lay on his lap, being gently scratched under the chin, with its round head tilted back, eyes half-closed in a doze.
Before heading to the Western Province to settle things with Martial Saint, Qiao Mu deliberately left the fat cat behind.
This act was similar to him sacrificing a life in advance, showing his subconscious determination by burning bridges and not leaving himself a retreat.
"Martial arts in this world are not just about physical skills. To me, martial arts is a training and practice that balances the development of the body and mind…"
"Without martial arts skills, one cannot be called a martial artist; even if one has exceptional martial arts skills but lacks martial arts determination, one is nothing more than a powerful beast."
"When martial arts skills reach the 4th rank level, it is then considered the Spiritual Refining Method… All the top superb martial artists in the Jiu Province have walked this path, it is not a coincidence."
Let’s not discuss specific skills and moves, but just focus on the simple martial arts principles.
This will not greatly improve the martial artists’ skills at the mountain villa, but perhaps it can help them go further in the future.
Just at this moment.
The sky, which should have been dimming, suddenly lit up with countless rays of light.
Qiao Xin seemed to sense something and stopped talking about martial arts.
"Don’t stop, keep going," urged Wu Mingkong.
Wu Mingkong was listening attentively, and Qiao Xin’s sudden stop prompted her to urge him to continue.
Qiao Xin stopped walking and looked up at the sky, murmuring to himself:
"This body of mine is over five thousand years old, left behind to guard Nan Province before heading to Western Province to face Martial Saint in battle."
"In addition, there is another body that once killed Immortal Yu Hua, a Nascent Soul cultivator in Nan Province, leaving behind the ‘Breaking Waves and Dividing Floods Sword.’"
"These two bodies may not be as powerful as my original one… but they should suffice," whispered Qiao Mu to himself.
The death of the clone was meaningless.
If this "Qiao Xin" perished, it would only mean the destruction of a mere vessel for Qiao Mu.
Therefore, Qiao Xin would not seek death, as it would serve no purpose.
Or rather… truth be told, Qiao Mu did not want the persona of "Qiao Xin" to die.
Everyone, including Wu Mingkong, followed Qiao Xin’s gaze intently.
They saw shiny Immortal Boats sailing among the clouds, cutting through the sky.
There were also immortal cranes flying in the sky, eight flying horses pulling a magnificent golden palace in the air, radiating countless lights. For a moment, the light shone brightly, as if it were daytime.
In other places, such a scene would likely cause astonishment among ordinary people, even leading them to kneel down and worship.
But this was the Peach Blossom Villa in Nan Province.
"Bother, interrupting my spiritual refining practice." Wu Mingkong furrowed her elegant eyebrows.
"The Immortal Gate has finally arrived." Li Changshi, who had been sitting listening to Qiao Xin talk about martial arts, stood up.
Standing up with him were over three hundred elderly soldiers, their hair also white.
They had long known from Qiao Xin that the Immortal Gate was about to arrive, so they had been preparing for a great battle.
Those who were fearful and hesitant had died in the Hundred-mile Desert forty years ago.
The remaining more than three hundred people may not be the strongest among the elite soldiers, but they are all experienced and brave warriors.
"This is so cruel!" cried out the people from the Zhong Province Great Dao Sect.
Li Changshi was the first to notice this.
He had once practiced the ways of immortality and had learned the techniques of Foundation Building from a Great Dao Sect cultivator, so he was very familiar with the ways of the sect.
Upon hearing his words, the old soldiers immediately felt energized, their hands gripping their swords tightly, trembling slightly, with a fierce fighting spirit.
The Hundred-mile Desert was created by the Great Dao Sect.
The place where they had been trapped for forty years was considered by the Great Dao Sect as a sanctuary, a secret realm of the sect.
The enmity between them was as deep as the ocean.
Upon realizing that they were facing cultivators from the Great Dao Sect, the three hundred old soldiers were instantly ignited with fighting spirit!
"After many years of hard practice, it’s all for today."
"After forty years of blood and tears in the desert, and years of hard work, we are now going to use the blood of the Great Dao Sectinhuman to cleanse our blades!"
Amidst the shouts, seasoned soldiers stood in a formation, their True strength rising under their feet like clouds as they advanced step by step into the sky.
The veteran soldiers who emerged from the Hundred-mile Desert were more than three hundred spiritual refining seeds who had endured forty years of hardship.
While they may lack in qi, blood, and internal strength.
But having passed through the spiritual refining stage, stepping out of the Hundred-mile Desert, replenishing their qi and blood, their spiritual refining cultivation would advance effortlessly.
Only at this moment.
The Immortal Boat in the sky also began to move.
Cultivators chanted incantations and scattered golden spirit beans.
The spirit beans float in the sky and transform into armored bean soldiers with wings when they meet the wind.
Cultivators from the Great Dao Sect are known for their method of refining Taoist soldiers.
Among them, the "Bean Breaks Through the Sky" technique of creating soldiers from beans is the most famous.
Many cultivators are using their powers, summoning countless bean soldiers with wings, covering the sky.
"Are those Taoist soldiers? The Great Dao Sect is at it again… "
Li Changshi leads a group of experienced soldiers and rises into the sky with strong determination, laughing out loud.
"We have been dealing with your Taoist soldiers for decades… Can’t you come up with something new…"
He stopped talking abruptly, even his confident smile froze on his face.
After the armored Taoist soldiers gathered like clouds, a majestic golden armored general emerged, with sharp eyes and a scholarly air, resembling a young scholar.
Even among the thousands of Taoist soldiers, he shone brightly like a firefly in the dark night, attracting attention at first sight.
Li Changshi felt like he had been struck by lightning, his fleeting True strength disappeared, almost falling from the sky.
But then, he quickly calmed down.
True strength burst forth under his feet again, his expression on the remaining half of his face suddenly turning cold, his gaze icy, teeth clenched, almost in a fit of anger.
"Changshi, it has been twenty years since we last met, you have aged," the Golden Armor General said indifferently.
"Is this a tactic used by the Great Dao Sect cultivators to attack the mind?" Li Changshi said coldly.
"I should have thought of it earlier."
"The Hundred-mile Desert is the Great Dao Sect’s resting place for souls; the souls of fallen soldiers will not find peace and will eventually fall into the hands of the inhumans of the Great Dao Sect for their use."
"But I never expected to see you on the battlefield again one day."
"…Is that Li Changge?" Qiao Xin suddenly remembered, and asked directly.
