Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1074 - 158: Tactics, Control, Secret Canon

[Chapter three update, there will be a fourth later, should be eligible for votes now]

— Insult the opponent? Haha, this inexplicable heterodox might be overwhelmingly strong, but essentially still a blowhard after all!

— Doing such tasteless behavior in battle mostly just weakens one's own momentum!

The Ancient Method Practitioners thought this, continuing their charge. Meanwhile, Wang Qi on Jinshen Hall slightly smiled, took a half step back, Xiangyu Travel activated, escaping by topology rules above three dimensions.

The many Ancient Method Practitioners were baffled. Suddenly, cries mixed with screams emerged from all directions.

"My… my mana…"

"What's happening to my body… I can't control my mana…"

"The cultivation technique within me is going berserk… quick…"

"Help…"

"What on earth is happening…"

The first to fall into chaos was the Foundation Establishment Cultivators duel area on the Forbidden City Phoenix Tomb's edge, followed closely by the Core Formation Cultivators duel area. Then, screams also came from the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators duel area.

All present were high-ranking cultivators above the Divine Separation Stage, bewilderedly looking around, unsure of what was happening.

Mrs. Huansha's face turned pale.

Having personally experienced Wang Qi's terrifying Spell, he knew that such a peculiar Spell has two modes of activation.

The first is when the Taker verbally states a certain command, the Spell automatically activates.

The second is when the Taker hears a specific command, the Spell automatically activates.

In other words…

[Command confirmed]

[Mana auto-operational, commencing]

Almost simultaneously, all Divine Plague Curse Techniques pre-planted by Wang Qi activated synchronously. All cultivators who had not yet reached Divine Separation, who had not touched upon Divine Separation Sense Transformation, were completely stripped of control over their mana!

In an instant, Spirit Phoenix Island Ancient Method Immortal Sect's low level combat power was zeroed!

At this moment, Holy Emperor Venerable suddenly widened his eyes in anger and shouted, "It's you…"

"This whole year, the one attacking my Spirit Phoenix Island was you!"

Accompanied by the sorrowful cries of atmosphere being torn, Holy Emperor Venerable's figure also vanished.

Then, the storm appeared.

..................

Wu Qi looked at his surrounding companions in fear, feeling somewhat at a loss. He sensed as if some invisible evil ghost controlled his fellow sect members, forcibly making them assume a Five Hearts Facing Heaven meditation posture. Those sect members cried, yet absorbing nature's spiritual energy nonetheless swiftly, many times faster than their own cultivation.

Fan Zhongxing rushed over, pressing him and the still dazed Lu Longcheng onto the ground: "Do as they are doing!"

Lu Longcheng said anxiously: "Fan…"

"Don't say it! This clearly is an influx of evil demons. Facing an evil demon possibly contending with the Holy Emperor, do not expose your uniqueness!" Fan Zhongxing had already begun meditation cultivation: "Perhaps we are Reincarnators, different from cultivation techniques, thus spared. Do not delve deeper!"

Wu Qi immediately complied. Lu Longcheng shouted in surprise: "Look over there!"

A person was standing atop a small tower not too far away. Judging from aura sensing, he seemed to be Golden Core as well.

As if perceiving their gaze, the mysterious Core Formation Cultivator smiled at Wu Qi and his group.

Immediately, a man dressed in a Red Gold Dragon Robe appeared in front of the mysterious figure. The man grabbed the mysterious figure's neck, hoisting him up.

Accompanying this scene was terrifying violent wind. Numerous Core Formation Cultivators unable to control themselves were blown away, then fell from several yards high. Holy Emperor Venerable had already lost patience to use spells to counteract wind pressure, directly using Physical Body Essence cultivation to rush over.

And this sight also left Wu Qi and his companions with blank minds.

On Spirit Phoenix Island, there was only one cultivator capable of wearing the Emperor Robe.

Even though they've faced significant figures like the Water Ancestor, they still hold considerable respect for this formidable individual who single-handedly upholds the Righteous Law Immortal Path.

"Emperor... actually the Emperor!"

Wang Qi hovered in the air. This avatar of his entirely lacked the ability to face the Holy Emperor Venerable, utterly unable to withstand the Holy Emperor Venerable's grasp. Yet, he laughed, "It seems your spiritual sense can still reach far! If you were willing to unleash it more often, I wouldn't have been able to hide for so long."

The Holy Emperor Venerable was somewhat annoyed. As he released spiritual sense to scan, he immediately realized Wang Qi's usual method of concealing his aura was specifically targeted at the Divine Country's Techniques, blatantly visible within spiritual sense. The Holy Emperor Venerable exerted force, and blood immediately trickled from the corners of Wang Qi's mouth. Wang Qi, spitting blood, laughed, "What, a noble Holy Emperor Venerable is interested in my measly flesh?"

The cost of these flesh components was very low; Wang Qi merely used the Water Transformation Valley Opening Pill on cells he separated, and after initially exploring several times, the subsequent manufacturing could be entrusted to Jarvis; no matter how many died, Wang Qi didn't care.

The Holy Emperor Venerable spoke calmly, seemingly confident: "No matter how powerful you are, the avatars you simultaneously possess are limited. As long as I capture all those avatars, you have no show left. Once I have your avatars, I can naturally slowly calculate the location of your true form."

Wang Qi nodded: "Indeed. But... if I don't leave a single avatar for you, what will you do?"

The Holy Emperor Venerable snorted coldly. His mana had already locked down every bit of spiritual power within this avatar's flesh, making it impossible for Wang Qi to self-detonate even if he wished.

—But on that note, this flesh is indeed peculiar. The Magic Foundation, Golden Core within are... Has this world's heterodox become so distorted?

Wang Qi's mouth curled into a smile and he shouted loudly, "Old man! Come out and help!"

"More enemies?" The Holy Emperor Venerable's spiritual sense immediately scanned forward and to both sides. At that moment, five sharp and fierce sword qis, with a hint of naturally recurring deity-slaying essence, swept past and struck right at the back of the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Innate Tai Chu Five Blessings Deity-Slaying Sword Qi!

The Holy Emperor Venerable instinctively turned around, an invisible and intangible sword qi followed closely, passing through his armpit and striking right at Wang Qi avatar's forehead. In a short moment, the vitality of this avatar dimmed.

Innate Taishi Invisible Sword Qi!

The Holy Emperor Venerable threw away Wang Qi's avatar, his eye corners trembling. Simultaneously, Tao Guanhong's angry roar resonated throughout the underground city: "Qiushui! Have you betrayed too?"

This strike actually came from a place the Holy Emperor Venerable initially overlooked—his rear, where together with Qiushui Daoist, one Mahayana and eight Body Integration Realm high-order Ancient Method Practitioners resided.

And the person who executed the attack, he least anticipated.

"Qiushui?"

Qiushui Daoist looked terrified: "I don't know... I really don't know! It's not me! Emperor, spare me, spare me..."

Before he finished speaking, a golden sword qi bounced back. As for Qiushui Daoist's explanation, the Holy Emperor Venerable naturally believed him. That previous sword qi was pure, timed, and merciless; how could it be compared to Qiushui, that worthless Mahayana? Furthermore, the innate Tai Chu Five Blessings Deity-Slaying Sword Qi and innate Taishi Invisible Sword Qi aren't supreme swordsmanship Qiushui can master. However, the Holy Emperor Venerable still had no intention of holding back.

Suddenly, a bluish true light erupted from Qiushui Daoist, condensing into chaos Qingyun, resisting the casual strike from the Holy Emperor Venerable. Subsequently, more sword qies emerged from Qingyun. Radiant divine light emerged from the Holy Emperor Venerable, instantly brushing away the sword qi. Divine power rebounded, attacking Qiushui. At this moment, Qiushui Daoist exerted strength beyond theoretical limits, sharing countless mysterious spells with the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Zhen Chan is the one most familiar with Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture in this world. Through Wang Qi's "reboot," he already acquired "maximum permission" for Qiushui Daoist's mana. Additionally, he fully participated in Wang Qi's modification of Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture, naturally aware of its strengths and weaknesses. By him controlling Qiushui Daoist's mana, he could exert powerful combat strength.

Simultaneously, Wang Qi's fourth avatar appeared among that group of high-order cultivators above Divine Separation Stage. He wore a mask and spread his hands, explaining, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, this guy, because he cultivated the fake techniques I provided, ended up in this miserable state. Next, let me reveal a secret. The fake techniques I've spread aren't limited to the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture; there are many others. Including Upper Mysterious Red Tripod Three Caverns Technique, Yin Yang Chaos Ling Xiao Record, Original Dao Salvation Song. Some I sold in the black market, while the dismantling spells of Upper Mysterious Red Tripod Three Caverns Technique I spread through low-level cultivators. If any piece of it is absorbed into your technique... Hehe, sorry, but you'll fall under my control."

All high-order cultivators were caught by surprise, their expressions changed drastically. The "little spells" spread among low-level cultivators indeed held some mystery, and they privately cultivated them. But they never expected...

Tao Guanhong jumped up, a Divine Heaven Inheritance Seal descended from the sky, crushing this avatar into pulp. He spat fiercely, "Those shameless cultivators might defy the Emperor's orders and secretly practice your techniques, but I certainly haven't. I look down upon your evil techniques."

At this moment, another Wang Qi emerged from the group of collapsed Nascent Soul cultivators. He said, "Do you know why I'm bothering to talk with you?"

Tao Guanhong gestured lifting a hand: "Not interested."

Wang Qi shrugged: "Don't rush, maybe you'll find interest shortly."

With his gesture, divine power descended from the sky, landing on the outskirts of Forbidden City Phoenix Tomb. Then, an unusual aura wafted over from there.

...............

Wu Qi stared fearfully at the originally-dead evil demon avatar. On that demon's body, white flames suddenly ignited. These flames restored his vitality. Then, a massive array of talismans surged within that demon avatar. These talismans seemed to link to greater entities, borrowing potent strength.

Wu Qi trembled slightly. This cultivation technique was very familiar to him.

This is actually...

The "Xuan Jun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture"!

That mysterious evil demon could also use the Xuan Jun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture?

Moreover, the Golden Core level of Xuan Jun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture can challenge the Unification Stage Cultivator?
