Ye Langtian had no idea that Xu Qing had been hiding his Cultivation from the very beginning, having already reached the Immortal realm. Moreover, Xu Qing had been targeting him from the start.
So.
Ye Langtian thought he had slipped away without anyone noticing. This was because he cultivated a special Martial Arts technique, sowhat similar to the Turtle Breath Technique, called the Hidden Breathing Technique.
After successfully cultivating this Martial Arts technique, he could conceal his aura, essentially lowering his presence and making it easy for others to overlook him. It was almost perfect for sneaking away in a chaotic situation.
Unfortunately.
Xu Qing had been watching him the entire ti.
"Found you."
SWISH!
As Ye Langtian was sneaking away, Xu Qing had already used the Evil Ghost Mask to summon the Witch Evil Ghost, having it secretly tail Ye Langtian from behind.
"Heh heh..."
Xu Qing stood on a rooftop, watching the disguised Ye Langtian disappear into the crowd on the street. Ye Langtian thought he had acted without anyone noticing, completely unaware that Xu Qing was following him.
Moreover.
Xu Qing’s Turtle Breath Technique was countless tis more profound than Ye Langtian’s Hidden Breathing Technique, so it was impossible for Ye Langtian to detect Xu Qing’s pursuit.
Furthermore.
The Witch Evil Ghost kept its distance while tracking Ye Langtian. During the day, an Evil Ghost’s aura was also heavily suppressed, so Ye Langtian failed to notice its pursuit either.
SWISH!
With a thought.
Xu Qing recalled the Witch Evil Ghost. It transford into a streak of light and returned to the Evil Ghost Mask. Xu Qing then took over the pursuit himself.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
The Evil Ghost Mask’s power activated. In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing had transford into an old man—the very image of the Life-taking Elder who had stord the Jiang Mansion alone.
In the blink of an eye.
「Half an hour later.」
Ye Langtian left the city. Xu Qing discovered that so constables in Qingbei Town’s Governnt Office had actually pledged allegiance to the Blood Demon Sect. It was with the help of two constables from this Governntal Agency that Ye Langtian had so easily left the city without any obstruction.
Of course.
Ye Langtian was also in disguise.
’The Blood Demon Sect is truly pervasive.’
Xu Qing thought.
By this point, they were several miles outside of Qingbei Town.
After they had gone more than ten miles.
’This should be far enough.’
A glint appeared in Xu Qing’s eyes.
SWISH!
Dapeng Escape Technique.
Xu Qing took a step forward. He had followed Ye Langtian all the way out of Qingbei Town, traveling for several miles. Just as they were passing a mountain path on a small hill.
Xu Qing decided to make his move.
It was fast.
Incredibly fast.
Xu Qing executed the Dapeng Escape Technique. Ye Langtian had no ti to react. All he saw was a blur, and then a distinguished-looking old man was standing before him.
"!!!"
Ye Langtian’s pupils contracted.
"Senior."
Ye Langtian stopped. He was stunned and even a little panicked. His journey had been perfectly smooth until now. Why had soone suddenly intercepted him?
Moreover.
This distinguished-looking old man before him was definitely an expert of unfathomable power.
Therefore.
Ye Langtian imdiately lowered his head, his tone one of utmost respect.
"May I ask why you have suddenly blocked my path, Senior?"
Ye Langtian asked.
"Ye Langtian."
Xu Qing’s tone was calm as he stood with his hands behind his back. "I have co here today to grant you a world-changing Creation. Whether or not you can grasp it will depend on your decision."
"What?"
Ye Langtian was taken aback.
"This elixir is called the God-Seeing Pill."
Xu Qing took the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill from his robes, a faint smile on his face. "If you consu this elixir," he said calmly, "you can instantly bypass the Outer Gang, Inner Gang, and Innate Gang Qi stages, directly stepping into the Peak of Invulnerability and reaching the limit of the Martial Arts First Realm."
"God-Seeing Pill?"
Ye Langtian was dumbfounded. He lowered his head and said, "Senior, I have never heard of a God-Seeing Pill. I know my own aptitude is poor. It would be a waste of such a Treasure dicine."
"You don’t want it?"
Xu Qing shook his head. "Whether you want to take this ’God-Seeing Pill’ or not, you will. You no longer have a choice. Do you understand?"
BOOM!
The mont his words fell.
Xu Qing raised his hand and suppressed him without hesitation. A formidable power erupted, mobilizing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy and forming a giant hand that pinned Ye Langtian to the ground.
"Ah!"
Ye Langtian scread as he was slamd to the ground. Faced with such overwhelming power, any and all of his tricks were useless.
"What... what are you trying to do?"
Ye Langtian roared.
"Ye Langtian, isn’t this how you gave the ’Celestial Bridge Pill’ to Huo Yi back then?"
Xu Qing shrugged. "The only difference is that while Huo Yi wasn’t oppressed by your power, he was pressured by all sorts of external circumstances."
"Huo Yi wanted to protect the Cangying Martial Arts Hall but lacked the strength. Your appearance gave him a sliver of hope. Coupled with his own greed, he ultimately t such a fate."
"And now,"
"I am using my absolute power to suppress you and force you to consu the ’God-Seeing Pill’ in my hand. I am rely giving you a taste of your own dicine."
"Who... Who are you?"
Ye Langtian’s expression was one of terror.
After all,
up until now, his plans had proceeded without a single mistake. Even Jin Hong’s reluctant compromise and Huo Yi’s desperate gamble had surprised him, but neither had affected his overall plan or objective.
But.
He had clearly left Qingbei Town, but at the last mont, this mysterious old man had appeared. His power was so imnse that Ye Langtian found he couldn’t resist at all. In the face of absolute power, all of his so-called sches were utterly useless.
"Eat it."
Xu Qing walked toward Ye Langtian.
In truth.
Xu Qing’s decision to have Ye Langtian consu the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill was a calculated one. Ye Langtian had already joined the Blood Demon Sect. Judging by his ability to plot against the Cangying Martial Arts Hall, and the fact that he even had help from other Blood Demon Sect mbers, it was clear that he was held in so regard within the sect.
Therefore.
Xu Qing decided to make Ye Langtian consu the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill. This way, he could control Ye Langtian, have him gradually infiltrate the inner ranks of the Blood Demon Sect, and learn about their operations through him.
To be cautious,
Xu Qing did not reveal his true face and continued to use the Evil Ghost Mask’s disguise. The Blood Demon Sect was a behemoth, and the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill was not entirely foolproof. It was possible the Blood Demon Sect had counterasures for situations where their mbers were controlled by outsiders.
"No!!!"
Ye Langtian was, of course, completely unwilling.
Unfortunately.
He had no right to choose.
GULP!
Xu Qing forcibly made Ye Langtian swallow the Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill. The mont the elixir went down, a change imdiately occurred.
"AHHH!!!"
Ye Langtian’s eyes flew open and his mouth gaped, letting out a massive roar. A white radiance erupted from his seven orifices—his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears—forming pillars of white light.
BANG!
Moreover.
A terrifying energy burst forth from within Ye Langtian, shattering the energy hand Xu Qing had used to suppress him. Ye Langtian was free.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
However.
Ye Langtian imdiately sat cross-legged and circulated his Cultivation Technique. In a very short ti, he opened his Ren and Du ridians and constructed the Bridge of Heaven and Earth.
Half an hour later.
Ye Langtian reached the Initial Entry stage of the Outer Gang Realm.
Of course.
This was only the beginning.
In the blink of an eye.
Another hour passed.
Ye Langtian reached the Initial Entry stage of the Inner Gang Realm.
After that.
Another hour passed.
Ye Langtian reached the Initial Entry stage of the Innate Gang Qi Realm.
Ti passed.
Another hour went by.
Ye Langtian’s Martial Cultivation progressed like a hot knife through butter. He broke through one realm after another until his Innate Gang Qi reached Perfection, its absolute Extre, and he broke into the ’Immortal’ realm.
At this mont.
Ye Langtian began to gain control over his entire body.
"Good, good, good."
Xu Qing stood nearby, having witnessed Ye Langtian’s transformation firsthand. Just by consuming a single elixir, he had stepped into the ’Initial Entry of the Immortal’ realm in a matter of hours.
One could only say.
It was truly shocking.
One could only say.
The power of the Encyclopedia of All Things was truly heaven-defying.
The upgraded Level 10 Celestial Bridge Pill nearly broke the conventional laws of this world.
Ti passed.
「By dusk.」
BOOM!
The might of the Peak of Invulnerability erupted completely from Ye Langtian’s body. It was imnsely powerful. Terrifying Gang Qi spread out, and the surrounding Heaven and Earth Energy surged.
Powerful.
Extrely powerful.
BUZZ! BUZZ!
Finally.
Ye Langtian slowly gained control of this power and gradually reined in his aura. Only then did he open his eyes, a sharp light glinting within them.
"Ye Langtian, how do you feel?"
Xu Qing asked calmly, looking at the now open-eyed Ye Langtian.
"This servant, Ye Langtian, thanks Master for his gracious gift."
Without the slightest hesitation,
Ye Langtian dropped to his knees. He kowtowed to Xu Qing, his tone one of utmost reverence. He had beco Xu Qing’s loyal servant, one who would not hesitate for a mont even if ordered to die.
"Mm."
Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. "Ye Langtian, have you cultivated a Flawless Root thod?"
"Reporting to Master, this subordinate has not cultivated a Flawless Root thod. After joining the Blood Demon Sect, due to my outstanding aptitude, I was only able to cultivate a Low Grade Root Skill, the ’Blood Demon Root Technique’."
Ye Langtian continued, "Within the Blood Demon Sect, not all disciples and mbers practice Demon Techniques. Most still cultivate Martial Arts, it’s just that the Blood Demon Sect’s Martial Arts have a demonic and evil nature."
"Then how did you break through after consuming the God-Seeing Pill?"
Xu Qing asked.
"Master."
Ye Langtian replied, "From start to finish, this subordinate did not need to interfere at all. After I consud the God-Seeing Pill, it was as if it had its own consciousness. The elixir transford into a special energy, absorbed Heaven and Earth Energy, opened my Ren and Du ridians, constructed the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, refined my body, Refined my Inner Gang, communed with heaven and earth to form Innate Gang Qi, and strengthened this subordinate’s spirit, allowing to control every minute acupoint in my body."
"It didn’t require a Fundantal Skill at all."
"I see."
Xu Qing nodded slightly.
