In this world, when it ca to overall talent, Lu Xueqi was undoubtedly the most outstanding existence.
Even Tian Ling’er and Lin Jingyu, who were hailed as geniuses of Qingyun, paled in comparison to her.
What’s more, Lu Xueqi was a stunning beauty.
To Qi Hao, under the restriction of being able to bind with only one person in the Jade Purity Realm, Lu Xueqi was naturally the obvious choice.
Thus, after understanding the system’s function, he imdiately ended his seclusion and hurried toward Xiaozhu Peak.
He planned to first pay respects to Master Shuiyue and use the opportunity to et Lu Xueqi.
In Qi Hao’s view, given his status as a genius disciple of Longshou Peak, and as the runner-up in the previous Seven Peaks Tournant, this visit should have gone smoothly.
Yet reality hit him like a slap in the face.
Though the female disciples of Xiaozhu Peak seed quite interested in him and were rather courteous, they showed no intention of letting him through.
After one of them went to report, Master Shuiyue directly shut her doors to all visitors.
Qi Hao had no idea that Master Shuiyue had always been at odds with Cang Song.
As Cang Song’s top disciple, he naturally held little weight in Master Shuiyue’s eyes.
This sudden cold shoulder left Qi Hao both shocked and angry.
But thinking of his plan, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and seek another way.
In truth, Qi Hao’s main objective in this visit was not to et Master Shuiyue but to see Lu Xueqi.
In his eyes, as long as he could make physical contact with Lu Xueqi, he could activate the Infinite Binding System and complete the binding.
At that point, not only would her strength improve, but he could also reap the benefits and grow stronger with ease.
In his previous life, Qi Hao had been an otaku. Though his family wasn’t wealthy, they were decently well-off, and he had never experienced much hardship.
Now that he had transmigrated here, he couldn’t bear the loneliness of cultivating alone and quickly gave up on training independently.
Upon learning that Master Shuiyue refused to see any guests, Qi Hao swiftly shifted his strategy.
He tried to pry information about Lu Xueqi from the disciples guarding Xiaozhu Peak, hoping to seize a chance to sneak into the back mountain.
If he could persuade them to lead the way, it would save him half the effort.
Unfortunately, the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak were well aware of Lu Xueqi’s status in Master Shuiyue’s eyes and avoided answering his requests.
But as ti went on, Qi Hao gradually won the favor of so female disciples with his refined speech, handso appearance, and Upper Purity Eighth Level cultivation.
Through deliberate flattery, these disciples finally relented and revealed the critical piece of information: Lu Xueqi was currently in seclusion, cultivating in the back mountain.
Upon receiving this intel, Qi Hao was secretly delighted.
Feigning farewell to the disciples, he quietly made his way to the back mountain.
With his powerful cultivation and skillful stealth, he successfully evaded the patrolling disciples and silently infiltrated the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak, slowly approaching the place where Lu Xueqi was secluded.
After fully converting her cultivation to the 《Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture》,
Lu Xueqi was pleasantly surprised to discover that the cultivation speed of the 《Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture》 far surpassed that of the 《Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao》.
At this rate, she would be able to break through to the Upper Purity Realm in less than a month.
If she could maintain this montum, by the ti of the Seven Peaks Tournant, she might even break through several realms in succession and stand out prominently among this generation of disciples.
Just as she was imrsed in cultivation, her vast spiritual power suddenly sensed sothing.
Lu Xueqi’s eyes snapped open, and she turned to gaze toward the back mountain.
She saw a handso figure stepping on an icy immortal sword, swiftly flying toward the rear of the mountain.
At the sa ti, a strand-like spiritual force spread out in all directions, clearly searching for sothing.
When Lu Xueqi saw who it was and the sword beneath his feet, her expression instantly turned cold.
She imdiately guessed that the person could only be Qi Hao.
A surge of anger flared—she had never imagined that Qi Hao would be so brazen as to trespass into the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak.
One had to know that Xiaozhu Peak housed only female disciples, and the sect rules were strict. Without Master Shuiyue’s permission, outsiders were strictly forbidden from entering.
Fixing her gaze on Qi Hao’s figure, murderous intent surged in Lu Xueqi’s eyes.
To her, this was instead a golden opportunity.
Outside of Xiaozhu Peak, killing Qi Hao would never be easy.
After all, he was the top disciple of Longshou Peak. Without any fault on his part, attacking him rashly would be a violation of Qingyun Sect rules. No matter how talented she was, she would face severe punishnt.
But now that Qi Hao had trespassed into a forbidden area, she had a legitimate reason. With her strength vastly increased, she decided to finish it in one stroke—to kill him on the spot.
Lu Xueqi suddenly rose to her feet and shouted sternly.
“Brazen thief! How dare you trespass into the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak—are you seeking death!”
Before her words even faded, her right hand moved slightly, and the Tianyao Divine Sword beside her erupted in a burst of blue light.
Accompanied by a sharp sword cry, the blade shot from its sheath, transforming into a blue streak of light that blasted straight toward Qi Hao.
Qi Hao’s expression changed drastically as he heard Lu Xueqi’s furious shout.
He had never expected to be discovered before he even found her.
But upon seeing that streak of blue sword light, his heart suddenly surged with joy—he knew that Lu Xueqi wielded the Tianyao Divine Sword, and when activated, it gave off precisely that pale blue glow.
He hurriedly cried out.
“Junior Sister Lu, please wait! I am Qi Hao, top disciple of Longshou Peak! I entered the back mountain of Xiaozhu Peak by mistake—please forgive !”
However, as his words fell, the Tianyao Divine SwordTianyao’s assault did not falter in the slightest. In an instant, it was upon him.
His face turned deathly pale, the chilling sword intent seeping straight into his bones.
But as a cultivator at the Eighth Level of the Jade Purity Realm, he reacted quickly. With a wave of his right hand, the TianyaoIce Immortal SwordTianyao emitted a dazzling white light.
In an instant, several ice walls filled with bone-chilling cold solidified in front of him. The surrounding moisture froze at once, frost flowers fluttered through the air—it was as if the world had turned to ice and snow.
But just as the ice walls ford, the TianyaoTianyao Divine SwordTianyao crashed into them with a deafening “boom.”
The walls shattered instantly. The divine sword, its montum undiminished, continued cleaving toward Qi Hao.
His eyes widened in horror.
“How can this be? Isn’t Lu Xueqi’s cultivation supposed to be inferior to mine? Why did my ice walls shatter so easily?”
