Chapter 54 I Want to Become an Immortal
Chapter 54 I Want to Become an Immortal (Twenty-three)
At this critical moment, all those disorganized thoughts connected together in Liu Sheng's mind.
So, Liu Sheng took a deep breath, closed her eyes, gathered all the spiritual power in her body, and used the skills she had prepared long ago but hoped not to use.
"The Art of Scattering Spirits".
At this critical moment, Liu Sheng decisively chose to disperse the spiritual power she had cultivated with great effort.
Facing this existence whose strength is beyond imagination, her skills at the first level of Qi Refining Stage are nothing.
It's just an admission ticket.
The spiritual power in the body, under the operation of the "Spirit Dispersing Technique", was like a wave swept by a storm, running wildly in Liu Sheng's meridians.
Gradually, the spiritual power receded silently like the ebbing tide of the sea, and the spiritual power also dissipated from Liu Sheng's body in streams.
Reverse cultivation is not an easy task. Every time the spiritual power dissipates, the inner walls of the meridians feel as painful as if being cut by a knife.
When Liu Sheng completely dissipated her spiritual energy, she had been thrown into the abyss, and the ground beneath her was soft, rough, and wet.
With a sip and a close, he fell into complete darkness.
Liu Sheng didn't care about the fishy and sticky saliva, and used his tentacles to cling tightly to the uneven moss surface.
The little tentacle did not find this place disgusting or unbearable. Instead, it happily absorbed the strange air.
In the abyss, every breath brought a strong and strange air. The little tentacles jumped for joy, sucked it up, and then slowly wrapped around Liu Sheng's body layer by layer and expanded.
Just as Liu Sheng was about to be rolled up and sent deeper, a soft "eh" suddenly came from deep in the pipe.
Although the sound was very light, it was deafening to Liu Sheng. If she hadn't held on tightly, she would have been almost blown onto her palate.
At this time, the cave entrance opened.
A stream of air blew out from the depths.
Liu Sheng's tentacles loosened at the right time and rushed out of the abyss with the air flow.
The vast starry sky reappeared before her eyes.
Then she fell into a huge, textured, wrinkled, flesh-colored hand.
A pair of pitch-black, huge eyes stared strangely at her as she turned into a large ball of tentacles. There were countless deep whirlpools in the eyes that could not be stared at.
This pair of eyes was set on a face so huge that it blocked out the sun. Above the eyes were two long white eyebrows that stretched like mountains. There was a wisp of white goat beard on the chin. The wrinkled ravines on the face looked like canyons to Liu Sheng. The skin was rough and covered with large spots.
Although this face was magnified countless times, Liu Sheng recognized it.
Liu Sheng emerged from the layers of tentacles, a little disgusted with the spit on himself, but still bowed and said, "Master, nice to see you again."
"Or... Master Qixuan?"
The wrinkles on his face seemed to come alive at this moment, wrinkling into a ball and then stretching out, his white eyebrows trembling, and the huge mouth under the beard opened up and he laughed.
"You're funny and smart."
"I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, hahahaha!"
The giant's body began to tremble with laughter. Liu Sheng's tentacles wrapped around the giant's fingers, fearing that he would be shaken off.
This person is indeed the legendary Master Qixuan who disappeared in the strange disaster in the sky.
The hall master was just an avatar he sent down, who spoke in an elegant and long-winded manner. The real him was a person who spoke fluently, which was very different from him.
"You actually knew what I wanted, and you were able to dissipate your cultivation so decisively, and even absorbed a strange aura that I dared not consume. This is incredible, and you are also cruel enough."
As he spoke, he stopped smiling and his face became grim.
Facing the pressure from Master Qixuan, Liu Sheng remained calm and said, "I was originally very surprised that in such a dangerous and precarious place where disciples are hunted by various rules, there is such a clear path to promotion. There is also a pure land like Chongdao Temple where you can eat and live and concentrate on cultivation. It's really too contradictory." "And everything is vaguely pointing to the rumor that you can break through the strange disaster after the Qi Refining Stage. After reaching the Qi Refining Stage, you can't wait to drive people to Qingxu Hall."
"Master Qixuan, you want spiritual power, right?" Liu Sheng raised his eyes and asked calmly, "You are obviously a strange creature, but you want spiritual power?"
Yes, Liu Sheng has seen that the Master Qixuan, who was once a powerful figure in the world, has now become a strange creature. He was probably contaminated in that strange disaster and fell into ruin.
This sentence seemed like a sharp knife piercing directly into Master Qixuan's heart. He resisted the urge to clench his palms and crush Liu Sheng to death, and said solemnly: "Forget it, you don't understand."
"I want to become an immortal, and no one can stop me, not even God's will."
A mysterious aura rose from Master Qixuan as he spoke passionately, and the surrounding stars seemed to be frightened by him and became silent.
"But since it's already a strange creature, all the spiritual energy in your body has turned into strange energy. Even if you continue to practice, you won't be able to draw the energy into your body and improve your cultivation." Liu Sheng deliberately guided the question.
Master Qixuan also understood Liu Sheng’s intention, but he didn’t mind saying more. He hadn’t communicated with anyone for a long time.
"That's why I need you." Master Qixuan stroked his long beard and smiled mysteriously.
"Fortunately, I am indeed an eternal genius with outstanding talent. Although I have turned into a strange creature, I can still regain my sanity and even create this magical skill of devouring spiritual energy with a strange body. You will purify the spiritual energy and absorb it for me. Then I will slowly practice with the devouring method and refine the strange body into an immortal body."
"It's a pity that my body can only bear the spiritual power of the early stage of Qi Refining. If not, I would have become an immortal in the past tens of thousands of years."
Master Qixuan stroked his white beard and smiled complacently.
"Tens of thousands of years?" Liu Sheng asked curiously, "For tens of thousands of years, all the disciples of the Qixuan Academy have been locked up in the strange disaster by you using the Qiankun Primal Chaos Technique?"
Master Qixuan stared at Liu Sheng seriously with his huge eyes: "You are really smart."
"However, your imagination is still insufficient. Does the Qixuan Academy really exist?"
"Are you really disciples of the Qixuan Academy?"
"Look down."
Master Qixuan's words were like an ice-cold knife, piercing into Liu Sheng's already doubtful heart. A guess emerged from the cracks.
Liu Sheng stretched out the tricky eye of his tentacle and probed down through the gaps between Master Qixuan's fingers.
The scene before her was something she would never forget.
In the vast void under his palm, a huge blue planet filled Liu Sheng's vision, like a dazzling gem, quietly inlaid in the vast starry sky.
Master Qixuan's size is very huge for Liu Sheng, but in front of this planet, Master Qixuan can only be considered relatively not small.
The planet's atmosphere was dense, as if it was made up of countless fine water vapors, which intertwined into layers of hazy gauze, flowing slowly and concealing its true appearance. Through this layer of gauze, Liu Sheng could vaguely see the magnificent colors on the surface of the planet.
A vast expanse of blue covers most of the surface of the planet. That is the boundless ocean. Separated from this vast ocean is the green continent, where mountains, rivers, forests, deserts, and grasslands are intertwined. In some places, the green gradually transitions to the golden color of the desert, the whiteness of the glaciers, and the deep red of the volcanoes.
In the gaps between colors, traces of human activities can be vaguely seen. The dotted lights, scattered buildings, and intricate roads add infinite vitality.
However, on the surface of this vibrant planet, Liu Sheng could see countless black spots of varying sizes distributed on it, just like an apple covered with mold.
Liu Sheng looked at all this and felt an unprecedented shock in his heart.
Above the planet, beneath the giant palm, a small, unique piece of continental fragment floats quietly.
Rather than a continent, it is more like an isolated island. It floats alone in the void, tightly wrapped in a layer of mysterious black mist. The black color seems to be the same as the black spots on the surface of the planet.
Through the thick black fog, Liu Sheng could see the complex of buildings distributed symmetrically along the central axis. She could also vaguely make out the Qingxu Hall in the center, the library and the Chongdao Temple on the mountain, as well as the Xichunzhai where she had lived and the Qiongxiang Hall where she had worked.
Among the pavilions, towers, bamboo forests, and pine trees, many figures were running and struggling.
This is the Qixuan Academy.
Hope it won't be swallowed again...I've revised it several times, and the wording is fresh
Celebrate Shengsheng’s first time going to heaven!
