On the road to refining the heart!
A cultivator walked with his head held high and his eyes clear.
He was tall, wearing a grey linen robe, and had a jade talisman hanging on his waist, which glowed with a cold, clear light and resisted the power of the Illusion Formation.
“Cheating!”
Qin Li’s eyes narrowed.
He scanned the tall cultivator with his divine thoughts, but unexpectedly found that he could not see through it.
There were only two answers to this situation, either this person’s cultivation was far higher than Qin Li’s, or he possessed a treasure to conceal his aura.
“Stop right there!”
Qin Li took a few steps forward and stopped before the man.
“Late generation Chen Jin, I wonder what senior has to teach me?”Chen Jin arched his hand, appearing unusually subdued, completely devoid of any fear of Immortal Kings.
Qin Li said indifferently, “You cheated, give me the jade talisman at your waist.”
Chen Jin’s face changed and he sophistically said, “Why would senior say such a thing, the illusion formation on the Purging Heart Road was sculpted by Fu Zi and is incredibly strong, how can I, a tiny Immortal King, cheat? Moreover, this jade pendant is my grandfather’s legacy, although it’s nothing more than a small thing, but it’s of great significance, so I can’t ……”
“Give me the jade talisman!”
Qin Li wasn’t interested in listening to the other party pressing on, directly displaying his Immortal King level pressure, like a ferocious beast awakening, using his power to suppress others.
Chen Jin’s face stiffened and he took a few steps backwards.
He gripped the jade pendant at his waist, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he even deliberately raised his voice, saying, ”Is this the style of the Xixuan Academy? I thought the academy was some kind of transcendent existence, but it turns out that it’s no different from bandits, looking at my jade pendant and wanting to snatch it.”
His voice was extremely loud, like a lion’s roar, and had the power to break through illusions.
At once!
Thousands of cultivators awoke with a start.
They heard Chen Jin’s words and couldn’t help but show surprised expressions and whisper.
“It can’t be! The Immortal King of the Academy coveted the Immortal Emperor’s treasure and took the initiative to snatch it.”
“Could this also be an illusion! The Academy of Books is transcendent, how could it be so banditish.”
“I think it’s possible, after all, treasures move people’s hearts. It seems that the Academy of Books is just that!”
“I have to hide this fourth-grade immortal sword, or else it’ll be taken away later!”
The more the group of gate breakers talked, the more outrageous they became.
Chen Jin smiled smugly and teased, “Senior, the crowd’s intention cannot be violated! If you insist on snatching my heirloom treasure, the reputation of the academy will be ruined by you!”
“Give me the jade talisman!”Qin Li always spoke a single word, only his gaze grew sharper and sharper, transmitting wisps of chilling killing intent.
Chen Jin’s face changed as he said in annoyance, “Senior is really incomprehensible, for the sake of the jade pendant, you don’t even want to lose face, it seems that the academy isn’t a good place to live in either.”
“I’m not going to participate in the break-in, Xixuan Academy old me can’t look at it. I heard that the South Xuan Immortal Region’s South Heavenly Sect also opens its Taoist doors widely, recruiting the world’s greats and heroes without geographical discrimination. I’ve also heard that after entry, a Fourth Grade Dan is given away, I’m going to join now.”
These words came out!
Thousands of cultivators cried out in shock.
“What, the Southern Heavenly Sect has also set aside regional prejudices and is recruiting cultivators from the four regions in a big way.”
“The Southern Heavenly Sect is a power on par with the Xixuan Academy, and it’s rumoured that the body refining technique is a masterpiece!”
“You can get a fourth-grade dan just for joining, that’s too rich a perk, if I can get it, I might be able to advance to Immortal Dignity!”
“Hmph! The academy is too chilling, I’ll go to the Southern Domain now and join the Southern Heavenly Sect.”
Thousands of cultivators stirred, sprouting the intention to retreat.
“Everyone follow me to the Southern Domain!”
Chen Jin roared, his face revealing a treacherous smile of scheming success.
Qin Li’s face was expressionless as he coldly said, “So you were sent here by the Southern Sky Sect to cause trouble!”
“Senior, don’t throw dirty water around. Truth be told, I’ve been longing for the Southern Heavenly Sect, and as for the Xixuan Academy, I feel nauseous just staying here. Farewell!”
Chen Jin rose up in the air and was about to leave.
“Want to escape, no way!”Qin Li raised his hand and struck out a Blazing Departure Flame.
“Water Dragon Chant!”
Chen Jin had prepared for this, and with a backhanded palm strike, it was a hundred-foot water dragon, stirring waves, spanning across the void, directly extinguishing Qin Li’s Departure Flame.
“Hahaha! Is this the strength of the Immortal King of the Academy? Can’t even kill me, an Immortal Zun Ninth Grade, to call yourself a transcendent power!”
“Solely, let me have a go at you, Immortal King First Grade.”
“Flood Eight Blades!”
Chen Jin grew more and more arrogant, directly drawing out a water blue sword, drumming up immortal power, splitting out several azure blue water blades, each of which was a hundred zhang huge, as if it was a great river, ferocious in power, actually an Immortal King grade move.
“You’ve revealed your cloven foot!”
Qin Li calmly snapped his fingers eight times in a row, sending out eight golden lights flying out, although they were not dazzling, nor did they have earth-shattering might. However, the destructive power contained within them was truly terrifying, crumbling the eight water blades.
“You Immortal King First Grade have a little bit of skill, but it’s really too weak, you don’t even have a handy weapon, how poor the academy must be! No wonder you wanted to rob my jade pendant!”
“Today, I’ll let you open your eyes to my fifth grade immortal weapon, the Turbulent Stream Sword!”
“Yin Rain Sword Technique!”
Chen Jin’s mouth was like a cannon, mocking wildly and striking at the prestige of the academy.
Moreover, his movements were not slow, taking several steps in a row, approaching within three feet of Qin Li, a fifth-grade sword flashing with light and sharpness, playing out a set of bizarre sword techniques to slice off Qin Li’s head.
Qin Li was indifferent, just standing there, letting the other party’s sword technique be ferocious.
Seeing this!
Thousands of cultivators cried out in shock:
“It’s actually a fifth-grade sword with the Heavenly Flame pattern of the Eastern Domain on it, a rare treasure!”
“Odd, why is that Book Academy Immortal King not moving at all, but resisting a bit!”
“It should be desperate, after all, the Book Academy Immortal King doesn’t even have an Immortal Soldier, it’s too shabby.”
“Hehe! The shining image of the academy in my heart has fallen to pieces, wait a minute I’d better go to the southern domain and try my luck!”
The more the crowd spoke, the more lost they became.
At this moment!
Chen Jin held up his sword and slashed.
“Brat, die for me!”
He made an all-out move to cut off Qin Li’s head.
The crowd watching the battle closed their eyes with some intolerance, seemingly foreseeing Qin Li’s death, not wanting to see the bloody scene that followed.
Clang-
A loud bell sounded.
An unexpected situation appeared.
The Turbulent Sword slashed at Qin Li’s neck as if it had cut into a piece of divine iron, and was directly shaken away.
The crowd was dumbfounded, ”Am I seeing things wrong? A fleshly body resisting an immortal weapon.”
“This is a fifth grade immortal weapon! It actually couldn’t injure him.”
“Unheard of, what kind of demon is this!”
Chen Jin’s eyes glazed over in fear: “What kind of monster are you!”
Without a word, Qin Li raised his hand and slapped it with a golden light, directly snatching the Turbulent Flow Sword, crushing Chen Jin’s palm in the process, dripping with blood.
“So painful! My hand!”
Chen Jin screamed in pain and cold sweat, he only understood the terror of the young man in front of him at this moment, even though he was an Immortal King First Grade, he was like a divine beast in the world.
“Humph! The academy is bullying the young with the big, when I have finished my cultivation, I will definitely come back to take revenge!”
Chen Jin’s mouth cannoned a sentence and hurriedly rose up in the air, flying away to escape.
“Want to run?”
Qin Li’s eyes stared.
Left red pupil, right golden pupil, steeply shooting out two rays of light, fusing into one, transforming into a three-feet Off-Fire Sword Qi, ferocious power within, weighing more than a thousand pounds, frighteningly fast.
Puh snort-
The sword Qi pierced through Chen Jin’s chest.
“How is it possible ……,” Chen Jin’s eyes snapped, and without even a chance to struggle, he fell to the ground with a face full of disbelief.
It was also peculiar to say the least, the grey linen clothes on his body had a hole poked out by the sword light, seemingly losing the ability to conceal his breath, revealing Chen Jin’s strength of Immortal King First Grade.
When the people around him saw this, there was an instant silence, followed by the sound of countless intakes of breath!
There were even those who had just abused Qin Li, saying that Qin Li had taken a fancy to the jade pendant, whose faces instantly turned red!
Qin Li didn’t bother, this person would be dealt with by other senior brothers, he just led the way.
There was a clamour below at the moment, one or two of them staring at Qin Li full of surprise!
“Heavens! That fellow is also an Immortal King.”
“So it’s really here to cause trouble, I guess it must be someone from the Southern Heavenly Sect.”
“The Academy Immortal King is so powerful, glaring an Immortal King to death with a single glance, a model for my generation!”
“And the Book Academy Immortal King’s flesh is indestructible, able to withstand a fifth-grade immortal weapon! I must join.”
The attitudes of the thousands of cultivators turned violently, instantly raising their goodwill towards the Academy of Books by several notches.
This was the law of the Immortal Cultivation World, where strength was reason. The strength displayed by Qin Li was enough to make them worship him, so how would they care about those slanderous words.
“Silence!”
“Continue the examination!”
Qin Li closed his eyes and remained still.
Soon, thousands of cultivators broke through the Path of Refined Heart, leaving behind three hundred and fifty-seven in the end.
“Those who pass, follow me, those who fall short can try again next year.”Qin Li said, and carried those who passed into the secret realm, and the spatial crack slowly closed.
The next step was to follow the process.
First, they went to the Green Tomb Mountain to pay homage to their predecessors. Seemingly attracted by Qin Li’s strength, none of the group actually withdrew.
Then it was time to go to the Great Book Depository and greet the Green Page Immortal King, allowing this group of senior siblings to select Immortal King level techniques.
Finally, they arrived at the Great Hall of True Knowledge, in which hundreds of Immortal Kings were gathered.
Qin Li arched his hand and reported, “Reporting to all the masters, all three hundred and fifty-seven Dao seekers have been brought.”
