Chapter 261 (2)

Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmWIt had been noticed long ago… Qiao Mu felt a slight surge in his heart, but remained calm on the surface and replied:

"Not enough, can you show a few more moves?"

He now understood.

Flesh Changing Skill was originally created by Martial Saint, and improved by Wu Qizheng.

However, the Flesh Changing Skill from Wuji Association has now become quite different from the Shape Changing Skill handed to Wu Qizheng.

"Wei En…and Qiao Shuanggui, right?"

Wu Qiankun narrowed his eyes.

The several cultivators at the foundation building stage didn’t notice Qiao Mu using Eye Sword Technique at the inn’s entrance just now, but they didn’tice the illusionary sword light that seemed real and ethereal, reminiscent of what Wu Qiankun had seen in Great Qin City.

It’s not easy to kill a Qiao family member.

Wu Qiankun furrowed his brow in concern.

Since you haven’t seen enough, why not come and experience it yourself, how about it?" Wu Qiankun said lightly.

"Don’t worry, time is running out, I won’t take your life."

The Qiao family member has caught the attention of the Martial Saint. Wu Qiankun almost angered the Martial Saint with his actions last time. This time, he happened to discover the whereabouts of the Qiao family member, so it wouldn’t be right to interfere.

Even though he didn’t have murderous intentions, he was indeed quite interested in the powerful Qiao family member with a superb rank.

Last time in Great Qin City, he was just a bystander. If he could take action himself, he believed he could uncover the secrets of this powerful Qiao family member.

As for the time running out, he wasn’t wrong.

The cultivators of the Immortal Gate all left behind a Life Jade Slip in their sect.

So as long as the responsible deacon doesn’t slack off, if any cultivator dies, theoretically, other Immortal Gate cultivators should quickly arrive.

Even though he wasn’t as fast as the Qiao family member’s occasional teleportation, this place is in Anxi Town, not too far from the Great Dao Sect. The Immortal Gate cultivators are already eliminating the Wuji Association, so their actions should be swift.

If Wu Qiankun stays here, things will get worse.

It’s not only Martial Saint who hunts cultivators.

The top leaders of Wuji Association mostly practice the "Martial Saint Spiritual Technique" and then switch to the "Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill".

In the forty years of the "Martial Saint Spiritual Technique", it was like a deadly competition among three thousand disciples, resulting in seventy two wise men with unique skills.

But that’s not enough.

The Martial Saint knew that even if he devoured all seventy two wise men, he couldn’t eliminate all the inhumans in the world.

So forty years later, the "Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill" became a hunt where the Martial Saint and his seventy two wise men disciples hunted together.

Whether the cultivators are prey or hunters depends on their skills.

"The war between Wuji Association martial artists and inhumans has begun, our main enemy is the inhumans, and the Qiao family members are just fuel for them."

"Let’s see how much weight the Qiao family member has today."

Wu Qiankun took a step forward, his whole body starting to change as his muscles and blood began to expand rapidly.

…………..

Dong Province.

Among the mountains, a building stood tall amidst swirling clouds and mist.

Elder Qingzhuo sat cross-legged in the building, feeling slightly cautious.

With a damaged foundation, everything becomes unstable.

This time, following the sect leader’s orders, he went overseas to investigate the background of the Qiao family member, passing through Dong Province, where he coincidentally met an old friend.

Immortal Changqing of Long Life Gate.

Long Life Gate is also one of the Nine Immortal Gates, located in Dong Province.

However, this particular sect is a bit strange, considered an anomaly among the Nine Immortal Gates.

This Immortal Gate is named after "Long Life," and theoretically, it should be a sect dedicated to pursuing the immortal path of longevity.

However, many cultivators within this Immortal Gate, including Elder Qingzhuo’s old friend Immortal Changqing, have been known to study mortal martial arts on the side.

This so-called Long Life Gate can actually be considered the Immortal Gate among the Nine Immortal Gates that delves deepest into the study of mortal martial arts.

This reputation is not necessarily a good one.

It’s important to know that cultivators have long but limited lifespans. In the current world where spiritual energy is declining, cultivators need outside assistance to practice, and there isn’t much lifespan to waste.

Martial arts are not as powerful as immortal arts. In times when the techniques of the Qi refining period are incomplete, practicing martial arts can still be beneficial.



However, if cultivators at the Foundation Building or golden core stages get distracted and focus on other things, in the eyes of other Immortal Gates, they are simply wasting their opportunities for a long life.

Long Life Gate is one of the special gates among the Nine Immortal Gates.

"Qingzhuo, I heard that your Great Dao Sect has been dealing with the Wuji Association in the human world recently," Immortal Changqing said with a smile.

"I invited you here because I have discovered something interesting recently."

"A few months ago, the Wuji Association in the human world was actively spreading a mysterious martial arts technique."

Immortal Changqing smiled slightly and casually took out a scroll from his sleeve.

On the cover of the book were five large characters.

"Xumi Mountain King Sutra"

Taoist Qingzhuo, feeling a bit puzzled, also calmed down a bit.

Seeing Immortal Changqing’s solemn expression, he then flipped through the "Xumi Mountain King Sutra" he was holding, skimming through it briefly.

"What’s wrong with this martial art?"

Elder Qingzhuo is not well-versed in martial arts, so he doesn’t know the special characteristics of the Xumi Mountain King Sutra.

This reaction made Immortal Changqing pause for a moment and then explained:

"Friend Qingzhuo, did you know that hundreds of years ago, our Long Life Gate had another Taoist Changsheng, who created the Long Life Fist technique and passed it on to ordinary people, leading to the establishment of the Qiao Family in Nan Province’s Heyang City."

"In the path of immortality, the focus is on the soul, while in martial arts, physical strength is crucial. However, no matter how strong the body is, it will eventually weaken with age, which is hard to defy the laws of nature."

"The ‘Long Life Fist Sutra’ is our attempt to explore martial arts for ordinary people, aiming to find a way to combat the decline of qi and blood in old age. However, it has not been very successful."

Taoist Qingzhuo nodded.

"The body may perish, but the spirit can endure, that is why the path of immortality is the true path of this world, while the path of martial arts is just a side path."

"That’s right," nodded Immortal Changqing.

"The decline of spiritual energy is already a major trend." Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"In today’s era, we Nine Immortal Gates cultivators can maintain our cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage and Soul Changing Period with the help of mortal offerings."

"Fellow cultivators on the Soul Predicting Path often say that a great calamity is approaching, and we cultivators are all travelers struggling in the sea of suffering. What if the spiritual energy continues to decline?" Immortal Changqing said:

"Therefore, my Long Life Gate seeks a way to achieve longevity even if the spiritual energy dries up, to survive in the age of decline and not be limited to the paths of immortality or martial arts."

If the Great Dao Sect excels in refining Taoist soldiers, then the Long Life Gate focuses on the dual cultivation of Tao and martial arts.

However, this dual cultivation of Tao and martial arts is fundamentally different from the practice of ordinary martial artists.

The cultivators of Long Life Gate study martial arts not for combat prowess, but to endure and remain in the age of decline. It is more accurate to call them scholars of martial arts rather than martial artists.

Ordinary martial artists train to enhance their strength and combat abilities, focusing more on practical fighting skills.

Long Life Gate cultivators, on the other hand, are unconcerned about the killing power of martial arts. After all, the most powerful martial artists are insignificant in front of the Immortal Gate.

They are studying martial arts, not just combat skills, but also martial arts philosophy.

Elder Qingzhuo opened his mouth to speak, but then shook his head.

"Speak freely, Elder Qingzhuo," said Immortal Changqing.

"If you intend to discuss these matters with me, I apologize for having other important matters to attend to at my sect. I must leave now," Elder Qingzhuo explained.

"Please stay, my friend," Immortal Changqing quickly stopped him from leaving.

These cultivators from the Long Life Gate were seen as outsiders by other Immortal Gates, so whenever they had the chance, they liked to debate their beliefs.

Catching Elder Qingzhuo this time, however, was indeed for a serious matter.

Immortal Changqing explained, "This excerpt is from the Xumi Mountain King Sutra of the Wuji Association. It actually explores a different path to eternal vitality, similar to our Long Life Fist Sutra."

"It is somewhat embarrassing to admit… the mortal who created this Xumi Mountain King Sutra had quite a unique perspective, particularly in addressing the issue of declining vitality. Perhaps, in this aspect, he may even surpass Taoist Changsheng."

"So after reading this ‘Xumi Mountain King Sutra,’ I had a thought in my mind: if these two martial arts methods are practiced together, can they combine their strengths and solve the weaknesses in mortal combat skills?"

"Have you tried it?" Elder Qingzhuo frowned.

"I have tried, but it didn’t work. They are completely different," Taoist Changqing said slowly.

"But not entirely impossible."

"If in hundreds or thousands of years, generation after generation of martial artists continue to explore this path, there might still be some hope to discover a solution."



Hearing this, Elder Qingzhuo’s gaze gradually sharpened.
