Chapter 534: 491 complete four

The core disciple was a woman with her black hair tied into a high ponytail that fell down her back. In each hand, she held a black long sword, with faint electric arcs occasionally surfacing around her.

"People from the Faceless Sword Sect, after having killed someone within my Shangqing City, think they can just leave as they please..." The woman raised her right-hand sword and gently swiped through the air, leaving a trail of blue ionizing light in the air.

"If word gets out, it will definitely tarnish my reputation," Song QiTian said.

A hint of anger appeared on the woman’s fair face, her purple eyes fixated on Li Chengyi below.

"Bai Lu, you have seriously injured my junior sister; don’t you think you owe me an explanation?"

"I’ve heard of you, one of the young leaders of Qingmu Sect in recent years," Li Chengyi said with a pure smile.

"Sadly," the smile on his face slowly faded. "Being born in this era is your tragedy."

"You..." The woman paused, taken aback, but before she could speak out,

Li Chengyi’s eyes gently closed.

Then they reopened.

A bright cyan light suddenly burst forth from his pupils.

The sword finger had already formed in front of him.

"Instant Prison!"

Clang!!!

In an instant, a sky-blue sword light burst forth from his Sword Nurturing Pouch, like a pure boundary line that connected heaven and earth, slashing across the loft, through the crowd, and across the chest lit with five glowing imprints, paling Song QiTian’s terror-stricken face.

Everything fell silent.

Song QiTian stood motionless, the electric arcs on her body rapidly fading, as did the brilliance in her eyes.

In the center of her chest, a large hole had formed silently.

A huge, ghastly hole the size of a fist.

"Big sister!!!"

The two surrounding disciples rushed forward in horror to support her, frantically stuffing life-saving healing treasures into her mouth.

Li Chengyi couldn’t be bothered to recall the bamboo he had used for his sword; it was just a common piece of bamboo.

Feeling the surge of Evil Thoughts and killing intent coming his way, the needed Evil Thoughts for the Ziwei Flower increased by 20% in a moment.

He turned around and left with ease.

In fact, the words he had just spoken were not for himself, but on behalf of Huo Qingkong.

Being born in this era is the greatest tragedy for all young generations.

With a whoosh, he had disappeared from the spot.

After scouring two more gardens, Li Chengyi finally found a small flower resembling the Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum in a corner, amidst wild grass that had yet to be cleared.

The bright yellow and white petals were sparsely distributed among the weeds in this abandoned garden, which just so happened to contain the evolved Flowers that Li Chengyi needed.

The gray-white surrounding wall was dilapidated, enclosing this section of the garden.

Li Chengyi bent down one by one to inhale the Flowers from the small flowers into the Mark of the Evil Flower.

As the Wheatstalk Chrysanthemum continued to replenish the Flowers, the urgency in his heart also eased.

55%.

71%.

82%.

100%.

Finally, Li Chengyi let out a light sigh of relief and stood up.

’Next, is to absorb the Evil Thoughts.’

He took out a map from his pocket, glanced at it, then pinpointed the direction and vanished with a flash of black light.

In an instant, he disappeared from the spot.

Everything in Shangqing City flew past him rapidly, and in a moment, he had left the city, heading towards the next sect.

He didn’t want to wait here for the old folks from Qingmu Sword Sect to make their move.

Levitating the Sword of Wisdom beneath his feet, Li Chengyi sped forward at fourteen times the speed of sound, skimming close to the ground.

He soared past forests, over mountain ranges, and across grand rivers and lakes.

After adjusting his direction multiple times, soon, two days later, a massive black architectural complex atop a snowy mountain appeared before him.

The towering green mountain range was visible, with a peak capped with snow standing out clearly.

Suiyue Peak, I’ve arrived.

"Is this Suyue Sect?" Li Chengyi surveyed the surrounding terrain, found the main path, and then approached officially.

This place was different from Qingmu Sword Sect. Qingmu Sword Sect had bad relations with the other three sects, so he could act freely.

But here at Suyue Sect, which had a good relationship with the Faceless Sword Sect, proper protocols were still necessary.

He walked for over ten miles along The Great Path, and gradually, trade carriages started to appear on the mountain road, and he could see some humanoid Spiritual Beasts with partial beast features passing by.

Members from the Faceless Sword Sect seemed quite popular here; all the Spiritual Beasts who saw Li Chengyi greeted him amicably with a wave of their hand.

"Bai Lu!" Suddenly, a familiar voice drifted from far ahead.

Li Chengyi looked up and saw Bai He and Zhao Yuan, together with a group of other disciples from the Faceless Sword Sect, gathered together, talking to a tall man with a fox-like face.

It was Bai He who had called out to him.

Approaching them, Li Chengyi gave a smile to the aloof Zhao Yuan and turned his gaze to the man from Suyue Sect.

The man wore a green single-shoulder long robe, revealing his smooth left shoulder.

"Another disciple from the Faceless Sword Sect has arrived. Just so, the rule is the same: to obtain the trial seal and pass, you must defeat any one of the same generation disciples from Suyue Sect in direct combat," he declared.

"That simple?" Li Chengyi expressed his surprise.

"No... Not that simple, because right now, we only have access to that one disciple from Suyue Sect..." Bai He said with a wry smile, pointing nearby.

He pointed towards a bamboo forest where a young man stood.

It was a teenager, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Clad in the same green long robe, adorned with various gemstone necklaces, pendants, and bracelets.

Colored gemstones sparkled in the sunlight, making his pale and handsome face appear incredibly gorgeous.

"Giant White Deer Clan, the natural nurturer, Yuan Qi."

The Giant White Deer Clan? Wasn’t that the clan he was pretending to be from?

Li Chengyi was slightly surprised, and glanced at the other members of the Faceless Sword Sect around him. They clearly had arrived here earlier and had already fought a battle, as they were more or less wounded.

Clearly, they had not passed the test.

"Now...it’s my turn...." Zhao Yuan clenched the Sword Nurturing Pouch tightly, stepping forward with a defiant expression.

But before she could finish speaking, a shadow had already brushed past her.

"So I just need to defeat you, right?" Li Chengyi eyed the white deer antlers similar to his own and walked up to the youth in green.

"Yes, please rest assured, I will be careful to control my power so that you won’t be injured too severely," Yuan Qi said, revealing a pure smile, his gaze pausing for a moment on Li Chengyi’s antlers.

"It’s okay, you can use your full strength," Li Chengyi smiled as well, "Because the fight might be very short."

The two faced each other, standing still thirty meters apart.

Hum.

Layers of green energy fields had already been set up around Yuan Qi, now beginning to surface and shimmer with mysterious and arcane floral patterns.

Behind him, the grass and shrubs grew wildly, swiftly turning the elongating greenery into a five-meter-tall giant green figure.

Li Chengyi’s hand lightly gripped the hilt of the Dingyuan Sword at his waist. Closing his eyes, this time he didn’t immediately draw the sword but instead started to quickly adjust his state according to the original second layer of the Seven Spirit Holy Technique.

Indeed, over the past two years, he hadn’t wasted his time but practiced the original Seven Spirit Holy Technique from the first to the second layer without regard to anything else. After all, he had assistance from Kui Ling; he wasn’t short on techniques.

In comparing the two, after finding the improvements made by the Evil Flower, with his vast martial arts knowledge and deep understanding of imprints, he attempted to mimic the improvements in the subsequent techniques by himself.

Because he already had two Holy Infants, so there were completely no bottlenecks in the first two layers, and all side effects had vanished.

However, starting from the third layer was different, as one needed to decide on a Holy Infant to share the side effects from the beginning.

At this moment, Li Chengyi was internally contrasting the Evil Flower’s version and the original version of the Holy Spirit Technique.

The Evil Flower version required the Holy Infant to be fully trained before one could cultivate the next layer.

The original didn’t require that. As long as one found a Holy Infant and ensured its temporary survival, one could cultivate the next layer. However, with each new layer, one would have to transfer the side effects once again.

While pondering how to cultivate the subsequent Holy Spirit Technique, a series of white lights suddenly chased after him from the foot of the mountain behind him.

A massive wave of malice, like a tidal surge, violently rushed towards Li Chengyi’s back.

Murderous intent +3.

Murderous intent +4.

Murderous intent +3!

...

A dense swarm of Evil Thoughts swept over, interrupting the confrontation between Li Chengyi and Yuan Qi.

’Faceless White Deer! Return my disciple’s life!’

A white shadow, wrapped in an immense distorted transparent force, soared through the sky, pouncing at Li Chengyi.

It was an emaciated old man wearing a Qingmu Sword Sect Taoist robe.

Two golden leaves were clearly embroidered on his collar, representing the status of an elder.

The eight Origin Seals glowing on his chest also caused Li Chengyi’s eyes to narrow slightly.

The opponent, like him, was also an Eight Seal powerhouse.

Vast Evil Thoughts poured rapidly into the Evil Flower.

Soon, the Evil Thoughts belonging to the Ziwei Flower were completely replenished. The second evolution of the Ziwei Flower began rapidly, its purple-red fluorescence lighting up.

In an instant.

The Ziwei Flower had finished its evolution.

New information flooded into Li Chengyi’s mind.

’Ziwei Flower: Three evolution progress: 0, Evil Thoughts: 0. Number of possible evolutions: 4.’

’Flower Language: Power of Persuasion (An enhancement of the previous Power of Language, maintaining the original effects while adding that when speaking truths, the other party cannot refute, with a small probability of causing permanent attitude changes, where the probability is determined by the difference in consciousness power between both parties)’

’Flower Language: Good Fortune +2 (Every three days, one period of good fortune resets; the effects of good fortune can be accumulated actively, waiting for the right moment to use)’

"...Can be stacked!?"

Li Chengyi’s eyes widened. In that instant, after receiving the information, the former Power of Persuasion was fine, as it only caused a small chance of permanent change, but the latter’s accumulative element for Good Fortune Flower Language was a bit too exaggerated.

’Now you may use Floral Luck Flower Language to avoid conflict. Do you wish to use it?’ Suddenly the Evil Flower sent back a feedback.

’Use it!’ Li Chengyi confirmed immediately, wanting to test its effect. If there was no other way, he might have had to expose his true strength. Although he wasn’t afraid that exposure would lead to undesirable consequences, it’s always better to remain hidden if possible, because it would be hard to explain otherwise.

Unfortunately, he didn’t anticipate the opponent catching up so quickly.

At this moment, from the completion of the Flower Language evolution, emergence, to his decision, everything was finished in an instant.

Members of the Qingmu Sword Sect were still charging forth while roaring in anger.

Suddenly, from the distant peak of the Suyue Sect, a cold snort was heard.

Hum!!

A massive wall of green light rose from the ground in front of the members of the Qingmu Sword Sect, acting as a barrier, blocking them.

Then with a flash of green light, the group vanished in place, completely disappearing...

Li Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the Flower Language description.

’Flower Language: Good Fortune +2 (The members of the Qingmu Sword Sect unwittingly interfered with the Suyue Sect leader’s cultivation at a critical moment of a fleeting special inspiration. In a fit of rage, the Suyue leader tried to teleport everyone into the Demon Beast-infested Black Cloud Abyss as punishment. However... in his fury, he made a mistake... his tremendous force ended up crushing everyone on the spot.)’

’This...’ Li Chengyi was speechless. Wasn’t this luck a bit too exaggerated?!

Floral Luck was now in a gray state, clearly indicating it couldn’t be used again for another three days.

But what pleased him even more was that he could now choose the eleventh open spot at the Divine Flower Post.

And to deal with the current situation, he had already decided on the eleventh principal flower to select.
