Crossing Arhat's fingers like a sword, he pointed at the two Magic Sealing Nails on Xu Qi 'an's back.
Golden lightning shot out from his fingertips and connected to one of the nails in the Governing Vessel.
Xu Qi 'an felt pain in his back, as if he had been stabbed by a sword.
And the pain was just beginning.
The muscles on Crossing Arhat's skinny right arm suddenly swelled, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. As he pulled, the Magic Sealing Nail protruded little by little.
This caused Xu Qi 'an's wound to crack, causing the remaining seven Magic Sealing Nails to resonate with each other and resist together.
"Ugh …"
Xu Qi 'an let out a muffled groan. His eyes darkened, and his sweat glands secreted crazily. His face looked hideous from the pain …
His reaction was much better than last time. It wasn't that the pain had lessened, but that his tolerance for pain had increased after his primordial spirit had recovered.
But Crossing Arhat's exhaustion was no less than Shen Shu's broken arm.
His skinny body had swelled to the size of a King Kong, and rays of golden light wandered on the surface of his body. The golden lightning at his fingertips was dazzling, like electric sparks at the highest power.
In addition, the halo at the back of his head was no longer soft, but it was shining brightly.
Dazzling!
At this moment, if someone happened to look in the direction of the Stargazing Tower, they would see a ball of light on the roof like the sun.
This process lasted for five minutes. Finally, with two crisp sounds, the two Magic Sealing Nails fell to the ground.
As the Magic Sealing Nails fell to the ground, Crossing Arhat's breath weakened rapidly, and his body shrank, returning to his skinny appearance. He closed his tired eyes and silently put his palms together.
After the Magic Sealing Nail was removed, the Qi in his dantian was like a soda that had been wildly shaken in a Coke bottle.
Wrapped in an arrogant posture, it instantly connected the Governing Vessel and gushed out.
"Roar …"
Xu Qi 'an flew up, looking up at the sky, and a Buddhist Lion Roar burst out from his throat.
Qi gushed out from his throat, eyes, and Baihui acupoint, and rushed to the sky. Above the Stargazing Tower, the layers of white clouds instantly collapsed.
The entire Celestial Commissioner's building shook slightly, as if there was an earthquake.
The Third Grade Warrior's power was terrifying.
In the capital city, many people looked over. The warriors of the government, the warriors of Jianghu, the guests of noble families, and the masters of the Human Sect all noticed what was happening in the Stargazing Tower.
In God An Hall, Yongxing Emperor, who had just finished his dinner, heard a thunderous lion roar explode from afar. When the sound reached the imperial palace, it was slightly distorted.
"What?"
Yongxing Emperor rushed out of the Directorate of Astronomy under the escort of the eunuchs in the hall.
Under the eaves, he gazed in the direction of the Imperial Astronomer and saw that the setting sun was as red as blood. There was not a single white cloud in the sky above the Stargazing Tower, but the surrounding clouds were condensed in the form of ripples.
It was as if some kind of power had forcefully dispersed them from the center and piled them up in all directions.
"Perhaps he had an epiphany while supervising his cultivation."
If this kind of strange phenomenon happened in other places, they must be vigilant and investigate it. But it happened in the Celestial Commissioner's building, they just needed to watch the fun.
Anyway, it was impossible for anyone to make trouble in the Celestial Commissioner's building.
The Yongxing Emperor relaxed a little. He nodded slightly and was about to go back to the hall to rest. Suddenly, he frowned and ordered the eunuch beside him.
"Go and call the commander of the Imperial Guards on duty."
As one of the few "tenacious" princes among the Yuanjing Emperor's children who had survived the Spirit Refining Realm, he was now in the Qi Refining Realm.
His cultivation was limited by his talent and his diligence in government affairs, which wasted his cultivation.
But as a martial artist, he could still distinguish the Qi dynamic of his own system.
Qi dynamic was the unique energy of a Warrior. Although other systems could also forcibly cultivate Qi when they reached the high level, it was more of an auxiliary means.
After a while, the commander of the Imperial Guards hurried in with the guards.
The Yongxing Emperor stood under the eaves and looked down at the commander of the Imperial Guards under the stairs.
"The movement of the Celestial Commissioner just now, was it the fluctuation of Qi dynamic?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards cupped his fists and said,
"It was the fluctuation of Qi dynamic."
The Yongxing Emperor nodded and asked thoughtfully,
"The movement was not small. It must be of a high level."
The commander of the Imperial Guards frowned slightly and did not answer.
The Yongxing Emperor stared at him and took a step forward. He asked in a deep voice, "I am asking you a question."
"Your Majesty, I can't estimate it. The fluctuation of Qi dynamic just now was huge and vast. It is not something a Fourth Level martial artist can reach. "
As the commander of the Imperial Guards who was a Fourth Level martial artist, he had considerable confidence and authority to make a judgment.
Not something a Fourth Level martial artist can reach … The Yongxing Emperor's eyes seemed to flash a certain sharp light. He hid it well and ordered,
"Go to the Celestial Commissioner immediately to inquire about the situation."
"Yes!"
After sending away the commander of the Imperial Guards, the Yongxing Emperor quickly turned his head and did not hide his inner urgency and excitement. He urged,
"Quickly go to Shaoyin Palace and invite His Highness Lin An to see me."
The eunuch was stunned for a moment and reminded, "Does Your Majesty want to move to the Imperial Study?"
It was already past dinner time. According to the rules of the Palace, the Princess should not come to the Emperor's bedroom.
The Yongxing Emperor nodded and said, "Let her come to the Imperial Study quickly."
…
De Xin Yuan.
On the dark roof, Huaiqing in a plain white dress stood on the corner of the eaves and looked at the stargazing tower.
"He actually came back?"
Huai Qing muttered to himself in a low voice. An imperceptible joy flashed across his clear eyes.
She immediately floated down from the roof and summoned the head guard of De Xin Yuan. She ordered,
"Go to the Department of Rites and inform that I want to leave the Palace."
…
It sounded like that Xu Yinluo was not in the capital recently … Li Lingsu listened but did not pay much attention to it. He listened to his junior sister and the warlock in white chatting.
"I did not do anything. I just walked around and looked around. It was quite boring." Li Miaozhen said.
"Yes, that's right!" Chu Yuanzhen echoed.
Why bother? Why bother!
If you knew that he caused havoc in the temple in Leizhou and snatched the Buddha's Pagoda in front of Jin Gang; If you knew that he suppressed a group of fourth grade experts in Yongzhou and plotted with the Imperial Tutor to capture Luohan … Would your days be over?
Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen felt that for the sake of Yang Qianhuan's physical and mental health, it was best to keep it a secret.
"Oh yes, why do the brothers of the Celestial Commissioner carry pen and paper with them?"
Li Miaozhen changed the topic.
She was also curious about this phenomenon. It was not like this in the past.
Yang Qianhuan snorted, "Because that mute Sun Xuanji is back."
Sun Xuanji?
Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Hengy Yuan had only heard of Sun Xuanji and knew that he was the second disciple of the Supervisor.
However, they did not understand what bringing pen and paper had to do with this second disciple.
On the contrary, Li Lingsu came to a sudden realization and easily understood what Yang Qianhuan meant.
"I see. Then we should indeed bring pen and paper. Yes, I have to prepare one too."
Li Miaozhen and the other two looked at the Saint with questioning eyes. They had not seen Sun Xuanji before, but it seemed that Li Lingsu was familiar with this second disciple of the Supervisor.
Li Lingsu was a little embarrassed.
"It is not a gentleman to talk about others behind their backs. Yes … Senior Brother Sun does not like to talk. He has a slight speech impediment. "
Li Miaozhen came to a realization. "Senior Brother Sun has a serious speech impediment. He is even a mute."
Chu Yuanzhen added, "Talking to Senior Brother Sun is a painful thing."
Hengy Yuan said, "Amitabha!"
Li Lingsu's expression did not change. He looked at the three of them in shock and confusion. "How did you know?!"
Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Master Hengy Yuan looked at each other. They all felt that it was as expected and as expected of the Celestial Commissioner.
Then, Chu Yuanzhen and Master Hengy Yuan exchanged looks.
Li Miaozhen was the pot calling the kettle black!
This was a clear and direct chain of contempt.
Suddenly, everyone felt the ground under their feet tremble slightly, and dust fell from the top of their heads.
A terrifying and powerful aura penetrated the building and descended on everyone. It was as if an ancient demon had awakened from its slumber.
The Transcendent Realm?!
Except for Miao Youfang, everyone present had a strong background and rich experience. They were very familiar with the aura of the Transcendent Realm.
No matter which system it was, after entering the Third Stage, one's life level would be transformed. He would no longer be a mortal, and a corresponding pressure would be born.
When a mortal faced a Transcendent Realm master, he would feel the pressure from a higher life form.
With a shake of his body, the mortal would bow his head.
"Xu Qi 'an's seal has been further unlocked …" Chu Yuanzhen and the other two were delighted.
"Is it Senior Xu? Senior Xu has recovered his cultivation?"
Li Lingsu was shocked, and then he also showed a happy expression. Suddenly, he heard the warlock in white roar in the stone room.
"Xu Qi 'an has recovered his cultivation? Damn it! Why did he recover his cultivation so fast before I could replace him?!
"No, you can't do this to me, no!"
The warlock in white opened his arms and shouted to the sky.
"Did he say that Xu Qi 'an has recovered his cultivation?"
"It's not Senior Xu who caused such a commotion, but Xu Qi 'an?"
This sentence seemed to have the effect of enlightening him. In an instant, Li Lingsu pieced together all the fragmented details.
Xu Qian was from the capital, and so was Xu Qi 'an.
Xu Qian was a Transcendent Realm master, and so was Xu Qi 'an.
Xu Qian was collecting Dragon Breath, and the Dragon Breath had only dissipated after the fall of the Daibun Emperor.
Li Miaozhen had no respect for Xu Qian, and the other two holders of the Earthly Tome's fragments did not greet him as a junior.
And just now, this warlock in white said that the person who recovered his cultivation was Xu Qi 'an!
There was a "boom" in Li Lingsu's mind. A bolt of lightning struck him, causing his expression to stiffen and his pupils to dilate.
After a while, he slowly turned his head and looked at the three holders of the Earthly Tome's fragments.
"Xu, Xu Qian is Xu Qi 'an?"
The Holy Son stared at them.
Li Miaozhen could not hide the smile on her face. "Looks like you found out."
Li Lingsu's face twitched. "Why, why didn't you tell me?"
Chu Yuanzhen said sincerely, "He hid his identity to avoid his enemies and collect Dragon Breath. You've traveled with him for so long, you should be able to see that there are many enemies who covet him."
"For example, the Buddhist Sect!" The Holy Son nodded.
He let out a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, whether Xu Qian was Xu Qi 'an or Xu Qi' an was Xu Qian, they were both Transcendent Realm masters.
It was not shameful to pretend to be a junior in front of a Transcendent Realm master, even if this Transcendent Realm master was someone of the same generation.
Xu Qian, no, Xu Qi 'an, pretended to be a senior master mainly because of the requirements of the task and the circumstances.
He and Xu Qi 'an had never met before. You don't know me, and I don't know you, so there was nothing shameful about it.
If they were old friends, it would be really shameful if one was fooled by the other.
The Holy Son thought about it and felt that it was nothing. The awkwardness in his heart eased a little.
"So Xu Qian is Xu Qi 'an. Looks like I don't have to drink with him anymore."
Li Lingsu smiled. He said it deliberately, even with a little self-deprecation, to show that he was not embarrassed at all.
He even thought of a better way. The Saint chuckled and smiled.
"You guys don't know, Xu … Xu Qi 'an is quite good at acting as a master. He even recited a poem. Hmm,' Eight hundred autumns since I attained the Dao, I have never taken someone's head with a flying sword … '"
He recited the poem again and said, "Now that I think about it, I feel embarrassed for him."
That's right, the better way was to actively embarrass Xu Qi 'an and expose his pretentious behavior.
That way, Li Miaozhen and the others would forget that he had been calling Xu Qi 'an "Senior" during this period of time.
"Shameless!"
Suddenly, there was a loud shout. Li Lingsu turned his head in surprise and saw that the warlock in white in the room seemed to have suffered some kind of stimulation and was repeatedly reciting the poem.
He said in a tone of excitement, jealousy, and indignation:
"The reason why I can't surpass him is because he knows how to write poems. I can't accept it …
"He's just a brat, but he's so pretentious."
Li Lingsu smiled and echoed, "Right, but you guys should just listen to these things.
Don't spread it out. "He was afraid that Xu Qi 'an would take revenge on him.
He was afraid that Xu Qi 'an would take revenge on him.
The Saint retracted his gaze and pretended to be relaxed as he looked at Li Miaozhen and the other two. However, he discovered that their expressions were strange, as if they were examining fools.
"You guys …"
The Holy Son's heart sank.
Li Miaozhen said faintly, "I forgot to tell you something."
Chu Yuanzhen sighed, "Xu Qi 'an is also a wielder of the Earth Tome fragment."
Just as Li Lingsu's face turned pale, Master Hengy Yuan added, "He also knows that you are a wielder of the Earth Tome fragment.
We all know that Number Seven has a close relationship with Daoist Li, and they are suspected to be from the same sect. "
Li Lingsu's body swayed, as if he could not take such a huge blow. He staggered backward, leaned against the wall, and slowly slid down.
He knows that I am also a member of the Heaven & Earth Society, and so is he. However, he did not say it out loud, and treated me respectfully as a senior …
Li Lingsu recalled all the bits and pieces of the time they traveled together.
Li Miaozhen said happily, "Ah, we still have to go see Zhong Li. We'll go first."
Finally, I'm not the most awkward one … Chu Yuanzhen nodded with a smile. "Okay."
The two of them walked along the dim corridor. Master Hengy Yuan saw that the Holy Son had nothing to live for, and he could not help but feel sympathetic.
"Amitabha, Fellow Li …"
Li Lingsu interrupted him with lifeless eyes. "Master, let me have some peace."
Master Hengy Yuan shook his head helplessly and followed his two companions.
The Holy Son shut himself for a while, and suddenly, he heard a sigh from the room.
"You seem to have been poisoned by Xu Qi 'an."
Li Lingsu's voice was emotionless. "Unfortunately, I am not his match."
Yang Qianhuan said solemnly, "You have spoken my mind."
Li Lingsu's eyes regained some liveliness. "What do you mean?"
"It's a long story …"
...
On the Eight Trigrams Platform.
Night fell, and the sun completely sank into the horizon.
Xu Qi 'an calmed down and examined his body. He was delighted to find that after the Governing Meridian was unblocked, his Qi movement had reached 80%.
Before cultivating with Luo Yuheng, 80% of his Qi movement was equivalent to the weakest third-grade Warrior.
After cultivating with her, 80% of his Qi movement was equivalent to a third-grade Warrior.
In other words, Xu Qi 'an's current cultivation had passed the early-stage third-grade, but he had yet to reach the mid-stage third-grade.
Of course, his physical strength was still sealed. If he were to compete with a third-grade Warrior in close combat, he would definitely not be able to do so.
Even if I can't win, I won't be in such a sorry state. He can't capture me or kill me either.
I don't have to be so secretive in my next trip.
...
Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace.
Lin 'an brought two personal maids to the Imperial Study.
The maids stood at the bottom of the stairs outside the door and watched Her Highness walk up the stairs. She was led into the room by the eunuch on duty outside the Imperial Study.
The Imperial Study was brightly lit, and the furnishings were luxurious. The Yongxing Emperor sat behind a large table covered with yellow silk, reading memorials.
"Brother Emperor, why did you call me here?"
Lin 'an asked.
The Yongxing Emperor hurriedly put down the memorials and greeted her with a smile.
"Good sister, I have a favor to ask of you."
