Chapter 164 Sending Off Green Ivy and Black Dog (Happy New Year)

"What's this name?"

Wu Xiao looked at the book in her hand. The name sounded quite respectable, but she knew Li Ming wasn't a respectable person, and what he gave her was definitely not respectable.

She couldn't resist her curiosity and turned to the first page, which read: Subtitle: *Immortal Forbidden 18 Styles*.

Amazing.

There was even a subtitle.

Curious, Wu Xiao tentatively flipped down further.

First Style: Playing the Flute and Zither.

Playing the flute and zither to the Jade Terrace, together performing the mysterious Wushan Clouds.

Difficulty Index: 1.

Pleasure Index: 3.

Below was a detailed illustration.

It explained in detail how to cultivate: a woman held a jade flute, and a man played a zither; the sounds of the flute and zither echoed and complemented each other.

"Li Ming, I'm going to kill you."

...

Li Ming of the Yunmeng Sect shuddered. He had wanted to secretly peek at Wu Xiao's expression.

However, even without looking, he knew what it was. He had modified the *Jade Maiden Heart Sutra*, ultimately arriving at the classic eighteen styles.

The prerequisite is that the two people are of one mind and cooperate in cultivation to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Never mind, let's see what she's doing.

Li Ming opened the Boundless Bowl, expecting her to roar, but she didn't.

He saw her covered by a blanket, head buried, asleep on the throne.

"That's right, she hasn't rested much these past few days, just playing around, probably tired too." Li Ming understood.

He closed the Boundless Bowl and stopped looking at her.

Only then did Li Ming notice the reward on the dragon-patterned wooden plaque: the Sun and Moon Seal.

This was a celestial technique.

Not very useful, he tossed it into his ring to gather dust.

He then went to the Peach Blossom Forest to comprehend it. He only needed two more levels to reach the 1,296,000th level of the *Qi Refining Technique*, just two more levels.

Two levels—he'd been stuck there for who knows how long.

Every time someone fell behind, after they left, he would go to the Peach Blossom Forest to comprehend it, trying his luck to see if he could gain any new insights.

This time was no exception.

Hopefully, he'd gain something.

In the Peach Blossom Forest, Li Ming sat cross-legged in the void, forming hand seals.

A few days later.

Li Ming's hand seals changed.

Dark clouds gathered, and layers of power continuously seeped out, filling the heavens and earth.

A multicolored lightning tribulation descended.

Li Ming bathed in the sea of ​​lightning, his white robes fluttering, radiant with immortal light, countless auspicious rays cascading down upon the Yunmeng Sect like a waterfall of silver.

"He's about to break through."

Black Dog's eyes gleamed, his gaze like lightning.

After being stuck for so long, he was finally about to break through. Sure enough, he still needed a beautiful woman. Wu Xiao's arrival gave him an opportunity. He really was a lecherous fellow.

"Such powerful strength."

Green Luo, afraid of being blown away, grabbed Dog's henchman.

At this moment, sand and stones flew, King Wei's might overwhelmed the sky, looking down upon the eight wastelands, shaking the ages.

His power was too strong, constantly overflowing.

Gradually, the sun and moon of the Yunmeng Sect lost their light, and the heavens and earth lost their color.

The power seeped out, and many areas of Dongsheng instantly turned into a colorless state. Countless powerful figures were terrified, wondering why they were suddenly in a colorless state.

They tried to find the source of the power, but they couldn't find it at all.

On this day, Dongsheng was in an uproar.

Everyone was talking about what had happened in Dongsheng—was it a sign of the end of the world?

Many powerful figures noticed something amiss; it seemed to be a breakthrough, with a unique and powerful force within his power.

Many powerful figures went into seclusion, trying to probe this power.

Many powerful figures from the Six Divine Dynasties, the Ten Immortal Sects, and others were studying it, with those possessing extraordinary talent even sitting down and entering a state of enlightenment.

Meanwhile, in the Great Martial Divine Dynasty,

Wu Xiao had already gotten up from her bed. She had naturally sensed that terrifying colorless power; it was definitely Li Ming's power.

"The colorless immortal spiritual power can only be his." Wu Xiao's beautiful eyes darted around, and with a swift movement, she arrived in the deep mountains and forests, saying, "These past few days in the Yunmeng Sect haven't been entirely fruitless."

She reviewed the knowledge she had learned before, and combined it with Li Ming's dictation. Now that he was in a state of enlightenment, she could use this opportunity to see if she could break through.

She felt this was a good opportunity and couldn't miss it.

She immediately sat down and began forming hand seals.

An immeasurable heavenly tribulation appeared within a radius of ten thousand miles. This was the power of the Heaven and Earth Intolerant Realm, unleashing its full force, causing the space within that radius to collapse almost instantly.

The commotion was immense, drawing many powerful beings and supreme beings to the scene, only to witness this earth-shattering spectacle.

"The Empress of the Great Martial God Dynasty has no protectors." Many supreme beings were astonished. They naturally recognized the woman, but she was alone here; her audacity was remarkable.

However, no one dared to approach; the scene before them was truly terrifying.

Space collapsed, and the ground turned into ruins.

Wu Xiao was completely oblivious to the figures constantly rushing towards her. She was wholeheartedly focused on enlightenment, practicing her own swordsmanship and her own path.

She intended to use Li Ming's momentum to break through to the Immortal King level in one fell swoop.

Slowly, her surroundings began to evolve, sword intent surging like a tsunami.

Time passed unnoticed, and night fell in the blink of an eye.Stars shone, moonlight shimmered.

Hand seals appeared, and the supreme sword embryo within her heart breathed with her. The heavenly tribulation in the sky expanded, gradually spreading to a hundred thousand miles.

Within this hundred thousand miles, the ground had long since transformed into a great rift valley, with surging immortal energy rising from the earth.

Flowers of the other shore bloomed in the air.

Crimson power illuminated heaven and earth.

The commotion she caused grew increasingly large, alarming countless countries. Even the old woman from the retirement village personally came, worried about her safety.

One night, half a month later,

Wu Xiao suddenly opened her eyes. Behind her, a massive white sculpture appeared, its eyes radiating light.

An immense divine soul power pierced through heaven and earth, like an invincible emperor looking down upon the mortal world.

Brilliant moonlight radiated from its body, and it slowly exhaled, its breath forming a five-clawed golden dragon.

She stood up, her entire body erupting with terrifying immortal spiritual power, ripples spreading thousands of feet. She plucked a blade of grass and casually tossed it out; the grass was like a deadly weapon.

Soaring straight into the sky.

Piercing through heaven and earth.

Boom.

A star was cleaved in two by her.

At this moment, many forces in Dongsheng witnessed this attack, and countless old immortals opened their eyes.

"So, breaking through from the Heaven and Earth Intolerable Realm to the Immortal King level requires the conversion of spiritual power, I see." Countless powerful figures began to go into seclusion to comprehend this power.

On this day, Dongsheng had its first Immortal King, the Empress of the Great Martial God Dynasty, Wu Xiao.

She stood in the void, her white robes fluttering, even the moon in the sky seemed to pale in comparison.

Countless young talents looked up in awe.

"It's done." Wu Xiao felt the power within her body, which was on a completely different level from the Heaven and Earth Intolerable Realm. The surge of spiritual power alone was ten times, a hundred times stronger.

She looked at some areas that were still in a state of fading light, it seemed that Li Ming was still in a state of enlightenment.

This breakthrough was truly thanks to him, who broke through by taking advantage of her opportunity.

What she didn't know was that many Immortal Kings born in Dongsheng in the future imitated her breakthrough.

...

In the Yunmeng Sect, Li Ming entered a strange state, his soul seemed to be traveling through the heavens.

When he regained consciousness, a purple mist emanated from his eyes.

The immortal spiritual power within his body surged once more, his spiritual sea seemingly transforming into a chaotic sea, with endless immortal spiritual power flowing and erupting within, like a miniature world. A

more terrifying scene unfolded across most of Dong Sheng: the sun and moon lost their light, the world paled in comparison, and lightning flashed—a scene resembling the end of the world.

Soon after, Li Ming broke through.

He gained one more level in Qi Refining, but this one level also transformed his spiritual sea into a chaotic sea, with yin and yang swirling within it.

Now, he was only one level away from the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Technique.

Just one level away.

He wanted to seize the opportunity and break through again, so he continued his seclusion to comprehend it.

However, he didn't expect that when he opened his eyes again, five thousand years had passed in Yunmeng Sect, and five thousand years had also passed in Dong Sheng, the Ancestral Continent.

Five thousand years, and he still hadn't broken through, but he felt he was just a little bit short, like reaching 99% in cultivation—just that little bit more and he would have reached the perfection of Qi Refining.

He always felt something was missing.

He stood in the sky, gazing at the heavens, and with a wave of his hand, a sword constructed of immortal spiritual energy pierced the sky above the Yunmeng Sect.

With a single strike, rules and order surged.

Yet, he still managed to pierce a gap in the sky.

The gap was slowly repaired by the power of rules and will.

"The Yunmeng Sect is broken!" Black Dog and Green Vine shouted, "Can we get out now?"

They were incredibly excited.

While Li Ming was in seclusion, they were almost dying of boredom, wasting their days with nothing to do. Being able to go out would be exciting.

Li Ming landed on the ground, looked at them, and said, "It's time to go out and have some fun. Prepare yourselves, we're leaving immediately."

Li Ming felt that he could only comprehend the last layer of Qi Refining after leaving the sect; staying in the Yunmeng Sect would make it impossible.

"No need to prepare, I'm ready all the time."

Black Dog opened its eyes. It had long awaited this day. It wanted to go out and lead the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, to once again attack the Divine Mountain Forbidden Land. It needed to know what was at the center of the Divine Mountain Forbidden Land.

This was a route it had planned long ago.

Seeing Li Ming break the rules, she was so excited she danced with joy.

"I didn't have anything good prepared," Green Vine said.

Black Dog wasn't worried, after all, he was very strong, but he was a little worried about Green Vine.

So Li Ming condensed a drop of his blood essence, put it in a small bottle, and wore it around her neck.

He then threw many magical treasures into the spatial bell that Green Vine was wearing.

There were pagodas, bronze sword boxes, the Sword of Judgment, the Jade Scepter, Diao Chan Whip, Fangtian Halberd, Chaotic Wild Dagger, a 100,000-jin iron hammer, a golden ancient war chariot, a Heaven-Reaching Netherworld Treasure, a Yin-Yang Diagram, a spatial killing array, and so on .

He threw all of these to Green Vine.

"I asked you before and you wouldn't give them to me, but now you're stuffing them all into my hands, don't you want them?"

"I don't need them." At his level, he could destroy the world with every move.

"These are for your self-defense, so you won't get bullied outside."

Black Dog was speechless. She could be bullied, she just didn't bully others.

Giving her so many supreme treasures, she could probably walk sideways.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and go," the black dog urged.

Li Ming said no more, and with a flick of his index finger, severed the rules and order of the Yunmeng Sect, creating an opening.
