Although he had already told Xuan Lingzi about the "Seeking Immortality" incident, Luo Jianqing still hadn't told him about his rebirth. It wasn't that he didn't trust Xuan Lingzi, but he didn't want to burden him.
Of the three books in "Seeking Immortality," only the plot, which currently covers Xuan Lingzi handing his natal sword to Li Xiuchen and asking him to retrieve Luo Jianqing, has been revealed. Luo Jianqing doesn't want to tell Xuan Lingzi about the sword piercing his heart. Those memories are just a thing of the past life; now that they're together, there's no need to dwell on them, only to create more distance between them.
The book also mentioned that Li Xiuchen had obtained a treasure in Wanshou Ridge that could isolate the Xuanling Sword from Xuanlingzi. The Xuanling Sword would never have been able to kill Luo Jianqing, as Xuanlingzi could sense the sword even from a distance. This was why Luo Jianqing hadn't suspected Li Xiuchen of stealing the sword.
Since everything had nothing to do with Xuan Lingzi, there was no need to think about it anymore. Luo Jianqing's only thought now was to kill Li Xiuchen.
Luo Jianqing had tried to do it back in the Beidou Ruins, but had failed. Heaven forbade him to do so, but the vengeance of his two junior brothers' deaths outweighed everything else, leaving him wanting to tear Li Xiuchen into pieces immediately.
If you want to seize your opportunity, why do you want to endanger other people's lives?
That was your chance. His two fellow apprentices didn't gain any benefit from it. Instead, they blocked an attack for you for no reason and paid the price with their lives!
Li Xiuchen, whenever you use your opportunities to improve your cultivation level, do you never feel ashamed or guilty?
Under the gentle, bright sunlight, the azure monk's expression was icy, the blue lotus sword pattern between his brows radiating an aggressive, coercive aura. The Frost Floating Sword chimed between Luo Jianqing's brows, hearing its master's cries and wanting to fight alongside him and slay the shameless villain!
Xuan Lingzi stared at the furious Luo Jianqing before him, his eyes narrowing slightly. But in the end, he still sighed and said, "That book 'Seeking Immortality' says that Li Xiuchen is the protagonist of the entire book. Jianqing, you once said that you wanted to kill Li Xiuchen several times, but for some reason you couldn't. Do you understand that this is the way of heaven preventing you?"
Luo Jianqing said, "But if we cut off all possibilities and use a force ten thousand or a hundred million times greater than Li Xiuchen's ability to kill him, he can't possibly escape by coincidence again and again!"
Xuan Lingzi had an indifferent expression. He raised his head silently and took a look at the boundless sky.
"If that were the case, the Heavenly Dao would definitely take the initiative to stop it."
This one sentence made Luo Jianqing stunned.
Xuan Lingzi said, "When you reach a certain level of cultivation, you will understand that the Way of Heaven has consciousness. This consciousness is almost inaudible compared to that of ordinary people, but it is not nonexistent. For example, it may favor the so-called protagonist and create all kinds of good luck for him. If you really want to kill Li Xiuchen, I am afraid that when you create a plan that makes it impossible for Li Xiuchen to escape, divine thunder will descend from the sky to prevent you from killing him."
Luo Jianqing clenched his fists and said unwillingly, "Is there really no other way?"
Xuan Lingzi's eyes fixed: "Yes, you come to change the sky!"
Luo Jianqing was stunned, as if he had heard this sentence somewhere before. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Mo Qiu had said this before.
Xuan Lingzi said, "Who says this heaven must be this heaven? If you are powerful enough, if you can comprehend the origin of the Heavenly Dao, why can't you make the Heavenly Dao change its rules, why can't you make the earth move for you? We cultivators, on our journey to immortality, have died while trying to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, never able to touch the truth. They don't know that true cultivation is about cultivating oneself. Jianqing, your master has been telling you this for so many years, do you understand that only when you are strong yourself can you truly possess the true power?"
Xuan Lingzi's words landed with a loud thud, hitting Luo Jianqing's heart.
A blood-red jade token gently circulated within Luo Jianqing's dantian, emitting a subtle sense of pressure. This jade token was so strange that even Xuan Lingzi's spirit seemed unaware of its presence. Luo Jianqing knew this was the power of the Nine Heavenly Records!
"Nine Records of Seizing the Heaven" is about seizing the heaven!
Since Heaven prevents me from killing Li Xiuchen, and since Heaven is unfair to the world, I will seize this Heaven and change everything!
Instantly, the spiritual energy within Luo Jianqing's body surged and began to circulate. Seeing this, Xuan Lingzi was stunned and froze in astonishment. With a flick of his sleeve, he created a barrier for Luo Jianqing, and Luo Jianqing sat cross-legged within it, forming complex hand gestures with his fingers, forming shadows as he frantically plundered the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.
The "Nine Heavenly Records" began to run at an extremely fast speed.
Streams of ethereal power surged from Luo Jianqing's body, roaring like a long dragon as it burst through the barrier and began to snatch the spiritual energy scattered in the air. Their behavior was almost rampant, as they absorbed this spiritual energy into their arms as if it were no one else, and then squeezed it all into Luo Jianqing's body.
The spiritual energy poured in from the Tianling acupoint, surging like a river and vast like the ocean.
A hazy green light emerged around Luo Jianqing, enveloping him. The power of the Nine Heavenly Seizures Record gradually became apparent. Near the bamboo hut on Yuxiao Peak, the invisible laws of heaven and earth began to tremble. Thunderclouds gathered in the sky, threatening to rain down thunder. Xuan Lingzi stomped his foot against the ground, his eyes cold, and shouted, "Get out!"
The thundercloud hesitated for a long time, but finally dispersed reluctantly.
So Luo Jianqing sat in the barrier to absorb spiritual energy, while Xuan Lingzi put one hand behind his back and guarded him.
After a full thirty days, Luo Jianqing finally opened his eyes and woke up. A bright light flashed in his eyes, and his entire aura changed dramatically. Before his retreat, he had reached the Great Perfection of the Middle Nascent Soul Stage. Afterward, he had directly broken through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage, reaching the Half-Step Out-of-Body Stage!
