I Can Strengthen Infinitely

But the monster’s strength far exceeded their imagination. Within a few breaths, several members of the team had already silently fallen, not even knowing how they died, turning into corpses.

"What audacity!!!"

Just as the remaining disciples thought they were going to die here, a thunderous shout suddenly rang out from not far away, causing the monster to tremble all over and stand there motionless.

It took a full three breaths for it to recover.

But it was already too late. A figure swiftly approached, landing a palm strike on the monster’s head.

This palm strike was incredibly powerful, with a manifestation of thunder appearing alongside it. It was a renowned first-class martial art known as Thunderbolt Palm in the Jianghu.

Bang!

The monster’s head was directly hit by the Thunderbolt Palm, instantly exploding with a loud bang.

Ooh!

The monster didn’t even have the chance to react or struggle. As the possessed person’s head exploded, a shadow flew out from its body.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually a mouse in the shape of a shadow.

The person who struck didn’t stop there; another palm strike swiftly dispersed the mouse on the spot.

A gust of cold wind blew by, causing the remaining lucky patrol team members to shiver all over.

When they got a clear look at the person who helped them, they immediately cupped their fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for saving our lives. If it weren’t for you, we would have surely perished at the hands of this monster."

The person who made the move was one of the Celestial Secret City’s guests, possessing Inner Strength and having experienced dealings with the supernatural.

Just moments ago, he sensed a surge of demonic energy in the surroundings, and feeling puzzled, he stepped out to investigate, just in time to save these people.

"Still, I came too late. What’s going on with you all, tell me in detail? Celestial Secret City has always been a place of peace and good fortune, with no room for malevolence to grow, especially with the sun’s yang energy gathered during the day and lingering at night. How could there be an emergence of the supernatural?"

The patrol team members recounted what they knew, all shaking their heads in confusion. "We don’t know why a monster appeared either, Mr. Lu. This matter needs to be reported to the higher-ups immediately."

"You go notify others first to prevent more incidents. I’ll report to Divine Calculation Elder right away."

With that, Mr. Lu quickly left the place.

The few survivors quickly regrouped and left, not daring to stay any longer.

...

Qin Yuesheng sat on his bed in his room, cultivating the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Nine Lives Scripture.

The avatar of the first life was already cultivated, and now he was working towards the second life.

The higher one goes with these avatars, the more difficult the cultivation becomes. However, each avatar provides tremendous assistance to the cultivator.

Qin Yuesheng sat cross-legged, focusing his energy in his Dantian, his spirit and vigor highly concentrated, which allowed him great progress in this state.

Suddenly, the candlelight in the room flickered slightly without reason.

Qin Yuesheng raised an eyebrow but did not open his eyes.

No wind, yet the candle flickers.

The next instant, the candle was extinguished, a wisp of blue smoke rising, plunging the entire room into darkness.

A withered yellow skull suddenly appeared behind Qin Yuesheng, its eyes flashing yellow as it aimed its hollow nasal cavities at the back of his head, beginning to absorb his essence.

But the next instant, a large hand smashed down, carrying a thread of Nine Yang Inner Strength.

Bang!

Without any hindrance, the skull was instantly shattered by Qin Yuesheng with a palm strike, its entire form turning to ash under the Nine Yang Inner Strength.

Qin Yuesheng slowly opened his eyes, sighing helplessly, "It seems this time, no one in Celestial Secret City can escape all this."

Though Qin Yuesheng was quite wary of the owner of those eyes, wariness was not fear, nor was it simply being passive and taking hits. Since the other side had already spread these supernatural methods throughout the entire Celestial Secret City, he couldn’t stay untainted in this mess any longer.

No choice but to wade through this muddy water.

Getting up, Qin Yuesheng stepped out of the room, using the Yellow Springs Eye to locate the areas around Celestial Secret City where yellow qi appeared, quickly moving to those locations.

Tonight, a battle was inevitable.

...

Divine Calculation Elder watched as subordinate after subordinate came to report various incidents discovered throughout the city tonight.

Apart from sporting a wax-covered head, cases of monster attacks, vengeful spirits, mysterious suicides were numerous. Carefully counting, up to this point, thirty-six people had died, an unprecedented tragedy for Celestial Secret City, causing Divine Calculation Elder’s face to grow grim.

"Who exactly is targeting my Celestial Secret City?" Divine Calculation Elder gritted his teeth, calculating again and again but unable to uncover any clues. It seemed the opponent had means to obscure destiny, making it impossible for the famed diviner to utilize his expertise.

"Elder Hong, should we report to Elder Liu? In this situation, I feel..."

"He’s amidst a critical phase in his seclusion. Unless there’s a threat of Celestial Secret City’s destruction, it isn’t the right time to ask him to emerge. For now, order the Eight Divisions to activate the Day Sun Grand Array. Regardless of anything, we must first clear out all the infiltrated supernatural entities in the city," Divine Calculation Elder said sternly.

"As you command."

In the impression of those in Jianghu, Celestial Secret City was a martial force. Few realized it was, in fact, a bastion of numerous daoist arrays. Once those arrays were activated, even a Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm expert would find themselves grievously harmed if they dared intrude.

Therefore, Divine Calculation Elder felt confident. The renown of Celestial Secret City in the martial world was not merely hearsay.

Before long, with the sound of eight gears activating echoing throughout Celestial Secret City, the temperature instantly rose, warming light emerging from every paving stone within the city.

In an instant, the massive glow transformed Celestial Secret City into something akin to daylight.

A multitude of supernatural entities roaming everywhere in the city evaporated under this light, incapable of resistance.

This was the Day Sun Grand Array of Celestial Secret City, capable of absorbing the sun’s daylight and, upon activation, releasing the stored sunlight.

It was the ultimate nemesis for dealing with supernatural entities. Unless it was a millennium-old Demon King or Ghost King, ordinary entities couldn’t resist the sunlight’s influence.

In no time, along the East Sea’s coast, the gleaming Celestial Secret City became the most conspicuous presence, resembling a target of sorts.

Qin Yuesheng, having just eliminated a ghostly entity, saw the entire city light up, feeling his Nine Yang Inner Strength stirring with excitement, indicating a close connection between the Day Sun Force and Nine Yang Inner Strength.

"Indeed, Celestial Secret City has its own tactics. In this case, the hidden enemy might not be able to stay idle," he thought, leaping swiftly towards the highest point in the city, utilizing the mystical Biluo Eye to secure a high vantage point. This allowed him to oversee the entire situation and avoid passivity.

At the pinnacle of Celestial Secret City, Qin Yuesheng perched upon a rooftop, overlooking the surroundings. With the radiant city as a backdrop, the areas near Celestial Secret City turned even darker in the night. Fortunately, with strong night vision from the Biluo Eye, he could still discern various fine details and corners.

Woosh, woosh, woosh!

The waves from the East Sea continuously crashed against the shore, making a splashing sound.

Amidst the sound of these waves, dark shadows suddenly emerged, using both hands and feet to quickly climb up the coast, heading towards Celestial Secret City.
