I Have A Dual World Seal

On Phoenix Mountain, everyone’s a fire-playing expert!

Lu Zheng sighed once, waved his hand, and actually summoned clouds and rain. Under the blessing of the Profound Turtle Water Control True Spirit Secret Technique, in just a few breaths, dark clouds shrouded the sky over Phoenix Mountain, and wind and rain were about to descend.

Yan Qingxue was genuinely shocked.

By this point, Lu Zheng had already displayed four paths of cultivation.

Cloud Technique, Martial Dao, Thunder Technique, Water Technique.

And each path was practiced to a refined, skillful degree, with deep foundations.

He had only been on the cultivation path for a mere ten years or so; how on earth had he mastered so many spells?

If he had specialized in just one from the start, would he already have hopes of Ascension by now?

Forming a Seal Technique between his fingers, Wind and Rain Flying Immortal slanted downward; within the rain was mixed the true intent of the Profound Turtle, and it doused all the five-colored flames filling the air.

But while the flames were extinguished, the five-colored smoke seized the gaps, sometimes scattering, sometimes gathering, sometimes forming an array, sometimes coordinating, merging into the wind and rain, and actually took on a stance of host replacing guest as it shrouded toward Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng smiled faintly; with a flicker of his figure, he suddenly vanished, and in the blink of an eye appeared behind Yan Qingxue. A True Cloud Curse shot straight at the vital acupoint on her back.

Only, before the spell could get close, Yan Qingxue’s figure burst apart, turning into a wisp of five-colored light smoke and disappearing.

When she reappeared, it was a hundred zhang away from Lu Zheng.

And the wisps of five-colored light smoke that had dispersed when her incarnation scattered now drifted toward Lu Zheng’s body, faint and indistinct, trying to bore their way in.

But around Lu Zheng, a thin layer of Innate Cloud Qi emerged, blocking all of it outside.

"Wow!!!"

On Phoenix Mountain, the onlookers were all full of praise.

Lu Zheng was fighting with effortless ease, and Yan Qingxue with free, unrestrained flair. Their magical combat carried a sense of relaxed, artful grace.

In other words, it was a beautiful fight.

"Qingxue’s position-shifting spell has quite the same subtlety as Lu Lang’s Wind and Rain Flying Immortal!" Shen Ying sighed.

"And that five-colored smoke—sometimes light and nimble, sometimes heavy and solid, sometimes ancient and simple, sometimes graceful and drifting—the momentum differs, and so does the intent. Extremely profound." Liu Qingyan commented.

They praised Yan Qingxue, but little did they know that up and down Phoenix Mountain, people were also praising Lu Zheng.

No wonder he was the man Si Lingxi had set her sights on.

Although according to the four maids, including Red Crane, Si Lingxi took a liking to Lu Zheng mainly because he was "overflowing with talent," they still found it hard to accept that Si Lingxi would give herself to a "mortal."

Yet seeing Lu Zheng’s current age and current Dao Practice, they had no choice but to admit that Lu Zheng truly was a heaven-blessed genius, rarely seen in the world. Perhaps in not many years, he could Ascend to the Immortal Realm together with Si Lingxi.

The spectators were not blind. Although on the surface it looked like Yan Qingxue had a slight upper hand, in truth it was Lu Zheng who was fighting more aggressively.

Seeing Yan Qingxue escape a hundred zhang away yet expose her aura for an instant, Lu Zheng spread his five fingers.

"Qingwei Yu Chen, Cardinal Divine Destiny, strike!"

Cardinal Divine Operation Thunder descended from the heavens; the cardinal machine fell from on high, locking spirit and discerning soul. Once this thunder was released, it never missed its mark.

"Boom!"

The Cardinal Divine Operation Thunder crashed down. Yan Qingxue could not dodge and could only meet it with five-colored smoke, dissolving the descending thunder.

Only, with that one block, thunderbolts continued to fall in an unending stream.

Cardinal Divine Operation Thunder and Grand Seal Terrifying Divine Thunder fell in alternation, with now and then a soundless, traceless Cave Light Hidden Thunder mixed between them.

Yan Qingxue focused her mind and guarded her soul, enduring the assaults of the Grand Seal Terrifying Divine Thunder. Her figure flashed again, slipping free of the Cardinal Divine Operation Thunder’s lock.

Yet this wave of wild, overbearing thunder still made her momentum inevitably drop.

Lu Zheng’s ingenious coordination and chaining of various spells also exceeded Yan Qingxue’s expectations.

And when yet another Cave Light Hidden Thunder struck, Yan Qingxue’s figure flickered several times in midair, as if leaping, tracing out a mysterious arc that circled out of Lu Zheng’s attack range.

"What a body technique!" Shen Ying’s eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, she added, "It has the shadow of a dragon form?"

"Dragon Leaping Technique." Si Lingxi said lightly.

As Si Lingxi’s words fell, Yan Qingxue once again merged into the five-colored smoke. The next instant, the five-colored smoke fused into one and appeared beneath Lu Zheng, like a great cauldron, surging upward as if to contain him inside.

At the same time, blazing flames rose, evaporating all the rain around him, cutting him off from the more distant rain and breaking his Wind and Rain Flying Immortal flicker-and-shift method.

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, but his figure once again vanished strangely.

When he reappeared, he had directly arrived behind Yan Qingxue. Reaching out in a grab, the White Cloud Hand Seal merged into the five-colored smoke before him and actually dragged out the unprepared Yan Qingxue.

"What?" Yan Qingxue was startled. "What spell is this of yours?"

"The Taiqing True Scripture of Cloud Refining Secret Technique."

Lu Zheng smiled faintly. "Cloud Transformation Technique. Its effect is about the same as the earlier water-based shifting."

Yan Qingxue trembled all over and broke free from Lu Zheng’s White Cloud Hand Seal, but just as she was about to leave, she discovered that above and below, in the Four Directions and all Baji, everything was already shrouded in Innate Cloud Qi.

Yan Qingxue’s eyes flashed, and the flames on her body suddenly surged; she shot toward the sky, intending to burn through the Innate Cloud Qi covering above her and break free.

Lu Zheng formed Seal Techniques with his fingers; source-less yet inexhaustible Innate Cloud Qi gathered. For a thousand li, white clouds drifted leisurely, and cloud-light rippled gently over the scene.

Yan Qingxue soared upward. With a wave of her hand, flames scattered, then turned into five-colored smoke, shielding her all the way as she hacked a path through obstacles.

Countless strands of Innate Cloud Qi were worn away, yet even more Innate Cloud Qi converged.

Yan Qingxue charged for a while but did not break through the encirclement of Innate Cloud Qi. Looking back, she realized that her distance from Lu Zheng had not changed much at all.

"An array?"

Yan Qingxue’s eyes flashed as she realized she had already fallen into Lu Zheng’s Array.

Letting her gaze roam in all directions, Yan Qingxue shook her head, then drew in all her flame, opened her mouth, and took a deep breath. The surrounding five-colored smoke was entirely inhaled back into her mouth.

"Young Master Lu is indeed formidable." Yan Qingxue cupped her hands. "Qingxue is not your match."

If it were a life and death spell, Yan Qingxue could certainly keep fighting, but since this was only a friendly magical combat, she had already lost.

She had been trapped, and after charging for a while without breaking out—if that wasn’t a loss, what was?

At the same time Yan Qingxue inhaled and withdrew the five-colored smoke, Lu Zheng also dispersed the Innate Cloud Qi and put away the Secret Technique Cloud Light Realm.

"You’re too polite." Lu Zheng said. "If it were a life and death spell, victory or defeat would still be uncertain."

In their magical combat, they hadn’t even touched on comparing foundations, and hadn’t used any Magical Treasures at all.

Yan Qingxue shook her head, knowing Lu Zheng was just being courteous.

They were all top experts. When their Dao Practice was not too far apart, losing by a single move in a spar meant the difference in a real fight would not be great either—unless one side had a trump card that could turn the tide.

For example, certain Secret Techniques or Supreme Magical Treasures.

However... Yan Qingxue did not believe Lu Zheng would lack such trump cards.

Then, the mountaintop rang with a round of applause and Liu Qingquan’s cheers.
