Starting Cultivation During a Trip

"Year after year, spring was once splendid, but now the earth is filled with the dead, blown by the aged winds..."

Chen Dragon murmured softly, her expression calm at this moment, with no sorrow or joy, yet her gaze was sharply radiant, extraordinarily captivating.

"So many people have died; Qiu Shangqing, you can die too."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Shangqing disappeared from where he stood. Everything vanished there, leaving a massive crater as if the sky had collapsed, spreading around.

In an instant, Qiu Shangqing appeared before Chen Dragon, where two terrifying figures intertwined in collision.

Rumble...

Thunder rose, True Flame extinguished, as clouds stirred in the vast world.

The horrifying phenomenon was earth-shattering. From a distance, the hanging clouds seemed to be torn apart by two distinct forces, turning the dark night sky into two colors, one like Profound Nether Water, the other like dazzling abyss.

"Celestial Master Battle!"

In the distance, Zhang Fan and Ge Shuangxiu abruptly stopped on their way to the Zhang Family Ancestral Mansion. Looking up, they saw the celestial phenomenon abruptly change, with a terrifying aura spreading between heaven and earth, even making their Primordial Spirits tremble with fear.

"Unity of Heaven and Man, where the human’s heart is Heaven’s heart, and human anger is Heaven’s anger..." Ge Shuangxiu’s face was serious.

"Has Chen Dragon started fighting?"

"A Celestial Master battle is no ordinary matter."

Not only Zhang Fan and Ge Shuangxiu at this moment...

Lou Hechuan, Wang Qi, Xing Ying, Ge Changfeng, Qiu Wan Nian, and even Qiu Buyi, who narrowly escaped death, all looked toward the sky, witnessing the sudden celestial change...

Within everyone’s eyes were deep respect and awe; every cultivator whose Primordial Spirit awakened was unsettled by this phenomenon.

Rumble...

On the dilapidated old street, a mist rose, with endless airflow erupting from within Qiu Shangqing, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack inch by inch.

The boiling mist was like a marsh, hiding terrifying power, crushing and shattering everything in sight, while the surrounding houses gradually fell apart under the strain.

"Qi Transformation Circulation!"

Zhang Fan and Ge Shuangxiu stood at a distance, not daring to get close.

The Ancestor Qiu’s technique emphasized refining the body with Qi, nourishing the spirit with the body.

Qiu Shangqing, being a distinguished master within the Celestial Master realm, naturally inherited the Ancestral Master’s Samadhi.

That mist, much like a meat grinder, could pulverize anything that dared to approach.

"Qiu Shangqing, dare you approach me!?"

Suddenly, a long roar rose, as Chen Dragon took a step forward, moving through the terrifying mist as though it was an unoccupied realm. Her body was light as a feather, yet her power was as heavy as a mountain. With just one step, she compressed and grasped the boiling mist in her palm.

"Five Elements Mistaken King!?" Zhang Fan’s expression grew solemn.

One of the Nine Great Inner Elixir Methods, the Five Elements Mistaken King, was unmatched when specializing in the physical body.

Rumble...

Chen Dragon unleashed a punch, condensing the compressed mist into a sphere, crushing it toward Qiu Shangqing.

Buzz...

In almost the same instant, lightning surged around Qiu Shangqing, retreating a hundred meters like a fleeting bolt.

Chen Dragon’s punch missed, and the boiling mist exploded, its raging energy colliding hard against her, igniting countless sparks.

"Heart Fire Bloom!"

Chen Dragon’s expression was composed, sealing with one hand.

Rumble...

Next moment, Qiu Shangqing’s chest burst open, True Flame blazing like an earth-shattering inferno, shooting skyward, illuminating half the sky and permeating the cloudy night.

Such terrifying flames surpassed even the Lao Mountain Great Flowing Flame.

"Five Elements of the Human Body, Heart Fire Aspect!" Zhang Fan said solemnly.

"The Five Elements Mistaken King is indeed terrifying if it gets close; is the Five Elements misalignment then under the control of that person’s weight?" Ge Shuangxiu’s eyes were filled with deep fear, finally gaining new insight into this legendary Inner Core Technique.

Buzz...

Amidst blazing fire, Qiu Shangqing’s body trembled violently, with chest injuries rapidly healing as visible to the naked eye. Simultaneously, he gurgled, producing terrifying sounds like dragon roars and thunder, shaking heaven and earth, shocking all who heard it.

"Worthy of a Celestial Master, suffering such a heavy blow yet remaining unharmed?"

Boom...

Suddenly, Qiu Shangqing opened his mouth, spewing a stream of azure light, surging like True Flame, faster than lightning, pressing toward Chen Dragon.

"Qiu Family’s Divine Breath Technique!?" Zhang Fan’s heart stirred slightly.

This technique is renowned and universally known.

Ancestor Qiu, titled Changchun Zhenren, reportedly had a technique that refined a breath in his chest, sitting in a mountain for thirty years to transform Qi into Divine Breath, traversing spring and autumn, rejuvenating, with a long lifespan.

Thus it is said, with a faint breath traversing spring and autumn, the country does not age, and heaven and earth sorrow.

Throughout history, only disciples of the Qiu Family who have entered the Celestial Master realm can comprehend the mysteries of this technique.

Rumble...

That Divine Breath changed freely, overshadowing even the might of heavenly thunder, and dimming the mysteries of True Flame, as terrifying pressure surged from all directions.

In a flash, the place where Chen Dragon stood seemed to transform into a Vast Sea of Fury, with waves overturning heaven and earth, burying all things.

"Your Laozi also mastered this technique, but unfortunately still had to die."

Chen Dragon’s silver teeth clenched, suddenly opening her mouth to swallow that stream of Divine Breath directly.

Such a horrifying scene even changed Qiu Shangqing’s complexion.

This stream of Divine Breath, forged through countless trials, could be termed a great tribulation, yet now Chen Dragon faced it as if consuming a pill, with fate urging for a return.

Rumble...

A series of deafening sounds resounded from within Chen Dragon, like heavenly clouds surging, thunder booming, followed by a spray of azure mist from her body, as the surrounding ground seemed to melt and deform under high temperature and pressure.
