Chapter 581: A Good Opportunity
Seeing Xie Wuji and Ling Chuxi exchange blows, Lin Cangbo and the rest were secretly shocked. With Ling Chuxi’s comprehension abilities, if she were to be promoted to the realm of True Essence, how strong would she be? Mo Kongyuan indeed had some foresight to have chosen the right person. Thinking about this, the few of them could not help but feel a little depressed. Such a talent, why was she not from their own countries instead?
With a big laugh, Xie Wuji used all of his strength. Both of his hands were thoroughly red by now. He sent another palm attack over and the surrounding air became twisted under the high temperature of his Battle Qi.
Although his cultivation was suppressed at the realm of Great Fulfilment, the artistic conception of his moves was in the realm of True Essence. Ling Chuxi only felt the air around her turn sluggish as her entire being was suppressed by the hot surge of Battle Qi. Without a choice, she could only use all of her strength to meet his palm attack with one of her own.
Their two palms met once again and a shocking blast as loud as thunder rang out.
Ling Chuxi only felt a surge of Battle Qi full of an invincible violent attacking aura wash over her, directly invading her meridians. Even her Thundercloud Battle Qi was unable to withstand it.
Both surprised and startled in her heart, Ling Chuxi did not dare to delay and could only do her utmost to circulate her Battle Qi. Nonetheless, she was unable to withstand the invasion of that violent surge of Battle Qi and only felt that it had invaded her Qi Ocean through her meridians. One needed to know that the Qi Ocean was the foundation of a cultivator’s cultivation but was also at the same time their body’s weakest link. Once it was attacked and destroyed by another’s Battle Qi, if it was a serious injury, one would die on the spot, if it was a light injury, one’s whole body would be paralyzed.
‘It can’t be, right? This old man really worked hard as though his life depended on it,’ thought Ling Chuxi to herself with a bitter look on her face. How was this a test? It was practically playing with her life.
“This Xie Wuji, how could he not know how to moderate the severity of his attacks?” Mo Kongyuan and the rest of the guardians could also see the danger brought about by this last attack and was just about to voice out and stop the test, but suddenly realized that odd expressions were appearing on Ling Chuxi’s face. First was terror, then came surprise, and after that it was manic delight. They could not help but be stunned.
Nobody had noticed that just now, in that instant, the Dazzling Heart Stone around Ling Chuxi’s wrist had started emitting a fantastical light that outsiders could not see.
A small gap appeared in the seal in her Qi Ocean. Although this gap was small, but the extremely cold and gloomy qi that came from her Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian was like a burst of water rushing out of the floodgates, colliding with Xie Wuji’s violent and scorching Battle Qi.
Waves of piercing pain came from Ling Chuxi’s meridians, but the extremely cold and gloomy qi gushing from the broken seal was offset by the surge of scorching Battle Qi invading her meridians and so she did not have the feeling of extreme cold overtaking her as if her entire body had fallen into an ice pit like the last time.
An opportunity! A good and very hard to come by opportunity! Ling Chuxi was ecstatic and had even forgotten about the piercing pain that was coming from her meridians.
The reason why she had been unable to breakthrough and be promoted was precisely because this seal had been suppressing her cultivation. However, if the seal was broken, she was then unable to withstand the extremely cold and gloomy qi of the Nine Gloom Absolute Meridian. This left her in a cultivation stasis.
However now, Xie Wuji’s hot Battle Qi could coincidentally offset the extremely cold and gloomy qi. Was this not a great opportunity to achieve a breakthrough?
Ling Chuxi used her consciousness to control the Dazzling Heart Stone without hesitating. She maintained the gap in the seal to continuously release the extremely cold and gloomy qi and at the same time, used her Battle Qi to protect her meridians.
Most of the effects of the extremely cold and gloomy qi was offset by Xie Wuji’s scorching Battle Qi, but some of it was being integrated with Ling Chuxi’s Thundercloud Battle Qi. According to Ling Chuxi’s experience, this was the fastest and most effective way to raise her cultivation level.
Of course, Ling Chuxi also knew that the extremely cold and gloomy qi would cause a great depletion of energy for Xie Wuji, but right now, she couldn’t be bothered about it so much. This kind of ppportunity was hard to come by. Who asked his Battle Qi to be so unique to her situation?
Who asked his cultivation to be so strong? He’s a dignified guardian of Shang Yuan Country. Definitely nothing too bad will happen to him. Ling Chuxi casually put on a high hat for Xie Wuji in her heart, and it could also be considered a form of self-comfort for her decision.
If Xie Wuji knew that Ling Chuxi had given him such a high hat in her heart to justify making use of his Battle Qi as such, he would have definitely started cursing. “Strong cultivation? Wasn’t Old Monster Mo’s cultivation strong as well? Isn’t he also a guardian? Nothing too bad would happen to me? Why didn’t you get Old Monster M to come and try this out instead?”
