Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

249: Qing Yun Sheng Zhu Li QingSun Xingzhe’s somewhat rascal-like voice echoed in the main hall, and several late-stage Saint Lords couldn’t help but laugh.

Immortal Lord Linglong rested her cheek on her left hand. ”You mischievous monkey, instead of protecting your Master on the Eastern Journey, why have you come to my Linglong Hall?”

In truth, she knew exactly what was happening, but due to the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, she still had to go through the motions.

”Dao Sovereign, that Holy Master Qingyun is truly detestable! We were passing through Immortal Phoenix County and only needed a single rain shower to overcome that tribulation.”

”But who would have thought he’d set up a grand array, enveloping the entire Immortal Phoenix County? No one can hope to call down even a single drop of rain!”

”That’s not all. When I went to find him, he actually set up some mountain of rice, flour, and a dog. He insisted that the rice and flour must be finished and the Immortal Lock burned through by fire before he would deactivate the array.”

”I don’t care; you have to handle this matter for Old Sun. If you don’t, then I—then Old Sun—won’t leave! I won’t leave!”

After saying this, Sun Xingzhe turned his back and crossed his arms, looking nothing like a Punisher.

Immortal Lord Linglong reached out her hand, making a gesture as if calculating the secrets of heaven. After a moment, she smiled and said, ”I am aware of this matter. I happen to have a guest here who can help you resolve it.”

Sun Xingzhe turned back upon hearing this, then twisted away again. ”Don’t you try to fool Old Sun. That Holy Master Qingyun is the world’s number one sword immortal. Unless you personally take action, who could possibly deal with him?”

Immortal Lord Linglong smiled and looked toward the Void Realm. ”Heavenly Sovereign, I wonder if you would be willing to make a trip?”

Qin Jiang, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but smile. He indeed intended to go see his Elder Sister and Xiaobai. Just as he was thinking about how to bring it up, Immortal Lord Linglong asked first.

With a flash of his figure, he arrived in the Linglong Hall.

”There is no reason I shouldn’t. However, if I take action, it might mean one less Holy Land in the world,” Qin Jiang said with a smile.

Sun Xingzhe stared wide-eyed at the approaching Qin Jiang. Why was this guy here?

Ever since their parting at Black Wind Ridge, he had realized exactly what kind of status this person held.

Especially later on, when two more people were forcibly added to the Eastern Journey team—that was this man’s doing.

Normally, the Eastern Journey was a joint venture between the Exquisite Dao Land and the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty. Even other Dao Lands couldn’t hope to interfere; being allowed a small share was already the two major powers giving Face.

But these two major powers, who were incredibly firm even against other Dao Lands, had opened wide the gates of convenience for this Immortal Lord Qin. They even allowed the originally planned four people to become six.

This was simply unimaginable.

Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped to the side, cupped his hands, and smiled. ”Greetings, Immortal Lord Qin.”

Qin Jiang waved his hand. ”Xingzhe, you are too polite.”

After speaking, he looked at Immortal Lord Linglong. ”What does the Immortal Lord think?”

Immortal Lord Linglong looked at Qin Jiang. She naturally didn’t believe that Qin Jiang hadn’t deduced the cause and effect of the situation.

The methods of an Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign were already beyond comprehension.

But since he knew and still said such a thing, did he really intend to destroy a Holy Land?

”As the Heavenly Sovereign wishes. It is merely a Holy Land that has never produced an Immortal King; if it’s destroyed, then so be it,” she said with a smile.

Sun Xingzhe, standing behind Qin Jiang, was stunned. What was going on? Weren’t they going to ask for rain? How did it turn into destroying a Holy Land?

That was the Qingyun Holy Land! The pinnacle of the current world’s Sword Dao! That Holy Master Qingyun was known as the number one person in the Sword Dao for a million years!

And they were just going to wipe them out?

His eyes darted around, and he suddenly realized that his understanding of Dao Land-level powers like the Exquisite Dao Land was still far too shallow.

After Immortal Lord Linglong finished speaking, Qin Jiang nodded slightly. ”In that case, Xingzhe and I shall depart.”

With a sweep of his palm, he carried Sun Xingzhe away.

After they left, the lecture continued. Ethereal immortal music echoed, golden lotuses surged from the ground, and auspicious signs descended from the heavens.

In the clouds, Qin Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, while Sun Xingzhe leaned on his staff, appearing somewhat constrained.

It couldn’t be helped. When they left the Exquisite Dao Land, Immortal Lord Linglong had sent him a voice transmission, informing him that Qin Jiang was already an invincible Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign in this world.

He didn’t know how powerful an Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign was, but he knew how strong the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign was. And Immortal Lord Linglong, known as the Dao Sovereign, was the world’s number one person, even a step stronger than the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

But now, this number one person—the former number one person—had personally admitted that the elegant and refined Qin Jiang before him was the invincible one of this era.

For a moment, he felt his mind was in a mess.

”I have no interest in being the world’s number one or invincible. After we arrive at the Qingyun Holy Land, you should still call me Immortal Lord,” Qin Jiang said.

Sun Xingzhe’s heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t expected that even though his Realm was nearing that of a Middle Stage True Immortal, someone could still read his thoughts.

”Rest assured, Immortal Lord Qin. Old Sun understands.”

Qin Jiang nodded slightly. The scenery beneath his feet shifted, and in a single breath, they had already arrived atop a mountain Peak.

At the summit, an ancient sword monument stood tall, releasing a Sword Qi that pierced the heavens.

A figure stood atop the sword monument, cupping his hands slightly toward the sky. ”Li Qing of the Qingyun Holy Land welcomes the Immortal Lord’s arrival.”

Qin Jiang lowered his gaze. The figure on the sword monument wore green robes and carried a Qingping Sword on his back. His sharp Sword Intent could be clearly felt even with the sword sheathed.

”Holy Master Qingyun is too polite. Where are my Elder Sister and the others?”

”They are currently in the hall drinking tea. It is Qingyun Tea I made myself; it uses the Law of Sword Dao to cleanse the Physical Body and is of great benefit to those at or below the Initial Stage True Immortal level,” Li Qing said with a smile.

On this Eastern Journey, who didn’t know what the four members of the team meant to the Emperor Ancestor Dynasty and the Exquisite Dao Land?

He didn’t know what kind of peerless and elegant figure could forcibly insert two people, turning the team of four into six.

But he knew that this was definitely someone he couldn’t afford to offend.

”I have troubled the Holy Master, then.”

”The Immortal Lord is too polite.”

Walking into the hall, Qin Hong and the others were sitting there, looking somewhat bored.

Qin Jiang looked over; at this time, Qin Hong’s strength had reached the level of an eighth-rank Divine Warrior.

It had to be said that with the support of the Heart of Fearlessness, as long as there were enough resources, Qin Hong’s strength would enter a period of explosive growth. She would Face no Bottlenecks before reaching the Peak of True God.

As for Xiaobai, she was slightly behind, currently only a sixth-rank Divine Warrior. However, her Foundation was extremely solid; at least those Heaven And Earth Treasures she ate like common cabbages hadn’t gone to waste.

Tang Sanzang had already become a True God, while Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing showed no significant changes.

However, at this point, Qin Jiang could already see the reason why Sha Wujing’s true spirit was incomplete.

The so-called incomplete true spirit was actually an artificially created illusion. His true original form was actually sealed by a top-tier Acquired array pattern called the ’Nine Seals Forbidden Law’.

This sealed Sha Wujing’s original Saint Lord Level strength down to its current level.

The forbidden Law carried the aura of Immortal Lord Linglong. Clearly, this was one of her schemes.

He had no intention of exposing it. Whatever she planned to do had nothing to do with him; from the beginning, he was not part of the game.

Now, although he had entered the game, he acted entirely according to his own will. No one could stop him from doing—or not doing—anything.

”Qin Jiang, you’re here!”

Seeing Qin Jiang walk in, Xiaobai waved excitedly, stuffed half a ginseng root into her mouth, and jumped down from her chair.
