Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2438: Chapter 1104: Zixi

There was a figure, an extraordinarily beautiful woman, who had shed her juvenile features. Like an epiphyllum in bloom, a bright moon casting a cold and misty glow, she exuded a compelling and awe-inspiring beauty.

In the eyes of most cultivators of the upper echelons, beauty is easily attainable and not worth mentioning.

In the world, there are innumerable things more valuable than beauty.

Cultivation, Taoist skills, fame and wealth, power, status... all are more mesmerizing than mere looks.

But that’s because people have never truly seen beauty.

A genuine beauty, possessing a purity that transcends reason, enough to crush the defenses of one’s heart, devour one’s soul, and capture the spirit.

Just one glance, and one’s mind would completely succumb.

Even making one feel an overwhelming sense of inferiority.

Inside the grand hall, numerous sect leaders and elders with profound cultivation exchanged glances, their eyes revealing shock.

Their cultivation was deep, yet even at this sudden moment, their hearts couldn’t help but skip a beat.

Men were thus.

Women even more so.

It was a feeling, seemingly an instinct from their bloodline, impossible to resist.

Duanmu Qing gazed at that figure, with skin like ice and bones like jade, graceful as a deity, as beautiful as the bright moon, feeling both deep longing and a fear of loss, desires pure as fine wine, filling every drop of her blood, coursing through her entire body along her veins.

She couldn’t help but think, for such a divine beauty, even just a night of tenderness, no, even just a kiss, or even just a glance at herself, she would be willing to die for her in this life.

Such an intense longing, such intense desire, nearly pushed her Taoist Heart to the brink of self-destruction.

Not just Duanmu Qing, but even Elder Gu Hong at the Feather Transformation Realm, was momentarily taken aback.

She could also vaguely feel a stir in her bloodline.

As if for the sake of this unparalleled beauty, she was willing to do anything.

Elder Gu Hong quickly bit her tongue, steadying her mind, and tried her best to avert her gaze, no longer daring to look at that profoundly beautiful figure.

At the same time, her heart was full of shock.

”Is this... bloodline?!”

”How can this bloodline have such a powerful charisma, even able to forcibly attract my desires as a Feathered Immortal across two great realms?”

”And... such appearance... it’s simply too stunning.”

Elder Gu Hong was a well-known matchmaker in the Qianxue State Boundary; she has seen beautiful women of all kinds in her life, curvy and slender, eloquent and graceful, of striking beauty, countless indeed, yet she had never seen such an astonishing beauty.

This was an absolute and oppressive beauty.

Not allowing any reaction, almost just a single glance, and in an instant, it would break down others’ mental defenses and destroy their reason.

Especially for women who love beauty, it was almost fatal.

Elder Gu Hong was stunned for a moment, suddenly realizing an even more surprising fact:

Only now did she realize, the goddess-like girl had a snowy veil on her face, she hadn’t truly seen her appearance, and yet her heart was already captivated.

Then how beautiful must her real face be?

Elder Gu Hong wanted to take another look but didn’t quite dare to turn her head.

Within the hall, after a moment of silence, sounds gradually returned.

The cultivators present, all held high positions with profound cultivation; even if momentarily distracted, they would not be too disrespectful.

Moreover, the girl’s identity could roughly be deduced from the group of Taoist Court dignitaries around her.

”Ancestral Dragon Land of Qian State, a magnificent Sixth grade clan... the Bai Family.”

With stars like the moon, astonishingly beautiful, with an awe-inspiring bloodline, and an inherent majestic aura, it was almost certain she was a direct lineage daughter of the Bai Family.

Moreover, possibly the direct lineage among the direct lineage.

An extremely powerful bloodline, exceedingly beautiful appearance, exceptionally high talent, coupled with the core lineage of a flourishing Sixth grade family.

Having two or three of these traits alone would be notable.

And having them all combined in one person could be described as terrifying.

The vast majority of sect leaders, family heads, and elders, observed with noses aligned and minds steadfast, restrained and guarded, never looking more than a glance.

Within the crowd, only the Taixu Sect Master frowned with a soft sigh.

Then the meeting proceeded, Central Dao Court’s various Feathered Immortal Cultivators, along with several Supervisors from the Seven Pavilions, began addressing accountability to each sect and aristocratic family in the Qianxue State Boundary according to the Taoist Court’s decrees and the Tianquan Pavilion’s righteous assessment procedures.

The Taoist Court’s wording was severe, requiring each family in Qianxue to sacrifice a substantial portion of their interests.

Seven percent of Qianlong Spirit Mine’s rights were allocated to the Central Dao Court.

Subsequently, any naming or renaming of sects in Qianxue State must not contain words like ”Heaven, Dao, Qian, Firmament, and Sky”.

Finally, a dignified Supervisor from the Heavenly Right Pavilion sternly rebuked Shen Linsu and three others:

”You, as Qianxue’s geniuses, knowingly violated the laws, breaching the Dao Court’s decrees, a crime unforgivable.”

”The Four Great Sects of Qianxue, ineffective in teaching, focusing only on the disciples’ cultivation, neglecting their character and discipline, resulting in such calamity, cannot escape the blame.”

”However...”

He paused slightly, then continued: ”Considering your youth and this being your first offense, there are reasons for leniency.”

”To prevent you four from continuing down the wrong path, you must be sent to the Central Dao Court to reform, to revere Heaven’s way, to understand human nature, to cleanse your hearts and minds, becoming righteous and talented, aiding the world.”

”This is the Taoist Court’s grace...”

After the Heavenly Right Pavilion Supervisor finished speaking, the high-level forces of Qianxue’s sects all frowned.

The words were majestic, but the core intention was extortion against the Qianxue State Boundary.”
