Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

Back then at the annual competition, Yun Xiao’s single sword strike that assassinated Bai Wushuang, the number one genius of the Heavenly Hospital at the time, indeed shocked countless elders of the Heavenly Hospital.

Furthermore, the second genius of the Heavenly Hospital, Liu Qingchen, had an arm crippled by Yun Xiao. It could be said that since that annual competition, the Heavenly Hospital has been embarrassed by the lack of new talents among the younger generation.

In this situation, many elders of the Heavenly Hospital, like Qiu Xian, harbored resentment towards Yun Xiao, even if Bai Wushuang and Liu Qingchen were to blame for their mistakes. Ever since, the Heavenly Hospital found it hard to hold its head high in front of the Sky Poison Institute.

Moreover, aside from the veteran genius Ye Ku, the Sky Poison Institute saw a powerful rise of another genius with the Poison Vein, Liu Hanyi, which further unsettled the people at the Heavenly Hospital, deepening their resentment towards Yun Xiao.

Fortunately, not long after, Mo Qing demonstrated a Meridian Refining Talent comparable to Liu Hanyi’s; her Meridian Qi cultivation was advancing rapidly, directly breaking through to the late stage of the Earth Bending Realm in just over a year.

Such cultivation speed is unheard of among the elders of the Heavenly Hospital. They were unaware that this talented young girl possesses the Pure Yang Immortal Body, rarely seen even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, with a Fire Attribute cultivation that could rival some powerful Fire Attribute vein demons.

Due to the heaven-defying rise of Mo Qing and Liu Hanyi, the reputation of ”Healing and Poisoning Twin Beauties” at Lianyun Mountain grew increasingly prominent, surpassing the super talents of the four great factions, including Ye Ku.

Originally, Elder Qiu Xian, who was at the peak of the Earth Bending Realm, could vaguely suppress Mo Qing. But at this moment, sensing the breakthrough aura within the hall, he knew it wouldn’t be long before he’d be overtaken by this ridiculously young talented girl.

Crack!

A moment later, the hall door emitted a piercing sound, then fully opened. Out walked a graceful figure in a black dress, none other than Mo Qing, who had just completed her breakthrough.

”Oh? Elder Qiu Xian, why are you here?”

Mo Qing, stepping out of the hall, showed no particular excitement from her breakthrough, but instead stared puzzled at the Fourth Elder before her, questioning him.

Mo Qing knew that at the current Earth Desolate City, alien spirits were aggressively besieging, with fierce battles almost daily, countless human cultivators dying on the wall, not knowing when the city might be breached.

So, why wasn’t Qiu Xian busy at the East City Gate right now? How did he have time to wait here for her breakthrough? Her gaze shifted to the letter in Qiu Xian’s hand.

”Oh, there’s some news. I thought you should know!”

Being asked, Qiu Xian quickly snapped back to reality, handing over the letter and saying, ”Gushan City’s great victory, led by none other than Yun Xiao, who, like you, hails from the Hidden Dragon Continent!”

At the last sentence, Qiu Xian paused slightly, once again marveling at how these folks from the Hidden Dragon Continent are all such prodigies.

In Qiu Xian’s original view, the Hidden Dragon Continent is merely a low-level plane, where neither the richness of Heaven and Earth energy nor the cultivation skills and meridian techniques can compare to those of the Tenglong Continent.

Yet, every single one of these young ones from the Tenglong Continent, not to mention the heaven-defying demon Yun Xiao, whether Liu Hanyi, Mo Qing, or even the newly risen ”One-shot Saint Son” Ling Wan from Xuanyin Hall, have far surpassed the older generation of top-tier talents on the Tenglong Continent.

The strength of these individuals even closely rivals the high-level veteran powerhouses like Qiu Xian, and at this moment, Qiu Xian feels a blazing pressure emanating from Mo Qing.

Keep in mind, Qiu Xian is an advanced Earth rank Meridian Refining Master, also possessing a Fire Attribute Ancestor vein. But across from him, the black-clad maiden’s fire attribute radiates like a fire emperor, compelling submission.

From this sensation, Qiu Xian realizes that if it were a direct confrontation, he may not be a match for this newly advanced early-stage Earth Bending Realm maiden.

”He truly didn’t let me down!”

While Qiu Xian is lost in his thoughts again, Mo Qing, glancing rapidly at the words on the letter, can’t help but smile, murmuring softly.

Since Yun Xiao left Lianyun Mountain, nearly two years have passed. Initially, for half a year, Mo Qing occasionally heard news about Yun Xiao.

Whether the journey to Xuanyin Hall or the incident at Yanji Lake, Yun Xiao was always the most dazzling one, making Mo Qing excited for days whenever she received such information.

But for the past half year, there’s been no news of Yun Xiao. Although Mo Qing knew from her teacher Qian Sanyuan that Yun Xiao was at Demons Mountain, this only made her feel melancholic.

After all, Mo Qing already knew about the former marriage agreement between Yun Xiao and Xu Hongzhuang from the Hidden Dragon Continent, who seemed to be the unrivaled genius of Demons Mountain now, even having the nickname ”Red-dressed Immortal.”

Women are apt to overthink, especially someone like Mo Qing who holds feelings for Yun Xiao. So, over the past half year, she has cultivated diligently, finally allowing her Pure Yang Immortal Body to fully unleash, reaching her current level.

”Now, he should still be with Xu Hongzhuang, right?”

Mo Qing didn’t say these words out loud, but the next moment, she took a deep breath, then turned her gaze to the eastern horizon, where from the sky there seemed to faintly come the sound of battle cries.

”Elder Qiu Xian, open the city gates, I have something I must do!”

Having made up her mind, Mo Qing strode towards the East City. When her voice reverberated, Qiu Xian was first taken aback, then seemed to vaguely understand something.

”What he can accomplish, I can certainly accomplish too!”

Mo Qing’s second sentence made Qiu Xian instantly certain of his suspicions, as information from Gushan City detailed how that great victory was achieved.

Clearly, Mo Qing was planning to imitate this strategy, which might also be the only way to relieve Earth Desolate City’s crisis. Therefore, after a brief pondering, Qiu Xian did not dissent but quickly followed up.

Earth Desolate City was already on the brink of collapse, with a vast number of strange spirits climbing the city walls daily, causing many human cultivators to perish, though they were quickly repelled, leaving the possibility of the city falling only a matter of time.

The saying goes that a long-held position must eventually fall. The army of strange spirits was endlessly replenished, while the human side’s forces were insufficiently reinforced. Once the city fell, the cultivators inside, unless they broke through one of the other three gates, would likely die at the hands of the strange spirits.

Elder Qiu Xian of Lianyun Mountain was not one to tarry; once he’d made up his mind, he summoned many powerful practitioners within the city at or above the Earth Bending Realm.

It seemed that Qiu Xian had the same idea as Feng Qiyun of Ding’an City, intending to use these human experts at the Earth Bending Realm to escort Mo Qing closer to the strange spirit leader.

Initially, because the human side suddenly charged out of the city, it caught the strange spirits off guard.

The human Earth Bending Realm experts made a direct assault, advancing hundreds of meters, getting close enough to faintly see the strange spirit leader surrounded by many ninth-order strange spirits.

But after these arduous few hundred meters, when Qiu Xian and others saw the ninth-rank advanced strange spirit leader bathed in flames, they couldn’t help but gasping in shock.

”Fire Attribute Strange Spirit Leader!”

Those present were all knowledgeable; sensing the terrifyingly scorching aura from the fiery strange spirit, their hearts were gripped with fear. Such a strange spirit likely possessed exceptionally powerful attack capabilities.

Among the Five Elements, the Fire Attribute boasted the highest attack power, with attacks possessing a powerful incineration force. If an ordinary human cultivator was struck with it, they’d suffer severe damage and likely be reduced to ashes.

”Hey, what a coincidence!”

At the forefront, Mo Qing, after blasting a ninth-rank intermediate strange spirit to death, displayed not a trace of hesitation but instead a touch of excitement.

If the strange spirit leader had been of Earth or Gold Attribute, Mo Qing would have had a harder time. But with a Fire Attribute, she shared the same origin.

The Pure Yang Immortal Body is considered one of the most formidable and unique fire attribute physiques on the Continent, unprecedented even in the Nine-layered Dragon Cloud, and is the key to Mo Qing achieving such heights at her age.

According to Golden Snake Worm Xiao Wu, if Mo Qing ever reached the Li Yuan Realm and found certain fire attribute Divine Artifacts, her Pure Yang Immortal Body would evolve once more, becoming the supreme Pure Yang Divine Body of the Li Yuan Realm.

Rumors say that the hall master of the Fierce Sun Palace, one of Li Yuan Realm’s three great sovereigns, possesses the legendary Pure Yang Divine Body.

With this incomparable body, the hall master of the Fierce Sun Palace is able to dominate over the other two great forces’ sovereigns, with none daring to provoke him lightly.

At least, outside the major planes of the Li Yuan Realm, or aside from some Heaven Rank powerful vein demons with fire attributes, none could surpass Mo Qing in fire attributes.

In terms of pure fire attribute competition, even Yun Xiao’s Ancestor Vein Fire lags slightly; Mo Qing’s Pure Yang Immortal Fire may soon dazzle with its brilliance.

Thus, discovering a fire attribute strange spirit leader made Mo Qing delighted instead of fearful, for she knew that in such a same-attribute confrontation, the opponent’s fire attribute power was significantly less threatening, while her Pure Yang Immortal Fire could truly shine.

Amid the gazes of many strange spirits and human cultivators, Mo Qing didn’t waste time, directly utilizing her movement technique, charging towards the strange spirit leader.

She knew this was an opportunity that Elder Qiu Xian and others painstakingly created for her. If she missed this chance, it wouldn’t be as easy to get close next time.
