Chapter 541: Chapter 233: Lu Yi’s Obsession, Power of Heart
“Hmm, back then, Qingqiu Hua had the idea of bringing Lu Yi back to the Qingqiu Clan, but unfortunately, with his wit and resourcefulness, he managed to escape,” Lu Yi overheard Qingqiu Hua’s voice, which was soft and cheerful with a special charm.
“My kid does have talent, otherwise he couldn’t have become such a strong figure now,” Wang Siqi’s voice rang out with a hint of pride.
Lu Yi shook his head covered in black lines and walked in, only to see Qingqiu Hua and Wang Siqi sitting together chatting, with an extremely beautiful woman beside Qingqiu Hua.
Seeing this woman, Lu Yi’s pupils contracted slightly; he had met her before.
Her name was Qingqiu Yunhua, a Void Immortal of the Qingqiu Clan, and her strength was formidable. When Lu Yi, the Old Master of Divine Sword Sect, and the Long Yin Ancestor went to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range of the Qingqiu Clan, this Void Immortal had already slain two Jiuyou Immortal Beasts at the Void Immortal Level.
At that time, it had given Lu Yi quite a shock.
Now, Qingqiu Yunhua’s face was composed as she sat beside Master Wu Qingfeng and several high-ranking members of the White Cloud Sect.
Perhaps because they were sitting next to a figure of Void Immortal Level, Master Wu Qingfeng and the senior members of the White Cloud Sect all looked noticeably uneasy.
Lu Yi glanced around and noticed Old Lu was not there, probably hadn’t come, so only his mother had come.
As Lu Yi entered, Qingqiu Yunhua looked over, her gorgeous face warmed with a gentle smile and nodded, “Lu Yi, it’s been a while since we last met.”
Lu Yi also smiled, “Elder Qingqiu Yunhua, long time no see.”
“Hehe, for cultivators of our Realm, a few years is but a flick of a finger,” she said.
Lu Yi agreed with a smile, “Senior’s words are true.”
Seeing Lu Yi approach, Wang Siqi waved at him with a smile and said, “Yi’er, Ningshuang, you’re all here; come over.”
Lu Yi glanced at the beaming Qingqiu Hua, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at Liu Ningshuang and the others, noting the slight darkening of their expressions.
Reluctantly, Lu Yi walked over and asked, “Mom, how come you’re here?”
Wang Siqi chuckled and replied, “I heard Hua’er was coming, so I wanted to come and see. She’s been telling me about your past relationships.”
We don’t have any damn past relationships…
Lu Yi faced Qingqiu Hua with a full head of black lines and said, “Immortal Qingqiu, long time no see, you shouldn’t jest about such things.”
Qingqiu Hua chuckled and said, “Do you think I’m joking, Lu Yi? That really hurts my feelings.”
Lu Yi looked at Qingqiu Hua and was at a loss for words, unsure of her intentions.
Not wanting to ponder it further, he said, “Immortal Qingqiu, are you here to fulfill the centennial agreement?”
Lu Yi was rather impatient already. Defeating Qingqiu Hua would not only bring him new task rewards, but it also held great significance for him.
Back then, Qingqiu Hua was the only one who had caused Lu Yi to flee like that. In the East Forest Ruins, Lu Yi was completely no match for Qingqiu Hua.
If it weren’t for her just having absorbed the power of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor and being unable to control it, Lu Yi might have been taken away by her then and there, perhaps even compelled to marry into her clan according to her whims.
Now things were different, Lu Yi’s strength had increased immeasurably since then; even facing Qingqiu Hua, he would not be the least bit afraid.
Seeing Lu Yi’s serious demeanor, Qingqiu Hua smiled seductively and stood up, her pretty face turning serious as she nodded, “The matter of the East Forest Ruins has undoubtedly left an obsession in both our hearts. Today, let’s battle and see who is the stronger one.”
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow and nodded, “Alright.”
Qingqiu Yunhua glanced at Qingqiu Hua and then at Lu Yi, saying, “Let’s keep it to light touches; this is a friendly spar.”
Lu Yi chuckled and responded, “Senior, rest assured, I will not harm Immortal Qingqiu.”
Qingqiu Hua’s eyes flashed with a touch of defiance, and she laughed lightly, “I’ve heard of your astonishing battle feats recently, but that doesn’t mean I’m not a match for you.”
Master Wu Qingfeng smiled and played peacemaker, “Well then, let’s head outside.”
The Qingqiu Clan was an extremely powerful Immortal Sect Holy Land, and Wu Qingfeng did not want any trouble.
The group left the main hall and took to the skies.
Even Wang Siqi followed with a hint of curiosity.
Wang Siqi was not weak in terms of strength herself; over the years, Lu Yi had continuously provided her and Old Lu with resources, all of which were extremely rare and potent, enhancing their comprehension and talent. Now, both of them had become Acquired Spiritual Bodies, their Cultivation Base reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, and they were not far from the Cave Void Realm.
Lu Yi and Qingqiu Hua quickly ascended to a great height.
Both of them extremely strong, fighting too close to the ground could result in too much destruction.
The other Cultivators kept their distance from both Lu Yi and Qingqiu Hua, not wanting to get too close.
Lu Yi and Qingqiu Hua faced each other, Lu Yi’s expression calm, he chuckled, “Immortal Qingqiu, the events in the East Forest Ruins have stayed with me. I was even worried you might come to the Eastern Domain to trouble me; the pressure wasn’t small at the time.”
Honestly, after returning from the East Forest Ruins, Lu Yi did feel significant pressure for a while, given the Qingqiu Clan’s immense power and his own concerns.
However, the pressure during that period only spurred Lu Yi to cultivate even harder.
Qingqiu Hua smiled faintly, the Gang Wind in the sky brushed through her black hair, and a slight smile emerged on her pure yet charming face, “I’ve always kept the incident of that year in my heart. Today’s battle can be considered a continuation of the past.”
Lu Yi’s eyes shimmered, as he said, “Heh, I am no longer the young man at the Foundation Establishment Realm from back then.”
“Then let me see if you are truly as strong as you claim!” Qingqiu Hua smiled.
The next moment, both of them erupted with Spiritual Energy, terrifying glows flickered as if two suns had appeared out of thin air in the sky.
Spiritual Pressure turned into wild winds, spreading in all directions, and the surrounding sky was soon filled with terrifying storms that rapidly expanded, soon covering the entire Qingzhou.
All cultivators in Qingzhou sensed the two immensely powerful auras burst forth; they all looked up, astonished at the two extra suns in the sky.
Not just Qingzhou, but powerful cultivators from other regions also sensed it and looked towards Qingzhou.
“Such a powerful aura!”
“Is it a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner? No… this aura, it surpassed a Tribulation Crossing Practitioner, right? Could it be a Void Immortal??”
“The beast tide passed not long ago, another Void Immortal has emerged?”
“Wait, the century-long battle between Lu Yi and Young Master Qingqiu is here, could this be their agreed fight?”
Many cultivators thought of something, their expressions changed, and a large number of powerful beings turned into streaks of light, rushing towards Qingzhou.
Even the Old Master of the Divine Sword Sect and Long Yin Ancestor looked over from the deepest parts of their sects.
Beneath the explosive auras of Lu Yi and Qingqiu Hua, the cultivators below felt their chests tighten with a heavy force pressing down, and the faces of the weaker cultivators turned extremely pale.
Wang Siqi had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, yet she still felt oppressed in her chest. Looking at the two suns in the sky, she found herself struggling to keep her eyes open and her face changed slightly, “This kid… he is so powerful now?”
Liu Ningshuang, Jian Ruyu, and Yun Xi stood before Wang Siqi, blocking all the Spiritual Pressure, making her look much better.
Liu Ningshuang chuckled, “Our junior brother’s strength has reached the Void Immortal Level, naturally, it is extraordinary.”
Wang Siqi nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to the other sphere of light, exclaiming, “Hua’er truly lives up to her status as the Young Master of the Qingqiu Clan; she’s also so powerful.”
The smiles on the faces of Liu Ningshuang, Jian Ruyu, and Yun Xi stiffened for a moment; they exchanged glances and looked at Qingqiu Hua with even more hostility.
Qingqiu Hua was surrounded by a halo of light, and with a wave of her hand, streaks of light transformed into endless brilliance sweeping towards Lu Yi. Wherever the light passed, space twisted and pulsed, the winds roared, and the ground below shuddered.
Lu Yi glanced at the aura surrounding Qingqiu Hua and realized that the Tao she cultivated was not one that he had mastered but a Tao unknown to him.
And what surprised Lu Yi was that the aura of this Tao had reached the Law Level.
However, to Lu Yi, this was not a threat.
Lu Yi smiled faintly as the Sword Tao Law circulated. Even without using his full strength, he could weaken the streams of light, for within the Sword Tao Law, all other Taos of the world were excluded, and even if the light was the Power of Laws, it would be weakened.
As the light grew weaker, Lu Yi conjured sword lights easily shattering all the streams of brilliance.
Seeing this scene, Qingqiu Yunhua’s pupils contracted slightly, shock written on her face, “Hua’s Charming Law has reached 10%. Yet, it’s weakened to such an extent? Young friend Lu Yi’s Sword Tao Law… at least 30%, unbelievable.”
One must realize, Lu Yi is only at the Mahayana Realm! And he already possesses 30% of the Sword Tao Law, which is absolutely shocking.
Qingqiu Hua, having absorbed the power of the Nine-tailed Demon Emperor, was extraordinarily talented, even undergoing a Transformation into the Immortal Fox Bloodline, now at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, had mastered only 10% of the Power of Laws.
This was a stark contrast.
Here, aside from Qingqiu Yunhua, Liu Ningshuang, Jian Ruyu, and Yun Xi also possessed such insight. All three were Immortal Bodies, and after their Cultivation Base broke through to the Mahayana Realm, they gradually began to master the Power of Laws.
However, after advancing to the Law Level, their Power of Laws increased very slowly, and none had reached 10% yet.
The three of them showed no surprise at Lu Yi’s strength; it seemed only natural to them.
In the sky, Qingqiu Hua saw her own Power of Laws destroyed so easily and her pupils narrowed. She looked deeply at Lu Yi and spoke, “I heard you have mastered the Space Law. I didn’t expect your Sword Tao Law to be so powerful as well.”
Lu Yi laughed, “You flatter me, Immortal Qingqiu. If that’s all the strength you have, then I’m afraid you will have a hard time threatening me.”
Qingqiu Hua bit her lip and then her lovely face revealed a charming smile, “Since that’s the case, I must go all out.”
Her aura soared tremendously, her ears turned into fluffy white fox ears, and behind her, nine fluffy white tails sprouted.
At this moment, every frown and smile of Qingqiu Hua was filled with an indescribable charm, involuntarily captivating one’s mind and soul.
Even Lu Yi was momentarily transfixed, but he soon regained clarity.
This power… it touched the Power of Heart.
Lu Yi was internally shocked.
