Chapter 173: The Fifth Seizure of Nine Heavenly Seizure Record (1)
The Feng Shen Sea was vast and mighty.
The twelve roaring waterspouts whirled fiercely in the boundless sea, with their irresistible force striking the cultivator in indigo. At that moment, it was much darker beneath the canopy of black clouds. Were those twelve waterspouts horrible and perilous enough?
Not really!
It was the sharp astral wind surrounding the waterspouts that brought about the mortal danger!
Luo Jianqing was almost exhausted, with only a trickle of spiritual power flowing within his body. He waved his sword, splitting towards the waterspouts, while flying backwards, leveraging the power of the crush. However, the expanse of the Feng Shen Sea drove him desperate. Even if he continuously used the skills in Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, he spent more spiritual power than he absorbed.
It was not once-for-all desperation. Instead, Luo Jianqing had to feel the lengthy desperation in which he was cornered step by step.
The Feng Shen Sea had long been the most dangerous place in the Northern Land of Arctic before the unveiling of the Ku Mountain. The decennial astral storm exactly originated from here. No sane cultivators would come here to cast away his life. Moreover, Luo Jianqing had just reached the late stage of Out-of-Body!
The astral wind wouldn’t kill him fast. Instead, it would greedily deplete his spiritual power. By the time his power ran out, he was doomed! In the midst of this boundless sea, Luo Jianqing had no chance to escape!
“I must get out of here!”
With red eyes, Luo Jianqing smacked his elixir field and spitted a mouthful of blood. As the golden blood fell, an indigo lotus gracefully flew out of his body and swayed in an enchanting manner above the turbulent sea.
As the lotus came out, those twelve waterspouts retracted a little bit. The small lotus was dwarfed in front of the powerful and giant waterspouts. However, its five petals that opened gradually were giving out overwhelming pressure.
Luo Jianqing wiped the blood off his lips and held the lotus on his hands, flying back quickly.
An Out-of-Body cultivator should have the ability to pull his primordial life out of his body!
It was Luo Jianqing’s first time to pull out his primordial life since he had reached Out-of-Body; his primordial life embodied his most refined power and the remaining power at this moment, which he used to draw a thick ward as a shield against the waterspouts so that he could keep running.
The waterspouts suddenly roared!
They gradually recovered from the pressure and stared at that lotus vigilantly. The waterspouts seemed to be a little hesitant, but they still pursued Luo Jianqing relentlessly, giving him no time to loosen up.
Then, a strange scene appeared above the vast Feng Sheng Sea: A handsome cultivator in indigo was flying backwards with a pale face and blood-stained clothes, and a delicate, shining lotus was floating over his palm, while in front of him, twelve towering and powerful waterspouts were chasing after him yet not getting any closer!
The lotus whirled increasingly slowly, but he had no more pills or instruments with him. He even chose to pull out his primordial life, so no matter he died or survived, his primordial life would definitely be hurt, without any other options left for him after all.
Would he die here?
Hell no! He hadn’t told others that he master was trapped in the Ku Mountain!
He had to go for him, he had to!
With that unwavering determination, the indigo lotus shed its rays in all directions. Seeing that, Luo Jianqing dripped a drop of spiritual blood on it. The lotus blossomed even more gracefully, while Luo Jianqing’s face turned paler.
Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, First Seizure, Seizing the Plants and Seasons! Second Seizure, Seizing Lives! Third Seizure, Seizing Right and Wrong! Fourth Seizure, Seizing Karma!
Four layers of great brilliancy extended from the lotus.
What was the Fifth Seizure?
“Why were you born? And why will you die?”
“Death comes with birth, and rebirth comes after death.”
“What are you obsessed with? What are you dying for?”
Luo Jianqing’s beautiful face was covered with blood, but his eyes were still clear, in which were the reflections of the twelve waterspouts, the delicate indigo lotus, the mighty sea as well as the boundless sky.
The voice rang a bell, which was totally different from what it used to be without any feelings.
Time was almost frozen at the time. Luo Jianqing could feel the drips spattering on his face, and they slowly form a nice curve in the air. He recognized the voice; it was Qing Jun. His gentle, elegant voice rang in Luo Jianqing’s mind. He didn’t know whether it was real Qing Jun, nor did he know why Qing Jun was talking to him. He couldn’t afford any distraction by these minor questions!
Luo Jianqing cleared his mind, and he became so determined like never before.
“What are you obsessed with? What are you dying for?”
“Because I have to survive! I must save him!”
After long defense, the waterspouts finally rushed towards him. The lotus suddenly came out in all its splendor and repelled the waterspouts easily. However, the waterspouts had regained their boldness and began to attack thick and fast.
Luo Jianqing was not sure whether that man was Qing Jun or not, but he heard a profound sigh from that man, “You haven’t found the correct path, and you haven’t perceived the nature. Your birth and death are not only about YOU, and thus, to save one’s life is not only about saving HIM.”
Luo Jianqing’s eyes got red and he shouted subconsciously, “Sir Qing Jun!”
“My descendent of Yu Xiao Peak, I shall do you a favor by endowing you the Fifth Seizure of Nine Heavenly Seizure Record.”
“Where there are births, there are deaths.”
“The Fifth of Seizure of Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, Seizing of Birth and Death!”
“Seizing of Birth and Death!”
Boom!
Great power sprang up from the little lotus over Luo Jianqing’s palm. That power was as towering as oceans and mountains, as vast as the sky and the earth. As the tremendous power spread and attacked those waterspouts, it compressed the air and exploded on the twelve waterspouts!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The fierce and brutal waterspouts exploded one after another, forming huge water sprays in the sky.
The extremely cold water splashed on Luo Jianqing’s face and fell on the whirling lotus. A new, exquisite lotus took into shape as Luo Jianqing used the Blossom Lotus Sword of Seizing Birth and Death. The power of this lotus was far beyond the previous one, and it easily exterminated the twelve waterspouts.
Seeing that, Luo Jianqing was baffled but more exhausted. He seemed to notice something different, but he couldn’t think anymore. Suddenly, he collapsed.
The strong and handsome cultivator fell into the sea, flowing with waves. The lotus had come back to his elixir field, leaving an indigo ward to protect him from the remaining astral wind.
Currently, Luo Jianqing’s breath was very weak. Some more powerful wind was not interested in him, yet weaker wind couldn’t hurt him. In the case, Luo Jianqing just kept flowing on the sea with the shield of the ward.
Half a day later, a Fiend Cultivator in red came and pulled Luo Jianqing out of the sea.
Mo Qiu’s face looked grave. He put his left arm around Luo jianqing’s waist and used his right hand to pressed Luo Jianqing’s major acupoints quickly. In the end, he tapped Luo Jianqing’s glabella with his fingers. The indigo pattern on Luo Jianqing’s forehead started to burn, seeming to burn Mo Qiu’s fingers, but he didn’t take it seriously and continued pressing.
“Luo Jianqing, you are still alive. What a lucky guy!”
The blood ward shielded both and took them out of the Feng Shen Sea. As Mo Qiu showed up, the astral wind began to crazily attack him, yet all of them were blocked by Mo Qiu’s little blood bell. Although he had to carry Luo Jianqing, who was seriously wounded, he didn’t intend to stop to help him heal.
No one would try to help a wounded man heal in the middle of the Feng Sheng Sea.
That was courting death!
