Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 303 - 57 Minor Conflict

What is Divine Capital?

The retirement capital city?

No, before that—it is first and foremost the private domain of the Ancient Method Practitioners!

Teaching Ancient Method defense class in Divine Capital is like teaching a defense class against black magic among a group of Death Eaters in Azkaban; it doesn't need Voldemort's curse for the class to be interrupted.

"Who are you?" Seeing someone provoking him, Hou Benli immediately perked up, ready to discipline this Cultivator from Divine Capital who didn't know the vastness of the sky. But soon, his momentum deflated.

The person who greeted the three men was a young man in a white robe and gown. He held a folding fan in his hand, smiling with a devilish grin, "This young brother must be a distinguished student from Tianling Ridge, to be so well-versed in Ancient Method countermeasures. I've taken an eager interest, and I hope you won't skimp on teaching me—if I could learn a skill or two from you, it would give me some self-preservation strength against the evil god Cultivators and practitioners of the Murder Demon Path."

The man spoke politely, but his aura was anything but. The heavy spiritual pressure he exuded turned out to be from an early-stage cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

A master of the Foundation Establishment Stage! Unapproachable! Ai Zhenwu immediately made a judgment and reprimanded with a tough exterior but timid heart, "Daoist Fellow, this is under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance..."

"Divine Capital under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance has its own rules," the distinguished young man in white said, cutting off any chance for the other to catch him in his words, and immediately took action. Several strands of Qi Force shot from his palm: some were rigid, some were flexible, some were bright, and some were dark. With energy within energy, they generated each other, united Yin Yang, inverted the Five Elements, and after completing a cycle of transformation, the Qi Force revolved again, compounding and changing. When the man in white made his move, the three were still a good distance away, but by the time the Qi Force reached them, Ai Zhenwu and Hou Benli felt like they were trapped in a maelstrom of shock waves coming at them from all eight directions, with no time to counter!

Zhen Chan reminded Wang Qi inside his mind, "This is the secret technique 'Continuous Clouds Concealing Sky' from the Ancient Method Piaoyun Sect—the Qi Force, once structured, immediately generates in pairs... here's the deficiency and breaking technique..."

"Damn it..." Hou Benli's face twisted as he tried to draw his sword, but his vision blurred and his body refused to obey under the immense pressure.

"That's enough..."

Suddenly, he felt all the pressure around him disappear as a figure stepped half a step forward, blocking in front of him and directly taking the blow. Hou Benli had some backbone, thinking he should bear the trouble he'd caused himself, and went around Wang Qi to counterattack. But Ai Zhenwu held him back, shaking his head.

Only then did Hou Benli realize that when Wang Qi took the hit head-on, his body didn't even tremble.

After Protective Gang Qi and Holy Light were used together, the inner strength of the Protective Gang Qi became more orderly, and the defensive power increased significantly. Meanwhile, the domineering attribute of the Holy Light, which directly absorbed the opponent's spell force, was still there—although not as "buggy" as inside the body. After taking the hit directly, Wang Qi said with a smile, "You didn't intend to take our lives, just to embarrass us, so I'm going to ask you to leave your face here."

Then, he raised his long sword. The Kun Mountain Sword was still sheathed and not drawn. Wang Qi chopped down with the sword still in its scabbard. Then, the long sword swayed in a way no one could understand, and the sea of Qi Force became chaotic and collapsed. Immediately after, Wang Qi's scabbard, carrying a massive force, slapped forcefully on the man's face. frёewebηovel.cѳm

This sword strike seemed unremarkable, but it was the fruit of Wang Qi's efforts over a month. First, having adapted to Shenzhou's theoretical system, he read through the Daoist of Uncertainty's manuscript again and indeed had new insights. The way the energy was transmitted in this sword strike had a hint of a "matrix" flavor. Secondly, every member of Tianling Ridge was a template for a Frenzy Fighter, possessing astonishing physical strength. Due to a fortuitous coincidence that led to the cultivation of Life Flame, Wang Qi's physical strength was even close to Ai Qinglan's capabilities.

What would be the outcome when such a sword technique was combined with such strength?

The once quite handsome face of the man in white burst into a myriad of peach blushes as his mouth spewed several chunks of broken jade—like a colorful fabric store had opened, with reds, blacks, and purples all bursting forth.

"There is only one reason you failed," Wang Qi said after using the Heavenly Entropy Technique to clean the scabbard and then extended a finger, pointing at Zijing, the now-disfigured man in white, saying with a stern face, "and that's because you were blocking my way to work."

Ai Zhenwu was indeed frightened, "Senior Brother Wang, you went too far!"

Wang Qi's expression changed as he suddenly remembered something and said to the man in white, "You faked your death, I'll deal with you in my own time!" With that, he hurriedly walked forward.

Ai Zhenwu grabbed Wang Qi, "Senior Brother, if you leave now, even if you're right, it'll look like you're wrong."

Wang Qi's face fell, "Crap, is the time already set over there?"

"How about this, since the monkey can't keep his mouth shut and stirred up trouble, I'll stay behind to explain things to the Law Enforcement Officer, and Monkey can take you to the place." Ai Zhenwu forced a smile, "Senior Brother, do you have anything on you to prove your identity?"

Wang Qi took off the Immortal Registration Token hanging from his waist, "This?"

"How can you give this away so easily?" Ai Zhenwu waved his hand dismissively, "Forget it, you're at least an Outer Disciple of Divine Capital, not completely undocumented. I'll stay to take care of things, you guys go."

Hou Benli said, "I can stay behind."

Ai Zhenwu snapped, "If you stay behind, an innocent man would be tied up for ten or eight years."

Hearing Ai Zhenwu's words, Hou Benli could only lead Wang Qi out of the city with his head down. Once they were out of the scrutinizing eyes of the public, Hou Benli said to Wang Qi, "Senior Brother Wang, thank you."

Wang Qi smiled, "No need. That idiot's attack included me too. Besides, if you were disabled, where would I find work? After all, I've only been here a month and haven't been out on the streets much; I'm unfamiliar with life here."

Seeing Wang Qi's nonchalant demeanor, Hou Benli sighed, "Really, Senior Brother, you keep your true talents well hidden. Although I've heard that Modern cultivators can chop Ancient Method Practitioners like cutting vegetables, it's still the first time I've seen someone at the Mid-Stage Qi Refining level kill someone at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment with a single sword!"

Hou Benli had been caught off guard just now; if it had been a fair fight, he might not have lost to that man in white. But to take him down with such an effortless sword move was something he couldn't do.

"I'm not particularly interested in sparring with my own people," Wang Qi said, which was the absolute truth. He preferred fighting Ancient Method Practitioners.

However, Hou Benli perceived it differently, giving a thumbs up, "Brother Wang, your realm is truly high."

"A high realm doesn't fill the belly," Wang Qi chuckled, tacitly accepting the "high realm" narrative.

Hou Benli suddenly slapped his hand, "Speaking of which, shouldn't we be looting that guy's storage bag?"

Wang Qi face-palmed again, "In that case, self-defense really does turn into a street mugging."

Hou Benli sighed, "Wrong era... in the old days, when cultivators needed money, they'd just kill a few enemies and loot their storage bags, or simply dive into any old ruin..."

Wang Qi curled his lip, thinking, "I've got the entire net worth of several Ancient Method Practitioners here; if you knew, you'd probably die of disappointment."

The possessions of the four Ancient Method Practitioners Wang Qi had killed, as well as the belongings of Chi Lianxue, were considered Wang Qi's war trophies by the rules of the Immortal Alliance. That's how Wang Qi knew just how pitiful and unworthy of robbery those rubes from overseas were.
