94: Chapter 94 Immortal Arts

Ling Yichen went directly to the Tenth Floor, which was the top floor of the Tower.

Upon entering the Tenth Floor, Ling Yichen felt his breathing become somewhat labored.

Because the space here was in a distorted state, his body, under the pressure of this distortion, briefly faced the risk of a blood collapse.

However, in an instant, his five internal organs suddenly erupted with five-colored divine light. The five-colored divine light shielded his body, allowing him to withstand the damage brought by this spatial distortion.

This also left Ling Yichen quite surprised.

"I didn't expect the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method to be able to resist the damage from spatial distortion. How powerful."

At this moment, he truly felt the prowess of the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method.

An average person would definitely be unable to hold on in this place, but the Myriad Worm Body Forging Method had solved this problem for him.

Moreover, the acceleration effect on the Tenth Floor had reached a staggering fivefold.

At this, Ling Yichen finally showed a satisfied smile.

He quickly found a corner and began to cultivate.

Under the fivefold acceleration effect, it only took him 6 minutes to condense one star. In one hour, he could reach a staggering 10 stars. In other words, he didn't even need a full hour to manifest a complete Star Source Conduction Formation.

This was terrifying.

If the old man and Long Daoyi knew, they would probably capture him and slice him up for research.

Ling Yichen didn't delay and hurriedly began his cultivation.

In a place like this, wasting even a single minute was a sin.

Thus, he began to condense stars on the Tenth Floor of the Tower at an extremely frightening speed.

At the same time he was seriously cultivating, the Tenth Elder, located outside the Tower, opened his eyes, a rare occurrence.

As the guardian of the Tower, he naturally knew that Ling Yichen had entered the Tenth Floor to cultivate.

A rare look of astonishment appeared in his calm eyes, but he soon slowly closed them again, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Not long after, Yuan Qing led a group of people into the secret realm in single file.

She bowed respectfully to the old man outside the Tower and said, "Master, I have brought people here to cultivate."

The old man opened his eyes slowly, glancing at Yuan Qing with a touch of doting in his cloudy eyes. He nodded slightly and then said in an extremely aged voice, "They may enter any floor except the Tenth Floor!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked, especially Yuan Qing.

She let out a soft cry, "Someone has entered the Tenth Floor?"

However, she immediately reined in her emotions, took a serious look at the old man, and then turned to the group of students behind her, saying, "You all heard. Except for the Tenth Floor, you may enter any other floor as you wish."

Although she said that, they wouldn't have been able to enter the Tenth Floor anyway.

The spatial distortion inside meant certain death for those who entered.

In the entire Genius Student Class, even the strongest few could not enter; the highest floor they could reach was the eighth.

"Teacher, who entered the Tenth Floor? How come I didn't know our school had such a heaven-defying figure?" Qing Yi asked like a curious child.

"Don't ask me, I don't know. If you want to know, go up and see for yourself." Qing Yi immediately felt discouraged.

If she could go up to the Tenth Floor, she wouldn't need to ask; she would have gone up to see already.

However, she didn't delay and stepped directly into the light screen, entering the Tower.

The others followed suit, entering one after another.

Soon, it was w and Ye Qingzhu's turn.

When the two were about to step into the light screen, Yuan Qing suddenly called out to Ye Qingzhu.

"Ye Qingzhu, stay for a moment!"

Ye Qingzhu looked at Yuan Qing in surprise and then obediently stood by Yuan Qing's side.

w did not go in either, staying to accompany Ye Qingzhu.

Yuan Qing pulled Ye Qingzhu in front of the old man and said respectfully, "Master, I... I want to take her as my disciple!"

Hearing this, the old man opened his eyes again. This time, his gaze was like two beams of light, looking right through Ye Qingzhu.

The old man frowned slightly and whispered, "Immortal Bloodline?"

Yuan Qing's expression was solemn as she nodded heavily. "Yes, she has awakened the Immortal Bloodline."

The old man sighed and whispered, "As you wish!"

Then he closed his eyes again and said no more.

Yuan Qing let out a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted. She turned to Ye Qingzhu and asked, "Ye Qingzhu, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Ye Qingzhu was already stunned.

Such a good thing existed?

However, she was still a bit confused as to why Yuan Qing wanted to take her as a disciple.

They had only met for the first time today.

Yuan Qing seemed to know Ye Qingzhu's confusion and spoke softly, "Don't worry, I have no ulterior motives toward you. On the contrary, I just want to help you break free from your shackles so that you can control your own life."

As she spoke, her eyes were slightly tearful, filled with endless sorrow.

"Teacher Yuan, are you alright?"

Ye Qingzhu comforted her softly.

Yuan Qing quickly wiped her eyes, then smiled faintly and shook her head. "I'm fine, I just thought of some past events."

Then, as if to make Ye Qingzhu more determined to take her as a master, she leaned in and whispered into Ye Qingzhu's ear, "If you are willing to take me as your master, I can teach you an Immortal Art!"

Ye Qingzhu's eyes widened in shock as she looked at her.

Secret Arts, divine abilities, and immortal arts were all cultivation methods.

Secret Arts were relatively common and could be learned by most people.

Divine abilities were more advanced than Secret Arts and had certain bloodline restrictions; those who didn't meet the requirements couldn't learn them.

As for immortal arts, they were more powerful than divine abilities because they were rare.

But similarly, few people understood immortal arts.

And now, Yuan Qing actually said she would teach her an immortal art; this was too astonishing.

The preciousness of an immortal art went without saying. Most importantly, something of this level was definitely not something an ordinary person could master.

Those who knew immortal arts could only be those who possessed the Immortal Bloodline.

Could it be...

You...

Ye Qingzhu looked Yuan Qing up and down.

Yuan Qing seemed to know what was going through Ye Qingzhu's mind and immediately shook her head. "I am not, but... my mother was. As for the details, I'll tell you after you're willing to become my disciple."

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's expression froze for a moment, then she immediately bowed respectfully and said, "I am willing!"

Yuan Qing then showed a satisfied smile, gently helped her up, and whispered, "Then go and cultivate first. We'll talk more after you come out of the cultivation Tower!"

Ye Qingzhu nodded heavily and then entered the Tower with w.

...

Yuan Qing did not leave. Instead, she sat down silently beside the old man, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate.

As she entered her cultivation state, a milky-white glow slowly radiated from within her body.

The glow surged and surrounded her. Her body began to undergo some changes; the original middle-aged woman slowly transformed into a spirited young girl. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and an ethereal aura naturally arose, as if she were a fairy walking out of a painting.

This was her true face.

The middle-aged woman was merely her disguise, used for the convenience of teaching at the school.

As she slowly revealed her true face, the old man beside her opened his eyes again, looking at her dotingly, with many past events seemingly surfacing in his cloudy eyes.

He vaguely saw many years ago, when an ordinary girl awakened a rare bloodline and was fought over by the Eight Great Factions, who did not hesitate to come to blows.

Ultimately, it triggered a farce that was hard to settle. In that farce, the Eight Great Factions all suffered severe injuries, and the girl was taken away by the people of Sky City.

However, no one knew that before the girl was taken away, she left behind a child.

That child was unlikely to survive due to a congenital deficiency in vital energy and blood.

It was he who slaughtered an immortal beast and used its blood to nurture the child for a hundred years to replenish her vital energy and blood, allowing her to survive.

The Yuan Qing before him was that child.

Yuan Qing had lived for 120 years. For 100 of those years, she was nurtured in immortal blood as an infant, and it was only in the last 20 years that she began to grow and develop like a normal person.

"Sigh..."

The old man let out a soft sigh and then closed his eyes again.

-

Time flowed slowly, and in a flash, four hours passed.

Yuan Qing had already finished her cultivation and was silently waiting outside.

At this moment, she had once again transformed into the middle-aged woman, dignified and indifferent.

Soon, someone came out of the Tower.

A dozen or so pale-faced teenagers staggered out, supporting each other.

This was because they were exhausted from their Mental Energy being depleted due to cultivation.

Seeing this, Yuan Qing immediately went forward, helped them to one side, and distributed some medicine to replenish their Mental Energy.

Before long, another group of people came out. Like the previous ones, they were exhausted from excessive Mental Energy consumption and could barely stand.

Yuan Qing guided them one by one to the side to recover some Mental Energy before letting them leave.

As time went on, batch after batch of people emerged from the Tower.

By about the eight-hour mark, ninety percent of the Genius Student Class had already come out.

The ones who hadn't come out yet were those powerful individuals about to break through to B-rank, as well as those few who had already reached B-rank.

Their Mental Energy was stronger than that of average people, and they had enough resources to sustain their Mental Energy consumption, allowing them to cultivate inside for as long as possible.

Ten hours later.

The individuals about to break through to B-rank also emerged. At this point, only the 8 students who had reached B-rank remained in the Tower.

It was at this time that Long Daoyi arrived.

When Yuan Qing saw Long Daoyi, she immediately frowned in surprise, while Long Daoyi was very happy to see Yuan Qing.

"Ah, Qing'er, I haven't seen you for a few days. You haven't come to the Research Institute to play with me either."

Yuan Qing asked curiously, "Senior Brother, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, she thought of the person on the Tenth Floor of the Tower, and then somehow thought of Ling Yichen.

"The person who entered the Tenth Floor couldn't be Ling Yichen, could it?" she blurted out.

At this, Long Daoyi was also stunned.

"What Tenth Floor? Who went to the Tenth Floor? Junior Brother went to the Tenth Floor? He can enter the Tenth Floor?"

At this moment, Long Daoyi was also dumbfounded.
