268: Traces of the Ancestor

From a time perspective, Ancestral Master Ji Ying ascended to the Upper Realm several hundred years ago.

For a World Breaker, as long as he can successfully survive here, several hundred years are enough for him to grow to a considerable height.

Li Qi had thoroughly studied the Pine Crane Longevity Art and understood this Cultivation Technique very well, but ever since he ascended to the Immortal Martial World, he had rarely used this Cultivation Technique again.

The reason was simple: it was a Cultivation Technique from the Lower Realm, lacking in Rank and only reaching the level of an ultimate secret art, while in the Upper Realm, there were too many higher-quality Cultivation Techniques for Li Qi to cultivate.

The Pine Crane Longevity Art had long since failed to keep up with Li Qi's growth, and Li Qi used this Cultivation Technique less and less, its presence greatly diminished.

However, the sword marks Li Qi saw on this giant rock today made him realize that these marks were not simple; this was not ordinary Pine Crane Longevity Art... but a Cultivation Technique at the World King Realm level!

"Ancestral Master never gave up on this Cultivation Technique after ascending to the Upper Realm... He elevated this Cultivation Technique to the World King Realm level?!"

"This means Ancestral Master has also reached the World King Realm!"

Li Qi was surprised and carefully identified these marks, immediately discerning a lot of information. As a World King Realm expert himself, he could naturally see the intricacies within.

Not only that, Li Qi also found that this giant rock and the scattered traces nearby were somewhat messy... lacking a sense of composure.

Li Qi's brows furrowed slightly.

"Did Ancestral Master encounter a powerful enemy here?"

"It seems he was a bit overwhelmed..."

With a wave of his hand, sixty-four tortoise shells materialized, and a massive trigram diagram appeared, quickly beginning to calculate.

The tortoise shells collided and combined, revealing various divinatory symbols, and a large amount of information about Ji Ying was calculated.

In just five breaths, and at the cost of one shattered tortoise shell, Li Qi calculated the final divinatory symbol for Ji Ying.

Thunder-Water Deliverance!

This divinatory symbol shows thunder above and water below, symbolizing spring thunder resounding and rain nourishing the earth, resolving the difficulties of all things growing.

It signifies finding a way out of a predicament, escaping danger through effort and wisdom, and avoiding a disaster.

This Thunder-Water Deliverance divinatory symbol can be considered an auspicious one; although some dangers will be encountered, ultimately, misfortune will turn into good fortune!

Upon seeing such a divinatory symbol, Li Qi also slightly exhaled a breath of relief. This Ancestral Master was now out of danger, and he didn't need to worry too much.

This time, when Li Qi left the Four Seas Sect to travel, he had thought about looking for Ji Ying's whereabouts and having contact with this Ancestral Master.

When Li Qi was still struggling in the Lower Realm, the Pine Crane Longevity Art martial art had provided him with immense help, being one of the greatest aids in his growth to date. Li Qi had always felt grateful to this Ancestral Master.

But Li Qi never expected... Ancestral Master Ji Ying would also come to this ancient battlefield!

A moment later, Li Qi was immediately relieved.

The emergence of the Slaughtering Heaven Plains this time caused too much commotion and affected too wide an area, startling many supreme experts who had long not been active outside.

Even the Azure Sea Palace, hundreds of thousands of miles away, received the news, and this Ancestral Master of the Pine Crane Longevity Sect also came here... it no longer seemed so difficult to accept.

A clear song and a cup full of wine, where in life do we not meet again?

Li Qi shook his head: "Suddenly, I feel this world... is truly small..."

Although he knew Ji Ying was in the Slaughtering Heaven Plains, Li Qi was not in a hurry to find him. Instead, he continued to focus on his original goal: pursuing that special Corpse Fiend.

That Corpse Fiend was related to Li Qi's opportunity to Breakthrough the ten realms, and he absolutely could not afford to lose it. If that Corpse Fiend were intercepted and killed by others, Li Qi would be beyond tears.

Li Qi accelerated, strands of lightning coiling around his body, flying forward at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, Li Qi saw a figure running wildly on the ground... it was a Corpse Fiend whose Physical Body had almost completely decayed, leaving only a skeleton!

This skeletal Corpse Fiend's movement technique was marvelous; with one step, its figure would briefly disappear, instantly reappearing a hundred meters away.

Relying on this continuous short-distance teleportation movement technique, the Corpse Fiend's speed was very fast and agile, able to run a great distance in the blink of an eye.

Electric light flickered in Li Qi's eyes, locking onto the White Bone Corpse Fiend's figure. Taking advantage of the moment the opponent took a step and its figure just reappeared... a bolt of lightning directly struck this Corpse Fiend.

A huge force struck, and the Corpse Fiend's body was enveloped in electric light, flying far away, its body dragging a deep trench on the ground.

"Awoo..."

This Corpse Fiend's consciousness had almost completely disappeared, leaving only bestiality. After being attacked by Li Qi, it charged towards Li Qi.

The White Bone Corpse Fiend raised its hand and thrust, its entire left arm directly breaking off, transforming into a sharp bone spear that shot towards Li Qi.

At the same time, its entire skeleton began to detach from its body, turning into sharp bone darts that flew like rain.

The White Bone Corpse Fiend's strength had already exceeded the limit of the World King Realm, reaching the Enlightenment Realm level, with extremely strong attack power.

However, because it had almost no consciousness, its attacks were direct and unorganized, making it not difficult for Li Qi to deal with them.

Three Thousand Blood Realms!

While the bones on this White Bone Corpse Fiend's body were reassembling, Li Qi unleashed the Divine Ability of Three Thousand Blood Realms, and One by one blood-colored realm barriers confined the opponent's body.

This was a precious treasure, and Li Qi would not treat it the way he treated other Corpse Fiends. If he accidentally damaged this guy, it would be troublesome.

Confined by the Three Thousand Blood Realms, the White Bone Corpse Fiend roared madly, constantly striking the blood-colored realm barriers. Each of its strikes could shatter more than ten blood-colored realm barriers, but it was useless.

The blood-colored realm barriers Li Qi condensed were extremely numerous, totaling over a hundred layers. Although the White Bone Corpse Fiend shattered the realm barriers quickly... Li Qi's speed in condensing them was even faster!

The White Bone Corpse Fiend's speed of destroying the realm barriers was actually no match for Li Qi's speed of rebuilding them!

After capturing this White Bone Corpse Fiend, Li Qi pointed his finger, and golden Sanskrit characters surged from Li Qi's fingertip, penetrating the blood-colored realm barriers and landing on the White Bone Corpse Fiend's body.

Strands of golden light continuously drilled into the White Bone Corpse Fiend's body, and soon a large amount of black smoke was forced out of the Corpse Fiend's body...
