156: Chapter 156 Eighth-Order Cultivation Technique Perfected

The Cultivation Techniques of the Duchuan Sword Sect followed a sharp and fierce path, and the Spells practiced by their Disciples were mostly related to swords, possessing formidable killing power.

Under this subtle influence, every Disciple of the Duchuan Sword Sect acted with decisiveness and ruthlessness. Therefore, it was no surprise to anyone that so many people had signed up this time; Fei Luo was merely teasing them.

Fei Luo turned her head to look at Lin Qing again.

"This must be young friend Lin Qing, right? Truly a man of outstanding talent."

After Lin Qing had fully matured, his looks were truly impeccable. Coupled with the fact that he was standing right next to Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao, it was no wonder he was recognized at a glance.

Lin Qing's eyelid twitched. Why had the topic suddenly shifted to him, and so abruptly at that? Nevertheless, he politely cupped his hands in a salute.

From the crowd of the Qingyuan Sect, Mu Yao, who had met Lin Qing once before, stepped out. She walked to within ten feet of Lin Qing and performed an uncommon curtsy.

"Young Master Lin Qing, we meet again."

Before Lin Qing could answer, a woman in white robes also stepped out from the Duchuan Sword Sect and cupped her hands to Lin Qing, saying:

"Young Master Lin Qing, I am Xue Ling. It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Please treat me well in the future."

Ling Shu finally couldn't take it anymore. She believed she wasn't worthy of Lin Qing, which was why she had never pestered him. But she certainly didn't think she was any worse than Xue Ling or Mu Yao standing before her.

"If I am not worthy, then neither are you!"

Thus, Ling Shu stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Qing.

"I am Ling Shu. Greetings to you both."

In truth, it wasn't that Mu Yao and Xue Ling were genuinely in love with Lin Qing—after all, one had only met him once before, and the other had never even seen him. It was just that, according to their intelligence, Lin Qing was indeed someone worth interacting with, so they thought they might as well make contact.

If it came to genuine affection, they perhaps couldn't compare to Ling Shu. In Ling Shu's eyes, Lin Qing was the person who had sacrificed his own life in a desperate situation to trade for her survival, not to mention that Lin Qing was so handsome and so strong.

The atmosphere on the deck suddenly became a bit subtle. Yun Feng coughed twice and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

"Alright, since everyone has arrived, let's first assign living quarters."

Although this Flying Boat of the Duchuan Sword Sect was only a hundred zhang wide, it was over six hundred zhang long. It was of a long, flat type, so there were many rooms on the top level.

Lin Qing was an absolute core member among the Disciples of the Chuyun Immortal Sect, so he and Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao were both arranged to stay on the top level. Ling Shu, seemingly because she was relatively close to Lin Qing, was also arranged to stay there.

After everything was arranged, the Flying Boat set sail, heading north.

The setting sun dipped low, pressing golden light onto the vast blue waves and stretching out a long band of radiance. As the waves rose and fell, the band of light transformed into thousands of dancing fiery scales. The pale blue sky slowly faded into orange-pink and rouge-red, evenly suffusing with the warm glow of the sunset.

The Cultivators from the three Sects all walked out of their rooms and onto the deck. Even those who had lived for one or two hundred years had never seen such dreamy scenery on the sea.

Fei Luo brought out her treasured fine wine and arranged for the deacons of each Sect to carry the wine and weave through the crowd.

Soon, the Prodigies of the three Sects were completely scattered and mingled together. Men and women from different Sects began to get to know one another and converse. Fei Luo stood by the railing, a motherly smile spreading across her face.

Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao knocked on Lin Qing's door: "A wine party is being held on the deck. Aren't you going to take a look?"

Recalling the scene on the deck when he boarded the ship, Lin Qing shuddered. "I think I'll pass. I plan to start closed-door cultivation."

Thus, half a day after the group set off, Lin Qing began another round of closed-door cultivation, with the goal of reaching Perfection in all his Eight-Tier Cultivation Techniques.

The speed of the Ten-Tier Flying Boat was indeed incredibly fast. Seven days later, the Flying Boat had reached the depths of the ocean, a place that low-tier Cultivators could not reach even in a year or two.

Just a moment ago, Lin Qing had practiced his final Eight-Tier Cultivation Technique to the point of Perfection.

The sea surface began to surge, and the sky gradually darkened. Even the Ten-Tier Flying Boat was swayed slightly by the sudden, fierce winds.

The Spiritual Qi within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was pulled by an invisible force, forming a five-colored vortex above the Flying Boat, which finally poured into Lin Qing's room.

"What happened? Is a storm coming?" "It's Lin Qing's room. What is he doing?"

The commotion was too great, and everyone's gaze converged toward Lin Qing's room, accompanied by exclamations of shock.

The room naturally had a Formation to isolate Divine Thought, but while it could deceive these Spirit Realm Disciples, it could not deceive the two God Realm Cultivators, Yun Feng and Fei Luo.

Fortunately, Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao's reaction was a step faster than theirs. She already lived next door to Lin Qing and had been keeping a wisp of her Divine Thought on him at all times.

Therefore, when Yun Feng and Fei Luo noticed the abnormality and cast their Divine Thought over, Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao had already taken the first step to isolate the scene inside the room.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing, the moment his Cultivation Technique reached Perfection, had already fallen into a strange dream.

In the dream, Lin Qing stood atop a divine mountain of yellow earth. Looking up, the skies in every direction were distinct and clear. One side was an endless sea of green forests, one side was towering flames scorching the Void Realm, one side was filled with icy blue ocean mist, and the last side was swirling with thousands of sharp blades.

He stepped forward, his figure shuttling between the five Realms, feeling the Origin of the Five Elements. By the time he had set foot in all five regions, the five-colored power of the Origin was entwined around his body.

Then the world began to crumble, and the five regions began their Fusion. Only then did he shudder and abruptly open his eyes.

The phenomenon outside was still continuing. The Five Elements Spiritual Power was continuously pouring toward him, and his body was shining with a five-colored spiritual light.

But in reality, compared to the Spiritual Qi pouring in from outside, the changes to the World Core within his body were even more intense. The World Core, which had originally been releasing the power of the Five Elements slowly, was now pouring it into the black space of his Dantian like a bursting flood.

After carefully sensing it and discovering that there seemed to be no hidden dangers, Lin Qing moved his mind and opened the System panel.

[Host: Lin Qing] Realm: Guiyi Realm (Breakthrough Time: ∞) Talents: Innate Mysterious Fetus, Origin Spiritual Body, Ultra Instinct, Words Become Law. Merged Cultivation Techniques: Origin Meditation Method (Expand). Recorded Cultivation Techniques: [None]. Mastered Will: Burning Bridges. Recorded Will: Five Elements Will (1/1000). Cultivation Skills: Eight-Tier Formation Master, Seven-Tier Alchemist...

Just like before, all the Spirit Realm Cultivation Techniques he had practiced had now completely merged into a brand-new talent: Origin Spiritual Body.

And the Breakthrough time being ∞ was because crossing from the Spirit Realm to the God Realm was the same as crossing from the Mortal Realm to the Spirit Realm; it required special conditions.

Besides this, he had also comprehended a brand-new Will: Five Elements Will. However, unlike Burning Bridges, the Five Elements Will had a progress bar, and for the moment, he did not know how to increase it.

Lin Qing closed the panel. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, all the Five Elements power from the World Core had entered Lin Qing's body. The torrent of Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth slowly faded and dissipated, and the five-colored spiritual light around his body also began to recede.
