60: The Azure Lotus Dao-Slaying Technique, Qin Mengli's obstruction, and Xu Jinhuan's grand principles.

Defeating Li Jiaoyang with a single palm, forcing out his substitute death talisman.

The prodigies who had been restless and wanted to weigh Xu Jinhuan's strength now retracted their thoughts, their gazes filled only with reverence and wariness.

Xu Jinhuan and Yin Xinsu walked towards the Great Emperor stone carving together.

The self-important top prodigies who had been surrounding the stone carving tacitly stepped aside, voluntarily clearing the best viewing position for him.

This included the Goddess of the Qin Family from the Longevity Family, the Dao Child of the Zhou Family, and even the Nine-Headed Golden Lion with its overbearing aura, which narrowed its beastly eyes and shrank back.

"I heard this person has Heaven-Defying Aptitude. Could the Cultivation Technique in the stone carving be snatched away by him first?"

The Nine-Headed Golden Lion transmitted its voice to Zhou Xuan, its beastly eyes deep, attempting to sow discord.

"Heh, good bone structure and Aptitude don't mean high Comprehension Ability. This place only has ancient runes; it all depends on Comprehension Ability. I think this kid is about to suffer a major blow!"

The Zhou Family Dao Child replied via voice transmission, his tone somewhat sour.

Because Xu Jinhuan's appearance was just too superior, he felt deeply inferior.

Qin Mengli, the Goddess of the Qin Family, stood alone, occupying an excellent position on one side of the stone carving. She looked at Xu Jinhuan, her clear eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

"number zero sequence of the Taiyi Holy Land, I still need three days to crack and comprehend this Cultivation Technique. I wonder how long you will need?"

This stone carving was over a zhang tall, about two people's height, cyan-black in color, and covered with dense, ancient inscriptions.

Every rune was sharp and powerful, with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and between the lines, a sky-piercing Sword Intent was revealed, sharp to the extreme. Ordinary Cultivators felt a stinging pain in their eyes after just one extra glance, and their Divine Soul seemed to be torn apart by that sharp Qi!

It was no wonder there were rumors that the Great Emperor's Cultivation Technique and Dao of the Sword Legacy were hidden here.

Most of the surrounding Cultivators sat cross-legged with furrowed brows, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, evidently being tormented by the obscure runes and overbearing Sword Intent within the stone carving. Very few could barely comprehend it.

Even the Goddess of the Qin Family could not stare at the carving for long, having to shift her gaze and rest every quarter of an hour.

Yin Xinsu found a position and began to comprehend, her pretty face tense, clearly resisting the backlash of the stone carving with all her might, trying to capture that faint trace of Sword Intent.

Fang Qingyao and the other three women were even paler, able only to watch from a distance, not daring to touch the Qi of the inscriptions easily.

As for Xu Jinhuan, he only glanced at the stone carving and lost interest.

"I thought it was how difficult, just this?"

A new Cultivation Technique had already appeared in his mind.

"Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art."

On the surface, this was a supreme secret art for tempering the Divine Soul, drawing in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to nourish the Divine Soul, capable of seeing through illusions and condensing the Dao Heart.

Deep down, it hid a wisp of the Great Emperor's Dao of the Sword Concept, rigid and flexible, capable of both severing the Divine Soul and severing the Heart Demon, guarding the Dao Heart.

"It is indeed a very clever design with remarkable utility; it deserves to be a Great Emperor Scripture."

After thoroughly figuring out the Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art, Xu Jinhuan gave his evaluation.

Of course, in the eyes of someone with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability like him, this Divine Soul Cultivation Technique was not perfect.

"There are still quite a few flaws and loopholes. I will modify it first, then see if it can be fused with the Chaos God-Demon Visualization Method to become a new Cultivation Technique."

His gaze swept over the four women beside him who were struggling to comprehend.

Especially Yin Xinsu, who was gritting her teeth to resist the backlash of the runes while immersed in the comprehension of the Sword Intent.

Xu Jinhuan began to close his eyes and rest, secretly embarking on the path of repairing and fusing Cultivation Techniques.

With Chaos Power as the foundation, absorbing the Divine Soul nourishment method of the stone carving secret art, and supplementing it with that wisp of the Great Emperor's Dao of the Sword's killing and guarding intent, a brand new Cultivation Technique prototype quickly took shape in his Sea of Consciousness.

This Cultivation Technique not only retained the overbearing nature of the Chaos Visualization Method but also possessed the subtlety of the Great Emperor's secret art. It could even use the Divine Soul to drive the Sword Intent, rigid and flexible, with infinite potential.

Not far away, Qin Mengli, who was taking a break, glanced at Xu Jinhuan, who was closing his eyes to rest and not staring at the stone carving to comprehend, and couldn't help but shake her head, thinking to herself:

"Sure enough, he is a brute who only has the Physique but lacks Comprehension Ability. It seems I overestimated him."

"What a waste of such a good skin..."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Constantly, Cultivators spat blood and retreated because they could not withstand the backlash of the stone carving. There were also a few Cultivators who were inspired, catching a glimpse of the surface, and their cultivation or Sword Intent improved slightly, causing bursts of exclamations.

Qin Mengli had a solemn expression, holding her breath, clearly in a very critical state.

On the morning of the third day, when the first wisp of Chaos Qi fell from the Void Realm and enveloped the Great Emperor stone carving, Xu Jinhuan slowly opened his eyes.

In his mind, the System panel had changed again.

[Host: Xu Jinhuan]

[Realm: Immortal Platform Realm, Second Layer (Ultimate Perfection Immortal Platform!)]

[Aptitude: Peak Immortal King Posture]

[Cultivation Technique: Taiyi Scripture (Ninth Layer), Great Celestial Immortal Technique (Immortal Grade, Third Layer), Heavenly Dragon Primal Spirit Body Tempering Art (Heaven Emperor Grade, Second Layer), Chaos Heavens Visualization Great Law (Immortal Grade, Second Layer)]

[Dao Concept: Green Lotus Sword Intent (Perfection)]

[Physique: Eternal Chaos Body (Awakening 10%)]

[Divine Ability: Double Pupil Technique!]

During the comprehension process, not only did he fully comprehend the Green Lotus Sword Intent in the stone carving.

He also happened to break through his Realm, and his combat power went up another level.

Everything was a matter of course, very natural.

"So, the Chaos God-Demon Visualization Method was too incomplete to be recognized by the System?"

"Now that I have essentially repaired most of the defects of this Cultivation Technique and added a second visualization object, it barely reached the passing line of completeness, and the System finally displayed it."

Looking at the changes in the System panel, Xu Jinhuan understood.

"Being able to contain the core essence of a Great Emperor Scripture, it seems the grade of this Cultivation Technique is far beyond my imagination. The complete Chaos God-Demon Visualization Method is definitely above the Immortal Grade!"

After sighing, he opened his eyes and looked around the audience.

Everyone present was almost in the same state, sweating profusely, extremely painful, and one look told him they were still a long way from comprehending the "Azure Lotus Dao Severing Art."

These people would never be able to comprehend it in their lives.

Xu Jinhuan judged in his heart.

But when his gaze fell on the Goddess of the Qin Family, he paused slightly, surprised.

During these days of cultivation, he learned her identity.

"No wonder this woman can become the Goddess of the Qin Family; her Comprehension Ability is indeed not bad. She has actually touched the surface of the Cultivation Technique and is only one step away from full comprehension."

"It's a pity that she is still blinded by appearances and has not realized the most essential Law of the stone carving, missing the point."

The four women who came with him were also sweating profusely, their fragrant sweat dripping, being tortured quite a bit. Their progress in comprehension was considerable, but compared to Qin Mengli, they were still far behind.

Only Fang Qingyao performed a little better, with not much pain on her face.

But it was not because her Comprehension Ability was high, but because of the Chaos Qi in her body...

It can only be said that the Eternal Chaos Body is still too powerful...

"Three days of comprehension, the timing is about right."

Xu Jinhuan nodded secretly and was about to wake them up.

However, his actions changed in flavor in the eyes of Qin Mengli.

"Young Master Xu, even if you cannot comprehend the Great Emperor Scripture yourself, there is no need to destroy the Opportunity of those around you, right?"

Qin Mengli appeared beside Xu Jinhuan at some point and said coldly.

In her view, this brainless brute was jealous of the women around him for their superior Comprehension Ability and did not want them to comprehend the Cultivation Technique in the stone carving, so he deliberately interrupted their Dao comprehension.

He was just a scumbag with explosive desire for control who couldn't stand women being better than him. What a waste of such a good skin!

I must help them protect this Opportunity!

Qin Mengli's sense of justice exploded inexplicably, and her eyes became even colder as she looked at the handsome man in front of her.

With the appearance of Qin Mengli, a familiar mechanical prompt sounded in Xu Jinhuan's mind.

[Ding! Detected a beauty who meets the conditions. Please Sign-in after contacting and communicating with her!]

Another woman who meets the System's requirements!

As expected of the Goddess of the Qin Family!

But feeling the hostility from her, Xu Jinhuan felt inexplicable.

"This young lady, I don't think I know you, right?"

He couldn't understand why she wanted to stop him from waking his companions.

As for destroying the Opportunity, it was even more nonsense.

He was just waking the four women to give them a real Opportunity and not let them waste their time on the wrong path.

"Hmph, being strangers doesn't mean I can't help when I see injustice. A narrow-minded hypocrite like you, destroying the Opportunity of your companions, I, Qin Mengli, will never let it go when I see it!"

Qin Mengli snorted coldly, her eyes becoming colder and colder, blocking Xu Jinhuan firmly.

"Miss Qin, I am afraid there is a misunderstanding here."

Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan knew that the woman who called herself 'Qin Mengli' had developed a bias and misunderstanding against him.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing. No matter how eloquently you speak, I only saw you trying to destroy your companions' Opportunity. Today, you won't get past me!"

Even though Xu Jinhuan wanted to explain, Qin Mengli was relentless and did not give him a chance to explain at all.

In this situation, Xu Jinhuan was also provoked.

"Heh, since Miss Qin refuses to make way, then this sequence will reason with you."

It was time for a hearty, heart-to-heart communication!

"What kind of logic?"

"Naturally, it is the first Law of the cultivation world: having big fists is the hard truth."

It just so happened that Xu Jinhuan's logic was big and hard!

"Hmph, just by you?"

Qin Mengli showed undisguised disgust on her face, her eyes full of disdain.

Although this guy defeated Li Jiaoyang, that was just because Li Jiaoyang was too much of a waste, which set him off as arrogant.

If it were her, Qin Mengli, facing Li Jiaoyang, she would definitely be able to win more cleanly than him!

As the strongest Prodigy of this generation of the Qin Family, at the fifth layer of the Divine Spirit Realm, Qin Mengli had full confidence!

Xu Jinhuan did not speak, just punched.

The next moment, immeasurable divine light bloomed on his body, and the terrifying power of the Eternal Chaos Body was released without reservation.

The shocking pressure was like a river flowing backwards, instantly covering the whole audience!

Mountains and rivers changed color!

Space trembled!

Boom! Crack!

The sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Xu Jinhuan's fist directly penetrated her protective light shield, shattered her ribs, and plunged into her chest!

What was even more terrifying was that the palm wrapped in Chaos Qi actually grabbed the violently beating heart in her chest cavity!

With just a gentle force, the whole heart would be shattered, and Qin Mengli's Physical Body would collapse!

One-hit kill!

Truly, her heart was captured!

"How is it? Is Miss Qin satisfied with this sequence's logic?"

Xu Jinhuan said with a smile, the smile clearly elegant to the extreme.

In Qin Mengli's eyes, it was extremely ferocious, like the most terrifying evil ghost in the eighteenth layer of Hell.

She trembled all over, her face full of extreme fear and disbelief.

This man is too terrifying!
