Moon Palace’s Earth Immortal found his control of immortal power slipping.

  “What the hell is this?”


  “No wonder it’s taboo. You’re affecting my immortal power!”


  “I won’t let you live!”


  Ling Xian smiled as his hands trembled. A tide was on the rise! “My Master taught me this move. Tell me what you think.”


  The spiritual energy around him ruptured into a spirit sea. He stood in its center exaggeratedly waving his hands, launching tides with each fist, filled with Qiongqi and Flood Dragons!

  Ling Xian’s left let loose Qiongqi while his right made Flood Dragons soar!

  They were closing in on the Earth Immortal as he roared, “You’re dead! Moonlight’s Descent!”


  A waning moon rose from his body spilling out moonlight as he unleashed it upon the waves!

  Qiongqi and Flood Dragons needed but a spark of time to shred it as Ling Xian’s fist shook everything around the Earth Immortal.

  Three punches left the Earth Immortal soaked in blood.

  Ling Xian smiled, “So that’s what an immortal amounts to, huh?”


  A twenty-man Heavenly Court patrol team flew over, each an Earth Immortal.

  Ling Xian smiled, “Master once said that Heavenly Court’s Earth Immortals are the weakest!”


  Ling Xian flew to end them when twenty immortal swords came to meet him. He punched and, with a boom, he sent a flying sword down yonder.

  His fists never stopped and each strike shook the world.

  He ended blowing away the swords and went to deal with the Earth Immortals. One strike was enough to make one of them cough blood.

  More and more immortals rushed over and saw Ling Xian’s overbearing might, “A Transcending realm cultivator is wiping the floor with immortals!”


  “And not just one!”


  “It’s the taboo cultivation method!”


  This was the power o a half-step Flay Immortals stage. If he had just entered the Sea Gazing stage, the outcome would’ve been different.

  And Dao Canon’s edge was that he could dish out Conquering Immortals Art without stopping!

  If spiritual energy didn’t dry up, his power never waned.

  Ling Xian landed and punched with Conquering Immortals Art.

  He began to recall Chen Ming’s teachings. As his onslaught of blows kept going, they were smoother and precise.

  An immortal sword stabbed his stomach, “There’s too many of them.”


  Ling Xian popped open a pill bottle and in it were golden plump immortal pills.

  He swallowed one, pulled the sword out, and resumed striking. The pill worked its magic into repairing him all the while.

  Some took advantage and charged for the kill, yet black-clothed men blocked them, the deserters.

  They shouted, “What are a bunch of deserters doing interfering in this mess?”


  Wang Ming pondered, “We couldn’t just stand aside and let you pick on a helpless man.”


  They cursed, “On what grounds?”


  Wang Ming laughed, “Regardless they’re valid or not, you just need to know we’re here to stay.”


  Wang Ming heard a scout’s report, “He killed most of them!”


  Wang Ming nodded, “Ten early Earth Immortals came from Heavenly Court, while the others brought five at the most.”


  The immortals cursed again, “Are you going against the four Great Immortal Domains?”


  Wang Ming shook his head, “I never even attacked, so why say such things?”


  Those that wanted to kill Ling Xian were boiling inside, yet their hands were tied. The group before them was too big and were even deserters on top.

  With how Ling Xian showed off, he’d be dead sooner or later. The deserter was here to act as a filter and let the immortals who could help him breakthrough. Ling Xian was clueless to these happenings, only thinking this was a life and death battle.

  The deserter thought, This way it won’t affect Lord’s affairs.

  Ling Xian had no time to think, only fight, being in constant battle; their numbers were endless. He killed a wave and another came to replace it!

  Blood soaked his body, yet it wasn’t the enemy’s but his. Thanks to his half-step Flay Immortals stage he could win against them. As for pointing out why they were all early Earth Immortals, he didn’t have the mind to focus on such matters, when his heart and soul were only invested in this battle.

  His thoughts were around being sprawled dead sooner or later if he didn’t breakthrough. Each punch, each Conquering Immortals Art release, exhausted his energy. But if there was anything others lacked and he didn’t, that was spiritual power.

  Spiritual power galore!

  Ling Xian knew no rest. The spiritual energy rippled everywhere, and he was smack in the middle of it.

  Each punch brought with it new discoveries. He needed but the last piece to fall into place and his advancement was at hand.

  Truth be told, having stayed under Master’s protection for so many years, this came to be his first life and death battle. It was his first time feeling death breathing down his neck. Under the threat of death, he had to make each strike stronger than the last!

  If a mid or late Earth Immortal comes, I’m finished!

  ‘Lucky’ though, this never happened. So he would use this chance to seek out further insights and strive for a perfect Conquering Immortals Art!

  Ling Xian punched his way well into the night. Wan Baqian entered Chen Yu’s courtyard without being seen. Even if he were, no biggie, shopkeepers pay each other visits all the time. It was the norm.

  Wan Baqian said, “Fourth senior sister, you’re not going to second senior brother?”


  Chen Yu was earnest, “Perhaps letting him die once would allow him to understand at last. His final moments will open new doors for him. Ah, people, this is how they are. They’ll never understand ’til death.”


  “Then time is of the essence.”


  “Aren’t your men there?”


  “Yeah, second senior brother will be alright. He is one of us, a decisive man from Yan Mountain.”


  “Before dying, people enter a phase of suspended death and the soul doesn’t scatter. It’ll be fine for 14 hours, so relax. This is the reason behind Martyrs, this is why they’re undying.”


  “If second senior brother’s body is ruined, what then? We can’t save him.”


  Chen Yu thought a bit, “Oh, you never played cards with him. Go gamble with him and then come to me with your doubts.”


  “Hmm, if I open a casino, I’ll probably win. Once he steps in, he’ll lose for sure.”


  “Don’t you ever let second senior brother enter your casino. His luck is a tad on the insane side.”


  Wan Baqian’s eyelid twitched. So that’s how it is. For even Chen Yu to have total faith in luck, just how high is his?
