NOVPUB"Scourge!"
Huo Jingtong’s heart burned with extreme annoyance.
She had warned him again and again before leaving to behave himself a little.
Yet, this nefarious disciple not only failed to heed her words but went further with increased vigor, bringing calamity upon all the disciples at Lui Yue Peak!
If this gets out...
Just thinking about the repercussions of this matter being leaked, Huo Jingtong felt darkness before her eyes.
"I can’t indulge him any longer, he must be taught a severe lesson!"
Thinking this, Huo Jingtong’s right hand gathered a Moonlight infused with one-tenth of her full strength and shot it towards Li Qing.
The moment she attacked, Huo Jingtong felt a tinge of regret.
After all, as a God Transforming cultivator, even one-tenth of her power was not something Li Qing, who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, could withstand.
If she were to harm him...
Huo Jingtong was considering retracting some of her force when something that shook her to the core occurred.
She saw a crescent moon rise behind Li Qing, casting his already extraordinary visage in an even more ethereal, celestial light.
And Huo Jingtong’s Moonlight attack was effortlessly blocked by Li Qing!
"How is this possible! The moon revealed halfway, this is a sign of mastering the Moonlight Transformation Techinique! Only those in the later stages of Nascent Soul could achieve this! How long have I been gone?" Huo Jingtong was struck by a mixture of astonishment and surging emotions in her heart.
Stirred up her internal injuries, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this, Li Qing flashed to Huo Jingtong’s side, supporting her shoulder with a look of urgency and concern on his face: "Master, how did you get injured?"
"Let me heal you!" 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"Hmph, I, a lofty God Transforming cultivator, still need..." Before Huo Jingtong could finish her sentence, she let out a groan and was forced to stop.
Feeling the Force of Absolute Yin transmitted from Li Qing’s hot palm, Huo Jingtong felt as if her body was suddenly covered with ants, tingling incessantly.
However, she was, after all, at the God Transforming Cultivation Level, and she quickly suppressed the strangeness in her heart. More so, she was amazed at the endlessly pure energy her disciple was transfusing into her body.
This Force of Absolute Yin, once it entered her, acted like a catalyst, stirring up waves of the Moonlight power she had cultivated. After a tumultuous intertwining reminiscent of overturning seas and rivers, the Force of Absolute Yin was completely integrated into the mighty force of Moonlight.
And her own Moonlight power, which Huo Jingtong considered nearly perfect, became even purer after this fusion. It even faintly took on the mysterious aura of the Great Taoist Sect!
This was a sign of a breakthrough to the Unity Realm!
Words could not describe the shock and confusion in Huo Jingtong’s heart at this moment.
She even had a thought that it would be wonderful if Li Qing’s transmission of the Force of Absolute Yin never stopped.
As the two powers intertwined, and with her own Cultivation Base which had been stagnant for a long time gradually climbing, Huo Jingtong’s spirit started to drift away.
Time seemed to blur...
Li Qing released his hands from supporting Huo Jingtong’s back.
"Master..."
Seeing Huo Jingtong still somewhat dazed, he called out softly.
Huo Jingtong came back to her senses, and a blush rapidly spread across her cheeks.
"My injury is healed, you can leave now."
Her heart in turmoil, Huo Jingtong urged him on.
"In that case, I am reassured." Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief and left with a bow of his hand.
Watching Li Qing retreat quickly, a trace of irritation couldn’t help but arise in Huo Jingtong’s heart again.
...
From that day forward, an unusual emotional bond spread between master and disciple.
But Li Qing did not expose it outright, always maintaining the image of a good disciple who respected and honored his master in front of Huo Jingtong.
Only behind the scenes, his troubling actions on Lui Yue Peak never ceased.
Huo Jingtong’s spiritual consciousness enveloped the whole peak, with everything happening on it observed by her eyes.
Even though it was still utterly absurd, what was done was done. Could she really exterminate all her disciples? Furthermore, Li Qing had not lied. Under the miraculous work of that Supreme Yin Power, the progress of the disciples in strength was plain for all to see.
Thus, Huo Jingtong had no choice but to let it go, allowing Li Qing to do as she pleased.
To prevent detection by cultivators from other peaks, she even actively set up an array to shield her.
Under the nourishment of the Supreme Yin Power of the Reverse Ethical Scripture, everyone on Lui Yue Peak enjoyed not only pleasure but also a rapid advancement in their cultivation base.
Only Huo Jingtong alone did not enjoy these benefits.
And Li Qing, as if he had no such intentions towards his master, behaved with utmost propriety in every action he took.
Thus, two years passed in the blink of an eye.
Atop Lui Yue Peak, in the Secret room of seclusion.
Huo Jingtong nervously watched Li Qing, surrounded by vast spiritual power, her heart filled with complex emotions.
"Just over two years, and already making a push for God Transformation," she thought.
"Such speed in cultivation, it’s unheard of."
"If he succeeds in breaking through, won’t his cultivation base be on par with mine? If he forces the issue..."
Huo Jingtong’s Spirit Consciousness was in a state of chaos.
Just then, a gust of strong wind blew past, and a formidable Taoist Aura burst forth from Li Qing’s body.
Then suddenly, it vanished.
"Did he really succeed?" Huo Jingtong stared at Li Qing, her mind in a daze.
"Thank you, Master, for protecting my law!" Li Qing bowed in gratitude, his demeanor gentle and erudite.
Huo Jingtong turned away, avoiding Li Qing’s salute.
According to the Taoist Sect Rules, once a disciple’s cultivation base catches up to or surpasses that of their master, they may refer to each other as equals from then on.
Of course, if one greatly respects their master and does not differentiate status by strength, the master-disciple relationship can be maintained.
Li Qing smiled slightly, "Even if one day I attain Longevity, in my heart, you will always be my master. The only one."
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingtong trembled slightly.
She couldn’t help but feel moved by the sincerity on Li Qing’s face.
"Let’s go. Lui Yue Peak has gained another God Transforming cultivator, such a joyous occasion should be shared with the others sooner rather than later." Li Qing stepped forward and gently took Huo Jingtong’s flawless hand.
Huo Jingtong made a symbolic struggle but did not break free.
Thus, she stopped resisting.
On Lui Yue Peak, a moment of indulgence ensued.
And in the depth of emotion, Huo Jingtong, too, ultimately could not escape convention.
At night, when everyone else had fallen into deep sleep.
Li Qing, feeling the massive yin energy drawn from Huo Jingtong’s body, never before experienced, nodded in satisfaction.
"The feedback from a God Transforming cultivator is truly extraordinary."
"This large amount of Supreme Yin Power will be enough to support rapid cultivation within the God Transformation Stage for a while."
"But it’s still not enough!"
With newfound strength, Li Qing’s ambitions swelled even further.
He began setting his sights on the female cultivators of the Moonlight lineage.
"Only the Immortal Realm is my ultimate pursuit."
The moonlight shrouded the land but did not reveal Li Qing’s shadow.
His face was hidden in the night, indiscernible.
The next day, Huo Jingtong woke up and immediately started a seclusion with Li Qing.
The bottleneck that had imprisoned and troubled her for many years had finally loosened after last night’s endeavor.
Huo Jingtong felt a premonition that her advancement to the Unity Realm was not far off.
