Chapter 123 Tianzi Wangqi (1/2)

Zhao Xiaoyu who stood in mid-air and swayed along the wind was bathed in a pale holy glow. Unlike the moon, she was not reflecting the brightness of the sun. She was emanating the glow from within, just like the stars.

A white mark with the shape of lotus flower appeared between her brows, and her body that was clothed in holy glow fell and rose in the wind. It was hard to gauge her actual location.

The Empress stood on a broad piece of lotus leaf, and her gaze was bursting with divine lights as she sized up Zhao Xiaoyu.

The move earlier was indeed a great skill that needed no work. Most cultivators that had not attained the state of Huandan would not be able to dodge away from it.

Faced with such strong power, the troops of the army in Shendu City was but a joke. When cultivators had transcended worldliness and attained holiness, mere numbers could not eliminate them.

Unless it was like the peculiar formation used by the army troops back in the ancient times, drawing upon the unknown and unseen force in the heaven and earth, or even to utilize the Qi of blood and Qi of devilry. Only then would they stand a chance against these supernatural beings.

The breeze was free and so was the moon, together they brought refreshing coolness to the Southern Tower.

Shen Lian was not at the tower, but he was at the top of the willow tree. He did not look at the bright moon that rose up behind him.

The massive Qi dynamic of the Empress was more eye-catching than the bright moon, and Zhao Xiaoyu was like the clear breeze that no one could restrain.

The Empress’ eyes changed, and it was as though her haze had taken on a physical form and encapsulated Zhao Xiaoyu within it, rendering everything on her visible. Everything that she was hiding had been exposed.

Shen Lian even had the feeling that the transmission of his breath fell within the Empress’ gaze despite that her attention was not directed at him.

”Your Majesty, your Tianzi Wangqi Technique is impressive,” said Zhao Xiaoyu as her gentle voice drifted in the wind.

Her body melted into the intangible wind. The wind was intangible and without a physical form, any attack from the Empress was moot. However, when the Empress was using ”Tianzi Wangqi Technique”, she could not escape from the Empress’ eyes even if she had become a gust of wind.

Watch its Qi, and restrict its shape.

During the ancient times, there was Saint Tianzi who observed the Qi of four seasons and managed their mountains and rivers; Shen Lian did not expect the Empress to know this technique. He could not see the inheritance of the Empress because the supernatural Dao techniques that she exhibited were pretty similar to that of authentic Xuanmen.

From her movement earlier, one could tell that her physical form was scarily brutal. Her body advanced with the sonic speed of the explosion, the quality of her body was very impressive.

It was obvious that the Empress’ dragon robe and crown was not just any common item, which would explain how they survived the high-speed movement.

Cultivator of Qi could tap into the essence of heaven and earth and trained their physical body, but there was a limit as to how much they can do. If they were to cultivate their physical body till it was indestructible, put aside the amount of effort required, they would need to secure a corresponding Dharma as well.

At the last stage of cultivation right before the attainment of longevity, the body would become dispensable. When the body broke through from the Absurd State, the Primordial Spirit would be formed. Those that gathered would take shape, while those that did not would become Qi and would be able to travel for tens of thousands of miles and be freed of the struggle of life, old age, sickness, and death.

This was why the Daoist addressed the cultivators of Qi who had not attained longevity as corpse-guarding ghosts – a clear illustration of how the physical body was merely playing its final role in the attainment of longevity.
