“Senior Brother, am I seeing things? The technique that man just used seems to be our Dao Mountain Ancient Land’s Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique.” A disciple exclaimed upon catching sight of Li Changqing’s figure.
The Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique was a formidable movement technique within the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, typically only mastered by inner disciples.
This was because their internal strength was robust enough to support the execution of such a powerful technique.
Disciples like them, who were merely outer disciples, could only look on with envy.
Most of them were unable to comprehend this technique. Even those with good comprehension skills could not sustain it due to their insufficient internal strength, exhausting it after just a couple of uses.
It was quite a predicament.
“You’re right, it is indeed the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique, and it’s even faster than what I’ve seen the outer sect elders perform.” Another disciple nodded in astonishment.
However, Li Changqing was wearing a mask, making it impossible for them to identify him.
“Perhaps it’s one of the Peak Masters from the thirty-six peaks.” They speculated, unable to think of anyone else capable of mastering the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique to such an extent.
In less than the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Li Changqing had already arrived at the entrance of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
Upon his first visit to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Li Changqing was genuinely awestruck by the massive gate before him.
The colossal gate made Li Changqing feel as insignificant as a small boat in the vast ocean.
At the same time, Li Changqing could sense the surging Spiritual Power and numerous powerful presences emanating from within the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
There were indeed many experts within.
Moreover, the Dao Mountain Ancient Land was so vast that it spanned across an entire mountain range. Not to mention the thirty-six peaks, which were incredibly expansive, even larger than a city when combined.
Li Changqing wanted to go directly to find Li Hengsheng, but he found himself in a predicament.
Where was Li Hengsheng?
He knew from the letter that Li Hengsheng lived in Qingyu Mountain, but where was Qingyu Mountain?
There were no signs or directions here.
What’s more, Li Changqing realized he didn’t even know what his son looked like!
There were no photographs here.
Without the memories of the original Li Changqing, he wouldn’t even recognize his son if they passed each other.
What was he to do?
The only person he knew in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land was Xu Muhai, but he couldn’t find him either.
At this thought, Li Changqing felt there was a method he could try.
Li Changqing slowly closed his eyes, focusing intently.
The whole world seemed to become ethereal.
In the silence, Li Changqing sensed a familiar aura. He looked in the direction from which the aura was emanating.
That should be his destination.
There was the aura of the Earth Zang Bodhisattva.
The Earth Zang Bodhisattva he had carved contained his Divine Soul power, so Li Changqing could sense the slight fluctuations from it.
As long as he knew the direction, Li Changqing could find Xu Muhai.
So, Li Changqing once again executed the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique, his figure disappearing at the entrance of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
The disciple guarding the entrance of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land only felt a breeze, seeing nothing out of the ordinary.
“Did something just pass by?” A disciple asked in confusion.
He touched his face, feeling that something was off.
“What are you talking about? You must be dreaming,” the other disciples laughed.
“You should drink less during the day. Now you’re hallucinating,” a disciple mocked, “Do you really think someone would dare to intrude into our Dao Mountain Ancient Land in the middle of the night?”
“Perhaps you’re right.” The disciple nodded, dismissing his earlier suspicion as a misperception.
“You should drink less tomorrow.”
Once inside the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Li Changqing was struck by its complexity.
Endless mountain ranges, grand halls, courtyards, mansions, and caves were everywhere.
He could only sense a general direction and had to proceed with caution.
There were patrolling disciples everywhere, and even some experts close to the innate realm. This was far more than what he had seen at the Yunling Sect.
“It’s so vast.”
After crossing several mountains, Li Changqing still felt that his destination was far away.
And the mountains he had just crossed were guarded by powerful beings. He had almost been discovered several times, so Li Changqing decided to be more careful in the future.
If he were discovered, he would be at a loss for words.
“Is it easy being a father?” Li Changqing sighed helplessly, “Xu Muhai really lives quite far away.”
The patrol teams of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land seemed to have no idea that someone had infiltrated their territory.
Indeed, Li Changqing’s execution of the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique had reached a very exquisite realm, probably ranking among the top in the entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land.After struggling for an hour, Li Changqing finally felt that he was getting closer to Xu Muhai.
“What a fragrant smell.”
Suddenly, Li Changqing caught a whiff of a delicious aroma.
Li Changqing leaped and hid in a bush, from where he saw two figures drinking and eating meat on a cliff.
The bonfire illuminated the surroundings, and a duck was roasting over the fire.
The two sat facing each other, chatting and clinking their wine glasses. Both of them were strong, at least in Li Changqing’s perception, they were stronger than Lin Shengnan.
Two experts stronger than Lin Shengnan?
He decided to avoid them.
Li Changqing originally planned to take a different path up the mountain, then cross the mountain and go straight to Mu Haifeng. But as he was about to turn around, he smelled the roasted duck.
As someone who hadn’t eaten all day, Li Changqing’s stomach involuntarily growled.
Even Fei, who had been quietly perched on Li Changqing’s shoulder, gave him a disdainful look.
“I’m done for.”
Li Changqing didn’t hold any hope that the two hadn’t heard his stomach growl. These two were innate-level powerhouses, how could they not hear his stomach rumbling.
“Who’s there!”
As expected, a voice like a lion’s roar came, and the sound even cut through the weeds!
The sound wave rippled through the air and hit Li Changqing’s ears, attempting to shake his Divine Soul!
Li Changqing’s Divine Soul also rippled, but it had no effect on him.
He moved and fled into the distance.
Seeing that his roar didn’t stop Li Changqing, the powerhouse was obviously surprised.
This person’s Divine Soul is strong!
Otherwise, even if his cultivation was higher, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand his roar without any reaction.
Fortunately, when Li Changqing was preparing to escape, another figure had already taken action.
His figure was like a snake in the water, directly blocking Li Changqing’s path.
The man’s face was somewhat pale, as if he was malnourished, but his attack showed no signs of weakness.
He clawed at the empty air, and claw marks formed a large net in the air, slashing towards Li Changqing.
“They’re trying to kill me!”
Li Changqing exclaimed, these two didn’t hold back at all.
A green light flashed under his feet, and Li Changqing suddenly burst forth, using his Martial Arts to move so fast that his shadow was hard to catch. He bypassed the giant net and arrived at a small hillside behind.
“Phew!”
Li Changqing also let out a sigh of relief.
These two were really not easy to deal with.
“He used the Five Extremes Seal.”
Seeing Li Changqing use the Martial Arts, the two were also surprised.
The mysterious man in front of them, wearing a strange mask and carrying a dog on his shoulder, could actually use the Five Extremes Seal of Dao Mountain Ancient Land?
Could this person also be from Dao Mountain Ancient Land?
But no matter who it was, appearing here in the middle of the night wearing a mask was not normal.
“Who are you?” Hong Xiuyang stared at Li Changqing and asked.
He tried to identify Li Changqing by his figure, but after a long time, he had no impression.
Hong Xiuyang was an old powerhouse among the thirty-six Peak Masters, and he knew everyone in Dao Mountain Ancient Land, but he had no impression of the person in front of him.
“I’m just passing by, looking for someone, I mean no harm to your sect.” Li Changqing had to explain to the two.
“This person is suspicious, and he can use the Five Extremes Seal of our Dao Mountain Ancient Land. It’s better to capture him first.” The somewhat pale man’s eyes flashed with a cold light.
Then he exchanged a glance with Hong Xiuyang.
Both of them were Peak Master-level experts, and they were also good friends. They understood each other’s intentions with just one look.
Before Li Changqing could continue explaining, the two attacked together!
Hong Xiuyang roared, his robust body like a bear, his roar erupted again, this time even more intense than before.
And this time, it was not just a roar, it also contained a different kind of power.
Li Changqing saw chains rushing towards him, sealing his surroundings.
This scene was familiar to Li Changqing, it was the same as when Xu Muhai used the Five Extremes Seal in his palm attack.
This person was also using the Five Extremes Seal.
Li Changqing only understood this technique after copying Xu Muhai’s Five Extremes Seal.
This was the unique Martial Arts of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
Only special paintings could be used to comprehend it, and the so-called Five Extremes Seal had five levels.The first level is the Divine Step, which even postnatal martial artists can perform. It is indestructible and possesses the power of a thousand catties.
It enhances one’s speed, defense, and strength.
It can briefly unleash the potential of the physical body.
The second level, Yuan Lock, can seal a person’s own Qi and innate true Yuan.
The third level, Body Lock, as the name suggests, locks a person’s physical body.
The fourth level is Soul Lock. Upon reaching this level, one can seal the enemy’s Divine Soul. This step is extremely difficult to cultivate.
Even Xu Muhai can’t do it.
The fifth level is the legendary Eternal Realm.
Rumor has it that upon reaching this level, one can even temporarily seal space-time.
However, this is just a legend. Throughout the history of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, only Dao Mountain Ancestor has ever reached this level.
Unfortunately, this is only recorded in text, and no one has ever truly witnessed what it’s like to seal space-time.
Even so, the Five Absolute Seals, with its first four levels, is very powerful. In a real fight, the Five Absolute Seals may not completely seal an opponent of the same level, but even a slight influence can be a killing blow.
At this moment, Hong Xiuyang and the pale-faced man actually teamed up to use the Five Absolute Seals, attempting to immobilize Li Changqing.
One person couldn’t control Li Changqing, so two teamed up!
“Body Lock!”
Hong Zhen’s lion roar couldn’t do much to Li Changqing, but the Body Lock performed by the two of them together caused Li Changqing to see several thick chains directly binding his body.
However, Li Changqing didn’t feel restrained.
This was indeed because their realms were too different.
Although Li Changqing couldn’t determine what level his Divine Soul had reached, the idea of trapping him with the Body Lock performed by the two of them was a bit of a joke.
So, with a shake of his robe, Li Changqing broke all the chains, shattering them as easily as if they were made of foam.
As the chains shattered, the two of them stepped back a few steps, they didn’t expect that even their combined efforts couldn’t shake this man.
“Gentlemen, I must take my leave.”
Li Changqing wasn’t interested in playing with them, and he was also worried about attracting more people, so he turned and left!
“Don’t go!”
The two of them were quite shocked by Li Changqing’s cultivation.
But they couldn’t let Li Changqing run wild in the sect.
