Chapter 1202: The Dao Sect's Primordial One Qi (Fourth Update)
Qin Mu's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately changed his technique, transforming into the Tribulation-Severing Sword to slay the Heavenly Dipper Star Ancient God, forcefully breaking through the Earthly Fiend Star Ancient God to prevent the Heavenly Dippers and Earthly Fiends from encircling him.
At that moment, even more stars filled the sky, and the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Grand Formation transformed into the Circumambient Star Deity Grand Formation, a heavenly net and earthly snare rushing toward him!
Qin Mu swept out a single Tribulation-Answering Sword, and the Circumambient Star Deities were struck!
His sword path was immensely powerful.
In terms of cultivation, he was absolutely the most profound among those of the Yankang Reformation; no one could compare to him, not even Lin Xuan Dao Lord, whose sword techniques were exquisitely subtle and whose mathematical calculations were profoundly deep, could contend with his dharma power.
His dharma power surpassed Lin Xuan's by far too much!
However, just as the Circumambient Star Deities were destroyed, countless stars converged, and with a thunderous boom, an incalculable number of stars were compressed together, forming calamity stars!
Calamity stars were immensely heavy, among the heaviest stars in the universe. These anomalous stars rotated at extreme speeds, often unleashing terrifying rays of light in the cosmos, like sword beams, annihilating everything in their path!
Lin Xuan's sword light flickered, and over a dozen calamity stars spun wildly around Qin Mu, while countless shocking sword beams slashed down at him simultaneously!
Qin Mu raised his sword to block, and a rapid series of clanging sounds rang out as he actually shattered those dozen-plus calamity stars with sheer force!
Yet in the next moment, Lin Xuan Dao Lord's sword tip moved, and the shattered calamity stars coalesced, suddenly forming a great abyss that devoured everything, and with a swoosh, it swallowed Qin Mu whole!
That place seemed like the end of the universe, akin to a black hole, devouring and dissolving everything!
"The Guixu Great Abyss! Even the great path divine abilities of Guixu can be evolved by your mathematical calculations?"
Qin Mu's voice came from within the great abyss, and the power of his sword domain erupted fully. The Guixu Great Abyss formed by Lin Xuan Dao Lord's sword light collapsed and disintegrated, and it seemed Qin Mu was about to break free.
Lin Xuan Dao Lord held his sword in his right hand, formed a sword seal with his left, and wiped it along the blade to the tip, speaking in a deep voice: "Ten thousand paths return to one, Primordial One Qi!"
Whoosh—
He thrust his sword forward, just as Qin Mu emerged from the Guixu Great Abyss.
The sword light was incredibly fast, arriving before Qin Mu in an instant.
Qin Mu had no time to swing his sword. He held it in his right hand, brought it behind his back, and formed a sword seal with his left hand, pressing it vertically against his brow. His voice was deep and low: "Divine Treasury, open—"
Lin Xuan Dao Lord's strike was extremely swift, and with a ding, it struck the tip of Qin Mu's left middle finger. A drop of blood flowed from his fingertip, sliding down along the blade.
At the same time, Qin Mu's Divine Treasury domain erupted, ten thousand paths roared, surging outward with terrifying force!
Qin Mu's left sword seal pressed against the tip of Lin Xuan Dao Lord's sword, and he thrust the seal forward.
Boom—
His celestial palaces thundered, the Ancestral Court, Mystic Capital, Nether Capital, Primordial Capital, Four Extremes Heavens, and all realms and worlds, countless great paths resonated together, surging with this sword seal. The vast power sent Lin Xuan Dao Lord and his Dao sword flying high into the air.
The sword light around Lin Xuan Dao Lord collapsed and disintegrated, and the Primordial One Qi within the sword shattered layer by layer!
A series of explosive sounds came as Lin Xuan's Dao robe burst apart all over his body. He and his sword crashed backward, slamming into a cliff face with a thunderous boom.
Fortunately, Qin Mu restrained his force in time and did not severely wound him, but the impact still caused blood to spray from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. His Dao robe was riddled with holes, barely covering him.
The cliff cracked and crumbled under the impact, and then Lin Xuan Dao Lord fell from the cliff wall, landing spread-eagled in the dust.
Qin Mu was startled and quickly stepped forward to check his injuries, but suddenly Lin Xuan Dao Lord sprang up like a whirlwind, tossing his Dao sword far away. He danced and ran wildly, ecstatic, shouting joyfully: "I wounded him!"
Qin Mu was stunned.
He saw Lin Xuan Dao Lord, wearing a tattered Dao robe full of holes, with blood streaming from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, running joyfully and shouting: "I made him bleed! I stabbed him with my sword! Hahahaha! The invincible Lord Qin, wounded by my sword, wounded by the Dao Sect's sword!"
The Dao Sect's disciples looked at each other in bewilderment.
Their sect leader was sprinting wildly, running all over the mountains, shouting joyfully, as if extremely pleased.
But his Dao robe could barely hide his body, and from behind, one could even see his bare white buttocks.
Many female Daoists quickly covered their faces, unable to bear looking, but still peeked through their fingers.
Qin Mu's face flushed red as he went to intercept Lin Xuan: "Fellow Daoist, you only pricked my fingertip, but I beat you half to death. Logically, I won. Why are you celebrating as if you defeated me..."
Lin Xuan Dao Lord put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "Wounding you counts as my victory! Xu Shenghua is so formidable, and Wang Muran the Immortal is so impressive, but neither of them has ever wounded you. Only I have! I am better than them!"
Qin Mu stammered: "But I am still stronger. What are you so happy about..."
Lin Xuan Dao Lord was ecstatic: "I wounded Mu Tianzun! No one else could do it, only I could! Not even Xu Shenghua could do it! I am the male, and he is the female!"
Qin Mu coughed and reminded him: "You are barely clothed now..."
"I was born naked, what do I fear?" Lin Xuan Dao Lord could not suppress his excitement.
Qin Mu sighed. Lin Xuan Dao Lord must have been too stimulated by the shock and had lost his mind a little.
"Could Xu Shenghua have driven him to this state?"
Qin Mu felt a bit resentful toward Xu Shenghua and thought to himself: "After all, he is the female Overlord Body, unlike me. I always act with restraint..."
Lin Xuan Dao Lord was excited for a long time, running wildly all over the mountain, until an old Daoist finally brought a Dao robe and dressed their sect leader.
Only then did Lin Xuan calm down. His face flushed slightly, then returned to normal, becoming the unflappable Dao Sect leader again. He said apologetically: "I was a bit out of line just now. Please do not take offense, Lord Qin."
Qin Mu smiled and said: "You nearly scared the Daoists on the mountain to death."
Lin Xuan Dao Lord laughed and said: "That is how our Dao Sect is—true to emotion and nature, not bound by trivialities."
Qin Mu knew he was trying to save face but did not expose him. He said: "I would like to study under you for a while. Please teach me, fellow Daoist."
Lin Xuan Dao Lord could hardly suppress his smile and said: "How could I refuse?"
The Dao Sect's disciples had not yet recovered from their sect leader's wild shouting. Lin Xuan Dao Lord gave a stern shout and admonished them: "As Daoists, it is important to remain unruffled by favor or disgrace, but being true to emotion and nature is the true self, the true person! Your cultivation is insufficient. Each of you, face the wall for three days!"
The disciples obeyed and went to face the walls.
But their sect leader still could not hide his excitement and joy. As he walked forward, he muttered to himself: "I wounded him, I made him bleed, hehe... I wounded Mu Tianzun! Ahem, Lord Qin, this way, please!"
Qin Mu stayed at the Dao Sect for over ten days, learning Lin Xuan Dao Lord's grand mathematical Dao domain. However, his main purpose was still Lin Xuan's Primordial One Qi!
Primordial One Qi was the great path of the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor, extremely mysterious. Besides the Ten Heavenly Venerables, the only one who had seen the Heavenly Emperor's physical body was the Dao Ancestor of the Dao Sect.
The Dao Ancestor had taught Lin Xuan, which was why Lin Xuan's Primordial One Qi was so powerful, even wounding Qin Mu with his final strike.
If Qin Mu had not activated his Divine Treasury domain at the critical moment, it would not have been just a pricked fingertip—he might have been severely wounded by Lin Xuan!
The Dao Ancestor used macroscopic mathematical calculations to structure the Primordial One Qi, while Lin Xuan supplemented it with microscopic mathematical calculations. This was currently the closest approximation to the true Primordial One Qi.
Qin Mu studied very seriously, asking questions whenever he did not understand.
Lin Xuan Dao Lord also took this opportunity to ask him many things, and Qin Mu taught him the new spiritual embryo cultivation system he had realized.
Lin Xuan was stunned, unable to speak for a long time. After a while, he came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said: "This technique and cultivation system of yours can only be cultivated by you for now. I cannot learn it."
Qin Mu asked in surprise: "Why?"
