Chapter 293: Chapter 292: The Pause in Thought, Both Heaven and Earth Apertures Appear (Seeking Subscriptions) *This strike! It was comparable to the full power strike of a late-stage Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master!* However, Zhou Qing’s strength was not merely at the late-stage Enlightenment Realm. He was the leader of a sect, and his power reached the peak of the Enlightenment Realm. The magic he cast at this moment was not an ordinary magic, but one of the three great secret skills of the Immortal Martial Sect, known as the strongest defense spell of the Grand Daoist Sect today, the Immortal Martial Glowing Light. The immensely powerful Twelve Ice Flame Lotus Platform struck the seemingly thin Immortal Martial Glowing Light like an egg hitting a rock, quickly dissipating and melting away. The ice flames dispersed, and the light of the Immortal Martial Glowing Light only dimmed slightly, without being breached at all. Bai Ziyue’s face changed. Even though he had already known the opponent’s might, truly facing it still filled him with endless terror and helplessness, leaving him alarmed. However, at this point, he had no way out. All he could do was to sustain himself as best as he could, holding on for sixty breaths, waiting for the rescue from the Sunrise Daoist Sect. However, only nine breaths had passed, with fifty-one more to go. Meanwhile, because of using the Burning Yuan Technique, his innate true energy had actually been depleted. It was only because of the soul energy support in the attribute panel that his innate true energy and spiritual power seemed to be continuously replenished. Of course, consequently, his soul energy diminished rapidly. Almost every breath evaporated a full ten thousand points of soul energy. Fortunately, he still had a sufficient amount of soul energy. Even though the enhancement for the Treasure-Setting Divine Light had consumed 140,000 points, he still had 860,000 left, enough to sustain him! With the thought flashing through his mind, Bai Ziyue’s expression remained unchanged. He gathered his innate true energy again, swung his long blade, and rapidly slashed out. Godslaying Saber Technique! As he unleashed this strike, his spiritual power also fluctuated intensely, with spiritual power boiling like a rushing river, rapidly surging in. A pale blue ice flame formed in the void and shot rapidly towards Zhou Qing. "Is it a futile struggle? Then I shall fulfill your wish." Zhou Qing’s eyes opened and closed, ignoring Bai Ziyue’s attack. As his terrifying aura spread, with a thought, the Cyan Bamboo Sword transformed into a flash of lightning, shooting forward. Simultaneously, he stretched out his hand, retrieving a small cyan flag. With a slight wave, three green wolves emerged with roaring sounds and charged forward. Facing the Cyan Bamboo Sword, Bai Ziyue effortlessly unleashed a Treasure-Setting Divine Light, then raised his palm as soon as the divine light surged out and slapped down fiercely. Immortal Martial Hand Seal! After delivering the slap, Bai Ziyue didn’t bother to check the result. He reached out and extracted a black cloth banner. With a shake of the banner, countless main souls transformed into terrifying fierce ghosts, charging straight at the three green wolves. Each of these three green wolves, refined from the demon souls of Spirit Communication Demons after being slain, barely retained the fighting capability of early-stage Innate Realm martial artists, though not as strong as during their prime. But Bai Ziyue’s Soul-Gathering Banner, after his refinement, had reached the level of a top-level dharma artifact. The upper limit of its eighty-one main souls was correspondingly elevated. With the nourishment and enhancement from purchased Soul-locking Beads, they all reached the level of Inner Power Realm martial artists, equating to fierce ghosts. The eighty-one main souls, equivalent to fierce ghosts, emanated Yin Qi upon appearing, surging mightily, truly having an overwhelming presence. Despite being at a disadvantage against the three green wolves, they could barely maintain their stance without immediate defeat. On the other hand, having suffered once, Zhou Qing was unlikely to make the same mistake again. Just as the Treasure-Setting Divine Light was about to fall upon the Cyan Bamboo Sword, it suddenly turned sharply, vanished out of sight, and evaded directly, then dashed down on the Immortal Martial Hand Seal like a lightning bolt. With a faint pause, the Cyan Bamboo Sword pierced through, arriving above Bai Ziyue’s head, slicing down ruthlessly. Boom! The spirit light shield shattered in the blink of an eye. The protective golden light from Bai Ziyue’s Invincible Golden Body Technique trembled violently and dimmed rapidly, yet ultimately it returned without success. The power of the Immortal Martial Hand Seal was formidable, ultimately blocking most of the Cyan Bamboo Sword’s might. Coupled with the protection of his protective golden light, it barely held off this terrifying strike. "Again!" Bai Ziyue relaxed his mind, his eyes turned frenzied in an instant, and with a touch of his hand, he retrieved another handful of talismans. These talismans were all he had left on him. Without any hesitation, countless talismans were activated. Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless Thunderfall, Ice Blades, and flames stirred the boundless storm, rapidly surging towards Zhou Qing. "It’s useless. Today, you are doomed to die." Zhou Qing allowed the multitude of talismans to strike him. Whether it was Thunderfall, Ice Blades, or flames, none could shake the Immortal Martial Glowing Light on him in the slightest. With the Immortal Martial Dao Skill, Immortal Martial True Body, coupled with the Immortal Martial Glowing Light, his defense was truly like a turtle shell, impossible for an average person to shake. One must understand, the synergy of these three secret skills, when cultivated to a certain extent, was comparable to Divine Techniques. The defense capability at the Divine Power Level couldn’t be breached by mere First-grade Talismans. Even though these First-grade Talismans were incredibly powerful, not a whit weaker than Second-grade Talismans. After speaking, Zhou Qing circulated his primordial power within, gently pointed forward, and the Cyan Bamboo Sword shot out once again, slashing down like a flash of lightning. Without a sound or breath, his eyes opened and closed, releasing an invisible divine light that suddenly burst forth from his brow. Spiritual Sense Attack Spell, Star Soul Devouring Skill! Bai Ziyue struck out with his palm again, slightly mitigating the Cyan Bamboo Sword’s attack, then he once more summoned a magical artifact. Top-level Magical Artifact, Mountain and River Seal! The Golden Light Sword was destroyed; apart from the Circulation Inference Mirror and the Alchemy Furnace, which were used for support, all he had left was the Mountain and River Seal. The Mountain and River Seal transformed into a small mountain, heading toward the Cyan Bamboo Sword, and amidst violent trembling, it flew back in retreat. The Cyan Bamboo Sword once again returned fruitlessly, and Bai Ziyue took this opportunity to cast the Spirit Shield Technique, raising the protective golden light once more. Suddenly, an inexplicable and terrifying feeling arose, causing Bai Ziyue’s heart to jolt. Almost instinctively, he unleashed the Shocking God Stab. The Shocking God Stab had just rushed out of his body when it collided with Zhou Qing’s Celestial Demon Soul Devouring Skill. "Buzz..." When the two spiritual attacks collided, they quickly canceled each other out. In the end, Zhou Qing’s strength was superior, the Celestial Demon Soul Devouring Skill had the upper hand, and after consuming a small portion of its power, it plunged into Bai Ziyue’s body. Buzz! In an instant, Bai Ziyue felt boundless pain arise in his mind. Under the influence of this pain, his Spiritual Power, will, and consciousness seemed as if they were on the brink of being scattered. His eyes grew dark, and all perception vanished, plunging his thoughts into a standstill. "Am I going to die?" *A terrible thought had just surfaced, when suddenly, he felt two bright lights, like natural gateways, positioned at both ends.* "Gateways? What are those?" *Bai Ziyue’s consciousness quickly gathered, and as if by intuition, touched these two bright lights separately.* Boom! Boom! *It was as if new worlds had been opened up.* In an instant, he sensed a difference. *Originally, the pain in his Heart Spirit lessened rapidly and his perception of the world, the subtlety in using Magic, and various realizations quickly emerged in his heart.* *It felt as if the entire world had undergone an inexplicable change.* *To him, it was no longer the same.* "The Heaven and Earth Acupoints, these are the Heaven and Earth Acupoints." *Bai Ziyue felt immense joy in his heart, suddenly understanding that this was the key breakthrough point between the Ninth Layer of Qi Cultivation Stage Immortal Cultivator and the Enlightenment Realm. The critical chance for breakthrough, the gate to break through the realm.* "I never thought that in this fierce battle I would turn misfortune into fortune, comprehending the Heaven and Earth Acupoints. From now on, the barrier between Qi Cultivation Stage and Enlightenment Realm is no longer a problem for me. I don’t even need a Barrier-Breaking Pill or an Enlightenment Pill, as I can naturally cross the barrier and step into a new realm, becoming an Enlightenment Immortal Master." It was only then that Bai Ziyue’s spirit recovered, and his thoughts awoke. He opened his eyes just in time to see the Cyan Bamboo Sword already hovering above his head. *Though it seemed like a long time had passed, perceiving the Heaven and Earth Acupoints actually took just the thousandth of a moment.* Crisis appeared once again; even though Bai Ziyue had not formally broken through to the Enlightenment Realm, he was no longer as panicked as before. A pale white light soared skyward. A mass of ice flame gracefully rose. A saber light, like a black band, flashed and disappeared. Treasure-Setting Divine Light! Ice Flame Technique! Godslaying Saber Technique! Buzz! The Cyan Bamboo Sword halted and was soon enveloped by the ice flame. As spiritual energy continually dissipated, the saber light had already descended, slashing fiercely on the sword’s body. Clang! With a crisp sound, the Cyan Bamboo Sword shattered and recoiled in retreat. *At this moment, Bai Ziyue applied various Magic powers. Although the power seemed unchanged, the combination and speed of casting the spells had notably increased.* *His thoughts had reached a certain extreme.* *His spirit and consciousness were hardly inferior to those of an Enlightenment Realm Immortal Master.* *Perhaps the only things lacking were spiritual energy replenishment and spiritual power transformation...* "Hmm? Why isn’t he dead yet?" *Zhou Qing showed a shocked expression.* *He was genuinely astounded by Bai Ziyue’s resilience. The numerous spells and techniques seemed endless, as if he was the unkillable cockroach. Even though Zhou Qing’s strength surpassed Bai Ziyue’s, he could not defeat him.* *However, beyond this, what surprised him even more was Bai Ziyue’s Innate True Qi and spiritual power. They seemed excessively abundant.* *He knew very well Bai Ziyue was currently employing the Burning Yuan Technique.* *Supposedly, given Bai Ziyue’s Martial Arts Realm and Immortal Technique strength, he could sustain it for a maximum of ten breaths.* *But now, after fifteen breaths had passed, Bai Ziyue’s life aura still did not wane; it was as vigorous as before. He could still unleash various perilous attack methods, something Zhou Qing found hard to believe.*
