Chapter 1016: Chapter 1020: Inexplicable

Boom!

The Subduing Demon Palm Seal clashes with the Extreme of Limitless, causing a thunderous explosion to reverberate through heaven and earth.

Faced with the impact of these terrifying forces, the spectators were utterly shocked.

It’s unimaginable that Xia Liu could withstand the palm seal of True Person Qingjue!

Even the Six Pillars were in absolute awe.

To the Six Pillars, Sage Qingjue is as mighty as heaven and earth.

They were convinced that no one in the world could compare to their Honored Master.

Yet, they never expected that their Honored Master’s Subduing Demon Palm would be absorbed!

However, to the slight relief of the Six Pillars, after the Heaven and Earth Totem spun angrily for a moment, cracks began to appear!

Crack!

The sound of breaking was crisp.

Seeing this, Xia Liu formed another seal, this time unleashing the Heaven and Earth Moving Wind!

A mighty strike, the Force of Nature continuously converges, the winds reverse, and the Gang Wind suddenly arises!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The roaring sound shakes heaven and earth.

As the Gang Wind sweeps past, the Subduing Demon Palm Seal remains motionless, although its power weakened slightly.

Xia Liu’s lips twitched involuntarily.

Indeed, the cultivation level of fifteen layers of Qi Cultivation is not something he could match.

At this moment, attempting to shatter the Subduing Demon Palm Seal is impossible.

Helpless, he could only rely on the Taiyi Ultimate Style to reduce the damage.

His exquisite hand probes again, Xia Liu deduces the Eight Trigrams, and the Combat Rotation Stellar Shift Technique reappears!

A renowned move!

“Combat Rotation!”

Faced with the Rigid Law Seal in front of him, Xia Liu reaches out with one empty palm, releasing the real palm, and a pavilion on the shore is instantly shattered by the Rigid Subduing Demon Energy.

But Xia Liu couldn’t completely redirect the energy, in a blink, he was wholly swept by the Subduing Demon Seal.

Boom boom boom!!!

Deep rumbling sounds echoed, Xia Liu’s figure became unstable and flew backward to the shore.

“Puff!”

Opening his mouth, crimson blood sprayed out, staining the pond in front.

This shocking scene brought the crowd to complete silence.

Xia Liu actually endured it!

He did not fall!

The Six Pillars were most shocked, initially thinking Xia Liu would be crushed by the Subduing Demon Palm, but instead, this scene unfolded.

They also recognized Xia Liu’s strange technique of Inhaling Breath and dispersing energy.

First absorbing the energy from the Subduing Demon Palm and then redirecting it elsewhere.

It truly is a terrifying technique.

Yet, his cultivation couldn’t compare to their Honored Master; he couldn’t absorb all the energy from the Subduing Demon Palm.

Finally, he endured the Rigid Law Seal.

Hmm?

Just as Xia Liu wanted to speak, he suddenly perceived a change within his body, his eyes contracted sharply.

“This is… ”

Xia Liu’s palms trembled, indescribable thoughts continuously emerged in his mind.

He didn’t know how to express his feelings at the moment.

“Young Friend Xia, who is your master?”

At this time, a taut-faced Sage Qingjue breathed out and asked.

“My master is not well-known within the realm; perhaps Sage Qingjue might not know him.”

Xia Liu said bitterly.

“Oh? To have raised such a monstrous disciple, it’s impossible for him to be a nameless figure. Please tell your master’s name,”

“My master’s name, it should be Yun Fan.”

Xia Liu wasn’t sure if Yun Fan was the old man’s real name, nor did he know his influence within the realm.

Now, having withstood the Subduing Demon Palm and with the changes within his body indicating that his fate had arrived!

“Venerable Yun Fan!”

Upon hearing the name Yun Fan, Sage Qingjue’s emotions instantly erupted like thunder, echoing over several miles.

The realm instantly quieted down.

Shu Mountain disciples, even the Six Pillars under Qingjue, had never seen their Honored Master this agitated before.

Xia Liu was also utterly bewildered; he somewhat regretted mentioning the old man’s name.

If the old man held a grudge against Sage Qingjue, today might become truly troublesome for him.

“No wonder, no wonder! Hahaha!”

After a long silence, Sage Qingjue suddenly burst into laughter.

At this moment, he lacked the demeanor of a Sect Master of Shu Mountain, even less the dignity of a sovereign.

More so, he was carefree, laughing wildly like a madman.

Sage Qingjue’s behavior left everyone slack-jawed.

Especially the Six Pillars, they were the closest closed-door disciples to Sage Qingjue but had never seen their Honored Master laugh so blissfully, so frantically.

“Sage Qingjue, did the old man cause trouble in Shu Mountain?”

Xia Liu asked awkwardly.

If true, he was indeed put into a difficult position!

“Haha! The disciple of Venerable Yun Fan, truly monstrous! Truly monstrous! Daoist Fellow Xia, I await you at Gathering Spirit Peak.”

Once again laughing like a madman, once again stirring everyone’s emotions, no other sound could be heard.

Even before finishing his words, Sage Qingjue’s divine sense surged, and his longsword spun into the air.

Within the gaze of everyone, they watched as Sage Qingjue flew off controlling his sword.

“This…”

Xia Liu was entirely bewildered, unable to comprehend what Sage Qingjue meant at all.

The Shu Mountain disciples were equally at a loss for words.

They didn’t often see Sage Qingjue but understood his temperament.

Even a slight misrepresentation would cause the dignified Sage Qingjue to direct Five Pillars to the Demon Refining Tower.

The Demon Refining Tower is Shu Mountain’s most terrifying and piercing cultivation method.

While punishing, it also trains Shu Mountain disciples.

To enaction such a stern punishment, how could Sage Qingjue display this incredible side before everyone.

“Daoist Fellow Xia! Quickly go!”

“Daoist Fellow Xia, if you’re overly exhausted, rest a bit, and I’ll lead you there.”

“Gathering Spirit Peak is the Honored Master’s secluded place, no one has visited it in a hundred years; you’re fortunate!”

“Gathering Spirit Peak, truly enviable!”

The Six Pillars expressed their excitement.

Xia Liu was indeed lucky to be invited to Gathering Spirit Peak by the Honored Master.

It’s the sacred peak of Shu Mountain, the place where Sage Qingjue retreats, and no one aside from the Honored Master could tread there.

Even the Six Pillars couldn’t.

“Gathering Spirit Peak, huh…”

Xia Liu murmured as he watched the silhouette gradually disappear ahead.

“I still have energy to go; additionally, I hope you will take care of my two friends…”

Xia Liu glanced at Li Jianguo and Song He, gesturing to the Six Pillars.

“Brother Xia Liu…”

Song He wanted to step forward but lacked any strength; she and he perhaps reached the end…

Two people from different worlds couldn’t possibly continue…

“Don’t worry, Daoist Fellow Xia, hurry and go, don’t keep the Honored Master waiting…”

Zhu Yi understood Xia Liu’s concern and promptly assured him.

“Alright, I’ll trouble you all…”

Xia Liu respectfully clasped his fists and then his divine sense surged, the Flowing Fire Sword appeared out of thin air.

As the seal decree rose and fell, Xia Liu rode the sword away, transforming into a trail of fiery light chasing after Sage Qingjue.

“Senior Xia can actually use sword flight!”

“It’s terrifying! Senior Xia, at such a young age, could already perform like Sage Qingjue!”

“Heavenly Mansion Chief! Chief Xia!”

“Truly terrifying!”

…

Facing that gradually disappearing silhouette, Song He slowly loosened the grip of her tightly clenched hand.

Before him, she was as fragile as a vase, with no qualification to engage more deeply with him…

Li Jianguo witnessed Song He’s actions entirely.

Watching the direction of Xia Liu’s disappearance, he sighed deeply, some people, some things, exist in separate worlds, merely intersect momentarily, and the future returns to separate worlds…
