"Not bad, this Martial Arts is enough for you to look down on your peers. But... in front of me, it's still insufficient."
The previous strike was merely a test from Lin Qiubai; his full strength is the Five Thousand Ice Flame Blood Spear. Even more than that.
However, Lin Qiubai clearly did not want to use his bombardment techniques.
Slightly mindless and lacking in skill.
With a thought, a Longsword appeared in Lin Qiubai's hand, its steel patterns resembling falling pear blossoms.
There is no weapon more agile than a sword in close quarters.
His gaze fell upon the Blood Zephyr Dragon, and Lin Qiubai became serious. He raised the Longsword, his figure flashing as he struck at the Blood Zephyr Dragon's vital point.
The Vitality Longsword collided with the Crystal Prism, sending sparks flying.
Ice flames surged wildly on the blade, slowly cutting downward.
Yet this did not strike the flesh of the Blood Zephyr Dragon!
"My Martial Arts are originally Supreme Grade Martial Arts, of extremely high quality. When attached to the Blood Marsh Heavenly Python, it formed a unique pattern, enhancing its sturdiness even further. In terms of quality, it is not inferior to your Blood Battle in Hell.
Moreover, it possesses the ability to absorb Martial Arts, allowing it to rival Holy-Level Martial Arts!"
Zhuang Bifan wore a beaming smile; he had to thank Lin Qiubai for this. Under Lin Qiubai's immense pressure, he had finally unlocked his potential and improved this innate Martial Arts!
At this moment, he felt utterly elated.
However, he quickly fixed his gaze on Lin Qiubai, realizing that he must completely defeat Lin Qiubai to truly revel in his triumph.
"Is that so?"
Lin Qiubai nodded. Zhuang Bifan's progress had put a bit of pressure on him. His martial arts indeed needed an upgrade!
But did he really think that the current Blood Zephyr Dragon could not be crushed?!
Lin Qiubai snorted, and the Longsword shone brightly. His Dantian's Nine Whirlpools operated at full capacity, gathering a torrent of vitality into the sword, compressing, condensing, and compressing again!
At that moment, the Longsword became almost tangible.
Beneath the calm sword body lay a hidden fury of energy!
It could cut through anything.
Lin Qiubai shot forward, one foot stepping onto the Void. The Void erupted, and space shattered inch by inch. His body plummeted like a meteor at high speed, crashing into the double-enhanced Blood Zephyr Dragon as he swung the Longsword.
Slash!
The indestructible Blood Zephyr Dragon was cleaved in half with a mournful wail.
Lin Qiubai passed through the broken shell and landed on the ground, his Longsword climbing up the dense cracks that were forming, pieces falling away...
The scene was shocking.
Zhuang Bifan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with disbelief.
The other Saint Sect Disciples looked at Lin Qiubai in shock, their legs going weak.
The elder's eyelids twitched violently, secretly lamenting his misjudgment.
When that sword struck down, it could even threaten the life of a Creation Realm early-stage warrior!
Zhuang Bifan's Blood Marsh Heavenly Python had already astonished him beyond measure!
Lin Qiubai's terrifying strike, purely relying on brute force, felt like being struck by lightning, a deafening buzz ringing in his ears.
He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"I actually lost..."
Zhuang Bifan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, murmuring as he looked at Lin Qiubai with a complex expression.
He thought he was about to succeed, but unexpectedly, Lin Qiubai had completely defeated his double-enhanced Blood Marsh Heavenly Python without using any Martial Arts!
This left him feeling extremely frustrated.
He was a Second Body, yet he was repeatedly suppressed by Lin Qiubai!
How could he bear it?!
"If it weren't for my sudden surge in cultivation, I would probably be the one losing this time."
In order to sever the double-enhanced Blood Zephyr Dragon, Lin Qiubai unleashed his full power.
The Nine Whirlpools surged wildly, releasing energy. If it weren't for the Meridian being reshaped once again, he likely wouldn't have been able to withstand such a wild operation.
Even so, at this moment, he felt his entire Meridian twitching. Clearly, the burden was immense, nearly exceeding its limits.
"You are already strong; your self-created Martial Arts possesses great spirit. You have put pressure on me. Moreover, the existence of an opponent does not require a clear victory or defeat; it is enough that they urge you to keep moving forward."
Lin Qiubai tossed out two Healing Elixir and slowly walked towards his residence, as he had too many things that needed careful contemplation.
After washing away the superficiality, what awaited him would be a complete transformation!
…………
Sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, Lin Qiubai did not practice. At this stage, he did not need to pursue a sudden increase in cultivation, as he was only half a step away from the Creation Realm.
He had also promised the master of Cloud Pavilion that during the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, he would compete for the sect's Fortune with his Yuan Dan Realm cultivation.
So there was no need to rush for a breakthrough.
There were various ways to quickly enhance combat power at present.
One option was to purchase a suitable Spirit-Level High-Grade Artifact. The quality had to be high; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to withstand Lin Qiubai's infusion of energy.
Lin Qiubai had considered starting to refine one himself, but that required careful preparation of materials and could not solve the immediate problem.
He could only put it off for later.
Secondly, it is to find some high-quality Martial Arts. This point... Lin Qiubai has a way; he can just wander around the Holy Sect or the Imperial Capital for a week.
Thirdly, there is the formation path. Lin Qiubai's foundation in formations is quite outstanding; he only needs to sort through the contents of the Heritage Crystal and comprehend a portion to gain another identity.
In battle, if he can unexpectedly unleash a massive array of formations, it would be a significant advantage.
Fourthly, there is the Alchemical Path. If he can have a continuous supply of Elixirs to replenish or even enhance his combat power, it would also be a tremendous boost for Lin Qiubai.
Of course, this method of stimulating potential for combat enhancement can only be used as a trump card.
Lin Qiubai closed his eyes and thought methodically.
There are still more than twenty days until the Taishan Fengshan Ceremony. If these twenty days are wasted, the loss would be immense.
Cultivation is inherently about seizing every moment.
In ten days, it is not difficult to elevate his combat power to another level.
Just like Zhuang Bifan, who suddenly had an epiphany and comprehended the dual-enhanced version of Heavenly Zephyr Blood Python, which made Lin Qiubai exert considerable effort.
So right now, the focus should be on the formation path as the main pursuit, with the Alchemical Path as a supplement for cultivation.
Lin Qiubai closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually stabilized. In the Sea of Consciousness, countless pieces of information about formations floated scattered in various corners.
He was waiting for Lin Qiubai to connect them organically.
As the Supreme Heavenly Dao of formations, Lin Qiubai does not lack comprehension. Over two years of experience, he has been using formations consistently, albeit at the most basic level.
But these practices allowed Lin Qiubai to accumulate a wealth of experience.
When he encountered the self-contained system of Formation Knowledge, he suddenly understood everything, and one insight led to another!
The chaotic fragments of memories in the Sea of Consciousness slowly gathered, being devoured and absorbed by Lin Qiubai.
After a long time, Lin Qiubai rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight pressure building there.
"Is it the One Thought Teleportation Array Technique?"
Lin Qiubai opened his eyes in surprise. This formation was created by the master of the Heritage Crystal for combat, allowing for the rapid assembly of a Teleportation Array to achieve Celestial Shift.
At critical moments, it could enable instantaneous movement to evade deadly attacks.
It could allow one to appear behind an opponent and execute a surprise attack!
Of course, mastering this formation and using it flexibly in battle required considerable talent.
However, this point was completely ignored by Lin Qiubai.
As a practitioner of the Supreme Heavenly Dao of formations, how could his talent be lacking?
