Cultivation techniques are inanimate, but people are alive.
This statent ca from the mouth of Ming Rui, a warrior at the Divinity Realm who had defected from the Mountain River Academy and sought refuge with the Daqian philosophy.
It is people who cultivate the techniques, not the techniques that shape people. Ming Rui and Lu Qingzhu’s revisions of philosophical cultivation techniques provided the largest corroboration for this statent.
Only diocre practitioners are constrained by their techniques. The true warriors can turn Buddhist Law into its very antithesis, sorcery.
Qing Yu wouldn’t force himself to emulate Ye Gucheng, hoping to unleash the full power of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" just because of Ye’s performance.
Besides, the "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" cultivated in that way would ultimately be Ye Gucheng’s, not his own, Qing Yu’s.
Only by replacing its core with his own would "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" truly belong to Qing Yu.
This idea didn’t solidify until he t Qiao Baixuan and had several exchanges with him, witnessing the Heavenly Destiny Palm, which gave Qing Yu a new perspective.
Qiao Baixuan’s Heavenly Destiny Palm symbolized the irrefutable and inevitable montum of fate—an underlying concept highly suited for a demonic version of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal."
Fortunately, Qing Yu also had the foundation to realize such a change. The "Heavenly Human Rebirth Technique" harmonized with heaven and earth, intersecting with Primordial Energy perfectly, enabling Qing Yu to apprehend such overwhelming montum.
Furthermore, the reason he couldn’t unleash the full power of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" was mostly psychological.
It sounds mystical, but in reality, it’s quite simple—it’s because Qing Yu was fixated on the sword in his hand and couldn’t achieve a synergy with it.
If he couldn’t harmonize with it, then he would take full control, making the sword in hand an extension of his body, an extension of his will. While Qing Yu couldn’t entrust his life and death to his sword, surely he could trust in himself.
The move was first tested in a fierce battle with Qiao Baixuan. At that ti, Qing Yu’s "Outer Heaven Flying Letter" showcased an unprecedented dominance and aggression not found in the original owner Ye Gucheng’s swordplay.
Ye Gucheng’s "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" was like the flawless sky and white clouds.
Qing Yu’s "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" also made the swordsman seem like a Heavenly Person—untouched by the mortal coil, seemingly a part of nature itself, but the sword represented its wielder’s determined intent to kill, the descending force of "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" was unleashed to its utmost by Qing Yu.
From on high, if it’s decreed you die, you must—this is what flying immortal signifies, it is the heart of heaven and earth’s Absolute Kill upon you.
Thus, at this mont, the truly present "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" that belonged to Qing Yu finally revealed its unparalleled elegance.
The montum of the sword was ethereal yet still domineering. To observers, it seed elusive and impossible to dodge. Yet, when it approached, it beca domineering because with the sword’s approach ca the Absolute Kill.
At this mont, the distance between Qing Yu and Qingxu had lost its aning because Qing Yu, in an instant, was already in front of him.
The elusive "Eternal Brightness" reached him, and the endless domineering Sword Qi instantly tore through Qingxu’s "Four Symbols Cycle" and pierced through his body.
"This is impossible..." Qingxu, impaled through the chest by the sword, let out an incredulous roar.
After advancing to the Divine Origin Realm, the flow of True Qi was completely at his will, moving freely without hindrance. The "Four Symbols Cycle" was no longer impeded during transformation as it had been in the Innate Realm. Logically, even if his power was suppressed to the level of the Innate Realm, he shouldn’t be exposed during transformations and have his "Four Symbols Cycle" broken as before.
Yet, this very thing brutally happened, and he wasn’t just exploited at a weakness—it was his supposedly unbreakable "Four Symbols Cycle" that was forcefully torn apart head-on.
"In this world, there is no such thing as impossible."
Qing Yu pulled out "Eternal Brightness", and the blood, following inertia, got carried away with "Eternal Brightness", splashing onto the nearby lake surface but not staining the blade in the slightest.
The main point of the Divine Origin Realm was to cultivate Divine Origin; the growth of True Qi was secondary. However, Qing Yu had cultivated using the "Black Heaven Book", and had already cultivated a Divine Origin. Although it wasn’t as strong as that of a true Divine Origin Realm, he was still on an equal footing.
And when it ca to True Qi, Qing Yu had never feared anyone, and that included the Divine Origin Realm. Besides, although Qingxu had advanced to Divine Origin a month ago, he had imdiately gone on a hunt for Gong Ziyu across the whole world upon his breakthrough, without taking ti to settle his powers.
Being the first among the younger generation to be elevated to Divine Origin, along with the humiliation bestowed upon him by Gong Ziyu, truly blinded the eyes of this senior brother of Zhenwu Sect.
"By the way, thanks for your Taiming Sword, it’s good material," Qing Yu said with a low chuckle as he looked at the still shining "Eternal Brightness."
"Also, you are really weak, truly a disgrace to the Divine Origin Realm."
Upon hearing this, Qingxu could no longer hold back, and blood spewed from both his mouth and chest wound uncontrollably.
No... it stopped.
A faint white light blossod from his chest, familiar to Qing Yu, who imdiately swept his sword horizontally at Qingxu’s neck.
But this sword strike, which should have been certain death, was miraculously dodged by Qingxu.
This was extrely abnormal, very much so.
Qing Yu’s "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal", although just recently modified, was not a creation out of thin air. Besides the core Sword Intent, it was still that peerless and unrivaled sword move.
Just now, he had exerted his full strength. Utilizing the "Qi Dual Flow", "Dragon-Elephant Wisdom", and Eightfold True Energy, to na a few, Qing Yu had even slightly burned so of his essence blood to utilize all available thods against Divine Origin Realm’s Qingxu, which allowed "Outer Heaven Flying Immortal" to unleash an unprecedented power.
Of course, the power of this move was worthy of Qing Yu’s sacrifice. The Sword Qi contained within this strike, while not as sharp as that of Yuan Jianyi, was incomparably dominating in terms of aggression and its lethal power was no less than Yuan Jianyi’s Sword Qi.
A sword piercing through the heart, similar to how Zhang Yangde was killed by Yuan Jianyi earlier in the ruins, was definitely fatal.
Qingxu could speak because he was of the Divine Origin Realm. But just because he was of the Divine Origin Realm, it didn’t an he could magically go from dying to bursting with life, defying all science.
That dodge just now—claiming to be near death— who would believe that?
At this mont, the sword wound in Qingxu’s chest had also stopped bleeding, his complexion still pale, but at least he was alive. However, the joy of a narrow escape from death was nowhere to be seen on his face.
"Tch, you’ve even managed to recover a decent amount of your True Qi."
Qing Yu helplessly curled his lip, halting his urge to deliver a finishing blow. Having giving his all just now, even with the "Qi Dual Flow" returning energy, he had recovered less than thirty percent, and the burning of his essence blood made him feel a bit weak.
In contrast, Qingxu, who was caught off-guard, hadn’t drained much True Qi, and was even bolstered by the white light. If he wasn’t still severely injured, he might have already tried to take Qing Yu’s life.
In fact, Qingxu indeed had such an impulse, but his body didn’t have the resources for it now. The white light didn’t bring him back from the brink of death directly; it was just an ergency boost that pulled him back from the critical point.
Another fight with no other magical treasures to revive him would not be an option.
So, after weighing his options, Qingxu didn’t even bother to check on the casualties of his fellow sect mbers; he turned around and ran away.
The movent technique "Vermilion Bird’s Wing Flapping" was truly extraordinary. In an instant, he had disappeared without a trace.
