Chapter 623

Unexpectedly, this imperial weapon now reappeared in the hands of Zhang Taixuan, elevated to the rank of imperial weapon.

Having fused so much immortal qi, the Fulong Sword's might had clearly surpassed ordinary imperial weapons; its imperial aura swept across the universe, proclaiming its existence.

Yet the thing the Dragon Clan's elders feared never occurred.

Even after the Fulong Sword became an imperial weapon, it did not trouble them.

"The imperial weapon's divine spirit must have perished long ago; the current Fulong Sword can be considered a new imperial weapon, with no connection whatsoever to Fulong True Person."

As the crowd was lost in thought, Zhang Taixuan casually waved his hand—the Fulong Sword in his grasp soared upward, embedding itself among the mountains, transforming into a sword peak, then slowly petrifying into a mountain soaring straight to the heavens.

Only when the Taixuan Sect faced mortal peril would the Fulong Sword break its seal and suppress its enemies.

"Lord, was that immortal qi just now?" Ling Xi asked, finally speaking after Zhang Taixuan finished.

Zhang Taixuan nodded: "It was indeed immortal qi."

Saying this, he waved his hand, and a stream of immortal qi spread outward, surging toward Ling Xi.

"Your strength is too weak. Absorb some immortal qi, then undergo the tribulation to become a Saint."

"Thank you, Lord!" Ling Xi was stunned.

This was immortal qi.

She immediately sat cross-legged, activated the Great Radiance Scripture, and devoured the immortal qi.

As she cultivated, Ling Xi immediately understood the mystery of immortal qi.

"They say the immortal Dao values life—this immortal qi truly lives up to its 'immortal' name. After absorbing just a little, my lifespan has more than doubled."

As her cultivation deepened, she felt her blood and qi grow ever more vibrant, her lifespan extending to the point where she could no longer sense its extent.

"How many years has my lifespan increased? I can't even sense how long I live anymore!"

Ling Xi remained in dazed silence for a long time.

After a long while, she steadied herself and carefully sensed her body's changes—she discovered that not only her lifespan, but also her physical strength and magic power had reached a new height.

After merely a brief cultivation, her strength had multiplied a thousandfold or more.

"Now, I'm surely an peerless prodigy in my own realm!"

Ling Xi's eyes gleamed; fearing waste of the immortal qi, she strained to absorb it, her strength rising rapidly.

In just half an hour, her strength reached the peak of Immortal Stage Three, awaiting only the heavenly tribulation to become a Saint.

"Good," Zhang Taixuan smiled. "Once you become a Saint, you may guard the Taixuan Sect in my stead."

With a wave of his hand, he flung Ling Xi into the cosmic void, onto a desolate ancient star.

Ling Xi understood her Lord's intent; with a thought, she summoned the Lei Jie.

"How is this possible?"

"I am a Great Completion Tyrant Body—why can't I ascend the Heart-Testing Path?"

At that moment, a roar echoed along the Heart-Testing Path—a powerful being, unwilling to accept defeat, confronted Zhang Taixuan.

Hearing this, Zhang Taixuan turned his gaze, sneering: "A mere Tyrant Body dares to cross the Heart-Testing Path by relying on realm alone?"

"Our Tyrant Body clan, upon Great Completion, can rival Emperors—we are far stronger than other races. Master Daojun, taking just me as a disciple is worth more than a thousand others."

Zhang Taixuan snorted: "Are you teaching me how to act?!"

With a thought, the light wheel behind him manifested; instantly, the Great Completion Tyrant Body's figure faded, gradually turning into a painting.

"I seal you for a thousand years, as a warning to others!"

As he spoke, the painting bearing the Tyrant Body's image (Li Mahao) soared into the air and landed atop the mountain formed by the Fulong Sword, floating above it.

"So powerful!"

"Is this the method of Taixuan Great Saint?"

"Just a single stroke of mysterious light—and the Great Completion Tyrant Body couldn't even resist!"

"Transforming life into death—what an astonishing technique!"

The moment Zhang Taixuan acted, everyone present froze in shock.

Compared to his earlier suppression of the Free and Easy Heavenly Sovereign, Zhang Taixuan's methods had clearly advanced further.

In the cosmos, the great clans watching Zhang Taixuan take a disciple were terrified half to death.

Especially the Tyrant Body clan—now, the entire clan fell utterly silent.

"What do we do? Our Ancestor has been captured!"

"If the Taixuan Daojun intends to exterminate our Tyrant Body clan, what shall we do?"

"Quick! Retrieve our clan's ultimate treasure and present it to the Taixuan Daojun—let him calm down!"
