Yellow Court Daoist

But it also depends on who you compare them to.

If compared to those cultivators who are eternally trapped within the Golden Core or Primordial Spirit stages, they are indeed of exceptional talent. However, when measured against their peers who are also True Immortals, Qi Zhou and his two companions are merely mediocre.

Even inferior to the Seven Treasures Immortal.

If this lifetime lacks further fortuitous encounters, I fear they will halt at the First Realm, Second Realm.

As for the Immortal Dao of Longevity?

It seems hopeless.

This was merely the last expectation and blessing the Seven Treasures Immortal had for her three disciples.

Qi Zhou, Cui Fengnian, and Zhong Lihu exchanged glances. Qi Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, where are you going?"

"Where to go?"

Seven Treasures Immortal was startled, and a dim light faded further in her eyes. Then she chuckled and shook her head, murmuring, "The world is so vast, where else is there to go. Having waited all these years, all my painstaking efforts have amounted to naught. I can wait no longer. All I wish for before demise is to slay a few more enemies and see my third junior brother one last time with no regrets."

Her voice was barely audible.

The three disciples could only see their teacher's pale and bloodstained lips move slightly, but could not hear a word.

Just as they were about to ask again.

They saw their teacher clutching the Kanshan Sword, her aura suddenly intensifying, revealing a fierce and ruthless killing intent. This momentum was not unfamiliar to them; their teacher always exhibited it when facing enemies and slaying demons.

But this time, there was a hint of a fearless drive to it.

Boom!

With Seven Treasures Immortal's step forward, the already chaotic and hopeless Two Qi Peak shattered completely like a copper mirror.

It wasn't that Two Qi Peak had collapsed, but that the Daoist Field cultivated by Seven Treasures Immortal for so many years was thoroughly ruined.

With the Daoist Field destroyed.

Taking into account her current state and less than a hundred years of Life Span left, she no longer had any possibility of making a comeback on East Mountain or making a second assault towards Longevity.

All paths had come to an end.

She had reached a dead end.

...

"It's out."

Cultivators from all sides had been closely observing Two Qi Peak. Originally, the spiritual energy of the Daoist Field obscured the situation inside, but with Seven Treasures Immortal's action, the scene within Two Qi Peak suddenly became visible to everyone.

The peak which once mirrored an Immortal Palace now had withered flora, and the cultivators within were bleeding and in a dire state. At the flattened summit, cracks spread deeply and shallowly, tearing apart the Immortal Palace's pavilions, causing countless collapses.

"Sigh!"

Seeing this, people could not help but lament.

Only the Cloud Edge Shenxiao Two Paths, upon seeing the state of Two Qi Peak and Seven Treasures Immortal stepping out, showed a hint of a smile. Their smiles grew wider amidst the surrounding silence, becoming particularly jarring.

Yuan Shan Daoist paid no attention to these two and fixed his gaze on Seven Treasures Immortal, wanting to speak but stopped, a look of guilt appearing on his face.

"Fellow Daoist."

Cheng Jin, the Daoist Nun, spoke up, wanting to offer comfort but, for the moment, was at a loss for words.

Clearly on the verge of attaining Longevity, it had been ruthlessly cut short.

She asked herself, if it were her in the Immortal's shoes, she feared she would be no better off than Seven Treasures Immortal right now.

"This time I must thank the two Immortal Masters."

"It's my insufficient Dao ability and lack of accumulation that's to blame, not others."

"I only hope that the two Immortal Masters will, in consideration of my past efforts, look after Seven Treasures Mountain in the future. I would be deeply grateful."

Seven Treasures Immortal stepped forward, her expression showing neither joy nor sorrow. She bowed slightly to Cheng Jin, the Daoist Nun, and Yuan Shan Daoist who were beside her, and spoke.

"Of course."

Yuan Shan Daoist nodded in agreement.

Cheng Jin, the Daoist Nun, looked at Seven Treasures Immortal and hesitated before asking, "Fellow Daoist, are you saying—"

Seven Treasures Immortal nodded with a smile and then took a step towards the Shenxiao Sect's Yun Qing and Yun De.

Yun Qing and Yun De's faces still bore smiles.

Although they had suffered severe injuries earlier, they had already stabilized. Even though they had attained their Dao ability through Secret Techniques, which came at great costs, they were ultimately Pure Yang Immortal Masters with significant Divine Skills.

Seeing the Seven Treasures Immortal approaching, they were not at all panicked.

Despite the fact that they were previously forced to retreat in disarray and suffered severe, blood-dripping injuries from the combined effort, it was because Seven Treasures Immortal had stationed herself in the Daoist Field, concentrating a force of Sword Qi for many months in preparation for this encounter that they were defeated.

Now, however.

Even though they had not fully recovered from their injuries, if they faced Seven Treasures Immortal one on one, they would be fearless.

Yun Qing had a delicate face, perhaps too delicate, showing a trace of softness. He looked at Seven Treasures Immortal and opened his mouth with an ongoing smile, "Fellow Daoist—"

Before he could finish.

Seven Treasures Immortal had no desire to listen and just as a glint of cold light flashed—

The Two Qi Rings began to spin, with a faint light of green and purple circling around her body, a few feet in diameter.

"The Two Qi Rings."

Yun Qing's expression froze, showing disgust.

The hand still visibly cracked, formed a Seal Technique; Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning surged forth, enveloping him, then moved to encompass Seven Treasures Immortal.

Others were unaware.

But the Shenxiao Sect Taoists knew that Seven Treasures Immortal's Two Qi Rings were a remarkable treasure. Back then, it was with this treasure that she managed to escape the grasp of many high-ranking Shenxiao Sect masters, causing significant losses to the sect over the years.

However, marvelous as the treasure was, it still fell short in the face of a Pure Yang Immortal Master.

And sure enough.

The Two Qi Rings emitted a mist of light, enveloping Seven Treasures Immortal's entire body in a blue and red aura. Motionless, suddenly a sharp burst of light shot out, expanding a thousandfold, resembling a sun. Such a display of power seemed even beyond the control of the treasure's owner. Any formidable Flying Sword Treasure, metal or stone, turned to dust upon contact.

Such ferocity left all onlookers in awe.

Boom!

A clamor erupted!

But the Two Qi Rings arrived quickly and retreated just as fast.

First hurtling towards Yun Qing, then in the next moment, flying back. In the midst of the rumbling sound, Yun Qing remained unscathed, whereas Seven Treasures Immortal stumbled back, struggling to hold onto the Two Qi Rings and barely managing to stay on her feet.
