Chapter 708: Chapter 298: Senior Sister Will Take You

Li Qiushui was momentarily at a loss for words.

"This is a copy of the Telekinesis Arrow Technique. Take it as compensation."

She tossed a Magic Technique manual to Chu Lingguang.

"The Telekinesis Arrow Technique?"

’Telekinesis can be shot out like an arrow?’

Chu Lingguang hadn’t expected this at all.

"This is fantastic! From now on, I won’t have to just use my Telekinesis for defense anymore."

Chu Lingguang said with a smile.

"We can’t stay here any longer. Follow me for now."

Li Qiushui didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at Chu Lingguang’s excited expression.

The two of them immediately used Sword Control to leave the canyon.

"Why is this canyon called Death Valley? The Spiritual Qi is abundant outside, but there’s almost none inside."

Chu Lingguang asked.

"I don’t know either. There’s a rumor that Death Valley was formed from the spine of a fallen Great Immortal. Half of the reason the Ancient Perilous Land is so dangerous is because of Death Valley. We’ve only lingered on the outskirts; if we were to go any deeper, not even a Golden Core expert could make it out."

Li Qiushui explained.

She had become much more talkative than before, answering all of Chu Lingguang’s questions.

’Formed from a spine?’

’If he was a Great Immortal, who could possibly have killed him?’

Chu Lingguang was full of doubt.

"I don’t know."

Li Qiushui shook her head.

"Senior Sister, can you take me to find my master? My master and I came here from the Celestial Sea. While I was trapped in the cave dwelling by Elder Yang, my master went with our fellow disciples to train in the Ancient Perilous Land. I’m worried something happened to him. Can you help me find him?"

Chu Lingguang had been constantly worried about Guo Wei’s safety.

"Alright. Give me your master’s information."

Li Qiushui didn’t refuse. Instead, she took out her Jade Scroll and began contacting nearby sect disciples to help search for Guo Wei.

「One day later.」

A message came through Li Qiushui’s Jade Scroll.

"Your master is in the northern part of the Ancient Perilous Land. It seems he’s hunting a Heaven-Swallowing Python with some others."

Li Qiushui said.

"How strong of a Demon Beast is that?"

Chu Lingguang knew there were many Demon Beasts within the Ancient Perilous Land.

"Around the tenth level of Qi Refining. It depends on its age. An older one could be comparable to a Foundation Establishment Realm expert."

Li Qiushui explained.

"That strong?"

"Then my master must be with a lot of people. Maybe he’s with Jiang Ruhong."

Chu Lingguang said.

He knew Guo Wei was a cautious man who wouldn’t take risks lightly. If he dared to hunt a Heaven-Swallowing Python, he must have been fully prepared.

"Since you’re so worried, I’ll take you to him."

Li Qiushui summoned her Flying Sword and had Chu Lingguang stand on it with her.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Without a second thought, Chu Lingguang quickly stepped on behind Li Qiushui.

Li Qiushui controlled the Flying Sword, carrying Chu Lingguang northward.

As the "icicle flower" of the Profound Celestial Sect, Li Qiushui was famous for her aloof pride, always treating everyone with a cold and distant demeanor.

An occasion like today, flying through the air with Chu Lingguang, the two of them standing on the same Flying Sword, was a first.

The disciples from the Cyan Cloud Sect might not have understood, but anyone from the Profound Celestial Sect who saw Li Qiushui fly past with an Outer Disciple on her sword was left gaping in astonishment.

Many who saw Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui on the same Flying Sword started asking about Chu Lingguang’s identity, wanting to know what his relationship with Li Qiushui was.

As a cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, Li Qiushui possessed abundant Spiritual Power. She had mastered nearly all the Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities available to Outer Disciples.

With her Sword Control Technique enhancing her Flying Sword, she flew not only quickly but also with great stability.

Along the way, Little Demons and monsters would fly up from the jungle to ambush them, but they were all blocked by her Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities. The Spiritual Power that scattered from her palm was like divine light, possessing terrifying destructive force.

Chu Lingguang noticed that with every wave of Li Qiushui’s hand, at least two types of power would resonate with each other.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Sister, how do you make Gold Spiritual Power and Fire Spiritual Power resonate? I’ve tried countless times but could never succeed."

"Gold Spiritual Power and Fire Spiritual Power are two powers that restrain each other. If you want to merge them, you have to find a different approach. You can’t just focus on finding their common point of harmony; you have to find their common point of repulsion. It is from that shared repulsion that you can discover an identical response, which will then allow the two powers to merge."

Li Qiushui said slowly after a moment of contemplation.

"Take Water Spiritual Power and Fire Spiritual Power, for example. The two restrain each other, making it impossible to merge them through brute force. Only by tackling the problem head-on, while also trying to circumvent it, can you successfully fuse the two powers."

Li Qiushui extended both hands.

Fire Spiritual Power appeared in one hand, and Water Spiritual Power in the other.

Only then did Chu Lingguang realize that Li Qiushui also possessed a Dual Spiritual Root, and a high-grade one at that.

He saw the two powers in Li Qiushui’s hands combine into a Tai Chi Diagram. The Fire and Water Spiritual Power intertwined, creating sparks where they clashed.

Li Qiushui found their mutual response within those sparks, and finally, the two powers merged, forming a completely new Spiritual Power—a turquoise-green energy.

When the energy wrapped around a tree, it could either bring a withered tree back to life, full of vitality, or instantly turn a flourishing one to ash.

"Fusing powers is only the first step in cultivation. A true Practitioner can not only merge multiple conflicting powers but can also awaken entirely new powers from the process, causing each individual power to undergo a transformation."

"Whether it’s Fire, Water, Gold, Wood, or Earth Spiritual Power, there is no absolute point of fusion, nor is there a repulsive force that makes fusion impossible."

"The Five Elements both generate and overcome one another. This generation and suppression can be taken to their extremes. The degree to which you can transform the Five Elements Power depends on your own comprehension, the support of your Spiritual Root, or the guidance of a Magic Technique."

Li Qiushui explained all this to Chu Lingguang as they traveled.

Completely changing her usual attitude, she held nothing back, answering everything Chu Lingguang asked.

Chu Lingguang listened the entire way and benefited immensely. The idea of looking for a common point of repulsion between conflicting powers—using their mutual repulsion to find a shared response—was a paradigm shift he had never considered before.

Before, he had only focused on finding a common point of response between the two different powers. He had never thought to find a common point of repulsion and use that repulsive force to fuse two powers of different attributes.

It could be said that Li Qiushui had not only helped him find the key to fusion but had also shown him a completely new path of cultivation.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Chu Lingguang was filled with gratitude.

Standing behind Li Qiushui, he began to release Gold Spiritual Power and Fire Spiritual Power from his hands. He closed his eyes, immersing himself in the sensation of the two powers.

They were flying through the air on a sword, and Li Qiushui was standing right in front of him. If the fusion failed, the resulting explosion could injure her.

Therefore, Chu Lingguang didn’t attempt to fuse them rashly.

He only released two faint streams of power, trying to find the common point of repulsion in the reactions between the Fire and Gold Spiritual Power.

Li Qiushui noticed Chu Lingguang’s actions but didn’t disturb him, simply continuing to fly north with him standing behind her.

The Ancient Perilous Land was vast.

Furthermore, it was teeming with Demon Beasts, and there were various obstacles from the disciples of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

It took Li Qiushui and Chu Lingguang a full three days to fly to the northern region, arriving at the place where Guo Wei and the other Profound Celestial Sect disciples were hunting the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

When the two arrived, they discovered a plain in the middle of the jungle, the size of a dozen soccer fields, where the trees had been flattened by a giant python.

There were many bloodstains on the ground.

There were also traces of burnt Talismans and fragments of shattered Magical Treasures.

A great battle had clearly just taken place here.

Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui even saw scales and flesh from the Heaven-Swallowing Python.

"Your master and the others won."

"But they paid a heavy price."

"They’ve butchered the Heaven-Swallowing Python and should be consuming its flesh and blood by now. They’ve already moved on from here. I can follow the scent of blood to find your master."

Li Qiushui said.

"Okay, thank you, Senior Sister."

Chu Lingguang was endlessly grateful.

Li Qiushui smiled faintly. She realized that Chu Lingguang was not only exceptionally talented but also trustworthy, hardworking, eager to learn, loyal, and righteous. A person like him was a rare find, seen only once in a century. Her jealousy toward him vanished without a trace.
