My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 965 - 922: A single wave with three twists

"Since you so desire the Techniques..."

"Considering how charming you are, I shall grant them to you."

"However, I have a condition."

Upon hearing the words of the One-Heart Emperor, Li Qing was slightly startled.

From within the shadows, a voluptuous and tall female figure stepped out slowly.

In her thirties, she appeared more mature and seductive compared with the young Sister Zhao, who sat upright.

"You performed commendably within the Illusory Realm, but I wonder how capable you are in reality?"

"If you can satisfy me, perhaps in my delight, I might even gift you several more Techniques."

The mature Sister Zhao brought her index finger to her lips, gently licking it.

She looked at Li Qing with hazy eyes and a blushing complexion, as if about to drip with moisture.

"Good!"

Li Qing nodded his head without uttering another word and agreed immediately.

A moment later...

A black straight sword appeared in front of Li Qing.

The tip of the sword pointed directly at [Unified Heart Celestial Master].

Li Qing’s expression was solemn, "I have a sword technique, please guide me, Sister Zhao!"

His voice echoed throughout the Grand Hall like thunder, lingering for a long time.

The flirtatious expression on the mature Sister Zhao’s face instantly stiffened.

She gave Li Qing a deep look, then her figure swiftly retreated and disappeared into the darkness.

"Get lost!"

A streak of silver light flew towards Li Qing.

It contained the very Mystic Sky Sect Techniques that Li Qing had been longing for.

Beyond those he was already aware of, such as "The Ode to the Conjunction of Heaven and Earth" and "The Secret of Only I Through the Ages,"

There were two techniques he had never heard of before.

"Secret Canon of Forgetting" and "Three-Danger Ghost God Dark Record."

Li Qing was overjoyed inside, "Many thanks to Heaven..."

Before he could finish speaking, a wave of dizziness came over him.

In the next instant, the scenery before his eyes changed dramatically.

He was no longer inside the Great Taoist Sect but had been kicked out by Sister Zhao.

He had returned to the territory of the Five Elders Organization.

"It seems Sister Zhao was quite angry that I rejected her proposition in her moment of excitement," Li Qing chuckled to himself.

By relying on various strategies, he had successfully exchanged for the Mystic Sky Sect Techniques from the other party.

But Li Qing did not let success cloud his judgment.

He still held a profound respect for the Immortal Sovereign.

Being engrossed in the Illusory Realm was a result of losing oneself; getting involved with the Immortal Sovereign in reality...

Could well come with unforeseen risks.

Therefore, Li Qing decisively refused.

"One must always remain vigilant."

Li Qing reminded himself once again in his heart.

Looking around, he discerned the way back.

Although his mission was complete and his true self had already been informed of his experiences,

The contents of the Mystic Sky Sect’s Techniques were vast like the sea of smoke and not something that could be read in a short time; they needed to be delivered to his true self as soon as possible.

"This place seems unfamiliar; I wonder whose territory of the Five Elders Organization this is."

He didn’t plan to ask anyone, merely working to identify the location of his true self before he hurried off in that direction.

At first, just like on his journey here, everything went smoothly.

He encountered no Five Elders’ Monks demanding inspection.

However, just as he was about to cross the border of this state, an accident occurred.

Suddenly, three figures emerged from the ground, blocking his path.

Li Qing’s heart grew cold, and before he could take any action, one of the three people ahead asked, "Who goes there? And where do you wish to go?"

Li Qing was about to blurt out some excuse.

However, just as she was about to speak, her words suddenly changed.

"I am Li Qing from the Mystic Sky Sect! I have now infiltrated the Five Elders Organization and obtained their techniques, and I am about to return!"

It was as if the words came out without any thought, revealing her secrets outright!

As soon as these words were said, Li Qing’s expression drastically changed.

The three monks responsible for interrogating the members of the Five Elders Organization were at first stunned.

Then they all showed expressions of shock and horror.

"There’s…"

But before they had a chance to react, a black sword shadow appeared like lightning.

It swiftly passed between their bodies.

"Bang!"

In an instant, the three monks were turned into a mist of blood, leaving no bones behind.

Signs of the fall of monks from the skies were beginning to condense.

Li Qing seized this opportunity to escape rapidly.

"The Kingdom of Reality!"

"Sister Zhao really is petty!"

At that moment, the words she intended to say were replaced by her true situation.

This realization made Li Qing immediately aware of where she was.

"The power of the Real Celestial Sovereign is really nothing to scoff at!"

While fleeing precipitously, she reflected on what had just transpired, Li Qing felt a surge of inward alarm.

With her determination, she hadn’t noticed anything amiss throughout the process.

Only after the words were spoken did she realize something was wrong.

Li Qing even sensed that now, knowing the rules of this place, she would be incapable of constructing lies!

This is the power that reverses the Principle of Heaven and Earth!

"To confound the mind is truly the hardest to guard against."

With a sinking heart, Li Qing increased her speed once more.

Although her cover had been blown, fortunately, this place was located within the inner lands of the Five Elders Organization where peace had reigned for a long time. The defenses were not so strict. For the moment, there were no pursuers.

Secondly, Sister Zhao probably just wanted to scare her a bit and did not truly intend to harm her. Otherwise, wouldn’t their transaction have been in vain?

Therefore, the place to which Li Qing was teleported was just the border area of the Kingdom of Reality.

Li Qing did not fly long before she was back within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

However, there was a minor incident when she crossed the boundary defenses of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

That is, the Protective Array at the borders, in the time she went to the Five Elders Organization, had been completely altered.

The vulnerabilities of the Array Technique transmitted by her original self had become ineffective, nearly causing her to be discovered by the patrolling monks of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.

Fortunately, her original self noticed the situation here and timely completed the deciphering of the Array Technique.

This prevented Li Qing from being exposed.

Once again fleeing within the boundaries of the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals, Li Qing couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Although I’ve obtained the techniques this time, the journey back was full of twists and turns," she thought.

"Is this what they call ’good things never come easy’? I hope there won’t be any more trouble ahead."

With this in mind, Li Qing hurried towards the Spirit Tree Realm.

Perhaps indeed there was some sort of destiny at play, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the Spirit Tree Realm,

for some unknown reason, a [Heaven-Patrolling Arrow] patrolling overhead unexpectedly locked onto her.

The arrow’s light suddenly appeared and, catching her unawares, pierced through Li Qing’s body.

If it were not for Li Qing having achieved Cave Heaven by using Heaven’s Oddities, with her extraordinary strength,

and had she not unleashed thousands of Sword Dao techniques to counter some of the power of the Heaven-Patrolling Arrow right before it struck,

she would have probably fallen right there and then!

Even so, Li Qing was still seriously injured.

Moreover, the activation of the Heaven-Patrolling Arrow had drawn the attention of the Immortal Alliance cultivators.

Fortunately, Lin Ling, who had been ordered to pick her up, quickly arrived and took the severely wounded Li Qing away.

By the time the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals cultivators arrived, all they saw was a huge pit and some traces of blood.

Within the Spirit Tree Realm.

Li Fan personally healed his avatar.
