Chapter 70: Chapter 66: The Thunder is a Pug_1

To form a sword from qi!

Qi Yuan was already complete in the Gold Element, possessing a vigorous golden qi within his body.

This golden qi could be converted with his mana back and forth.

With a single gesture, he could manifest golden light.

A golden sword suddenly appeared in his hand!

The sword was formed solely from the golden qi of the five elements.

The sword’s blade was incredibly sharp.

Off to the side, Dong Xian widened his eyes when he saw this.

What was happening?

Had Senior Brother Qi Yuan truly formed a sword from qi?

How had he done it?

The ancient instrument in the depths of his soul seemed thoughtful.

"This seems somewhat similar to a divine martial arts skill."

Forming a sword from qi, Qi Yuan slowly declared, "Watch as I use my sword to cut down the birds in the sky!"

With that, he raised his golden sword towards the sky.

However, at that moment, suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the clear sky, streaking directly towards Qi Yuan.

It was clear weather... Why was there sudden lightning?

And why was it hitting him?

Qi Yuan was shocked: "Damn it, I held it up too high, attracting the lightning."

Quickly, he swung his hand, throwing the golden sword away. It fell in the distance.

Instantly, the lightning struck the golden sword.

In a moment, the golden sword shattered and turned into golden qi, dissipating in the air.

The sky was clear again with no traces of lightning.

Dong Xian, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded when he saw this.

What just happened?

Just then, Qilao’s voice echoed in his mind.

"Qi Yuan must have practiced some sort of strange forbidden technique that allows him to form a sword from qi, and was punished with divine lightning as a result. Never attempt to form a sword from qi," Qilao warned.

Dong Xian immediately understood. He had seen records about divine lightning in the royal family’s texts.

Nowadays, divine lightning rarely appears on earth.

But, strange forbidden techniques could invite divine lightning.

Remembering this, Dong Xian quickly advised, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, you cannot use this method to form a sword from qi anymore. It is a forbidden technique, which Heaven does not allow."

Truth be told, Dong Xian was somewhat scared. He was worried that Qi Yuan might have been struck dead by the lightning.

Would the Peak Master of the Seven-Color Peak let him live?

Yet, Qilao in his mind found the situation very unusual.

By reason, punishment by divine lightning should be aimed at the person who practises the forbidden technique.

Qi Yuan had thrown away his sword formed from qi, so why would the lightning strike the sword and not the person?

Hearing Dong Xian’s statement, Qi Yuan looked puzzled. "Shouldn’t it be that I held it up too high, and the sword acted as a conductor, attracting the lightning? Could it really be a forbidden technique?"

On the side, Dong Xian didn’t understand the first half of what Qi Yuan said, but did understand the second half. He emphasized, "Senior Brother Qi Yuan, you should practice this technique less in the future!"

Dong Xian felt fortunate that he had asked Senior Brother Qi Yuan to demonstrate first.

If Senior Brother Qi Yuan had told him the method to form a sword from qi and he naively started practicing it, he might have been struck dead by lightning before he even formed the sword!

Did Senior Brother Qi Yuan refer to the phrase ’to the horse by the reins’ as an analogy... riding a horse and unable to dodge when struck by lightning?

"Senior Brother, I must take my leave now." Dong Xian bid Qi Yuan farewell, quickly distancing himself.

Indeed, spending too much time around a madman was not only vexing but also dangerous.

On the Seven-Color Peak, Qi Yuan sat on the ground, deep in thought.

Form a sword from qi!

Suddenly he stood up again. To form a sword from qi!

Out of nowhere, divine lightning fell again.

Qi Yuan hurriedly threw the sword away again and it was shattered instantly by a bolt of lightning.

Qi Yuan witnessed this and exclaimed, "It seems it really is a forbidden technique!"

But in his eyes, there was no trace of disappointment, rather, he was incredibly excited.

"I am a genius, I’ve created another divine skill!"

"I’ll name this divine skill ’I Am the Father of the Lightning, It Strikes Where I Command It To’!"

Once again, he formed a golden sword, and divine lightning descended from the sky.

"Strike there!"

He threw the golden sword, and the lightning swiftly struck the previously indestructible golden sword and shattered it.

"No, I need to change the name. The lightning behaves like a dog; I can’t be its father."

His sword was like a bone, and the lightning was like a dog.

Whenever he threw it, the lightning would pounce on it.

This was quite interesting.

"I truly am a genius. I’ve created another secret technique!"

The power of the lightning was greater than his power when forming a sword from qi.

The only regret was, this technique was unusable in games.

If not, he would definitely give the primordial people and the extraterrestrial demons a small shock.

...

The Yin-Yang Forbidden Technique.

Tong observed Qi Yuan and slowly said, "The Yin-Yang Boundary Stone is in your hand.

Once you have the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone and you apprehend life and death, seeing the immense dread between them, you can truly control the Yin-Yang Forbidden Technique."

Qi Yuan was holding a stone that looked pretty ordinary, a doubtful expression on his face.

[Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, a unique stone found in the Yin-Yang Forbidden Technique.]

"How can I apprehend life and death and see it clearly?" Qi Yuan asked.

"I don’t know." Tong shook his head. "It depends on your comprehension."

When Tong finished talking, he went back into the coffin lid.

Qi Yuan held the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone and took Xiao Jia’s hand, leaving that place.

"Apprehending life and death. Does that mean I have to die?"

He thought a little while holding the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone, then lifted his sword and stabbed a hole in his own body.

Blood flowed out.

On the side, Xiao Jia immediately displayed an anxious expression.

Instantly, she covered Qi Yuan’s body.

Red armor enveloped Qi Yuan.

The wounds on Qi Yuan’s body disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Jia proactively merged with him, switching to a defensive stance.

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan felt an inexplicable pang in his heart.

His injuries were subsumed by the armor.

"Xiao Jia, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have hurt myself."

As if she heard Qi Yuan’s words, Xiao Jia disengaged from the merge. She clung tightly to Qi Yuan, silently leaning against him.

Qi Yuan held Xiao Jia close. Seeing that she was unharmed, he said, "My fault. I didn’t think it through.

Now, I have a wife. I can’t act solely based on my own preferences."

As Qi Yuan spoke, he started to laugh.

Xiao Jia didn’t know why he was laughing, but she continued to nestle against him.

However, Qi Yuan was lost in thought. "How exactly should I control the Yin-Yang Banshee?"

"Could it be that I need to grasp the essence of Yin and Yang, and speak peculiarly?"

As a positive person, how could he manage to speak so peculiarly?

He couldn’t manage, could he?

However, an unexpected event soon caught Qi Yuan off guard.

"Did I change the map?"

At that moment, he abruptly found himself in a teleportation array. The location it was leading to was one of the four infamous forbidden areas... Sky’s End!

"I have not fully mastered the Yin-Yang Banshee and I’m already moving to a new map. Have I beaten the instance of this Banshee?"

Qi Yuan was in a state of confusion.

Or could it be that having mastered the Yin-Yang Boundary Stone is equivalent to having mastered the Yin-Yang Banshee?

But, I haven’t received the reward of the Heavenly Dao shard yet?"

"Crappy game, it must have bugged!"

Qi Yuan concluded that it must be a game bug.

After a while, he sent Jin Li a message.

"Jin Li, you’d better be careful. This game is full of bugs.

I hadn’t finished the Yin-Yang Banshee instance, but it has teleported me to a new map, Sky’s End."

After sending the message, Qi Yuan hugged Xiao Jia.

Either way, it would take some time before he was entirely transported to Sky’s End.

This time, Jin Li’s response came quickly: "Sky’s End? You have to be cautious. Do you want me to send the Yibe Forbidden Army to assist you at Sky’s End?"

She chose the word ’send’ instead of ’dispatch.’

Because she never forget that the Yibe Forbidden Army originally belonged to Qi Yuan.

"No need. They’re too weak." Qi Yuan rejected emphatically.

The strongest among the Yibe Forbidden Army are the Supreme Emperors, none of which have reached the Heavenly Realm.

Having received recognition from everyone, Qi Yuan gradually adopted the NPC level discrimination method.

On the other side, Jin Li momentary fell silent after seeing Qi Yuan’s message. Then she said, "Sky’s End is extremely dangerous. There is an Ascension Platform there. Do not ascend upon it under any circumstances.

Those that have ascended... it’s said that they transcend, leaving this world behind.

It is called ’Ascension,’ but no one knows what exactly transpires."

Upon seeing this, Qi Yuan responded, "I understand. Don’t worry. We haven’t even met yet, I wouldn’t ascend and leave."

On the other end, Jin Li, who had been constantly fighting on her journey, felt a ripple of emotion within her calm heart.

She looked out the window, where the ancient Qichun tree seemed to block out the entirety of the Wangyue Continent. The tree was dotted with countless stars, mimicking a celestial array.

It was like a giant Christmas tree adorned with colorful lights, absolutely beautiful.

"Alright, we’ll meet... under the ancient Qichun tree.

It’s particularly beautiful there, the most beautiful place in the world."

"Really? I’m looking forward to it." Qi Yuan also wanted to know how beautiful the scenery beneath the ancient Qichun tree was, and what the yet unmet Jin Li looked like.

As they chatted, time flew by.

"Sky’s End is nearly here, goodbye for now, ttyl."

Qi Yuan closed the chat window. Holding Xiao Jia, he became vigilant.

The scene shifted, and he found himself in an endless desert.

"Is this Sky’s End?"

Qi Yuan looked up at the sky, where a colossal Sky City was floating above.

No, that’s not right. It wasn’t accurate to describe it as a city. It was a massive floating platform.

The platform was pitch-black. However, this kind of black was a little eerie, as if it was stained with blood.

How much blood would it take to paint such a vast platform red?

"Is this the Ascension Platform?" Qi Yuan stared at the platform, deep in thought.

At that moment, a domineering voice appealed.

"Halt, wayfarer!"

Qi Yuan looked over to see a shimmering armored man appear not far away.

The man was tall, the golden armor he wore made him appear exceptionally imposing. He had only one arm, the other seemed to have been severed by someone.

"I serve under the Great Sun, Guardian of the Ascension Gate to the Daylight!" The golden armored man claimed, his voice echoing.

Qi Yuan studied the golden-armored man, feeling apprehensive.

Great Sun?

A god?

The Daytime Illusion Technique he obtained came from the Great Sun.

But from the memories of the Dragon Judge and Flower Burier, among the ten divine generals of the gods, there was no such person.

This divine general seemed to be in a similar state to Jin Zu—a reminiscing soul.

"If you desire to ascend the Daylight Ascension Platform, you must survive 129,600 battles!

Victory in each battle permits you to ascend the platform!

Do you accept the challenge?

Once on the platform, life or death matters not!"

Qi Yuan had no interest in getting on the Ascension Platform.

Jin Li had warned him that the Ascension Platform could be dangerous.

He asked, "I wish to control Sky’s End, not ascend the Ascension Platform. How can I control Sky’s End?"

The golden-armored divine general mechanically uttered, seemingly devoid of intelligence, "Ascend the Daylight Ascension Platform, slay me, and you can control Sky’s End. You will be the master of Sky’s End!"

"Really?" Qi Yuan stared at the golden-armored divine general.

It seemed like he had no choice but to ascend the Ascension Platform.

After all, NPCs wouldn’t lie, would they?

The game admin wouldn’t be so cruel to the players, would they?

Thinking back to the game graphics and plot twists,

Qi Yuan couldn’t help but think that the game developers must have ridden the Designers to work every day.
