Chapter 109: Chapter 106: Battle with Di Xi

```

On the eighth day of the twelfth month, Laba Festival.

Located in the Northern Land, Divine Capital City was swept up in large snowflakes, making the entire city a pure white world.

On this day, Emperor Feng Jiu’s father seemingly remembered his biological son for the first time and summoned him into the palace to celebrate the Laba Festival with other members of the Imperial Family.

Qing Yu, however, declined the idea of Jin Mingxuan, who had become qualified as a stallion, to go to Tianyue Workshop to warm the guns and stayed in his room at Mountain River Academy, producing an item befitting the occasion.

"System, extract Laba Porridge."

"A two and a half stars item, ’Laba Porridge’ has been extracted."

Suddenly, a bowl of hot steaming Laba Porridge appeared in Qing Yu’s hands.

This bowl of Laba Porridge had been acquired by Qing Yu back in Yang City. At that time, Qing Yu was only in the Postnatal Realm, and consuming this bowl of porridge might have instantly killed him due to the poisonous Intestine-breaking, Bone-rotting, Heart-rotting Grass within, thus it had been sealed in the Inheritance Space.

Now taken out, it was still hot as if it had just come off the stove.

Qing Yu drank it all in one go while it was still hot, the boiling Laba Porridge traveling down his esophagus without injuring him, protected by his True Qi.

Without taking the time to savor it, Qing Yu circulated his True Qi, striving to digest the medicinal effects of the Laba Porridge.

His True Qi continuously operated within his body following the Yin Yang Family’s technique for refining spiritual medicine, constantly increasing in the presence of the medicinal power of the porridge, and his already expanded robust meridians were further widened.

A bit of True Qi overflowed from his body, swirling around Qing Yu, giving him an ethereal, almost celestial appearance.

"I can’t hold on anymore..."

This wasn’t because the medicinal power of the porridge was too expansive, but rather a necessary part of the process of consuming Laba Porridge. Even Shi Potian, who had wandered onto the wrong set, couldn’t endure it and passed out directly, and Qing Yu was no exception.

Darkness enveloped his vision, and Qing Yu felt himself sinking into an abyss. This darkness was not the ordinary kind one experiences when closing one’s eyes; it was as though he had entered the womb, where although he could not see, hear, or speak, it brought an unparalleled serenity, devoid of any fear or anxiety.

Thus, Qing Yu indulged in this serene and peaceful darkness.

Time ticked by, second by second.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

It was like the beating of a large drum, the sound growing louder and more frequent.

Yes, it was the sound of a heartbeat. Qing Yu could feel that it was his own heartbeat.

The heartbeats grew faster and more frequent until, at one moment, the darkness was torn apart, and Qing Yu woke up once again.

"Is it already night?" Qing Yu lit a lamp. Although it was pitch black and Qing Yu’s power had yet to reach the level of generating electricity in an empty room or having night vision, he accurately located the fire lighter and lit the lamp.

"The efficacy of this Laba Porridge is much greater than I imagined."

Qing Yu had thought that falling asleep was a better way to absorb the medicinal effects of the porridge. Unexpectedly, the porridge directly induced a state akin to fake death, using the body’s inertia to lock in the medicinal power of the porridge, allowing it to be absorbed slowly.

And this experience of going from life to death, and then from death back to life was tremendously helpful for Qing Yu. The sensation of returning to the womb and being reborn aligned perfectly with the true essence of his "Heavenly Person Rebirth Technique."

Just this peculiar realization alone made Qing Yu feel that this bowl of Laba Porridge was truly worth it.

```

Furthermore,

Qing Yu started incorporating the "Heavenly Human Rebirth Technique" of the Yin Yang Technique, as True Qi began overflowing from the hundreds of orifices around his body, forming a vague yet real Taiji phantom behind him.

He had already reached the Innate Fifth Realm.

"System, I want to challenge Di Xi."

"Two-star Character Card Di Xi, Inheritance Space opening..." The long-accustomed mechanical voice rang out.

Qing Yu’s consciousness entered the pure white Inheritance Space, watching as a golden figure slowly materialized opposite him.

"Nine Transformation Dragon King" Di Xi, one of the East Island Four Venerables, a master of the Innate Seventh Layer, two levels higher than Qing Yu. However, realm does not equate to combat power. If it were a master of the Innate Seventh Layer from West City, Qing Yu would have reconsidered. As for East Island, it could be dismissed.

Except for "Valley God Immortal" Gu Shentong from East Island, the rest were no match for those constantly infighting in West City. Everyone had their flaws, none seemed truly dedicated to martial arts, except for the young Silver Carp. The other three venerated ones seemed to have wasted their years.

His thoughts ceased there, and as Di Xi materialized, Qing Yu did not wait for him to speak. With his hands virtually joined at his chest, the clear black and white of the Taiji circulated, and with a horizontal push of both hands, thousands of Taiji hand seals attacked the newly materialized Nine Transformation Dragon King. Striking first to gain the upper hand, targeting his life.

Yin Yang Technique · Yin Yang Hand Seal.

Unlike Great Fate, which leans towards Fire Attribute, Qing Yu’s "Yin Yang Hand Seal" vaporized Yin and Yang into black and white colors, truly authentic.

Thousands of hand seals struck Di Xi, propelling him like a ragdoll into the air.

However, Qing Yu was not deceived by this facade. What was hit was not Di Xi, but just a garment.

"Dragon Escape"’s "Golden Cicada Transformation". Like a golden cicada shedding its shell, the garment took the hit, allowing the true body to escape.

Qing Yu drew out his long sword, hidden by the Hidden Sword Skill, and swiftly made a cutting strike at Di Xi, who was attempting a sneak attack from behind.

Villains generally favor dark moves; among ten villains, at least eight have a penchant for stabbing in the back for minutes on end. Especially those proficient in speed, they favor a surprise backstab or a kidney strike. Qing Yu had profound personal insights on this.

Di Xi used "Golden Cicada Transformation" to divert Qing Yu’s attention, then used "Colorless Transformation" to move swiftly behind Qing Yu for a sneak attack. Little did he know, Qing Yu was also adept in extreme speed, and was much faster than him.

A timely slicing strike turned Di Xi’s backstab attempt back on him. Qing Yu, seizing the advantage, showed no mercy. Stepping the Seven Stars, treading the Heavenly Gang, and moving Dou, he encircled Di Xi with mysterious steps, trapping him within.

Di Xi dashed left and right, unfortunately, it seemed as though there were people guarding every direction, as if seven people were attacking and besieging him simultaneously.

"Young man, what on earth is this bizarre technique?" Di Xi, failing multiple times to break out and getting wounded several times, could not help but shout angrily.

Qing Yu remained silent, not answering. This "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation" was something he had recently comprehended after achieving results with the Yin Yang Technique, further enhanced by Sunflower Speed— a single-person formation.

It was as if using extreme speed to replicate seven figures, a single person executing the Quanzhen Sect’s "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation". Using the power of one to emulate seven, consuming tremendous power, mental power, and physical strength, Qing Yu dared not relax one bit.

Moreover, as East Island originated from the old Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, being adept in Astrological Numerology was their forte. Qing Yu dared not assure that if Di Xi knew the name "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation", he wouldn’t discern its weak point.

As time passed, Di Xi’s injuries became increasingly severe. He had high self-regard, overly arrogant, not allowing himself any fallback. Losing his golden treasure clothes, which served as both weapon and armor, left "Taibai Sword Sleeves" and "Taiyi Splitting Light Sword" useless. Using fingers as the sword, perhaps he felt his fingers were in excess.

Di Xi grew increasingly irritable. Every time he saw that youth’s face, he inadvertently recalled another face of similar age and equally detestable.

In a fit of rage, as Qing Yu’s next sword stroke approached, Di Xi actively met the sword edge.

The long sword pierced into Di Xi’s left chest as Di Xi grabbed Qing Yu’s sword-holding right hand and directed a point at Qing Yu’s arm, aiming first to disable Qing Yu’s arm.

Using a finger as the sword, "Taiyi Splitting Light Sword".
