Immortal Father - Chapter 37.1 - Showing Brilliance

Thunder rumbled on Rosy Cloud Peak, and the surging spiritual qi waves turned into violent winds blowing in all directions.

The Qi Practitioners were silent.

Two True Immortals had already rushed onto the stage to protect the unconscious Wang Zaizhi.

These two True Immortal old women had complicated expressions and were in disbelief as they looked up at Li Ping’an, who was slowly descending.

At this moment, Li Ping’an’s body was empty, his magic power had almost stopped flowing, and his primordial soul was listless.

But he still appeared quite calm. He raised his left hand in front of him and placed his right hand behind his back, giving off a sense of elegance and calmness that radiated from the inside out.

All eyes were on this young disciple who was only at the Light Condensation realm. Discussions began to appear from all directions.

They had all witnessed with their own eyes how Li Ping’an won.

It was precisely because they saw it with their own eyes that they found it even more unbelievable.

He had only cultivated for three years.

With his Light Condensation cultivation, he had learned immortal spells and techniques of the sect. He had even reached a high level of mastery and could use them at will.

He had combined the Dao of Talismans with arrays and mastered the rather complicated Dao of Talisman Arrays.

There was also the method of hundreds of powerful magic artifacts self-destructing simultaneously…

What kind of comprehension ability was this to be able to achieve this in three years?

In the current cultivation world of the East Continent, when evaluating the potential of Qi Practitioners, the greatest importance was on aptitude, followed by fortune, and then comprehension ability.

This wasn’t to say that the comprehension ability of Qi Practitioners wasn’t important, but because there were all kinds of bottlenecks that Qi Practitioners could encounter on the path of cultivation that were affected by multiple factors. There had been too many so-called ‘talented’ Qi Practitioners with ‘astounding comprehension ability’. They had fallen into a dead end because they couldn’t understand a principle and fell into a bottleneck.

To a certain extent, comprehension ability was even more mysterious than fortune. Over time, no one dared to boast about astonishing comprehension ability.

But now, the immortals were looking at Li Ping’an’s figure and feeling emotional and admiration.

With just the two ‘crafts’ of Cloud Mimicry and talisman arrays, after Li Ping’an’s cultivation reached the Origin Immortal realm, he would have the strength to challenge ordinary True Immortals.

And the strange move of scattering hundreds of magic artifacts and detonating them at once that Li Ping’an had used at the end seemed to be a perfect fusion of arrays and artifact control…

The layman watched the fun, while the expert watched the art.

At this moment, the artificers and array masters were silent.

They saw a ‘path’ that had never appeared before.

In the audience, Mu Ningning looked at Li Ping’an’s figure, her eyes fixed on him, her mind empty. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Sword Cloud Peak’s Gu Qingcheng muttered, “What an expensive attack.”

Li Ping’an had already landed on the stage. He looked down at the unconscious Wang Zaizhi, cupped his hands at the two True Immortals, and raised his hand to take the pagoda that had tumbled to the side into his hand.

The quality of this immortal treasure pagoda was indeed good.

He looked below the stage and threw the pagoda down.

Mu Ningning was in a daze while looking at her senior brother. When she saw him throw something, she subconsciously reached out to catch it.

Li Ping’an smiled. “Ask Aunt-Master Qingxu to help you refine it. It’s not bad.”

Then Li Ping’an cupped his hands to the True Immortals on the stage and the referee below the stage and floated back to his original position.

“Senior Brother…” Mu Ningning wanted to say that this treasure was too valuable, but she was besieged by the gazes of her senior and junior sisters around her. Her face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly carried the pagoda to True Immortal Qingxu.

Exclamations of admiration rang out on the cloud platforms everywhere.

The referee said loudly, “The winner of this match is Li Ping’an, disciple of Immortal Qingsu!”

One stone stirred up a thousand ripples. The surrounding discussions became even noisier.

An immortal suddenly shouted, “The Mortal Affairs Hall is too biased! How can they give a young disciple so many magic artifacts and secret techniques!”

Wei Yanzi jumped up and shouted, “I guarantee with my life! Young Friend Ping’an made all those magic artifacts himself! He comprehended the secret technique to detonate magic artifacts himself! I saw him demonstrate it himself with my own eyes! And seven of my robes were damaged by the explosions!”

Laughter immediately broke out all around.

The immortal who shouted could only smile awkwardly and cup his hands at Wei Yanzi without saying anything else.

Li Ping’an had just sat cross-legged and meditated when a voice entered his ears. It was Elder Yan Cheng giving advice.

“Later, hand over half of your secret technique to detonate magic artifacts to the sect. I will ask for credit for you.”

Li Ping’an cupped his hands in agreement.

The three words ‘hand over half’ were very particular.

Elder Yan Cheng’s intention was to get Li Ping’an to contribute a secret technique to the sect. However, he didn’t need to reveal all of this secret technique. If he didn’t want others to learn it, he could hide the key parts. What was important was to ‘take the initiative to hand over the technique he created’.

Li Ping’an swallowed two pills and was about to recover his magic power to deal with his upcoming match when he suddenly felt a gaze from the side.

Gu Qingcheng was looking at Li Ping’an with a complicated expression.

Li Ping’an didn’t understand. “What’s wrong? Is my face injured?”

Gu Qingcheng looked depressed, but he didn’t hide anything. “You actually gave in to me earlier. With your ability, even those senior brothers and sisters at the True Integration realm won’t be able to defeat you!”

Li Ping’an smiled. “This move can only be used once in a short time.”

“Why?”

Li Ping’an looked at the dozens of ring-shaped storage magic artifacts in his main storage magic artifact and sighed. “I only have this bit of wealth. I used it all just now. I crafted these magic artifacts myself and accumulated them over two years. How can I usually have so much wealth and time?”

“That’s right. You indeed incur huge losses with this move. It’s really disadvantageous to use it in a spar.” Gu Qingcheng’s Dao Heart was much more balanced. But then he frowned and said, “Did Wang Zaizhi take the wrong pill this morning? Why did he target you like that? He’s not usually like this. Although he’s arrogant and despotic, he’s not so rude.”

This disciple was just following orders. Li Ping’an had just seen Elder Bi’s back as he flicked his sleeves and left the grandstand. His Dao Heart felt quite refreshed.

Even though it felt refreshing, Li Ping’an had already begun to think about how to resolve the ‘threat’ from this inner sect elder, a Heavenly Immortal Qi Practitioner.

Mo Yi’s small group was becoming more and more threatening.

But there was a chance now…

He said, “Everyone is young and hot-blooded once. I’ll recover my magic power first.”

“Please! Let’s drink and have a good chat after the competition!”

Li Ping’an closed his eyes and focused, beginning to concentrate on absorbing the medicinal power.

A light ice blue immortal light appeared behind him.

At some point, Qingsu had arrived behind him. She was standing with her hands behind her back like an orchid in an empty valley.

…

Meanwhile, in the center of the grandstand…

“Fellow Daoist Dazhi, it’s really impressive that Nephew Ping’an has such comprehension ability.”

“At such a young age, he can actually comprehend secret techniques of the Myriad Cloud Sect and even create his own battle moves. He can easily defeat a peak Void Refinement disciple at the Light Condensation realm. Why doesn’t my sect have a disciple half as good as him?”

“To be honest, Fellow Daoist Dazhi is even more astonishing. Three years to reach the Origin Immortal realm!”

“No wonder your Myriad Cloud Sect has kept its gates closed for the past two years. You can’t even trust us? Hahahaha!”

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the sect masters of a few friend sects, the Myriad Cloud Sect Master grinned from ear to ear.
