What delighted Wang Xiaoqiang was not only that he had ascended to the Third Transformation of the Immortal, but also that during the recent battle with the Corpse Demon, he had perfectly melded the Meditation Arts "Star Chart" with the Divine Arts Thunderclap Annihilation Palm, achieving an overwhelming power that enabled him to massively annihilate the formidable Corpse Demons.
It's worth noting that even the lowest-ranking Corpse Demons possess strength comparable to a Fifth Transformation Immortal Cultivator. Just imagine, Wang Xiaoqiang was now able to massively eliminate Fifth Transformation Immortal Cultivators—what formidable strength he must possess!!
However, he discovered that although this Visualization-Type Technique was incredibly powerful, it was not so easy to execute. In a one-on-one fight, it was manageable, but in group combat, it lacked flexibility. Therefore, during a break in his cultivation that day, he opened the second page of the Star Chart.
This page was the Leo Constellation Chart.
Upon opening it, the ten bright stars on it twinkled and continuously changed colors. With each color change, the human figure on it shifted into a different posture—now a Fierce Tiger's dominating form, now a ferocious lion's roar... Each posture was bizarre, wild, and almost unbearable to watch. Wang Xiaoqiang stared at it for a long time, hesitating whether or not to cultivate it.
Suddenly, he thought of the Patterned Beast.
Although this creature was large-bodied, possessed abnormal strength, excelled in flying, and could go invisible, it lacked a concrete attacking ability.
The intelligence of the Patterned Beast was comparable to that of Spirit Beasts, which knew various attack skills. Why couldn't the Patterned Beast cultivate as well?
Let the Patterned Beast cultivate this Visualization-Type Technique!
Wasn't this Leo Constellation Chart tailor-made for the Patterned Beast?
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoqiang became excited.
With a thought, the Patterned Beast flew down from his body to the ground.
Wang Xiaoqiang reached out his hand to it.
The Patterned Beast immediately understood, lowering its beast head like a child, stretching it toward Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang caressed its huge skull, then placed the Leo Constellation Chart on the ground in front of it.
The Patterned Beast, following its master's intention, stared at the constellation chart with unblinking tiger eyes, observing it as if human.
While the Patterned Beast fixed its gaze on the Star Chart, Wang Xiaoqiang also watched the Patterned Beast intently.
Seeing the Patterned Beast carefully observe the chart like a human, Wang Xiaoqiang felt thrilled.
Then he saw the Patterned Beast start to move. It began adopting the postures shown on the chart, even posing in the first position illustrated for the lion constellation.
Witnessing this scene, Wang Xiaoqiang was delighted.
At this moment, he set aside his concerns. When the chart changed through seven colors, the Patterned Beast made seven different poses. These poses, although bizarre and savage in human terms, appeared not only less wild but more majestic when performed by the Patterned Beast.
After completing the seven poses, Wang Xiaoqiang had even forgotten to restrain the Patterned Beast with his willpower when the creature, caught up in its excitement, suddenly bellowed out a roar...
Roar!
The sound thundered like an explosion, causing the ground to tremble. Wang Xiaoqiang's ears buzzed. If he had not been physically linked to the Patterned Beast, offering him some protection when it cast spells, it could well have shattered his eardrums or even exploded his skull, possibly fracturing his meridians.
With the Patterned Beast's mighty roar echoing for miles, the nearby Barbaric Demons issued panicked low whines, sounding profoundly sorrowful.
In his joy, Wang Xiaoqiang then released Yangg Ling and made love to her in the clouds.
Yangg Ling happily said, "Little Qiang, your cultivation base has reached the Third Transformation of the Immortal."
"Exactly, I obtained a Corpse Crystal."
"Little Qiang, are you thinking of leaving the Mystic Yin Mountains…?"
"Yes."
"If you do leave, it's best to mingle in the Rogue Cultivator World,"
"Why?"
"The forces in the Rogue Cultivator World are not as mighty as those of the orthodox Immortal Cultivators. Even if you offend any of the Rogue Cultivator Forces, there's no need to be too afraid. Moreover, there are serious divisions among the rogue cultivators; to put it plainly, they aren't united and often engage in chaotic battles. Only when orthodox Immortal Cultivators move to exterminate the Rogue Cultivators do they band together. Do you understand?"
"I understand," replied Wang Xiaoqiang. "But before going to the Rogue Cultivator World, I need to kill Li Bali."
"Killing Li Bali, Little Qiang, this could be very dangerous."
"Don't worry. I now have enough strength to kill him," Wang Xiaoqiang said.
"Little Qiang, you have enough strength to kill Li Bali, but don't forget, you killed Hann Beifeng, and the Five Spirit Sect must be issuing a warrant for your arrest. If you go back like this, aren't you just throwing yourself into the net?"
"Of course, I'm not going back," Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze fixed on Yangg Ling, "This matter, you need to step in..."
"Me, what can I do?"
"Li Bali must have women in the Five Spirit Sect..."
"Women? Of course, he has many, from the inner sect to the outer sect. There's a woman named Li Mei in the outer sect. Li Bali usually stays at her place whenever he visits the outer sect."
"Good, you sneak back to the Five Spirit Sect, find Yangg Mei, and have her tell Li Bali that Wang Xiaoqiang is waiting for him at the entrance of the Mystic Yin Mountains. If he doesn't come, he's a coward..."
"Hmm, this idea is good, but I'm afraid that Li Bali definitely won't come alone. What if he calls for help?" Yangg Ling expressed his concerns.
"I think not. Li Bali is stubborn and extremely prideful. He won't call for help as that would embarrass him," Wang Xiaoqiang analyzed.
"Hmm, that makes sense," Yangg Ling said before adding, "But what if he really calls for help?"
"It's fine, as long as the Five Spirit Sect Leader doesn't come, there's no danger," Wang Xiaoqiang said, a smile of relief spreading across his lips.
"Hmm," Yangg Ling nodded.
That night, was full moon night.
The Immortal Realm also had the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival. Last Mid-Autumn, Li Bali had spent it with Li Mei in the outer sect. She thought that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Bali would surely be at the outer sect with Li Mei as well.
So, Yangg Ling secretly went to the outer sect, found Li Mei's stone house, and as she entered, she found Li Mei preparing dinner and drinks,
Seeing Yangg Ling, with whom she normally had no dealings, enter, Li Mei exclaimed, "What are you doing here?"
"Yo, preparing such a lavish dinner, is it to entertain Li Bali?" Yangg Ling sneered.
"Mind your own business," Li Mei remembered that Yangg Ling was siding with Wang Xiaoqiang, and Wang Xiaoqiang was Li Bali's mortal enemy, so her words were not kind.
"Prepare all you want, tonight, someone will be coming for Li Bali's life," Yangg Ling sneered.
"Who?"
"Who else but Wang Xiaoqiang," Yangg Ling said, "Do me a favor and tell Li Bali that Wang Xiaoqiang is waiting for him at the entrance to the Mystic Yin Mountains. If he's scared, he better not come and just hide inside a woman's skirts like a coward..."
"You..." Li Mei angrily said, "Just with Wang Xiaoqiang, he dreams of killing Li Bali."
"If you're not convinced, come along tonight and see for yourself how Wang Xiaoqiang is going to kill Li Bali. Humph..." Yangg Ling sneered and then turned and left.
Not long after Yangg Ling left, Li Bali arrived. Entering Li Mei's stone house and seeing the sumptuous dinner prepared and Li Mei dressed charmingly, he embraced her tightly, "Little Meimei, I've missed you,"
"Bali, stop it for now," Li Mei pushed Li Bali away and seeing that he looked puzzled, she said, "It's not that. Just now, Yangg Ling came by, saying that Wang Xiaoqiang is waiting for you at the entrance to the Mystic Yin Mountains,"
"Wang Xiaoqiang, waiting at the entrance...?" Li Bali said suspiciously, "Is that true?"
"Of course, it's true. Yangg Ling said he wants to kill you. If you're scared, just don't go."
"Damn, I'm not scared of him, I'm more scared he wouldn't show up. Now that he's coming out, it's even better. I'll go squash him then come back for dinner," said Li Bali, letting go of Li Mei and started walking out.
"Hey, Bali, take me with you. I want to see for myself how you're going to kill Wang Xiaoqiang. Also, I want to personally kill that Yangg Ling," Li Mei gritted her teeth, showing a fierce expression.
"Good, let's go together," Li Bali said, lifting Li Mei onto his shoulders, then they left the stone house and flew towards the entrance of the Mystic Yin Mountains.
The moon was hanging high.
At the entrance of the Mystic Yin Mountains.
Wang Xiaoqiang and Yangg Ling stood together, seeing two figures flying towards them from afar.
It was Li Bali and Li Mei.
"Wang Xiaoqiang, having been a coward for so long, you finally show up. Well, next year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be your memorial day..."
Li Bali said as he and Li Mei had already landed in front of them. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to QiDian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
