Kill Me More Times, I’ll Become Invincible

Imperial Study in the Imperial Palace of Zhong Province’s Capital.

Young Emperor Wuping sat in front of the long case reviewing memorials, with Founding Emperor Yan standing quietly beside him.

He mostly remained silent, just watching quietly. But even so, it made the young emperor instinctively straighten his back and stay alert.

Founding Emperor Yan, who had reached the pinnacle of the Long Life Fist, could lock his Qi and blood from leaking. Though not as remarkable as Qiao Mu who practiced the "Human Path Sutra," his ability was still extraordinary.

At this moment, Founding Emperor Yan appeared as a young man in his twenties on the surface, looking even younger than the portrait of Founding Emperor Yan hanging in the Imperial Study.

The Human Emperor Sword still hung from Founding Emperor Yan’s waist, occasionally emitting a golden light.

Since the chaos in Jiu Province, the country’s fortune had declined, causing the light of the Human Emperor Sword to dim significantly.

"The Immortal Gate never dares to confront me directly, are they so fearful of this power of luck…"

"They are besieging us instead of attacking, trying to exhaust my Great Yan Imperial Court."

Founding Emperor Yan was not in high spirits. In his prime, he was an unmatched fierce general, conquering the Great Yan territory. But now, Immortal Gate refuses to engage in combat with him holding the Human Emperor Sword. What can he do?

Pondering this, Founding Emperor Yan suddenly sensed something and looked back toward the entrance of the Imperial Study.

Before long, a figure strode over.

This person is Wei En, currently sweating profusely with the sweat drenching his back, the damp clothing sticking tightly, and steam rising from his head.

After the Martial Saint faked his death, but before the rise of the Qiao family member, Wei En, who mastered the Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps, was regarded as the top expert in light footwork by all.

Wei En’s martial arts cultivation is at the 1st rank, but his specialty lies not in direct combat, but in light footwork, interrogation, and the Eye Attacking Technique. His skills in Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps outshine even descendants like Long Shankong of the Eight-armed Heavenly Dragon.

He had amazing lightness skills. He came running from Southwest Province Linhe City, showing off his lightness skills along the way, and rested by sitting quietly on the horseback at the relay station.

"It’s so urgent, it seems like something big happened while Southwest Province has been sealed off for months," said Founding Emperor Yan.

When Wei En set off for Linhe City, Southwest Province had already lost contact with Zhong Province. Only a master like Wei En, with exceptional lightness skills, had a chance to sneak past the main road controlled by the Immortal Gate without a sound.

"Indeed, it is a very serious matter."

Wei En briefly talked about what he had seen in Southwest Province, and at the same time, he took out a few thin thread-bound books from his luggage.

There were "Human Path Sutra," "Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique," and "Divine Transformation Technique," all of which were exquisite skills taught by Peach Blossom Villa to the public.

In fact, this was also the reason why Wei En hurried back from his long journey.

The fortune of Great Yan is declining every day, and if this continues, the deterrent power of the Human Emperor Sword will eventually be completely lost.

So, the personal martial strength of Founding Emperor Yan is actually quite important.

Wei En was knowledgeable and rushed here overnight after obtaining these amazing techniques.

"Divine Transformation Technique? Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique?"

Founding Emperor Yan originally just skimmed through it, then his brows unconsciously frowned, focusing deeply on it.

After nearly half an hour, he finally raised his head, let out a soft sigh.

Martial Saint gave a mnemonic phrase, saying "Harmonize Qi with Spirit."

While a Qiao family member provided a detailed "Divine Transformation Technique," a method of internal strength transformation that has only emerged in the past century.

"This Martial Saint and that Qiao Jin seem to have underestimated me a bit…" Founding Emperor Yan grinned:

"Especially that Qiao Jin."

However, Wei En looked visibly worried.

"Qiao Jin has passed away. Now, Qiao Xin and Qiao Shuangpian from the Qiao family have entrusted me with delivering the ‘Divine Transformation Technique.’"

Qiao Jin is gone?

Founding Emperor Yan was slightly surprised, then felt a bit confused.

Normally, when one’s martial arts reach the level of his and Qiao Jin’s, even when facing an Immortal Gate cultivator, there are various ways to ensure survival.

For example, Founding Emperor Yan actually possesses many miraculous pills in his possession, accumulated by the royal family over hundreds of years. Even during the previous conflict with Qiao Jin in the palace, he did not use them.

"Dead?" Founding Emperor Yan couldn’t help but ask:

"How did such a prominent figure like him die?"

"He died in the hometown of the Spear Saint, Xishan Village…." Wei En briefly explained the situation.

To Founding Emperor Yan’s surprise, Qiao Jin’s death was not very dramatic.

His death was sudden and simple, he died quietly in the deep mountains where no one knew.

"That’s right," murmured Founding Emperor Yan.

"Based on the way Qiao family members behave, no matter how strong their martial arts skills are, they might have a short life."

People who act recklessly will face consequences, using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method is dangerous and can cause severe harm.

"A person like Qiao Jin, has he really died in an unknown place… what a pity," Founding Emperor Yan felt a sense of loss.

He was equally matched in strength with Qiao Jin who once trespassed into the palace, but failed to use his trump card of elixirs in time… one wrong move led to a total defeat.

Therefore, he felt a sense of sympathy towards Qiao Jin, a person he respected, but upon hearing the news of his death, he felt sad for a moment.

"In the past, Qiao Jin said to take me as a mirror. Although he is no longer alive, why can’t I take Qiao family member as a mirror?"

With this thought crossing his mind, Founding Emperor Yan pondered for a moment and then gave an order:

"Copy down the《Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique》, so that the top experts of the Flying Fish Guard can learn it quickly."

"

Founding Emperor Yan has a good eye for things.

If the《Divine Transformation Technique》can improve his internal strength, his power will increase significantly.

While the《Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique》may not benefit his personal martial arts skills, its usefulness to the Great Yan Imperial Court may be as high as the《Divine Transformation Technique》.

Currently, there is chaos in Jiu Province. The court has lost contact with the local areas, and Immortal Gate intentionally blocks almost all the important routes, preventing orders and commands from passing through.

The news of Qiao Jin and Qiao Pian’s deaths, as well as Qiao Xin stopping the flood, only reached Founding Emperor Yan today.

If a certain number of experts master the《Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique》for spiritual refinement, they may break through the blockade of Immortal Gate and help the court monitor the situation in the other eight provinces.

Even if they can’t help from afar, they can still prepare the court.

As for now…

The Founding Emperor Yan glanced at the gradually fading Human Emperor Sword at his waist, then looked at the young emperor reviewing the reports on the desk, and walked away.

…………

In the depths of the one hundred thousand mountains, at the peak of Black Mountain.

The ground shook violently around them, splitting open and closing again, and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Mu and the others found themselves at the top of Black Mountain.

Soft moonlight shone down, rustling the trees in the surrounding forest.

The extraordinary power made Wu Qizheng and the others look on in awe.

"The essence of Mountain Mother is that this Black Mountain itself has birthed wisdom, comparable to a nature deity. Within the scope of this Black Mountain, her complete power is akin to a mountain deity, able to manipulate things on Black Mountain as if at her fingertips."

"The villagers here worship her as ‘Madam Mountain Mother,’ like a mountain deity, which is quite fitting in a way."

The beginner soul cultivator also has the ability to control the weather, causing disasters easily.

But on top of this Black Mountain, Mountain Mother effortlessly changes the landscape of the mountain, just like breathing.

"No wonder Wu Qizheng is so sure that since the Martial Saint has come to Southwest Province, he will not miss Mountain Mother," Qiao Mu also thought.

The powerful blood of the demon clan is actually much larger than that of human martial artists.

Creatures like Mountain Mother and Sky Piercing Water Spirit are extraordinarily large, much bigger than ordinary demons.

It’s like comparing a 50kg lightweight boxer to a 200kg sumo wrestler – they can’t really be compared on a similar level.

Mountain Mother, as a huge demon, is like a lightweight boxer compared to a 1000kg muscle mountain demon king.

Even if their cultivation levels are similar, a huge demon like Mountain Mother is vastly different from other demon clans.

This is why Mountain Mother and Sky Piercing Water Spirit are considered to have the potential to become a trump card for the Yunxiao Sect.

The first type of creatures are natural spirits born of the earth and sky, while the latter type are natural spirits born from the mystical powers of the Immortal Gate. Each mountain and river possess great power beyond that of ordinary monsters.

At this moment, when the jade woman revealed her identity, Zhang Kui and Dedication Brother were extremely excited and quickly bowed down in reverence.

Qiao Mu, on the other hand, was not respectful. He walked up curiously and carefully examined the jade woman whose half body was stuck in the mountain wall.

This jade woman was captivatingly beautiful, a manifestation of the fantasies of countless young men over the years, embodying the goddess of their imaginations. She naturally possessed extraordinary beauty that was otherworldly.

Only half of her body was exposed at the moment, crafted from jade yet curvaceous and possessing a rare soft beauty.

Though only half a body, her upper torso revealed was full and shapely, exuding grace and softness.

"A beautiful woman with half her body stuck in the wall? What kind of fantasy for young men is this…" Qiao Mu muttered to himself.

"Could it be your backside is on the other side of the mountain wall?" He joked.

He stretched his neck to look behind the mountain wall.

He wanted to see if there really was a half butt behind the mountain wall, but all he saw behind was a lot of rocks.

Mountain Mother hadn’t spoken yet, but Wu Qizheng next to her couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Why is Mr. Qiao so reckless and daring? Although Mountain Mother is not an ordinary woman, she is after all a mysterious creature with unpredictable temperament…"

This Mountain Mother is not a weak woman with half a body stuck on a wall.

As the spirit of this mountain, Mountain Mother can manipulate the Black Mountain’s movements and change the landscape with just a thought.

If they angered Mountain Mother, they might be crushed under Black Mountain the next moment, with their butt facing outward.

To Wu Qizheng’s surprise, when Mountain Mother faced them, she was unusually patient and calmly explained:

"I am not an ordinary woman, my human form is just a disguise."

"So my butt is not stuck behind the mountain wall, only my half body is."

"Hmm? Did you really answer seriously?" Wu Qizheng asked in surprise.

"If Mr. Qiao has any thoughts on the latter half of my body as a ‘jade woman’…" the calm jade woman spoke.

"You can touch the Sincerity Gold Stone, convey your thoughts to me, and help me make a decision or two."

As she spoke, the jade woman waved her hand casually.

With a rumbling sound, water-like ripples appeared on the mountain wall, followed by many strange-shaped buttock-like protrusions suddenly emerging…

So strange, too strange…

But having buttocks on the mountain wall was as strange as having them on the chin, not at all charming, but rather oddly eerie.

However, Qiao Mu and the others realized that this jade woman Mountain Mother seemed quite easy to talk to and friendly towards them.

"From what you’re saying, it seems like it’s not yet time to break out of the cocoon, right?" Qiao Mu asked.

"With only half a body, it seems unable to walk in human form?"

Though this half-shaped figure is just an imitation, it is enough to show the current situation of Mountain Mother.

The so-called jade woman is not an independent individual.

She only has half a body on the stone wall, the rest is integrated with Black Mountain, unable to separate or move freely.

"Yes," Mountain Mother nodded.

"Over the years, I have been sleeping more and more to gather strength, in order to leave this mountain."

Mountain Mother is the spiritual wisdom born within Black Mountain, but like a slow and clumsy giant.

Although she has immense power, she can control this mountain as easily as waving her hand.

But she has lost the freedom to move around like ordinary supernatural beings.

"How can we help you leave this Black Mountain?" Wu Qizheng asked solemnly.

He only cares about how to defeat Martial Saint.

The current Mountain Mother only has half of her body, like an immovable sitting duck.

Facing ordinary enemies, maybe there’s no need to hide, but against Martial Saint…

Wu Qizheng is not optimistic.

He revealed the matter of Martial Saint, bluntly stating that Martial Saint is likely approaching, which will endanger Mountain Mother’s life.

But the jade woman closed her eyes at the mention of Martial Saint.

"He’s already here."

Milky white mist gathered, quickly forming the towering figure of Martial Saint.

In the scene formed by condensed water mist, Martial Saint was walking in a dark fog where you couldn’t see your own hand.

His thick black hair was blowing in the wind as he walked with his eyes closed in the dark fog, yet his movements were not slow at all.

"Hmm?" Wu Qizheng’s expression changed slightly.

"Are you relying solely on intuition to travel with your eyes closed?"

Martial Saint’s achievements in the Spiritual Refining Method were unprecedented, although the black fog of Mountain Mother could isolate the inside from the outside, it could only temporarily block Martial Saint.

Even though he couldn’t see with his eyes closed and couldn’t tell the direction in the black fog, he could rely on his intuition to travel.

Wu Qizheng looked at Qiao Mu beside him, his gaze complex.

At this point, his task was already completed.

Wu Qizheng was a guide, only responsible for finding the trace of Martial Saint.

Whether Qiao family member can kill Martial Saint and meet his expectations will depend on their strength.

"Martial Saint’s instincts in spiritual refining seem to be stronger than I expected." Wu Qizheng hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qiao Mu.

"If Mr. Qiao is not completely confident, he can actually temporarily withdraw, not necessarily confront Martial Saint at this moment."

"Do you want me to retreat?" Qiao Mu smiled instead.

"At this point, you’re telling me to retreat?"

"Martial Saint has always been very clever. A person like him would definitely not take risks lightly."

"Who can be completely confident when facing Martial Saint?" Qiao Mu said calmly.

"Wu Qizheng, you have already done your part in guiding. From now on, whether Qiao wins or loses, lives or dies, it’s all up to Qiao’s abilities, and has nothing to do with you."
