Chapter 53: A Bountiful Harvest and a Leap in Strength
Xu Xian killed Pudu Cihang and then contained the giant centipede's body in a small space.
He then immediately sat down cross-legged and quietly contemplated the situation.
Xu Xian killed eight centipede guardians and gained 496 points of Dao Qi.
In addition, there are the 80 points of Dao Qi from Pudu Cihang, and the 71 points of Dao Qi accumulated daily.
At this point, his Dao Qi had reached as many as 647 points.
With a thought, Xu Xian's level increased from 27 to 30.
He allocated his attribute points to constitution and mana, and used a bit of inspiration to deduce the supernatural powers he had learned.
The "Penetrating the Netherworld" supernatural power is at the purple level, while the "Small Heavenly Cycle Hiding Technique," "Heart-Piercing Horse-Diving Poison," and "Palm Square Inch" are all blue-quality supernatural powers. This one fortuitous encounter alone cannot upgrade them.
Other supernatural powers, however, are possible.
Xu Xian closed his eyes and carefully felt it.
First is [Swallow Stepping on Clouds].
This supernatural power is of low quality; the flight speed is very slow, and it cannot truly soar into the heavens.
This is merely a basic method of climbing clouds, no longer sufficient to keep up with Xu Xian's current level of cultivation.
Xu Xian closed his eyes and sensed, deducing the various mysteries of the swallow treading the clouds.
A moment later, auspicious clouds rose from beneath his feet, seemingly about to carry him to the highest heavens.
Upon seeing this, Bai Suzhen exclaimed with delight, "My lord has entered the state of communion with heaven and earth again? This time, you've even gained the supernatural power of escape?"
Xu Xian felt the auspicious clouds beneath his feet and finally smiled.
He has already seen through and repaired the flaw in Yan Ta Yunxiao's technique.
At this point, this supernatural power had reached the blue level, and it was a true method of riding the clouds and mist.
Not only is the speed several times faster, but it is also possible to truly use this supernatural power to fly to the highest heavens and enter the Heavenly Palace.
Having resolved his own escape techniques, Xu Xian began to deduce the Listening Wind Break.
This is a purely offensive divine ability that can silently unleash extremely powerful sword energy.
Xu Xian carefully deduced the power, and his magical power surged, condensing into a towering giant sword.
After a long while, the sword energy dissipated, and Xu Xian exuded a unique and indescribable charm.
Bai Suzhen was extremely surprised.
Although he could no longer see the sword energy, he could clearly sense a hint of danger.
This shows that Xu Xian had completely concealed his sword energy in the shadows, even to the point of deceiving the demon king's detection.
"Your talent is truly admirable."
After mastering the Wind Breaking Technique, Xu Xian upgraded his Mountain Penetration Technique and Ghost Control Technique, both reaching the blue level.
At this moment, Xu Xian's figure became incredibly mysterious, seemingly transcending the Three Realms and Five Elements in an instant.
Beneath the Luoning government office, in the underworld.
Some of the ghosts trembled slightly, and the ghost soldiers and generals looked up at the mortal world.
"What happened?"
"A strange aura entered the underworld, seemingly capable of suppressing the ghosts and demons there."
"That's strange."
These auras, though mysterious, were extremely faint and vanished in an instant.
It didn't attract much attention.
Only the female ghosts, including Nie Xiaoqian, felt a tremor in their hearts.
They clearly sensed that these strange fluctuations came from Xu Xian.
The female ghosts trembled inwardly, marveling at Xu Xian's even more profound cultivation.
Finally, Xu Xian began to deduce the [Heavenly Fire Burns].
A ghostly blue flame rose from his body, seemingly capable of incinerating everything in the world.
Bai Suzhen stood beside Xu Xian, not even daring to touch the flames.
"This...this is actually karmic fire?!"
"What exactly did you learn from this communion between heaven and man, my lord? It's truly admirable."
A moment later, the karmic fire dissipated.
The level of the blazing inferno has successfully reached blue, increasing its power and range several times over.
Xu Xian upgraded all his supernatural powers and elevated the Nourishing Pillow Formula to the blue level.
Then open its own panel and take a closer look.

Xu Xian stood up, briefly assessed his own condition, and exclaimed, "With my current cultivation and supernatural powers, I could even solo the Pudu Cihang."
Bai Suzhen immediately stepped forward and took Xu Xian's hand: "My lord's talent is truly astonishing."
Xu Xian chuckled for a while, politely declined the banquet offered by the Prefect of Luoning, and went directly to Qingyue.
Qingyue already knew Xu Xian's methods, so she naturally bowed respectfully and said, "Immortal Master!"
Xu Xian sighed inwardly and asked, "Your lifespan is coming to an end. Do you have any wishes?"
Qingyue showed no fear, but whispered, "I want to wear clean clothes and have a full meal."
"Um."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen took Qingyue to bathe, bought her a new dress, and then went to the largest restaurant in Luoning City for a feast of delicacies.
After eating, Qingyue returned to the dilapidated temple and waited quietly.
Even though she was just a mortal, she could sense her own state.
Qingyue knew that she would die tonight.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen stood quietly by.
As night fell, Qingyue's breathing gradually ceased, and a hazy figure appeared on her body.
It was Qingyue's soul.
The soul bowed to Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen before returning to the underworld.
Xu Xian then used his supernatural powers to control ghosts.
With a gentle touch, countless golden rays entered his soul.
It makes the soul extremely solid, showing profound virtue.
"Thank you, Immortal."
Qingyue bowed deeply before gracefully entering the underworld.
[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for helping Qingyue's soul return to the underworld. Luck +500]
The night was still, and Xu Xian stood quietly.
Bai Suzhen pressed herself against Xu Xian and whispered, "My lord, where do we go next?"
"Yellow River, Dragon Gate. My lady, it's time for you to transform into a dragon."
-----
Hell.
Qingyue's soul drifted into the underworld, only to be immediately stopped by the ghost messengers: "Hey, hey, hey, how did you, a wandering soul, come down here on your own? Where are the soul-collecting ghost messengers? Where is the City God's travel permit?"
Qingyue, of course, couldn't understand the ghost messenger's guide, and was so frightened by the fierce-looking ghost messenger in front of her that she trembled and couldn't say anything.
Seeing that the soul was so uncooperative, the ghost messengers were about to send it away outside the City of the Wrongfully Dead when they were stopped by the Black and White Impermanence.
"Lord Wuchang, this soul has entered the Netherworld without a guide..."
The Black and White Impermanence did not listen to the ghost messengers, but instead carefully examined Qingyue's soul, their eyes flashing with a strange light.
After a moment, Xie Bi'an said, "It truly is a supernatural power to control ghosts, and it's far more powerful than we imagined!"
Fan Wujiu nodded and said, "It seems that this is the person who killed Black Mountain!"
With a flick of their fingers, the Black and White Impermanence sent forth a wisp of mysterious energy from Qingyue's soul.
"As long as this aura is present, we will naturally be able to find that person."
After the Black and White Impermanence withdrew their aura, they headed towards the City of the Dead, leaving behind the words: "Send this soul into the underworld, where the Ten Kings of Hell will judge it."
"yes!"
The ghost messenger led Qingyue into the city, muttering to himself, "If you had a relationship with Lord Wuchang, you should have told me sooner that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple..."
Outside the City of the Wrongfully Dead, a Rakshasa demon king received orders to go to the mortal realm.
