Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 288: Far Ahead

The body of the Ghost Face Crab is the size of a human head, with six legs that are over three feet long. Its pair of front pincers are thick and sharp, like a pair of scissors made of black steel.

The most unique feature is the ghost face on the front of the crab's shell, which resembles the facial features of a human. Its eyes are crimson red and look extremely horrifying.

A maid uses scissors to open the crab shell and scoops out the golden-yellow paste inside, placing it in white jade bowls for the guests one by one.

Gao Xian is not particularly picky about food, as long as it tastes good.

The golden-yellow paste in the jade bowl looks like melted gold, with fine golden particles and a moist juice. The golden color is very beautiful and pure.

Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye, and it emits a rich and fragrant aroma, making one's appetite soar.

Gao Xian takes a bite with an exquisitely shaped spoon. It melts in his mouth, bursting with a flavor as intense as a flame, and the taste is rich and mellow.

In terms of taste, the Ghost Face Crab is indeed exceptionally delicious.

The paste also contains a strong Spiritual Qi, comparable to a Rank Two Apex Level Medicine Pill.

After Gao Xian refined the Great Vajra Pestle, his form and spirit returned to their origin, and he could immediately detect any problems with what he ate.

He also had avatars that could transfer damage, so he didn't need to be too careful about what he ate or drank.

After tasting the Ghost Face Crab, Gao Xian admits that it is indeed delicious and praises, "Truly exquisite."

Lu Shi Dao says with some pride, "The Ghost Face Crab is very difficult to catch. These few Ghost Face Crabs may not look big, but they are at the Rank Two level. They can't be caught with fishing nets or anything like that. Fishermen who go into the water are often killed by Ghost Face Crabs."

"This creature will die if it is separated from the lake water for a day. Its body will rot in a short period of time. Even storage bags are difficult to preserve."

"It is only in Luhe City at this time of year that you can taste such a delicacy."

Lu Shi Dao raises his glass and says to Gao Xian, "Today, with the presence of Brother Gao, Brother Ye, and Fellow Daoist Ling Zhen, we have this grand gathering. It is also an honor for them to taste the Ghost Face Crab."

"Fellow Daoists, please."

Gao Xian raises his cup and drinks it all in one go. The wine is slightly spicy and bitter, but it complements the flavor of the paste very well, creating a special taste.

This wine is obviously specially made to pair with the Ghost Face Crab.

Fan Ling Zhen drinks a cup and then pours herself another, drinking several cups in a row.

She acts as if she is alone at the table, revealing a natural and genuine demeanor.

This kind of carefree attitude has a unique charm, making this woman even more attractive.

Lu Shi Dao is afraid of an awkward situation, so he says with a smile, "This wine is brewed with Nine-Tailed Snake Grass, with a long-lasting aftertaste. It is a perfect match with the Ghost Face Crab..."

The combination of the Ghost Face Crab and the Nine-Tailed Snake Grass wine will integrate the Spiritual Qi of the cultivator, and in a short period of time, it will have a subtle influence on their Magic power and Divine Sense.

This influence is quite beneficial for cultivators, but in a short period of time, it will cause the cultivator's Magic power to operate somewhat sluggishly, and their Divine Sense will also be affected.

It's like a person who is slightly drunk, clear-headed and able to move freely. However, from consciousness to physical reactions, everything will be slightly slower, but the person themselves will not be aware of it.

Lu Shi Dao arranged this dinner to give Gao Xian a little setback with the Ghost Face Crab and Nine-Tailed Snake Grass wine.

Ye Qiuxiu had already taken a Medicine Pill in advance, so naturally, he would not be affected.

As one gains, the other loses. Ye Qiuxiu now has a great advantage.

Lu Shi Dao doesn't want to kill Gao Xian, as he cannot afford the consequences. But he can't stand Gao Xian, who always overshadows him when it comes to being the leader of Qingyun Faction and the inheritor of the Shenxiao True Transmission.

This feeling is very nauseating.

If Gao Xian can still win in this situation, then it can only be said that Ye Qiuxiu is too incompetent.

Lu Shi Dao enthusiastically toasts, and after eating a small bowl of paste, the group has already had several cups of wine.

Ye Qiuxiu, who is slightly tipsy, suddenly stands up and loudly says, "We have eaten the crab and drunk the wine. Fellow Daoist Gao, let's begin."

Gao Xian smiles and says, "Everyone is in high spirits. Is it appropriate to start now?"

"We cultivators don't have so many rules."

Ye Qiuxiu points to the sparkling heart-shaped lake in front of him and says, "The heart lake is vast enough for you and me to display our skills. Fellow Daoist, please."

Without giving Gao Xian a chance to say anything, Ye Qiuxiu's pale golden giant spirit qi flashes, and he flies onto the surface of the lake.

Ye Qiuxiu loudly declares, "Today, Ye Qiuxiu and Azure Cloud Sect's Shenxiao True Transmission Gao Xian Fellow Daoist will compete and demonstrate their skills. Please bear witness, everyone."

His voice was powerful and resonant, spreading in all directions across the surface of the lake. Almost half of the people in Liuhu City could hear his words.

Gao Xian also admired Ye Qixiu's loud voice a bit. It wasn't a specific spell, but rather the result of his strong physical body.

Naturally, this speech attracted a lot of attention. The people by the lake, needless to say, all widened their eyes.

There were also some cultivators who used mapping spells like the Water Mirror to observe Ye Qixiu.

Ye Qixiu often came in and out of Liuhu City, and his temper was quite strong. He often got into fights with people.

Many people recognized this young Foundation Establishment cultivator with powerful spells.

Even the various powerful cultivators hidden in the southern city were shocked by this shout.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could sense the majestic magic power in this sentence, which also aroused their curiosity.

Even the Water Jade Sakura hidden in the southern city was awakened.

She didn't care about a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, but what caught her attention was that the other party mentioned Gao Xian's name.

"Someone wants to fight Gao Xian?"

Water Jade Sakura became interested and locked onto the source of the voice, waving her hand to create a water mirror out of thin air.

The water mirror technique she used was a secret technique of Qingyun, which could reflect the situation within a radius of over ten miles.

This kind of reflection was not observed through Divine Sense, but through a mysterious mapping of the surroundings using spells.

In Liuhu City, Water Jade Sakura was inevitably suppressed by the city's protective formation.

Even so, it wasn't difficult to use the water mirror technique to map the heart lake several miles away.

Water Jade Sakura adjusted the water mirror slightly and quickly locked onto Ye Qixiu, who was showing off on the lake.

"This strong and burly figure, majestic magic power, and surnamed Ye, is he a disciple of Ye Huanyuan?"

Water Jade Sakura became even more interested. If this kid was killed by Gao Xian, Ye Huanyuan should be more proactive!

On the Zichou Peak in the east of Liuhu City, Sect Leader Lu Bingyang was talking to Ye Huanyuan.

The pavilion where the two were located had a wide view, overlooking the entire Liuhu City and the heart lake.

This place was dozens of miles away from the heart lake, and the two couldn't hear Ye Qixiu's words, nor could they see his figure under normal circumstances.

Ye Huanyuan, however, was too familiar with his disciple. Even though he was just a tiny black dot, he recognized that it was Ye Qixiu.

Ye Huanyuan activated a secret technique. Golden light flickered in his eyes, and he could already see the figure of his disciple dozens of miles away, as well as the arrogance on his face.

"Fighting with someone again?"

He smiled at Lu Bingyang and said, "My disciple is just a combative person. It is precisely because of his strong desire to win and lose that his cultivation base can advance rapidly. However, with such a temperament, he is also prone to disadvantages."

"Between gains and losses, it is also difficult to say."

Lu Bingyang's long white eyebrows twitched slightly, and a strange light flashed in his crimson eyes. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now he wanted to take a look.

Ye Qixiu had a great reputation in Liuhu City, surpassing even Lu Shidao. Of course, Ye Qixiu had a notorious reputation.

Lu Bingyang had never seen this junior, so now he had the opportunity to see Ye Qixiu's abilities.

In his eyes, Ye Qixiu's cultivation of the Giant Spirit True Scripture was quite good, with strong muscles and bones and majestic magic power.

Especially the arrogance between his eyebrows, very imposing.

Given time, he had a good chance of surpassing Ye Huanyuan. He really didn't expect that Ye Huanyuan would be so good at teaching his disciples.

As Lu Bingyang was sighing, he saw a man in green clothes arrive opposite Ye Qixiu.

This man was extremely handsome, standing with a sword in the wind, exuding a natural and unrestrained temperament.

"Gao Xian!"

Lu Bingyang had never seen Gao Xian before, but he recognized his identity at a glance.

After all, cultivators with this kind of temperament at the Foundation Establishment stage were really rare. Especially those eyes, bright as stars yet deep and profound, unforgettable.

"The leader of the Qingyun Conference is indeed extraordinary."

Lu Bingyang nodded involuntarily. Although the two sides hadn't started fighting yet, Gao Xian's demeanor was already far superior to Ye Qixiu.

Upon closer inspection, Gao Xian's magic power circulated mysteriously and deeply, as if it had returned to its origin. He couldn't tell the depth of Gao Xian's cultivation base.

Ye Huanyuan also sensed that something was wrong and hesitantly asked, "Is that person a true disciple of Azure Cloud Sect?"

"Undoubtedly, it is Gao Xian."

Lu Bingyang was very certain. "He came to borrow the Five Elements Grotto-Heaven for cultivation."

"It really is him."

Ye Huanyuan's mood was somewhat complicated. Shui Yuying had just told him about Gao Xian yesterday, and today his disciple was fighting with Gao Xian.

It was quite a coincidence.

To make Shui Yuying so concerned, his foolish disciple definitely couldn't match Gao Xian.

Ye Huanyuan felt a bit uneasy. He only had this one promising disciple, so he couldn't let Gao Xian kill him.

He said, "I've heard that this person is formidable. Don't let anything unexpected happen. I'll go take a look."

"Ah, Gao Xian is a true disciple of Shenxiao Sect. Even if he wins, he won't kill in front of everyone."

Lu Bingyang reached out to stop Ye Huanyuan. He wasn't biased towards Gao Xian, but he didn't want Gao Xian to die in Liuhetown.

Ye Huanyuan was both righteous and evil, but he was clearly closer to Yin Demon Sect. He wouldn't be polite to Gao Xian.

Lu Bingyang smiled and said, "Let the younger generation spar. We can just watch from the side."

Ye Huanyuan was a bit unhappy, but he couldn't argue with Lu Bingyang. The old man had lived for over seven hundred years and was already at the Gold Core late stage, firmly suppressing him in terms of cultivation base.

Not to mention that this was the territory of Liuhetown, protected by layers of formations. If they really fought, he would undoubtedly die.

He could only force a smile and said, "I dote on this disciple of mine. Please forgive me, Sect Leader Lu."

Lu Bingyang smiled, "I understand your deep affection for your disciple. Fellow Daoist Ye, there's no need to be nervous. They are within the formation. If anything unexpected happens, I can also intervene..."

Ye Huanyuan neither agreed nor disagreed. It wasn't easy to control the formation and control a Foundation Establishment cultivator from such a distance.

But since Lu Bingyang had said so, he couldn't say anything more.

While the two were talking, Gao Xian and Ye Qixiu on the lake had already started fighting.

Ye Qixiu took the initiative and shouted loudly, causing the surrounding lake to explode with waves.

Gao Xian on the opposite side could see the invisible sound waves converging into a huge lance, piercing straight towards him.

This kind of sound attack was simple and brutal, but extremely fierce.

If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, this shout could take away half of their life.

Gao Xian could easily avoid it. He disliked fighting head-on with enemies, as it lacked technique and was extremely dangerous.

However, this battle was different. There were countless cultivators watching around the lake.

Retreating would be easy, but it would give the lower-level cultivators the wrong impression, thinking that he couldn't defeat Ye Qixiu or that he was at a disadvantage.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Xian felt that there was no need to be too clever at this moment.

He would crush his opponent with his strength, letting everyone know how formidable he was and how formidable Azure Cloud Sect was.

The more straightforward and brutal it was, the more the spectators would like it. It would also help him gain fame.

Gao Xian faced the invisible sound wave lance and unleashed a powerful Five Elements Sword Qi. Sharp and bright golden spiritual light condensed into Qi, shattering the sound wave lance.

The clash of powerful magic powers caused waves several zhang high to surge.

Many cultivators watching from the shore exclaimed in surprise. They had never seen such a fierce clash of magic powers and were awed by its terrifying might.

However, Shui Yuying, who was hiding behind a big tree, sneered disdainfully. Gao Xian was really good at acting, playing around with a little brat!

The more she thought about it, the more she hated it. If Gao Xian wasn't so good at pretending to be ignorant, she wouldn't be in such a miserable state!

Lushendao, who was watching the battle from the Water Cloud Tower, was also puzzled. Gao Xian was skilled in spells and sword techniques, so why was he engaging in a head-on clash with Ye Qixiu? Wasn't that playing to his opponent's strengths?

What surprised Lushendao even more was that Gao Xian's fierce Five Elements Sword Qi actually broke Ye Qixiu's Giant Spirit Mountain Crusher.

Ye Qixiu's sound attack spell was invincible and he had hardly encountered any opponents in Liuhetown.

Fenling Zhen, with her emerald green eyes flickering, said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Ye Qixiu lost."

Lushendao glanced at Fenling Zhen. The battle had just begun, so it was too early to determine the outcome.

He said, "Brother Ye, you also have the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase, powerful and unmatched."

Before Lu Shidao finished speaking, he saw that Ye Qixiu had already activated the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase.

The Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase is actually a huge Dharma Phase condensed from the Mighty Spirit Qi, closely integrated with Ye Qixiu's physical body.

The towering Mighty Spirit stood firmly behind Ye Qixiu, its intense golden light as thick and strong as gold and iron.

The golden Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase was like a Divine General in the sky, extremely powerful. Ye Qixiu was able to use the Dharma Phase Breathing Exercises to activate his Spiritual Qi, causing his magic power to increase several times over.

Ye Qixiu just stood there, relying on the imposing might of the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase, already intimidating many onlookers.

Lu Bingyang, who was watching on the Zichou Peak, showed appreciation and said, "By condensing the Dharma Phase with a strong physical body as the foundation, the power is multiplied, and being able to control endless Spiritual Qi, Brother Ye's secret technique is extraordinary, truly admirable..."

Lu Bingyang stopped Ye Huanyuan and naturally had to say a few flattering words. On the other hand, Ye Qixiu's display of the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase was indeed impressive.

However, Ye Huanyuan shook his head with a serious expression and said, "Although the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase is powerful, it is difficult to sustain in a prolonged battle. I see that Gao Xian has already returned to his original form and displayed a profound escape technique. If we delay for a while, he can easily deal with my foolish disciple..."

Ye Huanyuan was experienced and could tell from his disciple's anxious use of the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase that there was no chance of winning this battle.

As he was sighing, he saw Ye Qixiu take a step forward and the several zhang tall Dharma Phase behind him also moved.

The giant golden palm fiercely slapped towards Gao Xian, emitting a deep and thunderous roar in the air.

Ye Qixiu was also afraid that Gao Xian would dodge, so he shouted, "Gao Xian, dare you take my palm!"

Gao Xian couldn't help but smile. This guy knew how to provoke others. The Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase was not bad, but it was too slow.

If he wanted to escape, Ye Qixiu wouldn't even be able to see his shadow.

After fighting with several Gold Core Perfected Beings, Gao Xian really looked down on these Foundation Establishment cultivators. Their spell activation was too slow.

"Alright, Fellow Daoist Ye, here I come, be careful."

Gao Xian spoke and activated the Fiery Sun Bullets and Profound Ice Arrows.

At the Thirty-Sixth Stage of the Ice and Fire realm, coupled with his profound attainments in various spells, Gao Xian could already play around with the Fiery Sun Bullets and Profound Ice Arrows in many ways.

Thirty-six Fiery Sun Bullets formed a flaming giant palm, fiercely attacking the Mighty Spirit Dharma Phase.

Thirty-six Profound Ice Arrows formed an icy giant palm, crashing down from behind Ye Qixiu.

The ice and fire spells are connected to form a giant palm shape, but the true power comes from the spells themselves.

Indeed, the scene of the ice and fire giant palms attacking from both sides is extremely stunning, leaving all the spectators in awe.

Ye Qixiu, who is at the forefront, is a bit confused. He has never seen this kind of spell before, so he can only fully activate the Giant Spirit Dharma Phase to adapt.

When the ice and fire giant palms come together, the fierce flames and the profound icy coldness clash with each other, instantly shattering the Giant Spirit Dharma Phase.

Although Ye Qixiu's body is strong, he cannot withstand the clash of ice and fire. The front of his body is charred, and the back is covered in frost. He immediately faints and falls from the sky into the lake.

Ye Huanyuan, who is watching from the Zichou Peak, has a black face. He immediately activates his escape light and flies towards the Heart Lake.

Lu Bingyang shakes his head slightly, appreciating the exquisite use of low-level spells. It truly deserves praise!

The combination of magic and sword is not just empty boasting; it really has some skills.

Lu Bingyang, who has lived for seven hundred years and is at the late stage of the Gold Core realm, is amazed by the fancy changes of the ice and fire palms, let alone ordinary cultivators.

Seeing the ice and fire giant palms easily flatten Ye Qixiu, many of the surrounding spectators exclaim in surprise.

In their eyes, such spells are simply unbelievable.

Looking at Gao Xian, the onlookers' eyes are filled with awe. They all have one thought in their hearts: the leader of the Qingyun Conference is truly worthy of his reputation!

Lu Shidao in the Shuiyun Tower is also stunned. It has been two years since they last met, and Gao Xian has mastered the Flame Blast and Frost Arrow to such a degree that it can be described as extraordinary.

The ice and fire giant palms not only look majestic, but also have great power. Just look at how Ye Qixiu couldn't withstand a single blow.

Fan Lingzhen casually says, "If you don't go save Ye Qixiu, he might drown..."

"Ah." Lu Shidao finally realizes and quickly controls his escape light to fly towards the Heart Lake, only to find that Gao Xian has already brought Ye Qixiu over.

Gao Xian enters the Shuiyun Tower and places Ye Qixiu on the table. He apologizes to Lu Shidao, "I'm sorry, Ye fellow daoist's spell proficiency is high, and I could only go all out, but I ended up injuring Ye fellow daoist..."

Lu Shidao smiles bitterly. He examines Ye Qixiu and finds that the injuries are very severe, but fortunately, he won't die.

Fan Lingzhen stands by, full of admiration, and says, "Gao fellow daoist's spell attainments are truly remarkable, impressive."
