In the vast starry sky, the void twisted, and a figure slowly emerged from the distortion. The figure, clad in gray robes, stood tall and imposing. Though not particularly handsome, he exuded a majestic aura. His presence felt even more brilliant and dazzling than the starry sky itself.
The figure moved through the starry sky, executing a series of intricate martial arts moves with graceful fluidity. At that moment, it seemed as if the entire sky trembled with his every motion.
As he performed the martial arts, a deep, ancient, raspy voice resonated through the sky:
"My life can be divided into three stages. In the first stage, I fought 3,800 battles and lost every one. In the middle stage, I fought 5,300 battles and lost 5,000 of them. In the final stage, I fought 8,000 battles and lost only ten."
"In the remainder of my life, people bestowed upon me the title of Martial Emperor. I created my own martial art, the Martial Emperor's Technique. In the battle of Heaven and Earth, with this technique, I beheaded three generals and severely injured one king. Although I fell, it was enough to make me proud of my achievements."
"The Martial Emperor's Technique is difficult for ordinary people to master. If you have obtained my martial art but have not yet perfected it, you cannot claim my legacy."
As the last words echoed, the figure punched forward, causing the entire starry sky to tremble. Countless stars fell like a meteor shower...
The next moment, the scene changed, and Xiao Tian's vision returned to the Supreme Clear Immortal Pool. The martial arts techniques demonstrated by the Martial Emperor had all entered Xiao Tian's mind.
This Martial Emperor's Technique was even more formidable than the Great Desolation Prisoner's Hand. Without the Great Desolation Scripture, the Prisoner's Hand could not compare to it.
"Now is not the time to familiarize myself with the Martial Emperor's Technique. I remember there might be something troublesome at the bottom of this pool."
Thinking this, Xiao Tian stood up and leaped into the Immortal Pool. Upon entering, he felt an extremely pure and unique energy flowing into him, beginning to heal his old injuries. Despite his robust body, some residual wounds had lingered.
While absorbing the pool's energy, Xiao Tian swam quickly toward the bottom. Though the pool wasn't large, the bottom was spacious with many winding passages, creating a complex terrain.
He spread out his powerful soul force, searching for a long time before finding a hidden spot where an emerald green light glowed. Within the light was a naked jade-like body, curled up inside, resembling a sleeping mermaid. It was Lin Qingzhu.
However, beneath her, green threads connected to the surrounding light cluster. Xiao Tian's soul force revealed a skeletal figure lying in the mud, with green threads emanating from the bones and attaching to Lin Qingzhu.
Something was continuously being drawn from Lin Qingzhu's body into the bones, causing green light to flicker in the eye sockets of the skeleton.
"Damn it, it's stealing my wife's life force!" Xiao Tian was furious.
He grabbed the threads and used his devouring power to absorb them. As he did, the green threads dimmed and broke off. Despite this, Lin Qingzhu remained unconscious.
Xiao Tian moved quickly, embracing Lin Qingzhu. Her cold, delicate body in his arms stirred his heart.
Suddenly, the skeleton in the mud trembled and sat up.
"Get lost!" Xiao Tian struck it from afar, turning the eerie bones to ash with a "boom."
"No!"
A voice filled with endless resentment echoed as the skeleton disintegrated.
"Whoosh!"
A green light flashed from the skeleton and entered Lin Qingzhu. Xiao Tian saw an intricate spirit seal within the green light, exuding vast energy.
Clearly, it was a spirit seal. These seals are rare treasures formed from the life essence of powerful beings. People like Su Rou and Yuan Cang had acquired such seals before.
While spirit seals have benefits, they also have drawbacks. The advantage is they can enhance the holder's cultivation, but the downside is the risk of the creator's consciousness overtaking the holder's, allowing them to be reborn.
With the resources of the Nine Heavens Supreme Clear Palace, Xiao Tian was confident they could handle this issue, so he wasn't overly worried for Lin Qingzhu.
As he floated upward, he noticed Lin Qingzhu stirring in his arms. Her clear eyes and flushed, beautiful face made the atmosphere awkwardly silent.
"Let go of me!" Lin Qingzhu struggled.
"In such a beautiful moment, let's do something nice," Xiao Tian joked, kissing her dominantly.
"Mmm..."
The kiss made Lin Qingzhu's body tense. She quickly tried to resist but couldn't break free from Xiao Tian's strong hold.
...
"Boom!"
After a long while, the surface of the Supreme Clear Immortal Pool exploded. Xiao Tian flew out, running quickly away.
Behind him, water splashed, and a white-clothed figure with a frosty face chased him with a sword. Although Xiao Tian was much stronger, he felt guilty and kept running.
"Qingzhu, I was saving you! If I hadn't gone down, you'd have lost your life force to that skeleton," Xiao Tian shouted as he ran.
"Rubbish!" Lin Qingzhu bit her silver teeth. "What does that have to do with you taking advantage of me?"
"We're almost married, it's normal to be close," Xiao Tian replied.
"Bastard! That wasn't being close, it was humiliating!" Lin Qingzhu remembered the awkward positions and wanted to slice him in half.
After a while, Xiao Tian stopped and said, "Stop, stop!"
Seeing Lin Qingzhu still wanting to attack, he quickly said, "If you don't stop, I'll drag you back into the pool!"
"You..."
Hearing Xiao Tian's threat, Lin Qingzhu had to stop.
"Look!" Xiao Tian pointed to the pool. "The water is clear now."
"The skeleton's energy must have empowered the Supreme Clear Immortal Pool," Lin Qingzhu said. "Now, the pool's abilities are gone forever."
"How did you attract that skeleton?" Xiao Tian asked.
"It had some connection to the Nine Heavens Supreme Clear Palace. When I entered the pool, I received some information from it, but I didn't expect it to try to steal my life force," Lin Qingzhu explained, her eyes flashing coldly. If not for Xiao Tian, she would have perished.
Xiao Tian warned, "No wonder the spirit seal chose you. Be careful."
"I will," Lin Qingzhu nodded.
"Now, let's head to the teleportation site. The sect competition should be starting," Xiao Tian said.
