The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder Chapter 170

Chapter 170– Spirit Lightning Alkaid

The world seems to have flipped over.

Lightning thundered down from the sky, flames spewed out of nowhere, the earth swelled up, wind blades shot everywhere… The scene before her eyes is that of destruction.

Xihe subtly keeps a certain distance from Jialan. While not sparing true qi, she uses her innate ability to extract the spiritual qi of the five elements. Under her control, spiritual qi is refined into various phenomena that are dumped on Jialan.

Each blow contains the power to easily destroy stones and other hard objects.

However, the la.s.s in the center of the storm is still like a mountain.

Jialan just lets the thunder, fire, and other attacks. .h.i.t her. Despite this, the faint gold light around her hasn't received any damage.

Probably since she is proud of her high defense, she doesn't bother to dodge.

Great, just stand there quietly! Xue Qilin shouted inwardly. The opponent making light of the enemy will become her winning chance.

“Little Phecda.”

Xue Qilin called Phecda in a low voice. At the same time, she swept the ground at Jialan's feet with a glance. There are a few talismans, which are the leftover from “Heavenly Fire” cast a moment ago, scattered there.

“Yes.”

Phecda's voice came from Empyrean Universe.

“What is it? Qilin.”

“How much spiritual qi do you have left?”

Xue Qilin asked Phecda while counting the remaining talismans.

“What! Qilin, you want to strike at my 'reserve' again!”

Phecda exclaimed loudly. Xue Qilin could even imagine her eyes widening in disbelief.

“That spiritual qi is something I saved by living frugally! Do you know — ah, ow!”

Seeing that Phecda sounds dissatisfied and is about to prattle on, Xue Qilin kicked Empyrean Universe.

“Give me a break! Can't you see that this is not the time to be stingy? Hurry up and give me all you got! Or do you want to change masters?”

Although she knows that Phecda is only venting her complaint, but Xue Qilin, who is currently irritable, increased her tone, unconsciously, thinking that Phecda cannot see the bigger picture.

“Uwoo — ok, okay… Qilin, you're bullying me to the end.” Phecda, who was scolded, sounds aggrieved, “It should be a little more than what you have at full capacity…”

“Your maximum output is similar to mine, right?”

“Yes… In my current state, it's not much different.”

Phecda lost a larger part of the spirit she acc.u.mulated due to the transfer of her spiritual body to Empyrean Universe. As a result, her current spirit is less than half of her heyday.

If she retained her previous strength, it shouldn't be difficult to break through Imperishable Vajra Body. After all, at that time, her maximum output was higher than that of the Heaven Realm Xue Qilin.

With double the true qi output of the Heaven Realm and by mobilizing the external spiritual qi to the limit, can it break through Imperishable Vajra Body? Xue Qilin estimated the possibility.

“… I can only give it a try! Little Phecda, just transfer your spiritual qi at the maximum output and leave it to me! After this is settled, let's eat dango!”

“Dango! Okay okay, it's a deal!”

Phecda seems motivated.

Little Phecda, that la.s.s sold out her “blood, sweat, and tears” in exchange for food! Xue Qilin laughed inwardly. The gloom brought by Jialan dissipated a little.

That said, under Xue Qilin's introduction, after Little Phecda tasted the sanshoku dango made by the female boss of the famous shop called “Flower Little Dango” in Luotian town, she could not do without them. She has to eat them once a week.

“– Little Phecda, please! Give me as much as you have!”

“Qilin, I am your sword, I am willing to give you my all!”

Phecda calmly announced her determination.

Mhm — Xue Qilin, whose eyes are dyed with the resolve to die, took a deep breath.

The white breath she exhaled, with electric rays coiling around it, slowly rose into the air.

Blue-white electric arcs flashed all over Xue Qilin, playing a “crackling” tune.

Then, numerous talismans scattered.

“– zhen [1] as thunder!”

The sound of Xue Qilin's chanting appears to come both from afar and from nearby, as if it a song coming from a far away place.

The talismans, in response to the chanting, stopped in midair, as if frozen, and absorbed the metal and fire spiritual qi of heaven and earth. At the same time, the symbols and characters on the talismans burst out with a faint glow. Moreover, they shook unnaturally, as if they will come out of the paper at any time. The domain of lightning responded to the call and flashed more violently.

“Power of the firmament, li [2] fire of the spirit, furious thunder of the spring, I guide you with blood!”

Xue Qilin stopped making hand seals and bit her finger.

A large amount of blood poured out of the wound unnaturally. The true qi inside her was quickly drained. In one breath, more than half of it was gone.

The blood extended like ink and formed numerous lines containing true qi. The lines made of blood began to stir, as if they are alive. They intertwined, stretched, and curved in midair, depicting an extremely complex design.

A majestic breath burst out suddenly.

However, Jialan didn't notice it.

Because Xue Qilin seamlessly locked the breath around her.

“Rotate, gather, and add, with one as the beginning and nine as the end. With Alkaid of the Big Dipper as the weapon that runs through enemies and sublimates into an artifact that wards off evil!”

Most of the lightning in the domain was pulled to Empyrean Universe and wrapped tightly around it, while the remaining lightning formed one ring after another in front of Xue Qilin.

Empyrean Universe, in spear form, rose slowly and floated shakily above the la.s.s's palm, but it didn't leave. There seems to be a certain attraction between the two, which tightly connects both sides.

Xue Qilin raised her left hand and pointed forward. At the same time, she pulled her right leg back and a.s.sumed the stance of throwing a spear.

Then, she closed her eyes.

When her eyes opened again, everything in her field of vision receded like a tide, with only Jialan remaining.

“– run through all creation, Spirit Lightning Alkaid!”

The next moment, Empyrean Universe shot out.

— a straight flash split the world in two. The blue-white afterglow looks like a crack in the world.

At this moment, the world fell into a great quiet, and extremely dazzling light set off everything in murky gray.

The moment the spear shot out, the resulting shock flung Xue Qilin back.

In the nick of time, Jialan realized that a threat is rus.h.i.+ng towards her.

She lifted a foot in order to evade, but then a heavy pressure from nowhere suddenly enveloped her, making her movement stagnate for less than a breath of time. She was completely oblivious of the light radiated by the talismans scattered at her feet.

This is a deadly moment.

Xue Qilin, who was thrown into the air, witnessed Spirit Lightning Alkaid touch Jialan. The flash seems to have hit the target.

But, if you take a closer look, you will find —

[1] – zhen (震)

[2] – li (離)
