Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 621 - 573: Showing Off Immortal Technique
"Fair competition, the ultimate faith of the True Martial Super Continent should be decided by its own people. Since the people have entrusted their fate to Ruan Wushen, a more trustworthy figure, Ruan Wushen's decision is the choice of the continent's people. As an Immortal, you interfere without reason, not only making empty promises to the Martial Gods of the Martial God Institute but also conspiring with Chang Chou to control the entire institute. How is this different from the deceitful State Preceptor?" Wu Hen began to argue with the Red Immortal.
Ruan Muhuan's rapid rise to become the hope of the True Martial Super Continent's people signified the years of suffering endured by the people, yearning for a new Martial God who did not collude with the Martial God Institute to overthrow this situation.
Chang Chou realized that he had lost both power and popular support. If he were to step down voluntarily and find a place to live out his retirement, he could still end well. However, even in his old age, he still desired to rule the continent, and since his strength could no longer advance, he began to believe in cultivation. Indeed, once humans stand high enough, they become superstitious about cultivation.
"Boy, show some respect to the Immortal. You should know what you are!" Chang Chou stiffened, pointing at Wu Hen.
"What are you, to point your finger at my elder brother? Chang Chou, the saying 'an old man not dying is a bandit' fits you perfectly. For years, you killed countless genius Martial Gods who could surpass you. You know this better than anyone, yet you shamelessly claim to lead our True Martial Continent into the High Martial Era. As long as you're alive, the True Martial Super Continent will never step into the High Martial Era. Prepare to die, for I, Du Mao, have waited long for this day!" Du Mao vented all the fury in his heart.
During those days in the Scroll Realm, Du Mao nearly became lost.
He couldn't understand why, despite his diligence and obsession, strictly adhering to the teachings of his predecessors, even maintaining his virginity to preserve his Yang Qi, all it led him to was a dead end.
Du Mao once regarded Chang Chou as a sincere elder. Even after his downfall, he felt guilty for failing him, not realizing it was Chang Chou's guidance that was the most sinister, causing his meridians to block, his Qi Acupoints to collapse, and his True Qi to completely thrash, transforming into spears that locked his Qi Ming.
If it weren't for his elder brother Wu Hen telling him to forget all past teachings, to re-evaluate himself and start anew, he might have severed his meridians with each cultivation attempt.
Now, Du Mao had found his True Martial Path. Even if a towering mountain stood before him, as long as he steadily climbed one after another, he could see the peak leading to the High Martial Realm!
There was no need for an Immortal to open the Cang Acupoint because the Cang Acupoint was simply the next realm of Qi Ming, a new starting point for the High Martial Realm.
Both Ruan Muhuan and Du Mao could clearly see their path to higher peaks. They understood that the so-called Martial God's Aura was merely one of the great realms within the True Martial, and although Cangxue True Qi represented the High Martial, it was accessible to every Martial God. Only those who took shortcuts and abandoned the True Martial Path could not see it, and therefore needed the aid of Immortals.
"Heh! Now we are no longer on the same level. Killing you is as easy as killing a starving dog on the roadside!" With soaring confidence, Chang Chou charged directly at Du Mao and Ruan Muhuan, intending to fight both simultaneously.
Du Mao did not let Ruan Muhuan make a move this time.
He stepped forward with immense True Qi like a speeding meteor, creating a crimson glow as it clashed with the air!
With one punch, mighty waves of fist energy spread wider than the sea of clouds, instantly transforming into thousands of destructive fist storms.
Chang Chou, donned in the robe of earth, drew a Yellow Earth Divine Saber from the lands and struck at Du Mao.
Du Mao initially thought that after opening the Cang Acupoint, Chang Chou's strength would greatly increase. Surprisingly, the opponent only gained a divine skill to control the yellow earth. Seeing the yellowish Cang Qi surging on Chang Chou, Du Mao found it laughable.
"Clearly your own Martial Path, yet you rely on others to open it for you. This Cang Huang True Qi is extremely weak and entirely borrowed... it was not comprehended by your own effort." Du Mao continued to attack with his fists, calm and unfaltering.
"What do you know? This is the most orthodox Cang Huang True Qi, representing the High Martial Realm. I am fundamentally different from you. Even the gods of the Holy Sect at the same level are no match for me!" Chang Chou retorted angrily.
"You think less of Martial Cultivators, but I, Du Mao, have never considered our True Qi inferior to their Holy Breath... Ah, enough talk. See for yourself the true power of the High Martial! Open your eyes wide, Chang Chou. Not just the gods of the Holy Sect, even your esteemed Immortals must avoid me, the High Martial True God Du Mao!" Du Mao no longer concealed his strength.
With a deep breath, Du Mao's qi surged explosively. A jade-colored True Qi instantly formed a vast, ethereal cyan earth floating above the ground!
The ethereal cyan earth was boundless, an ocean compared to a puddle. It seemed as if Du Mao himself was an entire continent suspended in the air, formed from crystallized True Qi into a colossal landmass.
"Earth Cang... Earth Cang True Qi!" The Red Immortal's eyes widened, unable to believe the divine skill of the Cang Acupoint that Du Mao displayed.
Chang Chou, even more so, was paralyzed in fear by the sight of the vast True Qi manifesting as a continent.
Reassessing the yellowish Qi on his body, he was both stunned and bewildered, like a firefly glimpsing the brilliance of the moon.
Du Mao... how did Du Mao cultivate into an Earth Cang High Martial God!
"Whose True Immortal are you beholden to? Tell me!! Tell me!!!" Chang Chou roared in desperate fury.
"I have an Immortal friend, but the cultivation of Cang Acupoint True Qi was my own." Du Mao replied.
"Impossible, it's impossible!!" Chang Chou knew better than anyone that the land of the True Martial Super Continent, with its scarce spiritual charm, could not nurture a High Martial True God.
It had to be an Immortal; Du Mao must have knelt before an Immortal but refused to admit the truth.
"So this is Cang Acupoint True Qi..." Ruan Muhuan nodded thoughtfully, then opened the Qi Acupoints within her body. Instantly, the Qi Ming surrounding her condensed.
After a moment, as if undergoing a baptism, a blue star appeared around Ruan Muhuan, gradually spreading into the sky.
"Xuan Cang True Qi!" The Red Immortal was again shocked, gazing at the much younger Valkyrie.
Xuan Cang Qi, a High Martial True God!
The Martial Gods following behind were completely devastated.
So, when Ruan Muhuan was beating them, she hadn't even used her full strength.
She had already stepped into the High Martial Realm.
What Immortal to open the Cang Acupoint...
Sheer nonsense. Each Martial God, if they focused on their own Martial Path, without confusion, doubt, or hesitation, and without being swayed by others, would eventually clear the clouds to see the higher realm of their True Martial Path. The High Martial Realm was not a legend; it had always existed. The Martial Gods lost their initial resolve, and the new Martial Gods with such resolve were massacred by Chang Chou!
Chang Chou, initially paralyzed, felt like someone struck by heavenly tribulation when he saw that Ruan Muhuan stepped into the High Martial Realm as well.
He staggered, witnessing his yellowish True Qi beginning to dissipate. It seemed that after his belief was shattered, his body and Qi started betraying him, unwilling to serve or accompany him any longer.
"Actually, Cang Acupoint True Qi means nothing, Chang Chou. Steady your heart, and I will assist you!" Seeing this, the Red Immortal quickly intervened.
Cang Acupoint True Qi means nothing, so why did Chang Chou never break through in his life?
Clearly, the Immortal told him that Cang Acupoint True Qi was supreme, the only power representing the High Martial True God. Now it's said to mean nothing?
Even if the brilliant Du Mao and Ruan Muhuan have reached the High Martial True God realm through the Immortal's aid, how am I the weakest Yellow Cang?
Weak or not, Chang Chou wasn't blind. Could he not see?
"Immortal, if you don't intervene for my justice now, I am truly at a dead end!" Although Chang Chou's mentality was shattered, he was still unwilling to submit.
If he couldn't defeat them, the Red Immortal's intervention would change the situation.
Chang Chou always knew his talent wasn't top-tier. Among the geniuses he killed, many were superior to him. As long as they were all dead, he remained the only True Martial Emperor of the True Martial Super Continent.
"Of course, Infinite City is the realm of the Immortals. Here exists prohibitions, let me reverse the situation!" The Red Immortal wouldn't let the situation turn against him.

Red Immortal Ge Chen summoned an Immortal Mirror, its surface like a bowl, capturing the vast stars within.
Ge Chen meticulously searched the mirror, seeming to lock onto Ruan Muhuan and Du Mao's Divine Stars, and then took out a strange Immortal Needle, piercing through the mirror at the two glowing stars.
Instantly, enormous black holes appeared above Ruan Muhuan and Du Mao as if the sky suddenly tore open.
Their divine starlight vanished in a flash. Simultaneously, the Cang Acupoint True Qi released from them was suppressed by a mysterious immortal power.
"I've restrained them below the High Martial. I trust they won't be unable to handle these two juniors with your own strength." Ge Chen demonstrated his Immortal Law, seemingly to teach these deities a lesson, reminding them that Immortals were supreme!
