With Heaven-Defying Talent, I Actually Became Lu Xueqi

Lu Xueqi, having left the Tianxia Society, paid no attention to the chaos unfolding below.

Her purpose here was simply to help Xiong Ba eliminate the transmigrator Duan Lang. As for the rest of the turmoil, it was none of her concern.

At the same time, everyone in the chat group began snapping out of their shock.

Xiao Yan: “Miss Lu’s strength has improved significantly again. At this rate, we don’t know when we’ll be able to catch up to her.”

Lu Yu: “Indeed, why is Miss Lu so powerful? I feel utterly helpless in her presence.”

Xiong Ba: “It’s all thanks to Miss Lu this time. Had she not arrived in time, I fear I would have died at the hands of that transmigrator today.”

Xiao Yan: “Why is Miss Xueqi’s strength so astonishing? I remember that the Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao from the Qingyun Sect shouldn’t be this powerful.

Besides, the world where Qingyun Sect exists is much weaker than ours.

With the power she just demonstrated, she could go head-to-head with a Dou Wang or even a Dou Huang from our world—this defies logic.”

Lu Yu: “Exactly, based on the usual rules of the Qingyun World, Lu Xueqi shouldn’t be this strong.”

Xiao Yan: “Lu Yu, I have a theory—what if Lu Xueqi’s version of Qingyun World is a mythological variant?”

Lu Yu: “Why do you say that?”

Xiao Yan: “Under normal circumstances, Lu Xueqi would’ve just stepped into the Upper Purity Realm, at most. But if she can unleash such terrifying power at that level, how could it not be a mythological world?”

Lu Yu: “That’s actually possible. But I’ve bought and studied the Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao that Miss Xueqi uploaded. As good as the technique is, it doesn’t reach the level of a mythological-grade art.”

Xiao Yan: “Then why not ask Miss Lu directly?”

Lu Yu: “Good idea. Miss Xueqi, are you here?”

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly as she read through the chat group messages.

She hadn’t expected that today’s performance would raise suspicions among the group.

Indeed, according to the original worldview of the Qingyun World, her current strength was abnormally high.

Compared to the original Lu Xueqi, her power now was worlds apart.

As her cultivation deepened, she increasingly realized that the difference in strength between each sub-realm was growing exponentially.

Each breakthrough brought a severalfold increase in power, which left her astonished even by her own self-created Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture.

She even began to wonder whether she had created a mythological-level cultivation method.

But she quickly dismissed that thought. While the technique she had developed was formidable, it had yet to reach the mythological threshold.

After pondering briefly, Lu Xueqi channeled her spiritual energy into the chat group.

Lu Xueqi: “I’m here. As for your questions, I’m not sure myself. After cultivating for a while, my power has continued to increase. Now, with each small advancement, my strength multiplies severalfold. I’m currently at the peak of the Sixth Level of Upper Purity Realm and about to reach the Seventh.”

Lu Yu: “Miss Xueqi, are you cultivating the Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao you uploaded?”

Lu Xueqi: “No. While the Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao is indeed a legacy technique of my Qingyun Sect, the one I’m cultivating now was found in a nameless cave. It’s called the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu and the others in the group were visibly shocked. Xiao Yan asked eagerly.

Xiao Yan: “Miss Xueqi, just how powerful is this Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture? Could you upload it for us to see?”

Lu Xueqi: “Sure. This Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture is incredibly powerful, especially in the later stages, where its might becomes extraordinary. Do you all want to cultivate it?”

Lu Yu: “We’re definitely interested. If the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture is truly that powerful, we’d love to learn it.”

Lu Xueqi: “Alright, I’ll upload it now. Take a look yourselves.”

Xiao Yan: “Thank you, Miss Lu!”

Without saying more, Lu Xueqi organized the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture in her mind and issued a command to the chat group.

“Chat group, upload Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture!”

Following the command—

Upload complete. The Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture appeared at the top of the chat group mall.

At the same time, a clear notification rang in Lu Xueqi’s mind.

“Ding! Congratulations on uploading the Immortal-grade technique ‘Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture’. You have received 100,000 points!”

Lu Xueqi was momentarily stunned. She hadn’t expected this technique to be worth 100,000 points. But recalling how she needed 10,000 points for each breakthrough, she realized that 100,000 might not be that much after all.

She thought to herself that although the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture might not reach mythological level as Lu Yu speculated, it could very well be classified among the mid- or high-tier cultivation techniques of more advanced worlds.

With her heaven-defying comprehension, she believed that by studying more techniques from different worlds, she would eventually create something even more powerful.

Perhaps even a true mythological-grade technique.

The group members all looked at the purchase page for the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture. Seeing the long string of zeroes, everyone couldn’t help but wail in despair.

Xiao Yan: “Confirmed—it’s beyond my purchasing power.”

Lu Yu: “+1.”

Huang Rong: “+1.”

Xiaolongnü: “+1.”

Zhang Sanfeng: “Even this old Taoist can’t afford it, and I wouldn’t dare dream of it either.”

Xiong Ba: “I’ve been saving up painstakingly for ages and only managed a bit over 5,000 points. Miss Lu uploads one cultivation method and earns 100,000—it’s truly a blow to this old man!”

Seeing the discussion, Lu Xueqi felt the chat group’s reward mechanism was rather unfair.

In the chat group, uploading a technique only rewarded a one-time point bonus.

For instance, she received 100,000 points for uploading the Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture, and others had to pay the same amount to purchase it, but she wouldn’t earn any additional points from future sales.

It was effectively a one-time buyout by the chat group.

Learning that the technique cost 100,000 points to cultivate, Lu Yu couldn’t help but feel troubled.

Although he enjoyed a 50% discount as the chat group admin, 50,000 points was still a hefty amount. With his current strength, he had no idea how long it would take to save that much.

He couldn’t help but recall the installment payment feature often used in his previous life.

With this in mind, Lu Yu grew hopeful and asked.

“Chat group, is it possible to purchase cultivation techniques in parts?”

As soon as he spoke, the chat group responded.

It turned out that techniques could indeed be purchased in layers—especially ones like Lu Xueqi’s, which had clearly defined stages.

Delighted, Lu Yu used all his points to buy the first two layers of the technique, corresponding to the Jade Purity Realm and Upper Purity Realm.

Once obtained, the chat group automatically adapted the technique to suit his world’s cultivation system.

Excited, Lu Yu hurried to share the news in the group.

Lu Yu: “Everyone, good news! Miss Lu’s Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture can be bought in layers. If you’re short on points, give that a try!”

Xiao Yan: “Thanks for the heads-up, Lu Yu. I’m going to check it out now.”

Xiong Ba: “Thanks, Lu Yu.”

Xiaolongnü: “Thanks, Lu Yu.”

Huang Rong: “+1.”

Lu Xueqi didn’t pay much attention to the messages. Her mind was focused entirely on how to enhance her strength.

Now that she had 100,000 points, she could raise her cultivation to the Grand Purity Realm, but she wasn’t in a rush.

She knew full well that breakthroughs were best made in quiet environments. Currently, she was still flying midair—if she were disturbed during a breakthrough, the consequences could be dire.

Even though the chat group method was relatively safe, a breakthrough was a serious matter and not something to be taken lightly.

Meanwhile, in the Ice Palace of Tianshan in the World of Wind and Cloud, Di Shitian dragged his heavily injured body back to the underground palace in a hurry.

Thinking back to his encounter with Lu Xueqi today, a chill ran down his spine.

It was just a probing exchange, yet he’d been gravely wounded. Had he not escaped quickly, he might’ve died on the spot.

Di Shitian’s expression was grim. Feeling the Phoenix Blood within him draining once again, his heart grew heavier.

Centuries ago, he had already lost some Phoenix Blood during a battle with Wu Wudi. Now, after clashing with Lu Xueqi, he had lost even more.

As the Phoenix Blood drained, he could clearly feel his vitality rapidly fading—his face aged more than ten years in mere moments.

Originally appearing to be around fifty, he now looked like a frail old man in his sixties or seventies, white hair draping over his shoulders, face full of wrinkles, and incomparably weak.

Di Shitian was horrified. At this rate, he would either fall at the hands of others due to physical weakness or die of life exhaustion.

For Xu Fu, who had lived over two thousand years, this was utterly unacceptable.

At that thought, his desire for the Divine Dragon intensified. He silently made a firm decision in his heart: no matter the cost, he would slay the Divine Dragon, seize its Dragon Essence, and become an immortal being.

Soon, following the mental map, Lu Xueqi flew to the outside of Lingyun Cavern.

The first sight that greeted her was an enormous Buddha statue—towering and majestic, easily over a hundred meters tall.

Beneath the giant Buddha was a deep, quiet cave entrance.

Traces of ritual offerings left by nearby villagers could still be seen around the mouth of the cave.

A faint sense of danger seeped out from within, making the cave resemble a gaping, terrifying maw ready to devour anyone in its path.

Lu Xueqi’s gaze landed on the entrance, and she immediately recognized it as the entrance to Lingyun Cavern.

Her figure flickered and instantly darted over. Despite the ominous aura radiating from the cave, she didn’t hesitate in the slightest—she lifted her foot and stepped inside.

To others, the Fire Qilin within the cavern was a deadly threat.

But to Lu Xueqi, it was just a small creature she could handle at will.

As for the intricate and winding paths inside the cavern, she had no fear.

With her powerful spiritual sense, nothing could escape her perception.

Very soon, Lu Xueqi detected a wave of intense heat deep within the cavern.

Following the trail, she arrived at the end of a corridor. There, within a vast space, a creature radiating blazing light lay sound asleep, completely unaware of her arrival.

A slight smile curled on Lu Xueqi’s lips. Like a wraith, she appeared silently before the Fire Qilin. She had decided—today she would subdue this beast.

Even upon reaching it, the Fire Qilin didn’t stir.

“Little one, time to wake up.”

Lu Xueqi couldn’t resist a mischievous impulse. She suddenly shouted loudly right into its ear.

The Fire Qilin jolted awake and leapt up, its groggy head quickly scanning the surroundings with vigilance.

The moment it saw Lu Xueqi, its pupils dilated. Fury and savagery surged in its eyes as it opened its mouth and blasted a torrent of searing flames.

Lu Xueqi remained unfazed. With a wave of her right hand, a massive Tai Chi Diagram phantom appeared instantly before her, calmly blocking all the flames.

“Little one, you’re being naughty. If you keep this up, I’ll have to get serious.”

However, the Fire Qilin had been corrupted by demonic energy and was now irrational—unable to understand her words.

Rather than calming down, it seemed even more enraged and intensified its attacks.

Lu Xueqi said no more. Her figure flashed and pierced through the flames, appearing directly above the Fire Qilin’s head.

She brought her palm down with force—an overwhelming power erupted.

“Pa!”

A thunderous crash rang out. The Fire Qilin’s eyes bulged wide, as though its eyeballs were about to be knocked loose by the force.

Its massive body was slammed into the ground, leaving a deep crater where it landed.

This single strike left the Fire Qilin gravely wounded, barely clinging to life.

Its body throbbed with unbearable pain—it felt as though it had just glimpsed its great-grandmother.

As the pain eased slightly, fear filled its eyes.

Lu Xueqi stepped forward, grabbed the Fire Qilin, and flew off into the distance.

Moments later, the two entered a vast cavern.

Inside, a massive dragon-shaped statue stood imposingly. Seated before the sculpture was a humanoid skeleton, beside which lay a weathered bone radiating an ancient aura.

Lu Xueqi’s eyes lit up. She instantly darted forward, grabbed the bone, and began to sense it closely.

“This should be the Dragon Vein.”

She muttered, then channeled her spiritual power into it.

The previously ordinary-looking bone suddenly radiated dazzling light under the influx of spiritual energy. A calming, focusing power spread outward, laced with a unique force of creation.

Lu Xueqi narrowed her eyes slightly. She hadn’t expected this Dragon Vein to contain the Power of Creation.

Then, as if led by this force, she felt herself drawn into ancient times—witnessing a battlefield where the Emperor and Chiyou clashed, even glimpsing the formation of this world itself.

From the Power of Creation, Lu Xueqi inexplicably comprehended numerous natural laws.

With her Heaven-Defying Comprehension, she managed to grasp the rudiments of the Dao of Creation.

Although the Dragon Vein’s power was limited, it was enough to help her push open the door to this profound Dao.

During her enlightenment, as she stepped into the Dao of Creation, her Tai Chi Profound Immortal Scripture subtly transformed—becoming more fluid and brimming with vitality.

And remarkably, Lu Xueqi’s cultivation also advanced naturally during this process—leaping from the Sixth Level of Upper Purity Realm all the way to the peak of the Ninth.

After finishing her insights and sensing the changes in herself, a faint smile appeared on Lu Xueqi’s face.

This breakthrough was not just about power—it was about understanding the Dao.

Now that she had comprehended a Law, her future cultivation would progress smoothly, with no more bottlenecks.

Moreover, she noticed that her aptitude had also significantly improved through the process of comprehending the Law of Creation.

After examining her transformation, Lu Xueqi turned to the barely conscious Fire Qilin nearby.

A trace of emotion flickered in her eyes. Had she not come here to tame this beast, she might never have received such a fortuitous opportunity.

Without hesitation, she tossed the Dragon Vein toward the Fire Qilin.

Activating her newly grasped Dao of Creation, she guided the vein’s energy into the Qilin.

Radiant light flowed continuously into the Fire Qilin’s body—its injuries rapidly healed, the demonic aura was purified, and its spiritual consciousness reformed.

Once the demonic energy had completely dissipated, the Fire Qilin returned to normal.

The violent aura was gone; its eyes were now bright and intelligent. It even nuzzled Lu Xueqi affectionately with its head.

Lu Xueqi smiled.

“Little one, follow me from now on.”

The Fire Qilin nodded eagerly, its gaze filled with reverence—as if she were its own mother.

Finally, Lu Xueqi returned the Dragon Vein to the skeleton’s side.

She had discovered during her enlightenment that this Dragon Vein carried the immense fate energy of this world’s Nine Provinces. Forcefully taking it would bring about heavy karmic consequences.

For someone who had stepped into the Dao of Creation, it wasn’t worth the risk.

However, before leaving, Lu Xueqi had one more plan in mind.

She intended to visit the stone chamber that held Wu Wudi’s legacy—True Xuanwu Art.

In this world, Wu Wudi’s True Xuanwu Art was among the pinnacle martial arts. Anyone who mastered it through diligent cultivation would surely rise to power.

While the technique might now serve only as reference for Lu Xueqi, she still wanted to take a look.

With a graceful leap, she landed steadily on the back of the Fire Qilin and transmitted her destination through spiritual sense.

Understanding her intent, the Fire Qilin dashed forward, carrying Lu Xueqi toward the stone wall engraved with the True Xuanwu Art.

As the long-time “master” of Lingyun Cavern, even in its previously clouded state, the Fire Qilin remained intimately familiar with the terrain and naturally knew where that stone wall was located.
