With Heaven-Defying Talent, I Actually Became Lu Xueqi

Water Qilin and Fire Qilin had a brief exchange, and it seemed as if the former wished to bring the latter to Tongtian Peak.

The Water Qilin kept roaring at the Fire Qilin, but the Fire Qilin resolutely shook its head and frequently glanced at Lu Xueqi, clearly unwilling to part from her.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi silently pondered.

The Fire Qilin was still young, its strength relatively weak, and it lacked any inherited cultivation technique.

If it stayed on Xiaozhu Peak, its growth might be limited; but if it followed the Water Qilin, it might gain numerous

The Water Qilin seemed to understand the deep bond between the Fire Qilin and Lu Xueqi. To take it to Tongtian Peak, Lu Xueqi’s consent was necessary.

Flow. Though it had never met Lu Xueqi, the Water Qilin was clearly familiar with Master Daoxuan and knew it could communicate with him through secret arts.

So, the Water Qilin turned its head to look at Master Daoxuan.

The Water Qilin let out a roar toward Master Daoxuan, who gave a slight nod and immediately used a secret art to communicate with the Water Qilin.

After the exchange, Master Daoxuan looked at Lu Xueqi and said,

“Niece Xueqi, the Spirit Lord just spoke to me—it wishes to take the Fire Qilin to Tongtian Peak to teach it for a time. What do you think?”

Lu Xueqi raised her eyebrows slightly and replied,

“Sect Leader if the Water Qilin wants to take the Fire Qilin, this matter must depend on the Fire Qilin’s own will.”

The Fire Qilin, like a child, had a simple mind. Though it was quite fond of the Water Qilin, it was even more reluctant to leave Lu

Master Daoxuan nodded and turned his gaze to the Fire Qilin.

However, the Fire Qilin remained naive and unwilling to communicate with Master Daoxuan.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi used her divine sense to communicate with the Fire Qilin.

Under Lu Xueqi’s constant soothing and persuasion, the Fire Qilin’s reluctant emotions gradually subsided.

Lu Xueqi turned to Master Daoxuan and said,

“Sect Leader, I’ve spoken with the Fire Qilin. It is willing to go to Tongtian Peak with the Spirit Lord for a while. However, after receiving the Water Qilin senior’s true teachings, it still wishes to return to Xiaozhu Peak.”

With permission granted, Lu Xueqi gently patted the Fire Qilin, which was reluctant to leave her side, signaling it to follow the Water Qilin.

Master Daoxuan did not object and replied,

“Very well.”

The Fire Qilin nodded reluctantly and ultimately followed the Water Qilin away.

Master Daoxuan did not particularly care where the Fire Qilin went. After all, Xiaozhu Peak and Tongtian Peak were both part of the Qingyun Sect—as long as the Fire Qilin remained within the sect, it served the sect’s interests.

After the Fire Qilin left, Master Daoxuan said to Master Shuiyue,

“Shuiyue, your disciple truly has remarkable fortune. I sense her aura is strong—her strength must have improved again, no?”

Master Shuiyue turned to examine Lu Xueqi, only to find that she could no longer see through her disciple’s cultivation level, and was inwardly shocked.

Previously, when Lu Xueqi was at the peak of the Ninth Level of Jade Purity Realm, she could still faintly sense it. But now, she could see nothing at all.

Master Shuiyue speculated that Lu Xueqi had likely broken through to the Upper Purity Realm.

Unable to conceal her joy, Master Shuiyue responded politely,

“Senior Brother Daoxuan, Xueqi has merely made a bit of progress—not worthy of praise.”

Master Daoxuan shook his head and said,

“Junior Sister Shuiyue, there’s no need for modesty. With Niece Xueqi’s current cultivation, she may very well be unmatched among the younger generation of Qingyun Sect.”

Master Daoxuan likewise could not see through Lu Xueqi’s cultivation and inwardly marveled at her extraordinary talent. She had likely already stepped into the Upper Purity Realm.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Master Daoxuan took his leave.

After all, the Seven Peaks Tournament of Qingyun Sect was approaching. As Sect Leader, he still needed to make preparations.

After Master Daoxuan departed, Master Shuiyue looked at Lu Xueqi with curiosity and asked,

“Xueqi, have you already broken through to the Upper Purity Realm?”

Upon hearing her master’s inquiry, Lu Xueqi did not hide anything and directly nodded in response.

“Master, a few days ago, I had a sudden insight and indeed broke through to the Upper Purity Realm.”

Upon hearing Lu Xueqi’s confirmation, Master Shuiyue’s face instantly lit up with joy, and she laughed heartily.

“Good, good, good! Xueqi, you truly are a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Qingyun Sect! To break through to the Upper Purity Realm so swiftly—it truly brings me immense joy!”

In her original estimation, even with Lu Xueqi’s exceptional talent, she should have been stuck at the peak of the Ninth Level of Jade Purity Realm for quite some time.

Breaking through from the Jade Purity Realm to the Upper Purity Realm could be described as a monumental hurdle.

The transition from Jade Purity to Upper Purity was a leap between major realms. Many talented elders within the Qingyun Sect, after reaching the peak of the Ninth Level of the Jade Purity Realm, spent their entire lives without ever advancing further—proof of how difficult this breakthrough truly was.

Master Shuiyue calmed her excitement and instructed,

“Xueqi, you should rest well these next few days. In three days, it will be the day of the Seven Peaks Tournament. You and your fellow disciples from Xiaozhu Peak will head to Tongtian Peak together to compete.”

Lu Xueqi nodded respectfully.

“Yes, Master……”

With that said, Master Shuiyue did not linger any longer. Her figure flickered and she returned to her quarters in the front mountain.

Lu Xueqi, however, did not rush back to her room. She stood in place, lost in thought.

After a moment, she lightly waved her right hand, and several droplets of blood floated midair before her.

She stared intently at the blood droplets, her eyes full of contemplation.

These blood droplets were taken from Xu Fu, whom she had wounded. They contained a strange energy, flowing with auras of undying, nirvana, reincarnation, and rebirth—extremely profound.

Lu Xueqi speculated that this might be a manifestation of the Divine Blood of the Phoenix within Xu Fu’s body.

Unfortunately, the essence within the blood was too faint. Even with her exceptional comprehension, she could only grasp a small hint of it.

As the flames appeared, Lu Xueqi waved her hand again, and the fire instantly expanded, sweeping toward the droplets of blood.

She stared intently at the blood, her thoughts racing, falling into even deeper reflection.

Then, with another wave of her right hand, a surge of searing flames poured out from her palm.

This flame was the Dao-Origin True Fire she summoned using the Tai Chi Profound Purity Dao, its temperature is extraordinarily high.

Under the terrifying heat, the impurities within the blood were swiftly incinerated.

After a while, the once plump blood droplets were reduced to a few faint golden threads of blood.

Seeing these threads, Lu Xueqi’s eyes lit up.

As her thoughts shifted, several threads of blood quickly merged together.

At the same time, the Dao of Creation she had previously comprehended made new progress as she studied the Blood of the Phoenix.

When all the threads of blood fused into one, a tiny droplet of blood appeared above the void.

This droplet of blood contained an intense power of annihilation and the will of vitality.

Seeing this, Lu Xueqi immediately began studying it carefully.

During the process, the true essence within the blood was continuously absorbed by her.

Originally, she had only a shallow understanding of the Dao of Creation, but now, infused with the powers of undying, nirvana, reincarnation, and rebirth, the Dao of Creation became even more refined.

As she comprehended further, Lu Xueqi felt a certain transformation occurring within her body.

Her own blood began to undergo some subtle changes. The shift was incredibly minute—if not for her keen spirit, she would not have noticed it at all.

From this subtly transformed blood, Lu Xueqi gleaned a trace of true nirvana intent. However, this intent was still extremely faint.
