Chapter 1489: Long Life Sacred Method

Long Kun suddenly proposed his idea. After some observation, Xu Yang was still puzzled, so he led his team to continue forward.

Unbeknownst to them, they silently entered a formation secretly woven by the women, instantly losing their way. This was an illusionary formation; anyone who entered it unprepared would become disoriented to some extent.

"It's been quite an effort for you all. You unknown individuals have been trailing us for three days and three nights. Since you were unwilling to reveal yourselves, we set up this formation. Please, come out and have a chat."

The woman's voice was clear and soothing, giving a refreshing sensation. Upon closer inspection, she appeared slowly on the other side of the illusionary formation, dressed in a long pink gown. Behind her were a dozen young women, each with distinct appearances and attire. These were the most exceptional young disciples of the Misty Rain Imperial Clan.

The woman in the pink dress, who was leading them, was named Xiao Xiang. She was also the chief disciple of the Misty Rain Imperial Clan's Third Elder of this generation.

Her beauty was undeniable. What surprised Xu Yang and his companions even more was the girl's inherent ethereal and pure demeanor, which was clearly far more outstanding than that of the young individuals from the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan they had previously met.

"Haha, it seems you discovered our tracks quite early. Truly worthy of being the youngest generation of cultivators among the Six Great Imperial Clans. Very impressive."

Xu Yang responded with unreserved praise.

"Since there's nothing left for us to conceal, please introduce yourselves and tell us your purpose."

Before Xu Yang could speak, Long Kun took a few steps forward. "Fairy maiden, we bear no ill will. We were merely concerned you might inadvertently enter this dangerous northeastern region, a gathering place for ferocious beasts, and face peril. That's why we followed you discreetly. If we truly harbored hostile intentions, your roughly thousand individuals wouldn't even be enough for our boss to pick his teeth with."

Xu Yang quickly shot Long Kun a glare. "Your words have certainly painted me as a man-eating demon who leaves no trace."

Watching Xu Yang and his companions jest with each other, completely unburdened by pressure, Xiao Xiang let out a cold laugh.

"It seems your demeanor truly shows no regard for our Misty Rain Imperial Clan. In that case, allow us to demonstrate our power."

The moment Xiao Xiang finished speaking, the dozen fairy maidens behind her simultaneously launched their attacks. Their weapons were all distinct, but Xiao Xiang herself was a master swordsman. Under the guidance of her aura, the entire environment instantly manifested an endless array of female silhouettes.

Each female silhouette represented a concentrated burst of pure life energy. However, as the saying goes, water can float a boat, but it can also sink it. While their greatest strength lay in the Dao of Life for healing and saving, life force, once concentrated to a certain degree, could transform into the world's most formidable sharp weapon.

Because potent life force could bypass any defensive measures and directly penetrate a target's body, and no living entity could resist the integration of external life force. Thus, when this life force transformed into a blade, it would become the most terrifying spear in the world, effortlessly shattering all sword and shield barriers.

As expected, these attacks, transformed from life force, penetrated Xu Yang and his companions' bodies without any resistance. However, the physical bodies of Xu Yang's team were incredibly robust; even directly withstanding these life-force-infused attacks caused them no harm whatsoever.

"Senior Sister Xiao Xiang, these individuals appear to be even more formidable than we anticipated. Should we signal the accompanying elders to come immediately for support?"

Senior Sister Xiao Xiang gently shook her head. "Let's first test their individual strengths for a moment. After all, these people haven't yet shown any killing intent towards us. Our primary objective is to ascertain their identities."

It must be said that Senior Sister Xiao Xiang was indeed a composed individual, well-suited to lead the younger generation. Furthermore, not a single trace of killing intent could be detected from her; every gesture she made was a pure manifestation of life force fluctuations.

As Xu Yang and his companions completely disregarded the opponent's attacks, Senior Sister Xiao Xiang stepped into the air. Countless pink sword lights rapidly condensed behind her, and this time, the attack bore some resemblance to one meant for killing.

"Hahaha, Miss Xiao Xiang, you're finally providing some challenge! Don't bother with those ineffective methods; use your most powerful attack against me! I, for one, enjoy sparring with beautiful maidens like you!"

Feeling offended by Long Kun's frivolous remarks, Xiao Xiang's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she swiftly formed hand seals. More and more sword energy and light plummeted from the void, carrying a special life aura that quickly locked onto Long Kun's true body.

In response, Long Kun unhesitatingly unleashed his Starlight Power. Deep blue light continuously clashed with Fairy Xiao Xiang's sword aura in the void, and the two exchanged blows, fighting back and forth.

Of course, Long Kun did not unleash his true, lethal strength. He merely continuously nullified the various attacks launched by Fairy Xiao Xiang because, in his opinion, Fairy Xiao Xiang's combat power was not even as strong as that of some of the younger generation from the Xuanyuan Imperial Clan he had previously encountered.

This lineage truly specialized in healing and saving lives. Their aggressive intent was too weak, which naturally diminished the offensive effects of their own cultivation techniques.

Xu Yang watched, shaking his head helplessly. "Ladies, please stop. Even if you fought here for ten or eight years with these methods, you wouldn't be able to inflict any harm on my brother, Long Kun. Your lineage is simply not suited for combat."

Xiao Xiang seemed to grow a bit angrier upon hearing Xu Yang's words. "Are you underestimating the power of our Misty Rain Imperial Dynasty? If so, then allow us to demonstrate the true essence of the Longevity Sacred Law!"

As "Longevity Sacred Law" escaped her lips, the dozen young women behind her immediately seemed to receive a special sense and command. They flew to different positions in the void, each taking their stance to form a cohesive, resilient unit. Fairy Xiao Xiang herself was encircled by these dozen sisters, evidently with her will dominating the entire formation's power.

The so-called Longevity Sacred Law was, in fact, the manifestation of the Misty Rain Imperial Clan's most potent Human Spirit Sacred Dao power, serving as their ultimate trump card.

The Longevity Sacred Law was a complete cultivation system, the collective term for the source of power exclusive to their lineage. It encompassed not only powerful auxiliary cultivation methods and techniques for restoring vitality but also the formidable offensive techniques jointly manifested by the dozen young women present.

A continuous flow of life force rapidly gathered from these dozen young women, converging onto the essence of the sword light in Fairy Xiao Xiang's hand, imbuing it with an exceptionally vibrant life aura.

Xu Yang observed this cultivation technique's power and couldn't help but show an appreciative expression. It integrated extreme life energy with extreme sword intent for killing, creating two seemingly opposite yet complementary forces.

"This concept shares similarities with my Dao of Taiji. Quite interesting. Long Kun, you'd best not underestimate them, or this move might prove quite challenging for you."
