My Optimized Immortal Life

When Chen Qing heard this, doubts suddenly arose in his heart, but there was joy on his face.

"I have long heard of your methods. It would be great if I could learn from you and exchange some advice."

The dead tree smiled.

At present, they only know that Chen Qing is quite accomplished in fire magic, and has a killer move that can dissipate the magic power and blood of cultivators. Apart from that, they don’t know much about Chen Qing’s other methods. If they can use this competition to find out Chen Qing’s methods and combat power, it will naturally be extremely beneficial for the next plan.

Seeing that Chen Qing agreed, Ku Mu took the initiative to speak. The two flew away from Luoying Peak and prepared to find an open place outside for a fight and exchange of skills.

On the way, Xu Lingxin sent a message to Chen Qing.

"My dear, this dead tree originally came here for the earth's energy, and suddenly proposed a competition. I'm afraid its intentions are not pure."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing sent her a message.

"It's okay. Ku Mu is a senior, and we were seen by many disciples and elders of the sect when we went to fight. There shouldn't be any danger."

"but……"

Chen Qing thought about it and decided to secretly send a message to Han Qiu Shui, asking him to stay with Luo Yingzong and not to follow him.

The three of them left Luoying Sect and headed east for nearly a hundred miles before arriving at the edge of the Great Wilderness Swamp. They saw vast expanses of crystal clear blue waters stretching out in front of them for tens of thousands of miles, and then a very thick gray fog separated the waters.

The three of them came above the water and slowly stopped.

The dead tree looked around and smiled.

"This place is quite nice and spacious, perfect for you to show off your skills."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing also looked around, and his spiritual sense spread out to investigate the surrounding situation. After discovering that no one was ambushing, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at the dead tree, asked Xu Lingxin to stand aside, and then bowed and said.

"In this battle, I would like to ask for your guidance, senior."

After he finished speaking, Ku Mu nodded, but he put his hands behind his back, with yellow-green magic power flowing around him. It was obvious that he was ready to let Chen Qing make the first move.

Seeing this, Chen Qing narrowed his eyes, raised his right hand, and the red magic power flowed on it, and then condensed into a fire phoenix the size of a fist.

Chen Qing just waved his right hand, and the fire phoenix rose into the air, then grew bigger against the wind. When it came in front of the dead tree, it was already ten feet in size.

The fluctuation of magic power on the fire phoenix made Ku Mu narrow his eyes slightly. He looked at it carefully and found that the fire phoenix used by Chen Qing was not ordinary fire magic power, but the relatively rare yang fire magic power.

The strength of Yang Fire is second only to thunder and lightning. No wonder Lie Yu can compete with Lei Yuan and not be at a disadvantage. However, this time we have to test him to see if he can force out the same move that he used to defeat Lei Yuan.

The dead tree pondered in his heart.

When the fire phoenix arrived, Chen Qing only saw the yellow-green magic power in front of the dead tree spreading out, forming several layers of halos in front of him. After the fire phoenix passed through the halos, it began to gradually dissipate and disappear. In the end, what came in front of the dead tree was only the palm-sized fire phoenix that had fluttered in Chen Qing's hand before.

The fire phoenix was caught in the hand of Ku Mu, who then looked at it carefully for a few seconds and smiled.

"Young friend, you really have a good method. This fire phoenix may seem to be condensed from ordinary magic power, but it contains the magic power of Yang Fire. It is extremely strong and its power is three times greater than that of ordinary magic."

Chen Qing smiled when he heard this.

"Senior, you have a good eye. I cultivate the Yang Fire. This fire is extremely powerful. Even in the Nascent Soul stage, it can show off its power. For me, it is the most suitable."

Withered Tree waved his hand to disperse the Fire Phoenix, then placed his right hand in front of his chest, pointing it like a sword, and then Chen Qing heard him speak slowly.

"My friend, I have a move that I learned after thirty years of contemplation beside a thousand-year-old spiritual tree. It's not very powerful, but its effect is extremely special. Watch it carefully, my friend."

As Kurumu said this, the Nascent Soul magic power in his body gradually surged, but it was suppressed to the initial level. However, Chen Qing's face became solemn.

In his eyes, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth did not gather towards the dead tree, but instead fled rapidly, as if there was something terrifying where the dead tree was.

Chen Qing had seen many people fighting, and had some understanding of various techniques, but most of those techniques required the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to be performed, and a small number required the use of dark energy, blood energy, and resentment. But no matter what, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would never escape.

From this, it can be seen that the means used by the dead tree must be extraordinary, and the power he mentioned is probably only for cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Chen Qing's cultivation was only at the initial stage. Although his combat power was comparable to that of a mid-stage Yuanying cultivator if he could fully exert his abilities, he still had no confidence against the methods used by Kurumu.

I saw a layer of pale yellow halo gradually appearing around the dead tree. It was not the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the result of his own magic power.

The halo gradually solidified and turned into a circle of magic array with visible magic patterns engraved on it, emitting an inexplicable aura.

This dead tree can actually activate Dao patterns?!

Chen Qing was startled, and then immediately realized that this was a golden opportunity. His spiritual consciousness suddenly spread, and he peeked at the faint Taoist patterns caused by the dead tree.

Kurumu naturally also felt the spiritual consciousness that Chen Qing burst out, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. The spiritual consciousness that Chen Qing exuded at this time was actually comparable to his.

Since Ku Mu was able to advance to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he was naturally not a mediocre person. When he was refining Qi and building his foundation, he also practiced some techniques that could enhance his spiritual awareness, and he also involved some fragments in the Dan formation. Now that he has cultivated to the Nascent Soul, his spiritual awareness is better than that of an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul.

Chen Qing is only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, but the strength of his spiritual consciousness is surprisingly comparable to his. This means that Chen Qing must have a technique that can cultivate his spiritual consciousness, which can even be helpful to Nascent Soul cultivators.

We have to see if we can get this method of cultivating spiritual consciousness from him. After all, the higher the strength of spiritual consciousness, the more helpful it will be for the cultivation of the Nascent Soul stage.

"My friend, please watch carefully."

Seeing that Chen Qing wanted to comprehend his move, Ku Mu slowed down the pace of brewing the technique, allowing Chen Qing more time to comprehend it.

However, this time was not very long.

The pale yellow magic circle surrounding the dead tree suddenly shone with spiritual light, and hundreds of spiritual lights shot out from it, heading towards where Chen Qing was.

At this time, Chen Qing had already comprehended some of the Taoist patterns caused by the dead tree, and also knew the path of cultivation that the dead tree was practicing.

The pattern carries a sense of desolation, mixed with a hint of aging. Combined with the dead tree's wood-related magic power, it can be known that the dead tree is practicing the way of decay and destruction.

This method is inspired by the image of withering trees and has some connection with reincarnation, so its power is extremely impressive.

Having seen through the path that the dead tree was practicing, Chen Qing did not dare to be careless about the spiritual light scattered all over the sky.

Although he was comprehending the way of creation, he had made no progress so far. He had only comprehended the "Yang" in the way of Yin and Yang.
