Chapter 279 You are all highly skilled!
"Why are you back?"
Upon seeing Shen Ming return to the Hall of Eternity, Situ Qing stepped forward to inquire.
Shen Ming took out the Eternal Seal, indicating that such a simple thing did not require special cultivation in the Myriad Manifestations Palace.
"You were allowed to cultivate the Eternal Seal in the Myriad Manifestations Palace? It must be that Luo Huo guy, right? Back then, he kept asking me questions, and after mastering the skills, he also learned to make things difficult for others."
Situ Qing understood and said, "It's alright, we won't practice this hand seal. I'll teach you the incantation."
Shen Ming was quite surprised; he hadn't thought of that.
"What? Do you think your senior sister isn't qualified to teach you? Your senior sister's white hair didn't grow for nothing. We've been idle all these years, so we've put our energy into this," Situ Qing said reproachfully.
The silver-haired old woman performed this action without any sense of incongruity, all thanks to her impeccable bone structure and temperament.
"Our academy has three supreme arts: Eternal Immortality, Eternal Darkness, and Eternal Exile. Moreover, by mastering these supernatural powers and refining the Eternal Seal, one can create the Eternal Divine Seal!"
In conclusion, Situ Qing said proudly, "This is a level that even the Myriad Manifestations Palace has never reached."
“Yeah, they’re nothing like you, junior sister, who have nothing to do all day,” Ma Quandao joked from the side.
Situ Qing smiled even more broadly and said, "Junior brother, look closely, this is called eternal immortality."
Blue flames appeared at her fingertips, lacking the ferocity and arrogance of ordinary flames, but instead exuding gentleness as they flickered.
"Junior sister, are you serious?"
Ma Quandao's eyelids twitched as he watched, and he retreated again and again.
The next moment, the blue flames rapidly expanded and grew larger, transforming into a ferocious blue fire dragon that roared and charged forward.
Ma Quandao gave a wry smile, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted incantations as a mysterious power surged from his body.
Whether intentionally or not, he actually used the Eternal Seal.
The seal transformed into a dazzling pillar of light, striking the eternal flame, causing flames to scatter and transform into countless tiny sparks.
However, these flames did not go out for a long time. Instead, they began to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and their color gradually became deeper, turning into a dark blue.
In the blink of an eye, the flames reunited, becoming even more powerful and dazzling.
Shen Ming suddenly understood why it was called "Eternal and Undying".
Senior sister was only disciplining her; in a real battle, she would have unleashed an inextinguishable flame that would engulf the enemy.
“Senior sister, I didn’t forge a fire-attribute Yuan Platform back then,” Shen Ming said.
“Supernatural powers are not such inconvenient things. They are eternal and indestructible. Different people will manifest different attacks. I am the inextinguishable fire. If it were you, it would be the inextinguishable wind and thunder,” Situ Qing said.
When Shen Ming was cultivating the Hengyu Cauldron, she could tell that he possessed the power of wind and thunder.
"Can it be mastered in three months? The Myriad Manifestations Palace probably only gave us the Eternal Seal because time was too tight."
Seeing Situ Qing withdraw the Unquenchable Flame, Ma Quandao couldn't help but speak again.
“Junior brother, watch closely, this is called Eternal Darkness.” Situ Qing said, and was about to start casting a spell again.
"No, no, no! This is a technique targeting the soul, it affects the brain!" Ma Quandao shouted hurriedly, wishing he could sprout wings and fly away.
Eternal Darkness targets the soul. Once cast, it can block the enemy's five senses and perceptions, plunging them into darkness and leaving them at the mercy of the enemy.
"This is good, this is good."
Shen Ming nodded repeatedly; this was exactly what he should be cultivating.
However, what Brother Ma said makes sense; three months is too short a time.
Shen Ming thought of the Eternal Stone, which grants eternal life with a single thought—wasn't that exactly what was used to cultivate supernatural powers?
“Such divine objects can be useful in the lower realm, but they are not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao in the upper realm,” Situ Qing said.
"Ok."
Shen Ming felt regretful, but his mind was now focused on supernatural powers. "Senior Sister, is Eternal Exile simply banishing the enemy to the endless void?"
“No, that’s not it. Eternal Exile is a technique of escape, banishing powerful enemies to their original location while one escapes,” Situ Qing said.
"...Okay." Shen Ming could only say that the name was well-chosen.
"Three months is a tight timeframe, but we should learn as much as we can. We have more than three months to go, so we don't need to prove ourselves to others. We should just keep to our own pace."
Situ Qing said, "The three-month period was set by the dean, which is beyond our control. We should focus our energy on what we can control."
"It's starting again. It's time for my junior sister to explain the philosophy of life."
After saying that, Ma Quandao couldn't hide his excitement and winked, "Junior sister, Eternal Exile is an escape technique, you can't possibly use it on me to demonstrate it, can you?"
“Junior brother, I just told you that these three supernatural abilities can refine an eternal divine seal. Watch carefully.”
Eternal Seal!
Situ Qing reached out, forming a hand seal. Golden magical power surged forth, and behind him, it seemed as if the sun and moon were rising, towering between heaven and earth.
Situ Qing's silver hair flew wildly, exuding divine might.
Shen Ming felt a chill run down his spine. The feeling this divine power gave him was no less than the Great Western King's earth-shaking hand!
Of course, this was just his feeling; his cultivation level was not high enough to make an accurate judgment.
"Slip away."
Ma Quandao felt a chill run down his spine and immediately used his escape technique to flee.
Situ Qing put away the divine seal and returned to his original gentle demeanor, saying, "See? Don't take the Myriad Manifestations Palace seriously. We, the Eternal Palace, have been idle and bored all these years, and our skills have long surpassed theirs."
Among the academy's sword techniques is the Four Tribulations Sword, a powerful technique. Your senior brother has mastered it over the years, perfecting it into the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, capable of severing even a Dharma Body!
A sword severing the Dharma body?!
The Dharma Body is a supernatural power of the Fourth Heaven, and the ruler of the Fourth Heaven is a king.
The eldest brother is trapped in the Eternal Palace, and his cultivation has stopped at the Third Heaven. There is an insurmountable gap between them.
He could tell that each of the seven senior brothers and sisters from the Eternal Palace possessed unique skills.
"Don't listen to your senior sister's nonsense. There's no such thing as a Heavenly Tribulation Sword. The Three Heavens can't sever a Dharma Body."
As they were talking, a tall figure approached; it was none other than the eldest disciple, Su Lianyun.
“Senior sister is fine, no need to add ‘old’ to it,” Situ Qing said angrily.
Su Lianyun remained noncommittal and did not argue.
"What did the dean say?" Situ Qing hadn't forgotten that he had gone there to inquire about the news.
“He was unwilling to say, saying it concerned the fate of the academy,” Su Lianyun said.
"And then you came back? That's not like you at all."
“Then I severed his Dharma body, and he was willing to talk.” Su Lianyun smiled slightly, standing with his hands behind his back.
“…You just love pretending to be dead.” Situ Qing rolled her eyes at him, but you could tell she was very happy.
“Junior Brother Mingsheng, can you tell us about your background?” Su Lianyun asked.
“Okay, my real name is Shen Ming, and I come from the Xuanhuang World…” Shen Ming thought for a moment and felt there was nothing to hide.
After listening, Su Lianyun frowned and said, "So you don't know anything about the Moon Emperor?"
"The Moon Emperor?" Shen Ming was completely confused.
