Kill Me More Times, I'll Become Invincible-Chapter 349:

"Are you asking me to give up martial arts and pursue the path of immortality?"

Qiao Mu’s face looked a bit strange.

He wasn’t angry, just feeling puzzled.

He is now one of the leading figures in martial arts in the Jiu Province.

Peach Blossom Villa is like a newly planted sapling that is growing rapidly and will eventually become a towering tree.

Calling Qiao Mu a martial arts master is not an exaggeration.

Qiao Mu’s martial skills are so advanced that he could challenge the Immortal Gate and defeat their Nascent Soul Elder.

This kind of person can be said to be at the peak of martial artists on Earth.

In the martial arts world, whether they are young newcomers or veteran experts, everyone has to show respect when they meet him.

However, even for Qiao Mu, who is considered the top martial artist among ordinary people, Yunxiao Sect Leader did not treat him with special respect.

Yunxiao Sect Leader is not blind.

He recognized Qiao Mu’s pure human martial artist identity, and personally tested the power of Qiao Mu’s sword.

His attitude showed a decrease in killing intent, as he tried to recruit Qiao Mu and guide him towards the path of cultivating immortal skills.

His attitude was not towards an equal opponent but rather like a senior expert encountering a junior, looking down from a higher position.

"Indeed," Yunxiao Sect Leader said calmly:

"Your martial arts are truly exceptional, I am aware of that."

"Only the immortal path leads to eternal life."

"If one cannot live long, they are barely stronger than a mayfly born at dawn and dead at dusk."

"No matter how high one’s martial arts skills are, in the end, it’s all in vain."

"This is a wrong path, the further you go, the deeper the mistake, do not mislead yourself."

"However, if you switch to cultivating the immortal path, even with a low-grade talent like a Pseudo Spiritual Root, you will not be ordinary."

Whether cultivating the immortal path or martial arts, to go far, you need more than just talent.

To reach such a level of martial arts in this era, one must have exceptional qualities.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Mu finally understood.

From the perspective of the Yunxiao Sect Leader, the immortal path is the right way, martial arts are just a strategy for those without spiritual roots.

Like comparing a government worker to a computer programmer:

The former is seen as very desirable by older people, a government worker earning five thousand a month is considered better than a programmer earning fifteen thousand a month.

When you discuss income with him, he talks about the hidden benefits of being a government worker, mentioning how programmers get laid off at 35 but government workers have stable jobs until old age…

The inequality of five thousand being greater than fifteen thousand is not just a math problem.

Even if the numbers on the scales are very different, even if they double, in many people’s eyes, programmers are still not as respectable as government workers.

At that moment, Yunxiao Sect Leader seemed to be strongly advocating for young programmers to take the government exam, just like an elder.

Even though Qiao Mu is already a top-notch martial arts grandmaster, in Yunxiao Sect Leader’s eyes, he is simply a talented ordinary person from the younger generation.

The skill level and combat ability of ordinary martial artists, in his eyes, are just like programmers’ salaries, ultimately meaningless.

All kinds of things are inferior, only cultivating immortality is superior.

Qiao Mu squinted his eyes, his expression showing some interest, as if he had been taken aback by the grand promises made by the Yunxiao Sect Leader, and he asked:

"I’ve heard that cultivating immortality involves abandoning worldly desires and attachments. Is that true?"

"Indeed," nodded the Yunxiao Sect Leader.

"Immortals live in the mountains, and cultivating immortality is like climbing a mountain."

"Maintaining a mortal heart is challenging to endure the long passage of time and achieve eternal life."

"Therefore, the closer one gets to the mountaintop, the further away from humans they become, and the closer to immortality."

"The concept of abandoning worldly desires means rejecting human desires and keeping only a heart dedicated to the Dao."

Qiao Mu’s gaze turned slightly cold.

This Yunxiao Sect Leader saw him as a regular mortal with less than a hundred years to live.

Qiao Mu was actually 1635 years old.

Cultivators lived for a long time by letting go of emotions and desires and removing earthly thoughts.

Without the guidance of cultivators, Qiao Mu spent over a thousand years in a Long Life Dream, which was actually contrary to "letting go of emotions and desires, and abandoning attachments."

What supported him in the dream was exactly the attachments and desires that cultivators had abandoned.

Every time his age increased, his attachments and desires deepened gradually.

"If one abandons emotions and desires and human nature, then what’s the point of cultivating immortality?" Qiao Mu murmured.

This remark made Yunxiao Sect Leader’s expression turn cold.

"I talk about cultivating immortality with you, and you talk about human nature with me?"

"So be it." Yunxiao Sect Leader’s interest seemed to diminish as well.

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice after all."

"You have a narrow perspective, only seeing present martial arts and fighting abilities, truly refusing to see the truth."

"Summer insects cannot speak of ice, returning the original phrase word for word." Qiao Mu said calmly.

"In the eyes of a prostitute, all women in this world can be sold."

"If unwilling, that means the price has not been negotiated, pretending to be noble while bargaining, having a short-sighted perspective and being unaware."

Yunxiao Sect Leader’s eye twitched slightly.

Did he really compare Qiao family’s martial arts to prostitute when he talked about cultivation so much?

Qiao Mu simply said, "In your eyes, the immortal cultivation path is the path of the world, while emotions and desires are merely obstacles to cultivation."

"But in my opinion, if one forsakes humanity, gives up mortal desires, what use is immortality?"

Holding the King Qin Sword, Qiao Mu suddenly leaped into the air.

Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps!

Qiao Mu stepped into the air one by one, soaring upwards with increasing speed, like a sharp sword aiming for the sky.

Approaching Yunxiao Sect Leader swiftly in the air, he once again swung his sword, sending a burst of sword energy soaring.

Yunxiao Sect Leader’s expression grew even colder.

"Is cultivating immortality losing one’s humanity?"

He chuckled instead of getting angry, his laughter echoing far in the sky.

In that moment, the sky-splitting sword energy unleashed by Qiao Mu tore through the clouds, creating a huge hole in the sky.

Yunxiao Sect Leader simply raised his hand gently.

In an instant, the entire sky was filled with swirling clouds like waves in the sea. The sharp sword light pierced through them like a knife through butter, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

The leader of the Yunxiao Sect was still standing on thin air, looking down coldly at Qiao Mu and the city below.

"Do you think you are humane?"

The Yunxiao Sect Leader’s gaze fell on the clouds in front of him, where over a hundred surviving soldiers were.

When Qiao Mu first appeared, he tried to kill all of the Feather King’s old followers, but Qiao Mu stopped him with a sword strike from a distance, preventing complete success.

And now…

The Yunxiao Sect Leader pointed casually.

An invisible wind blade instantly cut through the sky like a giant invisible scythe.

The heads of over a hundred rebel soldiers on the clouds separated from their bodies, blood gushing out as they fell limp.

"You are very humane," murmured Yunxiao Sect Leader softly.

"If you turn back from your misguided path and promptly seek refuge at Immortal Gate, you may spare the lives of these mortals."

"You could have saved them, but you didn’t."

"In my opinion…"

"However, human nature is a great weakness of yours."

Yunxiao Sect Leader pointed his finger again.

Countless white clouds rolled up in the sky following his gesture, swarming towards Qiao Mu who was suspended in mid-air.

Amidst the howling wind.

The sky full of white clouds transformed into the shape of a gigantic lion’s head, biting down on Qiao Mu in mid-air.

Roar!

The Cloud Lion is a rare spiritual beast raised by the leader of the Yunxiao Sect. This kind of spiritual beast is born with the ability to control the wind and rain, and possesses immense strength.

At that moment, the Cloud Lion had Qiao Mu in its mouth. Qiao Mu felt surrounded by thick clouds from all sides, as if invisible hands were trying to crush him from the middle, making it impossible for him to break free.

The leader of the Yunxiao Sect watched this scene coldly.

He slapped his Guarding Beast Bag at his waist.

With a flash of light, dozens of spiritual beasts sprang out, mostly cat and dog-like monsters.

Among them, the leader was a large yellow cat in a Daoist robe, known as the Cat Immortal.

He pointed towards Linhe City at his feet and uttered three words:

"Destroy the city."

Even Cat Power Immortal and Qiao Mu looked surprised, thinking they misheard.

"Sect leader, Linhe City is the biggest city in Southwest Province, and it has many believers…"

"Do I need your reminder? Just do as I say."

The believers of Yunxiao Sect are important, but relying on Immortal Gate to treat mortal believers cautiously seems unlikely.

Like Immortal Yu Hua controlling floods to engulf Linhe City.

For a greater purpose, Immortal Gate experts can indeed sacrifice a mortal city.

The Yunxiao Sect Leader did not give up on persuading Qiao Mu to join Immortal Gate.

But now, he has chosen a more intense method of persuasion.

Martial artists as skilled as Qiao Mu are not easily persuaded with words.

To convince them, you have to break their pride and stubbornness, crush what they value into dust completely.

Only when the belief in martial arts completely collapses, can it be rebuilt and reestablish the heart towards the path.

"Child, you are still young, placing too much importance on something has led you astray," said Yunxiao Sect Leader calmly.

"I am here to help you, to help you see through the illusions and realities of the world."

When these words were spoken.

Led by Cat Power Immortal, dozens of spiritual beasts dove down from the sky towards Linhe City on the ground.

At this moment, Qiao Mu was still trapped inside the lion’s head in the sea of clouds.

Clouds from all directions fluttered like threads, continuously flowing into his nose and mouth.

The Cloud Lion is incredibly strong and can transform its body into clouds.

At that moment, Qiao Mu felt like his limbs were stuck in a big pile of cotton, unable to exert any force. He also felt forces coming from all directions, like being in the deep sea.

He found himself trapped in this sea of clouds.

"It seems like he deliberately trapped me…"

Qiao Mu remained calm, having experienced countless life-threatening situations before.

Unable to break free from the sea of clouds for the moment, he thought of an unconventional solution.

"If I bite my tongue, I can free myself and be reborn."

"But… I just fought with the sect leader of the Yunxiao Sect and nearly lost my life. Can I still win?"

With only two chances left to be revived, Qiao Mu needed to consider carefully.

He looked down at Linhe City below.

………………………….

Cat Power Immortal descended from above the clouds.

Unlike the other spiritual beasts under the sect leader’s command, it hesitated slightly and did not immediately carry out the sect leader’s slaughter order.

Because Cat Power Immortal is actually the "Great Immortal" of Linhe City, protecting the city and sometimes helping drive away invading monsters.

Like the genuine disciples of the Immortal Gate, Cat Power Immortal also has a statue in the city, receiving worship and being carried by mortal men on outings.

At this moment, as Cat Power Immortal descended from the sky.

The ordinary people on the street caught sight of Cat Power Immortal’s enormous figure from afar, feeling not scared but rather delighted.

"Cat Power Immortal has arrived!"

"It just rained blood, and now a bunch of crazed monsters have suddenly appeared in the city…"

"Cat Power Immortal, help me!"

In the street, there were huge dogs like small mountains crashing houses, elephants rampaging, and monster dogs with open bloodthirsty mouths causing buildings to collapse and many mortals to fall into the air.

Although surprised by Yunxiao Sect Leader’s slaughter order, these spiritual beasts did not resist much.

The nature of monsters is animalistic, and causing destruction and slaughter in a mortal city actually suits their nature, making them quite content.

Only Cat Power Immortal hesitated for a moment before the prayers of mortals.

After a while, it let out a soft sigh and lifted its chubby cat paw, about to press down.

Suddenly, more mortals fell to their knees, begging for its help.

These mortals didn’t think much, assuming Cat Power Immortal would help, so they prayed even harder.

"Fine." Cat Power Immortal squinted its eyes and firmly pressed its cat paw down.

"At least I can… make you die more quickly."

The hundred thousand mountains can be considered as the backyard of Yunxiao Sect. Here, Yunxiao Sect is in charge, and the demon race is just underlings of Immortal Gate.

Whether it is the Immortal Spirit Beast protecting the mortals or the chaotic vicious beast, it all depends on a single thought from Yunxiao Sect.

What is happening in this city is just a glimpse of what has been happening in Yunxiao Sect for the past forty years.

The giant paw of Cat Power Immortal was about to strike.

But for some reason, the movement suddenly froze.

Cat Power Immortal seemed to suddenly sense something, with its pupils shrinking to the size of needlepoints, its back unconsciously arching slightly, its fur bristling, lifting the daoist robe draped over its body high, giving it an even more majestic appearance.

Turning its head.

At the corner of the street, a round-faced fat cat suddenly appeared.

The round-faced chubby cat had messy fur but was shiny and smooth, with a faint glow under the sunlight.

The chubby cat was just an ordinary wild cat in size, not as imposing as the Cat Power Immortal in a robe, but it made the latter feel threatened, stirring its instinctive aggression.

In the corners of the streets and alleys.

Li Changshi, a half-faced old man from Stone City, walked out. He looked at the chaotic mansion city around him, showing a look of pity on his half face.

"The spiritual refining master in the city uses the Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique to transmit the news of the mansion city."

"But Peach Blossom Villa is not the only place where someone like Qiao Pianxin can hear that transmission."

"In Jiu Province, the Qiao family is not the only one fearless in the face of danger."

With more help when on the right path and less when on the wrong path, Qiao Mu chose humanity, and ordinary people also chose to stand by his side.
