To say that killing one person would throw the world into chaos is naturally an exaggeration, but killing just one Immortal Emperor truly wouldn’t affect the Immortal Palace. At worst, they’d just replace him with a robot.
Moreover, Tie Dan understood the point behind what Daoist Lingxu was saying.
Virtue, reason, compassion—he didn’t believe in these things, and clearly, neither did Daoist Lingxu. So, if there weren’t any benefits to be gained, this number one under heaven wouldn’t necessarily take the step to subdue the demons.
Thus, Tie Dan decided to be expedient,
"Since it’s an order from the Daoist Lord, how could a disciple not obey? I initially just wanted soone to deal with this Demon Head and hadn’t expected the Immortal Palace to be so useless they couldn’t even buy so ti.
It’s good that you’ve co. When the sky falls, soone tall will hold it up. Please, go ahead."
Daoist Lingxu smiled,
"No problem, I’ll handle this tribulation."
Heavenly Blade chuckled coldly,
"Blah, blah, blah! Finished discussing? Co on, try my sword!"
To engage in sword fighting and Seeking Dao with the acknowledged number one Daoist Lingxu, even the Three Heads of Heavenly Blade had to go all out. Ignoring Tie Dan, they sealed his acupoints and tossed him in front of Beichen Palace, drawing three circles to confine him inside. He could watch the sword fighting and Seeking Dao within but couldn’t leave.
As for Heavenly Blade and Daoist Lingxu, with their four heads, they leapt together onto the rooftop, ready to duel at the peak of Three Constellations, atop the roof of Ziwei Immortal Palace’s Beichen Palace...
Tie Dan looked to the left.
This Heavenly Blade Star Lord really didn’t bother with appearances, with three heads on his shoulders, a floral crown, wings spread on both sides, skin bursting with flesh, covered in blood, his treasure sword in hand filled with wind, thunder, and fire, strewn with demon light, and sword energy intermingled with electricity, all radiating a "I’m fierce, I’m strong, I’m mighty!" vibe. Though clearly a peerless divine demon, he looked like a low-tier boss skeleton king, lacking presence.
Tie Dan then looked to the right.
Daoist Lingxu was a bit too particular, with a crystal clear Daoist robe like it had been washed in water, a radiant jade-like face, and a beautiful beard and eyebrows; his Nine Qi swirling like clouds, his immortal aura fluttering and sleeves flowing. Even now, he maintained a graceful deanor, an appearance of immortal style and Daoist vigor, showing none of the urgency for a boss fight. Couldn’t he at least roll up his sleeves...
At this mont, Tie Dan couldn’t see who might win.
After all, he weighed the Black Sword in his hand and felt uncertain.
Even though he had drawn the sword, and Heavenly Blade seed clear-headed, the risk of heaven collapsing and earth shattering seed temporarily averted. Yet...
Light, too light, light as a feather. The Earth Evil Ghost Spring refined into the Black Sword after Chen Xuantian killed the Water Bear Monster had been completely depleted. Damn, the sword power I built up was snatched away by that guy’s Enlightennt.
Alright then, now the Black Sword lacks weight, and the force that binds and entangles has weakened. Tie Dan felt that his Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi wasn’t as swift as before with Qi Replenishnt, estimating that once the True Qi inside him gradually dissipates, he’ll fall back to Foundation Establishnt Level again.
The no-consu, no-CD, unrestricted teleporation experience card was about to expire...
At this rate, not only has his Innate Sword Qi not ford, but even the Earth Evil Spirit Spring Sword Embryo has apparent flaws. Attacking with this sword just funnels Sha Qi to the opponent, isn’t that just doing it for others?
Still too weak, needs to get stronger. No idea if growing two more heads will help. For cultivators like us, appearance doesn’t matter much. If it can be controlled, there’s a case for considering the Dao Body...
At this ti, the two bosses weren’t moving either. After all, for them, this was also a valuable Enlightennt boss fight, and they probably didn’t want to settle it just by firing a few beams, asuring sizes and wrapping it up.
Both sides might be calculating and probing each other’s Daoist Skill, or perhaps a battle within their Primordial Spirits had started long ago; it’s just that Tie Dan’s realm was too low to notice.
Then, the door to Beichen Palace opened.
A little eunuch snuck out through the crack, tiptoeing away.
Oh, been waiting for you.
Tie Dan urged,
"Hey, the seal-bearer ran off, fight can start now."
That ’little eunuch’ glared at Tie Dan.
Tie Dan glared right back,
"What are you looking at?! Scram!"
The little eunuch took a close look and saw the young man covered in blood, with only two bloody holes where his eyes should be, a sword scar so deep on his brow it exposed bone, with blood gleaming everywhere.
Startled by this ghastly face, he turned crimson, and since the ten Daddy and Mom protectors around him had all been beaten to bits, he didn’t dare argue with Tie Dan. He could only flee, clutching his head, out of Beichen Palace.
And so, as the puppet slipped away, the two finally began their Dao exchange.
"Three Flowers Blossom!"
It’s still that move, and in fact, Tie Dan had already figured it out.
The power of the three swords—wind, fire, and thunder—is probably based on the Taiji Five Qi Interdependence and Restriction principle; the Second Transition enhances it with various top-notch sword energy refining and changing Secret Technique, then accompanied by the special effects of Earth Evil Ghost Spring, similar to Tie Dan’s Heavenly Ruin Sword Qi evolution, leading to a Third Transition, refined and distilled into Innate Level Special Sword Qi’s wind, fire, and thunder transformations.
Although the Immortal Palace was large and imposing, in essence, they just brutishly categorized Spiritual Qi and shot it out. Hence, refining the Third Transition to attack First Transition without refinent was simply adding fuel to the fire, overwhelmingly unstoppable, impenetrable, infinitely powerful, overriding attributes, unstoppable, sweeping across, blowing everything sky-high.
Just that the specifics of how this Second Transition and Third Transition work, Tie Dan hadn’t formally received Honzan’s secret manual Daoist teachings, so he could only roughly grasp the concepts but couldn’t fully understand them at first glance.
