The mbers of the clan with the surna Xuan are indeed very formidable...
However, Xuan Yue over there is not happy, just furrowing his brows, staring at his hands, montarily lost for words.
Tie Dan also cupped his hands to offer a step down,
"Divine Monarch’s powers are profound, truly living up to your reputation. I am ashad of my inferiority."
Xuan Yue glanced at Tie Dan, then looked down, pondered for a long ti, and finally opened his palms to reveal one palm charred black, as if scorched by fire, and the other cracked like a decaying sand.
"What magic is this that could break my power?"
Indeed, although it’s beyond the collision, it can still kill, the Three Elents True Skill, the magic was shattered.
Tie Dan also saw the flicker in Xuan Yue’s eyes, obviously intimidated, a murderous intent arose, but he showed no fear, standing firm on the treetop, he spoke loudly,
"It’s from the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Xuan Yue was suddenly shocked in spirit,
"From the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
Tie Dan nodded, staring at Xuan Yue, pointed his hand to the sky,
"That’s right, a Heavenly Demon entered my dream, taught the magic, imparted the Dao."
Xuan Yue was montarily stunned, his jaw dropped involuntarily, his eyes instinctively glanced skyward, towards a specific direction.
As expected, it was not surprising that this fellow knew of the existence of the Taiyin Demon Palace. After all, from the information in the dream, the Wang Family has been allied with the Immortal Palace and clan for generations, a staunch support of the Ziwei Constellation’s foreign relative forces, certainly deeply connected to the master behind the Immortal Palace, essentially acting as their agent in the mortal world.
Of course, going a bit more conspiratorial, when Xuan Du was dealing with Heavenly Demons at the critical mont, the patriarch of this white glove family happened to co in response, doesn’t that precisely an that the Heavenly Demon in Taiyin Taixu was totally aware and understood clearly the experints in Leisure Palace?
So if you really think that the Immortal Palace is just a backdrop among the Three Great Sects, you’d be sorely mistaken.
At the pivotal point sixty years later, Lingxu’s Taixu Dao was interrupted, Xuan Du’s Taixu Dao was interrupted as well, and suddenly the Mystic Sect lost two of the world’s top sects, followed by upheaval, a teor shower, demons entering the world, calamity looming.
Everything was according to the script of the Taiyin Immortal Palace. Everything was under the control of the Taiyin Immortal Palace. Everything was calculated by the Taiyin Immortal Palace.
"Gulp."
Xuan Yue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitated,
"Is it really... taught by the Heavenly Demon?"
Tie Dan looked at him, smiled slightly,
"Do you want to learn it?"
Xuan Yue couldn’t help but shiver, his spine chilled, a sudden sense of being targeted by a hunter erged, instinctively he sensed falling into so sche, subconsciously he wanted to escape, roll into the earth and perform the Earth Escape eight hundred miles away, the further the better.
But he stood firm.
After all, standing here is not so Wang Pengzu of the Wang Family, not so watchdog of the Immortal Palace, but the Sect Leader and Divine Monarch Xuan Yue of Sky Covering Mountain Three Elents Extre Truth Sect.
He holds a lineage of Dao transmission, with a group of Daoists behind him, when the path beneath his feet sees its end and diverges, as the one leading the way, how can he ignore it, leading the whole sect into a dead end?
So after a brief silence, the icy robe lted, the golden body vanished, the jade bone dissipated, Divine Monarch Xuan Yue regained human form, with gray-white hair, the appearance of a middle-aged man, then waved his hand, suddenly the wind grew strong, dark clouds covered the sky, obscuring the morning star, hiding the heavenly chanism, then respectfully bowed and said,
"Please, Fellow Daoist, enlighten ."
Tie Dan nodded, spread his hand,
"Alright, watch my sword."
"My Sword..."
Xuan Yue stared at the Black Sword in Tie Dan’s palm for a while, hesitated,
"It seems... forged from the Earth Spring?"
Tie Dan nodded,
"Indeed, your insight truly profound, befitting the position of Sect Leader. At the Nine Peaks of Cloud Platform, you will surely have a seat in due course."
Xuan Yue cupped his hands,
"Sect Leader Xuantian flatters , the seat at Cloud Platform is not so easy to sit in. Without dozens of talents to stand alone, even sitting there is just a hollow title, having to handle everything personally, burdened by the false reputation, running around mounted on a pole, truly exhausting."
Tie Dan was curious,
"But doesn’t Chief Lingxu seem to have no disciples? Oh, he raised a cat..."
Xuan Yue shrugged,
"So he has to do everything himself. Moreover, that guy’s situation is sowhat unique. Many people from various sects are secretly watching him, though I don’t know how he accumulated so many connections. When he rose to prominence, I had just reincarnated, so I’m not very familiar with him. I won’t gossip behind his back anymore.
Let’s get back to business, Fellow Daoist. What is the principle behind your move?"
Then Tie Dan explained,
"It’s quite simple. I first used Earth Spring to break Qi, collapsing your Taoist Body structure.
As for the underlying principle, it’s said that the Heavenly Demon transmitted the thod to . In the beginning, when heaven and earth first opened, the primordial chaos was like an egg, with Pangu born within. Later, Taiji was ford, with the yang becoming clear and rising to beco heaven, and the yin becoming turbid and sinking to form the earth. This is the so-called Departnt of Heavenly Breath and Earth Spring. Using Heavenly Breath to transform Qi, the numbers began with one, stood at three, completed at five, flourished at seven, and peaked at nine. Therefore, the Taiji Dao is completed in the nine numbers...
No, Sect Leader, what’s wrong? You’re bleeding from all seven orifices. Is it serious?"
Xuan Yue lay on the ground, "Wow—" vomiting a large mouthful of blood, then wiped the blood off his face and waved his hand,
"It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I didn’t expect you to be so generous, explaining the Heavenly Book to from the start. I couldn’t hold back for a mont... Continue, I can still endure."
Tie Dan looked skeptical, but since the other said it was okay, he continued,
"In short, I’ve deduced that using the Mystic Sect’s Qi Refining thod, pushing the Taiji Nine Qi to the Supre Realm, I can unify the Nine Qi, and transform the Innate Breath. On the path of Taiji Dao, I’ve already reached the end, on the verge of Heavenly Harmony and Dao Transformation, but conversely, it’s also just the beginning of entry-level.
So I speculate that the next step is to rge Earth Evil and swallow Earth Spring, integrating True Yang Spirit Breath, Yin Dross, Dao Void Nine Qi, Earth Evil Ghost Spring, and Heavenly Breath and Earth Spring into one sword. Only by greatly transforming Taiji, returning to Void and refining Evil, can one touch the threshold of that ultimate primordial Chaos Great Dao, reaching the end of Dao..."
"Pfft—! Wow—! Ugh—!"
Xuan Yue lay on the ground, waving his hand, vomiting blood continuously. It was like a massive gastric hemorrhage, creating a blood pond on the ground.
Seeing this, it seed he couldn’t withstand it anymore. So, Tie Dan had to shut up and wait by the side for him to recover.
"Fellow Daoist, you’ve mastered the Three Elents Returning to Truth Divine Skill, already touching the essence of Qi, laying a certain foundation. I recomnd that you next drink spring and swallow evil, refine the Dao Body, and experint with new thods."
Xuan Yue shook his head while vomiting blood,
"Ugh, you’re joking, ugh, swallowing Earth Spring, ugh, isn’t that ruining my body! Wasting my efforts! No way, no way! Ugh—"
Tie Dan looked at him and shook his head,
"Fellow Daoist, don’t you understand yet? Once destiny changes, the environnt changes, and opponents change, what use are your years of diligent study and hard cultivation?
I’ve already broken the thod. If I really wanted to kill you, there’s no need for so many feints; a single sword thrust is enough. Whether you waste your effort or re-cultivate, it’s a dead-end either way. You might as well take a chance amidst death, give it a try.
Since I, Dao with Nine Luminaries Unification, can cast a sword with Earth Spring, you, Dao with Three Elents, could wash your body with Earth Spring, there might be a way."
Xuan Yue hesitated for a mont. After all, the principle indeed made sense. Everyone was from the Mystic Sect, reaching the peak realm. Ultimately, they were groping in the dark, and no one was necessarily stronger than the other, just fumbling around.
Now, seeing with his own eyes that Tie Dan’s Sword Dao of Nine Luminaries Unifying and casting Earth Spring had succeeded, so too might his Three Elents Returning to Truth in shaping the Dao Body.
Tie Dan, seeing he was tempted, further suggested,
"You could return to the mountain for closed-door ditation, pondering for sixty or seventy years. After I finish here, I’ll visit you, and by then, I’ll ensure your wife’s safe return."
Xuan Yue furrowed his brows into a knot,
"This... I really don’t understand. Fellow Daoist, what are you after in the end?"
Tie Dan looked at the dark clouds in the sky and squatted beside Xuan Yue,
"Actually, with the Mystic Sect reaching this stage, any smart person knows there’s no more road ahead.
If one is an average person, living freely for a lifeti, living five hundred more years would be a wild dream.
But those who can reach the pinnacle, directly reaching the peak of Cloud Platform, are they not all Heavenly Pride Daoist, mortals of the dragon and phoenix among n?
I don’t believe that the old Divine Monarchs of the nine major sects are willing to idle away in the mountains and wait for death.
And the simplest path in this world is nothing more than, if you can’t beat them, join them.
So I’m afraid that in Cloud Platform Peak, secretly bowing to the Demon Palace and colluding in the dark, surely it’s not just you, sir?"
Xuan Yue lifted his eyes, eting Tie Dan’s wolf-like gaze. For a mont, he could actually see his own sorry and pathetic reflection in those icy eyes.
But Tie Dan didn’t make it difficult for him; he just patted his shoulder, smiling,
"You help deliver a ssage to the palace, ask them to co down and et . I want to join too."
