Translator: 549690339 |
“Li Changye, I knowyou are touted as unbeatable in your realm, but you may not be able to withstand my Dao Array.”
“Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation, activate!” Zhuge Changming summoned eight fire-colored banners, positioning them in the Qian, Zhen, Kan, Gen, Kun, Xun, Li, and Dui directions, trapping Li Changye
with the Dao Array.
The banners blazed fiercely, with eight pillars of fire soaring into the sky, creating a fiery array. The surrounding air twisted from the intense heat, causing many elders to sweat profusely.
“What a terrifying Dao Array!”
“Zhuge Changming, truly worthy of being Hidden Dragon Temple’s chief disciple, can lay down a Dao Array in a mere moment.”
“The magic treasure he’s using is none other than the low-grade Innate Spirit
Treasure ‘Separating Fire Banner’!”
“Such an astonishing aura.”
Lu Changsheng felt the waves of heat coming at him and quickly circulated his energy to protect himself and Lian from the fire poison.
Lu Changsheng, merely a spectator, already felt the boundless heat wave One could only imagine what the scene was like for big brother at the center of the Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation.
Through the pillars of fire, Lu Changsheng’s gaze found Li Changye standing tall on the Martial Arts Platform.
Li Changye, clad in his sword attire, stood still as surging energy surrounded
him, shielding against the fire poison.
“No doubt this is Hidden Dragon Temple’s renowned Separating Fire Heaven Burning Formation, but its effect on me is limited.
Li Changye moved so fast that he left only a shadow behind.
“Break!”
Without anyone noticing, his longsword was unsheathed, slicing through the fire pillars like a streak of white silk, shattering the formation.
The next moment, Li Changye’s sword was already in front of Zhuge Changming.
Zhuge Changming, startled, moved his longsword forward to parry Li Changye’s astonishing strike.
Li Changye’s swordplay was rapid and continuous, like drifting clouds and flowing water, without a single flaw.
Zhuge Changming could only defend passively, his wrist trembling violently. “Big brother’s physique is the Eternal Wilderness Body; even if he’s stabbed by Zhuge Changming’s longsword, it won’t threaten his life. In contrast, Zhuge Changming cannot afford a single mistake; otherwise, he would lose.” “Thus, big brother only needs to concentrate on his offense, while Zhuge Changming has to defend and look for opportunities to counterattack.” “Merely defending, with Zhuge Changming’s stamina, he simply can’t sustain a fight against big brother. This, with Zhuge Changming’s wisdom, is not hard to understand.”
“But having to defend and counterattack at the same time makes it easier to reveal weaknesses.”
“And each of big brother’s levels is extremely solid, his Spiritual Energy inside his Qi Sea is several times that of a cultivator of the same realm, plus big brother’s firm Dao heart, he won’t give his opponent any chance to exploit.’
“For Zhuge Changming, this is a checkmate.
Second Senior Brother Song Wuchuan analyzed the fight at the side, with precise reasoning.
The exceptionally strong special physique “Eternal Wilderness Body,” incredibly solid levels, and the Spiritual Energy that is several times that of a cultivator of the same realm – these are the reasons why big brother Li Changye is invincible in the Dao Palace realm!
Zhuge Changming excelled in strategizing and deduction, but in a place like the Martial Arts Platform, where there’s little external force to borrow from, he was completely at a loss against Li Changye.
“What’s going on, Li Changye is indeed as strong as the rumors say, now we’re
in trouble.”
The Martial Alliance’s chief disciple, Elder Ye, muttered under his breath, looking quite troubled.
If the Martial Alliance defeats the Refinement Sect, then he will have to face Li
Changye.
Alliance Leader Master Chen patted his leading disciple on the shoulder, “Little Ye, just do your best. With two out of three rounds, even if you lose, we still have a chance.”
Elder Ye gave a wry smile of helplessness.
Even the Alliance Leader Master Chen didn’t have confidence in him.
“Master, to tell you the truth, I stand no chance against Li Changye.” Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s chief disciple saw Li Changye’s astounding performance and shook his head slightly.
Li Changye is invincible in the Dao Palace Realm, how can anyone fight against him?
“You needn’t worry, I have already calculated. You may lose to Li Changye, but as long as your two junior sisters win, following the best two out of three system, our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion can still stand above Mount Shu.” “The little disciple from Taiyuan is merely at the first layer of the Dao Palace Realm, and definitely no match for Xue’er.”
“Then, the victory or defeat will hinge on the match between Taiyuan’s second disciple and my second disciple.”
“My second disciple, Xiao Meng’er, has a talent akin to mine, slightly inferior to Li Changye but superior to Song Wuchuan,”
“No matter howyou calculate it, it’s two wins and one loss; this time, we’ll finally be able to thoroughly humiliate that old man from Taiyuan. Despite witnessing Li Changye’s monstrous talent, the Fairy Pavilion Master of the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion stayed confident in her plan.
The fight continued on the Martial Arts Platform, with Li Changye managing with ease, whereas Zhuge Changming1 s sweat had already soaked his blue robe.
“Stop, I admit defeat.”
Zhuge Changming conceded voluntarily.
“Brother Zhuge excels at utilizing various external forces to defeat strong enemies. There is nothing here, and no outsiders can intervene, which does not favor you; I have an advantage,” Li Changye didn’t gloat over defeating the chief disciple of Hidden Dragon Temple.
“Defeated is defeated, I, Zhuge Changming, am not someone who cannot accept a loss.” Zhuge Changming bowed and then returned to sit with the elders of Hidden Dragon Temple. He also bowed to the Temple Master Yu Xuanji, “Master, your disciple lacks talent and could not win.
Yu Xuanji only nodded without saying much.
“As expected of the big brother, a man invincible at his level!”
“No wonder the Sect Leader allowed big brother to act in place of him, with big brother’s talent, in a few hundred years, he is certain to become our new Sect Leader of Mount Shu.”
“Big brother is just one step away from the Void Refinement Realm.
After Li Changye returned to his seat, the elders of Mount Shu praised him one after another.
The big brother was indeed the foremost among the young elders.
“Now, let’s see how the second brother performs.
“Second brother, you have to try hard; you can’t let the little junior brother shoulder the blame.”
After big brother Li Changye defeated the chief disciple of Hidden Dragon Temple, Zhuge Changming, it was the second brother, Song Wuchuan’s turn to go up, and his opponent was Jiang Feng, a disciple at the seventh layer of the Dao Palace Realm.
The result was unsurprising, with Song Wuchuan of the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm defeating Jiang Feng of the seventh layer.
Following the best two out of three system, Lu Changsheng no longer needed to fight, and Mount Shu claimed victory.
“Our Hidden Dragon Temple has indeed grown a bit complacent over the past few centuries.”
“My little disciple Liu Xunxian does have quite good qualifications, it’s a pity he didn’t get to participate.”
Yu Xuanji’s tone remained unchanged, not considering this competition significant.
“It’s a pity we couldn’t see what’s so special about Taiyuan’s little disciple.” The Fairy Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion felt somewhat regretful.
She had intended to see what exceptional methods Lu Changsheng possessed and whether he posed a threat to Xia Ningxue, but Li Changye and Song Wuchuan of Mount Shu were too extraordinary, achieving two victories without a need for Lu Changsheng to fight.
Next up was the contest between Immeasurable Temple and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
“The first to compete for Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is the chief disciple Zeng Yeqiu, with the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Dao Palace Realm, not the match for Master Mingzhi of Immeasurable Temple.
“However, the most talented in Inquiry Immortal Pavilion is not the chief disciple but rather the second disciple, Xiao Meng’er, who has cultivated for three hundred and seventy years and is also at the eighth layer of the Dao
Palace Realm.”
“But what truly draws attention is Xia Ningxue, who has only recently appeared before the public eye.”
Zhao Wuyan, who didn’t need to participate in the fight, began to analyze on the sidelines, and the attentive elders of Mount Shu nodded along as they listened, wholly engrossed as if they were hearing a story.
