Chapter 147: Dao Discussion on Yun Ding
A gust of wind blew past, and Ye Qiu’s white clothes swayed with the wind. He strolled leisurely and lightly jumped into the sky.
Looking at the white figure, Gu Jianxuan had no choice but to fight. If he retreated now, it would be equivalent to telling everyone that the Supreme Hall was inferior to his Heaven Mending Sect. As a powerful figure of his generation, it would be even more embarra.s.sing if he lost to a junior today.
Therefore, Gu Jianxuan could only win today’s battle and not lose.
The people who came here today were all experts from the various immortal mountains and holy lands. Almost half of the famous figures of the Eastern Wasteland were here.
This concerned the reputation of his orthodoxy, so he could not back down.
!!
“Alright! Today, I’ll give it a try and see just how capable the disciple of Xuantian is…”
Gu Jianxuan waved his sleeve domineeringly and leaped into the sky.
Everyone immediately became excited.
“The first battle of Yun Ding is a battle between peak-level Paragon. Interesting, too exciting.”
“Let us see. Is the Dao technique of the Heaven Mending Sect more exquisite, or is the Dao technique of the Supreme Hall more exquisite?”
In the crowd, He Wushuang, Fuyao, and the others were even more excited. To be able to witness the battle of the Paragons was a huge gain for them. If they could comprehend a thing or two from it, that would be their opportunity.
“After so many days, I didn’t expect to see the glory of a Sword Immortal again. I’m really looking forward to it.” He Wushuang muttered, his eyes shining.
In the Heaven Mending Sect’s team, Ming Yue looked at the white figure in the sky with concern. She turned around and said to Lin Qingzhu, “Qingzhu, look carefully! It’s very rare for such experts to spar. If you can pry into it, it will be extremely helpful to your cultivation.”
Lin Qingzhu nodded seriously and watched the battle in the sky. At this moment, she had already reached level nine of Infinite Distance. She was just one step away from entering Five Realms. It was because she had yet to fully comprehend the Dao in her heart, so she was unable to break through.
Ming Yue deliberately reminded her to observe the Dao techniques and comprehensions involved in the Dao discussion.
Turning around, Ye Qiu was already in position in the sky. He didn’t use any immortal swords and slowly raised one hand.
A sword energy instantly condensed. He looked at Gu Jianxuan and said indifferently, “Senior Gu, please make your move…”
As a junior, Ye Qiu didn’t attack first. Instead, he let him attack first.
Since it was a Dao discussion, it was a compet.i.tion of both parties’ mental states and the profundity of the Dao techniques between their moves.
Seeing as he was looking down on him, Gu Jianxuan was also furious in his heart, but he remained unmoved on the surface. He slowly raised his right hand and formed a hand seal. Suddenly, the water in the stream on Mount Yun Ding slowly rose into the sky. He controlled the water with one hand and slowly formed a barrier. In the blue sea, lotus flowers slowly bloomed.
“What a Water Flower!”
“It seems that Gu Jianxuan’s mental state has also reached the realm of calm as water.” Perfected Zi Yang praised.
This so-called mental state was not a person’s personality, but his comprehension of Dao techniques.
The best interpretation of the Dao was to follow the Dao. Water is always flowing downwards and would never stop. Some people followed nature and followed the water. Amidst the myriad of changes, they searched for the laws and controlled them.
As for some people, they went against the flow and broke the rules to deal with all changes. They opened their own path.
Just now, Perfected Zi Yang used his hands to control the tea without changing its shape. It was to find the natural law of water and follow the flow of water to control it.
Now, Gu Jianxuan’s actions were the same.
“Using water to give birth to flowers means that all things begin with water. This is the source of the myriad changes in Dao techniques. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat. With life as the concept, it can shape life or destroy it. The life and death of everything exists in a single thought…
“How would Senior break it?” In the crowd, He Wushuang muttered. His eyes were deep, as if he understood something.
In the sky, Ye Qiu looked at the blooming lotus flowers in front of him and his heart trembled. After a while, he revealed a smile, a faint smile.
The blooming lotus flower suddenly turned into transparent water droplets that charged towards Ye Qiu. For a moment, the world seemed to have lost its color, turning incomparably gray. Summer dew awakened at dawn, and the flame of life seemed to have burned out.
Ye Qiu also exclaimed deeply. What a good move. It seemed like a simple move, but it was a powerful move in the Time Domain. It was as if he had seen the scene of his past life.
Ten years could see the change of the four seasons, a hundred years could see life and death, and a thousand years could see the change of dynasties.
This was the power of the law of time. It could make one fall into the fear of endless death and be unable to extricate themselves.
Seeing Ye Qiu’s stunned expression, Gu Jianxuan finally squeezed out a smile. “Hmph, kid, let’s see how you break this…”
He was extremely confident in his move. This was a powerful secret technique of the Time Domain. How could ordinary people easily break it?
Floating above the gray sky, everything seemed especially dim and lifeless. The trees and weeds all over the mountain seemed to have withered. As time pa.s.sed, life quickly pa.s.sed.
Drops of water pa.s.sed through Ye Qiu’s body, bringing with them the sorrow of time.
Was there really no hope?
No…
Ye Qiu slowly raised his right hand, and a green light flowed between his fingers. It was as if the sky had cleared after a rain, and the spring breeze bathed him. On Mount Yun Ding, green leaves came with the wind and flowed between two fingers. A desolate land with green gra.s.s. When the spring breeze blew, it was filled with vitality.
“This…”
This scene stunned everyone present. No one expected that with just a light move from Ye Qiu, the deathly silence in the entire mountain would instantly be revived. With a gentle wave of his hand, the haze between heaven and earth was instantly swept away. What followed was the revival of all things, and the gra.s.s and nightingale flew.
“Gasp… He resolved it in one move?” Perfected Zi Yang gasped, his eyes filled with shock.
The silent wilderness on the mountain was actually revived by Ye Qiu.
“The spring breeze blew through and all things revived. Is this Master’s technique?” Lin Qingzhu looked deeply at the white figure in the sky and was incomparably shocked. She calmed down and carefully savored the Dao technique Ye Qiu had used just now.
No… that was more like a sword technique, a sword technique that could revive everything. It was an even more profound sword technique than the technique opening the Heavenly Gate.
Lin Qingzhu gradually understood something.
“This…” Seeing this scene, Gu Jianxuan was shocked. He didn’t expect his Water Flower to be broken so easily by Ye Qiu.
“Hehe, old senior, I wonder if this move of mine is worthy of your attention?” After breaking the Water Flower with one move, Ye Qiu smiled faintly. Just now… he had used the third technique of the Cursive Sword Art.
It was a move from the Withers and Thrives Once A Year. It is called Spring Breeze Blew Again.
This was a sword move that was specially used to break through the time domain. It was different from Killing A Person From Ten Thousand Miles Away. It was a sword of life, not a sword of slaughter.
“How… how did you do it?” Gu Jianxuan asked in disbelief. He had actually lost so thoroughly in such a way.
Whether it was in terms of mental state or meaning, Ye Qiu’s moves were superior to his. Cultivating did not mean killing. Water gave birth to flowers, and it was evil to strip away the lives of all living beings. Ye Qiu’s All Life Revival was a sword of salvation. It gave all living beings hope to survive. It was for good. He could tell that Ye Qiu’s move was even more compatible with the Dao techniques.
Ye Qiu didn’t answer him. Instead, he continued, “How I did it isn’t important. Since it’s the Dao Discussion, the discussion on Dao Heart has already ended. Now, it’s time to discuss the Martial Dao…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qiu’s aura instantly changed. Sword energy suddenly erupted from his fingers. In an instant, green leaves flew out from the hundred-mile mountain. They were like sharp swords, incomparably sharp and oppressive.
Everyone’s hearts trembled.
“Every blade of gra.s.s is a sword. What an exquisite sword technique.” Even Perfected Zi Yang was shocked. They had never thought that they could use plants as weapons.
Compared to controlling the water where he did a few simple actions, it seemed like… controlling these leaves and using the gra.s.s as a sword was even more difficult, right?
From the looks of it, Ye Qiu was superior in terms of mental state.
At this moment, they finally realized that the rumors from the outside world were not fake. This person who was known as the White-Robed Sword Immortal really lived up to his reputation. The two of them looked at each other deeply and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.
Then, he shook his head. “Sigh, looks like we’re all old. This era is the era of the young.”
As the green leaves slowly gathered, the surrounding sky had already formed. A huge sword formation stood in the sky.
Gu Jianxuan’s expression instantly darkened. He could feel the shocking sword energy pressure from Ye Qiu. He really didn’t expect that Ye Qiu, a junior, could give him so much pressure. He was even more oppressive than his master, Daoist Xuantian, back then.
“Am I really going to lose to him?” Gu Jianxuan asked himself in his heart. He didn’t want to lose. This concerned the reputation of the Supreme Hall. If he lost, the Supreme Hall would really decline in the future.
Thinking of this, a powerful force erupted from his heart. In an instant, the power of a peak-level Paragon erupted without reservation. He strolled through the clouds and formed a hand seal. In an instant, the world lost its color.
“This is the Time Domain?”
Everyone was shocked. Unlike the move just now, the time law domain that Gu Jianxuan used now carried a heavy murderous aura.
Just now, it was just a compet.i.tion between the Dao Heart and not combat strength. Ye Qiu had won that. But now, the compet.i.tion of Martial Dao is to use pure strength to see whose Dao technique was deeper.
When this time law domain was released, Ye Qiu instantly felt his life force rapidly drain. He was restricted by the laws, while Gu Jianxuan moved freely and smoothly.
“Not good, Junior Brother is in danger!” In the crowd, Meng Tianzheng said nervously.
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.
“No way, even someone as strong as Martial Uncle Ye can’t resolve this move?”
“What do you know? This is the highest profundity of Dao techniques, the killing move of the laws of time. If you are in the domain of laws, your life force will rapidly flow away.”
“Furthermore, all your actions are restricted. You can’t break free at all.”
After hearing the explanation, everyone’s hearts trembled. They couldn’t help but worry for Ye Qiu.
Ming Yue clasped her hands together and became nervous. She was not a novice cultivator. She knew very well how terrifying the law of time was.
Lin Qingzhu and the others were also very nervous. Even Little Linglong revealed a rare worried expression. That was her master who doted on her the most.
“Senior Sister, will Master be fine?” Little Linglong asked worriedly. She couldn’t understand those laws, but she could feel that Ye Qiu was in danger and was very worried.
She recalled the stories Ye Qiu told them back then about that ignorant young man who waited bitterly under the wind chime tree for ten years.
She did not know where she started, but she seemed to understand the concept of life and death. She also seemed to understand in her heart that her parents, who were sleeping in the village, and that old beggar had completely left her.
Slowly, she understood that she only had her master and two senior sisters left.
Last time, in the school, the reason why she tore down the school and beat up Yang Bubai was not because she deliberately caused trouble. Instead, it was because after Yang Bubai found out about her encounter, he said that she was a jinx and jinxed the people closest to her to death.
She did not tell her master and senior sisters about these things. After returning to Violet Cloud Peak that day, she locked herself in her room and cried for the entire night.
Zhao Wan’er comforted her and said, “Little Junior Sister, don’t worry. Master will be fine.”
Lin Qingzhu turned around and looked at her with some doubt. It seemed that ever since she came back last time, this little fellow seemed to have many things hidden in her heart. It was unknown what she was thinking. She pretended to be carefree every day, but when she returned to her room, she was very quiet.
Unable to figure it out, Lin Qingzhu stopped thinking about it. Instead, she looked worriedly at the white figure in the sky.
As that time law domain appeared, Gu Jianxuan immediately became arrogant.
“Haha, Ye Qiu! This move is the highest inheritance of our Supreme Hall. Even your master suffered greatly from this move back then. Today, I want to see how you can crack it…” Gu Jianxuan said without any hesitation as he walked in the domain.
Just as he thought he could completely control Ye Qiu, he saw the figure struggling in the chaos suddenly stop.
A gust of wind blew past, sweeping away the haze in front of him. The green gra.s.s and leaves in the sky slowly condensed, forming a huge gra.s.s sword.
Gu Jianxuan frowned, not knowing what Ye Qiu was trying to do. In his domain, it was impossible for the so-called sword energy to hit him.
Even though the distance seemed close, it was several years away. As long as he didn’t receive it, it was impossible for the sword energy to hit him.
Just as he was feeling puzzled, Ye Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly raised his head and smiled. “Looks like Senior is very confident in your domain? Coincidentally, I also have a sword here. I would like to ask Senior to appraise it…”
Gu Jianxuan smiled. “Alright, I want to see what sword technique you have that can break my move.”
He didn’t believe that Ye Qiu really had a sword technique that could break his time law domain.The Daoist Xuantian back then barely cracked it because he had just learned this move and had yet to master it. Now that he had completely grasped this move, how could Ye Qiu break it?
Ye Qiu smiled and didn’t say anything. He only cared about condensing sword energy. Suddenly, a sword energy erupted. In an instant, a sword energy tore through the sky. It was like a sword that crossed the void, breaking through the shackles of time and heading straight for Gu Jianxuan.
Gu Jianhao’s expression instantly changed. “Impossible. How can he ignore the restrictions of my time law?”
At this moment, he wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Everyone present was shocked. He looked at the sky in disbelief. Ye Qiu drew his sword and charged over from the Heavenly Abyss. He could actually ignore the law of time domain and rush straight down.
Boom…
A shocking sound was heard. When he turned around, green leaves filled the sky and slowly arrived.
After breaking through the time barrier, Ye Qiu swept his sword across, directly breaking the restrictions of the laws and heading straight for Gu Jianxuan.
His expression changed. Just as he was about to escape, Ye Qiu pointed two fingers of sword energy at his glabella. If he dared to take a step, he would die.
He had lost…
He had actually lost so completely?
Gu Jianxuan’s heart trembled. He felt Ye Qiu’s world-destroying sword intent and his entire body trembled. It had been countless years since he had felt the threat of death.
The sword energy condensed between his fingers was pointed at Gu Jianxuan’s forehead. Ye Qiu didn’t attack. This was because he was the Grand Elder of the Supreme Hall. Currently, the two sects had yet to reach the point where they would fight to the death. If he killed him, it might cause a conflict between the two sects to erupt.
The Heaven Mending Sect had just experienced a huge battle, so it was not appropriate for a large-scale battle to erupt now. It would be easy to destroy a sect, but it might cause the other sects to attack together.
Ye Qiu slowly put away his sword and said softly, “Senior, it seems like I’ve won in this Martial Dao…”
Ye Qiu looked at Gu Jianxuan with a faint smile. Seeing his disbelief, Ye Qiu was delighted. Fortunately, he was lucky enough to obtain a divine skill and got the Killing A Person From Ten Thousand Miles Away.
This move happened to be the nemesis of the time law domain.
Gu Jianxuan’s loss was not unjustified. He was already considered capable of being able to lose under the divine technique.
After saying this, Ye Qiu turned around and left, leaving him alone in the sky.
“Oh my, you won?” Seeing that Ye Qiu had won, Qi Wuhui couldn’t sit still anymore.
If he didn’t mock him, when would he? He had been watching for a long time, waiting for this moment. He gently walked to Daoist Qingmiao’s side and said to the disciple not far away, “Tsk tsk, this is the Supreme Hall? It’s not much. He lost both rounds. He’s still an old warlord. Eh… If it were me, I would just die.”
“Qi Wuhui, you…” Daoist Qingmiao’s face turned red with anger.
