The entire Sword Debate Peak fell silent for a moment, then erupted into an even louder roar!

"It's Uncle-Master Xuanjing!"

"Senior Brother Ling Xiao is actually facing off against Uncle-Master Xuanjing? This... this pressure is immense!"

“Uncle-Master Xuanjing’s cultivation is profound, and that ‘Seven Aperture Exquisite Pagoda’ is unparalleled in defense. Senior Brother Lingxiao is probably in trouble this time…”

There was much discussion, ranging from shock and worry to great anticipation for this epic showdown!

Mysterious Mirror Master!

This title struck Jiang Chan's core consciousness like a bolt of lightning!

This person is exceptionally talented!

More importantly, his natal magic weapon—the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pagoda! When the seventh level is activated, it emits a clear radiance that nourishes the soul, and that aura... is of the same origin as the "Nine Revolutions Spirit-Nourishing Lotus"!

...The Lotus of Spiritual Essence...The Pure Radiance of the Same Origin...

The seed of jealousy...

At this moment, all the key elements were pushed to the brink of collision!

Jiang Chan's consciousness instantly tightened to the extreme!

All the "tentacles" tightly entangled the "seed of jealousy" buried deep in Ling Xiao's sea of ​​consciousness.

She could feel that the appearance of that name made the seed throb violently!

...

On the eve of the decisive battle, the candlelight in Lingxiao's quiet room was dim.

He sat cross-legged, but did not immediately enter a meditative state.

Instead, it involves repeated deductions.

There seemed to be invisible light and shadow intertwining before him.

He simulated the renowned Linglong Tower defense of the Mysterious Mirror Immortal.

One floor, two floors, three floors... the tower light flowed, and the defense became stronger and stronger.

The invisible sword light in his hand thrust out again and again, searching for an opening.

At the crucial moment: the seventh level of the Exquisite Pagoda suddenly opened! A gentle, pure, and sacred radiance, imbued with vibrant life and powerful protective energy, instantly descended, enveloping all directions! That aura… that feeling…

At the very moment that simulated moonlight shone!

Jiang Chan caught it!

Deep within Ling Xiao's forcibly calmed sea of ​​consciousness, the seed of jealousy, which had been forcibly suppressed and shaken by the demonic sound, suddenly erupted with a violent and twisted pulsation!

Like a heart being squeezed hard, a strong, almost tangible sense of resentment and anger, a "Why?!" suddenly rose up like a venomous snake. Although he was instantly and forcefully suppressed it again by his powerful willpower, the dark thoughts that escaped in that instant, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, stirred up chaotic ripples in his vast but no longer stable sea of ​​consciousness.

Ling Xiao's deduction suddenly froze, and his hand on his knee trembled almost imperceptibly.

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to suppress the inexplicable restlessness and palpitations in his heart.

“Mysterious Mirror… Seven-Aperture Exquisite Pagoda…” he murmured to himself, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity that he himself was unaware of, and… a barely perceptible hesitation.

...

On the sword-fighting platform, even the wind seemed to stand still.

Ling Xiao was still dressed in white, his clothes as pure as snow, and he held an ancient longsword in his hand.

Master Xuanjing was dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a thin face and deep, calm eyes.

A delicate seven-story pagoda floated in front of him, radiating a warm, precious light.

“Nephew Lingxiao, please.” Master Xuanjing nodded slightly, his voice calm.

"Uncle-Master Xuanjing, please enlighten me." Ling Xiao bowed with his sword, his voice still gentle and his demeanor impeccable.

No unnecessary words.

The sword flashed!

Ling Xiao moved! His body transformed into a stream of light, his sword flashing like a startled swan! He unleashed the incomparably fierce "Heavenly Evolution Sword Technique" with his first move. The sword light split into multiple segments, like a cascading galaxy, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it headed straight for the Xuanjing!

Master Xuanjing remained expressionless, his hands forming a hand seal.

The suspended Seven-Aperture Exquisite Pagoda instantly shone brightly, and the first-level tower door opened, revealing a solid golden light barrier!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The dense, rain-like sword light crashed into the golden light barrier, bursting forth with dazzling light and deafening metallic clang!

The barrier shook violently, yet remained firmly in place.

Lingxiao's sword stance changed, his figure darting like a ghost, the sword light sometimes condensing like a drill, sometimes dispersing like silk, constantly bombarding from various tricky angles.

The Linglong Tower shimmered with light, and the doors to the second and third floors opened one after another. Layers of yellow and blue light barriers overlapped, making the defense even more solid.

This is an ultimate clash between spear and shield!

Sword energy crisscrossed, and tower light shone brightly!

The dueling platform trembled slightly under the intense energy collision.

The disciples below the stage were mesmerized and dared not even breathe.

Time passed little by little.

Both sides were rapidly depleting their spiritual energy.

Ling Xiao's breathing was no longer as steady and long as at the beginning, and fine beads of sweat began to seep from his forehead.

Every time he fully activated his sword technique, Jiang Chan could feel the "string" in his sea of ​​consciousness tighten even more.

Beneath the perfect facade lies rapidly dwindling energy and a forced, suppressed fatigue and anxiety.

Master Xuanjing's face also turned slightly pale.

Maintaining the defenses of the Linglong Tower, especially its higher levels, is also extremely costly.

A glint flashed in his eyes, clearly indicating that he couldn't continue wasting time like this.

Chance!

Master Xuanjing suddenly changed his hand seals and uttered a low shout that shook the entire arena:

"All seven orifices are clear, and divine radiance protects the body!"

Buzz—!

The suspended Seven-Aperture Exquisite Pagoda trembled violently, and the seventh-level tower door, the most mysterious and core level, burst open!

In an instant!

An indescribable, gentle radiance, like moonlight, burst forth in an instant!

The radiance was not dazzling, but it carried a vast, pure, and vibrant power. It quickly enveloped Xuanjing Zhenren's entire body, like a flowing cocoon of sacred light.

Under the gentle glow, Xuanjing Zhenren's previously pale face regained its rosy hue at a visible speed, his eyes became brighter and deeper, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around him quickly became abundant and stable! This is a top-tier protective divine power that nourishes the soul and restores spiritual energy!
