Liao Zhen laughed and said, "Buddha, it would be better if you didn't use this little bit of your ability."

The Buddha sneered and said, "In that case, let's see what the true meaning of my Buddha is."

Having said that, Tathagata jumped aside, channeled his magical power, and formed the Immovable Vajra Mudra with his hands. The Buddha's light shone brightly, and Tathagata's hands seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, as if they were solid. His hands were completely golden, and even Liaozhen's eyelids twitched when he saw it.

With a loud shout, Tathagata lunged at Liaozhen. Liaozhen, seeing this, was not afraid. He raised his hands, his sleeves billowing, his inner power surging within. Liaozhen swung his hands at Tathagata and directly clashed with him.

The two men's fists collided, producing a series of thunderous explosions. The space around their fists could not withstand their immense force and began to shatter. The cracks, pulled by the shattering space, rushed towards their hands, but were automatically neutralized by the protective immortal light emanating from their bodies, preventing them from advancing.

Tathagata hadn't expected that Zhen would possess such strength, actually able to withstand him head-on. Back when he was Duobao, he already had his unique fighting style. Duobao was a stone in front of Zixiao Palace, which was opened when Hongjun attained enlightenment. Duobao was fortunate enough to obtain its essence, and his body was naturally extremely strong, even surpassing that of ordinary spiritual treasures. Back then, he received the opportunity from the Dao Ancestor's teachings, which gave rise to his intelligence. Furthermore, Peng Tongtian transformed the starting point into a physical form, which was truly a great fortune. Otherwise, if he had encountered someone else, they might have used his body to refine magical treasures.

Although Duobao is named Duobao and does indeed possess many magical treasures, he rarely uses them in battle. Duobao has great faith in his physical body and prefers to fight with his fists. Although he has thousands of magical treasures, he has hardly ever used them. Those magical treasures were merely crafted out of his hobby.

Since transforming into Tathagata, Duobao's fighting style has not changed. With the improvement of his cultivation, Tathagata's physical body has become even stronger. Previously, he had used the Immovable Vajra Seal to strengthen his fists. At this moment, the hardness of Tathagata's hands is no less than that of an innate spiritual treasure. He was able to fight to a draw with Liaozhen. Tathagata knew that Liaozhen was just a human who had cultivated. Even if he had good aptitude, his physical body should not be so strong.

After exchanging blows with Tathagata, Liaozhen was not in good shape either. His fists felt as if they had struck steel, causing him great pain. Penglai Island has many magical arts, among which there are a few supernatural powers that are rare in the world.

First, the Dutian Xuanyuan Gong was designed by Xuantian specifically for the disciples of Penglai Island. Originally, Xuantian intended to use this technique as the island's protective divine skill, but later decided to make it public, allowing anyone who could cultivate it to do so, entirely based on their own opportunities and aptitude. This Dutian Xuanyuan Gong was based on the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong and Eight-Nine Xuan Gong of later generations, with the main body being the Dutian Demon God Great Art in the hands of the Carefree Ancestor, plus the combat techniques from Pangu's memories as bricks, the body-refining techniques of the Wu Clan as beams, and transformation techniques as tiles. This method emphasizes practical combat. Once cultivated, the physical body will lean towards that of a Wu Clan member, and magical power will not be limited by realm. It is specially prepared for those who seek to prove the Dao through strength. In the end, the physical strength will be no less than that of Pangu's true body.

Second, as time goes by, this escape technique, which Xuan Tian developed specifically for escaping, can cover 280,000 li in an instant, which is 40,000 li faster than the Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang. Moreover, its greatest special effect is that it ignores formations and restrictions. This is a closely guarded secret of Penglai Island, and it must never be passed on to outsiders without Xuan Tian's approval. Among the disciples of Penglai Island, only the second generation disciples have learned this technique.

Third, the Profound Ultimate Heaven-Opening Technique. This is a powerful technique developed by Xuan Tian through combining Pangu's memories with his own practical experience. Those who master it can supposedly create heaven and earth with their bare hands. Of course, this is a joke; creating heaven and earth requires enduring the pressure of the primordial world, and only those with an extremely powerful physical body would dare to use this technique. Currently, none of the disciples of Penglai Island have mastered it.

Fourth, the Heavenly Thunder. This technique is similar to the Three Pure Ones Thunder, and can be considered to be of the same origin. The only difference is that Xuan Tian has all the memories of the Heavenly Thunder, while the Three Pure Ones can only rely on their own memories to combine the Purple Heaven Thunder to create a new thunder technique. In terms of power, it is somewhat inferior to the Heavenly Thunder.

Fifth, the Art of Creation, which Xuan Tian comprehended from the Twenty-Fourth Grade Creation Green Lotus. This art can create things out of thin air; turning stone into gold is just a joke. Although learning this art is not very helpful in battle, it is very beneficial to cultivators. Unlike Nuwa's art of creating living beings, this method uses all things in heaven and earth to create oneself in order to reach the most perfect state.

Sixth, the art of sword control was created by Xuan Tian by combining the sword control methods of the world. It uses the primordial spirit to control the sword as easily as using one's own arm and fingers. It uses oneself as the foundation and the immortal sword as the guide to draw upon the power of heaven and earth to attack. Those who master it can roam freely in the world with the sword in their hand, and no one but a saint can stop them.

Seventh, the Great Derivation Zhou Tian Technique. This technique is based on the Eight Trigrams and incorporates innate arithmetic. Those who master it can prolong life and avoid death, and seek good fortune and avoid misfortune. It is no less powerful than the Red Horse Monkey among the Four Chaotic Monkeys, and its method of calculating heavenly secrets is first-rate.

8. The art of weapon forging. This art is the culmination of Xuan Tian's many years of experience. It uses the primordial spirit as a furnace, the mind as the furnace fire, and gathers the essence of heaven and earth as a catalyst to forge magical treasures that are as natural as the user himself.

Liao Zhen then cultivated three of the eight great supernatural powers. Based on the special mental cultivation method of Penglai Island, he cultivated the Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong. He also received two drops of Pangu's essence blood from Xuan Tian. One drop was used to refine himself, and the other was used to refine his avatar. His physical strength was even greater than that of a Great Witch. The Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong also reached the seventh level. Fortunately, the Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong is different from the Eight-Nine Xuan Gong and the Nine-Turn Xuan Gong. This skill only cultivates the physical body and magic power. The primordial spirit does not necessarily need to be cultivated using the Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong mental cultivation method. Otherwise, given how difficult the Du Tian Xuan Yuan Gong is to cultivate, Liao Zhen would probably have difficulty even severing one corpse. Fortunately, Penglai Island had the withered tree root and the pills refined by Xuan Tian. In addition, the rich spiritual energy of Penglai Island also enabled Liao Zhen to cultivate to the seventh level.
