Just as Taiqing Daoist was about to attack again, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and a Daoist stood before him. Upon seeing the Daoist approach, Liaozhen, without even healing his wounds, bowed and said, "Disciple greets Master."
This person is an avatar of the Sage Xuantian, representing the current Xuantian Daojun.
"No need for formalities." Xuan Tian Dao Jun said to Zhen Dao, then turned to Tai Qing Dao Ren and said, "Brother Dao, this humble Daoist Xuan Tian Dao Jun is here to pay his respects." He then bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Taiqing felt as if he had swallowed a fly, knowing that revenge was impossible. Despite his displeasure, he cupped his hands to Xuantian and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist." His displeasure was evident from his very form of address.
Xuan Tian Dao Jun didn't take it to heart. After exchanging greetings with Tai Qing Dao Ren, he went on to ask Zhen Zhen about his business, leaving Tai Qing Dao Ren standing aside.
Taiqing Daoist was in a very uncomfortable position, unsure whether to stand or sit. He would rather Xuantian Daojun had come to fight him than just stand there, unsure of what to say. Continuing the fight seemed inappropriate, but not fighting left him feeling extremely resentful. He was truly in a difficult situation.
After a while, Xuan Tian Dao Jun seemed to remember him and turned to Tai Qing Dao Ren, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this time my disciple was outmatched by you, and his skill is inferior to yours." The last two words, "skill," were said in a rather sarcastic tone, which made Tai Qing Dao Ren's face turn pale and his lips turn blue with anger.
"What are you saying, fellow Daoist? It's your skill to teach people that's truly admirable," Taiqing Daoist replied sarcastically, clearly indicating his displeasure.
Xuan Tian Dao Jun smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too kind. My disciple is young and ignorant and has offended you. Please forgive him. I apologize on behalf of my disciple." After saying that, he cupped his hands and bowed to Tai Qing Dao Ren.
Taiqing Daoist had no idea what Xuantian Daoist was up to. Seeing that the other party was being polite, he felt embarrassed to refuse, so he returned the courtesy, saying, "It's alright, fellow Daoist, you're too kind." Because he really didn't know what Xuantian Daoist wanted to do, Taiqing Daoist couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Yes, he was nervous. He raised his hand and cupped his hands, saying, "May I ask what brings you here, fellow Daoist?"
K Xuan Tian Dao Jun laughed and said, "Last night, I observed the celestial phenomena and saw that the Qin capital, Xianyang, was shrouded in purple aura, with the aura of the True Dragon Emperor surging upwards, as if the Purple Star Emperor was shining brightly. The Qin state is destined to prosper in the world and achieve the unification of the human race. Today, I observed the same thing again and saw that there were nine dragons in the purple aura, which further strengthened my judgment. However, I also discovered that there was a trace of black aura entwined within the nine dragons. According to my judgment, this is the work of evil spirits, which are hindering the unification of the human race. Therefore, I have come to help the Qin army, eliminate evil and uphold the order of heaven and earth."
His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, just like those Taoist priests of later generations. Well, they sounded more like charlatans. It seems that Xuan Tian has a lot of potential to be a charlatan, and he has become addicted to it several times. Now he is lying through his teeth.
Fifty-one points of Dao Yuan
Taiqing Daoist scoffed at Xuantian Daojun's words, saying they were even more charlatan-like than a charlatan's, although Taiqing Daoist didn't quite understand the term "charlatan."
"Daoist, you are mistaken. The Qi ruler was ordained by Heaven and the Jade Emperor to become the Human Emperor. He is the rightful ruler of Heaven and Earth. How could the Qin ruler, who was held hostage by the treacherous minister Li Si, possibly become the Human Emperor?" Taiqing Daoist retorted.
Xuan Tian smiled and said, "In that case, there's no need for us to argue anymore. Let's just have a match today, and then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong."
Master Taiqing narrowed his eyes and said, "That's how it should be."
Seeing that the two had clashed, Liao Zhen naturally withdrew from the arena and stood aside with Confucius and the others.
Xuan Tian (Xuan Tian Dao Jun, a name that sounds troublesome, so I'll use Xuan Tian) said to Tai Qing Dao Ren, "Fellow Daoist, please." He then slightly extended his hand to indicate that he should go first.
The Taoist Taiqing snorted coldly and unleashed a beam of Taiqing Immortal Light. Xuantian smiled and also waved his hand, releasing a beam of Xuanyuan Spiritual Light. The two met and vanished without a trace, a mere test, not to be taken seriously.
Seeing that the Taiqing Immortal Light was neutralized, the Taiqing Daoist stepped forward, stretched out his hands as if grasping something, and then struck at Xuantian. Instantly, the clouds and dark clouds dispersed, the sound of metal and stone rang out, and the wind and thunder roared. Dozens of Taiqing Divine Thunder bolts broke through the air and struck Xuantian.
As the Taiqing Divine Thunder approached, a flash of golden light appeared around Xuan Tian, blocking it. When the thunder dissipated, a gourd stood atop Xuan Tian's head—the Qiankun Gourd. This treasure had accumulated a great deal of merit and, after Xuan Tian had refined it for a long time, had become a powerful magic weapon, capable of both offense and defense.
Seeing that the Taiqing Divine Thunder had no effect, Xuantian laughed and said, "It is impolite not to retaliate." After saying that, he also unleashed a few divine thunders, but they were different from the Taiqing Divine Thunder. The Taiqing Divine Thunder was purple, created by Laozi by combining it with the Zixiao Divine Thunder, and its color was the color of the Zixiao Divine Thunder. However, the divine thunder that Xuantian unleashed was the authentic Dutian Divine Thunder, pure black, with a sense of destroying all things, directly approaching Laozi.
The Heavenly Thunder, unleashed by Xuan Tian, is far more powerful than the Taiqing Thunder used by the Taiqing Daoist. While the Taiqing Thunder is a sage's technique, it has lost its true essence. The Purple Heaven Thunder, though formidable, has never been fully mastered; it's a personal technique. This Purple Heaven Thunder, however, is used by Hong Jun. As mentioned before, techniques in the primordial world are copyrighted! The original is always superior to the pirated. The Heavenly Thunder, on the other hand, was used by Pangu. After Pangu's death, Xuan Tian directly inherited this technique; the copyright is reserved and cannot be altered.
Knowing the immense power of the Heavenly Thunder, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, Daoist Taiqing was well aware of it. A flash of light appeared above his head, revealing the Xuanhuang Pagoda. Xuanhuang Qi emanated from it, strands descending to protect Daoist Taiqing within. With the Xuanhuang Pagoda's protection, even the Heavenly Thunder could not harm him. However, how could Xuantian not know the Xuanhuang Pagoda's protective shell? The Heavenly Thunder exploded upon approaching the Xuanhuang Pagoda. The Heavenly Thunder was capable of splitting the heavens and earth, its power unparalleled. The resulting shockwave forced Daoist Taiqing, even with the Xuanhuang Pagoda's assistance, to take two steps back.
