Of course, no one wants to leave someone else's world and fight with them. That would be asking for trouble. After all, no matter how powerful a saint is, they are still subject to suppression in other people's worlds. Saints don't do things that are just asking for trouble. Saints live too long and may be bored, but they are not idiots.
The Buddhist concept of a "Buddha-in-the-Palm" is similar to the real world, but its drawback is that you have to bring someone inside first. Of course, the "Buddha-in-the-Palm" does have its advantages. If someone enters without a powerful magic weapon or strong physical strength, they will basically be trapped inside, and in severe cases, they will die.
It must be said that Xuan Tian's innovative ideas, coupled with Zhen's true talent, allowed Zhen to create the concept of a domain after Xuan Tian proposed it. According to Xuan Tian at the time, he only shared his views on domains with Zhen. Domains were something that the Western God World possessed first. At that time, the Primordial Continent was very large. During the war between the three races, hundreds of dragons and phoenixes self-destructed in the Western World. The power was no less than that of the Primordial Witch-Demon War. As a result, even Jieyin and Zhunti, who came from the West, abandoned that place and never thought of developing there.
After the primordial chaos shattered, that place also broke apart. After millions of years of evolution, the geographical environment improved somewhat. At some point, some deities began to emerge there. These deities were different from the gods in the Eastern Heavenly Court. Those deities possessed divine status, like the primordial spirit of immortals or the relics of Buddhas, yet they were somewhat different. Those divine statuses themselves contained certain laws. The Western world of divine statuses was chaotic, and the laws within those divine statuses were just like that—very chaotic. After possessing a divine status, each god could comprehend the application of the laws, spreading the power of the laws carried by the divine status into a domain. This is the origin of domains; simply put, it is the application of a certain law.
The world of Eastern immortals and Buddhas is different. No one has such laws to use. Those who can use the power of laws are all great supernatural beings, and even then, they are only borrowing them. Only saints can truly control the laws.
Xuan Tian's idea of the Sword Domain stemmed from reading novels. Some novels mentioned things like Sword Tombs, where the sky was filled with swords, which Xuan Tian found quite cool. However, without the Western God World Domain as a model, Xuan Tian couldn't figure out how to use it. Fortunately, the foolish Liao Zhen, who was influenced by Xuan Tian at the time, remembered it. Later, after the battle with the Buddhist sect, he suddenly thought of the divine power of the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm. Although he was not a Buddhist disciple, Xuan Tian's Buddhist knowledge was quite good. After all, he had discussed Buddhist teachings with Jieyin and Zhunti in the past. After some deduction, the Sword Domain finally took shape.
Now, using it once, the opponent is an incarnation of a saint; I'm truly worried.
Enough of the digressions, let's get down to business. Having fought the battle of truth, the Taiqing Daoist has realized that this sword domain is indeed powerful, seemingly flawless from every angle. Unless a sage were to break it, it truly couldn't. However, unfortunately, while the Taiqing Daoist isn't a sage, he possesses the vision of one. In a sense, he is a part of Laozi—an incomplete sage, lacking the immortality and world-destroying power of a true sage. His only asset is the sage's near-Daoist aura.
The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. All things in the universe are evolved by the Tao, and they inherently bear the traces of the Tao's evolution. Those who cultivate the Tao cultivate their hearts, which means using their own hearts to understand the heart of Heaven, constantly aligning themselves with the Tao, in order to integrate themselves into the Tao. In this process, they rely on themselves to discover and comprehend the traces of the Tao in all things in the universe, so as to improve their own cultivation.
Sages undoubtedly excelled at this. Although Taiqing Daoist was not a sage, he possessed a vision close to that of a sage. No matter how good Liaozhen's sword domain was, or how well he concealed it, it would still leave traces of the Dao. It wasn't that Liaozhen was exceptionally talented or had reached a certain level, but rather that since all things in heaven and earth evolved from the Dao, their movements would naturally carry traces of the Dao. Even a mortal, whether eating, drinking, sleeping, or engaging in sexual activity, would leave traces of the Dao.
Fifty Xuantian Daojun
In terms of his status and cultivation, Taiqing Daoren is undoubtedly the best person to break through this sword domain. He not only has the vision of a saint, but also some of the cultivation of a saint. Unlike a quasi-saint, a saint with even a fraction of his power is stronger than a quasi-saint with ten fractions of his power.
Liao Zhen didn't understand what Taiqing Daoist was going to do, but he was very clear that if he attacked without permission, he might leave some clues for Taiqing Daoist to discover. In fact, he was also very afraid, after all, he had secretly witnessed the power of the sage and had a certain degree of fear of the sage.
The Sword Domain remained calm. Apart from his previous attack, Daoist Taiqing had not made any other moves. He simply stood there, concentrating and waiting. He appeared calm, but Liaozhen knew that Daoist Taiqing was like a tiger in a daze. If he attacked rashly, he would likely attract the killer.
Suddenly, Daoist Taiqing pointed to a corner of the sword domain, and vital energy burst forth from his fingertip, exploding after shooting into that spot. The sword domain then began to operate, and the power of the vital energy dispersed. However, Daoist Taiqing changed his strategy this time. Seeing the sword domain operating, he immediately attacked another corner. It seemed to be quite powerful, but in reality, it had no effect on the operation of the entire sword domain. Liaozhen was also somewhat puzzled, but he immediately understood, only a little too late.
Seeing Taiqing Daoist attacking, the sword domain naturally activated. Suddenly, a smile appeared on Taiqing Daoist's lips. His figure flickered and he suddenly appeared where Zhen was hiding. With a wave of his sleeve, Yuan Qi burst out and blocked Zhen's retreat, leaving only Taiqing Daoist as an exit. Zhen had no time to be surprised as he saw Taiqing Daoist attacking and had no choice but to reveal himself and fight.
