Everyone could see that after that brief phenomenon of day and night alternation, a large amount of river water within a hundred meters around the huge body of Mingquan Turtle was evaporated by the scorching sun.
The surging river water around it could not even fill that scorching hot space. Whenever river water poured in, it quickly evaporated, leaving the center of the river into a small waterless abyss.
On the body of Mingquan Turtle, all vitality, thoughts, and soul fluctuations had been completely cut off. Even the Qi that had been lingering around had dissipated into nothingness under the flushing of Zhu Mingchengye.
All the flesh and blood in the seemingly huge body was burned, leaving only the solid scales and the hideous huge turtle shell.
In front of Mingquan Guixiang, the golden Dragon Palace edict was still shining with golden light, but compared to the previous dazzling brilliance that controlled the Jishui River, the Dragon Palace edict at this moment seemed much dimmer.
This decree from the Jidu Dragon Palace, which holds the authority over the waters, almost collapsed under the sword of Zhu Ming Chengye, which was a combination of sword and qi.
This is different from the Great Sun True Flame Sword in the Yunfu Mountains. At that time, it was in the depths of the Yunfu Mountains. Although the strange phenomenon was watched by the monsters, no one could go to the scene to feel the power of the Great Sun True Flame.
Although the Great Sun True Flame Sword is more powerful, its impact can only be exerted on the Yunfu Mountains.
At this Dao Discussion Conference, Shen Yuan's sword strike was in full view of everyone.
As day and night changed, a sword was used to kill the great demon that was blessed by the power of the Ji River. Such an amazing sword move completely shocked everyone.
This is a sword that transcends the rules of the world, and this is a sword that transcends the constraints of the world.
"Mingquan Guixiang, just died like this?"
"This is the great demon who left his mark in the Jidu waters three thousand years ago!"
"Even the decree of the Jidu Dragon Palace could not protect Mingquan Guixiang on the Ji River. How powerful is that sword?"
"This is definitely not a level that can be displayed in this world. To strike such a powerful sword, one must endure the backlash of the rules of this world!"
"Who is that fairy's master?"
On the platform, the arrival of the bright sun melted the eternal glacier, and the six Qi training realm geniuses who were frozen in it by the innate Qi captured and broke free from it one after another.
Although all life was frozen by the cold weather at the end of the year, they could still sense what was happening in the outside world.
Sun Lanyu's act of controlling the green dragon made them angry, Mingquan's turtle appearance made them terrified, and the last sword strike also made them feel deeply shocked.
Especially Baihu and Xuanwu, two of the four great envoys of the Imperial Observatory, looked at each other in bewilderment.
As the most powerful officials in the Imperial Observatory, they knew much more information than ordinary members of the Imperial Observatory.
They did not know the detailed information about the Supreme Taoist, but they vaguely knew that an existence that made the entire Daxia court worried was walking in the world.
The sword was too extraordinary and too stunning, and its power was like the bright sun, which reminded them of the sun that once appeared in the Yunfu Mountains.
Suddenly, the White Tiger Envoy's mind flashed through the memory that the Imperial Observatory had asked him to go to Yunfu Market to deliver a message.
He was only responsible for delivering messages, and he was not aware of information such as the coffin under the Taiyin Jade Pillar and the storage ring.
But there is a connection between Gong Buyu and Rong Cheng Dayutian, and the mysterious master is vaguely related to what happened in Yunfu Market.
"Could it be that that person has also come to this Dao Discussion Conference? And he is the master of Gong Buyu?"
This thought suddenly flashed through the White Tiger's mind, and everything seemed to become clearer.
Thinking of this, the White Tiger felt his heart tremble and his face turned pale.
You have to know that he is a person whom even the Director of the Imperial Observatory and Emperor Xia attach great importance to. Anything concerning him is the top priority of the entire Imperial Observatory.
When he thought about the fight between himself and that disciple and how he was going to use the magic treasure to kill him in the process, the White Tiger Envoy felt a chill on his back.
As one of the four envoys of the Imperial Observatory, he was indeed a high-ranking official in the court. But you should know that just a few days ago, a Taichang, the head of the Nine Ministers, and a prince who had the potential to compete for the throne died because of rumors that Mars was guarding the heart.
These two were far more important than him, but they were still executed just because the rumor about Mars guarding the heart involved that big shot. The White Tiger Envoy did not think that he would be an exception.
White Tiger was in a mess, and was even somewhat glad that he could not defeat Gong Buyu, nor did he provoke him by saying anything out of line.
Compared to the chaotic thoughts in the White Tiger Envoy's mind, the other four great Cave Heavenly Prodigies and the Black Tortoise Envoy were much calmer.
After tidying themselves up from their disheveled appearance, everyone bowed together towards the Huiming Sword hanging high in the sky.
"Thank you for your help, senior!"
Except for Mo Li from Laojun Mountain, the other four people did not know the identity of Gong Buyu's master. They were just shocked by the power of this sword.
Mo Li already knew that the Supreme Taoist was here. Compared with the identity and status of the Supreme Taoist, the power of the sword itself and the changing celestial phenomena were secondary.
In his opinion, it was easy for the Supreme Taoist to wipe out a great demon in the state of transformation, and the backlash of the rules was of no concern to him.
The supreme being who can reach this step has many ways to avoid the backlash from heaven and earth, just like taking action in the Yunfu Mountains.
It is precisely because it is beyond ordinary understanding that he is given the title of the Supreme Son of Tao.
Gong Buyu also looked at the Huiming Sword with reverence.
As the person closest to the Huiming Sword, Gong Buyu could clearly sense that the unity of sword and qi displayed by his master was not a force that could break through the limits of the present world.
Zhu Mingchengye's power of controlling the sword with his primordial spirit and integrating sword and qi is essentially that he will not be affected by the backlash of the rules when he is below the level of spiritual transformation.
But it was the master's swordsmanship that turned everything from decay into magic, and he easily killed the great demon that was blessed by the power of the Ji River.
This made her once again feel the unfathomable realm of her master's swordsmanship.
At the same time, Gong Buyu also became increasingly aware of how big the gap was between himself and his invincible master who dominated his peers.
"Thank you for your guidance, Master!"
The girl was convinced.
Just as everyone was performing worship rituals, Shen Yuan, who was standing in the Xuanhuang Tower, closed his eyes slightly and entered a strange state.
The moment he entered the state of unity of sword and qi and killed the Mingquan turtle, it was as if he had entered an incomparably wonderful realm.
The Qi of Heaven and Earth, Zhu Ming Cheng Ye, was perfectly carried by the Hui Ming Sword. Its day and night alternation rules were combined with the Zhu Long inscription on the Hui Ming Sword, pushing this sword to its extreme. Even after the Ming Quan Gui Xiang was killed with one sword, the vision caused by the sword, the arc drawn by the gap, and the details of the unity of the sword and Qi were all evolving and showing in the Lingtai.
Zhu Ming Chengye, the Qi of heaven and earth, was like a whetstone, constantly sharpening Shen Yuan's Yin spirit in controlling the sword.
Every evolution of the rules of the alternation of day and night was constantly guiding Shen Yuan's Yin Shen to integrate into the swordsmanship. The small sword of the seed of magical power floating in the center of the spirit platform dimmed rapidly in the process.
A large amount of sword-fighting truths continued to flow into Shen Yuan's mind along with the nearly perfect unity of sword and energy. The mysteries that were difficult to understand in the past now came one after another, and inspiration continued to emerge.
As the seed of the Earthly Evil Sword Art's magical power completely dimmed and turned into a small gray sword, Shen Yuan finally entered the second realm of the Earthly Evil Sword Art.
As he successfully entered the second realm of swordsmanship, Shen Yuan immediately felt that his understanding of the unity of sword and Qi had deepened. Not only the Qi of heaven and earth, but even other things could be vaguely integrated into the sword path.
When Shen Yuan thought of this, the first thing he thought of was the Hu Tian magical power.
As his thoughts flowed, a sword light shot out from Shen Yuan's fingertips.
Hu Tian's magical power combined with the sword light flew out three meters and then dissipated, leaving behind a series of criss-crossing cracks in the void.
Xue Mingzhi, who was standing by, almost popped his eyes out when he saw this scene.
Shattering the void is a height that only the True Lord Lianxu can achieve.
Especially in today's world where the spiritual energy tide has not yet fully recovered and the rules of heaven and earth are not perfect, breaking the void has become an unattainable legend.
But now Shen Yuan only needed to flick his finger and the sword light could easily cut through the void, which made Xue Mingzhi horrified.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
Shen Yuan glanced at the cracks left in the void. That was the product of Shen Yuan's first combination of the Disha sword technique and the Hutian magical power.
Although it looks powerful, due to the limitations of Hu Tian's magical powers, the range of its attack is too small, and its deterrent significance is far greater than its practical significance.
Shen Yuan said calmly with a wave of his sleeves and the Hutian magical power easily smoothed out the cracks in space.
"It was just a whim."
For Shen Yuan, it was indeed a small trick he used on a whim, and at present it did not have any actual offensive capability.
The method of smoothing out the space cracks with ease made Xue Mingzhi, who had been in shock, a little numb.
Only after he had completely consolidated his Disha sword skills and entered the realm of mastery did Shen Yuan become interested in looking at the entire venue of the conference.
On the huge platform on the river, seven geniuses bowed to the Huiming Sword together. Not far away, the huge corpse of the Mingquan Turtle slowly sank into the river. The surging river finally poured into the abyss after the scorching heat subsided.
In the Jishui River, a large number of aquatic creatures that had originally surrounded the entire Xuanhuang Tower were now standing there in a daze.
The appearance of Mingquan Guixiang, a great demon who had transformed into a god, undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Jishui water tribe, but with Mingquan Guixiang being killed by a single sword, all morale completely collapsed.
There is no doubt that in front of the strongest man who can kill Mingquan Turtle with one sword, no matter how many of these small aquatic creatures who have refined their essence into energy come, it will be of no avail.
The Qi Transformation Realm demons, who were the leaders among the numerous water creatures, looked at each other, and then roared almost in unison.
"run!"
Although many aquatic creatures have inherited memories about the Jidu Dragon Palace, under such disadvantages, no one would be willing to risk their lives for a Dragon Palace that has never been actually touched in the inherited memories.
The aquatic creatures that were about to besiege Xuanhuang Tower fled in all directions and dived into the surging river tide.
The aquatic creatures that had been aggressively besieging Xuanhuang Tower a few minutes ago ended up in such a ridiculous manner, causing laughter from all the major sects. Some practitioners even wanted to pick up swords and leave Xuanhuang Tower to kill a few of the aquatic creatures.
However, being in the Jishui River, even a cultivator at the Qi Transformation Realm would find it difficult to capture a water creature underwater, so everyone had no choice but to give up.
In the chaos, Sun Lanyu looked up stiffly at the rusty ancient bronze sword in the air, his eyes full of confusion.
In this battle, the biggest loser was undoubtedly Mingquan Guixiang who lost his life, but the second person must be Sun Lanyu.
He took great pains to borrow a powerful demon from the Jidu Dragon King, but he died before he could even reach the door of Xuanhuang Tower.
For this battle, he sacrificed the Sun family and his own future, but lost miserably.
The surrounding aquatic creatures dispersed like waves, and no one cared about Sun Lanyu, who had previously ruled the aquatic creatures in the name of Jidu Dragon Palace.
Even Mingquan Guixiang, the great demon who walked out of the Jidu Dragon Palace paradise, has fallen. Who would be willing to care about a mere failed agent?
During the entire conference, before the various forces even took the stage, the confrontation at the highest level had already been settled.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan opened the system interface and saw that the task of the sect competition was clearly marked as completed.
System: The host successfully defeated Mingquan Guixiang (the God of Transformation), and without any challenge from later comers, he successfully won the first place in the sect competition!
Gong Buyu swept through the six Qi-training geniuses. Mingquan Guixiang appeared in the conference in the name of Jishui Sect to intimidate Gong Buyu, but was eventually killed by Shen Yuan with a single sword.
Shen Yuan won the championship of the Taoism Conference in a rather subtle manner, even though Shen Yuan had never stepped onto the platform of the Taoism Conference from beginning to end.
And in the eyes of most people, Shen Yuan's killing of Mingquan Guixiang in the end would not be regarded as part of the competition in the Taoism Conference.
Because this has obviously exceeded the scope of the conference and is far higher than the level that the conference can cover.
However, in the eyes of the artificial intelligence system, there are not so many judgments. As long as one meets the requirements of being a sect disciple and complies with the process of the sect competition, it can be counted as part of the task.
If the artificial intelligence system could really tell the difference, it would not have forced Shen Yuan to raise his sect title to the level of founder.
As Shen Yuan successfully won the first place, the main task interface also began to change.
System: Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission, Sect Competition. Reward: "Taixu Spirit Refining Method"
After this string of fonts popped up, the system interface suddenly began to shake and large amounts of garbled characters appeared. Shen Yuan frowned at the situation.
After several minutes, clear characters reappeared in front of Shen Yuan.
System: After testing, the host participated in the sect competition this time, which included four sects with thirty-six small caves, and twenty-eight sects with seventy-two blessed lands. The person with the highest cultivation among the participants reached the state of transformation.
This sect competition was re-determined as a martial arts contest among all sects, and its level was higher than the normal sect competition. The host won the championship and won glory for the sect.
Reward: Tianyuan Secret Order!
