Lei Ting spoke recklessly, not giving any face to Xuanming Tianzun at all.

Xuan Ming Tian Zun smiled and didn't care. Although Lei Ting was a spirit, she was also his close friend. Over the past few dozen calamities, he had repeatedly borrowed Lei Ting's power to survive the calamities.

It's just a little joke, nothing at all.

In order to help him, Lei Ting suffered great disasters and her soul was shattered many times. For this reason, she was forced to practice the "Liuhe Changchun Sutra".

The cycle of birth and aging continues for three thousand years to maintain the spirit and soul.

Although this secret method is good, it has a huge problem, which is that it will cause the practitioner's spiritual state to constantly change. For practitioners, this is actually a taboo.

Just like his disciple Xuan Yang, who also practiced the "Liuhe Changchun Sutra". However, Xuan Yang's cultivation was too low and his cultivation level was not high enough, so he could only reincarnate once every three hundred years.

Lei Ting and Xuan Yang's cultivation was a shortcut, and the constant changes in their spiritual states caused them to have changeable emotions. Lei Ting's casualness and Xuan Yang's laziness were both due to their nature and the reason for their cultivation.

Xuanming Tianzun didn't mind at all. Everyone around him was shocked, but they hid their emotions very well and didn't dare to show any of it.

The crowd did not think Lei Ting was presumptuous, but was shocked by Gao Xian's resoluteness and courage. Facing the eighth-level Heavenly Lord, his own ancestor, Gao Xian still did not give in! The crowd was puzzled as to why Gao Xian was so tough. Taking a step back would obviously make everyone happy.

As far as they knew, Gao Xian was actually a man of deep character and great wisdom, and not the kind of arrogant and conceited person. This was how he could dominate the world for three thousand years.

Gao Xian is a person who would never go against Xuan Ming Tian Zun just for a mere false reputation.

Jiuyin, Tianzhu, Huikong, and Changzhen, the Dao masters, could not guess Gao Xian's intentions, nor could they restrain him. No matter how much they hoped for a peaceful ending, they could not change Gao Xian's decision.

There is no doubt that no matter who wins or loses, this battle will inevitably change the situation in Jiuzhou.

Among the several Dao Zuns, only Dao Hong understood Gao Xian's thoughts. Gao Xian did not want to bow to Dong Ji, and his original intention was probably that he did not want to bow to Xuan Ming Tian Zun.

Gao Xian made his refusal clear, that is, he would not listen to anyone's orders, even Xuan Ming Tian Zun.

In other words, no one can get their hands on Jiuzhou.

Maybe Xuanming Tianzun was just caring for his juniors, but admitting his mistakes in public would damage Gao Xian's prestige. Other Dao Zuns would also tacitly accept Gao Xian as Xuanming Tianzun's disciple.

After that, what else could Gao Xian do to resist the order from Xuanming Zun? There was a delicate question of status here.

Dao Hong Dao Zun understood this very point, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he had nothing to say.

No matter how much respect the great men of today have for him, they would never listen to him on such an important matter.

His rash attempt to persuade her only ruined his friendship with Gao Xian.

Regardless of what the people of Jiuzhou thought, Xuanming Tianzun showed no concern for Gao Xian's rejection, and even praised him with a look of relief: "With such a strong spirit, it's no wonder that he can protect Jiuzhou without losing an inch of land. He is truly a hero."

Gao Xian bowed and said modestly: "I am ashamed to accept your praise, Lord."

Xuan Ming Tian Zun said to everyone, "Let's go in and pay our respects to Senior Jin."

Everyone bowed respectfully in response.

The Taiyi Palace was right above. Even a powerful person like Xuanming Tianzun could not cast magic here. He just walked slowly up the steps and entered the Taiyi Palace.

Jiuzhou Ding was high on the platform, with deep and indifferent blue-gold eyes, without any emotion, nor any words or actions. Just like a majestic statue.

"Xuanming greets the senior." Xuanming Tianzun bowed his head and saluted.

Everyone followed suit and saluted.

Jiuzhou Ding nodded slightly as a polite response.

Gao Xian has known Jiuzhou Ding for many years, but this is the first time he has seen Uncle Jiu make a polite response.

From this point of view, the eighth level is indeed extraordinary.

Xuan Ming Tian Zun said: "Senior, I brought Dong Ji to fulfill the promise made two hundred years ago."

“Okay.” Jiuzhou Ding didn’t say much. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a spiritual light magic circle appeared in the center of the empty hall. The center of the magic circle was deep and empty, which was the Xuanhuang Underground Palace.

Jiuzhou Ding said: "This is the Xuanhuang Underground Palace. Both sides will fight with all their strength and use any means until one side dies."

Gao Xian and Dong Ji were swept by Jiuzhou Ding's deep and indifferent gaze. They were both startled and responded in unison: "Understood."

Dongji Tianjun looked at Xuanming Tianzun. The duel was about to start, and Tianzun must have something to say.

Gao Xian didn't care what Tianzun said, but he still had to have basic courtesy.

After all, this person is the founder of his sect. He must respect the other party in legal terms.

Xuanming Tianzun said to Gao Xian and Dong Ji in a serious tone: "Love, hate, wealth, power, change with the heart and move with the situation, all these are just passing clouds. Only life and death are the ultimate way of heaven and earth, which cannot be changed or controlled.

"Today, the two of you have decided who is right and who is wrong by fighting for life and death, which fully demonstrates the true qualities of our generation of cultivators. It is also a pleasure."

Dongji Tianjun and Gaoxian both accepted the instruction in person.

The rest of the people all looked solemn. Xuan Ming Tian Zun said it lightly, but today a seventh-rank Heavenly Monarch must die here. The weight of this matter weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

Xuan Ming Tian Zun said to Lei Ting again: "Daoyou, it's not easy to overshadow the main event. Just use thunder magic."

He smiled as he spoke: "I am a Heavenly Lord after all, I can't be too shameless and make people laugh at me."

Lei Ting snorted in agreement. She couldn't refute Xuan Ming Tian Zun in front of Jiu Zhou Ding.

There is no need to worry about joking in front of a group of minor cultivators. Joking in front of the Jiuzhou Ding is not only disrespectful to the Jiuzhou Ding, but also disrespectful to Xuanming Tianzun.

Dongji Tianjun didn't care about it. Even if there were some restrictions, Lei Ting was also an eighth-level spirit weapon. What a divine power. With this person's protection, he was already invincible.

Even without Lei Ting's help, he felt that he could easily defeat Gao Xian after practicing for 50,000 years.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Dongji Tianjun was the first to wave his sleeves and enter the teleportation array in the center of the hall.

Gao Xian was not in a hurry to go in. He had been in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace for thirty years and was very familiar with it. In this regard, he actually had the advantage of geographical location.

He glanced at Qiniang, Yun Qingxuan, Zhizhen and other women. Qiniang was steady, Qingxuan was calm, and Zhizhen was composed. Other women such as Yin Jiuli and Xiao Jinse all had flashing eyes and complicated expressions, and they were obviously very worried about this battle.

It is at this important moment that the true nature of people can be seen.

Qi Niang's calmness is due to her determination to stick with life and death, so she is fearless of everything. Qing Xuan's calmness is due to her extraordinary mind and she will not worry unnecessarily.

Zhizhen was calm, but he had extraordinary confidence in him. Zhizhen had the highest level of cultivation and the strongest talent. Zhizhen understood his supernatural powers the best, and also knew his character.

It is precisely because of this that Zhizhen has almost blind confidence in him and believes that he will win.

As for the other women, including Xuan Yang, Dao Hong, Wu Ji and other Dao Masters, some of them were not strong enough in character, or some had doubts about him, and it was inevitable that they had various emotions.

Gao Xian actually thought that he might be defeated and killed this time. Although he was 99% sure, there was still a slight risk.

At this time, he should actually say something.

He changed his mind and realized that there was no need for him to say more to those who understood him, and there was no need for him to say more to those who didn't understand him either.

Gao Xian smiled at everyone and said, "It's a rare occasion for all of you to gather here today. I'll treat you to a drink later."

Xuan Yang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself. Wuji Jianzun and Daohong both nodded slightly.

As for the other Dao Masters, their expressions changed slightly but no one responded to Gao Xian.

Xuanming Tianzun, on the other hand, smiled with approval. No matter what, Gao Xian's confidence and composure when facing life and death were indeed extraordinary. In terms of bearing and demeanor, he was a hundred times better than Dongji.

After Gao Xian floated into the teleportation array, Lei Ting slowly stepped into the Xuanhuang Underground Palace.

The teleportation array turned into a huge eight-sided water mirror, reflecting Dong Ji, Gao Xian and Lei Ting in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace.

The expressions of everyone in Jiuzhou became more solemn, and the battle finally began.

Their levels were one level lower than Gao Xian and Dong Ji. Fortunately, they were in Taiyi Palace, so they could see the entire battle through the water mirror.

The sage in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace is actually tens of thousands of miles away from Dongji.

Gao Xian was not in a hurry to take action. At this moment, he was looking inward with his spiritual consciousness at the Mirror of Wind and Moon. Before the battle, he was also used to checking his own condition through the Mirror of Wind and Moon.

After thirty years of killing in the Xuanhuang Underground Palace, Pojun Tiansha Sword reached the master's level of perfection.

A few years ago, through the addition of human spiritual light, Hunyuan Tianlun was also promoted to the master's perfect realm.

Gao Xian confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his condition. He smiled slightly and said to Dongji Tianjun who was tens of thousands of miles away: "Daoyou, please."

Dongji Tianjun didn't say anything, but flicked his long sleeves to send out a pair of three-foot flying swords. The next moment, one black and one red flying sword had cut through the void and slashed in front of Gao Xian...
