Chapter 196: Shining Radiance
"Well done."
Yun Taihao seldom praises others, but this time he would like to express his sincere appreciation to Gao Xian.
Gao Xian lowered his eyes and head slightly, showing his respect for the Jindan Zhenren and also expressing a humble attitude.
Wang Chuan, Yuan Chongguang, and Yun Feiying all watched silently, no one spoke, but the three of them looked at Gao Xian with eyes full of shock, confusion, and awe.
Especially Yuan Chongguang and Wang Chuan, they had only heard that Gao Xian was powerful but had never seen him in person.
Today's battle almost scared Yuan Zhongguang to death. He originally thought that since they were both in the early stage of foundation building, how big of a gap could there be? He never expected that Huo Lingyun could completely defeat Yun Feiying, and Gao Xian could completely defeat Huo Lingyun, both in the early stage of foundation building. He was not as good as Yun Feiying...
Gao Xian could kill him with just a few flaming bombs! Wang Chuan was even more shocked than Yuan Chongguang. Huo Lianshan was a late-stage foundation-building cultivator, and his swordsmanship was much better than his.
If he went up instead, he would be chopped down by Huo Lianshan's Chiyang Sword before he could last more than twenty moves.
There is a difference of two spiritual orifices between the early stage of foundation building and the late stage of foundation building, and the gap in spiritual awareness and magic power is several times.
In Wang Chuan's two hundred years of life, he had never heard of a person in the early stage of foundation building defeating someone in the late stage of foundation building.
Today, he saw with his own eyes that Gao Xian's swordsmanship was even better than Huo Lianshan's. The Great Five Elements Sword Qi empowered the Green Lotus Sword, and with one sword he pierced through Huo Lianshan's protective Qi.
There is no conspiracy or trickery involved. If it happens again, Huo Lianshan will probably be killed by Gao Xian again.
Wang Chuan sighed deeply in his heart. He understood one thing deeply. From today on, in Lianyun Sect, only the Sect Master could suppress Gao Xian, no one else could!
At Nan Pingsong's funeral last time, Zhu Qinnan spoke harshly to them, making the relationship between the two sides very strained.
Wang Chuan originally wanted to find an opportunity to take control of these two people, but now he can't help but feel fortunate that he didn't do anything too extreme.
Thinking of this, Wang Chuan forced a smile on his old face. He took the initiative to move forward to Gao Xian and congratulated him repeatedly.
Gao Xian understood what Wang Chuan meant. He didn't like this man very much, but there was no need to make things difficult for Wang Chuan.
He exchanged a few polite words with Wang Chuan, and his attitude was quite gentle.
This made Wang Chuan feel relieved and even a little flattered. Gao Xian was really generous, forgiving and tolerant. He was a good person...
But he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Was he being too mean? Gao Xian was just being polite, and that was worthy of his happiness! Wang Chuan felt a little complicated, but it did not affect his attempts to get close to Gao Xian.
Yuan Chongguang suddenly figured it out, and he also kept talking with a smile on his face, complimenting Gao Xian whenever he could.
Yun Feiying stood silently aside, watching Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang flattering and servile, and she felt very uncomfortable.
The expressions of these two changed too quickly! Looking at Gao Xian again, he was still generous and cheerful, and was quite polite to Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang, without any pride or arrogance.
Yun Feiying suddenly thought of her teacher's evaluation of Gao Xian: this man looked gentle, but he was actually sinister and deep inside.
She originally thought that the teacher was exaggerating a bit, but today she understood something. If Gao Xian wasn't so scheming, how could he remain calm in the face of honor or disgrace?
Gao Xian sensed Yun Feiying's gaze, but he didn't care. At this moment, he only had Yun Taihao in his eyes, and it didn't matter what other people thought or did.
Neither Wang Chuan nor Yuan Chongguang was very good at flattering others, and they ran out of things to say after a few sentences.
Fortunately, people from Qingfeng Sect and Shaoyang Sect came on stage at this time.
Four sects competed, two by two, and finally the winner was decided. The rules of the competition were very simple.
Zheng Hongdao, who appeared on the stage of Shaoyang Sect this time, is quite famous and is also regarded as the seed of golden elixir by Shaoyang Sect.
His status is similar to Huo Lingyun, but not as high-profile as Huo Lingyun.
Taoist Master Zheng Hong has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is tall and wears a blue robe. He has a calm look in his eyes and looks simple and strong.
The Qingfeng Sect sent Li Feihuang to the stage. She was dressed in an extremely gorgeous scarlet robe and a golden phoenix hair crown on her head. With her extremely beautiful phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, she had a captivating charm just standing there.
Li Feihuang and Zheng Hongdao standing together looked like the queen and her sword-wielding guards.
"This Zheng Hongdao really looks like a potential cultivator..."
Yun Qiu Shui came over at some point and said with a smile.
Gao Xian nodded. Indeed, Zheng Hongdao gave people a more down-to-earth and stable feeling.
In comparison, Li Feihuang was a little too flamboyant and gorgeous. With her foundation-building cultivation, such a scene seemed a little exaggerated.
Yun Qiushui added: "However, the most important thing in cultivating the Tao is talent. Li Feihuang is a fire phoenix spirit, and her temperament is still a little bit drifting. Once she settles down to cultivate the Tao, her achievements will be much higher than Zheng Hongdao's in the future..."
Gao Xian was a little surprised: "Fellow Daoist thinks highly of Li Feihuang."
"Fire Phoenix Spirit Body, this is an extremely rare spiritual body for cultivation."
Yun Qiushui shook her head: "At the foundation-building stage, perhaps there is not much advantage. If she wants to condense a golden elixir, the worst is the middle third grade. If we want to reach this stage, we don't know how much effort we have to put in."
He said meaningfully: "Daoyou, don't underestimate Li Feihuang..."
Gao Xian felt that Yun Qiushui seemed to be reminding him of something, but what he said was vague and he didn't quite understand. This also fits his character as a nobleman. It would be boring if he said it too bluntly!
On the Feixian Stage, Li Feihuang activated the Wind and Fire Sutra, and a huge green wind blade appeared out of thin air, spinning and slashing towards Zheng Hongdao.
The green wind blade was six feet long, and its crescent-shaped blade flashed a dazzling edge.
The low humming sound emitted as it rotates shows how powerful and terrifying the magic power condensed in this green long sword is.
"The Wind and Fire Sutra is the most suitable secret technique for the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body. The Fierce Wind Blade is twice as powerful in Li Feihuang's hands..."
Yun Qiu Shui used his spiritual sense to convey a message to Gao Xian, helping him explain Li Feihuang's magic.
Gao Xian didn't say anything. He carefully watched all the changes in Li Feihuang's spells. By constantly switching modes through the Flower-Jiangling Mirror, he could see more details.
He didn't know what the Fire Phoenix Spirit was, but he could see that Li Feihuang was moving his wind and fire magic power smoothly and freely. He could naturally control the changes in his magic power with every breath, which was indeed exquisite.
Li Feihuang controlled the wind and fire powers like a fish playing in the water.
Although he controlled the magic power exquisitely, it was like a master swimmer swimming. Compared with Li Feihuang, he lacked the natural agility and ease.
Li Feihuang is indeed extraordinary, as Yun Qiu Shui could repeatedly emphasize this.
Zheng Hongdao on the opposite side drew his sword and activated Shaoyang Gangqi, and with one sword he broke the Liefeng Blade into pieces.
Li Feihuang made a seal with his hands, and ten fierce wind swords rotated and slashed towards Zheng Hongdao.
Zheng Hongdao held the sword steadily. He was an expert in swordsmanship and his sword was also of top-grade second grade.
Although the Fierce Wind Blade is ingenious, it is ultimately condensed from magic power and has a form but no substance.
Zheng Hongdao used the sword to break the virtual with the real, and he was able to easily break the Fierce Wind Blade.
The problem was that Li Feihuang was urging more and more Fierce Wind Blades to attack. In less than a few breaths, the Feixian Stage was filled with spinning and slashing Fierce Wind Blades.
The low whistling sounds of the swords seemed to be able to cut straight into the heart.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Most of the cultivators watching the battle were shocked. Such a powerful Fiery Wind Blade was much more impressive than a Fiery Blade that would only explode into streaks of fire and flames.
Yun Qiushui said to Gao Xian: "Li Feihuang has been provoked by you, she is going to be ruthless. The wind blade of the fierce wind blade is only the first level of change. When it turns into the blazing wind blade, the power will be doubled. Zheng Hongdao will not be able to withstand it..."
Just as Yun Qiu Shui had expected, the green wind blades suddenly turned red.
The second transformation of the Fierce Wind Blade was performed, making the Fierce Wind Blade more intense and sharp.
Zheng Hongdao had a hard time dealing with it, and when hundreds of red fierce wind swords exploded at the same time, Zheng Hongdao was immediately blasted out of the Feixiantai...
At the critical moment, Zheng Hongdao's body flashed with golden light, dissolving all the fierce wind swords gathered on his body.
Zheng Hongdao steadied himself in the air. He simply bowed to Li Feihuang and said, "You are great, my friend. I lost."
Li Feihuang nodded slightly in response. Zheng Hongdao was quite capable of taking her fierce wind sword without getting hurt.
Of course, she only used 50% of her strength.
Next, Li Feihuang defeated a person from Shaoyang Sect who was in the middle stage of foundation building.
Li Feihuang, who won two consecutive games, received more praise and gained a lot of fans.
After all, this is the territory of Qingfeng Sect, and most of the cultivators are from Qingfeng Sect.
They, the lower-level cultivators, had only heard of Li Feihuang's name. It was only when Li Feihuang took the stage that they had the courage to admire this beautiful lady.
Seeing that their sect's genius had defeated powerful enemies in succession and was extremely beautiful, these cultivators were naturally extremely excited.
Gao Xian is an outsider after all. No matter how powerful he is, what does it have to do with them?
In the third scene, Xu Qingyuan from Shaoyang Sect appeared. This female cultivator in the late foundation building stage looked very friendly.
Xu Qingyuan and Li Feihuang started to fight. Both of them seemed to be relatively restrained. Various spells were flying in the sky, and the scene was quite spectacular.
In fact, it is a battle of wits in the air, which is equivalent to two people fighting in street dance, but Thai pants are useless... This is Gao Xian's opinion, he thinks this battle is quite funny!
The many cultivators below the stage were watching in awe, their eyes wide open.
Gao Xian lost interest after watching for a while. Xu Qingyuan was obviously giving him a break. The two families must have discussed this beforehand.
Shaoyang Sect probably didn't want to compete for first place, so it did Qingfeng Sect a favor.
Unlike the Lianyun Sect and the Chiyan Sect, they don't play any tricks and just fight head-on.
Sure enough, the two people on the stage stopped fighting at the same time after fighting for a while.
Xu Qingyuan praised Li Feihuang highly, and Li Feihuang also expressed his respect for Xu Qingyuan.
Finally, Xu Qingyuan said that this battle was a draw. She also publicly stated that she would give the young people a chance, and this time their Shaoyang Sect would withdraw from the discussion.
Many Qingfeng Sect practitioners below the stage were very excited. Li Feihuang and the famous Xu Qingyuan ended up in a draw, which showed Li Feihuang's ability.
Everyone cheered loudly and it was very lively.
Li Feihuang, standing on the Feixian Terrace, had a calm expression on his face, but was quite happy in his heart.
Her emotions, which had been repeatedly hit by Yun Qiu Shui, were also greatly comforted by the cheers of the crowd.
Li Feihuang turned his eyes and found Yun Qiu Shui, and also saw Gao Xian beside Yun Qiu Shui.
Compared to Yun Qiu Shui's almost enchanting handsomeness, Gao Xian has a taller and more slender figure, with more profound facial features. He is dressed in flowing green, standing next to Yun Qiu Shui, who is dressed in white like clouds. He is less romantic but more solemn.
In terms of grace and demeanor, he is equally good as Yun Qiu Shui.
Li Feihuang thought to herself, it's a pity that she was born as a casual cultivator. Even if she has some talent, how far can she go on the road of cultivation? Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated. She said to Gao Xian loudly, "Fellow Daoist Gao has great magic and swordsmanship. I would like to take this opportunity to ask you for some advice. Please teach me..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators below the stage couldn't help but look at Gao Xian.
Gao Xian smiled, a platinum halo flickered behind him, and he had already floated to the Feixian Terrace.
He clasped his hands and said, "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I am eager to learn from you. Please!"
