Tai Ning was such a smart person, but she didn't understand Gao Xian's meaning for a moment. Was this man trying to steal her Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror? Did he not want the Great Five Elements Divine Light?
Gao Xian knew that this matter was a bit complicated, so he explained it to Tai Ning considerately.
"If I win first place, I will get the Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror. You will never have the chance to get this artifact in your lifetime."
"So, you would rather not have the Great Five Elements Divine Light than ruin my good deeds and hurt me both?" Tai Ning was speechless. She thought Gao Xian was a smart man, but she didn't expect him to be a lunatic! "Only you will be hurt, and I won't be in any trouble." Gao Xian didn't explain much. Anyway, he had said what he needed to say, so it didn't matter if the other party didn't believe it.
Tai Ning was silent for a moment and then said, "You should get first place first."
She consulted with Gao Xian in advance mainly to prevent accidents, not because she thought she was inferior to Gao Xian. Gao Xian actually threatened her in return, which was really arrogant.
Gao Xian didn't expect Tai Ning to surrender with just a few words. He said this more to tease her. After all, he didn't feel very comfortable being threatened by a woman.
The Great Five Elements Divine Light was so important that he would never choose the Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror just for the sake of Taining Dou Qi. However, among the earth-level tasks he had seen, there was one that he could definitely complete.
After solving the problem of the Great Five Elements Divine Light, he would go to complete the task and get the Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror. What could this little woman Tai Ning use to fight him!
Of course, there is no need to explain these calculations. We are all smart people, the rules are there, and everyone knows how to play.
The key is whether you have the ability! Tai Ning still couldn't figure out Gao Xian's routine, and she felt a little uneasy. Gao Xian was famous, and no matter what his character was, no one had ever said that he was incompetent.
It is said that no one who made an enemy of him had a good ending. Not to mention that he killed three Yuanying Zhenjun when he was in the Jindan realm. How majestic and imposing he was.
If not for this, she would not have resorted to such means to threaten Gao Xian.
Things had gotten to this point, and Tai Ning was a bit troubled. If Gao Xian really wanted to take the Ten Direction True King Heavenly Sound Mirror without caring about anything, it would be a huge trouble.
The problem was that Gao Xian's conditions were too outrageous. Not only did he want the Great Five Elements Hunyuan Sutra, he also wanted the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Sword. This sword would cost at least 4,000 top-grade spirit stones. How could she have so much money?
Moreover, Gao Xian's condition was not to exchange these things for the Ten Directions True King Heavenly Sound Mirror, but only to promise her not to touch this artifact. This is even more hateful! Tai Yuan noticed that Tai Ning's eyes were changing and he could see that she was not in a good mood. He asked with concern: "Why, what did Gao Xian say?"
Tai Ning shook her head slightly. It was not convenient for her to tell Tai Yuan about her relationship with Gao Xian. She thought for a moment and said, "This man is said to be a master of both magic and swordsmanship. It is better not to attack him forcefully when fighting him."
The rules of the Tianwu Arena this time are very simple. Each duel is given half an hour. If there is no winner in half an hour, both parties will be eliminated. This is also to prevent both parties from responding passively.
According to this rule, as long as one party can delay for half an hour, they can drag the other party to elimination. Tai Ning actually wanted Tai Yuan to do this.
After all, Taiyuan's swordsmanship has the ability to combine his body and sword. Tianwutai is a huge circular space with a diameter of 20 miles, which is large enough. With the ability to combine his body and sword, it shouldn't be difficult for Taiyuan to dodge Gaoxian's spells.
However, Tai Ning knew that Tai Yuan was arrogant and proud. With so many Jin Dan and Yuan Ying watching outside, how could he avoid the battle? She could only tactfully persuade Tai Yuan to choose a reasonable fighting method and not to foolishly challenge Gao Xian to a head-on fight.
Tai Yuan understood Tai Ning's words. He raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "As sword cultivators, we would rather break than bend. It is one thing that I cannot beat Gao Xian, but I cannot be afraid of him.
"Besides, Gao Xian's great reputation is just right for testing the sword. If we kill this man with our sword, we will become famous!"
Tai Yuan was full of fighting spirit for this battle. Everyone else was optimistic about Gao Xian, but he disagreed. He had practiced swordsmanship for three hundred years, and in his hand was his natal sword, Tai Yuan, which was naturally compatible with his fate, so his teacher gave him the Taoist name Tai Yuan.
Today, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he wants to step on Gao Xian to become famous, and also let all the Taoist masters in the sect see his potential and talent.
In such an important battle, Tai Yuan would naturally not listen to Tai Ning's command. He liked Tai Ning, but he was not Tai Ning's slave!
When Tai Ning saw the divine light shining in Tai Yuan's eyes and his increasingly angry state, she knew that Tai Yuan would not listen to her. She could only sigh secretly.
“Dangdangdang…”
Zhenye arrived at the top of Tianwutai without knowing when. He sat on a long couch made of clouds, with a small jade chime hanging next to him. Zhenye flicked the jade chime with his fingers, and the jade chime emitted a long and clear sound that echoed in all directions.
The clear sound of the chime suppressed all other noises and could even penetrate the depths of one's soul. For a moment, the only sound in the world was the clear sound of the jade chime.
Everyone knew the time was up, and their expressions straightened up. Although Zhenye looked a bit sloppy and casual, it didn't mean that others could be careless and disrespectful in front of him.
Zhenye looked around, and many of the cultivators around him lowered their eyes to show respect. He then raised his voice with satisfaction and said, "The first battle is between Gao Xian and Tai Yuan, and the time limit is half an hour. If the time limit is exceeded, both sides will be eliminated. If one side voluntarily admits defeat or is sent out of the Taixu Zhoutian Huankong Array, the battle will end..."
Gao Xian nodded to Qingle and Qingqing, then stepped into the Tianwu Stage.
His cultivation was now strong, and he activated the Taiji Mysterious Light Formless Divine Robe. This spell of "The World is Close at Hand" was actually the formless transformation of the Divine Robe.
At the Nascent Soul stage, it would not be too difficult to use spiritual consciousness to break through the void and teleport. However, it was very extraordinary for Gao Xian to break through the void and teleport without making any noise or effort.
Many of the Nascent Souls and Golden Cores watching the battle were knowledgeable people, and many of them were amazed at the sight. To be honest, most people had never seen Gao Xian, and were very curious about the famous Pojun Xingjun.
Ninety-nine percent of the cultivators present were from the Xuanming Sect, and they were not convinced that an outsider had such a great reputation. It was just that Gao Xian's space transfer spell was really beautiful.
"This guy is really amazing!"
"Is this so close yet so far away? It doesn't look like it!"
"I heard that this person is proficient in the Five Elements Magic, but I didn't expect that he also has such profound attainments in Space Escape..."
“It lives up to its reputation…”
Some female practitioners were also paying attention to Gao Xian's appearance. "This person is pure and flawless, like a celestial being, so handsome..."
"Everyone says he is a master of romance, but I didn't expect him to be so handsome and elegant. I really want to try his skills!"
"It's really a pleasure to be with such a handsome man!"
A group of female cultivators have lived for at least a few hundred years, and they have no scruples when it comes to matters between men and women. At their level of cultivation, they are no longer bound by the so-called marriage relationship.
Of course, if you have a formal Taoist partner, you will be more restrained in this regard, because the relationship between Taoist partners is much more important than marriage.
Tai Yuan had a strong spiritual sense, so he could naturally hear many people praising Gao Xian, especially a group of female practitioners with shining eyes, which made him feel disdainful.
A bunch of ignorant guys. This kind of space teleportation spell can be performed at will without the interference of mana, but if a fight really breaks out, few people can use it. Gao Xian is just showing off by using it now!
Tai Yuan nodded to Tai Ning. He held the hilt of the sword and activated the sword energy, which turned into a purple sword rainbow that shone across the sky. In an instant, he had entered the Tianwu Arena and was confronting Gao Xian from a distance.
Tianwutai is a huge platform. For people at Taiyuan and Gaoxian's level, it is naturally impossible for them to fight while standing on the platform.
When one reaches the Jindan stage, the battle will rise from the ground to the sky, underground, and water. For cultivators, they must adapt to multi-directional and multi-faceted battles in order to survive in a complex environment.
Practitioners must use their powerful spiritual senses to constantly sense everything around them, analyze and organize various situations, and then make combat decisions.
All of this requires the support of a strong spiritual consciousness. Whether it is physical cultivation, sword cultivation or magic cultivation, the foundation of all cultivators is spiritual consciousness. Only with spiritual consciousness can one observe the world and control magic power.
Gao Xian and Tai Yuan were about ten miles apart, but their consciousness had already intertwined with each other. In fact, with Gao Xian's current powerful consciousness, he was able to unilaterally suppress Tai Yuan and confine his consciousness to a very small area.
There were so many people watching outside, so there was no need for him to be so high-profile. He could just deal with Tai Yuan normally.
It must be said that Taiyuan is a bit arrogant, but his sword intent is very pure, three points stronger than Qingqing, worthy of being the direct descendant of Xuanming Sect. After all, Qingqing has been practicing for too short a time and has improved too fast. The shuriken is of a high level, which is not a good thing for Qingqing now.
If Qingqing were to fight against Taiyuan, her chances of winning would be very slim. However, Qingqing had a great advantage against other cultivators. This was the strength of sword cultivators.
Tai Yuan ranked so low, probably because he gave some of his spirit cores to Tai Ning, wanting to help Tai Ning get first place.
Gao Xian has practiced the Wuji Tianxiang Sword Sutra to the Grandmaster level, and is not far from Grandmaster perfection. He is also much better than Taiyuan in swordsmanship.
At this moment, the two sides exchanged their energy, and he saw through Taiyuan's details at a glance. Taiyuan's cultivation was comparable to Yan Ming, and he was considered an extremely powerful master at the Nascent Soul level. Of course, Taiyuan might not be able to defeat Yan Ming. Another thing was that the Taiyuan Sword in his hand was powerful.
Tai means big, and Yuan means deep. Taiyuan, the sword power is huge and unfathomable, and there is a faint sense of agility and soaring, as if there is a dragon hidden in it.
Gao Xian has seen many powerful swords, and the Taiyuan Sword is considered to be the top sword among the fourth-level swords.
Taiyuan on the opposite side was also observing Gao Xian, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. He just felt that Gao Xian was perfect in both body and spirit, with nothing missing inside and out.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
This also made Tai Yuan a little more cautious. Although he was arrogant by nature, he was never arrogant when fighting with a sword.
The Taixu Zhoutian Huankong Formation on the Tianwu Stage was extremely magical, presenting both warring parties in their entirety, as if they were standing face to face, and also showing the changes in the magical aura of the two Yuanying True Lords.
The people watching the fight outside could not enter the Tianwu Arena with their spiritual consciousness, but they could watch the battle directly with their eyes, and could sense the subtle changes in the magical aura of both sides.
Tai Cheng said to Tai Ning beside him: "Gao Xian is a perfect person with perfect body and spirit, and there is no obvious change of the five elements. It's really amazing."
He then praised Taiyuan and said, "Brother Taiyuan's sword intent is pure and has merged with his natal sword. He has been able to fully unleash the power of the divine sword. He still has a good chance of winning..."
Tai Ning remained silent. Her opinion was similar to Tai Cheng's. Although Gao Xian was strong, he might not be able to suppress Tai Yuan. The key point was that the magic sword in Tai Yuan's hand was powerful enough to fight against Gao Xian.
However, she had a hunch that Taiyuan couldn't win! This was both her subtle sense of the future and her judgment of Gao Xian.
The Xuanming Sect practitioners who were watching the battle also felt that this battle was worth fighting.
Wan Qingxia from the Wanxiang Sect was also discussing with Shui Qinghong, "Who do you think will win?"
"Of course it's Gao Xian." Shui Qinghong was as handsome as a girl, and his voice was cool and clear, which was very different from the voice of an ordinary man.
Wan Qingxia was a little unconvinced. She was also a swordsman, so she could see that Taiyuan's swordsmanship was superb and not inferior to hers. She asked, "Why do you think so?"
"Gao Xian's body and spirit are perfect. Even under the pressure of Taiyuan's sword intent, he still shows no signs of weakness. This is clearly a huge advantage."
Shui Qinghong said calmly: "I see that Taiyuan is very motivated and I'm afraid he will launch a fierce attack. If so, he will surely be defeated in less than a hundred moves..."
On the Tianwu stage, Taiyuan shouted, "Gao Xian, look at the sword!"
As he said this, he flew his sword and transformed it into a long purple rainbow that struck Gao Xian directly.
This sword rainbow was strong and sharp, and the purple air was steaming like a dragon striking the sky, with great power and full of mysterious changes. There was a faint sound of dragon roaring in the surging sword rainbow.
The sound of the dragon's roar seemed to be far away in the sky, yet seemed to be close to one's heart. The dragon's roar, which seemed to be far and near, made one's soul tremble.
The Taixu Zhoutian Huankong Array completely transmitted the magical energy, which made the faces of many Jindan Zhenren who were watching the battle outside change, and they hurriedly activated various protective spells and magic weapons to resist the sword chant.
They understood that the dragon's roar was actually the sword's intent, and therefore had the power to destroy the soul.
It is not difficult for sword energy to transform into a shape, but the difficult part is that the sword energy transforms into a flying dragon with the shape of a dragon.
Several Yuanying Zhenjuns couldn't help but clap their hands in praise.
"The Taiyuan Sword lives up to its reputation!"
"The sword transforms into a dragon, with both form and spirit, just like a dragon dancing in the sky..."
As everyone was admiring in their hearts, they saw a halo as bright as the moon appear behind Gao Xian, emitting moonlight as bright as water that illuminated the sky and the earth.
The cold moonlight carried a chilling aura that could penetrate people's bones and souls. Everyone watching the battle outside felt a chill all over their bodies.
Tai Yuan, who was facing the cold moon, felt sluggish all over. His sword intent, which was as nimble as a dragon, seemed to be frozen and turned into a dead snake.
Tai Yuan was not convinced. His Yin Spirit and his natal sword resonated together. The three-foot Tai Yuan Sword in his hand suddenly emitted a bright purple light. The void solidified by the watery moonlight was also torn into a crack by the sword energy.
Taiyuan's body and sword merged into one, transforming into a ray of sword light that slashed straight at Gao Xian.
The moon-like Taiyin Mysterious Essence Wheel behind Gao Xian spun, and under his urging, he performed the sword technique of Dark Moon Hidden Void. Dark Moon Hidden Void was originally derived from the Taiyin Mysterious Essence Wheel.
Driven by the sword intent at the level of Grandmaster Gao Xian, the Taiyin Xuanjing Wheel also displayed all the magic and power of Huiyue Cangkong.
Tai Yuan transformed into a sharp purple sword light and slashed straight towards him. After being twisted in the annihilation of space, it silently shattered and dissipated. In the end, all the changes in magic power were swallowed up by Huiyue Zangkong.
A divine light shot up into the sky above the Taixu Zhoutian Huankong Array, and Taiyuan, with a look of astonishment on his face, appeared outside the Tianwu Stage.
The many cultivators watching the battle were all speechless.
Everyone knew Gao Xian was powerful, and everyone thought Gao Xian had a better chance of winning, but no one could have imagined that Gao Xian would kill Tai Yuan with just one move. This meant that there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides, and they were not on the same level...
Tai Ning's face turned pale. Gao Xian's strength was far beyond her expectations.
The old man Zhenye, who was leading the battle, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. This Gao Xian was so cruel! He tapped the jade chime with his fingers and announced in a deep voice: "Gao Xian wins."
Gao Xian smiled and bowed to everyone around him, then walked out of the Tianwu Stage.
It was not until this moment that the many cultivators watching the battle suddenly realized what was going on, and there was an inevitable uproar. When everyone looked at Gao Xian again, there was already a little more respect and awe in their eyes... (End of this chapter)
