Aura descended from the sky, and Tie Yuan appeared expressionlessly in the middle of the teleportation array in front of the hall.
Gao Xian and Tie Yuan were the last to fight in the 18 battles, but they were the first to decide the winner. This result also surprised many cultivators in the hall.
Most of the cultivators were paying attention to Zhizhen's battle, and few went to see Gaoxian and Tieyuan's battle. They didn't know what happened, why did the battle end so quickly? At most, the battle between the two sides would not last more than ten breaths.
Everyone looked at Tieyuan with a bit of scrutiny, wondering how he had lost so easily.
Tieyuan was in a very bad mood at the moment. He could accept failure, but he was completely crushed by Gaoxian's extremely tyrannical and overbearing power.
This huge gap in strength had dealt a heavy blow to his confidence. Fortunately, he was strong-willed and could barely control his emotions.
Tieyuan saluted the Taoist masters with his hands clasped together, then quietly retreated back to Mingxiang Arhat.
Mingxiang thought highly of Tieyuan, who he cultivated. He comforted him, "Gao Xian has combined the positive and negative five elements into one, and has the five elements body training method. His magic power is several times stronger than yours. It's normal for you to lose."
Given the powerful magic power Gao Xian displayed, it would be strange if Tieyuan could catch this palm.
Tieyuan nodded silently. He was so bitter that he didn't want to talk. The last time he suffered such a strong setback was because he was threatened by his cheap master and was forced to endure it for ten years.
That experience left a deep impression on him. It also inspired him to cultivate hard and move forward bravely, which qualified him to participate in the Jiuzhou Dharma Assembly two hundred years later.
As a result, he tasted the bitter failure again. The taste was so strong and bitter! Tieyuan narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he couldn't change the failure, he would use this tragic failure to spur himself forward just like last time! Mingxiang noticed the subtle changes in Haiyuan's mood, and he couldn't help but nod in his heart. Haiyuan's character was far from being as pure as lightning, but he was more perseverant and unyielding.
Such a tragic failure, on the contrary, inspired Haiyuan to strengthen his determination. He is indeed a genius. As for his previous minor troubles, they were actually nothing...
In the Baxuan Palace, Gao Xian gently put away the storage talisman left by Tieyuan with his long sleeves. Although the bloody scene just now was tragic, it was actually a substitute for death.
This magical palace has a substitute rune on the cultivator, which will be activated at critical moments to avoid real casualties.
Gao Xian guessed that it was because of Dao Hong Dao Zun's guidance that the system could operate so stably and exquisitely. However, these were irrelevant to the overall situation.
He came to the alcove and took out the storage talisman, and a passage silently opened up on the opposite wall.
When he entered the passage, a bright and clear light descended from above and enveloped Gao Xian's whole body. Gao Xian felt a coolness all over his body, and his mind became unusually calm and clear.
"This is a magical power to heal injuries and restore energy. It is meant to allow the practitioner to return to the best condition..." Gao Xian immediately understood the purpose of this spiritual light, but he also felt that this design was a bit of an exaggeration.
There were no casualties in the battle at Baxuan Palace, so it was unnecessary to restore the lost mana.
Gao Xian walked forward along the passage and came to the same circular hall with the same layout. There was a seal on the niche, and the storage talisman inside could not be touched.
The other opponent obviously had not arrived yet. Gao Xian knew that he had ended the battle too quickly and the other opponent had not arrived yet.
He couldn't help but feel a little bored, and calculated the probability of meeting Yu Wuji. If he didn't meet him in the second round, then there was basically no chance of meeting him.
Because of this person's ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it to the third round.
The design of this Dharma Conference is very interesting. There will be nine winners at the end of the second round. This means that one person will definitely be left without a bye in the third round.
How would this person handle it?
Gao Xian was a little curious. Would the final duel be a melee between three people? Or would someone want to fight more? However, none of this mattered. He didn't need luck, he could just rely on his strength to sweep through. Among so many cultivators, only Zhizhen could stand up to the battle, the rest were not worth mentioning.
Gao Xian was doing nothing in the hall, while other practitioners were fighting fiercely.
Zhizhen wielded the Taiyi Minghuang Four Poles Sword calmly. Each move was simple and clear, yet it had the majestic power of a king who dominated the world and commanded the four poles.
Although Dongfang Liuyun's Nine Deaths Sword was fierce and brave, it was suppressed into a corner step by step when facing Zhizhen's vast and powerful sword force.
Seeing that he could kill Dongfang Liuyun with the next strike, Zhizhen put away his sword and stepped back. He bowed and said, "Thank you."
Dongfang Liuyun's eyes dimmed. He reluctantly returned the greeting and bowed: "Thank you for showing mercy, fellow Daoist."
This battle was not only about his superb skills, but also about the grandness of his sword skills. Every move was clear and upright, and he was speechless in his victory.
Dongfang Liuyun put down the storage talisman and retreated along the passage. In the blink of an eye, he had returned to the main hall. He glanced around and found that the two cultivators of the sect had returned first. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The first round had not yet ended, and only Yin Jiuli was left out of the four people in Tai Chi Sword Palace.
Returning to the sect's cultivators, the Divine Transformation Daoist Lord Yin Sujun said to Dongfang Liuyun: "You performed very well, and the Dao Master is very satisfied."
Dongfang Liuyun was a little surprised. He was beaten without any chance to fight back, but he could still be praised by the Daoist Master? Yin Sujun probably didn't dare to use the title of Daoist Master indiscriminately, and there was no need for it.
Dongfang Liuyun was very excited to receive the praise from the Taoist Master, and his previous gloom was completely gone.
When he calmed down and looked at the water mirror above, he saw Yin Jiuli fighting with a bright and beautiful woman. If he remembered correctly, this woman was a cultivator of Xuanming Sect, named Taining.
The cultivators who participated in the Dharma Assembly were all geniuses from various sects. In terms of beauty, Xiao Jinse was undoubtedly the most beautiful. However, Tai Ning had a kind of charm that Xiao Jinse did not have.
Xiao Jinse's temperament is gentle but elegant, giving people a sense of alienation. On the contrary, she is not as attractive as a charming little woman like Tai Ning.
Yin Jiuli obviously had no intention of showing mercy to women. The Yin-Yang sword in his hand kept changing, making Tai Ning pale with fear. The copper ruler-like artifact in his hand kept vibrating, emitting a long and melodious sound like that of a zither.
The Yin-Yang swords turned into a circle of sword light, and the heavy sword lights suddenly shrank inward. When blood spurted out, a ray of spiritual light fell from the sky, and Tai Ning had appeared in front of the hall.
Tai Ning bowed to several Dao Masters and then retreated to the side of Dao Master Zhenye. Zhenye consoled him, "This woman's swordsmanship is a combination of yin and yang, and her twin swords are divine swords. It doesn't matter if you lose to her..."
Tai Ning forced himself to speak angrily, "She only bullies me. Wait until she meets my senior brother and you'll see how powerful she is!"
Zhenye laughed in silence. Taining, Qingle and Taichu were all from the direct lineage of the sect and had never suffered any hardship. Although they spoke and acted with the bearing of the sect, they also lacked some sharpness and bravery.
Hai Yuan from the Dragon Elephant Palace and Dongfang Liuyun from the Taiji Sword Palace are truly extraordinary. Gao Xian is the only one in this generation of the sect, but unfortunately, Gao Xian is not from the sect and does not even practice the sect's secrets, so he can never get close to Gao Xian...
Zhenye looked up again and saw that Gao Xian on the water mirror had met his second opponent. This person was obviously a man but was dressed seductively and had an evil aura. It was Yu Wuji from the Mingtian Sect.
Tai Ning also knew Yu Wuji. His eyes seemed to have hooks, which made her feel uneasy. She whispered to Zhenye, "Dao Jun, this Yu Wuji seems to be the strongest genius of Mingtian Sect?"
"No matter how talented he is, he can't withstand Gao Xian's ten moves..." Zhenye had just seen Gao Xian kill Hai Yuan, and he also knew how powerful Gao Xian's body training skills were.
When fighting in such a closed and narrow space, those who are good at body-building techniques really have an advantage.
Yu Wuji had never witnessed Gao Xian's previous battle. He became visibly excited when he saw Gao Xian, "Daoyou, we meet again."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian smiled and bowed: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Yu."
Yu Wuji was a little disdainful: "You are very talkative, why are you speechless now?"
"All the Taoist masters are watching. I don't care about my fellow Taoists, but I cannot disrespect the Mingtian Sect and I cannot disrespect Taoist Master Beiming." Gao Xian explained solemnly.
This was very irritating. What Yu Wuji couldn't stand the most was Gao Xian's weirdness. He didn't want to waste time talking to Gao Xian, so he directly activated the light of the Taiyin Divine King Seal deep in his sea of consciousness. A ring of water-like spiritual light rippled around his body, and the extremely cold air also spread.
The hall was brightly lit by the spiritual light stone. As the extremely cold air spread, white mist rose in the air.
"Wait a moment."
Just when Yu Wuji was about to take action, Gao Xian stopped him. Yu Wuji looked at Gao Xian coldly without saying anything.
Although Yu Wuji was a bit eccentric, he knew that Gao Xian was very powerful and he was probably not Gao Xian's opponent. However, he was not convinced. He wanted to see what Gao Xian was capable of that would make Xuanyang Daozun take notice of him! Gao Xian smiled brightly at Yu Wuji and said, "Daoyou, I have a suggestion. Why don't we make a bet? If I lose, I'll give you this Taixuhuanmeng Daoyi. If you lose, you can just take a Zhongtian Beiji Pill."
Yu Wuji laughed instead: “You wish!”
"I know this bet is very unfair to you, fellow Taoist. How about this? As long as you can hold out against me for ten breaths, you win. Not only will I give you the Taixu Huanmeng Taoist robe, but I will also immediately withdraw from the Baxuan Palace..." Gao Xian said slowly.
Yu Wuji's eyes narrowed. This betting condition was too favorable to him, but on the other hand, it was too contemptuous of him. He knew that this was a provocation, but he wanted to try it.
He didn't believe that Gao Xian could defeat him within ten breaths! It was just that he didn't want to follow Gao Xian's rhythm. The more the enemy wanted him to do something, the more he wanted to do the opposite.
Gao Xian certainly understood Yu Wuji's thoughts. He sneered and said, "If you don't even dare to agree to this, then just admit defeat and leave the stage. Don't embarrass Mingtian Sect here..."
"Okay, I'll take the bet."
Yu Wuji said coldly: "If you really can't hold on for ten breaths, then there's nothing to say!"
"happy."
Gao Xian laughed and praised him, then said, "I'm coming, Taoist friend, please bear with it..."
Tai Ning, who was watching the battle outside, couldn't help but smile when he heard these familiar words. Senior Brother is so mean! Yu Wuji didn't want to argue with Gao Xian. He activated the Taiyin Divine King Seal, and the Taiyin Qi condensed into a solid black ice mirror, surrounding him layer by layer.
With the blessing of the Taiyin Divine King Seal, these ice mirrors are extremely solid and can reflect the opponent's magic artifacts. The Taiyin transformation is enough to freeze the spiritual energy within a thousand feet radius and temporarily form a stable Taiyin magic domain.
This kind of change naturally consumes a lot of mana, and with his ability, he can only last for twenty breaths. For this battle, it is enough.
Gao Xian saw through Yu Wuji's calculations at a glance. It was a good idea, but unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was a bit large. His spiritual sense sensing radius was only 5,000 miles, comparable to that of a late-stage incarnation.
With the help of the Five Elements Mixed Element Sutra and the Five Qi Wheel, his magic power is comparable to that of a mid-stage Spiritualization. This kid is really overthinking if he wants to resist with just a magic weapon.
Gao Xian unleashed the Mysterious Dark Divine Light and blasted it with his palm. The numerous ice mirrors kept vibrating and reflecting, but they were ultimately unable to withstand the Mysterious Dark Divine Light which was as thick as the sea and as deep as the abyss.
The layers of ice mirrors shattered at the same time, and Yu Wuji's eyes full of shock were revealed among the billions of exploding crystal fragments.
It was too late for Yu Wuji to sense that something was wrong, and he could only activate the Taiyin Divine King Seal to smash towards Gao Xian.
Gao Xian pressed his palm on the black jade seal which was about a foot square. All the positive and negative five elements magic power were transformed into the Mysterious Nether Divine Light. The black jade seal vibrated and Yu Wuji, who was activating the Taiyin Divine King Seal, had his magic power surged. The extremely cold energy of the Mysterious Nether Divine Light had penetrated his sea of consciousness and his soul.
In the blink of an eye, all of Yu Wuji's blood and magic power were frozen by the Mysterious Dark Divine Light, and he had turned into an ice man...
