Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 561 Peak of Dharma Aspect (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan's decision to challenge Master Hui Dao was made after careful consideration.

Firstly, Master Huidao was seriously injured not long ago and will not be able to recover in a short period of time.

This was confirmed by Master Lingjian.

The power that Master Huidao can unleash is only half of his usual strength.

It's definitely a bit stronger than the mid-stage Golden Core cultivator.

But it didn't reach a level that Shen Xuan couldn't resist.

Secondly, the battlefield was chosen to be in the East China Sea.

For Shen Xuan, this was like adding wings to a tiger.

He is a Golden Core cultivator specializing in ice magic, having comprehended ice magic through water magic.

The East China Sea is his home turf.

The vast ocean is his inexhaustible source of spiritual power.

Thirdly, Shen Xuan possesses the Immortal Ice Lotus Divine Power, which provides extremely strong defense.

As long as the attacks of Master Huidao can be blocked, given enough time, Master Huidao will be unable to suppress his old injuries and will inevitably be defeated.

This was also the way to victory that Master Lingjian had instructed him to follow.

Finally, Shen Xuan could transform into a dragon and condense the Xuanbing Divine Dragon Dharma Image.

After unleashing [Dragon Blood Boiling], the Xuanbing Divine Dragon's physical body becomes incredibly strong, its power immense, and its attack and defense greatly enhanced, making it capable of contending with late-stage Golden Core cultivators.

However, the cost is quite high, as it will continuously shorten one's lifespan.

Over the years, he has always been discreet and unwilling to cause trouble.

At all times, Shen Xuan always kept in mind to think thrice: to consider danger, to consider retreat, and to consider change.

When danger is detected, one should avoid it; when someone is watching, one should hide; when faced with a predicament, one should think of ways to adapt.

He has always adhered to the principle of self-preservation in his conduct.

After witnessing the passing of Qianzhu Jushi.

Shen Xuan suddenly felt a sense of unease.

He has not yet achieved a state of complete detachment from worldly desires, where all five aggregates are empty.

An unnamed rage erupted from him.

This fueled his anger towards the Yan Kingdom's sect.

The two sects launched a war simply to house the newly promoted True Person's Daoist temple of the Yan Kingdom.

Countless monks and mortals lost their lives, many of whom were women and children.

In the areas of the Song Kingdom that fell to the enemy, the economy collapsed, and both cultivators and mortals lived in poverty.

Many people suffer from psychological problems because their loved ones died in the war.

All of this was brought about by the sects of the Yan Kingdom.

Shen Xuan was a native of the State of Song, born and raised there.

In terms of emotional attachment, they still regard the State of Song as their homeland.

His family and friends are here.

The passing of Qianzhu Jushi deeply moved him.

In this life, there are some things that we must uphold.

He can no longer be completely detached from worldly affairs.

The hatred in Shen Xuan's heart suddenly erupted.

A mind that is not clear is not conducive to spiritual practice.

Therefore, Shen Xuan did not run away, but took the initiative to fight against Master Huidao.

Even if he is not a match for Master Hui Dao.

They were unwilling to avoid war, lest they be criticized and ridiculed.

Besides, in this deep sea, Master Huidao should be unable to do anything to him.

"Hui Dao, do you dare to come down?"

Deep in the sea, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon spoke in a human voice, which clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Shen Xuan, do you dare to come up here?"

Master Huidao glanced at the Xuanbing Divine Dragon in the deep sea and asked in return.

He wouldn't be that stupid.

The Golden Elixir of the Golden Law leaped into the deep sea to fight the Golden Elixir of the Ice Law, using one's own weakness to attack the enemy's strength.

You definitely won't gain anything from it.

Shen Xuan thought to himself, "These old foxes, not one of them is a fool."

"Aren't you here to seek revenge? I'm right here, why don't you dare come over?"

"Xuanbing, if you've got the guts, come up here!"

"Hui Dao, if you've got the guts, come down here!"

Master Huidao was so angry that his face turned ashen.

The True Immortals of the Overlord Blade Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

No one expected that the battle between Master Huidao and Master Xuanbing would turn out like this.

"Senior Brother Dingxian, how strong is Xuanbing in the deep sea?"

Master Dingxian shook his head.

"Even I, in the deep sea, must proceed with caution when facing this person."

He is a top-tier Golden Core cultivator in the Overlord Blade Sect.

His strength is even greater than that of Master Huidao.

I still dare not say that victory is certain.

the other side.

Master Hanyu was completely relieved.

"Senior Brother Lingjian, is Shen Xuan invincible?"

Master Lingjian nodded.

"More or less. Hui Dao probably won't go into business. If he did, he might not be a match for Shen Xuan."

Master Lingxiao exclaimed in admiration, "I never imagined that Junior Brother Xuanbing's body-refining technique would reach such a level!"

Master Hanyu pondered for a moment and said, "Shen Xuan has the bloodline of True Monarch Shen, which is quite peculiar. He seems to be progressing faster in cultivating body-refining techniques."

Master Lingjian asked, "Has the Supreme Elder ever seen him?"

"I've seen it."

"What did you say?"

"Shen Xuan said that the Supreme Elder told him to cultivate diligently and gave him some guidance."

Lingjian Zhenren gazed intently at Shen Xuan on the battlefield, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

……

The stalemate between Master Huidao and Shen Xuan lasted for more than ten breaths.

"Fine, if you don't come up, I'll force you to!"

Master Huidao hovered in the air, releasing his immense late-stage Golden Core spiritual pressure without reservation.

The enormous golden sword floating in mid-air, its blade covered in countless runes, began to glow, radiating a terrifying, sharp spiritual pressure.

"Shen Xuan, let me show you the ultimate technique of the Overlord Blade Sect!"

With a roar, Master Huidao gripped the golden sword with both hands and slashed it down into the deep sea.

"【Overlord Blade Slash】"

"boom!"

A domineering and powerful dark golden blade aura flashed across the blade.

Heaven and earth faded.

The dark golden blade aura was only a few inches long at first.

It skyrocketed all the way up.

When it touches the sea surface.

It has already transformed into a sharp blade of light that is a hundred feet long.
Wherever the blade's edge passed, tiny cracks appeared in space.

Under the pressure of the sharp, blade-like intent, the seawater parted on its own. The force was so powerful it seemed to shatter mountains and split the sea, an unstoppable force.

With immense force, the blade slashed fiercely at the Xuanbing Divine Dragon in the deep sea.

The Mystic Ice Dragon showed no weakness.

Instead of fear, a fierce fighting spirit ignited within the cold dragon's eye.

Shen Xuan no longer held back, and his blood and qi erupted violently.

[Dragon Blood Boiling!]
A violent and destructive aura soared into the sky, and the dragon's murderous intent permeated the surroundings, forming its own domain.

"Roar!"

The Mystic Ice Dragon let out a roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The dragon's body soared into the air.

The seawater converged wildly, forming a huge whirlpool that surged into the strange metal cold iron rod.

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon gripped the strange gold cold iron rod with its claws, dark gold demonic patterns flashing continuously, emanating waves of violent and destructive aura.

Then, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon unleashed a dazzling golden staff shadow, drawing upon the vast spiritual power of the seawater to directly clash with the Wise Blade Immortal's Overlord Blade Slash.

"boom!"

The next moment.

The strange gold cold iron rod and the golden giant sword collided solidly.

A powerful shockwave erupted and spread in all directions from the point of impact.

The seawater surged with towering waves hundreds of feet high.

The sea trembled violently, splitting open countless abysses.

The golden light was dazzling, and sparks flew, obscuring everyone's senses.

Then, it gradually disappeared.

The golden giant sword's spiritual light flickered, noticeably dimming somewhat.

Master Huidao's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected that Shen Xuan, after transforming into a dragon, could withstand his Overlord Blade Slash Divine Power.

It's not just him.

None of the real people present expected that Shen Xuan would choose the simplest fighting method.

That is the true spirit's form, which breaks through the law with force.

He concentrated his physical strength to the extreme and used the strange gold and cold iron rod in his hand to fight against the powerful sword-wielding technique of the Wise Blade Master.

The Mysterious Ice Dragon shattered the Wise Blade Immortal's Overlord Blade Slash with a single blow, then roared to the sky as countless giant waves surged into its dragon body.

Replenished by the spiritual energy of the vast seawater, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon's body solidified further, and its aura continued to rise.

"Body refinement is complete, peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm, not far from the Divine Power Realm!"

Master Huidao sensed the aura of the Xuanbing Divine Dragon, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

If he had known that Shen Xuan was a peak body refiner at the Dharma Aspect Realm, he shouldn't have accepted the challenge at this time.

At least, we need to wait until the injury heals before we can be sure of winning.

At this point, he was in a bind.

Master Huidao snorted coldly and spat out a red gourd from his mouth.

When the red gourd was opened, a miniature golden dragon emerged from it, radiating a hundred feet of golden light.

"disease!"

With the shout of the Wise Knife Master.

The golden dragon opened its mouth, and a beam of icy white light shot swiftly towards the reverse scale on Xuanbing's neck.

"Roar!"

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon was covered in a layer of immortal gold armor.

【Immortal Ice Lotus】!
A gigantic phantom of an ice lotus enveloped the Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

The lotus petals flowed with Daoist energy, frantically absorbing the spiritual power of the seawater, solidifying the illusory image of the ice lotus, and evolving into a tangible form.

The chilling white light slowed down noticeably when it struck a jade-white lotus petal.

Each inch forward seemed somewhat strenuous.

Nevertheless, the pale white light continued to slowly shoot out.

A crimson light flashed in the eyes of the Mystic Ice Dragon.

Then, the strange gold-plated iron rod left a trail of dark gold afterimages, accurately hitting the pale white light.

"Ding!"

The pale white blade let out a mournful cry and flew back into the red gourd.

It turned out to be a flying knife that could slay immortals.

At this moment, Shen Xuan activated all his physical talents, and the [Dragon Blood Boiling] was raised to its limit, continuously burning his lifespan.

Having paid such a price, Shen Xuan would not let it go easily.

[Walking Between Yin and Yang]!
The Xuanbing Divine Dragon tore through the void and instantly flew to the front of the Wise Blade True Man.

With a roar, he swung the strange gold and cold iron rod and smashed it down at Master Huidao.

"not good!"

Master Huidao made a hand seal and used his escape technique, transforming into a golden light and retreating hundreds of feet.

Even though he was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he was unwilling to engage in close combat with body refiners.

"Where to go!"

Shen Xuan was furious.

He used the "Dragon Blood Boiling" technique, which depleted his lifespan.

Master Huidao did not take his attack head-on.

With a series of crackling sounds, arcs of lightning lit up the body of the Xuanbing Divine Dragon.

[Divine Hidden Five Thunder Escape Technique]!
After transforming into a dragon, Shen Xuan's lightning escape technique became even faster!

Perhaps this is related to the fact that the dragon itself is skilled at controlling lightning.

The golden light that the Wise Blade Immortal had transformed into was quickly caught up by the Mysterious Ice Divine Dragon.

Master Huidao's face was gloomy.

He hadn't expected that Shen Xuan would possess so many supernatural abilities and techniques.

At this moment, he felt a vague sense of regret.

Without properly investigating the opponent's strength, they rashly accepted the challenge.

"Damn it, if I had fully recovered from my injuries, I wouldn't be so restricted!"

He never dared to unleash his full power.

I fear it might cause injury and shake my golden core.

At this moment, Shen Xuan's aggressive manner gave him a strange sense of panic.

He would definitely be at a disadvantage in close combat with the Mystic Ice Dragon.

"Very well, you forced me to this!"

Master Huidao's expression darkened, and he stopped in his tracks.

He took out a blood-red elixir and swallowed it.

In an instant, his aura surged.

At this moment, the Xuanbing Divine Dragon swung its strange golden cold iron rod and smashed it down from mid-air.

Master Huidao pointed with his hand.

[Overlord Blade Slash]!
The same supernatural power, but with greatly enhanced strength.

"boom!"

The golden sword was held horizontally above the Wise Sword Master, forcefully blocking the strange gold and cold iron rod.

The dazzling golden light shimmered incessantly.

The Xuanbing Divine Dragon was forcefully thrown back dozens of feet.

They retreated all the way back.

A notch appeared on the strange metal rod.
