My wife is a reborn big boss

Why did Emperor Zhou say that the number of people was meaningless in relation to the "natural state of the Dao"?

That's because once you enter the "Daoist Natural Realm," it's no longer simply about calling upon the primordial energy of heaven and earth, but about being able to completely control it.

Even when someone at the Innate Realm makes a move, it's still just a simple matter of guiding the heavens and earth, imbuing their technique with a sense of intent that aligns with their own attributes.

For example, the first innate master in history to die at the hands of a acquired one, that is, the scoundrel from Xien Manor who was instantly killed by Wu Qiong in one move. His attribute was water, so when he drew his sword, it felt like a torrential rain of swords.

Upon reaching the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm, one's attacks will be imbued with attribute damage tailored to their own abilities. However, the differences within the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm are evident here, as seen in the top-ranked individuals on the Heavenly Ranking.

Ranked ninth is Zhao Wuji, the "Snow Wolf King" of the Great Qin Dynasty, whose attribute is ice and snow; ranked eighth is Ximen Chui, the "Thunder Sword Saint," whose attribute is lightning; ranked fifth and sixth are Sikong Tiezhu and Ouyang Ergou, namely Taiqing Ziyang Zhenren and Shaolin Xuankong Fangzhang, whose attributes are wind and wood respectively; ranked third and fourth are Ye Yuxi of Xuantian Sect and Sheng Yeyun of Xieji Sect, whose attributes are snow and blood; ranked second is He Jinxi, the "Madman," whose attribute is the incomparably sharp metal; and ranked first is Qu Wuming, the "Sword Master," who has already surpassed the "Dao Fa Ziran Realm" to the "Dongxu Realm."

However, Wu Qiong's situation differs from that of the three future big bosses.

In their past lives, Li Jianshi was the cloud, Su Mubai was the wind, and Bai Xuanji was the tree.

In this life, Li Jianshi's goal is light and darkness, Su Mubai's is stars, reincarnation, and emptiness, and Bai Xuanji's goal is to generate fire from wood to form the five elements.

As for Wu Qiong, he followed a different path. Due to his understanding of games from his previous life and the swordsmanship he inherited in this life, his goal from the beginning was the Way of Yin and Yang. To achieve Yin and Yang, one must first cultivate the Five Elements. Therefore, he did all sorts of things, such as being a storyteller, because storytellers can ramble on and on while telling stories. If he did this for a period of time, he could master the Way of Water.

Of course, this is only a small part of the reason. The more important reason is poverty. Flooding the story with filler content allows him to extend its duration, thus earning more money at restaurants and teahouses...

After a year of continuous watering, Wu Qiong finally mastered the Way of Water, which was also the final element of his Five Elements. Thus, he officially stepped into the Way of Yin and Yang.

However, Su Mubai and the other two achieved their goals early on because of their self-created cultivation techniques.

Therefore, both time travelers and reborn individuals are essentially cheaters... but the cheaters of reborn individuals are even stronger than those of time travelers, since Wu Qiong doesn't have a system.

So here's the question: why was the old eunuch able to condense a substitute... um... Dharma form that only exists in the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm, before he even broke through to the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm?

First, he only managed to conjure one arm, and it was still just a phantom.

Secondly, the reason why the old eunuch was able to condense a Dharma form innately was because he had been in the innate realm for decades and spent every day by his son's side, which meant he had already stepped into the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm with one foot in it. However, condensing a Dharma form upon entering the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm was only the most basic step. For example, when he fought to the death with Wu Qiong and the other two, his last resort was to use his Dharma form to fight.

In the battle at Shaolin Temple, where Masters Xuan Kong and Xuan Ji acted out a tacit performance, they also used the Dharma Image.

In reality, for truly powerful beings in the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm, the ability to condense a Dharma image is merely evidence that you have already entered the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" realm.

As for how much stronger the "Daoist Natural Realm" is than the Innate Realm, a very intuitive comparison will tell you.

For example, if simultaneously attacked by ten experts at the Innate Realm, a master at the "Dao Fa Zi Ran" (Daoist Natural Realm) could simply sneer and shout, "I'll fight all ten!"

Then one of them took on the whole group and beat them up.

But when faced with an attack from ten Innate Realm cultivators... he didn't even need ten, just three. He could only scoff and shout, "When a man dies, he flies to the sky! I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"

Then he collapsed.

This is the most direct comparison between the "Daoist Natural Realm" and the Innate Realm.

.........

It felt like more than a thousand breaths had passed before the confrontation between Emperor Zhou and Bai Xuanji finally ended.

The emerald green dragon phantom behind Emperor Zhou transformed into a streak of green light and flew swiftly toward Bai Xuanji as he threw a punch!

"Lushan Rising Dragon Strike!" This is Wu Qiong's voiceover.

The eldest princess smiled proudly, and the fire dragon behind her, which had solidified into a physical form, transformed into a fire phoenix, which slapped towards Emperor Zhou with her jade palm.

"Phoenix Wings Soaring to the Sky!" It's obvious who it is.

boom!

A loud bang!

The emerald dragon was shattered by the fire phoenix! The two figures reappeared from the flames!

Emperor Zhou practiced the ancestral martial art "Qiankun Wuji Gong," and his moves were grand and expansive, displaying the royal style!

The Empress practiced the "Hun Tian Bao Jian," which combined the essence of many profound martial arts techniques with the "Qian Kun Wu Ji Gong." Her moves were upright and dignified, displaying a royal demeanor!

The two were surrounded by flames mixed with green light, and their moves were all aimed at catching their opponent off guard. For a time, they were locked in a stalemate!

The two fought with increasing momentum, and gradually the Imperial Guards' encirclement slowly expanded, expanded, and expanded again! Until they retreated hundreds of feet away!

Although Wu Qiong and his two companions didn't retreat that far, they still stepped back a hundred feet and quietly watched the two fighting in the center of the square.

The three of them were different from others, and they gradually began to figure out something about it.

Although the two are currently locked in a stalemate, the Princess's every move is precisely timed to strike when Emperor Zhou is at his most vulnerable, as if her techniques are perfectly designed to counter him.

This is to be expected, since her "Hun Tian Bao Jian" is a technique that completely counters "Qian Kun Wu Ji Gong".

The two combatants also sensed this; Emperor Zhou's expression grew increasingly serious. Conversely, the Eldest Princess's expression became increasingly relaxed.

Emperor Zhou's nerves were on edge. He couldn't afford to make the slightest mistake in any move, because he knew that if he made even the slightest error, Bai Xuanji would seize the opportunity to defeat him completely.

Fortunately, he belongs to the wood element, and his greatest strength lies in protracted warfare.

The eldest princess was also waiting, waiting for that fleeting opportunity when the other party would reveal a weakness.

She had to seize that opportunity!

All the tricks have been used, the moon is rising higher, but the opportunity has yet to arrive.

Finally, she could no longer bear it. Her right hand was engulfed in flames, while her left hand turned as white as jade. Emperor Zhou frowned, realizing that things were not simple. He felt an extreme coldness from his daughter's left hand. You must know that he was at the "Dao Fa Zi Ran Realm". The temperature changes of the four seasons were no longer a concern for him.

He was even more on edge.

The princess, however, paid no attention. With her hands, ice and fire transformed into two giant dragons, which she unleashed in a spiral!

Emperor Zhou Bailuo dared not be negligent. He fully activated his true essence, and his body shone with a brilliant green light, condensing into a Xuanwu phantom in front of him! The verdant Xuanwu emitted a dazzling green light! Emperor Zhou even seemed to have turned a few shades greener!

Finally! The "Ice and Fire Dual Realms" collided with the Xuanwu phantom!

"Sizzle... sizzle..."

The two forces clashed, producing a piercing friction sound. Wu Qiong and his two companions frowned and couldn't help but cover their ears, while the Imperial Guards further away had already fainted in droves.

The stalemate lasted only a moment before the outcome finally came!

"Snap!"

With a soft sound, the green "beep" head of the Xuanwu phantom could no longer hold on, instantly becoming covered with cracks before shattering!

Seeing all this, Wu Qiong couldn't help but gasp: "Holy crap! It looks painful!"
