Shulong Daojun

Tai Shi refers to the beginning of form, which has substance but no form.

Therefore, the Taoist practices and techniques cultivated by its disciples are all related to the transformation of form.

One aspect emphasizes external transformation, with form following the mind's will, capable of transforming into mountains, rivers, the sun and moon, insects, fish, birds, and beasts.

Firstly, one should focus on internal cultivation, where the form is determined by oneself, and despite myriad changes, the essence remains the same; one can determine the universe with a single finger.

Lu Qianbian came from a separate lineage and did not condense his Dao embryo with innate spiritual energy, so he naturally cultivated the external transformation path.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, his aura changed instantly, and in less than half a breath, he had transformed into the appearance of Zhang Ziling.

Then, looking down at Lin Shu, he said indifferently, "Come up here, and I will give you a defeat."

Below the cloud platform, Zhang Ziling, seeing this, cursed, "You damn Taoist priest—"

Lin Shu slightly raised his eyelids, put his hands behind his back, and laughed, "You dare to speak if you can only draw a tiger but end up with a dog?"

He was naturally familiar with Lu Qianbian.

I was defeated by him when I was young, but only by a single move.

Now it seems that he only dared to be so arrogant because he was more powerful than him.

Ah, let's see how much progress he makes.

Thinking of this, Lin Shu lightly touched the ground with his toes, and in a flash, he ascended to the cloud platform.

Just then, Lu Qianbian's sleeves fluttered, and two bolts of Yang lightning shot out, striking directly at the entrance of the Scale Book.

Immediately, he transformed into Chen Hao's appearance, formed the Taiyi·Shi Seal with his hands, took a step forward, and suppressed his aura.

Thunder and lightning descended from the sky, accompanied by the Dharma seal, and the sky above the cloud platform changed instantly.

Lin Shu's expression remained unchanged. He raised his hand and swept it with divine light, causing thunder to shatter the seal. His movements were expansive and powerful, resembling those of a deity.

Come and don't go indecent.

Before Lu Qianbian could react, Lin Shu casually flicked his wrist, and divine light transformed into a long rainbow, covering all directions and piercing towards Lu Qianbian.

Lu Qianbian's expression immediately hardened.

He quickly made a hand seal, transforming himself into a startled bird, then into a tiny ant, and finally into invisible clouds and smoke.

As it dodged, it transformed into a three-headed monster snake, which opened its mouth and spewed forth a great wind, a torrential downpour, and a snowstorm.

The three elements coalesced into celestial phenomena, pressing down upon the scale-like writings that descended upon us.

At that time, it seemed as if the city was about to be crushed.

Lin Shu remained calm, raised his hand and spun it, divine light shone down, transforming into a robe that covered his body and burst forth in all directions, like an umbrella or a canopy.

No matter how fierce the celestial phenomenon was, it could not get within an inch of his body.

Lin Shu remained unmoved, but suddenly the wind in front of him parted, the rain curtain broke, the snowflakes melted, and the turbulent sky seemed to have been torn open.

At this moment, he glanced in Lu Qianbian's direction and commented lightly, "Not bad, you have made some progress, you already have two moves."

But that's all.

The advantage of longevity and immortality lies in the initial emergence of immortal essence within the body, the physical body being partially immersed in the immortal flow, and the abundant Qi reservoir, which can continuously replenish itself.

However…

At this point, Lin Shu paused for a moment, then said loudly, "When I first mastered my profound skills, I was already like this."

The difference in cultivation level between you and me is but a hair's breadth.

Lu Qianbian, your Dao embryonic quality is inferior to mine, your Dao techniques and cultivation methods are inferior to mine, and your innate talent is also inferior to mine. So how can you fight me?

"Go down and restrain yourself a bit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shu's sleeves fluttered, and he unleashed his full magical power. A pillar of divine light covered the cloud platform and crashed down towards the monstrous snake that Lu Qianbian had transformed into.

Lu Qianbian's mind sharpened, and he transformed into clouds and smoke, using his intangible form to protect himself.

However, the divine light and its oppressive force came like a raging storm, carrying him out of the cloud platform and into the distance.

When he reappeared, he was already in the audience.

It is clear that they have already lost.

"The Scale Book!" Lu Qianbian's face twisted in anger, his hair bristling, as he roared its name.

Lin Shu glanced at it from afar, shook his head, and then ignored it.

Why say more to a defeated opponent?

Moreover, Lu Qianbian has now completely exposed his ugly side and disgraced the lineage, so someone will surely discipline him.

as predicted.

In the next instant, a kind-eyed Taoist priest lightly flicked his sleeve and pulled Lu Qianbian to his side, sighing:

"Foolish child, you are rather stubborn and unrepentant. Calm down and reflect on your mistakes, and try to wake up."

Having said that, he raised his hand and pointed, turning Lu Qian into a stubborn stone, which he then put into his sleeve.

Just then, Lin Shu also jumped down from the cloud platform.

Yi Xuan has already declared him the winner, and the next match will take place on the cloud platform. He should step down and rest for now.

Before long, Lin Shu saw the kind-eyed Taoist slowly approaching and said with a smile, "Nephew, you have quite the skill."

"Truly a prodigy of our Daoist sect, truly extraordinary."

This compassionate Taoist was Lu Qianbian's master, and also an Earth Immortal.

Just as Lin Shu was about to cup his hands in response, the Taoist priest strode over and said, "My disciple certainly has some skills."

Is there anything you want to say?

Having said that, the Taoist priest holding the bag glanced at the Taoist priest with compassionate eyes.

The kind-eyed Taoist's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly said, "I dare not, Your Highness's disciple, very good."

I was simply delighted to see your talent, so I came to take a look.

By the way, please pass on a message from my unworthy disciple to my nephew: Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise; the future is long.

After saying that, he chuckled lightly and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Standing there, the Taoist priest pondered for a moment, then whispered to Lin Shu:

"Good disciple, the Tai Shi lineage emphasizes that the more the mind resembles the form, the more the form resembles the mind, and the stronger the technique becomes."

This defeat may not necessarily be a bad thing for Lu Qianbian.

Be careful in the future.

After hearing this, Lin Shu bowed and said, "This disciple understands."

He then straightened up and looked up at the cloud platform.

The future is indeed long.

However, Lu Qianbian's future is merely my yesterday.

On the cloud platform, Chen Hao and Zhang Ziling were currently engaged in combat.

The odds are roughly 70/30.

Chen Hao has a 70% chance of winning, while Zhang Ziling has a 30% chance.

This was because, under the suppression of the Initial Seal Rank, Zhang Ziling's lightning techniques were hindered, and the Yang Lightning in his hands exploded repeatedly.

Moreover, Chen Hao's cultivation level was higher than his, so even if he acted impulsively and merged with lightning, he would still be defeated in the end.

The winners of the other two matches were the same as usual.

One is Beichen, and the other is the first disciple of the Tai Su lineage.

Although the two men won, they did so in different ways.

The North Star draws water from the long river, causing it to overflow, and for a time it looks down upon the world.

The chief disciple of Tai Su swallowed a pill and used magical artifacts such as knives, swords, seals, and bells to exhaust the opponent's magical power before finally winning.

Clearly, the secrets of Taoist cultivation lie not in physical attacks, but in alchemy and weapon forging.

At that moment, Yi Xuan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "The four rounds of competition are over. The winners should take their places, rest for a while, and then draw the next round."

Upon hearing this, the disciples felt relieved, and a smile appeared on their faces.

Although the day was filled with competitions, it wasn't too tiring, but being able to rest for a while was a good thing.

During this time, Beichen sat quietly on the futon, listening intently to the words of the disciple who had fought with the first disciple of the separate lineage, seemingly lost in thought, nodding occasionally.

Chen Hao frowned slightly as he spoke with Chen Ling'er.

Lin Shu reached out and teased Qing Min, smiling faintly as he waited for the next round of the competition.

Before long, Yi Xuan flicked his sleeves, and the divination tube was placed in front of everyone.

He said calmly, "The rest is over. Let's draw another round, and the winner will be crowned."

Then Lin Shu stepped forward, raised his hand and gently picked up the cloud slip, which landed in his hand. The name on it was none other than Chen Hao.

Upon reaching Beichen, his opponent was the first disciple of the Tai Su lineage.

"The draw is complete. The first match is between Lin Shu and Chen Hao. Take the stage."
