Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The top 30, except for Li Bai, are basically all spirit plant masters with the third level of Qi Refining Realm cultivation.

Seeing that Li Bai had once again won with a pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique, Zhao Yuanqi, Su Wan'er, and the others frowned slightly, and their gazes toward Li Bai were no longer dismissive, but solemn.

Few people can achieve the feat of defeating a Qi Refining Realm Level 3 opponent with a single spell cast by someone at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Fighting against someone of a higher level, even if it's just a small difference, is something not everyone can do.

Li Bai stepped down from the dueling platform, slowly recovering the little magic power he had consumed while observing the other people's duels.

Zhao Yuanqi took to the stage, and his opponent was also a spirit plant master who looked to be in his thirties or forties and at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

Her combat strength is even greater than that of the female cultivator Li Bai faced before.

With one hand holding a wooden shield to defend himself, he used the other hand to immobilize Zhao Yuanqi with a wooden vine technique.

However, as Zhao Yuanqi waved his hand and formed a magic seal, a fire dragon soared into the sky and burned all the wooden vines to ashes.

With another hand seal, six sword energies shot towards the opponent.

Great Spirit Sword Technique!

The first three sword energies tore through the wooden shield, while the last three sword energies injured him and forced him to admit defeat.

Upon seeing that Zhao Yuanqi was also practicing fire-based magic, Li Bai's expression changed slightly, showing some astonishment.

"You flatter me." Zhao Yuanqi bowed and stepped down from the dueling platform. As he did so, he glanced at Li Bai and their eyes met.

Seeing Li Bai watching him, Zhao Yuanqi smiled faintly.

Soon Su Wan'er appeared, facing a young disciple who looked to be around twenty years old and also had the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining Realm.

Looking at Su Wan'er, the disciple's expression became more solemn: "I know you are very strong. I have a chance. If you can break through, I will admit defeat."

Su Wan'er's expression was as cold as frost; she simply stared at him without saying a word.

The disciple was secretly delighted. With a wave of his hand, one scarecrow after another appeared on the dueling platform. Three scarecrows appeared and formed an array. Accompanied by a surge of magical energy, the three scarecrows actually opened their eyes and formed an array to move towards Su Wan'er.

At the same time, wooden vines emerged from the hands of the three scarecrows, forming a cage to bind and imprison Su Wan'er.

The disciple manipulated the scarecrow with hand seals and shouted, "Tie her up! Don't let her move!"

Seeing the scarecrow, Su Wan'er raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised: "Puppet technique, Daoist soldier scarecrow technique?"

This spell is not simple and is very rare. On the one hand, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and on the other hand, it is not easy to obtain this inheritance unless it is bestowed by a master.

but......

hum!

A chilling aura swept over Su Wan'er, and as she formed hand seals, the heavens and earth seemed to be engulfed by a chilling magical power, freezing everything.

In an instant, the three scarecrow puppets, and even the young disciple opposite the dueling platform, were covered with a thick layer of frost and frozen in place.

A sword made of solidified ice hovered between the boy's brows.

Seeing this, the boy turned deathly pale, his body shivering from the cold, and he cried out in disbelief, "You...I...I surrender!"

This scene shocked and astonished countless students and plant masters in the surrounding square.

"This, this is a mutated spiritual root - the Ice Spiritual Root!?"

"Holy crap, this power! It actually froze several scarecrows and that plant spirit master! Who can beat this?!"

"No, with this talent, why did you join our Spirit Plant Hall? Wouldn't it have been better to join one of the other lineages?"

The entire audience was instantly shocked when they saw Su Wan'er reveal her trump card.

Even some high-level plant masters were astonished and incredulous when they saw Su Wan'er reveal her ice-based magic power.

On the high platform, a steward, barely suppressing his shock, plucked out his own beard and telepathically asked the steward Yuan Hong, "Old Yuan, who is this little girl?"

Yuan Hong pondered for a moment and said a name. Immediately, the old stewards looked at each other with a strange expression, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

After defeating her opponent, Su Wan'er turned around and walked off the dueling platform. She closed her eyes and recovered her magic power right next to the platform.

In the distance, Li Bai's expression grew even more solemn.

He glanced furtively at the high platform, and unexpectedly met Chen Hexian's gaze. Chen Hexian winked at him but didn't say anything.

Li Bai inwardly marveled and smiled bitterly, muttering to himself, "I originally thought that with the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror and the Dao Seed by my side, I should have some confidence."

"But now it seems that the world has no shortage of geniuses."

"And this isn't even within the Immortal Sect; just in this branch of the Spirit Plant Hall in the Herb Garden, there are already so many geniuses..."

His initial smugness about having a Dao Seed by his side and multiple perfected techniques as a support vanished instantly. Compared to these geniuses, his foundation was still too weak and too thin.

Near the end, the young disciple named Jiang Yunhe appeared. His opponent was an old spirit plant master with many tricks up his sleeve, who immediately used a spell to trap Jiang Yunhe upon entering the arena.

Faced with this situation, Jiang Yunhe simply grinned, and a surge of powerful blood energy erupted from his body, causing him to grow larger and larger until he finally transformed into a nearly nine-foot-tall giant.

With this power of evolution, Jiang Yunhe easily tore apart the wooden vines that bound him and charged forward with a roar, like a humanoid tyrannosaurus beast.

"Thump!"

"Bang!!!"

A simple kick, a single force that overcomes all techniques.

Like a giant beast charging and crashing, wooden shields were torn apart one after another. The old spirit plant master coughed up blood and flew through the air, only to be kicked off the dueling platform by Jiang Yunhe.

Such a barbaric and violent scene caused an uproar among the countless students and plant masters around the square, their eyes wide with astonishment.

"Holy crap! This is... a body-refining technique!?"

"Wait, why would a spirit plant master practice body-refining techniques? And these body-refining techniques, ugh, they're incredibly ruthless!"

"I never expected that plant cultivators could possess such skills and combat power! They're incredibly strong!"

The square was filled with commotion, and the gazes directed at Jiang Yunhe were now filled with awe, respect, and fervor.

Although body-refining techniques are somewhat unrefined and not the orthodox path compared to normal spells, their brute power and violent impact still make many male cultivators envious and yearn for them.

Li Bai remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed.

turn out to be......

These geniuses each have extraordinary methods.

If Chen Hexian hadn't taught him a top-tier sword technique, and if he hadn't possessed the Tai Xuan Immortal Mirror and the Sword Heart Seed, he might not even have been qualified to face these geniuses.

However, considering that he had already mastered the Spring Sword technique and possessed the Sword Heart Seed, Li Bai took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I'm not bad either!"

Soon, a manager announced the list of the top fifteen, and drew a bye for one person, leaving fourteen people to compete, ultimately determining the top eight.

Li Bai didn't get a bye; in the third match, he faced a seasoned plant expert who looked to be in his forties or fifties.

The spirit plant master stepped onto the dueling platform, exchanged a glance with Li Bai, and revealed a gentle smile: "Junior brother, you have a good foundation. We can have a good spar. The outcome is not important. What I enjoy most is discussing the Dao with geniuses like you."

Seeing that this person seemed quite amiable, Li Bai became secretly wary.

as predicted.

The next moment, an indescribable divine power enveloped him, silently pulling Li Bai into an illusion.

Li Bai's expression changed slightly, and he cursed inwardly, "Old fox, what a scoundrel!"
