Everything within Li Dao's sight was clearly visible to him.

However, Li Dao couldn't help but close his eyes and rub his temples. He knew perfectly well that everything before was just an illusion.

That was an illusion brought about by a significant increase in spiritual power. Even someone with double pupils at the Spirit Transformation Realm might not be able to see through everything, let alone him.

However, this result is due to the significant increase in one's mental strength, so it's not necessarily a bad thing.

"Perhaps it's time to hone my mental strength."

A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he couldn't help but think of the Heart Sword he had obtained from Xu Fei. But now was not the time; he still needed to go out and meet someone to deal with some matters.

He sensed the arrival of the Pavilion Master the moment he arrived, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Now, he should pay him a visit.

crunch--

The long-closed door opened, immediately attracting the attention of the people in the courtyard.

"Boss! You've finally emerged from seclusion!"

"The impression you created earlier was terrifying—a golden deity bowing, accompanied by the roars of dragons and tigers!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it really does resemble a divine manifestation!"

As soon as Li Daogang stepped out the door, Xiao Hua pounced on him and began to recount what had happened earlier in a vivid and detailed manner.

Seeing Xiaohua like this, Li Dao's lips twitched slightly. He really wanted to slap her right now, but he held back.

It learned from its mouth that it had caused such a commotion, and looking up at the sky, it saw that the courtyard had been sealed off by runes.

He immediately knew it was Wu Yuan who did it, and solemnly said a step earlier:

"This disciple thanks the Sect Master for protecting me!"

Wu Yuan saw that Li Dao, who had been weak and pale just a few days ago, had changed so much in just a few days.

His complexion was rosy, his eyes were bright and piercing, his breath was smooth and even, and his spirit was completely different from before.

More importantly, at this moment, even he felt a sense of threat from Li Dao's strength.

Li Dao noticed that Wu Yuan's gaze was constantly scanning him, but his expression remained unchanged.

Casting a reassuring glance at the overjoyed Li Jiaojiao, Wu Yuan spoke up at the opportune moment:

"This is what an elder should do. Judging from your full blood and qi and the clear energy surrounding you, you must have made a lot of progress."

"Seeing such a prodigy as you, I can say that my Heaven-Mending Pavilion has a worthy successor."

Wu Yuan stroked his beard, his eyes full of admiration.

Li Daolian felt fortunate. Although he had indeed gained considerable benefits from this seclusion, he was still a long way from his goal and would not be arrogant.

Seeing that he possessed such talent yet remained neither arrogant nor discouraged, Wu Yuan was even more satisfied. He patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Taking advantage of your seclusion, today the senior sister of Zhulu Academy brought the most outstanding disciples of the academy to Butian Pavilion for an exchange."

"If you have nothing else to do, then go and take a look."

Li Dao nodded, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself:

"This exchange is probably just a pretext; the real purpose is to investigate the situation of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion's spirit-worshiping ceremony."

Just as he had expected, in a separate courtyard within the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the Goddess of War was sitting facing an elder.

"We came in a hurry, and this afternoon we will arrange for the disciples of both sides to exchange Taoist techniques. At that time, we must not make any mistakes."

An old woman with her head full of silver hair piled high in a bun, holding a dragon-headed cane, was giving detailed instructions to the female war goddess.

The valiant female warrior, clad entirely in golden armor, nodded solemnly to the old woman and asked:

"I wonder if Li Zizai, the Black Tiger Taoist, who's been making headlines lately, will show up?"

The old woman shook her head; she was also very curious about Li Zi.

Rumors circulated that he was a villainous butcher who had buried thousands of talented disciples, making him a thorn in the side of many forces; others said he was a prodigy comparable to or even surpassing those with double pupils.

He harbors many secrets, and many forces are watching him closely. As both an enemy and a friend, the Zhulu Academy naturally pays close attention to him as well.

Especially at this sensitive time.

"Alas, rumors have already spread that the sacrificial spirit of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is about to reach the end of its life. If this is true, then there will surely be another bloody storm."

"In addition, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has produced two prodigies this time, Black Tiger Daoist Li Zizai and Shi Hao. Those guys won't give them a chance to grow."

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of War's expression turned unusually solemn.

The purpose of their visit is to investigate whether the spirit sacrifice of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is indeed nearing its end, as the outside world has said. If the news is true, they must be prepared.

"I wonder if it's a blessing or a curse for those two prodigies to show their talents at this time."

The female war goddess also felt a little sad. When she first met Li Dao, she only thought of him as a talented young man. She never expected that after just one trip to Baiduan Mountain, his reputation would spread throughout the world.

If given the chance, she would like to persuade Li Dao to attend Zhulu Academy, but she doesn't hold out much hope.

Just as the two were talking, disciples from the Butian Pavilion led them to the Dao Performance Platform.

The disciples from both sides who are to exchange ideas are also ready.

"Sister is finally here. How are you? Are you getting used to staying at my Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

The female warrior looked in the direction the sound came from and immediately saw Xia Youyu, who was gentle and dignified with a faint smile on her face. A glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Little sister, your improvement in strength is truly something that I can only look up to!"

Xia Youyu was dressed in a plain white robe. She was somewhat thin, but her aura clearly indicated that she had reached the late stage of the Spirit Transformation realm.

Hearing her words, Xia Youyu smiled slightly and said calmly:

"I've only barely kept up with you, sister. I only came out of seclusion today after hearing of your arrival. I hope you won't blame me."

The female war goddess simply waved her hand, still feeling touched, sensing the aura that hadn't been completely concealed from him, which was clearly just as she had said.

However, just as the two women were chatting and laughing happily, the battle on the stage began as arranged by the elder.

Chapter 131 Tuoba

On the platform, accompanied by several clanging sounds of metal, a disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion flew out.

bang——

The disciple of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion crashed heavily to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. A soft hissing sound slowly drifted out from the dust.

"waste!"

"It's truly disappointing that such a noble place only has these lowlifes."

The disciple of Butian Pavilion, who was lying on the ground, was helped up. Upon hearing these words, his face instantly turned red, and he glared angrily at the stage.

A man dressed in a magnificent golden robe, with a tall hair crown on his head and holding a long spear, arrogantly patted his sleeves.

These words were spoken softly, but those nearby, all possessing cultivation, turned to look at Tuoba Chuan on the stage.

Even the elders of the Butian Pavilion, who were sitting cross-legged on the high platform, opened their indifferent eyes.

Xia Youyu and her companion, who had been conversing, frowned slightly. The female war goddess spoke coldly:

"Tuoba Chuan, we've only come here to exchange ideas and skills, so let's not go too far."

Xia Youyu, who was about to get angry, understood why the person on the stage did what he did after hearing the name 'Tuoba'.

The Butian Pavilion and the Tuoba family are sworn enemies. In ancient times, the sacrificial spirit vine killed the Tuoba family's sacrificial spirit, thus beginning their feud.

As a member of the Tuoba family, the actions of the person on the stage are understandable.

However, no matter how reasonable it may seem, saying such things in front of the Butian Pavilion disciples below the stage made their eyes blaze with anger.

However, Tuoba Chuan, standing on the stage, felt the piercing gazes coming from all directions, and couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth, beckoning his finger towards the direction of the Butian Pavilion disciples, which was quite arrogant.

"Hmph, I'll test your mettle and see what makes you so bold as to say such things!"

From the location of the Butian Pavilion disciples, a young man also wielding a long spear, the tip of which dragged on the ground, leaving a trail of sparks, charged towards Tuoba Chuan.

hiss hiss hiss—

With a single, powerful strike, the battle began, and in an instant, the two were locked in a fierce fight.

However, not long after, the disciples of the Butian Pavilion were also swept away.

"Hmph, if you don't have the strength, then just stay down there and guard the battlefield. This isn't a battlefield where you can control everything with just a lot of enthusiasm!"

Tuoba Chuan's disdainful gaze swept over all the disciples of Butian Pavilion. In his eyes, these guys were nothing but mediocre people who had cultivated for so long and were still such good-for-nothings.

Several more disciples from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion went up, but they were all defeated, and their momentum immediately waned.

laugh--

Tuoba Chuan deflected a woman's spear with a single thrust, a playful glint in his eyes. He then twirled his spear, its cold light flashing as he aimed for the woman's sash.

A lewd glint flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself:

"You can't actually kill someone, but if you were to be naked and exposed in front of so many people, it would be enough to break your resolve!"

Before the female disciple of Butian Pavilion, whose longsword had been knocked away, could react, she saw the spear tip coming towards her and was instantly frozen in place.

His face turned deathly pale, especially after feeling Tuoba Chuan's lewd gaze, his unease grew stronger.

Ding--

However, just as the spear was about to sever the woman's sash, two crystal-clear, jade-like fingers firmly clamped the spear tip in mid-air.

"what?!"

Tuoba Chuan's smile froze, and the two female war goddesses who were about to intervene stopped. The elder of the Butian Pavilion closed his eyes again and ignored them.

"It was just a friendly sparring session. To do such a despicable thing, it seems there was a reason why your ancestors were wiped out back then."

Before anyone knew it, Li Dao appeared on the platform, and with a gentle exertion of his fingertips.

Tuoba Chuan felt a powerful force strike him, which immediately jolted him out of his daze, and he tried to retreat rapidly.

ka ka ka-

Just as he was about to draw his spear and leave, cracks instantly spread all over the spear, and in the blink of an eye, the spear turned into dust and disappeared into the air.

Tread-

Tuoba Chuan stomped heavily on the ground, released his grip on the spear, and retreated rapidly, his arm trembling uncontrollably.
