Chapter 189 Confrontation and Fierce Fighting
When Ming Weiyan saw the glittering sword light coming down, he laughed loudly and said, "Come on." He did not even avoid it, but stretched out his hand. Endless clouds condensed under his hand and formed a palm shape. The clouds were thick and heavy, and the white jade was flawless, like a jade mountain range.
The most amazing thing was that the lines on the white jade palm were clear, as if it was a real palm, but when you look at it again, it is clearly the mysterious text of the scriptures, accompanied by mysterious sounds and mysterious light, as if the Taoist ancestor was preaching. The magic power has not arrived, but the mental oppression has already arrived. Ordinary cultivators would not even have the thought of resisting this move.
The white jade palm swept out and took the sword light head-on. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone in Yunya Mountain focused their eyes on it.
There was no violent collision as everyone imagined. After the white jade palm and the brilliant sword light came into contact, they stopped there directly. They were evenly matched. The palm could not move forward an inch, and the sword light could not press down an inch.
Wu Yi and other junior disciples could not see the danger, but the Yuanying Zhenren above the extreme sky was clear about it. The current situation was because both sides controlled every bit of their strength perfectly, without wasting any strength, otherwise the energy would be scattered.
Although it seems that they are evenly matched now, there is endless spiritual energy being consumed every moment, and both sides are infusing a lot of spiritual energy, which is why the current situation is similar to a balance. Once one side is slightly lacking in spiritual energy, the other side will press forward with great momentum and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Hua Jianling and Ming Weiyan are only at the Jindan level, so this situation cannot last long. If it is a fight between the Dongtian Shangzhen, this state will even last for several years, so the time they fight is generally calculated in years.
However, both of them were outstanding among people, with rich Dansha, and both were Jindan three-level cultivators. This state was maintained for an hour or so. This result disappointed those disciples with low cultivation and who could not see the danger. They preferred those battles with flying magic and flashing spiritual light. Many disciples even said privately that Hua Jianling and Ming Weiyan were stalling for time.
Wu Yi was also very annoyed by this situation. He could not see who had the upper hand, but fortunately he was standing behind a group of Yuanying Zhenren.
Yuanying Zhenren commented on the wonderful things. Wu Yi listened to the words of Yuanying Zhenren and knew a little bit. Following the words of Zhenren, his thoughts were much smoother. Wu Yi could even deduce it by himself with Taiyi Shenshu.
Zhi Tianxuan, who had divided part of his mind behind him, sensed this scene and nodded secretly. Wu Yi did not disappoint him. It was worth it that he had pointed out the subtle changes that appeared when Hua Jianling and Ming Weiyan fought.
For the foundation-building cultivators, even if Zhi Tianxuan pointed out the subtle changes when the two fought, they could not see it, but Wu Yi was different. He could calculate it with the help of the art of calculation after practicing the Taiyi Divine Numbers.
Wu Yi comprehended the Dao of the Great Dao of Tranquility, which was different from the origin of the Great Dao such as gold, wood, water, fire and earth. It was difficult for him to significantly improve his strength. Unlike those cultivators who comprehended the origin of the Great Dao, as long as they practiced their own Dao, their cultivation would be improved by leaps and bounds.
Therefore, those cultivators who comprehended the origin of the Great Dao always looked down on those who comprehended the non-origin of the Great Dao, and denounced them as unorthodox ways. However, Zhi Tianxuan did not think so. The three thousand great ways were indispensable, and there was no difference between high and low.
The so-called origin of the Great Dao was just the manifest Dao, which was the Dao that ordinary people saw and heard. The non-origin of the Great Dao was the hidden Dao, which was not known to the public.
A most common stone may be composed of the Great Dao of Earth, but if the Great Dao of Solidity is missing, the stone will not be a stone and will be scattered into a ball of yellow sand. The Great Dao of Earth alone cannot form a stone.
Therefore, the Great Dao of Origin is sometimes called the Real Dao, and the Great Dao of Non-Origin is called the Virtual Dao. Compared with the previous name of the side door, the name of the Virtual Dao is undoubtedly more neutral.
People who practice the Real Dao are like building a tall building on flat ground. Every brick and tile is cultivated by themselves. Although it is slow, it is effective, and they can watch the tall building being built day by day. The cultivators who practice the Virtual Dao are like painting a picture. Although it is beautiful and spectacular, it is very difficult to create it.
One is down-to-earth, and the other has long-term considerations. It is hard to say who will build the tall building first in the end. It all depends on the disciple's own fate.
Wu Yi is still in a very low-level state. He can't even conceive a picture, let alone take shape in the future. What Zhi Tianxuan is pushing now is to let Wu Yi learn to think and use his own Dao rhyme.
With the characteristics of the Dao rhyme of the Great Way of Tranquility that Wu Yi comprehended, it is very difficult to influence the outside world, at least with Wu Yi's current understanding of the Dao rhyme, he cannot do it. Even if he can influence it, it will only affect some mortals or low-level cultivators, but it is okay to calm his mind and calm his restlessness.
This seemingly useless effect is a treasure in Zhi Tianxuan's eyes. At least his successor must be a disciple who is meticulous and devoted.
Like other members of the Zhi clan, Zhi Tianxuan also practiced the method of the Zhanyan School at the beginning, but the Zhanyan School needs to calculate the fate of a domain in order to reach the Tongming Realm (equivalent to the Dongtian Realm of the Inner Alchemy School).
This involves all aspects of human affairs and destiny. Compared with Bai Ze's exploration of other people's privacy, this matter is more disliked by other cultivators, and secret suppression is inevitable. Therefore, although the Zhanyan School is known as one of the five major schools, its status is not high. Except for the Zhi clan, which has to practice due to the ancestral precepts, other disciples have never practiced this method.
The main reason why Zhi Tianxuan turned against the Zhi family was that he abandoned the divination and practiced the inner alchemy, destroying the ancestral teachings. Of course, there are many other reasons, which will not be mentioned here for the time being.
There are a lot of disciples with calm minds in Yiqimen, but Zhi Tianxuan doesn't trust them. For cultivators, only the great way is eternal, and other personalities will change. Zhi Tianxuan is unwilling to recruit such a successor.
However, there are few cultivators who have comprehended the virtual way, and there are even fewer cultivators who have comprehended the Dao rhyme of the great way of tranquility or similar Dao rhyme. Zhi Tianxuan once cultivated disciples with such personalities and asked them to copy historical records, but in the end, no one persisted.
Just when Zhi Tianxuan felt that his own Dao lineage was about to be cut off, Wu Yi suddenly appeared. Although Zhi Tianxuan usually spoke coldly to Wu Yi and looked indifferent, Zhi Tianxuan actually had great expectations for Wu Yi, and Wu Yi could also feel the teachings along the way.
The Dao rhythm of the Great Dao of Silence combined with the Dao of Calculation is a perfect match. Wu Yi, who was in a psychic state, became more and more proficient in using the Taiyi Divine Numbers. Gradually, even if Zhi Tianxuan did not say it, Wu Yi could see the subtle changes in the process of the two people's spiritual energy consumption and growth, and even went a step further and deduced it.
After a confrontation for an hour or so, Ming Weiyan and Hua Jianling were already exhausted. Although they were cultivators, they also ooze out fine beads of sweat. This fragile balance was about to be broken.
"Boom boom--" The white jade palm shattered from the outermost layer, like an avalanche, the palm scattered, and boundless spiritual energy surged out. A spiritual rain instantly formed in the ground below, and even the disciples watching the battle more than ten miles away could feel a gust of wind coming.
And the swordsmanship magic that Hua Jianling evolved remained relatively intact, and even slowly slashed down towards Ming Weiyan, which seemed to be slightly better than him.
But the giant sword exploded within a moment after it fell. However, compared with Ming Weiyan's white jade palm, the giant sword did not turn into the most basic spiritual energy, but broke into pieces. The largest piece of the fragment still fell towards Ming Weiyan.
Although it was a fragment, it was also several feet in size. The sharp and boundless sword intent was not reduced, enough to tear apart any cultivator below the Jindan level.
When the giant sword fragments fell, Ming Weiyan did not dodge. A cloud of smoke rose in front of him, as light as a feather, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind. But when the giant sword fragments fell, they were repelled far away and fell on the ground. The sharp sword energy tore through countless rocks and trees, and the small animals that could not dodge in time were turned into minced meat in an instant.
Other small fragments also left small pits on the ground. Some fragments almost hit the disciples who were close to them. It was only after some Jindan real people took action that these fragments were broken.
Ming Weiyan's spiritual energy slowly passed through his body, and all the sweat beads disappeared. He returned to his original elegant appearance, but his eyes looking at Hua Jianling were much more solemn.
Thirty years ago, when the ten great disciples were competing, Hua Jianling was not as good as him in terms of Dansha power, but now the two of them were evenly matched in terms of Dansha power.
How did Hua Jianling do it? Ming Weiyan couldn't help but feel puzzled. He didn't believe that the difference in the quality of the finished pills could be so easily eliminated.
Hua Jianling must have used the treasure given to him by Dongtian Shangzhen again. Ming Weiyan's eyes showed a fierce look, and he looked down on Hua Jianling even more.
Although it was prejudice, Ming Weiyan guessed half right this time. Hua Jianling relied on a magic weapon, the Nahai bottle, which was nurtured in his dantian, to fight Ming Weiyan, who was a first-grade Dan.
The reason why it was only half right was that the Nahai bottle was not given to Hua Jianling by Dongtian Shangzhen, but was a magic weapon obtained by Hua Jianling when he killed a demon king during his training in the outer sea. It should be considered as Hua Jianling's own strength.
Ming Weiyan thought to himself: Let's see how many times you can use this magic weapon. A hand grasped in the air, and with lightning speed, it grabbed Hua Jianling. It was a common magical skill. There was no mystery, but it was impeccable because it was common. If you couldn't avoid it, you could only take it head-on.
"Brother, have you learned these little tricks in the past few decades? If so," Hua Jianling said loudly, with disdain, "Break it for me."
As soon as the voice fell, a golden and white light flashed from nowhere. Everyone saw the cold light flash, and the innate one-qi grabbing hand was split into two halves, and the magical power was broken.
The two had lost most of their spiritual energy before, so they focused on a quick battle. The excitement of the scene attracted the disciples who watched to make a tsunami-like sound from time to time, which went straight to the sky.
The other disciples were happy, but Wu Yi was depressed. He had previously arrogantly believed that he could see through the battle between the Jindan Zhenren. As the battle between Hua Jianling and Ming Weiyan intensified, Wu Yi could not even catch their figures, let alone see through them.
The reason why Wu Yi could see through and even predict the progress of the battle between the two was that Ming Weiyan and Hua Jianling were in a relatively static state during the confrontation, with few variables, and it was not difficult to do it with a little care.
It seems that I still need to practice this art of calculation! Wu Yi made up his mind secretly.
