"Guangcheng Zi's one kind of supernatural ability was broken by the Heavenly Lord at the beginning. In addition to demonstrating the profoundness of Heavenly Lord's power and directly crushing the cultivation level of Marquis Golden Immortal, this also has something to do with the instability of the foundation of Guangcheng Zi's cultivation of this ability."
"Supernatural abilities cultivated normally, such as Yang Jie's eight-nine Xuan Gong, are completely integrated with themselves. How can they be broken so easily?"
With just one move, the Heavenly Lord displayed the enormous gap between the Marquis-level Saint and the Great Golden Immortal.
"Uncle, it's better not to resist." He grabbed Guangcheng Zi's wrist with one hand, and his first feeling was that it was cold, like the ice of an extremely cold land. The kind of coldness was so deep-rooted that it penetrated into one's marrow. The second feeling was that the sense of touch was wrong. Was he holding a living person? How could it be like holding a piece of stone? "
The Heavenly Lord did not believe that the other party had the ability to use illusion techniques under his nose. His Saint-level awareness was as domineering as a sword, striking like lightning and before one could hear, it struck at Guangcheng Zi's soul.
With this close-range contact, he had already seen the location of the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc. No matter how he dealt with it later, for now, he would seize it first and worry about the rest later.
His method was very primitive, while Guangcheng Zi's response was chaotic.
Suddenly, a mysterious ripple, like a cobra, suddenly wound around the Heavenly Lord's consciousness. The two invisible things entangled together. After that, the mysterious ripple was like an afflicting bone disease and turned around to dominate this powerful consciousness. It swept outwards in all directions with him and the Heavenly Lord at its center.
Struck by his own consciousness, the Heavenly Lord felt a flash before his eyes, and in a moment, he was transported from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to a world of black and white.
From the outlines of the surroundings, it seems that he is now located in the middle of a mountain, with a river in front of him, mountains behind him, and trees on both sides. However, at this time, all things lack the changes of the five elements and are presented in front of him in an abnormal monochromatic black and white.
He made out very clearly that his original body was still in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but his consciousness had been transported here by Guangcheng Zi using some kind of mysterious divine power combined with his own consciousness projection.
Just as he was about to take a closer look at the mysteries of this space, find a weakness, and return to his original body, a short and chubby figure suddenly burst out from the ground on his side.
The sword light was like a thunderbolt, combining the tenacity of the Daoist and the fearlessness of the Buddhist. As soon as it was released, there was no turning back, and it was incredibly fast and rapid.
The short and chubby figure seemed to have been hiding underground for a long time, and the moment it broke through the ground was its final attack.
"Ju Liusun?" Although the appearance could not be seen, with his super strong spiritual awareness, the Heavenly Lord was still able to discern the true identity of this short and chubby figure. Now there were not a few immortals who practiced both Buddhism and Taoism, but those who combined Yiquing cultivation with Buddhist methods were rare. This person was dark, short, and fat, so it could not be the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara. That left only one other possibility.
Facing a fierce thrust that had been built up for a long time, the Heavenly Lord could still leisurely observe, think, and weigh his options. It was not that he was arrogant, but the gap between them was too great. Even if he built up a big move to surprise attack, it wouldn't be effective.
The Heavenly Lord furrowed his brow. Although he didn't have the abundant and fantastical works like Moonlight and Phoenix to spark his imagination, his knowledge was still rich. In an instant, he clarified most of the situation, and without hesitation, he reached out and gently tapped the side of Ju Liusun's sword blade. While the chubby figure stepped back, he pulled his consciousness out of this black-and-white world and returned to his original body.
At the same time.
Even though Fenghuang was hiding behind a pillar, she didn't manage to avoid the wide-range divine light scan launched by Guangcheng Zi, assisted by the Heavenly Lord's consciousness. In fact, not only Fenghuang but also the ministers and officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, nearly all of them were scanned. Even Lei Zhenzi and Ran Deng, who were former expounds of the Xuanji faction, were spared.
The light was moving too fast, and with the enhancement of the mysterious ripples, the domineering killing power in the Heavenly Lord's consciousness was neutralized, appearing quite ordinary. Fenghuang's premonitions, intuitions, and spiritual senses as a chaotic divine beast were completely useless. In a moment of distraction, she also fell into the same black-and-white world as the Heavenly Lord. In this world was a chubby figure hiding underground, waiting for a long time before revealing her presence and launching a deadly attack.
At this time, if viewed from a higher perspective, one would find that this sword strike by Ju Liusun is even more fierce than the one aimed at the Heavenly Lord. This is because there is a cause and effect relationship between them, which unconsciously allows "this" Ju Liusun to demonstrate his level of ten times higher. This matter is neither small nor big, it can be considered a test for Phoenix.
Fenghuang was at least a Golden Immortal higher than Ju Liusun, who had been reduced to an ordinary being, consuming Jiuzhuan Jin Dan, refining the Xuanji school's doctrines, and later practicing both Buddhism and Taoism. Ju Liusun's foundation was extremely flimsy, posing little threat to Fenghuang.
Faced with the fierce offensive, Fenghuang wanted to counterattack in the first instant. As she raised her hand, hundreds of thoughts collided with each other, realizing the profound intention behind Guangcheng Zi's move. Though she didn't fully understand the principles involved, she still made the same choice as the Heavenly Lord—kicking Ju Liusun away with a kick and then pulling her consciousness back into her own body.
The Heavenly Lord and Fenghuang could make the correct choices at crucial moments, not because they were particularly wise or calm, but simply because their cultivation was higher. A large difference in cultivation levels makes it nearly impossible for them to be reversed. They were able to leisurely retreat safely because others couldn't; even a Golden Immortal like Ju Liusun was already above their level.
Taibai Jinshi was a genuine Golden Immortal. He was not only clever but also particularly valuable for his life. Fenghuang's first instinct upon seeing Ju Liusun was to attack head-on, while the old man thought about saving his life. In fact, he left the black-and-white world before Fenghuang did by a hair's breadth.
Renguang was a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to attack Ju Liusun fiercely. He also managed to escape with his life and didn't suffer any injuries, managing to survive a direct kill from a Golden Immortal.
The Tortoise Saintess, however, wasn't as fortunate. Unlike Renguang, she didn't have the same foundation. Many disciples of the Juejiao faction had the habit of using heavenly treasures and rare resources as soon as they acquired them, transforming them into their own strength. This line of thought isn't necessarily wrong, but without savings, she couldn't quickly restore her strength like Renguang could. Now she could barely reach the level of True Immortal.
The True Immortal was no match for Ju Liusun, the Golden Immortal. The Tortoise Saintess was pierced through the abdomen with a sword, but she was fierce enough to take a heavy blow on Ju Liusun's forehead with her palm, despite her serious injuries.
In the Heavenly Court, nearly all of the officials couldn't avoid Ju Liusun's sudden attack hidden underground. Some retreated quickly, while others didn't even see who was attacking them, jumping up to defend themselves reflexively.
At the same time, the Tortoise Saintess's palm strike, Lei Zhenzi's Iron Rod of Lightning Fire, Wen Zhu's Steel Whip, and even the Julei God's chariot-sized axe all landed on Ju Liusun.
In the first breath, the Heavenly Lord grasped Guangcheng Zi's wrist. In the second breath, all the officials of the Heavenly Court were transported to that black-and-white world. By the third breath, they all returned to the Heavenly Court together.
