Chapter 683 True Transmission Forty-Nine, One Dao Child

"The battle for the Dao Child will begin in a year. You must be fully prepared, as only one person can become the Dao Child. Once you miss it, you will have to wait two Jiazi."

The young Taoist priest Jinli spoke with an air of maturity.

He did not return to Baiyujing, but remained in the palace.

Under the guise of urging Li Rui to prepare for battle, so as not to embarrass his master.

But Cui He knew.

The little fish demon found Baiyujing too boring and wanted to stay at the foot of the mountain for a while longer.

“Fellow Daoist Koi is right.”

Li Rui chuckled.

He has decided to compete for the position of Daozi.

Becoming an inner disciple might be a conspiracy, and being cautious about the true lineage might have ulterior motives, but the Dao Child must be pure, because it concerns the inheritance of an immortal sect.

The reason why Pei Yao and Liu Taxing faced such hardships after joining Baiyujing was that their identities were actually irrelevant to Baiyujing.

But Daozi is different.

If Daozi was scheming, then this sect would probably be rotten to the core long ago.

But Baiyujing was at the height of its prosperity.

Those two Dao Lords would never allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, becoming a Dao Child is an excellent life-saving charm!
Not only that, he could also enjoy the resources of the entire Baiyujing, truly transcending social classes.

There is no reason why we should not contend with each other.

He concealed his talents to prepare for a crisis, not to avoid good fortune altogether.

Moreover, timing is very important.

Now his combat power is enough to contend with the late-stage Celestial Realm cultivators, and he also has Jiang Linxian's support, making his situation vastly different from Pei Yao's.

It seemed to be meant to motivate Li Rui.

The koi-shaped Taoist boy continued, "In the past five hundred years, there have been four Taoist disciples, but only three remain today, because my True Lord attained the position of True Lord from the position of Taoist disciple."

As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face.

"There are four true disciples of Baiyujing, but only one Daozi."

"Those who can become Daozi are the most outstanding among the younger generation in Baiyujing back then."

"Say it again."

"Daozi is no longer a disciple and can open his own cave dwelling. He no longer has a master, or rather, the master is those two Dao Lords."

The koi-shaped Taoist priest said a lot.

There's really only one core concept.

Daozi's status was truly very high.

The koi-shaped Taoist priest sighed again: "You're also unlucky. You've caught up with a once-in-five-thousand-years great era. Not only in the cultivation world, but even the young guys in Baiyujing are all more domineering than the last."

“Otherwise, if it were five hundred years ago, with your ability to prove the Dao through force, you would almost certainly have become a Daoist. But now, it's not necessarily the case.”

"No one mentions Yan Kong."

"Take Liu Qing for example. He has only been cultivating for sixty years, yet he has managed to break into the top 100 of the Heavenly Secrets Record. In the past, he would have been the undisputed number one disciple."

"Yan Kong is an even bigger freak."

The image of Yan Kong dominating the peak flashed through Li Rui's mind.

He felt no nervousness, but rather a surge of pride.

Live long enough.

He finally reached the level of the top geniuses in Taihua Prefecture.

Moreover, this is a perfect opportunity for him to boost his ranking.

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Li Rui, along with the young Taoist priest, Cui He, and Pei Yao, arrived at Baiyujing in a flying boat.

This time, there are young Taoist disciples present.

Naturally, they reside on Jianhe Peak, where Jiang Linxian lives.

Jianhe Peak is second only to the two Daojun Peaks in height, and Li Rui lives in a villa at the foot of the mountain.

As for Jiang Linxian...

The young Taoist said he was in seclusion, so the two of them probably wouldn't be able to meet.

The debate over the Daoist masters is imminent.

Li Rui also did not plan to go down the mountain, so as to avoid attracting unnecessary consequences.

This day.

He was practicing his meditation in the courtyard when someone knocked on the gate.

I opened the door and saw the old Taoist priest Honen standing there.

"Senior, why are you here?"

The old Taoist priest, Honen, walked into the courtyard and said with a smile, "I heard that you were going to participate in the competition for the title of Dao Child, so I thought I'd come and join in the fun."

"You are indeed very fortunate. It's only because True Monarch Jianhe is powerful enough that it wouldn't be easy for someone like you, a wanderer of the world, to get a spot to participate."

"The last person to participate in the Daoist competition as a wandering figure was a thousand years ago."

Li Rui: "It's all thanks to True Lord Jianhe."

The old Taoist priest said, "Actually, I also participated in the competition for the Dao Child back then."

"Oh?"

Li Rui immediately became interested.

"Unfortunately, I ran into True Lord Jianhe. I really used every means at my disposal, but in the end I still lost."

Not bad.

Honen was actually of the same generation as Kenkawa Shinjun.

However, because he failed to comprehend the immortal energy and could not attain the status of a true lord, he remained in a state of distraction.

Meanwhile, True Lord Jianhe rose through the ranks and became the number one person after Dao Lord Baiyujing.

"Senior, it's truly a pity."

Li Rui echoed.

But it was also from the heart.

The old Daoist Fa Ran has comprehended the Great Dao of Time, which is no less than that of those Saint Bodies. It was only because he encountered a freak like True Monarch Jianhe that he could have become a Dao Child.

"What a pity, they're just not as skilled."

“True Lord Jianhe used his strength to break through all laws, and with his three thousand divine swords, he broke my Great Dao of Time. I am completely convinced of my defeat.”

The old Taoist priest had a dazed look in his eyes, as if he was recalling the battle that day.

“This batch of kids are all ridiculously strong. I know you’re no pushover either, but it’s always good to be extra careful.”

But then he thought of something else.

My reminder was completely unnecessary.

Don't let his young age fool you; he's as cautious as any old monster.

The old Taoist priest slowly extended his palm.

With palms facing upwards, a seven-colored divine light then appeared.

“I know your talent, but there’s nothing I can do to help you. How much you can comprehend the Great Dao of Time depends on your own destiny.”

Li Rui did not tell the old Daoist Fa Ran that he had already secretly learned the Great Dao of Time and had already become fertilizer for the Purple Mansion.

But the old man's actions warmed his heart.

There are still more good people than bad in the spiritual community.

Three days later.

The debate over the Daoist masters has finally begun.

The location was chosen to be the Ascension Platform in the very center of Baiyujing Immortal Island, to show the importance attached to the Daoist.

There are only five spots available in this competition for the title of Daozi.

The rest of the true masters could only become spectators.

Li Rui was neither the first nor the last to appear; he stepped onto the Ascension Platform before it was completely surrounded by Baiyujing disciples.

He also spotted the Azure Phoenix Fairy in the crowd.

The competition for the Daozi (Taoist disciple) is not only a selection process, but also an excellent opportunity to publicly demonstrate that Baiyujing (White Jade Capital) has a worthy successor.

Therefore, major powers will be invited to attend the ceremony.

The elders of Fairy Qingluan were among those invited to the ceremony, and she even brought Jiang Yan along.

soon.

Five figures gathered on the Ascension Platform.

Then a middle-aged Taoist priest, who seemed like an immortal, floated down and landed at the highest point of the Ascension Platform.

This person is the True Lord Fufeng of Baiyujing.

Yes.

A true lord presided over the ceremony.

This clearly demonstrates the importance Bai Yujing attached to it.

Then the elder shouted, "The battle for the Dao Child begins!"
