Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 16 Sword Fighting (Please Collect)
Soon, auspicious clouds appeared in the sky above Mount Buzhou, with a Taoist priest standing on each of them, their eyes all falling on Taoist priests Shangqing and Chunyang in the audience.

"Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since I last discussed Dao with you. I've long wanted to see if you've made any significant progress in your Xiantian Pure Yang Sword Dao!"

As he spoke, the Taoist Shangqing had a serious expression, and a green light flashed around his body, revealing the three flowers of his primordial spirit. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, a three-foot green sword emerged, and streams of innate sword energy shot up into the sky, filled with immortal light, and with an unparalleled sharpness. It was indeed a supreme sword weapon, overflowing with murderous intent.

"I also want to see how your sword skills have improved over the years!"

A golden light flashed around the Taoist Priest Chunyang, and the three flowers of his primordial spirit also appeared. Above the half-acre-sized auspicious cloud, the innate spiritual treasure Chunyang Sword was hanging high, and bursts of innate Chunyang sword energy overflowed and rushed into the sky. Golden light was everywhere, righteous and majestic, and pure Yang to the extreme.

The strange visions revealed by the two covered an area of ​​tens of millions of miles. The green sword energy and the golden sword energy collided with each other, emitting supreme divine power.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" Taoist Shangqing let out a long roar and waved his hand to summon the Qingping Sword from the Three Flowers of the Yuanshen into his palm. He swung out a stream of sword flowers, generating boundless sword energy that shattered the white clouds in the sky and transformed it into a jade-colored sword light that rushed towards Taoist Chunyang. "Fellow Daoist, please appreciate this poor Taoist Qingping Sword!"

The Qingping Sword of the Taoist Shangqing looks plain and simple, with a restrained divine light, yet it is very mysterious, as if it is between the innate and the acquired.

It is neither an innate sword nor the result of acquired sacrifice and refinement. It is extremely strange.

"Fellow Daoist Shangqing's Qingping Sword!"

Above the void, the cloud lights of Li Xuanyang, Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and Zhu Long gathered together.

Among them, Hong Yun saw the Qingping Sword that Shangqing Taoist took out, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, saying: "Could it be an innate sword?"

"This Qingping Sword is not an innate sword, but a magical tool for achieving enlightenment by fellow Taoist Shangqing." A hint of surprise flashed across Zhulong's eyes. He never thought that Taoist Shangqing actually possessed a magical tool for achieving enlightenment. No wonder Taoist Xuanyang praised the Three Purities so much when he mentioned them.

Now it seems that these Three Pure Ones are truly extraordinary and are definitely not ordinary people with great supernatural powers.

The tool for achieving enlightenment!

Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi frowned, as if they heard it for the first time.

Only Li Xuanyang showed a look of understanding. He said, "The Daoist artifact you mentioned is the Dao-attaining artifact, is it the Dao-attaining artifact?"

"It is the magical instrument for attaining enlightenment." Zhulong looked at Li Xuanyang deeply and said, "Those of us with great supernatural powers have reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian. The three flowers have already appeared simultaneously and our cultivation is complete."

"If I want to advance my Dao cultivation further at this moment, I can only follow my own Dao path and refine a Dao-enabling magical instrument to build my Dao foundation."

Even though Zhulong is not a powerful Qigong practitioner, he is more knowledgeable than most people in the field.

"May I ask fellow Daoist Zhulong, how should we sacrifice and refine it into a Taoist artifact?" Hongyun asked impatiently. He and Zhenyuanzi had already achieved the Three Flowers Perfection, and their Taoist skills and magical powers had reached the point where they could not make any further progress and had no way forward.

When he heard Zhulong mention the magical instrument for achieving enlightenment, he naturally couldn't help himself.

"It is difficult to refine it into a Taoist magic weapon, but it is also easy to do."

Zhulong pointed at the Qingping Sword of the Shangqing Taoist in the field and said, "As long as it is an innate spiritual treasure or innate spiritual object that suits one's own path, it will be fine. Or it can be a spiritual object of good fortune like the Qingping Sword in the hands of the Shangqing Taoist."

A spiritual creature of creation!

Li Xuanyang became thoughtful. It was said that the Three Pure Ones once encountered a blue innate twelve-grade lotus on Mount Buzhou. It was called the innate twelve-grade blue lotus of creation. It was the chaotic blue lotus that was broken when the great god Pangu opened up the ancient world.

Four of the lotus seeds fell into the ancient world and eventually evolved into four innate lotus flowers. The innate twelfth-grade green lotus of creation was one of them.

Taoist Taiqing plucked the white lotus root of the innate twelve-grade green lotus of creation and turned it into a flat crutch as a magic tool for achieving enlightenment.

Taoist Yuqing picked the red flower and turned it into the Taoist magic tool Sanbao Jade Ruyi.

Taoist Shangqing plucked the green lotus leaf and turned it into the Qingping Sword, the magical tool for achieving enlightenment, in front of him.

This is how the red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves of later generations came into being, showing that the three religions are actually one family.

"Innate spiritual treasure or innate spiritual object!" Hong Yun smiled bitterly. Innate spiritual treasure and innate spiritual object are extremely rare. They have to be consistent with one's own path, making them even more difficult to find.

Speaking of which, he couldn't help but feel a little envious of Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi's companion spiritual treasure, the Book of Earth, was obviously very suitable to be a magical tool for achieving enlightenment.

Regarding this, Li Xuanyang planned to let nature take its course and refine it into a Taoist artifact. This was different from when he refined the Moon-Swallowing Soul-Devouring Sword, which could not be forced.

If one blindly forces opportunity, one will only fall behind, and by the time one realizes it, there will be no chance to regret. A dharma instrument of enlightenment can be practiced without regret.

What's more, he has the innate spiritual treasure Liang Yi Lamp, which contains the innate Liang Yi law. As long as he evolves the Xuan Yang Taoism to the extreme and uses the pure Yin method as an introduction, he can achieve the true Yang extreme to produce Yin, and use this to comprehend the innate Liang Yi Tao. At that time, he can completely use the Liang Yi Lamp as a magical tool to achieve Taoism.

As they were talking, they saw countless sword energies emanating from the Qingping Sword in the hands of Taoist Shangqing. A jade-green sword light rolled up boundless evil spirit, causing the surrounding space to shatter into pieces, creating a sea of ​​sword energy, which was about to fall towards Taoist Chunyang with the broken fragments of space.

"Come on!" The eyes of the Taoist Chunyang flashed, and he swung the Chunyang Sword in his hand, shooting out a sword light of extreme pure Yang, which spread out in the air for a thousand miles, sweeping towards the ocean of sword energy of the Taoist Shangqing, like a pure Yang painting. Wherever it passed, golden sword energy was everywhere, and evil spirits were everywhere.

In an instant, the two sword lights collided with each other, and with a loud bang, the void within a radius of ten thousand miles was completely shattered, and the earth, wind, water, fire, and chaotic energy raged.

The two of them broke the ancient space with just a flash of sword light. Their magical powers were truly astonishing, and their attainments in swordsmanship were unparalleled.

The Qingping Sword and the Chunyang Sword are truly the most precious treasures of swordsmanship.

"Haha, fellow Taoist's innate Pure Yang swordsmanship has indeed improved greatly." Taoist Shangqing couldn't help but laugh, and with a flick of the Qingping sword in his hand, countless sword auras emerged. His body and the sword merged together, transforming into a jade-green sword light that broke through the void.

Along the way, the color of the sword light became more and more intense, like a blazing blue sun, filled with sword energy, extremely dazzling. Even Li Xuanyang and other powerful people who were watching the battle could not help but cast their protective divine light to protect themselves.

"This sword is learned from the thunder method, so be careful, fellow Taoist." After saying this, the Taoist Shangqing muttered to himself, and the Qingping sword in his hand danced faster and faster. Almost at the same time, a ray of lightning appeared out of thin air. It was the magical power of the Taoist Shangqing, the Shangqing Immortal Thunder.

The next moment, the green lightning combined with the Qingping Sword. The thunder gave rise to the sword's power, and the sword increased with thunder's might. The power of the Qingping Sword and the Shangqing Immortal Thunder gathered and combined, revealing a trace of the power inherited from the great god Pangu, which was indeed infinite divine power.

It can be said that this is the result of the integration of the sword art and supernatural powers of the Shangqing Taoist. The Shangqing Immortal Thunder is used to derive the sword art, and the Shangqing Immortal Thunder is then derived from the sword art. The cycle continues endlessly, and he almost uses all his strength in one strike.

The attainments of the Taoist priest Chunyang in swordsmanship are almost on par with the Taoist priest Shangqing, and both have reached the pinnacle.

At this moment, he saw the Qingping Sword of the Shangqing Taoist combined with the lightning, carrying countless thunders rushing towards him. As the Qingping Sword was swung, endless sword energy and thunder spread out, sweeping across the vast void.

Taoist Chunyang had a solemn expression on his face. He took a deep breath, and the Chunyang Sword in his hand rang out. The golden innate Pure Yang divine light around his body shot up into the sky, drawing down boundless innate spiritual energy. He ignited it with the innate Pure Yang divine light, transforming it into a Pure Yang true fire. The flames rose up and fell onto the Chunyang Sword, forming a sea of ​​sword light and fire, like a world of its own.

Accompanied by a loud bang, the Qingping Sword, carrying countless thunders, rushed into the sea of ​​sword light and fire, constantly colliding with the Chunyang Sword. The sword energy and Chunyang true fire were smashed into nothingness by the Qingping Sword, and bursts of loud noises erupted.

This sea of ​​sword light and fire was derived from the Taoist Pure Yang's magical powers. It not only contained the innate Pure Yang sword art, but also connected with his primordial spirit. Every time a sword energy and true fire broke out, his face turned pale, and a trace of golden blood appeared faintly at the corner of his mouth. He was forcibly repelled thousands of miles away by the Taoist Shangqing with the Qingping Sword.

Sword energy collided, thunder and fire shot up into the sky, and space storms raged. The scene was extremely horrifying.

Taoist Shangqing was not feeling well either. He felt that he and the Qingping Sword were trapped in an endless sea of ​​sword energy and fire. No matter how he waved the Qingping Sword in his hand, he was still unable to completely extinguish the sword energy and true fire in front of him.

It was like pure Yang Wuji, endless and boundless, with sword energy and true fire everywhere, constantly consuming the magic power in his body, and even the three flowers of his soul.

Seeing that Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Chunyang were in a stalemate, neither could do anything to the other for a while. If they continued to fight, both would suffer losses, which would not be worth the loss.

"Fellow Taoists, how about separating the two of you and stopping this sword fight?" Li Xuanyang asked as he swept his eyes across the Taoists in the void.

"That's great." Taoist Taiqing smiled and nodded.

The same is true for the other people with great supernatural powers.

"I would like to ask all fellow Taoists to help separate the two Taoists first." As Li Xuanyang spoke, he waved his hand and shot out a ray of innate Xuanyang divine light, intending to separate Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Chunyang.

"This is easy." However, before Li Xuanyang's innate Xuanyang divine light fell, Zhen Yuanzi took out a palm-sized treasure mirror, on which the words "heaven and earth" were written in innate divine characters, and it emitted infinite ochre divine light.

At almost the same time, Taoist Taiqing also offered up a palm-sized black and yellow pagoda, from which strands of black and yellow aura of merit fell down, and together with the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, they fell between Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Chunyang.

Whether it was sword energy and thunder, or sword energy and true fire, they all disappeared in an instant, just like snow meeting the sun.

Taoist Shangqing and Taoist Chunyang were enveloped in the earth-yellow divine light and the aura of profound virtue. They felt their souls warm, and their injuries gradually improved.

As the ochre-colored divine light and the mysterious yellow aura of merit spread, the space that was shattered by the two gradually calmed down, the earth, wind, water, and fire disappeared, and the space storm was destroyed.

This restored peace to the sky above Mount Buzhou.
