Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

It's easy to imagine that this stone possesses a wondrous quality rarely seen even once in ten thousand years. The fact that their profound energy, as powerful beings of the Heavenly Dao, could be borrowed in this way is truly astonishing.

Fortunately, the stone's temperament has been relatively mild so far; otherwise, if it were suddenly drained of its energy, neither of them dared to imagine what would happen to them.

Perhaps the two meant no harm, or perhaps the stone's power was insufficient at the moment, leaving it as it was—all this remains unknown, for it is too mysterious.

However, faced with the pursuit of power, it was impossible for either of them to remain unmoved. Caught between a dilemma, they often chose to advance.

This is a problem that even the Heavenly Dao cannot avoid.

In particular, although the Heavenly Demon Sage's power was comparable to that of the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun, there was no sign that his current strength had improved further.

As powerful individuals, they naturally have to face the enemies they must confront, thus strength represents everything.

Today, you might travel with fellow Daoists, but at some point, you might be abandoned by them. This makes you even more eager to improve your strength, which is the downside.

However, although the Celestial Venerable Yuanshi was also like this, he was, after all, a so-called reputable and righteous sect. Therefore, he naturally did not appear to be as eager for quick success and instant benefits.

This stemmed from their habits since childhood, leading one to become the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun, and the other to be called the Heavenly Demon Xuan Sheng. Although there was no inherent difference between them, whether good or evil, in the eyes of others, the Divine Venerable naturally reigned supreme over the Heavenly Demon.

This is simply how the world sees it, and it's unavoidable.

After steadily adjusting her breathing, she began to control her body and the aura around her to protect herself. This seemingly invisible surroundings had long been heavily surrounded by profound energy.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful!" The Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun asked anxiously, his expression tense. Neither of them knew the deeper meaning behind his greeting.

Chapter 921 What kind of power is this?

However, if Li Xiuyuan were here right now, he probably wouldn't be able to suppress his feelings and desires either.

Although the opponent possesses the strength of the Heavenly Dao, I cannot defeat them, but I can still put up a fight by running away. I would do anything for this supreme Primordial Profound Stone.

Imagine if this stone fell into Li Xiuyuan's hands. He would probably be able to roam freely at the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal stage in no time. Even the Heavenly Dao would have to give him some face. After all, this is a treasure above the Innate Supreme Treasure level, and there are too many things about it that are hard to describe.

At this point, Long Xiangtian was still confused. Wasn't this just about two super-powerful experts who went on a trip out of boredom and then encountered a peerless treasure?

The plot should be about acquiring treasures and improving one's cultivation, but it's all just fantasy. Even if it were real, it wouldn't concern me.

I really can't understand why I have to watch this. But since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it.

Li Xiuyuan maintained his composure and continued watching. If he were here, he probably would have killed the boy. He cursed, "This damned brat really doesn't understand the intricacies of this."

Are the powerful beings of Heaven like radishes and cabbages on the street, something you can just see whenever you want?

Some people never get to see someone in their entire lives, but you don't even care to see them? That's absolutely wasteful, a complete waste of money.

Li Xiuyuan was also here at this time, but because the spatial laws here were too powerful, even Li Xiuyuan could not break the formation.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan, this monstrous talent, was witnessing the creation of the world by the great god Pangu, so he naturally understood the principles and benefits involved, and therefore had no time to meddle in other people's business.

Aside from Li Xiuyuan, Long Xiangtian was considered to have a good opportunity, as he was able to witness how the two Heavenly Dao beings obtained the gems.

Even if he hasn't learned anything else, just learning one or two moves would probably be more than enough for Long Xiangtian to use right now.

For people at such vastly different levels, advancing in cultivation is as rapid as having a rocket booster installed behind them.

Long Xiangtian was perhaps a born genius in cultivation, so he watched the two powerful figures' moves with great concentration.

The strange sword sheath on the back of the Heavenly Demon Sage caught Long Xiangtian's eye.

"This is definitely not an ordinary item," Long Xiangtian thought to himself.

Sure enough, as the Xuan power surged, the scabbard seemed to awaken. Although it didn't look much different, it gave people a strange feeling, as if it were a sentient object controlled by its master.

With a roar from the Heavenly Demon Saint, and a forceful swing of his right hand, five holy swords suddenly appeared in the previously empty scabbard.

Whether it was because of the appearance of this holy sword or not, the aura of the Heavenly Demon Profound Saint instantly increased several times, and his eyes were filled with endless fighting spirit.

It all seemed so exciting, I was practically licking my lips to savor it.

When the Divine Lord Yuanshi Tianzun saw that the Heavenly Demon Xuan Sheng was now wielding his power, his eyes involuntarily narrowed, and he became serious.

He thought to himself, "Although this Xuan Sheng's skill has not progressed, I can feel that as his fighting spirit grows stronger, his combat power also becomes stronger."

"Boundless Heaven and Earth! Five Elements Heavenly Gang!" The Heavenly Demon Profound Saint roared once more!

Five incredibly powerful golden lights appeared beneath the feet of the Heavenly Demon Sage, enveloping him. These golden lights were unlike any that Long Xiangtian had seen before.

Xuan Sheng carried five golden holy swords on his back, extending from the center to the left and right. The foremost of them was a dazzling crimson curved sword, as red as blood, named the Zhongtong Holy Sword.

Then came the Eastern Heretic Holy Sword, the Western Poison Holy Sword, the Southern Pole Holy Sword, and the Northern Heaven Holy Sword! Four incomparably sharp blades.

With a buzzing sound, as if sensing its master's excitement, the holy sword was naturally also extremely excited and headed towards the Primordial Mystic Stone.

The five holy swords that were released seemed to be equipped with a remote control, obeying the Xuan Sheng's command and moving nimbly.

The Celestial Lord of Primordial Beginning would naturally not let such a good opportunity pass by. Since someone had paved the way, he naturally had to follow suit.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult for me to get this Primordial Mystic Stone.

"Ha!" Unlike Xuan Sheng, a Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation appeared beneath the feet of the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun.

This Taiji gives rise to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams, and the bright universe is a harmonious blend of black and white. This is the secret method of the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun.

After the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams Formation rotated, a milky-white divine sword appeared from the center. This sword was neither white nor gray, and its color was quite strange.

"Hun Yuan Sword! Go!" Following closely behind the five holy swords, the Hun Yuan Sword gave people a different feeling because of its pure divine power, which was blue and white, white and black, black and gray, and gray and blue!

It was as if all things in heaven and earth had merged into this divine sword.

It felt as if someone wanted to take control of it; the stubborn Hunyuan Xuanshi was really as hard as a rock.

This stone is absolutely the hardest thing in the world, because the five holy swords of the Heavenly Demon Sage were blocked by the array emanating from it before they could even touch it.

"Heh! How powerful." The Heavenly Demon Sage saw his five holy swords desperately spinning on the formation, trying to break through the defense, but to no avail. Even though sparks flew between them, the Primordial Profound Stone was not so easily touched.

Following closely behind was the Hunyuan Sword, which was unstoppable. The Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun chanted incantations while tightly closing the index and middle fingers of his right hand. The Hunyuan Sword flew faster and faster, and an increasingly powerful aura burst forth from the divine sword.

Chapter 922 The mastermind behind the scenes

"Crack!" A deafening roar echoed as the Hunyuan Xuan Stone formation, despite being attacked by the five holy swords, still managed to withstand the powerful blow from the Hunyuan Sword.

The shockwave from the collision between the two spread out like a level 10 tsunami, exuding a domineering aura from the inside out.

"This stone is really hard." Xuan Sheng glanced at the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun after seeing the Xuan Stone, which remained unmoved even under such attacks.

"Indeed, this stone is a treasure surpassing even the most precious innate treasures; it is indeed powerful. However, the more powerful it is, the more our efforts have not been in vain. Fellow Daoist, give it your all! I truly refuse to believe we cannot break it," said the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun, his aura soaring.

"Alright, today I'll accompany you to see whether this stone is harder or our precious swords are harder." With a wave of his hand, Xuan Sheng retrieved the five holy swords.

His eyes were tightly closed, but with them closed, it became even more obvious. Xuan Sheng's aura had noticeably strengthened, and his movements were much more agile.

The Zhongtong Holy Sword hummed and trembled like a command center. Under its call, the four surrounding holy swords seemed to receive an order and began to slowly disappear.

However, every time it disappears a fraction, countless golden specks of light flow out and converge into the body of the Zhongtong Holy Sword in the middle.

As golden light gradually gathers within the sword, its blade becomes even brighter and its humming sound becomes even clearer and more melodious.

"Under the clear sky and bright heavens, the Heavenly Gang Sacred Domain of the Five Elements!" This was the Heavenly Demon Profound Saint's strongest attack, combining the five sacred swords into one, named the Heavenly Gang Sacred Sword.

This is not something that adds one plus one and then another until it reaches five. This holy sword, once gathered together, can amplify all its advantages several times over.

The Heavenly Demon Saint looked confidently at the Heavenly Gang Holy Sword, which had already completed its transformation. The moment his profound power erupted, he controlled it to rush towards the array of the Primordial Profound Stone.

"Very well, it seems you are going all out, so I will not hold back any longer today." The fingers of the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun began to move nimbly, changing at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

If someone did this to you, they would definitely say you were messing around recklessly.

However, in the hands of the Divine Lord Yuanshi Tianzun, a different feeling was experienced. Every technique was based on reason, as if it was changing smoothly according to a plan.

This is the ultimate attack of the Divine Lord Yuanshi Tianzun, the Myriad Chaos Formation!

The "myriad" in this name is not an exaggeration; it is a summary of the formations that the God has been cultivating for thousands of years. After the sedimentation of time and the cleansing of battles, it has retained all the advantages and made up for all the disadvantages.

Driven by the myriad Hunyuan formations, the Hunyuan Sword was as excited and full of vitality as a thirsty person in the desert who had seen water.

This Myriad Primordial Chaos Formation was a formation created by the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun for his Hunyuan Sword. Its purpose was to provide the Hunyuan Sword with an endless supply of profound energy, ensuring that it could always maintain its optimal state.

The area around him felt as if it were about to be ignited, and the surrounding temperature, combined with the power of the Heavenly Divine Sword and the Primordial Chaos Sword, was thrust into the Primordial Chaos Stone.

Rumble!

Bang bang bang!

Clang clang clang!

Nine resounding booms, no more, no less, finally broke through the barrier, gradually opening the path to the Primordial Stone.

However, the gravity of a black hole is no joke. While breaking the formation, one must still maintain one's own profound energy to avoid being sucked into the endless darkness by the black hole.

The two powerful beings of the Heavenly Dao finally obtained the mysterious magic stone, the Hunyuan Xuan Stone, after using all their skills.

By this point, Long Xiangtian was already dazzled; he simply couldn't possibly remember the techniques used by the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun.

The speed of this change was truly astounding, but after this duel, Long Xiangtian was completely unaware that his understanding of his spiritual world had undergone a qualitative leap.

Long Xiangtian, who possessed the strength of a Golden Immortal, was completely unaware of the world's affairs, but after witnessing the formations and power of the Heavenly Demon Sage and the Divine Venerable Yuanshi Tianzun...

Sensing the consciousness of these two powerful beings within him, his understanding of everything in this world was now different from his initial perception.

"What? Everything is emptiness, emptiness is everything, everything is predetermined, and so on. These insights were put into Long Xiangtian's mind."

If Li Xiuyuan were here at this moment, he would definitely be able to discover that this guy's spiritual power has already reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but his physical strength is still around the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

All that's left to do is improve your physical cultivation to become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Long Xiangtian had no idea that simply watching a battle between powerful figures could improve his cultivation. If that were the case, he probably wouldn't be complaining about being here.

They practically wished they could stay here forever, and at this rate, reaching Li Xiuyuan's level was just around the corner.
