I am eight years old again, and I will never serve as a cauldron for the empress again.

Zhuangzi's question resounded throughout the entire universe.

The semi-transparent figure stared at Zhuang Zhou.

Even if the eye of heaven and earth shatters.

He did not suffer any backlash or impact whatsoever.

"The student surpasses the teacher, truly worthy of being my dignified lineage for posterity!"

The semi-transparent figure spoke.

Zhao Wuji looked at the Heavenly Pride Ranking stone tablet with surprise.

"When did these projections become capable of possessing their own consciousness and communicating with people from future generations?"

The stone tablet of the Heavenly Pride Ranking was ice-cold and trembling.

"No, I do not know!"

The stone tablet of the Heavenly Pride Ranking was terrified.

He never imagined that this semi-transparent figure could possess its own consciousness.

What he summoned was merely a projection of a powerful being who once existed in this world.

It's a mark, a trace!

How could I possibly speak directly?

Do you still want to fight me?

The solemn projection of his past life spoke slowly.

"If you don't think I'm being disobedient and unfilial, I'd like to give it a try!"

Zhuang Zhou was eager to try, and his eyes shone with a fiery light.

A solemn projection of a past life, and I can't help but chuckle.

"There are no fathers and sons on the battlefield! Besides, you are my descendant from the future. Strictly speaking, we are not related by blood. Go ahead and fight!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Zhou became even more excited.

He also wanted to see just how big the gap was between himself and his father from his previous life.

The next moment, Zhuang Zhou pushed off the ground with both feet, and his body shot out like a rocket.

In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Zhou had already arrived in front of the solemn projection.

"The Gluttonous Immortal Technique!"

Zhuang Zhou activated the Taotie Immortal Technique, and the enormous Taotie figure behind him seemed to blot out the sky.

"roar~"

The Taotie roared, and the heavens trembled.

The solemn projection, however, had a slight smile on its lips.

"Not bad. To be able to master immortal techniques at the peak of the Earthly Fiend Realm and be able to use them freely is enough to be considered a top-tier genius, even in my era!"

A solemn projection, and I sighed.

The next moment, he slowly raised his left hand and placed his palm against the Taotie's head.

The ferocious Taotie was completely unable to move at this moment.

The disparity in strength between the two sides suddenly became apparent.

Even if Zhuang Zhou used his immortal powers, he could not defeat Zhuang Yan, who had not used any secret techniques!

"No, it's not that I didn't use a secret technique! But it was too subtle for me to detect!"

Zhuang Zhou's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw a dark red "止" character in the left hand of the solemn projection.

“止” means to stop.

This is an ancient rune, formed from the rules of heaven and earth!

What truly hindered the Taotie's advance was this rune.

"You actually managed to discover my magical runes! Hahaha, you truly are my descendant! You not only inherited my talent, but also my sensitivity and wisdom!"

In his previous life, Zhuang Yan was extremely narcissistic, attributing all of Zhuang Zhou's qualities to himself.

There was a "boom".

The phantom of Taotie behind Zhuang Zhou was crushed by Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Zhou felt his internal organs burning, clutching his chest, and forcefully vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Father and son clash without mercy!

Zhuang Zhou chose to go all out.

Zhuang Yan showed no mercy, even though he was dealing with future generations!

"The magic has been broken!"

The elder who transmitted the skills exclaimed in surprise.

The scene before my eyes was absolutely spectacular.

The peak was set right from the start!

Zhuangzi's Taotie Immortal Technique is considered a top-grade artifact even among the treasures of Bailu Academy.

Solemn yet seemingly clumsy, he crushed the phantom of the Taotie with one hand, revealing astonishing combat power.

The father and son clashed, but neither of them possessed very high levels of cultivation.

Zhuang Zhou was only at the peak of the Earthly Fiend Realm.

Zhuang Yan's cultivation level was temporarily suppressed to the fifth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm due to the influence of the Heavenly Pride Ranking Stele!

In terms of cultivation level, among the countless outstanding students of White Deer Academy, he can probably only be described as good, or even far from excellent.

However, the confrontation between the father and son was incredibly intense and exciting.

The Transmission Elder even suspected that even if a Saint Realm expert joined the White Deer Academy, they would be immediately suppressed until they perished!

The combat power of the father and son has far exceeded the limits of their respective realms!

These are two entities that cannot be measured by common sense!

Within Zhuang Zhou's body, the life force rippled slightly.

A pale green glow covered his entire body.

The All-Encompassing Life Technique slowly began to circulate.

His internal injuries healed rapidly, and his pale complexion regained its rosy hue and luster at a visible speed!

"Such powerful recovery ability! Cultivating three disciplines simultaneously! This Zhuang Zhou actually possesses such a powerful recovery technique!"

Zhao Wuji looked at Zhuang Zhou, his eyes filled with amazement.

Once you truly cultivate to his level, you'll understand that in the end, cultivators in this world don't compete on who has higher cultivation or greater potential, but on who can live longer.

The "Mastery of All Things" that Zhuangzi demonstrated is absolutely the method to live like an ancient tortoise until the collapse of heaven and earth!

Zhuang Zhou's lips were full of smiles.

"Thanks for the demonstration, Dad. I think I understand now!"

"What do you unserstand?"

His solemn expression froze instantly.

He was just using his own methods to teach his future son a lesson.

Let him know the roles of father and son, ruler and subject, who is the father and who is the son.

He wanted to use this method to suppress Zhuang Zhou's arrogance.

He had no intention of giving Zhuang Zhou any pointers.

As a result, Zhuang Zhou immediately said that he understood.

Zhuang Yan had no idea what this bastard had figured out.

Zhuang Zhou's eyes sparkled with amusement.

"Of course I understand why the divine power my father just unleashed wasn't particularly vast or majestic, yet it was able to easily suppress my Gluttonous Immortal Technique. It's not that my father's divine power is strong, nor that my Gluttonous Immortal Technique is too weak! It must be a matter of energy concentration!"

"When I unleash my Gluttonous Immortal Technique, although it displays immense energy, nearly 30% of its power is consumed during the activation of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, resulting in a lot of unnecessary losses! Only by clenching my five fingers into a fist can I unleash its true power! Therefore, this energy also needs to be concentrated in one point in order to unleash astonishing combat power!"

"Dad's move just now perfectly embodies the principle of 'great skill appears clumsy' and 'returning to simplicity'! Cut out all the unnecessary frills, and finally concentrate all the energy into one point and explode with a bang! Not only is the power amazing, but the consumption is also concentrated to the extreme!"

As Zhuang Zhou spoke, he activated the Taotie Immortal Technique once more. The same immortal technique, however, manifested differently in Zhuang Zhou at this moment.

The Taotie behind Zhuang Zhou was only about the height of one person.

However, this time the phantom of the Taotie is more refined and more realistic.

The phantom of the Taotie he conjured last time was hundreds of feet tall and blotted out the sun and sky.

However, the outline is blurry and extremely faint.

This time, the Taotie phantom that Zhuang Zhou condensed was less than one-thousandth the size of the previous one.

The energy within is extremely concentrated, and each scale is lifelike.

It seemed that the Taotie's body contained the power of the universe.

A furious roar seemed capable of shaking the heavens and the thunder.

"Thank you for your guidance, Father. I finally understand the principle of concentrating energy into a single point!"

Zhuang Zhou clasped his hands in a respectful gesture to the solemn projection and said, "..."

The solemn projection stared blankly into space: "No, none of this was my intention!"

Zhuang Yan never expected that his casual move would be seen as a demonstration lesson by Zhuang Zhou!

He looked flustered and kept trying to explain himself.

However, Zhuangzi did not give him a chance to explain.

"Does this mean that what I just comprehended hasn't met Father's requirements?"

Zhuang Zhou frowned and fell into deep thought!
