In the White Expanse Mountain and Water Estate.
There were rainbow swords leaping in front of Liu Yanyi. All of the sword lights were emitting a dazzling brilliance, like dozens of bright moons in the sky. Under the water, there was a reflection of the sword light. However, no matter how the water surged, it did not shatter.
With a thought, the sword lights under the water shadow floated up one by one. It looked as if they were no longer illusory, but had already become real.
After decades of cultivating in seclusion, not only was her cultivation stable, she had also mastered this Mystical Power.
Her gains were not only limited to these.
She realized that the Northern Underworld True Water that she cultivated could contain everything, and even the light of sword qi could be assimilated into it. This caused the power of her Mystical Power to increase by another level.
She retracted her sword qi and made a hand seal to calculate the time. At this moment, it was about time to remove the last karma of this tribulation.
She took this matter very seriously, and immediately consumed a few pills to regulate her breathing.
When her divine qi had completely recovered, she willed, and the water of the entire White Radiance Mountain suddenly surged. The water essence Qi gathered in one place and entered her avatar. Then, with a flash of a clear rainbow, she disappeared without a trace.
In the Spirit World, the three Demon Masters, Chi Yao, Heng Jing, and Lan Su, sat on a stone platform and stared at the Kun Shi Continent.
Before this, the Extraterritorial Demons had never appeared in the Kun Shi Continent, and they had never come into direct conflict with the cultivators here. It seemed like they did not want to participate in the fight for the Origin Jade.
But in reality, that was not the case. The Inner Demons that they had sent had already lurked in the bodies of many Qi Practitioners and cultivators. However, their purpose was not to harm people, but to keep an eye on those fated people.
They believed that even if they could not obtain the item immediately, they still needed to know which clan had it. If there was a chance, they would snatch it away. If there was no chance, they would try to fight for the greatest benefits for themselves.
These Inner Demons could be said to be very well hidden. Not only in the territory of the Human Dao, but also in the Dayin Plains and the vast mountains.
Among them, the place with the largest number was the Ying Division.
This was because although there was only one Qi Practitioner who had opened the meridians, there were many who cultivated Inner Qi. Although this division claimed to be part of the Human Dao, in reality, they only worshiped the four great Dao Masters on the surface. Secretly, they worshiped the two Dao Masters who were heartless. As for the Human Dao Gods, they did not pay any attention to them. It was precisely because of this that the inner demons were less likely to be discovered. They were mostly hidden here and could erupt at any time.
Yuan Zhen did not notice this at all. He handed Ying Bu over to his sect's disciple while he personally came to the sky above Jade Capital City and stared at it.
As soon as the Primordial Jade appeared, he would immediately snatch it away. At that time, the two Dao Masters would naturally be able to use him to take it away.
This time, the two Taoist Masters gave him a rare response and gave him a Jade Talisman. With this protection, he would not be intercepted by the Dao Yuan Zun immediately. As long as he slowed down, he would be able to get his hands on it.
In fact, at that moment, it was not only him. All the powerful people and their disciples were preparing to seize the Primordial Jade as soon as it appeared.
While he was staring down, a trace of warning suddenly arose in his heart. He glanced over and saw a ray of sword light flying towards him.
He immediately revealed a look of caution. However, the sword light did not slash at him. In an instant, it turned back and returned to the sky. It looked like it was just greeting him.
He could not help but look towards the direction of the sword light. He saw that the thick clouds above him suddenly split open and a ray of golden light pierced through.
Then, a female deity broke through the haze and came through the golden light. Lotuses appeared under her feet and behind her was the light of clouds and water. She came to the front and saluted with her sword. With a clear and pleasant voice, she said, "Disciple Liu Yanyi of Xuanyuan Sect, please enlighten me."
Yuan Zhen's heart shook. "Disciple of Xuanyuan Sect?"
He knew that it was impossible for him to not be discovered by the four Yuan Zun. They did not come looking for him previously, but it did not mean that they would continue to ignore him. Now, as expected, they came looking for him.
It was not that he did not prepare for this. Earlier on, there were already a few mana incarnations hiding below. Even if he was delayed here, when the Primordial Jade appeared, he could snatch it in time.
He returned the salute without changing his expression. He said, "Since Fellow Daoist Liu is here, then Yuan Zhen will learn from your wisdom."
Liu Yanyi's gaze turned. Although this place was far from the surface, the aftermath would inevitably affect mortals. Hence, she greeted the void above and said, "Thank you for your protection, Immortal Lords."
The Immortal Lords on duty appeared one by one. They all bowed to her and disappeared.
Liu Yanyi relaxed and immediately took out a mystic art. She heard a rumbling sound that sounded like thunder in the distant sky. A vast tide appeared and moved across the sky.
Yuan Zhen was slightly surprised. He did not expect that Liu Yanyi's white dress was light and graceful. She did not walk the path of quick-witted and faintly discernible. As her mana surged, it was grand and imposing. He did not dare to underestimate her. First, he gathered his Qi and opened up a place for shelter in the water.
At the same time, he took out a long green ruler from his sleeve. Under the command of his mind, this item merely drew a line in front of him. It was as though it was dividing into two spaces. The water seemed to be blocked by an invisible force. When it reached the area where the ruler had drawn, it immediately stopped and split into waves, flowing in another direction.
Liu Yanyi did not care about this. With a command of her mind, there was suddenly a sword light. It was like a dazzling moonlight, leaping through the sky and slashing!
Yuan Zhen could already confirm that his opponent was undoubtedly a sword cultivator. Even in the first era, such a cultivator was difficult to deal with. Not only were their attacks sharp, their various killing techniques were also impossible to guard against. Among them, as long as Daoren's people found an opening, his opponent would not be able to turn the tables. Hence, before he could figure out his opponent's actual strength, he was only temporarily seeking stability.
He clasped his hands together and white gas surged out from between them. He took the initiative to meet the sword light. When the two collided, both disappeared at the same time.
But soon after, his expression changed slightly. Although that sword light was destroyed, another one appeared out of thin air. Just as it was about to be destroyed, another one arrived. It seemed to be an endless cycle of life and death, and it possessed an endless momentum.
Chen Xi frowned and knew that he couldn't allow it to be utilized freely, so he immediately circulated the Emotionless Dao Technique's Solitary Self Nothingness. This technique was capable of eliminating the secrets of karma and obliterating the void. With a single point of his finger, everything before his eyes instantly vanished and returned to the void, and the endless sword move was severed at this moment.
When Liu Yanyi saw this, she became extremely vigilant. Speaking of the Dao Techniques and Divine Abilities that Mortal Metamorphosis Cultivators could use, besides being different from the various sects, they were mostly the same. She was still able to recognize the first one or two techniques. It was merely a change in Magic Treasures and Dao Techniques. There was nothing too extraordinary about it.
However, this technique was beyond common sense. It was truly difficult to know what would happen if one was struck by this technique.
However, the female cultivator's thoughts were a bit more meticulous. After Yuan Zhen dissolved the attack, he did not immediately attack. From this action, it was not difficult for her to see that he did not have much fighting spirit and did not seem to have any intention of competing with her.
She was not wrong at all. Yuan Zhen was currently worried because this was the home ground of the Human Path. He believed that even if he defeated Liu Yanyi, there might be a second person who would appear.
Right now, his thoughts were to drag it out as long as he could. When the Yuan Jade appeared and his clone obtained it, he would immediately be able to escape. He would not need to care about victory or defeat anymore.
However, Liu Yanyi was different. To her, the opponent was the result of karma. In other words, if this person was not eliminated, then one day in the future, she might be killed by him. Thus, this was a battle of life and death, and it was worth going all out.
After noticing that the opponent was avoiding the battle, she began to think about how to take advantage of this opportunity.
If she could kill the opponent before he used all of his strength, then she could avoid a bitter battle and also destroy the opponent's purpose of coming here.
The battle between Mortal Metamorphosis Cultivators was to calculate the opponent's root fruit.
Whoever used the root fruit to avoid first would lose the initiative. Thus, she had to force the opponent to use the root fruit first. This was something that could not be avoided.
Her thoughts turned quickly, and she quickly came up with a strategy. She activated her mana and immediately used the killing move that she had been studying for a long time.
First, dozens of sword gleams appeared in mid-air. Then, the surrounding Annular Water Wall reflected countless sword silhouettes. Following her thoughts, the countless sword silhouettes materialized and shot out from all directions.
Yuan Zhen glanced at it and judged that although this move looked powerful, it was not as threatening as the previous attack. Thus, he still put his palms together and used the white smoke to protect himself. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He discovered that the sword gleam had actually slashed his body out of thin air. Before he could react, his dharmakaya was cut into two.
He was instantly shocked. This time, he missed the opportunity inexplicably. He did not understand where he went wrong.
He quickly used his spirit and escaped into the unknown, thinking of a countermeasure.
Liu Yanyi's method was actually not strange. When the Northern Underworld True Water reached the Mortal Metamorphosis Realm, it could devour and eliminate the external senses of the opponent's Qi. In actual combat, it could actually delay the opponent's senses.
In other words, everything that the opponent could sense now was actually something that happened a moment ago. And this difference was enough to become the key to victory.
This method might not be able to deal with cultivators whose cultivation base was higher than hers, but against someone of the same generation, under the situation where the opponent did not know the details, it could produce a miraculous effect.
After Yuan Zhen calculated in his spirit for a long time, he finally had a slight idea and understood where the problem was.
However, he was also clear that he had lost the initiative. The opponent's sword gleams would come unceasingly until his dharmakaya was torn into pieces. If he did not use his root fruit to avoid it, he would definitely be killed over and over again until his essence was exhausted and he died.
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, he decided to avoid the attack first.
He immediately retreated from his spirit and used his root fruit. The countless sword gleams intersected with each other as if they were piercing through the void.
When Liu Yanyi felt the appearance of this person's root fruit, she immediately used her spirit to calculate where it would land. However, in the blink of an eye, it disappeared again. She knew that it had moved to another place. However, she had caught it once. If the opponent revealed it again, it would be even easier to calculate. At this moment, the chance of victory was already tilted towards her.
Yuan Zhen knew that the battle situation was already disadvantageous to him. He no longer chose to fight head-on. He immediately used his supernatural power to escape and escaped to the other side of the wasteland. He was prepared to try his best to delay this battle until he found the Yuanyu. He did not believe that the two Dao Masters would abandon him.
