PS: Second Update
Ping Du Sect was different from other Xuanmen. Their cultivation techniques were not outstanding. Even among the top ten sects, they were at the bottom.
However, this sect had a rare treasure that was extremely extraordinary. This treasure was called the Hidden Appearance Pagoda, and there were 365 Dharma Spirits within it. Every single Dharma Spirit was born with the ability to use Dao techniques after being nurtured and refined by someone.
The disciples only needed to worship this item. After a long time, they would be able to sense it and invite a dharma spirit to come down and place it in their body. They would then be nurtured by their own Yuanzhen. If it was fated, they would be able to summon it in less than ten years.
Once they were recognized by these dharma spirits, the disciples did not need to deliberately cultivate methods to defeat the enemy. As long as their cultivation realm was up to par, their combat power would increase immediately. Even their experience in fighting techniques would be extremely rich. They would not be weaker than the veterans.
Other than the direct descendants, not everyone in the sect could cultivate this supernatural power. If they learned other techniques or did not have enough talent, they would not be able to cultivate this power.
For example, Ding Wei, who was defeated by Zhang Yan, could not invite a dharma spirit because he cultivated a flying sword.
However, Dharma spirits were the key to success and failure. If the cultivators of the Pingdu Sect wanted to improve their combat strength, they could only ask for help from a more powerful Dharma spirit.
Among the 365 dharma spirits, the 28 dharma spirits were the most powerful. Three Primordial, Seven Symbols, and Eighteen Capital Masters. Three Primordial could only be used by people from Grotto-Heaven. As for the remaining 25 dharma spirits, if one did not reach Yuanying state, one could forget about it.
Elder Hua's dharma spirit was one of the Seven Symbols. Elder Hu's dharma spirit was one level lower. He was one of the 18 Capital Masters. The Dao techniques and supernatural power that he knew were not as good as Elder Hua's.
In the future, if Elder Hu contributed greatly to the sect, or reached Yuanying's second realm, he might have a chance to exchange for one.
Other than that, every dharma spirit that Ping Du Sect cultivators nurtured. As long as the master allowed it, it could be lent to people of similar cultivation level to use it.
However, this method consumed a lot of one's mana and vitality. Very few people were willing to do this. Outsiders would never know about it.
Elder Hu and Elder Hua were from the same sect. How could he not understand the meaning behind the latter's words? Asking him to go out and fight was not because he was afraid of breaking the main hall, but because he wanted to borrow the magical spirit of one of the Seven Symbols for his own use, how could he not be happy? Originally, he had no confidence in fighting with Zhang Yan, but now, his confidence was greatly boosted.
He cupped his fists at Huo Xuan, then looked at Zhang Yan and stomped his foot. Leaping up, he transformed into a beam of clear light and flew out of the main hall.
Zhang Yan smiled, picked up the wine cup on the table, and took a sip. Then, he flung his sleeves and turned into a stream of light. In the blink of an eye, he stopped on the water continent.
Under Huo Xuan's lead, everyone left the hall together and arrived at the beach. At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, its bright and clear splendor spread out on the ground, sprinkling down an expanse of silvery white. The sound of the wind was whistling in his ears, and the sound of waves beating against the shore could be heard continuously.
The disciples outside had arrived. They had originally come to watch the battle between the top ten disciples of the sect. When they saw that it was two people who were about to fight, they immediately clamored and their spirits were roused.
Chen Qiaoling saw that the two of them were about to fight. Her body couldn't help but tremble. She actually didn't know what this Elder Hu's cultivation level was. However, this was the only Yuanying cultivator she could ask to fight, so she could only hope that he could win against Zhang Yan.
Elder Hu looked straight at Zhang Yan and said coldly, "Fellow Zhang, this is a battle between you and me, don't ask others to interfere, otherwise it will be unfair."
How could Zhang Yan not see through his thoughts, he laughed and said, "Elder Hu, don't worry, I definitely won't ask for the dragon carp's help."
Elder Hu's intentions were exposed, but he didn't blush or feel awkward at all, he only said, "That's for the best."
However, he seemed to still be worried, so he bowed to Huo Xuan and said, "Zhenren Huo will be the host today, please be a witness."
Huo Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "That's right."
Elder Hua, who was standing far away, turned around and whispered to Wu Hancheng who was standing behind her, "Disciple, after your Uncle-Master Hu makes his move, I will be able to help him with the technique. However, I can't be disturbed at all, so you have to protect me and don't let anyone get close."
Wu Hancheng said worriedly, "Master, are you really going to lend the dharma spirit to Uncle-Master? If anything were to happen, it would be detrimental to one's cultivation. "
Elder Hua smiled and said, "Why would I do a losing deal? There will be benefits for you, I will know about it in a few days."
Wu Hancheng's heart skipped a beat. He recalled that Just Now, Zhong Muqing and Elder Hua seemed to be discussing something, and it was obvious that they had reached some kind of deal. He was delighted.
He came to Qincang School to ask for Zhenren Qin's help so that he could break through the Yuanying state. However, Zhenren Qin refused to see him, so he could only wait patiently. There was still no news of him until now, but with Zhong Muqing's help, the hope would increase greatly. If there was any benefit, it could only be this.
Thinking about this, his heart was burning, and he could not wait for Elder Hu to defeat Zhang Yan immediately.
Zhong Muqing originally thought that his participation in the sword competition was a foregone conclusion, but Zhang Yan came riding on the dragon carp, which made him feel that there might be a change in the matter, and he felt that it was a little unreliable.
Elder Hua saw this, and Just Now, he took the opportunity and hinted that he could share his burden. If Zhang Yan was defeated by the Pingdu Sect in the battle of techniques, then the matter would definitely not work out.
Elder Hua took a deep breath, and his body trembled slightly. He closed his eyes and activated his technique. After a short while, spots of golden light appeared above his head, and then gathered in mid-air to form a golden-armored deity with a cold expression, and there was no emotion in his eyes.
This Dharma Spirit was not formed by mana, but by a mysterious consciousness. Other than the followers of the Pingdu Sect, no one else could see it.
Elder Hu naturally saw it clearly, seeing that the Dharma spirit was floating towards him, he did not hesitate and first hid his own Dharma spirit into a talisman, after keeping it into his acupuncture point, he then made a gesture and with a whoosh, the Dharma spirit poured in from the top, and then merged into his spirit.
In an instant, there were countless things in his sea of consciousness, and he felt that the supernatural powers and techniques that he could not control previously were all at his fingertips.
At the same time, Elder Hua's face turned pale, and he almost lost his footing. He knew that he had exhausted too much of his Qi of vitality, and he would need to cultivate for another three to four years to recover. However, as long as his disciple had the chance to achieve Yuanying, everything would be worth it.
Zhang Yan suddenly felt that Elder Hu's aura in front of him was weak, and then strong, as if he had changed into another person in an instant. He felt strange.
He knew a little about the Pingdu Sect's techniques, and he also understood that the level of their combat power depended on the Dharma Spirit. However, for thousands of years, the supernatural powers and techniques of the Pingdu Sect did not remain the same. Otherwise, people would have seen through them, and they would not have a foothold.
If it was a battle of life and death, Zhang Yan would not care what kind of technique was used, and he would have launched a fierce attack to suppress the other party until they could not use their techniques. However, since it was a battle, it was inconvenient for him to be so aggressive, and it was good to see the other party's techniques.
He calmly took out the Stars Sword Pellet, and it hung above his head. However, at this moment, there was a wonderful feeling in his mind. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not his real enemy, but the real threat came from behind him.
The feeling was mysterious, and it did not make sense, but it felt very real.
Zhang Yan's thoughts turned quickly. Ever since he sacrificed himself, his sword consciousness was already connected to the spirit, and it was clear and flawless. Even if he was in some secret technique or illusion, he would not make such a mistake, so there must be a problem.
He muttered to himself, but he did not turn his head to look behind him. Instead, he took out the Stars Sword Pellet, and with the help of the sword eye, he scanned through everyone behind him. However, when he scanned through Elder Hua, the Stars Sword Pellet buzzed and trembled slightly. His gaze immediately flickered.
Elder Hu seemed to have taken a long time to collect the Dharma spirit, but in actual fact, it only took a moment. He shouted and took out a crystal-clear blue sand from his sleeve. He wiped it with his hand, and it turned into a dazzling blue ray. In a breath's time, it expanded to a length of ten thousand feet. It was like a rainbow, and it was magnificent.
Huo Xuan and the rest frowned when they saw him taking out the item.
Elder Yu from Pingdu Cult smiled and pointed at it. He said to the disciples behind him, "Your Uncle-Master Hu used this method, and he is very cautious. With this, he is in an invincible position for now."
Elder Hu leaped into the sky, and with a clench of his hand, it was as if he could summon the wind and rain, and suddenly, thunder rumbled. At the same time, countless yellow clouds separated to the left and right, and fell down to cover the ground.
This seemed to be a technique that sealed heaven and earth, but the range was only a thousand feet, and it was much weaker than what the Dragon Carp had displayed the other day.
If Zhang Yan used the Sword Escape at that moment, he could dash out. However, at that moment, he suddenly decided to follow his heart.
He stood still on the spot, and with a clear shout, he raised his hand and pointed. The Stars Sword Pill instantly turned into sixteen shining sword gleams, and fifteen of them vibrated rapidly. In an instant, they tore through the clouds and slashed towards Elder Hu who was in mid-air.
One of them turned around and turned into a ray of light that flew towards Elder Hua. At the same time, Zhang Yan shouted, "Since Elder Hua has the intention, why are you hiding at the back sneakily? Please come out and fight!"
Elder Hua was instantly shocked. He did not expect Zhang Yan to suddenly attack him, and he did not know how he revealed his weakness. Seeing that the flying sword was coming at him aggressively, as if it was going to behead him in one go, he felt guilty and could not care about Elder Hu anymore. He hurriedly made a gesture and called the Dharma spirit back, and raised a protective light to defend himself.
The Dharma spirit was nurtured by him, and he could summon it with just a thought. However, Elder Hu was caught off guard. He was initially showing his prowess and freely channeling the Taoist techniques of his sect, but suddenly, the Dharma spirit disappeared from his body. At that moment, it was as if his spine was pulled out. His body stiffened, and the protective blue light around him disappeared completely. As a result, when the fifteen sword pills came for him, they pierced through his body without any hindrance.
Elder Hu's eyes were wide open, and he seemed to be in disbelief. His expression was indescribably sorrowful, and he said with a trembling voice, "Senior … you …" Before he could finish his sentence, he fell to the ground.
