'He has an unbending and indomitable ancient sacred mountain in his heart? Daoist Hong Wu's state of mind is extremely high, not inferior to mine! '
Jiang Nan admired Daoist Hong Wu very much and thought, 'This kind of person is terrifyingly stubborn. His state of mind is unshakable. Once he sets his mind on something, he will walk on it step by step. No one will be able to change his mind and footsteps!'
In a sense, Daoist Hong Wu and Taihuang Laozu were similar. However, Taihuang Laozu was meticulous. He had unshakable persistence and was good at using various factors to maintain his advantage.
Daoist Hong Wu, on the other hand, was somewhat rigid and lacked flexibility. This was the limitation of his personality.
He had his own principles, but from this, it could be seen that Daoist Hong Wu's state of mind was much weaker than Taihuang Laozu's state of mind.
Cultivating the state of mind was only the first step. The next step was to become a Grandmaster and then a Great Grandmaster.
However, there was an even higher realm above the Great Grandmaster.
Jiang Nan was already at the peak of the Great Grandmaster realm. He had some understanding of the higher state of mind.
The next few realms of the state of mind were the unity of knowledge and action, and the unity of heaven and man.
Taihuang Laozu was at the Great Perfection of the unity of knowledge and action.
In fact, among the many experts that Jiang Nan had seen before, there were very few whose state of mind surpassed Taihuang's. Sister Jiang Xue, who was always calm, was one of them. The yellow-robed young man who was methodically looking for ways to release his other physical bodies was another.
Xi Yingqing, who had comprehended the Heaven Technique, could only be considered to be on the same level as Taihuang Laozu. As for the others, such as the Great Sage King, Heaven Battling Demon Venerable, Demon Venerable Han Xuan, and the Great Scarlet Heaven Divine Lord, although they had reached the unity of knowledge and action in their state of mind, they were inferior to Taihuang Laozu in terms of perfection.
Jiang Nan was also comprehending the unity of knowledge and action in his state of mind. He had already dabbled in it, but he had yet to enter this realm of mind.
"Dao Brother Gong, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?" Daoist Hong Wu suddenly said in a deep voice.
"Hongwu, you haven't become a god yet, so you're not my enemy. Now that you've become a god, you're my enemy! "
Another middle-aged man walked over. This man was dressed in a purple robe, exuding an aura of nobility. With a slight movement of his body, a terrifying silhouette of a heavenly deity appeared in the boundless starry sky behind him. It was boundlessly tall and vast, revealing its powerful cultivation base.
His Empyrean Shadow was even larger than the Primeval Sacred City. The Sacred City was like a speck of dust in front of the Empyrean Shadow behind him!
He was the Deputy City Lord of the Sacred City of the Ancients, Gong Changqing. Although he was extremely fearful of Daoist Hong Wu, he was naturally a terrifying powerhouse since he was able to become the Deputy City Lord and manage the affairs of the Sacred City!
"How dare you hit my daughter!"
Gong Changqing's eyes were like torches as he glanced at Jiang Nan and Shao Tianya. Jiang Nan only felt an extremely powerful Divine Sense piercing into his forehead. With a slight thought, his Divine Sense immediately turned into an Immortal Transformation Jade Bottle.
Gong Changqing's Divine Sense crashed into the jade bottle. Instantly, the Immortal Transformation Divine Light in the bottle was annihilated and dissipated. There was no movement at all!
At the same time, Shao Tianya also felt the invasion of Gong Changqing's Divine Sense. The cultivation of his Divine Sense was not any weaker than Jiang Nan's. It was just that his Divine Sense Divine Sense was not as powerful as Jiang Nan's, but it was still not a trivial matter.
Gong Changqing's Divine Sense rushed into his forehead and was immediately shattered by a Nine Revolution Heavenly Wheel Seal, turning into ashes!
"Hmph, these two brats are quite capable."
Gong Changqing's face darkened. He was a little surprised. He did not kill them but wanted to teach Jiang Nan and Shao Tianya a lesson. However, he did not expect them to resolve it so easily. He immediately turned to look at Daoist Hong Wu and said coldly, "Hong Wu, your disciple colluded with outsiders and even rebelled. He injured my daughter. You have to give me an explanation today."
Daoist Hong Wu said in a deep voice, "Indeed, I have to give you an explanation. Tianya, you injured Fellow Daoist Gong's daughter. Are you convinced that I will expel you from the Holy City? "
Shao Tianya was stunned. He bowed and said, "I am convinced."
Daoist Hong Wu nodded and said to Gong Changqing, "Is Fellow Daoist Gong satisfied with this punishment?"
Gong Changqing's face darkened. Expel Shao Tianya from the Holy City? This punishment was not painful at all. Moreover, it was very beneficial to Daoist Hong Wu.
After Shao Tianya was expelled, Daoist Hong Wu would not have any worries. He could go all out and fight with him for the position of Deputy City Lord!
However, Daoist Hong Wu had already punished Shao Tianya in name and it was not appropriate for him to stir up trouble.
After all, the Deputy City Lord could not do whatever he wanted. There were still the old City Lord and many old monsters of the Holy City above him and he could not be unbridled.
"What about this outsider?"
Gong Changqing's gaze landed on Jiang Nan and he said sinisterly, "An outsider dares to act so brazenly in my Holy City. He injured my disciples repeatedly and caused chaos in the great wilderness, causing the reputation of my Holy City to be tarnished! If I don't kill him, the heavens will not forgive me! "
"This fellow Daoist is the guardian of a small tribe in the great wilderness. That tribe has already erected a statue to worship him. How can he be an outsider?"
Daoist Hong Wu smiled gently. "He's from the Holy City. It's inevitable that there will be casualties when the disciples of the Holy City spar. However, since he injured your daughter, I'll punish him and chase him out of the Holy City. What do you think, Fellow Daoist Gong? "
Gong Changqing's gaze was cold. Daoist Hong Wu was clearly siding with Jiang Nan and Shao Tianya and wanted to protect their lives. In fact, even Jiang Nan, an outsider, was given the identity of a disciple of the Holy City!
Gong Changqing harrumphed coldly and turned to leave. Now that Daoist Hong Wu had become a god and had the ability to be on equal footing with him, he did not dare to be too impudent in the Holy City.
Daoist Hong Wu watched him leave before turning to return to the Holy Hall. His voice sounded. "Sect Master Jiang, Tianya, you guys can leave."
"Master!" Shao Tianya said with a reluctant expression.
"Fellow Daoist Shao, let's go."
Jiang Nan said in a deep voice, "Your master has to calm down and fight with Gong Changqing for the position of Deputy City Lord without any scruples. If you stay here, you'll only distract him."
Shao Tianya understood that as well and nodded. "I know. Fellow Daoist, where are we going? "
"The world is so big, where isn't there a place to stay?"
Jiang Nan said with a smile, "I have an acquaintance in Rising Cloud City. Why don't we go there first to take a look?"
"It's good that you have an acquaintance!"
Shao Tianya perked up and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've been to Rising Cloud City. There are battles every day in Rising Cloud City, and it's much more exciting than the Holy City. There's going to be a wrestling competition soon, and many powerful forces and young experts will be there! However, Gong Changqing is a vengeful person. I'm afraid that once we leave the Holy City, we'll be attacked by him to avenge his daughter! "
"That depends on whether your master has the strength to fight him!" Jiang Nan's eyes flashed as he said with a smile.
Shao Tianya's eyes also shone brightly as he said, "I haven't seen my master fight in a long time. Let's go! "
He took out his ship, and the two of them boarded it and flew out of the Holy City.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, your body is too heavy!"
Shao Tianya's grumbling voice sounded. "By the way, didn't you just enter my Culmination World? Why do you have an acquaintance in Rising Cloud City? Is it a god from your world? "
"You'll know when we get there."
Jiang Nan smiled and said, "You'll be very happy to see that friend of mine."
The ship flew for tens of thousands of miles, and suddenly, the weather changed drastically. An incomparably huge face appeared in the void, and it was the image of the God behind Gong Changqing!
Although he wasn't a God yet, he was already infinitely close to that realm. The countless Dao Laws in his body turned into the image of the God, and it had the power to change the world!
Boom!
He slammed his hand down, and the void collapsed. Earth, water, wind, and fire surged, and everything within a radius of tens of thousands of miles was enveloped by this palm, leaving Jiang Nan and Shao Tianya with nowhere to escape!
Jiang Nan and Shao Tianya were still chatting happily, and they didn't mind this at all.
"Hmph! Hongwu, let me see how powerful your Nine Transformations Battle Physique is to be able to compete with me! Exploding Solar Stars! "
The God's image snorted coldly, and his palms gathered as they broke apart. He suddenly crossed his hands, and then opened them. Countless Dao Laws quickly gathered and turned into a huge planet. Fire spewed out, and divine light shone. The God's image hugged the Exploding Solar Stars and smashed it down!
Such power was earth-shattering, and its power had already surpassed the attack of a god. It had reached the combat power that only a God could have!
Daoist Hong Wu's fist continued to attack. He suddenly opened his five fingers, and three of them turned into a strange palm print, which met the Exploding Solar Stars!
"Ancient Desolation Seal!"
When he blasted out this seal, it was as if he had blasted out an ancient sacred mountain. One could faintly see that his three fingers were like an ancient mountain. Clusters of stars intertwined, the galaxy spiraled, and the continent of stars floated on the mountainside!
Jiang Nan's eyes lit up. Daoist Hong Wu had fused his state of mind with his cultivation technique, and there was an indomitable ancient sacred mountain in his heart. His fist had also turned into an ancient sacred mountain, which allowed his strength to increase exponentially. Although his cultivation level was not as high as Gong Changqing's, his combat power was not inferior to Gong Changqing's!
This was the unity of knowledge and action!
The unity of knowledge and action could allow a god's strength to be maximized, and his cultivation level was even higher than that of a Great Grandmaster!
Daoist Hong Wu's accumulation was deep, and his state of mind was extremely high. Coupled with Jiang Nan's unintentional guidance, he finally achieved the unity of knowledge and action, surpassing the Great Grandmaster level!
The Ancient Desolation Seal collided with the Exploding Solar Stars, and the Exploding Solar Stars were directly destroyed. The next moment, the Ancient Desolation Seal's palm covered Gong Changqing's God's image. The God's eyes were filled with disbelief, and the incomparably majestic God began to collapse. In an instant, it was destroyed by the seal!
"What a great Ninth Transformation Battle Physique, I've experienced it!"
Gong Changqing's voice came from the void, and he said coldly, "However, if you want to take my position, I'll have to see your true strength, and not your battle through the void!"
The sky suddenly calmed down, and white clouds curled up. The ship slowly flew above the white clouds.
"Unity of knowledge and action, where is my unity of knowledge and action?"
Jiang Nan saw the battle just now, and he fell into deep thought. "My unity of knowledge and action is not Taihuang's oblivion, nor is it Sect Master Xi's reluctance, nor is it Daoist Hong Wu's unbending and unyielding spirit. Then, what is my true heart?"
He faintly felt that his cultivation of the Heart had reached the most critical point, and there was no path ahead of him. If he could figure it out, then he would be able to open up a new path, but if he couldn't, then his Heart would come to a halt!
