"What? You want to spar with me? "
Hearing Hong Yi say that he wanted to play some dao techniques with her, Su Mu, the saintess of the Taishang Path and a top figure among the rising dao techniques, could not help but be taken aback. She then repeated the question in a playful tone, as though she had not heard it clearly and wanted to confirm it again.
"That's right." Hong Yi said in a resolute and decisive tone, "Since the Supreme Path supports the Champion Marquis to seize the throne, I really want to see just how capable you are as a Holy Maiden to dare to say such words despite the universal condemnation of the world? Besides, I, Hong Yi, am a man who has cultivated mystiques. Although I dare not say that my spiritual power is boundless, I can still dominate the world. You actually said that you would guide me to riches and let me join the Champion Marquis in such a tone? It's not like I've never seen that brat before. In the Rising Cloud Nation, I've already refuted him thoroughly! What a joke. Such a person was actually chosen by the Taishang Path as the true son of heaven? The Taishang Path doesn't seem to have much of a foresight. Otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen someone as heartless as Hong Xuanji back then! "
"Come on, Su Mu. Let me see how powerful your dao techniques are. Can you really control the divine weapon of the state and abolish the son of heaven? As long as you defeat me, it's not impossible for me to join the Champion Marquis and increase his strength. "
After Hong Yi finished speaking, he laughed heartily.
His wild laughter pierced through the clouds. It was as though many of the dark clouds in the sky had been washed away, revealing more stars.
Hong Yi had long known that the Taishang Path would deal with the Da Qian royal family and would definitely play some tricks on the candidates for the throne. They were trying to throw the Da Qian court into chaos.
But he had never expected that the Taishang Path would actually choose the Champion Marquis as the true son of heaven!
Although the Champion Marquis was an illegitimate child, he was still the grandson of a prince and had the bloodline of a dragon. But in the eyes of the court's scholarly officials and civil and military officials, an illegitimate child was an illegitimate child and could not be seen in public. Even if Big Dry Emperor Yang Pan's sons were all dead, he would still choose another successor to the throne from the royal family. It would absolutely not be the Champion Marquis' turn.
This could be said to be an established truth for thousands of years.
More importantly, the Champion Marquis had a grudge with Hong Yi. Moreover, this person had designs on Chan Yinsha. Hong Yi had long viewed him as an enemy, so why would he seek refuge with him?
But now, the Supreme Dao had made it clear that they wanted to support the Champion Marquis. The Monogatari had the prestige of being the number one person in the world. Putting aside whether or not he had a share of the throne, the Champion Marquis's strength had greatly increased.
With such great power, even Hong Xuanji might not be able to contend against them in the imperial court.
Hong Yi knew that from the moment the Supreme Dao supported the Champion Marquis, this young man was already the most powerful official in the Da Qian imperial court.
"Why is this Champion Marquis so lucky? Not only did he have so many experts under him, he even had the Divine Eagle King, one of the world's eight great demon immortals, seek refuge with him. Now, he even obtained the support of the Supreme Dao. Just now, Su Mu said that the sect leader of the Supreme Dao, Monogatari, had already spoken with the Champion Marquis. When did this happen? Could it be in the Wasteland? That's right, when the Champion Marquis was dealing with Saint Tu Yuan, he did not appear. Perhaps he had already gone to meet the Monogatari! In the Wasteland, I risked my life to obtain the Qiankun Pouch. This guy actually met the Monogatari and even obtained his support. This fortuitous encounter is too great! However, the young Wu Sheng is very famous. A high and mighty figure like the Monogatari must have long noticed him. "
In Hong Yi's heart, there was a strange feeling.
It was only natural that the Monogatari would notice the Champion Marquis. The Champion Marquis was too dazzling.
Although Hong Yi did not care for the support of the Supreme Dao, nor did he wish to borrow the power of the Supreme Dao to deal with Hong Xuanji. For his mother's justice, he would have to personally demand it from Hong Xuanji and Madam Zhao.
However, now that the Supreme Dao had supported someone who had a grudge against Hong Yi, Hong Yi could not help but be wary.
As for this Saintess of the Supreme Dao, Su Mu, she actually wanted him to seek refuge with the Champion Marquis. She even used a tone of charity to say that she would "guide you to riches and honor." This made Hong Yi even more unbearable.
Hong Yi did not cultivate the tranquil Supreme Emotionless Dao. Su Mu's actions, tone, and attitude all made him extremely displeased. His thoughts were not clear, and he had no choice but to fight to vent the displeasure in his heart.
"My current cultivation level can be considered a first-rate expert in dao techniques. Since Saint Tu Yuan has the right to hunt down the Monogatari, then I have the right to hunt down the Monogatari as well. Su Mu, Su Mu, let me see how capable you are today. I'll let you know that there's always someone better out there... "
Hong Yi thought to himself as he spoke.
Saint Tu Yuan had the right to hunt down the Monogatari. Hong Yi's current cultivation level was no weaker than Saint Tu Yuan's. Naturally, he had the right to hunt down the Monogatari as well.
Thinking about it this way, Hong Yi did not have much fear towards the Supreme Dao, which was a thousand-year-old sect and the leader of the sacred grounds.
If he was unhappy, then he would fight. It was only right and proper.
"Oh? You've met the Champion Marquis? That's interesting. Since you want to fight with me, then come at me. Let me see what realm Senior Sister Bingyun's son has cultivated to? "
Su Mu heard Hong Yi's words, but was not angry at all. Her voice was still as calm as if she was taking a stroll in the park and chatting under the moon.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Hidden Treasure of Buddhas, Dragon Elephant Seal, Moving Mountains and Filling Seas..." Hong Yi did not want to waste his breath. He had not had enough of the battle with the Ajati Matriarch.
Amidst the intense chanting, a Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva leaped out of the void, waving his fist and attacking Su Mu.
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Scripture? It turns out that you're backed by the Golden Spider King. " Su Mu smiled, "Recently, there's a rumor that the Golden Spider King seems to have obtained the secret scripture of the Daizen Temple, and it seems to be the supreme secret scripture of the three major scriptures, the Amitabha Sutra of the Past. During the battle in the wilderness, he sneakily attacked Saint Tu Yuan and snatched the Cosmos Sack. You must have benefited from him, and that's how you managed to cultivate the divine power. You speak righteously, but secretly collude with the Nation Master Rouran, which doesn't seem to be very honorable. Sure enough, all scholars are like this, saying one thing and thinking another. Hong Yi, do you think that you can look down on everything with a little bit of the Golden Spider King's power? "
As he spoke, Su Mu's eyes flashed, and a gust of Yang wind blew out from between his eyebrows. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a big bell that shone with a green light!
The big bell looked very ancient, as if it was made of bronze. As soon as it appeared, it had a heavy, vast, and solid feeling, as if it was a supreme weapon that could reverse the flow of time!
However, this bell was not a physical object, but a spirit visualized by Su Mu's Spirit!
"So the Daoist technique of the Taishang Path is visualized. It's not a Dao Venerate, nor is it a spirit, but an artifact that looks like a big bell!" Hong Yi was immediately in a state of extreme shock when he saw the big bell.
In his eyes, the big bell not only had a heavy and vast aura, but there were also many moving inscriptions on the big bell, which were even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Although Hong Yi could not read those tadpole words, based on his intuition, Hong Yi could feel that these words contained profound meanings.
These words moved on the big bell, layer by layer, as if they were traveling through the ages.
As soon as the big bell appeared, the melodious sound reverberated in Hong Yi's ears. The moving tadpole-like words also seemed to be taking Hong Yi on a journey through the void.
It felt like a long time had passed, but it also felt like a split second. Hong Yi's mind seemed to be completely suppressed by the sound of the bell and the words.
He couldn't move, he couldn't think, he couldn't even think. Even his thoughts felt like they couldn't move.
At the same time, the Almighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, who was initially ferocious and ferocious punches that stirred up a strong wind, seemed to be able to smash Su Mu into pieces in an instant. However, as soon as the big bell visualized by Su Mu's Spirit appeared, he seemed to be frozen, like a wooden Bodhisattva in a temple.
"The Daizen Temple has three great scriptures: the Amitabha Sutra of the Past, the Tathagata Sutra of the Present, and the Lifeless Future Sutra. The past, present, and future of the three great scriptures demonstrate the supreme Dao. Unfortunately, those monks do not know that whether it was the past, present, or future, it was just a matter of time. The four directions of heaven and earth are known as the universe, and since ancient times, as the universe. The past, present, and future of heaven and earth are just the universe. My Taishang Path's dao technique demonstrates the laws of time, and the Bell of Eternity suppresses the past. How can such a puny monk's dao technique from the Daizen Temple compare to it! "
The Almighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva that Hong Yi had conjured was frozen in place, unable to move, and turned into a wooden puppet. Su Mu's soft voice reached Hong Yi's ears.
"The dao technique of the Taishang Path is indeed extraordinary!" At this moment, Hong Yi finally had an understanding of the dao technique of the Taishang Path! When the Bell of Eternity conjured by Su Mu's thoughts rang, it actually stopped his thoughts, and even his Spirit Power became sluggish! This was simply too shocking!
The Taishang Path was a thousand-year-old sect that was on par with the Daizen Temple, and its dao technique was on par with the Daizen Temple. It was indeed extraordinary!
After Hong Yi cultivated the Amitabha Sutra, he was deeply impressed by the dao technique of the Daizen Temple. However, now that he was exchanging blows with Su Mu, he could also feel the earth-shattering dao technique of the Taishang Path!
"No wonder, no wonder no one dares to touch the Saintess of the Taishang Path in the Jade Capital! It turns out that she has such a powerful dao technique. It's already a blessing that she doesn't kill others! Who would dare to provoke her!? "
At this moment, Hong Yi knew that he had underestimated the Saintess of the Taishang Path, Su Mu!
"The Revered One of the World said that all the hearts are not hearts. It is called the heart, so what is it? The heart of the past cannot be obtained! The heart of the present cannot be obtained! The heart of the future cannot be obtained! The emptiness of all dharmas is also known as the dharma... "
Under the suppression of the Bell of Eternity, Hong Yi could not even use his thoughts or dao techniques. However, his spiritual power was extremely strong, especially after consuming the blood of the evil god and comprehending the ancient battle god's unyielding will. At this critical juncture, he suddenly activated the last part of the Sutra of the Past.
As he activated it, his thoughts became smoother and smoother. At first, it was like flowing water, and then it was like a raging river!
Rumble!
All his thoughts were forcefully connected, and the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, who was frozen in the void, began to move violently! Then, he threw a punch at Su Mu!
"Eh?"
Su Mu's eyes flashed. All of a sudden, a thought rose from between his brows. The Bell of Eternity immediately disappeared, turning into a nine-tiered pagoda! This nine-tiered pagoda was in the shape of a square. The moment it appeared, it seemed to envelop the entire world, filling it up endlessly.
Bam!
The moment the pagoda appeared, it pressed down violently, crushing the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva into dust. His thoughts exploded in all directions!
"The four corners of the world are called universes. Since the Bell of Eternity could not freeze your thoughts, I can only use this Taiyu Pagoda to shatter your thoughts."
After shattering the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, Su Mu looked at Hong Yi.
"The dao techniques of the Taishang Dao are indeed supreme, to be able to manifest the true meaning of the word 'universe'! However, if you continue to fight with me, I'm afraid we won't be able to determine the victor in a short period of time! "
Unexpectedly, Hong Yi did not continue attacking. Instead, he stared at Su Mu.
"Since ancient times, the universe is but the past and the present. As for the heart of the future, it is ever-changing and cannot be grasped. I'm afraid this dao technique of yours is not enough to counter the Unlivable Future Sutra. "Hong Yi continued.
"The strength you displayed just now was immense, and you were able to break free of my restraints. It must be because you consumed the Blood of the Evil God. I did not expect your dao technique to have reached such a level. However, with your strength, I'm afraid you are still not a match for Hong Xuanji. I'm afraid you will die under his Death Wheel of All Heavens. However, my words end here. Whether you submit to the Champion Marquis or not, you're on your own! "
Su Mu did not reply to Hong Yi, but merely smiled faintly. Suddenly, a void fissure appeared in front of him. He stepped into it and disappeared without a trace.
The two had only exchanged blows for a single round. There was no victor, and they did not continue fighting.
