Zhang Yu waved his hand, and a ray of sword light shot down from the sky, hovering by his side. The shockwave caused his robes to flutter wildly.
The method he chose to use against Nie Yin wasn't the dodging method that everyone thought he would use, but rather, he was going to crush his opponent head-on!
He had thought about it a long time ago. No matter how powerful Nie Yin's supernatural powers were, there would still be a limit. Otherwise, even a Mystique Venerable Rank would not be a match for him. This limit had to be something that Nie Yin could endure.
Therefore, he made a mental calculation. He believed that with his current cultivation level and strength of heart, he could completely defeat Nie Yin head-on.
In order to be sure, he even had Bai Guo run a simulation, and the results were the same.
That was why Nie Yin was wrong. He didn't use his sword to probe the opponent's Qi. Instead, he wanted the opponent's Divine Ability to reach the peak as soon as possible so that he could destroy the opponent in one strike.
At this moment, everyone present was shocked speechless. They had thought of all sorts of ways to deal with Nie Yin, but never would they have thought that Zhang Yu would choose the most impossible method.
In fact, it wasn't that no one had thought of this method before, but no one had actually succeeded. They didn't think that anyone could do it, so they instinctively ignored this point.
However, Zhang Yu's attack completely shattered their inherent understanding, causing them to be momentarily dazed.
Yu Ruiqing looked at the clear sky and couldn't help but sigh. "The clear sky is like a mirror, cleansing my heart of dust."
On the rooftop, Nie Yin's attack was broken by Zhang Yu's sword, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Then, a timid look gradually appeared in his eyes. It was as if his confidence and courage had been given away with this attack. His initial timid self had returned.
At this moment, Shen Ruo Qiu said to the stage, "Fellow Nie, admit defeat. There's no point in continuing this battle."
Zhang Yu was able to break through Nie Yin's attack head-on, which meant that this attack no longer posed any threat to him.
He observed that Zhang Yu's aura hadn't weakened in the slightest, and he seemed to be able to receive even more similar attacks. This was truly an unimaginably deep accumulation.
On the other hand, Nie Yin's aura was much weaker than before. It wasn't even half as strong as when he was at his peak. This was because he had suffered some damage from using his Divine Ability.
In that case, there was no need to continue fighting. It was better to admit defeat in advance.
"Ah, oh, oh."
Nie Yin only reacted after hearing his words. He retracted his Dharmic powers and sincerely bowed to Zhang Yu. "Fellow Daoist, I have lost."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and said, "If Fellow Daoist wants to sever the 'timid heart', then why don't you try not to use the divine ability that is triggered by the 'timid heart'?"
Nie Yin thought about it and hesitated for a moment, but still bowed gratefully and said, "Thank you for your advice, Fellow Daoist."
Zhang Yu knew that he didn't want to give up, but he had given him a piece of advice. It was up to Nie Yin whether he listened or not. With a twist of his wrist, he sheathed the Cicada Sword. With a flick of his sleeve, he walked down from the rooftop.
Yin Huating suppressed the excitement in his heart and came forward to bow. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, congratulations."
Zhang Yu nodded his head slightly. In his opinion, it was just a spar to win against someone of the same generation. There was nothing worth praising about it.
Yin Huating turned around and said to Shen Ruo Qiu, "Fellow Daoist Shen, what do you think..."
Shen Ruo Qiu looked at Zhang Yu and said, "In this round of sparring, your side has won. Especially in today's battle, we accept our defeat wholeheartedly."
Zhang Yu didn't use any tricks in this battle. He faced his opponent head-on. It could be said that he won fair and square, leaving his opponent speechless.
Previously, he thought that other than Xuan Zun disciples like Shi Yanxin, the rest of Xuanxiu were not worth mentioning. However, Zhang Yu changed his opinion.
He looked at Shi Yanxin again and said, "Fellow Daoist, I know that you are worried about Xuanxiu's current situation. However, forgive me for being blunt. Although you won the battle on Kui Constellation Earth, there are other places to spar in the Four Symbols Heavens. Xuanxiu's victory alone won't change the overall situation."
Shi Yanxin was silent for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Shen, have you heard about it too?"
Shen Ruo Qiu nodded and said, "I've heard about it. However, I thought that Xuanting wouldn't give up on Xuan Dao. After all, creations aren't good at transformation. They won't be able to gain an advantage against the Evil Gods and Shangchen. Moreover, there are many Xuanxiu outside. If they give up on Xuan Dao, they will be destroying their own city. Fellow Daoist, why worry about this?"
Shi Yanxin, however, remained silent.
Zhang Yu shook his head slightly. As someone who came from the Qingyang Upper Continent, he knew that this wasn't the problem.
Xuanting indeed wouldn't give up on Xuanxiu. However, Xuanxiu was different from True Cultivation. Its foundation was based on the millions of people in Tianxia. Once Xuanting encouraged creations, how many people would be willing to learn Xuan Dao?
Most of the students would probably choose to study creations or simply choose the path of armor. After all, it was much more convenient and faster to obtain power than cultivating.
From his heart, he didn't want to see Xuan Dao wither away just like that. This wasn't because he was Xuanxiu. Instead, Xuan Dao allowed many people who weren't as talented as True Cultivation to find a way to ascend to the Upper Realm with their own bodies. This would allow the level of life to increase.
Furthermore, Xuan Dao was still in the process of being established. There was still a lot of potential to be unearthed. It shouldn't be stopped here.
However, he didn't have the ability to change this at the moment. Only when he reached the Upper Realm and succeeded in Xuan Zun would he be qualified to intervene in this matter.
At this time, Yin Huanting invited Shen Ruo Qiu and Nie Yin to stay for a banquet. However, the two didn't have the heart to do so. After declining, they left together.
Zhang Yu and Shi Yanxin chatted for a while and didn't plan to participate in the banquet. Just as he was about to return to his room to cultivate, Yu Ruiqing said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, may I have the honor of inviting Fellow Daoist Zhang to tea?"
Zhang Yu glanced at him and nodded.
At this moment, the news of True Cultivation's defeat and Xuanxiu's victory spread outside. The entire Hanging Star Palace was in an uproar.
Xuanxiu hadn't won a single victory in the past ten years. This caused many Xuanxiu to lose hope. However, this time, they actually defeated True Cultivation. Moreover, they didn't lose a single battle. This was truly inspiring.
Yin Huanting walked outside and saw this scene. He sighed and said, "It's not easy to win a single victory in ten years. If this news spreads, I think it will encourage even more of our fellow Daoists."
Shi Yanxin shook his head and said, "In the end, this can't be compared to the success of Xuan Zun."
Yin Huanting thought for a moment. The excitement he felt just now calmed down. He sighed and said, "Yes, but this is too difficult."
Shi Yanxin said firmly, "No matter how difficult it is, we have to do it. Teacher told me that if Xuanting can have another Xuan Zun in the next few decades, the situation can be slightly stabilized. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be more variables. "
He looked up. "This debate has given me a lot of inspiration. After this Mystic Venerable Speech, I will go into seclusion and cultivate for a period of time. I will leave the outside matters to you, fellow daoist."
Yin Huanting nodded in agreement. Then, he changed his mind and asked, "Brother Shi, what do you think of Fellow Daoist Zhang?"
Shi Yanxin was silent for a moment. He said, "He's a true Daoist."
"Huh?"
Yin Huanting was slightly puzzled by this.
However, Shi Yanxin didn't explain further. He glanced at the disciples below the hall who were still congratulating him. Then, he turned and left.
In the Wavering Light Hall, Zhang Yu and Yu Ruiqing sat across from each other.
After the two of them discussed Daoist techniques for a while, Yu Ruiqing took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea. She said, "I have to thank you for the matter of my disciple."
Zhang Yu said, "So Fellow Daoist Yu is Yue Shunv's teacher."
Yu Ruiqing said seriously, "The Jade Slip that Fellow Daoist Zhang gave is enough to save my disciple several years of hard work. As her teacher, I owe you a favor. If Fellow Daoist Zhang needs my help in the future, if you don't mind, feel free to find me."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly and said, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist in the future."
After the two of them drank tea for a while, Zhang Yu proposed to observe the Xuan Pillar in the Wavering Light Hall. Yu Ruiqing happily agreed and accompanied him to the Xuan Pillar. Zhang Yu carefully sensed the Xuan Pillar and stayed until evening. Then, he said goodbye and left.
Back in the Kaiyang Palace, Zhang Yu sat down on the couch and summoned the Great Way Xuan Seal.
He looked at it. At this moment, there was an additional seal on it. The name of the seal was "Divine Instinct."
This was the seal that he had recently created. He intended to use this as the third core seal of the visualization diagram.
If the Word Seal was the main cicada's cry and the Sword Seal was the main cicada's wings, then the Divine Instinct Seal was the main cicada's god.
Cultivators had a sense of crisis. If they could avoid calamities and survive at critical moments, it would be easier for them to find the enemy's flaws and opportunities in the battle. If it was used in cultivation, it would be easier for them to grasp a trace of inspiration in the unseen world.
However, under the premise that he didn't borrow the Great Chaos, the seal that was generated in the Xuan Seal must be something that he understood. At least, he had mastered a little and was familiar with the ability.
Fortunately, he originally had two seals that were mainly biased towards perception. One was the Seal of Foresight, and the other was the Seal of Observation.
However, whether it was Foresight or Observation, they weren't enough to be the core seal. However, the Divine Instinct Seal was created by referring to the many seals that he had recently observed and taking into account the growth of both. Like the Sword Seal, it could be constantly improved and grow.
However, even so, this seal seemed to be lacking something at the moment.
Even if he was willing to invest Divine Vitality in the Xuan Seal to improve it, it was still based on his own understanding. There was no way to create knowledge that he didn't understand out of thin air.
Unless he was willing to accept the Great Chaos, then he could make up for everything.
However, the Great Chaos would satisfy his requirements, but at the same time, it would also bring many inexplicable things. Moreover, once he was infected, it wouldn't be so easy to get rid of it. Therefore, he didn't intend to do so.
Fortunately, two days later, it would be the Xuan Zun Lecture. At that time, it might bring him some inspiration and then improve this seal.
After thinking about it, he put away the Great Way Xuan Seal. Then, his mind sank and he entered meditation.
