Chapter 879 Tang Chen's Enlightenment, Xiao Jun's Discussion! (Combined Chapter)
I wish you all a happy National Day!
(Correction: The previous article is wrong. According to the age of Bei Ming Xing Hai Soul Douluo's cultivation, he should be the grandfather of the current 15-year-old group favorite Bei Ming Ling Yu. The previous article has been corrected.)

"Is this the end?"

"What else do you want? The two sides are at a stalemate, so of course they stopped."

"Haven't you heard what the adults said? This is already a title-level battle."

"Indeed, if the fighting continues, I'm afraid the Duke's Mansion and the surrounding area will be destroyed."

"That's right. Even though we're fighting in the sky, the aftermath, sparks, and the like don't have eyes."

"Well, the large shield doesn't cover a large area, but the titled seniors will definitely not ignore it."

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I never expected that this finale would be such a grand finale."

"It's a pity that they don't continue to fight."

"Be content. The few moves just now made the heaven and earth pale in comparison and all things deaf. It's not enough to watch it?"

"Yes, yes. It was so dangerous just now. The aftermath of the fights swept over me several times. Even through the protective shield, I was trembling with fear."

"Me too, it looks good, but it's too scary."

"Yes, if it weren't for today's competition, I wouldn't have known that the young man from the Chen family was so strong."

"Well, this Big Dipper Tiangang Formation, with ten young men setting up the formation, actually exerted the combat power of the title, which is out of the ordinary."

"Yeah, what if it's their parents? What about their grandparents?"

"I dare not imagine it. According to rumors, the Chen family has a peerless formation that protects the family. Could it be this Beidou Tiangang Formation?"

"Don't think too much. Although the formation is powerful, it still needs people to control it. I believe that this formation can exert the combat power of the title. Chen Xiaojun, who is in charge of the formation, plays a huge role. If it is replaced by someone else, it may not be the same."

"Well, the title of the fifth genius is well deserved by Chen Xiaojun!"

"Unfortunately, their formation failed to defeat Qiandaoliu."

"On the other hand, didn't Qian Daoliu break this formation? He has been on the top of the list for three consecutive years and is on both lists. He can almost be said to be the number one prodigy in the past hundred years."

"I think Chen Xiaojun has the potential to be on par with him."

"Every generation has its own talented people, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years! He really has the potential to say such things."

"From now on, the two of them will be the pinnacle of the soul master world. It's their era."

"Don't make any arbitrary judgments. Isn't there a 'Proud Daughter of Heaven' who is at the top of the Tianjiao list? Tianshi City has a very high opinion of her."

“Well, after this battle, this Chen Xiaojun, who used to be famous throughout the world, is now famous beyond measure.”

"Well, based on this record, I think his ranking among the geniuses will be raised again."

"I think the Saint of Qiandaoliu should be mentioned for his ranking on the list. He is only ninth on the list, which is really an eyesore."

"Not only them, the Chen family's Seven Star Sword will also be improved a lot. After all, Tianshi City can't be blind anymore."

"What rank do you think Chen Xiaojun will get? Is it possible that he will be ranked first directly?"

"It's hard to say. Chen Xiaojun was able to fight Qian Daoliu only because of the blessing of the formation, but the top girl defeated the combined forces of Soul Saint and Soul Emperor alone."

"Yeah, yeah, and both of them are Soul Sects. Do you think the leader will come and fight with Chen Xiaojun if he finds out?"

"There is too little information about this top girl. Tianshi City is really too mysterious. It would be best if she showed up and let them fight."

………………

Iron Hand Douluo laughed and said, "Brother Chenyu, your family's unique skills are not only the 'World's Best Sword', I'm afraid you also have the 'World's Best Palm'!"

Dust Jade: Uェ*U
Iron Hand Douluo continued, "There are only a few soul masters who can rival the Angel Clan's 'Judgment Purification' secret technique, let alone rely on palm techniques."

Chen Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Tie Shou, you are too kind. Your Mo family's Tyrant Fist is also very famous."

Tie Shou Douluo smiled slightly, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "I, Mo Tie Shou, do have some good eyesight. Brother Chen Yu, those two palm prints obviously have further changes, right?"

Chen Yu nodded gently: "Yes."

Mo Tieshou said with a hint of regret: "It's a pity that I didn't get to see his demeanor in person."

At this time, Ma Tianyang wiped the wine stains from his lips and sighed, "I didn't expect Xiao Cong's Beidou Tiangang Formation to be so powerful. A few young boys joined forces to set up the formation and could actually reach the combat power of the Titled Douluo level."

Yang Jingxue echoed, "It's mainly because Xiaojun is good at fighting."

Fang Yuan pulled the wine jar and said, "Damn it, Xiao Ma, how much of this wine have you drunk? I didn't even mention the eighth grade wine just now. You're still drinking this seventh grade wine. Leave some for everyone."

Then he paused and continued, "Jingxue is right, that boy is really good at fighting. It's rare to find such a good fighter nowadays."

Ma Tianyang glared at him and refilled his glass. "Not many people, let's be honest, among the families present, which child can beat Xiaojun?"

Gui Changhao also nodded in praise: "And his defensive power, the black and white diagram is very mysterious."

"In addition, the shaping of the Black Tortoise, the transformation and enlightenment, I have to say that the Lingyuan Black Tortoise has greatly improved his defense."

Ximen Wenhua looked at Chen Yu and asked, "Brother Yu, this Beidou Tiangang Formation seems to have a lot in common with your family's Seven Killing Sword Formation, but the threshold seems to be lower."

"However, some of the concepts are quite advanced. Is it an experimental work to advance to the Seven Killing Sword Formation?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, Ah Cong also has this idea."

Ximen Wenhua exclaimed: "It's good to have a master of theory who is also proficient in formations."

Fang Yuan suddenly interrupted and said, "Xiao Yu, what exactly was that purple starlight phantom that Xiao Jun released just now?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Tang Yue and Yu Yongyuan, looked over. It was obvious that Fang Yuan had asked what they were thinking.

Chen Yu explained: "Xiao Jun has already said it just now, it's just a body shaping enhancement."

When everyone heard this, their faces had different expressions, and many people secretly complained in their hearts: "I don't believe you, that kind of transcendent and vast Taoist aura can only be achieved by shaping the body?!"

………………

Tang Xiao suddenly seemed to come to his senses and muttered in disbelief, "How could Chen Xiaojun suddenly reach level 48?"

"I remember it clearly. He was only level 39 a month ago. His promotion speed is too fast!"

Tang Chen shook his head slightly, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he responded calmly: "Obtaining a ten thousand year spirit ring can indeed bring a significant level improvement to a gifted spirit master."

“With the help of precious spirit bones or elixirs, it is not impossible to reach this level.”

However, there was a hint of loneliness in his words.

Tang Chen has always claimed to be a peerless genius and has a very high opinion of himself, but today he suffered a series of setbacks.

He was first defeated by Chen Jianjun, and then the appearance of Chen Xiaojun and Qian Daoliu made him deeply realize the truth that "there are always people better than you and there are always mountains better than you".

What’s more, Chen Xiaojun is at the same level as him, 48, and they just challenged each other.

He originally thought that he might be able to compete with Chen Jianjun, but at this moment he had to admit that he seemed to be lacking some skills in front of Chen Xiaojun.

If that was Chen Xiaojun's fate, he would probably lose even more miserably than against Chen Jianjun.

It is true that Chen Xiaojun's soul power has been enhanced by the formation, but whether he can bring it into full play is another matter.

From the previous close combat between Chen Xiaojun and Qian Daoliu, it was not difficult to see his outstanding performance in Soul Saint-level experience, physical endurance, and reaction speed.

Every confrontation between them was like a thunderclap, making people's hearts surge.

Just imagine, if a person suddenly gained power beyond his limit, how could he easily master it?

The fact that Chen Xiaojun can use this Soul Saint-level power freely shows that his body, spirit and even mentality have adapted to this level.

(In fact, regarding the issues of physical strength, She Yaolei and the others were just temporarily immersed in the shocking battle scene and had not recovered. But as long as they think about it for a while, they will definitely think of this.)
There are some things that you cannot master just because you want to. If you don't have the ability, you can't force it.

This means that Chen Xiaojun not only possesses great talent and strength, but also has gradually reached this level after countless battles and trials.

Improving your strength requires time and unremitting efforts.

What's more, to unleash the combat power of a Titled Douluo, top-notch soul skills and secret techniques are indispensable.

In this regard, Chen Xiaojun had obviously distanced himself from him.

If it were Tang Chen himself, with his current strength, even if he used external forces to increase his soul power to the Soul Sage level, he would definitely not be able to burst out the combat power of the Titled Douluo level.

Although the Tang family has the Great Sumeru Hammer, he cannot wield it now.

Of course, it is also difficult for Chen Yanwu and Chen Jianjun to do what Chen Xiaojun did.

Tang Chen knew very well that the gap between himself and Chen Xiaojun was not only reflected in soul power and skills, but also in mentality and combat experience.

As for Qian Daoliu, the age of his soul skills revealed his potential at that time.

He was not the high-level Soul Douluo as everyone had speculated, but a powerful being with titled combat power.

Here, we need to make it clear that we cannot use the standards of Qian Renxue in later generations to measure the combat effectiveness of the six-winged angel clan, because she possesses god-level qualifications, which is the ceiling among the angel clan.

As for Qian Daoliu, his qualifications are already top-notch among the inheritors of the six-winged angel clan.

Generally speaking, a normal inheritor of a six-winged angel can be upgraded to a higher level at the Soul Saint stage, and possessing the combat power of a high-level Soul Douluo is the normal standard.

But Qian Daoliu is extraordinary. His strength has increased by two major levels, reaching the titled combat power of level 92-93, which is extremely rare among the angel clan.

Thinking of this, Tang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath. He still had a long way to go, and only by continuous efforts could he catch up with these geniuses.

Right now, he doesn't have the confidence and determination of the peerless Douluo of later generations. …………

After Chen Xiaojun finished the battle, he immediately returned to the room in the back with Chen Jia Jiuxing, who was almost exhausted from controlling the sword formation, to rest and recuperate.

"How do you feel?" Chen Cong asked with concern.

Chen Xiaojun gently covered his chest and panted slightly, "After taking the Purple Cloud Silver Leaf Pill and regulating my breathing for a while, I feel much better."

"Just now I performed the Seven Wound Seal beyond my level. Even with the help of Starlight, my meridians are still slightly damaged."

Yes, he just used the Seven Wounds Seal to perform it at a higher level.

After all, the Seven Wound Seal requires the support of the profound Nine Yang Divine Art.

Under normal circumstances, the use of the Dayang Sword requires the seventh level of the Nine Yang Divine Art, while the core of the Seven Injury Seal, the Shaoyang Sword, also requires the Nine Yang Divine Art to reach the fifth level of unity and form the Nine Yang Divine Pearl before it can be activated.

However, although Chen Xiaojun has intensified his training this month, he has only reached the initial stage of the fourth level of Nine Yang Divine Transformation.

What’s more crucial is that what he just used was a variant of the Seven Wounds Seal of Star Power, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty and danger of its use.

Chen Cong sighed: "Your move this time will undoubtedly make you more eye-catching."

Chen Xiaojun smiled helplessly: "It's actually too late to be on the Tianjiao list. It's just the difference between getting more attention and getting more attention. At this moment, I can't let my brothers down and I can't lose my spirit."

Chen Cong nodded and continued to ask: "So what were the results of your experiment this time?"

Chen Xiaojun pondered for a moment and said, "This mark is just a battle mark at the moment. As for whether there is a backhand or malicious intent, it cannot be determined for the time being."

Chen Cong continued to ask: "Are there any other discoveries?"

Chen Xiaojun shook his head: "My Dao Domain is pretty good in terms of amplification and defense, but I haven't faced a real domain head-on."

"After all, this domain is composed of a combination of multiple skills. Without a high-intensity collision, it is difficult to test its true strength."

"Qian Daoliu's last domain didn't hit me."

"Moreover," Chen Xiaojun added, "the core of the Dao Realm is the watermarked Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram on the external soul bone. This time it mainly provides defense and amplification effects for Xuanwu."

"As for attacking, whether it's the duel between domains or the battle between Xuanwu and Fire Phoenix, there's no room for them to be fully utilized because of the long distance."

Chen Cong smiled calmly and sighed slowly: "This Gan Jiang Moye Sword with the fourth soul ring, plus the soul bones it brings, passive skills, basic skills, combination skills, soul bone skills, Dao domain, more than ten skills, are enough to build a Titled Douluo-level combat system."

Chen Xiaojun had a trace of relief and a calm smile on his face: "Lingyuan Xuanwu gave me too much, I feel embarrassed."

Yes, in today's battle, apart from the noble and unparalleled Chunjun Sword, Chen Xiaojun only relied on the Gan Jiang and Moye swords plus the "Xuanwu Reappearance" to defend against the enemy from beginning to end.

Whether it's close combat or energy-intensive long-range attacks, he can handle it with ease.

Then Chen Xiaojun analyzed them one by one: "Among the passive skills, the power of destruction and the power of divine erosion are very powerful; the skill of 'fusion' combines the two, and the combat power soars; and the passive skill 'watch' that has not yet been used has unlimited potential."

Note: Gan Jiang and Moye are twin swords, and there are two passive skills for interaction between them, 'Fusion' and 'Watch', which can be counted as half of each other.

"As for the combined attack skill 'Yin Yang Mysterious Shield', it has achieved the expected effect."

"In addition, the combination of 'Spiritual Soil Shaping' and 'Spiritual Abyss Waterfall' to control soil and water is also good, providing Xuanwu with long-lasting combat support."

"Unfortunately, I had intended to keep the Yin-Yang reversal and the combined attack skill 'Breath of Black Tortoise' as a backup, but I never expected that Qian Daoliu would eventually choose to retreat."

Chen Cong heard this and said with a smile: "Why retreat? It was just a matter of assessing the situation."

"However, since the power of destruction and divine erosion is strong, you can strengthen its development and increase your attack power."

"You used them in the Yin-Yang Seven Slashes today, which is a good way to use the pattern."

Chen Xiaojun nodded, then sighed softly, and said: "I didn't have the opportunity to use the defensive power of my external soul bone - the tortoise shell and the torso bone soul skill 'Xuanwu Suppression' today. I don't know the limit of my defensive power."

Chen Cong nodded: "Even so, your defense system is already quite complete, but you need to pay attention to the time interval between the stacking effects of your skills."

"With your current defensive capabilities, we can feel more at ease." Chen Cong continued.

Chen Xiaojun laughed heartily: "Haha, Xuanwu is the leader of the spirit turtles and the leader of the shelled insects. Its defensive power is unmatched."

Chen Cong showed a little doubt: "Insect?"

Chen Xiaojun explained: "This is the classification of animals in the heavens and the worlds. The Kun class among the 蠃砃砃毛羽麒麟 is a crustacean. In ancient times, 蠃砃 was called 砃蠃, also known as 砃蠃." (The fat Western guy in the TV series Journey to the West pronounced 蠃luo as ying.)
Chen Cong's interest was instantly aroused, and he asked curiously, "What are the strengths of the other four insects?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and explained: "Scales refer to creatures covered with scales, and dragons are the leaders of scaled insects; hair refers to creatures covered with thick hair, which are mainly beasts, and Qilin is the leader of hairy insects; feathers naturally refer to flying birds, and phoenixes are the leaders of feathered insects."

"As for loaches, they refer to creatures with little or no hair. Humans are the leaders of loaches. Because humans can balance yin and yang, they are regarded as the leaders of all spirits."

"However, when it comes to the true leader of all spirits, it should be a race close to the origin of Tao. They are unconscious and indescribable beings."

"Humans cannot understand their existence. They only think that their form is 'formless and wriggling' and can only regard them as 'earthworms'."

“Of course, we can also call them innately sacred.”

Having said that, Chen Xiaojun smiled awkwardly, realizing that he had gone off topic.

He quickly changed the subject and continued, "Regarding the other four insects, there is a saying: 'Insects with hair and feathers are all born from the Yang energy of the sky; insects with shells and scales are born from the Yin energy of the earth.' (From Huainanzi Tianwen Xun). Insects with hair and feathers are flying, so they belong to Yang; insects with shells and scales are dormant, so they belong to Yin."

Chen Cong heard this and nodded thoughtfully: "Yin Yang?"

Chen Xiaojun answered affirmatively: "Yes, the way of yin and yang is the fundamental law of the evolution of the world. It is everywhere and permeates everything."

"Our family's Yin-Yang theory is still only at the level of attribute application. It's just the tip of the iceberg."

Chen Cong sighed: "This knowledge of cultivating immortals is really extensive and profound, which makes people want to explore it in depth."

Chen Xiaojun slowly elaborated: "The essence and general outline of Taoist cultivation can be summarized as the sixteen words of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into Tao. Its ultimate meaning is to achieve the harmonious unity of man and nature. No matter what kind of practice method is used, it will eventually return to this state."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Essence, Qi, Spirit, Void, Dao?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled slightly and explained: "In fact, these are quite similar to the cultivation of our soul masters."

"Spirit, energy and spirit are self-evident. As for 'emptiness', we can understand it in a narrow sense as artistic conception, domain and rules, and then reach the state of the three flowers gathering at the top of the head."

"When the rules are perfect, they can be sublimated into laws. This is the 'Tao' in 'Lianxu Hedao'."

"Eventually, the soul master will transform into a god-level powerhouse."

Chen Cong heard this, a gleam in his eyes, and agreed: "Well, this is very pertinent."

Chen Xiaojun continued, "Because of this, I have always believed that our Chen family is highly compatible with Taoist techniques. This is also an important reason why I advocate that the Chen family follow the lineage of the Sword Immortal."

He paused, then continued: "These sixteen words were already apparent when we were at the lower level of the ninth level of the Transcendental (ninth level of Soul Master)."

“However, when one enters the heavenly stage, that is, the first level of god or immortal, a new chapter in the path of cultivation begins.”

“It is still the same process of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao, but this time, what is cultivated is a more advanced energy (the qi of heaven and earth), the three great flowers, the laws and the Dao.”

"This is exactly the core theory of the mainstream Taoist inner alchemy practice school."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong couldn't help but ask, "So, isn't this just reincarnation after reincarnation, going round and round?"

Chen Xiaojun nodded and said with emotion: "That's right. This is a perfect closed loop of cultivation theory, but the loop is different in size. The size of the loop is different in different realms."

He went on to say: “At the transcendent level, Taoism seeks harmony between man and nature; at the heavenly level, it seeks resonance between man and the universe.”

"In their worldview, the world is an interactive, interconnected, indivisible whole."

Chen Cong was shocked when he heard this, and sighed: "We soul masters only know how to cultivate ourselves, and our vision and worldview are indeed much narrower, so it is much more difficult for us to comprehend."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun said with deep agreement, "That's true."

"Looking at the world of soul masters, it is precisely because of this narrow-mindedness that the methods for increasing understanding and cultivating spiritual power are quite superficial, and many people are stuck here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong fell into deep thought and was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, Chen Cong slowly raised his head and said, "In the future, it seems that you need to strengthen your training on the relationship between man and nature and society, increase your understanding, and expand your worldview."

Chen Xiaojun nodded before continuing.

He said with emotion: "I feel that Xuanwu True Water and Sea Heart Flame are really powerful. The moment they merged into Xuanwu's body, Xuanwu's strength instantly soared by more than double."

Chen Cong nodded in agreement: "Of course, after all, this is the True Water Fire. It is a rare opportunity to encounter a cluster of this kind of spiritual creature."

"Even with my mother's help, it still took a lot of resources to get the Sea Heart Flame from Sea God Island this time."

Chen Xiaojun continued, "Indeed, Xuanwu True Water is the cultivation object of Lingyuan Xuanwu, needless to say, and the Sea Heart Flame, a strange fire that can dissolve in water, is extremely compatible with the properties of yin and yang."

"This True Water and Strange Fire, in general, tends to be negative, which coincides with the negative things we mentioned earlier, such as 'intermedium, hibernation', etc."

Upon hearing this, Chen Cong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Wouldn't that cause a bias in yin and yang?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled and replied: "No, Yin gives birth to Yang, and Yin and Yang transform into each other, which is in line with the Yin and Yang principle."

"According to the theory of the four images of yin and yang, it can be called Taiyin."

"In the future, we just need to let the spirit ring find a spirit beast with stronger yang energy, and we can reconcile the balance."

Chen Cong suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. It seems that you already have a general plan in mind for the soul beasts of your future soul rings."

Chen Xiaojun nodded gently: "Yes. However, plans cannot keep up with changes, so we will adjust them when the time comes."

Chen Cong glanced at him and asked, "Then for your Dark Sea Seven Killing Sword, are you still going to choose the group attack type?"

Chen Xiaojun pondered for a moment and replied, "No hurry, wait until the fifth soul skill is completed. By then, I will be promoted to Soul King, and my combat power and physique will be roughly finalized. Then I can choose the soul skill of the Seven Killing Swords of the Nether Sea to supplement it."
