Taiping Inn

In the next few days, Li Xuandu ignored Zhang Shishui and his party. He watched the scenery with Qin Su during the day and meditated at night. It was not until midnight on the third day that Li Xuandu was sitting in meditation. Suddenly, he felt something and walked out of the cabin. Soon Qin Su woke up from her meditation and followed Li Xuandu outside.

At this time, the big ship was still sailing on the lake. It was pitch black all around, with shadows like ghosts. There were stars and moonlight in the sky, and there were some fishing lights in the distance, but there were no human voices, flowing water, water birds, or frogs on the boat. It was extremely quiet, which made people feel depressed.

Qin Su took a few glances and said, "The person who came can pull the entire ferry into a small world without making a sound. Don't underestimate it."

Li Xuandu closed his eyes and felt for a moment, and found that this world was isolated by magic, making it impossible for him to move the vitality of the world on a large scale for his own use. He could only take advantage of it in a small area. But Li Xuandu didn't care too much. He was not a Taoist priest, and he didn't care much about external forces. As long as he had a three-foot-long sword in his hand, it would be enough.

Li Xuandu suddenly said, "Here it comes."

A strong wind suddenly rose in the sky, dark clouds covered the moon, the sky and the earth darkened, and then there was a thunderous explosion, shocking people's hearts. Then the lake in front of him kept bubbling and rippling countless ripples. Suddenly, a golden giant palm as tall as a person broke through the lake water, splashing countless water mist.

Li Xuandu waved his sleeves to prevent the water mist from getting close.

After this huge golden palm appeared, another palm followed. The two palms climbed up the building ship, causing the building ship to tilt. Li Xuandu remained calm, just said "playing tricks", then lifted his foot up and down, and with his own strength, he stopped the trend of the building ship turning sideways.

Qin Su said: "Although it is a fake Dharma image, it is almost real in this small world. It is much stronger than Master Yan. It should be the cultivation of the boundless realm of heaven and man."

Li Xuandu said, "Susu, please step back. Let me compete with this Taoist priest."

Nowadays, there are only five people in the world who have been honored as the real person, namely: Master Yuanyang Miaoyi, Master Feiyuan, Master Taiwei, Master Sanxuan, and Master Wanshou. Other Taoists, no matter how high their realm and cultivation are, cannot be called real people.

"Then be careful." Qin Su warned and stepped back.

The next moment, the entire lake surface exploded, and a six-zhang-tall golden armored god rose from the bottom of the lake, shining with golden light and full of power. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is almost the same as a god descending to the earth.

However, Li Xuandu would not be frightened by such a trick. Before the golden armored god completely left the lake, the cold air in his right palm was strong, and then the cold air was injected into the lake. The lake surface immediately formed a thick layer of ice, freezing the two calves of the golden armored god. Although Li Xuandu had only practiced the "Xuan Yin Zhenjing" for a short time, he relied on a fake pill in his body to make the five elements of qi freely transform. He transformed his qi into water qi, so the cold air was as strong as the masters of Xuannv Sect who studied this way.

Then, Li Xuandu waved his sleeves again, and a strong wind rose, causing the ferry to speed up, so that the ferry would not be trapped in place by the ice, and also to stay away from the golden armored god.

Among the five elements and eight trigrams, Zhen and thunder are yang wood, the innate trigram is in the northeast, and the acquired trigram is in the east; Xun and wind are yin wood, the innate trigram is in the southwest, and the acquired trigram is in the southeast, so the wind and thunder are both in the eastern wood of the five elements. At this time, Li Xuandu raised a strong wind, which was the wood element.

Li Xuandu had never had such a skill before. After he was promoted to the Heavenly Man Realm, he had the ability to communicate with the Heavenly Man, and then he could take advantage of the situation. Unfortunately, it is still summer, which belongs to the fire element, which is conducive to using fire to gain momentum. If it were spring, which belongs to the wood element, it would be windy weather. Li Xuandu only needed to add fuel to the fire and use the strong wind to stir up waves like a dragon in Yunmeng Lake. Similarly, Li Xuandu used the water element to freeze the lake water before, because it was in the midsummer weather of the fire element, and water and fire counteracted each other, so it took a lot of effort. If it was in the cold winter of the water element, it would be effortless, and the ice would be more solid.

This is the key to taking advantage of the situation in the Heavenly Man Realm, and it is also the fundamental meaning of the two words "Heavenly Man". The word "Heaven" means the time of day, the four seasons, spring belongs to wood, summer belongs to fire, autumn belongs to gold, and winter belongs to water. The soil is in the center, omnipresent, and unchanged in the four seasons. The method of taking advantage of the situation also requires the principle of generation and restraint. For example, wood generates fire. In spring, in addition to borrowing the wood element, borrowing the fire element is also very beneficial; while metal restrains wood, borrowing the wood element in autumn is very difficult and consumes energy.

Going with the trend is like going downstream, "leaving Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds, returning to Jiangling a thousand miles in one day." If you go against the trend, it is like going upstream, and the boatman pulls the oars and takes a lot of trouble.

But no matter whether it is going with the flow or against the flow, after all, it is borrowing the situation from heaven and earth. It is impossible to get something for nothing. You have to take out some capital. In other words, this kind of borrowing method can only be done by those who are in the realm of heaven and man. Therefore, when you reach the realm of heaven and man, the boundary between warriors and alchemists becomes more and more blurred. Warriors have various means similar to magic, and alchemists can also fight in close combat. However, many great masters in the Heavenly Realm are not like Li Xuandu who have all five elements. They can only take advantage of the power in the areas they are good at. For example, the disciples of the Xuannv Sect can only take advantage of the power of the water element, but not the power of the fire element.

Li Xuandu just made two moves. The act of freezing the lake consumed a lot of energy because of the conflict between the five elements. Although the strong wind was not generated by the five elements and was not in accordance with the time of the sky, there was already a strong wind when the golden armored god appeared in the world. Li Xuandu only slightly stimulated it, instead of creating wind out of thin air, so he still saved a lot of energy.

After the ferry sailed forward for about half a mile, the golden god finally shattered the ice, broke free of his body, and flew into the air.

Li Xuandu jumped onto the railing and took a step forward. He was suspended in the air, riding the wind.

If one cannot walk above the nine heavens in the Tianren Xiaoyao realm, how can one talk about the word "Xiaoyao"?

The golden armored god snorted heavily, like thunder, and also implied the method of taking advantage of the situation. However, it was not spring at this time, and there were no spring thunders, so it lacked a lot of power, which could only make ordinary masters of the Return to the True Realm shaken, but not to the point of losing their minds.

Li Xuandu was not affected at all, and his figure floated forward.

The golden armored god punched out, and the qi vibrated, and a strong wind blew in his face, raising waves on the lake. The ferry sails were swaying, and the boat went three times faster. Because it was summer, many guest rooms had windows facing the lake open. At this time, under the wind, the windows slammed shut one after another, making a huge noise. But strangely, there was no sound of people on the whole ferry, and no lights were on in any room. It seemed that except for Li Xuandu and Qin Su, everyone else was still sleeping soundly.

Facing this punch, Li Xuandu just raised a palm. Compared with the huge body of the golden armor god, it was naturally very small. Li Xuandu was only the size of the golden armor god's fist, but when the two palms of different sizes touched, Li Xuandu did not move at all, and the golden armor god could not move an inch.

Li Xuandu practiced the "Taishang Danjing". It was summer at this time, and the fire was very strong. As the saying goes, the southern fire overcomes the western gold. The palm of the golden armor god that touched Li Xuandu immediately showed a tendency to melt, like gold and stone being turned into molten iron.

Then Li Xuandu took this opportunity to plant a "seed" into the body of the golden armor god along the melted fist.

Li Xuandu retracted his palm, returned to the ship, and pointed at the golden-armored god. Suddenly, a dazzling golden light appeared in the body of the golden-armored god, which was even brighter than its own golden color. Then, with this golden light as the center, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the golden-armored god, which quickly spread to the whole body.

At this moment, a sigh sounded between heaven and earth.

The next moment, the golden-armored god broke into pieces, turned into a talisman, and flew out. The "seed" planted by Li Xuandu into the body of the golden-armored god flew back to Li Xuandu's hand, which was the "human world".

Li Xuandu looked up and saw a yin-yang double fish throne in the night sky in the distance. An old Taoist wearing a Bagua robe sat cross-legged on it, wearing a Five Mountains crown on his head. This crown is also called the Five Mountains Spiritual Map Crown. It is in the shape of a bucket and engraved with the Five Mountains True Shape Map. Only those who have received the "Heavenly Immortal Ring" can wear it, usually people of high moral character and prestige in Quanzhen Taoism. There were two boys, one boy and one girl, standing on the left and right of the altar. One of them held the sword for the Taoist priest, and the other held the seal for the Taoist priest. However, Li Xuandu could see that the boy and girl were not real people, but were transformed by talismans.

The Taoist priest sat on the throne, leaning forward slightly, which was considered as a kowtow. According to the ancient system, kowtow was a kneeling ceremony, but now it has been simplified to a bow, which is not solemn.

Li Xuandu returned the greeting with a bow.
