Taiping Inn

To be fair, the confidence of Taiping Sect in closing the mountain does not lie in the realm of the Seven Elders of Taiping, nor in Mr. Shen, but in the mountain protection formation that Taiping Mountain has been operating for many years, which is not inferior to the "Taishang Sanqing Dragon and Tiger Formation" of Zhengyi Sect. If Li Xuandu did not have the entrustment of Mr. Shen and the support of Mrs. Lu, he would not even be able to enter the gate of Taiping Sect. At this time, facing the formation of the Seven Elders of Taiping, it is already the result of mutual compromise among the seven elders of Taiping Sect.

Sikong Zao has practiced the "Wanhua Raozhi Sword" for many years and has refined this skill to the state of perfection. Li Xuandu dare not claim to win with skills alone. The sky net fell on his head. Li Xuandu thought about it and could only break it with force. However, his qi recovery is slow now. If he breaks it with force, it will be more and more difficult to deal with the next two moves.

Li Xuandu sighed softly and pointed with a sword. This sword had nothing to do with the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper", "Cihang Pudu Sword Canon", or "Thirteen Swords of the Moon", but was the "Against Heaven's Tribulation" sword energy, which was praised as the most powerful.

A sword energy rushed up into the sky, like a pair of scissors, tearing the falling net apart. The broken "Sky Net" turned into countless lights falling in the sky, like countless fireflies flying in the sky.

There was a light rain on the entire Yuanping Square, but the light spots dissipated in the air before they landed, and returned to the vitality of heaven and earth, which made Li Xuandu breathe a sigh of relief and slightly make up for the loss of qi in his body, which was slightly better than he expected.

The miniature sun at the fingertips of Sikong Zao began to rapidly dissipate and shrink, and finally turned into a light the size of a soybean.

The old man could not help but sigh: "The Purple Mansion Sword Immortal has learned a wide range of knowledge, which is beyond my expectation. He is not only proficient in the three major sword techniques, but also has learned the "Against Heaven's Tribulation" left by the ancient sword immortal. I am afraid that even the great sword immortals can hardly match him."

Li Xuandu humbly said: "My master can improve the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper". His swordsmanship attainments are so high that he has long disdained to copy others' knowledge. I can't compare with him."

Sikong Zao did not deny it. After all, no matter how much you learn from others' skills, it is still someone else's, and it is very different from your own skills. It is incomparable. Li Daoxu can remove the dross and retain the essence of the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper" and make it a step further, which shows that his swordsmanship has long reached the realm of not sticking to tricks. The ultimate of Li Xuandu's path is to return a thousand opportunities to one, and Li Daoxu can already transform everything into one.

After a short speech, Sikong Zao stepped back, and the person who appeared in front of Li Xuandu became Shen Yuanzhou of the Jade Balance position.

The old man smiled humorously and said, "Mr. Li, it's been a long time since we parted at the Qian family."

Li Xuandu nodded and said, "How is Senior Shen these days?"

"Fair enough." Shen Yuanzhou said, "I heard that when Mr. Li was in Xiaozhou, he helped the Xuannv Sect to resist the Yinnv Sect."

Li Xuandu smiled and said, "As a righteous man, it is my duty."

To be fair, Li Xuandu was reluctant to mention this matter. Although he and Li Feiyan did help the Xuannv Sect to repel the evil enemies, and Li Feiyan also killed Jin Shiyan, one of the Ten Palaces, Li Xuandu also took away Shi Wuyue, a prisoner of the Xuannv Sect. With Xiao Shiyu's stubborn personality, he would have to go to the door to ask for the person after knowing this. He didn't want to have any more conflicts with the Xuannv Sect because of this matter.

Shen Yuanzhou said, "I heard that the leader of the Xuannv Sect, Xiao, will come soon, so the old man from the Qian family will probably come too."

Li Xuandu said, "It's a good thing that old friends meet again."

Shen Yuanzhou smiled, stretched out his five fingers, and said, "Let's see what I can do."

The next moment, a great momentum rose from the ground below Li Xuandu.

The round square in front of the Taiping Palace was paved with square bricks, very regular, like a chessboard, but ordinary chessboards have 19 lines, while this square has 19,000 lines. As Shen Yuanzhou made his move, 19,000 crisscrossing thin lines emerged from the gaps between the square bricks, and then continued to rise, like a chessboard, and like a fine and dense net.

Needless to say, this is the "ground net" among the eight magical powers. As the saying goes, the sky net and the ground net, one up and one down, two big nets, that is impossible to escape. And Shen Yuanzhou corresponds to the central earth line in the formation.

The previous "Sky Net" fell slowly, but the "Earth Net" was the opposite, rising very quickly. Li Xuandu had to raise his body, but the "Earth Net" kept chasing him. In a blink of an eye, Li Xuandu had risen to a height of 200 feet above the Taiping Palace. Taiping Mountain was already very high, and it was 200 feet higher on the basis of Taiping Mountain, so Li Xuandu was already above the sea of ​​clouds. Then he hovered above the sea of ​​clouds, urged the five great mysterious skills, and the five elements returned to one, pouring all his own energy into the "Human World" in his hand.

Since Li Xuandu refined the half-broken sword of "Human World" into his body, he not only got "Against Heaven's Tribulation", but also could exert the greatest power when using "Human World", which was better than "Ying Emperor" in Li Yuanying's hand. If Li Xuandu can enter the realm of immortality, the "Human World" in his hand may not be worse than the immortal "Knock on the Heaven's Gate".

Li Xuandu released the "Human World" in his hand, and the long sword hung in front of Li Xuandu. Then Li Xuandu pinched the sword formula with his hand and used the "Sword Controlling Technique" to control the "Human World" to fall down.

When the sword reached the middle, one turned into two, then two turned into four, four turned into eight, and eight turned into sixteen.

Unlike the sword transformed by "Hundred Swords Guanyin", this sword was not transformed by Qi, but with "Human World" as the main trunk and branches out. Although the number of transformations was limited, its power was greater than that of "Hundred Swords Guanyin".

After a while, the sixteen swords turned into thirty-two swords, attacking the thirty-two key nodes of the ground net.

Shen Yuanzhou praised: "Mr. Li has a good eye, and he saw through the key at a glance."

Li Xuandu knew it well. In the final analysis, Shen Yuanzhou deliberately held back and only used the "ground net" in the "eight magical powers", instead of integrating the two skills into one like Sikong Zao, which gave him room to break it with skills. On the other hand, although Sikong Zao did not show mercy when he attacked, after the attack, the light rain in the air turned into the vitality of heaven and earth, which also helped Li Xuandu breathe a sigh of relief. In this regard, Shen Yuanzhong did not say much. From this point of view, although there were objections in the Taiping Sect, they were just discussing the matter at hand, and there were no other sinister means, which made Li Xuandu feel a little good about it.

As the voice fell, the thirty-two "human worlds" pierced the "ground net" and reunited, and Li Xuandu also fell down and returned to the original height.

In this way, there was only one move left in the seven-move agreement. Li Xuandu still had half of his energy left because of Shen Yuanzhou's mercy and the light rain left by Sikong Zao. If it was just Shen Yuanzhong, even if Li Xuandu only had half of his energy left, he would not be afraid. But now Shen Yuanzhong has gathered the power of seven people in the formation, which is not easy to deal with.

Shen Yuanzhou, who was in the Yuheng position, moved away, and Shen Yuanzhong, who was in the Tianquan position, finally appeared in front of Li Xuandu.

The great elder of the Taiping Sect had a head of white hair combed neatly, and his clothes and accessories were meticulous. Although his eyes were slightly turbid, they were bright and energetic. When Li Xuandu looked at him, he was also looking at Li Xuandu.

To be fair, if he had not met Li Xuandu in this situation, Shen Yuanzhong would have praised him as a young talent. But now his position is different. The more outstanding Li Xuandu is, the more difficult it is for him.

Shen Yuanzhong does not disregard the power in his hands, but if he is purely opposed to this matter for the power in his hands, it is too much to underestimate him.

He is for the eternal foundation of Taiping Sect.

Shen Yuanzhong is not worried about whether Li Xuandu can be a good leader of Taiping Sect, and he does not doubt Li Xuandu's ability. After all, Li Xuandu has been valued by three immortal masters, which is enough to show his own ability. Whether it is the qualifications for practicing martial arts and swordsmanship, or the mind of dealing with people, he is a superior choice. He just doesn't believe that there are so-called righteous people in this world. In a wealthy family, the one who can really ruin the huge family business of his ancestors is not the kind of dandy who only knows how to eat, drink, gamble, and prostitute, but the kind of person who is determined to make a career. After all, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling only cost a few dollars, and supporting a wealthy idler for a lifetime is just a drop in the bucket. But if it is a business, it is not a small amount. If you make money, it is okay, but if you lose, you will lose everything. Similarly, the children of the dukes and marquises are the same. The useless children will not cause the whole family to be executed. At most, they will have no power. It is not difficult to be safe and wealthy. I am afraid that those who are determined to make progress will participate in the struggle in the temple. I don’t know when, one wrong step will bring disaster.

This is what he is afraid of. If Shen Wuyou asked Shen Changsheng to be the leader, Shen Yuanzhong would not object. He would not give up his old face and compete with a child for the position of leader. It is also because Shen Changsheng’s realm is too weak, and he is not even qualified to cause an irreparable disaster. But Li Xuandu is different. He has a good status in the martial arts world, a high level of cultivation, connections, and the ability to do things. He is also young and energetic, and at the age of being determined to make progress. If he is allowed to be the leader of the Taiping Sect, it is not difficult to predict what he will lead the Taiping Sect to do. Shen Yuanzhong did not dare to gamble with the foundation of the Taiping Sect, betting that Li Xuandu can succeed. The most feared thing in the world is the word "gamble". If the bet is right, everything will be fine. If the bet is lost, it will be a disaster.

In addition, Li Xuandu is an outsider after all, and he is from the Qingwei Sect. There are complicated forces behind him. It is easy to give up the position of the leader of the Taiping Sect today, but when he has established a firm foothold in the Taiping Sect, it will be difficult to take it back at that time.

Because of this, Shen Yuanzhong came up with such a method. In name, he wanted to see whether Li Xuandu's realm was high enough, but in fact, he wanted to use this method to undermine Li Xuandu.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuanzhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "If Li Xuandu is really a mediocre person with mediocre cultivation, there is no need to put up such a battle. Even if we give up the position of the sect leader to him, what will happen? But at this time, we are afraid of such talented people."
