The Ji Family's Pride

Chapter 176: In front of Wandao Palace (Second update for Zhuang Zizai)
"That's right." Huanglong God nodded.

"If I could fully display my sword skills..." Ji Xiaoshan murmured.

After coming out from his master, the Three Pure Ones, he felt more confident.

"So..." Ji Xiaoshan looked at Huang Long Tianshen, "Brother Huang Long, if I don't use my magical powers, and only rely on my enlightenment and swordsmanship to fight the puppets, which level of puppet is the most suitable for me to compete with now?"

Huang Long Tianshen went to Da Xia World a little early, and naturally watched most of the Immortal Fate Conference, and naturally saw his own strength. And he had guarded the Wan Dao Palace countless years ago, so it was naturally very appropriate for Ji Xiaoshan to ask him.

"With Junior Brother's strength..." Huang Long Tianshen was stunned, and then he said, "The reciprocating sword technique Junior Brother used at the Immortal Fate Conference can easily reach the level of a fifth-order puppet. If he fights against a fifth-order puppet, victory is a sure thing. If he fights against a sixth-order puppet... it will be a bit difficult to win!"

"Is it a bit difficult to defeat a sixth-level puppet?" Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved. "I looked through the sixth-level magic and secret techniques before, and found that the power retained in it can reach the seventh style in the nine chapters of the wooden ruler..."

"Then the nine pieces of wooden rulers obtained from the Black and White Academy are at least a pure Yang level ruler technique, or even a Da Luo level one. Such a profound method has never appeared before... So this level of method is definitely impossible to be created by the Black and White Celestial Immortal..."

"Brother Huang Long said that my reciprocating sword style was a bit of a stretch to defeat the sixth-order puppet... That means that the power of my swordsmanship, which is based on the great way of cause and effect and the way of the sword, can barely reach this level. The power of my swordsmanship is equivalent to the sixth and seventh styles of the Nine Chapters of the Wooden Ruler..."

Ji Xiaoshan looked at Master Huanglong and said, "Brother, I want to fight that sixth-level puppet!"

"Fight against a sixth-order puppet?" The Yellow Dragon God was stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go to Junior Brother Tianhua and let you fight against the sixth-order puppet."

……

On the open space outside Wandao Palace.

"All of you move back!" Tianhua God said lightly.

Wow~~

All of a sudden, all the Taoist cultivators and disciples stepped back far away, making room for the competition with the puppets.

"Uncle Qingping, I wonder which level of puppet you are going to fight against?" Tianhua God asked.

"Let's just go with level six!" Ji Xiaoshan smiled slightly.

"Okay." Tianhua God nodded.

He just waved his hand, and a puppet about ten feet tall suddenly appeared out of thin air on the open ground. The puppet seemed to be made of steel, and there were six rings on its arms.

Tianhua Tianshen pointed at the puppet and smiled calmly, "Uncle Master, this is a sixth-level puppet."

All the disciples of the Taoist sect were watching from afar, and were all surprised when they saw the six circles on the arm.

"This guy is indeed a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. He wants to fight this sixth-level puppet right from the start?"

"This is a sixth-level puppet! Grandmaster Qingping is only at the level of Wanxiang Zhenren! Are you going to fight directly against a sixth-level puppet?"

"Yes! When I first became Master's disciple, I could only defeat a fourth-order puppet. He actually dared to compete directly with a sixth-order puppet. How high must this Qing Ping's understanding of the Tao be? No wonder he was accepted as a disciple by the Three Pure Ones. He is truly an unparalleled monster."

"He dared to compete with a sixth-level puppet just after entering the Wandao Palace. How impressive! In the world of my hometown, he is also a rare genius that only appears once in a long time."

All the humans, demons, gods and devils surrounding the gate of Wandao Palace praised him.

The Three Pure Ones had not accepted a disciple for countless years, and now they had finally accepted one, so naturally they were all looking forward to it very much.

……

Within the formation of the competition.

Ji Xiaoshan looked at the meter-tall sixth-order puppet from afar, and something moved in his heart.

Wow!
Two gorgeous wind and thunder swords suddenly appeared in Ji Xiaoshan's hands. He could not use his magical powers to fight this puppet, so he could only rely on his own understanding of the Tao and swordsmanship to deal with it in the purest way. Naturally, he could not use magical powers such as three heads and six arms, and the law of heaven and earth.

"Boy from the Wanxiang Realm, if you want to defeat me, you have to show enough strength." The ten-foot-tall puppet said in a low voice. At the same time, the puppet flipped his hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

"This puppet also uses a sword?" Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, and his body followed in an instant.

Wow~~

In the entire fighting space, a breeze blew out of nowhere, and wherever the breeze blew, it seemed as if invisible blades were moving. Strands of water gathered together and turned into gurgling water, and whirlpools seemed to form between the flowing water.

Flames emerged from the void, burning fiercely, and instantly turned into a raging fire. The air was distorted wherever it went. There seemed to be a trace of soul-disturbing music in the air, and the music seemed to be real, drilling into the core of the puppet's "soul".

"Senior Brother Huang Long said that my reciprocating sword style can barely defeat this puppet... then let's try the quality of this puppet first! The fifth style of Mu Chi sword technique - One Sword to Change the World." Ji Xiaoshan looked at the sixth-level puppet that was influenced by several kinds of Taoist ideas, and a burning desire to fight flashed in his eyes.

Wow!
As his mind moved, the two wind and thunder swords were used to unleash their mighty power. Two green jade unicorns that looked like real living creatures appeared out of thin air, and the incomparably powerful and majestic aura immediately filled the entire formation space.

"Cut!" Boom! Boom!
The ten-foot-tall puppet also swung the long sword in its hand in an instant. For a moment, it seemed as if the earth veins were surging, and the long sword was like a mountain smashing directly at it. With the naked eye, the shadows of the misty mountains appeared, and those shadows of the mountains were stacked layer by layer, revealing an endless sense of heaviness and oppression.

The two jade unicorns suddenly collided with the mountain. Instantly, a huge roar resounded throughout the space. The sound was deafening, and countless heaven and earth energy instantly boiled.

"The sword technique performed by this puppet contains much more profound principles than my Qiankun Sword!" As soon as he came into contact with it, Ji Xiaoshan's expression suddenly changed.

The puppet's sword formed a series of hazy mountain phantoms. The mysterious and invisible Dao was like a continuous mountain range that existed in reality, emitting a majestic and magnificent aura. The two jade unicorns transformed by the sword were instantly defeated and dissipated, and the mountain phantoms also turned into nothingness after the collision, but the sword still slashed over without any reduction.

Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, and in an instant, strands of water appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the sword, as soft as water, and suddenly became extremely flexible.

boom!
The puppet's long sword suddenly smashed into Ji Xiaoshan's two wind and thunder swords. An irresistible force hit him, causing him to retreat several steps.

“Hmm! The sword technique of this puppet that makes light work of heavy things is really mysterious. Fortunately, I have seen the way of my master in Bajing Palace. My vision and my sword technique have become more solid and pure. Otherwise, I would have been knocked away directly by this sword.” Ji Xiaoshan’s face was solemn.

"Boy, your swordsmanship is pretty good, but if that's all you have, you can't beat me. It's better to admit defeat as soon as possible!" The puppet stopped and looked over.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ji Xiaoshan's mind moved, and he immediately swung out the Wind and Thunder Sword in his hand.

"Hmm? Grandmaster Qingping's sword..."

"This sword seems..."

All the gods, demons, humans, and monsters under the Taoist sect were watching. They all blinked at the scene in front of them. They were not surprised that Ji Xiaoshan was directly at a disadvantage. At least he was not defeated directly, which meant that he still had a chance.

But now the sword that was handed out was just an ordinary one.

"It seems that Junior Master's sword is not as good as the sword technique just now? The power of the sword technique just now can at least defeat a rank-5 puppet, but this sword looks ordinary, as if... it is not even as good as a sword casually swung by an ordinary creature..."

"This sword seems a bit ordinary, and it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the sword that contained so much Taoist meaning."

"What do you two know? This sword may seem ordinary, but it is not simple at all."

"Is this the Way of Cause and Effect? ​​This True Man Qing Ping must be at the Wanxiang level! Add to that the sword art and the Way of Heaven and Earth revealed in that sword strike just now... this understanding of the Dao is extremely rare at the Wanxiang level."

"This swordsmanship..."

Wow!
The ordinary sword seemed extremely simple, just like an ordinary creature practicing swordsmanship, stabbing out with a sword in an extremely casual manner. However, its speed was extremely fast, so fast that it seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space.

The sword light cut through the sky, as if time had frozen. With one strike of the sword, only the brilliant purple-green sword remained between heaven and earth.

"Hmm?" Huang Long Tian Shen was stunned. "Junior brother's swordsmanship... seems to be much more powerful than the one he displayed at the Immortal Fate Conference... This swordsmanship is also much purer."

The God Huanglong achieved enlightenment in ancient times and lived for endless years. Naturally, he had an extremely sharp vision. He was the first one to notice Ji Xiaoshan's abnormality at the Immortal Fate Conference.

"If Junior Brother Qingping's swordplay was still very immature before, after becoming Master's disciple... this swordplay has obviously become much more mature."

“Uncle Huanglong, is Junior Uncle going to follow the path of Grandmaster Taiqing’s incarnation and Shangqing’s incarnation?” Tianhua God also gathered beside Huanglong God at this time, and immediately asked curiously, “Junior Uncle’s previous sword and this sword... can be considered two different paths!”

"Who can predict the future?" Huang Long Tian Shen smiled when he heard this. "Which path Junior Brother Qing Ping will take in the future depends on himself!"

……

Within the formation.

laugh!
An extremely brilliant sword light suddenly flashed across the neck of the sixth-level puppet, directly cutting open the outermost layer of the puppet's body.

These puppets are magical weapons, extremely strong and sturdy. Naturally, no one can destroy them easily, so as long as you pierce into the outermost layer of the puppet's body, you will be considered victorious.

The puppet stopped moving. He looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said in a deep voice, "You win!"

Wow!
Tianhua Tianshen came forward and put away the sixth-level puppet with a wave of his sleeve. He looked at Ji Xiaoshan and said with a smile, "Little Master, since you have defeated this sixth-level puppet, you can go to the sixth floor of Wandao Palace and choose any secret technique!"

"No hurry." Ji Xiaoshan hesitated, "Brother Huang Long, I just realized something..."

"You have some understanding?" The Yellow Dragon God was stunned, then smiled and said, "Junior brother, you should go back to your Qingping Fairy Island first. I haven't seen Junior Brother Tianhua for a long time, so I can catch up with him in his Wandao Palace. When you are done with your retreat, you can come to Wandao Palace to find me. I promised to take you to the Good Merit Hall and the Wanbao Palace to get to know them, Junior Brother, you can't let me break my promise!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Huang Long!" Ji Xiaoshan felt warm in his heart and bowed respectfully before turning around and leaving.
