Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Because Li Xiu lacked insight into internal energy cultivation techniques, he used the true scriptures passed down by Hongjun Daoist more to verify and explore the feasibility of creating a new cultivation method.

In contrast, Li Duotian was much more direct. All he wanted to do was to successfully unleash the immense power hidden within him.

So for him, this lecture was a success. He has already successfully broken three of the ten seals, and his power has doubled compared to before.

Moreover, the sealing of this power is not equal; it increases exponentially.

If the next seal is broken, Li Duotian will feel that his power will increase by at least five times compared to now.

Now he is full of confidence again, having put aside Donghuang Taiyi, who once barely managed to fight him to a draw.

Upon seeing that Donghuang Taiyi had also turned to look at them, the two exchanged a knowing smile and, regardless of their location, beckoned to each other.

Chapter 1432 Unleashing a Powerful Move

It means, do you want to fight me here?

Seeing Li Duotian's unusually strong fighting spirit, Li Xiu naturally didn't interrupt him, but gave him a hint, saying, "Go ahead with peace of mind, just don't lose, otherwise I'll be embarrassed along with you."

Li Duotian gave his feedback and said, "Don't worry, with this experience, I will definitely not lose to this guy again."

Li Duotian was full of confidence, and Donghuang Taiyi was not far behind. Although he could not gain a lot of improvement as easily as Li Duotian, he was able to use those fusion energies more skillfully after having new ideas.

Donghuang Taiyi also spoke up, "Let's be more direct and not delay what Hongjun Daoist is about to say."

"Let's unleash our ultimate move and see how much you can improve this time."

Li Duotian nodded in agreement, indicating his strong support for the idea.

The next moment, Li Xiu and Nuwa also dispersed to the sides at the same time, leaving this large space inside the Zixiao Palace to the two main figures.

Master Hongjun never prevents such exchanges that lead to improvement and insights.

On the contrary, he encouraged the two of them to do so, and acted as the referee, saying, "You two can play with confidence; you definitely won't break anything here."

With the landlord's approval, the two of them were even more carefree, and the charm of the power within nature was instantly revealed.

The power of the three seals erupted simultaneously, causing his entire body to swell.

Meanwhile, the familiar black dragon reappeared on Donghuang Taiyi's side, and the energy from the three black holes around it surged towards the black dragon.

If there's any difference compared to last time, this time the black dragon looks more lifelike and more autonomous, as if it can control the energy integrated into its body, allowing it to exert even greater power in every bit.

When Li Xiu saw Li Duotian, whose moves were quite impressive, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seemed that none of the opponents whom Li Duotian took seriously were truly cowards.

Li Xiu was also immersed in the situation, wondering what he could do to successfully deflect the enemy's powerful attack without using the Hongjun Sword.

However, Li Xiu was somewhat stunned when the topic of the Hongjun Sword came up.

After entering the Zixiao Palace, he clearly felt a sense of nostalgia emanating from the Hongjun Sword.

It seems this has been confirmed; the Hongjun Sword originally belonged to the Hongjun Daoist.

Since Li Xiu had already accepted this treasure, there was naturally no reason for him to return it.

However, he still wanted to find an opportunity to discuss with Master Hongjun whether there were any aspects of the Hongjun Sword that he had not yet developed.

Two attacks were detected, and they had actually collided, but it didn't seem to cause much of a stir.

Li Duotian infused the Pangu Axe with all the power of his three layers of seals, plus all the totem patterns engraved on it. The Pangu Axe, carrying immense power, was draped with a giant dragon.

Now it remains to be seen whether the dragon can withstand the powerful attack of Pangu's axe, or whether Pangu's axe will be able to slay the dragon.

The result didn't keep the two of them waiting too long.

In terms of improvement, it seems that Li Duotian's improvement is more obvious.

With the support of numerous powers, the Pangu Axe has been greatly enhanced this time, and its explosive power is simply too strong.

Chapter 1433 Used as a tool

Moreover, Li Xiu even suspected that the Pangu Axe might have gained some enlightenment while listening to Hongjun Daoren's lecture, since it was not surprising that there was a soul inside the Pangu Axe.

Therefore, seeing this discovery that erupted even more violently, Li Xiu was not at all surprised to achieve this victory.

However, Li Duotian's opponent, Donghuang Taiyi, seemed to have foreseen his defeat. Although his newly formed giant dragon could only withstand the Pangu Axe for less than ten seconds before collapsing.

However, Donghuang Taiyi did not see any sign of frustration. On the contrary, seeing that the dragon he had fused with could last for so long, he showed a hint of excitement.

Li Duotian thought to himself, "Have you gone mad from my beating? You're clearly at a disadvantage, so why do you look so happy?"

In this round, Donghuang Taiyi is on the 5th floor, while Li Duotian and Li Xiu are only on the 2nd floor.

Only Hongjun Daoist saw through the trick, and he explained with a smile, "It seems this young friend is quite satisfied with his new move. However, your idea is indeed excellent."

"If it can be further improved, it might become a very powerful trump card for you."

Upon hearing Hongjun Daoist's explanation, he finally realized that this guy was actually using him as a practice subject, and his expression became even uglier.

He thought to himself, "I've given it my all, unleashing my full power in my attacks, and all you've done is use me as a guinea pig."

"What's most infuriating is that the trick you tested actually worked! How am I supposed to save face now?"

Seeing Li Duotian's extremely displeased expression, Hongjun Daoist also offered an explanation, saying, "Young friend, please don't be angry. This move, if truly mastered, is indeed not something that can be easily resisted."

"Although your current power is very strong, you are facing the fusion of ten powers, and it is a deep fusion of completely different energies. Being able to do this is already very strong."

"When this skill was used, I even thought you would lose."

"However, your strength has indeed exceeded my expectations, little one. Your own explosive power, combined with the enhancement from the Pangu Axe, probably exceeds your actual strength by at least [number] times."

"Perhaps if we successfully ambush some experts and they take the hit of your earth-shattering attack, they will be killed too."

After hearing Hongjun Daoist's comments, Li Duotian's expression improved slightly.

Li Xiu was unsure whether to agree with Hongjun Daoist's words. The fusion of ten kinds of energy seemed too exaggerated, but since he hadn't experienced it himself, he couldn't make too many comments.

After all, he still has a lot to learn.

However, Li Xiu was not so afraid of this kind of fusion, because fusion was only the tip of the iceberg in his skill universe.

What's truly powerful is extracting the essence of energy from its source, allowing these essences to merge or repel each other, thus creating an explosion. This kind of power is what truly triggers earthquakes.

Having appeased the two of them, Hongjun Daoist steered the conversation back to his own side, saying, "Since you two are quite satisfied with your new achievements and techniques, why don't you take a look at what others have to say?"

Chapter 1434 What kind of improvement did I get?

Li Duotian naturally obeyed Li Xiu's every word. In any case, his improvement and Li Xiu's improvement were the same. Whoever improved more would gain more insights from the other. So the two of them advanced and retreated together.

As for Donghuang Taiyi, he didn't care about any of that. He had come alone, and since he had already achieved his purpose for coming here, he didn't really care what others were doing.

The "other person" that Hongjun Daoist was referring to was actually Li Xiu. He was more curious about how much improvement Li Xiu would gain from his sharing.

Although Li Xiu knew that I, Hongjun Daoist, was hinting at something to him, he didn't want to use any powerful moves in front of everyone.

What he's more curious about now is whether he can discuss the Hongjun Sword with Hongjun Daoist alone.

So he decided to deal with it for now, and patted Nuwa next to him, saying, "You're the only girl here, so Hongjun Daoist must be talking about you."

"This old guy is obviously a disrespectful elder."

When Hongjun Daoist heard Li Xiu say that, he almost vomited. When did he, a representative of the righteous sects, get labeled with such a big accusation, especially such a lecherous old man? This was something that Hongjun Daoist could not accept no matter what.

However, he couldn't show his anger in front of others.

"It's okay, little one."

He also said, "You two come one at a time. Now that you've come to Zixiao Palace, I will absolutely not let you have the slightest dissatisfaction. I will continue to guide you based on your experiences."

Li Xiu knew he couldn't avoid showing off his skills, but he still decided to be the grand finale. He pushed Nuwa forward, saying, "Don't panic. I'm afraid you won't have the courage to show off your limited knowledge after I've shown off. Let you go first."

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Li Xiu, but still obediently stepped forward.

Although he was somewhat confused, he sensed a creative power within himself, which might lead to further improvement.

Therefore, he also planned to demonstrate his abilities in front of Hongjun Daoist to see if he could gain any inspiration.

When he saw the little girl come out, Hongjun Daoist smiled slightly, but he didn't dare to smile too obviously.

After all, Li Xiu had just put such a big accusation on him, and if he smiled too lewdly, he might really scare people away.

Nuwa returned Hongjun Daoist's smile with a smile in return. She was very grateful to this selfless master, who had also brought her help. Unlike Li Xiu, she was not heartless.

He walked to the center of Zixiao Palace and said to Hongjun Daoist, "My abilities are actually quite ordinary, but I seem to have gained some insights into creating things."

"Why don't you, Master Hongjun, help me see if there are any deviations in my thoughts and ideas?"

The path one takes is one's own choice, so Nuwa knew that even if Hongjun Daoist wanted to help her, he couldn't choose the most suitable path for her.

All she could do was keep exploring and using Hongjun Daoren's experience to analyze whether the path she had chosen was too difficult.

Chapter 1435 Showing Insights

In fact, all paths lead to the same goal. As long as there are no major problems with the direction, then your choice will be correct and the most suitable for you.

Hongjun Daoist was also watching the little girl in front of him very intently, using the energy he had created.

This was also very novel to him. He had never seen a similar way of wielding energy anywhere else or on anyone else. So this was a learning opportunity for Hongjun Daoren.

After she began creating, Nuwa's expression became unusually focused. It seems that although she usually appears to be a mischievous little girl, her seriousness when doing something she likes is quite captivating.

Not only Hongjun Daoist, but also others in Zixiao Palace developed a strong interest in this novel and unfamiliar energy as Nuwa's creation process progressed.

Within Nuwa's hands, a butterfly seemed to flit about, and this butterfly was formed from the energy of her creation.

This energy gradually formed something resembling a real butterfly in his hands. It was unclear whether the energy would form whatever he wanted to create, or if there was another reason.

In short, an energetic butterfly thread flew out and formed the shape of a real butterfly.
