Chapter 6 The Three Great Dao Qi, the Lock of Dao Qi

Long Qiao looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword, which easily extinguished the five-colored smoke and clouds with its crisscrossing movements, and let out a light laugh. He had already understood Taiwei's intentions. Without moving his own vast magical power, Long Qiao flicked his finger, and three extremely mysterious immortal lights and Dao Qi appeared on the Five Smoke Bronze Furnace.

A beam of celestial light transforms into layers of rainbows, hanging a seven-colored rainbow bridge; this is the celestial radiance of the Dao. A beam of celestial light moves vast water vapor, rising into misty fog; this is the cloud and water Dao. A beam of radiance reveals the brilliance of countless desires, depicting the myriad forms of life; this is the Hundred Desires Dao.

These three Dao Qi are the foundation of Long Qiao himself. The Dao Qi of the three major Xuanmen are intertwined. Although the true power of the Dao Qi itself has not been unleashed, just a wisp of the power that has been released has already resisted the Longyuan Sword that is slashing down with brilliant light.

However, as Taiwei looked at the radiant Five Smoke Bronze Furnace, his aura not only did not weaken in the slightest, but became even more vigorous. A resounding sword cry suddenly rang out, and the sword's sound, which could pierce through gold and split rocks, caused the three Dao Qi to tremble slightly.

Yin and Yang energies swirled on the dark blade. The translucent, thin blade rotated, and the Yin and Yang energies were enveloped and contained by the blade of the Dragon Abyss Sword. The blade then pierced into the three great Dao energies that rose up like blooming lotus flowers.

Black and white rotate, life and death are annihilated, and the two energies of yin and yang clash with each other. To Long Qiao's astonishment, this sword actually tore open the five-colored mist outside the three great energies.

Even the essence of the three Great Dao Qi was pierced by the Dragon Abyss Sword at this moment. If Taiwei had not restrained the power of the Dragon Abyss Sword, the foundation of Long Qiao's Great Dao would have been severely damaged by this one sword.

"Fellow Daoist, you'd better be careful. Although my cultivation level is low, if we don't clash in terms of magical power and are just comparing our own cultivation level, I still have a 50-60% chance of winning."

Taiwei moved his fingers and spoke words that made Long Qiao's expression change slightly. Under Taiwei's control, the Dragon Abyss Sword traced strange and inexplicable trajectories, dodging all the five-colored smoke clouds that Long Qiao was riding.

Seeing the Dragon Abyss Sword continuously slashing down on him, Long Qiao's expression turned serious. Only now did he consider Taiwei to be an existence of the same level, and he no longer dared to be careless in the slightest.

Long Qiao swept his five fingers across his body, and the five-colored smoke and mist slowly dissipated. The three great Dao Qi each shone brightly, meeting the Longyuan Sword. The Heavenly Cloud Dao Qi evolved into a sky full of rosy light, and as the rays of light burst forth, thousands of beams of light blasted the Longyuan Sword away.

The Dao Qi of Yunshui transformed into a white-maned dragon with its five toes clenched together, tightly binding the Longyuan Sword. Finally, the bright red desires within the Dao Qi of Baiyu surged like a tide, and the brilliant sword light of the Longyuan Sword itself gradually became turbid and dim under the erosion of human desires.

The three Great Dao Qi—Tianxia, ​​Yunshui, and Baiyu—truly lived up to their reputation as the foundation of Longqiao's own Great Dao. Although their true power had not yet been unleashed, the various Great Dao truths evolved from the three Great Dao Qi themselves had already suppressed the Longyuan Sword controlled by Taiwei.

"Fellow Daoist Long Qiao's three Dao Qi foundations are extraordinary. I imagine that your future achievement of the Taiyi realm will depend on these three Dao Qi. However, the wonder of Dao Qi lies in enlightenment and cultivation, not in fighting and killing. In this respect, your three Dao Qi are sometimes inferior to the bronze furnace in your hand."

Taiwei looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword, its spiritual light dimmed and suppressed by the three Great Dao Qi, without any change in expression. Black and white colors appeared in his one purple and one gold eyes, and the Yin and Yang energies transformed into a Taiji Dao diagram that unfolded on the surging three Great Dao Qi.

Black and white flowed, the two fish floated, and the true meaning of the Yin-Yang Dao continued to surge and evolve. Taiwei smiled, his own divine sense merged with the two carp, one black and one white, and he controlled the Yin and Yang energies in the void.

The black-patterned Xuanli carp exuded an extremely cold aura, solidifying the three Dao Qi, while the plain-patterned white carp was surrounded by layers of white-gold crown flames like a sun crown, dissolving all the true meaning of the three Dao Qi that trapped the Longyuan Sword.

Black and white fish circled around the Dragon Abyss Sword, transforming into a black and white spiral pattern on the sword. The divine sword struck down again, and Long Qiao took a deep breath, causing all three Dao Qi to fall into the Five Smoke Bronze Furnace.

A brilliant brass light shone forth, a dazzling and colorful radiance rising up as the Dragon Abyss Sword, wielding the power of Yin and Yang, tore through the surging, colorful mist and vapor, causing desires to explode all at once.

The Five-Smoke Bronze Furnace trembled slightly, its ancient body dropping three inches. At the same time, Taiwei's Dragon Abyss Sword dimmed, and a pure celestial light and an ever-changing aura of desire intertwined on its dark, semi-transparent blade, locking away most of the Dragon Abyss Sword's power like a lock.

Taiwei and Longqiao trembled slightly. Taiwei silently sheathed the Longyuan Sword, while Longqiao looked at Taiwei, sighed, and a burning look appeared on his face.

If his initial attitude towards Taiwei joining the Xuanmen Immortal Path was indifferent, then after witnessing Taiwei's extraordinary cultivation, Long Qiao has decided to completely bring Taiwei into the Xuanmen Immortal Path.

With such a person of immense potential joining the Xuanmen Immortal Path, it will undoubtedly be of great help to the Xuanmen Immortal Path's future expansion in the Western Regions.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation is truly astonishing. It seems I underestimated you before." Long Qiao's body radiated immortal light, and the Five Smoke Bronze Furnace and the Three Great Dao Qi were absorbed into his body, which can be regarded as admitting defeat.

"Fellow Daoist Taiwei's cultivation is profound, far surpassing mine. However, your divine sword is sealed by my Heavenly Cloud Dao Qi and Hundred Desires Dao Qi. These two Dao Qi represent a part of my own Dao foundation and are Golden Immortal-level divine abilities."

"Fellow Daoist, you might as well take out your divine sword so that I can erase those two strands of Dao Qi power. Otherwise, I'm afraid the power of your divine sword will be greatly reduced."

Upon hearing this, Taiwei looked at the Longyuan Sword hanging at his waist and happened to see the five-colored patterns spreading on the hilt of the Longyuan Sword.

Looking at Long Qiao's sincere expression, Taiwei shook his head: "Fellow Daoist's two Dao Qi powers may be a calamity for my Longyuan Sword, but fortune and misfortune are intertwined. This calamity may also be an opportunity for the Longyuan Sword to transform."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Upon hearing Taiwei's words, Long Qiao's expression shifted slightly. It seemed that Taiwei meant he had a way to release the Tianxia Dao Qi and Yunshui Dao Qi that were binding the Longyuan Sword.

Although Taiwei did defeat him by defeating the stronger opponent in the previous debate, Long Qiao did not believe that Taiwei, with his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, could break through his Golden Immortal-level divine power. This was a difference between major realms, and Taiwei, with his Heavenly Immortal cultivation, should not be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Golden Immortal realm.
