“White tiger slaying the world, Senior Xuanfeng, the might of your white tiger is not as powerful as Zhenshanjun’s mountain-defining tiger.” Faced with gathering up the white tiger’s spirit form, Xuan Guang said lightly.
“The white tiger is only a manifestation of the four elephants, why does it need the majesty of a mortal.” Faced with Xuan Guang’s offensive words, Xuan Feng did not take the bait.
The True Martial Daoist School belonged to the Daoist school, and the Daoist school was taught by Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth, why did they need the majestic rituals to decorate themselves. The White Tiger is one of the four elephants, and the four elephants are also part of the nature of heaven and earth.
“Cut the crap, Xuan Guang, suffer death!”
Xuan Feng could not suppress the anger in his heart, and the white tiger roared to the sky, but without a sound, it spat out countless wind blades with geng gold qi, sweeping towards Xuan Guang who was high up on the first floor.
The Geng Jin blades cut through the air, creating an ear-splitting wind noise. Countless Geng Jin blades, even the wind was churned by them.
“Well said, why do the four elephants need to be majestic,” Xuan Guang said slowly and unhurriedly in the face of Xuan Feng’s hate-laden strike, “If that is the case, why do the four elephants need to manifest the White Tiger.”
The words were not hurried, but they reached Xuan Feng’s ears in the instant when the Geng Jin blade struck.
Xuan Guang raised his palm, and a huge cyan phantom appeared behind him, and then a blur, turning into a white beast, which again rotated, turning into crimson, black, and the four-coloured phantom rings flashed, and the four colours on his palm also changed, eventually faintly transforming into black and white.
Out comes the palm.
The giant palm of black and white appears and launches itself out, gently absorbing the sweeping Geng Jin blades, circulating them and turning them into part of the true qi in the palm. The huge palm of true qi continued to slowly push towards Xuan Feng, slowly but with an invisible pressure that suppressed Xuan Feng, so that he could only take this palm that seemed to freeze the entire space.
“Tian Yan Si Xiang Palm, how is this possible!”
Xuan Feng roared out in anger as his white tiger spirit phase truly manifested itself, his body merging with the spirit phase, a living white tiger, running towards this inescapable palm.
“Boom!”
The two forces collided, and the wave of Qi that erupted cracked the wind-blown, hard mountain wall at the edge of the cliff into countless deep and shallow cracks.
Xuan Feng was hit by the impact and crashed into the mountain wall, creating a large human-sized crater and cracking the gap in the mountain wall into a hideous wound. On the other side of the force, Xuan Guang’s building seemed to have an invisible shield, like a stubborn reef in the sea, standing still under the waves of air.
With a “collapse and pull”, a block of rock above the mountain wall was cracked and collapsed by the impact.
“Heh.” Xuan Guang laughed lightly and raised his right palm, “Tian Yan Four Elephant Palm” again.
The block of rock was shattered to pieces.
With a wave of his sleeve, Xuan Guang’s true qi swept the wind and swept away the dust from the shattered rocks, drifting towards Yang Cheng not far away with the mountain wind.
“How — is it possible ——- Tian Yan Four Elephant Palm ——,” said Xuan Feng, embedded in the mountain wall with blood bubbling from the corner of his mouth, reluctantly.
“How is that impossible.” Xuan Guang stepped into the air and hovered in front of Xuan Feng.
“This ——,” Xuan Feng was even more shocked and unexplained, “Feng Xu Yu Feng, Tong Shen ——”
Xuan Guang shook his head and laughed: “Tong Shen realm, still a little short, just a little short.”
Flexing his fingers in front of Xuan Feng compared to a small slit, then grabbed Xuan Feng’s collar and slowly dropped it.
This little bit is the difference between heaven and earth. If one were at the Tong Shen realm, one could completely grab Xuan Feng and then fly back to the small building on the wind, instead of being unsustainable like this now.
“This is never —— possible,” Xuanfeng still muttered these words.
“By common sense, it is impossible.” Xuan Guang knew what he meant.
“The Green Dragon coils the stars, the Vermilion Bird burns the sky, the White Tiger slays the world, and the Xuan Wu subdues the sea. Of all the Four Elephants, you and I are the only ones who specialise in one discipline among the brothers and teachers. You are concentrating on one discipline. I, on the other hand, am limited by my enlightenment and can only practice one discipline.
Among the brothers, only Brother Xuanfa is so gifted that he has mastered all four elephants and has integrated them into the Four Elephant Palm. It was only under Brother Xuanfa’s guidance that I also practiced Xuanwu Zhenhai.”
“Why? Senior Brother Xuanfa took such good care of you, why did you betray him?” At the end of the sentence, Xuan Feng hissed.
“Why betray? Ha, Senior Xuanfa has taken care of you no less than me, so why would you betray him. If it wasn’t for the few of you who contributed to the work when it mattered, Xuan Fa wouldn’t have died just like that, and it wouldn’t necessarily be who is now sitting on the throne of the True Martial Dao Sect.” Xuan Guang sneered disdainfully.
“For the sake of ——” XuanFa did not go on, for the sake of the True Martial Sect, that was what he wanted to say.
But in the end, it turned out that Xuan Fa had not betrayed the True Martial Sect, and they had mistakenly trusted others to push for Xuan Fa’s death.
“To put it bluntly, although Xuan Fa’s kindness was heavy, there was something more important than that,” Xuan Guang ignored Xuan Feng’s speechlessness and continued, “You thought the True Martial Daoist Sect was more important, so you went out of your way to betray Xuan Fa even if you only suspected. I also have something more important. Of the master brothers, I have the least enlightenment.
Growing up, the kung fu that took you all one day to practise took me three, or even four, days. You only practised for three hours a day; it was not uncommon for me to practise for five hours, sometimes six or seven.
Despite this, your progress was far superior to mine. When the peaks were a*signed to the masters, apart from a few younger students, I was the only one of my age who was not chosen and had to follow Xuanfa and work as an errand boy.
Xuanfa helped me a lot, and he was the closest to me, because I had nowhere else to go. At that time, looking at others in all their glory, I understood a truth.”
Xuan Guang’s eyes widened as he stared at this Xuan Feng: “Power, in this world, the only way to be valued and respected is to have enough power. And only power that will not betray you.”
“We, never disregarded you. We grew up together as children.” Xuanfeng said in an astringent voice.
“So what if we grew up together, Xuanfa and Xuanchen still fought to the death. So did we, but we all betrayed Xuan Fa.” Xuan Guang laughed disdainfully.
“You say, when following Xuan Fa and continuing to be a nameless boy, or betraying Xuan Fa and advancing to the Tong Shen realm and being admired by millions, what would you choose when these two choices are placed in front of you.”
Without a doubt, Xuan Guang chose the latter, betraying Xuan Fa, in order to advance to the Tong Shen realm.
“That’s impossible, you had just advanced to the True Dan realm at that time, even if you were at the peak of the True Dan realm and wanted to advance to the Tong Shen realm, it wasn’t that easy.” Xuan Feng retorted.
The Tong Shen realm, where the martial dao was through the gods, once you advanced, you were no longer an ordinary person. Even if one were at the peak of the True Dan realm, it would be a thousand times harder to advance to the Tong Shen realm, let alone Xuan Guang who had just advanced to the True Dan realm at that time.
“Impossible? Haha ——” Xuan Guang laughed wildly from the sky, “How is it impossible, where is it impossible? You see, in just five years, I have gone from just advancing to True Dan to now being just a hair’s breadth away from being a Tong Shen. You, on the other hand, are what you were five years ago and what you are five years later, without an inch of progress.”
Yes, where would be the impossibility. The facts were already in front of him, Xuan Guang was only a line away from being a Tong Shen. As for himself, he was ashamed of his senior Xuan Fa and had a knot in his heart, and it was already good enough to not keep from backing up in the past five years. Likewise, there are several other senior brothers, all of whom doubted Xuan Fa in the first place and contributed to the work but not the effort.
In Taoist martial arts, the most important thing is the state of mind. If Xuan Feng were like Xuan Guang, a heartless and heartless person, the matter of Xuan Fa would have no effect on him. Unfortunately, they were not. They abandoned the beneficent Xuan Fa for the more important True Martial Daoist Sect, only to learn afterwards that Xuan Fa had not betrayed the interests of the sect, but rather that their betrayal had made them the diggers of Xuan Fa’s grave.
However, even if it were Xuan Fa instead and the person under suspicion was himself, Xuan Feng believed that Xuan Fa would have made the same choice because the True Martial Daoist Sect was their home and its importance trumped everything else.
“We are not heartless and heartless people like you Xuan Guang, the chance to advance to the Tong Shen, even if there is one, is difficult to verify, this choice, no matter what, we will choose the former.”
“Is there really none? What can be verified, the chance of advancing to the Tong Shen, doesn’t our True Martial Daoist Sect have it.” Xuan Guang bantered.
“True Martial Jade Bi?!”
The True Martial Jade Bi, a psionic object that contained the lifelong martial insights of the True Martial Daoist Sect’s founding ancestor. Every hundred years, the jade jade can recreate the ancestral master’s martial arts perceptions once after it has been energised by a formation, and the participant can use it to advance to the level of a Tong Shen.
In order to ensure that each True Martial Master can be strong enough to lead the True Martial Daoist Sect, it is stipulated that only the Master, can enlighten the True Martial Jade Bi.
“Why do you think it took Xuan Chen almost two years to advance to the level of a Tong Shen, but it wasn’t because two people were enlightened, shortening the time it took to enlighten the jade jade.”
According to the records of successive generations of True Martial Sects, after enlightening the True Martial Jade Biscuit, in as little as a few months or as much as a year, the enlightened person would be able to successfully advance to the level of a Tong Shen.
Xuan Chen, on the other hand, had taken nearly two years to successfully advance. Of course, the external story was that Xuan Chen felt slowed down by the fact that he was in the same room. It was also then that Xuan Chen, who felt he had secured his position as Sect Leader, relaxed his tongue and sent Qing Yu to Qingzhou, no longer under house arrest at the True Martial Daoist Sect.
“This ——” Xuanfeng was already too shocked to speak.
“Well, senior brother Xuanfeng, what you should know, you know it all. Don’t worry, senior brother won’t hurt you all, I will provide for you well so that you can go back and help me spread the word about what Xuan Chen has done.”
After saying that, Xuan Guang lifted Xuan Feng and leapt into the open portal on the first floor of the small building.
The small door on the second floor closed automatically.
The mountain breeze was so strong that it was as if nothing had ever happened, except for the hideously cracked mountain wall, which told of the brief, yet intense battle.
