C763 Knock Down
In the end, Daofather Ziyuan was still a master of divine abilities at the Dao Realm. Even though she was excited about accomplishing his goal, it still wasn't enough to cause him to lose her most basic rationality.
In fact, at the intersection of the fifth path, the Priestess of Zi Yuan and Yang Junshan finally encountered the most severe test after entering the ancient secret passageway.
It wasn't that Yang Junshan hadn't seen the fight between the Purple Clouds Sect's Daofather and the other Daoists' Patriarchs before, but that kind of fight was mostly to test each other and stop after tasting it. Only the plump faced man from the Purple Wind Sect didn't cause too much trouble for the two of them due to the great difference in strength between him and Daofather Purple Garden.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Zi Yuan, you're here!"
The Daoist man who had arrived at the intersection a step earlier had a medium stature and an ordinary appearance. His hair was tied up with a hairpin, making him look somewhat strange.
He said in a low voice, "I've heard that you've already mastered the Spirit Apostle Sect's inherited Daoist Art, the 'Withering Bloom Life and Death Formula'. Do you not have the confidence to walk through the thunder tribulation?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Luo Jin laughed, "Fellow Daoist, you must be joking. In this cultivation world, even if there are thirty-six supreme Immortals in this Immortal Palace, they would only be trembling in fear when they overcame the thunder tribulation. I was merely lucky enough to practice one sacred art after another; how could I not be afraid of the thunder tribulation?"
"So you're also here for the Soul Division's gourd?"
"But if there's a chance, who wouldn't want their chances of success to be even greater? However, I am not as anxious as you, my friend. Even if I do not obtain the Soul Gourd, it is still good to have another one. "
Daofather Ziyuan said coldly, "Aren't you afraid of leaving empty-handed?"
The Luo Hairpin stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please enlighten me, fellow daoist!"
Taoist Zi Yuan did not hesitate to grab the Purple Cloud Banner and said coldly to Yang Junshan, "You should back off as far as you can. If this Daofather is defeated, you should run for your life!"
Yang Junshan was horrified. He knew that even the Purple Garden's Daofather did not have the confidence to win this battle, so upon hearing this, he hurriedly retreated backwards.
At this moment, the Daoist man with a hairpin turned her head and swept her eyes over Yang Junshan. Yang Junshan felt a cold sensation seeping into his internal organs and was astonished. His retreating steps became faster.
At this moment, the Purple Cloud Flag in his hand was waved. Five purple clouds formed into tentacles and reached towards the Daoist man with the purple cloud.
Just as the five Purple Cloud tentacles were about to wrap around the Daoist man, the Daoist man's expression darkened. He let out a loud snort, and the five tentacles that were approaching him instantly exploded into nothingness.
However, the purple mist that had exploded started to converge and once again condensed into five purple fog tentacles. These tentacles then continued to wrap around Luo Xian.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Luo Jin raised his eyebrows and pointed his finger forward. Suddenly, a gray stream of air flowed out from his fingertip and also turned into five gray smoke pillars, coiling around Daoist Zi Yuan's five purple fog tentacles.
A hissing sound was suddenly heard as the two pillars clashed. The gray airflow created by the finger of Daoist Luo Xian was extremely tough, even though it was thin. It was actually on par with the five Purple Cloud tentacles of Daofather Ziyuan.
"Finger of Destruction!"
From the looks of it, Daofather Violetflower was extremely wary of this precious technique.
The finger of death was ranked forty-seventh on the list of precious techniques on the Divine Abilities Ranking. It was one of the two sacred arts that made up the 24th place cultivation technique, the Ku Rong Life Tactic, while the other was the 158th, Gan Lin Mystic Light.
Yang Junshan had once seen the power of a Daoist technique when it was used, but this was the first time seeing a treasured technique that was ranked higher than the Sky-shattering Seal. Yang Junshan had once heard that when a precious technique was ranked in the top 50, it was rarely used as an extension of a Daoist technique.
The fact that the Lone Death Finger, an extension of the Daoist technique, the Withering Bloom Life and Death Spell, could actually rank in the top 50 of the list meant that the divine ability was extraordinary.
When a cultivator advanced into the Heavenly Dipper Realm, their spiritual consciousness would start to soul transform, becoming a complete soul transformation in the Heavenly Dipper Realm, and then to the Taoist Realm, the only thing that could threaten the cultivators on the list would be the top 100 divine abilities. This was the reason why the top 100 divine abilities on the list were so difficult to learn and were extremely valuable.
The Daoist priest also praised, "The Purple Cloud Banner of the Violet Palace's Dao Ancestor is also extraordinary. This precious technique, Purple Clouds, is ranked after the top 200. With the support of the Purple Cloud Banner, it is actually able to compete with my Finger of Destruction!"
"Enough of our rubbish. You and I should bring out some of our true abilities, so as to save time here!"
This time, the one roaring out was not Wuluo Yan, but countless invisible wind blades. The instant they flew out from the banner, they cleaved through space and arrived in front of Daoist Luoshen.
The Daoist man laughed and said: "I also have the same intention!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out the long and thin wooden hairpin from the top of his head and gently drew a line in front of him.
A barrier made of Forest Boa wood appeared in front of him. The formless wind blades landed on the barrier, but they did not harm him at all.
The Purple Garden's Daofather exclaimed, "A low-rank Dao item like this, Dugu Chenglin! Who would have thought that the Spirit Apostle Sect would actually be able to cultivate this Dao item!"
Daoist Luo Jin laughed, "That's right, I came to the Ancient Secret Forest this time and have specially brought this item from the sect. Now that I have a Dao item in my hand and a Dao art and sacred art with me, my cultivation is only one level lower than Fellow Zi Yuan's, but I am already in an invincible position.
Daofather Ziyuan gave a cold snort and said, "Let's talk after we fight!"
"Alright, then let's not bother with formalities. Fellow Daoist Zi Yuan, please receive this blow. The four seasons are flourishing, and life and death are reborn. Go!"
Yang Junshan had already tried his best to stay away from the duels of the two Dao Patriarchs. However, the moment Daoist Luo Jian used his Dao arts, Yang Junshan felt that the temperature, heat, cold and cold had changed. At the same time, he felt that his spirit was greatly weakened.
Yang Junshan was shocked. He knew that he had used his hand to defeat the power of the man with the hairpin, so he quickly operated the Nine Flying Dans to expel the external force that had invaded his body. Even so, Yang Junshan still retreated several hundred feet back.
At this moment, a purple canopy shot up into the sky. Yang Junshan, who had been affected by the battle, suddenly realized that the aftermath of the fight had vanished without a trace.
Daofather Violetflower's cold voice rang out, "Velvet hairpin, I admit that you are very powerful, but so what? After all, my power is above yours, and once Hua Ji appears, I will have no fear in my life. By relying on the Violet Cloud Flag, even if you want to defeat me, you can dream of it."
Then, the sound of Daoist Luo Jin's laughter could be heard, "You and I are of equal strength, and since we can't do anything to each other, then let's be in a stalemate. Although I am coveting the Seven Treasures Gourd, I have yet to reach the necessary stage.
A cold snort came from the Violet Palace's Daofather. However, he did not say anything. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage when it came to this aspect.
"Moreover, Fellow Daoist Zi Yuan also brought a junior here. According to what I know, Fellow Zi Yuan is not proficient in the Dao of array formations, so you can imagine how useful that little friend will be to you. I wonder if the Purple Garden Martial Ancestor can protect this junior now that I have made a move against him?"
Yang Junshan suddenly felt that a disaster was coming his way. He didn't even think before continuing to flee.
However, how could the Taoist grandmaster dodge like this? The space above Yang Junshan's head suddenly split open, and a big hand reached out towards Yang Junshan.
"How dare you!"
A purple cloud suddenly covered the sky, extinguishing more than half of the enormous hand in one fell swoop. However, even when Luo Xian had taken the initiative to attack, a finger still pressed down on Yang Junshan.
"You really want to crush me to death with one finger?"
Yang Junshan was furious, yet he shouted loudly. He gathered his zhen yuan and threw a punch towards the finger above his head.
In his rage, Yang Junshan pushed the power of Shi Jingtian's fist to its limits. Suddenly, a half foot long hole was opened in his chest, and a large area of blood was soaked there.
With a loud bang, Yang Junshan's sacred art was penetrated by that finger of Yuan Qi, and then the half-dimmed Yuan Qi finger pierced through the air, Yang Junshan was unable to evade it, all the defensive Qi around his body was penetrated, and finally it landed on his chest. Yang Junshan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell down.
"Luo Feng, you're courting death!"
From far away, Daofather Ziyuan's exasperated roar could be heard. The violent spatial turbulence seemed to want to flip everything around the secret passageway upside down.
"Haha, Fellow Zi Yuan, why must you risk your life to fight me? Don't tell me that brat is your new lover?" However, it is useless for you to pester me like this. Our strengths are similar, and in this battle, we can only take advantage of the others. Sigh, are you serious?
Unexpectedly, Daofather Ziyuan seemed to be truly angered. She went all out with the intention of fighting with her life on the line, forcing him to panic and have no choice but to defend herself with all her might. She no longer had the time to provoke him with her words.
Unexpectedly, while the two of them were fighting evenly, a purple gold seal suddenly flew over from the sky. Yang Junshan's angry voice came from dozens of feet away, "You actually want to kill me!"
"Heaven Shattering Earth Seal, descend for me!" "Heaven Shattering Earth Seal …." "BOO!!!!!"
A ferocious tiger Dharma Idol appeared on top of the huge seal. It roared at the Daoist and pounced down on him. Soon after, the Mountain Lord's Seal came crashing down with all its might.
"This is impossible!"
The little cultivator's heart had long been shattered with a single finger strike, and his life force had been annihilated. How could this person be able to walk back to him alive?!
However, Yang Junshan had indeed appeared in front of him alive and well. Not only did he not lose all his vitality, he did not even seem to have damaged his vitality.
A Mountain Lord's Seal, a treasure ranked in the middle, a divine ability ranked 65th on the ranking list, was used by a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator. If it was any ordinary cultivator, they would be able to easily dispel it.2
However, Daoist Luo was too busy to care about anything else since the appearance of Yang Junshan and his actions were out of his expectations.
Thus, amidst the loud laughter of the Violet Garden's Daofather, the grand Spirit Apostle, the Daofather of the Pure Cloud Realm, was actually knocked over by a Heavenly Dipper Realm cultivator with a treasure of the middle rank. Accompanied by a cracking sound as his shoulder blade broke, he actually accidentally flipped out of the space of the secret path and completely lost the right to obtain the Seven Treasures Gourd.
Daofather Ziyuan was laughing so hard that she was about to cry!
