Chapter 56: Three Flowers at the Summit

"Sect of Enlightenment Taiyi, versus Sect of the Cut Lü Yue, the Dao discussion begins!"

"Grand Master of Xuandu opened his mouth and said."

"Hearing this, True Person Taiyi's face changed."

"Although he usually was a bit unconventional, he also knew that the debate of the Three Teachings was no child's play."

"Now, the Grand Master of Xuandu himself spoke up, indicating that this Dao discussion had already begun."

"Now, if True Person Taiyi dares to run, what would be lost is the face of the entire Sect of Enlightenment."

"Pangzi, come, let me see your abilities!"

"Lü Yue's Plague Umbrella spun around him, his two Plague Finger Swords atop his head emitting terrifying might, his immortal aura surging; seeing this, he was far more serious than when dealing with Shen Gongbao."

"Hearing this, True Person Taiyi's face slightly changed, yet he still performed a Daoist salute to Lü Yue: 'Sect of Enlightenment second-generation disciple, Taiyi, please advise!'"

"But as soon as True Person Taiyi finished speaking, Lü Yue's Plague Finger Sword had already slashed over."

"Lai ke bao, no martial virtue!"

"After cursing, one saw True Person Taiyi instantly produce the Dust Whisk from his waist."

"In the next moment, on the Dust Whisk, three thousand silver threads flew, instantly forming a huge barrier that blocked Lü Yue's Plague Finger Sword."

"Not bad!"

"Immortal Elder Wuliang lightly stroked his beard, a smile appearing on his face."

"'What do you all, junior martial brothers and sisters, think of Junior Martial Brother Taiyi?'"

"'Although Taiyi's temperament is a bit mischievous, his talent is extraordinary; he could join our ranks!'"

"Daoist Cihang said."

"'Quite good, Taiyi's cultivation is not weak, moreover he is favored by his master; his strength is extraordinary, and given time, he will surely be listed among the Twelve Golden Immortals!'"

"Grand Master of Lingbao also praised."

"As for Huanglong True Person on the side, he merely remained silent."

"'Fortunately I didn't act rashly just now; Lü Yue's treasure, when used against Shen Gongbao outside, actually didn't unleash its full power; if I were to act, I might still not be his match, and then I'd lose face big time!'"

"The words of the Twelve Golden Immortals were not transmitted secretly, so many people present also heard them clearly."

"Shen Gongbao covered his chest, a look of unwillingness in his eyes, his fingers clenched making a 'gezhi' sound, and a trickle of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth."

"'Junior martial brother, are you alright?'"

"At this moment, a middle-aged man came to Shen Gongbao's side, concerned: 'I still have the elixir bestowed by our master here; take it quickly to prevent the condition from worsening.'"

"'Get away, I'm not, I'm not hurt!'"

"Shen Gongbao pushed away the middle-aged man's hand, his attitude extremely cold."

"Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh."

"Meanwhile, not far away, Ao Yifan laughed and shook his head, but also did not go forward to speak, after all, it was not yet the time to contact Shen Gongbao."

"There's no way; the great mountain in Shen Gongbao's heart has not yet completely crushed him, so how could he utterly submit to me, this mountain-mover?"

"At the same time, the battle within the Jade Void Daoist Arena had already entered a white-hot state."

"Lü Yue was shocked to discover that this unremarkable fatty was unexpectedly tenacious."

"The opponent's cultivation was not ordinary, faintly even above his; more importantly, that fatty's entire array of treasures was truly formidable!"

"Boom—"

"A flame surged forth, and Lü Yue hurriedly dodged."

"The one attacking him was precisely a terrifying fire-tip spear, clearly a mighty offensive treasure."

"What left Lü Yue speechless was that the one controlling the fire-tip spear was not True Person Taiyi himself, but his highly spirited Heaven-Entwining Silk!"

"A treasure controlling another treasure to attack the opponent on its own—such an opponent was something Lü Yue had never encountered before."

"Hahaha……"

"Seeing Lü Yue's red hair scorched black by the flames, True Person Taiyi did not rush to take advantage of his illness to kill him, but instead burst into loud laughter."

"Pangzi, look at the treasure!"

"Gritting his teeth, Lü Yue once again produced his third treasure, the Plague Bell!"

"Hum——"

"Accompanied by the Plague Bell's gentle sway, an invisible plague spread outward with the bell's sound."

"Seeing this, the Sect of Enlightenment's Immortal Elder Wuliang and the Sect of the Cut's Zhao Gongming simultaneously employed measures, isolating the plague of the Plague Bell."

"Ah ya ya, my head hurts!"

"Outside the Jade Void Daoist Arena, True Person Taiyi patted his own head, a look of pain appearing on his face."

"Meanwhile, the Flying Pig, unable to bear it any longer, flapped its large, fan-like ears heavily against True Person Taiyi's head."

"What are you doing?"

"His head ached, but the next moment True Person Taiyi realized that his earlier headache had completely vanished."

"Three Flowers at the Summit!"

"All around, the spectators couldn't help but tremble slightly."

"Three Flowers Gather at the Top, Five Qi Toward Origin—these are the marks of a Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Now, True Person Taiyi's summit three flowers condensed, blocking Lü Yue's Plague Bell, which means that this seemingly unconventional True Person Taiyi has actually half-stepped into the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal!"

"He, actually……"

"At this moment, the one most shocked was Shen Gongbao."

"This is the same Taiyi who has always been bullied by him; when did his cultivation reach such a level?"

"'Summit three flowers, this fatty, is he really that formidable?'"

"At the same time, Lü Yue was also greatly startled; frankly, after fighting this long, he truly hadn't expected that his opponent would be a formidable figure who had condensed the summit three flowers."

I, Lü Yue, truly am not unworthy of being the future number one of the Severed Teaching; with the strength of a mid-stage Great One Golden Immortal, I can fight to a draw with a Great Immortal of half-step Great Luo!

Lü Yue secretly thought.

Immediately, a surge of heroic spirit rushed straight to Lü Yue's head.

Kill!

After a fierce shout, Lü Yue instantly sacrificed all his treasures, forming a massive Plague Formation that fiercely bore down on Taiyi True Person.

Meanwhile, on the spot, Taiyi True Person seemed to have no reaction.

In the next moment, three flowers atop his head emitted surging spiritual energy; immediately, several streaks of spiritual light swept across the air.

The magic treasures swept by the spiritual light instantly lost much of their spirituality.

This, impossible!

The magic treasures' spirituality suffered great damage; Lü Yue's face turned deathly white, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.

What happened?

On the spot, Taiyi True Person seemed to feel nothing, scratched his head, and looked at Lü Yue who was spitting blood.

This junior apprentice brother, what's wrong with you? Did you get overheated from eating hot pot?

Pfft!

Although Taiyi True Person's words were sincere, to Lü Yue's ears they were blatant mockery; the next moment, Lü Yue spat another mouthful of blood and his whole body collapsed with a bang.

Second match, Chan Teaching's Taiyi junior apprentice, victory!

At this time, the Grand Master of the Mystic Capital also announced the result.

On the Severed Teaching's side, Zhao Gongming waved his right hand, and a beam of spiritual light took the fainted Lü Yue back.

Hmph, using a half-step Great Luo to deal with Lü Yue's junior apprentice; next, let me meet this fatty!

A cold snort, and in the next moment, the fiery-tempered Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden transformed into a stream of rosy clouds and flew into the Jade Void Daoist Temple.

Oh my, it's actually a girl!

Seeing Qiongxiao enter, Taiyi True Person couldn't help but exclaim.

Hearing that, Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, saying: "How to say, pah pah, all affected by your foul accent, you dead fatty, do you look down on us female immortals?"

Being a fatty is just being a fatty; why add 'dead fatty'? That's a personal attack, right?

Taiyi True Person muttered, obviously quite dissatisfied with Qiongxiao Immortal Maiden's way of addressing him.
