Chapter 403

"Interesting."

Sang Kong, who was watching the show, was originally a bit surprised to see Li Rui walk onto the stone platform, but when he saw that the Imperial Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom's disciple was also on stage, his expression immediately became playful.

This is internal strife.

Although it is not uncommon for people of the same sect to discuss the Dao.

But Sang Kong knew a lot of inside information and understood that this was a matter between Li Rui and Fang Hua, and even more so a matter between the Imperial Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom and the Director of the Astronomical Bureau.

Many people in the Wu Kingdom were eyeing his position, and Li Rui was naturally in the same situation.

It's just that compared to Fang Hua, he found Li Rui more pleasing to the eye.

He did not hope that Li Rui's position would be snatched away.

Seeing Li Rui go on stage.

Ning Ning Zhongtian, Ge Hong, Wei Ming, and Tan Hu all had worry flash in their eyes.

Just now, when Li Rui was talking to the Imperial Preceptor's disciple, they were right beside him.

It was obvious.

This was the Imperial Preceptor wanting to make trouble.

If Li Rui couldn't hold it, that would be a disaster.

Even with Gu Gu Changsheng protecting him, the position of elder of the Profound Micro Sect would definitely not be kept.

As the reputation of the Profound Micro Sect gradually revealed itself, there was no telling how many people in the world were coveting this position.

"Do you think Big Brother can win?"

Ning Ning Zhongtian said.

Ge Hong pondered: "It's just discussing the Dao, so there is some possibility."

That's what he said.

But none of them had any bottom in their hearts.

There was no way; that Imperial Preceptor's disciple named Fang Hua must be a great expert of the Upper Three Ranks; how could their Big Brother be an opponent?

They only hoped that he wouldn't lose too miserably.

In this way, Gu Gu Changsheng could still borrow the rule that Upper Three Ranks were not allowed to be stationed to block the Imperial Preceptor's trouble.

If he collapsed at the first touch, then even Gu Gu Changsheng wouldn't be easy to come forward.

After all, the Yu Kingdom is not decided by Gu Gu Changsheng alone, and that Lord of the Dragon Court cannot blindly favor one side.

Li Rui walked onto the stage with a calm expression.

There were two raised circular disks on the stone platform, which was where they sat when debating scriptures and discussing the Dao.

The two sat down.

It immediately attracted the attention of many people.

It was not just because of the internal strife in the Yu Kingdom, but also because Fang Hua's own status among the hidden sects was extremely high.

During the Luo Tian Great Offering.

Every time an elder of the Upper Three Ranks went on stage, it would cause a sensation.

Today.

Fang Hua was the first Upper Three Rank to go on stage, naturally attracting everyone's attention.

"Who is the person opposite?"

"Could it be that he is also a hidden Upper Three Rank expert?"

Many of these immortal sect elders and disciples did not recognize Li Rui, and seeing Li Rui go on stage, they discussed it for a while.

Soon.

Someone who understood the situation in Yunzhou stood out:

"This person is named Li Rui, and he is an official stationed at the Profound Micro Sect by the Yu Kingdom, but..."

"If I remember correctly, he should be a Primordial."

"How dare he go on stage?"

Once they heard this, more people came to watch the fun.

Primordial versus Below Tongxuan, and it was an internal war in the Yu Kingdom; this was much more interesting.

On the high platform.

Fang Hua looked at Li Rui with a smile.

His peripheral vision quietly swept over the white jade platform not far away; his master, the Imperial Preceptor, and Great True Person Qing Ding were both there.

'Must win.'

Or rather, winning was not his goal at all; what he wanted was a great victory!

So that Gu Gu Changsheng would have nothing to say.

Although the Imperial Preceptor didn't say it, he had long since understood it.

"The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth seeks truth..."

Fang Hua spoke slowly.

The voice was like a great bell, making people's hearts tremble.

'So overbearing!'

Not only those disciples, but even the elders were startled by Fang Hua's move.

Especially that word "truth."

It was like a great hammer hitting the primordial spirit; ordinary people simply couldn't hold it.

Didn't you see those disciples with weaker cultivation couldn't even stand?

Just when everyone thought Li Rui would collapse at the first touch.

They discovered—

He was unmoved!

I saw Li Rui, who was only three feet away from Fang Hua, with a calm expression, and not even the corner of his clothes was lifted.

"He..."

The crowd below the stage widened their eyes for a moment.

A Primordial could actually block the primordial spirit impact of a Below Tongxuan.

Incredible!

But soon, someone reacted and exclaimed: "He broke through?!"

With this sound.

Everyone's face also showed a look of sudden realization.

Right.

A Primordial could not take such a terrible blow, unless Li Rui had already broken through!

At this time.

Li Rui's voice slowly sounded: "I was lucky to break through the Spirit Refining Pass; today I should let Brother Fang enjoy himself."

Hearing Li Rui's words.

The crowd was in an uproar for a while.

They never expected that in a small place like Yunzhou, in just over ten years, two Upper Three Ranks had appeared one after another.

This is also a trend of martial arts prosperity if placed in those big continents.

Although Spirit Refining had not yet fully become the Below Tongxuan Realm, the primordial spirit had already been formed; no wonder he could block Fang Hua's blow.

Li Rui was calm in his heart.

He could resist Fang Hua's blow so easily not just because his Dao Fetus was already formed.

It was because his primordial spirit had long been tempered by the Bai Yu Steps, and he could take more violent impacts than Fang Hua's; now it was just a breeze blowing over the mountain mist.

The words just now.

Were to deliberately dispel the random guesses in the hearts of those people.

Compared to a Primordial being able to take a Below Tongxuan blow, there is no doubt that saying he broke through directly is easier for people to accept.

He was over eighty when he broke through, which is actually not too prominent compared to Jiangjiang Linxian, Nie Nie Siming, and Yuan Xiong.

And he had already become a Dao Fetus, so it didn't matter if he showed his Spirit Refining strength to the outside world.

Even if it weren't for today, he would have found an excuse.

Fang Hua, sitting opposite him, narrowed his eyes.

"Broke through?"

Unexpected.

But he soon understood that there is no such coincidence in the world; Li Rui clearly had broken through many days ago, just that he had been enduring it.

He snorted coldly.

Just as he was about to continue speaking.

He heard Li Rui speak slowly: "It's my turn."

Fang Hua didn't expect that Li Rui would actually take the initiative to debate scriptures with him.

Not only him, but the crowd below the stage was also shocked.

Could it be that he is turning the world upside down?!

"Heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me. Heaven and earth and all things, things and I are one... We practitioners should fight with heaven!"

As the word "fight" fell.

In the square in front of the Dharma Transmission Hall, all the scripture debate sounds were suppressed for a moment.

Silence.

One person suppresses a thousand people.

It should be called: when spring comes, I don't speak first, which insect dares to make a sound!

At the highest point.

The gaze of the Imperial Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom and Great True Person Qing Ding was also attracted here.

Great True Person Qing Ding stroked his beard and laughed: "What a good 'fight with heaven'!"

The Imperial Preceptor stood quietly, with no expression visible.

Great True Person Qing Ding looked at the Imperial Preceptor of the Yu Kingdom on the side: "Daoist Yuan, the Yu Kingdom has quite a few wonderful people."

The Imperial Preceptor spoke slowly: "I have made you laugh, Daoist."

The gazes of the two great figures fell on the stone platform.

Fang Hua's eyes turned cold instantly.

His master was already paying attention, and now he was riding a tiger and hard to get off; he had to win the scripture debate, otherwise, the Imperial Preceptor would be disappointed in him.

Disappointment is a very serious matter.

The only luck, perhaps, is that Li Rui had not yet fully taken that step, so there was still opportunity.

Suddenly—

The spiritual energy around the stone platform began to move abnormally, actually forming a vortex with Fang Hua as the center.

"Spiritual energy vortex?!"

Someone exclaimed.

Fang Hua was about to release a big move.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

But just as he was about to prepare to circulate spiritual energy to resist Fang Hua's offensive—

The spiritual energy vortex actually dissipated on its own.

It disappeared into nothingness.

Looking at Fang Hua's confused face, you could tell it wasn't him who dissipated it.

"Enough."

The Imperial Preceptor said with a trace of anger in his dignity.

Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Fang Hua's behavior just now.

Fang Hua couldn't help but shiver.

Li Rui slowly stood up and bowed to the Imperial Preceptor's direction: "Thank you, Imperial Preceptor."

After saying that.

He turned and walked down the stone platform.

Leaving only Fang Hua with an extremely ugly face.

Li Rui naturally understood.

The Imperial Preceptor doing this was not because he didn't help his disciple, but because Fang Hua's action was losing face for the Yu Kingdom.

Official business is official business, nothing more.

Li Rui walked into the crowd.

Many people looked at him with envy, and even awe.

Just when he came to the side of Ning Ning Zhongtian and the other four.

Lines of small characters appeared before his eyes.
