Chapter 678: Battle for the Dao Child

"There are quite a few good seedlings among the little guys this year."

True Monarch Fufeng swept his gaze over the five people on the Ascension Platform, a look of gratification appearing in his eyes.

Bai Yujing has successors, which is a good thing.

Whether an immortal sect can flourish for a long time depends on whether there are amazing juniors.

"Indeed."

The old Daoist Fa Ran standing to the side nodded.

"I heard there is also someone who attains the Dao by strength this time?"

"But it hasn't appeared for a long time."

True Monarch Fufeng asked.

"That Li Rui is the one who attains the Dao by strength; his aptitude and character are both quite good."

The old Daoist Fa Ran pointed to Li Rui among the five and said.

True Monarch Fufeng's gaze fell on Li Rui: "Indeed a good junior."

"I once sparred with Fellow Daoist Jiuyuan; those who attain the Dao by strength are indeed not simple."

The Fellow Daoist Jiuyuan he spoke of was a strength-cultivating True Monarch from another province.

"Actually from a small cave heaven?"

"Excellent."

True Monarch Fufeng narrowed his eyes.

The old Daoist Fa Ran on the side knew very well why True Monarch Fufeng said this, because this True Monarch was the most amazing one to walk out of a small cave heaven back then.

On the Ascension Platform.

Li Rui felt the gaze from a True Monarch, and for a moment, it was like being pricked by thorns, as if this glance could see through all his details.

Fortunately, his biggest trump card was the system.

Let alone a True Monarch, even a Dao Lord couldn't see through it.

At this time.

That white-browed Spirit Severing realm old man slowly walked in front of the five people: "The battle for the Dao Child, the one with the higher Dao wins; at the first quarter of noon, start the formation."

The one with the higher Dao wins.

How to prove the higher Dao?

In Bai Yujing, there is only one standard—of course, it's being able to fight.

Speaking of which.

This has to start from the founding ancestor of Bai Yujing.

The founding ancestor of Bai Yujing was extremely special; he was not a sword cultivator, but he liked using swords the most, and attained the reputation of the world's number one flying sword without being a sword cultivator, with extraordinary combat power.

Perhaps it was precisely because he liked to fight and was able to fight that he set this rule for the battle for the Dao Child for future generations.

The first quarter of noon arrived quickly.

Instantly—

A light curtain slowly rose, which was a great formation.

The light curtain was like a large bowl inverted, and soon shrouded the Ascension Platform.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed.

Li Rui found himself on a boundless wilderness, and not far away, there was a mountain towering into the clouds, thousands of zhang high.

"Another place where reality and illusion intersect?"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.

No surprise.

Because every battle for the Dao Child is like this.

Of course, it couldn't be a simple brawl limited to the Ascension Platform; otherwise, with the hundred-zhang range of the Ascension Platform, as long as one opened the True Martial realm, it would basically be a locked victory.

And the ability to fight of immortal cultivators is ultimately different from the ability to fight of martial artists.

But it's not complicated either.

Simply put, the one who can reach the top of that Dao mountain is the candidate for the Dao Child.

The five people looked at each other.

And then very tacitly chose a direction each and flew towards these Dao mountains.

Only an instant.

Li Rui came to the foot of the Dao mountain.

There was suppression from the great formation, so he couldn't fly and could only climb like a mortal.

Li Rui stepped down without hesitation.

A terrifying Great Dao force struck.

He was not affected at all and landed steadily.

This was the first pass of the Dao mountain—the Dao Power Pass.

It was to test whether the foundation of the Great Dao was solid; if the foundation wasn't even solid, what qualifications were there to become a Dao Child.

Li Rui walked very steadily and very quickly.

No other reason.

Who told him that his strongest point was his Dao foundation.

At this time.

Outside the Ascension Platform.

"This Li Rui is truly powerful; his speed is not slower than Senior Brother Liu Qing at all."

"Actually surpassed Senior Brother Liu?!"

Exclamations one after another. ===== CHAPTER 679 =====
