Chapter 1729: People Cannot Be Compared

Watching Ye Zhangqing's seemingly chaotic sword technique and his unidentifiable movement, Hei Lin murmured.

Ye Zhangqing's attack looked strange, but the more so, the more Hei Lin and the others felt shocked.

Everyone is a Top Prodigy, so their eyesight naturally cannot be compared to that of ordinary cultivators.

Not being able to see what sword technique and movement Ye Zhangqing is using does not mean his Xiūliàn is inferior.

On the contrary, this shows Ye Zhangqing has already walked his own path.

Xiūliàn path, from layman to entry, to mastery, to perfection, actually always follows the predecessors' road.

Xiūliàn the predecessors' techniques, Xiūliàn the predecessors' methods, learning the predecessors' experiences.

All along, it has been simply imitating the predecessors' road in an orderly manner.

This is indeed a shortcut, like a mountain path that, as generation after generation walks it, becomes flatter and smoother for those who come later.

The Xiūliàn path is also like that.

But always walking the predecessors' road and learning their experiences ultimately always has an end.

Therefore, at the end of Xiūliàn, one must certainly walk one's own path and find the Xiūliàn great way unique to oneself.

Combining lifelong learning into simplicity, merging into what truly suits oneself best.

At that point, there is no longer any distinction between techniques and methods; everything you possess is uniquely yours, which others cannot learn or imitate.

And this is also the most basic threshold for breaking through the Ancestor Realm.

Any Ancestor Realm powerhouse must have found their own Dao, completely merging their techniques and methods, only then is there hope of breaking through the Ancestor Realm.

It sounds easy and simple, but truly wanting to achieve this step is not an easy thing; it can even be said to be as hard as climbing to heaven.

That's why so many Emperor Sovereign Perfection-level powerhouses are stuck in the Emperor Sovereign Perfection Realm, stuck for a lifetime.

No matter how hard one tries, in the end there is no way to cross this step.

It's precisely because they cannot achieve the Dao's utmost simplicity and walk their own Xiūliàn great way.

Even many Emperor Sovereign Realm Perfection powerhouses cannot do this, yet Ye Zhangqing has done it now.

He is only at Great Emperor cultivation, so Hei Lin and the others are thus so surprised.

Because even they cannot now achieve this step, and it can even be said that the difference is vast.

Before, it wasn't that they hadn't tried, but every attempt ended in failure.

Wanting to walk one's own Dao is too hard, really too hard.

Luo Jiuyou stared dumbfounded at Ye Zhangqing, and only after a long while murmured.

"In this battle, do you still think Elder Brother Changqing will lose?"

This was said to Hei Lin at the side; hearing it, Hei Lin silently shook his head.

Joking aside, having already walked one's own Dao, Ye Zhangqing's chance of winning this battle is at least eighty percent.

This is a qualitative difference, a fundamental disparity, not something easily made up.

Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin were shocked, while Tian Xing and Qing Shen Ji were terrified.

Originally they thought that by unleashing their secret trump cards and relying on their numerical advantage, even if Ye Zhangqing's combat power exceeded their expectations, the two would still hold the upper hand.

But who would have thought Ye Zhangqing's combat power could be this strong?

In this moment, Tian Xing and Qing Shen Ji's eyes unconsciously filled with a look of disbelief.

Is this guy a monster? Can anyone's talent in this world really be this strong?

As Top Prodigies, they have been cherished by all kinds of admirers since childhood, and in talent they have never been inferior to anyone.

But now, facing Ye Zhangqing, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing found themselves struck, and it was a utter devastation.

Compared to Ye Zhangqing, the top talent they had been proud of since childhood simply becomes a joke.

At the Great Emperor Realm, having walked one's own Dao and reached the Dao's utmost simplicity, whereas they haven't even touched the threshold, still in a state of utter confusion.

With such a huge gap, they are too embarrassed to say their talent is top-notch.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that, with Ye Zhangqing's combat power, the two together seem no longer a match.

Their faces grew uglier; even though Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing exerted all their strength, in the end Tian Xing's Heavenly Protection was shattered by a single blade.

Tian Xing broke out in a cold sweat, dared not continue fighting Ye Zhangqing, and hastily withdrew.

Even the Heavenly Protection couldn't block Ye Zhangqing's attack; how could he still have the courage to continue entangling with Ye Zhangqing?

A few blows could kill him.

Watching the Heavenly Protection shattered, Tian Xing withdrew without hesitation, and Ye Zhangqing snorted, not launching a pursuit.

Without that turtle-shell layer, Tian Xing is no different from a toothless tiger.

Ye Zhangqing then shifted his target to Qing Shen Ji.

The Divine Race's godly concealment, though somewhat troublesome, coming and leaving without trace, Ye Zhangqing indeed could not accurately pinpoint Qing Shen Ji's position.

So what if he can't find her? Just find a way to force her out.

His blade aura instantly multiplied tenfold, that terrifying blade aura making the entire space seem like an ocean of blades.

Every corner was permeated with thick blade aura.

Under the blanket of blade aura, space began to crumble inch by inch; seeing this, Luo Jiuyou couldn't help but shout.

"My goodness, the Blade Intent can shatter space?"

Blade Intent, Sword Intent—these powers are familiar to Luo Jiuyou and company; each has long mastered them.

But merely relying on Blade Intent to shatter an entire space—Luo Jiuyou asks himself, he absolutely cannot do that.

Even causing space to warp is impossible.

The Blade Intent Ye Zhangqing is now displaying, in Luo Jiuyou's view, has completely exceeded the realm of artistic conception, and is even countless times stronger than the power of laws.

This basically cannot be called Blade Intent; it is a completely novel means Ye Zhangqing himself invented.

And under such terrifying Blade Intent enveloping everything, even Qing Shen Ji, who possesses godly concealment, now has nowhere to hide.

The entire space was shrouded in Ye Zhangqing's Blade Intent, and this Blade Intent was fundamentally not something Qing Shen Ji could contend with.

She could only helplessly reveal her form, gazing at Ye Zhangqing with a complex expression.

Seeing Qing Shen Ji appear, Ye Zhangqing smiled slightly, so he said that if he couldn't find her he wouldn't bother looking, as there are countless ways to make Qing Shen Ji herself appear voluntarily.

And the Blade Intent Ye Zhangqing used was merely the simplest, most brutal method.

And Qing Shen Ji, forced to reveal her form, had not the slightest hesitation; her first reaction was to flee, fleeing even farther than Tian Xing.

She simply dared not give Ye Zhangqing any chance.

Even Tian Xing, who possessed a turtle shell, had his shell chopped to pieces by Ye Zhangqing's few blows, let alone her defensive power being nowhere near comparable to Tian Xing's; at this moment, besides fleeing, there was no other option.

Once Ye Zhangqing seized the opportunity, she had no confidence at all to block it.
