Chapter 192

"Master need not be like this!"

Seeing the emotional struggle in the Tongtian Saint's heart, Lin Fan also let out a sigh of relief.

As long as the Tongtian Saint was truly fighting for the sake of all living beings in the Primordial world and for the future of his disciples, then there was still a possibility for this matter to continue, and his own plan could also be largely realized.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan immediately said, "Master, the Dao Ancestor's meaning was only to bring back the four limbs of the Xuangui; he did not explicitly state that it must be killed."

"Since that is the case, why not just bring back the four limbs, and take this opportunity to help the Xuangui!"

"Once we help it, after it survives this tribulation, the probability of it proving the Dao as a Hunyuan will be extremely high. At that time, it will be a huge boost for my Jie Sect, and even for you, Master, it will be a very good boost, a sparring partner, or even an object for mutual exchange."

"Hmm..."

A flash of brilliance crossed his eyes, and the Tongtian Saint was moved.

Just as Lin Fan said, Hongjun's order was to bring back the four limbs to refine into Heavenly Pillars; he did not name the Xuangui to be killed.

And if he really helped the Xuangui, making it his fellow Daoist, an exchange partner, or even a sparring partner, that would be much more satisfying than a life-and-death struggle. Moreover, with both sides constantly fighting, he was confident he could rapidly improve his own strength.

After all, now that everyone had reached the Saint Realm, they basically would not take action personally, but he practiced the Sword Dao; only through fighting and slaughter could he improve sufficiently fast.

Thinking to this point, the Tongtian Saint narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Explain in detail, how can we make the Xuangui cooperate?"

"Based on what Fuxi recounted before, even if I were to go all out, I would only have the confidence to suppress the Xuangui, but that would be to kill it. To defeat it completely would be even more difficult."

This statement was not false.

Killing is easy; defeating is hard.

Having fought with a Half-step Hunyuan, the Tongtian Saint knew all too well how difficult that was.

"Simple."

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth lifted as he looked at the Tongtian Saint and said, "Master, do not forget that the Xuangui was born in the ancient times, and I deduce that it is very likely a creature born right after the creation of the world. That is why it has been unable to take human form and has always appeared in its original body!"

"Since that is the case, it also shows that the Xuangui's physical body is its greatest trump card, and also its greatest shackle."

"As long as we discuss it properly with it, it will certainly abandon a portion of its physical body, such as its four limbs, without hesitation."

"Although it will lose some of its own origin, it will also be able to break its own bloodline shackles. Once it takes human form, its proving the Dao is basically a certainty. The probability of it refusing is too low."

"Even if it fails, all it loses is its four limbs, not its life. I believe it will not make the choice to refuse."

Having said this, Lin Fan paused for a moment before continuing: "Of course, the premise is that you, Master, must first demonstrate the combat power sufficient to kill it; otherwise, it will be difficult to continue with such words..."

"Leave it to me."

The corners of the Tongtian Saint's mouth lifted, and he was full of confidence at this moment.

Just kidding.

Besides the Four Zhuxian Swords, he now had the Taiji Diagram and the Pangu Banner.

If even this could not threaten the life of the Xuangui, then he could only wait for the six Saints to gather and besiege it together.

After the discussion was finished, the Tongtian Saint did not linger, suddenly accelerating and taking Lin Fan forward.

Not long after, the master and disciple arrived at the end of the North Sea.

"Hiss, so big."

Just upon arriving, both Lin Fan and the Tongtian Saint could not help but gasp.

For no other reason than that the Xuangui's volume was simply too massive, even surpassing the Ancestral Witch True Body of the Ancestral Witches.

Most importantly, the terrifying aura emanating from its body was definitely superior to those few Chaos Spiritual Roots in the Pangu Hall.

"Lin Fan, give the Taiji Diagram to me."

Without any hesitation, the Tongtian Saint said directly.

Before, he had been full of confidence.

But after witnessing the situation of the Xuangui with his own eyes, he had to admit that he would have to go all out when fighting it, and at that time, he would truly have no time to look after Lin Fan.

"Yes, Master."

Responding, Lin Fan quickly took out the Taiji Diagram and handed it to the Tongtian Saint.

After taking it casually, the Tongtian Saint did not waste any more words, directly throwing it into mid-air: "Open—"

The next second, Saint magic power surged, and the Taiji Diagram quietly shone brilliantly.

Although it was not the Tongtian Saint's magic treasure, the Taiji Diagram was transformed from the Pangu Axe, and as one of the Three Purities, the Tongtian Saint had no obstacles in controlling it.

In an instant, the Taiji Diagram rose into the air.

The Yin and Yang Qi roiled, and two Yin-Yang fish, one black and one white, directly emerged.

Leaping between each other, the Yin-Yang fish continuously intertwined and collided, the Yin and Yang Qi mixing together, and a golden beam of light shone brilliantly.

Immediately following this, a golden bridge appeared, spanning the entire area at the end of the North Sea, and the golden beam of light fell, covering the area where Lin Fan was.

After doing all this, the Tongtian Saint took a step out, holding the Qingping Sword, and said: "Lin Fan, stay here and watch; you must not leave the range covered by the golden light."

"I have already sealed this heaven and earth with the Taiji Diagram; the Xuangui's power will not be able to spread to this place!"

"Yes, Master!"

Bowing, Lin Fan's heart was filled with immense anticipation at this moment.

Watching the battle between the Tongtian Saint and the Xuangui from such a close distance was a very good accumulation of experience.

He could take this opportunity to completely smooth out the killing intent and killing nature within his body, and completely stabilize his own Sword Dao realm.

And after giving his instructions, the Tongtian Saint took a step out and had already appeared in the area where the Xuangui was.

"Fellow Daoist Xuangui, I, Tongtian, offer my greetings!"

Arriving in the area in front of the Xuangui's head, the Tongtian Saint held his sword and bowed to express his respect.

For no other reason than that the other party could cultivate to such a level with their own power; to be honest, it was completely incomparable to those Saints like them who had achieved success quickly with the help of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Moreover, as one of the Three Purities, he owed more to Pangu's merit, which was the foundation and protection from his father's generation. If one really calculated it, he truly did not have much confidence that he could have cultivated to the level of a Half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Shangqing Tongtian!"

A dull voice rang out like a bell, the waters of the North Sea roiled, and a massive dragon head emerged from the water's surface.

The difference was that although this Xuangui's head resembled a dragon's, it had no horns, and the teeth in its mouth were even sharper and larger, looking cold and gleaming, like rows of sword mountains with their sharpness fully exposed.

That pair of eyes, larger than ordinary stars, presented a golden-silver color. At this moment, they locked onto the Tongtian Saint, and after sizing him up for a moment, it said: "You are much more polite than those two fellows from before; you are indeed worthy of being transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit."

"Speaking of which, there is still some connection between you and me!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Saint raised an eyebrow, bowed slightly, and said: "I would like to hear the details!"
