Chapter 159

That was also a question mark.

To entrust everything to another, one must at least satisfy oneself—that was Qinglong's thought.

Otherwise, he might as well have stayed on Mount Yunlong, waiting for a destined one to appear.

If Luo Fu had not appeared before, this ancient Dragon Clan's quasi-Jin Xian, Qinglong, might have waited endless eons until the arrival of the Human Emperor Fuxi.

The Human Emperor Fuxi, as a reincarnation of a demonic clan elder with Nüwa as his background, was an excellent choice.

But Luo Fu's appearance shattered this situation.

As for background, as Tongtian Jiaozhu's direct disciple, that goes without saying.

As for talent, the other swiftly passed the trials he set, not to mention that Luo Fu later passed the ultimate trial of the Ancestral Dragon, becoming the second to do so after Zu Long.

Not of the Dragon Clan, yet more outstanding than the Dragon Clan.

This was Qinglong's final thought.

Precisely because of this, Qinglong ultimately risked everything and entrusted it to Luo Fu.

Huang Long being unselected was only natural.

Huang Long True Person naturally knew nothing of this, and Master Yuanshi could not possibly explain it to his own disciple.

Could it be that a Saint's favored disciple was looked down upon even by a quasi-Jin Xian?

For Master Yuanshi, this would be outright self-embarrassment.

"Luo Fu, be careful—if the opponent is beyond you, just concede," Qiongxiao couldn't help saying. "There's already some enmity between you and Huang Long; he probably won't defeat you easily."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Qiongxiao, I understand," Luo Fu nodded.

Qiongxiao's meaning was clear: if Huang Long True Person didn't immediately crush him, he would surely torment him.

This one of the Three Xiao likely feared that Luo Fu would be humiliated before the masses, severely damaging his Dao heart.

"Hahaha, Junior Brother Luo Fu, I never expected it would be you and me facing off," Huang Long True Person laughed loudly. "This time, let Senior Brother properly guide you."

No sooner had he spoken than Huang Long True Person transformed into a beam of light and shot into the Combat World.

Luo Fu, seeing this, did not hesitate—he likewise plunged in.

A ripple of space surged through the cave.

When Luo Fu regained his senses, he found himself in an entirely new world.

This world could not compare to the Primordial World, but overall it was immensely vast, with all manner of laws interwoven.

"In just an instant, he has forged such an astonishing world—truly worthy of a Saint," Luo Fu scanned the surroundings, sensed its nature, and marveled.

Tongtian Jiaozhu had once forged a world too, but that one was entirely a world of sword Dao.

The world created by Laozi Saint clearly had greater completeness than Master Tongtian's.

Yet Luo Fu found nothing surprising about this.

His teacher Tongtian had merely tested him; a complete world was unnecessary. Laozi created a complete world solely to allow both combatants to fully unleash their battle power.

To bind two Jin Xian-level experts to a mere arena would be a joke.

"Junior Brother Luo Fu…"

As Luo Fu surveyed his surroundings, a brazen laugh rang out from afar.

Laozi's world was born for combat, so it was not vast; Huang Long True Person, upon entering, quickly sensed Luo Fu's arrival and swiftly appeared before him.

Just as Huang Long True Person had said.

He would properly instruct his junior brother.

Naturally, if Luo Fu were a Chan Sect disciple, Huang Long True Person would have shown no ill will—after all, they were both disciples of Master Yuanshi.

But Luo Fu was a newly appointed direct disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, and tensions still lingered between Chan Sect and Jie Sect disciples.

Thus, Huang Long True Person wished to impress his teacher, Master Yuanshi, by confronting Luo Fu.

Three Saints were watching this duel; Huang Long True Person remembered this well.

If he defeated Luo Fu, his teacher Master Yuanshi might be pleased and bestow upon him some heavenly treasure or divine herb—how much better that would be.

Moreover, among the Jie Sect direct disciples,

only Luo Fu was someone Huang Long True Person felt confident he could defeat.

If you replaced him with Jin Ling, Wu Dang, or any other direct disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, Huang Long True Person would have headaches.

Although the last battle between Chan Sect and Jie Sect direct disciples was a hundred years ago,

in these hundred years, Huang Long True Person and the other Chan Sect direct disciples had grown considerably, yet Duobao, Jin Ling, and other Jie Sect direct disciples must have grown too.

Just now, Duobao defeated Chi Jingzi—Huang Long True Person saw clearly: Chi Jingzi was completely suppressed, offering not a single ounce of resistance.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals, Chi Jingzi's strength was greater than his own.

If Chi Jingzi was no match for Duobao Daoist, neither would he be.

Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and others might be weaker than Duobao, but Huang Long True Person still had little confidence against them.

Precisely because of this,

Luo Fu was the easiest Jie Sect direct disciple to bully.

Seeing his opponent was Luo Fu, Huang Long True Person had been overjoyed.

Huang Long True Person did not know,

that the coming battle would be the most humiliating of his life, and the one that cast a shadow over his entire existence.

"Junior Brother Luo Fu, I heard you were neglected by Master Tongtian and expelled from Biyou Palace after only a year," Huang Long True Person said with a smiling face.

"Senior Brother Huang Long, hearsay won't do. Though I've only been with my teacher for a year, I was never neglected," Luo Fu shook his head.

"Is that so?" Huang Long True Person clicked his tongue. "What a pity, what a pity—such a rare opportunity, and you failed to grasp it fully."

"Then let Senior Brother properly instruct you," Huang Long True Person's Jin Xian aura swelled, boundless divine light exploding in all directions.

These divine lights struck the mountains below.

Those mountains were also rapidly crumbling and vanishing—these were all ten-thousand-zhang Dashan.

Ten-thousand-zhang Dashan would shatter at the mere spread of a single thread of Jin Xian power.

This alone proves how terrifying the power of a Jin Xian rank truly is.

"Senior Brother Huang Long, then, I humbly ask for your guidance." Luo Fu smiled faintly.

He felt not the slightest stir in his heart at Huang Long True Person's threats.

For Huang Long True Person's strength meant nothing to him.

The other may have dwelled in the Golden Immortal Realm for a long time; ordinary Jin Xian would not be his match.

But Luo Fu was no ordinary Jin Xian.

His originally fragile flesh had long been forged into an unimaginably terrifying level.

Even if he stood still and let a Jin Xian strike him, that Jin Xian might still fail to break his defense.

This was the body Luo Fu forged by refining his flesh with Lei Jie power, then further refining it using the Dragon Clan's bloodline and their divine techniques.

One could say.

Luo Fu's current body likely held no difference from the legendary Nine-Turn Mystery Art body refinement.

Yet in some sense, this was normal.

To forge a body approaching the very peak of the Jin Xian realm.

That was achieved only by Luo Fu combining Lei Jie power with his maxed-out comprehension.

Added to that was the bloodline power refined to second only to the Primordial Dragon, fused with Dragon Clan divine techniques, to accomplish this.

For anyone else.

There would be no qualifications to obtain such heavenly treasures.

Even if they had them, their own comprehension and talent were insufficient—they could never achieve it.

At least during Lei Jie body refinement, they could not have perfectly controlled it—they would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

As for later using Dragon Clan divine techniques, it would be even more impossible.

Thus, only Luo Fu could accomplish this; if you replaced him with any other person, they likely could not.

Precisely because of this.

For Huang Long True Person before him, Luo Fu had no need for any serious thoughts.

The gap in strength between them was immense.

"Good." Huang Long True Person, watching Luo Fu's smile, narrowed his eyes. "Junior Brother Luo Fu, it seems you have great confidence in your own strength."

"It's no surprise—after all, since becoming a Jin Xian, you've likely never had a chance to fight him."

"Today, let Senior Brother properly show you."

Huang Long True Person swept his palm through empty air; countless Dao laws coalesced into divine light and shot toward Luo Fu.
