Chapter 180

Guang Chengzi did not trust Luo Fu, but he had to believe in Tongtian Jiaozhu—he was a Daoist Sage just like their Master.

They did not need to exhaust their disciples' futures for this victory.

If that were the case, the face of a Sage would have been utterly lost long ago.

After all, besides Tongtian Jiaozhu, the other two Sages were watching this duel.

Without any forced growth, Luo Fu's manifestation of becoming a Dao through his physical body was already the limit in Guang Chengzi's eyes.

That had already surpassed even the direct disciples of these Sages.

If Luo Fu's soul had reached such a level, it would not merely exceed the direct disciples of the Sages by a little—it would dwarf them utterly.

"Impossible," Luo Fu chuckled lightly at Guang Chengzi's disbelief. "Brother Guang Chengzi, don't assume what's impossible for you is impossible for others. The Primordial World is vast, vast indeed, filled with too many geniuses—you simply haven't seen them yet."

"Genius," Guang Chengzi's eyes gleamed. "Younger Brother Luo Fu, how could any genius of the Primordial World compare to you? I now doubt whether even our Master and the others could have achieved this at your age."

Although Guang Chengzi had not witnessed the rise of the Three Pure Ones.

Yet as a Jin Xian, Guang Chengzi had some understanding of the world beyond.

Even if his Master and the others were exaggerated, they could not possibly surpass the likes of Dong Huang Taiyi, Di Jun, or the Ancestral Giants by much.

After all, Dong Huang Taiyi and the others were once among the three thousand mortal guests of the Purple Cloud Palace.

They had personally founded the Demon Clan.

Had the Three Pure Ones not become Sages, their Master might still have been suppressed by Dong Huang Taiyi and Di Jun.

But fate made the Three Pure Ones become Sages—and that was destiny.

Fate ordained that the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, and others become Sages, widening the gap between them and the Demon Clan and the Ancestral Giants.

But that was destiny later on—could their Master have reached Luo Fu's level in the early days?

"I merely happened to be in the right place at the right time—pure luck," Luo Fu showed no pride.

After all, he knew he was merely a Jin Xian, still vastly inferior to the mighty beings of the Primordial World.

At this time, if he encountered a Great Luo Immortal, Luo Fu would not be their match.

Not to mention the legendary Hunyuan Great Luo Immortal—that was still a long, long road ahead.

Thinking of this, how could Luo Fu feel any pride or complacency?

"Regardless, Younger Brother Luo Fu, I will not yield," Guang Chengzi took a deep breath and declared firmly.

Even if Luo Fu was strong, Guang Chengzi could never surrender so easily.

This was the dignity of a direct disciple of the Chan Sect.

Of course, crucially, his Master and the many disciples of Mount Kunlun were watching—he could not afford to surrender and bring shame upon his Master.

If his Master, in anger, expelled him from the Twelve Golden Immortals, that would truly be a tragedy.

Although Luo Fu had now displayed immense power.

But even if Luo Fu could defeat him, he wouldn't kill him, would he?

Every disciple of Mount Kunlun engaged in combat knew this well.

Their duels were more about sparring than mortal combat.

Of course, even if power spiraled out of control, the Sages would intervene.

With the Sages watching, how could any accident occur from the power of Golden Immortals?

"If so, Brother Guang Chengzi, let me see your strength," Luo Fu laughed aloud, and the Daoist runes on his body erupted once more.

His physical form radiated brilliant golden light.

This golden light pulsed with the most yang and unyielding energy—Luo Fu's power of becoming Dao through his physical body.

What turned Guang Chengzi's face pale was:

He realized Luo Fu's physical strength had grown even stronger than before.

It might seem like only a slight increase, but Luo Fu's physical power had already been barely tolerable for Guang Chengzi—now it had grown further, making it utterly impossible for Guang Chengzi to resist.

"Yu Qing Sacred Scripture…"

Guang Chengzi's expression shifted, and the Sage's cultivation technique activated within him.

Daoist runes flowed over his body, and the twin swords in his hands unleashed waves of sword qi capable of destroying heaven and earth.

In truth, if Guang Chengzi's attack struck any world within the Group Member World, it could easily obliterate those worlds.

This was the terrifying power Guang Chengzi unleashed in this moment.

Yet even so, these terrifying forces were shattered outright by Luo Fu's raw physical strength.

Luo Fu used no spiritual treasure, no technique or move.

Guang Chengzi had already channeled the Sage's scripture to unleash his utmost power.

Guang Chengzi had previously been confident in his strength.

Even against late-stage Golden Immortals from beyond, Guang Chengzi had full confidence he could defeat them.

This was not merely his own confidence—it was confidence in his Master, the Sage.

Master Yuanshi, the legendary Sage.

If even the direct disciples of a Sage could not surpass the Golden Immortals of the outside world, it would not be their shame—it would be the Sage's shame.

How could a direct disciple of a Sage be weaker than outside Golden Immortals?

But now, facing Luo Fu's terrifying power, Guang Chengzi's former pride was being shattered again and again.

"Brother Guang Chengzi, meet this technique," Luo Fu's fist suddenly summoned six black holes, each flowing with the aura of reincarnation and utmost yang energy.

At this moment, Luo Fu resembled Pangu, the primordial being who opened heaven and earth—he sought to forge reincarnation and create the cycle.

Facing the foremost of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Luo Fu revealed a portion of his power.

Six Paths Fist.

This, too, was a martial art Luo Fu had created over time using his maxed-out comprehension.

The conception of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist was naturally something Luo Fu had derived from various techniques he had once seen in the Shrouding the Heavens World and other worlds.

It's just that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist that Luo Fu created by combining the laws and fusion of the Great Dao of the Primordial World with various Great Dao systems was incomparably more powerful than the Six Paths of Reincarnation from worlds like Shrouding the Heavens.

They were entirely two different concepts.

The power of utmost hardness and utmost yang, combined with Luo Fu's terrifyingly extreme physical body.

The true might of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist was perfectly unleashed at this moment.

And beneath this power of utmost hardness and utmost yang, there was also the power of reincarnation pulling at Blasting Guang Chengzi, giving both his Primordial Spirit and soul the sensation of being drawn into it.

This was a dual attack on Primordial Spirit and body.

Just as Blasting Guang Chengzi was about to fall into that sensation of reincarnation.

A rare clarity surged into his heart — it was the Jade Pure Saint Art technique operating of its own accord.

As the condensation of Master Yuanshi Tianzun's Great Dao, the Jade Pure Saint Art naturally possessed extraordinary qualities.

Compared to the techniques cultivated by other beings in the Primordial World, the Jade Pure Saint Art was incomparably more powerful.

The personal disciples of the Chan Sect all cultivated the Jade Pure Saint Art.

Naturally, though it's called the Jade Pure Saint Art, the saint arts cultivated by the Chan Sect's personal disciples still differed from one another.

That was because each person formed different technique systems based on their own comprehension.

It's just that the core of the Great Dao remained Master Yuanshi Tianzun's comprehension and knowledge of the Great Dao.

Like the various saints of the Primordial World who taught techniques to their disciples — they expounded the ultimate principles of the Great Dao to their disciples, letting each disciple comprehend them on their own.

It wasn't like the Wu Xia World, where it was a single fixed, rigid technique.

This point.

Luo Fu had already understood this point from his earlier studies with Saint Tongtian.

When saints taught, it was more about transmitting the Dao.

As for how much of the Great Dao they expounded you could comprehend, that depended entirely on each person's aptitude and enlightenment.

Your own innate foundation mostly just let you cultivate faster than ordinary people.

Of course, Primordial beings with outstanding innate foundation also had, to a certain extent, outstanding comprehension.

Perhaps this was also why Master Yuanshi Tianzun only accepted disciples with outstanding innate foundation — though Master Yuanshi Tianzun had never held any fondness for those of fur, horns, damp birth, or egg-hatched origins to begin with.

As the foremost of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Blasting Guang Chengzi's aptitude was naturally among the very best.

One could say.

Those who could become disciples of a saint — their aptitude could certainly be affirmed.

Even disciples of the Jie Sect, because Saint Tongtian taught without discrimination and accepted all comers, still required certain trials.

Only by passing the trials did one qualify to become a disciple of a saint.

Therefore, a certain standard was still maintained.
