Chapter 785: A good scheme

"What?"

"Dao heart clouded with dust?"

"How did this happen?"

"How could it be like this?"

Inside the great hall, several Phoenix Clan Demon Emperors were in a state of panic.

This was Lady Feng Wanxi, after all. Lady Feng Wanxi, the current number one prodigy of the Phoenix Clan, the future of the Phoenix Clan, possessing eight-and-a-half-tier luck, the hope for the Phoenix Clan to stand tall across the entire continent.

If something went wrong with Lady Feng Wanxi, then the entire Phoenix Clan would face trouble.

"Huu..." The Seventh Elder took a deep breath and said, "This old man understands... This matter is likely related to today's alchemy!"

During the alchemy session, He Ping and Lady Feng Wanxi were competing against each other. Although He Ping did not go to swear a Heavenly Dao oath in the end, the fact that Lady Feng Wanxi had cheated during the second round was known to everyone.

It hadn't been exposed to the point of stripping her bare, but everyone knew exactly what was hidden beneath her clothes.

If one were to say such a thing didn't affect the Dao heart, that would be impossible.

Therefore, Lady Feng Wanxi's Dao heart had become clouded with dust.

Once the Dao heart is clouded with dust, a cultivator cannot continue to comprehend Dao techniques or break through Dao barriers.

In other words, there is no way to improve one's cultivation base.

"Thirteenth Sister, go and take a look. Check carefully to see if Wanxi's Dao heart is truly clouded with dust. Don't make a mistake..."

"Yes!" A woman dressed in green robes bowed and then left.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the green-robed Demon Emperor returned to the great hall, looked at the Seventh Elder, and said, "I have already checked. The problem is not major; it is indeed just the Dao heart being clouded with dust!"

"Good!" The Seventh Elder breathed a sigh of relief. "A clouded Dao heart does not affect the upcoming trials; it only means she cannot comprehend the Dao for now!"

"After this trial ends and we return to the God Clan, we can simply use supreme heavenly treasures to sweep away the dust on her Dao heart. As long as the Dao heart is not shattered, there is no problem!"

That's right!

What is more serious than a clouded Dao heart is a shattered Dao heart.

If the Dao heart were shattered, the invisible Dao root within the body would snap, and at that point, it would not be something that could be repaired by heavenly treasures.

"Alright, let us put this matter aside for now!" The Seventh Elder continued. "Next, Seventeenth Brother, tell us about He Ping and Wang Dun!"

"Very well!" An elderly Demon Emperor said, "I have already sent people to inquire clearly. This kid Wang Dun is indeed outstanding, but compared to He Ping, he lacks a bit of dominance and doesn't have He Ping's composure. Correspondingly, He Ping poses a greater threat to our God Clan, and by a significant margin!"

"That's right!" Another Demon Emperor said, "He Ping was first in the first round. In the second round of Dao comprehension, he actually hid his strength. If he hadn't hidden his strength, his ranking could have at least been on par with Wang Dun, or perhaps his Dao technique vortex might have even broken through six hundred zhang!"

"Who else could break through three levels while comprehending the Dao?"

The group nodded.

The old man continued, "So, Wang Dun is secondary. The key is this He Ping; he is terrifyingly steady. In this alchemy layer, I estimate that if given enough time, he should be able to surpass Zhu Xuanlun. Although Zhu Xuanlun has good results, they were all piled up by that fellow Zhu Zhengyan using time and massive resources. They cannot be mentioned in the same breath!"

"Correct!" The Seventh Elder also acknowledged, "Zhu Xuanlun's alchemy, the quality of the pills produced is extremely unstable, fluctuating high and low!"

"But He Ping is different. This fellow started with very low quality, but as he continued to refine, his quality became higher and higher, and higher still. His control over alchemy is simply terrifying!"

"This person not only has an incomparably powerful spiritual sense, but his Dao heart is as firm as a rock!"

"He is fearless in the face of danger. Even when facing that composure of Zhao Xiangdu, to be honest, even this old man feels afraid!"

"But this child's combat power is extremely fierce. If we let ordinary disciples deal with him, I fear they will be unequal to the task!"

"This is troublesome!"

Thirteenth Sister in green said, "Actually, this fourth round is the best opportunity to kill He Ping, because before Zhao Xiangdu died, he once placed a 【Soul-Chaining Curse Talisman】 on him. If we kill his main body, his clones will all disappear along with it!"

"Although the opportunity is excellent, the problem is, He Ping's Dao companion is very worrying; she is too powerful!"

"If she were to attack our Phoenix Clan, I fear..."

Thirteenth Sister stopped mid-sentence.

She knew that the Phoenix Clan had no Mahayana Emperor Realm expert who could be a match for Seeing Qiao Huizhu.

As for Loose Immortals?

Loose Immortals cannot take action under normal circumstances.

"There is no need to worry about this!" The Seventh Elder said, "I have already received news that Seeing Qiao Huizhu ascended to the Immortal Realm from the Ascension Platform at Mount Tianwang two days ago!"

"What?" Thirteenth Sister said, "She actually ascended?"

"That is excellent. In that case, killing He Ping will be without any further concerns!"

"Actually, we have also conducted an investigation into He Ping!" The white-haired elder of the Phoenix Clan said, "This investigation began long before the hundred-year Dao comprehension!"

"This person is indeed heaven-defying, but according to the situation we investigated, his level of combat power is indeed stronger than ordinary prodigies, but it is not of that heaven-defying combat power level. However, his defensive and escape capabilities far exceed those of ordinary prodigies!"

"There are mainly two points!"

"First, he has a blood-colored turtle shell in his possession. I don't know what tier it is, but it is exceptionally tough. The reason he was able to withstand thirty percent of Zhao Xiangdu's attack power back then was mainly due to this thing!"

The Emperors nodded.

They had seen it back then as well.

"Second, He Ping has a divine ability that allows for instantaneous movement, moving ten thousand zhang away in an instant. Moreover, this divine ability seems to have very strong spatial rules; even Tian Jin Peng of the Body Integration Stage could do nothing about him!"

"Therefore, to get rid of He Ping, we must break through these two points!"

"The first is simple!" The Seventh Elder said, "We can change the rules of this trial, so that everyone entering it cannot use magic tools, and they are not even allowed to bring any magic treasures inside!"

"In this way, He Ping's turtle shell naturally cannot be brought in!"

"As for this second point!" The Seventh Elder thought for a moment and said, "It is also simple... Demon Emperor Kongkong understands the Dao of Space the best. He has an Emperor Weapon in his possession that can seal the void. We can have someone secretly bring this Emperor Weapon inside and, at the critical moment, seal He Ping's teleportation divine ability!"

"Then, with dozens of prodigies surrounding him, I don't believe He Ping can still survive?"

"Good... let's do it!"

On the other side!

In He Ping's temporary Dao field.

Nan Qiqi said with a bitter expression, "I'm sorry, Daoist He, for bringing you trouble. If it weren't for your witty resolution, we would have really been finished this time!"

What Nan Qiqi was referring to, naturally, was the matter of giving He Ping a drop of 【Nanke Immortal Spring】 to let her cheat.

Fortunately, He Ping did not use it.

"It's nothing!" He Ping smiled, "That drop of Nanke Immortal Spring is useful to me, so I won't return it to you..."

"That is natural!" Nan Qiqi said, "Since it was gifted to you, naturally I won't take it back!"

"Next, let's talk about the fourth round!" ===== CHAPTER 786 =====
