Chapter 98: The Dao of Taiji! Laozi is Dumbfounded! Zhunti's Sudden Attack!

The Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

Di Jun watched as Lu Yun once again triggered the Heavenly Dao to bestow merit, his expression growing increasingly gloomy.

This was because it reminded him, time and again, of how his plans had been suddenly interrupted by Lu Yun outside the Lunar Star previously.

Although he knew that Lu Yun likely did not intend to interrupt him, it was precisely for this reason that he felt even more infuriated.

Yet, he could do nothing to Lu Yun now; even though he foresaw that Lu Yun would become even harder to deal with after obtaining more merit, he could only watch helplessly as Lu Yun continued to preach the Dao.

Taiyi glanced at Di Jun and sighed inwardly.

He deeply understood how Di Jun felt at this moment, but he felt utterly helpless in his heart.

Who could have imagined that there would be such an uncanny existence as Lu Yun in this Great Desolation? Fortunately, judging from the influence relayed back by Baize, he could see that Saints like Laozi and Yuanshi also seemed to have no solution for that Lu Yun, which made him feel much better.

If he had known this Human Race was so uncanny, he should not have acted rashly before! It was also that Guiche's fault for providing such misleading information back then! Saying that the Human Race was a scheme of the Wu Clan! But now, the more Taiyi looked, the more he felt that the Wu Clan could never have taught such an uncanny human! Now that the two sides had become enemies and the conflict was deepening, they were stuck in a situation where they could neither advance nor retreat! The more Taiyi thought about it, the more his head ached, and he could only continue to watch.

Afterwards, under the gaze of both Di Jun and Taiyi, Lu Yun finished demonstrating the "Five Thunder Xingyi Fist" and began to demonstrate other martial arts.

"Heart of the Saint Technique" and "Xuanwu True Art"! Under his demonstration, these two martial arts displayed astonishing power.

Especially since the tribulation lightning continued to fall during his demonstration, it even gave people the illusion that the martial arts he was teaching could contend with the Extinction Divine Thunder!

And while Lu Yun was demonstrating the martial arts, the Merit Golden Cloud above the firmament continued to expand, truly showing a trend of gradually covering up the Tribulation Cloud!

……

"Ding! The host has followed the advice, reward: one Rare Treasure Chest!"

Another task completed! Lu Yun felt a surge of joy, but he did not stop there; instead, he said aloud once more: "Next, the fourth martial art I will demonstrate to everyone is a fist technique created from the realization of the Yin-Yang Dao, named 'Taiji Fist'!"

His voice reached the Human Race tribes across the Great Desolation once again.

Laozi: "..."

So, this was the martial art related to him that he mentioned just now? Lu Yun had completely entered the state of preaching and teaching, so he did not pay attention to the reactions of Laozi and the others in the Zhushan Tribe and began to demonstrate the "Taiji Fist" directly.

Once he finished demonstrating the "Taiji Fist," the system prompt sounded in his mind again: "Ding! The host has followed the advice, reward: one Rare Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun felt a surge of joy.

That made two Fine Treasure Chests! However, he still did not stop preaching.

Because just now, while practicing the "Taiji Fist," he had suddenly gained insight into a "Taiji Sword Technique"! He took this opportunity to pass it on to the Human Race to further expand the gains of this preaching! Thus, he said aloud: "Just now, while I was demonstrating the 'Taiji Fist,' a sudden realization came to my heart, and I comprehended a set of 'Taiji Sword Technique'; I shall now pass it on to the Human Race together!"

As his voice fell, the sounds of countless humans expressing their gratitude and bowing in the Zhushan Tribe echoed.

Laozi: "..."

The "Taiji Fist" that Lu Yun had just displayed had indeed opened his eyes.

Who would have thought that it was not enough for Lu Yun to pass down a set of "Taiji Fist," but there was also a "Taiji Sword Technique"? At this moment, Laozi even felt a sense of humiliation! Because when Taiji was mentioned, almost every powerful being in the Great Desolation would think of him.

Yet he had never thought that the Yin-Yang Taiji Dao could be presented in such a way, becoming a method that the Human Race could cultivate!

If he had thought of it, would he have waited for Lu Yun to come and preach to the Human Race now? Unfortunately, no matter what he felt now, it could not hinder Lu Yun from continuing to preach.

"Swish!"

Lu Yun raised the Tai'e Sword and began to demonstrate the "Taiji Sword Technique" he had created! With his current comprehension, the "Taiji Sword Technique" he comprehended was certainly different from the one existing in the Points Mall, but its power was even greater! The Tai'e Sword in his hand, after being tempered time and again, had now evolved into the ranks of a Medium-Grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasure, and as he swung it through his moves, it displayed astonishing might! Lu Yun presented the sword moves one by one.

But as he practiced the moves, he actually gained new insights, and during the demonstration, he even began to comprehend the "Great Yin-Yang Art" he had just acquired.

Thus, his understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao deepened rapidly, and he inadvertently integrated it into the "Taiji Sword Technique."

The "Taiji Sword Technique" he originally intended to teach was only a martial art of the same level as the "Taiji Fist," which could only be cultivated to the Refining Spirit into Void stage.

But as he integrated the "Great Yin-Yang Art" into it, the power of the second round of the "Taiji Sword Technique" doubled directly, and by the third round, it doubled again...

Unknowingly, the "Taiji Sword Technique" had been changed by Lu Yun into a martial art that could lead to immortality! Seeing this scene, everyone in the Transmigration Chat Group was dumbfounded.

Zhou Yu: "Damn, is the power of the 'Taiji Sword Technique' this fierce?"

Fang Xu: "I'm sure the one in the Points Mall definitely isn't this powerful!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Look, everyone, Lu Yun seems to have entered the state of Dao-comprehension again!"

Liu Chongxiao: "Hiss! Could it be that he triggered an epiphany while demonstrating just now, and thus comprehended a higher level of 'Taiji Sword Technique'?"

Ling Yan: "That's very likely! I've been analyzing why Lu Yun grows faster than other newcomers; it turns out it's because his comprehension is extraordinary!"

Lin Chen: "Indeed! If Lu Yun didn't have enough comprehension, he would never have been able to complete the suggestions everyone gave him before!"

……

Lin Yan: "Heart-wrenching! It turns out the gap between us and Lu Yun is that our brains aren't as good as his!"

Qiu Wanli: "You guys should just be happy! Don't tell me you didn't take the opportunity to learn while Lu Yun was preaching this time!"

Chen Hai: "Hehe, caught! I did indeed take the opportunity to learn some things; I'm truly grateful to Lu Yun!"

Ming Xi: "I knew it, watching this live stream was not in vain!"

Fang Wenjie: "Thanks to Lu Yun +10086!"

……

Lu Yun did not pay attention to the discussion among the group members.

He was completely immersed in the "Great Yin-Yang Art," integrating his insights into the Taiji Fist as he presented it.

And the humans of the Great Desolation thought that the "Taiji Sword Technique" was inherently this profound, assuming that Lu Yun's first demonstration was just the basics, and the subsequent demonstrations were getting deeper and deeper.

They tried their best to learn, but gradually, more and more humans could not keep up with Lu Yun's rhythm, feeling it was extremely profound and even finding it difficult to remember what Lu Yun was demonstrating.

Because later on, the fist technique Lu Yun demonstrated had already touched upon the level of laws; how could the current humans of the Great Desolation comprehend that?

The Twelve Ancestral Witches and several Saints naturally saw Lu Yun's state as well, and they completely believed in their hearts that Lu Yun truly had Heaven-Defying Comprehension!

Nuwa was overjoyed in her heart: It seems I was indeed overthinking before; all the Supernatural Powers and techniques on Lu Yun are not someone's scheme, but what he comprehended himself!

She even found it hard to believe that such a genius could be born among the Human Race she had created! Meanwhile, Duobao, Xuandu, and the others looked at each other in dismay.

It was hard to believe that while undergoing the Golden Immortal Tribulation, one could not only preach the Dao but also comprehend the Dao! What kind of terrifying comprehension was this? They suddenly felt that what Lu Yun said before—that he could rely on himself to prove the Dao—might not be bragging at all, but the absolute truth! What made them even more unable to accept was that while Lu Yun was demonstrating the fist technique, the techniques within his body were still running, and the "Great Devouring Art" had become even more powerful because the "Great Yin-Yang Art" was being cast simultaneously. "Boom—"

Rolling tribulation lightning continued to fall toward Lu Yun, but it was easily neutralized by Lu Yun with the Taiji Sword Technique and then digested and absorbed by him!

The Sun Star Banner beside him was also still continuously providing him with solar power.

Vast amounts of energy were continuously drawn into Lu Yun's body, becoming his own magic power and allowing him to keep growing stronger!

And the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood behind him had now grown to a height of over a thousand meters, directly shrouding the entire mountain beneath Lu Yun's feet!

Just at this moment—

"Hum!"

A streak of flowing light suddenly flew over rapidly from the west.

Everyone could not help but turn their heads to look, and were shocked to see a chubby Daoist appear near the mountain peak where Lu Yun was undergoing Tribulation Transcendence.

He did not enter the area covered by the Tribulation Cloud, but instead stood at the edge of the cloud's range, looking at Lu Yun, who was undergoing the tribulation atop the peak, with a face full of shock.

"Zhunti?"

Nuwa could not help but knit her brows, her face revealing a look of confusion, "What is he here for?"

The gazes of the others also fell in unison upon Zhunti Daoren.

Baize, who had been unable to think of a countermeasure, could not help but feel a surge of joy in his heart upon seeing such a sudden turn of events.

He looked at Zhunti full of anticipation, hoping that this Saint would suddenly make a move against Lu Yun and directly eliminate this major threat to the Demon Race!

Unfortunately, Baize was disappointed very quickly.

Because he actually saw Zhunti reveal a kind smile and say loudly to Lu Yun: "You Human Race member, your aptitude is not bad; are you willing to join my sect under Zhunti and become a disciple of a Saint?"

This Zhunti was actually here to take on a disciple! Such a turn of events was truly unexpected for everyone.

But immediately after, many people began to knit their brows one after another.

For example, Nuwa!

Her expression was somewhat unsightly.

Lu Yun was her Human Race prodigy; even if he were to join a Saint's sect, he should be taking her as his master.

Tongtian was likewise somewhat displeased.

Because he felt that Zhunti was overstepping his bounds!

He was clearly a person from the west, yet he had run over to the east to take on a disciple, and he was doing it right in front of them, the several Saints of the east!

This was completely disregarding the Saints of the east!

At this thought, the several Saints moved almost instantly, rushing toward where Zhunti was.

Seeing this, the twelve Ancestral Witches naturally also acted decisively and likewise rushed toward Zhunti!

Fuxi was a step slower in his movements, but he also flew rapidly out of the Zhushan Tribe.

Baize followed behind Fuxi, his eyes flickering.

According to the current situation, there was no longer any problem with Lu Yun passing the Golden Immortal Tribulation!

For him to take back the Sun Star Banner, unless these Saints could start fighting and cause chaos, or even have someone make a move on Lu Yun! Baize pondered in his heart: As a last resort, perhaps I can only find a way to destroy the Sun Star Banner and then go back to refine it again!

At least that way, their Demon Race could still preserve the secret of the Zhou Tian Star Formation!...

In the air.

Zhunti stared straight at Lu Yun, only to find that Lu Yun was actually turning a deaf ear to his words! Zhunti's expression could not help but sink, and just as he was about to say something more, he sensed several powerful auras locking onto him, causing his heart to shake violently! "What a pity!"

Zhunti sighed inwardly.

Clearly, he knew that Laozi and the others were nearby.

Yet he had pretended not to know just now, all for the sake of catching them off guard and testing whether he could bring Lu Yun into the Western Sect.

After all, if Lu Yun could join the Western Sect, the monstrous merit on him would count as belonging to the Western Sect, which would be an enormous bargain! What's more, Lu Yun had Heaven-Defying Comprehension, and with cultivation, he could become a powerhouse capable of standing alone for the Western Sect! It was a pity that he had not expected Lu Yun to show him so little respect.

At this time, he stopped his train of thought and scanned his surroundings, seeing that he had already been surrounded by Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones, and the twelve Ancestral Witches.

With such a grand formation, even Zhunti felt his scalp go a bit numb.

However, he still feigned a look of surprise and looked at Nuwa and the others, saying: "Oh, are you fellow Daoists also here? This poor Daoist greets you!"

As for the twelve Ancestral Witches, he prided himself on being a Saint and ignored them.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa all had dark expressions, and the same thought surfaced in their hearts: This Zhunti is as shameless as ever! Nuwa immediately said in a deep voice: "Zhunti, what is your purpose in suddenly coming here?"

Zhunti said with a chuckle: "This poor Daoist was traveling through the Great Desolation and suddenly perceived a living being undergoing tribulation here who has an affinity with my Western Sect, so I came specifically to take on a disciple."

Hearing such shameless words, Nuwa's expression became even uglier.

She said coldly: "The person undergoing the tribulation is a prodigy of my Human Race and has nothing to do with your west; stop coveting him and go back!"

Zhunti was unwilling to give up just like that and said: "Fellow Daoist Nuwa, although you are the Holy Mother of the Human Race, you cannot forcibly interfere with the Human Race's choice of master, can you? Why not listen to the opinion of this Human Race member himself?"

Nuwa knit her brows and was just about to say something more, but it happened that at this very instant—

"Hum!"

Lu Yun's aura shook violently, and his cultivation broke through once again, actually reaching the Dark Star Peak at this moment!

Equivalent to the perfection of the Golden Immortal stage in the Primordial World! And his Golden Immortal Tribulation also came to a complete end at this time, and the monstrous Merit Golden Cloud in the air descended directly at this very instant!

Zhunti looked at the brilliant Merit Golden Light, his eyes turning green.

Unfortunately, even a Saint like him could not snatch Heavenly Dao Merit.

Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as the majority of the Merit Golden Light fell onto Lu Yun, while a small portion split into three parts and fell respectively onto Nuwa, Suiren, and the Tai'e Sword and Merit Golden Character in Lu Yun's possession.

Clearly, because Nuwa, Suiren, the Tai'e Sword, and the Merit Golden Character had all contributed when Lu Yun was preaching just now, they had also received rewards from the Heavenly Dao! (End of chapter)
