Chapter 127: The Princess Invited Me to Take a Hot Spring Bath The battle is not over yet. Tao Tie smashed a deep pit on the surface of the arena. The compass light and shadow in the air, relying on the devouring and transformation of the Taotie Dharma image, gave rise to the phantom of a premature baby version of the Vermillion Bird. The Five Elements Divine Pestle is fixed in the center of the compass's light and shadow, using its five elements as a transit point to help the eight trigrams reverse into the four images. Although the five colors of light, blue, yellow, red, black and white, are faint and tiny, they objectively illuminate the secret realm that is crumbling and collapsing. In the deep pit of the arena, Tao Tie's five fingers of his left hand moved slightly, and the electric current jumped with a crackling sound. In the air, the five-colored light of the Five Elements Divine Pestle shot straight up into the sky. Rumble. With the five-colored light as the guide, [Mastering the Five Thunders] roars. The sky and the earth changed color, and endless thunder and lightning descended fiercely, striking Yang Tianci, who had eliminated the recoil force generated by the collision between fist and sword, adjusted his posture, and was about to punch again.
The speed of light and lightning is much faster than that of sound. When the rumbling sound was heard, Yang Tianci made timely tactical adjustments and tried to dodge away. However, if you can avoid one, two, or three thunderbolts, can you avoid three or five hundred thunderbolts? [Five Elements Great Escape] and [Mastering the Five Thunders] are a perfect match! Yang Tianci knew this, and while dodging, he took advantage of the destructive power caused by the collapse of the secret realm constructed based on the Haoran Weapon: Map of Mountains and Rivers, and crashed head-on into the seemingly endless thunder, in order to eliminate the damage of the thunder and reduce the difficulty of dodging. The endless thunder and the power of the secret realm's collapse and destruction collided head-on with Yang Tianci as he wished. Thunder is the pivot of yin and yang, and the root of all things. It can control life and death. Yin and Yang, life and death are integrated into one, and its operation depends on one heart. Disintegration and destruction is the process from life to death, which is completely compressed into an extremely short and tiny point and then suddenly explodes. The endless thunder bombarded the secret realm with the power of collapse and destruction, stimulating four kinds of energy. A kind of air is extremely black, it is the breath of annihilation. A kind of turbid ash, the poison of resentment. A kind of pure green energy is the budding of vitality. One kind of energy is pure white, which is the power of killing. "Excellent!" Tao Tie, who had already flown out of the deep pit, smiled happily, and his Taotie Dharma image had opened its mouth wide, discarding the extremely black and turbid gray airs, and violently sucking the pure green and pure white airs into its belly. The increasingly dim five-colored light of the Five Elements Divine Pestle squeezed itself to the limit and exploded in a desperate attempt. boom! The pestle exploded into countless pieces. The five-colored light suddenly became brighter for a moment, illuminating the east on the left side of the compass and the west on the right side. The premature Suzaku phantom in the upper south let out a loud cry, while the Black Tortoise phantom in the lower north raised its head and roared. Pure green energy continuously flows from the Taotie Dharma Image through the Five Elements Divine Pestle and is injected into the left east of the compass light and shadow.
Pure white air continuously flows from the Taotie Dharma Image through the Five Elements Divine Pestle and is injected into the right west of the compass light and shadow. Soon, the shadows of a premature blue dragon cub and a premature white tiger cub were born at the same time. The four symbols are complete and the five elements are rotating. The countless pieces that exploded returned to their original positions and reunited into a pestle. The secret realm completely collapsed. The thunder stopped here. Tao Tieren has flown to the same level as Yang Tianci. "I have a sword, please judge it, friend Yang." With his left hand behind his back and his right hand pointed like a sword and raised diagonally in front of his chest, Tao Tie had blood at the corner of his mouth and was smiling brightly. "please!" Yang Tianci and Tao Tie looked at each other and replied with a faint smile. The one hundred and seventy talented people who were passively involved in the fight between the two men had now flown back to the south shed and landed in their original positions. It's not that they can come when summoned and leave when dismissed. Instead, the words of Li Huizu, the Left Vice Minister of Rites, were no longer distorted by Yang Tianci. The battle on the ring can only be one-on-one. The one hundred and seventy talented geniuses, no matter if they dislike Tao Tie, or dislike Yang Tianci, or dislike both of them, if they want to fight with them separately, they must wait for the battle between the two to be decided before going up to the ring to challenge the winner. "cut!" Tao Tie did not delay. He shouted softly and swung his sword down. This sword is the Taiyi Sword, the sword that determines the life and death of all things. It is essentially no different from the sword that killed those talented people before. It just condenses the five elements and four symbols on it, and its power is doubled! Yang Tianci is not a man of wood. It is impossible for him not to dodge or fight back and let Tao Tie cut him with the sword. When he said "please", he had already taken out a strong bow and a hard arrow, bent the bow, put the arrow on it, and pulled the string to the full moon. He released his three fingers from the bowstring and said softly, "A gentleman has nothing to fight for, so he must shoot!" The arrow carrying the virtues of a gentleman and the principle of keeping one's word collides with the sword that condenses the five elements and four symbols. The tip of the sword meets the tip of the arrow. Apart from a small, faint dinging sound, no other unusual phenomena occurred. The space seemed to freeze. The sword and arrow were in a stalemate.
Tao Tie smiled, and Yang Tianci retreated rapidly. Before the Four Symbols were formed, Yang Tianci had already lost the confidence of defeating Tao Tie in a one-on-one face-off on the ring, and this was even more so now. The sword and arrow were in a stalemate, but the sword energy broke through the arrow wind, pierced through the space, and pierced the center of Yang Tianci's eyebrows. Suddenly, Yang Tianci circled the ring three times, but still couldn't get rid of the sword energy that was half a finger away from his forehead. "I lost." Yang Tianci simply surrendered and left the ring. "Concession." Tao Tie put away his sword energy and bowed to Yang Tianci, "Thank you very much." Yang Tianci bowed back and said calmly: "You're welcome. A gentleman should help others achieve their goals." What the two were talking about this time was that Tao Tie took advantage of the one-time collapse of a secret realm to give birth to the three elephants of Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon and White Tiger one after another. As the owner of the Haoran Weapon: Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the founder of the one-time secret realm, Yang Tianci can easily interfere with the devouring and transformation of the Taotie Dharma Image. Only he didn't do that. Just as he said, a gentleman helps others to achieve their goals. "Thank you." Tao Tie did not take it for granted and bowed solemnly again. After thinking about it, he felt that empty thanks were meaningless, so he simply took out the millstone-sized thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from his storage bag and sent it to Yang Tianci: "This is a gift from me. It should be helpful for your recovery. Please accept it." The action of taking it out was very smooth, and the action of giving it out was a slight pause, which was not very noticeable and was quickly covered up. But who is Yang Tianci? As the first on the Hidden Dragon List and the person who has the greatest hope of winning the first place in the next spring examination, Yang Tianci can forcibly restrain and drive one hundred and sixty talented geniuses to besiege Tao Tie. His eyesight must be good. He immediately noticed Tao Tie's pause. In fact, Yang Tianci was not the only one who noticed this pause. Even the Seventh Prince discovered this. "sister." The Seventh Prince stared at the Sixth Princess with his innocent eyes and asked doubtfully, "Is he reluctant to let her go?" "Ah." The Sixth Princess nodded. "That……" The Seventh Prince hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Is he the kind of person you mentioned who is pretending to be rich?"
"It doesn't count!" The Sixth Princess looked into the Seventh Prince's eyes and said seriously, "Dong'er, remember, the more reluctant you are to give, the more you are willing to give. That's what we call willingness. Big sister didn't make a mistake in choosing this person. This person deserves our attention." "is it?" The Seventh Prince scratched his head, not quite understanding. After all, he claimed to the public that he was under 18 years old, but in fact he was under 14 years old, only 12 years old in terms of age, and had just celebrated his tenth birthday not long ago. And she was well protected by the Sixth Princess, so it was not yet time for her to fully understand this statement. The fifth prince's eyes lit up and he had an idea. Pan Ran's main job was a guest, and he also worked part-time as a think tank and strategist. When he saw this scene, he took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, I understand." The eunuch Wang Jin, who was standing behind Dardiao Yanli, was originally hesitating about what kind of gift he should prepare for the old ancestor to give to this little sword fairy, but now he doesn't have to worry about it. I think the little sword fairy shouldn't hate this thing. "Poor guy!" The third prince snorted, his words were full of disdain, but his tone was very indifferent. The Fourth Prince had a blank look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking. In the arena. Yang Tianci was recalling the Haoran weapon: the Mountain and River Map at this time. He wanted to reject Tao Tie's kindness, but after a moment of contemplation, he took the Lingzhi with a smile and said, "I won't be polite with you." After saying that, he turned and walked back to the south shed. Walk step by step, very slowly. Is it possible to restrain and drive one hundred and seventy talented people of the same level without cost? Is it an easy task to actively collapse a one-time secret realm? Yang Tianci's soul was seriously injured, and his literary mind was also slightly unwell, so he needed to recuperate. This thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum really works. Tao Tie was in good condition at the moment. He stood on the stage with a big hole in it, waiting for the next challenger to come on stage. The talented and brilliant people did not let Tao Tie wait long. They came up to challenge him one after another, and were beaten back one after another. Those outside the top fifteen on the Hidden Dragon List all need one breath of sword and one breath of time. For the top fifteen, two or three swords are required, never more than three swords. However, this also reflects that Tao Tie's One Breath Sword has not yet been fully practiced. After all, the Taiyi Fenguang Sword was forged as one and stopped at the Four Symbols. Later, the four symbols need to be nurtured, and then the two symbols need to be reversed to form Tai Chi. This process is also closely integrated with the practice of refining the spirit and returning to the void, promoting and enhancing each other. The transformation of the Yin Spirit into the Yang Spirit during the spirit refining corresponds to the reverse deduction of the two yin and yang from the four symbols. The two yin and yang combine to form Tai Chi, which corresponds to returning to emptiness.
At this point, the Taiyi Soul Refining Technique and the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword have become a one-and-two, two-and-one relationship. This time, taking advantage of the competition, I acted a little recklessly, but I gained a lot. Firstly, he had fulfilled his senior sister's "expectation", which was enough to make Little Sword Immortal famous throughout the capital, and saved him from being slaughtered by his senior sister for another 16,384 times; Secondly, he further forged the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword as he wished, giving rise to the Four Symbols; Thirdly, the progress of the Yin God's transformation into the Yang God has been slightly improved. However, the gains basically belonged to Tao Tie. The 170 talented geniuses gained nothing except a little bit of theory. Even the viewing experience wasn’t very good. The singles competition can be declared over before the beginning of the Chen hour. However, rules are rules. Even if the individual competition ends early, the group competition will not start until the afternoon. Tao Tie, who was confirmed as the winner of the individual competition, walked down the stage and was about to go back to the south shed when he was called over by Li Huizu, the Left Vice Minister of Rites. "Do you know why I called you here?" Tao Tie entered the shed where Li Huizu and Li Shi were, and was immediately greeted by Li Huizu's question. "I don't know. Please tell me, sir." Tao Tie bowed and answered without trying to be clever and guess. Li Huizu didn't keep the secret and said directly: "You don't need to participate in the group match this afternoon." "Humph!" The big diao dangli snorted and said sharply, "What does Minister Li mean by this?" Li Huizu ignored Li Shi and just looked at Tao Tie and asked in a deep voice, "Do you understand?" "I understand." Tao Tie bowed and answered. "If you understand, leave now. Don't stay here." Li Huizu waved his hand and said in an inexplicable tone, "The name Woweifeng is not good. I think Wuweifeng is more appropriate. Go back and think about it carefully." "Yes." Tao Tie bowed to Li Huizu and Li Shi, who were at the top of his group, then stepped out of the shed and walked down the mountain leisurely under the slightly puzzled gazes of the 170 talented and brilliant people. Not long after, Yang Tianci was also called over by Li Huizu, who said a few words to him and drove him down the mountain, not allowing him to participate in the afternoon group competition. There were still more than two hours before the group stage began, and Li Huizu did not waste it. He temporarily asked the remaining twenty talented people in the capital to select three places for the afternoon competition. If there are disputes in the states and they cannot decide on a candidate, the same thing will happen. This is exactly what Li Huizu meant by being able to make adjustments. After all, the start time and duration of the individual and group competitions were all determined with the consent of the current emperor. Without the approval of the current emperor, Li Huizu would not even mention moving the group matches forward to the morning. Disaster comes from the mouth.
If Li Huizu dared to say a word, Li Shi would grab him and bite off a piece of his flesh. The officialdom is so sinister. One wrong step could lead to you falling into an abyss. Didn't Li Huizu seize on Li's minor mistake and refused to give in, escalating the issue to a greater extent than before, and eventually stepped on Li's face to get promoted to a high position? On the other side, on the way down the mountain, Yang Tianci took a few quick steps and caught up with Tao Tie in front of him. "Is something wrong?" Tao Tie slowed down his pace a little, took care of Yang Tianci, whose soul was injured and whose movements were somewhat restricted, and asked. "The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Prince asked me to bring you a message." Yang Tianci went straight to the point and stated his intention directly. The mother of the sixth princess and the seventh prince was a sister of the mother of the third prince, and both were from the Hongnong Yang family. In terms of blood relationship, Yang Tianci's father is the elder brother of the third prince's mother and the half brother of the sixth princess and the seventh prince's mother. Logically speaking, Yang Tianci's father and Yang Tianci should be closer to the third prince and his mother. The reality is quite the opposite. "What?" Tao Tie had heard these things from Qiu Wanru, but he was too lazy to care about the disputes between these big families. Yang Tianci said slowly: "The Sixth Princess and the Seventh Prince would like to invite Fairy Nihuang, Fairy Wanru and Taoist Friend Tao to go to Yuquan Mountain to soak in the hot springs. The time will be decided by Fairy Nihuang, Fairy Wanru and Taoist Friend Tao, but it would be best if it is before the lecture begins." Five days later, the special training for these talented geniuses officially began. In other words, the eldest princess who was under house arrest in Yuquan Mountain hoped to meet with Dao Xiaofeng and Tao Tie before that. "I have to go back and discuss it with my senior sister before I can give you an answer." "It's natural." "Slow down, I'm leaving first." "Goodbye." After finishing his business, Tao Tie resumed his normal speed and went down the dirt hill. Yang Tianci walked down step by step at his own pace, introspecting as he walked. From childhood to adulthood, today was the first time he lost to someone his own age. If you lose, you lose. There is no excuse. But don't be arrogant when you win, and don't be discouraged when you lose. After losing, you have to review the game and find out why you lost so as to avoid losing again next time. In fact, Yang Tianci had found the reason before going down the mountain.
Now introspection is just to find out the gaps and fill them. After a moment, Tao Tie's back disappeared from Yang Tianci's sight. Yang Tianci ended his introspection, stopped, and looked up at the bright sun in the sky. Tao Tie concentrated on his sword, and everything was laid out in the open. Since Yang Tianci has transformed into the sun and set the rules, why should he hide it? The big sun is the big sun, hanging brightly in the sky. To conceal one's intention is to lack courage. How to be undefeated? The loser reviewed the game and reflected on himself, while the winner took the ring road to the eastern suburbs and returned to the villa. Both senior sisters Dao Xiaofeng and Qiu Wanru were there, leisurely sipping tea and eating snacks. "Hey! Our little sword fairy is back!" As soon as she saw Tao Tie, Dao Xiaofeng immediately put down her teacup and teased him sarcastically, "Little Sword Immortal, it's a waste of time to fight them one by one. Next time, I will fight you together, Senior Sister Wanru?" Tao Tie didn't know what medicine Sister Dao had taken that made her so angry, so he changed the subject and said with his hands on his hips: "The princess invited me to the hot springs and said I could bring two followers." "Are you going or not?" (End of this chapter)
