Chapter 9
: Establishing Great Merit in the Great Dao of Heaven, Divine Thunder Shocks the World
call--
As soon as Jin Guangxian said this, the entire Jade Void Palace fell silent; no one dared to speak.
The many Shangqing cultivators who had been secretly discussing the matter realized that things had changed, so they immediately shut their mouths and stopped talking, for fear of getting into trouble.
Even Bixiao, who had some grudge against Guangchengzi, kept her mouth tightly shut and her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she were pondering some profound truth. She completely withdrew her consciousness and seemed not to have heard anything.
It's not that they're all cowards; even when Jin Guangxian charged forward, they didn't dare utter a single word.
If Guang Chengzi were to first humiliate the Shangqing lineage, they would naturally not let him off the hook, even at the risk of being punished by Yuanshi Tianzun, they would teach him a lesson.
But now, for many members of the Shangqing Sect, the other party is a stranger, with no favors or grudges against them, so why should they share the same hatred with Jin Guangxian?
On the contrary, some members of the Shangqing sect were secretly annoyed that Jin Guangxian had spoken without thinking, offended people recklessly, and unjustly antagonized his senior brother.
On the contrary, the three celestial beings above did not say anything. They remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
It was unclear how much time had passed, long enough for Jin Guangxian to recover from his initial anger and become filled with trepidation, wondering what the three Heavenly Venerables were thinking. Only then did he hear Yuanshi Tianzun calmly say, "Alright."
These words were like opening a floodgate, and some people finally dared to speak up, but they did so in hushed tones, not daring to raise their voices, clearly sensing that they had noticed something.
Upon hearing that his master had given his permission, Guang Chengzi stood up, but ignored Jin Guangxian and bowed, saying, "Master, this is your sacred place. I dare not cause any trouble. Please find a secluded place so as not to harm any of the many living beings."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, flicked his sleeve, and an inexplicable great power completely enveloped all the immortals present. After a moment, the power dissipated, and Guang Chengzi found himself on a cliff.
Standing before him was a bewildered Jin Guangxian, while the Three Pure Ones and many Shangqing disciples stood far away on a wisp of cloud in the sky, clearly observing from the sidelines.
"Both of you are from my Kunlun Mountains. Even if you wish to spar, you must not kill each other. Stop when you have made your point, and you are not allowed to use any magical treasures. Do you understand?"
Tongtian said in a solemn voice, his tone carrying an undeniable air of refusal, clearly leaving no room for negotiation. Guangchengzi and Jin Guangxian naturally agreed.
Many Shangqing disciples watched the scene with a hint of nervousness. After all, although Guang Chengzi had just entered the sect and had not yet learned the Yuqing Immortal Techniques, he was still a member of the Yuxu Palace.
This battle marked the first contact between Yuxu Palace and Biyou Palace, and it was of great significance to them, representing the ideological struggle between the followers of the two mountain lords.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun did not think of this, nor did they think that this ordinary competition could represent anything, many Shangqing disciples already believed that they could only succeed and could not fail.
Moreover, Guang Chengzi has only been a disciple for less than a day, and Tongtian forbids the two of them from using any external magical treasures. If Jin Guangxian still can't win, then he's just too useless.
Jin Guangxian thought the same way. Looking at Guang Chengzi, whose cultivation was comparable to his, he recovered from his initial fear and felt a little disdain. As a result, his attitude became more casual.
"Senior Brother Guangchengzi, I became your disciple quite early. To prevent others from saying that I am bullying the younger one, why don't you make the first move?"
Jin Guangxian said lazily, exuding a relaxed atmosphere. If he could use a spiritual treasure, he naturally wouldn't have said that, since he knew the other party had a high-grade spiritual treasure palace lamp.
Since neither side could use any external objects, he didn't mind showing off his magnanimity.
Faced with this suicidal suggestion, Guang Chengzi naturally had to accept it with a smile.
"Since Junior Brother Jin Guangxian thinks so, then I won't stand on ceremony any longer," Guang Chengzi said with a smile.
Then he let out a long roar, and the spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles began to swirl inexplicably, as if an angle had been artificially created, forcing the spiritual energy to flow into this place from top to bottom like a river.
This action was so effortless, without any human intervention, as if it happened naturally.
But this seemingly ordinary appearance caused many Shangqing disciples to change their expressions drastically, because they could see the methods of Yuanshi Tianzun from this move.
To follow the will of Heaven, to act in accordance with Heaven's will, and to use one's human body to embody the Way of Heaven—this is the Way of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.
When the Three Pure Ones went to Mount Buzhou to exterminate the Wu tribe, many disciples of the Shangqing Sect naturally followed them and were fortunate enough to witness the supreme abilities of these three Heavenly Venerables.
The most eye-catching of them all is undoubtedly the Great Dao of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; with just a thought, the Heavenly Dao responds, the primordial world echoes, and all the myriad paths follow.
The several ancestral witches they faced were ground to dust before they could even get close, and all the resurrection methods they had left behind became ineffective. It is unknown how many tens of thousands of years passed before they returned.
As for the witch tribes left behind by these ancestral witches, they all died at the hands of the Primordial Heavenly Lord, their blood flowing like rivers, their murderous aura soaring to the heavens, terrifying all races into silence.
Such an incredible event naturally filled the hearts of these Shangqing disciples with fear and unease, fearing that they might displease the Primordial Celestial Venerable and suffer the same fate.
But now, Guang Chengzi has only been a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun for less than a day, yet he can already use such earth-shattering techniques, which naturally makes them even more terrified.
Yuanshi Tianzun smiled upon seeing this, quite pleased with Guangchengzi's behavior.
Laozi said, "The disciple that my second brother has taken in is quite good. He has only pondered the Jade Void Treasure Box a few times, yet he has already comprehended the True Meaning of the Heavenly Elucidation. He is truly destined to be with the Jade Void Palace."
Although Yuanshi Tianzun was pleased with himself, he still humbly said, "It's just a trivial trick. He's showing it off to amuse everyone. He's just ignorant of his own limitations."
The two of them chatted and laughed, carrying each other in a sedan chair, while Tongtian had nothing to say.
After all, Guang Chengzi had already reached a high level of understanding of the Great Dao of Expounding Heaven, and he didn't think his disciple could win this battle.
Although Guang Chengzi did not use the Jade Void Treasure Box, he had exceptional comprehension and, by pondering the true meaning of the box, he mastered several techniques of the Elucidating Heavenly Truth Method without a teacher.
Now, he wanted to test the power of this method, so he had the idea of gathering spiritual energy. He never expected it to be so powerful, so he directly used the next supernatural power.
"Junior Brother Jin Guangxian, take this attack of mine, Heavenly Thunder!"
Guang Chengzi gave a light shout and flicked his finger slightly, and a bolt of lightning shot out.
