Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant-Chapter 479: True Master’s Divine Power

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone present was shocked beyond belief.

Shen Xuan actually challenged True Master Lu!

The treasures he took out were all Tier Three artifacts.

Especially that water attribute spiritual flying sword, the lifebound sword of Cyan Cloud Sect Sword Cultivator Xiao Jinsong, overflowing with spiritual light, of exceptional grade.

The Sea Dragon King, Sea Defense King, and Chang Sheng Ship Master looked at the spiritual sword with a hint of greed.

"Of course. True Master Lu’s Daoist Technique is profound, Shen is absolutely no match."

"Let’s set a limit of a hundred breaths. If Shen can still stand after a hundred breaths, then True Master Lu loses. How about that?"

Shen Xuan said with a smile.

True Master Lu scanned with his Divine Sense.

The massive pressure of the True Pill True Master was like a towering mountain pressing down on Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan remained calm and unmoved.

Behind him, the slightly recovered Zhuang Xueqin began to cough again under True Master Lu’s pressure, coughing up fresh blood.

Zhuang Xueqin endured and stepped back a bit, covering his mouth, not daring to make a sound.

"Shen Xuan, do you really think achieving Body Refining to the Dharma Realm allows you to oppose me?"

Dharma Realm Body Refining Master!

After True Master Lu revealed Shen Xuan’s hidden cards.

Only then did the Sea Defense King and Chang Sheng Ship Master realize.

The long aware Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign and Sea Dragon King remained unchanged.

Zhuang Xueqin was suddenly frightened, his blood surged, and he began to cough uncontrollably.

Senior Brother Shen is a Dharma Realm Body Refining Master!

This news shocked his brain into chaos.

He had never heard of it while at the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Looking again at the spiritual flying sword on the deck, it seemed somewhat familiar.

Very similar to the flying sword treasure of Spirit Sword Peak’s Battle Hall disciples.

"So, was the Battle Hall Vice Hall Master Xiao Jinsong killed by Senior Brother Shen?"

This speculation made Zhuang Xueqin tremble all over in fear.

Xiao Jinsong was a Sword Cultivator of Spirit Sword Peak, Vice Hall Master of the Battle Hall, known as the Cyan Cloud Sect’s number one Fake Pill human.

His demise was twelve years ago.

Now, Senior Brother Shen’s strength is even more unfathomable.

True Master Lu’s real target is Senior Brother Shen.

He himself is just a jumping jackal.

Shen Xuan maintained his smile: "You won’t know until you fight. Is True Master Lu afraid to accept this bet?"

True Master Lu nodded and said: "Very well. I accept this bet." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Right in front of Shen Xuan, Li Mingjing put the three main materials of the Golden Transformation Pill, Green Water Exquisite Fruit, Six Treasures Heart Protection Pill, all into a new Storage Pouch, and threw it next to the spiritual flying sword.

"What about Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye?"

Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign hesitated.

Looked at True Master Lu.

Then sized up Shen Xuan.

Finally, the Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign said: "I’m just a mere woman, I won’t participate in the bet between you two."

Shen Xuan nodded and said: "Alright, then let’s trade first."

"Good!"

Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign tossed out a blood-colored jade box.

The Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core inside it stirred, faintly emitting a barely audible Demon Dragon’s roar.

Shen Xuan opened it and scanned with his Divine Sense.

A pitch-black, ink-like Demon Beast Inner Core, complex with Dao patterns, was placed inside.

"Just a Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core? Where’s the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood?"

Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign replied irritably: "Just a Demon Flood Dragon Demon Core. The Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood is in the hands of Yin Sha Sect’s Lone Sha Demon Sovereign, who was killed by an unknown cultivator. The whereabouts of the Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood is unknown."

"This..."

Shen Xuan showed a hesitant expression.

Inwardly, completely agreeable.

Appearing agonized outwardly.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, the trade can proceed, take the demon soldier first. The share of Tier Three Demon Flood Dragon Essence Blood owed to me must be replenished within three years."

Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, it’s settled then!"

Fearing Shen Xuan’s change of heart, her figure danced as she took away the magic scissors on the deck.

...

Above Blood Spiral Island, clouds piled heavily.

True Master Lu stood atop the clouds with spiritual lotuses beneath his feet.

His lifebound spiritual artifact, Primordial Spirit Wood Umbrella, was summoned, slowly rotating above his head, protecting his entire body.

Opposing him, Shen Xuan also floated in midair, his blue robe flapping fiercely in the gale.

Both were separated by a hundred zhang.

The air continually crackled from the clash of spiritual pressure.

Choosing the site for magical combat above Blood Spiral Island was clearly advantageous for True Master Lu.

Shen Xuan, a Water Cultivator, would struggle to utilize the vast Water Spiritual Power of the East Sea.

These crafty foxes, even when holding an advantage, wouldn’t take a single loss.

"True Master Lu, please enlighten me."

Shen Xuan clasped his hands and said.

True Master Lu’s strike was swift.​​

Mudra seals formed, he pointed at Shen Xuan, and shouted in a low voice: "Fast!"

Hundreds of God Wood Thorns appeared from thin air, glowing faintly blue, screeching through the air.

Shen Xuan summoned the Ice Soul Divine Sword.

A sword cry echoed.

Sword Qi shot skywards, transforming into countless dark ice fish, directly confronting the God Wood Thorns.

Explosive sounds rang continuously.

Hundreds of God Wood Thorns shattered, frozen by the profound ice cold Qi, fluttering down.

"Thirty breaths!"

From the side, Xuan Ye Demon Sovereign announced the time.

Her voice trembled slightly.

Just by this technique of condensing Qi into ice, Shen Xuan was enough to contend against Fake Pill cultivators.

And this was merely probing between the two.

Far from their full strength.

"Very good. Shen Xuan, just with this ice technique, you can roam freely in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

True Master Lu formed mudra seals with both hands, the Primordial Spirit Wood Umbrella rapidly spinning, emitting countless green spiritual lights, spreading across hundreds of zhang around.

Then, condensing into thirty-six towering trees, countless branches swung like giant pythons, responding and interconnecting with each other.

"Tier Three Array, Green Wood Spirit Locking Array, please give it a try!"

Shen Xuan’s body slightly trembled, his spiritual power became stagnant, slowing by thirty percent.

Moreover, it continued to slow down.

"Tier Three Array?"

"So what!"

A flash of red light appeared in Shen Xuan’s eyes.

[Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique] was fully activated.

His hands continued to form Dharma Seals.

[Insight], [Sharp-eyed], [Smell and Taste], [Ears Listening in All Directions], [Lucky Stars High], [Wealth Attraction], [Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil]...

Shen Xuan roared.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword transformed into a frigid ice dragon, spewing water spirit sword Qi, directly crashing into one of the towering trees.

The exact location of the Green Wood Spirit Locking Array’s life gate.

Shen Xuan’s array formation prowess was only at the second lower grade.

If array formation, his skills were average.

However, coupled with the Illusion-Breaking Spirit Eye Technique, as well as various perception and fortune skills, his proficiency in array breaking is exceedingly high.

Among thirty-six towering trees, he found the life gate at a glance.

With a "boom" sound.

That towering giant tree exploded thunderously.

Shen Xuan’s body emitted arcs of thunderous light.

In the next instant.

Using the Thunder Escape Technique, Shen Xuan appeared outside the Cyan Wood Spirit Locking Array.

Though he was only a few zhang from the edge.

He had still managed to escape the array’s range.

The Sea Dragon King, Ocean-Calming King, and Chang Sheng Ship Master exchanged glances.

The three of them all felt a chill.

Thankfully, they did not engage directly in magical combat with Shen Xuan.

Even now, Shen Xuan hadn’t revealed his dharma aspect, breaking True Master Lu’s hastily set tier three trapping array with just his ice technique cultivation.

Of course, there was some trickery involved.

Shen Xuan is undoubtedly skilled in arrays.

He could find the life gate as the array was first forming and fly out with sword control.

But no matter the means, such combat ability on a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is truly astounding.

"Sixty breaths!"

Demon King Xuan Ye’s voice became sharp.

As if urging.

"Very good!"

True Master Lu extended his hand, and the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella above his head abruptly shrank, landing in his hand.

The umbrella face opened and closed.

The sky turned a verdant blue.

Countless complex runes flew from the umbrella ribs, transforming into sacred wood branches.

In an instant, the whole world was occupied by a towering divine tree.

"Divine Wood covers the heavens!"

Shen Xuan’s view suddenly changed.

He seemed to be in an endless sea of trees.

The veins on each leaf transformed into binding runes.

The spiritual power within Shen Xuan’s body was instantly frozen, unable to circulate.

In his Dantian.

The nine-color treasure lotus struggled to bloom, emitting beams of treasure light, illuminating the Dao Foundation Spirit Sea.

At this moment, the wind suddenly rose.

Countless spirit leaves floated towards Shen Xuan.

Enveloping him layer by layer.

"Ninety breaths!"

Demon King Xuan Ye’s voice carried a hint of delight.

She still hoped True Master Lu would win.

In the air, True Master Lu’s breathing suddenly became heavier.

Even as a True Pill True Master, performing divine powers, his body and divine soul were under considerable strain, his spiritual power was being consumed like the sea.

As the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella rotated, the spirit leaves enveloping Shen Xuan kept squeezing.

However, everyone soon realized something was amiss.

The rotation speed of the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella was slowing.

Fine cracks appeared on the umbrella surface’s spiritual light.

True Master Lu’s breathing sounded like a windmill, growing louder.

"Hundred breaths!"

Demon King Xuan Ye had just announced the time.

True Master Lu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

In his sight, the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella suddenly flew out of his hand.

Shen Xuan, wrapped in hundreds of spirit leaves, burst forth with a golden radiance.

Quickly breaking through the spirit leaf confinement, transforming into countless golden rays.

"Boom!"

The spirit leaves all shattered, dispersing into spiritual mist.

In the original space, a golden flood dragon dharma aspect appeared out of nowhere.

With fierce teeth and claws, lifelike.

In front of the flood dragon dharma aspect.

Wearing celestial armor, transformed into a six-zhang golden body, Shen Xuan wielded a golden staff, swinging heavy stick shadows towards the surrounding divine wood branches.

Fallen leaves flew, broken branches scattered.

True Master Lu’s figure shook, grasping the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella again, injecting several streams of spiritual power.

Yet,

The endless sea of trees had already vanished.

True Master Lu stared blankly at Shen Xuan across from him.

Pain surged from his chest.

"Hundred breaths!"

Demon King Xuan Ye suddenly cried out.

The fierce wind suddenly disappeared.

Shen Xuan clasped his fists respectfully toward True Master Lu.

"Thanks for the allowance!"

The flood dragon dharma aspect gradually faded away.

Shen Xuan returned to his original form.

True Master Lu glanced at the dim spiritual light on the Primordial Divine Wood Umbrella.

Suddenly, he laughed and said: "Good! The new waves push the old waves! Today, I’ve experienced something remarkable!

This bet, I lost!"

"Thank you for the guidance, True Master Lu."

Shen Xuan bowed respectfully: "I have some affairs to attend to, I’ll return to Spring Breeze Island first."

"If True Master Lu passes by, feel free to visit the island."

True Master Lu stroked his beard and said: "Good. Once I’ve finished with my errands, I’ll definitely visit Spring Breeze Island to drink and discuss Dao with Fellow Daoist Shen."

"Farewell, everyone!"

Shen Xuan flew downward, fetching the spirit flying sword and the storage pouch in front of Li Mingjing, and taking away the stupefied Zhuang Xueqin, transforming into an escape light, breaking through the air and leaving.

Seeing Shen Xuan’s figure disappear.

Demon King Xuan Ye, Sea Dragon King, Ocean-Calming King, Chang Sheng Ship Master, and Li Mingjing had complex expressions on their faces.

Especially Li Mingjing, whose face was filled with bitterness.

All the core formation treasures were gone.

Even True Master Lu would need considerable cost and time to gather them again.

"Why is such a powerful person hiding in the Star Sea?"

"Who exactly is Shen Xuan?"

The Ocean-Calming King and Chang Sheng Ship Master asked.

Demon King Xuan Ye glanced at True Master Lu.

Seeing he had no objections.

She then slowly spoke: "Shen Xuan is a disciple of Cyan Cloud Sect in Song Country. Skilled in body refining, ice technique, thunder technique, water technique, alchemy, and talisman making."

"He won first place in the Foundation Establishment Realm technique demonstration contest of Cyan Cloud Sect."

"It’s rumored that he is a descendant of Water Technique True Monarch Shen Hanchong from Jin Country a thousand years ago."

Upon hearing this, the Sea Dragon King exclaimed: "That True Monarch Shen, with infinite strength, was said to have the ability to move mountains and overturn seas, slay tigers and dragons!"

"With such a lineage, how did he end up in this state?"

Demon King Xuan Ye glanced sideways at the Sea Dragon King.

She spoke in a faint tone: "Because, in Song Country Cyan Cloud Sect, someone couldn’t tolerate him."
