Chapter 4095: On Tao

Other Golden Immortal cultivators, whether hiding within the city walls or engaging the chaotic beasts in mid-grade chaotic armor, simply couldn't compare to them. Xiao Yue, emanating a strong demonic aura, was clearly a demon.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Wang, Madam Wang, and Fellow Daoist Ximen. Shall we find another place to spar?" Nangong Yunxin suggested.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had mastered a secret technique that even seven-colored chaotic beasts couldn't withstand, while the three Ximen brothers possessed extraordinary strength through their combined attack techniques. Xiao Yue chimed in, saying, "I too would like to spar with Fellow Daoist Wang and Fellow Daoist Ximen."

While there were many Golden Immortal cultivators present, only a handful caught their eye. "Excellent, that was precisely my intention," Ximen Yong agreed, his fighting spirit surging.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and agreed. It was merely a sparring match, not a fight to the death.

Nangong Yunxin transformed into a golden streak of light and flew into the distance. Wang Changsheng followed closely, and Wang Ruyan, along with the others, pursued them.

Nangong Yunxin stood atop one peak. The three Ximen brothers stood atop another peak, a hundred miles away. Wang Ruyan and Xiao Yue each stood atop their own peaks, ready to spar.

"Fellow Daoist Ximen, I won't hold back; one strike will decide the victor!" Nangong Yunxin declared.

Ximen Zhi chuckled, his face brimming with confidence, "Hehe, Fellow Daoist Nangong, feel free to unleash any divine abilities you possess; we three brothers also wish to witness them."

Nangong Yunxin nodded, performed a hand seal, and his body erupted in golden light. His form swelled to a hundred zhang tall, entirely enveloped in a golden glow, resembling a golden Buddha.

He extended his palm, and the void instantly tore open. A massive golden palm, continuously shimmering with light, flew out, heading directly towards the three Ximen brothers. Wherever the golden palm passed, the ground collapsed into dust, and large amounts of vegetation exploded.

The three Ximen brothers radiated crimson light from their bodies, their auras merging into one. They unleashed a combined punch, and three crimson giant fists shot forth, instantly merging into a single entity to meet the attack.

The crimson giant fist collided with the golden colossal palm, shattering instantly, like an egg hitting a rock.

The three Ximen brothers were somewhat surprised. They each gestured towards the void, and a colossal crimson light barrier appeared, enveloping them. The golden colossal palm struck the crimson light barrier, causing it to indent and flicker continuously.

Crimson light erupted from the three Ximen brothers' bodies, and the crimson light barrier intensified, blocking the golden colossal palm. Although they were all late-stage Golden Immortals, Nangong Yunxin's strength was clearly superior to theirs.

"Combined attack techniques, interesting. Fellow Daoist Wang, it's your turn," Nangong Yunxin said, looking at Wang Changsheng.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, your cultivation is higher than mine, and you are a peak True Spirit. How about you withstand two of my moves?" Wang Changsheng proposed.

"Very well! Fellow Daoist Wang, feel free to unleash any divine abilities you possess," Nangong Yunxin agreed without hesitation.

Wang Changsheng's right index finger glowed with blue light. He flicked his finger, and a blue long rainbow shot out, leaving a gaping fissure in the void as it flew directly towards Nangong Yunxin.

Nangong Yunxin swung his right palm, meeting the attack.

The blue long rainbow struck Nangong Yunxin's palm, emitting a dull thud like metal striking metal. "Fellow Daoist Wang, one more move," Nangong Yunxin said.

Wang Changsheng nodded. His right index finger erupted in golden light, and he transformed into a blue long rainbow, heading directly towards Nangong Yunxin. Nangong Yunxin did not evade, swinging his right palm to meet him.

The golden colossal palm collided with the golden-lit finger, emitting a dull thud. Nangong Yunxin recoiled a step, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His finger was unharmed, but his palm felt a bit sore.

Wang Changsheng was merely a mid-stage Golden Immortal. If he were a late-stage Golden Immortal or even higher, how much more powerful would this divine ability be? "Haha, impressive, but it's a pity Fellow Daoist Wang's cultivation is a bit low. Otherwise, I would have wanted you to take one of my moves," Nangong Yunxin chuckled, speaking with a hint of regret.

The three Ximen brothers had only managed to block one of his attacks by combining their strength. In Nangong Yunxin's estimation, Wang Changsheng, being only a mid-stage Golden Immortal, wouldn't be able to withstand one of his blows. Even if Wang Changsheng were to win, it wouldn't be a fair victory.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, please go ahead and make your move," Wang Changsheng said, flying down onto a peak.

Nangong Yunxin was momentarily startled, then said, "Alright. If Fellow Daoist Wang cannot withstand it, you may evade; do not force it." He extended his palm, and a massive golden palm, continuously shimmering with light, flew out, heading directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Golden light surged from Wang Changsheng's right index finger as he met the attack.

The golden colossal palm collided with Wang Changsheng's right index finger. His body immediately sank into the ground. Six different colored spiritual lights burst from his right index finger, and the golden colossal palm instantly shattered. The six spiritual lights then disappeared.

This was an instantaneous transformation!

The four, including Ximen Zhi, only saw the golden colossal palm strike Wang Changsheng, and then it disintegrated. They were unclear how it had been neutralized.

Nangong Yunxin was startled at first, then burst into hearty laughter. "It seems I underestimated Fellow Daoist Wang. As the Old Ancestor said, there's always a higher heaven, and there are always people stronger than yourself. Haha, Fellow Daoist Wang, Fellow Daoist Ximen, shall we gather here again in five million years for another match?"

"Good. In five million years, our brothers should have advanced to Grand Unity Golden Immortals," Ximen Zhi agreed, his face full of confidence.

Wang Changsheng also agreed. Nangong Yunxin's strength was exceptionally great, and it was rare that he harbored no designs on Wang Changsheng's secret technique.

At this moment, Xiao Yue had also finished sparring with Wang Ruyan. With the help of the Three Fingers of Qiankun and the Aperture Fusion Art, Wang Ruyan had fought Xiao Yue to a draw. "The sparring is over. Let's go to the bamboo forest to listen to the two seniors lecture!" Ximen Zhi suggested, noting that it was a rare and invaluable opportunity to hear Grand Unity Golden Immortals give a discourse.

Wang Changsheng and the others had no objections. They left the area and returned to the bamboo forest.

By this time, over a hundred Golden Immortal cultivators had gathered in the bamboo forest. The elder in green robes nodded when he saw the seven of them, including Nangong Yunxin.

"Everyone is here," the elder in green robes began. "I shall now begin my discourse. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. To encounter us here is a rare opportunity for you all."

He spoke in great detail about the cultivation and application of laws. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan, having consumed Enlightenment Fruits, had greatly enhanced their comprehension and easily understood what the elder in green robes was explaining. The other Golden Immortal cultivators, however, found it obscure and difficult to grasp, as if listening to something in the clouds.

It was only natural that their understanding of laws, compared to that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, was vastly inferior, making it difficult for them to comprehend. Three days passed, and the elder in green robes ceased his discourse, looking towards the crowd.

Most of the Golden Immortal cultivators remained bewildered, while Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan appeared refreshed and enlightened. The three Ximen brothers, however, frowned slightly.

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I will answer everything I know," the elder in green robes stated.

"Senior Nangong," Ximen Zhi began, "this junior is Ximen Zhi. Is the perfection of law cultivation the end of the Great Dao? Are all Dao Ancestors those who have perfected laws?"

"The perfection of law cultivation is not the end of the Great Dao, but rather the beginning of touching the essence of laws," the elder in green robes explained. "If one cannot even perfect a law, how can they become a Dao Ancestor?"
