Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 196: Radiant Brilliance

"You did well."

Yun Taihao rarely praises others, but this time he sincerely admires Gao Xian.

Gao Xian slightly lowers his gaze and bows, showing respect to this Gold Core cultivator, as well as expressing a humble attitude.

Wang Chuan, Yuan Chongguang, and Yun Feiying all silently watch, not saying a word. However, the looks in their eyes towards Gao Xian are filled with shock, doubt, and awe.

Especially Yuan Chongguang and Wang Chuan, who have only heard of Gao Xian's strength but have never seen it with their own eyes.

Today's battle has scared Yuan Chongguang. He originally thought that since everyone was in the early stage of Foundation Building, there wouldn't be much difference between them.

He never expected that, despite being in the early stage of Foundation Building, Huo Lingyun could easily defeat Yun Feiying, and Gao Xian could easily defeat Huo Lingyun. He is even stronger than Yun Feiying...

If Gao Xian wanted to kill him, it would only take a few Flame Blast attacks!

Wang Chuan is even more shocked. Huo Lianshan is a cultivator in the later stage of Foundation Building, and his sword cultivation is much higher than his.

If he were to go up against him, he wouldn't last more than twenty moves before being defeated by Huo Lianshan's Chiyang Sword.

There is a difference of two spiritual apertures between the early stage and the later stage of Foundation Building, with a several-fold difference in spiritual consciousness and mana.

In Wang Chuan's two hundred years of life, he has never heard of a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Building defeating someone in the later stage of Foundation Building.

Today, he witnessed Gao Xian's swordsmanship surpassing Huo Lianshan's, with the support of the Great Five Elements Sword Qi and the Qinglian Sword, piercing through Huo Lianshan's protective aura with a single strike.

There were no tricks or schemes involved. If they were to repeat the battle, Huo Lianshan would still be killed by Gao Xian.

Wang Chuan sighs deeply in his heart. He deeply understands one thing: from today onwards, only the Sect Master can suppress Gao Xian in the Lianyun Sect. No one else can.

At the funeral of Nanping Song, Zhu Qianniang spoke harshly to them, causing the relationship between the two sides to become extremely tense.

Wang Chuan originally wanted to find an opportunity to take advantage of these two, but now he can't help but feel somewhat fortunate that he didn't go too far.

Thinking of this, a forced smile appears on Wang Chuan's face as he takes the initiative to congratulate Gao Xian repeatedly.

Gao Xian understands Wang Chuan's intentions. He doesn't particularly like this person, but there's no need to make things difficult for Wang Chuan either.

He exchanges a few polite words with Wang Chuan, his attitude quite gentle.

This makes Wang Chuan feel relieved, and he is even a little surprised. Gao Xian is truly magnanimous, not holding grudges and treating people kindly. He's a good person...

But then he feels that something is not right. Is he being too pathetic? Even if Gao Xian is casually polite, is it worth being so happy about?

Wang Chuan's mood becomes complicated, but it doesn't affect his efforts to get closer to Gao Xian.

Yuan Chongguang suddenly understands as well. He also puts on a smile and accompanies Gao Xian in conversation, seizing every opportunity to flatter him.

Yun Feiying silently stands aside, watching Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang fawning and groveling. She feels quite uncomfortable in her heart.

These two people's expressions changed too quickly!

Looking at Gao Xian again, he still had that generous and cheerful appearance, being quite polite to Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang, without any hint of arrogance.

Yun Feiying suddenly remembered the teacher's evaluation of Gao Xian, that this person appeared gentle but had a sinister and deep inner nature.

Originally, she thought the teacher was exaggerating a bit, but today she had some understanding. If Gao Xian wasn't deep and scheming, how could he remain unperturbed by honor or disgrace?

Gao Xian sensed Yun Feiying's gaze but didn't pay it any mind. At this moment, he only had Yun Taihao in his eyes, and what others thought or did was not important.

Wang Chuan and Yuan Chongguang weren't good at flattery, so they chatted for a few sentences and then fell silent.

Fortunately, at this time, the people from Qingfeng Sect and Shaoyang Sect took the stage.

The four sects would compete in pairs, and the winners would be determined in the end. The rules of the competition were very simple.

This time, Zheng Hongdao from Shaoyang Sect took the stage. This person was quite famous and was also regarded as a Gold Core seed by Shaoyang Sect.

His status was similar to Huo Lingyun's, just not as high-profile.

Zheng Hongdao had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tall figure, and was dressed in a blue Daoist robe. His gaze was steady, giving off a simple and robust appearance.

Qingfeng Sect sent Li Feihuang to the stage. She wore an exceptionally gorgeous crimson Daoist robe, with a golden phoenix hairpin on her head. Coupled with her stunning phoenix eyes and long eyebrows, she exuded a captivating charm.

Li Feihuang and Zheng Hongdao standing together were like a queen and her bodyguard.

"This Zheng Hongdao really looks like a true seed of cultivation..." Yun Qiushui, who knows when he came over, said with a smile.

Gao Xian nodded. Indeed, Zheng Hongdao gave off a more solid and steady feeling.

In comparison, Li Feihuang seemed a bit too flashy and glamorous. With her Foundation Building cultivation, such a grandeur seemed a bit exaggerated.

Yun Qiushui continued, "However, talent is the most important thing in cultivation. Li Feihuang is a Fire Phoenix Spirit Body, but her temperament is still a bit flighty. Once she settles down and focuses on cultivation, her achievements will surpass Zheng Hongdao by a lot..."

Gao Xian was a bit surprised. "Fellow Daoist seems to hold Li Feihuang in high regard."

"A Fire Phoenix Spirit Body is an extremely rare cultivation physique," Yun Qiushui shook his head. "At the Foundation Building stage, perhaps the advantage isn't very apparent. But if she can condense a Gold Core, at the very least, it will be a mid-grade third rank. To reach this level, we don't know how much effort we have to put in."

He said with a meaningful tone, "Fellow Daoist must not underestimate Li Feihuang..."

Gao Xian felt that Yun Qiushui seemed to be reminding him of something, but what he said was vague, and he didn't quite understand. It also fit his image as a noble young master, too straightforward and uninteresting!

On the Immortal Ascension Platform, Li Feihuang activated the Wind and Fire Scripture, and a huge green wind blade appeared out of thin air, rotating and slashing towards Zheng Hongdao.

The green wind blade was six feet long, with a crescent-shaped blade edge that gleamed with dazzling sharpness.

The buzzing low whistling sound emitted during its rotation showed how powerful and formidable the magical power condensed in this green long blade was.

"The Wind and Fire Scripture is the most suitable secret technique for the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body. The Liefeng Blade's power is multiplied in the hands of Li Feihuang..."

Yun Qiushui used his divine sense to transmit his voice to Gao Xian, helping him explain Li Feihuang's spell.

Gao Xian didn't say anything. He carefully watched all the changes in Li Feihuang's spells, constantly switching modes through the Flower Spirit Mirror, allowing him to see more details.

He didn't understand what the Fire Phoenix Spirit Body was, but he could see the smooth and natural manipulation of Li Feihuang's wind and fire mana. It was indeed exquisite.

Li Feihuang's manipulation of mana was like a fish freely playing in the water.

Although his manipulation of mana was exquisite, it was like a skilled swimmer swimming. Compared to Li Feihuang, he lacked that innate agility and ease.

Being able to make Yun Qiushui repeatedly emphasize it, Li Feihuang was indeed extraordinary.

On the opposite side, Zheng Hongdao drew his sword and urged the Shaoyang Gang Qi, easily shattering the Liefeng Blade with one strike.

Li Feihuang formed a hand seal and the ten Liefeng Blades spun towards Zheng Hongdao.

Zheng Hongdao held his sword steadily. His swordsmanship was superb, and his sword was also a second-grade superior weapon.

Although the Liefeng Blade was exquisite, it was ultimately condensed mana, tangible but intangible.

Zheng Hongdao used his sword to Shatter the Void, easily breaking the Liefeng Blade.

The problem was that Li Feihuang continued to unleash more and more Liefeng Blades. In just a few breaths, the Flying Immortal Platform was filled with rapidly rotating and slashing Liefeng Blades.

The deep and overlapping sound of the blade's roar seemed to be able to directly cut into one's heart.

Many cultivators watching below had shocked expressions. The imposing Liefeng Blades were much more impressive than mere bursts of flames.

Yun Qiushui said to Gao Xian, "You've provoked Li Feihuang. She's going all out now. The wind blades of the Liefeng Blade are just the first layer of transformation. When they turn into Flame Wind Blades, their power will multiply. Zheng Hongdao won't be able to withstand it..."

Just as Yun Qiushui had predicted, the green wind blades suddenly turned crimson.

The second transformation of the Liefeng Blade was displayed, making the Liefeng Blade even more fierce and sharp.

Zheng Hongdao struggled to cope with it. When thousands of crimson Liefeng Blades exploded together, Zheng Hongdao was instantly blasted off the Flying Immortal Platform...

At a critical moment, golden light flashed on Zheng Hongdao's body, completely resolving the heavy Liefeng Blades that had gathered on him.

Zheng Hongdao stabilized his figure in mid-air and courteously arched his hand towards Li Feihuang, "Fellow Daoist is outstanding, I have lost."

Li Feihuang nodded slightly in response. Being able to withstand her Liefeng Blades without getting injured, Zheng Hongdao indeed had some skills.

Of course, she had only used five percent of her strength.

Next, Li Feihuang defeated a mid-Foundation Building stage cultivator from the Shaoyang Sect.

With two consecutive victories, Li Feihuang received more appreciation and gained many fans.

After all, this was the territory of the Qingfeng Sect, and most of the cultivators here were from the Qingfeng Sect.

They, these low-level cultivators, have only heard of the name Li Feihuang. It wasn't until Li Feihuang took the stage that they had the courage to wholeheartedly appreciate this beautiful and graceful lady.

Seeing the genius of our sect being defeated by strong enemies and being exceptionally beautiful, these cultivators naturally became extremely excited.

After all, Gao Xian is an outsider. What does it have to do with them no matter how powerful he is?

In the third round, Xu Qingyuan from the Shaoyang Sect appeared. This late Foundation Building female cultivator had a friendly demeanor.

Xu Qingyuan and Li Feihuang started sparring, and both of them appeared relatively restrained. They used various spells, creating a spectacular scene.

In reality, they were fighting from a distance, like two people battling street dance, which was useless... This was Gao Xian's opinion, he found this fight quite amusing!

The many cultivators in the audience watched with bated breath, their eyes wide open.

Gao Xian lost interest after watching for a while. It was obvious that Xu Qingyuan was deliberately going easy on Li Feihuang. The two sects must have made an agreement.

The Shaoyang Sect probably didn't want to compete for first place and decided to give the Qingfeng Sect a favor.

Unlike the Lianyun Sect and the Chiyen Sect, they didn't play any tricks and fought head-on.

Sure enough, the two on stage stopped fighting at the same time after a while.

Xu Qingyuan praised Li Feihuang, and Li Feihuang also showed respect to Xu Qingyuan, and so on.

Finally, Xu Qingyuan declared the battle a draw. She publicly stated that she wanted to give the young people a chance, and this time the Shaoyang Sect would withdraw from the competition.

The many cultivators from the Qingfeng Sect in the audience were very excited. Li Feihuang and the famous Xu Qingyuan fought to a draw, which showed Li Feihuang's ability.

The crowd cheered loudly, creating a lively atmosphere.

Standing on the Feixian Platform, Li Feihuang's face was calm, but she was quite happy in her heart.

The emotions that had been repeatedly struck by Yun Qiushui were soothed amidst the cheers of the crowd.

Li Feihuang's gaze shifted and found Yun Qiushui, as well as Gao Xian by Yun Qiushui's side.

Compared to Yun Qiushui's almost enchanting beauty, Gao Xian had a more slender and upright figure, with more profound facial features. He stood elegantly in his green robe next to Yun Qiushui, lacking two points of charm but gaining two points of solemnity.

If we were to compare grace and demeanor, it could be said that there was no difference between him and Yun Qiushui.

Li Feihuang thought it was a pity. He was, after all, a cultivator who had started as a lone cultivator. Even if he had some talent, how far could he go on the path of cultivation?

Without hesitation, she thought of this and spoke up to Gao Xian, "Fellow Daoist Gao, your spells are exquisite, your swordsmanship is unparalleled. I would like to take this opportunity to seek some guidance from you. Please, Fellow Daoist, enlighten me..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators in the audience couldn't help but look towards Gao Xian.

Gao Xian smiled, and a faint golden halo shimmered behind him as he gracefully floated onto the Feixian Platform.

He clasped his fists and bowed, "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist's name and was just about to learn from your brilliance. Please!"
