In the sixth battle, Xia Mang Purple Mountain faced Jin Wu. Xia Mang Purple Mountain had already comprehended the fifth Dao several months ago, and his strength had greatly improved. He successfully defeated Jin Wu True Immortal and emerged victorious.
In reality, Pei San’s strength undoubtedly surpassed that of Xia Mang Purple Mountain. However, Xia Mang was from the royal family and it wouldn’t look good if he lost too badly. So, a stand-in Jin Wu True Immortal was arranged as his opponent. Pei San and Qin Shiqi could only face the stronger Mu Chuan and Heishi. Unexpectedly, Pei San was defeated by Mu Chuan, but Qin Shiqi defeated Heishi.
Anyway, Xia Mang Purple Mountain wouldn’t be able to pass the next round, so there’s no need to say much.
When Pei San faced Mu Chuan, he did use the Inner World, but the gap in their Dao was too great. Even the Inner World at the level of Wanxiang couldn’t make up for such a huge gap in strength.
After the fourth round, only Ji Ning, Teng Qingshan, Latte, Mu Chuan, Qin Shiqi, and Xia Mang Purple Mountain remained on the field.
Soon, the fifth round began.
In the first battle, Ji Ning faced Xia Mang Purple Mountain and emerged victorious.
In the second battle, Mu Chuan True Immortal faced Qin Shiqi. Qin Shiqi exerted his strength to the extreme, and the power of his Inner World erupted again, but he was still suppressed by Mu Chuan True Immortal’s powerful dual Dao, and ultimately left the stage without making it to the top three.
In the third battle, Teng Qingshan faced Latte True Immortal.
At the beginning of the match, Latte True Immortal released a solemn expression and summoned the image of a tortoise and snake to shield himself with a powerful defense. Then, without hesitation, he began to use the Rolling Waves Secret Technique, layering his attacks like waves. Teng Qingshan’s eyes were extremely sharp as he manifested the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Perception and his three heads and six arms. Then, he took a big step forward, with a gray-black aura condensing on his six fists, and the five-colored divine light flowing into them, delivering the strongest blow!
“Boom!”
At the moment of impact, the tortoise and snake image trembled violently, and Latte Daoist’s mouth overflowed with bright red blood. However, the tortoise and snake image stubbornly held its ground around Latte.
“It didn’t break!”
“This Tortoise and Snake Great Divine Ability is still formidable. It’s worthy of being the favored divine ability of the Basalt Great Emperor!”
The immortals praised. Teng Qingshan’s expression changed. He took a step back, retracted his three heads and six arms, and the gray-black aura wrapped around only his right arm, with the five-colored divine light merging into it.
“What is he trying to do?”
“Is he trying to deplete Latte True Immortal’s divine power?”
“The divine power of both sides is similar, but Teng Qingshan’s divine body is stronger. In the end, he might win.”
At this point, everyone’s strength was almost fully revealed, and there were only a few strategies they could use. The immortals quickly guessed Teng Qingshan’s intentions, thinking that he wanted to win by taking advantage of his divine body.
But the next moment, Teng Qingshan threw a punch. This punch suddenly erupted with unparalleled power, an incomparably pure explosive force condensed on it, and the tremendous power instantly sent the tortoise and snake image flying!
Latte True Immortal was shocked, and the tortoise and snake image dissipated in an instant.
“I concede!” Seeing Teng Qingshan about to strike again, Latte True Immortal reluctantly admitted defeat.
“Teng Qingshan still has strength left?”
“In the battle with Jiusi True Immortal before, if he had used this move, he might have won long ago. I didn’t expect him to endure and save this move until the end!”
“He has excellent character!”
The immortals were first surprised, then nodded in admiration. Even the several Pure Yang True Immortals on the Heavenly Mang Palace couldn’t help but show approving smiles.
“This move is the Dao of Explosion, right?”
“Yeah, judging from his appearance, he should have comprehended it for some time. I didn’t expect him to keep it hidden until now!”
“Amazing, Qingshan!”
Xu Zong couldn’t help but show a pleased expression.
“The Dharma Door of the Swallowed Star is very compatible with the Dao of Explosion. When the Dharma Door is cultivated to a high level, one naturally comprehends the Dao of Explosion. I didn’t expect him to keep it hidden from me. He truly is a ruthless person who, because of his fondness for hiding his trump cards, caused his wife to face two crises in her past life and present life, almost dying twice!”
Teng Qingshan was, after all, an assassin. An assassin’s instinct is to keep his trump cards hidden in his heart. Even if his strength has made a breakthrough, he won’t tell anyone. That’s why he was abandoned by the organization in his past life and caused his wife to face a crisis, leading to her death once. After being reincarnated into the Nine Cauldrons World, his instinct caused his reincarnated wife, Li Jun, to face a crisis. If The Nine Cauldrons is not a sequel but a prequel, his wife would have died again.
My evaluation is NICE!
So, when the time comes, one must be tough. Being overly cautious, enduring, and hiding will only harm the people around you.
The fifth round ended, and the final three were decided. They were Ji Ning, Mu Chuan True Immortal, and Teng Qingshan! The three of them were very excited, as being one of the final three meant they had the opportunity to be accepted as disciples by the Dao Ancestor!
“Beiming, Mu Chuan, and Teng Qingshan, congratulations. You have all earned the opportunity to choose a divine ability or spell from our Great Xia Treasury, and I will record all of your battle images to show to the Master. The Master will choose one of you to be his named disciple.”Xia Huang appeared in front of the three of them, and unlike the previous time, there was a hint of a smile on his face this time.
“You three, meditate in the Mingyue Mountain Water Map for an hour, then compete in pairs to determine the final rankings!”
“Yes!” The three of them responded in unison and flew into the water map.
After another hour, the final battle arrived.
“Everyone, who do you think will win first place among these three?” In the Tianmang Hall, Lu Dongbin drank a pot of immortal brew and asked enthusiastically.
“Ji Ning is unparalleled in attack, while Teng Qingshan’s divine body is unmatched. It’s hard to say!”
“Anyway, Mu Chuan should have no chance of winning.”
Emperor Hao chuckled.
“Agreed.”
The Northern Immortal clapped his hands and laughed. The other True Immortals also nodded.
Ji Ning’s swordsmanship is extremely strong, and he has made great progress in the realm of the Great Dao. His attacks are undoubtedly the best. Teng Qingshan’s divine body is unmatched, and it is faintly stronger than the Earth-grade magic treasure. Moreover, the combination of the Bursting Dao and the Life and Death Dao gives his attacks considerable power, making his offense and defense very balanced. As for Mu Chuan, although he also cultivates the Green Wood and Source Water Great Daos, these two Great Daos are not very powerful. His only advantage is that he is relatively tough and can withstand damage, but in terms of withstanding damage, Teng Qingshan, who has cultivated the Vajra Body, is not inferior to him. Mu Chuan has the least hope, according to the consensus of these Pure Yang True Immortals.
Whether Ji Ning, with unparalleled attack, or Teng Qingshan, with balanced offense and defense, will win first place is currently the most interesting point for everyone.
“I stand with Teng Qingshan,” the Great Sage of the Mahayana suddenly spoke up.
“Old man, I also favor Teng Qingshan,” the Northern Immortal immediately agreed.
“I think it’s Ji Ning!” Lu Dongbin laughed heartily.
“I also think Ji Ning is more formidable,” Emperor Xia followed suit.
“Young friend, what do you think?” The Great Sage of the Mahayana looked at Xu Zong and asked with a smile.
“Well… Ji Ning,” Xu Zong pondered for a while, his face showing some conflict, but in the end, he still chose Ji Ning.
“Oh?” The Great Sage was slightly surprised.
“You’re not standing with your cousin?”
“Because he’s my cousin, that’s why I won’t stand with him!” Xu Zong shook his head and sighed.
He knew Teng Qingshan very well. After all, the two of them had grown up together. But no matter what, if he had to choose between Teng Qingshan and Ji Ning, Xu Zong could only choose Ji Ning.
“Everything will become clear once the competition begins!”
The True Immortals all nodded in agreement. With their insight, they could only see that Ji Ning and Teng Qingshan were evenly matched, and who would win in the end could only be left to fate.
An hour later, the final battle finally began.
In the first battle, Mu Chuan faced Ji Ning.
Ji Ning swung his sword, and the sword light was as solid as silk, with no wasted strength, cutting the giant tree shadow of Mu Chuan in half at the waist, fully displaying the power of the realm of the Great Dao.
With each swing of his sword, Mu Chuan could only defend with all his might, without any chance of counterattack. He was completely suppressed and, in the end, made a defensive mistake and was smashed away by Ji Ning’s sword.
Mu Chuan, defeated.
In the second battle, Mu Chuan faced Teng Qingshan.
In this battle, Mu Chuan was finally able to display some offensive power. The towering green wood extended vines and lashed out at Teng Qingshan. Teng Qingshan punched and kicked, opening all the vines that attacked him. He ignored the attacks coming from the side, and those attacks hitting him only left behind white marks, not even a single scar. Teng Qingshan ignored them and charged at Mu Chuan like a war chariot driving through an ancient battlefield, finally smashing Mu Chuan away with a punch.
Mu Chuan, defeated again.
The results of these two battles were not unexpected to everyone. And with the end of these two battles, the final battle arrived.
“The final battle of this Immortal Destiny Convention, Ji Ning against Teng Qingshan!”
Emperor Xia personally announced the start of the competition.
In the Mingyue Mountain Water Map.
“Qingshan, I’ve wanted to compete with you for victory for a long time!”
Ji Ning manifested three heads and six arms, and the Heaven and Earth Dao, drawing six Earth-grade flying swords, looked at Teng Qingshan with a high spirit, his eyes full of rising fighting spirit.
“Bring it on!”
Feeling the overwhelming fighting spirit, Teng Qingshan couldn’t help but feel excited. He had a strong impulse to abandon all other thoughts and throw himself wholeheartedly into this battle. He didn’t resist this impulse, but instead, with his mind, he rose up with fighting spirit.
“Good, come at me!”
Ji Ning laughed loudly and then swung his sword first!
The sword light was like a drizzle, and then like an explosion of fire, water and fire were organically fused together, like two millstones, killing Teng Qingshan head-on!
Teng Qingshan’s gaze was as sharp as a sword, also displaying the Heaven and Earth Dao and three heads and six arms. He met the millstones of water and fire with two punches, one punch condensed a mountainous shadow, crashing into the water millstone, and the other punch condensed a water vortex, crashing into the fire millstone.
In the instant of collision, the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the Five Elements quietly took effect, and the two large millstones of water and fire were both defeated and flew back.At this moment, Ji Ning also employed the Windwing Evasion Technique, rushing forward as his swordplay transformed. Water and fire converged around him once more, creating a massive sword domain in the shape of a water-fire lotus, charging at Teng Qingshan as the vanguard.
Teng Qingshan remained unmoved, with the divine radiance of the Five Elements’ Minor Paths coalescing around him. The five minor paths formed a circle, as if creating a cycle of reincarnation, and the power of the five-colored divine light surged dramatically!
