Chapter 387: Breakthrough Is Imminent
Time flies during cultivation, and the six-month deadline has come in a blink of an eye.
Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu stood together again, and the two Yun Qiao'er were still watching the duel between him and Liu Haiyu.
"Liu Haiyu, take out your Ruoshui Sword. According to the last agreement, this time we are competing in weapons." Xu Yang pointed at Liu Haiyu and said loudly.
"I will not lose in a weapon competition." Liu Haiyu said confidently.
After saying that, Liu Haiyu turned his wrist, and the blue ripples in his palm moved, and a blue water appeared out of thin air. The blue water was collected, and it was still the Ruoshui Sword of extraordinary quality. On it, the visible spiritual energy on it kept moving according to a fixed pattern, like a flowing rune, and the sword body was azure and crystal, like a blue crystal.
Liu Haiyu's Ruoshui Sword was made of precious materials. The main material alone used a hundred kinds of water-based spiritual materials. And there were already forty-nine layers of Taoist prohibitions engraved and smelted on it. Generally speaking, the more levels of restrictions on a spiritual weapon or magic weapon, the higher the quality. More than twenty-one levels are super-high-quality spiritual weapons, and those with forty-nine levels of restrictions are already of high-level magic weapons.
But the actual power depends more on the grade and preference of the restrictions. Some treasures are biased towards defense, some are biased towards attack, and many of the restrictions on treasures have special functions, such as high-level refining furnaces and alchemy furnaces, which have restrictions that mostly attract spirits and help melting, and have no attack or defense attributes.
And Liu Haiyu's Ruoshui Sword, the forty-nine levels of restrictions on it are completely orthodox Taoist secret restrictions, which were refined by three top Taoist refining masters for ten years before they succeeded. It is really a ten-year sharpening of a sword. The Ruoshui Sword combines the three characteristics of attack, gathering spirits and talisman formation into one, and the forty-nine levels of restrictions form a sword formation. Therefore, Liu Haiyu is good at using the Ruoshui Sword to directly launch a powerful sword formation technique, which is extremely powerful.
Xu Yang glanced at the Ruoshui Sword in Liu Haiyu's hand and praised sincerely: "Your Ruoshui Sword is really good."
The Ruoshui Sword was originally given to Liu Haiyu by Qing Guzi, the previous head of the Qinglian Dojo. This sword can't help but entrust Qing Guzi's expectations for Liu Haiyu, and it is also an affirmation of Liu Haiyu's efforts and talents. Liu Haiyu certainly values his Ruoshui Sword very much. He refined it into his life sword and regarded it as precious as his brothers. He always remembers the teachings of his master.
"Haiyu, your goal is to stand on the Tianxianzi competition stage of Zhongyuan Continent one day and represent my Zhenlian Dojo. Maybe it's next time, maybe it's many years later, I hope you won't let your master down." Liu Haiyu always keeps the encouragement and exhortations of his master in mind, still in his ears, and has become the biggest motivation for his practice.
"My Ruoshui Sword is of course very good. I wonder how your Four Illusions Long Stick has been enhanced? If it is not good enough, don't compare it with my Ruoshui Sword." Liu Haiyu said arrogantly. He was still very confident in the Ruoshui Sword.
Xu Yang smiled slightly when he heard it, and then said: "It is good, but your Ruoshui Sword looks the same as it was half a year ago. Let me show you my upgraded Four Illusions Long Stick."
After saying that, Xu Yang turned his wrist, and a blue and gold light flashed in his palm, and the Four Illusions Long Stick was in his hand.
The purple and gold runes and ice blue runes on the surface of the Four Illusions Long Stick flowed in an orderly manner, complementing each other. It was the power of Taishan Jinjing and the power of blue crystal Yuan.
Although Xu Yang's Four Illusions Long Stick was refined by Ouyang Cheng, the master of Tiangui Sect, who spent his life's hard work, the grade of each section was only twenty-one. It was far inferior to the forty-nine layers of the Ruoshui Sword in Liu Haiyu's hand. The advantage is that it has complete attributes and both offense and defense. It is perfect for Xu Yang who practices the Five Elements Flame Art. Weapons, though good or bad, are most important to suit the user. Just as the Ruoshui Sword is suitable for Liu Haiyu, the Four Illusions Long Stick is suitable for Xu Yang.
"Make a move, let me see what power your Four Illusions Long Stick has." Liu Haiyu said loudly.
Xu Yang shook his head slightly after hearing this, pretending to be mysterious: "This time we are competing in weapons, so there is no need to make a move."
Liu Haiyu muttered in his heart, could it be that Xu Yang has some tricks again, and still said confidently: "No matter how to compete, my Ruoshui Sword will not lose to your Four Illusions Long Stick."
Xu Yang looked at Liu Haiyu's Ruoshui Sword, then looked down at the Four Illusions Long Stick in his hand, and then said: "Let's compare whose weapon is heavier."
Liu Haiyu thought about it first, and then said: "This is the first time I heard that weapons are compared in weight. Okay, I'll compete with you."
"That's straightforward. The weight is just a requirement I put forward. At that time, you can also put forward a competition requirement, so that it will be fair for you and me to compete." Xu Yang said.
"Let me show you the weight of the Ruoshui Sword in my hand." Liu Haiyu said loudly.
After Liu Haiyu finished speaking, he threw the Ruoshui Sword in his hand in front of him and said softly: "Go!"
The Ruoshui Sword soared into the air and turned into a huge ten-zhang in an instant. Ten thousand green streams of light were sprinkled on the surface, like the shadow of stars, dazzling.
"My Ruoshui Sword can be heavy or light." Liu Haiyu said, and he pointed at the Ruoshui Sword through the air with one hand.
The huge Ruoshui Sword spun faster and faster, and suddenly set off a huge blue storm vortex, and the spiritual power in the void within a radius of ten miles was sucked into it.
As a competition with Xu Yang, Liu Haiyu has always been serious. He mobilized his own mental power and the endurance of his soul to control the Ruoshui Sword and absorb as much spiritual power as possible.
"Heavy!"
With Liu Haiyu's clear shout, the Ruoshui Sword stopped moving.
At this time, the huge Ruoshui Sword of ten feet turned blue-black, as deep as black iron.
The next moment, the Ruoshui Sword, with the tip of the sword pointing downward, fell straight down.
Boom——
Liu Haiyu did not use any magic power, and the weight of the Ruoshui Sword alone was more than one-third of the sword body submerged in the ground.
"It's only one hundred and three thousand pounds." Liu Haiyu said loudly.
"It's my turn!" Xu Yang on the opposite side said loudly.
Immediately, the four-illusion long stick in his hand was also thrown out.
"My four-illusion long stick can be big or small, long or short, and it can be as heavy as you want." Xu Yang boasted, and then pinched the formula and pointed at the four-illusion long stick in the air.
Buzz——
The four-illusion long stick in the air made a buzzing sound, and a solemn purple shadow of Mount Tai suddenly appeared on the surface of the stick, and the stick body became larger.
Getting bigger and bigger, it was as big as a hundred feet, and it jumped high like a purple dragon rushing into the sky.
"Fall!"
Xu Yang cast a spell with one hand, guiding the four-illusion long stick to fall steadily.
Dong——
A muffled sound, thunder roared from the ground, and the earth shook violently.
The huge four-illusion long stick, which was a hundred feet long, stabbed straight into the ground in the distance, like a giant pillar that towered into the sky.
"Weight? About 600,000 pounds." Xu Yang said confidently.
A blue spiritual light flashed in Liu Haiyu's eyes, and he activated the water spirit magic eyes to stare at the four-illusion long stick in the distance. He took a breath and shook his head and said, "This?"
"This time, we should be a draw." Xu Yang said calmly.
"How do you say that?" Liu Haiyu asked in doubt.
"It was agreed in advance that each of us would answer half of the questions in this competition. I said to see whose weapon was heavier, and you could naturally say whose weapon was lighter." Therefore, there was no winner or loser in this competition.
"Good, Haiyu did not lose." The illusion "Yun Qiaoer" on the side clapped his hands.
"Another draw. It looks like we have to practice again." Yun Qiao'er's original body said with satisfaction.
Liu Haiyu was a little confused. He didn't know why Xu Yang wanted to compete with him in such a boring competition. There was no winner or loser at all. Just take it as an excuse to continue the competition between the two.
The two of them put away the Ruoshui Sword and the Four Illusion Long Stick respectively. Xu Yang was very satisfied with the result of the competition.
"Liu Haiyu, judging from the state of your control of the Ruoshui Sword just now, there was no deviation at all. It can be seen that your cultivation has reached the peak of the True Dan Realm. Why don't we compete to see who breaks through the bottleneck of our cultivation first next time." Xu Yang suggested.
After hearing what Xu Yang said, Liu Haiyu immediately understood Xu Yang's intention of proposing a competition of the weight of weapons. The weight of his Ruoshui Sword actually activated the forbidden power on the sword body, absorbed the surrounding spiritual power, and thus increased the weight of the sword body. And Xu Yang judged the true state of Liu Haiyu's cultivation realm from the scale and stability of the spiritual power that Liu Haiyu could control just now.
People who practice Taoism generally do not expose their bottlenecks in cultivation. Every cultivator is very vulnerable when breaking through the bottleneck of cultivation. It is very dangerous if enemies or some people with bad intentions use this time to retaliate and plunder.
This time, Xu Yang proposed to test the weight of weapons. In order to exert the weight of Ruoshui Sword, Liu Haiyu showed the limit and stability of his body to carry spiritual power without reservation. Although Liu Haiyu only used 80% of his ability, it was enough for Xu Yang to accurately judge the state of his cultivation realm.
"Of course, it is also a good choice to break through to the Yuanhun realm here." Liu Haiyu gladly accepted Xu Yang's challenge.
Xu Yang proposed to test weapons this time, indeed to test Liu Haiyu's body. But it is also to test the effect of his four-magic long stick after fusing with blue crystal essence.
One of the sections of the four-magic long stick is made of Taishan Jinjing. One of the characteristics of Taishan Jinjing is that it can be enlarged and heavier at will, but the premise is that the other three sections of the four-magic long stick can bear this change. Seeing that the Four Magic Stick can become a hundred feet long, Xu Yang is very satisfied with the effect of integrating the blue crystal element into the Four Magic Stick, especially the water attribute part, which can fully withstand the changes of the Four Magic Stick.
In the previous five months.
It only took Xu Yang one month to strengthen the Four Magic Stick. In the remaining four months, Xu Yang has been practicing his own body. With the blue flame spirit. His Five Elements Flame Art has been upgraded to the eighth level. Next, as long as he gets the fifth wood attribute flame spirit, the Five Elements Flame Art will be expected to be successful, thus upgrading to the tenth level. At that time, the power of various methods in the Five Elements Flame Art will increase exponentially. This is also the power of the Five Elements Flame Art. The five elements are interdependent and circulate endlessly, and you can get twice the result with half the effort.
And Xu Yang's cultivation realm has reached the peak of the false elixir realm. He can't move forward half a step. The only way is to form the body golden elixir and break through to the true elixir realm.
Through constant exchanges with Liu Haiyu and the cultivation insights during this period, Xu Yang is confident that he can successfully cultivate the golden elixir.
When it was confirmed that Liu Haiyu's body had reached the peak of the True Dan Realm, Xu Yang naturally proposed to compete with Liu Haiyu in a realm breakthrough contest. In fact, Xu Yang knew that most of the time both sides would successfully break through. The result of the contest would definitely be a draw. And only with continuous draws can this dream world continue relatively peacefully.
This time, Xu Yang and Liu Haiyu agreed to meet again in ten years. After all, breaking through the True Dan Realm and the Yuanhun Realm requires great caution. And the two "Yun Qiao'er" were also happy with it, and they continued to practice in Jingtan.
