Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 77 - 77 69 The Power of the Nine Level Fulfilled Dao Foundation

77: Chapter 69: The Power of the Nine Level Fulfilled Dao Foundation 77: Chapter 69: The Power of the Nine Level Fulfilled Dao Foundation The clouds collapsed, leaving a clear sky for miles, as a finger descended from the heavens.

Gu Wen looked up, as if the entire world had paused, with the wind-whipped dead leaves suspended mid-air, and the hundred-yard-tall golden figure raising its shield toward the Heavenly True Immortal’s mighty light.

His Dao Foundation was similar to Yu Hua’s, both originating from the same source.

Although their power differed as dirt from clouds, he could still feel the gap, even clearer than his awareness of Wenren Wu.

It was a mountain reaching into the heavens, a giant tens of thousands of yards tall.

I saw her as a mayfly, soaring across the cosmos and glimpsing the great sun.

Yu Hua’s strength, all nine levels of her Dao Foundation were fulfilled.

Boom!

The sky’s finger fell, and in an instant, the dharma form soldiers kneeled, making the whole of Bianjing tremble.

On either side of Bianjing, a wide avenue of ten yards collapsed, countless blue stone slabs shattered into rubble.

Wenren Wu knelt on the ground, using all his strength to support himself with his hands, his tiger’s mouth spewing blood, his body’s flesh and muscles exceeded their limits and thus burst.

The power of the Eighth Level Dao Foundation, the ability of the Third Level fulfilled, the method of ten thousand soldiers.

He exhausted every tactic and ounce of strength, fighting for a slim chance of survival.

“Ah!!!!”

A half-step stance, lifting heaven with a raise!

The golden figure supported heaven’s finger, with the cultivation of the Eighth Level Dao Foundation, it contested the Taoist Heavenly Girl for a moment – such talent was indeed rare.

Immortal Land housed no mediocre individuals; Wenren Wu was able to suppress the national fate for ten years on the frontier, contending against northern invaders and facing both covert and overt attacks from various True Monarchs.

He was among the top warriors of his era.

If it were outside, he could dominate an area easily, but unfortunately, this was Immortal Land.

The sky’s finger pressed down again, the soldiers’ dharma forms shattered like frost, breaking inch by inch.

Hum!

A deep dragon’s chant came, a streak of golden light enveloping Wenren Wu and moving him half a yard at a critical moment, dodging the sky’s finger.

The sky’s finger touched the ground silently, barely stirring a wisp of dust.

The sky tilted like a mountain collapsing, but the retraction was gentle like the wind.

Wenren Wu, looking at his empty right arm, managed a carefree smile after the disaster.

“I, too, have contested against celestial might for a moment, magnificent!”

From a distance, Gu Wen came holding a broken spear, dust slowly settling, and Wenren Wu, dragging his battered body, rose and with a halberd in his left hand, slowly walked towards Gu Wen.

Gu Wen advised, “General, as long as the green hills are there, one need not worry about firewood.”

Though he approached, it was because the opposing Aura still locked onto him, stubbornly not letting go.

“If you run away, I’ll be mere firewood.

But this time, I only outmatch your True Monarch’s foundation, yet with your talent, you should have a ten percent chance of winning.”

Wenren Wu introspected, his Mana nine parts gone, his right arm severed, his dharma form damaged.

His face fierce as a tiger, as if his aura devoured thousands of miles, he loudly declared, “I am the Hundred Battle True Monarch, disciple of the Third Mixed Element Sect, once ranked third on the Human List and eighth on the Earth List!

Young man, state your sect; I do not kill the nameless.”

“Gu Wen, apprentice of the methods of Upper Pure, without sect or school, ranked tenth on the Human List and fifth on the Earth List.”

Gu Wen’s voice was calm, conserving his strength amidst life and death combat.

Around them, people from various factions gathered again.

Some stood on the distant city walls looking down, others stood on rooftops a few miles away, with those bold and skilled directly observing from within a hundred yards.

Lu Chan gracefully landed on the rooftop, her snow-white skin striking against the black tiles, just as a handsome, pale-faced young master landed nearby.

“Young Master Hee of the ninth rank?”

The handsome young master nodded slightly and said, “I’ve seen the Fox Fairy.”

Though they were strangers, the battle below had already begun.

Old and new talents of the heavens clashed for the first time, with newcomers challenging the seasoned True Monarchs.

Bang!

Gu Wen and Wenren Wu moved faster than the wild wind, swift as the wind, clashing like thunder.

Not at a disadvantage?!

The young talents looked on in astonishment; they were just beginning to understand how strong Gu Wen was, ranking among the top talents

of his generation.

But even with high talent, there should be limits.

After all, his opponent was a True Monarch, a combat-savvy Military True Monarch.

Lu Chan’s eyes shone.

Unskilled in close combat, she turned to ask, “Young Master Hee, how would you fare against a True Monarch?”

Young Master Hee didn’t answer at first, gestured for payment, and then, taking a Pill, finally replied, “Against hum, I wouldn’t last ten moves.

The Hundred Battle True Monarch uses his body as formation, can reverse any situation, and the military method is intrinsically suited for close combat.

Additionally, as a Body Refinement practitioner, I cannot compensate for my shortcomings.”

“And Gu Wen?”

“He would die; his spear technique is purely lethal.”

“So Gu Wen surpasses the True Monarch?”

Lu Chan’s eyes sparkled; she saw in him the shadow of another, the Tao Child of the Sanqing Taoist Sect.

Young Master Hee shook his head, “Gu Wen is not yet a match for the True Monarch, still at a disadvantage, but my True Monarch knows the Hundred Battle True Monarch, and I don’t know Gu Wen.

The Fox Fairy should know, the shod fear the barefoot, and if he challenged me, I would definitely concede.”

“….”

Lu Chan was speechless; she understood the importance of background, but Young Master Hee had an aloof face for nothing.

Boom!

For the first time, the two combatants below separated from their entangled fight and then collided like two fiery meteors, exerting all their strength.

Spear against halberd, warrior against general, they displayed the utmost skill of long weapons.

Above them, a divine finger descended again, as a yellow dragon soared to meet the sky.

—————–

Yu Hua rode the White Dragon Horse at high speed through the sky.

Flight in the Immortal Land was challenging; the horse’s hooves continuously bled, and occasionally, rays of golden light shot toward them from a distance.

This was already a battle at the level of the Third Realm outside, yet it was taking place in the Immortal Land.

It was madness, sheer madness!

Old Donkey couldn’t imagine how powerful the Lord Emperor was outside.

He himself was a True Monarch, but the other’s strength was so great that he could barely comprehend it.

He couldn’t even begin to imagine Yu Hua’s power or the depth of the Immortal’s power within her.

The difference between the Four Realms was like that between mud and clouds; the levels above the Four Realms were like chasms in the heavens, immeasurable.

The distinctions between realms were divided into ranks of three, six, and nine, with immortals and mortals not even on the same level.

Mud piled into a mountain could not turn into clouds.

“Yu Hua, you and I should not be enemies,”

said the voice of the Lord Emperor.

Yu Hua responded bluntly, “I just need to take him with me.”

“That’s not in accordance with the agreement.

He must stay in Bianjing and become the Crown Prince of Daqian,”

the Lord Emperor retorted, not only because of Gu Wen’s talent but also because he needed a lever to balance the Taoist Heavenly Girl.

If the Guardian’s identity was not in his own hands, then he would have nothing to do with the Immortality Pill.

With no benefits to gain, he would also leave behind a major risk.

“I shall treat him as my own, imparting all my knowledge.

Once this period in the Immortal Land is over, he will naturally be free.”

“Get lost!”

Yu Hua’s voice inevitably carried a hint of murderous intent, this having touched her sore spot.

This was the uncut jade she had discovered and nurtured.

She believed that Gu Wen would inevitably retrace the path of her mentor and surpass all contemporary True Monarchs.

The Lord Emperor apparently saw some hints of this and thus wanted to pick the fruits of her labor.

But Yu Hua had witnessed Gu Wen’s growth firsthand.

Without seeing it with her own eyes, she couldn’t have imagined someone advancing to the third level of Dao foundation in just half a year.

Anyone who tries to take him from her would die!

“Yu Hua, I only want to pass on my legacy to him to neutralize the karma; I don’t have to take him as my disciple.”

“Get lost!”

“Yu Hua, why go to such lengths?”

The Lord Emperor’s voice sounded a bit dejected; he understood that a young person might be eager, so there was no point in being upset with him.

By forcefully keeping the other party here and continuously offering affection, he could gradually tame him.

But why was Yu Hua as furious as Gu Wen?

He had already compromised, almost to the point of saying, “Give me a chance to make it right.”

Even Old Donkey thought it was a bit much.

The Lord Emperor was no ordinary person, and the request he made had no downside for them.

But he was slightly different from other True Monarchs.

As a gatekeeper of the Sanqing Taoist Sect, what he saw most every year was a bunch of young people deeply in love.

Once emotions were involved, people became unreasonable.

And at this time, it wasn’t about right or wrong; it was about choosing sides.

Why would the Three Pure Ones’ Divine Beast side with Yu Hua and help the Lord Emperor if not insane?

Old Donkey communicated telepathically: “Leave right or wrong for later, Little Ancestor, but remember one thing—if offended, kill without leaving any chance!”

“Understood.”

Yu Hua nodded.

Suddenly, a beam of white light shot straight into the sky from the direction of Bianjing, piercing the barriers of the Immortal Land.

—————–

In the palace, the Pill Furnace blazed fiercely.

For ten years now, the Lord Emperor had continuously thrown Spiritual Medicine into it.

A thousand years ago, he had learned of the existence of the Immortality Pill.

Therefore, to devise plans for obtaining the Immortality Pill, he sold off his doctrine, exhausted the affection of relatives and friends, and established Daqian in the Immortal Land.

The presence of the Heavenly Girl from the Three Pure Ones, which implied the power of an Immortal, was the first upheaval.

Gu family’s only son, hidden for five years, reaching the third level of Dao foundation, was the second upheaval.

“The world is impermanent, but the result remains the same.”

Two Imperial Decree wooden plaques lay in front of the Lord Emperor, one white and one black.

The white could carry messages out of the Immortal Land, directly to Sanqing Taoist Sect headquarters, costing the value of thousands of medicine fruits.

The black could resound through heaven and earth, piercing through the Nine Netherworld and Nine Heavens, from the Human Race’s Earth Realm to the Jianmu monster sea, from the netherworld to beyond the skies, valued at half a Taoist Soldier.

The Lord Emperor’s greatest leverage in dealing with the Sanqing Taoist Sect wasn’t the Guardian’s token, but the two wooden plaques in front of him.

He picked up the white Imperial Decree and waved it out of the Immortal Land.

The Daoist Sect would help him block the Taoist Heavenly Girl.

If that failed, he would call for the True Monarchs worldwide to join forces.

The name he bore in the past struck awe across the world, almost suffocating all beings.

When the three great holy lands of the Daoist Sect—Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing—united, the Four Land Buddhist Sect of the Buddhist Sect and the Nine Abysses, Eighteen Caves of the Demon Sect were reduced to just Four Abysses and Eight Caves, and their Jianmu monster sea of 108 Grotto Heavens was reduced to just 36 Grotto Heavens.

His survival in the current era meant for contemporary strong beings, it was as if the great Dao were about to break.
