Taiyi Dao Fruit

At the break of dawn, a round Great Sun traversed the sky ahead of the sun, crossing nearly half of Yong Province in a short time, approaching Qi Mountain County.

Before entering its territory, the rapidly rising temperature and light caused the Jiang's Ancestral Land to rile up its troops, as two sword lights simultaneously soared into the sky.

The swords divided into Yin and Yang, mutually creating and complementing each other, and in an instant, shot forward at near-light speed, intercepting the Great Sun from the west.

Only to see in the sky a glaring radiance rise abruptly, as the dazzling Great Sun Light collided with the Near Light Sword, True Sun Fire exploded into a sudden Flame Flow, covering the surrounding, leaving the sword light with no place to escape.

Yet, the Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword was not ordinary, as the twin swords converged, Yin and Yang bloomed and faded, birthing thousands of sword qi, forming into two Sword Qi Dragons.

"Boom!"

The exceedingly Yang and fierce True Sun Fire burst, as the Sword Qi Dragons crisscrossed to attack, twisting toward the Great Sun.

Under the twin swords' onslaught, even the True Sun Fire wavered, the central fireball reflecting the shadow of the Golden Crow creaking open, revealing Jiang Liuguang's true self.

However, at this moment, a golden sword light broke through the void.

"Prajnaparamita."

The Wisdom Sword shot forth in the blink of an eye, unfalteringly striking the intersection point of the crisscross Sword Qi Dragons, breaking their sword momentum. Then, the Heavenly Divine Light descended, conforming with Yin and Yang as well, scattering the Sword Qi Dragons.

The Yin Yang Dual Swords emerged amidst the chaotic sword qi, letting out a sword sound, swiftly flickered, and vanished into the sky.

A Daoist slowly descended from the air, with the Yin Yang Dual Swords hovering around him.

At the same time, two Buddha Lights descended to the left and right of the Great Sun, revealing the figures of Manjusri and Guanyin.

"Daoist Master Guang Cheng's Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword is as formidable as ever, if it weren't for my presence, Brother Liu Guang might have suffered a loss."

Manjusri reached out and grasped the returning golden sword light, chuckling lightly, "But, is there only the Dao Master alone?"

Indeed, it was just one man, facing three third-grade individuals.

Though there was Jiang Liuguang, newly advanced to third grade, there were also Manjusri and Guanyin, old third grades. Especially Manjusri, who had ascended a hundred years prior, back when Buddha Country spread its Buddhist Law to the East, it was because of the presence of another third grade besides the Awakened.

Over the passage of a hundred years, added with Buddha Country's advantageous Dao Fruit deductions, capable of enhancing integration progress through incense harvesting, Manjusri undoubtedly was a Third Grade Perfection.

"Only this poor Daoist, isn't that enough?"

Daoist Guang Cheng faced the three third grades, including his renowned rival Manjusri, yet he was unafraid, instead letting out a long laugh, saying, "If you three still suffer a loss here, it would be truly humiliating."

Three against one; winning wouldn't be commendable, losing would be shameful.

Normally, at times like this, the opposing side would fear losing face and choose to duel Guang Cheng Daoist one-on-one, but unfortunately, they were all sly as foxes, having read the "Strange Tales," such provocations wouldn't work.

Manjusri had ascended a hundred years ago as a third grade, and he was part of the Sixth Brother, hard to say whether during Karma Tathagata's emergence he provided convenient negligence to the enemy.

Though Guanyin ascended in the recent decades, having not engaged much in Sixth Brother behavior during this period, she surely wasn't truly a compassionate living Bodhisattva.

As for Jiang Liuguang... the Jiang family's higher-ups were all veterans in politics.

"Amitabha," Manjusri intoned the Buddha's name, saying, "Forms beyond form, clouds are not empty. We ordained long have seen through fame and fortune, Dao Master intends to manipulate us with reputation, you underestimate us too much."

Low EQ: Shameless.

High EQ: See through fame and fortune.

As long as I don't care about fame and fortune, you cannot use these to bind me.

The implication, naturally, is either you challenge us three alone, or we three challenge you alone.

As the words fell, Daoist Guang Cheng had already drawn the Yin Yang Sword again, with the sword emitting torrents of light, so fast even third-grade individuals struggled to track its trajectory, only with the Yi Dao Technique predicting intentions could they block it.

At nearly the same instant, wisdom manifested as Round Light behind Manjusri, sword in hand divided into sword shadows, like a peacock spreading its tail, blocking all the sword light.

Guanyin remained shrouded in Divine Light, refining Separation and Union Divine Light into Yin and Yang, originating from the same source as the Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword, thus safeguarding herself.

But Jiang Liuguang...

Jiang Liuguang is crucial!

The rushing sword light traversed like a great river, crashing like waves upon the Great Sun, instantly raising countless Golden Flames.

The Yin Yang Two Extremes Sword was purely a Qi Sword, without material existence, hence despite its near-light speed, it was hard to utilize speed's reinforcement on lethality, but as a third-grade expert and master of Yuxu Temple, the Qi of Daoist Guang Cheng was not ordinary either.

Yuxu Temple's Qi Weapon Technique refining solid into void could rival Kunxu Immortal Palace's "Heaven's Blade."

In a flash, the Great Sun was about to be submerged by the river sword waves, even with Jiang family's reckless "Qi Tomb," and the domineering True Sun Fire, difficult to refine all sword light in short order.

Too fast, too fast to react, and the Qi Weapon was strong enough not to be swiftly refined.

"Wind Movement, unite with Heavenly Phenomenon."

Manjusri wielded the sword, merging Wind Qi with Heavenly Qi, uniting Wind Movement with Wind Union, his body following the sword, riding the wind back to heaven, blocking before the Great Sun, Prajnaparamita Wisdom Sword split into countless sword shadows, cooperatively spinning as a sword wheel, the river of sword light was momentarily stalled, with numerous sword shadows shattered.

Yet behind that great river, another sword light struck.

"Golden Qi Kill."

Manjusri calculated with "Gui Cang Yi," Prajnaparamita Wisdom Sword revealed exquisite transformations, fierce and sharp killing intent transformed into brilliant sword light, sweeping across the sky.
