36: The Dao of Heaven and Earth

"We thank Ice Peak Zhenren for his guidance and enlightenment!"

As Li Xiangyun's words fell, a thunderous cheer erupted from the audience.

It was as if they had rehearsed in advance, their voices perfectly synchronized, but in reality, this was the result of Li Xiangyun conquering everyone with his words.

Li Xiangyun stood with his hands behind his back, surveying his surroundings, his gaze sweeping in all directions, a sense of accomplishment rising within him.

In fact, he only needed to explain the cultivation techniques and knowledge that followed to pass the trial, and no one else would have said anything.

But Li Xiangyun deeply understood that the Jianghu was not about fighting and killing, but about human relationships.

What he spoke of today was enough to plant a seed in everyone's hearts, and when they reached a certain Realm in the future, they would naturally owe him a favor.

"As expected of Ice Peak Zhenren! After his words, my Realm, which had been stagnant for many years, actually showed signs of loosening."

"This trip was indeed worthwhile. It's a pity Brother Zheng didn't come due to business and missed a great Opportunity ~"

"With this lecture, my chances of Breaking Through to Foundation Establishment have increased by several points!"

...At this moment, the square was extremely lively. Some were excited, some regretted, some were thrilled, and some were even acting like madmen..."Haha ~ It's done! I finally did it!"

"Fifty years! This old man has been stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment for a full fifty years, and now I have finally comprehended that trace of Dao Intent."

As he spoke, a Qiankun Creation Diagram suddenly ascended into the sky, depicting the changing landscapes and the cycle of life.

Mo Lingfeng laughed maniacally, tears streaming down his somewhat handsome old face.

"What a Qiankun Dao Intent. No wonder he was stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment for so long." Fire Old narrowed his eyes, slightly moved.

Li Xingyan asked doubtfully, "Is there a distinction between the strong and the weak among Dao Intent?"

"Of course." Fire Old nodded, "You just need to remember this: Time is supreme, Space is king. Without Karma, Reincarnation reigns. Creation is unparalleled, Reincarnation is infinite. Five Elements are dominant, Yin and Yang are above. Destruction is unseen, Strength Dao is paramount."

"Although the Dao of Qiankun is not among them, it is also one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, and not much weaker than these Great Daos. After all, the Dao of Qiankun represents heaven and earth ~"

Fire Old's gaze was profound, "I just don't know if he is ignorant and fearless, or if his ambition reaches the sky."

Li Xingyan was greatly shocked after hearing this and silently memorized these words.

The surrounding crowd was shocked and also moved.

"I've long known that Mo Lingfeng has been stuck at the Peak of Foundation Establishment for decades. I didn't expect him to comprehend the Opportunity for Golden Core today."

"After today, our Southern Barbarian Province will have another Golden Core Immortal Master ~"

...Suddenly, Mo Lingfeng abruptly stopped speaking and solemnly bowed to Li Xiangyun above, "Ice Peak Zhenren's kindness to me is as great as re-creation. Should you ever have a request in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

In fact, it was true, as Mo Lingfeng now had less than twenty years of Lifespan left. If he couldn't Break Through to Golden Core, he would truly die of old age.

And now that Mo Lingfeng had comprehended Dao Intent, he already had the Opportunity for a Breakthrough. Once he officially Broke Through to Golden Core, he would gain a full five hundred years of Lifespan.

At that time, there would be infinite possibilities.

Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that his kindness was like re-creation.

Li Xiangyun, however, felt a little embarrassed about this.

After all, the other party's ability to comprehend Dao Intent was his own skill. Aside from him, there were several other Foundation Establishment Peaks, but no one else had comprehended Dao Intent, had they?

Moreover, the other party had offered the extremely yin wood, and he still owed the other party a promise.

However, Li Xiangyun was still quite surprised that Mo Lingfeng could comprehend Qiankun Dao Intent, but it was only surprise.

After all, his Dao Intent was not bad either!

The reason it was called Ice Glaze Dao Intent was not because it was ordinary, but because there had never been such a Dao Intent before. It was a brand new Dao Intent formed by Li Xiangyun combining Frost Dao Intent and Sword Intent.

He named it Ice Glaze Dao Intent simply because his Dao Intent manifested in the form of ice shards.

It could be said that Li Xiangyun's Dao Intent not only possessed the absolute zero of Frost Dao Intent but also the destructive power of Sword Dao.

Its power was not only incredibly strong but also strangely unpredictable, making it impossible to guard against.

And this was also the reason why Li Xiangyun was hailed as the most promising to achieve Nascent Soul.

After all, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to merge two Dao Intent into one before.

But just as Li Xiangyun was about to leave, he didn't expect the Old Man of Bliss below to fly onto the Dao Platform and loudly say, "What Ice Peak Zhenren said was indeed excellent, greatly enlightening this old man. However, this old man's lifelong wish is to compete with a Golden Core Immortal Master. I hope Ice Peak Zhenren will not hesitate to give me guidance!"

As he spoke, without waiting for Li Xiangyun to reply, he attacked him directly like a coiled viper ready to strike.

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you!"

The surrounding Li Family Elders were greatly alarmed and angrily rebuked him, but they were powerless to stop him.

Clan Leader Zhao and Tian Shanhai, who were below the stage, exchanged glances, then smiled with some excitement, "It's about to begin!"

As for everyone else, they held their breath, their eyes fixed on the scene, afraid to miss a single moment.

They had heard of the Old Man of Bliss's reputation before. It was said that he was extraordinarily talented in his youth and had Cultivated to the Peak of Foundation Establishment early on, but he had been stuck at this Realm for his entire life, unable to advance.

Therefore, he diligently Cultivated various powerful Martial Skills and challenged various Golden Core Immortal Master, hoping to prove that even if he didn't Break Through to Golden Core, he was still no worse than them.

However, things did not go as he wished. His numerous challenges all ended in failure, and instead, he proved to the world the sacred and inviolable nature of Golden Core Immortal Master.

This made him gradually ridiculed by the world, and his mind became increasingly twisted.

Yet, no one expected that the Old Man of Bliss would challenge Ice Peak Zhenren now. This was something everyone hadn't anticipated, but it was also somewhat expected.

After all, Ice Peak Zhenren was currently severely injured, and his strength had greatly diminished.

And challenging Ice Peak Zhenren was clearly the Old Man of Bliss's only Opportunity.

Although it was somewhat an unfair victory, it was still a Golden Core, wasn't it?

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Li Xiangyun reacted in time and dodged the attack.

Li Xiangyun naturally wouldn't force himself to endure this. With the help of his Divine Sense, as long as he wanted to, the other party would never be able to touch him.

After several fruitless attacks, the Old Man of Bliss became increasingly enraged, his old face contorted with ferocity.

Even though he had used all his strength, he still couldn't touch Li Xiangyun in the slightest.

And if he couldn't touch Li Xiangyun, what use were even the most powerful Martial Skills he had Cultivated?

Thus, the Old Man of Bliss began to verbally attack, attempting to provoke Li Xiangyun into acting.

"Heh heh, I didn't expect the esteemed Ice Peak Zhenren to actually act like a coward."

"No! He's even worse than a coward; at least a coward dares to face a strong enemy."

The Old Man of Bliss's old face was full of sarcasm, trying to anger Li Xiangyun.

But he only amused the crowd below the stage.
