77: Lei was punished.

Although Xuan Qing was extremely proficient in the application and development of Laws, he was, after all, only in the Late-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm.

However, in terms of Laws, Xuan Qing still surpassed Fuxi.

With their advantages canceling each other out, Fuxi, a Peak Daluo Golden Immortal being, actually could not defeat Xuan Qing once he became serious.

However, it would also be very difficult for Xuan Qing to defeat Fuxi.

If they continued fighting like this, it would likely take tens of thousands of years to determine a winner.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing, let us stop here. This poor Daoist has witnessed Fellow Daoist's powerful methods.”

“The legacy of a Great Power truly lives up to its reputation.”

“This poor Daoist originally thought I could crush Fellow Daoist with my cultivation level, but I never expected to be suppressed by Fellow Daoist instead.”

After displaying all his methods, Fuxi took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield, essentially admitting defeat.

There was no point in continuing the fight; on the contrary, he saw that Xuan Qing's Aura was growing stronger and stronger.

Perhaps while fighting, the opponent would reach the Peak Daluo Golden Immortal stage.

At that point, he would no longer be Xuan Qing's match, so Fuxi took the initiative to withdraw and admit defeat.

“Fellow Daoist is too kind. I didn't expect Fellow Daoist to be so powerful. This poor Daoist could not defeat you; Fellow Daoist has won this sparring match.”

Xuan Qing did not act arrogantly, admitting his own 'defeat' as well; this was better for both parties.

Seeing Xuan Qing take the initiative to concede, the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings' impression of him became even better.

“Fellow Daoist is too modest. You are truly worthy of being a disciple of a Great Power, with such powerful methods.”

“You have truly allowed us brother and sister to witness the power of a Great Power's legacy.”

“Fellow Daoist overpraises me. However, through our sparring, I have noticed a few issues with Fellow Daoist.”

“I wonder if Fellow Daoist would be willing to listen to a few words from this poor Daoist?”

The weakness of the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings not Cultivating the Physical Body and Laws was now laid bare.

Since Xuan Qing had pointed it out, he didn't believe the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings would not take the matter seriously.

As long as these two siblings cultivated the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body...

Setting everything else aside, regarding Nuwa's future creation of humans, if her Law of Creation were stronger, the Human Race she created would also be stronger.

If the Human Race was strong, then the Dao of Humanity would naturally be stronger.

Although the Dao of Humanity is the path of all living beings, in its early stages, it could only rely on the Human Race.

Xuan Qing naturally hoped for the Human Race to be more powerful.

“Oh? Fellow Daoist might as well speak plainly. We brother and sister will naturally listen seriously to your opinions.”

“In this Honghuang World, among the infinite living beings, most are full of schemes and intrigue.”

“It is an honor for us that Fellow Daoist can point out our deficiencies.”

Both Fuxi and Nuwa looked at Xuan Qing with serious expressions, showing no signs of being offended.

“Then this poor Daoist will speak bluntly. If I cause any offense, I ask the Two Fellow Daoists to forgive me.”

“This poor Daoist simply does not know why the Two Fellow Daoists do not Cultivate Laws and the Physical Body?”

“In my view, the Path of Law is the fundamental path, serving as a Foundation along with the path of the Primordial Spirit.”

“Even The Way of the Physical Body can be Cultivated as a foundational path.”

“Yet the Two Fellow Daoists, in a situation where your Primordial Spirit and Dharmic power cannot advance, actually do not Cultivate Laws and the Physical Body.”

“This poor Daoist finds it very strange.”

Xuan Qing spoke bluntly, pointing out the problem of the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings.

Hearing these words, the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings showed looks of embarrassment.

“The Two Fellow Daoists have now witnessed the power of the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body, haven't you?”

“The reason this poor Daoist could exchange a few moves with Fellow Daoist Fuxi is precisely because of the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body.”

“What are your thoughts, Two Fellow Daoists?”

Xuan Qing continued to add fuel to the fire.

“Fellow Daoist is being too modest; it was far more than just 'exchanging a few moves'.”

“It's just that Fellow Daoist has misunderstood us. In truth, comprehending Laws is simply too difficult.”

“We brother and sister also wanted to rely on the simpler paths of the Primordial Spirit or Dharmic power to quickly Breakthrough in cultivation.”

“We just didn't expect that even with the easily cultivated Primordial Spirit and Dharmic power, we would be unable to break through our Realm.”

“Only then did we give up on Cultivating the even more difficult Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body.”

“This sparring session with Fellow Daoist has shown us what true power is.”

“We will certainly place importance on the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body from now on.”

Fuxi spoke with a bitter smile, never expecting to be taught by a Late-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal being.

But the other party spoke with such reason that he could not refute it at all.

Nuwa also solemnly cupped her fists, realizing her own flaws and beginning to value Law and the Physical Body.

“This poor Daoist sees that the Two Fellow Daoists have indeed recognized your own deficiencies.”

“This poor Daoist might as well reveal one more piece of information to you.”

“My Revered Master Proved the Dao of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm precisely by relying on Laws.”

“Even if one wishes to Prove the Dao of the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, one also needs a Law Breakthrough!”

However, after Xuan Qing spoke these words, a sudden clap of thunder rang out in the sky.

“Boom!”

“What did Disciple Xuan Qing say to actually provoke the slumbering Heavenly Dao into sending down a Thunder Punishment!”

In the Old Ancestor Reincarnations Dao Field, the Ancestor of Reincarnation, who was in secluded meditation, suddenly snapped his eyes open and looked in the direction of Xuan Qing.

He then struck out across the void to shatter that Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment.

It was evident that although the Heavenly Dao had been penalized by the great dao thunder and fallen into a slumber, once a certain mechanism was triggered, the operational mechanisms set by the Heavenly Dao would still function.

Xuan Qing had triggered a certain mechanism set by the Heavenly Dao.

“Hmph! My Disciple Xuan Qing is not for you, the Heavenly Dao, to discipline.”

Having dispersed the Heavenly Dao Thunder Punishment, the Ancestor of Reincarnation looked at the Void Realm and let out a cold snort.

After that Thunder Punishment was shattered by the Ancestor of Reincarnation, no more thunder fell.

Reincarnation also acted to muddle the heavenly secrets to avoid leaking his own information.

At this moment, Hongjun, who had successfully invited Old Ancestor Qiankun to participate in the Dao-Demon Conflict, could not help but frown and look toward the Void Realm.

“What happened? Which being triggered the mechanism set by the Heavenly Dao?”

“No, I must quicken my pace and invite Fellow Daoists to help me defeat Luo Hou and Prove the Dao as a Heavenly Dao Sage.”

“The variables in Honghuang are becoming more and more numerous.”

Hongjun glanced at Old Ancestor Qiankun's Dao Field with a pained expression.

He had invited Old Ancestor Qiankun, and Old Ancestor Qiankun had agreed to Hongjun.

However, for some reason, Old Ancestor Qiankun had followed the example of the Ancestor of Reincarnation and opened his mouth wide like a lion to demand a high price.

Ultimately, after paying two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, Old Ancestor Qiankun finally agreed to help Old Ancestor Hongjun through the Dao-Demon Conflict.

However, even with Old Ancestor Qiankun, Hongjun had only invited three Fellow Daoists.

Hongjun's goal was to invite at least four Fellow Daoists.

Hongjun continued on his bitter journey of inviting Fellow Daoists.

What Hongjun did not know was that before he found Old Ancestor Qiankun, Yang Mei, Five Elements, and Yin Yang had found Old Ancestor Qiankun first.

Based on the principle of making Hongjun lose everything down to his undergarments...

Yang Mei, Five Elements, and Yin Yang had explained the matter of the Ancestor of Reincarnation to Old Ancestor Qiankun.

If Old Ancestor Qiankun really had a reason to participate in the Dao-Demon Conflict, then he should swindle a few more Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures from Hongjun.

Old Ancestor Qiankun indeed took this advice and swindled two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures from Old Ancestor Hongjun.

At this time, atop the immortal mountain where Xuan Qing and the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings were located.

Xuan Qing looked at the Void Realm with a face full of shock; he felt that the Thunder Punishment was specifically targeted at him.

But a powerful existence had stepped in to protect him, striking out to shatter the Thunder Punishment that would have been enough to turn him into ashes.

In the current Honghuang, those who could achieve this were only Ancestor Yang Mei and the Ancestor of Reincarnation.

Xuan Qing immediately thought of his own Revered Master, the Ancestor of Reincarnation.

He silently thanked his Revered Master in his heart.
