Chapter 38: Fighting with magic is worse than competing with Taoism
The jade dagger made a clear sound, indicating that it was about to be activated, which made Chen Xiu feel relieved.
He practiced qi at the age of eight and practiced hard for twelve years. He had no shortage of resources since he was a child, and someone had arranged everything for him.
A few years ago, I didn't attend the inheritance stele at Wuyue Temple because I happened to be traveling with the ancestor of the clan to visit a second-level high-grade weapon refining master.
The foundation-building ancestor of the Chen family and the weapon-refining master were old acquaintances for many years, and begged the other party to condescend to forge two magical weapons, a sword and a bracelet.
The two objects were refined according to Chen Xiu's personal characteristics, and his blood essence was added in the process, so when activated, they only consume half the mana of the same level of magic weapons.
With these two magic weapons, Chen Xiu became famous and defeated several monks even in the later stage of Qi refining.
So although I was a little disappointed that I missed the inheritance stone tablet, I have no regrets.
The reason why the founder of the Chen family is willing to pay a huge price to cultivate Chen Xiu and keep him with him all year round to give careful guidance is because Chen Xiu is his direct great-grandson!
In immortal cultivating families like the Bai family and the Chen family, all members of the clan share the same ancestor. However, over hundreds of years, many members of the clan have been in the fifth server for a long time, and the blood relationship is very weak.
His direct great-grandson has a lot of talent, and the founder of the Chen family, who is approaching his end, will naturally try his best to train him at all costs.
Finally, the jade short sword circled around Chen Xiudi, and turned into a long jade sword with terrifying pressure. Just as he was about to slash out, he felt a sudden pain in his mind.
It was as if someone was using a sledgehammer to hit Chen Xiu's brain crazily. His mind was so shaken that all his magic power was dissipated. Blood flowed out of his mouth and nose, and he fell to his knees.
The jade long sword dissipated, and the jade short sword fell to the ground with a clang;
The golden mask flashed, dimmed quickly, and disappeared quickly.
Even the vines and stone walls that trapped Bai Zichen had lost their magical support and turned into a pile of soft roots and sand.
Bai Zichen covered his mouth and coughed violently, resisting the waves of stinging pain in his consciousness. He walked up to the semi-conscious Chen Xiu and knocked him out completely with a blow from his hand.
"The strike of divine consciousness is indeed effective. It is not something that a Qi Refining monk can resist. Ordinary magic weapons cannot resist the attack of divine consciousness..."
In the art of casting gods, it was mentioned that monks with powerful spiritual consciousness can use their spiritual consciousness to suppress people, or even directly attack the opponent's sea of consciousness.
But that is at least a method that can only be used by Foundation Establishment monks, and the God-Forging Technique only has the technique of tempering the divine consciousness, and there is no specific method of using the divine consciousness.
This time, he accidentally encountered something, and he was lucky enough to realize that his consciousness could hurt people a little bit.
The effect is surprisingly good.
Chen Xiu, who had a sharp fighting style and high-quality magical weapons, had no power to fight back and was defeated directly.
This is a real crushing from the realm level.
When the rabbit rises and the falcon falls, one moment it is Chen Xiu who has the trump card to win, and the next moment Bai Zichen turns defeat into victory and wins so neatly.
Such a huge contrast that no one in the Bai family could react. It wasn't until Chen Xiu received a blow from the knife that he collapsed on the ring, and then a thunderous cheer sounded.
"Brother Chen, well done!"
"It's time to dampen the spirit of the Chen family boys. Do you think that Hanxiu Peak is a place where anyone can come to show off their power?"
"Brother Chen takes action and wins easily!"
The skinny monkey clan member shouted loudest and happily, and deliberately glanced in the direction of Bai Ling and Bai Wei.
"How is it possible...Sister, what methods did he use, and why did Chen Xiu lose directly!"
Bai Wei's eyes widened in disbelief. He accidentally raised his arm and touched it. He grimaced in pain.
Bai Ling's red lips parted slightly, unable to maintain her indifferent expression. Every cheer from the surrounding tribesmen seemed to be a slap in the face to her previous prediction.
"I don't know what method... but he obviously practices the most common Changchun Kung Fu, and he doesn't have any powerful magic weapon. Is it true that the top-grade magic talent is so powerful, that it can turn decay into magic?"
Chen Xiu fell suddenly. All the Bai family monks, including Bai Ling, thought that Bai Zichen had used extremely powerful concealment spells to defeat Chen Xiu with one move.
No one thinks of spiritual consciousness.
The person with the highest level of cultivation in the field, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, cannot even reflect the existence of spiritual consciousness.
…
Bai Zichen leaned against the edge of the ring and breathed for a moment. The senior officials of the Bai and Chen families arrived belatedly. The leaders were Bai Xianzhong, the head of the Bai family, and a middle-aged monk who had never been masked before.
Behind him were several people, including the three elders of the Bai family and Chen Yixue, a female cultivator from the Chen family who he had met once in the Five Sacred Mountains Temple.
Seeing Bai Zichen standing in a somewhat embarrassed state on the stage, and Chen Xiu lying on the ground with unknown life and death, everyone was shocked and hurried forward.
The group of people were discussing important matters between the two clans, but it has reached the most critical moment. Only the last few details are left to finalize and it will be completed.
It happened that at this time, another young man from the Chen family who was accompanying Chen Xiu came over and reported that the two sides had clashed in the ring, that Bai Wei had been defeated, and that Bai Zichen had taken over for the second round.
The two patriarchs looked at each other and smiled, and both said they would stop the discussion first to see the younger generation's ability in fighting, and then joined hands.
"Chen Xiu was defeated?"
The head of the Chen family, Chen Yixin, was stunned. On the way here, he was worried that Chen Xiu would be too ruthless and damage the relationship between the two families.
He knew very well how partial his foundation-building ancestor was towards his direct great-grandson. He spent a huge amount of spiritual stones and entrusted two favors to create two magic weapons, just to let Chen Xiu use them smoothly in the middle stage of Qi refining.
Together they are worth a low-grade spiritual weapon.
All the cultivation resources in the clan should be focused on Chen Xiu before the other younger generation of monks can take their turn.
But Chen Xiu, who was configured like this, actually lost to a young man from the Bai family, which made him immediately curious.
Chen Yixue let out a soft cry, rushed to the ring and turned Chen Xiu over. After a good inspection, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's probably due to the backlash of my magic power. I couldn't bear it anymore and I passed out. After a few days of cultivation, it won't be a big deal."
Nothing serious happened to Chen Xiu. Only when they went back could they explain to their foundation-building ancestor.
Chen Yixue stared at Bai Zichen up and down for a long time before calling two monks from the Chen family to carry Chen Xiu down.
"I didn't check it out. It's just because I was in a coma caused by the consciousness attack."
Chen Yixue was only in the late stage of Qi refining and was equally ignorant about spiritual consciousness. Bai Zichen was relieved that the secret of his cultivation of spiritual consciousness would not be exposed.
"Uncle Bai, it turns out that this is Bai Zichen, the Qilin son of the Bai family. What a skill!"
The head of the Chen family, Chen Yixin, received a message from his sister and learned the origin of the name of the boy from the Bai family who defeated Chen Xiu before her, and sighed sincerely.
This is true genius!
"My Chen Xiu relies on his talent in martial arts and has magical weapons at his side, and his vision is boundless. This time he finally saw what it means to be someone outside of others!"
"However, Chen Xiu is really talented in Five Elements Magic. Few people at his age can compare with him. Zi Chen can still win even though there is a gap in magical weapons. He is really a genius in fighting!"
Chen Yixin was sure that it was impossible for the Bai family to spend a lot of money to refine magic weapons for a junior, and this aspect would definitely be disadvantageous compared to Chen Xiu.
Little did he know that Bai Zichen didn't even have a magical weapon.
If I learn this in retrospect, I will be even more shocked.
"Clan Chief Chen praises me, but I don't deserve it!"
When Bai Zichen saw the head of the Chen family commenting on him with a smile, he coughed lightly and took a step forward.
"It's better to compete with Taoism than to compete with magic!"
"We, the monks, seek truth and immortality! No matter how violent the fight is, if we fail to succeed, it will all be in vain."
