" The woman in red turned a deaf ear. The Vermilion Bird she had become was extremely fast, flying straight for the gateway of Qingyun Heaven.
When she reached the green light, she plunged into it. But the green light churned—she had run into a great net and been caught in it.
The Vermilion Bird struggled desperately against the net but could not break free. Around the net stood four old Daoists, each pulling a corner, trapping her.
Dao Lord Lin Xuan opened his Yin-Yang Dao Eye to look.
The net's construction was extraordinarily subtle, containing a supremely profound mastery of the arts of number, and he could not stop praising it. "Qingyun Heaven works in the macro branch of the arts of number; its accomplishment on that macro scale surpasses the Jingping Dao school by who knows how much. " He was delighted and said to Daoist Zha beside him, "Our own school, on the other hand, has attainments in the Taiwei Calculation Canon that they cannot hope to match.
If the two are combined, it will be a great blessing for Jingping's Dao arts! " Daoist Zha hesitated, then tested, "Dao Lord, it is still hard to say whether Qingyun Heaven is friend or foe.
How can you be so certain that Qingyun Heaven will help our Dao school? After all, our Jingping Dao school was founded by outcast disciples of the Heavenly Court's Dao school.
.
. " "Cult Master Shen can definitely handle it! " Lin Xuan said with full confidence.
Daoist Zha scratched his black-and-white-streaked hair and thought, "Are you the Dao Lord, or is he? Your faith in that Cult Master of the Dark Demon is a little too high. .
.
" In the sky, the figures of Shen Mu and Xiao Chunfeng rose higher and higher. Xiao Chunfeng's strength was not to be underestimated, and his attainment in the arts of number was frighteningly high.
After all, he was a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and a true heir of the Heavenly Court's Dao school. Even though he had never received the Dao Ancestor's personal instruction, his achievements were still extraordinary.
What he used was not swordplay. The Jingping Dao school's signature art was the Fourteen Chapters of the Dao Sword, the sect-guarding sword art that every generation of Dao Lords had to study and comprehend.
Its cultivation method was the Innate Grand Mystery Art, which had originally been incomplete until Daoist Zha brought back a Daoist cultivation method from the Kaihuang era and completed it.
But both the Fourteen Chapters of the Dao Sword and the Innate Grand Mystery Art were only two among the thousand arts and ten thousand methods of the Heavenly Court Dao school. The Dao Ancestor founded the Dao school with the purpose of explaining all things in the universe and the great Dao of heaven and earth through the arts of number. The Dao Sword was only one of these arts, and the Grand Mystery Art was only one technique, not even among the highest Emperor's Seat arts. Even so, Dao Lord Lin Xuan could be called the most outstanding genius of Jingping.
In his younger generation, only a handful could match his strength. What Xiao Chunfeng had learned, however, was the most orthodox practice of the Heavenly Court Dao school—the complete arts of number—and with the best teacher, and being himself the son of the Lunar Star Lord, a demigod of extremely high blood, his strength stood out among his peers in the Heavenly Court and surpassed even the Four Emperors' disciples.
The two maneuvered through the sky. The arts Xiao Chunfeng used were of great interest to Shen Mu. Behind this young Daoist, a divine bridge floated in the air, reaching into the void, and his primordial spirit stood upon that bridge.
