269: Chapter 141 Discussing Dao Attacks _2 269: Chapter 141 Discussing Dao Attacks _2 He had to carefully plan, and it just so happened that the Vermilion Bird Peak was organising a Golden Core Celebration for Li Ke.
He intended to get closer to Li Ke during the Golden Core Celebration and then look for an opportunity to negotiate if he could ask Li Ke for a favor, to help him stage a performance.
However, at the Golden Core Celebration, even before he could get close to her, Li Ke unexpectedly announced that she already had a cultivation partner.
This was the only way out, and now it was also blocked.
With no other choice, he had to avoid his master at all costs and pretend to be in seclusion, practicing his divine skills.
In the end, his master even forbade him from cultivating.
All he could do was to say that he would find a cultivation partner on his own, but his master had blocked him with a single sentence.
The implication from his master was to look at Li Ke, who was clearly so outstanding, yet when she chose her own cultivation partner, she ended up with someone like Cao Zhen.
What if he also brought back such a cultivation partner?
Thus, the right to choose his own cultivation partner was taken away from him, and his master forcibly dragged him to various peaks to find one.
Women…
he really had no interest in women whatsoever.
Heaven knows how he had managed to get through these days.
Fortunately, the Hundred Peaks Sect’s great competition was coming, and he could relax for a few days, but then Li Ke challenged him so early.
Was this not harming him!
Also, the previous instance where his master had dragged him around looking for a cultivation partner was all because of that girl Li Ke.
The more Nie Jie thought about it, the angrier he became, and his gaze toward Li Ke grew increasingly fierce.
Opposite him, Li Ke sensed Nie Jie’s gaze, and a chill gradually appeared on her face.
She thought, I didn’t provoke you, why are you glowering at me!
Neither had made a move yet, but the winds were already howling around them, and the air between the two was violently trembling.
Both of them remained silent, but a terrifying pressure spread from their bodies, soaring towards the heavens.
Behind each of them, layers of platforms, immortal bridges, and golden cores all emerged.
“Ten Great Perfection Dao Platforms, Ten Great Perfection Immortal Bridges, ten golden cores of Great Perfection!”
“Both of them, all platforms, bridges, and golden cores, each had their own phenomenon!”
“This is too shocking.”
Without even fighting, just by releasing their battle strength, they had already immensely shocked the audience around them.
“These are our Hundred Peaks Sect’s two existences, below the Earth Immortal, with ten phenomenal Dao platforms, ten phenomenal Immortal Bridges, and ten phenomenal golden cores!”
“These two, both with Immortal Bodies, Li Ke with the Bi Fang Fire Body and Nie Jie with the Dragon-Elephant Immortal Body!”
Cao Zhen looked at the phenomenal Dao platforms, Immortal Bridges, and golden cores behind the two and his face showed a hint of surprise.
He had been watching the great competition of the Hundred Peaks Sect for three days and had seen countless disciples fight, but in these three days, this was the first time he had seen someone other than himself and his apprentice who had all Great Perfection platforms, bridges, and cores with phenomena.
Especially the golden cores with phenomena, which were extremely rare.
A golden core is a transformation of the inner core, and if there are only nine inner cores, then after the golden core stage, at most, only nine golden cores can be condensed.
If during the Core Formation Stage, no phenomena appear on the inner cores, then even after breaking through to the golden core stage, the condensed golden cores cannot possibly have phenomena.
Of course, even if the inner cores have phenomena, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the golden cores formed afterwards will continue to have phenomena.
In short, if all ten golden cores are phenomenal, then during the Core Formation Stage, there must have been ten perfectly formed inner cores, each with its own phenomena.
Both he and his disciple had their Dao platforms, Immortal Bridges, and cores reach Great Perfection with phenomena all thanks to the pills he had concocted.
These two individuals, however, relied on their own talents.
However, it was normal for each family to have its own genius.
Such genius disciples, within the Hundred Peaks Sect, there were only these two.
Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Deng Qixing of Seven Star Peak, the peak closest to Four Treasures Peak, suddenly spoke to Cao Zhen.
“Yi Sheng, although she hasn’t fully formed her core, has full ten phenomenal platforms and bridges.
She is also an Immortal Body.
I believe that among all the remaining disciples of the Hundred Peaks Sect, Yi Sheng has the most potential to achieve the ten phenomenal Dao platforms, ten phenomenal Immortal Bridges, and ten phenomenal golden cores like these two.”
That’s why he originally arranged for Chao Zi Zai and Cao Zhen to become sworn brothers; he saw Yi Sheng’s potential for the future.
Cao Zhen smiled lightly?
Yi Sheng indeed could achieve it, but not just Yi Sheng, he intended to make everyone within Four Treasures Peak have ten phenomenal Dao platforms, ten phenomenal Immortal Bridges, and ten phenomenal golden cores.
On the stage, the aura that surged from the two combatants constantly collided in the air, causing explosive sounds.
Amidst the thunderous sounds, both of them moved simultaneously.
In Li Ke’s hand, a fiery-red longsword rang out as it was drawn, and from the blade, a vermilion phoenix shadow suddenly shot out with piercing phoenix cries that echoed through the heavens and earth, causing the very void to tremble.
With a swing of her wrist, the fire phoenix, carrying the dazzling blade light, seemed to pierce through the sky, shattering the nine heavens’ clouds, as it thrust straight at Nie Jie.
Where the sword light passed, the sky was suddenly torn apart, as if the sword had split it in two.
Nie Jie’s black longsword came out of its sheath, and as he swung his arm, the sharp edge rubbed against the void, sparking after sparking of fire, and he directly slashed towards Li Ke’s oncoming sword.
In their exchange, neither used divine skills; it was just a simple sword thrust and sword strike.
But what seemed like a simple sword and knife were filled with terrifying power and dreadfully impressive force.
Before the sword and knife even met, the sword Qi and blade light that burst forth collided in the air, instantly producing a deafening explosion.
