Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

```

"Why are you all looking at me? Don't mind me," Yi Chen smiled wryly at everyone.

While others were observing him, he, naturally, was also observing them.

In the towering ancient hall that over a hundred meters high, the ground was a mess, with several strange combat puppet remnants scattered about, their cut surfaces smooth and even as if sliced apart by a sharp weapon at an extremely high speed.

At this moment, there clearly existed four groups of people, all with astonishing aura.

The man in the serpentine robe with double pupils was naturally Fu Canglong, whose sleeves flew off without a trace, and his hair was disheveled, looking slightly embarrassed, yet he still carried an extraordinary demeanor.

The second was the gorgeously dressed beauty, Li Xianzi, with a green sword that moved around her like a dragon, her beautiful eyes fraught with a murderous look.

The third was naturally the bald Xu Wuxie, wearing Buddha Beads on his head, now with his robe torn into strips, revealing his chest and a long, narrow wound on his face.

The last group consisted of the farmer-like sect leader and the old Daoist with a child's face and white hair, Yueyangzi; the former held a black crowbill hoe, an aura as solid as the ground giving a sense of an immovable mountain, while Yueyangzi looked pale as if he had sustained no small injuries.

Atop the hall, four bronze giant turtles supported a large disk, shrouded in clear light, appearing like an egg.

The focus of their contention was naturally, the two thumb-sized Xuan Yuan Pills on the second disk.

The people had clearly just arrived not long ago and had already fought one round, with the result being that no one could do anything to the others, hence the deadlock.

Because any attempt to seize it would result in an attack from all the others.

"Fellow seniors, you go for the Xuan Yuan Pills. I won't meddle. Let me take away the item on the fourth plate covered with clear light, the Overbearing Martial Qi—how does that sound?" Yi Chen glanced at the fourth plate and immediately brightened up when he saw the items shrouded in clear light.

It was the jade scroll of Overbearing Martial Qi and the accompanying Divine Intent Picture.

This item, placed in the fourth spot, must have been passed down from the ancestors of the True Martial Holy Sect, its symbolic meaning outweighing its actual significance, hence its enshrinement in the hall.

The first one was the fundamental scripture of the True Martial Holy Sect, the "Divine Origin True Martial Heavenly Overlord Fundamental Mystery Scripture."

The third was a golden halberd.

"A junior like you, who is on the list of Dragon and Tiger, is so brazen. Are you seeking death?" Xu Wuxie sneered at Yi Chen.

"Seeking death? Senior, you might be mistaken," Yi Chen, with a smile, walked to one of the two-meter thick bronze pillars supporting the hall, "Senior, I'm not asking. I'm informing."

"I'm going to show you what real power is!"

"Power far beyond your imagination!"

"Pure Yang Holy Seal, Open Heaven's Light!" Yi Chen recited in his heart and suddenly, a tall Daoist with silver hair and eyebrows appeared once more, his presence commanding, his cold gaze directed at Xu Wuxie and the others.

Xu Wuxie frowned, "Kid, your strength is not bad, but it's not enough, if this is all you've got, then just scram."

"You might surpass us in the future, but for now, you're still lacking."

"Don't be impatient, senior. Watch closely and see how my punch gathers many years of cultivation," Yi Chen laughed, and three golden lines on his Golden Core in his sea of qi melted again, his Cultivation Body broke through its limits and rose to eleven meters.

All of a sudden, his figure seemed to freeze in place.

The Strength-Breaking Realm ability started to gather power once more.

At this moment, the aura displayed by Yi Chen caused everyone to frown slightly, such powerful energy already posed a certain threat to them.

This Yi Chengzi, hidden so deep.

The forcibly showy Yi Chen was inwardly panicking, but his face remained as steady as an old dog's.

Unless he activated the Soul Ignition Technique, he was still somewhat lacking compared to these people standing at the peak of the ninth layer of the True Person Realm. If he wanted to successfully obtain the Overbearing Martial Qi, he would have to create some danger first.

The first second, a strong wind suddenly arose within the hall.

The second second, the gusts grew increasingly fierce.

...

"If you're going to fight, then fight. Why dawdle?" Xu Wuxie was getting a bit impatient.

In the fifth second, a speck of golden light emerged from Yi Chen's fist, which soon burst into boundless brilliance.

His fist moved,

with an unstoppable momentum, it slammed against the colossal bronze pillar. In the eyes of Xu Wuxie, who looked as if he had seen a ghost, the huge bronze pillar bent.

The entire hall shook.

"I dawdle because I'm afraid you seniors wouldn't recognize my true strength," Yi Chen puffed out his chest and started bluffing with remarkable ease.

"Kid, it's still not enough. What makes you think you can?"

"Your move must have its limitations, although I don't know what your price is," Xu Wuxie spoke again.

```

Although Yi Chen's punch was far more powerful than he had anticipated, with his craftiness, he still discerned some clues.

"Xu Wuxie, I give you face by calling you an old senior," "Without giving you face, what will you do?"

"With my level of cultivation, I naturally cannot suppress everyone here."

"But with my level of cultivation, if I don't want one of you to win, they simply won't be able to win. Do you believe it or not?"

Yi Chen's ghostly voice carried over; his words sounded like those of a hoodlum.

"Whoever blocks me first, don't blame me for being impolite. I am a man of small tolerance and remember every slight."

"Senior Xu, if you block me, do you believe that with me keeping an eye on you, you won't be able to take a single treasure from this great hall?"

As these words were spoken, the muscles on Xu Wuxie's face began to quiver, and his complexion turned a deep shade of red in an instant.

The bizarre provocation of Yi Chen left Xu Wuxie unable to muster a rebuttal.

With the level of cultivation Yi Chen had demonstrated, he had enough weight for no one to ignore his presence; his strength had already disrupted the balance of power among the four corners.

"I initially thought Lao Feng was boasting, but it turns out Yi Taoist is even more concealed than I'd imagined. Just a single 'Dominant Martial True Qi' is no problem for me," Fu Canglong was the first to speak up, displaying an attitude that seemed pleased to see this development.

Xu Wuxie had previously joined forces with Nunshan Master to deal him a harsh blow, causing him to suffer a secret loss. Now, seeing Yi Chen put Xu Wuxie in his place, he couldn't help but speak up to disgust him, while at the same time, showing goodwill to Yi Chen.

"As long as Yi Taoist swears by his Daoist heart that he will not compete with us for the Xuan Yuan Pill, I have no objections," Nunshan Master also spoke in favor.

"Fair enough. I swear by my Daoist heart, if I break my word, let my cultivation of the 'Supreme Lingfei Pure Yang Origin Dao Scripture' regress to the first level," Yi Chen swore with what seemed sincere gravity, gesturing towards the heavens.

Just as Yi Chen thought the matter was settled, he suddenly heard the previously silent beautiful woman speak up, "Hold on a moment."

"I heard that Yi Taoist has deep affection for his disciples. Wouldn't it be more believable if you would swear on their lives?"

"Miss Li, have you investigated me?" Yi Chen's expression turned cold as he turned toward the dressed-up beauty.

"Taoist's reputation as a young and talented genius precedes him. Having caused such a stir upon stepping out into the world, who wouldn't recognize you?" Despite facing Yi Chen's angry glare, Miss Li remained unaffected and smiled gently.

Damn it, a pernicious woman, and this time I have slipped up.

After locking eyes for a second, Yi Chen had no choice but to do as instructed.

He had actually hoped... to steal a little advantage, but it seemed that was no longer possible.

With silent blessings for Miss Li to forever struggle alone with only a sheet to grasp, Yi Chen quickly approached the fourth tray emitting a pure light.

A greedy gleam flickered in his eyes for but an instant. Yi Chen took out the Dragon-Slaying Sword, and the Yang Ji reappeared.

The pure light enveloping the entire tray lasted less than two seconds before shattering under the tremendous pressure exerted by the Extreme Origin and the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

Yi Chen seized 'Dominant Martial True Qi' and its Divine Intent Picture firmly in his hand, a surreal feeling mixed with ecstasy and surprise enveloping his heart.

"Just like that, it's mine?"

"With 'Dominant Martial True Qi' reducing the need for Deep Red Points essential for my advancement, the thirteenth layer of True Technique is within reach."

"I have succeeded," Yi Chen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Yi Taoist seems quite interested in these martial arts derived from the supreme scriptures of various sects. Could you enlighten us as to why?" Fu Canglong couldn't help but ask.

Jiangnan Circuit and Jiangbei Circuit have always been neighbors, both part of the Zhen'an Office lineup, and they have long exchanged intelligence and letters.

As soon as these words were spoken, even Xu Wuxie couldn't help but glance sideways.

"There is no harm in speaking of this, as long as none of you laugh at me," Yi Chen said with humility.

"With the current upheaval in the world, stirring people's hearts, a ceaseless emergence of demons, ghosts, and calamities."

"In stepping through the calamity of this troubled world, to become a light piercing the dark night, I wish to compile a top-tier martial art that can be cultivated without the need for a spiritual nature. Unfortunately, my wisdom is insufficient, and I collect these in the hope that these stones from other hills may serve to polish this jade," Yi Chen humbly spoke.

"Such a grand aspiration, I wonder if you have achieved any results yet?" On hearing this, everyone showed their respect, perceiving the tall Daoist before them as detached from worldly concerns.

"I'm still compiling...."

"As the senior members here have been holding back for a long time, I happen to have a suggestion. To prevent any mishap, why don't you join forces to break the pure light barrier, and then each resort to their own methods?" Yi Chen suggested, his eyes twinkling with a conniving cheer.

"I will definitely not get involved in the struggle for the Xuan Yuan Pill, rest assured," Yi Chen quickly proposed another devious plan to everyone.

If the others adhered to it, regardless of who obtained the Xuan Yuan Pill, at least he would have two fewer adversaries during the contest for the Holy Halberd Tianwen.
