Chapter 264: Chapter 179: Those Who Lose to Me Are Crownless!_2

[Yuqing Daoji Sixth Level fulfilled, condensing the Dao Embryo, the Dao Embryo forms a trinity, the central energy vein appears, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top. The Dao Embryo requires a hundred years of Heavenly Marrow, with each subsequent level requiring an additional ten years, totaling four hundred and fifty years]

[Spending a hundred years of Heavenly Marrow, the Dao Embryo condenses]

[Fifty years of Heavenly Marrow]

Within the Qi Sea, a point of spirit light suddenly appeared, like the rising sun, as the massive Primordial Spirit began to contract, transforming from an illusion into the shape of an infant.

The Divine Thought surged fivefold, extending over two hundred miles.

A myriad of insights, thoughts clear as spirit light through the ages, yet in reality, it was just two breaths.

In his domineering presence, Gu Wen displayed the ability to breakthrough in just one breath, sweeping the Qi of the Sixth Five Dao Foundation throughout the entire Grotto Heaven, as if mocking everyone.

Defining what is a genius, and what is a peerless talent.

Baidi Xun’s eyes slightly widened; his breakthrough to the Seventh Level Dao Foundation had been fast enough, but Gu Wen was even quicker, only taking two breaths, more than a thousand times faster compared to his two hours.

More than a thousand times, this is impossible!

Once again, whether human or demon, this thought occurred to all, even Jun Yan and his ilk were stunned.

Previously, Gu Wen’s breakthrough required at least half a day of meditation, but now it was done in just two breaths?

Chi Ling cast a curious glance, appraising Gu Wen. Had she not felt Qingcang’s Power on the Heavenly Girl so clearly, she would have suspected that this was Qingcang reincarnated.

Three thousand years ago, Qingcang achieved Immortality in eight hundred years, which was quite blinding compared to those who plotted for ten thousand years to achieve the possibility of Immortality.

Without scheming, without waiting for the great age of becoming Immortal, he proved his Dao with strength and defied the heavens to become an Immortal.

Now there emerged another unparalleled talent even more exaggerated than Qingcang.

Gu Wen’s gaze shifted to Baidi Xun, wearing a light smile, he said, "Dream on."

At the sound of his voice, he took a step and the Void trembled, the dust behind him instantly exploding into a cavity.

Baidi Xun felt a chill shoot up his spine as a hint of cold light arrived first; his fur fell out, and blood seeped through his tiger skin.

Suddenly, Gu Wen’s figure appeared above him, his hand wielding the Immortal Sword, raised high before plunging downwards toward the spine. Baidi Xun reacted extremely fast, flipping over to dodge and as he twisted, his tail, massive as a millennia-old tree, lashed out.

Like a pillar supporting the heavens, a strike encompassing the universe.

Gu Wen’s eyes flickered as the sword move in his hand changed, lifting upwards, the Immortal Sword sliced open, skin rent, flesh split upon the tiger’s tail.

During the interval, Baidi Xun’s Nascent Soul attacked, the tiny Nascent Soul roaring like a Tiger Talisman. Gu Wen’s Nascent Soul not yet fulfilled couldn’t engage in combat but had to passively endure.

But at this moment, the advantage of the Yuqing Daoji as the most extreme Dao Foundation began to manifest. Initially it was Five Spirit Forms, then the Five Spirits of the Mixed Element True God’s Primordial Spirit, these foundations still existed at the Nascent Soul stage.

The slightest discrepancy, the more it would be infinitely amplified later on.

The Immortal Sword’s dharma form penetrated deep into the Tiger Bone, but just then, a streak of radiant golden light shone brightly, momentarily blocking the Immortal Sword.

Seventh Level Dao Foundation, dharma form of Dao Foundation.

This was what Gu Wen lacked, a gaping chasm that needed to be bridged while stepping across levels.

Previously, the sensation wasn’t so palpable because many mediocrities would stagnate at Dao Foundation Perfection of the Fifth Level. Only after facing top geniuses like Baidi Xun did he gradually understand that missing a single realm might require dozens of times the effort to barely compensate.

Especially after the Sixth Level Perfection, even just a perfected Nascent Soul was extremely difficult to deal with.

Baidi Xun, Dao Foundation of the Seventh Sixth Level, his advantage being the Sixth Level fulfilled Nascent Soul, Seventh Level Dao Foundation dharma form.

Clang!

The Immortal Sword’s dharma form clashed with the Tiger Tail Bone.

Baidi Xun, with a hint of joy on his face, said, "The reason I broke through to the Seventh Level Dao Foundation was for this dharma form. Even your Immortal Sword cannot sever it."

After the previous battle, he reflected and surmised that the Immortal Sword in Gu Wen’s hand was not a true Immortal Sword, because if it were real, he wouldn’t be alive.

Before his words ended, Gu Wen unleashed several dozen furious sword strikes onto the tiger’s tail, each strike targeting the same spot.

Just in a flash, the tiger’s tail severed, and the dharma form of the Immortal Sword shattered too.

Baidi Xun, undisturbed by the pain, shifted his body again to dodge. In the next instant, Gu Wen pursued, his lower leg covered in golden light, raised high and then falling like a whip.

Boom!

The whipping kick, forceful and heavy, crashed onto the tiger’s head. The Golden Light Spell compared neither inferior nor superior to the Tiger Bone Golden Body. Baidi Xun was ground into the earth, the violent impact fracturing the ground.

The fragmented dharma form of the Immortal Sword condensed again, and with a swift thrust, it pierced into the shoulder bone.

The Sixth Level Dao Foundation provided ample Divine Soul power, allowing Gu Wen to use the Immortal Sword twice in succession without exhausting his strength.

Baidi Xun roared to the sky as he struck back with his claw. Gu Wen, as if prepared, drew the Immortal Sword from its scabbard and with one thrust, the Tiger Bone dharma form shattered, an arm raised aloft before finally falling to the ground.

With the Immortal Sword and its scabbard combined, Baidi Xun could not withstand it.

Thump!

Gu Wen’s foot stomped on the tiger’s head, the immense force carried by the Golden Light Spell pressing Baidi Xun firmly to the ground as he spoke indifferently, "I’ve seen many geniuses and dealt with numerous heavenly talents. You all claim to be invincible, unbeatable, and vow to defeat me."

He slowly withdrew the Immortal Sword from behind, its reformation slightly delayed, which felt like a death knell overwhelming everything.

In that moment, Baidi Xun finally felt fear, bellowing, "Ancestors, save me!"

The White Tiger lineage had Immortals before, but they had been uncontactable for years, just like most Immortals, transcending for so long that they ceased to care for their worldly descendants.

However, Demi Immortals were different; some still needed descendants for tasks, such as building Daoist temples.

The White Tiger lineage had two Demi Immortals, one had ventured far into the Void thousands of years ago, leaving no trace, and the other had been slumbering in prolonged quiescence.

A moment passed with no response; if he could return to the White Tiger lineage’s Grotto Heaven, he would find an old White Tiger on the verge of death performing blood sacrifices to extend its life.
