Chapter 1738
As Qing Tian Yu'er took out the Tianqing Sword, the strange phenomenon of the starry sea supporting the moon behind her receded like the tide.
The first round of the divine phenomenon showdown has already decided the outcome.
"Sister Yuyao truly deserves to be called a proud daughter of heaven. Her divine body is so strong that only my husband can surpass her among her peers." Yu'er held a water-blue flying sword in each of her six arms. Looking at the slowly dissipating phantom of the Holy Qilin opposite her, she praised loudly without the slightest hint of discouragement.
Despite her initial victory, Lin Yuyao felt no joy, but rather a hint of unease.
She had only met these five sisters twice and knew nothing about their personalities. She was especially worried that Qing Tian Yu'er was very concerned about her reputation—young and impetuous people often couldn't stand losing to their peers, and would easily develop resentment if they made a slight mistake.
Just as she was pondering, Qing Tian Yu'er opposite her had already dispelled the divine phenomenon of "Starry Sea Rising Bright Moon". Her knuckles holding the Heavenly Inclination Sword turned slightly white, but a cold smile played on her lips: "Sister, I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to you in the field of divine phenomena."
She paused, then deliberately raised her voice, a fighting spirit flashing in her eyes: "But how can cultivators like us roam the four seas and eight wastelands with just one method? I may be slightly inferior in terms of divine body and extraordinary phenomena, but when it comes to weapons, secret techniques, supernatural powers, and even the great Dao we each master, I may not be convinced by you, sister."
Lin Yuyao was straightforward by nature, and upon hearing this, she immediately understood—Qingtian Yu'er's temperament was somewhat similar to her own, and she wanted to determine the true strength through a comprehensive competition.
"Sister Yu'er, you're too modest." Lin Yuyao smiled self-deprecatingly, her fingertips lightly twirling in her sleeve. "We are of the same generation, but I'm luckier, being born in the Holy City."
With that, he waved his hand, and two swords adorned with tiny golden scales suddenly appeared in his palm.
The sword's blade is entirely made of flowing gold, and within its dazzling spiritual light, each scale resembles a miniature sacred unicorn scale. Upon closer inspection, one can even see the flowing unicorn patterns on the scales.
The moment the sword was drawn, it blended seamlessly with her aura, and even a faint spiritual fluctuation emanated from its spine, clearly indicating that it had already nurtured a celestial-level weapon spirit.
Two against six, though vastly different in number, their aura is on the same level, like two divine beasts poised to pounce, facing each other from afar.
"In that case, please enlighten me, elder sister." Qing Tian Yu'er raised her voice slightly, and the six Heavenly Inclined Swords trembled gently in her palm. "My swordsmanship is derived from my husband, so you must be careful."
In terms of divine physical phenomena, she may indeed be inferior to Lin Yuyao.
But when it comes to swordsmanship, the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first"—as the first woman to meet and fall in love with Chen Xuan, her understanding of him went far beyond mere romantic feelings.
Spending their days and nights together, the two often practiced swordsmanship under the moon, exchanging insights and even receiving the Dao from Chen Xuan through "one finger transmission."
That "one-finger transmission" is nothing short of heaven-defying, allowing one to share their insights into the Great Dao, the Dao of Sword, and numerous other methods without reservation. Such selflessness is unimaginable for any cultivator—cultivation insights are so precious, who would easily share them with others? But Chen Xuan is an exception.
For this reason, Qing Tian Yu'er's swordsmanship has already reached a high level, even surpassing Xin'er's.
As expected, neither of them would concede to the other. Before the words were even finished, the two streaks of light suddenly converged in the sky above the Northern Underworld Immortal Abode.
"Bang bang bang ——"
"Ding ding ding ——"
“Buzz—!”
The sword's cry was like a dragon's roar, and the sound of the immortal weapons clashing was like thunder, causing the mountains and earth below to tremble slightly.
The two peerless women each wielded their own magical weapons and simultaneously unleashed their supernatural powers of having three heads and six arms and transforming heaven and earth.
Qing Tian Yu'er's six arms swung around, and the six Heavenly Swords wove into a water-blue sword net. The sword light was wrapped with the thunder of the Divine Firmament Great Dao, making it incomparably sharp and deadly.
Lin Yuyao's twin swords flew, golden sword energy tearing through the sky, each strike carrying the domineering pressure of the Holy Qilin.
The magical power, imbued with the might of the Great Dao, raged wildly, slicing the clouds across the entire sky into countless fragments that drifted away like willow catkins.
Of the two, Lin Yuyao is the future and hope of Qilin City, one of the ten holy cities. Since childhood, she has cultivated morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor at the same time. Among the five aspects, she specializes in spiritual phenomena and divine and demonic body refinement.
Although Qing Tian Yu'er was born in a small star world and was merely the daughter of a local king, her luck was astonishing—she met her husband Chen Xuan as soon as she left the small world.
With Chen Xuan's full support, his divine body, foundation, and even the Great Dao he cultivated all received improvements far beyond imagination.
In just a few decades, he has grown from a cultivator in a small world to someone who can rival the heirs of the ten holy cities. Such speed is truly astonishing.
Both of them cultivated both divine and demonic body refinement and qi refinement.
For ordinary cultivators without background or resources, the most cost-effective way to cultivate is to focus solely on the path of Qi Refining.
The Divine Demon Body Refinement is not only extremely difficult to begin, but also requires a massive amount of rare treasures, pills, and divine medicines to break through; moreover, due to the strength of the physical body, the resources required to break through to a higher realm in the Qi Refinement path far exceed those of a single Qi Refinement cultivator.
Therefore, those who can cultivate both to the Void Realm or even the Primordial Spirit Realm simultaneously are either from formidable backgrounds or extremely lucky to be nurtured by powerful sects.
After a fierce exchange that lasted only the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, when Qing Tian Yu'er integrated the Divine Firmament Dao into her swordsmanship, and the six Heavenly Inclined Swords transformed into six blue thunder dragons, Lin Yu Yao's already barely sustained sword momentum instantly collapsed.
In the second round, Lin Yuyao lost.
The two then competed in magic and secret arts, their battles nearly evenly matched. However, with Chen Xuan's strong support and meticulous training, Qing Tian Yu'er's overall combat strength ultimately surpassed Lin Yu Yao's by a significant margin.
After the battle, Lin Yuyao shook her head slightly, looking at Qing Tianyu with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She had thought that it was already remarkable that Chen Xuan could emerge from such a small planet and possess such formidable strength, but she never expected that even his Daoist partner would display a comprehensive strength that surpassed her own.
However, Lin Yuyao was not one to easily admit defeat. Seeing Qing Tianyu'er cupping her hands in a gesture of acknowledgment, she immediately raised her hand to interrupt, "Sister Yu'er, there is still one thing we haven't compared."
Qing Tianyu'er, and even Piao Xue, Xin'er, Zi Mo, Tian Xing and the others watching below, were all stunned. The two had been competing in everything from divine phenomena, swordsmanship, magic, secret techniques to the Great Dao. It seemed that they had already competed in everything they could, so how could there be anything they had missed?
Just as the women were wondering, Lin Yuyao closed her eyes slightly, and when she opened them again, two streams of transcendent immortal energy suddenly appeared around her.
The ethereal aura was a blend of white and blue, white as solidified cream and blue as jade, faintly exuding a mystical aura of life and death, and carrying a transcendent and ethereal meaning, even the surrounding air seemed to be cleansed and made incomparably pure.
"Sisters, there's still one thing we haven't compared, and that's the Dao of Immortal Qi." She looked at Qing Tian Yu'er, her fighting spirit rekindled in her eyes.
However, when the women saw that she was surrounded by two ethereal auras, they all remained quite calm.
Seeing this, Qing Tian Yu'er also slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and then stepped into the sky again, standing opposite Lin Yuyao, and said with a smile: "Sister, I think there is no need for a contest of immortal energy?"
Lin Yuyao was taken aback upon hearing this: "Why?"
"Hehe." Qing Tianyu chuckled lightly, and with a slight thought, two auras rose around her—one was a pale blue immortal aura like a lotus in its first bloom, flowing with the meaning of endless life; the other was a dragon-transforming immortal aura shimmering with golden scales, wrapped with the majestic power of a dragon rising from the abyss.
They were actually two strands of transcendent immortal energy!
"How is this possible?" Lin Yuyao's pupils shrank sharply, her expression changed several times in an instant, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
She cultivated in the Holy City since childhood, and with the double blessing of talent and resources, she was able to condense two strands of transcendent immortal energy. But the other party was only born in a small world, how could he have such a foundation?
