Chapter 1160: Chapter 730: Celestial Dragon Nine Transformations
On the Dharma Platform, Gao Xuan and Xuan Ye stood facing each other. Although neither side had made a move, the atmosphere was already at its most tense.
The cultivators around them were wide-eyed. For most cultivators, this was an excitement rarely seen in a thousand years.
The Celestial Dragon Dharma Assembly takes place only once every three thousand years.
Xuan Ye is the head of the Eastern Province Buddhism, second only to the East Sea Dragon King Ao Dongcheng in terms of status and identity.
Such figures are usually difficult to meet in person, let alone see them in action.
Gao Xuan is a powerhouse who has recently gained fame far and wide. Many say Gao Xuan is the strongest in the Cyan Celestial Realm!
The title of the strongest certainly draws a lot of enmity!
The East Sea Dragon King has dominated the Eastern Province for tens of thousands of years, but he never dared to proclaim himself the strongest.
This suddenly emerged Gao Xuan is reportedly just a Ninth Grade Celestial Master. Even if he swept through the Northern Province, he doesn’t remotely qualify to claim the title of the strongest under heaven.
Many cultivators are very dissatisfied with Gao Xuan, but no one would rashly challenge someone at the Human Immortal level.
So when Xuan Ye suddenly challenged Gao Xuan, everyone was greatly shocked and the atmosphere of the assembly reached its climax.
On the Dharma Platform, Xuan Ye suppressed all distracting thoughts. Though forced by the Dragon King to reach this point, he had no possibility of turning back.
Only by defeating Gao Xuan would there be a way to survive.
Xuan Ye had personally witnessed Gao Xuan’s victory over Jin Xiang, and his memory of Gao Xuan’s powerful body was particularly vivid.
Gao Xuan could suppress Jin Xiang with his body alone, not to mention his various unparalleled divine techniques.
Xuan Ye clearly knew that ordinary divine artifacts and magic posed no threat to Gao Xuan. To defeat Gao Xuan, using the strongest divine artifact was the only chance.
There was no need for any useless probing. These would not only waste time but also expose one’s own weaknesses during entanglement.
Without hesitation, Xuan Ye directly activated Celestial Lotus Sect’s strongest divine artifact, the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror.
The Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror is a bronze mirror the size of a palm, with a golden lotus engraved on the front. The back has six interlocking rings.
The Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror has another name: Reincarnation Disc.
Activating the front of the mirror causes it to be the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror. Activating the power of the back of the mirror, it becomes the Reincarnation Disc.
Having refined the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror for thousands of years, Xuan Ye was already exceedingly skilled in its use.
Under the activation of his divine soul, the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror shone with golden light, and a huge golden lotus flower appeared from thin air.
The golden lotus divided the space, completely enveloping Gao Xuan.
The giant golden lotus was self-contained but did not block external view. The cultivators around could still vaguely see Gao Xuan and Xuan Ye inside through the translucent golden lotus.
This kind of spatial change was marvelously unique. Most cultivators couldn’t understand the changes within. Only a few top cultivators could somewhat discern the intricacies.
Bai Yunsheng from the Daoist Sect said to Jiang Yumei, "The Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror is a world unto itself, but what’s changing inside?"
Jiang Yumei shook her head, "This is a Buddhist Sect’s supreme treasure, every time it’s used, it can annihilate the enemy. Outsiders cannot know the treasure’s true power. This time using it publicly, we might get a peek at its power."
She looked at Jiang Yuelan beside her, "Did you notice anything?"
Jiang Yuelan thought for a moment and said, "The Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror has two different foundational laws. The space inside the Celestial Lotus should be able to block all external force changes. The other transition is deep and unfathomable, I can’t see through it..."
She was born with extraordinary spiritual quality and could see aspects of the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror’s law changes just by observing Xuan Ye’s use of it.
Bai Yunsheng and Withered Wood were both surprised, knowing Jiang Yuelan was a powerhouse reborn with the Celestial Mandate.
Yet, such exceptional spiritual quality still shocked them.
Withered Wood, due to his status, although curious about the situation inside the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror, didn’t want to ask.
Bai Yunsheng had fewer reservations, asking, "Do you think Gao Xuan has a chance to win?"
From Bai Yunsheng’s standpoint, Gao Xuan being stronger was better. After all, they had already offered him significant gifts.
Moreover, given the dangerous situation on Celestial Dragon Island, having Gao Xuan at the forefront means the Dragon Race won’t have time to harass them.
Jiang Yuelan shook her head, "I can’t say for sure. However, Gao Xuan’s aura is enduring and profound; I’m afraid Master Xuan Ye doesn’t have much chance."
Across the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror, Jiang Yuelan could sense the changes in Gao Xuan and Xuan Ye’s aura.
This was her extraordinarily innate spiritual quality. It was precisely this strong talent that allowed her to learn any magic and divine technique quickly.
Jiang Yuelan could see the dramatic fluctuations in Xuan Ye’s divine soul, all forces converted to the Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror. Like the roaring and surging sea or the erupting volcano, his every move carried grand and sweeping power.
Gao Xuan, in contrast, was like a leaf on the sea or dust suspended above the volcano, unaffected by the surges and turbulence.
This calmness and tranquility revealed Gao Xuan’s deep and boundless power.
In comparison, one was exerting all effort, and the other exerted none, making the high and low apparent.
Jiang Yuelan dared to assert, if Xuan Ye didn’t have special divine techniques, he would inevitably be defeated in this battle.
Among the many powerhouses observing the battle, Dragon King Ao Dongcheng also realized Xuan Ye was bound to lose!
Ao Dongcheng raised his golden pupil using the Dragon Race’s secret Yinglong Eye Technique. This technique could penetrate Yin Yang Candle, illuminating reality and illusion.
The Celestial Lotus Treasure Mirror was marvelous but could not block Ao Dongcheng’s gaze.
Like Jiang Yuelan, Ao Dongcheng’s focus was entirely on Gao Xuan.
Xuan Ye was strong, but only strong. Regardless of his changes, there was a limit.
To Ao Dongcheng, Gao Xuan was the true formidable enemy.
From Ao Ming’s Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword to the Seven Extremes Godslaying Needle, these unusually domineering divine artifacts couldn’t damage Gao Xuan, showing just how terrifying Gao Xuan is.
