Chapter 286: 174: Zhou Bing Crosses the River
Atop the high platform, Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan looked at the many Daoists stretching their necks to look up at him and said loudly, “However, there is no banquet in the world that doesn’t end. After today’s announcement of the Dao Law, we will all go our separate ways, and we may not meet again for another ten years.
I hope to see all my fellow Daoists in ten years, with further progress in their
Dao Laws and eternal growth in their Immortal Methods.”
Today, as an elder on the path of immortality, I shall shamelessly demonstrate my own Immortal Technique to my fellow Daoists, hoping to inspire you.”
With that, Zhen Xuan’s wide sleeve fluttered as he formed hand seals, standing before him, and said, “Today’s technique, called the Mirage Art, can summon rosy clouds to conceal one’s movements. Watch.”
Bixia flying light, protect my body, Bei Yun command, Rosy clouds come!”
Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan recited an incantation and then pointed his finger at the air. Suddenly, under the golden sunlight, a rosy light came.
The rosy light was blurred as it fell on Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan, and then, like a dream, after a few flashes, the surroundings returned to normal. The rosy light disappeared, and so did the figure of Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan.
The Daoists below watched this scene, and many newcomers were left dumbfounded.
They stretched their necks, widened their eyes, looked left and right, but saw no trace of Ziyun Dao master on the original high platform.
A living person just vanished into thin air in front of thousands of people. The mystique of the Immortal Technique immediately amazed countless people.
Lu Yuan, seeing such a sophisticated invisibility technique for the first time, was also greatly shocked.
Because his top-notch perception and eyesight as a peak expert couldn’t tell how Ziyun Dao master disappeared.
Even now, after vanishing, he couldn’t find the other party’s figure.
“With such a mysterious invisibility technique, if it’s used for sneak attacks and assassinations, I’m afraid there are few people in the world who can escape it, right? Now that I can’t see through the invisibility, I wonder if those Inborn Grandmasters can?” Lu Yuan thought, and couldn’t help but feel extremely cautious.
The mysteriousness of the Immortal Method alone was enough to make many Martial artists feel intimidated.
Think about it, an invisible opponent can secretly sneak up to you without being noticed.
Aside from when they launch a killing blow, you may not even know that there’s another person hiding by your side.
Just thinking about it sends shivers down one’s spine.
“The limitations of Martial Arts are too great. To live well, I must cultivate immortality.” Lu Yuan’s determination to cultivate immortality only grew stronger after thinking about such a scene.
Not for anything else, but to be able to detect someone trying to approach him stealthily in the future, protecting his life.
While he was feeling cautious, Qi Yun, who was next to him, couldn’t help but frown after watching Ziyun Dao master’s demonstration and said, “The Mirage Art performed by Ziyun Dao master this time seems a bit inferior compared to the previous two times.”
Lu Yuan turned his head and asked, “Qi Daoyou, do you think this Mirage Art is not as good as the previous two times?”
Qi Yun said, “Twenty years ago, during the announcement of the Dao Law, Ziyun Dao master showed the Heavenly Fire Art. I still remember that time when the sky was covered with blazing heavenly fire, within a radius of ten Zhang, everything was burnt, and it was unparalleled.
Ten years ago, during the announcement of Dao Law, it was the Thunder Sound Art. Everything within a hundred Zhang was affected by thunder sound, and thousands of Daoists in the field were all convinced.
Although today’s Mirage Art is mysterious and can make one invisible, it seems a lot worse compared to the previous two times.”
After saying this, Qi Yun laughed and said self-deprecatingly, “Of course, it may also be that my realm is too low. I do not understand the mysteriousness between the three techniques and limit my view to my own perspective. This is just idle talk. Fellow Daoist, don’t worry about it.”
Lu Yuan listened and looked at the empty high platform again, pondering, “Perhaps Qi Daoyou is right. This time it might really be worse than the previous two.”
Yesterday, Lu Yuan had read the Taiping Dao Book and had a rough understanding of some of the Dao Laws inside.
Through this, he gained quite a bit of understanding of the spells.
In the Taiping Dao Book, spells were divided into many grades.
High -grade spells need not be mentioned, as they can change the world, with endless possibilities.
Lesser ones, like the Heavenly Fire Art and Thunder Sound Art mentioned by Qi Yun, can wield the power of heaven, and their power is also endless.
Today’s Mirage Art, although it can be invisible and looks quite mysterious, is essentially a smoke and mirrors trick. When encountering practitioners of the same level, it is easy to be seen through and will not have much effect. It can only deceive ordinary people and belongs to the lowest category of spells.
There is also a clear difference between the various spells from high to low.
That is, the spell power consumed in casting each level of spell decreases progressively.
The Thunder Sound Art consumes less than the Heavenly Fire Art, and the Mirage Art consumes even less than the Thunder Sound Art.
‘Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan’s casting of the Dao Law consumes less spell power
than the previous time. Could it be that he is deliberately reducing his spell consumption?’
Lu Yuan thought, feeling that it was highly likely.
The reason was simple.
Now is the Age of Dharma Decline, and even characters like Elder Daoist Zhen Xuan who are sitting in a Cave World find it increasingly difficult to absorb the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth.
The overall trend of the world is that the aura of immortality is becoming less and less, making it harder to stimulate the essence of the sun and moon..
