Golden Core Stage Magic Duels
The South Sea Nascent Soul's words were a barbed tongue, both damaging the younger generation of the Heavenly Star Alliance and highlighting their own advantage in relying on Pill.
It also subtly flaunts the unity and cooperation within the South Sea region, as well as the South Sea's confidence in Dao of Alchemy.
The Heavenly Law Ancestor sat upright in the main seat, his wide White Robe robe spotless, his expression calm and serene.
It was as if they hadn't just suffered a defeat.
He stroked his long, snow-white beard, smiled calmly, and his voice, gentle yet clear, resonated throughout the room:
"Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. The purpose of this Dao Discussion Convention is to exchange ideas, share knowledge, and jointly comprehend the Great Dao."
"Victory or defeat is but a temporary gain or loss; how can we judge a person's worth based on a single moment's success or failure?"
"Fellow Daoists of the South Sea, your unity and cooperation, and your complementary resources, are a good thing, perfectly aligning with the intention of our Heavenly Star Alliance to form an alliance with your side for mutual progress."
"Only through mutual victories and defeats can we understand each other's strengths and weaknesses, truly learn from each other's strengths and make up for our own weaknesses, and work together for a better future. This is the original intention of the conference."
His words demonstrated his magnanimity and not only defused the other party's sarcasm, but also showed great composure.
Furthermore, the topic was steered back onto the path of alliance and cooperation, leaving no room for error.
The Nascent South Sea Nascent Soul choked for a moment, his smugness freezing for a second before turning into a cold laugh:
"Both sides have had their wins and losses?"
"Fellow Heavenly Law Tianfa is quite open-minded; well said."
"I wonder if you will remain so calm in the upcoming Golden Core Realm competition. Are you perhaps certain that your Heavenly Star Alliance will win in the Golden Core realm?"
He steered the conversation directly to the main event that was about to begin, and the tension began to build.
The Heavenly Law Ancestor remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the composed Golden Core Cultivator in his own camp.
He paused slightly on Su Bai before slowly saying:
"We'll only know how a junior at the Golden Core Realm is after we fight him. Fellow Daoist, just wait and see."
The conversation between the two instantly drew everyone's attention and anticipation to the upcoming Golden Core Realm duel.
The tension in the air was several times greater than during the Foundation Establishment competition!
This contest, representing the true backbone of both sides, will directly determine the outcome of this Dao Discussion Convention.
It also relates to the influence of the two forces in the future alliance.
The rules for the Golden Core Realm are the same as those for the Foundation Establishment.
Each side fielded sixteen Golden Core Cultivator, who took turns fighting. The winners stayed and the losers were forced to retreat until one side had no one left to fight.
The first person the Heavenly Star Alliance sent was a Sword Cultivator at the Mid Golden Core, named Feng Ling.
The Sword Qi split on the field, sharp and swift, with one flying sword transforming into seven cold stars, heading straight for the opponent.
The South Sea sent a Cultivator who could control three Golden Core Stage Ironback Crocodile Turtle Puppet.
The Cultivator cowered behind the triangular Defense Formation created by the puppets.
Relying on the puppet's powerful defense and the poisonous water arrows it spewed, Feng Ling's Sword Light was constantly being worn down and corroded, and the puppet pressed forward step by step.
Although Feng Ling's sword light was sharp, it was difficult to break through the defense line of the three thick-skinned and well-coordinated puppets. Instead, it was forced into a somewhat disheveled state by the poison water arrows.
After nearly an incense stick's time of fierce fighting, a glint flashed in Feng Ling's eyes, and the seven Sword Light suddenly merged into one.
It transformed into a condensed, extremely fine ribbon, moving with lightning speed.
By cutting in from an extremely tricky angle, it precisely struck the connection point of the central hub of the three alligator turtle puppets!
"Snap!"
With a crisp crack, the core hub shattered.
The three alligator snapping turtle puppets froze instantly and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The Cultivator controlling the puppet turned pale and had no choice but to admit defeat.
The Heavenly Star Alliance achieved its first victory at the Golden Core Realm.
Su Bai watched as Feng Ling, having won, chose to temporarily leave the arena.
It turned out to be a Sword Cultivator from the Feng Family in the past; Su Bai had never heard of this person before.
Could it be that the Feng Family has a lineage of Sword Dao...?
It must be said that Su Bai has not yet taken the stage at this Dao Discussion Convention.
But just watching it, Su Bai felt he had gained a lot.
Human Race Geniuses from Two Great Cultivation Worlds have gathered here, thirty-two from each realm, each with their own unique Divine Ability abilities and techniques.
Even the art of puppetry, which Su Bai had only heard of before and found extremely rare—a side branch of Artifact Forging Path —appeared at this Dao Discussion Convention.
After looking around, Su Bai found quite a few candidates he liked Copy his Talent.
Of course, all of these are secondary to the Heavenly Law Ancestor's Mysterious Tier Formation Talent.
besides.
The Combat Power Han Zhenyuan displayed piqued Su Bai's curiosity about the Water Attribute Divine Ability he used...
The Dao Discussion Convention was still ongoing, and Su Bai had no intention of making a move for the time being, choosing instead to watch a few more rounds.
The main reason was that after exchanging a few words with the Nascent South Sea Nascent Soul, the Heavenly Law Ancestor secretly transmitted a message to Su Bai, instructing him to take the stage later.
In the second round, the South Sea clearly got really angry.
A female cultivator with stunning looks but a sinister gaze entered the arena.
She appeared in a fiery red dress and immediately unfurled a blazing Crimson Banner!
As the banners fluttered, raging flames surged forth, instantly turning most of the Magic Duel Platform into a blazing sea of fire!
The scorching heat made the Cultivator in the front row of the stands feel their skin burning.
The Cultivator Mu Chen, sent by the Heavenly Star Alliance, practiced a pure Wood Element Cultivation Method. Wood can generate fire, but this has become a fatal weakness.
It turned out that the Golden Core Cultivator of the Heavenly Star Alliance made a decision-making error, causing the situation on the field to fall into a disadvantageous position.
Although Mu Chen tried his best to activate the Azure Wood Spiritual Power to create layers of vine shields to resist.
However, due to the elemental advantage and the relentless bombardment from the opponent who unleashed their Law Treasure with boundless Spiritual Power, the attack was ultimately unsuccessful.
He could only hold on for less than half an incense stick's time before a corner of his protective Vine Armor Law Treasure was burned away. He coughed up a mouthful of blood from the backlash of Spiritual Power and admitted defeat with a pale face.
The South Sea has won a game, making it 1-1.
In the following matches, both sides had their share of wins and losses, resulting in a fierce and close contest.
The Law Treasure artifacts shone brightly, and the Divine Ability powers roared. The Metallic Stone Ground was constantly left with deep marks under the violent energy impact, which were then slowly repaired by the formation.
The Southern Sea Cultivator continued to demonstrate the advantages of the "Pill Island" Pill, either by rapidly replenishing their energy or by unleashing brief bursts of power.
The Heavenly Star Alliance Cultivator, on the other hand, have the advantage of a solid foundation, excellent teamwork, and versatile tactics, often finding a glimmer of hope in adversity.
When a Cultivator in the Late Golden Core of the Heavenly Star Alliance had to withstand the barrage of flying swords and the bombardment of exploding Talisman from the Southern Sea Cultivator.
At the cost of a pierced shoulder and a charred back, he closed in and delivered a punch that sent his opponent flying out of the arena, coughing up blood, adding another victory to the Heavenly Star Alliance's tally.
Heavenly Star Alliance is currently in the lead with five wins and four losses.
Within the South Sea camp, a figure slowly stood up.
This person was wearing the most ordinary Blue Daoist Robe. He walked up the Stone Platform step by step, his steps were steady, and his aura was extremely restrained, even appearing somewhat too plain.
It stood out starkly from the surrounding atmosphere, where violent energy fluctuations and the afterglow of intense Magic Duel still lingered.
He gave his opponent a slight bow, his voice calm:
"Lin Huasheng, Alchemist from Pill Island, please enlighten me."
