Su Yi was rather surprised.
He had not expected Daoist Lu Shi to have already mastered the four powers of rule—Taiyi, Taiyin, Taisu, and Taixu.
As if seeing through Su Yi's thoughts, Lu Shi shook his head. "I borrowed these powers of rule from others. They were not comprehended or controlled by me."
As he spoke, he said with self-mockery, "Though I set foot upon the Eternal Pathways in the earliest years of the God Domain, I have never obtained a single one of the Five Innate Great Beginnings."
"It truly is... a case of ill-fated timing."
Su Yi said, "And you think I'll help you?"

His gaze was clear, his bearing calm and confident. As his Daoist robes drifted, an intangible sword intent surged forth, transforming into resplendent, profound purple sword flowers that continuously bloomed, withered, shattered, and began anew around him in an endless cycle—strange and mysterious.
An incisive, bone-piercing sword intent had appeared in the void, gathering without being released.
Luo Qingdi's pupils contracted. What a wondrous sword aura! Though only a trace had been revealed, its power was already far beyond that of an ordinary Nine Refinement God Lord!

This was an utterly tyrannical sword intent.
Merely sensing such an aura caused Su Yi's vital energy to begin circulating in silence as though provoked, while the sword power throughout his body stirred restlessly!
Su Yi had to admit
