"Lord Chen, it's my turn next!"
Realizing that Chen Jingchou couldn't break through his defenses, Lu Guan instantly understood that this was a golden opportunity.
To beat the other party up openly and fairly.
After all, Chen Jingchou's wicked smile clearly indicated that he had this in mind.
Since the other party is unjust, don't blame yourself for being unjust!
Chen Jingchou when Lu Guan pressed forward again.
He dodged to the side while cursing under his breath:
"Well, you're really getting too big for your britches, aren't you?"
'You really think I can't deal with you?'
Well, he really had no choice.
[ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ] is, to put it bluntly, just a Mystery technique used to bully the weak. High-level cultivators use this Mystery to deal with low-level cultivators, and it is virtually invincible.
This fundamentally eliminates the possibility of the opponent attempting to reverse their progress.
However, in reality, his use of this Mystery was already cheating, taking advantage of the fact that Lu Guan was not well-educated and did not understand the mechanism of this Mystery technique.
After all, he had only suppressed his strength to the Inner Landscape Realm First Layer, but his actual realm remained unchanged.
Therefore, he was able to use his superior cultivation level to completely suppress the energy of heaven and earth, preventing Lu Guan from activating it in the slightest.
If his true realm is only the Inner Landscape Realm First Layer, then although [ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ] can seal and suppress the energy of heaven and earth, it cannot achieve such perfection and flawlessness.
In other words, it can be suppressed, but not completely suppressed.
Rounding to the nearest whole number is approximately equivalent to no suppression.
What's the point of this?
Therefore, his Mystery abilities are not advantageous in combat among those of the same realm.
Therefore, they are stronger than those who practice Human Visualization Method without any Mystery blessings.
Only after one's cultivation level has risen can one truly humiliate those of lower cultivation by virtue of one's status as a superior cultivator.
It can be said that it becomes weak when facing strong opponents, and stronger when facing weak opponents.
However, the current problem is that his supernatural Divine Ability, even with his strength at the first level of the Inner Landscape, are completely unable to break through Lu Guan's defenses.
After being blessed by the [ Mountain-Bearing Bones ], Lu Guan's physical body became as hard and smelly as a rock in a latrine.
"Truly a Mystery Grotto-Heaven!" Chen Jingchou wiped the blood from his nose and exclaimed in admiration.
Keep in mind that only the Mystery of [ Mountain-Bearing Bones ] have been revealed so far; the ridiculously powerful [ Drink the Long River ] ability to instantly restore health hasn't been used yet.
In a protracted war, no one in the same territory should be a match for Lu Guan.
Those who practice Human Visualization Method without Mystery, but only possess a certain level of attainment, will be severely defeated by the opponent.
'So, I'm not suppressing my cultivation level anymore!'
It's important to understand that in a real battle against demons, there's no such thing as the opponent suppressing their strength and engaging in a fair fight at the same level as you.
Even when we're exchanging ideas, we can't stray from reality!
Chen Jingchou returned the smile with a sinister grin.
The next second, Lu Guan suddenly withdrew his fist, took a step back, and raised both hands high.
"I lost."
At the same time, a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
Damn it, if he wasn't mistaken, the other side was planning to flip the table and wasn't going to play fair, real-man competition anymore.
If that's the case, what am I still clinging to?
If you don't admit defeat now, are you just waiting to get beaten up?
Seeing this, Chen Jingchou merely clicked his tongue, secretly regretting it, and also stopped.
After all, opportunities to beat up a prodigy before they've fully matured are rare.
After all, given the other party's terrifying cultivation speed, in another year or two, this kid's realm will have skyrocketed, and it will be difficult for him to find such an easy opportunity again.
However, it's not impossible to force an action at this point.
But the result was that instead of forging goodwill, this time it only created enmity.
This was naturally something Chen Jingchou did not want to see.
After all, he's here to invest in advance, not to make another enemy.
"Fellow Daoist, are you really not going to give it a try?"
Chen Jingchou still had an expression of unfinished business on his face, and he coaxed her gently:
"No one should be able to break through your defenses in the first level of the Inner Landscape. Don't you want to see where your limits truly lie?"
Lu Guan smiled faintly and shook his head.
"I don't believe you for a second! What 'testing the limits'? You're clearly just looking for an excuse to beat me up, you wicked old man!"
Seeing that the other party was not taking the bait, Chen Jingchou had no choice but to give up his last thought and abandon his idea of beating up Lu Guan.
On the courtyard wall, several Divine Thought hung openly above it, lined up in a row.
They had been watching the play for a long time, and now they were all as excited as if it were New Year's Day.
"Hiss... Chen Jingchou, that shameless bastard, actually got his comeuppance. It's so satisfying to see."
"As expected of Grotto-Heaven Mystery place, it truly transcends the ordinary."
"To put it bluntly, Chen Jingchou can only bully those below him; he's nothing compared to those in the same realm!"
These cultivators spoke without any restraint, which naturally reached the ears of the two people in the courtyard.
In fact, these individuals did this intentionally.
After all, their cultivation started later than Chen Jingchou's.
In other words, who hasn't been openly and brutally beaten by their opponent before their cultivation level has risen?
And this shameless person even has the audacity to say, "This is all for your own good."
It's absolutely outrageous!
Therefore, seeing Chen Jingchou suffer a setback was extremely gratifying.
Even the way they looked at Lu Guan became much friendlier.
"Well done! Keep it up! You didn't let us down!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan's eyes twitched, and his gaze toward Chen Jingchou became strange.
So this guy's a repeat offender.
Chen Jingchou, however, remained unfazed.
He was already used to that kind of look.
Don't look at me like that. If your Mystery was [ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ], you would also like to humiliate those who cultivate lesser ways, just like me.
After all, he had only made the same mistake that every [ Pacify Mountains and Rivers ] Mystery Master would make.
Putting aside the facts, weren't there other lower-level students I humiliated?
Have I worked hard and cultivated myself properly over the years?
Of course, while he might be joking around and having fun, Old Chen, though ruthless, never missed a single opportunity to offer guidance.
So, although the subordinate who was defeated by him was furious, he still had to accept his favor.
After deciding to stop, Chen Jingchou gave Lu Guan some pointers.
As a seasoned Inner Landscape Realm cultivator, Lu Guan benefited greatly from Lu Guan's insightful advice.
This also led to a clear plan for the cultivation of the Inner Landscape Realm.
If it were displayed on a control panel, it would take him at least several years to comprehend it.
What you save here is all about Cultivation.
This made Lu Guan exclaim, 'Lord Chen is a good man!'
In addition, Chen Jingchou also instructed Lu Guan:
"Cultivating immortality is Martial Dao. Don't rely on your genius to talk about fighting beyond your realm. After all, the gap between two realms in Martial Dao is very small and can be easily bridged by other means."
"But cultivation is different. Each realm is a new world, so if you can defeat those below you, you must."
"True cultivation only extends to lower realms!"
"Of course, those Human Visualization Method are an exception; they are not worthy of being called practitioners."
Although Lao Chen himself is only a practitioner of the Blessed Land Method, it does not prevent him from looking down on every practitioner of the Human Visualization Method equally.
He deeply agreed with the theory that those who practice the Human Visualization Method are not considered practitioners.
Lu Guan nodded thoughtfully.
Just then, a massive Divine Thought suddenly descended upon the Prince of Yan's Residence's residence.
What are you all doing gathered here?
A deep, resonant voice echoed from within my Divine Thought:
"Come to Luo Residence in the north of the city immediately, something has happened!"
