However, after walking a hundred paces...
Everyone was then stopped by a vast and powerful pressure.
It's impossible to take even half a step further.
At this moment, Li Bai rose into the air.
Bathed in golden light, he exuded sacred majesty.
The viewers were all deeply moved.
He secretly wondered who this person was.
Suddenly, a long laugh pierced the air.
His voice, imbued with Taoist principles, further accentuated his unrestrained and wild nature.
"A touch of sword intent makes a thousand rivers seem vast, two sleeves of white clouds stretch ten thousand fathoms into the distance."
A meteor, white as a feather, emerges from its sheath; a sword strike leaves no trace, snow blankets the mountain.
Alone I ascend to the heavens, grasping the moon with my hand; alone I descend to the netherworld, treading upon the most desolate places.
Sword in hand, I laugh as the setting sun slants; a single thought stains the mortal world with blood.
Before the poem had even faded, the oppressive aura surged.
Every word was like thunder, shaking the very void.
As the last word was uttered, the energy surged once more.
Breaking free from constraints in an instant,
Reaching a whole new level!
"Half...half a step into mythology?!"
Indra's pupils contracted sharply, and his voice trembled.
"He actually advanced directly from the late stage of the Celestial Realm to this level?!"
As a strong person, he understood this better than others—
Half-step mythology and the peak of celestial beings
It's like comparing heaven and earth!
The threshold for mythology is within reach.
Its combat power is comparable to that of a true early-stage mythical being.
Crushing a peak Celestial Being is as easy as flipping a palm!
He rose to the top in one step!
Such amazing comprehension, such extraordinary talent.
How could this be so defying the heavens?!
I'm going crazy!!
"I never imagined his talent was so terrifying!"
"It seems that after this matter, I should also go into seclusion and cultivate myself diligently."
Xiaoyaozi was secretly alarmed, his pupils contracting slightly.
I felt an overwhelming sense of envy.
Apart from Ling Donglai and Dugu Qiubai,
I will surely become the third person to step into the realm of mythology.
Li Bai, who was always free-spirited and unconventional,
Such an amazing breakthrough was achieved quietly and without anyone noticing.
This put him under a lot of pressure.
More than anything, there was helplessness.
It wasn't out of jealousy for Li Bai's achievements.
It's simply because I understand that person's temperament too well.
If we don't catch up or even surpass them as soon as possible...
He will surely ridicule you in every way in the future.
Chapter 109 Joke
He didn't want to face that smug face.
Although the joke was harmless...
But as the Great Dragon Head said:
Not very harmful, but very insulting!
This suffocating feeling,
He wouldn't want to try it even half a time more!
214 - Kyushu Power Ceiling Ranking - (tied) Thirty-first!
Just as Indra and Xiaoyaozi were both silent,
The martial artists watching from outside the courtyard were already in an uproar.
"My God! Who is this person? The phenomena of heaven and earth during the breakthrough are so terrifying! My legs won't obey me!"
"Don't even mention it! I've never seen anything like this in my entire life! It's absolutely unbelievable!"
"I recognize him! He's one of the five leaders of the Azure Dragon Society, the great Tang Dynasty poet and swordsman Li Bai!"
"No wonder! This spectacle is something I can brag about for ten years! I've truly seen something amazing today!"
"So this is what it's like for top-tier experts to break through? I don't understand it, but I'm deeply shocked!"
"His poem just now reached a new level of artistry; it was so elegant! I'm so envious I'm crying!"
"Such overwhelming pressure... Does anyone know what realm he is currently at?"
Discussions rose and fell, and the whole scene was in an uproar.
The air was filled with a cacophony of voices.
The martial artists were all shocked, their eyes fixed on Li Taibai's figure, almost kneeling down on the spot.
Those with weaker cultivation levels were already prostrate on the ground, their faces filled with reverence.
At this moment, Li Taibai, who had been sitting cross-legged in the void, slowly exhaled and concealed his aura. He sensed the reverence around him and was secretly pleased, but remained calm and composed on the surface. He lightly landed back in the courtyard.
Seeing the complicated expressions on Di Shitian's and Xiaoyaozi's faces, he raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly, with a hint of apology:
"Ahem... The breakthrough was a bit too loud, thanks to the two of you for your help."
Hearing his tone and seeing his undisguised smug expression, Di Shitian and Xiaoyaozi rolled their eyes in unison, their faces full of helplessness.
Li Bai, completely unconcerned, chuckled twice, spread his hands, and sighed:
"Sigh, I understand how you feel."
"I also want to keep a low profile, but my strength is too great."
"I'll definitely be more careful next time."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and revealed a sly smile again, showing no trace of the majesty of the five dragon leaders of the Azure Dragon Society.
The veins on the foreheads of Indra and his companion throbbed, their eyes twitched, and they felt frustrated yet helpless.
"I'll stop here for now. I need to consolidate my cultivation. We'll talk again when I come out of seclusion."
Seeing the two of them like this, Li Bai was satisfied, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Di Shitian and Xiaoyaozi exchanged a glance, both speechless.
After a moment of silence, Indra spoke softly:
"Perhaps we should ask our master to consider replacing the Five Dragon Heads."
Xiaoyaozi nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."
"In that case, we will report this matter to our master after this mission is completed."
The other party agreed.
Indra suggested without hesitation.
"Okay, it's settled then!"
Xiaoyaozi readily agreed.
.............
At the summit of Qinglong Mountain, inside Qinglong Manor.
Ximen Yu was still unaware that Di Shitian and Xiaoyaozi had been provoked by Li Taibai.
He calmly sipped his fragrant tea in the hall.
Those unfathomable eyes seemed to be deep in thought.
A burst of brisk footsteps came from afar.
Five figures filed in.
The visitors were Chuanying, Ligong, and others.
Just stepped into the hall.
The five of them bowed in unison.
"Greetings to the Great Dragon Head."
Ximen Yu casually raised his hand, his tone calm and unwavering.
It's impossible to detect any emotion in your voice.
"What important matter does the Great Dragon King wish to discuss with us?"
I felt an invisible pressure emanating from all around me.
Chuan Ying composed himself and asked respectfully.
A hint of doubt flashed across his face.
Li Gong and the others beside him were equally puzzled.
They were simply intimidated by Ximen Yu's powerful aura.
No one dared to look up and stare directly at them.
"I have summoned you here to assign you a task."
"However, your cultivation levels are still somewhat lacking."
Ximen Yu glanced at him indifferently.
He said it in a flat tone.
Although all five of them have made progress during this period.
But in his opinion, it was still not satisfactory.
"Please give us your instructions, Great Dragon Leader, and we will do our utmost!"
I noticed his dissatisfaction.
Chuan Ying and the other four exchanged bitter smiles.
"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you."
"However, before setting off, let's improve our cultivation level first."
"Alright... I'll have Baoqin take you to the Pill Pavilion later."
