Under One Person: The Seeker of the Dao in the Lü Family

Chapter 153 "Heaven and Earth Manifest as Law, Young Master Lü, Withdraw Your Supernatural Powe

"Sword, come!"

With a command from Lü Qian and Ding Shian, the two swords stuck in the ground in the arena each shone brightly, bursting out of the ground and flying straight into the hands of the two men.

"Clang!"

The sound of a divine sword being drawn seemed to echo in the arena. The three-foot wooden sword transformed into a golden ray and landed in Lü Qian's hand. With a flick of his wrist, a golden light leaped out from the sword, slicing through the layers of giant waves around him.

"Please grant me the Five Thunder Talisman!"

Ding Shian held the sword in his right hand, and with a flick of his left hand, he produced a cinnabar talisman and affixed it to the sword. Instantly, wind and thunder arose.

The cinnabar talisman transformed into a golden ray and merged into the Demon-Slaying Divine Sword in Ding Shian's hand. The light flowed across the sword, lightning and fire erupted from its surface, star patterns shone brightly, and the sword's edge emitted a sharp and immortal sword light.

"drink!"

Ding Shian brandished his sword and pointed it diagonally. Instantly, a fierce wind and thunder arose on the field, and thick dark clouds covered the entire arena. Within the clouds, lightning seemed to flash, and an intense sense of oppression came from high above. For a moment, Ding Shian's aura seemed to reach the heavens and the earth.

"Fellow Daoist Lü, please go all out and don't hold back!"

On the high platform, several of the Ten Elders frowned upon seeing this scene, and Lu Jin, ever outspoken, asked a question.

"Old Celestial Master, you directly gave the Evil-Slaying Divine Sword to Shima An and even specially gave him the Five Thunder Talisman to sharpen it. Isn't that already going too far?"

"Oh, it's over?"

However, facing the questioning gazes of Lu Jin and the other Ten Elders, the Old Celestial Master stroked his beard, staring at Lü Qian below, and said calmly.

"If I hadn't pulled this stunt, Longhu Mountain would have lost face today."

"That kid was holding back just now. He didn't take down Shima An right away. He was giving face to me and the Celestial Master's Mansion."

At this point, he glanced sideways at Lu Jin, then looked at Lü Ci, and nodded. "Now that we've saved face and the martial arts performance is over, it's time to get to the real stuff."

"Look, here comes that kid."

As he spoke, the old master pointed at Lü Qian below the stage, a look of surprise flashing across his eyes. The other ten elders looked over, their faces also showing shock.

"roar--"

As soon as he finished speaking, as if in response to the old celestial master's words, a long and loud roar suddenly rang out in the arena, like a mythical beast from the primordial era.

"Boom boom boom..."

Suddenly, a surge of waves erupted around Lü Qian, sweeping across the entire area in the blink of an eye. The surging water resembled a vast ocean, with waves rising and falling and tides surging.

"roar--"

This was not the end. Another long and loud roar came from the depths of the sea. Immediately afterwards, two pairs of eyes shining with spiritual light appeared in the waves. These two giant eyes were like four lanterns, hanging in the surging waves.

As the tide surged, the owner of the giant eye revealed himself. The creature had a turtle's body and a snake's tail, the two intertwined. The turtle's body was heavy, while the snake's form was agile.

"Mysterious...Mysterious...Black Tortoise?"

The spectators in the stands stared in disbelief as the figure emerged from the waves below. They felt the massive waves crashing against them, and a sense of primordial eeriness washed over them.

The Xuanwu divine form was about 36 feet tall, with a tortoise body 24 feet in diameter. It stepped on the surging waves beneath its feet and in the blink of an eye, it completely manifested itself from the surging waves of energy.

The moment Xuanwu fully manifested its form, the surrounding waves suddenly spread outwards, and the turtle-shaped creature with its snake-like form raised its head and roared angrily as the waves surged.

"roar--"

"Since Fellow Daoist Ding has asked me to go all out, then I will no longer hold back."

As soon as Lü Qian finished speaking, his body shone with a dazzling golden light, which then transformed into streaks of light.

Golden light swirled in the void, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a golden statue that was eighteen feet tall and had the same face as Lü Qian.

"This kid is truly determined to break free from worldly constraints."

On the high platform, the old Celestial Master suddenly stopped stroking his beard. He pondered for a moment, "The cycle of Qi has been replenished. Combined with that transformation technique, he has truly mastered the laws of heaven and earth. And he really only needs time."

"I have come to understand the laws of Heaven and Earth, and today I will test them with my sword."

The voice of the golden statue is neither joyful nor sorrowful, as if it resounds in the vast and distant sky, but if you listen carefully, you will find that it is right next to your ear.

This [Law of Heaven and Earth] is a product of Lü Qian's supplementation of the Zhou Qi number and the combination of [Feng Hou Qi Men].

The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic states that the human body is a microcosm of the universe, while the universe is a macrocosm of the human body. Although the human body is theoretically equivalent to the universe, it is still somewhat lacking.

After being tempered by thunder and fire and refined by feng shui at the Golden Summit, Lü Qian's internal energy had been replenished, giving him a foundation that could rival heaven and earth.

Naturally, one can be in harmony with heaven and earth. By utilizing the seventy-two pentads of the heavens and earth, the celestial bodies of Lü Qian can naturally evolve into the current form of "Following the Laws of Heaven and Earth".

With the blessing of [Law of Heaven and Earth], Lü Qian seemed like a golden torch, his body radiating golden flames. He wore a Taoist robe woven with flowing light, and with a swing of his sword in the air, his aura became increasingly divine.

"Whoosh—"

Golden light flowed across the sword, and a beam of sword light suddenly leaped out, slashing towards the dark clouds covering the sky. The dazzling golden light vanished in an instant, cutting a sliver of sky through the thick clouds.

The next moment, Lü Qian, who looked like a god, stepped forward and walked towards the Xuanwu god form behind him. He took a step and stepped directly onto the back of Xuanwu.

This scene, seemingly straight out of a legend, unfolded before everyone's eyes. Lu Qian, carrying a golden sword, stood firmly on the back of the Xuanwu, turned to face the crowd, and then, a snake-like, thick, long body coiled around Lu Qian's back, forming a chair.

With his right hand holding a sword and his left hand smoothing out his robe, Lü Qian slowly sat down behind him. This scene resembled that of a deity in the Zhenwu Hall, solemn and dignified, which shocked everyone present into silence.

"roar!"

The moment Lü Qianche sat down, the Xuanwu, which roamed the waves, roared to the sky, and the waves that had been raging in the arena immediately quieted down, the surging tides subsiding without a trace.

On the back of Xuanwu, Lü Qian leaned on his golden sword, his left hand resting on the side of his face. His carefree and natural demeanor made his imposing presence even more awe-inspiring, and rolling thunderous sounds emanated from his mouth.

"Now that you have seen Xuan Yang, why do you not bow?"

Ding Shian glanced at the Three-Five Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, then at Lü Qian opposite him, a fleeting bitterness crossing his face.

He sheathed his sword, which was crackling with lightning and fire, and shouted at the Taoist priest from the Celestial Master's Mansion who was presiding over the competition on the high platform, "I concede."

However, his surrender did not receive an immediate response. The audience was completely stunned by Lü Qian, who seemed to be the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor.

On the high platform, the old Celestial Master smiled helplessly at this sight. He stepped forward a few paces and shouted loudly to those below.

"Young Master Lü, stop your supernatural powers! Lü Qian will win this match!"
