Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 482 Confucianism and Taoism!

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Qingyuan had no intention of lingering, and her gaze drifted over to it.

Another world within sight.

Su Yaoyue was like a nimble deer in the forest, her figure light and graceful.

Her black hair swayed gently in the wind, and she effortlessly defeated a powerful expert at the late stage of the eighth level of the Heavenly Gang Realm.

The powerful cultivator was more than a level higher than her, yet he was still no match for her and was defeated without any doubt.

Su Yaoyue was surrounded by layers of dazzling light and mist.

The power of the five elements, like fine silk threads, intertwined to form a dazzling halo of five elements, making her appear even more extraordinary.

Like a fairy who has transcended the world, she is about to return to that ethereal fairy realm, displaying her extraordinary and otherworldly demeanor.

It was as if we were telepathically connected.

Su Yaoyue seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around, casting a stunning smile at Li Qingyuan.

Li Qingyuan returned the smile warmly, then praised him briefly and powerfully via telepathy:

"sharp."

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoyue smiled slightly and nodded gently.

No more words were said.

She simply held her longsword and resolutely faced another cultivator who had just stepped onto the Dragon Ascension Platform where she stood.

......

------

Li Qingyuan also withdrew her gentle gaze.

His gaze slowly swept across the crowd, as he pondered to himself, trying to find Jiang Nanzhi's whereabouts.

He always felt that Jiang Nan's cultivation method must be extraordinary, so he longed to witness his battle and find out the truth.

Just as he was intently searching.

An unexpected discovery revealed that Wang Anran was facing a challenge.

Her opponent was none other than the renowned Tuoba Lie from the Western Desert!

The clash between the two was a massive and imposing event.

Sandstorms raged on the Shenglong Platform.

Wang Anran's figure was elusive, moving through the crowd like a ghost, her large bow constantly being drawn and drawn, arrows shooting out like raindrops.

On the other side of her, amidst a sandstorm.

Then stood a tall, robust, mature and composed figure.

It was over two meters tall, with a yellowish-brown aura surging around it.

Like a small behemoth, it exudes a chilling sense of oppression.

Seeing the two locked in fierce combat, Li Qingyuan involuntarily stopped and watched intently.

......

------

Time passed slowly, and the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn was gone in the blink of an eye.

The fierce battle has finally come to a conclusion!

With an incredibly precise arrow, Wang Anran successfully broke through the sandstorm's multiple defenses and struck Tuoba Lie directly.

Although Tuoba Lie reacted quickly, his massive body limited his ability to completely evade the lightning-fast arrow.

Although he avoided a fatal blow, he was still shot in the shoulder, leaving a small hole from which blood was gushing out.

Knowing he was no match for the enemy, Tuoba Lie decided to give up and cease fighting.

At this moment, the emotions of the cultivators below the stage were like the undulating surface of a lake, each with its own distinct feelings.

The cultivators from Zhongzhou and Ximo gathered together, their voices rising and falling like waves.

The cultivators from Zhongzhou looked proud and praised Wang Anran for her outstanding strength, which brought glory to Zhongzhou. Their words were full of pride and satisfaction.

The cultivators of the Western Desert looked solemn and regretted Tuoba Lie's defeat.

At the same time, they were also discussing Wang Anran's techniques in low voices, trying to find flaws in them.

Both sides stuck to their own arguments, creating a heated and lively atmosphere.

Li Qingyuan was genuinely happy for Wang Anran's victory.

His gaze continued to scan the crowd, and he soon spotted Jiang Nan.

At this moment, Jiang Nan is actually challenging the prodigy ranked thirtieth.

He was dressed in a faded white cloth robe, exuding a strong scholarly air.

Beneath his delicate features lies the air of a refined and gentle Confucian scholar.

If he were to hold a book in his hands, his refined and scholarly demeanor would be even more convincing.

His methods were even more bizarre and extraordinary.

All that could be heard was him continuously uttering:

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness..."

As soon as these words were uttered, they seemed to become law, instantly transforming into energy characters formed from condensed qi in the sky.

Neatly arranged in the sky, they exude a chilling sense of oppression.

Moreover, these words shone with a dazzling golden light, as if a Confucian sage had descended to earth, wishing to enlighten all beings with supreme doctrines.

Jiang Nan was bathed in the brilliance of these words, like a great Confucian scholar descending to earth, his radiance so dazzling that no one dared to look directly at him.

......

------

Opposite Jiang Nan was a member of the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Although this person had a human body, he had a pair of fiery red eyes, his face was covered with black spots, his body was as strong as an ox, and he had a pair of huge wings growing from his back...

The whole body looks extremely disproportionate, yet it seems as natural as if it were something he was born with.

Once transformed into human form, other demonic beasts are no different from humans as long as they do not reveal their demonic aura.

This demon's form might allow it to unleash its full power, but it also appears exceptionally strange.

However, even so, this demon was still unable to withstand Jiang Nan's barrage of words.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the demon race was engulfed by the rolling golden light.

The words transformed into bundles of golden threads, which descended like a net, tightly enveloping the demon race.

But that demon was clearly no ordinary being.

Seeing that he could not break through the silk threads, he decisively transformed into his true form, which turned out to be a demon bat with two wings growing from its ribs!

Suddenly, the demonic bat flapped its wings, attempting to flee quickly and escape this terrifying oppression.

But the golden light from the characters, like silk threads, wrapped around its body with a speed and power invisible to the naked eye, seemingly trying to cut the demon bat's body apart.

At this critical moment, Jiang Nan said:

"end!"

Follow your words.

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden threads formed from the words stopped moving, only tightly binding the demonic bat's body, without attacking further.

Seeing this, the demonic bat realized that it was no match for its opponent. Although it was filled with resentment, it still gritted its teeth and admitted defeat.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nan showed no joy or sorrow on his face, and simply slowly withdrew his stance.

However, his figure, standing in mid-air, appeared even more sacred and inviolable as the golden light of the words flowed into his body.

Although dressed in simple clothes, he seemed to blend in with the world, displaying an extraordinary and refined demeanor.

......

------

At this moment, some cultivators below the Rising Dragon Platform noticed the battle and immediately erupted in heated discussion.

"Just who is this person? How could he possibly wield such miraculous Confucian and Taoist techniques!"

"That demon was quite strong, yet he was easily defeated. It seems this person is not to be underestimated!"

"Confucian and Taoist practices have always been rare. I never expected to see them here today. It's truly an eye-opener!"

"..."

The crowd exclaimed and discussed amongst themselves, all expressing their astonishment and curiosity about Jiang Nan's performance.
