This isn't a disparity in cultivation, but a disparity in authenticity.
The sun and moon in Chen Shi's Daoist Field appear more authentic, as if the mountains, rivers, and lakes were meant to exist that way. In contrast, the Void Great Realm of the Xu Family in Lingzhou seems lackluster, and any astute observer can tell that Chen Shi's expertise is superior.
Xu She immediately noticed something amiss, withdrew his Primordial Spirit, and said deeply, "He's here to lay siege and tarnish the reputation of the Xu Family!"
Xu Yinglong nodded gently and said, "Did you notice the Furong Tree shaded by his Daoist Field is blooming?"
Xu She was slightly taken aback, then again summoned his Primordial Spirit and gazed downward. Indeed, many Furong flowers on the tree tied to the wooden cart were slowly blooming.
This Furong Tree has been a thousand-year-old stump, having undergone numerous cycles of decay and revival. Yet after the Yin Yang Two Realms merged, it ceased to bloom and even seemed on the verge of withering.
Under the sun and moon of the Xu Family's Void Great Realm, this Furong Tree does not bloom, but it flourishes in Chen Shi's Daoist Field.
Xu She clenched his fist, then relaxed it and said, "No wonder he's the top scorer; challenging the Xu Family with such elegance. I'll go break his Daoist Field!"
He walked out.
Xu Yinglong steadily followed him, with the old and new Sect Masters arriving at the Furong Tree outside the city.
Xu She bowed to Chen Shi and said, "Chen Zhaoyuan, I accept your challenge!"
Chen Shi did not return the courtesy, continuing to sit in silence while the sun and moon revolved within his Daoist Field, the landscapes fluctuating.
"Still as arrogant as ever!"
Xu She snorted coldly, then sat cross-legged himself and unleashed his Daoist Field.
Their Daoist Fields overlapped, transforming respectively. Xu She exploited the transformation to search for flaws in Chen Shi's Daoist Field, aggressively attempting to break it.
Chen Shi established this Daoist Field specifically to tarnish the Xu Family's reputation on this grand occasion, to crush them with his mastery before their ancestors!
Thus, Xu She responded with his mastery to counter, breaking his Daoist Field, proving the Xu Family lineage cannot be contested!
Yet, upon infiltrating Chen Shi's Daoist Field, Xu She realized there were no flaws, no traces to find, no gaps to exploit. Conversely, Chen Shi's Daoist Field retaliated rapidly, assimilating most of Xu She's Field within moments.
Xu She's face blushed crimson, furious to the core, spitting a mouthful of blood.
At this moment, a large hand rested on his shoulder, channeling mighty Mana into him, stabilizing his chaotic energy.
Xu She turned around to meet Xu Yinglong's gaze. Xu Yinglong, solid as a mountain, reassured him slightly.
"She, step back, let me confront him." Xu Yinglong stepped forward.
Suddenly, an ancient voice said, "Yinglong, you are the Sect Master; how can you act rashly? If word spreads, the outside world might think the Xu Family is devoid of capable people."
Turning back, Xu Yinglong saw several white-haired elders approaching, the four ancestors of the Xu Family.
These four elders were his father Xu Feilong, grandfather Xu Xiaoshu, Great Ancestor Xu Henshui, and Great Ancestor Xu Lu. Though they were obscure now, they had each once served as the Sect Master of the Xu Family!
Xu Feilong looked at Chen Shi and laughed, "Years ago, I contested with your grandfather, engaging him repeatedly. Never did I imagine the grandson of Chen Yindou would seek us out, besieging the Xu Family. Truly, youth knows no bounds."
Chen Shi observed his nose, noticed his heart, and quietly sat without speaking.
Xu Feilong laughed, "Just like Chen Yindou, arrogant and prideful."
He sat before Chen Shi, shook his clothes to cover his legs, surveyed briefly, then laughed, "The transformation of Yin Yang Qi. Are you cultivating the Yin Yang Two Sceneries Map? This map is a cultvitation technique passed down by the Xu Family; truly a case of teaching one's grandmother how to suck eggs!"
He activated the Void Great Realm, matching the size of Chen Shi's Daoist Field, overlapping mutually, laughing, "The Void Great Realm is also a Daoist Field. Today, I shall use my Daoist Field against yours, wagering on our respective understanding of the Yin Yang Qi!"
Xu Yinglong quietly observed for a moment, secretly exhaled, and smiled.
Seeing the smile on his face, Xu She whispered, "Sect Master, how is it?"
Xu Yinglong lowered his voice, "Although we openly have no advantage over Chen Shi, we possess over a hundred more years of understanding, especially for the Mahayana Realm. Chen Shi may be prepared, but it should be enough to suppress him."
He had just spoken when suddenly the scenery within the Daoist Field changed, as if in a brief moment, ten thousand years had passed!
Former Sect Master Xu Feilong displayed absolute despair, suddenly appearing lifeless, collapsing backward, and exclaimed, "The ten thousand-year immortal body, I cannot achieve it!"
Xu Yinglong and others were startled, hurriedly rescuing him, seeing Xu Feilong's internal Yin Yang Qi chaotic, his Life Span dwindling, even facing potential doom!
Grandfather Xu Xiaoshu, Great Ancestor Xu Henshui, Great Ancestor Xu Lu, along with Xu Yinglong, combined efforts to stabilize the uncontrollable Yin Yang Qi, salvaging his life.
Everyone's expressions were solemn, each retreating.
Xu Xiaoshu and others sat outside Chen Shi's Daoist Field, staring at it, no longer acting rashly.
"Today, most of Xu Family's Divine have arrived, surely someone can defeat him!"
Xu Xiaoshu's lips twitched slightly, and said, "Yinglong, summon these ancestors!"
Xu Yinglong was startled, bowed in agreement, and hurriedly returned to the city.
In Lingzhou City, at the pharmacy Jibao House, Black Pot removed the gauze and changed the wound medicine. After traveling for several days, a few wounds on its body had begun to relapse, so it came to buy some medicine. Having learned a bit of medicine from frequent exposure to Chen Shi's illnesses in early years, Black Pot knew enough to treat its wounds.
After grabbing the medicine and paying, it carried the Heaven Measuring Iron Ruler and walked out of the city, only to find a sea of people outside the city gates, unaware of what had happened.
A Xu Family descendant informed Black Pot of the situation under its scrutiny, saying: "Chen Shi, grandson of Chen Yindou, has come to avenge the great enmity of twelve years ago, using the Yin Yang Dojo to besiege the Xu Family! If no one can break his Daoist Field, we might lose face entirely."
Black Pot raised its paw, scratched its head, looking completely bewildered.
Left the wooden cart and Chen Shi outside the city because worried the cart might be an Evil Spirit, potentially causing trouble on Xu Family territory, deciding to tie it securely as a precaution. Chen Shi was in Enlightenment, unsuitable to accompany it to fetch medicine, so left him by the cart.
How in the blink of an eye did it turn into besieging the Xu Family and exacting revenge?
