Chapter 1283 Battle of Wits with Xiao Changsheng
On this day, Xu Changshou arrived at the temple of Venerable Wanyan.
"Your humble brother Xu Changshou pays his respects to Senior Brother Wanyan!"
Xu Changshou came to Venerable Wanyan's temple not to find Venerable Wanyan, but to find Xiao Changsheng.
Although Xiao Changsheng has broken through to the Mahayana realm, he has not been granted the title of Venerable Ancestor, nor has he established his own Daoist temple. He is still cultivating in the Daoist temple of his master, Venerable Wanyan.
Upon hearing Xu Changshou's words, Venerable Wanyan flew out of the dojo and looked at Xu Changshou. When he saw Xu Changshou clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised:
"Xu Changshou, it's you! You've actually broken through to the Mahayana realm."
Indeed, Venerable Wanyan was unaware of Xu Changshou's breakthrough, hence his surprise.
Xu Changshou smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Thanks to Senior Brother Wanyan, I have just broken through."
"Good for your breakthrough, congratulations!" Venerable Wanyan said with a forced smile.
Xu Changshou changed the subject and asked, "Senior Brother Wanyan, where is Senior Brother Xiao? I'm looking for Senior Brother Xiao!"
Venerable Wanyan smiled and said, "After Changsheng broke through, he went to the Eastern District Herb Garden. His job is to guard the spiritual herb garden, and he only comes back to me occasionally."
"Guarding the medicinal herb garden?"
Xu Changshou was somewhat surprised. He had heard that guarding the spirit herb garden was a good job, with a decent salary and plenty of perks.
Xiao Changsheng was quite lucky.
Xu Changshou glanced at Venerable Wanyan and asked, "Which herb garden is Senior Brother Xiao in?"
Venerable Wanyan: "The Ninth Herb Garden."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Wanyan. I'll go find Senior Brother Xiao now!"
Xu Changshou left the temple of Venerable Wanyan and headed towards the medicine garden in the eastern district.
The entire Jumen Peak is divided into several major areas, with the medicinal gardens mainly located in the eastern area.
Xu Changshou arrived at the medicinal garden in the East District and quickly found the ninth medicinal garden.
Xu Changshou glanced around and saw that the No. 9 Medicine Garden covered tens of thousands of miles. Above the medicine garden, there was a barrier that enveloped the sky.
Because of the barrier, Xu Changshou could not see the situation in the herb garden.
They could only vaguely sense that there was a cultivator at the Mahayana realm in the herb garden, who was very likely Xiao Changsheng.
"Is Senior Brother Xiao here?"
Xu Changshou spoke calmly while he was in the air.
"Who?"
A figure passed through the barrier and arrived opposite Xu Changshou. Upon closer inspection, he recognized Xiao Changsheng.
"It's you, kid. You actually broke through?"
Upon seeing Xu Changshou, Xiao Changsheng was somewhat surprised, and his expression turned rather unpleasant. He hadn't expected Xu Changshou to break through to the Mahayana realm so quickly.
If Xu Changshou doesn't break through, he can manipulate things however he wants, but once he does, his status will be the same as his.
If they want to control Xu Changshou again, they'd better think twice.
"hehe!"
Xu Changshou smiled and said, "If you can break through, why can't I?"
"Enough with the nonsense, what do you want from me!" Xiao Changsheng said unhappily.
Xu Changshou smiled faintly: "Brother Xiao, you really have a bad memory. You borrowed my Thunder Boat and said you would return it to me within a hundred years. How long has it been?"
"Oh? I forgot."
Xiao Changsheng curled his lips, patted his storage bag, and tossed the Thunder Boat to Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou took the Thunder Boat and examined it carefully. The Thunder Boat was well preserved, and there were still traces of his refining on it, which had not been erased.
Seeing Xu Changshou inspecting the Thunder Boat, Xiao Changsheng said disdainfully, "It's just a mid-level magic weapon, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry to go back?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou frowned slightly. It was clear from his words that he was mocking Xu for never having seen anything good.
“Senior Brother Xiao, the fact that you refuse to return this mere mid-level magic weapon just proves that you also have your eye on my flying magic weapon.”
"nonsense!"
Xiao Changsheng was slightly angry: "I just forgot. Why would I care about a mere mid-level magic weapon?"
"Ha ha!"
Xu Changshou laughed loudly, "That's your business. All I know is that some scoundrel borrowed something from me and hasn't returned it for hundreds of years."
"Who are you calling a cheat!"
Xiao Changsheng's anger intensified.
Xu Changshou continued with a laugh, "Whoever cheats, I'll call them out."
"Humph!"
Instead of getting angry, Xiao Changsheng laughed: "Junior Brother Xu, are you itching for a beating? Do you think that just because you've broken through to the Mahayana realm, I can't deal with you?"
Xiao Changsheng's words carried a hint of provocation.
Xu Changshou raised an eyebrow and retorted sharply, "What, Senior Brother Xiao, do you want to exchange a few blows with me?"
"You're no match for me!" Xiao Changsheng said disdainfully.
Xu Changshou stepped forward and said without any hesitation, "That's what I think too."
Xiao Changsheng's smile widened, and he challenged, "How about we have a little sparring?"
Xu Changshou shrugged: "Whatever you want, draw up a line, and I'm ready to play anytime."
Xiao Changsheng pointed to the barrier below and said, "This barrier is a ninth-grade formation, extremely sturdy. Let's have a little sparring session above this barrier."
"Alright, Senior Brother Xiao, please enlighten me!" Xu Changshou stretched out his hand, signaling Xiao Changsheng to come over.
"Arrogant! Take this!"
"Blood Blade..."
Xiao Changsheng suddenly made a hand seal, and endless crimson spiritual energy condensed, forming a ten-thousand-foot-long crimson giant blade above his head.
The colossal blade, thousands of feet long, stood tall in the air like a pillar supporting the sky, its power unmatched.
"Little tricks!"
Xu Changshou snorted coldly, and at the same time quickly made a hand seal, a faint phantom of Buddha enveloped him.
Xu Changshou glanced at Xiao Changsheng and said calmly, "Senior Brother Xiao, if your attack is only this much, humph, I can stand here and not do anything to you."
boom!
boom!
boom……
The two faced off in the air, neither launching an attack, yet their terrifying aura caused the sky to tremble.
"Look, someone's fighting!"
"Damn, this is going to be interesting."
"I love joining in the fun, let's go check it out!"
Soon, someone noticed this place and rushed over.
Before long, a dozen or so cultivators gathered here. These cultivators were all guards of the herb garden.
"Look, it's Junior Brother Xiao. Who's his opponent?"
"This kid looks unfamiliar, I've never seen him before. Does anyone recognize him?"
“I know him. His name is Xu Changshou. He just broke through to the Mahayana realm.”
“Xu Changshou, I know who it is. I heard that a servant in the Sima Bureau broke through to the Mahayana realm. It must be him.”
"What? He's that handyman..."
"Who do you think will win?"
"Is that even a question? It must be Junior Brother Xiao."
“Yes, Junior Brother Xiao has been breaking through for hundreds of years, while Xu Changshou has only just broken through. He is definitely no match for Junior Brother Xiao.”
The people present were talking about it, and some of them recognized Xu Changshou.
"Outrageous! Kill them!"
With a thought, Xiao Changsheng unleashed a massive, blood-red blade that slashed fiercely at Xu Changshou.
A massive blood-red blade sliced across the sky, as if to split the heavens in two.
Its terrifying power shook the heavens.
hum...
Xu Changshou also moved, and the Buddha that was enveloping him shone with golden light, instantly magnifying a thousandfold.
boom!
The blood-red blade slashed down, striking the Vajra Buddha fiercely. At that moment, the entire sky trembled violently.
At their level of cultivation, even a casual move possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth.
