94 Chapter 219: The Slaughter of the Heavenly Dao Scripture
Li Fan, curious about this, investigated and found out that besides "Ancient Cultivation Secret History," Senior Sister Zhao had also appeared in many novels and stories.
Most of these novels were derivative stories based on "Ancient Cultivation Secret History."
The basic development and plot of these stories revolved around Senior Sister Zhao.
Many of the plot details were intriguing and not suitable for detailed discussion.
In the Xuanhuang Realm, novels with female protagonists were already rare. A female lead like Senior Sister Zhao, who was both exceptionally beautiful and powerful with high status, was even rarer.
Gaining a group of devoted fans was only natural.
Senior Sister Zhao's high popularity was not only due to her character design but also because her character template was indeed exceptionally strong.
The Daoists created based on her template had an astonishingly high win rate, leaving people speechless.
In the "Discussing the Dao While Seated," conducting battles required contribution points. However, the winning side would be refunded half of the contribution points.
Therefore, to engage in continuous Dao discussions, besides having sufficient funds, selecting a powerful Daoist template was also crucial.
Li Fan casually chose a battle involving Senior Sister Zhao and started watching.
The surroundings, along with his own body, disappeared in an instant, and Li Fan felt like he had entered the vastness of the universe.
A female cultivator, dressed in Daoist robes but unable to conceal her tall and alluring figure, stood quietly in the distance.
Her eyes were like water, and her skin resembled white snow.
Her stern face seemed like an eternal iceberg, emitting an aura that kept people at a distance for miles.
However, the subtle charm in her eyes made people unable to resist daydreaming.
Soon after, an old man with a withered appearance, wearing tattered clothes, who was going to battle her, also appeared in this dimensional space.
"Disrespectful Daoist? I wonder what its origin is." Li Fan focused his gaze on the old man, and information instantly appeared in his mind.
"Please!"
Both sides spoke in unison, and then the great battle began.
The battle of discussing the Dao was just a simulation by the Tianxuan Mirror. Of course, it couldn't compare to battles with real Dao integration experts, where each move and technique resonated with the Dao. However, by observing, cultivators could gain insights.
In this endless virtual space, visual effects such as light, shadow, destruction, and vibration had been taken to the extreme.
Apart from the lack of actual aura, it was nearly impossible to distinguish between reality and illusion.
To prevent spectators from being confused, the Tianxuan Mirror also provided intimate explanations for the techniques used by both sides.
"The Disrespectful Daoist" wielded a bamboo staff, striking it through the air.
In an instant, numerous spatial rifts appeared around Senior Sister Zhao.
Dark-colored divine lightning erupted from these rifts, ready to strike her simultaneously.
However, all the lightning lost its aggressiveness the moment it approached Senior Sister Zhao.
As if the fiercest tiger had turned into an extremely docile kitten.
The lightning surrounded her, resembling a consort waiting to be pampered, behaving obediently without moving.
Senior Sister Zhao pointed her slender finger, and the pitch-black darkness surged toward Disrespectful Daoist.
Disrespectful Daoist snorted coldly, scratched his body, and then opened his mouth to swallow the divine lightning.
...
Through the Tianxuan Mirror's commentary, Li Fan understood what was happening.
Disrespectful Daoist used the "Void-Annihilating Divine Lightning" for the attack.
It was effortlessly cracked by Senior Sister Zhao's "My Dao Alone," a technique cultivated from the "Annihilation of the Heavenly Dao Scripture."
"My Dao Alone" created a special stance around her body, assimilating all forms of enemy attacks into a part of her own strength.
"My Dao Alone..."
"The setup is a bit tricky. How can I break through this?" Li Fan couldn't help but ponder.
As expected, the Disrespectful Daoist, whose origin was unknown, despite having considerable strength and terrifying destructive power that tore through space with each move, couldn't inflict any harm on Senior Sister Zhao.
Instead, every attack was perfectly copied and rebounded.
Senior Sister Zhao remained unmoved like a mountain, and Disrespectful Daoist became weaker as the battle dragged on.
Before long, Senior Sister Zhao seized an opportunity, using the "Heaven-Annihilating Sword Qi" to effortlessly kill him.
The surroundings faded away, and Li Fan returned to the Tianxuan Mirror.
"Senior Sister Zhao's 'My Dao Alone' is a bit too overbearing. But, Jiang Zhengji mentioned it when introducing the rules."
"The Tianxuan Mirror adjusts the actual strength of character templates, and power beyond reality won't be manifested during battles."
"But Senior Sister Zhao seems completely unaffected..."
"Does that mean there's a real technique similar to 'My Dao Alone' in reality?"
"Or..."
A strange expression flashed across Li Fan's face.
"Great Dao Sect, Senior Sister Zhao."
"Five Elders Association, Enlightenment Pill, Great Dao Sect's secret transmission."
"The first-person 'Ancient Cultivation Secret History.'"
"And many derivative and vulgar stories circulating in the Wanxian Alliance..."
Li Fan's eyelids twitched a few times, and he began to have some speculations.
However, this matter involved high-level figures from both sides, top-notch experts.
Li Fan just silently contemplated for a while before pushing this matter to the depths of his mind.
He then turned his attention to more important matters.
Creating a "Daoist" based on the prototype of Zhan Qianmo from the Purple Sky Sect.
"Foundation Building cultivation."
"Purple Sky Divine Lightning, long halberd weapon..."
"After death, self-nirvana within the body, with a tremendous surge in strength, easily slaughtering those in the early Golden Core stage."
...
Li Fan accurately restored the strength data of Zhan Qianmo, with whom he had clashed several times.
At the same time, he had a realization.
In "Sit and Discuss Dao," it was possible to create similar Daoists.
However, if one had only superficially read about a character in a book and had a conceptual understanding of their martial strength without specific details, then the created Daoist's strength would certainly fall far short of the character's true potential.
Conversely, the more one understood the prototype of a character, the closer the created Daoist would be to their original strength.
Li Fan had fought against Zhan Qianmo several times, and he believed that the Daoist created based on him would be quite close to his actual strength.
At the very least, it shouldn't differ significantly from Zhan Qianmo's current demonstrated combat power.
Following this, using his own blueprint, Li Fan spent one thousand contribution points to create a character.
He outlined the maximum power of his current Cloud Mist Sword and Overturning Heaven Divine Palm, giving them a new technique name.
The character creation was successful.
Li Fan attempted to control these two Daoists, engaging them in their first battle.
Unexpectedly, he received a notification from the Tianxuan Mirror.
"After calculation, the win rate of the Daoist 'Fan Li' is approximately zero."
"Do you still want to start the battle?"
Li Fan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he had to abandon the attempt.
After some thought, he posted an extremely arrogant message.
"(Foundation Building stage) Li Qianmo of the Azure Sky Sect, invincible within the Foundation Building stage, seeking loneliness in seeking defeat! If you don't accept, come and challenge me!"
In "Sit and Discuss Dao," there were relatively few Daoists with Foundation Building cultivation.
Li Fan could only leave the challenge message there and wait for others to come and challenge him.
"Hoping that someone appears with a method to defeat Zhan Qianmo that I can emulate."
With this in mind, Li Fan temporarily exited "Sit and Discuss Dao."
