Chapter 219: Heaven-Slaying Dao Sutra

Li Fan, out of curiosity, inquired and learned that besides "The Secret History of Ancient Cultivation," Senior Sister Zhao had also appeared in numerous other novels and storybooks.

Most of these novels were derivative stories based on "The Secret History of Ancient Cultivation."

The main plot development of the stories mostly revolved around this Senior Sister Zhao.

Many of the plots were captivating and not suitable for detailed description.

In the Xuanhuang World, novels with female protagonists were already rare.

And female protagonists like Senior Sister Zhao, who were exceptionally graceful, incomparably beautiful, powerful, and held a revered status, were even rarer.

It was only natural that she garnered a large number of loyal fans.

Senior Sister Zhao's high popularity, besides her character design, was also related to the ridiculously strong template of her character.

The Debater, created based on her, had an astonishingly high win rate.

In this Sitting and Discussing Dao, holding battles required the payment of contribution points.

However, the winning side would have half of their contribution points refunded.

Therefore, to continuously engage in Sitting and Discussing Dao battles, besides not being short on money, choosing a powerful Debater template was also quite important.

Li Fan casually selected a battle featuring Senior Sister Zhao to observe.

The surrounding scenery, along with his own body, instantly vanished, and Li Fan seemed to arrive in the Void Realm of the Universe in a flash.

A female Cultivator, dressed in a Daoist robe that could not hide her tall, curvaceous figure, stood quietly in the distance.

Her eyes were like water, and her skin was like white snow.

Her stern face was like an eternal iceberg, exuding an aura that kept people at a thousand miles' distance.

But the subtle charm inadvertently revealed in her eyes made one's heart itch and imagination run wild.

Soon after, an emaciated old man, dressed in tattered clothes, who was battling her, also appeared in this space.

"Daoist Who Disrespects? I wonder what his origin is." Li Fan's gaze focused on the old man, and a piece of information immediately appeared in his mind.

"Please!"

Both sides spoke in unison, and then the great battle began.

The Dao discussion battle was merely a simulation by the tianxuan mirror.

Of course, it couldn't be like the battles of Dao Integration experts in reality, where every Move and every form carried the lingering charm of the Grand Dao, allowing Cultivators to gain an Epiphany just by observing.

However, in this infinitely vast virtual space, visual effects such as light and shadow, destruction, and tremors had been pushed to the extreme.

Except for the absence of actual Qi, it was almost impossible to distinguish between real and fake.

Moreover, to prevent observers from being confused, the tianxuan mirror would also provide thoughtful explanations for both sides' Moves.

Daoist Who Disrespects used a bamboo staff and tapped it in the air.

In an instant, countless spatial裂隙 appeared around Senior Sister Zhao.

Pitch-black Divine Lightning burst out from the裂隙, about to strike her all at once.

However, all the lightning, upon approaching Senior Sister Zhao, simultaneously lost its aggressiveness.

It was as if the fiercest tigers had turned into incomparably docile kittens.

The lightning surrounded her, obediently still, like concubines awaiting favor.

Senior Sister Zhao pointed a slender finger, and a pitch-black light reflected back, striking towards Daoist Who Disrespects.

Daoist Who Disrespects snorted, scratched his body, and opened his mouth to swallow the Divine Lightning.

…

And Li Fan, through the tianxuan mirror's explanation, also understood what was happening.

Daoist Who Disrespects used the "Destroying Void Divine Lightning" for attack.

It was easily countered by Senior Sister Zhao's "Grand Dao of Sole Self."

Grand Dao of Sole Self was a Divine Ability that came with Senior Sister Zhao's Cultivation Technique, the Scripture of the Great Dao of Executing Heaven, after reaching Major Achievement.

It formed a special field around the body, and all forms of enemy attacks would be assimilated by the field, becoming part of one's own combat power.

"Grand Dao of Sole Self…"

"The setting is a bit unfair. How can one fight this?" Li Fan couldn't help but think.

As expected, although the Daoist Who Disrespects, whose origin was unknown, possessed considerable strength and had terrifying destructive power that could tear space with every Move, he simply couldn't inflict any damage on Senior Sister Zhao.

Instead, every attack was perfectly replicated and bounced back.

Senior Sister Zhao remained unmoving like a mountain, while Daoist Who Disrespects grew weaker with each passing moment.

Soon after, Senior Sister Zhao seized an opening and easily slew him with a single "Executing Heaven Sword Qi."

The surrounding scene vanished, and Li Fan returned to the tianxuan mirror.

"Senior Sister Zhao's 'Grand Dao of Sole Self' Move is a bit too rogue. However, Jiang Zhengji mentioned it when he introduced the rules earlier."

"The tianxuan mirror will make practical adjustments to character templates; combat power exceeding reality will not be displayed in battles."

"But Senior Sister Zhao is completely unaffected…"

"This means that in reality, there really are Cultivation Techniques with effects similar to 'Grand Dao of Sole Self'?"

"Or rather…"

A strange expression flashed across Li Fan's face.

"Great Dao Sect, Senior Sister Zhao."

"Five Old Men Association, enlightenment pill, Great Dao Sect's secret transmission."

"The first-person 'The Secret History of Ancient Cultivation.'"

"And the many derivative vulgar storybooks circulating in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance…"

Li Fan's eyelids twitched a few times, and he vaguely had a guess in his heart.

However, this matter involved high-level figures from both sides, top-tier powerful experts.

Li Fan merely fantasized for a while and then suppressed the matter deep in his mind.

He then turned to the main task.

He began creating a Debater based on Zhang Qianmo of the Zixiao Sect.

"Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation."

"Purple Firmament Divine Lightning, halberd weapon…"

"After death, Rebirth from the purple Dao Pill within the body, strength skyrocketing, easily slaying Early Stage Golden Core Cultivators."

…

Li Fan faithfully recreated Zhang Qianmo's combat data, having fought him several times.

At the same time, he gained some insight.

In Sitting and Discussing Dao, it was possible to create identical Debaters.

However, if one had only a superficial understanding of a character's Cultivation Technique strength from reading about it in a book, without knowing the specific intensity, then the strength of the created Debater would certainly fall far short of the character's true上限.

Conversely, the better one understood the character's prototype, the closer the created Debater would be to their original strength.

Li Fan had fought Zhang Qianmo to the death several times, so the Debater created based on this should be relatively close to his actual strength.

At the very least, it was not much different from the combat power Zhang Qianmo currently displayed.

Immediately after, Li Fan, using his own blueprint, spent one thousand contribution points to create a character.

He set the maximum power of the current Cong Yun One Sword and Heaven-Overturning Divine Palm, and changed the Move names.

The character was successfully created.

Li Fan attempted to control his two Debaters for their first battle.

Unexpectedly, he received a prompt from the tianxuan mirror.

"After calculation, the win rate of the Debater [Fan Li] is approximately zero."

"Do you still wish to start the battle?"

Li Fan's face darkened upon hearing this, and he had no choice but to give up.

After thinking for a moment, he posted an extremely arrogant message.

"(Foundation Establishment Stage) Li Qianmo of the Qingxiao Sect, unrivaled within the Foundation Establishment realm, seeking defeat! If you're not convinced, come and fight me!"

Within Sitting and Discussing Dao, Debaters at the Foundation Establishment Stage were relatively few.

Li Fan could only hang his challenge message there and wait for others to challenge him.

"I hope a method to defeat Zhang Qianmo, which I can emulate, will appear."

Thinking this, Li Fan temporarily exited Sitting and Discussing Dao.
