As soon as he finished speaking, a purple flame spread across his entire body. This was the Taiyin Purple Heaven Flame, which also contained a trace of pure Yang energy. Even within a three-zhang radius around him, a small fire domain was formed.
In the next instant, Taiyin's feet moved slightly, and with a loud boom, a hole was created. At the same time, she used this force to directly appear in front of Zhou Cang.
"It's somewhat interesting, but not enough."
Accompanied by beams of golden light, Zhou Cang appeared as if a god had descended to earth, looking incredibly divine.
The large halberd in his hand once again emitted a golden light, and dozens of blade energies materialized and cleverly appeared in Zhu Peng's inevitable path.
Zhu Peng, who had initially attacked with great momentum and was going all out, now looked exhausted after being blocked by these layers of sword energy. His attack, which was originally at full strength, could now only exert half of its power.
With a loud boom, the golden giant ape was sent flying into the air as the two clashed. It crashed heavily into the stone wall beside it, and then slammed to the ground with a thud.
"Ah, Lao Wang, I think it would be better if the two of us joined forces."
"Hehe, let's join forces then."
------------
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Yin and Yang in Harmony, Life Endures. Cai Yan, let's work together.
Just as Lao Wang and Taiyin were having a friendly and enthusiastic exchange with Zhou Cang, Lin Yang and Cai Yan also arrived at the formation.
The first thing you see is a round table. Beside the table are three stools. One of them is already occupied by a person.
The man was dressed in shorts and looked quite capable. He was still young and was sitting there. Moreover, although he was sitting, Lin Yang sensed that he had no aura at all, as if he had become one with his surroundings.
At the same time, his Divine Eye of Fortune opened directly, and with a light scan, he learned about Liao Hua's current situation.
"This person's strength is that of a third-tier grandmaster. Moreover, he has only cultivated the martial arts lineage and does not seem to have any other system. Furthermore, he should have just broken through to the third tier."
"I guess he must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter to break through. Otherwise, at his age, it's impossible for him to be stronger than Shi A, a professional martial artist," Lin Yang said to Cai Yan in secret.
This was telepathic communication, which was undetectable to those below the fifth level. Therefore, Lin Yang wasn't worried that Liao Hua would overhear it.
Upon hearing this, Cai Yan carefully examined Liao Hua and replied, "That's true. Moreover, the presence of three stools here indicates that this person was prepared for our arrival. It seems that Zhang Ning's celestial divination techniques are quite impressive."
Seeing this, Liao Hua chuckled and said, "Hehe, I presume you two are Duke Wu and Lady Cai. I am Liao Hua from Taiping Dao. The conditions here are simple, and there are no special products. So I can only offer you a cup of tea."
After speaking, Liao Hua directly took out a black jar. The jar was sealed very well on the surface. However, it looked dark and didn't look very appealing.
"Hehe, this jar contains Heavenly Spring. It even has Dao patterns on its surface to ensure it doesn't melt. Since we've met you two today, let's use it."
The so-called "heavenly spring" is actually snow water or snowflakes. It's clear that the "heavenly spring" in the jar is still in a snowflake state. However, considering this is a world where Taoist magic manifests, its excellent preservation is understandable.
Then, Liao Hua directly opened the sealed jar. At the same time, a fiery red true energy emanated from his hands.
In just a few breaths, the snowflakes in the jar melted into water. Then, a series of boiling sounds could be heard.
Seeing this, Lin Yang narrowed his eyes.
Is it difficult to turn cold water into boiling water using internal energy? Actually, it's not that difficult. It's the kind of thing where those who know how find it easy, but those who don't find it difficult. At least, for a highly skilled, innate master with a strong background, it's something anyone can do if they want to.
However, the key question is: can a master of innate talent achieve such ease and fluency as Liao Hua? The answer is no. Even Lin Yang, when simply using martial arts, cannot reach that level.
Then, following Liao Hua's movements, the tea was quickly brewed. Of course, the whole process was rather rough and not at all elegant.
"Here, these are the two cups of tea."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Hua placed one hand on the teapot, and immediately a stream of tea gushed out from the teapot and into the two teacups.
Soon, the teacup was full. However, strangely enough, the matter did not end there.
The cup, which was already full, didn't spill a drop of tea. Instead, it piled up layer upon layer, each layer rounder and larger than the one before. Soon, the teapot was empty.
At this moment, it was as if an invisible force was binding the excess tea in the two teacups, causing it to rise in layers. From a distance, it looked quite beautiful.
Then, the tea suddenly began to swirl again. The two teacups became each other's starting point and ending point, forming a large cycle between them. The tea continued to circulate endlessly between the two teacups.
"Well, Yin and Yang complement each other, creating endless life. Yuan Jian's internal energy cultivation is quite impressive," Lin Yang said casually.
The fact that Liao Hua could do this already shows that he had already consolidated his Grandmaster realm. His ancestral aperture between his eyebrows had long been opened, and his spiritual power had successfully merged with his internal energy.
Only in this way can such exquisite detail be achieved without the slightest error. Therefore, Liao Hua's meaning is quite clear.
That is, to display his martial prowess and prove that his strength has already been firmly established at the Grandmaster level. He's only doing this now because he doesn't want to escalate the conflict. Otherwise, he would have attacked directly.
Moreover, although Liao Hua appeared to be full of flaws, his aura had actually become perfectly integrated with his surroundings. This was a characteristic of the Grandmaster realm—the unity of heaven and man.
Moreover, upon closer observation, Lin Yang discovered that ripples were spreading around this person's body. This was a sign that a grandmaster, after opening the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, was interfering with reality with his mind.
Then, Lin Yang had no choice but to activate his Divine Eye of Luck and begin to observe carefully. However, under the scan of the Divine Eye, Liao Hua's aura was already perfectly harmonious, without any flaws.
This is no fun. Fighting against a grandmaster who has achieved perfect harmony with nature and has no obvious weaknesses, Lin Yang and Cai Yan alone are really not enough.
"This person seems to have no weaknesses. If we attack him head-on, we might not be a match for him," Lin Yang thought to himself.
“Feipeng, you’ve been fooled. This person has been sitting here without moving since we came in. It may be a perfect harmony between man and nature, but there might be some flaw in it. Otherwise, why would he bother with this posture? Why not just attack directly?” Cai Yan suddenly said with a smile.
The silvery voice sounded like heavenly music to Lin Yang's ears. Yes, this was probably due to the formation; once he left this area and stood up, could Liao Hua still maintain his state of oneness with nature?
As he thought about it, Lin Yang couldn't help but nod, his face immediately darkening. Indeed, he had almost been outmaneuvered by Liao Hua; if it weren't for Cai Yan's reminder, he would have been completely caught off guard.
"Haha, since you're offering us tea, why doesn't Yuanjian bring some over?" Lin Yang said with a smile.
Having said that, he gently extended his right hand, and activated the Yang Scroll of the Longevity Technique to its fullest extent. Immediately afterward, a powerful and vast aura of masculinity surged forth, rushing directly towards Liao Hua.
Seeing this, Cai Yan flicked her hand, and a dagger appeared instantly. Then, she silently activated the Su Nu Jing (Scripture of the Plain Maiden). A mysterious, cold aura emanated from her.
The two, one yin and one yang, complemented each other, and with their energies merging, their combined power was in no way inferior to Liao Hua's.
