Practitioners with great power residing within themselves could easily change celestial phenomena once their realm reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, some famous construction teams nowadays would be equipped with a Nascent Soul level cultivator to create a favorable construction environment when necessary.
After all, since Dao Integration great powers had gone to do live-streaming, it seemed like nothing for Nascent Soul cultivators to do a bit of this.
However, the reality was not quite like that.
One must know that once a practitioner embarked upon the path of cultivation, their mindset would undergo an unconscious change, and they would subconsciously believe that they and mortals were two different types of biological organisms.
With the vastness of the Central Continent, before his seclusion, a Nascent Soul practitioner could have completely occupied a territory and acted like a tyrant, yet now they were willing to perform civil engineering...
'Saint Emperor Yuan... is truly remarkable.'
Xu Xing felt a sense of admiration in his heart.
Outside the house, it was still raining, and that punch from earlier had not influenced the weather in this area; the small flowers in the garden outside were swaying and on the verge of falling amidst the violent wind and torrential rain.
A hazy curtain of rain enveloped the world between heaven and earth, making it impossible for one to see clearly into the distance.
Returning to the television, the construction site of that construction team from earlier was being live-streamed inside; several Golden Core practitioners were seen joining forces to cast spells, filling in the massive pit created during the exchange of blows at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Turning stone into mud, a simplified version of Pointing to the Ground to Form Steel; calling for wind and rain, a modified version.
Amidst the light of many techniques, various construction materials flew back and forth in the sky; some of the ways those techniques were utilized left even Xu Xing feeling astonished.
Looking at the situation, it would not take long before those destroyed buildings could be reconstructed.
Gradually, the sky turned dark and the rain stopped; Xu Xing turned off the television and stood up to go outside.
The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh, and upon the ground were some petals and leaves that had been washed down; perhaps because of that punch, the rain this time had been exceptionally heavy, and the various flowers within the garden had been devastated and scattered.
Xu Xing gave them a glance and waved his hand; a vortex curled up the petals and leaves on the ground and threw them into the trash bin by the side of the road outside.
He then raised his head to look upward and saw 'shooting stars' of various colors breaking through the night sky.
Those were the streaks of light from the cultivators' flight.
Streaks of light of various colors sliced through the starry sky, and several of them even carried a somewhat familiar aura.
With Xuanjian City having been attacked, the relatives and friends who were away naturally could not sit still; even if only a portion of them returned, it was still a considerably massive number.
The Mayor inside the municipal building was still a bit panicked upon seeing such a scene, wondering what he should do if another poor ghost from the demonic path followed them and sneaked in.
Was the trouble encountered today not caused by a dead poor ghost from the demonic path!
Furthermore, it had not yet been made clear who exactly that great cultivator who emerged from seclusion was, and matters could not be allowed to fall into chaos now.
However, the fact that the great power of the Taishang Dao Sect had not yet left allowed him to feel much more at ease.
Xu Xing watched the night sky for a while as the streaks of light continued in an endless stream, then he turned around and walked back inside.
"Senior Brother, everyone says that the practitioner who emerged from seclusion this time is a senior of our Sword Sect, but which senior is it exactly?"
Three figures were flying side-by-side upon their swords; all possessed a youthful appearance and wore blue martial attire, which was clearly the clothing for inner disciples of the Sword Sect from many years ago.
At their waists hung a blue jade plaque with the character for 'Sword' engraved upon it.
This indicated that all three were inner disciples of the Sword Sect, and to have reached the Nascent Soul stage at such an age meant they were among the top ranks of the inner disciples.
The youth in the middle possessed a steady temperament and a majestic, vigorous magical power; his entire being was like a precious sword hidden within its scabbard.
"Do not ask too much; I can only say that this is a heaven-sent opportunity, and we may only have such a chance once in our entire lives of cultivation."
Lin Qiuxian spoke in a heavy voice.
The two by his side felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing those words; they both knew that this Senior Brother of theirs possessed a deep background and extraordinary natural talent, making him a seed for a great power with the hope of reaching the Dao Integration stage.
"There is one thing I ask you two Junior Brothers to remember."
"Senior Brother, please speak."
His attitude caused the two to not dare be the slightest bit careless.
"You must absolutely, absolutely not use your power to bully others."
"Senior Brother must be joking; I have always been kind and friendly to others."
The youth on the left laughed.
"I understand."
The youth on the right gave a muffled reply.
Lin Qiuxian said no more.
Unlike these two Junior Brothers who knew nothing, he had learned some inside information through his elders, and it was only after paying a massive price that he had obtained this opportunity.
The Sword Sect senior who emerged from seclusion this time was most fond of giving opportunities to the younger generation after coming out, and this time was even more special.
What he wished to strive for was exactly this opportunity!
However, the killing intent of this senior was also extremely heavy; if one were to accidentally annoy him, not only himself but even the elders behind him would be implicated.
But opportunity and risk coexisted; if he could obtain this chance, he might be able to catch a glimpse of the scenery of a realm even higher than the Dao Integration stage, let alone the stage itself!
As his thoughts turned at lightning speed, Lin Qiuxian looked at the increasingly close Xuanjian City, and a trace of excitement inevitably surged in his heart.
"Junior Brothers, let us go even faster!"
Before his voice had even fallen, the sword light suddenly surged; perhaps the senior was watching right now and he could leave an impression!
"Hahaha! Senior Brother, wait for me!"
The two of them were one after the other, their sword light resembling a startling swan.
The youth who appeared somewhat dull and silent still maintained his original speed.
'Emm... Senior Brothers, if no accidents occur and I have not calculated incorrectly, you should be speeding, right?'
The great power of the Taishang Dao Sect and Perfected One Xiao Ning had not yet left.
Sure enough, before even a minute had passed, a giant hand of Primordial Qi appeared out of air and grabbed the two of them, then quickly retracted back toward the municipal building.
"Ah! Oh no, we are speeding!"
"No! I know my mistake, Senior!"
The miserable cries of the two echoed in the night sky; seeing this, the dull youth scratched his head and then also turned his direction to fly toward the municipal building.
However, as for this speed...
It slowed down by several more degrees.
The Taishang Dao Sect was a friendly sect; at most, they would teach his two Senior Brothers a lesson, and there would certainly be no danger.
At the same time, inside Zhang Yunlu's home, Zhang Yunlu was absentmindedly picking at her rice.
Zhang Xiu, who was sitting opposite her, was a bit worried, but when he asked, she only said that she had been frightened today.
"I am full."
Zhang Yunlu put down her chopsticks.
Zhang Xiu glanced at the bowl of rice that was still more than half full.
"Then go and rest first, Xiao Lu; if it truly doesn't work, I will first ask for leave for you tomorrow."
"Mhm—"
It was unknown if she had heard him or not as she swayed back to her bedroom.
"Alas—"
Zhang Xiu let out a sigh.
When their parents fell years ago, Zhang Yunlu became his only relative, but because of the age gap, he had never quite known how to get along with his sister.
At this time, even if he had the heart to comfort her, he did not know where to begin.
And those people...
However, after such an event had occurred, they should settle down for a bit recently.
Inside the bedroom, Zhang Yunlu lay sprawled upon the bed, her gaze somewhat empty.
That purple sword light, as well as the severed demonic qi hand; this scene replayed constantly within her mind.
The collision of the divine abilities of Dao Integration great powers would certainly influence the viewers.
If a mortal viewed it, the mildest case would be damage to the soul, turning them into an idiot, while the most severe would be direct sudden death.
But Zhang Yunlu was different; she was at the Qi Refining stage, so her soul was stronger than that of a mortal.
Furthermore, with Xu Xing having helped her weaken the influence, the scene of the great powers' exchange had directly transformed into a trial.
Not only would she not suffer damage, but she could also benefit from it.
If it were a person with transcendent and lofty comprehension, they could even comprehend the 'Taixu Sword Code' and the cultivation methods of that demonic practitioner from it.
Even if one's comprehension was not that high, it could still achieve the effect of tempering one's heart and character and increasing the strength of one's divine soul.
It was just that the process was not that easy.
