Immediately, his body involuntarily stepped back several steps.
After he forced himself to stabilize his stance, Du’e struggled to suppress the churning blood and looked at his opponent in shock.
"You... you’re also in the Profound Communication Realm?"
The difference between the Innate Realm and the Profound Communication Realm may appear to be just one level, but it’s a process of transforming internal Spiritual Qi, and once surpassed, it creates a qualitative change.
It’s completely incomparable to the difference between Postnatal and Innate.
After all, whether Postnatal or Innate, the separation ultimately lies in the depth of mana.
In special circumstances, fighting across realms is not impossible.
But between Innate and Profound Communication, a qualitative change has already occurred, like a chasm impossible to cross according to common logic!
One reason Daoism is highly regarded for dealing with demons and evil spirits.
Is that Daoism can achieve cross-realm killing of demons, which is undoubtedly very shocking for cultivators!
However, this kind of cross-realm killing is only limited to dealing with demons.
Faced with the same cultivators, Daoists do not possess this ability.
Thus, when his opponent punched him with equal force and even made him suffer losses, Du’e instantly realized his opponent was of the same level as him!
This wiped away the original contempt on Du’e’s face, replaced by extreme solemnity.
"I really didn’t expect, outside the Five Great Holy Lands, there’d be Daoists in the Profound Communication Realm."
"No..."
Du’e shook his head and said gravely, "You bear several Holy Land techniques, you should be someone from the Holy Lands."
"Wait..."
Du’e’s expression suddenly changed with disbelief as he questioned:
"You descended the mountain, does that mean the issues of the Five Great Holy Lands have been resolved?"
There’s no denying, Du’e’s babble is a bit much, Lin Heng didn’t even want to respond, but his last sentence made Lin Heng raise an eyebrow.
"Issues of the Five Great Holy Lands?"
"What’s the issue?" Lin Heng squinted slightly as he asked.
Decades ago, the Five Great Holy Lands of the Daoist Sect sealed their mountains in succession, avoiding the world.
This has always been a puzzling issue for Daoist disciples outside.
No one could understand why the Five Great Holy Lands could sit by and watch Daoism’s decline, even overlook the Buddhist Sect’s oppression of Daoist disciples?
This issue is a pain deep in many Daoists’ hearts.
Many Daoists, feeling disappointed by the Holy Lands, chose to either live in seclusion, return to secular life, or switch allegiances.
Now, Du’e’s words make Lin Heng vaguely aware that the successive mountain seals of the Five Great Holy Lands seemed to have an unavoidable reason?
"What, you don’t know?"
Seeing Lin Heng’s confusion, Du’e hesitated for a moment and then curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Clearly possessing Holy Land Divine Techniques but completely unaware of your Daoist Holy Lands’ matters..."
"I’m really curious, what’s your background?"
According to the video provided by Fa Ling, the Daoist before him should possess the Golden Light Spell of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the Maoshan Palm Thunder, and the Innate True Qi of Qingcheng Mountain.
Each one can be regarded as the respective Holy Land’s secret.
It’s already puzzling to have them all gathered in one person.
But if the other is from the Celestial Master’s Mansion, given the influence of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, it’s not impossible to request Palm Thunder and Innate True Qi for him.
However, now that he knows nothing about the issues of the Five Great Holy Lands, it appears he isn’t from the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
This makes Du’e increasingly puzzled.
But that doesn’t matter, Du’e’s lips curled into a playful smile.
"How about this, reveal your true background."
"I’ll tell you about the Five Great Holy Lands’ matters."
"How about it?"
Lin Heng squinted slightly, glanced at the plaque of Qingfeng Temple beside him, and said calmly:
"I am a disciple under Master Qingxu, now the master of Qingfeng Temple, this is my background."
Du’e paused for a moment, his face darkened:
"This isn’t the attitude one should have for an exchange of information!"
Lin Heng remained expressionless: "In any case, I’ve said what I should say, believe it or not."
Upon hearing this, Du’e sneered coldly: "In that case, you also needn’t expect to know about the matters of the Five Great Holy Lands."
Lin Heng was indifferent: "Say it or not."
Then, without wasting words with this bald donkey, he leaped into the air.
Under the moonlight, Lin Heng’s whole body glowed with golden light, like a meteor crashing towards Du’e.
Seeing this momentum, Du’e felt both angry and furious.
This kid.
Why does he always start fighting at the slightest disagreement?
The arrogance is too rampant!
"You really think I can’t beat you?"
Infuriated, Du’e stomped his feet heavily, crushing the green bricks beneath him. He crossed his arms in front, fully unleashed the Little Ming King Skill, layers of Buddha Light enveloping the front, ready to take the punch head-on!
Lin Heng looked disdainful, gathering all the golden light onto his fist.
He threw a punch.
The surging fist wind sent all the shattered green bricks under Du’e flying.
Du’e’s facial expression was contorted by the impact of this dreadful fist wind.
In his heart, he felt fear and the urge to retreat.
But that punch, like a runaway horse, had already struck his Protective Buddha Light, the moment the gold and Buddha Light clashed, the latter was immediately shattered.
With a bang!
A large pit several meters across was directly jolted under Du’e’s feet. Unable to hold on for a few seconds, he was directly flung away, landing headfirst on the mountain path, followed by an uncontrollable mouthful of blood.
This scene was witnessed by Kong Xing, who watched from a distance.
He was directly dumbfounded, staring blankly with an incredulous expression on his face.
"How... how is this possible?"
"What happened to the Great Brightness Temple’s Elder?"
"What happened to stepping into the Profound Communication Realm ten years ago?"
"Can’t even take one punch?"
"Oh my heavens..."
Kong Xing suddenly somewhat understood why the Abbot and the other senior brothers of the Kong generation didn’t come to watch this spectacle.
The extent of this Daoist’s abnormality was far beyond imagination!
"Boasting about witnessing the Golden Light Spell, but it’s just this?"
At that moment, Lin Heng looked at the blood-spitting Du’e with a disdainful expression.
Upon hearing his taunt, Du’e was so angry that his head spun, he suddenly stood up, burning with fury:
"You arrogant brat!!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Du’e looked up and roared, swiftly forming seals with his hands, a series of wind and thunder noises erupted from his hands.
At the same time, bizarre Zen thoughts and Buddha sounds arose from all directions.
The Buddha sounds became louder and louder.
His body’s Spiritual Qi surged more and more.
With a double-handed strike, a gigantic hand seal gradually congealed.
Du’e shot cold eyes at Lin Heng and shouted harshly: "Today, I’ll show you the Divine Techniques of the Buddhist Sect!"
"Great Celestial Sound Palm!"
Under Du’e’s shout, the gigantic hand seal condensed in the void, bombarded towards Lin Heng amidst the Buddha sounds.
Lin Heng’s gaze revealed a trace of teasing.
"Divine Techniques, huh?"
Lin Heng’s lips curled into a smile.
In the next moment, between his five internal organs, Qi Body surged, its origin flowing endlessly.
