What I teach you is real stuff.

Lu Yuan looked at the white-robed youth who had descended upon the place carrying a stone shield. This person was the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. His aura was extremely powerful, befitting a sect leader. He was a figure of considerable importance even in the Immortal Realm.

This person had not shown himself before, but he only appeared just now when Lu Yuan almost killed a Taiyi Golden Immortal from the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

Now that we're out here, let's fight.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect said, "Wait! Fellow Daoist, is there no room for negotiation? We'll raise the price."

Lu Yuan ignored him and added an egg.

It's not like I have nowhere else to sell my Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, why would I sell it to your Ten Thousand Immortals Sect? You forcibly took it first and then tried to lower the price to profit from it, Lu Yuan has long lost all patience with them.

Countless sword energies swept past, and the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect activated his small stone shield to defend against them.

A divine light emanated from the stone shield, enveloping the physical body and blocking all of Lu Yuan's sword energy and sword laws.

"This stone shield is indeed a treasure."

Lu Yuan thought to himself.

This thing was able to withstand his attacks continuously; it's no ordinary object.

Seeing that Lu Yuan didn't want to talk, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect regretted his decision. He should have raised the price; the price he had just quoted was indeed a bit too much. Now it was too late to regret it.

In fact, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect did not expect Lu Yuan's strength to be so terrifying at first. If they had known that he was so powerful, they would not have dared to be so presumptuous.

Faced with such a thorny situation, the leader of the Wanxian Sect naturally regretted his actions. He wanted to spend money to settle the matter peacefully, but Lu Yuan had no intention of doing business with him at all.

Of course, he didn't want to hand over the Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid that he had obtained, after all, it was something worth tens of thousands of immortal crystals.

Now that they've already taken over the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, it will be extremely difficult to get them to give it back.

There was no other way but to fight them, drive them back, and forcibly leave the items behind.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect clashed with Lu Yuan.

In the sky, Lu Yuan, a Golden Immortal, unleashed all his supernatural powers in a fierce battle against the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect has extremely high cultivation, having reached the late stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. He is not far from the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely become a true Daluo Golden Immortal in the future.

Normally, he could easily suppress any Taiyi Golden Immortal of the same realm, but unfortunately, he encountered Lu Yuan today.

Although Lu Yuan only possessed the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal, when he got into a fight, his combined skills and resources made him no less powerful than the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

In their confrontation, even the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect did not gain any advantage.

Lu Yuan unleashed a multitude of ancestral beast techniques, including those of the Ancestral Phoenix, Kui Niu, and Qilin, and surprisingly suppressed the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect.

"The Ancestral Dragon's Heaven-Opening Technique!"

Lu Yuan transformed into a dragon, like a true dragon soaring through the heavens, its terrifying dragon might shaking the very soul. With each strike, it tore the sky apart, each blow seemingly creating the heavens.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was indeed powerful, but he was also shaken by Lu Yuan at this moment, and was shocked.

This person's cultivation level is only Golden Immortal, yet he can unleash such terrifying combat power. Where did this person come from?
This person is already at the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and can still surpass others? There are probably few talents like this among the three religions. They've kicked a hornet's nest.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect felt increasing pressure; he realized he had really bitten off more than he could chew this time.

Although his small stone shield was strong, it was not invincible and could not withstand Lu Yuan's attacks indefinitely.

Under Lu Yuan's relentless bombardment, the divine light emanating from the small stone shield eventually dimmed and lost its brilliance.

This thing is the most treasured artifact of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. Now that it has been knocked unconscious by Lu Yuan, the sect leader is also in a state of confusion.

From their recent exchange, he already knew Lu Yuan's background. This person's realm and strength were truly bizarre, so powerful that they didn't seem to belong to his usual level at all.

Furthermore, this person possessed countless supernatural abilities when he made a move, capable of using the supernatural powers of the Phoenix Clan, Dragon Clan, Kui Niu Clan, and even Qilin Clan, making it difficult for even the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect to cope.

Previously, the small stone shield was able to hold out for a while, but now that the small stone shield's defense has been broken, it will take time to recover. Without the small stone shield's defense, how could the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect still be as calm as before?
Just now, the small stone shield blocked most of Lu Yuan's supernatural attacks for him. Now that it's gone, he has to bear all the supernatural attacks himself.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect flicked his sleeve, releasing more than a dozen flags from it.

These flags, each a different color, represented powerful magical artifacts of varying energies. A dozen or so flags fluttered in the air, surrounding Lu Yuan.

This is also one of the treasures of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, known as the Ten Thousand Immortals Flag.

It was crafted by the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect over tens of thousands of years, expending a great deal of effort. It can form a great array on its own to trap and kill enemies.

This thing comes at a great cost every time it is used, consuming the original power of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Therefore, even the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect would not use it lightly. But this time is different. Lu Yuan is indeed too troublesome. His proud little stone shield has been broken. If he still hides it and does not use his trump card, the consequences will probably be quite serious.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is their last trump card; they cannot afford to lose. If they do, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect will lose all face.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect took the initiative to use the Ten Thousand Immortals Flag.

The Myriad Immortals Banner instantly formed an array, trapping Lu Yuan within it, intending to trap him to death.

Lu Yuan looked around and found that the formation was indeed quite ingenious. The formation composed of the Ten Thousand Immortal Banners was also of a very high level. Lu Yuan found it somewhat troublesome, and it would be even more troublesome if one did not understand formations.

As expected of one of the most treasured artifacts of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, anyone who doesn't understand formations would be trapped inside, and even those below the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal would have a hard time getting out.

No wonder the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect dares to be so arrogant; they certainly have a strong foundation.

However, this formation was not so threatening to Lu Yuan.

Firstly, he was a grandmaster of formations himself, and he had also comprehended the laws of formations, possessing profound knowledge of formations.

The Myriad Immortals Flag Formation of the Myriad Immortals Sect is complex, exquisite, and powerful.

For Lu Yuan, it would simply take a little more time; it would be difficult to trap him to death.

Secondly, Lu Yuan is strong. If he were to actually fight the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect head-on, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect might not be his match. Since his strength is higher than that of the person using the formation, it would be easier for him to break the formation.

Lu Yuan began to venture into the Myriad Immortals Formation.

Looking at the massive Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in the sky, Elder Liang Ru of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, whose hand had just been chopped off by Lu Yuan, smiled disdainfully.

"The Master's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation is not something you can just break into. That's wishful thinking."

"Once this formation is activated, unless you are a Great Luo Golden Immortal, there is no way to break it."

The elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect knew more about the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in their leader's hands, and knew how complex and terrifying it was.

Once inside, unless you are a Great Immortal or have some knowledge of the Dao of Space, the chances of getting out are extremely slim.

Someone like Lu Yuan, who recklessly charged through the formation, would die even faster. These elders of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect seemed to already foresee how Lu Yuan would be trapped and die within the formation.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect then spoke up, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I'll give you another chance. If you're willing to talk now, we can have a proper discussion. There's still room for negotiation. But if you remain stubborn and unrepentant, then don't blame my Ten Thousand Immortals Formation for being ruthless."

Looking at Lu Yuan trapped in the formation, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect felt he had the upper hand and made his demands.

He didn't really want to let Lu Yuan go; he just felt that Lu Yuan must have more Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid, and perhaps even some special method for condensing Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid. These were what he wanted.

However, if Lu Yuan is killed now, it is very likely that he will never obtain these secrets after Lu Yuan dies.

If the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect could obtain the method to produce the Mysterious Immortal Five Qi Liquid, why would they worry about not thriving in the future?

This is why the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect is still so patient.

However, after he finished speaking, he received a telepathic message from Lu Yuan: "Your formation is indeed quite something, but unfortunately, it's only so-so. This formation can easily trap an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal, but it can't trap me, Lu Yuan."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he began to break the formation.

His figure transformed into a rainbow of light, each step landing on a strange and special location. These locations appeared ordinary on the surface, but they caused the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect to undergo a series of extremely interesting changes in expression.

Because only the person who set up the formation knows that these locations are the key to breaking the formation.

But how did Lu Yuan know this?
If we let him continue like this, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect will surely be destroyed.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was no longer as composed as before. He hurriedly activated the array flags and began to change the formation, attempting to trap and kill Lu Yuan.

However, his change of formation was now useless. Lu Yuan's every step was still calmly and precisely placed in the positions to break the formation.

Soon, a figure broke out from the encirclement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.

The moment Lu Yuan charged out, more than a dozen Myriad Immortal Banners unleashed powerful attacks in an attempt to kill him, but they were dispelled by the mixed energy of the Five Elements released from Lu Yuan's Five Elements Mixed Qi Diagram, and could not be stopped at all.

Lu Yuan broke through the formation and stood before the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect once again.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect looked extremely grim.

He already knew Lu Yuan's strength from their recent exchange. Although he was at the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he was ninety percent likely to be no match for Lu Yuan if they faced each other head-on.

Now that the Ten Thousand Immortals Flag has also been defeated, the result is already clear: the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect has lost.

However, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect still couldn't understand why Lu Yuan broke the formation so easily.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect said, "Back then, when I crafted these array flags, I invited several renowned array masters from the Immortal Realm to jointly design this Ten Thousand Immortals Array. It is incredibly complex and exquisite."

I spent tens of thousands of years perfecting and strengthening it. After the array flags were forged, I personally entered the interior to break the array, but even as the one who set it up, it would have taken me several months to break it.

How did you do that?

This formation and its flags were crafted by the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect. Even so, as the designer of the formation, it would take him a great deal of time to break it himself. How did Lu Yuan manage to break the formation faster than him, the designer?

Lu Yuan said, "All formations in the world, though different in approach, lead to the same goal. They are nothing more than a combination and superposition of the three formations of trapping, killing, and illusion. Your formation is indeed ingeniously designed and extremely complex."

Unfortunately for me, Lu is not only a grandmaster of formations, but also has comprehended the Dao of Space and has some understanding of it, so breaking your formation is not difficult for me.”

Lu Yuan met two key conditions.

First, he is a master of formations, and not just an ordinary master of formations, but he has also comprehended the laws of formations.

The greatest benefit of comprehending the laws of formations is that it allows one to more quickly understand the arrangement and operational logic of formations.

Lu Yuan, the second one, is a comprehender of the Dao of Space. He has some knowledge of the laws of space, which is a kind of cheat code when it comes to formations.

An array is essentially a combination and superposition of spaces. If someone has studied or mastered the laws of space, then breaking an array becomes a natural thing.

Even the most ingenious formations cannot trap those who have comprehended the laws of space.

To put it simply, comprehending the laws of space means being able to go wherever you want, except for the past and future.

If I really can't break your formation, I can even open a spatial gate on the spot, fold space, and teleport directly out of this space.

However, there are very few people who can comprehend the laws of space. Let alone ordinary immortals, it is uncertain whether even quasi-saints and saints can comprehend the laws of space.

How could the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect have imagined that a mere Golden Immortal could not only comprehend the Law of the Sword, but also have some knowledge of the Law of Space, the highest-ranking law among the Three Thousand Laws?

Of course, it's a pity that Lu Yuan didn't truly comprehend the spatial aspect; otherwise, he would have broken the formation even faster.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect smiled bitterly: "A master of formations and a comprehender of the Dao of Space, I never expected that my luck would be so bad today, that I would happen to run into someone who possesses both of these skills. It is not unjust for me to lose."

His Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was already very powerful, but he was just unlucky. He happened to run into Lu Yuan, a master of formations and a comprehender of the Dao of Space. Both of these abilities are natural counters to formations.

Even if ten more Ten Thousand Immortals Formations were added together, they might not be able to trap Lu Yuan. The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect was convinced and admitted defeat.

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect said, "Fellow Daoist's cultivation is truly extraordinary; I am convinced. My Ten Thousand Immortals Sect will hand over the Profound Immortal Five Qi Liquid and Wu Hao. In addition, we will offer 10000 Immortal Crystals as compensation to Fellow Daoist Lu. Is that acceptable?"

The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect knew that his defeat was inevitable, and now the only thing he needed to consider was his own life.

Lu Yuan could break his small stone shield, break his Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and from another perspective, he could also take his life.

Their Ten Thousand Immortals Sect claims to be powerful, but in reality, they are not particularly strong. The power structure in the Immortal Realm is actually a strict pyramid, with the higher up you go, the more terrifying it becomes.

The Ten Thousand Immortals Sect appears to have many immortals, hence its name "Ten Thousand Immortals."

But if they really fought, all of them combined wouldn't be enough to defeat a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, Lu Yuan's cultivation level was already comparable to that of a Great Luo Immortal. Although he didn't know how he did it, he certainly had such strength.

So it's not shameful to admit defeat when you can't win.

Both of the sect's most treasured artifacts have been destroyed. Instead of backing down and saving their lives, are they just waiting to die?
The leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect chickened out and offered to compensate Lu Yuan with 10000 immortal crystals, hoping that he would be lenient and let the matter rest.

However, Lu Yuan then shook his head.

"not enough."

Leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect: "Not enough?"

Isn't this enough?

That's 10000 immortal crystals! Even a powerful force like the Myriad Immortals Sect would have to bleed a lot of money to come up with that.

Even though you won today, don't go too far.

What else do you want? (End of Chapter)
