The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 227 First Grade

"We are finally reaching the First Grade."

Li Yan looked up at the sky with a calm gaze.

Daxia Imperial City.

Above the nine heavens, pitch-black clouds blocked out the sun and covered the entire sky.

The thunder in the calamity cloud is like a twisting thunder dragon, constantly moving in the calamity cloud.

Thunder roared, making a huge noise.

The calamity clouds covered an area of thousands of miles in radius, and the strong light flashed by the thunder dragon illuminated the darkness on the ground.

Xiaoshan Pass.

A group of powerful men have just eliminated all the evil demons from outer space.

He noticed the terrifying calamity clouds descending from the direction of the Great Xia Imperial City.

"How could there be such a terrifying calamity cloud? What on earth happened?"

A strong man exclaimed in surprise. Even though he was thousands of miles away, he could still feel the astonishing power contained in the calamity cloud.

A calamity cloud of such power would probably be difficult for even a first-grade strongman to deal with.

It even makes people think that a great demon has been born and that heaven has sent down divine punishment to punish the evil demon.

Chen Yan frowned slightly.

Even though he had already reached the peak of the first level, when he looked at the calamity cloud, he could feel the extremely terrifying threat contained in it.

It is hard to imagine how powerful the thunder brought down by such a terrifying calamity cloud would be.

Even with his strength, if he were involved, he would probably not survive.

Sudden.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind, and he understood the origin of the calamity cloud.

"The Ninth Prince is about to break into the First Rank."

Chen Yan stared at the thick calamity clouds in the sky and spoke slowly with a complicated expression.

After he became a Confucian sage, he would discuss and communicate with Li Yan in his spare time.

Therefore, it has long been known that Li Yan has not yet broken through to the first level.

Now that there is such a big commotion, it seems that he has broken through the bottleneck of the second grade and started to advance towards the first grade.

He was only the Ninth Prince's first rank, but he was completely different from him and all the first rank masters throughout history.

When his strength reached the second level, he was already invincible in the world.

If he could be promoted to the next level, his path would be complete.

To what extent the strength will be improved, I am afraid no one can know.

"What? Didn't the Immortal Master Zhenyan already advance to the super rank when he slew the demon god?"

Many strong men looked stunned.

They had long regarded Li Yan as the only super-class person in the world.

Now they suddenly learned from Chen Yan that Li Yan was actually just like them, only at the second level.

I almost thought I heard it wrong.

Chen Yan shook his head: "The Ninth Prince has a profound foundation. The heavenly tribulation above the imperial city at this moment is the tribulation that will break his realm and lead him to the first-grade tribulation immortal."

People like Lu Liang and Xia Yu, who already knew Li Yan's true realm, were not surprised by Chen Yan's words.

Only a genius like the Ninth Prince could bring about such a terrifying calamity of breaking through the realm.

As for other powerful people who learned the news for the first time, they all felt a sense of absurdity in their minds.

They had finally accepted the news that Li Yan had been promoted to a super-class level in just ten or twenty years, slayed the demon god, and became the number one person in the world.

But now they suddenly realized that Li Yan had actually been at the same level as them all along.

Only today was he truly promoted to the first rank.

This is really hard for them to accept.

Tai Huangzi looked towards the direction of the imperial city with excitement and said, "With the Ninth Prince's background, he has been promoted to the first rank at this moment. His strength is immeasurable."

“Perhaps, he can really use his own body to replace Tianxin and step into the realm of harmony with the Tao!”

"Hedao!"

Everyone looked stern.

Before this, they didn't have much sense of the reality of this word.

After all, Heaven gives birth to all things. How can individual strength compare with Heaven?

Even if one reaches the first level, although the strength is enough to move mountains and seas, pluck stars and grab the moon, the strength reaches the limit of human beings.

But compared with the way of heaven, there is still no comparison.

But the power that Li Yan displayed when he was born more than eighty years ago had already frightened them.

Now the road is about to be completed.

Once he succeeds, perhaps he will have a chance to rival the Way of Heaven with his own strength and reach an unprecedented state of harmony with the Way.

"Rumble..."

There was thunder in the sky.

Li Yan stood under the calamity cloud in the sky, quietly waiting for the calamity cloud to arrive.

When a sorcerer is promoted to the first-grade Tribulation Immortal, he will use Tribulation Thunder to cleanse his body, merge the physical body with the Yang Spirit, and make the physical body also contain the characteristics of the Yang Spirit.

By then, the warlock will have completely made up for his own shortcomings and achieved perfection in his path.

Li Yan was naturally no exception.

He practiced sorcery, and his physical body had always been his shortcoming.

It’s just that his cultivation speed is too fast and his methods are too diverse, so no one can hurt his body.

Now, after he has survived the thunder tribulation and been promoted to the first grade, and made up for this last defect, his Dao fruit will be complete and flawless, and he will have the capital to be in harmony with the Dao.

Click!

After accumulating for a long time, the first thunder finally fell.

The purple lightning twisted and struck down with supreme power, directly landing on Li Yan's head.

Li Yan did not use any magic to resist. At this moment, his yang soul was united with his physical body. When the thunder fell and struck his body, his yang soul directly bore the attack.

The power of this thunderbolt is so incredible that even a first-rank martial god would be seriously injured or even killed by this blow.

But starting from the ninth level, Li Yan has cultivated to the limit in every realm.

He has been in the second-grade realm for more than eighty years.

A Yang God with such a background has already exceeded anyone's imagination.

After being struck by this thunder, not only was he not injured, he was even able to refine the thunder in an instant.

The energy of the thunder seemed to penetrate the channel between his soul and his physical body.

His body transformed rapidly, reaching the level comparable to a seventh-grade warrior in the blink of an eye, and it was still constantly getting stronger.

As the first thunderbolt fell, the calamity clouds seemed to open the floodgates, and several thunderbolts fell together.

Electric snakes dance wildly and thunder dragons are born.

The thick lightning was as thick as a bucket and submerged Li Yan's body.

But even so, these thunders were instantly refined by Li Yanyang's mind and strengthened his physique.

His body was growing rapidly at an unimaginable speed.

Time passes slowly.

The calamity clouds lasted for three days and three nights and never dissipated.

There were also tens, hundreds, and thousands of thunderbolts falling continuously.

The aura on Li Yan's body continued to change, and the space next to his body had long been turned into nothingness by the lightning.

But Li Yan already had a very good study on the laws of space. Even though he was in the void at this moment, his body was not affected at all, as if he was immune to all kinds of attacks. The darkness and void could not get close to his body at all.

Sudden.

The ten thousand li calamity clouds suddenly began to converge, shrinking from ten thousand li to a thousand li, a hundred li, ten li...

But the aura in the sky not only did not weaken, but became even stronger, more than a hundred times stronger than before.

The remaining calamity clouds were illuminated by the calamity lightning.

Thousands of thunders merged into one in the calamity cloud.

Half a minute later, a terrifying thunder dragon that was a hundred feet long appeared. "Roar!"

It has deer antlers on its head, a pair of huge eyes with black pupils, a long purple beard, and its body is covered with fine scales made of golden lightning. It has four legs and nine claws, and it descends from the sky with a roar and pounces towards Li Yan.

Li Yan's expression was calm and his face was completely motionless.

As the thunder dragon flew along, the space along the way was shattered, and the fragments of space flashed with purple-gold light, radiating in all directions.

He thought about it and used his magic to stop the space fragments.

Otherwise, if these fragments fall somewhere else, even a first-class strong man may be caught in them.

"Roar!"

The purple-gold thunder dragon let out a loud roar, as if it wanted to swallow Li Yan into its stomach.

"Is this the final thunderbolt?"

Li Yan chuckled and flew towards the Thunder Dragon.

Under the impact of this thunder dragon, his yang spirit and physical body also completed the final transformation.

"First level realm, accomplished."

Li Yan felt the powerful force in his body and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

His Yang Spirit was too powerful, but with the help of this thunder tribulation, his body still completed the transformation.

At this moment, it has merged into one with his Yang Shen.

Not only does it far exceed the physical strength of a first-grade martial god, but like his Yang God, it cannot be destroyed.

Even if there is any damage, it will recover instantly.

The clouds of calamity dispersed.

The sounds of people worshipping continued to be heard from below.

Although Li Yan chose the imperial city as the place to undergo the tribulation, under his deliberate protection, the ordinary people below did not suffer any harm.

Even because of the thunder that came to the world, it was dispelled by Li Yan.

They also received some blessings and are in good health.

Some people with amputated limbs even had their limbs regenerated, as if a miracle had occurred.

"Congratulations to the Immortal Master Zhenyan for achieving the Great Dao and living as long as the heavens!"

Several rainbow lights flew over from afar, they were the return of the powerful warriors who had gone to subdue the evil demons.

Tai Huangzi spoke first, looking respectfully at Li Yan.

"Congratulations to the Immortal Master Zhenyan for achieving the Great Dao and living as long as the heavens!"

The other powerful men also echoed, their expressions full of awe.

They all witnessed with their own eyes the thunder tribulation that Li Yanduo went through. If they were even slightly touched by a thunder tribulation of such power, they would die.

But Li Yan could ignore it, as if it didn't exist at all.

His strength is far beyond their imagination.

I'm afraid they really have to do as Taihuangzi said, to be in harmony with the Tao and become the Heavenly Tao above their heads.

If they can catch his eye, they may have a chance to be favored by heaven and successfully promoted to the first rank.

Li Yan nodded slightly at them, then glanced in a certain direction of the southern region.

He stretched out his hand and gently grabbed in the air, and immediately a white-robed sorcerer with a terrified look was grabbed out from the air by him.

"Please spare my life, Immortal Zhenyan. I have a way to help you achieve harmony with the Dao!"

As soon as the white-robed sorcerer appeared, he immediately spoke loudly to Li Yan.

He was afraid that if he spoke too late, Li Yan would kill him easily.

After all, he could still clearly remember Li Yan's ferocious posture when he just survived the tribulation.

Moreover, he was in the Southern Region just now, thousands of miles away from Daxia.

Despite the distance and the fact that he had deliberately concealed himself, Li Yan still managed to capture him easily and accurately in Daxia.

Naturally, he didn't think he had a chance to escape from him.

"Xiao Han!"

When Xia Yu saw this person, anger immediately appeared on his face.

As a first-rank sorcerer of the human race, it would be fine for Xiao Han not to contribute to the human race.

However, due to the aftermath of the magic he casually cast, many innocent people of Daxia suffered.

As a result, one of the royal heirs of Great Xia was killed.

Even Li Yan was affected by the aftermath of the magic. If it weren't for his extraordinary means, he would not have returned safely from the Southern Region.

He was the most dazzling sorcerer prodigy in Da Xia, now the Immortal Lord of Truth, and I'm afraid he no longer exists.

The same was true for the other powerful men of Da Xia, with resentment in their eyes.

Li Yan laughed at Xiao Han mockingly and said, "Haha, if you have the method of combining with the Tao, how can you have this much strength?"

He had wanted to kill Xiao Han before, but his hiding skills were indeed extraordinary, and he didn't want to waste his energy on this person, so he didn't look for him deliberately.

Because in his eyes, Xiao Han has always been just a demon god.

Now that he has broken into the first level, Xiao Han can no longer hide under his nose, so he captured him directly.

"If there is even a single word of falsehood in what I said, I will be struck by lightning and die!"

Xiao Han's expression tensed, and he immediately activated his own soul and swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao.

He has been practicing till now, so how could he be willing to die?

He immediately told the whole story.

As a top-notch sorcerer, he was naturally full of fantasies about the He Dao.

His goal has always been to be in harmony with the Tao.

However, compared with Li Yan, his foundation was extremely shallow, and his potential was exhausted as soon as he entered the first level.

Therefore, it is impossible to meet the minimum requirements of the Dao.

Fortunately, he got an idea from an ancient book: warrior, sorcerer, and demon cultivator, these three paths are the external evolution of a certain aspect of the way of heaven.

As long as one can obtain the Dao fruit of a first-class strong man from these three paths at the same time.

By comprehending the fruits of these three paths, he can become more in line with the Way of Heaven, thereby reducing the difficulty of achieving harmony with the Way. With his first-class body, he also has the opportunity to achieve harmony with the Way.

But later he deduced through the divine art of heaven's secrets that a completely new path of the highest order would be born in the Great Xia Imperial City.

That's why he kept designing and leaving tricks on the demon god to urge him to be born early.

You can use the power of the demon god to weaken the potential and strength of the Confucian saint.

After the battle between the Demon God and the Confucian Sage, return to the Southern Region.

He then controlled the Demon God and perished together with the already possessed God of War, killing three birds with one stone.

"Zhenyan Immortal Venerable, everything I said is true. You have already obtained the Demon God Dao Fruit. Next, you only need to obtain the Confucian Sage Dao Fruit and the Martial God Dao Fruit. In addition, you are a first-grade sorcerer. After you comprehend all of them, you will have a great chance of succeeding in merging with the Dao!"

When Xiao Han said this, he glanced at Chen Yan beside him with a hidden look.

"I am an old man whose life span is about to end. If my Dao Fruit can help the Immortal Master achieve Dao, then I will offer it to him."

"I just heard that Senior Martial God was so obsessed with the human race that he now seals himself in the Demon Suppression Tower. Please don't attack Senior Martial God."

Chen Yan's eyes were calm.

He has become indifferent to his own life and death.

It was just that he had heard about the story of the God of War and had great respect for him.

Therefore, he did not want Li Yan to take away the Martial God Fruit in order to achieve the Dao.

"Don't worry. Do you think that I can't achieve the Dao without these Dao fruits?"

Li Yan chuckled.

Everyone was silent after hearing this.

Yes, the person in front of him is not a first-grade sorcerer like Xiao Han.

When he was at the second level, he already possessed super-level strength.

Now that he has been promoted to the first rank, even without the help of Dao Fruit, is it really difficult for Li Yan to achieve the Dao?
No one on the field thought so.

Because Li Yan's talent had long exceeded their understanding.

Although it is extremely difficult and even unimaginable for them to achieve the He Dao.

But this is not the case for Li Yan.
