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

Chapter 262 Sword Intent
Li Yan was originally practicing well in his small residence in the bamboo forest.

There are formations here to isolate external interference, as well as spirit gathering formations to gather spiritual energy. It is a good place for cultivation.

He had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and was preparing to cultivate until he reached perfection in the Spiritual Transformation stage before coming out of seclusion.

However, he didn't expect that while he was practicing, he suddenly had a feeling in his mind. He probed outside the formation with his spiritual thoughts, and then he found that a group of cultivators had gathered outside his cave.

And when the old ancestor Mo, who was in the spirit transformation stage, opened his mouth and threatened that the old ancestor Qingya should hand over the rare treasure.

Li Yan also understood that these cultivators all had bad intentions.

So he immediately came out of the cave and scolded these monks.

When Li Yan said this, all the cultivators were stunned.

They all looked up and saw Li Yan wearing a blue and white robe, stepping on the void, obviously coming out from the formation restriction below.

He exuded a powerful aura comparable to that of a peak Nascent Soul. Now he was looking at the cultivators from afar with a cold gaze.

And after Li Yan appeared, the vortex of spiritual energy in the formation below began to gradually dissipate.

The vortex of spiritual energy that seemed to be about to break through the Spirit Transformation Stage was actually caused by the young cultivator who rose into the air below.

Who is this?

A trace of doubt arose in the hearts of all the cultivators.

In the Qingya Sect, there is only Patriarch Qingya, who is in the late Nascent Soul stage.

But why is there a young man exuding the aura of a peak Nascent Soul stage now?

Moreover, this young man's tone is so arrogant that he dares to be so presumptuous in front of Ancestor Mo!
Ancestor Mo is the ancestor of the Divine Transformation Realm. Although this young man is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, how can he withstand Ancestor Mo's attack?

Bai Yu's expression condensed, a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he said sternly: "What an arrogant boy, do you really think that you are invincible after reaching the peak of Yuanying!"

He is the most talented person in Luoxia Sect except for Patriarch Mo.

Since the day he joined the sect, he has received all kinds of preferential treatment.

Where have I heard such filthy words before? How dare you call him a wild dog?

This is simply seeking death!
Patriarch Mo's eyes moved and he looked hesitant, but he did not act rashly.

For some reason, he actually saw the aura of a top-notch strong man in Li Yan below.

When he was traveling in a large area of Beizhou, he met a great man in the Hedao period. He saw him from afar and his temperament is still fresh in his memory.

But now, he actually felt a similar temperament in Li Yan.

How could a young cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, no matter how talented he was, possibly possess such temperament?
His heart moved, as if he had thought of something.

The consciousness in my mind was suddenly filled with an intense chill, as if it had been struck by the breath of a frosty dragon.

His originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense.

He looked as if facing a formidable enemy and did not dare to act rashly as he looked at Li Yan.

As for Patriarch Qingya, he had been completely stunned when he sensed the powerful aura on Li Yan that was comparable to that of the peak Nascent Soul stage.

He even thought at one point that he had fallen into an illusion cast by Master Mo, which was why he saw such an incredible scene.

After all, it was only more than half a year ago that Li Yan entered the foundation-building stage.

But now the aura on Li Yan's body has obviously reached the Nascent Soul stage, and is even stronger than his own.

How could he believe the truth of what he was seeing?

However, the facts were before him. After Old Ancestor Qingya confirmed that he was not in an illusion, a look of ecstasy suddenly arose in his mind, and then his eyes were filled with hidden worry.

He made up his mind and immediately sent a voice message to Li Yan: "Li Yan, Patriarch Mo is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Stage. You are not his match yet!"

"Grandmaster, I will stop Grandmaster Mo later, you should take this opportunity to escape!"

After he discovered that Li Yan had indeed reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he was originally happy that he could accept Li Yan, a disciple with extraordinary talent, into the sect.

But then he remembered that Patriarch Mo was right in front of him. Although Li Yan had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, how could he be a match for Patriarch Mo.

Therefore, he immediately made a decision to stop Patriarch Mo and help Li Yan escape from Ziling Province!
Li Yan's talent should allow him to achieve greater things.

He really didn't want to see Li Yan die in the Qingya Sect.

"escape?"

Li Yan smiled, he certainly wouldn't run away.

With his current strength, even if he didn't activate the power of the Mo Yuan Sword, he didn't need to take these people in front of him seriously.

A fourth-rank sword master who has practiced the Taiyi Sword Canon is not worthy of the title of sword master if he cannot even kill a mere Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

"Ancestor, this young man has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age. He must have stolen our sect's rare treasure to achieve such success."

“Please, Master, kill this young man and take back the treasure to my Luoxia Sect!”

Bai Yu bowed and shouted to Patriarch Mo.

In his eyes, Li Yan was just lucky enough to get the Qingya Sect's rare treasure and was able to advance to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

With his own strength, he is no match for Li Yan.

But Patriarch Mo is right beside him. With Patriarch Mo’s strength, what does the mere peak of the Nascent Soul stage mean to him?
Bai Yu originally just wanted to find an excuse for Ancestor Mo to take action. After all, the Luoxia Sect considered itself to be a famous and upright sect.

If word gets out that Patriarch Mo attacked Qingya Sect for the sake of rare treasures, it will have a bad reputation in the future.

They simply turned black into white and directly said that the rare treasure that did not exist at all was lost by the Luoxia Sect.

In this way, it is reasonable for Patriarch Mo to come to Qingya Sect and take action against Li Yan and Patriarch Qingya who stole the rare treasure.

"Do you really think there is some rare treasure?"

Li Yan smiled lightly.

How could he tolerate Bai Yu daring to confuse right and wrong in front of him?

Li Yan pinched out a sword finger with his right hand, and the true energy in his body suddenly gathered at his fingertips to form a sword energy.

The next moment, it flew towards Bai Yu.

The sword energy was as fast as thunder, and even Patriarch Mo didn't have time to react before it fell on Bai Yu.

And the moment it touched Bai Yu's body, the sword energy split into countless sword threads, like a dense net, wrapping his body tightly.

"Ancestor, save me!"

When Li Yan made a sword finger, Bai Yu suddenly felt a sense of crisis in his mind.

But Li Yan's sword energy was extremely fast, and before he could dodge, he was hit by the sword energy. He was immediately filled with panic and called for help from Patriarch Mo.

When Patriarch Qingya saw that Li Yan subdued Bai Yu with just one sword strike, he felt relieved.

His originally nervous expression also calmed down: "I didn't expect Li Yan's strength to be so strong. He subdued Bai Yu in the blink of an eye. With Bai Yu in hand, Patriarch Mo will be cautious and dare not act rashly."

Bai Yu is the most talented disciple of Luoxia Sect. In the future, he will most likely enter the Spirit Transformation Stage and take over the heavy responsibility from Ancestor Mo.

Now that it has fallen into Li Yan's hands, Patriarch Mo will certainly not ignore it.

Patriarch Mo became anxious. He originally wanted to keep his troops in place and wait and see Li Yan's next reaction to judge whether his guess was right or wrong.

However, Bai Yu suddenly spoke, angering Li Yan, and was directly trapped by Li Yan's sword energy that turned into a sword net.

He recognized that the method used by Li Yan was the fourth level of swordsmanship, refining the sword into thread, and he was even more wary of Li Yan.

If a cultivator can master the art of sword-refining, he can be called a fourth-level sword candidate and can compete with a god-transforming cultivator.

Now that I see it, it is true.

Just now, the speed of Li Yan's sword energy was so fast that even he couldn't stop it.

It turned out that he had already reached the state of mastering the sword skill into silk.

As for perfection?

That was a realm that only the sword master could reach, not something that ordinary people could touch, and Patriarch Mo did not think about it that way. "Please, fellow Taoist, let my disciple go!"

Patriarch Mo had some speculations about Li Yan's identity and was already wary of him.

It was revealed inadvertently in the way he addressed Li Yan.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm actually called himself a fellow cultivator with a junior in the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Jindan cultivators from various sects present, as well as Patriarch Qingya, were all filled with surprise when they saw that Li Yan was actually going to hear Patriarch Mo addressing Li Yan.

However, Li Yan didn't take his words to heart at all.

Although he had already perfected the sword-wielding technique, this was the first time he used it against an enemy.

Therefore, he did not kill Bai Yu directly, but instead used the sword silk to weave a sword net to trap him, and realized the mystery of this realm.

"The sword art of the Taiyi Sword Realm is indeed somewhat mysterious."

Li Yan's eyes lit up. Now that he had mastered the realm of sword-making into silk, his understanding was clearer than during his previous daily practice.

"These sword realms can be cultivated and activated not only in the Taiyi Sword Realm, but also in all realms. Even in the Real Realm, they can be cultivated and activated."

Just now he had a feeling in his mind that his real body was in the real world, and he tried to use the magic power of the Seven Souls Realm to activate the sword energy to transform into silk. The power was equally extraordinary, and it could even be compared to some magical powers.

This made him begin to vaguely realize that the sword system in the Taiyi Sword Realm was of extraordinary value.

If it were spread to the human race in the real world.

Among the human race in the real world, the sword system will take a big step forward.

Li Yan's eyes showed anticipation, and he was even more curious about the several realms of swordsmanship after he had mastered the sword art.

"boom!"

After experiencing the mystery of practicing sword into silk, Li Yan no longer wanted to spare Bai Yu's life.

The sword net tightened directly, and Bai Yu's body was cut into tiny dust in an instant.

With a slight breeze, it turns into nothingness and dissipates into heaven and earth.

His Nascent Soul was unable to escape from the sword net and was transformed into a rich, pure spiritual energy, which replenished the spiritual energy consumed in the back mountain due to Li Yan's practice.

The scene was extremely silent for a moment, and the breathing of the Jindan monks from various sects seemed to stagnate, not daring to move at all.

They knew very well how important Bai Yu was to Patriarch Mo. Otherwise, Patriarch Mo would not have sent Bai Yu to look for the rare treasure.

The original meaning was that after finding the rare treasure, if it was of no use to him, he would hand it over to Bai Yu to deal with.

But now, Li Yan killed Bai Yu directly in front of everyone, under the nose of Patriarch Mo.

Completely ignoring Patriarch Mo's pleas for mercy, these Jindan cultivators all had tense expressions, and were ready to escape immediately if they were not careful.

They didn't want to anger the Demon Ancestor at this time and end up being buried with Bai Yu for no reason.

When Patriarch Qingya saw that Li Yan killed Patriarch Mo's beloved disciple just because of a disagreement, he was shocked.

With Bai Yu's death, Patriarch Mo has nothing to worry about. This is probably going to be bad!
Patriarch Qingya's expression suddenly changed, and he was about to take action to resist Patriarch Mo and let Li Yan escape.

Patriarch Mo stared blankly at the place where Bai Yu died, and his heart suddenly suffocated.

He didn't expect that Li Yan would kill Bai Yu in front of him. Grief appeared in his eyes, and then his mind was filled with murderous intent.

"Even if you are truly a reincarnated strong man, what can you do?"

"You are still in the Nascent Soul stage. Even if you are a fourth-rank sword candidate, how dare you kill my disciple in front of me!?"

"I'm not in the early stage of transformation!"

The weather in the sky of Qingya Sect changed. Countless vital energies of heaven and earth were summoned by Patriarch Mo and condensed into a giant palm that covered the sky. It came from top to bottom, suppressing Li Yan.

This is the method of controlling the vital energy of heaven and earth that one possesses in the Spirit Transformation Stage. It is extremely powerful. Moreover, Patriarch Mo is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage who is at the peak of his powers.

Moreover, not only Li Yan was bound by the Qi, but also Patriarch Qingya and even the Jindan cultivators from various sects who came with Bai Yu were all restrained by the Qi. Their true essence was suppressed and they could not move their whole body.

"Oh no! This old thief Mo wants us to be buried with Bai Yu!"

"How could this old thief Mo be so cruel? This matter has nothing to do with us!"

These Jindan cultivators also realized at this moment that Patriarch Mo would not let them go even.

At this moment, it seemed as if he was going to kill them all together, and they all started cursing at Old Ancestor Mo.

"So that's how it is, this is the sword intention!"

Under the pressure of the Shenhua Qi machine, Li Yan felt that there was a force in the true energy in his body that resisted the pressure of the Shenhua Qi machine.

This power is the sword intent.

Although Li Yan was restrained by the Qi, his movements were not affected at all.

As early as when he was practicing Qi, the innate sword energy he condensed contained a hint of sword intent.

However, this trace of sword intent was extremely weak, but as Li Yan's sword realm continued to grow, this trace of sword intent continued to grow stronger.

Even today, the Qi restraints of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm cannot hold him back in the slightest.

"The fact that sword cultivators can fight against opponents of higher ranks must be due to the influence of sword spirit."

Li Yan understood.

He formed a sword finger in his hand again, but this time, three thousand sword energies condensed from his fingertips, as if to cover the sky and the sun.

The giant palm of vitality was actually somewhat overshadowed by the might of the three thousand sword energies.

"go with!"

Li Yan shouted softly.

The three thousand sword energies suddenly split into countless green threads, and transformed into a giant ball formed by countless green threads, which directly trapped the giant Yuan Qi palm and Ancestor Mo on the giant palm.

"This... could it be the Sword Domain!"

Patriarch Qingya’s eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

He was very knowledgeable and knew that some of the top fifth-level sword masters all mastered a technique called Sword Domain, and he had even been fortunate enough to see it once.

And now, the giant ball condensed by Li Yan with sword silk actually gave him the same feeling.

The giant blue sword ball shrank continuously in the blink of an eye, and finally became the size of a quail egg.

Although Patriarch Mo was a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he was unable to hold on in this green sword domain and died there.

However, the storage bag on his body was kept by Li Yan, which might contain the fifth-level sword technique that Li Yan needed.

For Li Yan, only the fifth-level sword technique has some value to him.

"We would like to thank you for saving our lives!"

"We were forced by Luoxia Sect before and offended Qingya Sect a little, but we will definitely make up for the losses of Qingya Sect in the future. I hope you can forgive me!"

When the cultivators from various sects saw that Patriarch Mo was actually killed by a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, they all gasped and hurriedly thanked Li Yan with nervous expressions and asked for forgiveness.

Li Yan did not take action against these people and left them to the Qingya Patriarch to deal with.

After a brief thought, Patriarch Qingya decided to let these people go.

These people are still needed to go out and tell everyone about today's events. It was Luoxia Sect that started the trouble first, and their Qingya Sect was forced to fight back, which led to the killing of Bai Yu and Ancestor Mo.

In the Taiyi Sword Realm, the top sword sects would send people to maintain order in various places.

It would be bad if we kill all the Jindan cultivators from various sects and label the Qingya Sect as an evil sect.

"Grandmaster, what on earth happened here?"

The Jindan elder of Qingya Sect arrived late.

They looked at the aftermath of the battle around them, as well as the anxious expressions of the Jindan monks from various sects, and couldn't help but ask questions.
