Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 502 The Path to Invincibility (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Stepping into the depths of the light band, the temperature plummeted, and the air was filled with a metallic chill.

The crystal staircase beneath my feet began to twist and deform, transforming into a spiral that spiraled upwards. Each step created ripples, as if I were walking on liquid starlight.

"It seems like something is watching us."

Li Yunjing suddenly raised his hand, pointing his sword forward.

Before the words were finished, the ancient runes on the wall suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and eight witch warriors carved from crystal broke through the wall.

They wielded bone blades, their eye sockets flickered with eerie green flames, and the chains binding their bodies rattled.

The leading crystal warrior let out a hoarse roar, his bone blade slicing through the void, tearing open a spatial rift from which countless tiny silver insects spewed forth.

Li Yunjing's pupils shrank sharply. Although these insects were similar to the Soul-Devouring Silver Worms, they were smaller and their bodies were wrapped in black runes.

"It's a witch insect!"

Li Yunjing shouted, "Be careful they get parasitic!"

At this moment, he could no longer train Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao, as these witch insects were extremely dangerous. With a wave of his hand, dozens of "Bing Fire Divine Thunder" exploded in mid-air.

"Boom!"

All the witch insects were blown to ash.

Seeing that their methods had failed, the eight crystal warriors simultaneously raised their bone blades and chanted ancient incantations in unison. The entire space began to collapse, and countless spatial rifts swept towards the group.

A beam of blue light suddenly shone from the center of the island, and a giant "star-patterned python" that was a hundred feet long crawled out from the crack.

The scales of this "star-patterned giant python" gleamed with a cold light, and its snake eyes swirled with a captivating, deep blue.

"What's this!"

Lu Ruoxi exclaimed, "These witch warriors are all inanimate objects, how can they still use summoning-type secret arts!"

"You protect each other, I'll break the enemy's defenses!"

Li Yunjing's eyes narrowed, and the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" was instantly summoned. Thunderous power flowed through the seal, and with a "boom," the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" flew out from between his eyebrows like a beam of light, colliding heavily with the snake's body!
Wherever the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" passed, ripples spread through the space, and the terrifying lightning almost shattered everything.

Even the eight Wu Clan warriors were affected, and they all staggered backward.

"Chichichi..."

Li Yunjing pressed his advantage, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" transformed into a stream of light, severing the necks of the warriors one after another.

With the sound of shattering crystals, the eight witch warriors finally vanished completely.

After the battle ended, a jade platform slowly rose from the center of the floating island.

On the stage were three treasures: a jade slip exuding an ancient aura, a token engraved with star patterns, and a mysterious jade bottle floating in the air.

Just as everyone held their breath and stared intently at the treasure, the jade platform suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a phantom figure of an old witch appeared from it.

The old man, clad in a robe adorned with stars, possessed a dignified countenance and held a scepter, resembling a priest of the witch clan.

"Younger generations, these three treasures were left behind by our ancestors, and they carry a secret that has been sealed for ten thousand years."

The image of the old man spoke, his voice resounding like a great bell throughout the entire floating island.

Li Yunjing and the others straightened up and listened attentively.

"This scroll, 'The Secret Manual of Starfall,' records the ancient methods of cultivating the stars. If a cultivator can decipher its mysteries, he can draw the power of the stars into his body, making him infinitely powerful."

The old man raised his hand and touched the jade slip, which shone brightly: "Back then, a great master of my Wu clan relied on this book to dominate the cultivation world. With the power of the stars, he destroyed many powerful enemies and became famous for a time."

"However, this cultivation method is difficult to master and requires going through numerous trials. If one is not careful, one will be devoured by the power of the stars and perish both in body and soul."

Upon hearing the priest's words, Li Yunjing and his companions were immediately agitated.

In the world of cultivation, there are many cultivators who cultivate starlight, moonlight, and sunlight, but to be able to cultivate to the level described by this old man must be an extremely powerful technique.

This made Li Yunjing and the other three somewhat interested.

"This is the 'Starfall Token,' the key to unlocking a hidden inheritance site of my Witch Clan."

Then, the old man's gaze shifted to the Star Token: "That inheritance site contains countless treasures and peerless techniques, and it is also protected by powerful forces."

"Those who possess the Starfall Token must pass the trials of the Inheritance Land in order to obtain the opportunity."

“Once the ‘Starfall Token’ appears, it will attract the covetous eyes of various forces, and the holder must be careful at all times.”

These words left Li Yunjing and the other three looking at each other in bewilderment. They had never heard of the "Starfall Order" before, nor did they know what secrets it held.

As for the lineage of the Wu tribe?
Is it really possible to teach this to anyone so simply?
A shadow fell over Li Yunjing and the other three, who did not seem to fully believe the words in the image.

It should be noted that in the cultivation world, the immortal path, the Buddhist path, the demonic path, the Confucian path... these are some of the more widely influential forces, having left behind many legacy stories of their predecessors in countless worlds.

But the witch clan is an exception!

This is a group that was once suppressed by a coalition of various forces!

The Wu tribe only recognizes bloodlines and has no concept of considering other humans as members of the same race.

Is this priest really so kind-hearted as to allow outsiders to gain experience and hopefully receive an opportunity?

"This jade bottle is called the 'Star Essence Bottle', and it contains a drop of the essence of stars."

At this moment, Li Yunjing and his companions had no time to think further. The old man slowly pointed to the mysterious jade bottle, his tone becoming solemn: "This liquid can help cultivators break through their realms, reshape their meridians, and even bring the dying back to life."

"However, the power of the stellar origin is extremely domineering and must be used with caution. If a cultivator's foundation is unstable, forcibly absorbing it will only cause them to explode and die."

"Back then, my Wu clan fought a fierce battle with other forces to seize this drop of the essence of the stars, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. In the end, we sealed it here."

After speaking, the old man's figure gradually disappeared, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "The treasure will be obtained by those who are destined to receive it. I hope you will use it wisely and not repeat the mistakes of my witch clan."

After the illusory figure of the old man from the witch clan completely disappeared, the floating island fell into silence.

"Something's fishy about this."

Li Yunjing stared at the three treasures emitting a faint light on the jade platform, his brows furrowed. He broke the silence first: "The Wu Clan has always been xenophobic. How could they easily leave their inheritance and treasures to outsiders? Don't you think this is a carefully set trap?"

"Perhaps this witch priest has suddenly realized his mistake and wants to make more good connections?"

Fu Chao swallowed hard, his eyes darting between the treasures, but he forced himself to say, "Besides, the 'Starfall Secret Manual' and the Star Origin Liquid are things that can defy fate!"

His voice was filled with barely concealed excitement, and his eyes were almost wide open.

"Fu Chao, don't forget, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the world of cultivation."

Yu Yunyi shook her head slightly and said with a solemn expression, "Back then, the Wu Clan was besieged because they attempted to establish an order within the Wu Clan, which threatened other forces."

"Now that a phantom has suddenly appeared and handed over its inheritance without reservation, there must be a bigger scheme behind it."

Her gaze swept over the jade bottle, and recalling the old man's words about "dying from an explosion," she couldn't help but shudder.

"I think the key is the 'Starfall Order'."

Lu Ruoxi said thoughtfully, "Opening the Inheritance Ground? We still have to pass a test? What if the so-called test is to make us work for the Witch Clan, or even..."

She lowered her voice, "To become a sacrifice for them to resurrect some powerful being?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and the temperature in the air seemed to drop even further.

"Since the treasure has appeared, rather than leaving it here and causing greater conflict, it would be better for us to keep it safe for now."

Li Yunjing stared at the three treasures, his magical power surging slightly, and finally sighed, "The matter of the Witch Clan does indeed require careful consideration."

After saying that, he reached out with his large hand, and the power of the five elements transformed into a light hand, which put the jade slip, token and jade bottle into his "storage ring".

"Once we find a safe place, we can study this 'Starfall Manual' properly. Maybe we can create a completely new cultivation method!"

Fu Chao rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

As for the distribution of the other two treasures, Fu Chao did not speak, because he knew they belonged to Li Yunjing!
Old Li's contribution is immense.

Their journey went so smoothly, all thanks to Li Yunjing.

Li Yunjing eats the meat, and everyone else just drinks some soup, which is fine!

Fu Chao's attitude is pretty good.

As for Yu Yunyi and Lü Ruoxi, they wouldn't have any objections.

They and Li Yunjing are all family.

"Watch out! A powerful aura is approaching!" Suddenly, Li Yunjing seemed to sense something, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted loudly.

A crack appeared in the sky in the distance, and seven dark figures emerged like ghosts.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, except for his eyes, which gleamed with a blood-red light as he stared intently at Li Yunjing and the others.

"Hand over the 'Starfall Token' and the 'Star Essence Bottle,' and I'll spare your lives."

The man in the black robe had a hoarse voice, like sandpaper being rubbed, which carried an undeniable sense of oppression.

"Oh? Who are you? How did you know the names of the treasures here?"

Li Yunjing's eyes sharpened, realizing he had encountered trouble. He was testing the waters, wanting to learn more about the secrets of the Witch Clan, before he finally asked.

"Ignorant brat, the appearance of the Witch Clan's secret treasure has already been known to those who are interested. Do you think you can keep it a secret?"

The man in black robes let out a sinister laugh, his blood-red pupils swirling with an eerie red light. "Hand over the treasure, and I may spare your corpses."

Before he finished speaking, six dark figures behind him simultaneously formed hand seals, and six jet-black demonic swords flew out, the chains wrapped around the swords rattling as they lashed out at Li Yunjing and his companions.

"Since you're unwilling to sign up, there's no need to say anything more!"

Li Yunjing's five elements power surged, and the "Yin Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword" drew a dazzling arc of light. The sword energy collided with the demonic sword, bursting out with a deafening roar.

"I'm curious, in the cultivation world, which Foundation Establishment cultivator would dare to speak to me like that!"

He pointed his sword at the man in black robes, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

As he spoke, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" was instantly unleashed, and the power of thunder transformed into a hundred-foot-long giant seal, which crashed down on the black-robed man's head.

"Heh heh! You think you're the only one capable of dealing with a Golden Core Realm demon king?"

The man in black robes neither dodged nor evaded. With a wave of his hand, a blood-red barrier appeared out of thin air, completely blocking the power of the Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal.

"Boy! The entire 'Tianlan Star' is enormous, with nine continents and a wealth of talent. Do you really think there's no one left who can defeat a Golden Core cultivator?"

Suddenly, a long black whip flew out from his sleeve, its tip flashing with eerie blue lightning. With a "snap," it coiled around Li Yunjing's neck like a serpent.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunyi, Lü Ruoxi, and Fu Chao felt a chill in their hearts. They hadn't expected that other forces would also have experts of Li Yunjing's caliber!

This is not good news!

"Since that's the case! You're so important, yet you don't dare to reveal your background?"

Li Yunjing remained calm as he dodged the attack, and asked coldly.

"Telling you won't hurt. We come from the 'Heavenly Demon Sect,' and I am Leng Wuhen, a true disciple of the 'Heavenly Demon Sect,' here specifically to collect the world's most precious treasures. The secrets of the Witch Clan are not something a brat like you can pry into!"

Leng Wuhen was extremely arrogant. After announcing his family name, he didn't even ask Li Yunjing a question, clearly treating Li Yunjing and the other three as if they were dead!

Only the dead don't need to reveal their names!
"Old Li, I'm here to help you!"

Seeing this, Fu Chao hurriedly threw out dozens of fire thunder beads, and amidst the explosions, flames shot into the sky.

As he shouted, he unleashed his family's secret treasure, the "Blazing Sun Shield." The golden light clashed with the black-robed man's demonic energy, sparking a shower of sparks.

"You deal with the others! I'll kill this true disciple of the 'Heavenly Demon Sect' first!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly and charged towards Leng Wuhen!
The two women and Fu Chao were locked in combat with the black-robed man's men.

"The creation of chaos!"

With a loud shout, Li Yunjing unleashed a massive sword aura imbued with the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements from his "Yin-Yang Five Elements Heavenly Evolution Sword".

The man in black robes' expression changed slightly. He formed a complex hand seal, and a huge phantom of a Netherworld Demon God appeared behind him. The Demon God opened its blood-red maw and swallowed the sword energy whole.

"Is that all you have?"

The man in black robes curled into a mocking smile. "Hand over the treasure obediently, and you might still be spared. Otherwise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yunjing suddenly vanished from his spot. With a loud "boom," he reappeared behind him, his sword pointed directly at his back.

"Otherwise, none of you will leave!"

Li Yunjing's eyes were icy as he spoke the words the man wanted to say.

The Heavenly Demon Sect is extremely powerful and is known as the number one in the demonic path!

Faced with such an enemy, even Li Yunjing had the intention to kill him all; otherwise, once this person escaped, he would surely have revealed that he had seized the inheritance of the Witch Clan.

He'll be in big trouble then.

It should be noted that the "Heavenly Demon Sect" is known as the number one in the demonic path; while the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" reigns supreme in the Southern Heaven Continent, but neither of them has ever dared to claim that they are the number one Xuanmen (mysterious sect) on "Tianlan Star"!

This is the difference!
Li Yunjing absolutely did not want to cause a major war between the "Heavenly Demon Sect" and the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" because he obtained the treasure!

It should be noted that the Shenxiao Dao Sect is currently facing extremely difficult circumstances.

Except for a very small number that remained with the Shenxiao Dao Sect, the "Azure Dragon Army," "White Tiger Army," "Black Tortoise Army," and "Vermilion Bird Army" were all dispatched to various places to maintain their rule.

Li Yunjing had already taken this kind of person very seriously.

This was the first time he had ever seen a master of the same level!
Perhaps, before breaking through to the Golden Core Realm, killing a prodigy as a sacrifice is the best way to advance!

"Go to hell!"

Just then, Leng Wuhen struck down with his palm: "Heavenly Demon Devours the Heart, All Souls Return to Emptiness, Blood is Sacrifice, Bones Turn to Mud, Palm Strike Destroys Souls!"

A pale palm strike landed heavily; this was a peerless palm technique from the "Heavenly Demon Sect," almost as powerful as Li Yunjing's "Five Elements Divine Fist."

Every move of the "Heavenly Demon Palm" has the power to shatter the heavens and the earth.

Li Yunjing's body was completely enveloped in it, and even his spirit was oppressed, as if there was no way to avoid it or escape it.

"Good! Just in time!"

As death approached and under immense pressure, Li Yunjing's mental strength exploded to its limit, his entire being like a boiling flame, his true essence burning fiercely!

Leng Wuhen's combat prowess completely ignited Li Yunjing's fighting spirit!

He wanted to crush Leng Wuhen at his most glorious moment!
"The Five Elements revolve, and Heaven and Earth borrow their power!"

"Golden blades vanquish evil, wood spirits find life!"

"Water is gentle yet powerful, fire is fierce and scorching!"

"Earth Mountain Suppresses Demons, Five Elements Divine Fist!"

"break!"

With Li Yunjing's soft shout, waves of five colors rippled across the heavens and earth.

This is Li Yunjing's "Five Elements Divine Fist"!
Since Leng Wuhen relies on his sharp palm techniques, then let's completely shatter his pride with our fist and foot techniques!

"Boom!"

This punch shook the five elements, and the power of the origin of heaven and earth surged forth. Li Yunjing seemed to be the darling of heaven and earth, carrying a majestic heavenly might, and was invincible!
His punch landed on Leng Wuhen's palm, and one of his arms immediately exploded, with flesh, bones, and meridians all shattered!

"how is this possible?"

Frustrated, Leng Wuhen roared in disbelief. He could hardly believe that in a fair exchange, he had been completely outmatched and unable to withstand the attack!
"I am going to kill you!"

Leng Wuhen was utterly enraged; the killing intent in his scarlet eyes was almost tangible.

With his other left palm, he continued to counterattack Li Yunjing!

But all of this was to no avail. Leng Wuhen's left palm was shattered instantly by Li Yunjing's left fist!

"Ah... I am the legendary 'Heavenly Demon Body'! How could I possibly be no match for you!"

Leng Wuhen was almost furious.

"Hmph! So what if it's the 'Heavenly Demon Body'? How could it possibly be a match for my Xuanmen sect?"

Having decisively defeated his opponent, Li Yunjing's spirit and energy reached their peak!
What appeared to be a simple two strikes actually unleashed Li Yunjing's most powerful strength.

"Five Elements Divine Fist" and "Thunder Tribulation Divine Fist," as Li Yunjing's signature fist techniques, are the ultimate manifestations of the Great Dao. When they defeated the "Heavenly Demon Body," they were truly sublimated!
This is the sublimation of self-confidence!

From that moment on, Li Yunjing firmly believed that his path was the invincible path!

"Boom!"

His spirit underwent a transformation!
Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, an even more powerful thunderous force poured down, erupting with a booming sound within Li Yunjing's body. Every cell in his "Thunder Divine Body" began to activate, almost showing signs of evolution!
It should be noted that this is the first time since his physical body reached its peak that it has shown a trend of further significant improvement!
