Invincible!

Chapter 169 Cause and Effect
The shout seemed both close at hand and far away.

This fully demonstrates just how sophisticated the person's method of transmitting information by constricting sound was.

At the same time the sound came, it seemed that a huge flying ship broke through the clouds and leaped out from the horizon.

The airship originally seemed to be heading back to Youxian Island, but upon seeing the distress signal, it slightly changed direction and headed in this direction.

The overall size of the flying boat is slightly smaller than that of Jumang's Heavenly Boat.

However, the Jumang Sky Boat, designed for carrying people and goods, appears rather bulky, yet this warship is full of streamlined beauty.

Long and sharp, like a short sword piercing the clouds.

During flight, shimmering light flowed continuously from the hull, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at it.

"This is……"

The moment Cheng Wanli saw the airship, he seemed to realize something, and his eyes flashed with intense, delighted light: "Taiyi! This is the Taiyi warship!"

The Taiyi is the main warship of the Daluo Immortal Sect, a "Void Immortal" class vessel. Only the Supreme Elders are usually qualified to build it with the assistance of the sect.

but……

Taiyi is different!
The owner of this warship is the most respected spiritual idol in the hearts of almost all the disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

It is the only goal that most of the true disciples regard as their sole object of pursuit.

Even among the Ten Great Daoists, there were many who were willing to submit to him and submit to his commands!

He is Yi Yuanshi, the chief Daoist of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, the sect's eldest disciple, a true immortal seed, and the honorary hall master of the Xingtian Hall. His talent and genius are unparalleled, and he is regarded by the elders and even the Supreme Elders as the next generation's restorer. He is nicknamed the Return of Ten Thousand Paths to the Origin!

This chief Daoist, who is said to be the future successor to Sect Master Lu Linyuan, regards all disciples as his base and natural subordinates. He cannot stand disciples fighting each other and killing one another.

I had long heard that Falling Star Sea had gone to the outer sea, 100,000 miles north, to train and slay demons. I never thought that I would see him returning to rest on Youxian Island today!
"It's saved!"

Cheng Wanli knew very well that this chief Daoist believed that all disciples must unite as one and work together to strengthen the sect, and he would never stand by and watch his two true disciples die in front of him!

Now they're saved!
Wang Xiangdong, who also understood this, was overjoyed and immediately sent a message using his magic.

"Help me! Senior Brother Yi, help me!"

As he cried for help, a streak of light pierced through the void, traversing hundreds of miles at the speed of light.

The speed was so fast that even though Li Xian had developed his spiritual sense and activated his sword intent, he could only see a blurry afterimage.

His sword, which was originally aimed at Wang Xiangdong, melted away as soon as the stream of light struck down, its magical power and sword intent vanishing like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun.

Even his charging figure was quickly pushed away by this streak of light.

However, the streak of light merely pushed him away and did not contain any murderous intent.

Even so, this unprecedented method still left Li Xian feeling incredulous.

He couldn't even understand how he had been pushed away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli unleashed their full-speed escape techniques, heading straight for the warship.

By the time Li Xian caught up again, the Taiyi warship, which was over a hundred miles away at the edge of the sky, had already crossed the void and arrived a dozen miles away from this area.

"Stop it."

On the warship, a handsome man in his thirties, dressed in a black and white robe, spoke calmly.

His voice seemed to possess a power that could disrupt thought and influence the mind. Even Li Xian, who had cultivated sword intent, felt his mood involuntarily become calm upon hearing it.

"Li Xian! Be careful! This is a Grand Master at the peak of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation! You are no match for him! Do not provoke him!"

Lingxu immediately activated his spiritual awareness and said, "I have to hide."

After he finished speaking, all spirituality fell into complete silence.

"I will respectfully follow Brother Yi's instructions."

Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong bowed respectfully.

"Yi Daozi, the younger generation of your Great Luo Immortal Sect is quite lively. You gave me such a wonderful performance as soon as you arrived."

On the warship, a man in a golden robe spoke with a faint smile.

He was tall and handsome, with a faint golden light constantly emanating from his body.

Especially in the center of his brow, there is a golden sun tattooed on it, shining brightly. If someone were to concentrate on looking at it, they would be burned in their heart and mind, and even have their spiritual sense ignited.

Chu Jinghong!
The Daoist disciple of the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect is also a powerful being of extraordinary talent, with the potential to reach the Immortal Realm!
"Chu Daozi is making a fool of himself. Let me deal with this trivial matter first."

Yi Yuanshi responded calmly.

Then, he turned his gaze to Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong, and finally to Li Xian: "We are all from the same school, how can you kill each other so ruthlessly? You have no regard for brotherhood at all! This is truly outrageous!"

"Junior brother, you are guilty."

Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong quickly bowed and admitted their mistake.

The posture suggested that he was not facing a fellow disciple, but rather a senior master.

“I recognize you, Cheng Wanli, Elder Wei Ruhai’s nephew.”

Yi Yuanshi then asked directly, "Tell me, what happened?"

"It's a misunderstanding."

Cheng Wanli hurriedly said, "We were also deceived... That junior brother's name was Li Xian. When he was in the inner sect, he had a conflict with the Immortal Light Society founded by Yan Cailian, a true disciple of our sect. This time, I came to Falling Star Sea with Junior Sister Yan. Junior Sister Yan learned of his whereabouts and went to confront him, but unfortunately, she died..."

He dared not hide it.

"Hmm? The true disciple died?"

Yi Yuanshi frowned slightly, his gaze falling on Li Xian: "I remember all 360 true disciples of my Great Luo Immortal Sect, and you are not among them. Are you a newly promoted core disciple? Did you kill Yan Cailian?"

"good."

Li nodded.

“Yan Cailian may have made a mistake first, but you shouldn’t have killed her. If she has made a mistake, the sect can deal with her as it sees fit.”

Yi Yuanshi said in an unquestionable tone.

Then, he turned to Cheng Wanli: "Why did you fight to the death with each other?"

"After Yan Cailian's death, we were overwhelmed with grief. Just then, Jiang Rufeng, the chief disciple of the Danxia Sect, claimed that Li Xian had colluded with demonic cultivators to kill Junior Sister Yan. I was very close to Junior Sister Yan, and in my anger, I was caught off guard and believed Jiang Rufeng's words, which is why I wanted to arrest him..."

Cheng Wanli said bitterly, "When we realized the misunderstanding, we immediately killed Jiang Rufeng and hoped to make peace with Senior Brother Li. However, Senior Brother Li was relentless and not only took away the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover from Senior Brother Wang, but also demanded that we pay for our blood debt. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yi's rescue, we would probably have perished here."

Wang Xiangdong, who was standing to the side, quickly added, "The fault lies with us. As I just said, we are willing to offer compensation to Senior Brother Li, even if it means going bankrupt... We earnestly request Senior Brother Yi to intercede on our behalf. A generous apology will still be effective."

"Oh, so you killed the culprit named Jiang Rufeng?"

Yi Yuanshi looked at Cheng Wanli, his voice carrying a powerful, awe-inspiring force.

Cheng Wanli felt his mind waver and involuntarily said, "Jiang Rufeng has already been killed by our combined efforts..."

The next moment, he seemed to suddenly wake up, breaking out in a cold sweat, and looked at Yi Yuanshi with awe.

"Since you have already realized your mistakes, then correct them properly. How ridiculous it is to turn your swords against your own fellow disciples!"

As Yi Yuanshi spoke, he turned his gaze to Li Xian.

"Yan Cailian targeted you first, and was killed by you..."

He paused, seemingly somewhat displeased with his killing, but ultimately upheld fairness and justice: "She brought it upon herself, but Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong were misled. They personally killed the misleaders to set the record straight and are willing to make compensation. Let's just let this matter go. I'll decide that each of them will pay you ten million in compensation. How about that?"

A great achievement!

Basically, this represents all the wealth of the Four Realms True Disciples without selling their core assets such as magic treasures!
The compensation is substantial.

But if this matter could be resolved...

That would be perfect!
Cheng Wanli immediately replied, "I have no objection and will follow Senior Brother Yi's arrangements."

Wang Xiangdong also said, "I am also following Senior Brother Yi's decree. In fact, I am willing to sell the magic treasures I have to compensate for the loss of 30 million merit points! However... the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover is something I borrowed from Senior Brother Shen Zangxing to comprehend Yin and Yang. I implore Senior Brother Li to return it."

After saying that, he added, "I know that 30 million merit points are not enough to counteract the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover. If Senior Brother Li is still unwilling, I can borrow more... However, even if I borrow, I can only raise 50 million merit points in a short time... Please give Senior Brother Li some more time."

"Six Yang Divine Fire Cover?"

Yi Yuanshi's heart stirred.

No wonder the name of this magical artifact seemed familiar; it turns out it belongs to Shen Zangxing.

That one...

But he is a cultivator at the Sun Realm who possesses the Sun Dao Body!

If one finds the right opportunity to comprehend the interaction of Yin and Yang, one can cultivate the immortal elixir and become a new Daoist.

Such a person naturally deserves his attention.

"Selling your magic weapons, or even taking out a loan, is one thing. The fact that you've contributed all your resources already shows your sincerity. As fellow disciples, we should be more understanding."

Yi Yuanshi turned his gaze to Li Xian: "Take out the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover and return it to its rightful owner. Of course, I won't be generous with other people's money."

A crystal appeared in his hand: "This is compensation for you."

"Ok?"

Chu Jinghong, who was standing to the side, was a little surprised when Yi Yuanshi took out the crystal. After a moment, she smiled and said, "This is not compensation. You clearly want to cultivate him properly."

“I observe that his cultivation level is only at the Magic Power Realm, yet he was able to chase down two fourth-realm true disciples who fled in panic. This shows that he has exceptional talent and should be given some guidance.”

Yi Yuanshi said calmly.

"This kid is lucky to have a fair and just senior brother like you."

Chu Jinghong's感慨评.

"Li Xian, take out the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover."

Yi Yuanshi had already turned his gaze to Li Xian.

"Yi Daozi".

Li Xian looked at the Chief Daoist, whose every word and action exuded an unquestionable authority, and slowly said, "Let's not discuss how much truth or falsehood Cheng Wanli has to say. Right now, Daoist Yi wants to make a decision on this matter with a single word... I want to ask, do you intend to take on the karma between me, Cheng Wanli, and Wang Xiangdong?"

"Um!?"

After Li Xian said this, not to mention Yi Yuanshi.

Even Chu Jinghong of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect seemed quite surprised.

As for Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli, their breath caught in their throats, and then an overwhelming sense of unease and worry suddenly welled up in their hearts.

That's Yi Yuanshi, Yi Daozi!
Even Yi Daozi has stepped in...

Li Xian, you're actually adding fuel to the fire, refusing to let this matter go!?
"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that I'm here to mediate your dispute and take on the responsibility for this cause and effect."

Yi Yuanshi's voice rang out again: "Do you have any other requests? Feel free to make them."

"Although you agreed, I still need to explain."

Li Xian said solemnly, "Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong have targeted me more than once or twice! Their so-called 'misunderstanding' is completely nonexistent. Whether it was Yan Cailian before or the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover that they specially borrowed, their purpose was only one: to kill me! Knowing that they have targeted me time and time again, you... still want to stand on their side and accept this consequence?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Wanli quickly said, "Senior Brother Li, did you listen to those demonic cultivators and think we were going to ambush you? I swear to God, I absolutely did not intend to fight to the death from the beginning..."

He kept recalling his state of mind back then.

When Yan Cailian was communicating with her at Zhenchuan Peak, he really didn't pay much attention to Li Xian.

After all, at that time he never imagined that Li Xian could threaten them so quickly. So his words did have a touch of sincerity.

Yi Yuanshi glanced at him.

He could tell that Cheng Wanli's words were somewhat exaggerated.

but……

The specific situation can only be investigated covertly.

He firmly believed that Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong were genuinely willing to apologize and beg for Li Xian's forgiveness, and that his judgment was correct.

Since we belong to the same school and the other party has genuinely admitted their mistake, what conflict cannot be resolved?
Internal strife, especially happening right in front of Chu Jinghong, a Daoist disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, is truly a disgrace to the Daluo Immortal Sect.

Family scandals should not be made public.

He just wants to suppress this matter as soon as possible.

"Alright, Mr. Li, I know you've been wronged in this matter, but no matter what, Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli don't deserve to die. Even if they are found to have problems in the end, the sect's rules and regulations will punish them severely, instead of you fighting each other to the death in private."

Yi Yuanshi looked at Li Xian: "Although you are not a true disciple at the moment, with your strength, it should not be difficult for you to be selected as a true disciple. As a true disciple of the Immortal Sect, if you act like those rogue cultivators and let your emotions run wild by fighting to the death over a little grudge, wouldn't that damage the prestige of my Immortal Sect?"

"So, you're sticking to your decision?"

Li Xiandao.

"good."

Yi Yuanshi nodded slightly: "As the chief Daoist of the sect, I should ensure the safety of every disciple. This is the big picture. Only in this way can the sect be united. In the future, if you are in danger, I will also stand up to protect your life."

After saying that, he flicked his finger, and the crystal flew directly towards Li Xian: "This is my compensation to you! If you feel it's not enough, you can bring it up, and as long as it's reasonable, I will try my best to meet your needs!"

"no need."

Li Xian waved his hand, and the crystal was returned to him: "This item is also useless. Since you have accepted this karma, I have only one request."

"Oh, you said?"

"In the future, when I stand before you again, you can unleash your full power and fight me to the bitter end, settling this score!"

Li Xiandao.

Upon hearing this, Yi Yuanshi was once again taken aback.

Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli, however, suddenly opened their eyes wide.

What did they hear?!

Li Xian's words...

"Hahaha!"

Chu Jinghong burst into laughter, as if his eyes had been opened: "Yi Yuanshi, did you hear that? He's provoking you! Your junior brother Li Xian is provoking you, the chief Daoist!"

It took Yi Yuanshi quite a while to recover from Li Xian's words.

He glanced at Li Xian, then at Chu Jinghong beside him, and after a moment, he smiled and said, "This is not a provocation."

He paused, then said, "My junior brother Li here has ambitions that are higher than the sky and an arrogance that soars to the clouds!"

"Still thinking you're all that? This is downright arrogant and conceited! Aren't you going to teach this a lesson?"

As Chu Jinghong spoke, he seemed to realize something and glanced in the direction of Youxian Island: "I forgot, this distance... is already within the perception range of your Great Luo Immortal Sect's Mirror Spirit Avatar."

"Arrogant? Arrogant people are those who lack ability. My junior brother Li is quite remarkable."

Yi Yuanshi chuckled and nodded. Soon, information about Li Xian appeared.

"He was born with a reverse path to the Dao and mastered supreme magic. He could easily kill demons and demonic cultivators of the fourth realm. He also mastered sword intent in the magic power realm. Now he can fight two opponents at once, causing two true disciples of the fourth realm to flee in panic. I estimate that he is truly a 'brilliant sun' in terms of potential."

"A dazzling, blazing sun!?"

Chu Jinghong was slightly startled.

Their gazes also lingered on Li Xian with surprise.

"With such talent, it's no wonder he dares to speak so arrogantly in front of you."

“If it weren’t for my principles and the need to protect every disciple, I probably would have handed Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli over to him directly.”

Yi Yuanshi smiled, and after a moment, he turned his gaze to Li Xian.

"If this is all you're asking for..."

His expression returned to calm: "I agree."

"it is good."

Li Xian glanced at Cheng Wanli and Wang Xiangdong, then took out the Six Yang Divine Fire Cover and tossed it over.

"call out!"

Just then, a beam of light was projected into the void and solidified into a form.

"How about I be your witness?"

Along with it came a spiritual fluctuation.

After its form solidified, not only Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli, but even the two Daoist disciples, Yi Yuanshi and Chu Jinghong, bowed and nodded in greeting: "Your Majesty Xuanling."

It was the spirit of the Haotian Mirror.

Of course, Youxian Island is just a secondary mirror, that is, an avatar of Haotian Mirror Spirit.

It returned the greeting to Yi Yuanshi: "Yi Daozi".

He then nodded to Chu Jinghong and said, "You two prodigies will have a spectacular duel at some point in the future to settle the cause and effect of today's events. So, I will be here to witness it. What do you two think?"

Yi Yuanshi looked at the Haotian Mirror Spirit that had appeared, but did not reply immediately.

Instead, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "He...isn't a brilliant prodigy?"

This inquiry clearly carries two meanings.

Xuanling understood it, yet it seemed she didn't.

It simply replied, "He is."

Upon hearing this, Yi Yuanshi laughed and said, "Interesting."

Then, Huoda said, "Since Your Majesty Xuanling is interested in this, then so be it."

After saying that, he regained his composure: "However, I won't wait for him for too long. It will be ten years at the earliest, thirty years at the latest, before I can transcend the tribulation. By then, I won't have that much free time to hone the prodigy."

"ten years."

Xuanling nodded slightly: "If he can't reach this level, then it's just bad luck."

"Ah."

Yi Yuanshi responded, glanced at Li Xian, and said nothing more. Instead, he swept away Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli with a wave of his sleeve.

Then, with a roar, Taiyi took off, broke through the clouds, and headed straight for Youxian Island.

Li Xian looked at this enormous vessel...

Although it was slightly smaller than the Jumang Sky Boat, even with his current strength, it would still be no easy task to cut it down from mid-air.

In particular, this behemoth is engraved with many formations, and its defensive power is obviously extremely strong.

estimate……

He needs to break through several more realms to achieve that.

As Taiyi departed, Xuanling's gaze turned to Li Xian.

It did not blame Li Xian for offending Yi Yuanshi, nor did it even ask how he would ultimately resolve the matter.

It acted as if nothing had happened, and asked with a smile, "Have you come here to exchange for the Five Primordial Elements?"

This shift in topic naturally surprised Mr. Li.

"I thought..."

“Every prodigy’s growth is unique. They have chosen their own path, so naturally we will not interfere too much and will let them continue on their own path.”

Xuanling knew what he wanted to say and responded. After a moment, she added, "Furthermore, the sect's rules apply equally to everyone and will not be changed based on anyone's status."

rule.

Upon hearing these two words, Li Xian gained a new understanding.

He nodded: "I understand."

"So, would you like to change your choice?"

Xuanling asked, "Should I pass your information on to Grandmaster Yue?"

"Oh? My rating has been upgraded?"

Li asked curiously.

"Due to some unforeseen circumstances, you are currently still rated 'Radiant Sun'."

Xuanling said, "The sect may have some arrangements in certain events, but... it is not omniscient or omnipotent, especially when it comes to the private affairs of important figures, the sect will not interfere too much."

"There are arrangements in place, such as... the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea?"

Li asked first.

"You can think so."

Xuanling said, "But even if you don't choose to participate in the siege of the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea, what is destined to happen will still happen. The sect will not revolve around any one person."

"I understand."

Li Xian didn't ask any further questions, but instead returned to the main topic: "So, are there any suitable innate five elements available for me to use on Youxian Island?"

"Have."

Xuanling smiled slightly: "Also, there are a few other tasks here. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

After saying that, it directly presented five or six tasks.

Each mission involves slaying demons of the fifth realm, or even cultivators of the fifth realm.

The rewards offered are extremely generous.

It basically points directly to entities like the Azure Emperor's Wood Emperor Qi and the Black Emperor's Profound Water Qi.

It was practically an open declaration that these tasks were prepared specifically for him.

"..."

"You can choose not to accept these tasks. The sect will not forcibly interfere with the growth of any prodigy."

Xuanling Dao.

"Answer it! Why aren't you answering it!"

Li Xian readily listed the items in his storage bracelet in a table: "Estimate the value of these items for me, and then exchange them for a piece of Azure Emperor Wood Royal Qi!"
