Invincible!

Chapter 175 Unparalleled Peerless
"It's actually Minghuang Stone, one of the raw materials for the Five-Colored Stone."

Li Xian identified the origin of this material.

In ancient times, there was a life-or-death struggle between innate demons and gods, which ultimately shattered the Great World of True Immortals, causing the chaotic primordial energy from the outside world to pour down, almost causing the entire Great World of True Immortals to return to chaos.

Fortunately, a powerful being refined five-colored stones to mend the heavens, thus preventing the destruction of the True Immortal World.

Minghuang stone is one of the materials used to refine the five-colored stone.

"This is a material on par with pure gold from the sun."

Just this one is probably worth several hundred million.

"Indeed... going out to train is the best way to obtain supplies."

Selling this bright yellow stone to the sect, even at the lowest price of half, would still be enough for him to exchange for a piece of Sun Gold.

If it were a complete piece of Sun Gold, he could easily cultivate the Sun Chasing Sword Qi to the third level, let alone the fourth level.

After all, with his Great Devouring Technique, his efficiency in utilizing rare and precious materials far surpasses that of ordinary people.

"The Sun-Chasing Sword Qi is about to overtake us... However, to prevent the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi from stealing the show, we still need to cultivate the Floating Dawn True Body to the fourth level before switching to the Sun True Gold."

And the fourth level of Fu Li's true form...

It's not that difficult.

He glanced at the long banner.

As an elder of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect, he was not a rootless rogue cultivator, and thus he was able to afford magic treasures of the fourth realm.

Although this long banner is of mediocre quality and only enhances spells related to nurturing evil spirits, its cost price is estimated to be fifty to sixty million, and it can be sold to a sect for twenty to thirty million.

Of course, as he was cultivating the Floating Dawn True Body, he had no intention of selling this item to the sect.

Besides the bright yellow stone and this magical artifact...

He turned his gaze to the storage bags of several experts from the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect and examined them one by one with his spiritual sense.

The raw gold and refined gold used as currency together are worth about a million.

On the one hand, the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect also has a merit-based system similar to that of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, so there is no need to convert it into red gold or refined gold to carry on one's person.

on the other hand……

Elders are different from true disciples. Their potential has been exhausted, and the sect provides them with limited assistance, so their income is not high to begin with.

"There isn't much pure gold or refined gold, but all the materials and magical artifacts combined are worth ten or twenty million... However, that's not the point."

Li Xian took out a catalog, examined it for a moment, and then quickly flew off in one direction.

Before long, they arrived at a mine that seemed to have been abandoned recently.

As Li Xian ventured deeper into the mine, he soon arrived at a formation.

As he took out a formation flag and waved it, the formation was quickly activated, and an area that had previously collapsed appeared in front of him.

But this collapsed area leads directly to an underground river. As Li Xian ventured deeper, a surging, malevolent aura rushed towards him from the river.

He soon arrived at a relatively spacious area where a small formation existed. As the formation was activated, all the malevolent energy continuously converged upon it.

"This level of concentration... the intensity of the baleful energy that erupted from the crack I discovered when I killed the Nine Demons of the Nether Sea wasn't much stronger than this formation."

Li Xian quickly determined: "This is a treasure land for refining evil spirits."

The Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends can be seen as the stellar power inherent in a star.

Many cultivators at the fourth realm often try to condense their inner energy and refine their inner energy first, so that they can adapt to the characteristics of this power before drawing in the power of the Yin and Yang to avoid exploding and dying.

The Great Luo Immortal Sect possesses the Zhou Tian Star Array, which can draw upon the power of stars from the heavens and transform it into the essence of Yin and Yang.

but……

Such resources are quite expensive, and aside from those who receive direct instruction and elders in high positions, most impoverished resident elders may not be able to afford them.

Moreover, in addition to condensing qi and refining evil, many spells, as well as the refining of magical treasures and elixirs, require extremely high levels of evil qi in such places.

Therefore, if he reports this place of refining evil spirits, it can be considered as opening up a resource point.

"This place of refining evil spirits was probably discovered by chance, and eventually the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect found out about it. That's why they stirred up trouble here, supported two local families to control Rakshasa Island, and sent the Burning Passion Divine Son here to refine his evil spirits in order to break through to the Taiyin True Yuan Realm..."

Li Xian pondered for a moment, then made a grasping motion with his hand, and a surge of murderous aura rapidly gathered around him.

"The quality of this evil energy is very high. No wonder it caught the eye of that divine son of Fenqing. It has been of great help to my cultivation of the Fuli True Body."

The next moment, he unleashed the Great Devouring Technique, and his entire being seemed to transform into a black hole. The earthly evil energy that had been gathered by the formation continuously converged into his body.

In just a few dozen breaths, the amount of malevolent energy he devoured was no less than that of refining a second-realm ghost.

"Cultivate here for a period of time, and then inform the sect."

Li Xian made a decision.

At that moment, he activated the Great Devouring Technique, directly absorbing the surrounding malevolent energy and thinning it out considerably.

Then, the array flags were used to reactivate the outer array, sealing off the area.

After doing all this, he took off on his sword and went directly to the Luo family's headquarters.

The Luo family was originally a powerful clan on Rakshasa Island. At its peak, the clan had more than ten Foundation Establishment experts and hundreds or even thousands of Innate disciples, ruling over a large city with a population of over one million.

Not long ago, with the support of the Demonic Sect, a high-level cultivator at the third realm was born.

When Li Xian appeared, most of the Luo family's senior members had already fled.

Clearly, they were aware of his battle with the Burning Passion Divine Child and others. Fearing that he would hold them accountable for colluding with the Demonic Sect, they abandoned their families and fled.

Seeing this, Li Xian chose a second-realm cultivator whose internal magical power was not too mixed.

He directly channeled a burst of magical power into a crystal specifically designed to hold magical power and handed it to him.

“I am Li Xian, a true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect. Take this crystal and go to White Stone Harbor as quickly as possible. Find the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s headquarters and summon the elders to see me. If you do so, I may show leniency to your family.”

"Yes, Master Li, please rest assured, even if it costs me my life, I will deliver the information as quickly as possible."

The cultivator at the Magic Power Realm responded with a mixture of surprise and delight.

After receiving the crystal, he headed straight for White Stone Harbor without stopping for a moment.

"In this world, there are no satellites, and no global communication... It's a little better within the sect where there is the Haotian Mirror Spirit, but outside the sect... apart from the strongholds where you can use arrays to communicate, transportation really relies entirely on flying, and communication relies entirely on person-to-person transmission... How come no one has developed any kind of seamless communication spell?"

Li Xian thought to himself.

Shaking his head, he quickly turned back and returned to the depths of the mine, continuing to refine the earthly evil energy using the Great Devouring Technique.

Several days later, an elder from the Fourth Realm of White Stone Harbor arrived at Rakshasa Island with his men.

When he learned from Li Xian that there was a high-quality refining site for evil spirits here, he took it very seriously and quickly reported the news.

Another ten days or so passed, and a flying boat arrived at Rakshasa Island. Led by Qin Yi, a fifth-realm elder, a group of professionals quickly began to examine this place of refining evil spirits.

Not long after, Qin Yi found Li Xian, who was cultivating at the core of the evil energy.

"Li Zhenchuan is truly a man of few words, yet his words are astonishing! Even the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect's Divine Son, Fen Qing, is no match for Li Zhenchuan. It is truly astonishing!"

He cupped his hands in a smile and said so.

"Excellent."

"Look, this is your reward for killing the Black Dragon Taoist. According to your needs, it has been converted into a portion of White Emperor Essence Gold Qi."

As Qin Yi spoke, he handed over a crystal.

Within the crystal, a wisp of extremely sharp golden energy continuously circulated.

Li Xian knew in his heart that the reward for a Black Dragon True Person was actually not worth a wisp of White Emperor Essence Gold Qi. This should be considered a test to lure the enemy into a trap.

I just don't know if the Burning Passion Divine Child who appeared later was part of the assessment.

If so, does his eventual defeat of the Burning Passion God count as completing the test and earning the title of "Peerless Master"?

"Thanks."

Li Xian thought for a moment, then took the crystal.

"You're too kind, Master Li. Besides, I'd like to congratulate you, Master Li..."

Qin Yi took out a set of detection data: "The quality of the evil energy nurtured in this place of refining evil energy is very high, and the output is also astonishing. It is conservatively estimated to be in the range of 1.2 to 1.6 billion cubic meters. Based on this, this will be a treasure worth 300 to 400 million yuan."

"Three to four hundred million."

Li was also somewhat surprised by this number.

"As the discoverer of this treasure land for refining evil energy, Li Zhenchuan theoretically has the right to control it. However, the extraction of evil energy is always time-consuming and laborious. Li Zhenchuan specifically informed us of this matter, which means he intends to use the power of the sect. After I reported to the sect, the sect gave three solutions."

"You said."

"The first option is for the sect to buy out this treasure land for refining evil energy with 200 million merit points. The sect will be responsible for all trivial matters such as mining in the future. The second option is for the sect to invest manpower and resources in Rakshasa Island in the next ten years to assist in the collection and use of evil energy. Fifty percent of the final profits will belong to Li Zhenchuan."

As Qin Yi spoke, seeing that Li Xian had not yet expressed his opinion, he continued, "As for the third option... the sect will customize a fifth-realm magic weapon for you."

"Custom-made Five Realms Magic Treasures?"

Li Xian raised his head slightly.

The price of Five Realms Magic Treasures generally ranges from two to five hundred million.

However, the price of customized magic items is basically calculated at the maximum limit.

This is a huge concession from the sect.

Qin Yi, standing to the side, explained: "Rakshasa Island was originally occupied by two fifth-realm demon cultivators, as well as the so-called once-in-ten-thousand-years Burning Passion Divine Child of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect. Fortunately, Li Zhenchuan took action, not only killing the two demon cultivators, but also causing the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect's divine child to flee in panic, thus enhancing the prestige of our Great Luo Immortal Sect."

As he said this, his tone was filled with heartfelt admiration: "It must be because of this factor that the sect decided to create a fifth-realm magic weapon for Li Zhenchuan."

The bounty offered by the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect's divine son, Burning Passion, is a fifth-realm magic treasure.

Although Li Xian failed to kill the divine child, he did defeat him. Furthermore, he destroyed the foundation that Fen Qing was using to forge the Taiyin True Essence in this place of refining evil...

Qin Yi was not surprised that the sect offered such conditions.

He was not jealous at all.

"Alright, let's go with the third option."

Li nodded.

He was just in need of a fifth-level sword intent magic weapon to elevate his sword intent to the minor completion stage, and this fifth-level magic weapon arrived at the perfect time.

At that moment, Li Xian stated his requirements for the Five Realms Magic Treasures.

Finally, he added, "Have any flying boats passed by recently, returning to the sect?"

"A transport ship from Baishi Port will return in six days. If Li Zhenchuan needs it, I can have someone send a message to the elder in charge of Baishi Port, and then have the ship detour to Rakshasa Island."

Qin Yi said.

"it is good."

Li Xian nodded: "Then I will spend a few more days cultivating in the mine."

"no problem."

Qin Yi readily agreed.

During his nearly month-long cultivation, he not only absorbed a large amount of malevolent energy, but also refined several magical treasures containing demonic energy at the third or fourth level.

With the help of various parties, his progress in transforming into the true form of Fuli has been advanced to 70%.

Because too much evil energy had been refined within his body, the remaining 20% ​​had to be compensated with the gold of immortal weapons.

And this essence of the White Emperor's Gold arrived at just the right time.

Once he has completely refined this White Emperor Essence Gold Qi, he will be able to cultivate the Floating Dawn True Body to the fourth level.

Once Fu Li's True Body reaches the fourth level, and he further refines the Sun True Gold, pushing his Sun-Chasing Sword Qi from the second level to the fourth, his combat power will inevitably experience another significant increase. ...

Six days later, the transport ship from Baishi Port arrived. Li Xian finished his cultivation, transformed into a sword light, soared into the sky, and landed directly on the ship.

"The Biography of Li Zhen."

As soon as he landed on the celestial ship, an escort elder immediately came up to him with a big smile and said, "With Master Li Zhen traveling with you, this journey will be worry-free. We have already arranged accommodations for you. Please follow us."

Li nodded.

The fact that the spaceship deviated from its original route and took a detour surprised the passengers.

However, once they identified the person who had boarded the flying boat halfway through the journey, they quickly began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"He's actually a true disciple of Master Li! It's perfectly normal to go out of our way for this disciple!"

"This is Rakshasa Island? We heard about demonic cultivators on Rakshasa Island half a year ago, but it was too far away, so we didn't pay attention. We didn't expect that there were not only demonic cultivators there, but also powerful cultivators at the fifth realm, and even the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect's divine son-level genius, Fen Qing, was hidden there! Fortunately, Li Zhenchuan stumbled upon these demonic cultivators and caused some of them to die and others to escape. Otherwise, who knows what kind of bloody storm they would have stirred up in the White Stone Port area!"

"To roam freely through the heavens and the four seas, to slay demons and subdue monsters—this is the way of a true hero!"

The people on the sky boat watched Li Xian's departing figure, their hearts filled with longing.

Sect elders who have cultivated the Immortal Golden Core hold high positions of power and enjoy considerable wealth. They generally own their own private flying boats, which, while not reaching the level of warships or celestial vessels, are sufficient for daily use, and they rarely ride on the sect's transport celestial vessels.

Therefore, the fifth or sixth level of Lesser True Persons is basically the upper limit of the cultivators that can be encountered on the Sky Ship.

Although Li Xian was not yet at the fifth realm, his battle record was brilliant, unmatched by ordinary fifth realm cultivators. In addition, he himself was a legend, so he became the center of everyone's discussion as soon as he boarded the ship.

Li Xian himself didn't care much about these things.

For a long time afterward, he focused on regulating the celestial weapon metal and demonic energy within his body.

And so, a month later...

In the final moments before the White Emperor's essence was exhausted, his Fuli magic power underwent another transformation, becoming more refined and as if it possessed a trace of "true essence" characteristics.

"The fourth level of the Floating Dawn True Body has been reached!"

Li Xian reached out his hand, and a dark golden light flowed from his palm.

He flicked his other finger...

"clang!"

A resounding, booming sound came from the magical power.

It seemed that this was not a divine power that could be gathered and dispersed at will, but a divine armor made of some kind of dark gold material.

"I ultimately failed to cultivate the Taiyin True Essence. Under these circumstances, the mana consumption for making the Floating Dawn True Body possess condensation characteristics similar to 'True Essence' is twice as high..."

While doubling the mana consumption wouldn't be enough to deplete his mana in a life-or-death battle, his endurance would undoubtedly be much worse than that of a fifth-realm cultivator.

Especially after he cultivated the Sun Chasing Sword Qi to the fourth level...

"When one's magical skill level is higher than their cultivation level, it is easy to encounter situations where one's magical power is excessively depleted."

Li Xian let out a slight breath.

After a moment, he seemed to sense something, and suddenly a thought struck him.

"Is the spirit... about to be fulfilled?"

At that moment, he focused his mind on the Shangyuan Grotto.

Unlike its previous state, which was forcibly activated entirely by sword intent, the Shangyuan Cave Heaven is now much more stable thanks to the continuous nourishment of essence and mana. Within it, it seems as if some kind of power is projecting out, merging with essence, energy, and spirit to form a kind of…

A force field-like existence.

This is the inner view of a cultivator!

In ancient times, Shangyuan Grotto Heaven was also known as Inner Landscape or Purple Palace.

At this stage, the cultivator's physical state is restored to perfection. Next, they must use this perfect microcosm to sense the external universe and capture the power of the moon and the sun, drawing down these two stellar powers.

First, use the Taiyin star to temper the magic power, so that the magic power is transformed into true essence.

Then gather the power of the sun and stars to ignite the true fire.

"This is the true meaning of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top."

Li Xian sensed his physical condition.

Although there was no change in physical strength, I definitely had a different feeling.

"The body is the foundation of everything. Magic power, spirit, or spiritual awareness and sword intent derived from the spirit, all rely on oneself as the basis. Currently, the strength of my body is quite weak compared to spells such as the Sun Chasing Sword Qi and the Floating Dawn True Body. However... when my body enters the Chaotic Heavenly Demon Body state, both the power of spells and sword intent will be significantly amplified."

He had an epiphany.

To put it simply, physical attributes are the basic attributes, while spells and sword intent are attribute amplifiers. The difference between 100 and 200 is only 100, but when both are multiplied by 10, the difference will be magnified to 1,000.

"The reason why I was able to fight Yan Cailian, who was at the fourth level, to a draw when I first comprehended the sword intent was largely due to the contributions of the Chaos Heavenly Demon."

With this realization, Li Xian began to turn his attention to the secret database within the identity token.

"The immortality attribute points to the Great Dao of Life... Hmm? This Great Dao wasn't even recorded by the Great Luo Immortal Sect?"

He searched for a while but couldn't find this original divine power.

Fortunately, as he continued his search for the properties of infinity and chaos...

"Great Chaos Technique! Great Limitless Technique!"

He searched for the cultivation methods of these two fundamental supernatural powers.

Either...

By exploring one's own unique physique, and when the physique reaches its peak, if one's comprehension is sufficient, one will naturally be able to sense the Great Dao of Chaos or the Great Dao of Limitlessness.

Either...

Like the Egg of the Nether Kun, they set their sights on exotic beasts and demons with divine beast bloodlines.

"Chaos, one of the eight great ferocious beasts, is the best projection of the Great Dao of Chaos..."

Li Xian examined the bloodline left behind by this ferocious beast, thinking that if he discovered anything in the future, he could take action to capture it.

Compared to the more support-oriented Great Devouring Technique, the Great Chaos Technique has significant power in combat.

Any spell cast by the opponent can be confused and neutralized by the Great Chaos Spell.

Even if it cannot be completely destroyed, it can still disrupt its normal structure, reducing its power to less than one-tenth.

As for the Great Limitless Technique...

It is said that the Great Dao is supreme and has three poles.

These are Hunyuan, Wuji, and Daluo.

If one obtains either extreme, one can roam freely in the world, immortal and eternal.

The Great Limitless Technique is one of these limits.

Sects like the Great Luo Immortal Sect and the Limitless Star Palace are actually future visions of the ultimate Dao.

Time passed quickly as Li Xian focused on recuperating his energy and spirit.

A month after the celestial boat sailed smoothly once again, the majestic and magnificent mountain gate of the Great Luo Immortal Sect came into view.

Just like last time, Li Xian walked out of the training room and came to the deck.

Along the way, everyone he met greeted him respectfully.

Elders, deacons, disciples, and even guests visiting the Great Luo Immortal Sect are all treated the same.

This is similar to the scene when I first arrived at the Immortal Sect...

They are now worlds apart.

Four years!

He has grown from an unknown nobody in the True Qi Realm to a true disciple of the Immortal Sect who has achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

This speed...

"It's still too slow."

Li Xian thought to himself, "In my previous life, I became invincible in just three years."

However, considering that this world was many times more vast than the previous one, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something.

A figure formed entirely of flowing light appeared beside Li Xian.

Mysterious Spirit!

"wrong!"

Having developed spiritual awareness, Li Xian had already discerned something at this moment.

The light emanating from Xuanling was not flowing light, but rather spiritual energy fluctuations.

It communicated its location to Li Xian's senses through spiritual vibrations, thus giving him the feeling that he could "see" it.

In reality, to other people, there was nothing there at all.

"Your Excellency Xuanling."

Li Xian slightly activated his spiritual senses to transmit information.

"The Biography of Li Zhen."

Xuanling greeted him with a smile: "Your True Inheritance Peak has been completed. The True Gold of the Sun and the custom-made Five Realms Magic Treasure that you wish to exchange for have also been delivered to your True Inheritance Peak. Now, please allow me to guide you and explain to you the True Inheritance Disciple and the various privileges you currently possess."

"True disciple?"

Li Xian's heart stirred: "True disciples probably can't enjoy the treatment of being personally guided and explained by Pavilion Master Xuanling."

As he spoke, he had already bid farewell to the elder guarding the Heavenly Boat, mounted his sword, and followed Xuanling's figure: "So... the Black Dragon True Man, the fifth-realm elder of the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect, and the Burning Passion Divine Child were really part of the assessment?"

"Li Zhenchuan's guess is basically correct."

Xuanling smiled and replied, "Black Dragon Daoist, Elder Night Demon and the six others are one of your tasks. As for the Burning Passion Divine Child, he was an accident. Theoretically, even if you defeat or kill him, you still won't reach the new rating. What truly makes you gain the sect leader's approval is another key factor."

"Ok?"

Li was somewhat surprised.

Even if he kills the Burning Passion God, his evaluation still won't improve?
that……

"What's the key?"

"The supernatural power you have cultivated."

Xuanling looked at him: "Great Devouring Technique."

Primal Divine Power: Great Devouring Technique!

Li was taken aback, but then he suddenly realized.

The Great Luo Immortal Sect places great importance on the true battle records of its disciples.

It seems that no matter how eloquently a genius speaks, unless they demonstrate substantial achievements, they still have to stay in their original position.

but……

The Great Devouring Technique is a fundamental divine power!
With this supernatural ability, Li Xian refined various cultivation materials at a speed more than ten or a hundred times faster! His efficiency was improved by far more than just a tiny bit!

When a supernatural power reaches a level that can directly point to the Great Dao of Devouring, it is enough to make the evaluation rules of the Great Luo Immortal Sect give way.

"Therefore, according to the sect's genius evaluation mechanism, the joint decision of no less than three Supreme Elders, and the personal approval of Sect Master Lu Linyuan... Congratulations, Li Xian, the true disciple of Li Xian, 'Brilliant Sun' is no longer enough to describe your glorious achievements. At this moment, your extraordinary talent is worthy of being 'Peerless'!"
