Invincible!

Chapter 185 Old Friend
"Void Dao Body!?"

When Li Xian used a Void Sword Escape technique that was almost like teleporting through the void, the spiritual fluctuations of the Spirit Ruins, who were waiting to see the joke, all froze.

There was no response for a long time.

Senseless.

It wasn't until Li Xian used the Void Sword Escape technique a second time, and the process was even more perfect, that the powerful and almost uncontrollable spiritual fluctuations dissipated from its body like a storm.

"Void Dao Body!? This is a Void Dao Body!? You... how do you possess a Void Dao Body!?"

"Where did you get this Void Dao Body?! If you have a Dao Body, there will be some unusual phenomena when you are building your Dao Foundation. But now, you have already built your Dao Foundation and your foundation is solid. How come a Void Dao Body has suddenly appeared?"

"This is impossible! What's going on?! What kind of supernatural power or secret technique is this?!"

"I don't know! Why can't I understand any of it!"

A chaotic stream of spiritual fluctuations, so chaotic they couldn't even form complete words or convey any content, was constantly emanating from Lingxu.

It seems that it has been holding back for more than half a month and is about to release all its pent-up emotions at once.

A single spiritual being's ability to mutter incessantly is equivalent to that of a dozen ducks.

For a moment, even though Li Xian didn't want to pay any attention to it, he couldn't stand the noise and had to reply, "Shut up!"

"Then tell me, tell me what's going on, what exactly happened, and what new technology is it? Has the world changed? But I've been secretly observing for a while and there haven't been any major changes..."

Another wave of spiritual fluctuations, full of emotions, surged in.

"Before you shattered, you must have been a divine weapon or immortal artifact, with a noble status and extensive knowledge. Now you keep talking about 'ah ah ah,' where has your immortal artifact demeanor gone?"

Li Xiandao.

The celestial artifact's imposing presence finally calmed Lingxu down a bit.

Yes, it has a noble status and is very knowledgeable.

It still has to save face.

However, it still couldn't help but ask, "Then tell me, how did you do it?"

“I remember there was a saying in ancient times that the human race has a natural Dao body and is born with three thousand Great Daos, which is why they can become the darlings of heaven and earth and the protagonists of the world. According to this logic, as long as we excavate properly, it is not impossible to excavate not only the void Dao body, but also all three thousand Great Daos. Why make a fuss?”

Li Xiandao.

"A natural body imbued with the Dao, containing the three thousand Great Daos from birth... Isn't this just you humans patting yourselves on the back? Just like the demon race calling themselves masters of heaven and earth, and the gods claiming to act on behalf of heaven and uphold the Dao, each one boasting more and more than the last..."

As Lingxu spoke, his voice involuntarily lowered a little.

Actually...

It had already sensed that something was wrong with Li Xian.

Li Xian not only possesses the Devouring Dao Body, but also the Limitless Dao Body, the Chaos Dao Body, and the Undying Dao Body.

It originally thought that with the development of the times, the technology of Dao Body had been effectively improved, and the technology of Dao Body Fusion had been developed.

However, as it entered and exited the Great Luo Immortal Sect several times and came into contact with more and more stories and people, it gradually discovered that the technology had not changed.

No matter how much we develop, it's impossible for humans to grow three heads and six arms.

The real problem lies with people.

Li Xian is a person.

Now, following the four Dao Body characteristics, he has actually developed a Void Dao Body...

"You...you won't have other Dao bodies in the future, will you?"

Lingxu seemed to ask the question with a hint of caution.

After all, its pride in its extensive knowledge seemed somewhat insufficient for Li Xian.

"It depends on whether it's necessary. After all, activating the Dao Body doesn't mean much. We still need to explore it further and let it grow. The key to victory is quality, not quantity. I don't have that much time to explore all the Dao Bodies to perfection."

Li answered truthfully.

However, this honest statement caused the spiritual fluctuations of the Spirit Ruins to become chaotic once again.

For real! ?

It can really activate other Dao bodies!?

and so……

Is the legend true?!

"You... really have a naturally born Dao body?"

"Who knows."

Li Xian did not deny it.

Lingxu fell silent for a moment.

A natural-born Daoist body!

The heavens contain the three thousand great Daos!

What kind of heaven-defying existence is this?!
In its memory, there were quite a few geniuses of all kinds.

But what kind of genius, what kind of talent, could compare to this kind of Dao physique!?
The world...

How could such a Dao body be allowed to exist?!

This……

"This is seriously disrupting the balance..."

It couldn't help but mutter to itself.

"what?"

Li was puzzled.

"No...nothing..."

Lingxu felt somewhat guilty.

It compared Li Xian to those outstanding individuals in its memory...

Before he knew it, Li Xian was about to stand out from the crowd.

After a long while, it said again, "I'm starting to believe you. If you don't die halfway, you might have a chance to catch up with my master's achievements."

"Oh? Who is your master?"

Li asked first.

"My master..."

Lingxu's memory is completely blank.

All he knew was that she was exceptionally beautiful, unprecedented, and possessed extraordinary talent that amazed the world and shone brightly in the heavens.

But who exactly is she, and what is her past...?

But I can't remember any of them.

"I...I...I'm so badly damaged, I can't remember a lot of things..."

"I'll fix it for you when I have time."

Li Xiandao said, "Besides, what are the characteristics of your other fragments? You can't really rely on your own senses when you're nearby, can you?"

"feature?"

Lingxu was somewhat bewildered.

It has even forgotten what it originally looked like.

Only by getting thousands of miles away from one's own body can one perceive the existence of the remaining parts.

but……

"Since I am a celestial artifact, I should be... very sturdy, right?"

“Sturdy…”

What kind of characteristic is that?

Li Xian shook his head: "Forget it, once I make some money, I'll help you buy some supplies to repair you. I'll send you a list of supplies that can be exchanged at the Great Luo Immortal Sect. Take a look and see what you need."

"Actually, the real gold you redeemed not long ago was quite good..."

"Too expensive."

Li Xian agreed to help Lingxu find its body parts, but this was just a minor repair...

It must not affect his spiritual practice.

"If you can get me a portion of Sun Gold and a portion of Moon Crystal, along with the materials on this list I gave you, I am confident that I can recover to the sixth realm."

Lingxu said, "However... to go further up, we must find other components."

Li glanced at it first.

Of these materials, solar gold and lunar crystal make up the majority, and even when all are added together, they exceed 600 million.

The price of a Six Realms Magic Treasure ranges from ten to twenty billion.

He can buy it at half price, which means that 500 million can buy a most ordinary sixth-realm magic weapon.

but……

He didn't have high demands for magical artifacts.

"Wait a minute."

Li Xian said, "Once I have cultivated my true essence, I will go to Xuanming Island, slay those three-headed seventh-realm demon dragons, and then I will exchange materials for you to advance to the next realm."

"Okay, I'll give you a gift too..."

Lingxu agreed, but after a moment, he became somewhat uncertain: "I just don't know if it's still there after all this time."

Li Xian didn't think about the so-called gift.

He helped Lingxu simply because he felt it was within his power and wanted to help.

There was no intention to take advantage of the favor.

Next, he traveled to the White Rock Rift Valley while adapting to the amplification of Void Sword Escape by the Void Dao Body.

With the Dao Body, the Void Sword Escape not only has a faster activation time and a longer range, but also consumes less energy.

Originally, it could only be used ten times in one go, covering a distance of only three to five hundred miles, but now...

It can travel more than thirty times in one go, covering a distance of more than three thousand miles.

"Once the Void Dao Body is formed, one can cultivate the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi, which is the number one killing sword technique of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, equivalent to the face of the Great Luo Immortal Sect."

Li Xian's thoughts were racing, but he had no intention of practicing this supreme and wonderful method for the time being.

Just as he said to Lingxu, the key to victory lies in quality, not quantity.

The current spells are sufficient; there's no need to learn a supreme spell.

As he pondered, a landscape with numerous cracks came into Li Xian's view.

In some of the cracks, you can clearly see the magma flowing inside, like the blood of the earth.

We've arrived at Baiyan Grand Canyon.

Although this place is called "White Rock," it is actually a kind of expectation and longing. In fact, due to the magma surrounding many of the cracks, the rock walls appear dark and charred.

Around many of the large cracks, traces of villages, towns, and even cities can be seen.

The White Rock Rift Valley leads directly to the underground purgatory world, where valuable treasures occasionally emerge, and even some magma contains special malevolent energy and minerals.

Many families of cultivators live along the edge of the rift, collecting the evil energy and minerals to practice magic and exchange for resources.

Of course, the occasional collapse of the earth and eruption of lava could also engulf the surrounding families in one fell swoop.

Because of the considerable danger, the Great Luo Immortal Sect did not completely occupy the entire White Rock Rift Valley. Instead, it chose several less dangerous rifts with higher yields to establish workshops and serve as fiefdoms for its core and true disciples.

Li Xian rode his escape light, flying all the way until a rift dozens of miles long and bottomless appeared before him.

A series of man-made staircases extend underground along both sides of the crack.

You can also see countless ordinary people with martial arts skills carrying minerals out of the fire cave through the stairs.

Occasionally, one or two Dao Foundation cultivators riding flying birds would come up and down, patrolling the surrounding area.

"Liyang Fire Point".

Li Xian said something.

This is An Jing's fiefdom.

Seemingly noticing the insignia of a true disciple on Li Xian's clothes, a woman at the Magic Power Realm immediately approached on a flying sword as he observed. Upon recognizing Li Xian, she quickly bowed respectfully: "An Rou, the resident elder, greets True Disciple Li."

"An? You're from the An family? Is An Jing here?"

Li asked first.

“I am indeed a member of the An family, and I am four generations above An Jing in terms of seniority.”

As An Rou spoke, she immediately added, "An Jing is currently at the Huang family, sparring with Huang Yiyi, the Huang family's most beloved daughter, in preparation for challenging Wu Chengzhou, the Wu family's prodigy, in half a month."

"The Huang family? The Wu family?"

Mr. Li listened, somewhat confused.

An Rou quickly explained, "The Baiyan Grand Canyon and the surrounding Bihai Rainforest, Aurora Gobi and other places are collectively known as Lingxi. In the Lingxi area, there are three sects and sixteen clans, which basically occupy all the fertile lands except for the Immortal Sect's fiefdom."

She quickly said, "Among the sixteen clans of this generation, the Wu clan has produced a prodigy. In just two Jiazi years, he has already achieved the Five Qi in harmony and his spirit is perfect. He is the disciple of the number one true master in Lingxi. Therefore, his temperament is... somewhat eccentric. Not long ago, because of some trivial matters, the two of them had a falling out and made a date a year later... Now there is still a month left. They agreed to settle their differences at that time."

"Five Elements Converging at the Origin? A Chosen One of Heaven?"

Li Xian recognized both words, but when put together, they seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.

When did it become acceptable to be called a chosen one of heaven after two cycles of sixty years to reach the Five Elements Convergence?
Are geniuses really that worthless?
"And who is the foremost master of Lingxi?"

"The foremost true man of Lingxi... is the Patriarch of Moyun Mountain, who calls himself the True Man of Moyun."

As An Rou spoke, a deep sense of awe flashed in her eyes: "That was a powerful being who had condensed an immortal golden core and was immortal throughout the ages. Although he did not gather a clan or establish a sect, his noble status far surpassed that of the three sects and sixteen clans."

"Golden Core..."

Li rubbed his temples.

A person at the seventh level of the Golden Core realm would certainly be considered a great figure anywhere.

Claimed to be the best in Lingxi...

That's not a problem.

However, An Jingren is not in the fiefdom... "Could you point me to the location of the Huang family?"

Li Xiandao.

“Since Li Zhenchuan has come to find Jing’er, I will take Li Zhenchuan there now.”

An Rou quickly replied.

"Row."

Li Xian did not refuse.

It's good to have someone give directions, so you won't get lost.

An Rou briefly explained the trivial matters of the Li Yang Fire Cave, and then followed Li Xian into the air, heading towards the Azure Sea Rainforest.

However, after flying less than a hundred miles, Li Xian began to regret bringing her along.

It flies too slowly.

After a moment's thought, Li Xian said, "Give me directions, and I'll take you there."

"Yes."

An Rou responded apologetically.

As Li Xian unleashed his magical power, taking the woman with him, his sword energy exploded daily. Even without the amplification of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and the Endless Radiant Sun, his speed still increased several times compared to An Roulai.

The feeling of speed was so intense that it made An Rou, who also came from a family of cultivators, open her eyes wide.

Before long, the two had traveled two thousand miles, left the White Rock Great Rift Valley, and arrived at a place with dense trees.

Faintly visible are cities and villages, dotted among the lush greenery.

"Li Zhenchuan, the Huang family is just ahead."

Looking at these villages and towns, An Rou quickly introduced, "The Huang family ranks among the top of the sixteen clans in Lingxi, with three Taiyin True Yuan Realm ancestors and hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators. They govern more than three thousand miles to the west of the Azure Sea Rainforest, and tens of millions of people depend on them for survival..."

As she spoke, her tone was filled with deep envy.

The An family is also a prominent family of cultivators.

However, the strongest member of the clan was only at the fourth level of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, which was a level weaker than the Huang family.

Fortunately, among this generation of young people, a prodigy like An Jing has emerged. Not only has he forged an unparalleled foundation in Dao, with the prospect of achieving a Golden Core, but he has also become a disciple of the Shadow Sword Immortal, promising a bright future.

Under his leadership, the An family will surely achieve a leap in social class and become a dominant force at the Golden Core stage.

A powerful clan established by a fifth-realm True Essence expert naturally has cultivators patrolling the area. Not long after they ventured in, a third-realm cultivator led a team to greet them.

However, when An Rou informed him that a true master from the Immortal Sect was visiting, this high-level cultivator of the Third Realm immediately reported the visit while leading the way.

Soon, the group flew over an open city with numerous pavilions and palaces, and landed directly on a nine-story tower in the city center.

As An Rou and Li Xian landed, a cultivator at the fourth realm stepped forward and respectfully greeted them: "Huang Ruihai, the patriarch of the Huang family, respectfully welcomes the arrival of this high-ranking cultivator from the upper sect!"

"Li Zhenchuan came looking for my Jing'er, where is he now?"

An Rou asked.

"An Tianjiao is in the Sword Control Forest, practicing sword fighting techniques with my daughter."

Huang Ruihai said.

An Rou looked at Li Xian.

"Go and see."

Li Xian said something.

Immediately, Huang Ruihai led his group to the Imperial Sword Forest.

Imperial Sword Forest...

It is actually a place for cultivation. Because of the tall trees and dense forests, and the miasma that confuses the view, the complex terrain is perfect for cultivators in the second or third realm to practice sword control.

When Li Xian arrived at the grove, he saw two figures moving swiftly, one after the other.

In the foreground is a woman in a flowing long dress, her figure graceful as she moves through the woods like the wind.

rear……

That was An Jing, a master of both fist and sword.

Like the Shadow Sword Immortal, he cultivated the supreme technique, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi.

And at this moment, he has already mastered this supreme technique, and...

Li Xian also sensed the four elements of metal, wood, water, and earth on him. Clearly, once he refined the most dangerous elemental energy of fire, he would be able to achieve the Five Elements Convergence and officially enter the third realm.

This is the benefit of becoming an apprentice.

As long as your performance isn't too bad, your master will generally help you arrange the five elements of vital energy.

Although he had not yet achieved the Five Qi Convergence, An Jing's sword control speed was quite astonishing, thanks to the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi. Compared to the woman in the long dress, Huang Yiyi, he was clearly a cut faster.

However, he was clearly not yet proficient in mastering this sword energy, and his movements were sluggish. In addition, he was not used to the complex terrain of the Sword Control Forest, so he would occasionally crash into a tree, which slowed him down and made it difficult for him to catch up with Huang Yiyi.

"I'll go call Jing'er..."

An judo.

"It doesn't matter."

Li waved his hand.

He carefully examined the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi that An Jing was cultivating...

An Jing possesses the Wind and Thunder Body, a lower-level Dao Body belonging to the Void Dao Body.

Therefore, special physical constitutions do not significantly amplify the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi.

However, he had clearly forged a Dao foundation similar to the void or the boundless, which allowed him to still master this sword energy.

Relying on his magical advantage, An Jing used a metal element spell to tear apart the air currents in front of him, which greatly increased his speed, and he finally caught up with Huang Yiyi.

The two forces clashed, causing Huang Yiyi's blood and qi to surge, and she was eventually stopped.

After a moment, she calmed herself down and spoke in a clear voice with a hint of admiration: "Senior Brother An Jing's swordsmanship is superb and his abilities are extraordinary. I am ashamed to admit that I am inferior to him. Although Wu Chengzhou's foundation is slightly better than mine, it is not much stronger. With Senior Brother An Jing's swordsmanship, I will definitely be able to defeat him in the duel next month."

"you flatter me."

An Jing calmly replied, "This level of swordsmanship is nothing special."

He appeared neither arrogant nor impatient.

"Senior brother has not yet achieved the Five Qi Gathering, and his internal magic power has not yet been continuously generated, yet he can still display such brilliance. Given time, once he achieves the Five Qi Gathering, he will surely be able to reach the True Disciple Ranking with his third-level cultivation and secure a seat as a True Disciple of the Immortal Sect."

Huang Yiyi said.

"A seat of true successor..."

An Jing muttered these four words to himself.

Among the five innate energies, the fire element is the most violent and dangerous. He needs to recuperate for six months to a year before he can try to integrate it.

Next, it will take another two or three years to cultivate the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi to the second level before there is any hope of challenging for a true disciple position.

To ensure absolute success...

Ideally, it should take three to five years to develop and form its own unique combat system.

In other words, even if everything goes smoothly, it will take him another five or six years to become a true disciple, and according to information from the sect, Li Xian, whom he considers his rival…

"Um!?"

At this moment, An Jing seemed to have noticed something, and his gaze suddenly shifted.

"Li Xian!?"

He suddenly saw that unfamiliar yet familiar figure outside the Imperial Sword Forest.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"Junior Brother An, it's been three years. How have you been?"

At this moment, Li Xian stepped forward and greeted them.

"you……"

An Jing's expression was somewhat strange: "Why are you here?"

I came here specifically to see you.

Li Xian paused as he spoke, then added, "I also want to thank you for the gift you gave me when I was promoted to a true disciple."

An Jing's unusual expression immediately turned awkward: "This..."

"You haven't even reached the Five Qi Gathering stage yet? I remember you established your Dao Foundation two years before me! You're a bit slow, Junior Brother!"

Li Xian emphasized the last two words.

"Only the Fire Elemental Qi is missing! Half a year! No! Three months! In three months, I will be able to refine the Fire Elemental Qi and achieve the Five Elements Convergence. I believe in my willpower and resilience! Once the Five Elements Convergence is achieved, and after a period of settling, I am confident that I can activate the Upper Yuan Grotto-Heaven, condense my spiritual consciousness, and achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!"

Anjing applied force.

"A period of settling down? How long? Three years? Five years? Or eight or ten years?"

Li Xian asked with a smile.

"three……"

An Jing really wanted to pin the three-year timeframe on Li Xian.

but……

Regardless of whether he can do it or not, even if he does, it would only be enough to catch up with Li Xian.

“Senior Brother An, this senior brother of the true lineage has come to visit you, which shows that you have a close relationship. Why don’t you invite him back for a visit? I will have someone prepare a banquet to welcome him back.”

Seeing An Jing's embarrassment, Huang Yiyi spoke up.

"also."

An Jing responded.

Then, he glanced at Li Xian and suddenly laughed.

"Congratulations on activating the Shangyuan Cave Heaven, achieving the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and it is said that you have also mastered sword intent."

Li Xian glanced at him.

I never expected him to have adjusted his mindset so quickly.

That makes sense, considering he's been a true disciple for so long. An Jing had already received the news and was mentally prepared for all of this.

He smiled and replied, "Thanks. Perhaps you could try condensing your sword intent."

"I tried it."

An Jing said, "It might be possible, but it will definitely take a lot of time and affect normal cultivation. It would be putting the cart before the horse. It's better to wait until your essence, energy, and spirit are nearly perfect, or until you have developed spiritual awareness, before trying again."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian recalled the perilous and arduous process he had endured in comprehending the essence of swordsmanship…

He nodded in agreement.

Before one's spiritual awareness is fully developed, it is indeed not advisable to spend a lot of time honing one's sword intent.

"Speaking of which, your achievements are truly surprising. I had anticipated that this day would come when you caught up with my more than ten years of wasted time in just a few years, but I did not expect it to come so soon."

An Jing glanced at Li Xian: "I wonder if I would have had a different experience if I had insisted on going to the Fallen Star Sea back then."

Li Xian knew what he was talking about.

He was the first to master the true teachings and then surpassed others.

but……

"Everyone has their own path."

Li Xian neither confirmed nor denied it.

An Jing nodded: "Perhaps, when I chose to accept my master's arrangement to come to Baiyan Great Rift Valley back then, I had already lost this competition...."

"I believe that you too can achieve your own glory in Baiyan Grand Canyon."

Li paused, then said, "Now, haven't you found a new opponent?"

"You mean Wu Chengzhou..."

An Jing pondered for a moment and said, "He is indeed a hidden gem. If he went to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, he should be able to achieve something great. But here... his foundation is ultimately lacking. His superior Dao foundation... can only give him a temporary advantage. If we extend the timeline to ten years later, he will completely lose the qualification to be my opponent."

He was still quite confident in this regard.

Li Xian was not surprised by this.

"However, I imagine you're not very interested in this kind of competition. A duel at the Five Qi Gathering Realm can no longer capture your attention."

An Jing said.

Mr. Li does not deny this.

There's really nothing to see here.

Even if one of the contestants is An Jing.

While chatting, the two returned to the Huang family home.

At this moment, an elder of the Huang family was exchanging words with an arrogant middle-aged man.

Upon seeing An Jing arrive, the middle-aged man's gaze fell directly on him: "Alright, now that you're here, there's no need to convey the young master's message. An Jing, the competition between you and the young master in a month is canceled. Just admit defeat."

"Ok?"

An Jing was somewhat surprised.

She recognized him: "You are Uru, the protector of Uru's boat?"

"it's me."

The middle-aged man, Uru, said calmly, "Our young master's flying boat is about to head to Mount Moyun. I came down here specifically to announce this, to make you admit defeat and to save face for you, a core disciple of the upper sect!"

"Ha... Leave me some face? You want me to just admit defeat?"

An Jing smiled expressionlessly.

"good."

Uru said calmly, "Don't be unconvinced. I can tell you the reason directly... Our young master is exceptionally talented and unparalleled. He has already activated the Upper Yuan Cave Heaven and entered the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm!"

He said emphatically, "A difference of two realms is enough to make anyone despair! So, it's not shameful for you to admit defeat."
