Invincible!

Chapter 189 Goal
In the depths of the endless sea.

A colossal monster with the body of a fish and the tail of a snake, stretching for an unknown distance, was rapidly traversing the sea.

Its mere ability to navigate water has already triggered a massive tsunami.

If these tsunamis were to reach land, they could flood hundreds of thousands of miles, causing widespread devastation and countless deaths and injuries.

However, as the enormous creature approached a small island only about ten miles away, a voice rang out: "Winfish, keep it down, don't scare our guests."

The speaker was a man on the island, dressed in blue and holding a paper fan, who looked like a refined gentleman.

"Xiangliu."

A muffled, thunderous voice came from the enormous monster: "How did you become like this?"

"If we lose, we should naturally learn from our opponents and figure out exactly where we went wrong."

The "man" referred to as Xiangliu spoke calmly.

"We lost? We didn't lose. We just retreated to the ocean temporarily. My men, with the help of those demonic cultivators, have already infiltrated the Falling Star Sea in large numbers. They will soon be able to break through the war fortress from the inside and invade their territory."

The enormous monster writhed, its terrifying demonic aura soaring into the sky.

Suddenly, dark clouds loomed over the city, and a fierce wind swept through.

A mere change in emotion caused a dramatic shift in the celestial phenomena over a radius of thousands of miles.

"Alright, victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. A temporary disadvantage is nothing. The inability to recognize one's own limitations is the root of self-destruction."

As Xiang Liu spoke, his gaze turned to a streak of light rushing towards them from the horizon.

This streak of light traveled at near the speed of light, yet it caused no change to the external space.

This fully proves that this is at least a celestial being who has cultivated a divine kingdom.

"call out!"

The incredibly fast streak of light momentarily stopped above the island.

This transformation from extreme motion to extreme stillness appeared incredibly strange and distorted, yet it abruptly unfolded before Xiang Liu and Ying Yu.

This single move was enough to make the massive Winfish back its arrogance.

"Where are Xiang Liu, Ying Yu, and Yuan Tu Fo?"

This divine being seemed to have spoken, yet it also seemed not to have spoken.

But the voice was transmitted to the two demon gods in an incomprehensible way.

"My Buddha is merciful."

A Buddhist chant was heard.

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a yellow kasaya, with a sorrowful face, appeared.

"Since you're all here, it proves that both of you agree with my suggestion."

This is the way of the celestial deity.

"Infinite, do you really have a way to force Tianyuan to ascend?"

As Yuan Tu Buddha inquired, a sorrowful aura spread outwards.

"good."

The sorrowful aura emanating from Yuan Tu Buddha did not affect the boundless divine being in the slightest: "Once Tian Yuan ascends, the balance among the human immortal sects will be broken. The Nine Heavens Holy Land, which has long been unwilling to share the world equally, will surely swallow up the other eight sects. At that time, their cooperation with us will be even closer, and they may even give up more benefits."

As his tone shifted, even the void seemed to grow heavy: "The nine great immortal sects are powerful. Only when they are fighting amongst themselves will we have a chance to maneuver between them and vie for the position of master of the True Immortal World!"

Winning the fish was unwilling to accept defeat.

The demon race is no weaker than the human race.

but……

Xiang Liu understood that the reason why the Twilight Divine Court, the Silent Ancient Temple, and the Demon Clan were able to exist was because the Nine Great Immortal Sects needed enemies.

So it spoke first: "We need to see your capabilities."

The Infinite God calmly said, "Eight years from now, we will shake the gate to the Immortal Realm, and many more things will be pushed into the Immortal Domain... even some things inside the gate to the Immortal Realm..."

"Shaking the gates of the immortal realm!?"

Xiang Liu, Ying Yu, and even Yuan Tu Fo all seemed to experience a surge of divine consciousness.

That's the gate to the celestial realm!
"If you can truly shake the gates of the Immortal Realm, then we will believe that you do have the ability to force Tianyuan to ascend. At that time, our demon race will be willing to contribute our strength."

"The ancient temple in its solitude also wishes to open up the pure land of Buddhism."

Both sides agreed.

"Alright, let's combine our strengths... and then you will witness the arrival of a new era."

The Infinite God said in a deep voice, "Six hundred thousand years. This world should have a new master. It can't be like six hundred thousand years ago, when another Immortal King emerged and unified the world."

"My Buddha is merciful."

Yuan Tufo chanted the Buddha's name again.

Xiang Liu and Ying Yu also harbored expectations.

With the nine great immortal sects in chaos, aren't the strongest remaining ones the demon race? When that time comes, who else but the demon race will be the new masters of this world?
Xiang Liu even decided to have a good talk with the other demon gods in the demon race.

The reason why the demon race is no match for the human race is that they are not united enough. If they could unite as one and work together with one heart and one mind...

The power of the demon race is not much inferior to that of the human race.

……

"They agreed?"

"good."

“Very good. When the time comes... with these keys, we can successfully summon the tide of nothingness.”

"The world will eventually be purified, and only by entering the Kingdom of God can one obtain eternal life."

……

Motianling.

The power of the Moon gradually dissipated.

He calmed down in his cultivation cave for a long time.

at last……

"True Yuan."

Li Xian reached out his hand, and liquefied magic flowed continuously in his palm, crystal clear, seemingly radiating a shimmering moonlight.

This is the true essence of Taiyin.

Just as he had expected, with the Nine Revolutions Creation Pill, a seventh-tier pill that could quickly pull a person back from a state of physical collapse, the breakthrough of Taiyin True Essence was a natural progression and did not cause any ripples.

"If the true essence of Yin is like this, what about the true fire of Yang?"

Li Xian was somewhat moved.

but……

Compared to the Taiyin True Essence, which can compress magical power into true essence little by little in batches, the breakthrough process of the Taiyang True Fire is much more violent.

The requirement is to finish it in one go.

Once the true fire of the sun is drawn down, the true essence within the body will be completely ignited under the clash of yin and yang.

During this process, if one can subdue the True Fire of the Sun, one can maintain the Yin-Yang balance within the body and enter the True Fire of the Sun realm; if one cannot subdue it…

The person was burned completely, leaving nothing behind.

To some extent, the Taiyin True Essence Realm can be considered a trial stage of the Taiyang True Fire Realm.

If even the stellar power compression of the Taiyin True Essence cannot withstand it, then forget about the Taiyang True Fire.

"To draw down the true fire of the sun, one often needs to refine the essence of the sun to improve one's resistance and tolerance to the true fire of the sun, so that when the true essence of the moon is fully ignited, there will be more time to maintain the balance between the two... But this step takes time and resources to accumulate, and even if I have the Great Devouring Technique, it will take three to five years."

Fortunately, besides this method, there are other ways to break through to the next level.

For example, making the body strong enough, improving recovery ability, etc.

All the improvements and solutions are for one purpose only.

It is heat-resistant.

To make myself burn longer.

This naturally allows for more time to capture the balance of Yin and Yang.

"My ability to grasp the balance of Yin and Yang is no less than that of any genius with unparalleled comprehension, but I must ensure that my physical body is not ignited the moment the true fire of the sun is drawn down, and is burned to ashes in a very short time..."

While it would only take three to five years to enhance his "fire resistance" with the essence of the sun, which would be enough to make anyone else ecstatic, it would take him far too long.

Prepare some more Nine-Turn Creation Pills.

Let's study the balance of Yin and Yang further.

then……

Then, elevate the "Undying" Dao Body to the Lesser Completion stage.

Once the Dao body breaks through and its resilience increases, igniting the true fire of the sun will no longer be difficult.

"I previously thought that the Taiyin True Essence could activate the 'Undying' Dao Body to a minor level, but now it seems... I was too naive."

Unleashing the potential of the Undying Dao Body is not simply a matter of taking hits.

Beyond the physical immortality achieved through physical beatings, it also embodies the concept of spiritual immortality.

Just like when he absorbed the Dao Body and achieved minor success, he comprehended the profound mystery of "all things and I are one".

The process of cultivating the Taiyin True Essence brought his immortal body to the critical point of breaking through to the minor success stage. However, if he wanted to achieve the minor success stage, he would have to go through a process similar to the "enlightenment" of devouring the body.

At that moment, Li glanced at the identity token.

The Great Chaos Technique, the Great Limitless Technique, the Great Life Technique, and the Great Void Technique are all included.

There is also a series of spiritual practice experiences and insights.

"Next, my research will focus on the Great Life Technique corresponding to the Undying Dao Body. Although I lack the core techniques to master this divine ability, this document has pointed me to the key to achieving minor success in cultivating the Undying Dao Body..."

The essence of immortality is life.

There is life before there is death.

He needs to comprehend the true meaning of life in order to find the opportunity to attain immortality and achieve minor success in the Dao.

"I'll do my research while waiting for a stroke of inspiration."

Li put away his identity token, washed himself, and changed his clothes.

They left the cultivation cave.

It's time to go and see his fiefdom.

Not long after he left the cave, the Fifth Realm Elder who had greeted him earlier arrived shortly after hearing the news.

"The Biography of Li Zhen."

He handed over a storage bag: "The cultivation supplies and Taiyi refined gold you requested are all here. Please take a look."

Li glanced at it first.

Besides the Taiyi Refined Gold, there are also two portions of Baidi Refined Gold inside.

His cultivation over this period, as well as his recent absorption of the furnace from a sixth-realm tribulation cultivator, has resulted in the accumulation of a considerable amount of immortal weapon metal within his body, and the golden energy has clearly overwhelmed the baleful energy.

Therefore, he didn't need much Taiyi Refined Gold, so he bought a share of about 20 million, some healing pills and materials, and the rest he exchanged for a Nine-Turn Creation Pill and two portions of White Emperor Refined Gold.

"The product is good."

Li Xian withdrew his gaze and asked, "Are there any celestial ships heading to the Sea of ​​Fallen Stars?"

"A spaceship will depart for the Fallen Star Sea in six days, but another spaceship will depart for the Ascending Immortal City this afternoon."

The elder said.

"Dengxian City?"

After a moment's thought, Li Xian quickly came to a conclusion.

That city of the number one independent cultivators in the world.

Ascension City is not far from White Stone Port, and White Stone Port is only tens of thousands of miles away from Xuanming Island...

If he travels quickly, he can get there in a day.

Although it's not as easy as taking a flying boat, it saves a lot of time.

"This afternoon, please make the arrangements for me."

Li Xiandao.

"Li Zhenchuan, you're too kind. I'll make the contact for you right away."

The Fifth Realm Elder was very polite.

Despite being labeled as having challenged Yi Yuanshi, Li Xian seemed utterly ignorant of his own limitations.

but……

As soon as he arrived, His Majesty Xuanling appeared directly.

This kind of treatment...

This reminded him of another rumor surrounding the duel—that the sect wanted to use Yi Daozi's pressure to hone Li Xian and create another "peerless" genius.

Although it was just speculation, without any evidence, these elders, whose potential had been exhausted, dared not be negligent in the slightest.

In the afternoon, Li Xian boarded the flying boat bound for Dengxian City.

This flying boat is much smaller than the Sky Boat, but it is still over 300 meters long.

The elder in charge of the flying boat was also at the fifth level of cultivation. He treated Li Xian with the same courtesy, arranging for him to stay in the room with the best space and view.

As the flying boat set off, Li Xian glanced at the curse left on his body by the demonic cultivator.

"I don't know if these marks on my body will still have any effect."

He deliberately kept it and didn't remove it.

Hopefully, when he goes to the Fallen Star Sea, those demonic cultivators will give him a surprise.

As he traveled by flying boat to the city of the number one independent cultivators in the world, the day of his duel with An Jing and Wu Chengzhou officially arrived.

However, this time, although Wu Chengzhou returned to the Huang family's challenge location, he directly chose to concede defeat.

This result, however, left An Jing, who had risked his life to break through to the Five Qi Gathering Realm, feeling dissatisfied.

As for his dissatisfaction...

……

"Without climbing to the summit, one cannot know the immensity of the sky and the earth; without seeing the sun and moon, one cannot recognize the brilliance of the sky."

Wu Chengzhou looked at An Jing and said, "When I truly witnessed the strength that a fourth-realm cultivator could achieve, I realized how ridiculous the ironclad rules shaped by our knowledge and experience were, and how boring the petty squabbles at the lower realms were in the face of those true prodigies."

An Jing looked at Wu Chengzhou, whose entire demeanor seemed to have undergone a tremendous change, and was immediately somewhat surprised.

"I heard that your airship was attacked on its way back to Mount Moyun and suffered heavy losses. It seems that this attack has had a significant impact on you?"

He spoke.

"You do not know?"

Wu Chengzhou was somewhat surprised.

"What? Should I know?"

"That's true, you've spent the past month focusing on breaking through your cultivation level..."

Wu Chengzhou slowly exhaled: "A cultivator at the True Fire of the Sun Realm attacked our flying boat..."

"A cultivator at the sixth realm!?"

An Jing felt a chill run down his spine.

With the Immortal Golden Core cultivator already considered a regional overlord, a cultivator at the sixth realm is practically the most elite cultivator the outside world can come into contact with.

After hundreds of years of establishing their family and clan, the strongest among them was only at the fifth level of Taiyin True Essence.

"When we encountered that sixth-realm cultivator, he was being hunted down by a fourth-realm cultivator. The reason our flying boat was destroyed and the people on board suffered heavy losses was entirely due to the impact of this great battle..."

Wu Chengzhou said slowly.

"Wait a minute!? The Fourth Realm!? You didn't say it backwards!? The Fourth Realm Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, chasing down a Grand Cultivator of the Sixth Realm Sun True Fire!?"

An Jing quickly inquired.

"good."

Wu Chengzhou nodded slowly, looking at him: "And that Four Realms... you know who I'm talking about."

An Jing was slightly taken aback at first.

Immediately afterwards, it was as if an invisible current rose from his body, flowed throughout his entire body, and finally converged at his forehead, giving him an instant feeling of numbness all over his body.

"Li... Xian!?"

"Correct."

"It was...it was him!?"

An Jing's pupils contracted sharply.

Despite the fact that he killed several fourth and fifth realm cultivators without even letting them escape, the outside world had already speculated that his combat strength was close to, or even no less than, that of a sixth realm cultivator.

but……

Guessing is one thing.

But whether it's actually confirmed is another matter entirely.

especially……

According to Wu Chengzhou, Li Xian was not actually evenly matched with a sixth-realm cultivator, but rather...

They defeated that sixth-realm cultivator!
They're still hunting him down!?

This is hardly close to or comparable to a sixth-realm cultivator!

He has clearly surpassed the scope of ordinary sixth-realm cultivators; even among the sixth realm, he can be considered a strongman!
"He actually... has gone this far..."

An Jing felt a moment of disorientation.

"Therefore, our competition is unnecessary and meaningless..."

Wu Chengzhou said.

After witnessing the unparalleled immortal grace of such a great lineage master, he truly felt that their competition was as laughable as children playing house.

After a long pause, he finally said, "If we must have a competition, let's see who can get closer to him in ten years."

near!

That's the only word he dares to use.

As for catching up with or surpassing...

Not even the slightest thought could arise.

An Jing glanced at Wu Chengzhou, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

This competition is indeed unnecessary.

"so be it."

An Jing said.

At this moment, not only Wu Chengzhou, but even he, the pride of the Great Luo Immortal Sect who had forged an unparalleled foundation, felt a sense of emotion upon hearing about Li Xian's achievements.

The frog at the bottom of the well leaps out to see the vast sun and moon; the mayfly at dawn and dusk plunges in to glimpse the endless blue sky.

Genius!

When the brilliant sun in the sky begins to shine, the countless stars are destined to be completely dimmed and disappear under its boundless light.

……

Li Xian began to comprehend the details of several fundamental divine abilities.

At one moment, a burst of barely suppressed cheers seemed to come from outside.

"We've arrived at Ascension City."

"This is my first time here! The number one city of rogue cultivators in the world! The city founded by Li Qianfan, the number one rogue cultivator in the world! A holy land in the hearts of all rogue cultivators!"

"It is said that countless people are waiting for this True Monarch Qianfan to undergo his tribulation. Once he successfully undergoes his tribulation and becomes a powerful immortal, he will become an eternal spiritual benchmark for all the rogue cultivators in the world. When he raises his arm and gives orders, with his reputation, he can immediately establish a top-notch force that is no less powerful than the six major demonic sects and the four great immortal dynasties!"

On the airship, bursts of excited discussions could be heard continuously.

Li Xian also composed himself and looked into the distance.

Amidst the verdant mountains, a colossal city came into view.

The city was so vast that it stretched for thousands of miles, with no end in sight.

Countless palaces, pavilions, courtyards, and grottoes dot the landscape.

On some main streets, countless cultivators and martial artists travel by carriage, horse, bird, and sword, shuttling through the area.

Along both sides of the street, numerous shops selling elixirs, crafting tools, food, herbs, talismans, pets, lodging, and dual cultivation services were lined up, creating a bustling and lively atmosphere.

Because mortals are not allowed to enter or leave the Immortal City, in terms of its bustling atmosphere and population, even the Great Luo Immortal Sect cannot compare with it.

"Would you like to visit the Immortal Ascension City, Li Zhenchuan?"

When the elder in charge of the flying boat saw Li Xian come out, he smiled and cupped his hands: "Although the supplies sold in the Immortal Ascension City are aimed at ordinary cultivators, this place is a gathering place for cultivators from all over the country. Among these cultivators, those who can form a foundation for the Dao will have some opportunities and can sometimes find some good things."

"No need, I'll come back another time."

As Li Xian spoke, he immediately mounted his sword and flew away from the flying boat, heading towards Xuanming Island.

Xuanming Island is closer to Dengxian City than to Youxian Island.

Furthermore, Li Xian's strength at this moment was dozens of times greater than when he first came to the Falling Star Sea. He flew through the air on his sword with a sense of ease and freedom.

As he inhaled and exhaled, the Primordial Dao Foundation drew in a massive amount of primordial energy, which was then easily broken down by the five internal organs, which had been refined by the innate five energies, and transformed into magical power that circulated throughout his body.

Guided by his spiritual consciousness, this magical power transformed into the Sun-Chasing Sword Qi, enveloping Li Xian's body. This feeling...

It's somewhat similar to the feeling of soaring through the heavens and earth in a dream.

Power follows the will.

The more spiritual awareness one activates, the faster one can fly.

"You have activated the Void Dao Body. You can try to integrate the Sun Chasing Sword Qi into the void and then use the void as propulsion. It might allow you to fly faster."

At this moment, spiritual fluctuations emanated from the Spirit Ruins.

"Void..."

Upon hearing what Lingxu said, Li Xian tried to sense the void with his spiritual sense and then integrate his sword energy into it.

As this fusion approaches, the air resistance to him decreases significantly.

Although it didn't drop to a point where it was completely gone, its flight speed suddenly increased significantly.

In particular, with the significant reduction in air resistance, his flight state is similar to entering a vacuum, meaning that each acceleration leads to an increase in flight speed.

With this superposition, Li Xian clearly felt that the speed at which the sea and clouds were flying backward was becoming increasingly astonishing.

The aftershocks from its mere flight completely tore apart the sea of ​​clouds in front of it, creating a chasm tens or even hundreds of miles long.

He couldn't even calculate his current flight speed.

At some point...

As if some ripples had appeared in the void, his figure suddenly broke free from this state.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had crashed into a wall...

"Boom!"

The void centered on him was as if it had been hit by a super air cannon, and the visible shock wave instantly shattered and rushed out to a radius of several thousand meters.

The sea below seemed to collapse under the pressure, first sinking, and then waves spread in all directions, creating a small-scale tsunami.

And, this is just the beginning.

As more than a dozen white shockwaves exploded around him, his body was sent flying dozens of miles before finally coming to a stop.

Even though he had cultivated the Floating Dawn True Body, this violent "impact" still left him feeling dizzy and disoriented.

When he looked ahead again...

But then they saw a large island not far away.

Based on the shape of that island...

"Point Star Island!? I... I flew 90,000 li in an hour?"

Even Li Xian himself was surprised.

The key point is that it didn't even consume much magic power!?

"What's this? Your understanding of the Void Dao Body is too shallow. Once you've achieved minor mastery of the Void Dao Body and cultivated a better escape technique, traveling 90,000 li in an hour, or even 190,000 or 290,000 li, won't be difficult."

Lingxu scoffed, "Moreover, if you refine the void and merge with the Dao using the Great Dao of Void, the entire True Immortal Great World will be your backyard, which you can roam freely."

Li Xian directly omitted Lingxu's boastful words.

He briefly reflected on his previous flight experience, digesting and summarizing it as he flew towards Xuanming Island.

Soon after, an island three hundred miles long and one hundred miles wide appeared before our eyes.

We've arrived at Xuanming Island.

Li Xian landed directly in the center of Xuanming Island.

However, as he approached the complex of buildings in the center of the island, he discovered that human presence was extremely rare.

Moreover, he arrived without being greeted by a single resident elder.

At that moment, he unleashed his magical power: "Where is the person in charge of Xuanming Island? Come to me immediately."

Soon, it seemed as if people were moving around in the building complex.

A Dao Foundation Realm cultivator led about ten Innate Realm cultivators over.

"But... in person, Li Zhenchuan?"

"it's me."

Li responded.

Upon hearing his words, the Dao Foundation Realm cultivator let out a long sigh of relief: "Master Li, you've finally arrived! Pirates have attacked the island... The island... All the elders stationed on the island have perished in battle."
