Invincible!

Chapter 221 Interception
As Li entered the hall, he was met by a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a gentle and refined demeanor, and a woman in her late twenties, exuding mature charm, who were both looking at him.

He recognized the man in his thirties among them.

Or rather, you've seen his image.

The person who delivered the Eight Realms Magic Treasure was none other than Ji Qingfeng.

Ji Qingfeng is here, but what about the other person...?

Ji Mingyue, the leader of the Taiqing Sword Sect, had already passed the tribulation of lightning, condensed her primordial spirit, transformed the true essence in her body into pure yang immortal power, and entered the great realm of immortality. She could be called the Corpse-Dissolving Immortal.

but……

Isn't it said that the primordial spirit immortals have abandoned their physical bodies and only exist in the form of their primordial spirits?

How come this Sect Leader Ji looks exactly like the real person?
Could it be that he has already reshaped his body and cultivated into an immortal?
"Mr. Li, what do you think of the suggestion I just made?"

Ji Mingyue's voice came again.

His words are clear and distinct, each one seemingly resonating with his perception, and he has captured the meaning of each word with unparalleled clarity.

This method...

Speech has become a habit.

If she so chooses, a soft laugh, resonating with the soul, can encompass a thousand words.

"Six Realms True Fire..."

In the past, Li Xian would not have been very interested in his own realm; his attention was already on Golden Core cultivators and even Refining Spirit Grandmasters.

but……

He already knew from his casual chat with Xu Shiping that among the six realms of true fire, he was at best the best in the Eastern Continent, not the best in the world.

There may still be someone in the Nine Heavens Holy Land who is above him.

If there are those above him, then there must be many who are not much different from him, or only slightly inferior.

Song Xuanyan, who had fought him not long ago, was quite capable.

That Great Sun Divine Light...

It almost burned his skin.

He was only the third-ranked disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, not even second, let alone first.

The key point is that those who came to attempt the Golden Core stage this time were not only the true disciples of various sects, but also the core elders of various sects.

Some core elders have cultivated for three or four hundred years, and their profound knowledge far surpasses that of so-called true inheritors.
If the first one is one level... two levels stronger than Song Xuanyan...

Perhaps three levels...

That would certainly pose a huge threat to him.

If there were another expert of the same level to assist...

"can."

Li Xian immediately agreed: "What are Sect Leader Ji's plans?"

Ji Mingyue smiled slightly: "The connection between heaven and earth is the opportunity to comprehend the convergence of yin and yang and condense the golden core. Once the golden core is condensed, not only can one live for a thousand years, but one can also establish a sect and become a regional overlord. Such an opportunity is so great that it is no less than a fish leaping over the dragon gate for a True Fire Realm cultivator. Therefore, the competition method set at the beginning was based on something similar to leaping over the dragon gate."

"There are several ways to leap over the dragon gate..."

Li Xian's heart skipped a beat: "Using tokens to allow people to compete for a spot?"

"Correct."

Ji Mingyue nodded slightly: "With this method, as long as you can defeat everyone with absolute strength, you can easily take all thirty-six tokens into your possession."

After she finished speaking, she paused and said, "I can promise you that you can distribute these thirty-six tokens as you see fit. Whether you use them to do favors or sell them directly, all the profits will be yours."

Xu Shiping, who had brought Li Xian with him, couldn't help but glance at Li Xian.

Sect Leader...

Or is the sect building up Li Xian's own faction?

If someone were to give away such a golden elixir opportunity that allows one to comprehend the interplay of Yin and Yang, who wouldn't feel indebted to him?
In the future, when he cultivates to become a Daoist, or even transcends tribulation and becomes an immortal, these people will naturally be incorporated into his lineage.

If any of these people were to break through to the Golden Core stage...

This resulted in several more Golden Core level subordinates.

"it is good."

Li Xian immediately agreed: "When?"

"In one month, the earth veins of Juanyun Mountain will begin to surge. During this period, thirty-six spots will be decided. You will wait quietly in my sect."

Seeing that Li Xian had agreed, Ji Mingyue nodded in agreement.

She turned her gaze to Xu Shiping: "You should arrange a cave dwelling for Li Xian. During this month, make sure to entertain Li Zhenchuan well and do not neglect him."

"Yes."

Xu Shiping readily agreed.

Li Xian is a peerless genius with the potential to become a true immortal.

The fact that his master had him accompany and entertain him throughout the trip was also a way for him to build connections with future True Immortal level people. Other disciples would beg for such an opportunity.

Seeing this, Li Xian also took out the eighth-realm magic treasure: "This is the eighth-realm magic treasure that Elder Ji wanted. Please take a look."

"it is good."

Ji Qingfeng took the sword and said with a smile, "I've heard that the sword intent inside is fierce and brilliant, and it even contains the transformation of Yang. I think it will be of great help to me when I comprehend the ultimate Yang power in thunder."

"Elder Ji's sword intent also follows the extreme yang path? We can spar with him then."

"There will be a chance."

Ji Qingfeng smiled and said, "However, Li Zhenchuan still has a tough battle to fight. He needs to conserve his energy and not let his sword intent be damaged by fighting me."

Upon hearing this, Li Xian's eyes lit up.

His mastery of swordsmanship had become widely known after the battle of Dengxian City.

In this situation, for Elder Ji to still confidently say that he was afraid of diminishing the sharpness of his sword intent, wouldn't that be...

His swordsmanship is highly skilled.

Could it be that it's already perfect?!

"Alright, let's test our sword intent against each other after the competition for the spots is over."

Li immediately agreed.

Ji Qingfeng nodded.

At that moment, Xu Shiping led Li Xian out of the main hall and headed towards the cave.

However, although the Taiqing Sword Sect guards the gateway from the Daluo Immortal Sect to the Dayu Immortal Dynasty and is a very important place, Xu Shiping, a True Person who has cultivated the Golden Core, is still a prominent figure in the entire Taiqing Sword Sect, and his every move attracts attention.

The fact that Li Xian is now traveling with him has made many people realize something.

The "guests" from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, the Wuji Star Palace, the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, and the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty, in particular, had a slight change in expression.

"Li Xian, you've actually come to Ascension Peak?"

"That's right. Although Li Xian has the record of defeating two Golden Core cultivators working together, and his reputation has recently surpassed that of Dao Zi, he is still only at the sixth level of True Fire. The world of Juanyun Mountain is connected, and Yin and Yang are intertwined. How could Li Xian miss such an opportunity that concerns the Golden Core? He must also compete for a spot!"

"This is bad! If it were just like usual, it would be fine if Li Xian competed for one spot. But if the Great Luo Immortal Sect wants to take more spots, under the leadership of Li Xian, the number one cultivator in the Eastern Continent, if the other sects don't work together, they might really gain an advantage! We must inform the sect's elders as soon as possible!"

Soon, these people returned to their respective factions and quickly informed their elders of the news.

When the Taiqing Sword Sect announced that it would allocate thirty-six slots using a token system, these forces found the situation even more troublesome.

They first discussed the matter internally, and after failing to find a way to break the deadlock, they began to communicate with several other forces, seemingly poised to join forces against the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

……

The Radiant Sun Immortal Sect.

As one of the nine great immortal sects, it naturally has a base in the Cloud Rolling Immortal City, a mountain peak with a circumference of eight hundred miles, where the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect experts reside.

At this moment, Song Xuanyan, who was only three days behind Li Xian, had just arrived at the mountain peak when he was immediately greeted by people.

"Senior Brother Song has arrived? Elder Yingze invites you in!"

"The elder has already arrived?"

Song Xuanyan was taken aback, and quickly followed the man to a rather secluded side hall.

but……

When he arrived at the side hall, he found that not only was Elder Yingze, the Seventh Elder of their Yaoyang Immortal Sect in charge of leading the team, but also several other renowned core elders from the sect.

Besides them, there were several other unfamiliar faces who didn't look particularly strong.

wrong!

These unfamiliar faces...

"Divine possession?"

Song Xuanyan, who came from the Immortal Sect, immediately noticed the strangeness of these unfamiliar faces.

It turned out that the Great Master of Refining Spirit had manifested by possessing another person's body using the method of divine consciousness possession.

"Your Yaoyang Immortal Sect's true disciple has arrived. He is the person directly involved and knows best about Li Xian's strength. Let him explain in detail."

A young man who was possessed spoke.

Elder Yingze also turned his gaze to Song Xuanyan: "You have fought with Li Xian. Tell the True Lords what secret techniques and spells Li Xian has."

True Lord!?
Song Xuanyan's heart skipped a beat.

Since ancient times, only those whose strength far surpasses the Dao Realm and who have established an invincible reputation in the Dao Realm have been given the title of True Lord, which is even more prestigious than True Person.

However, in recent years, people have also come to respect those who are stronger than those who have mastered the Refinement God realm as True Lords.

In terms of this title, respect outweighs ability.

Just like in the mundane world, anyone who is a small business owner will be respected as a "general manager".

But the prerequisite is always having some kind of status.

One must possess at least the strength of a Seven Yang cultivator to receive such flattery; otherwise, one would only make a fool of oneself.

At that moment, Song Xuanyan dared not be negligent and said in a deep voice, "That Li Xian... is indeed very capable, especially his Floating Dawn True Body, which has been cultivated to the seventh level. Even though I have cultivated the supreme technique of Great Sun Divine Light to the sixth level and possess great treasures, I still cannot do anything to his true body... With this skill... he can barely be called the number one cultivator in the Eastern Continent as rumored by the outside world."

"Oh? For someone as your rival to call him the best in the Eastern Continent, then Li Xian is indeed quite remarkable."

At this moment, an old man dressed as an elder of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect spoke up.

As for this cultivator who was also at the True Fire Realm, even as a true disciple, Song Xuanyan dared not be the slightest bit negligent: "Elder Kungang is right. Elder Guan Canghai's defeat at his hands is the best proof." The reason was simple: although the old man was at the sixth realm, he had three blazing suns tattooed on his sleeves.

This means that his combat strength is approaching that of a peak Golden Core cultivator.

However, his words caused one person in the room to fall silent for a while before someone said, "Although Guan Canghai is an elder of my Wuji Star Palace and is known for his talent that is no less than that of the Dao Child, there may be no cultivators in my Wuji Star Palace who can rival him."

He slowly said, "My sect, Su Ye, has inherited ancient traditions and cultivates ancient methods. It is necessary to grasp the mysteries of divine sense in one go, which is why his cultivation has been delayed. However... although he has not cultivated a golden core or refined divine sense, he has accumulated sword intent to a high level and comprehended a secret technique from the ancient methods... He once sparred with Elder Guan and was not at a disadvantage."

"Oh? There are such experts? That's equivalent to having two peak Golden Core experts."

As Yingze spoke, she turned her gaze to a young man: "True Lord Lieque, would your Great Yu Immortal Dynasty be willing to send out Jin Linzi, who is said to be a reincarnation of an immortal? If we add him, there is also Zhang Zhulu from the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, as well as several other sixth-realm experts from our various sects who are comparable to Golden Core cultivators... dealing with Li Xian will be a piece of cake."

"Since Elder Yingze has said so, our Great Yu Immortal Dynasty will naturally accompany him at the cost of our lives."

The "young" one, known as True Lord Lieque, said, "Besides, Fairy Tantai is Jin Linzi's junior. She was humiliated by Li Xian. Jin Linzi once mentioned to me that if Li Xian had broken through to the Golden Core realm before him, that would have been fine. But if he had achieved the Golden Core realm earlier... even if it meant bullying the weak, we must avenge Fairy Tantai's humiliation."

He paused for a moment: "At present, although we are outnumbered, it concerns the opportunity to condense the core, so we have no choice but to let him give it a try."

"That's all right."

Yingze clapped his hands and said, "The Taiqing Sword Sect has spread the word that it will allocate the quotas by seizing the tokens. It is intended to take all the quotas in one fell swoop. Therefore, whether it is for the opportunity to condense the core or to maintain the prestige of our respective parties, we must go all out. Otherwise, if all thirty-six quotas are really put into the hands of the Daluo Immortal Sect, people will think that we have no one left in the world."

The other "True Lords" also nodded.

"Li Xian's strongest technique is the Great Perfection Sword Intent. Everyone, be prepared for that time."

There's nothing we can do, Mr. Li is just too strong.

The Taiqing Sword Sect is the host of the quota allocation, and in the past, four or five tenths of the quotas were taken by the Daluo Immortal Sect. If they don't unite this time...

It's possible that all the long-awaited True Fire Realm cultivators will return empty-handed.

Then we'll truly lose all face.

……

Sunrise and sunset, ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The date of the meeting of heaven and earth is approaching, and the competition for the spots is also imminent.

During these ten days, many cultivators of the sixth realm from the five forces arrived one after another, either by flying boat or by flying sword.

Just as Li Xian had predicted, the final number of cultivators was no less than three thousand.

These three thousand-plus True Fire Realm cultivators are no ordinary people.

Those who can compete for the thirty-six spots in the Heaven and Earth Connection Realm are all, without exception, individuals who have cultivated to the peak of the True Fire Realm and are on the verge of achieving the Golden Core stage.

Those whose potential has been exhausted, or whose breakthrough has only recently been made, are not even qualified to compete for a spot.

Of the more than three thousand people, eight hundred were from the Great Luo Immortal Sect, including Lei Gang, who had previously fought Li Xian, and a dozen or so renowned True Fire Realm cultivators among the true disciples.

However, apart from those dozen or so people, the real main body consisted of a large number of core elders and numerous local forces that were dependent on the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

More than 800 people stood behind Li Xian, a dense crowd, each of them a clan patriarch in their own right.

Like the Baiyan Great Rift Valley where An Jing is stationed, located in the west of the mountains, it has three sects and sixteen clans, each with thousands of cultivators, and governs tens of millions of mortals, making it famous and powerful.

Yet none of these nineteen renowned factions were qualified to compete for this opportunity to gain enlightenment.

As the five powerful figures gathered, three others also arrived near Li Xian.

"The Biography of Li Zhen."

Among the three, the elder in the lead cupped his hands to Li Xian and said, "The three of us will follow Li Zhenchuan's lead from now on. If there are any needs or tactical arrangements, Li Zhenchuan, please feel free to give the order."

These three are also legendary figures among the sixth-realm elders of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

The old man's name was Mu Xingchui. By chance, he refined an immortal golden core into an external core, making him a pseudo-core cultivator. In addition, he was also exceptionally talented and skilled in magic. He once fought against a peak golden core cultivator and was not at a disadvantage.

The other two also each had their own opportunities.

Among them, Yang Ge has a natal spiritual treasure by his side, which allows him to unleash combat power that surpasses even the True Fire Realm. Zhang Yao, on the other hand, possesses the Golden Crow Dao Body and cultivates the supreme technique Xi Ri Xuan Yan, showing the potential of a Dao Child. However, she wasted too much time exploring her Dao Body and missed the best opportunity for cultivation, which is why she did not enter the ranks of Dao Children.

Looking at these people, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh, "The world is vast, and there are so many talented people."

When a population of hundreds of billions, trillions, or even tens of trillions is accumulated, some extraordinary talents will inevitably emerge.

Mu Xingchui, Yang Ge, and Zhang Yao were like this, as were Yi Yuanshi, Lin Taichu, Xiao Qianjie, and Luo Hengdao. The same was true for Ji Mingyue, Xu Zhou, Zhuo Yong, Yue Jiuxiao, and the sect leader Lu Linyuan, who were able to cultivate to the Immortal Realm.

"At that time, you all should lead your troops to seize the token with all your might. Leave the task of intercepting the other four forces at the True Fire Realm to me."

Li Xiandao.

At this moment, Ji Mingyue's divine sense also echoed in Li Xian's perception: "The place where the token belongs is the Heavenly Light Secret Realm, which has only one entrance and exit. If you can't stop so many people, you can let some go as you see fit. Just stop the fourteen people I mentioned..."

As she spoke, she added, "If necessary, you can stop Kun Gang, Su Ye, Zhang Zhu Lu, and Jin Lin Zi! As for the others, even if they are a threat, they can be dealt with by Mu Xing Chui, Yang Ge, and Zhang Yao."

"Don't worry, Sect Leader Ji, I know what I'm doing."

Li replied first.

"That's fine."

As Ji Mingyue spoke, she withdrew her divine sense.

Not far from the crowd, Ji Qingfeng and several other cultivators, exuding an imposing aura and displaying composure, stood tall in the sky.

As the flying boats approached, the more than three thousand True Fire Realm cultivators from the five major forces took to the air and headed straight for the Heavenly Light Secret Realm.

After flying less than 10,000 miles, a valley that seemed to be shrouded in a natural formation came into view.

"The Heavenly Light Secret Realm has been opened. All thirty-six tokens have been placed in the Heavenly Light Secret Realm. Those who hold the tokens will be qualified to comprehend the opportunity of the connection between heaven and earth and the interaction of yin and yang."

Ji Qingfeng waved his hand: "Go."

With his command, thousands of streaks of light tore through the void and headed straight for the Heavenly Light Secret Realm, hundreds of miles away.

In particular, some cultivators who are skilled in escape techniques push their escape techniques to the extreme, striving to enter the secret realm as quickly as possible and gain the upper hand.

Even most cultivators from the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, the Dayu Immortal Dynasty, the Wuji Star Palace, and the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty were no exception.

but……

Among these cultivators, there was a small group of thirty-four people who huddled together, their eyes fixed on Li Xian.

When they saw Li Xian set off, the thirty-four people followed suit.

“Kun Gang, Su Ye, Zhang Zhu Lu, and Jin Lin Zi are all among them.”

Mu Xingchui quickly reminded them, "However, they ultimately belong to four different forces, and the time is short, so they probably won't be able to master any combined attack formations."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Xian leaped forward, surprisingly overtaking everyone else with his incredibly swift escape technique, becoming the first to enter the Heavenly Light Secret Realm.

"This kind of escape technique..."

This scene caused the True Lords leading the teams from the four major forces to change their expressions slightly.

"When did the Great Luo Immortal Sect acquire such a sophisticated sword light escape technique, besides the Rainbow Transformation Technique?"

“True Lord Lieque, this Li Xian… this isn’t just a simple sword escape technique, but a divine ability! In my opinion, Li Xian must possess a Void Dao Body, otherwise his escape technique couldn’t be this fast!”

Elder Yingze said in a deep voice.

"Void Dao Body!?"

Mo Zhou Zhenjun, from the direction of Wuji Star Palace, frowned: "Why does the information gathered by our sect claim that Li Xian is suspected of having a Devouring Dao Body? And that his attainment is quite profound, perhaps already at the minor completion stage?"

"The information that my Boundless Immortal Dynasty has is pointing to the Undying Dao Body... That Li Xian, he recovered too quickly, his life is too tenacious."

Another True Lord spoke up.

As the information from various sources converged, the True Lords looked at each other in bewilderment.

They exchanged a glance and both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Could this Li Xian be like the Celestial Venerable Tianyuan, able to simulate all the supernatural powers and immortal techniques in the world using the Celestial Mystery Method? Even the profound mysteries of the Dao Body can be simulated?"

Mo Zhou Zhenjun couldn't help but say.

"Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable!"

The True Lords felt a chill run down their spines.

That's the number one expert in the True Immortal World!

but……

"To say that he is comparable to the Heavenly Origin Immortal Venerable is too much... But with such talent, I understand why the Great Luo Immortal Sect was willing to place such a heavy bet on him, and why... he was able to display combat power no less than that of the Four Cauldron Elders of my Great Yu Immortal Dynasty at the sixth level."

Lord Lieque gasped.

"Four pillars of strength..."

True Monarch Yingze said in a deep voice, "Two fists can't beat four hands. We have reached a consensus to join forces first to eliminate Li Xian. Then we will compete for the thirty-six tokens based on our own abilities. Even if Li Xian has extraordinary abilities, I don't believe he can fight against the thirty-four seventh-level combat power of our four sides!"

Upon hearing this, the other True Lords were relieved.

Besides the four sects including Kungang, which possess combat power comparable to veteran Golden Core cultivators or even peak Golden Core cultivators, there are ten other sects with combat power no weaker than Golden Core cultivators. In addition, there are twenty other sects that, while not as powerful as Golden Core cultivators, are still comparable to Demon Kings.

Therefore, Yingze's statement about the combat strength of the thirty-four great seventh realms is not an exaggeration at all.

On the other side, Ji Qingfeng looked at the four powerful figures gathered together and sighed inwardly, while simultaneously transmitting his voice towards the flying boat.

"Master, they really have joined forces, that Li Xian..."

"This is His Excellency Xuanling's arrangement, so let's trust His Excellency Xuanling."

A reply came through my consciousness.

"Your Majesty Xuanling!?"

Ji Qingfeng was slightly taken aback, but then he calmed down.

As members of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, they have grown up alongside Xuanling and have complete trust in this immortal artifact spirit that has protected the Great Luo Immortal Sect for hundreds of thousands of years.

……

Li Xian paid no attention to what the True Lords and Elders of the five external forces thought.

He took the lead and was the first to rush into the Heavenly Light Secret Realm.

After entering the Heavenly Light Secret Realm, he had no intention of going deep inside to search for the token as quickly as possible. Instead, he turned around and blocked the entrance to the Heavenly Light Secret Realm.

As the numerous True Fire Realm cultivators, led by Kun Gang, followed closely behind, he flicked his finger, unleashing a powerful sword intent that soared into the sky, manifesting as a black sun.

"Want to venture deep into the secret realm to search for the token?"

He stared directly at the thirty-four men who had also immediately turned their gazes to him, brandishing his sword and declaring, "Now, use all your strength to defeat me!"
