Invincible!

Chapter 229 Threat
There are only two Dao artifacts that can be passed down.

However, digesting the remaining seventy-nine supernatural powers, techniques, and insights is still not an easy task for Li Xian.

Even among these traditions, those of ghost immortals still have commendable aspects.

After all, even though the Ghost Immortal hadn't cultivated pure Yang Immortal Power, he could still enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years.

Over the course of thousands of years, they have cultivated each and every technique to its highest level.

Among these techniques, Li Xian saw five copies of the Tenth Heaven's Floating Dawn True Body and the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi Inheritance.

Most exquisite spells have a limit of seven or eight levels, and only sect-protecting spells can be cultivated to the ninth level.

Ninefold is theoretically the limit of magic.

Those supreme techniques of the tenth heaven are realms that ghost immortals who could not cultivate immortal arts over millions of years have continuously optimized and finally opened up.

This kind of magic is enough to rival immortal magic.

With these inheritances, Li Xian's understanding of the Floating Dawn True Body and the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi has reached its limit. Next, as long as the resources keep up, breaking through the realm of magic will no longer be difficult.

Besides magic, Li Xian also gained experience in sword domain cultivation after perfecting sword intent from the remaining will of many people.

Among them, the sword intent and supernatural power of a Nascent Soul Immortal caught his attention.

"There are quite a few people who have mastered the sword domain, or rather, the domain of magic, through eighty-one inheritances, but only one person has developed sword intent and supernatural powers."

Li Xian looked at the information about this Nascent Soul Immortal.

Floating Light Sword Immortal.

The timeframe for their fall was ten thousand years ago.

still is……

"Hmm? He's actually a disciple of Supreme Master Zhuoyong?"

Li Xian sensed this information, a hint of surprise in his expression.

Among the powerful immortals of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, there are those like Ji Mingyue who left the sect to establish their own lineage, and there are also human immortals and earth immortals who served the sect and were revered as Supreme Elders.

Those who are the best among the immortals and make great contributions to the sect can enter the Supreme Elder Council and become part of the sect's decision-making body.

And the Supreme Lord Zhuoyong...

He was one of the members of the Supreme Elders Council.

Moreover, he is different from those immortals and earth immortals who entered the position of Supreme Elder based on their merits.

He is a mortal immortal who has already attained the state of "refining emptiness and merging with the Dao".

If one is willing, one can ascend to immortality without going through the gates of the celestial realm, relying on one's own strength to unite with the Dao and borrow the power of the Great Dao of the Void.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to teach disciples like the Floating Light Sword Immortal, and that he was able to subdue the Heavenly Demon in the Lava Sea as easily as beating his grandson.

"The reason why the Floating Light Sword Immortal is named after Floating Light is because he has mastered this Floating Light Sword Intent Divine Power. However, the essence of this divine power is speed, an unbelievable speed."

Li Xian closed his eyes, sensing the profound mystery of this sword intent technique...

The Floating Light Sword Intent Divine Power is speed, while his sword intent divine power is weight, using terrifying weight to crush the opponent's mind and slow down the opponent's thinking.

The two seem to be completely opposite.

But when Li Xian truly comprehended this sword intent, he was shocked to discover...

"The Great Dao that the Floating Light Sword Intent points to is actually the Great Dao of Time."

He was a little surprised.

At the same time, I finally understand why this Floating Light Sword Immortal never broke through to the Human Immortal realm before his death.

The Great Way of Time, the Great Way of Void, and the Great Way of Creation are known as the cornerstones of the Great Way.

Although it is called the "cornerstone", the simpler something is, the more difficult it is to study in depth.

The Great Dao of Emptiness, but upon closer examination, reveals that this is the essence of "existence." Only those who acknowledge the Great Dao of Emptiness can be considered truly existent.

Just like one plus one equals two, everyone knows that, but...

From a different perspective, only by understanding that one plus one equals two can one possess the concept of "logical thinking," thus proving that one belongs to a life form capable of communication and can be included in the category of "intelligent beings."

If one does not understand the existence of this concept, even if it may have life, in the understanding of "intelligent life," it is like wind, thunder, solar storms, cosmic disasters, but it is definitely not intelligent life.

There will be no parallel in "cognition" between the two.

In this situation, the Void Dao is the natural number one, the Creation Dao is the natural number two, and the Time Dao is the plus sign that makes the sum of the two natural numbers one equal to the natural number two. It belongs to the variable where one plus one equals two.

The slightest anomaly caused the difficulty of comprehending it to increase exponentially.

"Children all know that one is one, two is two, and two ones make one two, but when they are asked to calculate one plus one, it involves logical thinking... Even if it is very simple, it still evolves into variables... Cultivators are the same. They understand that the Great Dao of Void is the Great Dao of Void, and they understand that the Great Dao of Creation is the Great Dao of Creation, but the Great Dao of Time, which connects them, is much more difficult to understand."

Li Xian sensed this change and understood why the Floating Light Sword Immortal ultimately failed to create the body of a human immortal.

After all, the purpose of having the body of a human immortal is to facilitate enlightenment.

How can one cultivate an immortal body if one has not even grasped the Dao?
At the same time, he also understood why this sword intent resonated with him.

Time can affect not only the physical realm, but also the void realm, and even the cognitive realm.

By distorting the practitioner's perception of the concept of "time," the speed of their thinking is slowed down.

Just like...

"Reduce the propagation rate of the opponent's nerve signals!"

Li Xian's thoughts raced, and flashes of inspiration struck.

"By distorting spatial cognition, the opponent's neural signals need to travel a longer distance to travel, thus slowing down the arrival speed of their instructions... even making the curvature of the distortion greater than the transmission speed of the neural signals... thereby pausing their thinking and cognition."

A series of flashes of inspiration flowed continuously in his mind.

Guided by these inspirations, his understanding of this sword intent technique deepened, and his own sword intent technique became more and more perfect.

……

As the core location of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals is naturally extremely important.

Xu Jinglong, a supreme elder of the celestial realm, guards the place at all times.

Moreover, Li Xian, as a peerless master who has recently gained fame, is no longer completely unknown to the sect's higher-ups.

Being buried in the Immortal Ancient Land is a great opportunity for any Daoist, and the higher one's talent, the greater the opportunity one will receive.

This time, his cultivation of the Golden Core and his deep immersion in it naturally attracted the attention of many powerful beings from the Immortal Realm.

Therefore, when Li Xian brought forth the Dao artifact, the several Supreme Elders who had been drawn to it exclaimed in surprise.

However, all the peerless geniuses of the past who entered the Immortal Ancient Land were able to obtain the inheritance of Dao artifacts, which guided them on the path to the Immortal Realm.

Although Li Xian's artifact was recognized as a superior Dao artifact, the Hunyuan Pearl, the group was surprised for a moment before calming down.

But when the second superior Dao artifact, the Flowing Void Sword, appeared, these Supreme Elders finally became restless.

"The Primordial Chaos Pearl and the Flowing Void Sword! These are both top-grade Dao artifacts!"

"To have two top-grade Dao artifacts by himself, this Li Xiandaozi... is truly blessed by heaven, favored by the ancestors of our Great Luo Immortal Sect."

"The last Daoist who obtained the inheritance of a Dao artifact was Yi Yuanshi a hundred years ago, but he only obtained an ordinary Dao artifact. Could this Daoist Li's talent be even greater than that of Daoist Yi?"

These exclamations of amazement and envy lasted for a moment, but then a different voice came through.

"Gentlemen, what we need to be concerned about is not this issue, but rather superior-grade Dao artifacts! How many loose immortals in my Great Luo Immortal Sect possess superior-grade Dao artifacts? No more than ten percent!"

The speaker was none other than Lei Jun, the Hall Master of the Guardian Hall.

The rogue immortal who had cultivated to the primordial spirit spoke solemnly: "Right now, these two treasures, which would be more than a blessing to any rogue immortal, are in the hands of Li Xian alone... If outsiders find out about this, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."

His words stirred something in the hearts of the two wandering immortals, who almost immediately guessed his meaning.

"Two top-grade Dao artifacts... are indeed too conspicuous. Unless Li Daozi never uses them again, or never leaves the territory of the Great Luo Immortal Sect after possessing them, once he uses these two great treasures outside and others find out... let alone the six major demonic sects, the Twilight Divine Court, the Silent Ancient Temple, the demon race, and other forces, even the other major immortal sects will have powerful immortals who become greedy and attack him regardless of their status!"

“That’s right. I think that for Li Daozi’s safety, it would be better for him to hand over these two superior Dao artifacts to the sect for safekeeping for the time being. When he transcends the tribulation and becomes an immortal, the Dao artifacts can be returned to him. Otherwise, it will be like a child carrying gold in a bustling market, which will bring about his death.”

The two wandering immortals immediately echoed this sentiment.

The three of them talked back and forth, seemingly genuinely concerned for Li Xian, which naturally attracted the attention of Xu Jinglong and Lü Qing, two wandering immortals in the arena.

Those who can cultivate to become free-spirited immortals are all intelligent people, and they naturally understood what the three were thinking.

"Li Xianneng's ability to inherit the ancient artifact of the Burial Immortal is due to his exceptional talent. It would be best if the two of you did not interfere too much."

Xu Jinglong gave a reminder.

Lu Qing added, "Li Daozi is highly regarded by Xuanling Pavilion and Sect Master Lu. To ensure his safety, Elder Yue of the Supreme Elder Council was invited to the Endless Sea, and Elder Zhuoyong of the Lava Volcano personally crafted a tribulation-crossing magic weapon for him. It would be best not to mention what Palace Master Lei said again."

“The Xuanling Pavilion is wholeheartedly devoted to the sect’s interests, and has been doing so for hundreds of thousands of years. I respect it for that. However… while it acts fairly and justly, it doesn’t interfere much with the cultivation of its prodigies. At most, it offers advice.”

Lei Jun glanced at the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals: "However, how arrogant and proud are geniuses like Li Daozi who have cultivated for thirty-one years to become Golden Core? How could they understand the wickedness of people's hearts? Even with the reminder from Xuanling, he would probably be stubborn and willful. This can be seen from his style of doing things over the years."

The immortal said in a deep voice, "Under these circumstances, we, as elders, naturally have to find ways to protect him from the wind and rain, give him guidance, and prevent him from going astray."

"The tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. This has been true since ancient times. Just as one cannot ascend to immortality without undergoing tribulation by lightning, Li Daozi has experienced many storms along the way, yet he has persevered. It is evident that even in the face of crisis, he was able to find a way to withstand it."

Lü Qingdao.

“I don’t doubt Li Daozi’s strength. According to intelligence, even if his combat power hasn’t reached the level of a Seven-Scar True Monarch, it’s probably not far off, but…”

Lei Jun said in a deep voice, "Li Daozi would naturally disdain ordinary crises, but high-grade Dao artifacts are of great importance. Not to mention Nascent Soul Immortals, even Dharma Aspect Immortals cannot ignore them. No matter how capable Li Xian is, how will he deal with an attack by such a powerful figure?"

"For a rival force to send a Dharma Aspect Immortal to assassinate our peerless genius of the Great Luo Immortal Sect without any prior warning, it's hard not to suspect that something is wrong within our Great Luo Immortal Sect! This is the fault of those of us in charge of the Great Luo Immortal Sect!"

Lü Qing said heavily.

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

Lei Jun seemed to have good intentions: "Li Daozi is an unparalleled figure. In the future, he is expected to refine the void and merge with the Dao, and become a true immortal. If he were to perish due to some avoidable crisis... that would be the greatest loss to our Great Luo Immortal Sect."

Before Lü Qing could say anything more, Xu Jinglong suddenly transmitted his thoughts to her: "Grandmaster Lü Qing, do you favor Li Daozi more?"

"Ok?"

Lu Qing was slightly surprised when he heard Xu Jinglong's telepathic message.

What does it mean to have high hopes for Li Daozi?
After a moment's thought, he realized something, and his expression changed slightly: "You mean..." "Yes."

Xu Jinglong responded, "Li Daozi has cultivated the Golden Core in such a short time, and his combat strength is almost on par with that of a True Monarch... Such achievements are not much different from those of Yi Daozi. If we consider that Li Daozi has only been cultivating for a little over thirty years... he is probably even more outstanding than Yi Daozi. Now, he has also obtained two superior Dao artifacts in one go..."

He stated bluntly, "They are already wary."

Lü Qing couldn't help but glance at Lei Jun.

Since Yi Yuanshi was recognized as an unparalleled true immortal seed, he has been regarded by the people of the Great Luo Immortal Sect as the next generation leader of the Great Luo Immortal Sect and Lu Linyuan's only successor.

His contemporaries...

Even the vice sect leader who survived the tribulation and attained immortality before him could not match his talent and ability.

In this situation, many people naturally invested in him early on.

One by one, the elders sent their family descendants to Yi Yuanshi's side, forming a group.

Suddenly, Li Xian appeared and performed exceptionally well, posing a threat to Yi Yuanshi's status and position...

They had no choice but to take action.

Over the past century, they have accumulated considerable sunk costs on Yi Yuanshi.

Therefore, his real purpose in making this statement was not to target the two Dao artifacts, but to put Li Xian in a difficult position.

No wonder Xu Jinglong asked if he favored Li Daozi more.

"Li Daozi is exceptionally talented. While he may not be as good as Yi Daozi at present, if we look at the bigger picture over a hundred or a thousand years, he might surpass him..."

Lu Qing pondered for a moment: "However... I have no connection with Li Daozi, so naturally I have no opinion on whether he is optimistic or pessimistic."

"Judging from Li Xian's current growth trend, he has indeed surpassed Yi Daozi by a slight margin, but... compared to Li Xian's penchant for taking risks, Yi Daozi's path is undoubtedly more stable."

Xu Jinglong said.

Finally, he immediately added, "Of course, this is just my personal opinion."

"secure……"

After a moment's thought, and recalling Li Xian's style of doing things, Lü Qing finally nodded.

Nothing more was said.

He glanced at Lei Jun, but did not reply.

Seeing this, Lei Jun understood his attitude and immediately smiled slightly at him to show his friendliness.

……

The magical insights, supernatural power inheritances, and Daoist body experiences of the seventy-nine wandering immortals kept Li Xian deeply engrossed in them, constantly studying and comprehending them!

Over the course of nearly two years, all his insights and experiences converged into a powerful foundation for Li Xian's cultivation journey, giving him an unprecedentedly clear vision of the path to refining the spirit and even becoming a wandering immortal.

How powerful are the spells of the wandering immortals?

What kind of magic do the immortals use when they fight each other?

From what perspective do they understand magic and supernatural powers?

What do the excavation of the Dao body and various Great Daos mean for wandering immortals?

Everything is clear and distinct.

"A wandering immortal."

After completing this round of reflection, Mr. Li let out a long sigh of relief.

"I finally understand why every Dao Child is regarded as a seed of immortality... The various inheritances of the Burial Immortal Ancient Land are basically equivalent to allowing Dao Children to enter the world of Loose Immortals in advance, directly raising their level of cognition and laying a good foundation for immortality... With this foundation, as long as there are no major mistakes or they perish halfway, they basically have the hope of breaking through to become Loose Immortals."

Of course, the premise is...

They were able to survive the tribulation of lightning.

"The Nine Great Immortal Sects truly live up to their name. The broadened horizons brought about by their experience and insights are unmatched by any of the Six Great Demonic Sects or the Four Great Immortal Dynasties. In less than two years, they have cleared all the obstacles from Golden Core to Spirit Refining, and from Spirit Refining to Loose Immortal. This is the foundation of a great sect."

At this moment, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh: "If one truly comprehends and quickly masters each technique, wouldn't it make the tribulation in the future much easier?"

Is the success rate the same whether one possesses nine or ten layers of magical abilities to undergo tribulation or only possesses seven or eight layers?
"With two superior Dao artifacts by my side, I've unraveled the confusion of cultivating two supreme techniques up to the tenth level, clarified the path of cultivation ahead, and... my sword intent and supernatural abilities have been perfected..."

Li Xian's body leaped into the air.

"This trip to the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals was worthwhile!"

The next moment, his figure had already passed through the mist above the Ancient Burial Ground and appeared directly outside the ancient ground.

However, as soon as he appeared, three figures appeared at the same time.

Each of them possessed a flow of pure Yang immortal energy.

That pure, yang energy, like the bright sun in early winter, seems to dispel all cold and gloom, making people want to bask in it and enjoy its warmth.

A nascent soul immortal!?
"Li Daozi, I am Lei Jun, the Hall Master of the Guardian Hall. Congratulations on your successful return from the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals."

Lei Jun, who was in the lead, introduced himself with a smile, and then showed goodwill: "After you have become a Daoist, you need to choose an important position in the sect. It just so happens that my Guardian Hall is short of manpower. Can Daoist Li come and help me? I can let you act as the Hall Master of Guardian Hall."

"The Guardian Hall?"

The Great Luo Immortal Sect has nine halls, each responsible for matters large and small within the sect. Among them, the Punishment Hall is responsible for internal punishments within the Great Luo Immortal Sect. When elders or disciples of the sect make mistakes, the Punishment Hall is responsible for resolving them.

The Guardian Hall is specifically responsible for apprehending criminals and maintaining order within the sect's territory. Wherever demonic cultivators or robber cultivators cause trouble, or wherever affiliated forces rebel, the Guardian Hall is responsible for suppressing them.

It can be considered one of the powerful and violent institutions within the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

but……

The Guardian Hall is only concerned with matters within the Great Luo Immortal Sect's territory, so what kind of experts could be lurking within the Great Luo Immortal Sect?
It would be better to follow the Conquest Hall to fight in foreign wars and expand territory.

"I appreciate Lord Lei's kindness, but I have no interest in serving in the Guardian Hall."

As Li Xian spoke, he cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and prepared to leave.

"Li Daozi, please wait."

Lei Jun hurriedly said, "Li Daozi, do you know that your current situation is extremely dangerous? The bounty on you has already reached hundreds of billions. Many forces... especially the six major demonic sects, the divine race, and the demon race, have even brought out their tribulation-crossing treasures to assassinate you..."

"Only in the hundreds of billions?"

Li Xian was somewhat surprised: "I remember that after I fought against a thousand men in the Heavenly Light Secret Realm, the bounty on me was almost 100 billion. At that time, I hadn't even broken through to the Golden Core stage yet. Before the Golden Core stage, it was 100 billion, and now it's still 100 billion. Doesn't that mean my breakthrough was for nothing?"

He even seemed a little angry: "What are the six demonic sects and those alien races thinking? Aren't they afraid that if I get angry, they'll turn around and go undergo tribulation?"

"Uh……"

These words left Lei Jun completely bewildered.

He was just about to intimidate Li Xian into handing over the artifact for safekeeping, but then...

"Ahem, that's not the point... The point is that you're in an extremely dangerous situation right now, especially since you obtained two more Dao artifacts in the Ancient Burial Grounds, right? You should know what Dao artifacts mean to rogue immortals. Given their allure, they will inevitably..."

"I understand. You want me to take this Dao artifact and wander around the outside world to attract many experts, so that we can wipe out those with ulterior motives?"

Li Xian interrupted him, readily agreeing, "Sure! When?"

Then, he glanced at Lei Jun and said, "However, since your target is the loose immortals or even true immortals among the demonic sects and alien races, I'm afraid Palace Master Lei alone is not enough. Why don't you invite the sect leader or more experts from the Xuanling Sect?"

After saying that, he even called out, "Is Lord Xuanling here?"

"I'm here."

"call out!"

A flash of spiritual light appeared, and a figure appeared directly above the Ancient Burial Ground.

At this moment, Lei Jun and the two rogue immortals beside him twitched at the same time.

"Palace Master Lei Jun just made a suggestion..."

Li Xian repeated what he had just said, and then added at the end, "However, this plan is a bit rough and needs Lord Xuanling's help to improve it."

"Li Daozi's thinking is a bit too simplistic. The Immortal Realm and the Dao Realm are two completely different worlds."

Xuanling smiled and said, "You are not only the Dao Child of my Great Luo Immortal Sect, but also an unparalleled True Immortal Seed. If you die at the hands of the enemy True Monarch, the sect will avenge you, but it will not be enough to launch a full-scale war. However, if the Immortal Realm bullies you and attacks you, what awaits them will be a thunderous counterattack from our Great Luo Immortal Sect."

Its tone was filled with absolute confidence: "No matter which of the six major demonic sects or alien races dares to do this, our Great Luo Immortal Sect will do everything in its power to search the mountains and seas and hunt them down to the end! Even if they hide in their headquarters, our Great Luo Immortal Sect will send a True Immortal to kill them at their headquarters and make them pay for their blood debt."

Li Xian was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"The Immortal Realm is different from the Dao Realm. The number of Immortal Realms in the entire True Immortal Great World is limited. Once they make a move, it's impossible to hide it!"

Xuanling added, "My sect's Daoist Yi also possesses a Dao artifact and frequently leaves the sect, yet not a single Immortal Realm expert dares to make a move! This is an unspoken rule among all forces; once broken, it will be the start of a full-scale war, and no one can bear such a price!"

Total War...

In the current state of the True Immortal World, although there are many frictions between the major forces, major wars at the Immortal Realm level are indeed rare, making it a relatively peaceful era.

If we were to abandon all bottom lines and rules, launch a full-scale war, and fight towards the extermination of clans and tribes, I doubt many families would be willing.

"Lord Lei has been cultivating for over six thousand years, how could he make such a fundamental mistake?"

Xuanling turned to Leijun and said with a smile.

But that smile sent a chill down Lei Jun's spine for no apparent reason. After a long while, he finally said, "That was not actually my intention..."

"Is that so? Li Daozi is an unparalleled true immortal seed in our sect. If there are any suggestions related to Li Daozi, Palace Master Lei and I can speak frankly. I believe that as long as the suggestions are beneficial to the development of our Great Luo Immortal Sect, I will adopt and improve them."

Xuanling maintained her smile.

"Understood... I certainly trust Lord Xuanling."

Lei Jun quickly responded.

Xuanling nodded slightly, no longer looking at the Hall Master of the Guardian Hall, but turning to Li Xian: "Li Daozi, the Sect Master has already made preliminary arrangements for your position. Please come with me."

"it is good."

Li Xian nodded and quickly disappeared into the distance with the Xuanling Escape Light.
