Invincible!

Chapter 241 Ordinary
After dealing with Shen Zangxing, Li Xian took his leave.

Qi Feng and the remaining palace masters exchanged glances.

Looking at each other.

Before Li Xian arrived, they could never have imagined that a True Monarch like Li Xian, who had already reached the pinnacle of the Dao Realm, would personally take action for Shen Zangxing, who was not even at the Golden Core level.

If they really wanted to kill Shen Zangxing, wouldn't it have been easy to just send someone over to tell them?

After all, the crimes committed by Shen Zangxing could be minor or serious, and given his influence, it wouldn't be difficult for him to order Shen Zangxing's execution.

In the end, they could only come to one conclusion.

This Li Daozi...

That's too petty.

You must never offend them again.

Otherwise, he might have been able to memorize it all and become a true immortal in the future.

"This matter is settled."

Luo Baiyi said, glancing at Wei Ruhai, "Your appointment will be issued soon; report for duty as soon as possible."

After saying that, he transformed into light and soared into the sky, leaving Wei Ruhai completely bewildered.

"My appointment?"

He immediately looked at Qi Feng: "Palace Master Qi, I..."

"Let's get to Flamefortress as soon as possible."

"Go to Flame Furnace Fortress? Why... I'm doing just fine in the sect, why do I suddenly have to go to the Endless Sea?"

Wei Ruhai was somewhat bewildered.

I felt a little panicked.

That was the front line of our Great Luo Immortal Sect in resisting the invasion of the demon race in the Endless Sea.

Every now and then, news of the passing of a Golden Core cultivator would come.

Even those who have survived the tribulation of lightning and become nascent soul immortals there dare not say that they are 100% safe.

"Your outstanding performance with a 100% case-solving rate has caught the eye of Lord Luo. Therefore, Lord Luo has personally appointed you to go to Flame Furnace Fortress to search for any spies within the fortress that may be controlled or corrupted by the demon race."

Qi Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Wei Ruhai felt a little flustered.

His 100% success rate in solving cases was achieved by forcing suspects to submit through various forms of torture and interrogation.

Although he personally felt that dealing with criminals didn't require any rules or morality, this approach didn't apply to his demon clan's spies...

It might not work well.

The suspects he tortured to extract confessions all had weaknesses that he could exploit.

But the demon clan's spies...

That really can kill!

Especially since they have the backing of the demon race, they truly have the power to overturn the table!
His 100% success rate in solving cases was not an advantage there, but rather the foundation for future trouble.

For a moment, Wei Ruhai panicked: "Palace Master, I still want to serve you within the Xingtian Palace..."

"Whether it's the Xingtian Hall or the Yanlu Fortress, aren't we all serving the sect?"

Qi Feng waved his hand: "Besides, this is an order personally issued by the Palace Master, and it cannot be changed."

"This……"

Before Wei Ruhai could say anything more, another hall master pointed out, "Elder Wei, when Li Daozi first joined the true lineage, the sect investigated your nephew Cheng Wanli... but you managed to cover it up later, didn't you?"

"That matter...didn't Yi Daozi personally vouch for it, so it's all in the past?"

Wei Ruhaidao.

"It's over?"

The temple master sneered, "Li Daozi even personally killed Shen Zangxing, and his post as Daozi seems to be the commander of the Flame Furnace Fortress. Don't you understand?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ruhai's pupils constricted sharply.

Yes!

This Li Daozi...

That's truly vengeful!

A small grudge can be held for a lifetime.

The reason we haven't dealt with Cheng Wanli yet is because we haven't found any leverage against him!

Once you seize the opportunity...

Wei Ruhai shivered immediately.

"If I were you, I would quickly put aside my own family for the greater good. That way, things would be a little better once we got to Flameforge."

The temple master kindly advised, "He's just a junior disciple, not a biological nephew. Even if he were a biological nephew or son, you should still uphold the law impartially and punish those who have made mistakes. The sect rules are above all else."

Wei Ruhai thought that after he went to Yanlu Fortress, he would probably have to work under Commander Li Xian. He had previously protected Cheng Wanli, who had offended Li Xian.

Given this Daozi's meticulous and calculating nature, the consequences will be...

Wei Ruhai, a Golden Core cultivator, gasped in shock.

“I…I understand. There were indeed some oversights in the investigation of Cheng Wanli back then…No! Not only Cheng Wanli, but Wang Xiangdong was also overlooked…I will stand guard until the very end before heading to Yanlu Fortress and investigate them thoroughly to uphold the name of the Great Luo Immortal Sect’s criminal law.”

He said emphatically, "We absolutely will not allow someone who framed his fellow disciples to go unpunished!"

The palace master and Qi Feng nodded slightly after hearing this.

Children can be taught.

……

Only tools and reputation should not be entrusted to others.

Li Xian didn't have this understanding, but he felt...

Since it was someone he decided to kill, he felt more at ease doing it himself.

After dealing with Shen Zangxing, Li Xian left Xingtian Hall and headed towards his own mountain peak.

but……

As they made their way to their mountain peaks, they saw figures constantly moving across the Rainbow Bridge.

Furthermore, a large number of martial artists who were flawless and had achieved true enlightenment were continuously sent to mountains such as Jumang, Dijiang, and Zhurong.

Li Xian, who was traveling on his sword, looked at the faces on the Rainbow Bridge...

Slightly dazed.

This year marks the once-every-five-years time for disciples to enter the sect.

Unbeknownst to him, ten years had passed since he came to the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

As Li Xian rode his sword and sized up the new disciples on the Rainbow Bridge, some of those new disciples were also sizing him up.

When they saw that he didn't use the Rainbow Bridge and traveled faster on his sword than they could on it, the disciples were filled with envy and longing: "Who is this person? In the future, I will also be like him, leaving the Rainbow Bridge and using my own strength to fly through the air on my sword, entering and leaving the Azure Sky!"

Some arrogant individuals were also full of fighting spirit: "He can be replaced!"

"Snapped!"

The person who said that got a slap on the back of the head.

A disciple who seemed to recognize Li Xian quickly bowed to him, saying, "Master Li, please forgive us. These newly initiated disciples are ignorant and arrogant..."

"It doesn't matter."

Looking at these people, Li Xian couldn't help but think of his previous life on Earth.

In that world, everyone regarded martial arts training as a joke, and there were no newcomers entering the field.

It is estimated that with the development of technology, martial arts training will become a thing of the past in a few decades or a hundred years.

Unlike this world, where people come one after another.

"Young people should aspire to great heights and strive to become the best in the world."

Li Xian encouraged the person, saying, "Cultivate diligently, and I hope that one day you will stand before me and challenge me."

After saying that, he accelerated on his sword and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight as a streak of light.

"Respectfully seeing off Li Daozi."

The disciple with innate talent immediately bowed respectfully.

Those newly initiated disciples who understood the significance of the title "Daozi" also hurriedly bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off Daozi Li."

Only the disciple who thought "he can be replaced" remained, standing there dumbfounded.

"Dao... Daozi!?"

His eyes were filled with disbelief: "Three cycles of sixty years are required to cultivate the Immortal Golden Elixir, and one is said to live for a thousand years, capable of founding a sect as a Daoist disciple!?"

"Do you now realize how arrogant and ignorant you were when you said those words?"

The disciple with innate talent glanced at him: "Of the hundreds of people in your group, it would be good if one or two of them could eventually establish a foundation for the Dao. And the foundation for the Dao is only the beginning of cultivation. To go further, one must go through five realms: condensing magical power, the five elements converging at the origin, the three flowers gathering at the top, the true essence of the Taiyin, and the true fire of the Taiyang. Only then can one hope to achieve the union of Yin and Yang and cultivate the immortal golden elixir!"

Upon hearing what the disciple of the Innate Realm said, the disciple couldn't help but shrink back.

The strongest member of his family reached the Five Qi Gathering Realm, and through generations of inheritance, the family's population has long exceeded ten thousand.

The population and territory under their jurisdiction are also in the tens of millions. In other words, an ancestor in the Five Qi Convergence Realm can decide the life and death of tens of millions of people with a single word.

If even the Five Qi Gathering Origin Realm is like this, then what about the Golden Core True Person, who is several realms above the Five Qi Gathering Origin Realm...?

He couldn't imagine it.

Even if he could become a servant of a Golden Core cultivator and establish that relationship, his ancestor would be laughing in his sleep.

"To be able to speak with Li Daozi and receive his encouragement..."

The disciple took a deep breath: "This is already the biggest bragging right you have in your entire lives."

Those present, upon hearing what this disciple of the Innate Realm said, rationally told them that what their senior brother said was true, but...

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

Each of them, however, was self-important and kept encouraging themselves in their hearts.

In the future, I will surely become a figure like Li Daozi, cultivate the Golden Elixir, and be revered by hundreds of millions of people.

……

Li Xian flew for a while, but then bypassed the Rainbow Bridge.

At that moment, however, something came to mind.

The red jade seems to be located within Jumang Peak.

Zhou Juechen seemed to want to use that favor on Hongyu.

He's just been too busy lately and forgot about it.

Right now, he needs to change direction.

At this moment, he thought of something else: "Wait, according to Hongyu's age, she is over thirty. If she is still in the Daluo Immortal Sect, she should no longer be on Jumang Peak, but on Zhuzhao Peak."

Lost in thought, Li Xian spoke directly: "Your Excellency Xuanling, I would like to know if there is a disciple named Hongyu in Zhuzhao Peak."

"Have."

Xuanling, who controlled the movements within a radius of 100,000 li of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, responded immediately.

"The Hongyu you are looking for, who is also from the Great Wei region, is currently in courtyard number 1092 in area B north of Zhuzhao Peak. However, her current location is courtyard number 1094. Her location has been marked for you."

"Good work."

Li Xian responded and, in a flash, headed straight for Zhuzhao Peak.

The Great Luo Immortal Sect protects the privacy of its disciples, but this protection is rendered meaningless in the face of Dao Child-level authority.

With the Xuanling mark, even though Li Xian himself was not very familiar with Zhuzhao Peak, he still found the location of Hongyu Courtyard in the first place.

The two courtyards are not far apart.

After Li Xian unleashed his sword light, he sensed Hongyu, located in courtyard number 1094, even before using his divine sense.

The owner of this courtyard was also an inner disciple at the Innate Realm, whose cultivation had reached the point of refining sword energy into qi.

The two are currently practicing swordsmanship.

However, judging from the way the two looked at each other while practicing swordsmanship, it seemed that feelings had already secretly developed between them.

Li Xian observed the area for a while, but did not rush into the courtyard.

After pondering for a while, once the two finished practicing their swordsmanship, he still sent a telepathic message to Hongyu.

Upon receiving the news, Hongyu was slightly taken aback, then quickly left the courtyard and went to a lush, green garden where Li Xian was. "Young Master Li... Young Master Li..."

Upon seeing Li Xian, Hongyu immediately wanted to bow and greet him, but then she seemed to realize that her address was inappropriate and quickly corrected herself: "Li Daozi..."

"No need to be polite, I don't care about such formalities."

As Li Xian spoke, he glanced at Hongyu and said, "I remember that Pavilion Master Tuo Zhong told you to go directly to my True Inheritance Peak to find me. Why didn't you go?"

"I……"

Hongyu hesitated for a moment, then her expression darkened: "I have wasted my cultivation, and disappointed Young Master Li and my master..."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xian thought for a moment and quickly understood: "You've known that person for a long time?"

"Yes."

When Hongyu heard Li Xian's question, a hint of happiness appeared in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by guilt and hesitation: "His name is Murong Ying. We met during a training mission... I was able to cultivate to the Innate Realm thanks to his encouragement and guidance."

Looking at her, Li Xian understood her fear and hesitation.

Zhou Juechen entrusted her with the precious opportunity to cultivate at the Great Luo Immortal Sect, but she was not ambitious and did not devote her time and energy to cultivation. Instead, she was flirting with her senior brother in the sect...

No wonder she felt ashamed to seek help from his True Inheritance Peak.

only……

"Have you made up your mind?"

Li Xiandao asked, "If Master Zhou asks me about something related to you next time, how should I answer?"

"Li Daozi thinks... if I don't seek your help and rely solely on myself, can I really achieve anything on the path of cultivation?"

Red Jade Road.

Li Xian did not speak.

Ruby's talent...

Let alone being comparable to Xiang Yangsheng, he is probably inferior to Qi Liang, Yan Yu, and others.

If she relied on herself, it would already be considered an extraordinary achievement for her to cultivate to the Innate Realm and become an inner disciple, let alone establish a foundation for her Dao.

"Without looking at the sky, one cannot know the vastness of heaven and earth. Not everyone can be a born martial artist like you, Young Master Li. The bigger the stage, the more your unparalleled talent and ability can be displayed."

Hongyu said tactfully, "When I entered the Great Luo Immortal Sect, you were not in the sect, Young Master Li. I couldn't find you. However, the competition and pressure at Jumang Peak of the Great Luo Immortal Sect did not stop because of that. It was during that time that I realized how much worse my talent was compared to those geniuses who could enter the Great Luo Immortal Sect! Even though I was on the verge of death time and time again, I still couldn't catch up with those geniuses..."

Li Xian thought about the time he had spent in the Great Luo Immortal Sect...

Indeed, not long ago.

"It was during that time that I was fortunate enough to meet Murong Ying... It was too difficult to endure alone on Jumang Peak. Only by supporting each other could we make progress together and grow together..."

Hongyu smiled and said, "Fortunately, our mutual encouragement actually helped us grow better. In the end, we survived the most difficult years at Jumang Peak, successfully broke through to the Innate Realm, and arrived at Zhuzhao Peak."

At this point, she added, "I was able to catch up with Brother Ying thanks to his help; otherwise, Young Master Li probably wouldn't have been able to see me on Candlelight Peak."

After listening, Li Xian nodded.

He wouldn't feel guilty for neglecting Hongyu and causing her to struggle on Jumang Peak.

Everyone has their own way.

In truth, the only person one can rely on is oneself.

therefore……

"Since you have made this choice, I will respect it."

Li Xian glanced at her and said, "However, if one day you decide you want to come to my mountain to cultivate, you can contact me."

"Young Master Li!?"

Hongyu was somewhat surprised.

She never expected him to let the matter pass so easily; she had thought he would scold and punish her for her self-destructive choice.

"I've granted you permission to contact me..."

Li Xian continued speaking, but then he realized that he was away from the sect most of the time, and if someone contacted him, he might not see it immediately. So he pushed Nangong Feixu to her again: "If you can't find me, then find Senior Sister Nangong."

He didn't care about Hongyu's thoughts.

The two were only acquaintances, not particularly close.

Hongyu silently appreciated Li Xian's kindness...

After a moment, he lowered his head and said, "Young Master Li... I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize to me. Everyone has their own life on the path of cultivation. Didn't Master Zhou also choose to spread his lineage in the Great Zhou and Great Wei? So, you don't need to apologize to me."

Li Xian calmly said, "I just hope that years from now you won't regret the choice you made today."

Hongyu lowered her head and remained silent.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

Li Xian said something.

Immediately afterwards, he leaped up.

Vicissitudes of life.

Not everyone wants to dedicate their life to immortality.

Not everyone is willing to give up everything for ability.

Especially when the future seems bleak and there's little hope in sight, cutting your losses and enjoying the present moment can be an easy choice.

If he insists on imposing his will on Hongyu, how is that any different from bullying?

……

Li Xian rode the escape light, unhurriedly and quickly arrived at his mountain peak.

Compared to two years ago, the mountain has undergone significant improvements in both environment and formations after the renovation.

Not only is the scenery on the mountain beautiful, but the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth can also increase the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and refining magical power several times over.

The spiritual herbs and plants grown on the mountain, as well as the spiritual birds and beasts cultivated there, grow at a rate far exceeding that of the outside world.

Even some herbs that are difficult to survive in the outside world are cultivated on a large scale.

In time, once these flowers, grasses, birds, and beasts have grown up, they will all become fixed assets of this mountain. At that time, whether they are used for alchemy or weapon crafting, they can save a lot of costs.

"Senior Brother Li, you're back."

Li Xianshang looked around from above the mountain peak, and Nangong Feixu, who had noticed his return, immediately came to greet him.

"Well, I have something to tell you: Shen Zangxing has been executed."

Li Xian looked at her and said, "I promised you I would help you solve this problem, and now I have done it. You will never have to worry about your safety again."

"Shen Zangxing?"

Nangong Feixu was taken aback.

If Li hadn't mentioned this person first, she would have almost forgotten about him.

Then, as if she had just realized something, she asked, "You came back here for this very reason?"

"Yes, I killed Shen Zangxing with my own hands. He's as dead as can be."

Li Xiandao.

Killed him with his own hands!?
Nangong Feixu's heart trembled violently.

Killed him with his own hands!?
How radiant and brilliant is Li Xian now!
He slew Gu Qianfan, the number one rogue cultivator in the world, and intimidated the Holy Son of the Imperial Palace of the Nine Heavens Holy Land!

It is speculated that his strength is no weaker than that of the Eight-Scar Elders in the sect who are on the verge of ascending to immortality.

But Li Xian, with his status and strength, actually went back to his sect to kill Shen Zangxing, a mere nobody?

Just ...

Because of her?

"Senior Brother Li..."

Nangong Feixu looked at Li Xian with somewhat unfocused eyes.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Li Xian felt that she was acting strangely.

This strangeness wasn't unique to him; Nangong Feixu also possessed it.

She opened her mouth, but the strangeness of it all forced her to suppress the surging emotions within her.

She unconsciously turned her gaze away, not daring to look at him anymore.

After a while, he changed the subject: "I wanted to ask you, Senior Brother Li, what do you think of my layout of this mountain peak?"

“Very good. If it were me, I would never have been able to design it to this extent.”

Li Xian sincerely agreed, and at the same time asked, "What is the name of the new mountain peak?"

"We're still waiting for your final decision. We've come up with ten names: Xuan Guang Peak, Fei Xian Peak, Yu Hua Peak..."

"Let's call it Xuan Guang Peak."

Li Xiandao.

After all, it was ranked first.

Nangong Feixu would also like to explain the origins of these ten names.

For example, Xuan Guang Peak refers to black light, and it was used to deal with the black sun phenomenon that occurred when Li Xian unleashed his sword intent.

However, since Li Xian had already made his choice, she naturally didn't say anything more and nodded: "Then Xuan Guang Peak."

She then added, "The 2.2 billion worth of related materials transferred from Dengxian City have been inventoried. Some of the items I thought would be useful were kept, and the rest were converted into merit points, totaling 1.6 billion. It would be too wasteful to leave 1.6 billion merit points lying around, so I used some channels to transfer them out. Over the past two years, I've accumulated a surplus of 140 million..."

With a cost of 1.6 billion, a profit of 140 million can be achieved over two years...

"good."

Mr. Li smiled and said, "As long as the principal is not lost, you can handle all the profits."

"I?"

Nangong Feixu was taken aback, then looked astonished: "One hundred and forty million?"

A fifth-level true disciple is considered lucky to earn a few million merit points a year.

140 million in two years, that's 70 million per year on average!

This kind of benefit...

Even the Refining Spirit Elders would be envious.

"No, this is too much, I can't accept it..."

"This is what you deserve."

Li interrupted her, saying, "I have already cultivated to the Golden Core stage. In the future, my tribulation and ascension to the Immortal Realm will be a foregone conclusion. It's just a matter of whether I become an immortal through my primordial spirit or through my physical body."

He glanced at Nangong Feixu and said, "I hope that in the future, when I enjoy a lifespan of ten thousand years, or even one hundred thousand years, you will still be on Xuan Guang Peak, helping me to manage Xuan Guang Peak in an orderly manner."

Li Xian's words immediately silenced Nangong Feixu's words.

At that moment, she finally realized something.

Why……

She had often given very obvious hints, and Li Xian had given some response, but there was always a certain distance between them.

At first, she thought she might be just imagining things, but now she realizes...

It's clear that Mr. Li had reservations.

If he can't keep up with Li Xian, four hundred years later, she will be old and frail, while Li Xian will still be full of vigor and peerless.

If these two people were to actually get together...

It must be torture for both of them.

With this annual revenue of 70 million...

She has a good chance of mastering the True Fire of the Sun within the next sixty years, and even condensing an Immortal Golden Core by taking advantage of the opportunity at Ascension Peak.

"I see."

Nangong Feixu looked at Li Xian and replied emphatically.

At the same time, she silently recited it in her heart.

"If one day I truly can't keep up with you at all, or even see your shadow clearly, I will leave."

　As the title suggests, it's a mundane daily life chapter, but friends, rest assured, there won't be too much of this kind of irrelevant plot.
