Invincible!

Chapter 242 Bait
One of the nine great immortal sects, Tianyuan Sect.

There was no Tianyuan Sect in the world, but the Daoist Tianyuan attained enlightenment at Tianyuan Mountain. He taught without discrimination, and anyone with affinity, whether immortal, demon, monster, Buddha, spirit, or ghost, could enter to listen to the teachings, comprehend the wondrous methods, and even learn the supreme Tianyuan techniques.

Inspired by the great achievements of Tianyuan Daoren, some people began to identify themselves as disciples of Tianyuan, which gradually evolved into the Tianyuan Sect.

Since the ascension of the Dragon-Controlling Sect's patriarch 100,000 years ago, the Nine Heavens Holy Land has been the sole dominant force.

The intention is to take the Central Heaven as the core, establish eight outer heavens, and completely incorporate the eight major immortal sects into the Nine Heavens system, thus unifying the Great World of True Immortals.

The domineering act attracted the attention of Daoist Tianyuan, who blocked the Nine Heavens Holy Land for three years. The nine Holy Lords tried everything they could, but to no avail. So they stopped and settled down in the Central Continent to wait for the right time.

After this battle, Tianyuan Daoren was also revered as the number one expert in the True Immortal Great World.

At this moment, on the Enlightenment Platform where Tianyuan Daoist attained enlightenment, a dozen young talents were meditating and comprehending the Dao before the Tianyuan Jade Wall, which was engraved with the profound mysteries of Tianyuan Technique.

The Heavenly Origin Technique is known as the beginning of all things, the source of all laws, and contains all the changes of the Great Dao in the world.

Anyone can verify what they have learned in front of the Heavenly Jade Wall.

Yi Yuanshi, who is known as the head of the Daoist disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect and ranks among the top young talents in the entire True Immortal Great World, is no exception.

After some contemplation, he slowly finished his practice, and judging from his appearance, he had clearly benefited greatly.

Just as he finished his cultivation, Chu Jinghong, a Daoist disciple of Yaoyang Immortal Sect who was on good terms with him, approached him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, it seems you have gained a lot from this enlightenment."

"I have indeed gained some new understanding of order and life."

As Yi Yuanshi spoke, he glanced at Chu Jinghong and asked, "Why did you end your cultivation so soon?"

“My comprehension is not as good as yours, so I cannot immerse myself in the Heavenly Origin Jade Wall for a long time. Rather than forcing myself to comprehend it, I should adjust my mindset.”

Chu Jinghong was quite open-minded.

Yi Yuanshi listened and nodded slightly.

"Speaking of which, I finished my cultivation a few months earlier than you, and I even went out for a trip. What I found there was quite a surprise. Recently, it has become a big news story."

As Chu Jinghong spoke, she glanced at Yi Yuanshi and said, "And this news is more or less related to you."

"I?"

Yi Yuanshi was somewhat surprised: "What is it?"

"Do you know that boy who once wanted to make a ten-year promise with you outside the Immortal Island in the Falling Star Sea?"

“Li Xian? Of course I remember him.”

Yi Yuanshi said, "There is a junior brother who is just like me, unparalleled in the world. Our sect leader Lu values ​​him highly and intends to cultivate him as a key talent."

At this point, he smiled and said, "I remember before I went into seclusion, he had already made a great name for himself, such as being able to fight against a thousand men single-handedly and being invincible in the sixth realm. Later, he even broke through to the Golden Core realm and went to the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals... Could it be that he accomplished something great again?"

"Heh, you can still laugh?"

Chu Jinghong didn't keep him in suspense and said directly, "Just two years ago, he was ambushed in Dengxian City by Gu Qianfan, the True Monarch who created the Black Wind Dharma Form. As a result, not only was he unharmed, but he also killed the number one rogue cultivator in the world who had once suppressed a True Monarch by relying on his perfected sword intent and supreme techniques! He became famous throughout the world in one battle, and outsiders estimated that he probably already had the strength of an Eight-Scar True Monarch!"

"Eight Marks True Monarch?"

Yi Yuanshi was slightly taken aback, and then his eyes couldn't help but show surprise: "Li Xian!? Eight-Scar True Monarch!?"

"good."

"As far as I remember, he has been cultivating for a very short time, less than sixty years!? In just sixty years, he has already advanced to this level!?"

"Less than sixty years..."

Upon hearing Yi Yuanshi's words, Chu Jinghong realized that he had also thought of this point and was suddenly alarmed.

In less than sixty years, he reached a level comparable to the Eight Marks True Lord...

This rate of growth is outstanding, even among the self-proclaimed peerless geniuses of various sects.

Even though Chu Jinghong himself is one of the top Daoist figures in the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, he wouldn't dare say he's stronger than Li Xian.

"Really..."

He felt a chill run down his spine.

But then he seemed to realize something: "Wait, wasn't I talking about you?"

He turned his gaze to Yi Yuanshi: "When he challenged you, he seemed to be only at the fourth or fifth realm? There are still two or three years until the day of the challenge? In just seven or eight years, he has broken through realms one after another and is already comparable to the Eight-Mark True Monarch. If he cultivates for another two or three years, or obtains some opportunity, wouldn't he reach the ninth or even tenth mark?"

A smile played on the lips of the Daoist disciple from the Yaoyang Immortal Sect: "Old Yi, I'll just ask you one question: are you afraid?"

"afraid?"

Yi Yuanshi glanced at Chu Jinghong.

Then he laughed: "Why should I be afraid?"

"Ok?"

"I am not only unafraid that such a prodigy, who stands out among all the peerless masters of the past, has emerged from among the disciples of my Great Luo Immortal Sect! I am genuinely happy for him! I am overjoyed that such a genius has been born into my Great Luo Immortal Sect!"

Yi Yuanshi smiled and said, "After the ten-year agreement expires, it is my good fortune to be able to clash with such a prodigy and embark on the path to immortality together, and it is also the good fortune of my Great Luo Immortal Sect!"

"you……"

Chu Jinghong was somewhat surprised to see the genuine smile on Yi Yuanshi's face, which was clearly from the heart and showed no sign of being fake.

However, he and Yi Yuanshi fought side by side in the Endless Sea for more than a decade, battling demonic beasts, and thus had a good understanding of each other's personalities.

Yi Yuanshi...

He is definitely not the kind of person who is jealous of talent.

He just didn't expect that when Li Xian grew to the point where he could truly threaten him, he would still be able to remain so magnanimous.

"You are the chief Daoist of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, the senior brother in the hearts of all the disciples. If you can transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality in the future, you will succeed Lu Linyuan, the sect master of the Great Luo Immortal Sect. With the appearance of Li Xian, your positions as chief Daoist, senior brother, and young sect master have all become precarious. Aren't you worried at all?"

Chu Jinghong couldn't help but ask a question.

Yi Yuanshi shook his head.

He didn't say anything about that.

No matter how much I say, not everyone will believe me. However…

Yi Yuanshi smiled and said, "You are right about one thing. Judging from the speed at which my junior brother Li is growing, he may be able to cultivate to the level of a Nine-Trace or even a Ten-Trace Heavenly Lord in two or three years. Of course, based on my understanding this time, even if he cultivates to the level of a Heavenly Lord, I may not be afraid of him... But if we extend the time scale to a hundred or a thousand years... he may really be able to surpass me later."

"You actually admitted it!?"

Chu Jinghong looked at Yi Yuanshi.

This chief Daoist of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, an unparalleled genius, actually believes he will be inferior to Li Xian a thousand years from now!?
“There are many talented people in the world, and I am not necessarily the only one who stands out.”

Yi Yuanshi readily admitted, while a smile played on his lips: "So, you should beat up your junior brother as early as possible, otherwise you might not have the chance later."

A hint of longing flashed in the eyes of this peerless master who had held the position of chief Daoist of the Great Luo Immortal Sect for sixty years: "I will definitely go all out in that duel. Although I am much older than him, I think... it will definitely be a thrilling duel."

Chu Jinghong looked at him...

Speechless for a moment.

After a long pause, he spoke again: "When you two finally have your showdown, be sure to call me. I want to be there to watch."

"it is good."

Yi Yuanshi nodded, then turned his gaze to the Tianyuan Jade Wall: "We need to keep working harder. I'll accept losing after a thousand years, but if I, as the senior brother, am still inferior in the battle two or three years from now, it would be too embarrassing."

After saying that, he once again focused his mind and immersed himself in the Heavenly Origin Jade Wall.

……

Spurred by the news brought by Chu Jinghong, Yi Yuanshi responded cautiously, while the main character in their conversation...

After spending half a month on his Xuan Guang Peak, Li Xian boarded the celestial boat bound for Youxian Island.

The distance between the Great Luo Immortal Sect and Youxian Island is more than three million miles in a straight line. Even the faster patrol warships would take ten days to half a month to fly there. The celestial ships that transport supplies do not travel in a straight line and need to replenish supplies for various fiefdoms along the way, which would take one or two months, and even three or four months for the slower ones.

However, Li Xian's purpose this time was to act as bait to lure the Xuan Du Lord of the Wuxiang Demon Sect to attack.

Therefore, he deliberately took a celestial boat, which was crowded and easy for others to spot, and headed slowly towards Youxian Island.

While riding the flying boat, he refined various rare and precious materials, pushing his Floating Dawn True Body to the eighth level at full speed.

At the same time that Li Xian set off in this way, far away at the intersection of the Endless Sea and the Falling Star Sea, three figures gathered together.

"You guess that those dragon whales were deliberately brought here by the Great Luo Immortal Sect?"

At this moment, the one speaking is the renowned Xuan Du Master of the Wuxiang Demon Sect, who once rendered even a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Wuji Star Palace helpless in his attempt to capture him.

"good."

The other person was bathed in a faint divine light: "I think you all have no doubt about the methods of our divine race's infiltration. This news is absolutely true. The dragon whale itself is a lure used to lure the True Monarchs of the Demonic Sect who are unable to transcend their tribulations due to their inner demons, and to use these True Monarchs as whetstones for the geniuses of their Great Luo Immortal Sect. True Monarch Xuandu just happened to be there."

"The Sharpening Stone of the Prodigy?"

The Lord of Xuandu knew the tricks of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Among the nine great immortal sects, the Great Luo Immortal Sect is the one most fond of playing these fancy tricks.

He immediately snorted coldly: "Using me as a whetstone? Who is it! Yi Yuanshi? He's about to undergo his tribulation, is he preparing for his final assault on the lightning tribulation?"

"It is not Yi Yuanshi."

The figure bathed in divine light said calmly, "Originally, I was guessing whether it was one of Lin Taichu or Xiao Qianjie, but when a Daoist whose whereabouts are always elusive suddenly appeared openly and brazenly, heading straight for the Endless Sea as if afraid that others would not know, my guess has been confirmed."

"Who?"

The Lord of Xuandu inquired.

"Li Xian."

This powerful member of the divine race did not hide anything.

"he?"

The Lord of Xuandu was naturally aware of this newly emerged legend who had killed Gu Qianfan, the number one rogue cultivator in the world.

With Gu Qianfan's abilities...

He would have to use some methods to kill him.

Li Xian killed him, which shows that he was indeed a considerable threat.

but……

“Gu Qianfan is Gu Qianfan, and I am me. If he dares to come, I am confident that I can kill him.”

The Lord of Xuandu said confidently.

"We are confident in killing him, but we are not 100% certain. With Li Xian's talent, if we fail to kill him this time, he might transcend tribulation and become an immortal in ten or eight years. At that time... the Great Luo Immortal Sect will have another immortal powerhouse!"

"This powerful member of the divine race said in a deep voice."

"Your Twilight Divine Court and the Ancient Temple of Annihilation sent you here at this time..."

"It is so that we can join forces with True Lord Xuandu to kill this boy!"

"This powerful member of the divine race said in a deep voice."

Another bald man, who had not spoken until now, also uttered a Buddhist chant with a sorrowful expression.

"My Buddha is compassionate!"

"The three of us, ganging up on and killing a mere junior like Li Xian?"

Xuandu looked at the two powerful figures.

Each of them was a notorious and ruthless man...

"Isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill?"

"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; only by joining forces can we ensure absolute success."

"Very well, then so be it."
