Chapter 243 Discovery
Visit the Fairy Island.

The Great Luo Immortal Sect's celestial vessel slowly descended upon this large island, known as the bustling center of the Fallen Star Sea.

Besides Qin Yi, the Elder Ling Kong, who was in charge of overseeing the event, was also responsible for welcoming them.

"Li Daozi".

Ling Kong greeted him with a smile: "Originally, when Daozi came here, I would have immediately arranged for a warship to go to Yanlu Fortress for you. However, recently, the Endless Sea Demon Clan has been making trouble, and we cannot spare a warship for the time being. I will trouble Daozi to rest here for a few days. After the warship arrives, I will lead you there together."

Li Xian knew that this was just to keep him there for a few more days so that the Xuan Du Demon Lord of the Wu Xiang Demon Sect could receive the message smoothly.

“Alright, my cultivation has come to an end for a while, so I’ll take a stroll around Youxian Island and relax.”

Li Xian calmly agreed.

"Alright, let Xiao Qin follow you and take orders."

Ling Kong replied, "Although there's nothing particularly good on Youxian Island, some of the marine products are quite unique. Li Daozi, take a look around and see if there's anything you like. You can take it back as decorations for Daozi Peak."

Li nodded.

He has visited the fairy island many times, but he has never really explored it thoroughly before.

The entire Youxian Island originally had three major cities: Danxia Immortal City, Yunxi Immortal City, and Wanxiang Immortal City.

The closest one is naturally Danxia Fairy City.

Under Qin Yi's guidance, Li Xian entered this immortal city.

The scale and shops of the Immortal City are naturally incomparable to those of the Ascending Immortal City.

The quality of cultivators traveling to and from the Immortal City is lower than that of those who ascend to the Immortal City.

Let alone Golden Core Realm True Persons, even Great Cultivators of True Essence Realm and True Fire Realm are extremely rare.

Occasionally, a few high-profile and flamboyant figures would appear, either as cultivators at the third or fourth level of cultivation, or as junior disciples of a cultivator at the fifth or sixth level.

But just as Elder Lingkong said, as a fairy city on the sea, it does have quite a few local specialties.

Li Xian strolled around the city at his leisure. Although it was to show off, he was also to experience the daily life of a low-level cultivator.

"Danxia Immortal City is at this level, so naturally there won't be any rare treasures. However, if Senior Brother Li wants to buy some novel items, I do know a unique shop that occasionally gives away some interesting trinkets."

Qin Yi whispered a suggestion from the side.

"Oh, then let's go take a look."

Li Xian said something.

The two walked for a while and soon stopped in front of a shop in a not-so-good but rather spacious location.

However, just as the two were about to enter the store, they were stopped by a middle-aged man at the door who had the cultivation level of the Five Qi Gathering Realm: "Sorry, our store has been booked by a distinguished guest today. Please come back another day."

These words immediately made Qin Yi's expression turn sour.

"Noble?"

His expression turned cold, and he raised his sleeve, revealing the insignia of a core elder of the Great Luo Immortal Sect: "In a small Danxia City, what kind of noble person could be more distinguished than us?"

The middle-aged man's pupils constricted when he saw the emblem on the man's cuff, and he stammered in panic, "It's actually an elder from the Immortal Sect in person... Elder, please forgive me, I... I'll go and report to Miss right away..."

Qin Yi gave a soft snort.

At this moment, Li Xian seemed to see something, and slightly changed direction, heading straight for another shop not far away.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, then ignored the middle-aged man and quickly followed Li Xian.

After Li Xian entered the shop, a woman immediately came out to greet him. Seeing Li Xian's extraordinary demeanor, she dared not be disrespectful and accompanied him to the side.

And Mr. Li...

However, they arrived in front of a precious sword that had reached the level of a magical artifact.

"Give me this."

At the same time, he also activated his divine sense and stimulated the spirituality of the Spirit Ruins: "Take a look, is this a part of you?"

result……

no response.

"Look, the pattern on this is quite similar to the pattern on your part."

Li Xian released a wisp of divine sense once more.

Even though Lingxu was trying to hide it, he couldn't help but let out a tiny bit of spiritual energy: "Don't rush me! No! My lack of response proves it's not true! Your Great Luo Immortal Sect's mirror spirit has an avatar! If I rashly reply, there's a risk of it discovering me! Don't expose me!"

After it finished speaking, its faint spirituality completely ceased.

Seeing this, Li Xian was somewhat disappointed, but also felt it was reasonable.

They've visited Youxian Island more than once or twice; if there were really components of the Spirit Ruins on the island, they would have made a fuss about it long ago.

Although it wasn't what he wanted to search for, Li Xian was somewhat interested in this magical sword.

Noticing Li Xian's interest, a staff member nearby enthusiastically explained, "Although this is an ordinary magical artifact, it was crafted using many precious materials..."

Li Xian glanced at the price of the magical artifacts.

Eight thousand taels of pure gold.

It's a bit pricey.

but……

"Who crafted this magical artifact? Could you please introduce me?"

Li asked first.

"Uh... we sourced these magical artifacts from the renowned artifact-refining master, Master Xinyan, in the Fallen Star Sea. However, we don't have a particularly close relationship with Master Xinyan; we only signed a purchase contract. I'm afraid we're not qualified to introduce him to you, senior..."

"Master Xinyan..."

Mr. Li was somewhat unfamiliar with this name.

He vaguely remembered the renowned figures from Falling Star Sea, but this person…

"He is the island lord of the Earth Core Island, also known as the Heart Flame Master, a True Fire Realm cultivator who is extremely skilled in weapon crafting."

Qin Yi immediately stepped in to explain, "If Senior Brother Li wants to see him, I'll have someone summon him right away."

A True Fire Realm cultivator?
Li Xian suddenly realized.

No wonder he didn't remember this person.

True Essence Realm and True Fire Realm cultivators can also be respected as Lesser True Persons.

Out of respect, ordinary people will omit the word "ordinary," just as people automatically omit the word "deputy" before titles like deputy city lord, deputy temple lord, and deputy sect leader.

How far is the island in the center of the earth from here?

Li asked first.

"Eighteen thousand li."

"Then let's go take a look."

Li Xiandao said at the same time, "I want this magic artifact."

After speaking, he scanned the storage ring with his divine sense.

But after only a moment, he frowned.

Finally, in a corner, he took out a piece of refined gold: "I don't have any pure gold on me, so I'll use this as payment for now?"

"Refined gold!?"

The staff member, whose cultivation level was as high as the Innate Realm, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This shout immediately drew the attention of the few customers in the shop.

Their gazes fell upon the refined gold, their eyes filled with either greed or longing.

One unit of refined gold can be exchanged for 100,000 taels of pure gold!

This is equivalent to the income of many independent cultivators who have reached the Foundation Stage of Dao in eight to ten years!
After exclaiming in surprise, the staff member panicked and hurriedly said, "Distinguished guests, our humble establishment has failed to welcome you properly... Please follow me to the VIP room..."

"No need, let's complete the transaction as soon as possible."

Li shook his head.

He was only interested in the patterns on the sword...

Or perhaps they are simply interested in the era represented by these patterns, and the relationship between this era and Lingxu.

This magical artifact is of no use to him.

“This… refined gold is usually only used for large transactions… I don’t have the authority to collect it… I’ll go and inform the master right away…”

the staff member said.

Upon seeing this, Qin Yi quickly said, "Senior Brother Li, I have some pure gold here. Shall I pay for you first?"

"can."

Li Xian nodded slightly, then handed the piece of refined gold to him: "Here you go."

"This……"

Qin Yi hesitated for a moment, but quickly and happily agreed: "Thank you, Senior Brother Li."

This brief exchange between the two sent a chill down the spines of some of the greedy people around them.

The fact that such a precious treasure, worth 100,000 taels of pure gold, was given away so easily speaks volumes about the person's noble status.

To avoid running into a brick wall, they naturally dared not make any rash moves.

After completing the payment, Li Xian accepted the magical artifact and said to Qin Yi, "I'm going to the Earth's Core Island. You don't need to come with me."

Qin Yi knew that his escape technique would only be a burden if he followed, so he bowed and replied, "Yes."

At that moment, Li stepped out of the door and soared into the sky at an incredible speed.

After soaring thousands of meters into the sky, his speed suddenly increased, and with a series of roars, the clouds above his head were torn apart by the light, creating a huge hole.

Such an astonishing scene was rarely seen even in Danxia Immortal City, leaving everyone in the audience dumbfounded.

At the same time, a group of several people arrived quickly.

The leaders were a young man and a woman.

When one of the young men, who possessed the cultivation level of the Magic Realm, saw Qin Yi in the shop, his pupils shrank drastically, and he quickly bowed and greeted, "Junior Zhou Long greets Senior Qin."

"Zhou Long?"

Qin Yi frowned.

“My ancestor Zhou Chi, six years ago on your two hundredth birthday, I was fortunate enough to accompany you outside and ask for a cup of wine.”

"Zhou Chi?"

Qin Yi remembered this person.

An elder of the Danxia Sect at the True Essence Realm.

Although both are at the True Essence Realm, Zhou Chi didn't even qualify as an external elder of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, let alone a core elder like him.

"Ah."

Qin Yi sneered: "I thought he was the offspring of the Pill Cauldron True Man, or his personal disciple... A descendant of a Fifth Realm Elder can actually clear the street and shut down shops, what a show of power."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Long's face turned deathly pale.

"Elder Qin, this is a misunderstanding. It was my Daoist partner... no, it was this woman who took it upon herself to close the shop... Elder, if you have your eye on anything in that shop of curiosities, just say the word, and I will fetch it for you immediately..."

"No need."

Qin Yi flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

"Elder Qin..."

Zhou Long hurriedly followed after him in a panic.

The Zhou family is a prominent clan in the Danxia Sect, with no fewer than a thousand cultivators. There are quite a few at the same level of magic power as him. He was only young and had reached the level of magic power in just sixty years of cultivation. That's why he was fortunate enough to be taken by his ancestor to attend the birthday banquet of this elder of the Great Luo Immortal Sect six years ago!

If Elder Qin were to casually utter a single word in front of the Zhou family patriarch, he would undoubtedly be relegated to obscurity.

The best outcome would be a period of confinement, after which they would never be able to enjoy any cultivation resources again.

Thinking of this, Zhou Long pushed aside the girl beside him and chased after her even faster: "Elder Qin, this is really a misunderstanding... I'm not familiar with that woman..."

...On the other side, Li Xian soared straight into the sky.

Once it reaches a sufficiently high altitude, the Great Perfection Void Dao Body can easily detect the ubiquitous ripples in the void.

Immediately afterwards...

The Void Sword Escape, which incorporates the properties of void teleportation, instantly traverses nine thousand miles!

After completing the nine thousand li traverse, he sensed the void once more...

Another Void Sword Escape.

Eighteen thousand li, in just two breaths, the island in the center of the earth was already close at hand.

He suppressed the sword light and headed straight for the island.

As the sword light, as if plunging from the heavens to the underworld, tore through the sky, not a single one of the several groups of cultivators patrolling the island dared to step forward to stop it.

When Li Xian stopped above the central building, the island lord of the Earth Core Island, the renowned weapon-refining master Xin Yan Shangren, who was famous in the Falling Star Sea area, came out to greet him.

"I wonder which esteemed person graces us with their presence; this humble old man has been greatly disappointed..."

Master Xinyan greeted him with a cupped-hand salute.

But when he truly saw Li Xian's gaze, he couldn't help but shudder. His previously reserved posture instantly bent low: "It's actually the newly promoted True Monarch Li from the Great Luo Immortal Sect in person? With the arrival of a True Monarch, my Earth Core Island is truly filled with the fragrance of orchids, and my humble abode is filled with glory..."

“Master Xinyan, there’s no need for you to be so polite. I have come here to ask you something.”

Li Xiandao.

"Before Li Zhenjun, I dare not accept the title of 'Supreme Person'; you may simply call me Xinyan."

Master Xinyan gestured with his hand, leading Li Xian into the hall, while bowing and replying, "True Lord, please feel free to ask me anything. As long as I, Xinyan, know the answer, I will answer it without reservation."

Li Xian entered the hall and took out the newly purchased magical artifact: "Is this something you forged?"

Master Xinyan took it and glanced at it, feeling somewhat embarrassed: "Although this magic weapon is sold under my name, it was not made by me personally... It should be the work of one of my disciples. I will have them come and give me an answer."

“I am very interested in the materials used in this ritual implement, so please have them bring the materials with you.”

Li Xiandao.

Master Xinyan quickly agreed.

Soon, several people were summoned, along with a number of artifacts that exuded an air of decay and antiquity.

“True Lord Li, these magical artifacts were forged by my disciples, and these are the materials they used.”

Master Xinyan said, "These materials have been eroded by at least a million years. No matter how high their original quality was, they are now rotten and can only be used to refine magical artifacts... These few were also obtained as scrap materials for refining artifacts from a rogue cultivator who concealed his identity..."

"Millions of years."

Li Xian reached out, and these ancient artifacts, imbued with the aura of time, fell into his hands.

He glanced at them and could clearly see the marks of time eroding these utensils.

as well as……

It's no longer clearly visible, but traces of civilization are still faintly discernible.

"Lingxu, do you recognize the patterns, or rather, the characters, on this?"

Li asked first.

“I… I should recognize them, but… for some reason, I can’t identify them. The only thing I’m sure of is that these things must come from the same era as me.”

Despite being outside Xuanling's sphere of influence, it responded immediately.

"The same era".

Li Xian looked at these tools.

Something from a million years ago...

Can the spirit of a celestial artifact possess a lifespan of a million years?

Even if one could possess it, there would inevitably be certain prerequisites.

Lingxu...

Has it truly lived for millions of years, or did it suddenly develop consciousness in recent years and become a spirit...?

Some things are hard to say.

However, Li Xian's mind has already slightly leaned towards the latter.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why it has so little "memory".

"You say your master is exceptionally beautiful. In her time, she must have been a supreme immortal renowned throughout the world. I'll take these things and ask Xuanling about the era you belong to. Perhaps we can find out your master's identity and, based on her identity, figure out your true form. Once we know your true form, finding your identity components will be much easier."

Li Xiandao.

"Find Xuanling..."

Lingxu strongly resisted: "Can't we investigate on our own?"

"Don't you want to find the other parts as soon as possible?"

"You don't know what it means when a spirit encounters another spirit... It's like in a forest, there can only be one king, and the weak will be devoured by the strong."

Lingxu said, "This is why artifact spirits are so rare in the world."

After listening, Li Xian remained silent for a moment, then said, "Fine, if you're not in a hurry, then let's investigate slowly."

At this moment, Master Xinyan, who was accompanying him, seemed to have received some news. He glanced at Li Xian, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "True Lord Li, there happens to be a true disciple of your sect visiting on Earth Core Island. After learning of your arrival, he wanted to meet you and said that he knew you."

"know me?"

Li Xian was somewhat surprised, but after a moment, he said, "Then let them come."

Then, he pulled out another piece of refined gold: "I'll buy these materials."

"Li Zhenjun, you're too kind. It's an honor for these materials that you would consider them..."

Master Xinyan quickly replied.

Li Xian showed no intention of taking back the refined gold.

Soon, two figures arrived in haste.

One of the men...

Li Xian did look somewhat familiar.

"You are……"

"Li Daozi, it's me, Xiao Ren."

The man quickly stepped forward and introduced himself: "Ren Shanhe".

"Oh."

Li remembered it.

One of the most outstanding disciples of that year, including Zhong Xiuling and Shen Chenzhou.

Well, considering that he cultivated to the level of magic power in less than two cycles of sixty years, he is indeed outstanding.

In the future, he may even achieve the Five Elements Gathering at the Origin, or even the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, and advance to the position of Inner Sect Elder.

However, compared to him, Li Xian still glanced at the other person traveling with him.

"Wei Ming greets Senior Brother Li."

The man bowed in greeting.

His cultivation level was significantly higher than Ren Shanhe's, and he had clearly reached the point of mastering true essence.

However, it seems that he has only recently made a breakthrough.

"Wei Ming?"

As Li Xian read the name, something came to mind: "The Great Wei Dynasty?"

"The Wei family of the Great Wei Dynasty has indeed grown and developed with my support."

Wei Ming appeared quite respectful, and then solemnly said, "Li Daozi, I have something important to tell you."

"Oh? You said."

Li responded.

Wei Ming glanced at Master Xinyan beside him first: "Please excuse me, Master. I have important matters to discuss with Li Daozi."

Please ask the host to leave the house.

This is impolite.

However, Venerable Heartflame, who possessed the True Fire of the Six Realms, dared not have any objections.

After all, standing in front of him was a true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

"Haha, let Wei Zhenchuan and Li Daozi chat for a while. I'll just have a few disciples and I look around to see if we can find some more antiques for Li Daozi."

The venerable master laughed heartily and soon led his disciples away one by one.

After they left, Wei Ming took out an array plate, activated it, and quickly isolated a several-dozen-meter area centered on the three of them.

After carefully completing these arrangements, he solemnly said, "Li Daozi, half a year ago I had a fortuitous opportunity to search for a water palace in the Falling Star Sea and the outer sea. When I found the water palace, I also happened to see two imposing beams of light sweeping across the void one after the other... One of them was radiant with divine light, and seemed to be a top expert of the God Clan. The other was even more terrifying with demonic flames."

The disciple's eyes held an uncontrollable look of terror: "I have only seen such overwhelming demonic flames twenty-six years ago, when Yi Daozi fought against Luo Hou, the divine son of the Supreme Demonic Sect!"

"Rahu?"

Li Xian had also heard of this name.

In the world of True Immortals, there is actually something similar to the Dao Realm Supreme Ranking.

There are many lists, some listing ten people, some listing thirty-six people, and others listing one hundred or one hundred and eight people.

No matter which list it is, this Demon Lord Rahu will inevitably be on it.

In particular, the most prestigious list of immortals, the first one, lists thirty-six supreme experts at the Dao Realm.

Of the thirty-six spots on this list, the Nine Heavens Holy Land occupied seventeen, while the remaining nineteen were divided among the other eight Immortal Sects, four Immortal Dynasties, six Demonic Sects, Twilight Divine Court, and Silent Ancient Temple.

Only two people from the Great Luo Immortal Sect made the list: Shadow Sword Immortal and Yi Daozi.

Of the six major demonic sects, only one was listed: the Demon Lord Rahu.

Moreover, his ranking far surpassed that of the thirteenth-ranked Shadow Sword Immortal, breaking into the top five and ranking fourth!
This is a powerful being who, if not for being hindered by inner demons, would most likely have been able to directly undergo the tribulation in his physical body, cultivate into a human immortal, and even have the potential to become a true immortal in the future.

"You mean, you saw this Demon Lord in the Endless Sea?"

Li Xian's eyes lit up.

The most prestigious list of immortals ranks fourth...

Their strength is undeniable.

"No... it's just that person's aura is very strong... so strong that I can only use this person's aura as a metaphor..."

As Wei Ming spoke, he added, "Moreover, they weren't acting alone; they were accompanied by a powerful expert from the Divine Race whose aura was not much weaker than his... Why would such a powerful figure appear at the same time on the edge of the Falling Star Sea and the Endless Sea? The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel; they're probably planning something big."

At this point, he became solemn: "Therefore, I didn't bother searching the Water Mansion and took a detour back, just to get to Youxian Island as soon as possible and report this news to the sect. However, after seeing your escape light, Li Daozi, I think it would be easier for the sect to pay attention if you reported to them."

"simile……"

Li Xian pondered for a moment.

Perhaps the aura he sensed was not that of the Demon Lord Rahu, but rather that of his target—the Demon Lord Xuandu, who was so powerful that there was no difference between the five realms of true essence.

But, besides Xuandu, there are actually other experts!?
It seems that his unusually proactive appearance made the people of the Wuxiang Demon Sect realize something, or rather, they saw through their bait plan, so they simply turned the tables on him.

But that's not the point. The point is...

Two top-tier experts!?
Where did you find them? When did you find them?

"It was discovered yesterday."

As Wei Ming spoke, he quickly conjured up a coordinate: "The location is here."

After glancing at it, Li Xian said without hesitation, "Go to Youxian Island and report to your superiors. Whether I capture that demonic cultivator or not, you will get a share of the credit."

Having said that, he was no longer willing to leisurely stroll around Youxian Island. He eagerly took to the air and headed straight for the coordinates given by Wei Ming.
