Invincible!

Chapter 249 Boundless Immortal Dynasty
As the bridgehead for the Great Luo Immortal Sect to directly confront the Endless Sea Demon Clan, the Flame Furnace Fortress is naturally equipped with top-notch features.

Not only are there many powerful individuals, but they also store up a considerable number of rare and precious natural treasures.

When Li Xian arrived at the Cultivation Department, an Elder of the Divine Refinement Sect had already prepared a storage ring and handed it to him.

The elder's hand was still trembling slightly as he handed him the ring.

Clearly, the items inside are far too valuable; even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford to compensate for any loss.

Li Xian glanced at it and felt somewhat relieved: "Now I have the cultivation resources for the Floating Dawn True Body and the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi. I can finally catch up with the top True Monarchs in terms of magical skills."

After taking inventory of the supplies, Li Xian left the procurement department, where Xie Cangyun greeted him.

"Li Daozi, are you leaving already?"

"Yes, I plan to set off directly for the Boundless Immortal Dynasty."

"I happen to have an escort mission as well, so I'll go with you."

Xie Cangyun said.

Li Xian glanced at him, but quickly realized something: "This escort mission, could it be me?"

"Haha, isn't that because the Endless Sea is within the sect's territory?"

"It's alright. You should know my sword-riding speed. I can get there myself."

"That's fine."

Xie Cangyun pondered for a moment, but did not insist: "I look forward to fighting side by side with you in the Endless Sea after you have survived the tribulation."

"it is good."

Li responded.

He chose a direction and soared straight into the sky.

Upon reaching sufficient height, he glanced back at the fortress…

Compared to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, and even the Falling Star Sea, this is the true core of the war.

This can be seen from the murderous aura and bloodlust that almost every cultivator possesses.

"The Endless Sea".

He looked up, his gaze fixed on the depths of the sea.

Endless as far as the eye can see.

"I wonder what kind of strange and unique demons are hidden inside. It's really something to look forward to."

Li said in a low voice.

But for now...

He has more important things to do.

Rahu, the Demon Lord.

"Promote the Boundless Immortal Dynasty's Supreme Ranking, make a stir in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, and become famous... plus, there's the peerless genius Chu Yunji here... I'm not afraid you won't come."

"call out!"

His figure transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Falling Star Sea.

However, almost exactly ten thousand miles after Li Xian left the Flame Furnace Fortress, a spiritual fluctuation suddenly came.

"Were you just talking about the Purple Cloud Palace?"

It is Lingxu.

Li Xian sensed this spiritual fluctuation...

Lingxu, who used to be quite talkative, suddenly matured after obtaining that component and became much quieter, which gave Li Xian a rare moment of peace.

Since he spoke less, he would respond to the questions that occasionally popped up: "It's the Zixiao Dao Palace, you know it?"

"I know, and there's a connection between us."

The spiritual energy of the spirit trembled slightly: "My master... the method she cultivates seems to be related to the Zixiao Dao Palace."

"You mean, she also once ruled the Zixiao Dao Palace?"

“I don’t know, but your sect leader is right about one thing: since this Dao Palace is related to my master, it must be something extraordinary. It must be a great opportunity. You must find a way to get your hands on this treasure.”

After Lingxu finished speaking, he added, "This will definitely be of great help to your cultivation."

"A treasure that must be kept in our hands..."

Li Xian listened, but remained calm.

He valued Luo Hou more than Zixiao Dao Palace.

A truly invincible being at the Dao Realm.

He was eager to know just how powerful these figures, who represented the pinnacle of the Dao Realm, could be.

As for the Purple Cloud Palace...

Perhaps it is extremely mysterious and precious, but he always firmly believed that external things are still just external things.

The most precious treasures in the world are always those that are within one's own power.

When one's power reaches a sufficient level, what might be merely a thatched hut where one temporarily lives in seclusion could appear to ordinary people as a supreme treasure containing unparalleled mysteries.

Lingxu seemed to sense Li Xian's attitude and couldn't help but get a little anxious: "Li Xian, don't take it lightly. Perhaps you will have amazing achievements in the future, but before you have enough strength, you must learn to respect your predecessors. Only by standing on the shoulders of giants can you see further."

"I know."

Li Xian said, "I will try my best to acquire the Zixiao Dao Palace, but if it is truly not meant for me, I will not force it."

"The great path is one of competition, with no retreat but advancement; it's either you or me. How can you have such a mindset?"

"The problem isn't mindset; I'm just very clear about what I'm fighting for."

Li Xian paused, a glint in his eyes, and continued, "Furthermore, I do not believe that the path of cultivation can only be walked by one person. If it really comes to that point, it only proves that there is no way forward. What a lonely and regrettable scene that would be."

Lingxu felt like he wanted to complain, but didn't know where to begin.

His cultivation level is low, but his tone is quite arrogant.

"Do you really think you're invincible now that you have the power of the Nine Marks? Let alone becoming the number one in the Dao Realm, at least get the power of the Ten Marks Heavenly Monarch and have the strength to transcend the tribulation with your physical body before you say such things."

"The Ten-Scarred Heavenly Lord..."

Li shook his head.

There was no conflict with Lingxu.

Whether it's the Ten Marks Heavenly Lord or the number one in the Dao Realm, they are merely invincible figures within the Dao Realm.

To truly become the number one person in the Great World of True Immortals...

Even Tianyuan Daoist's methods are not enough!
You must cultivate to become a Xuanxian!
Only when one reaches the level of a Mystic Immortal can one truly reach the point where there is no way forward and one has no choice but to ascend to the Immortal Realm to seek a way forward.

but……

For a True Lord who has not yet transcended tribulation to speak presumptuously of the creation of the Mysterious Immortals is surely unrealistic and overly ambitious.

He kept these words to himself and did not mention them to a mere spirit in the Spirit Ruins.

Of course, Lingxu's words made Li Xian pay more attention to Zixiao Dao Palace.

The reason...

It all lies in the peerless, stunning master it speaks of.

He had heard Lingxu praise its master's power more than once, and over time, Li Xian naturally became quite fascinated by her.

In the future, once he has achieved a certain level of cultivation, if he can contend with this powerful figure...

It must be a wonderful thing.

It was precisely because he vaguely regarded her as an opponent he would need to defeat in a few years that he wanted to learn about her deeds.

……

As his thoughts raced, Li Xian quickly traversed the distance from Yanlu Fortress to Youxian Island.

Nothing unexpected happened along the way.

At most, they discovered a few sixth-realm demons and dealt with them casually.

He only has tens of millions of merit points left, which is quite a lot for an eighth-level Refining God...

That's not a small amount either.

But for someone who once possessed a fortune in the hundreds of billions, this was already akin to standing on the brink of bankruptcy.

Since they'd run into each other, he naturally didn't mind killing some monsters to boost his economy.

Upon arriving at the Fallen Star Sea, Li Xian went directly to Qin Yi, sold several sixth-realm demons, and exchanged them for some daily necessities.

Considering that he couldn't even come up with eight thousand taels of pure gold last time, he specially exchanged some pocket money and piled it up in his storage ring.

After a moment, he seemed to remember something and asked Qin Yi, "Is Wei Mingzhen here?"

He was able to capture Xuandu, Gus, and others, and gather all the cultivation resources for the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi and the ninth level of the Floating Dawn True Body in one go, all thanks to the timely intelligence provided by Wei Ming.

Otherwise, if he had arrived an hour later, he would have missed out on the 200 billion-level profit.

"Wei Zhenchuan?"

Qin Yi paused for a moment, then quickly asked a few questions before replying, "He has already boarded the Sky Boat and returned to the sect."

"gone back?"

After hearing this, Li Xian didn't insist: "Alright then."

At that moment, he soared into the sky and headed straight for the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

……

The land of Dongzhou is vast and boundless.

However, accommodating the three sects of Daluo Immortal Sect, Yaoyang Immortal Sect, and Wuji Star Palace at the same time was already crowded. Adding the Dayu Immortal Dynasty and Wuliang Immortal Dynasty made the competition for resources on this land even more intense.

Fortunately, the Wuji Star Palace, originally located at the northern end of the continent, was severely damaged and voluntarily withdrew from the Eastern Continent, which gave the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty and the Dayu Immortal Dynasty some room to move.

Because the Boundless Immortal Dynasty was closer to the Boundless Star Palace, it developed better than the Dayu Immortal Dynasty.

Today, it has become the undisputed leader of the four great immortal dynasties.

Judging solely from the strength of the Loose Immortal stage, it is already not much worse than the increasingly declining Wuji Star Palace.

If it weren't for the fact that no one has ever attained the true immortal Dao fruit, and the fact that the Immortal Dynasty's foundation is somewhat lacking, it might have been able to become the tenth Immortal Sect.

Even so, over the years, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty has indeed been seeking to become the tenth seat of the Immortal Sect and officially stand on the most prestigious stage of the True Immortal Great World. It's just that the Great Luo Immortal Sect and the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect are watching and not giving them this opportunity.

Li Xian rode his sword and soared through the air, taking a full six days to cross countless mountains and rivers before finally arriving at the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

Compared to the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty was far more prosperous.

In particular, unlike the free-range approach of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty has extremely strong control over its subordinate territories, with each level—region, state, prefecture, county, town, and village—under its control and governance.

With this meticulous control over local areas, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty possesses astonishing mobilization and execution capabilities. All its policies are often implemented in all aspects, especially its talent selection system, which provides a continuous stream of talent for the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, making its number of low- and mid-level cultivators even greater than that of the Great Luo and Radiant Sun Immortal Sects.

On this land, there exists a law that defies belief: monks who break the law are punished the same as mortals.

Of course, cultivators often have various ways to circumvent the law, but this is still the first time in history.

With this law hanging high, cultivators are enough to consider the potential trouble when facing mortals, thus restraining their arrogance and preventing them from killing indiscriminately on a whim.

Therefore, when Li Xian arrived at the capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, what he saw was a prosperity far surpassing that of any city he had ever seen.

Pavilions, streets, palaces, and towers meander through mountains and rivers.

Countless monks and mortals also traveled back and forth through these streets and shops.

Because the city had no walls, the entire urban area had a radius of influence of an astonishing 30,000 li, with the core urban area also reaching 10,000 li.

Countless monks live on the mountains, fields, streets, and rivers that belong to the city.

Many cultivators would include an area of ​​several miles, or even tens of miles, within their cave dwellings, demarcate boundaries, and build magnificent palaces, pavilions, and waterside terraces, plant medicinal herbs and spiritual trees, and raise spiritual birds and beasts.

Once outside the cave, one encounters a variety of landscapes, from small bridges and flowing water to open plains and streets with shops.

It truly achieves a balance of tranquility within and bustling activity outside.

Li Xian flew across on his sword and went straight into the inner city.

However, just as they were about to enter the more bustling inner city, two sword lights quickly caught up with them.

"Please wait, sir."

One of the cultivators, who appeared to be quite young, directly produced a list: "Within the three thousand li radius of the inner city, the speed of sword flight must not exceed ten li per breath. You just exceeded the speed limit and need to pay a fine..."

As he spoke, he seemed to notice the insignia on Li Xian's sleeve: "A disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect? No, a Daoist disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect!?"

His heart tightened, but he quickly said, "It's understandable that an outsider is traveling at excessive speed on their first sword flight. This is just a reminder... After all, the speed of sword flight is too fast, and many cultivators whose spiritual consciousness has not yet formed simply cannot react in time and are unable to avoid it... I urge the sect leader to respect local customs and abide by the rules and laws of our Boundless Immortal Dynasty..."

"A speed limit of ten miles per breath?"

Li Xian smiled, but did not reprimand the cultivator. Instead, he said, "I understand."

He turned and headed straight for the embassy of the Great Luo Immortal Sect in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

Seeing Li leave, the other middle-aged man who had accompanied the True Essence Realm cultivator finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You're really bold. That insignia... it belongs to a Dao Child of the Great Luo Immortal Sect! Not a core disciple, not a core elder, not even a true disciple, but a Dao Child who has the potential to transcend tribulation and become an immortal in the future. How dare you stop someone like that..."

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since they have come to our Boundless Immortal Dynasty, they should abide by the rules and laws of our Boundless Immortal Dynasty."

The True Essence Realm cultivator said in a deep voice.

"It's different. The Immortal Sect is still the Immortal Sect..."

"Captain, how could you have such thoughts of the supremacy of immortal sects? Times have changed. The current Boundless Immortal Dynasty is no longer comparable to what it was ten thousand years ago. Thanks to the hard work of His Majesty and the Grand Secretaries, our Boundless Immortal Dynasty has become completely powerful."

This True Essence Realm cultivator was in high spirits: "Even the Boundless Star Palace, which borders us, has made repeated concessions in the sea. In foreign affairs, our Boundless Immortal Dynasty has won many battles and gained great fame. Didn't the elders say that our next goal is to make the Boundless Immortal Dynasty the tenth largest power in the True Immortal Great World? We are now truly powerful."

"Maybe... I'm getting old and can't keep up with you young people anymore..."

After being refuted, the captain of the True Fire Realm looked somewhat uneasy, but still said, "But we still need to show due respect to the strong..."

"I understand, I understand. Our Boundless Immortal Dynasty is a land of etiquette, but politeness is politeness, and law is law; they cannot be confused..."

……

The fact that a True Essence Realm cultivator dared to block the flying sword of a Refining Spirit Grandmaster was quite an eye-opener for Li Xian.

However, without dwelling on it, he still found the Great Luo Immortal Sect's headquarters first.

However, when he arrived at the camp, he discovered that the formation was only partially activated, and outside, hundreds of people were sitting quietly, seemingly protesting something.

Li Xian was completely baffled.

He bypassed the formation, which was mainly for warning purposes, and landed directly on the outpost, which covered an area of ​​more than forty miles.

Upon seeing him, many of the monks on guard simultaneously revealed joy in their eyes.

"It's Li Daozi!"

"I only received the news six days ago that Li Daozi would be coming to take up a post here. At the time, I was wondering how many months it would take. I never expected that he would arrive so quickly."

"Li Daozi has arrived. With his strength and prestige, our work will be much easier to carry out now."

Exclamations of surprise and delight rang out from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, a Grand Master of Spirit Refinement led several people to greet them.

"Welcome, Master Li Daozi. With Master Li Daozi's guidance, we can all relax a bit from now on."

The Refining Spirit Master said with a smile, "I am Dongming, your deputy envoy, Li Daozi. In the future, if you have any orders, just tell me to do them."

"Master Dongming".

Li Xian nodded slightly, while glancing outside: "What's the situation outside?"

"A characteristic of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty is that it frequently holds marches and protests."

Master Dongming said, "They have a law here that states that cultivators are subject to the same laws as mortals. Therefore, even when faced with this sit-in demonstration, we cannot actively drive them away unless it causes us any real harm."

Upon hearing what the True Man of the Cave of Darkness said, Li Xian glanced again outside the encampment...

This scene feels very familiar.

At this moment, Master Dongming added, "Perhaps... there's also an element of surveillance..."

"Surveillance? How dare you?"

"It's just a guess."

The Path of the Netherworld.

Li Xian seemed to be deep in thought.

"Let me first introduce our embassy to Daozi, and then arrange accommodations for Li Daozi, as well as arrange for everyone to come and pay their respects to Li Daozi..."

Master Dongming changed the subject: "The capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty is very developed, and land is extremely valuable. As a result, they only granted us forty li of land. Your cave dwelling is only six li in circumference, Daoist. It's a bit small. Please forgive us..."

"It's alright. I'm all alone. I have no servants or disciples, and I don't raise any spiritual herbs or birds. I just need a place to stay. I don't need a very big place."

Li Xiandao.

A cultivator's cave dwelling is basically equivalent to a small clan society. Those who are skilled in weapon crafting, alchemy, and beast taming even need their own spiritual fields, earth fires, and pastures, which naturally occupy a huge area.

Li Xian, who knows nothing but fighting, is clearly not included in this category.

As Dongming led Li Xian to the cave, he introduced the embassy to him.

Besides him, there were several hundred elders and deacons in the embassy. There were quite a few people, but not many.

This was because the Great Luo Immortal Sect had recently gone here to replenish their supplies.

After all, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty theoretically falls under the jurisdiction of the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect.

Just like how the Great Luo Immortal Sect suppressed the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

only……

After listening for a while, Li Xian was somewhat surprised: "The Boundless Immortal Dynasty has implemented many reforms over the years, which has led to a significant increase in the number of low- and mid-level cultivators... Even though they are only low- and mid-level cultivators, with a larger base of cultivators, high-level cultivators will inevitably emerge. Doesn't the Radiant Sun Immortal Sect care about this?"

"Since Li Daozi has asked, I will tell you the information I have gathered."

Dongming organized his thoughts: "The tacit approval of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect is mainly due to two points. First, they believe that high-level cultivators are not so easy to produce. On the contrary, the base of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty is only so big. If there are more low- and mid-level cultivators, it will only divide the already limited resources of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, resulting in a smaller number of high-level cultivators. And another point..."

He paused for a moment: "The Yaoyang Immortal Sect couldn't afford to clash with the Wuji Star Palace, so it secretly supported the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty in encroaching on the Wuji Star Palace's territory."

"The reason why Wuji Star Palace suffered such heavy losses was because it fought against the alien races and rendered meritorious service to the human race. Yaoyang Immortal Sect... wants to exterminate it?"

Li Xian frowned slightly.

"Based on the information I have so far, that's the case. However, they are still concerned about their reputation and cannot act openly. They are only encouraging the Boundless Immortal Dynasty to step in so that if the situation really gets out of control in the future, they can extricate themselves in time..."

Dongming paused for a moment, then said, "The Boundless Immortal Dynasty is clearly also playing along, using the opportunity of annexing the Boundless Star Palace to strengthen itself. Both sides are willing and have reached an agreement quickly..."

"The Boundless Immortal Dynasty is quite audacious. Aren't they afraid that if they anger the Boundless Star Palace, they might send a True Immortal to annihilate them?"

"Theoretically, that's true. But the Boundless Immortal Dynasty acts extremely secretly, and it gradually erodes power, never giving the True Immortals of the Boundless Star Palace a chance to act. Moreover... the Boundless Star Palace hasn't had a new True Immortal born for tens of thousands of years. How long can the remaining few... hold on without ascending?"

"Isn't the Yaoyang Immortal Sect afraid of raising a tiger that will eventually become a threat?"

"The Yaoyang Immortal Sect did not actually do nothing."

Dongming said, "According to the ambassador's recent log, in the past thousand years, the immortal power detection array in the embassy has monitored two strong Dao rhythm fluctuations. After these two fluctuations, two veteran Earth Immortals within the Boundless Immortal Dynasty announced that their lifespans had come to an end and that they had died suddenly due to cultivation mishaps..."

"You mean?"

"Yes, the Yaoyang Immortal Sect has been keeping a close eye on things. The Wuliang Immortal Dynasty thought it could secretly prove its Dao, but it failed twice in a row. These two failures probably exhausted the Wuliang Immortal Dynasty's accumulation of ten thousand years, which is why it has clearly quieted down in the last few hundred years."

Dongming explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Xian was surprised to find that the situation in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty was quite complicated.

However, he didn't need to think about these things in depth.

His most important task as ambassador was to promote the establishment of the Boundless Supreme Ranking.

At that moment, he asked directly, "Have you collected all the information on the outstanding individuals in the Dao Realm of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty?"

"I've collected them all."

Master Dongming immediately replied, "The sect leader personally issued the order two years ago, and we have done our utmost without daring to be negligent in the slightest."

He quickly pulled out a booklet: "This is the information for the list of 100 people."

Li Xian took a glance at it and saw that the first one in the list was not Chu Yunji, but a True Lord named Leng Xingshu.

But this is normal.

Within the Great Luo Immortal Sect, before his birth, the one with the greatest potential was naturally Yi Yuanshi.

But when it comes to true combat power, the number one in the Dao Realm is none other than the Shadow Sword Immortal.

This is a powerful being capable of fighting against a Heavenly Demon, also known as a Nascent Soul Immortal, in a short period of time.

Potential is potential, and strength is strength.

The Shadow Sword Immortal has cultivated for over seven hundred years, but what about Yi Yuanshi?
Less than two hundred years.

If Yi Yuanshi were to cultivate in seclusion in the Dao Realm for another five hundred years, he would surely surpass the Shadow Sword Immortal.

"First, we'll create hype for this list, then we'll get people to question it. At that point, I'll step in and publicly declare that I'll personally test the weight of this list."

Li Xiandao.

"clear."

Master Dongming nodded.

At this moment, a disciple of Master Dongming rushed over: "Master Li, the Crown Prince Yun Wuxiu of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty has learned of your arrival in the capital and has specially sent someone to invite you. They will be hosting a banquet tonight, gathering many celebrities of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty to welcome you and wash away the dust of your journey."

"Prince?"

Li glanced at the list.

This crown prince was ranked third.

There's even a note at the end.

The Crown Prince is suspected of hiding his true strength.
