This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Jian Chen was in a state of enlightenment just now, but after hearing Li Daoxuan's undisguised words, he became like a startled cat.

Martial arts energy erupted suddenly, forming a protective barrier on the body's surface.

A longsword of spiritual treasure quality appeared in a flash and was held in his hand as if facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing his reaction, Li Daoxuan smiled faintly:

"Don't be nervous, I won't make a move yet."

"But you'd better pray that the people you called are strong enough, otherwise you might still have a chance to live."

Jian Chen stared intently at Li Daoxuan and said in a deep voice:

"My Qingyun Sword Sect has no enmity with you, sir. Why are you pushing me to my death?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head.

"No grudges or hatred? Who said that?"

Jian Chen was taken aback, and he was also a little unsure of what to do.

The Qingyun Sword Sect has been stationed in this territory spanning thousands of miles for over two thousand years, and in those two thousand years, the number of sects and forces it has destroyed is countless.

Who knows which sect this young man, who claims to be a Taoist cultivator, actually belongs to?

Moreover, Jian Chen knew perfectly well that someone with such cultivation was not someone who could be easily persuaded.

The only way is to eliminate it completely.

But now Jian Chen felt a little unsure. When he left the Southwest Branch, he asked the Grand Elder to send a message to the Main Branch, in which he rated Li Daoxuan's strength as only at the Eighth Heaven.

But Jian Chen changed his mind at this moment. In his eyes, even if Li Daoxuan was not a top expert below the level of Earth Immortal in the Ninth Heaven, he was definitely one of the best in the Eighth Heaven.

He could only pray, as Li Daoxuan had suggested, that the main sect would take this inexplicable enemy seriously and at least send a Ninth Heaven expert to deal with it.

Jian Chen is truly at a loss now...

Holding the sect leader's token in his palm, only this thing could give him a little peace of mind at this moment.

This sect leader's token is not only a certificate to enter the blessed land of Lingze where the main sect is located, but also a spiritual treasure of the half-step immortal weapon level.

Its power is comparable to that of a master at the ninth level of heaven, but it can only be used once.

Once used, not only will the token be rendered useless, but his position as the branch sect leader will likely be revoked.

But if Li Daoxuan really wanted to attack him, he would have no choice but to use it.

Li Daoxuan glanced at his hands hidden behind his back, smiled, and said:

"Actually, I am not an unreasonable person. If your sect can hand over a few disciples, I will not continue to pester you."

Upon hearing this, Jian Chen frowned. "Hand over a few disciples?"

The disciples who can cultivate in the main sect are all geniuses selected from among thousands. It would probably not be easy to get the main sect to hand them over voluntarily.

But this also suggests that there may still be room for maneuver in this matter.

"Who are the disciples you mentioned, sir?"

Li Daoxuan waved his hand and said calmly:

"We'll talk when we get there. You've been delaying for so long; they must have already laid a trap. Don't waste any more time, hurry up..."

Jian Chen's expression changed drastically, and he was even more horrified.

This person knew there would be an ambush ahead, yet he remained so calm.

This is enough to show that he has great confidence in his own abilities.

Even in the entire Nanli Prefecture, the Qingyun Sword Sect is considered one of the top sects. It's impossible for him not to know the name of the Qingyun Sword Sect. So where does this confidence come from?

Could this person actually be a master of the Ninth Heaven?

Even a master of the Ninth Heaven has absolutely no ability to contend with the Azure Cloud Sword Sect...

"Could it be... that this is actually a terrestrial immortal who has cultivated to the Martial Embryo stage?"

Jian Chen was startled by his own thought.

Martial Immortals are the most renowned experts in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Since the Hongyu Era, most of the second-realm martial gods of the Xuanhuang Great World have traveled to the Heavenly Domain, hoping to break through to the Great Emperor Realm, which has not been achieved in ten thousand years.

Therefore, in the world today, Earth Immortals are practically the most powerful beings.

Jian Chen was almost 100% certain that the Qingyun Sword Sect had never offended anyone in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Impossible... How could he possibly be a Martial Immortal..."

Jian Chen kept reassuring himself.

The speed of the airship was gradually increasing.

But he never sheathed his sword, and the sect leader's token remained on the verge of activation.

Li Daoxuan remained seated calmly, unmoved.

Everything in this vast and mysterious world was quite novel to him.

The sun in the sky and the stars beyond the heavens were all in a way never seen before.

Li Daoxuan discovered that the knowledge I had originally remembered about stargazing was almost useless here.

The celestial phenomena of the Xuanhuang Great World are completely different, containing a profound and ancient aura.

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but think of his Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron.

This cauldron was originally just an ordinary, mundane object.

It was because it unintentionally received the certification of Heaven and Earth and obtained a wisp of primordial energy that it became extraordinary.

After arriving in the Xuanhuang Great World, this cauldron seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation.

However, this transformation process is extremely slow.

After talking with Jian Chen, Li Daoxuan realized that this cauldron... seemed to need to "eat".

Its own material is too poor, and even with the blessing of the mysterious yellow energy, it is still difficult to make up for its foundation.

Therefore, in order for the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron to complete its transformation, it must be made to devour some materials rich in spiritual energy.

Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered a term that the young men in Jingming Cave Heaven seemed to have mentioned when they saw the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron in his hand: "Great Dao Spiritual Treasure".

"Sect Master Jian Chen, have you ever heard of 'Great Dao Spiritual Treasures'?"

Jian Chen's gaze turned serious, and he was once again puzzled by Li Daoxuan's origins.

How could someone who might be a master of the Ninth Heaven not even know such common knowledge that everyone knows?

"The Great Dao Spiritual Treasure is the ultimate treasure among all treasures in the world."

"It also has another name, the Great Dao Emperor Weapon."

"It is said that only Great Emperors can extract a trace of Xuanhuang Qi from the origin of heaven and earth to forge a Great Dao Emperor Weapon."

"Each Great Dao Emperor Weapon is like a living emperor, invincible in the world."

"Even a Martial God might not be able to withstand the power of a Great Dao Emperor Weapon."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel curious. He focused his mind on his sea of ​​consciousness and examined it carefully, but no matter how he looked at it, his Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron didn't seem that powerful.

"It must be because the materials were of very poor quality, and it happened to contain primordial energy, that those people mistook it for a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, right?"

Therefore, those people will definitely tell the sect about the Taiyi Xuanhuang Cauldron after they return to the Qingyun Sword Sect.

In other words, as soon as he shows his face and is recognized by those people, the news that he possesses a Great Dao Emperor Weapon will likely be leaked.

"Judging from what Jian Chen said, if the people of the Xuanhuang Great World knew that I possess a Great Dao Emperor Weapon, I'm afraid I would never have peace again."

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

Therefore, it's best not to reveal one's strength until one has a clear understanding of one's place in the world.

As he was pondering, Li Daoxuan suddenly sensed an unusual fluctuation.

Looking up, I could see something hidden in the clouds ahead.

With a sweep of his divine sense, everything became clear to him.

Li Daoxuan stood up and glanced at Jian Chen.

"Thank you for escorting me, Sect Master Jian Chen. Considering you've answered many of my questions, I should hurry and escape..."
