Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 692 Famous Throughout the Heavenly Market, Spiritual Treasure Iteration (Part Two)

A desperate counterattack! Chao Xuanlong is no match for Ba Wanli!
A powerful dragon from beyond the realm, the true master of slaying the poisonous dragon!

The shame of the Five Great Grotto-Heavens, pay homage to Xuanlong!
……

The Taixu Divine Realm connects to the entire Tian Shi Yuan, and news spreads extremely quickly. Before dawn, news of Chao Xuanlong's crushing defeat had already spread like a hurricane to various immortal cities and major cities within Tian Shi Yuan.

The reputation of the true disciple of the Poison Dragon Academy was far greater than that of Chao Xuanlong himself, and the sensation it caused far exceeded the expectations of both sides in the battle.

"How could it spread so quickly?!"

On the top floor of the Cloud Tower, watching the number of spectators constantly fluctuating in the Knowledge Sphere, Chao Xuanlong, who had earned nearly 1.5 billion yuan in three days, felt his hands and feet turn ice cold.

When the two fought, the number of spectators had already reached 1.36 million, far exceeding the total number of his previous battles. However, in the next two days, this number actually doubled.

In less than three days, the number of viewers has approached ten million, and the rate is still increasing rapidly...

"A disgrace to the Cave Heaven..."

"The shame of the Poison Dragon..."

"The shame of Tianshiyuan..."

Looking at the incredibly popular spectator messages in the spectator area, Chao Xuanlong's back was almost soaked with cold sweat.

This title is far too heavy for him to bear.

The Poison Dragon Academy has no rule against blaming others for a lost battle, but he doesn't believe this matter will simply pass without a trace...

"Eighty thousand li!"

Chao Xuanlong repeatedly opened the friend-visiting interface. In the past three days, he had added Ba Wanli hundreds or thousands of times. He was willing to give all the profits to him, just to fight one more time.

But all requests went unanswered, and even the small request for a photo was ignored by Feng Xiuqi.

"Om~"

At this moment, the Knowledge Sphere trembled violently, and Chao Xuanlong reflexively opened the Knowledge Sphere, his face turning deathly pale instantly.

The letter didn't come from Ba Wanli, but from the 'Punishment Hall' of the Poison Dragon Academy!
"How could it be the Hall of Punishments?!"

Chao Xuanlong's hands were trembling, and he found it even more unbelievable.

"This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be happening! Right, Senior Brother Ying..."

Chao Xuanlong frantically tried to contact Ying Xuanlong, but the latter did not respond. Instead, a streak of light pierced through the sea of ​​clouds outside the window, and several disciples of the Punishment Hall stepped into the room.

"Junior Brother Chao."

The leader carried an ancient sword on his back, his face cold and fierce.

"Yun Yifei!"

Recognizing the person, Chao Xuanlong's expression grew even more grim: "What do you want to do?"

"Junior Brother Chao, you've been caught."

Yun Yifei's expression was indifferent: "The elders of the Punishment Hall have divined that forty-six years ago, you were suspected of murdering Senior Brother 'Lin Yijun,' who explored the strange land with you..."

"not my business!"

Chao Xuanlong's expression changed drastically. He wanted to refute, but he only felt his body tighten as a dark golden rope, like a python, tightly wrapped around him, sealing his magic power and divine realm.

"Dragon-Binding Rope!"

……

Chao Xuanlong, bound, disappeared into the sea of ​​clouds.

In the distance, atop a tall building, Ying Xuanlong frowned slightly:

"Elder Wang, isn't this making a mountain out of a molehill? It's just a loss in battle; there's no need to go to the punishment hall, is there?"

"It has nothing to do with this matter."

Opposite Ying Xuanlong was a middle-aged man with black hair and a white beard. He shook his head and said, "This scoundrel is suspected of murdering his fellow disciple many years ago. This is a serious crime."

"Is there such a thing?"

Ying Xuanlong's face darkened, and he didn't believe it.

Chao Xuanlong was a promising disciple of Daozi, and he didn't believe that the people from the Punishment Hall would arrest someone without his permission, since it was suspected rather than an immediate arrest.

"His defeat to a cultivator from another region and the ensuing uproar..."

Elder Wang put down his wine cup, turned and left.

“Yanlong was very displeased.”

Ying Xuanlong's eyes narrowed as he saw the words formed by the wine on the table.

He stood up and watched Elder Wang leave, but he knew in his heart that Chao Xuanlong would probably not be able to leave the Hall of Punishments without suffering a severe beating.

The Poison Dragon Academy has five lineages, each with its own disciples, true disciples, inner and outer disciples. He is a disciple of the Crimson Lineage, while Chao Xuanlong is a true disciple of the Azure Lineage.

Lin Yanlong, on the other hand, is a fifth-generation Daoist, only lacking the completion of the Dharma Heaven Refinement to become a contemporary Divine Child, whose status is even higher than Lin Yanlong's.

"A powerful dragon from beyond the realm, spanning eighty thousand miles..."

Ying Xuanlong wiped the wine off the table, his expression cold: "Earning Yuan Coins by stepping on the Poison Dragon's True Inheritance, you really aren't afraid of death..."

……

"boom!"

The waterfall plunges from the sky, crashing into the deep pool with a thunderous roar that can be heard for thousands of miles.

At the very bottom of the waterfall, on a silvery-white boulder, a young man sat naked, letting the 'Star River Waterfall' wash over him.

His body was robust and powerful, every inch of his bones radiating a pale golden divine light, with perfect lines, as if he were born to fight.

"Shh!"

In a split second, the young man opened his eyes, and the Star River Waterfall, powerful enough to crush a ten-thousand-foot-tall mountain, stopped flowing.

"Lin Yanlong?"

The young man pulled out a knowledge orb from between his eyebrows, raising a slight brow in surprise: "Poison Dragon Daoist, what does he want with me?"

hum~
White light intertwined, casting a reflection on the pool's surface, revealing a handsome cultivator in a black robe.

"What brings you here, Lin Daozi?"

The young man gave a perfunctory greeting, seemingly indifferent.

"Several months ago, Feng Wuding, who had joined the Weitian Dao Sect, returned and began recruiting explorers on a large scale, seemingly to explore a very high-grade mysterious place..."

Lin Yanlong spoke up.

"Oh? A very high-level strange land? How high is it? Are there any great medicines or Dao fruits to be obtained?"

The young man didn't seem very interested, but he still asked a question.

"It's definitely high, as for how high..."

Lin Xinglong paused slightly: "It is said that Xuan Daozi of the Heavenly Principle Sect is also recruiting Netherworld Explorers, and they are all Netherworld Explorers below the fifth realm..."

"You want me to go?"

Wu Er sneered: "I haven't even formed my Great Core yet, how can I compete with cultivators of the Fourth Realm?"

"Ha~"

Lin Xinglong didn't say anything more, and the light and shadow immediately disappeared.

"A high-level mysterious place... This Lin guy interrupted my seclusion just to talk about this?"

Wu Er frowned slightly, took out the Knowledge Ball and entered it, preparing to gather some information. He subconsciously glanced at the spectator area and was immediately attracted by the battle information there.

"The shame of Tianshiyuan?"

"A powerful dragon from another realm, possibly possessing an innate Dao physique?"

Wu Er's heart stirred, and he immediately clicked on the most popular battle. At first, he was indifferent, but when he saw the seven top-grade true forms, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Kunpeng, Azure Dragon, White Tiger... This seems to be the true form diagram from the Five Extremes Sutra?"

Upon reaching the end, however, I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration:
"Which sect's junior brother is this? He fought so brilliantly! A comeback from the brink of defeat, extremely entertaining! Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

"Why didn't I think of fighting like this?"

Looking at the surge in the number of spectators, Wu Er couldn't help but slap his thigh in frustration. He hadn't even gained this much from his battle to reach second place on the leaderboard!
"This junior brother really knows how to have fun."

After watching it three times, Wu Er was amazed, feeling that compared to his junior brother, he had wasted a hundred years of his time playing the general knowledge ball.

"Eight thousand miles, that should also be a pseudonym..."

It's not surprising that Wu Er was using a pseudonym, since he was also using a pseudonym.

His real name is Wu Yunlong, a disciple of Yuan Dongtian and Shizun Mountain.

"I wonder which Taoist sect it comes from?"

Wu Yunlong suddenly realized: "That Lin fellow's sudden letter, could it be that he wants me to stop this junior brother's winning streak?"

"It shouldn't be, otherwise it would be too petty."

Wu Yunlong thought it probably wasn't him. After all, Lin Yanlong was the Poison Dragon Dao Child, a prodigy on the verge of attaining the Heavenly Law. He wouldn't be so petty.

'Or perhaps you also recognize that this junior brother is from the Weitian Dao Sect?'

Wu Yunlong wondered to himself.

He still found himself somewhat interested in this junior brother from some unknown Taoist sect.

The Five Great Scriptures, even among all the Great Scriptures of the Heavenly Dao Sect, belong to the top level, differing from the Four Great Scriptures he studied by only one character.

……

……

Cultivate yourself daily, practice daily, and refine yourself daily.

Master Li was always diligent in his spiritual practice.

For him, none of the world's desires could compare to the essential improvement and sublimation that came from immersing himself in spiritual practice.

On the Qi Gathering Platform, Li Yuan closed his eyes and entered meditation, controlling the Xuan Teng Snake Sheath of the fourth or fifth realm. Relying on the fifth level of the Azure Emperor Longevity Scripture realm, he slowly pushed forward the Azure Emperor's magic power.

Wisps of spiritual energy from heaven and earth visibly gathered, like clouds and mist, enveloping the entire mountain.

As you can see, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathers, all the plants and trees on and around this mountain stretch out their branches and leaves. Even wild grasses, when placed in the place where cultivators practice their techniques, may become spiritual beings or even enter the Dao.

This is a cultivation speed that only those with both innate talent and advanced cultivation techniques, along with the ability to consume three levels of spiritual pills, can achieve.

However, other cultivators with divine or demonic talents, even if they also consume spiritual pills every day, cannot refine their techniques as quickly as he can. This is because it is almost impossible for a normal cultivator in the third realm to cultivate their fundamental techniques to the fifth level.

According to Ling Shu Tong Zi, apart from that bearded man, no one among the contemporary disciples has progressed faster than him.

"Dao Body, Innate Dao Body..."

While practicing the technique, Li Yuan multitasked, also sensing the Dao body that was being nurtured within his body.

Compared to his cultivation progress, the development of his Dao body seemed rather slow, and he was unable to find a way to accelerate the development of his physique.

The library naturally contains methods to accelerate the development of one's physical constitution.

Li Yuan had previously borrowed books of this kind, but neither "The Scenery of the Creation and Demise of Heaven and Earth" nor "The Great Medicine Intertwined with Law and Principle" were within his reach.

The scenes of birth and death of heaven and earth, that is, the realms, or the scenes of birth and death of other dimensions, these wonders contain the mysteries of the birth and death of heaven and earth, and have infinite creation.

While seemingly simple, the Great Elixir is actually nowhere to be found. Anything that can be called a 'Great Elixir' is nothing but a manifestation of the intertwined principles of heaven and earth. When a cultivator consumes it, it may break through realms or nurture a Dao body, with endless wondrous uses.

The rarest of these, the 'elixir of immortality,' can even allow cultivators to live a second or third life when their lifespan ends!

'Once the little female dragon buys those spiritual treasures, perhaps we can try to accelerate the formation of her Dao body...'

Li Yuan pondered.

The day after his battle with Chao Xuanlong, he sent Shen Ying'er to Tian Shi Yuan to purchase various rare and precious materials, as well as several spiritual treasures that he had previously coveted for enhancing his talents.

He was extremely interested in defying one's innate nature.

"Woo~"

In a flash, Li Yuan sensed something and opened his eyes to see six gourd-shaped sword energies intertwining and weaving through the azure mist that filled the Qi-gathering platform.

A black ape demon moved swiftly and darted among the sword lights, sometimes transforming into a gigantic form several feet in size, wielding heavy sword energy, and sometimes shrinking to the size of a speck of dust, wandering within the sword net.

"A near-third-realm ape demon? This is one of the best resources for nurturing the Burning Heart Ape."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately raised his hand and pointed.

"Shh!"

A long, dark purple vine shot out and, in an instant, pierced through the screaming ape demon, pinning it to the Qi-gathering platform before the latter's incredulous eyes.

This is an ape demon about to advance to the third realm. The divine patterns in its body are already quite solid, varying in size as desired, and its body is like a Vajra. Ordinary third-realm cultivators would have a hard time fighting it.

However, Li Yuan's long vine was simultaneously empowered by 'Mysterious Gang Heavy Water' and 'Heavenly Roc Escape Technique', possessing both extreme speed and the power to break through the protective barrier, as well as two newly refined wood-elemental spells.

With the combined power of the four spells, even a near-third-realm expert would be instantly killed, let alone a third-realm expert.

"Good luck."

Li Yuan was in a good mood as he reached out and stuffed the ape demon into Niwan.

His progress in the art of demon refining was not slow, but this secret method originated from the Dao of the Ten Directions of Annihilation. Without the blessing of the fundamental law, it was difficult to attract rare demons.

You might not encounter a quasi-third-realm ape demon even once every few months.

"Most demons above the third realm are cunning and treacherous, and it is not easy to catch them with a straight hook. Without the blessing of the Ten Directions Annihilation Dao, bait is needed."

The meaning of the demon-refining method flashed through Li Yuan's mind, but it was just a thought. Although the demons caught by the straight hook were of poor quality, they were safe.

If he actually puts in the bait, the monster he catches might not be one he can handle.

Among the scriptures on demon refining passed down by the Daoist Fufa, there were also many cultivators who failed in their demon refining endeavors. The most unfortunate among them was a cultivator at the fourth realm who lured a ferocious demon at the sixth realm, and died a gruesome death.

"It's good to proceed steadily and surely."

Li Yuan continued practicing his cultivation techniques and successively caught dozens more second-realm demons. As evening approached, there was another surprise: a snake demon escaped through the void, was pierced by the Xuan Teng, and pulled into the Niwan Palace of the Divine Realm.

After finishing his practice, Li Yuan ate his meal and drank tea as usual, lit some spiritual incense, swallowed some spiritual pills, and sat quietly in the bamboo building to contemplate the True Form Diagram.

"Om~"

With multitasking, Li Yuan entered the Niwan Divine Realm.

On Xuan Teng Island, five colors intertwine, and five ancient temples tremble rhythmically, nourishing the corresponding five elements of magic.

In just over half a month, he not only cultivated three kinds of magic power, but also mastered the twenty spells he exchanged from the Scripture Pavilion, provided he had enough divine runes.

Apart from the Five Elements Escape Technique and the Five Elements Immobilization Technique, the ten spells he chose were mostly used to strengthen his true form and to complement other spells.

Most of them are methods related to water and wood.

Water-based techniques such as the 'Frosty Yin Water Sword', 'Dripping Water Sword', and 'Ice Soul Divine Light' are used in conjunction with the 'Kunming Myriad Armor' and the Taiyin Sword Qi.

The wood method, naturally, is used to bless the Xuan Teng tree.

For example, the finger strike he used to kill the ape demon contained two newly refined wood-elemental spells: 'Azure Wood Thunder Technique' and 'Azure Wood Bewitching God Technique'.

One is thunder, the other is stillness.

"Twenty-seven spells are enough for now."

Li Yuan glanced at the surging incense smoke in the Five Extremes Temple.

In three days, his income skyrocketed, his good deeds exceeded a thousand again and were approaching two thousand, and the incense offerings received by the Five Extremes Temple also increased several times. If he only listened to the sound and fished, it would probably be enough for two hundred years.

"Om~"

Li Yuan saw Yangbing Island.

Thanks to the method of refining demons, Yangbing Island is slowly growing every day. Although it cannot compare with Xuan Teng Island, it is much larger than before.

Various divine runes, some incomplete and some complete, wandered and traversed in the void and underground, sometimes intertwining and sometimes colliding to create all sorts of wonders.

In the very center, the much larger Nine-Headed Serpent was tending to the divine furnace, while to the side lay piles of various demon bones, forming several large mountains.

These are the spiritual materials he plans to use to refine the White Bone Demon Mountain.

As for the other rare and precious materials, they had already been melted into molten iron by Jiuying and planted in the training ground before being used to refine the various divine patterns of the White Bone Demon Mountain.

"Fire Phoenix Refining Technique".

As Li Yuan strolled slowly on Yangbing Island, various scriptures on refining treasures came to mind.

This treasure-refining technique is an adjunct to the secret method of forging the 'Fire Phoenix Furnace'. Although it is an adjunct, it is quite exquisite and is very compatible with the Fire Phoenix Furnace and the training ground.

Simply bury the corresponding divine runes in the training ground, then melt all the necessary natural treasures into water and use it to irrigate the area, after which it will slowly grow.

He looked down into the ground and saw various divine patterns intertwined, absorbing the essence of all kinds of natural treasures in the military training ground. The outlines were already faintly visible.

There are many kinds of spiritual treasures that can nurture the White Bone Demon, and Li Yuan naturally chose the White Bone Demon Mountain.

"The Dao soldiers cannot be entrusted to others; the Human Demon Mountain must refine them, even if it is troublesome."

Under Li Yuan's gaze, Yangbing Island suddenly trembled, and then, earth and stones flew everywhere, and an arched small earthen mound rose from the ground.

Calling it a mountain would be an exaggeration; judging from its appearance alone, it resembles an old tomb, with a deep, dark hole in the tomb mound from which a thick white mist billows out.

"Wow~"

Nine-Headed Serpent flicked its tail, and large pieces of demonic bones rolled into it. After a series of teeth-grinding chewing sounds, a skeleton demon emerged.

"..."

Looking at the slender, small skeleton that seemed to fall apart at any moment as it moved shakily, Li Yuan was speechless.

"Not even at the first realm..."

Li Yuan frowned as he examined the little skeleton. It was far from being a White Bone Demon. The divine runes within it were weak and sparse. It could barely walk, let alone kill enemies or protect the Dharma.

However, since it was the first Dao soldier he had forged, Li Yuan did not remelt it. Instead, he raised his hand and threw it into the Demon Bone Mountain to see if it had the potential to advance.

"The White Bone Demon Mountain with only one level of artifact restriction is still too weak. To forge a usable Dao weapon, at least nine levels of artifact restriction are needed..."

Li Yuan was not discouraged.

His newly refined Demon Mountain, according to the classification of the Military Scroll, could only be barely considered a seventh-order magic weapon, while Tongqian Daoist's Demon Mountain was as high as fourteenth-order, a superior-grade divine weapon.

It's normal for there to be a huge gap between the two.

"The magical power consumed in nurturing and refining this mountain of white bones and demons is four or five times greater than that of Nine Smoke Luo..."

After sensing it for a moment, Li Yuan couldn't help but want to hire someone to help him refine his magic weapon.

"Click, click~"

Chewing sounds echoed continuously in the newly formed human-demon mountain. Later, many equally weak little skeletons emerged and were all recycled by him.

Refining Dao weapons is also a form of sacrificial refining.

"With daily nurturing and the supply of demonic bones, it would take at least twenty years for this Human-Demon Mountain to refine a White Bone Human-Demon of decent quality..."

In a flash, Li Yuan abandoned his idea of ​​slowly refining the essence.

This is the path that ascetic monks use to refine magical artifacts, but a wealthy and powerful Taoist priest like him has a shortcut.

"If you want to quickly refine a magic weapon, you can purchase a large number of similar divine runes to nourish it, or you can devour a higher-grade magic weapon of the same type. If you do both, it should be able to take shape quickly."

Having made up his mind, Li Yuan instructed Jiu Ying to keep an eye on the Human Demon Mountain and then withdrew from the Niwan Divine Realm.

……

After defeating Chao Xuanlong, Li Yuan no longer fought every day, but his income increased day by day. He had fought more than 7,000 times, and the number of people in almost every match was increasing.

Of course, the fastest was the battle with Chao Xuanlong.

"This income is probably much more than I previously estimated. Chao Xuanlong doesn't have such a big reputation, probably because of his identity as the 'True Disciple of the Poison Dragon'."

After browsing through the spectator area and the myriad phenomena of the void, Li Yuan understood that this was related to his fabricated identity as an 'extraterrestrial cultivator'.

The five great grotto-heavens of Tian Shi Yuan have seen countless victories and defeats among the disciples of various clans, far less captivating than the story of the extraterrestrial cultivator defeating the Poison Dragon's true teachings.

"It's true that outsiders are better at chanting scriptures; the ancients were right! But this move has its advantages and disadvantages, and it certainly stirs up a lot of hatred."

Li Yuan looked at the battle arena. In less than three days, more than 70,000 people had challenged him!

Although most of them were just there to join in the fun, the small group included genuine disciples from the Poison Dragon Academy and the other four great grotto heavens.

He casually flipped through the list and found that, apart from 'Wu Er' who was ranked second on the Battle Ranking, all the top twenty on the Star Ranking had sent him challenges.

This includes Lin Yue, who is ranked first on the Star Ranking and is one of only two god-level geniuses on the Battle Ranking.

"Lin Yue, a true disciple of the Demon Lin Academy, cultivates the 'Great Scripture of Reversing Demons,' a cultivator at the eighth level of the Divine Palace, and has been ranked first on the Star Ranking for fifty consecutive years..."

Li Yuan thoroughly searched for information about Lin Yue and found that it was far more dazzling than that of Chao Xuanlong, and the information was not detailed, even simplistic.

"He's suspected of having reached the ninth level of cultivation? Even if there's some exaggeration, he's probably not much weaker than Senior Brother Kizaru..."

Li Yuan pondered this in his heart.

If he were to compare himself to Kizaru, he felt that even if he activated the Weapon Mastery Talisman, he might not have much of a chance of winning.

With the same divine and demonic talent, this person came from the Demon Scale Academy and had cultivated for several decades longer than him. Even though his progress was rapid, the gap was still too large.

"This person is a formidable enemy."

Li Yuan took it very seriously, but he was not panicked.

The gains from the battle with Chao Xuanlong far exceeded expectations. Even if he doesn't reach the top of the Star Ranking in a short time, he will still benefit greatly.

How about a challenge?
Simply do not engage in battle!
"Once I've absorbed all these good deeds and gathered all nine spiritual forms, I might still be able to defeat this person!"

After tallying up his gains for the day, Li Yuan exited the Knowledge Sphere.

……

In the following ten days or so, perhaps because the top disciples of the holy lands who were ranked at the top of the Star Ranking all came down to fight, Li Yuan's income actually surged again.

Good deeds have already approached the three thousand mark!
Meanwhile, more and more people challenged him, and Feng Xiuqi, unable to bear the harassment, had already retreated into seclusion within his clan and dared not show his face for a while.

Li Yuan remained calm and composed, counting his daily merits and virtues, and focusing on practicing his magic, undisturbed by external disturbances.

"Om~"

On this day, nine-colored clouds and mist entered the cave, and the mirage baby who had gone out to buy things returned carrying a gourd.

"Owner!"

From afar, the shouts of the little white gourd could be heard.

Li Yuan looked up and saw the brilliance of various spiritual treasures reflecting in his eyes.
