Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 695 Five Swords for Demon Refining, Twelve Banners of the Great Luo (Two-in-One)

"Whoo~"

Even knowing that his master was still by his side, Kizaru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he couldn't sense him. Thinking back to Li Yuan's composure earlier, he couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Facing his master directly, he felt his mind tremble with every word he spoke. This was because the difference in their fundamental nature was so great that it exceeded his own willpower and caused him great shock.

"A great scripture, a cup of tea for enlightenment!"

Looking at the table in front of him, Kizaru could not hide his joy.

A cup of Enlightenment Tea is a gift that every disciple who enters the inner circle receives when visiting their master, but the Great Scripture is not.

This is a privilege reserved for disciples who have a chance to receive the true teachings!

"I wonder about Li Yuan..."

The thought had barely formed when Kizaru had already killed it. He then calmed himself down, walked to the table, and sat down cross-legged.

Drink tea and study scriptures!
……

Chaotic entity!
Behind the bamboo building, Li Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, letting the joy in his heart flow as he sensed the changes in the divine realm.

Judging from its appearance, the mud ball is shrouded in chaotic energy, like a chicken egg that is being conceived, sometimes trembling slightly, sometimes returning to calm.

hum~
Li Yuan's spirit returned to Niwan.

Wisps of chaotic energy permeated the entire divine realm, propelling the already vast realm to gradually expand. Although the expansion was not as great as when the Niwan Palace was unified, it was no less than when he forged the divine palace!
A transformation akin to breaking through a barrier!

Looking down at the divine realm, Li Yuan saw that the ocean was surging with undercurrents. As wisps of chaotic energy entered it, the weight of the entire ocean increased.

The changes on Xuan Teng Island are even greater. Its area has expanded by nearly a quarter, and the Xuan Teng Tree, which was nourished for a year and reached more than 700 zhang, is now approaching 900 zhang!

The tree trunks grew thicker, and the branches and leaves became more lush. Nourished by the surging vitality, the island was now verdant and covered with countless plants.

"Shu~"

Li Yuan raised his hand and grabbed a branch. He felt it was slightly heavy in his hand, and the fibers inside had become more resilient. With a gentle flick, it made a 'snap' sound as it cut through the air.

Beneath the chaotic energy, the five-colored radiance continued to flow, but it was much denser than before. The Five Extremes Ancient Temple trembled slightly, its intensity increasing.

"Woo~"

Li Yuan landed on Xuan Teng Island, and the Burning Heart Ape jumped right into his arms. This little red monkey had obviously benefited a lot; although its size hadn't changed much, it felt more substantial.

The same changes also occurred in the other six True Forms.

"The Chaotic Body can bear all laws, and can also nourish the true form of all laws..."

Information about the Chaos Entity flashed through Li Yuan's mind as he looked at the small temple of the Azure Emperor under the tree. Inside the temple, five beams of azure light swirled around the statue of the deity.

Those were the five wood-elemental spells he practiced: Azure Emperor's Evolution, Wood-elemental Escape Technique, Wood-elemental Immobilization Technique, Azure Wood Thunder Technique, and Azure Wood Bewitching God Technique.

These five spells slowly rotated around the statue, growing stronger with each rotation. Though slow, they were continuous and unbroken.

This is the Qingdi Temple's nourishment of wood-elemental spells; the other four temples will also nourish their corresponding spells.

"The Chaotic Body has the ability to control all laws, and also the effect of nourishing all laws!"

As the master of the divine realm, Li Yuan could sense every bit of progress in magic. After the Chaos Body was conceived, the speed of magic advancement increased even more.

With the support of the Qingdi Temple, it has grown by nearly double!
"Unlike the Five Extremes Temple, whose speed has plummeted due to the lack of a fundamental law to nourish it, the Chaos Body does not hinder the advancement of all laws at all!"

Li Yuan was shaken.

Those with divine or demonic innate talents can cultivate spells much faster than ordinary cultivators. The Five Extremes Scripture can multiply the five elements spells, and the Chaos Body can multiply them even further on this basis!

What a terrifying speed!

Taking wood-based spells as an example, it would take a cultivator below the fourth rank at least several hundred years to push a spell to the 108th level of magical restriction, even while simultaneously cultivating multiple spells.

Therefore, a normal cultivator at the fifth realm can only fully master the spell restrictions of a few of their main spells, while other spells may have 80 or 90 layers of restrictions, or as few as 70 layers.

"Forty years!"

The thought arose in Li Yuan's mind, and the result was quickly determined.

In just forty years, he will be able to push all the wood-elemental spells, including Qingdi Yan's, to the limit of the spell restrictions!
Not just one subject, but the entirety!

It should be noted that he has not yet collected all five Great Scriptures, nor has he cultivated the power of the Five Emperors, and his Chaos Body is currently only at the Dharma Body level.

"If this were the complete Chaos Sacred Body, plus the power of the Five Emperors..."

In that instant, Li Yuan finally understood that the Divine Palace Ninth Heaven was a place where one could cultivate eighty-one superior-grade spells.

This goal, which seems like a pipe dream to ordinary cultivators, may be as easy as turning one's hand for some cultivators who have nurtured a sacred body.

"This is still the Chaos Body, what about the Enlightenment Body?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the Dragon Demon Taoist.

The Enlightenment Body is the most recognized sacred body for cultivating techniques!

"Thinking back now, that old master's enlightenment body was probably extremely incomplete..."

Recalling the deeds of the Dragon Demon Daoist, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If he hadn't been born on a major star that was isolated from the outside world by the Eight Directions Temple, the old master would probably have been famous throughout the heavens and myriad realms a thousand years earlier, or even if the Twenty-Three of the East hadn't been asleep at that time...

"The Eight Directions Temple has wandered for countless millennia, yet it missed out on a potential enlightened being..."

"Nothing in this world is more bizarre than this."

Feeling the changes in the divine realm, Li Yuan's emotions surged.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he opened his eyes to see the bamboo house door open. Huang Yuan bowed and walked out, his eyes now frighteningly bright compared to when he entered.

The harvest will likely be substantial!

The thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind, and Ling Shu Tong Zi nudged him, saying, "It's your turn!"

"call!"

Li Yuan took a deep breath, slowly walked into the house, and without saying a word, bowed deeply.
"Master."

"Whoo~"

The bamboo door closed.

"No need to pour tea."

Tianyu Daojun called out to Li Yuan:

"Your knowledge of chaotic entities is far too limited..."

You already know this before you even ask...

Li Yuan awkwardly stopped pouring tea.

"Ok?"

Daoist Tianyu glanced at him, which frightened the latter into silence before he finally spoke:
"The Chaotic Body can withstand all laws, break all laws, and is also immune to all laws, but to be immune to all laws, one must first withstand all laws!"

"Om~"

As he spoke, Li Yuan saw wisps of chaotic mist seeping out from the void. Then he felt the surrounding space expand infinitely, growing to a size of tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.

A figure formed from mist slowly walked out. With each step, the features became clearer, and after a few breaths, it had transformed into the appearance of Li Yuan.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan was startled.

His senses were extremely sharp; he could tell at a glance that the person in front of him not only resembled him in appearance but also had an almost identical aura.

"The Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture, the Seven True Form Diagrams, the Mysterious Vine Serpent, the Five Extremes Temple..."

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched violently.

"The chaotic body can transform into all things and all laws; there is no need to be surprised."

Daoist Tianyu remained seated in the same spot, seemingly only a few feet away from the two, yet also appearing to be thousands of miles apart.
"You can give it a try."

"Disciple accepts the order!"

Li Yuan knew this was not a test, but guidance. He immediately bowed, and then light and shadow intertwined behind him, transforming into a vast ocean and the Mysterious Vine Island.

The trees above are towering, and the seven true forms all raise their heads.

"boom!"

In the next instant, the Xuan Teng Tree suddenly shone brightly. Under the intertwining of five-colored energy, thousands of vines burst forth from the sky, and all kinds of spells were activated at the same time.

The vines pierced the air, possessing the speed of the Heavenly Roc, the weight of the Xuan Gang Water, the protection of the Xuan You, as well as the wood-elemental thunder magic and the ability to immobilize.

Apart from holding the military register, Li Yuan held nothing back.

"The Chaos Body also greatly enhances the power of spells!"

The moment he made his move, Li Yuan felt all the techniques at his command, and his power increased greatly. In an instant, he had covered thousands of miles of void, blocking all space for dodging and maneuvering.

Faced with Li Yuan's all-out attack, the Daoist formed from chaotic energy simply raised his hand, and five-colored light intertwined like a wheel. With a gentle tremor, thousands of snake vines fell down one after another.

"what?!"

Even knowing that this attack would be futile, Li Yuan couldn't help but be startled by what he saw.

"boom!"

Li Yuan reacted swiftly, teleporting at the thought of it, but he only felt a flash of chaotic energy before his eyes and was actually thrown out of the void!
"Wow~"

The moment Li Yuan sensed something was wrong, the Golden-Winged Roc leaped out from the wondrous scene he had created, transforming into golden light and rushing towards them, only to be shattered into scattered streams of light by the five-colored light wheel.

The Taiyin sword energy that should have burst forth simply vanished.

"This is what it means to be invulnerable to all laws..."

Despite the near-utter defeat, Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Let's assume for now that you're not infringing on my law."

Tianyu Daojun corrected him, saying, "This wisp of energy is equal to yours, therefore it can completely break your magic."

Li Yuan admired him deeply, bowed deeply, and his long sleeves trailed to the ground.

"Master, teach me!"

The void vanished silently, as if it had never existed.

"He's quite quick-witted."

Daoist Tianyu smiled and said:
"The Chaotic Body can bear all laws, so the Five Elements operate, harmonize Yin and Yang, regulate the void, and destroy the ten directions with almost no bottlenecks. You are in harmony with all twelve Great Dao Scriptures of Dongxuan Mountain."

Seeing Li Yuan's eyes light up, Daoist Tianyu paused slightly:
"However, the Patriarch said that the Great Dao cannot be transmitted without true transmission, and your cultivation is too shallow to receive the Great Dao Scripture..."

Li Yuan felt a pang of regret, but still bowed.

"Therefore, I bestow upon you a copy of the 'Northern Black Emperor's Netherworld Scripture' and a copy of the 'Southern Red Emperor's Fire Phoenix Scripture' to strengthen your foundation!"

Seeing his composure, Daoist Tianyu nodded slightly and spoke.

"Om~"

Words spoken are followed by laws.

Li Yuan felt the surrounding space expanding and spreading in all directions. The building was clearly only a few feet tall, but it seemed to be able to contain the vastness of the starry sea.

A wooden table lay across his body, and all sorts of flowing light overflowed from nothingness, intertwining on it and transforming into two great scriptures containing all sorts of exquisite meanings.

These are the Crimson Emperor Fire Phoenix Scripture and the Black Emperor Underworld Scripture!

Li Yuan was overjoyed. Counting the benefits for his inner disciple that he hadn't yet used, and the Five Extremes Scripture, he was already close to having four copies!
He was about to bow in thanks when he saw Daoist Tianyu raise his hand and grab, causing the void to crack open and wisps of terrifying energy to flow out, making his heart tremble.

'This is the Demon Realm…'

Having practiced the Demon Refining Technique for so long, Li Yuan keenly sensed where the energy was coming from.

Moreover, it is not one of the myriad minor realms surrounding the Heavenly Demon Realm, but the true Heavenly Demon Great Realm!

"I bestow upon you the Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword to enhance your abilities!"

With a crisp sound, Daoist Tianyu withdrew his hand, and a dark, unyielding ancient sword blank landed on the table.

The Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword!
Li Yuan's eyes lit up; this was the very Demon Refining Sword Embryo he had been longing for.

But Tianyu Daojun's hand did not fall; instead, he grabbed the void.

The principles of law converged and transformed into a black banner, as thick as an arm and about ten feet tall, which stood before the table.

"I bestow upon you a Great Luo Banner to protect your Niwan Palace!"

"Thank you Master!"

Li Yuan was not one to show his anger on his face, but when he bowed, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

What he has gained far surpasses that of the other disciples!
"The Demon-Refining Sword is vicious, and the Great Luo Banner is evil. Normally, only after refining a first-grade Great Pill can the weapon embryo be refined into a natal spiritual treasure. However, considering your diligent cultivation, I will give you a helping hand!"

Daoist Tianyu raised his hand and pointed a finger at Li Yuan's brow. The latter felt a violent tremor in his heart, and his five senses vanished in an instant.

When he came to his senses, he felt a sword and a banner appear in his dantian, trembling gently under the influence of magical power. "Thank you, Master!"

Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and paid his respects again.

"Before the Great Elixir is refined, do not touch these two treasures without permission."

Li Yuan naturally kept Tianyu Daojun's instructions in mind, but he also did not forget to ask about the two treasures.

"The Five Demon-Refining Swords are killing treasures that I obtained from my ancestor. They are extremely vicious and cannot be subdued without extraordinary spiritual power. You should cultivate diligently and nurture them every day. Once the Great Elixir is refined, you may be able to use them."

Daoist Tianyu reached out and took the tea from Li Yuan, but then put it down immediately:
"Your tea is really terrible!"

"what?"

Li Yuan was stunned.

Heaven have mercy, this is the Enlightenment Tea that Yu Huanzhen gave him before. Because he can't drink too much of it, he hasn't even taken a sip since he got it.

That's still not enough...

"Enough, enough, enough!"

Seeing his fear and trepidation, Daoist Tianyu shook his head, forced himself to take a sip, and then reached out and retrieved a white jade teapot from the void, placing it on the table.
"This tea is called Enlightenment, and it is the tea that I drink daily. It is taken from the 'Ancient Enlightenment Tea Tree,' which I obtained from the 'Great Realm of Immortal Sun' when I opened up the Guixu in the past..."

【Qianyang Jade Pot (15th Tier)】

Li Yuan felt a dazzling light in his eyes, and was almost blinded by the teapot.

This teapot is actually a near-Taoist treasure?!
"Thank you so much for the tea, Master!"

How could Li Yuan allow his master to pour tea? He hurriedly tried to take it, but the teapot felt as heavy as a star, and he couldn't lift it at all.

"This pot is made entirely of Qianyang jade, and its weight should be similar to that of an ordinary sun or star. You cannot lift it."

Daoist Tianyu chuckled, and the teapot rose up and poured out two cups of tea.

"Om~"

Just smelling the aroma of tea, Li Yuan felt his head throbbing, and his internal magic and spells were extremely agitated, as if they were about to burst out of his body.

"The Enlightenment Ancient Tea is a 'great medicine' formed from all the principles of Dharma, capable of strengthening the Dharma and enlightening the Way. After you consume it, then contemplate those two great scriptures!"

Tianyu Daojun picked up a cup and took a light sip.

"Yes!"

Li Yuan suppressed the agitation of his magical power, picked up the teacup with both hands, and when he took a sip, he felt his limbs, bones, and even his soul tremble and relax.

Like a gourmand who has been starving for centuries, suddenly taking a bite of a delicacy, an indescribable sense of pleasure and satisfaction filled his body and soul, leaving him stunned in place.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and without even appreciating how sweet the tea was, he bowed to his master and rushed to the two large scriptures on the wooden table.

"boom!"

Li Yuan felt two beams of divine light shoot into the depths of his soul, and he was instantly stunned.

In a daze, he saw all sorts of magnificent and wondrous sights, and two incomparably vast seas of divine runes, where the laws of law intertwined and flowed, extremely mysterious.

As he roamed the sea of ​​divine runes, he felt an unparalleled warmth and familiarity. Wherever he went, all kinds of laws and principles almost overwhelmed him like swallows returning to their nests.

He saw the Fire Phoenix soaring into the sky, the Black Tortoise spewing water, all sorts of true forms intertwined, and countless wondrous sights arising and disappearing.

"Om~"

It may have been a fleeting moment, or perhaps even less than a fleeting moment.

All the wondrous sights vanished, and in that final moment, he seemed to see two indescribable giants, majestic and holy, so powerful that he could not look directly at them.

A colossal god stands in the boundless black water, surrounded by the true forms of Xuanwu, black ape, and others.

A colossal god stands amidst a raging sea of ​​fire, accompanied by a fire phoenix and a heart-monkey, with endless flame essences dancing around him.

"Shh!"

When Li Yuan opened his eyes, the building was shrouded in mist.

Within his mind, boundless scriptures flowed, and within his dantian, two streams of magical power suddenly appeared: one dark and deep like water, and the other blazing like a phoenix in flames.

A cup of tea not only taught him two major scriptures, but also directly cultivated the corresponding magical power!

"and……"

With just a slight thought, Li Yuan felt all sorts of cries rising and falling in the Niwan Divine Realm, and the seven true forms were all cheering and jumping for joy, as if they had received a great fortune.

"how?"

Tianyu Daojun put down his teacup.

Li Yuan tried to recall the taste of the tea, but couldn't, yet his face was still full of amazement:
“Good tea!”

Tianyu Daojun smiled slightly. He came from a family of tea farmers and still loves tea.

"Why can this Enlightenment Tea help disciples cultivate superior magical power?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but look at the Qianyang teapot on the table, and was truly shocked.

Previously, in order to refine the Azure Emperor's magic power, he went to the Heavenly Market to purchase items, received a gift from Yu Zhen Huan, and finally went to the Thunder Tribulation to gather inspiration before he finally succeeded.

But this cup of tea actually allowed him to cultivate two top-grade magical powers: the Crimson Emperor and the Black Emperor!
"Enlightenment Tea has the effect of gathering divine patterns, but it is only effective the first time. You were able to directly refine two high-grade magic powers, partly because of this tea and partly because of the Chaos Body."

Tianyu Daojun knew his thoughts:
"Your cultivation is shallow; drinking more will do you no good."

"The disciple understands."

After taking one last, reluctant look at the Qianyang teapot, Li Yuan composed himself and did not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become an inner disciple.

He threw out all his doubts and previous guesses at once.

Tianyu Daojun, amidst the envious gaze of the man, would occasionally sip a cup of Enlightenment Tea and calmly answer his questions.

……

Woohoo~
In a dark void, a huge ship sails across the sky.

Daoist Fuyuan sat cross-legged at the highest point, looking down into the depths of Guixu. Occasionally, he could see streaks of unidentified light, appearing and disappearing.

The depths of Guixu contain endless wonders, but also boundless dangers; even he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Om~"

For a fleeting moment, the general knowledge sphere trembled slightly.

As Fu Yuan Daoist withdrew his gaze, before he could even pick it up, he felt the Tongshi Ball tremble, tremble several times, and tremble wildly.

"Ok?"

Daoist Fuyuan frowned slightly, opened the Communicative Sphere, and found that more than ten people, including Yun Heguang, had sent more than a hundred divine thought messages.

A thought stirred within him, and he opened each one one by one. Before long, his expression changed, showing shock, bewilderment, and sudden realization.

"The Chaos Sacred Body?!"

"Li Yuan, the disciple who has entered the inner circle, has nurtured the Chaotic Sacred Body..."

“Li Yuan… No wonder my master sent me down the mountain; he was afraid I would scheme against this brat…”

Shocked and bewildered, Daoist Fuyuan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.

'Master, you underestimate your disciple! Even if I had invited him to explore the Gate of Myriad Wonders, and hadn't acted on it yet, how could I possibly harm a fellow disciple?'

The above thought flashed through his mind. Daoist Fuyuan didn't know if his master felt anything. Looking at the messages of divine thought in the Sphere of Knowledge, his emotions churned.

"The Chaos Holy Body, no wonder Master came out of seclusion ahead of schedule..."

Fu Yuan Dao Ren subconsciously sensed the Great Luo Diagram.

Last time, he had browsed through Li Yuan's disciple database, which clearly recorded that he was ranked sixth in the true lineage, second only to Yu Wangxian and five others.

"The Chaos Sacred Body is supposedly inferior to Yu Wangxian's Innate Supreme Yang Body, but..."

"Can't open it?!"

Daoist Fu Yuan's eyelids twitched, but the Great Luo Diagram reacted much faster: "It seems that my Fu generation will have another true disciple besides Big Beard Yu."

He had no right to view it, naturally because according to the judgment of the Great Luo Record, Li Yuan was already a quasi-true disciple.

He naturally believed in the assessment that this supreme treasure, left behind by the patriarch, radiated across the twelve mountains of the Great Luo.

"The gate to all wonders."

Daoist Fuyuan casually flipped through the general knowledge orb.

"That place is only accessible to cultivators at or below the third realm, so I don't necessarily need to search for it within Dongxuan Mountain..."

"The Battle Rankings of the Various Realms also include many cultivators skilled in combat..."

"Kizaru has ruined me!"

……

……

The next morning, with Li Yuan bowing as he saw him off, Tianyu Daojun, having left behind two ounces of Enlightenment Tea, returned to the secluded bamboo forest to continue his secluded cultivation.

"Two ounces of Enlightenment Tea can theoretically make thirty cups of tea!"

Carefully putting away the Enlightenment Tea, Li Yuan felt extremely satisfied, feeling that his decision to collect spiritual treasures to change his innate talent was absolutely correct.

"The advancement of the Chaos Body requires the cultivation of the mysteries of various methods. I wonder if the blessing of the Weapon Mastery Talisman is still effective? It should be..."

Li Yuan muttered to himself, recalling the darkness he had never reached the top of.

"Is the end where the innate Dao body resides?"

With a guess in his mind, Li Yuan picked up the chubby little boy who was still kneeling on the ground: "You little thing, you've got some nerve, daring to stop even your master!"

Master Li greatly admired the little mouse's behavior of daring to warn despite its extreme fear, and believed it was worth cultivating.

"Squeak~"

The chubby boy was all bared his teeth and claws. He hadn't learned any of the original divine scripts or any language; all he could do was squeal and yell.

"Reward!"

Li Yuan pinched the little braid at the back of his head and handed him a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills for the first realm:
"You are a spirit beast that your master guided into the Dao, making you practically a disciple of Dongxuan Mountain. Once your soul is strong enough, I will exchange a True Form Diagram for you!"

Dongxuan Mountain does not accept disciples from other races, let alone people of other races.

This has nothing to do with Tianyu Daojun, but is a rule of the Great Luo Heaven Ancestor, which no one in the Twelve Mountains of Great Luo dares to disobey.

In the past, he would never have exchanged cultivation techniques for Little Mouse within Dongxuan Mountain, even if his life depended on it.

But things are different now.

Wild demons and spirit beasts enlightened by Daoist masters are not the same thing; their origins are different.

"Squeak~"

The chubby boy danced with joy, overjoyed.

"Go and play."

As soon as Li Yuan let go, the chubby boy reverted to his original form and crawled into the hole in the corner of the wall.

"..."

Li Yuan ignored it and instead glanced at the neighboring mountain.

Compared to the little mouse, the little female dragon was rather pathetic.

This Mirage Dragon Princess must have played with the General Knowledge Ball too much, as she knows a little bit about all sorts of random things. After sensing the aura of the Dao Lord's arrival, she kicked her legs and has been unconscious ever since.

"When she wakes up, she'll probably be so regretful she'll want to bang her head against the wall."

Li Yuan muttered to himself.

He was in such a good mood that even the most monotonous scenery seemed to be captivating. But he only lingered for a moment before swallowing the elixir and returning to his room to meditate.

He has gained too many benefits from the gestation of this Chaotic Body.

"Om~"

Within the dantian, various colors intertwined, and the magical powers of the three emperors were clearly distinct yet subtly resonated with each other. The most powerful Kunpeng magical power trembled and shrank into a corner.

Amidst the surrounding magical power, one can see a banner and a sword.

These two spiritual treasure embryos are quite extraordinary, occupying the very center of the dantian. Even the magical power of the Three Emperors has to retreat, allowing the Kunpeng's magical power to be absorbed by them.

[Refined Demon Immortal Sword Embryo (Rank 9)]

[...In the Great Luo Heaven, the Heavenly Dao Lord of the Universe, with his great supernatural powers, ventured into the Heavenly Demon Realm and, with his supremely yang and powerful magic, forged a sword embryo from the evil energy of countless demons...]

[Extremely fierce and malevolent, the embryo of a Dao treasure]
