The Weird Way of Immortality: My Taoism Progress in One Day a Year

Chapter 104 Secret
Venerable Qing Hong extended his hand to invite Li Yan to sit down, then smiled and asked Li Yan: "I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li has come all the way from the Northern Frontier to find me. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Li Yan did not beat around the bush and answered directly: "I would like to ask Daoist Fellow Qing Hong to help me set up a Ju Yuan formation."

Venerable Qing Hong's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied: "Arranging the Ju Yuan Formation is simple. But I also have something that I would like to ask for help from Fellow Daoist Li."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qinghong, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse."

Venerable Qing Hong chuckled and said, "I have just created a new Xuan-level formation. I don't know how powerful it is yet. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Li is willing to enter the formation and test the power of the formation for me?"

"If Fellow Daoist Li is willing to help, then you only need to provide the materials for the Ju Yuan Formation, and I can set it up for you."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Venerable Qinghong's plan made him feel that it was a little bit complicated.

This was obviously not just to test the power of the formation, but more likely to test his strength.

Venerable Qing Hong does not have a bad reputation in the Zhongzhou region, so why do we need to test his strength?
Li Yan couldn't figure it out, but if Venerable Qinghong really had other purposes, it would be exposed sooner or later, so he didn't care too much.

After all, with his strength at the True Lord realm, he is comparable to the Yuanshen realm Yuanzun in the Five Realms, so he doesn't need to worry about Venerable Qinghong harming him with the formation.

Even if there really is a conspiracy, he can break it with force.

So Li Yan did not hesitate and replied directly: "Daoyou Qinghong, I am willing to try the formation."

"Thank you very much, Brother Li."

Venerable Qinghong smiled and bowed to Li Yan.

next moment.

Li Yan suddenly felt that the surrounding space seemed to begin to change under the influence of some force.

"Is this the power of the formation master's formation?"

He did not resist this force and allowed it to carry him away from the hall.

Then he appeared in a group of mountains outside Qingyu Valley.

The area within a radius of ten miles is all located within a formation.

It was like a huge cover that covered him.

"Fellow Daoist Li, my formation is of the middle level of the Mysterious Stage. It is a formation that can trap the enemy."

"If attacked, not only can it absorb the attack force, but it can also be used for its own benefit and rebound the damage. Fellow Daoist, please be careful when breaking the formation."

The voice of Reverend Qing Hong lingered within the formation.

Li Yan didn't care.

Venerable Qing Hong's formation for trapping enemies might indeed be quite impressive, but that was only relative to a cultivator at the Yuan Tai realm.

He looked up at the sky, stretched out his right index finger, mobilized a magical power, and lightly pointed at the sky formation shield.

The vitality of heaven and earth that was originally mobilized by the power of the formation was now directly condensed by Li Yan into the shape of a three-meter-thick green finger.

The fingers silently, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly, touched the silver light shield.

"boom!"

A huge roar was heard, and the power of the formation was completely unable to compete with the green finger condensed by Li Yan.

Directly hit by the green finger, the enemy-trapping formation was instantly broken.

The pupils of Venerable Qinghong who was outside shrank, and he looked at Li Yan with surprise in his eyes.

"Primordial Spirit Realm Yuanzun!?"

He exclaimed, shocked by the strength displayed by Li Yan.

When he first saw Li Yan, he realized that Li Yan's strength was extraordinary.

Originally, it was believed that Li Yan was a hidden powerful being in the late Yuantai realm, but it was impossible to confirm, so the idea of a test formation was proposed.

If Li Yan is really in the late Yuantai realm, then their team might be able to add another great general.

But he didn't expect that the strength shown by Li Yan was far beyond his imagination.

He easily broke his formation that was enough to trap even a person in the late Yuantai realm.

Such strength is at least the same as that of Patriarch Tianyuan, a peak master of the tenth level of Yuantai Realm.

It is not impossible to even say that he is a Yuan Zun in the Yuanshen realm. "Daoyou Qinghong, have I completed the test formation?"

Li Yan flew to the side of Venerable Qinghong with a half-smile on his face.

He knew that Venerable Qing Hong's real purpose was to test his strength.

But the specific reason is unknown.

Reverend Qing Hong understood his strength, and any purpose he had should be exposed.

"nature!"

Venerable Qing Hong's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, are you really from the Northern Frontier Region?"

“Is this natural?”

Li Yan looked at Venerable Qing Hong calmly, and then said: "Daoyou, you are testing my strength. What is the important matter? Just tell me directly."

Venerable Qinghong was not surprised that Li Yan guessed his purpose.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied solemnly: "I hope Fellow Daoist Li will not be offended. The reason I offended you was to discuss with you an important matter concerning the Five Regions!"

"Oh?"

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he said slowly, "What on earth is it that made Daoist Fellow Qing Hong go to so much trouble?"

"Does Fellow Daoist Li know about the disaster of vital energy a thousand years ago?"

Li Yan's eyes showed a trace of surprise, and he replied: "Why did you bring this up, Daoist friend? Could it be that the big event you are talking about is related to this disaster of vital energy?"

"That's right!"

Venerable Qing Hong's eyes revealed a hint of sternness, and he nodded vigorously and said, "Daoyou, do you know what caused the disaster of vital energy?"

Li Yan shook his head, his eyes became very bright, and he slowly said: "Could it be that Daoist Fellow Qing Hong knows?"

"Of course I know. Not only that, my master, Tianque Yuanzun, was the one who presided over that Yuan Qi disaster!"

Venerable Qing Hong’s words shocked Li Yan’s heart.

"Tianque Yuanzun!?"

Li Yan looked at Venerable Qing Hong in surprise.

Yuanzun is a respectful title for a master in the Yuanshen realm, comparable to the True Lord and Demon King in the Realm. His level is completely different from that of Yuantai.

But Tianque Yuanzun presided over the disaster of Yuanqi?
This was something Li Yan couldn't understand.

People in the Five Realms rely on vital energy for cultivation. A lower level of vital energy means that it will be much more difficult for them to break through the bottleneck.

Isn't this just cutting off your own path?
Moreover, by doing this, Tianque Yuanzun is making enemies with all the powerful people in the Five Realms, which is courting death.

"I know what Fellow Daoist Li is thinking, but things are actually not that simple."

"The disaster of vitality is naturally a great calamity for our Five Realms."

“But that’s not true for everyone.”

"Aren't you curious, fellow Daoist, where did the disappeared vital energy go after the vital energy catastrophe?"

Li Yan's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.

Although he had guessed it long ago, it was just a guess after all.

Now, with the reminder from Venerable Qinghong, there is a clear answer.

"Eastern Great Region!"

Li Yan slowly uttered the name.

The Dongji Great Region is a large, blockaded region.

Even a strong person in the Yuantai realm would find it difficult to break through the blockade and enter.

Li Yan originally thought that this blockade was done to prevent the disaster of vitality from happening in the Dongji region, so he did this.

But now there is another answer.

Venerable Qing Hong nodded and said, "Daoyou's guess is correct. Now most of the heaven and earth energy in the Five Realms has gathered in the Great Dongji Realm."
