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

Chapter 258 Vision
Li Yan took the storage bag and bowed to Fang Hong again to express his gratitude.

Then he left Cangjian Pavilion and flew straight towards the back mountain.

However, when Fang Hong saw Li Yan flying away on a sword, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This is!"

Fang Hong suddenly lost his voice.

He even thought he had seen it wrong.

But being able to fly on the sword at Wenjian Peak, coupled with Li Yan's flying sword speed, he must have entered the foundation-building stage without a doubt.

When he met Li Yan a few days ago, he was still in the Qi training stage.

But when I saw him again now, he had already broken into the foundation-building stage.

If it were someone else, it would probably take several months just to condense the foundation of Taoism and gather the spiritual sea.

It was unbelievable to him that Li Yan had achieved a breakthrough in such a short time.

"No wonder even the Grandmaster couldn't help but accept him as a disciple. Such spiritual talent is simply too amazing!"

"If I had a spiritual body, I wouldn't be stuck in the foundation-building stage. I would have condensed the golden elixir and become a golden elixir cultivator long ago!"

Fang Hong's eyes were full of envy.

He attributed the reason why Li Yan broke into the Foundation Establishment Stage so quickly to Li Yan's spiritual aptitude.

After all, Jiuhua Prefecture is just a small place, and it was the first time he met a cultivator with a spiritual body.

He had only heard about how mysterious spirits were before, but had never seen one with his own eyes.

And Li Yan's extraordinary talent for cultivation was naturally regarded by him as the original cultivation speed of his spiritual body.

Li Yan flew back to the Qingzhu Residence in the back mountain on his sword, and on the way he met Master Qingya who had just finished his training.

"I don't know if my disciple has returned from the trial in the cave world yet."

Patriarch Qingya was thinking about his new disciple, his heart was filled with joy, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He felt that even the disciples from the major sword sects might not be as talented as his new disciple Li Yan.

After he knew that Li Yan had switched to practicing the Taiyi Sword Canon, he set out for the Dongtian World to gain experience.

Now, I was curious about where Li Yan was now and whether his sword skills had improved.

So he expanded his spiritual consciousness and began to explore in all directions.

But in the next moment, astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"Foundation Building Stage!?"

Patriarch Qingya noticed Li Yan flying back to the mountain on a sword, and a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Unlike Fang Hong, he knew that Li Yan was practicing the Taiyi Sword Canon.

If you want to break through the foundation-building stage, you must condense the innate sword energy.

However, the difficulty of condensing the innate sword energy is more than ten thousand times higher than that of ordinary cultivators breaking through the foundation.

So at the beginning he even thought that if Li Yan could not condense the innate sword energy within thirty years, he would let Li Yan abandon his cultivation and turn to practice other skills to enter the foundation-building stage.

After all, although the Taiyi Sword Classic is good, if one cannot rely on it to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage and continue to improve one's realm, then it will ultimately be useless.

Although sword cultivators respect the way of the sword, their ultimate focus is still on the realm of cultivation.

If one's realm is not high enough, it is impossible to become a strong swordsman even if one has outstanding talent in swordsmanship.

He also wanted Li Yan to become a strong swordsman in the future, and he wanted to find elixirs for him to make up for the damage to his Nascent Soul. Naturally, he would not let Li Yan stay in the Qi training stage.

But he never expected that Li Yan could condense the innate sword energy so quickly and raise his realm to the foundation-building stage.

“There are probably only a few sword geniuses who have condensed the innate sword energy, even if you look at the entire Taiyi Sword Realm. I never thought that I would be so lucky to have such a disciple!”

Patriarch Qingya was excited. He watched Li Yan walk into Qingzhu Residence, but he did not disturb Li Yan or affect his practice.

As for such a genius in swordsmanship, he felt that even though he had previously become a Divine Transformation cultivator, he was not qualified to guide Li Yan in his cultivation.

The only thing he could do was to supply Li Yan with the cultivation resources he needed along the way.

Allow Li Yan to practice peacefully in Qingya Sect and continuously improve his realm.

……

Dongzhou.

Su Wan killed a total of twelve second-order early-stage monsters in Mingsha Cave.

It was not until the time for the sect's sword competition was about to end that he followed the original route, along the spatial node when he came, and relying on the power of the Lingxu Cave Heaven Map, he directly crossed countless billions of miles and returned to the Xingchen Sword Sect.

There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

The environment in the Mingsha Cave where she entered was extremely harsh, and fighting there was even more exhausting, so it was not a good place to be.

If she hadn't met Li Yan, she would have wasted a forbidden technique in Mingsha Cave, which would have been a huge loss.

"Jiuhua Prefecture... Unfortunately, this place is in Beizhou, too far from Dongzhou. It's not easy to go there. Otherwise, maybe I could pay a visit to Li Yan's master."

Su Wan was very much looking forward to the mysterious master that Li Yan mentioned. In her opinion, anyone who could teach a person like Li Yan must be one of the most powerful sword masters in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

If she could receive his guidance, it would definitely be a great help to her swordsmanship.

"Wan'er!"

While she was thinking, she saw a female cultivator in blue palace clothes waving and calling out to her with joy above her head.

This person is none other than her biological mother, Lan Ruoyi, the wife of Su Yu, the current leader of the Xingchen Sword Sect.

"Mother!"

Su Wan's eyes showed surprise, and she quickly flew away on her sword, landing on the clouds.

"Aren't you in seclusion? How come you have time to come here?"

Lan Ruoyi smiled, touched Mo Suwan's head, and said slowly: "I just came out of retreat, and the sect sword competition just ended, so I rushed over to pick you up."

"How was your trip? Was it going well?"

Su Wan heard Lan Ruoyi's question and whispered, "I encountered some trouble along the way, and I was almost forced to activate the forbidden technique!"

"Oh?"

Lan Ruoyi showed a trace of surprise in her eyes, and asked hurriedly: "What exactly is going on?"

Su Wan directly told Lan Ruoyi about her experience of entering the Mingsha Cave.

This naturally included Li Yan, who came to her rescue.

"How could there be such a powerful young swordsman in that remote place?"

When Lan Ruoyi learned the whole story, she felt a little surprised at Li Yan's strength.

As an elder of the Star Sword Sect, she had seen countless talented sword practitioners.

But according to Su Wan, Li Yan has already embarked on the path of becoming a sword master.

With just one sword, he cut down two Mingsha poisonous scorpions that almost forced Su Wan to use forbidden techniques.

Such a genius in swordsmanship can be regarded as a top-notch swordsman no matter which sword sect he belongs to.

Being born in that small Qingya clan, one is indeed somewhat obscure.

At this moment, Lan Ruoyi was already thinking about arranging for the sect's flying boat to go to Jiuhua Prefecture, pick up Li Yan, and accept him into the Xingchen Sword Sect.

Su Wan said, “Not only that, the technique he practices is the Taiyi Sword Canon.”

The Taiyi Sword Canon is a skill that is naturally treasured by a large sect like the Xingchen Sword Sect.

It’s just that the requirements for practicing this technique are too harsh.

Firstly, this technique is obscure and difficult to understand. Even if someone teaches it, not everyone can master it.

Secondly, even if one can master this technique, one must condense the innate sword energy to enter the foundation-building stage, which is why many people are discouraged. Now in Dongzhou, only the Chaos Sword Sect has a swordsman who practices this technique above the foundation-building stage, and he has now entered the Nascent Soul stage.

This Chaos Swordsman relied on the Taiyi Sword Canon and his own sword realm.

Even the fifth-stage alien monsters were no match for him, and many of them died at the hands of Chaos Swordsman.

He is quite famous in the entire Taiyi Sword World and is known as the Chaos Sword Master.

"Taiyi Sword Code!?"

Lan Ruoyi's expression suddenly changed.

As a cultivator of the Lianxu realm, she knew the mysteries of this sword technique.

Once Li Yan condenses his innate sword energy and advances to the foundation-building stage according to this method, if he has the guidance of a famous teacher, his future prospects will surely be limitless!
It's a pity that such a genius is only a disciple of a small sect.

Only by joining the Star Sword Sect can one develop his full potential.

When Su Wan saw the expression on Lan Ruoyi's face, she knew that she had the same thoughts as her.

A smile appeared on her face, and she slowly said, "Mother, you'd better not think about recruiting Li Yan. His Taiyi Sword Canon was taught by his master."

"His master is extremely mysterious. According to my guess, he must be a hidden swordsman."

"Although my Xingchen Sword Sect is great, I am still not qualified enough to compete for disciples from a sword master who practices the Taiyi Sword Canon."

A look of regret flashed in Lan Ruoyi's eyes when she heard this. Such a genius in swordsmanship had been overtaken by someone else.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely go to Jiuhua Prefecture to meet that hidden swordsman!"

Lan Ruoyi said in her heart.

She wanted to see how powerful the hidden swordsman who could teach a sword genius like Li Yan was!
……

Time flies, and two months have passed since Li Yan entered the foundation-building stage.

Small house under green bamboo.

The small green sword transformed from the sword base in Li Yan's dantian has now grown to three feet long.

Countless sword auras were accumulated around the small green sword, and were constantly being absorbed and exhaled by the small green sword.

"The pinnacle of foundation building."

"My cultivation has increased even faster than when I was in the Qi training stage."

Li Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes flashing slightly.

After he entered the foundation-building stage, he felt that his spiritual roots had improved significantly.

To this day, he has reached the peak of foundation building in just two months.

Moreover, his body is now full of spiritual energy and has reached the level of breaking through and entering the Golden Core Stage.

"I have condensed the innate sword energy into sword energy. Next, I can start to break through and enter the golden elixir stage."

"The Jindan stage of Taiyi Sword Canon is to fuse the sword foundation in the body with the natal flying sword, and use the natal flying sword as the Jindan."

"Once your natal flying sword is completed, you can enter the Golden Core realm. In the future, as your realm improves, the grade of your natal flying sword will also improve."

Li Yan's eyes turned slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Although the grade of the natal flying sword will increase as the cultivator's realm improves.

However, the initial grade of the natal flying sword is closely related to the quality of the cultivator's true essence.

At least a sword of magic weapon level must be used as the natal flying sword, so that the quality of the true essence condensed can reach the normal Jindan realm level.

Li Yan now has a low-grade sword in his storage bag, as well as the Flying Star Sword that the Qingya Patriarch had given him before.

But needless to say it was an inferior sword, the Feixing Sword was only at the level of a top-grade spiritual sword, and was not qualified to be his natal flying sword.

"However, in addition to these two flying swords, I have another flying sword in my hand!"

Li Yan stretched out his right hand and his eyes fell on the ink-black sword-shaped mark on his right wrist.

This is the ability that comes with the world of truth that he created with the Earth Soul Taoism. It brings the Mo Yuan Sword on his body in the world of truth to the Taiyi Sword World, originally just for the purpose of self-defense.

But after practicing the Taiyi Sword Classic, he thought of cultivating the Moyuan Sword as his natal flying sword.

The grade of Mo Yuan Sword is much more powerful than any spiritual weapon or magic weapon.

Using it as his natal flying sword, he naturally doesn't have to worry about the quality of his true energy.

Moreover, the Mo Yuan Sword had already been refined by him.

For Li Yan, it is equivalent to his natal flying sword.

Now, using the method of Taiyi Sword Classic, it is naturally easy to refine it as your natal flying sword.

He urged the Mo Yuan Sword to fall into his Dantian.

In an instant, all the sword energy in the Dantian was suppressed.

The green sword base he practiced seemed to have discovered some treasure. It trembled slightly and flew directly into the Mo Yuan Sword and began to merge with the Mo Yuan Sword.

Time passes day by day.

This day.

In the sky above the Qingya Sect, there were faint visions of countless flying swords.

The strange vision was brilliant and colorful, as if it was a supreme divine sword, circling above Qingya Sect.

Under this strange phenomenon, all the elders and disciples of Qingya Sect felt that there were some confusions or misunderstandings in their previous understanding of the way of the sword, and suddenly an epiphany came to them at this moment.

Many outer disciples even stepped directly into the first realm of swordsmanship, the basic realm of unity of body and sword. They were all extremely happy and cheered wildly.

As a result, some of the inner sect disciples also entered the realm of unity of body and sword.

Some true disciples who already had a natural talent for swordsmanship took the opportunity to achieve perfect unity of body and sword and became first-class sword candidates!
Even the elders in the foundation-building and golden elixir stages saw a slight improvement in their sword skills under the influence of this strange phenomenon.

"What happened?"

Wei Xu flew high into the sky on his sword, reached out to touch the magical sword in the air, his eyes full of surprise.

With his level of swordsmanship, he actually gained a lot of insights from this strange phenomenon.

Originally, he thought that his sword realm would remain at the minor level of Sword Qi and Thunder Sound for a long time.

But now, because of the vision of the divine sword, he is about to reach perfection and become a third-level sword candidate!
His heart suddenly moved, and he found a young monk in green robes beside him. He quickly bowed and shouted, "Greetings, Grandmaster!"

"Master, do you know what this divine sword phenomenon is all about?"

Wei Xu asked curiously.

In his opinion, only the knowledgeable Qingya Patriarch could know the truth.

Patriarch Qingya stood with his hands behind his back, high in the sky, his eyes lowered, his heart also full of doubts.

With his level of attainment, he was unable to discover the mystery behind this magical sword.

Originally he thought that a magical sword had descended to the world, but after searching around with his divine sense, he found nothing.

He shook his head: "I have never seen such a scene before. Perhaps it is because my Qingya Sect has reached an opportunity that has caused such a strange phenomenon in the world."

“Even the Grandmaster has never seen it!”

Wei Xu was shocked and even more curious about the origin of the strange phenomenon.

At this time, the leaders of all the peaks in the sect also flew up and surrounded Patriarch Qingya to discuss the origin of the magic sword phenomenon.

"No matter what happens, my Qingya Sect has benefited greatly. I have just checked and found that many disciples in the sect have already started learning the sword art."

"Among this generation of disciples of our Qingya Sect, there should be many powerful swordsmen!"

The faces of several Qingya Sect elders were filled with joy.

With so many outstanding disciples suddenly emerging in the sect, it is foreseeable that the strength of the disciples under Qingya Sect will show a blowout trend in the future.
