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

Chapter 261 Wild Dog
The sect in Ziling Prefecture is called Luoxia Sect.

The visitor to Luoxia Sect was a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage named Baiyu.

He was followed by many high-level cultivators from various sects in Ziling Province.

After seeing Chen Yuanying, he said directly to Chen Yuanying: "Sect Master Chen, I heard that your Qingya Sect has had a series of magical sword phenomena appear in recent days. This is a sign of the prosperity of the Qingya Sect. It is really cause for celebration!"

"Senior Bai Yu, you are too kind. It is just a coincidence and I am blessed by God."

Chen Yuanying's heart trembled.

He was well aware that Bai Yu came here in person, certainly not just to congratulate Qingya Sect.

As expected, Bai Yu's next sentence exposed his purpose.

"I would like to take a look around Qingya Sect and share in the good fortune. I wonder if Sect Master Chen agrees?"

Bai Yu asked Chen Yuanying with a smile.

Chen Yuanying took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "It is an honor for our Qingya Sect that Senior Bai wants to travel in our Qingya Sect.

"Except for the forbidden area in the back mountain where our ancestor is, and the martial arts towers on each peak of our sect, seniors can go to other places. How about I lead the way for Senior Chen?"

He remembered what Patriarch Qingya had said, and understood that the Luoxia Sect was powerful and had a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge, so it would be difficult for him to refuse.

As long as it does not involve the sect's secrets or forbidden areas, they can be allowed to visit Qingya Sect.

"No need, we just want to take a look, so we won't bother you, Sect Master Chen."

After Bai Yu finished speaking, he did not stop and flew up.

The other cultivators followed closely behind, transforming into streaks of light and flying towards various places in Qingya Sect. At the same time, they spread their divine sense and continued to explore and search everywhere.

Chen Yuanying looked at the cultivators flying in all directions and fleeing to various places in Qingya Sect, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.

"Well, with the Patriarch in charge of the sect, these people won't act recklessly."

Chen Yuanying sighed.

These visiting monks are all led by Bai Yu.

Bai Yu not only came from Luoxia Sect, but he was also a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, they did not take him, the leader of Qingya Sect who was only in the Jindan stage, seriously at all.

The cultivators who followed Bai Yu also relied on Bai Yu's strength and status, so they dared to be so unscrupulous.

So even though the Qingya Sect cultivators knew that these people had bad intentions, they had no way of doing anything to them.

He could only continue to preside over this Immortal Gate Conference.

As long as they can win the first place in this Immortal Sect Conference, it will be of great benefit to the future development of Qingya Sect.

Moreover, the strength of his young disciples from Qingya Sect has greatly improved due to the two divine sword visions.

The face that Qingya Sect lost from Bai Yu can be regained from the low-level disciples in this Immortal Sect Conference.

……

"Senior Bai Yu, we have been searching for a long time, but we haven't found anything special in Qingya Sect."

"It's the same here, junior!"

"Could it be that the Qingya Sect doesn't have any rare treasures at all?"

A group of high-level monks who were searching in Qingya Sect turned back and reported to Bai Yu.

They used their spiritual thoughts not only to search the surface, but also underground, but still found nothing unusual.

Bai Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said firmly: "The appearance of the divine sword twice in a row cannot be groundless."

"Since there is no trace of the Qingya Sect on the surface, it is possible that it is in the back mountain where the Qingya Patriarch is!"

They also knew that the back mountain was the residence of the Qingya Patriarch.

So at first they just looked for anything unusual inside the Qingya Sect, and did not enter the back mountain to offend the majesty of the Qingya Patriarch.

But now, within the Qingya Sect, the only place that has not been explored is the back mountain where the Qingya Patriarch lives.

If the Qingya Sect really has any rare treasures, they can only be in the back mountain.

"This is troublesome. The back mountain is a forbidden area. If I barge in rashly, I'm afraid I'll really fall out with the Qingya Sect!"

Some monks frowned slightly, not knowing what to do.

Although they had already searched for the whereabouts of the rare treasure in Qingya Sect, they had obtained Chen Yuanying's consent after all, so they had to retain some face between them.

But the back mountain is a forbidden area, no matter which sect it is, no one will be allowed to enter.

However, the ancestor of Qingya Sect was quite powerful. He was a high-level cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage and was extremely powerful.

It is a level higher than Bai Yu’s current level.

If they break into the back mountain and offend Patriarch Qingya, Baiyu will not be able to protect them.

The eyes of the cultivators from various sects flickered slightly, and for a moment they did not dare to move rashly, and all looked at Bai Yu.

It was Bai Yu who proposed to let Qingya Sect hold the Immortal Sect Conference this time, and invited them to search for rare treasures in Qingya Sect. Anyone who obeyed the order was promised benefits.

Luoxia Sect is not only the strongest sect in Ziling Province.

It is even number one in several nearby states.

They were afraid of the power of Luoxia Sect, so they had to obey orders.

But it is obviously impossible to let them confront Qingya Patriarch directly.

Bai Yu saw this and showed a stern look in his eyes. He said slowly, "The talents and treasures of heaven and earth belong to those who are capable."

"Although the Qingya Patriarch is strong, what does our Luoxia Sect have to fear?"

"If they don't know what's best for them, then it's the Qingya Sect colluding with the Dongtian aliens to cause chaos in the human race. They were discovered by our Luoxia Sect's God-Transforming Ancestor, who suppressed and destroyed them with force!"

When Bai Yu said this, the cultivators from various sects were all shocked.

They heard the murderous intent in Bai Yu's tone, and it was obvious that Luoxia Sect had no intention of letting the matter go.

Perhaps from the very beginning, he had the idea of destroying the Qingya Sect if it did not know what was best for it.

The appearance of two magical sword phenomena in succession in Qingya Sect must have touched the mind of the god-transforming ancestor in Luoxia Sect.

One cultivator's eyes flickered as he asked tentatively, "If the Qingya Sect's ancestor attacks in anger..."

Bai Yu smiled slightly and said, "A mere late Nascent Soul stage, could he still be a match for my ancestor?"

Sure enough!

After receiving Bai Yu's response, the monks from various sects were certain.

They also understood that the ancestor of Luoxia Sect who had achieved the state of incarnation should have already arrived at Qingya Sect, but was hiding behind the scenes and did not show up on his own initiative.

They were just pawns in the open.

If Patriarch Qingya allowed them to explore the back mountain, there would naturally be no need for the Luoxia Sect's Divine Transformation cultivator to show up.

They appeared to be friendly with each other on the surface, took the rare treasures and left.

And if Patriarch Qingya chooses to resist, he will inevitably face the God-Transforming Patriarch of Luoxia Sect.

By then, the demise of the Qingya Sect will be imminent.

Even the ancestor of Huashen has been dispatched, which shows that the Luoxia Sect is determined to obtain the unknown rare treasure in the Qingya Sect and will not allow anyone to get their hands on it.

Among these monks, some also gave up the little thoughts they had.

They originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to see if they could fish in troubled waters and seize the rare treasure.

But now there was a Divine Transformation cultivator watching behind them, and no one dared to risk angering a Divine Transformation cultivator by doing anything tricky.

"Enter the back mountain!"

With Bai Yu taking the lead, all the cultivators flew directly into the back mountain. Each of them had a tense expression, as if they were already prepared for Patriarch Qingya to stop them.

But after a moment, they were surprised to find that there was no obstruction.

"It seems that Patriarch Qingya is afraid of Patriarch Mo of Luoxia Sect and is planning to swallow his anger!"

The cultivators from various sects felt relieved. They were originally worried about how to respond if Patriarch Qingya chose them as his opponents.

With the strength of the late Nascent Soul stage, how could these Jindan cultivators stop him except Bai Yu?

Although Luoxia Sect's God Transformation Stage Patriarch Mo was behind the scenes, it was still unclear whether he could rescue them in time. But now such a large group of cultivators entered the back mountain, and Patriarch Qingya did not react at all, as if he had tacitly allowed them to search in the back mountain.

In that case, there is no need to worry at all.

But Bai Yu's expression changed and he felt inexplicably uneasy.

"Could it be that Patriarch Qingya has taken the rare treasure and left Jiuhua Prefecture?"

He thought about it in his mind, but quickly shook his head, rejecting the idea.

Ever since learning about the second appearance of the Qingya Sect's divine sword, their sect's Patriarch Mo began to monitor Jiuhua Prefecture to prevent Patriarch Qingya from escaping with the treasure.

"With Patriarch Mo in charge of Jiuhua Prefecture, even if Patriarch Qingya is at the late Nascent Soul stage, there is absolutely no way he can leave Jiuhua Prefecture with the treasure!"

“Moreover, there is no fourth-order cave heaven in Jiuhua Prefecture. Even if this Qingya Patriarch wants to hide in the cave heaven world and avoid being hunted down by Mo Patriarch, he has no chance.”

Each cave world has different grades. Once a cultivator's realm exceeds this grade, he cannot enter.

Therefore, in the Taiyi Sword Realm, there are many examples of low-level cultivators escaping into the cave world to avoid being hunted down by high-level cultivators.

But Patriarch Qingya no longer has this opportunity.

After thinking this over, Bai Yu decided to ask the monks from various sects to search the back mountain as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

In the Qingya Sect, Wei Xu had a fierce look in his eyes when he saw Bai Yu and a group of cultivators breaking into the back mountain.

"These people are really going too far!"

There were also a dozen Jindan elders beside Wei Xu, and their faces also showed indignation.

They have learned the secrets of the Immortal Gate Conference and are aware of the dangers involved, so they have now woken up from their retreat and are ready to deal with the disaster facing the Qingya Sect.

"They have already violated a taboo by stepping into the back mountain. If the ancestor shows up to stop them, we will follow him and teach them a lesson, so that they know that our Qingya Sect is not easy to bully!"

"This divine sword phenomenon is both an opportunity and a disaster for our Qingya Sect. Other sects are fine, but the Luoxia Sect has a Divine Transformation cultivator in charge, which is beyond the ability of our Qingya Sect to resist."

The practitioners of Qingya Sect were discussing the matter.

Although Bai Yu had already committed a taboo by leading the cultivators from various sects, after all, Patriarch Qingya was in the back mountain and he must be aware of the actions of these cultivators.

If the ancestor does not take action, it will be difficult for them to take the initiative to attack these cultivators.

Bai Yu and the monks from various sects searched everywhere in the back mountain.

It didn't take long before they searched all the places except the small house in the bamboo forest where Li Yan lived and the cave where Patriarch Qingya lived, which were both protected by formations and they could not enter.

"Senior Bai Yu? Should we continue investigating?"

A monk asked cautiously.

The two places in the back mountain that are restricted by formations are most likely the Taoist temples of Qingya Patriarch.

If they force their way in, it would really be a catastrophe.

"check!"

Bai Yu looked at the vortex of spiritual energy that was constantly rotating above the bamboo forest residence, absorbing the spiritual energy of the nearby heaven and earth, his eyes full of burning heat.

These Jindan cultivators couldn't see anything and thought that it was Patriarch Qingya who was practicing in it.

But as a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he knew clearly that even if a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage practiced, it would be impossible for him to attract a spiritual energy vortex of such a scale.

This is almost equivalent to the amount of spiritual energy that a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage can attract after breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage!
“It seems that perhaps the Qingya Patriarch is here, hoping to use the power of the rare treasure to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage. If he really succeeds, it’s hard to say what the result will be.”

“But it’s too late to break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage now!”

Bai Yu's mind moved, and he formed a sword finger in his hand, immediately activating a flying sword, which split into dozens of sword energies. The sound of thunder resounded in the air, and he was about to attack the formation restriction above Qingzhu Residence.

As long as the formation is broken and Ancestor Qingya is interrupted from breaking through to the God Transformation stage, and Ancestor Mo behind him takes action, then the rare treasure can be obtained.

In the future, he might have a chance to break through to the God Transformation Stage with the help of rare treasures.

"How dare you attack my disciple's cave!"

At this moment, an angry voice resounded through the sky.

In the void behind Bai Yu and the others, a green light suddenly appeared and shot towards Bai Yu, trying to destroy the flying sword and dozens of sword energies in the formation under their feet.

In just a moment, dozens of sword energies were dissipated, and Bai Yu's flying sword was also severely damaged, making a miserable sound and was knocked back.

Bai Yu was first hit back and let out a muffled groan.

Then he felt a familiar aura behind him.

He immediately turned around and looked back, looking at the Qingya Patriarch who was emitting a powerful aura, with fear in his eyes.

"A Divine Transformation Monk!?"

Bai Yu looked stunned.

At this moment, he actually felt an aura from Patriarch Qingya, similar to that of Patriarch Mo in his own sect, which was unique to a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Could it be that Patriarch Qingya had already achieved a breakthrough long ago?

Then what is this vortex of spiritual energy under his feet?
He naturally didn't believe what Patriarch Qingya had just said about the disciple's cave.

Patriarch Qingya himself was only in the late Nascent Soul stage. How could he possibly teach a disciple who was about to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage so quickly?
His heart moved and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

A rare treasure!

He looked down at his feet with even more burning eyes.

Yes, the divine sword vision appeared twice in succession in Qingya Sect, which means that the strange treasure has not yet been officially born, so there is a spiritual energy vortex of this scale.

Patriarch Qingya said that it was his disciple's cave, probably to cover up this point.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the sky and shouted, "Grandmaster, I have found the whereabouts of the treasure. Please come and take it!"

In an instant, the sky was suddenly filled with red light, and an old man with a white beard and a black robe slowly descended from the sky. The surrounding void seemed to be shocked by the old man's pressure and began to ripple.

Under the strong pressure of the old man in black robe, the pressure of the Qingya Patriarch was like a small boat in the lake, swaying constantly in the strong wind.

When the monks from various sects saw this, they were all shocked.

They recognized the old man in black robe as the incarnation cultivator from Zixia Sect, Patriarch Mo.

With the presence of Patriarch Mo, Bai Yu finally calmed down.

“It turns out that he is not a deity.”

"No wonder you didn't attack me directly!"

He also recognized at this moment that although the aura of Patriarch Qingya exceeded the scope of Nascent Soul and was somewhat similar to the God Transformation, he was not the God Transformation after all.

At this moment, under the pressure of Ancestor Mo, he could only hold on with all his might and was unable to resist at all.

"Monk of Transformation!"

Patriarch Qingya’s eyes were gloomy.

The worst result he had expected still happened. The Zixia Sect's ancestor Mo was right behind Bai Yu and the others. He suddenly appeared in the world just for the rare magic sword on Li Yan's body.

Although he has recovered some of his divine power after recuperation, he is still not good enough in front of a true divine cultivator.

"Is it possible that we can only ask Li Yan to hand over the rare magic sword?"

Patriarch Qingya was unwilling to accept this.

He finally met a disciple like Li Yan who has a bright future. He may even have the opportunity to enter the realm of refining emptiness in the future.

If I lose the rare magic sword and damage my own path, I don’t know what will happen to me.

"Hand over the rare treasure, and I will let your Qingya Sect live."

Patriarch Mo's eyes were deep, like stagnant water.

He could see that Patriarch Qingya was extremely powerful.

But in front of him, there will be no chance of resistance. Only by handing over the rare treasure can one have a chance to save his own life and the entire Qingya Sect.

Just at this moment, a voice containing a hint of anger suddenly sounded under the feet of the cultivators.

The sound was not loud, but it was heard by everyone present.

"Where did this wild dog come from? It's barking at the door of my cave."
