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

Chapter 269 High-Level Cave Heaven
"High-level cave heaven?"

Li Yan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Yes, being able to attract so much spiritual energy from the heaven and earth at once and raising the spiritual energy level of Jiuhua Prefecture to this level is definitely a sign of the advent of a high-level cave heaven."

"According to my guess, this is at least a sixth-level cave heaven, and it is more likely to be a seventh-level cave heaven!"

Qu Rui looked solemn as he explained to Li Yan.

The sixth-level cave heaven represents that there are powerful people at the Lianxu level inside, while the seventh-level cave heaven represents that there are powerful people at the Hedao level inside.

This kind of high-level cave is extremely rare in the entire Taiyi Sword Realm.

Once it comes out, if there is no strong person who has achieved the Dao to check and balance it, the alien monsters inside will soon come out of the cave and cause cholera.

At that time, the original mortals and low-level cultivators in this area will fall into dire straits.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

As his realm broke through the Spirit Transformation Stage, he was able to unleash 10% of the power of the Mo Yuan Sword.

Even though it is only one tenth of its power, the force it can exert is extremely terrifying.

According to his estimation, even if he was facing a strong man in the state of Hedao.

With the current power of Mo Yuan Sword, it is enough to compete with it.

Therefore, after learning that this was most likely the descent of a seventh-level cave heaven, he was not panicked at all.

"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Qu."

Li Yan nodded slightly, thinking about something.

Qu Rui continued, "When I brought my disciples here, I was driving a flying treasure boat that could carry people on long voyages."

"Right now, we can take the disciples of Qingya Sect to another place for resettlement. When Jiuhua Prefecture's cave world is pacified, you can return. This way, it will be safer."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan asked, "What about the mortals in Jiuhua Prefecture and the cultivators from other nearby sects?"

Qu Rui sighed slightly: "They can only leave it to fate."

"This is also a helpless move. There are only a handful of powerful Hedao masters in our Beizhou, and each of them is guarding a high-level cave world."

“If they rashly leave their original place and rush here, the alien tribes in the caves they were originally guarding will definitely raise an army and cause chaos.”

"We can only wait for them to pacify the cave world they were originally guarding, and then come to Jiuhua Prefecture to assess this new cave world after they have freed up their hands."

The Leisha tribe and the Yuexie tribe can even create their own cave world.

They occupied several large areas in Northern Continent as their foundation in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Even if other high-level caves are weaker, it is still easy for them to occupy the provincial capital as their foundation.

Therefore, if this high-level cave heaven were to come into the world, it would truly be ranked as a seventh-level cave heaven.

Not to mention Jiuhua Prefecture, even the entire Ziling Province.

Even the vast area where Ziling Province is located may become a habitat for alien monsters in the seventh-level cave.

Although Qu Rui is a sixth-rank swordsman, he has only achieved a small level of success in sword power, which is equivalent to a sixth-rank swordsman.

He doesn't even have the strength to pacify a sixth-level cave heaven on his own, let alone a seventh-level cave heaven?

And in his opinion, although Li Yan's swordsmanship level is higher than his, he is at most a sixth-level sword candidate who has reached the realm of great perfection of sword intent.

Although the sixth-level sword candidate has the strength to pacify a sixth-level cave heaven.

However, the grade of the cave world that is about to come out of Jiuhua Prefecture is unknown. What if it is discovered to be a seventh-grade cave world after it comes out?

Even Li Yan could die in Jiuhua Prefecture.

That's why he invited Li Yan to leave Jiuhua Prefecture temporarily and make a decision after the situation became clear.

After hearing this, Li Yan realized that Jiuhua Prefecture would not have any external aid in the short term.

Although they could leave with Qu Rui and avoid falling into danger.

But the mortals in Jiuhua Prefecture will definitely not be able to escape.

He bowed to Qu Rui and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Daoist Qu. I will leave Qingya Sect to Daoist Qu's care."

Qu Rui nodded: "That's right."

Then he suddenly reacted, because from what Li Yan said, it was clear that he was not planning to leave Jiuhua Prefecture with him.

He showed a surprised look on his face and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li is not leaving with us? Are you planning to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture?"

"good."

Li Yan's expression was calm, as peaceful as an ancient well.

Qu Rui showed a puzzled look in his eyes and tried to dissuade him, "Fellow Daoist Li, you know that this new cave world is most likely a seventh-order cave world."

"Even with your strength, you will still be in danger of death if you face the top masters inside!"

Li Yan didn't care at all: "Since I am in Jiuhua Prefecture, how can I sit back and watch those mortals and cultivators die without doing anything."

Qu Rui's heart was suddenly shocked.

He didn't expect that Li Yan risked his life to stay here just to protect those mortals and low-level cultivators.

Upon hearing this, Jiang He and others looked at Li Yan with admiration in their eyes.

They all thought that Li Yan was taking a huge risk by staying here.

Little did he know that for Li Yan today.

Even if it was a strong man in the seventh level cave heaven, he might not be unable to deal with it.

It looks extremely dangerous, but in fact it is as steady as an old dog.

Qu Rui was silent for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Li Yan, saying, "As an elder of the Wuhui Sword Sect, I have my own mission, so I cannot accompany you, fellow Taoist."

“But please rest assured, I will definitely take good care of Qingya Sect and will never let you have any worries!
Jiang He and others also bowed to Li Yan to show their respect.

Now that disaster is imminent, they have brought a group of talented disciples from the Wuhui Sword Sect here, and they need to bring these talented disciples back to the sect as soon as possible.

Therefore, he did not stay with Li Yan any longer and said goodbye to Li Yan directly.

Afterwards, Qu Rui went to Qingya Sect to summon the talented disciples of Wuhui Sword Sect, preparing to return to Wuhui Sword Sect.

Jiang He went directly to find Patriarch Qingya and informed him of the news that a high-level cave heaven was about to come into the world.

Patriarch Qingya also immediately understood the seriousness of the matter.

When he learned that the Wuhui Sword Sect was willing to take the Qingya Sect away with them, he was immediately overjoyed.

But he knew what would happen if he stayed here.

However, when they learned that Li Yan was not planning to leave with them and wanted to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture, they suddenly became anxious.

He knew that Li Yan had terrifying talent and would wait for him to get through this disaster.

I think it won’t be long before I can enter the Refining Void Stage and the Hedao Stage.

If we lose money in Jiuhua Prefecture, it will be a huge loss!
He didn't want such a talented disciple like himself to die in Jiuhua Prefecture.

So he prepared to persuade Li Yan.

It was only after he learned that Li Yan was trying to protect the mortals and low-level cultivators in Jiuhua Prefecture that he was unwilling to leave.

But he stopped suddenly.

Because he remembered that the human race’s Holy Emperor Shuo Mingxi died to protect the human race.

In his eyes, Li Yan is the reincarnation of Shuo Mingxi.

Now, in order to protect the mortals and low-level cultivators of Jiuhua Prefecture, they have chosen to stay here. How could he possibly persuade them?

Thinking of this, he sighed deeply and thought silently in his heart: "With my current strength at the early stage of the Spiritualization Realm, even if I stay in Jiuhua Prefecture, I can't help Li Yan, but will become a burden instead." "Besides, Li Yan has great luck and has mastered the Taiyi Sword Canon. He will definitely not die in Jiuhua Prefecture."

At this moment, Patriarch Qingya could only comfort himself in this way.

Just the next moment.

His mind suddenly flashed back to the oath he made when he aspired to become a sword cultivator and pacify the cave world, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Lv Qingya, when did you become this kind of person?"

The look in Patriarch Qingya's eyes gradually became firm.

“Since my disciple intends to protect Jiuhua Mansion and resist the arrival of high-level cave heavens.”

"As the founder, how can I retreat?"

Patriarch Qingya made a decision. He took Jiang He and flew to Qingya Sect to summon all the elders and disciples of Qingya Sect.

At this time, the disciples and elders of Qingya Sect had just experienced the vision of the divine sword and were comprehending the sword techniques within the sect.

But Patriarch Qingya suddenly arrived and gathered them all together.

Then he informed him of the upcoming arrival of a high-level cave heaven.

Everyone was shocked by the news.

"A high-level cave heaven is about to come. Although Wuhui Sword Sect has agreed to take our disciples to settle there, your relatives and friends in Jiuhua Prefecture do not have such good luck."

"If we all leave, the cave monsters in Jiuhua Prefecture will come out of the cave and cause chaos. Then this place will be a river of blood."

"So I will lead the Qingya Sect to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture and continue to guard these cave worlds!"

The Qingya Patriarch did not mince words and spoke sternly to the elders and disciples of the Qingya Sect.

Qu Rui and Jiang He, who were standing by, also showed surprised expressions on their faces.

They originally thought that Patriarch Qingya summoned all the cultivators in order to board the Wuhui Sword Sect's flying treasure boat.

But no one expected that Patriarch Qingya would lead the Qingya Sect to stay and continue to guard the caves in various places?
Doesn't he know that if he does this, when the high-level cave heaven comes, Qingya Sect will most likely face a catastrophic disaster!

The elders and disciples of Qingya Sect had different expressions when they heard this. Some of them had families in Jiuhua Prefecture, so naturally they were unwilling to abandon their families and leave.

Some have no worries and certainly don't want to stay and die.

But since Patriarch Qingya has made up his mind, how could he be easily shaken?

He said in a deep voice to the elders and disciples: "I know that some of you may want to leave, but I will not force you."

"I can ask several elders from the Wuhui Sword Sect to take you away from Jiuhua Prefecture."

"But after you leave, you will no longer be my Qingya Sect's disciples!"

"Ancestor!"

Several Jindan elders looked frightened. They did not expect that Patriarch Qingya would speak so decisively.

Patriarch Qingya continued, "My Qingya Sect is to become a top sword sect, and we will not tolerate disciples who are afraid of death!"

Everyone in Qingya Sect was silent.

Wei Xu spoke first: "Grandmaster, I wish to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture."

Yan Jing also laughed and said, "Disciple is also willing to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture!"

As the two spoke, more and more Jindan elders began to express their opinions.

Finally, only two Jindan elders spoke with difficulty: "Grandmaster, this disciple wants to leave."

After saying that, the two of them stood there with their heads down.

They had all just entered the Jindan stage not long ago. Although they had feelings for the Qingya Sect, they were unwilling to follow the Qingya Sect and perish in Jiuhua Prefecture.

That is at least a sixth-level cave.

With their strength, if they encounter the alien beasts in there, they will surely die in an instant.

Following the lead of the two Jindan elders, some foundation-building elders and Qi-refining disciples also spoke up and expressed their desire to leave.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the eyes of Patriarch Qingya. He waved his hand and let these people board the flying boat of Wuhui Sword Sect.

Then he said to these people in a cold voice: "From today on, you are no longer disciples of Qingya Sect."

When these people heard this, looks of shame appeared on their faces.

But they have already made their decision, so they won't come down again.

Qu Rui sighed, and after bidding farewell to the Qingya Patriarch, he piloted the flying treasure boat and left the Qingya Sect.

In the end, only the Qingya Patriarch and the Qingya Sect disciples who were determined to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture to guard the cave heaven were left.

With the departure of Wuhui Sword Sect, the news that a high-level cave heaven had descended into the world in Jiuhua Prefecture gradually spread.

In just one or two days, some sects in Ziling Province with a keen sense of smell, the strong men in the sect began to lead their core disciples to escape quickly.

As for ordinary disciples, their flying boats had limited carrying capacity and could not bring them along at all, so they could only be left in Jiuhua Prefecture to fend for themselves.

They all knew that Jiuhua Prefecture had become a dangerous place.

If you continue to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture, you will perish along with Jiuhua Prefecture.

Of course, these low-level cultivators in Jiuhua Prefecture are not without a glimmer of hope.

Some clever people, knowing that they could not escape, simply planned to hide in low-level caves.

In this way, even if a high-level cave heaven comes to the world, the alien monsters inside may not notice them hiding in the low-level cave heaven in a short period of time.

However, as the elders from various sects left.

The Qi-cultivating cultivators and foundation-building cultivators who stayed in Jiuhua Prefecture thought that without the suppression of high-level cultivators, evil thoughts began to emerge in their hearts, and killings occurred everywhere.

But then they were surprised to find that there were still many powerful people from the Qingya Sect left in Jiuhua Prefecture.

After beheading the monks who were the main culprits of the evil, the troubles among the monks were quickly quelled.

The cave was originally guarded by powerful men from various sects. Due to the departure of the powerful men from various sects, the monsters inside also began to pour out of the cave world under the guidance of a mysterious force.

He wanted to start a killing in Jiuhua Prefecture.

But before they could act arrogantly for long, they were surrounded and killed by monks from the Qingya Sect who arrived.

Within a few days, the chaos in Jiuhua Prefecture caused by the impending arrival of a high-level cave heaven was quelled by the monks of Qingya Sect.

But they all knew that this peace was only temporary.

When the high-level cave heaven comes to the world, if no one stops it, everything will come to nothing.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, the Qingya Patriarch also made it clear that there was an unparalleled swordsman in his own Qingya Sect.

When the high-level cave heaven comes to the world, the peerless swordsman in Qingya Sect will take action.

If the high-level cave heaven can be suppressed, Jiuhua Prefecture will be safe.

This also made the monks of Qingya Sect feel relieved.

Some of them originally thought that since Patriarch Qingya dared to stay in Jiuhua Prefecture, he must have a trick up his sleeve, but now they understand what it is.

"When did our Qingya Sect have a peerless swordsman?"

"Could it be that the Elder Lianxu from the Wuhui Sword Sect didn't leave?"

Everyone in the Qingya Sect was filled with curiosity about the peerless swordsman that Patriarch Qingya mentioned.

However, they also knew that when the high-level cave heaven came into the world, the peerless swordsman in the sect would certainly take action, and then they would be able to find out the truth.
