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

Chapter 272 Calm down
"The reason why Li Yan is so powerful is probably because he has activated the power of the peerless divine sword."

"I would rather expose myself as having the divine sword than protect these people in Jiuhua Prefecture... I hope Li Yan can come back safely!"

Although Patriarch Qingya didn't know where Li Yan's magic sword came from, he had already guessed it.

The reason why Li Yan was able to display his divine power and slash the Blood Dove Clan army with his sword was because he relied on the power of the divine sword.

But in this case, even if Li Yan pacified the Blood Dove Cave and came out of the Blood Dove Cave.

Once it is discovered that you are carrying the magic sword, you will still be in great danger.

In the eyes of Patriarch Qingya, the power of this divine sword does not belong to him after all.

To exert power will inevitably come at a great cost.

Even if Li Yan relied on the power of the magic sword, he could exert extremely high strength.

It is also difficult for him to be a match for those strong men in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Once they discovered that Li Yan was carrying the magic sword.

At best, Li Yan would lose his magic sword, at worst he would die.

This was obviously not the result he wanted to see.

But now that things have already happened, Patriarch Qingya can only try his best to keep it secret for Li Yan.

He still thought that Li Yan didn't know that the magic sword had been exposed.

He planned to wait for Li Yan to come out of the Blood Dove Cave and then immediately notify Li Yan to go somewhere else to avoid disaster temporarily.

Qu Rui was unable to find any clues at Qingya Patriarch's place, so he had to inquire and search elsewhere.

But right now, apart from the Qingya Sect, there are only some independent cultivators in Jiuhua Prefecture.

These independent cultivators are so weak, how could they know any clues?

He also led Qu Rui to the Qingya Sect.

In the view of these independent cultivators, the previous divine sword phenomenon in Qingya Sect was most likely related to the divine sword that was born.

Qu Rui was also inspired, and felt that Patriarch Qingya was only a Divine Transformation cultivator after all, and his strength and experience were insufficient.

Even if you see the magic sword, you may not be able to recognize it.

Maybe the magic sword is indeed hidden in Qingya Sect, but the Qingya Patriarch failed to recognize it.

So Qu Rui turned back to Qingya Sect again.

He said that he wanted to search in Qingya Sect and promised Qingya Sect many benefits, hoping that the Qingya Patriarch would agree.

Patriarch Qingya now knew very well that the magic sword that Qu Rui was looking for everywhere was in Li Yan's possession.

And Li Yan is now in the Blood Dove Cave.

No matter how hard Qu Rui searches in Qingya Sect, he will definitely not find anything.

In addition, he understood that if he refused, once the news spread, it would certainly arouse suspicion among many people.

It won’t be that simple then.

The Wuhui Sword Sect treated the Qingya Sect with courtesy, but the other sword sects might not do the same.

So he readily agreed to Qu Rui's request.

Qu Rui began to search for clues about the magic sword in various places of Qingya Sect.

Patriarch Qingya was anxiously waiting for Li Yan to come out of the cave.

But before he could wait for Li Yan to come out, he welcomed two uninvited guests.

These two groups are exactly the other two top sword sects in Beizhou besides the Wuhui Sword Sect.

The elders of Huiyue Sword Sect and Zhanlong Sword Pavilion.

The elders who came from the two top sword sects were not as easy to talk to as Qu Rui.

Without seeking the opinion of Qingya Sect, he began to search everywhere in Wuhuijian Sect without any hesitation.

In the end, even the bamboo forest home where Li Yan lived was not spared.

The two of them broke the formation directly and dug deep into the ground to look for clues.

The elder of Huiyue Sword Sect is a female cultivator in blue named Chi Hui.

The elder of the Dragon Slaying Sword Pavilion is a golden-robed swordsman named Ruan Tao.

Both of them are in the realm of refining emptiness, and their strength is comparable to Qu Rui.

Therefore, although Qu Rui accused the two men, he was unable to stop them from taking action.

However, for Qu Rui's sake, Chi Hui and Ruan Tao still gave some treasures to Qingya Patriarch as compensation.

But his attitude was always condescending, and he did not take the Qingya Patriarch, who was only in the Spirit Transformation Stage, seriously at all.

After compensation, I still do as I please.

The restrictions on some palaces and mountains of Qingya Sect were completely destroyed by these two people.

Patriarch Qingya was helpless about this.

Although his realm recovered to the level of God Transformation, he was still facing the sword-cultivating elder who came from the most advanced sword sect in North Continent.

The other party could annihilate him with just a random sword energy, so he could only swallow his anger.

At this moment, Qu Rui had already searched many places in Qingya Sect.

But there was no gain at all.

"It seems that I was wrong in my initial guess."

Qu Rui's eyes flashed slightly, and he looked up at the space crack in the Xuejiu Cave.

"The descent of the Blood Dove Cave Heaven seemed to be at the same time as the time when the Patriarch sensed the descent of the Divine Sword."

"That is to say, the divine sword may not be in Jiuhua Prefecture. It is very likely to be in this Xuejiu Cave Heaven."

Although Qu Rui's thinking direction was wrong, the result was just right.

But even though he knew that the peerless divine sword was in the Xuejiu Cave, he still couldn't get the sword.

Because this Blood Dove Cave is a seventh-level cave.

There must be someone as strong as a Hedao stage person within the cave.

Such a strong man is far beyond his ability to deal with.

Moreover, he was not clear about the innate abilities of the Blood Dove Clan.

If he were to encounter a strong man from the Blood Dove Clan, even if he had practiced swordsmanship and was extremely powerful.

It is not certain that he will be able to gain any benefit from the Blood Dove Clan strongmen of the same level.

"Could it be that Elder Qu knows the location of the magic sword?"

"You and I are of the same blood. Why don't you tell us the news so that we can get the sword together first to prevent it from being snatched away by the strong men from other continents? What do you think?"

Chi Hui's eyes flashed. While she and Ruan Tao were searching, their spiritual thoughts were also observing Qu Rui the whole time.

Now seeing that Qu Rui was acting abnormally, he thought that Qu Rui might have gotten the clue, so he immediately flew over and asked Qu Rui.

Although Qu Rui was very disdainful of what Chi Hui and the others did in Qingya Sect and did not want to cooperate with them.

But he also knew that now, with the distance advantage of being in Beizhou, the three sects of theirs had seized the initiative and were the first to arrive in Jiuhua Prefecture.

But the strong men from other continents may not miss this opportunity.

Although they have a long journey to go, it won't take long for them to reach Jiuhua Prefecture.

By then, the difficulty of seizing the divine sword from the hands of these top sword masters who come from Taiyi Sword Realm will increase many times.

It would be fine if he could take the sword alone.

But now he felt that the magic sword was very likely in the Blood Dove Cave.

He went there alone and there was no chance of survival.

And if they join forces with Chi Hui and Ruan Tao.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they would still be unlikely to be a match for the top powerhouses of the Blood Dove Clan.

But the degree of danger will also be greatly reduced. After all, they are only trying to obtain the magic sword, not to pacify the Blood Dove Cave Heaven.

As long as you can obtain the magic sword, you can leave Xuejiu Cave immediately.

The sword escape skills they practiced were extremely fast, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to escape from the hands of the Blood Dove Clan's strong men carrying the magic sword.

Qu Rui thought of this and stopped hesitating. He said directly, "The divine sword should be in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven. It is difficult for me to obtain the divine sword by myself."

"If you are willing to follow me into the cave, you will have a chance to bring the magic sword out."

"What! The divine sword is actually in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven?"

When Chi Hui and the other two heard this, they first showed surprise on their faces, and then showed hesitation.

They naturally knew the danger involved.

Although the sword is precious, compared with their lives, their lives are naturally more important.

Qu Rui saw that the two were afraid, his eyes flashed, and he said provocatively: "If you are afraid and don't want to enter the Blood Dove Cave Heaven, then forget it."

"I have already sent a message. When my Wuhui Sword Sect sends strong men to come, it won't be too late for me to enter the Blood Dove Cave Heaven."

Hearing this, Ruan Tao gritted his teeth and said, "Since Daoist Qu trusts me so much, I am willing to follow Daoist Qu to Xuejiu Cave Heaven!"

As soon as Ruan Tao spoke, Chi Hui could no longer sit still and responded in the same voice: "I am also willing to follow Fellow Daoist Qu."

If Qu Rui and Ruan Tao really found the magic sword.

If she didn't go, she would regret it to death.

"Okay, in that case, let's enter the Blood Dove Cave Heaven immediately, so as not to lose the initiative."

"It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Li has already entered the Blood Dove Cave Heaven. Otherwise, if he had accompanied us, we would have been much safer along the way."

When Qu Rui said this, he sighed in his heart.

In his eyes, Li Yan was a sixth-rank swordsman.

His sword realm is one level higher than his, and even those strong in the Hedao period can fight against him.

If they could unite with Li Yan, their chances of obtaining the magic sword would be greatly increased.

"Li Yan? Is he the sixth-rank swordsman who fought against the Blood Dove Clan as mentioned by Daoist Fellow Qu?"

"Yes."

Qu Rui nodded.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Li who stopped the Blood Dove Clan from coming, Jiuhua Prefecture would have long since become the Blood Dove Clan's territory, and we wouldn't have been able to search for the magic sword in Jiuhua Prefecture so leisurely."

Upon hearing this, Chi Hui said calmly, "Li Yan is indeed very powerful, but it's a pity that he underestimated the danger of a seventh-level cave heaven."

"This is not some sixth-level super-grade cave heaven. There are far more than one or two powerful Hedao masters inside."

“Even if he is a sixth-rank sword candidate, if he breaks into a seventh-rank cave alone, he will still die!”

Ruan Tao laughed and said, "Isn't this just right? The strong men of the Blood Dove Clan should have been restrained by Li Yan. If we go there now, we might be able to find the magic sword easily."

Just when the three of them were planning to break into the Blood Dove Cave.

suddenly.

At the exit of the Xuejiu Cave, there was a slight ripple caused by a large area of spatial movement.

"not good!"

Qu Rui and the other two immediately felt a tightness in their hearts.

In their opinion, there was movement at the entrance to this space, which meant that Li Yan had either escaped from it.

Either a strong man from the Blood Dove Clan has already killed Li Yan, and is about to emerge from the cave again.

If Li Yan could escape, that would be the best. They could also get some information about the Blood Dove Clan from Li Yan.

But if the Blood Dove Clan's army descends again, they will have no choice but to flee and give up the search for the magic sword.

The three of them stared at the entrance to the space nervously.

A moment later, Li Yan, dressed in green and with a calm expression, flew out of the Blood Dove Cave.

As soon as he appeared, he noticed Qu Rui and his two companions.

Li Yan nodded slightly towards Qu Rui.

Qu Rui gave him the fifth and sixth grade sword techniques, which saved him a lot of time, so he naturally had a good impression of Qu Rui.

"Fellow Daoist Li!"

Qu Rui's face was filled with surprise.

He was very happy that Li Yan was able to escape safely from the Blood Dove Cave.

"Is this Li Yan? I don't see how powerful he is. How could he escape from the Blood Dove Cave Heaven?"

Chi Hui and Ruan Tao looked Li Yan up and down.

In their eyes, Li Yan looked unremarkable except for his youthful appearance and calm aura, without any of the fierce aura of a swordsman.

But after all, Li Yan annihilated the advance troops of the Blood Dove Clan and escaped unscathed from the Blood Dove Cave.

Naturally, they would not underestimate Li Yan, and they felt a little regretful in their hearts.

Back then, in order to find clues about the magic sword in Qingya Sect, they dug Li Yan's cave three feet deep.

That's because they believed that Li Yan was doomed to die when he entered the Blood Dove Cave alone, so why would they need to worry about the threat of a dead person.

But now that Li Yan has returned safely from the Blood Dove Cave, the situation regarding their previous actions is completely different now.

After all, Li Yan is very powerful.

It would be natural for both of them to regret having provoked such an enemy.

Fortunately, for the sake of Qu Rui's face, they did not take the matter to the extreme, and still left some compensation to Qingya Sect, so they should not become mortal enemies with Li Yan because of this.

"Hello, Mr. Daoist Li!"

The two of them bowed to Li Yan.

Li Yan didn't know at this time that these two people even dismantled his cave in order to find clues about the magic sword.

Seeing two people following Qu Rui, he thought they were also members of the Wuhui Sword Sect, so he bowed in return.

"Fellow Daoist Li killed the advance troops of the Blood Dove Clan and broke into the Blood Dove Cave Heaven. This is truly admirable."

"The two of us are about to go to the Blood Dove Cave Heaven with Fellow Daoist Qu to look for something. I wonder if you can tell us about the situation in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven?"

Chi Hui complimented him for a while, then asked Li Yan.

"Looking for something?"

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood that these three people came to find his Mo Yuan Sword.

Seeing this, Qu Rui said, "To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Li, a peerless divine sword has appeared in Jiuhua Prefecture, and the top sword cultivators in the Taiyi Sword Realm have all sensed it. I was ordered by the ancestor to come here to look for the divine sword."

"Now that we have found out that the magic sword is in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven, Daoist friend, since you have been in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven, I wonder if you have found any traces of the magic sword in the Blood Dove Cave Heaven?"

"If not, would you be willing to lead the three of us into the Blood Dove Cave Heaven again?"

"Once there is something to gain, I, Wuhui Jianzong, will definitely reward you handsomely! Even if it is the seventh-grade sword technique that Daoyou requested earlier, it is not impossible!"

When Li Yan heard the seventh-grade sword technique, his eyes lit up slightly, but of course he could not give his Mo Yuan Sword to others, so his expression instantly returned to calm.

"I have made some progress in my cultivation now, so I need to stay in seclusion for a while. If you want to enter the Blood Dove Cave Heaven, just go in directly."

"The Blood Dove Clan inside has been wiped out by me. There is no danger now."

When Li Yan said this, Qu Rui and the other two were stunned.

They originally wanted to know the distribution of the strong men in the Blood Dove Clan, but they didn't expect to get such an answer.

The three of them couldn't believe it. This was a seventh-tier cave heaven. The Blood Dove Clan inside had a large number of strong people who were comparable to the He Dao.

Only a seventh-level sword cultivator has the chance to pacify the seventh-level cave heaven.

Li Yan is only at the sixth level. How could he possibly pacify the Blood Dove Cave and exterminate the Blood Dove Clan inside?
Just when the three of them were in a trance.

The voice of the Qingya Patriarch just happened to reach Li Yan's ears.
