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

Chapter 278 Tianmen
Li Yan flew all the way, and in just half a month, he had crossed more than a dozen large areas.

During the journey, he used his divine sense to explore the world and witnessed the customs and practices of many places.

Among them, there were some territories where there were cave monsters and cholera.

He immediately took action to show his divine power and easily killed the monster in the cave.

Following the guidance of the cultivators he met on the way, he finally entered Wutong Province where the Wuhui Sword Sect was located.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth just outside the Wutong Domain is no less than that of the Jiuhua Prefecture today.

And as soon as he arrived in Wutong Province, he immediately felt that a sixth-grade swordsman in the Lianxu realm was rushing towards him.

This person was obviously a Lianxu sword practitioner from the Wuhui Sword Sect. After noticing his arrival, he came to greet him.

"I've met Senior Li!"

A Taoist priest in a blue robe quickly appeared and bowed deeply to Li Yan with a respectful expression.

"Master Sang Jie is waiting for you in the sect now. Please follow me!"

The Taoist in blue robe looked at Li Yan with awe.

Then he flew ahead on his sword to lead the way for Li Yan.

The news that the peerless swordsman from Jiuhua Prefecture had achieved the status of a Mahayana Sword Immortal had already spread throughout the Taiyi Sword World.

Naturally, he had heard of it.

And high-level sword cultivators like him in the Wuhui Sword Sect all knew that the peerless sword cultivator from Jiuhua Prefecture was Li Yan.

He was only at the Refining Void Realm and could not see through Li Yan's realm aura. He thought that Li Yan had really entered the Mahayana stage, so naturally he did not dare to neglect him.

Li Yan smiled slightly and followed closely. Not long after, he was brought to the outside of a hall of the Wuhui Sword Sect.

He strode into the hall. Sang Jie, the founder of the Wuhui Sword Sect, had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

"It is rumored that Fellow Daoist Li has already broken through to the Mahayana realm, but is that true? If so, I, Sang, will have to call you a senior!"

Sang Jie's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked Li Yan who walked into the hall alone.

Li Yan smiled lightly and replied, "Others may not know, but Fellow Daoist Sang should be able to see that I am still only at the Hedao realm, and I am not worthy of the title of Mahayana Sword Immortal."

"It's just a rumor spread by others. They thought I had entered the Mahayana realm. Don't take it seriously."

Li Yan did not hide his aura.

As a Hedao cultivator, Sang Jie could naturally see that Li Yan's aura was still in the Hedao realm, so he asked whether the rumor was true or not.

Sang Jie nodded and said, "I see. However, you have just broken through the Hedao realm, and your aura is exactly the same as mine. It shows that you really have a good foundation!"

“No wonder people mistakenly believe that he has broken through to the Mahayana realm.”

Sang Jie has entered the Hedao realm for thousands of years and has now reached the peak of Hedao.

However, Li Yan had just entered the Hedao realm, but his aura was comparable to his, which really surprised him.

"You are too kind, Brother Sang. It was just a fluke."

Li Yan shook his head.

If he had not by chance obtained the top-notch martial art, Taiyi Sword Canon, from Patriarch Qingya, he might not have had the profound foundation he has today.

Sang Jie thought Li Yan was just being modest, so he changed the subject and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you have come to my Wuhui Sword Sect now, but are you ready to help my Wuhui Sword Sect drive away the two alien tribes of Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon?"

"Exactly."

Li Yan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Sang Jie's eyes immediately showed a hint of eagerness. He bowed to Li Yan and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Brother Li!"

As the front line in the fight against the two alien tribes in the caves, the Wuhui Sword Sect had lost countless disciples and Lianxu elders in the battle with the two tribes.

Although the Wuhui Sword Sect is powerful, the strength of these two clans is also extraordinary.

The strong men of the Eclipse Moon Clan master the laws of moonlight, while the strong men of the Thunder Killer Clan control the laws of thunder.

The power of these two laws is extraordinary, although there are no strong people in the Mahayana realm among these two tribes.

But the Moonlight Law and Thunder Law alone are enough to compete with the Hedao sword cultivator.

Especially, the number of powerful Hedao masters in these two clans is far greater than that in the Wuhui Sword Sect.

Therefore, even though Sang Jie had already reached the seventh level of swordsmanship, the minor level of sword-fighting, he still did not dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, we now have a strong ally like Li Yan.

Not only is Li Yan's realm comparable to his, he also possesses the Mo Yuan Sword, an innate divine sword.

His strength is definitely not weaker than his.

Sang Jie even felt that he was very likely to be even stronger than him.

The two of them joined forces, together with several other Hedao sword practitioners from the Wuhui Sword Sect.

Even if we cannot pacify these two alien tribes in the cave heaven, at least we can recapture a large area of territory and drive these two alien tribes back into the cave heaven world.

For Sang Jie, this is already a pretty good result.

Li Yan cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Sang, there is no need to thank me. Wuhui Sword Sect has been fighting against these two alien tribes for so long to protect the human race's territory."

"As a member of the Taiyi Sword Realm, now that I have the ability, how can I ignore it?"

Sang Jie smiled when he heard this: "You are too kind, fellow Daoist."

"I know that you have just entered the Hedao realm and need the seventh-grade sword technique."

"There are three seventh-grade sword techniques in our sect, namely the Heaven-Severing Sword Technique, the Guixu Sword Technique, and the Silent Sword Technique."

"You can choose any one of them."

Sang Jie waved his hand, and three shadows of divine swords appeared in front of Li Yan, one in green, one in blue, and one in black.

Above the three phantoms of divine swords, inscriptions of sword principles continued to emerge.

A hint of surprise appeared in Li Yan's eyes, and then without hesitation, his mind probed towards the black shadow of the divine sword.

The next moment, the practice tips of the Silent Sword Technique appeared in his mind.

Sang Jie's eyes flashed slightly.

This Silent Sword Technique, in addition to how to make one's own sword principles move with the sword, so that the sword can be used as the law.

He can also integrate the sword principles he has comprehended and cultivate the sword power of annihilation.

The more sword principles you comprehend, the stronger the power of annihilation will be.

When one’s cultivation reaches perfection, with one swing of the sword, all things become silent and the power is extremely terrifying.

However, in order to master this sword technique, one must comprehend a very high number of sword principles.

This resulted in few people in the sect practicing the Silent Sword Technique.

At most, I can refer to some ideas in the Silent Sword Technique.

However, since Li Yan had already chosen this sword technique, Sang Jie didn't say anything more.

“If Fellow Daoist Li can really help me drive the Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon clans back to the cave heaven, then when the matter is over, I will also give the remaining two seventh-grade sword techniques to Fellow Daoist Li. After all, Fellow Daoist Li is also a guest elder of my Wuhui Sword Sect.”

Sang Jie thought secretly in his heart.

Although these seventh-grade sword techniques are extremely rare, there are also not many people who can meet the requirements for practicing them.

At this time, after comprehending the Silent Sword Cultivation, Li Yan also understood the trick of sword-shooting and law-following, but it still required some time to practice.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Sang!"

Li Yan was very satisfied.

After he obtained the Silent Sword Technique, he immediately understood the way forward when he saw the sword coming out.

It would only take him some time to create a seventh-grade sword technique.

Sang Jie smiled and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have just learned the sword technique. You can spend some time studying it."

"I have already prepared a place for you to stay in the sect. You can go there with our elders later." "Once you are ready, we will start to attack those two tribes!"

Li Yan bowed his hands to express his gratitude, and then said, "I have one more thing I want to ask Fellow Daoist Sang."

Sang Jie was curious when he heard this. He didn't know what Li Yan was going to ask, so he replied, "Just tell me. As long as I know, I will definitely not hide it."

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Sang know the Taiyi Sword Canon?"

"Taiyi Sword Code?"

Sang Jie showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then nodded and said, "Of course I know, this is a famous sword technique in my Taiyi Sword World, and its sub-chapter has been sent down in many places in my continents."

"I have collected it since I went to Wuhui Sword Sect, but this technique is too difficult to practice. Only the top sword geniuses in Taiyi Sword World can practice this technique."

"Now in my Wuhui Sword Sect, no one has been able to truly master the Taiyi Sword Canon."

Sang Jie sighed slightly when he said this.

He naturally knew that the Taiyi Sword Canon was powerful, but if he wanted to truly master the sword canon, he needed to practice the innate sword energy.

However, in his Wuhui Sword Sect, no genius in the way of swordsmanship was born who was able to cultivate the innate sword energy.

Although many disciples tried to practice, none of them succeeded, and in the end they had to waste their efforts and start over again.

"Why are you asking this, Fellow Daoist Li? Do you also want to include this sword manual? That's easy, I have a volume in my hand."

Sang Jie did not hesitate and a stream of light flew out from his hand.

Although the Taiyi Sword Canon is a profound martial art, it is not a secret that is not to be passed on.

Many sword sects treasure copies of the Taiyi Sword Canon.

However, there are very few people who can master this practice.

Li Yan fixed his eyes and directly took the flowing light into his hand, turning it into a jade slip.

Then he probed inside with his mind, raised his eyebrows slightly, and put the jade slip down again.

The Taiyi Sword Canon in this jade slip is exactly the same as the one he got from Patriarch Qingya. It also only has the Hedao chapter, but lacks the last volume of Mahayana chapter.

Li Yan asked in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Sang, do you know where the Mahayana chapter of the Taiyi Sword Canon is?"

Sang Jie was stunned by Li Yan's question, and asked casually: "Does the Taiyi Sword Canon have a Mahayana chapter?"

"Even if it does exist, who can..."

suddenly!

Sang Jie's heart moved, he thought of the key to the problem, and looked at Li Yan in surprise.

Li Yan had no intention of hiding the fact that he was practicing Taiyi Sword Canon. Seeing that Sang Jie had guessed it, he replied frankly, "Daoyou guessed correctly. The technique I practice is Taiyi Sword Canon."

"Now that I have cultivated to the state of unity with the Dao, I should naturally prepare to enter the Mahayana state next."

When Sang Jie got the confirmation from Li Yan, he was shocked and stunned.

No wonder Li Yan has such a profound aura even though he has just entered the Hedao realm.

He had already believed that the martial arts Li Yan was practicing was extraordinary. Now that he knew that the martial arts Li Yan was practicing was the Taiyi Sword Classic, it was not surprising.

Although the Taiyi Sword Canon is difficult to learn, it is recognized within the Taiyi sword community as the most powerful sword technique.

However, Sang Jie did not expect that there was actually someone who could practice this technique to the level of Hedao.

"You hid it very deeply, my friend!"

Sang Jie took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down.

To achieve the unity of Dao with the Ether Sword Canon was truly unimaginable to him.

He thought for a moment and then said, "Fellow Daoist, you are extremely talented. Although I don't know whether the Taiyi Sword Canon has a Mahayana chapter, if it does exist, there should only be one place where it exists."

"Oh?"

Li Yan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "May I ask where exactly is it, Fellow Daoist Sang?"

Sang Jie raised his head, a solemn look in his eyes, and pointed to the sky: "It's right there!"

Li Yan looked up at the sky, but didn't see anything.

Sang Jie explained: "Above the nine heavens of my Taiyi Sword Realm, there is a place called Tianmen!"

"When one's cultivation reaches the Mahayana realm, one can cross the nine heavens and enter the Heavenly Gate."

“Besides the Heavenly Gate, there are countless evil demons from outer space who want to pass through the Heavenly Gate and descend upon our Taiyi Sword Realm.”

"The strongest person in my Taiyi Sword Realm who broke through the Mahayana stage is said to be guarding the Heavenly Gate and resisting those evil demons from outer space."

"Many of the sub-chapters of the Taiyi Sword Canon came down from the Nine Heavens, and they are likely from the Heavenly Gate."

"So if you want to obtain the Mahayana chapter of the Taiyi Sword Canon, the most likely place to find it is Tianmen!"

"I see!"

Li Yan's eyes lit up.

He didn't expect that there was such a place within the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Although I didn't get the exact information about the Mahayana chapter, I had a direction.

After he breaks through to the Mahayana stage, perhaps he can go to Tianmen to find out.

Li Yan asked Sang Jie for some more information related to Tianmen.

But Tianmen is extremely mysterious, and Sang Jie also doesn't know much about it.

Finally, Li Yan bid farewell to Sang Jie, and under the guidance of the elders outside the hall, he went to a cave prepared for him by Sang Jie to comprehend the Silent Sword Art.

After Li Yan entered the Hedao period, the upper limit of the grade of the sword law reached the eighth level.

The laws of his world have already reached the half-step tenth level.

The laws of the world are extremely inclusive. Even though the sword laws of the Taiyi Sword Realm are somewhat different from the laws of the Dao that Li Yan has comprehended, Li Yan's progress in comprehension is also quite fast.

Now he has upgraded his comprehension of the sword principles to the sixth level, and it is expected that he will be able to reach the peak of the eighth level in the near future.

By then, he will have reached the pinnacle of the Hedao realm, and no one will be able to reach him.

And the sword principles that Li Yan comprehended are not just one.

Just like the world laws he had comprehended, they were numerous and complex.

But it was just right for practicing the Silent Sword Technique he had just chosen.

When he comprehends these sword techniques to the peak of the eighth level, and then integrates them all into the power of annihilation, it will probably be comparable to the ninth level of laws.

If the ninth-order killing law of the Mo Yuan Sword is added, Li Yan's strength is definitely enough to suppress all the strong people in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

"I just don't know how strong the strong men in Tianmen are..."

Li Yan thought in his heart.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Mahayana level, one can enter Tianmen, but it does not mean that the strong people in Tianmen only have Mahayana strength.

Only the strong ones in Tianmen truly represent the peak strength of the Taiyi Sword Realm.

The level of the laws of Taiyi Sword Realm is as high as the twelfth order.

Li Yan would never think that he could run rampant in the Taiyi Sword Realm just because he possessed ninth-level strength.

"Twelfth level..."

There was a hint of heat in Li Yan's eyes.

As long as he reaches the twelfth level, he can rest assured.

Thinking of this, Li Yan no longer hesitated. He calmly comprehended the sword techniques, preparing to cultivate the power of annihilation as soon as possible.

Then he helped Wuhui Sword Sect to pacify the Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon clans, and returned to Qingya Sect to continue his cultivation.
