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

Chapter 287 The Immortal Lord's Visit
"I can reach the tenth level in the True Immortal Realm. Once I cultivate the Taiyi Sword Manual to the Golden Immortal Realm, I will most likely be able to reach the twelfth level of the Law."

"This level of sword dao law is probably comparable to the Heavenly Dao level of the Taiyi Sword Realm."

Li Yan had made a major breakthrough in his own laws, and was in a great mood, a faint smile appearing on his face.

His purpose in coming to the Taiyi Sword Realm was to improve his level of law.

But even before the harvest season has arrived, they have already reaped a great deal of benefits.

If he waits until he achieves enlightenment, the benefits he will receive will probably be greater than he expected.

"Could it be that after achieving Dao Integration, I will actually be able to reach the thirteenth level?"

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

He originally chose to descend upon the Taiyi Sword Realm because he felt that the Taiyi Sword Realm had twelve levels of laws.

Once he successfully achieves Dao integration, he will be able to quickly advance to the twelfth level.

However, after stepping into the Heavenly Gate, he vaguely sensed that the Taiyi Sword Realm might not be as simple as he had originally thought.

Simply by cultivating the Taiyi Sword Manual, he could acquire the sword dao laws of twelve levels.

If he were to attain the Dao, he would not believe that he would still only be able to reach the twelfth level.

"Based on my estimation, reaching the thirteenth level should be a tremendous qualitative change!"

"The mysterious powerhouse who is hunting down the five Great Dao Lords of my True Realm is at least a twelfth-level powerhouse."

"But once I reach the thirteenth level, I should no longer need to worry about its threat."

"Perhaps we can leave the True Realm and venture into the Boundless Sea."

Li Yan had always been filled with curiosity about the boundless sea.

However, due to limitations in strength, they have remained in the True Realm.

However, if he successfully achieves Dao integration, his strength should increase significantly.

Perhaps then we can explore the secrets of the true world and take bigger steps.

"Ok?"

Just as Li Yan was pondering future development in his cave dwelling on Xiaoqian Mountain.

suddenly.

He sensed that three powerful auras were slowly approaching from outside Xiaoqian Mountain.

Li Yan was surprised. He used his divine sense to discover three immortal lords with extraordinary appearances.

"I am Feng Qi, and I have come with fellow Daoists Yunmeng and Jiangling to pay our respects to Immortal Lord Mo Yuan. We humbly request an audience with you!"

Outside the Xiaoqian Mountain boundary, a gentle male voice passed through the formation and entered Li Yan's ears.

Li Yan deactivated the formation, and the clouds and mist on Xiaoqian Mountain immediately dissipated.

The simple cave dwelling he had carved out on the mountain was immediately revealed to the three immortals, including Fengqi Xianjun.

Li Yan calmly cupped his hands to the three immortal lords outside and said, "The three immortal lords have come from afar. Please forgive me for not welcoming you properly!"

He wasn't surprised that the three of them knew his name in the mortal realm.

After all, the three of them were all immortal lords among the Heavenly Gate human race, the most powerful figures.

He did not conceal his name or origin. As long as any cultivator from the Five Continents who knew him arrived at the Heavenly Gate, the three of them would be able to learn about his past from him.

He looked at the beautiful female cultivator among the three with a curious expression.

This was not because he coveted the beauty of female cultivators, but because he knew that among the five immortal lords, only the Yunmeng Immortal Lord was a female cultivator.

Therefore, the female immortal before us is naturally the Yunmeng Immortal Lord who seized the Taiyi Sword Manual from the human race and sent a copy to the lower realm.

Li Yan started his career in the Taiyi Sword Realm with the Sword Manual, and naturally had a good impression of Immortal Lord Yunmeng.

He nodded slightly to Immortal Lord Yunmeng and gave a kind smile: "Fellow Daoist Yunmeng, the Taiyi Sword Manual you seized from the Central Region has been a great help to me. I thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Yunmeng!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Lord Yunmeng's beautiful eyes revealed curiosity: "Fellow Daoist Moyuan, have you truly cultivated to your current level using the Taiyi Sword Manual?"

"But the Taiyi Sword Manual I obtained only has chapters on the True Immortal realm. How did you, fellow Daoist, cultivate to the Profound Immortal realm?"

Not only Yunmeng Immortal Lord, but the other two Immortal Lords were also very curious about this.

Li Yan's level of law must have reached the tenth level without a doubt.

However, this was already at the Xuanxian level.

The two major chapters of the Taiyi Sword Manual, namely the Xuanxian and Jinxian chapters, are both in the hands of the Spirit Clan.

How did Li Yan cultivate to the Xuanxian realm?
Li Yan calmly explained, "I am not a Xuanxian; I am still in the realm of Zhenxian."

"It's just that the Taiyi Sword Manual is powerful, and it contains a secret technique that allows one to raise the level of sword law to the tenth level at the True Immortal realm. That's why the three of you misunderstood."

What Li Yan said was just one of the more peculiar aspects of the Taiyi Sword Manual.

The true power of the Taiyi Sword Manual lies in its ability to condense the Taiyi Sword Dao Law.

It can be called the progenitor of many sword laws in the Taiyi Sword Realm, and its power is extremely strong. This is the true strength of the Taiyi Sword Canon.

"Still in the True Immortal Realm?"

The three were surprised to hear this, and then they used their divine senses to probe Li Yan. Sure enough, they did not sense any divine soul aura on him.

The realm of the Mysterious Immortal allows one to transform their primordial spirit into an immortal soul, greatly increasing their comprehension and control over the laws.

Although Li Yan transformed his physical body into an immortal body, his primordial spirit remained unchanged, so he could only be considered a true immortal.

However, even though he hadn't condensed a Celestial Soul after reaching the tenth level of the Laws, his combat power was definitely comparable to that of a Celestial Lord.

The three Immortal Lords of Yunmeng did not underestimate Li Yan because of this.

Instead, he held Li Yan in even higher esteem.

If even True Immortals can reach the tenth level of Laws, then when Li Yan obtains the Profound Immortal Chapter and reaches the same level as them, wouldn't he be able to raise his Law level to the eleventh level?
This is a realm they can only hope to reach after breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm!

Moreover, they were all very clear about the difficulty of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

If it were that simple, none of the Celestial Lords of the Heavenly Gate Human Race throughout history would have failed to achieve the Golden Immortal Realm.

"If Li Yan reaches the eleventh level, perhaps he can drive all these alien races out of my Taiyi Sword Realm!"

The three of them exchanged a slight glance, and the same thought arose in their minds.

At present, humans and other races maintain a delicate balance and live in peace with each other for the time being.

But this balance was the result of generations of Celestial Lords of the Heavenly Gate fighting to the death against tenth-level alien powerhouses, and it was hard-won.

These alien races invaded the Taiyi Sword Realm, and they naturally wanted to drive them away.

However, the alien race is quite powerful, and the tenth-order law level alone is not enough to completely drive them out of the Taiyi Sword Realm.

However, breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm is extremely difficult.

Li Yan's appearance has brought them a glimmer of hope.

"The Taiyi Sword Manual truly lives up to its reputation as a unique cultivation technique bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan's ability to cultivate it to such a level is truly extraordinary!"

"It's just a pity that I failed to take back the remaining two stone tablets from the Spirit Clan back then."

Immortal Lord Yunmeng sighed.

She felt that if she had been able to obtain the latter two stone tablets, or even just the stone tablet that recorded the Xuanxian chapter, she would have been even better.

With the remaining two stone tablets now in the hands of the Spirit Clan, it will be troublesome for Li Yan to obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques.

Those two stone tablets had no effect on the Spirit Clan.

However, the Spirit Clan also discovered the secret of the cultivation techniques recorded on the stone tablets, and it was impossible for them to hand over the remaining two stone tablets to the Human Clan.

This means that even if Li Yan manages to cultivate to the Profound Immortal realm by chance, he might not be able to break through to the eleventh-order Law level due to a lack of subsequent cultivation techniques. The two Immortal Lords, Feng Qi and Jiang Ling, also considered this point, their eyes showing regret.

The Spirit Clan is an extremely powerful alien race within the Heavenly Gate, with a number of tenth-tier experts easily counted on two hands.

If it weren't for the sharp sword techniques of the human race, the spirit race would have surely joined forces with other alien races to wipe out the human race first.

"It doesn't matter."

Li Yan remained expressionless and slowly said, "I will go to the Spirit Clan to retrieve the remaining two stone tablets myself."

He didn't think that he would be able to reach the peak of the tenth level of the Taiyi Sword Dao Law.

Among the Spirit Race, there are powerful individuals who can stop him.

Fengqi Immortal Lord spoke, sighed softly, and said, "Fellow Daoist Moyuan, do not underestimate the Spirit Clan. Even if we, the human immortal lords, went to the Spirit Clan together, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to destroy them, not to mention that there are other alien races eyeing us covetously."

Li Yan didn't say much about it, since he wouldn't need the help of these immortal lords anyway and could go alone.

After a moment's thought, Jiangling Immortal Lord smiled and said, "Perhaps we can try to find out where the Spirit Clan placed those two stone tablets."

"If we can obtain the location of the stone tablet, Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan can infiltrate the Spirit Clan on his own."

Even if we can't get the stone tablet, we can still obtain the subsequent cultivation techniques recorded on it.

Upon hearing Jiangling Immortal Lord's words, Fengqi Immortal Lord and Yunmeng Immortal Lord's eyes lit up.

Yes, although the stone tablet is not easy to take away, they don't necessarily need to get it.

If Li Yan records the subsequent cultivation techniques and raises the level of the laws to the eleventh rank, the alien races in the Heavenly Gate will no longer be able to resist the advance of the human race.

Li Yan's eyes also revealed a look of great interest.

Although he felt he could defeat the Eldar and search for them at his own pace.

However, if he knew the location of the stone tablet in advance, he would be spared from searching aimlessly in the Spirit Clan territory.

Phoenix Perch Immortal Lord said, "Leave this matter to me. I have a True Immortal under my command who is currently hiding in the Spirit Clan's territory!"

"Then I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Fengqi!"

Li Yan solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to Immortal Lord Fengqi.

Although this was his first meeting with the three immortal lords, through this contact and verbal exchange, he gained a deeper understanding of their relationship.

He now understood that the three immortal lords cared for the entire Heavenly Gate human race, which was why they were offering him assistance.

The purpose was to wait until he grew up so that he could drive those alien races out of the Taiyi Sword Realm and return the Heavenly Gate to the human race's territory.

Immortal Lord Jiangling laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Moyuan, there's no need for such formalities. You have a bright future ahead of you. From now on, you only need to cultivate peacefully in the Eastern Region."

"As long as you can reach the Xuanxian realm as soon as possible, and enter the eleventh level, you can drive those alien races out of the Taiyi Sword Realm."

Immortal Lord Yunmeng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Fellow Daoist Moyuan, please feel free to ask if you have any needs."

“The spiritual energy in this Xiaoqian Mountain is sparse. If you are willing, I can give my own immortal city to you, Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan.”

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's heart stirred.

He had previously refused to enter the Immortal City and make contact with the Five Immortal Lords.

That's because at that time he was still in the Mahayana realm, and his laws were only at the eighth level.

But now that he has obtained the Taiyi Sword Manual, he has not only entered the True Immortal realm, but has also comprehended the Taiyi Sword Dao Law to the tenth level.

Such strength is already on par with the five Immortal Lords.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about encountering danger.

Although he has now met the three immortals, Yunmeng, and felt that they were all kind-hearted people.

However, this is based on the premise that his own strength has already reached the tenth level.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Li Yan certainly wouldn't lack even this much experience.

"In that case, I would like to trouble the three of you to find me a precious cultivation ground with abundant law power and no one to disturb me."

Li Yan cupped his hands in greeting to the three of them.

These three immortal lords hoped that he would reach the eleventh level and expel the alien races, so he naturally wouldn't be polite to them.

The spiritual energy and power of laws of Xiaoqian Mountain have been greatly depleted when he broke through to the True Immortal realm.

Continuing to cultivate here is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

Even if the three immortal lords don't come, he will find another place.

Upon hearing Li Yan's request, the three nodded slightly.

“This matter is simple. Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan may accompany us to the core spiritual land of the Eastern Region.”

Li Yan's request was not surprising, as the spiritual energy and laws of Xiaoqian Mountain were clearly insufficient to support a cultivator who could be considered a Xuanxian (a high-level immortal) to cultivate here.

It was for this reason that Immortal Lord Yunmeng said he would give his own immortal city to Li Yan.

The five immortal cities are located in the core spiritual land of the Eastern Region, which is why they can attract so many high-level cultivators to settle in the immortal cities.

However, the Immortal City is quite lively. Since Li Yan does not want to be disturbed, he can also open up another cultivation spiritual land in the core spiritual land.

This is also a fairly easy thing.

The most important treasure Li Yan possesses is his natal flying sword, the Mo Yuan Sword, which resides within his body.

So he didn't pack much and left Xiaoqian Mountain directly with the three immortal lords.

Before leaving, he also asked Fengqi Immortal Lord to find Gu Zhe a good job in the Immortal City, which could be considered as repaying the kindness that Gu Zhe had shown him the location of the Taiyi Sword Manual and accompanied him all the way.

Gu Zhe was naturally overjoyed, while Li Yan, along with the three Immortal Lords, sped towards the core spiritual land.

When Li Yan arrived at the spiritual land, a large cave dwelling had already been built there by the three immortal lords.

"good."

Li Yanfei entered the cave, a satisfied look on his face.

Just as the three immortal lords said, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of laws here are extremely rich.

Moreover, there were no other cultivators around, making it very quiet, which was perfect for Li Yan to cultivate in seclusion here.

“Cultivating here is enough for me to reach the peak of the tenth level of the Taiyi Sword Dao Law.”

"By then, as long as I don't deliberately put myself in danger, I should be able to act with impunity within the Heavenly Gate."

Although Li Yan has not yet used the Taiyi Sword Dao Law to activate it against his enemies.

However, this law is even more powerful than the Law of Slaughter, once it reaches the peak of the tenth rank.

He did not believe that anyone within the Heavenly Gate possessed a level of law or rank that could rival his Taiyi Sword Dao Law.

With this in mind, Li Yan felt reassured.

After the three immortal lords bid farewell, he immediately entered his cave and began cultivating.

At the same time, the news of the birth of the sixth Immortal Lord of the human race was also learned by various alien races in Tianmen.

They became even more wary of the human race.

"If the human race were to gain an extra Immortal Lord for no reason, it would be extremely disadvantageous for us."

"I've heard that the human race still has two Immortal Lords who are currently traveling in the Central Region. Perhaps we can start by targeting them!"

The powerful figures from all the different races harbored their own ulterior motives.
