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

Inside the city lord's palace.

After being welcomed into the reception hall, Li Yan encountered Jiang Feng, the Crescent Moon City Lord with a goatee.

Jiang Feng's gaze was calm, and he exuded an aura of authority without being angry.

Upon seeing Li Yan, he cupped his hands and asked, "I am Jiang Feng, the city lord of Crescent Moon City. May I ask what brings you to my Crescent Moon City?"

Li Yan smiled faintly and replied, "I came here to ask the city lord for a map of the Flying Star Islands, as well as information about Sun and Moon Island."

"Of course, I am not one to seize by force; these things shall be my reward."

With a wave of his hand, Li Yan conjured a storage bracelet in front of Jiang Feng.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Feng's expression suddenly changed.

He had originally thought that Li Yan was a Cloud Realm cultivator like himself.

But judging from Li Yan's tone and the storage bracelet that suddenly appeared in front of him, everything proved that the young man in blue was far stronger than him.

He reached out and took the storage bracelet, channeling his stellar energy into it. He immediately sensed the various treasures radiating spiritual light within the bracelet.

"This is!"

Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Although he was the lord of Crescent City, he could also be considered the lord of Crescent Island.

But even if one carries a whole collection of treasures, they may not possess as many treasures as this storage bracelet.

"This person's strength is at least that of a powerhouse who has stepped into the Sky Realm!"

Jiang Feng immediately made up his mind.

If one were not a Sky Realm expert, why would they easily take out so many treasures?
However, questions soon arose in his mind as well.

Such a powerful figure must have roamed the Flying Star Islands for a long time.

Why would she ask him for the map of the Flying Star Islands and the whereabouts of Sun and Moon Island?

"Could it be that this is a powerful being from another realm!"

Jiang Feng was even more excited when he thought of this.

He remained expressionless and quickly bowed respectfully to Li Yan, saying, "I was rude just now, please forgive me, senior."

"The star map of the Flying Star Islands that you requested, senior, is not comprehensive here."

"As for news about Sun and Moon Island, may I ask if you wish to go there?"

Li Yan nodded, raised an eyebrow slightly, and replied, "Not bad."

Jiang Feng took a deep breath and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "If that's the case, it just so happens that in three days, my Crescent Island will have a starship going to Sun and Moon Island. Senior, why don't you take this starship and set off for Sun and Moon Island?"

Li Yan was about to refuse.

After all, with his strength, even though his divine sense is temporarily sealed and his speed is suppressed, he is still far superior to the speed of a starship.

He only needs to know the location of Sun and Moon Island to fly there on his own; there is no need to take a starship.

But at that moment, he suddenly had a premonition and changed his mind, saying, "In that case, we shall listen to what Lord Jiang says."

Jiang Feng's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said repeatedly, "In that case, senior, please stay with me for a few days. I will personally welcome you onto the starship."

Li Yan's gaze remained calm as he nodded in agreement.

Then, led by Jiang Feng, they entered a courtyard.

After Jiang Feng left, his expression remained unchanged, but a chill ran through him.

"I'd like to know who dares to plot against me!"

The reason Li Yan suddenly agreed was because his primordial spirit suddenly sensed it.

Right here within the Flying Star Islands, someone was plotting against him.

However, the Flying Star Islands can be considered a secret realm in the Origin Realm, and under the suppression of the rules, he was unable to deduce the real culprit behind the scenes for the time being.

I might as well agree. Since the real culprit has already made his move, he should be able to show himself soon.

That will be the time for reckoning.

He was not worried about encountering danger.

In this outer realm, he didn't think anyone could hurt him.

Moreover, he had just clearly sensed that the secrets of heaven were being concealed.

This was clearly something the person behind the scenes didn't want him to notice.

However, since his own rank was thirteen, he was still able to sense the schemes of the person behind the scenes.

This means that the person behind the scenes is definitely not at the thirteenth level.

Therefore, once the person behind the scenes is exposed, he can easily control them.

Having made up his mind, Li Yan began to close his eyes and cultivate.

He has now mastered the Taiyi Sword Manual to its peak, but he can still continue to deepen and improve his swordsmanship.

Perhaps when he reaches the pinnacle of the sword technique, where one sword gives birth to all laws, his Taiyi Sword Dao Law level will also reach the peak of the thirteenth rank.

Time flew by, and three days later it was already.

Guided by Jiang Feng, Li Yan arrived at the Starship's base.

A massive starship stood tall on the earth, and many powerful or elegantly dressed travelers were boarding it via the bottom passage.

Li Yan followed Jiang Feng and flew directly to the top deck.

Upon seeing this, the crowd below all showed expressions of awe.

They all knew very well the strength of someone who could fly.

"Don't worry, senior. With the speed of this starship, we will arrive at Sun and Moon Island in just a few months after we embark on our journey."

"Then thank you very much, Lord Jiang."

Li Yan glanced at Jiang Feng with a meaningful look in his eyes, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Jiang Feng quickly lowered his head and smiled obsequiously, "This junior dares not take credit; I am just glad that you are satisfied, senior."

Li Yan didn't reply and stepped into the room on his own.

The starship quickly took off and began its voyage.

Not long after, they left Crescent Island and embarked on the voyage to Sun and Moon Island.

However, when the starship arrived at a desolate desert, it suddenly swayed and stopped abruptly for some unknown reason.

Inside the cabin, Li Yan also opened his eyes.

"So they've finally made their move?"

A cold glint flashed in Li Yan's eyes before he stepped out of the cabin. The passengers on the entire starship were in a state of panic.

The starship is the only means of transportation between the floating islands, and if something goes wrong, it will fall into the endless void.

If it is close to other floating islands, experts at the Flying Star Realm may have the opportunity to fly there directly.

However, they are currently located in the Void Desert, where there are no floating islands in the surrounding area.

If the starship were to crash and fall into the void, even a powerful expert at the Flying Star Realm would certainly not survive.

Of course, not to mention those at the Flying Star Realm, even those at the Cloud Realm and Azure Sky Realm will have their own unique starship.

If such a powerful individual's starship wrecks, they can simply switch to another starship without any problem.

Now, besides Li Yan, there are two other Cloud Realm experts who own starships on this starship.

Upon seeing that the starship had malfunctioned, the two of them immediately took out their own starship, intending to pilot it directly to leave this desolate void.

Otherwise, once this starship starts to fall, it won't be a fun thing.

"Go away!"

Some panicked people on the starships, upon seeing the starships of the two experts at the Cloud Realm, frantically rushed towards them. However, both starships were small and could not carry many people. Seeing this, the experts let out a sharp shout and sent these panicked people flying into the void.

As the screams of those who had fallen into the void grew fainter, the others on the starship also calmed down, their eyes filled with despair.

"How could the starship suddenly malfunction? Now we're trapped in the void desert, are we all going to die here?"

"What's the panic? The starship hasn't even started falling yet. As long as we can hold out until rescue, there might still be a chance of survival!"

Although they had heard that if the starship malfunctioned and stopped moving, it would soon fall into the void.

But it hasn't fallen yet.

If they can hold out until rescue, that will be their only chance of survival.

"What's going on? Why can't I activate my starship either?"

Soon, both of the Cloud Realm experts exclaimed in surprise.

Because they discovered that their own starship also seemed to be damaged and could not be activated.

This immediately caused the two, who had been relatively calm, to panic.

"Does Your Excellency still possess a starship? Why not take the two of us with you on your journey? We will surely repay you handsomely upon our return to the floating island!"

The two of them had a sudden thought and remembered Li Yan again.

After all, Li Yan clearly displayed the strength of the Cloud Realm when he boarded the starship, so it's impossible that he didn't have a starship with him.

This is true.

Li Yan originally did not have a starship, but Jiang Feng later gifted him one, along with a considerable amount of star iron.

"Take it."

A playful look appeared in Li Yan's eyes. He released the starship and let the two of them use it.

At this moment, he also understood what the person behind the scenes was planning.

Flying is forbidden in the void of the Flying Star Islands; even if an emperor were to arrive, he would fall into the void.

The person behind it all clearly wanted to use this as leverage to force him to submit.

If that's the case, then how could the person behind it allow him to escape using other starships?

as predicted.

The two boarded Li Yan's starship, intending to propel it away.

But the result was just like their own starship; no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move an inch.

Just then, a huge phantom of a human face suddenly appeared in the sky above the starship.

"What's this!?"

Panic appeared on everyone's faces. They had never imagined that such a strange thing would exist in the void.

The giant human face, however, moved its eyes slightly and its gaze fell directly on Li Yan on the deck of the starship.

"Hehe, fellow Daoist, you have come from afar. I have failed to greet you properly. How impolite of me!"

The face emitted a thunderous sound that reached Li Yan's ears.

The people on the starship were completely bewildered, their eyes filled with terror as they stared at the faces in the sky, utterly unaware of what had happened.

"So it was you who tried to murder me?"

Li Yan gazed calmly at the human face in the sky, his expression showing no sign of panic.

"So what if it's me?"

"You are now in the Void Desert, and your starship is under my control, so you cannot escape."

"With just a thought from me, the starship will plummet and fall into the void."

“Even if you are an emperor, your life is now in my hands.”

The face in the sky smiled gently and spoke slowly to Li Yan.

He had been planning this for a long time on the Flying Star Islands. Relying on his control over this secret realm, many Great Emperors had already fallen for his tricks and obediently offered up their treasures.

In his view, Li Yan was the same.

"I do not wish to make things difficult for you, fellow Daoist. You only need to sign this Origin Realm Contract, and I will restore the Starship to its function. You may then leave the Flying Star Islands on your own."

As soon as the face above finished speaking, a contract radiating spiritual light descended from the sky and landed in front of Li Yan.

Li Yan looked closely and discovered that the contract stated that if he handed over all his treasures, he would receive the protection of the human face in the sky, which would restore the starship to its original state.

Upon seeing this, Li Yan shook his head; there were clearly loopholes in the contract.

Even if the Starship is restored, what good will it do? If the faces in the sky want to cause trouble, what use will the Starship be?

Furthermore, his primordial spirit sensed that there should be even more dangerous hidden conditions within this contract.

If an ordinary emperor were to sign the contract, it would be very difficult for him to escape the control of the human face in the sky.

"Oh? Could it be that you, fellow Daoist, are unwilling to agree?"

"If that's the case, then I have no choice but to send you into the void."

A face in the sky gave a strange smile.

next moment.

The entire starship suddenly began to plummet downwards, causing screams of agony from everyone on board.

It fell a full hundred feet before finally stopping in mid-air.

"Well? I'll give you one last chance. If you still don't agree, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Although none of the people on the starship were injured, they were in a state of extreme panic.

"Please, senior, sign that contract to save our lives!"

Someone on the starship kowtowed to Li Yan, begging him to save their life.

But Li Yan seemed to ignore him and did not respond at all.

He looked up at the face above him, smiled faintly, and said, "I see that you have already committed many evil deeds. You want to give me a chance, but I will not give you one."

"Um!?"

The person above frowned, sensing something was amiss.

If it were anyone else, even a Great Emperor who had reached the tenth level of the Path of Law, they would lower their heads once they realized that their life and death were in their own hands.

But Li Yan seemed completely confident and didn't take his threat seriously at all.

"Could it be that he has also comprehended the mysteries of star iron, enabling him to briefly fly through the void?"

"But even so, what can we do? This is the Void Desert. Even if we have the ability to fly through the void, it's impossible for us to make it to the nearest floating island!"

The man snorted coldly.

The reason he chose this place to take action was precisely because of this.

Even an eleventh-tier Great Emperor might not have a chance of survival under such circumstances.

As for the peak emperors of the twelfth rank, he didn't think he would be so unlucky as to encounter such a powerful being in the outer realms.

After all, those at the twelfth rank are already near-immortal peak experts, and they mostly search for immortal resources in the inner domain, so they have no time to spare in the outer domain.

Thinking this, he sneered at Li Yan: "Bluster. If you're so capable, try escaping. If you can escape the Void Desert on your own, then you won't need to sign the contract!"

Li Yan was not angered. From the moment the face appeared in the sky, he had been trying to find the face's true form.

Although his power is still suppressed, the face is now right in front of him.

In this situation, we can use the causal connections of this face to find its true form.

Faced with the provocation of the human face in the sky, his eyes suddenly flickered slightly, and he softly murmured, "Found you!" (End of Chapter)
