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

Li Yan retrieved the Mo Yuan Sword.

Then he continued to activate the laws within him, slowly storing the remains of the divine being into his personal world.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt something, his gaze turned cold, and he looked up into the distance.

"Another Immortal Emperor?"

Li Yan frowned.

He never expected that just after he had put the Shadow Emperor into a deep sleep, another Immortal Emperor would arrive.

Could it be that they've come for the remains of a deity once again?

If that's the case, he'll have no choice but to take action again and eventually defeat this immortal emperor.

"Fellow Daoist, do not rush to attack!"

Just as Li Yan was about to take action and teach that Immortal Emperor a lesson.

Emperor Qianyi, from the world within his sleeve, suddenly spoke, calling out to Li Yan.

Li Yan was taken aback upon hearing this and asked Emperor Qianyi, "What is it, Fellow Daoist Qianyi?"

Emperor Qianyi hurriedly replied, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, I am acquainted with this fellow Daoist. Her name is Emperor Aoxue, and she is not the kind of person who would seize by force."

"Therefore, you certainly did not come for your divine remains. I hope you will show mercy, fellow Daoist!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's expression softened slightly, and he stopped what he was doing.

The impression that the Shadow Emperor had given him was very bad.

That's why they initially assumed that Emperor Aoxue was also after his divine remains.

But since Emperor Qianyi has spoken up and vouched for Emperor Aoxue, he naturally won't directly attack Emperor Aoxue.

His eyes flashed, and he ignored the arriving Emperor Aoxue, focusing entirely on collecting the remains of the God.

This divine remains were indeed enormous; even he needed some time to store them in his personal world.

The Snow-Proud Emperor also arrived quickly.

At this moment, the avatar of Emperor Qianyi flew out from Li Yan's sleeve world.

The Snow-Proud Emperor ignored Li Yan and flew straight towards the Qianyi Emperor after spotting him.

The Snow-Proud Empress is a female emperor, dressed in a pure white dress, and even her hair is as white as snow.

After arriving beside Emperor Qianyi, she smiled slightly on her icy face and said, "Fellow Daoist Qianyi, I never expected to meet you here today."

Her gaze shifted to Li Yan, and to the remains of the deity that Li Yan was collecting, a look of curiosity in her eyes.

"Who is this fellow Daoist?" I was just passing by when I sensed your presence. I assumed you were vying for the Divine Relic's remains with this fellow Daoist and wanted to come and lend a hand. Now it seems I was wrong.

Emperor Qianyi smiled and said, "I haven't introduced Fellow Daoist Aoxue yet. This fellow Daoist is Emperor Zhenyan, a powerful emperor who has reached the pinnacle of the thirteenth rank."

"The ultimate thirteenth rank?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Aoxue looked at Li Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Immortal emperors of this caliber are not common.

"good."

Emperor Qianyi nodded: "This remains of a divine being were obtained by Fellow Daoist Zhenyan after he killed a Heavenly Dao Divine Being."

Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor felt a chill run down his spine.

This divine remains are so enormous that they are clearly comparable to top-tier treasures.

At first, she thought that the deity in that secret realm had met with an accident, which was why the remains were left behind.

But now that he heard it was Li Yan who had killed him, his heart immediately became heavy.

The remains of a deity, comparable to a top-tier treasure, must have possessed extraordinary strength in life.

Even an Immortal Emperor who has reached the pinnacle of the thirteenth rank might not be able to kill him.

Li Yan's ability to do this proves that he is not only an immortal emperor who has reached the thirteenth level of ultimate immortality.

At the same time, the laws that one comprehends must also be laws that are good at fighting.

Such a powerful individual is already considered a king-like being among the Immortal Emperors.

Just now, when she approached this place, she sensed a battle between emperors, and the aura of Emperor Qianyi was also present.

They thought Emperor Qianyi was fighting with someone over the remains of a deity, so they rushed over to help.

But now it seems that even if that were true, she couldn't possibly help Emperor Qianyi.

"By the way, I sensed a battle between Emperors here just now. If it wasn't you and Emperor Zhenyan, then who was it?"

Emperor Aoxue's heart stirred, and he thought of this point, so he asked Emperor Qianyi.

Emperor Qianyi took a deep breath, a hint of apprehension involuntarily flashing in his eyes, and explained:

"That was an Emperor who was cultivating the Law of Shadows. He tried to steal the remains of a God while Fellow Daoist Zhenyan was comprehending the Law."

"However, after Fellow Daoist Zhenyan discovered it, he only needed to strike once to annihilate that Shadow Emperor!"

Even now, Emperor Qianyi still feels terrified when he thinks about it.

It's not that I doubt Li Yan's abilities.

He witnessed Li Yan kill the Heavenly Dao God Venerable with his own eyes, so he naturally understood that Li Yan was extraordinary.

He was simply alarmed by Li Yan's methods.

Ordinary immortal emperors, in order to avoid making enemies, would usually not put someone into a deep sleep even if there were real conflicts.

After all, this is a blood feud.

If one has too many deadly enemies, and they join forces after being reborn, one will undoubtedly be in danger.

But Li Yan seemed to have no such concerns at all.

He clearly sensed that Li Yan had once killed an Immortal Emperor and they were mortal enemies.

However, when the Shadow Emperor attacked him, he did not hesitate at all and put the Shadow Emperor into a deep sleep.

In doing so, they undoubtedly forged a deadly feud between two immortal emperors.

It was as if they didn't care at all about him uniting to take revenge on him after his recovery.

Even a fourteenth-level Venerable Saint wouldn't usually dare to do this.

If Li Yan does this, it is highly likely that it will cause problems later when he advances to the fourteenth level.

Unless he can advance to a higher realm before his mortal enemies are revived.

However, for powerful beings at the Immortal level, even a minor advancement in realm usually takes hundreds of millions of years.

Therefore, in Emperor Qianyi's view, when Li Yan breaks through to the fourteenth level...

There will surely be mortal enemies he has provoked who will turn into human calamities to prevent Li Yan from advancing in rank.

"The True Word Emperor acted impulsively after all..."

Emperor Qianyi thought to himself.

He felt that he might need to advise the True Word Emperor in the future to prevent him from making too many enemies, which could really affect his own path of cultivation.

Upon learning this news, Emperor Aoxue's gaze towards Li Yan immediately became wary.

In her view, Li Yan was so bloodthirsty that Emperor Qianyi's association with him was undoubtedly like seeking a tiger's skin.

Emperor Qianyi saw through Emperor Aoxue's concerns and told her about his previous assessment of Li Yan.

Only then did Emperor Aoxue feel relieved.

She still had great faith in Emperor Qianyi's ability to judge people.

Since Emperor Qianyi felt that Li Yan was someone she could befriend, she wouldn't actively reject him.

Several days later, Li Yan finally collected the remains of the deity into the world.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Zhenyan."

Seeing that Li Yan had already taken away the remains of the God, Emperor Aoxue flew over to pay his respects to Li Yan.

She already knew the fate of the Shadow Emperor, so when Li Yan was collecting the remains of the God, she didn't dare to go forward and disturb him.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Aoxue." Li Yan looked at Emperor Aoxue with a calm gaze and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.

Emperor Qianyi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, don't underestimate Fellow Daoist Aoxue. Although she is a female cultivator, her ice and snow laws have reached the late stage of the thirteenth level, and she is not far from the ultimate of the thirteenth level."

"More importantly, Fellow Daoist Aoxue only stepped into the thirteenth level and achieved the position of Emperor tens of millions of years ago."

"To reach the late stage of the thirteenth rank in such a short time, one can only imagine Fellow Daoist Ao Xue's talent!"

Li Yan glanced at him slightly upon hearing this.

He already had some understanding of the Immortal Emperor level.

They naturally know the value of this.

The cultivation speed of Emperor Aoxue is already extremely terrifying, making him a true prodigy among immortal emperors.

"Fellow Daoist Qianyi, you flatter me."

The Snow-Proud Emperor smiled gently, blinked her beautiful eyes, and replied humbly.

Li Yan chatted with the two for a while and learned that Emperor Aoxue had received Emperor Qianyi's care before he even reached the thirteenth level.

If it weren't for Emperor Qianyi's intervention, Emperor Aoxue would have already met with misfortune before even reaching the thirteenth level.

It is precisely for this reason that Emperor Aoxue and Emperor Qianyi have an extremely good relationship.

After getting to know each other better, Emperor Qianyi shifted the topic to the remains of the God that Li Yan had just obtained.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, now that you have obtained the remains of the Divine Lord, shouldn't you integrate them into your flying sword next?"

"exactly."

Li Yan nodded.

Emperor Qianyi continued to ask, "Have you found a suitable master craftsman?"

"Master Craftsman?"

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise in his eyes.

Emperor Qianyi laughed and said, "That's right. If we want to maximize the potential of such a divine material as the remains of a divine being, it would be most appropriate to have a master craftsman create it."

"Otherwise, if you do it yourself, you won't be able to extract the essence of the divine remnant's remains. Many impurities will be incorporated into the flying sword, which will not only waste such a divine material, but also lower the quality of the flying sword."

"Only by summoning an immortal master craftsman who has mastered the laws of forging can you perfectly utilize the remains of a divine being and elevate your flying sword to its highest level!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's heart immediately stirred.

He had considered this when he collected the remains of the deity.

Collecting the remains of the divine lord would take a considerable amount of time, and if he wanted to refine them into the Ink Abyss Sword, it would take at least several years.

This was undoubtedly an extremely long time for Li Yan.

And the final result may not be as good as he had initially expected.

Only now, after being reminded by Emperor Qianyi, have I come to my senses.

Forging flying swords is a matter most appropriately handled by an immortal emperor who understands the laws of forging.

"I would appreciate it if Fellow Daoist Qianyi could advise me on which master craftsman to seek assistance."

Li Yan humbly sought guidance from Emperor Qianyi.

He was new to the place and saw very few immortal emperors.

As for where the Immortal Craftsman is, he knows very little.

However, Emperor Qianyi is an immortal emperor who has been in the outer realm for many years. He cultivates the laws of heaven and has dealt with many immortal emperors.

So right now, whether he wants to find the Divine Craftsman and ask him to reforge the Mo Yuan Sword for him depends on whether Emperor Qianyi tells him the news.

Emperor Qianyi replied to Li Yan, "In the Divine Fire Secret Realm, there is an immortal craftsman named Spirit Hammer!"

"The Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman is from the Ancient Hammer Clan, and his forging techniques are extremely superior among Immortal Emperors."

"I will certainly not disappoint you in crafting this flying sword for you, fellow Daoist."

Li Yan nodded.

The races from which immortal emperors are born are actually not all the same.

Emperor Qianyi and Emperor Aoxue are both from different races.

However, since humans are the protagonists of destiny, they will all transform into human form regardless of their race.

Especially after reaching the thirteenth level of immortality, it will create a body of laws for the immortal emperor.

From then on, the difference became even less noticeable.

However, racial talents will still be retained. For example, the reason why Emperor Qianyi cultivated the unpopular Heavenly Secret Laws is related to his racial talents.

There is also the Snow Empress, whose cultivation speed after entering the Immortal Realm is astonishing, which is also related to her racial talent.

Li Yan has now received the Five Great Dao Lords, but he is not in a hurry to return to the True Realm.

After learning that the Divine Hammer Craftsman was in the Divine Fire Secret Realm in the Inner Domain, he bid farewell to Emperor Aoxue and immediately set off for the Divine Fire Secret Realm.

Emperor Qianyi remained in Li Yan's sleeve world with the Five Great Dao Lords, and would occasionally give them some pointers.

Although Emperor Qianyi cultivates the laws of heaven, his rank is Emperor, so he can also give some guidance to the Five Great Dao Lords on their cultivation of laws.

Li Yan already knew the location of the Divine Fire Secret Realm from the inner domain spirit map given to him by the Prison Suppressor.

Therefore, Emperor Qianyi didn't need to give directions; he could find the place on his own.

Time flies, and a month has passed.

Fortunately, the Divine Fire Secret Realm was not far from where Li Yan was located.

So, although Li Yan did not speed up along the way, he arrived at the Divine Fire Secret Realm in just one month.

As soon as Li Yan stepped into the Divine Fire Secret Realm, he felt a scorching energy surging into his body from all directions.

This scorching energy was extremely difficult to deal with; even Li Yan's current body felt very uncomfortable.

He activated the laws to protect himself, thus isolating it.

"This Divine Fire Realm is truly strange!"

Li Yan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

If someone at the eleventh or twelfth level were to enter this secret realm, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Only an immortal emperor can survive in this treacherous place.

"Within this Divine Fire Secret Realm, there is a divine fire of law, which is why it is so scorching hot here."

"However, for experts who cultivate fire-based laws, this place is an unparalleled treasure."

Li Yan nodded. He had indeed sensed many powerful individuals cultivating fire-based laws within this secret realm.

Among them, besides the eleventh and twelfth level powerhouses, there were even several immortal emperors who cultivated fire-type laws.

Emperor Qianyi began to guide Li Yan towards an extremely hot place.

After crossing several large burning mountain ranges, Li Yan followed a tunnel and burrowed underground.

Finally, they ventured deep underground and arrived at a magnificent underground palace.

The palace was enormous, its entire body crimson, and it seemed to be engraved with strange formations, making the scorching energy within even more turbulent.

"Fellow Daoist has come from afar; is it because you wish for my help in crafting a powerful treasure?"

As Li Yan arrived and was examining the palace before him, he heard an aged voice coming from within the crimson palace.

"good."

He nodded in agreement, and then immediately bowed to the powerful figure in the palace, saying, "I am the True Word Emperor, greetings to the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer."

"I have come here today to ask the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer to forge a flying sword for me using the remains of a deity."

"The remains of a deity!?"

Upon hearing this name, the voice in the hall was clearly taken aback.

Then a short, burly old man, only as tall as Li Yan's chest, flew out of the hall.

"Fellow Daoist, is what you say true?" (End of this chapter)
