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

Chapter 324 Sage
"go!"

Li Yan dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately planned to escape from the Northern Boundary Sea and head to the Upper Origin Realm.

If it weren't for the fact that the Boundless Reincarnation couldn't take his avatar with him, he wouldn't want to stay in the Northern Sea.

His figure suddenly transformed into a streak of azure sword light, and in just a few breaths, he had already surpassed countless worlds, flying towards the Origin Realm.

But it was during his journey to the Origin Realm.

Sudden.

A furious voice reached his ears.

"How dare you attack my human emperor in my Northern Sea? Do you intend to become an enemy of my human race?"

In an instant, Li Yan felt his avatar being suppressed by a powerful force of law.

Under the suppression of this absolute power, all the power in his body seemed to become difficult to access for a moment.

In the blink of an eye, he fell from an immortal emperor with boundless power to the twelfth-rank Great Emperor.

This feeling of being suppressed is somewhat similar to the Dao of his own life soul.

However, this was a pure crushing force of the laws.

It was because the law level of this power was far higher than his that it could give him this feeling.

If they were of the same level, even if he were just an avatar, he should not be suppressed to this extent.

Alternatively, if he were here in his true form, he could use the Dao of Life and Soul to counteract the suppressive force of this law.

However, he obviously could not use the Earth Soul Dao Technique again to turn his original body around.

In this situation, even if his physical body were here, he would absolutely be unable to escape.

"This is... an Immortal Saint!"

Li Yan immediately understood who this power came from.

It was none other than a human race expert at the fourteenth level from the Northern Boundary Sea.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to suppress his power to such an extent.

"It seems they might be abandoning this avatar of mine."

Li Yan sighed inwardly.

He currently has no means to resist a level 14 powerhouse.

If his Void Ship had now been completely integrated and regained all its abilities...

That might give him the ability to contend with a fourteenth-tier Venerable Saint.

However, he has only recently taken back the Taixu Ship and it will take him several decades to fully control it.

Therefore, he has no choice but to surrender when facing the immortal saint of the human race.

The only saving grace is that he possesses the ability of boundless reincarnation, which has allowed his true form to escape this place.

An avatar, though important, can never compare to his true self.

next moment.

He looked up and saw a tall figure approaching not far from the Myriad Realms Space.

With long, flowing black hair and golden eyes, he stood in the vast universe clad in a golden robe, exuding an overwhelming aura.

The surrounding spatial turbulence seemed to be affected by the aura emanating from that figure, and it actually calmed down.

Upon seeing this person, Li Yan remained neither humble nor arrogant, and slowly cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "This junior, the True Word Emperor of the Canglan lineage, greets the Venerable Saint Senior."

"The True Word Emperor of the Canglan lineage?"

The immortal saint frowned slightly, sensing the aura emanating from Li Yan, and asked, "Are you a human?"

Li Yan nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and said, "Not bad."

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Saint looked at Li Yan with a hint of dissatisfaction.

He questioned, "Since you are also a human emperor, why did you violate the laws of the human race and attack Emperor Yongzhou?"

"I am the Heavenly Ruler Saint of the Human Race, in charge of the laws of the Human Race. Today you have violated the laws of my Human Race, and I will punish you accordingly."

"Hand over the treasures obtained from Emperor Yongzhou."

"Furthermore, you are punished by being sent to the Nightmare Demon Dead Zone in the outer battlefield for 100,000 years to guard against the abyssal demons. Do you accept this punishment?"

The Heavenly Ruler Sage's expression was solemn.

He had initially realized that Emperor Yongzhou had perished and thought that Li Yan was an abyssal demon that had intruded into the human realm.

But after he got closer to Li Yan, he realized that Li Yan seemed to be a human emperor.

This surprised him greatly.

After all, the entire Northern Sea Clan currently only has 1,008 Immortal Emperors.

Every human emperor is a precious asset to their race.

Although the Immortal Emperor will not perish after Li Yan kills the Eternal Day Emperor, the Eternal Day Emperor can still be resurrected.

However, the fact that the human race has lost an emperor over hundreds of thousands of years will obviously still have some impact.

Therefore, such behavior is naturally strictly prohibited.

Although the Celestial Saint would not have put Li Yan's avatar into a deep sleep in order to avenge the Eternal Day Emperor.

But the necessary punishments will still be imposed.

Li Yan raised his eyes to look at the Heavenly Ruler Sage, his gaze calm.

He originally thought that the Celestial Saint would directly attack his avatar, but he did not expect to be punished in this way.

Should his avatar be sent to the outer battlefield to guard it for 100,000 years?

Li Yan was naturally unwilling.

In reality, although he felt a sense of belonging to the human race, that's why he has been helping the human race rise all along.

However, the Sea People of the Northern Boundary are quite different.

The humans here are incredibly powerful. He had only managed to put the Eternal Day Emperor into a deep sleep, and before he could even escape the Northern Boundary Sea, he was caught up by the human saints of the Northern Boundary Sea and trapped.

Such a powerful human race has no need for his help.

Moreover, the thought of Emperor Yongzhou, a human emperor who was willing to attack the Canglan lineage in order to seize the Taixu Ship, is truly thought-provoking.

He was able to hold an important position in the Northern Boundary Sea Clan and receive protection from their powerful members.

He simply couldn't feel any sense of belonging to the Northern Sea People.

With this thought in mind, Li Yan calmly looked at the Sage of Heavenly Rule.

“Sage Tianju, now that my incarnation has fallen into your hands, I naturally cannot refuse whatever you desire.”

"However, I don't think I did anything wrong."

"Back then, my Canglan lineage lived peacefully in the realm under the jurisdiction of Emperor Yongzhou."

"But because of a treasure, my Canglan lineage was almost completely wiped out by Emperor Yongzhou."

"As the human emperor of the Canglan lineage, what's wrong with avenging the Canglan lineage?"

Li Yan spoke calmly, but his words were full of accusations against the Sage of Heavenly Ju.

He is merely an avatar here, so it doesn't matter if he angers the Heavenly Ruler Saint.

At most, it's just that the avatar is destroyed.

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Ruler Sage's heart stirred slightly.

He immediately snapped his fingers and calculated.

Now that Emperor Yongzhou has perished, everything he once concealed has been exposed.

Upon discovering the actions of Emperor Yongzhou, the Sage of Heavenly Ju's face immediately revealed a look of fury.

He never expected that Emperor Yongzhou, as an emperor of the human race, would not think about how to protect the human race.

They almost wiped out the Canglan lineage of the human race for a single treasure!
Ultimately, the Canglan lineage was forced to choose to live independently in other places rather than leave the Northern Border Sea.

No wonder Li Yan would risk coming here to seek revenge against Emperor Yongzhou.

"The True Word Emperor..."

The Heavenly Ruler Sage's gaze towards Li Yan suddenly changed.

He had originally thought that Li Yan was an immortal emperor born from the Northern Sea Human Race. But now, after calculating and deducing, he finally understood.

Li Yan was actually an immortal emperor who grew up independently in other world seas after the Canglan lineage fled there.

In other words, Li Yan himself did not receive any assistance from the Northern Sea People.

The Heavenly Ruler Sage's attitude towards Li Yan changed instantly, his low voice revealing a hint of apology.

"True Word Emperor, I had a misunderstanding earlier, please forgive me."

"I never expected that Emperor Yongzhou would be so audacious as to take such a ruthless action against the Canglan lineage!"

"I take back everything I said to you before."

“The Emperor of Eternal Day committed such atrocities, so it is perfectly reasonable for you to take action against him.”

With a thought, the Heavenly Ruler Saint released all the suppression he had placed on Li Yan.

A look of surprise appeared in Li Yan's eyes.

He hadn't expected the Celestial Saint to be so easy to talk to.

Faced with the Heavenly Ruler Sage's overtures, he naturally wouldn't invite trouble upon himself.

“You were deceived by Emperor Yongzhou before, but now that you have realized the truth, how can I blame you?”

“I have other important matters to attend to and cannot stay here any longer. Please allow me to leave the Northern Sea.”

Li Yan did not intend to have much contact with the Sage of Heavenly Ju.

No matter how benevolent the Heavenly Ruler Saint may appear now, he is still someone who can easily control his life and death.

How could he possibly place his own life on the attitude of the Sage of Heavenly Ju?

"True Word Emperor, do not be hasty!"

The Sage of Heavenly Rule called out to Li Yan.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

The Celestial Saint said, "Since you are an immortal emperor of my Northern Sea Clan who has been wandering abroad, now that you have returned, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"Regarding the matter of Emperor Yongzhou, once he recovers and returns, I, the Holy One, will surely punish him severely."

"As for the Canglan lineage, having suffered such a calamity, I, as a saint of the human race, should naturally make amends."

"Our human race is in dire need of manpower. If the True Word Emperor is willing to stay in the Northern Sea, I can promise you a suitable top-tier treasure!"

"Furthermore, you will have a great chance to serve the human race, achieve great merit, and obtain even more top-tier treasures in the future!"

The words of the Sage of Heavenly Rule were full of temptation.

Top-tier treasures can greatly enhance the strength of a thirteenth-tier Emperor.

Li Yan had previously used the Mo Yuan Sword to even kill the Heavenly Dao God Venerable, whose overall strength was close to the thirteenth level limit, with a single sword strike.

Emperor Yongzhou activated the Radiant Mirror, which was also able to break through the surface defenses of the Void Ship.

Its power has already exceeded the thirteenth-order range.

If it weren't for the fact that the Celestial Saint had already deduced that Li Yan was an Immortal Emperor who had advanced within a million years, he wouldn't have known.

The fact that Li Yan was able to annihilate the Eternal Day Emperor, whose strength was almost unbeatable within the thirteenth rank, has already proven Li Yan's power.

In just a million years, it has relied solely on itself, without depending on any other group.

Not only did he advance to become an Immortal Emperor, but he was also able to defeat the Eternal Day Emperor, which further demonstrated Li Yan's potential.

With such astonishing strength and potential, it is clear that Li Yan has a very high chance of reaching the fourteenth rank and becoming a human saint.

Faced with such a prodigy of the human race, how could he possibly let him leave?

That's why he offered these conditions in an attempt to entice Li Yan to stay.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's gaze remained unmoved.

It's not that he doesn't have a need for top-tier treasures.

His current avatar does not possess any top-tier treasures.

Therefore, the promises made to him by the Sage of Heavenly Ju were quite attractive.

However, he is still very wary of the Northern Sea People.

Since there is someone like the Eternal Day Emperor, it's hard to guarantee that other human powerhouses similar to him won't appear.

Even if the Celestial Saint is different from the Eternal Day Emperor, the human race has other saints, and even immortal progenitors.

These beings are now capable of easily crushing Li Yan.

He naturally didn't want to live in such an environment.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my mind is made up and I do not wish to stay in the Northern Sea for the time being."

Li Yan shook his head.

The Sage of Heavenly Rule was filled with astonishment upon seeing this.

He hadn't expected that Li Yan wouldn't even be interested in top-tier treasures.

"It seems that the matter of Emperor Yongzhou has hurt Emperor Zhenyan too deeply."

A trace of guilt appeared in the eyes of the Sage of Heavenly Rule.

In his view, Li Yan refused to return to the Northern Sea because of the existence of the Eternal Day Emperor.

He pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Yan with a solemn expression and said, "I know you have been wronged and are unwilling to return now, which is understandable."

"I just hope you know that you are ultimately a member of the Northern Sea Clan, so don't forget that."

"What I just said still stands. You may go to the human treasury and choose a top-tier treasure."

"Furthermore, I will not force you to return to the Northern Sea. After you have taken the treasure, you may leave on your own."

"Consider this top-tier treasure as compensation from me."

The words spoken by the Sage of Heavenly Rule were undoubtedly spoken with utmost sincerity.

Upon hearing this, Li Yan's heart stirred.

According to the Heavenly Ruler Sage, he took the top treasure without any restrictions.

That's something we could consider.

Ultimately, he was going to the core of the Origin Realm next.

Once he gets there, even if there are any hidden dangers in the top-tier treasures he takes, it won't matter to him.

"Wait a minute... Since the Northern Sea Clan is so powerful, doesn't that mean they possess an innate cultivation technique similar to the Taiyi Sword Manual?"

Li Yan was suddenly jolted.

He suddenly realized this.

For him, his desire to go to the core region of the Origin Realm was essentially to find an innate cultivation method that could allow him to practice the laws and directly improve his law realm.

The Northern Boundary Sea Clan occupied a portion of the Boundary Sea.

The clan not only has immortal saints, but also immortal progenitors.

Otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible to occupy the entire Northern Border Sea.

Such a powerful clan, surely they possess innate cultivation techniques?
Li Yan absolutely refused to believe it.

He even felt that the cultivation techniques passed down among the Northern Sea Clan were even more powerful than he had imagined!
Thinking of this, Li Yan's gaze toward the Sage of Heavenly Ruler immediately became extremely kind.

He respectfully cupped his hands towards the Sage of Heavenly Ju and said, "I was rude just now, and I hope the Sage will not take offense."

Since it concerned his own path to enlightenment, Li Yan's attitude towards the Sage of Heavenly Ruler changed drastically.

The Sage of Heavenly Ju was not surprised; he simply felt that Li Yan had sensed his sincerity and was beginning to change his mind.

"It's alright, it's all just a misunderstanding."

The Celestial Sage smiled faintly.

"exactly."

Li Yan nodded, then a burning glint appeared in his eyes as he asked, "May I ask, Sage, are there any innate cultivation techniques in the human race's treasure trove?"

"This junior does not seek top-tier treasures, but I wonder if the Sage could allow this junior to exchange a top-tier treasure for a primordial cultivation technique!"
