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

Chapter 333 Extraterritorial Battlefield
“Fellow Daoist Tianyin, you are mistaken. Since your human race has already obtained a supreme treasure, this Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsmanship should naturally be given to us.”

Mingqiong Zunsheng saw that Tianyin Shengren actually wanted to use Li Yan as a lure to get the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman to join the human race.

He couldn't sit still any longer and immediately retorted.

The other two immortal saints echoed this sentiment.

The human race now has another True Word Emperor who possesses supreme treasures, and both have reached the level of condensing holy seals.

If the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer were recruited to join their ranks and forged even more supreme treasures for the human race, then the human race would obviously become even more powerful.

Therefore, they absolutely would not allow the Heavenly Sound Saint to take away the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman.

"so what?"

Faced with the questions from the three immortal saints, the Heavenly Sound Saint only replied with this one sentence.

In her view, although Li Yan had obtained an unparalleled treasure.

But that was Li Yan's own good fortune, and had nothing to do with their competition for the ownership of the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman.

The attitude of the Heavenly Sound Saint displeased the three Immortal Saints.

But they dared not make any rash moves.

They had already witnessed the power of the Heavenly Sound Saint.

Even among the immortal saints, he can be considered a strongman, and his methods are extremely troublesome, making him not someone they can easily deal with.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, they really did not want to have a conflict with the Heavenly Sound Saint.

Seeing the several immortal saints drawing their swords, the Divine Craftsman with the Spirit Hammer hurriedly and cautiously explained, "This junior is ashamed of the kindness shown to you saints. Although I was fortunate enough to forge an unparalleled treasure for Fellow Daoist Zhenyan."

"But it was because Fellow Daoist Zhenyan's own natal sword was extraordinary that he was able to succeed."

"Therefore, if the Venerable Saints place their hopes on me refining supreme treasures, I'm afraid they will be disappointed."

Although the True Word Sword he forged for Li Yan was upgraded to a supreme treasure, it also improved his forging techniques.

However, the master craftsman Lingchui, who had experienced forging the Moyuan Sword, knew very well that he was not yet qualified to forge an unparalleled treasure on his own.

Although he was no longer in control of his own destiny, he still needed to explain the reasons behind it.

So that he might incur the wrath of the Immortal Saint for being unable to refine the supreme treasure.

Upon hearing this, the several immortal saints frowned.

As immortal saints, they naturally each had their own means to prove that the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman himself was not lying.

However, this alone greatly diminishes the value of the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman.

While top-tier treasures are rare, this is not the case for these four clans.

After all, even if an immortal emperor possesses a top-tier treasure, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot cause them any harm if he cannot condense a holy seal.

Only those like Li Yan, wielding supreme treasures and attacking immortal emperors capable of condensing holy seals, can pose a threat to them.

But it was just a threat.

In a one-on-one fight, even if an Immortal Emperor condenses a Saint Seal, he would never be a match for a true Immortal Saint.

That was a complete and utter domination; it couldn't be erased by any single outstanding achievement.

Of course, regardless of the circumstances, an Immortal Emperor who can condense a Holy Seal is already the most outstanding among the Immortal Emperors of all forces.

These are top-tier powerhouses below the saints of their respective races, capable of influencing the course of a battle.

Otherwise, the four factions wouldn't have been so excited after learning that the Divine Craftsman of the Spirit Hammer had created an unparalleled treasure.

Each side dispatched their Immortal Saint-level experts to rush here, hoping to recruit the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman.

After several rounds of heated debate among the sages, it was ultimately the Heavenly Sound Sage who proved to be the most skillful.

The other three saints were intimidated by the power of the Heavenly Sound Saint, and also because the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman was ultimately unable to forge an unparalleled treasure.

Therefore, they chose to give up the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsmanship, and the human race obtained the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsmanship.

Regardless, the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman had experience in crafting supreme treasures.

Who knows, one day he might suddenly have an epiphany and be able to refine an unparalleled treasure once again.

After the saints of the other three groups gave up, they hurriedly left.

As the Blood Calamity Profound Saint of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance was leaving, he gave Li Yan a deep look, as if he wanted to remember Li Yan's appearance.

With the protection of the Heavenly Sage, and having gained confidence on his own, he was able to achieve his goals.

Therefore, Li Yan was naturally not afraid and looked back calmly.

Blood Calamity Mystic Saint left in a fit of anger.

Seeing that the three Immortal Saints had left, leaving only the Heavenly Sound Saint and Li Yan, the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman finally relaxed.

He moved closer to Li Yan and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyan, now that I have joined the human race, I will have to rely on you from now on."

"If you need any more treasures to refine in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to refine them for you."

He was new to the human race, and fortunately, he knew Li Yan.

When we reach the Northern Border Sea in the future, we'll have someone to look after us.

Therefore, it was natural for him to want to build a good relationship with Li Yan.

Li Yan replied with a smile, "Of course."

"I happen to have a matter I would like to ask you for help with."

"Here are three top-tier treasures, left behind by those immortal emperors. However, they are somewhat damaged now. I wonder if you, my friend, can repair them?"

"This is simple."

The Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman readily agreed: "I will repair it for you once we reach the Northern Sea."

After the two finished speaking, the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman put away his palace and the treasures in the Divine Fire Secret Realm one by one.

Li Yan is now being targeted by the Blood Calamity Profound Saint of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance, and the Heavenly Rule Saint's methods against him have become ineffective.

He naturally couldn't stay in the Origin Realm any longer and invite trouble for himself.

So he followed the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman, and under the guidance of the Heavenly Sound Saint, they traveled towards the Northern Boundary Sea, leaving the Origin Realm together.

……

Northern boundary sea.

As soon as Li Yan returned to Tianheng City of the human race, after being settled by the Spirit Hammer Divine Craftsman, he immediately went to see the Heavenly Ruler Saint.

"What? You want to go to the extraterritorial battlefield at this time!?"

Upon learning of Li Yan's purpose, a look of surprise immediately appeared in the eyes of the Sage of Heavenly Ju.

He was very clear about Li Yan's current situation.

If it were to appear on a battlefield outside the realm, it might not be discovered by the Immortal Saints of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance for the time being.

But if someone stays there for a long time, then it will inevitably become impossible to hide.

When the Immortal Saints of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance attack, even though Li Yan now possesses supreme treasures and his strength is sufficient to condense a Saint Seal, he will absolutely find it difficult to resist.

Once killed by an Immortal Saint, it would take hundreds of millions of years to revive.

During this period, not to mention that the Realm of Truth might fall again as a result.

Li Yan will also lose this supreme treasure, and even if he recovers in the future, his strength will definitely be difficult to reach its current level again.

"You should think this through carefully. Once you enter the extraterritorial battlefield, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything."

"If we encounter danger, it will be difficult for us to provide assistance."

The outer battlefield was created by a group of immortal ancestors from the Boundary Sea in order to keep the demons of the Abyss Realm outside the Boundary Sea.

Not only are the demons of the Abyss Realm finding it difficult to infiltrate the Boundary Sea, but the various forces within the Boundary Sea also cannot freely enter the outer battlefield to resist the Abyss demons. If Li Yan ventures too deep into the outer battlefield and is targeted by the Immortal Saints of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance, it would be extremely dangerous.

However, the Heavenly Ruler Saint was unaware that Li Yan now possessed a trump card to deal with the Immortal Venerable Saint.

Therefore, although he still dared not underestimate the Immortal Saint, he would not be afraid in the slightest if he really encountered him.

Li Yan cupped his hands towards the Sage of Heavenly Ju and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Sage. However, my mind is made up. I ask that you grant my request."

Seeing Li Yan's firm resolve, the Sage of Heavenly Ju could no longer persuade him.

He didn't understand, given Li Yan's current strength and status, and the special nature of the True Word Realm.

In just a few hundred million years, even if Li Yan does nothing, he will be able to accumulate enough resources to break through to the fourteenth level.

There is absolutely no need to venture into battlefields outside the region.

What he didn't understand was that Li Yan's cultivation speed simply didn't allow him to waste any time.

The sooner he exchanges for the Origin Ancestor-level inheritance, the closer he will be to the fifteenth rank.

As for revealing his talent, he wanted the Northern Sea People to support him.

Li Yan, however, had never thought of it.

The risk is too great; if something goes wrong, it could ruin him forever.

He has already established a connection with the Northern Sea Clan, and with enough merit, he can exchange for an Ancestral-level inheritance. There is really no need for him to take such a risk.

"Even if the Void Ship is exposed, it is not a dead end for me."

"But once my talent is exposed, even the Immortal Ancestor will probably be moved."

"Whether it will be good or bad for me at that time is hard to say."

"The best outcome would be to end up like the Spirit Hammer Master Craftsman, in a situation where one has no control over one's own destiny."

Li Yan knew very well what he relied on to get to where he was today.

Therefore, I would never make a mistake in such a matter.

The Celestial Saint finally agreed to Li Yan's request and once again quietly sent Li Yan through the boundary gate in Tianheng City to the battlefield outside the domain.

He also presented Li Yan with the Three Daoist Holy Talismans.

"This is a divine talisman that only an Immortal Saint can create, capable of unleashing the power of an Immortal Saint's realm."

"Although you rely on the supreme treasure to exert the strength of a newly entered Venerable Saint, you must not think that you can fight against a true Immortal Venerable Saint."

"These three divine talismans contain the power of my fourteenth-order laws, and their effects can last for a thousand years."

"If you do encounter an Immortal Saint, immediately activate these three divine talismans; they may help you escape."

Before leaving, the Sage of Heavenly Ju gave these three divine talismans to Li Yan and taught him how to activate them.

The power of the laws within this divine talisman can be temporarily borrowed by Li Yan, allowing him to utilize its power to perform attacks, defenses, and escape techniques at the Venerable Saint level.

For an immortal emperor, it's almost as valuable as a supreme treasure.

However, creating such a divine talisman damages the laws of the Immortal Emperor, and each divine talisman can only be used once.

Therefore, it cannot be widely distributed and is even rarer than supreme treasures.

"Thank you very much, Senior Tianju!"

Li Yan accepted the talisman and bowed in thanks.

He then added it to his personal world.

With this divine talisman, he has more leeway to deal with enemies at the level of Immortal Saint.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't the Immortal Saint of the Myriad Races Blood Alliance possess some supreme treasure?"

Li Yan's heart stirred slightly.

Even the most basic treasures are of immeasurable value.

Although Li Yan's current level of cultivation is not enough to unleash the full power of the treasure.

However, it can be sold to the Sea People of the Northern Realm.

This yields far more merits than killing abyssal monsters in the outer battlefields.

Even if it's not possible to directly exchange for a Source Ancestor-level cultivation technique.

But I think there shouldn't be any problem exchanging for the Realm God Scripture.

"If there were high-level treasures, that would be even better!"

Upon thinking of this, Li Yan's heart skipped a beat.

However, only the most outstanding Immortal Saints can possess high-level treasures. These level of powerhouses are already the strongest below the Immortal Ancestor.

I wonder if his Void Ship can handle it.

Although the Void Ship has five tiers of weapons, Emperor Yongzhou was able to dominate the Immortal Emperor realm with only a third-tier weapon.

However, the gap between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal Saint is enormous.

Therefore, he could not guarantee that a fifth-tier weapon would be able to deal with the top experts among the Immortal Saints.

However, it seems unlikely that the Blood Alliance of Myriad Races would directly send a top-tier expert at the level of an Immortal Saint to deal with a mere Immortal Emperor.

"Fine, I'll have to wait until I reach the Immortal Saint realm before I can exchange for the Origin Ancestor level inheritance."

"By then, accumulating merits should be much easier."

After bidding farewell to the Celestial Saint, he headed directly into the deeper parts of the outer battlefield.

He has now simply passed through the boundary gate to the border between the outer battlefield and the boundary sea.

The battle between the powerful beings of the Boundary Sea and the demons of the Abyss takes place in the deeper part of the outer battlefield.

"However, according to the Celestial Saint, these abyssal demons are constantly moving towards the Boundary Sea."

"Sooner or later, we will break through the battlefield outside the domain and truly border the sea."

"These abyssal monsters feed on the world, which allows them to rapidly increase their combat power. Moreover, they are incredibly resilient, extremely difficult to kill, and numerous."

"Even if it cannot be revived like an immortal emperor, its advantage lies in its inexhaustible source."

"Moreover, there are also top-level experts at the Origin Ancestor Realm and Venerable Saint Realm in the depths of the abyss. No wonder the experts of the Boundary Sea have been trying to exterminate the abyss demons, but they have never been able to kill them all."

As Li Yan ventured deeper into the outer battlefield, he pondered these thoughts.

His destination was a battlefield in the outer domain called the Crimson Demon Refining Domain.

On this battlefield, there are many 13th-tier abyssal demons, including a Demon Refining True Venerable who has already reached the pinnacle of the 13th tier.

Regardless of the strength of the Demon Refining True Venerable, his difficulty in dealing with him is definitely among the top in the outer battlefield.

Once, a human demigod who possessed an unparalleled treasure attacked him, destroying most of his body, yet he still managed to survive.

And it quickly returned to its peak.

After that human demigod left, the Crimson Demon Realm began to lead countless demons to continue its outward expansion.

Some top immortal emperors intervened, but they only slowed down the expansion of the Demon Refining Crimson Domain.

"If I can conquer an existence like the Crimson Demon Refining Domain, I can exchange for the Domain Divine Scripture and begin cultivating this Saint-level inheritance of a world law."

The laws of the world are superior laws, and the merit required to exchange for them is much higher than that of other ordinary Venerable Saint-level inheritances.

In fact, the same applies to the Formless Sword Manual that Li Yan obtained after joining the human race.

It was only as compensation to the Heavenly Ruler Saint that Li Yan was able to obtain it so easily.

However, he had to accumulate merit points to exchange for the Divine Realm Scripture.
