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

Chapter 68 Heading to Zhongzhou
"Welcome the God of the House!"

The faces of the people in the streets and alleys of Heyang Prefecture were filled with happy smiles.

Children also ran to the streets to play.

Although they were unaware of the changes that had taken place during these days.

However, the traces of demons and ghosts are gradually decreasing, which shows that Heyang Prefecture is constantly developing in a good direction.

And until today, Heyang Prefecture welcomed the Prefecture God, which was even better news for them.

This means that from now on they don’t have to worry about any more demons and ghosts causing trouble in Heyang Prefecture.

The Demon Subduing Division.

Li Yan said with a smile to the short, hunchbacked old man in gray in front of him, "Friend Dao, the safety of Heyang Prefecture will be entrusted to you from now on."

The old man in gray nodded and said with a smile: "If Master Yan doesn't despise me, I will definitely do my best."

His name is Che Heng, and he is the old turtle that Mo Yu introduced to Li Yan earlier.

After receiving the news, he rushed to Heyang Prefecture without stopping.

The Demon-Subduing Department obtained an imperial edict from the State of Liang for him, and from then on he was the new God of Heyang Prefecture.

After the prefectural god sacrifice, he will be able to build a divine domain to protect the people of Heyang Prefecture.

At the same time, he also has the ability to improve his Taoism by refining the power of incense.

Although this would make it difficult to reach the level of a demon king, he had never thought of becoming a demon king in the first place, so naturally he didn't care about this shortcoming.

Alien races are naturally long-lived, and his original turtle clan is the best among them. Even if he becomes a demon king, his lifespan will reach an extremely terrifying level.

Mo Yu chuckled and said, "With Fellow Daoist Yan here, who would dare to cause trouble in Heyang Prefecture?"

"If that's the case, I can rest assured."

Li Yan looked calm.

Che Heng’s statue was built near Wuyu Mountain, and he planned to settle in Wuyu Mountain in the future.

The thousand-year-old mandrills in Wuyu Mountain had already escaped. Li Yan originally wanted to clean them up, but this mandrill ran really fast.

Mo Yu occupied Jishi Mountain and cleared out the man-eating monsters in the mountain.

It is no longer a forbidden area, but has become Mo Yu's residence.

The weak old monsters in Heyang Prefecture had already fled in fear after the news of Li Yan killing the Monster King spread.

"Now, Heyang Prefecture can finally allow me to practice with peace of mind."

Li Yan felt slightly relaxed.

But he thought of the enemies outside Liang State again, and a sense of urgency arose in his heart again.

He was very clear that although he was very powerful now, it was nothing in the eyes of those powerful alien warriors at the level of demon king.

Only by becoming a true monarch as soon as possible can he live upright in the sun with his true identity.

After seeing off Mo Yu and Che Heng, Li Yan stayed on the attic terrace.

He looked at the dark clouds in the sky and took a deep breath.

"One hundred and seventy-four years of cultivation, it will take another half a year for me to light up the seven spirits."

This time was not too long, but Li Yan still felt a little anxious.

Goose feather-like snowflakes slowly fell from the sky.

"Snowing."

There was total silence between heaven and earth, with only the sound of falling snowflakes remaining.

……

January has passed in a flash.

For ordinary practitioners, this is only a very short period of time.

But for Li Yan, his cultivation of Taoism has also greatly improved during this period of time.

"Two hundred and six years of cultivation has already surpassed the average cultivator who has achieved perfection in the Seven Souls."

In the attic.

Li Yan's eyes were solemn, and his face did not look happy because of this. Swallowing the thief's soul perfectly made him awaken the magical power of moving mountains.

By activating this magical power, he can gain tremendous strength, which even some alien races with natural great strength cannot match.

This is the true power to move mountains and fill the sea. The power of his four spirits is already enormous. With the blessing of this magical power, he is even more unmatched.

Li Yan also discovered that this magical power, like the power to ward off evil spirits, could also affect one's own cultivation.

His overall strength has improved again.

However, for him, this improvement in strength is nothing. The most important thing is to break through the True Lord realm.

"But why can't my soul sense it?"

Li Yan was very confused. He broke through the mystery in Hengjiang Mansion, realized his true heart, and sensed the soul in his body.

Originally, as long as his Taoism reached the required level, he would be able to directly become a True Lord with a high probability, and he has been working hard in this direction.

But after his daily practice in recent days, he discovered a fact that shocked him.

He can't sense the soul anymore!

This means that even if his seven spirits are complete at this moment, he cannot immediately break through to the True Lord realm.

"Why exactly?"

Li Yan thought to himself that he had been practicing as usual during this period of time and had not done anything abnormal. It did not seem like he had entered a maze because his cultivation was improving too quickly.

He did not get any useful information from Ling Daoren or his fellow human beings in several nearby states.

With his current level of Taoism, the only person who can provide him with help in Liang State is probably Ling Jun.

"It seems that I need to go to Lingya Mountain in Zhongzhou and find Lingjun to ask him."

Li Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and didn't panic too much.

Because he felt that Ling Jun must know the reason.

The last time, Lingjun had told him that if he continued to hide in Lingya Mountain, he would never be able to break through to the level of Zhenjun.

Although he is not hiding in Lingya Mountain now, he has been practicing in Heyang Prefecture. Is it because of this reason?

Heyang Prefecture is now protected by the Che Heng Divine Realm and has become very safe.

Even if he leaves temporarily, it will not affect the overall situation.

In addition, since it was related to his own path, Li Yan did not hesitate much. After informing Lian Mingkuan, he flew towards Zhongzhou on a cloud.

……

The territory of Liang State was not small, and was divided into four regions: east, west, south, north, and Zhongzhou.

Bozhou, where Li Yan was located, was within the jurisdiction of the northern region of Liang State.

There are dozens of states of the same size as Bozhou in the Northern Territory.

If Li Yan had not been so advanced in Taoism and able to ride on clouds at an extremely fast speed, it would have taken a lot of time just to leave the Northern Territory.

Even so, it took him three full days to leave the Northern Territory and enter the Central Plains.

And as soon as he stepped into Zhongzhou, he felt an inexplicable wave sweeping over him, and then he broke through a barrier and entered the territory of Zhongzhou.

“Could it be the divine realm?”

Li Yan's heart moved, but the thickness of that barrier was far beyond that of ordinary divine realms.

If this is true, then the strength of that Palace God is probably at least at the top level of a top demon king.

But considering that Lingjun is also in Zhongzhou, such a divine realm is not surprising.

When he arrived in Zhongzhou, he was not familiar with the place, so he slowly descended, preparing to wait for someone to lead the way.

"My name is Huang Yun, and I'm here to meet Master Yan!"

Not long after Li Yan landed, a Taoist priest in a yellow robe came over and bowed to Li Yan with a smile on his face.

This was the person from the Zhongzhou Demon Subduing Division who Li Yan contacted through the golden order and came to greet him.

"Master Yan, please follow me."

Huang Yunfei was guiding the way in front, and Li Yan followed behind him, flying in one direction.
