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

Chapter 77 Reaction
now.

The far north of the real world.

Sitting cross-legged on a high platform made of skulls was a hunchbacked old man with black smoke coming out of his body.

There were gusts of cold wind all around, and the smell of corruption and dampness filled the space.

On the ground outside the platform, there were six strange-looking people sitting upright. They were holding black triangular flags with special red patterns painted on them, and they were chanting inexplicable tunes.

next moment.

The hunchbacked old man sitting cross-legged on the high platform suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and his breath suddenly became weak.

The six people under the platform had their bodies exploded in an instant, their blood spilled onto the dry and yellow ground, and they died inexplicably.

"How can it be!"

The hunchbacked old man opened his eyes, his eyes full of fear and confusion.

With his realm of the late Demon King, he used his magical power of curse to kill a mere human being at the realm of True Person, but he would actually suffer backlash?

His name is Zhugui, and he is best at using the magical power of cursing and killing.

Even if he could not kill the practitioner at the same level directly with his curse, he could still seriously injure him with his curse-killing power.

It would not be like today, where the curse failed and he suffered backlash, directly shortening his lifespan by 300 years.

If he had not already mastered his curse-killing powers, the backlash alone would have killed him on the spot.

Not long ago, he was commissioned by the True King of the Rong tribe to curse and kill Master Yan of the human race.

This is the person who is most closely related to the Immortal Li on the Heavenly Dao Monument, which was divined by the ancient emperor of the Rong tribe at great cost using his magical power to divine the secrets of heaven.

The Rong tribe was the original owners of the Ancient Imperial Continent.

After being injured by the Spirit Lord Zhao Changsheng, he was forced to withdraw from the Ancient Emperor Continent.

Therefore, they have a deep hatred for the human race.

So after learning that there was an Immortal named Li on the Heavenly Dao Monument who had the potential to break through to the realm of True Lord, he immediately began to investigate the true identity of Immortal Li.

It was only because Lingjun concealed the cause and effect of Li Yan's surname that the Rong tribe has never been able to find out Li Yan's true identity.

It was not until the ancient emperor of the Rong tribe personally took action to divine the secrets of heaven that he figured out Li Yan's hidden identity as Master Yan, which was vaguely related to Master Li.

So he sent out the True King of the Rong tribe and commissioned the Curse Ghost to curse and kill the True Man Yan.

But the Curse Ghost never expected that with his level of curse-killing power, he would actually fail and even suffer a considerable backlash.

"It seems that this Master Yan is really the Master Li on the Heavenly Dao Monument!"

"Not only has he reached the realm of a True Lord, he also possesses the magical power to deal with curses!"

When he used his curse-killing power just now, he felt that the target was neither in the real world nor in the virtual world.

It's like being blocked by an invisible membrane.

If his curse-killing ability had not reached an extremely high level, he would not have been able to penetrate that layer of barrier and find the target.

This was obviously a magical power that blocked the power of his curse.

That's why the curse failed in the end, causing him to suffer severe backlash.

He looked gloomy, and a wisp of spiritual thought penetrated into a black jade token to communicate with the True King of the Rong tribe.

Although the curse failed, the remaining reward still had to be collected.

And he had to add more weight to the situation. He couldn't be the only one to suffer the loss of three hundred years of his life.

He was not worried that the Rong people would default on their debts.

As a king who has cultivated the magical power of cursing, no tribe in the real world dares to default on his debt.

……

Five realms.

Li Yan was not too worried about the black line curse.

Although the black line was indeed extremely strange, its power was too weak to pose a threat to his life.

At most, it was difficult to deal with and destroy, so he used his divine power of heavenly punishment to break it apart.

But he did not expect that his use of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Ability to destroy the black line would shock the people of the Blue Flame Sect. Unlike the True Realm cultivators, the cultivators of the Five Realms, starting from the True Dan Realm, would go through a thunder tribulation every time they advance to a higher realm.

Only after being struck by thunder can one truly enter the next realm.

Li Yan activated his divine power of Heavenly Punishment, and the dark water thunder that he brought down did not seem to be much different from a heavenly calamity.

Therefore, at first, the people of Qingyan Sect even mistakenly believed that it was a thunder tribulation brought down by their ancestor who broke through the Yuantai realm.

It was not until I paid attention to the direction where the thunder was coming that I realized it was not the one.

"Why is the Heavenly Tribulation gone?"

The practitioners of the Qingyan Sect made doubtful sounds.

Li Yan only summoned out a mysterious water thunder to break the black line curse.

Therefore, only one bolt of lightning came down from the calamity cloud.

It takes at least nine heavenly thunders to achieve the Yuantai realm, so they feel strange.

"I saw it. The lightning was heading towards the place where Master Yan Feng was in seclusion."

With such a big thing happening on Jade Peak, the people there would naturally not remain indifferent.

Some of them noticed that the thunder was striking towards where Li Yan was, and they all looked excited.

In the eyes of practitioners in the Five Realms, thunder tribulation represents a symbol of power.

Although Li Yan was only at the True Dan stage in their eyes, the fact that he could attract thunder tribulation directly demonstrated his strength.

Therefore, not long after, Jiang Ming came to the door in person.

"Master Yan, may I ask what happened to that thunder tribulation just now?"

"And... why did you join my Qingyan Sect?"

Jiang Ming looked at Li Yan solemnly. As a cultivator at the third level of the True Dan Realm, he felt a sense of suffocation when he saw the blue lightning descending from the calamity clouds.

He felt that even the nine levels of thunder tribulation required to break through the Yuantai realm might not be as powerful as the one that had just descended.

Such a powerful thunder tribulation actually struck Li Yan.

However, Li Yan obviously did not look injured, which made him conclude that Li Yan's strength was not as simple as the True Dan realm.

Even an extremely terrifying thought emerged in his mind.

That is, Li Yan is a venerable in the Yuantai realm.

Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why such a terrifyingly powerful thunderbolt would fall on Li Yan, but Li Yan was not hurt at all.

As a result, he had to doubt the motives of Li Yan and his three companions in joining the Qingyan Sect.

"Something happened to me just now, so I attracted a thunder tribulation."

"As for joining the Qingyan Sect, it was only to find a place to stay. Please rest assured, Sect Master Jiang."

Seeing Jiang Ming's doubts, Li Yan explained it directly.

He knew that his strength was exposed because of the use of the divine power of heavenly punishment, but it didn't matter.

Because with his strength, he doesn't need to hide in this world.

He also had a general understanding of this period of time.

The most powerful force in the Northern Frontier is the Holy Land.

And in the holy land, the strongest is only at the Yuantai realm.

According to Taoist Ling's inference, the Yuantai realm is roughly equivalent to the Seven Souls True Person realm, and it is impossible for it to pose any threat to him.

He can continue to practice here with peace of mind until he reaches the realm of True Lord, and then he will return to the True Realm.

After receiving Li Yan's answer, Jiang Ming immediately replied firmly: "As long as you are sincere in joining the Qingyan Sect, I can guarantee that the Qingyan Sect will never treat you unfairly."

"In addition, if Peak Master Yan needs any resources in the future, you can come to me directly. As long as Qingyan Sect has them, I will definitely not refuse."

No matter what Li Yan's true intention is, since he has expressed goodwill to the Qingyan Sect, he will not remain silent.

Having such a strong person join the Qingyan Sect is also a great thing for the Qingyan Sect.
