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

Chapter 89: The Spiritual Path

Li Yan's return shocked the Li family.

When the Li family members heard the news, they all rushed to pay their respects to Li Yan, the powerful practitioner.

He also gave away some of the amulets he had previously drawn as gifts.

Although there are no demons or ghosts causing trouble in Hengjiang Prefecture now and it will be safer in the future, these talismans of his can also prevent him from being contaminated by evil spirits and prolong his life.

Father Li looked at Li Yan excitedly. As Li Yan's father, he was very proud of his son's current achievements.

After having a reunion dinner with Li's father and his second sister Li Ke's family, Li Yan also gave the three of them some elixirs that he had prepared long ago to nourish the body and increase lifespan, and asked them to take them.

Under the effect of the elixir, some hidden illnesses in the three people's bodies were cured, and their lifespans were also significantly increased.

Li Yan did not explain his current strength and status to the three people, because it was too shocking. He just said that he was currently working in the Demon Subduing Bureau.

After chatting for a while, he returned to his own courtyard and began to meditate.

"Next, it's time for me to embark on the spiritual path."

Li Yan sat cross-legged in the room with a serious look, then slowly closed his eyes.

Three hundred magical powers would be enough to reach the standard of entering the first level of the spiritual path.

He had already surpassed this point when he just broke through.

And he also learned from Zhao Changsheng that the magical power and the earth-fixing soul stepping into the spiritual realm can play a strong auxiliary role in embarking on the spiritual path.

It is said that in ancient times, the human race was at its peak.

Some powerful people with detached minds who have seen through the world.

Before settling the soul, one can sense the life soul and the earth soul.

When one advances into the Soul-Fixing Realm, one can directly merge the seven spirits with the Life Soul and the Earth Soul, and step into the Spirit Lord Realm in one step.

Although the magic power still needs to be cultivated arduously, the magic power of this type of spiritual master is inherently stronger than that of a true master.

Moreover, as the spiritual master's soul that has been integrated with the earth soul, it can better resist the pressure on the spiritual path and has a great blessing effect in climbing the spiritual path.

An ordinary True Lord needs three hundred magical powers to enter the first level of the spiritual path.

However, this type of spiritual lord only needs thirty mana, or even less.

Therefore, as soon as their souls are established, these spiritual lords can go very far on the spiritual path and directly possess extremely high heavenly authority in the real world.

Even if he doesn't have much magic power, he can still master strength far beyond the True Lord realm.

Zhao Changsheng originally had this expectation for Li Yan, but Li Yan broke through too quickly and reached the realm of True Lord in a very short time, which made his expectation come to nothing.

After entering the realm of True Lord, Li Yan wanted to break through to the realm of Spirit Lord. In addition to comprehending the earth soul, he was also limited by his magic power.

One needs to cultivate his magical powers to the level of three thousand Daos before he can merge with the earth soul and enter the realm of the Soul-Fixing Spirit Lord.

According to Zhao Changsheng's estimation, even if Li Yan had the opportunity to speed up his cultivation of magic power, it would take at least three to five thousand years.

This period of time was quite long, so he always felt sorry for Li Yan.

It is believed that if Li Yan could wait a little longer, comprehend the Earth Soul and then break through the Fixed Soul, becoming a Spirit Lord in one step, he would be able to go a long way on the spiritual path and directly possess extremely strong strength in the Real World.

But Li Yan did not feel any regret.

With his training speed, three thousand mana seemed like a lot.

But for him, it would only take him seven more years of practice to achieve it.

If calculated according to real world time, this time will be even shorter.

However, comprehending the earth soul is not an easy task and requires a lot of time.

Not to mention seven years, even ten or a hundred years might not be enough.

Therefore, the best solution for him is to directly step into the realm of Zhenjun and accumulate magic power.

Moreover, in addition to achieving the status of Spirit Lord, it also provides blessings for those who embark on the spiritual path.

The same is true for supernatural powers.

But in comparison, the blessing is not that great.

Zhao Changsheng told Li Yan the clue of a sword-wielding magical power, hoping that after Li Yan mastered that magical power, he would be able to step into the first level of the spiritual path as soon as possible.

However, Zhao Changsheng did not know that before Li Yan entered the True Lord realm, his accumulation in the Seven Souls realm had enabled him to master the seven magical powers.

With the blessing of these seven magical powers, even if he is not a spiritual lord, I believe it will be of great help in embarking on the spiritual path.

"Next, let's see how far I can go."

Li Yan took a deep breath, and his spiritual thoughts triggered the connection with the Heavenly Dao Space, and he arrived in the Heavenly Dao Space in an instant.

...Inside the Heavenly Dao Space.

The spiritual thoughts of all the alien races in the real world are gathered here. Some of these people deliberately stay in the Heavenly Dao Space and observe the Heavenly Dao Monument.

If a small tribe gives birth to a strong person who has the potential to break through to the demon king realm, some nearby large tribes will take action to kill him to prevent the birth of a threat to their own tribe.

At the same time, some people are constantly trying to step into the spiritual path and enhance the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Within the real world, the distance walked on the spiritual road best represents the strength of a strong man.

If you take less than a hundred steps, you will not be able to enter the first level of the spiritual path and gain authority.

This level belongs to the lowest level among all True Lords and Demon Kings.

At the same time, the number is also the largest.

Because the vast majority of alien races other than humans rely on the power of their bloodline to break through.

After reaching the demon king realm, his potential was wasted.

Without opportunity, it is difficult to move forward.

The next level up is the strong ones who have taken a hundred steps on the spiritual road and stepped into the first level of the spiritual road.

After mastering the power of authority, the power of the spells and sorcery you cast will be greatly enhanced.

It is difficult for ordinary demon kings who have not stepped into the first level of spiritual path to compete with it.

And some alien races have powerful bloodlines and even have naturally awakened supernatural powers.

As soon as you break through, you will have the opportunity to step into the first level of spiritual path.

It is simply incomparable to ordinary demon kings.

When Li Yan's spiritual thoughts stepped into the Heavenly Dao space, he rushed directly towards the Heavenly Dao Monument without any hesitation.

The spiritual path is inside this Heavenly Dao Monument.

As soon as he crashed into the Heavenly Dao Monument, he felt the space shift and his body seemed to have arrived in another place.

The surroundings were filled with chaotic fog, with only a three-meter-wide bluestone road in the middle, long and endless.

This road is the result of the concept in Li Yan's mind.

In everyone's eyes, the shape and size of the spiritual path are different.

The only thing that is the same is that you can't see the end of this road at all.

For the human race, this path is an opportunity to become immortal.

For other races, it is also their hope to advance into their ancestral realm.

Li Yan took a deep breath and slowly took the first step.

……

"Someone has started to ascend the Spiritual Path."

In the dark void, spiritual thoughts emerged.

They noticed that Li Yan had stepped onto the spiritual path, and they all looked towards the area of the Heavenly Dao Monument where Li Yan had entered.

Although it is impossible to observe Li Yan’s specific situation on the spiritual path.

However, through the Dao patterns that appeared on the Heavenly Dao Monument, one could tell how far Li Yan had gone on the spiritual path.

"Who is this fellow Taoist? He has just started on the spiritual path, from the first step, and has already reached the thirty-third step so quickly!"

A demon king of the elephant ape tribe shouted in surprise.

The Dao patterns on the Heavenly Dao Monument changed rapidly, from one to thirty-three in a very short period of time.

This means that the resistance on the spiritual path did not stop the strong people on the spiritual path at all.

He took thirty-three steps directly on the spiritual path.

"Fifty-six steps!"

"It's so fast! Could it be that this is the descendant of some ancient emperor? Judging from its posture, it may be about to step directly into the first level of the spiritual path!"

Several demon kings from the Sea Tiger Tribe, the Mist Bird Tribe, and the Shadow Fox Tribe all exclaimed in surprise.

Even if you are only walking the first hundred steps of the spiritual path, the pressure will increase as you go further, and your speed will also decrease.

For example, the demon king of the sea tiger tribe was trapped at the 97th step of the spiritual road. Although he was only three steps away from the first-level spiritual road, he still found it difficult to enter.

And the strong man who stepped into the spiritual road in front of him has taken fifty-six steps in such a short time. There is no way he will stop there. According to his current speed, he can at least step into the first level of the spiritual road.
