I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 122 Breaking through the Fifth Realm, Revisiting the Old Place ()

After the battle of Yuanyang Mountain.

Everyone witnessed the ruthless methods of Lai Yang, the new elder. Even Meng Changgeng, the deputy chief of the Law Enforcement Hall, was defeated when he personally stepped forward. Suddenly, no one dared to provoke him easily.

Lai Yang's name also became well-known in the Wenxian Sect.

But Lai Yang didn't care about all this.

With his current strength, he can easily deal with opponents in the Hedao realm, but when facing opponents in the Dujie realm, he must use the trump card of Burning Life.

However, to fight against the Tribulation Realm, he would have to pay a huge price in terms of his lifespan, and he wouldn't be able to use it too many times.

Even today, it is still necessary to elevate the spiritual realm as soon as possible and officially enter the state of harmony with the Dao.

With the blessing of the system's attributes, his mana attribute has exceeded two thousand.

According to the percentage enhancement, the power of the skills displayed by Lai Yang is twenty times greater than that of ordinary people. Even a Yuanying realm cultivator is qualified to fight against a Shenhua realm cultivator, but that's all.

The enemies he faces now are not of the same age group. Those so-called geniuses are often powerful cultivators who have practiced for hundreds or thousands of years.

They were often at the fifth level of Divine Transformation, and as the people he met became more and more powerful, there was already a danger of reaching the sixth level of Dao Integration, or even the seventh level of Tribulation Transcendence. The strength of the fourth level of Nascent Soul was simply not enough.

In most cases, he has always relied on his strong physical body to fight against others.

There are no heaven-defying skills, no heaven-defying magical powers, and no powerful treasures.

In the past, he was able to be invincible in the remote corner of the Mowu Dynasty, but when he arrived at the real continent of immortal cultivation, his foundation was not enough when facing the true geniuses and strong men in the immortal cultivation world.

From this, Lai Yang finally understood.

There is always someone better than you, and there is always something better than you. Even if Lai Yang has a system, it is not easy for him to be free and unrestrained in the world.

Even if he doesn't fight or compete, he will inevitably be targeted by thieves.

The essence of cultivating immortals is to eat people.

If you don't eat others, others will eat you.

Lai Yang handed over the management of Yuanyang Mountain to several medicine boys, while he began to practice hard to improve his strength.

Time passes by minute by minute, month by month, and year by year.

In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

During this period, Li Xiaowen and Li Xiaonuan visited Yuanyang Mountain several times, but the information they received was that Lai Yang was in seclusion practicing, and they returned empty-handed.

Lai Yang, who was concentrating on cultivation, had absorbed and refined a large amount of elixirs made from natural treasures. He had already broken through to the peak of the fourth realm and was just one step away from reaching the fifth realm of spiritual transformation.

Lai Yang had a premonition that the thunder tribulation was approaching, and he could not endure the tribulation in Yuanyang Mountain, otherwise everything in Yuanyang Mountain would be destroyed by the thunder tribulation. He immediately chose to come out.

As usual, Lai Yang went to Yuanyang Mountain for two rounds to learn about the recent situation of the Yuanyang Mountain medicinal fields.

"Elder, the two disciples who were directly taught by you a month ago came again. When they heard that you were in seclusion, they left." The medicine boy reported as usual.

Lai Yang nodded slightly to show that he understood.

"Oh, Elder, there's one more thing. The two sisters who were directly taught by me said they would be representing the sect to participate in the Immortal Sect Youth Competition. They will be away from the sect for three to five years and will not be able to come visit you for the time being. Please take care of yourself in the sect."

"Okay." Lai Yang responded calmly, then said, "For the next period of time, I will be leaving the Wenxian Sect temporarily. Yuanyang Mountain will be handed over to you."

"Elder, please rest assured. Leave Yuanyang Mountain to us. We will definitely protect every blade of grass and every tree on Yuanyang Mountain." The medicine boy said seriously.

Over the years, Lai Yang treated them very well and gave them a few precious pills to improve their cultivation every time they came out of seclusion.

When they first arrived, they were afraid that the new elders would exploit them.

The elders trusted them so much, so they naturally did not want to disappoint him and lose this great job on Yuanyang Mountain.

Hearing this, Lai Yang showed a look of relief, gave them a few third-grade pills, and then left the Wenxian Sect, preparing to find a place to transcend the tribulation.

Not long after Lai Yang left the Wenxian Sect, the news reached the ears of Meng Fei and others.

"You said that guy from Yuanyang Mountain left the Wenxian Sect?"

"Yes, Elder Meng, my people saw it with their own eyes."

"Okay, I can't do anything to you when you ask the Immortal Sect. You are courting death." Meng Fei's eyes were cold.

The humiliation he suffered in Yuanyang Mountain ten years ago was still vivid in his mind, and many elders even mocked him behind his back.

This matter has almost become an indelible knot in Meng Fei's heart.
Now the opportunity to resolve his worries is before him, and he should cherish it.

Meng Fei immediately arranged everything and left the Wenxian Sect following Lai Yang's trail.

This time, he would never give the other party a chance to survive.

Because he was looking for a place where he could break through safely, Lai Yang did not go to crowded places, but went into the endless mountains.

Not long after Lai Yang left Wenxian Sect, he noticed that there seemed to be a tail following him.

At first he thought it was a coincidence, but after he flew for a while, the other party was still following behind him, always keeping a certain distance from him.

Lai Yang realized that things were not that simple.

He thought he was hiding well and Lai Yang hadn't discovered him, but he didn't know that Lai Yang had sensed his presence from the very beginning.

Lai Yang's soul was so powerful that he could even detect a seventh-level cultivator hiding in the void, not to mention that the other party was just an ant who was not even at the sixth level.

After realizing the other party's intention, Lai Yang did not rush to find a place to break through.

The fact that the other party did not attack him immediately indicated that there was probably someone else behind him.

In this case, Lai Yang doesn't mind catching them all in one fell swoop. He doesn't like the feeling of being watched in the dark all the time.

Guo Lang's strength is not that great, but his ability to conceal his presence and track others is very powerful. Generally, few people who are targeted by him can escape.

Lai Yang is just a man with a strong body, who has not even broken through the sixth realm. Naturally, he is confident that he can control the other party and exchange it for benefits from Meng Fei.

Anyway, he wouldn't take any action. At most, he would help Meng Fei keep an eye on Lai Yang until Meng Fei came over and dealt with him personally.

Even if the Immortal Sect investigates, they will not be able to trace it back to him in the end.

However, Guo Lang would never have thought that his wishful thinking this time had targeted the wrong person.

Suddenly, Lai Yang disappeared.

Guo Lang was startled and immediately released his spiritual sense to explore the surrounding atmosphere. He murmured in doubt, "Where is the person?"

At this moment, a ghostly figure appeared behind Guo Lang, put his hand on his shoulder, and asked calmly, "Are you looking for me?"

Guo Lang was shocked and turned back subconsciously.

Before he could see the face of the person who spoke, a fist with terrifying power landed on his face, beating him unconscious.

Lai Yang sealed Guo Lang's cultivation and tied him to a tree.

After finishing everything, Lai Yang used his skills again to completely conceal his aura, hiding in the dark and observing the situation.

Lai Yang wanted to see who was plotting against him.

About a quarter of an hour later, several auras appeared within Lai Yang's spiritual perception range.

When he saw the person's face clearly, Lai Yang's heart sank.

Meng Fei! This guy couldn't wait to chase him out shortly after he left the Wenxian Sect.

This can happen once or twice, but not a third time. Since he is determined to die, why shouldn't Lai Yang satisfy him?

Quietly, a sword appeared in Lai Yang's hand.

Meng Fei and others followed Guo Lang based on the information and marks he provided. When they saw Guo Lang tied to a tree, uneasy thoughts suddenly emerged in their minds.

Before they could react, a cold and ruthless voice like the god of death rang out: "Die!"

Immediately afterwards, countless sword lights filled with terrifying murderous intent tore through space, killing everyone's bodies and souls.

Meng Fei never thought until his death that he would die so hastily and unexpectedly.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Lai Yang was calm. He skillfully took the storage bags from everyone, then swung his sword and killed Guo Lang, and then quickly left the place.

At the same time, Meng Changgeng's face changed in the Wenxian Sect's Law Enforcement Hall. He took out Meng Fei's life plate which had suddenly shattered in his arms.

The broken life card means that the owner of the life card has died.

Meng Chang couldn't believe it and immediately ordered people to find out the whole story.

A few days later, everyone found the remaining breath and blood of Meng Fei and others in the mountains a thousand miles away from the Wenxian Sect.

As for their corpses, they had been eaten up by the monsters in the mountains over the past few days.

Meng Fei's death made Meng Chang even more sad and angry. He vowed to dig three feet deep into the ground to find the murderer who killed Meng Fei.

However, at this moment, Lai Yang had already fled far away and no one knew where he went.

Even though Meng Chang wanted to use the Wenxian Mirror to find and lock Lai Yang's location, the Wenxian Mirror was the sect's treasure.

Except for Lan Qingxian, the sect leader, anyone who dares to touch the Questioning Immortal Mirror will be sentenced to death.

Even though Meng Changgeng is the deputy hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall, strong people in the Tribulation Realm are no exception.

However, Lan Qingxian and others went to participate in this Immortal Gate Conference and will not be back for more than three to five years.

Three to five years is just a blink of an eye for a cultivator like him, and he can afford to wait.

On the other hand, Lai Yang's killing of Meng Fei was bound to create an everlasting feud with Meng Changgeng, who was in the Tribulation Realm.

There is no way to hide this matter. With the other party's power and means, even if they can't find out, they will definitely blame him for it.

They had a knife at his neck, he couldn't just stretch his neck and let them chop it off.

In the past few years, Lan Qingxian, Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan left the Wenxian Sect, so there was no need for him to stay any longer. He should first improve his own spiritual strength.

If there is a chance in the future, Lai Yang will definitely send Meng Changgeng down to accompany his son so that they can be reunited.

Somewhere deep in the mountains, dense thunderclouds covered the sky.

A tall figure rushed directly into the thundering tribulation, continuously absorbing the energy of the thunder tribulation to increase its own strength.

To him, the terrifying thunder tribulation did not seem to be a symbol of destruction, but a tonic.

Lai Yang was completely defenseless and endured the baptism of thunder with only his physical strength.

Even after the thunderstorm completely dissipated, he still had an expression of being unsatisfied.

Lai Yang's cultivation continued to improve during the baptism of thunder tribulation, and he even broke through three small realms in one fell swoop and entered the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

From then on, Lai Yang completely mastered the power of thunder tribulation. He could even absorb the violent energy contained in thunder and lightning and transform it into his own cultivation.

What living beings fear most is the power of thunder.

Throughout history, countless powerful cultivators have died under the calamity of thunder.

Lai Yang, on the contrary, was able to completely integrate and master the power of thunder tribulation, and his physical body became more and more abnormal.

Lai Yang killed Meng Fei and could not go back to Wenxian Sect. Xiao Wen and Xiao Nuan were under the protection of Lan Qingxian, so he did not need to worry.

Breaking through the fifth realm consumes more resources than he imagined. The cultivation resources in his storage bag were basically used up in this breakthrough thunder tribulation, leaving only a few million spirit stones.

At this moment, Lai Yang suddenly remembered that he still had a disciple in Lingtian Sect. He didn't know how he was doing after so many years.

"I can't go back to Wenxian Sect anyway, so I might as well go and see him."

After thinking about it, Lai Yang left the mountains, left the Zhongzhou continent, and headed for Lingtian Sect.

After reaching the level of Spirit Transformation, Lai Yang can cross space and teleport to any place within his sight or within a hundred miles of his spiritual awareness.

As his cultivation level improves, the space he can instantly cross will become larger and larger, making it perfect for traveling.

Not long after, Lai Yang returned to the location of Lingtian Sect.

However, when Lai Yang returned to the Lingtian Sect in his memory.

The scene before him made him freeze in place.

The former Lingtian Sect has now become a ruin.

Judging from the damage, it seemed that this place had experienced an extremely fierce battle, and even two of the five main peaks of Lingtian Sect disappeared.

"What's going on? Was the Lingtian Sect wiped out?"

Lai Yang was shocked. He used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that there was no trace of other people in Lingtian Sect.

Afterwards, Lai Yang left the ruins of Lingtian Sect and went to the town near Lingtian Sect to inquire about the news.

Lai Yang found a crowded and lively restaurant where gossip was the most widely known.

He took out a spirit stone and called the waiter, "I want to ask you something."

Seeing the spirit stone on the table, the waiter immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said enthusiastically, "Sir, what do you want to know?"

"I remember there was a sect next door. Why did it disappear?" Lai Yang asked calmly.

"The sect next door? Oh, you mean the Lingtian Sect? I know that."

The waiter looked around cautiously, then approached Lai Yang and whispered in his ear:

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone. It's said that Lingtian Sect offended some powerful forces and was plotted against. A few years ago, people from Tieshan Sect attacked Lingtian Sect and wiped it out in less than a day."

"Is the Tieshan Sect that powerful? Can they destroy the Lingtian Sect?"

"Of course, the Tieshan Sect doesn't have that ability. There must be a big shot behind the scenes. These things are common in our area. There's nothing strange about them. I heard that the leader of the Lingtian Sect was a powerful cultivator at the Half-Step Hedao Realm, and he was beaten to death without even blocking a single blow."

Lai Yang's eyes darkened slightly: "So, all the people from Lingtian Sect are dead?"

"I don't know about that. I just heard the guests in the restaurant talking about it."

Lai Yang didn't ask any more questions. He casually tossed the spirit stone on the table to the waiter and said, "Go and get busy."

"Okay, sir, thank you. Feel free to tell me if you need anything." The waiter quickly put the spirit stone into his arms and said with a smile.

Lai Yang glanced at the sake on the table, then turned to look at the gray sky outside the window.

"Iron Mountain Sect."
