Invincible!

Chapter 131 One Year

"???"

Upon hearing Nangong Zhaoying's words, not only Xiang Yangsheng, Zhang Yue, and Xun Dao, but even Xu Chang'an felt a moment of utter bewilderment.

It took me a while to react.

"Senior Brother Li entered the Dao through a defiant path!?"

"Slayed a Foundation Establishment cultivator!?"

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
No matter how wildly rumors spread, they shouldn't be this absurd, right?
Just because people say what others say doesn't mean they've lost their basic judgment, does it?

However, after a moment, Xiang Yangsheng realized something: "Senior Sister Zhaoying, are you saying that Li Xian killed a great demon who is equivalent to a Dao Foundation cultivator in our human race? That is indeed true! The Crimson Scale Fish Demon died at the hands of Senior Brother Li..."

"I can still distinguish between a great demon and a Dao Foundation cultivator."

Nangong Zhaoying interrupted him: "Rumor has it that Senior Brother Li not only defied the odds to enter the Dao, but also killed a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, and that was also a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xingtian Palace!"

"The foundation of the Xingtian Palace!?"

Xu Chang'an was taken aback for a moment, then said without hesitation, "That's impossible!"

Someone like him, whose Dao foundation has been established for less than ten years, does indeed risk becoming a stepping stone for a once-in-a-century genius, but the Xingtian Palace…

They are all established Daoist foundations!

They may not have the best aptitude, but each and every one of them is definitely someone who has been cultivating at the Foundation Establishment stage for a long time.

How could someone with such a strong foundation in Dao be killed by someone at the Innate Realm?!
“I know it’s hard to believe, and many people even consider it a rumor, but… since the news came from Xingtian Hall, it can’t be baseless. Something must have happened. Just to be on the safe side, let’s ask Senior Brother Li.”

Nangong Zhaoying added, "This is Senior Sister's idea."

The senior sister she mentioned...

Naturally, it was Nangong Feixu who was the absolute core of their circle.

Judging from her tone, it seems that Senior Sister Nangong found out the information?
Moreover, it seems that Senior Sister Nangong is starting to believe it?
Immediately, Xiang Yangsheng, Zhang Yue, Xun Dao, and even Xu Chang'an all fell silent, unsure of what to say.

After a long while, Xiang Yangsheng hurriedly took out his identity token: "I...I'll ask Senior Brother Li right away..."

He quickly sent the message.

then……

Stone sinks into the sea.

After waiting for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, there was still no response.

"Send it again."

Nangong Zhaoying said.

"it is good."

Xiang Yangsheng responded and sent another message asking, "Senior Brother Li, during the Cloud Mist Swamp Trial, did you manage to kill a Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Xingtian Hall?"

After the message was sent, another incense stick's time passed.

This result...

Clearly, the growth in their circle's strength would benefit both Nangong Feixu and them, but Li Xian didn't answer, which secretly relieved Xu Chang'an.

He remains the top expert under Senior Sister Nangong.

"Okay, he's not responding, and I think that in itself means something."

Xu Chang'an said, "Those who can truly defy the innate and enter the Dao are all, without exception, true geniuses of their sects. A high-ranking member would have already stepped forward to take them as disciples. So why would Li Xian stay in his courtyard and refuse visitors?"

Since the news came from Nangong Feixu, he dared not question how absurd it was.

Nangong Zhaoying, Zhang Yue, Xun Dao, and the others were also somewhat disappointed upon seeing this.

Xiang Yangsheng said, "Senior Brother Li sometimes gets so engrossed in cultivation that it's normal for him to not reply to any messages for ten days or half a month. Let's wait patiently."

"We've been blindly following the crowd."

Nangong Zhaoying said regretfully, "The previous champion, An Jing, forged an unparalleled Dao foundation, but even at the Innate Realm, he still couldn't reverse the Dao and enter the Dao. This shows how difficult it is to achieve this. Although Master Li surpassed An Jing to become number one on the Dao Candidate List, the two should be at the same level. Naturally, he couldn't do the feat of reversing the Dao and entering the Dao either. Besides... his opponent is the Dao foundation of Xingtian Hall."

After saying that, she shook her head and turned to leave.

"Ding!"

At that moment, Xiang Yangsheng's identity token trembled slightly.

Mr. Li replied.

And the answer was just one simple word.

"Correct."

The moment Xiang Yang saw the word, he felt a jolt of electricity run through his body and rush straight to the top of his head at an incredible speed, making his entire forehead tingle.

He barely managed to suppress the dizziness and disorientation caused by the news, his voice trembling as he said, "He...he replied...he said 'yes'..."

"right!?"

Nangong Zhaoying immediately came forward.

Zhang Yue and Xun Dao followed closely behind.

Even Xu Chang'an craned his neck and peered over.

Looking at Li Xian's incredibly concise response...

Like Nangong Zhaoyue, Zhang Yue, Xun Daohe, and Xiang Yangsheng, they felt a surge of passion rushing to their heads, causing their faces to flush red and giving them a slightly tipsy feeling, as if they were drunk.

"Great! Great! Great! This is wonderful!"

Nangong Zhaoying said "good" three times in a row.

At the same time, he couldn't wait to take out his token and tell Nangong Feixu the good news.

Xu Chang'an felt a sudden chill run through his body, an indescribable coldness spreading rapidly from the depths of his heart, freezing him in place.

how come! ?

Li Xian, he really defied the odds and entered the Dao, killing the Dao Foundation of the Xingtian Palace!?

"impossible!"

He couldn't help but let out a shrill shout. The Xingtian Palace Dao Foundation cultivator was a veteran even stronger than him!
If Li Xian can kill him, then wouldn't that mean...?

He even killed him!?

At that moment, Zhang Yue suddenly realized something.

"I understand now! I know why Yan Cailian had someone contact you, Senior Brother Xu, asking you to act as a mediator and ask Senior Brother Li to negotiate a peaceful resolution! They're scared! They're scared!"

He said excitedly, "A naturally gifted body, defying the odds to enter the Dao! What kind of existence is this!? I remember there was a rumor in the sect that such a genius who can defy the odds to enter the Dao will be given special training by the sect. As long as they don't die young and maintain this talent after establishing their Dao foundation, let alone becoming a true disciple, they have a great chance of even going further and becoming the sect's Dao Child!"

He suddenly clenched his fist: "This is the future Dao Child! Yan Cailian, Cheng Wanli, Wang Xiangdong, how can they not be afraid?!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yue's analysis, and considering the tone of the person next to Yan Cailian when they spoke to him...

Upon closer reflection, the truth is already becoming clear.

Yan Cailian...

Yan Zhenchuan!
A person who gathers the five vital energies in their heart and condenses the three flowers on their head!

They actually backed down!?
Therefore, they are willing to agree to reconcile with an inner disciple who is at the innate level!

"Yan Cailian? What happened!?"

At this moment, Nangong Zhaoying also realized the key point in Zhang Yue's words and asked a question.

"Uh……"

Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, but still relayed what Xu Chang'an had just said.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Zhaoying turned to Xu Chang'an with a cold expression: "Who gave you permission to act on your own?"

Xu Chang'an's voice was a little hoarse, but he still managed to explain with difficulty: "I...I was also deceived...My original intention...was also for Li Xianhao..."

Nangong Zhaoying ignored her and said directly, "I will tell Senior Sister about this matter truthfully."

As she spoke, she glanced at her identity token.

A reply has already come from the other side.

She then turned to Xiang Yangsheng and said, “From now on, you will all follow Senior Brother Li. Do your best to carry out any orders. If you cannot do it, you can send a message to your senior sister directly. Also, do not let anyone disturb Senior Brother Li during his seclusion. Report to him as soon as he comes out of seclusion.”

"Yes."

Xiang Yangsheng and the others immediately agreed.

They had long wanted to move to the vicinity of Li Xian and be at his beck and call, but since they were indebted to Senior Sister Nangong, they could not go to another place.

Now that they had received Senior Sister Nangong's promise, they had no more psychological burden.

……

Within the inner sect, the news of Li Xian's defeat of the Immortal Light Society, the Shadow Reflection Society, and the Taiyi Pavilion was still spreading, becoming a hot topic of conversation among everyone.

And at a higher level...

The rumors of Li Xian's rebellion to enter the Daoist path did not intensify over time; instead, they gradually subsided.

Compared to talent, the Great Luo Immortal Sect values ​​strength more!
This can be seen from the fact that, just like ordinary Dao Foundations, those of superior, top-tier, and ordinary Dao Foundations do not enjoy much preferential treatment from the sect. At most, they can only enjoy investment from individuals or small groups.

Those who can emerge victorious from the outer and inner sects and forge their foundation in the Dao possess a temperament, perseverance, determination, and even cunning and ruthlessness far beyond what ordinary disciples can match.

Unless they are outer sect elders who have exhausted their potential and barely managed to establish their foundation after a near-death experience, how many would willingly degenerate and remain subordinate to others for long?
Many of the true disciples do not even have a single Dao Foundation Realm expert under their command.

Therefore, Li Xian's brief appearance at most made many people aware that they would have a strong competitor in the future.

However, instead of wasting time worrying unnecessarily, it's better to focus on self-cultivation, strengthening oneself internally to improve combat power, and seeking opportunities through adventure and experience.

Step by step, step by step.

As advantages snowball, even the highest qualifications and talents will become insignificant.

Of course, the other disciples shifted their attention, but Yan Cailian, Cheng Wanli, and Wang Xiangdong, as the parties involved, could hardly remain uninvolved.

Especially after Yan Cailian, as the representative, had already invited Li Xian to her True Disciple Peak for an appointment, but received no response, the True Disciple immediately stopped any further actions that would only damage her prestige.

As tiger cubs grow, they may roar through the mountains and forests.

But the wolf king, who dominated the region, was not so frightened as to panic.

after all……

Growth takes time.

……

one year later.

Li Xian's courtyard.

He was having tea and chatting with someone.

It was An Jing that forged the foundation of unparalleled Dao.

"A dragon lurking in the abyss, a dazzling sun, unparalleled in the world, and radiant throughout the heavens..."

An Jingdao said, "Heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but the Heavenly Dao is like a furnace, and only one in ten thousand can refine true gold. Whether one can truly ascend to immortality and live forever depends on future cultivation!"

He looked at Li Xian and said, "The quality of one's Dao foundation is important, but one's realm and strength are equally important. Life is a long journey, and I hope that many years from now, we will still have old friends to accompany us."

"Not even one in ten thousand will survive."

Li Xian knew what he wanted to say.

Even under the brightest sun, one should not be arrogant.

He understood this principle.

They will not succumb to the empty title of "brilliant genius".

One's own strength is the most important thing.

only……

He really wanted to know if being unparalleled and shining brightly throughout the heavens was the limit of the world's geniuses!

He wanted to try to write a legend that would shine brightly throughout the heavens, using his own name.
