Invincible!

Chapter 136 Always

Chapter 136 Always
If you make a mistake, you should be punished.

Li Xian abandoned his beloved, betrayed his teachers, and acted heartlessly and ruthlessly back then.

So, he died.

He was utterly disgraced and drowned in the river outside Youlongfang.

All of this was orchestrated by Yan Shui Rou, the mastermind behind it all.

Li Xian became Li Xianhou, and he didn't fixate on Yan Shuirou.

But Yan Shui Rou repeatedly plotted against and schemed against him.

until now.

She deserved to be punished for her mistake.

Just like Li Xian, who was kicked and seriously injured and drowned in the river outside Youlongfang.

He was also severely injured by Li Xian, losing all the meridians in his body, and was thrown into the lotus pond.

Cause and effect are cyclical, with a beginning and an end.

……

"Help me, Xiaoyu, help me..."

"Pfft!"

Yan Shui Rou's terrified cries for help rang out simultaneously with the sound of waves crashing as she fell into the water.

Jiang Xiaoyu wanted to move.

but……

With a single glance from Li Xian, she had no choice but to stop.

Watching Yan Shuirou fall into the lotus pond, unable to exert any strength due to the severance of her meridians, and gradually sink, a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes.

She had tried to persuade her many times, but she...

Ultimately, they reached a dead end.

That's how they ended up.

Yan Shuirou struggled desperately in the pond.

Despite the presence of so many people around her, many of whom were even guests she had specially invited to the Foundation Establishment Ceremony, not a single person dared to stand up or say a single word in her defense.

The fickleness of human relationships is best exemplified here.

This scene seemed to have truly driven Yan Shui Rou to despair.

She thought of the high spirits she felt when she was chosen as a fairy seedling.

He thought of his own masterful strategizing and manipulation.

He thought of the high-level treatment of entering the inner sect of the Immortal Sect directly.

He envisioned a bright future where he could lay the foundation for immortality...

Right now, because of her own cleverness, she's being used as a pawn against Li Xian, someone with whom she initially had no direct grudge...

It's all gone.

The prime of life and a bright future have all lost their meaning.

Because she was about to die.

"Senior Brother Li...I was wrong...please forgive me..."

She turned to Li Xian with difficulty, her eyes seemingly devoid of the resentment that had accumulated over the years, only filled with an infinite desire to live.

pity……

Li Xian did not give any response.

I just watched her, watched as the rest of her plea for mercy was swallowed up by the pool water.

Watching her gradually sink into the pool.

Watching her struggle at the bottom of the pool...

Stir up the blood and muddy water.

Even though her cultivation was destroyed and her meridians were all severed, her body was still tempered by the power of heaven and earth, which allowed her suffocating struggle to last for a full ten minutes.

until……

Completely silent.

She ultimately failed to rise from the dead like "Li Xian" and become Li Xian, crawling out of the water.

……

"Li Xian".

Li Xian muttered this word to himself.

This was a name he had long forgotten, but when he spoke it again at this moment, for some reason, he had a completely new understanding of it.

The emotions evoked by this realization gradually gathered in my heart, and slowly...

It seems to be projected into some kind of unseen perception, and using this perception, one "sees" a door.

"Heavenly Gate".

Without needing any words, Li Xian immediately realized the true name of this "pass".

He sensed the Heavenly Gate.

However, this Heavenly Gate does not seem to be a Heavenly Gate in the conventional sense.

It seems to contain a sense of boundless and limitless beauty.

This discovery surprised him somewhat.

"It's actually... the Myriad Manifestations Limitless Technique?"

The Myriad Forms Limitless Skill is at most a martial arts technique that allows one to cultivate to the point of perfect balance, yet it is said to be able to give birth to the Heavenly Gate.
wrong.

Since cultivating the Chaos Heavenly Demon, he has been working hard for more than half a year and has completed the overall planning of several Qi Refining Techniques.

The original intention behind these integrated techniques was to embrace all things and represent the boundless universe.

Therefore, his Heavenly Gate carries a hint of the boundless and limitless charm.

"With the appearance of the Heavenly Gate, my cultivation technique, which is derived from several Qi Refining Techniques, has finally been fully integrated."

Li Xian pondered for a moment.

The newly formed technique is not suitable to be called something like the Myriad Forms Limitless Technique, the Chaos Qi Refining Technique, the Devouring Qi Refining Technique, or the Limitless Qi Refining Technique.

Choose a new name...

"Let's call it Hunyuan Wuji Gong."

A new year begins, and everything is renewed.

Chaos and the boundless void give rise to the Dao, a natural order.

Composing himself, Li Xian slightly raised his head.

However, many of the surrounding guests had already left.

After a moment's thought, half an hour had already passed.
He glanced at the lotus pond, then at Jiang Xiaoyu: "If you want revenge, I'll wait. I just hope you won't end up like her, being used without realizing it and losing your life for nothing."

"I cultivate myself not for hatred, not for profit, and not for others..."

Jiang Xiaoyu paused as she spoke, then said, "It's for myself."

"That's all I have to say."

After Li Xian finished speaking, he turned around and said to Xiang Yangsheng, "Let's go."

Xiang Yangsheng nodded.

As Jiang Xiaoyu watched him leave, she opened her mouth as if to ask something.

But after a moment, she stopped.

After Li left, the few remaining guests also took their leave.

Some people even caught up with Li Xian, wanting to say hello and become acquainted with him.

Jiang Xiaoyu didn't say anything about it; she simply went to the lotus pond and pulled out Yan Shuirou's body.

only……

Looking at Yan Shui Rou's corpse, she couldn't help but think of Li Xian's words again.

as well as……

His transformation after falling into the river was like that of a completely different person.

"Are you... still you?"

This is the question she was about to ask.

But after a moment... she shook her head.

There is no point anymore.

If so, the two are now like strangers.

Given his rapid growth, she is far beyond his reach; this might very well be their last encounter in life.

if not……

He has paid the price for his actions.

And Yan Shui Rou, who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes, also died by drowning...

She glanced at Yan Shuirou, then at the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was countless miles away, and finally sighed sadly.

"rest in peace."

……

On the Rainbow Bridge.

Xiang Yangsheng seemed still immersed in the battle in which Li Xian swiftly and decisively killed Yan Shuirou, a powerful cultivator who had forged a superior Dao foundation.

Although he had learned from Li Xian that he possessed the strength to reverse one's path to enlightenment, but...

Hearing is believing.

No matter how much you hear, it's nothing compared to witnessing firsthand the shock of a Dao-establishing, spirited, and powerful cultivator being slain by a Xiantian cultivator at his most glorious moment.

Oh, Li Xian didn't even use a sword.

He was able to defy the odds and enter the Dao back then, and after this period of reflection...

He's clearly stronger now!

"Buzz!"

Just as he was feeling shocked, the identity token on his body vibrated slightly.

He picked it up and glanced at it...

"Senior Brother Li."

Xiang Yangsheng turned to Li Xian: "Senior Sister Nangong sent a message asking if you have time now. She wants to see you?"

Nangong flying catkins?

A year and a half ago, when the news of his defying the Dao to enter the Dao was confirmed, Nangong Feixu wanted to meet him and have a good chat. However, at that time, he devoted all his time and energy to comprehending cultivation techniques and secret arts, and was unwilling to go out. As for Nangong Feixu...

A new power was rising in her vassal state and wanted to replace her, so she had to go there to deal with it, which delayed their meeting.

just now……

Now that he's already out, it's not appropriate for him to make another excuse about needing to go into seclusion to study secret techniques.

"Then let's meet."

He responded.

The two changed direction and headed towards Snow Moon Peak, where Nangong Feixu lived.

Upon arriving at Snow Moon Peak, the two did not head to the waterside pavilion next to the "Heavenly Pool," but instead went to a pavilion not far away.

However, as Li Xian walked on Snow Moon Peak, he noticed something.

The mountain peak was a bit deserted.

At the entrance to the attic, Nangong Zhaoying was already waiting.

Upon seeing Li Xian, she was quite polite: "Senior Brother Li, your senior sister is already waiting for you. Please follow me."

The two went upstairs, where Nangong Feixu, dressed in a white gauze dress, stood by the railing.

A gentle breeze caressed her hair, creating a sense of understated elegance and grace.

Seeing Li Xian enter, Nangong Feixu smiled slightly: "You've arrived."

Her gaze swept over Li Xian for a moment: "To enter the Dao through rebellion? That's truly astonishing. In the era before me, in my generation, and in the next, no genius like you has ever emerged."

Then, she asked curiously, "Did you trigger the sect's special training mechanism?"

"Ah."

Li responded.

“That’s remarkable. Anyone who can trigger this special cultivation mechanism can basically be considered a future Golden Core seed. Your future achievements will definitely surpass mine.”

Nangong Feixu said.

"you flatter me."

"I'm telling the truth."

Nangong Feixu smiled and said, "Then, while I can still help you a little..."

She went to the desk, picked up a small booklet, and handed it over: "I believe that the foundation-building stage will not stop you. In fact, after you have built your foundation, you will have a good idea of which spells and supernatural powers to cultivate. However, this booklet should be of some help to you."

"what is this?"

Li took it first.

"Over the past ten thousand years, I have compiled detailed information on the growth of all the hidden dragons, rising stars, and even peerless geniuses that I could find. I have summarized their choices among spells and the five innate energies based on their own foundations, and gathered their cultivation paths and growth experiences. I hope this can provide a reference for your future cultivation path planning."

Nangong Feixu said.

Upon hearing this, Li Xian immediately realized the significance of the booklet.

This is a spiritual practice plan that can be used as a reference.

It does not involve any cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, or secret arts.

However, by collecting a large amount of information from predecessors, he compiled the growth paths of all the hidden dragons, the proud suns, and peerless geniuses over the past ten thousand years for his reference.

The collection of this information is bound to be extremely tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive.

Even though Nangong Feixu is a true disciple with far greater authority than the outer sect elders, it would probably take her a year and a half to compile such a classic text.

"Have a heart."

Li Xian said something.

"It's nothing much. Strictly speaking, it's just a list of books. How you choose and how you study is up to you."

Nangong Feixu said, "You're growing very fast, and you should be aiming to forge an unparalleled Dao foundation? There's not much I can help you with that, but breaking through to the next realm with an unparalleled Dao foundation is extremely difficult. If you need the Heavenly Gate Enlightenment Pill, you can tell me..."

"That's good."

Li Xianyang waved the booklet.

He then asked, "Have you finished dealing with things in the vassal states?"

"Things over there... are over..."

Nangong Feixu shook her head: "But that's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

"Is that new force backed by someone?"

Li asked first.

Then he realized he had asked a stupid question.

If it weren't for someone's support, how could a vassal state of a true disciple have fallen into chaos?

"Which true disciple? Yan Cailian?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Nangong Feixu, worried that Li Xian might misunderstand, offered an explanation.
