He became the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws starting from Liaozhai.

I'm starving because I haven't eaten today! Read my masterpiece, "Becoming the True Lord of All Laws Starting from Liaozhai," now!

Perhaps even the owner of Wanbaoge himself did not expect that his original intention was to optimize the Wanbaoge's transportation routes so that his own people could better escort his goods. As a result, this change created the strongest escort agency in the entire Southern Region.

It can be said that he had a stroke of great luck, which is related to the fact that the owner of Wanbaoge Pavilion has a personality that strives for perfection in everything he does.

The caravan set off again. Before departing, Xu Yi scouted the area once more and found that there was no danger ahead, unless someone was still lying in ambush within the so-called formation.

However, Xu Yi did not believe that there could be such a stupid person in the world. He could have made a move when he was fighting the Yin-Yang Corpse, but he insisted on waiting until he had resolved all the dangers before coming out. What kind of person was that?

Xu Yi wasn't skeptical that someone like this could rob a caravan, but he just thought the person was rather foolish.

However, things didn't go as Xu Yi had imagined in the days that followed. No one tried to rob the caravan anymore. It was possible that Xu Yi's battle with the Yin-Yang Corpse had been too tumultuous, or that Yin Shi's magic scroll was too frightening, leading people to mistakenly believe that a Golden Core cultivator had made a move.

In short, due to various factors, Xu Yi was indeed not robbed again.

This put him at ease. The battle with Yin Shi had truly left him somewhat shaken. The so-called magic scroll's effects were a bit too abnormal. If it weren't for the protection of the "Endless Talk" talisman, Xu Yi would probably still be in a fierce battle right now.

There are too many mysteries in this world, and Xu Yi can't figure them out. But these things are beyond his level of cultivation to understand.

Instead of indulging in some wild thoughts, it's better to calm down and cultivate slowly, first improving your own cultivation level. Xu Yi didn't know anything about persuading people with reason; he only knew that as long as your cultivation level improved, many people would naturally come to flatter you.

This is an eternal truth.

In later generations, Xu Yi also felt that this was the case. Almost everyone he met, as long as they saw his mysterious cultivation and endless supernatural abilities, would take the initiative to reason with him instead of saying things like "if you win, then this or that".

But can we go back to this world? Xu Yi couldn't help but feel helpless. He was so focused on entering this world to find the so-called truth that he forgot to ask the Myriad Demon Records if there was any way out after entering. If so, how should he do it?

Is he only allowed to leave after he dies? Xu Yi wasn't sure, but he guessed it was probably similar; the Myriad Demon Records were definitely watching him from somewhere, quietly observing him, but without revealing itself to offer any explanation.

It's also possible that the Myriad Demons Record exhausted its energy after using this rewind technique? Or is there some connection between this system and the Myriad Demons Record? Xu Yi needs to investigate these things one by one, but he currently has no direction to explore.

First, slowly improve your cultivation level; perhaps you can find the answer in the so-called Heavenly Court?

However, Xu Yi lived a very peaceful life in this world. He had not offended anyone or any power, so he was not chased or attacked by anyone.

The only disciple of a major sect that Xu Yi has killed so far is Yin Shi, whose master is a Golden Core cultivator. Yin Shi's trump card is the so-called magic scroll, but the magic scroll did not cause Xu Yi's death.

So, does a Golden Core cultivator have no other means to protect their disciple?

Xu Yi remembered that some cultivation novels described how, if you killed a disciple of a powerful cultivator, a mysterious causal link would automatically lock onto your identity, and then these powerful cultivators would hunt you down based on the location of that marker.

However, this is what Xu Yi saw in the storybooks. This is, after all, a real world of cultivation. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to see the so-called supernatural powers and spells in these storybooks at all, since they are all made up by people.

Xu Yi still believed what he saw with his own eyes. He had never seen these things before, so he didn't really believe them.

Soon, Xu Yi opened the system panel again.

Lifespan: 20/180

[Cultivation Level: Early Foundation Establishment Stage]

[Spells: Divine Illumination and Cloud-Gazing Technique (+), Pure Profound Control and Netherworld Control Chapter (+), Paper Folding Technique (+), Illusion Technique (+), Rainbow Transformation Technique (+), Seven Stars (+), Devouring Heaven Divine Art (+)]

The magic weapon's growth progress has reached its limit; it seems it can now undergo its so-called evolution?

Xu Yi saw a plus sign at the end of the Magic Treasures section, indicating that it could be upgraded. He clicked on it in his mind.

Soon, Xu Yi's iron sword flew out from his sea of ​​consciousness, transforming from a tiny iron sword the size of a needle into a seven-foot-long sword.

It quietly hovered over Xu Yi's legs.

Soon, to Xu Yi's astonishment, the iron sword emitted a faint red light, which was the blood energy absorbed by the iron sword after each kill.

Xu Yi guessed it at a glance. Ever since he first killed the Seeker of the Dao with the iron sword, Xu Yi had known that the iron sword was a sword that could absorb blood energy. He and the system shared these lifespans and blood energy.

Lifespan is an elusive concept, but this blood essence was indeed absorbed in a very real way.

It has evolved.

After the blood and qi produced a thin film that formed a red film on the sword.

The sword seemed to breathe, and Xu Yi could almost hear a heartbeat.

However, Xu Yi only heard the heartbeat once.

It flashed by in an instant, and Xu Yi could no longer hear it.

It was extremely strange; ever since this sword became bound to him, it had exuded an eerie aura.

However, he was very useful, a fact that Xu Yi could not deny.

In order to gain the upper hand in the battle, Xu Yi had no choice but to sign a contract with the sword. Or rather, even if Xu Yi didn't know how to use the sword, it would eventually establish some kind of connection with him. Since it was bound to the system, there was no reason why it wouldn't come looking for Xu Yi.

However, Xu Yi never tried to throw away the sword. If he really discarded it, would the sword still come looking for him?

Xu Yi didn't know this. He probably would, or perhaps he wouldn't. Xu Yi hadn't yet discovered whether the iron sword had any self-awareness. Most likely it did, but it was just dormant.

However, this was an item deeply bound to the system, and Xu Yi still didn't want to throw it away. To be honest, Xu Yi was still wary of the system at every turn.

If given the chance, Xu Yi still wanted to dissect the system thoroughly to see what kind of thing it really was.

However, Xu Yi needs the power of the system now, which is essential. Currently, he can rely on the system to do many things and grow rapidly. Moreover, he and the system are now mutually benefiting. Xu Yi doesn't know how much lifespan the so-called Yin Shi has left, but the system says it has 150 years left, so Xu Yi accepts it as 150 years.

In reality, he didn't know, and Xu Yi had no way of verifying, whether the system had secretly hidden some of its lifespan for its own purposes. These were things Xu Yi couldn't see, and things he simply couldn't investigate at the moment.

The rust on the iron sword had disappeared, and finally, the so-called iron sword had completed its upgrade.

[Magic Item: Iron Sword (Attribute: Bleeding)]

[Growth Progress: 10/200]

From its original rusty appearance, the iron sword had been transformed into a new iron sword. Xu Yi noticed that the blade seemed to have become sharper and brighter. Was this what was meant by advancement? It had restored the iron sword to a higher level of power.

Furthermore, an additional attribute section has been added after the Iron Sword: Bleeding.

Xu Yi was very curious. Was this a kind of alternative enchantment?

With a sense of exploration, he clicked on the entry for "bleeding," and soon, a message entered Xu Yi's mind.

Bleeding: After hitting an enemy, the wound cannot be healed by simple healing and will continue to bleed...

After reading this information, Xu Yi narrowed his eyes. This is the effect of bleeding? Very good. If another spell were added to the sword, it would definitely cause greater damage to the person being attacked.

This is Xu Yi's idea.

The evolution of the iron sword was just one of the gains. Soon, Xu Yi prepared for the second activity: to improve his cultivation level or spells.

Cultivation or magic, Xu Yi didn't know which one to focus on first. His strength at the early stage of Foundation Establishment was still too weak. He might as well focus on improving his cultivation first.

After making up his mind, Xu Yi gently tapped the plus sign behind the Divine Illumination Cloud Skill.

After choosing a lifespan of fifty years, Xu Yi fell into deep thought.

[Year 1...]

[Year 2...]

In just a few breaths, his fifty-year lifespan had been fully calculated. During these fifty years, Xu Yi had cultivated more than half of the foundation-building part of the Divine Illumination Clouds Technique, and his cultivation level had reached the mid-stage of Foundation Building. He was only one step away from perfection.

As for the remaining lifespan calculations, Xu Yi didn't plan to further calculate his cultivation level. He was definitely going to return to Lion City. If his cultivation level had improved so much just from completing one escort mission—directly advancing from the so-called early Foundation Establishment stage to the peak Foundation Establishment stage—how long had it been?

If Liu Cheng were to see this cultivation speed, he would be utterly horrified. Liu Cheng was a man who had seen many things, and he had seen people with fast cultivation speeds and those who could fight multiple opponents at the same level.

However, Xu Yi, who was not even at the Foundation Establishment stage, was able to engage in many rounds of combat with him and almost made him suffer a defeat. Moreover, if Xu Yi were to return with his Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation, anyone would be suspicious.

In just two months, he jumped from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak stage? If there were no problems, who would believe it?

Soon, Xu Yi used twenty years of his lifespan to deduce the so-called Qingxuan Yuyou Chapter. Sure enough, he deduced the fourth talisman, the Soul Suppressor, and Xu Yi already knew the name of the fifth talisman, the Soul Destroyer.

With the power of his divine sense, Xu Yi could create a talisman out of thin air to suppress the soul of a cultivator.

Any cultivator who is targeted will have their sea of ​​consciousness suppressed by this talisman, at which point they will be unable to use the so-called power of the soul.

This move has a terrifying crushing effect on Foundation Establishment cultivators, especially those with lower cultivation levels. For Xu Yi, this move is practically a divine weapon for group attacks.

However, the fifth talisman, Soul Destroyer, was a deadly spell that Xu Yi could sense from its name alone. It was definitely a vicious spell targeting the soul.

Xu Yi decided to invest another twenty years to see if he could deduce this talisman.

Soon, Xu Yi performed another deduction, and as expected, he had also learned the so-called Soul Extinction technique.

Soon after Xu Yi finished learning the Soul Destroyer technique, he intercepted a message. Xu Yi already knew how to use the Soul Destroyer. It was also a talisman, but it dealt a devastating blow to the cultivator's soul.

Soul-binding, soul-suppressing, and soul-destroying—these three moves from the Qingxuan Yuyou Chapter—once unleashed, Xu Yi didn't believe anyone of the same realm could withstand his combo.

At the same time, Xu Yi also saw the name of the sixth talisman, Divine Travel. Judging from the name, it no longer seemed like a spell that could attack the soul.

Xu Yi wasn't in a hurry to learn this move. He still had several decades of lifespan left, and he planned to use them on other spells to enhance his strength.

Xu Yi had only ever used the first chapter of the Rainbow Transformation Technique. However, the speed of the first chapter was already enough for him to move freely in the early stages of Foundation Establishment. Xu Yi dared not imagine how fast he would be if he could cultivate the second chapter to perfection.

However, during his battle with Yin Shi, Xu Yi also noticed that he was somewhat fatigued by the magic scroll's pursuit. His Rainbow Transformation Technique couldn't outrun the scroll, so it seemed he still needed to practice it some more.

Xu Yi poured all of his remaining fifty years of lifespan prediction into the project.

The Rainbow Transformation Technique is of a very high grade. Xu Yi felt that it would be impossible to master it without spending a lot of time cultivating it.

This system relies on his talent for cultivation. Xu Yi doesn't think his talent is that high. Now it seems that it will take a full fifty years to cultivate such a high-level technique. Just how difficult is it to cultivate?

After deducing his lifespan by fifty years, Xu Yi had already mastered the second chapter of the Rainbow Transformation Technique to perfection.

In his view, at any time, teleportation is a higher priority spell.

You may not be able to defeat your opponent, and you may not be able to win a magical duel, but you must not be able to outrun him. Escape techniques are the only way out.

If you can't even outrun your opponent, then losing a magical duel could result in a death sentence.
