Immortal Realm

Chapter 263 Immortal Realm
Xuanling smiled and explained the events in a calm tone.

However, these words caused all the palace masters present to freeze in surprise.

Then, when they realized the true value of this news, they were all greatly shocked.

"Li Xian, slay the Demon Lord Rahu!?"

"How is this possible!? Uh... I'm not questioning Lord Xuanling, but this news is just too unbelievable, I'm speechless for a moment..."

"In the many rankings related to the Dao Realm in the True Immortal Great World, the Demon Lord Rahu has never fallen out of the top five! Even on the most influential ranking, he is ranked fourth! Looking at our Great Luo Immortal Sect, no one can compare with him. Even Lueying, who has cultivated for more than 760 years, is inferior to him. Li Xian, can you kill him!?"

None of the immortal beings who had survived the tribulation and enjoyed a lifespan of ten thousand years could remain rational and calm.

Those who can serve as temple masters are basically all new-generation primordial spirit immortals.

Human immortals, especially earth immortals, will generally exert all their remaining strength to try to attain true immortality.

Even those who see no hope of attaining enlightenment or merging with the Dao will diligently cultivate secret methods to prepare for the reincarnation of their true spirit and to live a second life, rarely showing off in public.

These Nascent Soul Immortals, whose advancement time was no more than two or three thousand years, were quite knowledgeable about the external situation and the strength of the Dao Realm, and naturally understood what the strength of the Demon Lord Rahu meant.

Even if these Nascent Soul cultivators were to take action, they might not be able to defeat him.

The opponent could easily use the power of the Zixiao Dao Palace's domain to solidify the void and create some obstruction, then use the Ten Thousand Miles Without a Trace Talisman to escape thousands of miles away. Even if they were Nascent Soul Immortals, they could only watch helplessly.

If Li Xianzhen can truly kill the Demon Lord Rahu...

"The news has been confirmed by Sect Master Lu. The Purple Cloud Palace of Demon Lord Luo Hou has also fallen into the hands of Li Daozi, and Li Daozi is on his way back to the sect."

Xuanling showed no anger at the astonishment or even the doubts of the crowd, and responded calmly as before.

For a moment, even though the temple masters found it hard to believe, they had no choice but to accept this reality.

Xuanling would never lie about something like this.

Moreover...

Li Daozi has captured Zixiao Dao Palace!

Is there still any suspense regarding whether Rahu, the Demon Lord, is alive or dead?

Does it still matter?

only……

"That's Rahu, the Demon Lord!"

After a long while, Xia Rixi, the head of the Internal Affairs Hall, sighed, "Of course, I'm not doubting Li Daozi's talent. Given Li Daozi's growth rate, if he cultivates for another hundred or eighty years... settles down for thirty or fifty years... waits for ten or eight years... um? um!?"

As he calculated, this primordial spirit immortal suddenly realized...

Given that Li Xian's strength increases dramatically almost every one or two years, it seems that his killing of the Demon Lord Rahu is not incomprehensible.

After all, just a few months ago, Li Xian was able to face an ambush by Xuan Du, Gu Si, and Fa Yuan, and still manage to kill them with ease.

Having killed these people, I gained many benefits, and my cultivation level broke through again...

It's not that it can't be explained?
"If the news is true..."

At this moment, Gu Xingye, the Hall Master of the Conquest Hall, suddenly said, "Li Xian really killed the Demon Lord Rahu with his own strength... Doesn't that mean he is already a Heavenly Monarch-level warrior?"

"In this era, throughout the entire True Immortal Great World, Heavenly Monarchs are few and far between. In our Great Luo Immortal Sect, only Lue Ying can be considered a Heavenly Monarch. But no matter how you look at it, Luo Hou must be one of the Heavenly Monarchs. If Li Daozi can kill him, then his Heavenly Monarch strength is absolutely beyond doubt..."

Luo Baiyi responded.

He was halfway through his sentence when he keenly realized the true meaning behind Gu Xingye's mention of the word "Heavenly Ruler," and looked up in astonishment: "You mean..."

"Transcending the tribulation with one's physical body."

Xia Yuanxi, who was standing to the side, also understood the implication in Gu Xingye's words and sighed.

This simple word...

This abruptly stopped the conversation among the several Nascent Soul cultivators in the arena.

If one successfully transcends the physical tribulation, one can use the power of pure Yang to refine oneself and achieve the body of a human immortal.

It's like achieving immortality in one step.

Among the several hall masters present, even Gu Xingye, the hall master of the Conquest Hall who is the strongest in terms of combat power and specializes in external conquests, is only at the Nascent Soul Loose Immortal realm and has not yet formed a Human Immortal body.

Moreover, they were well aware of how difficult it would be to create a human-immortal body from scratch.

The financial and material costs required are enormous.

If Li Xian is truly a "Heavenly Lord," he will surpass all of them in one fell swoop once he survives the tribulation of lightning.

"Among the current generation of true disciples of our Great Luo Immortal Sect, there are no particularly outstanding prodigies. However, among the Dao Children, there are many talented individuals. If we include the Shadow Sword Immortal, there are three people in this generation who are expected to undergo physical tribulation... Once they succeed, it will be equivalent to adding three more promising Human Immortals..."

Gu Xingye couldn't help but beam with joy: "This is a great fortune for our Great Luo Immortal Sect!"

Three True Lords and Heavenly Lords who are expected to transcend the tribulation in their physical bodies...

Li Xian, Yi Yuanshi, and Lueying!
Such a magnificent scene is quite rare in the history of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! The three Heavenly Sovereigns coexisting in the world is a blessing from Heaven for our Great Luo Immortal Sect! This is truly wonderful!"

Xia Yuanxi said with a big smile.

Luo Baiyi smiled and nodded: "Among this generation... I originally thought that it would be a blessing for our Great Luo Immortal Sect to have someone like Yi Yuanshi, but I never expected that there would be someone like Li Xian, and Li Xian... is even more extraordinary than Yi Yuanshi. Our Great Luo Immortal Sect should prosper!"

The other hall masters also nodded in agreement.

However, upon thinking of Yi Yuanshi, one of the palace masters immediately realized something.

"Speaking of Yi Daozi... I remember there was a duel between Yi Daozi and Li Daozi? In fact, if you count the time, there are only two years left?"

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but glance at Lei Jun and Lu Qiaoshou, the Palace Master of the Heavenly Crafts Hall beside him.

Among the nine hall masters, these two are Yi Yuanshi's most steadfast supporters.

Moreover, besides them, most of the hall masters in the nine halls had some kind of relationship with Yi Yuanshi and felt that he was the best successor to Lu Linyuan in the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Judging from the current situation, Li Xian's talent and potential...

Clearly stronger than Yi Yuanshi!

Maybe...

The investments made by these people and their families are all going down the drain.

"Li Xian is growing, and Yi Daozi is growing as well. Don't forget, Yi Daozi is currently comprehending the Great Dao at Tianyuan Mountain. It is said that he has made great progress and his cultivation has greatly improved. If they really fight, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose."

Lei Jun said in a deep voice.

Before anyone else could offer a new opinion, Xuanling's voice rang out.

"Li Xian's return to the sect is for the upcoming Immortal Realm War. He should concentrate on preparing for the battle. Do not disturb him with any leisurely matters. Please be aware of this, Palace Masters."

"The war in the Immortal Realm!?"

Luo Baiyi's heart skipped a beat: "We're sending Li Xian to participate in the Immortal Realm War? Didn't our Great Luo Immortal Sect originally not have him among the people we were preparing to participate in the Immortal Realm War?"

"Times have changed."

Xuanling calmly said, "Originally, he was exceptionally talented, but his cultivation time was still relatively short, and his strength was slightly inferior. Participating in the Immortal Realm War would have been too dangerous for him. But now... with the feat of slaying the Demon Lord Rahu, looking at the entire True Immortal Great World, the only one who can pose a fatal threat to him is Zhang Taiyuan..."

"Your Excellency Xuanling...isn't this a bit too radical?"

Xia Yuanxi said, "The Immortal Realm War is of great importance. The reason why some of the most renowned top True Monarchs do not have Heavenly Monarch-level combat power is because they lack Dao artifacts, which are supreme treasures that can stabilize the world. However, the Immortal Realm War is of great importance, and it is hard to guarantee that those sects will not bestow Dao artifacts to further enhance their combat power."

“Indeed, Li Xian’s talent is unprecedented. If we can let him grow up safely, let alone attain the Dao Fruit and become a Pure Yang True Immortal, he may even be able to further comprehend the mysteries of Yin and Yang in the void and open up a cave world. I think it is better to let him cultivate in peace and not put himself in danger.”

Another temple master said in a deep voice.

“We will explain the pros and cons of the Immortal Realm War to him in detail and leave the final choice to him, but based on our understanding of him… he will definitely not miss the Immortal Realm War.”

Xuanling paused as she spoke, "Moreover, in the battle of the Immortal Realm, the most important thing is the Dao artifact carried by each Nascent Soul Immortal. The more profound and extensive one's understanding of the Great Dao, the easier it is to resonate with the Dao artifact and thus find its location. Li Xian... is clearly an outstanding one in this regard."

Lei Jun instantly recalled the scene where Li Xian resonated with many remnant souls of the immortal realm in the Ancient Burial Ground and gained the recognition of two superior Dao artifacts in one go.

Although the scattered immortals who passed away in the Great Luo Immortal Sect were concentrated in the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals, each generation of Dao disciples, and even the scattered immortals of the Primordial Spirit, went deep into it and took out one or two items every now and then. In fact, the Dao artifacts inside were already quite rare.

But within the Immortal Realm...

How many scattered immortals have perished in each great calamity of an era!
The native scattered immortals of the True Immortal Great World are only a part of it; the numerous scattered immortals from other races outside the True Immortal Great World are the most important.

Let Li Xian, who has mastered many Great Daos, go to the Immortal Realm...

It wouldn't be surprising if they eventually brought back eight or ten Dao artifacts for the sect.

“If Li Xianruo goes to the Immortal Realm, it will indeed be easy for him to resonate with Dao artifacts… And Dao artifacts are the key treasures that help us comprehend the Great Dao, and ultimately merge with and prove the Dao! They are even more precious than the supernatural powers and spells used to protect the Dao!”

Luo Baiyi said in a deep voice.

Moreover, even if it is the same Dao, the Dao essence contained in those Dao artifacts is not the same.

If an Earth Immortal possesses a hundred or eighty Dao artifacts of the same type but with different Daoist charms, and carefully studies them, anyone with a slightly sane mind will have no trouble achieving Dao and attaining enlightenment.

The other wandering immortals also understood this.

With more Dao artifacts in the sect, it will be easier for them to apply for Dao artifacts to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao in the future.

Since their own interests were at stake, the scattered immortals said no more.

"After each battle in the Immortal Realm, the major powers will be resentful of the loss of their geniuses and will stir up trouble. Please prepare yourselves in advance to deal with the impending impact."

Xuanling gave a word of instruction.

"I will comply with His Excellency Xuanling's wishes."

The palace masters responded with clasped hands.

……

Within the territory of the Great Luo Immortal Sect lies a land surrounded by mountains.

This mountainous region stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and because it has almost no spiritual veins or minerals, almost no major clans have settled here.

Although there were no major sects or clans of cultivation, the mountains were rich in resources and teeming with life for ordinary people. Coupled with their excellent terrain, rivers, and plains, they had everything they needed, which made this central area surrounded by mountains a powerful kingdom.

This country is not even considered worthy of the attention of any true disciple, nor is it included in the list of the three thousand vassal states of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, yet it has a population of three hundred million.

Among the 300 million people, every now and then, there are masters who have laid the foundation for the Dao, who leave the mountains and go to the wider world outside, bringing with them cultivation techniques, stories of their experiences in the upper countries, and legends of immortal sects, which take root and sprout in this land.

However, at this moment, beneath a precipitous mountain peak, hundreds of figures—who should all be capable of escaping this mountain range—were engaged in a full-scale attack, surrounding and killing a mere dozen or so figures clad in black. These dozen or so were fighting a bloody battle, their numbers dwindling rapidly, and it seemed that they would soon be completely wiped out…

At a certain moment, a terrifying aura suddenly shot up from the mountain peak, accompanied by a chilling and gloomy atmosphere that spread rapidly, instantly covering an area of ​​dozens of miles.

The sudden change caused the elder leading the men in black to burst into a hearty laugh: "Hahaha... The sacrifice is finally complete! Your blood, and the blood of my Holy Church's Dharma King, have finally completed the final sacrifice. Today, the founder of my Heavenly Holy Church will break through the formation and emerge into the world!"

Sensing the murderous aura emanating from the mountain peak that soared straight into the sky, the expressions of the hundreds of cultivators from various factions changed drastically.

Some even revealed an overwhelming sense of despair in their eyes.

"In the end... they couldn't stop the Heavenly Demon Ancestor from being born?"

"The reinforcements from the Immortal City have not arrived... All that awaits us is death."

"It's over! It's all over now! That's the patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Sect! A hundred years ago, in order to break through his cultivation realm, he slaughtered the entire cultivation world, leaving nine out of ten of our Great Yu Dynasty's cultivation families wiped out. If it weren't for the selfless sacrifice of our six family patriarchs, who used their lives to set up an array to seal him away, the Great Yu Dynasty would not exist anymore. Now that he has broken through his cultivation realm and condensed the power of the Earthly Fiends, there is no one in the Great Yu world who can subdue him!"

These people seemed to have already imagined the bloody and turbulent scenes of the Great Yu Dynasty.

However, while some were fearful, others laughed heartily.

"A hundred years ago, the Sixth Patriarch sacrificed his life to seal the Heavenly Demon! We five are revered as the Martial Saints of our time, enjoying the incense offerings of the Great Yu for a hundred years. Today, it is time for us to give back to the hundreds of millions of people of the Great Yu!"

"Hahaha, so what if the Heavenly Demon Ancestor has been reborn? He sacrifices his own interests for the greater good! I, Huang Chang, am not afraid!"

"The sword in my hand was left behind by the Sword Immortal Dugu Jueqing three hundred years ago! Today, let me use the head of this Heavenly Demon Cult Master to test whether the immortal sword in my hand is still sharp!"

Each one of them was a towering figure in the cultivation world of the Great Yu Dynasty, a legendary figure who strode forward, his eyes filled with determination and a death wish, looking straight at that mountain peak.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous! You Five Sages of Great Yu have no idea just how powerful our patriarch is..."

The old man in black robes laughed maniacally, watching the demonic aura in the void grow larger and larger, stretching for more than ten miles, and threatening to blot out the sky. His fanaticism reached its peak.

"Rise forth! Great Holy Ancestor, with your inviolable, unstoppable, and inextinguishable wrath, burn the entire Great Yu world to ashes! The whole world can only have one ruler, and that is our Heavenly Saint Sect..."

He danced wildly, laughing loudly at the menacing aura filling the sky.

Amidst his maniacal laughter, a majestic figure slowly materialized.

As the figure coalesced, it gradually manifested a Dharma body form that was over ten meters tall.

More than ten meters!
What a colossal thing this is.

The hundreds of cultivators who had surrounded and killed the Heavenly Demon Sect seemed like a group of small animals that could be crushed at any moment in front of him, so insignificant as to be not worth a second glance.

In particular, his aura merged with the overwhelming malevolent energy, almost obscuring the sun in the sky. The terrifying pressure rolled in, causing the five saints of the Great Yu Dynasty, who had just been full of vigor and high spirits, to breathe rapidly.

"It's you ants who interfered with my cultivation and tried to oppose me!?"

This enormous figure slowly rose into the air, wielding demonic energy. The chilling aura that penetrated to the bone sent shivers down everyone's spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"How could it be...this kind of monster..."

"How...how are we supposed to fight this?!"

"A demon god several meters tall... This is a monster that neither swords nor courage can defeat!"

Under the oppressive aura emanating from this terrifying creature, some cultivators could not help but tremble all over, and even lost their grip on the swords and magical artifacts in their hands.

"You have no idea what kind of great being you are fighting against..."

This terrifying figure, several meters tall, rode a demonic aura that stretched for miles, hovering hundreds of meters in the void, blotting out the sky and the sun...

"Listen to my name, I am..."

Before he could finish speaking, the void in front of him suddenly rippled like mercury.

The ripples distorted the void, instantly encompassing the sky full of demonic energy and the towering figure at the center of the demonic aura.

next second...

"Crack!"

The space, like a shattered mirror, was broken apart.

This newly born Heavenly Demon Ancestor, who was about to bring slaughter, death, and the end of the entire Great Yu Dynasty, didn't even have time to announce his name before being swept up by this spatial distortion and shattering power and crushed into dust without any suspense.

"!!?"

This sudden change stunned the man in black robes and the troops of the Great Yu.

Whether it was the Heavenly Demon Sect elder who had painstakingly sacrificed himself to break the sealing formation, or the five renowned Martial Saints of the Great Yu Dynasty, they all stared wide-eyed at the void power that had pulverized the Heavenly Demon Sect ancestor.

I have absolutely no idea what happened.

"call out!"

A figure followed closely behind, emerging from the shattered void and hovering in the sky.

It was Li Xian, who had just returned from the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

"Hmm? It looks like something's been crushed?"

He said something that sounded a bit strange.

Ultimately, it was relying on the power of Lu Linyuan, a Pure Yang True Immortal, to traverse the void, and some of the dissipated power was not well controlled.

After briefly examining the surging demonic energy, he quickly realized something: "Remnants of the demonic path? Then it's alright."

"No! No! No!"

At this moment, the elder shrouded in black robes couldn't help but let out a grief-stricken, frantic, even devastating roar, as if his faith had collapsed and his spirit had broken down: "This isn't real! This absolutely isn't real! How could our invincible Patriarch, who dominated the world... possibly die?! He was destined to be invincible! He was destined to lead our Heavenly Saint Sect to rule the world! How could he possibly die..."

Distracted by the sound, Li Xian glanced down, flicked his finger, and several sword energies pierced through the void.

"call out!"

The black-robed man, who had just been filled with grief and shouting, had his head pierced by the sword energy.

Roar...

Stopped abruptly.

Furthermore, after the sword energy killed the black-robed elder, its remaining force continued to pierce through the remaining black-robed figures, whose bodies were filled with the heavy aura of killing and bloodlust.

The whole process was incredibly fast.

After doing all that, Li Xian's gaze fell on the group of leaders on the other side: "Where is this territory?"

He used Lu Linyuan's power to perform the Void Sword Escape, but he couldn't control the direction and distance, and he didn't even know where he flew to.

At this moment, the five sages of the Great Yu Dynasty were still somewhat dazed.

The Heavenly Demon Cult Master broke through the formation and emerged into the world. They were all mentally prepared to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the world.

As a result, such a powerful Heavenly Demon Cult Master...

Before they could even utter their names, they were completely taken in by this suddenly appearing figure in a way they couldn't comprehend at all...

But it must have been some kind of aftershock from the aerial traversal that caused it to be crushed.

It's as easy as crushing an ant on the roadside.

This disparity...

They were stunned for a long time.

Fortunately, there were some people with strong mental fortitude.

After Li Xian's questioning lasted for almost a breath, one of the elders suddenly awoke and said, "Reporting to the immortal, this is the territory of Yuling Mountain in Qingzhou of the Great Yu Dynasty."

"The Great Yu Dynasty?"

Li Xian frowned slightly.

Among the three thousand vassal states of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, is there one called the Great Yu Dynasty?
Another middle-aged man, however, quickly realized what was happening and said, "Immortal, the Great Yu Dynasty is located in the Qingjiao Mountain Range area. It is said that there is an immortal city west of the Qingjiao Mountain Range called Qingxiao City, where there are countless powerful figures and experts, including some who are comparable to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor!"

Then he added, "Of course, that's the level before the Heavenly Demon Cult Ancestor broke through..."

"Qingjiao Mountain Range".

Li Xian used his divine sense to scan the map of the Great Luo Immortal Sect that had been downloaded into his identity token and quickly located the place.

This is indeed the territory of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

That Azure Sky Immortal City is indeed a real place, jointly managed and built by the six major families.

These six families all have ancestors who cultivated the Taiyin True Essence, or even the Taiyang True Fire level.

just now……

The strongest should be at the level of "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top".

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Thank you, Immortal, for eliminating the demon and protecting the righteous path, saving our lives. I am Zuo Yunfei, and I am willing to follow you and serve you from now on."

After saying this, he disregarded his status as a Martial Saint and knelt down to beg.

This scene left the other four people stunned.

They were, after all, martial saints of the Great Yu Dynasty, how could they...

Li Xian glanced at him, then looked at the introduction to the Qingjiao Mountain Range.

Three thousand years ago, a great battle between true immortals erupted here, draining away vital energy and shattering the earth's veins, making it a place where immortal traces are rarely seen.

These five people before me have managed to cultivate to the third realm, Five Qi Gathering, under such circumstances...

His aptitude, comprehension, talent, and perseverance are all quite good.

If one were born in a place with abundant vital energy and resources, one could at least cultivate the Yin True Essence and ignite the Yang True Fire, and there might even be a sliver of hope to cultivate the Immortal Golden Elixir and live for a thousand years.

However, right now, the five of them are only refining the most ordinary innate five elements, and their breakthrough in realm is very crude. It is very questionable whether they can achieve perfect essence, energy and spirit, and whether the Three Flowers Gather at the Top can nurture spiritual consciousness.

At that moment, Li shook his head: "I have no intention of taking on followers."

After pondering for a moment, he added, "However, in consideration of your guidance, I will grant you a sword intent. If you can comprehend it, you will at least be able to open up the Upper Yuan Cave Heaven and cultivate spiritual consciousness in the future!"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and a sword intent directly poured into Zuo Yunfei's spiritual world.

The sharpness of the sword intent penetrated deeply, stimulating his spirit and causing him to turn pale with pain.

Li Xian ignored this and leaped into the sky, quickly cutting through the clouds and disappearing at the horizon.
