Chapter 264 Returning to the Sect
"Void".
Li Xian rode the escape light, his figure weaving through the clouds, the wind caressing his face, neither hurried nor slow.
He even reached out and kept stroking the wind that brushed past his fingertips, as if to feel the flow of air, or as if to touch the boundless void that forms the entire world.
"What is emptiness? Emptiness is a field."
Li Xiandao.
One, a field that encompasses all matter, energy, spirit, and even the fundamental rules of the universe.
Everything is within the evolution of this field.
This is the foundation upon which all power exists.
Therefore, emptiness is everywhere.
When the power of the void is extracted, the power of the field collapses, which will cause the matter, energy, and spirit that were originally contained within it to disintegrate and shatter.
This is the Void Storm.
The void, too, is everywhere.
Therefore, by utilizing this power and taking advantage of the fluidity of the "field," he was able to instantly travel from one location to another.
This is void travel.
Li Xian's thoughts wandered.
The mystery of the void became increasingly clear in his eyes.
Through this realization, his thoughts continued to spread and rise, faintly touching upon the entire realm of the True Immortal World.
The core of the existence of the True Immortal Great World lies in the existence of this void "field".
Without this arena, there would naturally be no Great World of True Immortals.
To destroy the True Immortal Great World, this void force field must first be destroyed.
"If we compare the True Immortal Great World to a planet, then this void force field that carries the entire world is equivalent to the planet's own gravitational field..."
The ability of broken planets to reassemble is primarily driven by gravity.
Of course, this also involves atomic recombination dominated by electromagnetic force, smelting that uses element decay for continuous heating, and so on.
To put it another way, it's about the changes and integration between the principles of creation, yin and yang, and the five elements.
However, it is undeniable that gravity, or the void force field, is the main foundation that enables the True Immortal Great World to maintain its form.
And Li Xian right now...
It has already touched the force field of the True Immortal Great World.
"The domain of an Earth Immortal is established by touching the force field of a True Immortal's Great World, which is equivalent to projecting that power down... In theory, I can do the same now, but... I haven't yet formed the body of a Human Immortal, so I simply can't withstand the projection of such power. If I were to draw down the power of the domain, there would only be one outcome: I would be crushed by the domain myself..."
Li Xian understood immediately.
Of course, there is another way to achieve this, which is to merge with the Dao.
Completely integrate into the power field of the True Immortal Great World and become a part of it.
At that time, before he is "transformed" by the void force field of the True Immortal Great World, he can live a life of immortality for a while.
However, without going through the stages of a scattered immortal's primordial spirit, a human immortal's body, and an earth immortal's realm, his immortal days will inevitably be extremely short.
Let alone sustaining itself on the path of "Taoist transformation" for 129,600 years, it would be good if it could even last 12 years.
"Although I can't achieve Dao Integration, I can still benefit from the amplification provided by the Flowing Void Sword, a superior Dao artifact..."
Having realized this, Li Xian stopped moving.
With a flick of his wrist, the Flowing Void Sword appeared in his hand.
Relying on his new understanding of void force fields.
And with the amplification from the superior Dao artifact, the Flowing Void Sword...
He suddenly thrust out his sword, and the shockwave of the Great Void Technique against the power of the void exploded through the tip of the sword.
With the burst of this sword strike, the void force field in front of him, as if struck by a hammer, suddenly cracked, with countless cracks spreading wildly.
Li Xian sensed the crack for a moment, then suddenly drew his sword again.
With this sword strike...
The void before them seemed to have been directly pierced through, revealing fundamental destruction.
After reaching a critical value, the dissipating cracks suddenly shattered, and with a swing of his sword, the power of the void seemed to be completely stripped away.
Without the power of the void to sustain it, matter, energy, and spirit all collapsed.
It's like simply destroying the load-bearing wall of a tall building.
Even a small amount of damage can trigger a chain reaction that ultimately creates a massive and devastating wave of destruction.
This is……
"Void Storm!?"
The spiritual energy fluctuations within the Spirit Ruins surged violently.
"You...you previously stirred up the void storm by relying on the destructive power unleashed by that Demon Lord Rahu with his God-Slaying Spear and supreme magic. The collision of the two shattered space, which is how you managed to trigger the void storm. But now you..."
The information emanating from this artifact's spirit was filled with disbelief.
"Quiet."
Li interrupted it.
At this moment, he was quietly contemplating every detail of the void storm he had just stirred up.
after all……
He had to rely on both sensing and striking the sword repeatedly to barely achieve this level; the wind-up was too long.
The enemy could not stand still in front of him and allow him to use such deadly methods.
Therefore, he still needs to think about how to optimize and speed up the activation of the Void Storm.
"You...you didn't choose the path of merging with the Dao, did you?"
Lingxu did not stop; the spiritual fluctuations contained a message full of worry: "This... although one can become an immortal by merging with the Dao, those who choose this path are often those who have exhausted their potential, are nearing their end, and have no other choice but to become rogue immortals. With your talent, it would be a great pity if you did not attain the true immortal Dao fruit..."
"You also said that I stirred up a void storm when I fought against the Demon Lord Rahu. Since I stirred up a void storm the first time, isn't it normal for me to master the method of casting a void storm again?"
Li responded calmly.
"Normal...?"
Lingxu was stunned: "Can the void storm created by your full-force attack and that of Demon Lord Rahu be compared to the void storm you are creating by yourself?"
"Once it's used, it will naturally be under my control."
After saying this, Li Xian ignored Lingxu.
But Lingxu felt a deep incomprehension.
what is this?
Once you use it, you've mastered it?
So, is that part of Rahu's power also yours?
So you've got it under your control too? It knows Li Xian is very talented, and the deeper its contact with Li Xian goes, the higher its expectations of him become.
Sword intent, sword intent supernatural powers, and comprehension of the Great Dao are all like this...
However, there are limits to human capabilities.
Even the most gifted geniuses will eventually encounter a bottleneck, and it's normal for them to be stuck for decades, centuries, or even millennia.
But now...
Void Storm, that's a technique of a true immortal!
Even after reaching the True Immortal level, Li Xian's growth and comprehension showed no signs of slowing down!
He can still maintain this rate of growth!
If that's true...
How long will it take him to attain true immortality?
A thousand years? Five hundred years? Two hundred years?
even……
One hundred years!?
How long did it take its peerless, exceptionally talented master to attain true immortality?
It doesn't remember.
but……
It's definitely more than a hundred years.
Mr. Li, could it be...?
"No, no, my master is the most talented person in the world, unparalleled in history. Her talent and aptitude are unmatched and incomparable... Li Xian, he hasn't even passed through his tribulation yet. He might suddenly encounter a bottleneck one day and be stuck for decades or even centuries..."
At this point in its thought, it felt that its idea had a hint of cursing people.
He immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, I believe that Li Xian's talent is also among the top few people, and he will eventually break through the bottleneck and attain the True Immortal Dao Fruit in a few hundred or a thousand years, but he will never be more outstanding than my master..."
It continues to reaffirm its confidence.
But this confidence...
It seems that there has been some wavering.
……
Li Xian naturally had no idea what Lingxu was thinking.
While devising a way to improve the Void Storm, a powerful attack from the void, he flew through the air on his sword. Unbeknownst to him, the void ahead became slightly more prosperous.
There were significantly more ethereal lights, spirit birds, and vehicle frames.
After flying for a while longer, at the edge of the sky, a pillar of celestial light shot straight into the clouds.
The Great Luo Immortal Sect...
Arrived!
However, upon seeing the beam of light shooting straight into the sky, Li Xian vaguely "saw" something.
After that beam of light shot into the sky, it did not shine outside the world at all.
Instead, after arriving at the Thunderflame Layer, it used the unique pure Yang power within the Thunderflame Layer to power itself, breaking through the void force field of the True Immortal Great World and entering a force field that seemed to be of a higher dimension, more vast and magnificent. From that dimension, it continuously drew in power that did not belong to the True Immortal Great World.
That power...
"Pure Yang Immortal Power!"
Li Xian understood immediately.
The essential energy for building a true immortal body: Pure Yang Immortal Power!
And that beam of light...
Or perhaps it refers to a higher dimension, a more vast and powerful force field...
"Constructing a force field for the 'Immortal Realm'?"
At this moment, he seemed to have figured out why only true immortals could ascend to heaven.
And why true immortals choose to ascend to immortality.
When Li Xian looked at the pillar of light that stretched straight to the heavens, his movements naturally slowed down.
There were quite a few cultivators coming and going from the outer perimeter of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.
When these people saw Li Xian's figure clearly, they all exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah, it's Li Daozi."
"This is the peerless prodigy of our Great Luo Immortal Sect! In the entire Eastern Continent, there are only four people with this level of talent and aptitude: Li Daozi, Yi Daozi, Zhou Yuchen, and Chu Yunji. Our Great Luo Immortal Sect has two of them!"
"Yi Daozi, who has dominated the entire sect since his birth, and Li Daozi, who is growing at an incredible speed and is now at the height of his power, are shining like two suns in our Great Luo Immortal Sect! It is truly our good fortune to witness such a magnificent sight!"
"Greetings, Li Daozi!"
Everyone who saw Li Xianhou showed respect and admiration.
Some people who considered themselves to have some status or position even took the initiative to cup their hands and greet him.
This time, returning to the clan...
No one brought up Li Xian's challenge to Yi Yuanshi anymore.
Everyone now regards him as someone on the same level as Yi Yuanshi.
These exceptional individuals, who already shine brightly in the world, challenged each other to a duel to test their skills and achieve mutual success. Isn't this a beautiful story that will be passed down through the ages?
"Senior Brother Li, you're back too."
Amidst the murmurs and discussions, a streak of light broke through the air and followed.
Li Xian glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Junior Brother Wei Ming."
When Wei Ming saw that Li Xian not only replied to his words but also addressed him as his junior brother, he was immediately flattered: "Senior Brother Li, did you return this time to listen to the True Immortal expound the Dao, just like the other senior brothers?"
"True Immortals Expounding the Dao?"
Li was somewhat surprised.
"Yes, our sect's True Immortal of the Dao Integration Realm will be expounding the profound mysteries of the Great Dao over the next few months, providing enlightenment for all those who possess a Dao body and cultivate supernatural powers..."
Wei Ming said, "For this grand event, many elders and Dao disciples of my Great Luo Immortal Sect have returned."
"They're all back?"
Li Xian's heart stirred.
He vaguely understood that the return of these people and the True Immortal's Dao demonstration were likely related to the Great War in the Immortal Realm.
"Yes, not to mention Daoist disciples Xia Hongchen, Mu Xuebai, Yu Linfeng, and Bai Suxin, even Daoist disciples Lin Taichu, Xiao Qianjie, and Luo Hengdao, who have been away from the sect for many years, have returned..."
Wei Ming responded with some excitement, then paused, "It is said that even Yi Yuanshi Yi Daozi will be returning to his sect from Tianyuan Mountain next month."
