Chapter 266 Status
"Ok?"
Li Xian had just arrived, riding his sword energy, when he discovered that almost everyone's gaze had fallen upon him at the same time.
Among the crowd, the Shadow Sword Immortal, who was known as the number one Dao Realm expert of the Great Luo Immortal Sect and had once fought against the Heavenly Demon, gestured to him with a wave of his hand.
It was as if they were inviting him to take the stage.
This……
what's the situation?
and also……
"Lord Xuanling is here too?"
Li Xian nodded slightly to the spirit of the Haotian Mirror.
"Li Daozi".
Xuanling nodded in response.
Li Xian's arrival turned the previously noisy atmosphere into a somber one.
Everyone was dissatisfied with Li Xian's ranking first behind his back, but when he actually appeared, no one questioned it anymore.
Of course, this is also related to Xuanling's personal admission that Li Xian killed the Demon Lord Rahu.
"Li Xian, you've arrived."
The Shadow Sword Immortal greeted him.
Because of An Jing, this was not the first time she had met Li Xian.
“I participated in the Immortal Realm War 360 years ago. Although I did not obtain the Dao artifact inheritance in that war, it effectively broadened my horizons and laid the foundation for my future cultivation direction. Your Excellency Xuanling will explain the information about this Immortal Realm War to us in advance. If you have any further questions, you can also ask me.”
The Path of the Shadow Sword Immortal.
Li nodded.
The Immortal Realm opens once every 360 years, and the Great Luo Immortal Sect has a considerable number of participants.
Among the more than three hundred people in front of us, some were there to get early access to information about the Immortal Realm in preparation for the next battle, but there were also more than a dozen survivors who had participated in the previous Immortal Realm War and planned to participate again.
While Li Xian and the Shadow Sword Immortal were exchanging a few words, the group that had been observing Li Xian finally started discussing again.
"This is Li Xian, Li Daozi? Just as rumored, he is extremely young!"
"He has only been cultivating for a little over thirty years... In just over thirty years, he has become so powerful that he can kill the Demon Lord Rahu and rank among the current Heavenly Lords. It's truly unbelievable!"
"The Demon Lord Rahu, with such a fearsome reputation, was ultimately defeated by Li Daozi. It's truly hard to imagine how he managed to do that."
"Let alone us, I heard my elders mention this matter two months ago, but... even my elder who survived the tribulation and attained the status of a Nascent Soul Immortal mentioned it, he was still somewhat doubtful, and even after His Majesty Xuanling personally admitted it, he was still wondering if the sect leader was creating momentum for Li Xian."
As these people discussed, their eyes continued to scrutinize Li Xian.
That kind of gaze...
This surprised Mr. Li somewhat.
"what's the situation?"
"Your slaying of the Demon Lord Rahu was too unbelievable to everyone. Now that they have seen you in person, they will naturally take a closer look to see if you have three heads and six arms."
As the Shadow Sword Immortal spoke, his gaze swept over Li Xian, saying, "Actually, the purpose of my conversation with you right now is to clarify this point."
"Lord Rahu."
As Li Xian spoke, he said with some emotion, "His strength is the greatest I have ever encountered in my life. If I hadn't possessed two top-grade Dao artifacts, I would probably have perished under his spear."
He even felt a little regretful about winning this battle.
If only we could kill Rahu Demon Lord without relying on magical artifacts.
The Shadow Sword Immortal didn't understand Li Xian's true thoughts, but he did understand the danger of that great battle.
To some extent, she, the Demon Lord Rahu, including Gu Xianyi and Song Yunqing, have all reached the limit that the Dao Realm can achieve.
Spells, magical artifacts, secret techniques, and supernatural powers have almost all reached the point where there is nothing left to practice.
After all, if one makes another breakthrough in a certain aspect, one can easily transcend the tribulation with one's physical body, and no one would be so foolish as to stop or get stuck in the Dao realm.
Fighting to the death against such an opponent is indeed a matter of slight difference leading to vastly different outcomes.
The slightest accident can become the key to turning the tide.
"In any case, you are the ultimate victor and deserve the honor and cheers of a victor."
The Path of the Shadow Sword Immortal.
The conversation between the two, however, left Yu Linfeng, Xia Hongchen, Lu Baishan and the others with somewhat gloomy expressions.
"Judging from Elder Lueying's expression, it seems he has already acknowledged Li Xian's status in the first tier..."
Lu Baishan gave a soft snort.
"A Heavenly Lord at only thirty-three years old... What kind of cultivation speed is this? Elder Lueying can only look up to him in admiration. It is only natural that he would be willing to serve as his assistant."
Xia Hongchen, however, remained calm.
The words "the thirty-three-year-old Heavenly Emperor" left Lu Baishan and even Yu Linfeng, who wanted to say something, speechless.
Even if they and their families invested a great deal in Yi Yuanshi, and had great confidence in his qualifications and talent, they still had to admit...
Li Xian's extraordinary talent is unprecedented.
If we only consider the speed at which he became a Heavenly Emperor...
To say that Luo Zhenyu is the greatest of all time is no exaggeration.
Yi Daozi is unparalleled and peerless, a once-in-ten-thousand-years talent, but to compare him to such a monstrous genius who has appeared only once in history...
Ultimately, it fell short.
At that moment, several more streaks of light descended simultaneously from the horizon.
Upon seeing the streak of light that led the way, almost half of the people in the room stood up at the same time.
Lu Baishan, Yu Linfeng, and a few others were particularly excited.
"It's Yi Daozi!" "Senior Brother Yi has arrived!"
"Senior Brother Yi has been in seclusion at Tianyuan Mountain for several years. It is said that his cultivation has greatly improved, and his combat strength is now comparable to that of the Shadow Sword Immortal!"
These people started to speak up, and some even took the initiative to greet Yi Yuanshi.
Although everyone knows that Li Xian's potential and talent surpass Yi Yuanshi's, and even...
With the news of his slaying of the Demon Lord Rahu confirmed, his strength may even surpass that of Yi Yuanshi, but his time in fame was ultimately too short.
It's so short-lived that many people don't even have time to invest in him or get entangled in any financial conflicts with him.
In this situation, it is not appropriate for the neutral faction to take the initiative to come forward, which makes it seem as if Yi Yuanshi still has the influence to rally a large following.
The moment Yi Yuanshi arrived, Li Xian also turned his gaze to him.
His view on this chief Daozi was relatively neutral.
He has his own stance.
Therefore, when he was about to kill Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli, he stepped forward and protected the two.
but……
He also has his own stance.
Since Yi Yuanshi has stepped forward, it means that he has taken over the grudges between him and Wang Xiangdong and Cheng Wanli. Therefore, a battle between the two of them is inevitable.
It's possible to do it in advance.
A year and a half later is also fine.
But this battle...
He will not let this go easily.
After exchanging pleasantries with everyone for a while, Yi Yuanshi also sensed Li Xian's gaze.
At that moment, he turned his head and his gaze fell on him.
As their eyes met, the crowd, who had been thinking of going up to greet them and exchange pleasantries, involuntarily stopped in their tracks.
The previously noisy and lively atmosphere in the venue quickly subsided, as if it had been paused.
At that moment, everyone sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two.
These two...
One is Yi Yuanshi, who has been a Daoist for over a hundred years and has been the chief Daoist for over sixty years. He is undoubtedly the most outstanding disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect and should succeed Sect Master Lu Linyuan as the first disciple to become the leader of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.
The other is Li Xian, who, after only ten years of cultivation, soared to the heavens with unprecedented speed and unparalleled talent, slaying the Demon Lord Rahu and attaining the strength of a Heavenly Monarch. He is currently the undisputed number one Dao Realm expert in the Great Luo Immortal Sect and even the entire Eastern Continent!
Within a single generation, two such unparalleled geniuses have emerged...
For the two of them, it's hard to say whether this should be considered a misfortune.
After a moment of staring at each other, Yi Yuanshi finally spoke first.
"Li Xian."
He seemed to know what he cared about most, and said directly, "I still remember the duel between us."
"very good."
Li nodded.
He looked at Yi Yuanshi, pondered for a moment, and said, "Should we move it forward?"
As he spoke, he tried to make his tone sound more sincere: "Otherwise, if we really wait another year and a half... oh, it's one year and nine months... if we really wait until then, I'm worried that your chances of winning will get smaller and smaller."
Upon hearing this, Yu Linfeng, who greatly admired Yi Yuanshi and regarded him as an idol, suddenly blushed.
He opened his mouth, about to rebuke Li Xian for his arrogance.
But when he saw that, apart from him, no one else stood up despite being equally angry at the words, he suddenly realized something.
Mr. Li...
We now possess the strength to slay the Demon Lord Rahu!
And considering his rapid growth from a beginner to a Heavenly Lord in less than ten years...
If they wait another two years, Yi Yuanshi's hopes might really become quite slim.
On the contrary, now that Yi Yuanshi has just made a breakthrough on Tianyuan Mountain and his cultivation has greatly improved, it is indeed the time when he has the greatest chance of fighting Li Xian.
What Mr. Li said...
Is it actually for Yi Yuanshi's good?
"Oh."
Yi Yuanshi wasn't angry at Li Xian's remarks. Instead, he laughed and said, "Li Xian, you're so confident in your strength. Aren't you afraid that my gains at Tianyuan Mountain will be greater than what's circulating outside? That my strength will be even greater than people guess?"
"If your breakthrough is truly more amazing than the rumors suggest, I will be even happier and more eager to see it happen."
Li Xian's eyes sparkled with genuine joy.
Yi Yuanshi read it...
He chuckled to himself.
"I believe."
Yi Yuanshi said, calming down: "However, the battle of the Immortal Realm is only a little time away. This battle is of great importance. For us top combatants, it is even more important to ensure the safety of all those who have gone deep into the Immortal Realm with us."
He looked at Li Xian and said, "If we don't go all out in this battle, it will be a pity. But if we do go all out... no one can guarantee that neither of us will be injured."
"Ok?"
Li Xian was somewhat surprised to hear this.
Even after he killed the Demon Lord Rahu, Yi Yuanshi still had the confidence to think that the battle between the two of them might turn into a life-or-death struggle.
"Therefore, we must prioritize. Let's focus all our efforts on the battle for the Immortal Realm! Once the battle for the Immortal Realm is over, we will return with everyone..."
Yi Yuanshi's voice was firm and powerful: "If you still choose to bring forward the duel time... I will accompany you to the end."
