Chapter 267 Speech
The Battle of the Immortal Realm.

It involves the interests of the sect.

Li Xian was not someone who was blinded by right and wrong in his pursuit of battle.

With Yi Yuanshi's appearance at the last moment, all those involved in the Immortal Realm War were present.

Soon, two streaks of light simultaneously broke through the air.

Upon seeing these two people, many people in the room simultaneously bowed and greeted them.

"Sect Leader Lin, Elder Zhan."

The two of them nodded to the crowd.

Then, without any preamble, we got straight to the point.

"My name is Lin Jiutian. Seven hundred and twenty years ago, I ascended to the position of Vice Sect Master in the Immortal Realm. I participated in two Immortal Realm Wars. Zhan Jiehui and Zhan Taishang swept away all enemies in the Immortal Realm War one thousand and eighty years ago, bringing back nine Dao artifacts for the sect, including two superior Dao artifacts!"

Lin Jiutian, the deputy sect leader, spoke first and gave a brief self-introduction.

"Many people know about the Immortal Realm, but no one can say for sure what it is."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand, and a huge transparent sphere materialized.

Immediately afterwards, another transparent sphere appeared in his left hand, and he controlled the two spheres to approach each other.

As the spheres approached, the forces emanating from them converged, creating a spatial distortion.

He then slightly stabilized this distorted area of ​​space: "This is the Immortal Realm!"

When Lin Jiutian spoke, Li Xian's gaze was fixed on the two illusory spheres that he had condensed.

Combined with his understanding of the power of the void...

"That must be the Immortal Realm."

Li Xianxin said.

"The Immortal Realm is a force field, a tide, a trajectory, a ripple... These are the ripples created when the Gate of the Immortal Realm locates our True Immortal Great World."

Lin Jiutian's voice echoed in the courtyard: "These ripples are fleeting to the Immortal Realm and the True Immortal Great World, which have existed for hundreds of millions of years, but for us, who only have a lifespan of a thousand years, they will last for several months!"

He said in a deep voice, "It will take four or five months at most, or one or two months at least. All of you will be inside, searching for Dao artifacts and inheritances that have been 'pushed' out of the Immortal Realm Gate by this ripple power. Sometimes... you may even obtain some Immortal artifact materials that have been passed down from inside the Immortal Realm Gate!"

Dao artifacts, inheritances, immortal-grade materials...

Each and every one of these items was something that everyone in the room desperately wanted.

As for inheritance, that's fine; the Great Luo Immortal Sect has plenty of that.

But let alone immortal-grade materials, even any Dao artifact...

For almost everyone present, it was a treasure powerful enough to defy fate.

Even without the strength of a top-tier True Monarch, having a Dao artifact by their side is enough to increase their chances of transcending tribulation from less than half a percent to twenty or thirty percent, or even forty or fifty percent.

"When a drop of water falls into the water, the ripples it creates never just one circle."

At this moment, Lin Jiutian's voice rang out again: "After entering the Immortal Realm, the space inside will be disturbed every once in a while. Everyone will be swept away to the outer layer as if caught in a spatial turbulence. When they are about to be swept away by the spatial turbulence, they must try to go against the current."

He solemnly said, "The space of the Immortal Realm is very heavy. Once you are swept to the outermost layer, not to mention using void techniques to travel, even your flight speed will be severely affected. By the time you finally manage to return to the inner layer, the Immortal Realm may have already closed."

"Are these turbulent currents created by the ripples... very frequent?"

Someone asked a question.

"Good question. The frequency of turbulence is related to the opening time of the Immortal Realm. The longer the time, the lower the frequency of turbulence. The shorter the time, the higher the frequency. And a higher frequency proves that the force rushing out from inside the Immortal Realm Gate is enormous."

Lin Jiutian smiled and said, "Taking a month as an example, the turbulence frequency averages about thirty times. Reaching forty times is already considered a high frequency. If it's fifty times... heh, that means your great opportunity has arrived."

Everyone understood what he meant.

The higher the frequency, the greater the force that bursts out of the gate to the celestial realm; the greater the force, the more things naturally burst out.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a great opportunity.

"Therefore, when turbulence comes, those who can go against the current will reap greater benefits."

As Lin Jiutian spoke, he glanced at the others in the room: "Of course, even if you are swept to the outer edge by the spatial turbulence, there is no need to be too afraid. During the turbulence, a small number of Dao artifacts and immortal materials that can be considered to have escaped the net will be swept to the outer layer, but... since they are the ones that have escaped the net, their number is naturally extremely small, and it all depends on luck."

"If spatial turbulence is everywhere, wouldn't that be detrimental to group operations?"

Another person spoke up.

"No, teamwork is still very important, or rather, teamwork is the real key to the war in the Immortal Realm."

Zhan Jiehui, standing to the side, said in a deep voice: "Spatial turbulence is static. Group cooperation can better resist the disturbance of turbulence. This is why we need to establish a sequence and arrange the order of events. If the current sequence has a problem, the subsequent sequence can take over control immediately to ensure the safety of the group."

These words drew nods of agreement from everyone present.

But at this moment, Zhan Jiehui changed the subject again: "Of course, this group does not refer to a unified group, but a group with similar strength. In fact, if one person has the strength to rival a group, acting alone is more advantageous. After all, the 138 people going to the Immortal Realm are of varying strengths and have their own strengths. Forcibly binding them together would not be conducive to their performance."

He glanced at Li Xian, Yi Yuanshi, Lueying and the others: "Back then, I acted alone and eventually obtained nine Dao artifacts."

Back then, he was a swordsman no less powerful than the Shadow Sword Immortal...

Even more famous than the Shadow Sword Immortal, a Heavenly Lord figure.

This can be seen from the fact that he cultivated to the peak of the Human Immortal realm in just 1,080 years.

"Acting alone?"

Lu Baishan, Yuan Jie, and the others all turned their gazes to Li Xian.

Despite Li Xian's feat of slaying the Demon Lord Rahu, they still knew too little about him and were not very willing to accept his command.

Unfortunately, the sect ranked him first, and they had no choice but to comply...

In this situation, the best course of action is for Li to be more self-aware, act alone, and refrain from giving orders in front of them.

Next, Lin Jiutian and Zhan Jiehui began to explain the unique characteristics of the Immortal Realm.

The entire Immortal Realm, apart from the Immortal Gate which seems to float in the sky but is like another dimension, and the True Immortal Great World below which is also on another level, has no distinction between up, down, left, and right.

Of course, the occasional bursts of impact still give people a sense of "direction," helping them distinguish between the inner and outer layers.

After the introduction of the Immortal Realm was finished, Lin Jiutian quickly turned the topic to another key point.

"Next, you will need to take notes on the top figures in each of these groups!"

The deputy sect leader solemnly said, "Those of you who intend to participate in the Immortal Realm Competition have at least cultivated the Yin Spirit. However, even if you have cultivated the Yin Spirit, your vision is still limited to the Eastern Continent. You probably only know the names of the geniuses and legends outside the Eastern Continent, but not their real names. And beyond the Eastern Continent, there are the Western Continent, the Endless Sea, the Abyss Sea, and..."

He paused slightly before speaking: "The Central Continent, which is dominated by the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Tianyuan Sect, and the Shenxiao Sect!"

The general reaction to other forces was lukewarm, but to the Nine Heavens Holy Land…

Everyone's expression turned serious.

The leader of the nine great immortal sects...

It is by no means an undeserved reputation.

Since the defeat of the demon race, the Nine Heavens Holy Land has risen rapidly. If it weren't for the emergence of Daoist Tianyuan at the critical moment, the True Immortal Great World would have been engulfed in war long ago, and it would be unknown whether even half of the nine great immortal sects would still be alive.

"There are many lists about the Dao Realm, but we believe the most valuable list is this list of the strongest Dao Realm experts... Furthermore, we have added detailed annotations to this list so that you can have a deeper understanding of everyone on it."

As Lin Jiutian spoke, he glanced at Xuanling.

Xuanling nodded slightly.

Soon, everyone had received a document.

Li Xian glanced at it...

It was the same list he had seen before.

Zhang Taiyuan is first, Song Yunqing is second, Gu Xianyi is third, and Luo Hou Demon Lord is fourth...

"The fourth-ranked Demon Lord Rahu is already dead, but his information is still valuable for reference, and can help you understand why he is ranked fourth."

Xuanling smiled and offered an explanation.

"You guys... especially Li Xian, you need to pay special attention to Zhang Taiyuan!"

Lin Jiutian also spoke up: "He is the disciple of Ji Chunjun, the Holy Lord of Juntian! Back then, Daoist Tianyuan suppressed the Nine Heavens Holy Land, which was regarded as a great disgrace by all the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Zhang Taiyuan was also the most radical among them. The reason why he has not yet undergone tribulation is that he is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for an opportunity to suppress Tianyuan Sect and all the Dao Realms in the entire True Immortal Great World, so as to declare to the world that the power of the Nine Heavens Holy Land is as strong as ever!"

He looked at Li Xian, Yi Yuanshi, and Lueying and said, "The battle of the Immortal Realm is the opportunity he has been waiting for!"

"So... he entered the Immortal Realm not to obtain Dao artifacts, but rather..."

Yi Yuanshi frowned slightly.

"good."

Lin Jiutian nodded slightly: "Defeat... and even kill everyone!"

"Isn't he afraid of provoking public outrage by doing this?"

Yu Linfeng couldn't help but say.

"Public outrage?"

Lin Jiutian sneered: "The ambitions of the Nine Heavens Holy Land are obvious. So what if it has aroused public anger?"

"The Nine Heavens Holy Land might not necessarily act so recklessly."

Zhan Jiehui had a different opinion: "Although the list includes all the experts from our nine immortal sects, four immortal dynasties, and even six demonic sects, the Twilight Divine Court, the Silent Ancient Temple, the demon race, and some alien races that are lurking in our True Immortal Great World are omitted due to incomplete information. The Nine Heavens Holy Land is not afraid of us, but what if it attracts all forces to attack us together?"

Elder Zhan.

Lin Jiutian glanced at Zhan Jiehui: "Zhang Taiyuan is really different. His thoughts cannot be measured by common sense."

The sect leader, Lin, solemnly said, "Moreover, the Nine Heavens Holy Land has been suppressed by Daoist Tianyuan for too long. They must use other methods to declare their strength. Since a war in the Immortal Realm is impossible, they can only place their heavy bets on the war in the Immortal Domain."

"What did Lord Xuanling say?"

Zhan Jiehui glanced at Xuanling beside him.

"Based on the information gathered in my hands, it is highly probable that Zhang Taiyuan will sweep through the Immortal Realm."

Xuanling gave a precise response: "Therefore, the best way is to act collectively. In this way, even if we encounter Zhang Taiyuan, we will be able to deal with him."

Hearing Xuanling's answer, Zhan Jiehui fell silent.

After a long while, he said, "A thousand years ago, I was one of the top Heavenly Lords. There were only a handful of people who were on par with me. Although there may be differences in our rankings, if we were to fight to the death, we would both be severely injured. Therefore, the mutual fear among the Heavenly Lords actually created a balance."

He glanced at Li Xian and the others: "Someone like Zhang Taiyuan, who can dominate the entire field single-handedly... has only appeared about ten times in history. So, the decision is up to you."

"Personal opportunities are important, but as the chief Daoist disciple..."

Yi Yuanshi paused, glanced at Li Xian, and smiled: "Perhaps it's not quite true to my name now, but... since you trust me, I will walk hand in hand with you and do my best to bring you back safely."

Lueying turned her gaze to Li Xian: "What did Li Daozi say? I intend to form a sharp blade squad. If Li Daozi comes along, I can appoint him as the captain, so that we can become a powerful team that can force Zhang Taiyuan to avoid his sharp edge even if we face him!" "Zhang Taiyuan."

Li Xian muttered this name to himself.

He could sense it.

Not to mention Yi Yuanshi and the Shadow Sword Immortal, even Lin Jiutian, the vice sect leader who had already transcended tribulation and become an immortal, was full of fear towards him.

For a moment, his heart was filled with anticipation.

"I want to give it a try."

He began to speak.

"Ok?"

The Shadow Sword Immortal looked at him.

Xuanling also turned her gaze to him and smiled slightly.

"I want to have a match with Zhang Taiyuan and see if this number one holy son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land and the number one person in the Dao Realm Supreme Ranking is really as powerful as rumored."

Li Xian addressed the crowd directly.

"you……"

The Shadow Sword Immortal was immediately taken aback.

Yi Yuanshi, who was standing to the side, looked at him with some surprise.

Lin Jiutian, the vice sect leader, couldn't help but say, "Li Xian, you were able to kill the Demon Lord Luo Hou right now, and you were indeed at the peak of your confidence and momentum. The invincible heart you forged even made you feel that no one in the Dao Realm could match you, but... Zhang Taiyuan and Luo Hou are different from Song Yunqing and Gu Xianyi."

He pondered for a moment and said, "The information we have shows that Zhang Taiyuan has a Chaotic Dao Body. Relying on the advantages of this Dao Body, he has also cultivated four supreme spells. He has cultivated each one to the ninth level. The strongest ones, the Great Disintegration Technique and the Void Heaven Dharma Body, have been pushed to the tenth level, which is almost something that only a Ghost Immortal Flower can cultivate for thousands of years!"

He paused for a moment: "Peerless geniuses can usually transcend tribulations and become immortals in two or three hundred years, or even directly transcend tribulations with their physical bodies... But Zhang Taiyuan... You can think of him as a peerless genius who has cultivated for seven or eight hundred years but has not yet transcended tribulations!"

Yi Yuanshi, who was standing to the side, nodded slightly.

He could also imagine that if he didn't encounter a bottleneck and maintained this growth rate for another 360 years, he might be able to dominate the Immortal Realm.

“Li Daozi, as an unparalleled genius, it’s normal for you to have your own pride. No one doubts your talent and ability. If you were given a few hundred years, no one would think you would be inferior to Zhang Taiyuan. But... your cultivation time is ultimately too short.”

The Path of the Shadow Sword Immortal.

Li Xian smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the Shadow Sword Immortal, Lin Jiutian, and even Yi Yuanshi, who all understood the common problem among geniuses, said nothing more and instead turned their gaze to Xuanling.

But Xuanling...

It did not offer any dissuasion.

For a moment, both the Shadow Sword Immortal and Lin Jiutian felt somewhat helpless.

Their relationship with Li Xian wasn't good enough to influence his decision, and seeing that he had made up his mind, they couldn't say anything more.

"Then, everyone, please form your own teams. Soon, a True Immortal will perform the ritual. The first one to perform the ritual is Mo Xingzhou, the Supreme Elder Mo."

Xuanling smiled and said something.

"The first practitioner to demonstrate the Dharma was actually Mo Taishang!?"

"Master Mo is a Pure Yang True Immortal who attained the Dao Fruit through the Upper Chaos Dao in our Great Luo Immortal Sect. He is also the most senior True Immortal in our Great Luo Immortal Sect. He has dedicated his life to the Great Luo Immortal Sect with diligence and dedication."

"Mo Taishang's Dao of Derivation is probably not of much use to Yi Daozi. After all, as Yi Daozi's master, he can consult Mo Taishang at any time."

A murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.

Lu Baishan, Yu Linfeng, and others stood up straight.

As the most senior Pure Yang True Immortal, Elder Mo Xingzhou is the pillar of their family sect. It is precisely because of Elder Mo's existence that they have been able to effectively restrain Sect Master Lu's many radical and willful actions, and maintain the stable development of the Great Luo Immortal Sect to this day.

The commotion in the area lasted for a moment, then the space above the garden suddenly dimmed.

Li Xian quickly sensed something from the sudden change.

His chaotic Dao body became more active than ever before at this moment.

He reached out, and a Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi condensed from within his body.

This sword energy, which could normally be formed in the blink of an eye, seemed to be affected by external factors. The moment it left the body, it was confused, disintegrated, and turned into chaotic energy.

When Li Xian unleashed his magic, the others also realized what was happening.

"I can't cast my spells!?"

"Stop making a fuss, Mo Tai is coming up. Carefully comprehend this, this is the Great Dao of Chaos! Even if you can't comprehend the mysteries of the Great Dao of Chaos, after gaining a deeper understanding of this power of the Great Dao, you will be able to deal with similar attacks in the future."

"This is the Dao Domain! Mo Taishang actually risked Dao transformation, temporarily transforming himself into the Dao, and after subduing the true essence of the Chaos Dao, he revealed it all before us. At this moment, this area is the Dao Field of the Chaos Dao! Quickly! Quickly comprehend it! Such an opportunity is once in a thousand years!"

The Daoist disciples and elders had different emotions, but after the initial commotion, they quickly focused their minds and began to comprehend the mystery.

Even Yi Yuanshi was no exception.

It is said that he was originally a True Immortal from the Great Luo Immortal Sect who cultivated the Great Dao of Order. When he ascended to the Great Luo Immortal Sect, he sensed a wisp of the essence of the Great Dao of Order. After a long period of cultivation, he was reincarnated as a human and joined the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Among the contemporary Great Luo Immortal Sect's True Immortals, none of them follow this path. Only Mo Xingzhou's Chaotic Dao is completely opposite to the Order, which is why he became his disciple.

Currently, Mo Xingzhou is manifesting the Great Dao of Chaos, and he himself is also manifesting the power of order to counter it, and this power of order...

It has clearly been discovered to its fullest extent.

The interplay of order and chaos immediately attracted the attention of many people in the room.

"Yi Daozi has actually explored the power of the Dao Body to such an extent? The Heavenly Origin Jade Disc truly lives up to its reputation as a supreme treasure capable of evolving into myriad Daos!"

"No wonder Senior Brother Yi was still confident he could fight Luo Hou Demon Lord even after learning that Li Xian had killed him. He has actually mastered the power of order!? That's great!"

"A Great Completion Dao Body! Senior Brother Yi actually has a Great Completion Dao Body! If he takes another step forward and his Dao Body is perfected, wouldn't he be able to begin refining the void and merging with the Dao, and attain the true immortal Dao fruit?"

Suppressive fluctuations of divine consciousness echoed continuously from the elders and Dao disciples.

The joy on the faces of Lu Baishan, Yu Linfeng, and other members of Yi Yuanshi's faction was almost impossible to conceal.

When Yi Yuanshi manifested the profound power of order, the Chaotic Dao Body within Li Xian's body was also activated.

This Supreme Master Mo Xingzhou risked being corrupted by the Chaos Dao by temporarily transforming himself into the Dao, thus revealing the true essence of the Chaos Dao, which was tantamount to pointing out the direction of the Chaos Dao for him.

Such an opportunity is no less than that of the spirits of the void.

Or rather...

At this moment, Mo Xingzhou was a chaotic spirit.

Guided by this spirit of chaos, he quickly sensed the direction of his exploration of the Great Dao of Chaos.

The sense of life was immediately and accurately captured by Li Xian, and then, following this sense and direction, he further explored it.

With each correct and memorable experience, his understanding of the Great Dao of Chaos deepened and deepened...

During this process, his resonance with the Great Dao of Chaos also continuously increased.

Even the profound mysteries of the chaotic Dao surrounding him seemed to overshadow him, as he wrote his own understanding from the Dao truth derived from a true immortal.

"So that's it... So this is the Great Dao of Chaos..."

Li Xian was filled with emotion, but his comprehension of the Great Dao of Chaos showed no signs of stagnation.

The path ahead is becoming clearer, and the opportunity to achieve mastery of the Chaos Dao Body is just around the corner.

When this profound insight and opportunity become so clear that it finally illuminates and points to the great transformation of the Dao body...

Stopped.

The unfolding of the Great Dao of Chaos has come to a halt.

An unprecedented sense of frustration, loss, and even emptiness surged forth as the Great Dao of Chaos receded.

For most people, this kind of setback and disappointment, coming to an abrupt end at a crucial moment, would more or less affect their mental state.

In more serious cases, this worry might arise every time someone is about to achieve mastery of their Dao, causing them to become distracted and interrupt their comprehension.

Although Li Xian was not afraid of not being able to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Great Dao once he captured the inspiration, this feeling still made him very uncomfortable.

When he recovered from this sermon, he discovered that the figure of an old man with white hair and a youthful face had somehow appeared and was now hovering above the garden.

The profound mysteries of the Great Dao of Chaos gradually receded into his body.

And the surrounding area...

Almost everyone had finished their meditation, feeling that they hadn't had enough.

Even so, Li Xian still cupped his hands and said, "Could you please ask Master Mo to expound the Dao for me once more?"

“I have already taken up the time of other elders to extend your preaching time by one day. If you are not able to do so, why force it?”

Mo Xingzhou glanced at Li Xian indifferently, and the next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.

After a quick calculation, Li Xian was astonished to discover that he had been meditating for seven days.

According to Xuanling, in the next two months, ten true immortals will indeed be invited to each expound the Dao for six days.

Mo Xingzhou said he specially extended his performance time by one day just for him...

That's not wrong.

"What a pity. In just six more days... or even five more days, I could have fully mastered the Chaos Dao Body..."

He felt a little regretful.

Xuanling, however, watched Mo Xingzhou's departing figure, her spiritual energy flickering slightly.

It seems a bit strange.

But in the end, it didn't figure anything out.

Mo Xingzhou did not hesitate to temporarily transform into a Daoist, evolving a Chaotic Dao Domain in the form of a Chaotic Ruler, which enveloped the garden and revealed the true essence of the Chaotic Dao.

All his actions were legal and compliant, and there were no problems whatsoever.

They even did more diligently than others, and there was nothing wrong with that.

After Mo Xingzhou left, another figure appeared immediately.

Although this one is not a Pure Yang True Immortal like Mo Xingzhou who attained the Dao Fruit, he is still a powerful immortal who merged with the Dao.

He was naturally reluctant to sacrifice himself to become the Dao, lest his "self" be further eroded by the Great Dao. Instead, he acted in an official capacity, pointing with a mere gesture, radiating brilliance.

"What I have evolved is the Limitless Dao..."
