Chapter 280 Departure
“too weak.”

Li Yan wiped out the two tribes of Eclipse, Moon and Thunder with a flick of his finger. He lowered his eyes, thinking about something.

Originally, he thought that these alien races in the Hedao realm were so powerful that even Sang Jie, a top-notch Hedao swordsman, could not deal with them.

But when he personally came into contact with the strong men of these two tribes.

Because the power of the laws of the two races was manifested, he could clearly see the level of laws of the two races.

Then he was surprised to find that the strength of the two tribes’ strong men was very low, with only the power of the fifth or sixth order law level.

This level of laws is at most equivalent to the level of ordinary Spirit Lords and Ancient Emperors in the real world.

It was completely different from what he expected.

The strong ones in the Blood Dove Clan are weak in strength.

The Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon clans are known as the two most powerful alien clans in Northern Continent, but how could their strength be so weak?

This made him start to think that perhaps there was something wrong with his previous assessment of the level of strength in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Li Yan originally thought that the Mahayana Sword Immortal of the Taiyi Sword Realm should correspond to the Great Emperor of the True Realm.

The strong men from the Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon tribes are the top seventh-level cave-heaven alien tribes.

It should be at least close to the eighth level of strength.

But now that they met, he realized that his previous idea was wrong.

“It seems that perhaps the great sword immortals in the Taiyi Sword Realm have the power of the seventh and eighth order laws.”

Li Yan understood and felt at ease.

It seems that with his current strength, even if he goes to Tianmen immediately, his strength level in Tianmen will probably not be at the bottom.

Of course, having said that.

But he must practice to the Mahayana realm before going to the Heavenly Gate.

“Fellow Daoist Li… have you really already broken into the Mahayana realm?!”

Sang Jie’s eyes were filled with shock as he asked Li Yan.

He really couldn’t understand the strong men from the Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon tribes who had once caused him a lot of problems.

It was actually wiped out so easily by Li Yan.

Once these strong men die, the remaining remnants of the two clans will no longer be a threat.

There is no need for Li Yan to even take action, they can send people to clean up those remnants themselves.

Not only Sang Jie, but also the top sword masters who came with Sang Jie looked at Li Yan with respect.

They thought this trip would be a fierce battle.

However, they did not expect that they did not even need to take action. Li Yan alone wiped out all the strong men from the two tribes and the tribesmen who came to join the war.

With such strength, let alone a Mahayana Sword Immortal, even a true Sword Immortal above a Mahayana Sword Immortal is no more than this!

Li Yan smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, “Of course I would not lie to Fellow Daoist Sang. Perhaps it is because of the cultivation method I practiced that I have such strength.”

As soon as he finished speaking, curiosity suddenly appeared in the eyes of all the top sword masters.

What kind of martial arts could allow one to possess such terrifying strength at the Hedao stage? It really made them yearn for it.

Sang Jie took a deep breath when he heard this. Others might not know, but how could he not know what kind of martial arts Li Yan was practicing.

So at this moment he has made up his mind.

No matter what, we must train a disciple who practices the Taiyi Sword Canon!
Sang Jie looked up and noticed the curious looks in the eyes of the sword practitioners.

He sighed softly and said, “You should actually know the technique that Daoist Fellow Li practices.”

“Oh?”

The sword cultivators’ eyes suddenly lit up when they heard this. After a little thought, they understood what kind of martial arts Li Yan was practicing that Sang Jie was talking about.

There was a look of surprise in their eyes.

“After practicing Taiyi Sword Classic to the Hedao stage, it turns out that he has such a strong power?”

“It seems that we must take this technique seriously.”

“I don’t think so. Although Taiyi Sword Canon is powerful, it shouldn’t be this much stronger.”

“In my opinion, it must be that Brother Li is extremely talented, which is why he has such strength now!”

The cultivators were discussing the matter, and now the leaders of the two clans had been eliminated.

They were free from stress, so they were very relaxed.

Sang Jie sent out several Hedao sword practitioners and a group of elders and disciples from the sect to clean up the remaining remnants of the two clans in the Seventeen Regions.

Because he was worried that there were still masters in the two tribes, Li Yan did not leave immediately, but practiced in the Wuhui Sword Sect for a while.

He left the Wuhui Sword Sect only after he was sure that the two clans’ caves had been completely pacified.

Naturally, Sang Jie was very grateful for this. He not only gave Li Yan the remaining two sword techniques in his sect, but also gave Li Yan many spiritual materials and elixirs needed for his practice.

Li Yan did not refuse. Even if he could not use these spiritual materials and elixirs, he could leave them to Qingya Sect.

At the same time, he also learned some clues about the seventh level of swordsmanship from Sang Jie.

The seventh realm of kendo is called One Sword Creates All Things. There is no sword formula to guide this realm, and you can only experience it by yourself.

Li Yan sped all the way and soon returned to Qingya Sect.

This time he planned to directly elevate his realm to the Mahayana realm before coming out of seclusion.

And during the time when he was in seclusion, the news that the Eclipse Moon and Thunder Demon clans in Beizhou were pacified by the new great sword immortal from Jiuhua Prefecture quickly spread throughout the entire Taiyi Sword World.

All forces were alarmed, especially some sword sects that were deeply disturbed by the alien races in the cave.

I also had the idea of asking Li Yan for help.

They sent out elders to travel day and night, and soon arrived at Jiuhua Prefecture.

But at this time Li Yan was still in seclusion.

He originally had no plan to come out into the world, but instead planned to cultivate to the Mahayana realm before pacifying these alien races in the cave heavens.

But after receiving requests from various sects, they realized that if they broke through to the Mahayana stage, they would no longer be able to enter the seventh-level cave heaven.

Therefore, he changed his mind and practiced while traveling to various territories of the Taiyi Sword Realm to quell the disaster caused by the alien races in the cave heaven.

After all, he came to this world to achieve harmony with the Dao. If he left these cave alien races alone, it might have an impact on his strength.

He is destined to go to Tianmen next, and he doesn’t know whether he can return to Taiyi Sword Realm after going to Tianmen.

So you must prepare in advance.

Time flies, and thirty years have passed.

During this period of time, Li Yan went to various places in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

Whether it was the seventh-level cave heaven or the eighth-level cave heaven, he could easily pacify them.

Li Yan’s reputation in the Taiyi sword world was greatly enhanced, because all the sword practitioners knew that the innate divine sword held by Li Yan was named Mo Yuan.

Therefore, Li Yan is called Mo Yuan Sword Immortal.

At the same time, his realm was also raised to the peak of Hedao during this period of time.

He returned to Qingya Sect and, as expected, broke through to the Mahayana realm. At the same time, after surviving the nine-nine thunder tribulations, as expected, he once again attracted the divine sword vision, which greatly increased the sword talents of the elders and disciples in Qingya Sect.

With Li Yan’s current prestige in the Taiyi sword world, he is even the most powerful person in Qingya Sect.

Apart from Li Yan, there is also the Qingya Patriarch who has firmly reached the realm of refining emptiness with the help of massive cultivation resources.

However, it is still known as the fourth top sword sect in Beizhou, and was given fragments of the Taixu Cave Heaven Map, which can provide disciples with the opportunity to travel to various caves for training.

Although the upper echelons of Qingya Sect are far behind those of the top sword sects, the new disciples are already extremely outstanding.

Almost every disciple in the Qi Refining Stage has cultivated the unity of body and sword to perfection.

Among the foundation-building disciples, there are also many second-level sword candidates.

The Jindan and Yuanying elders had already improved their sword skills to a level that matched their cultivation.

Wei Xu, who has the strongest talent in swordsmanship, has already become a fourth-level sword candidate in the Nascent Soul realm. His future achievements are destined to be extraordinary.

“It’s time to set off for Tianmen.”

Li Yan sat cross-legged in the cave and slowly opened his eyes. His Mahayana true essence was now pure and solid, having reached an unprecedented level.

Although he is only in the early stage of Mahayana now, the highest level of Taiyi Sword Canon is only the Hedao realm.

Therefore, there is no way to continue improving the realm of cultivation. He can only find the Mahayana chapter of Taiyi Sword Classic before he can continue to improve his realm.

However, he had already inquired in various places in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

The final clues all point to Tianmen.

So the next step for Li Yan must be to set off for Tianmen.

But before leaving, there are some things he still needs to explain.

Li Yan flew out of the cave and went straight to pay a visit to Master Qingya.

The Taiyi Sword Classic taught him by Patriarch Qingya was the foundation for his enlightenment in this world.

After he leaves, of course we have to make arrangements for his escape.

After leaving some protective treasures with the Qingya Patriarch, he did not stay in the Qingya Sect for long and left the Qingya Sect quietly.

Except for Patriarch Qingya, no one knew that the sword immortal Mo Yuan, who was already famous in the five continents, had already left Qingya Sect.

After Li Yan left, Qingya Sect continued to flourish.

Patriarch Qingya did not spread the news of Li Yan’s departure.

It was not until several hundred years later that the top sword practitioners in the Taiyi Sword Realm learned about it. After several attempts, they finally discovered that Li Yan had already set out for Tianmen.

However, the Qingya Sect had already become a powerful force at that time, and the Qingya Patriarch had the secret treasure left by Li Yan. Although there were strong people who intended to attack the Qingya Sect, they wanted to explore the secret of Li Yan’s rise.

But he was easily killed by the means left by Li Yan.

After seeing the horrific methods left behind by Li Yan, some cultivators who originally had ill intentions towards Qingya Sect had to give up their ideas.

A thousand years later, a Qingya Sect disciple named Ye Tian was the first to step into the Hedao realm and became a seventh-rank swordsman.

This laid the foundation for the prosperity of Qingya Sect.

As the number of seventh-level sword cultivators in Qingya Sect increased, the name of Qingya Sword Sect became famous in the Taiyi Sword World.

In the following tens of thousands of years, the Qingya Sect experienced several ups and downs, and finally gave birth to a son of destiny, who completely established the Qingya Sect’s position as the top sword sect in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

At this moment, Li Yan didn’t know what the future of Qingya Sect would be like.

He left enough means for the Qingya Patriarch to deal with various crises.

Afterwards, he followed the Tianmen route map given to him by the Qinglian Sword Sect, the top sword sect in Zhongzhou, and flew into the sky and found the node in Beizhou.

After experiencing the baptism of strong winds and thunder from the nine heavens, he finally succeeded in entering the node. After passing through a long space passage, he finally arrived at a place with abundant spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is more abundant than any other place he has been to in the Taiyi Sword Realm.

And in this area, in addition to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there is also another kind of inexplicable power.

“This is… the power of law!”

Li Yan was somewhat surprised. He did not expect that the principles of swordsmanship would be directly revealed in the Tianmen territory.

He had already comprehended a level of laws close to the tenth order, and he also had the reference of the sword laws that were manifested in this Tianmen area.

He wanted to continue to comprehend the principles of swordsmanship at a speed that would not even be much slower than before.

You have to know that it was because Li Yan’s law level was at the ninth level, and he had a commanding position, so he was able to move at that speed.

By the time he had comprehended the laws of swordsmanship to the eighth level, he had already exhausted all his resources.

So Li Yan originally thought that if he wanted to upgrade the sword-dao rules to the ninth level, it would take at least hundreds of years without other opportunities or methods.

To others, this speed is already unimaginable.

But for Li Yan, whose cultivation speed has always been extremely terrifying, it seems extremely long.

But unexpectedly, after entering Tianmen, things suddenly took a turn for the better.

With these sword laws that are directly manifested in Tianmen, he only needs to compare them with the laws he has comprehended, and he can easily improve the level of the sword laws.

“But the most important thing right now is not to comprehend the laws, but to find the cultivators in Tianmen and ask where I can get the Mahayana chapter of Taiyi Sword Canon.”

Li Yan was certain in his heart and scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, but apart from some special creatures similar to monsters, he found no trace of humans.

So he just found a direction and flew away into the distance, while at the same time scanning the surroundings with his mind, looking for traces of human cultivators.

Li Yan flew eastward for half a day.

Then, his mind suddenly sensed the figure of a Mahayana sword cultivator fleeing at a high speed. He was immediately delighted and immediately increased his speed, flying towards the Mahayana sword cultivator.

……

Gu Zhe’s expression was solemn. He used the sword escape technique and in a flash he was hundreds of thousands of miles away.

But the strong man from the Cinder Clan who was chasing him from behind was following him closely and never gave up.

“You are a powerful ninth-rank cultivator, who is already comparable to a cultivator at the True Immortal level. You actually bully a small cultivator like me by hunting me down. You are really shameless!”

Gu Zhe cursed in his heart.

Fortunately, he is not far from the Eastern Region of Tianmen now. There are many powerful human beings in the Eastern Region of Tianmen, and they should be able to scare away this ninth-level strongman of the Lanyu clan.

Just as he was flying towards the Eastern Region, he suddenly felt a powerful divine thought passing through him.

Gu Zhe was suddenly shocked. For some reason, he felt that this divine aura seemed to be even stronger than that of the ninth-level strongman of the Jin clan who was chasing him.

“Is there another strong alien chasing us?”

His heart sank, and he immediately planned to expend his blood and energy to perform sword escape and distance himself again.

But at this moment, a calm voice came to his ears: “Fellow Daoist, please stay. I am Li Yan. I have just come to Tianmen and would like to ask you some questions.”

“Human monk?”

Gu Zhe’s heart moved, but his spiritual sense was not as far away as Li Yan’s, so he only sensed Li Yan’s direction, but did not find Li Yan’s figure at the first time.

However, as soon as Li Yan finished speaking, he clearly felt that the speed of the strong man from the Jin clan who was chasing him from behind had slowed down significantly.

Then he looked again with his spiritual sense and found that Li Yan was less than a million miles away from him.

The strong man from the Jin clan seemed to be frightened by Li Yan’s speed. After all, Li Yan’s speed was really terrifying, so he changed direction and fled quickly to the other end.
