Chapter 283 Killing the True Immortal
“Then why don’t you follow me to Xiaoqian Mountain? The spiritual energy there is quite good, and there are few people around.”

When Gu Zhe heard Li Yan’s request, he immediately recommended a place for Li Yan.

The reason why he mentioned this place naturally had his own selfish motives.

His cave is near Xiaoqian Mountain.

This place is located on the edge of the Eastern Region, and most of the people here are practitioners who have no foundation in Tianmen.

If Li Yan is willing to go to Xiaoqian Mountain to open up a cave, it will be easier for him to establish a relationship with Li Yan in the future.

“Then let’s do as you say!”

Li Yan nodded. He was not picky about the environment for practicing.

What’s more, as Tianmen is a place close to the origin of the Heavenly Dao, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is far beyond what the lower realm can compare to.

Even if it’s just the spiritual energy in the wilderness, it’s enough for Li Yan to practice.

Gu Zhe was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately flew forward to lead the way for Li Yan.

Li Yan followed closely behind, and the two of them sped all the way.

It was three months later that we arrived at Xiaoqian Mountain.

Li Yan’s mind first scanned the area around Xiaoqian Mountain.

Just as Gu Zhe said, this place is sparsely populated and far away from human towns, with only some powerful wild beasts roaming around.

These wild beasts possess the aura of laws. Although they lack intelligence, they are born with the strength of refining emptiness, and each of them has extraordinary strength.

According to Gu Zhe, wild beads will condense in the bodies of these wild beasts.

The aura of laws contained in the wild pearl can help people comprehend the laws.

Li Yan was quite curious about this, so he personally killed a wild beast to get the pearl and find out the truth.

He felt the rich power of laws from the Wild Pearl.

While these wild beasts absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Tianmen realm, they also condense the power of the laws that coexist with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in their bodies.

Therefore, when wild beasts are born, they have at least one level of laws.

If it weren’t for their lack of wisdom, the wild beasts would surely become the most powerful race in Tianmen.

After all, except for the wild beasts, humans and other alien races do not have the ability to directly absorb the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

Just because the laws in Tianmen are obvious, it is easier to comprehend the laws.

“However, I can also absorb the power of the law directly!”

Li Yan showed a hint of smile.

The Taiyi Sword Canon that he practiced, after obtaining the charm contained in the nine stone tablets, can also directly absorb the power of the laws of heaven and earth into the body, thereby quickly increasing his own foundation in the laws.

He had already attempted this halfway.

Now his level of swordsmanship is very close to the ninth level.

According to his estimation, after about three more years of practice, he would be able to reach the ninth level of the sword-law level and officially enter the early stage of Mahayana.

“Once I have cultivated to the peak of Mahayana, I will be able to raise the level of the law to the peak of the ninth level…”

Li Yan’s eyes revealed a hint of sigh.

Before this, he had never thought about improving the level of his laws, but he could achieve it just by practicing hard.

What’s more, he also has the cultivation method of the True Immortal Realm, and can directly cultivate his law level to the tenth level.

This is much easier than traveling through all the realms.

“I really did come to the right place in this Taiyi Sword Realm!”

Li Yan was very satisfied.

He mobilized his true essence and used sword energy to open up a cave at a spiritual node in Xiaoqian Mountain and on the top of a mountain where the power of laws was abundant.

He also planted some of the magical herbs in the storage bag near the spiritual spring for viewing. He then placed a set of formations called the Nine Dragons True Fire Formation in the storage bag near the cave to prevent wild beasts from breaking in.

After explaining everything to Gu Zhe, he entered the cave and began to meditate.

Time flies and three years have passed.

On this day, above Xiaoqian Mountain, a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as well as the power of laws, gathered above Li Yan’s cave.

The huge fluctuation of spiritual energy immediately attracted Gu Zhe’s attention.

He has been recovering his strength in the cave these days and has not gone out.

It was not until Li Yan had made progress in his practice and caused strange phenomena that he was allowed to come out to check.

But after realizing that the place where the strange phenomenon was located was the cave opened up by Li Yan, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“Senior Li actually made a breakthrough so quickly?”

Gu Zhe was very surprised.

Although the cultivators who entered Tianmen from the lower realms, when they first arrived at Tianmen, Tianmen had a much better cultivation environment than the lower realms.

Therefore, cultivators who come from the lower world often make breakthroughs very quickly.

But isn’t Li Yan’s speed too fast?
Moreover, Gu Zhe knew clearly that Li Yan had reached the realm of true immortality and his own realm was already extremely high, so it would be extremely difficult for him to make a breakthrough.

“It seems that Senior Li’s cultivation talent is truly terrifying!”

“But think about it, if you don’t have an outstanding talent for cultivation, how could you have cultivated to the realm of True Immortal in the lower realm?”

Gu Zhe looked towards the direction of Li Yan’s cave, his eyes full of admiration.

“I just don’t know what kind of skills Senior Li practiced. His breakthrough in realm actually triggered the gathering of the power of laws. It doesn’t look like a breakthrough by a human cultivator, but more like a wild beast!”

In Gu Zhe’s impression, only when the wild beast breaks through will the power of the law be gathered.

The power of the laws gathered above Li Yan’s cave is already comparable to the scene of a ninth-level wild beast breaking through.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhe’s heart suddenly moved.

Although Xiaoqian Mountain is far away from human towns, it is in the Eastern Region after all.

In such a place, the sudden appearance of such a strange phenomenon that resembles the breakthrough of a ninth-level wild beast would definitely attract the attention of the human race powerhouses in the Eastern Region.

Although the ninth-level wild beasts have no intelligence, their strength is comparable to that of practitioners in the True Immortal realm.

Therefore, the strong people of the human race will definitely send people to check it out.

Wouldn’t it be bad if Li Yan’s breakthrough was disturbed?

When Gu Zhe thought of this, his heart trembled and he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to practice in the cave.

He immediately flew away and went to Li Yan’s cave, wanting to protect Li Yan.

……

“Is there a ninth-level wild beast breaking through in that direction?!”

Just as Gu Zhe had expected, the strange phenomenon caused by Li Yan’s breakthrough was regarded by the practitioners in the Eastern Region as a ninth-level wild beast breaking through.

“There are actually wild beasts of this rank in my Eastern Region!?”

Many monks were extremely surprised and immediately reported the news to higher authorities.

A wild beast of this level and the wild pearl in its body.

Even for cultivators in the True Immortal Realm, it can help accelerate their comprehension of the laws of swordsmanship, so you can imagine how precious it is.

Moreover, the wild beasts lack intelligence. Although they have a high level of laws, they cannot be considered powerful.

Now that this ninth-level wild beast has appeared in the Eastern Territory, if one kills the beast and takes the pearl, one will surely make a fortune.

Because of this, many cultivators flew quickly towards Xiaoqian Mountain.

In their eyes, this wild beast was on the way to a breakthrough. If they could interrupt its breakthrough, it would certainly be easier to deal with it.

……

Li Yan was still unaware at the moment, because the commotion caused by his breakthrough caused many cultivators to treat him as a wild beast.

At this moment, he was following the tricks of the technique, absorbing the power of external laws, and advancing his sword laws to the ninth level.

And with his promotion.

The new sword laws that were born in his natal flying sword, Mo Yuan Sword, as a result of absorbing the spirit of the stone tablet, were also devouring the power of the laws nearby.

This newly born sword law was rapidly condensing. And Li Yan felt that this new sword law only needed to be initially condensed to compete with the original ninth-level sword killing law in Mo Yuan Sword.

Li Yan closed his eyes and meditated, practicing his skills. The aura of sword principles on his body was moving towards the ninth level.

On the other side, many Mahayana monks have arrived at Xiaoqian Mountain.

Also accompanying them were some local Hedao sword practitioners.

But now they have all been stopped by Gu Ze.

“Please stop, fellow Taoists.”

After Gu Zhe stopped the man, he bowed to the dozen or so Mahayana monks.

“What does this mean, fellow Taoist?”

One of the dozen or so Mahayana cultivators raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Gu Zhe, “Do you want to monopolize the desolate pearl in the body of this desolate beast?”

“But I’m afraid your strength alone is far from enough! I think you should join us and kill the beast and get the pearl together!”

Although these Mahayana monks are numerous, they are still in the Mahayana realm after all.

So I’m thinking of getting more people involved.

After hearing what Gu Zhe said, he thought that Gu Zhe wanted to take the Huangzhu for himself, so he started to win Gu Zhe over.

Gu Zhe smiled when he heard this and said, “My fellow Taoists, it’s not some wild beast that’s breaking through in Xiaoqian Mountain, but a senior in the realm of True Immortal.”

“So fellow Taoists, please leave! Don’t disturb the True Immortal Realm senior from breaking through.”

Gu Zhe’s tone was sincere, but what he said was not recognized by these monks.

Now, due to the gathering of the power of the laws, Xiaoqian Mountain is isolated from the detection of divine thoughts.

No one can find out what’s going on inside unless they go there in person.

Who knows if Gu Zhe lied to them because of this.

Therefore, they believed more that Gu Zhe wanted to take the Huangzhu for himself, and their tone began to become unfriendly.

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t lie to us. If you are really a True Immortal Senior, why would you be in Xiaoqian Mountain?”

“This is just a remote place. How could a True Immortal Realm senior come here to practice? The Immortal City is more than ten times stronger than this place!”

“If you don’t get out of the way, don’t blame me for taking action!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhe hurriedly said, “Wait a minute, fellow Taoist!”

“The senior from the True Immortal Realm in Xiaoqian Mountain has just arrived at Tianmen not long ago. Because he doesn’t mind the hustle and bustle, he didn’t choose to settle in the Immortal City.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can wait here. When that senior comes out of retreat, we will go and pay our respects to him together.”

After hearing Gu Zhe’s words, these monks looked thoughtful.

However, one person still did not believe it and said in a cold voice: “Who knows if you have already contacted a True Immortal Realm cultivator and want to delay us here and wait for the True Immortal Realm cultivator to come and attack the wild beast.”

“Within the Eastern Region, the Five Great Immortal Lords are in charge. Even the seniors in the True Immortal Realm must be polite in everything they do.”

“Since we came here first, as long as we can kill the wild beast, the wild pearl will belong to us.”

“If you try to stop us again, don’t blame us for being rude!”

As soon as this person finished speaking, the other Mahayana cultivators looked at Gu Zhe with a hint of distrust in their eyes.

Just at this moment, a loud laugh was heard in the air: “Haha, you are already too late, you’d better retreat as soon as possible, otherwise I will accidentally hurt you when fighting with the wild beast!”

A young man in red clothes with a red veil between his eyebrows came from afar, turning into a rainbow, followed by a flaming red sword.

“Meet the Immortal Red Flame!”

When the Mahayana monks saw this person, a trace of awe appeared in their eyes and they all bowed to him.

This is a True Immortal who has been famous in the Eastern Region for a long time. I didn’t expect him to arrive so quickly.

They all looked at Gu Zhe with secret hatred, thinking that it was the True Immortal Chiyan that Gu Zhe had contacted, and he was trying to stop them from going in and killing the wild beast.

When Gu Zhe faced the True Immortal Chiyan, his heart skipped a beat. He had not expected that he would attract this powerful True Immortal.

“Senior Chi Yan, there is a True Immortal senior cultivating in Xiaoqian Mountain. Please do not disturb that True Immortal senior’s breakthrough.”

Immortal Chiyan raised his eyebrows slightly.

As soon as he thought of it, a fiery red sword energy flew directly towards Gu Zhe!

A powerful True Immortal Realm expert suddenly attacked. Although Gu Zhe barely reacted and urged his flying sword to resist.

But how could he resist?

Gu Zhe’s natal flying sword was damaged immediately and lost its spiritual power. He was also hit back and spat out blood.

Immortal Chiyan looked at Gu Zhe with cold eyes and said slowly: “It’s ok for you to deceive other cultivators, but you dare to lie to me?”

“This time I’m only teaching you a lesson!”

Immortal Chiyan snorted coldly.

If there were not five great immortal kings in the Eastern Region who would not allow humans to kill each other without reason, he would have killed Gu Zhe on the spot.

When the other Mahayana monks saw Gu Zhe injured, an expression of gloating immediately appeared in their eyes.

Taking this opportunity, True Immortal Chiyan flew directly towards Xiaoqian Mountain.

At the same time, he urged the flying sword to chop at the vortex of spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of laws in the sky, preparing to interrupt Li Yan’s breakthrough.

Gu Zhe had no time to stop him. Immortal Chiyan gathered tens of thousands of sword energies and flew out, directly blasting away the vortex of spiritual energy and laws above Xiaoqian Mountain!
There was a hint of joy in True Immortal Chi Yan’s eyes. If the promotion of the ninth-rank wild beast was interrupted, the ninth-rank wild beast would certainly suffer backlash.

Next time, it will be easier for him to kill the beast and obtain the elixir.

With the ninth-level wild pearl in his hand, he might be able to break through the early stage of True Immortal and reach the middle stage of True Immortal.

“This time, I got it first!”

Immortal Chiyan was very proud, and the red flying sword behind him suddenly flew out, ready to chop towards the source of absorbing spiritual energy and power of laws below.

But at this moment, a dull voice came from the bottom of Xiaoqian Mountain.

“Who is stopping me from practicing?”

There was a hint of astonishment in True Immortal Chiyan’s eyes. How could a wild beast possibly speak?
Could it be that the person below is actually a true immortal practicing?
But at this moment, an ink-black flying sword suddenly shot out from below, and at the same time, the entire sky within a million miles was suddenly covered by a blood-red light.

“cut!”

On top of the inky flying sword, a black light containing a breath of destruction was attached to it.

From bottom to top, he headed towards the flying sword of True Immortal Chi Yan.

There was a hint of anger in Li Yan’s heart.

Although for him, being interrupted in his breakthrough was not a big deal, after all, he did not have any bottleneck and could just continue practicing.

But when he expanded his spiritual sense, he found that Gu Zhe was injured.

Moreover, the person who attacked him was immediately attacking him, and a strong murderous intent immediately emerged in his heart!
Even though the person in front of him was a True Immortal who had cultivated the sword art to the ninth level, how could he be afraid?

He immediately used all his strength to activate the ninth-order sword-killing law in the Mo Yuan Sword and slashed towards the True Immortal.

The flying sword of the True Immortal Chi Yan and the laws attached to the flying sword are the killing laws of Li Yan’s swordsmanship.

And the power of annihilation formed by the countless sword principles he practiced.

With just one sword, he directly cut off the magic sword of True Immortal Chi Yan, and in the next moment it had penetrated True Immortal Chi Yan’s body.

“The Law of Killing!”

Immortal Chiyan felt that his immortal body was being eroded by the law of killing and a force of annihilation, and his heart was filled with fear.

There are also differences in levels among laws.

The law of killing is one of the strongest laws in the way of the sword.

Although the sword principles he cultivated were also at the initial stage of the ninth level, he was completely unable to resist the principles of killing.

Moreover, in addition to the law of killing, Li Yan’s Mo Yuan Sword itself is also extraordinary, and it is also attached with the power of annihilation.

Being pierced by such a sword, even if his body had already transformed into an immortal body, he could only watch his life slip away.

A moment later, the True Immortal Red Flame died completely.

The monks who were watching the show from a distance were all filled with astonishment.
