Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 696 The Daoist Lord Moves His Thoughts, the Temple in the Sea of ​​Bitterness is Moved (Part Two)

[Control Requirements: Li Yuan]

【Control Effect:】
Tier 15: Demon Refining Pattern

"Fifteenth rank!"

Despite having high expectations for this Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword, Li Yuan still gasped when he saw its control effect, having underestimated his master's abilities.

[Demon Refining Pattern: Chaos as the foundation, void as the medium... The Demon Refining Sword has the ability to slay evil spirits and demons to strengthen itself. If refined into one's life essence, it can nourish the cultivator.]

"Refining Demonic Patterns".

Li Yuan focused his mind on sensing the Demon Refining Sword Embryo.

This sword embryo is of extremely high quality. As long as it is refined by demons and swordsmanship, its cultivation level can increase simultaneously. Theoretically, it can make rapid progress before reaching the fifteenth level!

The fifteen ranks in the Military Scroll correspond to the seventh realm of cultivators: the Reflecting Dao Realm!
The Dharma Realm is elevated to the Dharma Heaven, and the aura of the Dharma Heaven radiates to all realms, which is the Reflection of the Dao. In other words, it is the 'Divine Realm' that shines throughout all heavens and is revered by all realms!
"The Great Dao that leads directly to the Seventh Realm!"

Li Yuan's mind was in turmoil.

Although it is known that this is only the theoretical limit, and cultivators must undergo tribulation from the fifth realm onwards, the value of this sword embryo is still immeasurable.

"The Demon-Refining Sword..."

Li Yuan was momentarily stunned, then began to sense the message transmitted from the sword, which was left by Daoist Tianyu.

Nourishing the sword, forging the sword, and offering sacrifices to the sword.

The growth of the Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword requires three parallel approaches.

Nourishing a sword means using one's own magical power to nurture the sword embryo, while forging a sword involves slaying evil spirits and demons and absorbing all kinds of divine patterns into it. Only in this way can the sword embryo be forged into its full power.

As for sword offering...

"This sword requires a blood sacrifice to sharpen it each time it undergoes a transformation..."

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched.

The blood used for consecrating a sword is not just anyone's. The person who consecrates the sword must meet two conditions: first, they must be a ruthless and bloodthirsty individual.

Secondly, one's innate talent and inherent qualities must be top-tier among those of the same level.

"No wonder after Big Beard Yu killed that Nightmare Hydra, he shouted that his path was about to be completed. That Nightmare Hydra was undoubtedly top-tier among the five realms..."

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

"Therefore, the bearded man's Demon-Refining and Immortal-Slaying Sword should now be at the fourteenth rank. Thus, he should be in the Refining Law Heaven..."

"With his natural talent and foundation, and wielding the Demon-Refining and Immortal-Slaying Sword, he can easily overcome any tribulation he faces, as long as his luck isn't extremely bad."

"So, when Senior Brother Fufa said he had something to do, perhaps it was to refine a sword?"

After obtaining the Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword, many of Li Yuan's previous doubts were instantly cleared up.

"This sword is indeed extremely vicious."

Li Yuan could feel his dantian trembling slightly as the Demon Refining Sword Embryo absorbed mana to nourish itself, consuming nearly ten times more mana than the Nine Smoke Silk Sword.

He estimated.

At his current rate of cultivation, this sword has already accounted for nearly one-three-hundredth of his cultivation, meaning that every three hundred years, he will lose one year of cultivation.

It should be noted that this is the speed at which he cultivated after refining the Five Extremes Temple and nurturing the Chaotic Body, and this sword is only a weapon embryo!
"Ordinary cultivators simply cannot afford to nurture a spiritual treasure of this quality..."

Li Yuan's thoughts shifted slightly as he looked at the small banner. He had two spiritual treasures of this level.

【Great Luo Banner Embryo (Ninth Rank)】

[...The embryonic form of a spiritual treasure, forged by the Heavenly Dao Lord of the Great Luo Heaven with great divine power, is based on chaos and crafted from the void...a spiritual treasure to protect the Dharma and deities...]

This banner is extremely ominous and malevolent.

[Control Requirements: Li Yuan]

【Control Effect:】
Fifteenth Rank: Suppressing and Restricting Technique

[Suppressing Fortune and Restricting Technique: This technique suppresses the flow of fortune and isolates it from incantations and prohibitions. As long as the banner remains intact, the divine realm will be impervious to all magical attacks...]

Guardian Spirit Treasure!

Li Yuan's eyes brightened slightly as he focused his attention on sensing.

The Great Luo Banner is of extremely high quality, not only not inferior to the Demon Refining Immortal Sword, but even slightly surpassing it.

The information left on this banner by Daoist Tianyu is even more extensive, including not only the methods for nurturing and refining the banner, but also the direction for its cultivation.

"The ultimate in offense, creation and destruction combined!"

As Li Yuan combed through the information on the banner, he was slightly alarmed. This Great Luo Banner was not only a treasure for protecting the gods and the body, but also an extremely terrifying treasure for killing.

Of course, it also depends on how the cultivator refines it.

"This Great Luo Banner..."

With a slight thought, Li Yuan went to the Sutra Repository.

Upon learning that he wanted to borrow books about the Demon-Refining Sword and the Great Luo Banner, Shuhao was first startled, then immediately gasped in horror:

"You... the Dao Lord actually bestowed upon you the Great Luo Banner?!"

"how?"

Faced with Li Yuan's question, Shu Haoshou didn't even dare to answer. He just looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, and then went to fetch the various books he needed.

After that, he disappeared into the library without looking back, not even asking for any merit points.

"Five Swords for Demon Refining, Twelve Banners of the Great Luo!"

When Li Yuan's thoughts diverged and he perused the various books in his mind, he finally understood why the old man was so shocked.

Tianyu Daojun possesses three natal spiritual treasures.

They are 'Universal Auspicious Clouds', 'Demon Refining Sword', and 'Great Luo Banner'.

Of these three treasures, the Demon-Refining Sword has been passed down through generations. Although each generation consists of five people sharing five swords, it is still a legacy. Huanyu Qingyun has passed it down for many generations.

The Great Luo Banner, however, was never passed down.

There's no other reason than that the Great Luo Banner, also known as the Twelve Great Luo Banners, corresponds to the Twelve Mountains of the Great Luo Heaven!

"This is the mantle of inheritance..."

Li Yuan felt a tremor in his heart and only then realized what was happening.

The greatest gift he received this time was not the Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword, nor the two great scriptures or the Enlightenment Tea, but this Great Luo Banner!
'Besides the true title, Master has passed down everything he could...'

With this thought in mind, Li Yuan opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and bowed deeply towards the secluded bamboo forest.

……

Woo~
In the quiet bamboo house, the sea of ​​stars ripples, and streams of stars flow.

"Congratulations, young master, on finding such a fine disciple!"

Amidst the sea of ​​stars, the Bitter Sea Bell gently swayed, offering its loud congratulations.

He had followed Daoist Tianyu for so long that he knew his young master was in a very good mood.

"It's not easy for a Chaotic Body to achieve Dao; let's just hope he walks a safe path!"

With a flick of his finger, Daoist Tianyu unleashed a torrent of magical power, as vast as a galaxy, which descended upon the land.

Ku Hailing bowed and accepted it, smiling:

“Your disciple is a true seed of cultivation. Since entering the mountain, he has been diligently cultivating every day. Even when he caused some trouble in the Common Knowledge Sphere, he did so under an alias, which shows that he is an extremely reliable person.”

"Tian Shi Yuan?"

As Tianyu Daojun thought about it, he seemed to already know what Ku Hailing had said, and he was somewhat surprised:

"What a coincidence..."

"what?"

Ku Hailing was taken aback, unable to follow Daojun's train of thought: "You mean..."

"You big mouth, it's better that you don't know."

Tianyu Daojun glanced at him, knowing the nature of this bell, and said nothing more, but a slight ripple stirred in his heart.

Before the Patriarch entered meditation, he discussed with the Heavenly Lords the matter of re-establishing the Divine Dynasty. The Twelve Great Luo Dao Lords each received the decree and planned this important matter.

The realm he chose was one of the nine realms, including the Three Enclosures Realm and the Big Dipper Realm...

"Young master, you can't do this."

Seeing that Daojun was only halfway through speaking, Ku Hailing suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

"Go down the mountain."

Tianyu Daojun spoke.

Ku Hailing dared not say anything more and hurriedly bowed to listen to the Daoist's decree.

"In the past, when the Eight Directions Hermit perished, he used his great supernatural powers to create a Dao Treasure-level inheritance site, named the Eight Directions Temple. This temple was divided into eight parts, drifting among various realms, one of which is in the Heavenly Market Enclosure..."

Daoist Tianyu paused slightly and said:
"Go and move it!"

"what?"

Ku Hailing was startled: "This... the death of that Eight Directions Wanderer was due to a great karmic connection, and it's said to involve a Heavenly Lord... you, you..."

Ku Hailing has always enjoyed uncovering secrets, and naturally knows some of the secrets of the Eight Directions Temple.

The reason why that Dao treasure was able to wander through the various realms for so many years was partly due to its Dao treasure nature, but the biggest reason was the karma left behind by the Eight Directions Wanderer.

That concerns the karma of a lord of the heavens!

"What's wrong?"

Tianyu Daojun glanced at him, his voice calm and indifferent:
"For a Chaotic Body to attain the Dao, it must choose a celestial realm. Although I yearn for the 'Immortal Yang Great Realm,' if it harbors resentment, choosing the 'Limitless Heaven' is also acceptable!"

"Boom!"

As soon as he uttered those words, the starry sea churned, as if a murderous intent had suddenly descended upon the world, chilling the air like a cold current sweeping across the polar regions.

"Chi~"

At this moment, sword light rose in the sea of ​​stars, only to vanish as soon as it appeared, and the waves subsided.

Long live!
The bells of the Bitter Sea fell silent, as cold as a cicada in winter.

He vaguely sensed an extremely terrifying aura, but he could only pretend not to know it and nervously accept the order.

Even after leaving the bamboo gate, his mind was still unsettled. Seeing Ling Shu Tong Zi humming a little tune while playing with the knowledge ball, he immediately snorted coldly and grabbed the little monkey:
"The Daoist Lord has decreed that you must come down the mountain with me!"

……

Down the mountain!

On a magical boat woven from nine colors, Ling Shu Tong Zi was overjoyed. He stood on the deck, looking down at the deep and abyss-like Gui Xu.

Even though there wasn't much scenery to see, he still enjoyed it immensely.

Since being enlightened by the Daoist Master, he has only entered and exited Dongxuan Mountain a dozen times, so he is always very happy every time he comes down the mountain.

"It's bitter, it's bitter!"

Unlike Ling Shu Tong Zi, Ku Hai Ling was in a bad mood. Seeing him grinning foolishly, she couldn't help but extend a dark arm from the bell and punch him hard.

Ouch!

Ling Shu Tongzi plopped down on the ground, almost making a hole in Jiu Yanluo. He saw stars.

"Grandpa Kuhai, why did you hit me?"

"Humph~"

The Bitter Sea Bell, hanging at his waist, snorted coldly upon hearing this:
"What are you grinning about? Have you figured out how to do this job?"

"What's so difficult about this?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi rubbed his head: "I have already informed the Martial Immortal Sect, and I reckon they are already waiting for us outside the Eight Directions Temple."

The bell of the Bitter Sea remains silent.

Ling Shu Tong Zi hummed softly.

In Dongxuan Mountain, he was just a little boy, but in Tian Shi Yuan, even the masters of the five great grotto heavens had to call him "Immortal Boy"!

"Once you move that temple, they will find a way to relocate the stars and record them in the star chart..."

Ling Shu Tong Zi struck the Nine Smoke Silk, and nine-colored light flowed around, its speed suddenly increasing a thousandfold.

Although his Nine Smoke Garland was not yet fully developed, a single teleportation could cover nearly 270,000 li. In the real world of Star Sea, this speed would not be considered fast, but in the Netherworld.

Half a month is enough to cross half a realm.

……

boom!
In the surface of the dark realm, a giant ship swept across the sky, and wherever it passed, any strange beasts that dared to pounce were shattered into dust.

On the giant ship, banners fluttered, bearing the words 'Martial Immortal'.

Occasionally, a passerby who was exploring the area would see it, but would retreat from a distance and not dare to approach it even slightly.

"Elder Zhong, where are we headed?"

A robust young man asked curiously. His name was Zhao Tianxing, a true disciple of the Martial Immortal Sect. He was originally searching for a strange place when he was suddenly summoned by the elders and headed towards the edge of the Heavenly Market Enclosure.

"The sect leader didn't say much, he just told us to follow his orders."

Elder Zhong shook his head. He didn't know the specifics of the matter, but he knew that the sect leader was quite concerned about it. If he weren't preparing to undergo another tribulation, he probably would have come in person.

"so……"

Zhao Tianxing seemed to be deep in thought, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he sat down cross-legged, took out the Knowledge Sphere, and searched for information or something else, it was unclear.

"arrive!"

After a long while, Elder Zhong suddenly spoke, and many disciples of the Martial Immortal Sect on the warship stood up. They found that the surroundings were dark and deep, and even the light reflected by the gods seemed dim.

Clearly, we have arrived at the border between Tian Shi Yuan and other realms.

"This place..."

An aged-looking cultivator glanced at it, as if remembering something:
"This place seems to be where Phoenix and the others first discovered the traces of that evil god. Someone discovered that there is a life-bearing star here that is not recorded in the star charts..."

Zhao Tianxing glanced at him.

This old man was one of the heads of the Star Spectrum Pavilion, in charge of all the stars under the jurisdiction of the Martial Immortal Sect. He was a long-time 'shepherd' and held a very high position.

"and then?"

Elder Zhong stopped the warship and looked at the old man.

The old man, named Huang Ying, shook his head upon hearing this: "Quite a few people have gone to search for that life star, but none have found it..."

"It seems that this matter is related to this."

Elder Zhong had a guess; perhaps this was the reason why the sect leader had asked him to bring this person along.

But he didn't say much, he just waited quietly.

About half a day later, the group of Martial Immortal Sect cultivators looked up as if they had sensed something, and saw a nine-colored light sweeping across at an extremely fast speed, arriving on the warship in an instant.

Zhao Tianxing looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was a nine-colored cloud with a celestial boy in a magic robe standing on it, exuding an aura of authority.

"This is a cultivator at the peak of the fifth realm!"

Elder Zhong and the others were startled and immediately bowed, saying, "Greetings, Immortal Child!"

“You will all come with me.”

Ling Shu Tong Zi glanced indifferently at the Wu Xian Sect cultivators, flicked his sleeves, and stepped into the darkness.

The cultivators followed, only to find an invisible barrier before them. Upon entering, the divine light vanished instantly, leaving them in complete darkness.

"This is……"

Elder Zhong was startled and looked up.

Suddenly, a light rose from the boundless darkness, and an ancient temple slowly emerged, bringing with it an aura of desolation.

"Eight Directions Temple!"

All the cultivators exclaimed in surprise.

Among the five great grotto-heavens of Tian Shi Yuan, the Martial Immortal Sect is the most familiar with the Eight Directions Temple. Their current sect leader, Feng Qingcang, obtained great fortune in this great temple.

Only then could he cultivate to the peak of the Fifth Realm in over a thousand years and become the undisputed number one person in the Fifth Realm in Tian Shi Yuan!
"The Three Yangs Dao-Containing Formation?"

Ku Hailing sneered and transformed into human form, a burly and imposing man. He glanced at Ling Shu Tongzi:
"This formation is not easy to break, and it will cause a great disturbance. You go and protect that great star in the mortal world, while I go to this temple to take a look!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Ling Shu Tong Zi agreed, the Bitter Sea Bell disappeared from his sight.

"Come with me!"

With a thought, Ling Shu Tong Zi suddenly tore apart the black mist before him, revealing a corner of a life star. Immediately, everyone followed and entered it.

……

hum~
Ku Hailing transformed into the appearance of a burly man.

With just one step, he broke through the invisible barrier outside the Eight Directions Temple and arrived at the temple gate. He looked up and saw a Taoist priest with a tall hat and wide belt.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Dong Ershisan's gaze was deep and serious. The Eight Directions Temple behind him trembled violently as he felt immense pressure.

Unlike the Eight Directions Temple, which was divided into eight parts and has been wandering for too many years, resulting in its essential damage, the giant in front of us is a Dao treasure in its peak condition and of extremely high quality.

"Ancient Divine Power, a wondrous cosmic landscape enlightened by the Eight Directions Wanderer. In his lifetime, he had cultivated to the peak of the Dao Reflection Realm, but due to the demise of the Eight Directions Wanderer, the Dao Wanderer also perished, and he was later transformed into a puppet of the gate..."

The burly man from the Bitter Sea did some calculations and was quite surprised: "With your level of cultivation and background, you are actually willing to become a door-sitting puppet?"

"who are you?"

Dong Ershisan's pupils contracted. He also tried to calculate in secret, but all he felt was chaos. Even though the man was right in front of him, he couldn't figure anything out.

But he also had some suspicions.

The burly man before them not only possessed a Dao treasure of extremely high quality, but also had an even more terrifying master standing behind him…

"Won't you invite me in for a seat?"

The Bitter Sea Giant wasn't in a hurry to make a move; he was also quite curious about the Dao treasure left behind by the Eight Directions Hermit.

"..."

Dong Ershisan was on high alert. His mind raced, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally took a step back.
"please!"

……

Inside the bamboo house, Li Yuan sat for a whole day and night before finally sorting out all his findings.

The benefits of visiting one's master in his room are truly immense.

With the Enlightenment Tea, the two Great Scriptures, the two Natal Spiritual Treasures, and the Daoist Master's guidance... after sorting through all his gains, he felt that his foundation had been greatly strengthened.

"It's not the true teaching, but it's even better than the true teaching!"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Li Yuan couldn't help but stand up and bow again towards the direction of the secluded bamboo forest. He felt that his master's kindness was too great, and he would feel ashamed if he didn't bow to him.

"Om~"

Li Yuan took out the General Knowledge Sphere and found that the Friend Visiting interface had vibrated hundreds or even thousands of times.

He clicked on it and found that there were hundreds of friend requests. In addition, the visitor interface had an additional small interface called "Entering the Mysterious Chamber".

With a gentle tap, the light screen beneath his eyes intertwined into shadows, and various divine messages flew about, numbering in the hundreds or thousands.

"Group chat."

Li Yuan flipped through the divine messages left here.

A quick glance revealed a cacophony of congratulations. Most of the disciples who had entered his inner circle were congratulating him on his entry, with figures like Gu Xuansheng, Yuan Han, and Yu Huanzhen being particularly enthusiastic.

After thinking it over, Li Yuan carefully chose his words, thanked them one by one, and agreed to the applications of all his senior brothers.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Li, on entering the inner circle."

Yu Wangxian also sent her congratulations, and Li Yuan naturally thanked her without mentioning it.

After processing all the information, he discovered that many people had invited him to the banquet, including Yu Huanzhen, Qi Yun, Huang Yuan, and Yun Heguang.

He readily agreed to all offers.

"Second in the true lineage!"

Having communicated with the Great Luo Diagram, Li Yuan felt both joy and a sense of relief.

"It's time to deal with that catastrophe of the sun!"

Li Yuan's expression relaxed, feeling that the time was right, and he pondered which senior brother to ask for help.

"The best choice is still Senior Brother Qi Yun. He wants to establish a sect in the Three Realms, so he probably won't refuse a life star. This is also a good thing for Da Yun Star."

"Hmm... I'll rest a bit, then head to the banquet tomorrow!"

Having made up his mind, Li Yuan suddenly felt that his magical power was flowing more vividly, as if he had gotten rid of a big worry.

"Om~"

At this moment, the General Knowledge Sphere trembled again.

Li Yuan clicked on it casually.

"Li Yuan, guess where I am?"

The message was sent by Ling Shu Tong Zi.

Did he go down the mountain?

Li Yuan reacted quickly but also cooperated by asking, "Is it not in the secluded bamboo forest? Or is it at the entrance of my cave?"

"Ha ha!"

Ling Shu Tong Zi burst into laughter.

"Om~"

A burst of white light suddenly exploded, intertwining to form a life-sized shadow and light.

In the interplay of light and shadow, Ling Shu Tong Zi appears to be soaring through the clouds. Beneath him, the wind and clouds swirl, and one can vaguely see the rolling mountains and the mighty rivers.

"you……"

Li Yuan glanced at it casually, then suddenly stood up:

"Hengshan City?!"

With just one glance, Li Yuan saw the colossal city standing amidst the mountains.

"I didn't expect it?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi was quite satisfied with his shock. He happily raised his hand and squeezed, and the great city that was faintly visible among the mountains became clearly visible.

Through the light and shadow, Li Yuan could even see the crowds of pedestrians in the city, and even the gate of Longhu Temple.

"That was your previous sect? It was quite shabby..."

Ling Shu Tong Zi offered his blunt comments.

He chatted with Li Yuan almost every day and was quite knowledgeable about Dayun Star, Hengshan City, and Longhu Temple.

Of course, he didn't know that this was the latter's way of laying the groundwork before asking him for help in moving stars.

"You, how could you..."

Li Yuan was somewhat bewildered: "You... went to the Great Fortune Star? Wait, how can you use the Knowledge Sphere?"

"A mere Three Yangs Dao Formation."

Ling Shu Tong Zi chuckled: "The moment Grandpa Ku Hai entered, this formation was already incomplete. How could it still separate the inside from the outside?"

"You, you're really on the Great Fortune Star?"

Li Yuan was excited and couldn't help but zoom in on the light and shadow. He had excellent eyesight and could even see the small temple on Dragon Mountain and the small courtyard that he had personally built years ago, opposite the temple.

Now, my second brother's family lives there.

"if not?"

Ling Shu Tong Zi let out a strange laugh: "Should I cast a spell?"

"..."

Now, Li Yuan truly believed it: "Is it Master?"

"Of course it's for the young master, otherwise why would I have come down the mountain?"

Ling Shu Tongzi felt a pang of jealousy. The young master only needed to cultivate in his cave, while the poor boy had to run around outside doing all sorts of hard work.

Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but want to shed a handful of bitter tears for himself.

"Thank you Master!"

Li Yuan bowed deeply towards the tranquil bamboo forest, his gratitude overflowing.

Aren't you going to thank me?

Ling Shu Tong Zi stared wide-eyed.

"Thank you, Immortal Child, Li Yuan will remember this forever!"

Li Yuan's expression turned solemn, and he bowed deeply.

"Breaking this Three Yangs Dao-Containing Formation will cause a huge commotion. I must find a way to protect this life-giving star..."

Ling Shu Tong Zi muttered something, put away the Tongshi Ball, and disappeared into the clouds without any visible movement.

"A fairy child?"

The cultivators of the Martial Immortal Sect watched from afar, and without orders, they dared not follow.

"Wait!"

An order came from the sea of ​​clouds.

Ling Shu Tongzi arrived in Hengshan City in a flash, and with a glance, he saw the gate of Longhu Temple that Li Yuan had mentioned to him before.
