Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 704 Battle Against the Five Dragon Immortals Again, Qi Yun Descends the Mountain (Part 2)

The monk was overjoyed.

This junior brother's progress was much faster than he had anticipated.

"Senior brother is so complimentary."

Li Yuan did not feign modesty, but instead cupped his hands in gratitude: "I must thank you, Senior Brother, for passing on the method of refining demons."

His current progress is inseparable from the method of refining demons. Without the sustenance of thousands of demons, neither the Mysterious Vine Serpent nor the Nine True Forms could have grown so rapidly.

"The method of demon refining is merely a minor aid."

Fufa Daoren waved his hand, not taking credit, and said back to the Sword God's Tomb: "Every time the Sword God's Tomb is opened, it attracts many fellow disciples. Even if you don't go in, you can still come and join in the fun."

"it is good."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement. He had originally planned to use the Sword God's Tomb to contact his senior brothers from previous generations in order to obtain the corresponding artifacts to control the Five Great Scriptures.

Of course, he was also very interested in the great scripture that the Floating Buddha had promised.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Master Fufa frowned, then relaxed: "Junior brother, we'll talk later. A few more demons are catching up..."

"Senior brother, please be very careful."

Li Yuan dared not disturb him.

The Taoist priest then tossed over a book titled 'Detailed Explanation of the Tomb of the Sword God' before shutting down the light screen.

"Detailed Explanation of the Tomb of the Sword God"

Li Yuanwei focused his mind, accepted the book, and studied it in detail.

Sword God's Tomb belongs to the category of the Void of Desolation.

The so-called forbidden lands are either born from the Ruins of the Ancient World or left behind by fallen powerful beings. They contain creations that even the gods covet, yet cannot be easily obtained due to the nature of the forbidden lands themselves.

The Sword God's Tomb belongs to the latter category. It was formed from the bodies of two Dao Lord-level sword masters who perished in an ultimate battle, and it is shrouded in the divine power of True Lord-level swordsmanship year-round.

Because the two Dao Lords were engaged in a fierce battle before their deaths, any cultivator who approached beyond the limit would immediately be killed by the two Dao Lords.

Therefore, cultivators at the fourth realm or above cannot get close at all.

"In other words, at most only cultivators at the third realm can enter..."

Li Yuan read through the pages word by word.

The booklet also contained information gathered by the Daoist Fufa, mostly from cultivators who had entered the Sword God's Tomb. He frankly stated that the information contained both truth and falsehood and needed to be carefully distinguished.

In addition, there are all sorts of wonders contained within the Tomb of the Sword God.

There are countless spells, supernatural powers, divine runes, flying swords, spiritual treasures, and spirit beasts. In addition, there are the Daoist temples of two Dao Lords, and even Dao Fruits!
"A forbidden land containing the wealth of two Dao Lords..."

While flipping through the booklet, Li Yuan occasionally saw treasures that particularly appealed to him.

If only cultivators below the fourth realm are allowed to enter, and a large number of cultivators have returned from exploring, it means that this forbidden area is not too dangerous for low-level cultivators.

"The gathering outside the Sword God's Tomb is a must-attend event, as for whether or not to go inside..."

Li Yuan had already made up his mind.

Enter!
Once the Shadow Demon returns, send it ahead to scout the way!
As for myself...

"With my talents and the Dongxuan Mountain to rely on, the most correct path of cultivation is for my main body to meditate in seclusion while my second primordial spirit explores the outer realms!"

Li Yuan restrained his desires. He had a clear plan for himself, and in that plan, safety was the top priority.

Only by living can we have a future!
With this thought, Li Yuan's inner turmoil vanished. He continued studying the detailed explanation of the Sword God's Tomb, but his mind was now calm. He simply kept in mind all the potential dangers he might encounter.

The Shadow Demon's life is also a life!
"Whoo~"

After a long while, having memorized everything in the booklet, Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he suddenly remembered the noble person inside the coffin of the god's burial:

"Nine eras ago, the Origin God Dynasty was still at its peak. Logically, they should have explored the Sword God's Tomb, right?"

……

hum~
With a thought, Li Yuan entered the space where he controlled the troops.

The giant bronze coffin remains behind the platform where the stone platform was built, and its position has not been moved despite repeated expansions of the platform.

The moment Li Yuan saw the giant coffin, the information about this Dao treasure surged into his eyes.

[Conditions for Controlling: Chaotic Sacred Body, Origin Divine Embryo, Sacred Ultimate Dharma Form]

"Theoretically, as long as I can forge a Golden Core at the Ninth Heaven level, I will have satisfied two of these three conditions for control. As for the Origin Divine Embryo..."

The library contained countless miscellaneous books and biographies, and Li Yuan read them almost every day. Naturally, among them was the Origin Divine Dynasty, a colossal entity that ruled over all the heavens and myriad realms.

There are also accounts of this divine embryo of origin.

The Origin Gods are an extremely terrifying race; even the birth of an ordinary member of their race often consumes the life force of a life-giving star.

The Origin Divine Embryo is said to be born only once per century, and is said to possess the potential to become a God Emperor!

"The potential of a God Emperor."

Li Yuan's thoughts were subtle.

He was almost certain that the Five Dragon Immortal, who was buried in the past by the Five Dragon Venerable God King, was an Origin God Embryo!
"Therefore, talent is not everything."

Li Yuan muttered to himself, "This noble person who needs a 'substitute' to break the coffin is clearly not a person with a firm Dao heart."

However, he also expressed his understanding of this.

The princess of the divine dynasty, a divine child of the utmost nobility, encountered the collapse of the divine dynasty and the destruction of the divine city before she had even grown up. It is understandable that her temperament was affected.

After all, he couldn't even imagine how terrifying the powerful figures who could participate in the war to destroy the divine dynasty were.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yuan bowed respectfully.
"Junior Li Yuan requests an audience with Senior."

……

Woohoo~
Inside the giant bronze coffin, the Five Dragon Immortals slept like infants, occasionally revealing slight pain, and even shedding tears.

The bronze coffin spirit watched silently, just as it had been buried in the passage of time each day.

"here we go again!"

Hearing the fluctuations outside the coffin, the bronze coffin spirit snorted coldly. To prevent it from disturbing the Five Dragon Immortals, it summoned the spirit into the coffin with a thought.

"What? You've joined the Weitian Dao Sect?"

Eight or nine years is but a blink of an eye for the bronze coffin spirit. It finds this kid incredibly annoying, always coming after getting benefits, and it's determined to give him a good scolding.

"I must thank you for your guidance, senior."

Li Yuan was also not too keen on dealing with this coffin spirit. He had already realized that the one who initially helped him refine the Common Knowledge Orb was the Five Dragon Immortal, and the one after that was the Divine Burial Coffin Spirit.

"You're quite lucky."

The bronze coffin spirit then looked at him properly: "Divine and demonic talent, you joined the Weitian Dao Sect... Huh? Your physique?"

"The Chaos Sacred Body?!"

Call ~
Li Yuan felt the darkness churning before him, and an extremely terrifying divine thought swept over him. Although it was only for a moment, it made his thoughts seem to freeze.

"You're actually a Chaos Being?"

The bronze coffin spirit was quite shocked, even for it, the Chaos Saint Body was one of the most outstanding physiques below the Origin God Embryo.

If one can reverse their innate nature, they might be able to rival the Origin Divine Embryo!

"senior……"

Li Yuan carefully considered his words, but before he could speak, he felt the light and shadows around him shift. In an instant, everything before him was brightly lit.

They were suddenly thrown into the Divine Burial Secret Realm.

"Ask me anything after you've finished the fight!"

The spirit of the bronze coffin uttered these words, but then remained silent.

"..."

Looking around, Li Yuan saw blue skies, white clouds, and rolling mountains—a beautiful sight.

In fact, ever since his last failed attempt, the coffin spirit had been reluctant to let him into this secret realm, so much so that he felt a bit nostalgic as he entered this time.

Three hundred miles away lies Mingquan, the ancient city where he had previously lived for a long time.

Not far away, the palace shrouded in clouds and mist is the residence of the Five Dragon Immortals, and also the first of the six trials of the Divine Burial Secret Realm.

"Those Five Dragon Immortals possess the Origin Divine Embryo, and their cultivation level is at least the fourth realm, or even the fifth realm. Even I, in my current state, would definitely not be their match..."

Recalling the crushing defeat of the last battle, Li Yuan disliked such pointless fights, but the bronze coffin spirit clearly wanted him to fight one.

"Fine, I still have 9999 chances. I'll just die once if I have to."

Li Yuan calmed himself down and walked toward the main hall.

In fact, he had high expectations for the Divine Burial Coffin Secret Realm, but there was really nothing to gain from the first level on the surface, and he was no match for the Five Dragon Immortals.

Otherwise, he would come more often than anyone else.

……

"Chaotic Sacred Body!"

In the darkness, the spirit of the bronze coffin sensed something, turned around, and saw the Five Dragon Immortals open their eyes. It hurriedly said:
"My Lord Immortal, that brat wants to enter the palace and challenge you!"

"Ok?"

The Five Dragon Immortals' drowsiness vanished instantly, and their eyes sharpened.
"I told you, that's not me!"

"Yes, yes, that's just how Your Excellency sees you, not the real you..."

The bronze coffin spirit followed her words, inwardly grumbling, "If it really is you, I'm afraid you'll be defeated by this human brat."

That would be a huge disgrace to the Origin Gods.

Thinking this to itself, it cautiously flicked its finger, and a screen of light appeared:

"My Lord Immortal, in the short time you were dozing off, this lad not only cultivated to the third realm, but also nurtured the Chaos Sacred Body. His progress is truly astonishing..."

"what?"

Wulongxian was taken aback, then looked at the light screen.

……

"Who are you?!"

Li Yuan had only taken a few steps when a series of figures leaped in from outside the palace, their auras sharp and menacing.

Years ago, these palace guards had humiliated him, but now, with a flick of his finger, a single drop of Xuan Gang Heavy Water had killed all the guards across three hundred miles.

These guards were merely recruited from Chonghua Star by the Five Dragon Immortals when they fled to avoid suspicion.

"Whoo~"

In just one step, Li Yuan had already arrived at the palace.

Outside the main hall, he subconsciously glanced at the large lake, but the fisherman in a straw raincoat, who was suspected to be the incarnation of the God-King, was no longer by the lake. The palace gate in front of him slowly opened.

"Om~"

An invisible aura emanated from the palace, and even a wisp of it sent a chill down Li Yuan's spine.

Back then, he was just an ignorant cultivator at the first level, unaware of what this meant, but now things are different.

"Nine Realms Golden Elixir!"

Li Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Nine strands of golden essence are formed, which can be used to forge a first-grade golden elixir. The golden elixir inherits the scenery, and the nine-scene golden elixir is the pinnacle of the four realms, and is already qualified to nurture a first-grade Dharma realm!

"senior!"

After a moment's thought, Li Yuan felt speechless. Regardless of whether he responded or not, he said loudly:

"This junior has not yet reached the perfection of the third realm. Even with extraordinary abilities, how can I possibly match the peak of the fourth realm? If you are willing to undergo a trial, then why not have a battle between the three realms?"

Within the Heavenly Market Enclosure, there are indeed cultivators who have defied the odds and defeated those at the fourth level, but such feats are usually achieved by extraordinary geniuses like Lin Yue, who can defeat ordinary cultivators at the fourth level, and such instances are rare.

But who is inside this hall?

A princess of the Origin God Dynasty, suspected to be the Origin Divine Embryo, who refined the Nine Realms Golden Elixir!

"..."

The voice from within the light screen naturally reverberated into the ancient coffin. The bronze coffin spirit subconsciously glanced at its master, and the Five Dragon Immortal nodded slightly.
"He's right."

"..."

After a brief silence, the spirit of the bronze coffin shook its head repeatedly: "No, no, this is the will of the Venerable One, no one can change it, and I can't change it either!" "This human boy is progressing extremely fast. If you take a few more naps, he might already be at the peak of the fourth realm..."

The spirit of the bronze coffin tried its best to persuade him, fearing that this little ancestor would make things difficult for him.

"This secret realm, along with the six prodigies within, was left behind by my great-uncle to hone my skills. Since I was at the peak of the fourth realm when I was buried, it is also at the peak of the fourth realm..."

Wulongxian suddenly spoke, exhaling softly.

"you?!"

The spirit in the bronze coffin was startled.

What the Five Dragon Immortals exhaled was not air, but streams of light, within which divine patterns flowed and intertwined to form a beautiful scene.

This is the scene of the Golden Elixir!

"Whoo~"

The Five Dragon Immortals spat out all nine stages of their Golden Core, and their aura suddenly plummeted to the bottom: "I am in the third realm, and the 'me' in the secret realm should also fall back to the third realm!"

"You...you have already grasped the wonders of the divine embryo?"

Upon seeing this, the spirit of the bronze coffin was not alarmed but delighted. All laws and scenes reside in one's mind; this is the wondrous function of the innate divine embryo.

"Try to understand some of it."

Wu Longxian didn't say much, he just looked at the light screen.

Before the palace, Li Yuan did not receive a response, but his senses were so sharp that he had already caught the instant the energy within the palace changed.

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Yuan bowed deeply and then walked towards the main hall.

He didn't even want to fight the Five Dragon Immortals at the peak of the fourth realm, but he really wanted to test the strength of this Origin Princess at the peak of the third realm!

……

in the hall.

Twelve colossal dragon pillars rose from the ground, supporting a vast starscape. The surrounding space stretched infinitely, seemingly even larger than the Chonghua Star outside.

In the center of the main hall, the Five Dragon Immortals, dressed in white, sat cross-legged, their long hair cascading down their shoulders, exuding a cool and otherworldly aura.

How could a person grow up like this...?

Even though it was the second time Li Yuan had seen the Five Dragon Immortals, he still couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This woman was simply too perfect; he couldn't even describe her in words. He felt his heart beat faster involuntarily, and his fighting spirit diminished considerably.

Fortunately, Master Li was calm and composed. When he sensed something was wrong, he immediately put his mind at ease, but he also unconsciously looked away and stopped looking directly at her.

"The Chaotic Body!"

The five immortals in white robes rose to their feet, and the entire Starry Sky Palace seemed to suddenly light up.

Li Yuan even saw various strange sights reflected in the starry sky. This person's Dao body was far more terrifying than he had imagined, and even gave him a sense of the origin of all laws.

"I possess ninety-nine superior-grade divine runes and nine top-grade divine runes..."

The white-robed Five Dragon Immortals slowly reached out, their jade-like fingers gently pinching together, and countless starlight gathered in their palms. With a gentle push, they...
A beam of light, embodying the essence of the stars, burst forth:

"Defeat me!"

Boom!

Li Yuan heard the sound of stars exploding.

Like an ancient and massive planet, it burst forth with all its brilliance and power in an instant.

Origin of divine light!

Suddenly, such a thought popped into Li Yuan's mind. He urged the Tianpeng to use its escape technique and traveled thousands of miles in the starry sky. When he looked up, he found that he was still under the divine light!

It was as if the void itself was frozen in place by that divine light, unable to move at all.

"Om~"

Without any hesitation, Li Yuan released the Mud Pill Wonder, and the Mysterious Vine Tree rose from the ground, its branches spreading out as if to block out the starlight.

Mysterious Vine Tree Demon!

Li Yuan immediately activated his strongest technique, with thousands of long vines intertwining and transforming into a thousand-foot-tall tree demon, holding a giant shield to protect himself.

"boom!"

In the next instant, the tree demon and the giant shield were pierced through in one go, and the shadow of the Xuan Teng tree behind Li Yuan also dissipated, turning into countless points of light, which were held in the palm of a fair hand.

"puff!"

In the distant void, Li Yuan staggered out, and in an instant, the Xuan Teng disintegrated, which was equivalent to losing his life!

"Om~"

He looked up and saw that behind the white-robed Five Dragon Immortals, layers of light halos rose up, and countless wonders intertwined, transforming into a divine city that seemed to contain boundless Daoist mysteries.

The city of origin!

The divine city was majestic and possessed the power to suppress the universe. When its shadow first appeared, Li Yuan felt his body and mind sink, as if his magic power could not function properly. The Xuan You protective shield that he activated disintegrated with a 'bang'.

"The origin of all laws lies in the divine city!"

The white-robed Five Dragon Immortals gently raised their hands, and the point of light they held in their palms drifted away and fell behind them.

Immediately, beams of light burst forth from within the divine city.

To Li Yuan's astonishment, in a corner of the divine city, a giant tree rose from the ground, lush and verdant, and was none other than a Xuan Teng tree!

"Om~"

The Five Immortals in White Robes pointed with their fingers.

The divine city trembled slightly, and then a thousand-foot-tall tree demon stepped out from it, holding a giant shield and letting out a deafening roar.

“…Is this even possible?”

Behind Li Yuan, the mysterious vines reappeared, thousands of vines transforming into tree armor that protected his body. He leaped into the air, and his long-handled heavy hammer instantly spread for thousands of miles.

It struck the Five Dragon Immortals with a heavy blow.

"Bang~"

The tree demon, shield in hand, withstood the heavy hammer, then roared and leaped out at incredible speed, bearing clear traces of the Heavenly Roc Escape Technique and the Five Elements Escape Technique!

"What kind of Dao body is this?"

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched violently as he suddenly thought of Lin Yue and Wu Yunlong.

'Is this what it feels like to have your Dao body crushed?'

"boom!"

Li Yuan leaped up. Although he was shocked by the Five Dragon Immortals' divine powers, he did not believe that this tree demon could compete with him in martial arts!

As he expected, the tree demon, though possessing various magical powers, lacked his martial arts support.

"Bang~"

In less than thirty moves, Li Yuan smashed the tree demon to pieces with a single hammer blow, and then charged towards the Five Dragon Immortals.

"Come again!"

The white-robed Five Dragon Immortals had bright eyes. They then flicked their fingers, and the divine city behind them roared as another tree demon charged out.

"?!"

After failing to strike, Li Yuan was somewhat alarmed. This tree demon was actually growing stronger in the process of fighting him.

"Come again!"

Wulong Xian flicked his finger again, and the divine city behind him roared as another Xuan Teng tree rose from the ground.

Then, to Li Yuan's horrified gaze, one plant after another...

He had just killed the second tree demon with his hammer when hundreds of similar tree demons emerged from the divine city, some carrying shields, some wielding hammers, some bare-handed, and some carrying longswords.

"..."

……

He lost!

In the darkness, the bronze coffin spirit broke the silence, looking at Li Yuan who had vanished in the light screen, a faint sense of dread creeping into its heart.

Are those the Five Dragon Immortals inside the palace?

Yes and no!
It was buried by the Five Dragon Lords themselves in the annals of time, and they knew even more about the Lord's purpose in creating this Divine Burial Secret Realm, the Six Heavens!

He transformed the shadows of five powerful individuals with the potential to become God Emperors into the secret realm, hoping that one day the Five Dragon Immortals could break through the God Burial Coffin and prove themselves as God Emperors!
The Five Dragon Immortals in this first challenge possess the bloodline, supernatural powers, and techniques of the Five Dragon Immortals, but their unique fighting spirit comes from the Five Dragon Venerables!
"...I'm going to sleep for a while."

Wu Longxian closed his eyes, not wanting to speak at all.

……

"puff!"

Inside the bamboo house, the burning incense was extinguished by the air currents. Li Yuan opened his eyes and was surprised to find that his forehead was covered in sweat and his back was actually soaked.

"Is this okay?!"

Recalling the scene of being hammered to death by hundreds of tree demons, Li Yuan felt it was utterly absurd.

Regardless of how the Five Dragon Immortals replicated their Mystic Vine Tree Demon Body, the fact that they could activate over a hundred of them in one go is simply too exaggerated.

How powerful must that be?
"This is the third realm?!"

Li Yuan was stunned for a long time before he could suppress his turbulent emotions.

After defeating Lin Yue, Wu Yunlong, and Huang Yuan in succession, he thought that even if he wasn't invincible in the three realms, he was still among the top tier.

result……

"The Origin Divine Embryo?"

"No, it's not just the Origin Divine Embryo, but also that divine light, and the Origin Divine City..."

Li Yuan focused his mind on reviewing the battle just now. After a detailed analysis, he realized that he had underestimated this Princess of Origin.

"An exceptional Dao body, the true form of the Origin Divine City, and perfectly compatible divine abilities... and her magical power..."

"Definitely not top-grade!"

Recalling the magical fluctuations emanating from the Five Dragon Immortals, Li Yuan's expression turned solemn.

That was a combination of magical power. In terms of grade, even if he combined three high-grade and seven mid-grade magical powers, it would still be inferior!
"Top-grade magic power?"

Li Yuan frowned.

Magical power is only divided into superior, middle, and inferior levels, but he believed that the magical power of the Five Dragon Immortals was no longer in the superior category.

"If we combine the powers of the Five Emperors into one, can we rival her 'Origin Power' in terms of rank?"

After a long period of turmoil, Li Yuan's eyes gradually brightened.

"Next, I will use this Five Dragon Immortal as a mirror. If I can defeat her head-on, then my foundation in the Three Realms will be truly perfect!"

Upon realizing this, Li Yuan felt no sense of defeat, only a surge of fighting spirit, seeing yet another guiding light after his senior brother Huang Yuan.

……

He resolved to use the Five Dragon Immortals as a mirror to hone his own foundation.

For the next few days, Li Yuan did not challenge her again, but instead began to challenge Kizaru again, but without activating the 'Prison Suppression Technique', and began to hone his skills once more.

Even if he had no chance of winning in the hundreds of battles that followed, he was still happy to accept it.

Thus, Li Yuan practiced cultivation techniques, body refinement, and demonic refinement during the day, and at night he visualized the True Form Diagram, challenged Kizaru, and honed his combat skills and his chaotic body.

A few days later, Li Yuan made some slight progress. He mastered the eighth mid-grade magic power, the Zhulong magic power, which combines the transformation of Yin and Yang.

"Om~"

Feeling the various magical powers flowing and intertwining within his body, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

Zhulong's magic power is not among the Five Elements, but thanks to the powerful characteristics of the Chaos Body, it was easily integrated into his own magic power system.

"The ninth true form is still missing."

He let out a long breath, but Li Yuan did not go to practice his cultivation techniques.

He instructed Li Yi and Li Er to tidy up the bamboo house and prepare the spiritual meal, while he himself got up and left the cave.

Today is the day Qi Yun comes down the mountain, and we've arranged to have a small gathering here.
