I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 155 Eastern Sacred Land, Sword Without Limits (4000)
Lai Yang felt pleased as he listened to the attribute notification sounds that kept ringing in his ears.

With the Beast Sect destroyed and the threat from the Beast Abyss eliminated, he could return home in peace.

In an instant, a familiar and powerful aura appeared above the Beast Sect.

Li Xiaowen rushed over in her Void Shuttle, but by the time she arrived at the Beast Sect, the battle was already over.

The site of the Immortal Sect, where the Beast Sect once stood, is now a ruin, a scene of utter devastation.

At the same time, the air was filled with an extremely strong and pungent smell of blood. The corpses of the Beast Sect experts were scattered everywhere, and the scene was like a living hell.

"Sir!" Li Xiaowen spotted Lai Yang not far away, and her pretty face immediately lit up with surprise as she excitedly called out.

Lai Yang turned around and looked at Li Xiaowen, who had suddenly appeared. He was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Xiaowen? What are you doing here?"

"When we heard that a mysterious expert had made a move in Mingyue City, we guessed it might be you. When I went to Mingyue City to investigate just now, I confirmed that it really was you. When the city lord of Mingyue City told me that you came to cause trouble for the Beast Sect, I came here immediately. Xiao Nuan, go back to the Immortal Sect to get reinforcements."

Li Xiaowen looked around in surprise. "Did you do all this? Sir, you actually destroyed the Beast Sect."

Lai Yang nodded and readily admitted, "That's right, I did it."

Li Xiaowen didn't say much. She didn't care why Lai Yang wanted to destroy the Beast Sect. She was just happy to see that he was safe and sound.

“Sir, we’ve been looking for you ever since you left. Let’s go back to the Immortal Inquiry Sect together,” Li Xiaowen said softly, looking at Lai Yang with gentle eyes.

Lai Yang shook his head.

Seeing that Lai Yang shook his head and refused to return to Wenxian Sect, Li Xiaowen became anxious and hurriedly said, "Why? Are you still angry? Now that Junior Brother Chu Xiao has become the acting sect leader of Wenxian Sect, with us here, no one will make things difficult for you anymore."

"It has nothing to do with that person; the one who made things difficult for me has already been killed by me."

"Even without my presence, I believe you can manage the sect very well with your abilities."

"If I stay by your side all the time, you will lack a lot of challenges, which will actually be detrimental to your growth and cultivation."

"I've thought about living a quiet life of cultivation to improve my understanding of the Dao. If I get tired of it someday, I might consider returning to the Immortal Seeking Sect, but that's definitely not now."

Lai Yang explained in a gentle tone.

"You don't need to worry. Go ahead and do whatever you want. Even if you cause a huge mess, I'll be there to protect you."

Lai Yang raised his hand and gently stroked Li Xiaowen's head.

"Now that this matter is settled, let's go back to Bright Moon City. I still have some things left there. Tell Chu Xiao and the others that they don't need to come over. It's all over now, so they won't have made a wasted trip."

"Mmm." Li Xiaowen's cheeks flushed slightly as she nodded gently.

Lai Yang raised his hand and tore through the void, taking Li Xiaowen with him as he stepped inside.

In the blink of an eye, the two returned to Lai Yang's courtyard in Mingyue City.

Upon witnessing this scene, Li Xiaowen was secretly shocked.

The gentleman was able to return directly to Bright Moon City from the Beast Sect, a place so far away, without using any teleportation array.

Such astonishing methods were something even her master, Lan Qingxian, could not achieve.

Your abilities are becoming increasingly unfathomable.

The little black dog smelled the familiar scent and immediately ran out.

When Li Xiaowen's gaze fell upon the little black dog, she immediately sensed the extraordinary bloodline emanating from it and exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, this dog..."

"I bought it to keep watch and relieve boredom," Lai Yang said casually.

This black dog has a strong bloodline, and is probably a descendant of a powerful demon clan. With a little training, it could definitely become a formidable fighting force.

“I’ll be staying here for the next while. If you encounter any problems that you can’t solve, you can come to me,” Lai Yang said, turning to Li Xiaowen.

"Then, what if there's nothing to do in the future..." Li Xiaowen blinked, her eyes sparkling with a captivating beauty, her words seemingly carrying a hidden meaning.

Lai Yang reached out and wrapped his arms around Li Xiaowen's soft, boneless, and alluring body, his gaze aggressive, a smile playing on his lips:
Why wait until tomorrow? What about today?

News of the Beast Sect's destruction quickly spread throughout the Central Continent.

This news was like a depth charge, turning the entire Central Continent upside down.

The Beast Sect members can command demonic beasts of the same realm to fight, so fighting them is equivalent to one against two. Moreover, they have a Loose Immortal Ancestor in charge, so how could they be wiped out so easily?

Could it be that the strongest holy lands of the Immortal Continent have made a move?
I haven't heard of the Beast Sect offending any holy land recently.

After investigation by various immortal sects, the events that occurred in Bright Moon City quickly came to their attention.

In an instant, countless powerful figures learned that a sword immortal had appeared in Bright Moon City, and that he had even single-handedly wiped out the entire Beast Sect.

Further investigation revealed that this person was the same one who had defeated Xue Buqing, the sect leader of the Shangqing Xuanzong sect, with a single sword strike.

Due to some conflicts, he actually left the Wenxian Sect and has now resumed his status as a rogue cultivator.

Everyone was incredulous. Such a powerful expert, why didn't the Immortal Asking Sect try every means to keep him, but instead drove him away? It was utterly foolish.

Could it be that just because Lan Qingxian, the sect leader of the Wenxian Sect, entered the Path to Immortality and has not returned, they are courting death and destroying the Wenxian Sect's thousand-year-old foundation?

It is a pity that some immortal sects are at odds with the Wenxian Sect.

They thought that because of this man's bloodthirsty nature, he didn't treat the Immortal Inquiry Sect the same way he treated the Beast Sect.

Although the Beast Sect is slightly weaker than the Immortal Sect, it is not much weaker.

Based on his demonstrated strength, he could easily wipe out the Wenxian Sect in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, since learning that Lai Yang had left the Wenxian Sect, many powerful figures from the Shangxian Sect have tried to recruit him into their forces, promising him numerous benefits.

However, without exception, all those who visited were rejected by Lai Yang.

Lai Yang watched the departing elders of the immortal sect and sighed softly.

Since he chose to leave the Wenxian Sect, he naturally had no intention of joining any other sect.

With Lai Yang's current abilities, it would be meaningless for him to join another sect.

After all, what he needs now is not to break through and ascend, but to slowly accumulate physical strength.

He doesn't need to compete for the chance to live forever, because he has already achieved immortality.

"Sword Master Wuji from the Eastern Region has come seeking a sword!"

A man dressed in flowing white robes, with a sword at his waist and exuding an intense sword intent, appeared in the sky above Bright Moon City and shouted loudly.

"Jian Wuji? Could he be the Jian Wuji who is known as the number one swordsman in the Eastern Region?" "This is going to be interesting. Jian Wuji comes from the Holy Land of the Eastern Region and is an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship. He must have been attracted by the sword immortal of my Bright Moon City and wants to compete with him to determine the winner."

"I wonder who is stronger in swordsmanship, Jian Wuji or that senior sword immortal in the city?"

The powerful figures of Bright Moon City were abuzz with discussion.

Lai Yang felt somewhat helpless about this.

Ever since someone gave him the title of the greatest swordsman of our time, people have been challenging him every now and then.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

As prodigies, they have their own pride and naturally do not want to be trampled on, or they want to use Lai Yang's fame to become famous throughout the world.

Lai Yang had already repelled several waves of challengers, but each new challenger was stronger than the last.

These sword cultivators are even willing to risk their lives for the sword path they believe in.

Lai Yang could sense that this person's sword intent was not weak, and had even faintly touched the threshold of the pinnacle.

Then, Lai Yang's figure flashed and appeared in front of Jian Wuji.

"I don't want to hurt you. It's not too late to retreat now." Lai Yang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at Jian Wuji.

"Everyone says that you are the number one sword immortal of this era, with divine sword skills. I, Jian Wuji, have never been defeated in the way of the sword since I started learning it. I have come here to learn from you and hope that you will not hesitate to teach me." After saying this, Jian Wuji drew his sword, and his sword intent soared into the sky, even dispersing the clouds in the sky in an instant.

Lai Yang sighed and said calmly, "In that case, I will draw my sword. If you can withstand it, you will win."

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuji felt humiliated by Lai Yang and was about to say something.

However, the next moment, when he sensed the vast sword intent domain erupting from Lai Yang's body, his sword intent was instantly suppressed, like a small witch facing a great witch, an ant trying to shake a tree, and he was that tiny and pitiful ant.

Lai Yang's terrifying sword intent deeply stimulated Jian Wuji's heart.

But he did not back down. His sword-like eyes blazed with intense excitement and fervor. Wasn't this the ultimate realm of sword intent he had longed for?!
He has been stuck at the threshold of the pinnacle of sword intent for hundreds of years, unable to make any progress.

At this moment, Jian Wuji felt the sword intent emanating from Lai Yang's body, and the bottleneck in his cultivation level actually loosened slightly.

"The sword intent that has reached the pinnacle is actually the sword intent that has reached the pinnacle!"

"I've finally seen it! Let me experience firsthand just how powerful this pinnacle of sword intent truly is!"

A look of fanaticism and obsession appeared on Jian Wuji's face. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

Lai Yang remained calm and indifferent, not holding a sword in his hand, but using his fingers as a weapon to make his moves.

Lai Yang's sword light instantly tore apart all of Jian Wuji's techniques, even severing the superior-grade spirit sword in his hand.

The sword light fell on Jian Wuji without any hindrance, leaving a hideous and terrifying sword wound on his chest.

Jian Wuji was severely injured and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper, but his sword eyes were frighteningly bright.

"This is the ultimate sword intent I've been pursuing, so that's how it is, hahaha..."

"In the way of the sword, I, Jian Wuji, have never submitted to anyone in my life. You are the first. Come on, kill me. To die by your hand, I will have no regrets in this life."

Jian Wuji stared intently at Lai Yang, having already prepared himself for death before arriving.

Seeking a sword is not just a simple matter; for sword cultivators, it is a life-or-death struggle over the way of the sword.

If one is less skilled than others and dies by someone else's sword, one has no one to blame but oneself.

Lai Yang remained unmoved and said calmly, "I've already said I'll only use one sword strike. You can leave now."

If Lai Yang wanted to kill him, that sword strike just now would have done more than just severely injure Jian Wuji.

Lai Yang was not a bloodthirsty person. The two had no past grudges or recent feuds. Moreover, he did not sense any killing intent from Jian Wuji, so he did not kill him.

Upon hearing this, Jian Wuji was shocked. The other party was not going to kill him?
The next second, Jian Wuji's expression changed, and he respectfully said, "I am Jian Wuji. I humbly request that you accept me as your disciple. I am willing to follow you and serve you tea and water."

Upon witnessing this scene, the powerful figures from Bright Moon City who were watching the spectacle nearby showed expressions of disbelief.

"Fuck, what did I see?"

"Jian Wuji from the Eastern Holy Land, who has always been arrogant and never takes anyone seriously, actually took the initiative to become that person's disciple?"

"What's so surprising about that? Jian Wuji couldn't even last one move against him, which shows that his reputation as a sword immortal is well-deserved. If I were in his shoes, I would also want to become his disciple."

……

A look of surprise flashed in Lai Yang's eyes, and then he said, "I haven't taken on any disciples in a long time, so let's skip the apprenticeship ceremony. You should go back and heal your injuries."

After saying that, Lai Yang turned and left, not giving the other party a chance to speak.

A hint of regret appeared in Jian Wuji's eyes, but he did not intend to give up. Dragging his heavily injured body, he slowly got up and murmured in a deep voice, "The Sword Immortal Senior is unwilling to accept me as a disciple. It must be because my sincerity is not enough."

To Lai Yang's surprise, although he refused Jian Wuji, the other party seemed to have no intention of leaving.

After recovering from his injuries in Bright Moon City, Jian Wuji stood guard on the city wall, holding his sword.

Jian Wuji kept replaying the scene of the battle a few days ago in his mind. The more he comprehended the opponent's sword intent, the more he felt that the opponent's sword intent was unfathomable.

He even sensed that Lai Yang's power had subtly surpassed the realm of sword intent, reaching a level that transcended it.

"What? Even Jian Wuji from the Eastern Holy Land was defeated by that person? He is known as the number one swordsman in our Eastern Region."

"What?! He couldn't even withstand one of the opponent's sword strikes? You must be kidding me!?"

"What?! After being defeated by the other party, Jian Wuji wanted to become their disciple but was refused. Not only did he not leave Mingyue City, but he also personally stepped in to block other sword seekers for that person?"

"How could a dignified sword cultivator at the peak of the seventh realm from the sacred land of the Eastern Region be willing to become someone else's vassal? Is he still the Jian Wuji we know?"

The news from Bright Moon City greatly shocked countless powerful figures in the Eastern Region.

The Eastern Holy Land personally sent people to Bright Moon City to persuade Jian Wuji.

Jian Wuji is the strongest sword cultivator in their Eastern Holy Land, and is hailed as the most promising candidate to become the next Sword Immortal. How could he possibly give up so easily?

People from the Eastern Holy Land appeared across space, frowned as they looked at Jian Wuji, and called out:
"Elder Wuji, the Holy Lord has ordered that you return to the Holy Land with us immediately."

Jian Wuji slowly opened his eyelids, his deep sword-like eyes flashing with a cold light as he stared at the crowd from the Eastern Holy Land, coldly uttering a single word:

"roll."
