CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 278: SLAYING THE IMMORTAL_2

After he entered the Luo Yuan Daoist School, he gained an understanding of the subsequent levels of the Sword Dao Rhythm. Just comprehending the Dao Rhythm is considered Entering Dao, followed by Understanding Dao, Transformation, and Unity.

Entering Dao and Understanding Dao are the easiest to comprehend.

But the subsequent Transformation becomes difficult.

Generally speaking, Void Immortal Level can achieve Entering Dao.

Earth Immortal can achieve Understanding Dao.

However, to step into Heavenly Immortal, one must undergo Transformation.

This is precisely why Void Immortal and Earth Immortal are not hard, the challenge lies with the higher levels of Heavenly Immortal and Profound Immortal.

This is also the reason why those who achieve Heavenly Immortal, even if they are servant disciples, can gain immortal status.

The reason is simple; wanting to undergo Transformation is too difficult.

The main reason Master Tian Lan, the Hall Master, has been stuck at the Ninth Layer of Earth Immortal is due to being unable to break into the Unity Domain.

It is said that to reach Immortal Golden Immortal, one must achieve Unity Domain.

"The seventh sword of Shen Xiao, named Immortal Slaying Sword."

Li Qian murmured to himself.

Just from the name, you can see the heavy intent of slaughter contained in this sword.

It’s purely a killing sword.

More terrifying in power than the previous six swords, it requires a Sword Dao Rhythm of Understanding Dao Level to activate.

Moreover, this is only the beginning.

Activating it with Understanding Dao Level Sword Dao Rhythm can easily backfire on oneself, making it hard to subdue this killing sword.

Only when the Sword Dao Rhythm reaches Transformation Level can one truly master this move, the Immortal Slaying Sword.

However, Li Qian has the Chen Bell to protect him, so even if the Immortal Slaying Sword backfires when activated with Understanding Dao Level Sword Dao Rhythm, he can quickly recover.

At a critical moment, it can be used as a life-saving trump card.

Moreover, Li Qian found that using Frosty Spiritual Power cultivated by the Ice Heart Technique to activate the Immortal Slaying Sword, its power is extraordinarily terrifying.

Based on the previous demon hunting mission, the strength displayed by those Demon Sect Void Immortal Level cultivators of the seventh and eighth layers, he believed this move is as simple as slaughtering chickens.

Even Void Immortal Level of Ninth Layer and above shouldn’t be difficult.

Gathering the sword move, the chilling Sword Dao Rhythm lingering in the void takes a long time to dissipate, as if leaving traces in the void.

Li Qian suddenly sheathed the Two Forms Spirit Sword, and the chilling Sword Dao Rhythm finally disappeared without a trace.

Sigh!

Li Qian let out a long breath and felt progress in both the Sword Dao Rhythm and the Immortal Slaying Sword, revealing a smile.

"Right, I still owe Senior Brother Huang some immortal crystals, I should go and return them."

Li Qian suddenly remembered something.

He now has accumulated over twenty immortal crystals and hasn’t used them yet.

These immortal crystals are extremely precious.

Besides purchasing valuable resources, they can also be used to break through bottlenecks.

It is said that as long as you have enough immortal crystals, any bottleneck below Golden Immortal can be broken through.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the Dao Rhythm level is sufficient, otherwise, there will still be obstacles.

The comprehension of Dao Rhythm relies on comprehension ability, and immortal crystals cannot play a role.

This is why comprehension becomes crucial.

Li Qian left the Luo Yuan Daoist School, and flew towards Chores Island on the Two Forms Spirit Sword.

In the Upper Realm, Void Immortal cannot fly.

Even Earth Immortal cannot directly fly.

They can only fly by maneuvering Spiritual Artifacts.

Only Heavenly Immortal can truly fly freely.

Of course, there are some flying races that are born with the ability to fly.

It’s actually normal.

After all, the rules of the Upper Realm are vastly different from those of the Lower Realm.

You can see it from the destructive power of battles breaking out.

Li Qian estimated that the destructive power caused by Void Immortal is similar to Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster Level in the Lower Realm.

As for Earth Immortal, it is relatively terrifying, comparable to Celestial Level.

You could see this from the high-level Earth Immortal battles that erupted in the Demon Sect Secret Realm.

....

Chores Island number forty-nine.

Cold and deserted.

Rarely seeing servant disciples moving around.

Mostly engaged in cultivation.

Swish!

Li Qian descended from the sky and landed on Chores Island.

He went straight to the Guiding Hall.

"Senior Brother Huang, long time no see."

Li Qian looked at Senior Brother Huang, who was instructing a servant disciple, and immediately walked over.

The Green Robed Taoist Senior Brother Huang was initially surprised upon seeing Li Qian, then quickly responded with a smile: "So it’s Daoist Qian Yuan..."

Suddenly, he seemed to sense the aura on Li Qian, showing a shocked expression, "Daoist Qian Yuan, your breakthrough speed is genuinely terrifying; perhaps already above the Fourth Layer?"

Since Li Qian left Chores Island and entered Luo Yuan Daoist School, it has only been more than two years.

Moreover, previously, I hadn’t even broken through to the Void Immortal, only reaching Returning Void Perfection.

"Just a fluke."

Li Qian said.

"It’s not just a fluke, it seems Junior Brother Qian Yuan has quite the extraordinary spirit root talent."

Senior Brother Huang shook his head and said.

Li Qian faintly sensed the cultivation aura of this Senior Brother Huang, who should not be in the Void Immortal Realm anymore, but at a higher Earth Immortal Level.

However, that was understandable.

This Senior Brother Huang was already a level seven servant disciple.

And the eldest senior brother of the Luoyuan Taoist School, along with two uncles... were also only level seven servant disciples.

In some sense, to become a level seven servant disciple, one must at least reach Earth Immortal.

"Senior Brother Huang, the last bit of Immortal Crystal, I haven’t given it to you yet, sorry for the delay."

Li Qian said.

"A little Immortal Crystal doesn’t matter, it’s not a big deal."

Senior Brother Huang, the Green Robed Taoist, waved his hand.

With such talent as Li Qian, he was naturally worth befriending, so he had no intention of taking that little Immortal Crystal.

"Senior Brother Huang...."

"Junior Brother Qian Yuan, are you looking down on me?"

Senior Brother Huang said sternly.

Li Qian could only drop the matter.

After a conversation, Li Qian then left the Guiding Hall.

Just as he was about to leave Chores Hall No. 49, suddenly someone flew over, landing in front of Li Qian, cupping their hands, saying: "Nan Xi greets Senior Brother Qian Yuan."

Li Qian looked at the person in front, feeling a bit surprised. This person was the red-haired woman from the batch of servant disciples who, like himself, was from a background of Refinement Returner.

With pointed ears, fair skin, and an extremely graceful figure.

Li Qian sensed the aura of this woman, which seemed to be at the fourth level of Returning Void.

Such a cultivation realm is considered quite good among the same batch of servant disciples.

Generally speaking, from the third to fourth layer, sixth to seventh layer, ninth to tenth layer, certain thresholds or bottlenecks would form.

This woman became a servant disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect, was already a Void Immortal at the time, and in more than two years she reached the fourth level of Void Immortal, meaning her cultivation speed was above average.

After all, the cultivation conditions on Chores Island are extremely limited.

Moving from Chores Island to the Luoyuan Taoist School, Li Qian deeply experienced this.

Not to mention the more advanced Daoist academies, Daoist residences, or even Daoist palaces; the cultivation conditions vary vastly.

"Daoist Nancy, what brings you here?"

Li Qian asked.

"Senior Brother Qian Yuan, is the Luoyuan Taoist School still accepting servant disciples?"

The red-haired woman Nan Xi hurriedly asked.

In the past two years, those with connections or better spirit roots had already left Chores Island and joined those Daoist Schools and Academies.

For those still on Chores Island, there’s basically no good future, perhaps remaining there for life.

But the cultivation conditions are far too poor.

Originally, with her qualifications, applying to join a Daoist school should not be a problem.

However, the problem lies in her Refinement Returner background.

Those Daoist Schools and Academies, once knowing she was from a Refinement Returner background, would immediately reject her application.

"I’ll help you ask."

Li Qian said.

He also saw Nan Xi’s predicament.

If he hadn’t been accepted as a disciple by the Qinglan Hall Master from the Lower Realm, given his Refinement Returner status, joining a Daoist School or Academy would be nigh impossible.

In this Upper Realm, Refinement Returners are at the bottom of the despised chain.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Qian Yuan."

The red-haired woman Nan Xi was very pleased to hear this, quickly saying: "These are the five Immortal Crystals I’ve saved over two years, please don’t find them lacking."

She had previously taken up demon hunting tasks as a servant disciple, forming a team with other servant disciples, yielding little... plus the one Immortal Crystal distributed each year, she’d accumulated only five Immortal Crystals.

"You should hold onto them; I might not be able to help either."

Li Qian shook his head, clearly understanding Nan Xi’s intent.

But this is also very normal, who helps without any benefit?

It’s likely Nan Xi sought others before and failed.

Under Nan Xi’s gaze, Li Qian summoned the Two Forms Spirit Sword, soared into the sky, and departed on the sword, quickly disappearing from sight.

"Alas, hopefully, it will work out."

The red-haired woman Nan Xi murmured to herself.

Although becoming a servant disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect was already a stroke of luck compared to other Refinement Returners.

But she did not want to spend a lifetime toiling on Chores Island.

Since she resolutely chose self-actualization after achieving Returning Void Perfection, staying in this Upper Realm, seeking this rare opportunity to become a servant disciple of the Feathered Immortal Sect, her aim was beyond just being a servant disciple.

No matter how difficult the path ahead might be, she must establish herself in this Upper Realm and pave a broader path for the Refinement Returners from her world.
