73: Xianjia, are you from Baiyujing?
Li Yan flew up from the deep pit, his body spotless, and his clothes still as bright and clean as ever.
Just now, he had endured tens of thousands of Shadow Explosion Techniques from the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect.
To be honest, it was truly shocking enough.
If he didn't possess the characteristic of immortality, even with ten thousand guts, he wouldn't dare to take it head-on like that.
But in this world, he was invincible.
The cost of learning was very low then.
Experiencing tens of thousands of shadows bombing him firsthand, Li Yan comprehended a basic version of the Shadow Explosion Technique.
"Although not as powerful as the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect's, this Shadow Explosion Technique is quite interesting."
He looked at the System prompt in front of him.
"The Host observed the Shadow Explosion Technique of the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, and the side effect of the illusion has been corrected, deepening your comprehension of Immortal Arts in the false illusion."
There was a saying that went well before.
To pursue reality within falsehood was so ridiculous and laughable.
But in the judgment of the side effect System, all these illusions were side effects that had to be corrected into reality.
The fake had to become real, but it couldn't harm Li Yan.
The scale of it could be said to have been handled very well.
Li Yan secretly sighed, "The concept of 'side effect corrected into reality' is divine; it seems ordinary, but upon closer thought, it's terrifying."
"I've learned another new shadow technique; this illusion is really fun."
To be able to face a Great Ascension Stage powerhouse without restraint and secretly learn their unique secret techniques up close, such an opportunity was too rare.
Li Yan couldn't wait to learn more, even more powerful ancient Immortal Arts.
Looking at this group of Immortals, and then at Quiet Void Taoist, who refined Gu and Alchemy, what kind of rotten fish and shrimp were they, daring to call themselves Taoist?
The Sword Immortal and the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect in front of him, their value was truly extraordinarily high.
Li Yan clenched his fist, "Any Spell I take from this illusion, I can use to easily kill that old ghost Quiet Void Taoist."
"I wonder if my good Ancestral Master will be happy when I return after completing my studies?"
As soon as he thought about being able to learn more shadow techniques, Li Yan looked at the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect with even greater anticipation.
"Senior, please enlighten me."
Li Yan's 'humble learning' attitude caused a crack in the mind of the Great Ascension Stage Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect.
He didn't understand.
A Golden Core Stage little brat, facing his three-tenths power, could actually be unharmed?
Why only use three-tenths power?
Because he also had to guard against Onyx Moon Fairy's sneak attack.
However, Onyx Moon Fairy was a female Immortal of the Righteous Path and disdained to defeat opponents using crooked and evil ways.
One could only say that the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, with the heart of a petty person, even guarded against a gentleman.
However, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect being so cautious did not align with Li Yan's humble attitude towards learning.
He wished the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect would make a few more moves; he wanted to learn more from this ancestor of shadow demons.
"Senior? Why aren't you making a move anymore?"
Li Yan stepped on the Void Realm, slowly walking towards the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect.
But the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect was as if facing a great enemy, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, retreating step by step.
"You are definitely not a Golden Core Stage Cultivator!"
"You... you... are you a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who descended to the Mortal Realm?"
"Impossible... How could a True Immortal after Undergoing Tribulation descend to the Mortal Realm?"
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect shook his head repeatedly, feeling that all of this didn't make sense.
He suspected that Li Yan was a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had descended from the Heavenly Realm, simply because the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect himself was short-sighted and couldn't see the Immortal's true form.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect guessed that this youthful appearance was merely the Immortal playing a trick on everyone.
As soon as the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect said this, the onlookers who had been watching the show earlier gasped in unison.
"Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"
"Can an Immortal truly descend from White Jade Capital to the human world?"
"I've long said that this Senior is no ordinary person; he must be a Golden Immortal who has descended."
Those who had been mocking earlier immediately changed their expressions.
There was nothing they could do; they were afraid that if Li Yan became displeased, he would erase them.
If Li Yan was truly a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he would only need to raise a hand, and everyone present would turn to ashes.
Those who had been watching the show earlier now regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
When watching a show, one should not speak too much; now, they had offended a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had descended from the Heavenly Realm's White Jade Capital.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect also became more and more afraid the more he thought about it; he quickly cupped his hands, "Junior was short-sighted and did not recognize a Golden Immortal! Please forgive me, Senior."
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, was now trembling with fear.
Li Yan shook his head repeatedly, "I still like how you were just now; come, show me a few more moves."
His ordinary words, in the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect's ears, took on a different meaning.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect waved his hands repeatedly, explaining strenuously, "Immortal! Immortal Venerable! It was a misunderstanding just now, all a misunderstanding!"
But Li Yan, who only wanted to learn Spells, said in a kind tone.
"It's alright, use your most powerful move and hit me with it; don't panic."
However, the more amiable Li Yan appeared, the more terrified the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect became internally.
In his eyes, this young man had turned into a smiling tiger.
If he truly was an Immortal from the Heavenly Realm's White Jade Capital, this young man would just raise a hand, and he would be gone.
The strength of an Immortal from White Jade Capital, to use an exaggerated analogy, was equivalent to Thanos snapping his fingers, which could erase their lives.
"Immortal, I was reckless just now!"
"This humble one apologizes to you; one must never joke with an Immortal."
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances; the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect knelt, kowtowed, and apologized.
Seeing that he refused to make a move but wanted to apologize?
A plan came to Li Yan's mind, "Since that's the case, then hand over your Sect's Sacred Artifact to me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expression on the face of the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect, who had been courteous just moments ago, froze.
His expression stiffened, and he was stunned for a long time.
"Immortal, are you joking?"
Li Yan raised an eyebrow, "Do I look like someone who jokes?"
Since he was misunderstood, Li Yan simply pretended to be an Immortal with a transcendent demeanor.
Since force wouldn't work, he started to bluff, using his invincible body to trick and deceive.
Perhaps he could trick the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect into giving him all his Cultivation Techniques and the Sacred Artifact, the treasure lotus lamp.
Seeing Li Yan extend his hand, demanding his blood glass treasure lotus lantern.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect's expression was grave as he asked, "Immortal, you can take any other Magical Artifacts and Heaven And Earth Treasures within my Sect."
"No, I only want the blood glass treasure lotus lantern."
Li Yan's attitude was firm; he specifically named his Sect's Sacred Artifact.
He only chose the best; who wanted other scrap metal?
But upon seeing Li Yan's resolute attitude, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect suppressed his anger and clenched his fists.
"Immortal, you are going too far!"
"If you want this old man's Lifebound Treasure, if you want to kill me, just say so directly!"
"Taking away my Lifebound Treasure, isn't that taking my life?"
After saying that, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect's face darkened, "To give is to die, not to give is also to die; this old man will fight you to the death!"
He saw the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect put on a posture of fighting with all his might, but then he suddenly turned his head and escaped into his Demon Shadow Sect's mountain gate.
The mountain-protecting formation activated, and a black curtain enveloped the entire Demon Shadow Sect.
The Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect was preparing to shut himself in, intending to resist to the death.
Only then did Li Yan realize why the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect was unwilling to hand over the treasure lotus lamp even if he died.
That was his Lifebound Treasure; once it was taken and used by others, the Sect Leader of Demon Shadow Sect would inevitably perish.
This was not easy to deal with...
Just as Li Yan's face showed difficulty, a familiar voice sounded beside him.
"Immortal, this humble one is willing to help you seize the treasure."
