75: Ten Shadow Formation, Li Yan’s body is dissipating.

Just as the Cultivators revered Li Yan as an Immortal, holding him in high esteem.

Among the crowd, a scrawny Daoist with a sharp face and monkey-like cheeks stealthily uttered a remark.

"If he truly is an Immortal descended from White Jade Capital, then breaking this mountain-protecting array would be as simple as lifting a finger."

At these words, many Cultivators were stunned, then began to whisper among themselves.

Indeed.

If Li Yan were truly a Golden Immortal descended, even a single thought from him would cause this mountain-protecting array to crumble instantly.

But why did he not act?

This made some people begin to question Li Yan's identity, wondering if he was truly as he appeared.

However, Li Yan did not need to explain himself; there were Great Masters to defend him.

Ember Immortal scoffed, mocking.

"A group of ants, ignorant of the immensity of Heaven and Earth."

"Do you not know that after Immortals Ascend to White Jade Capital, they cannot return at all?"

"This is due to the restriction of the Dao Law; if an Immortal were to act, the Lower Realm would surely be torn apart."

Hearing Ember Immortal say this, everyone felt there was indeed some truth to it.

With the cultivation of a Golden Immortal, if he were to act in the Lower Realm, the Lower Realm would not be able to withstand Li Yan's Immortal power, and space would inevitably shatter.

This explained everything.

"No wonder the Immortal kept standing still, not retaliating even when attacked."

"Even when the Immortal used a Spell, he used the Moon Essence Stance, deflecting Shadow Old Demon's attack."

"So that's how it is."

Now, the Cultivators began to believe deeply in Li Yan's identity; even if a few had doubts, Li Yan did not take it to heart.

He turned his gaze to Ember Immortal: "Ember Immortal, you just said you could help me enter this Demon Shadow Sect?"

"Yes!"

The purple-robed Fairy immediately clasped her hands respectfully and bowed her head.

"Breaking the mountain-protecting array is not difficult; the difficulty lies in Old Demon's Ten Shadow Formation, which is extremely lethal."

"I can break this mountain-protecting array for the Immortal; as for this Ten Shadow Formation..."

Li Yan calmly raised his hand: "Don't worry, I will handle that Ten Shadow Formation."

A rare look of joy appeared on Ember Immortal's face, and she respectfully said: "Then, when this Junior Ascends to White Jade Capital in the future, I ask the Immortal to take this Junior as his disciple."

It turned out that her elaborate scheme to help Li Yan was to ask Li Yan, this 'old Senior', for more care in the Upper Realm after her Ascension.

It seems this Immortal Cultivation World is not all about fighting and killing; more often, it is about human relations.

Before even Ascending to the Upper Realm, Ember Immortal was already thinking of finding a backer for herself in White Jade Capital.

What a pity.

Li Yan, who came from the Age of Dharma Decline, knew that Ember Immortal had not successfully Undergone Tribulation, nor had she Ascended to White Jade Capital.

She had become a Magic Eye in the divine tomb, buried in an inconspicuous corner, and after many twists and turns, it eventually fell into Li Yan's hands.

Li Yan, knowing all future events, readily agreed.

"That is natural; since you have a request of this old man, you can be considered one of this old man's disciples."

When Ember Immortal heard Li Yan say this, she quickly cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you, Revered Master!"

Her heart secretly thrilled, and she had already begun to fantasize about Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension, Ascending to White Jade Capital, and joining the Immortal's sect.

She hadn't even taken him as a disciple yet, and she was already calling Li Yan Revered Master.

If she knew that Li Yan was a person from tens of thousands of years in the future, what would she think?

Why not take this Opportunity to secretly learn Ember Immortal's Cultivation Technique?

A plan formed in Li Yan's mind, and he put on a serious expression.

"Disciple, this old man has never seen you act; your Revered Master wishes to see what kind of Immortal Art you cultivate."

"So that in the future, when you Ascend to White Jade Capital, I can prepare some treasures that you might find useful."

Upon hearing that Li Yan would prepare Magic Treasures for her in the Upper Realm, the extremely utilitarian Ember Immortal immediately revealed everything without reservation.

"Revered Master, your disciple follows the Shura Path!"

"This little girl's self-created Ashes Extinction Slash, please excuse its crudeness."

With that, Ember Immortal held her purple-gold Miao Dao and unleashed a full-power slash at the mountain-protecting array.

Shura Path!

Taking 'battle' as the Dao, all living beings prove the Dao through killing.

There is no good or evil, only the determination of respect through martial power, pursuing the Opportunity to transcend destiny in endless slaughter.

No wonder this Ember Immortal had such a competitive spirit about her.

And Li Yan saw her strike this blade clearly.

[Host is currently comprehending the Shura Path's Ashes Extinction Slash from the illusion.]

Li Yan clasped his hands behind his back, like a strict old Revered Master: "Disciple, your Shura Path is not pure enough."

"Abandon distracting thoughts and pursue the purest killing intent."

"Listen with your ears, and strike with your heart."

Li Yan's few words made Ember Immortal begin to calm down.

"To pursue purity?"

"Revered Master is right; my mind is filled with too many distracting thoughts, not pure enough."

"Onlookers see clearly, while those involved are confused; Revered Master truly enlightened me with a single word."

Ember Immortal cast away the distracting thoughts in her mind, concentrating entirely on the blade.

As killing intent and blade became one, Ember Immortal struck again with her blade.

This strike even created strong spatial fissures, almost reaching the power of slicing through the Void Realm.

Although the fissures quickly closed, the Demon Shadow Sect's mountain-protecting array was directly cut to pieces!

Only then did Ember Immortal look at the Miao Dao in her hand with a hint of disbelief.

"The power of this strike is actually fifty percent higher than before!"

"Thank you, Revered Master, for your guidance!"

The Fairy cast a grateful gaze, and at this moment, Li Yan's prestige also reached its peak.

No Cultivator among the onlookers dared to question his identity.

As for the so-called guidance...

Li Yan chuckled inwardly, muttering: "Cultivators at the Great Ascension Stage all have their own Dao they pursue."

"To put it bluntly, it's obsession. They generally don't listen to others' advice and have their own understanding."

"It's just that they mistook me for an Immortal descended from White Jade Capital, which is why they seriously listened to my advice."

The feeling was like a centenarian Great Master of Chinese studies, acting condescendingly.

The young people, due to their status, could not point out the Great Master's mistakes.

But what if the Ancestral Master climbed out of his grave?

Looking at the present, the Demon Shadow Sect's mountain-protecting array was broken.

Li Yan strode into the Demon Shadow Sect's mountain gate, looking at the Ten Shadow Formation blocking his path, and walked forward confidently.

Ember Immortal and Moonlit Sword Immortal followed closely.

As for the Cultivators watching, no one dared to step forward.

Old Demon's Ten Shadow Formation was considered invincible.

Almost no one dared to force their way through the Ten Shadow Formation; most people kept their distance, not daring to risk watching the show.

Seeing Li Yan walk directly towards the Ten Shadow Formation, Ember Immortal, behind him, reminded him.

"Revered Master, that Ten Shadow Formation is no small matter; shouldn't you... shouldn't you handle it more cautiously?"

Inside the Ten Shadow Formation, Old Demon's voice also came out.

"Immortal, do not go too far!"

"You descended privately, and your cultivation is restricted by the Heavenly Dao; can you possibly still act?"

At this point, Old Demon began to soften his stance again: "If the Immortal wants other treasures, I will offer them all! Only my destined Magic Treasure, the treasure lotus lamp, I cannot comply."

"But I just fancy your treasure lotus lamp."

Facing Li Yan's attitude, Old Demon snorted: "Even if you are an Immortal, you won't be able to break my Ten Shadow Formation within three days."

"You must have a time limit for your descent; I don't believe you can stay in the Lower Realm for so long!"

Just as Old Demon said these words, Li Yan's body suddenly began to turn transparent.

Seeing this, Old Demon clapped his hands in delight: "Look! His body is disappearing!"
