Chapter 426 Achieving the Immortal Realm
Li Ye helped Liu Rengong up and comforted him. “Commissioner, you don’t have to blame yourself too much. The world is in chaos, and men are not what they were in the old days. Rebels are inevitable, but the soldiers and civilians in Youzhou are still loyal to you.”
He could understand Liu Rengong’s reaction. After experiencing great misery and despair, he couldn’t extricate himself from the pain and remorse. Now that he accidentally saw the hope that could save everything, he couldn’t help losing his composure.
Since Liu Rengong was still alive, things would be easy to deal with. Li Ye asked him to take charge of affairs and continue to be the commissioner in Youzhou.
Under his leadership, Liu Rengong dealt with Liu Shouguang, Huang Xingqin, and others quickly and decisively. In less than two days, he killed several hundred people.
After regaining power, Liu Rengong said that he would follow Li Ye’s lead and that Li Ye could dispatch the Lulong Army at will. Li Ye didn’t mobilize the Lulong Army but asked them to guard the border so that Qidan had no chance to invade.
On the last night of his stay in Youzhou, Li Ye fell into the state of cultivation in the guest room of the commissioner’s mansion.
He suppressed three vassal states in succession after the battle of Hedong, so he converged a lot of ordinary people’s Luck. In these days, Li Zhen took charge of civil affairs in Hedong. Based on the policy guidelines in Pinglu, he abolished a lot of exorbitant taxes and levies and issued a lot of measures to advocate agriculture. Therefore, more and more people were loyal to Li Ye.
As the Luck increased, Li Ye was about to break through the bottleneck.
The Dragon Qi was particularly active. As a wisp of red Luck flowed in, the amount of Luck finally broke through the critical point.
If in the past, it was time to break through the barrier and enter a new realm.
But at this moment, there was no change in Li Ye’s Ocean of Qi.
When he thought that he couldn’t achieve the Immortal Realm without the permission of the Immortal Court, the scroll of the Luck of heaven on between his eyebrows unfolded slowly.
Li Ye was shocked to see the content of the scroll.
The content of the scroll was not profound, and it was only a part of it. It was mountains and rivers.
As soon as Li Ye saw the content, he heard a ringing in his mind. The shining picture of mountains and rivers detached from the scroll and floated directly.
As the ink of the mountains and rivers floated, an invisible ink-colored light column suddenly rose above Li Ye’s head, straight to the depth of the stars. No one knew where the end was.
The light column was ink-colored, but it was dazzling, covering everything.
Li Ye didn’t wait too long. Countless star-like light spots quietly fell from the end of the light column. The light spots fell slowly, seemingly slow but actually fast. Li Ye soon bathed in the starlight. And at this time, the picture of mountains and rivers on the scroll of the Luck of heaven emerged from under him and spread slowly.
When the picture of mountains and rivers met the starlight, Li Ye’s spirit was lifted. At the line between the picture of mountains and rivers and the starlight, an extremely white dot appeared in an unknown space and slowly spread.
As the dot spread, a complete world gradually appeared.
Although Li Ye closed his eyes, he could see the world clearly.
He was shocked to find that it was not a world of nothingness but his familiar five prefectures of Pinglu!
The Immortal Area!
This was the Immortal Area created by Li Ye!
But Li Ye never heard that the Immortal Area created by a cultivator would be based on the real world.
Under normal circumstances, when a cultivator created the Immortal Area, he stepped into the Immortal Realm. At first, the Immortal Area was only a small world of 5 kilometers. Although it could run like the big world, it only had a little power. The cultivator needed to raise it constantly, adding something inside and expanding the territory.
It was common sense that the Immortal Realm was the self-built world of the cultivator in the Immortal Realm.
Although cultivators could outline the mountains and rivers in the Immortal Area and throw all kinds of animals and birds in it according to the real world, it was fundamentally different from the real world because there were no ordinary people in the Immortal Area!
But there were mountains, rivers, cities, farmland, and people in Li Ye’s Immortal Area, and it was no different from Pinglu in reality.
However, what shocked Li Ye didn’t stop. Apart from Pinglu, there were mountains and rivers in Weibo, Zhaoyi, Hedong, Chengde, Yiwu, and Lulong!
Compared with Pinglu, these vassal states looked transparent, like a projection, and they were not solid at all. In comparison, Hedong was slightly better.
Li Ye didn’t think too much at this moment and began to mobilize the Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Area.
Therefore, he found another stirring power besides the Spiritual Qi. It was mysterious and powerful, as if it was waiting for him to summon it.
As Li Ye’s mind moved, this mysterious power suddenly rose from the five prefectures of Pinglu and poured into the Dragon Qi in his body! The Dragon Qi cried cheerfully and excitedly, looking like it couldn’t wait to unleash the power.
Li Ye was pleasantly surprised. He could mobilize the Dragon Qi at will. Since this mysterious power entered the Dragon Qi, he could naturally use it!
After careful observation, Li Ye found the source of power, ordinary people in the five prefectures of Pinglu. When his mind moved, the power would rise over the heads of the soldiers and civilians of Pinglu and converge together!
Li Ye realized that this power was ordinary people’s Luck, but now it became real power!
Li Ye was shocked and never heard of it before.
Then, he found out a few things.
First, not all ordinary people in Pinglu would send out the power of the Luck, accounting for 70% to 80%. After thinking about it for a while, Li Ye understood that the remaining 20% to 30% of ordinary people were not loyal to him.
It was normal. After all, there were always some people who would not be loyal to others.
Second, when Li Ye tried to mobilize the power from Weibo, Hedong, and the other places, although the power of the Luck rose over some ordinary people’s heads, it wouldn’t converge into real power and it would dissipate in the air, as if it lacked energy.
He found that in these places, less than 30% of ordinary people would respond to him and raise the power of the Luck. The most were in Hedong, about 20%, and the least were in Chengde, less than 5%.
Li Ye was deep in thought. These places were transparent in the Immortal Area. Maybe he had not yet established his rule over these places, so the ordinary people’s Luck he won was not enough to reach the critical point.
He thought about it for a whole night. When the first ray of morning light fell on the windowsill, Li Ye figured out what should be figured out.
First of all, the scroll of the Luck of heaven allowed him to achieve the Immortal Realm without the permission of the Immortal Court.
Second, his Immortal Area was the real world. Apart from the Spiritual Qi, the power from ordinary people’s Luck was the special power of his Immortal Area. Any cultivator in the Immortal Realm would have the special power of the Immortal Area in addition to mobilizing the Spiritual Qi, and it was multifarious.
The root cause was the Dragon Qi, and Li Ye was used to it. The foundation of his cultivation was the Dragon Qi. Because of it, his path of cultivation was very different from that of ordinary cultivators.
Third, the number of people loyal to him in a certain place not only determined whether he could mobilize the power of ordinary people’s Luck there but also determined how powerful it would be.
Having made this clear, Li Ye no longer hesitated. As his mind moved, he broke the barrier of his Ocean of Qi!
“Boom!” With Li Ye as the center, mighty power suddenly spread over a radius of thousands of meters. A cyan and white light column went straight to the sky!
Within this range, all the cultivators were shocked and felt convincing power. They turned to look at the center of power and had an impulse to kneel and pledge their loyalty.
It was as if there was an emperor there!
It frightened them.
Ordinary people, who were not cultivators, felt happy and had a sense of security, as if a golden-armored God was protecting them from injuries!
Li Ye flew up thousands of meters to the air along the light column. Holding his Luke Sword, he yelled at the sky with his clothes fluttering!
At that moment, the power of the Way of Emperor exploded like tides! All the cultivators and ordinary people, who saw him, were distracted, as if they had seen an armored emperor breaking through the enemy’s city and destroying the enemy’s country!
Only when a person comprehended the Tao was he qualified to achieve the Immortal Realm. Only when a person entered the Tao could he forcefully break through the threshold of the Immortal Realm. Li Ye not only comprehended the Tao of Yin and Yang but also formed his Way of Emperor.
Li Ye looked around arrogantly, and his voice was as loud as thunder. “I, Li Ye, obtain ordinary people’s Luck and I’m blessed by the Luck of the Tao of Heaven. Today, I achieve the Immortal Realm by myself! I swear that I will establish the core value for the world, help people to live in peace, rebuild the order for the immortal and the mortal, and return the peace and prosperity to the human world!”
Red Boy and the other cultivators of the demon clan, Liu Rengong and the other officials of Youzhou, the cultivators from the military barracks, and ordinary people rushed out of their houses and looked up at Li Ye in the air. They were all shocked to hear Li Ye’s words.
Red Boy laughed. “Li Ye! You have finally achieved the Immortal Realm! Haha. The future can be expected, and great things are in sight! Mighty, Prince An!”
The cultivators of the demon clan shouted in unison, “Mighty, Prince An!”
Liu Rengong and the others couldn’t help responding to the cultivators of the demon clan. “Mighty, Prince An!”
In the entire Youzhou, countless cultivators and ordinary people shouted loudly at this moment, “Mighty, Prince An!”
Their roar was overwhelming.
...
Outside the Great Wall, beside the ancient path, on top of a hill, a group of cultivators in black robes was eyeing the border of the Great Wall covetously.
It wasn’t Gubeikou, but it wasn’t far away. Moreover, due to the wide terrain, the city was big, and there were many soldiers.
Standing in front of the cultivators, Yelv Abaoji already restored his good look and held a new scepter. The old one was taken away by Li Ye. And at the same time, Li Ye also took away the bead for escape that he hadn’t used in Gubeikou.
When Yelv Abaoji left Gubeikou, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart though he didn’t say anything or show anything on his face.
More than a hundred Great Cultivators took action together, but Li Ye defeated many of them and took away 20 cultivators in the Ground Immortal Realm. No one could let it go.
It was not a big deal, but when he went back, he would be punished by the high priest of the religion of God. Maybe he would suffer a lot. Moreover, the high priest might even give up helping him and choose someone else instead, which was unacceptable to Yelv Abaoji.
So he decided to regain his dignity.
“Although I can’t invade the interior of Youzhou, I can make trouble for the border soldiers. I guess Li Ye can’t react timely.”
Yelv Abaoji pointed to the border and said to the cultivators behind him, “There are 2,000 soldiers there. You take action together later. Kill them all directly... The cultivators in the Spiritual Master Realm don’t need to take action. Let the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm do it!”
Although Li Ye had left, he wasn’t sure if Li Ye was still near the border. Therefore, if the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm took action, they could retreat in time in case of danger.
It was almost time. Yelv Abaoji waved his hand toward the border. “Go!”
The cultivators of the religion of God, who were in the Sky Immortal Realm, immediately rushed out together with a fierce look.
Yelv Abaoji was ready to take action as well, but when he took the first step, his body was suddenly stiff. He stood still and stared at the distance, as if he had been fixed by a spell.
A cyan and white light column went straight to the sky behind the border. At the same time, a resounding roar was heard, and mighty cultivation power sent out.
Even though it was far away, Yelv Abaoji clearly felt that the cultivation power was like tides because of his high cultivation.
Furthermore, with his extraordinary eyesight, he saw a black dot fly up along the cyan and white light column and stop at a height of thousands of meters!
Yelv Abaoji said in shock, “Li, Li Ye? The Immortal Realm? This guy has achieved the Immortal Realm?!”
After a cry of surprise, Yelv Abaoji suddenly woke up and hurriedly asked the cultivators of the religion of God, who were flying to the border, to come back. “Come back! All of you, come back! Stop!”
When the cultivators of the religion of God saw what was happening there, they were all surprised. When they heard Yelv Abaoji’s order, they immediately retreated together.
“Stop?” a cultivator in the Sky Immortal Realm asked suspiciously.
Yelv Abaoji looked tangled and finally sighed. “There is no need to fight anymore. Before Li Ye achieved the Immortal Realm, he could defeat the cultivators in the Sky Immortal Realm. Now that he has crossed the critical point, we are no match for him. If he comes over, it will be difficult for us to leave.”
Speaking of this, Yelv Abaoji took the lead to turn around, dispirited. “Retreat. Retreat. Since Li Ye has achieved the Immortal Realm, I won’t be scolded too much when I go back.”
The cultivators of the religion of God looked at each other. They knew that Yelv Abaoji was telling the truth, so they kept up with him.
They couldn’t kill the border soldiers of the Tang Empire to vent their anger anymore.
