I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168: Chapter 480: Bestowing the Immortal Sword, The Grand Assembly of Tai Luan_2 Chapter 1168: Chapter 480: Bestowing the Immortal Sword, The Grand Assembly of Tai Luan_2 Han Yi did not get involved in this matter; for him, time would be better spent cultivating a few more Immortal Skills.

Just as he rose to return to his Cave Mansion, Li Zhengyang called out to him, speaking after a moment’s consideration:
“Han, your strength has fully stepped into the Profound Immortal tier. It might be inappropriate to continue acting with us.”

“I’ve discussed this with my senior sister, and we will proceed on our own. If Han has any orders, I’m at your beck and call.”

“What do you think?”

Though Li Zhengyang’s tone was casual, it contained a trace of reverence not present before, a reverence reserved for a Profound Immortal-level powerhouse.

In his eyes, Han Yi had become no different from a Profound Immortal, perhaps even more promising than some of the Profound Immortals whose potential had been exhausted. Given time, he would surely surpass the Profound Immortal tier and reach even higher levels.

Han Yi’s face showed a moment of confusion, but then returned to normal, as he gleaned Li Zhengyang’s intent from his expression and tone.

He turned to Yang Jiu Huan standing beside Li Zhengyang and, seeing that her expression was unchanged, he slowly nodded.

“In that case, it’s settled.”

“However, the Daluo Realm is filled with extreme danger, with Evil Reversal, Fallen Evil, and Evil Immortals lurking around. One must be extremely careful to avoid a fatal mishap.”

“I have two Third-stage Immortal Artifacts here that I will lend you for now. You can return them to me when we are back in the Immortal Court.”

Han Yi took out two Third-stage Immortal Swords he had purchased from the Original Art Pavilion and handed them to Li Zhengyang and Yang Jiu Huan.

“These two Immortal Swords, which I’ve purchased from the Original Art Pavilion, have yet to be refined by me,”
“Though you’re not Sword Immortals, all skills are interconnected; besides, Immortal Swords possess formidable power. With a bit of refining, they can give you a greater chance of survival.”

Li Zhengyang was momentarily stunned, but looking into Han Yi’s sincere eyes, he nodded vigorously:
“If so, I won’t stand on ceremony with Han. That would be awkward.”

He accepted the Immortal Swords and handed one to his senior sister, Yang Jiu Huan, whose eyes were complex as she bowed deeply, “Thank you, Han.”

She had never expected Han Yi to present two Third-stage Immortal Swords.

It should be noted that high-tier Immortal Swords were priced much higher than ordinary Immortal Artifacts, after all, they were instruments of slaughter.

Even after having been an Immortal for over a thousand years, she did not possess a Third-stage Immortal Artifact, let alone a Third-stage Immortal Sword.

In fact, many newly promoted Profound Immortals did not have such Immortal Swords at their disposal.

Although time was pressing and they couldn’t perfectly refine the Third-stage Immortal Swords, they could still infuse some of their Immortal Power into them. With these two Immortal Swords, they would have the strength to face a True Immortal at the peak, ensuring they weren’t utterly defenseless.

The fact that Han Yi could offer them showed, on one hand, his considerable financial resources–having two Third-stage Immortal Swords to spare without refining–and on the other hand, it signified that he treated them as true friends.

This kind of fellowship was extremely rare among Immortals.

Han Yi cupped his hands and said, “You are too polite. I mentioned before this trip that we should watch over each other. These two Immortal Swords are surplus to me at this stage, so lending them to you to make use of them is naturally best.”

“Additionally, if there’s an important matter, you may seek me out at any time.”

After saying this, Han Yi bid farewell and vanished towards his Cave Mansion.

In truth, he had planned to use these two Third-stage Immortal Swords to join the Sword Realm and boost its overall strength once he reached the limit of the True Immortal tier.

Moreover, when he originally exchanged six Third-stage Immortal Artifacts and many Second-stage Immortal Artifacts in the Original Art Pavilion, he had carefully selected three Third-stage Immortal Swords. These three were exquisite even among Third-stage Immortal Swords.

One had already been utilized in the Sword Realm, and the remaining two, now entrusted to Li Zhengyang and Yang Jiu Huan, could be put to good use.

After returning to the Cave Mansion, Han Yi reflected on the battle.

The Evil Child of that Evil Mountain and the Profound Immortal Evil Buddha were far from simple, but in the end, they had perished at his hands.

From this Immortal Fight, Han Yi had gained a rough understanding of his Combat Power, which suggested he had a significant chance of slaying an ordinary Profound Immortal in confrontation.

As for the seasoned Profound Immortal, he finally retreated in surprise due to the restoration of the Immortal Array, and there was no exchange of blows.

However, Han Yi had the premonition that even if he were to go all out against the seasoned Profound Immortal, utilizing the Ancient God’s True Body and the Cha Heng Finger to their fullest, at best he could only maintain an undefeated position.

In the end, the gap in realm was too great to be fully compensated for by skills alone.

Taking a deep breath, Han Yi suppressed his distracting thoughts and began his cultivation.

This time, he was cultivating an Immortal Spell, the Free Cosmic Mysterious Sutra, naturally aiming to advance his realm.

Facing peak True Immortals, and even ordinary Profound Immortals, he could make up for being somewhat outclassed in realm with skills, but against higher realm celestials, that became an Achilles’ heel.

Inside the Cave Mansion, within the Juxian Array, the Immortal Qi was dense. It was absorbed into Han Yi’s body, transformed into Immortal Power, and stored above the Immortal Spirit Realm within him, which also grew in scale with the advancement of his realm.

Han Yi thought that this period of cultivation would last three years or even longer, just like before, especially since the Great Dream Immortal City had blocked the attack and Evil Reversal had been defeated, which certainly would require more time to reassemble an attack.

But unexpectedly, he was forced to interrupt his cultivation just one month in and step out of the Cave Mansion.

Outside the Cave Mansion, a True Immortal awaited him. It was this True Immortal who had used the device set up in the Cave Mansion to awake Han Yi.

Seeing Han Yi come out, he snapped his fingers lightly, and his fingertip lit up with Immortal Light, which turned into an illusory figure of a celestial, unmistakably the strongest defender stationed at Hundred Year Mountain by the Age Candle Immortal Court, Ci Yun Profound Immortal.

“I am Ci Yun, and a task has arisen that necessitates a journey to the Tailun Mountain Range to eliminate evil. Second Grade Immortal Envoy Han Yi, you are to depart with us immediately.”

Once the Immortal Light disappeared, the True Immortal who had arrived spoke up with a grave voice:
“Han, I am Xuanhai from the Lingyue Dojo. Please follow me.”

Han Yi agreed. Since the task was assigned by Ci Yun Taoist, he naturally would not resist.

On the way, Han Yi took the opportunity to inquire about the details of the mission. Xuanhai Taoist did not conceal anything and informed him of everything.

This mission was essentially a joint operation, not initiated by the Great Dream Immortal City but by the Taipu Immortal City. Taipu Immortal City had formed an alliance with Great Dream, Haosu, and Mingli, a total of four Immortal Cities, to purge Tailun.

The reason was simple: Taipu Immortal City had received strong support from an Immortal Monarch, repelled the Immortal Monarch Evil Reversal, and sought to clear the Tailun Mountain Range that blocked the south-north passage.

Among these four Immortal Cities, Great Dream lay to the north, Taipu to the south, Haosu to the east, and Mingli to the west. If they could eliminate the Evil Reversal in Tailun and overthrow Ancient Ink Immortal City, then the northern part of Taipu Immortal City would fall into the hands of the Imperial Court, and they would have more leeway in the war against Evil Reversal.

Han Yi’s mind conjured the current strategic map of Taipu Immortal City and he found this narrative quite convincing.

“Although Yuting Immortal Monarch is a seasoned Taiyi Realm and has grown stronger after turning to evil, the Immortal Monarch who came to our aid is at the peak of Taiyi Realm, the Longevity Immortal Monarch. Together with Taipu Immortal Monarch, they have already inflicted heavy damage on Yuting Immortal Monarch.”

“Though Yuting Immortal Monarch has fled into the Tailun Mountain Range, this time, he will not escape death,” Xuanhai Taoist added.

Han Yi sighed softly as information about these three Immortal Monarchs flashed in his mind.

Yuting and Longevity Immortal Monarchs were both from the Daluo Fairy Court before its split, with Longevity Immortal Monarch even serving as the Realm Master of the Longevity Heaven. While Yuting Immortal Monarch was not a Realm Master, his combat power was formidable, having earned a formidable reputation on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

As for Taipu Immortal Monarch, he was not from the Immortal Court but was the Immortal Monarch of the Taipu Immortal Territory.

After the arrival of the Tao Contrarians, the Daluo became mutated. All the Immortal Monarchs who turned to evil were from the Immortal Court. Subsequently, these Immortal Monarchs fled the Immortal Court after the Tao Contrarians were banished into Chaos and sought refuge in the outer Immortal Territories.

Other celestials who turned evil generally did the same.

Then, these Evil Reversal celestials who escaped from the Immortal Court contaminated more celestials before the two newly established Immortal Courts could react, causing a tide of Evil Reversal.

As a result, the situation where Evil Reversal ran rampant in both Immortal Courts arose.

Moments later, Han Yi followed Xuanhai onto an Immortal Boat in the high skies. As soon as he entered the boat, Han Yi felt a chill in his heart, because inside the boat, tens of thousands of breaths were manifested. Although these breaths were deliberately subdued, they were not completely concealed, and Han Yi could tell that even the weakest among them was at the True Immortal Peak.

Among them, there were six Golden Immortals and several hundred Profound Immortals.

Han Yi followed Xuanhai to where the celestials of the Age Candle Immortal Court were gathered and upon seeing Ci Yun Taoist, he bowed in salute and then sat to the side, quietly waiting.

After the two of them, more celestials continued to arrive. Half an hour later, when no others came, the Immortal Boat shook, traveled through space, and stealthily headed away from the Immortal City.
