The Tale of Breaking Free to Cultivate Immortality

"When I met you, you were at the tenth level of Qi Refining. After so many years, why has your cultivation level declined instead of improving?" When I met her that year, she was still at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Li Ruoyu deliberately said a little more.

"How prosperous is the Linglong Sect, why did it lead to this tragedy of extermination?" Li Ruoyu asked again when he saw Li Yao lowering her head.

He spoke half-truthfully because he didn't want this woman to guess his identity.

Li Yao's face was pale, and she sighed and shook her head, "If it weren't for the disaster a few years ago, the Li Yao in front of you might have been at the twelfth level of Qi Refining now."

"It's a pity that in order to escape from that situation, I used a secret method that consumed my life span, and since then, my cultivation level has been declining until now."

Li Ruoyu nodded. The last time he met Li Yao, this woman was still at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

In just a few years, her cultivation level has fallen to the ninth level of Qi Refining. I'm afraid she will really fall into the mortal world in the future.

"Senior, I can answer those questions for you, but I want to ask you for one thing." Li Yao said hesitantly.

"Why, do you still want to bargain with your lifesaver?" Li Ruoyu frowned. This guy's temper is still so annoying.

"I dare not. I dare not hide those secrets from you." Li Yao shook her head and denied it.

Whether it was for the sake of repaying the favor or because of the other party's cultivation strength, she knew that she could not keep these secrets.

"Then say it." Li Ruoyu's voice became cold. This feeling made Li Yao very uncomfortable. The life-saving grace must be repaid.

Since the other party knew her former identity, and faced a beautiful woman like her, and that identity, his attitude really made her sad.

"My cultivation level regressed because one of the two people who attacked my Linglong Sect was good at using poison.

The poison she gave me not only eroded my lifespan from time to time, but also constantly invaded my tendons and veins." Li Yao began to tell everything that happened at the beginning.

It turns out that the story started about six or seven years ago, when Linglong Sect reached an unprecedented prosperity.

In addition to Li Yao's promotion to the eleventh level of Qi Refining.

At that time, Linglong Venerable, Li Yao's master, finally reached the edge of promotion to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

In addition to her, there was another person who had already reached the edge of promotion.

Tao Xi, who may be the most talented woman in the history of Baichengyu, reached the peak of the eleventh level of Qi Refining earlier than Linglong Venerable.

Tao Xi took into account the kindness of her master's upbringing and did not choose to advance to the eleventh level immediately.

Fortunately, her filial piety and the kind of waiting were not in vain. Linglong Venerable, who had wasted many years in the eleventh level of Qi Refining, finally stepped into the twelfth level in one day!

But something happened that day that made Li Yao and other high-level cultivators scalp numb.

Linglong Venerable advanced to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, but the gate of guidance in the sky was only opened a small gap, and it was impossible to extradite her to ascend.

"That means the world had already changed at that time, or it was on the verge of a huge change!" Li Ruoyu was shocked. He didn't expect to learn such a secret from Li Yao.

Then Li Yao continued to talk.

Faced with this situation, no one knew what to do. After all, in the history of Baichengyu, as long as one advanced to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he would be taken away by the gate of ascension to the upper realm.

But the half-covered door was only half the size of a palm. Not to mention Linglong Venerable, even a newborn baby could not pass through.

Just when Linglong Venerable was hesitant and the other female cultivators of Linglong Sect were also in a daze, Tao Xi moved.

She advanced on the spot, and just when the door in the sky was about to close, she also reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining!

The door opened again in this situation, but it was only opened to the size of a palm, and it was still difficult for the master and apprentice to ascend to the upper realm.

Then Tao Xi, the proud daughter of Linglong Sect, actually flew to the sky with a sword and cut open the door with one sword!

Then he ascended with his master, Master Linglong!

Whether it was the unexpected situation at the portal or Tao Xi's sword-wielding portal to ascend, it was far beyond the common sense of the Hundred City Regions, so Li Yao immediately ordered to block the news.

No matter which of these two pieces of news were spread, it would bring a catastrophe to Linglong Sect, so Li Yao, who succeeded as the new sect master, immediately blocked the news.

And as time went by, no one had troubled Linglong Sect for nearly two years, and Li Yao thought that he had responded in time and the news was really blocked.

But one day more than two years later, two figures suddenly came to Linglong Sect with swords!

Two powerful men of the twelfth level of Qi Refining came to kill, and even though Linglong Sect had a great formation to protect the sect, they still couldn't stop them for long.

As a large sect with a heritage of more than a thousand years, it was wiped out in one day, which caused an astonishing storm at the time.

It was also considered the beginning of the great changes in the world, but the people of Linglong Sect could not be the so-called culprits at all.

When Master and Junior Sister were promoted to Ascension, the world had already changed. Li Yao told them about this, but they were still slaughtered.

"No matter how bloodthirsty they are, two powerful Qi Refining Level 12 masters will not hesitate to kill those little cultivators under you. Are they crazy?" Li Ruoyu said.

"No, they are not crazy at all, but they are more terrifying than crazy people!" Li Yao shook his head painfully, "They had forced others to do things that would destroy the sect long before they came to Linglong Sect!"

In other words, the incident against Linglong Sect was a premeditated extermination operation, not a simple revenge.

"But do you really know the secret of not being able to ascend? Or how to crack it?" Li Ruoyu asked anxiously.

It sounds unreliable that Tao Xi could cut open the portal to ascension with a sword.

"Xiao Xi was able to cut open that portal, most likely because of the sword in her hand!" Li Yao hesitated, and then told Li Ruoyu a bigger secret!

A sword can have such great power? Li Ruoyu shook his head, how could she believe it? But apart from this, is there any other possibility? He couldn't think of it.

Li Yao spoke very carefully, and Li Ruoyu used the power of consciousness to detect her emotional fluctuations, and then found that she was not lying.

The two asked and answered, and talked for two or three hours. Li Ruoyu asked Li Yao to review the details of her master and junior sister's ascension over and over again.

Still no other mistakes were found. Li Yao was quite skilled in reviewing the process, which surprised Li Ruoyu.

Seeing Li Ruoyu's suspicion, the former said that he had reviewed the process countless times.

That's right, after all, Li Yao's cultivation at that time was also at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and the day of ascension was not too far away.
