Chapter 673: Victory and Rise to Fame
Chapter 673: Thousands of Victories, Rising Fame
This is more than just a leap forward.
Looking at the message reflected on the starry sky, Li Yuan felt as if he was drinking fine wine and felt quite intoxicated.
In three years, from the initial attainment of Taoism to the perfect unity, the five magic spells were cultivated to at least the ninth level, and the highest was the thirty-first level!
After more than three years of hard training and almost non-stop consumption of spiritual food and elixirs, what he saw at this moment was not a message sent by the Taixu Divine Realm, but the harvest of his own hard work.
It should be understood that even if an ordinary cultivator of the second realm has practiced hard for decades, he may not be able to push a spell to more than thirty levels. Those who can cultivate spells to this level are usually cultivators of the third realm.
Moreover, these spells of his are all top-grade spells derived from the great sutra-level techniques.
"The progress is rapid, but the expenses are also high."
Thinking back on the little work he had put in over the past three years, Li Yuan felt that his progress was not fast enough.
Thanks to his god-like talents and the blessing of the Weapon-control Talisman, an ordinary cultivator would need ten days or half a month to digest one elixir, but he had to swallow one or two almost every day.
This is just the "Xuanshui Pill" used to improve the magic power. The "Mingshen Pill", "Wufa Pill" and "Shuixing Pill" used to practice magic are also taken continuously.
In this way, with the nourishment of many elixirs and spiritual foods, Li Yuan thought that his cultivation speed had already approached the maximum speed of the god-demon level talent.
This is worthy of the expenses over the past three years.
only……
"After achieving unity, if you still want to maintain this speed of practice, you will need too many merits..."
Li Yuan had anticipated this.
Taking Dayun as an example, Heyi can be called a grand master. In big martial arts sects like Longhu Temple and Yiqi Villa, there is at least one such master in each generation, and as many as two or three.
But in the Divine Palace realm, if Wan Zhuliu is not counted, there have only been four people in the past tens of thousands of years!
This is certainly because the world of Dayun is closed and there is no complete inheritance, but the difference between the second and third realms can also be seen.
This gap is also reflected in elixirs. For the same elixir, the price difference between the second and third levels is several times. Some rare ones can even differ by ten times.
"It's time to push up the ranking on the battle list."
Li Yuan snapped his fingers lightly, and everything proceeded slowly and orderly according to his plan, which gave him a special sense of satisfaction.
hum~
As soon as he thought of it, the fighting arena sensed it, and in a flash, he had turned into a ray of starlight and disappeared into the fighting hall.
……
There are ninety-three immortal cities in Tianshiyuan Continent.
These ninety-three immortal cities were all opened up by powerful men with great supernatural powers, and exist in both the mortal world and the netherworld. Any cultivator can enter Guixu to explore through the immortal city, so most cultivators are willing to live here.
But no matter how big the immortal city is, it cannot accommodate all the cultivators. Therefore, the holy land Dongtian built one big city after another with these ninety-three immortal cities as the core.
Looking down from the highest point of Tianshiyuan, one can even see a group of ninety-three cities, which are home to monks from more than 70% of the races in Tianshiyuan.
At the extreme west of Tianshiyuan, there is a huge mountain range that seems endless.
The mountains are endless, with countless strange and dangerous peaks, like divine swords reaching the sky.
This place is called Jianling Immortal City, and it is one of the ninety-three immortal cities in Tianshiyuan. Among the endless mountains, there are countless caves for cultivators.
"Whoo~"
At dawn, wisps of incense rose in the Sword Spirit Fairy City. At first they were sparse, but soon they gathered into nothingness and slowly spread, enveloping the fairy city that looked like rolling mountains.
Amid the mist of incense, one can faintly hear the sound of chanting.
That was the daily worship of the Sword Spirit God by many monks.
"Sword Spirit God, please bless me and help me ascend to the third level fighter this time!"
In a quiet little courtyard nestled in the mountains and beside a river, the tall and burly Yu Liuan bowed and burned incense, looking quite pious.
In front of him was an altar, on which was enshrined a statue carved from white jade. The statue looked like an ancient Taoist priest, carrying an ancient sword on its back.
It is the god of the Sword Spirit clan, the Sword Spirit God.
After the daily sacrifice to the gods, Yu Liuan took out the general knowledge ball to check his own performance.
[Current: 877 wins, 3,963 losses]
"I only need eleven battles to be promoted to a third-level fighter. The rewards from the Battle Hall are secondary, and the income from watching the battles is the main source."
"I hope Taixu Pavilion won't be so unkind!"
Yu Liuan pondered in his heart.
Although it may seem that a third-level fighter only needs less than 900 wins, there is actually a limit, which is 5,000 battles. If one cannot be promoted to the third level within 5,000 battles, his record will be reset to zero.
If it were just that, he would have been promoted to the third level long ago. However, Taixu Pavilion was not a kind person, and whenever he was close to advancing, he would encounter tough guys one after another.
"Only eleven wins away. I don't believe that the rest will be tough guys!"
After calming down, Yu Liuan clicked on the general knowledge ball.
Woo~
There was a flash of light and shadow.
Yu Liuan had landed on a barren mountain. He looked around and found that this was a second-level fighting arena. He frowned slightly and looked at the stars in front of him.
[Ba Wanli (Second-level Fighter)]
[Race: human]
[Realm: Unity and Perfection]
"Perfect unity, second-level fighter?"
After just a glance, Yu Liuan felt something was wrong. He changed his mind and almost cursed out loud.
"It's him!"
Yu Liuan instantly remembered who this person was, and recalled the entire process of the last confrontation between the two.
It wasn't that he had an amazing memory, but that there were many spectators in that battle, and he made a small profit of several thousand yuan...
"It's only been two years, and you've already reached the state of unity?"
Yu Liuan was shocked. Two years ago, he lost even though he was half a level higher than him. This battle was likely to be a brutal and bitter one.
But the next moment, his face turned pale and he almost suspected that he had seen it wrong.
[Current: 862nd battle, 862nd victory]
"?!"
Yu Liuan took a breath of cold air.
With the inhuman random mechanism of the Ether Pavilion, this person must have great luck to win all the battles...
This can't be luck!
"An acquaintance."
On a distant barren mountain, Li Yuan casually pinched the starlight in front of him into Nine Smoke Nets. He also recognized the man opposite him. He was a tough opponent he met two years ago.
But now...
"The Taixu Pavilion is quite respectful. After encountering three-level cultivators in a row, they also know to slow down."
Nine-colored smoke flowed around his body, and Li Yuan felt relaxed.
After fighting five hundred battles in a row, and against several third-level cultivators, even he needed some relief, and the opponent before him was very suitable.
boom!
There was thunder and lightning in the distance.
I saw a sword light shooting up into the sky, cutting through the sea of clouds. Then a wonderful scene emerged, with towering mountains and rivers, and divine swords like a forest. The strong aura of war and killing filled the air for thousands of miles.
“There doesn’t seem to be much progress.”
Looking at the spectacle that was almost the same as it was more than two years ago, Li Yuan walked out slowly, allowing the thousands of sword lights to rain down on him.
Two years ago, facing this move, he had to urge Jiuyanluo and Tianpeng to move and dodge, and had to repeat this many times before he could urge the Golden Winged Peng to end the battle.
But now, he didn't even need to dodge.
"Chichi~"
Ten thousand swords rained down, slicing through the void, leaving sword marks that covered almost the entire sky. At first glance, it seemed as if the sky had been slit into thousands of pieces. 'Why didn't he hide?'
The moment he urged his sword to shoot, Yu Liuan keenly sensed something was wrong, and the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The young Taoist did not dodge or evade, but strolled leisurely in the rain of swords. It did not look like he was in a fierce battle, but more like he was going out for a walk. The sword light that could tear mountains and rivers apart when it burst out from him only splashed ripples on the water.
"A protective spell with more than fifty levels of forbidden magic?!"
Seeing this scene, Yu Liuan felt cold in his heart.
The spell he used to shoot out thousands of swords was called "Sword Rain Technique". He had practiced it for a hundred years and had already reached the forty-third level of magic. It was also with the help of this move that he won 870 victories.
but now……
"Kunming's heavy armor is quite useful, but it consumes a bit more mana..."
Walking in the rain of swords, Li Yuan felt quite relaxed and at ease.
If Yu Liuanxiu had a Dharma eye, he would be able to see that every time the sword light fell, there would be a flash of water waves on Li Yuan's body.
This means that Li Yuan can use this spell at will, and has just the right control over the battle situation, with very little mana wasted.
"It's still not sharp enough. Every time I activate Kunming's Ten Thousand Heavy Armor, I need to use it all over my body. If I only use it on the part where the sword light falls, the consumption can be ten times less. But it seems unnecessary to be so frugal..."
When Li Yuan was thinking, he found that the sword light had stopped.
"I lost!"
Not far away, Yu Liuan gave a wry smile and admitted defeat. He still found it hard to believe until the light and shadows in front of him faded away.
In just two years, even those legendary monstrous geniuses with god-like talents could not have made such terrifying progress, right?
[Fight the victor, 80,000 miles]
In the starry sky transformed by the Battle Hall, Yu Liuan was stunned for a long while before he smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Where did this evil monster come from?"
Although he had just played one game today, Yu Liuan felt exhausted. He did not play the second game for a long time. Instead, he opened up the vast universe and explored all the things in it.
"Apart from the undefeated record in the fighting arena, there is no other news... a pseudonym, definitely a pseudonym!"
After searching thoroughly, Yu Liuan felt relieved.
He felt that this Ba Wanli must be the true disciple of a certain holy family, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have such a terrifying progress.
"Om~"
At this time, Yu Liuan heard a trembling sound and found that it came from "watching the battle". He had just finished fighting with Ba Wanli, and there were already people watching the battle?
He subconsciously opened the viewing area, looked around, and saw a very eye-catching viewing message.
[All victories, suspected to be from the gods and demons outside Tianshiyuan! ]
"Ok?"
When Yu Liuan opened the entry, hundreds of battle messages poured down like a waterfall, and the one on top was "Human cultivator Ba Wanli fighting against Wind God cultivator Feng Qi."
"...30,000 people watching the battle?"
Yu Liuan spent yuan coins to watch the battle.
Not long after, he withdrew from the spectator's room with a serious face after watching dozens of games. He was certain that this person must be a god-like demon from some holy land!
"Two years ago, his cultivation level was at the beginning of the integration stage, and his use of magic was still a little awkward, but now..."
Yu Liuan was a little frightened.
He watched a battle between Ba Wanli and a cultivator from the third realm. The cultivator fought with ease throughout the whole battle, had a solid foundation and sharp spiritual perception, and in the end he won, like a master of combat.
From immaturity to sophistication, from the initial stage of unity to the perfection of unity.
“It only took two years!”
Yu Liuan opened his battle record and was shocked again:
"Is this the third level?"
"and many more……"
Yu Liuan reacted and looked through the "Summary of the Eighty Thousand Miles Battle" compiled by the Wind God Clan cultivator. After reading it, he came to a shocking conclusion.
"He achieved over 800 victories to become a second-level fighter in one go!"
Fighting in the battle arena will not consume the monks' mana, and because there is a divine ban of "age" in the battle hall, the flow of time is much slower than in the outside world. If you are willing, you can even fight a thousand battles in a day.
However, the mental drain of fighting is real. Normal cultivators, even those with profound foundation, can rarely fight a hundred battles in a row.
Not to mention eight hundred games?
and……
"He's still fighting!"
Yu Liuan couldn't help but stare and saw that he went from eight hundred to nine hundred. When the battle number stopped rolling, it had accumulated to one thousand battles!
A thousand battles, a thousand victories!
……
[Fight the victor, 80,000 miles]
[Obtain 5,000 Yuan coins]
[Two thousand wins will advance you to the fourth level of fighter]
[Current: One Thousand Battles, One Thousand Victories]
"call!"
In the starry sky, Li Yuan, who had accumulated thousands of victories, let out a long sigh and did not fight again. Even with his background, he really couldn't hold on any longer.
Nine hundred battles in a row, even though most of them were won easily, were still too much of a drain on his spirit. He even felt that his Kunpeng spirit was a little sluggish.
Especially when he was promoted to a third-level fighter and Qiansheng's final battle, Taixu Pavilion randomly gave him two fourth-level fighters, which was really unkind.
"The seven-level division of the fighting arena is actually related to talent..."
Li Yuan seemed to be thinking about something.
After fighting thousands of battles, he even encountered two fourth-level fighters. He roughly understood that the source of this fighter's rank was probably his talent!
For example, the two fourth-level fighters he encountered should be cultivators with fourth-level talents, who have cultivated to the combat power of the third realm...
"If that's the case, then the value of this battle list is really high. The ones at the top are all level six..."
"But it is true. The Tianshiyuan contains countless millions of life stars. It would be abnormal if there were fewer. But it seems that there are only three or four of the seventh level?"
“Is this a lot or a little?”
Li Yuan was multitasking, relaxing himself while reviewing what he had gained from Lian Zhan.
If there was any gain, it was that his control over battles and the combination and casting of spells had improved significantly. Apart from that, his greatest feeling was about this Battle Hall.
"The Divine Prohibition of Time is really a good thing, but it can only work on the soul, and it also consumes lifespan and spirit. Otherwise, the value of this Grand Illusionary Realm would rise more than a hundred times."
Nine hundred battles, even if Li Yuan fought quickly, it still took much more than a day. But in fact, in the outside world, only less than a day had passed.
This is naturally because of the divine ban of "Time" in the Battle Hall!
"The number of spectators has increased dramatically!"
Feeling the constant fluctuation of the yuan coin balance, Li Yuan suddenly felt much better.
Just as he expected, winning all the battles was far more eye-catching than winning a thousand games. Moreover, he won the thousand games in one go!
"In less than a day, more than 30,000 people watched the battle. This is almost half a small achievement... If you calculate it this way, it doesn't seem like much."
Li Yuan counted with his fingers and felt a little painful.
Taixu Pavilion took half of it, and the remaining half was divided equally between the two warring parties. In other words, he only got a quarter...
"Fortunately, the five great caves in Tianshiyuan don't take a cut, otherwise there wouldn't be even a quarter."
Li Yuan was still in a good mood.
The income from half a day's training may not seem like much, but if it were accumulated it would be a lot, far exceeding the salary of a disciple, not to mention that this is just the beginning.
[Battle Star Ranking: 500th]
Li Yuan looked at the fighting list. His ranking on the star list was already quite high. As the only third-level fighter among all the fifth- and sixth-level fighters, he was indeed eye-catching.
"Five hundred is still not high enough. If I can get to the top of the list..."
Li Yuan closed the general knowledge ball.
When the sun rose, he still had to visit Yu Huanzhen.
