Chapter 349: First Meeting With Wang Daoyun, Greatest Sword Immortal In The Mortal World

Years continued to pass on the road.

For a mortal, a single region was akin to a vast world which could not be crossed even in a lifetime, much less a state or a continent.

Even Immortal Cultivators of realms lower than Foundation Establishment Realm, without the ability to soar through the skies, would find it extremely difficult to cross a state in hundreds of years.

No matter how fast Ouyang Chenyao was, it would probably take her hundreds of years to go from one end of the Eastern Continent to the other where Eternal Peak was located.

It was perhaps one of the most difficult tests for a newbie cultivator to be initiated into a power, but it could also temper her Dao Heart and let her accumulate experience.

Thus, Tian Yongheng was also very leisurely in his travels, unafraid of her reaching the Eternal Peak before him.

Whenever he saw injustice, he waved a hand, whenever he saw cruelty, he waved a hand, whenever he saw something that went against his moral bottom line, he waved a hand.

When a Human Immortal waves a hand, heaven and earth tremble.

This was not just an empty saying in the Lower Realm where Half Immortals were the highest legitimate powers.

Vagrant Immortals bound by ancient oaths and formations did not count, as they were ultimately shackled and weaker than their Upper Realm counterparts, unable to use their divine abilities properly in a place unsuited for them.

Every time Tian Yongheng acted according to his heart, yet not disturbing the order of all things, his cultivation would grow just a tiny bit.

The key was acting according to the heart, not cold calculation or impulse.

It was basically asking your own self a question, what would your mortal self do with the power you possess right now?

After all, there are differences among mortals as well; some seek only survival, leaving others to their own devices, some act impulsively, dying young, and so on.

High level beings have long since detached from mortals, with their perspective, experiences, and insights into the world, it was extremely difficult for them to go back to their mortal heart nature, and even if they did, most could not replicate it perfectly, either overanalyzing things or not analyzing things at all, leading to complications which made this method far more difficult for them than the nine lives method.

Tian Yongheng’s innate heart nature had basically never changed, he did not go out into the world much, always sticking to his original intention, and the key was that he achieved enlightenment in less than 800 years, a time far too short for any average Half Immortal in the Lower Realm.

His spiritual platform was clear, almost untainted by the filth of the world.

There were a lot of benefits for cultivating in seclusion year round and not causing trouble in the outside world, indeed.

Because of this, each tiny improvement brought a tremendous increase in his strength.

This bit of improvement was insignificant compared to the accumulation required to achieve the Grand Perfection of Half Immortal Realm, but every brick counted in the building of a skyscraper.

Not a single one could be missing.

Of course, this might be considered only a tiny bit for him, but it was something that an average Half Immortal might spend thousands of years accumulating.

Unknowingly to him, his sense of time and cultivation speed had become distorted by worldly standards.

Or perhaps it always had been this way.

Nine years had passed since the incident with Meng Hongling.

A tall, immeasurably handsome figure walked out of a dilapidated temple, his presence even making the surrounding desolation and wildness exude a sense of ancient charm.

Tian Yongheng was getting closer and closer to making a breakthrough.

He estimated that in at most another ten years, he would achieve the Grand Completion of Half Immortal Realm.

He was also getting closer and closer to becoming a True Immortal, those legendary figures of the Upper Realm.

After traveling for three more years, he had arrived in a mortal village, settling there for six years, teaching the children in the village and casually passing on a few cultivation techniques he knew.

Immortal Cultivation was no longer a secret in this world known only to the higher ups of mortal hierarchy; the Righteous-Demonic War had shattered the veil covering the truth.

Besides, Tian Yongheng wasn’t afraid of any Lower Realm trouble now, as a Half Immortal who could contend with Late Stage Vagrant Immortals when he had just entered this realm, he was far, far stronger now.

Killing the Infinite Void Matriarch would take no more than a few snaps of his finger now.

Just passing on a few cultivation techniques, what trouble could it cause?

After comprehending the Mortal Transformation Dao Scriptude, traveling the mundane world, and acting according to his heart, his mindset had slowly began to change. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Without strength, one naturally had to be cautious, but if you were strong and still acted like a insect who could be crushed at any moment, then there was definitely something wrong with you.

Of course, although he was strong, he was not stupid. He still treated the occasional probing of the Upper Realm Immortals extremely seriously and cautiously.

If he were asked to fight the entire Upper Realm, he would still run away at the first second and hide somewhere.

At this moment, from the forest on the other side, another figure slowly walked out.

He was dressed in pristine white robes with gold patterns, continuously releasing immense Dao rhymes with each step he took, glowing faintly in the setting sun.

A divine sword constantly circled around him, also emitting a profound light, full of mysterious charm as if alive.

His handsome face, combined with his otherworldly aura and extraordinary presence, immediately gave him an air of Immortal charm, like a celestial being descended to the mortal world.

"I have long since heard of the Eternal Lord’s reputation, but I have never had the chance to truly meet senior in a private setting.

I humbly request to witness the profound technique of the greatest Sword Immortal in the Mortal World!"

This was none other than Wang Daoyun!
