Heavenly Dao Rankings: I Am Exposed As The Sword God

Chapter 72: A blessing in disguise

Li Yu’s courtyard sat in the southeast corner of the sect, an independent residence in the new plan.

It was not completed yet, but the walls were already built.

The courtyard was far from the sect’s core area. It was hidden in the beautiful mountain forest, peaceful and elegant.

It was a residence specially designed for Li Yu.

After arriving in his courtyard, Li Yu temporarily dispersed the craftsmen and checked that no one was around.

He chose a suitable spot based on Feng Shui and prepared to plant the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree.

He wanted to wait until there were fewer unrelated people in the Daoist temple before he planted it.

However, the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree seed rewarded by the Heavenly Dao had to be planted within 24 hours. Otherwise, it would disappear.

Even if Li Yu wanted to delay the planting for a few more days, he could not hold it in anymore!

The Heavenly Dao was really mischievous. In order to not let anyone know what the additional reward was, it actually sent the seed of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree into his rectum.

What a b*tch!

After Li Yu squatted in the courtyard for a long time, the seed emitting a golden halo finally returned to the embrace of the earth.

Once it came into contact with the soil, the seed rapidly took root and germinated.

In the blink of an eye, it had grown into a large tree more than ten meters tall. Its branches were luxuriant, and every leaf seemed to emit a faint halo.

Rich spiritual energy instantly emanated, and millions of rays of light shone down and enveloped the entire ancient tree.

Strange ripples flowed on the tree trunk.

The world seemed to be filled with clear music that sounded like the echo of nature, and it was extremely comfortable to the ears.

It only took a few breaths of time from a seed to an ancient tree. It could be said to be a miracle.

To the orange cat who was sunbathing in the corner, Li Yu pulling out a towering tree with a shitload was also a miracle!

The orange cat jumped up from the ground with widened eyes.

It looked skeptically at the ancient tree and then at Li Yu.

There had always been a lot of wild cats living in the temple. Li Yu, a senior cat slave in his previous life, seemed to have a cat-attracting body.

In this life, he attracted many stray cats and often fed them.

Over time, these wild cats basically treated the Daoist temple as their home.

As the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree appeared, rich spiritual energy permeated everything in the surroundings.

The luck of the Dao in the heavens and the earth enveloped the entire Nine-tailed Mountain like a river converging.

Under the infiltration of this spiritual energy, the orange cat’s gaze became brighter and brighter, and it even slowly suffused with a complicated color that it never had.

Its expression became more human-like.

Not only that, the orange cat was shocked to discover that its hearing, sense of smell, and vision had changed drastically.

Moreover, it seemed to understand and interpret many things that it could not in the past.

Of course, this was excluding the miracle of Li Yu pulling out a towering ancient tree with a load of feces.

How could Li Yu know that the orange cat had actually seen the process of him “planting” the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree? He would never expect that the appearance of the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree would give the orange cat human-like intelligence.

He stood under the tree and felt the baptism of spiritual energy and Dao fate, even though he did not need it.

Still, under the nourishment of this strange energy, he felt comfortable as if every cell was undergoing health care.

He felt refreshed, his body and mind were carefree, his spiritual will was sharp, and his mind was clear…

In short, he could only think of three words to describe it. Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Not only that, but the craftsmen who were busy with the construction work in the distance also felt strange energy circulating in their bodies as if it was a warm current.

Their exhaustion was instantly swept away. They were filled with vitality, minds were clear, and their movements became agile. Their working speed also increased.

Although they were surprised, they did not know why.

Naturally, this kind of immortal Holy Land had its own magic that benefited them greatly.

At the same time, the plants within a radius of a few kilometers around Nine-tailed Mountain became luxuriant.

Many plants were even growing at a visible rate.

The hillside was also instantly filled with fresh flowers, and some rare fruits were silently produced.

Countless animals were jubilant, and their bodies were undergoing wonderful changes.

The purple lightning flood dragon that was laying on the Nine-tailed Mountain had similarly sensed the dense spiritual energy and Dao fate, and its eyes gave a pleasantly surprised expression.

Immediately, it twisted its body with a look of enjoyment and even let out a strange snore.

The Chongming Bird resting on the scholar tree sensed the source of the spiritual energy and Dao fate immediately. It flew directly to Li Yu’s courtyard and landed on the Ancient Dao Fortune Tree.

Its feathers glowed visibly, becoming more gorgeous and beautiful.

This Ancient Dao Fate Tree is indeed miraculous! With this ancient tree around, this Nine-tailed Mountain will instantly become a precious holy land!?Li Yu thought.

After a long time, the Nine-tailed Mountain was suddenly enveloped by a light screen. It was Li Qingyun who had set up the Protective Mountain Array.

This grand array formation enveloped Nine-tailed Mountain and another mountain set aside for future development, covering an area of five kilometers.

Golden light flowed on the light screen, and profound runes appeared and faded.

In the end, the luster disappeared and became completely transparent.

This grand array formation was like an invisible barrier that protected the entire Qingyun Sect’s territory.

No one could pass through other than the mountain gate. The only way was to control the array formation to open the passage at the gate.

Not only that, but the array formation also had concealment function to a certain extent.

Thus, the Nine-tailed Mountain and the other one at the side seemed enveloped by a layer of immortal mist.

It was as if the two peaks were blurred.

People could vaguely see the outline of the two peaks, but they could not see the details.

As the sunset in the west, the two flying boats carrying more than a thousand disciples finally arrived near Nine-tailed Mountain.

On the flying boats, the disciples looked at their destination with anticipation.

Some of the teenagers, who were already familiar with each other, chatted excitedly.

On the other hand, Ji Qinglan stood alone at the side of the boat, and he was still thinking about what had happened today. He used to believe that even though he had lost to Li Yu, as long as he worked hard, he would have the chance to surpass Li Yu.

However, the news of the Divine Weapon Rankings and the death of Crimson Dragon King at the Profound Void Martial Stage dealt him a much greater blow than his own failure in the bet.

Even though Elder Nie said that the Crimson Dragon King might have been killed by the Qingyun Sect Master, he was not stupid.

How powerful was the Purple Lightning Flood Dragon? How wild and untamed was it?

Although it could not compare with a True Dragon, it was definitely the overlord of demon beasts.

The number of beings who could own a purple lightning flood dragon mount could be counted on one hand across the entire world.

However, it was now as obedient as a dog in front of Li Yu.

This was enough to prove that Li Yu had once given it an incomparably terrifying shock.

Therefore, he knew that Elder Nie said that out of concern for his mentality and Dao heart.

Although he would not go crazy after such a blow, he could not help but feel disappointed and frustrated.

After all, even if there was only a major realm difference between them, there was still hope of catching up.

However, now it would seem that there was an insurmountable gap between him and Li Yu that was practically despair-inducing.

This made him despair, and he didn’t know what to strive for.

“Senior Brother Ye, is that our sect?” Su Mu pointed at the nearby Nine-tailed Mountain and asked curiously, his eyes expectant.

“Yeah, strange. Why is the fog so thick today?” Ye Qiu looked at the Nine-tailed Mountain shrouded in fog in surprise.

In the past, he could see the Daoist temple clearly from afar.

Soon, as the flying boat approached, Ye Qiu sensed the transparent light screen.

Before he could stop the flying boat, golden light surfaced on the light screen, opening a path.

“Damn, our sect actually has a mountain-protecting array formation!” Ye Qiu was pleasantly surprised.
