Chapter 277 Seeking the Seed of the Dao

Looking at her bright and charming smile, Shi Qingyun stepped forward, reached out and put his arm around her waist, whispering in her ear:
"Seeing your radiant smile, I imagine you must have gained quite a bit this time."

Upon hearing this, the witch raised her head and lightly pecked him on the corner of his mouth, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

"Of course, I've already caught up with you."

"You won't have to worry about me holding you back anymore."

Hearing this, Shi Qingyun affectionately patted her head and said softly:
"Fool, how could you be a burden to me?"

"If it weren't for your support, I don't think I would have grown so quickly."

Just as the two were still deeply in love, a melodious bell rang out, breaking the atmosphere between them.

"Disciples, assemble at the Heavenly God Plaza."

The Third Elder's powerful and steady voice slowly drifted from the sky, reaching the ears of every disciple in the academy.

One after another, figures as swift as startled birds streaked across the void, flying in the same direction.

Shi Qingyun grasped the witch's soft, jade-like hand and spoke to her:

"Let's go. I suppose the reason we've gathered the academy disciples is to set off to search for the Seed of the Dao."

"Hopefully, this trip will allow us to find a flawless seed of the Dao."

The witch nodded in agreement.

Shi Qingyun held Rouyi's hand, his divine power surging forth, ripples spreading across the space beneath his feet, and with a single step, the two figures vanished from their spot.

Along the way, they saw many disciples hurrying towards the academy gate, their eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, three imposing and ferocious warships were lying across the entrance of the Heavenly God Academy.

Mysterious runes were imprinted on the hull, and from a distance, they looked like three ferocious beasts lying in the void.

They were always ready to tear the enemy apart; the wild, untamed aura was palpable even before they got close.

Black bloodstains were visible all over the ship's hull; the source of the blood was unknown, yet it still emanated a violent aura.

Those ancient traces reveal the intensity of the battles they endured.

"The three warships that survived the Great War of Immortals and Ancient Times have actually been brought out now. It seems that the academy attaches great importance to this generation of disciples."

Some elders who knew the inside story were startled when they saw the three warships.

On the warship, disciples were already standing, gathered in twos and threes, looking at the imposing warship with amazement in their eyes.

At the bow of the ship, Yu Wudi was conversing with a man of extraordinary bearing, whose every move exuded an aura of Dao.

"Invincible, how was your battle with Shi Hao?"

The young king gazed into the distance with a deep, melancholic look. His celestial aura flowed slowly around him. Although he did not exude any power, the pressure he exerted was immense.

Upon hearing this, Yu Wudi shook his head helplessly and said to him:
"We lost, but not to Shi Hao."

Upon hearing this, the young king also became interested. He was very clear about Yu Wudi's strength and wondered who could have defeated him.

Moreover, judging from Yu Wudi's appearance, he seemed to have no resentment at losing to his opponent.

Seeing the curiosity in the young king's eyes, Yu Wudi did not hide anything.

He then slowly recounted his battle with Shi Qingyun in its entirety, though he was very unwilling to accept his defeat.

However, he still highly recognized Shi Qingyun's strength.

He was also planning to break through to the Void Path and then fight his opponent again.

"Invincible in terms of physical strength? With such an assessment from you, I'm becoming even more interested in him."

The young superstar wore a warm smile, seemingly finding Yu Wudi's words merely amusing.

"We still need to be careful. Even when I showed my true form, I couldn't force him to use his full strength."

"I could sense that the other party had stopped."

Seeing this, Yu Wudi still reminded him from the side, and what he said was also true. If Shi Qingyun hadn't held back, he didn't know how long he would have had to recuperate.

"That's the person."

Following the direction indicated by Yu Wudi, the Little Heavenly King saw Shi Qingyun, dressed in red with white hair and possessing a cold and aloof demeanor.

His eyes flashed with divine light, trying to see through Shi Qingyun, but he only saw a chaotic scene, in which a large millstone was slowly turning.

Its imposing presence seemed capable of crushing everything, and I couldn't help but take it a little more seriously.

Shi Qingyun, suspended in the void, frowned slightly. He touched the air with his toes, and a blazing red sun appeared behind him.

The overwhelming power emanating from it directly forced back the divine thoughts that were sweeping towards him.

"interesting!"

"He is a formidable rival."

The young superstar felt the burning sensation in his eyes and slowly withdrew his gaze, but a strong fighting spirit surged around him.

If the occasion hadn't been so inappropriate, he would have already engaged in battle with his opponent.

Shi Qingyun and the witch landed on the battlefield where the Heavenly God Academy was located. The disciples who had witnessed his divine power dared not approach.

Shi Hao and Cao Yusheng's group also came over.

"You've gotten stronger again."

Shi Qingyun sensed the profound aura emanating from Shi Hao and knew that the other party had likely embarked on the path of using his body as a seed.

"Aren't you too."

Shi Hao was very happy to see the two of them again. He had known them since the lower realm, and their friendship was naturally very deep.

After sensing Shi Qingyun's aura, which was as deep and unfathomable as a prison, he couldn't help but curse him as a monster in his heart.

He thought his growth rate was already very fast, but he didn't expect that Shi Qingyun's speed was just as fast.

"We still have a battle to fight, don't forget that!"

With a fighting spirit in his eyes, Shi Hao spoke to Shi Qingyun, eagerly anticipating another battle with him.

"Anytime."

Seeing Shi Hao's expression, Shi Qingyun smiled and shook his head, agreeing with a hint of curiosity about the extent of Shi Hao's current strength.

Just as everyone was still discussing, the Third Elder's figure slowly appeared in mid-air, with two imposing old men standing behind him.

The Third Elder's gaze swept over everyone present, and he said loudly:

"set sail!"

After speaking, the two behind him returned to their respective academies, and their divine power surged into the warship.

As divine power surged in, the three crouching beasts once again revealed their ferocious fangs.

The runes imprinted on it were activated, and the warship slowly floated up as the formation was activated.

It smashed through the void and entered the spatial rift with a loud roar.

Then it disappeared on the spot.

Shi Qingyun gazed at the scenery rushing past outside the boat, a sense of awe washing over him. Time passed swiftly, and he lost track of how much time had gone by.

Fortunately, the warships left behind by the ancient immortals were incredibly efficient, covering thousands of miles in an instant. Shi Qingyun watched as the surroundings grew increasingly desolate, with spatial rifts appearing from time to time.

Even knowing that they were not far from their destination, a sense of vigilance slowly rose in their hearts.

"boom--"

The three warships, arranged in a triangular formation, crashed through the void and fell from the boundless void, navigating through a chaotic space filled with floating continents.

Looking at those shattered continents floating in mid-air, one can still see traces of battle, and traces of life can still be seen on those continents.

The warship slowly sailed into a large, broken piece of land.

The dark, deep sky was devoid of any starlight, and the crimson earth seemed to be stained with blood.

On the crimson earth, crisscrossing ravines are scattered across it, and as far as the eye can see, there is only devastation.

Wisps of black and red mist drifted across the crimson earth, as if resentment and malevolent energy were intertwined.

As soon as the students of the academy stepped into this place, they felt a bloodthirsty aura rushing towards them, as if they were witnessing a brutal battle scene from countless ages ago.

As Shi Qingyun opened and closed his eyes, the scene before him suddenly changed.

Countless warships floated in the void, and cultivators with imposing auras and overwhelming power stood proudly in the void.

On their opposite side were enemies with even more warships and more cultivators.

The two sides gazed at each other across the void, their auras reverberating throughout the entire universe. And in the heavens above these cultivators, from some unknown place, came the sounds of metal clashing.

Even across countless ages, Shi Qingyun still felt that solemn and suffocating atmosphere, and his mind was involuntarily drawn to it.

However, in the next instant, the scene before them shattered like a mirror.

"arrive!"

The Third Elder's loud, deep voice boomed in everyone's ears, like thunder and heavenly music, waking them from the illusion.

Shi Qingyun looked around and saw that many people had a look of confusion on their faces, and he had some guesses about this place.

"Even the lingering obsession is enough to pull us into that great war."

"It's really dangerous."

Just as he was thinking this, the Third Elder's gaze swept over everyone, and then he slowly spoke:

"This place was once a world, but after it became a battlefield, it was shattered by a powerful being."

"In that war, geniuses fell like rain, and many Dao seeds were also scattered on this battlefield."

"You may seek your own Dao Seed on this battlefield."

Upon hearing this, the disciples' eyes immediately lit up with fervor as they looked around at the shattered land floating in the air.

I hope that I can find a good seed of Tao here.

The Third Elder also saw through everyone's thoughts and said to them:
"Now, let's each go our own way."

"This place is both a place of opportunity and a place of unknown danger."

"Proceed with caution."

After saying that, he immediately shut down the formation. As soon as the protective shield covering the warship was opened, everyone could feel the strong aura of bloodlust.

However, the numerous cultivators had no time to pay attention to this at the moment. They shot out instantly, transforming into streaks of white light that shot into the depths of the crimson earth.

"There is great terror here. Be careful. If you encounter something insurmountable, remember to call for help!"

Shi Qingyun spoke solemnly to Shi Hao and the others.

"Understood, don't worry."

Shi Hao felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that there was danger here, and nodded solemnly.

After speaking with Shi Hao and the others, the witch and he transformed into a ray of divine light and disappeared from the spot.

As soon as Shi Qingyun stepped onto this blood-red land, whispers rang in his ears, as if the sounds of battle cries from countless ages ago had pierced through time and space to reappear in the present.

"Be careful."

The witch turned her head to him and spoke, a serious look in her eyes.

Shi Qingyun also gripped her hand tightly, gave her a reassuring look, and his divine power surged forth.

The moment their feet touched the ground, a Yin-Yang diagram covered their heads, and the buzzing sound in their ears immediately disappeared.

The Dao imprint slowly emerged in his eyes, radiating divine light as he surveyed this world.

Wisps of grayish-brown aura lingered in the void, and within that aura, tiny specks of brilliant golden light flickered.

Those are the traces left behind when the Dao Seed absorbs the essence of heaven and earth.

Shi Qingyun saw a very bright light, so he grabbed the witch's hand and shot towards the light.

Behind him, the phantom of the Kunpeng appeared, its figure moving like a ghost as it swiftly traversed mountains and rivers, heading towards the location of the Dao Seed.

In a mountain range, several figures were fighting a fierce battle against a group of ferocious-looking giant beasts.

"What are these things? They are terrifying!"

"I should have known better than to come in; this is a real problem now."

"What kind of Dao Seed is that, to possess such formidable power!"

"Stop thinking about that seed, let's get out of here first!"

The four were just passing by when they heard a sound coming from within the mountains, so they came in to take a look, only to find themselves trapped here by the blood beast.

Powerful magical techniques shot out from their hands, crashing down on the bloody monsters.

However, it did not cause much damage to them.

On the black scales, mysterious runes flickered, and the divine powers that landed on them immediately turned into a wisp of pure energy and disappeared.

Shi Qingyun, who was in the void, had a flash of divine light in his eyes. He was also somewhat surprised as he watched this scene.

This ability is somewhat similar to his invulnerability to all magic, but the method is completely different.

"Transform the abstract into the concrete, and the concrete into the abstract."

"What kind of Dao Seed is this? It's so bizarre that it directly turned the attack into nothingness?"

The witch, who was standing to the side, was also somewhat surprised to see this.

"Once they have it in their hands, everyone will know."

Shi Qingyun shook his head and spoke slowly, a domineering glint in his eyes. The witch nodded in agreement.

Below, the blood beasts seemed to sense a deadly crisis and suddenly went berserk, directly merging with the other blood beasts.

It transformed into an even larger, bloodthirsty beast and pounced on the four people.

His eyes were filled with crimson, and his ferocious aura shook the heavens and earth.

Feeling the whooshing sound coming from above, the four of them felt a sense of impending death enveloping them, and their blood seemed to freeze instantly.
