Chapter 224 The Great Dao Reached Perfection
After receiving the treasure bestowed by the Celestial Venerable Lingbao, Shi Mo did not delay any longer and directly allowed his clone to break through to become a Golden Immortal.

Upon reaching the Golden Immortal level, the primordial spirit becomes even stronger, and enlightenment becomes clearer and easier, thus offering hope for a faster attainment of the perfect Great Dao.

After acquiring numerous rare innate treasures to nurture and enhance his natal flying sword, Qin Yun devoted himself to seclusion and cultivation, working to perfect the sword immortal techniques at the Celestial Immortal level.

More than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. In addition to his arduous cultivation, Shi Mo also travels to more small worlds in his avatar. Occasionally, his true body is invited to help deal with some troublesome and powerful demons and monsters hiding in the small worlds.

Jiushan Island hasn't changed much in the past two hundred years, except for the addition of some exquisite buildings.

Beneath a spiritually powerful ancient tree on the island, Shi Mo and Qin Yun sat facing each other at a stone table. Looking at Qin Yun, who exuded a sharp and spirited aura, Shi Mo couldn't help but smile:

"Now that you have comprehended the sword immortal techniques at the Celestial Immortal level and have transcended the tribulation to become a Celestial Immortal, why do you seem somewhat worried?"

Qin Yun smiled helplessly: "Senior brother, as you should know, I went to the Thunder Beast Palace. I'm still figuring out how to perfect the method, but when it comes to enlightenment, I'm inevitably affected by karma."

"You've formed a karmic bond with the Thunder Beast Bai Xiao, and now that you've reached the Golden Immortal level, you do indeed need to help him kill that Ancestral Demon of the Heart Demon Path to avoid being affected by this bond. However, with your current strength, it's difficult to penetrate deep into the demonic-controlled world to kill someone."

Shi Mo shook his head slightly as he spoke: "Do you want me to help you?"

"Senior brother, this is my karma, how can I let you risk your life to help me?" Qin Yun shook his head repeatedly.

"It's not much of an adventure. I've wanted to travel and explore the Great World for a long time," Shi Mo said nonchalantly. "Besides, it's just an avatar. Even if it gets killed by a Great Dao Perfection expert from the Demonic Path, the loss won't be significant."

In the original novel, Qin Yun became a rogue immortal, and his magical power rose to the top level of Golden Immortal without any hindrance. He also comprehended the method of deduction, and only then did he use the innate treasure Qingping Sword to kill the Ancestral Demon Mo Xiu.

Even though Qin Yun has comprehended the methods of the Sword Immortal and Celestial Immortal levels, he has only cultivated to the third level of Celestial Immortal. The methods he has yet to perfect are still being improved. It is undoubtedly unrealistic for him to kill the Ancestral Demon who has more than one demonic clone.

Moreover, even if they could kill Mo Xiu, they would definitely be exposed, making it even more difficult to leave the demonic territory alive.

Without becoming a Loose Immortal, Qin Yun's cultivation progress is destined to be much slower. Perhaps it won't take too long to cultivate to the ninth level of the Celestial Immortal realm, but he probably won't be able to create a sword immortal technique at the Golden Immortal level for several thousand years.

"I'll give it a try. If I can kill him, I will; if I can't, there's nothing I can do," Shi Mo said casually with a faint smile. His Golden Immortal-level clone, which was cultivating in Biyou Palace, left quietly and headed to the Great World where the Ancestral Demon Mo Xiu was hiding.

The Ancestral Demon of the Inner Demon Path exists between reality and illusion, possessing Inner Demon clones, each of which can become the original.

With Shi Mo's understanding of cause and effect, it didn't take much effort to lock onto one of Mo Xiu's inner demon clones.

His decisive action, stemming from his fearsome attack, followed the path of cause and effect, effortlessly slaying Mo Xiu's other clones as if disregarding the barriers of time and space.

Even a clone of Mo Xiu, hidden within the Daoist temple of the Blood Sea Ancestor who had reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, was killed by Shi Mona's terrifying attack that disregarded spatial barriers.

However, Shi Mo's move immediately alarmed many Ancestral Demons, and even drew the attention of the Blood Sea Ancestor.

A terrifyingly large hand, wreathed in karmic fire, slammed down on Shi Mo. Facing this palm strike from the Blood Sea Ancestor, a being at the pinnacle of the Great Dao, Shi Mo, his eyes slightly narrowed, also struck out with his own palm. His hand, clad in a purple glove, rapidly grew larger, and his palm seemed to undergo chaotic transformations, with Yin and Yang spacetime and the Five Elements separating. The invisible, surging power caused the entire Great World to tremble.

The moment the two enormous hands collided, space itself twisted and collapsed, and energy became chaotic.
"Hmm?" The Blood Sea Ancestor was shocked, also frightened by the power of Shi Mo's palm. Although the mystery contained within it was not the perfect Great Dao, the perfect harmony between the various Daos was already comparable to the power of the perfect Great Dao.

"He actually managed to escape! This guy's methods in the Dao of Time and Space are indeed formidable. What terrifying talent and comprehension! He has only been cultivating for a short time and has already reached this level. It wouldn't be difficult for him to comprehend the Great Dao of Perfection." Upon realizing that Shi Mo had taken advantage of the chaos to travel through time and space and leave, the Blood Sea Ancestor was filled with fear and apprehension.

The Old Mother of Lishan, who had already quietly arrived in this great world and was secretly observing, couldn't help but be surprised and moved: "My junior brother is truly remarkable!"

After cultivating in seclusion for two hundred years, Shi Mo's sudden move shocked everyone.

Especially those in the Heavenly Dao Realm, with their discerning eyes, could naturally see that Shi Mo had a profound understanding of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and spacetime. These are all paths that can lead to the perfection of the Great Dao. If Shi Mo could fully comprehend them, he could reach the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Meanwhile, many cultivators in the Three Realms who were controlled by Mo Xiu through his inner demons also died by self-destruction. In fact, they were already dead when they were controlled.

After killing Mo Xiu, Shi Mo's Golden Immortal clone returned to Biyou Palace to cultivate in seclusion.

After Mo Xiu's death, the guardian deity of the Thunder Beast Palace brought the entire Thunder Beast Palace to the Great Chang World to hand it over to Shi Mo, who then entrusted it to Qin Yun for disposal.

Now he is single-mindedly focused on comprehending the Dao. Although the Thunder Beast Palace is considered precious, these external objects are of no use to him in comprehending the perfect Dao.

Even innate spiritual treasures are of little use to Shi Mo now. The Moyun Locking Chain obtained after killing Mie Xing was given to Qin Yun for protection.

As for the guardian deities with the ultimate strength of celestial immortals, Shi Mo cared even less.

Because the Thunder Fruit Tree requires a special environment to grow, Qin Yun had to move ahead of schedule to Thunder Wolf Mountain in Crescent Bay, Eastern Shengzhou, in the Heavenly Realm.

The Celestial Realm is vast, larger than any other Great World, and the Heavenly Dao Realm beings can only appear because it is completely controlled by Taoism, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court. The Demonic Path doesn't even dare to infiltrate it.

After that, the entire Three Realms were relatively peaceful. Shi Mo and Qin Yun were both focused on their cultivation or secretly traveling to the Heavenly Realm or some other great worlds while concealing their identities.

The more you see, the more you will be moved and gain more insights.

Time slips away quietly, and more than two thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the Bright World, under the dim sky, Shi Mo, suspended in the void of rain, looked at the majestic mountain in the distance, which seemed like three sharp blades about to pierce the sky, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes: "What a magnificent Three-Blade Mountain!"

The entire mountain was actually a mysterious and complex array. From afar, one could see figures entering the mysterious and terrifying array that formed the mountain through the passage opened at the cliff. After approaching and sensing and investigating from the outside, Shi Mo thoughtfully followed and entered.

Inside the deep mountain passage, array patterns were faintly visible, and an aura permeated and suppressed everything. Shi Mo, who was moving forward, would occasionally stop to sense the array, ponder for a moment, and then continue forward.

There were many forks in the road, like a maze, but after some thought, Shi Mo still found the main channel that resembled the branches of a tree.

Suddenly, the entire formation of Three Blades Mountain began to tremble, as if it had exploded.
"Hmm? Interesting, this formation." Shi Mo was even more pleasantly surprised and began to carefully sense and comprehend it.

As time passed, Shi Mo, who was studying the formation, suddenly sensed something: "Someone is attacking Qin Yun? And the Chaos God and Demon trapped in the formation with Zhu Rong?" Frowning, Shi Mo quietly rushed over, but by the time he got close to the scene of the battle, Qin Yun, who had killed Wuzhiqi and the other two Gods and Demons, had already left.

Therefore, Shi Mo directly ran into Xiang Liu, whom even Qin Yun couldn't do anything about, and the other five Chaos Gods and Demons under his command.

They are all top-tier combatants, among whom Xiang Liu, with his nine snake heads and tenacious vitality, is even difficult to kill even for those at the Great Dao Perfection stage.

"Hmm?" Xiang Liu frowned in surprise when he saw Shi Mo not only not avoid him but instead came to meet him.

"Your sins are heinous! Nuwa shouldn't have been so merciful and spared you back then," Shi Mo said, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he immediately saw the sinful blood and karmic fire on Xiang Liu and the others.

Such chaotic demons who disregard the life and death of all living beings and slaughter them indiscriminately will only bring disaster if not killed, but can gain merit and treasures from them if killed. Why not do it?
"You want to kill me? With your abilities?" Xiang Liu sneered as he sensed Shi Mo's killing intent. The other five Chaos Demons under his command also exchanged murderous glances.

They've been suppressed for so long, they've long wanted to vent their frustrations.

"You're courting death!" Xiang Liu shouted coldly, grabbing two short halberds with both hands and charging towards Shi Mo.

When Peng Shimo struck out with his palm, the space seemed to twist and collapse. Xiang Liu, whose movements were momentarily halted, was sent flying backward by the instant Shimo struck his short halberd.

"What?!" The other five Chaos Gods and Demons were shocked, and Xiang Liu stared at Shi Mo in disbelief: "The Great Dao is perfected?"

"That's all!" Shi Mo shook his head in disappointment, then struck out with his palm again. Inside the mountain passage, there was a strange phenomenon resembling the evolution of chaos, which swept Xiang Liu and the other five chaotic gods and demons into it.

Ah! Amidst their shrill and unwilling screams, the five Chaos Gods and Demons were utterly powerless against the terrifying power that annihilated them. Xiang Liu was also grabbed by Shi Mo and crushed in his hand.
Although he was incredibly resilient, as Shi Mo's body devoured and refined his flesh and soul like a black hole, Xiang Liu was ultimately unable to resist and was completely devoured and refined by Shi Mo.

"Huh? Xiang Liu was killed?" Inside the stone passage, the red-haired God-King Zhu Rong, who was leading a group of chaotic gods and demons, showed a look of surprise.

Deep within the mountain, the Blood Sea Ancestor, who had just encountered Yang Jian and was about to kill him, also changed his expression drastically: "Who is it? Which Great Dao Perfection cultivator has also entered Three Blade Mountain?"

Some ancient and powerful beings in the Three Realms were also shocked. In particular, those who were skilled in divination and had reached the Great Dao Perfection were unable to accurately deduce the cause of Xiang Liu's death. Only those at the Heavenly Dao Realm sensed that it was Shi Modong's doing.

At the same time, Qin Yun, who discovered that Yang Jian was in danger, also rushed over.

"Ancestor Blood Sea? Perfect time to settle old scores." Having dealt with Xiang Liu and the other Chaos Gods and Demons, Shi Mo also headed towards the location of Ancestor Blood Sea.

The Blood Sea Ancestor had already trapped Yang Jian with the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Formation and was going all out to capture him alive, forcing Yang Jian to use his Divine Eye power.

Just when Yang Jian was about to give up, Qin Yun finally arrived and used his natal flying sword to form the Misty Rain Sword Formation to protect himself and Yang Jian.

Even with all his might, the Blood Sea Ancestor was unable to overcome Qin Yun's Misty Rain Sword Formation for the time being.

Just as the Blood Sea Ancestor unleashed his power and injured Qin Yun, intending to take the opportunity to break the formation, Shi Mo finally arrived.

"Ancestor Blood Sea! Bullying the weak with your strength, how shameless!" With a cold shout, Shi Mo slapped his palm towards Ancestor Blood Sea with a flipping motion. Accompanied by a chaotic transformation-like phenomenon, the terrifying power made Ancestor Blood Sea pale in shock: "What? In just over two thousand years, how could your strength have increased so quickly? Has your Great Dao reached perfection?"

Amidst a deafening explosion, the Blood Sea Ancestor, whose aura had suddenly weakened, was then grabbed and crushed by Shi Mo.

"Shi Mo!" The Blood Sea Ancestor, who was shocked, angry and unwilling, roared, but before he could condense his physical body, he was directly devoured and refined by Shi Mo.

Qin Yun and Yang Jian were both stunned. That was the Blood Sea Ancestor, a perfected Great Dao being. Although it wasn't his Blood Sea true form, it could still fight other perfected Great Dao beings without being at a disadvantage.

Of course, it was also because he didn't bring any powerful spiritual treasures or rare artifacts; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for Shi Mo to kill him.

"Senior brother, you've reached the Great Dao Perfection?" Qin Yun looked at Shi Mo with some disbelief.

"I suppose so!" Shi Mo smiled noncommittally and casually put away the treasures left behind by the Blood Sea Ancestor.

Guang Chengzi, who had finally arrived in a hurry, stared at Shi Mo in astonishment: "The Great Dao is perfected?"

"Senior Brother Guang Chengzi," Shi Mo greeted Guang Chengzi casually.

Guang Chengzi of this world is a being who has achieved the Great Dao Perfection, and is currently the only one in the Jade Void Palace lineage to have achieved the Great Dao Perfection.

After a brief and polite exchange, the group headed out of Sanren Mountain together.

No one in the Three Realms knew about the death of the Blood Sea Ancestor's avatar, since it wasn't a real death. However, the top beings of the Dark Abyss were quickly informed by the Blood Sea Ancestor that Shi Mo had reached the Great Perfection stage.

Before long, the group of four flew out from the entrance of Three Blades Mountain.

The Old Mother of Lishan was already waiting outside. Upon seeing Shi Mo, she couldn't help but greet him with a beaming smile: "Junior Brother, congratulations! Our Biyou Palace lineage has finally gained another person who has reached the Great Dao Perfection."

"I was lucky too," Shi Mo said with a calm smile.

Guang Chengzi couldn't help but say, "To achieve the Great Dao Perfection in just over three thousand years of cultivation, that's no luck!"

"Yes! If this is all luck, then I've cultivated for so long without achieving the Great Dao, I'm really too stupid," Yang Jian said with a self-deprecating smile.

As they were talking, a scorching and domineering aura suddenly appeared from the entrance of Three Blades Mountain; it was Zhu Rong, the God-King, who had emerged.

"Zhu Rong?" Upon seeing him, both Lishan Laomu and Guang Chengzi became solemn.

Zhu Rong had long ago become a half-step Heavenly Dao Realm being, and was one of the top few among the Great Dao Perfection experts.

Looking at the world outside, the God-King Zhurong smiled.

At the same time, the plain-clad man in the distance also took out a large, dark, ancient bow.
