Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 213 The Pie of Heaven's Way (Part 2)

Rumble!
After the young Wei Yuan made his decision and left alone, the door to Li Ming's room slammed shut.

Then, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, echoed throughout the house.

"The Ancient Sacred Body..."

As dawn broke, he slowly rose, and layers of crimson-gold light emanated from the depths of his body, illuminating his skin as if it were made of crystal.

Even faintly visible are fine yet resilient blood vessels lurking beneath his skin.

The blood within contains immense power, and with each flow, it resonates like a rushing river.

But all of this was kept within the confines of the room by Dawn, and was not known to the outside world.

However, this was merely the dawn, releasing only one ten-thousandth of the power of his original Ancient Sacred Body!
Thinking of this, he muttered to himself,
"It seems that the Heavenly Dao of this realm is not wary of this kind of physique!"

After all, although the Heavenly Dao of this realm is powerful, it is not yet powerful enough to be completely omniscient.

Otherwise... it wouldn't have become the target of so many top-tier items vying to devour it.

Similarly, it was precisely because of ancient times that many super-grade items were born.

Most of them perished in that ancient battle, but the systems left behind by each of them can be described as pointing directly to the supreme Dao.

And the more marks Dawn leaves in this realm, the more he resembles the natives of this realm.

It's just a slight change; perhaps it's the activation of the bloodline of some ancient, supreme being.

Therefore, it is normal that the dawn only released one ten-thousandth of the power of the Ancient Sacred Body and went unnoticed.

However, if he were to fully imbue this native body with the true power of the main universe of the Heaven-Covering Realm, it would be impossible for him to hide it any longer!
After all, although the ancient super-grade beings are strong, let alone just a bloodline, even if they came in person, they would not be as good as Dawn's ancient holy body bloodline!
Having achieved the Great Perfection of the Ancient Sacred Body, one can rival even the Great Emperor.

With every gesture he makes, even the entire world seems to twist and shatter.

Even though Dawn's realm in the main universe is only the first level of the fourth pole, how can the life essence of the supreme gods and demons in this world be compared with the Ancient Sacred Body?

Rumble!
With the help of this ancient sacred body's power, Li Ming finally stepped into the realm of the third rank of martial artist!

One year!
It's only been a year!
This is also because he did not fully commit his many ideas to this path.

In fact, if it weren't for the need to evade the detection of Heaven's Dao...

If dawn were to fully absorb the essence of heaven and earth, it would have reached this realm long ago.

Therefore, he did not need to devour a wisp of the power of the Ancient Sacred Body from his own body.

He finally stepped into the third rank!

"But... is this the power of a third-rank martial artist? Its essence... seems to be somewhere between the Dao Palace and the Four Extremes, but its potential is average."

A third-rank martial artist, also known as the immortal body, possesses extremely strong and long-lasting vitality.

It was as if even flesh and blood possessed their own life.

For a third-rank martial artist, the so-called regeneration of severed limbs is nothing more than a trivial matter.

Perhaps it cannot compare to a first-grade half-step Martial God, which even a super-grade being could not erase, and could only have its body dismantled and suppressed one by one.

However, even if a third-rank martial artist is killed by the enemy and only has a head left, he still has the opportunity to regenerate.

However... a third-grade body tainted with a wisp of the bloodline of the Ancient Sacred Body is vastly different from the body of an ordinary third-grade martial artist.

It's not just their level of liveliness that's incomparable.

Li Ming slightly clenched his five fingers, and the airflow in the entire room was gathered and concentrated in his palm, creating an instant vacuum in the room.

Click!

Ding!
With a crisp sound, he completely molded the gas in the room into a glass-like bead.

Then, when compressed to its limit, it completely collapsed and shattered, dissipating into airflow once more.

Dawn witnessed all of this firsthand, and said calmly,
"It's almost there... This is already close to the limit of ordinary Dao Palace power."

After a year, Wei Yuan, with his talent and under his tutelage, was able to reach the level of a sixth-rank martial artist.

Dawn will naturally follow.

He has already thoroughly understood part of the martial arts system of this world.

Reaching the level of a third-rank martial artist is nothing more than a natural progression, a natural outcome.

"Perhaps when I reach the first rank, it will be time for me to confront the Heavenly Dao of this world!"

He was somewhat looking forward to the day when he could deduce the martial arts system of this world to the level of a first-grade martial god.

After combining the power of the two systems into one, can we make a breakthrough against the so-called super grade?

At the same time, he was also itching to test his skills and see what the so-called super-grade gods and demons were worth!
However, before that, he felt that he might have gone astray on his path as a martial artist.

This difference is not that he is worse than an ordinary warrior.

Instead, it has taken a different path from the ordinary martial arts system.

The original martial arts system of the Great Feng world followed the path of resisting the rules of heaven and earth with pure physical strength, blood and energy, and will!

Therefore, cultivators from various systems often discover this when they mobilize the power of the rules of heaven and earth to fight against martial artists.

Their invincible power, when it struck the warrior's body, was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, completely neutralized.

However… Li Ming vaguely remembered that there were simply too many conditions that martial artists in this system needed to meet in order to reach the Super Grade realm.

For example, the recognition of Heaven, the human fortune of the Nine Provinces, and one's own realm of the Great Dao.

Furthermore, one must be full of energy and spirit, forming a self-sustaining cycle and a self-contained world!
Given such complex conditions, it is impossible for the dawn to be recognized by the will of Heaven.

As for the other conditions, Dawn naturally has ways to achieve them.

This is not a difficult task.

Therefore... the ultimate realm of martial god that Dawn wants to reach is to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth, and to condense his own rule-based world by using the path of the human emperor who has traveled through all realms.

To a certain extent, this is essentially the same as the world!
It does not require the approval of the world's natural order!

Of course, this is just a hypothetical scenario.

Dawn can no longer work in isolation regarding the future of the Path of the Martial God.

He needs to learn more martial arts techniques and draw upon the wisdom of the common people to propel himself forward.

Thinking of this, Tao Weiwei raised her eyelids, her intense gaze seemingly piercing through the void, landing on the young man Wei Yuan at the other end of the manor...

……

Inside the hall, Shangguan Pei, who was originally known for his refined and scholarly demeanor, revealed a shadow of gloom on his face after hearing Wei Yuan's decision. His pupils dilated slightly, and his gaze pierced Wei Yuan like needles.
"You mean... you don't want to study anymore, and instead want to become a boorish brute?"

Ding!
Hearing this, Shangguan Xixue, who was making tea for her father, trembled slightly with her fair hands, and the tea set she was holding collided, splashing a little water.

She knows her father too well.

My father, who was originally a man of noble character, has gradually lost his original heart after years of being immersed in officialdom.

It has gradually been transformed by power and interests.

The boy before him had clearly fallen into his father's eyes and was to be used as a pawn.

She had originally intended to be clever and use this connection to get her father to accept the boy and make him her husband.

But now it seems that this matter is not so simple.

One is her father, who raised her but gradually lost his true self. The other is the man she wants to entrust the rest of her life to.

They are both incredibly proud.

If they were to break off their relationship because of this, then what about my future...?

In her dazed state, Wei Yuan, despite the terrifying pressure, bowed deeply to Shangguan Pei and solemnly said,
"Thank you for taking care of me all these days, Uncle, but I've come here... to say goodbye!"

boom!
A terrifying pressure descended like a waterfall, causing the entire hall to tremble.

Despite being only a Vice Minister of Rites, Shangguan Pei rarely seems to get into fights.

As a student of Confucianism and Taoism, his abilities should not be underestimated.

Despite the immense, waterfall-like pressure, Wei Yuan managed to stand up, his bones creaking and his eyes meeting Shangguan Pei's.

Large beads of sweat slid down his forehead, eventually rolling down his face and crashing heavily to the ground.

As a sixth-rank martial artist personally trained by Li Ming, his physique was far stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level.

Even though Shangguan Pei was a fifth-rank official, it didn't actually put much pressure on him.

The reason for this behavior was simply to give Shangguan Pei a way out.

Only now, having truly grasped this power, did Wei Yuan recall the teachings Li Ming had given him.

I still remember when he was practicing martial arts, because he had been well-versed in Confucian classics since childhood, he still believed in the principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, as well as benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.

But when dawn earnestly instructed him, presenting him with the bloody and cruel facts of dynastic changes in history.

He then began to realize the truth.

So-called destiny and popular support can both be cultivated.

In fact, all it takes is to control violence, and on that basis, he can make most people fabricate a destiny for him.

The current emperor is not necessarily more benevolent than the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

The difference between them is that the reigning emperor generally held violence firmly in his hands.

The last emperor of the previous dynasty actually believed that high-sounding rhetoric and relinquished his ability to control violence.

Of course, the most direct form of violence, besides one's own fists, is almost nonexistent.

However, this does not mean that Wei Yuan will become a selfish person from now on.

He simply loves the world!

Love all people!
She simply didn't love the emperor!
In his previous life, after he sought refuge with Shangguan Pei, he lived in a relatively safe and peaceful environment, accompanied by poetry and books.

I almost genuinely believed that loyalty to the emperor should correspond to patriotism and bringing peace to the people.

Unfortunately... after he was caught eloping, he was subjected to castration.

After winning the Battle of Shanhai Pass for the Great Feng Dynasty, he was repeatedly suspected by the Great Feng Emperor and was even directly coerced into abandoning his cultivation and giving up the opportunity to become a second-rank Dao-Merging Martial Artist.

Now, under Dawn's guidance, he has come to realize ahead of time what he should have only known after going through hardships.

That means only fists, only violence!
Only by holding it firmly in your own hands can you realize your ambitions.
Cultivating oneself, governing the country, ruling the world... and even seeking revenge!

We don’t necessarily need that incompetent emperor!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Shangguan Pei uttered three "good"s in a row, his voice booming through the air and stirring up the air currents in the room.

"Since you insist on going against your father's last wishes, then go!"

When Shangguan Pei's pressure proved ineffective, he directly invoked Wei Yuan's father's name.

Wei Yuan remained silent, kowtowed again, and left in silence.

……

At the heart of the capital of the Great Feng Kingdom, a nine-story tower stands tall against the sky.

This place gathers most of the fortune of the Nine Provinces, and the fortune of humanity is so heavy that it is almost tangible and extends deep into the void.

In the darkness, it aligns with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

At the top of the nine-story Star-Picking Tower, the current Supervisor sat upright on the Bagua Platform, his vast divine will seemingly hidden within the immense human energy, merging into the entire world.

So much so that it seemed that every place in the capital city of Dafeng could be reflected in his sight.

In front of him, a screen of light floated.

The scene depicted is a conversation between Wei Yuan and Shangguan Pei.

"Huh? A sixth-rank martial artist in his early teens? Born into the Wei family of Yuzhou... Could it be him?"

The elder, dressed in a Taoist robe, had flowing hair and eyes that encompassed the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth, as if he were the embodiment of heaven and earth himself.

He sat among mortals for countless years, single-handedly driving the development of the sorcerer system.

He later personally descended and devised a plan to replace his disciple, the first supervisor.

Isn't the goal simply to cultivate a top-tier martial artist of his own for this land?
Unfortunately... ordinary super-grade items are already extremely rare and difficult to find throughout history.

The ultimate martial artist exists only in theory and deduction; the essence of his life has, to a certain extent, become equivalent to this world.

What an incredible existence it is that a tiny being, born from this world, who seems to float on the surface, grows into a supreme martial artist!
This can be described as creating something out of nothing at the level of rules!
Furthermore... it is also necessary to ensure that this martial artist has no malicious intent and will not choose to cooperate with many superior gods and demons.

This makes them even harder to find!
But... in order to prevent the Heavenly Dao from falling and this great world from being devoured by super-grade gods and demons, he had no choice but to cultivate a gatekeeper for the Heavenly Dao!

And now, the appearance of the young Wei Yuan has finally allowed him to find a glimmer of hope from the chaotic and void of the heavens.

But... talent is only one aspect.

To become a top-tier martial artist, Wei Yuan still needs to combine the fortunes of the Nine Provinces...

This is the most difficult of all the matters.

"However... before that, let's see if you can withstand these tests!"

In the blink of an eye, the sorcerer had already picked up a piece of destiny and placed it on the ethereal chessboard of heaven and earth.

……

Standing in front of the Shangguan family's gate, Li Ming gently raised his eyelids. Under the illumination of his vast mental power, he had already noticed the changes that had occurred in Wei Yuan.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The fish... has taken the bait!"

"what?"

Wei Yuan was somewhat bewildered.

Dawn smiled, his hands behind his back.

"A pie is about to fall from the sky for you! Whether you can eat it or not depends on your skills?"

"pie?"

Wei Yuan was puzzled.

Dawn didn't explain, she just gently patted his shoulder.

"Don't disappoint me, after all... I'm going to take a bite too!"
