Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 191 Proving the Way with Force
After experiencing that wonderful feeling, Li Yao became somewhat addicted and said, "I have been cultivating diligently for so many years, what's wrong with enjoying it a little?"
But after only half a month of enjoying it, some people came to the Yao Guang Holy Land.

The group consisted of a dozen or so beautiful young women, each possessing stunning beauty, with varying figures, some slender and others plump, all with remarkable appearances.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi is even more extraordinary, her white robes fluttering, untouched by worldly dust, like a fairy from the Moon Palace, gracefully standing alone in the mortal world.

"Brother Dao, the Peach Banquet will be held at Yaochi soon. I have come to deliver an invitation and hope that you will grace us with your presence."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was surrounded by a hazy mist, appearing otherworldly, and her face was covered by a white veil, making it difficult to see clearly.

But this is only how it appears to outsiders. Li Yao has profound cultivation and has further developed the Martial Heavenly Eye and the Origin Heavenly Divine Eye, which greatly enhances his eyesight. Even without using these two secret techniques, he can see through the hazy mist around the Yaochi Saintess and the white veil on her face.

It must be said that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi truly deserves to be one of the most beautiful fairies in the Eastern Wilderness. Although when beauty reaches a certain level, it is difficult to distinguish who is superior.

However, women like Yaochi, An Miaoyi, Yan Ruyu, and Yao Xi broke this rule, unlike women who should be born in the mortal world.

Although his mind was racing, it was only a fleeting moment in reality. Li Yao lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Yao Chi. I will definitely attend the banquet."

The Peach Banquet is the most lively event in the Eastern Wilderness. All the powerful forces of the five regions are invited. As one of the most powerful holy lands, Yao Guang is naturally among those invited and is a guest of honor at the event.

"I hope that you will also grace us with your presence at that time, fellow Daoist." The voice of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi rang out like heavenly music.

This time it's not the Holy Land of Yao Guang, but rather the hope that Li Yao will come.

This is completely different from the invitation just now. Yao Guang is Yao Guang, and Li Yao is Li Yao.

As the Lord of Yao Guang, he agreed to go to Yao Chi, but he did not necessarily have to go in person. He only needed to send a powerful figure of considerable influence to represent the Yao Guang Holy Land.

In the past, when the Jade Pool Holy Land held the Peach Banquet, all the Holy Lords would attend, but there were times when they didn't. Jade Pool didn't insist on their attendance.

Upon hearing that the Holy Maiden of Yaochi wished for him to go in person, Li Yao asked with some doubt: "But is there something important happening at this grand event?"

"Brother Dao should also know about the relationship between the Fifth Generation Source Master and Yaochi. He left behind many strange stones and sealed them with Source Techniques. However, now that a long time has passed, those strange stones can no longer be sealed. I hope Brother Dao can lend a hand then."

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi told the truth that although she had invited the ancient Yuanshu family and the reclusive Yuanwang lineage, who in the world did not know that the person closest to the Yuan Celestial Master was the Lord of Yaoguang Holy Land?

Li Yao was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go and bother you then."

"Then we respectfully welcome you, fellow Daoist." The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's voice was clear and melodious, like the cry of a phoenix echoing in a secluded valley, captivating all who heard it.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi has left.

The Jade Pool Holy Land is hosting the Peach Banquet, and many people have been invited. Although she doesn't need to personally visit every place, she does need to personally invite powerful families such as the Jiang family, the Ji family, and the Feng clan.

The main hall fell silent once more, empty and majestic, with only Li Yao standing in it.

"The Yaochi Grand Gathering, if I remember correctly, will be the time for the ancient races to announce their complete emergence. Time is running out, and we must sever our Dao as soon as possible."

The Jade Pool Gathering was undoubtedly an important milestone, after which the ancient royal family began to emerge one after another.

The Eastern Wilderness is only so big. As the most numerous race on this land, the human race will inevitably clash violently with the ancient races after their emergence.

In today's world, not counting the foundations of each family, the human race's strong individuals are far inferior to those of the ancient races.

In the next ten years, the ancient races will continue to squeeze the living space of the human race, and the competition for resources will be extremely fierce.

Among them, the holy land families were relatively fortunate. Although they paid some price, it was not too serious. Although the ancient races were arrogant, they would not go too far when facing the holy lands.

Besides these, other major forces such as the Five Elements Palace, the Illusion Palace, and the Divine Fire Hall are in dire straits.

Although it is not explicitly described in the original work, it is obvious that those major powers were definitely among the first to be impacted after the emergence of the ancient races.

They have the ability, but not the strength, yet they occupy a large amount of resources.

Since the ancient races couldn't take much meat from the holy lands, they would definitely set their sights on these forces.

To be honest, these things have little to do with Yao Guang. Even if the ancient races were to emerge, they would not be able to oppress Yao Guang, since the Dragon Pattern Cauldron has not rusted.

"The powerful are alright; as long as they are willing to bleed, they can overcome the crisis. But the mortals are truly miserable."

Li Yao felt a little heavy-hearted. Even if he stepped in to protect ordinary people, how many could he really protect?
The Yao Guang Holy Land is very powerful, but it's impossible for it to radiate throughout the entire Eastern Wilderness. There are simply too many ancient races scattered throughout the Eastern Wilderness.

"We must cut off the path as soon as possible. Only in this way can we have more say," Li Yao made up his mind.

Although he still didn't know what to cut, it didn't matter anymore. Who said that cutting the Dao meant cutting off something?

Who says that one cannot break through the path of slaying without slaying?
As long as his cultivation continues to improve and reaches a certain limit, then the so-called "divine barrier" can stop him.
Li Yao didn't believe it. Although the Heavenly Barrier of the Dao was insurmountable, it still had its limits. If a person's cultivation reached a certain level, they could definitely ignore this barrier and cross it directly.

Ordinary people certainly couldn't do it, after all, their realms are limited, and without breaking through to a higher realm, they cannot understand the deeper laws of heaven and earth. But Li Yao is different. He has the Heavenly Book, and his understanding of the laws of heaven and earth is not restricted by the Heavenly Barrier of Severing the Dao. As long as he continues to enter the realm of creating laws to comprehend the Dao, his cultivation will not stop improving.

When his cultivation far surpasses that of the Dao-Slaying King, then how can the so-called Dao-Slaying Heavenly Barrier stop him!
A sage must sever good, evil, and his true self to become an indestructible sage. But Pangu said, why bother with all that trouble? When the power is there, can't we just walk over there?

With the Heavenly Book in hand, Li Yao's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. Why would he need to kill someone?
As long as one possesses immense power, there will be no obstacles in his path!
"This is my path, to cut down nothing and prove my way through force." Li Yao's eyes blazed as he surveyed the world with disdain.

Although his cultivation level has not improved in the past six months, his combat power has continued to soar.

He entered the realm of creation several times to comprehend the Dao, and his progress in cultivation was quite evident.

The most obvious point is that it is much easier to enter the Divine Forbidden Transformation; one can enter simply by thinking about it.

His terrifying cultivation level will be unleashed once he enters the realm of divine restrictions, freeing him from the constraints of the eight prohibitions.

Question: Is there a difference between the various divine prohibitions?
Answer: Yes, bro, yes.

There are also differences within the realm of divine prohibitions. This realm has no upper limit, and everyone's understanding of divine prohibitions is different.

The divine restrictions of an ordinary emperor are not the same as those of a ruthless person.

Li Yao cannot remain in the Divine Forbidden Zone for long, so his cultivation level is difficult to fully display in normal times. Once he enters the Divine Forbidden Zone and is freed from the shackles, all his cultivation level is transformed into combat power, and the improvement is far greater than just nine minor realms.

At this moment, even if he had not yet severed his Dao, as long as he stepped into the Divine Forbidden Realm, he was confident that he could suppress and kill even a cultivator in the late stage of the Dao Severing Realm in front of him.

Using the Dark Night King as an anchor, he possesses 60% of the Dark Night King's combat power within the Divine Forbidden Domain. If the All-Word Secret is added, it is estimated that he can reach 80%.

The Dark Night King is a true master of the Great Completion Realm, standing at the pinnacle of the Dao Slaying Realm. He has remained at this realm for thousands of years, and his combat power is at least at the level of the Six Forbidden Realms.

With 80% of his power, the Dark Night King could easily kill a king at the late stage of the Dao-Slaying Realm.

"Once my combat power reaches the full level of Dark Night, perhaps I will be able to cross the Heavenly Barrier of Severing the Dao?" Li Yao predicted in his heart.

Of course, even if it doesn't work, it's okay. If 100% Dark Night isn't enough, then we'll go with 120%, 140%, 160%...

Li Yao refused to believe that a mere chasm could stop him.

Heavenly Book, let this world see our bond...

Li Yao was ignited. He felt invincible, and then... he entered the realm of creation to comprehend the Dao.

It's perfectly normal to have some assistance on the road to success.

"boom!"

The divine powers of the Yin and Yang surged and collided, giving birth to chaotic energy that entered Li Yao's body.

After a six-month break, he will now return to his previous training routine.

Many people in the Yao Guang Holy Land breathed a sigh of relief. For the past six months, they had been extremely worried, fearing that their Holy Lord would be blocked by the Dao-Severing Heavenly Barrier.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, our Holy Lord probably just wants to relax.

Yao Xi was also very happy about this. Although she enjoyed being close to Li Yao, she hoped even more to see Li Yao rise to the top, stand at the very center of the world, and radiate his own light.

Of course, there are some changes; men who have eaten meat find it hard to resist.

Li Yao was very disciplined, but he would still emerge from seclusion every ten days or so to study the Dao of Yin and Yang with Yao Xi.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the grand gathering at Yaochi was about to begin.

Two and a half months have passed, and Li Yao has entered the Creation Realm three times. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, and his combat power has increased again.

Having entered the Divine Forbidden Realm, one should possess 70% of Dark Night's strength. Activating the All-Encompassing Secret can even elevate one to an astonishing 90% of Dark Night's power.

On this day, Li Yao emerged from seclusion, leading several Supreme Elders and Yao Xi to Yaochi.

The Yaochi Sacred Land is located in an absolute pure land for cultivation, shrouded in celestial mist and with beautiful scenery, like a sacred celestial realm.

Unlike Yao Guang Holy Land, although both possess extraordinary scenery, Yao Chi is clearly more ethereal and not as majestic as Yao Guang, but it surpasses it in terms of celestial aura.

They arrived at a moderate time, neither early nor late; they weren't in the first batch, but they weren't the last either.
