Perfect World: The First Dao Body in the Chaotic Era!

Sensing Xia Youyu's complicated gaze, Li Dao, though knowing the female war goddess meant well, still refused.

"I was born in the vast wilderness and grew up in a place where ferocious beasts roamed. Fortunately, I was able to study scriptures and learn magic at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"With the sect in trouble at this time, how can we retreat to save ourselves?"

"Thank you very much, senior sister. I appreciate your kindness."

The female warrior nodded, not surprised by Li Dao's choice. She had always felt that she got along well with the group and considered them friends.

These are words I shouldn't have said, but I still wanted to try. Seeing the other party refuse, I felt a strange sense of relief.

Turning their gaze to Shi Hao, they saw him wave his hand dismissively, saying:

"It's just a battle, what's there to fear?"

"All the mountains under heaven are the same; wherever you die, you will be buried there!"

Li Dao chuckled, the inexplicable tension in his heart easing involuntarily. He smiled and raised his glass, saying:

"Indeed, as Shi Hao said, it will only be one battle in the end, so what is there to fear!"

"Come, let's raise a glass to the fearless!"

The others also raised their glasses with smiles, and the previously heavy atmosphere dissipated.

"Homage to Tomorrow!"

"Respect without restraint!"

"Respect to Xiaoyao!"

Chapter 133 The Sword of Heart Forging

The next morning, Li Dao, Shi Hao, and the others arrived at the gate of Butian Pavilion and watched as the female war goddess and the others slowly disappeared into the distant horizon.

Shi Hao looked at Li Dao beside him and asked curiously:

"What are your plans next, Senior Brother Li?"

Li Dao's eyes were deep and unfathomable. Now that he knew a great battle was inevitable, he naturally had to prepare as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Shi Hao:

"Next, you should cultivate diligently. But what about you? It's already this late, aren't you still going to find Ancestor Mu Yan?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's expression changed, and without saying a word, he vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Li Dao shook his head and returned to his courtyard.

Without lingering, he turned and entered his own cultivation room.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, a jade slip emitting a strange fluctuation floated in front of him. He slowly probed into it with his divine sense, and all sorts of records about the Heart Sword immediately flooded into his mind.

"The sword is forged with the divine, and nourished by the divine; with a single thought, it can slay the gods of the heavens."

"The sword of the heart slays both gods and spirits!"

Li Dao sensed the strange Dao essence contained within the Heart Sword, and his mind naturally became immersed in it.

The divine power within his body slowly began to circulate, and following the instructions on the jade slip, he began to hammer his primordial spirit as if it were a small sword.

The primordial spirit, radiating golden light and nourished by the power of the moon, appeared exceptionally clear and bright. Using thought as a hammer, it struck towards the primordial spirit.

hum-

As soon as the first hammer fell, strange ripples spread across the primordial spirit.

Li Dao's face turned pale involuntarily; that hammer blow seemed to have completely drained his energy and spirit.

"This cultivation method is truly brutal and direct!"

"However, striking the primordial spirit with mental energy can improve its quality and allow for spiritual reshaping as soon as possible!"

Divine power continuously flowed into the nearly shattered primordial spirit, and after it healed, Li Dao resumed his path of self-repair.

While Li Daoshang was still cultivating, something significant happened within the Patching Heaven Pavilion.

First, the geniuses of various tribes within the Butian Pavilion were sent back, a move that was also known to outsiders.

Inside the familiar main hall of the Rain King's Mansion, many elders gathered together, having already discussed how to deal with the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"A message came from the disciples of the Rain King's Mansion in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion: the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has begun to repatriate its disciples. It seems that their sacrificial spirits are truly failing."

"Let's lead the prodigies of the Rain Prince's Mansion to seize this opportunity."

A burly man, shirtless and wielding a large sword, emerged from the vast forest of Xiling Beast Mountain, the words of the clan elder still echoing in his ears.

"If you can't get Li Zizai's head, then don't bother coming back."

"If you can retrieve it, I will forgive you for failing in your duty to protect the Way."

He walked silently across the Great Wilderness, heading towards the direction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

In the Tuoba family's ancestral land, rows of cultivators, dressed in armor and holding spears, also headed towards the Butian Pavilion.

For a time, all eyes in the lower realm were on the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Amidst these changing circumstances, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was once again in the eye of the storm.

An atmosphere of urgency began to permeate the Butian Pavilion, and many disciples were sent down the mountain.

However, Li Dao remained completely undisturbed in his small courtyard, shutting out all the disturbances of the outside world.

Shi Hao returned from the forbidden area where the spirit was being worshipped, his eyes filled with solemnity. He stopped in his tracks as he passed by the small courtyard where Li Dao was.

The sounds of knocking emanating from within penetrated deep into his soul, lessening his anxiety somewhat.

This sound has been ringing for more than half a month, and every time he passes by, he feels a sense of spiritual cleansing, which fascinates him.

However, the sound slowly stopped a moment later, and in its place, a voice resounded in one's mind:

"Come in and let's talk."

crunch--

As soon as the door opened, Shi Hao knew that Li Dao had woken up from his seclusion, and without thinking twice, he stepped inside.

In a small pavilion in the courtyard, Li Dao appeared out of nowhere, exuding an ethereal aura.

As his gaze swept over, Shi Hao's body trembled involuntarily, as if he had seen a sharp sword about to be drawn, about to shred his primordial spirit.

Approaching him, his eyes were filled with surprise, and as soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to speak:

"Senior Brother Li, has your cultivation level broken through again?"

Li Dao smiled and nodded, poured a cup of tea and placed it beside him, then slowly said:

"I have gained some insights from this retreat."

A wisp of pure energy swirled around his body, making him appear like a detached immortal, with Daoist principles accompanying every gesture.

Li Dao sensed the Dao and principles imprinted between heaven and earth, and was involuntarily drawn in, becoming one with heaven and earth and resonating with nature.

Shi Hao, who was opposite him, also sensed the strangeness in Li Dao. The rich Dao energy around him gave him a sense of sudden realization.

Shi Hao's various actions were all observed by him. He had not expected that the initial tempering of the Heart Sword would bring such great benefits to his primordial spirit.

The primordial spirit was tempered and refined to become purer, and its understanding and comprehension of the Great Dao were improved.

This further enhanced his combat power, and at this point, without any modesty, he could be said to be invincible among those of the same realm.

"You just came out of the pass today, what's the situation outside?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's expression gradually became solemn, and he said in a somewhat somber tone:

"Many people have left the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"Several forces are approaching the Heaven-Mending Pavilion; a great battle is about to begin."

Li Dao's eyes were deep and unfathomable; he had already anticipated this situation.

He patted Shi Hao on the shoulder, about to say something more, when a deafening sound rang out.

Rumbling--

The earth trembled, and the tea in the cups splashed out. The two people's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this, and they immediately arrived in the void. In the distance, they saw a sacred mountain suddenly sink.

They plunged into a black abyss, and this was only the beginning. Like dominoes being toppled, seven or eight more sacred mountains were in the same predicament, which was terrifying.

"The enemy is coming!"

Li Dao's eyes flashed with divine light as he saw black fissures opening up across the earth, rapidly devouring everything around them. He spoke in a solemn tone.

Shi Hao looked at everything that was happening in front of him with a very solemn expression. He never expected it to happen so suddenly.

However, seeing that the black rift was heading straight towards the forbidden area where the spirit was located, his expression turned very ugly.

"Is the spirit about to pass away?"

Click, click—

The moment the words were spoken, the speed at which the rift spread suddenly accelerated, as if more than ten thousand earth dragons were turning over. In just an instant, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was shattered into pieces!

Looking down from high above, the black cracks resembled a spider web, trapping the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the middle, threatening to tear it apart completely.

Chapter 134 Divine Vine

Shi Hao clenched his fists, looking at the pure land that was once filled with celestial mist and where cranes soared, now turned into ruins in the blink of an eye, and a deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

Li Dao narrowed his eyes, feeling an invisible pressure. In an instant, half or six-tenths of the Butian Pavilion was destroyed, but he hadn't even seen where the enemy was.

His divine senses spread out and he immediately sensed that it all started from the forbidden area where the sacrificial spirit was located.

"go!"

He said something to Shi Hao, and with a whoosh, his purple-gold wings flapped behind him, and he immediately rushed towards the forbidden area where the spirit was located.

At the same time, seeing the spiritual mountains shatter as the cracks spread, all the disciples in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were thrown into panic.

Li Jiaojiao had just come out of the cultivation room when she was met with collapsed ruins. Before she could think any further, she was taken away by Hei Sha.

"My master instructed me to hurry towards the center of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion!"

"Let's hurry and find Xiaohua!"

Many forces, thousands of miles away from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, felt the earth trembling slightly and quickened their pace.
