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

sizzle-

With its purple and gold wings tearing through the void, it quickly approached the location of the sacrificial spirit.

Along the way, we saw many ancient palaces reduced to ruins, with broken walls and broken tiles everywhere. Under the violent shaking, everything was leveled and turned into ruins.

Even the formations set up by the sages of the past could not protect those giant palaces under the terrifying energy impact.

Feeling the overwhelming power surging above their heads, which resembled the might of heaven, even the mighty Butian Pavilion was almost reduced to scorched earth in an instant!

Fortunately, only the buildings near the site of the sacrificial ceremony were destroyed, and many palaces on the mountain were only slightly affected.

"Offer sacrifice to the spirits!"

Li Dao and Shi Hao rushed into the restricted area one after the other. Seeing the scene before them, Shi Hao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The spirit that was originally on its last breath and exuding an aura of death has disappeared, replaced by a towering tree.

Its branches and leaves formed a canopy that blocked out the sun, exuding a hazy, chaotic atmosphere and a refreshing fragrance, creating a terrifying sight.

When Li Dao saw the towering ancient tree, whose leaves seemed to contain a vast universe, his breath caught in his throat.

The giant tree before him was the most powerful of all the creatures he had ever seen, and the chaotic energy it exuded seemed to pull him back to before the creation of the world.

"This is what the sacrificial spirits truly look like!"

Its roots and stems resembled writhing dragons, and its leaves could blot out the sky. The rustling sound seemed to be the chain of the Great Road surging through the mist and clouds, rather than the ordinary, dying ancient vine it had been before.

Li Dao quickly regained his senses and keenly smelled the bloody stench in the air. Looking around, he immediately saw a huge creature entwined on one of the spirit-sacrificing vines.

The vines, as green as divine golden spears, pierced straight through the enormous creature, and blood, radiating a five-colored divine light, dripped down the vines.

"What is that?!"

Shi Hao was also shocked when he saw the colossal creature; its power was beyond words.

"That's a humanoid creature! He's not dead yet!"

Li Dao's eyes shone brightly as the enormous creature came into view. Its pure white wings blotted out the sky and emitted a shimmering, precious light. Stained with five-colored blood, it appeared even more ferocious.

Below him emerged a pair of powerful, rune-wrapped feet that seemed poised to shatter the space around them. His face was exceptionally handsome, with a vertical pupil between his brows.

Even though his body was pierced, lightning flashed between the opening and closing of his vertical pupils, with billions of lightning bolts shooting out, rumbling as if to shatter the sky.

He was not dead yet; he was still struggling, and the flesh and blood churned up where he had been pierced, as if trying to heal.

His head of golden hair was as if cast in gold, radiating light like a blazing sun, with a pair of purple dragon horns appearing between his strands.

However, just as the humanoid creature was struggling to break free, the sacrificial spirit was not idle either.

On the vine, a green gourd swayed gently, emitting profound and resonant divine sounds, filled with chaotic energy that absorbed all the lightning.

Li Dao saw a flash of despair in the golden eyes of the humanoid beast.

The green gourd shook again, and the Dao essence spread out like ripples, tearing through the lightning. The humanoid beast's vertical pupils exploded, and blood splattered into the air.

The pair of purple dragon horns, shrouded in runes, on the humanoid beast's head also shattered as the green gourd shook.

The vine that had pierced the body shuddered, and the tips of the vines, like divine weapons, curled back and pierced directly through the head of the humanoid beast.

The sky was filled with dense runes, like the chanting of gods. As the great battle came to an end, the runes gradually disappeared into the void.

Li Dao and Shi Hao stood to one side, watching everything that was happening before them, their emotions surging and difficult to contain.

The humanoid beast in mid-air was quickly engulfed by the Dao Fire, its body gradually becoming ethereal. Its essence, along with its bones, was refined and transformed into wisps of divine light that entered the sacrificial spirit's body.

The humanoid beast turned into ashes, and the spirit that blotted out the sun also shrank rapidly, transforming back into an old vine.

The base of the plant is faintly glowing, the light spreading in all directions.

Meanwhile, the cracked earth slowly healed, and the sacred mountains that had fallen into the abyss rose again.

Even the collapsed palaces, as if touched by a spring breeze, were revitalized and restored to their original state as if by divine intervention.

Looking at the sickly old vine before him, it was hard to connect it with the existence that had suppressed and killed a terrifying beast.

Even though Li Dao knew that the sacrificial spirit was extremely powerful, he only realized how terrifying it was when he actually faced it.

"I am about to pass away."

An old, distant voice rang in their ears, its tone carrying an indescribable weariness and vicissitude.

"Lord Priest, how could someone so powerful perish..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao retorted in disbelief, though his tone gradually softened.

"It's all show and no substance; it's rotten inside." Old Vine whispered, speaking to the two of them as well as to the higher-ups of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

Several other elders from the Butian Pavilion had also arrived, standing silently to one side, their expressions varying as they conveyed grief, helplessness, and guilt.

"It is because we are useless that the Sacrificial Spirit Lord has to carry the entire Heaven-Mending Pavilion forward alone!"

An old ancestor lowered his head, his face full of remorse.

"But you came at the wrong time, and I can no longer wait for you to grow up. Everything is preordained by fate!"

Wu Yuan and the others also turned their gazes to Li Dao and the other two, their eyes filled with regret.

If they had appeared sooner, if the sacrificial spirits could have survived for a few more years, if they could have managed to hold on...

Li Dao and the other man also looked very serious. They firmly believed that if given more time, they would definitely be able to protect the Butian Pavilion!

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"How's the plan going?"

Old Vine's words broke the silence of the group.

Chapter 135 Refining the Body with Sun Essence, Nourishing the Spirit with Moonlight

Wu Yuan forcibly suppressed the grief and resentment in his heart and respectfully addressed the old vine:

"Reporting to the High Priest, all the disciples from various races who came to study have been sent back, and the geniuses within the pavilion are also preparing to be secretly sent out."

"I have already sent a distress message to my disciples who have graduated from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion in the Great Wilderness."

Old Vine nodded, and his aged voice drifted over:

"Hurry up and send them out to preserve the flame of my Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

"You two little ones can come along too. We old folks will take care of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Li Dao, who was listening from the side, frowned, bowed to Lao Teng and Wu Yuan, and then spoke:

"The fact that the matter of the spirit offering was discovered by outsiders so quickly suggests that there must be an inside agent within the pavilion. Sending out so many seeds of fire may actually lead to them falling into someone else's trap."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan's expression changed. The roots of the old vine, hidden in the earth, flashed with divine light and slowly swept across the entire Heaven-Mending Pavilion, as if to expose all the demons and monsters.

The other elders exchanged bewildered glances, clearly as Li Dao's words had precisely addressed their greatest concern.

"We don't have much time left. It seems we have no choice but to send those talented disciples into the various tribes."

Wu Yuan sighed and said no more, wanting to discuss the matter further with the other elders.

At this moment, an elder stepped forward and said sorrowfully to the old vine:

"Please, Lord Spirit, leave behind the divine seed. Once the Heaven-Mending Pavilion has survived this calamity, and one day it returns to the Great Wilderness, you may once again manifest your divine power in the world!"

Hearing his words, Old Vine's deathly aura dissipated slightly, and he said with magnanimity:

"A thousand years from now, perhaps a similar vine will appear, but it will never be me again."

"However, it is already a blessing to have a familiar flower that is stirring up vitality in the world, and I will keep it."

The green gourd on the old vine swayed slightly, as if responding to what he said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan and the other elders' expressions of grief deepened. A sacrificial spirit who had guarded the Heaven-Mending Pavilion since ancient times was about to leave them, and they were naturally very reluctant to part with him.

However, Old Vine was quite open-minded. As one of the most powerful beings in the Great Wilderness, he had witnessed too much joy and sorrow, too much life and death, and he took everything in stride.

The passage of time has buried too much.

Li Dao and Shi Hao, standing to the side, felt the sacrificial spirit's power slowly returning, but their sorrowful expressions deepened.

While they were still discussing how to deal with the calamity, tens of thousands of miles away from the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, a ferocious bird was heading towards the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

Its size blots out the sky and covers thousands of miles, its eyes are as large as lakes and as red as two blood moons.

"Heh, so the old man finally couldn't hold on any longer? The divine seed can only be mine!"

With a single flap of its wings, the continuous mountain range below was completely obscured by its dark shadow.

In another realm, a figure shrouded in light and shadow gazed in the direction of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, murmuring to himself:

"Hundreds of years ago, it was said that He was about to die, and those who went to him were all killed. Now the rumors have spread again, and some people have not believed them and have been killed again."

"They really don't learn their lesson."

The words flowed leisurely, and with one step, a golden road rose beneath his feet, and he vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, in different directions, mysterious figures departed one after another. Having witnessed the death of the humanoid beast, they stopped lingering and disappeared from the spot.

Li and Dao left the forbidden area where the sacrificial ceremony was held, their hearts heavy. What happened next was beyond their control, so they left.

He had already told the ancestors the possible solutions he could think of; as for how to resolve them, that was up to them.

After that day, the Butian Pavilion was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, and many disciples were discussing it excitedly.

They all witnessed the miracle performed by the Sacrificial Spirit on that day, and they all believed that the Sacrificial Spirit had achieved Nirvana and reached a new level of strength.

In contrast to the disciples' optimism, the elders appeared worried, their faces full of sorrow, and Li Dao noticed their conflicted expressions.

However, at this moment, the only thing he could do was to continuously improve his cultivation level and prepare for the upcoming turmoil.

Therefore, as soon as he returned to the courtyard, he took out the resources that the Pavilion Master had promised last time from the treasure room, preparing to cultivate and comprehend the Dao in seclusion.

In the courtyard, Li Dao took out a considerable amount of resources and addressed Li Jiaojiao, Hei Sha, and Xiao Hua:

"Practice diligently, for the days to come will be turbulent."

The man and the two beasts nodded in unison. Seeing that Li Dao's brows had not relaxed, they knew that the situation was not as optimistic as the rumors outside made them alarm bells.

With their respective cultivation resources, they were already eager to improve their strength.

After arranging all his affairs, Li Dao also retreated to his cultivation room to begin his secluded life of cultivation.

He sat cross-legged on the futon, the Yin-Yang axis unfolding beneath his feet, his whole body surrounded by wisps of mysterious aura.
