"The physical body has already achieved sainthood, it's time to proceed to that next step: tempering the body with the essence of the sun!"

A glint of light flashed in his eyes; he already had a plan for his next stage of cultivation.

At this point, his body could withstand the tempering of the sun's essence, so what he needed to do next was to draw on the sun's essence to temper his body and draw on the moon's radiance to refine his spirit!

His eyes slowly closed, and the black lotus in front of him emitted a faint divine light. In just an instant, Li Dao's body trembled violently as he felt a violent energy, full of intense heat, surging through his bones and flesh.

Li Dao was shocked. He had only drawn a wisp of the sun's essence into his body, yet his physique already felt an overwhelming pressure.

However, without giving up in the slightest, strands of solar essence entered his body, and when his bones and flesh were damaged, he immediately drew upon divine power to repair them.

In this back-and-forth, destruction and repair reached a strange balance.

He also clearly felt his physique rapidly increasing.

The one person and two beasts who were also cultivating in the courtyard were the ones who could best understand Li Dao's changes.

The daytime is like a raging fire, and the nighttime is like the deepest darkness.

And amidst these changes, their cultivation speed also increased considerably.

Li Dao sat on the futon, with the Divine Ring of the Cave Heaven hanging behind him, swallowing the gushing essence. The small courtyard suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

While Li Dao was cultivating, things were changing rapidly in the outside world.

As time goes by, some forces that have grudges against the Heaven-Mending Pavilion are constantly gathering towards it.

The once fervent disciples, upon seeing the increasingly deserted Patching Heaven Pavilion, felt a sense of crisis enveloping the entire pavilion.

However, with many elders leading the way, people's hearts did not scatter; on the contrary, they became more and more united.

Chapter 136 Slaying Four Clans of Cultivators

March passed by in a flash.

The area surrounding Butian Pavilion has been largely abandoned in just a few months, with the once well-maintained medicine garden now in ruins.

Further away, traces of blood that had not yet congealed could still be faintly seen.

Since the beginning of the past three months, the prestige of the Butian Pavilion has been declining, and many forces that were blocking its way have sent spies to test its strength.

Therefore, conflict between the two sides is inevitable.

Although many of the geniuses in the Heaven-Mending Pavilion were sent away, quite a few disciples stayed behind, determined to live and die with the sect.

Instead of falling apart, people's hearts became even more united.

In the abandoned medicine garden of Butian Pavilion, hundreds of members from the four major families of Li, Yuan, Kun and Meng stepped into the place.

Seeing the desolate scene around them, the leaders of the four tribes all revealed a look of fanaticism.

"This once sacred land is now so desolate; how unpredictable life truly is!"

"Hmph, that little bastard is still inside the Heaven-Mending Pavilion. Let's storm in and kill him to restore the honor of our four clans!"

"The Heaven-Mending Pavilion is already so dilapidated. With so many of us rushing in, we might just be able to strike at its heart! Slay the brat and seize the opportunity to enter the Pure Land!"

When Shi Hao was mentioned, their faces turned murderous, but then they were attracted by the accumulation of the Butian Pavilion over the years.

However, these people did not realize that their whereabouts had been exposed long ago.

Shi Hao and his fellow disciples stood in the shadows, their eyes filled with murderous intent as they watched the people of the four clans sneak towards the Heaven-Mending Pavilion.

"These guys are just like hyenas. If it weren't for the impending catastrophe, they wouldn't have a chance to run around!"

"You ruthless junior brother, tell us what to do. Today, all of us senior brothers and sisters will follow your orders!"

Shi Hao was deeply moved upon hearing this. He had a feud with the four clans, and they had come for him, but these senior brothers and sisters resolutely stood up for him.

This warmth will be etched in my heart.

However, he quickly regained his composure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said:

Kill! Leave no one alive!

As soon as the words fell, many disciples of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion made their moves, unleashing a series of magical techniques and divine abilities.

The cultivators of the four races, who were just thinking about how to seize the treasures left behind by the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, were stunned when they saw the attacks coming from all directions.

His previously aggressive and confident demeanor suddenly changed, and he immediately began to flee.

After all, talk is cheap. If the Butian Pavilion really takes action, their escape will be nothing but a pipe dream, even though escaping is a pipe dream at this point.

These families were all there to freeload and take advantage of the chaos. They were sent to investigate and find out what was going on. When they saw that the Heaven-Mending Pavilion still had so many fighters, they were terrified.

Although they were just small fry, they had offended the Butian Pavilion, and Shi Hao and his group had no intention of letting them go.

"What do you think the Heaven-Mending Pavilion is? You think you can come and go as you please!"

sizzle-

Shi Hao, his body crackling with lightning, crashed into the center of the crowd, instantly killing several or even more cultivators from the four races.

"You deserve to die!"

A middle-aged man who was still on the run saw his offspring shattered and his eyes turned bloodshot. He immediately turned back and charged back.

The middle-aged man was clearly a master; he quickly held off Shi Hao and fought him to a standstill.

"Whoever dares to act recklessly in my Heaven-Mending Pavilion will die today!" From behind, a man in his late twenties leaped out and charged straight at the middle-aged man, his magical technique shooting out from his fingertips.

"It's Senior Brother Lin! He hasn't left yet! He's still in the sect!" Many disciples' eyes lit up with joy when they saw the newcomer.

This is a renowned genius disciple in the sect, deeply loved and respected by his fellow disciples.

Following Senior Brother Lin, several elders emerged from behind, unleashing terrifying magical techniques and divine powers.

"Even if my Heaven-Mending Pavilion is in decline, it is not a place for you ants to run rampant!"

In just a few exchanges, dozens more people perished, the sky was covered with runes, and blood flowers bloomed on the earth.

The strongest members of the four races running at the forefront watched their clansmen being slaughtered like chickens and dogs, their hearts bleeding.

But they dared not stop; their will to survive surged forth, making them move even faster.

"As long as we break through, we have a chance to survive!"

"Hold on, everyone!"

However, just as they were being slaughtered and fleeing in disarray, a figure drifted down from the void.

Li Dao stared intently at the four clans' cultivators, their eyes bloodshot like those of ferocious beasts, charging towards them.

When the strongest members of the four clans saw Li Dao blocking their way, a ferocious look appeared on their faces.

"You ungrateful brat! Die!"

Li Dao's expression remained unchanged in the face of their roars; he simply raised his hand slowly.

"Heart Sword, strike!"

His face remained calm and expressionless as he raised his right hand and gently slashed forward.

hum-

A golden heart sword, its outline already beginning to take shape, trembled slightly within his body, and in an instant, an invisible slash burst forth from his body.

The four clans' cultivators, their faces contorted with rage and ready to attack, found themselves confronted by a colossal sword reaching to the heavens. As a beam of sword light struck, they instinctively channeled their divine power to form a protective shield.

The sword light passed through the protective barrier without any hindrance, and also through their bodies.

Click, click—

The sound of shattering porcelain filled the air, and dozens of figures rushing towards him were instantly frozen in place.

They were unharmed, but their life force was extinguished the instant the invisible sword light struck.

The many disciples of the Butian Pavilion who were chasing behind were also shocked by what they saw.

Thump thump—

Before they could react, one after another, cultivators from the four races fell to the ground, lifeless.

Li Dao's figure was also exposed to everyone's eyes, and many disciples recognized him.

"It's Senior Brother Li Zizai! He hasn't left yet!"

"It really is Senior Brother! It seems they were right when they said Senior Brother Li was in seclusion!"

When Shi Hao saw Li Dao emerge from seclusion, he smiled, while the elders behind him were filled with shock.

Looking at the cultivators from the four races who had no injuries on their bodies but whose primordial spirits were shattered, they exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with horror.

As the battle came to an end, hundreds of cultivators from the four races were reduced to ashes, causing some opportunistic forces to waver even more and quietly retreat.

This battle was incredibly decisive, and Li Dao's appearance gave the other disciples immense confidence.

Li Dao returned to the small courtyard and sat on the pavilion. Golden Dao marks flashed across his body, and with a wave of his divine sense, he could see the entire area within a radius of dozens of miles as if he were looking at the lines on his palm.

A small golden sword emanated from his body, radiating sharp light, and appeared in his hand with a wave of his hand.

This is his Heart Sword, which he has cultivated to a certain level, capable of penetrating the body.

In three months, his strength improved dramatically, especially his primordial spirit, which greatly made up for his shortcomings.

Chapter 137 The War Begins!

The Heart Sword swayed slightly in his hand, its tip slicing through the void, causing space to distort.

With a flick of his hand, the Heart Sword vanished into thin air. Looking behind him, he saw Li Jiaojiao standing there gracefully.

"Jiaojiao, what happened?"

Li Jiaojiao bit her lip, slowly walked to Li Dao's side, looked at his angular face, a hint of bewilderment flashing in her eyes, and couldn't help but speak:

"Brother... Junior Brother Li, my sect leader wants me to leave first and follow Xiao Tian and the others."

"To preserve the flame of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion."

Li Dao didn't notice her unusual behavior; he had already anticipated this day. He nodded to her and said:

"It's better to leave sooner, so that we can still retain some hope..."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Jiaojiao spoke again:
