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

"If we can befriend them, it will be of great benefit to our mermaid clan. I hope the princess will seize this opportunity."

Qingwei naturally understood what the elder meant, her face flushed, but she didn't say anything more.

As the most talented member of her clan, she did have to consider the clan's strength, but she lacked confidence. Even her much-praised beauty had not previously stirred any emotion in Li Dao's eyes.

"Sister, where is Brother Li Dao?"

Qing Su, dressed in a silk skirt, ran over with a rosy face, clearly having dressed up carefully. However, she couldn't find Li Dao on the deck.

His lips twitched, and he immediately thought of a certain possibility, becoming somewhat sullen as he said:

"That damn Li Dao, he actually abandoned me and ran away again!"

Meanwhile, Li Dao was rushing forward according to the map on the jade slip. With one step, ripples appeared on the sea surface, and his figure appeared a hundred meters away.

However, just as they reached an island with jagged rocks, Li Dao suddenly stopped.

The voice, detached as a celestial sound, spread outwards.

"You've followed me for so long, why don't you come out for a chat?"

hum-

A strange ripple emanated from his body, spreading outwards. The void trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment, and the sea beneath his feet erupted with water columns several meters high.

The atmosphere froze for a few moments, and just as Li Dao thought he was mistaken, a melodious, bell-like voice rang out.

"Little brother, your perception is really good; you were able to detect me."

"It's really surprising me more and more."

Li Dao looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw a curvaceous young woman slowly emerging from the void.

The girl was young, but her long legs were fair and straight, and her eyes and brows were captivatingly beautiful. Her black hair fluttered behind her head, giving off a faint fragrance.

She exudes an ethereal beauty, yet remains unassuming.

Seeing the cunning glint in the woman's eyes, Li Dao immediately thought of a name, but remained expressionless.

hum-

He raised his hand and pulled the Dragon Spear from the void, pointing it directly at the woman:

"Who are you, and what are your intentions in following me?"

When the witch saw Li Dao's calm and unwavering eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in her own. The only people who could look at her so calmly were either ancient monsters with profound cultivation or those ancient geniuses sealed in the present world.

Now, seeing Li Dao again, if it weren't for the inability to sense the passage of time emanating from him, one would think he was some ancient prodigy.

"Hehe, little brother and sister came to find you because they've taken a liking to you!"

"How about it? Following your sister, I promise you'll have no worries about food and clothing, and your cultivation will advance unparalleled!"

As she blinked, her eyes emitted wisps of pink light, exuding an alluring charm.

Chapter 166 Extreme Yang Cave

Her figure transformed into pink petals, instantly appearing beside Li Dao, and she whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids:

"As for my name, people call me the witch, or they can call me the celestial fox fairy."

As Li Dao felt the delicate fragrance of a virgin constantly entering his nostrils, he frowned and quickly retreated.

The long spear in his hand emanated killing intent as he aimed it at the witch, his tone unfriendly:

"Explain your purpose, or I wouldn't mind a fight."

Seeing Li Dao's flustered appearance, the witch chuckled and stopped teasing him, smiling sweetly as she said:

"Alright, little brother and sister were just joking."

"I've come here, naturally, to seek cooperation with you."

Li Dao listened quietly to what was to come, and the witch, without hesitation, lightly touched her lips with her finger and leisurely began to speak:

"Many important figures have arrived at Kunpeng Nest. Interested in making a quick buck?"

"This is my spiritual body, but it's not strong enough, so I'm asking you for cooperation. What do you think?"

Seeing the excitement flash in the witch's eyes, Li Dao couldn't help but break out in a few black lines on his forehead, inwardly thinking:

"She truly lives up to her name as a witch."

After thinking for a moment, he refused:

"I have other things to do, so you should find someone else."

His most pressing task is to improve his cultivation. Although he is confident in his strength within the Kunpeng Nest, he still needs to be careful of those arrayed formations and even the spiritual bodies of Venerables.

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry." Only by increasing our strength can we compete with those terrifying beings for the Kunpeng's treasure.

Seeing that Li Dao refused, the witch immediately spoke up:

"Don't be so quick to refuse. You're going to cultivate and break through your cultivation level, right? I have a treasure here that can help you. I'm sure you'll like it."

"How about you consider my terms before you refuse?"

Li Dao nodded and looked at her. The witch chuckled and flipped her hand, revealing a jade tablet engraved with the character 'Heaven'.

"This is a one-time use treasure that can temporarily conceal your aura, allowing you to avoid the restrictions of this great formation even under its influence."

"I obtained this in a secret realm. Although it's somewhat useless, it should be very helpful to you."

A glint of light flashed in Li Dao's eyes as he saw the sword-shaped token and couldn't help but be tempted.

Having this treasure means that one can unleash attacks beyond the Spirit Transformation Realm within the Kunpeng Nest. Although it may only be a single strike, it would still be a trump card.

More importantly, as long as you avoid the restrictions and blockades, you can break through to the Inscription Realm!

He gave the witch a deep look; this was a scheme laid out before him.

As long as there is hope of advancing his inscription here, he will inevitably seek out resources, and plundering from witches is the fastest way to obtain resources.

Although it's a scheme, it's an open one, and seeing such benefits, there's no reason not to take them.

Why are you helping me?

The witch tossed the jade pendant over, chuckling as she said:

"Of course it's fun!"

"However, of course I'm also considering investing in you, so don't let me down."

"We will meet outside the Kunpeng Nest three months from now. I imagine your strength will be even greater by then."

"Before that, I'll find another accomplice...

Li Dao accepted the token, looked at the character 'Heaven' filled with profound Daoist meaning, and thanked the witch in the direction she disappeared.

Immediately, he turned and left the spot, and two days later he finally arrived at the sea area where the Xuanbing Abyss and Yangji Cave were hidden.

As soon as Li Daogang arrived, he saw a large number of people gathered nearby, presumably drawn by the unusual situation.

"On the seabed, there is a Yang-type cave that is as hot as magma, and a Xuanbing Abyss that is as cold as the deepest hell. I wonder if it contains rare and precious treasures?"

"Ha, 'heavenly treasures' indeed! Anyone who goes in is either turned to ashes or ice shards in no time. It's not a place for ordinary people!"

"Such danger is something that only Venerables and Kings of Formations could possibly enter. Anyone else going in would only be courting death!"

As Li Dao listened to their conversation, a look of joy appeared in his eyes; he had clearly come to the right place.

His figure moved like a ghost, and in the blink of an eye he arrived above the Extreme Yang Cave. Feeling the intense heat beneath him, he stepped inside.

Meanwhile, Li Dao's situation also caught the attention of the others. Seeing him walking straight towards the Extreme Yang Cave, someone immediately spoke up:

"Fellow Daoist, the area below is a forbidden zone. What are you trying to do..."

The companion next to the man who spoke tugged at him in annoyance, presumably wanting to see Li Dao make a fool of himself, and thus preventing the man from advising Li Dao.

"It's nothing."

Li Dao glanced at the other person, a burly man with an honest face, and without saying anything more, headed downwards.

After Li Dao went down, those people also came over. Watching Li Dao slowly walk towards the Extreme Yang Cave, some of them said disdainfully:

"Old Liu, why bother stopping this clown? Just enjoy the show."

"They're just people who don't know their own limitations. It's better for them to die here than outside."

"Hey, I just thought I'd stop that guy because he's young."

The honest-looking man scratched his head, but his eyes remained fixed on Li Dao, a hint of anticipation in his heart.

Li Dao was completely unaware of the conversation behind him, and in a few steps he arrived at the entrance of the Extreme Yang Cave.

Upon seeing the three large characters 'Jiyang Cave' imprinted on the cliff face, one can immediately feel a strong, scorching aura emanating from it.

Seawater continuously turned into white vapor, and a ferocious beast coiled at the entrance of the Extreme Yang Cave amidst terrifying high temperatures.

Li Dao's body was enveloped in divine light. With a thought, the Xuanhuang Furnace appeared. With a wave of his hand, the intense heat in front of him was instantly torn apart.

Tread-

With one step, he steadily entered the Extreme Yang Cave. Li Dao caught a glimpse of white bones that had already turned into jade and were still slowly melting. He knew that these were the cultivators who had entered the Extreme Yang Cave earlier.

hum-

The moment he stepped in, waves of heat enveloped him, and ripples surged across the Xuanhuang Furnace.

"Disperse!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the heat dissipated once more, and Li Dao immediately strode forward.

Those outside stared wide-eyed as Li Daozhen went inside.

"They actually let him in?"

"Who is this person? Ordinary cultivators would have reached their limit here, but this person is still moving forward. It's terrifying!"

"Moreover, his cultivation level is only at the mid-stage of the Spirit Transformation realm. Could such strength be the monstrous genius from some hidden sect?"

The cultivators who had previously doubted Li Dao's intention to merely watch the spectacle became excited upon seeing him actually step into the Extreme Yang Cave.

"I wonder if there's some amazing treasure inside? If there is, this kid has hit the jackpot; it's too good for him!"

"Hehe, this is because they have real talent and skills. If we had the ability, we would have gone down there long ago!"
