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

The jubilant atmosphere in Jinyu Village due to Li Dao's return immediately turned solemn as everyone focused on absorbing the resources at hand.

Two months have passed in a flash.

During this period, vortexes of vital energy frequently surged forth within Golden Feather Village, indicating that many people had broken through their cultivation levels.

On the altar, Li Dao remained seated calmly, the divine crystal before him now gone, its five hearts facing the sky.

He exuded an indescribable aura, with wisps of divine light emanating from his pores.

His skin shimmered with a golden luster, like a golden statue, which, simply by sitting there, possessed the power to suppress the winds and rains of heaven and earth.

With a simple hand gesture, the numerous precious medicines placed before him instantly transformed into streams of pure energy, rushing into Li Dao's body.

Beneath him, a massive Yin-Yang axis slowly unfolded, and the image of the Kunpeng gradually appeared, tearing at the surrounding space. With a gentle turn, it created an image of Yin and Yang being reversed.

Meanwhile, within the bones and flesh of the body, the Dao patterns engraved from the Dao Seed of Flesh and Blood slowly spread out, growing deeper into the flesh and blood.

hum-

After those Dao patterns grew beyond a certain limit, Li Dao's aura trembled, and a crisp sound exploded within his body.

Immediately afterwards, his power surged upwards, directly breaking into the mid-stage of the Inscription Realm.

The sun god mark on his body resonated with the Dao patterns engraved on the seed, slowly nourishing his physique.

Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, his eyes surging with yin and yang energies, and his imposing aura reached a new level.

Every gesture he made exuded immense power, and his eyes were so sharp they seemed to see through all illusions.

"Having digested the various insights gained over the past two years, my cultivation has greatly improved, and even my cultivation level has been raised to the mid-stage of inscription."

"It shouldn't be long before he breaks through to the later stage; such speed is quite fast."

With a wave of his hand, an altar leading to the Void God Realm appeared before him. This was his only way of knowing information about the outside world, and the Void God Realm was the best place to learn about the outside world.

The moment they stepped onto it, the scenery before them changed instantly, and they found themselves in the Realm of the Gods.

As I stepped through the familiar passage to the starting point and entered the starting point plaza, I immediately heard a chorus of voices.

"Does any fellow Daoist know what happened in the capital of the Stone Kingdom a few days ago?"

"I heard that a Venerable One was involved that day, and even the Stone Emperor had to step in. The scene was quite spectacular. I wonder what happened?"

"Heh, I heard it was the commotion caused by the Martial King's Mansion. An old ancestor who was training outside returned, only to find that his lineage was gone. He made a scene at the Martial King's Mansion, forcing even the Stone Emperor to get involved."

"With the Stone Emperor's birthday approaching, this incident means the days ahead will be anything but peaceful!"

Li Dao's expression remained unchanged, but he had already made up his mind, thinking that the great demon god had probably escaped.

Before Li Dao had been there long, two familiar figures arrived together.

"Junior brother."

Li Dao paused slightly and turned around to look back, only to see that Xia Youyu and Li Jiaojiao had arrived at this place at some point.

"Senior Sister Xia, Jiaojiao, what brings you here!"

Upon seeing the two, Li Dao couldn't help but feel delighted, as they hadn't seen each other for many years since the last battle at Butian Pavilion.

Both of them looked much more mature, especially Li Jiaojiao, who wore a plain white dress and exuded a capable and gentle temperament, quite different from the little girl she used to be.

Her originally slender figure has become curvaceous and shapely, radiating a pure aura.

The two approached Li Dao and, seeing the more mature and composed Li Dao, could not hide their joy.

“A disciple saw your figure, but was unsure, so he called the two of us here. Unexpectedly, it really was you, Junior Brother.”

The three hadn't seen each other for a while, but instead of becoming estranged, they chatted warmly in just a few words, and Li Dao also learned about the situation of the Butian Pavilion.

Although the Butian Pavilion was destroyed that day, it was barely preserved thanks to its remaining base. However, it went into seclusion and dared not venture out.

"Junior brother, don't worry. Many things have happened in the Great Wilderness recently. The enemies who were watching us before have stopped keeping their eyes on us and have given us a chance to breathe."

"As for you, Junior Brother, how are you today?" Li Jiaojiao looked at Li Dao with affection, her eyes filled with both joy and worry.

Li Dao gave a brief explanation, and upon learning that he had gone to Beihai, his expression changed drastically.

The news of what happened in the North Sea has spread far and wide. Even the Venerable One almost perished there, which has now become a forbidden zone for life.

Listening to him casually recount his experiences in Beihai, I felt a deep sense of lingering fear.

After chatting for a while longer, Xia Youyu asked him:

"Junior brother, the Stone Emperor's birthday is approaching. Do you wish to go?"

Li Dao was a little confused as to why he was being asked this, so Xia Youyu explained the situation to him.

On the day of the Great Battle of Butian Pavilion, the Stone Emperor secretly summoned many Butian Pavilion disciples. At this time, Butian Pavilion's situation eased slightly, and those who had been taken away wanted to return.

After some discussion, the elders of the Butian Pavilion decided to bring back the Butian Pavilion disciples who had been left behind.

If Li Dao comes, we might be able to get together again sometime.

Upon hearing this, Li Dao thought for a moment and then agreed.

Now that his cultivation has reached the level of inscription, and with the Heavenly Desolation protecting him, his life is safe. It's time to settle some scores.

A glint of malice flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself:

"Demon Spirit Lake, Rain Clan, and Martial King's Mansion: yesterday's cause, today's consequence."

"I am coming!!"

Chapter 190 Little brother, wanna play?

After agreeing on a time and place with the two, Li Dao bid them farewell and returned to Jinyu Village.

His gaze slowly returned to his senses, a lingering murderous intent still present in his eyes. He got up and returned to the village, where he found Li Kai and explained his intention to leave.

Li Kai looked at the boy in front of him, who was already taller than him, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions, but in the end, they all turned into a sigh.

He patted Li Dao on the shoulder, his tone as kind as when Li Dao was a child, and said:

"Go then."

"There's no need to worry since everyone in the village is here. Besides, the High Priest has greatly improved his cultivation and is capable of protecting everyone."

"Just take good care of yourself while you're away."

Li Dao felt a sudden pang of sadness, but he smiled and nodded in agreement.

I spent two more days in the village. Most of my childhood playmates are now parents. I revisited the places where I used to play as a child, feeling a deep sense of nostalgia.

On the morning of the third day, Li Dao stood at the village entrance with Hei Sha, followed by villagers who came in an orderly fashion to see him off.

Behind Xiao Hua followed a child with two strings of glistening beads hanging from his nose, who waved at Li Dao and said:

"Boss, you and Big Black go together. I'm staying in the village to teach my apprentices!"

"We'll wait until one day he catches up with the boss."

The slug behind Little Flower stroked Little Flower's soft fur, its eyes full of innocence.

Li Dao had mixed feelings. He nodded to Xiao Hua and, after saying goodbye to Li Kai and the others, embarked on his journey to the capital of the Stone Kingdom.

Jin Yu Village gradually shrank behind them. They didn't know when they would be able to return after this parting, and they felt a great deal of reluctance in their hearts.

"A true man's ambition lies in all corners of the world; when all flowers bloom in splendor, I will surely return!"

His gaze hardened, and he sat cross-legged on Black Fiend's back, disappearing into the desolate jungle.

Half a month later, three hundred miles outside the capital of the Stone Kingdom, Li Dao grabbed the hind leg of a lightning tiger with one hand and suddenly threw it out.

Lightning Tiger's body was like a cannonball, instantly smashing through three mountains before stopping. Amidst the rising dust, its life force dissipated in the divine sense.

"A mere spirit beast dares to bare its teeth at me? It's courting death."

Li Dao stood on the back of the Black Demon, with white clouds drifting by. His imposing aura had not yet subsided, and the ferocious beasts within a ten-mile radius of the mountain range immediately ran away into the distance, forming a small beast tide.

With their eyes fixed ahead, they walked at a leisurely pace until they finally saw the outline of the capital of the Stone Kingdom.

He clapped his hands, preparing to head at full speed towards the capital of the Stone Kingdom, but a voice rang out behind him the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"

Li Dao paused, his divine sense sweeping across the area. He saw a man carrying three long swords on his back, dressed in a blue robe as a chivalrous knight, beckoning to him.

In the brief moment he paused, the man took a step forward and came right up to him, a sincere smile on his face with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes:

"Are you also going to the Stone Emperor's birthday banquet, fellow Daoist? Would you mind joining me?"

"My name is Pei Zihuai. I greet you, fellow Daoist."

Seeing Pei Zihuai's smiling face and overly familiar demeanor, Li Dao lowered his guard slightly and nodded to him, saying:

“Li Dao”.

"Please proceed, fellow Daoist."

Seeing Li Dao's aloofness, Pei Zihuai didn't stand on ceremony at all and began to speak to himself, as if he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time.

"Fellow Daoist's move earlier was truly remarkable, subduing a ferocious beast in an instant. You are indeed a role model for us all!"

"That old geezer said I was an unparalleled sword genius, but only after meeting you, fellow Daoist, will I know what a sword genius truly is."

"And this big black tiger is also strong and fat..."

Li Dao initially paid no attention, assuming he was just a fellow traveler, but seeing that he kept rambling on and showed no sign of stopping, he helplessly said to him:

"Does fellow Daoist know any inside information about the Stone Emperor's birthday banquet?"

Upon hearing this, Pei Zihuai smacked his lips and said to Li Dao:

"I do know some inside information. I heard that the person with double pupils recently returned to the Martial King's Mansion, and this time he will be granted a marquisate and groomed as the next successor of the Stone Kingdom!"

"There is also the matter of many Venerables gathering to discuss the Great Demon God, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"In short, this birthday banquet for the Stone Emperor will surely be very lively, and being able to watch the spectacle up close is a wonderful thing."

A glint of light flashed in Li Dao's eyes; he wondered how strong Shi Yi was now.

Under Pei Zihuai's incessant chatter, the two arrived at the capital of the Stone Kingdom. Along the way, Li Dao learned quite a bit from Pei Zihuai.

This also greatly helped his plan.

The capital of the Stone Kingdom was clearly visible before them, its city walls like a winding dragon coiled on the mountain range, and the armor of the guards gleamed with a chilling light.
