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

This is an investigation, exposing everything to the public, inside and out, with no secrets.

"It's all fake! Those are all illusions. The disaster hasn't happened yet. This isn't the end of the world!"

“The Venerable One was bound and did not escape, but this was not aimed at us; we survived!”

At this moment, all the cultivators were overjoyed. Sweat soaked their clothes, and a feeling of surviving a calamity overwhelmed them. Many cultivators wept with joy.

Li Dao had already seen through the truth of this catastrophe and watched the various aspects of human life with indifference.

He and the disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect were all doing their best to absorb the fragments of laws, using them to cleanse their bodies and forge a stronger Dao body.

Looking at the jubilant cultivators, Li Dao felt an icy chill in his heart.

"The strong have been captured, and all that's left are cultivators below the formation level. How is this any different from raising pigs and dogs?"

"Once it's harvest time, the remaining people will be caught in this cycle again and again."

A small group of people remained silent and did not join the celebration, having seen through the underlying meaning, just like Li Dao.

But faced with that will and power that could deceive the world, I felt a chill wind blowing through my bones, my heart felt as if it had fallen into the deepest abyss, and a sense of powerlessness swept over my whole body.

"We've finally escaped!"

However, some Venerables survived the calamity that targeted them.

A venerable figure dressed in hemp robes burst forth from a deep valley outside the Medicine Capital, trembling uncontrollably and pale as a ghost.

Clearly, they had expended a great deal of effort to conceal themselves during the previous catastrophe, and now it was no longer possible to do so.

Li Dao glanced at the suddenly appearing Venerable One indifferently and then ignored him.

Just as the old man was secretly delighted, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept across the world, and a streak of light shot down from the sky—it was a jet-black spear, its sharpness overwhelming.

Just as the old man was about to leave, the black spear pierced through his body, pinning him to the sky.

The mountain range beneath the old man exploded, and any cultivators nearby would surely perish.

Seeing a venerable person being nailed to death like a pig or a dog right before his eyes, Li Dao felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

"Too deceiving!"

Everything seemed to be under someone else's control. This feeling of having one's fate manipulated by others caused a surge of murderous intent to rise in Li Dao's eyes.

The wind howled again, and streaks of light shot through the heavens and earth, sweeping across mountains and rivers and engulfing all directions. The great calamity was not yet over.

Chapter 230 Refining Mortal Energy, Forging the True Self

A venerable being, his body burning with vital essence, rushed towards the Medicine Capital and saw Li Dao sitting upright in mid-air.

A glimmer of hope appeared in the Venerable One's eyes, which were filled with despair, like a drowning man grasping at a piece of duckweed. His clothes were tattered, and his lips trembled as he spoke, unable to conceal his fear:

"help me!"

Li Dao looked up and saw the Venerable One charging straight at him, and the black spear behind him.

His eyes were filled with cold indignation at the upper realm giants for fooling the common people. He raised his hand and pressed down with a palm, which swept past the Venerable and went straight towards the black spear behind him.

puff-

The spear pierced straight through the giant hand, its speed undiminished, killing the Venerable One and taking him away from his original spot.

The Venerable One looked at the terrifying black spear that had pierced through Dao's body, and when he looked at Li Dao, his eyes were filled with deep despair.

Li Dao looked down at the hollow hole that had appeared in his palm, sensing the Venerable One's life force instantly extinguished, his face as cold as frost:

"This calamity... regards all living beings as ants, it is truly hateful!"

"Hehe, well done!"

A disdainful laugh echoed from the heavens, carrying a nonchalant, indifferent, and emotionless tone.

It was as if it were merely a contemptuous laugh made by someone who saw an ant defying their will.

Li Dao felt a chill in his heart. He looked up at the sky, his gaze piercing through layers of void, and saw an unparalleled being sitting in the ninth heaven, surrounded by stars.

With a mere wave of his hand, he manipulates all living beings; the billions of creatures in the lower realms are nothing more than ants beneath his feet, not even worth a glance.

That lofty posture seemed to be a way of revealing himself to the world through a great calamity, and then rightfully accepting everyone's worship, making them offer their lives to show their loyalty.

Li Dao withdrew his gaze, refrained from making any rash moves, and sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, watching the streaks of light falling from the heavens.

The pain in his palm kept reminding him, forcing him to focus his attention on himself.

The Dao patterns flickered, the scars on his palm were erased, his palms faced upwards, and his expression returned to its calm and serene state.

Cast aside all resentment and distracting thoughts, sink your mind into your body, and wander in the ocean of laws, so that you may become clear and empty.

The great calamity continued, the wind howled like thunder, various lights filled the world, and magical artifacts formed from the laws of nature fought each other everywhere, with black spears piercing through those who managed to escape.

A net spread across the heavens and earth, and all cultivators were caught in this great net, like fish being caught in a net. The big ones were caught, while the small ones that had not yet grown up were left behind.

Extremely cruel and domineering!

Even gods, powerful as they are, are nailed to death. Faced with such a cruel truth, everyone can only eke out a living.

Everyone cautiously looked up at the sky, fearing that they would be the next to die.

But great calamities are often accompanied by great opportunities.

The Great Dao shifted, the Upper Realm's entrance opened, and the laws flowed back, causing runes to fall to the ground. The Dao principles between heaven and earth became clearer than ever before.

But in this time of crisis, only a handful of people defied fate and comprehended this great opportunity amidst the calamity.

Li Dao was undoubtedly one of them.

He ignored the clamor outside, and the fragments of laws around him almost materialized. He focused his mind outward, constantly capturing the Dao principles manifested between heaven and earth, observing the five elements of heaven and earth, and glimpsing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

He entered a deep state of enlightenment, fragments of the laws washed over his body, making his skin increasingly crystalline.

His eyes opened and closed involuntarily, instinctively capturing the laws of heaven and earth. Divine light flashed in his eyes, and endless runes surged like a sea in his eyes, as if trying to see through the mysteries of the heavens.

Lost in a state of enlightenment, his mind merged with the universe, capturing the traces of the Dao that appeared between heaven and earth.

Those Dao traces continuously evolved in my mind, and I used my spirit to refine their shapes and imprint them into my body, making them increasingly crystalline and emitting a faint fragrance.

"Using oneself as a furnace for reshaping and refining, drawing in traces of the Dao to cleanse the body of impurities and temper the true form!"

"This is the great opportunity amidst the calamity!"

A divine halo hung behind Li Dao's head, and fragments of laws around him cleansed his physical body. The traces of the Dao of Heaven and Earth entered his body, washing away the mundane and refining his Dao body to achieve transcendence.

The aura emanating from him became increasingly ethereal, like that of a sacred being, untouched by any dust.

His eyes opened and closed according to specific rules, capturing the Dao principles of heaven and earth. His mind imprinted the Dao traces into his body, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Inside the Divine Medicine Sect, Xie Yifan slowly opened his eyes, looked up at the sky, and saw Li Dao sitting cross-legged in the void above him.

With a blazing light shining in his eyes, Li Dao sat there cross-legged like a radiant red sun, attracting everyone's attention.

"Is this the Sect Master? He's like a god or a saint. I wish I could be by his side."

"You need to work harder to be qualified!"

Thinking of this, my mind, which I thought was exhausted from the continuous high-intensity meditation, suddenly surged with even more strength.

His mind was immersed in the enlightenment of the laws, and the sound of chanting emanated from his body.

Li Daoshang was unaware of the thoughts of the many disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect. At this moment, he was immersed in his own world, feeling as comfortable as a fish in water, swimming freely in the sea of ​​laws.

The moment the Dao imprint entered my body and I comprehended fragments of the laws of the upper realm, I felt that the Great Dao had never been so vast, as if a fish had jumped from a stream into a surging river.

There was an impulse in my heart, a desire to merge with this vast 'Great Way'.

This is an extremely dangerous act. Humans are so insignificant; to try to merge with the endless Dao would result in being reduced to dust in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, after two trials of his Dao heart, Li Dao's temperament quickly calmed down, and he quietly comprehended the Great Dao, which was as vast as a mighty river.

Outwardly, this manifested as countless runes in the void rushing into his body, merging with his physical treasures to forge an already incredibly powerful physical shell.

Although his cultivation level did not show any significant increase, Li Dao could feel that his understanding of the Great Dao was slowly rising, and his foundation was being continuously strengthened.

This is actually the best outcome for Li Dao at this point. If he were to break through another realm, he would likely be killed by that black spear. It would be better to solidify his foundation.

"Guide the traces of the Dao into your body, use endless runes to cleanse your physical form, and forge an immortal body!"

"The second shackle! Appear!"

Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes, and the endless runes surrounding him instantly ignited into raging Dao fire.

boom--

The Dao Fire retaliated, scorching the Dao body. In just an instant, the crystal-clear, jade-like Dao body was burned black.

The runes branded on his body emitted divine light, and his bones and meridians trembled in unison, resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

The people inside the Divine Medicine Sect were all horrified when they saw the huge fireball suddenly bursting into flames above their heads.

The black and red flames burned incessantly, as if they wanted to burn everything; just a glance at them was enough to damage one's soul.

"Close your eyes!"

Chen Liao roared, and all the disciples snapped back to reality, sitting cross-legged with their eyes closed, beads of sweat streaming down their foreheads.

Fierce fire refines true gold, and the fire of the Dao tempers the divine body.

Li Dao sat cross-legged in the center of the Dao fire, his hair and flesh completely burned away, leaving only a skeleton and a golden seed replacing his heart, constantly being tempered in the raging fire.

Li Dao felt as if he had fallen into a strange state of ignorance and numbness, where nothing could be seen and nothing could be found.

"The void is the beginning of the real; nothingness arises from existence."

"Truth and falsehood are the manifestations of all beings; the mind of Tao can dispel all delusions."

Just as Li Dao was in the midst of enlightenment, the sky above Medicine Capital suddenly split open, a giant hand tearing through the void and grabbing straight at the first spiritual root.

Many cultivators in the Medicine Capital felt a jolt in their hearts.

However, the moment the giant hand touched the spiritual root, the array patterns around the spiritual root trembled and burst forth with a streak of blood-red divine light, directly shattering the giant hand.

"Damn it! Just you wait!"

An angry voice rang out, followed by the crack slowly closing and the giant hand disappearing as if nothing had happened.

The many creatures in the Medicine Capital were unaware that they had previously narrowly escaped death.

The great calamity lasted for four days, and the Dao fire above the Divine Medicine Sect also burned for a full four days.
