The disciples and elders of the Divine Medicine Sect went from initial fear and anxiety to deep enlightenment.

The chanting emanating from within the Dao Fire caused everyone to unconsciously calm their minds and concentrate, as if the profound mysteries of the Great Dao were unfolding before their eyes like lines on the palm of their hand.

boom--

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, the first rays of purple sunlight shot in from the eastern horizon and landed at the core of the Dao Fire.

dong dong dong-

A heavy, thunderous heartbeat resounded, the Dao fire gradually extinguished, and the skeletal frame, gleaming with a metallic sheen and permeated with chaotic energy, glowed with primitive and ancient Dao patterns.

The seed sprouts, and its roots transform into blood vessels and meridians that rapidly wrap around the entire skeleton.

hum-

A flower bud grew out, five colors, odorless, formless, intangible, and invisible, yet Li Dao sensed it.

As the flower bud trembled slightly, the next moment, flesh and fascia instantly covered the bones and meridians.

The flesh and blood, gleaming with a metallic luster and flowing with chaotic energy, seemed to contain within every inch an unparalleled celestial abode, with endless treasures waiting to be unearthed.

Chapter 231 The Second Shackle

Flesh and hair regenerated, each strand of hair shimmering with divine light, and the opening and closing of the eyes seemed to obliterate the Great Dao, with a dazzling galaxy flowing within them.

He sat calmly in the void, a simple Taoist robe embroidered with the sun, moon and stars slowly taking shape on his body.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, with her bangs flowing down to reveal a pair of eyes that seemed to hold endless stars. Her eyebrows were as sharp as distant mountains, and her skin was as smooth as white jade.

He was surrounded by a faint aura of immortality, like a transcendent being, and every move he made influenced the laws of heaven and earth.

It exudes a captivating aura of dominance and profundity from within, and releases a delicate fragrance reminiscent of orchids and musk as its pores open.

The body is close to the Dao, with runes built within it. The body's shell progresses in tandem with the Dao, and the Dao's essence is naturally formed in every gesture.

His body was ablaze with Daoist fire, yet it did not harm him in the slightest.

Such an achievement would be impossible even for a Venerable One, yet Li Dao accomplished this extraordinary feat while standing in formation.

While there may be favorable timing and circumstances, the key is the courage to seek out great opportunities amidst great calamities.

However, a shackle was faintly visible on his skin, appearing under the scorching of the Dao Fire. But as the Dao Fire gradually died down, the shackle disappeared into his body.

call--

He exhaled a breath that transformed into a sword, completely severing the vortex of vital energy surrounding him, and a divine light shone in his eyes.

Sensing the ever-appearing and disappearing phantoms of shackles on his body, he couldn't help but sigh:

"In the end, the lower realm is flawed and the Great Dao is incomplete. Despite the burning of the Dao Fire, the second shackle of this physical body still did not manifest."

"Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it and figure out a solution next time."

The second shackle of the physical body means that he is taking another step forward in exploring the physical body.

The first shackle can only appear after physical sanctification, and the conditions for the appearance of the second shackle are even more stringent.

"The road is long and arduous, so we must proceed and cross it as we go."

No longer worrying about these things, knowing that if it doesn't work out this time, there will be other opportunities, the distracting thoughts in my mind gradually subsided, and I slowly got up.

The numerous disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect below felt as if the sky were about to collapse above them, and they all opened their eyes and awoke from their reverie.

Upon seeing Li Dao, it was as if a mortal had glimpsed a banished immortal. The shock in his heart was indescribable, and a strong sense of pride welled up in his heart.

Their faces were filled with pride, as if they had seen a god, and their loyalty to Li Dao soared.

Xie Yifan felt immense joy as he experienced the baptism of law fragments over the past few days, which directly opened up eight cave heavens in his cultivation realm.

Upon looking up and seeing Li Dao, who seemed to be walking among mortals like a god, he immediately knelt on one knee and said:

"Congratulations, Sect Master, on your extraordinary achievements! The Great Dao is boundless!"

The numerous fellow disciples around them also knelt on one knee, loudly congratulating them, their voices filled with undisguised respect and excitement.

Li Dao scanned them with his divine sense and was quite satisfied with their progress. With a wave of his hand, a gentle breeze swept by and helped everyone up.

"Studying the fragments of the law carefully will greatly benefit your cultivation."

"Disperse."

The crowd slowly retreated, leaving only Li Dao in the world, suppressing the void.

Looking up at the sky, the three magical artifacts were no longer visible, but Li Dao knew that this great calamity was not over yet; it was only the beginning.

hum-

The void trembled and a black vortex formed behind him. Li Dao felt the familiar aura and took a step into it.

Upon entering, everything went black for a moment, and when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a small pavilion in the clouds. The woman with double pupils sat opposite me, glanced at me, and then spoke softly:

"The physical body is imbued with the light of the Dao, constantly nourishing the essence, energy, and spirit. It seems that this great calamity has yielded good results."

Li Dao smiled and poured himself a cup of tea. His divine sense sank into his body, and chaotic Dao light flowed through his bones and meridians at all times.

While nourishing the physical body, it also continuously tempers the primordial spirit.

In this constant state of refinement, one can inevitably push their breakthrough to another peak through the accumulation of time.

This is also why the second shackle did not manifest this time, but there was not much regret about it.

Previously, his physical body was the most outstanding, but now his physical body and spirit are working together to make up for his shortcomings.

They received considerable good fortune in the early stages of this great calamity.

He put down his teacup, said nothing more, and instead looked at the woman with double pupils, asking:

"How long until the next storm arrives?"

The woman with double pupils gazed silently at the sky for a long time before finally speaking:

"The gate has just closed, so it's safe for now, but it won't be long before it reopens."

"The laws of the upper realm are flowing backward. When the laws of the lower realm are sufficient to support those powerful Dharma bodies, an even greater disaster is about to occur."

Li Dao was also silent for a moment. Although he had been prepared, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness during the previous calamity.

Like a mayfly, I can only drift with the tide. The lines on my open palm are clear, but the pain left by the black spear still hurts when I recall it.

However, he quickly clenched his fist and said calmly:

"Since you're coming, then come on, our God Hunting Project isn't over yet."

"Having suffered such a huge loss before, they certainly won't let it go easily."

Although it had been submerged in the transformation of its Dao body, it still sensed the giant hand that tore through the barrier of the world and reached down, after all, the feeling of palpitation was still vivid in its mind.

"Ha, that's just a fool. His haste only left him with an arm."

"The real trouble is those guys who are still watching from the shadows."

As the giant hand descended, the woman with double pupils coldly watched it being shattered. She knew the person behind it wouldn't let it go, but she wasn't afraid at all. The real threat was the one lurking in the shadows.

Take, for example, the owners of those three magical artifacts. Their strength is unimaginable, given their ability to control such divine weapons. Even with Tianhuang by their side, they wouldn't dare say they could defeat them.

After the woman with double pupils finished speaking, she looked at Li Dao, the solemnity in her eyes fading, replaced by a playful glint, and said lightly:

"Let's not talk about that anymore. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"But before that, let me show you something first."

As he spoke, under Li Dao's puzzled gaze, a dark jade slip landed on the table.

At the double-pupiled woman's instruction, Li Dao poured his divine power into the jade slip. Immediately, the jade slip emitted a faint glow, and a line of small characters appeared in mid-air:

"I'll be waiting for you in the capital of the Stone Kingdom—Witch."

Feeling the familiar aura emanating from the jade slip, Li Dao's expression froze, his hand paused in mid-air, and ripples spread across the tea in his hand.

"You little rascal, your romantic entanglements have come knocking on your door."

"Having a date with a beauty is quite a stroke of luck. The title of witch has always been reserved for the goddess of the Jietian Sect."

"I didn't expect you to know those guys."

Hearing the woman with double pupils' teasing words, Li Dao couldn't help but smile wryly, not knowing that this senior in front of him had such a side.

He opened his mouth, unsure of what to say, and after bowing slightly, he finally spoke:

"Then this junior will take care of some personal matters first."

The woman with double pupils waved her hand, and a small sword landed in front of him. Her leisurely voice drifted over:

"I was inspired by the vastness of the sky, and it contains the power of a casual strike that I can use twice."

"Invincible below the true god, use it while you can."

Li Dao was shocked and carefully put the sword talisman into his pocket. This was a true life-saving artifact, enough to deal with most troubles in the lower realm. He thanked the woman with double pupils again.

The woman with double pupils waved her hand dismissively. If she hadn't wanted to avoid attracting too much attention, even a true god would have found it difficult to stop her casual attack.

After expressing his gratitude, Li Dao returned to the Divine Medicine Sect, summoned Chen Liao, gave him some instructions, and then prepared to head to the capital of the Stone Kingdom.

"Sect Master, rest assured, we will definitely protect the Divine Medicine Sect."

Chen Liao's eyes were full of seriousness. In the previous tempering of the laws, as the elder of the Divine Medicine Sect who was second only to Li Dao, he had also benefited the most.

His cultivation has steadily progressed to the late stage of inscription, and with the insights gained from studying the Mountain and River Cauldron, he has also gained some understanding of array formations. He will soon be able to enter the array formation realm.

Li Dao patted him on the shoulder, clearly understanding Chen Liao's current situation, and he believed what Li Dao said.

After arranging all the affairs of the Medicine Capital, he summoned Hei Sha and headed out of the Medicine Capital.

"Master, are we finally leaving?"

Black Fiend's hair grew even darker, and the golden runes on his forehead had spread to his neck, making him appear even more imposing.

Clearly, he had gained a lot from the previous baptism of laws, and his cultivation had reached the Inscription Realm.

Seeing his excited expression, Li Dao couldn't help but smile and shake his head. He had been in Yaodu for more than a year. Although it was peaceful, Hei Sha, who was used to following Li Dao around, was really not used to it.

"Correct."

"Target—the capital of the Stone Kingdom!"
