Li Dao looked up and saw Li Kai, Li Kaixin, Er Ya, Xiao Hua, and a group of villagers from Jin Yu Village standing at the village entrance, smiling at him with excitement and undisguised joy in their eyes.
Xiao Hua ran over first, grabbing Li Dao's trouser leg as before, her eyes brimming with tears as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"Master is already so old, yet he acts like a child. He's truly shameless." Li Xuan sighed, rubbing his forehead at his master's behavior.
His words, which sounded unlike those of a child, immediately drew laughter from the surrounding villagers.
Chapter 265 Heaven and Earth Breathe with Me
Upon entering the village, Li Dao felt a strange sense of peace welling up inside him, like a small, drifting boat finding a harbor to dock in.
"Boss, this is my apprentice. What do you think? Doesn't he have some of your charm?"
"Now Xiao Xuan can lift a Qilin stone weighing a thousand catties!"
Li Xuan couldn't help but touch his head, smiled sheepishly, and touched the bead hanging around his neck. It was a precious bead given to him by Li Dao, which had been nourishing his body.
Feeling a little embarrassed by Li Dao's gaze.
Li Dao bent down and rubbed the little guy's head, a smile on his lips. He took out a drop of golden, sun-like divine liquid, divided it in two, and refined it into the bodies of Xiao Hua and the little guy respectively.
"This is a divine liquid obtained from a treasure land. It will slowly integrate into your bodies, improve your physical condition, and prolong your life."
"Little guy, I have high hopes for you. Keep up the good work in your training."
Li Xuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't help but speak:
"Will I be as amazing as my uncle someday?"
state!
As soon as the words were spoken, Xiaohua flicked her forehead and said irritably:
"You think you can catch up with the boss? You should catch up with your master first!"
"Don't be too ambitious at such a young age. Surpass your master first."
The little guy had never seen the world and didn't know how precious the divine liquid was, but he had traveled to so many places with Li Dao and knew how precious it was just by feeling it.
As soon as it entered the body, one could feel an intense energy, like the sun, flowing within, slowly tempering the body and purifying the bloodline.
Their cultivation, which had been stagnant due to bloodline constraints, was now slowly improving.
The little guy, after being punched, looked at Xiaohua with resentment in his eyes, clutching the spot where he had been hit and muttering under his breath:
"Master is so awful! I will definitely surpass you!"
Li Dao smiled and shook his head, ignoring the clown duo, and slowly walked to the place where he had previously cultivated.
This place is well preserved, but the concentration of vital energy is extremely high, and the herbs are growing luxuriantly.
He came to Li Kai's side and took out half a drop of divine liquid, refining it into his body.
It's not that they wanted to give more, but half a drop was already their limit. Being able to refine it completely would be a great fortune for them.
Giving them too much would actually harm them.
"Grandpa Village Chief still has this drop of divine liquid. Let's leave it in the village and pass it on to future outstanding descendants."
After absorbing that half-drop of divine liquid, Li Kai's face immediately became much rosier, and his eyes shone brightly. He reached out and took Li Dao's hand, saying softly:
"Child, you must be tired from working away from home."
"Since you've finally come back, let's stay in the village a little longer."
Li Dao felt a warmth in his heart and said softly:
"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief."
Li Kai had a warm smile on his face. At his age, he had seen through many things and knew that every encounter in this world was one less time he would have.
After leaving his unwanted items in the village, Li Dao went to the large open space in the village.
After Li Dao returned, the entire village, young and old, gathered here.
With curiosity and smiles on their faces, they kept asking Li Dao all sorts of questions, some about the bustling outside world, some about food, and so on.
A bonfire was lit in the field, and the meat of the ferocious beast was already roasting. Soon, the aroma spread to every corner of the village.
Li Dao also joined in, and laughter filled the air as they thoroughly enjoyed this rare moment of peace.
The banquet didn't gradually quiet down until midnight. The bonfire was still burning, and the drunken uncles lay sprawled on the ground.
Under the bright moonlight, Li Dao sat alone atop a solitary peak, holding the monkey wine he had obtained from Baiduan Mountain in his hand, looking down at Jinyu Village, which had gradually grown from a small village to its current size.
He couldn't help but feel a little dazed. The moonlight was pouring down, and a pure white lotus flower bloomed beneath him, absorbing the power of the moonlight.
The more monkey wine he drank, the more energetic he became. Looking at the village below, he murmured to himself:
"Perhaps this is one of the meanings of spiritual practice."
The moonlight, like a veil, draped over him, adding to his air of cold solitude, making him seem like a banished immortal descended to earth.
A gentle breeze ruffled his hair; the wine hadn't made him drunk, but the scenery before him had given him a touch of intoxication.
The sun rises in the east.
After exhaling a breath of newly formed purple energy, Li Dao sat cross-legged on Yu Gu Peak. Once he finished, he got up and returned to the village, feeling refreshed, but this time he did not immediately begin his cultivation.
Having entered the Venerable Realm, Li Dao realized that ascetic cultivation in the lower realm wouldn't be of much use. He wanted to slow down and better appreciate the world around him.
Sitting under the locust tree, he taught Li Xuan and the other children the most basic bone script, holding a ruler in his hand, looking quite like a schoolteacher.
Li Xuan and the others were initially very happy, after all, this was a great hero of their Golden Feather Village. However, as the ruler fell, their beautiful fantasies were immediately shattered.
"Uncle Li, hit me gently! Hit me gently!"
"Don't spank me!"
The wailing of a group of children disturbed the locust tree, and the village suddenly became lively.
As evening fell, Li Dao took a rough fishing rod made of green bamboo from the roadside and sat cross-legged on a large blue stone on the back mountain to fish.
Over the course of several days, the villagers who initially came to check out out of curiosity gradually got used to it.
The subtle distance that had initially existed gradually disappeared with each new greeting.
Li Kai stood under the locust tree, leaning on his cane. After Li Dao finished greeting the villagers, he went into the water to catch fish with Li Xuan and the others. His eyes were deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
During this period, I also noticed something unusual about Li Dao. I could clearly feel that the 'immortal aura' on Li Dao was slowly disappearing, or perhaps it had become dormant.
In his youth, he had also wandered around and happened to hear that a genius had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven in one day, which was truly terrifying.
He wasn't sure if Li Dao was currently experiencing this strange change.
Although they didn't know what was wrong with Li Dao, they still told the villagers not to disturb him and to let him do as he pleased.
The stream was crystal clear, and small fish seemed to float in the air as they swam.
"Brother Li Dao! Here comes a big fish!"
Li Xuan reached into the water with lightning speed, stirring up the stream, then suddenly pulled his hand back. A large black fish leaped out of the water, was pulled ashore, and flew towards Li Dao.
Li Daotou didn't just raise his hand and firmly grasp the large black fish in his hand; with a few deft movements of his knife, he had the black fish cleaned up.
He snapped his fingers, and sparks immediately flew up from the makeshift fire in front of him. He placed the blackfish on it, and the aroma of roasted fish wafted out right away.
The children who were originally fishing in the water quickly came ashore after smelling the aroma and surrounded Li Dao, talking about what was happening outside.
Li Dao also recounted his experiences outside: the adventures in Baiduan Mountain, the prosperity of the capital, and the wonders of the medicine capital.
Listening to the innocent voices of children, some exclaiming in surprise and others filled with curiosity, Li Dao felt an unprecedented sense of ease. Everything felt so real, so real that it was within reach.
However, as she talked to the children, the conversation gradually fell silent.
Seeing Li Dao's eyes slightly closed and a faint smile on his lips, Li Xuan couldn't help but mutter:
"Brother Li Dao, how come you fell asleep while you were talking? That's strange, sir. Come on, let's go catch some more fish!"
"it is good!!"
A group of children dispersed, laughing as they stepped back into the stream, rippling the spring water.
"I initially understood that rain is born in the sky and buried on the earth."
"It takes time to realize that as long as something exists between heaven and earth, no matter how it changes, it is eternally existent."
"Cultivation is cultivation, cultivation is also cultivation of truth, I truly exist between heaven and earth."
"All things are with me, and with eternity."
As the world fell silent, wisps of emerald green energy gently caressed his body. The fish that had been constantly trying to escape from Li Xuan and the others now swam together in front of Li Dao.
Like a student seeking enlightenment, it gently and rhythmically swayed its fish tail, quietly watching Li Dao, as if on a pilgrimage.
Li Xuan and the others were all taken aback by this change. Some of the children, seeing this strange sight, were so excited that they immediately ran to call their parents.
Li Kai led a group of villagers to the stream, where they saw Li Dao sitting cross-legged on a blue stone, looking like a god or saint. Fish were swimming devoutly in the water, and wisps of spiritual energy seemed to entwine around him.
"Has this young Taoist become an immortal? What terrifying power he possesses!"
"Do you think those fish are kneeling in worship? Could this humble Taoist be a reincarnation of an immortal?"
Upon seeing this, the villagers immediately began to whisper among themselves. If Li Kai hadn't been there, they would have knelt down and bowed to Li Dao as well.
Li Kai was also deeply shocked, but he immediately addressed the crowd:
"Xiao Dao is about to make a breakthrough, so let's not disturb him."
"Leave a few people around to protect him, the rest of you can go back."
The villagers of Jinyu Village nodded. After Li Kai stayed behind with Xiaohua and a few strong men, the rest of the villagers left.
Only the sound of a gentle breeze rustling the water could be heard beside the stream. Li Dao's body merged with heaven and earth, emanating a faint white jade divine light, making him appear exceptionally clear and transparent.
Chapter 266 Sealing Heaven and Locking the Dao
At this moment, Li Dao was in a mysterious state.
Before him was a vast white world, and he was in it, with nothing around him, only himself sitting cross-legged.
But slowly, as a Yin-Yang axis unfolded, the forms of all things began to appear. Grass and trees sprouted, birds and beasts began to roam, and a world slowly took shape.
Li Daoneng could clearly sense the changes between heaven and earth. The place where he stood seemed to have transformed into a divine kingdom, moving according to his will, and he was the sole ruler of this divine kingdom.
