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

Once it completes its transformation, it will also become a precious medicinal herb with extraordinary effects.

It can be of great help to him.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a knock sounded at the door. Li Dao's eyes flashed, he put away the Five Elements Grass, got up and opened the door, and immediately saw Qi Mu standing at the door.

Qi Mu wore a magnificent white and gold robe, a smile playing on his lips, giving off a warm and welcoming feeling.

Seeing Li Dao emerge from the pass, he cupped his hands and said:

"Let's go, Brother Li. Jin Yan has already sent someone to invite us."

Li Dao smiled and nodded, then followed Qi Mu out of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard, a delicate-looking maid was already waiting. Upon their arrival, she bowed slightly and spoke respectfully:

"Please follow me, gentlemen."

The two followed behind the maid, turning past pavilions and towers, and finally stopped in front of a magnificent ancient palace.

The golden pillars gleaming with a mysterious light, and the dome adorned with deep-sea luminous pearls, demonstrate the extravagance of Cangyun City.

As soon as the two entered, they saw that there were already many young prodigies in the ancient hall, drinking and discussing the Dao.

The scene was quite lively, and the Taoist atmosphere inside the hall was as misty as a fog.

Their arrival also attracted the attention of some people.

"Isn't that Qi Mu, who made it onto the Heavenly Ranking? I didn't expect him to come too."

"Who is that man next to him? I can't quite figure out his aura."

Just then, a red-haired man in red clothes appeared in the center of the crowd. Seeing Qi Mu arrive, he said with some disdain:

"You're just a nobody on the Heavenly Ranking, yet you're acting like this?"

Some people wanted to refute this, saying that Tianxian Academy was a powerful force located at the intersection of three states, and its cultivators came from all over the world.

Among them, there are hundreds of thousands of disciples, but only a handful of fifty can make it onto the Heavenly Ranking, making it extremely prestigious.

Being treated with such contempt is something one cannot stand.

However, upon seeing who had spoken, those cultivators who wanted to object immediately shut their mouths.

"Who is that person? He's so arrogant, could he be one of the top ten on the Heavenly Ranking?"

"You didn't know that? That person isn't a cultivator from the Heavenly Immortal Academy, but rather Feng Wu, the young master of Fengyang City, another major power in Heavenly Immortal Prefecture. I heard he came here for the marriage alliance between the two cities!"

"No wonder he's so arrogant. He's a representative figure of an ancient city. He's definitely no less powerful than the cultivators on the Heavenly Ranking."

Qi Mu had naturally heard these rumors as well, but he simply smiled and took his seat with Li Dao.

He had heard this kind of talk countless times and didn't care at all.

Li Dao also glanced at the man.

The Venerable Peak cultivator exuded a bursting crimson sun aura, suggesting he was a cultivator practicing the path of fire.

Seeing Li Dao's expression, Qi Mu assumed he was interested and shrugged indifferently, saying:

"The academy is too big, attracting the vast majority of geniuses from the three states and poaching many people from these ancient cities. Don't worry about it."

Li Dao's lips twitched slightly as he understood the reason behind it all. The Heavenly Immortal Academy was too powerful, squeezing out the living space of these ancient cities. No wonder they disliked Qi Mu so much.

He shook his head, no longer paying attention, and focused his attention back on the banquet.

Seeing that there was a lot of spiritual food and wine in front of him, Li Dao took a small taste and thought it tasted good.

Perhaps because the laws of the upper realm are more perfect, the spiritual fruits and juices in the upper realm are more abundant.

While eating, he chatted with Qi Mu. During this time, other cultivators came up to talk to him, so he didn't feel bored.

Wow!

Just then, the void rippled slightly, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards the door.

Then they saw a woman dressed in a golden robe, with a delicate face and a slender figure, walking towards them with her long legs constantly crossed.

She exuded an aura of decisiveness and efficiency, and with just a touch of makeup, she possessed a beauty that could topple kingdoms.

A look of amazement flashed in Li Dao's eyes. Although her appearance was slightly inferior to that of the witch, her decisive and efficient demeanor had a unique charm.

The other prodigies and geniuses, upon seeing such a beautiful woman, couldn't help but puff out their chests.

Jin Yan wore a faint smile, her gaze sweeping directly over the upright Feng Wu, causing the smile on Feng Wu's face to freeze for a moment.

Qi Mu couldn't help but feel a smile.

"Distinguished guests, if there is any shortcomings in our hospitality, I apologize in advance."

"Now that everyone has arrived, let the banquet begin."

As Jin Yan took her seat in the main seat, she gave a command, and a group of graceful women in flowing dance costumes entered from outside and began to perform a beautiful dance.

The atmosphere at the scene immediately became much more lively.

Seeing this, Li Dao couldn't help but sigh: the lives of the rich are truly simple and unpretentious.

He chatted with the cultivators around him. Although Li Dao's cultivation was very high at this time, he had still gained a lot. Those who could enter this hall were all truly talented and learned a great deal.

Just as Li Dao was talking with a rogue cultivator who had come from Kunzhou about how to protect everyone in front of him, Qi Mu's voice rang out from the side.

"Brother Li, this is Jin Yan, the young master of Cangyun City."

Li Dao looked up and saw Jin Yan looking at him curiously, her pale golden eyes gleaming with a faint divine light.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Jin Yan."

Jin Yan also gave a slight bow. She had previously sensed the unusual fluctuations of laws around Li Dao, and now that she had come, she was even more curious.

Jin Yan smiled warmly and began to chat with Li Dao. Qi Mu occasionally chimed in from the side, making the conversation seem very harmonious.

However, Feng Wu, who was watching this scene from the other side, was squeezing his wine cup so hard it made a cracking sound. He couldn't stand the sight of Li Dao and the other man.

"Damn it, what makes him so deserving of such treatment from Jin Yan!"

"I don't even get this kind of treatment."

Li Dao found Jin Yan to be poised and generous, and they had a very pleasant conversation.

"Has Fellow Daoist Li ever considered joining a force? Going it alone can never compare to working together as a group."

"If you wish, fellow Daoist, you are very welcome in Cangyun City."

Jin Yan didn't hold back either. After a few words, she realized that Li Dao was truly talented and immediately extended an invitation.

Li Dao was slightly taken aback, but then he realized that they were starting to try to win him over. However, before he could speak, Qi Mu, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

“Fellow Daoist Jin, that’s not very kind of you. I’ve already told the elders in the academy that I want to bring Fellow Daoist Li into the academy. You can’t steal him away from me.”

Li Dao turned his head and saw Qi Mu winking at him. He understood immediately and cupped his hands in greeting to Jin Yan, saying:

"I can only disappoint Fellow Daoist Jin."

Jin Yan didn't say much, just smiled. She was just trying to win him over; if it didn't work, there would be no loss.

The main reason was that they had witnessed Li Dao's extraordinary abilities in their previous conversations; his understanding of the Dao was much deeper than theirs.

Halfway through the banquet, at its climax, Jin Yan had someone bring in a hexagonal wheel, engraved with strange Daoist patterns, exuding a primitive and ancient aura.

The eyes of everyone in the ancient hall were drawn to it, and they whispered among themselves about what it was.

"This item is called the Illusionary Dao Disc. Legend has it that it was a treasure used by ancient prodigies to compete in the realm of Dao."

"I obtained this by chance, and I am sharing it with all the geniuses."

"Whoever lands on it to compete, and wins, will receive 20% of the opponent's insights. Anyone want to try it out?"

Jin Yan stepped onto the stage with a broad smile and addressed the crowd around her.

These words immediately stirred up the crowd. They were all outstanding talents, and in such a place where they could make a name for themselves, they were naturally unwilling to fall behind.

Having heard of the wonders of the Illusionary Path Compass, many people are already eager to try it out.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a perfect chance to gain both fame and fortune.

A glint flashed in Li Dao's eyes as he became somewhat interested in the Illusionary Dao Disc. If he kept winning, wouldn't his cultivation level increase extremely quickly?

However, he quickly rejected this idea. If that were the case, the power of Cangyun City would certainly be greater than that, and such a treasure would not be made public in this way.

It's unreasonable that someone can quickly create a prodigy simply by deliberately losing to another person.

There are bound to be many limitations.

Chapter 278 Reversing Yin and Yang

"The Illusionary Path Compass is a good thing, but it depends on the person using it."

Qi Mu, standing to the side, showed little interest in this, clearly knowing what was going on.

Li Dao cast a curious glance at him.

Qi Mu waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"Hey, if it's not a secret, this Illusionary Dao Disc can record your feelings when you use your Dao techniques and pass them on to the victor."

"While it can offer some help, if it happens too often, your path will become chaotic!"

"The Way does not rely on others; it is nothing more than this."

Li Dao nodded knowingly. Although the insights transmitted by the Illusionary Dao Disc could be applied to other areas, doing so too often could easily interfere with one's own path, which would be detrimental to cultivation.

Wow!

Just as the two were talking, Feng Wu had already stepped forward and arrogantly addressed the crowd around him:

"Feng Wu is here. Who dares to come up and try?"

Those present were all exceptional talents, and upon hearing Feng Wu's arrogant words, a streak of azure light immediately landed opposite him.

"Shen Qiu of the Frost Flowing Sword, come and give it a try!"

Those restless cultivators, seeing Shen Qiu go up, could only suppress their urges and whisper among themselves:

"Frost Sword, tsk tsk, another late-stage Venerable cultivator. I wonder how their Dao techniques will fare in a contest."
