On the contrary, one could clearly sense a terrifying aura brewing beneath that decaying skin. Even without using divine sense, that aura pressed down on everyone's hearts.
The cultivators in front of Li Dao all made way for him when they saw him walking forward instinctively.
Before long, they overtook Qi Mu and slowly disappeared into the depths of the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
"What's wrong with him? He's acting so strangely!"
"It seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation, and you can't even sense it? Has the energy of the Immortal Cleansing Pool decreased?"
The crowd whispered among themselves, saying that when Li Dao passed by just now, they all felt a pressure that gripped their hearts.
They whispered among themselves as they watched Li Dao's disappearing figure.
Qi Mu also watched Li Dao's disappearing figure and naturally sensed the changes in the Immortal Cleansing Pool. The surging power of laws weakened a bit, and with a determined effort, he got up and slowly followed.
Deep within the Immortal Cleansing Pool, Li Dao had already reached the very center.
The five-colored divine light was reflected in the pool water, the essence viscous into mist, and an invisible pressure in the void was like a thousand-pound boulder. The laws surged and transformed into invisible blades that cut through all creatures that entered the central position.
But today, a figure has intruded into this place.
Li Dao staggered to the center, his Dao body energy was drained and became shriveled, but then it became abundant again after being replenished with ample energy.
The body constantly cycles between death and life.
Under these circumstances, Li Dao reached the central area of the Immortal Cleansing Pool.
The five hearts faced the sky as it sat cross-legged in the pool, letting the laws cut through its body. Blood gushed out, soon staining the center red, turning it into a pool of blood.
Li Dao sat on the blood pool, his eyes closed, letting the laws wash over him, single-mindedly absorbing the essence that had turned into mist.
At the same time, a golden lotus slowly appeared in his dantian, and subtle ripples emanated from the lotus.
As soon as the lotus appeared, it sent its dense roots deep into the Immortal Cleansing Pool, and the power of the laws flowed into the lotus like a river.
Streaks of mysterious light emanated from the golden lotus, revealing a terrifying being brewing within.
"From life to death, one sees one's true self and the world between life and death."
As soon as the thought arose, golden roots from the golden lotus also fell onto his body, penetrating deep into his body through his pores and wrapping around his broken but still full of Dao essence.
The already deteriorating skin deteriorated even faster under the absorption of those roots.
Its entire body was enveloped in a dense network of roots, which, like the Immortal Cleansing Pool beneath its feet, transformed into nutrients to nourish the golden lotus.
At this moment, Li Dao's consciousness entered a strange state, neither alive nor dead, watching his Dao body decay and rot step by step.
However, his primordial spirit fell into an endless darkness, where surging energies were reshaping his body.
The primordial spirit clearly perceived this process, as if it had participated in this extraordinary reshaping process and witnessed the moment of life's birth.
As Qi Mu slowly moved forward, he looked up and was stunned.
Before him, deep within the misty Immortal Cleansing Pool, a golden Dao Lotus slowly rose, its ripples causing the pool to sway slightly.
"what is that?"
A terrifying sense of suffocation could be felt from that golden lotus, a kind of oppression from the level of life itself.
Although Qi Mu didn't know what was inside the golden lotus, the goosebumps told him that if he took another step forward, he would become nourishment for the golden lotus.
His body stopped involuntarily, and as he looked down, he saw the surging energy in the pool flowing towards the golden lotus. The power of laws gathered like a galaxy suspended in the sky, pouring into the lotus.
"Did Brother Li do this? Is he undergoing a transformation, or is he trying to destroy this place?"
Qi Mu's eyes were filled with horror, and he dared not go any further, standing still and feeling Jin Lian's every breath.
Beneath the golden lotus, Li Dao's body had already turned into a skeleton, but it was clear that the broken bones were emitting wisps of chaotic energy.
In the center of that golden lotus, the bud was tightly closed, seemingly holding up a universe within it.
The alternation of black and white, the endless flow of yin and yang, reveals the profound mysteries of life and death.
At the center where yin and yang alternate and life and death flow, a figure slowly took shape under the nourishment of massive energy.
Li Dao's consciousness returned from that state between life and death, and he sensed that his body was being reshaped. The Dao trace left by the Kunpeng woman within him merged into his bones, transforming into a Dao bone that exuded Yin and Yang energies.
The bones were reshaped and filled with chaotic energy, and divine light shone between the flesh and blood. The laws of heaven and earth left their marks on this body.
This is a completely new Dao body, born from the old body, undergoing an indescribable transformation, and reshaped into a new Dao body.
Li Dao felt an unprecedented sense of ease. The laws of heaven and earth were so easy to grasp; he could wield the chains of law with just a thought.
In this indescribable transformation, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Qi Mu slowly opened his eyes and could already feel the swelling in his meridians, knowing that he had reached his limit.
He stopped absorbing energy, but instead of leaving, he looked at the golden lotus.
What was originally just a bud of the golden lotus has now unfolded into a five-petaled lotus, and the faint aura has become increasingly clear, though it has been restrained, it is even more terrifying.
"Such an earth-shattering transformation is truly astonishing!"
"So, you weren't using your full strength before?"
The other eight people on the shore also came ashore early, feeling the sacred feeling coming from the depths, and each of them had a look of amazement in their eyes.
At the same time, his face was full of solemnity.
"Are we about to witness the birth of a monster?"
Chapter 281 Reshaping the Dao Body and Refining the Dao Bones
Meanwhile, although the Immortal Gathering in Cangyun City has come to an end, its effects are only beginning to emerge.
Within a city constantly crackling with lightning, a man exuding an aura of thunder, holding a bolt of purple lightning in his hand, listened to Li Dao's deeds, a slight smile playing on his lips:
"interesting."
On the vast, desolate land of Kunzhou, a man with a sword on his back, arms crossed, headed towards the direction of Tianxianzhou.
As their clothes fluttered, their words drifted softly into the wind.
"A man worthy of having his sword drawn."
Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Cangyun City, Jin Yan sat facing her father.
"You really dislike that kid that much?"
Jin Tuo looked at Jin Yan, his tone completely calm, his gaze settling on her indifferently.
There was no emotion in his tone.
“Feng Wu is a prodigy, but a great power is about to rise, and he is not the one who can protect Cangyun City.”
Jin Yan shook her head, not mentioning Feng Wu any further, and instead said to Jin Tuo:
"More than half a month has passed, and they still haven't come out of the Immortal Cleansing Pool?"
"I hope nothing bad happened inside."
Jin Tuo, of course, understood the purpose of Jin Yan's words, and shook his head at her, saying:
Not yet.
"The longer you stay in the Immortal Pool, the greater the benefits you will receive, so you don't need to worry."
"So, you've chosen that kid?"
Jin Tuo's gaze became distant. Having once been a prodigy himself, he naturally knew the true power of a monstrous genius.
But he couldn't bring himself to push his own daughter into a fire pit for the sake of Cangyun City.
Jin Yan, of course, knew Jin Tuo's concerns, and did not avoid the topic, replying directly and calmly:
"It's always better to offer help when someone is in need than to add to someone's already good fortune."
"I plan to go to Tianxian Academy with them as well, just to be prepared for both possibilities and to better observe whether it is worthwhile to invest in advance."
Jin Tuo sighed inwardly.
She had been opinionated since childhood, and seeing that she had made up her mind, no one tried to persuade her any further. She nodded and her figure slowly disappeared from the spot.
Jin Yan looked up at the sky with a deep gaze, unsure whether she was right or wrong, but she had a premonition that befriending Li Dao and the other man would not be a bad thing.
Another half month passed quickly, and the other eight people had already left the Immortal Cleansing Pool. It wasn't that they wanted to leave, but rather that the oppressive aura permeating the Immortal Cleansing Pool was too strong at this time.
After their journey through the Immortal Cleansing Pool, all eight of them experienced varying degrees of improvement in their strength.
Meanwhile, the scenery inside the Immortal Cleansing Pool is quite different.
Qi Mu stood on a jade pillar, gazing at the enormous golden lotus in the center of the Immortal Cleansing Pool, which was not far from fully blooming.
The roots that spread out from it filled most of the Immortal Cleansing Pool, and a terrifying pressure rippled outwards from the golden lotus like a tide.
His eyes flashed with divine light, but he could not see inside the golden lotus. Li Daowu sat cross-legged with his heart facing the sky, his face fair and delicate like a fairy, and a golden lotus was branded on his forehead, making him look incomparably bewitching.
On his finger bones, a section of bone, imbued with yin and yang energies and radiating a strange divine light, was intertwining the Dao and the principles.
"Breaking through the limits of blood, reaching the ultimate realm of the grotto-heaven, and transforming into a sage."
"My journey has been one of pure Yang and strength. This time, I have reshaped my true self, reunited my physical body, and by a twist of fate, I have also obtained a precious bone to enter my body."
"It's time to take a good look at where I came from."
With this in mind, the Dao body, which originally automatically absorbed the energy of heaven and earth, began to circulate qi and blood to temper the body under Li Dao's control.
Instead of violently advancing, he began his cultivation from the very basics. Streams of Yin and Yang divine light surged within his blood, and his bones and meridians became crystal clear under the cleansing of the blood.
In just one day, he completed his cultivation in the Blood Moving Realm. With a single swing of his arm, he could wield a force of 200,000 jin. This was the power of the pure Blood Moving Realm.
It must be said that the potential of this reconstructed body is incredibly strong, no weaker than those of the first generation, and even surpasses them!
After refining the Blood Transformation Technique, with the support of massive amounts of energy, cultivation in the Cave Heaven Realm became incredibly smooth.
This time, opening the physical body's grotto-heaven went much more smoothly than the previous time. The grotto-heaven's divine ring connected behind him, scattering a vast expanse of starlight.
There is a subtle trend toward unification. The eleven grottoes depict eleven different starry skies, and the star trails in those eleven skies seem to merge as they streak across the void.
He then spent only a few days rebuilding his spirit, inscription, and array formation. At this time, his power had reached the Venerable Realm, on par with his previous level, but his combat strength had undergone a tremendous change.
His foundation was incredibly solid, his basic strength unparalleled, and having undergone a complete overhaul, he gained entirely new insights into each realm.
At this moment, the divine rings behind him, like ancient realms, surrounded him, from which came the sound of chanting.
His slender body carried unparalleled divine power, and every move he made drew upon the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. As his eyes opened and closed, a golden vertical pupil slowly appeared behind him, seemingly able to pierce through all illusions.
