Sitting cross-legged on the golden lotus, he resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth with each breath.
"This is the true upper realm; the clarity of its laws is several times greater than that of the lower realm!"
"More importantly, it dissolved the Dao traces of the Kunpeng woman and obtained an extraordinary Dao bone."
"Supreme Bone? Or Yin-Yang Dao Bone?"
He shook his head, no longer thinking about it, and slowly got up. The laws wove together to form a Yin-Yang Daoist robe that covered his body.
The golden lotus fully bloomed, and his figure slowly emerged.
The world fell silent. The golden lotus beneath him slowly dissipated, transforming into streaks of golden light that merged into the mark on his forehead.
hum!
With a single step, ripples spread across the Immortal Cleansing Pool, and his figure appeared on the shore in an instant.
Qi Mu only felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then Li Dao's figure appeared not far away, causing his pupils to shrink involuntarily.
"What's wrong, Brother Qi? Don't you recognize me so quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Mu quickly regained his senses and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement:
"Brother Li, you've really changed a lot."
At this moment, Li Dao was like a sword ready to be drawn at any moment, surrounded by the aura of laws, and his every move seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth.
Just standing in front of him, he felt immense pressure. If there were no other people around, he would hardly believe that the immortal-like figure in front of him was the same Li Dao from before.
Li Dao was speechless upon hearing Qi Mu's words, and shook his head, saying:
"Having shed the shackles of the past, I finally see my true self today. Brother Qi, you flatter me."
Li Dao spoke casually, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction. His Dao bones were crystal clear, and the laws of heaven and earth were imprinted on his flesh and bones. His aura was smooth and uniform, much stronger than when he was in the lower realm.
Qi Mu smiled and said no more, but he was very happy and glad to have made the acquaintance of Li Dao.
The two also stepped out of the Immortal Cleansing Pool. Jin Yan had been waiting outside for a long time. She had sensed a surge of powerful energy emanating from it and knew that the two were about to come out.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists."
"Congratulations on your progress in cultivation, Fellow Daoist Li."
Li Dao nodded slightly to them, feeling very grateful to Jin Yan and the others. If it weren't for the existence of the Immortal Cleansing Pool, he didn't know when he would have been able to gather the necessary treasures for transformation.
"Fellow Daoist Jin, you flatter me. This time, we are also grateful for the help from Cangyun City."
Jin Yan smiled and led the two to a magnificent hall, where Jin Tuo was already seated at the head of the table with a banquet prepared for them.
Qi Mu's expression was unusual; being invited to a banquet by a dignified celestial god was truly an honor for him.
However, after glancing at Li Dao beside him, he gained a clearer understanding.
"Is this what they call benefiting from someone else's success? It's pretty good."
Jin Tuo was somewhat surprised to see that Li Dao was surrounded by a pure aura and exuded an extraordinary temperament.
Such a change occurred simply from entering the Immortal Cleansing Pool, which greatly surprised even this celestial being.
Invite the two to take a seat.
Sitting at the jade table, Li Dao was somewhat surprised that Jin Tuo would personally invite them, but he quickly understood.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
"Both of you are outstanding individuals. I hope that this trip to the Immortal Cleansing Pool will make your path to enlightenment smoother."
Jin Tuo raised his glass with a warm smile. If you didn't know he was a powerful celestial being, you would think he was an old man from the village.
The two raised their glasses. Regardless of the other party's motives, they had genuinely gained benefits, and making friends with a powerful celestial being was also advantageous.
With both sides showing interest, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and the four of them exchanged their insights on the Great Dao.
Jin Tuo did most of the talking, and Li Daoxin's doubts were resolved.
As the simple banquet progressed smoothly, Jin Tuo raised his glass again and said:
"My daughter Jin Yan has long yearned to visit the Heavenly Immortal Academy. If you two young friends are going back this time, how about we keep each other company?"
Li Dao looked at Jin Yan with some surprise, only to see that she was also smiling and looking back at him.
"There is no problem at all. Fellow Daoist Jin Yan is exceptionally talented. It is a great honor for her to be able to enter the Heavenly Immortal Academy."
Qi Mu took over the conversation, which was considered an agreement, since he was the only one present who truly belonged to the Heavenly Immortal Academy.
The matter was settled in just a few words.
Chapter 282 Celestial Academy
The next morning, the three of them left Cangyun City.
"You're going alone?"
Seeing Jin Yan following behind the two with a sword in her hand, Li Dao couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not that delicate. Brother Li, do you perhaps think I need to be accompanied by maids and a few bodyguards?"
Li Dao touched his nose, though he didn't say it aloud, he truly thought so.
Jin Yan rolled her eyes at Li Dao and said in a low voice:
"With so many outstanding talents and extraordinary geniuses emerging from the Three Thousand Provinces, such a grand spectacle is truly eye-catching."
"Moreover, my father wanted me to gain experience by following you all this time."
"If there are protectors present, the training effect will definitely not be achieved."
Li Dao nodded, understanding her meaning, but this also changed his opinion of Jin Yan.
"She is indeed a decisive and strong-willed woman."
At this moment, Qi Mu also came over and said to Li Dao:
"If we're talking about grandeur, we have to look at the famous geniuses of the Three Thousand Provinces. They have dragons pulling their carriages and goddesses accompanying them. How impressive!"
"I heard that a person with double pupils has recently appeared in Tianyun Prefecture. He walks with the steps of a Qilin, and the world can be turned upside down when his eyes open and close. He is so majestic."
"His fame spread throughout all the states."
Li Dao's eyes flashed. He hadn't expected to hear news about Shi Yi again, but he found it normal.
The double pupils were already renowned in the lower realm, and now that they have arrived in the upper realm, in this place where all the Great Daos are complete, the light they can radiate is naturally even more dazzling.
A sense of anticipation began to stir within me; I wondered what it would be like to see them again.
"Brother Li, do you know him?" Qi Mu asked, noticing the strange expression on Li Dao's face.
"I guess you could say we know each other, we're old friends," Li Dao said casually.
Qi Mu shrugged upon hearing this and didn't press the matter further; it wasn't unusual for two geniuses to know each other.
Moreover, Li Dao is a prodigy destined for greatness.
The three of them transformed into streaks of light and disappeared from the spot, speeding towards the direction of the Celestial Academy.
Tianxian Academy is located at the intersection of Tianxian Prefecture, Kun Prefecture, and Huo Prefecture. It is magnificent and covers a vast area, far surpassing ordinary mega-cities.
There, clouds and mist rise and fall, and various tall buildings are hidden in the sea of clouds. Numerous sacred mountains are scattered like stars, and waterfalls and great rivers rush within them.
As one of the top Taoist lineages in the Three Thousand Provinces, it has a long history and, as an open lineage, has a large number of disciples.
Moreover, the satellite cities centered around Tianxian Academy, when connected together, are even larger than Tianxian Academy itself, and are quite lively.
The number of cultivators coming and going, and the number of geniuses, is truly as numerous as carp crossing a river.
As soon as Li Dao and his companions entered the location of the Heavenly Immortal Academy, they were all amazed by the magnificent buildings. Even Jin Yan, the young master of Cangyun City, was deeply impressed.
"I thought Cangyun City was magnificent enough, but I didn't expect that a satellite city here would be even bigger than Cangyun City!"
"As expected of one of the top powers in the Three Thousand Provinces, even its subordinate forces are so powerful."
Qi Mu and his companion entered one of the satellite cities. Listening to Jin Yan's words, they couldn't help but laugh:
“These satellite cities have a floating population of over a million, not to mention their long history, with many families residing here and having intricate connections with the Tianxian Academy.”
Everywhere Li Dao looked was filled with people, and the sounds of various vendors hawking their wares filled the air, making it even more bustling than a market in the mortal world.
"Hey, the Ten Beauties of Tianxian Academy has been updated again? Any explanation for the new additions?"
"Fairy Phoenix Dance is still on the list. Her beauty is truly something that even women would be ashamed of."
Li Dao saw many cultivators gathered in front of a stall, pointing and gesturing from time to time.
"These guys are making such a fuss about the fairies in the academy, aren't they afraid of getting beaten up?"
Qi Mu shook his head, offering no comment on such behavior.
It's just a matter of mutual consent.
Li Dao also withdrew his gaze, not paying much attention to the so-called beauty list, but more interested in the Heavenly Ranking. However, Jin Yan had already been drawn to it.
Before long, Jin Yan had a booklet in her hand, which contained portraits of various fairies.
"These fairies are indeed extraordinary in appearance and have an exceptional temperament. No wonder they are on the list."
Li Dao's lips twitched as he watched Jin Yan watching with great interest, and he couldn't help but think to himself:
"It turns out that it's not just men who like to look at beautiful women; beautiful women like to look at beautiful women even more."
Li Dao withdrew his gaze and followed Qi Mu through the bustling satellite city, arriving at a magnificent gate. The gate seemed to be forged from the stars of the heavens, exuding a terrifying pressure.
Standing in front of it is like facing a vast universe.
Twelve towering stone pillars stand on either side of the main gate, each requiring several people to encircle it. They are engraved with various auspicious beasts and divine birds, bearing witness to the vicissitudes of time.
This place is a sacred place for many people to cultivate the Tao. Even some scions of powerful families would travel across states just to seek the Tao.
Inside the academy are ancient sacred sites, ancient stone carvings, as well as the sect leader's secret chamber and the Heavenly God's Dharma Hall. Entering them will bring you great rewards.
The insights of sages left behind in the academy are enough to save countless hours of spiritual practice.
Li Dao stood before the door, watching the crowd inside. Many young people entered with their heads held high, while others walked out dejectedly.
The protectors behind those young prodigies are at least Divine Fire experts.
"Is this a selection process for disciples?"
