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

The name 'Dao Yi' has firmly secured its position at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

"Dao Yi really topped the Heavenly Ranking! He's just too strong!"

"How could it be fake? Didn't you see Feng Wu's name ranked second?"

Everyone in the academy was talking about Li Dao. Many people saw Li Dao as someone to follow in their footsteps, while others regarded him as their idol.

Most notably, the usually low-profile Extreme Killing Dojo has seen at least a dozen groups of academy disciples come to inquire whether they can become Li Dao's followers.

Li Dao sat cross-legged on the futon, his body swirling with wisps of killing intent through his pores, using his Daoist body to comprehend the true meaning of killing intent.

Jin Yan was outside, excitedly talking about it.

"Many people want to join the master's ranks now. I wonder how to deal with this?"

"Among them are female disciples on the list of most beautiful women."

When Jin Yan mentioned the list of beauties, her tone was somewhat strange. Most of the women on this list had the support of powerful families, and their motives were self-evident.

At this moment, wanting to join Li Dao's ranks naturally came with ulterior motives.

Having a child with one of those monstrous beings is enough to bring the entire family to its peak.

Li Dao listened to Jin Yan's words with a calm and composed expression, personally experiencing the rage of killing intent and feeling the overwhelming sense of destruction.

He spoke in a calm tone:

"Followers should be of high quality, not many, and I've already turned them all down."

Chapter 289 Tribulation-Crossing Divine Lotus

Li Dao's tone remained completely calm.

He doesn't care much about so-called followers; if they can't keep up with him, they'll become a burden.

So I take it rather lightly.

However, Jin Yan was overjoyed to hear Li Dao's words. She felt both relieved to see Li Dao's firm resolve and happy to be recognized.

After taking his leave and not disturbing Li Dao any longer, the cultivation room returned to its previous quiet state.

Only the red light, emanating killing intent, flickered faintly in the training room.

After finishing his miscellaneous tasks, Li Dao returned to his meditative state, and the character "kill" he drew with his fingers appeared even more sharp and menacing.

However, the peaceful days soon came to an end.

On the third day after the Heavenly Ranking was announced.

Outside the Extreme Killing Dojo, the void suddenly shattered as a Heavenly God Elder descended, carrying with him supreme will.

Li Dao suddenly opened his eyes, and the blood-red characters in front of him trembled slightly as his energy was connected.

With a flick of his sleeve, he disappeared from the cultivation room.

The elder who had come on orders, whose originally indifferent gaze was moved upon arriving at the Extreme Killing Grounds.

"Tsk! This killing intent does have some of that madman's flair."

Thinking of Chen Qing, I couldn't help but picture the scene of him forcefully breaking through the mountain gate with a single finger and joining the academy.

His expression became unnatural, as if an invisible gaze was fixed on him.

I just want to finish the mission and go back as soon as possible.

Just then, the void shattered.

Li Dao, with his handsome appearance, flowing robes, and a faint killing intent emanating from him, emerged from the void passage.

Upon seeing Li Dao, the elder interrupted him before he could even offer his greetings:

"Those who ascend to the Heavenly Ranking can enter the Immortal Pool to comprehend cultivation. Dao Yi, have you decided when you will enter?"

Li Dao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the elder, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"This disciple is ready and will enter the Immortal Pool to cultivate today."

Jin Yan had already told him about the possibility of entering the Immortal Pool.

He made this decision after much deliberation.

The elder nodded slightly, gave Li Dao a black token, and then left the Extreme Killing Dojo.

The killing intent hidden deep within the Extreme Killing Dojo sent chills down his spine, making him unwilling to linger there any longer.

Li Dao looked at the token in his hand, and after instructing Jin Yan to take care of the dojo, he headed straight for the depths of the academy.

Along the way, many academy disciples stopped and looked at Li Dao with awe.

At this time, Li Dao's reputation was at its peak, so no fool dared to cause trouble.

As we walked along the cobblestone path deeper into the academy, we encountered fewer and fewer disciples along the way.

The route was densely covered with arrays, making it difficult to enter amidst the flashing runes. Moreover, these arrays had far-reaching consequences if any one of them was disturbed.

Once it erupts, its power is unimaginable, so there is a concern that unauthorized people might accidentally wander in.

After crossing a mountainous area, auspicious vapors suddenly rose ahead, indicating that they had arrived at a treasure land.

There were powerful celestial beings patrolling ahead, and if Li Dao hadn't been holding the token, those powerful beings would have attacked without hesitation the next moment.

"Go in. The top-ranked person on the Heavenly Ranking can cultivate here for ten days. If they exceed the time limit, they will be forcibly expelled."

"Remember this!"

Li Dao took the token from the black-armored celestial being and stepped into that treasure land.

After passing through several arrays, they finally arrived at a place shrouded in mist.

This is a large body of water. Even before getting close, you can smell a fragrance that cleanses the mind and soothes the meridians.

A misty haze hung over the water, with shimmering light and a rich, vibrant energy permeating the entire world.

"This fairy pool is truly vast; no wonder it's one of the academy's most prestigious features!"

The lake shimmered like divine nectar, carrying a refreshing fragrance.

Li Dao felt his pores open up, and his skin, damaged by the killing intent, was healing rapidly, making him feel much lighter.

"My physical activity has increased, and my life essence is slowly growing. The effects of this Immortal Pool water are truly extraordinary," Li Dao murmured, stepping onto the water's surface and heading towards the depths.

The deeper one goes, the more concentrated the essence in the air becomes, and the stronger the power of the laws becomes.

There has long been a rumor that a celestial corpse was buried beneath the Immortal Pool, which merged with the Dao and transformed into this pool of sweet spring water.

The transformed immortal essence is sealed deep at the bottom of the lake, never gushing out all at once, but flowing gently and continuously, nourishing the entire academy and making it a place of outstanding people and abundant resources.

The further Li Dao went, the clearer the power of laws permeating the air became, and he began to believe the rumors to some extent.

As Li Dao strolled through the layers of void, he soon arrived at the center of the lake, and as soon as he got close, he sensed the unusual nature of the center of the lake.

The ripples in this space continued to spread, like a water mirror lying across the front.

"There's actually a small world existing right here?"

"Perhaps this is the true core of the Immortal Pool."

Stepping into the small world, one finds it shrouded in mist and radiant with divine light, its laws as dense as a net, terrifying beyond measure.

The formations are densely packed everywhere, and one might step into several formations with a single step. It can be said that one step involves ten formations, each one different.

A single move can have far-reaching consequences; it is both ingenious and perilous.

Without a token, even a celestial being would be instantly obliterated if they entered.

Li Dao even saw lightning flashing deep within that small world.

After safely passing through layers of arrays, they arrived inside, where the life essence of the lake suddenly became more than ten times stronger.

He took a deep breath, and the hidden injuries accumulated in his body due to the tempering of his body with killing intent were slowly being healed.

He continued walking deeper into the area, and the deeper he went, the more he could feel his divine sense being suppressed, even his Martial Heavenly Eye could not be used.

However, he remained calm and moved forward steadily.

Around him, rays of light spilled out and transformed into rainbows hanging in the sky, with flashes of lightning every now and then, making it look incredibly beautiful.

With his divine sense suppressed, Li Dao didn't know how long he walked. Finally, after walking another hundred meters or so, he felt a powerful life force.

It was a divine essence containing a great deal of life force, making one feel as if they were floating on air.

Looking ahead, one immediately sees a very large ancient tree.

Its entire body is golden, and its trunk is as strong as a dragon. It would take more than ten people to encircle it. It is like a lurking golden dragon, with countless golden lotus leaves growing around it.

This is the Tribulation-Transcending Divine Lotus, but its roots are far too enormous, even thicker and more powerful than the divine tree.

Growing on the water surface, they directly occupy a large area of ​​water.

But what's most surprising is that it's surrounded by a dense array of lightning bolts, like streaks of silver, gold, and purple lightning intertwined and tightly enveloping it.

Although they come in different colors, their power is boundless; just looking at them makes one feel a stinging sensation from their primordial spirit.

"This is the Tribulation-Crossing Divine Lotus. It truly lives up to its name, undergoing tribulation every single moment."

"But the fact that it can actually trigger a lightning tribulation shows that this divine lotus is truly extraordinary!"

After the Immortal Ancient Era, the laws of heaven and earth changed drastically, and no living being would face heavenly tribulations when breaking through to new realms. However, the tribulation-crossing divine lotus before us was an exception.

However, there are also rumors that someone glimpsed a corner of the future, and that cultivators who have not undergone the tribulation of lightning will all be subjected to it in the future. The combined power of many trials that they have never experienced before is unimaginable.

Although Li Dao didn't know if it was true or not, he wasn't too worried. Since the tribulation of lightning wasn't manifesting in this era, he could just get through it even if it did.

That's how confident he is, given his current combat strength.

"Having endured such a long tribulation since the ancient times to the present world, what an incredibly rebellious being this is."

"And what a difficult path of transformation it must have been."

He murmured something and then stopped paying attention, his gaze falling directly on an inner lake where the divine lotus had taken root.

It was an enormous pool, the liquid inside radiating a golden light and gushing forth like magma.

In this place where divine lightning intertwined and branches flourished, coupled with the suppression of his divine sense, Li Dao would not have been able to find it at all if he hadn't deliberately searched for it.

Holding the token, the lightning that had been cascading down like a waterfall parted to both sides, and he slowly walked towards the pool.
