There are still three thousand stone steps, and on each step, nearly a million people are struggling to climb, all wanting to be the first to reach the top.

Three thousand ancient bluestone paths, bearing witness to different grand avenues, and standing on them brings immense pressure.

This path has existed since ancient times and is the most obvious way to select the most outstanding talents.

With his hands behind his back, Li Dao stood out on the stone steps where he stood.

Golden light flashed in his eyes, and each step he took produced a crisp sound, as if striking the great road, echoing for a long time on the ancient path.

Only Ge Qian was able to keep up with him, while the rest could only watch Li Dao's figure grow further and further away.

But with the flames of war burning in their eyes, they continued to move forward with difficulty.

The other ancient roads seem to be similar, with one always dominating the scene, and that is the cruelty of these ancient roads.

Only one person out of a million will stand out.

Li Dao's speed was getting slower and slower, not because of the pressure on him, but because he was gaining more and more insights and was stuck at a critical point.

He wasn't simply traveling; he was using his Martial Arts Heavenly Eye to continuously comprehend the Dao essence on the bluestone path.

And along the way, we gained a lot.

Cultivation is always stuck at a certain bottleneck. After constantly comprehending the Great Dao on the ancient bluestone road, he has vaguely touched that barrier.

His speed slowed down as he became more and more attracted by the grand path marked on the ancient bluestone road, immersing himself completely in it.

Time passed slowly, and Ge Qian had already surpassed Li Dao. Just as he was about to boast a few words, he saw Li Dao standing as straight as a pine tree, his eyes opening and closing instinctively.

It seems to be capturing the changes in the Dao between heaven and earth.

This is enlightenment!

Ge Qian opened his mouth in disbelief. He had seen all sorts of extraordinary talents, but to be able to comprehend the Dao here showed just how high their talent was.

He had been so confident in surpassing his opponent that he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. He turned around and headed upwards, leaving behind a comment as he went.

"Once we enter the Divine Fire, we will surely have a great battle!"

"Just you wait!"

Then one by one, people overtook Li Dao, and each of them glanced at Li Dao with surprise.

Li Dao, like an inconspicuous, stubborn rock, sat in a corner of the bluestone road.

At the end of that ancient road, some people had already reached the summit.

"It's Ning Chuan, the six-time champion! He's reached the top! He's currently battling it out!"

After reaching the summit in Ningchuan, he left his inscription on the back of the stone tablet and directly entered the Colorful Ancient Realm to undergo a transformation and breakthrough.

The many religious leaders outside watched as the smooth stone tablet reflected the colorful image of the ancient land.

The older cultivators didn't seem to notice anything, but the younger cultivators couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief.

Those were tiny bubble balls, each enveloping a different region, moving many powerful beings to tears.

On the ninth day, some people broke through their cultivation level and entered those enclosed areas in search of opportunities.

But Li Dao was still on the ancient bluestone road, with a group of outstanding talents struggling forward beside him.

However, the battle between these prodigies has also begun.

A red-haired youth raised a patch of black flames, as if opening up a world, and the void trembled with every move he made.

"I have cultivated the Great Burning Heaven Technique to its ultimate level, and I will slay you so-called strongest of our time and ascend to the Great Dao alone!"

Opposite him was the successor of the Immortal Palace, whose combined power with his secondary body was also extremely strong.

"You want to kill me? You're not quite there yet!"

Although both were Venerables, the power of their clash was like that of gods battling, causing the entire world to tremble.

In addition, a major battle is also taking place between Chang Gongyan, Dugu Yun, and others.

They are vying for the ancient land, seeking to ignite the divine fire for their own transformation and find the most perfect and suitable treasure land.

Such a treasure trove is extremely rare, and every ambitious first generation wants to compete for it.

The battle between them shocked even the most powerful figures and religious leaders outside the sect.

"As expected of the last time the flowers bloom, the geniuses who have emerged are far stronger than before."

An old cult leader exclaimed in surprise.

The cult leaders who had experienced it firsthand nodded in agreement; they understood it best.

This was the swan song of the end of the era, and the monsters that emerged were indeed much stronger.

"I wish I had been born in this era, which is destined to be a golden age, but I am already old!" even a god sighed.

Looking at the prodigies on the stage freely expressing their spirits, how could one not feel longing?

Chapter 324 An Alternative Path to Godhood

The battles continued, but some ancient oddities, with a more thorough understanding of the Splendid Ancient Realm, charged directly into their chosen areas.

The objective is very clear.

This wasn't their first time participating; the accumulated experience of several generations was now playing a significant role.

Clearly, these ancient oddities all want to go to the ancient realm they have predetermined in their hearts to ignite the divine fire and transform the accumulation of several lifetimes into the most powerful foundation.

Many people lit the divine fire on the bluestone steps, but they were not the first generation, nor were they people who had been hidden away in ancient times; they were just ordinary geniuses.

Even if they were to enter the Colorful Ancient Realm, given their qualifications, they might not be able to seize a prime location for their transformation.

It would be better to be faster in one step and reach a higher realm first, using that realm to overwhelm others and seize opportunities.

This is a good alternative approach.

However, cultivators who aspire to the highest level will not begin their transformation at this time.

The longer the transformation takes, the more solid the foundation will be. Those ancient freaks accumulated over several lifetimes just to make their transformation last longer.

This is the stark reality.

Those with extraordinary talent exchange time for a stronger foundation in the Dao, while those with average talent exchange time for resources.

This is a rule that everyone agrees on.

However, when Li Dao's figure was reflected in the petals of the immortal path, many powerful figures and sect leaders outside the area showed surprise.

"Dao Yi? Why is he still here? As part of the first echelon, shouldn't he have already entered the Ancient Realm? Could it be that he's encountered some difficulties?"

"What's the point of meditating on the stone steps? He's just ruining his own future."

"What is he trying to do? Does he want to change the rules?"

A powerful being saw the runes flying around Li Dao's body, which he recognized as the posture of someone entering a meditative state of enlightenment, and couldn't help but sneer.

In the battle of prodigies, a step behind means a step behind. At this time, most prodigies had entered the ancient realm, but Li Dao was still here, comprehending the Dao essence on the bluestone steps.

He prepared to ignite his divine fire on the ancient bluestone road, just like those cultivators of average talent.

Many powerful figures see this as a self-degrading act that ruins one's future.

Even the elders of the Celestial Academy were somewhat disappointed by this scene.

Li Dao was one of their most promising talents, but when he saw the figure on the ancient bluestone road, his eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration.

They could only turn away from the screen, and the figures that appeared on it left the group of cult leaders astonished.

"That's Huang! Is he still on the steps?"

"It is said that these two know each other, and it seems that birds of a feather flock together."

The image reflected Shi Hao's appearance, sitting cross-legged on the bluestone steps with his eyes slightly closed, also fully comprehending the Dao.

At this moment, Elder Tianxian's face had turned completely black.

No matter what, Huang was a member of their Heavenly Immortal Academy, and had previously shown outstanding performance.

But looking at Shi Hao reflected in the stone tablet, he seemed so displeasing to the eye.

"What a waste of talent! There are so many treasure lands in the Colorful Ancient Realm; it would be much better to just grab any one of them than to undergo transformation here!"

However, the two who were cultivating their understanding on the ancient bluestone road could not hear the elder's thoughts.

Just as everyone turned away from the camera, Li Dao finally moved.

hum!

His body trembled, and the only cave behind him appeared, like a divine halo illuminating the three thousand ancient bluestone paths.

Inside, the stars twinkled like a sea, with countless strands of starlight falling down, making it appear as if it were a celestial ruler sitting atop the nine heavens.

His body trembled slightly, his skin shimmered with mysterious light, and his blood and qi surged like a mighty river.

"The three thousand ancient bluestone paths correspond to the three thousand laws, and by gathering all the myriad paths within one body, they will surely be able to forge the strongest path!"

"Instead of expending effort searching in the ancient realm, it is better to comprehend the Three Thousand Blue Stone Ancient Road, which is the supreme opportunity."

“Those treasures that have owners or are hidden away are best suited for me to transform on this ancient bluestone road.”

It wasn't that he had lost his mind; he did it out of desperation.

Firstly, the ancient world is complex and dangerous, and it is not certain that one can find a suitable place to undergo transformation.

If one has accumulated and explored transformation methods over several lifetimes, they certainly wouldn't waste time here.

Moreover, the only way to narrow the gap accumulated over generations with those ancient freaks is to use the most explosive methods.

Secondly, the transformation on the bluestone steps is the simplest yet most dangerous way to transform.

More importantly, with Shi Hao's excellent example before him, he felt more confident.

I know this is a viable path.

"In the original timeline, Shi Hao was able to draw upon the three thousand Great Dao Laws and achieve godhood in an unconventional way. With my strength, he is certainly no match for him!"

"However, we cannot simply follow the book; we must forge our own path through exploration!"

Although Shi Hao succeeded in the original timeline, his success was not replicable. The saying "those who learn from me will live, while those who imitate me will die" applies to this situation.

What he needs to do is to build upon this foundation and forge his own path.
