"What should I do?" Shi Hao asked.

The willow tree remained silent, but instead stretched out a branch and slowly approached Li Dao.

"Examine your true self, clarify your aspirations and set lofty goals," Li Dao said with a deep gaze.

"How do we do it?" Willow's voice came again.

"Transcendence is too lofty, the strongest is like a castle in the air, and immortality is still far away. Only by comprehending life and death, understanding one's true nature between life and death, and adhering to one's own path can one truly achieve enlightenment."

"The great road is not far from here."

The true meaning of life and death beneath Li Dao transformed into a true diagram of the Great Dao, slowly circulating, causing the vegetation beside the lake to constantly change between withering and flourishing.

Shi Hao suddenly felt enlightened. He had always had lofty ambitions, wanting to transcend, to achieve immortality, and to attain the Great Dao and freedom.

But now that Li Dao had seen through it all, everything seemed so illusory, and he stared intently at the willow tree.

“You have touched the threshold of life and death, which is spot on, but not quite.”

"The Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation is forbidden; attempting to ascend to heaven in one step is impossible."

"To comprehend life, one must go from the extreme of life to the extreme of death."

The sound of the willow tree echoed softly between heaven and earth. The axis of life and death beneath Li Dao began to lose its balance. The cycle of withering and flourishing of plants stopped, and instead began to grow wildly.

A look of understanding flashed in Li Dao's eyes.

He comprehended the changes of life and death from the transformations of Yin and Yang, but his understanding of life and death remained stagnant. At this moment, he received guidance from the willow tree, and the doubts in his heart were immediately resolved.

The willow tree was guiding the two step by step to achieve their goal. Cultivating the Tao is like walking a road. They had already taken the first step, and they should be thinking about taking the second step instead of trying to reach the sky in one step.

"Thank you for your guidance, Master Liu. I have benefited greatly from it."

As Shi Hao listened to Li Dao's conversation among the willow trees, he seemed to be deep in thought. He had originally thought that his cultivation level was about to catch up with Li Dao's.

But in the course of their conversation, he realized that Li Dao had already surpassed him.

"This is your path; even if I don't tell you, you will understand this step."

The willows swayed, as if a thousand roars were emanating from them, and rays of brilliant light shot out.

"This is an ancient method, the only thing I can give you. Walk, observe, and practice it."

As soon as Liu Shu finished speaking, two willow branches immediately touched the two men's foreheads.

Li Dao's body trembled involuntarily, and a golden willow tree appeared in his mind, with various dazzling runes flashing. He slowly closed his eyes.

This is an ancient technique about Nirvana, born from fire, growing stronger with each battle, the supreme method to reach the ultimate state of life.

Li Dao slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, and the Nirvana Technique began to circulate slowly within his body. Streams of emerald green life essence surged from between heaven and earth and flowed into his body.

The many gods watching from afar all showed a hint of envy in their eyes when they saw the two receiving personal instruction from the ancestral spirit, but this was quickly followed by excitement.

Does the revival of ancestral spirits mean that their tribe is saved?

Chang Gongyan and the others were genuinely happy for the two of them to receive the teachings from such a terrifying being.

It was at the moment when the two were receiving the teachings.

There were far fewer cultivators on the edge of the no-man's-land, as they were all drawn by the suddenly activated ancient formation.

Three thousand states, beside the ancient altar in the Central Plains.

One terrifying figure after another awaited them. Experts from various sects across the three thousand states gathered here, their faces tense.

Watching the silver pillar of light shoot into the sky above the altar, piercing through heaven and earth, it was as if a divine kingdom had descended.

"That being is coming!" The leader of the Patching Heaven Sect said solemnly as he looked at the pillar of light.

Upon hearing this, everyone around them tensed up.

The ancient immortal formation, which leads to an unknown place, has been silent for a long time, but today it has changed.

Everyone was curious about what kind of person would descend upon this world.

boom!

With a deafening roar, the silver lightning arc began to rapidly contract, forming a portal. The portal shimmered with silver light, exuding a sense of supreme holiness, as if it were a gateway to the realm of gods.

"Someone's coming!" Everyone's hearts trembled.

Tread!

Heavy, deep footsteps echoed from within the portal, emanating a powerful aura that made many present feel suffocated. Even the gods trembled violently, finding it difficult to withstand the immense pressure.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, three figures emerged from the silver portal. They were all middle-aged, but the sense of vicissitude in their eyes was even stronger than that of some of the old-timers present, indicating that they had lived for a very long time.

The moment the three appeared, the overwhelming aura emanating from them caused even some sect leaders to turn pale, while the true god cultivators trembled like leaves.

Fortunately, the three quickly regained their composure and their gazes swept over everyone present with a scrutinizing look.

Then, five or six young people with slightly weaker auras emerged from behind the three. They were both men and women, and they exuded a powerful vitality.

Chapter 377 Enlightenment of Life, Heavenly Tribulation Resumes

The numerous cultivators outside the remnant formation, upon seeing this arrangement, were immediately filled with a flurry of thoughts.

Who are they?

Leaving aside the three middle-aged men, whose strength was too profound to be fathomed in a short time, the young men, though still young, were all at the Heavenly God Realm, which was quite frightening.

A middle-aged man spoke in an ancient and obscure language, which momentarily stunned everyone.

"We've finally made it through." Only after the old cult leader slowly savored the meaning did he understand its significance.

This surprised everyone. It didn't seem like anything special that the three middle-aged men were speaking ancient language, but the fact that the young men were also speaking ancient language implied something extraordinary.

"This place is so weak, I feel that I alone could sweep away all the young prodigies of this world. I really have no interest in it."

After carefully considering his meaning, the cultivators from the upper realm all changed their expressions. His words were far too arrogant, and their meaning was extremely unfriendly.

However, everyone was soon speechless. Immortal energy suddenly appeared around the man who had spoken so arrogantly, which shocked the cultivators from the upper realm.

A celestial being with an ethereal aura? What kind of monster is this?

There is no such person in the Upper Realm, so it's no wonder that the other party would say such a thing. Even among the geniuses in the Immortal Ancient Realm, none of them have reached the Heavenly God Realm.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that not only the person who spoke, but also the other young men behind him were all imposing and powerful, each one of whom could be considered a dragon among men.

"What a disappointment, they're too weak. Are all the young people in this generation already useless? Are we going to waste our time here?"

Some people echoed the young man's words, their eyes filled with disappointment.

Those young people from the upper realm who had come with their teachers all turned bright red after hearing the ancient sect leader's translation.

Their strength is indeed incomparable to those on the altar, but such words are far too hurtful.

“We may be foolish, but there are others who are no weaker than you, they are just in the ancient immortal ruins!” a cultivator from the upper realm retorted.

"I've heard of that place. I've heard that only cultivators below the level of gods can enter. Those are just minor cultivators. Compared to gods, they're far inferior." The young man shook his head.

He then turned his gaze to the gods of the upper realm without looking at the person who had spoken.

“They are too weak, and your young people are too incompetent, so I would like to have a friendly match with you all.”

He glanced around at the assembled celestial beings, then shook his head and muttered to himself:

"Since we are all equally weak, let's have all the gods attack together."

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent, and the face of the celestial being from the upper realm who had been mentioned immediately darkened.

As the backbone of their respective religious traditions, they were extremely displeased to be so humiliated by a young man who was no more than their grandson's generation.

Meanwhile, in the Immortal Ancient Sacrifice Spirit Realm.

Li Dao slowly woke up, feeling his body becoming lighter and lighter, filled with vitality.

Looking around, he saw everyone staring at him curiously. Shi Hao, who was beside him, had already stood up. The Dharma image by the lake had disappeared, leaving only a branch lying quietly on the ancient temple.

Li Dao also got up and walked towards the crowd.

Soul Island is a precious land suspended in mid-air, filled with auspicious clouds and rosy light, extremely peaceful and sacred.

This is the treasure land of the Eight-Armed Soul Clan. It is located outside the ancestral land of the spirit sacrifice. Today, it is very lively, with many people here.

Li Dao and his companions were invited inside, and along the way, the many gods did not inquire about the magic they had obtained, maintaining their warm hospitality.

"Thank you for your instructions, senior. As long as I don't die, I will definitely retrieve pool after pool of Tribulation Liquid," Shi Hao assured, patting his chest.

After all, the remaining Thunder Tribulation Liquid had been exchanged for quite a few treasures.

In a corner of the banquet, Li Dao sat with Chang Gongyan and others, listening to Shi Hao's words, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face, clearly in a good mood.

Having exchanged the half-bottle of Thunder Tribulation Liquid for a piece of Sage Wood and a considerable amount of precious medicine, he naturally wouldn't mind summoning another heavenly tribulation to seize the Thunder Tribulation Liquid.

Meanwhile, outside, the tribes that failed to obtain the Tribulation Liquid were extremely anxious.

"He harbors resentment towards our clan. Even if we face another tribulation in the future, we're afraid we won't get any of the tribulation liquid!" A celestial being muttered to himself in complaint.

"Hmph! Do you think the tribulation is so easy to overcome? The tribulations that follow will only get stronger and stronger. Next time, those two might just be reduced to ashes!" A god said, clearly displeased.

Li Dao and his companions lived a very comfortable life on Soul Island, paying little attention to the storms and disturbances outside.

"This place is simply paradise! There's an endless supply of holy medicine, and sometimes you can even get a taste of divine medicine!"

Deep within Soul Island, in a treasure trove, Li Dao and his companions were cultivating.

This is a precious cultivation ground for the Eight-Armed Soul Clan, and they went to great lengths to entertain them.

Li Dao looked at the little rabbit, holding a sacred medicine in each hand, its bright red eyes blinking at him, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

He took out a sacred medicine and handed it to her.

The little rabbit's eyes lit up with joy when it saw the golden, fragrant holy medicine.

"Here, take it, go play somewhere else."

Li Dao forced a smile; this wasn't the first time, and he was speechless inside.

"Mmm!" The little rabbit happily accepted the divine medicine and then headed towards Chang Gongyan and the others.

Li Dao shook his head and smiled, then focused his mind and began to cultivate slowly.

We can't waste such a good opportunity; it was all thanks to Shi Hao spending time with the old man outside.

At this moment, Shi Hao was discussing with the gods the matter of invoking another tribulation of lightning.
