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

The next moment, ripples spread through the void, and the figures of Li Dao and the others slowly appeared.

"You're getting more and more brutal," Li Dao said with a light laugh as he looked at Shi Hao, then turned and nodded to Huo Ling'er behind Shi Hao.

"Senior Brother Li, you've come too." Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he saw Li Dao.

Lin Tian, ​​standing behind Li Dao, couldn't help but curl his lip, inwardly thinking:

"You are the most brutal one, yet you have the nerve to call others brutal."

The four people who also belonged to the Heavenly God Academy, upon seeing Li Dao and the others appear, glanced at Lin Tian and already knew the outcome.

Only by defeating any one of the five could one board the ferry. Seeing Lin Tian's eagerness to get away from Li Dao, he couldn't help but narrow his gaze when he looked at Li Dao again.

"That must be the Dao Yi who's been making headlines all over the place. Just from his stance, you can tell he's incredibly strong!"

"Find an opportunity to ask Lin Tian what exactly happened."

The four students from the Heavenly God Academy exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.

Li Dao was unaware of the thoughts of the four people from the Heavenly God Academy, but seeing Shi Hao's appearance, he figured he must have recovered.

After exchanging words with Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er for a while, Shi Hao followed Li Dao and the others onto the flying boat.

The flying boat did not stop, but sailed into the Central Plains. After an unknown period of time, it arrived at a huge cliff.

Two people stood before the precipice, like supreme beings enshrined in a temple, their bodies emanating a natural order and rules, and as they slowly raised their eyes, they seemed to glimpse the myriad paths of the heavens.

Li Dao and Shi Hao slowly stood up, their eyes filled with satisfaction as they looked at each other.

The two learned a great deal from their discussions during this period.

Shi Hao was immediately startled when he saw the two terrifying beings; they were two extremely terrifying beings.

Li Dao glanced at Sui An, who was sitting cross-legged on the ferry, his eyes thoughtful.

"Are you all willing to become my disciples?" one of them asked.

"We already have a master, please forgive us," Li Dao and Shi Hao said in unison.

“I know you have a connection with that willow tree, but I won’t force you to make a choice.” The man nodded and did not press the two further.

At this moment, Feng Wu, Shan Dianzi, and Huo Ling'er also stood behind the two.

Shi Hao glanced at Huo Ling'er, his eyes darting around, and then he said:

"Could you bring family members along?"

Lin Tian and the other four also came out of the cabin. When they heard Shi Hao's words, they looked at each other in surprise. Only this little devil could ask such a question.

Huo Ling'er's expression also became tense, naturally hoping to stay by Shi Hao's side.

Upon hearing this, the two figures were somewhat amused and exasperated. While other talented individuals were always filled with trepidation in their presence, Shi Hao was the first to dare to ask such a question.

"Do you know where you're going? This isn't a sightseeing trip. You yourself might not even survive. Are you sure you can bring others with you?" one person asked with interest.

"Where are we going?" Shi Hao scratched his head and asked embarrassedly.

"You must first learn about the ancient covenant with the many geniuses of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and go to an ancient city. Only those who pass the test can enter the academy," another person explained from the side.

"Where is that city?" Lightning asked impatiently.

"Beyond three thousand states, in the deepest part of the boundless forbidden zone," came An Youyou's voice.

Apart from Li Dao and Lin Tian, ​​who were able to remain calm, Shi Hao and the others couldn't help but change their expressions.

Beyond the Three Thousand Provinces lies a vast and expansive world, and the forbidden zones are even more formidable. To join the academy, one must venture deep into these forbidden zones, which is indeed far too dangerous.

"This is a path you must take, a test, and a trial, to let you know what kind of enemies you will face in the future," another person said coldly.

"Isn't this too cruel? So many talented people have perished in the forbidden zone. Isn't this depleting the fighting strength of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths?" Shi Hao couldn't help but retort.

"You don't understand how terrifying real war is. It's not about the death of one person or a hundred people. It's about the fall of trillions of lives, the bloodshed of immortals, and the collapse of the universe."

“Countless powerful beings perished in the previous era, let alone in this one. In our view, it is better to cultivate a celestial dragon than a worm!”

The middle-aged man in the black robe had a piercing gaze and spoke as if he was suppressing something. He stared intently at the group, revealing the cruelty of war to everyone in his words.

Such words are blunt, and with a few casual remarks, they depict the downfall of countless ambitious young talents, but they also suggest that war is not far off.

This extreme training method immediately put immense pressure on everyone, and even Lin Tian and the others couldn't help but feel a momentary suffocation.

Entering the Heavenly God Academy is destined to be a bloody and turbulent journey, where anything can happen. It requires the birth of a being capable of stabilizing the world, so conventional methods will not be used.

Li Dao remained silent, but he could sense a sense of urgency from their words.

“The selection methods in other ancient realms are even more brutal than this,” Sui An added quietly.

The implication is that the tests for the numerous cultivators in the Three Thousand Provinces have been significantly relaxed.

"This realm is a battlefield remnant, where ancient roads have been sealed. The resulting field has a far-reaching influence, resulting in a limited number of geniuses produced in this realm. Therefore, the standards will be relaxed," the gray-robed Taoist explained.

A hush fell over the scene. Seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, the gray-robed Taoist priest spoke up at the opportune moment:

"However, we are not asking you to go and die. There is an ancient road leading to that ancient city, which will be much safer."

Another person also spoke up:

"Alright, whether you are willing to continue is up to you. There is no shortage of geniuses in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Many young supreme beings in other ancient realms have already passed the test. You should have made your choice by now."

After saying that, the two turned their gazes to the group of people, waiting for their choice.

“I am willing to go.” Li Dao stepped forward, his expression not showing much emotion; he already had his answer before he came.

"I want to follow the boss!" Lightning shouted, coming up behind Li Dao.

"So many geniuses from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths are competing on the same stage, how interesting." Feng Wu took a step forward, her red skirt swaying, showing off her heroic and dashing figure.

“Alright, I’ll go see what’s inside that so-called restricted area.” Shi Hao nodded and stepped forward.

"Wherever you go, I will go with you. I don't want to be separated from you again." Huo Ling'er's eyes flickered, and she quickly made a decision.

Seeing this, Sui An also stepped forward.

"Throughout history, countless supreme beings have achieved their status through hard work and cultivation. The situation in the Three Thousand Provinces is unique, so it would be better to relax the standards a bit more."

Sui An spoke up, and the two exchanged a glance and quickly reached a conclusion through telepathy.

"If that's the case, then let's relax the standards a bit."

"The test will be open to all young prodigies. As long as you can reach that ancient city, you will have succeeded and be qualified to leave this world and enter the academy for cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the tense expressions on everyone's faces relaxed; the addition of more people meant a greater chance of success.

The next moment, a rumbling sound of the Dao resounded across the sky above the Three Thousand Dao States, and the news spread at an astonishing speed.

Cultivators from all over the world were instantly excited, and many of the geniuses who had not been selected felt that their fortunes had taken a turn for the better upon hearing the news.

Chapter 413 Foreign Royal Family

Seeing this, Li Dao on the other side had a strange glint in his eyes and said in a low voice:

"I don't know how long it will be before I can return after this parting."

When Shi Hao heard that Huo Ling'er was also going with him, he subconsciously wanted to leave her in the Three Thousand Provinces. However, looking at her determined eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say the words stuck in his throat.

Li Dao's words flashed through his mind, and in the end, he didn't say anything more.

“Alright, let’s go together then.” Shi Hao nodded slowly in agreement.

“In that case, let’s go,” Li Dao said to Shi Hao in front of him.

The two middle-aged men were somewhat surprised that they had made their decision so quickly.

“Many of the geniuses from the Three Thousand Provinces are still on their way. Shouldn’t we wait for them to go in together? Traveling together would likely reduce a lot of trouble,” one of the middle-aged men said.

Li Dao understood his meaning; using the remaining geniuses of the three thousand Dao Prefectures as shields could avoid a lot of trouble, but he still shook his head:

"We will all be comrades in the future, and I cannot crush their hopes now."

"Hopefully, amidst all the mud and sand, we can sift out a few pieces of gold."

Shi Hao and the others nodded in agreement; they wouldn't stoop to using such despicable tactics.

“Alright, then you may set off.” The other person said with satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the stars in the sky transformed into array patterns and combined together. In the blink of an eye, a large array appeared under everyone’s feet.

The array emitted divine light, and terrifying teleportation power flickered; it was a long-distance teleportation array.

hum!

The formation trembled slightly, and everyone instantly vanished from their original spot.

Just as everyone disappeared from Zhongzhou, the matter of the trials in the Three Thousand Provinces had already become common knowledge. However, unlike the joy of many prodigies, the high-ranking members of various sects couldn't help but frown.

"Even the former leader of the Creation Academy, a being of such profound skill as Creation, perished in the forbidden zone. You should think twice before going in."

"Throughout history, very few cultivators have ever managed to pass through the forbidden zone and emerge safely. Most of you are destined to perish within it. Even so, do you still wish to go in?"

When some important figures spoke, the restless atmosphere in the Three Thousand Provinces immediately cooled down, like a bucket of cold water being poured on them, extinguishing the burning flames of many aspiring young people.

It is a fact that the Three Thousand Provinces are vast and boundless, but the forbidden zone is even more expansive, filled with all sorts of unknown dangers, and stepping into it is destined to result in a near-death experience.

Even if a relatively safe road is opened up, it is only relatively safe; no one knows what dangers might be encountered.

To gamble and conquer the world, or to remain steadfast in one's three thousand states? That is the choice.

In the following days, the entire three thousand states were embroiled in heated arguments over this matter, with uproar taking place everywhere.

"Do you think you are Dao Yi or Huang? Once you step onto this path, you will surely die without a burial place!"

"That's right, that's right. Without cultivating immortal energy, they are far inferior to Dao Yi and others. It's impossible for them to enter by luck alone."

"..."

However, some cultivators disagreed with them and retorted:

"Throughout history, many supreme powerhouses have achieved greatness late in life. I firmly believe that when I step into the realm of gods, I will be no weaker than anyone else!"

"Cultivation and seeking truth are all about struggle. If you don't have the awareness to fight to the death, what's the point of cultivating truth? You might as well go home and farm!"

The upper realm became increasingly noisy, with all sorts of opinions swirling around.

However, just as many cultivators in the upper realm were arguing, a message immediately broke the noise, causing many people to be shocked.

Li Dao and Shi Hao, along with their followers, embarked on the path of trials.

The news caused an uproar in the already chaotic Upper Realm, and many young people with ideas could no longer suppress their excitement.
