He shook his head, saying nothing more.
Li Dao took a cursory tour of the training ground and was quite satisfied. There were eleven great mountains in this area, full of vital energy and ever-changing scenery, all of which were treasure lands for cultivation. These would be the places where he would recruit followers to cultivate in the future.
Upon arriving at the highest peak, the three large characters 'Jinyuan Peak' are imprinted on the mountain, shimmering with golden light.
Li Dao felt something was off. With a flick of his sleeve, the writing was erased. He raised his hand and, with the strokes of a brush, unleashed boundless Daoist wisdom from beneath his fingertips.
"From now on, it will be renamed Dao Yi Feng."
After saying this, the name "Dao Yi" replaced the original "Jin Yuan Feng," and with these actions completed, the dojo officially changed hands.
On Dao Yi Peak, there is a cave with a divine spring waterfall hanging beside it. Inside the cave, wisps of chaotic energy flow out from the excavated area. In one corner of the cave, there is a small chaotic pool that receives the cascading chaotic energy.
Originally Jin Yuan's cultivation cave, it now belonged to him. Stepping inside, he felt the rich spiritual energy rushing towards him; it truly was an unparalleled sacred place for cultivation.
"However, it would be a bit of a waste to leave it with Jin Yuan."
With a flick of his sleeve, Li Dao placed the bronze spear and the refining furnace into the chaotic pool, where they were tempered by chaotic energy to enhance their hardness.
He made some minor arrangements inside the cave and nodded in satisfaction. However, when he went out, he saw Tie Kui still standing at the door.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Li Dao asked curiously.
"I... um... I'd like to stay here and continue growing herbs, is that alright?" Tie Kui stammered for a while, then asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"If I go back now, I will surely be kicked out by Lord Jinyuan, and my grandfather and the others will be very disappointed."
Tie Kui looked at Li Dao with hopeful eyes, the burly man now acting as cautious as a woman.
Looking at the vast dojo, Li Dao realized that it wouldn't do to leave it unattended. After careful consideration, he decided to keep the other person there, and if he sensed any disloyalty, he could simply send them away.
"Then you may continue managing the medicinal fields," Li Dao said, waving his hand to dismiss the other party.
"Thank you, thank you!" Tie Kui's eyes were full of gratitude. After thanking Li Dao repeatedly, he left.
After Tie Kui left, he went straight back to his cave and began to study the Dao, striving to hone his physique and Dao techniques to their fullest potential before the great calamity arrived.
However, while things were peaceful at the dojo, things were quite turbulent outside.
In a corner of the academy, a group of cultivators gathered together, whispering among themselves:
"Have you heard? Not long ago, Jin Yuan challenged Li Dao, but he was defeated by Li Dao with just one finger!"
"Really? That's a prodigy who emerged from the Longevity Realm! He couldn't even withstand Li Dao's finger strike?!"
"I know now, even Jin Yuanlian's dojo has been taken away!"
"..."
The conflict between Li Dao and Jin Yuan spread throughout the entire Tianshen Academy in less than half a day.
On another vast, pristine land, two figures sat facing each other.
A woman with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, a slender waist, and a smiling face exuded allure in every movement.
The other woman had a slender and upright figure, long and slender legs, and fair skin that glowed with a moon-like luster, as if the moonlight was shining down on the earth and surrounded her with a clear yin light, but her face showed some sorrow.
"Everyone outside is saying that Li Daoyi suppressed Jin Yuan with a single finger. How come you really have no interest at all?" Qi Lin looked at her best friend with a smile, her tone full of teasing.
“That Jin Yuan is nothing but a spoiled brat who bullies others with his power. What’s there to say about defeating him?” Yao Yue rolled her eyes at Qi Lin, annoyed.
Qi Lin shrugged and said in a low voice:
"But your uncle thinks highly of him and even asked you to meet him. Why did you agree so readily before, and now you're going back on your word?"
Mentioning Xu Zheng and Yue also gave him a headache. Everything else was fine, but his unreliable uncle was indeed a headache for him.
"Let's take it one step at a time and see what happens," Yaoyue said quietly.
Just as news of Li Dao's battle with Jin Yuan was spreading at an astonishing speed, Li Dao had been cultivating in the Pure Land for less than three days when someone came knocking on his door.
Outside the dojo, several figures floated in. Some held jade bottles, some held black broadswords, and some held pagodas. They gathered outside the dojo.
They were all geniuses from the Boundless Heaven, and everyone who came here looked terrible.
"We can't let Li Dao continue to be so arrogant. Yu Wushuang has been defeated, Jin Yuan has been defeated, and now everyone outside is saying that Wuliangtian has no one left! How can we tolerate such a disgrace!" the man holding the pagoda said coldly.
"We have come here, and we are confident that we can suppress them. Even if it is said that our victory was unfair, it is still better than letting them continue to roam free," the woman holding the jade bottle replied gently.
"We must suppress him, otherwise where will our world's reputation be?" someone said as soon as the two finished speaking.
Meanwhile, some people secretly came over, wanting to see Li Dao's true strength, including Yu Wushuang.
His face looked extremely ugly. Ever since he entered the academy, the ridicule about him had never stopped, and he was despised wherever he went.
His hatred for Li Dao was uncontrollable. If it weren't for Li Dao, he would still be a respected prodigy, but now everything was ruined.
However, to his delight, Jin Yuan also fell to Li Dao's hand, and fewer eyes were on him. But the moment a hint of schadenfreude arose, it was replaced by greater panic.
"If he grows up and finds out that Jia De was acting on my orders, I will definitely die!"
Yu Wushuang's eyes gradually deepened, revealing an unyielding tyranny and fear.
boom!
Just as everyone was anticipating the battle, the man holding the pagoda punched the protective array of the dojo, immediately unleashing a deafening roar.
"Li Dao! Do you dare to come out and fight?"
The Daoist voice resounded far and wide. Inside the cave, Li Dao slowly opened his eyes. He had already noticed the people outside. He didn't want to pay attention to them, but unexpectedly, they came to him on their own.
"Since they've come to me of their own accord, I won't be polite."
After the leader finished speaking, Li Dao did not respond for a long time. Just as he thought Li Dao was preparing to avoid the battle, a loud and resounding voice rang out from all directions:
"bet!"
"Jin Yuan left behind this dojo, but he has nothing of note to offer, so he may leave."
Upon hearing Li Dao's words, the people secretly observing exchanged bewildered glances. Just as those who had heard Li Dao's words were about to ask why, they heard Li Dao's voice resonate again:
"If there are no stakes and you still cause trouble, then you may leave your life behind."
boom!
A terrifying pressure swept over them, shattering the earth. In that instant, they all felt a terrifying threat of death.
The leading man, seeing the array he had shattered before him with no way out, gritted his teeth and took out a pool of precious liquid shrouded in purple mist from his storage bag. He said with some heartache:
"This is a batch of Purple Mansion Liquid, which has miraculous effects on cultivation. This is my bet!"
After the man took out his bet, the others also took out their corresponding treasures.
Li Dao looked at the treasures inside the cave, his eyes lighting up, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
"Those who can get into the Heavenly God Academy are indeed all rolling in money."
"It seems that we have unknowingly opened up a path to wealth. We should hold back a bit in the future and treat it as a performance."
After thinking it over, he slowly got up. The bronze spear and the refining furnace floated in the chaotic pool, their Dao patterns shimmering. He took a step and disappeared from the spot.
Several treasures emitted a strange light in the void, and the man holding the pagoda said resolutely:
"Li Dao has already put up his bet, why aren't you coming out to fight?"
boom!
The moment his words fell, the void suddenly exploded, Li Daobai's white hair fluttered, his black robe rustled in the wind, and his eyes were as indifferent as ice.
As far as the eye could see, ripples spread through the void, and everyone involuntarily held their breath.
Many people were seeing Li Dao for the first time, and their eyes flashed with amazement.
"Is this Li Dao? He is indeed very handsome, but I wonder how much of his strength he possesses, as rumored." A woman murmured as she looked at Li Dao, her eyes unfocused.
"I've arrived." Li Dao looked at the group with an indifferent gaze, and an invisible pressure emanated from his body.
"Come and fight!" The leading man's eyes blazed with fighting spirit as he hurled the pagoda in his hand and roared.
"The sky is my battlefield, come down here!"
"Severed Sky Tower! Suppress!"
The pagoda rapidly expanded, bursting forth with multicolored divine light. A terrifying gravity, like mercury spilling outwards, spread in all directions. Li Dao's figure froze, as waves of terrifying gravity pressed down upon him.
boom!
Li Dao landed heavily on the ground, and the ground beneath his feet began to crumble inch by inch, with terrifying roars echoing incessantly.
Seeing the pagoda above his head radiating divine light, Li Dao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"It's done!" The leading man's eyes flashed with joy as he saw Li Dao land beneath the pagoda.
Upon seeing this, the people behind him also made their move instantly.
"Clouds in the blue sky, water in the bottle, the heavenly water pours back and the world sinks into ruin!"
The woman holding the jade bottle floated down like a fairy descending to earth. She gently poured the jade bottle in her hand, and heavenly water, radiating a strange divine light, poured out from it.
Outside, it seemed someone had breached the Heavenly Pool, and the rootless water poured down from the heavens, as if to wash everything away, directly submerging Li Dao.
After that woman, the others also made their move together, displaying extraordinary abilities to suppress Li Dao.
"Hiss! As expected of the prodigy from Boundless Heaven, he really has some skills!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
"Heh, Li Dao is nothing special. Is he going to be defeated so quickly?" Some cultivators from Wuliangtian were relieved of their previous frustration.
Seeing that Li Dao was suppressed in the blink of an eye, the crowd felt somewhat bored.
After a long time, Li Dao still hadn't appeared, and even the man operating the pagoda thought they had won. Just then, Li Dao's voice drifted over:
"This water is great for bathing, and it even massages your whole body!"
The water surged back, and Li Dao slowly emerged from the bottom of the water, his body radiating a powerful aura.
"What?!" The man was suddenly startled.
"What a powerful physique! This Heavenly Water can devour the spirit and damage the body, yet he withstood it with just his physical body!" The woman was also surprised.
"It's definitely a lie, let's all attack!" the man roared and charged towards Li Dao.
As he fought against Li Dao, he became more and more convinced that his views were correct.
The onlookers were baffled by the battle unfolding before them. Li Dao was struggling against several opponents, each strike incredibly powerful, yet none of it was as legendary as the rumors suggested.
"As expected, rumors can be deceiving; they're just exaggerated!" one cultivator said, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Li Dao.
"Yu Wushuang and Jin Yuan are weak; they can't even beat Li Dao!" Some people even started criticizing Yu Wushuang and Jin Yuan.
