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

This black umbrella was capable of withstanding attacks from the Void Dao level, but it only withstood one blow from Li Dao.

"I admit you're very strong, but you're still a long way from defeating me!"

With a roar, his body trembled, and the ten grotto-heavens behind him manifested directly. Jin Zhan formed Dao seals with his hands, and the ten grotto-heavens were slowly merging together.

"The Ten Grotto Heavens Unite as One!"

hum!

The merging of the ten grottoes created terrifying ripples that solidified space, seemingly opening up a new world. Jin Zhan was covered in golden armor, radiating an indestructible power.

Jin Zhan threw a punch at Li Dao, and the Ten Heavenly Caves merged into one, transforming into a treasure wheel that imprisoned time and space.

"Ha, the unification of the ten grotto heavens? If that's the case, then let me show you what the true unification of the ten grotto heavens really is!"

Li Dao's eyes were indifferent. With a wave of his sleeve, a vast cavern that blotted out the sky appeared behind him. Within it, stars twinkled, Dao essence permeated, and divine chains of order danced.

This is no longer a grotto-heaven; it is clearly a small world in itself.

boom!

As Li Dao's grotto-heaven manifested, it broke through the stagnant space, and a golden divine chain surged forth from it, instantly piercing through Jin Zhan's grotto-heaven.

boom!

With a loud bang, Jin Zhan was struck as if by lightning. The cave behind him was shattered, and his body fell from mid-air.

"how so……"

Jin Zhan looked at Li Dao's indifferent gaze above him. The other man stood tall and imposing before that celestial realm, his terrifying pressure spreading outwards. A deep sense of defeat welled up in Jin Zhan's heart.

His proud unity of the ten grotto heavens now seemed utterly laughable in front of Li Dao.

boom!

The earth shattered, and Jin Zhan's body sank heavily into the ground. A battle that should have been a fierce struggle ended so easily.

Everyone present was shocked by what they saw. Jin Zhan was the number one practitioner of magic among the core disciples of the Jin family, yet he was so easily defeated by Li Dao.

When they looked at Li Dao, a look of horror flashed across everyone's face.

Li Dao glanced at Jin Zhan lying in the crater, his eyes indifferent, then turned and left, as if he had done something utterly ordinary.

Back in the cave, they found two figures already waiting there for quite some time.

"I am Yaoyue, greetings, fellow Daoist." Yaoyue looked at the man before her with a hint of inquiry in her eyes. The previous battle had been too unrestrained, and she was very curious about Li Dao's strength.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist." Li Dao looked at the two of them with some surprise.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Yaoyue explained the reason. Qi Lin, who had been hiding behind Yaoyue, blushed a little, but still apologized to Li Dao.

"This is a piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold jade marrow, which can keep the mind clear and calm. Consider it my apology," Qi Lin said with some heartache.

Li Dao accepted the jade marrow. Originally, when he learned that Qi Lin was behind it all, he wanted to suppress her directly. However, seeing their sincere attitude and the fact that they had taken the initiative to apologize, he decided not to hold a grudge.

"I understand, please leave." Li Dao accepted the gifts and said coldly.

Upon seeing this, Yaoyue bid farewell and left with Qilin. Since they were in the wrong first, Li Dao's attitude was understandable.

After seeing the two off, Li Dao returned to his cave and poured his divine power into the cold jade marrow. The jade marrow rapidly expanded and soon landed in front of him like a large millstone.

Sitting cross-legged on it, I immediately felt my mind clear, and silently said to myself:

"It really is a great product."

After saying that, he continued to study the "Suppressing Chaos Technique." He had been interrupted by Jin Zhan's cultivation earlier, which was why he had developed a murderous intent.

Meanwhile, news of Li Dao's two-move suppression of Jin Zhan spread like wildfire within the academy. Initially, everyone was somewhat resentful of Li Dao, but after learning of his true power, they were all speechless.

His image also changed from a naive boy who wanted to eat swan meat but was a toad, to a genius with unparalleled talent and strength no less than the four young supreme masters.

Li Dao, who was in seclusion at the time, was unaware of this.

After he went into seclusion, news about him continued to circulate, but as time went by, the hype gradually subsided, and he was only occasionally mentioned by people.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

News of Li Dao was becoming increasingly scarce within the academy; instead, the reputation of another individual began to spread.

"Have you heard? Shi Hao defeated another top-ranked prodigy today and gained a lot of resources." A cultivator couldn't help but marvel.

"I heard that Shi Hao offended the Feng family and was banished to the Primordial Ancient Mine to be suppressed for ten years, but he actually climbed out of the ancient mine with great perseverance." Some cultivators exclaimed.

"But don't you think the path Shi Hao is taking is somewhat similar to the path taken by the White-haired Immortal Li Dao? Now that so many cultivators are vying to challenge him, could he also be playing dumb to deceive others?"

Some cultivators also thought of Li Dao, mainly because his rise to power was full of legends.

While everyone was discussing this, Shi Hao, a prominent figure of the time, was leading Su Lan and others to challenge others.

"Didn't you say that Senior Brother Li was about to emerge from seclusion? Why haven't we heard any news about it?" Shi Hao asked Su Lan behind him.

“I don’t know either, but my master said he will be coming out of seclusion soon,” Su Lan said respectfully.

Originally, Shi Hao was Wang Xi's chosen follower, so she didn't need to act this way, but who would have thought that this unserious fellow would actually be Li Dao's junior brother?

Even Wang Xi treated him as a fellow Daoist, let alone the others.

Shi Hao nodded slightly, feeling a pang of emotion. He had only arrived a few months late, yet Li Dao's name had already spread throughout the Heavenly God Academy. However, it was precisely because of this that he was able to avoid a lot of trouble.

In truth, he also benefited from Li Dao's influence.

Recalling the various legends about Li Dao at the academy, the fighting spirit in his eyes grew stronger, and instead of being discouraged, his fighting spirit soared.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and challenge the next one, these are all resources!"

Su Lan felt a chill run down her spine. Shi Hao was far more arrogant than Li Dao had been back then, wanting to challenge each of them individually in order to collect resources.

However, she didn't say much and could only silently lead the way.

Just as Shi Hao was busy challenging the geniuses within the academy, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from Dao Yi Peak, which had been silent for half a year.

A purple aura traveled 30,000 miles eastward, enveloping Dao Yi Peak. In addition, a strange phenomenon appeared: an immortal playing chess and placing pieces. The entire Daoist land was alarmed.

Swish swish!

Led by Mu Wanqing, the followers arrived outside Daoyi Peak, their eyes filled with solemnity.

"Such powerful pressure!" Tie Kui looked up at Dao Yifeng, his eyes full of admiration.

"Master is about to emerge from seclusion." Mu Wanqing's eyes were deep as she immediately gave the order to the others:

"Seal off the four directions and protect our master!"

"Understood!" The five people behind him responded, standing in four directions, their divine senses intertwining to form a net, completely sealing off Dao Yi Peak.

Inside that cave, Li Dao sat cross-legged on the jade marrow, his eyes opening and closing instinctively, trying to capture the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Behind him, a man who looked exactly like him, whose body seemed to be cast in gold, stood three inches off the ground, with the nascent three thousand small worlds behind him radiating divine light.

He stood with his hands behind his back, like a drawn sword, his terrifying sword intent seemingly ready to annihilate everything.

"If I become the Green Emperor someday, I will make the peach blossoms bloom together."

"The primordial spirit becomes a sword to slay all laws, and all paths submit to the sword immortal."

Li Daoyuan slowly raised his hand, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Dao Diagram unfolded beneath him. A rich aura of pacifying chaos emanated from his golden primordial spirit body. With a flick of his fingers, slender blades of grass appeared in his hand, seemingly capable of cleaving this world in two.

This is an astonishing secret technique based on the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, combined with two top-tier sword techniques: the Suppression of Chaos Technique and the Grass Character Sword Technique.

As soon as it appeared above the peak of the Dao, a strange phenomenon appeared where ten thousand swords submitted. The powerful move combining the two sword techniques caused all the disciples in the academy who practiced swordsmanship to look up at the sky, and they all felt a sense of trepidation.

Shi Hao also stopped in his tracks. He also possessed the Grass Character Technique and had comprehended the Sage's Sword Intent, so he felt that earth-shattering sword intent even more intensely.

"Such powerful sword intent, capable of severing souls and destroying spirits! Who wielded this sword!"

Inside the cave, Li Daoyuan waved his hand to disperse the divine power in his hand, as using such a divine power again would cause too much of a commotion.

hum!

Slowly calming his rampaging aura, Li Dao's primordial spirit retreated into his body, and he leisurely opened his eyes. Countless sword intents swept across his eyes, and his clear primordial spirit allowed him to glimpse the trajectory of the Great Dao.

Having comprehended the Sword Technique of Pacifying Chaos, his primordial spirit has become significantly stronger, and he is now able to better sense the faint yet palpable power of the Heavenly Tribulation above his head.

"If we go any further, even the immortal markings will be difficult to conceal, and a great calamity will be imminent."

"Perhaps when he breaks through to the mid-stage of the Void Dao realm, the immortal runes will no longer be able to be concealed."

Li Dao straightened his robes, his face showing no sign of panic. He had been constantly cultivating supernatural powers and techniques in preparation for the tribulation, which gave him more confidence in passing it.

He took a step and landed on the summit of Dao Yi Peak. His followers immediately surrounded him upon seeing him emerge from seclusion.

"Has anything interesting happened lately?" Li Dao asked Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing respectfully recounted all the recent events, big and small. When Li Dao learned that Shi Hao had come to the Heavenly God Academy, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

"Understood. The Immortal Battle is imminent. You may all go about your business." Li Dao waved his hand, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shi Hao was defeating someone and collecting his spoils when he suddenly felt something and looked up to see Li Dao, who seemed to be living in seclusion.

Sensing the aura emanating from Li Dao, his pupils involuntarily contracted. He had encountered many powerful beings, but he sensed a different aura from Li Dao.

That was an aura different from that of most cultivators in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

It is as if one takes oneself as the way, and wherever one stands is the path of the way, and whatever one does is in accordance with the way.

"What? You don't recognize me anymore?" Li Dao looked at Shi Hao and couldn't help but laugh.

With a gentle smile on his lips, Li Dao couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion when he saw Shi Hao again, sensing that Shi Hao's aura was much stronger than before.

Looking back, although the trip to the Primordial Ancient Mine was arduous, it also helped him grow considerably.

"Senior Brother Li." Shi Hao quickly came to his senses and also showed a sincere smile.

With the bright moon hanging high, Li Dao and Shi Hao sat facing each other in a pavilion on Dao Yi Peak, talking about their experiences during this period.

“Yuan Qing is a narrow-minded person. He once wanted to join the Holy Academy but was rejected, so he sided with the Feng family. You should be careful.” A glint of light flashed in Li Dao’s eyes.

"They're just a bunch of clowns. If I become emperor one day, how dare they bully me!" Shi Hao said quietly, holding the wine jug in his arms and looking at the bright moon overhead.

"Heh, you have indeed grown a lot. That brat from back then is no more." Li Dao leaned against the railing, took a big gulp of his drink, and chuckled.

"People all grow up, let's not talk about me."

"Senior Brother Li, I sense a Daoist aura emanating from you that is different from that of this world. Have you already forged your own path?"

Shi Hao asked with great curiosity. He was stuck at this step and had an idea in mind, but he had not been able to figure it out yet.

"Plant the seeds of the Dao, condense the flowers of the Dao, bear the fruits of the Dao, shape the body of the Dao, and take the body as the Dao." Li Dao shook his head and said in a deep voice.
