Li Dao looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw the Great Dao Treasure Bottle glowing. The patterns on it gradually became clearer, and a human-shaped pattern gradually emerged, from which a person walked out.

It was originally an engraving, but now a person walked out of it, holding a sword, and gently slashed forward. The sword landed on the mother root and immediately ignited black Dao fire, burning many roots to ashes.

"It's you! Weren't you dead? How come you still have a clone left behind!" The creature sealed in the Great Dao Treasure Bottle roared in utter despair. Its soul was extremely fragile, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to shatter at any moment.

"I once annihilated countless of your armies, but I never imagined that a few roots left by the mother root would allow you to recover to such an extent. If I hadn't left behind my remnant, I would have truly allowed you to defy the heavens and be reborn." After saying this, the humanoid being waved the sword in its hand, burning itself and turning into countless flames that engulfed the mother root.

"do not want!"

The Great Dao Treasure Bottle was shaking violently, and the creatures inside were struggling. As long as the precious blood soaked into the bottle, there would be a chance to break the seal, but now everything was destroyed.

"You should perish too. It is your honor to become nourishment for the Heavenly Seeds," the humanoid creature said ruthlessly.

Hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. The foreign royal family was incredibly powerful, yet they could only become nourishment for a seed. What a terrifying tactic!

"You are not from the heavens and earth, who are you helping, and who are you really?" The creature in the treasure bottle roared and wailed.

"Someone will come to harvest the Heavenly Seeds; you don't need to worry about it." The being's voice was indifferent, and its lingering will gradually became blurred, about to dissipate.

“You… are a being who came out along that ancient road, you are from that world!” Dugu Yun said, his voice trembling slightly.

"These things are none of your concern. This era is nearing its end and is about to perish. You should go and fight. The opportunities here are not for you to touch!" the creature said in an icy tone.

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao, Wang Xi, Yao Yue, Zhe Xian, and the others all became solemn and deeply shocked.

However, Li Dao looked at the humanoid creature with a somewhat distant gaze.

"Why can't we obtain these seeds?" Xuan Kun stepped forward and asked, his voice somewhat low.

Shi Hao and the others also raised their heads. There were too many cultivators who shared the same thoughts as him. Even though the Ten-Crown King possessed the World Tree, he still found it difficult to calm down.

"Hmph, don't be delusional. This Heavenly Seed is not something you can touch. Behave yourselves and struggle in the mortal world!" The humanoid being was very vague. He turned around and spoke indifferently.

He glanced at everyone present, completely unconcerned, an attitude that immediately made many people resentful.

Not to mention prodigies like Li Dao and Shi Hao, even the other geniuses are among the best in the world, yet they are being so blatantly told they are unworthy of such treatment, which naturally makes them uncomfortable.

"Retreat," the humanoid creature said coldly, turning to disappear into the treasure bottle.

Li Dao watched the person disappear into the treasure bottle without saying a word. Although he felt a sense of unease, he was no match for the humanoid creature at this moment.

Moreover, this humanoid being comes from the Immortal Realm, and the Immortal Realm forces have long been eyeing this celestial seed.

"Closing territories and arbitrarily demarcating the things of the Nine Heavens, the Immortal Realm..."

Li Dao's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He didn't linger any longer and turned to leave. No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't beat them, but he would come back again.

"I wonder which young master reserved this Heavenly Seed. I really hope that one day I can face him." Someone sneered, his eyes full of resentment.

Shi Hao and the other prodigies also looked indignant, but they retreated.

After searching the area again, the group returned.

When they reported this matter to the elders of the two academies, even they couldn't help but frown.

"This place is strange; it's only here to cultivate a celestial seed." An elder was greatly shocked.

The elders were also taken aback. Such a move was far too grand, and even they, as the strongest group in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, felt somewhat uneasy.

"It's alright. The so-called strongest is just a seed of the Dao. The strongest seed of the Dao may not necessarily create the strongest person. There's no need to be discouraged," an elder said loudly.

He was clearly trying to comfort and encourage the many talented individuals.

Li Dao sat cross-legged in a corner of the deck, holding a divine flower that emitted a faint blue light in his hand. Although he did not obtain the Heavenly Seed, he had obtained many divine medicines, so the trip was not in vain.

Li Dao slowly closed his eyes and began to refine the Taiyin Divine Flower in his hand. Within his small world, rhombus-shaped ice crystals immediately filled the area around his primordial spirit, and the strength of his primordial spirit continued to increase.

At the same time, the warships of the Heavenly God Academy also withdrew from the range of the Anti-Five Elements Formation, separated from the people of the Immortal Academy, and frantically searched for seeds on the Five Elements Continent.

After refining the Taiyin Divine Flower, Li Dao's primordial spirit strength increased significantly. He then traveled alone across the Five Elements Continent, venturing into ancient lands and collecting all five elements of Dao seeds.

Of course, it's not possible to synthesize the Five Elements Dao Seed simply by having five Dao Seeds of different attributes; that would be extremely difficult. However, being able to collect all five elements is still a great stroke of luck.

Besides Li Dao, many other cultivators also found some rare Five Elements materials on this ancient land.

boom!

However, on this day, the earth trembled violently, and golden light filled the sky and earth.

In the distance, the ancient golden tree sways, its rays soaring into the sky. Each leaf seems to support the sun, moon, and stars, radiating a terrifying golden light, as if it is creating a new world and reshaping the universe.

That was the Golden Divine Tree that had disappeared from the Primordial Treasure Realm in the lower realm. It had taken root on this Five Elements Continent, and now it was about to leave.

The warships of the Heavenly God Academy and the Immortal Academy followed closely behind the golden divine tree, intending to travel with it to other pure lands.

The golden divine tree rose from the ground, carrying a rich life force, piercing the sky, shaking down stars, and disappearing into the distance.

The two ships followed closely behind and indeed arrived at a wondrous land. This place was sacred and peaceful, with auspicious clouds filling the sky, all formed from the runes of the Great Dao.

As the warship landed, everyone felt a jolt. This place was not a true sanctuary, but a land of laws constructed from the rules of the world.

As soon as Li Daogang entered this realm, his inner world trembled violently, and his primordial spirit slowly opened his eyes, emanating an extremely strong sense of longing.

"A world constructed from the laws of heaven and earth is enough to save me a lot of trouble." A burning light flashed in Li Dao's eyes.

Chapter 458 The Tree of Ten Thousand Paths!

"That's a seed of Dao principles!" someone exclaimed, pointing to a spot. His raised finger trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

In the direction he pointed, a dark red fruit hung from a divine tree emitting a faint golden light, surrounded by crimson flames. This was the fruit transformed from the laws of the Dao.

Even from a distance, everyone could feel the Daoist principles surging around the divine tree.

Many disciples saw the Dao Principle Fruit, and their eyes lit up with joy. However, some cultivators sighed:

"It's a pity it's not the Myriad Dao Tree. If it were, we would have made a huge profit. It is comparable to a seed of the universe's nascent form and no less than a World Tree sapling."

When Li Dao heard about the Myriad Dao Tree, his expression changed. As its name suggests, the Myriad Dao Tree sometimes had tens of thousands of branches, containing all kinds of Great Daos. It was simply the embodiment of the mother of the rules of heaven and earth.

"If I could obtain the Tree of Myriad Paths, I would surely be able to quickly perfect the rules of my inner world and make great progress in my strength."

Sensing the myriad auras permeating this place, he was certain that there must be a Myriad Dao Tree here. Not only him, but the elders of the academy also had this guess.

After lingering in this place for more than twenty days, one day, someone finally found the tree.

"Found it! There is a floating island in the far west, on which grows a divine tree bearing many fruits and exuding countless auras."

Someone shouted that a group of people had discovered the floating island, and the news spread quickly.

In a mountain range, Li Dao picked a few Dao Principle Fruits. Although these fruits were weak, the Dao Principles they contained were enough to help him.

Upon hearing the news, Li Dao's expression shifted. Standing atop the mountain, the wind tousled his hair, obscuring half his face, but it couldn't hide his burning gaze.

"The Tree of Ten Thousand Paths..."

With a few twitches of his lips, he took a step forward, and the space seemed to tear open like a ripped cloth. Li Dao stepped into it and disappeared from the mountaintop.

In the far west, thunder roars, yin and yang are in chaos, water and fire intertwine, the laws of this place are in disarray, and the rules are intertwined, yet there is an island suspended above all these rules.

At the center of the island grows a tree, yet it is hidden within a vast rift in the void. The surrounding void rifts break and heal irregularly, as if this world is unable to bear them.

The tree was laden with fruit of various shapes, each emanating a different Dao principle: some were lightning, some were blazing fire, and some were profound ice...

shhhhhh!

Streaks of light tore through the void and descended upon this place. As the light faded, young heroes emerged from them.

With a wave of his sleeve, Li Dao dispersed the Yin and Yang energies around him, and the light disappeared. Looking at the floating island in the distance, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. After arriving here, the sense of longing in his heart had become even stronger.

“It looks like a tea tree. Could this be the Myriad Paths Tree?” Someone glanced at it and saw that it bore at least several thousand fruits.

"Hmm? Why is there someone there?" Ripples spread across the void around the Fifth Elder, dissipating the golden light, and he immediately saw a figure guarding the tree.

Everyone was shocked and immediately looked away from the tree, where they saw a figure sitting silently in the crack not far from the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths.

His body was bound by rusty iron chains that pierced through his shoulder blades, locking him there. He was covered with leaves and looked like he hadn't moved in a long time.

Everyone who saw the person was shocked. Someone was actually guarding that tree. While they were shocked, they became even more certain that it was the Myriad Paths Tree.

"It really is the Tree of Ten Thousand Paths, with tens of thousands of fruits on it!" A cultivator's voice trembled, his eyes shining with a fervor that seemed capable of burning the entire sky.

“There really are tens of thousands of fruits…” someone’s voice trembled, and their mouth was dry.

Li Dao stood in the void, his Divine Eye of Truth blinking constantly. He sensed a perfect aura emanating from the tree, and within it, he also felt a familiar presence.

"Has it embarked on the same path as that ancient golden tree?" Li Dao's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that this Myriad Dao Tree was also transforming into the World Tree.

The other cultivators, upon confirming that this was indeed the Myriad Dao Tree, were flushed and excited. It was a flawless immortal seed, and by fusing with it, they could achieve the most perfect evolution.

However, many people tried but could not get to the island and could only look at the tree in frustration.

Around that island were numerous Thunder Pools, capable of easily blasting away even gods, not to mention the flying chains of divine order.

"We can handle the others, but we're afraid that person will wake up," the Fifth Elder said with some worry. He dared not make a move against the unknown being.

The being bound not far from the Tree of Myriad Paths had even rusted its immortal gold chains, indicating that it had lived through countless years and was at least a being from the ancient immortal era.

If it had survived to this day, it would be even more terrifying, existing for an entire era at a time; the thought of it is chilling.

An elder intervened, severing the chains of order and shattering the thunder pools. However, just as they were about to approach the floating island, the chains suddenly rattled.

Splash! Splash!

The ear-piercing sound of chains scraping together rang out, and the entire world seemed to freeze slightly as a silent pressure spread out, like a ferocious tiger baring its fangs.

The person not far from the Myriad Trees suddenly raised his head, leaves falling from above, creating strange ripples, and opened his eyes, coldly sweeping over everyone.

In an instant, everyone's hair stood on end, and they felt as if they had fallen into an icy lake, their whole body turning ice cold.

"The Tree of Ten Thousand Paths is not something you can covet. Leave." As if he hadn't spoken in a long time, his voice was like two pieces of iron rubbing together, cold and grating.

"He... he's still alive!" someone stammered, their eyes widening and their mouth gaping open enough to fit a fruit from the Myriad Paths Tree.

At the same time, everyone stared in horror at the man, who had lived for so long and was still alive, and their vigilance reached its peak.

However, upon hearing these words, Li Dao's face darkened instantly. He had just heard these words from the humanoid being imprinted on the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

"We are destined to find this place, so why can't we obtain it?" a cultivator shouted, equally unwilling. He became increasingly resentful after encountering this situation time and time again.

"When the Heaven-Defying Dao Seed matures, someone will come to take it. You should stop dreaming. This is not something you can touch!" His tone remained indifferent.

He paid no attention to the crowd, just like the humanoid creatures on the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

"Now that we have arrived here, senior, would you be so kind as to give us a chance?" one of the cultivators asked tentatively.

"Get out! You have no right to do so!" The man said indifferently, and the chains on his body trembled, making a metallic clang. The cultivator who had spoken earlier turned pale instantly.
