Li Dao stood beneath the massive net, like an ant facing the might of heaven. The terrifying pressure shattered the universe around him.

puff!

He was spitting blood, his eyes filled with horror, and his newly healed wounds were reopening, spurting blood again.

The numerous cultivators watching Li Dao pass through the Thunder Pool from afar couldn't help but feel a chill for him upon seeing such a terrifying net of heaven and earth.

"The myriad paths are like a net; who can possibly navigate through them? That seems far too difficult."

"Ten deaths without a chance of survival!"

Shi Hao, Wang Xi, and other geniuses from the Heavenly God Academy all frowned as they looked at Li Dao, while the academy elders standing in the sky were even more eager to act, ready to save him at any moment.

"Ha, all paths are like a net, encircling me!"

Li Dao's body crackled and popped as his bones were crushed, but his eyes remained clear as he slowly stood up.

His silver hair flew wildly, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the massive net pressing down on his head, as if an unparalleled god or demon were about to crush him into the dust of the deepest abyss.

"Even if your body is shattered and your principles are obliterated, you will not be able to suppress me."

"My body is unrestrained, my path is boundless!"

"Three inches descend to the mortal realm, yet the Wheel of Reincarnation remains unseen in the Nine Netherworlds!"

Myriad paths, like a net, suppress everything; space shatters, time freezes. Under this net, all resistance seems utterly laughable, yet Li Dao still makes his move.

He formed a profound Dao seal with both hands in front of him, slowly extended his right hand forward, and held his left hand upright in front of him as a palm blade, with a golden light shining from his eyes.

That golden light was supreme and forbidden, as if some terrifying being had possessed Li Dao. The hairs on the bodies of the people in the distance stood on end, and when they looked at Li Dao, the scene before them changed instantly.

No longer an ant struggling under the net of heaven, but the incarnation of a forbidden figure, his form shrouded in chaotic light, with only a mysterious and eternal Dharma wheel slowly turning in the distance.

The man sitting not far from the Myriad Paths Tree also changed his expression, staring intently at Li Dao.

Although Li Dao still appeared small in front of Tianwang at this moment, his body was as straight as a blade, and the majesty emanating from his eyes was even stronger than that of Tianwang.

On Li Dao's right hand, which he had just withdrawn, a world was rising and falling rapidly, eventually transforming into two yin-yang fish.

Life and death are like the interlocking of yin and yang fish. Li Dao's aura was calmer than ever before, as if he were a hermit cultivator in the mountains. However, the two yin and yang fish he pushed out were like black holes that devoured everything.

Duh!

The net was cast down, attempting to capture the two yin-yang fish that contained the essence of Li Dao's laws and Dao. However, as soon as they collided, not a sound was heard, as if the fish had entered the sea.

The heavenly net crumbled inch by inch. Each of the myriad chains that wove the net was comparable to celestial gold, but now it was decaying inch by inch, and the Pisces cycle was like a black hole swallowing them.

laugh!

A crimson and white light swept out, and everyone squinted. When the world before them became clear again, they saw that the overwhelming net of heaven had been torn apart.

Li Dao stood in the boundless void, the golden light in his eyes still lingering, radiating a ruthless coldness that sent chills down the spines of any cultivator he swept over.

“Heaven is ruthless…” An elder noticed the abnormality in Li Dao and frowned. Even they could not see Li Dao clearly at this moment.

Fortunately, the situation quickly returned to normal. The golden light in Li Dao's eyes slowly faded, and he returned to normal. However, the chilling sensation that originated from his soul still left many people feeling uneasy.

"Is this what it feels like to take the place of Heaven? If one's principles are not complete, one is afraid of becoming deeply entrenched in it and unable to extricate oneself," Li Dao murmured to himself.

As his divine sense probed into Li Daoyuan's body, the light emanating from his primordial spirit within the small world dimmed slightly.

Previously, he had experienced the so-called Heavenly Dao briefly after his body and soul had become one. That feeling of ruthlessness and holiness made him feel a little uneasy.

Watching his primordial spirit slowly close its eyes and heal, Li Dao suddenly gained many insights.

In a sense, his primordial spirit at this moment could be considered a part of the Heavenly Dao. Although it was very weak, its status was enough to briefly connect with the Heavenly Dao outside, but the price he paid would inevitably be considerable.

This time, merely the union of body and soul almost led him to fall into that lofty, ruthless, and holy state.

With his mind at peace and suppressing all his thoughts, he took a step and landed on the floating island.

The moment he stepped in, the Myriad Paths Tree, which had remained unchanged for millennia, began to sway slightly, and a leaf landed on Li Dao.

His injuries healed, and his previously fluctuating breathing quickly stabilized.

This change surprised not only Li Dao, but also the person not far away.

"Even you couldn't resist?"

The man's eyes flickered. He had been with this tree for countless years, and seeing its unusual movement today stirred up a flood of thoughts in his mind.

"Is it a premonition of the future, or a desire to invest in him in advance?" The man suddenly had many thoughts.

The so-called "seed of the Dao" is nurtured by the earth and born of nature. The more flawless the seed of the Dao, the more miraculous it is.

If one has a premonition of the future, it is not impossible for them to instinctively want to find a way to survive.

As Li Dao felt the joy emanating from his inner world, he immediately understood.

The ultimate goal of the Myriad Paths Tree's evolution is to become the World Tree. The World Tree of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has already collapsed, so the Great Dao is incomplete. Originally, if the Myriad Paths Tree continued to evolve, it would have had the opportunity to become the new World Tree of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

However, a golden divine tree was already rushing along this path ahead of it, making the chances for the Myriad Paths Tree almost nonexistent.

It was at this moment that Li Dao arrived. He opened up a small world within his body, intending to nurture the Dao of Reincarnation with his own body, using his body as the Dao. This small world within his body might very well grow into a great world, giving the Tree of Myriad Daos an opportunity.

Perhaps the Tree of Myriad Paths has not yet developed sentience, but as a seed of the Dao, its instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm led it to make this choice.

In the distance, Shi Hao and the others were initially happy that Li Dao had stepped onto the floating island, but now, seeing the two of them silent, they were all puzzled.

"What's going on? Why did they suddenly fall silent? Could they be communicating telepathically?" a cultivator whispered, his eyes burning with fervor, wishing he could take Li Dao's place.

What are they talking about?

The two elders shook their heads upon hearing this, but they also discerned something from the scale of Li Dao's earlier attack.

"Senior, I'm here." After figuring things out, Li Dao immediately came to his senses and said to the man.

"Hmm, have you thought it through? If you take this seed of enlightenment, the consequences will be something you can hardly bear." The man's eyes were complicated, and after thinking things through, his tone was no longer as arrogant as before.

“All causes and effects have befallen me.” Li Dao walked to the tree of ten thousand paths and looked up to see the fruits on it swaying in the wind, as if greeting him.

"If you ever reach the Immortal level and wield your sword for me, consider it a deal between us." The man slowly sat back down on the bluestone, looking at Li Dao with a complicated expression.

"Senior, please rest in peace. If I become emperor one day, I will surely sever the cycle of life and death to repay your kindness," Li Dao said solemnly.

The man nodded, said no more, and slowly lowered his head. The life force in his body gradually receded and gathered. He was a living dead man and would not wake up except when necessary.

Making this agreement with Li Daoli can be seen as finding a new possibility for my future.

"Kid, grow up quickly, or you won't be able to pay back the debts of those people so easily." He thought to himself, and then fell into complete silence.

hum!

Just as that person fell into a deep sleep, the runes swirling around the Myriad Dao Tree fell silent one by one, and myriad divine lights intertwined and rushed towards them, dyeing the sky with a dazzling brilliance.

Li Dao was enveloped by this divine light, his entire body radiating golden light. His pores greedily absorbed the Dao essence permeating the air, and his inner world surged chaotically.

He slowly walked towards the myriad-tree and slowly stretched out his hand.

rustling~

The divine tree swayed incessantly, slowly shrinking into a miniature tree the size of an arm, which fell into his hand. Its fruits were small and exquisite, emitting various colors of light, intertwining and hanging down, which was very magical.

Li Dao held the Myriad Dao Tree in his hands, his skin was tinged with a mysterious light, as firm and unshakable as a golden bell and jade chime, and a faint mysterious sound echoed within his body, making him appear even more sacred.

Even though a feeling of joy emanated from his inner world, Li Dao did not take the next step. Instead, he bowed to the man and then walked towards the warship.

However, the moment Li Dao took out the Myriad Dao Tree, in a vast and ancient realm shrouded in immortal mist, a pair of deep eyes opened from the sky, as if trying to see into the heavens and the underworld.

hum!

As soon as Li Dao stepped off the floating island, he was immediately met with a barrage of intense gazes.

"Let's go!" The elders of the Heavenly God Academy suppressed their excitement and led everyone onto the warship.

The two elders were preparing to continue following the Golden Tree to other wondrous places, but this time the tree shattered the void and disappeared from its original spot, its terrifying residual power blocking the two warships.

"The World Tree has evolved to a more and more mature stage, and has developed its own powerful will, forbidding us from following it." Several elders sighed, but some cultivators turned their gaze to Li Dao, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner.

Having witnessed the divine power displayed by the Golden Tree, everyone became even more envious of Li Daoneng's acquisition of the Myriad Trees. Even the Ten-Crown King, who held the World Tree, had a hint of longing in his eyes.

Without the World Tree clearing the way, the place suddenly became dangerous. They hadn't traveled far when they encountered a desolate wasteland.

The ground was littered with fallen star fragments, and corpses lay scattered in the void, blood drifting everywhere. When someone tried to collect the blood, the magic weapon was immediately melted away.

"Don't move them! These things have lost their vitality; they are now only filled with death and destruction!" an elder shouted.

The place is vast, but there are even more corpses lying around. Some of the corpses are as big as stars, occupying a large area and all of them are incomplete, which is very strange.

"Bloodline!"

However, even in such a peculiar place, some cultivators have found the Blood Seed, a unique Dao Seed formed by absorbing the malevolent energy of heaven and earth as well as the ancient blood of gods and demons.

Fortunately, this place is rich in malevolent energy and ancient blood, so there is more than one blood seed produced here, and many people have found it.

However, the harvesting process was not smooth sailing, and several people unexpectedly perished, corroded by the corpse energy gathered here, and turned into skeletons on the spot.

After searching for a while, the warship went to other strange places. The elders were already familiar with those places and did not encounter any danger. However, it was not without its challenges, and some cultivators still perished along the way.

Months later, their journey came to an end. They had visited one ancient land after another, but they dared not continue any further, for the dangers ahead were far greater than before.

If we continue to delve deeper, even the elders might perish.

Li Dao stood on the deck, with several Dao Seeds floating in front of him. Some were Time Dao Seeds that had been fished up from the River of Time, and others were Heroic Spirit Seeds. He didn't need these things, but they were perfect for Mu Wanqing and the others to use.

Waaah...

The warship sounded its horn, and it instantly transformed into a divine ray of light, leaving the Boundary Tomb and heading towards the Heavenly God Academy.

The warship sped away from the boundary tomb, gradually becoming blurry as several elders unleashed a bone altar, tearing through the void and beginning their journey across it.

hum!

On this day, silver light scattered across the ground in the center of the Heavenly God Academy, like a bright moon falling. The warship slowly materialized from the altar, and everyone returned to the academy.

This time, the harvest was considerable. Although many people died, it was a fruitful return, especially since they obtained the flawless Dao Seed, the Myriad Dao Tree.

Within the academy stand sacred mountains, shrouded in purple mist, where cranes soar. It is a tranquil and peaceful sanctuary. After months of arduous journeys and facing life-or-death crises, many people are now stepping into this sanctuary with a sense of disorientation.

"If you want to protect the Pure Land, you need to be even stronger. Many disciples have perished in the Boundary Tomb this time, and if you are not strong enough next time, you will also turn to ashes," the Fifth Elder solemnly warned.

Everyone remained silent, knowing the harshness of the future.

"Now that you have obtained the seed, let it transform on its own." The Fourth Elder waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, many people showed excited expressions.
