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

"Hidden tigers and dragons lurk, a great terror lurks!"

This is what he was thinking.

When the old monster from the Immortal Academy saw the Little Heavenly King return and noticed the fear in his eyes, he couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

The young superstar simply shook his head, quickly composed himself, and said nothing more.

The selection competition ended with the young king watching absentmindedly. Shi Hao lost to Yu Wudi, but he felt a sense of calm, as if he had expected it all along.

Inviting Moon, Wang Xi, and the others from the Heavenly God Academy have all chosen their desired destinations, leaving only Shi Hao without a selection.

Just as the two academy elders were offering various conditions to recruit him into their academies, Shi Hao made a surprising choice.

I plan to stay at Tianshen Academy and embark on my own path.

Although the elders of the two academies felt regret, they did not say anything more, especially since an elder from the Heavenly God Academy had also stepped forward.

The grand selection ceremony came to an end, and the once bustling Tian Shen Academy suddenly became quiet.

All the most outstanding geniuses in the academy have left, but what makes the elders of the Heavenly God Academy feel gratified is that Shi Hao and Li Dao have stayed.

The Taoist temple where Li Dao was located fell into a long period of tranquility. No matter how prosperous the outside world was, this place seemed to be isolated from the world.

Time flies, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

This was the longest period of seclusion Li Dao had ever gone through, and also the longest period of reflection.

Dao Yi Peak soars into the sky, like the first peak after the creation of heaven and earth. The terrifying Wheel of Reincarnation is more dazzling than the sun and hangs in the sky.

Inside the cave, Li Dao's skin was as white as jade, his brows held a faint but unmistakable divine might, and his eyes were slightly closed, making him seem like an ancient god who had walked out of the creation era.

At that time, he was sitting cross-legged on the futon, and the four directions of heaven and earth seemed to have been separated from the outside world and transformed into a world that belonged only to Li Dao.

With each breath, it was as if the Great Dao was pulsating; the pressure emanating from his body did not stem from the crushing power of his realm, but from the suppression of his life level.

"Time flies like water flowing eastward; the body unites with the Great Dao, not because of the length of years. What year is it now?"

Li Dao slowly opened his eyes, the light of his eyes radiating a light that seemed to penetrate the heavens and the netherworld.

A vast and indescribable aura suddenly emanated from him, spreading from Dao Yi Peak across the entire Daoist temple. In an instant, three thousand miles of purple energy surged eastward from beyond the heavens, showering down a rain of seven-colored light, startling Mu Wanqing and her followers within the temple.

Buzz!

Auras rose from the surrounding mountains of Dao Yi Peak. Mu Wanqing and the others in the mountains opened their eyes and awoke from their seclusion, their bodies gathering in mid-air like rainbows.

Seeing that the heavens above were occupied by purple qi coming from the east, the seven-colored rain of light that fell to the ground caused the grass and trees to grow wildly. Golden Dao flowers bloomed in mid-air, scattering billions of golden lights, making the entire Dao field look like a golden immortal Dao land.

A refreshing fragrance filled the air, and twin golden lotuses quietly bloomed on the water's surface, representing the union of yin and yang.

"My lord is preparing to emerge from seclusion!" A man following behind Mu Wanqing exclaimed excitedly. His name was Xuan Yu, and he had followed Li Dao for a long time. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly God realm, and his eyes were filled with excitement.

“It’s indeed time to emerge from seclusion!” Mu Wanqing nodded, her aura fluctuating, with fragments of time occasionally drifting around her.

Inside the cave, Li Dao's aura gradually calmed down. His eyes were like polished black jade, and even without flashing divine light, they still exuded a sharp glint that could pierce through people's hearts.

His inner divine universe underwent a complete transformation.

The world that was originally a fusion of chaos and Daoist principles is now clearly divided into three distinct realms: the Nine Heavens, the Mortal World, and the Netherworld, which occupy the upper, middle, and lower levels respectively, thus transforming the entire divine universe within the body into three completely different worlds.

Thunder rumbled in the Nine Heavens, and celestial mist filled the air. Deep within the mist, a magnificent celestial palace loomed in and out of sight. In the deepest part of the palace, Li Daoyuan sat cross-legged, suppressing the Nine Heavens. He was the first being within the divine universe of his body and the master of order.

The mortal world bears the imprint of all the places he has been to: crisscrossing mountains, winding rivers, Jinyu Village, Butian Pavilion, Tianxian Academy... all of which seem familiar.

The Netherworld is a void, a place of utter silence, where everything exists in an eternal stillness. Deep within that void, a tightly closed white-gold gate suppresses all that nothingness.

At the very center of this world, a giant tree stands.

Its branches and leaves, gnarled and twisted like the embodiment of the Great Dao, spread like clouds and reach into the boundless chaos beyond the realm. Some roots extend into the Nine Heavens, firmly supporting the celestial palace, while others take root in the earth and spread into the void.

This is the Myriad Dao Tree that Li Dao brought back from the Boundary Tomb. It is also the quasi-world tree of the divine universe within his body at this moment, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest netherworld, exuding immense power.

The tens of thousands of fruits hanging on it scattered throughout the divine universe, transforming into mountains, rivers, grasses, trees, wind, frost, rain, and snow... What grew out were no longer fruits, but golden chains of divine order.

The divine universe within Li Dao's body has already constructed a relatively complete world. Judging from the current situation, even if Li Dao does not cultivate and lets the divine universe within his body evolve, his cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds.

Chaos was isolated outside the Three Realms, but the Three Flowers still took root in the chaos outside the Three Realms and were being nurtured.

hum!

Li Dao regained his composure, slowly stood up, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth rejoiced, the Dao principles intertwining to form a golden road in front of him.

Stepping onto the golden road, leaving the cave, and stepping out of the place shrouded in reincarnation, the fragmented Dao principles of the outside world surged towards Li Dao.

"Disperse!"

Li Dao stood with his hands behind his back in mid-air, his words becoming law, and the surging Dao principles around him instantly turned into smoke and vanished without a trace.

The moment his figure reappeared in the world, the celestial phenomena changed drastically. Nine golden springs emerged on the earth, and cranes from the heavens came to pick divine flowers. This was a blessing from heaven.

Li Dao stood still, and the divine power within his body was being tempered and refined, his aura growing stronger and stronger.

His skill, which had already been honed to its absolute limit, suddenly broke through that limit and reached another level.

Mu Wanqing and the others, who sensed Li Dao's emergence from seclusion from afar, were immediately shocked by this turn of events, looking at Li Dao as if he were a Celestial King.

"My lord's realm is quite strange. Is this the pinnacle of the Void Path, or has he already entered the Realm of Severing Myself? Or is it even higher?" Xuan Yu murmured to himself, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Perhaps the so-called realm has become unimportant." Mu Wanqing said this out of the blue, her tone wistful.

Li Dao, suspended in mid-air, remained calm. He could enter the "Slaying Me" realm at any time, stepping into it whenever he wished.

However, his combat strength could no longer be expressed by realm. At this moment, his casual strike carried the weight of an entire world. Even cultivators who had killed him could be easily cut down in front of him.

His realm was no longer a measure of his combat strength; what mattered more than his realm was the transformation of his divine universe within his body.

"The small world within my body nurtures countless rules. As long as the world continues to evolve, I will continue to grow stronger. I am the world, I am the Great Dao."

Li Dao murmured something, and the nine springs that had emerged on the earth were completely revealed and preserved, and all the strange phenomena in the surrounding area immediately disappeared.

He stood alone in the void, his robes fluttering in the wind, seemingly separated from the entire world even though he was right in front of him.

Chapter 462 With Heavenly Law in His Mouth, He Repels Heavenly Tribulation

Mu Wanqing and the others were stunned by Li Dao's appearance. It took them a while to recover before they quickly approached him and said respectfully:

"Congratulations on your successful completion of the seclusion, my lord!"

The group shouted in unison, their eyes filled with admiration.

Li Dao nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the progress of their cultivation. Mu Wanqing was already preparing to fuse with the Dao Seed, and was only one step away from the Void Dao. As for the others, they were all in the Heavenly God Realm, which meant they had not relaxed their cultivation during his seclusion.

"I've been in seclusion for so long, has anything major happened outside?"

Li Dao slowly returned to an ancient hall next to the cave and asked Mu Wanqing, who was following behind him.

Upon hearing his words, Mu Wanqing was taken aback at first, and then immediately began to think. Although he was also in seclusion, he was well-informed about the outside world and told her about the events that had happened during this period.

The outside world was quite lively during this period. First, the top geniuses in the three academies stepped into the Void Dao level and completed their transformation. Shi Hao also completed an extraordinary transformation and defeated many geniuses, becoming the most popular person for a time.

What's even more shocking is that the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Academy made a move, and his move forced the Wang family, a family of immortals, to issue a decree to reconcile with Shi Hao.

Thus, the name of the wilderness spread throughout the world, attracting attention from all sides.

"During that time, the Witch and Fairy Wang Xi visited you several times, but you were still in seclusion at the time."

Mu Wanqing looked at Li Dao's face with a hint of admiration in her eyes. It was a talent that made several fairies remember him for so long.

When Li Dao heard the news about the witch, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. However, when he heard that Shi Hao had ultimately run into the Wang family, his expression immediately became serious.

"Alright, I understand. You all should get ready too, a great battle is about to begin."

A hint of surprise flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes. Seeing that Li Dao didn't intend to say anything more, she didn't ask any further questions. She kept the matter in mind and then left.

The Daoist temple where Li Dao was located returned to silence, but this silence lasted for less than half a day before a terrifying golden pillar shot straight into the sky from Dao Yi Peak.

This time, the strange phenomenon was no longer confined to the dojo, but broke through the dojo's array.

Inside the Heavenly God Academy, pairs of eyes opened, and with a whoosh, figures landed in mid-air. Even the elders who were discussing the merger of the three academies inside the ancient hall couldn't help but look up.

The banished immortal, Shi Yi, the Ten-Crown King, and others who were exploring the treasure land in the immortal mansion below the Heavenly God Academy also rushed out of the immortal mansion together.

A group of figures gathered around Li Dao's dojo, looking from afar like a gathering of ten thousand immortals, each emanating an extraordinary aura.

Looking at the dark, seemingly collapsing clouds in the sky, many people's eyes flashed with fear.

"Is this the collapse of the heavens? What's going on?"

"Is it that person who has been lying low for so long finally going to show up?"

"..."

The young superstar was among them. Looking in the direction from which the strange phenomenon came, a memory involuntarily surfaced before his eyes, making his expression somewhat unpleasant.

"This is the aura of a heavenly tribulation! Someone is preparing to undergo tribulation!" The World Tree within the Ten-Crown King trembled as he looked at the strange phenomenon in the heavens and spoke solemnly.

"Hasn't Li Dao already reached the level of a sect leader? If he undergoes another tribulation, wouldn't he have to undergo the Tribulation of Slaying Me?" After muttering this, someone immediately gasped.

"He is indeed preparing to transcend tribulation and kill me. He has finally reached this point." Sui An appeared, his gaze deep as if he saw Li Dao's figure. He had been troubled by too many things lately, and finally, he encountered something happy.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the group of geniuses, including the Immortal, immediately turned solemn. The one with the highest cultivation among them was still hovering in the mid-stage of the Void Realm.

They hadn't expected that Li Dao would widen the gap between them so quickly.

At the summit of Dao Yi Peak, Li Dao's figure slowly materialized, watching the lightning tribulation flashing in the heavens above, with golden chains extending from the heavens, attempting to bind him tightly.

These are the shackles of rules. The so-called "slaying oneself" means cutting off one's own body, understanding one's own Tao and Law, and the key to this is cutting off the Heavenly Heart and breaking free from the shackles of rules.

Whoosh!

The golden chains, like celestial dragons, bound the rules of heaven and earth. The moment they manifested, the laws of the entire world instantly became obscured.

Many people in the distance looked at Li Dao standing on the mountaintop, their eyes filled with both anticipation and a lingering sense of awe.

They were all waiting to see how Li Dao would overcome this calamity, and Li Dao seemed to hear their thoughts, and the next moment he moved.

"Disperse!"

Li Dao slowly raised his hand and casually waved it towards the sky. His eyes were calm and his movements were very casual. But as he waved his sleeve, the shackles of the Great Dao that were originally rushing in like a heavenly dragon crumbled inch by inch.

Golden light scattered across the earth beneath their feet, and this sudden change left many people stunned.

As Sui An watched this scene, the corner of his mouth twitched violently, and his gaze toward Li Dao gradually became strange. Even a Supreme Being would find it difficult to do such a thing, yet he had seen it on a cultivator who was about to kill him. It was simply too frightening.

"Does it contain the mandate of heaven? Or is it the offspring of the Great Dao?"
