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

Following Feng Wu, the witch, Lightning Child, and others emerged from seclusion one after another, and the once quiet Pure Land gradually became lively again.

Many prodigies gathered together, constantly discussing the Dao with each other, but their divine senses would occasionally sweep over the direction where Li Dao was.

hum!

The next moment, a terrifying field fluctuation swept over, and everything in the area touched by this field slowed down, as if time and space had frozen.

Many people felt their bodies being frozen in place uncontrollably, and a sense of panic arose in their hearts. However, before they could take any action, they heard a strong heartbeat.

Boom boom boom!

It was as if the heavens and earth were beating drums, or as if the pulse of a world was throbbing. No matter which it was, the moment that heartbeat sounded, everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

The purple mist slowly dissipated, revealing a large purple-gold cocoon. Dao patterns shimmered on the cocoon, as if the veins of heaven and earth were all imprinted on it.

Chi!

However, in the next moment, the Dao patterns imprinted on the cocoon suddenly shattered, revealing the situation inside.

Li Dao sat cross-legged in the chaos, his skin as translucent as white jade, his figure tall and slender, his robes fluttering as if a celestial king had descended to earth.

A galaxy floated behind him, its stars twinkling incessantly. He slowly opened his eyes, the penetrating light seeming to see through everyone's situation.

"call."

Li Dao let out a soft breath, which sounded to everyone as if the heavens and earth were sighing. In this realm, they were like cattle and sheep being slaughtered, and their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, the field quickly receded, as if nothing had ever happened. Li Dao's aura vanished without a trace, revealing no trace of his presence, just like an ordinary person who had never embarked on cultivation.

As everyone watched Li Dao stride through the air, each step seemingly treading on the pulse of the Great Dao, the two completely different sensations caused their minds to go blank.

Surrounded by purple mist, Li Dao appeared on the cliff with a few steps, and many people looked at him with surprise and uncertainty.

Ignoring their gazes, Li Dao felt the surging power flowing through his body, and a bright smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

The transformation he underwent in the past year, although his realm has not yet reached the first level of the Escape Realm, has brought about another transformation in his physical strength and the rapid evolution of his inner world. At this moment, he can rival a first-level cultivator of the Escape Realm with his physical body alone!

This is a huge improvement. He could previously rival a cultivator at the Escape One level, but it was still quite difficult, requiring the use of the Phoenix Tree Immortal Zither, a Celestial King weapon.

At this time, his overall combat strength was enhanced once again.

"Senior Brother Li, you've finally emerged from seclusion. I thought you wouldn't be able to go to the borderlands." Shi Hao walked over, his blood and qi as hot as a furnace, and immortal mist gushing from his pores.

"To forge an immortal legacy, one must naturally establish unparalleled achievements."

"It would be a waste to have a lot of skills but not be able to use them."

"But you, your body is getting stronger and stronger."

Li Dao raised his hand and patted Shi Hao's shoulder, making a loud thud.

"You blockhead, you've finally emerged from seclusion!" The witch walked over, shoved Shi Hao aside, and glared at him with some displeasure.

Shi Hao couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Many outstanding individuals have passed the test, and their spirits and energy have greatly improved compared to a year ago.

During that year, several elders took turns preaching and imparting supernatural powers to them, so it is not surprising that they achieved such results.

"The one-year period has come to an end, and it is time for you all to make a decision." Several elders slowly materialized from the purple mist at the edge of the cliff.

"I want to go to the borderlands. It would be too regrettable to be born into this world and not be able to compete with the strongest and most brilliant people!" Little Skyhorn Ant said first.

Its tone was very impassioned, and it also wanted to follow in the footsteps of its ancestors to see the cruelty of the frontier and inherit that unfinished will.

"Green hills everywhere bury loyal bones; why must they be wrapped in horsehide to return home?"

“My master predicted that I would be buried, perhaps in the desolate borderlands.”

Cao Yusheng spoke in a low, melancholic tone, his tone neither expressing helplessness at his predetermined fate nor acceptance of his own end.

"However, remember that I am only in a slumber. I will be reincarnated again and again and meet you all in the future. If any of you find me someday, don't forget to come and have a drink with me!" His tone suddenly became passionate and unrestrained as he emphasized loudly.

Looking at the fat man's serious expression, Li Dao couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

“Monks and Buddhas have a compassionate side, but also a fierce and wrathful side.” The Great Sumeru spoke resolutely, his killing intent palpable. His majestic Buddhist light and crimson killing intent converged, and he fought out with unwavering determination.

"When the heavens are in peril, it is our duty to step up!" Shi Hao said in a deep voice.

"It is but death, yet one endures countless calamities and remains undiminished through a hundred lifetimes. This is true freedom and eternal life," the banished immortal said in a melancholy tone.

"Fight!" Li Dao didn't say much more; one word was enough to sum it up.

One after another, people stepped forward, all expressing their stance. The fact that they came to this Pure Land to cultivate themselves already showed that they had made up their minds.

This time, nearly two hundred people made the decision, which is not a small number. They are all the most outstanding talents in the Nine Heavens.

"The rest of you should not make a decision now; you can wait until next time to decide," an old man said, immediately silencing the restless crowd.

This is exactly the scene they want to see; sending too many people at once would be too risky.

If they were attacked by alien forces, the younger generation of the Nine Heavens would be wiped out, which would be a terrifying prospect.

"Come back here in a year!" After discussing it, the old men on the cliff immediately made a decision: this time they would only take one hundred people with them, and the rest could go to the borderlands as a second batch of people.

The rejected geniuses watched as monstrous talents like Li Dao and Shi Hao were selected, and they didn't know what to feel.

After the number of participants was confirmed, the elderly men did not delay at all.

boom!

The entire Pure Land trembled, and on a black altar in the center of the Pure Land, intricate runes began to surge. Li Dao and the other chosen people slowly began to ascend the altar.

"We've arrived in the desolate frontier!"

Mysterious beams of light shone from the altar, and the sky above the altar collapsed with a deafening roar, as if an invisible force was stirring the heavens and pulling the path to the borderlands.

The next moment, the altar suddenly burst forth with golden light, and Li Dao and the others standing on the altar disappeared, leaving behind only an ancient altar that slowly fell silent.

A vast and boundless primeval forest, this place is extremely quiet, the forest is filled with eerie green miasma, everything is so sinister and terrifying, as if it is a forbidden zone that no one has set foot in.

laugh!

However, today, more than a hundred figures suddenly appeared in this primeval forest.

We've arrived at the frontier!

This is a mysterious place beyond the three thousand states. No one dares to enter it on ordinary days. This place is full of the obsession of immortal heroes. One careless move could lead to death or even annihilation.

Looking at the primeval forest before him, Li Dao's heart began to race. Danger lurked everywhere in this desolate land, and he could not afford to be careless.

"Go! Be careful, this jungle is not easy to navigate," an elder instructed.

Everyone nodded, their faces serious.

Sure enough, after walking for a short while, the group encountered a swamp formed by the fall of a true immortal and the contamination of his immortal blood.

"A swamp formed from the blood of immortals tainted with the resentment of true immortals; anyone who enters it will surely die!"

Looking at the crimson swamp not far away, with wisps of mist floating above it, everyone felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing the elder's explanation.

At this moment, no one dared to be careless for even a moment, because even a supreme being could perish here.

"This place is not the most dangerous. This is still our territory. Only after we leave the Imperial Pass will we understand what it truly means to be fraught with danger at every step," the old man explained as he led the group onto an ancient path that had been exposed.

Li Dao had never seen the area outside the Imperial Pass, but he had seen what the area inside the Imperial Pass looked like before, and he imagined that the area outside the Imperial Pass would be even more magnificent and dangerous.

The group walked onto this ancient road, and indeed it was much safer. They arrived outside the Imperial Pass without any major incidents.

"We've arrived!" the old man whispered, and everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Even from a great distance, everyone could see a great city at the edge of the sky, built from the very foundation of stars, stretching to the heavens and the earth, with no end in sight.

Even from a great distance, everyone could feel the overwhelming sense of grandeur and desolation.

This was the second time Li Dao had seen this city, but each time he saw it, he was deeply moved.

"The laws are like a net, the Great Dao is interwoven endlessly, and the will of Heaven hangs like a knife in the sky."

The first time he was awestruck by the sheer size of the city, this time he saw even more. Each brick was imprinted with a different Dao principle, as if different cultivators were dedicated to protecting the borderlands.

Shi Hao looked back at the Three Thousand Provinces, his eyes filled with nostalgia. Ripples spread across his heart. Returning to his homeland, he missed everyone in Shi Village.

The Imperial Pass stands eternally, stretching across the desolate frontier to protect the heavens.

Before this silent, colossal barrier, everyone appears incredibly small, and this feeling of insignificance intensifies the closer one gets.

Moreover, I felt excruciating pain in my body, as if my body would be crushed at any moment.

In the distance, there are some small towns, all built by the descendants of the monks who guarded the city, who settled outside the city.

The town is inhabited by many ordinary people, but the true guardians of the town, once they enter, never return.

It can be said that this city was forged from the blood and flesh of countless people, and those who entered the city never returned.

"Let's go into town!"

Several elders gathered together and each took out a piece of bone, piecing them together to form a bone altar.

At the same time, divine power was poured into the small altar to activate it. The next moment, the altar burst forth with sounds like the clanging of metal and the neighing of horses, and a rumbling white light swept out, engulfing everyone.

After the white light dissipated, there was no trace of them left; they had all been swept into the city.

Li Dao felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he opened them again, the scene before him had abruptly changed.

This is a dark and boundless ancient land, shrouded in black mist. The ground is covered with white skeletons, and fragments of large stars have crashed into the earth like meteorites, creating craters. It is extremely eerie.

"Is this what the city looks like?" a disciple who was new to the place asked in confusion.

“This is just the outer city; there’s an inner city as well,” Shi Hao said, shaking his head.

Sure enough, the next moment, the elders each took out a piece of golden bone and pieced together a golden circular altar. When the altar was activated, it immediately burst forth with dazzling divine light, directly opening a tunnel in mid-air.

The group stepped into the tunnel and continued forward until they disappeared from the spot.

boom!

As they walked out of the passage, they entered the interior of the Imperial City. However, the moment they stepped into the inner city of the Imperial Pass, a terrifying divine sense swept over everyone present like the might of heaven.

It was as if gods and demons were looking down upon the human world; this almost tangible pressure sent a chill down everyone's spine.

However, Li Dao remained calm, his aura perfectly integrated, revealing nothing. The probing divine sense intensified slightly, hesitated on Li Dao for a few breaths, and then slowly dissipated.

This is the city's strongmen investigating whether there are any spies inside. At such a critical moment, no amount of caution is too much.

Li Dao looked around and couldn't help but feel a little sentimental.

The scene here seems unchanged for millions of years, still sparsely populated, with only a broken star lying in the sky, and many cultivators sitting silently on that star.
