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

"Are they really back?"

Below her throne, a powerful member of the Jin family, who had reached the first level of cultivation, knelt on the ground and nodded silently.

“They have the guts to kill the supreme ruler of another realm, and they even dare to defy my decree.”

"Ha, they've angered the people from another land. Let's see how they deal with this!"

A chilling sound echoed throughout the hall.

Several days passed, and more and more news was being spread from within the Imperial Pass.

"Have you heard? Li Dao murdered the Supreme Being! To defy the Supreme Being is unimaginable!"

"Hey, I already knew. Four of the five Supreme Beings from the other realm have died. Three of them perished at the hands of Senior Meng, and the other one died at the hands of Li Dao!"

"Tsk tsk, to defy a Supreme Being with the power of the Escape One, this is an astonishing achievement in any era. If it weren't for the flaws in the heavens and earth, he would probably be the youngest Supreme Being in history!"

The clamor grew louder day by day, but the most heated discussion was not about Meng Tianzheng killing three Supreme Beings, but about Li Dao's rebellion against a Supreme Being.

The cultivators of the same generation within the Imperial Pass nearly had their eyes pop out of their sockets, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time. They were all cultivators of the same generation, but Li Dao had already surpassed them by far.

However, despite the storms and trials outside, Li Dao has never stepped out of the temple.

Inside the cave, Li Dao sat naked on the bed, slowly opening his eyes. His piercing gaze seemed to see through everything.

He has been focusing on healing his injuries these past few days, and his physique has almost fully recovered. However, the blood pills in the Refining God Furnace have also been almost completely used up.

His aura had increased somewhat, but his cultivation level remained stuck at the peak of the Escape One realm.

But Li Dao was not worried at all. As long as his strength could still improve, he didn't care whether his cultivation level would be stuck.

Just as he was pondering the various matters to be discussed, a smooth, porcelain-like arm wrapped around his waist.

The witch slowly sat up, a look of satisfaction on her face. She pressed her small face against Li Dao's back and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "The Grand Elder has sent word that you are leaving again."

Li Dao placed his hand on the slender hand in front of him and said in a steady voice, "The Grand Elder has summoned me here, presumably to discuss something."

"I know." The witch's voice was somewhat somber. When Li Dao possessed the combat power to fight against the Supreme Being, his status in the Imperial Pass had already risen significantly, and he was considered a prominent figure in the Nine Heavens.

"Hmm." Li Daoqi put on his robe.

A dark red Taoist robe outlined his tall and straight figure, his face was as white as jade, and he exuded an indescribable charm, like a mountain breeze and a forest spring, seemingly close at hand yet far away.

The witch also got up, straightened Li Daoli's robes, and watched him walk out of the dojo, her eyes filled with a lingering worry.

This is a mountain forest shrouded in chaotic energy, with majestic peaks that resemble long swords that are hidden and do not yet unsheathe.

This is where Meng Tianzheng often secluded himself.

Li Dao suddenly appeared above the mountains and forests, silently. With a wave of his sleeve, the chaotic energy in front of him split open to the sides, creating a path for him.

Deep in the mountains lies an ancient, colossal palace, its surface shimmering with runes that extend into the forest, the layered mountains themselves appearing to be part of these runes.

This is an awe-inspiring formation, connecting heaven and earth, making it difficult for ordinary people to enter.

However, as Li Dao arrived, the great formation emitted a dazzling light, guiding him into it.

As he entered, he was suddenly transported to an ancient hall, where, amidst the flickering lamplight, he saw Meng Tianzheng sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

Meng Tianzheng, whose eyelids were slightly lowered, slowly raised his eyes. When he saw Li Dao coming, his lips parted slightly.

"Bathed in the blood of the supreme, comprehended the path to immortality."

"I am about to go into seclusion, so I'm leaving the affairs of the Imperial Pass to you."

A strange light flashed in Li Dao's eyes, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Clearly, this battle in the Heavenly Beast Forest had given Meng Tianzheng a glimmer of opportunity, a chance to break into the realm of immortality.

Hearing his resolute words, Li Dao hesitated to speak.

He nodded to the old man and said firmly, "I'm here."

Meng Tianzheng nodded. Apart from the fact that Tianyuan was unshakeable, Li Dao's existence was also the reason why he couldn't wait to go into seclusion to break through his cultivation level.

"If I can enter the realm of immortality, the Nine Heavens will have a better chance of winning when facing other realms."

"The heavens have been without immortals for far too long."

Meng Tianzheng spoke with emotion.

Since the great changes in the world, no true immortal has appeared in the Nine Heavens. If this continues, the Nine Heavens will inevitably be destroyed by the alien realm. That is why he wants to break through to the next realm.

Li Dao remained silent. This was an undeniable fact. Without the Immortal Realm, the Nine Heavens were incomplete, making it extremely difficult to break into the Immortal Dao realm.

"Take this and leave." Meng Tianzheng took out a piece of World Annihilation Incense and handed it to Li Dao.

Li Dao's eyes lit up slightly. After accepting the World Extinction Incense, he left.

Not long after he left the giant palace, the witch sent word.

"A reunion?"

Li Dao smiled. This was an invitation from Shi Hao and others. Whether it was Cao Yusheng, Little Rabbit, Chang Gongyan, or even the Immortal and the Ten-Crown King, they all wanted to meet him.

Beside a celestial pool standing atop a mountain, a group of composed cultivators sat at a jade table, all looking in Shi Hao's direction.

"You didn't see it at the time, but Li Dao pierced the head of a supreme being with his spear, causing blood to splatter on the spot. The scene was truly shocking!"

"..."

Shi Hao spoke eloquently, and the little rabbit's eyes sparkled with admiration, while the Qilin in his arms listened in a daze.

The Immortal and the Ten-Crown King looked at Shi Hao, and then thought of Li Dao, and couldn't help but sigh.

During their time in the borderlands, they participated in many battles, which made them much more composed and their cultivation levels steadily improved. However, they were still far behind Li Dao and Shi Hao.

Not to mention that Li Dao and Shi Hao have both entered the Escape One realm, Li Dao's feat of defying the Supreme Being is something they can hardly imagine.

Just as the atmosphere was getting lively, Li Dao arrived.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Li Dao is here!"

The next moment, everyone's eyes turned to Li Dao, who was approaching from a distance.

Li Dao arrived with the witch, a faint smile on his lips, and nodded to the people around him.

Everyone who comes here is connected to him.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time. You're getting more and more frightening." The Dragon Girl walked over, her tone familiar.

"You guys are doing well too; you must have had quite a bit of success in the borderlands," Li Dao replied with a smile.

The two took their seats, and the atmosphere became even more lively. Both were young cultivators, and after initially being shocked by Li Dao's achievements, they immediately put those aside.

One question after another came at Li Dao like a torrent of beans.

Li Dao responded with a smile, clearly enjoying the atmosphere. Amidst the laughter and chatter, the group began to discuss the Dao.

He also learned from this that when these people learned that Shi Hao was trapped in the Heavenly Beast Forest, they almost rushed to his rescue, but were stopped by him.

Shi Hao thanked them one by one and also talked about his various adventures along the way, such as the Burial Master and the Fearless Lion. Li Dao listened with great interest.

However, just as the atmosphere was getting heated, a series of crisp echoes of horses' hooves hitting the ground came from afar.

Li Dao's smile faded, he slowly put down his wine cup, and looked towards the horizon.

Then came a group of cultivators clad in golden armor, four to a chariot, standing on war chariots pulled by ferocious beasts, charging towards them.

A battle flag belonging to the Jin family fluttered in the strong wind.

"People from the Jin family."

The lively atmosphere was put on hold, and many people frowned.

"The Jin family's Lord Jin stopped many people from leaving the city to help, so what does he want to do now?" The little rabbit pouted, somewhat dissatisfied.

Shi Hao frowned. Although he was dissatisfied with the Jin family's actions, he couldn't say anything from the perspective of maintaining the safety of the Imperial Pass. He didn't understand why they had come here at this time.

"They've come with ill intentions," Li Dao said calmly. Many people around him immediately changed their expressions and prepared for battle.

"Huang, did you bring back a rotten wooden box from outside?" A respected elder of the Jin family stepped down from a chariot and asked in a loud voice.

"Yes." Shi Hao did not hide anything. He had shown the rotten wooden box to everyone present before, and none of them had noticed anything unusual. Shi Hao answered frankly.

“Very well, that box is of great importance. It has been requisitioned. Please hand it over so that it can be given to a respected elder in the city for research.” The old man said in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

As soon as these words were spoken, the previously lively banquet immediately cooled down.

"Oh, what kind of highly respected person are you? Come on, come out and show yourself. I want to see just how highly respected you are." Before Shi Hao could even speak, Cao Yusheng couldn't help but mock him.

"Are the Jin family robbers? They just opened their mouths and were about to take that box away. Shi Hao risked his life to bring it back." The little rabbit immediately replied.

Everyone present was connected to Shi Hao, so naturally they wouldn't speak up for the Jin family and all looked at the Jin family elder.

“You juniors, don’t spout nonsense. This rotten wooden box is a matter of life and death for the Imperial Pass. You cannot bear the responsibility for this.” The old man of the Jin family’s face darkened.

“Well, let’s hand over the wooden box. We’ll ask an expert to examine it.” At this moment, another old woman stepped forward.

"Your Jin family's supreme leader has never left the Imperial Pass, nor has he ever thought of helping Shi Hao and the others. Yet now you come to forcibly seize the wooden box. Isn't that going too far? Is this how you treat meritorious officials?" At this moment, the Ten-Crown King also spoke up. The power behind him was not weak either, and he was not afraid of the Jin family at all.

"The Jin family's supreme leader is a pillar of the Imperial Pass. How can he be moved lightly? If it weren't for the Jin family's supreme leader's protection, the Imperial Pass would have been breached long ago!" Jin Yi's already gloomy face turned completely black at this moment.

"Heh, a pillar? Interesting. It seems the survival of the Imperial Pass is all thanks to the Jin family." Li Dao scoffed coldly and spoke indifferently.

"Naturally, the importance of the Jin family's supreme leader to the Imperial Pass is self-evident."

"You must be Li Dao. I heard you were fortunate enough to kill a Supreme Being. Very good. If you could receive instruction from the Supreme Being of my Jin family, you would become even stronger."

Upon hearing Li Dao speak, Jin Yi immediately adopted a condescending tone, his voice filled with undisguised arrogance, attributing Li Dao's achievements to mere luck in just a few words.

At this moment, even the most dull-witted person would realize that the Jin family had come to suppress Li Dao and Shi Hao.

Their fame had grown so great during this period that it was subtly undermining the prestige of the Jin family, hence their use of the rotten wooden box as a pretext for their attack.

"Oh."

Li Dao chuckled lightly, and an invisible pressure spread out like a gentle breeze. The others felt a cool breeze on their faces, but Jin Yi's expression suddenly changed, as if a ten-thousand-foot wave was crashing down on him.

Boom!

Jin Yi's body crashed heavily onto the ground. Behind him, many Jin family cultivators felt as if a golden sword was pressed against their brows, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

"How dare you!" Blood trickled from Jin Yi's mouth. He never expected that Li Dao would attack so ruthlessly without warning.

"Bring out your pillar of strength. I'd like to see if she can live up to that title." Li Dao gripped his wine cup, his tone indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

The people around them realized what was happening and were startled.
