Li Dao cleansed their bodies with immortal blood; as long as they cultivated diligently, breaking through to the Supreme Realm would not be a problem.
As they left the dojo, the witch followed beside him, her figure becoming increasingly graceful and her demeanor more mature.
"Are you leaving?" the witch asked, looking at Li Dao's profile.
"Ah."
"The return date is uncertain."
Li Dao nodded slightly. After meeting some old friends, he prepared to go to the Boundary Sea.
After all, the borderlands are now guarded by the Gu Zu, and with the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age, the Great Dao is gradually disappearing. Under the threat of the Heavenly Will, it will be difficult for the Immortal Kings of the Otherworld to enter the Nine Heavens again.
He also needs to go to the Boundary Sea. More importantly, Dao Yan sent a message hundreds of years ago that there had been a great discovery there, so it's time to go.
The witch nodded without saying a word and followed him to the Celestial Academy.
The moment he descended, golden lotuses covered the ground and golden rain fell from the sky, making the already magnificent Heavenly Immortal Academy even more extraordinary, with its Daoist essence flourishing, which was quite contrary to the current environment where the Great Dao was hidden.
The elders who had been waiting at the academy gate were overjoyed to see this scene.
Even with such a rich Daoist essence during the Dharma-ending Age, the lineage of Dao can still be guaranteed to continue.
Feng Wu stood before a group of elders, dressed in a fiery red Taoist robe, with a waist pendant symbolizing her status as the dean.
With Li Dao's help, she had already broken through to the Supreme Realm and successfully took over the mantle of the Heavenly Immortal Academy, becoming the dean of this generation.
"Welcome to the Celestial Immortal Academy, Your Excellency!" Feng Wu's expression was serious. Even though she and Li Dao had a very good personal relationship, she still had to be careful in such a setting.
"Walk with me for a bit." Li Dao's figure was as ethereal as clouds and smoke. Standing next to the witch, they seemed like a match made in heaven. Although he did not reveal any power, no one dared to underestimate him.
After dismissing the crowd, Li Dao and his two companions strolled around the Heavenly Immortal Academy. When he arrived at the Extreme Killing Dojo, he couldn't help but be taken aback.
Then a woman appeared, with a warm smile on her face and unspeakable joy in her eyes, her hands folded in front of her as she watched Li Dao and the others arrive.
It was none other than the golden-faced woman who had stayed behind at the temple in the past.
When she saw Li Daozhen arrive, her heart trembled. When she learned that Li Daozhen had become an immortal, she felt both fear and joy.
She was terrified that Li Dao might have forgotten her, forgotten the Extreme Killing Dojo, but the person was now truly standing before her.
A look of bewilderment flashed across Li Dao's eyes.
The former young lady of Cangyun City has now become a gentle and virtuous fairy, and her cultivation has reached the Void Realm. It seems she has not relaxed her cultivation.
"Greetings, Master!" Jin Yan bowed.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Li Dao sighed after a long while.
He was able to perform the Immortal Blood Baptism for Jin Yan and Feng Wu thanks to the collection of a lot of Immortal Blood from the battlefield.
After doing everything, he sent Jin Yan to the Heavenly God Academy.
Even Chen Qing has settled down at the Heavenly God Academy, so there is no longer any need for this Extreme Killing Dojo to exist.
However, Li Dao left the words "Dao Yi" in the sky above the Extreme Killing Dojo.
He once traveled across three thousand states under this name, and now it seems that karma has come full circle.
These two characters can also become the foundation of the Heavenly God Academy.
Once this matter was settled, Li Dao brought the witch to the lower realm. He raised his hand and tore through the void, the rules of the lower realm being as insignificant to him as dust.
Jinyu Village remains as peaceful as ever, standing quietly deep in the mountains and forests.
As his divine sense swept across the area, he realized that many of his old friends were no longer there. When he appeared at the village entrance, the formation left behind in the past appeared, and the villagers, young and old, all came out.
"Who are you?" A group of villagers, all armed with weapons, looked at Li Dao warily. They were all Venerable-level cultivators.
"I am Li Dao." Li Dao's eyes were complicated. He didn't recognize any of these faces, but he could still see the figures of old friends.
"You're the ancestor? It really is the ancestor who has returned!"
"What that sir said has really come true!"
Some villagers cheered, and the tense atmosphere dissipated. Surrounded by the crowd, an elderly man with a cane walked out.
The old man's expression froze the moment he saw Li Dao, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"You're Uncle Li Dao!"
An old man calling a young man "uncle" seemed very strange, but Li Dao recognized the man immediately when he saw the magic beads around his neck.
Li Xuan, Li Kaixin's son, had given the magic bead to Li Xuan in the past.
“You are Li Xuan, and you’ve gotten so old.” Li Dao’s expression was complicated, and a faint sadness flashed in his eyes.
Li Xuan recounted to him the changes that had occurred over the long years: the old village chief had passed away when his lifespan was exhausted, Xiao Hua had also passed away after failing to break through to the next realm, and Li Kaixin and Er Ya had also died of old age.
The two who once vowed to catch up with him ultimately reached the end of their lives first.
"My father and mother said they had no regrets in this life, except that they never got to see you again."
“We’ve all grown old, but Uncle still retains his venerable and proud spirit.”
Li Xuan smiled and shook his head, standing in front of the tombstones engraved with the names of Li Kai, Li Kaixin, Li Erya, and Xiaohua, with a sense of relief in his eyes.
Li Daodu gave Li Kaixin a burst of magical power, then sat alone under the big banyan tree, with familiar tombstones in front of him.
His calm eyes flashed with childhood memories, but the people in those memories were no longer there.
Many things flashed through his mind that night, and he thought about many things.
He left as the first rays of the sun shone on the earth.
A new monument was erected on the spot, inscribed with the two characters 'Li Dao', gleaming with a faint light.
This is a tombstone, and also a protective stone, guarding these tombstones and the entire Jinyu Village.
Back in the village, Li Xuan was waiting for him under a big tree, while a group of children were practicing their boxing by the Qilin Stone.
"I'm leaving."
Li Dao said to Li Xuan that with his current level of cultivation, it was not good for him to stay in the lower realm for too long, as he might accidentally cause the downfall of the lower realm.
"Yes, Uncle, take care." A hint of reluctance flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, but he did not try to stop him.
After leaving behind some legacy and protective measures for Jinyu Village, Li Dao returned to the Upper Realm and headed to the Sin State.
They met Shi Hao upon arriving in Zuizhou.
Shi Hao led eight hundred soldiers to settle in the Sin Province. After purging three thousand provinces, they became one of the most powerful forces in the area.
"Thank you for your help in the lower realm," Li Dao said to Shi Hao.
If Shi Hao hadn't helped Li Xuan, he probably wouldn't have even been able to see him one last time.
"It's all a small matter. Are you planning to leave?" Shi Hao asked, waving his hand.
He learned of the existence of the Boundary Sea from Meng Tianzheng and knew that Li Dao would inevitably set foot there.
"Yes." Li Dao didn't hide anything and nodded at him.
"Take care." Shi Hao patted Li Dao on the shoulder with a smile on his lips.
After the two discussed Daoist principles in the Sinful State for one night, Li Dao left with the witch.
After visiting the Jietian Sect, he walked alone on the path leading to the Boundary Sea.
On this day, the heavens and earth trembled, and the Great Dao, which had been gradually falling silent, roared. All the cultivators saw Li Dao stepping onto the small path and disappearing into the nine heavens.
This immediately caused a huge uproar, with everyone speculating about where Li Dao had gone.
Fortunately, the Celestial Ancestor and Meng Tianzheng, among other immortals, were stationed in the Nine Heavens; otherwise, a great commotion would have surely ensued.
As time went on, apart from those close to Li Dao, people's impression of him gradually faded.
This wasn't due to memory loss, but rather because Li Dao's face was gradually becoming blurry in their minds, and even his once-powerful name was fading away.
There was only a vague impression that Jiutian had produced an extremely terrifying genius, but everything about him was slowly becoming blurred.
"There was once a prodigy whose talent was terrifying, but I've forgotten his name. I always feel that the name is on the tip of my tongue, but I just can't say it."
"Yes, yes, and when I had to say it out loud, I felt like I was about to face a terrible disaster."
"I only remember the word 'Dao,' so let's call him Daozun for now."
Meng Tianzheng and his companions were naturally aware of the legends circulating in the world, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, emotions, and reflections).
"Dao Zun, that's quite fitting. I wonder how he is doing now," Meng Tianzheng said in a low voice.
Li Dao walked for a long time on the path leading to the border sea, and finally saw a dam ahead.
The dike stretched out in front of us, as if standing at the end of the heavens, with the ebb and flow of the sea beneath it.
Every drop of seawater is a broken world; all the broken and withered worlds that have come to an end throughout the ages have gathered here.
This place encompasses different eras of the world and is quite spectacular; standing on the edge of the dam, one feels extremely small.
There was a faint line of footprints on the embankment, and several corpses lay below it, their faces flushed and still dripping blood.
These corpses were all beings from the realm of immortals, but they had obviously been lying here for centuries.
Li Dao did not step over the dam, but instead sat down cross-legged and began to attack the Immortal King's Barrier.
At his current level of cultivation, venturing into the Boundary Sea is still somewhat unsafe.
He sat cross-legged beside the dam for an unknown amount of time when a terrifying heavenly tribulation arrived.
The tribulation lightning spread across the dam, and the booming sound echoed back to the heavens. Even the lost immortal king in the Boundary Sea saw the terrifying heavenly tribulation.
That great calamity gathered all the heavenly tribulations that had appeared from the ancient times to the present day, determined to shatter Li Dao.
"What a terrifying heavenly tribulation! Who is undergoing this tribulation?!"
The intensity of the lightning tribulation exceeded many people's expectations, and Li Dao climbed onto the dam to undergo the tribulation.
The lightning struck several times, turning Li Dao into a bloody mist, but he managed to reverse his fate each time. In the constant tempering, his primordial spirit and physical body were undergoing cruel trials.
The great calamity lasted for a long time. Under the baptism of the heavenly tribulation, Li Dao's body was the first to break free of its shackles and enter the realm of the Immortal King. His primordial spirit followed suit and successfully entered the realm of the Immortal King.
At this point, he had achieved the status of Immortal King, his primordial spirit and physical body had become one, and he had used the tribulation of lightning to completely refine his future Dao fruit, thus stepping into the level of a giant. Strange imperial light began to emerge on his body.
Li Dao felt an unprecedented power, as if the world could be turned upside down in an instant.
Just as he stepped into the realm of the Immortal King, a cold light crossed the river of time and blasted towards him.
Far away in the Immortal Realm, Ao Sheng felt the death tribulation growing stronger and stronger. Through the causal connection, he saw Li Dao undergoing the tribulation and attacked him across the river of time.
