Cultivating on Dragon Mountain, Breaking the Record!

When Li Daochen accepted Huang Zongyuan's challenge, an uproar broke out!

He really had guts!

Huang Zongyuan's strength was no joke. He had a King Physique and an earth flood dragon bloodline, and he had mastered more than four divine abilities. He could casually kill an ordinary cultivator at the same realm!

He had even fought someone in the Dragon Gate Realm and survived!

What was more, Huang Zongyuan was very likely to advance further and reach Divine Bridge Peak in the time ahead!

But what about Li Daochen? He was only at Spirit Foundation Peak. In less than three months, even if he cultivated with all his might, he certainly couldn't catch up to Huang Zongyuan.

No matter how great his talent, reaching the fifth level of Divine Bridge would probably be his limit!

And breaking through a realm and advancing another five levels was already close to the cultivation speed of a Sacred Physique. That was definitely an overestimate!

So, in everyone's eyes, Li Daochen was courting death.

Yun Qingshui's eyes held a mixture of excitement and worry.

It really was exciting, but she was also genuinely worried that Li Daochen would be beaten to death.

"He should have confidence in himself, but Huang Zongyuan really is formidable. The sect has put a great deal of effort into nurturing him this time, all so he can earn a good ranking at the Thousand Sect Grand Competition..." Yun Qingshui clenched her little hands nervously.

Seeing this, Elder He sighed inwardly.

He was still too young, unable to resist being goaded!

In her view, Li Daochen had just come from a Lower Spirit Sect. No matter how strong he was, he certainly couldn't be stronger than Huang Zongyuan, who had cultivated in the Yellow Dragon Sect since childhood!

The gap between a Lower Spirit Sect and a Lower Profound Sect was too great. Sometimes, even a physique couldn't bridge it!

Besides, Huang Zongyuan himself had top-notch talent!

The sect master, however, gave Li Daochen a meaningful look.

Someone the Yellow Dragon Ancestor had taken a liking to clearly wouldn't be lacking.

They had to see Li Daochen's true strength before the Thousand Sect Grand Competition anyway, so a match would be good!

If he were beaten to death...

Then he could only blame his own lack of strength. Presumably, the Yellow Dragon Ancestor wouldn't hold it against them!

After all, the Yellow Dragon Ancestor had brought Li Daochen here to help the Yellow Dragon Sect obtain a better ranking. But if he couldn't beat Huang Zongyuan, then he had no value.

"Fine, you little bastard. I'll spare your life for now!" the grand elder said darkly. He had confidence in his eldest son and didn't believe for a moment that Li Daochen could beat him.

Huang Zongyuan clenched his fists and said coldly, "You've got some guts, at least. But don't think about running, or you'll die even faster."

In short, he would be keeping an eye on Li Daochen.

"Wash your neck and wait!" Li Daochen sneered, then left.

Yellow Firmament Peak was where the sect master lived.

Li Daochen followed the sect master there.

"How do you plan to cultivate from here? The ancestor instructed me to provide you with as many cultivation resources as possible," the sect master asked.

Li Daochen answered without hesitation, "I want true dragon blood, true dragon bones, and true dragon souls. The more, the better."

The sect master: "..."

Dragons were nowhere to be seen in the present age, and those were all rare treasures. The Yellow Dragon Sect had great wealth and resources, but even it had none.

"You're asking for too much. At most, I can give you one flood dragon bone," the sect master said unhappily.

"At least five!" Li Daochen said. "My Sacred Dragon Physique has awakened, and I'm in urgent need of such things."

"Two at most."

"Four!" Li Daochen countered.

The sect master glared at him. "Three, and that's the most. If you still won't take them..."

"Deal!" Li Daochen agreed at once.

The sect master: "..."

This brat really was sly!

The sect master strongly suspected that Li Daochen had set a trap when Huang Zongyu was beaten to death.

"Before your match with Huang Zongyuan, don't come looking for me unless there's something important. I don't want to see you," the sect master said irritably, tossing Li Daochen three water flood dragon bones.

Li Daochen caught them and smiled. "I'll be cultivating on Dragon Mountain!"

"Get lost!"

Dragon Mountain was an extremely famous cultivation site in the Yellow Dragon Sect. There were five mountains in all.

Yin Dragon Qi and Yang Dragon Qi permeated the mountains, the two kinds of dragon Qi intertwined. Yang Dragon Qi could be absorbed, but Yin Dragon Qi could not!

Yang Dragon Qi was extraordinarily effective, ten times more so than ordinary Spiritual Qi. Absorbing it could also strengthen the body!

But to absorb Yang Dragon Qi, one first had to refine the Yin Dragon Qi.

The refining process brought no benefits whatsoever and would instead consume one's own Spiritual Qi.

Of course, Yang Dragon Qi was so effective that it was worthwhile even though Yin Dragon Qi was difficult to refine.

Dragon Mountain was what Li Daochen valued most about cultivating in the Yellow Dragon Sect!

Others needed to refine Yin Dragon Qi, but because he cultivated the Lunar Demonic Dragon Physique, he could absorb it directly without suffering a backlash.

In other words, Li Daochen could absorb both kinds of dragon Qi!

"Dragon Mountain really is a great place. It can help me advance to Divine Bridge quickly!"

Li Daochen headed for Dragon Mountain without hesitation.

On the way, Li Daochen ran into Yun Qingshui, who had been waiting anxiously.

"Are you actually confident you can beat Huang Zongyuan?" Yun Qingshui asked urgently.

"Of course." Li Daochen nodded. "I'm going to Dragon Mountain to cultivate, so I can't stay and chat."

"Good, good! Then hurry up and go, don't mind me!" Yun Qingshui's eyes lit up, and she urged Li Daochen on instead.

They were brothers, after all. There would be plenty of time to catch up later. Cultivation was obviously more important!

In front of Li Daochen, Yun Qingshui showed none of the self-awareness a girl ought to have.

After giving it some thought, Yun Qingshui added, "Focus on your cultivation. I'll help keep an eye on the grand elder so he doesn't make a move against you."

"Thanks, then." Li Daochen patted her head.

Yun Qingshui grinned.

She felt fired up again.

Her dull, monotonous days were gone for good. Yun Qingshui scampered away.

Li Daochen smiled, and soon arrived at Dragon Mountain!

Dragon Mountain was tall, much taller than the Supreme Qian Sect's Soaring Dragon Peak at the very least. Its summit couldn't be seen at all.

When the Yellow Dragon Sect's disciples came here to cultivate, they generally stayed below the clouds, where the Yin Dragon Qi and Yang Dragon Qi were relatively stable.

Above the clouds, however, they were quite violent.

Of course, both kinds of dragon Qi were also much denser up there.

Li Daochen chose to cultivate above the clouds without hesitation.

Many disciples along the way turned to look at him.

Though Li Daochen had only just arrived, many disciples already knew him.

Some were curious, some were disdainful, and some even sneered outright!

Who didn't know by now that Li Daochen had recklessly challenged Huang Zongyuan to a fight to the death?

When they looked at Li Daochen, it was as though they were looking at a corpse.

Li Daochen ignored them and continued upward until he disappeared into the clouds.

"Cultivating above the clouds? Does he not know what death is like? I'd swear he'll be back down in less than three days!" a disciple scoffed.

Above the clouds.

Li Daochen sat cross-legged on a massive boulder and began cultivating step by step.

Though time was tight, Li Daochen still didn't rush to break through. He began steadily consolidating his Spirit Foundation Realm cultivation.

He had already absorbed the benefits from the battle at the Supreme Qian Sect, and he had opened three hundred and sixty-five acupoints. Next, he would touch the Heaven and Earth Shackles, then break through with overwhelming force!

"Let's begin!" Li Daochen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

In an instant, both Yin Dragon Qi and Yang Dragon Qi surged into Li Daochen's body.

The Lunar Emperor Rune and the Sun Emperor Talisman immediately began spinning wildly, absorbing the two streams of dragon Qi!

A month passed as he cultivated.

"He's actually stayed above the clouds for a month?"

"I remember the longest record was held by a genius from a hundred years ago, who stayed for a full twenty days!"

"Could he be dead?"

"He's not dead. I went up to look. He's still cultivating there, and he hasn't stopped absorbing dragon Qi!"

The disciples below the clouds were stunned, secretly clicking their tongues.

That alone was enough to show that Li Daochen truly was extraordinary!

Jade Origin Peak!

This was where the grand elder lived.

That day, the grand elder entered a cave, where Huang Zongyuan sat cross-legged.

"Zongyuan, he's been cultivating above the clouds on Dragon Mountain for a month now. I'm very worried," the grand elder said.

Huang Zongyuan opened his eyes, which were utterly calm.

"The ancestor took a liking to him. It would be strange if he had nothing extraordinary about him. But before absolute strength, no amount of talent is useful!" Huang Zongyuan spoke calmly, but his words were filled with terrifying confidence.

"Besides, my physique is certainly no weaker than his!"

"And by the time he comes to fight me, I'll definitely have reached Divine Bridge Peak! How will he fight me then?"

The grand elder's eyes lit up. "Zongyuan, you're about to break through to Divine Bridge Peak?"

"Yes!" Huang Zongyuan clenched his fist, his presence imposing and terrifying. "Beating Li Daochen to death will be nothing but a warm-up for me. My real battlefield is the Thousand Sect Grand Competition. This time, I'll definitely make it into the top twenty and make my name shake the eastern region!"

Hearing this, the grand elder burst out laughing. A son should be like Huang Zongyuan!

At the same time.

Above the clouds, Li Daochen also opened his eyes abruptly. They were filled with a terrifying light, and his presence had reached its peak.

His cultivation in the Spirit Foundation Realm had finally reached completion. He could advance to Divine Bridge now!
