The Heavenly Dao Will

Faced with the Heavenly Scroll's resistance, Li Er's comprehension speed actually increased.

After nearly a century, he had thoroughly understood the mysteries of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books.

Zhen Yuanzi and Great Emperor Fengdu sensed the anomaly and appeared outside the Eight Sceneries Palace.

They realized Li Er was on the verge of breaking through his current realm.

The former Dao Ancestor Hongjun had once said Li Er was already a Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm Saint.

With this breakthrough, he might enter an entirely new realm—the Heavenly Dao Realm.

This news shocked and disbelieved Zhen Yuanzi and Great Emperor Fengdu.

Facing a realm as unattainable as the Heavenly Dao Realm, Zhen Yuanzi was merely stunned by Li Er's youthful appearance despite his white hair.

Great Emperor Fengdu's heart also surged with emotion; though he remained silent, his pupils suddenly contracted.

They knew how astonishing the realm Li Er was pursuing at this moment was.

If he could break through today, it would be a step into the heavens, entering the Heavenly Dao Realm.

If this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly shake the entire Primordial World and stir up immense waves.

Even the former Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who had achieved the peak of Sainthood, had to merge with the Dao himself to possess the power of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Yet, Li Er was now attempting to break through by comprehending the Dao alone, an unprecedented feat.

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Li Er comprehended the rules and order for the first time, entering a state of enlightenment. He rapidly processed his insights, and his cultivation also soared.

The aura emanating from him grew increasingly profound.

Great Emperor Fengdu and Zhen Yuanzi understood that Li Er was at a critical juncture and did not disturb him.

Subsequently, Xuandu, Great Emperor Fengdu, and Zhen Yuanzi, three titans of the Daoist Sect, quietly stood guard, concealing their auras for fear of disturbing Li Er's breakthrough.

Suddenly, a roar echoed between heaven and earth, causing the void around the Eight Sceneries Palace to tremble.

All of this accompanied Li Er's deepening comprehension of the Dao.

Li Er remained immersed in his enlightenment and finally began to murmur, "The true meaning of the Heavenly Dao Realm..."

Although he spoke these words, his process of comprehending the Dao was not interrupted in any way.

His entire body emanated a wondrous aura, as if containing the order and rules of heaven and earth. Following some unseen law, these rules continued to condense within his body.

Suddenly, an extremely powerful aura erupted from him and shot towards the heavens.

The black and white power of Taishang (Supreme) surrounded him, forming the shape of Taiji yin-yang fish, releasing a formidable presence.

Outside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Xuandu, Great Emperor Fengdu, Zhen Yuanzi, and others closely watched Li Er's every move.

They felt Li Er's body enveloped by a mysterious aura, a supreme aura that seemed like a true master, causing their hearts to pound.

At this moment, Li Er finally opened his eyes. His gaze, originally serene and detached, was now filled with clarity and excitement.

His eyes were like stars, twinkling with light, ancient and distant.

He softly said, "Rules and order... have I formed my own rules and order?"

A profound and mysterious realization quietly arose in his heart.

He felt that his comprehension and control over the rules and order of heaven and earth had reached an unprecedented level.

Li Er had touched the edge of a breakthrough. At this moment, he was the first to understand the true essence of the convergence of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books.

He knew it was time to prove his own rules and order.

He softly said again, "I am about to prove my own rules and order..."

The Great Dao descended upon him at this moment, and a mysterious aura, the manifestation of rules and order, surrounded him.

The words and actions of a Saint were already blessed by heaven and earth.

And a being in the Heavenly Dao Realm, their body itself was the law; they were heaven and earth.

He solemnly declared, "From this moment on, I am Heaven!"

At this, Li Er's mind broke through, triggering an astonishing surge of energy, like a giant dragon soaring upwards.

This caused Xuandu, Great Emperor Fengdu, and Zhen Yuanzi, three Saints, to exclaim in admiration.

They all felt a profound shock, as if witnessing an unprecedented sight.

The four Saints lamented that if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a scene.

Because they were witnessing not just Li Er's power increase, but his magnificent feat of advancing towards the Heavenly Dao Realm.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with a sense of trance and disbelief.

They realized that witnessing someone attain the Heavenly Dao Realm one day was their greatest honor.

Subsequently, at the dojos of Saints such as Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti, there seemed to be a sensing.

Their gazes all turned towards the direction of the Eight Sceneries Palace, sensing the powerful aura emanating from it.

Their hearts were filled with doubt and uncertainty. Was Senior Brother Laozi comprehending the Dao? He was already at the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm cultivation; could there still be room for further enlightenment? Their hearts were filled with confusion and shock.

However, the next moment, their hearts suddenly became clear.

They realized this was more than just comprehending the Dao; Li Er was making a sprint for the Heavenly Dao Realm.

At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to have fallen into darkness, with only the direction of the Eight Sceneries Palace emitting a slowly rippling light.

Finally, a glowing phantom formed. It was as if Li Er had merged with heaven and earth, his existence becoming a world unto itself.

The Saints were utterly shocked, murmuring, "How is this possible? How could this be?"

They were immensely shocked and disbelieving at Li Er's breakthrough.

The Saints realized they were witnessing a historic moment.

They felt immense emotion, realizing that the true gap in strength was revealed in the results of silent breakthroughs and self-improvement.

At this moment, all the Saints gazed at the direction of the Eight Sceneries Palace, sighing with emotion. The entire scene was astonishing and inspiring! They would forever engrave this moment in their hearts, continuing to observe and witness the arrival of this era of change and this moment of immense progress.

At this very moment! All the Saints were profoundly shaken and amazed! Li Er had once again displayed his transcendence in strength and a breakthrough beyond everyone's imagination! The Heavenly Dao Realm! This was a realm the Saints had never conceived of! At this moment, they felt the true disparity! At the same time, they felt immense relief and pride for Li Er's breakthrough! They kept their gaze firmly fixed on Li Er, anticipating more shocking performances and breakthroughs! They looked forward to him leading the entire era toward a more brilliant future!

Li Er's breakthrough to the Heavenly Dao Realm left the Saints in disbelief.

He surveyed the entire Primordial World, like a master. Even Quasi-Saints could not escape his will.

A solemn voice echoed through every corner of the Primordial World, proclaiming his ascension to heaven itself.

All beings in the Primordial World, except for the five Saints of the Heavenly Dao, knelt in congratulation.

With a casual wave of his hand, spiritual energy rained down, and all things revived.

The growth of spiritual energy in heaven and earth far exceeded expectations, demonstrating that the power of a Heavenly Dao Realm existence far surpassed the five Saints who had attained Primordial Chaos.

Within the Eight Sceneries Palace, he sat firmly at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Dao.

Comprehending the divine charm of the Heavenly Dao, Li Er withdrew his entire focus, returning to his usual state of serene inaction.

He felt an inexplicable sensation, his gaze seeming to pierce through the thirty-third heaven, seeing through all illusion and reality.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a void passage opened within the Eight Sceneries Palace, and Hongjun's figure appeared within it.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun said to Li Er, "Taishang, you have truly surprised me.

I had expected you to wait until after the Great Tribulation, using its fortune to attain the Heavenly Dao Realm, but now you have broken through. I underestimated your abilities."

Li Er responded humbly, "Dao Ancestor, you flatter me."

He had not anticipated such results from comprehending the Heaven, Earth, and Human Books, but his gamble had paid off. He now stood on equal footing with Hongjun.

Hongjun did not linger. His congratulations needed no further words.

The timing of Li Er's attainment of the Dao was too coincidental. If he had waited until the Heavenly Dao Will awakened, he would not have been able to escape the origin of the Heavenly Dao even for an instant.

Li Er understood that even though he had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, he had not yet achieved invincibility.

He had merely reached the level of the ancient Chaos Demon Gods, and there was still a long way to go to true invincibility.

At his peak, Pangu had slain three thousand Great Dao Demon Gods, his realm directly pointing towards the Great Dao Realm.

In comparison, Li Er's current Heavenly Dao Realm had not yet reached its extreme.

The Primordial World era was no longer the chaotic primordial state of the past, and the Heavenly Dao was no longer the Great Dao of the past.

However, when the Immeasurable Kalpa arrived, the awakening of the Great Dao was inevitable.

Those Chaos Demon Gods who had perished would also return through reincarnation.

The Great Dao is immortal, and its avatars, the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, would not truly perish.

The arrival of the Immeasurable Kalpa might still seem distant, but Li Er would not be content with the status quo.

Most importantly, if the Heavenly Dao were compared to the Great Dao of the past, Li Er now possessed the strength to threaten it, much like Pangu.

It could be foreseen that the Heavenly Dao would not tolerate Li Er's existence.

Currently, the Heavenly Dao was severely injured by the Pangu Imprint and had fallen into slumber, allowing Li Er to attain the Heavenly Dao Realm at the optimal moment.

If the Heavenly Dao Will were to awaken, Li Er would face a world-purifying battle.

Therefore, Li Er's future was both promising and fraught with challenges.

Even with Li Er's inherent inaction, his extraordinary aura was impossible to ignore.

Now that he had reached the Heavenly Dao Realm and merged with heaven and earth, Xuandu, Zhen Yuanzi, and Great Emperor Fengdu were all filled with awe.

He smiled and returned the Earthly Scroll and Human Scroll to them, thanking them for their assistance.

For their kindness in lending him the books, he promised to exempt their disciples from the cycle of reincarnation and the tribulations of the Immortal-Slaying List.

This promise instantly lifted the heavy burden from the hearts of the two great figures.

Seeing this, the other Saints also began to strategize for the future tribulations, dispatching their disciples to the Human Race to spread their teachings and accept disciples, seeking self-preservation.

Among them, Nuwa took the lead, dispatching her mount Jin Ning and Lingzhuzi to lay the groundwork.

Nuwa sent the Five-Colored Golden Phoenix to descend upon the mortal world, signaling the end of the Great Xia Dynasty and the rise of the Shang Dynasty.

At that time, the human leaders on the Primordial World were no longer called the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, but were known as Human Kings.

The Great Xia Dynasty, after enduring four hundred and seventy-one years and fourteen generations of Human Kings, finally met its end at the hands of Xia Jie.

This marked the end of the Great Xia Dynasty's fortune.

Nuwa dispatched the Five-Colored Golden Phoenix to the mortal realm, signaling the arrival of the Shang Dynasty era.

The Mysterious Bird of Heaven's Mandate descended and gave birth to Shang. Shang Tang received Nuwa's support, exterminated Xia, established Shang, and unified the fragmented Human Race.

The Shang Dynasty's territory was vast, and its influence far surpassed that of the Xia Dynasty.

The actions of the various Saints differed.

Venerable Yuanshi and Sect Master Tongtian commanded their disciples to ** go to the mortal realm to recruit disciples of the third generation ** before returning to their respective Daoist temples to quietly chant the Yellow Court.

Venerable Yuanshi continued to adhere to the Heavenly Origin Sect's principles for accepting disciples, while Sect Master Tongtian instructed his disciples to ** go to the mortal realm and widely recruit disciples, particularly among the feudal lords of the Great Shang Dynasty.

Tongtian's action seemed to indicate an intention to ally with Nuwa.

Nuwa laid her plans in Yin Shang, and Tongtian recruited disciples in Yin Shang.

Although Tongtian was confident in the Immortal-Slaying Four Swords, he also worried about Nuwa, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti joining forces.

In the Investiture of the Gods tribulation, the Intercepting Sect's ** were numerous, forming the main force of those who would be listed.

If a war were to truly break out in the future, Tongtian would likely be at a disadvantage.

Jieyin and Zhunti, meanwhile, were both ferrying those from the East to Spiritual Mountain and widely recruiting ** , intending to expand their influence.

In comparison, Nuwa's plans seemed more stable and far-reaching.

Only Li Er's place maintained a peaceful atmosphere.

He sat there calmly, unconcerned by the impending Investiture of the Gods tribulation.

He was different from all the other Saints, not only because he had already attained the profound cultivation of the Heavenly Dao Realm, but also because he was a transmigrator who knew the true secret of the Investiture of the Gods List.

He understood that only those with the Visage of the Flying Bear could wield the Investiture of the Gods List.
