When I Prove the Dao, Heaven and Earth Will Celebrate!

When I Attain the Dao, Heaven and Earth Shall Celebrate!

It worked.

Excited, Li Hao hurriedly checked the two divine arts.

Indestructible Golden Body, a lower-grade Earth-tier divine art.

Once mastered, it allowed the physical body to soar through the cosmos and extended one's lifespan by ten thousand years. A protective divine radiance would arise on its own, negating most law-based attacks, including but not limited to soul attacks.

It also granted the innate divine ability, Law of Heaven and Earth.

Law of Heaven and Earth—head brushing the azure sky, shoulders bearing the world!

Limited by the art's grade, the power of Law of Heaven and Earth would vary according to the cultivator's cultivation level and the world they inhabited.

Northern Underworld Heaven Swallowing, a mid-grade Earth-tier divine art. After inheriting and strengthening all the original art's traits, it granted the innate divine ability, Heaven and Earth Devouring.

Heaven and Earth Devouring—devour heaven and earth to nourish oneself!

Limited by the art's grade, the power of Heaven and Earth Devouring would vary according to the cultivator's cultivation level and the world they inhabited.

Looking at the two successfully upgraded divine arts, Li Hao finally smiled.

It hadn't been easy!

This time, it had cost three thousand points to succeed. Of the five thousand points he had worked so hard to obtain, more than half had vanished in an instant. He scarcely dared imagine how many points he would need as a foundation to upgrade divine arts in the future. It seemed he would have to think carefully before upgrading his cultivation arts from now on.

Also, it said they were affected by the art's grade.

Could it be that higher-level divine abilities and secret arts could break free from the constraints imposed by the differing rules of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds?

According to the Chat Group's assessment, Yellow-tier arts belonged to martial arts, while Black-tier arts were low-level cultivation arts that could not lead to immortality.

Earth-tier arts were high-level cultivation arts. If cultivated to the great completion realm, they offered the possibility of becoming immortal and attaining the Dao.

As for Heaven-tier arts, they had already reached the realm of immortals and gods.

What was Heaven? It was the Heavenly Dao!

Heaven-tier cultivation arts represented the most fundamental Great Dao laws of heaven and earth, and were therefore also known as Heavenly Scriptures!

Of course, every world understood gods differently, so it was impossible to provide a completely unified assessment. It could only be said that the Chat Group's ratings were determined based on overall circumstances.

Li Hao pondered it, but could not come up with an answer. He could only quietly make a note of it in his little notebook.

He thought, "Activate the Enlightenment function."

"Given the relatively high grade of the cultivation arts practiced by the group member, minor phenomena may occur during Enlightenment. Please ensure that the surrounding area is suitable for cultivation."

Li Hao blinked, somewhat surprised.

Phenomena might occur? The cultivation arts were relatively high-grade!?

Things seemed a little delicate!

Forget it. Since that was the case, he would change locations.

After only two seconds of hesitation, Li Hao decisively chose to move elsewhere and continue improving his cultivation. Taking the Chat Group's prompt into account, as well as the demand his cultivation arts had for the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he specifically hailed a cab to the vicinity of Emperor Mountain.

Emperor Mountain.

The moment Li Hao arrived near Emperor Mountain, he immediately sensed the difference.

Pure and refreshing!

Dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth filled every corner of the area. If Nanjiang's spiritual energy was one, then Emperor Mountain's was at least five!

There really was a problem.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, inwardly astonished.

Nanjiang was not all that far from Emperor Mountain, yet their spiritual energy of heaven and earth differed by several times.

And he did not know whether it was merely his imagination, but he felt that Emperor Mountain's spiritual energy was still steadily increasing, like living water flowing from a spring.

Li Hao lowered his gaze, recalling the mission concerning Emperor Mountain as he fell into thought.

The source!

Could that spring constantly spewing spiritual energy be the source of the problem?

After pondering for a moment, Li Hao temporarily set aside his doubts about Emperor Mountain.

Emperor Mountain's problem could be resolved at any time. Right now, the most important thing was resolving the huge trouble in Little Dragon Maiden's world. And for that, he needed greater strength to show off—ptui, to maintain the mysterious and glorious image of the great group leader.

Once he reached an uninhabited place, Li Hao completely let himself go.

He flew through the air, stepping upon the void.

Emperor Mountain was often shrouded in seas of clouds. Especially on misty days, the mountains were filled with dense fog so thick one could not see one's hand before one's face, as though one had entered a legendary immortal realm.

Li Hao deliberately traveled through remote areas, soon arriving at a desolate valley rarely visited by anyone.

A sea of clouds drifted along the mountainside. From above, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of white.

Thick shrubs grew all around the valley, and not even a narrow trail remained. Clearly, no one had come here for who knew how many years.

Speaking of which, it had to be said that Earth's environment had changed tremendously since the revival of spiritual energy.

Since the spiritual energy revival, Earth's environment had steadily improved, and vegetation had grown faster and faster. Even the areas around deserts had begun to be covered in plant life. Nowadays, walking along country paths, one could see towering ancient trees that had once been rare everywhere. Massive trees requiring two people to wrap their arms around them were no longer anything unusual.

In merely ten years, trees could grow to a size that had once taken a century, or even several centuries, to achieve.

Because of this, views such as the threat of nature and the demonization of animals had gained widespread recognition and attention.

Li Hao searched the valley for a while before finally choosing to sit in the shadows by a mountain stream.

This place lay beneath a huge overhanging rock. It was difficult to see the scene below from above, making it a relatively safe and secluded hollow.

Once everything was ready, Li Hao decisively activated the enlightenment function.

"Boom!"

Li Hao felt as though thunder had exploded in his mind, leaving him dazed, his soul seemingly cast beyond the heavens. When he regained consciousness, however, he felt that he had become a fish!

A Kun Fish from legend!

As the saying went, a Kun was so huge that one pot couldn't stew it.

Pah. A Kun was so huge that no one knew how many thousand li it spanned.

Emperor Mountain, elsewhere.

Two groups faced each other, and the atmosphere was exceedingly tense.

"Enough. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Carefree Scholar's face was icy as his robes fluttered without wind.

A powerful aura gathered, drawing in the surrounding sea of clouds as though a gale were sweeping through.

Half-step Grandmaster!

The three men's expressions shifted slightly as they sucked in cold breaths.

"Wait. We're all here for the legendary treasure within the secret realm. There's no need to fight to the death here. How about—" Mad Daoist began to mediate, but before he could finish, another change suddenly occurred in heaven and earth.

"Screech!"

A cry resounded through heaven and earth, and the already gloomy sky abruptly darkened.

Everyone raised their heads toward the gray heavens, only to see a colossal roc blotting out the sky as it soared up from among the mountains!

Its wings spread wide, obscuring the heavens and sun, their span beyond measure!

With the appearance of the Golden-Winged Roc, an immense pressure descended from the sky, leaving them all terrified as they collapsed to the ground.

They felt as though they were carrying a heavy mountain on their backs, unable to move even an inch!
