Half a month seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. During this time, Su Li had thrown himself into cultivation with the tireless dedication of a bee.
He cultivated day and night, pushing his condition to its absolute peak and compressing his cultivation to the utmost.
His heart was filled with resolve and determination. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He would break through and become an immortal, setting foot on a new path of cultivation!
Every morning, as the first ray of sunlight fell upon the earth, Su Li had already begun his cultivation.
He sat cross-legged in a secluded room, palms pressed together, eyes closed as he focused his mind.
His breathing grew deep and powerful, as if he could draw in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With each breath, the air around him began to ripple, as though an invisible force were surging through it.
As time passed, the aura surrounding Su Li grew stronger and stronger.
His body was filled with vast spiritual power, as if it might burst him apart. But he was not satisfied. Instead, he continued to compress his cultivation, pressing his spiritual power to the utmost.
Clang! A deep, lingering peal of a bell echoed across the island, seeming to cross the boundaries of time and space and wash every corner clean and clear.
The bell rang like an ancient melody, rousing the countless prodigies cultivating on the island.
They opened their eyes one after another, their faces alight with excitement and anticipation. They knew the Immortal Kings' sermon was about to begin—an unparalleled opportunity they had long awaited!
Su Li, too, rose at the bell's summons.
He stood at the doorway and gazed toward the Dao Altar at the island's center.
That was where the Immortal Kings would preach, the sacred ground he had yearned to visit for so long. He knew this was his first test after reaching the True Immortal realm, and an important step toward becoming a true immortal.
He drew a deep breath and stirred the spiritual power within him, preparing to meet the challenge. His heart was full of resolve and determination. He knew that today, he would become an immortal!
When Su Li arrived at the Dao Altar, the sight before him left him slightly surprised.
The prodigies had already gathered. Their faces brimmed with excitement and anticipation. They came from all the realms; some wore gorgeous robes, while others were dressed in simple cloth garments. Without exception, their eyes shone with longing and devotion to the Immortal Dao.
Su Li did not hesitate. He walked to the very front of the Dao Altar, found a suitable spot, took out a meditation cushion, and sat down cross-legged.
His movements were simple, yet filled with confidence and ease, as if he were the star of the gathering.
When the noisy crowd of prodigies saw what Su Li had done, they followed suit. They found places to sit and stopped talking loudly.
The Dao Altar fell silent at once. Even the wind brushing through the leaves could be heard clearly. In that moment, the entire altar seemed to become a sacred and solemn hall.
Boom!
As the deep, solemn toll of the bell rang out, the entire island seemed to tremble.
Three mighty, boundless auras suddenly descended upon the Dao Altar, like three towering mountains appearing out of thin air. Their presence was overwhelming, impossible to look upon directly.
These auras were so powerful they seemed capable of tearing open the void and shaking the soul.
The moment the prodigies felt them, reverence surged in every heart. They knew that the three Immortal Kings had arrived!
Each of the three Immortal Kings stood at the pinnacle of the Primal Ancient Realm. Their strength was unfathomable, their majesty inviolable.
Their arrival shrouded the entire island in a solemn, sacred atmosphere.
The Immortal Kings' auras spread across the Dao Altar, forming an invisible storm that none could resist.
The prodigies lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look upon the Immortal Kings' faces. They could only feel their impossibly powerful auras.
Not long after the three Immortal Kings arrived, melodious, solemn voices began to echo overhead.
It was the Immortal Kings' Dao Voice, imbued with the profound meaning of the Immortal Dao. Like celestial music, it flowed softly into the sea of consciousness and dantian of every prodigy.
The Dao Voice seemed to possess a magic of its own, calming and clearing the mind in an instant.
The prodigies emptied their minds and immersed themselves completely in this wondrous sensation. They seemed to glimpse the path of the Immortal Dao and feel the rhythm of the Great Dao, their hearts brimming with endless insights and understanding.
In that moment, every prodigy felt as though they breathed with heaven and earth and shared the fate of all things.
Their minds underwent an unprecedented cleansing and elevation, as if they had been reborn. Their strength surged in that instant, as though they had broken through some unseen shackle and reached a new realm.
Su Li was no exception. He, too, sank deep into this wondrous sensation.
He seemed to glimpse the truth of the Immortal Dao and feel the mysteries of the Great Dao. His mind was purified and elevated as never before, as if he had entered an entirely new world.
As time passed, the Immortal Kings' Dao Voice grew ever more melodious, seeming to hold an irresistible magic. The prodigies sank deeper and deeper into the sensation, as if they had become one with the Immortal Dao.
In that moment, they all felt incomparably powerful, as if they had already become true immortals.
The Immortal Kings' Dao Voice flowed in winding, melodious notes. Time raced by, slipping quietly away as they comprehended the Dao.
Two months passed in what seemed like an instant, yet were filled with endless wonders and insights.
Only when the Immortal Kings' Dao Voice gradually faded from the sky above the Dao Altar did the prodigies, immersed in that wondrous sensation, slowly come back to themselves.
Every face was alight with excitement and joy.
It was a happiness welling up from deep within, as if their souls had undergone a world-shaking transformation.
Bright light shone in their eyes, as though they had glimpsed a world unlike any they had seen before, filling them with boundless longing and devotion to the Immortal Dao.
Every prodigy felt as though they had been reborn, no longer the person they had been before.
Their strength had increased enormously, and their minds had undergone an unprecedented cleansing and elevation.
They seemed to have crossed a vast threshold, their souls having taken half a step through the gate of the Immortal Dao. Their realms had risen to the utmost, and their cultivation had reached its absolute peak. With just one opportunity, they could enter the True Immortal realm and step into the domain of the Immortal Dao.
As the Immortal Kings' Dao Voice slowly faded away, the entire Dao Altar settled into a tranquil, mysterious atmosphere. The prodigies were still immersed in that indescribably wondrous sensation, their joy plain to see.
But just then, a fluctuation beyond the mortal realm suddenly radiated from Su Li.
