Half a month passed in what felt like the blink of an eye. During this time, Su Li was like a tireless bee, devoting himself entirely to his cultivation.
He practiced day and night without pause, pushing his state to its absolute peak and compressing his realm to the extreme.
His heart was filled with resolve and determination, for he had looked forward to this day for a long time; he would break through his limits to become an immortal and embark on a new path of cultivation!
Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight spilled across the earth, Su Li had already begun his practice.
He sat cross-legged in a secluded room, hands pressed together, eyes closed in deep concentration.
His breathing became deep and powerful, as if he were inhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. With each breath, the surrounding air began to ripple, as if an invisible force were surging.
As time passed, the aura emanating from Su Li grew increasingly formidable.
His body was filled with vast, surging spiritual power that threatened to burst his very skin, yet he remained unsatisfied, continuing to compress his realm and refine his spiritual energy to the absolute limit.
Clang! A long, resonant bell toll echoed across the island, seemingly piercing the boundaries of time and space, cleansing every corner until it was clear and transparent.
This bell was like an ancient musical score, awakening the countless prodigies cultivating on the island.
They opened their eyes one after another, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation, for they knew the Immortal King's sermon was about to begin—this was the supreme opportunity they had long awaited!
Su Li also rose at the summons of the bell.
He stood at his doorway, gazing toward the Dao Altar in the center of the distant island.
That was where the Immortal King would preach, a holy site he had yearned for; he knew this was the first test after reaching the True Immortal realm, and a crucial step toward becoming a genuine immortal.
He took a deep breath, mobilizing the spiritual power within him to prepare for the challenge. His heart was filled with resolve and determination, for he knew that today, he would surely become an immortal!
When Su Li arrived at the Dao Altar, the scene before him left him slightly surprised.
The surrounding prodigies had already gathered, their faces beaming with excitement and anticipation. These prodigies came from various realms; some wore magnificent robes, while others were dressed in simple cloth, but without exception, their eyes burned with a thirst and pursuit for the Immortal Dao.
Su Li did not hesitate. He walked to the very front of the Dao Altar, found a suitable spot, and took out a prayer mat to sit upon.
Though his movements were simple, they carried a sense of confidence and composure, as if he were the protagonist of this occasion.
The crowd of prodigies, who had still been noisy, saw Su Li's actions and followed suit; they found their own places to sit and ceased their loud chatter.
The Dao Altar fell silent at once, to the point where the sound of a light breeze brushing against leaves could be clearly heard. At this moment, the entire altar seemed to transform into a sacred and solemn temple.
Boom!
With this deep and solemn toll of the bell, the entire island seemed to tremble.
Three majestic and vast auras suddenly descended upon the Dao Altar, appearing out of thin air like three towering mountains. Their momentum was so grand that it was impossible to look directly at them.
The power of these auras was so immense it felt as if they could tear the void asunder and shake the soul.
The moment the prodigies felt these auras, a sense of awe surged in their hearts; they knew the three Immortal Kings had arrived!
Each of these three Immortal Kings was a pinnacle existence in the Primal Ancient Realm, their strength unfathomable and their majesty inviolable.
Their arrival shrouded the entire island in a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
The auras of the Immortal Kings permeated the Dao Altar, forming an invisible storm that no one could resist.
The prodigies lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the faces of the Immortal Kings, feeling only their unimaginably powerful presence.
Shortly after the three Immortal Kings descended, melodic and solemn voices began to echo above the Dao Altar.
These were the Dao sounds of the Immortal Kings, containing profound insights into the Immortal Dao, flowing like heavenly music into the sea of consciousness and dantian of every prodigy.
These sounds seemed to possess magic, instantly rendering the mind tranquil and clear.
The prodigies emptied their consciousness, immersing themselves entirely in this mysterious sensation. They seemed to see the trajectory of the Immortal Dao and feel the rhythm of the Great Dao, their hearts filled with endless realization and enlightenment.
In this moment, every prodigy felt as if they were breathing with heaven and earth, sharing a destiny with all things.
Their minds received an unprecedented baptism and sublimation, as if they had been reborn. Their strength also saw a massive increase in this moment, as if they had broken through some shackle and reached a new realm.
Su Li was no exception; he was deeply immersed in this mysterious sensation.
He seemed to see the true essence 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 Dao sounds of the Immortal Kings became increasingly melodic and enchanting, carrying a magic that made it impossible to pull away. The prodigies became even more immersed in the feeling, as if they had merged with the Immortal Dao itself.
At this moment, they all felt immensely powerful, as if they had already become true immortals.
The Immortal King Dao sounds were melodic and winding; time flew like a shuttle, and in the midst of enlightenment, time slipped away quietly.
Two months passed in what felt like a fleeting moment, yet it was filled with endless mystery and realization.
When the Dao sounds of the Immortal Kings gradually dissipated above the Dao Altar, the prodigies, still immersed in that mysterious sensation, slowly returned to their senses.
On every one of their faces was an expression of excitement and agitation.
It was a joy that welled up from the depths of their hearts, as if their very souls had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.
Their eyes shone with a bright light, as if they had seen a new world never before witnessed, filled with infinite longing and pursuit for the Immortal Dao.
Every prodigy felt as if they had been reborn, no longer the same person they once were.
Their strength had been greatly enhanced, and their minds had been purified and sublimated to an unprecedented degree.
They felt as if they had crossed a massive threshold; their souls had half-stepped through the gates of the Immortal Dao, and their realms had been sublimated to the extreme. Their cultivation had reached the pinnacle of their realm, and they needed only a single opportunity to step into the True Immortal realm and enter the domain of the immortals.
As the Dao sounds of the Immortal Kings gradually faded, the entire Dao Altar was immersed in a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere. The prodigies remained lost in that incredibly mysterious feeling, their joy evident on their faces.
However, just at this moment, a fluctuation that transcended the human realm suddenly radiated from Su Li's body.
