Emperor Daye Breaks Through

Chen Lingxi returned from the snow-capped mountain peak to Inlaid Gold Mountain.

His gaze was deep and his breath was heavy; his thoughts were still on Lin Suri's words.

"No need to overthink it, it must be Bai Lingze plotting against me."

Chen Lingxi frowned. "During the Battle of Seizing the Cauldron, this person manifested in the Xi Yu's waist. It must also be a treasure of the projection or incarnation type."

I was empowered by that spiritual light at that time, and my Killing Power was extraordinary, but I still couldn't stop Bai Lingze from taking Xi Yu away... If his avatar was so powerful, his true body in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm must be even more powerful.

Moreover... Bai Lingze used the great Divine Ability of his clan elder, Golden Grotto True Person Bai Qingjiao, to plot against me. I don't know what kind of methods these are. How could someone like Golden Grotto True Person easily help his own junior?"

"It must be another magical Law Treasure that borrows the great Divine Ability of an elder in the clan."

Chen Lingxi pondered this in her heart, but then shook her head slightly.

"Bai Lingze wanted to kill me with his great Divine Ability, but I don't know where his avatar is..."

"If that's the case, he didn't kill me this time, but he will definitely make a move again in the future. The most urgent thing now is to improve my cultivation level, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to resist any more cunning methods."

Chen Lingxi turned her head and glanced again at Chu Liaocang's head in the corner not far away.

This demon was sealed by Chen Lingxi's Spiritual Qi, its eyes tightly closed.

Chen Lingxi did not kill Chu Liaocang; he had his own plans and intended to use him for something else in the future.

He continued his spiritual practice in this way.

As the saying goes, spiritual practice knows no time; half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Deep within the main hall of the Eastern King's Palace, Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged on the sandalwood throne, his spiritual energy flowing around him, becoming increasingly powerful and abundant.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Within the Qi Sea, the surging spiritual Qi expanded more than twice its original size, resembling a small river flowing within it.

For the past six months, he has been staying in the Eastern King Palace. His Spirit Aperture has already allowed him to cultivate at an extremely fast pace. In addition, he had already set up Clear-Mystery Pivot-Qi Formation in the palace, which he used to capture and refine the abundant Spiritual Qi.

Of course, the most crucial reason lies in the precious pill obtained by the Golden Gold-Devouring Toad after it devoured the Beast-Fighting Palace.

This precious elixir, with its potent medicinal power, floated within his Qi Sea.

After half a year of cultivation, he had fully digested the medicinal power of the precious pill, thus pushing his cultivation to the Qi Circulation Tenth Floor perfection, just one step away from the Eleventh Floor of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.

In addition, the realm of the Imperial Palace-Knocking Realm of the True Edict of Audience with the Dao has been completely stabilized. The phantom of the Heaven-Inviting Great Sage in the Inner Divine Palace breathes in and out day and night, constantly tempering Chen Lingxi's physical body.

Chen Lingxi.

It was the height of summer.

Besides his daily cultivation, Chen Lingxi also naturally Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye You Daye and Lin Suri every day.

Upon Sight-Roaming Lin Suri, he naturally wanted to know the progress of the Heaven-Fishing Great Formation, and whether Lin Suri's senior uncle, Daoist Shurong, had been fully projected.

For many days, nothing unusual had happened in the palace where Emperor Daye was staying.

Emperor Daye kept his eyes closed while healing his injuries, as if he were consolidating his cultivation.

The extremely dense Spiritual Qi flowed continuously from the Emperor Daye resided, which Chen Lingxi greatly envied.

The Spiritual Qi gathered by this grand formation is probably many times stronger than the second level of his Pure Marvel Qi-Pivot Formation.

They are simply incomparable.

On this day, Chen Lingxi Sight-Roaming Emperor Daye as usual, and soon his mind began to stir.

"Today... is somewhat different."

In the past, when he was in seclusion, Chen Lingxi could only see pitch blackness.

But today, Emperor Daye's gaze fell upon the mysterious array outside the palace.

Chen Lingxi followed the gaze of Emperor Daye.

Then one could see that within the great formation, countless intertwined threads of Spiritual Qi were frantically converging towards a certain point, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

At the point where they converged, the outline of a strange flower could be vaguely seen.

The strange flower had nine leaves, the veins of which resembled natural runes and shimmered with a blue light, making it look unlike any ordinary thing.

Most importantly, at the stamen of this strange flower, a cluster of spiritual light was constantly flashing and continuously cycling.

The light was initially quite faint, then intensified, and finally faded away.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly.

It's like the principle of how many things in the world develop and grow.

Just then, the Emperor Daye reached out and touched the strange flower in the Void formation!

Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly.

"Emperor Daye... going to retrieve that Divine Ability artifact?"

He had overheard the conversation between the female cultivator from Lotus Pool Prefecture and Emperor Daye during his Sight-Roaming, and learned that Emperor Daye was using the Immortal Husk as a foundation to construct a grand array, nurturing a wondrous flower above the palace.

That wondrous flower was precisely the Divine Ability object needed to cultivate the Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability of the [Heavenly Decline Method].

If that wondrous flower matures, Emperor Daye can absorb it, cultivate his second Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability, transform the Heavenly Decline Method into his second Profound Root, plant it in his Dao Platform, and step into the Dao Foundation Middle Stage in one fell swoop!

"Even the Emperor Daye, at the Dao Foundation Early Stage, was so powerful that he suppressed three Twelve Levels of Qi Circulation the Dao-Below Academy with a single palm strike, and even killed one of them on the spot."

"If he were to reach the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, how powerful would he be?"

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, suppressing the surging thoughts in her heart.

His perspective shifted, and he saw Emperor Daye Ying Xian, sitting upright on the high dragon throne.

He still looked old, no different from any other old mortal in the world.

Only the two golden flames in his eyes were dancing vigorously.

Inside the palace, Emperor Daye had already stretched out his hand, reaching out towards the wondrous flower.

In an instant, the numerous threads of Spiritual Qi trembled continuously, and then scattered as if they had been untied.

The strange flower that had been hanging in the very center of the great formation slowly drifted over and landed in the palace, hovering in the very center of the hall.

Emperor Daye stood up.

He walked shakily down the high platform, stood in the center of the hall, and raised his head.

The strange flower then hovered three feet above his head.

The canopy of the nine leaves lit up simultaneously, and a blue light seemed to constantly shuttle and flow across the runic leaves.

The radiant light at the very center of the flower stamen shone ever brighter, emanating an indescribable and mysterious aura.

"The Heavenly Decline Method..."

"The Shangdie Ruanle Way Order-Chaos Dao."

Emperor Daye murmured to himself, slowly raising his hand to grasp the wondrous flower in his palm!

The moment the rare flower was acquired, a sudden change occurred within the palace.

An indescribable sense of decay emanated from Emperor Daye.

The sense of decay was extremely profound; even Chen Lingxi, who witnessed such a scene, could not comprehend it at all.

At that moment, an astonishing scene unfolded during Chen Lingxi's Sight-Roaming.

However, the exquisite rosewood beams and pillars in the palace began to crack under the corrosive influence of this decay, with wood chips constantly falling off.

The mutton-fat white jade bricks on the ground lost their lustrous sheen and turned grayish, just like ordinary stones.

Even the dragon robe worn by Emperor Daye turned a mottled dark yellow at this moment, as if it had been eroded by the years.

Emperor Daye closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, held the strange flower in his hands, and began to refine this Dao Foundation Divine-Ability Spirit Item!

Chen Lingxi watched this scene quietly, her heart churning with emotion!

"So it is so. Emperor Daye is indeed going to cultivate the second Dao Foundation Grand Divine Ability."

He couldn't help but feel worried.

"Once Emperor Daye successfully refines this wondrous flower, plants its Profound Root, and enters the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, who in this Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven could be his match?"

Even if the projection of Daoist Shurong were to fully descend, it's doubtful he could defeat Emperor Daye Dao Foundation Middle Stage realm.

"More importantly... Emperor Daye must still be plotting against me. Once he emerges from seclusion after reaching the Dao Foundation Middle Stage, with my current cultivation level, I will be nothing more than a grasshopper that jumps a little higher to him, and I will have no chance of escaping his grasp!"

Chen Lingxi immediately snapped out of her Sight-Roaming mode, opened her eyes, and frowned.

He remained silent for a moment, then activated his Divine Sense, changing Sight-Roaming's target to Lin Suri.

At the summit of the snow-capped mountain, heavy snow was falling.

Lin Suri remained calm and composed, with a handsome face, wearing a brocade robe, sitting cross-legged on the summit of the snow-capped mountain, his eyes closed in meditation.

The Six-Qi True Method Greater Celestial Circuit throughout his body, and on the summit of this snow mountain, there seemed to be some kind of extremely mysterious spirit-gathering array.

The dense Spiritual Qi within was almost like mist.

His aura was much deeper and more profound than it had been six months ago, indicating that he had already entered the Ninth Floor of Qi Circulation.

Chen Lingxi clicked her tongue inwardly.

"No wonder Daoist Shurong once said that Lin Suri had the potential to become Golden Grotto official. With so many fortuitous opportunity and the Spirit-Aperture Physique, I can cultivate at such a fast pace."

"Although Lin Suri's cultivation speed is not as fast as mine, it is still surprisingly fast."

He shook his head, then looked at the sea of clouds in the distance through Lin Suri's perspective.

The Heaven-Fishing Great Formation suspended in the sea of clouds is even larger than it was six months ago.

At the very center of the great formation, the swirling black hole vortex had become even more solid.

Chen Lingxi then looked at the area directly behind the black hole vortex.

But then they saw a red figure sitting cross-legged.

It was none other than Lin Suri's martial uncle, Daoist Shurong.

As early as January, this Daoist Shurong had already fully projected himself into the body, transforming into an ordinary person.

At this moment, she sat cross-legged in another thick cloud, her eyes closed.

The aura emanating from her was extremely intense, and there was even Dao Origin flowing within it!

This avatar projected by Daoist Shurong also Dao Foundation Realm!

She simply sat there quietly, and the Heaven-Fishing Great Formation seemed to come alive, operating more smoothly and exquisitely.

This Daoist Shurong is completing the Heaven-Fishing Great Formation!

Through Lin Suri's perspective, Chen Lingxi could see that Lin Suri was looking up at the Heaven-Fishing Great Formation.

Just then, the red-robed senior uncle Daoist Shurong, slowly opened his eyes.

She took a step and emerged from the clouds, walking to Lin Suri's side and standing with her hands behind her back.

"Uncle-Master." Lin Suri stood up and bowed to Daoist Shurong.

Daoist Shurong nodded slightly, but his gaze pierced through the layers of clouds and mist, landing in the distance.

"I have already comprehended most of the grand formation surrounding that Immortal Husk," she said. "Now that my projection avatar is complete, I only need to spend some more time and energy to complete this Heaven-Fishing Great Formation, and then I can fish for that Immortal Husk."

A thought suddenly struck Chen Lingxi.

He withdrew from the Sight-Roaming, opened his eyes, and sat upright on the sandalwood throne in the Eastern King Palace, remaining silent for a moment.

He immediately stood up.

"No matter what, we must not allow Emperor Daye to reach the Dao Foundation Middle Stage."

With these thoughts in mind, he activated his Cloud-Riding Method, his figure rising from the ground and transforming into a cloud of light mixed with pale golden lightning. He broke through layers of clouds and mist and flew towards the snow mountain where Lin Suri was located.

Before long, the majestic snow-capped peak came into view.

Chen Lingxi descended from the clouds from a distance as a sign of respect.

The three Dao Palace cultivators, Daoist Shurong, Jiang Xiu, Wei Qingran, were completing the Heaven-Fishing Great Formation, each performing their duties, with their spiritual energy and Dao Origin continuously rising.

At that moment, the three of them almost simultaneously sensed someone approaching.

Daoist Shurong raised an eyebrow and, with a flick of his sleeve, summoned clouds and mist, completely concealing the three of them and the great formation.

Lin Suri was sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop, breathing deeply, when he sensed that familiar aura, so he opened his eyes and stood up.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he bowed respectfully to the approaching figure from afar.

"Brother Chen."

Chen Lingxi returned the greeting with a cupped hand and smiled, "It's been half a year since we last met, and I never imagined that you had already reached the Ninth Floor level of cultivation!"

The two sat facing each other on a flying rock atop the snow-capped mountain.

Seeing Chen Lingxi's solemn expression, Lin Suri asked, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged, looking directly at Lin Suri: "But I wonder if I can trust you, fellow Daoist?"

Lin Suri was slightly taken aback, then a sincere smile appeared on his face.

He put down his teacup and bowed to Chen Lingxi: "Brother Dao, you have saved my life twice and rescued me from a calamity in the Ancestral Mountain. How could I not believe in you?"

If you, my fellow Daoist, are worried that I am not trustworthy enough, I am willing to go out and find a Jade Law Document Jade Law Document, and sign it with you to prove my sincerity."

Lin Suri usually had an extremely indifferent expression on his face, but when he saw Chen Lingxi, his face lit up with a lot of smiles.

Chen Lingxi nodded gently and said, "Brother Dao, since I came here in the Truth-Seeking Realm after my Rebirth Realm, I often dream of many amazing things."

I dreamt that Long River flowed over my head, and many secret things often flowed slowly within that Long River, from which I benefited greatly!

Lin Suri's expression changed slightly.

In the Void sea of clouds, the clouds flowed slowly.

Chen Lingxi's eyes were filled with a dazed look, and her tone was tinged with regret as she recounted her story.

"From that Long River of dreams, I saw the Ancestral Mountain Mother Qi about to be born."

"I saw the place where the Immortal Husk in that Long River."

His voice grew increasingly low.

"From that Long River, I saw Emperor Daye cultivating great Divine Ability, stepping into the Dao Foundation Realm, his Dao Origin shining brightly like the sun at its zenith..."

He paused briefly as he spoke, his gaze sweeping intentionally or unintentionally over the thick cloud formation not far from the snow-capped mountain peak.

Lin Suri's expression changed slightly as he also glanced at the thick clouds and mist.

The clouds and mist suddenly surged like waves, rolling and churning.

Chen Lingxi sat cross-legged, motionless as a mountain.

"I saw Brother Lin form a great formation, and then I saw many powerful cultivators emerge from that formation, their aura fierce and their pressure like a prison..."

Lin Suri took a deep breath. "Brother Chen... you..."

Just then, a thick cloud of mist rose up in the distance.
