Two months later!
The vortex formed by the Tai Su Dao Crystal hovering above Xiao Tian's head slowly dissipated. He had refined the crystal completely, effortlessly stepping into supreme perfection.
After all, a Tai Su Dao Crystal had boundless uses even for a Half-Step Immortal attempting to break through to the True Immortal realm, yet Xiao Tian had squandered one just like that.
To Xiao Tian, if it spared him a year of bitter cultivation and let him finish accumulating his foundations early to reach supreme perfection, it was worth every bit.
As he reached supreme perfection, ninety-nine great dao runes surged out of Xiao Tian's body. These were the hallmarks of his emperor dao, each resembling the ancient emperor characters condensed by Great Emperors in Shrouding the Heavens when they attained the Extreme Dao.
Those were a Great Emperor's comprehension of the Dao compressed into nine characters. In other words, those nine characters contained the essence of the Dao they had pursued throughout their life.
Yet Xiao Tian had effortlessly condensed ninety-nine of them, and he had not even completely perfected his Supreme realm cultivation and stepped into the Extreme Dao domain.
At that moment, the entire Tai Su Daoist Temple, the world surrounding Cloud Summit, and even all of Above the Heavens trembled faintly. It was comparable to a magnitude-one earthquake, a tremor so slight it was almost imperceptible, yet it could not escape the notice of the world's cultivators. Only ordinary people remained oblivious, sensing nothing. Cultivators, from the weakest all the way up to Immortal Kings, furrowed their brows slightly and opened their Dharma eyes to examine heaven and earth.
The tremors continued for ninety-nine breaths before stopping, vanishing as abruptly as they had begun.
No one knew why such a phenomenon had appeared.
