Jade Pool Holy Land.
The misty, ethereal aura flowed as usual, and the liquid essence of heaven and earth gathered into a pool, nourishing the gracefully swaying divine lotus within, scattering dappled sunlight.
On ordinary days, this is a sacred place for Jade Pool disciples to meditate and comprehend the Dao. There are always a few beautiful figures sitting by the pool or quietly exchanging their insights on the Dao.
However, today, the atmosphere in this sacred place is more solemn and tense than ever before.
The core disciples who occasionally cultivated here all tacitly distanced themselves from the blue stone deep within the secret realm.
They stood respectfully at a distance, their gazes occasionally drifting towards the figure in black, a mixture of awe, reverence, and barely concealed worry.
They spoke in hushed tones, barely audible, as if afraid to disturb the tranquility of the area.
"Senior Brother Saint's aura is becoming increasingly unfathomable."
A female disciple dressed in a pale yellow dress gazed at the Dao Body, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Even though we can't sense any magical fluctuations, we feel a sense of oppression just by getting close."
"I've heard that the Holy Son is about to travel to the outer seas to undergo the great tribulation of Severing the Dao,"
Another woman in blue spoke softly, her tone tinged with unease.
"Once the news spread, the outside world was in turmoil, with countless forces secretly watching."
Senior sister, you said the Holy Son, he...
"Silence!"
The leader was a senior sister with higher cultivation; she immediately interrupted her junior sister, her expression serious.
"The actions of the Holy Son have their own reasons."
We should simply remain steadfast in our duties, await good news, refrain from making unfounded speculations, and especially avoid disturbing the Holy Son's peaceful cultivation.
Even so, her gaze towards that Dao Body was also filled with an unyielding sorrow.
Severing the Dao the Northern Region Outer Sea.
Settle the Cause and Effect.
Individually, none of these are particularly special.
Given Li Qingshan's current situation, everyone believes in him.
However, when the two events are combined, the calamity of heaven and the calamity of man combine, and the level of danger suddenly increases dramatically.
Just then, a young female disciple, carrying a jade plate, walked lightly yet cautiously through the thin mist by the Immortal Pool towards the blue stone.
On the jade plate were several spiritual fruits, radiating spiritual energy and with a lustrous color.
It was none other than "Crimson Cloud Spirit Fruit," one of the specialties of Jade Pool.
When she was about three zhang away from the bluestone, she involuntarily stopped.
It wasn't that she was unwilling to go forward, but rather that there seemed to be an invisible barrier in front of her.
A natural pressure originating from the level of life and the Dao Realm filled her with awe, making her dare not approach rashly.
She hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.
As if sensing something, Li Qingshan, who was sitting cross-legged on the blue stone, slightly subdued the powerful aura around him, which had been held back, and receded like the tide.
He didn't turn around, but his calm voice already came through:
What is it?
Upon hearing this, the female disciple quickly bowed, her voice tinged with nervousness and excitement:
"Reporting to the Holy Son, this disciple, acting on the orders of the outer sect steward, has brought freshly picked Crimson Cloud Spirit Fruit for the Holy Son's use in his cultivation."
Li Qingshan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze gentle and warm, without any hint of coercion.
His gaze swept over the spiritual fruits on the jade plate in the female disciple's hands, and he nodded slightly.
That's thoughtful.
Let it go.
His voice seemed to possess a strange, soothing power, instantly dispelling most of the female disciple's tension.
She quickly agreed, stepped forward a few paces, and respectfully placed the jade plate on a smooth stone platform next to the bluestone.
As she placed the spiritual fruit, she couldn't help but steal a glance at the Holy Son who was standing right next to her.
The other person had a calm expression, wore black clothes and had black hair, and possessed an extraordinary temperament. Although he did not exude any imposing aura, he had a captivating presence.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart began to race. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look any longer.
"Holy Son, please enjoy your meal."
This disciple takes his leave.
She bowed again, her voice weak.
"Um."
Li Qingshan responded lightly, his gaze once again fixed on the depths of the Immortal Pool, as if he were observing the ethereal Daoist charm.
The female disciple dared not say anything more, filled with a mixture of excitement and even greater reverence.
They retreated quietly, their figures quickly disappearing into the misty, ethereal aura.
Once the surroundings returned to tranquility, Li Qingshan's gaze remained fixed on the swaying lotus in the pond, as if the little incident from earlier had never occurred.
However, the aura that was originally extremely restrained around him seemed to become more concentrated and profound because of this external disturbance.
However, if Mighty Figure were present, they could perceive the terrifying and immense energy hidden beneath his calm exterior.
Like a turbulent sea of stars, outwardly it appears normal, but inwardly a raging torrent of power is surging, ready to burst forth at any moment and tear the sky apart.
In fact, after returning from the Divine Tomb World, he was already ready to step into the Tribulation of Severing the Dao at any time.
However, he hadn't fully figured out the path to Severing the Dao at the time, and because of the matter of the Purple Mountain inheritance, he temporarily put it aside.
Now that the matter of the Purple Mountain inheritance is settled, and I have just reunited with my Earth students, with everything completed, it is time to formally Severing the Dao.
Furthermore, after Purple Mountain received the inheritance of the Great Emperor Wushi, he was also secretly protected by the Jade Pool Saint and the Great Saint Gu Tianshu.
This is a perfect opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole and settle the Cause and Effect.
Li Qingshan sat cross-legged on the blue stone, his black robes as dark as ink, his aura extremely restrained.
His mind had already sunk into the vast and boundless Great Dao.
This time, what he cut through was no ordinary path, but a unique path that required him to overcome all obstacles and carve out a way where there was none.
Deep within consciousness, countless Great Dao Runes rise and fall, collide and roar.
The chapters of the * Wushi Scripture * are manifesting, with golden characters resembling ancient, timeless mountains.
It possesses unparalleled power to suppress all realms and sweep across the six directions and eight wastelands, and is extremely domineering, with one path suppressing ten thousand.
It was a suffocating power, as if all things in heaven and earth had to bow down before it.
The true meaning of the " Sun True Scripture " flows forth, like the core of the great sun in the nine heavens, bursting forth with the supreme yang and strength, the Solar Sacred Force that burns away all things.
Burning and pure, it dispels all gloom and evil spirits; wherever its light reaches, all things are dissolved.
It represents the ultimate masculinity and Fortune, the source of life, and also the beginning of destruction.
The Daoist spirit of the * Western Emperor Scripture * permeates the air, like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, silently elucidating the profound principles of following the natural way and the unity of heaven and humanity.
It leans more towards the understanding and resonance with the laws of heaven and earth, drawing upon the power of the Great Dao, and transforming the great power of heaven and earth into its own use, profound yet continuous.
The secret word "fight" of the Nine Secrets is constantly evolving in the soul, outlining the charm of the ultimate attack.
This is a supreme secret technique that can trigger, amplify, and Ultimate Sublimation.
To push the application of power to the pinnacle of art, to defy the heavens, and to break the rules of convention.
If any one of these methods were to be leaked, it would be enough to trigger a bloodbath that would sweep across the entire star system.
A supreme method that drives countless cultivators to madness, even leading to their deaths.
At this moment, on his Dao foundation, within his Sea of Bitterness, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, and Immortal Platform, things are fiercely intertwining, colliding, and attempting to merge.
They are his resources, his foundation, and the solid cornerstone upon which he built his supreme path.
Over the years, these traditions have guided him forward, giving him the ability to sweep aside his contemporaries and reach even greater heights.
But now, standing at the threshold of the Immortal Three Severing the Dao, Li Qingshan clearly sensed that these inheritances were too powerful and too perfect.
It is gradually transforming from a source of support into an invisible constraint, a sturdy shackle.
They are like broad, straight roads opened up by Ancient Great Emperor, leading directly to the end of the road; walking on them is both safe and swift.
However, if one blindly follows the ways of predecessors and pursues perfect replication, even if one cultivates any imperial scripture to its ultimate level...
Even if one were to recreate the Feng Cai of an ancient emperor in his youth, one would ultimately be living in the shadow of one's predecessors; no matter how closely one imitates, it is difficult to transcend them.
He seemed to see countless exceptionally talented imperial princes and princesses in the vast river of ancient cultivation history.
They are naturally drawn to the great path of their fathers, and their cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds, far surpassing their peers, allowing them to stand at the pinnacle of humanity at a young age.
However, the vast majority of them ultimately stop at the Quasi-Emperor level, unable to truly achieve perfection.
Why?
It's not that they lack talent or resources; it's precisely because the imperial influence of their parents is too deep on them!
The more one draws upon the great path of one's ancestors in the early stages of cultivation, the deeper one becomes immersed in its profound essence.
Like sinking into warm swamp, it's hard to get out.
Their path, from beginning to end, never truly belonged to them; how then could they break free from that ultimate constraint and attain the oneness of all?
From the Mythological Era to the present Post-Desolate Ancient Era, how many imperial sons and daughters have there been?
They possess noble bloodlines and start from the highest point, but they are truly able to transcend the influence of their fathers' great path and defy the heavens to prove their Dao.
Furthermore, throughout history, only Great Emperor Wushi in talent and ability!
Li Qingshan's conviction was as strong as divine iron, forged through countless trials; his Daoist heart was as clear and unwavering as celestial crystal.
What he wants to sever is this absolute dependence on the inherent traditions and the great principles of heaven and earth!
What he wants to achieve is the true "My Way is the Way of Heavenly Dao "!
It is the ultimate transformation of the will from "following the will of Heaven" to "my heart is the will of Heaven"!
This tribulation of Severing the Dao not only requires breaking the shackles of cultivation, but also breaking the chains of the mind, forging an unprecedented path to heaven!
When he opened his eyes again, they were a deep, still well, but in the deepest part, a spark ignited, a spark large enough to start a prairie fire.
The Great Dao may be boundless, but my Dao is even higher; one Dao surpasses all others.
