As Lu Li flew rapidly towards Wangyao Immortal City, he pondered his future plans.
The Heavenly Decree Golden Wheel did indeed help him a great deal.
Without the Heavenly Decree Golden Wheel, he could not proactively attack cultivators from other realms.
It was only with the Heavenly Decree Golden Wheel that he was able to undergo such a transformation in just a few years.
Of course, he attacked the side cultivators first, and the side cultivators then retaliated with the power of the Great Dao, thus avoiding the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.
If even the side cultivators cannot retaliate, what is there for Lu Li to fear from Emperor Lord Ji Wan now?
The name Ji Wan Lu Li's mind, and his gaze darkened slightly.
After so many years in Mystic Capital Heaven, he finally understood the weight of an Emperor Lord.
To be honest, Ji Wan is still the most powerful enemy he has ever encountered in his cultivation career.
So powerful that even he felt oppressed.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
An Emperor Lord... is truly difficult to cultivate.
I stayed in Mystic Capital Heaven for five or six years.
In addition to Ye Chenfeng had told him before, and what he had found on those pursuing immortals.
Amidst a mix of secrets, Lu Li realized just how terrifying the title "Emperor Lord" truly meant.
Only those who have cultivated for nine lifetimes and are still not transcended can be called Emperor Lord.
" Junior Brother Ye is merely one of the few people Ji Wan has ever encountered in his life."
"His Daoist heart has remained unchanged through nine lifetimes; he's quite a formidable person."
Thinking of the secrets of the Emperor Lord.
Lu Li was somewhat dazed.
The higher the realm of Immortal Dao, the more profound and mysterious it becomes.
He was eager to know what level of enlightenment he could attain in this lifetime.
One lifetime, one immortal; one rank.
Only after nine lifetimes and nine immortal positions can one become Emperor Lord.
The difference is obvious.
Even now, Lu Li barely managed to choose his Dao Seed, let alone attain a higher level of enlightenment.
He hasn't even cultivated the Dao Root.
"Above the Dao Seed lies the Human Immortal. Once one enters the Human Immortal, the Dao Seed takes root, and once rooted, it is difficult to change."
"I've already settled on my Dao Root; I still need to plan things out carefully."
The realm of Immortal Dao is a realm of extraordinary cultivation.
Lu Li knew the hardships and mysteries involved, but he didn't know which path to take for himself to Imperial Dao.
Every immortal will choose a path to enlightenment.
There are three thousand great paths, and countless immortals cultivate on each one.
However, their methods of cultivation differ.
Or perhaps it can be said that every major road, once built, will ultimately have different effects.
For example, when he cultivated the Great Dao of the Emperor, he chose the [ King Seed ].
The Great Dao of the Emperor is not extremely rare in the Immortal Realm. Although it is special, there are predecessors who have cultivated it.
Lu Li found a celestial scroll on a Bandit Cultivator.
It is known that the Great Dao of the Emperor has many Dao Seed that can be determined.
"Besides the King Seed, the Great Dao of the Emperor also includes the People Seed, the Slaughter Seed, the Subject Seed..."
"My King Seed is among the more difficult to cultivate."
"When I eventually ascend to the Human Immortal and establish my Dao Root, I must unite with the King Seed."
True Immortal choose the Dao Seed, Human Immortal take Dao Root.
Lu Li understood this perfectly.
And understand that the Dao Root must be compatible with the Dao Seed.
Otherwise, it will affect the final attainment of the Dao Fruit and make it difficult to achieve the desired status.
Fortunately, he was born with the Emperor Fate, and he already had a potential fruit in his hand. He only needed to cultivate enough to bear the Dao Fruit his Dao.
"I had previously wondered why Dragon Fate was not favored by cultivators in the lower realms."
"On the contrary, if the Emperor Fate were to reach the upper realm, it would be met with joy by all the sects."
"It turns out that besides those destined by the Emperor Fate possessing extraordinary talent, they are also born with a position hanging on the Great Dao."
"In other words... the Emperor Fate will surely lead to Immortal Venerable, and the very formation of the Emperor Fate signifies that the other party is proving themselves to be Nine-Lifetime Emperor Lord."
"Once his cultivation catches up, and he becomes Half-Step Emperor Lord, all the sects Immortal Court will naturally vie for him."
There are many kinds of geniuses, but the Emperor Fate is the most illustrious of them all.
The moment one gathers the Emperor Fate's mandate, it means that this person is cultivating to become Nine-Lifetime Emperor Lord.
Even if one dies prematurely, it is merely a failure in one's spiritual practice in this lifetime.
In the next life, I can try again to become Emperor Lord.
Even among the Immortal Court, the Emperor Lord is second only to the Emperor Venerable.
If no sage appears, then the Emperor Lord is second only to one person and above all other immortals in the Great Thousand Immortal Realm.
What puzzled Lu Li was...
Which lifetime does this one fall into on the Dao Path?
In the past, did the Great Desolation suffer Silent Ruins?
Did she still choose him? And why did she choose him in this life?
These questions have weighed on Lu Li's mind for a long time, and there are no answers.
Perhaps, only when he truly becomes Nine-Lifetime Emperor Lord will he know everything.
As I pondered, the distant Wangyao Immortal City drew ever closer.
Lu Li finally back.
Return to the Immortal City.
Lu Li straight for the city's market district.
We arrived at the Great Xia Immortal Workshop Shop.
Stepping into the shop's array space.
The magnificent, golden space was already packed with True Immortal who had come to purchase and select Immortal Artifact.
"It seems that Junior Brother Ye has managed to run the shop quite well while I was away these past few years."
My gaze swept across the crowd, taking in the sheer number of people making purchases.
Lu Li was somewhat relieved.
As the space receded, Ye Chenfeng sensed Lu Li's presence the instant he returned.
His figure flashed out instantly.
A pleasant surprise from the sound.
"Senior brother! You're back!"
"Hmm, long time no see, junior brother. Where are Bone Mountain and the others?"
"Fellow Bone Mountain and the others are busy with the Immortal City Prefecture's mission in the city. Should we send them back?"
"Need not."
After exchanging greetings, Lu Li realized that Ye Chenfeng level had also increased.
He is now Fourth-Turn True Immortal.
In her previous life, she was at least Heavenly Immortal, so this speed is not surprising.
"Senior brother, your aura... it feels much fiercer now!"
Looking at Lu Li, Ye Chenfeng's expression was one of surprise and astonishment.
He could sense a very subtle murderous intent emanating from Lu Li.
It was as if he could be suppressed by Lu Li with a mere wave of his hand if he were to face him.
This powerful aura surprised Ye Chenfeng.
They were all Supreme beings who ascended to immortality, yet the difference between them after their ascension is so vast.
He couldn't even ascertain Lu Li's cultivation level.
"Senior brother has already reached the Ninth-Turn True Immortal?"
"Not yet. I've returned to break through to a higher level."
"So fast!"
Upon hearing Lu Li's plan, Ye Chenfeng couldn't help but swallow hard.
Lu Li has only been an immortal for a full ten years, and he's already about to become Ninth-Turn True Immortal.
Even the sons of Immortal Lord and Immortal Venerable probably couldn't achieve such speed.
After their initial surprise, the two chatted for a while.
He gave a brief account of the shop's business and the past of the group.
Then he went to the Immortal City Prefecture and used ten merit points to exchange for the Extreme Realm True-Transformation Pill.
He began his seclusion in a secluded room within the shop's space.
The sealed array was activated, separating the interior from the exterior with spiritual light.
Lu Li cross-legged on the futon, took out the jade bottle, and poured out a drop of water.
A pill landed in his palm.
His entire body was like solidified frost and crystal.
Nine flowing patterns emerged from the depths of the core, each pattern containing a different color.
It may be blue or gold, black or purple.
Between the interplay of light and shadow, the subtle rhythm of the Great Dao's Principle flows.
A thin mist swirled around the surface, resembling rising clouds and rosy hues, and even before the medicinal fragrance dissipated, the surrounding Immortal Power surged like a tide.
" The Extreme Realm True-Transformation Pill "
"The rarest breakthrough pills below the Ninth-Turn True Immortal are extremely difficult to obtain!"
Looking at this extremely precious elixir, which he had fought for over several years.
Lu Li no longer hesitated, tilted his head back and swallowed the pill...
In an instant!
A powerful medicinal force exploded from the Dantian.
It's like a long river from the heavens flowing backwards, nourishing the meridians and bones.
The Dao Seed trembled violently, and the eight existing cracks on its surface simultaneously emitted rays of light.
The celestial energy surged ceaselessly, eroding the foundation of the Dao Seed.
Lu Li's body was enveloped in a pillar of Immortal Qi.
The Formation Inscription in the secret chamber hummed loudly.
He gritted his teeth and used the power of the Imperial Dao to suppress the surging medicinal power, grinding it into the Dao Seed by strand.
Pain and pleasure intertwined.
Bones are being reshaped, meridians are being widened, the immortal soul is being tempered, and the surging power of the Great Dao is constantly churning.
How much time passed like this...
Until a very soft, crisp sound came from deep within the Dantian.
"Click."
"Snap!"
This sound was accompanied by...
Above the Dao Seed, the ninth rift slowly opened, golden light and mysterious radiance reflecting off it, illuminating the entire secret chamber.
" Ninth-Turn True Immortal, accomplished!"
