Heaven Has Its Dao, Humanity Has Its Dao

Heavenly Star Sect

The atmosphere inside the council hall was extremely oppressive.

"Smack!"

A jade slip representing the life essence of Sect Master Li Qingtian shattered with a deafening roar before the horrified eyes of all the elders!

"The... Sect Master... he's fallen?!"

"No... impossible! The sect leader... he's Golden Core expert!"

"Who... who did this?!"

At this moment, the entire Heavenly Star Sect was completely thrown into chaos!

At that moment, the Crimson Realm prodigy was utterly stunned upon receiving this news!

[The Golden Core... is dead?!]

He looked in horror toward the direction of the Dragon Firmament Academy, his eyes filled with an indescribable... dread!

[That good-for-nothing Li Qingtian, even though he's only a ' Two-Transformation Golden Core ' cultivator, is still Golden Core!]

Who exactly is it?

[Could it be... that geniuses from other worlds have also set their sights on the "Dragon-Elephant Suppresses Hell Art"?!]

The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became!

Although he had absolute confidence in himself!

However, he has not yet Foundation Establishment!

If that's true, and they run into geniuses from other worlds, I'm afraid...

Just when he was feeling uneasy, and even began to have thoughts of giving up!

Sudden!

Two terrifying auras, filled with boundless majesty and domineering power, descended from the sky!

"Young Master!"

Two burly men, both clad in crimson armor and possessing auras that had reached the Golden Core stage, knelt on one knee and respectfully performed a grand salute!

"Call..."

Upon seeing the two guards, the Crimson Realm prodigy finally breathed a long sigh of relief!

[The family guards have finally arrived.]

He slowly rose to his feet, and once again, his eyes regained that arrogant yet fiercely combative expression!

He glanced at the turbulent Dragon Firmament Academy and sneered.

"Alright."

"Let you ants from the Lower Realm hop around for a few more days."

"Once I return to my family, establish my Dao Foundation, and condense a ' Supreme-Grade Golden Core '..."

"Come on, let's have a go at you, you so-called... prodigies of the ' Immortal-Abandoned Continent '!"

At the summit of the sacred mountain, amidst a sea of clouds.

Dongfang Yueming slowly opened his eyes, and the hazy feeling in his mind, as if he had traveled through countless ages, gradually dissipated.

But that supreme technique, called the "Martial Extremity Golden Body Art," was like the deepest imprint, firmly etched into the depths of his soul!

[Using all laws as fuel, forging oneself...]

[Using Martial Dao as fire, forging immortality...]

[This body is the Golden Core!]

This very body is the Great Dao!

He was immersed in the vast and boundless information about the cultivation techniques, and his mind was shaken!

However, when he saw the last line of the cultivation method, which read like a warning, a huge wave surged in his heart!

There's no need to pursue Dao-Grade.

[Heaven has its ways, and humanity has its ways.]

My way is not the way of Heaven.

"Heaven has its ways... Humanity has its ways..."

Dongfang Yueming murmured to himself, a deep understanding flashing in his eyes, yet also tinged with an even deeper... confusion.

He seemed to vaguely understand something.

Yet it seems as if I understand nothing at all.

He shook his head, temporarily suppressing these philosophical questions that were still too distant for him to ponder.

Regardless, the most urgent task is to break through to the Golden Core!

He glanced at the panel.

[Technique: Martial Extremity Golden Body Art (0/100000, Not yet Entry)]

[Points:4402000]

Seeing the terrifying number of points, exceeding four million, he no longer hesitated!

[Point Allocation!]

[Ding! 100,000 points consumed, "Martial Extremity Golden Body Art" upgraded to Entry!]

"BOOM--!!!!"

In an instant!

An indescribable, terrifying will, seemingly capable of completely overturning this world and returning it to chaos, exploded in Dongfang Yueming's Sea of Consciousness!

Within his dantian, the already Perfection "Dao-Grade Dao Foundation" seemed to have found its final destination at this moment, and began to spin, collapse, and melt at an unprecedented speed!

His already Perfection [Dao-Grade Innate] body was also spontaneously resonating and merging with it!

And the outside world!

The entire Martial Sect Divine Mountain trembled violently!

Endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth, as if summoned by some supreme authority, transformed into a vast and visible tornado of spiritual energy, which surged wildly towards the ancient "Martial Dao Stele"!

Inside the thatched hut.

Hong Ling, the little girl who was eating a fruit platter out of boredom, suddenly, abruptly, raised her head!

Her large, dark eyes seemed to pierce through the barriers of time and space, seeing the figure in blue undergoing the most complete transformation.

A playful, expectant smile involuntarily appeared at the corners of her lips.

[Is it finally... going to begin?]

Elsewhere, Qin Rushuang, who was consolidating her cultivation in a quiet room, suddenly opened her eyes when she sensed that familiar breakthrough aura!

Her beautiful face was filled with an indescribable... shock!

[He... he's actually about to break through to the Golden Core stage?!]

[How long has it been?!]

He had only just finished comprehending the cultivation technique!

After a brief moment of shock, an even stronger sense of unease welled up inside me!

[Too... too rushed!]

[Condensing the Golden Core is the most important hurdle on the path to immortality! It requires calming the mind and focusing the spirit, accumulating strength for a final burst of power!]

[His breakthrough was so hasty, I'm afraid... it will be very difficult for him to condense a high-grade Golden Core!]

Just as she was feeling uneasy, and even prepared to go and stop them!

A melodious female voice, filled with languor yet tinged with a touch of childishness, suddenly rang in her ears.

"Little Shuangshuang ~"

"Relax~"

"Just watch carefully."

at the same time.

Outside of the Martial Sect Divine Mountain.

A group of people dressed in cyan outfits, surrounded by fierce winds, slowly passed through the sea of clouds.

"Hey? Senior brother, look!" A young disciple pointed to the earth-shattering spiritual energy tornado in the distance and asked curiously, "What... what is that place? Someone is actually breaking through to the Golden Core stage?"

Leading the group was a middle-aged man whose aura had reached the Late Golden Core. He glanced at the ancient sacred mountain shrouded in endless clouds, and a barely perceptible hint of... apprehension and... disgust flashed in his eyes.

"That's the Martial Sect."

"Martial Sect?" The disciple was even more puzzled upon hearing this. "Senior Brother, I heard that the Martial Sect has declined, hasn't it? How come there are still people who can break through to the Golden Core?"

"Yes, I've heard that too. The entire Martial Sect, from top to bottom, only has two people. How can two people be considered a holy land?"

"Heh..." The middle-aged man chuckled, his tone filled with undisguised mockery. "Looks like they've just recruited a new disciple."

"I wonder which fool was so blind as to choose to join the Martial Sect."

"Exactly!" A disciple behind him immediately chimed in, "That newcomer, being able to condense a ' Three-Transformation Golden Core,' he must have had his ancestors burn incense incredibly well!"

I guess it'll be a fourth turn!

"Hahaha! Senior brother, you think too highly of him!"

The middle-aged man listened to the discussions among his disciples behind him, and a playful smile appeared on his face.

"Don't say that," he said, feigning magnanimity. "Perhaps, he is also a peerless genius capable of condensing the ' Nine-Transformation Golden Core '?"

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter!

They, from Storm Mountain, have always been at odds with the Martial Sect!

Now that they have the chance to see the other side make a fool of themselves, why would they let it go so easily?

And just as they were chatting and laughing...

"Boom--!"

Atop the Martial Sect Martial Sect Mountain, a dazzling golden divine light shot into the sky!

The One-Transformation Golden Core is complete!

Immediately afterwards!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

They didn't give anyone any time to react!

The second, third, and fourth rays of divine light shone forth in succession!

Four-Transformation Golden Core!

It's of medium quality!

"Wh... what?!"

The smiles on the faces of everyone in Storm Mountain instantly froze!

[Four... fourth job advancement?!]

[Wow, it really is a fourth job advancement?!]

A flicker of surprise crossed the middle-aged man's face. But he quickly regained his disdainful expression and scoffed, "Heh, looks like I underestimated him. Pretty lucky, huh?"

However, before he could finish speaking!

"Boom! Boom!"

Two even more dazzling golden halos, some even imbued with a hint of "Daoist charm," soared into the sky once more!

Six-Transformation Golden Core!

"Hiss--!"

This time, all the disciples of Storm Mountain gasped in unison!

[Six... six turns?!]

[This... this is already the threshold for High-Grade Golden Core!]

The middle-aged man's face stung as if he had been slapped hard across the face!

Even Qin Rushuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the six halos.

[Sixth job advancement... that's already pretty good.]

With his talent, reaching the Nascent Soul is a likely prospect.

However!
