Breaking Through to the Great Dao Realm!

The Nether Emperor stared at Lu Qing'an for several breaths.

For the first time, those eyes, which were like two black abysses, showed an extremely obvious fluctuation.

All rules.

Have you cultivated everything to its ultimate level?

He himself couldn't quite remember how long he had lived.

From an unknown cultivator, he gradually cultivated the Great Dao, established the Nether Emperor Holy Sect, and then led this sect to become one of the top powers in the Hongmeng Holy Realm.

Over such a long period of time, he has seen too many geniuses to count.

Some people are born with an affinity for fire, attracting Heavenly Dao of Fire from the moment they are born.

Some people, while in the Eternal Realm, have simultaneously cultivated more than a dozen rules to their ultimate level.

There are even some truly terrifying prodigies who, before breaking through to the Great Dao Realm, forcibly cultivated dozens of perfect rules.

More than three thousand kinds?

Full repair?

And all of them have reached their ultimate level?

Are you kidding me!

The rules of cultivation are not as simple as absorbing a power into the body.

Each rule has its own characteristics.

Some aspects are mutually reinforcing.

Some combinations are incompatible.

Some are even completely contradictory.

Fire and water, light and darkness, life and death, time and space, cause and effect and destiny...

It's not difficult to cultivate one or two skills.

The more one cultivates, the more terrifying the pressure one bears.

Later on, it became a problem that talent alone couldn't solve.

The body is just a container.

The more you stuff in, the more violently they explode when they clash.

Therefore, almost all truly powerful cultivators in the Hongmeng Holy Realm will make a choice.

First, choose a few paths that best suit you.

Once you break through to the Great Dao Realm, you can gradually cultivate other Great Dao as well.

This is the cultivation method recognized by all cultivators throughout countless years.

But... this guy did the complete opposite?

Before even cultivating a single Great Dao, you've already filled the entire set of rules?

The change in the Nether Emperor's expression quickly disappeared.

But he slowly loosened his hands, which were behind his back.

"Xiaoshan."

Luo Qiushan's lips curled slightly.

"Master."

Are you sure?

"Sure."

Luo Qiushan answered without the slightest hesitation.

The Nether Emperor did not send another message.

Instead, he asked Lu Qing'an in front of him, "Young friend Lu, may I take a look?"

Lu Qing'an naturally knew what he wanted to see.

I don't really care about that.

"Can."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Lu Qing'an did not make any complicated movements.

He simply stood there, slightly releasing his suppression of the energy of the rules within his body.

The next moment.

Things have changed.

The Holy Land Peak Vein of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect was originally shrouded in a faint darkness all year round.

But the moment Lu Qing'an released his suppression, the heavens and earth seemed to be suddenly shaken.

A golden glint appeared in the air.

sharp.

Its sharp edge was fully revealed.

Immediately afterwards, the grass and trees trembled slightly, and a vast expanse of green vitality rose from the mountains and forests.

Water vapor condenses.

Flames appeared.

A major earthquake occurred.

The five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—are the first to manifest.

And this is just the beginning.

Boom!

Thunder suddenly rumbled from the distant sky.

Tiny streaks of lightning darted through the dark clouds.

The wind began to blow.

The temperature then plummeted in a very short time.

Ice crystals formed out of thin air.

Vast shadows rippled through the mountains and forests, only to be illuminated by beams of light falling from the clouds.

dark.

bright.

wind.

thunder.

ice.

Immediately afterwards, the space around Lu Qing'an began to distort in an extremely subtle way.

It will stretch out in a moment.

It will shorten in a while.

Although the two people were only a few feet apart, they felt as if there was an infinite distance between them.

Unseen threads of cause and effect appeared in the void.

The flow rate of time has changed.

Life and death are intertwined.

The cycle of Yin and Yang.

Destruction and creation coexist.

A sort of.

Ten kinds.

One hundred kinds.

A thousand kinds!

In the end, even the Nether Emperor could no longer distinguish them one by one!

Because there are just too many!

What's even more terrifying is that none of these rules are incomplete.

Everything is perfect!

All the rules revolved slowly around Lu Qing'an, and although there were countless conflicting forces within them, they strangely maintained a perfect balance.

There was no riot.

There is no conflict.

It didn't get out of control.

Lu Qing'an stood in the very center.

His expression was calm.

It's as if all of this was always meant to be this way.

The Nether Emperor remained silent.

Luo Qiushan, however, kept her eyes fixed on her master.

She suddenly felt like laughing.

When I first learned that Lu Qing'an had cultivated all the rules to their extreme, my reaction wasn't much better than my master's.

Now it's finally someone else's turn.

Li Wensong, standing to the side, seemed to take it all for granted.

Brother Lu, huh?

normal.

Let alone cultivating all the rules.

If someone suddenly told him that Lu Qing'an might be in a bad mood one day and turn the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm upside down for fun, he would probably have to consider whether it was some kind of scheme left behind by Brother Lu in the past.

Anyway.

Indecisive when faced with a problem.

Brother Lu is awesome, that's all!

The Nether Emperor remained silent for a long time.

Suddenly, a hand was raised.

"That's fine."

Lu Qing'an nodded slightly.

A thought crossed my mind.

The strange phenomena in the sky vanished in an instant.

The wind has stopped.

The thunder dissipated.

The space has returned to normal.

The power of those rules that had caused such chaos in the entire world receded back into Lu Qing'an's body like a tide.

It all happened in just a few breaths.

The way the Nether Emperor looked at him was completely different now.

"Now I understand why the sect's fortune has suddenly surged."

Lu Qing'an blinked.

Sect fortune?

Luo Qiushan understood.

"Did Master emerge from seclusion because of the sect's fortune?"

The Nether Emperor nodded.

"Just recently, the sect's fortune suddenly surged."

At this point, he glanced at Lu Qing'an, then at Li Wensong.

"Now it seems the reason lies with the two of you."

Li Wensong immediately straightened up.

Is there anything else I need to do?

Looks like I'm pretty important too!

But the next moment.

The Nether Emperor added another sentence.

"It should still be him."

Li Wensong: "..."

All right.

I was overthinking it.

Where is Brother Lu? How could I possibly be the main character?

The Nether Emperor had no idea what Li Wensong was thinking.

His attention is now almost entirely focused on Lu Qing'an.

"Young friend Lu, you should know that the more rules you cultivate, the more difficult it will be to break through to the Great Dao Realm in the future."

Lu Qing'an nodded.

Li Wensong had already told him about these things before.

The Great Dao Sacred Origin are controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

To elevate a rule to the level of Great Dao, one needs not only sufficient personal accumulation but also to pass the corresponding test of the Heavenly Dao.

The Nether Emperor continued, "There is an even more troublesome problem."

"Conflicts will occur between different Great Dao."

"You're currently only at the rule level; the conflict isn't serious yet."

But the Great Dao are different.

"Rules are like streams, but the Great Dao is a vast ocean."

"If you cultivate too many Great Dao, and your own body cannot bear them, you will eventually be torn apart by the power of the Great Dao without the enemy even having to make a move."

Lu Qing'an seemed to be deep in thought.

Li Wensong hadn't explained this to him in detail before.

The Nether Emperor looked at him.

"Throughout the history of the Hongmeng Holy Realm, it's not that no one has ever considered cultivating all the Great Dao."

"There might be more than one."

"Someone has cultivated seventy-two Great Dao."

"Someone has reached 108 types."

"I've even heard that in an extremely distant era, a powerful figure once mastered more than three hundred different Great Dao."

"And then?" Lu Qing'an asked.

The Nether Emperor calmly stated, "They're all dead."

Li Wensong's lips twitched.

These three words sound really auspicious.

The Nether Emperor continued, "The more Great Dao, the more severe the conflicts will become. Especially some Great Dao that are completely opposite in nature, placed within a person, are like forcibly locking two mortal enemies in a room."

"It can still be controlled for a short period of time."

"Problems are bound to arise if this continues for too long."

He stared at Lu Qing'an.

"Therefore, if you truly wish to elevate all rules to the level of the Great Dao, the path you must take will likely be countless times more difficult than you imagine."

Lu Qing'an did not answer immediately.

He simply looked down at his hands.

Are all the rules conflicting with each other?

Will I kill myself?

This is something that definitely deserves serious consideration.

After all, nobody wants to die if they can live.

However, at that moment, the system's familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Host, don't worry.]

[This system is here.]

Lu Qing'an's eyes flickered slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

[The literal meaning.]

[This system will maintain your cultivation level and power at their optimal state.]

[Don't even mention the Three Thousand Great Dao.]

[Even if you send in three thousand more, I'll arrange everything perfectly for you.]

Lu Qing'an paused for a moment.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

[You didn't ask.]

"..."

That makes sense.

Lu Qing'an was unable to refute it.

He immediately felt confident.

When he looked up again, his expression had returned to calm.

Seeing this, the Nether Emperor assumed that he had already made a choice.

"It's good that you can figure it out."

Lu Qing'an smiled.

"You've misunderstood, senior."

The Nether Emperor was taken aback.

I still intend to cultivate all of it.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Li Wensong silently turned his head away.

really.

This is the Brother Lu.

For the first time, the Nether Emperor's brows furrowed truly.

Didn't you understand what I just said?

"I understand."

"Then why..."

Lu Qing'an smiled and said, "As the senior said, those people in the past couldn't do it."

"That's them."

"It wasn't me."

The Nether Emperor paused.

Luo Qiushan's eyes brightened slightly.

That's a lot...

That's pretty arrogant.

But coming from Lu Qing'an, she actually didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, this guy almost killed her with the power of rules before he had even cultivated a single Great Dao.

Thinking about this...

Luo Qiushan suddenly transmitted her voice.

"Master."

"There's something else I forgot to tell you."

A bad feeling immediately rose in the Nether Emperor's heart.

Why are there still more?

"What's up?"

Luo Qiushan coughed lightly.

"I have sparred with Fellow Daoist Lu before."

The Nether Emperor looked at her.

And the result?

Luo Qiushan remained silent for a moment.

She really didn't want to bring this up.

Embarrassing.

But it seems inappropriate not to say anything now.

"I lost."

The Nether Emperor showed no reaction.

Knowing that Lu Qing'an had cultivated more than three thousand rules to their ultimate level, he could accept this outcome.

Luo Qiushan then added a sentence.

To be precise, he failed to deliver his final blow.

"Um?"

"He only used a portion of his strength so far, yet he has already forced me to use all twenty of his Great Dao."

The Nether Emperor finally looked at her.

Luo Qiushan continued to transmit her voice.

Finally, he increased his aura fivefold.

"Even before I actually made a move, I had an extremely strong feeling."

How does it feel?

Luo Qiushan looked serious.

"He will die."

Nether Emperor: "..."

This time.

He truly fell silent.

Rule hierarchy.

How could someone who had cultivated twenty different Great Dao be driven to this point?

Moreover, as Luo Qiushan's master, he knew her strength best.

Even within the entire Hongmeng Holy Realm, this girl is already among the top-tier Great Dao experts.

This kid in front of me...

What kind of monster is it?

The Nether Emperor looked at Lu Qing'an again.

After a long while, he suddenly smiled.

"Interesting."

"That's really interesting."

I've lived for so many years.

For a long time, nothing had truly given him anything to look forward to.

But now.

He suddenly really wanted to see it.

Such a person, who has not even cultivated the Great Dao yet already possesses such terrifying strength.

Once you truly step into the Great Dao Realm.

What will it turn into?!

The Nether Emperor turned to look at the token in Luo Qiushan's hand.

"You don't need to go find your Uncle Luo."

Luo Qiushan blinked.

"Master, what about the Great Dao of Cause and Effect..."

We'll talk about it later.

The Nether Emperor looked at Lu Qing'an.

What he needs most right now is not someone to teach him how to cultivate the Great Dao.

"Instead, I went in myself to see for myself."

Lu Qing'an's eyes brightened slightly.

Is a breakthrough finally about to begin?

The Nether Emperor continued, "Xiaoshan should have told you about the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements before, right?"

"I said that."

"Let's start with the Great Dao of the Five Elements."

A hint of anticipation appeared in the eyes of the Nether Emperor.

"I will personally take you there."

"Master will personally take him there?"

Luo Qiushan was clearly taken aback.

It's not because I'm unwilling.

It was because it was too unexpected.

How many years has it been since our master took the sect's disciples out on his own initiative?

Let alone ordinary disciples.

Even if the elders in the sect break through to the Great Dao and need to visit a certain Heavenly Dao, the Nether Emperor will at most just throw down a token.

Whether they can gain the approval of Heavenly Dao depends entirely on themselves.

The result is now.

Lu Qing'an had only been a member of the Nether Emperor Holy Sect for less than a day.

Master is actually planning to personally lead a group to see the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements?

This treatment.

This is beyond the explanation of a direct disciple.

But then I thought about it again.

Luo Qiushan thought it was quite normal.

If it were her, she would want to go too.

She was genuinely curious.

Just how outrageous will Lu Qing'an become after his breakthrough?!

"How?"

The Nether Emperor glanced at her.

"You have a problem with that?"

"No."

Luo Qiushan shook her head decisively.

I'll go too.

Nether Emperor: "..."

He knew it.

The Nether Emperor ignored his disciple and looked at Lu Qing'an again.

"I have some connections with the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements."

"Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements is quite different from other Heavenly Dao."

Lu Qing'an listened attentively.

He still attached great importance to these things that were truly related to breakthroughs in the Great Dao.

I may be strong, but...

It's still important to know the basic common sense.

Otherwise, if you go to someone else's territory and know nothing, you'll look a bit like a country bumpkin.

The Nether Emperor said, "Normally, one Great Dao corresponds to one Heavenly Dao."

"For example, the Great Dao of Lightning corresponds to the Heavenly Dao of Lightning."

"The Great Dao of Darkness corresponds to the Heavenly Dao of Darkness."

"The Great Dao of Cause and Effect also has its own Heavenly Dao of Cause and Effect."

"However, the five Great Dao —metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—have extremely unique relationships."

"The five Heavenly Dao have cultivated together since their inception, and their relationship with each other is excellent."

"So the five of them have lived in the same place for many years."

Lu Qing'an's eyes lit up.

That's good.

Solve five at once.

No need to travel back and forth.

The Nether Emperor seemed to have read his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Don't you think this is easier?"
