All Five Daos Open at Once!!!

Billions of golden blades descended from the sky.

In that instant.

The entire golden world was filled with sharp edges.

There are no gaps.

There are no blind spots.

Each blade contains the purest Rule of Metal.

No.

It can no longer be simply described as rules.

These golden blades also contained a very faint aura of the Great Dao.

Lu Qing'an only needed one glance to understand the true difficulty of this test.

Not quantity.

Rather, each attack is at a level that just exceeds the limits of the ordinary Eternal Realm.

As long as one of them actually lands on you.

Neither of them will feel good.

And now.

Hundreds of millions.

Let's come down together.

No wonder the Heavenly Dao of the Five Elements said that the trials of the Great Dao are no joke.

Now, let's have someone who has just mastered the Rule of Metal enter.

The first hurdle alone could probably take hundreds or even thousands of years to overcome.

Lu Qing'an raised his head.

I thought about it.

He didn't dodge.

They also did not use the system to extract cultivation points.

He came here to break through.

I'm not here to cause trouble.

Normal test.

It's better to stay normal.

The next moment.

A faint golden light slowly emerged from the surface of his body.

The Rule of Metal.

Perfect!

at the same time.

The countless golden blades of the heavens have fallen!

Rumble!!!

The first wave of golden blades struck Lu Qing'an.

It actually exploded!

Countless golden rays burst forth in all directions like raindrops.

Lu Qing'an's robes swayed gently.

But the person stood still.

They didn't retreat even a single step.

The second batch.

The third batch.

The fourth batch!

More and more golden blades fell.

The whole world resounded with a continuous clang of metal.

The area within several dozen feet around Lu Qing'an was completely engulfed by golden light.

No matter how many attacks there are.

The figure standing in the very center remained motionless.

A moment later.

Lu Qing'an was even somewhat puzzled.

"Ten Thousand Blades Pierce the Body..."

So you're telling me to get beaten up?

No one answered.

The trials of Heavenly Dao are not places where you can chat with someone.

Lu Qing'an waited a while longer.

It was discovered that, apart from increasing in number, the golden blades seemed to remain unchanged.

He thought about it.

So I simply sat down cross-legged.

Since that's the case.

Then we'll just wait.

The Five Elements Heavenly Domain.

Beyond the five-colored vortex.

Heavenly Dao of Metal's brows furrowed.

The other Heavenly Dao were also able to see clearly what was happening inside the trial.

The Heavenly Dao of Fire crossed his arms.

"Isn't this kid having it a little too easy?"

Heavenly Dao of Metal remained silent.

It's more than just easy.

The first test, "Ten Thousand Blades Pierce the Body," is not about actually having the examinee physically withstand the impact.

Instead, it allows people to perceive the most essential sharpness of the Great Dao of Metal from among countless golden blades.

Each attack will vary depending on the examinee's mastery of the Rule of Metal.

The deeper the understanding.

The less damage you receive.

When a normal person first enters, even if the rules are perfect, they will be beaten until they are covered in dust and dirt.

Then gradually adapt.

Finally, the true "sharpness" of the Great Dao of Metal was found.

That's it, you've passed the test.

But Lu Qing'an is different.

As soon as I went inside...

It's fine if you're standing.

Now he's even sitting down.

Heavenly Dao of Wood couldn't help but ask, "Did you lower the difficulty?"

Heavenly Dao of Metal's face darkened.

"No."

"Then why is he acting like nothing's wrong?"

You're asking me? Who should I ask?

Heavenly Dao of Metal was also somewhat irritated.

He raised his hand.

A golden light flew out from the fingertip.

It disappeared into the five-colored vortex.

A test of internal capabilities.

The golden blade, which had been falling wildly, suddenly paused for a moment.

Lu Qing'an raised his head.

"It's over?"

The next moment.

The golden blades suddenly changed.

Each blade now has an extra layer of extremely fine gold veins on its surface.

The aura surged instantly!

If what just happened was just a normal test...

Now.

The difficulty has at least tripled!

Lu Qing'an's eyes lit up slightly.

Finally, things are starting to change.

The massive golden blade fell once more.

Boom!!!

This time.

The protective golden light surrounding Lu Qing'an finally rippled noticeably.

He glanced down.

"That's more like it."

Outside the five-colored vortex.

Heavenly Dao of Metal: "..."

The Heavenly Dao of Fire couldn't hold back.

Did he just say, "That's more like it"?

The Heavenly Dao of Water nodded.

"I said so."

The Heavenly Dao of Earth remained silent for a moment.

"Add more?"

Heavenly Dao of Metal's lips twitched.

"Add more!"

Another golden light flew in.

A test of internal capabilities.

The immense golden blade has changed once again.

Second upgrade.

The third upgrade.

Fourth upgrade!

In the end.

Those sharp blades were no longer like ordinary weapons.

Instead, they were pure, sharp rays formed from the Great Dao Origin of Metal.

Any one of these would fall upon an ordinary Eternal Realm cultivator.

Both are enough to cut the opponent in two.

Lu Qing'an finally stopped sitting.

He stood up.

"Is this about the end?"

Still no one answered.

Lu Qing'an was too lazy to wait.

Since this level tests one's understanding of the Rule of Metal.

That's the simplest method.

Of course it is...

I broke them all.

Lu Qing'an raised his right hand.

The five fingers slowly spread open.

The next moment.

The golden light that had been enveloping his body suddenly expanded!

It is also Rule of Metal.

It is also the ultimate in perfection.

But when it was released from Lu Qing'an, it suddenly gave off an extremely strange sense of control.

The golden blades raining down from all sides paused slightly.

Lu Qing'an clenched his five fingers.

"Disperse."

One word.

Boom!!!

Millions of golden blades shattered simultaneously!

Countless golden rays exploded out like stars filling the sky.

The entire golden world shone brightest at that moment.

The next moment.

The shattered golden light did not dissipate.

Instead, they began to converge frantically on Lu Qing'an!

A wisp.

Ten strands.

A thousand strands.

Countless strands!

at last.

A fist-sized ball of golden light condensed in front of him.

At the center of the ball of light.

An extremely ancient rune is slowly taking shape.

Lu Qing'an looked at this thing.

A thought struck me.

Is this the Great Dao Sacred Origin?

But before he could even reach out...

Suddenly, the world before our eyes cracked open!

The golden world vanished.

An endless green forest instantly took its place.

Lu Qing'an stood in the center of the forest.

Ancient trees tower all around.

Each tree was incredibly large.

Its root system coils across the earth like a giant python.

The branches and leaves obscure the sky.

The next moment.

A voice slowly rang out.

"The Trial of Wood."

"First stage."

"Birth and death."

Lu Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's finally been changed.

He thought that the so-called simultaneous opening of the five paths would really mean that five kinds of trials would come down at once.

Now it seems...

Five trials began simultaneously.

But after entering...

It's still layer upon layer.

That's fine.

To avoid chaos.

Just then...

The towering ancient trees all around suddenly withered.

The leaves are turning yellow.

The branches and trunk are rotten.

In just a few breaths.

The entire forest transformed from a vibrant, thriving place into a desolate, barren wasteland.

Immediately afterwards.

The withered ancient trees quickly sprouted new buds again.

The leaves are regrowing.

bloom.

result.

Then it withers again.

born.

die.

born.

die.

The cycle continues.

Lu Qing'an watched for a while.

I understood quickly.

This is not a test of taking a beating.

Rather, it's about understanding.

The simplest understanding of the Rule of Wood is vitality.

But it truly reaches the level of the Great Dao.

Wood.

It's not simply about being born.

When vitality comes to an end, it leads to decay.

When decline reaches its extreme, new life will emerge.

One withers, the other flourishes.

It's all the same thing.

Lu Qing'an looked at the ancient forest around him, which was constantly being reborn and dying.

It only took less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

A look of understanding appeared on his face.

"I see."

He raised his hand.

A wisp of azure power descended into an ancient tree that had completely withered in front of them.

The next moment.

The tender buds broke through the charred black bark.

Rapid growth.

soon.

The tree has regained its lush foliage.

But Lu Qing'an didn't stop.

Gently turn your palm over.

The ancient tree, which had just regained its vitality, withered and died completely in an instant.

Turn it over again.

regeneration.

Die again.

Repeat this three times.

The entire blue world suddenly fell silent.

The next moment.

Boom!

Countless ancient trees simultaneously burst forth with a dazzling blue light!

The second prototype of the Great Dao Sacred Origin.

Begin to coalesce!

Beyond the Five Elements Heavenly Domain.

The expression on Heavenly Dao of Wood's face had changed.

"How long?"

The Heavenly Dao of Water said, "Not even half an incense stick's time."

Heavenly Dao of Fire raised its eyebrows.

"During the Trial of Metal, Old Jin deliberately added four more difficulty levels."

"The result didn't take long."

Heavenly Dao of Metal's face darkened.

What does "intentionally" mean?

"Tests can be adjusted according to the situation!"

"Okay, okay."

The Heavenly Dao of Fire waved its hand.

Whatever you say goes.

Heavenly Dao of Metal was too lazy to bother with him.

But the shock in my heart was no less.

That's too fast.

The trials of the Great Dao cannot be overcome simply by having superior strength.

The most important thing is "enlightenment".

Especially elevating rules to Great Dao.

The difference lies in that one crucial qualitative change.

Many people are not stuck on power.

It's about understanding.

But Lu Qing'an...

It feels like they already knew the answer.

You only need to see it with your own eyes once.

Will you understand immediately?

The Nether Emperor stood to one side.

He didn't say a word from beginning to end.

But in those dark eyes, interest grew stronger.

"That's interesting."

Luo Qiushan smiled and said, "Master, this is only the second one."

There are three more after that.

The Nether Emperor said calmly, "I can see it."

Luo Qiushan: "..."

All right.

That's all.

Xu Qingying, however, watched with exceptional focus.

The Trial of Wood.

That's exactly what she'll be going through later.

She had memorized all of Lu Qing'an's methods for handling the changes of birth and death.

Especially the moment Lu Qing'an completed the test.

An extremely pure essence of the Dao of Wood emanated from the five-colored vortex.

Xu Qingying's body trembled slightly.

The perfect Rule of Wood within his body actually began to operate on its own!

Her eyes lit up instantly.

It really works!

And the effect was even better than Master had described!

She just stood outside and watched.

The previously blurred barrier between the Rule of Wood and the Great Dao has actually thinned slightly.

Xu Qingying took a deep breath.

Their gaze fell upon the vortex once more.

This time.

There were no distracting thoughts.

Only by being serious.

The scene before Lu Qing'an changed once again.

The blue forest disappeared.

Instead, it took its place.

It was a boundless expanse of water.

There is no sky.

There is no land.

Up, down, left, and right.

It's all water.

Lu Qing'an was suspended in the water.

Yet there was no feeling of suffocation.

The next moment.

A terrifying pressure suddenly descended.

Boom!

Lu Qing'an's body suddenly sank.

"The Test of Water."

"Weak water has no form."

The sound faded.

The surrounding water flow suddenly changed.

It was as gentle as a breeze.

Then it felt as heavy as a million mountains pressing down at once.

Sometimes cold.

Sometimes scorching hot.

Sometimes they converge.

They sometimes disperse.

Lu Qing'an quickly understood.

water.

It has no fixed shape.

When placed inside a cup, it takes on the shape of the cup.

Falling into the sea means entering an endless ocean.

She looks delicate.

But even water dripping can wear away stone.

It appears to be invisible.

It can also support all things.

Lu Qing'an closed his eyes.

It did not resist the surrounding water flow.

Instead, it allows you to completely relax your body.

Let the water carry you along.

left.

To the right.

sink.

Rise.

At the beginning.

He was simply propelled by the water.

You can do it slowly.

His body seemed to truly merge into the water.

In the end.

It's no longer clear whether it's the water moving or not.

He's still the one moving.

At a certain moment.

Lu Qing'an opened her eyes.

Water has no fixed shape.

"Adapt to the changing circumstances."

"Yet, with the softest body, it can break through the world's hardest barrier."

The words had barely left his mouth.

The endless waters suddenly came to a standstill.

The third prototype of the Great Dao Sacred Origin has appeared.

This time.

No one spoke Five Elements Heavenly Domain.

Because I didn't know what else to say.

Too fast.

That's way too fast.

The Heavenly Dao of Fire crossed his arms.

He looked defiant.

The first three are all more about insight.

"It won't be so easy with me."

Heavenly Dao of Metal glanced at him.

You'd better not make it too difficult.

The Heavenly Dao of Fire sneered.

"Am I that kind of person?"

All four Heavenly Dao were watching him simultaneously.

Heavenly Dao of Fire: "..."

What's the meaning?

Nobody believes me?

The next moment.

The water in front of Lu Qing'an disappeared.

The intense heat hit me!

Boom!!!

An endless sea of fire completely engulfed the heavens and the earth!

Lu Qing'an had just regained his footing.

A pillar of fire, ten thousand feet in diameter, roared into the sky from beneath their feet!

He was instantly engulfed in flames.

Outside.

Heavenly Dao of Metal's face instantly darkened.

"You didn't add it?"

The Heavenly Dao of Fire glanced away.

"I added a little."

"How many?"

"Three times."

"..."

Heavenly Dao of Wood rubbed his temples.

"Aren't you really afraid that the Nether Emperor will beat you up later?"

The Heavenly Dao of Fire glanced at the Nether Emperor.

The Nether Emperor was calmly watching him.

Heavenly Dao of Fire coughed lightly.

"It's a test."

"Being stricter is for the good of young people."

The Nether Emperor nodded.

That makes sense.

Heavenly Dao of Fire breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment.

The Nether Emperor added casually.

"Talk to him yourself after he comes out."

Heavenly Dao of Fire: "..."

In a sea of fire.

Lu Qing'an slowly lowered his head.

I looked at the clothes I was wearing.

fine.

Now look at the hair.

It didn't burn.

Needless to say, the body as well.

It's even a little warm.

"This temperature?"

Lu Qing'an frowned.

Heavenly Dao of Fire: "..."

I heard you.

I definitely heard it!
