Go with the Flow, Enter the Dao Realm!

At the summit of Lightning Mountain, within a magnificent Daoist palace.

Shan Li relayed his father's words to Shi Jian without missing a single one.

After listening, Shi Jian remained silent for a long time.

He sat upright on his throne, his purple-gold eyes flashing with an unpredictable, shimmering light.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast."

Shan Li walked to his side. "Father said that the Dao Realm is in chaos; the various clans' Earth Dao prodigies have been flocking in over the past two years, all wanting to devour the essence of Dao Venerable Liyuan."

She paused, then said, "Husband, this is no small matter; it concerns the very essence of Dao Venerable. The slightest mistake could result in the complete annihilation of one's soul and spirit."

Shi Jian turned to look at her. "Scared?"

"I'm not afraid," Shan Li shook his head. "It's just that I feel this game is too big; you and I are only at the Early Spirit Transformation and the Nascent Soul Perfection realm, yet we're about to be drawn into the struggle for the Dao Venerable Dao Fruit. This..."

"That's more interesting."

Shi Jian smiled, seemingly unconcerned.

"Cultivation is inherently a path of great contention; one should kill Nascent Soul when Nascent Soul Spirit Transformation, fight against other Nascent Spirit Transformation when one is at the Deity Transformation stage, and even contend for the Dao Venerable."

"Being a pawn that the adults want to use is better than being cannon fodder. At least as a pawn, my husband has the possibility of advancing further."

"To be a soldier is our honor."

"Thunder and rain are both blessings from Heaven. The adults want us to fight for them, to prove them. Is that something you and I, husband and wife, can decide?"

He raised his hand, and purple-gold lightning arcs pulsed in his palm.

"Don't you want to break through to the Spirit Transformation? The opportunity is right in front of you; as for danger, when hasn't it been dangerous along the way?"

Shan Li looked at him, a complex expression flashing in his vertical pupils.

This foolish bear is truly a born madman; what others would avoid at all costs becomes fortuitous opportunity in his eyes.

But she just happens to fall for that.

"Alright, then I'll go."

Shan Li grinned. "Anyway, it's a gamble with your life on the line, so might as well go for something big."

Shi Jian nodded, then asked, "Did my father-in-law say when we will set off?"

Three months later.

Shan Li took out the token from his robes. "The Ancestor Shanyue will personally lead the team, along with Cang Wuji from the Pale Bear Lineage; that old fellow is also in the Late Spirit Transformation, but he's cultivating a Ultimate Force Dao Fruit Immortal Foundation."

"Including my husband, there are three Nascent Spirit Transformation and fifty Enlightenment Nascent Soul; these are the first batch of pioneers of our clan to the Dao Realm."

Shi Jian frowned slightly. "Is that all?"

"Of course, that's not all."

Shan Li shook his head. "Father said that each branch will send people; however, they will enter in batches to avoid making too much noise and attracting the attention of those old monsters in the Dao Realm."

She paused, then continued, "Moreover, the Dao Realm already has various clans making arrangements; although our clan has no territory, we have some vassal clans; when the time comes, you and I can use those smaller clans as our foundation and gradually make our move."

Shi Jian remained silent for a moment, then turned and walked into the hall.

"In that case, we'll wait another three months over there."

He sat cross-legged on the futon, and purple-gold lightning arcs suddenly surged around his body.

Seeing this, Shan Li said no more and turned to leave.

She knew that once this foolish bear made up his mind, not even nine oxen could pull him back; therefore, she had to hurry up and prepare.

The struggle for the Treasured Earth Dao Fruit is no joke.

Shan Li naturally wouldn't go directly to the Treasured Earth, but rather take this opportunity to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, with the goal of reaching the Spirit Transformation Extreme Stage.

The one who attained the fruition was the Peak Mountain Emperor Lord, and only He could attain it first; only by incorporating His fruition into the ranks could a new position be made available.

What Shan Li needs to do is prepare and wait for this vacancy.

But those three months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Ancestral Giant Bear Ancestral Court, Main Peak Hall.

When Shi Jian and Shan Li landed, several figures were already waiting in the hall.

The leading figure was none other than Shan Yue; his Earth Dao aura was so solid that the pressure of his Late Spirit Transformation caused the entire hall to tremble slightly.

The other was a giant bear with a completely azure body; the bear demon was extremely burly, with muscles bulging like mountains all over its body, and was none other than Cang Wuji, the patriarch of the Pale Bear Lineage.

Late Spirit Transformation realm, cultivating a foundation of immortality below the Ultimate Force Dao Fruit Immortal Foundation.

In addition, there were fifty Nascent Soul; all of them were elites selected from various lineages, and most of them cultivated the Earth Dao Immortal Foundation.

Upon seeing Shi Jian arrive, Shan Yue said, "Now that everyone is here, let's set off."

He raised his hand, and a beam of mysterious light shot out from his palm, tearing open a huge void rift in mid-air; within the rift, the Earth Dao energy surged, and the scene of another world could be faintly seen.

"The entrance to the Dao Realm has long been opened; please follow me."

Having said that, the Shan Yue was the first to step into the crevice.

Cang Wuji followed closely behind, and the fifty Nascent Soul also transformed into light and entered.

Shi Jian and Shan Li exchanged a glance, then stepped inside side by side.

Within the void rift, spatial turbulence surged wildly; however, under the suppression of the Earth Dao energy of the Shan Yue, these turbulences were like docile lambs, daring not to cause any trouble.

I don't know how much time passed.

Suddenly, a blinding white light appeared ahead.

Shi Jian narrowed his vertical pupils, and the next moment he felt a lightness all over his body; his feet were firmly planted, and he had landed in another world.

Look up.

Above the sky, seven great suns of different colors hung; those suns exuded an extremely rich Daoist aura, Tongming the entire world.

On the ground, there were endless mountain ranges; those mountains were entirely black, their surfaces covered with dense patterns, as if they were slowly wriggling like living things.

An extremely ancient aura permeated the entire world.

This is the Dao Realm.

The Shan Yue stood before the crowd and said in a deep voice, "This place is the edge of the Dao Realm, tens of millions of miles away from the territory of Dao Venerable Liyuan."

He paused, then continued, "However, the journey will not be peaceful; geniuses from all races in the Dao Realm have gathered here, all vying for a share of the Treasured Earth's origin; you must be careful and not be careless."

The words had barely left his mouth.

Several figures rapidly approached from the distant horizon.

Those auras were extremely powerful, all belonging to the Spirit Transformation stage; moreover, their auras were very mixed, clearly indicating they were not from the same race.

Shan Yue's face darkened. "They've arrived quickly."

Cang Wuji stretched his limbs, his bones cracking with a series of popping sounds. "Whoever they are, if they dare to come, I'll kill them."

Shi Jian remained silent, but the purple-gold lightning arcs around his body flickered slightly.

Those auras drew closer and closer, then stopped a few miles away in an instant; the leader was a giant crimson python with a Middle Spirit Transformation, its body surging with Fire Dao energy.

The giant python stared at Shan Yue and the others, a hint of fear flashing in its vertical pupils.

"The Giant Bear Clan? They arrived quickly."

Shan Yue's expression softened slightly as he said, "The Crimson Scale Clan, I never expected that you would be the first ones I encountered. Does your clan also intend to interfere in the struggle for the Treasured Earth?"

The crimson python sneered, "Everyone in the world is driven by profit; who wouldn't want a piece of the pie? But do you think everyone wants a share?"

"I'm only doing this on Lord Kui Lang's orders; otherwise, I'd be a fool to come here and die."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Shi Jian and the others before settling on Shi Jian.

"Is this the newly promoted Nascent Spirit Transformation from the Lightning Bear Line of the noble family?"

Shi Jian raised his eyes, and lightning surged within his purple-gold vertical pupils.

"So what if it is?"

The crimson python bared its fangs. "I've long admired your name. Rest assured, we are friends, not enemies. Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such vigilance."

"As fellow members of the Beast Realm, we should join forces to fight against those alien races when we're out there."

"I don't want to start by getting myself bloodied and battered by my own people."
