The Five Steps of Dao Integration!

The enormous black sphere that enveloped the eyeball did not last long before it developed numerous cracks.

Chen Feng showed no mercy with this punch.

This was his all-out attack after breaking through to the Void Refinement stage; even he himself didn't know how powerful it was.

Bang!

A sound like shattering glass rang out, and the black sphere covering the eyeball shattered.

The eyeball inside the black sphere reappeared in front of Chen Feng, its size reduced by three-tenths compared to before.

The light in his pupils had also dimmed considerably.

Seeing that his opponent had only shrunk a few inches after taking his punch, Chen Feng frowned.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly; this eyeball had definitely reached the level of Dao Integration!

Although Chen Feng didn't know exactly how terrifying his punch was.

But he has clearly surpassed the half-step into the Dao Integration stage; only a true Dao Integration being could withstand his punch!

Chen Feng was about to make another move when Yanqiu hurriedly said:

"Kid, you can't make another move. Look around first!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was stunned. He immediately spread his Divine Sense to cover the surrounding starry sky.

Then, his expression changed.

The surrounding scenery had completely changed. The starry sky, which had been as black as velvet, was now covered with dense spots of light.

The light spot gave him a sense of danger.

In particular, when his Divine Sense passed through the spot of light, he actually felt a slowing down, as if time itself had slowed down.

The sound came from the eyeball at that moment:

"The starry sky in this area has been completely destroyed. Now, apart from beings at the Dao Integration level, any other being that enters this area will not survive a single breath."

"Your power has already disrupted the space and Principle here. If you continue, it will soon affect the entire Underworld Continent!"

Chen Feng turned his head and looked at the eyeball. "Who are you?"

Although the eyeball made it sound very serious, Chen Feng wouldn't completely believe what it said.

What he wants to know now is who this person is and why they are here.

The eyeball didn't answer Chen Feng, but instead said with some shock:

"How exactly did you cultivate? In just two hundred years, you've achieved the combat power of the Dao Integration level?"

My eyes were truly blown away.

Actually, long ago, when Yanqiu was still in the Black Abyss of Canglan Star, he already knew about Chen Feng's terrifying cultivation talent.

But that's only the realm below the Spirit Transformation stage; no matter how fast it is, it's nothing special.

However, Chen Feng only took a little over a hundred years to go from the Spirit Transformation to his current Dao Integration level strength, which is truly terrifying.

Previously, when Chen Feng Chen Feng went into seclusion, everyone assumed that he was trying to break through to the Void Refinement stage.

No one expected Chen Feng to directly step into the Dao Integration level.

It's important to understand that starting from the Spirit Transformation, each advancement in a minor realm requires an unknown number of years.

Even her master took more than a thousand years to break through to the Void Refinement stage, yet she was already considered one of the most outstanding prodigies in the Nine Star Domains.

But the Chen Feng before them could not be described as a monster at all.

Even a reincarnated immortal shouldn't have this kind of cultivation speed.

At this moment, the eyes of the onlookers were surprisingly not opposed to their owner recognizing the other as his older brother.

He had previously been very resistant to Chen Feng. What kind of person was his master? How could he possibly acknowledge a junior Spirit Transformation stage as his older brother?

His thinking has now completely changed.

From their exchange just now, he could tell that Chen Feng already possessed the strength of the Dao Integration level.

Only those who have attained the Dao can possess such power, capable of damaging the very essence of a star field.

Although he knew that Chen Feng had mastered the power of the stars, even if he had mastered the power of the stars, it shouldn't be this terrifying.

Upon hearing the other party mention his combat strength, which had risen from a mortal to the Dao Integration level over two hundred years, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

If the other party can accurately know his specific cultivation time, then they are definitely not from the Dinghai Star Region.

And he felt that the eyeball was somewhat familiar.

As if sensing the killing intent emanating from Chen Feng, he quickly said, "We've met before! In the Black Abyss on Canglan Star, don't you remember?"

"It's you?" Chen Feng suddenly remembered the giant pupil he had seen in the Black Abyss a long time ago.

Although it doesn't quite match the eyeball in front of you, it does look very similar.

"How did you end up here? Where's Yinyin?" Chen Feng asked directly.

He had naturally guessed long ago that the pupils in the Black Abyss were related to Yin Yin.

The fact that this eyeball is now looking for him is likely related to Yin Yin, which greatly lessened Chen Feng's murderous intent.

"She's in some trouble, and I came here specifically to ask for your help." Seeing that Chen Feng didn't intend to take action, Eyeball breathed a sigh of relief.

"Trouble? What trouble?" Chen Feng stared blankly at Eyeball.

The eyeball then said:

"She's encountering problems in her cultivation. Only a spiritual artifact left behind by a True Immortal within the Immortal Realm Secret Realm can help her. As you probably know, the Immortal Realm Secret Realm restricts entry to beings at the Dao Integration level, so only you can help her!"

Eyeballs completely ignored Yinyin's instructions and directly told her what had happened.

In his view, since Chen Feng and Yin Yin had such a good relationship, he just needed to tell them what happened and then see Chen Feng's attitude.

If Chen Feng wants to help, then he will naturally help; otherwise, there's no point in saying anything else.

He had already realized that although Chen Feng possessed the strength of the Dao Integration Realm, he was actually still at the Void Refinement Realm, which met the requirements for entering the Immortal Realm Secret Realm.

"Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened?" Chen Feng stared at the eyeball.

The eyeball said:

"I can't tell you too much. I've already gone against her wishes by bringing this up with you. If I reveal everything about her, she definitely won't let me off the hook."

"Furthermore, the reason Canglan Star came to this star field was because she used a treasure to send her here. Her purpose was to let you enter the Immortal Realm Secret Realm, and the True Immortal inheritance within that secret realm will be of great help to you!"

After finishing speaking, Eyeball waited quietly for Chen Feng's reply.

He didn't know if Chen Feng would agree.

After hearing the explanation from the eyeball, Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.

He had been wondering who was behind the scheme to send Canglan Star to Dinghai Star Region, but he never expected it would be Yinyin.

"If she wanted to help, she could have just told me. Why go to all this trouble?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

Eyeball said helplessly, "Brother, don't you know who you are! If there were no crisis, would you leave Xingfeng Sect? Would you risk going to the Immortal Realm to seek fortuitous opportunity?"

"Neither she nor I expected that you would be able to establish yourself so quickly, even after arriving in the Dinghai Star Region."

Eyeball was truly helpless. The last time the Yin Corpse Sect and the Thunder Palace joined forces to attack the Xingfeng Sect, Yinyin had already informed him to prepare to secretly help.

But Chen Feng appeared at the crucial moment and single-handedly killed several Void Refinement cultivators.

This was completely unexpected for them.

Chen Feng was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Because what the other party said was indeed true; he had absolutely no intention of entering that so-called Immortal Realm.

As expected, Yin Yin understands him best.

The eyeball continued:

"Her original plan was to put Xingfeng Sect in a great crisis, so that you would be forced to enter the Immortal Realm to seek fortuitous opportunity. In the end, she secretly gave you the inheritance jade pendant, allowing you to enter the place of true immortal inheritance."

"But you resolved the crisis by killing those few Void Refinement cultivators last time, so there's no other way but for me to come and talk to you in person."

After learning the whole story, Chen Feng pondered for a moment before asking, "What about the True Immortal inheritance?"

If someone asked him to enter the Immortal Realm, Chen Feng would never agree.

But this concerns Yin Yin. From the tone of his voice, he could guess that the things within the True Immortal inheritance were probably very important to Yin Yin.

Chen Feng knew long ago that Yin Yin had secretly helped him and Xingfeng Sect overcome many crises.

Whatever his reasons, he had to go to this celestial realm.

Upon seeing Chen Feng inquire about the True Immortal's inheritance cave abode, his eyes immediately lit up.

"We don't know much about the True Immortal's inheritance, only that this True Immortal once mastered the power of the stars. Since you possess the power of the stars, you can definitely enter his inheritance site. Moreover, with your current strength, there should be virtually no danger there."

"After all, countless years have passed. Even if the immortal restrictions within the inheritance grounds still exist, they pose no great danger."

"What is it that she wants to retrieve?"

With a solemn expression, he said, "The Soul-Stabilizing Dew is inside that cave abode. Just one drop will suffice."

Then, the eyeball described in detail to Chen Feng what the Soul-Stabilizing Elixir looked like.

"I understand. I'll set off for the Immortal Realm tomorrow," Chen Feng said decisively.

Upon hearing this, the eyeball showed a puzzled expression:

"Go tomorrow? The Immortal Realm won't open for another thirty years, no rush."

They assumed Chen Feng didn't know when the Immortal Realm Secret Realm opened, so they emphasized it.

"I know, but I have a way to get in," Chen Feng said calmly.

"How is that possible! The Immortal Realm Secret Realm is part of the ancient Immortal Realm! Even a Dao Integration Realm expert would find it difficult to budge the slightest bit from its barrier!"

Eyeballs simply didn't believe Chen Feng's words.

Seeing this, Chen Feng was too lazy to explain. Others might not be able to enter the Immortal Realm Secret Realm, but he had no restrictions at all.

Because his scroll transmission had already covered the entire Dinghai Star Region.

The Immortal Realm Secret Realm is naturally included in it.

Although I haven't tried to teleport to the Immortal Realm Secret Realm, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Can you explain these light spots to me?

Chen Feng then asked.

He was curious about the spots of light around him, which clearly involved power at the Dao Integration level.

Upon hearing this, Eyeball immediately burst into laughter.

This kind of laughter is very strange, after all, it's just an eyeball.

When you laugh, you simply make an expression with your pupils.

"It's alright to tell you some things. You should already know that cultivators who have attained the Dao Fruit are beings who have mastered it."

Chen Feng nodded. "The Principle are perfected, transforming into the Dao Fruit."

Chen Feng only had a general understanding of the Dao Integration method; he didn't know the specifics.

With a serious expression, he said, "The Dao Fruit is the manifestation of the perfection of the Principle, and beings who reach this level are able to come into contact with the Void Realm."

"As for what the Void Realm is, you can imagine it as a special space separate from our existing world, where time and space are one. Only cultivators who have reached the Dao Integration Realm can enter that area, and there is basically no concept of the passage of time in that space."

"As for the phenomenon of these light spots appearing in the surrounding starry sky, it's because someone in the existing space has reached a level of Principle that can even obliterate the laws of space, directly revealing a part of the Void Realm. These light spots are a manifestation of that Void Realm."

"It's a bit complicated to explain, but simply put, your power was too great, directly disrupting the Principle of a certain region of this universe, causing that region to become unsustainable, thus revealing a hidden world."

As a modern person, Chen Feng immediately understood what the eyeball meant; the "realm of emptiness" the other party mentioned was very likely related to space and time.

However, he quickly thought of another problem, "No concept of the passage of time? Wouldn't Dao Integration cultivators be immortal?"

The eyeball immediately shook its head:

"Immortality? Even True Immortals wouldn't dare claim immortality. While Dao Integration cultivators can enter the Void Realm, it's incredibly dangerous. Even Dao Integration cultivators can only stay in safe zones. If they encounter spacetime turbulence, even a fifth-step Dao Integration expert would surely perish."

"Furthermore, after a cultivator enters the Dao Integration stage, they must undergo a personal tribulation every 30,000 years. If they succeed, their strength increases greatly; if they fail, they die and their Dao dissipates—there is no other possibility. There are a total of five personal tribulations, which is why the Dao Integration stage is also divided into five steps."

"Most Dao Integration cultivators nowadays reside within the Void Realm, because only they can prolong the time before their own tribulation arrives."

"The Five Steps to Dao Integration." Chen Feng immediately realized that cultivating immortality was becoming increasingly difficult as one progressed further.

How many people in the nine star regions have achieved the Dao Integration Realm?

Even powerful individuals of this caliber face a life-or-death crisis that occurs only once every tens of thousands of years, and in order to avoid this calamity, they may even hide in dangerous places like the Void Realm.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they're just barely clinging to life.

He finally understood why, despite the existence of Dao Integration experts in all nine star regions, none of them had ever failed to show themselves.

Clearly, they are all hiding in the Void Realm.

Chen Feng then looked at the eyeball; "Which step are you on?"

Eyeball, somewhat embarrassed, replied, "The first step!"

Being injured by Chen Feng before made Yanqiu feel very ashamed.

He had been at the Dao Integration stage for over 20,000 years, yet he had just been injured by someone who had cultivated for hundreds of years. He felt like he had wasted his life.

"Is this just the first step?" Chen Feng, somewhat disappointed.

He finally had a clear sense of his own strength; he was now roughly equivalent to a first-step Dao Integration expert.

"What? You look down on the first step? Do you know that the majority of Dao Integration cultivators in the Nine Star Domains are stuck at this level?"

The eyeballs were clearly somewhat dissatisfied.

Chen Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the eyeball:

Thank you for letting me know.

Chen Feng was very grateful that the other party could tell him about the Dao Integration Realm.

Seeing Chen Feng's sudden politeness, his expression softened, and he immediately said:

"Although your strength has reached the Dao Integration stage, your cultivation level is still only at the early stage of Void Refinement. Do not enter the Void Realm rashly unless absolutely necessary."

Chen Feng nodded:

I will remember that.

"Then I'll be going now. You can keep this." As soon as the eyeball finished speaking, space cracked open and a jade pendant flew to Chen Feng's front.

The jade pendant showed no signs of spiritual energy, but it was engraved with extremely unique symbols.

"This is a jade pendant of inheritance. Thirty years from now, when you enter the Immortal Realm's secret realm, you will be able to sense the location of the immortal's inheritance cave abode!"

After saying that, Eyeball prepared to leave.

Chen Feng stopped him, asking, "When will she see me?"

Her eyes paused for a moment before she said, "She will come to see you when you enter the Immortal Realm. Don't worry, with her there, those old guys won't dare to touch you."

After saying that, his eyeballs completely disappeared into the starry sky.

Watching the eyeball disappear, Chen Feng smiled helplessly:

"This little girl, why can't she just say it to my face? Why does she have to make such a scene?"

Chen Feng was also somewhat helpless towards Yin Yin. He had actually vaguely guessed what Yin Yin was thinking, which was simply that she was embarrassed.

He glanced at the jade pendant in his hand. "The immortal's inheritance cave abode, looks like I'll have to make a trip there."

Chen Feng wasn't worried about any danger. The scroll's teleportation range covered the entire Dinghai Star Region. If he encountered any danger in that Immortal Realm Secret Realm, he could simply teleport away.

Moreover, that immortal also possessed the power of the stars, which made Chen Feng very curious.

Chen Feng's original plan was to return to Earth directly to cultivate.

But for now, things have to be put on hold; it will be several years before the cultivators from the Haotian Secret Realm arrive.

That should be enough time to explore the secret realms of the immortals.

Chen Feng immediately prepared to return to the Underworld Continent, but just then...

He seemed to sense something and immediately looked towards the distant starry sky:

"Today is really lively. First, a Dao Integration Realm expert arrived, and now even a half-step Dao Integration Realm expert has come."
