Chapter 1074: Dao Struggle

"This painting scroll, although I can open a thread of it with all my strength, the coverage range is only a thousand miles..."

In the Li family forbidden area, Li Mengtu narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and waved, and the painting scroll in his hand flew out, floating above his head.

It did not unfold, but emitted soft light, sprinkling on Li Mengtu, blessing him.

This painting scroll, in the case of not unfolding, also has miraculous effects, can make the holder's heart clear, and has no small help for enlightenment, so he carried it with him.

It was also the trump card he prepared for this sprint.

Combined with the nine thousand high towers of the Li family, his comprehension instantly improved.

"Originally prepared to be used later, but now... can only be advanced!"

Li Mengtu took a deep breath. He knew very well that this inheritance specified by his master for him was a bit different from the other three major areas.

This inheritance is special, possesses uniqueness, and only one person can obtain it!

If the enlightenment is dispersed, then both sides cannot truly master it.

"No matter who this person is, this kind of behavior is already Dao struggle."

"Even if there was no enmity before, but now... it is also irreconcilable!"

Thinking of this, Li Mengtu's eyes shone with brilliant light, as if countless ancient runes were shining inside, looking at the inheritance flower in the sky, the sense of epiphany rose in his heart.

The fourth petal on his eyebrows was also completed instantly, and then the fifth petal was also gathering rapidly.

He needed to fight for more, gain an advantage, and then he would leave this place to find the person who was fighting for the Dao with him.

Take back his inheritance!

And the only way to take it back is one.

Kill!

Thinking of this, Li Mengtu did not overthink, immersed himself in enlightenment with all his heart, and with the help of nine thousand high towers and the mysterious painting scroll of the family, his own comprehension advanced by leaps and bounds.

Soon, the fifth petal on his eyebrows appeared! But in the sky, of the original twelve petals, four remained at this moment.

But the next instant... one was missing, and only three existed!

That missing petal appeared on the eyebrows of Xu Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on Main Dao Cliff!

At the center of his eyebrows, four petals rotated, the Dao of grass and trees flowed in Xu Qing's heart, and his understanding of the toxicity in this inheritance flower also continued to rise as he verified them one by one.

His hands were also instinctively raised, forming seals in front of him, and illusory herbs were woven out by him, circling each other, sometimes merging, sometimes separating.

Just like this, time passed again.

A stick of incense later.

On Xu Qing's eyebrows, the fifth petal appeared abruptly.

It was just at the same time, far in the east, Li Mengtu on the high tower of the Li family forbidden area, the sixth petal on his eyebrows also formed.

At this moment, the sky, the inheritance flower had become completely blurry, vaguely visible that only one petal remained!

So instantly, two red threads spread from the only remaining petal in the sky, one fell on Main Dao Cliff, and one fell on the Li family forbidden area.

Xu Qing and Li Mengtu, separated by an endless range, fought for it at the same time.

Both sides were very fast. At this moment, relying on their respective methods of enlightenment and absorption, the only petal was also dissipating rapidly.

Half a stick of incense later, a thunder that spread through the entire Western Region star domain roared and echoed.

The inheritance flower of the firmament disappeared completely.

With the disappearance, the pitch black of the sky gradually dissipated, and the hidden crimson aurora began to reappear.

This scene fell into the eyes of others holding tokens in the Western Region, and they understood that the inheritance... was over.

"This inheritance link does not give others any chance to comprehend at all. I think only that Li Mengtu has this qualification."

"Let everyone know it tacitly, why say more? This inheritance was originally prepared for him. The other three sides are also like this, just with one more layer of fig leaf."

"This is the hierarchy, we have no way."

"Hey, can't say, can't say."

Bursts of complex discussions appeared in the Western Region, and at this time, the light emitted by the nine thousand high towers of the Li family forbidden area gradually dimmed. Finally, when

Between his brows, there are, shockingly, six and a half petals!

Six petals are complete; as for the extra half, it is the seventh petal that has not yet formed.

At this moment, it is blurred, appearing to have only reached fifty percent completion.

Standing there, he raised his hand to touch the space between his brows.

An intent of solemn slaughter erupted from him, shrouding all directions and causing the surrounding heavens and earth to freeze over.

Black snowflakes appeared out of thin air, scattering all around.

"Then I shall see, who... exactly you are!"

Li Mengtu's eyes burned with intense killing intent; in this entire Western Region, as the only Star here, he was confident that no one among his peers was his match.

Even if he encountered the combat power of a late-stage Sovereign, he had the ability to seal and slay them using his family's heirloom treasures.

Thinking of this, Li Mengtu's body flickered, the sky shattered as if about to collapse, and his figure displayed terrifying might, swirling with vast momentum and whipping up cold winds as he rushed abruptly toward the direction of Main Dao Cliff.

There was no need for a teleportation array.

Although the distance from here to Main Dao Cliff was extremely vast, as a Star and a disciple of the Lower Immortal, he possessed too many treasures.

Among them was one that allowed him to perform large-scale teleportation by borrowing its power without needing to reach an ancient teleportation array in person.

And at the same time he rushed toward Main Dao Cliff, Xu Qing's eyes on the cliff also abruptly opened.

Between his brows, five and a half petals were currently rotating.

A sense of enlightenment emerged in his heart, followed by an intense crisis of life and death.

This sense of crisis made Xu Qing sigh inwardly.

This matter was within his expectations.

The moment he saw a silk thread from the inheritance flower in the sky extending toward the east during his enlightenment, he understood that this competition would, in all likelihood, involve slaughter once the enlightenment phase ended.

As for the identity of the other party, he had also guessed it with high accuracy.

"There are only two silk threads in the entire Western Region, which means there are only two people who have achieved enlightenment."

"Others clearly could not achieve enlightenment and could not see the flower in the sky, which represents... that enlightenment requires certain conditions."

"These conditions are not possessed by others, and although I do not know why I possess them myself,"

"My existence must be an accident to that person."

"Based on this, the person's identity... is already very clear; he is..."

"The only Star in the Western Region among the eight great Stars of this generation in the Fifth Star Ring, Li Mengtu!"

Xu Qing stood up, his mind recalling the records about Li Mengtu that he had seen from the map information.

"Li Mengtu, born into the Li family, later joined the Dao Immortal Sect, with his master being the Dao Immortal Sect's Inspector of the World, the Lower Immortal."

"His family grew from its original decline to become powerful due to his rise, and this family has a characteristic: all direct descendants have the character 'Tu' (Earth) in their names."

"As for his cultivation, although he is only at the early stage of a Sovereign, he possesses four authorities, and his own combat power, combined with the bizarre techniques inherited from his family and the cultivation from his master, has a record of slaying mid-stage Sovereigns."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes; this information was not the latest, so it could only serve as a reference and could not be fully trusted.

It was likely that the reality was surely more severe than what the information recorded.

Xu Qing fell silent, and after gazing into the distance, his eyes revealed decisiveness.

Since he had obtained this inheritance, it was naturally impossible to give it up because of danger.

In the contention for the Great Dao, once one gives up, it is equivalent to falling behind.

Falling behind by one step leads to falling behind in every step.

Thus, Xu Qing took a deep breath, his body flickered, and he moved away in an instant.

He did not choose to stay here.

As a Star, the opponent must have numerous trump cards, and his combat power must have outstanding aspects.

Facing such an opponent, even setting up defenses here would not be very effective.

"If I can form my own eighth pole..."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, speeding at full capacity across the sky toward the nearest ancient teleportation array.

The place he was going to was the God Blood River.

"That place is the best battlefield!"

"If I win, that is naturally best; if I lose, I also have a choice to escape."

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's speed increased, creating vast ripples in the sky with a whistling rainbow.

Several days later.

On Main Dao Cliff, the sky suddenly roared, and a black giant hand appeared abruptly, obscuring even the aurora and plunging the surroundings into pitch darkness.

While the few cultivators on this cliff were terrified, a figure stepped out from within the black giant hand.

A black robe, black hair, an indifferent expression, and the six and a half petals between his brows—it was indeed Li Mengtu.

His gaze swept over the spot where Xu Qing had been meditating, and he spoke indifferently.

"Binding Order, ask the wind!"

"What is the cultivation level of the cultivator here?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and grabbed, and immediately the wind rose all around, gathering into an illusory figure.

"Binding Order, ask the heavens!"

"What kind of authority does the cultivator here possess?"

The words echoed, and the sky rippled, gathering into a spirit.

"Binding Order, ask the laws!"

"Where has the cultivator here gone!"

The laws descended, gathering into an eye.

It formed a mysterious existence, gazing at Li Mengtu.

The Dao sound arose accordingly.

"Cultivation is Spirit-Containing, authority is nine, Five Elements as the base, time and space on the sides, containing erasure and bizarreness, combat power is mid-stage Sovereign, gone to the south!"

As soon as this voice emerged, Li Mengtu's eyes suddenly burst with sharp light.

"This kind of existence..."

He was silent for a moment, and when he looked into the distance again, the killing intent was even more intense at this moment.

Then, with a flicker, he whistled toward the south, while simultaneously unleashing the full sensing range of his Immortal Capital token.

Wherever he passed, whenever he detected a light point, he would instantly approach and investigate.

If there were an eye that could overlook the entire Western Region, one could clearly see that as Li Mengtu pursued, the distance between him and Xu Qing was shrinking rapidly.

Getting closer and closer!

At the same time, within the Dao Immortal Sect of the Western Region, on the fertile fields planted with flowers and plants, the Poison Monarch, looking like an old farmer, was still watering the two poisonous herbs in front of him with Nine Heavens Immortal Liquid.

It formed a mysterious existence, gazing at Li Mengtu.

These two poisonous herbs were now more spiritually potent than before, and they were intertwining to obtain more nutrients.

Each unfolded its poisonous thorns, piercing into the other's body.

Intertwined, they devoured each other.

Watching this scene, a smile appeared on the Poison Monarch's face.

"It doesn't matter which one dies; the one who ultimately receives my inheritance will be my karma."
