Chapter 455: Great Dao Aura [Two-in-one, seeking monthly votes!!]

"The Great Dao of Water?"

Li Rui looked at the magnificent phenomena around the Dao Embryo infant, which contained the rivers and lakes of the world, and even the majestic four seas, and thought to himself.

Correct.

What he had comprehended was precisely the Great Dao of Water.

Water nourishes all things; those who comprehend the Great Dao of Water have a temperament that is upright, peaceful, and inclusive of all things.

Although the Great Dao does not distinguish between high and low, the wonderful uses of the Great Dao of Water are infinite, both offensive and defensive; it is an extremely good Great Dao.

Regarding this.

Li Rui actually had guesses long ago.

All along.

His qi form was dragon-shaped, and later, when he first came into contact with immortal techniques, he also started cultivating from water techniques.

The choice of the Great Dao always had traces to follow.

Dragons are water-affiliated, and he himself was the same.

Therefore, comprehending the Great Dao of Water was almost an inevitable matter.

Li Rui sensed carefully.

His heart was burning with excitement.

He still remembered the methods of the Heavenly Ox Toad; they were truly profound.

Now that he had also comprehended the Great Dao of Water, it meant that he would also be able to display those methods in the future.

But soon.

Li Rui discovered something unusual.

He saw that whether it was the rivers or the vast seas, there was actually a divine tree standing upon them, unmoving, its leaves fluttering, adding a touch of vitality to the boundless water.

Li Rui narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Is it the Water-Wood Union of Dao?"

The Union of Dao, although rare, was not non-existent.

In fact.

It was rumored that Gu Gu Changsheng was a Union of Dao.

He searched for a long time among the Great Daos he understood, and finally determined that what he had comprehended was the Dao of Qingxuan.

In the Immortal Cultivation World.

There was also the saying of the Qing Emperor Great Dao.

It was precisely because of this that there once existed an existence who reached the supreme, self-styled Qing Emperor, who walked the same Great Dao as Li Rui now.

That Qing Emperor suppressed an era with the Qingxuan Great Dao, so the Qingxuan Great Dao had a great reputation in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Disciples who comprehended the Qingxuan Great Dao were all treasures of the Immortal Sects.

Water nourishes all things, withered wood meets spring.

Combined, the effect was naturally extraordinary.

Water generates wood, wood retains water, circulating endlessly; it was a good harmonious Great Dao.

Li Rui had heard.

Some Unions of Dao were naturally mutually exclusive, canceling each other out.

To cultivate them successfully, the effort required would be several times that of an ordinary Great Dao.

Li Rui's Qingxuan Dao naturally did not have those troubles.

Even because water and wood generate each other, it was easier to walk than a single Great Dao of Water.

And with that Qing Emperor before him, the future naturally did not need to be mentioned.

Comprehending the Qingxuan Great Dao meant that Li Rui had already stepped half a foot into the Heavenly Phenomenon; with just a little time to stabilize, he would be a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm expert for sure.

He thought it should be the Wan Gu Chang Qing Gong he cultivated, which, through long-term accumulation, had silently changed his comprehension of the Great Dao.

That was why he had mistakenly created the Qingxuan Dao.

Thinking of this, even Li Rui's temperament could not help but fluctuate.

Heavenly Phenomenon.

These two words were too heavy.

There were only a hundred or so Heavenly Phenomena in the world; they were first-class existences.

Li Rui had only cultivated for thirty years, yet he was about to step into this extremely high realm.

How could he not be dazed?

This speed was even faster than Yuan Yuan Dingting, who broke through the realm the fastest in the world.

Li Rui quickly collected his mood.

Breaking through quickly was not necessarily a good thing; obtaining the Dao fruit was difficult, but guarding the Dao fruit was even harder.

Don't look at those great figures being glorious.

But if one is not careful, one will still fall into a place of eternal damnation.

Si Feng was strong enough, right?

Yet he was still imprisoned in the Black Prison of the capital.

As long as there were still enemies in the world, being careful would never be wrong.

Those who advanced bravely and swept across the four directions without dying were mostly just because their luck was too good.

And Li Rui... never liked to gamble.

His thoughts converged.

Li Rui slowly stood up, preparing to return to Qinghe.

But just as he stood up, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

Because he discovered that he seemed to have forgotten one thing.

This Great Dao seemed to be the Dao of the Dao Embryo, not his own Dao.

Correct.

Although the Dao Embryo and he were one, there was ultimately a difference.

Ordinary Heavenly Phenomenon Realm experts gestated Spirit Embryos, but Spirit Embryos could not bear the Dao, so almost all experts in the world could only comprehend one Great Dao.

But Li Rui was different.

Dao Embryo, Dao Embryo, the name contained the word "Dao," so it was naturally born for the Great Dao.

Naturally, it could bear the Great Dao.

But the Dao borne by the Dao Embryo was only one; Li Rui had not yet comprehended his own Dao.

"Which means to say... I can comprehend two Great Daos?!"

Thinking of this.

Li Rui's heart thumped wildly.

Two Great Daos!

He knew too well what this represented.

Li Rui only felt his throat dry; he swallowed his saliva.

"I've found a treasure!"

His heart was filled with wild joy.

The gold content of the Dao Embryo was still rising!

As for whether all Dao Embryos could comprehend two Great Daos, or if it was because his Dao Embryo was upgraded to a Primordial Immortal Martial Dao Embryo that he had such good fortune, that was unknown.

After all, there were too few records about Dao Embryos; most of the time, they were just a few strokes.

Such a top-secret matter as comprehending several Great Daos was even more impossible to know easily.

Li Rui calmed down.

There was still about a year before truly breaking through to the Heavenly Phenomenon; he still had time to think.

Because once he stepped into the Heavenly Phenomenon, the Great Dao would be set.

It could not be changed again.

This was also the reason why the Heavenly Ox Toad and the spirit of the Master Wanshou Daoist had both said that one must be cautious when choosing the Great Dao during the Below Tongxuan stage.

Li Rui put away his thoughts.

Then he withdrew the great array.

When he walked out of the mountain cave, the sky was completely dark; it was already late at night.

He felt as if a lifetime had passed.

Li Rui naturally understood that he could not have only spent one day.

Just as he was preparing to leave.

He sensed the movement of a battle fifty miles away.

If it were before.

Li Rui naturally would not have this ability.

But now, because he had comprehended the Qingxuan Dao and was in the mountains, with much water and wood, his perception ability had increased several times over.

"Is it a disciple of the Immortal Sect?"

Li Rui frowned slightly.

He did not expect that the place he randomly chose for seclusion would actually allow him to encounter people from the Immortal Sect.

But why would a disciple of the Immortal Sect appear in these deep mountains where there was no sign of human life?

With doubt in his heart.

Li Rui employed the Earth-Escaping Technique and rushed toward that side.

"I have no grudges against you, why do you want to hunt me down?"

"Who exactly are you?"

A small Daoist was running in front.

Three men in black were chasing behind.

A large man in black coldly said: "Who told you to worship the wrong sect, and you just had to go to the Nanhua Sect, then you deserve to die!"

The small Daoist in front was suffering endlessly in his heart.

He already had guesses.

That man in black should be a remnant of the Purple Gold Palace.

"Could it be that I am also going to follow in the footsteps of my senior brother?"

He had originally gone down the mountain to train with a group of senior brothers, never expecting to encounter a robbery.

His senior brother was beheaded.

The rest of the senior brothers fled in all directions.

These men in black seemed to be staring at him specifically, completely ignoring the others.

Fleeing without choosing a path.

He fled into the deep mountains.

The small Daoist was truly depressed.

He had long heard that the remnants of the Yu Kingdom's Purple Gold Palace were rampant, never expecting to encounter them himself.

Finally.

The small Daoist's magic power was exhausted, and his portable magic treasures were smashed one by one.

He no longer had any means to save his life.

Seeing this, the men in black behind him employed a rope-like magic treasure; the rope flashed with golden light, and then flew toward the small Daoist's ankles on its own.

With a tightening.

The small Daoist, who was already at the end of his rope, had his feet bound and fell forward onto the ground with a thud.

"Run!"

"Let's see how you run!"

The man in black walked up, cursing.

Then he used a secret technique to seal the small Daoist, shouldered him, and left.

The group had not gone far.

Li Rui appeared on the spot, looking in the direction of the men in black.

Lost in thought.

"Not people from the Purple Gold Palace."

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had dealt with the Purple Gold Palace too many times, so he could determine from the techniques of those men in black just now that they were definitely not from the Purple Gold Palace.

Moreover, there were not many people left in the Purple Gold Palace now, and they were hiding, so how could they be so blatant?

But since they were not people from the Purple Gold Palace, why pretend?

Li Rui recognized.

That youth sealed by the man in black had quite a reputation in the Yu Kingdom's cultivation world; he was a genius of the Nanhua Sect.

It was heard that although his realm was not high and he had not entered the inner sect.

But his talent had already been displayed, and he was a spirit body that was hard to encounter in a hundred years; although not as good as a Dao body, it was also extremely extraordinary.

The Nanhua Sect had also always placed high hopes on him.

Never expecting that he would also meet a poisonous hand like Chang Su Xuan before.

Li Rui did not intend to save him.

He was not a person of the Nanhua Sect, so naturally, there was no need to manage this idle business.

After a little thought.

Li Rui took a talisman from his sleeve and turned it into golden light, sweeping toward the direction of the men in black.

Spirit mine, deep underground.

In a dim secret room.

Prince Wei Zhu Gan sat cross-legged in the center, and in front of him, a Nanhua Sect disciple had his hands and feet bound, and his entire person was in a coma.

"Mr. Zhou, you say, can this succeed this time?"

Zhu Gan looked at the Nanhua Sect disciple in front of him with a gloomy face.

If Li Rui were here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was precisely the Nanhua Sect disciple who was abducted in the mountains.

Zhou Tong, who was on the side, said lightly:

"Your Highness, if you want perfection, this matter cannot be rushed, otherwise, at most it will just be a fake Heavenly Phenomenon, and it will definitely be detected by others."

"Gu Gu Changsheng is not easy to fool."

Hearing this.

Zhu Gan sighed lightly: "I trust you, sir."

Correct.

He was precisely using the Soul-Shifting and Bone-Changing Technique passed down by the National Preceptor to re-enhance his root bones and impact the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.

Ever since the last breakthrough failure.

Zhu Gan sent Zhou Tong to find his aunt's husband, the National Preceptor, to seek a method for breakthrough.

And then he obtained this method of soul-shifting and bone-grafting.

Just as Zhou Tong said just now, wanting to create a fake Heavenly Phenomenon was not difficult.

But what Zhu Gan wanted was to ascend the throne.

Then he would inevitably be watched by countless eyes, among which there was no lack of figures of the level of Gu Gu Changsheng and Yuan Yuan Dingting.

A fake Heavenly Phenomenon obtained through soul-shifting and bone-changing could not escape the eyes of those people.

So the path Zhu Gan wanted to walk was far more difficult than the Blood Shadow Old Ancestor's.

He could not pick up what was ready-made.

What he needed to find were young cultivators with excellent talent and root bones, only to deprive them of their root bones and destroy their souls.

The benefit was that Zhu Gan was still Zhu Gan, and no one could pick out any faults.

The disadvantage was because he only changed bones and did not shift souls.

The improvement he could obtain each time was limited; Zhu Gan had already changed the bones of two people, but it was still not enough.

One must know.

The candidates for bone-changing were not ordinary people; they must be people with special constitutions.

These people were all treasures of major Immortal Sects and families; even Zhu Gan could not say he could easily capture them.

And the aftermath was extremely great.

Even Zhu Gan was a little worried.

Yes.

Chang Su Xuan before was naturally not killed by the Blood Shadow Old Ancestor, but was forcibly soul-destroyed and bone-stolen by him, and then blamed on the Blood Shadow Old Ancestor.

This matter was handled very beautifully.

The Qingwei Sect believed it.

It was heard that the Blood Shadow Old Ancestor had already been beaten to a half-crippled state by the Qingwei Sect and Yu Kingdom experts.

This time it was considered repeating the same trick.

Zhu Gan took a deep breath: "Then I will trouble Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Tong nodded:

"Your Highness, this is my duty; this person possesses a spirit body, after bone-changing, the effect will definitely be good."

After saying this.

A large hand steadily grabbed the head of the Nanhua Sect disciple.

Instantly.

Dazzling green light flickered.

The Nanhua Sect disciple's body shook and twitched; it was also at this time that the seal on his body was lifted, and his consciousness returned.

He looked in terror at the unfamiliar environment around him, and the two people in front of him.

"You..."

Before he could finish speaking.

A phantom similar to him was forcibly dragged out by Zhou Tong.

It was precisely the Nanhua Sect disciple's soul!

As the soul was extracted, the movement of the body gradually calmed down, and finally, it became completely limp.

Soul flown and soul scattered!

What was even more despairing was that throughout the entire process, the Nanhua Sect disciple was awake, watching his own soul being stripped away, with unimaginable fear and despair.

Zhou Tong's hand movements did not decrease.

He saw the magic techniques in his hands change again.

Soon.

The Nanhua Sect disciple's physical body was refined into a pool of blood, within which golden brilliance could be faintly seen.

Zhu Gan, who was on the side, had also long since prepared.

He immediately operated the refining method he obtained from his aunt's husband, the National Preceptor, and carefully refined that pool of blood.

He was now accumulating blood energy.

After the genius blood energy was sufficiently absorbed, his aunt's husband, the National Preceptor, would personally take action to shift his soul and change his bones; at that time, his talent would make even the so-called chief disciples of those Immortal Sects pale in comparison.

Not just the Heavenly Phenomenon, even the First Rank was not completely impossible to touch.

First Rank...

Thinking of this, Zhu Gan's eyes became even more determined.

As long as one does things in the world, one must take risks.

If it were before, when he had not yet failed his breakthrough, he might have thought it was a side-door path.

But now... he would rather take risks than waste away and wait for death.

Thinking of his father's brothers, each of them being raised in the deep palace as auspicious signs, he was willing to do whatever it took.

Yes.

Whatever it took.

On top of Mount Changqing Peak.

Li Rui sat cross-legged in his room.

A look of thought appeared on his face.

He used a tracking talisman that day to quietly follow the whereabouts of that group of men in black, but what he did not expect was that those men in black actually arrived near the spirit mine.

And it was precisely the spirit mine where the Yu Kingdom was located.

Clearly.

There was some secret hidden within that he did not know.

And the source of the secret was extremely likely to be that Yu Kingdom's Fifth Prince, Prince Wei, Zhu Gan.

This matter was not hard to guess.

There were only five people in the spirit mine who had the energy to take action against that Nanhua Sect disciple.

Excluding himself.

There were only four people left.

Whether it was Ke Liu Chuan, Yuan Xiong, or Ben Shi, it was almost impossible to hide from his eyes and ears; the only one with such energy was Zhu Gan.

"But why would Zhu Gan want to capture the Nanhua Sect disciple alive?"

Li Rui frowned slightly, a flash of incomprehension in his eyes.

Zhu Gan was the Fifth Prince of the Yu Kingdom.

What did he not have?

The only possibility was that the Nanhua Sect disciple had a grudge against Zhu Gan, or Zhu Gan had some special hobby like a fondness for the same sex.

However, Li Rui faintly felt that this matter was not that simple.

After all, the Qingwei Sect just lost a Chang Su Xuan, and now another genius of an Immortal Sect had gone missing.

It would definitely explode.

If the Nanhua Sect knew, even if Zhu Gan was the Fifth Prince, he would not get any good.

After all, he was in the wrong first.

Even if he did not have to pay with blood, his status in the eyes of the Emperor would definitely plummet.

Completely cut off from the position of Crown Prince.

Although Zhu Gan was arrogant and domineering, Li Rui knew that Zhu Gan was not as reckless as he appeared; in fact, he was very shrewd.

There must be some ulterior motive behind it.

Li Rui thought for a while.

But he was not too entangled.

If he couldn't think of it, he might as well wait until he had more clues; moreover, he was originally a Yu Kingdom official, so as long as Zhu Gan was not insane, he shouldn't take action against him.

Putting away his thoughts.

He then began to observe the Dao Embryo infant in his body.

At this moment.

The phantom of the Qingxuan Great Dao appeared around the Dao Embryo infant, and majestic vitality filled the entire Immortal Court.

Originally, the Immortal Court only had one peach tree.

Now, a few more touches of green had appeared.

Li Rui was very happy.

The Qingxuan Great Dao actually had an unexpected promoting effect on opening up a small heaven and earth.

And the Dao Embryo could comprehend the Qingxuan Great Dao by itself; he almost didn't need to worry.

The more his cultivation progressed, the more he could feel the extraordinary nature of the Dao Embryo.

Li Rui began to think about his own Great Dao again.

Compared to the Qingxuan Great Dao comprehended by the Dao Embryo, he had absolutely no clue about the Great Dao he wanted to comprehend himself.

Cultivating until late at night.

Li Rui then crawled into his quilt to sleep.

Opening his eyes again.

He had already arrived at the Grand Void Dao Field.

He crossed the white jade steps in three steps and soon arrived at the small hut of the Master Wanshou Daoist.

Just entering the door.

He saw the spirit of the small old man appear.

"Why did you take so long to come?"

The spirit of the small old man asked.

Li Rui: "Senior, I have had some realizations recently and have been in seclusion, so I haven't come."

After he returned to Qinghe, he realized that he had actually been in seclusion for seven days and seven nights this time.

During the period of comprehending the Great Dao, it was naturally impossible to sleep.

So he had not come to ask the spirit of the small old man for advice for seven or eight days.

Hearing this.

The small old man, who was puffing with anger, had his complexion improve quite a bit.

"You brat, you truly are in a blessing and don't know it; back in the day, I don't know how many heroes wanted to ask for my guidance but couldn't..."

The spirit of the small old man boasted for a while.

Li Rui just listened.

Until he was satisfied, he seized the opportunity to speak: "Senior, I have reached the Below Tongxuan Upper Realm, this comprehending the Great Dao..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The spirit of the small old man widened his eyes: "You broke through?"

Afterward, he floated around Li Rui several times, his eyes filled with even more surprise, and then wild joy: "Never expected that the True Person actually found a treasure; you brat broke through so quickly, not bad, not bad."

"This is also outstanding among those little guys back in the day."

"Comprehending the Great Dao, right?"

Li Rui nodded: "Exactly."

"I didn't tell you before because the time wasn't right; since you have now reached the juncture of choosing the Great Dao, I will tell you."

"The Great Dao is myriad; choosing the Dao is of utmost importance."

"If the Dao is chosen wrongly, everything is over."

"You brat are lucky; if you found someone else, they would definitely tell you to follow your heart, but the Great Dao is ethereal, how could it be so easy to follow your heart? My Daoist master has great talent and created a 'Great Dao Induction Chapter' to help choose a suitable Great Dao."

"I will pass it to you now; listen carefully."
