Chapter 456: The Struggle of the Great Dao [Two-in-one, seeking monthly votes!!]

Only hearing the spirit of the small old man singing softly:

"The Gate of Xuanpin knocks on the Jade Capital, the Primordial Qi penetrates the Purple Court; if one wishes for the Great Dao to penetrate one's own body, one must naturally exchange the Heavenly Heart for one's own heart."

Li Rui's eyes lit up.

He listened even more carefully.

In a mere three thousand words, it pointed out a very special path.

"What a 'naturally exchange the Heavenly Heart for one's own heart'!"

The spirit of the small old man spoke:

"This method opens up a different path, actively attracting the Heavenly Will, thereby peeking at a trace of Heavenly Secrets; you practice diligently, and with your natural talent, it shouldn't be difficult to refine."

Li Rui had extremely high comprehension, so he naturally remembered everything.

He bowed.

"Many thanks, Senior."

Seeing Li Rui so humble, the smile on the spirit of the small old man's face grew even more.

It was as if he saw a beloved junior.

Although he was only a remnant soul of the spirit left by the Master Wanshou Daoist, he also had his own independent thoughts.

Who wouldn't like a junior with great potential and good manners?

It was all to complete the Daoist's mission; if he looked pleasing, he would teach more; if not, he might not even take out the Great Dao Induction Chapter.

This was also tacitly approved by the Daoist.

The Master Wanshou Daoist was different from other Daoists; he valued the temperament of cultivators more.

It was precisely for this reason that he left behind this remnant soul of the spirit.

"Little Li, the struggle of the Great Dao is mysterious and profound; once you fall into it, even a Daoist has a great possibility of falling. You practice with this Great Dao Induction Chapter, you can try more, and find a path that is easy to walk."

The spirit of the small old man spoke obscurely.

Li Rui understood: "I will remember Senior's teachings."

"Hmm."

The spirit of the small old man was even more satisfied.

He possessed most of the spirit's memories, so he knew too many unruly young people who thought they could defy the heavens; except for a few who really advanced bravely and became great figures, the other ninety-nine percent fell.

But who could guarantee that they were definitely one of the few who survived?

So his Daoist master advocated walking an easy path.

In the end, he also wore out many strong enemies.

This kid before him had quite the style of the Daoist back then, mainly listening to advice.

Li Rui also asked the spirit of the small old man about some doubts regarding the Great Dao Induction Chapter.

Until the time of the Great Dream Wandering Immortal was exhausted.

Only then did he sit up in the room on Mount Changqing Peak.

Lost in thought.

"Great Dao Induction Chapter."

At noon.

Li Rui was cultivating in the courtyard.

Suddenly he heard footsteps.

Then there was a knock on the door.

A cold voice sounded outside the door: "Qingwei Sect, Su Xuan Yu requests an audience."

Li Rui's eyebrows lifted slightly when he heard it was the Su Xuan Yu Daoist.

Pushing the door open.

He saw the cold Su Xuan Yu Daoist and the Purple Yang Old Daoist, whose expression was a bit awkward.

The Purple Yang Old Daoist's face moved:

"Brother Li, Senior Brother has some matters and wants to ask you."

Li Rui moved to the side.

Welcoming the two into the courtyard.

He called Yuan An to brew a pot of tea, and only then spoke: "Two Daoists, I wonder what the matter is?"

Ever since he came to the Qingwei Sect.

The number of times he met this person of real power in the Qingwei Sect could be counted on one hand, and it was unprecedented for the Su Xuan Yu Daoist to come to Mount Changqing Peak.

Su Xuan Yu glanced at Yuan An on the side.

His complexion improved a bit.

Yuan An was the son of Yuan Yuan Dingting; even the Qingwei Sect did not dare to be negligent.

Even to Li Rui, they could only have a good temper.

Su Xuan Yu drank a cup of tea, and only then spoke: "Lord Li, I wonder if you have heard about the murder of my disciple, Chang Su Xuan?"

Li Rui nodded:

"I have heard, please restrain your grief, Daoist."

Su Xuan Yu: "My disciple was originally a dragon in the sky, but unfortunately, he was destined to have this calamity, and I cannot blame others; but this grudge, as his master, I must settle."

"At first, I thought it was revenge from those remnants of the Purple Gold Palace, and it was also Senior Brother Su Xuan Wei who told me that the murderer is likely someone else."

"Recently, I heard that a disciple of the Nanhua Sect was also murdered in Yunzhou."

"I wonder if Lord Li can help find clues."

Li Rui listened.

Although Su Xuan Yu's words were polite, they seemed to have a target.

"Does Daoist Su Xuan Yu feel that it was my Yu Kingdom that killed them?"

The Su Xuan Yu Daoist narrowed his eyes: "The disciples of my Qingwei Sect and the Nanhua Sect did indeed go missing within the Yu Kingdom, and have already fallen; the possibility of it being the Yu Kingdom is very high."

"Moreover, I have already found some clues, which seem to be related to the Yu Kingdom's military."

Before the words fell.

The Su Xuan Yu Daoist's momentum soared.

The terrifying pressure of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm pressed down on Li Rui like a mountain collapsing and the seas overturning.

If it were an ordinary Below Tongxuan Realm expert, they would probably already be sweating profusely and unable to move even half an inch.

But what neither the Su Xuan Yu Daoist nor the Purple Yang Old Daoist expected was.

Li Rui was completely unmoved, calmly raising his teacup and taking a sip with a natural expression.

This action looked ordinary.

But if placed under the pressure of the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, it appeared very extraordinary.

Especially the Purple Yang Old Daoist, whose shock was even greater.

He was just standing by the side and felt suffocated, but Li Rui, who was in the center of the pressure, did not show any change at all.

Both were Below Tongxuan, but the performance at this time could be called a world of difference.

"Has he improved again?"

The Purple Yang Old Daoist swallowed his saliva secretly.

He had heard before that Jiang Jiang Linxian, who was ranked in the top three hundred of the Martial Evaluation, had always regarded Li Rui as a fellow Daoist.

After Jiang Jiang Linxian broke through to Below Tongxuan, his momentum as a Sword Immortal did not diminish.

Never expected that a word would become a prophecy.

Li Rui was also this fierce.

A flash of surprise crossed the Su Xuan Yu Daoist's eyes.

He did this naturally to give Li Rui a show of strength; although the murderer was not Li Rui, it was definitely someone from the Yu Kingdom imperial court.

Then this grudge, Li Rui, this envoy of the Qingwei Sect, also had to bear.

It was just that this show of strength was easily resolved by Li Rui.

Li Rui slowly spoke: "Daoist Su Xuan Yu, I understand the pain of losing a disciple, but the matter has not yet been investigated, so one cannot easily come to a conclusion; otherwise, it would damage the long-term alliance between my dynasty and the Qingwei Sect, which would not be good."

In a few words, he pushed the matter to the imperial court and the Qingwei Sect.

Before two behemoths.

Even if Su Xuan Yu was already a Heavenly Phenomenon, he had to consider more.

At least he would no longer make things difficult for an envoy.

Su Xuan Yu also calmed down and snorted lightly: "Then I will trouble Lord Li."

After speaking.

He stood up and walked toward the door.

Su Xuan Yu left.

The Purple Yang Old Daoist did not follow, but looked at Li Rui with some guilt: "Lord Li, my Senior Brother Su Xuan Yu has a violent temper, it is just because his most beloved disciple died, and he is eager for revenge."

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

Violent temper?

He didn't think so; if it weren't for his strength being strong enough today, he might have been directly hit by Su Xuan Yu's move and suffered internal injuries.

This was no longer a violent temper.

But a grudge of blocking the Dao.

For cultivators, losing time is equivalent to missing the Great Dao.

The Su Xuan Yu Daoist used his power to pressure others; for him, it was naturally nothing, but for Li Rui, this grudge naturally had to be recorded.

With killing intent hidden in his heart, his face did not show any change: "Fellow Daoist Purple Yang, what exactly happened?"

He naturally knew that Chang Su Xuan's death was extremely likely to be the work of Prince Wei, Zhu Gan.

It could be considered the Yu Kingdom imperial court taking action.

It was just that he didn't understand how the Qingwei Sect discovered it.

The Purple Yang Old Daoist sighed lightly: "Senior Brother Su Xuan Yu was extremely good to Junior Nephew Chang; he originally thought he could pass on his mantle, never expecting him to die young, so Senior Brother Su Xuan Yu used the 'Back-Illumination Secret Technique' to trace the aura of Junior Nephew Chang Su Xuan when he was murdered."

"Senior Brother Su Xuan Yu sensed that the person who took action against Junior Nephew Chang Su Xuan had the foundation of the Yu Kingdom's military hard-training."

Li Rui pondered.

Back-Illumination Method...

The methods of these cultivators were truly unpredictable, actually having such a unique secret technique.

"In the future, when taking action, even if there is no one around, I must be even more cautious."

Li Rui secretly pondered, then spoke: "I understand, Fellow Daoist Purple Yang can rest assured, the Qingwei Sect is of utmost importance to my dynasty, I will definitely not let some scum destroy the hundred-generation good contract between you and me."

The Purple Yang Old Daoist: "Then I will trouble Brother Li."

After speaking.

He then left.

Soon.

Only Li Rui remained in the room.

Li Rui looked in the direction where the two old Daoists Su Xuan Yu and Purple Yang left, his heart moved slightly.

An interlude passed.

Li Rui still practiced as usual.

The Great Dao Induction Chapter was not difficult, and the closer one was to the Great Dao, the easier it was to learn.

For Li Rui, it was even more of a piece of cake.

In less than ten days.

He had refined the Great Dao Induction Chapter.

Li Rui quietly went down Mount Changqing Peak; anyway, Mount Changqing Peak was now on the edge of the Qingwei Sect, and no one could detect it at all.

Soon.

He arrived in the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

There was no sign of human life here all year round; it was a world of beasts and insects.

Li Rui sat cross-legged, his hand techniques changing.

He shouted in a low voice:

"Rise!"

Before the words fell.

Strands of Evergreen Qi rose around Li Rui, soon turning into a cocoon-like shape, wrapping him layer by layer.

At this time.

He entered a mysterious state, his spirit wandering beyond the heavens.

When Li Rui could see things.

He discovered that he was already in a piece of darkness; soon, two true qi appeared before his eyes, one blue and one green, giving him an extremely familiar feeling.

Recognizing it at a glance.

It was precisely the Qingxuan Great Dao he had already comprehended.

This was the unique aspect of the Great Dao Induction Chapter.

The Master Wanshou Daoist was also a strange person, using this method to construct a world origin place, where one could better see the Great Dao.

Although the effect on comprehending the Great Dao was limited, it was extremely suitable for choosing the Great Dao.

It was equivalent to opening an experience version.

As Li Rui's thoughts moved.

In an instant—

The scene shifted, and he was placed among the myriad stars of the universe.

The Qingxuan Great Dao turned into one of the stars.

These stars were the remnants of the Great Dao.

Myriad Great Daos were all displayed in front!

Li Rui's eyes shone.

In this way, why worry about not finding a Great Dao suitable for himself!

Li Rui carefully sensed every kind of Great Dao as if flipping through a book.

He didn't know how much time had passed.

A star that seemed illusory and real, giving people a feeling of being close at hand but untouchable, appeared before Li Rui's eyes.

"The Dao of Space?"

Li Rui couldn't help but look a few more times.

Although the Great Dao did not distinguish between high and low.

But the effects of each Great Dao were vastly different; for example, this Great Dao of Space could almost be said to be an all-cycle powerhouse; cultivators who comprehended the Great Dao of Space were all the most powerful existences of the same rank.

Even in the Immortal Cultivation World, cultivators who comprehended the Great Dao of Space appeared once every three thousand years.

Very few.

Li Rui sighed lightly in his heart.

He could feel that he had no affinity with the Great Dao of Space.

Secretly sighing, he started to check other stars.

Afterward, he saw the Great Dao of Time, which was as famous as the Great Dao of Space, and even superior.

The same.

Also no affinity.

Li Rui did not feel surprised.

According to what he knew, unless there was great good fortune, people who could comprehend the Great Dao of Time and the Great Dao of Space were often people with special constitutions.

For example, Time Dao Body, Space Dao Body, and the like.

These constitutions were also extremely domineering.

Compared to his Primordial Immortal Martial Dao Embryo, although not as good, they were also his own advantages.

The affinity of the Dao could not be forced.

Li Rui watched from day until late at night, until his soul could not support it, and only then did he slowly open his eyes.

"Myriad Great Daos are truly extraordinary."

In the world of Dao rhyme, he even saw the Great Dao of Poetry, the Great Dao of Ritual, and other Great Daos he had never heard of.

It was truly as the spirit of the small old man said.

All things can enter the Dao.

He also knew.

The Great Dao comprehended by Yuan Yuan Dingting was precisely the Great Dao of War; simply put, the more chaotic the world, the stronger his Great Dao.

It was truly miraculous.

So when the Immortal Sect came out and the world was in turmoil, his ranking did not drop but rose, precisely because his Great Dao was special.

It was even more because the Great Dao he comprehended fit the Great War between Yu and Man at that time.

So it created the feat of entering the Heavenly Phenomenon in twenty years without any bottlenecks.

It was as difficult as ascending to heaven for later generations to replicate.

As for Li Rui's Dao.

It still needed time to find.

He also gradually knew about this struggle of the Great Dao.

It sounded very mysterious, but it was actually not hard to understand.

For example, some people comprehended the Dao of Raising Dragons, while others comprehended the Dao of Slaying Dragons, which were naturally opposed.

Or for example.

If someone comprehended the Dao of Peace, then there would be a struggle of the Great Dao with Yuan Yuan Dingting.

The beginning was not limited.

But as the realm got higher and higher, and the comprehended Great Dao got deeper, both sides would inevitably have a struggle.

Wanting not to struggle was almost impossible.

But with the Great Dao Induction Chapter, one could find the context as much as possible and avoid too intense competition.

When Li Rui returned to Mount Changqing Peak.

It was already the second half of the night.

Although cultivators did not need to rest like mortals, because most of them also came from mortal cultivation, they also rested at sunset.

The Qingwei Sect at this time was shrouded in darkness.

"Master."

Li Rui had just stepped into the room when he saw Yuan An and Liu Liu Tiezhu were not asleep.

"What happened?"

Li Rui smiled slightly.

Yuan An blinked: "Master, people from the Su Xuan Yu Peak of the Qingwei Sect have been trapped on the road up the mountain for a day and a night."

Li Rui was dumbfounded.

Just now he came back through the Earth-Escaping Technique and truly didn't pay attention to the situation at the foot of the mountain.

Mount Changqing Peak had long been set up with great arrays by him.

Not just one.

Even he himself didn't remember the specific number.

In short.

As long as the arrays in the book of the Wan Gui Daoist could be set up, he used them all to practice.

Even Below Tongxuan experts might not necessarily be able to escape.

Liu Liu Tiezhu: "Master, if you don't unlock it, I'm worried they will go crazy."

He and Yuan An had long been instructed by Li Rui.

Every time they went up or down the mountain, they followed specific routes.

Today.

Several people from Su Xuan Yu Peak came up the mountain aggressively, only to be trapped in Li Rui's great array.

One by one, they were tortured to death by the illusion array.

The two of them didn't sleep because they were afraid these people would die.

Li Rui pondered.

Then he waved his sleeve, and an invisible true qi fell to the foot of the mountain.

A crack appeared in the illusion array.

Soon.

Seven or eight young men and women were seen running out of the array in terror.

"It's actually an illusion array!"

A young small Daoist looked at the position he just ran out of with lingering fear.

Another beautiful female disciple couldn't help but curse: "This Li Turtle..."

Before she finished speaking.

Thinking that the Li Turtle might be on the mountain at this moment, she didn't dare to continue.

The others looked at their junior sister with strange expressions.

This junior sister was usually a gentle lady.

Now she looked like a shrew.

It showed what kind of torture she suffered in the illusion array.

At this time, the oldest Daoist spoke: "I heard before that this Lord Li likes to study arrays, never expected that his array attainments have already become so terrifying; let's go back to the sect first, and discuss the matter of Senior Brother Chang later."

The others looked at each other.

They originally heard that Senior Brother Chang Su Xuan was extremely likely to be killed by someone from the Yu Kingdom imperial court, so they came to ask for an explanation.

But never expected.

They didn't even see the face of the Li Turtle before they returned in failure.

One by one, they finally looked at the illusion array.

They never wanted to go in and experience it again.

The woman in the Heart-Asking Array was truly terrifying; no wonder the junior sister was so out of character.

That Li Turtle was simply more demonic than a demonic cultivator.

"Retreat first."

As one person took the lead, the others felt relieved and didn't dare to stay, fleeing in a panic.

On the other end.

On top of the mountain.

Li Rui watched those Su Xuan Yu Peak disciples in his eyes.

Su Xuan Yu True Person had a very high status in the Qingwei Sect, and the disciples of Su Xuan Yu Peak also felt they were higher than other peaks; except for Su Xuan Wei Peak, they looked down on everyone.

Chang Su Xuan, as the next peak master cultivated by Su Xuan Yu, had quite a reputation.

These Su Xuan Yu Peak disciples probably heard the news, so they came to the door.

Of course.

This was not a big deal to Li Rui.

But since it was a matter, it should be solved.

To prevent it from getting bigger and bigger.

The matter was done by Zhu Gan, so he naturally had no reason to help wipe his butt.

Li Rui touched his chin:

"Need to think of a way."
