Chapter 459: I Am the Dao [Seeking Monthly Votes!!]

Yu Kingdom spirit mine, in the residence.

"Brother Li, if there are no signs of breakthrough in another three years, I will have to think of a way to go to the Northern Plains."

Yuan Xiong said.

A bitter smile on the corner of his mouth.

Even as stunning as he was, he had already stayed in the Below Tongxuan Initial Realm for more than ten years, his patience gradually being worn away.

This was also the situation of most martial artists in the world.

Like Li Rui, who had no obstacles, that was what too many people dreamed of.

Being Yuan Yuan Dingting's foster son only allowed him to reach Below Tongxuan; wanting to go further, he could only fight for it himself.

Only by going to the battlefield in the north could he find a glimmer of opportunity.

Not to mention him, a foster son of a Military Saint, even princes were the same.

Zhu Gan was the best example.

Practicing martial arts and cultivating immortals were the same; where was there no risking one's life?

Li Rui: "What Brother Yuan seeks is different from me; it is time to think about change."

He didn't say any nonsense like "don't be anxious."

Anyone would be anxious if it were them.

Not to mention Yuan Xiong was still young; since he couldn't break through, there was no need to continue wasting time in the spirit mine.

Yuan Xiong was surprised: "Brother Li also feels I should move?"

He originally thought Li Rui's temperament would advise him to stay.

Never expected.

Li Rui actually took the initiative to tell him to think about change.

"Of course, I am not those pedantic old scholars of the Hanlin Academy."

Li Rui laughed loudly.

Hearing this, Yuan Xiong also laughed loudly.

Afterward, he looked at Li Rui curiously: "Brother Li, you should be soon, right?"

Li Rui nodded:

"Luck is not bad, the array has improved, and by analogy, I entered the middle realm."

Yuan Xiong was stunned.

He was still guessing whether Li Rui was close to the middle realm, never expected that he had already broken through long ago.

It truly is comparing people to people, making people die of anger.

Li Rui could break through like drinking water just by staying on a small hill in the Qingwei Sect, while he was stuck in a spirit mine and couldn't move an inch.

Of course.

He also knew.

It was because the Daos of both sides were different.

To put it colloquially, it was because their temperaments were different; although he was the most steady among Yuan Yuan Dingting's foster sons, he was also a temperament that liked movement, unable to do things like going into seclusion for decades.

And he also gained a lot in the spirit mine.

Although they, the foster sons, all walked Yuan Yuan Dingting's path.

But the situation was ultimately different from before.

Outsiders only knew that the Emperor's ascension was difficult, never knowing how many dangers were hidden in the immortal calamity that followed.

The world felt that Yuan Yuan Dingting, the National Preceptor, and the Duke of Duke Dingyuan had status beyond the ordinary.

Never knowing that these were all killed by killing Fallen Immortals.

Otherwise, did they truly think that Fallen Immortals like the Great True Person Qing Ding were so easy to get along with?

But now, there was no such opportunity.

So only the eldest and second brothers who followed Yuan Yuan Dingting in the most tragic battle achieved the Heavenly Phenomenon.

Hearing Li Rui's words.

Yuan Xiong became even more determined in his resolve to go north.

Watching Yuan Xiong leave.

Li Rui just smiled lightly.

Yuan Xiong staying in the spirit mine would naturally be a great help to him, but he couldn't violate his heart and keep him in the Ten Thousand Mountains just because of this reason.

That was a major event that ruined his future.

Li Rui was not a saint who sacrificed himself for others, but he also valued loyalty.

He had seen too many Great Daos.

So he knew that Yuan Xiong's future was not in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Li Rui stood up and returned to his room.

Sitting cross-legged by the window.

The cold moonlight sprinkled on his body.

The next instant.

Fire rose around his body, and a wisp of purple qi rose from his head.

Purple qi comes from the east, the Great Dao is near!

Li Rui was motionless, using the Evergreen Qi to turn into red flames to attract the Great Dao to forge his body.

This was precisely what only the Primordial Immortal Martial Dao Embryo could do.

Looking within himself.

He saw that the Immortal Court in his dantian had even more terrifying phenomena at this time, with purple clouds filling the sky, myriad divine rays, and faintly, one could even see the figures of immortals; it was truly magnificent and majestic.

Within the Immortal Court, countless Great Dao auras flowed.

Incomparably profound.

Correct.

Li Rui's Dao was the Immortal Court small heaven and earth opened in his dantian.

Union of Dao Immortal Court small heaven and earth!

Jumping out of the myriad worlds, not within the five elements.

This was the Dao Li Rui wanted to create.

If He Qiannian saw it, he would definitely laugh heartily; it was no wonder that Li Rui was his most proud disciple.

What about the Dao of Heaven and Earth? If you don't like it, then practice yourself into the Great Dao!

What domineering spirit.

Cultivators follow heaven, martial artists should naturally defy heaven.

Li Rui combined the small heaven and earth opened in his dantian; once the Dao is achieved, he can transcend all things and live as long as heaven and earth.

No.

It should be that heaven and earth shatter, and I still exist.

True great freedom!

But wanting to do this was also extremely difficult; one must melt myriad Great Daos into one furnace.

Of course.

Li Rui didn't need to reach that step now.

He only needed to raise a wisp of Immortal Court Dao rhyme to be able to step into the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm with peace of mind.

His eyes became determined.

Heard that great cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation World still need to undergo heavenly tribulations; cultivation is said to follow heaven, but it is actually an act of stealing from heaven.

Since one wants to become an immortal, one must perform extraordinary acts.

And he was only a hundred years old, with plenty of time.

But once he was impatient and walked the wrong path, he would regret it later.

The next moment.

The red flames around his body rose again, almost completely submerging his figure.

The fire of Dao rhyme constantly forged the Immortal Court within his body.

Yuan Xiong's action was even faster than Li Rui imagined.

Only ten days passed.

News from the imperial court came.

Yuan Xiong and Nie Nie Siming were ordered to go north to resist the strong enemies of the Northern Plains.

Li Rui was not surprised that the imperial court acted so quickly.

Good things would be dragged out.

Even though the situation in the Northern Plains had eased, there were no large-scale battles, but skirmishes had never stopped.

Others were too late to escape.

Anyone would be happy to have two battle-hardened Below Tongxuan generals like Yuan Xiong and Nie Nie Siming.

Heard that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, those officials, stayed up all night to handle it specially.

This treatment was rare.

Yuan Xiong left quickly, but the person coming to replace Yuan Xiong was not so fast.

The garrison of the spirit mine in the Ten Thousand Mountains was a fat job.

Previously, with Yuan Yuan Dingting guarding it, others didn't dare to snatch it.

Now that there was an opportunity.

Naturally, there would be a round of invisible games.

But these had nothing to do with Li Rui.

This day.

Li Rui returned to Mount Changqing Peak from the spirit mine.

Just walking into the courtyard.

He saw Liu Liu Tiezhu and Yuan An discussing something; the two were talking so intently that even he, their master, came in without any action.

Yuan An worshipped Li Rui as his master.

But he didn't despise Li Rui's previous four disciples because of his status as a prince.

On the contrary.

He got along extremely well with this rough man, Liu Liu Tiezhu.

In the Qingwei Sect, one could often see the figures of the two walking side by side.

Li Rui didn't make a sound.

Just standing at the door and listening.

"Second Senior Brother, you don't know, the Qingwei Sect has a Earth Ranking, which is the ranking of inner sect disciples and true disciples in the sect."

"A few days ago, an inner sect disciple of the Jiuzhen Peak died."

"At first, everyone just thought it was normal lack of ability, suffering calamity during training."

"But a few more disciples died in the past few days, and you say it's a coincidence, these people are respectively the last few on the Earth Ranking."

"Look at the time of death."

"Good fellow, it's clearly someone killing according to the Earth Ranking list."

Yuan An said with great interest.

Although Mount Changqing Peak was in the Qingwei Sect, due to his status, the people of Mount Changqing Peak actually had very little communication with the Qingwei Sect.

Yuan An was an exception.

He was originally an inner sect disciple of the Qingwei Sect, and even his own ranking on the Earth Ranking was extremely high; with this incense-burning relationship, plus his status being high enough, many Qingwei Sect disciples hoped to curry favor with this prince so they could become officials in the future, so his popularity was naturally extremely good.

Often heard some inside news.

Liu Liu Tiezhu listened and called it painful.

He had been blacksmithing all his life and had never walked the rivers and lakes, so he was most interested in these rivers and lakes matters.

According to what Yuan An said.

That Earth Ranking was no longer a genius list, now it clearly became a life-taking list in the hands of Yama!
