Chapter 498: Physical Dao Ascension, Surpassing the Record!

"I just don't know how long you can hold out in there!"

Elder Xu murmured.

Su Yu sat cross‑legged in the Long River, feeling the change in his power after breaking through the Great Dao Realm.

"Now I've already broken through the Great Dao Realm. With the strength of Ten Thousand Dao Unity, I'm currently only at the sixth rank, yet even against a seventh‑rank Great Dao of the same realm, I might not be defeated!"

"If the level is the same as mine, or a Great Dao lower than me, I could even fight across ranks!"

Su Yu silently pondered.

"After breaking through the Great Dao Realm, one can no longer enter the Great Dao Long River. So how should I advance the Great Dao's rank now?"

Su Yu was slightly confused.

He asked the Synthesis Slot system.

"System, must the Great Dao be upgraded by devouring other Great Daos?"

"Ding— Host has ascended to the Great Dao Realm; the shop system is now open. You can purchase Great Daos in the shop using Synthesis Points!"

Hearing the system, Su Yu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but open the attribute panel.

"Host: Su Yu!

Cultivation: Great Dao Realm (11,000 li!)

Martial Techniques: Yin‑Yang Taiji Fist, Nine‑Layer Thunder Demon Slash, Heavenly Thunder Demon‑Slaying Slash, Seventy‑Two Transformations, Nine‑Dragon Sky Sword (Fragmented)

Technique: Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Manual (Fragmented)

Weapons: Heaven‑Striking Blade, Holy Sky Armor!

Synthesis Points: 63 (Items above Dao‑level can add one Synthesis Point!)

Shop: Opened!"

Su Yu noticed that his Synthesis Points were already at 63.

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly recalled the Dao‑level techniques and ranks he had synthesized back in the Xu family's Library.

They had added to his Synthesis Points.

Su Yu opened the system, ready to check how many Synthesis Points a Great Dao requires.

"Flame Great Dao: Rank 1, requires 1 Synthesis Point!"

"Explosive Flame Great Dao: Rank 2, requires 10 Synthesis Points!"

"Raging Flame Great Dao: Rank 3, requires 100 Synthesis Points!"

"Lava Great Dao: Rank 4, requires 1,000 Synthesis Points!"

Looking at the prices, Su Yu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

"Not bad, looks like having over 60 Synthesis Points is decent."

But the Great Dao prices are unreasonably high.

Given my current worth, being able to buy six second‑rank Great Daos would be decent.

But a second‑rank Great Dao offers no improvement for Su Yu at present.

After all, my Ten Thousand Dao Unity is already at the sixth rank.

"No bug at all!"

Su Yu looked at the shop skeptically.

He had originally intended to profit from price differences in the shop.

After all, ten Great Daos of the same rank can raise one level.

However, in the shop, when a Great Dao's rank jumps a tier, the price also multiplies tenfold.

That's a bit troublesome.

"Forget it, I'll deal with Great Dao advancement later. The sixth‑rank Great Dao is enough for me now; it's time to raise my rank!"

Su Yu tossed the thought from his mind.

He began to activate the Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Manual, absorbing the Dao power of the Great Dao River.

Now the Ten Thousand Dao Unity has successfully reached the Great Dao Realm.

But the Physical Dao has only just been comprehended.

Su Yu had a gut feeling that once his Physical Dao ascended to the Great Dao Realm, his combat power would receive a terrifying boost.

"Now… enhance the Physical Dao!"

Su Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

Instantly, wave after wave of immensely turbulent Great Dao power surged into Su Yu's body.

Under Su Yu's control, it was diverted into the Physical Dao.

The Physical Dao is a presence comparable to the Supreme Great Dao, and its cultivation is exceedingly difficult.

Moreover, Su Yu sensed that the longer he lingered in the Great Dao River, the more surrounding power generated for him kept increasing.

As if it were repelling him.

However, up to now, this force can basically be ignored by Su Yu.

Time drifted slowly; in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.

And within that hour, Su Yu's Physical Great Dao, nourished by the dense Great Dao power, began to surge continuously.

It surged up to a length of two thousand li.

Though two thousand li doesn't seem long, one must not forget that advancing the Physical Dao is extremely difficult.

The energy required for these two thousand li is comparable to what an ordinary person needs to progress from comprehending the Great Dao to ascending its realm.

"Hiss— holding out for an hour already surpasses fifty percent of the inner‑sect members!"

Someone stared at Su Yu in the Great Dao River with astonishment.

Generally, disciples who can enter the inner gate of the Azure Dragon Hall are not ordinary individuals.

They all possess some talent.

Even so, among inner gate disciples, only about half can endure a full hour when they first enter the Great Dao River.

"It seems our Hall Master's junior brother has decent talent, managing to hold out for an hour."

"Indeed, but he chose to advance the Physical Body Dao; isn't that a waste of an hour's time?"

"Exactly, the combat power of the Physical Body Dao is terrifying, yet its cultivation is far too slow."

"Compared with refining one's cultivation, it's incomparable. Even advancing the Physical Body Dao to the Great Dao Realm can match a warrior of twenty‑thousand li in strength."

"But all that resource would be enough for a single person to rise from the Great Dao Realm to fifty‑thousand li."

Many people watching Su Yu's actions couldn't help shaking their heads.

Yang Ming stood among the crowd, watching Su Yu's actions, and let out a faint sigh.

"When Senior Brother emerges, we should remind him: the candidate ceremony starts in a year. If Senior Brother cannot reach the level of a True Transmission Disciple within that year, it will be troublesome!"

Elder Xu stood on the bridge, his brows tightly knit.

Clearly, he also did not favor Su Yu's actions.

But at this moment Su Yu was immersed in cultivation, and he did not wish to disturb him.

Disturbing him could cause Su Yu to go astray.

He could only watch Su Yu continue.

Time passed once more.

The number of inner gate disciples beside the Great Dao River kept increasing.

It seemed to be due to Su Yu's reputation, or perhaps the duration he endured in the Great Dao River.

Two hours later, Su Yu still sat cross‑legged in the Great Dao River, his body unmoving.

"Sss! Two hours have passed; that duration exceeds eighty percent of inner gate disciples. Is Su Yu really that terrifying?"

Someone checked the time, and upon seeing two hours had elapsed, could not help but speak.

"Indeed, the first time one can hold out for two hours, future achievements will surely be high; no wonder he is the Hall Master's junior brother."

"Two hours already matches some core disciples, right?"

"Hmm, roughly; some core disciples' first attempts were only a bit over two hours."

"Impressive, impressive; looks like my Azure Dragon Peak will produce another core disciple."

Many inner gate disciples watched the cross‑legged figure in the river with envy.

One should know that there are tens of thousands of inner gate disciples, yet only a few hundred core disciples.

From this, one can see the status of core disciples within the Azure Dragon Hall.

Generally, a prodigy who becomes a core disciple, provided they do not die prematurely, will usually become an entity of the Law Realm.

At that moment, the Great Dao River suddenly trembled with waves of agitation.

Boom—

The booming sound rang through the entire Great Dao River, and the vortex that had been hanging upside down above Su Yu's head…

…began to quake.

"This fluctuation… could it be that Su Yu is about to breakthrough?"

Someone's pupils contracted sharply, staring in horror at the interior of the Great Dao River.

Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he gazed intently at the Great Dao River.

Behind Su Yu, a blood‑red Great Dao instantly surged outward.

It kept spreading backward.

One thousand li!

Two thousand li!

Seven thousand li!

Eight thousand li!

Nine thousand li!

Continuously… up to ten thousand li!

Boom—

Inside Su Yu, it seemed as if a furnace burned continuously, and a terrifying power erupted in an instant.

Physical Body Dao, entered!

At this moment, Su Yu's physical body power successfully advanced to the Great Dao Realm!

Ten thousand li!

"Sss! Two hours and the Physical Body Dao has risen to the Great Dao Realm tier; that speed is terrifying, isn't it?"

Someone inhaled sharply, staring at Su Yu in horror.

One should know that within the Azure Dragon Hall there are countless Heavenly Talents, and many have crossed into the Great Dao Realm via the Physical Body Dao.

However, those prodigies who entered the Dao with a physical body spent many costs and resources before doing so.

They also consumed considerable time to barely reach this point.

Yet Su Yu advanced to the Physical Body Great Dao Realm within just two hours.

This terrifying speed shocked many inner gate disciples.

"Sss, I recall the one from Blood Prison Peak who grasped the Physical Body Dao and entered the Physical Body Great Dao Realm took half a day, right?"

"Never thought Su Yu did it in only two hours; at that speed, is he even human!"

Someone said in horror.

However, someone calmly said, "It's only just entering the Great Dao realm, so being quick is fine. Don't forget, the one at Blood Prison Peak has already extended the Flesh Body Dao to a length of nine hundred thousand li."

Hearing this, the crowd fell slightly silent.

A trace of fear flashed in their eyes.

The one from Blood Prison Peak is a terrifying presence throughout Qing Long Hall.

He cultivates no cultivation level, focusing solely on the flesh body.

Now, the Flesh Body Dao has already reached a length of nine hundred thousand li, even for those few demonic geniuses in Qing Long Hall who have comprehended the Supreme Great Dao.

All regard this person with extreme apprehension.

For a moment, everyone's impression of Su Yu naturally faded considerably.

After all, he has only just entered the Dao, the road ahead is still long, and whether Su Yu can surpass that person is hard to say.

At this moment, within the River of the Great Dao.

Su Yu sits cross‑legged on the River of the Great Dao, feeling the dense flesh‑body power emanating from within his body.

At the instant the Flesh Body Dao crossed into the Great Dao realm, Su Yu felt a qualitative change in his internal power.

Although he has not yet sparred with a Great Dao realm strongman, Su Yu feels that a single punch could blast a newcomer to the Great Dao realm.

If he gives his all, even a demonic genius below fifty thousand li, he could defeat them.

As for those above fifty thousand li, Su Yu cannot be certain.

Especially in Qing Long Hall, many of his advantages cannot create much gap before these heavenly prodigies.

Yet even so, it is already terrifying.

"The flesh body has entered the Dao; now I can begin to elevate my cultivation."

Su Yu takes a deep breath and whispers silently to himself.

The Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique spins wildly, continuously drawing the surrounding Great Dao power into his Ten Thousand Dao Unification.

After two shi chen, Su Yu can feel that the surrounding repelling force against him has become very strong.

Although it is not yet enough to make Su Yu uncomfortable or to kick him out.

But Su Yu also knows that the time left for him may not be much.

He must use this time to strive to improve himself.

Boom—!!!

The Great Wilderness Devouring Heaven Technique reaches its extreme, and endless Great Dao power flows along its direction into Su Yu's Great Dao.

Gradually, vortexes begin to appear in Su Yu's dantian.

And Su Yu's Ten Thousand Dao Unification starts to surge continuously.

As time keeps passing, Su Yu can feel the surrounding power strengthening more rapidly than before.

To the point that drops of sweat begin to fall on Su Yu's forehead.

But outside the River of the Great Dao.

Inner disciples watch Su Yu in the River of the Great Dao silently, and at this moment someone speaks with difficulty.

"Time… has already passed three shi chen."

Everyone's spirit jolts sharply.

Three shi chen, being able to enter the River of the Great Dao for the first time and sustain for three shi chen.

Throughout Qing Long Hall, only the top core disciples or true‑lineage disciples can achieve this.

For a moment, the gazes of the crowd toward Su Yu changed dramatically.

"This guy… is unbelievably terrifying!"

The crowd's spirits are stirred.

Not only that, behind Su Yu, a gray Great Dao slowly materializes.

Ten thousand li!

Twenty thousand li!

Thirty thousand li!

In just one shi chen, Su Yu's Great Dao directly rose to a length of thirty thousand li!

And Su Yu is still persisting!

Four shi chen!

Five shi chen!

Time seems like a dam‑opened river, rushing away.

Su Yu continues to persist.

Countless inner disciples have already become numb; even core disciple Yang Ming stares fixedly at Su Yu, his pupils filled entirely with shock.

"Five shi chen… the highest record in Qing Long Hall seems to be the hall master's record, about five and a half shi chen?"

Someone says tremblingly.

The crowd looks in disbelief at the white figure sitting cross‑legged in the river.

As time passes, an ever‑stronger repelling force envelops Su Yu.

Finally, Su Yu can no longer bear it and bursts out of the River of the Great Dao.

He stands steadily on the bridge deck.

At this moment, time has already passed six shi chen!

Surpassing the hall master's record.

In an instant, the whole venue falls silent.

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu suddenly rose from the bed. Please,

Shi Yu took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confusion and incomprehension, a flood of emotions rose to his mind.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously surveyed his surroundings, and became even more bewildered.

A single‑person dormitory?

Even if he had successfully been rescued, he should be in a ward right now.

And his own body… how could there be not a single wound?

With doubt, Shi Yu's gaze swept quickly across the room, finally resting on a mirror at the bedside.

The mirror reflected his current appearance: about seventeen or eighteen years old, looking very handsome.

But the problem is, this isn't him! Read the latest chapter content without ads for free.

His former self was a handsome young man in his twenties, with an impressive bearing, who had been working for some time.

But now, no matter how he looks at it, this appearance is that of a high‑school student…

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Never tell him that the surgery was a great success…

Body and appearance have both changed; this is no longer a matter of surgery or not, but of cultivation technique.

He has completely become another person!

Could it be… that he himself has transmigrated?

Besides the mirror at the bedside, whose placement was clearly bad feng shui, Shi Yu also noticed three books beside it.

Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly left him speechless.

Beginner Caretaker's Essential Beast‑Raising Handbook

Post‑natal Care for Pet Beasts

Guide to Evaluating Cross‑Species Beast‑Ear Maidens

Shi Yu:???

The titles of the first two books are fairly normal; what's up with the last one?

"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze hardened, he reached out his hand, but his arm stiffened quickly.

Just as he tried to open the third book to see what it actually was, his brain suddenly throbed with a sharp pain, and a flood of memories surged forth.
