Chapter 450

"Haha, after a hundred years, the Xumi Yuanjing is finally about to open again."

"The last time it opened, Immortal Venerable Immortal Extinction broke through to the True Immortal realm in one go, becoming the most legendary True Immortal powerhouse in the Xuanhuang Continent; his glory was unmatched at the time, which is truly enviable!"

"Indeed. After Immortal Venerable Immortal Extinction, I wonder which person blessed with good fortune will be able to obtain the Great Dao alone and break through to the True Immortal realm this time."

"That shouldn't be the case, right? True Immortals are hard to become; the entire Xuanhuang Continent might not even produce one in a thousand years. Although the Xumi Yuanjing is mysterious and unpredictable, it's impossible for a True Immortal to be born every time it opens."

"Who knows? We'll know once we go in and see."

Above the Xuanhuang Continent.

Everyone who saw the phantom of the broken stele hanging in the endless sky was extremely excited.

The opportunity has arrived!

Whether one can become a True Immortal depends on this one gamble!

In the Yin-Li Profound Goddess Palace!

Lu Li also appeared from the hall where the precious materials were stored.

In this hall!

He had looked up quite a bit of information related to the Xumi Yuanjing.

Since several thousand years ago, the Xumi Yuanjing had shaken the entire Xuanhuang Continent with the phantom of the evolved broken stele. At that time, even powerful companion fierce beasts had snuck in, using human bodies to enter.

Wanting to get to the bottom of it!

But after several thousand years, no one had ever brought out any news about the Heaven-Opening Broken Stele.

Gradually!

Powerhouses above the True Immortal realm gave up on exploring it.

However, in the dozens of times it had opened, countless powerhouses below the True Immortal realm had obtained benefits from it, and three people had even used it to break through to the True Immortal realm. The most recent person to break through to the True Immortal realm was during the last opening of the Xumi Yuanjing a hundred years ago.

His name was Immortal Extinction!

This completely incited the powerhouses below the True Immortal realm in the Xuanhuang Continent.

"In that case, I fear many people from major forces will enter it."

Lu Li knew very well.

Breaking through to the True Immortal realm!

How much temptation these four words held for martial artists!

Don't look at how easily he could break through!

That was built on the system fusing unparalleled talent. Looking across the cosmic starry sky, the True Immortal realm was the limit. In a vast galaxy, it was a great honor for the human race to produce one True Immortal.

On this Xuanhuang Continent.

A single True Immortal could create a major force, become a guest of honor of the Great Dao Alliance, and control a piece of the starry sky.

It was hard for one person to break through in a thousand years!

The temptation of having a method to break through to the True Immortal realm within the Xumi Yuanjing can be imagined.

Lu Li's eyes flickered.

He looked at the phantom of the broken stele hanging high above.

Two days had passed.

The phantom of the broken stele had stabilized, and in his sight, some people could no longer hold back and flew towards it.

However, Lu Li was not in a hurry.

According to the records in the Yin-Li Profound Goddess Palace, once the phantom of the broken stele stabilized, it would remain open for at least one day, so for him, there was no need to rush.

Thinking this.

His figure flashed, and he arrived in Immortal Venerable Huanling's courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet.

Strands of Great Dao power permeated the air.

Enveloping the entire courtyard, as if endless vitality was jumping, forming a barrier that turned the small courtyard into a place of ultimate sublimation for Dao comprehension.

"This is..."

Lu Li frowned.

He stepped into it.

In the small courtyard, Immortal Venerable Huanling and Ouyang Xue were sitting cross-legged facing each other.

The Qi in their bodies was intertwined.

Strands of Great Dao power surged out from Immortal Venerable Huanling's body, and after circulating through Ouyang Xue's body, they fused and dissipated, and with the fusion of each strand of Great Dao power, the aura in Ouyang Xue's body strengthened by a point.

"Great Dao Body Tempering!"

Lu Li's expression was somewhat complex.

Great Dao power!

Is the most original existence of the Martial Dao!

It can transcend everything, and using it to temper the body indeed has the miraculous effect of condensing the origin and improving cultivation.

But such a miraculous effect.

Is built on the foundation of consuming the Great Dao origin!

Like Immortal Venerable Huanling, using her own Great Dao origin to temper Ouyang Xue's physical origin, she is improving Ouyang Xue's origin cultivation, but consuming her own Great Dao origin.

As one grows, the other wanes!

Once this Great Dao Body Tempering ends, Immortal Venerable Huanling will fall into a long period of weakness, and once the consumption is too great, she may even be unable to recover, completely affecting her Great Dao foundation.

More importantly!

In this process, there will be a large amount of Great Dao origin loss, which cannot be fully utilized.

Therefore!

Although powerhouses above the True Immortal realm can all perform this method.

It is not worth the loss!

Not many people are willing to use it!

In the courtyard.

Seemingly sensing Lu Li's arrival, Immortal Venerable Huanling opened her eyes after the last strand of Great Dao origin fused into Ouyang Xue's body.

"Hehe, Palace Master Lu, you have come?"

"Why must you do this?"

Lu Li sighed and shook his head.

"This is an opportunity; perhaps it can really help her achieve success."

Immortal Venerable Huanling smiled lightly.

With a wave of her hand, she took Lu Li away.

In another courtyard, Immortal Venerable Huanling's voice came again.

"Ten thousand years ago, I helped the Profound Goddess in this way. Back then, to help the Profound Goddess break through to the Emperor realm, I used my own Great Dao foundation as a guide to create a place for Dao comprehension, and then used the Great Dao origin to temper her, which is why the Profound Goddess finally obtained the Great Dao and soared to the heavens."

Immortal Venerable Huanling turned her gaze and looked again at the place of Dao comprehension where Ouyang Xue was.

"The moment I saw this girl, it was as if I saw the Profound Goddess in her youth. At that moment, I knew that this girl was destined to have a connection with my Yin-Li Profound Goddess Palace."

"With this, Senior, even if she wants to break away from the Yin-Li Profound Goddess Palace in the future, it will be impossible."

Lu Li gave a bitter smile.

"However, even if Senior wants her to have a connection with the Yin-Li Profound Goddess Palace, there was no need to do this. After this help, I fear it will affect Senior's breakthrough to the Immortal King realm."

As early as when they met.

He had sensed that Immortal Venerable Huanling's cultivation had reached the limit of the True Immortal realm.

Just one step away!

From breaking through to the Immortal King realm!

That was why he had revealed some of the most original Great Dao in their previous discussions, so that she could gain something.

After all!

He had indeed violated the words of the Nine-Mystical Profound Goddess's inheritance.

Just returning the Nine-Mystical Profound Goddess's inheritance was not enough.

That was why he wanted to help her break through to the Immortal King realm, so as to completely end this karma.

He did not expect that this Immortal Venerable Huanling not only did not use this to break through, but instead consumed her Great Dao origin to help Ouyang Xue, completely cutting off her hope of breaking through to the Immortal King realm.

"Hehe, I appreciate your good intentions."

Immortal Venerable Huanling's eyes were smiling, as if she had long seen through Lu Li's thoughts.

"You probably don't know yet, do you? I actually gave up hope of breaking through to the Immortal King realm long ago."

"Why?"

Lu Li's expression changed.

But the next moment, he seemed to understand something, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be because of that time you helped the Nine-Mystical Profound Goddess?"

"It was that time."

Immortal Venerable Huanling nodded lightly.

"That time was too urgent. I wanted to force the Profound Goddess to break through to the Martial Emperor realm and suppress the younger generation of the Xuanhuang Continent, which in the end damaged my own Great Dao and completely lost the hope of breaking through to the Immortal King realm."
