Chapter 689 Abnormal Changes in the Dao Embryo
Cultivation takes no time.

Especially after doing the Daozi.

Spirit stones were plentiful, elixirs were plentiful, and cultivation techniques were plentiful; Li Rui could practice as much as he wanted. This was a level of treatment Li Rui had never received in his hundreds of years of cultivation.

So he spent almost all his time in seclusion.

In the blink of an eye.

That was twenty years.

"This is... Chaos Qi?"

This day.

As Li Rui was contemplating the Chaos Diagram of the Great Dao, a wisp of black energy suddenly emanated from his Dao Embryo. Unlike the cold and evil aura of those demonic cultivators, it was righteous and peaceful, seemingly capable of encompassing all things.

That is precisely the chaotic energy he is contemplating.

Nothing!
Li Rui's eyes widened immediately.

'Could it really be possible to cultivate a Chaos Body this way?'

Think of this.

His heart was pounding.

Everyone knows that the Chaotic Body is the limit of all physical constitutions in the world.

Even a wisp of chaotic energy is a great fortune.

Li Rui suddenly felt his mouth was dry.

He originally only intended to use the Chaos Diagram of the Great Dao to temper his Dao Embryo, but he never expected that he would directly refine a wisp of Chaos Qi.

This was truly unexpected.

This wisp of chaotic energy may not have any immediate effect, but it proves one thing: tempering the Dao embryo can indeed produce a chaotic body!
The theory is feasible; the next step is to put it into practice.

However, the Chaos Body still requires a lot of accumulation; for now, we just need to proceed step by step steadily.

Li Rui suppressed his excitement.

After twenty years of hard work, the progress has been tremendous.

His soul and Dao embryo have already merged more than halfway.

This is only because he spent time refining his Dao embryo; otherwise, it could have been even faster.

But now it seems.

It's worth spending more time, otherwise how could one cultivate this chaotic energy?

Thinking.

Suddenly the light of day went out.

It's noon, the brightest and most beautiful time of day, yet it's as dark as night.

Li Rui walked out the door.

Then we saw countless stars fall, forming a meteor shower.

A low murmur came from the heavens, as if mourning for someone.

Tao mourning!

Upon seeing this, Li Rui's pupils contracted slightly.

What is before us is clearly a sign of the fall of a Dao Fruit, causing heaven and earth to grieve.

'A virtuous ruler has fallen!'

Li Rui gasped in shock.

The fall of a Dao Lord is a major event in the cultivation world.

It's not just about a power, but also about one's position.

This means that the position corresponding to that Dao Lord has become vacant, and a new Dao Lord can be born.

This will undoubtedly unleash a bloody storm in the cultivation world.

His eyes flickered.

Then they walked down the mountain and headed towards a small hill in Baiyujing.

“Fellow Daoist Changqing, that fallen Dao Lord was one of the two Dao Lords of the Divine Profound Sect.”

Liu Qing sighed.

The fall of a Daoist master often causes turmoil in a province.

Coincidentally.

The one who fell this time was none other than the Dao Lord of the Divine Profound Sect.

This is not good news.

There was originally a delicate balance between the three righteous sects and the two demonic sects in Taihua Prefecture. This balance was, of course, because the number of Dao Lords among the top forces was roughly equal.

But now that a Dao Lord of the Divine Profound Sect has fallen, it means that the balance has been broken.

Chaos is about to break out.

In addition, cultivators from other states also come to Taihua State to seek the fortune of a fallen Dao Fruit.

This would be extremely disadvantageous for Bai Yujing. If not handled properly...

It's possible that Taihua Prefecture will become like Youming Prefecture in the north, completely dominated by demonic and evil cultivators.

It is said that weak male cultivators there became spiritual medicines, and female cultivators became cauldrons.

That's terrifying.

Liu Qing's father was a True Lord, so he was able to know many inside stories that ordinary people did not know: "The lifespan of a Dao Lord varies depending on the level of his Dao attainment. It can be as short as 1,500 years or as long as the Dao Lord of Ten Thousand Years in ancient times. I heard that he lived for two thousand years and was still in his prime."

"The Chongxu Daojun of the Shenxuan Sect is extremely senior and has lived for a full 1,600 years."

"The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws is powerful, and it even has four Dao Lords who have long been eyeing it covetously."

"The only saving grace is that the Wanfa Hall is not united, so there is still a chance to maneuver."

Li Rui nodded.

The Hall of Ten Thousand Laws claims to teach without discrimination, but it has many factions.

It could even be said that it was originally composed of four major sects, with four founding patriarchs.

Therefore.

Righteous sects often gain the upper hand in the battle between good and evil.

However, in recent years there have been rumors that a junior Daoist has the ambition to unify the righteous path, and with the fall of a Daoist on the righteous path, things are even worse.

Liu Qing then smiled again:

"However, Changqing need not worry too much. No matter how rampant the demonic path is, as long as the two Dao Lords are still here, the foundation can still be protected."

Dao Lords rarely make a move, and those who perish in battle are even fewer.

Most Dao Lords actually die when their lifespan is exhausted.

Therefore, a force with a Dao Lord in charge cannot be wiped out as long as the Dao Lord is still alive.

This is an unwritten consensus in the cultivation world.

Li Rui couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had become a Daoist.

Otherwise, if he were to continue traveling the world, he might very well lose his life in the chaos.

Liu Qing just said that.

The foundation will not be lost.

But the situation might be different for the twelve buildings and five cities outside.

Such things have happened before in the history of Baiyujing.

Many city lords and tower lords have perished.

The tenth day after the mourning period.

“Fellow Daoist Changqing, I heard that the Hall of Myriad Laws and the Blood Demon Sect joined forces to attack a branch sect of the Divine Profound Sect. The entire sect was slaughtered and their blood was used as a sacrifice to the banner. Their methods were extremely cruel.”

Liu Qing said.

"These little devils!"

Upon hearing the word "demonic cultivator," Yan Kong's eyes grew even colder.

Adding insult to injury.

Those demonic cultivators clearly dared to do this because they saw that the Divine Profound Sect was weak.

"I heard that Elder Red Eyebrows has already led his disciples to the Divine Profound Sect to provide assistance."

Liu Qing continued speaking.

Although the three righteous leaders of Taihua Prefecture—Baiyujing, Shenxuan Sect, and Xuanfa Temple—are not a monolithic entity, they still understand the principle of mutual dependence.

Once the Divine Profound Sect is forced to close its mountain, the other two sects will certainly not have an easy time.

Therefore, neither Baiyujing nor Xuanfa Temple would stand by and watch Shenxuan Sect be destroyed.

Not only Baiyujing, but Xuanfa Temple also sent eminent monks to provide assistance.

Say it again.

This is a battle between good and evil.

Liu Qing changed his tone: "These things are not our concern for the time being. We just need to focus on our cultivation. By the way, my two brothers, I am preparing to go into seclusion to try to condense my primordial spirit."

"Primordial Spirit?!"

Upon hearing this, both Li Rui and Yan Kong showed envy in their eyes.

Unlike Li Rui.

Liu Qing and Yan Kong are both in the late stage of the Celestial Realm and have cultivated for six Jiazi. Their divine souls and spiritual embryos are already perfected. They are just accumulating and refining their primordial spirit.

Liu Qing's lips curled slightly: "I am 40% confident that I can condense the Xuan Tian Yuan Shen. I estimate that I won't be able to see the two of you for quite some time."

Yan Kong couldn't help but grin.

Xuan Tian Yuan Shen (Mysterious Heaven Primordial Spirit).

Forty percent!

What a monster.
