Evergreen Immortal.

Chapter 830 Slow and Steady Progress Leads to Unexpected Changes
"almost."

Inside the cave on Mount Taiheng, Li Rui slowly opened his eyes.

Within the Niwan Palace Grotto and the Huangting Grotto, the third halo can already be faintly seen in the [Zhenwu Lin] and [Changsheng Ting].

This is the rudimentary form of the negative chakra.

Once he condensed the Negative Yin Wheel, he became a mid-stage Fusion Body cultivator.

Just as he had predicted.

With the [Longevity Court] supplying the source of immortality, his speed of comprehending the Dao seed is getting faster and faster.

"Every three times there is a hurdle, so it will probably take a while longer to condense the Zhixiong Wheel."

Li Rui thought to himself.

Suddenly——

His eyes shifted.

Just now, a star suddenly lit up above the heavens.

[Refined Weapon]

The [Hundred Refined Weapon], which had been suspended in the air for a thousand years, has returned to the Heavenly Dao.

Yes.

The Hundred Refinements True Monarch actually achieved the Dao Fruit and returned to the position of Dao Monarch!
Even Li Rui was taken aback.

Who would have thought that the most unassuming Hundred Refinements True Monarch would become the first of the five people on the Three Lives Dao Altar to return to the Dao Monarch realm?

Although there is a greater chance that a Daoist would be reincarnated and return to the Daoist realm, it is still shocking.

"It is in the outer heavens."

Li Rui quickly deduced that since the Great Dao of the cultivation world had hardly fluctuated, and the name of the Hundred Refinement Dao Lord had appeared above the Heavenly Dao, there was only one possibility: the Hundred Refinement Dao Lord had attained enlightenment in the Outer Heavens.

"It seems they have received some extraordinary good fortune."

Becoming a Dao Lord is incredibly difficult. For a Hundred Refinements Dao Lord to return to the Dao Lord realm, both strength and opportunity are indispensable.

Beyond the sky.

A bright sun illuminated half the sky.

The Hundred Refinements Dao Lord sat cross-legged high above the heavens, seemingly one with the universe.

He has just survived his tribulation.

Even as he opened his eyes, he still carried an immense, lingering pressure that caused the cultivators who sensed the commotion and rushed over to be unable to withstand it, resulting in large numbers of them kneeling in submission.

The power of the Dao Lord is terrifying.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Bailian."

The first to arrive was an elderly Daoist from Beiyuan Prefecture.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Chong Shen."

Dao Lord Bailian smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. He was in a very good mood after regaining his Dao Lord status. Moreover, he and this Dao Lord Chongshen had known each other in their previous lives.

Subsequently.

Several more figures appeared.

They are all Dao Lords who guard the outer heavens.

Many Dao Lords were secretly surprised. Dao Lord Bailian was not particularly amazing in his previous life, but he was able to regain the Dao Lord status after only two reincarnations, which was truly astonishing.

This can only be attributed to good luck.

There is a high probability that a reincarnated Dao Lord will regain the position of Dao Lord.

But be careful.

But it wasn't said that it would definitely be the next life.

It is already quite remarkable to be able to endure three lifetimes of reincarnation and return to one's original state.

It is rare for Daoist Bailian to attain enlightenment after only two reincarnations. In other words, Daoist Bailian's potential in this life will be even greater than in his previous life, and he may be able to go even further.

It has great potential.

These Daoist masters naturally all had the desire to make friends with them.

"Thank you all."

Daoist Bailian returned the greetings one by one, appearing extremely composed.

But recalling the breakthroughs I've made before still fills me with trepidation.

The difficulty of becoming a Dao Lord lies not only in proving one's Dao, but also in the struggles for the Great Dao from all directions and the scheming of all sides.

When he attained enlightenment in his previous life, the entire Divine Fire Sect behind him had been planning for five hundred years.

And this life.

However, he attained enlightenment alone in the outer heavens.

That's right.

While those who attain enlightenment in the Outer Heavens need not worry about being schemed against by their fellow practitioners, they will face an equally formidable siege by extraterrestrial demons, a situation where survival is a matter of life and death.

When he broke through, he didn't see a single extraterrestrial demon. Daoist Hundred Refinements understood.

It was that immortal who made the move.

'The methods of a celestial being are truly terrifying.'

"I was truly surprised that Daoist Bailian chose to stay in Tianwaitian to guard it."

Taiheng Mountain Villa.

Ji Fan downed the tea in one gulp and sighed.

Among the Three Lives Dao Altar, he actually favored Guanxu Zhenjun the most, after all, he came from the Three Pure Ones Sect and was the most senior among them, the first to condense the Ximing Wheel. Next were Ye Yuan and Li Rui, and the least favored was Bailian Zhenjun.

Unexpectedly, True Monarch Bailian became the first person to break through.

He was quite surprised.

Since Chongyao Prefecture and Jinting Prefecture are close by, he simply went to find Li Rui.

"Daojun, you are truly enviable."

Li Rui spoke slowly.

These are truly my honest thoughts.

Daojun, the representative of the Heavenly Dao, who wouldn't envy him?
"The Three Lives Dao Altar will be short of one person again."

Ji Fan gave a self-deprecating laugh.

The Three Lives Dao Altar was originally a small circle formed among True Lords. Once they all became Dao Lords, the experience of True Lords became useless, so naturally, they had to be separated.

For thousands of years.

That's true for everyone.

Ji Fan then added, "Brother Li, the Hundred Refinements Dao Lord broke through in the Outer Heavens. It has been five thousand years since anyone has formed a Dao Fruit there. It might affect the Heavenly Absolute Array in the Outer Heavens."

"Chaos, chaos, chaos."

He said "chaos" three times in a row.

The Ji family is a large clan with extremely complete records, so they know that Daojun's breakthrough in the Outer Heavens was both a blessing and a calamity.

The Dao Fruit connects with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. If it is stabilized, the Outer Heavens can remain peaceful for thousands of years.

However, if we cannot stop the counterattack of the extraterrestrial demons, it may even affect the fortune of the entire cultivation world.

That's all.

Two Dao Lords from the Ji family have already gone to the Outer Heavens.

At this time, the number of Heavenly Dao Lords outside the heavens had reached a terrifying twenty or more.

Ji Fan then talked to Li Rui for a long time before leaving.

Not long after Ji Fan left, another person arrived at Mount Taiheng.

"Brother Zhong?"

Seeing Zhong Li standing outside the door without knocking, Li Rui was somewhat surprised.

Upon seeing Li Rui, Zhong Li sighed and bowed deeply, saying, "Chang Qing, I'm sorry."

The unprovoked apology made Li Rui frown slightly.

"What happened?"

Zhong Li explained the reason: "There has been a change in the Outer Heavens. All sects and clans in the cultivation world need to send people. The people of the Immortal Dynasty are coordinated by the Human Emperor's Palace. Originally, the Yu Kingdom only needed to send one person, but some people in the court felt that Brother Changqing was too close to my Divine Deer Academy. In addition, Ancestor Burning Heart repeatedly submitted memorials, saying that the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty was coercing the Immortal Sect and breaking the ancestral rules. Therefore, the Human Emperor decided to let the Yu Kingdom send another True Monarch."

"Another True Lord?"

Li Rui squinted.

He also understood why Zhongli had come to apologize.

Zhongli felt that Li Rui was implicated in the internal strife between Shenlu Academy and Shenxu Immortal Dynasty.

Otherwise, the State of Yu would already have a high-ranking ruler in the outer heavens.

Sending two True Lords from a first-rate immortal dynasty is truly bullying.

But since the Emperor's Palace has made its decision, it cannot be changed.

Otherwise, they will be purged.

Li Rui: "This matter has nothing to do with my brother Zhong. If you want to find fault, you can always find a reason."

The official reason given by the Human Emperor Palace was that it was against the rules and would ruin the fortune of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and the Daoist Sect, which were under the Baiyujing.

But actually.

The same applies to the Divine Void Immortal Dynasty and the Divine Deer Academy; such situations are not uncommon.

It's just making a mountain out of a molehill by using the Burning Heart Ancestor as an excuse.

It was aimed at Li Rui, but even more so at Bai Yujing.

The plan is to use the war to delay Li Rui's departure and make Bai Yujing's debut slower.

Slow down, and things will change.
