Chapter 1123: The Dao Struggle

"Although I can unfurl a sliver of the scroll with all my strength, it can only cover an area of a thousand miles…"

In the forbidden area of the Li family, Li Mengtu narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. Instantly, the scroll in his hand flew out and floated above his head.

It did not unfold, but instead emitted a gentle light that sprinkled down on Li Mengtu's body, strengthening him.

Even when the scroll was not opened, it had a miraculous effect. It could brighten the mind of the person who held it, and it was of great help to one's comprehension. That was why he carried it with him.

At the same time, it was also the trump card he had prepared for this sprint.

Combined with the Li family's 9000 Tall Pagodas, his comprehension ability instantly increased.

"I originally planned to use it later, but now … I can only bring it forward!"

Li Mengtu took a deep breath. He knew very well that the inheritance his master had given him was somewhat different from the ones in the other three regions.

This inheritance was unique and could only be obtained by one person!

If the comprehension was scattered, neither of them would be able to truly grasp it.

"It doesn't matter who this person is. His actions are already a fight for the Dao."

"Even if there was no enmity between us before, now … we are absolutely irreconcilable!"

Having reached this point in his train of thought, Li Mengtu's eyes flickered with resplendent light. Ancient magical symbols flickered within them as he looked at the Inheritance Flower in the sky. Enlightenment rose up in his heart.

The fourth petal between his eyebrows was also completed in an instant. The fifth petal was also rapidly forming.

He needed to fight for more and gain an advantage. Then, he would leave this place and look for the person who was fighting for the Dao with him.

Take back his legacy!

And there was only one way to get it back.

Behead!

Thinking up to this point, Li Mengtu stopped thinking about it and immersed himself in comprehending. With the help of the 9,000 High Pagodas and the mysterious scroll that was passed down in his family, his comprehension ability soared.

Soon, the fifth petal appeared on his forehead!

However, of the twelve petals in the sky, only four remained.

But in the next instant … one of them disappeared. Only three remained.

The missing piece appeared between Xu Qing's brows, who was sitting cross-legged on the main cliff.

Four flower petals rotated on his forehead as the Dao of plants and vegetation flowed through his heart. His understanding of the toxicity of the Legacy Flower continued to grow.

He instinctively raised his hands and performed a series of incantation gestures in front of him. Numerous illusory medicinal herbs appeared, circling around each other, sometimes fusing together, sometimes separating.

Just like that, time passed again.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

A fifth petal suddenly appeared on Xu Qing's forehead.

At the same time, far to the east, Li Mengtu, who was on the tower in the forbidden zone of the Li family, also had the sixth petal formed between his eyebrows.

At this moment, the Flower of Inheritance was completely blurred in the sky, and only one petal could be vaguely seen!

Thus, in an instant, two red threads spread out from the remaining petals in the sky. One landed on the main cliff, and the other landed in the Li family's forbidden area.

Xu Qing and Li Mengtu were fighting each other across an endless distance.

Both sides were moving very quickly, relying on each other's comprehension and absorption methods. The only remaining petal was rapidly dissipating.

Half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, a thunderous roar echoed across the entire Western Star Field.

The Sky Dome Inheritance Flower had completely disappeared.

As it disappeared, the darkness in the sky gradually dissipated, and the hidden crimson aurora began to reappear.

This scene fell into the eyes of the other people in the Western Region who held the tokens. They understood that the inheritance … was over.

"This inheritance segment doesn't give anyone a chance to comprehend it. I think only Li Mengtu is qualified to do so."

"It's fine as long as everyone has a tacit understanding of this matter. There's no need to say anything more. This inheritance was prepared for him in the first place, and it's the same for the other three parties. It's just that there's an additional layer of fig leaf."

"This is the hierarchy. We can't do anything about it."

"Hey, can't say, can't say."

Complicated discussions filled the air as the Western Domain appeared. The light emanating from the 9,000 pagoda in the Li Clan's restricted area began to fade. Eventually, the light faded away, and Li Mengtu rose to his feet.

Between his eyebrows, there were six and a half petals!

The six pieces were complete. As for the extra half, it was the seventh piece that had yet to form.

At this moment, it was still blurry. It seemed like it had only reached fifty percent.

Standing there, he raised his hand to touch the space between his eyebrows.

A murderous aura erupted from his body and enveloped the surroundings, freezing everything in the area.

Black snowflakes appeared out of nowhere and scattered in all directions.

"Then I'd like to see who you are!"

The killing intent in Li Mengtu's eyes was intense. As the only star in the entire Western Region, he was confident that no one in his generation was his match.

Even if he encountered a late-stage Sovereign, he would still be able to seal and kill them with the help of his family's heirloom.

Having reached this point in his train of thought, Li Mengtu's body flickered. The sky seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Terrifying energy surged out, and a frigid wind kicked up as he shot toward the Dao Cliff.

There was no need for a teleportation array.

Although the distance from here to the Main Dao Cliff was extremely far, as a cultivator of a star and an Lower Immortal disciple, he had many treasures on him.

One of them allowed him to teleport across a large area without having to go to the ancient teleportation portal in person.

As he charged toward the Dao Cliff, Xu Qing's eyes snapped open.

There were five and a half petals spinning on his forehead.

A feeling of enlightenment appeared in his heart, and along with it came a strong sense of danger.

This sense of crisis made Xu Qing sigh in his heart.

This was within his expectations.

While he was trying to gain enlightenment, he saw a strand of the Heavenly Legacy Flower extending toward the east. He knew that after the enlightenment segment, there would be an eighty to ninety percent chance that a fight would break out.

As for the other party's identity, he had more or less guessed it.

"There are only two threads in the entire Western Region, which means that there are only two people who have comprehended it."

"The others obviously can't comprehend it. They can't see the Legacy Flower, which means … there are certain conditions to comprehend it."

"Others do not have this condition. I don't know why I have it, but my existence is definitely beyond that person's expectations."

"Based on this, this person's identity … is already very clear. He is …"

"Li Mengtu, the only star in the Western Domain among the eight stars in the fifth star ring!"

Xu Qing stood up. The records of Li Mengtu that he had seen on the map appeared in his mind.

"Li Mengtu was born in the Li family and later joined the Dao Immortal Sect. His master is the Dao Immortal Sect's World Patrolling Immortal."

"Because of his rise to power, his clan went from being weak to being strong. There is a special characteristic of this clan, and that is that all of the direct descendants have the word 'Tu' in their names."

"As for his cultivation, even though he's only at the early-stage Sovereign Realm, he possesses four heavenly authorities. His combat prowess is complemented by the strange techniques he inherited from his clan, and he's been nurtured by his master. He's even managed to slay mid-stage Sovereigns."

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. This information wasn't the latest. Hence, it could only be used as a reference and couldn't be fully trusted.

Thinking about it, the real situation must be more severe than what was recorded in the information.

Xu Qing stood there silently, looking off into the distance. His eyes shone with determination.

Since he had obtained the succession, there was no way he would give it up just because of the danger.

In the battle of the Great Dao, once one gave up, it was equivalent to falling behind.

Falling one step behind would lead to falling behind all the time.

Xu Qing took a deep breath and then shot off into the distance.

He did not choose to stay here.

As a star, the other party must have a lot of trump cards, and his battle prowess must be outstanding.

In the face of such an opponent, even if he had set up a trap here, it would not have much effect.

"If I can form my own eighth extreme…"

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed as he dashed through the sky at full speed, heading towards the nearest ancient teleportation formation.

The place he wanted to go was the Divine Blood River.

"That is the best battlefield!"

"If I win, that would naturally be for the best. If I lose, I also have the option to avoid it."

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's speed became even faster. Vast ripples appeared in the sky as a rainbow whistled through the air.

Several days later.

Above the main cliff, the firmament suddenly roared as a large black hand appeared. The aurora was covered by it, causing all directions to be pitch-black.

Even as the Cultivators on the cliff were astonished, a figure emerged from within the black hand.

A black robe, long black hair, a cold expression, and six and a half petals on his forehead. It was Li Mengtu.

He swept his gaze across the area, and his gaze landed on the spot where Xu Qing had been meditating.

"Binding order, ask the wind!!"

"What is the cultivation level of the cultivator here?"

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion. Suddenly, a gust of wind rose around him and converged into an illusory body.

"Binding order, ask the Heavens!"

"What kind of authority do the cultivators here have?"

His words reverberated through the air. Great waves rippled through the heavens, gathering into a spirit.

"Binding order,, ask the rules!"

"Where did the cultivators of this place go?!"

The laws descended, converging into an eye.

It formed a mysterious existence that stared at Li Mengtu.

The sound of the Dao could be heard.

"Cultivation base is Soul Accumulation, power of the Authorities is nine, and the five elements are the foundation. Time and space are around, and within them are erasure and weirdness. Combat prowess is at the Sovereign, and heads to the South!"

As soon as the voice came out, Li Mengtu's eyes lit up.

"Such an existence …"

He was silent for a moment. When he looked off into the distance again, his killing intent grew even stronger.

Then, with a flash, he charged toward the south. At the same time, the perception of the Immortal Capital Token was fully unleashed.

Wherever they passed, they would instantly approach any light spots they detected to investigate them.

If there was a pair of eyes that could overlook the entire Western Domain, then they would clearly see that as Li Mengtu pursued, the distance between him and Xu Qing was rapidly shrinking.

It was getting closer and closer!

At the same time, in the Dao Immortal Sect of the Western Regions, the Poison Monarch, who looked like an old farmer, was still watering the two poisonous plants in front of him with the Nine Heavens Immortal Elixir.

At this moment, the spirituality of these two poisonous plants was much stronger than before. In order to obtain more nutrients, they were intertwining with each other.

They each unleashed their poisonous stingers and stabbed into each other's bodies.

As they intertwined, they devoured each other.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Poison Monarch's face.

"It doesn't matter who dies. In the end, the one who receives my legacy is my karma."
