Chapter 1134: The Great Dao and the Clear Sky

There were no spectators nearby for the Dao battle in the valley.

At this moment, the lives of the Li Family members were shrouded in shadows. Everything they saw was pitch black.

Space and time were the same.

It became an isolated space-time, like a blind person who couldn't see color.

However, in the distance, there was an existence that was watching this battle.

Within the Dao Immortal Sect, the Poison Monarch looked down at the empty space in front of him.

There used to be two poisonous plants there. One of them had turned into light and dissipated, while the other … had withered and turned into ash.

However, it was clear that what the Poison Monarch saw was not what he saw on the surface. His gaze seemed to penetrate the barrier and see through time and space, as well as the scene in the valley.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Comprehending my legacy means that you are bound by Karma with me. Now, if you kill my disciple, then… the moment the legacy is completed, this karma will truly be completed."

"From now on, your Dao will be guided by this Karma. I can borrow it and not return it."

"Even if the Immortal Venerable doesn't allow me to deduce, my karma is the cause."

......

The Poison Lord's voice could not be heard within the valley. Only Li Mengtu's will to fight continued to burn, growing stronger and stronger.

It turned into a sea of fire, burning everything in its path.

It caused his entire body to transform into a star that flowed in reverse from the earth to the heavens. He transformed into a fierce ray of light that seemed to want to split space apart, and it flickered with the dazzling brilliance of life as he pressed forward courageously towards the blurry outline before his eyes.

His speed was getting faster and faster!

The burning intensified, burning away not only his fleshly body, but also his cultivation base and life force.

The only thing left was the dream, which became the only thing, the driving force, the obsession.

He, Li Mengtu, might not have lived a righteous life, but his actions were always upright, especially when it came to Dao battles.

Because he respected the Dao.

Therefore, he did not allow his Dao heart to be tainted by dust, nor did he allow himself to lower his head.

Because of this, he had been working hard to cultivate since he was young. He wanted to go higher, he wanted to see the scenery of the sky, he wanted to step onto the constitution that represented a higher level.

He wanted to prove it to his family, his master, and the world … Even though he wasn't a native cultivator of the fifth ring, his desire to seek the Dao hadn't wavered in the slightest.

In fact, he wasn't any weaker than any of the other stars on the fifth ring.

He could make his family rise, he could walk to the peak, he could step into the Immortal Capital of his dreams!

Even if he knew that he was as laughable as a moth in the eyes of some people.

But so what?

Death was never scary.

The most terrible thing was … he couldn't sense the Dao.

The measurement of life would never be length.

Thus, even though he had thrown himself into the fire, even though he knew that he would definitely be burned, he still chose to fight to the very end.

The loss of the inheritance was directly related to his life. He knew that the moment Xu Qing appeared, his fate was already sealed.

Since that was the case … if he were to die in the Dao, he would be able to live up to all the blood and sweat he had put into his journey. He would be able to live up to the expectations of his clansmen, and he would also be able to live up to all the opponents who had fallen in the battle for the Dao.

Rumbling sounds could be heard!

Like a blooming flower, it bloomed in the sky.

But alas …

Dreams often sigh in their hearts, and most of them write their regrets.

His spells, his divine abilities, all of his efforts, all of his burning, all of his burning, were unable to touch the figure in the eye at all.

Xu Qing stood there, as if he was outside the heavens, in a different space-time.

No matter how hard Li Mengtu tried, he still couldn't touch it.

His Death Curse Authority could change the color of heaven and earth, cause the clouds to surge, and cause a shocking amount of death energy to surge from all directions.

It could transform demons and monsters, and turn nothingness into the underworld.

The mournful wails echoed in the air.

But … at this moment, it was empty.

If he couldn't touch his opponent, he wouldn't be tainted by karma.

It was as if there was only one person's cry echoing in this lonely world.

His Heavenly Lightning Authority could only roar beside him, and the sea of lightning that it had transformed into was still completely useless.

Even though he was telling the truth and interrogating the person before him, he was unable to obtain any answers. It was as if the person he was interrogating was not in this world.

Therefore, the Immortal Flood was also attracted, and the aurora also fell. Perhaps what was attracted was only the appearance, and those that could fall were mostly illusions.

For a cultivator without a constitution, all of this could be considered sharp, but for a cultivator with a constitution, it was just a puppet show with flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Therefore, the flower in the mirror did not reflect Xu Qing.

Therefore, it was futile to undo the formation that sealed the deity and reveal the right hand of the deity.

The God's Hand that had once looked terrifying, rough, and purplish-red. It was covered with tentacles and eyes, but in the end, it was just a broken hand. The Godly Right it contained was not a Godhead.

Therefore, he was no longer ferocious.

The foreign substance and the whispers also lost their strangeness.

Only bitterness remained.

All of his efforts, all of his eruptions, even if he burned his life force, he still couldn't touch Xu Qing at all.

He could vaguely "see", but he could not touch it.

This was the Dao.

Just like the people in the painting, no matter how they jumped, how angry they were, or how they attacked, they couldn't hit the existence outside the painting.

In the end … the Great Dao is like the blue sky, and I can't reach it alone.

He could only do it over and over again. He could only keep trying, working hard, and exploding.

He wanted to break the "painting" in front of him and blast away the formless thing in front of him.

In the end … if he didn't get it, he wouldn't succeed.

In the end, he left behind a bitter taste in his mouth. Exhausted, he returned to the starting point. He lifted his head from the valley and looked at the blurry silhouette in the sky. He was in a daze.

After a long time … Li Mengtu closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he swallowed the bitterness and took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Please excuse me. I lost my composure just now."

"It's fine.

“

Xu Qing said calmly.

From the beginning to the end, he had not made a single move. At this moment, he deeply understood that to a certain extent, the Constitution could also be seen as a kind of qualification.

The qualification to walk out of the painting.

"Today's Dao Battle ends here.

“

After a short silence, Li Mengtu calmly said.

"In my life, I've fought against different opponents in different Cultivation Stages. Every time I won, I would ask them if they had any last wishes, and then I would fulfill them."

"You don't have to be like me, but I do have two last wishes."

Li Mengtu didn't care whether Xu Qing would respond or not as he continued to speak.

"One is Daoist Qing Yang, the one who fought with me just now. His Qing Yang lineage has many generations of enmity with my Li family. In the history of the Li family, there was once when the Li family was in danger of being exterminated, and it was because of the Qing Yang lineage."

"That's why I've been searching for Qing Yang all these years. Now that I've found him, it's a pity … he escaped."

"If possible, please help me kill him."

With that, Li Mengtu sat down and took out a pot of wine. He took a sip and continued speaking.

"The second wish is to help me go to a place."

"It's a mystic realm."

"According to the legends, there should have been twelve Immortal Lords in the Fifth Star Ring, not eleven. That's because, for some unknown reason, the number one Immortal Lord in the Fifth Star Ring chose to rebel."

"This Immortal Lord is called Aurora. He was once known as Immortal Lord Aurora."

"It is said that the Aurora of the fifth star ring is also related to him. Back then, this Immortal Lord rebelled and was killed by the Immortal Venerable himself. Then, his spirit fell to the ground and became the Aurora.

“

And the place where it landed, called Immortal Fall, is in our western territory.

"The spirit tide there will rise irregularly, spitting out the secret keys and scattering them in the west. When the number of the secret keys reaches forty-nine, the spirit tide will reach its peak."

"For the cultivators of the fifth ring, it's an opportunity for good fortune. According to the judgment made decades ago, it will open soon."

"At that time, there will be forty-nine keys. Each key can be held by two people to obtain the opportunity."

"I once wanted to go there to obtain opportunities, but now, I can no longer do so. I hope you can do it and go even further."

"Since that's the case, I can also be considered a resource for you to reach the Dao. My death is meaningful."

With that said, Li Mengtu opened his left hand and a jade carving of a fish appeared in his palm.

"This is the secret key I obtained."

After doing this, Li Mengtu took a deep breath and looked up at the blurry outline in the sky again.

"Fellow Daoist, I wish you all the best!"

As he spoke, he raised his left hand into the shape of a claw and pressed it against the petal at the center of his brows. His fingers pierced through his skull, his soul, his life, and the half of the Flower of Legacy that was tightly connected to him …

He plucked it off in one go!

The moment he pulled it out, a hole appeared on his forehead. Blood poured out, and his life force rapidly faded away.

"Take it!"

With a flick of his wrist, the half Heritage Flower flew into the sky and floated in front of Xu Qing.

As for Li Mengtu, he sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and his head bowed as he felt death engulf him.

Up in the sky, Xu Qing looked at the half Legacy Flower in front of him. After a moment of silence, he lifted his right hand. Instead of grabbing the flower, he placed it on his forehead.

He tugged lightly.

Immediately, the flower petal on his forehead was wiped away, and appeared in his palm.

With the support of the Eighth Extreme Space-Time constitution, the Inheritance Flower's removal wouldn't affect Xu Qing at all. He waved his hand, and the remaining half of the Inheritance Flower flew toward Li Mengtu's flower.

The moment they touched each other, they fused together.

The twelve petals reached perfection, forming the complete inheritance.

Then, he flicked it lightly.

The Legacy Flower transformed into a beam of light that shot toward Li Mengtu's forehead and then fused into it.

Li Mengtu's body trembled. His originally dissipating life force suddenly reversed and his aura rose. His eyes suddenly opened and he looked at Xu Qing in disbelief.

"You …"

"This Dao is of no benefit to me. It is also your Karma. Since you want to know the meaning of the constitution, I will give it to you."

"As for the people you want to kill, kill them yourself.

“

Xu Qing said indifferently before turning around and walking towards the horizon.

In the valley, Li Mengtu was silent.

Looking at the direction where Xu Qing left, he suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, extracting a wisp of life force that was related to his life.

Send him to the Firmament.

"Xu Qing, this is my life. You can take it at any time!"

In the sky, Life Force flew over to Xu Qing. Xu Qing quickly collected it and waved his hand at Li Mengtu.

He walked further and further away.

Only Li Mengtu was left in the valley, looking around as if a lifetime had passed.

"This is the grace of the Great Dao."

.....

At the same time, in the Dao Immortal Sect, the Poison Monarch's expression turned dark and cold as he watched this scene.

His aura spread out, and the flowers and grass in the surrounding fertile fields silently collapsed, turning into dust and turning into a storm.

It swept in all directions.

Within the storm, Poison Monarch closed his eyes.

After a long moment passed, the tempest faded away. Poison Monarch stood there calmly, looking off into the distance with narrowed eyes.

"Is it because you're not greedy, or because you don't like them …"

"Using this method to break the situation, I didn't succeed in borrowing his Dao. Instead … he borrowed my layout and turned it into his own Dao!"

"Interesting, interesting."
