Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 693 Divine Treasure Sky-Escape Boat, Li Yuan's Sacred Body! (Two Chapters Combined)

After setting down all the magical treasures, the Mirage Infant hurriedly returned to its cave with the elixir given to it by Li Yuan. It was unclear whether it was to refine magic or to play with the Knowledge Sphere.

Li Yi then took the bone bracelet to feed the bone demon.

Hanging the small white gourd, which had fallen silent after gaining a bit of magical power, on his waist, Li Yuan then began to take stock of all the spiritual items that the little dragon had gone to buy.

The Spirit Treasure-level White Bone Demon Mountain, and some ordinary divine runes that may be used for refining techniques in the future.

Finally, there were three top-grade spiritual treasures and several ordinary magic treasures.

All of these add up to nearly a thousand small merits!
The baby Shen, carrying the money to Tian Shi Yuan, was trembling with fear. When he returned, he seemed to have been granted a pardon.

"The Taixu Pavilion's prices are really outrageous."

As he played with those three top-grade spiritual treasures, even the now wealthy and powerful Master Li felt a pang of regret.

Most of the 1,000 merits were spent on these three top-grade spiritual treasures.

The reason is simple: these three superior spiritual treasures contain far more divine restrictions than the Azure Thunder Dragon, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them superior among their respective ranks.

【Great Void Diagram (Eleventh Order)】

【Nine-Method Alchemy Golden Crown (Tier 11)】

【The Blazing Sun Ruler (Eleventh Level)】

With a glint in his eyes, Li Yuan sensed the three newly acquired high-grade spiritual treasures.

These three spiritual treasures all contain thirty-two kinds of divine restrictions. If the level of the restrictions were not low, their price could be doubled or even several times higher.

But there's a reason why it's expensive.

For example, the Great Void Diagram contains thirty-two divine restrictions, including functions such as controlling size, teleportation, body protection, enemy detection, immobilization, and mind control. These thirty-two functions can be said to have a wide range of uses.

If it is the lowest quality spiritual treasure, there are only three types.

When cultivators nurture and refine magical treasures, it will deplete their magical power and slow down their cultivation.

Admittedly, the former requires more magical power to refine, but one piece is equivalent to ten low-quality pieces, making it much more cost-effective overall.

However, what Li Yuan valued most was the enhancement these three spiritual treasures would provide to one's talent.

[Void Tempering]

[Nine Methods to Refine the Spirit]

[Seven Yang Boosts Qi]

These three eleventh-level mastery enhancements not only have the effect of synergizing one's talents, but also correspond to the number of the three elements. Individually, they may not be comparable to the Dragon Subduing in the Yellow Springs Diagram, but the combination of the three is probably even more powerful.

"In that case, including the Mysterious Sensing Gourd, the Azure Thunder Dragon, and the Yellow Springs Dragon Map, there are six spiritual treasures with superimposed endowments. If we include the Sky-Escape Boat, then there are seven."

Li Yuan did not include the Xuan weapons such as the Rending Sea Xuan Whale Hammer, because he planned to integrate all the Xuan weapons into the Escape Sky Ship later.

In this way, three leadership positions can still be freed up.

He put the three spiritual treasures, along with a bunch of magical artifacts he had previously set his sights on, into his weapon-controlling space. With a thought, Li Yuan also entered the space.

"Join forces!"

As soon as Li Yuan had a thought, incense began to rise, igniting the Divine Fire Furnace.

The large number of magical treasures he bought with the Mirage Baby were for combining with his troops. Not only that, he planned to combine all the divine weapons and magical treasures he had accumulated over the years!
The incense offerings from the combined soldiers were hardly a significant amount for Master Li at this moment.

"There are over three thousand weapons below the sixth rank, three hundred and seventy-two magic treasures and divine weapons of the seventh rank, sixty-three of the eighth rank, and twenty-three of the ninth rank..."

Li Yuan pondered to himself.

Weapons and magical artifacts of the seventh rank and above rarely have standardized designs, and the success rate of combining them is worrying. But even if the success rate is low, combining three eleventh-rank weapons is considered a success.

"Om~"

With a thought, Li Yuan caused the flames in the weapon-combining furnace to roar, and weapons and magical treasures disappeared into it under his gaze, rising from low to high.

Success or failure.

Li Yuan remained unmoved, focusing solely on igniting the divine furnace fire. The various divine weapons and magical treasures piled on the gray stone platform diminished at a visible rate.

Before long, accompanied by a deep roar, after several failures, the first eleventh-tier divine weapon flew out of the furnace.

【Mysterious Whale Gourd (Tier 11)】

[...All kinds of magical treasures and divine weapons were forged from a massive amount of incense offerings in a furnace of divine fire. Although their divine protection was damaged, their spiritual power remained undiminished...]

[Conditions for Controlling the Army: Bloodline of the Commander]

[Control Effect: Tier 11: Physical Talent]
Tier 10: Hammer Technique Talent

Magical treasures are not suitable for combining with other weapons. Even if magical treasures contain the exact same divine restrictions, there is still a considerable chance of failure when combining them. If a magical treasure and a divine weapon are combined, the failure rate is even higher.

Over the past few years, Le Yuan has occasionally joined forces with his troops, and he was well aware of this, which is why he rarely joined forces with his troops before.

"not bad."

Li Yuan toyed with the strange-looking iron gourd for a moment, then tossed it toward the Commander of Soldiers, before continuing to gather his troops.

"Om~"

"Om~"

"Om~"

The light flickered on the gray stone platform, and after several failures, eleventh-tier Xuan weapons flew out of the furnace one after another.

Including the Xuanjing Gourd, there were a total of four, one more than he had expected.

"Unfortunately, the effect of controlling this mouth has nothing to do with talent."

With a slight sense of regret, Li Yuan tossed one of the treasures into a corner, then threw the other three high-grade spiritual treasures into the weapon-wielding talisman before opening his eyes.

"Om~"

The little mouse, who was cultivating in seclusion in the courtyard, heard the noise and poked its head out. It saw a huge flying boat lying across the sky, its aura seemingly ethereal, as if it would merge into the void at any moment.

Call ~
On the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Boat, Li Yuan took out all the Xuan weapons and placed the incense he had exchanged in front of him.

Then, they began to combine their forces.

With three thousand merits in his possession, Li Yuan didn't care at all about the consumption of incense. He controlled the furnace fire with his magic power and threw one Xuanbing weapon after another into the burning flames.

Demon-Subduing Dragon God Blade, Sea-Supporting Purple-Gold Spear, Great Sun Golden Scale Bell...

Under Li Yuan's watchful gaze, the Heavenly Fortune Mystic Weapons, which could cause bloodshed among martial artists in the Great Fortune Martial World, melted away one by one, disappearing into the small grotto-heaven that was being nurtured in the furnace.

There were no major incidents during this period.

Finally, Li Yuan paused slightly. What was placed in front of him was the Sea-Splitting Mystic Whale Hammer.

Of all the mystical weapons, he had the deepest affection for the Mystic Whale Hammer. He still remembered the joy he felt when he finally obtained this divine weapon after going through countless hardships.

"Woo~"

Li Yuan felt a slight ripple in his heart, and Xuan Whale Hammer responded softly, filled with longing for self-completion.

"call!"

A moment later, Li Yuan threw the hammer into the furnace fire.

"Boom!"

The moment the last bit of Xuanbing merged in, a tremendous roar resounded throughout the entire small cave heaven, and visible shockwaves spread out in layers, tearing apart the sea of ​​clouds.

A powerful aura filled the heavens and earth, startling even the mirage infant, who was engrossed in the sphere of knowledge within the cave, and it couldn't help but peek out.

Above, a dazzling divine light shone, like the midday sun falling from a great height before her eyes. Even with her magical powers, she felt her eyes sting and could not look directly at it.

It took me a while to recognize it.

"The Celestial Ship?"

The mirage infant gazed into the distance and saw a familiar silhouette within the divine light:
"This is the complete Sky-Escape Ship? This... this is probably already a divine treasure!"

"Om~"

Divine light cascaded down like a waterfall, surging and surging, and an inexplicable aura spread out, causing the entire void to tremble, as if this small grotto-heaven could not bear it.

In fact, the small grotto-heaven could not contain the Sky-Piercing Boat that was unleashing its full power, because there was also a small grotto-heaven inside the boat!

This is a small grotto-heaven covering an area of ​​about three thousand miles. It is empty and dilapidated, and apart from a few small hills, there is no sign of life.

However, within this three-thousand-mile radius, there are dilapidated sect archways, which are the former sites of those sects in the Xuanbing Secret Realm.

"It can barely be considered a prototype, perhaps because it hasn't been nourished by magic for too long?"

After taking one look, Li Yuan withdrew.

Inside the bamboo house, he waved his hand, and the Sky-Piercing Boat, as large as a mountain, instantly shrank to the size of a fist, resembling a small boat carved from jade, and landed in his hand.

【Sky-Piercing Boat (Tier 14)】

[...A complete life-bearing star, and all the beings on it, were sublimated in the grand sacrifice, tempered in the temples of the eight directions, and transformed by the aura of the Dao treasures...]

This vessel contains the most intense obsession of countless beings on a life-bearing planet...

[Escape into the void! Escape into the void! Escape into the void!]

【Condition 1 for Controlling the Sea: A disciple of any sect on Riftsea Star, possessing eighty-one levels of mid-grade mana】

[Control Effect: 14th Tier: Void Escape]
[Thirteenth Stage: Shifting, Absorbing Emptiness, Samadhi Fire Essence, Starry Dragon and Tiger, Nourishing Life.]

[Twelfth Tier: Path to the Netherworld, Escape from the Void, Dragon and Tiger Convergence, Spirit of Flame...]

【Condition Two for Controlling the Sea: All Dao Disciples of the Rift Star】

[Control Effect Two: The various divine restrictions that are nurtured within]

[Inner Divine Restriction: ???]

Top grade divine treasure level!
In that instant, Li Yuan sensed an extremely strong will, or rather, an obsession, from the Sky-Piercing Boat.

In a daze, he seemed to see a life-bearing star in deep despair, and the resentment and anger of countless creatures on it.

And the unwavering determination to cross the river at all costs!
"Void Transmission!"

Li Yuan looked at the only fourteenth-level control effect of the Sky-Piercing Boat.

[Escape into the void, and a new world begins.]

[Burning mana allows one to escape into the void; the more mana burned, the farther one can escape, and even array barriers cannot stop one... or one may have the ability to escape into another dimension.]

"Escape into the void..."

With a thought, Li Yuan threw the Sky-Piercing Boat into the Military Record.

"Boom!"

Almost simultaneously, Li Yuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his Niwan Divine Realm began to rumble and vibrate, emitting a groan as if it were overwhelmed.

In that instant, it felt as if the weight of an entire planet had pressed down on us!
"puff!"

Behind Li Yuan, light and shadow intertwined, and the shadow of the Xuan Teng tree suddenly appeared. Among them, the seven spiritual forms roared in unison, and the Five Extremes Temple trembled at the same time, bursting out with five-colored light.

"Shh!"

Li Yuan decisively replaced the Sky-Piercing Boat and surprisingly felt a long-lost sense of fatigue.

"In just a moment, it actually consumed thirteen Kunpeng magic powers and six Azure Emperor magic powers!"

After a moment's thought, Li Yuan's eyelids twitched violently.

After a spiritual treasure is upgraded to a divine treasure, it undergoes a tremendous transformation. With his current resources, he can wield ten high-grade spiritual treasures simultaneously without any burden. However, the weight of the Sky-Escape Boat far exceeds the sum of the ten spiritual treasures.

"With my current magical power, I can only sustain this for a dozen or so breaths at most, and that's without me actively trying to activate my escape technique..."

"Each time I activate the Void Escape Technique, it consumes at least eighty-one Kunpeng mana. Even at my peak, I can only activate it once!"

Li Yuan was not worried but happy.

The more mana it consumes, the greater the power of this escape technique. It can definitely be used as a life-saving move!

"Moreover, the problem of excessive mana consumption is not without a solution..." Li Yuan took off the small white gourd with a curious expression from his waist and smiled.

The gourd soldiers feed on magical power, so they can naturally use it to store magical power, provided they don't steal it.

"Theoretically, a gourd-shaped Dao soldier of the third realm can hold 810 streams of magical power. With both of them combined, it's enough for me to escape into the void twenty times!"

Li Yuan pondered whether he should raise a few more gourd soldiers, as they would consume magical power but would be quite useful.

But in a flash, he hung the gourd on his waist, sat cross-legged, swallowed a few elixirs, and began to recover his magical power.

Escaping into the void was an unexpected bonus, but there's nowhere else to use it right now.

His true purpose was to use his various mastery and accumulated talents to explore the legendary innate Dao body.

At the very least, one should strive to further enhance one's own inherent qualities and accelerate the development of one's own Dao body.

……

"call!"

"Suck!"

After a long while, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, dispelled the mist around him, and only after feeling that he had recovered to his peak condition did he begin to sense the weapon-wielding talisman.

The next instant, accompanied by a tremor, light rose from the gray stone platform.

'Great Void Diagram', 'Nine Methods Refining Golden Crown', 'Mysterious Sensing Qi Gourd', 'Azure Netherworld Little Thunder Dragon', 'Dragon Subduing in the Yellow Springs Diagram'... Including the Heavenly Escape Boat, there are ten in total!
This is his strongest 'talent set' so far, which combines spirit, energy and vitality!
"We can try changing our talent!"

Li Yuan swallowed a large number of third-realm spirit pills. The consumption of changing his innate talent was enormous. Although he didn't know if he could continue to change it, it was always better to be well prepared.

"Boom!"

The next instant, an immense pressure, as if a planet were pressing down on them, descended.

Even though he was prepared, Li Yuan's vision went black for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, letting his magic power be severely depleted. With a thought, all kinds of control descended at once.

"Om~"

In an instant, Li Yuan felt as if he were melting.

With his current talent, a single superior spiritual treasure would have a negligible effect on him, but ten of them together would still be extremely powerful.

In just a couple of moments, more than 30% of the elixir he had swallowed had been digested!

"efficient!"

Finally feeling the transformation of his own innate abilities, Li Yuan was overjoyed. He didn't care about the consumption of these spirit pills and immediately opened his mouth to swallow hundreds of various spirit pills.

This is the amount of elixirs he needs for a year of cultivation.

"call!"

The elixir is like adding fuel to the fire.

Li Yuan didn't even feel the elixirs entering his stomach. Each elixir had already vaporized, turning into countless streams of warm air that flowed into his limbs and bones.

"Wow~"

The sound of blood rushing through his body was like a raging storm, audible for miles around.

The divine realm trembled.

Waves surged in the boundless ocean, Yangbing Island trembled violently, and Jiuying suddenly stood upright, its nine heads shaking. On Xuan Teng Island, five-colored light shone brightly, as if it were about to burst into flames.

Dragons roar and tigers howl, unicorns sing their long cries, and the restless mind leaps and bounds, scratching its ears and cheeks...

The seven spiritual realms and the five ancient temples trembled. Amidst the intertwining of various colors, the Xuan Teng Tree slowly grew, its branches and leaves stretching out, like thousands of chains stretching across the sky, suppressing the turmoil in the divine realm.

"Om~"

Feeling the transformation from the inside out, Li Yuan's mind naturally drifted inward, and he saw once again the intertwined divine light of two colors, which was giving birth to the Dao body.

It seemed that because his own innate qualities were slowly changing, Li Yuan keenly noticed the changes.

The speed of the slowly rotating two-colored divine light gradually increased, and the points of light drawn by the two became more and more dense. Faintly, he felt a faint but very clear heartbeat.

"Boom!"

A deep, drum-like heartbeat stirred up waves in Li Yuan's heart, and a sudden tremor rose in his heart, as if a giant beast lurking deep in his soul was about to awaken.

"call!"

But the next moment, everything returned to calm, because his magic power was exhausted and he could no longer bear the blessing of the Sky-Piercing Boat and the nine spiritual treasures.

"feasible!"

Inside the bamboo building, Li Yuan's face was unusually pale. His magical power was almost depleted, and he had consumed most of the hundreds of spiritual pills he had swallowed. Moreover, his energy and spirit had plummeted.

This was the first time he had ever felt so weak since he began practicing the Azure Emperor's Longevity Scripture.

Despite his exhaustion, his eyes were brighter than ever before.

"feasible!"

"By wielding spiritual treasures, I can continue to enhance my talents!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed.

Even if he hasn't yet reached the legendary innate Dao body, as long as he can control and empower it to change his innate talents, then the innate Dao body is only a matter of time for him!

In comparison, the elixirs consumed were negligible.

"If high-grade spiritual treasures aren't enough, then top-grade spiritual treasures should be enough. If that's still not enough, then I'll gather ten divine treasures, or wait for the Commander of Weapons to advance again..."

After a moment of turmoil, Li Yuan let out a long breath, swallowed another elixir, and began practicing his cultivation technique.

……

Early the next morning.

Li Yuan went to the Spirit Pill District to purchase spirit pills.

This time, he bought a large quantity of all kinds of spiritual pills that could nourish essence, energy, and spirit, not just the Refining Pill, Profound Water Pill, Green Wood Pill, and Fire Element Pill.

After that, there were various third- and even fourth-tier spirit rice and spirit beast meat.

After making a large purchase, Li Yuan felt that he should have enough, and then returned to Xiaodongtian.

The days that followed were the same as before.

Li Yuan practices his magic and demonic arts every day, and at night he continues to try to change his innate nature. When his magic power is exhausted, he takes spiritual pills to recover, while visualizing the True Form Diagram.

In the divine realm, the seven spiritual beings practiced various spells.

Compared to previous cultivation, the only difference is the addition of daily, uninterrupted changes in one's innate abilities.

He only occasionally goes to the Battle Hall, but mostly to hone his fighting techniques with Kizaru, and otherwise to collect Yuan coins.

He did not accept any challenge, nor did he enter the battle arena again.

In the spectator area, his various battles attracted a lot of viewers, though not as many as at his peak, but still far more than before his battle with Chao Xuanlong.

The number of minor achievements decreased from two or three to five or six per day. After three or four months of this, the number of spectators gradually decreased, but it still remained at one or two minor achievements per day.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

[...Over the course of fifteen days, a total of 17,000 people watched your...battles, earning you 8.3 million Yuan coins...]

"Only eight minor merits remain on the fifteenth day..."

Li Yuan remained unmoved. After more than a year, even the greatest popularity had faded, and a decline was inevitable.

He stared intently at the battle rankings on the star screen. Less than half a year had passed since the rankings were finalized, and the rankings had hardly changed.

Lin Yue remains at the top of the list, Wu Er is still second, and his ranking, after climbing to twenty-first place more than a year ago, slipped by four or five places before stabilizing until now.

"If we can defeat Lin Yue before the rankings are finalized, the rewards should be no less than what we've gained this time, right?"

Silently closing the Knowledge Sphere, Li Yuan took a deep breath, took out various elixirs from his weapon-controlling space, lit incense, and released the White Bone Demon Guardian.

He has always been meticulous in his self-cultivation, and today, his talent will undergo another transformation, giving birth to his own Dao body ahead of schedule.

"call!"

"Suck!"

As he swallowed the elixirs, Li Yuan's breathing became long and steady. Two small gourds perched on his shoulders, ready to replenish his magical power at any moment.

"boom!"

With all sorts of power and influence over him, a tremendous roar echoed in Li Yuan's heart.

He seemed unaware of what was happening, his mind focused on the point where the two divine lights intertwined, and the deep, rhythmic sound of his heartbeat filled his senses.

He could even vaguely see the Dao body that was gradually being conceived amidst the intertwining divine light.

"Hold on!"

Li Yuan calmed his mind and continued to promote the transformation of his innate abilities with a calm attitude.

The elixir he swallowed transformed into hundreds of streams of heat that flowed into his limbs and bones, while mist gradually rose around him and slowly spread to the bamboo house and mountains.

"Boom!"

As the deep heartbeat emanated from his body, the two gourd soldiers, who had been preparing for a long time, exchanged a painful glance and transferred the stored Azure Emperor's magic power back into Li Yuan's body.

"call!"

Li Yuan's slightly rapid breathing calmed down again.

Meanwhile, the heartbeat within him, seemingly emanating from the depths of his soul, grew increasingly violent, initially like a drumbeat, gradually turning into a rumbling thunder...

Suddenly, a tremendous sound, like a planet being destroyed, exploded!

"Boom!"

Li Yuan felt a violent tremor in his body and mind.

His five senses vanished, and all he could see was the dazzling divine light. The two colors of divine light collided and intertwined, spinning violently like a millstone.

In less than a fraction of a second, Li Yuan felt as if he had 'opened' his eyes.

In that instant, what lay before him was no longer the bamboo house, the small grotto, or Dongxuan Mountain, but an endless, deep darkness, so dark that it seemed as if nothing existed.

In a daze, he could no longer perceive his own existence; his gaze simply wandered along the boundless darkness.

"Buzz!"

It felt like a few moments, yet also like an extremely long time.

Li Yuan seemed to hear a sound, and then the darkness dissipated, replaced by an extremely bright day!

"That is……"

At that moment, Li Yuan's heart and mind trembled.

In a daze, in that infinitely high and distant place, he saw two celestial bodies so huge that they were indescribable, like the sun and moon, but even larger than any sun or moon.

Behind those two celestial bodies, he vaguely seemed to see an incredibly terrifying figure; those celestial bodies seemed to be His eyes.

Is it night when your eyes are closed, and day when your eyes are open?
"Candle Dragon?"

In what seemed like a fleeting moment, Li Yuan saw the 'daylight' fly away, like the first ray of light after the creation of the world, piercing through the eternal night!
……

"Dang~"

In the secluded bamboo forest, Ling Shu Tong Zi seemed to sense something and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest. He saw the Bitter Sea Bell swaying gently, and the tightly closed bamboo door slowly opening.

Wisps of chaotic mist flowed out from the void, and a Taoist priest with white hair and a ruddy face, wearing a crane cloak, slowly walked out. Wisps of mist surrounded him, making it impossible for anyone to see his true face.

"Young Master!"

Ling Shu Tongzi cried out in surprise and knelt on the ground more than ten miles away.

The Taoist's gaze, however, passed through him and looked down at Dongxuan Mountain.
