Shrouding the Heavens: Starting by joining the Holy Land of Yao Guang

Chapter 182 Imprinting the Dao Diagram
Normally, it would take him several months to fully digest what he had just left the realm of creation.

However, under such conditions, his speed of enlightenment increases and his digestion accelerates. Even under normal circumstances, he might only need a month to fully digest it.

This is an exaggerated improvement, and even Li Yao at this moment is somewhat shocked.

Because the range is so large, previously one could only enter the creation field twice a year, but now, there is a minimum guarantee of ten times.

This also means that his cultivation speed will be five times faster than before!
"Could I really create a cultivation legend and attain enlightenment before the age of two hundred? Interesting."

If someone were in the main hall at this moment, they would see an extremely strange scene: the Holy Lord Yaoguang, who had been expressionless, now revealed a crooked smile.

Because he couldn't help it, even though his emotions were suppressed, he still wanted to laugh out loud, but because he couldn't laugh, this is what happened.

……

The thunder roared, like a vast sea of ​​thunder boiling, possessing characteristics of destruction, vitality, sharpness, solidity, and immensity.

The power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder is vast and unfathomable. The five deities, wielding the five great lightning bolts, become even more divine, as if they have transformed into five thunder gods.

The deities are manifestations of the Dao Palace. Now that the deities have undergone such a tremendous change, the Dao Palace has naturally also undergone earth-shattering changes.

Li Yao focused his mind inward, looking towards the location of the Dao Palace. He saw only a vast forest, an endless fire domain, undulating mountain ranges, a golden spear that stretched across the sky and earth, and a vast blue ocean.

The Dao Palace of today bears no resemblance to its former self; instead, it has transformed into the Five Elements World.

The gates of endless potential opened, releasing potential in an endless stream. The chanting grew louder and louder, as if the preaching of a deity came from afar.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Li Yao had been digesting his insights and rebuilding the Dao Palace Secret Realm, pursuing both simultaneously.

The results were astonishing. At least 50% of the vast and profound insights had been digested, and the Dao Palace Secret Realm had reached its limit.

Having digested about 50% of his insights, his emotions had largely returned to normal.

At this time, a major event occurred in the Holy City. The God King of the Jiang family arrived in the Holy City with tens of millions of catties of Origin, and even arranged for Ye Fan to marry a fiancée from an ancient aristocratic family.

When this news came out, the world was shocked.

What was even more unexpected was that the deal actually came to fruition, and the Feng family placed their bet at this time, sending Ye Fan three million catties of Origin.

The two ancient aristocratic families jointly donated 13 million catties of source energy to help the Holy Body break through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

This is definitely the most eye-catching thing in the Eastern Wilderness right now. Everyone is paying attention because if the Holy Body really succeeds in breaking through the barrier, there is a great chance that a Great Perfection Holy Body that can challenge the Great Emperor will appear in the future!

Is the fully realized Ancient Sacred Body about to appear? No one can remain calm.

Even the Yao Guang Holy Land was somewhat moved. If the Ancient Holy Body really crossed the Four Extremes Heavenly Barrier, wouldn't that mean that their Holy Lord would have someone who could challenge him in the future?
The outside world was incredibly noisy, but right now only Li Yao seemed completely unconcerned about this matter, focusing solely on his own cultivation.

After the Dao Palace Secret Realm was rebuilt, Li Yao was also preparing to begin cultivating the Qilin Divine Medicine.

He had obtained this divine medicine seed for so long, but he was still at a loss. He had tried many methods, but none of them could revive the Qilin divine medicine seed.

Now, having cultivated the Five Absolute Heavens of Thunder, and comprehending the boundless vitality of thunder, he may have the hope of reviving the Qilin Divine Medicine.

Li Yao took out a piece of Chaos Soil and let the little purple Qilin take root in it.

"Boom!"

The divine lightning of wood erupted, and emerald green lightning appeared in Li Yao's palm, filling the hall with boundless vitality.

Although it is thunder, the Wood God Thunder does not possess killing power; it only has endless vitality and surging energy.

Li Yao held the emerald green divine lightning in his hand, then pointed his palm at the chaotic soil, and endless lightning burst forth, pouring towards the chaotic soil.

"Wow!"

Emerald green divine lightning covered that chaotic land, and endless vitality surged within it, like spring returning to the earth, nurturing the life of all things.

The little purple Qilin, rooted in the chaotic soil, began to frantically absorb endless vitality after the divine lightning of wood surged in, as if it were a whale swallowing a ton of water.

"There's a reaction!" Li Yao was overjoyed. He had tried many methods, but the Qilin Divine Medicine Seed had never shown any reaction.

This time, however, there was a real and significant reaction. The little purple Qilin swallowed the life force of the Wood God Thunder, and then burst forth with a dazzling hazy purple mist.

The fragrance became even more intense, and the vitality of the little purple unicorn visibly increased.

Although this glimmer of hope was insignificant compared to the miraculous medicine, it at least gave Li Yao a glimmer of hope.

This proves that the method is entirely feasible. Although the progress is slow now, as his understanding of the Dao of Thunder increases and he comprehends more of the mysteries of life, he can naturally accelerate the revival of the Qilin Divine Medicine.

"Since the life force of thunder is effective for the Qilin Divine Medicine, I wonder if it will be effective for the humanoid Divine Medicine?"

Thinking this, he took out the roots of the humanoid divine medicine and planted them in the chaotic soil.

Li Yao stared intently at the roots of the humanoid divine medicine, not missing a single change. Finally, he was delighted to discover that the humanoid divine medicine was also slowly absorbing the life force of the divine lightning, but the speed was outrageously slow.

But compared to no response, the current changes are already very encouraging. Although the pace is slow, there is still hope for recovery.

After observing for a moment, Li Yao withdrew his gaze. At this rate, even the Qilin Divine Medicine would take a long time to fully recover. He only needed to check on it periodically when injecting the Wood Divine Thunder.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a terrifying wave came, and Li Yao was slightly startled. He walked out of the main hall and opened his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye to look towards the western part of the Divine City.

A great battle is taking place there right now.

Many people clearly did not want to see a Great Perfection Saint Body emerge. At this moment, as Ye Fan broke through the barrier, someone made a strong move.

"Ding!"

A figure sat high on a cloud, playing a zither. The music was powerful and resonant, and a fierce aura of killing intent surged forth, roaring and attacking Ye Fan who was breaking through the barrier.

“A puppet.” Li Yao looked at the figure in the clouds and saw through its true form. Someone was controlling a puppet to attack Ye Fan, trying to interrupt his breakthrough.

But this is undoubtedly wishful thinking. Many people don't want to see Ye Fan successfully pass the level, but there are also those who hope he will succeed.

The Crimson Dragon Daoist made his move, his cultivation was astonishing. Although he had not severed his Dao, he was definitely one of the most powerful living fossils. In no time, he suppressed and killed the figure in the clouds.

But this was not the end, but the beginning. Soon, more powerful figures made their moves, and thousands of sword energies surged toward the Dragon Transformation Pool.

And this time it wasn't just one person, but a group of people making their move, from all directions, everywhere.

With a mighty roar, the Peacock King shook the mountains and rivers, and five-colored divine light swept across the heavens and earth, unleashing the full power of a supreme being.

"Click!", "Click!"

From all directions, countless weapons shattered, and the murderous aura dissipated.

Li Yao simply watched quietly as countless powerful figures took turns attacking the Dragon Transformation Pool. He had no intention of getting involved; the Dragon Transformation Pool was teeming with experts, and Jiang Taixu was even overseeing it with the Hengyu Furnace in hand. There was no way anyone could interfere with Ye Fan.

Indeed, the people in the shadows made several attempts, but all failed. They even deployed the incomplete killing formation of the Great Emperor, but it was all blocked by Jiang Taixu with the Hengyu Furnace.

"boom!"

Suddenly, thunder roared, and destructive power surged forth. Li Yao, with his current understanding of the laws of thunder, perceived it even more clearly.

Purple lightning descended from the sky and struck Ye Fan instantly.

"It's a heavenly tribulation! The Holy Body has only just broken through to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, and yet a heavenly tribulation has already descended upon it. This is already comparable to Dong Yaoguang!"

"Could it be that Dong Yaoguang will truly encounter a rival in this life?"

Everyone was stunned, because the Four Extremes Secret Realm had attracted a heavenly tribulation, and now in the Eastern Wilderness, only Dong Yaoguang was certain of it.

Many people speculate that Dong Yaoguang's strength may be related to the fact that he began undergoing tribulations early on, tempering himself with lightning tribulations.

This is not impossible, because ancient books record that lightning tribulation is a symbol of destruction, but if one can survive it, one will reap immeasurable benefits.

Li Yao was also watching the lightning tribulation. Although it was only a minor Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation, the Holy Body contained infinite secrets within the tribulation due to the curse.

Careful study greatly helped him comprehend the laws of thunder, especially the final innate Dao diagram, which was an innate pattern interwoven with heaven and earth, containing the will of the Great Dao.

The path of thunder, in its later stages, inevitably leads to transforming oneself into thunder, enforcing the laws of heaven, and upholding the will of heaven and earth.

Li Yao has now reached the Fifth Heaven of Thunder Dao. If he wants to continue to comprehend it, he needs to study the will of the Great Dao. Only in this way can he reach the pinnacle of Thunder Dao.

The lightning continued to strike, and the terrifying destructive power reached its peak. Even from a great distance, it still terrified people, who were awestruck by its destructive force.

Li Yao, however, watched with great interest, completely absorbed in capturing the imprints within the heavenly tribulation.

Inside the Taoist palace, chanting continued, and the five great deities, wielding lightning, sat cross-legged within the Five Elements World, demonstrating the mysteries of divine thunder.

Observing a true cataclysm of heaven and earth, he drew inferences from similar cases, and his understanding of the laws of thunder was rapidly digested.

Soon, Ye Fan overcame all the heavenly tribulations and entered the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

But at that moment, lightning appeared in the sky again, attracting Li Yao's attention. However, this time it was not Ye Fan's lightning, but the divine silkworm's tribulation.

Compared to Ye Fan's Four Extremes Thunder Tribulation, the Divine Silkworm's Heavenly Tribulation was much weaker. He only glanced at it twice before looking away.

Such a heavenly tribulation was of little use to him in comprehending the Great Dao of Thunder.

Compared to that, he was still more looking forward to the soon-to-appear Innate Dao Diagram.

"They're here!" Li Yao's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at the sky.

At this moment, no one had reacted yet; they were all still in shock at the Holy Body's survival of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Only Li Yao, due to his extraordinary mastery of thunder, sensed that the world was changing.

Not only him, but just two breaths later, Jiang Taixu shouted: "Ye Fan, your tribulation is not over yet."

As a sage of his time, Jiang Taixu may not have possessed the exaggerated mastery of thunder magic as Li Yao, but he sensed the changes taking place in the world.

"What?!" Ye Fan was shocked. He stared at the sky with a solemn expression, and the joy of his breakthrough vanished instantly.

He had clearly already survived the Four Extremes Heavenly Tribulation, and even reached the Four Extremes realm, so how could another Heavenly Tribulation still befall him?

"Be careful, this might be the key reason why the Holy Body can't break through the Four Extremes Secret Realm." Just then, a voice rang in his ears.

"Brother Dao!" Ye Fan's heart stirred slightly as he recognized who had given him the reminder.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the void trembled, as if the sky was about to collapse, and everyone was terrified.

Even Li Yao's gaze was solemn.

He gazed at the boundless sky, and because of his profound mastery of the Dao of Thunder, he could perceive more clearly than anyone else what kind of powerful force it was, a manifestation of the will of Heaven.

Under the moonlit night, innate patterns emerged, intertwining in the sky to form a celestial map of the Great Dao, which slowly pressed down downwards.

This is the form of the Great Dao, containing a terrifying will of heaven and earth, oppressing everyone's nerves and making their souls tremble.

"What is this?" Everyone was trembling. No passersby came out to explain, because they had never seen anything like it before.

"Is this also a heavenly tribulation? But why is there no lightning, only a Dao diagram formed by innate patterns?"

This world seemed to have locked onto Ye Fan, making him an anomaly, not tolerated by heaven and earth. Therefore, the will of heaven and earth appeared, wanting to cut off his path forward.

A divine light suddenly flashed in Li Yao's eyes, golden light intertwined with lightning, as he tried to capture the patterns of the innate Dao diagram and sense the will of heaven and earth.

Of course, the will mentioned here is not a real heavenly way, but rather the rules that exist between heaven and earth.

These rules, however, operate in a peculiar way, as if they possess a will.

"Crash!"

As the pages of the Heavenly Book turned, under Li Yao's mental influence, innate patterns appeared on the pages.

This is cheating. He can't understand those innate patterns because they are too profound, but he has the Heavenly Book, so none of this is a problem. He can just imprint them on his mind and slowly comprehend them.

Ye Fan bled profusely. The Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron roared to the heavens, and golden blood overflowed from his pores. He tried his best to resist the Innate Dao Diagram, but found that his own power was extremely insignificant and could not stop the Dao Diagram from pressing down.

Jiang Taixu also intervened to stop the Dao diagram from falling, aiming to shatter this curse for the Holy Body.

The Innate Dao Diagram only targets Ye Fan and will not attack others. However, it possesses the characteristics of a heavenly tribulation; the stronger the person who blocks it, the greater the pressure they will feel.

Ye Fan was facing a Dao diagram at the fourth level, while Jiang Taixu was facing one at the saint level.

Therefore, Ye Fan was retreating, and Jiang Taixu was also retreating, but they were unable to stop the Dao diagram from pressing down.

Because this is the will of heaven and earth, no one can defy it. Jiang Taixu is very strong, but not strong enough to make heaven and earth helpless.

Unless it is an emperor who takes action, only someone of that level can break this Dao diagram and prevent it from reappearing.

"At this point, perhaps Ye Fan can only destroy this Dao Diagram by running into the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land?" Li Yao was very alarmed.

The more he studied this Dao diagram, the more astonished he became; it was an unparalleled power.

Let alone Jiang Taixu, even if Gai Jiuyou were here now, unless he reached the pinnacle of his cultivation, he would have no way to deal with this Dao Diagram.
