Follow the path of Dao from infancy

And this transformed Dao Power was absorbed by the flesh, merging into the body.

The flesh was undergoing transformation, gradually enhancing from a grade comparable to the precious Saint Heart.

One must know that Dao Power is indestructible, this is an ironclad law!

If one can integrate Dao Power into the flesh, permeating each other like water mixed with sand, the physique will reach an unimaginable level!

As the Qi Force kept permeating, the Dao Power also kept transforming, and time silently slipped away.

The Heaven and Earth Vein gathered a massive amount of Qi Force, continuously transforming and blending into the flesh.

His flesh was ceaselessly tempered and strengthened. Compared to before, the parts of the flesh into which Dao Power had been injected became like sand mixed with cement, solidifying to become indestructible.

Should he encounter those six from the Dao Law Realm from before, Li Hao felt that even without entering the Transform to Immortal state, relying solely on his flesh, he would be able to stand firm within their Dao Domains, untouched by the laws!

Li Hao, while cultivating and transforming, reflected upon the Cultivation Techniques that had been extrapolated.

The first one that caught Li Hao's eye was the "Stone Skin Hundred Refinements" Cultivation Technique he had randomly chosen.

As the comprehension of his Physical Body Dao continuously increased, this Cultivation Technique was also being extrapolated and elevated. From an Inferior Grade Skill of the Mortal Realm, it had become a top-tier Body Refinement Peerless Skill. Now, it had turned into an exaggerated Daoist level Cultivation Technique!

The name had also changed to "Taoist Body Melting". Continue your adventure at My Virtual Library Empire

The Dao Power that had been absorbed into the body silently operated according to this technique, making the flesh become more refined.

...

...

While Li Hao sat at the Heavenly Gate Pass immersed in Tao Comprehension cultivation, suddenly, the calm Heaven and Earth Energy above the Imperial Palace in the distant Imperial City erupted into turmoil.

Sensing this odd fluctuation, Emperor Yu, who was in the Imperial City attending the early court, slightly stirred, lifted his gaze, and seemed to peer through the palace's domed ceiling to the skies above the Imperial Palace.

Quickly, his expression subtly changed and he abruptly stood up.

The ministers in the hall, discussing how to carry out the campaign against Buddhism, were taken aback to see their sovereign rise so suddenly, hastily bowing their heads.

The two who had been proposing and debating were especially startled, breaking out into cold sweat on the spot, fearing that they had said something to anger His Majesty, suspecting that such a reaction could lead to the extermination of their entire clans.

But Emperor Yu paid them no heed, instead stepping out of the hall in one stride.

At the same time, at another location in the Gan Tao Palace.

The Daoist Palace here had changed its appearance, the original now nowhere to be seen. Today's Daoist Palace, while differing slightly, was mostly unchanged from the original.

At this moment, in a dark chamber of the Daoist Palace, an oil lamp illuminated the entire dark room.

An elderly man, who appeared to be sleeping while sitting on a cushion, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise, and his figure vanished in a flash, reappearing in the sky outside the Daoist Palace.

Others from the Four Stands Realm, feeling the disturbances from the Imperial Palace not far away, also stepped out one after another, looking on in astonishment.

They saw energies swirling violently above the Imperial Palace, growing increasingly intense, until suddenly, a streak of golden light emerged from the turmoil, like a golden thread!

This golden thread swiftly expanded, propping open a door-like cavity in the void, and with a whoosh, a figure dressed in splendid attire flew out.

Then, one after another, numerous figures continued to emerge.

Outside the great hall, Emperor Yu stood with his hands behind his back, gazing upward. Chu Jiuyue hurried to his side, and at this moment, seeing the golden light split open and the figures shuttling out, her face was filled with astonishment, soon turning to delighted exclamation:

"The Immortal Gate has opened!"

"They've returned!"

Excitement tinged her voice.

A thousand years ago, the opening of the Immortal Gate gave many outstanding individuals of the Dayu Divine Dynasty a chance to step through the Immortal Gate and seek guidance from a Saint.

Now, the prodigies who had stepped into the Immortal Gate were finally returning!

They were returning with the fruits of their cultivation!

The thought of how powerful they must have become after a thousand years of cultivating, and the era of strength that the Dayu Divine Dynasty would enter upon their return, was beyond imagination!

"Father Emperor!"

"Imperial Brother!"

Among those emerging from the Immortal Gate, quite a few immediately spotted Emperor Yu outside the court pavilions and swiftly flew towards him.

Emperor Yu, seeing the first woman to fly up to him — resplendent in her attire as if a graceful fairy had descended, her eyes clear and bright as if discerning all the world's secrets — was suddenly before him. She floated lightly, without a speck of dust, her very presence exerting a solemn pressure on those around her, making everything else seem small and powerless.

Although her facial contours had changed from the 16 or 17-year-old girl's to a stunning noble woman, Emperor Yu recognized her at a glance as the most talented among his many daughters.

"It seems you've fared quite well on the other side."

Emperor Yu sensed the Dao Power emanating from her, hidden yet with an underlying surge like an abyss, seemingly capable of raising tempests with a slight outburst.

She had already reached the Tao Comprehension Realm... and it seemed, the Dao Law Realm.

Reflecting on the past years when she was only at the Heavenly Human Realm, a thousand years had passed, and she had become a being of the Dao Law Realm.

Moreover, to progress from the Dao Law Realm to the Saint Realm, one needed the help of Incense Fire, which required a long time to collect. Perhaps she had reached the Dao Law Realm long ago but was hindered by this, unable to Entering Saint.

Seeing the joy and smile in his father's eyes, Jiang Ziyan's lips also curled into a smile, her cool demeanor softening as she gently said, "Father Emperor, how has Dayu been these years? Have you been well?"

"All is well, all is well..."

Emperor Yu beamed jubilantly, aware that achieving the Dao Law Realm was not so easy to attain. Without the necessary talent, even after two or three thousand years of cultivation, one might remain stagnant.

"I, Xia Yucheng, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

A young man with a tall stature approached Emperor Yu and bowed slightly.

His aura was contained, but Dao Power was also present.
