Chapter 1068: Chapter 1062: You Want To Steal My Dao
On the high mountain abundant with spiritual energy, Buddhist runes could be seen everywhere.
The chime of Buddhist bells rang out of thin air, accompanied by the sound of wooden fish and monks chanting scriptures.
Floating a dozen meters above the mountain peak was a mysterious, ancient, and unadorned jade door.
The jade door was slowly pushing open a crack. Behind the jade door lay a mysterious path, and at the end of the path was a giant Buddha.
Yun Hongcai, who was using the technique of “stealing” to seize the Buddhist opportunity and had already opened the Dao Gate, suddenly turned his head.
The moment the people of the Azure Cloud Li Clan arrived to kill him, he knew immediately.
“Why… why can you just not let it go?”
Sitting cross-legged, Yun Hongcai levitated into the air, a brilliantly golden lotus platform beneath him.
He looked down at the ground with a complex gaze. From the ground, he could see the two Li family members ascending the mountain peak.
At this moment, within the opened Dao Gate, the Dao rhythm was slowly being absorbed into his body through the crack.
He saw a Great Dao—a Great Dao that stole the heavens. He was stealing the Buddha, and he was also stealing the Great Dao vitality of Dharma Master Hongzhen.
Over these past thousands of years, he could periodically feel his lifespan and vitality draining away.
In order to escape the fear and threat of death, he had resorted to every extreme measure, exhausting the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of his descendants, and devouring countless descendants and commoners.
And now, at the very end of his lifespan, he finally felt life returning to his body.
Feeling himself gradually gaining control over the Great Dao, his body transitioning from withered and aged to brimming with vitality, Yun Hongcai no longer harbored the fear of his panicked flight over the years.
He merely said calmly, “Daoist friends of the Azure Cloud Li Clan, retreat. You have done too much over the years. All of my descendants have perished by your hands. The Great Dao is long, and I do not wish to hold onto this grudge anymore.”
“Let past events scatter with the wind; in the days to come, we are all seekers of the Dao.”
Yun Hongcai’s voice was calm, appearing ethereal beneath the Dao rhythm.
He sat in meditation upon the lotus platform right before the Dao Gate. Beneath the hundred-meter Dao Gate, he truly looked like a heavenly being.
This Half-Step Body Integration expert had preliminarily grasped the Dao!
He had schemed and calculated his entire life, and he had finally achieved his goal, stepping onto the Dao path that countless people in the world died trying to seek!
But he suddenly frowned.
He saw that the Li Clan’s black mist figure and the red-robed tree demon, who had already climbed to the mountain peak, showed not the slightest hint of fear, nor did they display a single fraction of respect toward him, an almighty expert who had opened the Dao Gate!
The black mist figure’s voice was hoarse.
“What kind of Buddhist-thief bullshit are you spouting?”
…
The Old Tree stared in shock at his mysterious master, his old eyes wide open.
He couldn’t see his master’s expression, but the chilling coldness in his master’s eyes made him hurriedly turn his head away.
Hearing this foul language, Yun Hongcai’s expression turned gloomy.
Li Wei was extremely calm inside, but he couldn’t hold back his cold glare at Yun Hongcai.
As this old thing broke through to the Dao-Glimpsing realm, his physical body was recovering, and his lifespan was increasing. He was clearly incredibly arrogant.
But Li Wei couldn’t understand it even more: how could something that was like a rat crossing the street not long ago suddenly act so high and mighty?
Immediately, he released three Dharma Treasures.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear pierced through space like an extension of his own arm, thrusting toward Yun Hongcai.
He grasped the spear of the Blue Moon Divine Armor; because the armor on his body had been completely destroyed, this spear only possessed the power of a high-grade Dharma Treasure.
As for the Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda, the bell chimed three times, sending sound waves rippling toward Yun Hongcai, while also floating above the Old Tree’s head to protect him.
“Old Tree, activate the ‘Essence Harvesting Death Formation’. I really want to see where this old thing gets the confidence to face me before he has completely entered the Dao realm.”
Immediately after, with a wave of his left hand, he stepped into space.
The Old Tree did not dare to be slow, only replying with a “Yes.”
Instantly, the Old Tree transformed into his main body on the mountain, causing the mountain to shake and the earth to tremble.
His roots pierced into the entire mountain, and a blood-red canopy began to shroud the peak. After hundreds of years, the Old Tree’s main body had grown even more massive.
“Bang!”
An explosion rang out in front of the Dao Gate.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear had already thrust right in front of Yun Hongcai.
Although the Dao Gate wasn’t completely open, Yun Hongcai’s lifespan was now fully restored.
His Body Integration Dao-Glimpsing realm Spiritual power was sufficiently strong, and the Dao rhythm emanating from the Dao Gate already protected him.
The North Star Spirit-Breaking Spear only reached three inches from his glabella before being knocked away with a single sweep of his sleeve.
At this moment, Yun Hongcai’s vitality had completely returned, and he had fully taken on the appearance of a handsome young man with a head of white hair.
His starry eyes narrowed, and his sword-like eyebrows furrowed coldly.
Although he had failed in his previous two breakthroughs, his Daoist techniques remained.
In the cloudy sky, spiritual energy formed by heavenly materials and earthly treasures, along with omnipresent blood shadows, attacked the torn space from all directions.
“What formidable spatial laws.”
Having already witnessed the might of the Li Clan Ancestor while hiding in the Dusheng Nunnery, Yun Hongcai was still extremely surprised when facing him directly.
He had originally thought that after grasping the Body Integration Dao path, encountering a Void Refinement cultivator would be like encountering a wild beast.
He never expected that under his Daoist techniques—whose power had multiplied several times over—the Li Clan Ancestor could still trade blows with him back and forth.
Suddenly, Yun Hongcai inexplicably felt his eyelids twitch. A sense of crisis instantly arose in his heart, and he looked fiercely toward the ground.
He saw the enlarging tree demon, its roots spreading throughout the entire mountain.
Buddhist Runes were forming on the roots; it was forging an array formation. Blood energy was converging across the whole mountain.
“At the Divinity Transformation realm, what kind of array formation can he possibly use? Why is my mind so unsettled… Oh no!”
Yun Hongcai’s eyes widened abruptly.
He had seen this kind of array before!
Centuries ago, array formations like this had appeared across the major prefectures and commandery cities of the Azure Dynasty, and they had even appeared in Shadowfell Prefecture.
Even within their Yun Clan, a genius had forged this array right under their noses in the city, sucking away the vital blood energy of the city’s commoners and living creatures.
If Nun Dairou hadn’t stopped it in time, thirty percent of the lives of the hundreds of thousands of commoners in that city would have been sucked dry.
Not only that, the array formation on the roots of this old tree was complex, layered with Demonic Dao arrays.
A barrier had already formed around the mountain, and phantoms of tall towers stood tall one after another.
A Divinity Transformation realm technique, connecting to fate.
Yun Hongcai looked at the Old Tree in horror. This bizarre ancient tree was stealing his opportunity through the array formation and fate techniques.
The worst part was that this faith power of all living beings obtained from the Dusheng Nunnery didn’t belong to him in the first place, meaning that the Dao Gate he had opened didn’t belong to him either!
“You… you want to steal my Dao?!!”
Unable to care about anything else, Yun Hongcai utilized his Spiritual power and charged at the Old Tree with killing intent.
He could even see that within the body of this Divinity Transformation realm old tree, a numb young man sitting in a pale world was staring at him with sympathy.
In his terror, Yun Hongcai had exhausted his Spiritual power, vowing to destroy the Old Tree.
But floating above the Old Tree was the Myriad Dao Divine Bell Pagoda.
The bell chimed nine times, affecting the physical body and mind. Driven by Li Wei’s Spiritual power, the might of the supreme-grade Dharma Treasure rippled outward.
Yun Hongcai could truly be called an old monster; he possessed various Daoist techniques and had cultivated them to profound depths.
His Spirit Snatching Daoist technique formed densely packed white jade palms that grasped toward the Old Tree.
At the same time, the bloodline Spiritual power that snatched the lives of living beings turned into human figures charging forward.
His demonic arts and Daoist techniques were linked together.
Throughout the entire mountain, Li Wei could clearly feel his Spiritual power draining at an extremely fast rate, and even his vitality was being stolen.
“Spirit Snatching, Life Snatching… these are the two laws from his previous failed attempts to break through to the Body Integration realm.
And now, there’s also Dharma Master Hongzhen’s Half-Step Daoist technique that affects the mind.”
Mirror Surface!
Li Wei swept his long spear.
Although the Divine Bell Pagoda was strong, how could it block such Spiritual power now that Yun Hongcai had opened the Dao Gate?
He had no choice but to use his Void Refinement technique.
Numerous mirror surfaces emerged from the air, blocking the white jade palms and blood shadows Yun Hongcai launched at the Old Tree.
The entire cloudy sky was filled with the sound of shattering mirrors.
“Don’t even think about stealing my Dao path!”
At this moment, Yun Hongcai’s eyes were bloodshot. He finally understood.
The petty thieves of the Azure Cloud Li Clan had waited many years just for this day.
They possessed the ability to kill him, and back when Ba Siyu was protecting them, as long as the Li Clan wanted to, they could have made a move against him at any time.
Yet the Li Clan had deliberately waited decades for them!
In these past few decades, he had abandoned his clan’s descendants.
He had exhausted all his methods to battle wits and courage with the Li Clan, Ba Siyu, Bi Shihu, and even the Dusheng Nunnery.
He had called upon his good friends of many years to lay out a massive game of chess.
No one knew how excited and complacent he was when he stole the faith power of all living beings at the Dusheng Nunnery.
Even fewer knew how relieved he was when he opened the Dao Gate he had yearned for over many years, to the point of feeling a breezy calmness that suggested one only needed a sincere heart to attain it.
But now, he realized he was nothing more than a sheep kept in a pen, waiting to be fattened up!
“DO NOT STEAL MY DAO PATH!!!”
Yun Hongcai roared.
Li Wei’s techniques blocked his attacks.
The ‘Essence Harvesting Death Formation’ of the Old Tree in the mountain was taking shape.
Its roots pierced through the air, continuously thrusting toward the jade door of the Body Integration Great Dao.
They entangled and dragged out the phantom living beings formed by the faith power of all living beings.
Countless roots attached themselves to the Dao Gate, extending from the doorframe into the opened crack of the Dao Gate.
Yun Hongcai’s face turned pale. On his hand, which had just regained its vitality, an age spot grew once again!
“Steal your Dao path?”
Li Wei’s physical condition was equally poor.
Although Yun Hongcai didn’t counter him as heavily as Elder Yuanliang did, Yun Hongcai was far more terrifying than Elder Yuanliang.
In just a short period, ten percent of his Spiritual power, vitality, and even soul power had been drawn away.
Therefore, Li Wei simply stopped holding back any Spiritual power, aiming for a quick battle.
The ‘Mirror Surfaces’ formed by his sky-filling Void Refinement techniques and the Yin-Yang fish diagram expanded infinitely, pushing his speed and power to their critical limits.
The Heaven-Imprisoning Lock was deployed once again, entangling toward Yun Hongcai.
Li Wei’s face was ferocious, his tone chilling.
“I’m stealing your Dao path, so what?!! What happened to that arrogant, superior attitude you just had?
Did you really think that by reaching the Body Integration realm, you would become transcendent?”
“When you took the heavenly materials and earthly treasures of your Yun Clan’s descendants, why didn’t you think of today?!!”
Yun Hongcai’s expression changed drastically.
This Li Clan member was crazy, expending Spiritual power as if his life didn’t matter.
Those mirror surfaces madly absorbed his spells, and the Heaven-Imprisoning Lock, this Dharma Treasure, firmly protected the Old Tree.
Li Wei’s twin spears tore through the void, continuously wearing down the Dao he had obtained with such great difficulty!
“When you took the lives of the Yun Clan’s descendants and others in your attempts to break through, why didn’t you think of today?”
“When you stole the supplies of the two cities in Deston Prefecture, why didn’t you think of today?”
Li Wei was like a vicious ghost demanding a life.
“When you, to steal Dayu’s supplies, abandoned my descendants, why the fuck didn’t you think of today?”
Li Wei had truly been infuriated.
His Spiritual power erupted, and he instantly appeared in front of Yun Hongcai.
His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Yun Hongcai, whose liver and gallbladder were nearly splitting from terror.
He could even see the bloodshot veins in Yun Hongcai’s eyes and the spittle flying from his mouth.
“Didn’t you like to steal? I want you to watch helplessly as the things you worked hard to steal your entire life amount to nothing today!”
