The next second, his avatar disappeared from the courtyard.
True Man Qingding was taken aback, then fell sitting on the ground.
"Ha ha, hahahahaha——"
She burst into mad laughter in the courtyard.
As they were conversing, in four locations—Yidu Prefecture, Jingn Prefecture, Xiuzhou Prefecture, and Ming Province City—four Dharma Forms, accompanied by the Blood Qilin Golden Dragon circling around them, soared into the sky!
Heaven and earth trembled.
"He wants to forcefully establish the Tao Country!"
Yun Shu had deduced Qingxu True Monarch’s intent through analyzing the Dao rules.
After abandoning one Dharma Form and a ’corner’ of the Five Elents, Qingxu True Monarch used the remaining Dharma Forms to reconstruct an array.
This feat alone proved he was second to none in the world of arrays!
But a Tao Country built from an incomplete array was unstable and hard to sustain.
"Amitabha, Qing Xu is trying to forcibly ascend."
A compassionate voice ca from the golden Buddha statue.
It was the voice of the contemporary Buddha.
He, too, had seen through Qingxu True Monarch’s intentions.
The arrays in the other four directions had already been perfected, and now, by abandoning Jinshan Prefecture and reducing the range of the array, Qingxu True Monarch had also locked Yun Shu and the Buddha statue outside the ’gate.’
It was too late for them to stop Qingxu True Monarch.
"He chooses a path that leads to death."
Yun Shu said coldly.
Even if a complete Tao Country were established, it was uncertain how likely Qingxu True Monarch would succeed in ascension.
Now, with an incomplete Tao Country and forced ascension, the probability of success was even lower!
Thus, Yun Shu thought this was a path leading to death.
The Buddha next to him remained silent, just silently witnessing.
As the leader of Buddhists and the contemporary Buddha, he disapproved of Qingxu True Monarch’s blood sacrifice and did not wish to see the Tao Country established.
But as a fellow seeker of the path, he had so admiration for Qingxu True Monarch’s choices at this mont.
As the two were conversing, a Tao Country enveloping most of Ming Province appeared:
Ordinary people and those with insufficient cultivation couldn’t see it, but a golden dragon, ten thousand ters long, circled above the Tao Country!
Imnse power rippled within it, the higher the realm of the beholder, the more they were startled.
Streaks of thunder flashed in the sky, as if singing for the Tao Country.
On Daluo Peak, a beam of purple-gold light shot into the sky, rising into the clouds, its end unseen!
Yun Shu and the Buddha statue beside him both watched this light beam.
Many mighty ones dueling at the borders also ceased their clashes and turned to look at this beam.
As long as one was within Ming Province and reached a certain realm, they could feel a response, sensing that grand, vast aura, soaring to the heavens!
Tao Country was established, and Qingxu True Monarch began his Breakthrough!
On the highway leading to Chong City, Li Fei, due to being imbued with Dragon Energy, felt a response the mont the Tao Country was established and turned to look into the distance.
He could also ’see’ the ten-thousand-ter-long golden dragon, then he felt the aura from Daluo Peak.
"Is Qingxu True Monarch trying to ascend?"
Li Fei imdiately realized.
He thought for a mont, injected a Mind Settling into the Dream Command, and then inford True Man Qingding of the news.
"He has established the Tao Country?"
True Man Qingding was excited upon receiving the ssage.
"It has been established indeed, but... it must be incomplete; I am currently within Jinshan Prefecture and yet not enveloped by the Tao Country."
Li Fei said.
"He is forcing an ascension!"
True Man Qingding realized, then fell silent.
"...It’s a pity, not to witness it personally."
After a mont, True Man Qingding spoke regretfully.
This was his and Qingxu True Monarch’s lifelong vision, and he wanted to witness the final outco regardless.
Actually, Li Fei also wanted to observe how a top tier powerhouse broke the limits and ascended to the Dao.
It was a pity that this place was hundreds of kiloters from Daluo Sect, separated by a Tao Country, so what he could see was indeed limited.
"Wait a minute..."
Li Fei suddenly had an idea:
"What if I use the Gate of Dream Realm to enter the Dream Realm, could I possibly see Qingxu True Monarch’s subconscious?"
The Dream Realm could allow him to cross space, establishing contact with extrely remote existences.
However, he could only do so if he could sense the other’s consciousness.
With Li Fei’s current level of cultivation in Magic Dao, he could at most sense the consciousness within a kiloter radius around him; trying to sense Qingxu True Monarch’s consciousness in this place was nearly impossible.
But now, as Qingxu True Monarch was at a critical mont in his Breakthrough, his consciousness within the Dream Realm should be exceptionally conspicuous; finding him shouldn’t be difficult for Li Fei.
Moreover, he was currently endowed with the Emperor’s Dragon Qi, while Qingxu True Monarch, as the ruler of Tao Country, carried a substantial amount of the Emperor’s Dragon Qi.
The two would naturally resonate.
"I might as well give it a try!"
Li Fei made up his mind.
The Emperor’s Dragon Qi enhanced him in every aspect, not only boosting his Force but also his Spiritual Power, thus his Void Thought was strengthened as well, comparable and even surpassing the Possession Stage!
This was the confidence that Li Fei had to at least attempt it.
Exploring too far in the Dream Realm posed the risk of getting lost!
Many strong cultivators in the Possession Stage from the history of the Nightmare Sect had beco completely lost in the Dream Realm while venturing too far, their bodies turning into re walking corpses.
Now, with the strength of Possession Stage’s Void Thought plus the Dream Command, Li Fei’s ability to navigate within the Dream Realm would not fall short of a True Master!
This gave him confidence to ’navigate’ up to Qingxu True Monarch.
Using Void Thought, he invoked ’Gate of Dream Realm,’ and then entered the Dream Realm once again using the Dream Command.
This ti, he easily perford ’Mind Settling,’ and appeared on a highway surrounded by forest.
Then he turned his head towards the direction of Daluo Sect as he rembered it.
He saw a sun!
This was the subconscious projection of Qingxu True Monarch within the Dream Realm.
With a thought, Li Fei started flying towards this sun.
Directly diving into the subconscious sea of a strong cultivator was extrely dangerous, especially since Qingxu True Monarch was currently breaking through; his subconscious might contain unimaginable perils!
Li Fei wasn’t planning to court death, so he wouldn’t directly enter Qingxu True Monarch’s subconscious.
He simply wanted to get closer and observe this Breakthrough.
Other strong cultivators observing from the real world might not see as clearly as he could through the subconscious!
Soon, Li Fei ’swam’ near the ’sun’ in the sky.
The closer he got, the more he could sense the terrifying power contained within this ’sun.’
And this ’sun’ was extrely unstable, as if it could explode at any mont!
"For eight hundred years in Taoism, over a thousand in Martial Arts, no one has beheld the scenery beyond the peak."
Suddenly, Li Fei heard a grand voice.
It was Qingxu True Monarch’s voice.
It was his subconscious projection in the Dream Realm; due to the strong fluctuations of power, Li Fei could hear it without having to dive in.
"Those before couldn’t do it, but I will!"
"If I cannot achieve immortality, I will not turn back!"
"...."
Several ’Heart Sounds’ projected in the Dream Realm let Li Fei feel Qingxu True Monarch’s resolve in his pursuit of the Dao.
At one mont, the ’sun’ in front of Li Fei suddenly leapt upward, bursting forth with endless brilliance as if to illuminate the entire Dream Realm!
Li Fei could no longer look directly at the ’sun,’ so he exerted himself to sense the light beams projecting onto him.
He vaguely felt the entire Dream Realm tremble.
Sothing had been shattered.
Then he heard a cry.
The cry was not sad but sounded like that of a newborn, as if seeing the world for the first ti.
Affected by the cry, even under the protection of the Dream Command, Li Fei’s mind wavered, struggling to pull himself free:
The cry also influenced him, plunging him into an enormous, indescribable sensation of emotion!
Through this cry, he perceived many profoundly subtle and arcane things.
He couldn’t understand these things at the mont and could only deeply imprint them in his heart.
At this mont, the world unfolded its veil before Li Fei, allowing him to behold a New Heaven.
An Immortal blessed my crown!
...
The real world.
A sun rose from the east, its radiant light tearing through the darkness and bringing light back to the world.
The dawn had arrived with the rising sun.
Atop Daluo Peak, Qingxu True Man, enveloped in a purplish-gold light column, wore a child-like smile.
"He has understood the Dao."
