Open up and break into another world

“Again” abused, “again” escaped!

Looking at the long history of the entire human race, I am afraid it would be difficult to find a "once in ten thousand years" level genius who could be as embarrassed as Lin Chen!

“He escaped again!” Xu Ming sighed helplessly, “However… in this battle, I have also made a great profit!”

In this battle, Xu Ming not only gained a low-grade Venerable artifact-level array disc, but more importantly, he absorbed a large amount of insights into the Dao of Wind from Lin Chen.

At this time, in Xu Ming's sea of consciousness, the Dao of Wind had already condensed into a very solid "seed of Dao".

With the "seed of Dao" solidified, Xu Ming can then logically plant the "seed of Dao" and break through to Dao Lord!

“Finally, I can break through to Dao Lord…”

In order to solidify his foundation, Xu Ming actually deliberately stayed in the Spirit Realm stage for a few years.

In these few years, Xu Ming did not deliberately improve his cultivation, but instead put most of his energy into the two secret techniques, "Puppet Demon Body" and "Demon Fiend Clone", and… researching the "Dao of Life" with Gu Hanmo.

Over the past few years, Xu Ming has condensed his foundation to an extremely solid level.

With a solid foundation, cultivation will be easier in the future!

Moreover, the two secret techniques, "Puppet Demon Body" and "Demon Fiend Clone", have also been cultivated to the extreme by Xu Ming.

Xu Ming's body is as tough as a top-grade Spiritual artifact—this is still without using any cheats!

Moreover, Xu Ming also hid a trick—no one knows that his shadow is actually a clone!

“Brother Tiger!” Xu Ming looked at the tiger-shaped demon beast, “This cooperation was very pleasant! What are your plans next?”

The tiger-shaped demon beast's voice was deep: “The treasure I was guarding has been taken away, so this Dao Destiny Battle has nothing to do with me; next, I will hide myself until the Dao Destiny Battle is over!”

“Hmm…” Xu Ming nodded slightly.

He knew that this tiger-shaped demon beast would be re-assigned the task of guarding treasures in the next Dao Destiny Battle.

“Then let us bid farewell here!”

Xu Ming and the tiger-shaped demon beast exchanged a few casual greetings, and then hurriedly left this place.

The tiger-shaped demon beast went to find a place to hide; while Xu Ming went to find a hidden place to prepare to break through to Dao Lord!

…

“Let's make it here!”

Xu Ming stood below a cliff, observed his surroundings, and after confirming that it was extremely difficult to be discovered here, he plunged into the inside of the cliff wall!

Afterwards, Xu Ming directly drilled into the ground—he wanted to go deep underground to break through to Dao Lord!

After a while, Xu Ming drilled into the deepest part of the ground like an earthworm.

“The situation in the Mountains and Rivers World is definitely being watched by countless experts and great powers; using ‘Absolute Stealth’ would easily be discovered as abnormal, leading to unexpected complications!” Xu Ming thought to himself, “Otherwise, why would I bother to spend so much effort to find a safe place to break through?”

When Xu Ming was adventuring in the Demon Domain of Seeking Dao, if he wanted to break through, he would just find a place, activate “Absolute Stealth,” and enter a state of breakthrough, without worrying about safety issues at all.

But in this Mountains and Rivers World, even if Xu Ming hides in the deepest part of the ground to break through, he cannot feel 100% safe.

“The most important step in crossing from the Spirit Realm to the Dao Lord level is to plant the ‘Seed of Dao’!”

Using the physical body and soul as soil, the Heavenly Dao that one comprehends is condensed into a "Heavenly Dao Seed" and planted into the soil!

Success in planting the Dao means becoming a One-Step Dao Lord!

Afterwards, as the understanding of the Heavenly Dao continues to deepen, the Heavenly Dao seed will continue to transform. If one day, the “Seed of Dao” takes root and sprouts in the soil of the body and soul, and grows into a “sapling of Dao,” then this is the Dao Venerable!

When the “sapling of Dao” grows into a towering tree, this is the “Master of Dao”!

Gods are already legends!

Legend has it that when the “Flower of Dao” bears the “Fruit of Dao,” one can achieve the immortal God!

The Heavenly Dao blooming and bearing fruit is too far away for Xu Ming. What Xu Ming needs to care about now is planting the “Seed of Dao” and breaking through to Dao Lord.

However, before planting the “Seed of Dao,” Xu Ming still needs to do one thing—raise his cultivation to the limit of the Spirit Realm!

Only a body and soul at the limit of the Spirit Realm is qualified as “soil”.

“Little Cheat, help me forcibly level up to Half-Step Dao Lord!”

As for the Cheat Points consumed by forcibly leveling up, that's not a problem! With Level 4 Cheat Points, Xu Ming can spend them as he pleases, and he doesn't worry about lacking Cheat Points at all!

Before long, Xu Ming's cultivation was forcibly leveled up to Half-Step Dao Lord.

“Next… plant the ‘Seed of Dao’!”

Xu Ming sat quietly for a long time, adjusting his mind to be incomparably peaceful.

Suddenly, Xu Ming's expression turned serious.

In the central area of his sea of consciousness, a small pit suddenly appeared—as if a hole had been dug in the soil.

Immediately, Xu Ming manipulated the solid “Seed of Dao” in his sea of consciousness and moved it towards the small pit.

As long as he plants the “Seed of Dao” like sowing seeds; then, this Heavenly Dao Seed will completely merge with Xu Ming's body and soul! At that time, Xu Ming will have successfully broken through to a One-Step Dao Lord!

The “Seed of Dao” slowly moved into the pit, and then, the “Spirit Peak of the Wind Intent” in the sea of consciousness directly suppressed the top of the small pit.

One day, this Heavenly Dao Seed that Xu Ming planted today will take root and sprout, and break out from the top of the Spirit Peak of the Wind Intent.

“The seed of the Heavenly Dao of Wind has been buried. Next, I need to let the ‘Seed of Dao’ merge with my body and soul, and break through to Dao Lord!”

This process of fusion will naturally not be accomplished overnight; it will take a considerable amount of time to complete.

…

Inside the Mountains and Rivers World, atop a towering mountain that pierces the clouds.

The most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ At ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ Book ⊥ Ba ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

Lin Chen stood proudly here with his sword, and the embarrassment of his escape just now was long gone.

“Lin Chen!” A figure in close-fitting attire flew onto the mountain peak, “What do you want me for?”

This figure in close-fitting attire is Lin Chen's fellow disciple, and also the second genius of the human race in this era—Qin Ke!

Of course, this “second genius” is recognized by the Palace of Inquiry. And the Palace of Inquiry has not yet ranked Xu Ming in the top ten.

“Help me kill someone!” Lin Chen said coldly.

“Ah?” Qin Ke was stunned for a while, “Help you kill someone?—Could it be that there is someone you can't kill alone? And you need my assistance?”

Qin Ke is in the Mountains and Rivers World and cannot contact the outside world, so naturally he doesn't know that Lin Chen has been abused by Xu Ming several times.

“I also called Yun Fan, Gu Bowen, and Yan Xue!”

In fact, there are some secret techniques among the disciples of the Holy Land that can be used to contact each other simply.

Each of the three names that Lin Chen mentioned is a Four-Step Dao Lord. Among them, Yun Fan of the Lotus Flower Holy Land is even known as the third genius of this era!

“You even called them!?” Qin Ke's eyes widened even more.

The five of them are almost the five strongest geniuses in the Mountains and Rivers World! Qin Ke found it hard to imagine who they were going to deal with that was worth the five of them joining forces?

Soon, three figures broke through the air together.

Yun Fan, who was flying in the middle, wore a lotus flower robe embroidered with exquisite patterns.

“Lin Chen, what's the situation? Why did you call us over?” Yun Fan shouted from afar.

Lin Chen pulled out the long sword behind him.

“Lin Chen, what do you mean by this!?” Yun Fan shouted repeatedly.

“Yun Fan! Your ‘Blood Lotus Tracing’ is best at finding people!” Lin Chen said, “There is blood from the person I'm looking for on this sword; use your ‘Blood Lotus Tracing’ to help me find him!”

Yun Fan muttered, “Using ‘Blood Lotus Tracing’ comes at a great price…”

“Haven't you always wanted to get a ten-thousand-year-old Blood Lotus? I have one in my Na Ring, and I can give it to you after we get out!” Lin Chen said indifferently.

“Okay! Deal!”

Sorry, I just finished coding the second chapter. It's past one o'clock, so I can only owe everyone a chapter today. There's nothing I can do, I'm really too busy. I slept past two o'clock last night, and I've been running around outside all day today, and I have to get up early tomorrow… Ah! When will I be able to work full-time!
