Chapter 440: The Path Ahead Is Long Yet Brilliant
Zhao Li didn't know why he was able to reach his current Realm, but he was certain that his status as an otherworldly visitor played a significant role.
When he first began Cultivation, he was cautious yet looked toward the future, solidifying his Foundation during the Dou Qi Stage...
When he unexpectedly received a Legacy, he didn't blindly adhere to it or ignore it entirely. Instead, he took the best parts, compensating for the weaknesses, and took the first step on his own Route...
It wasn't until he received the Legacy of a Senior from this world, integrating the insights into the world from the wise figures of both lives, that he was able to Break and Rebuild, reshaping his Foundation and forming a Golden Core. This could barely be considered walking the Route of being unrivaled in the current era...
Fortune is intertwined with misfortune, and misfortune with fortune. The Golden Core attracted the covetousness of the world, and after the Contention for Dao Confluence, he finally understood that he was the one seeking the Dao, that true Strength originated from within himself, truly tapping into the Universe of the human body, and achieving Alternative Path to Emperor...
Each choice, at the time, seemed insignificant, but when they accumulated, they truly created the person he was today.
And Zhao Li knew that with every choice he made, there was an untamed and unrestrained spirit within him, asking:
"Having been reborn, and even transmigrated to such a vast world, are you content with this?"
Of course, he wasn't content. Therefore, Zhao Li made his choices, even if they seemed overly ambitious, like pipe dreams, or like a snake trying to swallow an elephant out of greed...
"It wasn't just like this in the past, but now, and even in the future, it will be the same, until I reach the Peak of the Great Dao, or the limit of my Potential..."
A thought stirred within Zhao Li, and he murmured to himself. This, it seemed, was his initial thought when he was reborn. Even after integrating into this world, having a new life, and gaining things he wanted to protect and change, that thought remained buried in his heart.
On the other hand, although Hun Tiandi heard Zhao Li's two sentences clearly, he didn't seem to understand the true meaning behind his words.
But even so, he could still sense an incredibly strong Belief in Zhao Li's words: This world cannot confine me!
Dimly, he seemed to see a towering figure transcending the world, which caused him to feel a sense of trance. He murmured:
"So, the gap between us isn't just in Strength?"
Hun Tiandi had already understood the difference between himself and Zhao Li. It turned out that from the very beginning, Zhao Li's goal was not just the Dou Di Realm that he had pursued for a Thousand Years...
"But, isn't Dou Di the end of Cultivation? Is there another Realm above Dou Di?"
Though he admired Zhao Li's ambition, according to the records on the Dou Qi Continent, Dou Di was the Peak. He found it hard to imagine the existence of beings stronger than Dou Di, who were like Deities.
It wasn't his fault. Human understanding gradually breaks through limitations, but over Ten Thousand Years on the Dou Qi Continent, there were only about twenty or so Dou Di. Their Strength was evident at the time, and whether through word of mouth or records, the image of Dou Di as supreme was deeply ingrained. Coupled with the main theme of the strong preying on the weak, everyone was out for themselves, and few were willing to share or communicate with outsiders. Therefore, breaking through established understanding was difficult!
As for Zhao Li, he truly had a Cheat. After all, the very act of experiencing transmigration was itself a huge Cheat.
Because of transmigration, Zhao Li held a sense of doubt, awe, and yearning for everything in his understanding. After all, since transmigration happened, was it possible that other things were also real?
It was precisely these subtle thoughts that allowed Zhao Li, through experimentation and summarization, to integrate a Route different from ordinary people. The fantasy of becoming a Master of a Dao might truly have the possibility of becoming reality.
And he was working towards that goal. Journey to the West in another world was the beginning of his Imparting Scriptures.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li put away the complex thoughts in his heart and looked at Hun Tiandi. He could see the complex expression on his head, which was exposed outside Five-Finger Mountain, but the arrogant demeanor from before was gone.
Seeing this Overlord, who was defeated by Flame Emperor in his youth, now looking no different from a disheartened person in the mortal world, Zhao Li felt a sense of emotion:
"The Dao has no end, the Path Ahead is still long, long yet brilliant."
If he didn't want to end up like Hun Tiandi, the Heavenly Supreme Realm was far from enough.
"I hope the Foundation of the Dou Qi Continent won't disappoint me."
Thinking this, Zhao Li pointed a finger, and a flood of information about the Journey to the West Imparting Scriptures poured into Hun Tiandi's Sea of Consciousness. Finally, a vast voice echoed in his Sea of Consciousness:
"If you can break through the Obsession in your heart on this journey, there will surely be a place for you in the Dou Di Realm."
The art of dangling carrots, once one reaches a certain level, is something that comes naturally without a teacher. Moreover, what Zhao Li said wasn't entirely empty talk. As long as Hun Tiandi let go of his unrealistic fantasies, there was indeed a vast future ahead.
After all, in the Ten Thousand Years after Tuoshe Ancient Emperor, there were only a handful of Peak powerhouses with names on the Continent. The fact that Hun Tiandi could become one of them meant his Talent was beyond doubt.
Zhao Li transmitted the general information to Hun Tiandi, then waved his hand, tearing open a chasm in the Spirit Realm Space that resembled an Abyss. He threw Five-Finger Mountain into it. At the same time, in the Eastern Region, on the Boundary of Great Li, at the Abyss of the Sea Boundary, a tall mountain descended from the sky under the astonished gaze of countless people...
After sending Hun Tiandi away, Zhao Li seemed to feel something was missing. After a moment of contemplation, a figure identical to his appearance but with a completely different aura stepped out from him and entered the rift.
Only then did he nod in satisfaction. He then turned to look at the Spirit Race members, who were all lying on the ground, not a single one still standing.
He flicked his finger, and a wisp of Innate Qi entered the Spirit Realm. Immediately after, endless energy surged towards it, instantly forming an energy tide.
With a thought, Zhao Li merged that wisp of Innate Qi into the energy tide. Before long, it caused the
energy tide to gain Life Force and Creation. Then, the energy tide enveloped the Spirit Race members, healing their terrified and shrunken Souls...
Before long, the Spirit Race Clan Head was the first to wake up. He immediately looked around. Besides the fallen clan members, there was only Zhao Li. Hun Tiandi, whose residual Dou Technique power had almost wiped out the Spirit Race, was gone.
He simply assumed that Hun Tiandi had retreated first out of fear of Zhao Li and didn't think much of it. As for the Dou Di that Hun Tiandi mentioned when he first lost control, he didn't quite believe it now. After all, if Dou Di were truly above the world, how could Hun Tiandi dare to attack if Zhao Li was a Dou Di?
But even if he wasn't a Dou Di, Zhao Li was not someone his small Spirit Race could provoke. The Spirit Race Clan Head walked a few steps to Zhao Li, bowed deeply, and cupped his hands in thanks:
"Many thanks, Senior Zhao. The Spirit Race will never forget Senior's great kindness."
He recognized Zhao Li. He had even previously wanted to gather Medicinal Ingredients to ask Zhao Li to refine a medicine for the Clan's Saintess. However, he didn't have the same absolute authority in the Clan as Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi. Some Elders used the fact that Ling Meng was an outsider as an excuse, and the matter was dropped.
Zhao Li nodded, but his gaze still rested on Ling Poshan.
Seeing this, Ling Haoran remembered that Zhao Li had been looking at Ling Poshan when he first arrived and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Senior, is there something wrong with this boy Poshan?"
Zhao Li shook his head and said:
"Nothing is wrong, he is very good. How could there be any problem reaching Dou Sheng in just a Hundred Years? By the way, does he have family?"
Zhao Li wanted to know if only Ling Poshan had come to the Spirit Race, or if all the people who were still alive in the Pocket World had come here.
After searching for a Hundred Years, it was time to settle this matter.
