“This is Li Yu’s mantra. It gave Perfected Yu Hua a new understanding of the Great Dao!”

“That’s right. This is the true mantra of the Great Dao. Just hearing it can improve one’s mental state. Perfected Yu Hua took the commoners as his responsibility, and his heart was tied to the world. He had eliminated demons and defended justice, and these words of Li Yu’s are the Great Dao that Perfected Yu

Hua pursued.”

As everyone had guessed, Perfected Yu Hua had adhered to the orthodox path his entire life and cultivated for the sake of the world.

However, there was no accurate answer as to what the so-called orthodox path was and what it meant to cultivate for the commoners of the world.

He was filled with grand aspirations, but he did not know how to express them. The righteous path in his heart did not have a clear direction, and he did not know how to uphold it.

‘Therefore, Li Yu’s words touched him deeply.

He felt enlightened, allowing him to instantly find his direction and transform his Dao heart.

He had a deeper understanding of his own Dao and touched upon a higher meaning.

Combined with the thick influence of Dao fate, Perfected Yu Hua’s cultivation broke through directly.

He soared from the intermediate-stage Soul Formation to the peak of the Soul Formation Realm.

Whoosh!

A majestic aura erupted from Perfected Yu Hua’s body, and the power of heaven and earth gathered around him.

Seven-colored light surfaced around him like water ripples. It was almost blinding.

“This is… Profound Void Martial Stage!” The sect leaders of the various sects were shocked.

‘The strange phenomenon on the surface of Perfected Yu Hua’s body was very similar to the mythical Profound Void Martial Stage.

Did Li Yu’s mantra allow Perfected Yu Hua to break through to the Profound Void Martial Stage from the intermediate stage of the Soul Formation Stage?

“Oh heavens, this is too unbelievable. Such a leap across the cultivation realm should not be possible without cultivating for three to five hundred years!”

“That’s right. And breaking through from the Soul Formation Stage to the Profound Void Martial Stage is not that easy. I wonder how many people have stopped at the Soul Formation Stage their entire lives!”

“So this is the power of the Great Dao Mantra? Perfected Yu Hua just broke through the cultivation bottleneck of many years!”

After a moment, Perfected Yu Hua suddenly opened his eyes and restrained his aura. He instantly seemed younger by more than ten years, and his aura had undergone a tremendous change.

“Sect Master, have you entered the Profound Void Martial Stage?” Perfected Taiwu asked impatiently.

“Yes! Elder Li, thank you for helping me find my own Dao. Please accept my bow!” Perfected Yu Hua looked at Li Yu with immense gratitude and bowed deeply.

“He really broke through to the Profound Void Martial Stage!”

“How? How did Perfected Yu Hua do it!” The sect masters of the various sects were somewhat jealous.

Although they were touched when they heard Li Yu’s mantra and felt their minds empowered.

However, they did not directly comprehend the Great Dao and raise their cultivation as Perfected Yu Hua did.

Furthermore, Perfected Yu Hua had broken through to the Profound Void Martial Stage from the intermediate stage of the Soul Formation Stage in a short while.

If they did not see it with their own eyes, they would never believe that such a thing could happen.

Sigh. Comparison is so infuriating!

“The Jade Pure Dao Sect is going to become famous across the world this time!”

“That’s right. The Great Dao’s Mantra emerged during the Appointment Ceremony for the honorary elder. So the Jade Pure Dao Sect will surely become renowned and leave its glory in history.”

“Plus, Perfected Yu Hua’s rise to the Profound Void Martial Stage simply raised the Jade Pure Dao Sect’s strength by another level!”

“The fortune of the Jade Pure Dao Sect is peaking today.”

“Do you know what this means? As long as you’re related to Li Yu, you can obtain great fortune and karmic luck!”

“Eh, now that you mention it, it does seem like it!”

“The Heavenly Dao gave Li Yu an additional reward three times. This definitely tells you something.”

“Li Yu is definitely the son of the Heavenly Dao, the chosen one!”

After a long while, Li Yu’s voice that echoed through the world slowly dissipated.

At the same time, a thick golden beam of light descended from the Heavenly Dao Rankings and entered Li Yu’s body.

Li Yu instantly glowed like a blazing sun in the sky.

That figure looked even more extraordinary under the golden light. It was as if he was about to ascend to the Immortal class. It was breathtaking.

Bathed in the golden light, Li Yu felt extremely comfortable. At the same time, a will carried through divine sense sounded in his mind.

You spoke the true meaning of the Great Dao. Enlightened countless people. You left a good name for ages. Surpassed the ancient and amazed the contemporary. Attained eternal merit.

Therefore, you are rewarded with the Limitless Merit Golden Body. The heavens would bless you, and auspiciousness would follow you. Ghosts would be repelled, and evil would not invade your body.

Li Yu’s brows raised when he heard this voice.

Holy, this is another invincible BUFF!

After the appointment ceremony, the various sect leaders, family masters, and elders greeted Li Yu personally to express their respect.

By the side, Su Mu, Gu Yugi, and the other Qingyun Sect disciples had faces filled with pride.

At this moment, their admiration for Li Yu was stronger than anyone else, and it could even be described as ‘fervent.’

Li Yu was not just powerful. He also cared about the world. He eliminated demons and upheld the Dao, accomplishing heroic deeds.

Today’s events corroborated everything he had done in the past.

How could people not admire a person who possessed both virtue and talent and one with matchless strength?

“Li Yu is beyond belief. He’s usually casual and unrestrained. I didn’t expect him to have such a profound realm of thought. It’s truly admirable.”

Elder Nie’s voice sounded in Ji Qinglan’s ear. ‘Qinglan, this Li Yu has an extraordinary fate. He’s indeed the son of the Heavenly Dao. It’s a blessing to become fellow disciples with this child. Learn more from him in the future. It will naturally be beneficial to your comprehension of the Great Dao!”

Ji Qinglan nodded. His pride had long vanished into thin air in front of Li Yu.

The dissatisfaction in his heart had already transformed into worship.

Ifhe had previously thought that the difference between him and Li Yu was only in terms of cultivation, he now realized that Li Yu was an expert he could never catch up to.

Li Yu was a peerless genius like the sum, moon, and stars.

He was able to speak such sacred words that resonated with the Grand Dao. No one in the world could compare to such an unprecedented achievement!

His light was enough to illuminate the endless past and stun the present.

For heaven and earth, for the people, for the saints of the past to continue learning, for all ages to safeguard world peace!

From now on, this is my path.

Ji Qinglan thought to himself.

A few days later, the news of Li Yu speaking the truth of the Great Dao at the honorary elder appointment ceremony of the Jade Pure Dao Sect spread like wildfire throughout the Great Xia Dynasty and even to the surrounding countries.

Not only that but there was also a rumor circulating in the Great Zenith Domain. During the Prodigy Convention, the Holy Son of the Primordial Dao Holy Land, Chu Yunhe, had directly broken through into the Tribulation realm from the late stage of the Profound Void Martial Stage after hearing the Great

Dao’’s mantra.

Meanwhile, as the news was spread by more storytellers, It was constantly embellished, constantly subjectively transformed, and even demonized.

In the end, it evolved into various bizarre versions.

Ina restaurant in the Huaxia Continent’s Myriad Era Dynasty, a group of martial artists discussed the recent hot topic—the Great Dao Mantra.

“Theard that Chu Yunhe discussed the Dao with the geniuses of the various Holy Lands. In the end, he spoke the truth of the Dao!”

“What? Chu Yunhe said it?”

“Of course, apart from this publicly acknowledged number one genius, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Dao Sect, Chu Yunhe, who else could speak such wise words!?*

“That’s right, I’ve heard of it too. Plus, he directly attained enlightenment after saying it, and his cultivation broke through to the Mahayana Realm directly!”

“Hmph, where did you hear this rumor? I clearly heard that the Great Dao Mantra was said by an elder named Ming Yu of the Jade Pure Dao Sect!”

“Why do I hear that he’s a peerless genius of the Great Xia Dynasty? I think his name is Carp’! They say he’s the Great Dao’s son. He’s incredible!”

“What? I heard that a carp fish spoke in the human tongue and said the mantra!”

“Those are all rumors. I heard that he’s a holy child of the Immortal Domain. He came to teach the Dao in the lower realm and enlightened the commoners!”

“What a load of nonsense. It’s clearly a Heavenly Dao teaching to the world. What has it got to do with any holy child or carp fish?! There are really all kinds of people who actually think of taking the credit of the Heavenly Dao!”
