Chapter 691 Soul

"Too powerful!" In the spacious research institute, people's eyes were filled with reverence.Li Zun had actually solved the formula for transforming the Sword God Path into the Killing Asura Path, seemingly in just one afternoon!Then, something even more outrageous happened.Li An looked at the Sword God Path cultivator and said, "Go in."People were somewhat bewildered.Isn't this an experiment?Isn't that door formed by your spiritual power?The real materials are all laid out on the table and haven't even been used yet. Can you really take this experimental model seriously?The result was real.After the Sword God Path cultivator stepped through the door, he immediately began refining the Dao Fruit.On the table were also a dazzling array of materials. These were resources that Liu Dahu had prepared long ago, because the formula is a method. To make it a reality, you need luck, you need all sorts of substances.Li An used nothing, just his two hands.This is the Heavenly Dao Soul.The most difficult Dao Soul to condense in heaven and earth is this defying the heavens.Creating something out of thin air, and using such precious materials at that, was astonishing.Then, Li An began solving the remaining nine formulas, waving his palms in the void before him.Gates of Enlightenment appeared one after another. The sword cultivators mustered their courage and stepped into them, emerging with Dao Fruits that resembled the Asura Path of Slaughter.Throughout the process, Li An's expression remained largely unchanged, as if nothing was worth celebrating, everything was utterly indifferent.After constructing ten gates, he dusted off his hands and turned to walk straight to his room.Formulas that the First Research Institute had struggled to solve, he resolved with ease, and with such a...simple attitude.The researchers were truly impressed.This man was too powerful, and as calm as a mountain.Back in his room, Li An continued solving the thousand formulas.Three months had passed, which, in other words, was over twenty years.He solved nearly 500 formulas within the slow-motion time barrier. The remaining 500 would take at most ten years, or a little over a month.From a real-world perspective, Ang Lee is still young, but considering the actual time he has experienced, he is already a centenarian.He cultivated in the dream world from childhood, and later cultivated within the slow-motion time barrier.Though these times were monotonous and lonely,it is precisely this solitude that truly fosters maturity.In his solitude, he contemplated the structure of laws, the structure of heaven and earth, and also the meaning of life, the meaning of his own existence.Throughout history, there has been a consensus among people:The true enemy that hinders one's progress is oneself.Long periods of solitary cultivation bring profound exhaustion, and after enduring this exhaustion comes a lingering weariness, a thought rising in the mind—enough.That's enough; I should rest.Rest, and then what awaits in the world is a life of pleasure and debauchery.Rest alone is not enough; one must indulge in unrestrained desires.The dazzling world is captivating, making the solitary and monotonous training far more agonizing.Most people would succumb to the struggle against themselves, choosing to rest a little longer, to play a little longer.But Li An seems devoid of such emotions.In truth, he once felt that way, because he was young and narrow-minded, believing himself to be already quite capable, which led to the thought of 'enough'.Now, his vision is broad, his responsibilities are great, he knows the vastness of the sky and the expanse of the earth, and he knows how much he still lacks.Most importantly, he has witnessed too much chaos and turmoil.Under the brutal sound of galloping hooves, those thoughts of pleasure and debauchery turned into fleeting smoke, utterly vulnerable.In one bloody war after another, he saw his own inadequacy, and also the terrifying power of his opponents.Everything he has experienced over the years is like a mirror, reflecting a vulnerable past self.Behind Li An's calm face lies a heart that forges ahead. He will always choose to punch that mirror, no matter how many vulnerable selves may appear in the future, he will shatter them.It seems a month has already passed. Li An stood before the final question, half a formula for the Demon Ancestor's advancement to sequence zero.The Demon Ancestor's Dao Fruit was the Azure Heaven Demonic Path.Azure Heaven Power + Demonic Path.She was the first to complete the fusion of Azure Heaven Power, and had progressed far beyond Li An on this path.As a born prodigy with three innate talents, the Demon Ancestor had long since fused her three talents and three sources of power into one.And it wasn't just a simple fusion; she had also spent countless millennia utterly destroying and shattering everything within the Ten Deadly Demon Caves, then reassembling it.Her purpose was simple:To create a talent rune called Azure Heaven Power, abandoning all her past talents and methods.Now, the Demon Ancestor no longer needed to perform any rituals like the unification of the three realms.Her talent was Azure Heaven Power, a power that could simultaneously affect her spirit, laws, and physical body.Li An had witnessed the Demon Ancestor's actions; her methods were remarkably simple.It's either the simplest, most straightforward physical body, or the ruthless suppression by the overwhelming spiritual power of the heavens—completely unreasonable, radiating a powerful beauty in every aspect.The Great Dao is simple.But at the same time, Li An harbored a persistent doubt.Once the Demon Ancestor's Heavenly Power advances to Sequence Zero, and she attains the fifteenth level of the Monarch Realm, this woman will likely be the undisputed number one in the world.Three Sequence Zero positions, plus Heavenly Power, fifteen levels, the Demonic Path.The characteristics of the Demonic Path are unbridled, fearless, and boundless—these are the ancestral precepts of the Demonic Path, personally written by the Demon Ancestor herself.The Demon Ancestor has already demonstrated the first two.Unrestrained, she can take the Immortal God Blade at will, doing whatever she wants.Fearless, she directly becomes a direct subordinate of the Heng Clan, defying the heavens while wearing a bracelet of destiny.As for the final boundless aspect, Li An hasn't witnessed it yet. He wondered if it could also be a method that can be infinitely stacked?It certainly is.Otherwise, how could she have fought against the celestial beings descended from the heavens in the primordial era?If it wasn't Sequence Zero, then it could only rely on infinite accumulation of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.As the oldest of the Five Ancestors, and the Demon Ancestor, this meant that she created the path of demonic cultivation.The demonic path she wielded wasn't the so-called eight universally applicable paths, but a unique path to heaven she herself had forged.Thinking of this, Li An stared intently at the formula before him.To advance the Heavenly Power to Sequence Zero?What materials were needed?Three seconds later, Li An's body trembled, his eyes suddenly narrowing.Heavenly Power, Heavenly Power…This power was called Heavenly Power because it referred to the three divine powers bestowed upon humanity by the heavens.Spirit, Law, and Body. The moment these three were united, the one wielding this power seemed to become the master of these three divine powers—the heavens themselves.If it truly was the power of the heavens, then it should already be Sequence Zero.Therefore, the power of the heavens doesn't need advancement, but rather replenishment.To fill some gaps.What's missing?The soul.The soul of the heavens.The soul of the Heavenly Dao!
