Chapter 114 Immortal Dao Divine Powers, the Recognition of the Azure Sky Overlord Body

[Shrinking the Earth to an Inch: A divine power of immortality, reaching its pinnacle, where a single thought can travel ten thousand miles in a single step]

【….】

"Immortal path...supernatural powers?"

Li Wudao stroked his chin. This seemed to be a movement technique, and it looked to be of a very high grade.

"How much? Ten thousand miles in one step?!"

Upon seeing the last sentence of the introduction, he almost lost his balance and secretly gasped.

The Heavenly Rank movement technique he is currently cultivating has increased his speed to the limit, but even a single step only covers a hundred meters.

"This technique is probably even superior to imperial techniques!"

Li Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly, his composure failing him.

If one masters this movement technique, there is nowhere in the world one cannot go.

Moreover, even when faced with a powerful enemy, they have the ability to protect themselves.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the miserable experience of being chased by Cheng Yuanliang a few days ago.

If I had possessed such agility back then, I wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state...

"What I lack has come to me. Am I the legendary chosen one?"

At this moment, Li Wudao was in a great mood, indulging in a bit of smug self-admiration.

Just then, the green-haired turtle walked over with a dark face, visibly displeased, and opened its mouth as if to say something.

Li Wudao glanced at it, walked away, and warned, "Don't make a sound. Didn't you see that Senior Dugu is refining an Emperor-level medicine?"

"Damn it, what were you thinking, giving away the Imperial Medicine to an old man like that?"

The green-haired turtle, like a resentful woman confined to her boudoir, glared with wide eyes and followed in an irritable tone.

It couldn't understand the boy's actions at all; rather than giving it to an old man who was about to die, it would have been better to give it something of greater value.

"Alright, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Seeing its unwilling look, Li Wudao shook his head and chuckled, then said leisurely, "Look what this is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and took out a black lotus that was emitting a dark light.

"Holy crap, the Taiyin Lotus!"

Immediately, the green-haired turtle cried out, unable to contain its excitement.

This sacred medicine had a tremendous effect on it, nourishing its severely damaged soul, something even the ten-thousand-year-old dragon saliva ginseng could not compare to.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Li Wudao was speechless; this bastard's reaction was just too much.

"Wait a minute, how did the Taiyin Lotus end up in your hands? Didn't you say you didn't take it?!"

Suddenly, the green-haired turtle realized something, its tone turned cold, and it stared intently at him.

"Ahem, this... uh..."

Li Wudao was momentarily embarrassed. His eyes darted around, and he chuckled awkwardly, saying, "I didn't take it. The fat monk gave it to me."

"Bullshit! I didn't see it! Don't try to fool me!"

The green-haired turtle had a menacing look in its eyes and bared its teeth.

"It was given to me during dinner, but you didn't notice it then..."

Li Wudao spouted nonsense with a straight face and resolutely refused to admit it.

"Heh heh, you little rascal, you're full of bad ideas, even more cunning than me!"

The green-haired turtle's face was full of doubt; it refused to believe anything.

"Give me the Lunar Lotus right now!"

Before it could finish speaking, it bit into the boy's hand.

However, Li Wudao was prepared and easily created distance, giving it no chance at all.

"This is a sacred medicine, and you just ask for it without asking? What gives you the right?"

He smiled faintly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

The green-haired tortoise remained silent, its face somewhat grim. It said in a deep voice, "What do you want? Aside from the Heaven-Slaying Coffin, I can exchange anything else I have for it!"

"I haven't decided yet, I'll think about it later."

Li Wudao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

Actually, giving the Lunar Lotus directly to the Green-haired Turtle would definitely be a good deal.

However, a good investor should never only consider immediate gains, but should try to take a long-term approach to achieve greater success.

Given Green Turtle's cunning and treacherous nature, sending the sacred medicine away would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—a complete waste, and there would be little chance of any further interaction.

After all, it's the mythical beast Xuanwu; such an investment opportunity shouldn't be missed easily.

"Damn it, are you kidding me?!"

The green-haired turtle was so angry that it jumped up and down, and in a fit of rage, it lashed out.

If it weren't for the lack of confidence, it would have already taken action and robbed them.

This damned human brat is not only cunning but also has a mysterious background. I really don't have the confidence to break off all pretense of civility right now.

"If you want the Taiyin Lotus, you'd better behave yourself and not mess with me."

Li Wudao glanced at it sideways, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.

The green-haired turtle's reaction made him even more confident, giving him the leverage to control his opponent.

"Damn it, you better pray you don't fall into my hands, or I'll suppress you in a latrine for a hundred years, no, a thousand years!"

Green-haired turtle was furious, but dared not speak out, and could only curse in his heart.

at the same time.

Not far away, Dugu Baitian had already begun refining the Emperor's Medicine.

His body was hunched over, and he sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed. His hair was as white as frost, and a thick, turbid aura surrounded him, making him look extremely old.

However, after an incense stick had burned.

This once desolate black soil is gradually surrounded by a vibrant life force, and patches of green plants are sprouting from the ground.

Endless spiritual energy surged in from all directions, eventually flowing into the old man's withered body.

Before we knew it, three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Dugu Baitian sat quietly, without the slightest ripple.

His skin remained dry and wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree dried by time, revealing the withering of life; his hair was gray and sparse, and his breathing was extremely weak.

From a distance, it looked as if it were covered in a thick layer of dust, exuding an overwhelming sense of death.

"This old man has most likely failed. What a pity, such a precious medicinal herb has been wasted..."

Beside him, the green-haired turtle let out a gloating sigh.

"Shut your crow mouth!"

Li Wudao glared at it, feeling somewhat worried.

Could it be... that we really failed?

Upon their first meeting, the old man generously gifted him with an invincible technique and a sacred weapon of his destiny, without asking him to do anything.

Such magnanimity is rare in this world; it would be a real pity if he were to perish like this.

"Boom!"

Just then, the celestial phenomena changed dramatically. Dark clouds gathered overhead, and lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if something was brewing.

"The weather in this forbidden zone is just too weird."

Li Wudao withdrew his gaze in confusion, then exclaimed in surprise, "Look, it's Senior Dugu!"

Right beneath the dark cloud, Dugu Baitian's hunched back gradually straightened.

Sparse white hair was replaced by gray strands, spreading rapidly, as if time had reversed, draped over the shoulders and swaying in the wind.

Even wrinkled skin reveals a soft color, like a flower nourished by spring rain, regaining its radiance of life.

Through his double pupils, one could clearly see that Dugu Baitian's bones and blood were also undergoing a transformation; his withered blood vessels were being filled with new blood, and his bones were repairing themselves...

If the old man before was like a dead man with one foot in the coffin, now he is just like a vigorous old man in his sixties in the secular world, his state is completely different.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, Dugu Baitian's eyelids twitched slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, shooting out two crystalline divine lights.

At this moment, those eyes no longer had that dull, murky look; they were no longer confused and desperate, but full of spirit, firm and bright!

Under the strange gazes of the man and the tortoise,

Dugu Baitian slowly stood up, head held high and chest puffed out. The sound of his bones cracking rang out, his gray hair danced wildly, and a powerful vitality and aura were rapidly rising.

"What a strong aura!"

Li Wudao was secretly shocked.

The old man before him was not tall, but he exuded an indescribable aura, as if he were connected to heaven and earth, carrying endless majesty and a sense of oppression.

This feeling is somewhat like an ordinary person facing a magnificent tiger; the visual impact is quite strong.

He even had the illusion that the dark clouds in the sky could not conceal Dugu Baitian's imposing aura.

"This aura is endless, like a surging river, no, it's more like... the boundless sky..."

Beside him, the green-haired turtle was also unsettled, its eyes trembling as if it had realized something.

"Could it be... the Azure Sky Overlord Body?!"

With a gasp from the green-haired turtle.

Thunder rumbled from the clouds, reflecting off Dugu Baitian's imposing figure and making him appear even more awe-inspiring, like a tyrant emerging from ancient times.

"Young friend, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. Please accept... this old man's bow!"

Ignoring their astonishment, Dugu Baitian strode up to Li Wudao, his expression solemn, and gave him a respectful bow.

Today, most of the resentment and bitterness that had been buried deep in his heart for a thousand years has quietly dissipated, and he feels reborn.

"Senior Dugu, you flatter me... Please rise. Didn't you also bestow upon me the Invincible Technique and my natal holy weapon?"

Li Wudao smiled bitterly and tried to help him up, but it was no use.

"How can these be compared? The Invincible Technique originated from the Pure Yang Sacred Body. How could a mere damaged sacred weapon compare to an unparalleled divine herb..."

Dugu Baitian remained bowed, his tone firm and his attitude sincere.

“Senior Dugu, you don’t need to be so clear-headed,” Li Wudao said helplessly.

"Calling me 'senior' is too formal..."

After a moment's thought, Dugu Baitian suggested, "Although I and young friend Li are complete strangers, we hit it off immediately. So... if you think highly of me, you might as well call me 'brother'."

"Huh, is this appropriate?" Li Wudao was stunned.

"It's perfect, absolutely perfect!"

"Then... shall I call you 'Brother Dugu' from now on?"

"Ah, that's right, Brother Li!"

At this point, Dugu Baitian revealed a satisfied smile, patted the boy's shoulder with delight, and his eyes flashed with a complex light.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two walked away arm in arm.

"Brother Dugu, I've been lost in the Sword Ruins for a month now. I'd appreciate it if you could escort me out..."

"No problem, with me here, you can rest assured, nothing will happen!"

"..."

The two walked further and further away, leaving the green-haired turtle standing alone in the same spot, its eyes filled with confusion.

No, what happened?

Who is it, and where is it?

The green-haired turtle snapped out of its daze and hurriedly chased after it, its four legs practically smoking as it ran.

"Damn it, Li kid, you heartless bastard, wait for me!"
