Chapter 601: Chapter 429: Imparting the Tao and Teaching the Dharma_2

Xuan Yuezi at this moment extended a finger: "Dao Court Mountain, towering at three thousand zhang. In this End of Dharma era, no one can ascend this mountain, but Taiyi can go to the peak to cultivate."

Li Yi glanced forward.

That Dao Court Mountain was indeed the colossal monument standing in the midst of the Dao Court. It was erected during the era of cultivation, yet in today’s End of Dharma era, Dao Court Mountain had become an impassable peril, with no one willing to approach.

"Alright, I’ll cultivate at the peak of Dao Court Mountain."

Li Yi’s eyes lit up. He could use the Thunderbolt Fighter or Good Wings to directly reach the summit, then establish his own Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

He then turned to face the crowd: "I wish to cultivate but lack a master to guide me. Are there any seniors willing to join me at Dao Court Mountain and teach me the Dao skill?"

Ascend Dao Court Mountain to teach Taiyi the Dao skill?

Upon hearing this, an unmistakable sense of destiny emerged from the void. A surge of inexplicable excitement welled up in their hearts, as if this were an unprecedented opportunity, not to be missed, or they would regret it for life.

"This humble Daoist is willing." Tu Daoist hurriedly responded.

Wu the Taoist, trembling slightly, stepped out from the corner: "I will risk this aging frame of mine to impart the wisdom of a lifetime as quickly as I can."

"I am willing as well," said Nun Liu.

"I wish to accompany Taiyi by his side, cultivating day and night," Xiang Xiangzi also said, her beautiful eyes lighting up, her Primordial Spirit Flower inexplicably trembling.

Xuan Yuezi added, "I can also teach Taiyi the Dao."

In an instant, the crowd scrambled to seize this rare opportunity.

Yet Li Yi, contemplating Dao studies, could not possibly require so many mentors. Should there be too many, he would be forced to divert his energy to take care of them. Thus, he only wished to select two people to impart the Dao, preferably individuals capable of enduring hardship. Moreover, he dared not bring frail elders along, fearing that they might pass away midway, forcing him to host funerals instead of cultivating.

After some thought, he bowed politely to the crowd: "This cultivation endeavor atop Dao Court Mountain will be harsh. Hence, I would like Tu Daoist and Immortal Xiang Xiangzi to accompany me."

"Haha, no problem, no problem. This aging Daoist is strong and robust; mere hardships are nothing," Tu Daoist exclaimed excitedly, his face flushed, reveling in seeming good fortune.

"Taiyi truly knows how to cherish me," Xiang Xiangzi said in delight, her beautiful eyes rippling with charm, looking utterly captivating.

"Alas..." Wu the Taoist sighed, feeling that his old bones were undoubtedly past their prime.

Nun Liu also felt regret, though she could only accept the truth, knowing her frail body was indeed unsuitable for ascending Dao Court Mountain.

Xuan Yuezi nodded: "With Xiang Xiangzi at hand to impart all her knowledge, I can rest assured. She has thoroughly mastered the essence of Heavenly Dao Sect’s Dao skill and is certain not to disappoint Taiyi."

"No time to waste; let’s depart now," Li Yi declared immediately.

"Exactly, let’s set off for the summit of Dao Court Mountain this instant," Tu Daoist said excitedly, then bowed to Xiang Xiangzi: "From now on, Immortal, I humbly rely on your guidance."

"Bald donkey, tonight I will throw you off the summit of Dao Court Mountain while you sleep to stop you from disturbing my alone time with Taiyi," Xiang Xiangzi said coldly.

"..."

Tu Daoist’s joyous expression froze instantly.

Li Yi then walked over to Wu the Taoist and Nun Liu, leaving a Spirit Blood Pill and ten Spirit Stones: "Dear seniors, please take care of yourselves. Once I succeed in cultivation, I will need your assistance with many matters."

"We dare not, we dare not," Wu the Taoist and Nun Liu exclaimed, overwhelmed with gratitude. They had initially thought their hopes were gone but had never imagined this turn of events would bring new possibilities.

Tu Daoist suddenly remembered something and dashed to Wu the Taoist, grabbing his collar: "Wu the Taoist, while I am away, make haste to find my senior brother. Retrieve the Rain Summoning Technique and redeem the Heaven and Earth Furnace for me."

"Leave it to me; rest assured," Wu the Taoist solemnly nodded.

With ten Spirit Stones, he could accomplish many things.

Nun Liu added, "I will also redeem our Three Flowers Sect’s Dao Artifact, the Hundred Herbs Chart. Fellow Daoists, await my good news."

She had wisened up as well.

If Taiyi could cultivate in the End of Dharma era, their Dao legacies had hope of revival. Prompt action was indeed the prudent choice.

As for why Taiyi could cultivate in the End of Dharma era, she wisely refrained from asking, for such matters were earth-shattering secrets, better known to as few as possible.

Afterward, Li Yi departed from the Heavenly Fragrance Building, taking the two selected individuals in preparation for setting off to Dao Court Mountain.

However, just as the trio stepped out of the Heavenly Fragrance Building, they found two squads of soldiers stationed on both sides of the street. Clad in armor, armed with swords and bows, they exuded menacing hostility. At their forefront stood two Daoists donning Daoist robes, horsetail whisks in hand, with "Tianyi" embroidered on their garments.

"You killed someone from the Imperial Court and thought you could leave? Do you truly think this place lacks the law?" A middle-aged Daoist strode forward, speaking coldly.

"Not good, Tianyi Sect’s people," Xiang Xiangzi’s expression shifted slightly.

Tu Daoist was equally shocked: "Did not Xuan Yuezi act earlier to deter them? Why do they still dare to come?"

"Likely seizing the moment to stir up trouble further. It seems they could no longer wait," Xiang Xiangzi remarked.

Yet, before her words ended...

Suddenly.

An arrow shot with a sharp whistle toward her.

The assailant was ruthless, intending to probe whether Xiang Xiangzi still possessed the strength to fight back.

But quickly, the arrow suspended in mid-air before Xiang Xiangzi’s face, held effortlessly by a hand.

"Imperial Court’s methods are indeed tyrannical—meeting us and seeking to kill outright?" Li Yi’s silver eyes scanned the scene.

The middle-aged Daoist paused momentarily, then scrutinized Li Yi, revealing a hint of intrigue before sneering: "So, this is why the Heavenly Fragrance Building dared to defy the Imperial Court today—they’ve found themselves a guardian. Xiang Xiangzi, do you truly believe this new ally can contend against the Imperial Court?"

"Certainly peculiar, as though possessing a cultivated aura, but very young. Let me advise you, don’t involve yourself in the disputes within the Dao Court. This matter doesn’t concern you; leave immediately. Do not, for a Taoist nun, throw away your life in vain," the other, older Daoist said, stroking his beard with narrowed eyes.

"Is the Dao Court your property? You say leave, and I’m to leave?" Li Yi retorted while tossing the arrow in his hand.

Instantly.

The arrow landed before the Daoist, exploding into the ground and leaving a massive pit.

"Do not block my way, or face the consequences," Li Yi said.

The elder Daoist’s expression shifted: "Indeed intriguing—having cultivation in the End of Dharma era is truly remarkable. However, such skills are merely superficial tricks. You ought to realize, even in this era, those capable of wielding magic within the Imperial Court aren’t scarce. Young man, don’t make poor choices. We only came for the Heavenly Dao Sect, not for you. If you’re wise, leave now. Tang Yi, you leave as well."

Tu Daoist immediately cursed: "Jin Zhong Daoist, to hell with you! Tianyi Sect thinks itself invincible? Listen, your remaining strength among Tri-Floral Realm cultivators isn’t much. No need to bluff; I know all about your capabilities. Intimidate me? This bald Daoist has seen it all. Go on, flaunt your Tianyi Sect’s Big and Small Ruyi or your River Flipping Dao skill, and let’s see if any of it still works."

Jin Zhong, the elder Daoist, instantly revealed murderous intent: "The Daoqi Sect has dwindling members, and Tang Yi, are you really unafraid of dying and extinguishing your lineage?"

"Afraid of nothing!" Tu Daoist sneered: "Taiyi, go show them some discipline. This Daoist fully supports you from the rear."

"..." Li Yi cast him a glance.

"Taiyi?"

Jin Zhong turned his attention back to Li Yi. For reasons unknown, hearing this name suddenly triggered a sense of impending crisis within him.

This man might bring significant trouble. He must be eliminated swiftly.

"Alright then, leaving this backer unchecked would indeed hinder our entry to the Heavenly Fragrance Building today." Jin Zhong subsequently signaled to the other Daoist.

The younger Daoist promptly raised his hand with a commanding gesture: "Attack, kill the three of them."

"Kill!" A troop of burly armored soldiers bellowed, brandishing their swords and charging forward.

They possessed no cultivation but were ordinary humans.

Yet in the End of Dharma era, armored and armed ordinary men constituted a fearsome fighting force.

"I have done absolutely nothing but seek a tranquil place to study Dao skills. Why must you compel me to kill?"

"Since you wish to test my limits, leave your lives here altogether."

Li Yi slowly turned around, his dazzling silver Sword Gang already forming fully, accompanied by the overwhelming presence of a Martial Artist emanating forth, bearing a dominion-like intensity over eight states.

With mere unveiling of his aura...

The charging armored soldiers abruptly halted, showing visible signs of panic.

For the following moment, a silver Sword Gang streaked through the air.
