Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

#984 - A cancer

Li Chengfeng shook his head firmly and said, "You're wrong. I never made a promise to protect the entire human realm, so I don't need to fulfill it.

But if I really made such a vow and became your guardian, I would never change, because that would be my supreme duty.

However, you are different.

After you became the Heavenly Dao, as the origin of the human realm, you gained the power of immortality and freedom.

But you didn't fulfill your duty, and instead, you tried to change all the rules and order.

So, that's where your mistake lies."

The Heavenly Dao nodded slightly upon hearing this and said, "I understand.

In that case, I will kill you and completely integrate you into my Heavenly Dao rules.

I know your strength and everything about you like the back of my hand.

As the Heavenly Dao of the human realm, your growth and every progress you make cannot escape my eyes.

I already knew that you cultivated the Myriad Laws Returning to One, and I deliberately used my rules to let you obtain many benefits. All of this was carefully designed by me.

I have cultivated many talents, but in fact, all of this is under my control.

For example, Xuanwu, the reason why he was able to enter that mysterious Island of Reincarnation was also the result of my secret manipulations.

Another example is the Northern Sea Demon Lord, being able to merge with the Northern Sea. If it weren't for my Heavenly Dao's thoughts, he would not have been able to complete this shocking feat even in death.

Everything I do is to screen and raise 'gu'. I want to choose someone who is most suitable to carry my will.

I will carefully teach them, cultivate them, and take their bodies, carrying my thoughts and will, to attain enlightenment and ascend to the Immortal Realm.

And you, Li Chengfeng, although you are also a rare genius, you are unwilling to become my puppet and unwilling to carry my will.

Therefore, you are destined to become a sacrifice in my plan."

Li Chengfeng nodded in sudden understanding and said, "So that's how it is. I'm just a kindling you chose."

The Heavenly Dao nodded frankly and admitted, "That's right.

Over the years, I have been secretly observing your growth.

I found that you were improving rapidly, so I deliberately sent all the benefits to you, just to see how far you could develop.

In fact, I gave many benefits to many people I favored, just to observe their growth, but at the most critical moment,

You still stood out and won in the end.

Therefore, I decided to devour you and take your power for myself.

Originally, all of this could have been smoother. As long as you were willing to become my guardian, everything would have been a natural progression.

But unfortunately, you refused.

Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then I have no choice but to do it myself.

Other Heavenly Daos may not be able to take action personally, and can only choose guardians, or just slightly change the rules, but I am different from them.

Just like you said, I was sealed, and therefore I became distorted, so I can kill you."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng didn't show any surprise on his face, and just said calmly, "There's nothing to be surprised about. I already knew it.

In fact, I also calculated all of this.

I have been cultivating smoothly to this day, and although I have encountered many hardships, they have all been turned into good fortune by me.

I once wondered, why do so many secret techniques and magical treasures fall into my hands one after another? Only now do I understand that all of this was manipulated by you behind the scenes, deliberately done."

The Heavenly Dao nodded, "That's right, in fact, just like the old goat, since I found out that he was tired of being my guardian,

I had an idea and prepared this big show. I wanted him to send a dangerous signal as a guardian.

If you had agreed to be the guardian, then all my calculations would have succeeded, but you didn't agree, and my calculations failed."

Li Chengfeng smiled without saying a word, "Hahaha, good, so that's how it is. The Heavenly Dao is indeed the Heavenly Dao, able to control the human realm, once distorted, it is truly a tumor.

If today you may not be able to kill me, because the one talking to you now is my substitute puppet. My true body is not here. My true body is in the Northern Sea."

The Heavenly Dao smiled without saying a word, "Li Chengfeng, you are indeed cunning. You don't even frown when telling lies.

Even if you have cultivated to the highest realm of the human realm, you are still so shameless. Do you think I don't know that the Northern Sea is your substitute puppet?

Your substitute puppet is in the Northern Sea, and your true body is here, otherwise, how could you be so powerful."

Li Chengfeng said with a smile, "Haha, the Heavenly Dao is indeed the Heavenly Dao, you can even see this. It seems that what you said is true.

I was testing whether you have been helping me all along, or if you were just talking nonsense.

It seems that you know me very well, which means that you have indeed been helping me and watching me grow, so you know my character, not sticking to trivialities."

The Heavenly Dao smiled gently, but that smile was filled with endless ridicule and disdain. She slowly said, "It is truly the ultimate shamelessness to say such high-sounding words.

You are the first person who can say shamelessness so brilliantly.

Okay, then accept the baptism of thunder law."

Saying that, she gently waved her sleeve, as if she had just brushed away a piece of dust, but the sky instantly changed.

Countless thunderbolts burst out from the void, turning into long dragons, each of which was hundreds of feet long. They hovered and circled in the air.

Emitting a deafening roar.

There were as many as one hundred and thirty thunder dragons formed by thunderbolts, and each one was comparable to a cultivator in the God Transformation stage.

Zhou Xinxin looked at the sky full of thunder dragons, laughed loudly, his voice full of triumph and arrogance: "How is it? Li Chengfeng, how can you be my opponent? Although I haven't sent down divine punishment in these years,

But it doesn't mean I haven't been brewing power. I have condensed all the punishment and anger into the power of this moment, ready to destroy you in one fell swoop.

In the face of such power, how can you resist? How can you be my opponent?"

However, facing this earth-shattering power, Li Chengfeng remained calm and smiled, "Of course I understand that this is one of your trump cards, with infinite power.

However, this is exactly what I want.

Without experiencing a real life-and-death duel, I have always felt that my Dao is not complete enough.

Although I have already returned the Myriad Laws to One and tempered myself in every way, I always feel that something is missing.

What is missing is the real experience, the kind of impermanence and unpredictability between life and death.

Although I have experienced many life-and-death tribulations, they have all been cleverly resolved by me, which has also led to me never truly experiencing what it means to be unpredictable between life and death.

Therefore, this time I will use my true will to have a life-and-death duel with you."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao also nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes: "Good, as expected, I didn't choose the wrong person. You are indeed a rare opponent.

If I can get everything from you, I will surely become a true immortal and be able to occupy a place in the Immortal Realm.

Because in this world, there has never been a Heavenly Dao who has insisted on cultivating into a Celestial Immortal.

Then, let me be the first Heavenly Dao to do this today."
