Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 021: Dao Rhythm


Li Hu, who reappeared before the people of the Martial World, was as formidable as three years ago; whenever he took action, it would shock the entire world.

The Martial World was in turmoil because of the battle outside Xiangyun City, stirring countless undercurrents and storms.

It can be said that although Li Hu only appeared twice in the eyes of the people, each appearance stirred significant storms in the Martial World, gathering all worldly eyes upon him.

Admiration, melancholy, determination, everyone who heard of Li Hu's deeds felt an endless stream of emotions within.

However, the external storms had little influence on Li Hu, and he felt no need to pay attention.

It had been nearly ten years since he came to this Martial Arts World.

In ten years, he spent most of his time cultivating and reading, even when Zhang Feng, suspected to be the protagonist of the Celestial Essence Sect, appeared before him, he had no desire to participate in the "plot".

Although he didn't know what strange change occurred beyond the Gate of Truth, Li Hu was very clear that his coming to this world was only accidental, and he was just a passerby in the Martial World.

His foundation, his everything remained in the Main World.

From beginning to end, his goal was to shatter the void, relying on the Gate of Truth above his soul to return to the body of the Giant Dragon.

Having defeated the mysterious Jue Wutian, Li Hu did not linger, directly delving deeper into the Desolate Mountain Range.

Although Jue Wutian fled, he was severely injured by that strike, dead or heavily wounded, naturally without the strength or willingness to trouble Li Hu again.

There were no more obstacles on the way.

"Shattering the void, finally seeing a glimmer of insight..."

In the lush forest, Li Hu traversed the dense woods, his vast Spiritual Power scanning around while pondering the gains from the previous battle with Jue Wutian.

Great gains indeed.

Although he had records of the Netherworld Divine Skill, he had not cultivated it, naturally unaware of the true power after breaking through to the Twelfth Layer.

This battle with Jue Wutian not only allowed Li Hu to see another form of Martial Arts, but it also sparked more ideas.

Especially the collision of those two moves, which caused even the void to crack.

Though far from breaking the void, it was like a tightly closed door revealing a slight crack, seeing a thread of insight.

At that moment, the Gate of Truth deep within his soul clearly stirred, the fierce worldly binding force slightly loosened, making Li Hu more certain that shattering the void was the method to return to the Main World.

"Devour, compress, the extreme of Power..."

Some thoughts that never existed before began to emerge from his mind.

This battle with the pinnacle of Martial Arts gave him particularly substantial insights.

At Li Hu's level, progressing on his own path was difficult, the high-level opponents provided him with much inspiration.

"Significant gains, although not enough to immediately break the Grandmaster bottleneck and enter the true pinnacle of Martial Arts, the Celestial Human Realm, I already have a premonition that as long as I find that ancient mysterious stone, it will allow me to smoothly enter the Celestial Human Realm."

Back then, the Dao Ancestor and Martial Ancestor discussed under Purple Bamboo Mountain.

The mysterious stone arrived through space-time, the Martial Ancestor studied it for seven days and nights, thus founding the Martial Arts of this world.

It can be said, all Martial Arts in this world originate from that mysterious stone.

Li Hu held more than ninety-nine percent of the Martial Arts in the world, understood tens of thousands of Martial Arts Secret Manuals, comprehending most of the mysteries from start to end of Martial Arts Qi Cultivation.

But ultimately, he lacked that final thread, yet to achieve Perfection.

Thus, he stood before the Celestial Human Gate without progress.

Li Hu knew clearly what he lacked, and where his opportunity to break the barriers lay.

If he could trace back to ancient origins, witness the first ray of Martial Arts glory, it would be the moment Li Hu achieved Martial Arts Perfection, breaking into the Celestial Human Realm.

Li Hu traversed step by step among the mountains and forests on his journey.

Each step was measured with precision.

Spiritual Power scanned constantly around.

Time passed in a flash, in the blink of an eye seven days and nights had passed.

During these seven days and nights, Li Hu kept walking,

without a moment of pause.

No need for sleep, food, water, nor rest.

His aura brimmed, ethereal like an Immortal, without a speck of dust.

He had a sense akin to those who feed on Qi and are immortal.

Martial Arts reached divine precision, at his level, viewed as deities by ordinary people was not an exaggeration.

Finally, at the end of the seventh night.

As dawn broke, Li Hu followed the guidance of the Celestial Secret and arrived at a cliff-enclosed valley.

Clouds shrouded it, towering cliffs!

This was likely the valley reached by the fortunate hunter who obtained the Martial Arts Origin Scripture.

According to legend, the Martial Arts Origin Scripture recorded by Guan Yinzi was half destroyed by purple lightning, but its final whereabouts were not detailed.

Now possessing the Martial Arts Origin Scripture, Li Hu's keen eyesight recognized the possibility that the ancient manuscript might be the original struck by celestial lightning in Guan Yinzi's hands.

Combined with the hunter's account, that place contained both the book and a peculiar stone.

Li Hu speculated that after the Dao Ancestor and Martial Ancestor departed Purple Bamboo Mountain, Guan Yinzi, upon leaving with the Dao Ancestor, placed the damaged Martial Arts Origin Scripture beside the mysterious stone.

Chronicles of time, sea changes.

The Purple Bamboo Mountain had vanished without trace, the mysterious stone and Martial Arts Origin Scripture remained hidden within the layered mountains, coming into the world today.

"It should be here."

Feeling the vibrant and eager Spiritual Mechanism within his body, Li Hu did not pause, stepping into the valley as though traversing the void.

Clean, serene.

A lush purple bamboo stood, a small stream encircled it, making clear sounds.

Under the purple bamboo were two timeless mats, spotless as if time had frozen there.

And atop the mats lay a stone filled with mysterious patterns, half buried in the soil.

Upon entering the valley, Li Hu knew he had come to the right place.

Here, it likely was the site where the Dao Ancestor and Martial Ancestor sat and discussed the Dao.

Above the mats, the stone filled with mysterious patterns was indeed that mysterious stone!

The entire valley was permeated with an enigmatic and indescribable aura of Dao and Celestial Secret.

Even at the peak of worldly Martial Arts, Li Hu still felt an incomprehensible mystery in the face of this Dao essence.

It was this pervasive aura that allowed the valley to remain untouched by thousands of years, unchanged from yesterday.

"Celestial Human..."

Li Hu pondered,

The aura between voids not only made him feel his gaze traversing time-space, as if witnessing the image of two great Dao sages sitting and discussing the Dao in days gone by!
