Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 304: Immortal Dao Flower, Myriad Dao Sea, Great Dao Gate, Great Dao Mountain, Myriad Dao Pressing Overhead

"Are there still so many people?" Han Li looked down at the entire Great Dao Altar, taking in the sight of the geniuses from each level, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

There were more people remaining than he had expected, with a total of forty to fifty thousand.

"It's a pity that the number of people doesn't matter. Most of them are still stuck below the seventh level of the Great Dao Altar." Han Li shook his head slightly.

There were only over five thousand people on the seventh level, over three thousand on the eighth level, and just over one thousand six hundred cultivators attempting to pass the ninth level.

The content of the test changed in the last three levels, and with the mechanism of being able to surrender and start over, it greatly reduced the number of eliminations. However, among the geniuses from the various realms and worlds, there weren't many who possessed the strength of a Golden Immortal Realm Late Stage while still at the peak of True Immortal.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and looked at the area where the test was taking place on the ninth level of the Great Dao Altar. His eyes flickered as he muttered to himself in a low voice, "I wonder how many geniuses can pass the test on the ninth level."

Although he had already passed and was standing at the top of the Great Dao Altar, he couldn't see the situation inside and could only see over a thousand light clusters floating on this level's platform, each containing a peerless genius participating in the test.

Just as his voice fell, one of the light clusters burst, and a young man dressed in red with a calm expression walked out.

There was a sword mark on his forehead, and he was surrounded by a strong Dao aura and radiant immortal light, like a young Immortal Emperor. His brilliance was dazzling, and all the endless orders and rules were bowing in worship.

The young man in red glanced at the ninth level and a satisfied expression appeared on his face as he muttered to himself, "As expected, I'm still the first to pass."

Just as he was about to say the word "pass," he saw Han Li's figure and couldn't help but pause, his expression changing.

There were actually geniuses who had passed the ninth level of the Great Dao Altar faster than him.

"May I ask who Fellow Daoist is?" The young man in red's expression changed again, and he approached to inquire, his tone somewhat wary.

Han Li smiled and remained silent.

He didn't want to say much to this person and just patiently waited for the first step of the test to end.

If it weren't for the restrictions of the first step, which lasted for half a day and required waiting for the test to end before proceeding to the second step, Han Li would have left long ago.

Seeing that Han Li ignored him, a flash of danger appeared in the young man in red's eyes, but he didn't actually make a move. He was somewhat wary of the cultivator who had cleared the level earlier than him.

"Hmph~" The young man in red snorted coldly and returned to his original position.

Not long after, three beams of immortal light flashed, and the figures of three supreme geniuses appeared. Two men and one woman, their expressions changed when they saw Han Li and the young man in red. They didn't say anything and silently waited.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

The first step of the Great Dao Palace's test came to an end, with only over one thousand one hundred people passing and able to proceed to the next step to obtain more opportunities and fortunes.

"Buzz~" Beams of immortal light descended, enveloping all the cultivators on the ninth level of the Great Dao Altar. When the immortal light dissipated, the figures of Han Li and the others also disappeared.

A fairy light descended, and Han Li's figure appeared again. This time, he appeared in a vast and beautiful world, filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, peaceful and harmonious.

Over a thousand people from the Dao Altar had entered this new world, but they were not in the same location. They were scattered into multiple areas.

Han Li's gaze moved, taking in the surroundings. In the place where he was, there were less than two hundred cultivators, but they came from thirty-seven different races, with humans being the majority.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and suddenly raised his eyebrows. He felt a gentle fluctuation in the void, sacred and peaceful, making people feel refreshed and rejuvenated, all fatigue dissipating from their bodies.

In the distant sky, countless fairy lights soared into the sky, accompanied by numerous wonders and infinite visions, making that area appear like the most sacred and pure land.

At the same time, the indifferent voice of the Dao Spirit resounded in this beautiful new world.

"The second test is simple. When the Fairy Dao Flower blooms and the Dao Gate appears, push open the Dao Gate and enter it. That will be considered passing the second test."

"For the cultivators who haven't entered the Dao Gate, rewards and opportunities will be given based on their distance."

After listening to the words of the Dao Spirit from the Dao Palace, Han Li's face showed a pensive expression.

When the Fairy Dao Flower blooms and the Dao Gate appears, where will entering the Dao Gate lead to?

Will it directly lead to the location of the third test?

Indeed, the second test is "simple," even the rules are simple, and it doesn't prohibit killing.

Glancing at the cultivators around him, Han Li smiled, placed his hands behind his back, and took a step forward towards the location of the Fairy Dao Flower.

The cultivators looked at Han Li's back, their gazes flickering, their killing intent rising. They wanted to attack Han Li, but in the end, no one dared to make the first move.

They remembered that Han Li was the first cultivator to pass the first test of the Dao Palace. He definitely had a significant background and his strength was unfathomable.

If anyone stood out, they would likely be the first to die.

Seeing that no one made a move, Han Li, who had been on guard, felt somewhat disappointed. He was prepared to use thunderous means to suppress and kill any cultivators who attacked him, establishing his dominance and resolving any potential troubles. He didn't expect these geniuses to be so timid.

Han Li didn't consider that his strength was unfathomable and that he was a newcomer. Being the first to pass the ninth level of the Dao Altar, anyone who saw him would be extremely wary.

The place where Han Li descended was far away from this beautiful new world. With his current speed, it took him a full five breaths of time to arrive near the Fairy Dao Flower.

Han Li stood here, ten thousand miles away from the Fairy Dao Flower.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue forward, but he couldn't. In front of him was a barrier, and he didn't know how powerful it was.

Ten thousand miles away was the Fairy Dao Flower. The Fairy Dao Flower was very large, tens of thousands of zhang tall. It was currently blooming, with twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty petals, each petal representing a great Dao, radiating brilliant fairy light.

Countless mysteries of the fairy Dao surged out from the Fairy Dao Flower, densely filling the barrier. The Fairy Dao Flower seemed to be the source of the entire fairy Dao, evolving countless paths.

In a short period of time, the area within a radius of ten thousand miles centered around the Fairy Dao Flower turned into a sea of fairy Dao, with endless waves of profound Dao and boundless Dao rhymes evolving.

Soon, the Fairy Dao Flower completely bloomed. In the center of its petals, a simple and ancient portal materialized from the void, engraved with countless great Dao.

At this moment, the sea of countless Dao boiled, and all the great Dao surged towards that simple and ancient portal, ultimately causing it to fully manifest.

The Dao Gate!

Just a portal, yet it seemed like the origin of all great Dao.

As Han Li watched the scene before him, he was greatly shaken and gained countless insights.

He realized that this place was truly a good place, very suitable for him.

He cultivated the ultimate martial dao, following the path of refining ten thousand ways. This ten thousand ways sea, the grand dao gate, and the immortal dao flower were simply his treasures.

If he could refine the immortal dao flower, what level would his cultivation reach?

The ten thousand dao trees within his body might directly evolve to the mature stage, which meant that he would at least be able to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm.

If he could refine the grand dao gate as well, then he would have a divine weapon that suited him.

Unfortunately, this was just wishful thinking. The immortal dao flower and the grand dao gate were both tests of the Great Dao Palace. How could they allow him to take them away?

So Han Li set his sights on the ten thousand ways sea. If his guess was correct, this ten thousand ways sea would also bring him great gains.

With this in mind, Han Li no longer hesitated and walked forward directly.

As the immortal dao flower bloomed and the grand dao gate appeared, the barrier disappeared, and what came rushing towards him was the vastness of the grand dao.

Under Han Li's feet, a boat appeared. It was not a divine weapon, but a grand dao boat formed by Han Li's own understanding of the grand dao. It contained his insights into his own grand dao.

To cross the ten thousand ways sea, one must compete with the grand dao contained within it using one's own grand dao. If one could win, they would continue to advance, reaching the other shore and ultimately arriving at the location of the grand dao gate.

The speed of Han Li's grand dao boat was not fast, even slow. He intentionally made it so because his speculation proved correct.

When his grand dao boat competed with the grand dao within the ten thousand ways sea and emerged victorious, it could absorb some of the dao images and dao insights. This greatly compensated for the shortcomings in his ultimate martial dao.

Originally, Han Li had already reached the peak of the True Immortal realm and could ascend to the Golden Immortal realm at any time. But now, after absorbing some of the dao images and dao insights, the shackles on Han Li's cultivation were gradually dissipating, showing signs of breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm.

Han Li suppressed this sign. Now that he was in the Great Dao Palace, it was not yet the time to break through.

After absorbing more chances and opportunities within the Great Dao Palace, his cultivation would definitely have a significant improvement once he left the Great Dao Palace.

Other cultivators observed Han Li's progress and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this person was not as formidable as they had thought. Perhaps he was just lucky to be the first to pass the test.

Otherwise, why would his speed in crossing the grand dao sea be so slow?

Han Li had already fallen to last place.

He remained calm and composed. Although there was a time limit for this test, a distance of ten thousand miles in the ten thousand ways sea was more than enough for Han Li.

Other geniuses initially progressed quickly, but their speed dropped sharply in the middle stage. By the final stretch, their speed became extremely slow, and they occasionally had to retreat some distance. Only a few supreme geniuses could continue to advance, but they no longer had an unstoppable momentum.

On the contrary, Han Li started slowly but gradually exerted force. His speed in crossing the ten thousand ways sea became faster and faster, unstoppable, sweeping away all grand daos, suppressing countless dao images.

After several hours, Han Li was the first to reach the other shore, standing in front of the grand dao gate. He was surrounded by an extremely rich dao intent, and the dazzling dao light could hardly be suppressed, shooting straight into the sky.

Han Li activated the Ten Thousand Dao Scripture, dissipating all the extraordinary phenomena. He turned around and found that the closest cultivator to the grand dao gate was still eight thousand miles away.

It wasn't the young man in red clothes, but a stunning woman in blue clothes. When Han Li looked over, she happened to look back at him, her beautiful eyes filled with deep meaning.

Han Li smiled at her, but didn't greet her. He turned around and walked towards the grand dao gate.

If his guess was correct, the grand dao gate was the final test of the second step. Only by pushing open the grand dao gate could one enter it.

Han Li's right hand touched the Great Dao Gate, immediately sensing a heavy, vast, profound, majestic, supreme, and so on aura. It wasn't easy to push open the Great Dao Gate, but it wasn't too difficult for him either.

Han Li saw that Han Li had one hand behind his back and one hand on the Great Dao Gate. He slowly pushed forward, and the Great Dao Gate opened under pressure, bursting with endless Dao light. Countless Dao images appeared in the sky and on the ground, as if they were congratulating something.

Han Li didn't delay and walked directly into the Great Dao Gate.

After Han Li had been gone for a while, a stunningly beautiful woman in blue came to the Great Dao Gate. She pushed it, and her expression changed slightly.

With her strength, she couldn't easily push it open.

She had thought that the Great Dao Gate was easy to open when she saw Han Li's relaxed appearance, but it seemed that she had miscalculated.

After exerting a great deal of effort, the woman in blue finally managed to push open the Great Dao Gate and entered inside.

On the other side, after Han Li entered the Great Dao Gate, an ancient road spread from the sky. He walked on the ancient road, and when he passed through a light gate, he arrived at the location of the third trial.

During this time, the Dao Spirit of the Great Dao Palace spoke some words, and then something appeared in his hand. It was the opportunity and fortune to pass the second trial, already reaching the level of an Immortal Emperor.

After arriving, Han Li observed and found that this place was a mountain, quite similar to the Dao-Seeking Mountain he had climbed before.

There were nine ancient roads on this mountain, each with 129,600 steps, leading all the way to the summit.

"The third trial is to climb the Great Dao Mountain. Choose one of the ancient roads and pass through 129,600 steps to pass the trial."

"With each step on a level, the Great Dao will press down. The higher you go, the more you have to withstand the power of ten thousand Daos to reach the summit and accept the fourth trial."

The voice of the Dao Spirit of the Great Dao Palace sounded, and Han Li frowned slightly.

It was not easy to reach the summit of the Great Dao Mountain. He had to withstand the power of ten thousand Daos, all twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty of them. One wrong move could result in death.

Han Li's gaze flickered as he looked at the nearby jade steps. Without hesitation, he stepped on them.

"Dang~"

The sound of a Huangzhong Dalv rang in Han Li's ears. It was the sound of the Great Dao.

Standing on the first step of the Great Dao, Han Li could feel a kind of suppression from the Great Dao, but he still stood tall without being affected.

"Is it just the power of a Golden Immortal level?" Han Li's gaze moved slightly. He felt that it wasn't that simple.

Without thinking too much, Han Li continued to move forward. With each step on the Great Dao, a force of the Great Dao would press down on his head.

Before long, Han Li had walked over a thousand steps of the Great Dao, and there were already a thousand forces of the Great Dao pressing down on his head. Each one was at the level of a Golden Immortal, which was quite easy for Han Li.

When he stepped on the next step of the Great Dao, his eyebrows furrowed. The power of the Great Dao had increased, reaching the level of a Golden Immortal Realm second stage.

"It's a bit tricky." Han Li muttered, but he wasn't afraid. He continued to move forward, his steps neither hurried nor slow, as if he were taking a leisurely stroll in his own Holy Mountain.

It felt as if he wasn't climbing the Great Dao Mountain, but taking a walk in his own ancestral mountain.

Time passed, and unconsciously, Han Li had already reached the eighty thousandth step of the Great Dao. The power of the Great Dao at this point was extremely strong, possessing the might of an Immortal Lord at the eighth stage.

Eighty thousand forces of the Great Dao pressed down, and even Han Li felt immense pressure.
