"It's coming, it's coming. With the support of the Heavenly Dao Will of the Dao Integration stage, the rate of improvement for the Dixu Heavenly Dao has indeed increased significantly."
Li Qi's figure reappeared in the Heavenly Dao space at some unknown point.
Decades had unknowingly passed since Li Qi's last return from the Yin Zong District.
And with the help of the Heavenly Dao Wills Li Qi had obtained from Yin Chuan, the strength of the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will had improved significantly over these decades.
Using his authority as the Plane Master to sense,
Li Qi could clearly feel that
the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will had now reached the peak of the Dao Integration stage.
And beneath this peak Dao Integration strength, the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will was still continuously absorbing energy, seemingly attempting to break through its current limitations.
However, the threshold from the peak Dao Integration stage to the Tribulation Crossing stage seemed unimaginably difficult.
No matter how hard the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will tried, it appeared impregnable at this moment.
Dixu Realm Heavenly Dao Will (red-faced): [
○･｀Д´･○]
Baby is angry!!!
"I wonder when the Dixu Heavenly Dao will be able to break through its limitations and reach the strength of the Tribulation Crossing stage."
Li Qi couldn't help but sigh.
Snapping back to reality, he glanced at the remaining Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao Wills that had not yet been devoured by the Dixu Heavenly Dao.
There were still quite a few.
The main reason was his loyal and hardworking subordinate, Yin Chuan.
The war waged by the Plane Masters of the Yin Zong District had ended more than a decade ago.
The regions that had once besieged the Yin Zong District had been accounted for, some harvested and some surrendering.
Furthermore, Yin Chuan had collected a considerable amount of Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao Wills for Li Qi during the subsequent operations.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao Wills snatched from the Yin Zong Heavenly Dao decades ago,
although numerous, they would not have withstood the Dixu Heavenly Dao's consumption over these decades.
"Will the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage before I do?"
Li Qi couldn't help but think to himself.
At the same time, he sensed the strength of his own cultivation realm.
Over these decades, although Li Qi hadn't been in constant seclusion,
spending a considerable amount of time indulging his interests and utilizing various attribute points he had previously neglected,
this did not mean Li Qi's strength had stagnated.
Over these past few decades,
Li Qi's realm had successfully advanced from the seventh heaven of Dao Integration to the eighth heaven of Dao Integration a few days prior.
Although it appeared much weaker compared to the peak Dao Integration strength of his own Dixu Heavenly Dao,
it was important to note that for Li Qi, as long as he cultivated steadily, with the boost from his various attribute points, any realm barriers were essentially non-existent once the time was right.
However, other cultivators, or beings like his Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will,
did not have it as easy as Li Qi, breaking through limitations as easily as eating and drinking.
For them, the barriers Li Qi could casually break might be insurmountable mountains they could never overcome in their lifetimes.
Even though his Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will was being nurtured by him and its strength was improving exponentially faster than the Heavenly Dao Wills of other minor worlds,
if luck was not on their side, they might never cross the threshold from peak Dao Integration to the Tribulation Crossing stage, even after hundreds, thousands, or even longer periods.
"But if the Dixu Heavenly Dao truly breaks through to the strength of the Tribulation Crossing stage someday, it will likely cause a tremendous commotion."
Thinking of this, Li Qi's brow furrowed slightly.
He still remembered that when the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao had only advanced from peak Void Refining to Dao Integration, the commotion had attracted cultivators from nearly the entire Xiao Yan District to spectate.
The commotion caused by the breakthrough from peak Dao Integration to the Tribulation Crossing stage would likely be many times greater than the previous breakthrough.
Furthermore!
There was one more major problem.
As long as someone with intentions investigated, they would clearly know that a few hundred years ago, his Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will was merely at the Void Refining stage.
While a breakthrough from Void Refining to Dao Integration could be attributed to the accumulation of a long period,
a seemingly inconspicuous Plane Master, in just a few hundred years, managed to propel his minor world's Heavenly Dao across a major stage.
From the strength of Dao Integration to the strength of Tribulation Crossing was simply inexplicable.
It was even possible that a persistent investigator might link him and the Penguin Medicine Pavilion.
"No, I need to make preparations in advance."
Li Qi had already made up his mind. Although he didn't know when the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will would truly reach the strength of the Tribulation Crossing stage,
it was best to prepare for it early.
Otherwise, if this fat pig of his were to actually achieve something and break through to the Tribulation Crossing stage with just a sneeze,
it was likely that all the powerful cultivators in the vicinity of this Void Black Market would come to spectate.
Li Qi did not want to be spectated and have his Dixu Realm exposed to everyone's view.
His intention was always to hide in the shadows and be a sly old dog.
Such matters of taking blame would naturally be handled by his natal spiritual puppet, and now with Yin Chuan, there was no need for him to act personally.
"I need to conceive a technique that can shroud the commotion caused by the Dixu Heavenly Dao Will's breakthrough."
Li Qi thought to himself.
As he considered this, he couldn't help but frown.
Although he had never personally witnessed a Dao Integration stage Heavenly Dao breaking through to the Tribulation Crossing stage,
it was easy to imagine that
when Yin Chuan, as a cultivator, broke through from Dao Integration to become a Heavenly Dao, there was already a significant commotion.
If it were a Heavenly Dao making the breakthrough, the commotion would likely not be much less than that of a cultivator's breakthrough.
"I need to create a formation that can cover the Heavenly Dao pressure of the Dixu Realm!"
Tribulation Crossing stage Heavenly Dao pressure! Covered by a formation without leaking a single trace.
At this thought, Li Qi felt that his formation skills accumulated over the past millennium were being put to a great challenge.
Perhaps now, for Li Qi, killing a Tribulation Crossing stage cultivator would be far easier than creating such a formation that could conceal the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao's breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing stage strength.
"For the time being, I probably won't be able to return to the Dixu Realm."
Li Qi shook his head to himself and murmured casually.
His statement of not being able to return was naturally not due to a lack of capability.
Rather, the impending breakthrough of the Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will to the Tribulation Crossing stage was a major event that could not be taken lightly.
The Dixu Realm's Heavenly Dao Will reaching the Tribulation Crossing stage strength would also be of great benefit to him as the Plane Master.
Li Qi should indeed spend some effort in the Heavenly Dao space to meticulously conceive a new formation.
"Let's begin."
With a single thought.
The next moment, Li Qi directly immersed his consciousness.
In his mind, all the profound formations he had ever set up or seen appeared one by one.
Learning from each other, integrating with each other.
An initially blurry formation pattern became increasingly clear in Li Qi's mind.
