Chen Nan looked at the seven rays of light of different colors before him and murmured, "Entering the Dao is not that difficult!"
"......"
The Nine-Headed Fiery Lion lowered its head, not looking at Chen Nan.
It feared it might not be able to control its desire to beat him.
Of course.
It knew the outcome.
It was no match for him at all.
"Perhaps, I can try to create a world!" A fiery light flashed in Chen Nan's eyes.
His expression was solemn, and he formed a hand seal.
The seven rays of light instantly became stronger, weaving together to construct a small world.
Chen Nan had created small worlds with the power of laws when he was in the Immortal Realm.
But there was an essential difference between a small world created with the power of laws and one created with Dao techniques.
Yes.
A small world created with the power of laws had the same Heavenly Dao laws as the outside world.
It could only be considered a world attached to the world.
But the small world before him was different.
This small world possessed independent Heavenly Dao laws.
This was a completely independent small world.
"You, you, you... you actually created a world?" The Nine-Headed Fiery Lion was already numb.
Chen Nan: "As long as one possesses the seven elemental Great Daos, one can create a world. Is this something to be surprised about?"
"......" The Nine-Headed Fiery Lion was speechless.
It felt Chen Nan was showing off.
But it had no evidence.
In fact, it also knew that Chen Nan was not showing off.
Many people knew that by mastering the seven elemental Great Daos, one could create an independent world.
But...
Across the entire Three Realms.
So many Sages.
Who among them had simultaneously mastered the seven elemental Great Daos?
Even a Saint Ancestor like Patriarch Hongjun did not possess such monstrous power!
Chen Nan: "Let's go, let's sit in my small world!"
"Boss, can I become the supreme god in your small world? Like the role of the Jade Emperor?" The Nine-Headed Fiery Lion's eyes were full of longing.
"Alright!"
Chen Nan readily agreed.
"Boss, you're so good, I love you to death!" The Nine-Headed Fiery Lion roared and then flew into the small world created by Chen Nan.
This small world was not large, only a little over a hundred square kilometers.
At this moment, it was barren.
Chen Nan floated quietly in mid-air, and the land before him underwent earth-shattering changes.
A surging river divided the land.
Majestic mountain ranges rose from the ground.
Countless trees, like bamboo shoots after rain, instantly grew to a hundred zhang in height, obscuring the sky.
Innumerable flowers and plants appeared on the ground.
"I can catch some creatures and put them in!" Although Chen Nan had created a world, he could not yet create life, as he only mastered the seven elemental Great Daos, while creating life required the Great Dao of Life.
And he had not yet comprehended this Dao technique.
"Master, you should focus on cultivating Dao techniques now," the Nine-Headed Fiery Lion said. "Although you have created a world, the coverage of your Dao techniques is too small."
"As far as I know, there are powerful humans who can cover millions of miles with their Dao techniques. Once someone falls into another's Dao technique, they would rather die than live."
Chen Nan nodded slightly.
Dao techniques were like laws.
Although there were no explicit level divisions.
But the wider one's Dao technique coverage, the stronger their power would be.
He knew this.
"Let's go to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave first. I'll go into seclusion during this time," Chen Nan said lightly, then took the Nine-Headed Fiery Lion to the outside world.
He looked up at the sky, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. "It's been so many days since I arrived in the Divine Realm, I wonder how Old Li and Qinglong are doing!"
"I must cross the Nine Heavens as soon as possible, go directly to Lingxiao, and reclaim the Three Lives Stone!"
------
Earth.
Above Shennongjia.
The wind howled.
Thunder and lightning flashed.
Dark clouds that blotted out the sun covered the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Li Mu, with white hair and beard, held a long sword.
He stood on a precipice, panting heavily.
His gaze was extremely solemn.
He was old.
In the face of time, everyone was like an ant.
No one could resist the gentle yet sharp blade of aging.
Not to mention that fifty-eight years had passed since Chen Nan left.
Although during these fifty-eight years, Qinglong had used a secret technique to raise his cultivation to the Mahayana stage.
But it couldn't preserve his former appearance.
Fifty-eight years.
For mortals, this was bound to be a long number.
It was the lifetime of many people.
From being born, to toddling, to entering school, marrying and having children...
But for Li Mu.
These fifty-eight years were like a blink of an eye.
Because he had been doing one thing.
That was to find reincarnated celestial beings and resist the invasion of the alien demons.
Daxia was an ancient Eastern country, with many unknown places.
For example, Shennongjia.
Legends of wild men in Shennongjia had existed for a hundred years.
And it had always been a mysterious and dangerous area.
However.
Twenty years ago.
Shennongjia had always been a mysterious area.
Only some legends about wild men.
But on the Mid-Autumn Festival night twenty years ago.
A passage connecting to the outer realms appeared in Shennongjia, and many powerful alien demons entered Earth from the passage.
Fortunately, Shennongjia's terrain was complex, like a natural formation.
This trapped the alien demons and prevented them from rushing into the mortal world.
Li Mu learned of this and rushed here with Qinglong. After their efforts, they finally killed the alien demons that had arrived on Earth.
However.
They could not block the entrance.
So.
He stayed here for twenty years.
Fortunately, the strength of the alien demons that came did not exceed the Mahayana stage.
He had slain them all with his sword.
But three months ago.
Even more powerful alien demons entered Earth.
Facing these more powerful alien demons, Li Mu was no match for them at all.
In a moment of crisis.
Qinglong stepped forward, thus protecting Earth.
However, it was also severely injured.
Even if Qinglong was strong, it was at most a remnant soul.
It was not enough to resist the fierce attacks of the alien demons.
For example, today.
Eight powerful alien demons suddenly appeared, each exuding a suffocating aura.
He really wanted to fight.
But Qinglong had said.
If you make a move, your whole village will have to hold a banquet.
Therefore.
Li Mu, with self-awareness, gave up the idea of making a move.
However.
He was very worried about Qinglong's safety.
Because he knew.
With Qinglong's current strength, fighting even one powerful alien demon was very dangerous.
Not to mention, today it was facing eight powerful alien demons.
Boom!
A deafening thunderclap resounded throughout the four seas.
A phantom of a green dragon appeared in the void. It looked calmly towards the depths of Shennongjia and spoke with a cold voice: "Mere alien demons, you dare to invade my human territory?"
"Do you really think this dragon master is a vegetarian?"
"If you want to invade human territory, you will have to step over this dragon master's corpse!"
Suddenly.
A humanoid alien demon hovered in the night sky, looking down at Qinglong from a high position, and uttered in a hoarse voice: "Killing you, how difficult is it?"
