Chapter 1134: Great Daos are Like Clear Skies
Virtually no one could see the dao fight occurring in the valley. The members of the Li Clan who were present had their life forces covered by a shadow, so everything around them was pitch black.
It was the same with time and space. They became an isolated instance of space-time, and could be no more seen than a blind person could see color.
However, far in the distance, there was something watching the battle. In the fields of the Dao Immortal Sect, Poison Monarch was observing an empty space right in front of him. Previously, there had been two poisonous plants there. One had turned into light and disappeared, while the other... withered into ashes.
Obviously, Poison Monarch wasn’t just looking at the representation of the events playing out. His gaze penetrated space-time, allowing him to see what was happening in the valley. A meaningful smile had played out on his face.
“Gaining enlightenment of my legacy was enough to connect to me via karma,” he said softly. “But now you’re going to kill my apprentice? In that case... the moment the legacy is complete, the karma will truly materialize. After that, I can use that karma to take away your dao and never return it. The Immortal Paragon said we couldn’t seek information. But the karma I will reap was sown before that.”

Poison Monarch’s voice wasn’t audible in the valley. But Li Mengtu’s battle spirit was burning brightly. It became a sea of fire that engulfed the surroundings. As a result, he became like a shooting star flying out of the sky. He was a fierce beam of light that headed directly toward the shadowy outline that he could just barely ‘see.’
He moved faster and faster! As the fire burned, it consumed, not just his fleshly body, but also his cultivation base and life force. The only thing it left behind were his dreams.... They became what drove him. His obsessions.
Li Mengtu had not lived a life that could be considered one of radiance and light. But he was upright and honest, especially when it came to dao fights. He respected the concept of the dao. Therefore, he would not allow his own dao heart to be tainted. Nor would he bow his head.
From the time he was young, he worked hard at cultivation. He strove to reach great heights. He strove to look down on everything. He strove to reach the most paramount of all things, which was canon. He wanted his clan to recognize him. He wanted his Master to recognize him. He wanted the whole world to recognize him....
His bloodline didn’t come from a Fifth Star Ring cultivator. But that didn’t reduce his desire to search for the dao. And he was not inferior in any way to any of the other Shining Stars from the Fifth Star Ring. He was the one who ensured his clan rose to prominence. He could rise to the highest heights, and enter the place that everyone yearned for constantly. The Immortal Capital!
