Within the border seas.
Li Daoxuan was unaware of the battle unfolding outside.
The preaching continues, day after day, year after year.
People come and go, and those who seek enlightenment change in waves.
Li Daoxuan seemed tireless, continuing to recount his insights into the art of medicine.
The sound of the Dao lingered, faint and continuous.
As time went by, the aura surrounding him also became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable.
Some people feel a jolt to their soul when they occasionally glance at the figure high in the sky.
As more and more people spread the Dao, Li Daoxuan's reputation as the first ancestor of medicine spread widely throughout the Canglan Realm.
In a remote mountain village.
A young man looked toward Li Daoxuan with murderous intent in his eyes.
A Dao Ancestor-level figure can already compress the timeline, and each period of their self has their own peak combat power and insights, as well as their own thoughts and decisions.
Now that his Dao Fruit of Medicine has been wantonly touched, the other party is now on his kill list.
However, something unusual must be going on. The Medicine Ancestor was not a fool. He did not believe that the other party could have done such a feat of returning to the timeline to seize his Dao Fruit without having some kind of backing.
Since the matter involves the struggle for Dao Fruit, the Medicine Ancestor dared not act rashly and needed to find out more about the other party before making a move.
In the blink of an eye, he learned the general outline of the events.
"Human Immortal?"
The Medicine Ancestor frowned slightly, completely perplexed.
Could it be that someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes?
To be on the safe side, the Medicine Ancestor decided to pretend he didn't know and wait a while longer.
Decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
After years of preaching, Li Daoxuan officially embarked on the path of medicine.
The essence within the body is sublimated to its ultimate level, and the realm is naturally reached, transforming from a human immortal to a mortal immortal.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on entering the realm of Immortal in the Mortal World. You've taken another small step closer to becoming a Dao Ancestor.]
Li Daoxuan was speechless. He first announced to everyone that this preaching session was over, and that the next preaching session would be announced separately.
After dismissing everyone, Li Daoxuan returned to his residence.
"System, if the Medicine Ancestor finds out I'm preaching on someone else's turf, will he punish me?"
Li Daoxuan asked himself this question.
[The host is truly prescient. The other party not only intends to punish the host, but more importantly, wants to obliterate the host's remains, completely erasing all traces of the host in the heavens.]
"puff!"
Li Daoxuan, who had just taken a sip of tea, spat it out.
He panicked a little. He was just a nobody who had only managed to advance to the Mortal Immortal realm. Compared to the Dao Ancestor, he was like a low-dimensional being who could be easily crushed.
"System, you tricked me into coming here, you have to guarantee my safety."
Li Daoxuan steadied himself; the system was definitely not sending him here to die in vain.
[Ding! Host, don't panic, the enemy has arrived.]
Li Daoxuan's pupils contracted slightly, unaware that a figure had appeared opposite him at some point.
He looked like a young man, but he exuded an aura that made him tremble with fear.
After decades of observation, the Medicine Ancestor still couldn't figure it out, so he finally decided to go and confront him.
"Boy, who is behind you, and why do you want to seize my Dao fruit?"
A strong killing intent locked onto Li Daoxuan, causing the latter to tremble and desperately call for the system's protection.
[Ding! Do you want to enable system hosting?]
"yes!!!!!!!"
Li Daoxuan made his choice without hesitation.
Dao Zu is beyond his ability to deal with; let the system handle it.
The next moment, the panicked 'Li Daoxuan' calmed down.
The power of rules emanating from his body suppressed the opponent's Great Dao.
The Medicine Ancestor's expression changed slightly, realizing that it was someone behind the scenes who had made the move, so he quickly retaliated.
The Great Way of Medicine!
"Buzz!"
The world suddenly froze, and the path of medicine began to draw upon Li Daoxuan's life essence.
The latter broke free of the restraints with a single punch, and the power of the rules transformed into endless chains that sealed off this world and its surroundings.
"Screaming beetle——"
As countless chains of rules swung, the Great Dao branches summoned by the Medicine Ancestor were mercilessly shattered the moment they appeared.
Li Daoxuan waved his right hand, and the power of rules crawled all over the Medicine Ancestor's body like maggots clinging to his bones.
The Medicine Ancestor was startled, and an extreme burst of vitality erupted, plunging this world into a vast, emerald-green ocean.
"Condense!"
The Medicine Ancestor wanted to summon the hand of the Great Dao to destroy Li Daoxuan.
But Li Daoxuan wouldn't give him that chance, and the power of the rules contracted to its extreme.
The Great Dao Hand, which had not yet been formed, vanished as a phantom.
town!
The power of the rules crushed the Medicine Ancestor's body without reservation, causing it to dissipate into dust. The last thing the other party looked at was Li Daoxuan with fear.
He failed in this attempt to test the waters, but the battle for Dao Fruit is not over.
The Dao Ancestor is not so easy to kill.
[Ding! Danger cleared, childcare ended.]
His indifferent eyes regained their former clarity.
Li Daoxuan was still shocked by the battle that had just taken place. Was this what a contest between the strong was like?
Terrifying!
Looking down at the devastated Canglan Realm, which had been completely annihilated in the aftermath of the recent battle, he saw...
[Ding! Host, there's no need to worry. This is merely a reflection of the past; the river of time will correct everything.]
"Then what is the point of my coming here?"
Li Daoxuan was puzzled. Since the river of time would correct everything, what was the meaning of his existence in the past and present? Wasn't the Dao he was spreading utterly ridiculous?
[Ding! How is the host's cultivation level?]
Li Daoxuan was taken aback. After sensing the situation, he suddenly realized that the purpose of his visit was to improve his strength. Since his strength had not regressed, everything he had done was meaningful.
Ye Yu continued to explain.
[The host is cultivating using the Dao Fruit of the Medicine Ancestor. No matter how the river of time corrects itself, the Dao Fruit the host has obtained will ultimately belong to the host.]
"I see."
Li Daoxuan nodded, his confusion vanishing instantly.
[Ding! Host, please continue your journey to the next timeline.]
"Buzz!"
A portal opened in front of him.
Li Daoxuan stepped inside.
The scenery changed, and it was an unfamiliar area again.
"Is this not the Canglan Realm?"
Li Daoxuan looked around.
[Ding! The host wishes to use the Medicine Ancestor's Dao Fruit for cultivation. Therefore, simply appearing at a key point in its growth path is sufficient.]
Li Daoxuan understood that the Canglan Realm was the birthplace of the Medicine Ancestor, and the key point for spreading the Dao and becoming an immortal.
"Where is this place?"
【Dan Domain - Qian Yuan Realm】
It turned out to be the Pill Domain, which, like the Medicine Domain, is a super region composed of three thousand great worlds, with the Qian Yuan Realm being one of them.
Legend has it that the Medicine Ancestor attained enlightenment in this realm, thus becoming a leading figure in the path of medicine.
Elixirs and medicines, though different in their paths, ultimately lead to the same goal, sharing the same fundamental principle.
"System, what is my identity this time?"
Li Daoxuan asked.
[Ding! Host's identity: Rogue cultivator.]
"..."
So he has no identity? Li Daoxuan sighed, rubbing his forehead. Countless powerful figures had already emerged during this period.
I, a mere mortal immortal, am no match for you here.
[Host, you may cultivate using the Dao Fruit; the system will ensure your safety.]
Li Daoxuan's eyes lit up: "I'm relieved to hear you say that."
What's there to be afraid of? The Dao Ancestor System can handle it all, so why should we be afraid of these small fry?
He decisively began to repeat the path of advancement of the Medicine Ancestor.
At the same time, the Medicine Ancestor inexplicably felt a pang of heart palpitation during this period.
"Has something bad happened?"
Having already attained enlightenment, the Medicine Ancestor naturally knew how the future would unfold. He was merely a microcosm within the long river of time, so what was this inexplicable palpitation?
