The Taotie civilization was thus cut off.
"Yes." The commanders exchanged glances, then gave the order and rose to leave one after another.
……
Earth.
Longyun Taoist Temple.
Li Dao has been practicing tendon training for nearly ten days. He is still a little short of the perfect steel reinforcement level, but not by much. He is just one step away from achieving it.
A few days later, Li Dao's strength increased again. His normal strength was nearly 8,000 jin, and his maximum burst strength was 10,000 jin. His normal speed was 50 meters per second, and his maximum burst speed was nearly 100 meters per second.
Our strength has improved significantly compared to a few days ago, and we are making steady progress.
Li Dao made progress almost every day, which made him increasingly obsessed with cultivation.
Swish!
Li Daoli stood at the foot of Longyun Mountain, looking up at the steps that were dozens of meters high. The next moment, his spine twitched, and his limbs followed suit. In an instant, he flew out like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, Li Dao was already standing on the mountain. His speed was so fast that it left a blurry afterimage. Every so often, a blurry afterimage would remain.
"Your strength is quite good now. Although you are still a bit short of a quasi-first-generation super soldier, you have surpassed most of the Earth God River bodies."
Angel Yan, standing to the side, suddenly spoke up, holding Little Black in her arms, while the dead cat was still squinting and rubbing against her full chest.
“I know that, of course. Compared to the strength you gained through your genes, I prefer to reach the end step by step, which is more satisfying,” Li Dao replied.
While injecting super genes is beneficial, it also essentially locks in the upper limit. To improve and enhance one's strength, one must research divine body technology, gene engines, supercomputers, and so on, constantly updating and iterating.
While this approach can lead to rapid improvement in strength, without advancements in technique, one will essentially remain at that level for a long time, and may even stagnate for their entire life.
With such extraordinary comprehension, I have no need to worry about these things; all I lack is time.
“That’s true, but taking it one step at a time is too slow. Earth doesn’t have much time left,” Angel Yan replied, agreeing yet not entirely.
"By the way, I can't help you with that request you made yesterday, because I don't know forging techniques. To reforge the Dragon Abyss Spear, I would need a technology that can interfere with reality."
Upon hearing this, Li Dao nodded.
Angel Yan hasn't activated the secondary biological engine yet, so she really doesn't have the ability to reforge the Dragon Abyss Spear. Even if she did activate it, she would still need to write the technology.
“While I cannot do it, the Celestial King, who is about to descend upon Earth, can. You can ask her to forge the Dragon Abyss Spear for you; I doubt she will refuse,” Angel Yan continued.
Li Dao glanced at the other person in surprise.
Good heavens, colluding with outsiders to plot against your Heavenly King, you, Holy Guardian of the Left Wing of Holy Keisha, are truly making the angels proud.
"Little Taoist, don't look at me like that. This is extra pay for my temporary stay over the past two weeks," Angel Yan said with a smirk.
"Thank you very much, layman. I'll go back to my cultivation now." Li Dao thanked her, not expecting Angel Yan to be so generous.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. In the original story, Angel Yan shared a lot of angelic technology with Ge Xiaolun for his sake.
She even went so far as to throw the entire angel at Ge Xiaolun, betting on that uncertain and uncertain future—a classic case of being hopelessly in love.
only……
Li Dao couldn't understand why Angel Yan was helping him.
Angel Yan didn't understand why she was helping Li Dao either. Maybe she just found him agreeable, since they had been spending almost half a month together and had formed some habits.
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll just focus on cultivation. I'll figure it out sooner or later." After returning to the Taoist temple and retrieving the Dragon Abyss Spear, Li Dao went directly to the back mountain to cultivate.
As for Tianji Wang Hexi, he would have to see how the other party treated him. If the other party's attitude was not very friendly, he would have to leave the Taoist temple.
After all, if you want to outsmart an old monster who has lived for over 30,000 years, you'd need to be incredibly wise and able to outmaneuver it. Otherwise, it's best to just observe and wait.
If anything seems amiss, they immediately run away.
It wasn't hot at noon; in fact, it was a bit cool, and the sun overhead wasn't as intense as it is in summer.
After arriving at the back mountain, Li Dao drank a bottle of nutrient solution and began his training for the day. He swung the Dragon Abyss Spear in his hand, his muscles and bones trembling as he absorbed the nutrient solution that had just entered his stomach.
Instantly, his blood and qi began to surge, turning his body a deep red, and wisps of white vapor burst forth, like steam rising from a boiling kettle.
As Li Dao cultivated, his fascia, which was as strong and tough as steel, began to be tempered. His tendons became firm, like steel bars rooted in a cement wall, tough as iron, yet soft as cotton, like a drooping willow vine.
Click! Kaka!
After practicing for two hours, Li Dao felt that his fascia was almost complete, and his tendons were transforming, becoming stronger and tougher than iron, yet still retaining the softness of a vine.
Fascia can be both rigid and flexible.
"Today I will complete the tendon training!" Li Dao's eyes shone brightly. He took out a bottle of nutrient solution from his sleeve, opened it without saying a word, and drank it to replenish the energy gap after completing the tendon training.
Buzz! Buzz!
As soon as he drank the nutrient solution, the twelve major tendons and hundreds of ligaments slowly began to glow with a dark golden light. Li Dao could sense that these tendons were probably even stronger than the steel bars he had mentioned.
As one tendon after another transforms, it's as if one snake after another is transforming into a dragon.
Through the glass-like skin, one can see dark golden veins intertwining and writhing. This process is slow, but it is progressing towards perfection.
"At this rate, it will probably take until tonight for the transformation to be complete." Li Dao had a good idea of what was going on, so he put down the Dragon Abyss Spear and sat down in place.

night.
The moonlight was faint, and the cool breeze was refreshing, blowing the Taoist robe and sideburns of the Taoist on the edge of the cliff, but you could see that the tendons on his neck, face and hands were glowing with a dark golden light.
The writhing and intertwining tendons resembled a series of intertwined snakes.
hum!
Swish!
When the tendons stopped wriggling and intertwining, Li Dao opened his eyes instantly, his pupils flashing with a sharp light, and he stood up by exerting a little force in his legs and waist.
"My strength has increased, I wonder how fast I am." Li Dao clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him, like a wild beast ready to unleash its power at any moment.
Li Daoqing's bright eyes shone like two lamps in the night. He walked to a bare tree, clenched his fist, and punched it out.
boom! !
The fist struck the tree trunk heavily, and instantly the trunk cracked, even splitting open around the base of the tree, before finally breaking and collapsing, scattering autumn leaves all over the ground.
"It seems my strength has reached tens of thousands of jin." Li Dao looked at the fallen tree, then at his fist that wasn't broken. Although his knuckles hurt a little, it wasn't a serious problem.
Once you have tempered your entire skeletal system, the recoil from that power will hardly damage your bones.
The falling tree startled the surrounding birds, insects, and frogs, causing them to flee the area. It also alarmed the angel Yan, who was reading a book in the Taoist temple.
"What is that little Taoist priest doing again? Why is he making such a commotion?" Angel Yan looked suspiciously toward the back mountain, wanting to use her Eye of Insight to observe, but ultimately stopped herself.
If you've opened the Eye of Insight, what's the point? You might as well go and see for yourself what that little Taoist priest is doing.
With that thought, the angel Yan closed the book, a book that recorded biographies of immortals, and then left the Taoist temple and headed towards the back mountain.
After Li Dao finished his test, he turned around and picked up the Dragon Abyss Spear, then frowned: "Sigh! The Dragon Abyss Spear has no weight for me anymore."
Shaking his head, Li Dao glanced at the sky. It was getting late, and he should return to the Taoist temple.
As for the Dragon Abyss Spear? We'll see if we can reforge it when the opportunity arises. If so, we should definitely forge it, since weapons are an extension of fists and feet.
But for now, I'll have to rely on my iron fists.
On the way back, Li Dao suddenly saw movement ahead. The canopy of the trees blocked the moonlight, making it impossible to see who was in front of him.
But Li Dao had excellent hearing and guessed from the footsteps that it was Angel Yan, who was likely attracted by the commotion he had made earlier.
Li Dao continued walking and, sure enough, saw Angel Yan approaching.
In the darkness of the night, two pairs of eyes met.
"Little Taoist, did you cause that commotion just now?" Angel Yan snapped her fingers, and the surroundings lit up. She then looked at Li Dao opposite her and asked.
"Yes, I didn't expect that the noise I made would disturb your rest, sir," Li Dao admitted.
If the other party uses their Insightful Eyes to see, what you just did will definitely not escape the detection of the Dark Dimension.
Now that the other party is willing to come and see the situation, they probably think that maintaining the mystery will bring her some amusement.
Angel Yan looked Li Dao up and down and suddenly noticed that there were dark veins under the other man's handsome face, and even on his neck and the back of his hands.
"It's just a minor breakthrough, nothing to worry about." Li Dao noticed the other person's gaze and knew that the dark veins on his body were too difficult to hide, so he said casually.
After all, her skin, as clear as glass, was so transparent that even a discerning person could see something, let alone Angel Yan, a third-generation super soldier.
"I'm becoming more and more curious about you." Angel Yan looked deeply at Li Dao, then smiled and said.
“I am just an ordinary person. Do you still want to go to the back mountain? I’m going back now.” Li Dao shook his head and then asked.
Angel Yan glanced at the direction of the back mountain, then looked at Li Dao in front of her, and nodded slightly.
As for the situation on the back mountain, I'll ask them when I get back; it'll be pretty much the same.
The two then returned to the Taoist temple side by side.
……
Time flies like an arrow, and flows like a gentle stream.
The floating demon castle was no longer patrolling; all the demons were now inside, arranged in neat rows.
Morgana stood on the castle balcony, looking down at the array of demon soldiers, with Atto and Atai on either side of her.
Thornton is currently still feasting on Taotie on Mars and has not yet been subdued by Morgana.
"The two-week deadline is up, Karl." Morgana contacted Karl immediately after seeing that not a single demon was missing.
He Xi will arrive on Earth in half a month. If I don't run away soon, I might get a beating from He Xi. After all, she has been deceiving her for over ten thousand years.
As for why she didn't clash with the other person even though they were both fourth-generation divine bodies, it can only be said that there are differences even among fourth-generation divine bodies. She knew the power of a fourth-generation divine body.
That bitch Keisha possessed the body of a fourth-generation Divine Being, and with silver wings crafted from Dark Silver, she chased him all over the universe, wiping out his entire fortune several times.
"Yes, Liang Bing, I've located Kunsa Star. I can teleport you there now," Karl's gentle voice rang out.
"Yes, thank you." Morgana rarely said thank you, then looked at Atto beside her and said, "Atto, inform them that we need to prepare to return to Kunsa Star."
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Atto nodded and jumped off the balcony.
With a bang, raising a cloud of dust, Ator's tall figure stepped out, his powerful voice ringing out: "By order of the Queen, we shall return to Kunsa Star today!"
