A place of enlightenment, an opportunity for eternity.

With feet treading on the Kunpeng, he soared through the sky.

Above the clouds, Xiao Fan held the cat, gently stroking its tail, which was smooth and warm.

A physical toy is truly fun.

"Master, where are we going?" Miao Xiaoqing asked softly.

Gone was any trace of her former aloofness.

Xiao Fan looked ahead, directing Ah Kun to proceed in one direction without stopping, which left Miao Xiaoqing a bit confused.

"Looking for someone," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

He was sensing the location of the Myriad Thought Pearl; indeed, he was searching for Ye Tian.

The bronze cauldron and the Microcosm World were Ye Tian's second greatest Opportunity, indicating that the Eternal Immortal Palace was about to appear, so he had to keep a close eye on him.

During this flight, as far as the eye could see, many Mortal cities had been massacred, bodies littered the fields, wails filled the sky, and white bones lay everywhere with no survivors, the towering resentment piercing the clouds, as if Hell had descended upon the human world.

Endless slaughter brought forth a sky-reaching aura of blood, even staining the clouds above blood-red.

It was clearly a brutal painting of slaughter.

"Stop!" Xiao Fan commanded, and Ah Kun immediately obeyed, halting.

Xiao Fan stood on the cloud, looking down, and saw that within those Mortal cities, there were many Immortal Realm Cultivators, specifically Cultivators from the Eternal Immortal Domain.

They were in groups of three to five, setting up formations, enveloping the cities of the Mortal world, and using secret techniques to create a cage, trapping them with no escape.

Afterward, these Cultivators entered the cage and began indiscriminate slaughter, treating these Mortals like weeds, mercilessly harvesting them.

Xiao Fan couldn't help but frown. What was going on? Were these people possessed by evil spirits, activating the evil within their Physical Bodies?

At this very moment, Xiao Fan encountered several Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace, who met him head-on.

Xiao Fan stopped them, and the female Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace recognized him. The leader immediately bowed and cupped her hands, saying:

"Young Master, why are you here?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Just passing by."

He then looked down and asked, "What's going on with them? Why are they besieging cities and killing people?"

The female Disciples exchanged glances, and the leading beautiful female Disciple asked in confusion:

"Young Master, these people are all Opportunity. Don't you know?"

"People? Opportunity?" Xiao Fan was utterly bewildered.

Seeing Xiao Fan's confusion, the Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace explained to him, "It's like this: someone killed the native Mortals here and gained benefits from it, then began to slaughter on a large scale."

"One told ten, ten told a hundred, and those who couldn't find Opportunity directly killed Mortals, gaining Opportunity from their bodies."

Xiao Fan asked, "These are all Mortals. What kind of Opportunity could attract the attention of Cultivators?"

The Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace shook their heads, "We do not like slaughter and have not killed anyone, so we do not know."

"However, they say that killing these Mortals can increase one's Comprehension Ability, and with good luck, one can even comprehend supreme Divine Ability Magic."

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Hmm, I understand."

"We still have matters to attend to, so we won't bother Young Master further."

With that, the Disciples of the Yaochi Immortal Palace stirred up a fragrant breeze, creating a beautiful silhouette, and flew off into the distance.

Killing people to increase Comprehension Ability and comprehend Divine Ability Technique?

It sounded like defeating small monsters to gain experience and level up, occasionally even dropping gold coins and treasure chests.

"Ah Kun, do you know what's going on?" Xiao Fan asked the mount beneath his feet.

"Reporting to Master, this subordinate rarely leaves home and has limited knowledge, so I am unaware," Ah Kun replied, shaking his head.

Looking down, he saw three people wearing the robes of the Holy Academy. After a moment's thought, Xiao Fan directly ordered Ah Kun to act and capture someone.

"Bring those three people back; I'll perform a soul search."

"As you command."

Ah Kun slowly descended, concealing his form, then suddenly accelerated, arriving in an instant, rushing to the side of the Holy Academy Disciples who were slaughtering Mortals in the city.

The sudden appearance of a formidable enemy startled them.

However, the disparity in cultivation was too great, and Ah Kun's attack was a surprise. The few Holy Academy Disciples were captured without any resistance.

When the three saw Xiao Fan, their faces were still filled with shock. They immediately shouted:

"Who are you? Why did you capture us!"

"We are Disciples of the Holy Academy! Aren't you afraid of offending the Holy Academy?"

Xiao Fan said indifferently, "Noisy."

The soft voice, however, carried immense Divine Might, causing waves of invisible fluctuations that violently impacted the minds of the three. With a puff, blood spilled from their mouths, and their faces turned pale.

These three were Earth Immortal Late Stage, but Xiao Fan, with just a single sentence, made them vomit blood, completely helpless.

This wasn't over. Xiao Fan extended his right hand, and a faint lightning glow appeared at his fingertips. There was no killing intent, as if he had only cast a minor lightning spell.

But Kunpeng, feeling the aura of the lightning, felt a chill run through its body.

Holy crap, this move again, it's simply worse than death!

Xiao Fan simply touched the foreheads of the three, and their eyes became vacant and rolled back, losing all consciousness.

"Now it's quiet."

Casually crushing three Holy Academy nobodies was like doing a trivial chore.

Miao Xiaoqing felt only fear. If he hadn't been interested in my Physical Body back then, would my fate have been similar to these three?

Fortunately, I used my charm and gave myself to him, she secretly rejoiced.

Xiao Fan placed his hand on the forehead of one of them and began to search his soul.

Searching the souls of all three took him half a breath. After the soul search, Xiao Fan's gaze slightly narrowed, and he frowned, as if he had seen something strange.

From their bodies, he extracted a cluster of pure white cloud, which was the Dao Rhyme they spoke of.

"Master, is something wrong?" Miao Xiaoqing asked softly, affectionately rubbing against his hand.

"Strange."

Xiao Fan didn't hide anything and revealed the results of his soul search.

"There's a strange Dao Rhyme on those Mortals. Killing them allows one to strip that faint Dao Rhyme from their bodies and add it to oneself."

"And these Dao Rhymes can increase Comprehension Ability. Not only do the Dao Rhymes not repel each other, but they can also be superimposed. The deeper the Dao Rhyme, the stronger the increase in Comprehension Ability."

"Furthermore, the Bloodline of some Mortals can even undergo atavism, activating the Divine Ability Magic contained within their Bloodline."

"I think this is what the Yaochi Immortal Palace Disciple just mentioned, the Opportunity found on Mortals."

These Mortals do not cultivate. If their ancestors were Immortals or had special Physiques or Bloodlines, Bloodline atavism is not a problem.

But what is that trace of Dao Rhyme? Mortals do not cultivate the Dao, so where does the Dao Rhyme come from?

Strange, too strange.

While pondering, Xiao Fan summoned Hells Gate and threw the bodies of the three inside, feeding them to the demon gods in Hell.

He casually destroyed the evidence, a practiced move.

Kunpeng suddenly said, "Master, I know some things."

"Speak quickly."

Without daring to delay, Ah Kun said, "My previous form was originally a great roc bird, muddled and without intelligence, only knowing how to eat, drink, and sleep."

"Until one day, a purple-robed Daoist with an Immortal demeanor descended upon the world. He set up an altar and preached Immortal methods to the world."

"This humble one was still ignorant at the time, only feeling that the Daoist was somewhat kind and harbored no ill will, so I landed in his Daoist temple to listen to his teachings."

"Over time, I became familiar with him. One time, he patted my head with an ancient wooden whisk. I only felt a little sleepy, and some thoughts appeared in my mind."

"The next time he preached, I fell asleep as soon as I heard him. When I woke up, I only heard the Daoist say, 'Little fellow, a dream of three thousand years, how does it feel?'"

I immediately replied, "Daoist, I only feel that I have slept for a long time, and I know nothing else."

"When I opened my mouth to speak, I was stunned. I could actually speak human words."

"However, before I could rejoice, the old Daoist disappeared, and I could only vaguely hear two sentences, it seemed to be..."

"The Land of Dao Proclamation, the Opportunity of Eternity."

"Preaching for three thousand years, the Holy Intention is unknowable, transcend, become extraordinary, and enter Sainthood!"

"Yes, that's it."

Xiao Fan listened, knowing that things were not simple.

He continued to ask, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"

Kunpeng couldn't help but frown in deep thought. No matter how it tried to recall, it couldn't remember the Daoist's face, only that it was a Daoist, holding a whisk and wearing purple and gold Daoist robes.

As for whether it was male or female, old or young, it had no impression whatsoever.

"This subordinate has forgotten."

"But he must have been an expert, that's for sure. This subordinate takes that expert as my cultivation goal."

Xiao Fan chuckled, "You little fellow, I didn't expect you to have encountered such an important figure."

An indescribable, unnameable existence, at least a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

And that Daoist also spoke of Dao Proclamation and entering Sainthood.

Presumably, this place is his Land of Dao Proclamation.

All signs indicate that that Daoist was the Eternal Saint King who once proclaimed the Dao in this place!

Looking at the pure white cloud in his hand, Xiao Fan was deep in thought.

The so-called Dao Rhyme should be the Holy Intention left by the Eternal Saint King after preaching for three thousand years. A trace of a Saint's Holy Intention assisting people in increasing Comprehension Ability is very normal.

As for the Divine Ability Magic, it was most likely the Immortal methods taught by the Eternal Saint King to the people of this world during his preaching, and those who learned the Immortal methods inscribed them in their Bloodline, which can also be considered a legacy for future generations.

It's just that he never expected it to bring disaster; fortune is where misfortune lies hidden.

Xiao Fan did not keep these pure white cloud clusters for himself but threw them to Kunpeng.

Kunpeng, seeing this, was overjoyed and swallowed them in one gulp.

To be honest, it had coveted these clouds for a long time but didn't dare to ask for them, fearing Xiao Fan would strike it with lightning.

But Xiao Fan directly threw them to it, which made it ecstatic and it exclaimed, "Thank you, Master, for the reward!"

At this moment, Kunpeng felt that Xiao Fan, this cheap Master, was quite good. It seemed its future wasn't so bleak after all.

Miao Xiaoqing also wanted some, but Xiao Fan didn't give her any, and she didn't dare to ask. If she displeased him, she might face a beating.

"Hehe, little cat, accepting Dao Rhyme is equivalent to bearing Karma.

Kunpeng already had interactions with the Eternal Saint King and had Karma with him. A little more Dao Rhyme wouldn't have any impact.

Don't even think about it. Just cultivate diligently."

Xiao Fan was meticulous, stroking the cat's tail as he spoke.

Miao Xiaoqing, of course, knew, but she felt that as a little cat, she definitely wouldn't reach the Saint Realm, and gaining the Karma of a Saint seemed quite nice.

But as a pet, she had no say in the matter and could only obey Xiao Fan's commands.

Xiao Fan now had a deeper understanding of this place. This was the Saint's Land of Dao Proclamation, and there was definitely an Opportunity to become a Saint!

If he could comprehend even a little, he would surely benefit greatly.

He could bring some back for Xin Xi and Yu Yue!

Good morning.
