Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 305: Immortal King Great Dao, Origin Arena, Fourth Step Test

On the Great Dao Mountain, Han Li took a brief pause before continuing to ascend.

With each step up the Great Dao levels, a new force of the Great Dao would appear above his head, suppressing him.

From the 80,000th to the 90,000th level of the Great Dao, each force of the Great Dao reached the Eighth Heaven of the Immortal Monarch realm.

From the 90,000th to the 100,000th level of the Great Dao, each force of the Great Dao reached the Ninth Heaven of the Immortal Monarch realm.

The amount and strength of the Great Dao force pressing down from above increased, but the pressure Han Li felt did not become heavier. Instead, it became lighter.

Originally, his normal combat power was invincible as a Quasi-Immortal Monarch. In order to withstand the suppression of tens of thousands of forces at the Immortal Monarch level, he had to stimulate his divine sense to resist them.

However, divine sense had its limits. Even if continuously stimulated, it was only temporary. If he couldn't reach the summit in one go, there would be no hope of reaching it.

This was equivalent to facing ten thousand Golden Immortals and ninety thousand Immortal Monarchs. Although these ten thousand Golden Immortals and Immortal Monarchs did not actively attack, their combined suppression was enough to crush anyone who lacked sufficient strength.

At first, Han Li walked quickly, hoping to reach the summit before the duration of his divine sense ended. He was fully confident that he could achieve this.

However, after stepping past the 60,000th level of the Great Dao, Han Li suddenly changed his mind and slowed down his ascent.

This was not because he couldn't bear the pressure, but because Han Li had another plan.

He discovered that the Great Dao Mountain was extremely compatible with him, something he hadn't noticed while busy climbing.

First, the Immortal Dao flowers and the Sea of Ten Thousand Paths in the second step test were filled with countless paths of the heavens. Although they were of a lower level, they were a great supplement to Han Li's ultimate Martial Dao.

By absorbing the boundless Dao Rhyme when the Immortal Dao flowers bloomed and the infinite Dao images from crossing the sea, the myriad trees within him grew rapidly. His Myriad Dao Scripture and Myriad Dao Immortal Physique evolved one after another, reaching higher levels.

If it weren't for the suppression of his cultivation by the Great Dao Palace, preventing him from surpassing the peak of True Immortal, Han Li felt that even without the help of the system, he could break through to the Golden Immortal Realm in one go, or even break through to the Immortal Monarch realm.

Realms were divided by the ancients and designed for ordinary people. If one had sufficient talent and a high comprehension of the Great Dao, they wouldn't need to follow the rules and could break through to high realms in one breath. The restrictions of realms were like illusions.

At this moment, Han Li had this feeling.

Having climbed the Great Dao Mountain until now, with the suppression of a hundred thousand forces at the Golden Immortal and Immortal Monarch levels, his ultimate Martial Dao was gradually being absorbed and integrated by Han Li, causing his ultimate Martial Dao to grow rapidly.

To the point that Han Li no longer needed to stimulate his divine sense. His strength had completely reached the Immortal Monarch realm, and even the Quasi-Immortal King domain.

Apart from his realm remaining unchanged, everything else had already been elevated.

After his strength skyrocketed, Han Li found it increasingly easy to climb the Great Dao Mountain, feeling no pressure at all. However, he deliberately slowed down his pace in order to allow his ultimate Martial Dao to continue growing.

When Han Li stepped onto the ninety-nine thousandth level of the Great Dao, the suppressing power from above already possessed the might of an Immortal Monarch at its peak.

When he stepped onto the one hundred thousandth level of the Great Dao, the suppressing power from above increased to the level of an early Quasi-Immortal King.

When Han Li stepped onto the one hundred twenty-nine thousand five hundred and ninety-ninth level, the suppressing power from above reached the peak of a Quasi-Immortal King.

Han Li glanced at the final level of the Great Dao, only one step away from reaching the summit of the Great Dao Mountain.

From the aura emanating from this level of the Great Dao, it already possessed the might of an Immortal King.

This made Han Li somewhat puzzled. Were the tests of the previous Dao Palace really this difficult?

He looked down and saw the blue-robed female cultivator, who was stunningly beautiful, struggling on the forty-thousandth level of the Great Dao Mountain, clearly lacking the strength to continue.

According to the information provided by Chang Xi, in each session, several or even dozens of people would enter the fourth stage of the test. Although they didn't pass, it still proved their strength.

But judging from the difficulty of this test, apart from Han Li, it was likely that the other geniuses would not even be able to pass half of the third stage of the test.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but Han Li didn't think too much about it and took a step forward.

"Boom~"

Under the terrifying pressure of the Immortal King, the entire Great Dao Mountain trembled, and the geniuses and monsters climbing the Great Dao Mountain were suddenly pressed to the ground, unable to get up.

However, the might of the Immortal King came and went quickly, and Han Li shouldered it with ease.

Standing at the summit of the mountain, Han Li carefully experienced it and shook his head slightly, "The might of the Immortal King is nothing special."

His shoulders shook, and the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty kinds of Great Dao that suppressed him exploded, causing the sound of the Dao to resonate throughout the heavens and worlds, shaking the past, present, and future.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, his ultimate Martial Dao absorbed everything like a whale, devouring countless Dao Rhymes, boundless Dao Images, endless Dao Intents, and infinite Dao Principles.

In an instant, Han Li's aura skyrocketed madly, but his realm remained at the peak of True Immortal. After his ultimate Martial Dao devoured all of this, it grew again. After digesting it completely, it directly reached an extremely high level.

Han Li estimated for a moment, swallowed his saliva secretly, and asked the system again. His guess was confirmed.

His ultimate Martial Dao had actually reached the level of an Immortal King!

In other words, as long as Han Li went out and returned to the heavens and worlds, if he wished, he could break through to the realm of an Immortal King in an instant.

"Hiss~"

Han Li couldn't help but inhale a breath of cold air, his eyes flashing with surprise.

His Great Dao was the ultimate Martial Dao, the highest level of Great Dao that surpassed all others. This meant that Han Li's strength far exceeded that of an Immortal King and was already comparable to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

It was still that kind of Quasi-Immortal Emperor who mastered the supreme Great Dao.

The cold voice of the Dao Spirit from the Great Dao Palace echoed in his ears, giving Han Li a treasure that was considered supreme even among Immortal Emperors.

Han Li's gaze flickered slightly, not immediately heading to the fourth trial of the Great Dao Palace, but staring at the Great Dao Mountain.

He seemed to understand something.

Since coming to the Great Dao Palace, his system had become silent, only responding to him after he called out many times.

Han Li's mood was somewhat nervous, somewhat uneasy, and somewhat relieved.

Everything was too coincidental.

"Hoo~"

Han Li took a deep breath and turned to walk to the altar in the center of the mountaintop.

"Let me see the truth of everything."

Brilliant Dao light descended, and Han Li's figure disappeared from the Great Dao Mountain.

At this moment, more than a hundred outstanding geniuses who were climbing the Great Dao Mountain were dumbfounded. Who was that person?

The difficulty of this Great Dao Palace had increased many times. Many of them had been able to pass the third trial in the past, but now they were stuck in the first half of the third trial.

And that mysterious newcomer who appeared out of nowhere actually smoothly passed through the first three trials, leaving all the outstanding geniuses far behind each time.

Brilliant Dao light flashed, and Han Li's figure appeared.

This time, he did not appear in a certain world, dojo, or at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that he had entered the Great Dao Palace.

Here was an extremely grand and magnificent palace. Han Li stood at the entrance, looking inside. Pillars that supported the heavens stood tall, engraved with various Great Dao runes.

In the center of this magnificent palace was a wide area, which was a platform.

Just as Han Li wanted to continue observing, the voice of the Dao Spirit from the Great Dao Palace sounded again.

"Han Li, welcome to the fourth trial of the Great Dao Palace."

"Do you know me?"

Han Li raised an eyebrow. He had changed his appearance.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved. This Great Dao Palace seemed to be the weapon of the fourth trial, and the Dao Spirit had supreme power, so it was not surprising that it knew him.

"I know all the creatures of the myriad worlds."

The Dao Spirit responded, and Han Li's gaze flickered, slightly easing his doubts.

"What is the fourth trial?"

Han Li asked directly.

"Ascend the Origin Platform and defeat all opponents to pass."

The voice of the Dao Spirit was indifferent.

"How many opponents are there? Where do they come from? What is their strength?"

Han Li asked in succession.

"A total of thirty-six, all of them Quasi-Immortal Emperor level."

Han Li frowned slightly. The Dao Spirit of the Great Dao Palace did not mention the origin of these thirty-six opponents.

Quasi-Immortal Emperor level was not a problem. It was on par with him, so Han Li didn't have to worry about being suppressed by cultivation level.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Han Li's mind.

Thirty-six opponents, thirty-six Heavenly Emperors of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Courts?

Could his opponents be the Heavenly Emperors of the Red Bright Heavenly Court, Dragon Han Heavenly Court, Ten Thousand Unity Heavenly Court, and other Thirty-Six Heavenly Courts?

Although they were not the peak period Heavenly Emperors, even with only Quasi-Immortal Emperor level strength, they were definitely terrifying. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were the most powerful thirty-six people in the Primordial World throughout history.

Wait a minute!

Han Li's relaxed eyebrows furrowed again. How could it be the Heavenly Emperors of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Courts in the Primordial World? This shouldn't be the case.

The Great Dao Palace was oriented towards the myriad worlds, and the Primordial World ranked only at the bottom of the top ten. If they were to choose Heavenly Emperors as guardians, they should have chosen the Heavenly Emperors of the top three or even the strongest worlds in the myriad worlds.

Could it be that they were underestimating him?

He was from the Primordial World, so the guardians were all the previous Heavenly Emperors of the Primordial World?

Han Li was puzzled, feeling that this was possible. Otherwise, why would they all be thirty-six?

Han Li asked again, but did not receive a response from Dao Ling. It seemed that Dao Ling did not want to talk about it.

After pondering for a while, Han Li strode towards the Origin Arena and stood below it. Looking at the scarred arena, he seemed to see a magnificent world and scenes of grandeur that had happened in the ancient past.

"The Origin Arena? Why not call it the Eternal Arena?"

Han Li muttered in his heart. He felt that it should be called the Eternal Arena, or perhaps the Heavenly Arena, because the Great Dao Palace was in the Eternal Ancient Realm (the myriad realms of the heavens).

Without hesitation, Han Li climbed onto the Origin Arena and found that it was a world of its own, vast and filled with supreme rules. Even if a Quasi-Immortal Emperor went all out, they would not be able to break it.

After waiting for a while, the first guardian finally appeared.

"My name is Zao Hua. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."

Zao Hua Daoist was dressed in a white Daoist robe, with a calm tone and a plain expression.

Han Li was surprised in his heart. This Zao Hua Daoist seemed to be real? Wasn't he created by the Great Dao Palace?

He recalled the title of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Realm, but none of them were named Zao Hua. He felt a little disappointed, it seemed that he had guessed wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Han Li followed Zao Hua Daoist's lead and clasped his hands in salute, "My name is Han Li, I have seen Fellow Daoist Zao Hua."

Since the Dao Ling of the Great Dao Palace knew his identity, Han Li did not conceal it. He even revealed his true form, as other cultivators could not reach the fourth stage of the trial.

He had a feeling that this fourth stage of the Great Dao Palace's trial seemed to be prepared for him.

Or perhaps, this time the Great Dao Palace appeared, the difficulty had greatly increased, and all four stages of the trial had been changed, which might also be related to him.

The battle was about to begin.

As soon as they exchanged blows, they went all out without any probing, and the outcome was determined in a short period of time.

Han Li didn't want it to be like this, but Zao Hua Daoist was too fierce, so he had no choice but to accompany him.

After three rounds, Han Li killed Zao Hua Daoist.

After waiting for a moment, the second guardian appeared. He called himself Qian Kun Daoist, and Han Li quickly killed him.

The third guardian called himself Yuan Yuan Daoist, and Han Li killed him with five moves.

The fourth guardian called himself Lun Hui Daoist, and Han Li killed him with six moves.

The fifth guardian called himself Hun Dun Daoist, and Han Li killed him with seven moves.

Han Li fought all the way, killing one guardian after another. The further he went, the stronger the guardians became. They were so strong that Han Li had to go all out every time to kill them, and each battle took longer and longer.

Moreover, Han Li gradually got injured, and each time his injuries became more severe. Fortunately, after each battle, the Great Dao Palace would restore him to his peak state. Otherwise, Han Li would not be able to continue winning.

Each of these guardians had the strength of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and their strength was so great that their battle experience was extremely rich. They were extremely skilled in countless powerful Divine Abilities and Daoist techniques, making it difficult for Han Li to cope.

Furthermore, each guardian mastered a different Great Dao, seemingly related to their "Daoist name". For example, the first Zao Hua Daoist mastered the Great Dao of Creation.

When Han Li broke through to the sixteenth stage, the guardians changed again.

"My name is Tai Ji. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me." Tai Ji Daoist clasped his hands in salute.

Han Li returned the gesture and then fought fiercely with him, taking a long time to kill him.

"My name is Tai Su. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."

"My name is Tai Shi. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."

"My name is Tai Chu. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."

"My name is Tai Yi. Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me."

In the next four battles, Han Li encountered Tai Su, Tai Shi, Tai Chu, and Tai Yi respectively. Each Daoist's strength was extremely powerful, and their Daoist techniques were unpredictable.

If it weren't for Han Li's own rapid growth during each battle, he wouldn't have been able to reach this stage.

After killing Tai Yi Daoist, Han Li encountered the twenty-first guardian, named Tai Yi Divine Lord.

The twenty-second guardian was named Tai Wu Divine Lord.

The twenty-third guardian was named Tai Ming Divine Lord.

The twenty-fourth guardian was named Tai Xuan Divine Lord.

The twenty-fifth guardian was named Tai Hao Divine Lord.

Han Li killed all five Divine Lords, and his own strength continued to grow. After absorbing the "Ten Tais" Great Dao into his ultimate Martial Dao, he finally made further progress and officially ascended to the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

When Han Li's strength broke through, no new guardians appeared on the Origin Arena. It seemed that Dao Ling intentionally allowed his strength to increase.

Han Li couldn't figure it out either, so he stopped thinking about it and focused on his breakthrough.

When he finished his breakthrough, another guardian appeared on the Origin Arena, the twenty-sixth one.

"Fellow Daoist, please enlighten me." This guardian was dressed in a Celestial Immortal robe, with an immortal aura and a majestic presence.

Han Li frowned slightly. This was the first guardian who did not introduce their "Dao title". His thoughts flashed by, and Han Li engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian.

Han Li fought his way from the 26th guardian to the 35th guardian. He discovered that these nine guardians each possessed a different Great Dao, representing nine different races, some of which had disappeared from the heavens and myriad realms. Among them were immortals, demons, dragons, phoenixes, witches, monsters, spirits, saints, and thunder.

This greatly broadened Han Li's horizons.

He also discovered that these nine guardians from the nine races were extremely majestic, exuding an aura that ruled over the heavens and the eternal past and future, like Heavenly Emperors.

However, Han Li did not remember there being any Heavenly Emperors in the Primordial World. Could they come from other powerful worlds in the heavens and myriad realms?

All these thoughts flashed through Han Li's mind as he arrived at the 36th guardian.

A perfect being.

This was the first thought that came to Han Li's mind when he saw this guardian.

"Han Fellow Daoist, I am called the Great Fate Master," the perfect being said with a smile.

Han Li's pupils contracted.

This title was different from the previous 35 guardians. It was unique and yet ranked last.

This meant that the strength of this perfect being was extremely formidable.

Moreover, this perfect being seemed to be really interesting, actually recognizing him.

"Han Fellow Daoist, there are some things that cannot be said too much. We will meet again," the Great Fate Master said, bowing to Han Li. Then, he leisurely walked towards Han Li, seemingly not intending to make a move.

Countless thoughts raced through Han Li's mind, but he didn't think too much at this moment. He felt a deadly threat emanating from the Great Fate Master.

This was an invincible existence!

Fortunately, Han Li's ultimate Martial Dao had advanced further after killing the guardians of the nine races. Otherwise, he might not have been able to surpass the Great Fate Master.

"Fellow Daoist, please~"

Han Li took a deep breath and launched the first attack.

His fist radiated light that illuminated the eternal past and future, tore through infinite time and space, all to suppress the Great Fate Master.

But the Great Fate Master only paused for a moment before continuing forward, exuding a peaceful aura.

Han Li snorted coldly, using his palm as a sword. The sword radiance was resplendent, shining throughout the boundless universe, cutting through the fate of time and space, and extinguishing the cycle of the Great Dao. It also reflected in the minds of all living beings in the past and future timelines.

The Great Fate Master extended his perfect right hand and lightly tapped, shattering the resplendent golden light that could suppress Immortal Emperors.

"Han Fellow Daoist, show your true abilities, otherwise you won't pass this trial," the Great Fate Master said calmly, still advancing towards Han Li with steady footsteps. However, he gave Han Li a sense of impending death, as if his approach would be the moment of Han Li's demise.

"Since that's the case, I won't hold back."

Han Li's gaze flickered as he decided to use his trump card. It was something he comprehended when his ultimate Martial Dao evolved to the Immortal King level and the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

When Han Li used his trump card, the Great Fate Master indeed stopped, his expression becoming solemn.

"It's this move again."

The Great Fate Master muttered to himself, finally making a serious move and engaging in a fierce battle with Han Li.

In the end, the Great Fate Master was defeated. Han Li barely won with one move, blasting the Great Fate Master with his battered body.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."

Han Li lay on the Origin Arena, his body in tatters, looking miserable. But in the end, he defeated the perfect Great Fate Master and passed the fourth trial of the Great Dao Palace.

Countless lights descended, resonating with Han Li's ultimate Martial Dao, jointly repairing his injuries.

When the light dissipated, Han Li was restored to his original state. His ultimate Martial Dao had also advanced further, approaching the level of an Immortal Emperor. This greatly enhanced Han Li's aura.

Standing up, Han Li fell silent for a moment before speaking first.

"Spirit of the Dao, what kind of fortune did I gain from passing the fourth trial?"

"Go inside."

The voice of the Spirit of the Dao sounded, and a Great Dao portal appeared.

Han Li hesitated for a moment, filled with curiosity, and walked inside.
