Questioning the Grandmaster Through All Things

A mighty sword aura enveloped the entire sky above the Divine General Residence!

The Dharma Form man with the golden Divine Sword was like a god among swords, able to command ten thousand swords to bow down!

Inside the courtyard, Bian Ruxue looked up, and the countless sword shadows reflected in her bright eyes made her momentarily lost in thought.

Such sword power could shake Heaven and Earth; she had only ever seen it in the hands of her own master.

But her master is Sword Saint, a top expert in the Four Establishments Realm, who uses the sword to question his heart, and is extremely powerful!

Li Hao, however, was only at the Fifteen Li Realm, yet he already possessed such power. His Sword Dao had caught up with his master's and far surpassed her comprehension!

High above the mansion, the guests who had left earlier all stopped and gazed at the magnificent battle between father and son within the Divine General Residence's Xuanhe Qingzhou City.

Disbelief and shock filled their faces.

I originally thought that the young man from the Li Family, who nearly killed the Buddha Master Personal Disciple with a single chopstick, was already unparalleled in the world and invincible among his peers.

To everyone's surprise, the opponent didn't reveal their true strength at all.

But the Sword Tide before him was the young man's true killing move!

If this Swordsmanship had been used in the True Dragon Contest, Li Qianfeng wouldn't have needed to even participate.

Such power was so overwhelming that even the few Grandmaster present felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, and their hearts couldn't help but pound violently.

"That child..."

Sword Wudao stared blankly, his shock growing stronger with each passing moment. How could that boy, whose eyes held no trace of a sword, have reached such a terrifying level in the Sword Dao?

Could it be that the other party merely practices swordsmanship casually, without any real interest, and even without the sword truly Heart Entry, yet still becomes Champion of Sword Dao?!

Sword Wudao refused to believe it; it distorted his understanding.

In the sky above the Divine General Residence's Mansion, countless Sword Tide gathered and, as Li Hao's Dharma Form waved, suddenly swept down towards Li Tiangang.

It was like a waterfall of sword shadows cascading down from a height of ten thousand feet!

Li Tiangang's pupils contracted slightly, his heart also filled with shock. Although he was a swordsman and had not cultivated Boundless Sea, he knew that the final move of this Swordsmanship was extremely difficult to master!

But Li Hao mastered it.

Seeing the terrifying Sword Qi hurtling towards him, Li Tiangang's eyes flashed with Anger. This boy actually wanted to kill his father?!

His divine Divine Soul suddenly burst forth from above, and the brilliant, gleaming Divine Might Blade radiated Divine Radiance as he strode into the sky filled with sword shadows.

The snow-white sword shadows crashed like ocean waves, while the blood-red figure shone like a blazing sun. Wherever the Divine Might Blade swept, the sword shadows quickly dissipated.

But the sheer number of sword shadows was overwhelming, seemingly boundless, surging forth relentlessly.

Even the Divine Radiance of the Divine Might Blade was submerged.

"Smash it!!"

Li Tiangang roared, unleashing his Divine Might!

This is a power that only Grandmaster Realm can unleash. With his Three Immortalities levels of Divine Soul, he unleashed Divine Might, and its effect far surpassed that of the Grandmaster Realm.

Like a divine emperor descending, an immense pressure surged forth, like waves of Dao Sound energy.

The countless sword shadows suddenly crumbled inch by inch!

Boundless Sea's strongest sword strike was actually shattered by his Divine Might roar!

At the same time, under the awe of the Divine Might, Li Hao's face turned pale, his chest Qi and Blood, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

His gaze was as if he were facing a Heaven and Earth God King, and he felt a desire to prostrate himself in worship, wanting to bow down under that overwhelming Divine Might!

But bowing down?!

A Violence Blood Qi suddenly appeared in Li Hao's eyes.

If it were the first time father and son met, he would be willing to kneel down and bow down even if Li Tiangang said just one word.

The son kneels down to the father!

He kneels to express his Bloodline, and to acknowledge the kindness shown to him when the other party risked their life to slay Three Thousand Years- Great Demon and for whom he Blood Fusion to Foundation Establishment!

But now,

The bond between father and son has broken down.

He would rather die in battle than kneel down!!

"Aaaaaah!!!"

Li Hao roared to the sky, his anger raging. He also roared from his throat, unleashing the Trait of the Path of the Physical Body: Tiger Pressure!

Although there was no roar, it was as if a tiger had been unleashed from its cage, emanating a powerful aura that surged towards the vast Divine Might!

A look of surprise flashed in Li Tiangang's eyes. It was actually the divine Divine Might of the Grandmaster Realm?

Although its power is not great, it already has a basic form!

He snorted coldly, his Divine Soul wielding the sword, and strode forward, intending to completely annihilate Li Hao's Dharma Form and suppress it!

Seeing that Tiger Pressure could not stop his opponent, Li Hao's eyes turned ferocious, and he quickly brought up the many illustrations he had collected earlier.

After the battle of Cangyu City, he found many Famous Painting, but they have not yet been incorporated into his collection.

These Famous Painting are:

Thousand Mountains Bird Flight Painting, Snow Mountain Spirit Fox Painting, Qilin Steed Painting, Blood Sea Ferocious Jiaolong Painting, Coiled Mountain Painting, Qiongqi Mountain Painting!

At this moment, Li Hao had no time to select or consider what Trait these Famous Painting could provide for the Path of the Physical Body. He simply incorporated them all into the Path of the Physical Body.

In an instant, his bones and muscles seemed to be transformed and changed by some unseen, vast power.

A flood of information rushed into my mind, all of them describing the Trait of each item in the Pokédex.

There are three illustrations in the encyclopedia that have a similar "Tiger Pressure" effect!

A bloodshot glint appeared in Li Hao's eyes as he activated the three images one by one.

Blood Sea Ferocious Jiaolong Painting!

A roar like a dragon's howl resounded from his body, and the surrounding air seemed to be filled with a rich blood color, with the faint phantom of a giant dragon hovering behind Li Hao!

The dragon shadow was a hundred feet long, its body seemingly tumbling and turning in a sea of blood, roaring towards Li Tiangang, who was radiating Divine Might!

But the Divine Soul, shining with golden light, though slightly Pause by the roar of the Jiaolong, did not stop; instead, it quickened its pace once more!

But then, the Trait of the second image are revealed.

Coiled Mountain Painting!

It was as if a majestic and beautiful mountain peak appeared behind Li Hao, suppressing all directions and giving Li Hao a sense of stability and immovability!

"Snort!"

Li Tiangang's Divine Soul were cold. Although he was shocked, he did not stop. What did it matter if there were mountains? He had slain countless demons in Northern Yan. He would slay demons and level mountains!

Everything will be crushed before him!

But just then, a low growl like a cow's moo suddenly rang out.

A dark, shadowy figure emerged from behind Li Hao, its form resembling both a tiger and an ox, with wings on its back, and it landed on the mountain.

His gaze Bloodlust, his eyes cruel and gloomy, staring intently at Li Tiangang, exuding an ancient aura of Sha Qi and ferocity.

This is the ferocious beast Qiongqi from the Great Wasteland Heaven!

Its Divine Might was as if a real ferocious beast had personally descended!

Li Tiangang's expression changed, and the blazing Divine Flame on his Divine Might Blade were forced to dissipate, revealing only the smooth blade.

With the combined pressure of the three forces, plus the previous Tiger Pressure, the boy now stood in the arena, his hair moving without wind, as if surrounded by a hundred beasts, like a king of the mountains, exuding terrifying power and wildness!

Li Tiangang's Divine Soul was also momentarily captivated, and he was slightly lost in thought. This terrifying pressure was enough to make even Grandmaster bow down!

Is this his own son?

Within the Fifteen Li Realm, one can fight Grandmaster!

This Heavenly Talent is unprecedented and something to be proud of.

However, his nature is wild and untamed!

Li Tiangang's eyes turned cold again, and he felt a pang of regret. Perhaps he should have taken Li Hao with him back then, taken him to Northern Yan, even if it was more dangerous. If he had kept him by his side to take care of him, he wouldn't have developed this wild nature.

Otherwise, with such Heavenly Talent, why wouldn't he shine brightly All Under Heaven?

"Very good, but unfortunately you've taken the wrong path!"

Li Tiangang took a deep breath, and as his eyes opened and closed, a captivating Divine Radiance shone forth.

He showed no mercy, his Divine Soul gripping the blade tightly as he unleashed an extremely domineering strike!

The terrifying blade aura was formed on its own, seemingly capable of cleaving the entire Green Lotus Courtyard, and even the Divine General Residence, in two!

Such power was several times more ferocious than Li Hao's previous Boundless Sea Swordsmanship.

"Li Tiangang!"

Li Qingzheng couldn't help but change color and shouted angrily.

But Li Tiangang ignored him and aimed his blade straight for Li Hao's Divine Soul.

The Killing Aura contained within the Knife Intent was like millennia- Frozen Heaven and Earth, possessing an unstoppable power capable of splitting the heavens and earth.

Li Hao's expression changed drastically. Even though he possessed the Trait three Famous Painting, which allowed him to withstand the opponent's Divine Might, he couldn't stop this strike!

Without any hesitation, Li Hao quickly Divine Soul body, merging his soul and body into Unity, and used his power to Object Manipulation to dodge at full speed.

His body seemed to suddenly become ten times lighter. This was due to the enhancement of the Thousand Mountains Bird Flight Painting and the Snow Mountain Spirit Fox Painting, which greatly increased his Movement Method speed.

However, the attack was fierce, and despite Li Hao's best efforts to dodge, he was still struck. As he dodged, his opponent suddenly accelerated!

With a loud thud, Li Hao spat out a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward like a tattered sack, crashing through several courtyard walls before finally coming to a stop.

The servants and maids in the courtyard all stared blankly as Li Hao tumbled in.

Amidst the dust, the boy, coughing up blood, struggled to his feet.

Without pausing, Li Hao rushed towards the Divine General Residence at full speed.

Although he was furious, the difference in their cultivation levels was simply too great. If he stayed any longer, the consequences would be far more serious than just getting injured!

"Where do you think you're going!"

A furious roar rang out, and Li Tiangang's figure chased after them like a meteor burning with Divine Radiance.

Li Hao didn't even turn his head, unleashing his full power of Object Manipulation as he fled out of the mansion.

His speed in Object Manipulation is forty miles per breath. At this moment, he mobilizes Great Meridian in his body and releases the power of his Yin Yang Dual Meridians to amplify his speed by several miles.

This was already far beyond the speed of the Fifteen Li Realm, but the whooshing sound behind them was even faster!

Li Tiangang, who took charge of the True Dragon on behalf of others, also received enhancements from various realms within the Ancestral Shrine. In addition, he was at the Three Immortalities Realm. Although he was injured and briefly fell, he was still far superior to those at the Fifteen Li Realm.

With a loud thud, a palm print came crashing down.

Just as Li Hao rushed out of the Divine General Residence, he was slammed down from mid-air and crashed heavily into a building on the street.

Li Hao scrambled to his feet from the scattered rubble. Many people around him were injured by the impact, but he had no time to care about that now.

However, as Li Hao got up, he saw the figures of a father and son outside the ruins of the building.

Zhou Zheng and his father.

Li Hao's body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the angry roar he had heard before class that day:

"... I know my son is a human being, an upright human being, not a rat that spoils the whole pot of porridge!"

"... He just failed at martial arts, it doesn't mean he's unworthy of being a human being!!"

"My son may not be highly talented, but he has a pure heart. Even if he's only at the Power Through Realm, he's still my pride. How dare you insult him like this?!"

Li Hao coughed up a little blood, but a self-deprecating look appeared in his eyes.

It's strange that I remember so much, so clearly, what a stranger said.

Did I ever harbor any expectations in my heart?

Is it the power of Bloodline or the societal indoctrination that fathers and sons should have a deep bond?

Was it the memory of slaying a demon for him in his childhood that softened his heart?

He was deeply moved and grateful for the kindness he received.

Who could have predicted that I would end up so badly injured?

At that moment, a violent palm wind pressed down from the sky above, seemingly about to shatter the entire earth.

Li Hao looked up, a gust of wind brushing his face. He saw the divine palm, then those angry, cold eyes, and couldn't help but sneer.

But then it suddenly turned around and galloped away into the distance.

He didn't expect the other party to show mercy; his life was his own, and he didn't want to die here.

"Don't go!"

Li Tiangang's gaze turned cold as he promptly withdrew his palm strike to avoid harming innocent bystanders.

He then leaped after it.

On the long street, in the sky, father and son were rushing to pursue a killer.

Ordinary people couldn't see it, but the terrifying waves of Killing Aura that swept across the sky made countless people look up in fear.

With a loud bang!

Li Hao's body was slammed down again by a palm strike, crashing into a building. He rolled over and got up, simultaneously flipping out Panel.

What else can be improved?

What else can save my life?!

He saw the Music Compendium and immediately embedded several Musical Rhythm pieces into the Imperial Dao.

A flood of information rushed into my mind, as if a phoenix's cry had been heard, or perhaps the sound of Little Reed Pipe a type of reed pipe), and several Trait emerged.

But Li Hao quickly passed by, and none of the things he encountered could help him escape quickly or bring him a significant boost.

He unfolded the Panel, intending to search, but what he saw was a dense array of Cultivation Practice Method.

He possessed a vast array of Cultivation Method, but at this moment, none of Cultivation Method could help him escape the peril!

At the same time, that figure, imbued with the Divine Might of Heaven and Earth, had already pursued them, its vast power enveloping the area above.

"Keep running, why aren't you running?"

"You thought you were so great, that you could bully your own brother and kill your father? What do you mean, this is all you're capable of!"

Li Tiangang's gaze was icy as he looked down at Li Hao, then suddenly raised his hand and slammed it down.

Li Hao's eyes widened in fury as he looked at the descending palm print, and he unleashed Boundless Sea once again!

A mighty sword aura gathered and spread in all directions.

Amidst the countless sword shadows, Li Hao stopped running; he knew he couldn't escape.

Only a bloody battle, a fight to the death, will suffice!

The gleam of countless Sword Light reflected on his face, but his gaze suddenly turned calm.

The sea has the sky for company, but what about oneself?

Li Hao felt a slight pang of sadness, but he quickly thought of the Little White Fox had risked her life to shield him, and of Li Yuanzhao who had always trusted him.

He also thought of Second Master, Old Feng, Fifth Master... A smile appeared on his face. At least in the past ten years or so, he hadn't been a failure; he still had a few people he could confide in.

A fierce light shone in his eyes as he gazed at the countless sword shadows shattering under the Divine Might.

Though many sword shadows appeared, none could withstand the power of a single Divine Might.

All these years I've acquired numerous Cultivation Method, but I haven't found my own path.

Where does my path lead?

Where is my true home?

Li Hao thought of the many interesting things he had seen in ancient times at the Listening Rain Pavilion recently.

Most Grandmaster build their own systems of Cultivation Method by drawing inspiration from the Cultivation Method of others or by referencing the natural habits of Demon Beast.

Grandmaster is one who takes himself as his teacher.

If you have no mentor, forge your own path and become the mentor on that path.

If that's the case, why bother sticking to the forms of these Cultivation Method?

Suddenly, it felt like lightning flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he had an instant, profound realization.

He had many different Cultivation Method, all of which were beneficial to his physical body and spiritual progress, but he had not categorized them.

These Cultivation Method are all other people's Cultivation Method, not my own.

With his Dao Realm Comprehension, he was able to refine some low- to mid-grade Cultivation Method into profound mysteries.

This profound principle is like another path opened up by referring to the Cultivation Method, but it is not yet complete.

Therefore, he only had one foot in the Grandmaster Realm.

Speaking of references...

Li Hao watched the figure shatter the myriad sword shadows, but his gaze swept past the figure and landed on the vast sky filled with Dark Clouds.

Time seemed to stand still around him, and even the clamorous wind quieted down.

Even someone as powerful as Li Tiangang, one of the Three Immortalities, exists within this Heaven and Earth and under this sky.

If we need a reference point, why not use Heaven and Earth, and All Things in the universe, as a reference?

At that moment, the countless Sword Move in his mind vanished.

Countless borders and boundaries disappeared, leaving only the Sword Intent itself.

The Aura within his body began to circulate naturally, and without his own awareness, it surged and vibrated through his Great Meridian along a special trajectory.

The power emanating from this Aura seemed to spread into Li Hao's eyes, and he saw Dao Gate faintly emerging in the Heaven and Earth before him.

That is, Heavenly Gate).

It turns out that the Heavenly Gate is everywhere; it is not in the Heaven and Earth, but in one's own heart!

Li Hao burst into laughter, his chest heaving with Aura, and kicked open the Heavenly Gate!

A vast Aura emanated from his body, rising suddenly like a whirlwind.

At this moment, Li Hao felt a similar sentiment to the line from the poem he had recited in the Brothel earlier:

Like a roc rising with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!

The Heavenly Gate was opened, as if stepping into another world.

I felt extremely refreshed all over, like stepping into a brand new world, surfacing from deep water, with incredibly delicate and clear sensations on my skin.

Dust can be observed, even with the naked eye!

This demonstrates an extremely delicate and masterful Mastery over the body.

This Mastery allowed Li Hao to advance his Cultivation Method to a deeper level.

As State of Mind breaks free, a flood of previously restricted information rushes in all at once, like a burst dam.

Following the Boundless Sea Swordsmanship, a completely new sword style also emerged.

The Boundless Sea: Other Shore!

With a whoosh, the sword in Li Hao's hand roared like a dragon, as if sensing its master's will, and flashed with intense light.

All these changes happen in an instant. In the world of the State of Mind, the flow of time is completely different from that outside. It's like you can have hundreds of thoughts flashing through your mind in a single breath, but in reality, you can only raise your hand.

The sudden enlightenment I just experienced led me into a deeper level of consciousness and thought. In that state, my thoughts surged rapidly, with tens of thousands of ideas arising in the outside world in the Past of an eye.

When the sword is raised again, a new Swordsmanship emerges, Other Shore is born!

The figure that descended from the sky rushed in at this moment, its palm strike, like that of Buddha suppressing demons, aimed at his head.

But suddenly, the palm print seemed to drift further and further away.

A flash of Sword Light suddenly swept across, severing the distance between them.

This sword strike seemed to have severed the Void itself, containing some kind of Power of Principle!
