Leaving an image on the Heavenly Stele (third update)

After Lu Chunsheng left, Li Hao wandered around the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.

The dazzling array of Cultivation Method, categorized in various ways, gave Li Hao the feeling of strolling through the Listening Rain Pavilion.

But this place lacked the scent of sandalwood found at the Listening Rain Pavilion, and it was much cleaner, suggesting it was frequently visited.

In the sunlight streaming in from outside the pavilion, every speck of dust was clearly visible, drifting across the Cultivation Method manuals.

Li Hao first toured the Imperial Dao Cultivation Method.

Seeking methods for Meridian Opening Method and Qi Circulation Method.

The display of Cultivation Method in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was similar to that in the Listening Rain Pavilion, with top-grade Cultivation Method displayed on the top floor. Li Hao found seven top-grade Qi Circulation Method and five Peerless Meridian Opening Method.

The Peerless Meridian Opening Method in the Listening Rain Pavilion are only recorded in three books.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion focuses on Intelligence, so its profound foundation is understandable.

Li Hao added all the Cultivation Method to the Panel. Based on his understanding of the Sixth Stage of the Imperial Dao, the Panel directly showed that the Cultivation Method had reached Perfection after being added.

All the details about the five Meridian Opening Method flooded into my mind.

Li Hao quietly closed his eyes, seemingly having cultivated the five Peerless Meridian Opening Method for decades, with many insights gradually merging into his memory.

Li Hao gradually understood the locations of the Meridians that these Meridian Opening Method could open, and which Meridians they were.

There are many overlapping Meridians with the Cultivation Method he practiced before.

As more Meridians are opened, the number of Meridians opened by these overlapping Cultivation Method also increases.

Nevertheless, each of the five Peerless Meridian Opening Method has its own unique path, adding seven new Meridians for Li Hao!

There were originally 98 Great Meridian, now there are 105!

Three more Great Meridian are needed to Perfection!

"Unfortunately, there's too much overlap."

Li Hao felt regretful. Each of these five top-grade Meridian Opening Art could open more than 50 Great Meridian, but even if he mastered them all and they overlapped, he would only gain seven additional Great Meridian.

No wonder opening up all the Great Meridian in the body is so difficult; even during the thousands of years of the Great Yu Dynasty, there were hardly any records of it.

That's too difficult.

It takes too much time. To master a Perfection - Peerless Meridian Opening Method, it would take at least several decades of hard work.

Even geniuses need ten or eight years to develop this skill.

Ordinary people don't have his Dao Realm Comprehension, and he can easily master techniques by using the Dao.

Unless you rely on lifespan and slowly push it forward, which also requires connections and resources.

"If we could master the Royal Meridian Opening Method, we should be able to repair the remaining three Great Meridian!"

Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.

Unfortunately, this is just wishful thinking.

Practicing the Royal Meridian Opening Method is a capital offense.

This is one of the foundations of the Imperial Family; it cannot be touched lightly.

Li Hao snapped out of his thoughts, turned around, and went downstairs.

On the first floor below, there are many superior Meridian Opening Method.

Li Hao flipped through the collection one by one. As more and more Meridian Opening Method were collected, more and more information accumulated in Li Hao's mind.

Each Meridian Opening Method recorded in the Panel is at the Perfection level, but unfortunately, they all overlap with the Great Meridian opened by the many Meridian Opening Method that Li Hao had previously mastered.

Although the different methods take different approaches, the Meridians they open up are not significantly different.

Li Hao walked down the stairs, one floor at a time.

After collecting more than twenty superior Meridian Opening Method, one of them finally opened up a new Great Meridian Opening Method Li Hao.

Li Hao was somewhat pleased and continued.

Not long after, three more books were collected, and surprisingly, one of them was a Meridian Opening Method, which could open up another Great Meridian.

Now, there are already 107 channels, only one last Great Meridian is missing.

Li Hao continued reading, having finished collecting all the superior-grade Meridian Opening Method, and then looked at the mid-grade ones. However, after reading through dozens of mid-grade techniques, he found that they were all overlapping.

Li Hao could only cling to his last hope and go check the lower-grade items. If he couldn't find any, he would have to wait until he had time to visit those prestigious families one by one to ask for more.

Just when Li Hao had given up hope, he received thirty-two low-grade Meridian Opening Method in succession. Suddenly, the information brought by one of the Meridian Opening Method stunned Li Hao.

This inferior Meridian Opening Method is extremely strange, taking an unconventional approach, and it just so happens to open up that last Great Meridian.

All 108 Great Meridian have corresponding Cultivation Method that have been developed!

After a moment of stunned silence, Li Hao was overjoyed and couldn't wait to start cultivating.

But since this was the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, he restrained himself and did not practice here.

Otherwise, with Great Meridian in his body connected, plus the Yin Yang Dual Meridians, Li Hao couldn't guarantee what kind of strange phenomena might occur.

The previous Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and the Divine Power State were extremely tumultuous, and since they involved the secrets of one's own Martial Arts, they should be concealed if possible.

The reason why swords have sheaths is to conceal their sharpness.

Now that he had Perfection the Meridian Opening, Li Hao returned to the rooftop to search for Body Refining method.

Similarly, through continuous collection and searching, Li Hao found hundreds of books, with a flood of information pouring in.

Although they haven't been practiced yet, Li Hao knows that many of the Cultivation Method here can hone his physical abilities to areas he couldn't reach before.

After the rehearsal, his physical strength will definitely improve again.

Next came Swordsmanship, Fist Art, and so on.

Li Hao mastered and recorded them one by one.

As he went up and down recording, the sound of a piano suddenly drifted from the rooftop.

"Young General, there are many secret manuals, but don't be overwhelmed by them. Let me play a piece on the zither to calm your mind, shall we?"

Lu Chunsheng's voice transmission reached my ears.

Although it was a question, the music had already begun.

"..._?"

Li Hao:_

"You just want to play the piano yourself, don't you..." Li Hao thought to himself, but could only reply telepathically, "Thank you, Master Lu."

Understanding and navigating interpersonal relationships.

As the sound of a zither drifted from the rooftop, Li Hao continued his search for secret manuals.

Although Li Hao felt that Lu Louzhu's piano skills still needed improvement, the Second Dan of his playing was indeed quite good as background music.

Moreover, he only needs to glance at the Cultivation Method; he doesn't need to really delve into it or study it. Otherwise, the music would become the biggest noise.

Time passed.

An hour later, Li Hao had added many of the Cultivation Method inside to the Panel.

All those top-tier Cultivation Method were swept away, except for certain ones that couldn't be recorded, such as Blade Technique and Spear Techniques.

His Blade Technique and Spear Techniques were not yet at Entering the Dao, so they could not be recorded on the Panel except through self-discovery.

However, Li Hao had no intention of wasting his Art Skill Point on swords and spears.

Fists and swords are enough.

One sword strike is all it takes to kill the enemy; there's no need for a follow-up slash or a spear thrust.

It's better to master something well than to have a lot of knowledge; after all, Art Skill Point don't come easily.

Besides completing the Great Meridian, the biggest gains from this trip were the Qi Circulation Method and Movement Method.

He possessed very few Movement Method, Heaven and Earth Trace Erasing Art given to him by Old Feng was considered a top-tier Signature Technique among supreme techniques.

Now, with the addition of numerous Movement Method, the insights gained from these Movement Method have been integrated into Li Hao's mind, greatly enhancing his Movement Method.

"Four top-tier movement Movement Method, plus Old Feng's, plus eighteen high-grade movement Movement Method..."

Li Hao was eager to test just how fast he could go when he unleashed his full power.

Although he could only use one Movement Method at a time, Li Hao had cultivated all of them to the True State, and was able to combine their Movement Method and compensate for their weaknesses.

Furthermore, with his mastery of Grandmaster arts, he absorbed the essence of many Movement Method and made them his own.

Li Hao returned to the rooftop satisfied, and even the music played by Master Lu seemed to have become more pleasant to the ear.

"Young General, do you have any preferred Cultivation Method?" Lu Chunsheng asked with a smile.

Seeing that Li Hao came out so quickly, he secretly praised him as a gentleman.

He had previously let Li Hao go in and choose whatever he wanted, intending for Li Hao to secretly memorize many Cultivation Method techniques inside.

This was his way of hinting at Li Hao, and also a way of doing Li Hao a favor.

But now it seems that even if Li Hao had memorized other Cultivation Method, he couldn't have memorized too many in such a short time.

To drink in moderation is the mark of a gentleman.

"That Swordsmanship in 'Embroidered Spring Breeze' is quite good." Li Hao brought out a top-grade Sword Manual and said, "This is it."

"Young General, you have a good eye. This Swordsmanship was created eight hundred years ago by a Three Immortalities Realm. The Swordsmanship is sharp, but the Sword Intent is gentle, which is quite suitable for your gentle nature, Young General," Lu Chunsheng said with a smile.

Although they didn't have much contact, he could tell that Li Hao was different from other military generals; he didn't have such a strong Aura of killing, and his nature was gentle and refined.

This is one of the reasons why he finds it pleasing to the eye.

"You flatter me, Master Lu," Li Hao said with a smile.

Lu Chunfeng handed the brewed tea to Li Hao and said with a smile, "Young General, do you have any comments on the piece I just played?"

Li Hao:(/"≡_≡)=

"Practice makes perfect..." Li Hao coughed lightly and said, "Master Lu's zither playing is like this cup of tea—sweet and refreshing!"

"Ha ha..."

Lu Chunfeng burst into laughter, thinking to himself that this kid certainly knew his stuff.

In high spirits, he said, "Actually, I have another piece, which I composed myself. Would the Young General like to hear it?"

Although it was a question, she was already trying to stand up from the Meditation Cushion.

Just as Li Hao was about to speak, a commotion suddenly arose outside the building.

Li Hao possessed an exceptionally strong physique, and despite the distance, he heard clearly. He immediately asked curiously, "Lord Lu, what's that over there?"

Lu Chunfeng had just stood up, glanced outside the pavilion, and then smiled:

"It seems someone has passed the Heavenly Shadow Stele. Young General, would you like to go and take a look? And while you're at it, let our disciples from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion learn from you."

"Good."

Li Hao agreed.

The two immediately flew out of the pavilion and headed towards the Daoist Dao Arena.

In one spot in the Dao Arena, many disciples who had been practicing earlier were gathered.

Ahead of them, outside the Dao Arena, lay a high mountain with numerous black stone tablets standing in rows.

These stone tablets are all two or three zhang tall, standing on the ground. If they weren't so large, they would look like a row of tombstones.

"Senior Apprentice Sister Tang viewed the stele Three Times and successfully challenged Senior Apprentice Brother Jiang!"

"That's amazing! Only Three Times visits to the stele!"

"Senior Apprentice Sister Tang is a renowned talent. She mastered that High-Grade Sword Art in just three tries and Dexterous Level in seven days!"

"It's a pity that Senior Apprentice Sister Tang came from a humble background. Although her comprehension was exceptional, she lacked good resources for cultivation in her early years. Now that she's older, she can't enter the Universe Rankings, otherwise she would have become famous long ago!"

"Shh, do you have a death wish? Why bring up this taboo?"

Don't you feel sorry for him?

"What do you mean 'feel sorry'? How dare you say Senior Apprentice Sister Tang is too old? You must have a death wish!"

"..."

Before the stone tablet, many disciples whispered among themselves, occasionally expressing their amazement and sighs.

Suddenly, someone noticed Li Hao and Lu Chunsheng speeding towards them.

They were all complete strangers to Li Hao, but extremely familiar with Lu Chunsheng.

After all, there is a statue of Lu Chunsheng in front of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion's mountain gate.

This young man, traveling with the Chief Pavilion Master, must be Qilin Child among them. Many people couldn't help but look at him with curiosity, but their first instinct was to immediately bow respectfully.

"Disciple greets the Chief Pavilion Master."

Lu Chunsheng nodded slightly, indicating that the little ones didn't need to be so polite.

Then, he glanced at Li Hao beside him and chuckled, "Let me introduce you all, this is Young General Haotian."

He knew about Li Hao's relationship with the Li Family and what Li Hao had said at the Grandmaster Assembly, so he did not touch Li Hao's sore spot and introduced him by his original name.

"Hao, Young General Haotian?"

Everyone was stunned, and some people didn't react for a moment.

But soon, everyone's eyes widened slightly.

Among the crowd, a woman who had previously been the center of attention stood out. She was tall and slender, holding a long sword, with eyes as sharp as Autumn Water, exuding a cool and aloof air.

Upon hearing Lu Chunsheng's introduction, her indifferent gaze faltered slightly as she looked at the gentle-faced young man.

As disciples of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, they had access to more and more Intelligence, and naturally knew about the many deeds of this Young General Haotian.

He was appointed a general and granted a noble title at the age of fourteen, fulfilling the dreams of countless young people.

Even as a woman, I felt quite curious about that legendary young man.

Seeing the shocked and astonished expressions of the crowd, Lu Chunsheng smiled, then noticed the aloof and beautiful woman in the crowd. He said to Li Hao:

"Is this your first time here? Would you be interested in trying out our Heavenly Shadow Stele from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion Mystery Pavilion?"

"This is the Heavenly Shadow Stele?"

Li Hao looked at the numerous black stone tablets with some surprise.

I've heard Second Master mention before that the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion once found Extraterrestrial Divine Stone, containing the Dao Resonance the Heaven and Earth, capable of imprinting a person's Cultivation Method onto the stone.

The Heavenly Secrets Pavilion cut this stone in half to create the Heavenly Shadow Stele, which became a beautiful feature of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and attracted countless geniuses a thousand years ago.

Later, some events occurred, Heavenly Secrets Pavilion decided to reserve this stele for its own disciples only, no longer opening it to the public.

Lu Chunsheng invited Li Hao at this moment because he wanted Li Hao to give it a try. If he could leave the image of this legendary young man on the Heavenly Shadow Stele, the stele would be sealed and used as an inspiration for the disciples in the building in the future.
