I don't care if my surname is Ji, but you cannot insult my name!

A burst of brilliant light suddenly erupted from the Sacred Pillar, enveloping the drop of blood, which then detached from the Sacred Pillar and floated smoothly in the air.

Then, a silvery-gray light shone from the Sacred Pillar, penetrating the round drop of blood and turning it silver before reflecting onto Li Hao.

"They are indeed from the Ji Family."

Seeing that the holy light could penetrate the blood, everyone knew that this young man indeed possessed the Bloodline of the Ji Family.

They all held their breath, watching the Silver Light pierce through the blood and shine on Li Hao.

From head to toe, Li Hao was bathed in silver light, his skin seemingly transparent, with dazzling silver light emanating from within—the radiance of the Ji Family Bloodline drawn by the power of Sage.

After a long while, the silver light subsided and dissipated, and everything on the Sacred Offering Platform returned to normal.

"No Saintly Voice echoed, no Sacred Bone..."

Before the boy could even open his eyes, everyone present could not hide their disappointment at the sight.

Seeing this, Ji Daoxin, who was standing closest, frowned slightly and sighed inwardly. But then he thought, "He's just Half-Blood. If he can really awaken the Sacred Bone, then his luck is just too good."

However, the lack of Sacred Bone will ultimately be a regret.

Upon seeing this, Ji Tianchao, Ji Yunyue, and the others were all disappointed and sighed inwardly. Although they would not ignore Li Hao because he did not have a Sacred Bone, the child's achievements would be even greater if he did have one.

Ji Qingfeng, standing to the side, sneered slightly, wanting to say a few sarcastic words to his father. But when he looked up, he saw that his father and several uncles were all frowning slightly, their faces showing no joy. He was taken aback.

He suddenly realized that his father and the others didn't seem to have much hostility towards the boy.

Is it because of sending the Yun Ge War God, back?

"As expected, Half-Blood could never possess Sacred Bone!"

"To allow him to ascend the Sacred Offering Platform is an insult to our Progenitor!"

Beside him, several of Ji Qingyuan's illegitimate elders breathed a sigh of relief, then sneered.

On the Path of Sacrifice, Li Hao opened his eyes and heard whispers around him. He knew that he indeed did not possess the Sacred Bone.

He wasn't surprised by the result. If he had Sacred Bone, he would have noticed it long ago. With his physical understanding at the Seventh Dan of the Path of the Physical Body, he wouldn't be unable to detect his own physical condition.

Li Hao turned around and looked at Ji Daoxin behind him. He knew that this was the current Family Head of the Ji Family, someone even Ji Yun'ge had to respect. He immediately bowed slightly and said:

"Senior, I would like to see my mother."

Ji Daoxin was slightly surprised. Looking at the young man's calm and composed expression, which showed no sign of disappointment, he was somewhat taken aback.

Almost without exception, the Ji Family Prodigy who came to this Path of Sacrifice to test their Sacred Bone all showed undisguised disappointment upon learning that they had not awakened their Sacred Bone.

On the contrary, the young man before him was extremely calm, and Ji Daoxin could tell that this was not a pretense or a cover-up, but rather that the young man truly did not take the Sacred Bone to heart.

Perhaps they don't know how important the Sacred Bone is... Ji Daoxin's eyes flickered as he said to Li Hao:

"Although you have now joined my Ji Family, your mother previously violated Clan Rules and is currently serving her sentence; you are not permitted to see her."

Li Hao immediately replied, "But Senior Yun Ge said before that as long as I become Ji Family Prodigy, I will be able to see her and help her atone for her sins!"

"You want to atone for your mother's sins and get her out of trouble?"

Ji Daoxin frowned slightly and said, "This is probably very difficult. Only if you become Heavenly Prodigy number one prodigy of my Ji Family and are listed as Dao Seed can your mother's sins be forgiven."

Li Hao nodded and said, "Senior Yun Ge said the same thing, I want to give it a try!"

"Now?"

Ji Daoxin was stunned. Although he could tell that Li Hao's Aura was restrained and that he had a special method of concealing his Aura, he could still sense that Li Hao's body contained extremely vigorous power, which was far beyond what the Three Immortalities Realm could match.

"Yes." Li Hao nodded seriously.

Wow!

Although the two were not talking loudly, most of those present had cultivation levels. They were shocked to hear that Li Hao actually wanted to challenge all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Ji Family and break through to the Dao Seed. What followed was Anger.

"Are you kidding me? Who does he think he is?"

"He just arrived at my Ji Family and already wants to become Dao Seed? Does he think all other Heavenly Prodigy are like Ji Yufen?"

"Promise him, let Ji Mingmu take action and teach him a lesson!"

"Our Ji Family Prodigy cannot be insulted lightly! He's simply too arrogant!"

Everyone was Anger, feeling that Li Hao was too arrogant and didn't respect the other Heavenly Prodigy.

Hearing the people's discussion, Ji Yufen, who had already Awakening in the crowd, blushed. He felt that the young man dared to be so arrogant purely because he had given him the arrogance and confidence.

"Asshole!"

He gritted his teeth, trembling with rage.

Are you sure?

On the Sacred Offering Platform, Ji Daoxin frowned slightly and said, "To become Dao Seed, one needs to defeat all the Heavenly Prodigy of my Ji Family, reach the top, and become the strongest. Ji Yufen, whom you defeated earlier, is also Heavenly Prodigy, but he is too young. Among the Ji Family Prodigy, his strength can only be considered the bottom."

Even among Heavenly Prodigy, the difference in strength can be enormous for those who are only a few years apart.

The younger generation, including Heavenly Prodigy like Ji Mingque, are some of whom are already close to thirty years old, and their strength is extremely formidable.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded seriously; he wasn't joking.

Ji Daoxin gave Li Hao a deep look, his eyes filled with regret and disappointment, and said, "Since that's the case, then so be it."

If Li Hao could have been more patient for a few more years, he might have been optimistic about his future, but Li Hao is simply too young now.

"Family Head, let me teach him a lesson!"

A figure flew through the crowd, landing in mid-air outside the Sacred Offering Platform, glaring angrily at Li Hao:

"I am Ji Mingxin. Don't say I'm bullying you because you're young; you're asking for it!"

Li Hao looked up and saw that the other person looked slightly older than Ji Mingque, around twenty-four or twenty-five years old, already a young man.

It's alright.

Li Hao said.

Seeing Li Hao's confidence, Ji Daoxin thought to himself that Li Hao, having defeated Ji Yufen, must be Heavenly Prodigy who hadn't experienced many setbacks and was inevitably arrogant. He sighed inwardly and said:

"This is not the place for battle. If you wish to War Dao Seed, then ring the Sacred Bell and summon all the other Heavenly Prodigy to Heavenly Dao Mountain!"

As his voice rang out, everyone realized that this was for real.

The Family Head's words were not to be taken lightly. If the Sacred Bell were truly rung, the young man would be like an arrow released from a bow, and there was no choice but to act!

Ji Yunyue and the others rushed to the front of the stage. Ji Yunyue quickly said, "Child, don't be in such a hurry. After you cultivate for a few more years, our Ji Family has plenty of resources. We will nurture you well!"

"That's right, even if you're confident, it's safer to wait a few years."

"You're too impatient, child. This will only cause you hidden harm and delay your future cultivation."

Ji Yunqing and the others joined in, trying to persuade him.

Although he knew from Ji Yun'ge that this young man was extremely strong and could become a leading figure among the Ji Family Prodigy, Li Hao was still too inexperienced at the moment.

I want to bring her back as soon as possible.

Li Hao only said...

Upon hearing the boy's words, Ji Yunqing and the others' expressions changed slightly. Seeing his determined gaze, they hesitated, unable to utter a word.

Seeing that Ji Yunyue and the others could not persuade Li Hao, Ji Daoxin immediately waved his hand and said:

"Let's go, follow me to ring the Sacred Bell."

Li Hao nodded.

Ji Daoxin leaped out, followed by Li Hao, and flew towards the Mountain Summit.

At the Mountain Summit, there was a Dao Platform with a huge bell, as large as an ancient cauldron.

"Sound the Sacred Bell and begin the battle of the Dao Seed; then you will have no way out!" Ji Daoxin solemnly declared.

Li Hao nodded, then used his Control Power to pick up the Divine Iron in front of the bell and smashed it hard against the bell. In an instant, the clear sound of the bell resounded throughout the entire Saint Mountain.

At that moment, everyone on the entire Saint Mountain, including the ordinary people of the Ji Family in the mountain city behind it, heard it and were all shocked.

The Sacred Bell, the Dao Seed emerges—this means someone intends to War Dao!

It's important to understand that War Dao Seed means facing a bloody battle against all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Ji Family. It's not just Sparring; it could result in serious injury or even death!

After all, the battle for the Dao Seed will consume all one's strength to reach the top, and may even require the use of Secret Art, so it is not easy to stop.

"This child is too impatient..."

Ji Yunyue and the others turned pale when they heard the bell ringing from the Mountain Summit.

If I remember correctly, that child was only fifteen years old.

To reach the top at fifteen and compete with those Heavenly Prodigy who are twenty-five or even approaching thirty is simply an impossible task!

"Third Brother is right. This child is extremely loyal and devoted. To do this much for his mother—his sentiment surpasses that of many others!"

Ji Tianchao stood on the Sacred Offering Platform, gazing at the Mountain Summit, his eyes filled with solemnity.

"Quickly think of a way to stop him! Is it too late?" Ji Yunyue said anxiously.

Ji Tianchao shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need to worry too much. Third Brother said that this child can fight against someone at the Unique Skill Realm. Third Brother probably wasn't exaggerating. Maybe this child really can do it!"

How is that possible?

Ji Yunyue's eyes widened, then she realized that she hadn't been able to detect Li Hao's cultivation level. Perhaps Li Hao had already reached the Defying Fate Realm?

In this way, while the Signature Technique Prodigy, it is not entirely impossible.

"That child was too impulsive. His mother is on Heaven Imprisoning Island; although life there is tough, a few years there won't be a big deal..."

Ji Yunyue couldn't help but sigh.

With such talent, it's no wonder Third Brother said that this kid has the potential to fight alongside Ninth Brother in the Future ten years.

As they conversed, the sound of the Sacred Bell, imbued with Dao Resonance, resonated throughout the entire Ji Family.

Even those who cultivated in certain cave abode heard the bell ringing. In an instant, light burst forth from many cave abode, and figures of extraordinary stature flew out from within.

Who is ringing the Sacred Bell of the Ji Family?

"Who dares to War Dao Seed, so arrogantly?!"

"Could it be that Ji Xuanshen has broken through?"

The numerous prodigies of the Ji Family Prodigy paused briefly in front of the cave abode before heading towards the Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao Mountain Saint Mountain.

Besides the many Ji Family Prodigy, the many Ji Family elders who had previously gathered around the Sacred Offering Platform, as well as the Ji Family Prodigy who had come early to watch the spectacle, were all shocked and furious, and all set off for the Heavenly Dao Mountain at the summit.

"You dare War Dao Seed without awakening your Sacred Bone?!"

"I want to see with my own eyes how he'll be crippled!"

Everyone rushed to the Mountain Summit.

This Saint Mountain is vast and majestic. Although it is called the Mountain Summit, it actually has tens of thousands of miles of plains, rivers and mountains. At this moment, Li Hao and Ji Daoxin are standing on one of the towering peaks.

The great bell swayed, its sound echoing.

Countless figures rushed over, gathering at this training Dao Arena for Heavenly Prodigy, Heavenly Dao Mountain.

"Who is ringing the bell, daring to War Dao Seed?!"

A furious shout pierced the air; though the person was far away, the sound had already reached the Dao Arena.

When the strong winds it generated subsided, a tall and robust young man was seen. He noticed Ji Daoxin and quickly bowed in greeting. His gaze then fell on Li Hao, who was standing next to the Family Head.

"It's you?"

"It's me."

Li Hao said.

"Who are you? What lineage do you belong to? What generation are you from? I've never heard of you before," the burly young man asked, staring intently.

You'll hear about it later.

Li Hao said.

As the burly young man arrived, more and more dazzling figures flew in, streaking across the sky and landing around the Dao Arena, numbering in the dozens.

These were all Ji Family Prodigy. Many of them had been cultivating in their cave abode and hadn't joined in the fun. Some were even unaware of Ji Yun'ge's return and Seclusion in their cave abode.

But the Sacred Bell contains the Dao Resonance, and its sound is all-pervasive, even in cave abode and places of cultivation, so everyone has come here now.

"His name is Ji Le Ping. He's of Half-Blood. He changed his name before even joining the Ji Family, hoping to curry favor with them by bringing back the Yun Ge War God!"

"You despicable scoundrel, you think you can enjoy the resources and privileges of Ji Family Prodigy so easily?"

"Cripple him!"

The Ji Family Prodigy who had rushed to the mountain gate to see Li Hao earlier stepped out one after another, all with cold faces toward Li Hao.

Although Li Hao Ji Yufen, it doesn't mean he can defeat them, since they didn't choose to make a move in the Guest Welcoming Hall.

"I see."

Upon hearing this, many of the talented Heavenly Prodigy who had rushed over turned cold in their eyes.

Those who War Dao Seed are already rivals in competition, let alone a Half-Blood individual!

"He doesn't even have the innate holy bones, yet he dares to dream of becoming a Dao Seed. My Ji family only has one Dao Seed; who does he think he is?"

"What a lousy name! Let's get started already, I need to go back to cultivate after this."

"Who wants to go first? If not, I'll go first!"

Many of the Heavenly Prodigy chimed in with their own opinions, some growing impatient.

Ji Daoxin glanced at Li Hao, and seeing that the young man was calm and showed no fear, he shook his head slightly and said loudly:

"Now, Ji Le Ping War Dao Seed. Who among you is willing to accept the challenge? If no one accepts, his challenge will be considered successful!"

The rules for challenging the Dao Seed are simple and straightforward: aside from not being able to use group attacks or a tag-team battle, all other methods are allowed.

For each game he wins, Li Hao will get a day off.

"I'll go first!"

"I, I'll do it!"

Among the dozens of Heavenly Prodigy, seven or eight immediately stepped forward, wanting to challenge Li Hao.

"I'll do it, and this time I'll give it my all!"

Ji Mingque also stepped forward, his eyes icy cold. He was annoyed that Li Hao had caught his spear earlier, and now he wanted to truly test his skills against Li Hao.

Seeing their endless argument, Li Hao calmly said, "If you can't decide, you can all come at me."

Wow!

These words shocked the crowd gathered outside even more.

That's outrageous! Has this kid really never died?

Despite the overwhelming pressure from so many Heavenly Prodigy, he still dares to speak so arrogantly!

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, even those Heavenly Prodigy who were too lazy to make a move suddenly flashed a cold light in their eyes.

"Damn it, I'll do it!"

A figure rushed straight onto the stage, his Aura exploding, and immediately drew his sword to slash at Li Hao.

The sound of the blade, like a dragon's roar, rang out instantly, then transformed into a Silver River -white blade of light that slashed down vertically.

Li Hao stood still, the blade light guided by the Dao Resonance, instantly attacking him. Only then did he raise his hand and shatter it with a punch. Then, his figure blurred, and he used the Heaven and Earth Trace Erasing Art to appear in front of the Anger youth in an instant.

The young man's pupils contracted, and before he could react, he saw Li Hao's fist hurtling towards him.

With a loud thud, it slammed directly into his chest, shattering his bones. The violent force of the punch pierced through his body, sending him flying.

"What?!"

The others' expressions changed drastically when they saw the young prodigy sent flying backward. He was Four Establishments Realm Heavenly Prodigy cultivator, yet he was defeated by that boy in the blink of an eye?!

"Such fast Movement Method!"

"His Aura has been revealed; he's not at the Four Establishments Realm, he's at the Three Immortalities?!"

Previously, Li Hao's Aura had been concealed and could not be seen clearly, but now that he had made a move, his Aura was leaked, and everyone realized that this young man was not at the Four Establishments Realm, but at the Three Immortalities!

This shocked everyone present. They had thought that the young man was so arrogant because he had reached the Four Establishments Realm, but they never expected him to be only at the Three Immortalities!

Offstage, Ji Yunyue, Ji Tianchao, and the others also showed slight changes in their expressions.

The Three Immortalities Realm?

Third Brother said he could fight against the Unique Skill Realm, but he's only at the Three Immortalities Realm —how is that possible?!

Ji Yufen in the crowd, was filled with shock as his Anger face turned to one of shock. He was also at the Three Immortalities Realm, but he did not possess the power of Li Hao at all.

Moreover, that Movement Method was so advanced that even Dao Heart Realm cultivator couldn't react in time; it must be Unique Skill Realm Movement Method from the Ultimate Realm.

And they even cultivated it to an extremely high level!

Where did he find the time to cultivate?

Li Hao's move shocked many people, and even some of the previously Anger and dismissive Heavenly Prodigy became serious.

However, considering that this is Dao Seed Contest, even defeating someone in the Dao Heart Realm is far from enough to Dao Contention Seed!

"The rest of you don't need to participate. Those below the Defying Fate Realm, all of you, leave the stage!"

One of the Heavenly Prodigy spoke in a calm, indifferent voice.

He stood quietly with his hands behind his back, his Aura restrained, like a mountain, making everyone feel oppressed.

Hearing his words, many people looked resentful, but dared not argue with him.

"Then let me do it."

From the crowd, a young man in white stepped forward and said to Li Hao, "I'll be waiting for you here at this time tomorrow. Go and get some rest."

Li Hao cracked his fist and calmly said, "It's alright, we can resolve this today!"

The young man in white was slightly taken aback, his eyes immediately turning cold as he said:

"You said it yourself!"

Having said that, as if worried that Li Hao might change his mind, he suddenly unleashed his aura and stepped into the Dao Arena.

"A mere Half-Blood -race person dares to set foot in my Ji Family! Ji Le Ping? What an unpleasant name! Once I cripple you, you'd better change your name and get out of the Ji Family!"

The young man in white raised his hand and took out a sword from the Heaven and Earth Space. In an instant, it seemed as if the sound of waves was revealed from behind him, Sword Intent surged like a tide.

Li Hao's calm eyes suddenly flashed with a cold, piercing light. "I don't care if my surname is Ji, but you cannot dishonor my name!"

"That's not something you can just talk about; it's about whether you have the ability to back up your boasts!"

The white-robed youth suddenly made his move, unleashing his Aura and simultaneously employing numerous Signature Technique Cultivation Method. His Meridian Opening Method and Qi Circulation Fortune Circulation Method surpassed even those of the Imperial Clan of the Great Yu Dynasty, unleashing a soaring power.

His refinement of spirit and Soul Condensation are also like this. His soul is inherited from the Progenitor Sage, and he can Soul Condensation 270 times!

He unleashed his full power at this moment, aiming to cripple Li Hao in one move and intimidate the entire audience.

A terrifying aura emanated from his body and condensed into his sword. The dazzling Sword-Ray seemed to be a condensation of countless bolts of lightning and fire, and it slashed fiercely towards Li Hao.

"So strong!"

"Ji Mingshou has become even stronger! I heard he's mastered four Signature Techniques, and he's reached the True State level in all of them!"

"His True State... is terrifying!"

The onlookers were all shocked, witnessing the endless Thunderfire that surged forth with the fall of that sword, seemingly about to cleave the entire Heavenly Dao Platform in two!

Li Hao's eyes were icy cold, and his Qi and Blood and qi surged. He did not back down, but instead stepped forward with the strides of a dragon and the gait of a tiger to meet the dazzling Sword Light.

BOOM!!

The terrifying fist swept across instantly, like a thousand hurricanes rising from the ground. The Sword Light was suppressed in an instant, and then, like the cold moonlight, it was suddenly covered by the Blazing Sun and completely submerged!

A figure was sent flying backward, heading straight out of the Heavenly Dao Platform.

Several figures rushed out from the crowd and caught the young man. They were his elders, but when they caught him, their own arms trembled and their bones cracked.

It took several people to catch the young man's body, but the young man in white had already Past.
