The whole clan saw him off

"Le, Leping?!"

Ji Tianchao's voice trembled, a mixture of surprise and excitement. Having experienced countless calamities and battles, this old man had always been able to handle things calmly, but at this moment he was somewhat doubtful, wondering if he had really misjudged the situation due to his old age.

The figure that had arrived with a whoosh landed above the Cloud Character Peaks, clad in Divine Garment formed by the outward release of energy, its eyes calm as it looked at the people on the peaks.

When Li Hao saw Ji Yunyue, he was slightly taken aback, and his expression softened. It seemed that she had not suffered any misfortune and had been rescued by the Ji Family in time.

Furthermore, he didn't sense the couple's Aura, but he didn't care.

"This, this is Leping?"

Ji Yunqing, Ji Yunyue, and the others also came to their senses, including their children, and all looked up in astonishment at the young man's figure.

When they saw the other person's face, which resembled the child's but was not quite the same, and the Aura the Great Peace Dao Realm emanating from them, they were all stunned, confused and bewildered.

Previously, Ji Le Ping was extremely Prodigy, but they could all see that he was only at the Three Immortalities Realm. But now, this young man's Divine Power was radiating outwards, and he could not hide his Aura. He was clearly at the Great Peace Dao Realm!

In just over a month, even if that child broke through to the Four Establishments Realm, it's impossible for them to reach the Dao Realm in one step, right?

"Senior from the Tianchao, I wish to leave this place. Please trouble you to open the Holy Land Secret Realm for me."

Li Hao landed calmly and bowed slightly.

At this moment, his demeanor no longer showed any airs of a junior or a junior, but rather a calm and composed attitude, regarding All Things in Heaven and Earth as equals.

"You, you really are Leping?!"

Upon hearing the boy's address, Ji Tianchao's face showed surprise and disbelief, but even more so, excitement.

Upon hearing his form of address, Li Hao's expression remained unchanged, and he replied:

That's not my current name.

Everyone was stunned. Ji Tianchao's expression changed slightly. "So you're going to change your name back to Li Hao now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao immediately understood that they already knew about his past, presumably from the couple. He shook his head slightly and said:

"I have my own name. If we meet again in the future, you can call me... Haotian."

He had already made up his mind when he was reborn from the Nirvana in the Abyss.

He severed ties with the past and bid farewell to the tiny infant body he had transmigrated into.

I'll lend you two feet of your childlike body, and return you both to have parents...

From now on, it's his own life.

He had already repaid all the kindness he had shown to the couple; he owed neither them nor the baby whose body he had possessed.

After all, without him, that child would have died at the age of six in an assassination attempt by the Divine General Residence.

Now, everything is completely clean.

Everyone was stunned by Li Hao's words. Haotian? Then, what's his surname?

"Child, we already know what happened on Heaven Imprisoning Island. All the criminals there have been executed."

Ji Yunqing quickly said, "Your parents... were expelled according to Clan Rules, and we all thought you were dead. Now that you're back, as long as you agree, we'll send someone to find them and bring them back."

Li Hao remained calm and said, "Senior Yun Qing, I have no parents. How your Ji Family treats them—whether as a reward or punishment, a crime or a good deed—is none of my concern. I am here only to ask you to open the Holy Land Secret Realm for me. Otherwise, if I forcibly tear it apart, I fear it will cause you harm."

Upon hearing the boy's words, everyone stared at Li Hao in astonishment.

But then they remembered the news they had gathered from the Great Yu Dynasty, the indignant roars of the elders in the Council Hall more than a month ago, and their angry curses at the couple, and they all fell silent.

If it weren't for Li Hao 'Dao Seed, that couple would most likely never have been able to leave the Council Hall.

Even if Qingqing is saved by the Thirteenth Child at great personal cost, her husband will undoubtedly die.

After all, the lack of a Dao Seed, or even the indirect harm to the Ji family's Dao Seed, is absolutely unforgivable.

"Child, although your parents are foolish, you still have us. You are still a member of the Ji Family, and we will do everything in our power to raise you."

Ji Yunyue said urgently.

"That's right."

"You are Ji Family. We were negligent before. If you are Anger, you can do whatever you want, and we will help you."

The others spoke up, looking at Li Hao with worried expressions.

Li Hao didn't speak, but instead glanced at Ji Tianchao, who was staring at him with a look of surprise and doubt.

Previously, when he emerged from the Abyss, his clothes were completely destroyed. Now, he is wearing Battle Garment constructed from Divine Power, which means that his Myriad Manifestation Attribute cannot be completely concealed.

Seeing that the old man had already detected it, Li Hao didn't hide anything and simply shut down his Myriad Manifestation Attribute at this moment, allowing his physical Aura to be fully revealed.

"Everyone, take a close look. Do I still carry the Aura of your Ji Family?"

Li Hao said.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly sensed and probed, their expressions all changed drastically as they stared at Li Hao in horror.

"You, how could you?"

Ji Yunqing was taken aback and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you really Leping? Your appearance, your cultivation level...?"

At this moment, Li Hao's appearance had changed, and his cultivation level had also risen to the same Great Peace Dao Realm as them. All of this was incredible; they hadn't bothered to investigate before, but now, they couldn't even sense his Bloodline Aura?

"I Reforging my body and severed my Bloodline."

Li Hao made no attempt to hide anything, simply stating calmly, "Your Leping is dead. From now on, only Haotian exists in this world!"

The boy's words struck everyone's hearts like a morning bell and a evening drum.

In the distance, several figures flew over; they were Ji Daoxin, Ji Qingyuan, and the others who had sensed Li Hao's unfamiliar Aura.

The sudden appearance of unfamiliar Great Peace Dao Realm on the summit of Saint Mountain surprised and astonished them. They were even more stunned to see the young man surrounded by Ji Tianchao and the others, and at the same time, they heard what Li Hao said.

After a brief moment of confusion, they all rushed over, falling behind the crowd. Ji Daoxin looked Li Hao up and down, and said in surprise:

"You climbed out of the Abyss yourself?"

Li Hao glanced at the Family Head and nodded slightly, which was his way of greeting him.

The other Ji Family immediately bowed and paid their respects when they saw Ji Daoxin.

Ji Qingyuan was also observing Li Hao, a hint of shock in his eyes. This young man no longer possessed any trace of the Ji Family's Aura, but his demeanor was exceptional, exuding a Transcendent charm. Compared to before, he seemed even more powerful and terrifying.

The power of Bloodline is something that every illegitimate child of the Ji Family pursues throughout their life.

But the boy abandoned that Bloodline.

This gave him a complex and indescribable feeling, as if something he had been desperately searching for since childhood had been easily discarded by another boy, who, after shedding that thing, did not become depressed but instead went to a higher and farther place.

"Child, how could you be so foolish..."

"Although it was your parents' fault, you are still a descendant of the Ji Family!"

Ji Yunqing was pale, unable to accept such a heavy blow.

This young man severed the Ji Family's Bloodline; wouldn't the Ji Family lose him forever?

Li Hao remained silent, listening to the cries of grief around him and seeing their sorrowful expressions. He felt a pang of regret, but he knew that pain was inevitable after any break.

"Don't be sad, everyone. Just pretend you never met me."

Li Hao said calmly.

These words only deepened Ji Yunyue's sorrow.

Having witnessed the dazzling fireworks, how could one forget that brilliance?

If they had never met Li Hao, they wouldn't be so distressed. But now that they have, the memories cannot be erased, and time cannot be turned back, hence the pain.

Ji Daoxin also understood what had happened. Although he didn't know how Li Hao climbed out of the Abyss or how his appearance changed so suddenly, there was no doubt that something incredible must have happened to Li Hao, which might have even caused his cultivation to break through a major realm.

He also knew the boy's age from the Intelligence he had previously received from the Great Yu Dynasty.

All told, he's only barely sixteen now, still a month short.

But the opponent has already reached the Great Peace Dao Realm!

This cultivation record surpasses all others in the entire ten-thousand-year history of the Ji Family.

Even in the entire Great Wasteland Heaven, he had never heard of such a young Great Peace Dao Realm!

After all, there is a very high threshold between the Unique Skill Realm and the Great Peace Dao Realm.

"You... you really want to leave the Ji Family?"

Ji Daoxin couldn't help but ask, even he couldn't help but feel grief at this moment.

With Li Hao's cultivation level, he could break through the Dao Domain when he was already at the Three Immortalities Realm, and now he can probably roam freely in the Great Peace Dao Realm, making him invincible below the level of Dao Hearing.

Such combat power is no exaggeration to say that he is the strongest Dao Seed Heavenly Prodigy in the Ji Family in ten thousand years.

Now, are they destined to lose it forever?

Others were also trying to persuade him, all with sorrowful faces.

Li Hao looked up at Ji Daoxin, but did not answer. Instead, he asked, "I no longer have the Bloodline of the Ji Family. If I stay, can I still be considered a Dao Seed?"

Ji Daoxin was taken aback by the boy's question. He paused for a moment, about to say yes, but Pause.

Now that Li Hao no longer possesses the bloodline of the Ji family, he can no longer be considered a member of the Ji family by origin. Can he still serve as the seed of the Ji family?

In the past, he would never have even considered such a question; it would have been utterly impossible. But now, this young man was once a Ji Family, and such a situation was something the Ji Family had never encountered before.

If you...

Ji Daoxin was speechless for a long time, and was about to answer, but Li Hao had already shaken his head and said:

Let's part amicably and with dignity.

Ji Daoxin trembled, and looking into the boy's calm eyes, he immediately realized that he could no longer change the situation.

"Child, you haven't had a chance to truly enjoy life yet. My Ji Family owes you a debt; you must give us a chance to make it up to you!"

Ji Yunyue pulled Li Hao along, and said sadly.

Li Hao shook his head slightly and said, "I will remember your kindness in letting me go in the Abyss. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will help you once."

"What kind of kindness is that? I was the one who dragged you down in the first place, so it was only right for me to let go. Besides, I didn't even help you in the end..."

"These are two different things. In the face of life and death, helping others is also a matter of friendship. Whether or not you can help is the outcome, but helping is the intention, and I appreciate that intention."

Li Hao said.

Hearing that Li Hao took such a small matter so seriously, Ji Yunyue felt even more overwhelmed by her sorrow.

Even the simple act of letting go was treated as a favor. Just how disappointed and mistreated this child must that couple have been for him to sever his Bloodline!

"Child, your parents have been fighting since you were little and haven't been able to be with you. Will you give your great-aunt a chance to take care of you?"

Ji Yunyue pleaded, still wanting to keep Li Hao here. Even though Li Hao no longer had Ji Family Bloodline, in her eyes he was still her grandson.

Li Hao sensed the sentiment of his former aunt and smiled slightly, his eyes showing relief and peace.

"Since childhood, I have been taking care of the Xingchen of all ages all by myself, and I will continue to do so in the future."

The child who sat alone in the Courtyard gazing at the Starry Sky remained in his heart.

However, that Courtyard is no longer there.

The Little Tail that used to chase after me in the Courtyard is gone.

The Bloodline that once echoed in that Courtyard, hundreds of thousands of miles away, are now gone.

But the Xingchen in the Heavenly Realms still remain.

That kind-hearted child is still here.

Having weathered storms and bloodshed, he is no longer the same person he once was, but he remains himself, unchanged.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Yunyue felt as if her heart had been stabbed. The tears she had been holding back earlier burst forth like a torrential downpour, and she was in tears all over her face.

Those who still wanted to offer advice immediately fell silent.

Looking into the young man's gentle and calm eyes, they felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts, realizing that this dazzling Heavenly Prodigy no longer belonged to their Ji Family.

When the young man went up the mountain, he claimed his surname was Ji, which led to him being rejected and despised by countless people.

Now that he's gone, everyone wants him to take up the surname again, but they've discovered with despair that it's impossible.

"Gentlemen, farewell."

Li Hao cupped his hands slightly and said, "The green hills remain unchanged, the sun and moon shine forever; we'll meet again!"

Having said that, he glanced at Ji Daoxin and said, "I would like to trouble you, senior, to open Secret Realm for me."

Ji Daoxin remained silent. He knew that things had come to this point and there was no way to undo the damage. A broken mirror cannot be mended, and mistakes cannot be made up for.

Just like the wind today, no matter how strong it blows, it can't blow us back to yesterday.

"Child, the Ji Family will always be open to you. Even if you no longer wish to be a Ji Family, you will always be welcome whenever you come."

Ji Daoxin gazed intently at Li Hao and said, word by word, "If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, simply write a letter, and the Ji Family will certainly do everything in its power to help you!"

Li Hao simply smiled slightly and didn't reply.

The other party was the Family Head of the Ten-Thousand-Year Aristocratic Clan; his words were both affectionate and cunning.

Seeing the boy's clear, bright, yet mature eyes, Ji Daoxin knew he couldn't treat him like an ordinary boy. His words did indeed have the implication of cutting his losses in time.

After Future, Heavenly Prodigy like Li Hao is destined to become a renowned figure in the Great Wilderness. Even if he is not Ji Family, it is impossible for them to become enemies. Even if he is treated as a retainer of the Ji Family or befriended, it is worth the effort.

"Child, let me clear the way for you and see you off on your journey."

Ji Daoxin said he would personally see them off.

Such a grand reception would only be given to the War God upon his return from a campaign, or to him upon his departure from a campaign.

The news of Li Hao's resurrection and return quickly spread throughout the Ji Family, and many people rushed over, including those Heavenly Prodigy.

Accompanied by Ji Daoxin, Ji Tianchao, and others, the young man walked side by side with them down the mountain.

The rest of the group followed in a large procession, many still calling out in sorrow to persuade the boy to stay, but the boy's back remained steadfast.

When they heard that Li Hao had severed the Ji Family Bloodline and was about to leave the Ji Family, the many Ji Family who had rushed over from the Mountain Summit to the mountainside and even to the foot of the mountain were shocked and anxiously called out, begging the young man to stay.

These sorrowful or urgent cries echoed from the Mountain Summit to the foot of the mountain, accompanying the boy all the way, but he never looked back.

Countless Ji Family watched that departing figure with sorrow and despair, feeling as if the sky had fallen, their joy and excitement from one moment to utter despair at the next.

As Ancient Sacred Clan, they have enjoyed glory for ten thousand years, and they have always been the ones who expel others. But at this moment, they feel abandoned.

"He... is leaving the Ji Family?"

Ji Xuanshen also rushed over. From a distance, he heard countless discussions on the mountain and understood what had happened from afar. He was stunned.

The next moment, he suddenly accelerated, descending like a comet, landing in front of Li Hao and the others who were coming down the mountain.

Ji Xuanshen watched as the Family Head, Ji Tianchao, Ji Qingyuan, and other War God all escorted the young man all the way. He felt incredulous and somewhat furious, not understanding why they didn't desperately try to keep him.

"You're really leaving? You've already obtained the Dao Seed, and I haven't even challenged you yet!"

Ji Xuanshen looked at Li Hao and said Anger.
