Prodigies gathered, names inscribed on the Heavenly Stele

"Since they cannot coexist as one, if the body could be extended, one could cultivate outside the body..."

Li Hao muttered to himself.

The two forces repel each other; if they can be separated and cultivated together, perhaps they can merge.

But how can they be separated?

If an avatar is used, it will still repel the True Form body once the avatar merges with it. Otherwise, all Sage could create avatars. Such a simple method would have been conceived by others, and Old Feng would not have uttered such a conclusion.

"Unless there is an absolute force to block it, or the body can be extended..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and when he mentioned extension, his thoughts suddenly turned to the Qi Meridian he had considered earlier.

The 108 meridians in the body, plus the Yin Yang Dual Meridians, constitute the Extreme Realm Heaven and Earth Meridian.

This is the limit of the physical body, the natural acupoints, but if one can use qi to simulate the Great Meridian and extend the body, then these are Qi Meridian.

If one successfully cultivates their Qi Meridian, they may be able to reach the Second Final Realm.

When strength Unity and both meridians are complete, one has reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

"If only the body could extend like the Qi Meridian..."

Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he immediately realized that he needed to cultivate his Qi Meridian first before he could follow this line of thought. Otherwise, Qi Meridian would just be a theoretical castle in the air, and going too deep into this line of thought would only be a waste of time.

Unable to absorb any more Ultimate Dao, he simply sat cross-legged and focused on refining his Qi Meridian.

Aura inner energy surged through his meridians, Li Hao condensed and controlled it, transforming it into the rudimentary form of Great Meridian. One end connected to the 108 meridians within his body, while the other end extended outwards from his body, like a vortex of swirling energy ribbons.

Soon, Li Hao felt the obstruction.

Simulating the Qi Meridian is not difficult, but maintaining it is.

The Qi Meridian extending out of the body are like rootless duckweed, drifting with the wind. If there is no force to maintain them, they will dissipate and become chaotic in an instant.

However, if one uses force to maintain it, the force absorbed by the Qi Meridian itself can only barely make up for the energy consumed in maintaining it.

"Does this mean we're on the wrong path?"

Li Hao frowned, his eyes flashing.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

When faced with obstacles, find ways to overcome them instead of questioning them, since we haven't reached a dead end yet.

"The Qi Meridian can indeed absorb more power, indicating that this approach is feasible. However, maintaining it is too difficult. If the consumption of maintaining it could be reduced, the number of Qi Meridian condensed could increase, potentially leading to a terrifying qualitative change..."

There is a limit to the number of acupoints in one's body, but there is no limit to the condensation of Qi Meridian!

If there are hundreds or thousands of Qi Meridian, the accumulated amount will be terrifying beyond imagination.

In other words, this approach is very promising, but it cannot be implemented at the moment.

Li Hao then condensed a second and a third Qi Meridian, and with the condensation of seven or eight Qi Meridian, they flowed around his body like ribbons.

Li Hao carefully examined the area, his brows furrowing even deeper.

There's another problem with this Qi Meridian: it's easily severed by enemies during combat.

If you condense hundreds or thousands of them, the enemy will be able to see through them at a glance, and cutting them off would be a waste of effort.

"Extending outside the body will inevitably be detected. How can one avoid being seen and still maintain its own operation...?"

Li Hao's thoughts were churning, and he felt a slight headache.

The Panel can't solve this kind of problem for him.

The Panel can shorten cultivation time, but the insights needed to reach the Extreme Realm can only be gained through one's own efforts.

While Li Hao was comprehending the Qi Meridian, in another Underground Cavern on the battlefield...

Suddenly, the Underground Cavern shook, and several figures leaped out from within.

"Damn it, run!"

"Don't wait for that Beast Tide to return; it would be troublesome if they attacked from both inside and outside."

Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei rushed out first, their faces tense.

The Underground Cavern was teeming with Void Demons, along with some Demon Lords. The cave walls were filled with Void Crystal, which the Void Demons used to create terrifying Void Tide.

Even though they were all Heavenly Prodigy, they could only retreat in the face of this formidable and massive horde of Void Demons.

As they charged out, a shockwave suddenly swept over them, causing their expressions to change. They quickly Return to Emptiness Teleportation, leaping out and narrowly avoiding the attack.

The ground shook, and numerous Void beasts emerged from the Underground Cavern in pursuit. Lin Baichuan immediately led them forward at breakneck speed. After circling around in a large circle, the Void Demons finally stopped, seemingly considering something and not pursuing them too deeply.

"Those beasts retreated."

Lin Baichuan and the others stopped in a Void, all feeling exhausted. The Return to Emptiness Teleportation was comparable to a fierce battle, which greatly consumed their strength. Even with the replenishment from the Heaven and Earth Meridian, they almost couldn't recover.

"Unfortunately, these beasts contain Starfall Source, which are crucial materials for cultivating Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon. I still want to hunt down some more."

"These Demon prefer to travel in groups and don't hunt alone, so it's a bit difficult to kill them."

The group's expressions were rather grim. As Saint Child Heavenly Prodigy, they had been chased so miserably by Demon; if word got out, it would be a disgrace.

"Luckily, those Demon didn't return to their lair in time. Speaking of which, what were those Demon doing in the Lihuo Valley? Did they intend to destroy it to vent their anger?"

Chu Hanwei's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Hearing his words, Lin Baichuan was taken aback, then immediately said, "Let's go take a look."

They determined their direction and sped towards Lihuo Valley.

As they approached, they Dao Hearing a strong stench of blood.

A chill ran through the crowd as they became more vigilant and focused their gaze. As they drew closer, they saw a pool of blood on the ground, littered with numerous fresh corpses.

"These... these Void Demons?"

Seeing the Void Demons slaughtered everywhere, Chu Hanwei was stunned, her beautiful eyes widening slightly in disbelief.

This vast horde of Void Demons had all perished here, their deaths gruesome and bizarre, a sight to behold.

Lin Baichuan and the others were also horrified. They quickly became alert to their surroundings and investigated the cause of death of these Demons. They immediately discovered that they all seemed to have been killed with a single blow, as if an extremely sharp knife had been rapidly cutting through the Demon Tide and killing them all!

"They didn't even have time to scatter; they were slaughtered in a flash!"

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of one of the Saint Child, and his heart pounded.

Lin Baichuan's Primordial Spirit soared, covering a hundred miles in an instant, roaming the Heaven and Earth.

Soon, he saw two figures sitting Mountain Summit the Lihuo Valley a hundred miles away. The bare ground was covered with luxurious soft mats, Go Board, and a full glass of fine wine.

Lin Baichuan's pupils contracted slightly. Could it be...?

He didn't speak, withdrew his Primordial Spirit, and then flew straight towards the Lihuo Valley.

The others also spotted Li Hao and were shocked. They followed Lin Baichuan to the summit of Lihuo Valley.

"Brother Haotian?"

Lin Baichuan saw Li Hao with his eyes closed and legs crossed, and noticed swirling ribbons floating around Li Hao's body, as if he were cultivating something.

Li Hao sensed the movement and immediately contracted his Qi Meridian. At the same time, he discovered that he could not contain his Qi Meridian within his body. Once he contracted it, it would dissipate, and he would have to reconstruct it next time. This was obviously not feasible when facing an enemy, and he needed to prepare in advance because the preparation time was too long.

It seems his line of thinking has many fatal flaws; could it really be that he's on the wrong track?

Opening his eyes, Li Hao saw Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei, along with five others. They were covered in grime, as if they had been through a fierce battle. Some of them had even lost their sleeves, revealing bare arms, as if their arms had been severed but had regenerated.

Seeing that he had disturbed the other party's cultivation, Lin Baichuan showed a hint of apology on his face and said:

"Brother Haotian, we've come to ask if Haotian killed all the Demon on the battlefield a hundred miles away?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised and nodded, saying, "I killed it. Were you all the ones who drove it away? Or did I steal the monster?"

"..."

Lin Baichuan and the others exchanged glances, suddenly realizing how their Master treated Haotian. No wonder he was so polite and doting.

"Brother Haotian actually managed to slay over a thousand Dao Arts Great Demon all by himself..."

A complex look appeared in Lin Baichuan's eyes. He had wanted to Sparring with the other party earlier, but his Master had directly refused on the other party's behalf. It seemed that his Master had realized that his strength was incomparable to that of the other party.

This made him feel a bit aggrieved. He had become a disciple of Sage, and was exceptionally talented from a young age. He was famous throughout several Divine Dynasty and his reputation spread far and wide when he was young.

Even now, within the Thief Heaven Sacred Land, he's considered one of the best, yet he doesn't even have the qualifications to fight his opponent?

"That Void Demons could stir up Void Tide, yet Brother Haotian was able to withstand it. Impressive."

One of the Saint Child came to his senses and couldn't help but say that he had felt a little uncomfortable with this stranger before, after all, he was unworthy of the Thief Saint's favor. But now he was completely convinced.

"Void Tide? I don't know that."

Li Hao was puzzled. Could it be that the distance was too great, and the Demon were killed before they could even launch their attack?

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the others noticed that Li Hao clothes were spotless, not even a speck of dust on them. Despite such a fierce battle, he hadn't shed a single drop of blood, clearly indicating that he had saved plenty of energy.

Chu Hanwei's eyes flickered as she gazed at Li Hao and said, "Brother Haotian, with your abilities, why don't you go to the Heavenly Stele?"

"The Heavenly Stele?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly; Old Feng say the same thing.

In the center of the All Heavens Battlefield, there stands an ancient stele, which is said to be a treasure of the level of Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon Dao Stele.

However, this stele is not a weapon of attack, and it is shrouded in a special restriction, making it impossible to shake or move. Therefore, it remains in this place.

This stele has a magical function: whenever a living being touches it, the stele can test the strength of that life and reveal it on the stele.

When the All Heavens Battlefield opens and armies from all realms come to participate in the battle, they will also see this monument. Some soldiers will also come to this monument to verify their abilities and leave a memento.

At this moment, the battlefield is sealed off, allowing only these geniuses from the Sacred Land Heavenly Prodigy to wander around, making it seem exceptionally empty, but the Heavenly Stele still stands, unchanged since ancient times.

"That's right. With Brother Haotian's abilities, he will surely be able to leave his name on the Heavenly Stele. We originally planned to go back and try it, so why don't we go together and take a look now?"

Lin Baichuan snapped out of his reverie and immediately invited Li Hao with great interest, wanting to compare the differences using the Heavenly Stele.

"With Brother Haotian's strength, perhaps he can leave behind the Purple Light!"

Another Saint Child said that although he didn't see clearly what method Li Hao used to kill this group of demons, it was already extremely difficult for him to fight them alone.

Seeing their warm invitation, Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go take a look."

Having just Ultimate Dao, I'm temporarily unable to absorb anything more, and my Qi Meridian are also stuck in a mental bottleneck. So, I might as well go for a stroll around.

"Those beings from other Heavenly Realms will probably come here to verify things as well. We might encounter them, so be careful."

Chu Hanwei said.

Li Hao and the Hong Yue stood up, gathered up the luxurious soft mats on the ground, and put away the Go Board, table, and wine, before following them to the destination.

Hong Yue followed Li Hao, listening to the Saint Child discuss the Heavenly Stele and their encounters with the Demon in the Underground Cavern.

She was intelligent and discerned something: the Demon that Li Hao had killed with his moves seemed extremely terrifying, and these Saint Child had to avoid their sharp edge.

But Li Hao had just raised his hand to kill them without even glancing at them... Hong Yue's eyes flickered, and she felt more and more that Li Hao was different from others. She wondered what these Saint Child would think if they knew that this young master could kill a group of demons with just a casual gesture.

With a gust of wind howling, half an hour later, they traversed a large battlefield, encountering some Void Demons along the way. However, these Demons did not greet Li Hao and his companions but instead quickly fled.

Unless provoked, they will not easily and rashly attack these Human Race.

They could tell that these creatures were not ordinary soldiers from the chaotic battles of the Heavenly Realms, nor were they prey they could hunt at will.

"Look, that's the Heavenly Stele over there!"

Lin Baichuan suddenly pointed excitedly.

A series of low rumbles of thunder came from afar, and Cloudmist gathered in the sky. At the edge of the horizon, a majestic stone monument stood between Heaven and Earth.

Surrounded by Cloudmist, with lightning and thunder, and the Dao Sound could be heard.

"How magnificent!"

On Li Hao's wrist, Evening Primrose raised her crimson tentacles and exclaimed in amazement.

Hong Yue's eyes widened slightly. This was the Heavenly Stele?

She had come into contact with many princes and Heir, and heard many strange stories from them, including Heavenly Stele famous Heavenly Realms Heir.

Many Heavenly Prodigy vie to leave their names on the monument, hoping to achieve lasting fame. However, since this monument is located in the All Heavens Battlefield, one cannot leave one's name once one reaches the Saint Realm.

Although the princes and Heir had no chance to come here, they were well-informed about these matters. Just as ordinary people like to talk about important matters of the Dynasty, wealthy merchants are only focused on their own private affairs and are too busy to know much about other gossip than ordinary people.

"These days, to have your name recorded on the Heavenly Stele, you need at least Blue Light."

"A Saint Child exclaimed."

"Blue Light?"

Li Hao was puzzled; he hadn't heard Old Feng mention this before.

"That's right, the Heavenly Stele Imprint has six Dao Light, though rumors say there are seven, but none have ever been seen. And the strength of a warrior can be discerned through these six Dao Light."

Chu Hanwei suggested coming here, and then enthusiastically explained to Li Hao, "These six Dao Light are gray, white, green, blue, purple, and gold!"

"Ordinary Dao Law Realm only emit grayish-white light. Those who can overpower most others at the same level can unleash green light. People like us, at the very least, emit Blue Light, with the potential to reach Purple Light."

Li Hao nodded without saying anything.

As he approached, Li Hao immediately felt a powerful Dao Resonance. This Heavenly Stele was like a Sage standing tall, surrounded by the Great Dao, with various strange phenomena appearing.

"Um?"

When Li Hao arrived near the Heavenly Stele, he discovered that there were quite a few figures there.

"They are other exceptional Heavenly Prodigy from all walks of life."

Lin Baichuan and the others' expressions changed slightly. "Those guys from the Lie Heaven Sacred Land said they'd wait for us, but they've come here first."

Li Hao also saw some familiar figures inside, including Lin Qingying. He didn't expect her to be there too.

Besides Lin Qingying, many familiar faces from the Azure Wave Realm were here.

Red Light, Lin Shuhai, Bright Moon Saint Child, and others.

"It's Haotian!"

When Li Hao noticed them, they also sensed Li Hao Aura. When they saw Li Hao arrive, they were all stunned, and their expressions immediately turned serious.

Since Li Hao's battle with the Twin Buddha Child, he has become famous throughout Canglan, and they have all witnessed the gap between themselves and this Prodigy.

"Haotian..."

When Lin Qingying saw Li Hao, she paused for a moment, then flew over and stood in front of Li Hao, biting her lip slightly. "I saw you being taken away by the Thief Saint earlier, were you alright?"

Li Hao nodded, then asked, "Where is that pill?"

Upon hearing his question, a fleeting hint of panic flashed in Lin Qingying's eyes. She replied, "I lost it."

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's lost."

The pill contained a drop of his Divine Blood, a contingency plan he had prepared beforehand. If he were to perish, he could transfer his Dao Thought senses to the Divine Blood within the pill and Blood-Drop Rebirth.

The Divine Blood, when warmed within the elixir, could be preserved for a relatively long time, but it held little significance for him at the moment.

Previously, he had been pursued by the Void Saint and was reduced to only a few drops of Divine Blood. He managed to escape by testing the waters drop by drop, while the other drops of Divine Blood had already vanished in the Void.

After all, even Divine Blood is constantly eroded by the Void Power Void, and being able to endure for ten years is already the limit.

If one does not reach the Terminal Realm, but remains merely mortal, their blood will be wiped away in an instant.

However, having survived this ordeal, Li Hao intends to retain two drops of Divine Blood from Old Feng.

Although the removal of Divine Blood would reduce his own power, the loss would be minimal, and it would actually leave him a way out.

This is the true charm of the Power Circulation Final Realm; combined with the Three Immortalities Extreme Realm, it can be considered true Undying and Imperishable in a certain sense.

Who is this?

Lin Baichuan and the others sized up Lin Qingying. Seeing her extraordinary figure and Unparalleled beauty, they assumed she was Saintess from some Sacred Land and possessed immense strength, which surprised them.

"Friend."

Li Hao said to Lin Qingying, "These are friends from the Thief Heaven Sacred Land."

Lin Qingying's eyes initially lit up with a smile upon hearing Li Hao's words, but the smile quickly faded when she heard Li Hao consider the people beside him as friends. She nodded slightly and said to them:

"The Thief Heaven Sacred Land, I have long heard of its great name."

Who are you?

"Sword Ancestor Sacred Land"

I've heard so much about you.

They exchanged a few dry pleasantries, both realizing they would be competing against each other in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, so they didn't say much more.

"Are you here to leave your name on the Heavenly Ranking?"

Lin Qingying looked at Li Hao again, her eyes shining as if to encourage Li Hao, and said:

"With your abilities, you should be able to leave behind Golden Name!"

Upon hearing her words, Red Light, Lin Shuhai, and the others' expressions changed slightly, but they remained silent.

They agreed with this statement to some extent.

They had come here to take the test before. Red Light and Lin Shuhai both left Purple Name, as did Bright Moon Saint Child. But if they were ranked below these two, and even they were Purple Light, then Haotian would most likely be golden, and the Twin Buddha Child would probably be the same.

"By the way, I heard that the Twin Buddha Child were resurrected using the Sarira and will participate in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle. They are currently in Seclusion in the Buddhist Sect Sacred Land."

Lin Qingying suddenly thought of something and said to Li Hao solemnly.
