Ink Drop Suppression, Enlightenment

Li Hao immediately picked up his brush and buried himself in painting.

Soon, another figure was added to the Portrait of the Heavenly Stele Heroes: the Azure Deer King appeared in the painting. The people in the painting made way for him, all showing him respect.

After finishing the drawing, Li Hao also saw the experience points displayed: a whopping 55,000!

It should be noted that Azure Sea Great Emperor, as Half-Saint, only had a little over 40,000 experience points.

This means that the young man in front of them has a strong suppressive power against even Half-Saint, and could even easily win!

Among Heavenly Realms, to reach such a level is probably to be among the top of the Prodigy, no wonder countless Heavenly Prodigy Saint Child are in awe and avoid him.

The Azure Deer King glanced at Li Hao, then turned and flew towards the Heavenly Stele.

The noble maids accompanying him stopped in their tracks; these maids were all at the Dao Inquiry Realm.

Amidst the Thunder and Lightning outside the Heavenly Stele, the Azure Deer King arrived before it and raised his hand to leave his name.

"Will the Azure Deer King make his mark once more?"

"Ten years ago, he Two Flashes of Golden Light; he must be even more terrifying now!"

"I can actually leave my name again?"

"Anyone below the level of Sage can leave their name again within a thousand years."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all staring intently at the figure in Azure.

But then, lightning gathered in the palm of the Azure Deer King, gradually becoming brighter, with countless Silver Threads of lightning intertwining and flashing.

At the same time, at the summit of the Heavenly Stele, a golden light slowly condensed, then flashed twice in succession!

After the light flashed, it quietly fell silent.

When everyone came to their senses, they were both surprised and taken aback.

I thought that with the Azure Deer King leaving his mark again, it might Three Flashes of Golden Light, perhaps even reaching a new level, and maybe even triggering that dazzling crimson Blood Light. But instead, it only Two Flashes of Golden Light?

The Azure Deer King was somewhat surprised by the result. He frowned slightly, then seemed to realize something, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

It seems Master was right; the Heavenly Stele can only detect the physical body and cultivation level, but not the techniques and Dao Realm!

As for practical experience, that's not even a consideration.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Supreme Heaven Pride Battle; everyone could simply come here to verify their abilities and determine who is superior.

Over the past decade, his skills have become increasingly refined, his Dao Realm has deepened, and although his Extreme Realm has not increased, his combat strength has improved significantly as he has roamed several Forbidden Zone.

Seeing that the Heavenly Stele could not verify the result, he shook his head slightly and flew back into the crowd.

"Your Highness."

Several maids quickly surrounded her, their voices soft and sweet.

Azure Deer King was born into the Imperial Family of a Divine Dynasty. He had no interest in imperial power since childhood, but devoted himself to martial Martial Dao. After studying under Famed Master in Sacred Land, he became an Easy Duty prince.

Although he was a prince, even the emperor and his brother in the Divine Dynasty had to treat him with utmost respect and deference.

He could sit on the dragon throne and enter the harem whenever he wanted; though not an emperor, he was above emperors.

The Azure Deer King ignored the maid beside him and focused his gaze on the boy not far away. Seeing that the boy was engrossed in painting and seemed not to care about his performance at all, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

His Blood Characters, suppressing Heavenly Realms; he disliked anyone being above him.

But without a doubt, this young man's physical body and cultivation level are also extremely terrifying.

"Go and inform him; I want to Sparring with him."

The Azure Deer King gave instructions to a woman beside him.

The maid was beautiful and obediently agreed upon hearing this, then gracefully approached Li Hao.

"Young master, my lord wishes to Sparring with you. Please grant him this favor."

The maidservant said with a smile.

Li Hao was engrossed in his painting. Hearing this, he didn't even look up and replied, "I'm busy."

The maid's smile froze slightly, then she whispered, "My lord is the Azure Deer King, the Saint Child of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land in the Universe Realm. Young master, do not jeopardize your life."

Compared to the previous polite invitation, this statement carried a hint of threat.

Li Hao didn't respond. Hongyue, who was grinding Hong Yue for Li Hao, noticed that Li Hao was focused on painting and had no time to be distracted, so she said:

"My young master is busy. Please leave."

The maid's expression changed slightly. If she failed to fulfill the task entrusted to her by the Azure Deer King, she would surely face dire consequences. Seeing Hong Yue interrupt, her pretty face turned cold, and she said:

"Who do you think you are? A mere maidservant from the Fifteen Li Realm region, who gave you the right to speak!"

With a shout containing a trace of the power of Principle, Hong Yue felt her pupils shrink as countless black shadows suddenly surged into her vision, giving her a fear as if a large amount of seawater had rushed into her lungs, making her feel like she was about to suffocate.

She felt as if her consciousness was about to split apart, filled with fear and dread, as if she were being torn apart.

"Snort!"

Suddenly, a cold snort rang out, bringing Hong Yue back to reality.

The countless black shadows that seemed like illusions vanished before her eyes. Hong Yue gasped for breath, but her face was deathly pale, and fear was evident in her eyes as she looked at the maid before her.

"A mere maidservant, who gave you the audacity to swagger around like that!"

Li Hao stopped writing, his eyes turning cold as he looked at the maid.

A sharp glint appeared in his eyes. When the maid saw Li Hao's gaze, she suddenly felt a bright light flash before her eyes, and her Dao Thought was as if it had been severed, including her pupils and throat, which were all cut off!

The feeling of death enveloped her instantly. She opened her mouth slightly, her face deathly pale, and despair filled her eyes, as if she wanted to cry for help, but her throat had been slit and she could not make a sound.

"Heh, what kind of skill is it to bully servants?"

At this moment, a gentle and calm voice came, and the Azure Deer King walked over.

Li Hao turned his gaze away from the maid, glanced at the Azure Deer King upon hearing this, and, too lazy to argue that the maid had started the argument, said, "Don't come here looking for trouble."

As his gaze shifted away, the maid felt as if her slit throat could speak again. She felt like she was choking after suffocating, and made vomiting sounds. She then came to her senses, and her face immediately turned pale.

With just one glance, she felt a deathly threat; this boy was truly terrifying!

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Deer King smiled, but his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You must be Haotian. Do you think that by leaving your name above all others, you can overpower Heavenly Realms? If you truly have such confidence, why not have a Sparring with me and let me test your strength!"

Seeing the two arguing, many eyes turned to them, all showing surprise and interest.

"The Azure Deer King and Haotian are about to clash; could they be about to fight here prematurely?"

"These two are both potential top-three contenders in the Heavenly Realms. Does this count as watching the final battle ahead of time?"

"However, the Azure Deer King was somewhat unwise. Haotian was able to unleash Blood Characters of unparalleled power, while he only managed Two Flashes of Golden Light. The difference was too great."

"While there is a difference in the level of recognition, it's not an absolute difference. The Heavenly Stele doesn't reveal technique or Dao Realm. Ten years ago, the Azure Deer King only had Two Flashes of Golden Light; now, his technique and Dao Realm must be even deeper."

"The Azure Deer King's move may be to assess Haotian's true strength before the battle of Heavenly Prodigy Supreme prodigies begins."

A chorus of voices arose from the surrounding area.

Red Light, Lin Shuhai, and the others were also surprised, and their eyes flashed when they saw the two about to clash.

They didn't know the Azure Deer King, and although they weren't particularly close to Li Hao either, Li Hao was from the Azure Wave Realm, so deep down they still hoped Li Hao could win.

Upon hearing the Azure Deer King's words, Li Hao's coldness subsided, and he said indifferently, "You are not qualified to judge me."

The Azure Deer King couldn't help but laugh, "Do you really think that just because you left your Blood Characters, you can look down on the world? Since you think I'm not worthy, why don't you try? Or are you just all talk?"

Li Hao didn't take the act of leaving his name too seriously, but hearing the other party repeatedly use the Blood Characters, seemingly out of jealousy, he laughed instead and said:

"If you're so capable, why don't you Blood Characters?"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Deer King's smile vanished, replaced by a feeling of having swallowed a fly.

"No wonder you're a lowly commoner from the lower realm. Did you really think the Heavenly Stele represented absolute combat power? It's just Blood Characters. Within a thousand years, I will surely leave my name again, and ascend to the top with Blood Characters!"

The Azure Deer King spoke coldly, and his words caused an uproar among the crowd.

After all, this is a public statement, and if one fails to do so, it will inevitably become a laughing stock in the future.

"Let's talk about that when you can leave your Blood Characters."

Li Hao glanced at him, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

The Azure Deer King nearly choked with anger, his face gradually turning red as he clenched his fists. "Very well, then let me test just how powerful the Blood Characters really is!"

Seeing that Li Hao was about to pick up his brush to paint again, he suddenly made a move, and a beam of Azure Radiance stabbed towards Li Hao's painting paper, intending to tear it apart.

Li Hao's indifferent expression suddenly turned cold.

"You're asking for it!"

Li Hao looked up at the other party, his sharp eyes piercing through the azure light.

Then he suddenly raised his hand, and the tip of his brush swept across the ink, which contained the power of the Dao Domain.

Eternal Dao Domain!

Bang!

The Dao Domain appeared in an instant and suddenly suppressed everything.

The Azure Deer King was well-prepared and also activated his Dao Domain, which consisted of Hundredfold Dao Domain. He also had a method for cultivating Dao Domain, which allowed him to condense the Hundredfold Dao Domain into a special Dao Domain, within which a Heaven and Earth appeared and many wonders were revealed.

Dao Domain cultivation methods are extremely rare in the world, possessed only by top-tier forces, but no matter what kind of Dao Domain Cultivation Method is, none can compare to the Eternal Dao Domain!

This is the Extreme Realm; any Dao Domain Cultivation Method is merely a clumsy imitation of it.

In the blink of an eye, the Azure Deer King's Universe Dao Domain shattered, and a vast power pressed down.

With a loud bang, the Azure Deer King felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out blood. That drop of ink was as heavy as ten thousand jin, and the Eternal Dao Domain was condensed with it, suppressing him.

He staggered backward, his skin cracking rapidly as if scorched.

You must understand that once you fall into the enemy's Dao Domain, you are like a fish on a chopping board, completely at their mercy.

The Azure Deer King's azure hair flew wildly, and his Robe shone with a dazzling azure Azure Radiance, revealing them to be a Supreme Treasure Robe, used to shield him from the Sword Shadow Law of the Dao Domain.

At the same time, a huge phantom of a Giant Deer appeared behind him. It was some kind of ancient Bloodline, extremely mysterious. The Giant Deer opened its eyes and shot out two beams of Azure Radiance.

The Azure Radiance, like the power of some Great Dao, contained destructive power comparable to the level of Technique Dao Entry, and shot towards Li Hao's Dao Domain.

However, he still underestimated the power of the Eternal Dao Domain. He had only Technique Dao Entry, and he was no match for the Eternal Dao Domain!

My Heart Reaches Heaven!

The Azure Deer King suddenly roared, and Azure veins and cracks appeared all over its body. Its skin collapsed, unleashing a multitude of the Extreme Realm powers.

At the same time, he also displayed the Saint Dao Seed.

This is the power of Half-Saint, which he is now unleashing at its fullest extent to break through Li Hao's Dao Domain and carve out a path!

But Li Hao remained indifferent, sitting there like a high and mighty god, without moving an inch, while the power of the Dao Domain on the ink suddenly intensified.

Bang!

The Dao Domain's suppression also crushed his Sacred Dao, which he had vowed to reach the heavens.

The ground cracked and trembled violently. The Azure Deer King was completely suppressed by the Eternal Dao Domain. That drop of ink was like ten thousand mountains, condensing behind him and pressing him to the ground.

"Your Highness!"

The surrounding maids were all horrified and cried out in alarm.

At the same time, the power of the Dao Domain extended, suppressing these maids and rendering them unable to move.

The Giant Deer phenomenon behind the Azure Deer King vanished, leaving him prostrate on the ground with a grim expression. The precious light emanating from his Robe dimmed, completely suppressed by the Principle of the Dao Domain.

The anticipated battle did not materialize. Everyone was stunned as they watched the Azure Deer King being suppressed and unable to move in the blink of an eye, and then stared in astonishment at the scene.

The young man sat calmly, and with a single stroke of his brush, he suppressed the Azure Deer King!

The ink droplet suspended above his head spun rapidly, but everyone could see that the boy had concentrated his power into this external object to suppress the Azure Deer King.

"This, this..."

"The Azure Deer King's Universe Dao Domain shattered in the blink of an eye."

"Is this the Eternal Dao Domain? The legendary Eighth Extreme Realm!"

"My god, I heard that you need to cultivate 360 levels of Dao Domain to condense it, and even at the Extreme Realm condensation, it seems you need other insights. It's incredibly difficult!"

"To be able to participate in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, with only a hundred years of cultivation, and to condense 360 layers of Dao Domain in such a short time?!"

The people gathered near the Heavenly Stele watched this scene in awe.

Although rumors were rampant that Haotian possessed eight Extreme Realm, they had only heard of the Eternal Dao Domain; apart from Red Light and others from the Azure Wave Realm, no one had actually seen it with their own eyes.

Seeing Li Hao's display now, I realized just how terrifying the Eighth Extreme Realm truly is!

The power of the Dao Domain alone was enough to suppress the Azure Deer King. If other Extreme Realm Power were used, it would only become stronger!

"In that Projection Stone, the opponent suppressed numerous Half-Saint with his Dao Domain; this is the power of the Eighth Extreme Realm..."

Among the crowd, some who had seen the Projection Stone revealed a deep light in their eyes, filled with shock and fervor, and the thought arose in their hearts that they must cultivate to the Eighth Extreme Realm in this lifetime.

Given enough time, it's not impossible to achieve it within one's lifetime.

Even if it takes ten years to cultivate one level of Dao Domain, it should take 3600 years to cultivate to the point where one can achieve it.

"Aside from those old Saint Child, this person is probably invincible among the younger generation!"

Someone whispered.

"Don't jump to conclusions too quickly. There are still a few who haven't competed in a long time, and they're all participating in this battle, so they're bound to improve significantly."

"That's right, those individuals are all disciples of the Supreme Saint Sage, and they themselves are reincarnations of Sage."

When those individuals were mentioned, their expressions became much more serious.

Although the Azure Deer King was also a disciple of the Supreme Saint, and the Primal Chaos Sacred Land was Supreme Saint land, he himself did not seem to be a reincarnation of Sage, which was why the Azure Deer King had such high aspirations.

He considered himself invincible, except perhaps for those reincarnated Sage!

But at this moment, he was suppressed by Li Hao with a single move, his eyes turning bloodshot and filled with killing intent.

Since you enjoy making a fool of yourself, then so be it.

After suppressing the Azure Deer King, Li Hao did not stop there. Since he had provoked him, there was no reason to let it go after defeating him.

He stood up and walked towards the Azure Deer King.

A flash of shock and anger appeared in the Azure Deer King's eyes. "What are you trying to do?"

Chill ran through him. This was the All Heavens Battlefield, where even Sage could not be present. If the other party truly intended to kill him, even if his Master's Sect or Sacred Land avenged him afterward, and his Master intervened on his behalf, that was a matter for later. At least for now, he was certain to die.

But he couldn't believe that Li Hao would be so crazy as to risk his life for another!

Li Hao truly had no intention of killing him. There was no need to provoke a Supreme Saint for a defeated opponent who could be easily defeated.

He walked up to the Azure Deer King, turned around, and plopped down on its back.

"Your health is quite good; it's more comfortable than my soft mat."

As Li Hao spoke, he said to Hong Yun and Evening Primrose, "Bring me brushes, ink, and paper; I'll paint here."

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, everyone stared at him in utter astonishment, as if they had seen a ghost.

Using the Azure Deer King as a chair, and actually sitting directly under its buttocks?

The Azure Deer King was so enraged that his brain was about to explode. He roared, "How dare you humiliate me like this? Do you want to die? I will never forgive you!"

"Shut up, slap yourself."

Li Hao spoke calmly, and the air seemed to freeze into a whip, suddenly lashing the Azure Deer King's face.

He was so angry that he screamed and became even more frantic.

He had never suffered such humiliation since childhood. Even his elder brother, who had ascended the throne and ruled the Divine Dynasty, had to be respectful and courteous in his presence.

"You!"

Azure Deer King was furious. Being humiliated in public like this, he wished he could peel off his face and bury his head in the ground.

But soon he regained his senses, suppressing his emotions. Gritting his teeth, his eyes reddening, he Dark Dao himself, "You're dead, you're dead! I will kill you after today!!"

His mind was filled with such crazy thoughts, but he kept his composure and didn't utter any more harsh words to Li Hao. If the other party dared to humiliate him like this and provoked him to kill, he would be at a great loss.

After the Azure Deer King fell silent, the people nearby looked at the boy sitting on the Azure Deer King's back, and their expressions changed.

What a ruthless character! Using the Azure Deer King as a stool—is this the kind of power that allows someone to leave behind Blood Characters?

"The Eight Extreme Realm is so powerful! Even Half-Saint like the Azure Deer King is no match for them!"

"Ten years Past, Azure Deer King to the Half-Saint, yet he was easily suppressed. This is terrifying."

"Such humiliation has forged a blood feud between them. If these two become saints in the future, they will likely fight each other again. But Sage are difficult to kill, so it's likely that battles will break out every day."

Many people were shocked; this peerless Prodigy indeed acted with complete impunity.

If it were someone else, they would at least have to consider the Master's Sect behind the Azure Deer King and that Supreme Saint, and would not dare to insult him like that.

Red Light remained silent for a moment.

Then I thought to myself, I should stay away from this guy in the future.

Previously in the Buddhist Sect, he dared to trample on the Saint Child, but now, in front of the Heavenly Prodigy of all realms, he sits astride the Azure Deer King. This is a direct Supreme Saint Disciple. Although the other party provoked him first, Li Hao's daring to retaliate so fiercely is truly audacious and terrifying.

Lin Shuhai glanced at him silently, then looked away and sighed softly. He felt that the gap between himself and this young man seemed to be widening.

Seeing Li Hao sitting upright, still painting with a normal expression, seemingly unaffected, Lin Qingying had no intention of persuading him. Although she was concerned about the Sacred Land behind the Azure Deer King, it was the other Master's Sect who had provoked her first. If the sect were to be reasonable, it should have taught the Azure Deer King a lesson.

However, thinking of how her Dao Embryo was destroyed in public within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, she fell silent again.

In this world, among the many truly powerful people, how many are truly reasonable?

If reason prevails, every step will be fraught with difficulties; how can one possibly reach the highest point?

She suddenly felt a little bored, sighed, and transmitted her voice to Li Hao:

"This Azure Deer King is backed by the Primal Chaos Sacred Land, and his Master might seek revenge for him. You must be careful."

Li Hao paused writing slightly, glanced at her, and noticed a hint of worry in the woman's eyes.

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's alright. We can't just be submissive and meek when we're bullied because we're afraid of death. Even if you reason with some people, their Killing Aura and resentment will only intensify because they have nowhere to vent."

Lin Qingying remained silent and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, it's a waste of time to worry about something like this."

Li Hao smiled, not wanting her to worry too much about his affairs. He suggested she use that energy to cultivate and improve her spiritual practice.

In this life, how can we avoid getting caught up in the dust of the world?

The mountain does not tolerate dust.

High mountains never shy away from dust, and that is why they are high mountains.

Hearing Li Hao's words of comfort, Lin Qingying slowly smiled and nodded.

Sitting on the back of the Azure Deer King, Li Hao also focused on painting.

His Painting Dao experience was improving rapidly. At the same time, he also painted the Azure Deer King he was riding into the scroll. Although his experience was diminished in the second painting, it was still more than 40,000.

However, in this second painting, the Azure Deer King is no longer the one that people avoid and revere, but rather one that is prostrate on the ground, looking disheveled.

While Li Hao was quietly painting, there were whispers in the room, but many of the gazes directed at Li Hao were filled with apprehension, and the voices subconsciously became much quieter when Li Hao was mentioned.

"Sir, you've been sitting long enough. The Azure Deer King only wanted to Sparring with you; why are you humiliating him like this?"

After Li Hao finished his second painting, his experience was nearly complete. Several tall figures stepped out from the crowd and came to stand in front of Li Hao.

The leader was a young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a straight posture. His eyes were cold, but he slightly toned down his usual indifference and frowned as he spoke to Li Hao.

Li Hao raised his head slightly and asked, "Who are you?"

"Zhao Feixing the Primal Chaos Sacred Land!"

The young man cupped his hands in greeting, but his expression remained indifferent.

"You're here to reason?"

Li Hao asked.

Zhao Feixing said coldly, "Everything comes down to reason."

Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "He wanted to Sparring with me, but I refused. He then attacked me directly. What kind of behavior is that?"

Zhao Feixing was slightly taken aback, her expression changing slightly. "The Azure Deer King enjoys sparring and Sparring with others; he means no harm."

Li Hao asked, "What category does this behavior fall under?"

Zhao Feixing remained silent.

Li Hao didn't even bother to lift his eyelids again, and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then don't bother me. Reasoning? Ha."

Some people consider themselves reasonable, but in reality, they only resort to reason when they feel powerless.

"Even the Azure Deer King Supreme Saint Sect, your attitude suggests you don't take my Primal Chaos Sacred Land seriously."

After a long silence, Zhao Feixing took a deep breath, her face darkening, and her tone carrying a clear threat.

Li Hao knew that the other party had torn off that hypocritical facade. He sneered slightly, too lazy to waste words. It would be a waste to say another word to this kind of person.

"Get down!"

With a soft shout, his Dao Domain suddenly expanded, and with a boom, it struck the three of them.

Zhao Feixing's expression changed drastically, and she exclaimed in shock and anger, "How dare you!"

Even a town is still a town, so Li Hao naturally dared to act this way. It wasn't that he was intentionally arrogant; it's just that some people, even if you treat them politely, will still attack you if they don't like you.

First try diplomacy, then resort to force; once the troops are deployed, the general will surely die!

Bang bang bang!

Three muffled groans rang out, the ground cracked open, and Zhao Feixing and the other two Saint Child were also pressed to the ground, unable to move.

"We are from the Primal Chaos Sacred Land..." Another Saint Child beside him said with resentment in his eyes, his eyes concealing murderous intent.

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden burst of Sword Qi shot out, piercing his mouth and tearing his tongue apart.

Li Hao didn't even turn his head and continued with his own business.

Seeing three more people lying down beside Li Hao, everyone in the distance knew that there would be a great show when the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle took place. The Primal Chaos Sacred Land had lost face and would definitely try to get back at him.

Right or wrong, nobody cares; if you lose face, you'll have to pay with your blood!

"His name is inscribed on the Heavenly Stele, suppressing the direct Supreme Saint Disciple of Huntian —this man is utterly insane!"

"I dared to kick the Imperial Family and forcibly seize Princess even within the Divine Dynasty, but that was because my backer was the Sacred Land, and Sage. Who is his backer?"

"I heard that the Thief Saint has a close relationship with him."

"The Thief Saint? What's that? In the face of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land, unless another Supreme Saint steps in..."

"It's just Sparring between juniors; Supreme Saint wouldn't necessarily intervene personally. Many years ago, the Dragon Clan's Saint Child even killed the Huntian Saint Child, and we didn't see their Master make a move."

"The Azure Deer King went to provoke us first, and in my opinion, he deserved it."

"I thought I was arrogant enough, but I never expected there would be someone even more arrogant than me."

Many people are talking about it.

Li Hao finished his third painting, and his experience points were finally full.

Next, all you need to do is comprehend the Painting Dao State of Mind, and you will transcend the mortal realm, reach the Tenth Dan, and Sage Entry!

Li Hao stopped painting, putting his brush and ink into the Heaven and Earth Space, and then stretched.

The surrounding chatter reached Li Hao's ears. He heard it, but shook his head slightly. There are only two paths to a peaceful life: the first is to become stronger, and the second is to learn to be humble.

But no matter which path you choose, it cannot be said to be absolutely safe.

After all, many strong people are killed, and they may provoke even stronger people.

If you always bow your head and give way, you'll also encounter people who take advantage of you.

As for stability, just let things take their course.

Sage cannot enter this All Heavens Battlefield. If all else fails, Li Hao will have no choice but to abandon the Incense for the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle.

Thinking of all this, Li Hao looked at the Azure Deer King beneath him, smiled slightly, and said, "You'll stay with me for the time being."

The Azure Deer King was slightly taken aback, his expression changing drastically. "What do you want to do?"

Li Hao ignored him, only looking at Lin Qingying, and said, "I'm going to wander around. You should also focus on your cultivation. We'll meet again sometime."

Lin Qingying nodded and whispered, "Be careful."

Li Hao glanced at Lin Baichuan and the others in the crowd. He held a rather favorable impression of Old Feng's Personal Disciple, considering them as family. He immediately transmitted his voice, saying, "I'll take a stroll around. Farewell."

Lin Baichuan and the others had complicated expressions. Li Hao's performance had shocked them too much, but now that he had provoked the Primal Chaos Sacred Land, even their Master couldn't cover it up.

After saying goodbye to his acquaintances, Li Hao put Evening Primrose back on his wrist, then released a burst of power to put Hong Yue on his wrist.

At the same time, he said to the seated Azure Deer King, "If you don't want to embarrass yourself here, then leave and follow my instructions."

The Azure Deer King looked ashamed and indignant. Was Li Hao using him as a mount?

He is Heaven's Pride, a Human Race!

But Li Hao's words tempted him. He wasn't afraid that Li Hao would find a secluded place to kill him. After all, if something happened to him, regardless of whether it was Li Hao or not, it would be attributed to him. There were countless eyes watching, and Li Hao couldn't escape.

With a somber face, he carried Li Hao on his back and, guided by Li Hao's telepathic message, flew towards the Heavenly Stele, leaving the crowd gathered outside the Heavenly Stele.

Once they were away from the vicinity of the Heavenly Stele, Li Hao casually pointed out the direction and guided the Azure Deer King forward.

He didn't have any particular purpose; he just wanted to wander around. He wasn't familiar with this All Heavens Battlefield.

Many people were speechless when they saw the Azure Deer King carrying Li Hao away. The other party had been completely controlled by Haotian. He had arrived riding in Dragon Carriage, extremely noble, but now he had become a defeated opponent, a mount, and was ridden away by someone else.

This news spread quickly, reaching even the Primal Chaos Sacred Land.

Amidst the uproar across the land, Li Hao, riding the Azure Deer King, arrived at a Lone Peak.

Let's take a break here.

This place is far from the Heavenly Stele. Some people along the way wanted to follow, but they were frightened away by the Sword Qi that Li Hao casually swung and did not dare to pursue.

"The Painting Dao..."

Li Hao sat on the back of the Azure Deer King, but his thoughts turned to the Painting Dao.

All that's missing is understanding State of Mind.

His thoughts returned to the Dao Sound Red Bell in his sea of consciousness.

I had sensed earlier that the crimson bell could continue to vibrate.

At that moment, he gently touched it with his mind, and the red bell immediately began to ring again, resonating with waves of Dao Sound.

This Dao Sound drew Li Hao's thoughts into a turbulent flow, as if countless Flash of Insight were gathering around him, and the Daoist Dao Resonance of the Heavenly Circuit was also converging on him.

Hong Yue could not sense Dao Resonance; she only felt that Li Hao's body had become ethereal and otherworldly, as if he were an immortal who might fly away on a cloud at any moment.

The Azure Deer King, beneath Li Hao, felt this deeply, its eyes widening in surprise—was this an epiphany?!

He simply sat there, and suddenly he had an epiphany?!

He was somewhat taken aback, incredulous.

However, the Dao Resonance gathered around Li Hao was genuine.

A surge of Anger welled up inside him, and he even wondered if it was because he had kept the other person in the dark that their thoughts had shifted, leading to their sudden realization.

Li Hao felt his thoughts surging, and immediately seized the opportunity to focus his mind on his insights into the Painting Dao.

Numerous memories of Painting Dao resurfaced in my mind, along with the paintings I had casually created.

This includes the paintings he discussed with Zhan Tan over the past few months, the scroll he just painted in Heavenly Stele, and the Heaven Pride Painting within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land...

Li Hao calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and pondered deeply.

For a long, long time.

Li Hao opened his eyes again, and the surrounding Dao Resonance gradually dissipated, as did the countless gathered Flash of Insight.

Li Hao has a deeper understanding of the Painting Dao, but it seems he hasn't yet grasped the Dao Heart Realm involved.

The enlightenment brought by the Dao Sound Red Bell was slightly inferior to the enlightenment of nature, but this time, the thoughts still gave Li Hao a very profound understanding.

Painting is not merely about brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones; it is not merely about outward appearance and spirit.

It's easy to paint the skin and bones, but difficult to Painting Heart.

Previously, he had only reached the level of drawing bones, and had not yet truly touched the heart.

Li Hao let out a soft breath, feeling somewhat weary. He rubbed his temples to soothe his mind.

Countless Starlight shone down overhead, dazzling and breathtakingly beautiful.

Li Hao's mood immediately improved.

He looked up at the starry Xingchen and felt Starry Sky vastness.

This All Heavens Battlefield is located above the Thirty-Three Realms and is extremely close to the Xingchen of the Heavenly Realms.

Looking at them from afar, one can almost see the mottled pits on these Xingchen.

"What a beautiful view..."

Li Hao muttered to himself, when suddenly, his eyes flickered and a flash of Flash of Insight struck him.
