Law of Heaven and Earth, Cultivating Three Saints Together
[Poetry and Literature Experience +18928]
As his experience in Poetry and Literature improved, Li Hao's Poetry and Books Dao rose from Fifth Dan to level six.
"Nothingness, the beginning of All Things..."
[Poetry and Literature Experience +16823]
Li Hao muttered to himself, thinking of Lin Qingying's Sword Dao, the swordsmanship No-Sword Dao.
At first, his understanding of this Sword Dao was only superficial, but now he has a feeling of complete mastery.
With a wave of his hand, Sword Qi gathered in Li Hao's palm, swirling and coiling like a hole, numerous in number, like a miniature Sword Qi hurricane.
But as the Dao Thought gradually flowed in, the hurricane-like Sword Qi gradually dissipated, spreading from a tiny hurricane to the entire sky.
A single Sword Qi can only sever a wisp of Qing Feng.
With a wave of his hand, he can cleave the Heaven and Earth, and cleave the sun, moon, All Things!
With no sword in hand and no sword in heart, the Heaven and Earth itself is a sword, yet it is not a sword.
Li Hao suddenly realized the true meaning of the swordless sword. With this sword alone, he seemed to have transcended and was able to touch the bottleneck of the Path of Sacrifice!
However, this was the Sword Dao that Li Hao passed on to Lin Qingying, not his Sword Dao. Nevertheless, the true essence of this Sword Dao was also integrated into the "Sole Self Sword Dao," making this Sword Dao even more powerful than before.
As Li Hao's thoughts settled, the aura of the Great Dao surrounding him gradually contracted, like clouds Falling Leaves, draping over Li Hao and making him appear as if he were sitting in the starry universe, at the center of Heaven and Earth, exuding nobility and majesty.
Seeing that Li Hao's eyes had regained their clarity, Feng Boping stepped forward and smiled:
"Judging from your recent enlightenment, you've made a breakthrough in the Sacred Dao?"
"Um."
Li Hao nodded. That Dao Scripture expressed many of his insights. Combined with his own understanding of the Sacred Dao, his Sacred Dao of Sainthood had been refined to a level that even he found terrifying, and he had already touched upon the traces of the Dao of Heavenly Dao!
Although he did not suffer any calamities, his Sacred Dao was formed on its own, and in terms of Sacred Dao alone, it was even more terrifying than his current physical body!
"It's time to go and settle accounts with that Buddhist Sect and the Void Saint '."
Li Hao said.
Upon hearing this, Feng Boping pondered and said, "There's no rush. Your Sacred Dao has only just been stabilized. You should cultivate more. Besides, there are other Sage in the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land. The Green Lantern Buddha of the Buddhist Sect is unfathomable and will definitely not sit idly by while you kill the Buddha Lord. As for the Void Saint's Master, that old fellow is not dead either. I almost fell into his hands back then."
"They retreated into the Sacred Land, where they could mobilize all its power to empower themselves, making them invincible among those of the same level. Even if there were a chance to defeat them, they would be extremely difficult to kill!"
Li Hao's eyes flickered. Although Old Feng knew that he had made great progress in the Sacred Dao, he did not know exactly to what extent.
Now, aside from the Supreme Saint, he is not confident that he can kill the Buddha Lord and the Void Saint if he encounters them again, Destruction the Sacred Dao along with them.
Only...
Li Hao recalled that their escape Movement Method all possessed special Divine Ability that surpassed the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm. If the other party was determined to escape, they might not be able to kill them.
His Movement Method was his weakness, and in the previous exchanges, he had used his Extreme Realm to cover up this weakness. The Extreme Realm in the Mortal World is the peak, so even if his Movement Method is weaker than others of the same realm, he can easily kill them and they will not be able to escape his hands.
However, Sacred Capital their Extreme Realm, and now the flaws in this Movement Method are fully exposed.
Seeing Li Hao remain silent in thought, Feng Boping continued, "In another six months, it will be the Saint Dao Discussion Assembly. All Heavens Saints will be present. The Heaven Pride Battle is merely a celebration for the younger generation, while the Saint Dao Discussion Assembly is the truly momentous event that can influence Heavenly Realms!"
"Saint Dao Discussion Assembly?"
Li Hao looked puzzled.
Feng Boping nodded. "That's right. Besides the discussions among the sages, this grand assembly also concerns the division of the All Heavens Sacred Land, the competition for Incense, and so on, affecting the changes in the overall structure of the Heavenly Realms! Therefore, All Heavens Saints will be present, presided over by the Supreme Saint. Furthermore, any competition among the Supreme Saint will take place during the Dao Discussion Assembly. Moreover, the Source Ancestor will be the final speaker, delivering Sage's teachings!"
The Sage preaches the Way!
This is why Sage are revered by countless people; they impart the Great Dao to all, so that all beings can comprehend it.
However, the teachings of the Source Ancestor can enlighten Sacred Capital. The reason why the Source Ancestor has such high prestige and connections is because many Sages have received his grace and guidance!
As the oldest Sage, no one can truly see through the Source Ancestor's true nature.
There was once Supreme Saint who debated with the Source Ancestor, but was easily suppressed, almost causing his Sacred Dao to collapse and him to fall from the Supreme Saint level. That battle also established the Source Ancestor's supreme status.
"Does Old Feng mean we should deal with them at the Dao Discussion Assembly?"
Li Hao pondered.
Feng Boping nodded and said, "They were driven away by you, so they will definitely have ambushes and preparations when they return. Going to their home turf is disadvantageous for us. They will certainly attend the Dao Discussion Assembly as well. If they really dare not come, it's not too late for us to go to their Sacred Land!"
Li Hao pondered for a moment; Old Feng's move was indeed quite prudent.
Although he was absolutely certain of success, the flaws in his Movement Method meant that if he were to act immediately, he might not be able to kill him.
Moreover, if the opponent has other external aid, or uses valuable treasures to invite the Supreme Saint for help, there is also the possibility of encountering danger.
The more desperate the attack, the more ferocious it becomes; he must be careful and not underestimate it.
"Alright, I still have many cultivation-related issues to resolve, so I'll take this opportunity to address them all at once."
Li Hao said.
Seeing that Li Hao had listened to his advice, Feng Boping breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "That's right, you've already become a saint, there's no need to rush. If we don't go, they'll be the ones who can't sleep or eat in peace, since they don't know when we'll make our move."
Li Hao smiled, then asked, "Old Feng, after surviving the Three Calamities, how does one cultivate to the Supreme Saint? What exactly is the difference between Supreme Saint and Sage?"
He hadn't yet overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, hadn't reached that bottleneck, and knew nothing about it.
Feng Boping laughed, knowing that Li Hao would ask. Now that Li Hao had become a saint, he was naturally prepared to explain these things to Li Hao in detail.
"The Sage faces Three Calamities. Overcoming the Human Calamity allows one to spread the Dao and accelerate the absorption of Incense. Overcoming the Earth Tribulation makes one impervious to all laws and unbreakable by All Things, comparable to the Sacred Dao Emperor Weapon!"
"Having overcome the Heaven Tribulation, the Sacred Dao will reach its Perfection!"
"At this moment, one has reached the three realms of the Sacred Dao! Above Perfection lies the Supreme Saint Supreme Saint is equivalent to half of the Extreme Realm Sacred Dao realm. This Dao Realm was originally created by the Source Ancestor. Once the Sacred Dao is Perfection, further comprehension will lead to the understanding of the Heavenly Dao!"
"Comprehending the Heavenly Dao is only the first step. If one can draw power from the Dao of Heavenly Dao, one becomes Supreme Saint. At this point, within the Perfection Sacred Dao, there will be a trace of the Heaven's Will!"
"Therefore, the Supreme Saint could easily shatter the Sacred Dao of other Sage with just this sliver of Heaven's Will, because no matter how strong Sacred Dao is, it cannot withstand Heaven's Will!"
"Besides, Sacred Capital sense the Heavenly Heart, which is what Buddhist Sect calls Destiny, but only vaguely. Even so, it is already extremely terrifying, similar to predicting the Future, or being a half-prophet. Therefore, the Supreme Saint rarely perish, as they can foresee danger in advance!"
Feng Boping said.
Li Hao was stunned, comprehending the Heavenly Dao?
Heaven's Will?
He suddenly felt that this statement was somewhat familiar. Immortal Transformation reaches the pinnacle of immortality, Li Hao also faintly glimpsed a trace of the Heavenly Venerable Will!
Do these two things have in common?
Li Hao's eyes flickered, and after careful consideration, he quickly realized that what Old Feng said was true. The Supreme Saint enlightenment of a saint is to follow the Heaven's Will and borrow the Heaven's Will, while the ultimate Immortal Transformation into an immortal, the Sixth Final Realm, is to control the Heaven's Will. Therefore, Li Hao called this realm the Heavenly Venerable!
"One is borrowing, the other is controlling. In that case, the power of the Sixth Final Realm should be even more terrifying than that of Supreme Saint..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, but Sixth Final Realm, he had only touched upon a trace of it. When he killed those six Dao Law Realm in the Mortal World, he had only controlled a trace of the Heavenly Venerable Will.
Only when you have complete mastery can you reach the Terminal Realm!
"Although the Extreme Realm and the Terminal Realm are difficult to cultivate, they seem to correspond to certain powers at a higher level of cultivation. Reaching the Extreme Realm or the Terminal Realm allows one to master them ahead of time, or even with something more terrifying..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered. He had already grasped this point, for example, in the Fifteen Li Extreme Realm, the Return to Emptiness Teleportation.
If one cultivates to the limit within the Fifteen Li Realm, the effect of this Extreme Realm Teleportation will be far more terrifying and impossible to detect than the Dao Resonance Teleportation of the First Layer of the Four Establishments Realm and the Dao Heart Realm!
While the Dao Resonance Transmission technique can be seen through at a glance by those at the Dao Inquiry Realm, Wu Hen at the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm.
"You have survived the Human Tribulation, and your physical body is comparable to Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon. Among All Heavens Saints, apart from the Supreme Saint, no one's physical body is stronger than yours. Even the other Sage of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land are no match for you, including those Dragon Demons of the Ancestor Dragon Sacred Land."
Feng Boping laughed and said, "My physical body is incredibly strong. While that doesn't mean my attack is the strongest—for example, Li Hao would have a hard time catching up with the Three Tribulations Saint who was trying to escape—it's at least top-notch in terms of survival."
Now that Li Hao has cultivated to the Power Circulation Final Realm, he will be even harder to kill. Even Supreme Saint would probably have to go to great lengths to kill Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded slightly, but couldn't help but sigh inwardly. If only his Path of Cooking could reach the Tenth Dan, he could quickly raise his Sword Dao to the Tenth Dan as well. Even if he couldn't catch up, he could still cleave that Buddha Lord in two with a single sword strike!
In that case, the other party won't even have a chance to escape, so the question of whether they can be caught is irrelevant.
"You can try this reward of Incense. There have been people who Sacrificial Dao Sanctification in the past, but later, when they tried to absorb the Incense, they seemed to encounter some obstacles and were unable to cultivate both simultaneously. I'm not entirely sure about this, since I haven't been able to Path of Sacrifice. Perhaps the Supreme Saint knows how to manage both. If you can't find a clue, you can ask the Source Ancestor."
Feng Boping said to Li Hao.
Li Hao frowned slightly and said, "Has no one ever tried to achieve sainthood through three cultivation methods?"
Feng Boping laughed and said, "Everyone has such thoughts, but no one can actually do it. You know how difficult it is. Just achieving Sacrificial Dao Sanctification is already extremely difficult, let alone cultivating all three paths. Moreover, the Ultimate Dao is related to the God Race and is forbidden. Even if someone crosses the most difficult Path of Sacrifice and secretly cultivates the Ultimate Dao, it seems that in the end they can only cultivate the Path of Sacrifice alone and cannot cultivate all three paths simultaneously."
Li Hao's eyes flashed. Those who could cultivate to the Saint Realm were all Heavenly Prodigy, and there were quite a few of them who were arrogant and proud. It was not surprising that they would try to cultivate three realms at once.
But no one can do it.
"Let me try it myself first."
Li Hao said.
He didn't plan to ask first, because if the Source Ancestor knew, the other party might be a Sage of Three Cultivations!
Thinking of this, Li Hao felt even more wary of the Source Ancestor.
"Yes, reaching the Saint Realm makes one a pioneer, establishing a destiny for all living beings and opening a new chapter for Heaven and Earth. No one will ever walk before us again, no one will ever guide us; we should be the ones to lead the way for those who come after us."
Feng Boping praised, his eyes revealing both admiration and a sense of grandeur in the face of Heaven and Earth unknown.
Upon hearing his words, Li Hao's heart was filled with boundless light. Yes, once you reach the Saint Realm, you no longer need to follow the path of others; the path you walk is the path that others will follow!
He will become a trailblazer, not a learner.
If we were to say who could be the teacher of Sage, there would only be two kinds: the first is Heaven and Earth, and the second is the Great Dao!
Gain insights from the Great Dao, from Heaven and Earth and Earth, and write a new chapter in your own Sacred Dao, opening up a new Sacred Dao and a new Body Refining for all beings!
After Old Feng left, Li Hao took out the Incense Golden Body that had been awarded to the first Supreme Heavenly Prodigy.
Without hesitation, he imprinted a wisp of his Soul Thought onto the Golden Body.
Instantly, the Incense sealed within the Golden Body seemed to have found a host and a place to rest, transforming into a rich, misty glow that flew out of the Golden Body and was absorbed into Li Hao's body.
The incense condensing within it grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the second and third sticks of incense were all condensed.
With the condensation of three incense sticks, it has already achieved the Incense Sanctification!
But Li Hao sensed that these three incense sticks were indeed condensed, even longer and thicker than other incense sticks, but they seemed to be shrouded in something, and could not be lit!
Before the Path of Sacrifice, Li Hao felt that the three incense sticks were like something he could always hold in his hand, extremely close to him. But now, they felt like they were very far away.
Moreover, he used to be able to manipulate the Incense Power and light it at any time, but now he finds that he no longer has that ability.
"Can't be lit? It can only absorb Incense, but can't be used?!"
Li Hao was stunned. He hadn't expected that there really was a barrier between Incense and Path of Sacrifice, making it impossible to cultivate them together.
That Ultimate Dao Power retreated into the limbs, far removed from the Three Incense Sticks burning in the heart.
Li Hao frowned and carefully sensed the situation, only to discover that it was the Sacred Dao power within his physical body that was suppressing the Three Incense Sticks, preventing them from being lit.
This Sacred Dao power is like a membrane, isolating the air; without air, it cannot ignite.
Unless the Sacred Dao cracks, breaks open, and reveals a gap, the Three Incense Sticks will not be suppressed so severely and will barely be able to be lit.
However, this results in both powers being only half-baked, and it's even worse than cultivating only one path.
"Is this the difficulty of not being able to practice together?"
Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he immediately felt a sense of unease; this seemed to be a dead end.
To light Three Incense Sticks, the Sacred Dao must be broken; however, if the Sacred Dao is broken, one's own strength will be severely damaged, making it a losing proposition.
"If the physical body were a little larger, with two chests, or perhaps an incarnation..."
Li Hao's thoughts raced, his mind wandering. He considered condensing two more physical bodies, placing the three powers into the other two bodies respectively, and then merging the three bodies into Unity. Would this allow him to cultivate simultaneously?
Thinking of this, he had a thought and bit his finger. Although his finger skin was comparable to that of Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, his teeth were even sharper and could even crush Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon!
As the Divine Blood fell, Li Hao immediately separated a portion of his consciousness, allowing the Divine Blood to condense into an avatar.
He then attempted to transfer the Incense Power within his body into his avatar.
The process was somewhat difficult, but overall it went relatively smoothly.
Past the transfer, Li Hao lit the Three Incense Sticks in his avatar.
This time, it was successfully lit, but it was still met with some obstacles. The Soul Thought within the incarnation also contained his own Sacred Dao power, but it was relatively weak, which was why it could not suppress the Incense Power.
As the Incense Power burned, the Sacred Dao power seemed to be scorched and quickly dissipated.
In this way, this incarnation only possesses the Incense Power, but lacks the power of Path of Sacrifice.
Li Hao frowned as he absorbed the avatar back into his main body. The process went smoothly, and as they merged, the Incense Power was also transferred into his main body.
But when the Three Incense Sticks returned to their physical bodies, the Incense Power went out and was suppressed once again by the power of the Sacred Dao.
Li Hao was speechless. All his efforts had been in vain. As long as they merged, the Incense Power would be suppressed.
If it's merely a matter of having the avatar inherit the Incense Power, then it would be meaningless.
After all, the Incense Power within the incarnation will dispel the Path of Sacrifice power, resulting in a net loss and no significant increase in strength.
"One can only cultivate one Sacred Dao, and they are mutually exclusive..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered; it seemed he really needed to ask the Supreme Saint for advice on which path to take.
Thinking it over, Li Hao looked at the Three Heaven and Earth Treasures, but did not hand them over to Merit and Fame to absorb. Since he was going to seek guidance, he would have to give gifts, so he would take these as a small gift.
Sensing Old Feng's Aura, Li Hao, from his cave abode in the Sacred Land, sent him a telepathic message, informing him that he was going to the Heaven Origin Realm.
Do you need me to accompany you?
"No need, they'll be here and gone quickly."
After greeting Old Feng, Li Hao quickly set off, crossing the barrier of the Small Thousand Realm and speeding along the way.
Now that his Physical Body Sainthood, Li Hao can Seeing Heaven and Earth the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth with his naked eye, and he can also see many Void Rift. He can travel through them at will, covering tens of thousands of miles in an instant, far exceeding the range of the Fifteen Li Realm Object Manipulation.
But that was pure control through power, so one could reach the Extreme Realm by Object Manipulation a hundred miles away. This ability to travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant is a shortcut, using the cracks in the Heaven and Earth and Great Dao and the paths of the Great Dao to fly through the Sky Traversal. They are two different things.
If one were to rely solely on brute force, even Sage could not move tens of thousands of miles.
Traveling at full speed, Li Hao arrived at the Heaven Origin Realm again in about half a day.
Upon arriving at the familiar Heaven Origin Holy Mountain, Li Hao went straight to the Mountain Summit to pay his respects.
"It must be the Lord Haotian. My Master has instructed me to wait here for a long time. Please follow me."
As soon as Li Hao reached the Mountain Summit, he saw a Half-Saint from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Dressed in white, he looked to be over sixty years old, but had a smiling face. After bowing to Li Hao, he spoke with a hint of reverence.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hao was somewhat surprised. Did the Source Ancestor expect him to come?
His thoughts raced, and he quickly realized that he had become Sacrificial Dao Sanctification, and would inevitably use the Incense Power to cultivate. It was not surprising that the Source Ancestor had anticipated that he would come looking for him.
Moreover, Old Feng said that the Supreme Saint can discern the Heaven's Will and vaguely glimpse the Future.
After following them to Heaven Origin Holy Mountain, they arrived at the cave abode where the Source Ancestor had previously invited the various Supreme Saint and Li Hao.
The decorations here are rather simple, but Li Hao can sense that the tables, chairs, benches, teacups, and plates all contain the power of Dao Resonance. The entire cave abode is surrounded by Great Dao, making it seem like an Immortal Abode.
"Young friend, you've come here seeking the methods of cultivation, haven't you?"
Source Ancestor was sitting in his cave abode, drinking tea. Beside him was a familiar figure; Li Hao looked and saw it was Xiao Tianyu.
But compared to before, his demeanor and bearing had undergone a dramatic change, becoming more composed and serene, with Aura of otherworldly grace.
Li Hao could tell at a glance that the other party had become Sage, with a rich Incense Power within him.
Clearly, as a disciple of the Source Ancestor, he would receive considerable Incense Power.
What makes the Sage wary of the Source Ancestor is that Source Ancestor Incense Power are undisputed to be the strongest in Heavenly Realms!
For those who attain Incense Sanctification, the quantity of Incense reflects their strength. The amount of Incense accumulated by the Source Ancestor surpasses Heavenly Realms, so no one can rival him in terms of the Incense Power.
"Indeed, the Source Ancestor was incredibly prescient."
Li Hao smiled.
Source Ancestor smiled slightly and said, "Knowing that you attained Sacrificial Dao Sanctification, I guessed you would come to inquire, but I didn't expect you to come only after several months. Young friend, you are quite composed."
For the past few months, Li Hao has been mainly immersed in the integration and enlightenment of the Dao Scripture and his own Sacred Dao. He has only just absorbed the Incense, but most people believe that he has already absorbed them. They just came here to visit him because they have been trying to find a way to do so for months.
The two are not very different, and Li Hao did not explain. He really didn't have any good ideas at the moment and wanted to come here to learn from others. If there was a solution, that would be great; if not, perhaps he could find some ideas.
While the two were talking, Xiao Tianyu simply sat to the side, quietly drinking tea while gazing at Li Hao.
After several months apart, he is now on equal footing with Li Hao; both are Sage.
However, he knew that even though Li Hao had previously defeated the Buddha Lord and scared away the Void Saint, there was still a considerable gap between them, even though they were both Sage.
"Here is a small gift; please accept it Source Ancestor, and inform my fellow practitioners of the method."
Li Hao took out two Heaven and Earth Treasures and handed them to the Source Ancestor, keeping only one for himself.
Source Ancestor glanced at it and immediately burst into laughter; this was precisely the reward he had given Li Hao earlier.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but this gift is unnecessary. To be honest, many All Heavens Saints have consulted me about this matter after they became saints, including those of you who have now become Supreme Saint. But even I, after years of painstaking research, have not found a particularly suitable method, only a relatively moderate one."
Source Ancestor smiled and said, "The Three Sages Cultivation, this method is very likely related to the Saint Extreme Realm. If it can truly be achieved, it will possess incredible power, enough to suppress All Heavens Saints with one's own strength!"
"But this method is also difficult; my compromise might very well be the wrong path."
He paused, then looked at Li Hao and asked, "So, do you still want to repair it?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly as he asked, "How does the Source Ancestor know it's the wrong path?"
"Because although this path allows all three powers to coexist, it doesn't reach the Extreme Realm I envisioned, and the path to the Saint Extreme Realm has only this one possibility."
"Source Ancestor said."
Xiao Tianyu listened quietly to their conversation and took a sip of tea.
Indeed, as Heavenly Prodigy who aspires to become Sage, no one would not want to cultivate all three Sacred Dao simultaneously.
Just like mortals wanting to ascend to heaven, and saints wanting to become immortals, but wanting is one thing, actually doing it is another.
Li Hao understood and nodded, saying, "I'd like to hear more details; I'd like to go and see."
Seeing Li Hao's words, the Source Ancestor seemed to have expected it and was not surprised. He smiled and said, "I have tried all these methods, including incarnations, Reincarnated Body, and even splitting the Soul Thought into incarnations, but none of them worked. In the end, I used the simplest and most straightforward method, which is to establish Two Seals within the body, like walls, to isolate these three powers!"
"When needed, simply loosen the restriction slightly to unleash its power."
Li Hao was taken aback. Could he build a wall within his body to isolate the three forces?
It was indeed simple and straightforward... Li Hao's eye twitched, but he quickly realized that although the idea was simple, the restriction mentioned by the Source Ancestor was not necessarily simple.
If a restriction can isolate the power of the Sacred Dao and prevent them from affecting each other, then that restriction must be extremely terrifying.
Source Ancestor smiled and said, "This isolation barrier is something I've developed over many years. If you wish to learn it, I can teach it to you."
Li Hao looked at him and could vaguely see the goodwill in the other's eyes.
He had been wronged before, and the other party had not spoken up. Although the truth was revealed and justice was served for him, Li Hao still felt some resentment in his heart. However, after he realized the Heaven and Earth Have Flaws in the Sacred Dao of Heaven and Earth, this resentment dissipated.
Because he can accept this imperfection, after all, others have no obligation to speak out for justice.
Moreover, the concepts of good and evil are merely extensions of the Buddhist Sect. Other Sage may not have had such a concept. For example, the Mo Family only had the concept of equality, without distinction of rank or good and evil. The Sacred Dao is to love all beings.
How can I ever repay this kindness?
Li Hao inquired.
Sage may not necessarily talk about good and evil, but they must talk about what to choose and what to reject; this is the foundation of humanity.
"No need to repay it; it's not a favor."
Source Ancestor shook his head slightly and said, "You don't need to worry about it. I will teach this method to any of the All Heavens Saints who asks."
Li Hao's eyes flickered. He gazed at him intently, thought for a moment, then left one of the two Heaven and Earth Treasures behind, saying:
"Although the Source Ancestor has no need for it, I have received it for nothing, and I feel guilty. I hope you will accept this item."
Source Ancestor glanced at it and said, "If it can bring you peace of State of Mind, that's fine too."
After saying this, he put away the Heaven and Earth Treasures.
He then transmitted the two restrictions to Li Hao telepathically.
Li Hao memorized everything, but did not immediately begin cultivating there. After savoring the words for a moment, he stood up and said, "I apologize for disturbing you today, then I shall take my leave."
Source Ancestor chuckled and said, "Come and sit anytime you have time. My humble abode is quiet, and I'd like to have some fun."
Li Hao smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then bowed to say goodbye.
Seeing Li Hao about to leave, Xiao Tianyu suddenly asked, "Will you come to the Dao Discussion Assembly six months from now?"
Li Hao looked at him and nodded, "Yes."
Now, he is no longer afraid of being exposed or ambushed. Apart from the Supreme Saint, there are few who can threaten him.
Xiao Tianyu smiled slightly and said, "Then I will wait for you. If there is an opportunity, we can have a debate. I want to see if my cultivation in this life has improved!"
"OK."
The other party was Source Ancestor's disciple, and out of respect for Source Ancestor, Li Hao had no reason to refuse.
After saying that, Li Hao left the cave abode.
After Li Hao left, Xiao Tianyu looked at the Source Ancestor and said, "Master, this restriction can interfere with the Sacred Dao. It is a top-tier technique in Heavenly Realms. Did you really pass it on to him so easily?"
Source Ancestor chuckled and said, "This child is incomparable to other Sage. Even if I don't teach him, he will eventually figure it out in a hundred or a thousand years. It will only take a little time. Rather than that, I might as well do him a favor. However, he doesn't seem to like owing favors to others."
Looking at the Heaven and Earth Treasures in his hand, he smiled helplessly and casually tossed it to Xiao Tianyu:
"Take it and feed it to your longbow."
Xiao Tianyu accepted it and, without any hesitation, thanked his Master.
"Master, you spent tens of thousands of years researching and developing this restriction, yet he can comprehend it in a few hundred years. Doesn't that mean he has a higher level of comprehension than you?"
Xiao Tianyu asked.
Source Ancestor shook his head and smiled, saying, "Among Heavenly Realms, there is more than one person with higher comprehension than me. I was just born a little earlier. In terms of comprehension, I am quite dull-witted, otherwise I wouldn't have been trapped here all these years."
As he said this, a glint appeared in his eyes, but it quickly faded away.
"Master is being modest."
Xiao Tianyu said in a low voice. He knew his Master's temperament. Although his comprehension was not the best in the Heavenly Realms, it was still extremely terrifying. Otherwise, how could he have cultivated himself into the first Sage in that Primordial Era?
After leaving the Source Ancestor, Li Hao returned to the Small Thousand Realm.
He returned to the Small Courtyard and went into Seclusion to cultivate once more.
Li Hao carefully studied the Two Seals. The Source Ancestor's teachings were extremely detailed, and he grasped them very easily, mastering them quickly.
"These Two Seals can actually affect the Sacred Dao..."
Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he felt even more how terrifying these Two Seals were. They were definitely not simple, yet the other party had easily taught them to him. This Source Ancestor was so respected by all the saints that he truly had admirable methods.
Li Hao constructed a restriction within his body, and then discovered that the power of the Sacred Dao within him had reduced its influence on the Incense.
He immediately tried to light the Incense and discovered that all Three Incense Sticks were already lit.
A surge of Incense Power ignited within his body.
As if drawn by an attraction, the Great Dao gathered, and the smoke from the burning Incense transformed into a surging power that flowed through the body.
But as the smoke swirled and the power flowed, his own Sacred Dao power seemed to weaken, suppressed by the Incense Power.
Li Hao tried to condense the power of the Sacred Dao and found that he could condense it, but it was suppressed by the restriction and covered by the Incense Power, so the power he could use was extremely limited.
Li Hao then tried to suppress the power of the Incense Power of the forbidden, but found that the effect was the opposite; the power of the Sacred Dao suppressed the Incense again. Although he could use the Incense Power at the same time, it was very weak.
"I see..."
Li Hao realized that although this method could allow all three forces to manifest simultaneously, there was a primary and a secondary element.
Simply put, even if one cultivates all three powers simultaneously, it's not as Li Hao imagined, where the three powers flow freely; rather, there's a clear distinction between primary and secondary powers.
Although it is stronger than cultivating only one skill, it is very limited, suppressing the other two and creating a primary and secondary system, rather than being able to fully utilize all three.
"No wonder they say this is the wrong path. If there truly is Saint Extreme Realm, it would be nothing like this..."
"But besides this path, is there really another way, like Three Sages Cultivation?"
A thoughtful look appeared in Li Hao's eyes. Abandoning this method seemed even less compatible.
Perhaps, Sage can only cultivate in solitude.
Li Hao dispelled the restriction, and the Three Incense Sticks immediately went out, the power of the Sacred Dao becoming the dominant force.
Li Hao couldn't help but sigh; this wasn't the path he wanted to take.
"They are all Sacred Dao, so why can't they be compatible? Heaven and Earth can accommodate All Things, but they cannot accommodate three Sacred Dao?"
Li Hao muttered to himself.
But a voice seemed to be saying in my mind, "Heaven and Earth are Heaven and Earth, and he is just himself. He cannot be compared to heaven and Heaven and Earth."
But what if one's physical body could be cultivated to be as magnificent as Heaven and Earth?
A thoughtful look appeared in Li Hao's eyes.
The physical body cannot truly be like Heaven and Earth, but it is born from heaven and Heaven and Earth, and is a part of it, or can be a part of Heaven and Earth.
He is a particle that extends from Heaven and Earth, and at the same time, Heaven and Earth are also an extension of him!
Having figured this out, Li Hao suddenly had a moment of enlightenment.
Dao Resonance swirled around him as Li Hao sat cross-legged, his Sacred Dao Aura growing ever more radiant and intense.
What are Heaven and Earth?
Heaven and Earth began with nothingness, and from nothingness came something.
Li Hao's physical body was changing and being tempered. A Body Refining method born from the Dao was operating on its own within his body. His body absorbed a great deal of Dao Resonance, causing its size to increase dramatically and his body to change.
What is that?
When Li Hao's body swelled up and burst out of the Small Courtyard, many disciples on the Thief Heaven Holy Mountain saw Li Hao appearance and were all shocked.
"Um?"
Feng Boping, who had just been lying on the Cloud End, suddenly sat up and stared at Li Hao, who was a hundred feet tall. He was a little stunned. He could feel that Li Hao's body contained terrifying power. Divine electricity seemed to be surging between his bones, flesh and pores, and his Divine Blood was like a furnace, radiating a scorching Aura.
What is he practicing?
Feng Boping was somewhat stunned; the commotion was too great, it seemed to be about to break the sky!
He realized what was happening and quickly raised his hand. The Cloudmist swirled around Li Hao's body, preventing him from being spied on.
But the commotion here had already alerted everyone on the entire Saint Mountain.
"Is that the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form?!"
"No, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form is somewhat ethereal, yet it is real!"
"How could a condensed Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, a manifestation of heaven and earth at its most refined, possibly have such a gigantic physical body?!"
Many disciples looked up, only to see Cloudmist surrounding and obscuring its majestic form.
Among the crowd, Lin Baichuan, Chu Hanwei, and other Saint Child of the Thief Heaven Sacred Land stared blankly at the scene, then looked at each other in bewilderment.
He seems to be getting more and more terrifying.
Lin Baichuan saw the Cloudmist obscuring the view and recognized it as his Master's doing. He withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with a complex and bitter expression.
They were once both Heavenly Prodigy, but now that the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle has ended, the other has become a saint and been granted the title of Venerable, while they are still just Saint Child, only comparable to Half-Saint, far, far away from Sage.
Chu Hanwei stared intently, saying nothing, only slightly pursing her lips.
Meanwhile, Li Hao, shrouded in Cloudmist, continued to grow in size.
A surge of power and the Aura of the Great Dao permeated his flesh and pores, causing his physical body to become enormous.
When this power reached its bottleneck, Li Hao opened his eyes and immediately Seeing Self sitting on the Saint Mountain like a giant, looking down at the sea of clouds. The surrounding buildings became extremely small, like grains of sand, and his Courtyard had long been destroyed by his drastically increased size.
The once spacious Courtyard was now smaller than his toes.
Li Hao glanced down, but he wasn't surprised. His current state was Refinement the Great Dao and Principle of Heaven and Earth and Earth, a kind of Body-Tempering Art combined with Divine Ability.
He called this power the Law, Heaven and Earth!
This is different from the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form reveals the will Dao Thought of the inner Soul Inheritance, and is a phantom constructed of energy. The Law, Heaven and Earth, on the other hand, incorporates power into the physical body.
Only by Physical Body Sainthood could he comprehend and cultivate such Sacred Dao Divine Ability!
Feeling the surging power coursing through his body, Li Hao couldn't imagine what level of power he would reach if he summoned the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and Unity with it.
"Now, my body is one with Heaven and Earth!"
Li Hao Whispers.
The Law, Heaven and Earth originates from this.
He emulates the heavens and imitates the earth; within his own body, heaven Heaven and Earth are formed!
All Things in Heaven and Earth and earth can be integrated, simply because All Things in Heaven and Earth are one breath!
"This breath condenses and evolves All Things; the Three Sages’ Power can all be contained within this breath!"
Li Hao's eyes shone brighter and clearer than ever before, as he comprehended the path to the fusion of the three saints.
His enlightenment was also related to his mastery of the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm. As an Immortal Transformation Immortal Transformation, he peered into the Heaven and Earth and condensed a breath of Immortal Qi from the very Heaven and Earth Origin.
This celestial Immortal Qi can gather to form All Things, or disperse into the vast and boundless void.
Having grasped the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, his thoughts finally flowed naturally, and he came to understand the bottleneck in the fusion of the three saints.
Li Hao dispersed the power of the Great Dao within his body, causing the power to contract and his physical body to gradually shrink. In the blink of an eye, he shrank back to the Courtyard, his entire body Red Light, his Robe previously torn.
But Li Hao had no time to pay attention to any of that; his mind was entirely focused on the Incense Power within his body.
With a breath of Immortal Qi circulating, his entire body became as one!
The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to All Things!
At that moment, with the flow of this Immortal Qi, the Three Incense Sticks were lit.
Furthermore, the Sacred Dao power within him remained unaffected and uninterrupted, coexisting with it.
Li Hao opened his eyes, and sparks seemed to be reflected in them, but they quickly dissipated. However, his Aura became deeper and more profound. As the Three Incense Sticks burned, the Incense Power filled his entire body. The smoke from the burning Incense permeated his body and surrounded his Sacred Dao. He could feel that his power had been greatly enhanced, nearly doubling from before.
At the same time, he also saw countless Incense gathering together, the Three Incense Sticks growing thicker and thicker, and the smoke from them becoming more and more concentrated.
"So that's how it is. One must cultivate the physical body to its ultimate level and condense the Law, Heaven and Earth to achieve the coexistence of the Three Saints as one!"
Li Hao's eyes flickered; he hadn't expected that the conditions for Three Sages Cultivation would be so harsh.
Besides cultivating one's physical body to its ultimate level, one must also master the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm in order to condense the Law, Heaven and Earth!
This alone has caused countless Sages to falter, no wonder no one has been able to master it.
At this moment, Li Hao felt a sense of relief. This also indicated that the Source Ancestor probably did not possess such power, and the restriction he passed on might have been a method that the Source Ancestor himself used.
"When I have the strength to defend it, I can pass this method on to Old Feng..."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
If the Supreme Saint knew that he could freely unleash two or even three Sacred Dao being suppressed by restrictions, he would surely come to investigate.
Fortunately, even if he were to use two Sacred Dao powers simultaneously, the other party would only assume that he was under the suppression of a restriction. With the Source Ancestor's teachings as evidence, it would be enough to dispel any ill intentions.
Once he possesses the power to suppress Heavenly Realms like the Source Ancestor, he wouldn't hesitate to pass on his teachings. Whether others can comprehend them depends on their abilities, but that's not possible right now.
"Right now, all I need to do is continuously absorb the Incense Power and the Ultimate Dao Power. However, my Ultimate Dao Power doesn't seem sufficient to achieve sainthood..."
Li Hao realized that the Ultimate Dao Power within his body, refined in his Divine Blood, was still a little short of condensing into the Sacred Dao.
But now that he has become a saint, he can no longer go to the All Heavens Battlefield, where Sage are forbidden.
He can only go to the God Dynasty Battlefield of other Small World to absorb the Ultimate Dao Power. In addition, he can also continue to refine and cultivate his All Heavens Star Meridian while searching for the Ultimate Dao Power, striving to reach the Terminal Realm Perfection.
