Seeds of the Heavenly Dao, Reincarnation and Cultivation
A hazy Dao Thought will condensed from that power, ethereal yet containing a terrifying majesty.
That solemn, ancient, and supreme pressure gave Li Hao a sense of déjà vu.
When he finally grasped the source of this power, Li Hao's pupils constricted slightly, and a sense of horror rose in his heart.
This is... the Heavenly Dao?!
However, it differs somewhat from the Heavenly Dao Will that Li Hao touched when he became Immortal Transformation. It's like a miniature, many times smaller, Heavenly Dao Embryo, or rather, a seed!
Even so, Li Hao was shocked and incredulous, for this was the supreme power of Heavenly Realms!
Although the Heavenly Dao Seed within his body Dharma Form to the Heavenly Dao in the outside world, Li Hao could sense that with a slight manipulation, it could cause extraordinary phenomena and waves, easily suppressing the Three Tribulations Saint!
If he were to encounter Supreme Saint, Li Hao felt he would have the strength to fight!
As Old Feng said, the Supreme Saint is Perfection the Sacred Dao, has glimpsed the Heavenly Dao, and can draw power from the Heavenly Dao!
But now... a Heavenly Dao Seed is growing within him!
According to Ying Xiaoxiao, he is currently at the Sage Small Extreme Realm, not yet at the true Saint Extreme Realm!
Only when all three Sacred Dao powers have accumulated to their ultimate God Realm and merged with each other can one reach the true Saint Extreme Realm!
What changes will occur to this seed then?
Li Hao's eyes shone with surprise and excitement. Could it be that a true Heavenly Dao could be nurtured then?
If that were truly the case, Li Hao simply couldn't imagine what kind of being it would be.
However, the difficulty of accumulating the three powers to the level of the God Realm is beyond imagination. The Source Ancestor cultivated from the Primordial Era to become a Saint and has accumulated power to this day, but he has only reached the God Realm through Incense!
While the Ultimate Dao is easy to cultivate, it requires war and death to occur in half of the All Heavens Sacred Land in order to achieve it.
It's equivalent to slaughtering half of Heavenly Realms before one can condense the Extreme Dao God Realm!
As for Path of Sacrifice... they are mostly the hardest to accumulate. Ying Xiaoxiao didn't say, but Li Hao had a general idea.
One must cultivate many Great Dao to the Sacred Dao and Path of Sacrifice to achieve this.
It's important to understand that achieving Sacrificial Dao Sanctification is extremely rare, let alone accumulating numerous Sacrificial Dao Sanctification —the difficulty of that is unimaginable!
Even though Li Hao had Panel that could accelerate his cultivation, just looking ahead at this moment made his scalp tingle; it could be an extremely long process.
"The God Race Progenitor is about to awaken, which will most likely trigger a great war Heavenly Realms. Even if I help him, the Ultimate Dao Power he can share will likely be extremely limited, unless I actively plunder and Slaughter..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, but in the end, he dismissed the idea.
In the Mortal World, one general's success is built upon the bones of countless others; but in the Extreme Dao God Realm, half of the Heavenly Realms are sacrificed, all for the sake of one person's ascension to godhood.
Such a high price still made it difficult for Li Hao to bring himself to do it.
"However, merely achieving the Extreme Dao God Realm is not enough. The Path of Sacrifice and Incense Offering are even more difficult. It will probably take a long Years to comprehend the Path of Sacrifice to the God Realm. By then, the Ultimate Dao Power accumulated from the natural Slaughter and death of Heavenly Realms will likely be enough to absorb into the God Realm..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, but he stopped thinking about this matter of the Ultimate Dao.
His thoughts returned to the Heavenly Dao Seed within his body. With a thought, an ancient and vast Aura seemed to separate the Heavenly Dao Seed from his body once more.
When gathered, they are the Heavenly Dao Seed; when scattered, they are the Three Saints' Power swirling around them.
Li Hao exhaled lightly, and the surrounding Great Dao Aura. As he exhaled, two avatars were immediately reflected around him.
Both of these incarnations contain a Sacred Dao power.
Path of Sacrifice, Incense, the Ultimate Dao!
Besides his True Form being Path of Sacrifice, both of his incarnations also possess the power of the Saint Realm.
"They... they also have the Three Calamity Shackles of the Sacred Dao!"
Li Hao immediately sensed that there were also three shackles of the Sacred Dao within the body of this avatar!
He himself only had two, because he had previously survived the Human Calamity.
"I must undergo Nine Calamities Three Sages Cultivation?"
Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then felt a little relieved. The two Sacred Dao powers of Incense and the Ultimate Dao had not yet undergone the baptism and transformation of calamity.
Li Hao absorbed the avatar, and the two powers returned to his physical body. The three powers swirled within him, and the Three Calamities Shackles still bound the Origin the Sacred Dao power.
Now, Li Hao can freely switch between any kind of Sacred Dao power, and even manifest them simultaneously.
However, for Li Hao, the strongest method is to gather the three powers and transform them into Heavenly Dao Seed, which might allow him to confront the Supreme Saint!
Li Hao concealed his Aura, and the strange phenomena around him dissipated. He took a step out and walked out of the ten-thousand-foot-deep crack in the earth, and then left.
Meanwhile, deep within a Small World...
Near the Underground Lava, a group of figures stood. The temperature here was extremely high. Even experts at the Four Establishments Realm could not stay here for long and could only rely on their Dao Domain to barely block the scorching heat.
However, Xuanhe Palace Hall and buildings were constructed here.
Many figures lived inside the building, which was shrouded by Divine Array that insulated it from the intense heat.
"We may call ourselves a God Race, yet we live in this cramped place, like cockroaches, earthworms, and bedbugs underground. We deserve to die!"
"Stop talking! We've endured so many years already. Just a little longer, and our Progenitor will return. Then our race will see the light again. We will let all the Heavenly Realms know that we are God Race, not Devil Race!"
"Before, there was no hope, and I got used to it, so I didn't feel much suffering. But now, I can hardly bear it for another moment. When the Progenitor returns, I will definitely be the first to charge and fight on the front lines!"
"That's right, let the Heavenly Realms flow with rivers of blood!"
Fire Pool, a group of figures gathered, all talking in hushed tones, their words revealing intense hatred and murderous intent.
This is the humiliation and forbearance endured by generations, etched into their very bones, and that resentment is also bottled up in the hearts of every member of the clan.
In the past, there wasn't such a strong sense of malevolence and Killing Aura, but now that the Progenitor is about to be resurrected, this aura is becoming increasingly difficult to control. In the discussions, some people are already imagining how to make Heavenly Realms bleed and regret!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the Void, its body shrouded in a hazy Azure Radiance. It passed through the special restrictions of this place and quietly appeared.
"Greetings, God Daughter."
Upon seeing the woman in the Teal-Blue Garment, some people paused for a moment, then immediately knelt down respectfully.
Some of the Half-Saint standing by the lava Fire Pool bowed deeply upon seeing this woman.
Besides revering the other party's Saint Realm, it was also because the other party was God Daughter, a direct Bloodline of that Progenitor, containing the purest Progenitor power.
"Grandmother, I want to see the Progenitor."
Upon her return, Ying Xiaoxiao went straight to the highest Divine Hall. Looking at the dignified Old Woman sitting there in a crimson robe, she immediately restrained her Aura and bowed her head respectfully.
"Xiaoxiao, now that you've become Sage, it's time to put away your playful nature. Don't forget the mission you bear for our clan."
The elegant Old Woman's face showed a hint of kindness as she spoke softly.
Ying Xiaoxiao whispered, "I went to the Ancient Mist World to absorb the Ultimate Dao Power there, and I converted many of their Slaughter Resentment, sparing them from torment in the Mo River. I also brought back some good news."
"You are kind-hearted, but it's a pity that my clan has saved countless lives, yet we are branded Devil Race. The saints are unjust, disregarding justice..."
A hint of hatred slowly crept into the old Old Woman's eyes, but when she turned to look at Ying Xiaoxiao, her gaze softened, and she said:
"What good news could possibly alarm the Progenitor? Progenitor divine consciousness has just been reawakened and needs to slumber to recover."
"I have found an ally, whose strength is comparable to that of the Three Tribulations Saint. When our Progenitor leads our clan in revenge, he can be an asset, helping us to hold off the Buddhist Sect Green Lantern Buddha and that Ancestor Xu!"
Ying Xiaoxiao immediately replied.
"Oh?"
The elegant Old Woman's eyes showed surprise. She said, "Really? Since that catastrophe, Sacred Capital have avoided our race like the plague. We dare not approach those Sage rashly and leave any trace. How can you be so sure that Sage is willing to help us?"
"Because he also has a grudge against them."
Ying Xiaoxiao said.
The elegant Old Woman became interested and asked, "Which Sage is it?"
"Grandmother, you immediately recognized him; he's the one who recently won first place in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle."
Ying Xiaoxiao looked up, smiled at the elegant Old Woman, and said with a gleam in her eyes.
"It was him?"
The noble Old Woman had clearly heard of the legend of Lord Haotian, who did not rely on Incense in the Supreme Battle but instead Sacrificial Dao Sanctification. Immediately after becoming a saint, she decisively defeated the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land, a feat that can be described as unparalleled throughout the ages.
How did you meet him?
The elegant Old Woman looked at her great-granddaughter and noticed the smile in the other's eyes; her own eyes flickered slightly.
"I met him in the Mortal World; I was with Uncle Mo at the time."
Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed, the light in them suddenly went out, and she said somewhat dejectedly.
The elegant Old Woman immediately saw through her thoughts, her eyes shifted, and she sighed softly:
"Your Uncle Mo and the others did it voluntarily. It is an unparalleled honor to bring the Progenitor back to life. You don't need to be sad for him."
Ying Xiaoxiao remained silent and did not respond.
The elegant Old Woman continued, "I had previously planned to send someone to win over that new saint. The other Sage either knew about that catastrophe, or they were afraid of the Supreme Saint and unwilling to get involved. Some were even willing to act as henchmen, wanting to send information about our clan to the Source Ancestor curry favor with him..."
As she spoke, a cold look appeared on her face. She said, "Only these new saints are bold enough to retain the arrogance of their Heavenly Prodigy, without so many underhanded thoughts. I didn't expect you to be able to make this connection. That's indeed good news. Go and tell the Progenitor yourself."
Ying Xiaoxiao smiled again and nodded after receiving her praise.
Then she went deep into the Divine Hall.
There is a huge Fire Crystal floating here. Within the crystal, there is an extremely strong Sacred Dao Aura. Even in its concealed state, it is still like an ancient behemoth, giving people an immense sense of pressure.
Ying Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she bowed respectfully.
What is it?
A faint, indifferent thought emerged from that Sacred Dao Aura.
"I have found a Sage assistant for our Progenitor who can help with Progenitor grand plan," Ying Xiaoxiao said, revealing Li Hao's willingness to provide assistance.
As she slowly finished speaking, the Sacred Dao Aura within the Fire Crystal subtly shifted, revealing a hint of the Destruction killing intent of the Ultimate Dao.
"There's no need to risk contacting other Sage. I don't need anyone's help. If the news leaks out, it will only ruin things."
The voice, instead of the Ying Xiaoxiao had imagined, carried a hint of displeasure.
Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback, realizing that the Progenitor's concerns were justified, and quickly said, "That person is different from others. Even if he is unwilling to help, he will not leak this information."
"Um?"
The voice clearly hadn't expected Ying Xiaoxiao to contradict him.
Pause slightly, then her voice turned cold and authoritative. "Do you believe me, or a foreigner? You bear the mission of your race, you are God Daughter, yet you are so foolish. Do you want your one mistake to cause your entire race, and even me, to suffer this calamity of the saints once again?!"
Ying Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down, saying, "Progenitor, I just wanted to..."
"You don't need to do anything unnecessary. I'm coming back soon. During this time, just keep a low profile. The more the storm approaches, the calmer you need to be," the voice said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip and lowered her head.
She knew that the God Race were currently facing difficulties, hiding in the Lands of the Saints and struggling to make ends meet. Therefore, she hoped to receive assistance, which would also alleviate the casualties and sacrifices of her people during the great war.
"I don't know how Qingxue disciplined you. As a God Daughter, you should prioritize the greater good!"
Qingxue is a noble Old Woman and Ying Xiaoxiao's grandmother.
The voice spoke with dissatisfaction, but stopped there, Pause briefly before continuing:
"Qingxue told me about the person you mentioned, but he's rife with trouble and too conspicuous. Before he helped me, he probably wouldn't even be able to overcome his own tribulation. By the time I make my comeback, he'll most likely have become food for that Huntian."
Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned, her expression changed slightly, and she looked up and said, "Progenitor, what do you mean by that?"
"You don't need to worry about these things. During this period, don't show yourself around anymore. That Source Ancestor cunning and treacherous. If he senses anything, he might even make plans in advance. We'll talk about everything after I'm resurrected!"
The voice spoke, and then the light on the Fire Crystal subsided.
Ying Xiaoxiao's expression changed slightly. She glanced at the Progenitor, and finally, she gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and left the main hall.
Time flies.
The Saint Dao Discussion Assembly is not far off.
Li Hao continued to roam the Heavenly Realms, refining the All Heavens Star Meridian while absorbing the Principle and condensing his sacred body Dao Bone.
Previously, his Dao Bone were shattered, but now Reforging. Under the Ninth Dan of the Imperial Dao, he draws in numerous Principle and integrates them into his body. Li Hao's physical body is becoming increasingly formidable, gradually approaching the ultimate level of the Dao Inquiry Realm.
Wandering in the mortal world, Li Hao's many Art Skills were also improved.
However, the greatest improvement was seen in Poetry and Books Dao.
In his spare time, Li Hao would recite the Daoist Dao Scripture feeling, and every word and phrase contained a wealth of experience in Poetry and Books Dao, surpassing all the poems and lyrics Li Hao had copied and recited before.
Moreover, the bottleneck Sixth Dan and Seventh Dan of the Daoist Poetry and Books Dao was easily overcome when faced with the Dao Scripture.
Li Hao could sense that this Dao Scripture way to the root of the Great Dao, and even spoke of the Heavenly Dao!
If one can fully comprehend and understand all of this, one's mind and nature will be as supreme as the Heavenly Dao, looking down upon everything in the Mortal World.
Perhaps the one who wrote this timeless masterpiece rode away on Azure Ox, untouched by Mortal World Merit and Fame and fortune, because all vanity and pleasure, all talk of honor and disgrace, were meaningless to him.
He did not worship Monarch, transcended worldly order, and remained detached from the controversies of saints. His State of Mind was in harmony with the Great Dao, and worldly affairs did not taint him.
Li Hao brought up the Panel Attributes.
Path of the Physical Body 10th Dan, Imperial Dao 9th Dan, Sword Dao 9th Dan, Movement Method 6th Dan, Path of the Fist 6th Dan.
In terms of Art Skill: 10th dan in Painting Dao, 9th dan in Cooking, 8th dan in Chess Dao, 8th dan in Poetry and Literature and calligraphy, 6th dan in Musical Rhythm, 5th dan in Sculpting, and 6th dan in Angling.
Art Skill Point Remaining: 12 points.
The experience gained from Poetry and Literature has progressed from the original 6 levels to the Seventh Dan level, and even reached the Eighth Dan, thanks to the experience gained from the Dao Scripture!
Li Hao originally planned to start with Musical Rhythm and Angling, taking the opportunity to break through to the 7th level, so that his Movement Method could be improved.
Now that Poetry and Literature have become so popular, Li Hao directly incorporated the Seventh Dan State of Mind from Poetry and Literature into his Body Movement Dao.
Then, they began adding points.
Soon, his Body Movement Dao also reached the Eighth Dan, second only to the Entering the Dao- level Movement Method!
This level of movement Movement Method is only one step behind many Sages; even some Sage who are not skilled in Movement Method are only at the Eighth Dan level.
With the help of the Eternal Dao Domain and Swordsmanship, Li Hao felt that he was now able to barely catch up with some of the Three Tribulations Saint.
If one can elevate their Movement Method to level 9, thus Entering the Dao the Movement Method, they would be considered to be at a slightly above-average level even among Sage.
The specifics depend on the movement techniques and Divine Ability Movement Method mastered.
The Dusk World.
Inside the Sacred Land pavilion on Saint Peak in a sacred site.
With a snap, the black piece landed, blocking the White Stone's escape route.
Dressed in brocade robes, resembling a refined young nobleman, Li Hao smiled.
"You flatter me, Night Ancestor."
He wandered through the mortal world and strolled freely through the Heavenly Realms, incidentally meeting acquaintances from these Flower Wandering Society along the way.
Since he became a saint, others have stopped calling out to him as often, seemingly worried about offending him. So Li Hao would take the initiative to meet with them and catch up on old times.
Li Hao remembered their kindness in coming from afar to cheer him on.
"I never knew you actually knew how to Chess..."
Night Ancestor looked at the Go Board with a complicated expression, but finally gave a bitter smile.
That Qing Jiu kid also said he liked Chess, but after a few games, he played terribly.
He had assumed Li Hao was the same, just interested, especially after learning Li Hao was only 28 years old during the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, he had even less hope.
After all, to have reached this level of cultivation at the age of 28 is already incredibly terrifying, let alone having the leisure to play Chess —how is that even possible?
Their confident start was thwarted by Li Hao's decisive strike.
"Your Chess Dao Go is among the highest I've ever seen."
Li Hao chuckled.
Night Ancestor's Chess are even slightly better than Hong Yue's.
Night Ancestor smiled wryly and said, "You're still so young, yet you've already cultivated to this level. You're not like us old folks. Perhaps it was a mistake to Flower Wandering Society look for you back then. If you had been given more time, you would surely have become Supreme Saint in the Future!"
As he said this, a glint of light appeared in his eyes as he looked at Li Hao.
The Supreme Saint holds the highest position in Heavenly Realms, free from all constraints. Unless one seeks death or provokes all the Supreme Saint in the Heavenly Realms, it is difficult for them to perish; they will only wait for the end of their lifespan, but that period is extremely long.
"Cultivation can be done anytime, but the joy that is missed can never be found again; even the Supreme Saint cannot reverse time."
Li Hao smiled slightly.
Night Ancestor was slightly taken aback. Looking at the young man's carefree face, his eyes flickered. He suddenly fell silent and said in a low voice:
"You seem a little different from us; you've truly let go."
Although the members of the Flower Wandering Society mainly focus on having fun, they all have their cultivation in mind. However, they are somewhat lax because they have no hope of advancement, but if given a real opportunity, they will definitely seize it.
Night Ancestor understood this, but he could sense that the young man before him was not like that; he had truly let go.
Perhaps this State of Mind is the biggest difference between us.
Upon hearing Night Ancestor's words, Li Hao remained noncommittal. He believed that to the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, besides comprehending the Heaven and Earth, one also needed State of Mind that could let go of worldly concerns.
The Supreme Saint of the Heavenly Realms could never receive it because they were bound by their own Sacred Dao. Even if they reincarnated to cultivate, they would still be swept up by worldly affairs and continue on the Great Dao of cultivation that millions of people flock to, going against the current and striving upwards.
Thus, it's as if I've embarked on that path again, only the fork in the road is slightly different from the one in my previous life.
The reason he could have this feeling, besides the Panel that he didn't have any great ambitions and was naturally easygoing, was that he had no ambitions.
"The Dao Discussion Assembly is coming up soon, so be careful."
As if he had just thought of something, Night Ancestor said to Li Hao.
Li Hao knew his worries, smiled, and said, "You'll all be there then, right? We can get together again."
Seeing that Li Hao had no worries, Night Ancestor smiled wryly and said, "The Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land won't miss such an opportunity. They will definitely cause you trouble at that conference."
"Won't."
Li Hao shook his head, and seeing Night Ancestor's stunned expression, he smiled and said, "I'll find them before they find me."
Night Ancestor was speechless, then smiled wryly, "But the Dao Discussion Assembly is about the Sacred Dao. Although your power surpasses theirs, your foundation in the Sacred Dao is still shallow..."
"We'll see who's better then."
Li Hao smiled and didn't bring it up again.
Seeing Li Hao's confidence, Night Ancestor didn't try to persuade him any further.
Afterward, the two played a few more games of chess, and then Li Hao left this realm.
Before he left, the Netherworld Saint of this Netherworld Sacred Land came to see him off and exchanged a few pleasantries with Li Hao.
Now that Li Hao is Sage, the other party will inevitably have to come out to greet him when he visits.
Because of his connection with Night Ancestor, the Netherworld Saint had no hostility towards Li Hao, and the two had never met before. However, he did not take the opportunity to get close to Li Hao or befriend him.
With the Dao Discussion Assembly imminent, the grudges between Li Hao and the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land are known throughout the Heavenly Realms. Only after Li Hao overcomes this tribulation will he be able to truly establish himself.
After leaving this realm, Li Hao began to wander around again.
Li Hao would seek out people to play Chess, paint, hunt, and Cooking in his spare time. Whenever he arrived in a new world, he would visit the best local restaurants and try their delicacies, reaping considerable rewards along the way.
Although he hasn't found anyone who can rival his Cooking yet, different chefs, like different Swordsman, each have their own style, which has given Li Hao a lot to think about.
"Old Feng, we haven't gone Angling in a long time. We still have a month left, how about we go fishing in the wild?"
Li Hao returned to the Thief Heaven Sacred Land and extended an invitation to Old Feng.
He had mastered the Fishing Dao long ago, but his mind was distracted by other things, causing him to Fishing Dao at level 6. Li Hao planned to take this opportunity to break through to level Seventh Dan.
In that case, his Path of the Fist could also be raised to the Seventh Dan.
Feng Boping learned that Li Hao had been traveling around aimlessly, meeting old friends and sampling local delicacies. He was already familiar with Li Hao's personality and felt rather helpless about it, but he didn't say anything.
Li Hao was like this in the Mortal World, but that didn't stop Li Hao from becoming the most outstanding Prodigy.
"Okay, it's been a long time since I've been in this mood, haha."
Feng Boping smiled and agreed, not worried about the Dao Discussion Assembly a month later.
Having witnessed Li Hao's progress in condensing the Sacred Dao, he felt that even if Li Hao were to debate the Dao with the Buddhist Sect, he wouldn't lose; on the contrary, he might even win.
"Does Old Feng know any good Fishing Ground?"
Li Hao inquired.
Feng Boping laughed and said, "Angling is possible throughout the Heavenly Realms. I know a good spot; I'll take you there."
Upon hearing this, the image of the Sword Master flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he said, "Would you mind having one more fishing buddy?"
Feng Boping was surprised, but knowing that Li Hao seemed to know some Half-Saint, he smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. Since we are like-minded, just invite us to come along."
"Then wait for me, I'll go ask if he's free."
Li Hao spoke, he left the Thief Heaven Sacred Land and arrived at the Azure Wave Realm.
Upon the Azure Wave Realm, Li Hao's eyes flickered, but instead of going to the Buddhist Sect, he went straight to the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.
Li Hao's arrival startled the Sword Saint. He stepped out of the Courtyard and into the high sky, where he saw Li Hao who had come to visit.
"Lord Haotian?"
The Sword Saint's eyes flickered slightly when he saw Li Hao, as if he had thought of something, and he said in a low voice, "Are you here to see her?"
"Um?"
Li Hao was puzzled; how did he know he had come to find the Sword Master?
"I apologize for the intrusion; I have come to see the Sword Master. I wonder if he is in residence?"
Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting.
Now that he has his current status, if he comes to another Sacred Land, he must pay a visit first, otherwise it would be considered an offense.
The Sword Saint was slightly taken aback, not expecting Li Hao to be seeking the Sword Master. Remembering how the Sword Master had spoken up for Li Hao and stood up for him during the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, his eyes flickered, and he Dark Dao:
"After all these years, Senior Brother, your judgment is still the best."
Thinking this to himself, he remained calm and said, "He's here, but did you just come to visit him?"
Upon hearing this, Li Hao immediately thought of Lin Qingying and said, "I'd like to meet some other friends. Would that be convenient?"
The Sword Saint assumed Li Hao was referring to Bian Ruxue, since he knew that Bian Ruxue was Li Hao's fiancée, and their relationship was far closer than just "friends."
"If you wish to see Xue'er, you'll be disappointed; she has already been reincarnated."
"Sword Saint said, while also observing Li Hao's expression. If the other party still has feelings for Bian Ruxue, he could use this relationship to get closer to Li Hao."
"Um?"
Li Hao was taken aback, and it took him a moment to realize who he was talking about.
"Oh."
Li Hao nodded, somewhat surprised that the other party had actually reincarnated. With Sword Saint as his Master, it was clear that he had chosen to reincarnate voluntarily.
Since the other party has not cultivated to the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form Extreme Realm, it is difficult for them to reach the Saint Realm, and reincarnation is an inevitable path.
Seeing Li Hao's calm reaction, the Sword Saint's eyes changed slightly, but the change was extremely subtle. He calmly said:
"The Ultimate Sword that Xue'er sought has been seen in your hands. It seems that her Dao Heart has encountered a problem. In this reincarnation, she did not return to the Lands of the Saints, but chose the Mortal World. Therefore, I have no time to take care of her. Only when she reappears in the Lands of the Saints one day will I be able to sense her Aura."
The Ultimate Sword... Li Hao's eyes flickered as he thought of that girl under the setting sun, her head tilted back, her face full of hope and reverence as she spoke of her aspirations to him.
I thought of the girl's earnest expression before that campfire in the wilderness.
He shook his head and smiled slightly. The Ultimate Sword, in his own hands? Nothing more than that; it doesn't really qualify as the Ultimate.
After all, his Sword Dao hadn't even reached the Tenth Dan, so how could he dare say that his swordsmanship was the Ultimate Swordsmanship?
"A reincarnation in the Mortal World... May she be at peace."
Li Hao said that he didn't have any ill intentions towards that girl, but he also had no feelings for her anymore. The Little Tail of their past correspondence had long since been severed.
The Sword Saint paused for a moment, then said, "I heard she's your fiancée. You're not married yet. Have you let go of her feelings?"
Li Hao glanced at him; it seemed this Sword Saint knew quite a lot.
He shook his head and laughed, "That Betrothal Non-Self what she and I wanted. Besides, it was only for this Betrothal. Now that she has been reincarnated, the next life is a matter for the next life. Furthermore, the one who is Betrothal to her is Li Hao, what does it have to do with me Haotian?"
The Sword Saint froze, scrutinizing Li Hao, not understanding the meaning behind his last words.
But he understood what was said earlier, and he suddenly recalled the resolute look in the child's eyes before his reincarnation.
The other person wants to reincarnate, seeking a Dao Heart to verify whether this life was truly a mistake.
But he could clearly see that even in his reincarnation, the child still had lingering reluctance in his eyes, as if trying to grasp something through reincarnation.
Unfortunately, after she was reincarnated, even the last vestige of her Betrothal with him was nullified.
For a moment, the Sword Saint remained silent, not uttering a word. After a long while, he said, "She Dao Heart, but she is still too young. Even though we are strangers, I hope you will not blame her."
Li Hao knew that he was worried that Li Hao harbored resentment, but he was clearly overthinking it.
Thinking of the girl's face, he couldn't help but sigh. Time changes, Years play tricks, a broken mirror can never be mended, and childhood days can never be returned to.
Life is like a journey, and I am but a traveler. I only hope that our first meeting will not disappoint those who are sincere.
Li Hao said softly.
The Sword Saint glanced at Li Hao, knowing that Li Hao had put his mind at ease, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This was perhaps the best outcome for both of them.
He said, "The Sword Master probably wants to see you too, please."
Li Hao nodded, cupped his hands in farewell, and headed towards the Sword Tower.
"What are you talking about with the Sword Saint for so long?"
Sword Cliff, the Sword Master saw Li Hao arrive, but did not turn around; he simply chuckled.
Beside him, two Sword Attendant wearing bronze masks stared at Li Hao in astonishment before quickly bowing in respect.
When Li Hao came here before, they guided Li Hao and took him to the Sword Tower to hang paintings. Now, when they meet again, in such a short time, he has actually become an equal to their Master and Sage!
Li Hao's deeds spread throughout the Heavenly Realms, and they naturally all heard of the young man's terrifying and Prodigy.
Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the two of them didn't need to be so polite. He then came to the Sword Master and, seeing that he was only meditating and not Angling, said, "Let's chat casually. Do you have time? Shall we go fishing together?"
The Sword Master raised an eyebrow, saying irritably, "The Saint Dao Discussion Assembly is in a month. Aren't you planning to participate? The Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land will definitely use this opportunity to kill you!"
"It's alright, I'll wait for them."
Li Hao chuckled.
The Sword Master was slightly taken aback and looked Li Hao up and down. Although he had seen Li Hao's methods before, the Sacred Dao had only just gone through the Human Tribulation, and its foundation was still too weak compared to the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land.
"Besides them, they might also invite their old friends to join the fight. You need to think it through."
The Sword Master was worried about Li Hao and feared he might be careless, so he gave him earnest instructions.
Li Hao smiled and nodded, telling him not to worry.
If the other party were to find someone else to discuss the Dao with him, Li Hao would be pleased, as this would be a good opportunity to overcome the Human Tribulation of the Ultimate Dao and the Incense.
As long as the three powers rotate and are not displayed simultaneously, others will not think that he can cultivate the three saints at the same time. They will only think that he uses the Source Ancestor restriction method to isolate the Sacred Dao and can only use one of them at a time, just in rotation.
However, using them in turn is completely different from using them simultaneously.
Seeing Li Hao so relaxed, the Sword Master didn't say anything more. He immediately gave his two disciples some instructions and then asked Li Hao where he was fishing.
Seeing that he was interested, Li Hao smiled and asked him to wait a moment. Then he spread his senses, sensed Lin Qingying's Aura, and immediately teleported Past.
Lin Qingying, who was practicing her sword in the Courtyard, was startled when she saw Li Hao suddenly appear. She breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was Li Hao, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
Why are you here?
As Lin Qingying spoke, a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes, but she was always aloof and reserved, and although she was happy, she still appeared quite quiet Wenrou.
Li Hao laughed and said, "I've come to see you. Has your Master been released yet?"
Lin Qingying's smile widened as she said, "They've already been released."
At this moment, an Aura quickly teleported over from not far away. It was a beautiful woman dressed in a moon-white robe, who looked mature Wenrou. She said to Li Hao:
"This must be the Lord Haotian. Yun Yue pays her respects to the Lord Haotian."
She was Half-Saint, and although she was older than Li Hao, in the Martial Dao world, cultivation level was the most important factor.
"You're welcome."
Li Hao greeted her with a smile, then turned to Lin Qingying and said, "Are you free? Want to watch me fish? I'll take you out for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingying replied without hesitation, "I'm free."
Yun Yue opened her mouth slightly but said nothing, only smiling silently.
Li Hao smiled when he saw Lin Qingying agree. He then found Lin Shan Hai, greeted the old man, and left with Lin Qingying.
The Sword Master saw Lin Qingying and nodded to her.
Lin Qingying quickly bowed, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Where to?
"I asked the Sword Master."
"Come with me."
Li Hao kept everyone in suspense.
He then released the power of the Sacred Dao, enveloping Lin Qingying and carrying her across the rift between Heaven and Earth, returning to the Thief Heaven Sacred Land.
The Sword Master followed along all the way to the Small Thousand Realm, his expression unchanged, without any worries, and then followed Li Hao into the Thief Heaven Sacred Land.
When Feng Boping saw the Sword Master that Li Hao had brought back, he was stunned for a moment. Then he remembered that the other party had spoken up for Li Hao in the previous Supreme Heaven Pride Battle, and he smiled and nodded at him.
"Even the Lie Heaven Saint is here?"
Li Hao was somewhat surprised to see that Lie Heaven Saint was also beside Old Feng.
Lie Heaven Saint rolled his eyes at Li Hao and said, "I heard you're going fishing. I happen to be free too. Speaking of Angling, you've come to the wrong person. You should be looking for me. In Heavenly Realms, my Angling skills are second to none!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Boping and said, "Speaking of which, I was the one who taught him this."
Upon hearing this, Feng Boping's face darkened, and he said irritably, "Stop talking. Even if you say that, someone has to believe you."
Lie Heaven Saint snorted and said, "We'll let the facts speak for themselves later!"
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then thought of Lie Heaven Saint's methods, which would be quite suitable for Angling.
What they said was probably not an exaggeration.
He couldn't help but laugh and said, "The more people, the more lively it will be. Old Feng, shall we set off?"
"Sure, is this girl coming along too? You've got quite a few female admirers around you."
Feng Boping glanced at Lin Qingying and teased Li Hao.
Lin Qingying's cheeks flushed slightly. She could feel that Li Hao was protecting her with his Sacred Dao Aura at all times, so even among the Sage, she didn't feel much pressure from Sage.
At this moment, she also saw that this Sage she once revered had another side, just like an ordinary person.
Feng Boping didn't say anything more and immediately led the way.
Li Hao also released Evening Primrose. She was interested in everything, so Hong Yue told her to stay in the Sacred Land. If she went with them, she would suffer. She wasn't interested in Angling either; to an outsider, Angling was an extremely boring and unpleasant activity.
"The place we're heading to is the Heavenly River in the Crooked River Realm, which is an excellent Fishing Ground."
Feng Boping said.
Upon hearing this, the Sword Master's eyes flickered, and he nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's quite good. I've been there to try and draw a few swords before."
"Shall we have a competition to see who catches the most?"
"I'm quite interested," said Lie Heaven Saint.
Feng Boping coughed lightly, but didn't respond.
As the group soared into the sky, time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month Past.
Pairs of eyes secretly searched for Li Hao and his group's whereabouts, and Li Hao didn't try to hide it, so news of his movements quickly reached the eyes of some interested people.
When they learned that Li Hao was traveling around sightseeing and had even invited the Sword Master and the Thief Saint to go Angling in the Heavenly River, both the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land fell silent.
With the Dao Discussion Assembly imminent, Li Hao was wandering around aimlessly, seemingly unconcerned, clearly as if... he had no intention of participating!
"That guy must have sensed the danger. If he hadn't come and missed this opportunity, it would have been much harder to kill him later!"
Secret Hall Buddhist Sect, Green Lantern Buddha and the Buddha Lord had furrowed brows.
At this critical juncture concerning the Future of the Buddhist Sect, such a potentially formidable enemy cannot be eliminated quickly, making it impossible to achieve inner peace in spiritual practice.
"I've observed his weapon before; it's Fragment of Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon. He must be lacking in Heaven and Earth Treasures to feed that weapon. When he went Angling in the Heavenly River, he was most likely after the Divine Water Dao Fish there. Those are creatures nurtured by Heaven and Earth and Heavenly River, and they can also feed the Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon."
The Buddha Lord said in a low voice, "Since he has discerned our intentions and is unwilling to come, then we can only use another method. Ask those old friends to give them the Heaven and Earth Treasures as a reward for our discussion!"
The Green Lantern Buddha remained silent for a moment before saying, "The Source Ancestor will be preaching. Such a grand event is unlikely to be missed by him. When he sought out the Source Ancestor before, outsiders only thought he was asking about the cultivation methods of the Three Saints. But perhaps during that meeting, he found the Source Ancestor's protection and is only waiting for the Ancestor of Source Ancestor before coming back, so he can just listen without discussing the matter."
"In that case, we should provoke him even more. Five Heaven and Earth Treasures are enough to tempt anyone, aren't they?"
The Buddha Lord took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice.
The Green Lantern Buddha glanced at him and said, "Notify the Void Sacred Land and see what their plans are."
The Buddha Lord nodded.
As time went by, changes occurred in all the Sacred Land throughout the Heavenly Realms, and many Sage handed over their affairs and left their respective Sacred Land.
Meanwhile, many of the Half-Saint within the Sacred Land had already made arrangements for their affairs, and the numerous disciples within the Sacred Land were all aware that the grand event of the Lands of the Saints was about to begin.
