Eternal Dao Heart, Heaven and Earth Nine Resonances

As the bell tolled, many people suddenly opened their eyes and looked at the boy standing before the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell.

That young man, with his own Dao Heart, stirred up the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell, actually striking it a fourth time—was it Heaven Grade Dao Heart?!

Many people's expressions were no longer calm, and their eyes narrowed slightly.

"Heaven Grade Dao Heart... it seems he harbors great ambitions!"

"To aspire to establish Divine Dynasty and protect all people is merely Profound Grade Dao Heart; to spread teachings for eternity is merely Earth Grade Dao Heart. Only by standing shoulder to shoulder with Heaven and Earth and aspiring to pursue the Eternity Immortal Dao can we condense a Heaven Grade Dao Heart. Only Eternity is the Ultimate."

Saint Luo, Winter Blade, Chen Baoyu, and the others who had spoken with Li Hao earlier all had solemn expressions. They hadn't expected that this newcomer would actually possess Heaven Grade Dao Heart, which was a level higher than theirs. This meant that while they were still pursuing the goal of spreading the Dao for thousands of years and enlightening all people, he had already resolved to pursue the Eternity Immortal Dao, which was Eternity and Undying Realm!

They all vaguely sensed that this newcomer was a formidable Future competitor.

Indeed, upon arriving here, the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage is right before their eyes. Although they appear friendly on the surface, they are secretly vying for power, after all, this is the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage, and only one person can inherit it!

The others were all competitors. With such temptations before them, some people even tried to frame other Sage who showed Prodigy in the early days, but after being taught a lesson by Old Wang, no one dared to do so again. They could only strive to improve themselves.

Just as many people were memorizing Li Hao's appearance, suddenly, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell trembled again, followed by the Five Daos chime!

When--!!

The sound of the bell, like a morning bell and evening drum, resonated deeply in everyone's hearts.

The onlookers' eyes narrowed, a look of shock appearing on their faces. What was going on?

The fifth chime?

The Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow; four chimes are already the ultimate, how could there be a fifth?!

While everyone was shocked and stunned, Old Wang, who was standing not far away on the grassy slope, was also slightly taken aback. Then his eyes suddenly lit up and his face showed a look of surprise.

The Five Daos tolled? He knew that the Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow, corresponded to the four levels of Dao Heart, but the Heaven Grade Dao Heart was not the pinnacle.

The Immortal Dao lineages were gathered and sealed here from Heavenly Realms. No one knew that behind the Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow, there was also the Chaos Dao Heart, the Eternal Dao Heart, and the supreme Heavenly Dao Emperor Heart, which only the Immortal Emperor could control!

If the Heaven Grade Dao Heart is Dao Heart that rivals Heaven and Heaven and Earth, then the Chaos Dao Heart is one that transcends the River of Time, condenses the Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow, and possesses the Conviction to create a new world.

The Eternal Dao Heart is not about pursuing Eternity Undying Realm; such pursuit is for the weak. The Eternal Dao Heart has no pursuit; it condenses eternity into a single moment, becoming Eternity itself and content with its own heart. Mastery everything, sees everything directly, and is the Supreme ruler of Heaven and Earth!

As for the Heavenly Immortal Emperor 'Heavenly Dao Emperor Heart, which only Immortal Emperors possess, Old Wang didn't know either; it was State of Mind that he couldn't even imagine.

Amidst the astonishment of the crowd, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell continued to vibrate, and the sixth chime rang out.

The Old Wang stroked his beard and smiled, nodding repeatedly. The Heaven and Earth Hong Bell resounded four times, corresponding to the Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow.

The Chaos Dao Heart will resound three times in a row after the four resounding sounds, making it a total of seven resounding sounds!

As for the Eternal Dao Heart, it is Ten Rings!

The Heavenly Dao Emperor Heart cannot be measured by the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell, nor can anything in the world prove it.

Soon, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell rang seven times. Everyone was somewhat numb and turned to look at Old Wang in shock. At this moment, they even doubted that there was something wrong with this artifact. Surpassing the Heaven Grade Dao Heart was already incredible, but it rang three times in a row, crossing three levels? Was this possible? They couldn't imagine it.

"Don't be surprised, this is the Chaos Dao Heart, capable of striking the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell seven times."

Old Wang, sensing the incredulous looks from everyone, smiled and offered words of comfort.

Upon hearing Old Wang's words, the crowd was shocked and somewhat bewildered. They had never heard of such a thing before, but clearly, it transcended the Heaven Grade Dao Heart and was State of Mind they could not comprehend.

As the seven chimes faded, Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but just then, the eighth chime rang out.

This time, the smile on Old Wang's face vanished abruptly, his eyes narrowing as he stared at the young man's back.

When!!

Soon, the ninth bell rang out, deafening and echoing throughout the Heavenly Calamity Hall.

Everyone looked at Old Wang with some confusion.

You just said the Chaos Dao Heart has seven sounds, so what about now?

Old Wang stared at Li Hao's back without speaking. As the echoes of the nine rings gradually faded away, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell seemed to slowly quiet down and stop trembling. The fluctuations emanating from it also gradually dissipated.

The Heaven and Earth Hong Bell ceased its resounding beat.

It returned to its original state, hovering in the Void.

Behind Li Hao, a deathly silence fell.

A great bell tolls nine times; nine is the ultimate number in the Mortal World, which is why Imperial Emperor called themselves the "Nine-Five Supreme."

Li Hao actually did it to the extreme, which was somewhat beyond their comprehension.

"I... I didn't hear that wrong, did I?"

"Is this a dream? Nine rings? Old Wang said the Chaos Dao Heart has seven rings, so what is this...?"

Just how high is his Dao Heart?

Everyone was shocked; the newcomer had given them an unprecedented and profound experience.

Old Wang also came to his senses at this moment. He stared deeply at Li Hao, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes. He vaguely felt in his heart that the person he had been waiting for for countless Years had finally appeared.

Nine resounding sounds signify that Li Hao's Dao Heart is Eternal Dao Heart. Although it has not yet reached Perfection, even among Immortal King, only a few possess such Dao Heart.

Old Wang once served by the side of the Immortal Emperor and knew a secret: although the Dao Heart cannot affect actual combat power and realm too much, when cultivation reaches certain bottlenecks, the higher the Dao Heart, the faster the breakthrough. This is an invisible influence!

Furthermore, to reach that supreme imperial throne, one must transcend the Eternal Dao Heart; this is the first Dao Gate!

"Senior."

Li Hao had already returned to Old Wang's side. As he passed by, he caught a glimpse of the shocked looks on the Meditation Cushion from Saint Luo, Chen Baoyu, and the others. Combining this with what they had said earlier, he immediately realized that he might have caused a big commotion and attracted some attention.

He smiled bitterly to himself; this was not what he had wanted. Having just arrived, he didn't want to attract attention too soon.

What is my situation?

Li Hao asked Old Wang with a puzzled look.

The Heaven and Earth, Black and Yellow, should have ended with four sounds, but it ended with nine, surpassing the Heaven Grade Dao Heart by five levels. Isn't that a bit exaggerated and outrageous?

Old Wang back at Li Hao's puzzled expression, Wang Lao smiled broadly and said, "Don't be too surprised, child. Heaven Grade Dao Heart is just the starting point for becoming an immortal. Above that are the Chaos Dao Heart and the Eternal Dao Heart. You currently possess the Eternal Dao Heart."

As he spoke, he explained the Dao Heart and the sound of the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell once more.

Everyone on the Meditation Cushion listened intently, and when they heard Old Wang's words, they all suddenly understood. It seemed that he had only surpassed the Heaven Grade Dao Heart by two levels.

However, this is in contrast to the previous speculation, and upon closer examination, it is indeed a very frightening thing.

"The Chaos Dao Heart, the Eternal Dao Heart!"

"This is the first time I've heard of this; Old Wang has never mentioned it to me before."

"They probably think it's impossible for us to reach that level. After all, only a handful of people have Heaven Grade Dao Heart right after arriving here. As for the Chaos Dao Heart, what kind of State of Mind is that? Isn't being on par with Heaven and Earth enough?"

"Eternal Dao Heart, could it be the pursuit of Eternity? If so, then it seems no different from Heaven Grade Dao Heart."

The crowd discussed the matter, their eyes all fixed on the young man, temporarily setting aside their previous thoughts about cultivation.

Hearing the crowd's discussion and seeing their complicated expressions, Old Wang knew that this matter had a great impact on them. If he didn't explain it clearly to these youngsters, their distracting thoughts would affect their future cultivation.

He was in a very good mood and said with a smile, "This Eternal Dao Heart is not about pursuing Eternity, but about the heart being Eternity! You will gradually understand the difference. However, for you, the most important thing right now is to strive to pass the test. The Dao Heart is just a threshold, too far away for you."

His words were meant to comfort and advise, but they didn't sit well with the others.

Clearly, Old Wang had already concluded that it was impossible for them to achieve it, and that trying to figure it out was pointless and a waste of time.

"My heart is Eternity..."

The Herding Saint's eyes flickered as he murmured to himself, "What constitutes Eternity?"

The other Sage were also lost in thought. Old Wang ignored them and instead said to Li Hao, "Come here, I will teach you Immortal Method. Given your current situation, Undying Immortal Art are definitely out of the question. This Ninth Grade Mixed Origin God Blood is fixed and cannot be improved. Even if you try to cultivate it through Immortal Method, you won't be able to achieve it. You will only need to use your physical body during the second trial."

Upon returning to the Thatched Cottage, he wasn't in the mood to leisurely sit down and rock back and forth in the Reclining Chair. He said to Li Hao:

"With the strength of your Primordial Spirit, you should be able to master the Yama Immortal Technique very soon."

Li Hao nodded and said, "I'd like to try Yanluo and Myriad Daos."

Since his physical body is not here, he cannot cultivate the Undying Immortal Art. However, once he has thoroughly understood Yanluo and the Myriad Daos, he can obtain the Undying Immortal Art and store them in his Panel. When he has the opportunity to leave this place, his physical body can then be used.

"Oh."

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Old Wang did not blame him for being arrogant. Instead, he asked with great interest, "It seems you are quite confident in your skills. What kind of path do you cultivate?"

"Sword Dao."

Li Hao said.

Is there Path of Sacrifice?

Old Wang.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded.

Old Wang laughed. He was capable of Path of Sacrifice, no wonder he was so confident. However, compared to Li Hao's Primordial Spirit, even his ability to Path of Sacrifice was somewhat lacking.

However, he didn't try to persuade or stop him. After all, being able to Path of Sacrifice was enough to show that Li Hao had extremely high Heavenly Talent Sword Dao, so choosing the Myriad Dao Immortal Art wasn't wrong.

"You should consider it carefully. If you choose to cultivate both, I have no doubt that you can master them, but your mastery speed will be slowed down. You arrived later than them, but here there is no distinction between early and late, nor is it based on the time spent cultivating. Whoever passes the three tests first can go to the Heavenly Calamity Hall to receive the Immortal Emperor's test of becoming Registered Disciple."

Old Wang said, "Their progress is currently fastest; they're already in the second step, and they'll be out of there soon. You need to hurry."

Li Hao nodded slightly, understanding the situation.

The Herding Saint, Bright Saint, and others in the distance also heard Old Wang's words. Their eyes were filled with complex emotions, but they quickly regained their composure and realized that this newcomer was no ordinary person. They felt a strong sense of urgency from Li Hao.

If we don't keep speeding up, we might be overtaken by this newcomer.

This is the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage. Even if one only obtains the status of Registered Disciple for the time being, one can become an extremely dazzling existence after leaving this place and heading to the True Realm.

Soon, they all closed their eyes, forcing themselves to calm down, discarding distracting thoughts, and immersing their minds back into their previous contemplation.

Saint Luo, Winter Blade, and the others also felt the urgency. They glanced at Li Hao and then immediately began cultivating.

Although they are only at the first step, no one is willing to give up until the very last moment.

In front of the Thatched Cottage, Old Wang raised his hand and touched Li Hao's forehead, saying, "I will first teach you the Yama Immortal Technique, which is Immortal Method specifically for condensing the Primordial Spirit. It also contains three Primordial Spirit combat techniques, specifically for slaying evil souls and Ancient Demon!"

Li Hao suddenly felt a surge of information flooding his memory, as if it were something he had already grasped, only to suddenly recall it.

The Yanluo Battle Method has three levels, but Old Wang only taught the First Layer.

Once the First Layer of cultivation is Perfection, the process is considered complete.

This First Layer has three types of Primordial Spirit combat techniques: "Yanluo Outer Image," "Yan Blade," and "Di Luo Shield Technique"!

The first two are offensive tactics, while the third is defensive, capable of withstanding the opponent's attacks in Primordial Spirit battles.

Li Hao absorbed the knowledge very quickly. His understanding of the Imperial Dao Tenth Dan had reached a level comparable to a parallel line. He could easily absorb and comprehend anything below that level.

He quickly absorbed the cultivation methods for the three combat techniques.

"This is the Myriad Dao Immortal Art. You can choose the Sword Dao. By using the Sword Dao to break through Myriad Daos and achieving Perfection, you will pass the level."

Old Wang spoke, another set of Immortal Method was transmitted through his fingertips.

Li Hao slowly accepted the instructions. The Myriad Dao Immortal Art included swords, axes, spears, and so on; one only needed to choose one and cultivate it to Perfection.

Li Hao chose the Sword Dao Immortal Method, and he quickly absorbed and understood it based on his insights from the Tenth Dan of Sword Dao.

He didn't rush to bring up the Panel to check; he simply nodded and looked at the Old Wang:

"If we're going to cultivate, is it on those Meditation Cushion over there?"

"That's right, those Meditation Cushion cushions are made from the bark of the Enlightenment Tree, which can increase your chances of sudden enlightenment."

Old Wang said to Li Hao, "Remember not to be greedy."

But after saying that, he chuckled and shook his head. With Jiu Xiang's Eternal Dao Heart, he would never be greedy for such a thing.

Li Hao nodded and pretended to come to the Meditation Cushion.

As Li Hao arrived, many Sages had calmed down still heard Li Hao footsteps and sensed his Aura, and opened their eyes to look at Li Hao.

But he quickly frowned, cursed himself inwardly, and continued to close his eyes and ponder, banishing distracting thoughts.

Li Hao found a Meditation Cushion to sit on, then looked around and saw that the Sage around him were all diligently cultivating with their eyes closed. He smiled slightly and brought up the Panel to check.

Soon, among the many Cultivation Method on the Panel, the two Immortal Method that had just been added were found:

Immortal Method: Yanluo - Withered Silence (True Intention Perfection)

Immortal Combat Techniques: Yanluo Outer Image (True Intention Perfection), Yan Blade (True Intention Perfection) Di Luo Shield Technique (True Intention Perfection)

Upon seeing the display, Li Hao smiled. Combining the three battle techniques he had mastered in his mind, which he had used for hundreds of years, he was extremely familiar with them and only needed to demonstrate them personally.

"This Yama Immortal Technique has three levels. The First Layer is Withered Silence. The Imperial Dao Tenth Dan can directly bring its True Intention to Perfection. If one breaks through Perfection, one will reach the 'Origin' level."

True Intention, Origin, Ultimate.

These are the three levels of the Immortal Dao, each with an entry level and a Perfection level.

Li Hao had previously reached the Tenth Dan of Sword Dao, which meant he had mastered the most basic Great Dream Nine Abyss Sword Art, "Immortal Guides the Way," to the Origin level, increasing its power several times over and making it extremely terrifying.

"Even if it were just about the Path of Sacrifice, one might not be able to cultivate it to Perfection. The main reason is that the Panel has Tenth Dan, which not only involve the Path of Sacrifice but also absorbing all the insights from those Tenth Dan. If one were to cultivate on their own, it would take countless Years."

Li Hao's eyes flashed. With his understanding of the Tenth Dan First Layer of the Yama Immortal Technique Imperial Dao, he could only grasp the first level of the Yama Immortal Technique, "Withered Silence," to the level of True Intention Perfection, not the level of Origin. This was only the First Layer of this Immortal Method, which showed how high the grade of the complete Immortal Method was. It would probably be a very famous Immortal Method in the True Realm.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hao looked at the Myriad Dao Immortal Art.

Myriad Dao Immortal Art Sword Dao (True Intention Perfection)

As he had envisioned, he also reached the level of True Intention Perfection.

If he were to demonstrate his abilities to Old Wang now, he should be able to proceed directly to the second stage of the test.

However, Li Hao was not in a hurry. This second test was definitely more difficult than the first one, so he decided to find out more first.

His Imperial Dao Tenth Dan and Tenth Dan of Sword Dao are both the culmination of his past efforts. If the second Third Step are even more difficult, and the Tenth Dan of Sword Dao and Imperial Dao Tenth Dan are not enough, he will have to hurry up and cultivate, and find a way to break through the Tenth Dan bottleneck in Painting Dao, Path of Cooking, and Path of Carving Way.

I just don't know if if I add points to Eleventh Dan, I can directly become True Immortal.

After thinking for a while, Li Hao left the Meditation Cushion and went to the front of the Thatched Cottage.

"What, are you finding it difficult?"

Old Wang was sitting in his rocking chair, swaying back and forth. Seeing Li Hao arrive so quickly, he couldn't help but chuckle and say:

"This is Immortal Method, different from what you've cultivated before. It's normal that you find it difficult. Although I have high hopes for you, I can't break the rules. I can only teach you the Immortal Method; the rest is up to you to figure out on your own. I can't control or Mastery these things."

His words were quite clear: if he were to show favoritism and give special treatment to those who were studying, then the Registered Disciple would be chosen by him, rendering the trials left behind by the Immortal Emperor meaningless.

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Li Hao didn't explain, but simply asked out of curiosity:

"Senior, I just want to ask, what is the second test?"

Old Wang raised an eyebrow. If it were someone else, he would think it was a bit too ambitious. They had only just grasped the first step and were already thinking about the second.

However, he didn't think so of Li Hao's previous Dao Heart; he only believed that Li Hao had other ideas, and said:

"This first test is to assess your comprehension and aptitude. The second test is similar. After all, to become Registered Disciple of the Immortal Emperor, one must possess extraordinary comprehension. Otherwise, those Emperor-Grade Immortal Arts that shake the True Realm will be impossible to comprehend without sufficient aptitude and comprehension; even if they were right in front of you, it would be like reading a book from heaven."

"This second test will examine your practical combat skills. I will create clones of you, inheriting all the techniques you have mastered, and enhancing them by a factor of two!"

He said with a smile, "In other words, you must defeat a version of yourself that is twice as strong as you!"

Li Hao was stunned, somewhat taken aback, and couldn't help but ask, "The same in every way? And twice as strong?"

"That's right. Given the overwhelming disparity in strength across all aspects, let's see how you manage to break through this crisis and demonstrate your resourcefulness in a desperate battle!" Old Wang said.

Li Hao was speechless; this test was far too extreme.

"This is just a test for Registered Disciple, it's not that difficult. Back in the day, the True Disciple of the Immortal Emperor had a three-fold power difference, that was true despair, they were basically killed instantly upon the first exchange!"

Old Wang said with a smile.

Li Hao was speechless. Defeat himself with three times the strength? There was indeed no way he could win.

"What about the third test?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask, somewhat curious.

Old Wang smiled slightly and said, "The third test is still comprehension!"

"You need to break through to become True Immortal, condense Immortal Seal, and prove your own Immortal Dao with Heaven and Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, you must reach the Three-Seal Immortal Dao. This is the minimum requirement. Moreover, compared to the previous trials for the Immortal Emperor's Registered Disciple, the conditions have been relaxed now, with no time limit. In the past, it would have been difficult if it had been within Three Thousand Years."

Although Li Hao was somewhat prepared, he was still taken aback.

This third test is actually that you must become True Immortal!

"What is the Three-Seal Immortal Dao?" Li Hao asked.

Old Wang smiled and said, "I'll explain in detail after you pass the second test."

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't press further. He just sighed inwardly, not expecting these three trials to be so difficult. Judging from what the other party said, it was clear that becoming True Immortal was not enough; one had to be among the best.

This also means that even if he passes the first test now, it will be meaningless, as he has not tried the second test and has no confidence in it.

The third step requires studying techniques such as Painting Dao.

Li Hao didn't delay any longer. There was always a chance that more Ancient Demon at the True Immortal Realm could enter through the breach outside. Besides, Old Feng and the others were probably grieving over his death, so he had to get back as soon as possible.

He returned to the Meditation Cushion, opened the Heaven and Earth Space, and took out the Drawing Board. He had to choose one of the three Tenth Dan skills he currently possessed, and he couldn't spread his skills too thinly.

While searching for Drawing Board and other materials, Li Hao saw the Flower Wandering Token in the Heaven and Earth Space. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and with a try-it-out mentality, he submerged his consciousness into the Flower Wandering Token.

But soon, an obstacle appeared, blocking his consciousness.

"Flower Wandering Token?"

Just then, a surprised voice came from the side.

Li Hao turned his head and saw a young man with flowing long hair, wearing a loose long robe, and wearing a butterfly flower ornament on his head. He was looking at the Flower Wandering Token in his hand with surprise.

How did you come to know the Flower Wandering Token?

Beside her, another female saint spoke.

She had a beautiful face, elegant manners, and her clothes were trimmed with Golden Thread, making her look quite luxurious.

"You recognize them?"

When Li Hao saw the two of them, his heart stirred, remembering what Zhan Tan had once said.

"This was made by us. Are you perhaps from the Flower Wandering Society?"

The handsome young man, adorned with butterfly and floral ornaments, inquired gently.

"So you two are the Flower Saint and the Wandering Saint."

Li Hao suddenly realized that the two saints who founded the Flower Wandering Society, Zhan Tan had said, had long since disappeared without a trace. They hadn't shown themselves even when the Heavenly Realms were bustling with activity. He never expected them to come here.

"The Flower Wandering Society still exists!"

The female saint looked surprised, then her expression brightened with joy and a smile. She asked Li Hao, "I am Wandering Saint. How shall I address you?"

When Li Hao arrived earlier, the two of them were meditating. It was only after Li Hao made the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell nine times that they noticed him, but they had no intention of striking up a conversation or making friends. It wasn't until Li Hao took out the Flower Wandering Token that they sensed this familiar Aura and suddenly felt a sense of goodwill towards Li Hao and wanted to get closer to him.

Li Hao was stunned. He had thought the young man was Wandering Saint, but it turned out... the other party was Flower Saint?
