Spatial origin fourth level
In the Chess Dao, Heaven and Earth and earth are the board, and the sun, Sun, Moon, and Stars are the pieces.
The vast, extending space can accommodate All Things in Heaven and Earth.
What is space?
It seems empty yet not empty, it seems to exist yet not exist, it seems to be nothing yet not nothing.
All is empty, yet all is not empty.
Li Hao suddenly felt a sudden, Sudden Enlightenment realization, his mind buzzing.
His experience as Tenth Dan- Chess Dao was already at the Path of Sacrifice, but he still couldn't defeat Old Wang. When his opponent got serious, his moves were unpredictable and often turned the tide of battle with a single divine move. It seemed that his opponent could always see positions and gaps that Li Hao couldn't see.
At this moment, Li Hao suddenly realized something.
The space he could see was different from the space his opponent could see; that was the reason for his defeat.
"Old Wang, have a plate, please."
Li Hao extended the invitation.
Old Wang was stunned, gave a slight bitter smile, and was about to say a few words of advice when he saw Li Hao's solemn expression, staring at the Go Board with an unprecedented light in his eyes. The words he had just opened his mouth suddenly went back down his throat.
He nodded slightly and said, "I'll take this game seriously."
After saying that, he and Li Hao simultaneously picked up pieces, choosing to go first with black and white.
Li Hao then focused intently on the opening moves.
"Um?"
Upon seeing Li Hao's move, Old Wang's expression changed instantly, revealing a hint of surprise.
This move is cleverly placed, leaving him plenty of room to maneuver, making him much more flexible than before. How could this kid's chess skills have improved so much in such a short time?
Moreover, it seems like he just had some kind of enlightenment... but we were just talking about cultivation.
Old Wang felt a slight sense of unease. To draw parallels from cultivation and comprehend the Chess Dao? How much love must one have for it to make such a connection?
He suddenly felt a pang of guilt, unsure if urging Li Hao in this way was the right thing to do. But when he thought of the True Realm, of his own chance to leave, and of the countless benefits that formal disciple would bring, he put aside these distracting thoughts.
"Old Wang, it's your turn."
Li Hao said.
Old Wang snapped out of his daze, glanced at Li Hao's pieces, and then made his move.
But after placing his piece, he suddenly let out a soft "hmm," and his expression changed slightly.
He realized that the move Li Hao had just made was not as simple as it seemed, but rather concealed a very deep path.
Upon seeing Old Wang's move, Li Hao's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly made his own move.
Old Wang's expression changed; one wrong step and he was targeted by Li Hao.
But he didn't give up. He quickly turned the tables, and based on his previous experience playing against Li Hao, he knew that if he got serious now, he still had a chance to win.
However, as he maneuvered, Li Hao pressed on relentlessly, blocking all his paths with the hidden pieces he placed.
On the Go Board, there are only two winding Jiaolong -like paths that determine the outcome of the game.
Old Wang felt his throat was a little dry. He stared at the Go Board, his expression changing repeatedly. All his moves had been accurately predicted by Li Hao and nipped in the bud, making him realize that his chances of winning were slim.
One wrong step, and the whole game is lost!
"You win."
Old Wang withdrew the Chess Piece from his fingertip, his expression complex, and said to Li Hao.
His gaze remained fixed on the Go Board, as if still searching for a way to win, but eventually he slowly raised his head and looked at the boy in front of him.
His expression seemed to convey a mix of relief, regret, and genuine admiration.
As Old Wang conceded defeat, Li Hao saw a huge amount of Chess Dao experience points appear before him, amounting to tens of millions.
At the same time, he also reached the Tenth Dan Chess Dao level in Go.
[Congratulations, you have grasped the Origin True Heart of Chess Dao.]
My Chess Dao has been raised to Eleventh Dan!
As his Chess Dao improved, a sudden, resounding bell seemed to ring in Li Hao's mind.
Immediately afterwards, countless vast Dao Thought fell like snowflakes, flooding into his mind.
His mind seemed to have entered a constantly swirling world, where the surrounding heaven and Heaven and Earth Whispers, and ethereal figures, like Immortal Deity, danced and practiced true techniques.
He vaguely felt the space around him shatter and then come together again, and saw himself transformed into an infinitesimal grain of sand, within which there was a magnificent and majestic Divine Dynasty, with countless inhabitants living in it.
The Chess Dao embodies the Origin Great Dao of space.
Li Hao suddenly understood.
When this legacy vanished like an illusion, the Go Board and Old Wang's figure reappeared before Li Hao's eyes.
At the same time, Li Hao saw a new attribute appear on the Panel in front of him.
[The Chess Dao: Eleventh Dan (Spatial Origin Third Level)]
[State of Mind: Origin True Heart (1)]
Through the Myriad Paths Record, Li Hao learned that the Myriad Dao Origin has Tenth Layer realms.
However, only Immortal Emperor can master the highest level, the Tenth Layer.
The Void Saint Ancestor Xu that Li Hao had previously encountered, whose path to Sacred Dao was based on space, were only at the entry level of the Space Origin, not even reaching the first level of the Space Origin.
Once one reaches the first level of the Space Origin, one can use the Origin True Heart of Space to condense Immortal Seal and become True Immortal.
The Origin Third-Level Realm are something that even some Immortal Lord have not reached, and in the True Immortal Realm, they are Myriad Worlds.
Li Hao was pleasantly surprised to comprehend the Space Origin through the Chess Dao. At the same time, he vaguely sensed that many of the Art Skill attributes that his Panel could collect seemed to have hidden meanings.
"We still need to further understand the Time Origin."
Li Hao's eyes flickered.
His gaze, however, swept over the other Art Skill on the Panel.
Angling, Sculpting, Painting Dao, Cooking, Musical Rhythm, Poetry and Literature.
"Cooking... maybe it will allow me to understand the Fire Dao Origin..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. He had already passed the Tenth Dan the Path of Cooking and mastered the Primal Chaos Divine Fire, which could roast the flesh of Ancient Demon into delicious food. If he could advance further in the Primal Chaos Divine Fire, he would reach the Fire Dao Origin.
The Painting Dao... Brush and Ink...
"Angling..."
Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as his gaze fell on his own Painting Dao, which had reached the Tenth Dan.
The Painting Dao Mastery the brush and ink. If one uses Heaven and Earth as a canvas and the Great Dao as a brush, then mountains and rivers are all landscapes painted by the river.
The highest good is like water.
The Daoist scriptures Dao Scripture to mind, and Li Hao suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
He suddenly stood up, turned around quickly, and ran towards the Meditation Cushion.
Old Wang was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had seen Li Hao so actively heading towards the Meditation Cushion, and he suddenly felt a sense of tenderness and emotion.
But soon, he saw the boy run to the Meditation Cushion, choose an empty Dao Comprehension Cushion to sit on, and then raise his hand to conjure a canvas in mid-air.
Then, using his fingers as a brush, he freely splashed Great Dao across the canvas.
Old Wang: "..."
He had long known that Li Hao was not only skilled in Chess Dao, but also in Painting Dao.
When Li Hao was drawing the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell in front of the Meditation Cushion, Old Wang had already noticed it.
But to my surprise, the other party's enthusiasm for Painting Dao was no less than that for Chess Dao.
It's time to start cultivating... Old Wang smiled bitterly to himself, but he didn't urge Li Hao. If Li Hao really didn't want to work hard, he wouldn't force him. After all, even formal disciple weren't enough to move Li Hao's heart. If he continued to force him, the cultivation effect might not be satisfactory.
At this moment, Li Hao's mind was completely absorbed in the Painting Dao.
The Heaven and Earth Hong Bell leaped onto the canvas, suspended in mid-air. The canvas slowly disappeared, leaving only the great bell.
It looks like a projection refracted from the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell.
But it exudes the Aura of the Great Dao, and seems poised to tremble at any moment, causing a great roar that shakes the Heaven and Earth.
"Not enough..."
Li Hao stared intently, then casually waved his hand, before drawing again.
Previously, on the second floor of the True Venerable Tower, he comprehended a deeper meaning of illusion and reality in a desperate situation.
When emptiness reaches its extreme, it becomes void; when void reaches its extreme, it becomes reality!
When solidity reaches its extreme, it becomes the Earth Origin, capable of bearing All Things.
Li Hao, as if possessed, continuously drew in the Void with his fingers.
His fingertips contained the Supreme Gentleness Great Dao, extending like ink, leaving black marks in the Void —tiny cracks in space as if his fingers had torn them open.
Soon, the second painting, depicting the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell, was completed.
But it still lacks a certain flair.
Li Hao waved his hand away and continued painting the third, the fourth...
Not enough, still not enough!
A hint of madness flickered in Li Hao's eyes; he had long forgotten which painting he was working on.
When the painting he envisioned most appeared, Li Hao stopped painting, and for a moment, the world seemed to be at peace.
Li Hao stared blankly, then burst into maniacal laughter.
Perfection.
At this moment, from his current perspective, this painting is Perfection.
Suddenly, a wealth of Painting Dao experience appeared before my eyes.
When Li Hao came to his senses, he immediately saw that his Painting Dao had also improved to the Eleventh Dan.
The bottleneck that had been built up by previous experience has now been broken.
Congratulations on grasping the Origin True Heart Painting Dao!
The Painting Dao has been upgraded to Eleventh Dan!
At the same time, the same insights as before about the Chess Dao flooded into his mind, falling like countless snowflakes and surrounding Li Hao.
He returned to that enlightenment-like journey, where countless figures danced and practiced the true Dharma for him.
After a long while, when Li Hao came to his senses, he saw that the attributes on the Panel had changed.
[The Painting Dao: Eleventh Dan (Water Dao Origin Second Level) (Earth Dao Origin Second Level) (Spatial Origin Fourth Level)]
[State of Mind: Origin True Heart (2)]
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, somewhat shocked and taken aback, but the Great Dao inherited in his mind would not deceive him. At this moment, he had a deeper understanding of the Water Dao Origin and the Earth Dao Origin, far beyond what he could achieve before.
But to Li Hao's astonishment, the Space Origin had actually reached the Fourth Layer!
Only Immortal Lord can comprehend this.
Li Hao looked at the Chess Dao he had previously been on.
The Spatial Origin Third Level, which then became Fourth Layer.
It seems that the two are related rather than added together, otherwise it would be absurd.
Li Hao withdrew his gaze from the Panel Attributes and carefully felt the enlightenment he had just experienced, as well as the Dao Thought he had inherited.
Within the Painting Dao, there are two Water Dao Origin, two Earth Dao Origin, and one Space Origin.
Paintings also need a sense of space and blank space.
Li Hao closed his eyes, silently sensing and absorbing the essence.
Meanwhile, the other Sage on the Meditation Cushion all stared wide-eyed at Li Hao, completely taken aback by Li Hao recent outburst of madness.
Li Hao was so engrossed in painting that he was completely unaware of his surroundings. When he finished his last painting, it shook the Great Dao Origin, awakening the other Sage were deep in cultivation and enlightenment. Even the Dao's protective power could not block the influence from this place.
When they saw the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell floating in mid-air, they were somewhat stunned.
By all accounts, this Heaven and Earth Hong Bell was unmistakably genuine, but they knew there could never be another Heaven and Earth Hong Bell here.
Moreover, this Heaven and Earth Hong Bell doesn't even seem to be a drawing by Li Hao; it's a real object, and it's even functional!
"Haotian, he..."
"He drew this? Holy crap, what level of skill is this?"
"That's outrageous! Has Haotian not even started cultivating yet? Is he still preoccupied with painting? If he used that time to cultivate, wouldn't he have already seized the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage?"
Everyone was awestruck by this Heaven and Earth Hong Bell. Compared to Li Hao's previous paintings, they were merely amazed, but this Heaven and Earth Hong Bell seemed like a real artifact!
At this moment, Old Wang, who was far away, arrived at this place without anyone noticing.
He stared at the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell painted by Li Hao. After a long while, his eyes narrowed slightly. Then, he turned to look at the young man sitting cross-legged on the Dao Comprehension Cushion with his eyes closed, and an extremely complicated expression appeared in his eyes.
In his previous Chess Dao, Li Hao had not yet been able to demonstrate the power of the Space Origin, but now, on this painting, there are traces of the Water Origin, the Earth Origin, and the Space Origin that cannot be concealed.
To use these three Dao Realm in a single painting is, undeniably, an extremely extravagant display of talent.
At this moment, Li Hao slowly opened his eyes and immediately heard the voices of the crowd discussing.
He looked up and saw the great Heaven and Earth Hong Bell, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Hearing the exclamations of those around him, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth slightly. This feeling was even more exhilarating than defeating a hundred Sage in a row.
When asked about his profound artistic realm and top-tier combat prowess, he merely smiled slightly. However, when it came to the Perfection of his paintings and the exquisite artistry of his Painting Dao, it became difficult for him to suppress the urge to smile.
"It is merely my humble work. Gentlemen, who would like to try and use this resounding bell to prove their Dao Heart?"
Li Hao spoke, chuckling softly.
Although it was a self-deprecating remark, everyone could see the smugness in the young man's eyes, leaving them speechless for a moment.
However, Li Hao's words made them realize something, and they were somewhat surprised and doubtful. What did he mean? Could he use this drawn bell to verify their Dao Heart?
"I'll give it a try."
Soon, someone stood up; it was Saint Luo.
He was somewhat eager to try it out; whether it was true or not, he would find out by trying.
Could the painted Heaven and Earth Hong Bell truly possess the effect of a real Heaven and Earth Hong Bell?
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Saint Luo arrived before the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell painted by Li Hao and began to prove his Dao Heart.
The surrounding Great Dao power suddenly drew in and gathered around the great bell, and then a Heaven and Earth roar resounded from beneath it!
Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with horror.
Especially those among the crowd, several Sage skilled in crafting weapons, were utterly astonished.
At that moment, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell rang out.
Two sounds, three sounds, four sounds...
The Heaven and Earth Hong Bell resounded four times, Heaven Grade Dao Heart!
Saint Luo arrived here, he only had Earth Grade Dao Heart, but his Dao Heart had already undergone a transformation.
As the echo faded away, everyone looked at Li Hao, speechless with shock.
You must know that this Heaven and Earth Hong Bell is a treasure left behind by the Immortal Emperor. Its grade is unknown, but it is definitely not an ordinary object. Li Hao was able to draw it and it even has the same effect. Isn't this ten or a hundred times faster than refining a weapon?!
Moreover, crafting weapons requires gathering materials, while this painting was completed in a single stroke.
Li Hao noticed that the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell was becoming slightly more ethereal, and knew that it would dissipate after a few more uses.
Moreover, the Heaven and Earth Hong Bell he painted only possessed less than one-tenth of the effect of the real Heaven and Earth Hong Bell, and could only ring four times. If he were to test his Dao Heart, it would dissipate on the spot.
But that's enough.
Li Hao smiled at Old Wang. Seeing Old Wang, he immediately guessed that the other party might have seen traces of the Great Dao Origin through the painting. He was not surprised. He was in a great mood and prepared to play a few more rounds with Old Wang to warm up before starting to condense the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal!
