Heading to the True Realm

Seeing such dazzling Incense, Li Hao felt a mix of emotions.

Upon arriving in the Heavenly Realms, he found this place completely unfamiliar. Having lived in the Mortal World for over a decade, he had long regarded Mortal World as his "home."

He fought his way through the Heavenly Realms, defeating all Heavenly Realms Supreme Heavenly Prodigy and slaying Sage, his power dominating the Heavenly Realms. But Li Hao's heart remained in the Mortal World, always resting on the edge of the Great Yu Dynasty, in that fortified city, in that small fenced courtyard.

There, amidst the rising smoke of fireworks, old friends kept each other company, Angling in leisure time, and painting in quiet moments, life was truly delightful.

He had no affiliation with the Heavenly Realms, but previously, the gap in the True Venerable Tower, and the five years of surging Incense...

And now, this Incense rainbow bridge makes Li Hao truly feel that he has merged into the Heavenly Realms, and that this is his second "home".

The emotions contained in the Incense surpass all words.

Li Hao took a deep breath and accepted the Incense. Although the Incense within his body had already reached the pinnacle of the God Realm, they still continued to accumulate and fall. Li Hao found it hard to imagine what level and qualitative change he would reach if he continued to accumulate even more Incense after reaching the Incense God Realm.

The Source Ancestor had long since reached the Incense God Realm, yet he continued to collect Incense for many years. His purpose was clearly not as simple as blocking the path of other Sage.

"That place isn't Forbidden Zone, but rather fortuitous opportunity?!"

"I see."

"My God, why didn't I Past sooner?"

Who could have predicted this?

Inside the majestic palace of the Sacred Land, Feng Boping and the others inquired about Li Hao's experiences. When they learned that he had fallen into the depths of the Double-Seam Demon Valley, not only had he not died, but he had also obtained fortuitous opportunity to ascend to the status of True Immortal, they were all shocked and delighted for Li Hao.

Li Hao did not elaborate on the matter of the Heavenly Calamity Imperial Palace. This was not because he did not trust Old Feng and the others, but because his identity was special. He was the only disciple of that Immortal Emperor. If Old Feng and the others knew his identity, it would only bring them harm and no benefit.

No wonder---

Feng Boping and the others looked at Old Wang, and then noticed the Flower Saint, the Wandering Saint, and others that Li Hao had brought back.

"Isn't this... Lin Sheng?"

Suddenly, the Saint Mitian looked over in surprise, his eyes wide with astonishment.

Lin Sheng had already noticed the Saint Mitian. Seeing his shocked expression, he simply smiled and said, "Long time no see."

The Saint Mitian exclaimed in surprise, "You've already become Supreme Saint? In less than ten thousand years!"

Lin Sheng smiled wryly, "Don't even mention age. Compared to the woman beside you, I'm utterly ashamed."

The Saint Mitian was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle, exclaiming, "He's a monster, but you seem to have also obtained quite a fortuitous fortuitous opportunity."

Lin Sheng just smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

Flower Saint and Wandering Saint were also recognized. They exchanged pleasantries with everyone, but avoided mentioning anything about what happened inside the Forbidden Zone.

Several days later.

After the gathering ended, Feng Boping worried, found Li Hao and said:

"Since all the true Immortal Capital of the Heavenly Realms have been killed, and there are so many powerful forces behind them, won't they be investigated?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's alright. When they come after us, even Immortal Lord will retreat."

In the past few days, he had consulted with Old Wang, Old Wang said that he would reinforce the various Profound Gate and build an Immortal Array Profound Gate. Even if Immortal Lord rashly entered, he would be killed and could only leave by respectfully begging.

Having spent 100,000 years in the Forbidden Zone, Old Wang had figured out many things to an extremely profound degree.

The Immortal Array is one of them.

Chess is like a battle formation, and a battle formation is like chess.

Seeing Li Hao's confidence, Feng Boping breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Li Hao was not an arrogant person and must have been absolutely certain of success to act this way.

"Old Feng, do you know where the God Race are?"

Li Hao inquired.

He hadn't forgotten the Imperial Hall's entrustment; of his three Personal Disciples, one had perished completely, while the other two's Soul Core remained intact.

If Li Hao can find Ying Xiaoxiao and confirm that she is indeed the God Daughter Shi Miao, Li Hao will send her to the Imperial Hall instead of choosing to harm her.

"God Race --.-"

Feng Boping shook his head slightly and said, "Since the calamity came, only the God King has appeared. Only the God King knows the whereabouts of God Race Clan. In these five years of waiting for you, we did think of the God Race, but we searched everywhere and found no trace of them."

"When the God King was sealed away, the God Race went into hiding, unknown to Heavenly Realms. If the God Race wanted to hide..."

It's very difficult to find.

Li Hao was somewhat helpless; that was true, the God Race had indeed learned to hide their abilities.

After saying goodbye to Old Feng, Li Hao found Old Wang and explained the matter to him.

"Do you know Shi Miao is?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Old Wang, who had maintained a calm and smiling demeanor throughout, almost jumped up, looking at Li Hao with excitement:

"Really? Are you sure?"

"Only by finding it can we confirm it."

Seeing his ecstatic expression, Li Hao found it amusing and couldn't help but laugh.

"Oh oh--"

Old Wang also came to his senses and suddenly realized that he had been so happy in front of Li Hao, which made him a little out of line. But seeing Li Hao's smiling face and that he was not angry, he felt a sense of relief. After all these years together, this young man had always been as indifferent as a chrysanthemum in his heart.

"Let me look for it."

"Old Wang said, and then closed his eyes."

Li Hao immediately felt a strong Law Power surrounding his body. This force enveloped his body and then seemed to isolate him from the Heaven and Earth, forming an independent domain. This domain was profound, with Principle extending outwards, merging with the Heavenly Dao Power in the outside Heaven and Earth like veins.

As it continuously emitted its immense pressure, Li Hao stood quietly outside and waited.

A moment later, Wang Lai opened his eyes. The Law Power around him had not subsided. He asked in confusion, "The person you mentioned seems to be no longer in this realm."

Li Hao was stunned. Before he could say anything more, Old Wang said, "Let me look again."

Then he closed his eyes again, and among the Immortal Dao Laws surging around his body, the light of the Sun, Moon, and Stars appeared, as if he were standing in an independent Starry Sky.

As the Star and Moon revolved, countless rune-like powers swirled around. After a moment, Old Wang opened his eyes, his brows furrowed tightly.

"I didn't find it, but I seem to have found traces of time fluctuations. It seems what you said is true. However, the other party may have gone to the True Realm now."

"True Realm?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then said, "But the Profound Gate has always been guarded."

"The Heavenly Realms have more than just that one breach. Outside a Profound Gate, there are traces of time fluctuations. Perhaps someone possessed a portion of the Shi Miao God Daughter's power and traversed through there. If what you say is true, the person you saw was likely the Reincarnated Body of the Shi Miao God Daughter. When faced with danger, perhaps a tiny fraction of her power Awakening, allowing her to escape—"

"Old Wang said in a deep voice."

Li Hao's eyes flickered as he thought of Ying Xiaoxiao's voice and smile, and asked, "If she regains her identity as the Goddess of Shi Miao God Daughter, will she still be my friend?"

"It's hard to say, but the memories of her Reincarnated Body shouldn't disappear unless she's reincarnated again."

The Old Wang said, "But now that the Reincarnation has collapsed, all reincarnations are Pseudo-Reincarnation, not true reincarnations."

"Pseudo-Reincarnation?"

Li Hao was stunned.

Is there a distinction between genuine and fake reincarnations?

Old Wang shook his head, but didn't elaborate. It involved some terrifying secrets that only Personal Disciple of the Immortal Emperor could know, otherwise knowing would not benefit Li Hao.

"If we're going to the True Realm, then the only way to search for it is to go True Realm as soon as possible."

Old Wang was solemn and serious. He said, "While there are still traces of those time fluctuations, I can still barely detect them. The longer the time passes, the less likely I am to find them. According to you, the opponent is only at the Saint-Level. In a place like the True Realm, I'm afraid—"

"If she is reincarnated, even if she regains her former self as the God Daughter Shi Miao, she may not remember the memories of this life."

"And if it's reincarnation, who knows where it will be reincarnated to."

Li Hao sensed his urgency and understood Old Wang's feelings.

He fell silent for a moment. He had thought he could find Ying Xiaoxiao in the Heavenly Realms and send her to the Imperial Hall, but now he had to go to the True Realm immediately.

He just got back and wanted to spend more time with Old Feng and the others.

Seemingly sensing Li Hao's thoughts, Old Wang said, "If you want to accompany your friends, you can ask them what they think."

If they're willing, we can bring them along to the True Realm and help them out along the way."

"That's true."

Li Hao's heart stirred, and he immediately found Old Feng, Lin Qingying, and others, and summoned them all.

"You're planning to go to the True Realm?"

Feng Boping and the others were somewhat surprised by Li Hao's words, but not too astonished.

After all, given Li Hao's Heavenly Talent, the Heavenly Realms were far too small for Li Hao.

Now that Li Hao is True Immortal, it is natural for him to venture into the wider Heaven and Earth of the True Realm.

"If you want to go, I'll go too."

Before Li Hao could explain the reason for such urgency, Feng Boping spoke directly.

The Sword Master smiled, maintaining his refined and casual demeanor, and said, "I didn't go to the True Realm before because I wanted to look after your body. I planned to go in a few years. Now that you're alright, we should also go and explore the True Realm, so we won't suffer such injustice again."

His words reminded everyone of the oppressive aura of the three True Immortal earlier, and a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.

Having experienced the Ancient Demon Cataclysm, the Li Hao's Fall, and the suppression by True Immortal, the continuous oppression has stirred a strong fighting spirit in them, even those who initially intended to give up. They now want to cultivate and Mastery of their own Destiny.

"I'm not going, old man. I'll stay here and look after the house."

The Saint Mitian smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Come and have tea with me when you're tired and come back."

Since what happened back then, his interest in cultivation has waned.

I want to go.

Lin Qingying spoke to Li Hao with an extremely determined look in her eyes.

Li Hao sensed the determination in her eyes and said softly, "It's too dangerous there."

"I'm not afraid of any danger as long as I can see you."

Lin Qingying looked up and stared directly at Li Hao.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll come back once I find a friend there."

Lin Qingying shook her head slightly, as if she had already made her decision and would not change it.

Others also voiced their desire to go to the True Realm.

Red Light, Lin Shuhai, and the others had only just reached the Half-Saint Realm, but they also wanted to go to the True Realm to see what it was like. They looked at Li Hao with a mixture of apprehension and hope.

Seeing that they were all willing to go, Li Hao nodded and said:

"Then let's go together."

As soon as Li Hao made the decision, the whole audience cheered.

The next day, Li Hao, together with Old Wang, led everyone to the True Realm.

Apart from Old Feng and the others, Bright Saint and Herding Saint did not plan to go to the True Realm immediately. After they came out, they quickly found out about the situation outside and learned that with their strength, they would have many opportunities to go to the True Realm in the future.

Having missed the chance to befriend Li Hao in the Forbidden Zone, they fear that even traveling together now will not yield much progress. Besides, having been away from the Heavenly Realms for too long, they all wish to stay in their hometown a little longer.

As for Flower Saint, Wandering Saint, and others, as Li Hao's Immortal Guard, they are required to stay by Li Hao's side unless Li Hao orders them to stay and guard.

As they set off, Half-Saint and those at the Dao Inquiry Realm from various Sacred Land came to bid them farewell like Shan Hai.

With the departure of the saints, Half-Saint are now the top experts in each Sacred Land, capable of presiding over the Sacred Land.

Starry Sky Ancient Hall, Li Hao and Old Wang arrived together.

Eight Half-Saint are guarding this place, receiving Immortal Deity from the True Realm. They have also received news that Li Hao and his companions are heading to the True Realm.

"The Saint Haotian!"

"Greetings, Saint Haotian!"

Upon seeing Li Hao, the eight Half-Saint all rose and respectfully bowed, with some even performing a grand salute in their Half-Saint forms.

During the previous Ancient Demon Cataclysm, Li Hao turned the tide and saved the Heavenly Realms. This event spread throughout the Heavenly Realms over the past five years, and countless people witnessed the tragic scene of the young man perishing together with the Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm in the forbidden Forbidden Zone through projection.

In various Sacred Land throughout the Heavenly Realms, Sculpture of Li Hao have been erected for his disciples to worship.

Li Hao bid them farewell, and then, together with Old Wang, along with the Sword Master, Old Feng, and many other figures, headed towards the True Realm.

Upon arriving in the True Realm once again, the desolation before my eyes came into view, but unlike my previous visit, I saw the figures of True Immortal rushing towards me on their swords in the distance.

Previously, Li Hao had instructed Old Wang to kill a group of True Immortal who were causing trouble in the Heavenly Realms. However, there were still many forces in the True Realm, including some True Immortal Rogue Person not independent. They had all heard about this Pseudo-Realm and knew that the Heavenly Palace had opened up this place. They all wanted to come to this ancient battlefield Forbidden Zone to explore and take a look at the Immortal Emperor Pseudo-Realm.

"Tell them to wait a moment, I'll set up the formation here."

Old Wang said to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded, and then led Old Feng, the Sword Master, and the others to rest and wait on the side.

Old Wang raised his hand and condensed rays of light, like silver talismans, into the base of Immortal Array in the Void.

"Is this the True Realm?"

Feng Boping and the others looked around, surveying the place. It was their first time here, and they felt a great sense of novelty and surprise.

This True Realm was more desolate and dilapidated than they had imagined.

Li Hao explained the reason to them, and they then realized that this was an Ancient Battlefield.

At this moment, True Immortal flew in from afar on a sword, traversing the Ancient Road and canyon, and landed outside the Profound Gate.

"Huh? A bunch of Saint-Level?"

The four True Immortal descended, their previously concealed True Immortal Power now slightly revealed. Their eyes swept over Li Hao and Feng Boping, and they discovered that Li Hao was True Immortal Realm, but only at the True Immortal First Level.

"They're only at the True Immortal First Level, and they're already recruiting people?"

The young True Immortal sensed Li Hao's cultivation level, raised an eyebrow slightly, and swept his gaze across the area, immediately landing on Lin Qingying.

He sensed an extremely powerful Sword Intent Dao Embryo within the woman's body. That Dao Embryo was incredibly Mystery, seemingly both real and unreal, like some kind of supreme Dao Embryo he had heard of.
