Ancestral Immortal Body

In the passage, the majestic Emperor Sword Mountain floated before the disciples.

Outside Emperor Sword Mountain, there stretched an endless expanse of verdant plains with rolling hills. At this moment, the disciples stood in twos and threes on the hills, all gazing at the towering Emperor Sword Mountain with extraordinary bearing.

Li Hao, Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the other two entered one after another and landed on a hill.

I'm going now.

Yue Xi glanced at him briefly before speaking, then looked past Li Hao and at Gu Yan standing next to him.

Seeing that the other party wasn't looking at her, Yue Xi's eyes flickered, and she turned and flew away without looking back.

Li Hao looked around and observed his surroundings. After seeing many disciples linger for a moment, they rushed towards Emperor Sword Mountain.

As he casually looked around, he noticed that his Junior Little Brother, Gu Yan, was still standing quietly, without making a move.

Aren't you going?

Li Hao asked, somewhat surprised.

"When everyone is competing for it, the difficulty decreases, and even if you win, it's not fun."

Gu Yan said indifferently.

Li Hao was taken aback, then chuckled softly, "Pfft, this is the arrogance of a top Heavenly Prodigy."

But does your mother know that you'll easily get a beating if you talk like that outside?

"Then I'll go first."

Li Hao said this, and then followed the crowd of disciples toward the majestic Emperor Sword Mountain.

Seeing Li Hao's figure fly away, Gu Yan's expression remained unchanged. He simply stared quietly at the Mountain Summit of Emperor Sword Mountain, where he vaguely sensed a gaze also fixed on him.

Soon, Li Hao arrived at the First Layer of Emperor Sword Mountain.

The area is shrouded in Immortal Power Barrier, so from the outside, all that can be seen are the vague outlines of mountains and rivers.

As Li Hao passed through the Barrier, he immediately felt a sudden inspiration. A voice told him that the way to pass the First Layer was to go to the central area, where there was a passage to the Second Layer.

Before him lay a vast, Frontier world. He stood above a forest, and all around him, he sensed only two intense battle Aura.

Li Hao was astonished. From the outside, this Emperor Sword looked only the size of a city, but its interior held a completely Heaven and Earth.

"The power of the Source of Space Dao..."

Li Hao's gaze swept around, and he immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this Emperor Sword Mountain.

Through that subtle sense, he could roughly discern where the central area was, which was also guided by some kind of force.

Li Hao didn't rush to find the central area, but instead headed towards one of the battlegrounds, as he hadn't yet encountered the Spirit Clan.

Soon, when Li Hao arrived at the battleground, he saw a Red-Sleeved Woman fighting against four figures.

"Is this the Spirit Clan?" Li Hao looked at them in astonishment. The Spirit Clan of the True Realm looked no different from Human Race, except that their hair was silver-white and their pupils had a transparent quality, as if they had come from an icy world. Their Aura was also more elusive and obscure, and their use of Immortal Power seemed extremely light and delicate.

At this moment, the Red-Sleeved Woman was struggling to fight, repeatedly using the Immortal Guides the Way, but her Swordsmanship was not yet Perfection, and this sword could not guide her through a path.

Li Hao's arrival was not concealed, and the Red-Sleeved Woman quickly noticed Li Hao figure. When she saw Li Hao's Heaven Yard disciple robes, her eyes lit up with joy, and she hurriedly said:

"Senior Brother, save me!"

The four Spirit Clan also noticed Li Hao. One of the youths suddenly broke free from the encirclement and flew towards Li Hao, intending to restrain Li Hao first.

Li Hao watched their battle for a while and roughly figured out what was going on. The fighting style of the Spirit Clan was more agile and nimble than that of the Human Race, but they seemed to be extremely afraid of death and did not like to fight with brute force. Otherwise, the Red-Sleeved Woman was only at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, and they would have defeated her long ago by joining forces.

"If you want to save people, you'll have to get past me first—"

The young man from the Spirit Clan flew over in an instant, coldly addressed Li Hao, and simultaneously unleashed a blade of light shaped like a deep blue butterfly.

However, before he could finish saying the word "close," Li Hao flicked his finger, and a Sword Qi suddenly shot out, shattering the butterfly blade and piercing through the man's shoulder in an instant, knocking him back.

Then, Li Hao stepped forward and arrived beside the Red-Sleeved Woman. With a wave of his hand, the space trembled, forcing the other three Spirit Clan to retreat.

Seeing the imposing aura that Li Hao exuded with every gesture, the four Spirit Clan were shocked. They exchanged glances and realized that the disciple before them was no match for them.

Moreover, they recognized the Heaven Yard disciple's robes, and knew that the person before them must be Prodigy under some elder.

They didn't linger and quickly turned and flew Past.

Their mission here was to intercept disciples who didn't meet the requirements. Someone like Li Hao, who was clearly not at the First Layer, was not someone they could keep. They retreated without any hesitation.

As the four Spirit Clan retreated, the Red-Sleeved Woman finally had a chance to catch her breath. She also saw Li Hao defeat the four Spirit Clan with a wave of his hand, and he did not unleash any overly powerful Immortal Power, but rather some other method.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother. My name is Hu Hongyao. May I ask how Senior Brother should address me? I will be able to thank you in the future!"

The Red-Sleeved Woman wiped the sweat from her temples, came to Li Hao's side, and said with a look of joy at surviving a disaster.

Looking at her smiling face, which held a touch of innocence and naivety, Li Hao couldn't help but smile as well, saying, "Just call me Haotian. It was nothing. You're a disciple of the Earth Yard, right? This test is a bit too much for you."

Let's just quit.

Hu Hongyao didn't find Li Hao's words hurtful. Instead, she nodded and said, "Well, I'm actually just here to train. If I can observe other Senior Brother fighting, it might greatly improve my skills, after all, we're all from the same lineage—"

She spoke of her little secret, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Li Hao was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. It was rare to encounter such a straightforward woman. He said:

"Then be careful."

Hu Hongyao nodded her head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, then blinked her Xingchen- like, jewel-like eyes at Li Hao and said:

"Senior Brother Haotian, my hometown is Muxin County. There are delicious Clay Figurine Fruit there, and the Zihe Bailuo Flower bloom there every August and September. I'll bring them to you then."

Li Hao laughed and said, "For saving my life, why don't you give me Immortal Pill?"

Hu Hongyao was taken aback, her cheeks flushed instantly, and she said, "I thought you were a Senior Brother of the Heaven Yard, and you wouldn't lack any cultivation resources. If you want, I have 10 Immortal Pill Bodhi Fairy and Immortal Stone here—"—Let me count them first.

As he spoke, he actually intended to carve out his own Heaven and Earth Space and give it to Li Hao.

Li Hao sensed the spatial fluctuations and, seeing that she was serious, waved his hand to stop her, saying:

"Just kidding, I like to eat, so just send me some good food."

"So Senior Brother Haotian is a glutton too?"

Hu Hongyao's eyes lit up, as if she had found a kindred spirit, and she quickly said, "Then I'll look for some for you later. I know several small restaurants with particularly good food."

Li Hao laughed and said, "Okay, you go first, while there are still lots of people here."

Hu Hongyao then remembered the important matter, slapped her forehead and nodded immediately, bowed repeatedly to Li Hao to express her gratitude, and then waved goodbye to Li Hao.

After she left, Li Hao leisurely flew off in a certain direction.

After flying thousands of miles, Li Hao suddenly sensed the Aura three Spirit Clan in a cliff valley.

He released his senses to explore, and saw a smooth, polished spot in the valley where three Spirit Clan were sitting. They were setting up a chessboard, with an old man playing against a middle-aged Spirit Clan member, and a young Spirit Clan girl serving them nearby.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised; these Spirit Clan actually knew how to Chess?

Li Hao Past.

At the edge of the cliff, the two Spirit Clan who were playing chess seemed to sense something. The elder of them glanced into the Void.

He sighed:

"We didn't bother those little guys, yet some of them still showed up here."

The middle-aged Spirit Clan opposite him placed a piece on the board and asked, "Master, we were ordered to guard those disciples. Is it really alright to ignore them here?"

"Didn't you see the chaos outside? The real test is up there. We're just going through the motions here." The old Spirit Clan said calmly, then turned to the woman beside him and said, "Go and chase that kid away. Don't let him get in our way while we're Chess."

The Spirit Clan woman beside him nodded slightly, and then vanished from the spot.

Li Hao is now at the Fourth Layer of the Space Origin Dao. In his eyes, the Return to Emptiness Teleportation is as slow as a tortoise. He can even change the opponent's Return to Emptiness Teleportation path with just a thought, making the opponent teleport to a place that even he is confused about, or change the path to the place where he attacks, so that the opponent is caught off guard and hit directly by him.

But Li Hao wasn't interested in the little girl at the moment; instead, his gaze was fixed on the Go Board.

It was just a fleeting moment of alarm, but his gaze was fixed on it forever.

The chessboard was like a vast net, completely captivating his mind and spirit; the ingenious layout, the intense competition...

This made Li Hao's breathing become rapid.

"Halt! This is not a place for you. Don't go looking for your own death!"

At this moment, the Spirit Clan woman teleported in front of Li Hao. Seeing that Li Hao was still flying forward as if he hadn't seen her, she frowned. At the same time, her whole body exuded a powerful immortal Immortal Power, indicating that she was at the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.

But besides this Immortal Power, her eyes turned a light blue, and the Void around her seemed to flow like water ripples.

Swoosh.

She suddenly made her move, raising her hand and gently pointing a finger. The Void twisted like a vortex, and then, Immortal Power shot towards Li Hao in an extremely Mystery trajectory.

Li Hao seemed oblivious and flew straight Past.

When the Spirit Clan woman saw that Li Hao didn't even try to avoid her, her expression changed, and a hint of Anger appeared in her eyes. She had only wanted to teach him a lesson and make him back down, but he seemed to have no sense of mortality!

She simply didn't bother to hold back and let the blow land.

Boom!

A vortex-like, sharp attack landed on Li Hao's chest. His Ancestral Immortal Body was automatically activated, and a surge of Immortal Power erupted from his body, directly shattering the vortex's power.

Such attacks failed to harm the Ancestral Immortal Body, feeling only like a slight itch.

But Li Hao quickly regained his senses. He glanced at the shocked Spirit Clan woman and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "Miss..."

I meant no offense, I just wanted to watch a game of chess.

This time, the Spirit Clan woman couldn't hear what Li Hao was saying; she just stared at the Human Race in shock.

She and her Master were both imprisoned within the Abyss Master's Domain, their cultivation levels suppressed to the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer. However, she was not actually at the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer; her attack just now would have put even True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer expert at risk of injury.

But the Human Race before him actually managed to stop him with just his Immortal Body?

Even worse, Unharmed!

At this moment, the two Chess also noticed the commotion. Upon hearing Li Hao's words, a look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Spirit Clan Elder, followed by a smile of interest:

"Young man, you know chess too?"

Li Hao looked in the direction of the sound and immediately bypassed the Spirit Clan girl. He used the Dao Resonance of the Source of Space Dao, combined with the Return to Emptiness Teleportation, to...

He appeared before the cliff valley at a speed several times faster than the Return to Emptiness Teleportation, and his movements were untraceable!

"I know a little bit, I apologize for disturbing you both, please continue."

Li Hao cupped his hands and bowed, his attitude extremely humble.

The two exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised that A Ling had failed to stop the Human Race boy.

Moreover, they recognized Li Hao's disciple robes as belonging to one of the top disciples of the Heaven Yard in Sword Abyss.

Some kind of Prodigy?

Both of them smiled. How interesting! Among the Human Race Heavenly Prodigy, there was such an amusing person.

"Alright, then take a look."

The Spirit Clan Elder didn't say anything more and continued Chess with his disciple.

Li Hao stared intently, and when the Spirit Clan Elder placed a piece, he asked:

"Excuse me for disturbing you, senior, where did you place your first move?"

"Oh?"

The Spirit Clan Elder glanced at him, then raised his hand and pointed at the Go Board.

And what about you?

Li Hao looked at the middle-aged Spirit Clan.

The opponent immediately understood Li Hao's idea, and couldn't help but laugh, pointing out where he would place his piece.

Li Hao stared at it for a moment, and countless complex chess moves immediately appeared in his mind, which he used as a basis for calculation.

Both of them could tell that Li Hao wanted to analyze their moves by making initial moves, but this required extremely high skill.

They didn't pay much attention to Li Hao, nor were they worried about Li Hao suddenly launching an attack. After all, if it really came down to it, even Sword Dao Prodigy at the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer could be taken down by them.

How many people can pass this First Layer is up to them.

Apart from the few who had climbed up first, all of them were Prodigy at the Immortal Lord Realm, and they were truly helpless against them.

As the two continued their game, Li Hao watched from the sidelines. The Spirit Clan girl, A Ling, who had previously tried to stop Li Hao, had returned. Seeing Li Hao so engrossed in the game that he seemed to completely ignore her, she glared at him resentfully before speaking to the Spirit Clan Elder:

"Master, your disciple is incompetent and no match for him."

"Yes, it's alright."

The Spirit Clan Elder responded absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on the Go Board.

A Ling looked at the Human Race boy and saw that he showed no signs of wariness. This strange scene in the cliff valley made her feel somewhat absurd.

The other disciples rushed to the central area, either avoiding the Spirit Clan to preserve their strength or quickly defeating them. But this one had run to this most dangerous place, craning her neck to watch her Master Chess.

Three Spirit Clan and one Human Race —putting them together seems absurd no matter how you look at it.

For a long time.

A gentle breeze caressed the cliff face, and this fierce game finally came to an end.

As the last piece was placed, a hint of admiration appeared in Li Hao's eyes.

I thought that Old Wang's Chess were the best I had ever seen, but I didn't expect to meet two other players here who were evenly matched with Old Wang.

Moreover, their strengths were evenly matched, and they fought each other with all their might, making the contest exhilarating to watch.

"A brilliant move!"

Li Hao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The Spirit Clan Elder won the game, a victorious smile and a hint of savoring the moment on his face. Hearing Li Hao's praise...

She couldn't help but glance at him, and said with a smile:

"Can you understand it?"

When he said he could understand something, he didn't mean winning or losing, but rather that he could understand the subtlety of each move.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Barely."

"Oh?"

The Spirit Clan Elder, intrigued, picked up six black pieces and five white pieces from the Go Board, pointed to a spot, and asked Li Hao:

"If I make this move, do you think I still have a chance of winning?"

Li Hao stared intently, countless chess moves converging in his mind. He pondered, "..."

"There's only a sliver of hope. If we make a move here, we'll have to overcome the Dragon Bite here, snatch the piece from its throat, and only then can we break through!"

"But if he senses it beforehand and closes the Dragon Bite, then there's no hope. Therefore, he needs to be here, nearby."

We need to provide cover with both hands.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, both the Spirit Clan Elder and the middle-aged man opposite him were filled with astonishment.

This kid actually knows chess, and his skill level is quite high.

"Funny, fun-"

The Spirit Clan Elder couldn't help but laugh, then waved to his disciple and said, "Get up, I'll play a game with this young man."

The middle-aged man froze, a hint of confusion on his face, and said, "Master, but he's Human Race— "

"What about Human Race? Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, the Spirit Clan and Human Race were allies."

The Spirit Clan Elder spoke, then seemed to remember something, shook his head and sighed, saying, "In the realm of Chess Dao, there is no distinction of race. Young brother, come."

He gestured for his disciple to stand up and for Li Hao to sit down.

Seeing this, Li Hao naturally wouldn't hold back; he had already been itching to play while watching the game.

Both of these players are Twelfth Stage, the same level as Old Wang. If I can defeat them or compete against them, I might be able to touch upon the Dao Heart Realm Twelfth Stage player.

"A Ling, how did you lose?"

The middle-aged man reluctantly got up, walked to the side, and watched Li Hao and his master playing the game of jacks. He then asked A Ling, who was standing nearby.

"His Immortal Body is terrifying."

A Ling glanced at Li Hao and whispered, "With my current attacks, it's difficult to even hurt him."

The middle-aged man was stunned. He was also suppressed to the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer. Although his Dao Realm comprehension was higher than that of A Ling beside him, even the opponent could not break through Li Hao's defenses. If he were to make a move, he was afraid that he might not be able to completely suppress him either.

"But he's only at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer... -.-"

The middle-aged man glanced at Li Hao. Earlier, Li Hao's Ancestral Immortal Body had been triggered, and his Immortal Power was exposed, which even the Myriad Manifestation Attribute could not conceal.

A Ling remained silent and did not speak.

At this moment, Li Hao was completely absorbed in the game, locked in a fierce battle with the Spirit Clan Elder.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of miles away from this cliff valley, many disciples of Sword Abyss were fighting with the Spirit Clan Race, vying to enter the central area.

The Second Layer consists of 50 Demon Race at the True Immortal Realm Sixth Layer.

These Demon Race Bloodlust and ferocious, and soon put pressure on many of the Sword Abyss disciples who had been lucky enough to come here, forcing many to withdraw.

And at even higher places, some figures are also climbing.

Meanwhile, several figures appeared Mountain Summit Emperor Sword Mountain.

As soon as they arrived, they saw that the Mountain Summit of Emperor Sword Mountain was very simple, with only a Thatched Cottage.

Thatched Cottage, there was a pile of stones, with a sword stuck upside down on top.

Outside was a tea table, where a figure in white sat quietly sipping tea.

His hair was a mix of black and white, seemingly weathered by time, yet still retaining a vigorous strength.

Upon seeing that figure, Ji Qingxuan, who was at the head, immediately bowed and said, "Disciple greets Abyss Master."

The middle-aged man before them was Yun Wumian, the Abyss Master of Sword Abyss.

The other three people beside Ji Qingxuan also quickly bowed in greeting.

"Okay, come and have some tea."

The Abyss Master Yun Wumian's expression was as calm as a misty fog, and his textured and magnetic voice invited the four to take their seats.

The group was slightly flattered and sat down in front of Abyss Master to drink tea.

"Elder Li told me that you killed seven Ancient Demon Commander on the frontier. That's right."

Yun Wumian looked at Ji Qingxuan and commented.

Deserving of the Abyss Master, Ji Qingxuan put down his teacup, rose slightly, and cupped his hands, saying, "Abyss Master, you are too kind. The sword has not yet been honed. I hope that this time, while comprehending the Emperor Sword, I can further refine it."

Yun Wumian nodded slightly, then lowered his gaze to the Cloudmist outside Emperor Sword Mountain, seemingly also looking down at the countless figures climbing at the Emperor Sword Mountain.

The entire Emperor Sword Mountain lies within his Immortal Kingdom; Birth and Extinction in an instant, and he knows everything that happens within it.

When he saw the figures struggling to climb and fight on the fifth and Sixth Layer, his eyes were like Cloudmist, calm yet revealing satisfaction.

As time went on, more and more disciples were defeated in Emperor Sword Mountain. They were all teleported out of Emperor Sword Mountain and settled on the plains and Mountain Peak outside. Some recuperated from their injuries, while others meditated and cultivated.

On the hill, Gu Yan, dressed in black sword attire, saw that fewer and fewer disciples were emerging from the First Layer of Emperor Sword Mountain, and he knew that things had returned to calm.

At this moment, he also lifted his foot and flew towards Emperor Sword Mountain.

Meanwhile, Yun Wumian, who Mountain Summit, noticed the proud little fellow and finally took action.

A slight smile curved his lips. With Innate Sword Immortal Body, it was truly remarkable that Old Man Li was able to bring back such a precious gem.

Following his attention to the young man, he arrived at the First Layer Emperor Sword Mountain, and the entire situation of the First Layer appeared in his mind.

There are not many disciples left here; many of the Spirit Clan have gathered in the central area, which means the challenge will be more difficult.

At the same time, an image flashed in his mind of a secluded place far from the center, where several figures were playing together in front of a cliff valley.

"Um?"

When Yun Wumian saw the scene there, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
