"Um?"

Lin Mingrong raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Junior brother, don't speak carelessly. Your Master, Elder Li, didn't seem to mention you just now."

He told me quietly.

Li Hao had no choice but to say, "Senior Sister, you just go your own way. I'll follow you, and I'll take responsibility if anything happens."

Seeing Li Hao's words, Lin Mingrong frowned. She didn't know how to expose such a ridiculous excuse, but since he said he would take responsibility and wasn't a disciple of her Master, she decided not to bother with him anymore.

"Take care of yourself."

She left those words behind and turned to walk away.

After passing through the fragrant Small Courtyard, a servant stood at the door to greet Li Hao and Lin Mingrong.

Behind the Small Courtyard stood a palace resembling Ink Mountain, shrouded in Barrier, where Immortal Power was abundant.

The Dao Power flows; simply standing here, one seems to be able to feel the Great Dao Origin.

As soon as Li Hao stepped onto the long steps outside the palace, he was stunned by the landscape before him.

When he looked up and around, he saw colorful clouds in the sky, a warm but not glaring golden Blazing Sun, and drifting, winding clouds. In an instant, he realized that this was not a palace, but a painting!

Apart from the magnificent palace in front of me, everything around me is a painting!

Li Hao was somewhat surprised by the exquisite painting skills. Although he could also paint dragons, phoenixes and other Demon and give them combat power, the Painting Skill of this perfectly natural world were clearly superior to his own.

"Um.

Lin Mingrong felt the footsteps behind her stop, frowned slightly, and seeing Li Hao stop in his tracks, said:

"It's not too late to regret it now. There's no point in trying to be a hero. You're still young, go back."

Li Hao was stunned. Hearing her inexplicable words, he immediately realized that the misunderstanding in her heart had not been cleared up.

He shook his head and said, "You go first."

As he spoke, ignoring the other person's furrowed brow, he turned and walked towards the pond and trees beside him.

Ripples spread across the pond, and fish swam vividly at the bottom.

But Li Hao could tell at a glance that they were all drawn.

The Falling Leaves on the trees turned yellow, drifting in the wind, swaying and struggling in the breeze, before finally falling reluctantly from the broken branches.

This is also a painting.

The other person's painting already possesses a sense of life.

At this moment, Li Hao was like a devout apprentice, like a sword fanatic who believed in the Sword Dao. Standing in front of the strongest Sword Saint, his heart was filled with surging excitement, amazement, and fascination.

He had reached the Eleventh Dan of the Painting Dao, and could barely sense the skill and exquisiteness in the paintings before him.

It incorporates elements of space, Water Origin, and Earth Origin, and even carries a hint of the Time Origin.

To be able to incorporate so many Great Dao Origin into a painting alone, this Dream Master's strength must be unfathomable and terrifyingly powerful!

Moreover, Li Hao vaguely sensed that the dense Immortal Power surrounding the palace seemed to have been drawn by the other party as well.

If that's really the case, then it's rather defying the heavens.

Li Hao stood by the pool, like a visitor strolling by, peering at the beautiful scenery around him, his eyes filled with amazement and fascination.

And everything in the palace and the Painting Realm was presented in a pair of Ru Meng eyes at the highest point of the palace.

She sat in the elegant pavilion atop the Palace Hall, her face veiled in a thin veil, her eyes sparkling like the aurora borealis, looking down at all the disciples who had entered her Painting Realm. Among them, the boy standing by the pond, looking around, stood out the most.

The astonishment and fascination in the boy's eyes stirred for the first time in those eyes that had been tranquil for tens of thousands of years.

A gentle breeze lifted the light veil on her face, creating the illusion of a smiling curve.

For a long time.

Outside the Palace Hall, disciples from other Nine Abysses arrived one after another in the Painting Realm and entered the palace.

The servants at the palace gates noticed the boy still gazing at the pond in the distance, and with a strange expression on their faces, they went up to him and invited him to the palace.

Li Hao snapped out of his reverie and remembered the important matter. Reluctantly, he followed the attendant into the palace.

The palace was magnificent and enormous, about a thousand feet high. Standing at the entrance, Li Hao felt like an ant crossing into a world of giants, like a speck of dust.

Not far ahead, twelve figures stood with their backs to the camera; together with Li Hao, there were thirteen people in total.

This is also the number of people in the Great Dream Nine Abyss who were able to enter the Ancient Immortal Realm within the top one thousand.

Seeing that Li Hao really dared to come up, Lin Mingrong frowned, but didn't say anything more.

Before Li Hao's eyes, as he arrived, the dimly lit palace suddenly glowed with a hazy, nitrogen-argon light. Then, a projected, ethereal image, its form resembling a gathering of Xingchen, appeared within the palace.

It is the Dream Master.

Her face was veiled, her figure exquisite, like a celestial being descended to earth, or an empress who reigns supreme over Heaven and Earth and earth.

"I am very pleased that you have passed the test of the Yan Chu Imperial Family. The Future of the Great Dream Nine Abyss rests on your shoulders."

The Dream Master's voice was gentle, like Rainwater soothing the hearts of everyone, yet it retained an authoritative authority that compelled them to bow their heads.

"There are still three years left. Do not slacken your efforts and let others catch up. The situation is still uncertain, with many Heaven and Earth figures emerging, and all are vying for a place!"

The disciples bowed their heads, feeling the warmth and approachability, as well as the inviolable sacred majesty.

"These are thirteen Flying Immortal Pill. You probably already know their effects. A True Immortal Realm can only take two pills in their lifetime, and each one can directly break through to the next realm!"

In an instant, thirteen snow-white, crystal-clear Immortal Pill flew down in front of Li Hao and the others.

A rich, Immortal Pill aroma wafted around, refreshing the mind and body, giving one the feeling of open pores. Li Hao was astonished; he hadn't expected such a top-tier Immortal Pill to directly break through to the next cultivation level.

Two upper limits – does this mean that in the True Immortal True Immortal Realm, one only needs to cultivate to the eighth level to reach the Tenth Layer of Perfection?

However, such Immortal Pill must be extremely precious and in high demand; it is estimated that only powerful forces could afford to bestow some as rewards.

Upon seeing the Flying Immortal Pill, Lin Mingrong and the other disciples were quite tempted. Many of them were at the seventh to ninth level of cultivation, and if they obtained the Flying Immortal Pill, their strength would surely advance even further.

After all, every step is a step to heaven, and with each advancement in realm, the Immortal Power one Mastery will double!

As soon as she received the Immortal Pill, Lin Mingrong quickly raised her hand to accept it and express her gratitude. However, she noticed at the same time that Li Hao also accepted the Immortal Pill that had been allocated to him.

She was slightly taken aback. The Dream Master himself had bestowed it; there was no way it could be wrong. Could it really be what her junior brother had said?

She had heard about the arrival of everyone else, but Elder Li hadn't reported the arrival of her junior brother.

It's rather strange.

"You can cultivate in this Langya Dream Realm. The Immortal Power here is abundant, and the Great Dao Origin flows within. If your cultivation touches the Great Dao Origin, I will expound the Dao to you, allowing you to make significant progress as quickly as possible."

The Dream Master said softly, "Other cultivation resources are at your disposal. You only need to do your best to improve yourselves within these three years!"

Upon hearing her words, Lin Mingrong and the others all looked up abruptly, their expressions excited.

In the Great Dream Nine Abyss, the best Sacred Land for cultivation is the legendary Langya Dream Realm!

I've heard that a year of cultivation here is worth more than a hundred years outside!

"Thank you, Dream Master!"

Everyone said in unison.

Li Hao also expressed his gratitude, secretly noting down the name of the Painting Realm in his mind.

"If you can achieve a good ranking in the Southern Region Assembly Battle three years later, there will be even more rewards. You just need to do your best to become stronger, and remember, don't let your guard down!"

The Dream Master gave another instruction.

Everyone responded in unison.

Then the Dream Master waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back, and someone led them to the training grounds arranged within the Langya Dream Realm.

Li Hao stood there, somewhat embarrassed, unsure whether he should speak.

The other disciples had already turned around. The Dream Master's eyes fell on the young man, and he said softly, "What is your name?"

Upon hearing this, the other disciples were surprised and turned to look, only to see that the Dream Master was asking a stranger, a young man.

"Disciple Haotian."

Li Hao cupped his hands in greeting.

"You stay; everyone else, you can leave now."

"The Dream Master said softly."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mingrong's eyes flickered as she stared at Li Hao. The fact that the Dream Master had bestowed a pill upon him earlier proved that Li Hao hadn't lied. Now that Li Hao had been kept here, she suddenly felt that this junior brother was a bit mysterious.

"Dream Master, I counted earlier, and there are twelve of us who have made it into the top thousand. I don't know why there's one extra?"

At this moment, a tall, upright young man suddenly bowed and asked a question, his gaze fixed on Li Hao.

He had already taken note of the number of people, and now seeing that the young man had been kept by the Dream Master, he couldn't help but feel strange. His words were also a test.

Upon hearing this, the other disciples all turned to look at Li Hao.

Everyone present was a meticulous person and had already noticed this, but no one said anything.

"Haotian is also among the top 1,000, but his ranking is too high to be publicized. You all need to keep it a secret for him."

"The Dream Master said softly."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell into a brief silence.

Lin Mingrong, the young man who had just bowed and spoken, and the other disciples all shuddered and looked at Li Hao.

To be ranked within the top 1000, and with a ranking high enough to need to be kept secret?

The young man who bowed and Spear Abyss was the chief disciple of the Spear Abyss, which is currently the lineage with the most disciples and the most intense competition among the Great Dream Nine Abyss.

He stood out among them, and his ranking within the Ancient Immortal Realm was the highest among the disciples of the Abyss, breaking into the top 600 and stepping into the Tenth Desolate Domain!

With such results, he will almost certainly not be squeezed out three years later, and he is almost guaranteed to get Battle Token.

Even so, his achievements weren't hidden, but now, that unknown boy actually needs to hide his ranking?

The young man couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Dream Master, what is his ranking?"

Although he asked the question cautiously, he was somewhat resentful inside.

The Dream Master seemed to have discerned their thoughts, and still spoke softly:

"Haotian is ranked within the top 100. You will know his exact ranking in three years."

Within the top 100?

Lin Mingrong and the young man both had their pupils slightly contracted, and the other disciples also looked at Li Hao with shock.

This kid is ranked within the top 100?!

How could that be!

They all knew that among the top 100, apart from those Immortal Lord Realm Prodigy who had already broken through the Tenth Desolate Domain, the rest were the group who had persisted the longest in the Tenth Desolate Domain!

And that boy was actually one of the oldest batches?

The young man, Lin Mingrong, and the other disciples all changed their expressions. Being among the top 1000 meant that they had all stepped forward to enter the Tenth Desolate Domain.

It's just a matter of how short or long you stay inside.

That's why they all deeply understood how terrifying the Tenth Desolate Domain was. The endless stream of attacks from the Great Dao Origin and Primordial Immortal Arts were incredibly powerful and caught them completely off guard. Anyone who could endure it was an anomaly!

"This·"

Lin Mingrong opened her mouth slightly, her beautiful eyes widening in shock. Besides her, was there really such a Prodigy in the Sword Abyss?

"One hundred..." she murmured repeatedly to herself, somewhat lost in thought.

Then, suddenly remembering what he had said earlier, his face flushed red, feeling a burning sensation.

The Dream Master said softly, "You should go first. Time is precious, don't waste any time."

The disciples all regained their senses, their eyes filled with complex emotions. They took a deep look at the nonchalant-looking young man, and then walked out of the main hall one after another.

After they all left, the Dream Master looked at Li Hao with gentle eyes and asked, "What were you looking at by the pond earlier?"

Li Hao was taken aback, thinking that the other party had given him some special reward, but he didn't expect them to ask about this matter.

His eyes immediately lit up with intense interest, and he asked, "Great Lord, did you paint all of Langya Realm?"

Seeing the inexplicable excitement and agitation in the boy's eyes, the Great Lord's expression changed slightly. When he received the Flying Immortal Elixir earlier, he had only shown a few surprises beneath his calm demeanor, without any joy. But now, it was as if he had stepped on a switch, and he suddenly became excited.

"It's not easy for you to tell it's a painting."

"The Dream Master said softly."

Li Hao's eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Did you, Great Lord, draw this yourself? That's amazing!"

Hearing the boy's heartfelt exclamation and praise, the corners of the Great Lord's mouth, hidden beneath his veil, seemed to curve slightly upwards.

"Tell me first, how did you figure that out?"

Her voice remained unchanged as she asked the question without revealing her true feelings.

Without hesitation, Li Hao replied, "Being inside the painting, the Great Dao Origin within it, as depicted in your work, have allowed you to trace the outlines of the painting with your finger. This must have been intentional on your part, senior."

A hint of surprise appeared deep in the eyes of the Great Lord. It was indeed something she had done on purpose, like leaving a gap in the brushstroke, but the fact that the young man before her could actually capture the Great Dao Origin in her painting was truly astonishing.

"You're good at painting too?"

"I know a little."

Could you demonstrate one or two examples?

"Then this junior will take my leave."

When it came to painting, Li Hao got really excited. Without holding back, he raised his hand, using the space in front of him as a canvas and the surrounding immortal Immortal Power as ink, spreading it out. His fingers became the brush tip, sketching lightly in the Void. Immortal Power gathered like Flash of Insight, drawing light arcs, and in an instant, a Jiaolong condensed from the Void.

With a low roar, the Jiaolong suddenly began to spin, coiling around Li Hao's body with a powerful aura.

Upon seeing this, the Great Demon Lord's eyes showed astonishment. This Painting Dao's skill in painting was quite profound, exceeding her expectations. Moreover, it incorporated the Dao Resonance Origin Space Origin and Water Origin, although she couldn't discern the extent of its mastery.

But at least it's at the first level of the Origin!

Her eyes rarely showed such intense focus, and she suddenly said, "You're a disciple of Sword Abyss, aren't you? That Divine Sword..."

Have you ever seen it?

"Divine Sword?"

Li Hao Haoyi.

The Great Lord said softly, "During the Southern Region Assembly Battle, weapons and Treasure Armor are restricted. After the Southern Region Assembly Battle ends, come and try to pull out that Divine Sword. If you can, I will give it to you."

Li Hao was somewhat confused, but understanding that this was a matter of cultivation, he said, "Then thank you very much, Great Lord."

Meanwhile, on Emperor Sword Mountain in Sword Abyss.

Sitting by the Thatched Hut, Yun Wumian suddenly sneezed again. He rubbed his nose and asked in confusion, "Who's whispering behind my back?"
