Origin City

Above us was Chaos Hazy World, with streaks of brightly colored light flashing by like a shower of Xingchen.

Li Hao was stunned by this magnificent scene. The countless streams of light, flowing eternally, were actually the Great Dao Origin. If he could capture them and comprehend them, he could greatly increase the speed at which he could comprehend the Great Dao Origin.

He was standing in a majestic and ancient city, its walls black and towering, exuding an ancient and profound feeling, as if it Years stood there for millions of years.

Li Hao extended his Divine Sense and discovered that the city was extremely large, but it was also very empty, with many old and uninhabited Dwelling.

The city was unusually quiet, but Li Hao still spotted three figures. Besides Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian, who had arrived earlier, there was also an unfamiliar young man dressed in a peculiar silver robe, who looked extremely noble.

"Um?"

While Li Hao was looking around, Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian, who were also observing their surroundings, also sensed Li Hao through their Divine Sense.

Both of them were taken aback, their eyes showing surprise. In the previous battle between Li Hao and Chu Tianzheng, they could see that Li Hao had strong Heavenly Talent and terrifying combat power, but they did not expect that he could also reach this level.

"You actually managed to reach the Ninth Layer? You're also Nine Flowers Immortal Seal?"

Chu Tianhuang's eyes flashed, and in a flash, he appeared beside Li Hao. His aged face showed a hint of kindness as he gently asked.

Previously, Li Hao had publicly suppressed Chu Tianzheng, stepping on the emperor's body, but now, Chu Tianzheng looked at Li Hao with a kind expression, without the slightest anger.

Li Hao sensed the restrained power emanating from his opponent; this member of the Imperial Clan was clearly several levels stronger than Chu Tianzheng, whom he had defeated earlier.

"Here it is?"

Li Hao nodded, then asked curiously.

He had just met with the Emperor Chu, and quite some time had Past, but judging from their appearances, they seemed to have just arrived.

It seems that the power of time is extremely strong in the Palace Hall the Emperor Chu met, keeping the flow of time there significantly different from that of the outside world.

At that moment, the air around them suddenly cooled down, and then Boya Xuejian, dressed in white, teleported to Li Hao's side.

"To defeat Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm the True Immortal Realm level is quite impressive."

When Boya Xuejian saw Li Hao, a smile appeared on their faces as well, a smile that seemed to reflect the mutual appreciation between geniuses.

That's too kind.

Li Hao said modestly.

Chu Tianhuang then answered Li Hao, saying, "The Origin Secret Realm has nine levels, each corresponding to a different Immortal Seal. This is the Ninth Layer, the closest to the Great Dao Origin. Look above our heads; those are the Great Dao Origin. In other levels, there would be interference from Chaos power, making it impossible to perceive them so directly. The difficulty of comprehending them would also increase."

"So, the strong getting stronger is indeed not without reason."

Li Hao said.

The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal is already top-tier, and to obtain such a great advantage in the Origin Secret Realm will likely widen the gap between them and others even further.

"But these are merely the ordinary Myriad Daos, not the Nine Orders. Since we've come all the way to the Origin Secret Realm, it's more worthwhile to comprehend the Nine Sequence Origin."

"That's what Boya Xuejian said from the side."

Chu Tianhuang nodded and said, "If you want to comprehend the Nine Orders, you need to go to the Four Great Origin Cities. This is just the Chaos Receiving City."

"The Four Great Origin Cities?"

Li Hao, Bo Ya, and Boya Xuejian all looked at him curiously.

Chu Tianhuang made no attempt to hide anything, appearing completely unpretentious and extremely approachable, saying, "Legend has it that Immortal Emperor once established five Origin City in the Origin Secret Realm: the Time-Space Origin City and Space, the Five Dao Origin City, the Form Control Origin City, the Chaos Origin City, and finally City of Destiny!"

"Each Origin City allows one to comprehend its corresponding Origin Great Dao, but currently there are only Four Great Origin Cities. The City of Destiny disappeared countless Years ago and remains unfathomable. Some say it was hidden by the Heavenly Dao of the True Realm to prevent Immortal Deity from spying on it and arbitrarily altering its Destiny. Others say that some other force invaded and destroyed the City of Destiny."

He shook his head and said, "But no matter what, since the City of Destiny disappeared, it has become extremely difficult to cultivate the Great Dao of Destiny. And those powerful individuals who once comprehended the Great Dao of Destiny have gradually disappeared after the City of Destiny vanished, their cultivation stagnating."

As expected of the Imperial Clan, they know a great deal of secrets. Li Hao listened attentively. It is said that Time and Space are kings, Destiny is supreme. In the face of Destiny, all Myriad Daos are insignificant.

If one can comprehend the Great Dao of Destiny, one can reverse one's own Heavenly Mandate. This power is extremely domineering and terrifying, making one invincible among those of the same realm, without any suspense.

"So, are we going to Origin City now?"

Boya Xuejian's eyes flickered. He was born from the Chaos Snow Spirit and comprehended the Water Dao Origin. If he were to go to the Origin City, he should go to the Five Dao Origin City.

"Um."

Chu Tianhuang nodded and said, "This is a rare opportunity, and it's most worthwhile to comprehend the Nine Orders. However, to go to the Origin City, we must first cross the Heavenly Dao Bridge."

He seemed to know what Li Hao, Bo Ya, and Boya Xuejian wanted to ask, and said, "But before we go to the Heavenly Dao Bridge, let's meet with the Grand Tutor first. In the next seven years, if we encounter any difficulties here, we can ask the Grand Tutor for help. Besides Yan-Chu, which can enter, the other Six Kingdoms Immortal Dynasty dynasties can also enter. For example, that one, judging from his clothes, should be from the Jingtian Immortal Dynasty."

Upon hearing his words, Li Hao, Boya Xuejian both used their Divine Sense to observe the Silver-Robed Youth. He had clearly noticed them as well, but his eyes remained extremely calm, revealing a powerful confidence.

Those who can reach the Chaos Receiving City on the Ninth Layer are all Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, and their strength should not be underestimated. They are all top-notch experts in their respective realms.

"I can't wait, seven years from now."

Boya Xuejian's eyes revealed a hint of fighting spirit and anticipation. Suddenly, he thought of something, looked at Li Hao, and said, "You also use a sword. When your cultivation level catches up with mine, we'll have a chance to Sparring."

"Good."

Li Hao nodded; the other person's words clearly indicated that they also practiced the Sword Dao.

Chu Tianhuang looked at Boya Xuejian. He had invited her before, hoping to have her join his camp and lay a solid foundation for his Future struggle for the throne.

But the other party refused, their ambitions Yan-Chu.

He came to find Li Hao at this time, hoping to win Li Hao over. Although Li Hao was only at the True Immortal Realm, his potential was second to none in Yan-Chu. If such a person could follow him, he would have a better chance of competing with those Prodigy brothers in the Future.

"It's been many years, and someone's come again."

"Everyone, come out and take a look. Whoever has a child, take them home."

At this moment, a series of voices suddenly rang out within the city, some old, some with hearty laughter, and others with a charming yet elegant and noble air.

Aura emerged from the Chaos Receiving City, and then, in a Li Hao, an old man with white hair and beard appeared before them.

"Um?"

The old man, seeing the three of them, showed a hint of surprise and said, "The three of you?"

Clearly, he hadn't expected that three of the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal would come to Origin City this time.

"It's been a long time, and the national fortunes of my Yan-Chu have actually grown strong."

The old man chuckled and quickly noticed that Li Hao was True Immortal Realm, but what truly concerned him was that he sensed Li Hao's soul was extremely immature and his Soul Lifespan seemed to be quite short.

However, he didn't reveal it in public. Instead, he glanced at Chu Tianhuang and asked, "May I ask which prince you are?"

"Chu Tianhuang greets the Grand Tutor."

Chu Tianhuang bowed deeply in respect.

The White-Haired Elder, dressed in Black Grand Tutor Robe, raised his hand to support Chu Tianhuang, glanced at Li Hao and Boya Xuejian, and said, "Come with me."

With a flick of their sleeves, the three of them found themselves in a Courtyard.

The Courtyard looked somewhat old, but it was quite large, with several ponds connected together like a ditch.

Li Hao actually saw Divine Water Dao Fish in the pool. This was a spiritual creature condensed from the Dao Resonance. If it were cooked, it could enhance one's spirituality in comprehending the Dao.

There were three or five sycamore trees in the courtyard, their Falling Leaves covering the ground. There was also Go Board with Falling Leaves floating on it. At this moment, the Chess Piece were interlocking, but there was only one player sitting there.

"Let me first tell you about the rules of this Chaos Receiving City."

The Grand Tutor sat down in the Grandmaster's Chair next to him, raised his hand and waved it, Li Hao immediately felt that the flow of time around him had slowed down.

This courtyard forms its own Barrier, Secret Realm where time flows slowly. Even if they talk for a long time, it won't interfere with the cultivation time outside.

However, as time flowed, the surrounding Dao Resonance became blurred, and the Divine Water Dao Fish in the pools could clearly feel the pull of the changing time, so they swam faster and seemed somewhat agitated.

Daily activities, including battles, are unaffected by the flow of time, but cultivation requires comprehending the Great Dao, which is affected by the change in the flow of time, making the perception blurred. Therefore, it is impossible to increase one's cultivation time by doing so; it is merely a waste of time and an extension of Soul Lifespan.

"Within the city, except on special occasions, private duels are forbidden. Otherwise, if the Chaos City Lord intervenes, he can expel you directly, and I will be unable to stop him."

The Grand Tutor said, "But you must be careful outside the city. There are princes from other Immortal Dynasty here, as well as some old fellows who have come here to cultivate after receiving great merit rewards. If you encounter them, get away immediately, otherwise even I may not be able to rescue you in time!"

Upon hearing this, all three nodded earnestly.

"You all have Immortal Weapon, right?"

The Grand Tutor looked at the three of them and said, "Fortunately, once you reach the Immortal King Realm Origin Secret Realm, you can't come here. Therefore, the strongest person here is only at the Immortal Lord Realm. If your Immortal Weapon are of good enough quality, they can protect you to some extent and hold you off."

"Here is my Golden Talisman. You should carry it with you at all times. If you encounter danger, crush it immediately, and I will arrive at your side instantly."

He handed over three Golden Talisman, which Li Hao and the other two accepted.

Why can't those at the Immortal King Realm come here?

Li Hao accepted the Golden Talisman and asked curiously.

The Grand Tutor glanced at Li Hao and said, "When Immortal King Realm Immortal Kingdom within their body, the Domain Power of that Immortal Kingdom will be rejected by the Origin World."

Chu Tianhuang said to Li Hao, "Father Emperor appointed the Grand Tutor to oversee this place because the Grand Tutor is an invincible existence among the Immortal Lord Realm, and therefore capable of maintaining order. If it were any other Tenth Layer of the Immortal Lord Realm, they might not be able to defend this place."

The Grand Tutor was quite pleased with the veiled flattery in his words and chuckled, "As expected of a prince, you must be very familiar with things here. However, you are mistaken. I cannot claim to be invincible among the Immortal Lord Realm, but dealing with the vast majority of the Immortal Lord Realm should not be a problem."

Chu Tianhuang chuckled and said, "If the Grand Tutor doesn't claim to be invincible, who dares to claim invincible?"

The Grand Tutor quickly waved his hand, "That's too much, too much."

But with a smile on his face, he was clearly very pleased.

Li Hao and Boya Xuejian exchanged a glance. Although Chu Tianhuang meant to flatter him, the fact that even this Heavenly Talent Prodigy prince was secretly praising him showed that this Grand Tutor was no ordinary person.

"The Grand Tutor is War God of our dynasty's Immortal Lord Realm. To guard the Chaos City of the Origin Secret Realm, he gave up breaking through to the Immortal King Realm. But even at the Immortal King Realm, he can still hold his own!"

Chu Tianhuang then transmitted his voice to Li Hao.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao's gaze towards the old man immediately turned solemn.

"You've come here to go to the Origin City, haven't you? The Heavenly Dao Bridge is dangerous, so please be careful. I can't help you there either; you'll have to rely on yourselves."

The Grand Tutor spoke to the three of them.

All three nodded.

"Go ahead, the kids from the other floors are all heading this way. I need to remind them that there are fewer people on the Heavenly Dao Bridge now, so you can go and try it out without being disturbed. It'll be noisy when there are more people later."

The Grand Tutor said.

"Um."

Chu Tianhuang nodded, then turned to Boya Xuejian, and Li Hao, asking, "Together?"

"OK."

Boya Xuejian nodded.

Li Hao glanced at the Go Board beside him, feeling a bit tempted to sit down and play a game. However, this opportunity to comprehend the secrets was rare, and he decided to go to the Origin City first to broaden his horizons before coming to find the old man again.

After watching Li Hao and the other two leave, the Grand Tutor stroked his white beard and a smile appeared on his face.

"Three of them came at once! In previous years, we were lucky to get even one at a time. Tsk tsk."

He sighed a few times, raised his hand and waved it, revealing his clones, which began to guide others on other floors as well.

He himself prepared to leave the courtyard to go elsewhere to secretly watch over the three, but before leaving, he glanced at the chessboard on the table and said:

"Old friend, I'll look for you again when I get back."

On the other side of the chess game, there was no one in the chair, but there was a piece of White Jade.

However, when he glanced at the chessboard, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation, noticing an extra Black Stone in a tricky spot.

He blinked, wondering if he was seeing things. But when he looked again, he realized there was indeed an extra Black Stone. Moreover, the position of that piece contained several hidden moves, making the situation where the White Stone was chasing suddenly become a dilemma.

"Old friend, is that you?"

The Grand Tutor's heart suddenly trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the White Jade.

But the White Jade remained still.

The Grand Tutor's breathing became rapid, and his eyes even turned slightly red. He picked up the White Jade and carefully sensed it, penetrating it with his Divine Sense, but still could not sense any change.

As we have witnessed every day for countless Years.

A look of frustration suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he scratched his head.

Soon, he thought of something, raised his hand and waved it, and the flow of time around him slowed down, then reversed.

Immediately afterwards, the figures of Li Hao and the other two reappeared before their eyes, but they were only phantoms.

In the reversal of time, the Grand Tutor saw that the young man among the three, before leaving, passed by the Go Board and picked up a Chess Piece with his fingertip, which landed on the Go Board —the very extra Black Stone.
