Origin Dao Fruit

"That's when the competition is fiercest."

Li Hao said.

The others were all newcomers to Origin City, vying for the Spiritual Burst. As the number of people decreased, the competition became less intense.

"Good."

"Then I'll borrow a piece of land from you, senior."

Li Hao said.

The old man was somewhat surprised, then nodded and said, "Do as you please."

Li Hao immediately sat down on the ground, ignoring the Five Daos of light that reached the sky. Instead, he gathered his fingers together to form Sword Qi and began to carefully carve the section of tree root in his hand.

Seeing Li Hao's focused expression, the old man's face showed a strange look. He obviously didn't expect that someone would not compete for the Divine Tree's Spiritual Burst, but instead do other things here.

With nothing else to do, he casually swung the stick, but his eyes fell on Li Hao's hand as he observed Li Hao's Sculpting.

Li Hao was now completely absorbed in his studies. His Dao Domain surrounded him, and the Dao Realm Time, Time and Space, Water and Fire, Fire, and Earth were all condensed within Dao Domain, allowing him to be in a state of absolute tranquility and peace, undisturbed by anyone.

Sword Qi Sculpting into the tree roots, gradually revealing their outlines and spirit; the Sculpting was like a painting, and the painting was like Sculpting.

Li Hao's Painting Dao had already reached level 11, but his Path of Carving was only level 10.

At this moment, many insights into the art of Painting Dao were also condensed between his fingers.

However, having previously gained insights into the Space Dao through painting, Li Hao was now even more focused on experiencing the Dao Realm Comprehension brought about by this Sculpting.

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Tree gradually became exquisite, radiating divine charm and precious light. The section of tree root that had been cut off gradually transformed in Li Hao's hands into the shape of a woman with flowing robes.

This woman was none other than Lin Qingying.

Its eyes were clear and serene, lifelike, as if it were leaping out of Li Hao's palm.

"Oh?"

When the old man saw the Sculpting figure, surprise appeared in his eyes. He immediately realized that Li Hao's Sculpting skills were extremely profound, a level that was quite rare among the many important figures he had met.

Not long after, as the last trace of ink was etched into his eyes, Li Hao felt a sense of clarity and realized where he was.

He had been so engrossed in the full-body Sculpting that he completely forgot himself.

Looking at Lin Qingying, who possessed a remarkable spiritual charm and seemed to emanate from the Great Dao, Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he began Sculpting again.

Soon, Lin Qingying's Wood Carving held a sword in its hand. The sword was already drawn, but it seemed to be just standing horizontally in the Void.

The sword was surrounded by a sharp, radiant Dao Light, clearly the Void Sword Dao practiced by Lin Qingying.

To be precise, it is the No-Sword Dao.

The old man's astonishment deepened. It wasn't unusual to Sculpting the woman herself, but to Sculpting the Great Dao she embodied was truly terrifying.

"It seems you've Entering the Dao the Sculpting."

He said in a low voice.

Li Hao snapped out of his daze, smiled at the old man, then examined the Sculpting in his hand, his smile quickly fading.

The Sculpting was absolutely Perfection, but for some reason, he felt something was missing.

As he was Sculpting, he sensed the texture and the Aura of the Wood Dao Origin contained within this piece of Divine Wood.

In the process of Sculpting, he seemed to gradually grasp some of the concepts, but it wasn't enough.

"True Sculpting should perhaps be naturally flawless..."

"The very growth of this Divine Wood is itself a natural Sculpting..."

A look of understanding flashed in Li Hao's eyes, followed by a sudden realization. He quickly stood up and went to cut off another section of the Divine Wood. Then, feeling somewhat embarrassed, he said to the old man:

"Senior, may I borrow another passage?"

"It's alright, please take it."

The old man seemed to have sensed something, a smile appearing on his lips, and said calmly.

Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands in thanks to him, and then put away Lin Qingying's Sculpting and started Sculpting again.

This time, he thought of Old Wang, and then he thought of Ying Xiaoxiao, whom Old Wang had been pursuing.

The roadside Tea Stall where I first met that woman. She stood gracefully in the wind, smiling as she said that her surname was Ying, meaning "to grant every request," and her given name was Xiao, meaning "free and easy."

The laughter wafting in the wind and the girl's carefree spirit brought a smile to his face.

The Great Dao floated in his hand, this time not Sculpting with Sword Qi, but with the Time Origin.

Time moves gently and swiftly on that Divine Wood, like a caress, and the Divine Wood changes accordingly.

Divine Radiance shone forth, the wood grain cracked, gradually twisting and changing, extending into lines that eventually combined to form the shape of a woman.

The woman's outline gradually became clearer, and green leaves bloomed on the Divine Wood, gradually splitting and transforming into her head of black hair.

Seeing this change, a look of seriousness appeared in the old man's eyes, followed by a barely perceptible smile slowly spreading across his lips.

He realized he hadn't misjudged Li Hao... He watched Li Hao Sculpting quietly.

Sculpting with time is a slow process. Time passed around Li Hao, and when Li Hao finished Sculpting, the old man saw the woman's appearance and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hoo... "Li Hao let out a soft breath, looking at the Sculpting in his hand with satisfaction in his eyes.

At this moment, he noticed that the Divine Radiance emanating from the Five Daos rays above his head had disappeared. Looking up, he saw that the five Divine Tree had returned to normal.

"It's over?"

Li Hao asked in surprise.

More than a month has Past.

The old man said.

Li Hao was stunned. "I 'Sculpting for a month?"

"Hmm." The old man nodded slightly, looking at the Sculpting in Li Hao's hand, and asked, "Where have you seen this woman before? Who is she to you?"

Li Hao looked at Ying Xiaoxiao and said, "We're friends, I guess."

"Friends...?"

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "When did you see her? This young girl is no ordinary person."

You know?

A thought flashed through Li Hao's mind, and he immediately thought of Ying Xiaoxiao's predecessor, the God Daughter Shi Miao who roamed the True Realm under the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe.

The fact that this old man could live in Origin City and was so mysterious meant that he couldn't possibly know Ying Xiaoxiao, but rather her past life, or rather, her original form.

"Once a Heavenly Prodigy God Daughter, she dominated the True Realm, leaving the younger generation utterly defeated. Those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her were few and far between in the entire True Realm. The others were also extremely powerful figures, with the potential to become Immortal Emperor and ascend to the Supreme the True Realm. Unfortunately..."

The old man shook his head.

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he said, "So, senior, you were here Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe?"

The old man smiled but did not answer, only saying, "You seem to be using such a trivial technique to comprehend the Great Dao."

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer, Li Hao did not press further. He simply understood the situation and said, "Comprehending the Great Dao was just a side effect; I only wanted to pursue a higher level of Sculpting."

"Ha ha..."

Upon hearing Li Hao's statement, the old man burst into laughter. Comprehending the Great Dao was merely a byproduct; Sculpting was the primary task?

He laughed heartily and said, "You can only say that to me; if word gets out, you'll get beaten up."

Li Hao realized that his words had been too offensive and said awkwardly, "Please forgive me, senior."

"However, although what you've done is a minor skill, it seems to possess some extraordinary qualities."

After the old man finished laughing, his smile suddenly faded, as if there was a deeper meaning in his expression. He said, "An Immortal Emperor once said that one Heavenly Dao through a minor path. Perhaps this is what you are experiencing. Moreover, although your minor path is insignificant, I have actually seen the shadows of two Great Dao within it. This is not simple."

"Using a lesser path to Heavenly Dao?"

Li Hao was taken aback, his eyes brightening slightly with a delighted surprise, as if he had found a kindred spirit. He asked, "How is that Immortal Emperor addressed?"

"They have long since perished, their names buried in the River of Time; let them go undiscovered."

The old man shook his head and said to Li Hao, "You've cultivated to this level, perhaps your cultivation path is correct, somewhat similar to that of that Immortal Emperor."

Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal anything, Li Hao had no choice but to stop asking and figured he could inquire when he met Old Wang.

"Maybe."

Li Hao said that he suddenly realized that he could comprehend the Time Great Dao through Angling, and that the Painting Dao contained the profound principles of the Three Great Dao: the Space Great Dao, the Water Dao, and the Earth Dao. This was simply terrifying.

It should be understood that the Five Daos of the Nine Orders —metal, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and earth—can all extend into numerous Great Dao, which is what makes them the Nine Orders.

At this moment, the Art Skill he had cultivated actually contained three major paths Nine Sequences Great Dao.

This Art Skill seemed far more powerful than he had imagined; according to the Nine Sequences Great Dao, it was even a higher level.

"Perhaps there is a kind of cultivation in this world, where one can comprehend the Nine Orders, or even the Myriad Daos true methods, by practicing only one method..."

The thought suddenly popped into Li Hao's mind, but then a flash of Flash of Insight struck him, and he jolted awake.

If there truly is a "spiritual practice," or rather, an "Art Skill," that, once fully mastered, allows one to comprehend the Nine Orders, wouldn't that be... life itself?

The essence of life is Reincarnation!

Li Hao suddenly felt a chill. He had heard that the Ancient Demon Woman Mi Xueyao, whom he had encountered earlier, possessed Reincarnation Fragment. He had also heard that the Ancient Demon Clan broke free from the Reincarnation, and the destruction of the Reincarnation led to the release of the Ancient Demon.

All of this seems to be connected in some way...

What are you thinking about?

The old man spoke, bringing Li Hao back to his senses.

Li Hao realized what was happening, put Ying Xiaoxiao away, and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. Um, senior... could I take another piece of tree root?"

The old man chuckled and said, "Take it."

Li Hao thanked him repeatedly, then cut off another section of the tree root and used his Immortal Power to infuse it into the Divine Wood.

This Divine Wood absorbed Immortal Power like a bottomless pit. Li Hao kept pouring it in, but found that it still couldn't be filled, which surprised him.

But he didn't stop. Instead, he unleashed the Chu All Heavens Star Meridian Ultimate Realm, drawing in Starlight from his body, which extended like veins, continuously sending Immortal Power into the Divine Tree.

This Origin World has no Xingchen, but these Xingchen veins seem to extend through the Origin Secret Realm to another Time and Space.

"The Terminal Realm?"

The old man's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the Starlight surrounding Li Hao. Clearly, Li Hao's performance had exceeded his expectations; he was only at the True Immortal Realm, yet he had actually cultivated to the Terminal Realm.

Once you master the All Heavens Star Meridian, you will have an inexhaustible source of Immortal Power, making you a relentless monster on the battlefield.

If such a person were at the Immortal King Realm, how terrifying would that be?

A tireless Immortal King Realm an invincible force on the battlefield, surpassing even billions of immortal soldiers!

With a continuous influx of Immortal Power, Li Hao continued to channel it for three days and three nights until a trace of new life appeared at the broken part of the Divine Wood.

Upon seeing this, Li Hao was greatly shocked. The nurturing of this Golden Divine Tree seemed to exceed his imagination.

"You go ahead and do your thing, don't waste time."

The old man smiled and advised Li Hao, "By the time you've healed this tree, your time here will probably be up."

"But senior..." Li Hao was in a dilemma. That was true, but if he stopped, it would be like taking the other party's Divine Tree for nothing.

"Old man, I have time. I'll take my time."

The old man said to Li Hao, "You are still young. Take advantage of your youth to do more useful things. Let me do this kind of time-consuming work."

Li Hao felt ashamed and guilty, and said, "Senior, this kindness is something I can hardly repay."

You have a chance.

The old man chuckled, "With your Heavenly Talent, if you don't perish, you might have a chance to explore that highest position in the Future. If you still remember this favor then, it won't be too late to come back."

Li Hao smiled bitterly; he himself dared not even imagine becoming Immortal Emperor.

But since the other party said that, he could only clasp his hands in thanks and secretly remember this kindness.

Then he began to continue Sculpting while sitting cross-legged.

But at that moment, a powerful Aura suddenly rushed over, arriving in an instant and traversing the Void.

A young man dressed in imperial robes, exuding a noble air, stood with his hands behind his back, atop the golden tree.

His gaze also fell on Li Hao and the old man, his eyebrows slightly raised, clearly not expecting that there were others besides himself here.

Upon seeing that Li Hao was only at the True Immortal Realm, the surprise in his eyes disappeared, replaced by indifference, and he turned his gaze to examine the golden Divine Tree.

The old man also saw this person, but remained calm and did not speak.

At this moment, the Robe-Clad Youth circled the Divine Tree, his brows furrowing slightly, and asked, "Where are the Divine Tree Dao Fruit on it?"

His gaze shifted to Li Hao, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Kid, did you eat it?"

"What."

Li Hao was stunned. Sensing the powerful aura gradually emanating from the other party, his expression immediately became solemn. The other party was Immortal Lord Realm, and his Aura was much stronger than that of Chu Tianzheng, whom he had defeated earlier. It seemed that he was at the same level as Chu Tianhuang.

"Hmph, this is a divine object you dare to touch? You're practically courting death!"

The Robe-Clad Youth revealed killing intent in his eyes, and Divine Radiance emanated from his palm, as he directly intended to suppress and kill Li Hao with the Immortal Dao Laws.

But at this moment, the old man beside him slowly spoke up, "He did not consume your Origin Dao Fruit, so do not commit reckless acts here."

The Robe-Clad Youth looked at the old man, his eyes narrowed, and his expression became more solemn. Suddenly, he cupped his hands and said, "Senior, could you perhaps be the True Form of this Origin Divine Tree?"

"The True Form? The Origin Divine Tree?"

Li Hao looked at the old man, and recalling Taowu's words earlier, he was secretly shocked. Was this golden Divine Tree before him truly the Origin Divine Tree?

There are already five Origin Divine Tree within the city, each corresponding to one of the Five Daos: metal, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, fire, and earth. What is this one?

"Your ancestor told you, didn't he? Your Aura is so similar to that little child from before. I never expected..."

Disappointment and regret were evident in the old man's eyes.

There was once a boy, just as Prodigy as the boy before us, who possessed the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal and the Time-Space Great Dao, yet he came to this Five Dao Origin City.

He attracted him, imparted his Dao Arts to him, hoping to give him a chance to become Immortal Emperor.

The trembling, grateful young man left this place many Years ago. Unexpectedly, the man's descendant has come here now and directly demands the Divine Tree Dao Fruit.

Is it that the boy from back then has changed his appearance, or is this the nature of his descendants?

But he believed the former was more likely, after all, members of the Imperial Clan always obeyed the advice of their elders and superiors...

"Senior, I am the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal, and I aspire to become Immortal Emperor. I humbly request your assistance in granting me a fortuitous opportunity, for which I will repay you handsomely in the future!"

The young man bowed to the old man and said solemnly.

The old man sighed inwardly and shook his head, saying, "The Origin Dao Fruit is gone. I'm afraid I can't give you this fortuitous opportunity. You should go back to the city and study it."

"Senior, I have come with sincere intentions. My Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty is destined to produce Supreme in the Future. I hope you will grant me this fortuitous opportunity!"

The young man spoke earnestly, but his words seemed to carry a hint of coercion.

The old man's face darkened slightly. He said, "Leave here, or you can try to rob us yourself."

The young man stared at the old man, disappointment in his eyes, and said, "Senior, please don't regret this. I won't attack your true form, so you won't be able to harm me. Since this brat ate the Origin Dao Fruit, I'll make him spit it out!"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Hao, his eyes suddenly flashing with killing intent, and directly clapped his hands down to suppress Li Hao.

Clearly, he also recognized Li Hao's extraordinary talent. To be able to come to Origin City and have the fluctuations of the Time-Space Great Dao and Space around him, he must be Heavenly Prodigy Prodigy.

The Origin Divine Tree made a mistake by giving its Origin Dao Fruit to this young man; it can only be said that it misjudged him.

"Die!"

As he uttered his word, the Immortal Dao Laws suppressed him, and endless murderous intent suddenly surged forth from the surrounding Void.

Although Li Hao had anticipated this sudden change, his expression still changed.

The Origin Dao Fruit?

Does the other side mean that if we don't attack the Divine Tree, we won't be attacked by them?

Did I attack the Divine Tree by cutting off its roots earlier?

He suddenly realized why the old man was willing to let him intercept it; it seemed that he wanted him to break the rules first. If he did not comply with the old man's wishes or made any other presumptuous moves, the old man could forcefully attack him!

Thinking of this, his expression changed, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

I was just feeling grateful to them, but I never expected that there was a scheme hidden inside.

However, he had no time to think about such things at this moment. Feeling the intense murderous intent surging from all directions, Li Hao's whole body seemed to tremble.

This young man is by no means a simple Immortal Lord Realm, but rather a top-tier Prodigy among them!

The Heaven and Earth Dharma Form!

Li Hao's eyes shone Divine Radiance as he unleashed his Extreme Realm, and the Nine Flowers Immortal Seal appeared on his forehead. At this moment, he could no longer hold back and directly unleashed his full strength.

Bang!

As his Dharma Form Unity with his own, his Immortal Power suddenly surged, unleashing the Battle Heaven Control Method from the Heaven-Following Ancestral Scripture. His Immortal Power amplified ninefold, and he unleashed the Azure Sky Sword Technique.

The dazzling Sword Intent seemed poised to flatten the surrounding forest for hundreds of miles. In a flash, it tore through the Void, creating a gap in the sealing immortal Death Immortal Dao Laws.

He broke free, his hair flying everywhere, and stared at the young man in shock and anger.

"Um?"

The young man seemed surprised that this fellow at the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer could actually break through his attack.

The power and amplification that erupted in an instant surprised him, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

When he saw Li Hao's powerful Aura, he finally realized that this True Immortal Realm guy Heavenly Talent extremely talented and his mastery of Immortal Method and methods should not be underestimated. He might even be able to kill an ordinary Immortal Lord Realm!

True Immortal defeating Immortal Lord in adversity is an incredibly incredible Immortal Lord Realm!

Chill ran through his eyes as he became increasingly convinced that the Origin Dao Fruit had been bestowed upon the young man by the Divine Tree True Form. His Immortal Power surged, and a phantom image of a Dharma Form Image appeared behind him. He raised his hand and pressed down on Li Hao.

"Eight Directions Thunder Annihilation!"

That enormous palm seemed to contain an endless Thunder Prison, so dense it was a deep black color.

"Quickly hide in the Divine Tree, he won't dare to hurt you!"

The old man's voice suddenly echoed in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao paused slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes, but in the end he still rushed towards the golden tree branch as if teleporting.

The young man's expression changed, and he shouted in shock and anger, "Get out here!"

Seeing his expression, Li Hao felt reassured and said, "We have no grudge against each other, you've gone too far!"

"Taking what you shouldn't have taken is not fortuitous opportunity for you, but a calamity!"

The young man said coldly.

Seeing that the other party was convinced that he had taken that so-called Origin Dao Fruit, Li Hao was too lazy to explain, as the more he explained, the more confusing it would become.

He said coldly, "What's your name? Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty, right? I'll remember it!"

"What, you want to get revenge on me?"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the young man couldn't help but sneer.

But seeing Li Hao hiding in the tree trunk with a rather grim expression, he knew that the other party had found shelter and would certainly not come out for the time being.

"Senior, you have driven him away. My Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty will still be on good terms with you from now on," the young man said, turning to the old man.

The old man shook his head and said, "You should go now, don't linger here."

"Are you really going to choose someone with no connections?" the young man asked, his face grim.

That's my business.

The old man said coldly.

The young man's face darkened. He turned to look at Li Hao, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and said, "Since you know I am a member of the Jin Yun Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Family, then remember my name: Jin Fengling! Remember to come find me!"

Hearing his arrogant words, Li Hao knew that he was deliberately leaving his name to lure him into revenge. This was a sign of strong self-confidence. Moreover, since the other party had already exposed his identity, even if he hadn't left his name, Li Hao could still track him down.

He didn't say anything, but simply memorized the other person's appearance.

Jin Fengling didn't say anything more, flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, and flew away, returning to the Origin City.
