Stepping onto the Emperor Path

"Perhaps Mister Jin never hated you."

Li Hao said.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree was slightly taken aback and said, "What did you say?"

Li Hao shook his head and said, "Mister Jin asked me to promise that if I have the ability, I must protect the Origin World, rather than help him reclaim the position that belongs to him."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree trembled slightly, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.

After a moment, she stared at Li Hao and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

I have no reason to lie.

Li Hao said frankly.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree fell silent.

Silence fell over this Divine Tree Secret Realm until a few voices rang out.

"Third Sister, I heard that the one with the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal is this young man?"

"It definitely has the Aura the Fire Dao Origin."

Several powerful thoughts extended into this Divine Tree Secret Realm, then materialized into four figures—three men and one woman—standing around Li Hao, sizing Li Hao up.

Li Hao looked around and realized that they were the manifestations of the Dao Thought of the other Origin Divine Tree.

"Yes, it's him."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree also came to its senses and said to them, "I have completed the contract with him, and he has agreed."

Upon hearing the words of the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, several figures narrowed their eyes slightly, glancing at Li Hao without suspicion. Among them, the Gold-Robed Youth, whose Aura appeared relatively weaker, stared intently at Li Hao and said:

"You bear the Aura of the Golden Dao Divine Tree Dao Fruit. Have you been outside the city?"

Li Hao glanced at him; the latter should be the second Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree that grew from Mister Jin's tree seed.

"That's right."

"Have you seen him?"

Another woman, with bright red hair and a graceful figure, couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao nodded again.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree beside them spoke on Li Hao's behalf, relaying what Li Hao had just said to the others.

"My older Eldest Brother..."

Upon hearing the words of the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, the expressions of the group changed, and their eyes became complicated. The Fire Dao Origin, with his crimson hair, even had tears welling up in his eyes.

"My Eldest Brother is still the same, he hasn't changed. He's always the first to rush out in times of danger."

An elderly man with a hunched back sighed.

He exuded a vibrant, verdant life Aura, yet his face was extremely aged, Wood Dao Origin.

"The more our Eldest Brother acts like this, the more we should make him hate us. Hating us is the right thing to do."

Another burly middle-aged man said that he was the Earth Dao Origin Divine Tree.

"A great calamity Descent at any moment. If the Ancient Demon Clan hadn't been embroiled in internal strife over the Reincarnation Fragment, they would likely have already launched a massive invasion with their combined army. But given the changes in the True Realm, the Ancient Demon Clan will probably join forces soon to annihilate all races."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, whispered.

"This young man possesses the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal and the potential to reach the Emperor Realm. He is indeed worthy of our support. I still have Divine Tree Dao Fruit reserves, precisely for situations like this."

"That's what the Red-Haired Woman said."

The others also looked at Li Hao and nodded slightly, but their eyes held unspoken emotions.

However, with Li Hao, an outsider, present, they didn't go into details, but at that moment their minds were filled with thoughts of the Eldest Brother outside the city.

"Young man, are you willing to form a pact with us Future protect the Origin Secret Realm and the passage to the Myriad Races of the True World Heavenly Prodigy?"

The hunched-over Wood Dao Origin asked in a deep voice.

Li Hao looked directly at the other person and nodded, saying, "Of course, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact."

As I spoke, images of Poetry and Literature, and experience flashed before my eyes.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected that a casual remark from an ancient saying could be considered as a source of Poetry and Literature knowledge.

It seems that only profound truths or poetry can provide one with Poetry and Literature experience.

His skills in Poetry and Literature and Musical Rhythm were only at the Sixth Dan, making his progress the slowest among all his skills. However, Li Hao felt that other skills, such as Angling, would bring about great changes in cultivation and enlightenment after reaching the Tenth Dan. Including the Nine Orders, if he could break through to the Eleventh Dan in Poetry and Literature and Musical Rhythm, there would likely be incredible changes as well.

However, the difficulty in learning and comprehending it is greater than that of other skills.

"That's right. Your understanding of this principle certainly earns you a Divine Tree Dao Fruit."

The burly middle-aged man spoke, his eyes revealing admiration.

"We, the Dao Thought, have come here. Once you have had enough time to meditate here, come to our place. Not only will you receive the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, but you will also receive our essence Sweet Dew as a gift."

The Red-Haired Woman spoke to Li Hao with a look of affection in her eyes. She could sense that the young man before her possessed a pure Fire Dao Origin and had a considerable level of comprehension.

Li Hao looked at the other party, his eyes showing goodwill. Cooking a dish had allowed him to comprehend the Primal Chaos Divine Fire, giving him a deep understanding of the Fire Dao, and he also naturally loved and was Fire Dao Origin.

"Good."

Li Hao agreed, cupping his hands in thanks, "Thank you all, seniors. If I have the strength in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."

We'll talk about it later.

The Wood Dao Origin the Way of Peace. They admire Li Hao, but having lived for countless Years, they have also seen Prodigy with the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal like Li Hao. However, there are also those who unexpectedly perish, causing their expectations to be dashed.

Nevertheless, they were still willing to dedicate their efforts to such Prodigy, since they had no other choice.

As the Dao Thought dissipated, the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said to Li Hao, "You should start comprehending this. If I'm not mistaken, you only had the opportunity to come here because of this Southern Region Assembly Battle, right? You don't have much time left."

Li Hao nodded, then condensed the surrounding Immortal Power into ink and splashed it in front of him.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree was somewhat puzzled by Li Hao's actions, but did not make a sound to disturb him.

Li Hao also immersed himself in cultivation and enlightenment.

Time flies.

The Divine Tree Dao Fruit bestowed by the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree was absorbed and digested by Li Hao. He continued to paint here, creating one after another wondrous scene of the Origin Secret Realm. His Painting Dao experience had long since reached the bottleneck of the Eleventh Dan level.

In his painting, he constantly perceived the layers of space, Water Dao, and Earth Dao Origin, but because of the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, his perception of the Water Dao was the deepest, and his understanding of the Water Dao gradually deepened, making his paintings more Perfection and reaching the top limit of the Eleventh Dan.

However, Li Hao still couldn't grasp the Painting Dao State of Mind, perhaps due to the influence of the Water Dao Origin, which filled his mind with insights into the Water Dao Origin.

In the blink of an eye, Li Hao's Water Dao Origin unknowingly advanced from the second level to the third level, and then broke through the bottleneck to enter the Origin Fourth Level!

However, when Li Hao reached the Fourth Layer of the Water Dao Origin, his understanding of the Water Dao Origin underwent a tremendous change. This level was already close to the Immortal Lord Realm that the two people he had climbed to earlier had reached.

However, Li Hao felt that he was still far inferior to Boya Xuejian in terms of the Water Dao Origin.

After the Divine Tree Dao Fruit was fully digested, the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree sent Li Hao a handful of Divine Tree Sweet Dew. It was a clear, turquoise sap, as crystal clear as morning dew, and exuding a fragrant aroma.

After taking it, Li Hao felt as if all the pores on his body had opened up, and he felt as if he were merging with the soul milk of the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

Under that wondrous feeling, he seemed to have touched a deeper level of the Water Dao Origin, and the Water Dao Origin was further enhanced, reaching the limit of the Origin Fourth Level, and faintly touching the Fifth Layer level.

"I have nothing left to give you. Come back ten thousand years from now, and I will give you a portion of Sweet Dew."

The beautiful woman, an incarnation of the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, gazed at Li Hao and spoke.

Li Hao nodded and asked, "How long have I been here?"

"Almost a year."

"So long..."

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. No wonder the True Realm that a thousand years is but a blink of an eye. He felt as if he had been immersed in cultivation and absorption, yet a year had passed.

In the past, I could have accomplished a lot and played many games in a year.

But he also knew that the Great Dao Origin was extremely profound, and with just one absorption and comprehension, his consciousness had already traveled a vast distance.

"Thank you, senior." Li Hao bowed and bid farewell to the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

It's been seven years in total, and he's been here Past two years now.

Having spent more than half a year in Shanghai, Heavenly Dao Bridge, he didn't have much time left.

"I will send you directly to my second brother's Divine Tree Secret Realm."

"This is what the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said."

Immediately, she raised her hand and waved it. Li Hao felt the azure Secret Realm before him disappear, and a verdant Secret Realm surrounded him. The space remained vast and boundless.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree had vanished, replaced by the hunched old man we had seen before.

"You've come."

The Wood Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao with a kind expression, then took out Divine Tree Dao Fruit and handed it to Li Hao, "Let's begin."

Li Hao bowed in thanks, then completed the contract with the Divine Tree Dao Fruit.

After consuming the Dao Fruit, he began to close his eyes and meditate.

Time flies.

Within the Five Dao Origin City, Spiritual Burst occur once a year, attracting numerous competitors.

As time went by, more and more people came to the Five Dao Origin City.

Three years have Past in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Li Hao was standing in the Secret Realm of the Fire Dao Origin Divine Tree.

He was Cooking the remaining Ancient Demon Corpse from the Heaven and Earth Space, devouring them in front of the Red-Haired Woman.

"Your cooking skills are really good."

The Red-Haired Woman smelled the delicious aroma of Li Hao's Cooking and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, while also becoming more convinced of what Li Hao had said earlier.

Feeding on Ancient Demon, the boy before her was more trustworthy than she had imagined; even without a contract, she felt she could trust him.

Li Hao smiled, finished eating, and continued Cooking. However, as he Mastery the heat, the Divine Tree Dao Fruit he had consumed was gradually digested, and his Fire Dao Origin realm broke through from the third level to the Origin Fourth Level!

"Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, Fire, Earth..."

As Li Hao broke through the Fire Dao Origin, he suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in his mind, as if he had been struck by something, and felt a kind of dazed feeling.

When the Five Dao Source reached the same level, he suddenly felt that, in addition to mutual generation and restraint, there seemed to be a terrifying cyclical force among these Five Daos.

That power entwines between the Five Daos, endlessly regenerating like Reincarnation, capable of unleashing incredible and unique power.

"Um?"

The Red-Haired Woman looked at Li Hao and suddenly sensed something was wrong; a terrifying fluctuation appeared in Li Hao's Aura.

She paused for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened slightly. That terrifying fluctuation gave her a familiar feeling, as if a long-sealed memory had been unlocked.

That was in the very beginning, when the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor established the Five Dao Origin City and created them.

At this moment, that terrifying fluctuation actually overlapped slightly with the Aura released by the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor who created them!

"He..."

The Red-Haired Woman froze, then her heart suddenly raced, and she hurriedly called for the others.

Soon, the hunched old man and the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree appeared in this Secret Realm, looking at the young man in the arena with surprise.

The boy closed his eyes, his body seemingly undergoing some terrifying change, entering a metamorphosis.

"This Aura..."

The hunched old man's eyes snapped open, flashing with a terrifying light, revealing astonishment. "This is the feeling of Lord Wu Jue!"

"That's right. Could it be that he, like Lord Wu Jue, has comprehended Lord Wu Jue's Emperor Dao?!"

"If I'm not mistaken, he has reached the Fourth Layer of Five Daos realms. Perhaps he really has the opportunity to suddenly comprehend the Emperor Dao's Path of the Five Absolutes!"

The group was all pleasantly surprised. They hadn't expected this young man to be so Prodigy, actually touching the path to Emperor Dao in the True Immortal Realm. This was simply terrifying!

"However, Lord Wujue has already walked the path to Emperor Dao. Even if he were to retrace that Emperor Path and reach its peak, he could only become Half-Step Emperor Realm, unable to truly become an emperor!"

"Every Great Emperor's path is unique and can only be walked once. Even if he completely replicates it, he cannot become Immortal Emperor."

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for him. I hope he can personally experience the Emperor Path, but also break away from the Five Greats' Emperor Path and forge his own Emperor Dao!"

"Regardless of the circumstances, he has entered the Emperor Dao, and at least among those below the Emperor Realm, he will be an existence that is difficult to surpass!"

The group whispered among themselves, their eyes reflecting a mixture of excitement and worry.

Li Hao was excited because he had comprehended the Emperor Path. Apart from not being able to become Immortal Emperor, the realms he would reach along this path would be incredibly formidable.

However, the concern is that if he is too deeply affected and unable to escape, the Emperor Path will become Li Hao's prison.

Making it powerful will also lead to its destruction.

Unless one can reach the pinnacle once again and forge their own Emperor Dao!

At this moment, the terrifying fluctuations emanating from Li Hao grew stronger and stronger, making the others tremble with fear. They understood even more clearly that this young man had truly touched upon the Emperor Dao of that Five Great Masters.

Judging from the young man's current performance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he has inherited the legacy of the Five Greats.

However, although the Immortal Emperor accepts Personal Disciple, he will not let Personal Disciple follow his path. After all, following one's own path only results in one's own shadow. The Immortal Emperor usually cultivates Personal Disciple with the hope that they will cultivate another Immortal Emperor.

If one's disciples have no hope of surpassing them, then there is no need to train them at all.

"All Things in the world are inseparable from the Five Daos... If the Five Daos were to disappear, the world would perish. The Five Daos are both creation and Destruction, both life and despair!"

Li Hao's thoughts shifted, and Five Dao Source surrounded him, slowly merging together, giving birth to a terrifying power.

Five-colored rays of light appeared around him, embracing his body like lotus flowers.

The five-colored Lotus Pedestal rose from beneath his feet, gathered above his head, and then slowly transformed back into a light, floating five-colored Lotus Pedestal.

The Lotus Pedestal platform contracted, transforming into five-colored rays of light.

The five-colored light gradually lengthened, transforming into a Sword Qi.

This sword strike contains Five Daos, as well as Li Hao's own Sole Self Sword Dao.

Or rather, at this very moment, Li Hao is integrating these Five Daos powers into his own Sole Self Sword Dao.

Only by experiencing all All Things can one truly eliminate All Things.

Five Absolutes Sword Slash!

Bass!

As Li Hao opened his eyes, a Sword Qi suddenly slashed out.

In an instant, Five Daos beams of light burst forth with countless Divine Radiance, streaking across the Secret Realm. They did not strike any object, but instead emitted a terrifying Aura that made people tremble with fear.

The people surrounding Li Hao opened their eyes slightly, their eyes filled with shock. They were shocked that Li Hao had actually taken that step and touched the Emperor Path of the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor, and they were also shocked that Li Hao, in addition to comprehending the Nine Orders, actually had such terrifying attainments in the way of the Sword Dao!

Li Hao's Sword Dao at the Third Dan, but at this moment, his Sword Dao level had improved.

This was the first time Li Hao had improved his Sword Dao from the Third Dan to the Fourth Dan without the aid of the Panel, and even reached the peak of the Fourth Dan in one fell swoop!

Sword Dao encompasses the power of the Five Daos, as well as the various Sword Dao from different dynasties that were previously exchanged.

Li Hao felt that if he continued to cultivate and refine his skills, his Sword Dao would soon break through to the Fifth Layer of the Sword Dao Origin!

"The Aura Soul Lifespan he just displayed seems to be only a hundred years!"

"This is... this is too outrageous!"

As soon as Li Hao drew his sword, his Aura was completely undisguised. Everyone immediately noticed the Soul Lifespan Li Hao was displaying, and their faces showed shock.

I thought Li Hao was like other Heavenly Prodigy, Prodigy participating in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, with Soul Lifespan of around one or two thousand years. I never expected him to be only a mere hundred years old!

To have mastered such a terrifying Sword Dao Nine Orders —this was simply the most Prodigy talent they had ever seen in ten thousand years!

"They seem to have underestimated him!"

"Even Immortal Emperor is no more than this!"

"He truly has a chance to become Immortal Emperor. If he can fuse with the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal and take it a step further to become the Dao Source Immortal Seal, he might even become the youngest Immortal Emperor!"

The group stared at Li Hao in shock, suddenly realizing that their decision was absolutely correct—they had helped a Prodigy who was most likely to become Immortal Emperor!

At this moment, Li Hao also came to his senses. He concealed his Aura and stared blankly at the five Divine Tree Origin incarnations that appeared before him. He then quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Greetings, esteemed seniors.

"Good, good, good, it wasn't in vain that we invested so much in you."

The aged-looking Wood Dao Origin now seemed to radiate youthful vigor, his eyes shining.

"Haotian, we'll remember you!"

"May your name be heard ten thousand years from now, renowned throughout the myriad races of the True Realm!"

They all looked at Li Hao with excited eyes, full of anticipation for his Li Hao.

"You must be careful to conceal your strength, lest you be ambushed by spies from the Ancient Demon Clan," the Red-Haired Woman warned Li Hao.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, then nodded seriously.

Through his interactions with the Divine Tree, he also sensed the Destiny of the Myriad Races of the True World fighting against the Ancient Demon; that great war would inevitably arrive sooner or later in the not-too-distant future.

The reason he was able to receive the help of the five Divine Tree this time was because of that Future great battle; otherwise, they would not have invested the Divine Tree Dao Fruit into him.

"Come to me. You've already eaten your Eldest Brother's Dao Fruit, so eating mine won't have much effect, but I can give you my Sweet Dew."

"That's what the Gold-Robed Youth said."

Li Hao nodded.

The others didn't try to stop Li Hao, knowing that Li Hao time in this Origin Secret Realm was limited.

Following the Red-Haired Woman's action, Li Hao entered the Gold-Robed Youth's Divine Tree Secret Realm.

Time passed.

Several months later, Li Hao emerged from the Golden Dao Divine Tree Secret Realm.
