Time-Space Origin City
Li Hao estimated that it had been five years since he arrived at the Five Dao Origin City, plus the half-year he spent on the Heavenly Dao Bridge, making it almost six years.
There is less than a year left before the Southern Region Assembly Battle.
He originally thought he would only stay in the Five Dao Origin City for a year or two at most, but he never expected that a single cultivation and comprehension session would last for a year.
"I wonder if Gu Yan and the others have come in yet. Is it easy to capture the Great Dao Origin on the Heavenly Dao Bridge now?"
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself, "I had intended to reserve some time to discuss the Painting Dao with the Dream Master, but now it seems I don't have enough time."
Li Hao planned to take another look at the Time-Space Origin City during the remaining time.
"Haotian, this is our Origin Divine Leaf. Please keep it safe."
Knowing that Li Hao was leaving, the Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree did not try to stop him, but simply handed Li Hao five Divine Tree Origin.
"In times of crisis, you can summon our Dao Thought avatars to shield you from disaster; they possess power comparable to the Tenth Layer of the Immortal Lord Realm!"
"The Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree spoke solemnly."
Li Hao was slightly taken aback as he looked at the five original divine leaves, each with a different Origin Divine Leaf, and felt a warm current flowing through his heart.
Along the way, he not only saw many beautiful sights, but also met many people who touched his heart.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Li Hao said.
"You are our hope, why are you being so polite?" the Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree laughed.
Li Hao accepted the five Origin Divine Leaf Leaves and then bowed to say goodbye.
The Golden Dao Origin Divine Tree did not try to keep them, only saying goodbye.
Li Hao flew through the Five Dao Origin City and soon arrived at the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree. He saw Boya Xuejian Jian sitting cross-legged on a branch at the top of the tree canopy, meditating with their eyes closed.
The Aura of Water Dao flow emanating from the other party was extremely strong. Li Hao's eyes were solemn. At this moment, he had already reached the peak of the Water Dao Origin Fourth Level, and he could vaguely sense that Boya Xuejian seemed to be even stronger than him.
"What a terrifying person."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He then circled around to the other Divine Tree in the Origin City. His eyes searched, and under these Divine Tree, he saw the figures of some Heavenly Prodigy from the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty. They were the same people he had seen in the Ancient Immortal Realm before, and some of them looked familiar.
Among them were some members of the Yan Chu Imperial Family, but they were all ranked after the Top Ten.
"Um?"
After circling around, Li Hao couldn't find Jin Fengling, whom he had encountered earlier, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
But he quickly realized the reason: it had been four years since they last met, and the other party might have already left the Five Dao Origin City to go to the Time-Space Origin City to comprehend.
After all, with that person's cultivation level, he belonged to the first tier among the Heavenly Prodigy of this Southern Region Assembly Battle.
If you want to go further, seizing the opportunity to comprehend the Spacetime Origin is clearly more worthwhile.
Perhaps the reason for coming to the Five Dao Origin City is simply for the promised Divine Tree Dao Fruit.
With these thoughts in mind, Li Hao didn't linger any longer and quietly left the Five Dao Origin City.
As Li Hao stepped out of the spatial vortex outside the city, he reappeared on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
However, the Heavenly Dao Bridge was even more crowded than when Li Hao had been there before.
Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but he quickly realized that there were quite a few people among these figures who were at the True Immortal Realm, just like himself.
He suddenly realized that people from other levels were arriving one after another, vying for the Great Dao Origin.
The group of top Heavenly Prodigy who went directly to the Ninth Layer have long since disappeared.
Li Hao looked around and saw only unfamiliar faces.
He flew down from the Heavenly Dao Bridge at high speed, scanning the area below with his Divine Sense, but he did not see Gu Yan, Yue Xi, or any other members of the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect.
"More than five years have passed. They should have passed the test of the Chaos Secret Realm and arrived here by now. Could they have been blocked outside the Ninth Layer?"
Li Hao's eyes flashed as he recalled Chu Tianhuang's previous assistance. He immediately moved, rushing out of the crowd and returning to the Origin Reception City.
Upon arriving in the city, Li Hao quickly located the Grand Tutor Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty in his hospital room.
The old, dilapidated courtyard was very conspicuous. Li Hao arrived quickly and saw the Grand Tutor leisurely brewing tea and Chess in the courtyard, drinking and playing alone.
"Um?"
Sensing Li Hao's Aura, the Grand Tutor was taken aback, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you back?"
"Senior, I need your help." Li Hao quickly cupped his hands in greeting.
The Grand Tutor couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Just say it. I'm here to take care of you little rascals."
"I have some friends who may be in other layers of the Origin Secret Realm, but I'm not sure. I wonder if you could help me find them, or if you've ever seen them?" Li Hao said politely.
The Grand Tutor chuckled, "This is such a small matter. I thought you were asking me to capture the Great Dao Origin for you to go to the Time-Space Origin City!"
He released his grip on her hand, clapped his hands, and asked, "What do your friends look like?"
Li Hao immediately raised his hand and used his Immortal Power to condense images of Gu Yan and the others, as well as Lin Qingying, in the Void.
The Grand Tutor glanced at him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said to Li Hao, "You lad, it seems your Great Dao has improved considerably these past few years."
Li Hao was startled. He had only been painting casually, without using any Great Dao Origin, so how could this be sensed?
"It's good to see improvement, why be nervous?" The Grand Tutor couldn't help but smile, then said, "I remember the ones you mentioned; they're all quite Heavenly Talent. If this Southern Region Assembly Battle had been delayed for several hundred years, perhaps they would all have had a chance to advance into the first tier."
"Have you seen it?"
Li Hao was taken aback, then breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where are they?"
"They've already Heavenly Dao Bridge, but I don't know which Origin City they've chosen," the Grand Tutor said, shaking his head.
Li Hao was stunned, not expecting that Gu Yan and the others had already gone to the Origin City.
But I haven't seen them in the Five Dao Origin City. Could it be the Time-Space Origin City? Or the Form Control? Or perhaps the most ordinary Chaos Origin City?
However, Gu Yan's Sword Dao Heavenly Talent is unparalleled, so it seems quite normal for him to choose to go to the Chaos Origin City.
After all, the Sword Dao lies within the Chaos Origin City.
Furthermore, the Great Dao Origin of Chaos Origin City is extremely easy to capture; any Great Dao Origin can be captured and led to Chaos Origin City.
"Thank you, senior." Li Hao quickly expressed his gratitude and put away the Immortal Power portrait in front of him.
"Are you planning to come out and greet them? Who are they to you? Every second in this Origin Secret Realm is extremely precious; there's not much time left."
The Grand Tutor said.
Li Hao nodded and said, "This junior will take his leave now."
"Go."
The Grand Tutor waved his hand, neither trying to stop nor delaying Li Hao. But just as Li Hao was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait, kid, when you first came here, didn't you move one of my Chess Piece?"
Li Hao was taken aback, then turned around and said, "I couldn't resist the urge when I saw it."
"It really was you, kid!"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor's eyes lit up, but then he showed a regretful expression and said, "If time weren't so precious, I would definitely keep you here for a game with me. Since I came here, it's been so long since I've played against Elder Yuan. I can't even find a decent opponent."
"Are you talking about the venerable senior Yuan Xinggang?" Li Hao asked.
"You know him too? Oh right, what kind of talk is that? You're from the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, how could you not know him? Have you perhaps played chess together?" The Grand Tutor suddenly became interested, his face full of curiosity.
Li Hao shook his head and said, "There's not much of a chance yet."
The Grand Tutor said with some regret, "You're so young, and your Chess are..."
He seemed about to say something, but suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and said, "You should go now, don't linger here."
Seeing this, Li Hao cupped his hands in farewell, then instantly flew out of the courtyard and returned to the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
Now that Gu Yan and the others have entered the Origin City, Li Hao no longer needs to keep the Great Dao Origin in his possession.
He arrived at the Heavenly Dao Bridge and saw that the bridge was constantly bombarded with Immortal Arts, making it extremely crowded. Many people had also gathered outside the bridge, all waiting to get on.
The people on the bridge couldn't hold on for long and went down to rest.
"This Nine Sequences Great Dao Origin is too difficult to capture. Does that mean we have no choice but to go to the Chaos Origin City?"
"I've only been here for half a year, and I want to try again. If I can comprehend the Nine Sequences Great Dao, I can replace a Nine Sequences Immortal Seal as soon as I cross the threshold!"
Under the bridge, many people were talking, their brows furrowed with worry.
Some people even sit cross-legged outside the Heavenly Dao Bridge to cultivate, where the Great Dao Origin flows, making it Sacred Land for cultivation far superior to the outside world.
Li Hao paused briefly, then couldn't contain himself any longer. He used his Spatial Origin Fourth Level to tear through the Void and fly onto the bridge.
Why isn't that person in line?
"That's too arrogant! Let's teach him a lesson when he comes down!"
Those waiting to cross the bridge were enraged by Li Hao's actions, their faces showing anger.
But soon, the Anger on their faces turned into shock.
Why isn't he being attacked with Immortal Arts?
"It seems like no Immortal Arts attacks are targeting him!"
"His Dao Domain seems to emanate the Aura of the Time-Space Great Dao. Who is this Heavenly Prodigy?!"
An uproar erupted under the bridge; everyone was shocked.
It is extremely rare for the True Immortal Realm to master the Spacetime Origin, and to be able to walk safely on the bridge is something they have only heard of among the earliest Nine Flowers Immortal Seal Heavenly Prodigy who were here.
While everyone was shocked and discussing, Li Hao did not delay. Most of the True Immortal Realm around him had ordinary backgrounds, and it would be a waste of time to try to sell them the Great Dao Origin. He directly took out a Space Origin and used it to draw out the passage of the Time-Space Origin City.
Li Hao planned to refine the remaining Great Dao Origin.
This Great Dao Origin can not only serve as a key to the Origin City, but it can also be absorbed to increase the spirituality of the Great Dao and enhance one's understanding of Great Dao.
Soon, Li Hao's figure was absorbed by the Time-Space Origin City passage and disappeared on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
Those below the bridge were all shocked and stared wide-eyed at the sight. That guy at the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer had actually captured the Great Dao Origin as soon as he stepped onto the bridge. Moreover, the Aura when the passage opened seemed to split Time and Space, clearly indicating that it was the Time-Space Origin City that countless people dreamed of!
"Who is that? True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer? I'm not seeing things, am I?"
"It seems a truly extraordinary Prodigy will emerge in this Southern Region Assembly Battle!"
"We'll find out during the great battle. He actually got to go to the Time-Space Origin City, but he arrived too late. I heard that some True Immortal Realm also went to the Time-Space Origin City, but they went earlier, and now it's almost over!"
The Time-Space Origin City.
As soon as Li Hao arrived here, while being teleported through the passage, he saw the entire appearance of the Origin City, which turned out to be a Twin City.
Half of the sky above the city was Seven-Colored Iridescence, with Divine Radiance glow filling the heavens and a dreamlike hue.
On the other side, however, it was silvery-gray, with deep, dark silver Starlight flowing through it, like a mercury vortex.
"Time and space are separated here."
Li Hao's eyes flashed, and he could sense the different Aura emanating from this Twin City. At this moment, he landed, exactly at the dividing line in the center of the Twin City. There was a Square here, with Time on the left and Space on the right.
The Square was deserted and quiet. Li Hao glanced around and then flew towards Time City on the left.
As Li Hao had expected, he saw many figures gathered around a majestic Divine Tree in the Time City.
This Divine Tree is surrounded by seven-colored precious light, majestic as if reaching the heavens, and its leaves seem to flow with crystalline fragments of time, flashing by in an instant.
In those fleeting images, there were occasionally glimpses of the ferocious figures of Ancient Demon and the majestic silhouettes of Human Race Great Emperor.
There was also an army of billions of Immortal Deity charging in the True Realm, and a sky full of fierce flames and Battle Flag.
There is also a majestic mountain, and various races of the True Realm with different faces and skin colors, looking up at the foot of the mountain, and so on.
Li Hao was shocked when he scanned the area with his Divine Sense. In this Time-Space Origin City, even without cultivating, one could see countless fragments of time buried in the past simply by looking at the leaves of the Time Origin Divine Tree!
Before the Time Origin Divine Tree, several figures sat upright. Li Hao glanced around and saw that there were about twenty or thirty people.
He saw many familiar faces among them.
Chu Tianhuang, and the Imperial Daughter Chu Yueli who had previously been entangled with him.
In addition, Li Hao also saw Xing Lan's figure.
Unexpectedly, she also came to the Time-Space Origin City.
Besides that, what surprised Li Hao the most was that he also saw Yue Xi. She was sitting outside the Time Origin Divine Tree, dressed in a snow-white robe, sitting like Fairy in the moon palace, aloof and otherworldly.
Li Hao never expected that Yue Xi could also come to the Time-Space Origin City. On the Heavenly Dao Bridge, the competition for the Spacetime Origin was extremely fierce. He wondered if she had some special method or just incredible luck that the Spacetime Origin happened to appear in front of her and that she managed to catch it.
"Those who come to the Time-Space Origin City are probably all here to comprehend the Time Origin. Space may be powerful, but Destiny cannot prevail; time is the Supreme!"
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He hadn't actually seen the other side of the Space Origin Divine Tree, but he could imagine it was probably quite deserted.
Besides Chu Tianhuang, Yue Xi, and others, Li Hao also saw some of the people he had previously brought here by selling the Spacetime Origin. They were all from other Immortal Dynasty whose combat strength was similar to Chu Tianhuang's.
Li Hao landed and walked towards the Time Origin Divine Tree.
The precious light surrounding the Time Origin Divine Tree acts as a natural barrier, protecting itself. Like other Divine Tree, the barrier will disappear during the Spiritual Burst, allowing cultivators to climb.
At this moment, there were already seven or eight figures on the Divine Tree, each perched on a branch that was constantly rising and falling.
Li Hao glanced around and estimated that the next Spiritual Burst wouldn't be until a few months later.
He wasn't in a hurry and started wandering around the neighborhood.
Everyone else was focused on cultivation and enlightenment, their Dao Domain isolated, and no one noticed him.
Li Hao then went to check on the Space Origin Divine Tree and found only three people there; it was indeed extremely deserted.
"The prestige of the Space Divine Tree has been completely overshadowed by time."
Li Hao sighed inwardly, shook his head, and turned back to the Time Divine Tree.
Having to wait several months, and with nothing else to do, he unfolded his Dao Domain at the outer edge of the Divine Tree and began to carefully paint within it.
