Angling Across Fifty Thousand Years
Seeing Li Hao pass her, Chu Yueli's eyes flashed with shock and anger. She was already at the Immortal Lord Realm, yet she had actually lost to this young man in the realm of Time Origin.
However, she had seen Li Hao's Time Origin Realm on the Heavenly Dao Bridge before, which was not low; otherwise, he would not have been able to evade the Great Dao Lock on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
Moreover, she herself did not specialize in the Time Origin. In order to quickly gain a foothold in the Imperial Clan, and with the inheritance from her mother, she Mastery the Fire Dao of the Nine Orders from a young age.
However, she was not going to the Five Dao Origin City. Although the Fire Dao Divine Tree was there, which greatly improved her, she knew that with her current level of Fire Dao cultivation, it would be difficult for her to gain the Divine Tree's approval and obtain its Divine Tree Dao Fruit.
There will inevitably be people of Chu Tianhuang's caliber in other Immortal Dynasty who will compete with her. Therefore, she chose to broaden her foundation and lay a solid groundwork for the future by coming here to comprehend the Time Origin.
Five years Past, and she has not disappointed her expectations. Originally, she had not even set foot in the Time Origin, but now she has reached the first level of the Time Origin and is striving to reach the peak of the first level!
All of this was thanks to his cultivation before the Time Origin Divine Tree, which bestowed upon him the blessing of the Time Dao, leading to his rapid enlightenment.
"I've only been cultivating the Time Origin for five years. What kind of skill is it for someone to surpass me?"
Chu Yueli gritted her teeth, sneered inwardly, and watched Li Hao's increasingly tall figure, feeling a surge of irritation.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Li Hao followed the Time Origin and continuously accelerated, overtaking one figure after another in the blink of an eye.
Soon, several Aura figures appeared before him, rising against the tide of time.
"Um?"
One of the figures in the imperial robes turned his head and saw that it was Li Hao. His face showed surprise, but he quickly understood. After all, he had seen that Li Hao's Time Origin Realm was not low when he was on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.
"You're here too? Why did it take you so long?"
Chu Tianhuang chuckled and spoke.
I went to look around elsewhere, so I'm late.
Li Hao said.
Chu Tianhuang was slightly speechless, then couldn't help but smile. It was indeed possible that he hadn't seen any trace of Li Hao in the Time Origin City.
"Have you been to the Five Dao Origin City, or the Form Control Origin City?"
Chu Tianhuang inquired.
"Five Daos."
"That guy must be there too, right? Did he get the Divine Tree Dao Fruit?"
Chu Tianhuang asked politely.
Li Hao knew he was referring to that guy, Boya Xuejian. In the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, the other party probably only regarded Boya Xuejian as an opponent, and everyone else was far inferior to him.
Even the third-place member of the Imperial Clan was probably not taken seriously by him.
"I don't know, you can ask him later," Li Hao said. He didn't have the habit of revealing other people's information without permission, especially since he only had a superficial acquaintance with Chu Tianhuang.
Chu Tianhuang nodded slightly, then changed the subject, smiling as he said, "Good luck, this is the last Spiritual Burst. Let's see who can gain the approval of the Time Origin Divine Tree."
"Good."
Li Hao responded, then stepped on fragments of time, rising upstream against the turbulent current.
"Snort."
There were four other people beside him, all at the Immortal Lord Realm, displaying extremely powerful auras.
Hearing Chu Tianhuang's conversation with Li Hao, they both glanced at Li Hao. When they saw that he was only at the True Immortal Realm, their eyes revealed an inscrutable expression, but not disdain, only dissatisfaction.
As True Immortal Realm, being able to catch up with them is Heavenly Talent worthy of attention, and such Heavenly Prodigy will naturally appreciate each other.
But for Li Hao to actually attempt to compete with them for the Dao Fruit is simply overestimating himself.
Being able to keep up with the pace doesn't mean you can become a competitor; these are two different things.
Whoosh!
One of the young men, who let out a cold snort, suddenly rose into the air, breaking through fragments of time in the chaotic river of time, and rushed towards the treetop.
The other three also exerted their strength simultaneously, quickly widening the distance between themselves and Li Hao.
Seeing this, Chu Tianhuang said to Li Hao, "I'm going first," and then unleashed an even deeper Mastery time, like a wisp of light, rapidly swimming through the river of time.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed. These people's Time Origin Realm was not low at all. He felt that they were at least at the peak of the third level.
He withdrew his gaze, his mindset unaffected by the increased distance between them. The Time Divine Tree had already made things very clear when he came out of the Time Origin Secret Realm, and he hadn't really tried to compete for the Dao Fruit.
The purpose of climbing here is to find a good spot to Angling. Even if you don't have Time Divine Tree Fruit, you can still make a great improvement if you catch a big catch.
Because he Non-Contention, no one in the All Under Heaven can contend with him!
Adhering to his own Dao Thought, Li Hao's gaze swept over the surrounding fragments of time. Without being obsessed with the desire to reach the top and compete for the Dao Fruit, his mind instead focused on these countless chaotic and mottled fragments of time.
Each flip of a fragment represents a piece of bygone time.
There are buried Years, and there are his own past, all emerging one by one.
The child, sitting alone amidst the bustling Divine General Residence, gazes up at the Starry Sky in the dead of night.
The young man, born into wealth Xuanhe, spent his days playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, Angling, and playing in the countryside.
Li Hao gazed at the fragment of his sister's body, a slight smile playing on his lips. He saw within it a warmth he had previously overlooked.
While eating pastries with the First Madam, he swallowed too quickly and choked, startling the usually calm and composed First Madam who was in charge of managing the affairs of the Divine General Residence's Mansion.
In the darkness Border Pass the night, under the cold, bright Mingyue, the young man slept soundly in his tent, while outside the tent sat an old figure in the Void, silently watching over him.
"First Madam... Old Feng..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered, his heart filled with longing.
Old Feng followed him to the True Realm and became his disciple, while the First Madam and the others remained in the Tian Yang Pseudo-World.
Li Hao thought that once the Southern Region Assembly Battle was over, he would have time to return to the Tian Yang Pseudo-World for a visit.
I haven't tasted the fragrant crispy snacks from that uncle in the alley of Qingzhou City in a long time.
Among these fragments of time, besides these heartwarming scenes, there are also images of Li Hao fighting Demon, defending the city with a wave of his hand, and his silhouette stepping out of the Divine General Residence amidst the swirling snow.
But now, seeing the hardships he once endured, his eyes have become calm and undisturbed.
He kept moving forward, forward, following the passage of time, rising from humble beginnings in the Mortal World, and now competing with the top Imperial Clan Heavenly Prodigy of various dynasties in this Great Thousand True World.
In the end, the figures of those Imperial Clan were still ahead of him. His Time Origin was at the Third Level Realm, but he had not yet reached the peak, while Chu Tianhuang and the others had already reached the top of the third level.
The Time Origin is more difficult to comprehend than other Great Dao, and reaching the peak of the third level is extremely difficult even for a lower-level Immortal Lord Realm.
Finally, Li Hao seemed to be tripped up, unable to take another step.
He knew he had reached his limit. There happened to be a horizontal branch nearby. A relieved smile appeared on his lips as he leaped Past and landed on the branch.
He didn't look at Chu Tianhuang and the others who were still struggling and sprinting above him. Instead, he sat upright on the horizontal branch, with many other figures at his feet.
Within this Time Origin Divine Tree, although Li Hao was inferior to top experts from various dynasties like Chu Tianhuang, his third level of Time Origin surpassed over 90% of those present.
Seeing Li Hao sitting upright on the horizontal branch, seemingly unreachable, the faces of the many people below who had already reached their limits were complicated.
Most of those who come here are at the Immortal Lord Realm, while those at the True Immortal Realm are relatively few.
At this moment, at this height, Li Hao is the only True Immortal Realm sitting here.
"Asshole!"
Chu Yueli had already stopped, unable to advance any further. Standing on the vine, she looked at the figure on the high branch under the canopy, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes, followed by inexplicable Anger.
"He actually..."
Yue Xi was also slightly stunned when she saw Li Hao's height. She hadn't expected that Li Hao, who had only just arrived here, could actually reach such a high altitude on the Time Origin Divine Tree!
She was somewhat dazed, but finally, a bitter smile slowly appeared on her lips.
Compared to when she first joined the sect, now that she has witnessed Li Hao's various exploits, she no longer has the desire to compete with this junior brother.
She just couldn't understand it.
Even though the other party is extremely ordinary in every aspect, why is it that they can repeatedly create amazing and astonishing feats?
If it were Gu Yan, she could barely understand it, after all, he was a descendant of Ancient Sword Immortal, born with Sword Spirit immortal body and the strongest talent in Sword Dao, but Li Hao didn't seem to have these advantages.
Soon, the turbulent flow of time swept across, enveloping Li Hao's figure until it could no longer be seen clearly.
Everyone else was also swept up in the temporal turbulence, placed in the torrent of time, and could no longer see the others.
They can only cultivate themselves within the flow of their own time.
Li Hao sensed the Dao of Time Dao surrounding him, and a smile appeared on his lips. He used time as a thread, extending it into the surrounding torrent. Countless fragments of time swirled, and his thread extended even deeper.
Then, he closed his eyes, quietly contemplating and immersing himself in Angling.
Angling is a skill that requires quietness, patience, and composure; it also helps to cultivate one's Dao Heart character.
Using time as a thread, he touched fragments of time within the torrent, and that chaotic torrent of time, in Li Hao's delicate perception, was like rippling water.
The Angler senses the changes in the water flow, the extension and pulling of the fishing line, and the movement and state of the prey.
But this time, he wasn't fishing for live creatures; he wanted to fish for something from a more distant past and something hidden.
Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, the Ancient Demon waged a great war against the True Realm; this is a well-known fact in the True Realm.
Li Hao had heard about it countless times, but had never seen it with his own eyes. If he could fish up that tragic and heroic period, he would be able to witness it firsthand.
His mind was in turmoil, sensing the changing fragments of time around him, his heart completely immersed in Angling.
Time slips away quietly.
The Spiritual Burst had ended without anyone noticing, and everyone was immersed in cultivation and enlightenment at various locations within the Time Origin Divine Tree.
The entire Origin City became quiet and still.
As time Past, Li Hao's timeline continued to expand, and he touched upon Time Shard from ten thousand years ago, but that was not what he wanted.
He continued to extend his thoughts, 20,000 years ago, 30,000 years ago... Li Hao felt his consciousness transform into Fishing Line, flowing upstream along the river of time, constantly exploring the Past.
During this process, his consciousness seemed to detach from his physical body, as if it were floating outside the universe.
It was a profound loneliness and fear, as if the soul could be frozen at any moment.
However, Li Hao's Primordial Spirit was extremely powerful. He had previously devoured many Ancient Demons on the Yan-Chu Border, and condensed more than five hundred pieces of Divine Bone, which was no less powerful than the Divine Soul of many Immortal Lord Realm.
His consciousness was bound more and more tightly, but the time he traveled through seemed to stretch further and further away. By the time he arrived Fifty Thousand Years, Li Hao felt as if he had reached his limit.
He could no longer continue his exploration against the current, Angling for the past; Fifty Thousand Years was the most distant Past he could reach at that moment.
Li Hao could only stay here, feeling the fragments of time around him. After a long time, he finally touched one and immediately grabbed it.
As time drew to a close, everything seemed to shift in an instant, and consciousness returned to the body. The timeline before her eyes was stretched out, and a Time Shard appeared.
Li Hao saw that the fragment depicted a scene of a great battle.
The battlefield was a certain Immortal Dynasty, where numerous enormous, sky-covering Demon fought against the powerful figures of that Immortal Dynasty, plunging the world into darkness.
Where is this?
Li Hao was somewhat surprised. Looking at the scene in the Time Shard, the war was extremely large and the territory affected was very wide, but he did not recognize the Immortal Dynasty. Moreover, there were no Ancient Demon in the battle, but various Demon and Immortal Deity.
Finally, as the Time Shard faded away, one of the powerful warriors in the midst of the battle, in the face of utter despair, suddenly transformed into a shooting star and streaked across the sky.
As the light faded, the powerful figure tore through the Void before his death, falling in a misty valley.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then a thought struck him: Fifty Thousand Years, in some unknown place, a war broke out, and the powerful figure involved was at least at the Immortal King Realm.
"Could there be some treasures he left behind before his death in that valley?"
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He then shook his head. Fifty Thousand Years Past; that was a long time. Perhaps it had already been found by someone long ago.
Moreover, he himself is not lacking in inheritance, after all, he has the Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage, and the mere Immortal King Realm is not of much help to him.
However, he can't use it, but others can.
If such a good thing really exists... Li Hao silently memorized this Time Shard. If he could obtain the Great Thousand Topographical Map of the Southern Region True Realm, he might be able to find the point of the fall.
He pulled himself back to the present and continued casting, wanting to Angling, but suddenly the surrounding currents of time surged.
Immediately afterwards, a detached voice rang out:
"You've waited almost enough; it's almost over. Here's a portion of my Origin Dew for you."
As he spoke, a cluster of intensely bright light appeared in the seven-colored torrent before Li Hao's eyes.
Li Hao was stunned. He recognized that indifferent voice; it belonged to the Time Origin Divine Tree.
"Sweet Dew?"
Li Hao was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Senior, what is this?"
"Stop asking, just absorb it well. I believe that in the Future, your name will be remembered throughout the Great Thousand True World."
"The Time Origin Divine Tree spoke," he said in a detached voice.
But Li Hao could tell that compared to the previous coldness, it seemed to have lost some of its chill.
He was somewhat bewildered. The other person's aloof demeanor had previously deterred him from having any intention of getting close, but now, the other person had suddenly offered him Sweet Dew.
However, he still cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior. I will remember this kindness, though you don't need it."
No further sound came from the surroundings.
Li Hao reached out and put away the Sweet Dew.
In the Time Origin Divine Tree Secret Realm, a silver-haired avatar of the Space Divine Tree also stood here. Her face was extremely similar to that of the avatar of the Time Divine Tree, but her expression was gentle Wenrou.
"Sister, are you feeling soft-hearted?"
The avatar of the Space Divine Tree covered its mouth and chuckled softly.
