Comprehending the Painting Dao

The Main Peak the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect.

When Li Hao and his group returned, the place was already bustling with activity and packed with people.

Elders and inner disciple from Nine Abysses gathered on the Main Peak, eagerly awaiting the return of their Nine Abysses disciples who had fought in battle.

"They're back!"

"Look, that looks like that Prodigy from Sword Abyss."

"That's right, it's him, Sword Abyss Haotian. Seven years ago, he ranked among the Top Ten in the Ancient Immortal Realm and even defeated an Imperial Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm!"

"I never expected there to be someone even more terrifying than our Senior Brother Ye Chen the Spear Abyss. Has the Sword Abyss finally blossomed?"

The elders and disciples of Nine Abysses were all discussing it, their expressions filled with excitement as they saw Li Hao and the others returning bathed in the immortal light of the Teleportation Array.

Although it had been seven years since they last saw Li Hao, the young man had left a deep impression on them. It was simply unbelievable that he had made it into the Top Ten among all the Heavenly Prodigy of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.

Moreover, Li Hao defeated Chu Tianzheng at the True Immortal Realm, creating a legend of adversity, which made him famous throughout the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.

"It's so lively."

Murong Qingwu, Gu Yan, and the others looked around and felt the enthusiasm of the crowd.

Li Hao glanced around and spotted Li Tiemu in the crowd, then immediately flew over to Past.

"So, you must have gained a lot from these seven years of studying in the Origin Secret Realm!"

When Li Tiemu saw Li Hao land, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded. In this Origin Secret Realm, his Immortal Seal was upgraded to the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, which was indeed a great gain. In addition, he comprehended all Five Daos to the Fourth Layer and unexpectedly glimpsed the Emperor Dao from Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, which was also an extremely terrifying boost to his combat power.

Li Hao himself doesn't know how strong he is now, but if he were to fight Chu Tianzheng again, he feels that he could decide the outcome with just a casual sword strike.

"Thanks to you, my Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect is now one of the two great sects, Yan, Chu, and Xianchaotian!"

Li Tiemu smiled at Li Hao and said, "Although the Southern Region Assembly Battle has not yet begun, your ranking and amazing performance in the Ancient Immortal Realm have already led the Imperial Family to elevate our Sect's status ahead of schedule. Once the Southern Region Assembly Battle ends, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we will surely be recognized as the Heaven One Sect and regain our former glory!"

As he spoke, his eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement.

"He's already been promoted ahead of schedule?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but he didn't feel it too deeply. For him, even if Great Dream Nine Abyss became Heaven One Sect, his mood wouldn't be greatly affected.

But he knew that in this ancient Sect, there were many old-timers like Old Man Li who were fighting for this cause.

"This is all thanks to you. When you have time later, go back to Sword Abyss. The Abyss Master said he will reward you handsomely when you return."

Li Tiemu smiled and said to Li Hao, his eyes full of pride.

"As a disciple of Sword Abyss, this is simply my duty," Li Hao said.

Li Tiemu laughed and said, "Don't be modest, kid. Not only do you have it, but they all have it too. Let's see what the Dream Master will give you first. Speaking of which, how come you're still only at the ninth True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer? The Southern Region Assembly Battle is about to begin. You should be able to reach the Tenth Layer of Perfection, right? If you don't have enough Immortal Stone, I'll give you some."

"I have no shortage of Immortal Stone, I just haven't had time to cultivate. I can advance my cultivation level in the next few months."

Li Hao said.

Li Tiemu said, "The difference between the Ninth Heavenly Domain and Tenth Layer is still huge, almost double the difference, exceeding the span of the previous three or four True Immortal Realm levels. Once you reach the Tenth Layer, I feel that there won't be more than three True Immortal Realm Group in this Southern Region Assembly Battle who can defeat you."

"So much?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised.

Li Tiemu was taken aback, then fell silent for a moment, saying irritably, "You call this a lot? This is a collection of Heavenly Prodigy from all the major Sacred Land and Forbidden Zone of the entire Southern Region. The Seven Great Ancient Immortal Dynasties are vast and boundless. You are already the first person in the Yan-Chu True Immortal Realm, but whether there are any others in the other six Immortal Dynasty who can compare to you is still unknown."

"Moreover, some Demon always emerge from that Heavenly Palace, and they are ridiculously strong. If the Heavenly Palace Supreme were to Personal Disciple into battle, then it would be hard to say what would happen."

"Supreme's Direct Disciple?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. He knew that the Heavenly Palace Supreme was the Immortal Emperor, and the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple were of extremely high quality, which he had felt when he received the inheritance.

"Um."

Li Tiemu nodded, "A thousand years ago, the Supreme took in a Personal Disciple, who was a newborn infant at the time. It is said that he was brought from the Original True World, Bloodline was extremely mysterious. He was born with the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, and behind him was the phantom of an ancient Human Emperor..."

He sighed softly, "Such Prodigy is unheard of. If he truly grows up, he will definitely be invincible among those of the same realm."

Li Hao was somewhat stunned. A natural Dharma Form?

This is almost too Prodigy, defying the heavens.

"Don't overthink it, and don't put too much pressure on yourself. With the Supreme's guidance, even the Supreme's youngest Personal Disciple might already be at the Immortal Lord Realm by now, unless he deliberately suppresses his cultivation to comprehend the Nine Sequences Immortal Seal, in which case he might only be at the True Immortal Realm."

Li Tiemu comforted Li Hao.

Li Hao's mind was in turmoil, and he suddenly realized that there was always someone more powerful than him.

At this time, the other Heavenly Prodigy from Nine Abysses also returned to their respective abysses.

On Sword Abyss's side, besides Li Hao, Lin Mingrong, another old woman's apprentice, also performed quite well.

But in terms of sheer strength, Li Hao is undoubtedly number one, while Gu Yan could be considered second.

Although Li Hao and Gu Yan were the last to join the sect, their combat strength was actually the strongest in Sword Abyss.

"Ye Chen, how did it go? Did you pass the test of the Chaos Secret Realm and proceed to the Origin Secret Realm?"

Inside the Spear Abyss, an elder anxiously inquired of Su Yechen beside him.

Among the Great Dream Nine Abyss, apart from the Prodigy of the Sword Abyss, Su Yechen has the highest ranking on the Immortal Stele. Moreover, he is now at the Immortal Lord Realm, making him the only Immortal Lord Realm contestant in the Great Dream Nine Abyss.

"Master, there's no need to worry. The trials of the Chaos Secret Realm are not difficult for me. I cultivated in the Origin Secret Realm for five years and gained a great deal. It's a pity that I didn't capture the Space-Time Dao Origin and couldn't go to the Time-Space Origin City. I could only settle for second best and cultivate in the Form Control City, but I still gained a lot."

Su Yechen smiled to comfort his nervous Master beside him, but as he spoke, his gaze couldn't help but drift into the distance.

He thought that breaking through his bottleneck and becoming the only Immortal Lord Realm contestant in the Sect would make him the center of attention, but unexpectedly, his brilliance was completely overshadowed because of that young man.

"Five years, that's good."

Elder Spear Abyss breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Apart from Haotian of Sword Abyss, you are the most promising candidate this time. You must make the most of the remaining Three Months. If you need anything, just tell me. Don't get distracted and neglect your cultivation."

"Good."

Su Yechen nodded.

At this moment, as the cheers outside grew louder, the figure of the Dream Master appeared, an external avatar, standing as large and imposing as Dharma Form.

The Dream Master surveyed the entire scene with an indifferent gaze, as if shrouded in mist, yet exuding majesty. However, when his eyes met Li Hao's, a hint of Wenrou appeared in his gaze.

"There are only Three Months left. You have just come out of the Secret Realm, so you must make sure to recuperate properly. The Sect will give each of you 30,000 Immortal Stone to ensure that you can completely absorb Mastery the Great Dao you have comprehended."

The Dream Master spoke softly, his voice as ethereal as drifting smoke, saying, "If you can rank among the top one thousand in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, your Sect will reward you with a set of top-tier Immortal Weapon. If you can advance one hundred places in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, you can become my disciple and my Personal Disciple!"

Upon hearing her words, the crowd outside the venue gasped in astonishment, filled with envy and excitement.

Becoming Personal Disciple of the Dream Master means having the potential to become the Sect Master of the Great Dream Nine Abyss!

What a precious opportunity this is!

However, advancing to the top 100 in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, where geniuses Heavenly Prodigy, is a daunting task.

"Kid, you'd better keep it up."

Li Tiemu transmitted his voice to Li Hao.

Li Hao remained silent. He wasn't particularly interested in becoming the Dream Master's Personal Disciple, but the opportunity to discuss paintings with him would certainly appeal to him.

At this moment, after the Dream Master finished speaking briefly, his figure disappeared, and he also dismissed the crowd gathered on the mountain.

With only Three Months left, time was running out. In this critical moment, the Dream Master did not waste any of Li Hao's and the others' precious time.

Come to my palace.

As the avatar of the Dream Master dissipated, his voice echoed in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao was surprised. He looked around to make sure no one else had heard, and with a guess in his mind, he said to Old Man Li:

"The Dream Master me to Past find her."

"Go ahead, just don't be impolite."

Li Tiemu, clearly having anticipated this, smiled and said.

Li Hao immediately left the Sword Abyss disciples and proceeded along the same route he had taken before.

Li Hao is now extremely well-known in the Great Dream Nine Abyss, and countless gazes follow him wherever he goes.

What is my junior brother going to do?

Yue Xi asked in confusion.

"Haotian was ranked tenth on the Immortal Stele before, and he is the hope of our Sect. The Dream Master is probably planning to give him some guidance to prevent him from going astray. You shouldn't linger here; hurry up and start cultivating."

Li Tiemu didn't mince words and said with a smile.

Yue Xi and Murong Qingwu's eyes showed envy, but not jealousy. They understood that Prodigy like Li Hao, even without guidance, was far superior to them.

Moreover, Li Hao now carries the glory of the entire Sect on his shoulders. Whether the Great Dream Nine Abyss can make a name for itself in this Southern Region Assembly Battle depends entirely on Li Hao's performance.

"Let's go, let's go cultivate as well."

Gu Yan remained calm, spoke to the two women, and then walked towards the courtyard of the Dream Master, which was the Sacred Land of the Langya Painting Realm and the best place for cultivation in the entire Great Dream Nine Abyss.

"Snort."

On the other side, when Spear Abyss Su Yechen saw Li Hao heading to the Main Hall where the Dream Master was, he immediately knew that it was the Dream Master secretly sending a message. A gloomy look flashed in his eyes. As the only Immortal Lord Realm in this battle, the Dream Master hadn't even given him any special care.

However, thinking of Li Hao's ranking on the Immortal Stele, the gloom in his eyes quickly disappeared. He bid farewell to his Master beside him and set off for the Langya Painting Realm.

At this moment, deep within the Langya Painting Realm, in the Main Hall.

"You must have a very strong mentor behind you, right?"

As soon as Li Hao arrived at the Main Hall, the Dream Master, dressed in a light blue robe, asked softly.

She had her back to Li Hao, so her face was not visible.

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't try to hide his feelings and nodded, saying, "Yes."

"To defeat Immortal Lord Realm at the True Immortal Realm level is close to mythology. Even the Prodigy Bloodline couldn't achieve this without a powerful master."

The Dream Master turned around, glancing sideways at Li Hao with breathtaking beauty. "In this Southern Region Assembly Battle, you've become a thorn in the side of many, and news about you has already spread to other Immortal Dynasty."

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, but his expression remained unchanged. He said, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Once you've become famous, it's only natural to be burdened by your reputation."

The Dream Master glanced at him with slight surprise, then smiled and nodded, saying:

"It's commendable that you can see this. A good reputation is one thing, but if you can't bear it, it's just a burden."

"For the next Three Months, don't go anywhere. Just stay here in my Langya Painting Realm. If you want to cultivate, you can ask me anytime. When the Southern Region Assembly Battle begins, you can come with me to the Heavenly Palace to participate in the battle."

"Good."

Li Hao nodded, agreeing readily. With only Three Months left, he didn't plan to wander around.

Seeing Li Hao agree so readily, the Dream Master was somewhat surprised. Previously, Li Hao's insistence on going to the Frontier made her feel that this young man was stubborn and difficult to persuade. This time, she had planned to persuade him properly, since Heavenly Prodigy often have a bit of arrogance. But she did not expect Li Hao to agree so easily.

"I've been planning to have a serious discussion about the Painting Dao with you over the Three Months. Would you be so kind as to grant me that request?"

Li Hao asked.

"The Painting Dao?"

The Dream Master paused slightly, then frowned and said, "Although I enjoy Painting Dao and use it to Entering the Dao the Dao, including this Langya Secret Realm, which was also constructed using the Painting Dao, the Southern Region Assembly Battle is just around the corner. Are you sure you want to spend your time on this?"

"Um."

Li Hao smiled and said, "If you, senior, can Entering the Dao through painting, so can I."

The Dream Master raised an eyebrow slightly, and said with interest, "Is that so? This path is not easy. You can comprehend cultivation through the Painting Dao?"

"Um."

Li Hao nodded.

The Dream Master smiled and said, "Then I'll have to test it out."

Li Hao said, "Before we discuss this, could you please send me a message?"

"Communication? To whom?"

The Dream Master doubt.

"Demon Subduing Division."

"The Demon Subduing Division? Why are you sending them this Communication?"

I'd like them to send me something.

Li Hao smiled. He didn't have many Ancient Demon Corpse left in his Heaven and Earth Space. Now he was Spirit Official of the Demon Subduing Division, and his superior was the Old Celestial Master Gu Changming. He planned to ask Gu Changming for some Ancient Demon Corpse so that he wouldn't have to risk hunting them outside.

"I'm bringing you something?"

The Dream Master was bewildered and couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao simply said that he had a friend from the Demon Subduing Division, and the Dream Master, upon hearing this, did not press further and agreed.

After relaying the message to Gu Changming, Li Hao settled down in the Secret Hall within the Langya Painting Realm.

He used time as his brush, drawing upon Immortal Power to paint the Space Origin Divine Tree.

As the lush, silvery-gray divine leaves unfolded one by one, the outline of the canopy of the Space Origin Divine Tree gradually emerged, and waves of distorted and sharp spatial power rippled through the Void.

"You..."

When the Dream Master saw Li Hao's painting, she was stunned. She had also been to the Origin Secret Realm and recognized it at a glance as the Origin Space Origin Divine Tree.

But at this moment, Li Hao actually drew this Divine Tree?

Moreover, at first glance, it was difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. The Aura of the Space Great Dao wandering around gave her the illusion that the Space Origin Divine Tree Descent the True Realm and stood before her.

For a long, long time.

With each stroke of the brush, the Space Origin Divine Tree was completed.

Li Hao's understanding of the Painting Dao has improved once again, and his perception of space seems to have become more refined.

He was lost in thought, and only after a moment did he remember that the Dream Master was still before him.

"Your Space Origin realm has Fourth Layer, the Water Dao is also at Fourth Layer, and the Earth Dao is also at Fourth Layer..."

The Dream Master's eyes were filled with shock and a hint of complexity.

When Li Hao was painting, he naturally exuded the Aura the Great Dao Origin. Only then did she realize that this young man had actually cultivated three of the Nine Orders to the Fourth Layer. This was simply unbelievable!

It should be noted that Li Hao is currently only at the True Immortal Realm. Such progress would be considered Heavenly Talent gifted and rare even among the Immortal Lord Realm.

"Senior, could you please give me some pointers and point out any shortcomings?"

Li Hao spoke to the Dream Master with sincere eyes. Just from the Langya Painting Realm, Li Hao could tell that the Dream Master's Painting Dao surpassed his own, and he was now humbly seeking knowledge.

The Dream Master stared at the Space Origin Divine Tree, her expression no longer casual. At this moment, she believed that, apart from herself, this young man before her was also someone who used the Painting Dao to comprehend the Great Dao Origin, and his Heavenly Talent was terrifyingly strong!
