True Lord Haotian

But you are already...

Li Hao felt sad inside, his voice hoarse, but he took it as the other person trying to comfort him.

Ying Xiaoxiao saw through Li Hao's thoughts, her eyes Wenrou, and the delicate skin under her eyelids slowly crumbled into powder, the crystalline powder rising against the current and disappearing into the air.

"My Reincarnated Body, accompanying you from the Mortal World to this place, is my favorite lifetime."

Ying Xiaoxiao said softly, "Do you still remember what I said when we first met?"

Li Hao recalled their first encounter, at the roadside Tea Stall, where the girl, like a cool breeze in summer, stepped out from behind the stall and looked at him with poise and grace.

"My name is Ying Xiaoxiao, Ying as in 'born to face calamity,' and Xiao as in 'carefree.'"

What was once just a carefree jest now seems to have become a confirmation of Destiny.

To bear the calamity of today, one must reincarnate through the Reincarnation Time and Space.

How can I see you again?

Li Hao wanted to lift her up, but dared not touch her, fearing it would cause her to perish even faster.

"The Northern Region, the Su Clan... There is a second life of mine there, but this body perished in a calamity, and that life has not yet Awakening..."

Ying Xiaoxiao's Divine Sense voice was soft and faint, her eyes filled with Wenrou and contentment.

Northern Region, Su Clan ... Li Hao memorized these two names and hurriedly asked, "Will I be able to find you at the Su Clan? What's your name?"

"You'll find out when you go..."

Ying Xiaoxiao Whispers, her eyes darting around, and slowly said, "... Could you paint a picture for me?"

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, his eyes reddening slightly, and he said, "Yes!"

Now?

"Now!"

He raised his hand, his Immortal Power gathering at his fingertips. Gazing at the embers that were gradually shattering and disappearing, his eyes filled with the speckled remnants of their decay, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

But he gritted his teeth and continued painting with all his might.

He didn't paint the broken state before his eyes, but rather the radiant state after Time and Space were reversed.

The painting depicts the first time the other person steps out of the Tea Stall, the hem of their clothes fluttering in the summer breeze.

The painting depicts the other person's unparalleled, colorful figure as Descent.

In the Void, Cloudmist churned, Time and Space turned, and the mottled figure in my memory gradually solidified before my eyes, as if leaping out of the Years and standing in front of me.

And the last sliver of the pupil in the girl's eyes gradually faded and shattered, leaving only her gentle Divine Sense:

"I knew it... your paintings are the best..."

Her voice gradually faded away, and her flowing hair, along with her Divine Sense, rapidly collapsed and dissipated.

A large patch remained on its forehead, but as its eyes disappeared, it quickly disintegrated like ashes.

"Promise me, live on..."

The Divine Sense echoed in the wind, then dissipated like a stream of light.

Li Hao stood frozen in place, motionless. When all the light and shadow before him disappeared, time seemed to stand still.

The world seemed to have fallen into a huge void, and everything around it lost its light, becoming dim and shattered.

Only he stood amidst the dark, divine light of the Black Tower, like a Wooden Stake, rooted here for a thousand years.

For a long, long time, the boy's fist clenched tighter and tighter, and golden Divine Blood overflowed from his palm and dripped down.

The painting floating in the air, the girl in Teal-Blue Garment standing in the Void, her eyes lowered, looking at him Wenrou, as if gazing from another Time and Space.

Aura surpassing the True Immortal Realm emanated from his acupoints and rippled from every pore of his body. The All Heavens Star Meridian on his back reappeared, this time extending even further and wider than before, spreading like a spider web and illuminating the Starry Sky.

His Aura continued to rise, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through that bottleneck. A powerful aura belonging to the Immortal Lord Realm emanated from his entire body, as if he had been reborn.

[Painting Dao: Twelfth Stage]

[Painting Heart: The Painting Dao True Meaning]

Add some points to the Path of the Physical Body.

The Twelfth Stage of the physical body lead to the Physical Body Dao True Meaning!

What is the true meaning?

Illusion and reality, truth and falsehood, all All Things are extensions of the Great Dao. The Earth Dao can solidify mountains and rivers, All Things, a grain of sand, a stone, a mountain.

Water Dao are dewdrops, streams, and Abyss oceans.

The Painting Dao True Meaning lies not in colors and seasonings, nor in showcasing skills and aesthetics, but in presenting the sincere Origin that has been preserved through the Years.

That cannot be achieved by skill or decoration, but reaches the very depths of the soul!

As the aura of the Immortal Lord Realm was released, Li Hao underwent a complete transformation, and the Dao Source Immortal Seal on his forehead emitted a terrifying sword cry.

In the Void, the Immortal Dao Laws condensed and extended like chains. The Nine Sequences Great Dao all transformed into nine thick silver chains, and the chains of Sword Dao Law were even shaped like a sword mark, piercing through the Void and coiling around Li Hao.

Seeing this, Old Han's eyes flickered slightly, but there was no smile in them, only sighs and heartache.

Meanwhile, the Great Dream Clan outside were all pleasantly surprised, never expecting that Li Hao would break through at this critical moment and reach the Immortal Lord Realm!

In contrast, the Wind Spirit Race and the Hidden Sea Clan on the other side were taken aback, their expressions turning ugly.

They never expected that this young man would be involved to such an extent that the incomplete Emperor Weapon of the Half-step Emperor Lord would risk breaking through Time and Space and time to save his life, and even the Dao Source Immortal Emperor in the Original True World would personally step forward.

Before the boy was even delivered to the Original True World, the Great Emperor of the Original True World took the initiative to appear in the True Realm and wanted to take him in. Such treatment was something that even the Supreme Personal Disciple had not received.

"He's Immortal Lord..."

"An Immortal Lord has reigned for a century—this should be considered a record-breaking achievement; the youngest Immortal Lord in history, right?"

On the Mountain Range, as the Supreme Emperor's Might subsided, the majesty of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor also receded. Many figures who had been prostrate on the Mountain Summit were now able to barely raise their heads and observe the wondrous sight in the sky.

Then they saw the boy enveloped in the light of the Black Tower undergo a transformation, his cultivation level rising, which was astonishing.

"Immortal Lord..."

Gui Lingyue's eyes were filled with complex emotions. She hadn't expected that the Southern Region Assembly Battle would not have ended yet, and that young man had already climbed to the Immortal Lord Realm. If they were to fight again, she would not even be a match for him.

Not far away, Shen Wuji also saw this scene, but breaking through his realm was not difficult for him. If he hadn't wanted to solidify his foundation, he could have already reached the Immortal Lord Realm.

"Good, well done!"

Shen Wuji muttered to himself, his eyes shining. Although he had suffered a crushing defeat earlier, seeing the young man improve now filled him with a strange sense of excitement and a strong desire to fight again at their peak, and also to see if the young man could use this opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven.

As everyone watched the young man's cultivation level rise, it was no longer surprising that he had broken through the shackles of the True Immortal Realm with his Heavenly Talent.

They looked at the other Emperor's Might above the Cloudmist, wondering how today's conflict would end.

The Supreme noticed the change in Li Hao's Aura, but his eyes remained calm and unchanged.

Whether they are True Immortal or Immortal Lord, they are all dust in front of him, not even ants. Only Immortal King Realm can barely be considered ants, and they need to be crushed to death!

As his Aura gradually stabilized, Li Hao's eyes fell on the painting. There was no joy or sorrow in his eyes, only Abyss, abyss-like stillness, as if all happiness and joy were irrelevant to him.

He raised his hand and gently put the painting away, as if taking the other person's delicate hand in his.

The girl continued to look at him gently, a hint of shyness and joy in her eyes.

After accepting the scroll, Li Hao looked up at the outside of the Black Tower. He had already sensed what was happening outside when he broke through to the Immortal Lord Realm.

"Child, come with me to the Original True World and become my disciple to cultivate."

The voice of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor echoed in his mind, calm yet tinged with compassion.

Li Hao's lips moved slightly, and after a long silence, he said, "Thank you for saving my life, Your Great Emperor. I would like to go somewhere first."

"Where?"

"Northern Region."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor narrowed his eyes, and many traces of the Great Dao and the trajectory of Destiny appeared in them.

He nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll wait for you in the Original True World."

After he finished speaking, Dao Light flew from his fingertip and entered Li Hao's body.

"This is the Domain Seal of the Original True World. Once activated, you can come to the Original True World at any time."

Li Hao felt a vortex-like power swirling within his body, gentle yet Mystery, impossible to discern in detail.

"This is the Mystic Turtle Source Shell. It can conceal your Aura, sever your life force, and ensure your safety! If the shell shatters, I will reveal myself. Although the Heavenly Emperor promised not to pursue you, you should still not linger in the Southern Region."

Hearing these earnest words, Li Hao gazed at the silvery-white treasure that flew towards him and fell silent once more.

He accepted the treasure, looked up, and gazed at the Dao Source Immortal Emperor.

But what he saw was that the other person's face was exceptionally handsome, yet not at all glaring. His eyes were like a deep Abyssal Sea, containing the vicissitudes of Years, yet revealing a touch of kindness.

Li Hao gripped the treasure tightly, then slowly knelt down and kowtowed three times heavily in the air.

"This kindness will be remembered forever!"

Dao Source Immortal Emperor did not stop him, allowing Li Hao to kowtow three times before nodding. Then, he raised his hand and waved it, causing the Void to split open, and a straight passage extended out, leading to a distant place.

"Go."

Dao Source Immortal Emperor said softly.

Li Hao looked up at the road, then turned his head, his gaze falling on the spot where the girl had shattered and disappeared.

He looked at him intently, then turned his gaze to the Old Han in front of him. "Senior, let's go together."

Old Han saw through Li Hao's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "It's alright. Dao Source Immortal Emperor wants to take you as his disciple. He promised me that he wouldn't let the Heavenly Emperor harm me, and neither would your Sect friends. You don't need to worry."

Li Hao's gaze shifted to the Great Dream Clan, then to the Great Dream Nine Abyss on the ground, where those familiar faces were.

Yue Xi, Gu Yan... the two of them also looked at Li Hao at the same time, their eyes filled with worry.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze and looked at the figure in Green-Robed at the edge of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion. Their eyes met, and a hint of pain flashed in Li Hao's eyes before he turned away.

He knew that he was no longer qualified to protect anyone.

"Haotian..."

In the sky, Looking at Mountains and Rivers had broken free from the World Domain of the Immortal Guard Commander. He stared blankly at Li Hao, his aged face now filled with pain.

He knew that if Dao Source Immortal Emperor hadn't intervened, Li Hao would have surely perished.

The Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor's only disciple in this era Heavenly Talent, yet he is powerless to protect him.

The great battle back then was too brutal and cost too much. If those two Emperor Weapons had been there, Li Hao wouldn't have suffered this humiliation today.

Li Hao looked at Old Wang, then turned his gaze to the Dao Source Immortal Emperor beside him. He bowed deeply and said:

"Senior, can you save the lives of my friends?"

Dao Source Immortal Emperor's expression was calm as he said, "You don't need to worry. With me here, the Supreme will not make things difficult for them."

Hearing his words, Li Hao felt relieved and bowed deeply again.

His gaze swept over the other contestants, over the Southern Region, over the Mountain Summit, and finally returned to his own. He then slowly walked along the path that the Dao Source Immortal Emperor had opened for him.

In the Southern Region, there was Old Feng and others, but Li Hao knew that being with them now would only implicate them.

At this moment, he left the Southern Region alone, empty-handed, as if he had walked out of that Divine General Residence.

But back then, the Old Feng company.

Now, he is accompanied only by that Wenrou gaze in his heart, which is also the reason for his journey.

Countless gazes, from various dynasties, Tianzong, and clans in the Southern Region, were fixed on the young man.

The entire Southern Region Assembly Battle was thrown into chaos, drawing in two Great Emperors and Half-step Emperor Lord. He rose from the brink of death to become Immortal Lord. Everyone knows that he did not perish today, and that in the future, they will surely hear the name of that young man again.

However, if the True Immortal Realm is already so Prodigy, who knows what it will be like when they reach the Immortal Lord Realm.

"Master, it seems you haven't gotten your wish this time..."

On the Lone Peak, the old man holding the pole gazed at the scene unfolding before him, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

At the edge of the Cloudmist, Sword Heart and Mingyue watched the young man walk quietly past them. Neither of them expected that the Dao Source Immortal Emperor of the Original True World would step forward for Li Hao and pay attention to this place.

They entered the Original True World intending to study under the three Great Emperors, but now, that young man has preemptively obtained the qualification for further study.

"A Century-Long Promise..."

Mingyue bit her lip slightly. At this moment, she felt a strong sense of urgency. If the other party also entered the Original True World, she really had no confidence in the century-long duel.

However, there is absolutely no way we would admit defeat at this point.

As the Supreme's Direct Disciple, they were on equal footing, and she even had Soul Lifespan over her opponent by several hundred years, so how could she admit defeat?

On the ground, Chu Tianhuang and the others had complicated expressions as they looked at the boy's back, wondering where he was going.

However, with Dao Source Immortal Emperor stepping in, there is no doubt that the other party will definitely have the opportunity to enter the Original True World.

Perhaps we'll meet again there.

"He survived! He actually survived..."

Chu Yueli stared blankly at the retreating figure, somewhat bewildered, but then her face lit up with surprise.

If her fiancé is alive and their Betrothal is fulfilled, given his status, she will undoubtedly achieve great things within the Imperial Clan.

But where is the other party going now?

A look of doubt appeared in her eyes; it seemed the other party had not chosen to leave with Dao Source Immortal Emperor.

Following the passage leading to the deep Starry Sky, Li Hao walked on. Suddenly, he Pause slightly and glanced at a figure beside the passage.

That figure possessed a unique aura, exuding nobility. Above his head, a General Star Descent in the distant sky, its radiance making him appear magnificent and unapproachable.

Emperor Clan, Di Jiming.

When Li Hao's gaze fell on the other party, Di Jiming's expression suddenly turned cold, and he clenched his fists.

He was furious that he hadn't killed Li Hao today, especially since that woman had defeated him at the same cultivation level, which he found even harder to accept.
