Fame Across the Emperor Star, the Su Clan's Progenitor (Two chapters in one)
The sword's remaining power dissipated, leaving only the remains of Demon scattered on the ground. The frosty sunlight shone down, but only made the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and the others feel cold all over.
The bright sunlight was Buddha Child.
Within the Dao Arena, the remaining demonic blood and Primordial Spirit were coalescing, and from within a blurry piece of flesh, a mouth materialized, uttering a cry:
"I admit it..."
Bang!
Before the third word could be uttered, a sword suddenly descended, piercing through the mouth and shattering the remaining flesh along with it.
The Sword-Ray sliced through, pulverizing it along with the surrounding demonic blood!
The Tai Xu Ling You.
Dao Arena, the Jiang Family members all had their pupils shrink and their faces filled with shock when they saw Li Hao's displayed Movement Method.
The Movement Method displayed by the opponent was actually the Jiang Family's secret technique, the Tai Xu Ling You Movement Technique!
Such Movement Method require extremely high levels of Primordial Spirit. They are not only the Supreme Movement Technique of the Jiang Family, but also one of the Supreme Movement Technique among the Human Race in the Northern Region!
"Tai Xu Ling You, and has even reached the 'Spiritual Movement' realm!"
Jiang Huanhuan was dumbfounded. How could the other party use the Jiang Family's Movement Method, and even reach such a level? She herself had only just entered the early stage of the Agile Realm after cultivating for so long, but what Li Hao had just used was already at the middle stage of the Agile Realm!
Jiang Qiuyu was also stunned, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes. Stealing knowledge? Or does the other person have a connection with the Jiang Family? Such Heavenly Prodigy must have an extraordinary background. Perhaps the person behind the other person has a connection with the Jiang Family.
However, regardless of the circumstances, Li Hao is fighting for the Northern Region's Human Race this time. Even if he accidentally obtained this Movement Method, she will not pursue the matter. Moreover, she plans to pass on the rest of this Movement Method to Li Hao after this battle, but only to Li Hao alone.
With his ghostly Movement Method and the combined power of the Return to Emptiness Extreme Realm, Li Hao moved with incredible speed, slaying the remaining few Demon Prodigies who weren't quite dead.
Among them Prodigy like Meng Qing, Heavenly Talent was only slightly inferior to Su Muqing's. Li Hao felt there were at least three such individuals, but it didn't matter anymore; he would kill them all!
In the blink of an eye, only Li Hao remained in the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena.
One more sword strike.
The flames of his Primordial Spirit behind him gradually burned out, his Primordial Spirit power declined, and the thousands of Golden Bones on his body were mottled, like broken bones gnawed by wild dogs, their light dimmed, and his Divine Radiance restrained like bronze.
However, the drop of True God Blood within his body meant that, despite the decline in the power of his Golden Bone, his overall Primordial Spirit power was still much stronger than before.
Once the Primal Spirit Golden Bone are fully restored, one will reach their peak again and be able to begin condensing True God Blood!
"You!"
On the Black Warship, the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man watched as Li Hao swiftly slaughtered numerous Demon Prodigies, leaving not a single survivor, without giving them a moment's Pause or a chance. He was so enraged that his face turned ashen.
The Golden-Eyed Middle-Aged Man beside him was also Great Demon at the Half-step Emperor Lord. At this moment, his eyes were filled with a chilling light, as if he wanted to devour Li Hao alive!
Li Hao looked up, his eyes cold and devoid of any fear, staring directly at the three Demons in mid-air.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it; this is the etiquette of our Human Race!"
The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man twitched at the corner of his mouth. What kind of ridiculous etiquette was this? Since we're here, we're going to be buried here?!
Heiji stared blankly at the scene, never expecting that all twenty people who had come with her, except for herself, had died tragically.
Although she didn't say a word to anyone else along the way, exuding an icy Aura that kept everyone at bay, seeing them all die tragically before her eyes still left her with an indescribable feeling.
These are all top-tier Demon Prodigy. If she becomes the Demon Emperor Lord in the future and conquers all directions, they can become top-tier allies among Demon.
That boy... what a cruel heart, what a sharp sword!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Several figures flew in and rushed into the Demon Ancestor's Dao Arena; it was Su Zhenyuan and his group.
They stood guard beside Li Hao, fearing that he might suddenly launch a surprise attack and kill Li Hao.
After all, Li Hao's displayed Heavenly Talent, coupled with his recent attack on the Demon, was enough to drive them into a frenzy of revenge.
"Gentlemen, a bet's a bet, release him!"
Su Zhenyuan stood in front of Li Hao and said coldly, but inwardly he felt a surge of excitement and pleasure.
All twenty prisoners of war are able to go home!
The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man had a gloomy face, but he didn't engage in verbal sparring. Instead, he waved his hand, and all the chains binding the prisoners of war snapped, and the forces that imprisoned them disappeared.
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Having just broken free of their restraints, Lin Ye Qiu, Su Hanshuang, Su Wenyue, and others excitedly ran towards their clansmen.
They can finally go home! They survived! They survived!!
The Three Great Families and other Aristocratic Clan were also excited to welcome their Heavenly Prodigy and outstanding members.
Su Zhenyuan and the others also turned their gazes to their respective family's Heavenly Prodigy, their eyes filled with smiles and satisfaction. Although their attention was diverted, they stood beside Li Hao, their Aura forming a wall that enveloped Li Hao, ensuring that Li Hao would not be ambushed or harmed in any way.
At this moment of celebration and excitement, the figure of the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man suddenly flashed.
Bang!
The World Stone in the Void suddenly shattered, destroyed by some kind of force!
The images projected onto the Demon Domain and various parts of the Emperor Star vanished in an instant.
At the same time, two gentle breezes swept by and Descent beside Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan.
Su Muqing's attention was entirely focused on Li Hao, so she didn't have time to react. Moreover, even if she were on guard at all times, she would still not be able to react in time, because the one who attacked her was the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, Half-step Emperor Lord Realm expert!
Let alone someone of his level, even Immortal King Realm would be enough to instantly kill Su Muqing!
The overwhelming Aura Descent, and Su Zhenyuan and the others, whose attention had been diverted, suddenly reacted. The chains binding the prisoners of war snapped, and the sneak attack by the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and his group happened in the blink of an eye!
Not good!
Su Zhenyuan's expression changed, and Lin Daogong's expression changed as well. Both of them felt their hair stand on end and looked in horror at Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan.
They wanted to make a move, but they were too far away. Their attention was half on Li Hao and half on the prisoners of war. They never expected that they would launch a sneak attack on Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan!
Yes, although Li Hao performed the best, their attention was always on Li Hao, and they were wary of a sneak attack from the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and his group, so they naturally changed their strategy.
Jiang Qiuyu moved, trying to make a move, but it was too late.
Time seemed to flow backward around her. She desperately tried to reverse Time and Space, but the position of the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and the others remained unshaken, as if Time and Space were an invisible cage, standing firm in the Tide of time.
"Die!"
The Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and the Golden-Eyed Middle-Aged Man both attacked simultaneously, unleashing the power of Half-step Emperor Lord.
They intend to completely obliterate these two Heavenly Prodigy. They have no chance of killing the kid with the Dao Source Immortal Seal, but these two are doomed!
Boom!
Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan stared blankly at the attack before them, their consciousness seemingly Solidification. The speed of the attack exceeded their comprehension, and the overwhelming Aura suppressed them, rendering them unable to move.
A violent tremor resounded, blood gushed forth, and the Void seemed to shatter.
"Muqing!"
Su Zhenyuan's frantic voice burst out.
"Zhixuan!"
Lin Daogong rushed there like a madman, but it was too late.
However, when they arrived halfway there, they were all stunned.
Blood splattered, limbs were severed, and two figures flew out.
It wasn't Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan, but the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and the Golden-Eyed Middle-Aged Man.
Thump! Thump!
Heaven and Earth, heaven and earth trembled simultaneously.
It was as if a huge heart was beating in a deep and powerful rhythm.
All was quiet except for the deep, throbbing sound, each beat stronger than the last.
It's like some ancient, dormant entity that has awakened from the Years.
This shocking turn of events happened in the blink of an eye. The patriarchs of various noble Aristocratic Clan, numerous Immortal Kings, and Li Hao all reacted in shock Anger upon discovering the despicable methods of the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man.
But the resounding heartbeat of the Heaven and Earth made them feel as if they dared not move.
Only one figure stepped out of the Dao Arena, becoming the only living person in this seemingly static world, and rushed towards Su Muqing.
Li Hao approached Su Muqing and saw that she was still in shock, with tears streaming down her face.
This had nothing to do with courage, but rather with the Half-step Emperor Lord aura emanating from the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man at that moment, which caused his body to tremble uncontrollably and tears to flow.
Her fragile appearance was so touching that for a moment Li Hao felt an urge to embrace her.
Knock knock!
The thumping sound grew even stronger, as if it were ringing above Li Hao's head.
Li Hao's expression changed. He looked up and saw a figure who appeared out of nowhere, barefoot, dressed in gray-white clothes, wearing what looked like a tattered long robe, with gray hair that was softly draped over his shoulders and swaying gently in the breeze. He walked over step by step on invisible steps in the Void.
The Heaven and Earth was silent, except for that figure radiating the majesty of Great Emperor, whose ordinariness carried an unparalleled aura of authority.
The patriarchs of all the Aristocratic Clan gaped, their eyes wide with excitement and trembling. The Great Emperor! This was the Great Emperor of the Human Race!
Jiang Qiuyu and Lin Daogong were also stunned, then their eyes narrowed as they recognized the figure from behind—it was... the progenitor emperor of the Su family!
Su Zhenyuan snapped out of his daze, his burly body trembling like chaff. Tears welled up in his eyes; the Progenitor had emerged from his slumber.
"Null."
A single, simple word came from the mouth of that gray-haired figure.
His hair was gray and white, but his face was that of a young man. His face, cold and aloof like a god, had the calmness of Lake. Only his eyes held the vicissitudes of the world, as if he had seen through all All Things and all aspects of life, including life and death.
Ahead of him, the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man and the Golden-Eyed Middle-Aged Man were both filled with shock, their eyes showing terror.
Although they were both Half-step Emperor Lord, the gap between them and a true Great Emperor was still as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
The terrifying pressure of the Great Emperor made them feel suffocated, as if their primordial Primordial Spirit, World Domain, Immortal Body, and Emperor Heart were about to shatter and perish!
As they desperately resisted, suddenly, an even more vast Aura descended from the distant Starry Sky and enveloped them.
Then, a force emanated from that Aura, vibrating outwards and colliding with the unseen killing power of the Heavenly Dao.
In the Void, a fluctuation came, as if some singularity, condensed to its extreme, could absorb and crush all the light and matter in the world.
However, that terrifying fluctuation was diverted by a force and sent to an unknown location, instead of blooming on this Emperor Star.
The Demon didn't care where the battlefield was, but the Su Clan Progenitor did.
If the power from their battle were to dissipate, the entire Emperor Star would shatter.
"Su Jiuzhe, you're not dead yet?"
The voice of the Demon Emperor rang out, and his Aura enveloped and Descent upon the Emperor Star, but no figure was revealed.
The Su Clan Progenitor, Su Jiuzhe, slightly raised his head, his eyes still level, and said, "You've seen the answer, are you satisfied now?"
"It seems you can live another twelve years, but with your crippled body, can you defend the Northern Region?"
The Demon Emperor chuckled and said, "It seems you haven't yet cured the Reincarnation Poison from back then."
"Why don't you give it a try?"
A hint of tenderness appeared in Su Jiuzhe's eyes, as if inviting him to dance.
The Demon Emperor's voice fell silent for a moment, then he laughed after a long while:
"No, I'm busy today. I'll come another time!"
As he spoke, his Aura receded like a tide, enveloping the two Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man, as if he wanted to retreat.
"You think you can just break the rules and walk away? Do you think I, Su Jiuzhe, am dead?"
Su Jiuzhe's voice was calm, but as he spoke, a sharp Sword Intent suddenly shot out, instantly slashing at the opponent's retreating Aura and cutting Aura off!
An ancient, gray-white, unassuming sword was stuck in the Void.
Many patriarchs of the Aristocratic Clan, having lived long enough, immediately recognized the origin of the Emperor Sword. Their eyes narrowed, and they inwardly exclaimed:
"Spring Severing Emperor Sword!"
The True Realm once possessed Nine Emperor Swords, All Under Heaven. However, after the Ancient Demon War ended, these Emperor Sword disappeared one after another, along with the figures of many Great Emperors.
Now, we see the Spring Severing Emperor Sword, one of the Nine Swords, reappear in the world.
What do you want?
The Demon Emperor's voice calmed down, carrying a chill.
"Receive a sword strike from the spring, and you may live or die!"
Su Jiuzhe said coldly.
Upon hearing this, the two Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man couldn't help but look at the Emperor Sword, only to see that there were faint traces of blood wrapped around its blade, as if it were cracked.
They trembled inwardly. In the hands of Great Emperor, Immortal Forbidden Emperor Artifact could unleash the true power of Emperor Weapon, a power beyond their capabilities.
As they cried out in their hearts for the Demon Emperor to save them, the Demon Emperor, after a brief silence, uttered the word "good".
Then, a voice transmission reached their ears:
"The Spring Severing Emperor Sword is damaged. You must defend yourselves with all your might. Whether you survive depends on your Creation."
He did not explain why he did not forcibly take them out.
As Great Emperor, no explanation is needed.
He didn't fight Su Jiuzhe to the death because this was the Emperor Star, the home ground of the Human Race. There was also a great formation on this Xingchen. If Su Jiuzhe used this formation to fight him, he himself would not fare well.
Upon hearing the Demon Emperor's words, both the Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man men turned pale and looked somewhat desperate.
But the Great Emperor had already spoken, and there was no way to reverse it. The two could only hurriedly mobilize their own power.
Bass!
The Spring Severing Emperor Sword suddenly trembled. In Heaven and Earth Void around the sword's edge, as if ink were receding, all the light and the Great Dao Origin dissipated and disappeared, leaving only a dark area centered on the sword.
This dark area contained nothing, as if it were the world before the beginning of Chaos.
The two Purple-Robed Middle-Aged Man instantly unleashed their full power, even burning their Primordial Spirit and World Domain power, while simultaneously taking out the incomplete Emperor Weapon from their bodies.
Bang!
A flash of Sword Light slashed out, shattering the auras, Emperor Weapon, and World Domain of the two, leaving only a split Primordial Spirit.
The Demon Emperor's power swept up the two's fragmented Primordial Spirit, and with a cold snort, another force enveloped the Black Warship, instantly contracting and retreating at the speed of light along the Emperor Path that pierced through the Void.
The Spring Severing Emperor Sword soared into the air, transforming into a streak of grayish-white light, like a grayish-white hair that nestled into Su Jiuzhe's long, grayish-white hair.
The Demon left, and only the patriarchs of various Aristocratic Clan and the people of the Three Great Families remained in the Void.
We pay our respects to the Great Emperor!
"Greetings, Your Great Emperor!!"
Once the patriarchs of the various Aristocratic Clan regained consciousness, they all hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects.
This is the Great Emperor of the Human Race, the embodiment of the Human Race's faith.
Moreover, the progenitor emperors of the three great families fought a great war against the ancient demons 100,000 years ago, protecting the human race and achieving great feats, which were known to all the major families in the Northern Region.
If it weren't for the Great Emperor before us, the Human Race would have been wiped out of the Northern Region as early as that battle Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe!
"Greetings, Progenitor!"
Su Zhenyuan also knelt down in Void in excitement, banging his head against the Void.
The other Su Clan Heavenly Prodigy present also reacted, and in shock and excitement, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
Su Muqing also realized that Li Hao had appeared in front of her at some point, and above her head was none other than the Progenitor of the Su Clan, the Su Clan Great Emperor!
She hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects.
In a short moment, everyone present knelt down, except for Su Jiuzhe, whose tall and slender figure stood in the Void, exuding vicissitudes and unparalleled elegance.
Su Jiuzhe lowered her eyes slightly, looking at the girl at her feet, and then at the tall and upright boy. The other party did not kneel down, but his eyes were full of gratitude.
The adorable little guy... Su Jiuzhe thought to himself, everyone else had been intimidated by his Emperor's Might, but only this little guy was able to move within that Emperor's Might, his Dao Heart... had clearly already surpassed Eternity.
A slight smile curved his lips as he murmured, "Haotian, is that it? What a nice name... a name I miss so much."
He put his hands behind his back and said softly, "After this matter is settled, come see me at the Su Clan Ancestral Land."
After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at Su Zhenyuan kneeling not far away. Without saying anything more, his figure faded and disappeared from the air like a wisp of smoke.
Li Hao was slightly taken aback. Was the other person talking to him?
He snapped out of his daze, bowed towards the spot where the other person had disappeared, and said, "Yes."
As Su Jiuzhe's figure disappeared, the Emperor's Might in the Heaven and Earth also vanished.
Everyone present felt as if a huge boulder had been lifted from their heads, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
They looked around but couldn't see Su Jiuzhe. Their eyes were filled with regret and sorrow. Even if they had to kneel for a long time, it would have been worth it to catch a glimpse of the Great Emperor's demeanor.
Su Zhenyuan raised his head. He had heard Su Jiuzhe's words before he left, and he couldn't help but look at Li Hao with a mixture of excitement and complexity in his eyes.
It seems that even the Progenitor has seen this kid's Heavenly Talent.
If Li Hao could receive guidance from the Progenitor, he would surely be able to advance even further.
One by one, everyone stood up. Lin Daogong returned to Lin Zhixuan's side and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his slightly pale face. It was a close call. Fortunately, the Su Clan Progenitor had Awakening temporarily. Otherwise, the Lin Clan's True Dragon would have perished, which would have been a huge blow to the Lin Clan.
They were even hoping to rely on Lin Zhixuan to become the second Great Emperor of the Lin Clan.
After all, Lin Zhixuan's Heavenly Talent is definitely sufficient. If Lin Zhixuan has difficulty, then it will only be more difficult for the rest of the Lin Clan!
"Haotian, on behalf of the Jiang Family, thank you for stepping forward this time!"
At this moment, Jiang Qiuyu came to Li Hao, followed by the Jiang Family members, including Jiang Huanhuan.
She gazed at Li Hao with a solemn expression, her eyes full of admiration and a smile.
Upon hearing Jiang Qiuyu's words, the other patriarchs of the Aristocratic Clan also realized what was happening and gathered around.
"Haotian, his name is Haotian. The Liu Family must remember this. From now on, whenever you see Haotian, treat him as an elder of your clan!"
"The disciples of the Gao Family all remember that the life of our Gao Family's Heavenly Prodigy was saved by Haotian!"
The various Aristocratic Clan spoke up one after another, and even the Heavenly Prodigy members of those clans who were not prisoners of war stepped forward to express their gratitude.
After all, if it weren't for Li Hao, the Human Race would have been defeated this time. Not only would they not have been able to redeem all the prisoners of war, but the blow to the Frontier would have been enormous. The Demon might have intercepted time here and reflected it on the Border Battlefield, damaging the morale of the Human Race. The indirect casualties to the Human Race would have been incalculable.
Moreover, if Li Hao hadn't managed to stabilize morale during this battle, many people would likely have wanted to flee the Northern Region. Although those were small Lineage, they were the cornerstone of the Northern Region's Human Race.
If the foundation collapses, the rooftops will also crumble.
The crowd's expressions of gratitude seemed to surround and envelop Li Hao.
Su Muqing stood in front of Li Hao, not far apart, only a few steps away, yet it felt as if they were worlds apart.
In the Northern Region, besides Lin Zhixuan, there is actually someone else who can shine so brightly.
Even Lin Zhixuan couldn't manage to get the patriarchs of all the Aristocratic Clan to come forward and express their gratitude.
But Su Muqing suddenly noticed that, standing in the crowd of thousands, the other person's expression remained as calm as ever. His clear and bright eyes, like sunlight reflecting off a lake, gazed at her quietly through the cheers.
His gaze seemed to never leave her from beginning to end.
Whether you are unknown or shining brightly.
Su Muqing froze on the spot, and slowly, a blush rose on her face as she turned her head away.
After a while, she felt that gaze was still there. She turned around and looked back; sure enough, it was still there.
Her eyes darted away, and this time she even turned her body Past.
She suddenly felt a strange mix of emotions—complex, contradictory, and peculiar—but none of the previous aversion or disgust she had felt.
Just then, she turned around and saw a figure walking towards her but stopping not far away.
Lin Zhixuan.
The two men locked eyes. Lin Zhixuan's expression was calm, but his eyes were as dark and stormy as a storm.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Su Muqing immediately knew what her childhood sweetheart was thinking, but she didn't know whether to deny it or something else, and her eyes subconsciously darted away.
But soon, she felt that she was upright and had no reason to feel ashamed, so she looked at Lin Zhixuan again.
Did you hear what your father said earlier?
Lin Zhixuan's gloomy voice entered her mind.
Su Muqing paused, then suddenly recalled some of her father's earlier words. Her expression changed slightly. If Li Hao won, would her father arrange for them to get married?
Her eyes became complicated, and she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
"You..."
Seeing the change in her eyes, Lin Zhixuan felt a surge of rage. His face turned ashen, and he said in a deep voice:
"Do you agree?"
Su Muqing's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the anger in Lin Zhixuan's eyes, she took a deep breath and shook her head, saying, "Father was just trying to encourage him; he might not really..."
What if it's true?
Lin Zhixuan was so angry he wanted to laugh, but he didn't; he simply said coldly.
As Half-step Emperor Lord, how could his words in public not stand?
Su Muqing understood this as well. Her expression changed, but her feelings were extremely conflicted. Lin Zhixuan, who stood before her, was someone who had grown up with her since childhood. If it were before today, she would have made her choice without hesitation or even thinking.
But that boy... those two times he blocked her way, his resolute, death-defying gaze filled her with a sense of pity.
"I'm a little tired, I'm going back to rest now."
Su Muqing shook her head and turned to leave.
Lin Zhixuan's face darkened instantly, and his heart sank as well. He clenched his fists, but before he could vent his anger, he saw the young man who was surrounded by the crowd and praising him suddenly break free from the crowd and chase after Su Muqing's figure.
Lin Zhixuan's expression immediately changed, turning ugly, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Lin Daogong had been keeping a close eye on Lin Zhixuan and Su Muqing. Seeing this scene, he sighed inwardly. Once Su Zhenyuan's words were spoken in public, it would be difficult to reverse the situation unless Su Muqing threatened to kill herself.
He said in a low voice, "Zhixuan, I'll find some time to talk to your Uncle Su about this again, and also find another opportunity for you and Muqing to have a private chat."
Lin Zhixuan wanted to coldly say that it was unnecessary, but the words were on the tip of his tongue, and the feelings of childhood sweethearts that had lasted for hundreds of years made him hold back. If he gave up on his own and left as a loser, he would have no dignity.
"Who is that kid?"
Lin Zhixuan.
At this time, Li Hao's reputation was extremely high, and the name Haotian was being called everywhere. He also knew that it would not be good for him or the Lin Clan to confront the other party head-on or break off relations.
"His name is Haotian. I don't know where he comes from. I just asked Zhenyuan through telepathy, and he said he came from another realm, carrying Betrothal Document left by the Su Clan Progenitor. He has taken a liking to Su Muqing and is currently staying at the Su Clan."
Lin Daogong's eyes flashed, and he said, "A being who can reach Betrothal Document with the Su Clan Progenitor is probably not bad either; he's most likely a Great Emperor!"
Lin Zhixuan clenched his fists so tightly he felt like he was about to crush his knuckles.
The Dao Source Immortal Seal alone suggests that the other party must have Great Emperor as their backer.
Even if they didn't have it, with these qualifications, they should be able to find one.
His biggest regret in his cultivation so far is that he failed to condense the Dao Source Immortal Seal in the True Immortal Realm, falling short of the legend and not Perfection.
But in the Northern Region, he is still undoubtedly the number one. This feeling of regret and Perfection did not leave a deep mark on his heart until today, when he realized how much this incompleteness hurt him!
If he were also Dao Source Immortal Seal, what would he have to fear from that demoness? Even if he burned his Primordial Spirit, he would fight her to the death!
In that case, there would be no room for this guy to show off.
Numerous thoughts intertwined in his mind, causing his expression to change accordingly. The Aura within him was no longer as calm as a lake, but surged like waves.
Lin Daogong noticed this, his expression changed slightly, and he whispered Whispers, "Zhixuan!"
Lin Zhixuan suddenly awoke with a start and looked towards Lin Daogong.
"You must not let your Dao Heart be disturbed!"
Lin Daogong solemnly warned him.
Lin Zhixuan was startled. His expression changed, and finally, he slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again after a long time, his eyes had calmed down, but they were much colder.
"I understand. I will talk to Muqing properly. If she... truly loves me, then I will let go. I will continue my cultivation journey, pursuing the supreme Emperor Dao. When I become the Great Emperor, all All Things will be within my grasp!"
At this point, his eyes sharpened and hardened again.
Upon hearing this, Lin Daogong remained silent and offered no comment.
The Demon were defeated, and this first Sparring Grand Battle between Human Race and Demon ended in a crushing defeat for the Demon.
The World Stone was shattered. Jiang Qiuyu took out the World Stone and transmitted the scene here throughout the Emperor Star, while also explaining the situation.
Upon learning of the Demon' defeat, countless people in the various Immortal City cheered.
When the World Stone suddenly shattered and the reflection disappeared, they thought something terrible had happened.
Furthermore, the Great Emperor's majesty later enveloped the entire Emperor Star, causing many to tremble with fear, as if the sky had collapsed.
Now that Jiang Qiuyu has explained the situation, everyone is finally relieved.
"So it was that Demon who cheated, actually trying to forcibly kill Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan!"
"Hmph, they came here specifically to kill my Human Race's Heavenly Prodigy; such despicable methods are unimaginable."
"But then again, it's all thanks to Haotian that all those Demon Prodigies were killed, leaving only that Heiji!"
"That Heiji is the strongest, and she deserves to be killed. Ten thousand years later, perhaps she will rise among the Demon!"
"What's there to be afraid of? If Haotian can defeat her once, he can defeat her twice more!"
"Exactly! Don't forget, Haotian's Soul Lifespan is only a little over a hundred years, yet he has already reached such an exaggerated level. Perhaps ten thousand years from now, he will be invincible below the Great Emperor!"
In the Thirty-Six Thousand Immortal Cities, there was much discussion and excitement. Many taverns even opened for free for a day, allowing people to drink to their hearts' content.
The Human Race in the Northern Region is far more united than in other parts of the True Realm. When traveling abroad, if one wants to survive, one can only rely on one's own kind.
Having fought against Demon for a hundred thousand years, they have long since become united in their hatred of the enemy.
In contrast to the outside world, the Su Clan lived deep within their courtyard.
Su Muqing flew back and arrived at her courtyard.
Her eyes flickered when her gaze fell on the three characters "Immortal's Abode Courtyard" (Zhexian Academy) above.
At this moment, Li Hao also arrived closely behind.
Su Muqing noticed Li Hao following behind her. She stopped, turned around, and looked at the boy's face. Suddenly, she realized that he was exceptionally handsome, yet he had no arrogant demeanor whatsoever. Perhaps that was why she had previously thought he was somewhat ordinary.
"What are you doing here? In this battle in the Northern Region, you single-handedly held off the Demon. The patriarchs of various Aristocratic Clan must all want to host banquets to befriend you. This is a rare opportunity."
Su Muqing said.
His eyes were calm, his tone was calm, but his fingers were slightly clenched.
Li Hao glanced at her quietly, said nothing, and then, as usual, returned to his Sculpting chair and sat down.
Seeing Li Hao's actions, Su Muqing suddenly realized that for more than ten years, he had been sitting here, waiting for her.
She bit her lip slightly, and after a long pause, said, "With such strength, why didn't you show it sooner?"
Li Hao spoke up, asking, "What will happen if we show it?"
What will happen?
Su Muqing paused for a moment, then fell silent.
Yes, what will happen?
If he were to reveal his abilities, he might certainly be more respected, but what the other party wanted was to marry him... Just because the other party was strong enough, a peerless Heavenly Prodigy, should he agree?
After a long silence, she shook her head slightly, the image of Lin Zhixuan flashing through her mind, but then she remembered walking past Lin Zhixuan and his silent demeanor.
She suddenly felt a surge of irritation, turned around, said nothing more, entered her Main Hall, and slammed the door shut.
The courtyard returned to its usual quiet, unchanged.
The maids, including Nanny Wu, secretly watched from a distance. They had also seen Li Hao's battle Gusu City through the reflection of the World Stone, and they no longer regarded the young man in the courtyard as they had before.
They never imagined that the boy they had been watching for ten years was actually a top Prodigy in the Northern Region.
However, even though the other party followed the young lady back, there still seemed to be a chasm between the two.
As servants, they dared not say much, but their eyes were filled with awe as they couldn't help but scrutinize the young man. In the past ten years, they had never seen him cultivate, but had only waited foolishly for his young mistress in this courtyard.
Such Heavenly Prodigy, to be so devoted to their young lady, even willing to abandon his cultivation—they felt almost moved to tears.
After the palace doors closed, Li Hao withdrew his gaze, silently picked up the wood, and continued preparing to Sculpting.
But suddenly, several figures flew over.
When Nanny Wu and the other maids looked over, they were immediately startled to see that it was the Family Head Su Zhenyuan, and the Family Head of the Jiang Family Jiang Qiuyu, among others.
"Master."
Nanny Wu and the others hurriedly came to pay their respects.
Su Zhenyuan looked around and saw the tightly closed palace doors. He asked, "Is Muqing inside?"
"Um."
Nanny Wu bowed her head in agreement, but her voice was weak and inexplicably trembling.
Su Zhenyuan remained silent and did not speak.
He knew about Su Muqing and Lin Zhixuan's relationship; the two had been childhood sweethearts. His previous Xu Nuo had essentially forced them apart, and he feared that his daughter might harbor resentment towards him.
He sighed inwardly, not giving it much thought, but instead changed his expression, looking at Li Hao gently, and said:
"Haotian, Jiang Family Head has something to say to you."
Li Hao stood up, bowed slightly to the two of them in greeting, and then looked at Jiang Qiuyu.
Jiang Qiuyu's gaze swept around, wondering if this was where the boy in front of her was.
She noticed the Chessboard next to her, and the many small Sculpting figures placed beside it; the figures all resembled the same person.
Her expression changed slightly. A hundred years of Soul Lifespan, a top Heavenly Prodigy, time is incredibly precious to him. But the other party seems to have spent a lot of time on these things. Just these Sculpting figures alone, the exquisite Dao Resonance contained on them, are definitely not something that can be Sculpting by ordinary means.
Even ordinary Immortal Deity can easily Sculpting lifelike things using their Divine Sense, but they only have form and no spirit or artistic conception.
She was a remarkable person; she could tell at a glance that these Sculpting were no ordinary works. Without spending time studying and immersing oneself in them, it would be difficult to accomplish in five or ten years, or even longer.
Jiang Qiuyu withdrew her gaze and said softly, "Haotian, I just saw you use the Tai Xu Ling You Movement Technique to kill those Demons. I wonder where you learned it?"
Li Hao was not surprised to hear this; he had considered that the Jiang Family would pursue the matter when he used that Movement Method.
But in order to slay those Demons and prevent them from having a chance to admit defeat, he had no choice but to expose himself and go all out!
"Learned through observation."
Li Hao told the truth.
"Observe?"
Jiang Qiuyu was taken aback.
Su Zhenyuan, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.
The answer was beyond their expectations.
Jiang Qiuyu guessed that Li Hao might say it was an unexpected gain or a gift from a powerful figure, but she never expected that Li Hao would say it was something he learned from observation.
What's the difference between that and stealing knowledge?
"Observe... I wonder where we're observing?" Jiang Qiuyu couldn't help but ask.
Although she didn't intend to pursue the matter, she couldn't help but ask again after Li Hao said that, since it was a closely guarded secret of the Jiang Family.
"The first person to go on stage."
Li Hao said, "He used it before, so I learned a little bit."
The courtyard fell silent.
Su Zhenyuan and Jiang Qiuyu both stared wide-eyed at Li Hao, wondering if they had misheard.
So, Jiang Xuming stated that the "observation" Li Hao mentioned was actually observing him during battle?
"You... you learned it just from watching him use it in battle, just for a short while?"
Jiang Qiuyu snapped out of her daze and couldn't help but ask.
Li Hao nodded slightly.
He Body Movement Dao the Eleventh Dan of body movement technique, allowing him to directly absorb the opponent's movements when they are used.
After being recorded, one's understanding of the Body Movement Dao is infused into it, naturally reaching the Eleventh Dan stage of the Body Movement Dao.
Jiang Qiuyu: "..."
Su Zhenyuan: "..."
Although they knew Li Hao was exceptionally Prodigy, at this moment, they still felt that his abilities had been somewhat shattered.
This isn't just Prodigy, it's a monster!
Although they had seen geniuses who could master Sword Dao or other Immortal Arts with ease, that was limited to ordinary immortal Immortal Arts and Cultivation Method.
As for Supreme Movement Technique like Tai Xu Ling You, even Heavenly Prodigy have to rack their brains to study them, let alone master them in one go.
"You..."
Jiang Qiuyu opened her mouth slightly, but remained silent.
They learned it by observing you in battle; how can that be considered stealing?
Moreover, judging from Li Hao's appearance, he wasn't lying.
She gave a wry smile. Could it be that the Jiang Family's Supreme Movement Technique was so easy to learn?
"It seems you have exceptional aptitude for Movement Method techniques. You've currently mastered the Agile Realm. I can teach you the later parts of this Cultivation Method."
Jiang Qiuyu took a deep breath and spoke to Li Hao with a solemn expression.
Li Hao was slightly taken aback. He had assumed the other party was coming to investigate, and he was prepared for it. He hadn't expected them to come and deliver the follow-up Cultivation Method.
Seeing the other person's expression, he immediately understood that this wasn't a lie, but rather the True Heart.
Li Hao's expression immediately turned solemn, and he was filled with respect on the spot.
The fact that the other party was willing to give away the clan's most secret and closely guarded techniques showed that their magnanimity was far greater than he had imagined.
Is this the reason why the Northern Region Human Race has survived to this day?
"Thank you, Jiang Family Head."
Li Hao said earnestly.
Seeing Li Hao's solemn expression, Jiang Qiuyu smiled, feeling much closer to the young man. She said Wenrou:
"From now on, if you need anything, you can come to the Jiang Family to find me. As for cultivation, if you lack any resources, as long as the Jiang Family can provide them, we are willing to give them to you."
Li Hao remained silent, waiting for her to continue with her request.
But the other person had already finished speaking.
No requests were made.
A pure gift, a genuine act of kindness... Li Hao couldn't help but be moved.
Looking into those Wenrou, bright eyes, he suddenly felt that his life-risking battle had been worthwhile!
This Northern Region is worth it!
Compared to the sorrowful place in the Southern Region, he felt a long-lost warmth in his heart.
"Thank you," Li Hao said softly, responding with just two words, but only he knew how earnest he was.
Jiang Qiuyu smiled, then raised her hand, her slender, snow-white fingertips gently touching Li Hao's forehead, bringing a cool sensation.
"Hold your breath and concentrate, I will pass this on to you."
Jiang Qiuyu said, and then, in front of Su Zhenyuan, she taught Li Hao the entire Tai Xu Ling You Cultivation Method.
All of the Jiang Family's closely guarded secrets flew into Li Hao's mind.
Li Hao silently absorbed the information and memorized it all.
"Come to the Jiang Family anytime if needed."
After Jiang Qiuyu finished teaching, she didn't linger any longer. There were still many things for her to handle. She left a single sentence and then vanished like a cloud.
When Li Hao came to his senses, he saw that only Su Zhenyuan was left in front of him.
The subsequent Tai Xu Ling You Movement Technique in his mind was something he couldn't yet master with his current Body Movement Dao.
Thinking of this, Li Hao felt a sense of urgency again, realizing he was severely lacking in the Twelfth Grade Mind Realm.
If he were to acquire two more stages of the Twelfth Grade Mind Realm, both his Imperial Dao and Body Movement Dao would reach the Twelfth Stage, making him truly invincible in the Immortal Lord Realm.
Even if I were to encounter Prodigy like Heiji again, I wouldn't need to burn my Primordial Spirit to fight her; I could easily toy with her in the palm of my hand.
