Carving True Meaning, Shi Miao Awakens (Two-in-One)

Countless peach blossoms have fallen, and countless seasons have passed since the pen was first used to write.

A profound sense of Time Dao permeated the Mountain Summit and Li Hao's surroundings, enveloping him like a giant cocoon, along with the Time Divine Wood floating before him.

That section of Divine Wood, which is no longer recognizable as wood, has transformed into a lifelike, gray-haired youth holding a wine jug.

The Sculpture sits casually in the Void, exuding Emperor's Might. The space around it ripples slightly. If you look closely, you will find that the Great Dao Origin is gathered, and the Void is layered like folds, extending out from around it in a very subtle way.

In front of this Sculpture is the True Form Su Jiuzhe, who sits casually on the grass, as quiet as a stone sculpture for years, gazing silently at the boy he has painstakingly Sculpting.

Three years is but a blink of an eye for him; a few thoughts drift by and several seasons have passed.

For the past three years, they have not communicated. The young man devoted himself wholeheartedly, purely, attentively, and obliviously to Sculpting him, while he simply observed quietly, feeling the earth-shattering changes in the young man.

Indeed, it was a complete upheaval. In just three short years of Sculpting, this young man had already made an invisible breakthrough to the Sixth Layer level of the Time Origin.

In addition, the Space Origin realm also broke through from the Fifth Layer Origin to the Sixth Layer.

The Golden Dao Source also advanced successively, from the Fourth Layer to the peak of the Fifth Layer.

The same applies to the Wood Dao Origin.

There is also the Form Dao, which progresses from the Origin Sixth Level Realm to the peak of the Sixth Layer.

I'm not far from breaking through to the seventh level.

It was only three years, a mere three years.

Even before cultivation, merely through Sculpting, it caused a leap in the Five Dao Source realms of its Nine Orders.

All of this happened right under his nose; he witnessed it firsthand, without any other means.

Su Jiuzhe finally understood why the other party could reach such an incredible level in just a hundred years of Soul Lifespan. This was definitely Prodigy that was unique throughout the ages!

Could it be that he is a gift from Heavenly Dao, capable of Termination all this war? Su Jiuzhe's eyes flickered, his thoughts soaring, traversing ten thousand years of history.

As he was lost in thought, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared before his eyes.

The fluctuation drew his Primordial Spirit in, as if something was shining upon it, refracting Dao Light.

The power capable of shaking his Primordial Spirit must be at least at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Su Jiuzhe's eyes flickered slightly, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the Sculpture in front of him radiating a dazzling light, as if it were his own reflection, rather than a Sculpting decoration.

"Um?"

Su Jiuzhe's eyes narrowed slightly. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that the Sculpture was extraordinary.

This... has already become a substitute.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an external avatar. The Terminal Realm "Great Thousand Worlds" that he Mastery was actually Sculpting Li Hao, and fluctuations appeared around the Sculpture.

Although incomplete, it is already an incredibly incredible thing.

As Su Jiuzhe intently observed, the boy before him seemed to loosen from his slumber, gradually regaining consciousness from his absorbed Sculpting.

Li Hao gazed at the Sculpture before him, his eyes gradually clearing, a light shining in them. He revealed excitement, surprise, and a deep love for his work.

He even automatically ignored the pop-up notifications on the Panel.

Only by truly devoting oneself to the Tao can one attain it!

"This... is true Sculpting."

Looking at the imperial sculpture before him, Li Hao finally understood the Carving True Meaning. All his previous Sculpting seemed like mere decorations in comparison to this Sculpting.

The most beautiful Sculpting are inevitably sculpted by time.

As if in the beginning of Chaos, time Sculpting the True Realm and Sculpting living beings.

All Things can be Sculpting... including the Great Dao Origin.

The Sculpting technique is so exquisite that it transcends the divine and reaches the Origin realm.

At the same time, Li Hao realized that Sculpting Twelfth Stage was only the beginning of entering the path of Path of Carving.

Traditional Sculpting can only be described as "shaping".

The Sculpting of today are truly natural, products of time.

He wielded his Immortal Power as a pen-sword, becoming the driving force behind time.

"When rain falls into the mud, it Sculpting a pit."

"My old age and white hair are merely a slice etched by the Years..."

"Even white hair and a youthful face can be sculpted, and so too can my own cultivation!"

Li Hao's mind and spirit were immersed in the Sculpting, as if he had merged into the Heaven and Earth, with an open and humble heart that seemed to be able to embrace All Things.

Numerous insights into Sculpting Heart Entry.

[Path of Carving: Twelfth Stage]

[Understanding the State of Mind: Carving True Meaning]

Li Hao Mastery the 12th dan in both Painting Dao and Chess Dao Twelfth Stage, gaining extraordinary special abilities in each. These are unique to the Twelfth Stage, much like the hidden power within the Bloodline of those great Lineage.

Sculpting Twelfth Stage also brought Li Hao a sense of power. This was a method condensed from his Sculpting, the Years Blade!

Sculpting and Painting Dao share some similarities, but they also have differences.

The Painting Dao that Li Hao has mastered is the Years Painting Realm, which allows him to maximize the power of the Time Origin within his own domain.

The Years Blade is also closely related to time, but it is even sharper than the Years Painting Realm.

He can Sculpting cultivation, Sculpting Li Hao himself, and also Sculpting the reduction of enemies!

"At the cost of my Soul Lifespan, I can use the Years Blade to Sculpting myself to a higher level of cultivation in a short period of time!"

The Great Dao Origin can Sculpting, and so can Sculpting realms. This power is extremely terrifying. Li Hao had never seen any of those Demon Prodigies wield it when he fought them before.

If he were to encounter that Heiji again, Li Hao felt that he would not need to burn his Primordial Spirit to Sculpting himself with the Years Blade, but could temporarily raise his cultivation to the same level as her to make up for the power difference caused by burning his Primordial Spirit, thus allowing him to fight Unharmed!

If she were to burn her Primordial Spirit again, Heiji could kill her, leaving her no chance to escape!

Li Hao increasingly felt that the power brought by these skills, whether it be Chess Dao or Sculpting, as they were continuously improved, was by no means inferior to the Nine Sequences Great Dao!

After all, comprehending a single skill can lead to breakthroughs in several of the Nine Sequences Great Dao Origin realms. Usually, the Nine Orders split and evolve into All Things, but these skills can actually split and comprehend the Nine Orders, which shows how miraculous and terrifying they are.

Returning to the present moment, Li Hao looked at Su Jiuzhe. The other woman's movements seemed unchanged, and gratitude welled up in Li Hao's eyes. He stood up and said:

"Thank you for your help, senior."

"I'm just sitting here."

Su Jiuzhe smiled calmly.

He scrutinized Li Hao and noticed that the young man's Aura had become more restrained, showing a significant change. However, this change was not reflected in his cultivation level; perhaps it could only be seen during a battle.

"To comprehend the Great Dao Origin with such a minor skill as Sculpting, you are truly a rare figure throughout history."

Su Jiuzhe said.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao was surprised and asked, "Are there others who have also attained enlightenment through this method?"

"Of course."

Su Jiuzhe said, "Since you possess the Dao Source Immortal Seal, you should know that Myriad Daos lead to oneness. Regardless of whether it's the Great Dao Path or the Lesser Path, mastering them to their peak leads to a single pinnacle: the Emperor Path!"

"Throughout history, countless people Entering the Dao through various unorthodox techniques, but those who persist in the later stages gradually become fewer and fewer. After all, due to the pressure of competition in cultivation, these unorthodox Entering the Dao ultimately lead to slow cultivation and are difficult to compete with the Great Dao."

"Moreover, not everyone has your level of understanding and perseverance, and can delve into this subject to such a degree."

Li Hao nodded slightly. He understood all too well how much pressure those powerful Lineage with deep resources had to endure to cultivate these "Heretical Ways" methods.

"Do you know Years outside?" Su Jiuzhe asked.

"Outside?"

Li Hao was surprised. He had been so engrossed in Sculpting that he hadn't noticed the passage of time, and couldn't help but ask, "Has a long Past?"

"Not long, only three years."

Su Jiuzhe said, "You Sculpting with time, so the Time and Space you inhabit is ten years, and your Soul Lifespan is also equivalent to increasing by ten years, but only three years have passed outside."

"I 'Sculpting for ten years?"

Li Hao was astonished. Ten years? How many decades had he actually lived through?

This Sculpting took an unexpectedly long time.

Three years away from home, that's a long Past.

Li Hao hadn't yet gotten used to Seclusion that often lasted hundreds or even thousands of years, and couldn't help but smile wryly. However, when he saw the work in front of him, he felt it was worthwhile, or rather, more than worth it.

Even if you give him another ten years, he might not be able to Sculpting out again; it might take even longer.

After all, the space surrounding this Sculpture Sculpting with layers of folds and cracks, carved over time; it was a labor of love, requiring tireless dedication.

Consider this a small gift from you.

Su Jiuzhe raised his hand and accepted the small Su Jiuzhe Sculpting Li Hao.

This object is not merely an ornament; it is also a reflection of itself, capable of wielding immense power and even displaying some of Su Jiuzhe's techniques.

Li Hao knew this item was precious, even comparable to a top-tier Immortal Weapon, but he was still able to Sculpting it, and if it weren't for Su Jiuzhe's help, he wouldn't have been able to Sculpting to break through to the next realm.

"I'm glad you like it, senior. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'd like to have Sculpting on your Emperor Weapon."

Li Hao said with a smile.

"You're not at a disadvantage at all." Su Jiuzhe smiled faintly, clenched his fist, and the strange phenomena of the Great Dao Origin around the Sculpture immediately gathered together, as if sealed, turning it into an ordinary Wood Carving, but one that was extremely spiritual.

He casually tucked it into his pocket and waved, saying, "Go."

Li Hao stood up, bowed deeply, and then carried the basket of pastries down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, when Fourth Uncle saw Li Hao finally emerge, he immediately noticed that Li Hao's Aura had changed, and his Soul Lifespan had increased.

Although he didn't have Soul Mirror, with his level of cultivation, Fourth Uncle could roughly sense the changes in Li Hao's Soul Lifespan without needing Soul Mirror.

"Did the Progenitor give you guidance?"

Fourth Uncle asked with a smile.

Li Hao nodded, "I guess so."

He then waved goodbye to his Fourth Uncle and hurriedly left the Ancestral Land to head to the Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know if she Awakening yet.

Li Hao felt a pang of guilt; he had promised to stay by her side, but he had failed to do so.

The Su Clan mansion, within the Immortal's Abode Courtyard.

Years Past, and after the prosperity faded, the Su Clan settled down. Su Muqing also sat in the cultivation room to Seclusion and comprehend.

The courtyard was empty; the figure, who seemed to have become part of the scenery there, had gone to the Ancestral Land and had not returned for a long time.

Su Muqing sent Nanny Wu to inquire, only to learn that Li Hao was still in the Ancestral Land, seemingly receiving guidance from the Progenitor and cultivating there.

Upon hearing this news, Su Muqing felt a strange sense of relief, but also a complex mix of emotions.

As one of the Su Clan's top Heavenly Prodigy, she had only seen the face of the Progenitor when Progenitor awoke this time. She hadn't even spoken to him, received Progenitor summons, let alone received any guidance.

On the contrary, Li Hao was deeply favored by the Progenitor.

She wasn't jealous of Li Hao, but she was disappointed and puzzled as to why the Progenitor hadn't Seeing Self.

During the year that Li Hao went to his Ancestral Land, the Lin Clan seemed to have recovered as well. A message was sent to the Su Clan and was respectfully handed to her.

Upon seeing the message, she realized that she had deactivated the jade pendant, preventing the other party from Communication her directly through it, and thus forcing them to Communication through the Su Clan.

A sense of guilt welled up in her heart as memories of their hundreds of years together flashed before her eyes. He had sheltered her from the wind and rain since childhood, helping her like Older Brother. Countless people had high hopes for them, saying they were a match made in heaven.

She herself thinks so too.

After all, apart from him, other young men in the world would seem nothing special.

In terms of character, appearance, cultivation, Heavenly Talent, none Dharma Form.

Even those highly sought-after Heavenly Prodigy from great clans, surrounded by countless admirers, would be utterly defeated in front of him; they were simply not on the same level.

However, this Heavenly Prodigy and domineering attitude that stood out from the crowd was broken.

However, even if someone surpasses her in talent, she will not distance herself from them. After all, her father often said that there are heavens beyond heavens. She has also heard of many other legends of Great Emperor, including those of the Original True World. She has heard that among the Heavenly Prodigy there, there are those of her and Lin Zhixuan's level, and even those stronger than them!

Such as those prodigies who have mastered the Dao Source Immortal Seal Heavenly Prodigy.

Therefore, she never regarded her talent as the best in the True Realm, so that even if she lost, her Dao Heart would not be damaged.

Her Dao Heart was strong enough to withstand her first defeat.

But... she could never forget the scene of herself stepping past them in that desperate situation, ready to fight to the death.

She could understand them, but understanding and accepting are two different things.

Especially after a comparison is made.

Su Muqing gripped the letter in her hand, ultimately deciding to meet with the person.

Outside the Su Clan, in a lakeside pavilion.

A tall figure stood there, waiting quietly.

Su Muqing's figure appeared instantly. Upon seeing the figure in the lake, her eyes were filled with complex emotions. She then slowly descended into the pavilion.

Are you blaming me?

Upon meeting, Lin Zhixuan turned around and looked at the girl in front of him, his eyes filled with a mixture of confusion and anger.

Su Muqing knew he was criticizing her for closing the jade pendant, so she whispered, "I've been too busy lately; I'm in Seclusion."

Lin Zhixuan naturally wouldn't believe such a lie; on the contrary, he found it somewhat laughable. However, he neither laughed nor got angry, but quietly said:

"We both heard what Uncle Su said at the time. What was your decision?"

Su Muqing's heart trembled slightly, and she fell silent. After a long while, she finally said:

"I have no idea."

"Have no idea?"

For the first time, Anger appeared on Lin Zhixuan's calm face. His fists clenched slightly as he said, "I thought you would refuse decisively!"

Su Muqing stared at the furious young man before her, speechless for a moment. She truly didn't know, and even now, she didn't know how to face him.

"The Dao Source Immortal Seal is indeed True Dragon among men, but its Chaos Law is no less!"

Lin Zhixuan looked deeply at Su Muqing and said, "After hundreds of years together, you should know my feelings."

Su Muqing remained silent; she naturally understood.

"In ten years, I will go to the Original True World; the Lineage has already made arrangements."

Lin Zhixuan gazed at her intently and said in a deep voice, "Your Su Clan should also have such arrangements. What I mean is, if you choose me, then we should get married as soon as possible and have Bloodline before going to the Original True World, to be left for the Lineage to take care of. You know, the competition in the Original True World is even more intense. At that time, you will be fully focused on cultivation and there will be no time to talk about these things!"

Su Muqing's expression changed slightly. Once upon a time, all of this was a natural and logical outcome.

But now... a rare hint of hesitation appeared in her heart.

Lin Zhixuan seemed to see through her thoughts, gave her a deep look, then turned away and said:

"Think about it again in ten years."

Having said that, his figure tore through the Void, soared away, and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Su Muqing remained in the lake, gazing at the empty pavilion. Suddenly, she felt a void in her heart as well. Her eyes, like the ripples on the lake, shimmered and sparkled.

After returning from the gathering at the lakeside pavilion, Su Muqing Seclusion herself in the palace, refusing to see anyone.

Time passed.

Outside the courtyard, Li Hao's figure returned from his Ancestral Land.

Seeing the courtyard unchanged for three years, Li Hao's gaze immediately fell on the tightly closed palace gate. Seeing that it was still closed, he felt somewhat disappointed, it seemed that there was still no sign of Awakening.

He carried the basket back to the Sculpting chair, saw that the Go Board was covered in dust, and casually waved his hand to shake it off.

When Nanny Wu saw Li Hao return, her face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly came to greet him.

"Young Master, you're back."

Has she gone out?

Li Hao asked.

Nanny Wu immediately realized that Li Hao was referring to Su Muqing, and said, "In recent years, Miss has rarely gone out and has kept herself locked in her palace."

Li Hao responded with an "oh," indicating that the other party hadn't cared at all about his three-year absence.

He shook his head slightly, not thinking much of it.

He dismissed Nanny Wu and, as usual, continued playing Chess and Sculpting.

However, now, on the Twelfth Stage Path of Carving, the Ying Xiaoxiao he Sculpting seems to contain a soul.

Li Hao Sculpting one and placed it beside him as a companion.

Time flies.

During the three years that Li Hao went to his Ancestral Land, Su Wanqing and Su Wanxue both came to the Immortal's Abode Courtyard to look for Li Hao. After learning where Li Hao was, they were happy for Li Hao and did not bother him again.

However, they would still send someone over from time to time to check if Li Hao had returned.

Now that Li Hao has returned, less than half a month later, the two of them came to the Immortal's Abode Courtyard to visit Li Hao.

"Haotian, I heard you went to cultivate with the Progenitor. It's been three years since I last saw you. Your strength must have improved a lot, right?"

Su Wanxue's eyes scanned Li Hao, her prejudice against the young man long gone. She pondered how much Li Hao's strength had changed.

"Good."

Li Hao replied casually.

Su Wanqing's gaze, however, fell upon the Sculpting beside her. To avoid being too conspicuous, Li Hao had concealed the Great Dao Origin on the Sculpture and sealed its power, making it appear to possess only divine charm. Nevertheless, the Twelfth Stage Sculpting technique made it even more divine than before.

Your Sculpting skills seem to have improved.

Su Wanqing said in a low voice, but there was a hint of bitterness in her voice.

Did you improve because you repeatedly Sculpting your older sister?

Even though you can't see anyone, you're still so focused on Sculpting. Is it because the other person is already deeply imprinted in your heart?

"Um."

Li Hao didn't think much of it; instead, he was surprised that Su Wanqing could see that he had made a breakthrough in his Path of Carving.

"Haotian, are you going to the Original True World? With your Heavenly Talent, you'll definitely improve much faster if you cultivate there."

Su Wanxue asked again, her eyes full of curiosity.

"The Original True World?"

Li Hao subconsciously looked up at Su Muqing in the hall, then shook his head slightly, "I won't go for now."

"Not going?"

Su Wanxue noticed Li Hao's gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Is it because of Muqing? She'll be going too."

Li Hao said, "If she goes, then I'll go too."

Su Wanxue was speechless, then immediately understood: wherever Su Muqing was, this young man would be there too, even with the allure of the Original True World.

Curious, she asked, "Where did you meet Muqing, and why do you have such deep feelings for her?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing also looked up at Li Hao, concealing her sour gaze, worried that Li Hao would notice and distance himself from her.

This question caught Li Hao off guard, and his thoughts immediately returned to the Southern Region, and then to that small teahouse in the Mortal World.

He fell silent, lost in thought, and did not speak.

Seeing that Li Hao did not answer for a long time, Su Wanxue had no choice but to give up and said, "If you want to go to the Original True World, our Su Clan can find a way. Your father's affection for you will surely help you obtain the qualification."

Li Hao snapped out of his reverie, shook his head slightly, and said, "No need to trouble yourself, I have one."

"You have?"

Su Wanxue and Su Wanqing were both stunned. Then they thought of Li Hao's Heavenly Talent. With such top-notch aptitude, it was not surprising that he had a path to enter the Original True World.

The two women looked at each other in disbelief. Su Wanxue's eyes showed incomprehension, while Su Wanqing bit her lip. Since there was a way to enter the Original True World, Li Hao's continued presence here was a complete waste of time. This also demonstrated that Li Hao's feelings for Su Muqing were beyond their comprehension.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the two left.

Li Hao continued with his own activities, cooking and eating the Ancient Demon Corpse to heal his Golden Bone, while also continuing to Sculpting and Chess.

Although he has reached the Twelfth Stage in both skills, he still needs to accumulate more experience. If he can break through to the Thirteenth Dan soon, he will be able to break through and become King-Sealing.

However, at present, this process is obviously quite lengthy, since experience alone requires accumulation day after day.

Inside the hall.

After returning from the lakeside pavilion, Su Muqing kept an eye on Li Hao's movements to see if he would return. Seeing that Li Hao had not returned for a long time, she became completely absorbed in her cultivation.

The Sparring Demon Prodigies here was a huge blow to her. Whether it was the Chi Xu of the Spirit Blood Race or Meng Qing later, especially the Heiji with the Dao Source Immortal Seal, even Lin Zhixuan was no match for them. For the first time in her life, she saw even stronger Heavenly Prodigy Prodigy besides her Brother Zhixuan.

This pressure led her to immerse herself in spiritual practice, becoming somewhat oblivious to her surroundings.

She was prepared to fight to the death, unleashing the forbidden power hidden within her.

As her cultivation level increased, she could feel that power more and more; it wasn't an illusion, but something that truly existed.

However, she also had a hunch that if she were to truly unleash that power, she would face immense danger.

However, during this Seclusion, she couldn't help but wonder, if she could unleash and Mastery it, wouldn't that allow her to take a giant leap forward?!

She planned to unravel that power bit by bit, slowly guiding it out, refining it, and Mastery!

As her thoughts reached out and continued to sink, communicating with that hidden power, she slowly felt an indescribable and terrifying Aura, an Aura like a vast and mighty river flowing into her body from a distant place.

Moreover, this long river is the most mysterious River of Time in the True Realm.

It is but a ripple in the River of Time, yet it is enough to drown countless Heavenly Prodigy Prodigy.

And that mysterious river seemed to extend into his body, bringing with it terrifying power.

The more she touched it, the more shocked and amazed Su Muqing became. If she could master all of this power, she felt that she could easily become invincible in the Immortal Lord Realm!

Time... Su Muqing has had an extraordinary perception and understanding of time since childhood; otherwise, she would not have been able to reach the Time Origin Seventh Level.

But the rich Aura of time within her was even deeper and more profound than she had ever sensed!

As she continued to touch it, a distant calling seemed to come from the depths of that power.

The sound transcended the River of Time and Space, extremely distant and indistinct.

She held her breath and enveloped her consciousness with the Time Origin throughout her body, trying to approach that power and sound. Slowly, she seemed to be able to hear it a little.

"Hao... Tian..."

When she heard that indistinct voice, Su Muqing froze, suddenly feeling a sense of horror, like Nightmare.

Was it my imagination? Or was my mind just a jumble of thoughts? Why was I calling out to him from the depths of my heart?

They say you only get what you desire after longing for it, but how could I possibly have feelings for him...?

The call vanished as soon as she heard it, as if it were truly an illusion.

Su Muqing's feelings were complicated, but she quickly dismissed them. The reason she and Lin Zhixuan were able to become top Heavenly Prodigy was that, apart from their Heavenly Talent, they both prioritized cultivation and put aside all other romantic feelings.

She continued to approach that power and soon sensed a crystal-clear ball of light enveloped in Seven-Colored Iridescence.

The ball of light resembled a huge fruit, crystal clear and beautiful, its surface flowing with a magnificent Time Power, dazzlingly beautiful.

But amidst that dazzling spectacle, Su Muqing noticed a blurry human figure within the ball of light, its form graceful, curled up in the amniotic fluid as if in the womb...

She was utterly shocked. How could the power within her be in such a state?

She wanted to get closer, but a force blocked her way.

Su Muqing realized that it was time; that power, though within her body, was not within her body, or rather, it resided in another part of time within her body.

To get closer to it, to Mastery, you must... bring it into the present moment.

Su Muqing began to exert her power, condensing her understanding of the Origin of Time Seventh-Level Realm, transforming it into an incomparably sharp Blade of Time, which she slashed out fiercely, severing the dark barrier!

Suddenly, the Time Power on the surface of that ball of light Solidification.

Then, it suddenly pressed against her, and the glowing Time Fruit expanded continuously in her perception until it was right in front of her.

Suddenly, she realized that the figure curled up in the fruit was not an illusion, but real, and the face of that sleeping figure... was exactly the same as hers!

As she stared in awe, the figure slowly opened its eyes from the fruit and looked at her.

Their gazes met, as if Time and Space were spinning, and the cause and effect of past and present lives were instantly intertwined.

At that moment, all of Su Muqing's memories, which served as the vessel, flooded into the fruit.

A crack appeared on the surface of the fruit, and a vast and powerful Aura emerged and seeped out.

In the Courtyard, Nanny Wu brewed a pot of tea for Li Hao, who drank the tea while quietly making his moves.

Suddenly, a long-lost, familiar Aura emerged, as if breaking free from its shell.

From the Palace Hall before us.

Li Hao, who was engrossed in Chess, was suddenly pulled back to his senses. As if struck by lightning, he abruptly looked up, his body jerking to his feet, his eyes wide as he stared at the tightly closed Palace Hall.

At the same time, in the Su Clan Ancestral Land.

On a hill covered in peach blossoms, Su Jiuzhe was drinking wine. His wine jug Pause slightly, and his eyes glanced over as if traversing countless petals and distances to see the scene deep within the palace.

"Has Awakening...?"
