The Seventh Personal Disciple, Chaos Law
"Your guiding location is at the Extreme Dao Mountain of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor. I will come to find you then."
Shi Miao turned to Li Hao and said.
Upon seeing the two cracks, Li Hao immediately knew that they were being teleported to different places.
"Do you want me to pick you up?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask.
Shi Miao smiled and said, "You don't know the way, but I know the area very well. Just wait for me."
"Good."
Li Hao thought so too. They exchanged a glance and then stepped out together, entering the rift in the sky.
"Are we going back to Extreme Dao Mountain?"
As Li Hao stepped into the crack, before he could even properly experience it, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Li Hao knew that the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul Awakening. It had only been a short time since Li Hao arrived in the Northern Region, and it had fallen into a deep sleep. Now it had finally woken up.
"Um."
Li Hao responded in his heart.
The cracks before him twisted and turned, light surged, and countless Great Dao around him alternated like waves before suddenly disappearing, as if squeezing and ejecting Li Hao.
When Li Hao could see the scene before him clearly, he witnessed an extremely spectacular and awe-inspiring sight.
Ten golden suns burned brightly in the sky, their light intense and their colors dazzling.
A series of meteorite bands, resembling fragments of Xingchen, refract different lights in the Void, presenting a magnificent spectacle.
Before me stood a vast and magnificent fairy mountain, towering majestically amidst the Cloudmist.
Beneath this immortal mountain was a colossal Black Giant Turtle. If Li Hao hadn't condensed True God Blood and possessed extremely strong penetrating power of his Primordial Spirit, he wouldn't have been able to discern any part of the tortoise's body in this Original True World. To the naked eye, it would have appeared as a massive black boulder.
As Li Hao was stunned by the scene before him, a shell of an emperor flew out from his chest; it was the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul.
Its entire body radiated light, and the Black Giant Turtle seemed to sense this, slightly shifting its body, causing the earth to rumble.
Li Hao immediately felt a terrifying pressure sweeping over him, containing the Emperor's Might.
Let's go.
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul chuckled, "I've already greeted this little guy, and it remembers you. From now on, you can simply fly up the mountain."
Li Hao felt the sweeping aura of Emperor's Might and was shocked. This was actually emanating from that giant tortoise?
But there was no malice in that aura. Li Hao asked, "Is this giant tortoise senior Quasi-Emperor Realm?"
Quasi-Emperor Realm nestled against a mountain—is this the cultivation ground of the Dao Source Immortal Emperor?
Li Hao was deeply shocked.
"Um."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said, "Unfortunately, it followed the path I once walked. The Quasi-Emperor Realm is its limit; there is no possibility of further improvement."
Li Hao knew that the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul had once been Immortal Emperor Realm, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled, asking, "Why? If it follows the path of its predecessor, shouldn't it also become an Emperor?"
"Times have changed. My Emperor Path is no longer so easy to forge, and its comprehension is lacking."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul shook its head, releasing a surge of power, and carried Li Hao toward the immortal mountain atop the black giant.
Its voice was not concealed and reached the area below. The Black Giant Turtle let out a whimper, seemingly in dissatisfaction. Its voice was clear and loud, like that of a deep-sea whale, echoing between Heaven and Earth.
Upon hearing the other's voice, the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul couldn't help but laugh, his voice filled with doting affection:
"Little guy, you're still not Qi Ingestion? Now I've brought back a Heavenly Prodigy, Prodigy among geniuses. If you're not convinced, let's have a contest and see who becomes an emperor first, shall we?"
Li Hao was stunned when he heard this.
Is this referring to oneself?
The next moment, a terrifying gaze fell upon him.
Although there was no malice intended, the gaze did not conceal its Aura, making Li Hao feel a chill run down his spine.
It should be noted that Su Zhenyuan and Lin Daogong, among others, had been extremely reserved in front of him, concealing their Aura. Li Hao even felt that what appeared before him might not be their True Form, but rather avatars. Therefore, unless they deliberately displayed their power, they were all quite approachable.
However, the Black Giant Turtle did not conceal its Aura in the slightest. Its mere pressure made Li Hao feel suffocated, as if his chest was trapped in the deep sea, unable to breathe.
Another long, deep whale-like cry rang out, causing Li Hao's Qi and Blood to surge.
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul laughed, "Alright, then just wait and see. He only has a hundred years of Soul Lifespan. Don't let him become an emperor while you're still stuck here on this mountain."
Li Hao: "..."
Brother, why don't you just stay asleep?
Li Hao was covered in cold sweat.
Soon, the snow-white Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul led Li Hao through the barrier outside the Immortal Mountain and into the Immortal Mountain.
In the fairy mountain, fairy trees are everywhere, and Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs grow, emitting fragrance. In the center, a magnificent and ancient Dao Platform extends straight to the Mountain Summit.
On the mountainside on both sides of the ancient road are numerous Daoist Dao Arena, where many Dao Arena sit to meditate and cultivate. Above their heads, there are many Mystery Immortal Arts and strange phenomena transformed from the Great Dao Origin, like projections, constantly being practiced, as they deduce immortal Immortal Arts and comprehend the Dao Realm.
A dense Chaos Aura and a powerful Immortal Power swept over him from all sides. Li Hao felt his pores open up, and without him having to cultivate, the Immortal Power seeped into his pores and actively merged into his body.
Previously, in the Su Clan's Immortal's Abode Courtyard, Li Hao felt that the Immortal Power there was already quite abundant, but compared to that, it was several times more concentrated, and compared to the cultivation grounds of those small Lineage, it was hundreds of times more concentrated.
No wonder top Heavenly Prodigy can be easily incubated here, and countless Heavenly Prodigy are eager to come here. Even the Top 100 Great Clans of the True Realm want to get a spot in the Original True World.
Let's go.
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul said, "Master is already waiting for you at the Mountain Summit."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor? The peerless figure who had saved him from the brink of death immediately flashed into Li Hao's mind. He felt a surge of excitement and clenched his fists.
Without him, I wouldn't have had these twenty-odd years of life in the Northern Region.
There was no chance for Shi Miao to Awakening.
Following the steps, the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul led Li Hao up the mountain. Meanwhile, in the surrounding Dao Arena, many disciples, awakened from the Whispers of the Black Giant Turtle "Ancestor Yuan Ming," widened their eyes as they noticed Li Hao walking straight up the ancient path and the Li Hao Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul leading the way.
"Who is he?"
"That looks like an Emperor Weapon!"
"Emperor Weapon leading the way! Whose Prodigy is this? Could he be from the Emperor Clan Lineage?!"
Many people were surprised and speculated.
Li Hao felt many gazes and Divine Sense directed at him, and he naturally turned his head to look around at the disciples in the Dao Arena.
There are True Immortal and Immortal Lord, but most of them are Immortal Lord, while True Immortal are a minority here.
In addition, there were a few figures with powerful Aura, all of whom were Immortal King Realm, but at this moment they were all very simple and honest, cultivating together with the other disciples in the Dao Arena.
"These are all disciples sent by various races to become apprentices, but their aptitude is too poor to be accepted into the sect. They are considered Outer Sect Disciple under our master."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul casually introduced Li Hao, saying, "As for the Personal Disciple, they all live on the Mountain Summit and have a noble status. If these Outer Sect Disciple offend you, you can expel them at will. Of course, if they know that they are your Personal Disciple, they will definitely not dare to offend you."
Li Hao looked at the disciples in the Dao Arena, who were dressed in rich clothes and had extraordinary Aura. The other party's claim of poor aptitude was probably relative to the top Heavenly Prodigy. These people's Aura were obviously extremely extraordinary, and they were all geniuses in the same realm.
"Are the Immortal King Realm in there also?" Li Hao asked curiously.
"Um."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul nodded, "Here, cultivation level is secondary, status is primary, and the status of Personal Disciple is the highest. When they see you, they must bow and address you as Senior Brother."
"Senior Brother..."
Li Hao felt somewhat ashamed. He was only a hundred years Soul Lifespan and had just begun his training; shouldn't he be the junior brother?
"Among the Personal Disciple, you are the junior brother, but in front of them, you are naturally the Senior Brother. What right do they have to call you junior brother? Calling you senior Senior Brother is an honor for them!"
Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul seemed to have seen through Li Hao's thoughts, and spoke calmly, but his words were extremely arrogant.
This... Li Hao was speechless, unsure how to respond.
As he ascended, more and more disciples in the Dao Arena on both sides noticed Li Hao, and some even recognized his identity as the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul.
When they saw Li Hao heading straight for the Mountain Summit, the disciples in the Dao Arena were immediately in an uproar.
To reach the top, one must either Heavenly Talent or have an extraordinary background; one of the two is essential!
Otherwise, even if someone commits a serious crime punishable by death, they won't have the chance to reach the summit; they'll be punished at the foot of the mountain.
Soon, Li Hao arrived at the Mountain Summit and saw a vast expanse of scenery. It seemed as if the ten golden suns overhead were even more dazzling, but the heat wave that rushed towards him was blocked by some force and could not penetrate down.
Ahead lay a magnificent Palace Hall, ancient and solemn. Beside it stood seven or eight extraordinary halls, some extremely Xuanhe in gold, their roof tiles crafted from Immortal Treasure materials.
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul guided Li Hao to that magnificent Palace Hall.
"Kid, go and become an apprentice."
The Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul transmitted its voice to Li Hao, and here, its speech became less casual.
As Li Hao entered the main hall, he saw a young man with a full head of Silver Threads and an exceptionally handsome face sitting upright on the throne, with a Go Board in front of him, making moves on his own.
His black and gold robe exuded a slightly languid yet extremely dignified air, as if every black thread on the robe was of utmost nobility, making him someone no one dared to offend.
Upon seeing his savior from the Southern Region, Li Hao was deeply moved. He opened his mouth slightly, but then stopped, not daring to disturb him rashly.
So he stood quietly in the hall, hands at his sides, without moving.
A moment later, Dao Source Immortal Emperor finished placing his piece, then looked up with a faint smile on his face and said:
"You've finally decided to come?"
Li Hao blushed slightly and quickly said, "Senior, I have no way to repay the kindness shown to me by the Southern Region!"
No, your reward will come in time.
Dao Source Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "If you can forge your own Emperor Path in this era while retaining your original aspirations, that will be your reward to me."
Upon hearing this, Li Hao felt a surge of excitement, wishing he could immediately begin cultivating, break through to the King-Sealing, and then explore the supreme Emperor Realm.
"You've surprised me quite a bit in just Twenty Years."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor's gaze swept across Li Hao's body as if piercing through him. Even though he had been guarding the Original True World for countless Years, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes at this moment.
That strange and extraordinary Immortal Body was unlike anything I'd ever seen before, and those hundreds of drops of True God Blood were even more exaggerated.
In such a short time... He suppressed his surprise and looked deeply at Li Hao. Everyone has their own fortuitous opportunity. He wouldn't explore them, but fortunately, this fortuitous opportunity fell into the hands of this child, who might be able to make the most of it.
He remained calm and said, "You are Heavenly Calamity's disciple. Logically, I shouldn't be trying to seize his inheritance, but it doesn't matter. I've seen everything Heavenly Calamity has done for the Southern Region. You are still his disciple, and I can accept you as my Personal Disciple and teach you the Great Dao and cultivation. But you don't need to call me Master."
He spoke calmly, but the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul beside him trembled with a silvery-white light, staring at him in disbelief.
To impart the Great Dao without addressing him as Master? This is tantamount to treating Li Hao as Personal Disciple without expecting anything in return!
It never expected that its owner would be so tolerant and caring towards Li Hao.
Li Hao was also stunned. He naturally understood what this meant. What did he do to deserve such thoughtful treatment?
"Senior, if you don't mind, I would like to become your disciple!"
Li Hao suddenly knelt down and said, "The Tian Yang Immortal Emperor is my Master. If you don't mind, senior, I would also like to call you Master!"
He survived in the Twin-Seam Demon Abyss by relying on the legacy left behind by the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. Although he had never met that Master, he had benefited greatly from him and could not bear to part with him.
The Dao Source Immortal Emperor before him was also someone who had saved his life, and Li Hao only regretted that he could not repay him.
Seeing the sincere and grateful look in the young prince's eyes, Dao Source Immortal Emperor remained silent for a moment before speaking:
"If you wish, that's fine. From this day forward, you will be my seventh Personal Disciple."
He said calmly and gently, "You have called me Master all your life, and I will protect you for eternity!"
"Master!"
Li Hao's eyes reddened, as if in the Southern Region, in the desperate situation imposed by the Supreme, he had knelt down and kowtowed three times in the Void, and now, at this moment, he was bowing deeply once again.
This address of Master is not for eternal life, but simply out of my willing heart, and my True Heart desire to repay you!
Upon seeing this scene, the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul, which had been shocked and tense, relaxed and its eyes softened.
Fortunately, this kid knows how to be grateful. Otherwise, it would feel a little wronged for its master. After all, how many top Heavenly Prodigy in this world yearn to become disciples of Dao Source Immortal Emperor? But for this kid, the master not only teaches him for free, but also waives the apprenticeship ceremony. This is not Personal Disciple, but a son!
Bang bang bang!
Nine heavy thuds echoed through the hall.
A gentle force lifted Li Hao's body up.
"Alright, you've had a long and arduous journey to the Northern Region. This is a gift from your master to mark our meeting; I had already prepared it for you."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor's expression was calm, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. He pointed his palm, Dao Light appeared in the Void. It was a pure liquid containing supreme Aura.
Li Hao stared at the liquid and immediately felt the powerful Aura of the Emperor Realm, as well as the Heavenly Dao Aura that made one want to kneel in worship. He was shocked. This Aura was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the Heavenly Dao Original Fluid that Su Jiuzhe had given him. He knew without a doubt that it must be an extremely precious treasure.
"Master, what... what is this?"
Li Hao couldn't help but ask.
He was almost hesitant to accept such a treasure.
I have already exhausted all means to repay the debt of saving my life, how could I possibly accept such a generous gift?
"Owner..."
Beside him, the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul was also shocked and somewhat bewildered.
Other disciples received this gift only after passing numerous trials; this young man, who just became a disciple, already has it?
"This is the Heavenly Dao Blood."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor spoke calmly, three simple words, but when put together, they were like a thunderclap piercing the sky, shaking everyone.
Li Hao was somewhat bewildered.
Heavenly Dao Blood?
Even the Heavenly Dao... bleed?
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said, "Absorbing this blood will help you step into the threshold of the Seventh Ultimate Realm, and you may even cultivate to reach the Seventh Ultimate Realm and Eternal Immortality!"
Li Hao's heart trembled once more. The Seventh Ultimate Realm?
The Heavenly Dao Blood before me could actually help me step onto the threshold of the Seventh Ultimate Realm?
What a precious gift this is! He just became a disciple, and he immediately received the power to reach the Seventh Ultimate Realm!
The seventh of the eight realms of the Mortal World is the Three Immortalities Realm.
The Three Immortalities Extreme Realm; Undying and Imperishable, and can Blood-Drop Rebirth!
And the Terminal Realm, Eternal Immortality?
Although Li Hao didn't know how strong the abilities of this Terminal Realm were, there was no doubt that no Terminal Realm was weak.
Moreover, he himself has not even touched the threshold of the Seventh Ultimate Realm yet, and has not even noticed the direction or trajectory. If he really had to rely on himself to cultivate, who knows when it would take.
Even if he breaks through to the Thirteenth Dan or Fourteenth Dan level in Chess Dao, Sculpting, etc., it may not help him much in achieving the Terminal Realm of cultivation. After all, the Terminal Realm mostly depends on one's own enlightenment and on one's own ability to open that door!
"Master, this, this..."
Li Hao was at a loss for words. Such a treasure was probably incomparable to hundreds or thousands of Domain Artifacts.
Moreover, the Master before me had exchanged an Emperor Weapon with that Supreme being in exchange for sending me away from the Southern Region.
"Take it."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and the ball of light radiating supreme Aura immediately enveloped Li Hao's body.
Li Hao felt that supreme Aura surround him, and his physical body instantly seemed to enter the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, with all the blood in his body dispersing and his body extending infinitely.
His body was undergoing a transformation; his Primordial Spirit and flesh were all metamorphosing and fusing before this supreme power, until they reached a certain Mystery level.
Numerous Great Dao Origin were released from the Dao Source Immortal Seal, flowing between this Primordial Spirit and flesh.
His Heaven and Earth Immortal Body was originally a combination of Primordial Spirit and physical body, and now, with the fusion of these Great Dao Origin, it seems to have become even more terrifying.
"Feel it."
The voice of Dao Source Immortal Emperor rang out.
Li Hao quickly suppressed his panic and impatience, realizing that there was no point in making excuses now. He could only absorb the knowledge wholeheartedly to live up to its potential.
He calmed his mind and focused his attention on his Primordial Spirit and flesh, slowly sensing the Great Dao Origin Principle of the Great Dao, gradually integrating and permeating them.
Every drop of blood carries the Primordial Spirit and Divine Power, as well as the Dao Resonance and patterns projected from the Great Dao Origin.
These runes, like chains of Principle, are imprinted inside every drop of blood, as if etched into the veins deep within the blood, gradually forming indescribable Mystery patterns, like array patterns, or like a natural barrier of Principle.
Li Hao possessed extraordinary Dao Heart, and soon his mind was completely absorbed in it.
Feeling the fusion of these Great Dao Origin with his body, he immediately thought of the Demon who, despite their physical Destruction, could still be resurrected during their Sparring Demon.
For example, the Chi Xu and the Heiji are both like this.
Heiji hides her Primordial Spirit in the shadow of Immortal Power; wherever there is shadow in the world, that is where she hides.
This is the power of the opponent's Bloodline.
Bloodline can be inherited. When the imprint deep within the power of the Bloodline is activated, it is called Bloodline awakening!
At this very moment, it seems that Li Hao's Bloodline is writing this imprint!
"So this is what a top-tier Bloodline is... The Seventh Ultimate Realm, Eternal Immortality, is the pinnacle of a great clan's heritage..."
Li Hao was suddenly struck by a realization, filled with shock. Did this mean that his Bloodline would also be passed down to future generations?
"Physical body, Divine Blood, Primordial Spirit... When all is destroyed, there are still Principle, there is still the Great Dao Origin..."
Li Hao was completely absorbed in it, and he seemed to gradually understand why the Seventh Ultimate Realm was called Eternal Immortality.
He couldn't even think of a way to completely kill him!
However... even the Immortal Emperor perished in the Ancient Demon War the demons, indicating that the supreme realm possesses even more extraordinary power!
For a long, long time.
When Li Hao's thoughts returned, he immediately felt that his body had changed. He felt an extraordinary lightness all over his body, as if he were constantly in harmony with heaven and Heaven and Earth, and with the origin of the Great Dao Origin in the Heaven and Earth, without any weight.
"How?"
The voice of Dao Source Immortal Emperor came.
Li Hao came to his senses and felt that his Heaven and Earth Immortal Body had become even more terrifying, but he didn't know exactly how much it had improved, though it was definitely more than before.
"I think I touched it..."
Li Hao said that he felt he had not yet truly entered that Terminal Realm.
But he had already felt and touched it.
Dao Source Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "It's good that you can touch it. When you comprehend what a 'Life Core' is, then you'll have truly stepped into it."
"Life Core?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered. These two words were like Dao Light, flashing through his thoughts, and he vaguely understood something.
When the Primordial Spirit, physical body, and the Great Dao Origin are completely integrated, one can be reborn from any point, no longer merely at the level of "Blood-Drop Rebirth".
If one is omnipresent, then where is one's true self?
Perhaps, the "Life Core" that Master spoke of was where my true self resided at that time.
"My Extreme Dao Mountain has many disciples, all accumulated over countless Years, sent here by various clans through connections."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor's voice slowly drifted over. "If you have some talent and can cultivate to become a powerful expert, I'd be happy to teach you. But including you, I only have seven Personal Disciples."
"Of your other six Senior Brother Senior Sister, three of them have already reached the Quasi-Emperor Realm."
"Quasi-Emperor?"
Li Hao was startled, somewhat taken aback and shocked.
Three Quasi-Emperor Realm... were actually my fellow disciples... my Senior Brother Senior Sister?
"The other three joined a little later. Two of them are at the Immortal King Realm, and only one, like you, is at the Immortal Lord Realm, but he has already reached the Perfection of Immortal Lord Realm and has also Chaos Law, and is trying to break through to a higher realm of the Chaos Law."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said.
Li Hao secretly clicked his tongue in amazement; all his Senior Brother Senior Sister were incredibly capable.
The weakest among them is at the Immortal Lord Realm Peak, and has even Chaos Law. You must know that I haven't even touched the shadow of the Chaos Law yet.
So, does that mean I'm the weakest among your disciples?
Seeing Li Hao's astonished expression, Dao Source Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. With your talent, you'll catch up with them quickly. In less than a thousand years, you should be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with your sixth Senior Sister."
Beside him, the Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul was astonished. His master actually thought highly of this young man?
Although it knew Li Hao was an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy, which Personal Disciple of their master would be lacking?
That sixth Senior Sister is also a top-tier Prodigy who has condensed the Dao Source Immortal Seal!
But the master actually said that the other person would be caught up by this boy a thousand years later?
Mystic Turtle Emperor Soul looked at Li Hao with suspicion. The difference in their cultivation levels was one thing, but condensing the Chaos Law was extremely difficult; even top Heavenly Prodigy struggled with it. Besides, that person wouldn't wait idly by; his progress Divine Speed. How could he possibly catch up in a thousand years?
Hopefully.
Seeing that his Master had such high expectations of him, Li Hao could only smile wryly.
He neither underestimates himself nor overestimates himself, nor does he become arrogant.
"The Original True World offers the greatest boost to the Immortal Lord Realm!"
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said to Li Hao, "Do you know the origin of the Original True World? In the beginning of Chaos, the first world between Heaven and Earth was this Original True World!"
"Many Chaos Great Dao remain in the Original True World. These Chaos Great Dao are the condensation of many Great Dao; comprehending one of them is better than comprehending a hundred!"
"But comprehending it is extremely difficult. Here are Sixty-Nine Chaos Stars, which are the primordial Chaos stones from the very beginning of Chaos!"
Li Hao listened carefully; these must be the places that countless people truly seek and yearn for in the Original True World.
"On each of those Sixty-Nine Chaos Stars, there exists its own Great Dao of Chaos!"
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said, "The purpose of coming to the Original True World is to ascend to the Chaos Star, directly comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos, and thereby master the Chaos Law, sweeping aside those of the same realm. Your sixth Senior Sister is comprehending there, as are the other Personal Disciple and Heavenly Prodigy under the Great Emperor, including those who advanced and obtained their places in the Southern Region Assembly Battle."
"These Sixty-Nine Chaos Stars have almost Refinement Myriad Daos of the world into them, containing a total of 23 Chaos Law. Comprehending even one of them is enough to sweep through the Immortal Lord Realm and suppress countless people!"
