Twenty Years Beneath the Sun and Moon

In the center of the Chaos Sea.

In this island Immortal City, a barrier of Immortal Power and precious light surrounds the Barrier, while Dao Platform are scattered throughout the island, where many disciples meditate and cultivate.

In the Main Hall, more than ten figures sat cross-legged.

If Li Hao were here, he would find that these people were all familiar faces.

The three Su Clan Sisters, Lin Zhixuan, the Ghost Clan Sisters, and their clan's Heavenly Prodigy, another Ghost Clan youth, as well as Mingyue, Shen Wuji, Di Linchen.

"Recently, a young man named Haotian arrived in the Original True World, causing a great stir and disturbing your Dao Heart, making it impossible for you to cultivate in peace."

In the hall, the majestic figure of the Chaos Immortal Emperor sat upright, surrounded by the Sun, Moon, and Stars, Great Dao, and the Great Dao. It was as if he were in a vast Star River, or sitting in Time and Space Past Future, making people dare not look directly at him and feel a sense of prostration and gazing up in awe.

His voice was calm, yet each word was powerful, like the humming of the Dao Sound.

Upon hearing their Master's words, everyone in the hall exchanged bewildered glances. The Ghost Clan Sisters knew Mingyue, Shen Wuji, and others; they were all Heavenly Prodigy from the Southern Region. However, the Su Clan Sisters beside them had only recently arrived in the Original True World and become disciples of their Master.

Among them, the Heavenly Prodigy beside him, Lin Zhixuan, is already Personal Disciple, just like Di Linchen.

Although they did not condense the Dao Source Immortal Seal, the Chaos Immortal Emperor's requirements for accepting disciples were not so strict.

As for the others, they are in the candidate list for Personal Disciple. The requirement for them by the Chaos Immortal Emperor is that they Refinement Twenty Chaos Laws Chaos Immortal Emperor then become his Personal Disciple and receive his True Disciple!

Only then, upon hearing their Master speak, did they realize that they were all acquainted with Haotian.

Lin Zhixuan and the Su Clan Sisters knew that Di Linchen, Mingyue, and the Ghost Clan Sisters Heavenly Talent just as talented as them, so they were surprised that they also recognized Li Hao.

"Master, his Soul Lifespan is clearly only a little over a hundred years, how could it be so exaggerated? Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Immortal Emperor, but he has somehow concealed his Soul Lifespan?!"

Amidst the crowd, Mingyue gritted her teeth and asked.

Her Master was the Southern Region Supreme. Her coming to the Chaos Immortal Emperor to learn from him was a favor from her Master, and also a favor she would have to repay in the future. Therefore, although she could not be considered a direct disciple of the Chaos Emperor, she was still considered a disciple of the Chaos Immortal Emperor.

Hearing Mingyue's clearly unwilling words, Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and the others all looked at her, their brows furrowed.

I had spoken with this girl when I first Master's Sect, and I sensed an inherent arrogance in her, though she was relatively restrained in her attitude towards them. But now it seems she harbors a deep-seated prejudice against Li Hao?

Lin Zhixuan glanced at Mingyue, who had asked the question he wanted to ask, but when he caught a glimpse of Su Muqing's frowning expression, a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.

"I've inquired about concealing Soul Lifespan; it seems only the Reincarnation Stone can do that, but it's even rarer than Emperor Weapon in the hands of the Ancient Demon Clan."

"Shen Wuji said."

His feelings towards Li Hao were complicated. He had initially had some fighting spirit, but now even that was gone, leaving only sighs and bitterness.

"There is no other explanation."

The Mingyue resolutely entered the tunnel.

The hall fell silent; no one spoke, all waiting for their Master to give an answer.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor remained calm and said, "That young man does indeed possess secrets, but he is not a reincarnation of Immortal Emperor. He has his own fortuitous opportunity, and you all have fortuitous opportunity. That young man rose from humble beginnings, growing in a barren patch of soil devoid of Immortal Power within the decaying Tian Yang Pseudo-World. In just a hundred years, he has ascended step by step to reach where he is today."

"You have received top-notch training since childhood, with all kinds of Immortal Power spirit medicine. In terms of true difference, it's not just about Heavenly Talent and comprehension, but also about the influence of Dao Heart."

Everyone was stunned upon hearing their Master's words.

"He was born into such a low-lying family?"

Lin Zhixuan was somewhat stunned. He had previously guessed that the other party was also Personal Disciple of the Immortal Emperor, and had been carefully cultivated by the Immortal Emperor behind him, but he did not expect that his Master would say that the other party rose from humble beginnings.

As Heavenly Palace Disciple, Mingyue knew some Intelligence about Li Hao. She knew that Li Hao was the Personal Disciple of the Sin Immortal Tian Yang Immortal Emperor. Since he Personal Disciple of the Immortal Emperor, his growth conditions must not be bad. Therefore, she did not quite believe her Master's words, but she naturally did not dare to question them. She just frowned.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor's eyes were calm, like a deep ocean, as if he could see through the thoughts and ideas of each disciple before him.

He said slowly, "That young man's Dao Heart is extraordinary, far surpassing yours. If Heavenly Talent can be lost, then Dao Heart should not be lost. From today onwards, you will suspend your comprehension of the Chaos Star and all of you will focus on cultivating your Dao Heart at the edge of the Absolute Sea Cliff. Once your Dao Heart reaches the pinnacle of Eternity, then you can resume your cultivation. At that time, you will not be swayed by external things."

Upon hearing his words, everyone's expression changed. Their Master actually wanted them to stop cultivating—how could that be?

In that case, wouldn't Heavenly General widening the gap even further?

They all looked up, only to meet the calm gaze of the Chaos Immortal Emperor. In an instant, the surprise and doubt in their hearts, and the many words they were about to say, all vanished without a trace.

Despite a thousand reasons not to, they dared not question or refuse.

Su Muqing was somewhat stunned upon hearing her Master's words. Her Master had just said that the young man's Dao Heart far surpassed theirs?

But the other party...

Her expression became complicated. She wanted to confirm with her Master, but she realized in her heart that her Master had no reason to deceive them. As an Immortal Emperor, he would never lie to them.

Thinking back to how the young man had abandoned his cultivation in his courtyard, choosing instead to stay by his side every day... it turned out that it wasn't that his Dao Heart was weak, but simply that he wanted to keep him company?

She clenched her fists, and suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if pricked by a needle, in her chest.

"Only when your Dao Heart reaches the Eternity peak will you understand that Years is long, and the speed of a moment is insignificant; only by standing at the peak in the end can you Eternity."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor calmly said, "Just like the Chaos Sea you see, and every drop of rain and every rock in the Heaven and Earth, they are not like Birds and Beasts that can fly and jump. But Birds and Beasts and beasts, Flowers and Grass and trees, will eventually wither and die. Only these mountains and waters Undying Realm Eternity."

"Through the long passage of time, thousands of years later, that single raindrop remains the same raindrop, evaporating on the ground, turning into mist, and finally condensing back to the earth."

"It has changed its appearance and its body, but it still exists Eternity in the world."

His voice was soft and gentle, as if he were telling the profound truths of the Heaven and Earth.

Su Muqing and the others were all shaken. Suddenly, it Buddha Eye, but only the mountains and rivers changed and the rivers flowed on!

"Eternity..."

Everyone felt a sense of enlightenment.

Yes, temporary success or failure is not enough to determine the Future.

"Master, my Dao Heart has already reached the Eternity peak and has not been affected by this matter."

Di Linchen suddenly spoke, his expression calm, unlike the others whose eyes were restless.

He came here only to find out the answer, not to have his Dao Heart shaken. Not to mention that he had a great liking for that young man, even if the other party were his enemy, he would not be in a hurry. He would slowly cultivate in seclusion until he reached Perfection.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Go and comprehend the Chaos Star."

"Yes, Master."

Di Linchen stood up, then turned and left.

Since the young man was neither the reincarnation of Great Emperor nor someone else, but rather someone through some other fortuitous opportunity, he had no further doubts.

The world is full of fortuitous opportunity, and he has obtained an extremely precious fortuitous opportunity. He only needs to walk his own path; the Emperor Dao is unique and he has no need to compare himself with others.

The others' expressions changed slightly when they saw Di Linchen leave, but they quickly remembered their Master's words and composed themselves.

"Let's go to the Absolute Sea Cliff for quiet meditation."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor waved his hand, sending them all to a precipice on the back of the island, where countless Chaos waves crashed and countless Great Dao vanished.

In the Extreme Dao Mountain, in Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard.

Li Hao studies Musical Rhythm every day. In addition to the zither, he is also proficient in other instruments such as the erhu, pipa, and huqin, and can perform various melodies of joy and sorrow.

Besides studying Musical Rhythm, Li Hao also asked his Master for some Ancient Demon Corpse.

Dao Source Immortal Emperor did not ask why, but simply instructed his Second Senior Brother Di Wushe, to deliver it to Li Hao.

Only then did Li Hao realize that his Second Senior Brother 'True Form was already stationed at a Border Pass of the Emperor Clan in the True Realm. There, many Ancient Demons were constantly eyeing the strongest clan in the True Realm and launching attacks.

The Emperor Clan is the most powerful clan in the True Realm, and therefore bears the brunt of the Ancient Demon' firepower. Apart from the Emperor Clan, most of the other Top Ten clans also frequently engage in battles with the Ancient Demon Clan.

Not long after Li Hao tried to curry favor with him, his Second Senior Brother Di Wushe, sent Li Hao tens of thousands of Ancient Demon Corpse at the Immortal Lord Realm, as well as the remains of hundreds of Ancient Demon Immortal King.

"Junior Little Brother, what do you need these things for?"

The incarnation of Di Wushe left something behind and casually asked Li Hao a question.

Li Hao smiled and didn't hide anything, saying, "Eat."

"Eat?"

Di Wushe was slightly taken aback, then looked at Li Hao with a strange expression. The flesh and blood of the Ancient Demon were extremely coarse, and other Demon did not like to eat them, let alone Human Race who were extremely picky about food.

But he didn't ask any further questions, leaving behind the Ancient Demon Corpse before departing.

Li Hao continued to Cooking the Ancient Demon every day, study Musical Rhythm, and occasionally flip through the many poems and stories he had collected before.

Life in the Small Courtyard was very peaceful, while in the Chaos Dao Arena on the other side, the avatar of the Dark Side Clone was constantly accepting challenges from all sides, slaughtering many challengers' avatars, and his momentum was extremely strong.

Every day, many people go to the Chaos Dao Arena to watch the battle, wanting to see the limits of this Human Race youth, but after thousands of challenges, Li Hao has never been defeated.

However, this is also because those challengers possessed fewer Chaos Law than Li Hao.

A year has Past in the blink of an eye, and clouds Cloudmist gather on Extreme Dao Mountain.

Many disciples at the Dao Arena couldn't help but cheer upon seeing this.

"It's Chaos Rain that comes only once every five years!"

"Master has sent rain again, absorb it quickly!"

Many disciples at the Dao Arena looked up excitedly at the Cloudmist in the sky. As the Cloudmist continued to gather, the sky grew dim, and soon thunder rumbled.

A few large raindrops fell, followed by a sudden downpour.

Sitting in the courtyard, Li Hao and Shi Miao exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected that Dao Source Immortal Emperor would bestow such a benefit upon his disciple every five years.

What fell was less like raindrops and more like Immortal Power Sweet Dew, containing Chaos power that purified and condensed Immortal Power.

Li Hao and Shi Miao sat in the courtyard, not seeking shelter from the rain, but instead basking in the Chaos Rain.

Li Hao relaxed his body and absorbed the power within the Chaos Rain. He felt the Immortal Power flowing into his body like water, and his immortal sea, which was previously at the third level of Immortal Lord, was soon filled, reaching its bottleneck.

Li Hao did not deliberately suppress his cultivation level; he let it happen naturally and soon broke through to the Immortal Lord Realm Fourth Layer.

As his Immortal Power continued to increase, Li Hao's mind was no longer on cultivation; instead, he quietly looked up at the rain falling overhead.

Since he began his spiritual practice, he hadn't been caught in the rain for a long time, and this feeling was something he hadn't experienced in a long time.

"The sound of rain..."

A sudden realization dawned on Li Hao's eyes; wasn't the soft, pattering sound beside him also a kind of Musical Rhythm?

"Rain, thunder, clouds... Musical Rhythm is not just about musical instruments; the essence of Musical Rhythm lies in rhythm."

Li Hao muttered to himself.

Having previously figured out the bottleneck in the Musical Rhythm Dao, he now comprehended his State of Mind, broke through the bottleneck, and advanced to the Ninth Dan.

Art Skill Point increased by 1.

Total: 4 points.

As the Chaos Rain ended, the sky above Extreme Dao Mountain returned to its usual bright and clear state, just like it had been for years. The Chaos Rain that had fallen to the ground had long since transformed into a dense and powerful Immortal Power, which was greedily absorbed by the disciples on the mountain.

After absorbing the energy extensively, the disciples of each Dao Arena quickly began to sit cross-legged and cultivate, refining the Immortal Power.

Li Hao also withdrew his gaze, and as he felt the numerous Musical Rhythm Dao realms flooding into his mind, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

He raised his hand and summoned a ball of water, which he wrapped around the strings of his instrument, and then began to play.

The strings, now wet with water, produced a sound completely different from before.

Shi Miao heard Li Hao's zither music, she was somewhat surprised. She felt that the sound Heart Entry and extremely pleasant, giving her a sense of peace and tranquility.

"The crackling sound of burning firewood can also become a moving Musical Rhythm."

"Gather a handful of flowing sand; the sound of the grains falling is also Musical Rhythm."

Li Hao felt that his understanding of Musical Rhythm had become broader, no longer limited to musical instruments.

Reaching the Ninth Dan in Musical Rhythm, and then the Tenth Dan, is considered Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood!

"You've advanced to the Immortal Lord Realm Fourth Layer."

Shi Miao smiled at Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded. He felt nothing about the improvement in his cultivation level.

Time flies.

Three years later, Li Hao's Poetry and Books Dao, and Daoism broke through the bottleneck at the Sixth Dan, comprehended the Seventh Dan of State of Mind, and advanced to the Seventh Dan.

The challenges within the Chaos Dao Arena continued, but the number of onlookers gradually decreased. After all, many disciples who came here were unwilling to waste time watching the battles. Li Hao's continuous victories over the years had earned him recognition, and many Chaos Ancient Clan, aside from a few stubborn words of refusal, both hated and feared this young Human Race.

Because the rankings were hidden, and Li Hao stopped after Refinement nine Chaos Dao, the outside world gradually accepted Li Hao's previous performance.

This is the tenth year since Li Hao came to this place.

His Poetry and Literature and calligraphy have also reached the Ninth Dan, as have his Musical Rhythm, but he's stuck at the Tenth Dan of State of Mind.

The difference Ninth Dan and Tenth Dan is enormous. When Li Hao broke through to the Tenth Dan of the Painting Dao, Transcending Mortality and Entering Sainthood realm of sainthood, causing a great phenomenon and thus stepping into the Saint Realm.

Below the Tenth Dan is the ordinary, above the Tenth Dan is the saint.

While Li Hao was comprehending the Musical Rhythm, several figures left the Absolute Sea Cliff of the Chaos Sea one after another and returned to the Main Hall of the island.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor glanced at his disciples and knew that their Dao Heart had improved. Previously, they had been at the middle stage of the Eternity Dao Heart, but now they had been elevated to the top stage and were no longer disturbed by external things.

"Go."

He permitted them to travel to the Chaos Star to gain enlightenment.

"For the past ten years, his avatar has been challenging others in that Chaos Dao Arena instead of cultivating. He really shouldn't have gotten into that argument with those people. Why bother with such a challenge?"

The Ghost Clan Sisters were still in the Absolute Sea Cliff, talking softly. Mingyue was also there, but her Dao Heart had not yet reached the Eternity Peak. The Su Clan Sisters, however, had left.

"Snort!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue snorted coldly, "That's just his personality. He even dared to refuse my Master back then, and he doesn't care about the face of the Immortal Emperor, let alone those of the same realm."

The two Ghost Clan Sisters glanced at her, Gui Lingyue said, "You still have the mind to think about these things? If you stay here any longer, your Sword Heart Senior Brother will definitely leave you behind."

Upon hearing this, Mingyue's expression changed. Her Senior Brother, Sword Heart, had not become a disciple of the Chaos Immortal Emperor, but instead had become a disciple of a Qing Emperor's Chaos Immortal City.

The Chaos Immortal City was overseen by the Qing Emperor, who was rumored to be a Qing Emperor Immortal Emperor with extremely strong Sword Dao. This was the reason why Sword Heart became his disciple.

She and her Senior Brother each became disciples of different Immortal Emperor, which was also a way for them to expand their networks to a wider extent.

"Aren't you here too?"

"Mingyue said irritably."

"We're not Personal Disciple the Immortal Emperor, so it's not shameful to fall behind them," Gui Lingyue said calmly.

Mingyue was exasperated and stopped speaking. She closed her eyes and began to meditate, but her anxiety grew.

Time flies, and another ten years have passed. The few remaining figures on the Absolute Sea Cliff have all left one after another, and since then, the cliff has become empty again.

Meanwhile, on Extreme Dao Mountain, a melodious Musical Rhythm echoed in the Small Courtyard.

"Your music can actually make the surrounding Immortal Power more concentrated, it seems to even attract Immortal Power."

Shi Miao listened with rapt attention, utterly amazed by Li Hao's music.

Although she could easily gather Immortal Power, it was absolutely impossible for her to do so purely through Musical Rhythm.

Li Hao smiled, then suddenly his expression shifted slightly.

"Um?"

He sensed a response from the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking within his body, which surprised him. He immediately investigated and discovered that it was actually the avatar of his Dark Side Clone that had been defeated.

It turns out that in the previous continuous challenges, many people with fewer Chaos Dao had already been defeated. Now, the opponent that the Dark Side Avatar is challenging is actually a being who has Refinement ten Chaos Dao.

"They actually lost."

This was the first time in Twenty Years that Li Hao looked through the other challengers and found that they were all at the level of Refinement the Chaos Dao, including some Prodigy could rank among the top six thousand on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking.

Li Hao shook his head, not caring. Losing was losing; at least he gained combat experience.

By occasionally revisiting his memories from the Dark Side, he could absorb the experience of those Sparring with his clones. Compared to overwhelming victories, these defeats were more helpful to him, allowing him to see his own flaws and weaknesses.

"My Movement Method aren't good enough..."

Li Hao glanced at the scene and immediately understood where the battle had gone wrong. If his Movement Method had been better, he could have transformed into a burning Primordial Spirit and still have a fighting chance. In the end, he was outmaneuvered and killed by his opponent.
