The Heavenly Domain Was About to Open, Gathering Storms

A century Years; time flies like an arrow.

Now, Li Hao is three hundred Soul Lifespan.

Even a short decade or so in this Mortal World, let alone a hundred Years, filled with countless conversations and companionship.

A century is such a short time.

Li Hao muttered to himself as a notification popped up in front of him, but he ignored it.

"Senior Brother Haotian, don't be sad. We fought the Ancient Demon to the death, and it was a worthy death, a contribution to the Human Race."

Kuqiao said softly, looking at the boy with extremely Wenrou eyes.

He didn't say he had no regrets about dying, because they did indeed have regrets, namely, that they hadn't been able to go any further and reach the Ultimate Realm of Immortal Deity.

Which Immortal Deity in the world doesn't yearn to catch a glimpse of the supreme Emperor Realm?

But dust to dust, ashes to ashes, buried on the frontier, ultimately unable to continue the struggle.

Snowflakes drifted down from above, filling the courtyard with a desolate atmosphere, draping over everyone's shoulders and heads, adding to the sense of bleakness.

But when Li Hao heard Kuqiao's words, he laughed. As he laughed, the petals transformed into bright red Other Shore, exquisite flowers that grew on the Yellow Springs Houtu.

"Though I have the Reverse Time Heart Reverse Time. One day, if I can trace back to the source of that time, I will surely guide you all out of that battlefield!"

Li Hao said softly.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Kuqiao and the others exchanged glances. The surrounding snow had already transformed into a sea of bright red flowers, with petals fluttering in the wind. The biting cold wind in the courtyard had also turned into a spring breeze carrying Spring Breeze fragrance of flowers, swirling the petals upwards toward the heavens, chasing after the Moonlight.

"Then we thank Senior Brother Haotian very much!"

Kuqiao and the others all bowed deeply.

Li Hao didn't say anything more. The surrounding Painting Realm shifted, and the figures of Kuqiao and the others gradually blurred. As they were about to disappear, they all raised their hands and waved goodbye to Li Hao.

Those sounds also reached the boy's ears on the wind.

"Farewell, Senior Brother Wu Tian!"

"Senior Brother Haotian, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am..."

"Senior Brother Haotian-- "

As time passed and changed, the scenery in the Painting Realm also changed. Only Li Hao and Shi Miao, who stood quietly beside him, seemed to be the only ones who could remain still in this chaotic Time and Space.

"Your Time Origin has caught up with my present form."

Shi Miao said softly.

Li Hao looked at her, his eyes suddenly filled with pity. He stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "Seeing all that has passed, which cannot be brought back, you must have been in a lot of pain."

Shi Miao remained silent. Only she, born from the Chaos Time Divine Tree, knew how terrifying Curse time could be.

The most desperate moment is when you can see the Past and the Future, but are powerless to change them.

"But amidst countless moments of shattered despair, you were always there."

Shi Miao also gripped Li Hao's hand tightly. Only she knew that Li Hao was her salvation in her desperate situation.

Li Hao nodded slightly, "I will always be here, always!"

He squeezed Shi Miao's hand tightly, as if to brand her with a mark.

The two looked into each other's eyes, as if their souls had drawn closer at that moment, and nothing could be said.

Much later.

Shi Miao said softly, "With your current Time Origin Realm, I can rest assured when you go to the Endless Heavenly Domain. No one in the Immortal Lord Realm should be your match or pose a threat to you."

Recalling the previous hints and combining them with the many insights in his mind, Li Hao already knew what was going on.

Upon opening the Panel in his mind's eye, he saw the previous prompt.

[You have grasped the Painting Dao State of Mind, the Reverse Time Painting Realm]

[Painting Dao increased to Thirteenth Dan]

Li Hao saw that a Thirteenth Dan Painting Realm Dao Heart had appeared in his State of Mind.

By simply embedding it and adding a little Art Skill Point, he can be elevated to the Immortal King Realm.

However, the Endless Heavenly Domain will open in a hundred years, so Li Hao naturally won't improve at that time.

"If I break through to the next realm and become King-Sealing with Reverse Time Heart, then my World Domain will be Reverse Time Domain!"

A thoughtful look appeared in Li Hao's eyes. The Reverse Time Domain, as the name suggests, can reverse Time and Space, but the scope of reversal is limited. Previously, when Kuqiao and Han Ku were in the Painting Realm, it was by reversing time that they were able to summon their Past souls, which allowed them to have that moment of genuine emotion.

Rather than Li Hao manipulating the Painting Realm.

However, with just that wisp of soul power, Li Hao could only reverse time to several decades ago. If he wanted to completely and truly reverse the entire Time and Space, making everything flow backward, the sun and moon reverse, and the rivers flow backward, he could only reverse time for a few to ten years at most. And even that was limited in scope and consumed an extremely large amount of energy.

"With the power of the Reverse Time Domain, it is naturally superior to the Kuqiao and the others, after all, it is based on time, even the Other Shore..."

If it cannot be broken, and if it were to be reversed back to before the World Domain was formed, causing the mountains and rivers of the World Domain to reverse and the Sea of Life to regress, the Sea of Life might even dry up.

"But this doesn't seem to be the strongest World Domain yet."

Li Hao thought of his Senior Brother Senior Sister; as Personal Disciple, their World Domain must be extraordinary.

It's unlikely that they can visit each other's World Domain in the same way they visited the Kuqiao realm. After all, they are all Personal Disciple with similar status. The World Domain is the core, like dissecting one's heart and exposing it. Even close relatives would find it difficult to do this, let alone others.

"If you only need to understand the general methods, it shouldn't be a problem."

Li Hao pondered this, knowing that this could be sensed through actual combat.

Thinking of this, he immediately Communication to his Senior Brother Long Qingge and Lei Jingfeng.

Soon, upon learning of Li Hao's intentions, the two avatars arrived outside Li Hao's Small Courtyard.

"You want to know what methods our World Domain uses?"

Long Qingge's eyes possessed a dragon's might, and although he calmly looked at Li Hao, he exuded a domineering aura of looking down on him, yet his Aura towards Li Hao was extremely gentle.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded, "Please enlighten me, my two Senior Brothers."

"Junior Little Brother, you're not trying to break through to the Immortal King-Sealing, are you? You've only Refinement 21 Chaos Law. It's too early. You should use this time to continue improving your Chaos Law," Lei Jingfeng said, worried that Li Hao would become an Immortal King prematurely and miss this greatest fortuitous opportunity in the Original True World.

"Just for information, to use as a reference," Li Hao said vaguely.

Lei Jingfeng noticed Li Hao's ambiguity and frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it. Li Hao already knew about the Endless Heavenly Domain; if he insisted on going his own way...

The Master would stop it, and besides, he didn't think Li Hao was that stupid; there was probably another reason.

"My World Domain can World-Ending Chaos Thunder to annihilate everything, cleave space, sever time, and forge the sharpest sword with supreme divine lightning!"

Lei Jingfeng said.

Long Qingge also said, "My World Domain, with the body of the Progenitor Dragon Body coiled at the source of time, overlooks everything. Powers such as time and space will all be bound before my World Domain!"

Li Hao confirmed that both of their World Domain could withstand the test of time.

"Destiny is unpredictable, time reigns supreme. Since Senior Brother World Domain are not centered on time, how can you sever time?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is the wonder of spiritual practice."

Long Qingge laughed and said, "Before reaching the Immortal King Realm, all the power one Mastery adheres to the Nine Orders of Respect under the Heavenly Dao. Mastering the Nine Sequence Origin makes one invincible among those of the same realm!"

"But the Immortal King Realm is different. The kings of the Immortal King Realm are kings who establish themselves as kings!"

"This King's Path is the Great Dao that I have chosen and opened up by pouring my understanding of the Nine Orders Power and the power of Myriad Daos into one, including my Bloodline, combat experience, and Dao Heart. This Path has strengths and weaknesses; the weaker ones are not even as strong as the Nine Orders Power, while the stronger ones are derived from the Nine Orders but surpass Nine Orders, with the King's Path that I have conferred upon myself as its core!"

"That's right."

Lei Jingfeng nodded, "My Thunder Dao can sever time; it combines with the Nine Orders, but the Nine Orders are merely an aid."

"I see."

Li Hao suddenly realized what was happening.

Utilize the Nine Orders to transcend the Nine Orders!

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what his Master had said.

The Dao Source Immortal Seal Myriad Daos the convergence of all paths; how to choose between these two is up to oneself.

"Thank you both, senior Senior Brother."

Li Hao raised his hand and bowed deeply.

Seeing that Li Hao had explained, the two smiled and asked Li Hao if he needed any further assistance. When Li Hao said no, they both left.

"They're right."

After the two left, Shi Miao spoke, saying, "The State of Mind you chose earlier, the 'two,' was the desire to reverse Time and Space and resurrect them, so your instinct was to choose this as the 'one.'"

"So, if I were to use Reverse Time as my World Domain, I might not be a match for my two Senior Brothers."

Li Hao smiled wryly.

Shi Miao shook her head and said, "What they mean by severing Time and Space may not include your power. Since you have been crowned King of Reverse Time, this is your own King's Path. What they severed was the Time Origin of other Immortal King Realm, not yours. Just like Han Ku and Kuqiao before, their World Domain also contained the power of time, which they could easily sever. But yours is a pure Reverse Time Domain. Reverse Time and time are two different levels!"

Li Hao felt a slight sense of satisfaction, his eyes brightening as he asked, "And you, what World Domain do you belong to?"

"I am the Time Domain."

"Time?"

Li Hao Haozhu—I never expected such an ordinary name.

Shi Miao seemed to see through Li Hao's thoughts and said, "You want to reverse Time and Space, but I want to accelerate Time and Space so that I can arrive in your world sooner."

Li Hao's chest tightened, and he was speechless for a moment.

Shi Miao True Form was born Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Catastrophe, while I am 100,000 years later, a long span of 100,000 years.

"I hope that one day I can reverse Time and Space and go back to the Past to see you as you once were," Li Hao said softly.

Shi Miao smiled and said, "I want to too."

The two exchanged a smile, Li Hao asked, "So, how does your Time Domain compare to the World Domain of my two Senior Brothers?"

"Stronger."

Shi Miao's answer was extremely brief and to the point, without any further explanation.

Li Hao immediately understood, and thus gained confidence in his Reverse Time Domain.

Suddenly, another question occurred to him: Can there only be one World Domain?

Can there only be one World Heart?

If I were to raise all seven of my Art Skill to the Thirteenth Dan, wouldn't I have Seven World Hearts?

Li Hao immediately asked Shi Miao about his guess.

Shi Miao said, "There can only be one World Heart and one World Domain! Many Heavenly Prodigy have had this idea in the past, wanting to condense two World Domain and multiple World Heart, but if there are too many World Heart, they will collapse on their own. World Domain can be layered, but there can only be one, and that one must be connected to one's own Dao Heart."

"If you comprehend the second World Heart, you can try to merge with it. Many Heavenly Prodigy have ascended to the stage of geniuses by merging their Heavenly Prodigy World Heart."

Shi Miao said.

A thought flashed through Li Hao's mind: merging?

If the seven Art Skills are all integrated with one's State of Mind, what kind of World Heart will be forged?

He didn't know, but suddenly he really wanted to try. However, it had taken him hundreds of years to condense this Painting Dao State of Mind. If he were to comprehend it all, he estimated that his Soul Lifespan would be over a thousand years!

A thousand years of Soul Lifespan is undoubtedly a very distant Years for Li Hao.

As time passed, in a certain Chaos Star,

In an Underground Cavern, a figure in Green-Robed suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a thunderbolt, and Sword-Ray shot forth.

"Twenty-Three Chaos Laws!"

"After more than three hundred years, I've finally mastered it!"

"Three Hundred Years have passed since I came here to seek enlightenment, until Comprehended 69 Stars and condense Twenty-Three Chaos Laws!"

Lin Zhixuan's eyes shone brightly. Without a doubt, this achievement would shock his Master's Sect. In the Heavenly Prodigy Original True World, where geniuses gathered, it was top-tier, and even among the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple, it was only considered average!

"My Master said that if I can condense Twenty-Three Chaos Laws before then, I will be allowed to participate in the battle in the Endless Heavenly Domain, and my Ninth Senior Sister will also take care of me."

"Ninth Senior Sister is an unparalleled Heavenly Prodigy who has Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws. She has been cultivating here for over two thousand years, all to await this Endless Heavenly Domain."

I haven't reached the Immortal King Realm yet!

Lin Zhixuan clenched his fists, his heart filled with excitement. Now, there were still a few years left before reaching the Endless Heavenly Domain, but he had already condensed Twenty-Three Chaos Laws ahead of time.

He knew what a fortuitous opportunity the Endless Heavenly Domain was; if he missed it, and had to wait for the next one, it would be somewhat harmful to remain in the Immortal Lord Realm.

After all, with war raging on the Northern Region Frontier, the Lin Clan needed him to step forward and provide support as soon as possible.

"Three Hundred Years, that guy still seemed to be Refinement 21 Chaos Law, and he didn't continue the Dao Arena Challenge. These Past two hundred years have passed; he should have added at least two more Chaos Law by now, making him the same as Ninth Senior Sister."

Lin Zhixuan frowned, a gloomy feeling washing over him as he thought of that figure.

In the Northern Region, he shone brightly from a young age, but that figure overshadowed and obscured all his brilliance in just a few years.

Since that battle with the Demon, the Northern Region only knows that the Human Race has Haotian, but no one talks about Lin Zhixuan anymore!

Now, in the Original True World, the opponent appeared out of nowhere, attracting the attention of all forces. The speed of his cultivation has shattered even his will to catch up.

Fortunately, he can now enter the Endless Heavenly Domain.

"Even if Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws ahead of time, what good would it do? We could only stand there and wait for us to catch up. If Endless Heavenly Domain would open a thousand years from now!"

Lin Zhixuan Dark Dao to himself, "If that's the case, the other party will stay in the same place and wait for me for a thousand years. At that time, I will definitely be able to catch up and compete with him again!"

Primal Land, deep within a mountain range.

With a loud bang, the rocks suddenly shattered, and a figure soared into the air from within.

"Destiny has been elusive, preventing me from reaching the pinnacle of my cultivation! Damn it!"

This was a Chaos God-Demon with prominent horns and a crimson body, its eyes gleaming with ferocity.

He threw several punches into the air, creating bursts of shattering and annihilation before finally venting his anger.

"Fortunately, I've perfected all the other aspects of my training. I'm sure I'll be number one on this Ascension Path!"

On another peak.

The young man, clad in Dark-Gold Armor, slowly opened his eyes, a ray of dark gold light emanating from them.

"Twenty-Three Chaos Laws, truly the ultimate. The Heavenly Dao is flawed, Destiny hides, alas—"

He sighed softly, then looked into the distance, as if gazing at a distant Mountain Summit.

"Boy, we'll meet soon. In these two hundred years, you should have Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws by now!"
