Arriving one after another
At the Extreme Dao Mountain, in a Xuanhe and luxurious villa.
Only three years left...
"The Endless Heavenly Domain is about to open. In these Three Hundred Years, my Chaos Law have Refinement from three to eleven, which is only comparable to what Junior Brother Haotian did when he first entered the sect..."
Di Lingshu, dressed in a noble dark gold gown, frowned. She hadn't expected that she would actually have to rely on that Junior Little Brother who had joined the sect later on this trip to the Endless Heavenly Domain.
"I have been cultivating in the Original True World for over seven hundred years. Currently, the speed at which Refinement the Chaos Law is an average of one every forty years. The more Refinement, the slower the speed becomes. After Refinement Twenty Chaos Laws, it may take over a hundred years to make any progress."
Thinking of her junior brother Haotian's exaggerated cultivation speed, she couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.
She was extremely confident in her Master's Sect before, but in the past Three Hundred Years, she suddenly realized that she was not a top Heavenly Prodigy. Above her, besides her Eldest Senior Brother and her Prodigy Second Senior Brother, there was also a monster like her junior brother Haotian.
"Back then, I spent 200 years comprehending 69 Chaos Stars, and 100 years condensing those 69 stars into Twenty-Three Chaos Laws. In total, it only took me Three Hundred Years. Now..."
Di Lingshu sighed and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
"In these Three Hundred Years, Junior Brother Haotian should have already Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws. In Three Hundred Years of cultivation, I have only just condensed 23, while Junior Little Brother has already Refinement 23 and crossed a major realm..."
"What preparations is Junior Brother Haotian making right now?"
She raised her eyes, peering over the courtyard wall, wanting to see what was inside the Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard.
"Thump~"
The melodious strains of the zither resonated in the Small Courtyard, accompanied by the fragrant aroma of meat and the sounds of laughter and chatter.
Your cooking skills are getting better and better.
Shi Miao held the Ancient Demon's flesh and blood, sat down by Li Hao's Zither Platform, and ate while smiling and talking, her lips and teeth stained with oil.
Li Hao smiled slightly, and the sound of the zither lingered from his fingertips. The surrounding Immortal Power condensed into graceful Fairy phantoms that danced before the strings.
"A single note can set the heavens and Heaven and Earth dancing."
Li Hao murmured softly.
After breaking through to the Thirteenth Dan of the Painting Realm, Li Hao began to cultivate Musical Rhythm.
The Small Courtyard is small, so there's no opportunity for Angling. Sculpting would be too self-absorbed, and once absorbed, he would forget the Shi Miao around him. Only the company of music allows him to perceive the Heaven and Earth around him while contemplating enlightenment.
After a century of playing, his Musical Rhythm experience had become abundant. During another moment of enlightenment, Li Hao was so engrossed in it that he felt his thoughts merge with the Great Dao. When he came to his senses, Shi Miao told him that sixty years had Past, which made Li Hao secretly gasp in astonishment.
He had long heard that the higher one's realm, the more time one could spend comprehending it, sometimes spanning thousands of years in the blink of an eye; he never imagined it was truly so.
I was lost in thought for a moment, and before I knew it, sixty years Past.
That moment of enlightenment didn't lead him to a breakthrough or a complete understanding of the Musical Rhythm Mindset, but it brought him very close.
As his fingertips stopped, the graceful Fairy phantoms before him all bowed and paid their respects to Li Hao, before turning into ethereal Immortal Mist like quicksand and dissipating before the strings of the zither.
"Thirteenth Dan Mindset, truly difficult."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself, "After a hundred years of comprehension, I still haven't been able to break through to the first level. You know, in the previous decades, I had already raised the level of my other Art Skill from the first level to the Twelfth Stage, and that was for multiple skills!"
The gap between these Twelfth Stage and Thirteenth Dan was like an insurmountable chasm; Li Hao sensed the immense watershed between them.
"Your music has already begun to influence Time and Space and time."
Shi Miao said to Li Hao.
When she played the music earlier, in addition to the Immortal Power transforming into a dancing girl, the Time and Space in the courtyard also rippled and trembled, sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent, sometimes like a sudden rainstorm, and sometimes like a slow and still mountain stream. She had a very deep Mastery over time, so she also had a very deep feeling for Li Hao's music.
In the event of battle, the music played by Li Hao would be enough to transform into terrifying Immortal Arts to kill enemies on the battlefield.
"The Painting Realm Reverse Time, the Musical Rhythm... what kind of heart leads to the Way?"
Li Hao's eyes flickered; he hadn't yet found the World Heart of the Musical Rhythm realm.
Although it was just the final step, it was extremely crucial.
Time flies in the Small Courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, three years have quietly passed.
For the Immortal Lord Realm, three short years pass in the blink of an eye.
At the Extreme Dao Mountain, within the Palace Hall.
Li Hao and Senior Sister Di Lingshu came before their Master. In addition to them, Senior Brother Senior Sister such as Gu Mofan and Di Wushe She also appeared here in their avatars.
"Junior Little Brother, it's been Three Hundred Years. You must have already Refinement Twenty-Three Chaos Laws by now, right?"
As soon as they appeared, they smiled and asked Li Hao.
Three Hundred Years, Li Hao amazed the entire Original True World when he first arrived at his Master's Sect. Now, Three Hundred Years Past, he must have already reached the Immortal Lord Realm Peak.
"Hmm..."
Li Hao scratched his head. He hadn't yet added any points to the Sixth Dan the Chaos Dao, and he was worried that the Chaos Immortal Emperor might notice, or that the Primal Immortal Emperor might also have seen through him. Therefore, he chose to hold back and planned to go to the Endless Heavenly Domain to further improve.
Therefore, his current Chaos Law is still only at the stage of Refinement 21 Daos.
Seeing Li Hao's ambiguity, the others smiled and didn't delve into it, taking it as Li Hao's modesty. After all, two hundred years ago, Li Hao had already Refinement 21 Chaos Law. Even though cultivation became more difficult as time went on, with Li Hao's Heavenly Talent, two hundred years would have been enough for Refinement two more.
Dao Source Immortal Emperor glanced at Li Hao, and this glance made Li Hao feel as if he had been seen through. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seemed that he had not been able to hide his situation from this Master. The other party probably knew about his current level of Chaos Law Fusion.
But Dao Source Immortal Emperor merely glanced at it and said nothing, only calmly stating:
"The Endless Heavenly Domain is about to open. You two, along with the other Outer Sect Disciple, will travel to that Endless Heavenly Domain. It is a place of both fortuitous opportunity and doom. No one can help you there, not even your master!"
Upon hearing his words, Li Hao and Di Lingshu exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Immortal Emperor couldn't intervene, which shows how terrifying that place is.
"Success makes one a king, failure makes one perish; since ancient times, life and death have been separated by a single thought."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor slowly said, "The Endless Heavenly Domain was once the birthplace and dwelling place of the Heavenly Dao. Since the Primordial Era, when the Heavenly Dao disappeared, the Heavenly Domain collapsed and turned into countless fragments, each containing the Heavenly Dao Power. The more Heavenly Dao Power you accumulate, the greater your influence on the World Domain will be."
"Furthermore, within the Endless Heavenly Domain, there is another Ascension Path!"
"That Ascension Path to heaven, I've heard, leads to the place where the Heavenly Dao slumbers, allowing one to glimpse Heavenly Dao true form!"
"Now that the Heavenly Dao has returned, the Heavenly Heart can be reaffirmed. If you truly have the ability to ascend to the highest peak, perhaps you will indeed have the opportunity to see the Heavenly Dao!"
Li Hao and Di Lingshu had a glint in their eyes, along with intense curiosity.
What would the Heavenly Dao, the supreme being to whom All Things cultivate and pay homage, look like?
"But reaching the summit is only a possibility; with the Heavenly Dao Power that your level can accumulate, it's almost impossible for you to reach the summit."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor, however, changed the subject, saying, "There's no need to force this matter. Just listen to it as a legend. If you truly have the fortuitous opportunity, then go as high as you can on the Ascension Path and leave your name here. Perhaps when you Proving the Heavenly Heart in the future, you will gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao because of this."
"Leave your name on the Ascension Path?"
Li Hao and Di Lingshu exchanged a glance. Di Lingshu's eyes lit up, and she clenched her slender fingers.
The Ascension Path is said to be a place where the Heavenly Dao passes through. If one could leave their name on that path, wouldn't their name be seen by the Heavenly Dao?
What a supreme honor that is! Just thinking about it makes one's heart tremble with excitement.
" In the Endless Heavenly Domain, the Principle are chaotic, and the environment changes constantly, so I have no Topographical Map to give you."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor slowly said, "Furthermore, even Domain Artifact and Emperor Artifact will be rejected there. Even if you use special secret power to seal the artifact, once it is revealed and unsealed inside, you will only have ten breaths to use it!"
"This special secret technique can only seal off a maximum of three Domain Artifacts for you to carry with you. Once you exceed that, the Domain Artifact will no longer be able to be concealed and will all be repelled."
"Here are 20 Domain Artifact sealed with secret power. Each of you may choose three: some for offense, some for defense, and some for escape."
He raised his hand, and 20 Domain Artifact flew out from the Palace Hall, all shimmering with divine World Domain Divine Radiance, but they were surrounded by chains of black Aura that kept circling around them.
Li Hao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood that the choice of this Domain Artifact was extremely important.
Even the strongest Immortal Lord Realm is no match for Domain Artifact inside. This is a means of survival and killing enemies, equivalent to three trump cards.
But everyone has three cards, so it's up to us to figure out how to hide them.
Suddenly, a thought struck Li Hao. If his Dark Side avatar could conceal itself from the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, could it also conceal itself from the Endless Heavenly Domain?
Even if you're unsure, why not give it a try?
Li Hao immediately raised his hand and summoned his Dark Side Clone.
"Um?"
Gu Mofan and the others all looked at Li Hao's Dark Side Clone, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Li Hao had summoned the avatar.
"Master."
Li Hao cupped his hands and said, "This is an avatar created by a special cultivation method of mine. It can avoid the backlash of the Chaos Dao Arena's rules. I wonder if it can also avoid the spying of the Endless Heavenly Domain and carry three more Domain Artifact for me."
He expressed his thoughts.
Gu Mofan and the others were stunned, and then they couldn't help but ask about Li Hao's situation.
Li Hao also explained the matter of the Chaos Dao Arena in detail.
After hearing Li Hao's words, everyone except Dao Source Immortal Emperor, who remained calm, looked astonished.
"Junior Little Brother, are you saying that the avatars that fought in the Chaos Dao Arena were all clones of this avatar?!"
Zhan Qinghuang's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
She had never heard of such a thing before.
"Um."
Li Hao nodded. It wasn't anything special, and it wouldn't hurt for them to know.
"This..."
The group was somewhat bewildered. Previously, Li Hao had suffered a series of defeats in the Chaos Dao Arena, and they were worried that it would damage Li Hao's core essence. But it turned out that he was challenging them with the avatar of his own avatar.
"So, how much power did your True Form inherit in this avatar?"
Di Lingshu couldn't help but ask.
Li Hao estimated, "About one-third."
"..."
Gu Mofan and the others remained silent.
This was the first time they had ever heard of such a strange thing. This Junior Little Brother really did have a big secret that even their Master hadn't mentioned to them.
"It's worth a try."
At this moment, Dao Source Immortal Emperor spoke.
Upon hearing this, Li Hao was overjoyed. If he could succeed, he would have six Domain Artifact artifacts as his trump cards.
"Just tell me what Domain Artifact you need. If we don't have enough, I can seal them off for you at any time."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor raised his hand, and dozens of Domain Artifact appeared in the Void. However, none of them were sealed with secret power. The World Domain Divine Radiance emanated from these Domain Artifacts, making the hall colorful and dazzling.
"You can control these Domain Artifacts, but since you're not at the Immortal King Realm, you can only unleash a portion of their power."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor admonished.
Li Hao and Di Lingshu both nodded.
Then, the two each selected Domain Artifact.
Li Hao glanced at the selections and listened to the advice and explanations from his Master and senior Senior Brother. He then chose six burst-type Domain Artifact with single functions, without selecting any for escape or defense.
"Junior Little Brother, even though you've reached the Immortal Lord Realm Peak, it's still best to have a few items to protect your life."
Lei Jingfeng offered his suggestion with concern.
Li Hao nodded and said, "Senior Brother, my Domain Artifact can quickly release power; using it to block the opponent's Domain Artifact is enough to save my life."
His thinking was simple: as long as the Domain Artifact could withstand another Domain Artifact, he didn't think he would lose based on his own combat strength, regardless of the Domain Artifact.
Moreover, he still has the Chaos Dao he hasn't added any points to, plus his current Time Origin Eighth Level Realm, which is comparable to Shi Miao's realm. Li Hao finds it hard to imagine how strong Immortal Lord he would have to be to lose.
On the contrary, he is more worried about others running away from him and forming alliances everywhere. Therefore, once provoked, it is best to kill the other party directly. Thus, the burst-type Domain Artifact can prevent others from having a chance to escape.
Seeing Li Hao's response, the others didn't try to persuade him any further. After all, they knew best how many cards they had up their sleeves and what suited them best.
After Li Hao and Di Lingshu finished selecting the Domain Artifact, Dao Source Immortal Emperor led the two to gather at Extreme Dao Mountain. Outside on the Mountain Summit, two hundred disciples arrived, all at the Immortal Lord Realm Peak, their Aura profound and restrained.
"They will accompany you both, but you may get separated in the Endless Heavenly Domain, so don't worry about it."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said.
Immediately, he raised his hand and unleashed thousands of Domain Artifacts, soaring above the Extreme Dao Mountain.
These Domain Artifact were all shrouded in black light and sealed by secret power.
Each person may choose one item.
Dao Source Immortal Emperor said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the two hundred Outer Sect Disciple were overjoyed and excited, and they all thanked their Master in unison.
Before long, they had each selected their preferred Domain Artifact.
"Mo Fan, take them to Boundary Crossing Mountain."
Dao Source Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said.
Gu Mofan nodded, flew over to Li Hao and Di Lingshu's side, and said, "Let's go."
Di Wushe and Zhan Qinghuang stood high in the sky outside the palace, and said to the two, "Junior Sister, take care on your journey!"
Li Hao and Di Lingshu waved goodbye to them and then followed their senior brother, followed by two hundred Outer Sect Disciple, setting off in an Eldest Senior Brother procession.
Boundary Crossing Mountain is also a gathering place.
The three Immortal Emperors from the Original True World, several Chaos Immortal City, and many Heavenly Prodigy from the Chaos Ancient Clan all took flight from various places to attend this crucial and opportune fortuitous opportunity.
The Heavenly Prodigy competed fiercely, like countless True Dragon swimming against the current of the Great River of Heaven and Earth, rushing towards this most prestigious place.
"It's so lively."
Outside the Boundary Crossing Mountain, among a group of figures, Lin Zhixuan, dressed in Blue Robe, stood with seven or eight other figures beside him, including Su Muqing and Su Wanyi. On his other side was another Green-Robed Woman with an outstanding figure, her Silver Threads flowing, her face like a peach blossom, yet carrying a hint of coldness and murderous intent.
"Junior Little Brother, where is this Haotian you mentioned?"
The Green-Robed Woman looked up and scanned the area, then asked.
Lin Zhixuan looked around but didn't see anyone. Suddenly, his eyes swept towards the distance, where a dark shadow was rushing towards them.
He stared intently, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "There he is! He's here!"
Upon hearing his words, the four Sisters beside him, including Su Muqing and Su Wanqing, also turned to look at him.
On the other side, Di Linchen also turned his head to look, his calm eyes suddenly brightening, revealing a hint of anticipation.
Since their parting in the Southern Region, he had not yet seen this friend with whom he had shared drinks. He wondered if, after hundreds of years, the other party still remembered him.
"He's here."
The Ghost Clan Sisters' eyes also flickered. Three Hundred Years Past, and the two Sisters, whose aptitudes were slightly inferior, had not yet condensed all Twenty-Three Chaos Laws, let alone Refinement Chaos Law.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhixuan and Di Linchen, who were from the same sect, had already reached the stage of Law Fusion.
Lin Zhixuan's progress is extremely rapid. It is said that he condensed 23 Principle several years ago, and not long ago, Refinement another Chaos Law and entered the Refinement stage.
"It's him..."
Su Muqing stared intently, her eyes flickering with light and shadow. The events of the Su Clan's short ten years, the image of her sitting alone day after day outside the closed palace doors, flashed rapidly before her eyes, and she bit her lip slightly.
