Background / History

Birth and Concealed Talent

Li Hao awakens as a swaddled infant in Great Yu with memories of a former life. The Yu Emperor names him in honor of Li Junye, the Li Family’s ninth son, who died at nineteen after exceptional military victories. His name and imperial gift place expectations of service on him from birth, while Ji Qingqing privately hopes he can live safely and peacefully 1.

His original body cannot absorb the medicines prepared for foundation establishment and blood fusion: the panel identifies them as unknown substances and isolates them. The household consequently mistakes him for a cultivation wasteland. Chess-earned Art Skill Points provide another route, letting him develop Sword Dao and then body-tempering arts in secret. Lin Haixia eventually witnesses his hidden sword talent and recognizes that the child has deliberately kept a low profile 5 6 8 12.

During his parents’ prolonged absence, He Jianlan, household retainers, younger relatives, and Bian Ruxue become central to his daily life. He paints, cooks, fishes, exchanges letters with Ruxue, and entertains the younger children with stories. Although He Jianlan invents reports of his parents’ concern, he later reveals that he understood the deception and pretended to be happy for her sake 32 92.

Public Recognition and Family Rupture

At fourteen, Li Hao’s Fifteen Li cultivation becomes widely known. His father returns after fourteen years campaigning in Northern Yan, and their reunion initially offers a chance for reconciliation. Li Hao explains that he does not resent his parents’ military service, but was hurt by the lack of family letters. Li Tiangang apologizes, and Li Hao cautiously asks for greater freedom 85 89 92.

His elevation to Third-Rank Bo-rank Noble disrupts the anticipated rivalry with Li Qianfeng for the family’s True Dragon position. He also teaches White Hall students at Tan Palace Academy, whose respect later survives his damaged public reputation 94 117 138.

The reconciliation collapses after Li Tiangang gravely injures Xiao Rou. Li Hao refuses to accept that his life can be sacrificed to repay his father’s obligations to a deceased uncle. Their argument becomes a physical battle, exposing his Grandmaster strength and enormous Dharma Form. Li Muxiu rescues him afterward; Li Hao declares that he will renounce the Li surname while repaying the family’s kindness 109 114.

Heaven’s Gate Pass and Liang Prefecture

Calling himself Ji Hao, he reaches Heaven’s Gate Pass with his sword attendant and little companion as its reinforcement. He protects the camp, creates techniques rather than relying on Li Family arts he promised not to use, and helps rebuild the ruined settlement into Azure Cliff City 120 124 146.

His defense of the frontier earns him the independent reputation of Young General Haotian. He drives demons from the surrounding territory, plants a banner roughly five thousand li beyond the pass, and combines military preparation with artistic cultivation. The safer region attracts merchants, travelers, settlers, and visiting art masters 162 168.

After defeating Lu Yuan, he pursues the dragon to prevent another attack on Azure Cliff City. The chase carries him toward Liang Prefecture’s battlefront and eventually into a confrontation with Candlelight God and Madam Yin. He and Li Xiaoran escape into the Dragon City Mo River, while those outside believe he may have died 187 194 197.

Dragon City and the Abyss

Inside Dragon City, Li Hao lives as Li Shilang, the Li Family’s tenth son. Li Xiaoran warns him to conceal his origins from Li Tianzong, whose powerful obsession sustains the city. Li Hao experiences a supportive recreated family, advances rapidly, and becomes its True Dragon at ten, while preparing to defend Dragon City against the coming siege 197 202 203.

Later, the blood lake forces a different transformation. Li Hao reunites his three hearts, regains his memories, advances through Four Establishments stages, and creates suppressive Dao Domains that reduce—but do not eliminate—the lake’s aging Dao intent 246.

After returning to Great Yu, he rescues threatened cities and ends the siege of Qingzhou. He nevertheless refuses to resume his parental bonds. The family confirms that he has removed its bloodline; he preserves friendships with those who treated him kindly while declaring that he is no longer a member of the Li Family 252 264 265.

The Heavens and Immortal Realm

The Yu Emperor publicly recognizes Li Hao’s identity as Chong Er and grants him the titles Great Yu Heavenly General and Eternal Guardian God. At sixteen, his Immortal Gate selection reveals seven Extreme Realms and an unclassifiable Dao heart 304 310.

After Lin Qingying rescues him, he hides his identity, rebuilds his meridians, and earns the name Qing Feng Alchemist through ingredient purification. He declines formal recruitment into the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land but receives the Sword Master’s personal token. A reunion with Bian Ruxue remains unacknowledged because she does not recognize him and he chooses not to reveal himself 317 322.

Reunited with Feng Boping, he learns Steal Heaven and prepares for threats from the Buddhist Sect and other powerful enemies. His later Immortal Realm choices continue to prioritize freedom: he honors his promise to join Great Dream Nine Abyss and accepts the State Supervisory Academy’s offer because it permits independent cultivation 350 447 460.

Southern Region Assembly and the Su Clan

Li Hao excels in the Southern Region Assembly Battle but withdraws rather than risk entering the Original True World under unsafe circumstances. He agrees to fight Mingyue again in a hundred years. When hostile powers prevent his departure, he refuses to let the Great Dream Clan suffer for him and persuades Lin Qingying not to share his immediate danger 567 570.

After being sent to the Northern Region under concealed destiny and aura, he stays near Su Muqing while cultivating through art. Although persistent in seeking her company, he refuses to let her father force their betrothal and will not proceed with a wedding without her agreement. Su Jiuzhe becomes a warm mentor, offering guidance, resources, and insight into an Emperor Path 584 591 612.

Original True World and True King Command

As the Dao Source Immortal Emperor’s disciple, Li Hao develops Chaos Dao and receives Limitless. Defeat in the Dao Arena becomes a tool for correcting weaknesses rather than a crisis of identity. His clone continues sparring while he advances his arts, reaches peak Immortal Lord, and deliberately conceals part of his law fusion 617 629 630 631.

Repeated experiments in the All Heavens Tower eventually produce five balanced World Hearts and perfect his unusual Emperor Path. He then spends five hundred years studying and cooking in the Myriad Books Pavilion 692.

Li Hao ultimately takes the position of Second True King and commands Southern Region preparations against the Ancient Demons. His projections rediscover the Yu Emperor, Feng Boping, Ren Qianqian, and other old companions living as the vulnerable Great Yu Clan. After securing them, he uses tenth-level Time Dao to search for those still missing, including Lin Qingying 709 711 712.

Appearance

• Youthful appearance: Retains a young appearance despite long periods of separation; his cultivation allows him to remain youthful for thousands of years 410.
• Attractive features: Enjoys overhearing praise of his looks during his encounter with young martial artists in Great Yue City 136.
• Cultivation robes: Wears the standard robes of a Heaven Yard disciple while staying in Sword Abyss 452.
• Immortal Seal: A dazzling Nine Flowers Immortal Seal blossoms on his forehead when he releases his full power against an Ancient Demon 470.

Personality

Li Hao values personal enjoyment over prestige. Painting, Go, fishing, cooking, and watching nature are neither affectations nor distractions to him: they are activities he genuinely loves and foundations of his cultivation. Even after gaining extraordinary status, he prefers paintings, chess manuals, and access to cultivation libraries over conventional rewards 136 168 252 270 514.

He is easygoing with friends and often gathers companions around meals, games, and conversation. His friendliness contrasts with the aloofness of many prodigies. He remembers kindness carefully, repaying Chi Yingzi with a rare Fire Dao Origin and maintaining affection for He Jianlan, Li Muxiu, and other former relatives without accepting renewed family ownership 265 362 500.

His independence can become uncompromising defiance when others try to control his life. He rejects his father’s claim over his fate, refuses recruitment that would restrict his cultivation, and resists pressure to treat reputation as more important than genuine friendship. His refusal to force Su Muqing into marriage extends that concern for autonomy to others 109 273 460 612.

In combat, he combines confidence with calculation. He uses bluffs, hidden lines, enemy habits, and chess-like formations rather than relying solely on overwhelming power. He also recognizes when retreat is wiser than continued ambition, leaving the Eleventh Desolate Domain after qualifying and withdrawing from the Assembly Battle when its rewards become too dangerous 149 430 460 567.

Steal Heaven and Experimental Techniques

• Steal Heaven: Learned from Feng Boping; can steal more than objects, extending to fortune, destiny, and the foundations of clans or cities 350.
• Dark Side Clone: Provides independently expendable arena practice; newly condensed versions inherit updated techniques, though their power and memory-sharing have limits 629.
• External qi meridians: Experiments with energy pathways beyond the body. They draw in power but remain costly, vulnerable, difficult to sustain, and impossible to retract without dissipation 353.
