Time hurried by.
After returning from the brothel, Li Hao had been confined to the residence by Li Tiangang, who forbade him from running around outside.
Father and son had a minor argument over this. In the end, both gave a little: Li Hao agreed to stay in the residence, but his father was no longer allowed to interfere with what he did there.
Li Tiangang agreed.
Li Hao no longer spent all day painting. Apart from visiting the Fifth Master for a few games of chess each day, he spent the rest of his time in the Listening Rain Pavilion.
He was both waiting for the Second Master to return and browsing the cultivation manuals.
The Listening Rain Pavilion contained an enormous number of books. Never mind comprehending them-even simply reading through them all would take at least ten years of reading day and night.
Previously, Li Hao had selected techniques to cultivate from the highest levels down, barely looking at those on the lowest floor. This time, however, he started from the bottom.
With his sixth-stage insights into the Path of the Physical Body, he should have been able to advance into the Heaven and Man Realm, yet he remained stuck here.
Li Hao decided to comprehend a Grandmaster's Heart first.
But that was easier said than done.
What was a Grandmaster?
Someone who could establish a sect and forge a path of their own.
No one could teach a Grandmaster what to do, nor could anyone instruct one.
Not even those of the three immortalities could do so, because every Grandmaster followed a different path. Although the three immortalities were higher realms, those who attained them could only pass on some of their own experiences in cultivation and advancement, not tell a Grandmaster precisely what to do.
