Chapter 435
Seeing Hearing Yu Huang greet him personally, Jiang Ziyan and the others were all astonished, and then immediately thought of the person Hearing Yu Huang mentioned earlier.
They relied on their status and did not come out to greet him, only probing with their spiritual senses.
And on the other side, Master Qin of the Gan Dao Palace also sent a spiritual sense consciousness, transmitting his voice to Li Hao's ear: "The General is here; the sword I forged for you is already made; when will the General come to take it?"
"I will come later."
Li Hao responded.
"Good, the old Daoist awaits the General."
Master Qin said warmly.
Then the spiritual sense receded.
Hearing Yu Huang invited Li Hao to the back hall of the Imperial Palace at this time.
Ren Qianqian followed Li Hao, feeling somewhat cautious along the way; this was the Imperial City capital, and even though her father was a Grandmaster, she had never seen it, and the old man before her eyes was actually the Emperor of the Great Yu, looking so gentle.
"Your Majesty, was my little fox demon found earlier?"
Arriving at the back hall of the Imperial Palace, Li Hao asked about the little white fox.
He had entrusted Hearing Yu Huang to look for it earlier, but there had been no news.
Hearing this, Hearing Yu Huang shook his head slightly: "I asked the Demon Suppression Division to look for it with all their might, and the Minister went to look for it personally, but there is no news for the time being; the information is a bit scarce, and there are too many fox demons, so I'm afraid it will take some time."
Li Hao sighed; where did that little thing run off to? Could it be that something really happened, and it had already been buried in the mouth of another demon? Thinking of this, his brows couldn't help but knit together, and he said: "Then I will trouble Your Majesty to take more heart."
"Fox demons are good at hiding; I have already asked the Demon Suppression Division to spread the news; perhaps one day it will come out on its own, knowing you are looking for it." Hearing Yu Huang comforted Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded, then asked: "What about the calligraphy and paintings and chess manuals..."
Hearing Yu Huang laughed and said: "These have also been found for you, and I can take you to appreciate them later."
"Good."
Li Hao nodded, not knowing what strange attributes he could get this time.
At this time, several figures walked in the back hall; it was Jiang Ziyan and the others.
Seeing the youth sitting opposite Hearing Yu Huang in the courtyard, speaking warmly, their eyes moved; before they went to the Immortal Gate, they had never seen anyone other than royal descendants dare to communicate with their father so casually.
If it weren't for their return from the Immortal Gate this time and their improved cultivation, they would have been trembling in front of Hearing Yu Huang in the past, fearing his majesty.
Hearing Yu Huang noticed his children and royal brothers walking over and introduced them to Li Hao immediately.
Once Li Hao stepped into the Immortal Gate, with Li Hao's talent, he would definitely be able to worship in the Holy Mountain and look after each other in the future.
"... this is my daughter, Jiang Ziyan; Ziyan, this is the youth I told you about who saved my Great Yu Divine Dynasty, and also the benefactor of my Jiang family."
Hearing Yu Huang said; although he didn't suggest Jiang Ziyan look after him in his words, his eyes were quite solemn.
Jiang Ziyan sized up Li Hao, finding that although she was in the Dao-Law Realm, she couldn't see Li Hao's aura at all, only the trace that the other party deliberately revealed earlier made her perceive that he was in the Dao-Hearing Realm.
So young, and practicing in the human world, able to kill six Dao-Law Realm cultivators across realms? Jiang Ziyan didn't believe it in her heart, but she knew her father wouldn't lie, and it was hard for him to be deceived, and she had also visited Grandpa Qin these past few days and roughly learned the process of that battle.
She had seen various absolute arts, secret techniques, and divine abilities in the Immortal Gate, plus the existence of the martial arts extreme realm; if various things were gathered, it was indeed possible to fight across realms.
Moreover, the youth before her was a Sage reincarnated, and the means he mastered would definitely not be bad.
"General, thank you for your help to my Jiang family; Ziyan has remembered this kindness."
Jiang Ziyan said softly: "Three days later, the three great Holy Lands of my Cloud Mist Realm will all come here to accept disciples; this time accepting disciples, the main target is those who have mastered the extreme realm, followed by top-tier monsters; the General can kill Dao-Law Realm cultivators, so you should have mastered many martial arts extreme realms, right?"
Li Hao had already learned about these things from Chu Jiuyue and just nodded.
"If you master one extreme realm, you can be picked by a Holy Land; if you master three extreme realms, you can worship a Half-Sage as a master, or even be noticed by a Sage; if you master four extreme realms, you can become a Sage's disciple..."
Jiang Ziyan glanced at Li Hao and said: "If the General can worship a Half-Sage, I hope you will choose my Origin Holy Land; even in the Land of All Sages, my Origin Holy Land has a great reputation, and it is also the number one Holy Land in the Cloud Mist Realm."
Li Hao's eyes moved, and he also asked her about the situation in the Land of All Sages.
Jiang Ziyan didn't hide anything from Li Hao and informed him of the general situation.
Li Hao then learned that the Land of All Sages was unimaginably vast, with thirty-three small worlds and one hundred and eight Holy Lands; no wonder it was called the Land of All Sages.
Sages, who were hard to see in the human world, were like suns hanging high in the sky there, reflecting countless dynasties.
However, even in the Land of All Sages, wanting to see a Sage was extremely difficult, and only those with peerless talent could possibly see one with their own eyes.
Occasionally, Sages would preach the Dao, attracting geniuses from all sides to gather, which was a grand event.
After chatting for a few sentences, Jiang Ziyan and the others left; they also had to look for some royal monsters to see if there were any who were willing and qualified to go to the Immortal Gate.
And Li Hao followed Hearing Yu Huang to the royal treasury to pick the calligraphy and paintings and chess manuals that had been collected.
In addition, Li Hao took out 170 battle flags he had made and gave them to Hearing Yu Huang.
Only ten were left at Heaven Gate Pass, although ten were already enough.
Li Hao informed Hearing Yu Huang of the wonderful use of the battle flags; Hearing Yu Huang had already learned in the Liangzhou Battle that Li Hao's battle flags contained arrays and had extremely strong lethality; now seeing Li Hao give this item, besides being surprised, he was also somewhat curious.
"Where did you learn to make this?"
Hearing Yu Huang couldn't help but feel that Li Hao was indeed a Sage reincarnated, and the various incredible means he mastered were hard to explain.
"Figured it out myself." Li Hao couldn't explain and had to bite the bullet and say.
Hearing Yu Huang smiled and didn't pursue it; after all, this involved secrets.
He put away these battle flags, feeling somewhat emotional in his heart; according to Li Hao, the deterrent power of these 170 battle flags was probably stronger than the effect of the 10 Dao talismans gifted by Jiang Ziyan.
After all, besides the lethality of the battle flags themselves, if fully utilized, it wouldn't be just a simple 170.
Each battle flag had a deterrent force.
"If the Great Yu encounters disaster again in the future, it will definitely be filled with your battle flags..." Hearing Yu Huang said softly.
Li Hao was somewhat helpless; this kind of talk shouldn't be said, Your Majesty; what if it comes true?
Hearing Yu Huang brought Li Hao to the calligraphy and paintings and chess manuals and said: "These are all here; you pick them yourself; I don't understand much either; if you need anything, call me; I'll go handle worldly affairs first."
Li Hao nodded, and Hearing Yu Huang turned and left, throwing Li Hao, an outsider, into this royal treasury, seemingly not worried about Li Hao stealing anything. After Hearing Yu Huang left, Li Hao's gaze scanned the many calligraphy and paintings, brought up the panel, and began to detect and record them.
Soon, a recording prompt appeared on the panel: Famous painting "Earth Roaring Moon Map" detected, record it?
"Record."
Soon, a famous painting was added to the panel's illustrated guide.
And in the famous painting before his eyes, a famous painting of towering peaks disappeared.
Li Hao glanced at it and chose to embed the "Earth Roaring Moon Map" into the Physical Dao.
Soon, the attributes of the illustrated guide were also born:
Earth Roaring Moon Map: Attack power has a piercing effect.
Li Hao was slightly stunned, a piercing effect? This was the first time he had seen this attribute, but it seemed very strong.
Such as the arrogant and rough physical body of the Dragon race, or some precious armor, etc.; he didn't know if his attack could ignore them.
Including indestructible Dao power, he didn't know if his attack could penetrate obstacles and kill the enemy directly.
These still needed actual combat tests to know.
Li Hao continued to record.
Some chess manuals and famous paintings entered the panel one after another.
Although not all famous paintings and chess manuals could be called masterpieces that could be recorded, he still harvested more than a dozen illustrated guides.
At the same time, within the nineteen states, monsters from all sides gathered in the Imperial Capital.
The entire Imperial City Palace was extremely lively, and monsters from various families were looking forward to it.
"You say, is Hao Ge also going to enter the Immortal Gate this time?"
"Mother asked us to try; I don't know if we can succeed."
In the restaurant outside the Imperial Palace, several figures gathered; Li Wushuang and Li Yuanzhao and others had all come.
Currently, there was no selection standard, and they only knew about accepting disciples, but they considered themselves monsters of the human world; although they couldn't be compared to a monster like Li Hao, they were still considered extremely outstanding if Li Hao was set aside.
If they could be picked by the Holy Lands inside the Immortal Gate and practice at the feet of a Sage, even listening to a Sage's preaching once or twice would be infinitely useful.
"It's a pity, if Ninth Uncle were still here, he would definitely be picked with his talent."
Li Yuanzhao sighed lightly, then looked at the Imperial Palace; he heard that Li Hao would also come this time, and thinking of seeing that big brother soon, he felt excited in his heart.
Li Wushuang and her sister Li Zhining also came, while Li Yun's talent was a bit lower, so he didn't come to join in.
"I heard that this disciple acceptance is extremely stringent; we might not be picked." Li Wushuang's eyes flickered; although she also wanted to practice inside the Immortal Gate, she didn't have too deep an obsession.
Besides them, many monsters from other God General Mansions also came; among them were not only the younger generation, but many of the older generation also arrived; although they were older, in the relatively long lifespan, they were still considered people with hope.
The group of monsters who accepted disciples in the Immortal Gate a thousand years ago did not only include the younger generation; many strong people who had been famous for many years were also picked.
However, compared to the Li family, other God General Mansions were much more prosperous; after all, the demons' planning for hundreds of years was mainly aimed at the Li family, trying to tear down and destroy one God General Mansion first as a breakthrough.
While the Imperial City was lively, figures from the Great Desolate Heaven appeared at the border, stepping out from inside and rushing to the Imperial City of the Great Yu State to participate in this grand event.
At the same time, Li Hao had finished recording the illustrated guides of calligraphy and paintings and chess manuals in the royal secret treasury, and then came to the Gan Dao Palace.
Master Qin waited for Li Hao to arrive and gave the Dao Palace sword he had already forged to Li Hao.
This sword was black and thick, the whole body dark and ink-colored without light, without the Sage Heart essence of a Sage Heart Supreme Treasure, looking like a dead object, just heavy enough and sharp enough.
Li Hao held this sword, feeling like holding a mountain.
If it weren't for his physical strength reaching 9 million jin easily after his breakthrough to the Dao-Hearing Realm this time, he feared it would be difficult to wield it easily.
"A million-jin sword, the weight is enough."
Li Hao weighed it and felt it was quite handy.
He held the sword with ease, and even standing on catkins, he wouldn't press them down.
"What name does the General want to give this sword?" Master Qin asked with a smile.
Li Hao looked at it, thought about it, and said: "Since it is a sword made with the Dao Palace, let's name it after the palace; Gongming, Gongming, let's call it Gongming (Achievement/Fame)."
"Gongming."
Master Qin pondered and nodded: "It is indeed worthy of its sharpness."
Li Hao put away the Dao sword "Gongming," and then returned to the Imperial Palace, accompanying Hearing Yu Huang to play two games of chess.
Under Hearing Yu Huang's strong recommendation, Li Hao agreed to go to the Immortal Gate; Old Man Feng was waiting for him to reminisce over there, and in addition, that Holy Son had to be dealt with.
"I'll return after I finish killing."
Li Hao said to Hearing Yu Huang.
Hearing Yu Huang smiled bitterly and said: "I hope you become a Sage over there."
"I'll try my best."
Li Hao said.
Three days passed in a flash; above the Imperial Palace, along with the morning glow, suddenly the energy fluctuated like boiling water.
Immediately following, a golden light emerged, then slowly opened, reflecting endless rosy clouds.
The brilliant Immortal Gate opened at this moment.
This transcendent and majestic aura shocked all the strong people in the Imperial City, and their gazes were cast toward the sky above the Imperial Palace.
