Chapter 480

Li Hao's proposal was accepted by the Canghai Divine Dynasty.

Subsequently, an Imperial Son of the Divine Dynasty came to respectfully invite Li Hao to the Imperial Palace of the Canghai Divine Dynasty to leave a blood lead on the Divine Dynasty's Imperial Stone Dragon Seal, in order to become a contributor to the Divine Dynasty.

When the Divine Dynasty is in trouble, activating the Imperial Stone Dragon Seal can summon the contributors within the Divine Dynasty. If the contributor is unwilling to take action, they will be backlashed by the Imperial Stone Dragon Seal, and their cultivation will be damaged.

If the contributor has something to do and cannot come in person, when the summons is transmitted, they can also reflect an incarnation to fight through the Imperial Stone Dragon Seal, which can also be considered as contributing a share of strength.

Simply put, this object is equivalent to some kind of mandatory contract.

Li Hao knew that there are gains and losses. Taking people's money and eliminating disasters for people—incense fire is also like this.

In the Sage Realm, incense fire is not only power, but also similar to the currency circulated by mortals. This is also why it is extremely difficult to compete for incense fire from the hands of Sages.

This is no different from snatching money from the hands of the rich, and it is all life-risking.

This Sacrifice Dao Mountain is not far from the Imperial Capital of the Canghai Divine Dynasty. Traveling with Li Hao are three others, two men and one woman. Among them, one person has a tall and straight figure, wearing a crimson divine robe, with luster flowing on the dharma clothes, holding a long spear seemingly cast from lava, with a disdainful look, accompanied by the Crown Prince of the Canghai Divine Dynasty.

The other man and woman also look very young, and the woman's eyes are silver, which reminds Li Hao of the Holy Son Haoyue's different-colored pupils.

Clearly, those who can get the invitation of the Divine Dynasty are by no means simple.

The Imperial City of the Canghai Divine Dynasty is extremely magnificent, occupying ten thousand miles, with a towering Imperial Palace and dragon pillars coiled with Canghai totems.

Under the leadership of Crown Prince Gui Haifeng, several people arrived at the Imperial Palace and met this Divine Dynasty Emperor.

The Canghai Great Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his appearance looking like a face with a long cheek, bringing his own majesty, looking like he was over sixty years old, with only a few white hairs on his temples.

It is said that he is a Half-Saint existence, having already stepped across the Dao Law with half a foot, but has not yet condensed his own Sage Dao, with an extremely long lifespan, thousands of concubines and beauties, and many children, numbering in the hundreds, among whom there are those who inherited his bloodline, with monstrous aptitude, and are Dao Law Realm powerhouses.

Inside the court, the momentum is magnificent, with civil and military officials lined up, all gazing at these four new contributors to the Canghai Divine Dynasty.

They must remember the appearance of the other party and warn the juniors of their families to avoid bringing disaster to the family by not having eyes in the future.

Those who have been officials in the Divine Dynasty for a long time know that they must let the descendants of the family polish their eyes, otherwise it is very easy to bring disaster to the family.

"The four geniuses are all dragons and phoenixes among people. Now that you have become contributors to my Canghai, as long as Canghai still exists, you can be offered for generations, and your beautiful names will be passed down!"

The Canghai Great Emperor said to Li Hao and the other four with a smile.

After simple pleasantries, the Canghai Great Emperor took out the Imperial Stone Dragon Seal and asked Li Hao and the other four to drip blood.

After dripping blood, the Canghai Great Emperor conferred titles on the four in the main hall, bestowed contributor waist tokens, ranked below the Emperor within the Canghai Divine Dynasty, enjoyed the privileges of divine titles, and could even mobilize troops within one hundred thousand people, in addition to salaries, but gold and silver salaries and other things were just embellishments.

Then he took the four to the inner hall to discuss the matter of incense fire.

"The requests of everyone earlier, I have all agreed. Today, master craftsmen will come to measure the golden bodies for the four of you. Starting from today, temples will be built for the four of you throughout the Divine Dynasty, golden bodies will be molded, and I will let the Commander-in-Chief be responsible for singing the praises of everyone's beautiful names and deeds in the city."

The Canghai Great Emperor smiled: "The better the results everyone achieves, the more legendary the deeds, the more incense fire there will be, and it can even spread out of everyone's cities to other places."

Incense fire offerings, besides building temples, molding golden bodies, and guiding people to sing praises, if one's own reputation and deeds are extremely loud and spread, there will also be incense fire that comes spontaneously.

Therefore, incense fire is difficult to obtain. Those mortals will only believe in the strongest Sages. If one wants to turn their faith to oneself, one needs to use many means.

Li Hao's reputation in the Great Yu Divine Dynasty is loud, so after the incense fire of the Jiang family was collected and the formation of the state city where the five great divine general mansions were located was no longer used to reverse it, the scattered incense fire would soon transfer to him, and the process was effortless.

Seeing that this Emperor was already prepared, Li Hao nodded and had no objections.

"Your Majesty, when will Princess Yunji marry me?"

The red-robed youth holding the molten divine spear asked calmly.

"You can set the wedding date yourself." The Canghai Great Emperor smiled.

"Then let it be held immediately after I take the first place in this battle. Later, I have to compete with the three major Holy Lands, and I won't have time."

The red-robed youth said.

His words made the other man and woman frown slightly. The confidence in his indifferent tone made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"This first place is not so easy to take, right?"

The purple-robed youth's eyes were cold, and he said indifferently. What he sought in this battle was also the first place. If he couldn't even take the first place among rogue cultivators, how could he compete with the geniuses and Holy Sons of the three major Holy Lands and take the fighting quota of the Canglan Realm.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, the red-robed youth glanced at him, and his eyes suddenly became cold, with killing intent faintly revealed:

"Do you have an objection?"

The purple-robed youth narrowed his eyes and said: "Objection is not the word, I'm just afraid someone's tongue will be flashed by the wind!"

While speaking, he looked toward the Canghai Great Emperor and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, is the other party marrying Princess Yunji also a condition for becoming a contributor? If so, I don't have a princess I admire, can I add two more cities of incense fire?"

The Canghai Great Emperor was suddenly in a dilemma. With the other party's strength, giving five cities of incense fire was the reasonable price he thought of. If it were more, it would be a bit uneconomical.

Unless the other party had hidden means that hadn't been fully revealed earlier, so he couldn't say anything dead now.

While the Canghai Great Emperor's thoughts were turning, the red-robed youth beside him suddenly revealed a light smile, and then his entire body suddenly radiated intense red flames, seemingly wanting to ignite this Imperial Palace.

"His Majesty allows me twelve cities of incense fire, along with Princess Yunji. That's because I have the qualifications; I am worth it!"

He turned directly to face the purple-robed youth, his eyes seeming to burst into golden flames: "What kind of thing are you? You are also worthy of using me to bargain?"

The purple-robed youth's expression changed suddenly. These words were already quite ugly, making him feel resentful and powerless in his heart. His expression also turned completely gloomy, and at the same time, shock was revealed in his eyes.

Twelve cities of incense fire?

He originally thought they were all the same as him, allowed five cities of incense fire!

"Your Majesty, is he twelve cities of incense fire?"

Beside him, the beautiful woman in cloud clothes revealed shock in her eyes, and then her eyebrows furrowed, asking the Canghai Great Emperor.

The Canghai Great Emperor knew that such things couldn't be hidden, after all, incense fire offerings are real, and a slight investigation would reveal it. He nodded slightly:

"Not bad, contributor Chi Guang has opened up the Five Peak Realms and has excellent fire-type supernatural powers, so he has twelve cities of incense fire."

"Five Peak Realms?"

Hearing the Canghai Great Emperor's words, the purple-robed youth and the cloud-clothed woman's eyes narrowed. Those who can master the Five Peak Realms are at least at the level of Holy Land Holy Sons.

"Can one get twelve cities of incense fire just by this? Then I have asked for too little!"

The purple-robed youth revealed dissatisfaction and a trace of annoyance in his eyes.

He was actually at five cities, less than half of the other party's.

"For someone like you, five cities is already enough. If you ask me, this five cities is not as good as giving it to me."

Chi Guang's eyes were cold and disdainful, not looking at the other party at all.

The purple-robed youth suddenly erupted with an aura that reached the sky. In an instant, his hair turned golden yellow, his divine power peak realm was released, and at the same time, he contained killing intent in his eyes, saying:

"Then try it. If I defeat you, your twelve cities of incense fire will belong to me, and as for Princess Yunji, don't marry her either. Go marry a wild dog!"

Li Hao was also somewhat surprised. He thought they were all ten cities of incense fire, but didn't expect there to be a gap between each other.

But thinking about it, it seems reasonable. After all, it's impossible for everyone to be at the same level.

However, if calculated this way, he only took ten cities of incense fire, which seems a bit of a loss. His ability to bargain is not enough.

At this moment, seeing the two of them about to take action, Li Hao looked toward the Canghai Great Emperor, but saw that the other party didn't stop them. Clearly, if this matter were stopped, the spearhead would shift to him, and it would be more appropriate for martial artists to use martial artists' ways to choose.

Li Hao didn't say much, just slowly retreated to the side.

The cloud-clothed woman noticed Li Hao's movement, raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at him, and then silently retreated to the side.

Whether it's five cities or twelve cities, she also wanted to see if the two people who were higher and lower than her were worth it.

"Looking for death!"

Seeing the other party insult him, Chi Guang's divine flames suddenly erupted, and he suddenly flickered and disappeared via returning to ruins.

The purple-robed youth also teleported at the same time, also mastering the Returning to Ruins Peak Realm. With a bang, suddenly, the void vibrated, and flames spread all around, wanting to ignite this Imperial Palace.

But the Canghai Great Emperor raised his hand slightly, and a magic array condensed and shrouded the surroundings, isolating the flames, not even infecting the temperature.

"Purple Extreme Heaven Micro!!"

The purple-robed youth roared suddenly, his entire body radiating a large amount of purple Qi, and behind him, an ancient Great Emperor figure faintly appeared.

That figure was blurry, but just the outline revealed the spirit of holding up heaven and earth, carrying a shocking sense of pressure.

Then he suddenly took action, and together with the blurry outline behind him, he reflected a palm, wanting to suppress Chi Guang with one palm.

Chi Guang glanced up, revealing sarcasm, and then his entire body suddenly turned into golden fire, seemingly able to burn everything. The purple-robed youth's clothes and treasures were also ignited, and his hair was burned.

Golden patterns appeared on Chi Guang's forehead, and he said softly: "Flame Extreme Supernatural Power, Supreme Heart Flame!"

As his words fell, the laws condensed, and surging firelight soared into the sky. At the same time, a great fire also ignited on the purple-robed youth's body, and the whole person let out a scream.

This scene made Li Hao and the cloud-clothed woman have solemn eyes. The cloud-clothed woman had a trace of shock at the bottom of her eyes. She hadn't taken it seriously when the Canghai Great Emperor said the other party's supernatural powers were excellent, but she didn't expect it to be so strong!

This is a top-notch supernatural power, and it has been cultivated to an extremely top-notch degree. Just this supernatural power alone is difficult to guard against.

Li Hao looked at the purple-robed youth being roasted by golden flames. This fire came from the opponent's heart, which is to provoke heart fire, which can be said to be extremely difficult to guard against.

Supernatural power is the killing move mastered by the Dao Law Realm. This supernatural power of the opponent has already touched a trace of the rhyme of entering the Dao, and compared to that Holy Son Haoyue, it is not inferior.

As the whole body was burned by flames, the purple-robed youth hurriedly teleported via returning to ruins, but the flames accompanied him, and he couldn't extinguish them.

He let out a roar of pain, his whole body shrouded in purple light, and the towering figure behind him held him. Purple light erupted, and after a long time, the firelight was extinguished.

During this process, Chi Guang didn't take action again, just gazing coldly.

And after the flames were extinguished, the purple-robed youth's whole body was charred, and his battle body was full of cracks, which could be said to be miserable.

His expression became incomparably ugly. Thinking that there was a woman beside him, he hurriedly took out a set of dharma clothes from the heaven and earth space and put them on. His whole body was full of cracks from burns, but compared to the pain of his body, the humiliation in his heart made him even more uncomfortable and angry.

"If it weren't for the sake of being contributors in the same dynasty, killing you would be like killing a chicken!"

Chi Guang's eyes were cold, and his words didn't give any face at all.

The purple-robed youth's expression was gloomy, and he didn't say anything more. Although these words were ugly and made him feel resentful, he knew that saying more would only be asking for humiliation.

The Canghai Great Emperor raised his hand, released a supernatural power, turned into hazy green light, shrouded the purple-robed youth, and soon made his body accelerate healing, and the injuries on his body subsided.

"The two of you will represent my Canghai Divine Dynasty to fight, so don't hurt the harmony. The incense fire promised to the four of you is only temporary, not unchanging. The stronger the performance of everyone in the Supreme Genius Battle, the more incense fire there will be."

The Canghai Great Emperor said with a smile:

"If you can fight on behalf of my Canglan Realm, everyone will be famous in the Thirty-Three Realms, and the incense fire will naturally be more. I will also give ten more cities of incense fire."

Hearing his words, Chi Guang's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "Defeating the Holy Sons of the three major Holy Lands and competing for one of the ten quotas is as difficult as ascending to heaven for some people, but for me, what should be worried is them."

Hearing his confident words, if it were earlier, the purple-robed youth would definitely sneer, but at this moment, he was silent. Although the clash was short, he had already felt the gap between each other.

He possesses a trace of ancient Emperor blood and was originally a young genius, who stood out from his own sect and family, but in this genius battle where dozens of dynasties gathered, he was only an outstanding one, but couldn't be called top-notch.

The cloud-clothed woman glanced at Chi Guang and didn't speak again. She also didn't have the confidence to take that fire-type supernatural power.

Li Hao glanced at this Canghai Great Emperor and didn't say anything.

The other party gives incense fire according to strength and performance. When he shows enough strength, he thinks he doesn't need to open his mouth, and the other party will take the initiative to increase it for him.

In the world of martial artists, strength is the only right to speak.

This is reflected even more vividly in the Land of All Sages.

"What about him? Is he also five cities?"

The purple-robed youth suddenly looked at Li Hao. He had a feeling in his heart that he seemed to be the one with the least incense fire here.

Doesn't this mean he is the weakest one here?

"He is ten cities of incense fire."

The Canghai Great Emperor smiled: "Contributor Qingfeng's sword technique has entered the Dao, and the peak realm has not yet been reflected. Perhaps this incense fire was given too little, but according to the performance of Contributor Qingfeng later, if he can fight on behalf of my Canglan Realm, I will increase it at my discretion."

"Ten cities?"

Hearing the Canghai Great Emperor's words, the purple-robed youth's expression changed suddenly. It was actually double his.

The cloud-clothed woman's eyes also narrowed, glancing at Li Hao. Sword technique entered the Dao? This is the sword technique at the Half-Saint level. The other party actually mastered it. Even if there is slack in the peak realm, it is extremely terrifying.

Just based on this sword technique, it is enough to make people dread.

Chi Guang raised his eyebrows and also glanced at Li Hao. Technique at the level of entering the Dao, even he doesn't possess it. His fire-type supernatural power can only be considered to have touched a trace of Dao rhyme, and has not yet entered the Dao.

Limiting to within a hundred years old for the Genius Battle, being able to enter the Dao in less than a hundred years, even if it is just focusing on techniques, is also an extremely top-notch monstrous aptitude.

With the clash with Chi Guang just now, the purple-robed youth didn't question Li Hao at this moment. After all, sword technique at the level of entering the Dao is enough to make people convinced.

After everyone had no objections, soon master craftsmen came to measure the figures and draw outlines for the few.

While drawing, Li Hao became interested. He took the pen and ink of the assistant of the chief painter of the dynasty and also drew the few on the side.

Besides drawing the other three, Li Hao mainly drew this Canghai Great Emperor.

After all, he is a Half-Saint existence, and the painting Dao experience brought is not small.

As one painting after another was drawn, according to the experience gained, Li Hao realized that the painting Dao experience brought by the cloud-clothed woman was more than the purple-robed youth, which made him think that the incense fire cities the other party got were also a bit more.

The cloud-clothed woman's painting Dao experience is close to twenty thousand.

And the purple-robed youth is around fifteen thousand.

Chi Guang's painting Dao experience actually has thirty-five thousand, close to twice that of the cloud-clothed woman, which shows that his strength is still hidden.

Now as the painting Dao improves, Li Hao realized that the painting Dao experience seems to be compressed. Originally, drawing the Four Standing Realms had ten thousand experience, but now drawing the Four Standing Realms again, the experience was pitifully small, seemingly only a thousand points.
