Chapter 492: Eternal Dao Domain, The Battle for Supremacy Begins

Feeling this vast power that could be used as one wished, Li Hao felt shocked. Is this the Eighth Extreme Realm? 360 layers of Dao domain, reaching a certain sense of perfect limit, contrasting with heaven and earth, forming a perfect circle!

The laws within the Dao domain were intertwined, and visions appeared one after another. Strangely, when at 359 layers of Dao domain, Li Hao still needed to mobilize great power to display them all. After all, displaying the Dao domain consumed extreme energy, not to mention the superposition of 359 layers. Even if Li Hao connected to the Heaven and Earth Veins, he could only maintain it for a few minutes.

But at this moment, with the 360 Dao domains formed, this Dao domain seemed to imitate heaven and earth, operating on its own. Li Hao only needed a small amount of energy as traction to maintain it for a long time!

According to this consumption, even if Li Hao covered himself with the Dao domain all the time, it could exist for a long time.

Li Hao's eyes flickered. Besides the sharp drop in energy consumption, the transformation of the Dao domain itself was the most terrifying. Now, if all his Extreme Realms were revealed, I don't know if he could compare with a Half-Sage.

This Eighth Extreme Realm, Li Hao called it the Eternal Dao Domain!

Unbreakable, undefeated, undying!

With the Eighth Extreme Realm cultivated, Li Hao didn't stop, but converged the Dao domain, and then practiced the remaining cultivation techniques of the tenth divine dynasty again.

But as he practiced, when these cultivation techniques were deduced to the stage of Dao domain, the formed Dao domain was squeezed and could not be integrated into the Eternal Dao Domain, nor could it be displayed.

The Eternal Dao Domain seemed like a main wife, circling around Li Hao. As soon as the new Dao domain was cultivated, it was squeezed away by the momentum of the Eternal Dao Domain and could not condense.

Li Hao was stunned. With previous experience, he knew that the Extreme Realm was not the end.

The Eighth Extreme Realm should also be like this. The present should be the bottleneck of the Eighth Extreme Realm.

How to break this bottleneck obstacle and continue cultivation is the difficult problem leading to the final realm.

But cultivating to the Extreme Realm is hard, and breaking the Extreme Realm is even harder! Li Hao tried a few more times, all failed, and could only give up for the time being.

"Eight Extreme Realms, influencing each other. Without Heaven and Earth Veins, it is impossible to cultivate the Eighth Extreme Realm. Just the process of superimposing more than 300 layers of Dao domain would exhaust all power. Therefore, cultivating Heaven and Earth Veins is the foundation of other Extreme Realms!"

"Perhaps the Eighth Extreme Realm needs to cultivate other final realms first, which will be easier."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. Now the Tongli final realm has been completed, and the second Extreme Realm is the Heaven and Earth Veins.

If the Heaven and Earth Veins are further improved, perhaps it will be of great help to the cultivation of later final realms.

But the Heaven and Earth Veins have reached the limit.

All 108 major veins are opened, plus the yin and yang double veins, forming a whole, connecting veins with heaven and earth, which is already the limit of the Zhou Tian Realm!

To improve one step further and break this bottleneck, Li Hao had no thoughts.

Thinking about it, Li Hao felt like asking Zhan Tan. The other party was knowledgeable and might be able to provide some clues.

Li Hao got up, converged his aura, and came to Zhan Tan's courtyard.

Now Li Hao had Zhan Tan's permission and could enter and exit her courtyard at will without prior notification. Even Zhan Tan's few personal disciples couldn't do this.

In the courtyard, Zhan Tan was painting. Li Hao saw her drawing a small flower and smiled slightly. Although the small flower she painted was very ordinary, the flower under her brush was unusual, with a tenacity that wind and rain could not erase. That was a non-ordinary will that could break through the dark soil.

Li Hao knew that her painting Dao had improved.

Sensing Li Hao's arrival, Zhan Tan also happened to finish the brush. She turned to look at Li Hao and smiled gracefully, saying: "How is this painting of mine?"

"Very good."

Li Hao didn't spare praise.

The smile on Zhan Tan's face increased a bit, and the sunshine in the courtyard seemed to become bright. She suddenly stared, sized up Li Hao carefully, and asked in confusion:

"Has your cultivation improved?"

Although she didn't carefully investigate Li Hao's aura, she felt that Li Hao seemed more terrifying than before. That was a very subtle and intuitive feeling.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. He had the illustration attributes like Wanxiang to cover his aura, but the other party could still perceive it. She was sharp enough.

"You could say that."

Li Hao asked Zhan Tan: "I want to ask, after cultivating to the Extreme Realm, do you know how to improve?"

"Break the Extreme Realm?"

Zhan Tan was surprised, but then relieved, and laughed: "It's normal for you to have this idea. Exploring the power after the Extreme Realm is something all Sages have been working hard on since ancient times. When we first cultivated the Extreme Realm, we were also curious about whether the Extreme Realm could be broken and whether we could continue to cultivate further. But after various attempts, we found that the Extreme Realm is almost impossible to break."

"However, the Extreme Realm is not the end. In ancient times, there was a Sage who broke the Extreme Realm, proving that one can cultivate further after the Extreme Realm. But breaking the Extreme Realm is as difficult as reaching the sky, and even Sages find it very difficult to do."

Li Hao was slightly stunned and asked hurriedly: "Which Extreme Realm did that Sage break?"

"It seems to be the Fifteen-Li Extreme Realm."

Zhan Tan said: "That was a very long time ago. The traces of that Sage have also disappeared and hidden, and his whereabouts are unknown. He only left a white note for his disciples, saying not to cultivate the Fifteen-Li final realm, as it is a taboo!"

"Hmm?"

Li Hao was puzzled. The one he broke was the Fifteen-Li Extreme Realm?

Li Hao knew that the God Race was a race propagated by practitioners of the Tongli final realm.

Fifteen-Li final realm is a taboo. Where does this come from?

"These are all rumors, and it is hard to tell whether they are true or false. It is too long ago."

Zhan Tan looked at Li Hao, with a light smile on her lips, and said: "This idea of yours is very similar to ours back then. When Night Ancestor and Green Ancestor were in the period of young heaven-gifted talents, they also had aspirations to reach the sky, wanting to cultivate to be the first in all ages. But in the end, they lost to reality and realized that heaven and earth are vast and there are countless monsters, and they are just one of them."

As a vice-president of the Flower Wandering Society, her mentality was somewhat sighing and pessimistic. The pride of her youth had been worn away.

Li Hao nodded slightly. Rumors would indeed be exaggerated, but he didn't expect that even Zhan Tan knew very little about the final realm.

Previously cultivating the Tongli final realm was not too laborious for Li Hao, but the limit of Heaven and Earth Veins didn't seem to be broken by the accumulation of cultivation techniques. It needed some opportunity, or like the Sixth Extreme Realm turning into an immortal, it needed some state of mind and some sudden enlightenment.

Li Hao was somewhat troubled and asked Zhan Tan: "That Sage you mentioned, did he only break the Fifteen-Li Extreme Realm? What about other Extreme Realms?"

Zhan Tan shook her head and said: "Breaking the Extreme Realm depends on opportunity. Some opportunities happen to help you break a certain Extreme Realm. After all, the bottlenecks faced by each Extreme Realm are different."

"Moreover, just cultivating to the Extreme Realm is extremely difficult, let alone breaking it. If you have this mind, you can try to cultivate other Extreme Realms first, so as not to ponder these and take detours."

She advised Li Hao with the experience of a person who had come before. Pondering these now is purely a waste of time.

Although this is a process that most heaven-gifted talents will experience, after all, when cultivating to the Extreme Realm, it is inevitable that heaven-gifted talents will have pride and want to break the Extreme Realm. But in the end, they worked hard for a hundred years, or even longer, but found that it was just useless work and could not comprehend or break it at all.

And this time was wasted in vain, leading to slow cultivation progress.

Seeing her say this, Li Hao knew that no more information could be asked. The final realm is indeed too secret. Practitioners of the Tongli final realm are treated as the God Race, so one can imagine how secret other final realms are and how difficult they are to cultivate! It's just that he is already at the Eighth Extreme Realm now. If he cultivates the Extreme Realm again, it will be the Hearing Dao Realm.

But this requires the improvement of Dao-Governing.

And the Supreme Battle is imminent, Li Hao must improve to power comparable to the Sage Realm as soon as possible.

The gap between the Sage Realm and other realms is also extremely terrifying. Comparing the 370,000 painting Dao experience points of the Sword Master, one can see that this gap is not a little bit! A gap of 10,000 or 20,000 experience points will have obvious suppression in battle, not to mention a gap of seven or eight times the experience points.

"With my current self, although I am at the Eighth Extreme Realm, facing a Sage, I am afraid I only have the fate of fleeing."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. Although the Eternal Dao Domain is very strong, he dare not guarantee whether those Sage monsters have also cultivated this Extreme Realm.

After all, Sages start at least at the Fifth Extreme Realm.

By comparison, the Extreme Realms they differ in are not many, and the other party is a Sage Realm cultivation, participating in the creation of work, and the Sage Dao has been completed. If the Sage Dao is not broken, it is impossible to kill them.

And he is still unable to break the Dao of the Sage.

"Put the Hearing Dao Extreme Realm aside for now, become a Sage first!"

Li Hao quickly made arrangements in his heart. Compared to the power improvement brought by the Hearing Dao Extreme Realm, becoming a Sage will inevitably be stronger.

The gap between the Sage Realm and other realms, just the gap in realm, is boundless.

And right now, the path of incense becoming a Sage is too slow, and the most hopeful one is to sacrifice the Dao to become a Sage! While Li Hao was thinking, Zhan Tan looked at Li Hao, not knowing whether her persuasion had worked. Sometimes, if you don't hit your head and bleed, it's hard to listen to others. People teach people, but they don't learn; things teach people once, and they succeed.

She didn't think much more. Some experiences are inevitable. Skipping is certainly comprehensive and flawless, but isn't it another kind of regret?

"You said before that you wanted to see the scriptures of sages of the Wen Ancestor Holy Land. Do you want to go see them now?"

Zhan Tan asked with a smile.

Li Hao came back to his senses and nodded immediately.

Zhan Tan immediately put away this satisfied painting, then let Yueying put away the drawing board and brush and ink, and after she returned, she took Li Hao and soared out of Tiantan Peak.

"Look, it's that Qingfeng beside the master again."

Seeing the two leave, several disciples on Tiantan Peak had complex eyes.

Zhao Qingshu saw this, and his face sank.

Zhan Tan is the brightest scenery of Tiantan Peak. Although these disciples didn't dare to have thoughts of rebelling against their master, seeing that peerless beauty every day, it was inevitable that there would be palpitations in their hearts, but they were deeply buried in the bottom of their hearts and didn't dare to express them.

At this moment, seeing her and Li Hao together for these few days, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, with a feeling of inexplicable discomfort.

He simply didn't come to look for his master again, but went into seclusion himself.

Wenxin Pavilion is the place where the Wen Ancestor Holy Land collects the scriptures of sages. The Wen Ancestor Holy Land accepts disciples and teaches the cultivation system of Wen Sage, extracting the power from the scriptures of sages. If you just read the scriptures of sages without the corresponding cultivation system, it is just boring reading.

Therefore, Zhan Tan brought Li Hao here, and the impact was not big. Many scriptures of sages in this Wenxin Pavilion were collected from the Imperial Academies of various dynasties. The Wen Ancestor Holy Land has the highest status among the scholars of the Thirty-Three Realms, and even the Supreme Sages cannot compare. After all, Wen Sage is equivalent to the supreme Sage in the hearts of scholars.

And the incense faith of Wen Sage also comes from the scholars and ink guests of the heavens.

Wenxin Pavilion towers, emitting elegant misty rays of light. Just approaching here, Li Hao had a feeling of warm heart, as if all distracting thoughts were wiped away, and his heart was peaceful.

Zhan Tan came to the front of Wenxin Pavilion, greeted the guard, and said to Li Hao: "I will wait for you outside, you go in and see."

She said it casually, but Li Hao was grateful in his heart, nodded to her, didn't say much, and turned into the Wenxin Pavilion.

I saw that in the pavilion, the bookshelves were full of ancient books.

Li Hao's divine sense swept over, and soon found that these were just ordinary books.

If matched with the cultivation system of the Wen Ancestor Holy Land, they could exert terrifying effects.

In other words, the real cultivation techniques of the Wen Ancestor Holy Land were not here. This place is equivalent to an "Armory".

Li Hao's divine sense swept over, quickly recording these books, and actually saw three famous works that could be recorded.

Li Hao was somewhat moved. After recording all the scriptures of sages in the Wenxin Pavilion in his Primordial Spirit, he took these three famous works and walked out.

At this time, half a day had passed outside, and Zhan Tan was still waiting outside the pavilion. Her position and posture were no different from before Li Hao went in.

After seeing Li Hao walk out, Zhan Tan's gaze fell on the three famous works in his hand, and she couldn't help but laugh, saying: "You have a good eye."

"If I want to take these three famous works for collection, what should I pay?"

Li Hao asked. Once these three famous works were recorded in the panel, they would burn and disappear, which would be a pity.

"You really intend to research these? You don't have the cultivation method of Wen Sage, it's useless to take them. Could it be that you are just looking at them?" Zhan Tan said.

"Hmm, they say there is a golden house in the book, I want to pan for gold."

Li Hao said.

Zhan Tan smiled: "There is also the second half of the sentence, there is a beauty like jade in the book."

"I have already seen the beauty like jade, but I haven't seen the golden house much." Li Hao said.

Zhan Tan was stunned, seeing Li Hao's gaze looking at her, and with these words, her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, but she quickly calmed down and said:

"If you join the Wen Ancestor Holy Land, these three famous works can be given to you directly."

Li Hao sighed and shook his head: "I carry hatred, I can't add trouble to the Wen Ancestor Holy Land."

Zhan Tan was stunned and asked: "Have enemies, who is it?"

Li Hao didn't say. His hatred with the Void Sage concerned a Sage, and he didn't want to involve others.

Zhan Tan's eyes narrowed, and she immediately realized that Li Hao's enemy was not simple. Otherwise, with Li Hao's realm, if it were just a Half-Sage enemy, there was no need to worry about involving the Wen Ancestor Holy Land.

After all, if Li Hao was given another sixty years, he would probably be comparable to a Half-Sage, let alone involving.

If it's not a Half-Sage, then it can only be...

Zhan Tan looked at Li Hao deeply. She didn't expect this person who was relaxed and playing all day to have such an enemy. If someone else provoked such an enemy, they would probably be panicked all day and unable to sleep at night. But before Li Hao said it, she didn't see Li Hao's state of mind disordered at all.

"If you need it, the Flower Wandering Society can help you." Zhan Tan said.

Li Hao looked at her, knowing her intention, and shook his head slightly: "I will solve this matter myself."

Zhan Tan heard this, knowing that Li Hao didn't want to involve trouble to others. This made her sigh in her heart and appreciate Li Hao even more.

After all, if Li Hao didn't say it, and joined the Wen Ancestor Holy Land under her invitation, and something happened in the future, Wen Sage would have to come forward to help.

But Li Hao didn't do so and didn't use it.

I don't know if this is stupid or too true.

There is a lot of fame and fortune in the world, but true feelings are hard to find. Zhan Tan sighed in her heart, thinking of herself leaving the whirlpool of power and incense struggle from the imperial daughter of a supreme divine dynasty in the upper three realms since she was a child. Since she was a child, she had seen the dangers of the world, and her mother died because of this. She had seen the warmth and coldness of human feelings, but she didn't expect to meet someone like Li Hao here.

"Since this is the case, if you can't join the Wen Ancestor Holy Land, you can pick one of these three famous works to take away, and I will solve the rest."

Zhan Tan said to Li Hao.

Li Hao looked at her, knowing that this was another favor.

He thought about it, picked one of the three, "Ren Huang Ji".

Afterward, he handed the remaining two to the guard to return.

Zhan Tan looked at it and nodded slightly, saying nothing.

Li Hao received Ren Huang Ji into the Heaven and Earth space, and then asked: "Are there many copied scriptures of sages in the Wenxin Pavilion?"

Zhan Tan was stunned and smiled: "You can actually see the difference between the original and the copied version?"

Unless you have done extreme research on certain scriptures of sages, it is difficult to see.

Li Hao didn't see it, but inferred it. After all, the Wenxin Pavilion collects scriptures of sages from the heavens, but only found three famous works that could be recorded, which is very unreasonable.

Zhan Tan said: "Some originals are lost, just copies. Some originals are in the Imperial Academy of the Imperial Dynasty and are unwilling to give them away. After all, some scholars have deep obsessions with these. Unless hard means are used, even Sages are not enough to shake their faith."

"There are also some originals that are too precious and are kept in the hands of Wen Sage to avoid damage when disciples come here to borrow them."

Li Hao suddenly realized, that is to say, these three famous works were all looked down upon by that Wen Sage, so they were thrown here, and the rest of the famous works were collected by him.

Only originals can be recorded

The collection of the Benevolent Emperor's Anthology also transformed into an illustrated attribute: Benevolent One is Invincible: When the Benevolent One is Invincible state is activated, all damage received can be reflected back equally.

Li Hao was stunned; some of these illustrated attributes were strong while others were average, but this Benevolent One is Invincible attribute was undoubtedly extremely overbearing.

This was equivalent to trading injury for injury with the enemy, a desperate fighting style.

If given to someone else, the effect would be mediocre, after all, martial artists must try their best to ensure they are not injured during combat, just like wild beasts in the forest; killing the enemy while injured would also damage oneself, and if hidden ailments were left behind, it would also hinder the path of martial arts.

But Li Hao had Blood-Drop Rebirth, and what he feared least was being injured.

"However, I don't know how much effect it will have when facing a clash of Sages."

Li Hao's eyes flickered; facing the Dao Law Realm, he didn't need to use this attribute yet, but it was hard to say how much effect it would have in a clash of Sages.

Regardless, it was still a slight strengthening of himself.

Li Hao's thoughts turned to the remaining Sage books, and he began to recite them in the small courtyard.

As these Sage books were recited clearly from his mouth, his experience in poetry and books was actually growing rapidly.

Although the experience brought by each Sage book was not much, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, and some were even just a few dozen points.

But there were too many Sage books in the Literary Heart Pavilion; as Li Hao recited them one by one, his Poetry and Book Dao rose rapidly from the fourth stage to the fifth stage.

Two more days passed, and it rose to the sixth stage, and the experience bar was full.

Successively gaining two skill points put Li Hao in a great mood.

Outside the courtyard, when Zhan Tan was painting in her leisure time, she heard the recitations coming from the small courtyard and knew that Li Hao had really memorized all the Sage books. She couldn't help but be dumbfounded, not expecting that Li Hao was actually truly fond of this path.

She couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake her head; compared to members of the Flower Tour Society like them who found joy in bitterness, Li Hao seemed more like he was truly playing in the human world.

Time flew by.

Li Hao stayed on Heavenly Sandalwood Peak. After his poetry and book experience accumulated to the sixth stage perfection, he had to comprehend the Spirit-Entering state of mind to continue improving, but comprehension required effort, so Li Hao could only temporarily shelve poetry and books, and instead take the Cooking Dao and Painting Dao as his primary targets for impact.

Whether it was cooking or painting, as long as he improved to the tenth stage, he could sacrifice the Dao to become a Sage, and only then could he truly live with his head held high and reveal his true identity.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Hao spent his days discussing Painting Dao with Zhan Tan, painting together and exchanging ideas. His own insights were also accumulating. Although there was a gap in their Painting Dao realms, the collision of thoughts during their exchanges would also inspire new insights in Li Hao, as well as a deeper understanding of Painting Dao.

Now, his Painting Dao experience had accumulated to 920,000, and with another 4.08 million, he would be able to reach the ninth stage perfection.

With quite a bit of experience remaining, he could only find opportunities to accumulate it through this Heaven's Pride Battle.

And compared to experience, breaking through Painting Dao to transcend and become a Sage was even harder.

During these three months, Li Qingyi also came to Heavenly Sandalwood Peak to visit Zhao Qingshu. When she saw Li Hao was also here, she couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, Li Qingyi had already shed the disguise she wore when participating in the Sacrifice Dao Mountain battle, revealing her original beautiful and refined appearance, with fair cheeks, apricot eyes, and peach-blossom cheeks, and there was still a trace of girlish innocence in her eyes.

After inquiring, Li Qingyi learned that Li Hao had come here to discuss paintings with the Half-Sage Zhan Tan.

Regarding this, Li Qingyi was somewhat dumbfounded.

These three months, her Senior Brother Shuhai, who was also the number one Saint Child of the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land's Heaven's Pride Battle, was in seclusion, yet Li Hao actually ran over to chat about paintings? Li Hao did not recognize Li Qingyi. When the three months were about to end, he bid farewell to Zhan Tan. Next was the quota battle for the Canglan Realm. This battle had been brewing for a long time, and through the reflection of the Boundary Stone, all the dynasties and hundreds of thousands of cities in the entire Canglan Realm would see it.

As the battle approached, one Heaven's Pride after another broke through their seclusion, revealing an invincible and disdainful aura.

"The sword is formed, in this top ten, I will definitely leave my name!"

"Senior Brother Shuhai has come out of seclusion!"

"Look quickly, that is Saint Child Haoyue's Haoyue Divine Peak, there are actually two scorching suns on it, is this the Sun-Moon Sword Intent? It feels even more terrifying than before!"

Within the three great sacred lands, the situation changed suddenly, and the visions of one Heaven's Pride after another breaking through seclusion were revealed.

"It's dark, what is that? Heavenly Demon?!"

"That is the Buddha Child subduing the inner demons in his heart. The Buddha Venerable said that the stronger the inner demons, the stronger the Buddha nature, and the Buddha Child's Buddha nature far exceeds ours."

In the Buddhist Sacred Land, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds rolled in, covering everything as if the sky had collapsed.

This vision shocked countless people, and the news spread out.

Within the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, many Saint Children broke through seclusion, and after finishing their cultivation, they quickly sent people to inquire about the news of others.

Saint Child Haoyue came out of seclusion, his aura restrained, gold threads floating in his silver hair, and the gold and silver light in his eyes became even more brilliant.

He immediately sent someone over to inquire about Li Hao's news.

Not long after, the news was sent back.

"What? You saw him go to the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land?"

"That's right, I heard he is also holding an art exhibition and is discussing paintings with a Half-Sage Elder of the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land."

Hearing this news, Saint Child Haoyue was somewhat stunned and almost vomited blood.

This guy was too arrogant, the quota battle was imminent, yet he still had the leisure to go painting at this juncture?

In a fire domain, Chi Guang stepped out from his seclusion. The scorching flames around him surged and converged, all gathering into his body, leaving only charred ground on the surface.

Brilliant crimson patterns appeared in his eyes, appearing to be some kind of natural Dao patterns.

"Twin Buddha Child, let me see what you've got!"

A fighting spirit appeared in Chi Guang's eyes, and he immediately changed into his robes and flew out. When he returned to his own cave dwelling, he asked his master how the others were doing.

When he learned that in the Buddhist Sacred Land, the outer appearance of a Heavenly Demon had appeared, a trace of solemnity also appeared in his eyes, but more of it was surging fighting spirit.

And hearing that in the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land, double sun radiance was shining in the sky, a cold sneer appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he thought of something and asked his master about the Qingfeng he had clashed with before.

When he learned that the other party was holding an art exhibition, he was stunned, and suddenly had the feeling of being angered to laughter.

It seems that his previous defeat made the other party swell up...
