Chapter 560: Heavenly Dao Seed, Reincarnation Cultivation (Guaranteed 4K bonus update 11)

~37 min read 7,324 words

The hazy Dao intent will condensed from that power, illusory, yet containing terrifying majesty.

That solemn, ancient, supreme pressure made Li Hao feel a sense of familiarity.

When he savored the root of this power, Li Hao's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and a trace of horror rose in his heart.

This is... Heavenly Dao?!

But it was different from the Heavenly Dao will Li Hao touched when he transformed into an immortal; it was like a miniature, shrunken Heavenly Dao prototype, or rather, a seed!

However, even so, it made Li Hao feel shocked and unbelievable. This was the supreme power of the heavens!

Although this Heavenly Dao seed in his body could not be compared with the external Heavenly Dao, Li Hao could feel that by slightly mobilizing it, it could cause visions and waves, and could easily suppress Three Calamities Sages!

If he encountered a Supreme Sage, Li Hao felt he would have the power to fight!

Old Feng had said that a Supreme Sage was the perfection of the Sage Dao, perceiving the Heavenly Dao and being able to borrow power from the Heavenly Dao!

And now... a Heavenly Dao seed had gestated in his body!

According to Ying Xiaoxiao's statement, he currently belonged to the Small Extreme Realm of the Sage, not the true Sage Extreme Realm!

Only when the three kinds of Sage Dao power were accumulated to the extreme God Realm and fused with each other could one reach the true Sage Extreme Realm!

At that time... what kind of changes would this seed undergo?

Li Hao's eyes bloomed with light, feeling surprised and excited. Could it be that it could gestate the true Heavenly Dao at that time?

If that were really the case, Li Hao simply couldn't imagine what kind of existence that would be.

However, the difficulty of accumulating the three kinds of power to the God Realm was also unimaginably high. The Origin Ancestor cultivated to become a Sage from the ancient times and had accumulated until now, only then reaching the God Realm in incense!

And although the Extreme Dao was easy to cultivate, it also required half of the Sacred Land of the heavens to fall into war and death to be condensed to the God Realm!

It was equivalent to slaughtering half the heavens to condense to the Extreme Dao God Realm!

As for sacrificing the Dao... it was likely the most difficult to accumulate. Ying Xiaoxiao didn't say, but Li Hao had a general idea.

It should be that one had to cultivate many Great Daos to the Sage Dao and sacrifice the Dao before it could be achieved.

You know, just sacrificing the Dao to become a Sage once was an extremely rare thing, let alone accumulating it many times. The difficulty was unimaginable!

Even if Li Hao had a panel to speed up cultivation, looking at it now, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle. This might be an extremely long process.

"That God Race ancestor is about to awaken, and it will inevitably set off a great war in the heavens. Even if I help, the Extreme Dao power the other party can share will likely be extremely limited, unless I take the initiative to plunder and kill..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, but in the end, he cut off this thought.

In the mortal world, there is a saying that one general's success is built on ten thousand bones, and this Extreme Dao God Realm was sacrificing half the heavens for one person to become a god.

Such a high price made Li Hao still unable to harden his heart.

"However, just cultivating the Extreme Dao God Realm is not enough. Sacrificing the Dao and incense are even harder. By the time I comprehend the sacrifice of the Dao to the God Realm, it will likely be a long time, and the natural killing and death of the Extreme Dao power accumulated in the heavens by then will likely be enough to absorb to the God Realm..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered, and he didn't think about the Extreme Dao anymore.

His mind returned to the Heavenly Dao seed in his body. With a thought, an ancient and vast aura seemed to separate this Heavenly Dao seed.

Gathered, it was a Heavenly Dao seed; scattered, it was the three Sage powers coiling.

Li Hao exhaled lightly, the Great Dao condensed around him, and that breath followed his exhalation, reflecting two incarnations beside him.

In these two incarnations, each contained a kind of Sage Dao power.

Sacrificing the Dao, incense, Extreme Dao!

Besides his main body being the sacrifice of the Dao, the two incarnations also had the power of the Sage Realm.

"They... actually also have the Sage Dao Three Calamities shackles!"

Li Hao suddenly felt that there were also Sage Dao shackles in the bodies of these incarnations, and there were three of them!

And in his own body, there were only two, because he had crossed the Human Calamity before.

"Triple-cultivating the Three Sages, I have to go through nine calamities?"

Li Hao was stunned, then slightly relieved. These two Sage Dao powers of incense and Extreme Dao had not yet been baptized and transformed by the calamity.

Li Hao absorbed the incarnations, and the two powers returned to his physical body. The three kinds of power coiled in his body, and the Sage Dao power source was still entangled with the Three Calamities shackles.

Now, Li Hao could convert any kind of Sage Dao power at will, or even display them at the same time.

However, for Li Hao, the strongest means was still to gather the three kinds of power and turn them into a Heavenly Dao seed. Perhaps this could clash with a Supreme Sage!

Li Hao restrained his aura, and the visions around him dissipated. He took a step, walked out of this ten-thousand-foot-deep earth crack, and then left.

At the same time, deep in a certain Small World.

Near the underground magma, a group of figures stood here. The temperature here was extremely high. Even Four Standing Realm powerhouses couldn't stay here for a long time and could only rely on the Dao Domain to barely block this scorching temperature.

And here, magnificent halls and buildings were built.

Many figures lived in the buildings, and divine arrays were shrouded outside the buildings to isolate the scorching temperature.

"Although we are called the God Race, we live in such a cramped place, like cockroaches, earthworms, and vermin underground. Damn it!"

"Stop talking. We have endured for so many years. Endure a little longer. The ancestor is about to return. At that time, our clan will also see the light again, and we must let the heavens know that we are the God Race, not the Demon Race!"

"Staying here before was hopeless, and I got used to it, not feeling much bitterness. But now, I can't restrain myself for a moment. When the ancestor returns, I will definitely be the first to charge and kill at the front!"

"That's right. Let the heavens flow with blood and regret!"

By the fire pool, where some figures gathered, they were all discussing some things in low voices, and the words revealed strong hatred and killing intent.

This was the humiliation suffered through generations of forbearance, which had long been engraved in their bones. And that breath was also held in the heart of every clansman.

In the past, there wasn't such heavy resentment and killing intent, but now that the ancestor was about to awaken, this breath became increasingly difficult to restrain. Some people in the discussion were already imagining how to make the heavens bleed and regret!

Whoosh!

In the void, a figure suddenly appeared, covered in hazy green light, shuttling through the special restrictions here, and appeared quietly.

"Greetings, Goddess."

Someone saw this blue-green clothed woman, was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down respectfully.

Some Half-Sages standing by the magma fire pool, seeing this woman, also bowed down one after another.

Besides awe of the other party's Sage realm, it was also because she was the Goddess, the direct bloodline of that ancestor, containing the purest ancestor power.

"Grandmother, I want to see the ancestor."

Ying Xiaoxiao returned and went straight to the supreme divine hall. Looking at the old woman in a crimson fire robe who was graceful and luxurious sitting above, she immediately restrained her aura, lowered her head, and said submissively.

"Xiaoxiao, you have now become a Sage, so you should put away your playfulness. Don't forget the mission you carry for our clan."

The luxurious old woman's face revealed a trace of love, and she said gently.

Ying Xiaoxiao said in a low voice: "I went to the Ancient Mist World to absorb the Extreme Dao power there, converted many killing resentments, and let them be free from suffering in the Mo River. In addition, I brought back a piece of good news."

"You have a kind heart, but it is a pity that my clan has saved all living beings, yet was labeled as the Demon Race. The Sages are unfair and disregard justice..."

The luxurious old woman slowly revealed a trace of hatred in her eyes, but when she looked at Ying Xiaoxiao, her eyes became soft again, saying:

"What good news is it that needs to alarm the ancestor? Now the ancestor's Sage intent has just awakened and needs to sleep to recover."

"I found a helper, whose strength is comparable to a Three Calamities Sage. When the ancestor leads our clan to take revenge, he can become a help and help us block the Green Lamp Buddha of the Buddhist Sect and that Void Ancestor!"

Ying Xiaoxiao said immediately.

"Oh?"

The luxurious old woman's eyes revealed surprise, saying: "Really? Since that catastrophe, all Sages have avoided my clan, and we dare not approach those Sages rashly to reveal traces. How can you be sure that the Sage is willing to help?"

"Because he also has a grudge against them."

Ying Xiaoxiao said.

The luxurious old woman became interested and said: "Which Sage is it?"

"Grandmother, you will know as soon as you hear it. It is the one who just took first place in the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle recently."

Ying Xiaoxiao looked up at the luxurious old woman and smiled, a trace of brilliance in her eyes.

"Is it him?"

The luxurious old woman obviously had heard of the legend of the Hao Heavenly Venerable. He didn't rely on incense in the Supreme Battle but sacrificed the Dao to become a Sage. Just after becoming a Sage, he defeated the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land, which could be called an eternal masterpiece.

"How did you know him?"

The luxurious old woman looked at her great-granddaughter, seeing the smiling eyes of the other party, and her eyes moved.

"Met in the mortal world, with Mo Shu at the time."

Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes dimmed, the light in her eyes suddenly extinguished, and she said dejectedly.

The luxurious old woman immediately saw her thoughts, her eyes changed, and she sighed in a low voice:

"Your Mo Shu and the others were voluntary. Being able to let the ancestor revive is a supreme glory. You don't have to be sad for him."

Ying Xiaoxiao was silent and didn't answer.

The luxurious old woman continued: "I also intended to send someone to win over that new Sage before. Other Sages either know about that catastrophe or fear the Supreme Sages and don't want to get involved in these things. Some are even willing to be lackeys, wanting to send news of my clan to the Origin Ancestor to sell the Origin Ancestor a favor..."

She said this, but a cold look appeared on her face, saying: "Only these new Sages have courage and still retain the arrogance of Heaven's Prides, without so many sordid thoughts. I didn't expect you to be able to connect with this line. It is indeed good news. Go and tell the ancestor yourself."

Ying Xiaoxiao was praised by her, and a smile appeared on her face again, nodding.

Afterward, she came to the depths of the divine hall.

Here, a huge fire crystal was suspended. In the crystal, a very strong Sage Dao aura floated. Although it was in a restrained state, it was still like an ancient giant, making people feel great pressure.

Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes changed, and she bowed to pay her respects.

"What is it?"

An indifferent intent revealed itself from that Sage Dao aura.

"I have found a Sage helper for the ancestor, who can help the ancestor's grand plan." Ying Xiaoxiao said, stating the fact that Li Hao was willing to help.

After she finished speaking slowly, the Sage Dao aura in the fire crystal flowed slightly, revealing a few traces, containing the destructive killing intent of the Extreme Dao.

"No need to take risks to contact other Sages. I don't need others' help. If the news leaks, it will ruin the big plan."

The voice said, not as happy as Ying Xiaoxiao imagined, but rather with a trace of displeasure.

Ying Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, realizing that the ancestor's worry also made sense, and said quickly: "That person is different from others. Even if he is unwilling to help, he will not leak this news."

"Mm?"

The voice obviously didn't expect Ying Xiaoxiao to refute his words.

After a short pause, the voice became cold and majestic: "Do you believe me, or do you believe an outsider? You carry the mission of the clan. As a Goddess, you are so muddled. Do you want your mistake to cause the whole clan, and even me, to suffer through this Sage catastrophe again?!"

Ying Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she knelt down quickly, saying: "Ancestor, I just want to..."

"You don't need to do extra things. I am about to return. During these days, just be low-key. The more the storm comes, the more you need to be quiet." The voice said coldly.

Hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip and lowered her head.

She knew that the God Race was difficult now, hiding in the Sacred Land of the heavens, every step difficult, so she hoped to get help, which could also alleviate the casualties and sacrifices of the clansmen during the great war.

"I don't know how Qingxue taught you. As a Goddess, you should take the overall situation as the priority!"

Qingxue was the luxurious old woman, and also Ying Xiaoxiao's grandmother.

The voice said, with dissatisfaction, but when the words reached this point, it didn't continue. After a short pause, it said again:

"The person you mentioned, Qingxue told me about him, but that person has too much trouble and is too eye-catching. Before helping me, he might not even be able to cross his own tribulation. By the time I return, he will likely have become food for that Hun Tian."

Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned, her face changed slightly, and she looked up: "Ancestor, what do you mean by this?"

"You don't need to care about these things. During these days, don't show up everywhere again. That Origin Ancestor is cunning and secretive. If he perceives anything, he might even lay out plans in advance. Everything waits until I revive!"

The voice said, and the light on the fire crystal retracted.

Ying Xiaoxiao's face changed, she looked at the ancestor, and finally, she bit her teeth and lowered her head to exit the hall.

Time passed.

There were not many days left until the Sage Dao Discussion Assembly.

Li Hao continued to wander the heavens, while condensing the Heavens Star Pulse, and absorbing laws to condense the Sage Body and Dao Bone.

The Dao Bone had been broken before, but now it was reshaped. Under the 9th stage of Controlling Dao, he pulled many laws and integrated them into his body. Li Hao's physical body also became increasingly terrifying, gradually moving toward the extreme of the Hearing Dao Realm.

Wandering in the red dust, Li Hao's many arts also improved.

And among them, the one that improved the most was the Poetry and Book Dao.

In his spare time, Li Hao chanted the Dao scripture with feeling. Every word and sentence actually gave the Poetry and Book Dao a huge amount of experience, surpassing all the poems Li Hao had copied and chanted before.

Moreover, the bottleneck from the 6th stage to the 7th stage of the Poetry and Book Dao was easily crossed in front of the Dao scripture.

Li Hao could feel that this Dao scripture pointed directly to the root of the Great Dao, and was even telling the Heavenly Dao!

If he could comprehend it thoroughly, his state of mind would be as supreme as the Heavenly Dao, overlooking everything in the mortal world.

Perhaps, the existence who wrote this eternal masterpiece, riding a green ox and leaving, not being stained by the fame and fortune of the mortal world, was because all vanity and happiness, all glory and shame, were meaningless in his eyes.

Not bowing to monarchs, transcending secular order, transcending the disputes of all Sages, his state of mind had already fit the Great Dao, and he was not stained by the dust of the world.

Li Hao pulled up the panel attributes.

Physical Body Dao 10th stage, Controlling Dao 9th stage, Sword Dao 9th stage, Movement Technique 6th stage, Fist Dao 6th stage.

And in terms of arts: Painting Dao 10th stage, Cooking 9th stage, Chess Dao 8th stage, Poetry and Book 8th stage, Music 6th stage, Sculpture 5th stage, Fishing 6th stage.

Remaining Art Points: 12 points.

Poetry and Book experience went from the original 6th stage, under the experience brought by the Dao scripture, crossing the 7th stage threshold and reaching the 8th stage directly!

Li Hao originally intended to start from Music and Fishing, taking the opportunity to break through to the 7th stage, so that his Movement Technique could be improved.

Now that Poetry and Book had soared, Li Hao directly embedded the 7th stage state of mind of Poetry and Book into the Movement Technique Dao.

Afterward, he began to add points.

Soon, the Movement Technique Dao also reached the 8th stage, second only to the Dao-entering level movement technique!

Such a movement technique, compared to many Sages, was only one step away, and even some Sages who were not good at movement techniques were only at the 8th stage level.

With the Eternal Dao Domain and sword techniques, Li Hao felt that he could barely keep up with some Three Calamities Sages.

If he could raise his Movement Technique to the 9th stage, the movement technique would enter the Dao, which would belong to the upper-middle level among Sages.

Specifically how, it depended on the movement technique divine ability mastered.

Muwan World.

In a pavilion on a Sacred Peak of a Sacred Land.

With a slap, a black chess piece fell, blocking the retreat of the white pieces.

Dressed in brocade, Li Hao looked like a dashing young master from a wealthy family, a smile appearing on his face.

"I concede, Night Ancestor."

He wandered in the red dust, strolling in the heavens at will, and also came to meet these acquaintances in the Flower Tour Association.

Since he became a Sage, others didn't take the initiative to call him anymore, seemingly worried about offending him. Li Hao took the initiative to find them to meet and reminisce.

They had traveled thousands of miles to cheer for him before, and Li Hao remembered this friendship in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to really know how to play chess..."

Night Ancestor looked at the chessboard, his face complex, but in the end, he gave a bitter smile.

Previously, that kid Qingjiu also said he liked playing chess, but they played a few games against each other, and it was a mess.

He thought Li Hao was the same, just an interest, especially after learning Li Hao's age was only 28 in the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle, he didn't hold any hope.

After all, being able to cultivate to this level at 28 was already terrifying, let alone having the leisure to play chess. How could it be possible?

As a result, the confident opening was sealed and killed by Li Hao.

"Your chess Dao level is also one of the highest I have seen so far."

Li Hao said with a light smile.

Night Ancestor's chess skill was even slightly higher than Hongyue's.

Night Ancestor smiled bitterly and said: "You are still so young and have cultivated to this level, unlike us old guys. Back then, the Flower Tour Association finding you might have delayed you. If you were given more time, you would definitely become a Supreme Sage in the future!"

Speaking of this, the light in his eyes looking at Li Hao couldn't help but reveal a bit of radiance.

The status of a Supreme Sage was supreme in the heavens, free and unfettered. Unless one sought death or provoked all the Supreme Sages of the heavens, it was very difficult to decline and die, only waiting for the end of one's lifespan, but those days were extremely long.

"Cultivation can be done at any time, but the fun missed can never be found again. Even a Supreme Sage cannot reverse time."

Li Hao smiled.

Night Ancestor was stunned. Looking at the free and easy face of this youth, his eyes flickered. He suddenly fell silent and said in a low voice:

"You seem a bit different from us. You really can let go."

Many members of the Flower Tour Association, although mainly for fun, all had cultivation matters in their hearts, but promotion was hopeless, so they were somewhat negligent. But if they were really given a chance, they would definitely grab it hard.

Night Ancestor was clear about this, but he could feel that the youth in front of him was not like this; he really could let go.

Perhaps, this state of mind was the biggest difference between him and them.

Hearing Night Ancestor's words, Li Hao didn't commit himself. Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, besides comprehending heaven and earth, also required that state of mind of being able to let go.

Supreme Sages of the heavens could never receive it, also because they were bound by their own Sage Dao. Even if they reincarnated to cultivate, they would be wrapped by secularity and continue to walk on that cultivation Great Dao that millions of people were rushing to, going against the current.

In this way, it was equal to stepping on that path, just that the fork they walked was a bit different from the previous life.

And he could have this feeling, besides the panel, it was also because he really didn't have any great ambition, and his nature was to be content with whatever happened.

"In a while, it will be the Discussion Assembly. You should be careful."

Night Ancestor seemed to think of something and said to Li Hao.

Li Hao knew his worry and smiled, saying: "You will also go then, right? We will gather again then."

Night Ancestor saw Li Hao was completely without worry and smiled bitterly: "That Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land will not miss such an opportunity. They will definitely find trouble for you at that assembly."

"No."

Li Hao shook his head, saw Night Ancestor's stunned look, and then smiled: "Before they find me, I will find them first."

Night Ancestor was dumbfounded and smiled bitterly: "But at the Discussion Assembly, what is discussed is the Sage Dao. Although your power exceeds theirs, your Sage Dao foundation is still shallow..."

"We will know the high and low when we discuss it then."

Li Hao smiled and didn't mention this matter anymore.

Night Ancestor saw Li Hao was so confident and didn't try to persuade him anymore.

Afterward, the two played a few more games of chess, and Li Hao left this world.

Before he left, the Nether Sage of this Nether Sacred Land came to see him off and chatted with Li Hao for a few words.

Li Hao was now a Sage, and coming to visit another Sacred Land, the other party had to come out to welcome him.

With this relationship with Night Ancestor, the Nether Sage didn't have any hostility toward Li Hao. They didn't know each other before, but he didn't take the opportunity to get close to Li Hao either.

The Discussion Assembly was imminent, and Li Hao's grievances with the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land were known to all the heavens. Only after Li Hao crossed this tribulation could he be considered to have truly stood firm.

Leaving this world, Li Hao wandered around again.

Finding people to play chess, painting, occasionally hunting, cooking, every time he arrived at a world, Li Hao would go to the place with the best delicacies to taste, and he also gained a lot.

Although he hadn't found anyone who could compare to his culinary skills for the time being, different chefs cooking dishes were like different swordsmen, all having their own styles, which also gave Li Hao many insights.

"Old Feng, we haven't gone fishing for a long time. There is still a month left. Shall we go wild fishing everywhere?"

Li Hao returned to the Stealing Heaven Sacred Land and invited Old Feng.

His Fishing Dao was mastered very early, but his mind was diverted by other things, causing the Fishing Dao to be stuck at the 6th stage. Li Hao intended to take this opportunity to break through to the 7th stage bottleneck.

In this way, his Fist Dao could also be improved to the 7th stage.

Feng Feng Bo Ping learned that Li Hao had been wandering around, meeting old friends and tasting delicacies during this period, and was quite helpless about Li Hao's temperament, but didn't say anything.

In the mortal world, Li Hao was like this, but it didn't prevent Li Hao from still becoming the most outstanding monster.

"Fine, I haven't had such interest for a long time, haha."

Feng Feng Bo Ping agreed with a smile and didn't worry about the Discussion Assembly a month later.

Having seen the movement of Li Hao condensing the Sage Dao before, he felt that even if he discussed the Dao with the Buddhist Sect, Li Hao would not lose; on the contrary, he might win.

"Does Old Feng have a good fishing spot?"

Li Hao asked.

Feng Feng Bo Ping smiled: "Within the heavens, one can fish everywhere. I do know a good place. I will take you there."

Hearing this, Li Hao's mind reflected the figure of the Sword Master, and he said: "Do you mind if there is another fishing friend?"

Feng Feng Bo Ping was surprised, but knowing that Li Hao seemed to know some Half-Sages, he smiled: "Naturally, I don't mind. Since we are fellow travelers, just call them along."

"Then wait for me, I will go ask if he has time."

Li Hao said, left the Stealing Heaven Sacred Land, and came to the Canglan Realm.

Arriving at the Canglan Realm again, Li Hao's eyes flickered, but he didn't go to the Buddhist Sect, but went straight to the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.

Li Hao's arrival alarmed the Master Jian Sheng. His figure flashed, stepped out of the courtyard, and came to the high sky, seeing Li Hao who came to visit.

"Hao Heavenly Venerable?"

The Master Jian Sheng saw Li Hao, his eyes moved, and he seemed to think of something, saying in a low voice: "Are you here to find her?"

"Mm?"

Li Hao was confused. How did he know he was here to find the Sword Master?

"I am here to pay a presumptuous visit to the Sword Master. Is he in?"

Li Hao cupped his hands and said.

Now that he had his status, coming to another Sacred Land, he had to pay a visit first; otherwise, it would be an offense.

The Master Jian Sheng was stunned. He didn't expect Li Hao to be looking for the Sword Master. Thinking of the Sword Master speaking for Li Hao before, and also standing up for Li Hao in the Supreme Heaven's Pride Battle, his eyes flickered, and he thought to himself:

"So many years, Senior Brother, your vision is still poisonous."

Thinking this, his expression was calm, saying: "He is here. However, are you just here to visit him?"

Li Hao heard this and immediately thought of Lin Qingying, saying: "I also want to see other friends. I don't know if it is convenient?"

The Master Jian Sheng thought Li Hao was talking about Bian Ruxue. After all, he knew that Bian Ruxue was Li Hao's fiancée, and the two were far more intimate than "friends."

"If you want to see Xue'er, I am afraid you will be disappointed. She has already reincarnated."

The Master Jian Sheng said, while paying attention to Li Hao's expression. If the other party still had feelings for Bian Ruxue, he could use this relationship to get close to Li Hao.

"Mm?"

Li Hao was stunned and only reacted after a while who he was talking about.

"Oh."

Li Hao nodded, somewhat surprised. The other party would actually reincarnate. With the Master Jian Sheng as a master, it was obviously an active choice to reincarnate.

And the other party didn't cultivate the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth Extreme Realm and couldn't reach the Sage Realm, so reincarnation was also an inevitable path.

Seeing Li Hao's reaction was flat, the Master Jian Sheng's eyes changed slightly, but the change was extremely slight. He said calmly:

"Xue'er's pursuit of the ultimate sword was seen in your hands. Her Dao heart seemed to have a problem. This time, she didn't reincarnate in the Sacred Land of the heavens but chose the mortal world. Therefore, I had no time to take care of her. Only when she appears in the Sacred Land of the heavens again one day will I be able to sense her aura."

Ultimate sword... Li Hao's eyes flickered, thinking of the girl who was looking up at the sunset, full of hope and reverence, telling him about her pursuit.

Thinking of the girl's serious look in front of the campfire outside the wilderness.

He shook his head and smiled slightly. Ultimate sword? In his hands

After all, his Sword Dao had not yet reached the tenth stage; how could he dare claim his sword was already the ultimate sword technique?

"Reincarnated in the human world... I hope she finds peace."

Li Hao said. He held no malice toward that young girl, but he also no longer felt any longing; the little tail who once exchanged letters with him had long since vanished.

The Master Master Jian Sheng was slightly silent, then said: "I heard she is your fiancée, and you have yet to marry. Have you let it go?"

Li Hao glanced at him; it seemed this Master Master Jian Sheng knew quite a lot.

He shook his head and smiled: "That engagement was not what she or I desired. Moreover, that was merely an engagement of this lifetime. Now that she has reincarnated, the next life is a matter for the next life. Furthermore, the one engaged to her was Li Hao; what does that have to do with me, Hao Tian?"

The Master Master Jian Sheng was stunned, sizing up Li Hao, not understanding the meaning behind his final words.

But he understood the preceding words; he suddenly recalled the resolute look in that child's eyes before her reincarnation.

The other party wanted to reincarnate to seek a Dao heart and verify if this life was truly a mistake.

Yet he could clearly see that when the child reincarnated, there was still reluctance in the depths of her eyes, as if she wanted to use reincarnation to grasp onto something.

Unfortunately, after she reincarnated, that final trace of the engagement bond with the other party was also voided.

For a moment, the Master Master Jian Sheng stood silent in place, saying nothing more. After a long while, he said: "She is eager to seek the Dao heart and is, after all, still too young. Even if you are now strangers, I hope you do not blame her."

Li Hao knew he was worried that he harbored resentment, but it was clearly an overthought concern.

Thinking of the young girl's face, he could not help but sigh softly. Time changes, the years play tricks on people; a broken mirror cannot be mended, and the days of childhood can never return.

"Life is like a journey, and I am but a traveler. I only hope that from our first meeting, I have not failed those who cared."

Li Hao said softly.

The Master Master Jian Sheng glanced at Li Hao and knew that Li Hao's heart had already let go. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart; perhaps this was the best outcome for both.

He said: "The Sword Master should also want to see you. Please, go ahead."

Li Hao nodded, bowed to him in farewell, and headed toward the Sword Tower.

"What were you chatting about with the Master Master Jian Sheng for so long?"

Before the Sword Cliff, the Sword Master saw Li Hao arrive. He did not turn around, merely smiling lightly.

Beside him, the two sword attendants wearing copper masks looked at Li Hao in astonishment and hurriedly bowed.

When Li Hao came here before, they had guided him to the Sword Tower to hang his painting. Now, seeing him again after such a short time, the other party was actually sitting on equal footing with their Master, having become a Sage!

Li Hao's deeds had spread throughout the heavens; naturally, they had all heard of this youth's terrifying and monstrous nature.

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, signaling that the two need not be overly formal. He then arrived before the Sword Master, seeing him merely meditating rather than fishing, and said: "Just chatting. Do you have time? Shall we go wild fishing together?"

The Sword Master raised an eyebrow and said testily: "The Sage Discussion Assembly is in a month. Do you not intend to participate? The Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land will definitely use this opportunity to kill you!"

"No matter, I am waiting for them."

Li Hao smiled lightly.

The Sword Master was slightly stunned, looking Li Hao up and down. Although he had seen Li Hao's methods before, the Sage Dao had only just passed the Human Tribulation, and its foundation was still too thin compared to the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land.

"Besides them, they might also invite their old friends to join the fray. You must consider this clearly."

The Sword Master was uneasy about Li Hao, worried he might be careless, and warned him earnestly.

Li Hao smiled and nodded, telling him not to worry.

If the other party sought others to join them in the discussion, Li Hao would actually be pleased; he could take this opportunity to pass the Human Tribulations of the Ultimate Dao and Incense.

As long as the three powers rotated and were not displayed simultaneously, others would not believe he could cultivate all three Sages. They would only think he was using the Yuanzu's restriction method to isolate the Sage Dao, allowing him to display only one at a time, merely rotating them.

But rotating them and displaying them simultaneously were two vastly different things.

Seeing Li Hao so relaxed, the Sword Master said no more. He immediately gave instructions to his two disciples and then asked Li Hao about the place for wild fishing.

Seeing that he was interested, Li Hao smiled and told him to wait a moment. He then spread his perception, sensed Lin Qingying's aura, and instantly teleported over.

Lin Qingying, who was practicing her sword in the courtyard, was startled by Li Hao's sudden appearance. Only after seeing it was Li Hao did she breathe a sigh of relief, a trace of pleasant surprise appearing in her eyes.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Qingying said, her eyes revealing a bit of excitement, but her nature was always cold and aloof; although happy, she still appeared quite quiet and gentle.

Li Hao smiled: "Just to see you. Has your Master been released?"

The smile on Lin Qingying's face grew brighter: "She has already been released."

At this moment, an aura rapidly teleported over from not far away. It was a beautiful woman in a moon-white robe, looking mature and gentle. She said to Li Hao:

"This must be the Venerable Hao Tian. Yun Yue pays her respects to Venerable Hao Tian."

She was a Half-Sage; although she was Li Hao's elder in age, in the martial arts world, one is respected by their cultivation base.

"No need for such formalities."

Li Hao greeted her with a smile, then said to Lin Qingying: "Do you have time? Want to watch me fish? I'll take you out to have some fun."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingying said without hesitation: "I have time."

Yun Yue slightly opened her mouth on the side but said nothing, merely smiling without a word.

Seeing Lin Qingying agree, Li Hao smiled. He then found Lin Shanhai, greeted the old man, and left with Lin Qingying.

The Sword Master saw Lin Qingying and nodded at her.

Lin Qingying hurriedly bowed, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Where to?"

The Sword Master asked.

"Just follow me."

Li Hao said, keeping the suspense.

He then released his Sage Dao power, enveloped Lin Qingying, took her across the cracks in the heavens, and returned to the Heaven-Stealing Sacred Land.

The Sword Master followed all the way to the Small Thousand World. His expression was normal, and having no concerns, he followed Li Hao into the Heaven-Stealing Sacred Land.

Feng Feng Bo Ping saw the Sword Master brought back by Li Hao and could not help but be stunned. He then recalled the Supreme Prodigy Battle, where the other party had spoken up for Li Hao, and smiled and nodded at him.

"The Sage of Lies is here too?"

Li Hao saw the Sage of Lies beside Old Feng and could not help but be somewhat surprised.

The Sage of Lies rolled her eyes at Li Hao and said: "I heard you are going wild fishing for fun. It just so happens I have nothing to do. Speaking of fishing, you found the wrong person in this guy; you should have looked for me. In all the heavens, no one dares claim to be the first in fishing technique if I am second!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Feng Bo Ping and said: "Come to think of it, I'm the one who taught him this."

Upon hearing this, Feng Feng Bo Ping's face turned dark, and he said testily: "Say less. Even if you say that, someone has to believe it."

The Sage of Lies hummed lightly: "Wait and see, I'll let the facts speak for themselves!"

Li Hao was stunned, then thought of the Sage of Lies' methods; if applied to fishing, it would indeed be quite fitting.

Her words were likely not an exaggeration.

He could not help but smile and said: "The more the merrier. Old Feng, shall we set off?"

"Easy enough. Is this young girl coming too? You really have quite a few beauties around you, kid."

Feng Feng Bo Ping looked at Lin Qingying and teased Li Hao.

Lin Qingying's cheeks flushed slightly. She could feel that Li Hao was protecting her with his Sage Dao aura at all times, so she did not feel much Sage pressure beside the several Sages.

At this moment, she also saw that these Sages, whom she had revered in the past, actually had another side just like ordinary people.

Feng Feng Bo Ping said no more and immediately led the way in front.

Li Hao also released Xi Yan. She found everything fresh. He let Hong Yue stay in the Sacred Land; if she followed, she would only suffer, and she had no interest in fishing. To a layman, fishing is an extremely boring and uncomfortable thing.

"The place we are going is the Tianhe of the Qu River Realm. That is an excellent fishing spot."

Feng Feng Bo Ping said.

Upon hearing this, the Sword Master's eyes moved, and he nodded: "Indeed, it is quite good. I have cast a few lines there before."

"Shall we have a competition to see who catches the most?"

The Sage of Lies said with interest.

Feng Feng Bo Ping coughed lightly and did not take the bait.

As the group broke through the air, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month passed.

Pairs of eyes secretly probed the tracks of Li Hao and the others, and Li Hao did not deliberately hide them. News of his whereabouts soon reached the eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Upon learning that Li Hao was traveling everywhere and had even invited the Sword Master and the Heaven-Stealing Sage to fish at the Tianhe, the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land fell silent.

The Discussion Assembly was imminent, yet Li Hao was wandering around, seemingly indifferent. It clearly looked like... he did not intend to participate!

"That guy must have sensed the crisis. If he doesn't come and misses this opportunity, it will be very difficult to kill him in the future!"

In the secret hall of the Buddhist Sect, the Green Lamp Buddha and the Buddha Venerable were both frowning deeply.

This concerned the future of the Buddhist Sect; with such a potential enemy, they could not eliminate him quickly, and they could not even find peace in their cultivation.

"I have observed that weapon of his before; it is a fragment of a Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon. He must be lacking Heavenly Treasures to feed that weapon. Going to the Tianhe to fish is likely aimed at the Divine Water Dao Fish in the Tianhe. Those are creatures nurtured by heaven and earth and can also feed a Dao Tribulation Emperor Weapon."

The Buddha Venerable said in a low voice: "Since he has sensed our intentions and is unwilling to come, we can only use another method. Invite those old friends and give them the Heavenly Treasures to use as rewards for the discussion!"

The Green Lamp Buddha was silent for a moment before saying: "The Yuanzu will preach; he might not miss such a grand event. When he sought the Yuanzu before, outsiders only thought he was asking for the cultivation method of the Three Sages, but it is possible that in that conversation, he sought the protection of the Yuanzu. He is only waiting for the final preaching of the Yuanzu to come, so he can just listen without discussing."

"In that case, we must provoke him even more. Five Heavenly Treasures should be enough to tempt anyone, right?"

The Buddha Venerable took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The Green Lamp Buddha glanced at him and said: "Notify the Void Sacred Land and see what they intend to do."

The Buddha Venerable nodded.

As time passed, changes occurred within every Sacred Land in the heavens. Many Sages gave instructions and left their respective Sacred Lands.

Many Half-Sages within the Sacred Lands also arranged their affairs in advance, and the many disciples within the Sacred Lands all knew that the grand event of the Land of Sages was about to arrive.
