Chapter 564: Half a Dao Scripture Suppresses the Heavens (Base)
"Simply absurd!"
The Huntian Sage scolded angrily: "You have only just become a Sage, yet you are so rampant. Do you really think Sages are immortal? If you want to seek death, I will fulfill your wish myself!"
As he spoke, his whole body exuded immense power. Above the Dao field, the sky seemed to churn like ink, as if pierced by his sharp words.
Beside him, the Law Sage's eyes flickered slightly. He glanced at him but didn't react, rarely not commenting on Li Hao.
Although he didn't like Li Hao, and Li Hao's move was arrogant, it didn't violate the discipline.
Moreover, the grievances between Li Hao and the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sage were well known, and solving it on the Dao field was reasonable.
In addition, he also wanted to see where Li Hao's confidence came from. Could it be... given by the Seeing Yuanzu? If so, many things would become interesting. He looked at the Seeing Yuanzu, but saw the astonishment in the Seeing Yuanzu's eyes, feeling a trace of surprise. Could it be that he was overthinking?
"Haotian, have you thought it through?"
At this time, the Medical Sage also spoke. Her voice was soft and gentle, flowing like a sweet spring.
Although she was asking Li Hao, she used the Sage Dao aura revealed by these words to easily block the Huntian Sage's power, avoiding any impact on Li Hao.
Li Hao looked at the Huntian Sage. Their gazes met, both filled with anger. Li Hao hid his killing intent in his heart; he also knew that under the other party's seemingly angry gaze, there was also killing intent.
Both had hidden it and hadn't exposed it, but Li Hao knew that he and Huntian would inevitably have a battle, just not now.
"Even if I want to retreat, I'm afraid someone doesn't want me to. If the Huntian Sage has a way to make them all not challenge me, then I will withdraw my words!"
Li Hao sneered in his heart. Since the other party pretended to want to protect him, then let the Buddha Venerable and the others be anxious first.
Hearing Li Hao's words, the Huntian Sage's expression softened slightly, and he turned to look at the Buddha Venerable, the Void Sage, and the others.
The Buddha Venerable and the Void Sage didn't expect Li Hao to actually back down, so they were immediately suspicious in their hearts. Could it be that Li Hao's move was to advance by retreating? With a Supreme Sage protecting him like this, if they couldn't challenge Li Hao at the Dao Discussion Assembly, they would never have another chance to kill him! "Huntian Supreme Sage, this child insulted my Buddhist Sect; I must prove the Dao with him!"
The Buddha Venerable didn't wait for the Huntian Sage to speak, taking the lead to express his attitude.
Although the other party was a Supreme Sage, he wasn't covering the sky with one hand. After all, there were other Supreme Sages here too.
"You are a Three Calamity Sage, yet you are looking for a new Sage to discuss the Dao. Isn't that bullying people too much!"
The Huntian Sage's expression turned cold upon hearing the Buddha Venerable's words, and he couldn't help but say.
Although he was protecting Li Hao, he was extremely angry at Li Hao in his heart. This troublemaker actually wanted him to clean up the mess.
"Although the Haotian Venerable is a new Sage, he may not necessarily look at us old people in his eyes."
The Buddha Venerable said calmly. These words were again deliberately pulling hatred for Li Hao, wanting to make Li Hao cause dissatisfaction among the Sages.
But other Three Calamity Sages looked at him, their brows showing some displeasure. They weren't stupid. Everyone knew the grievances between the Buddhist Sect and Li Hao. The Haotian person was targeting their Buddhist Sect, and wanting to drag them into the water was a bit too much! "That's right, he is so rampant, looking down on the heavens. If we don't give him a warning today, I'm afraid no one will be able to suppress him in the future!"
The Void Sage also spoke.
The Huntian Sage was annoyed and said: "Even if it's a Dao discussion, you only need to send one person. Why do you all need to go up? Could it be that you want to use this opportunity to bully people for being new Sages and want to destroy their Sage Dao?"
He pointed out the intentions of the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land, but the expressions of the Buddha Venerable, the Void Sage, and others were calm, without change.
"Since the Haotian Venerable has come here, he must have prepared for the Dao discussion. Since that's the case, we discuss the Dao with each other, it's a matter of mutual consent. Huntian Sage, shouldn't you stop interfering?"
The Green Lamp Buddha spoke slowly, gazing at the Huntian Sage.
The Huntian Sage's expression was gloomy. This was indeed true. Li Hao came here obviously with preparations to deal with it, but he didn't expect Li Hao's way of dealing with it to be so reckless, simply like seeking death.
Could it be that someone leaked the news, and the other party knew he would protect him?
The Huntian Sage looked at the Medical Sage, but saw that the other party was just gazing at the scene, with no thoughts visible in her expression. A cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"Hmph, since that's the case, then please do as you please!"
The Huntian Sage suddenly stopped being tough and said with a cold face.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped insisting, the Green Lamp Buddha, the Buddha Venerable, and the others looked at each other, all secretly relieved, but then they swept their eyes toward other Supreme Sages, worried about any further complications.
But the other Supreme Sages just gazed at Li Hao without speaking.
The Medical Sage looked at the Huntian Sage, their gazes meeting. Seeing the Huntian Sage sneer at her, she couldn't help but frown slightly, then looked at Li Hao, but saw that Li Hao didn't change color because of the Huntian Sage's withdrawal, but remained calm and composed as before.
She frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and didn't speak.
"Everyone, this is my Dao discussion with him!"
At this time, Huang Tianji on the Dao field suddenly spoke. His expression was extremely ugly. Everyone was arguing, but it seemed they had ignored him, the protagonist.
He was the one challenging Li Hao to a Dao discussion, but others seemed to default to him losing to Li Hao. How was that possible?
The Buddha Venerable's expression changed slightly, looking at this old friend.
He clearly saw that the other party was truly angry. At the same time, the other party's voice also came into his mind: "I don't want that thing anymore. Don't come up. I must kill him in the Dao discussion. I must kill him!"
Huang Tianji cultivated the Imperial Dao. Since he was a child, he had been an emperor, surrounded by stars and moons, with him as the center. When had he ever suffered such great humiliation, being so despised and ignored?
"Brother Huang Tian..."
The Buddha Venerable's expression was somewhat difficult. This was a chance to kill Li Hao.
"Could it be that you think I'm not as good as him?!"
Huang Tianji was annoyed, and while transmitting his voice, he glared at the Buddha Venerable.
The Buddha Venerable was somewhat bitter. He didn't think the other party would lose, but Li Hao was too strange and so arrogant and confident. He didn't want any mistakes, even if it was a one-in-ten-thousand possibility, he had to strangle it!
"Come up!"
Huang Tianji glared at the Buddha Venerable, then said sternly to Li Hao.
As he spoke, it was like an emperor giving an order, containing absolute authority, making people have an instinctive thought of obedience.
Li Hao just looked at him indifferently and said coldly: "I said, your Sage Dao is just a minor Dao. You are not enough!"
"Could it be that you want me to take action and capture you up here!"
Huang Tianji's expression was cold, with undisguised killing intent in his eyes.
Li Hao saw the Law Sage's lips slightly open, obviously about to speak, and couldn't help but shake his head. This Law Sage was really a meddlesome person. He couldn't be bothered to talk anymore and jumped onto the Dao field.
Seeing Li Hao finally step onto the Dao field, Huang Tianji's eyes were full of killing intent, and he immediately exuded Sage Dao power, shouting angrily:
"Mountains, rivers, sun, and moon are all condensed from dust. An emperor is the concentration of the power of heaven and earth. Imperial Dao is the Heavenly Dao, the sun, moon, and heaven and earth!"
As he spoke, his Sage Dao stood tall behind him like a dragon bone, pressing toward Li Hao.
Li Hao's hair flew, but his expression was like a gentle breeze, without the slightest change. He stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "When dust falls and condenses into mountains, it is no longer dust. An emperor gathers all things, causing all things to lose themselves. Gathering all things into one is a loser!"
"The gathering of all things inevitably leads to contention, all striving to be the main body."
"Where there is contention, there is defeat. Cultivating this Dao will lead to defeat, and eventually, a total failure!"
As he spoke, he directly dissected the core of the other party's Imperial Dao. The process of condensing the Imperial Dao was nothing more than "contention"! Seeing that the core of his Sage Dao was actually broken by Li Hao in one word, Huang Tianji's angry face couldn't help but clear up a lot, revealing some surprise. He stared at this youth; the other party didn't seem to be as he imagined, apart from arrogance and fierce combat power, useless.
"Only by not contending can the world not contend with it!"
Li Hao spoke slowly, revealing his own Sage Dao aura behind him. Just the light emitted by the Sage Dao was like a brilliant silver sword, abruptly cutting off Huang Tianji's Sage Dao!
In an instant, the dragon-bone-like Sage Dao was cut into two sections, and the core was broken!
And in front of him, a large amount of poetry and book experience jumped out, and his poetry and book Dao improved rapidly.
Huang Tianji groaned, spat out a mouthful of blood, his body staggered backward, looking at Li Hao in fear.
His eyes revealed fear and disbelief.
"Only by not contending can the world not contend with it?!"
As soon as these words came out, the Imperial Dao was destroyed.
In the sky, the Great Dao thunder sound rang out like a morning bell and evening drum, making everyone feel like they were awakened by spring thunder. Everyone felt horrified, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
This sentence actually triggered the Great Dao roar, indicating that it had touched the origin of the Great Dao!
"Not contending is not losing, not losing is invincible..."
"Not contending... is contending!"
The Seeing Yuanzu muttered to himself, his eyes shaking somewhat. He looked at the youth again, but a solemn look appeared in the depths of his eyes. Such Dao words reached the origin of the Great Dao, making his mind feel a trace of swaying.
Fortunately, he had cultivated for many years and condensed the origin of all things, having already touched this, but he hadn't stated this Dao origin as concisely as Li Hao.
"Not contending, how can one become an emperor..."
Huang Tianji spat out blood, his Sage Dao declined. Fear appeared in the depths of his eyes, but he gritted his teeth, wanting to question Li Hao. His Sage Dao was also closing together, wanting to condense again.
There was no sympathy in Li Hao's eyes. The sword transformed by the Sage Dao aura slashed out violently again.
The Sage Dao that the other party had just gathered was cut off again, and his aura suddenly declined by a large margin.
That Sage Dao had been washed by the heavenly tribulation, but at this moment, it was easily defeated by Li Hao's Sage Dao.
"Mountains do not reject dust, falling dust accumulates into mountains, not because the mountain contends. The sea does not reject fullness, the great sea gathers all rivers, not because of contention, but because all rivers flow back on their own!"
"The direction of the people's hearts is the true emperor!"
Li Hao's words were pearls of wisdom, accompanied by the Sage Dao aura, thoroughly cutting off Huang Tianji's Sage Dao and destroying the origin of his Sage Dao.
"Mountains do not reject dust..."
Huang Tianji was stunned, his brain shaking like thunder. He tried hard to preserve his Sage Dao, but his own Sage heart had already been destroyed.
Li Hao's words pierced into his heart like a steel knife, overturning all his thoughts.
When the Sage heart was destroyed, it meant that from the depths of his heart, he acknowledged Li Hao's words as truth.
"I..."
Huang Tianji opened his mouth, but spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole body suddenly emitted countless Great Dao auras, flying toward heaven and earth. And he himself, his long hair quickly decayed and aged. From the previously noble middle-aged imperial Sage, he turned into an old man in the twilight in the blink of an eye.
His Dharma robes also seemed to lose their color.
"Huang Tian..."
The Buddha Venerable's expression changed suddenly, looking at this scene in shock and anger.
Li Hao actually destroyed Huang Tianji's Sage Dao with one sentence! And Li Hao's own Sage Dao hadn't been revealed yet, just the Sage Dao aura was so terrifying! The Green Lamp Buddha frowned, gazing at Li Hao, his eyes relatively gloomy.
Seeing this scene, the Huntian Sage, besides being surprised, felt relieved in his heart. No wonder this kid dared to challenge so many; it turned out his Sage Dao had grown to such a degree.
In the depths of his eyes, there was a trace of killing intent. Just passing the human tribulation, he was already at such a degree. If he waited until he passed the heavenly tribulation, he would only be more plump and delicious.
It was just that he faintly felt that by the time that happened, he might not be able to handle Li Hao, so it was better to strangle him in advance.
Thinking of this, his eyes gradually began to ponder.
"How did you comprehend this kind of Great Dao..."
At this time, on the Dao field, Huang Tianji, who looked like a withered old man, said to Li Hao in despair.
He fell from being a Sage, his Sage Dao was destroyed, and the Great Dao he had absorbed in his body also left him. His cultivation plummeted, and he could no longer be considered a Sage.
Therefore, he saw light and a path in Li Hao's Sage Dao, and even had the thought of wanting to pursue it.
This was the terror of Dao discussion. Once one's own Sage Dao origin was destroyed, one might be enslaved by others, becoming their disciple or believer.
"Heaven and earth are the teachers. Tian Wujie has already told us, but you didn't see it."
Li Hao said calmly.
Huang Tianji's eyes were desolate, without words, like a lonely old man, turning and stepping off the stage.
The Buddha Venerable looked at him. His Sage Dao was destroyed, and it was impossible for him to become a Sage again, unless he cultivated another Sage Dao. It was impossible to cultivate the Imperial Dao again.
And cultivating another Sage Dao meant it was a new path. Cultivating on this path was no different from others, at most just slightly more excellent in aptitude.
He withdrew his gaze, didn't look much, and instead stared at Li Hao on the Dao field, revealing fear and killing intent in his eyes.
"Do you still want to take action?"
The Buddha Venerable transmitted his voice.
The Green Lamp Buddha stared at Li Hao, and after a long while, whispered: "His Sage Dao happens to restrain Huang Tianji's Sage Dao, which is why it destroyed his Sage Dao. Not contending... this Sage Dao does not have an opposing conflict with us. My Buddhist Sect does not contend with the world. Discussing the Dao on this path, he will surely lose!"
Hearing this, the Buddha Venerable also came to his senses and nodded immediately.
He had just been frightened by Li Hao, but thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case.
After all, he had only become a Sage for half a year. How could his Sage Dao really reach such a terrifying degree that a slight reveal would destroy the Sage Dao of a Three Calamity Sage? Supreme Sages were nothing more than this! On the other side, the Void Ancestor of the Void Sacred Land and the Green Lamp Buddha looked at each other. The Green Lamp Buddha stood up and said:
"This old monk will discuss the Dao with the Haotian Venerable and talk about this 'not contending'!"
Li Hao sneered. The other party still couldn't sit still.
But he knew that there was already some risk just now, alarming the fish nest. Now it was time to close the net.
"Is it only you? What about the others? You can all go up to the stage together. I am invincible if I do not contend!"
Li Hao said.
Seeing Li Hao's arrogant appearance, the Buddha Venerable sneered. Was he trying to use the momentum just now to deter them? Too ridiculous!
"Since that's the case, then I will follow your wishes."
The Buddha Venerable said with a compassionate face.
It seemed that going up to the stage was to satisfy Li Hao's wish.
Li Hao sneered, not bothering with the Buddha Venerable's hypocritical posture. Heaven and earth were lacking, and the other party cultivated the lacking part. He could fully understand why they were so unbearable.
Besides the Buddha Venerable, other Sages on the cushions suddenly stood up one after another.
"The Haotian Venerable despises us so much, so this old man will go up to the sky to discuss the Dao."
"My War Dao also wants to discuss with the Haotian Venerable how this 'not contending' is invincible!"
"My Spear Dao, the king of all weapons, is born a king. Not contending is also the Kingly Dao. I will also come to meet the Haotian Venerable's 'not contending' Dao!"
As some Sages stood up, other Sages narrowed their eyes, recognizing that these people were all Sages who had good relations with the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land. They didn't expect that to kill this new Sage, they would go to such great lengths.
Feng Feng Bo Ping's expression changed, somewhat shocked and angry, and he took a step out.
Li Hao transmitted his voice to him: "Old Man Feng, don't worry. Today, no matter how many come, they must die!"
Hearing his cold words, the words Feng Feng Bo Ping was about to say were stuck in his throat. He looked at Li Hao in astonishment.
Li Hao had already withdrawn his gaze, just looking coldly at these Sages entering the field.
The Buddha Venerable and the Twin Buddha Sons also went up to the stage. The Green Lamp Buddha and the Void Ancestor went up last, their expressions calm.
At this moment, on the Dao field, including the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land, there were thirteen Sages! Plus Li Hao, there were fourteen people.
With such a formation, many Sages watching outside had solemn expressions. Their gazes frequently looked at several Supreme Sages, but they saw that they didn't seem to have any intention of taking action.
And the many Half-Sages outside the field were shocked and speechless. Some of the old Half-Sages among them had participated in several Sage Dao discussions and didn't expect this session to be so intense.
"Not contending..."
Outside the Dao field, Huang Tianji, who walked out, looked at this scene. Besides sadness, he revealed a kind of madness. He stared at Li Hao, wanting to see how that 'not contending' Dao could defeat the Buddhist Sect and many other Sages like the War Sage.
You must know that the Dao of other Sages was not restrained by 'not contending'.
"Since the Dao discussion began, this is the first time that all Sages have discussed the Dao with one person. This move is somewhat unfair to Haotian. If Haotian's Sage Dao is destroyed, you must not push your luck!"
At this time, the Seeing Yuanzu also spoke, his face cold and solemn.
He was rarely serious. The Buddha Venerable, the Void Sage, and others nodded, but they were relieved in their hearts.
Listening to these words, the Seeing Yuanzu didn't intend to intervene, and also tacitly agreed that Li Hao would be destroyed by them, beaten back from the Sage Realm to the Half-Sage Realm.
They knew what the Seeing Yuanzu meant. Destroying this Haotian's Sage Dao was enough; they had to keep the other party's life! As for why they kept his life, all the Sages had a count in their hearts. After all, in two and a half years, it would be the time when the Ancient Palace opened.
By then, they would still need this monster who had mastered the Sixth Extreme Realm to be their key to explore the path of immortals and gods.
And by then, if he wasn't a Sage, it would be easier to handle him, and he wouldn't even have the capital to bargain.
After they finished using Li Hao, they would dispose of him, and then no one would hinder them.
"Don't worry, I will keep your dog's life and won't kill you!"
The Twin Buddha Sons' voice came into Li Hao's mind. He looked at Li Hao coldly.
Li Hao just glanced at him, his eyes full of contempt. "Have you fallen into a demon? Even your original intention is lost. What qualifications do you have to stand in front of me?!"
As he spoke, he revealed strong confidence and high-and-mighty disdain.
This momentum made the Twin Buddha Sons' expressions change slightly, and then they stared at him angrily: "It was all you who ruined me!"
"It was you who ruined yourself!"
Li Hao snorted, not bothering to pay attention to him.
He looked around the whole scene. Thirteen Sages surrounded him, all exuding vigorous Sage Dao auras, all Three Calamity Sages!
Obviously, Li Hao's destruction of Huang Tianji's Sage Dao just now made the other Sages who hadn't finished passing the Three Calamities dare not go up to the stage rashly. Although Li Hao was alone, no one knew if he would make a desperate counterattack before dying, dragging a soft persimmon to be a cushion.
"Since that's the case, let the Dao discussion begin!"
The Seeing Yuanzu didn't say much more, just looked at Li Hao deeply, revealing a look of pity in his eyes.
The Huntian Sage glanced at him. He didn't expect the Seeing Yuanzu to really not intend to take action. He frowned, and his expression was not happy.
Although Li Hao's life could be saved, the effect of this meat pill was equivalent to being invalid, unless he took him under his sect and cultivated him again. But whether he could still walk that path was unknown.
As the Seeing Yuanzu's words fell, the Buddha Venerable and others surrounding Li Hao suddenly revealed their auras, all exuding their respective Sage Dao auras.
Like thirteen pillars of light, straight into the sky. With so many Sage Daos revealed, countless Great Dao auras gathered above the Dao field, and the clouds churned.
"All things fight. From the mother's womb, they are fighting. War Dao is the supreme Dao of heaven and earth, fighting to the peak!"
The War Sage was burly. Within his Dao field, sword shadows flickered, and the shadows of many weapons intersected.
He was the War Sage. Tian Wujie in the world was his weapon and could fight for him. He cultivated many secret techniques and could master them quickly. Among all Sages, he was one of the few Sages who cultivated the most techniques and had the most miscellaneous techniques!
His Sage Dao turned into a huge holy axe, slashing toward Li Hao violently.
Li Hao looked up at the falling holy axe. A sword light surged from the Sage Dao behind him, instantly bouncing it away.
The War Sage's expression changed slightly, not expecting that Li Hao's Sage Dao also had a restraining effect on his War Dao.
"Everyone comprehends the Sage Dao, including War Dao, Buddha Dao, Void Dao, Spear Dao..."
Li Hao stood in the center of the Dao field, looking around at the Sages beside him, strong light gradually erupting in his cold eyes, "Then this Venerable asks you all, what is Dao?!"
His voice suddenly became loud, exploding like thunder, shaking the Dao field.
The Buddha Venerable and other Sages all had their expressions change slightly, and then their consciousness shook.
What is Dao? Before they could think, Li Hao's Sage Dao slowly extended. It was a brilliant silver light, looking like a peerless scripture, but it was blurred in the overly brilliant light and couldn't be seen clearly.
But as the Sage Dao was revealed, the eyes of the several Supreme Sages outside the field couldn't help but widen slightly.
"The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao!"
Li Hao's words were like a booming bell. That sentence was not a question to the Sages, but a questioning.
At this moment, he gave the answer for the Sages, giving the heavens an answer.
"The name that can be named is not the eternal name!"
As Li Hao's words rang out, the expression of the Name Sage changed slightly, feeling his Sage Dao origin being pulled, having a feeling of palpitation.
"The movement of the Dao is reversal!"
As Li Hao's third sentence fell, in the sky, a supreme aura seemed to be revealed.
As if the veil of the Great Dao origin was lifted, revealing it to the world.
Besides the Buddha Venerable and the Green Lamp Buddha on the Dao field, the Sages of the heavens outside the field were also alarmed, unable to help but look at the sky.
