Chapter 616: Ten Years of Guarding, Returning to the Holy Land (10,000-character update, seeking monthly votes!)

Two years later.

Li Hao's insight into the Dao of Carving entered the Dao, successfully breaking through to the ninth stage. Any further improvement would mean the tenth stage, entering the Saint realm.

As for the Dao Heart of Carving obtained at the ninth stage, Li Hao embedded it into his Dao of Movement. The many movement techniques he had mastered were all deduced and improved. In terms of movement, it was finally no longer a weak point. Combined with the Extreme Realm of Returning to Ruins, it reached the passing threshold of a Three Calamities Saint.

If he could reach the tenth stage in movement, that would be formidable; even a Supreme Saint might not be able to achieve it. Only a few individual Supreme Saints had movement techniques that reached the level of Sacrificing the Dao.

After all, these Supreme Saints had lived too long; even if they spent thousands of years drilling and cultivating, they could fill in the gaps in their other shortcomings.

Over these past two years, ancient demons had successively come to invade, but they were all third-tier ancient demons wandering here.

The moment they detected the Gate of Xuanpin was also the moment they were placed on Li Hao's death list.

As for the corpses of the ancient demons collected earlier, after two years, Li Hao still hadn't finished eating them. He felt he could eat for at least another three to five years.

The people waiting to take over the guard duty were long overdue. Li Hao had considered stepping out of the ancient road to see the situation outside, but he considered that if such an anomaly occurred, and he happened to encounter another Ancient Demon Commander outside, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

After all, the Ancient Demon Commander's perception range was greater than his. By the time he detected the other party, he would already be under their nose and would be wiped out instantly.

But it was different here. He had already laid down many hidden lines in the surroundings. If an Ancient Demon Commander approached, as long as the other party didn't deliberately sneak over, Li Hao could basically detect them through the hidden lines.

This was the ancient demons' territory, and the possibility of an Ancient Demon Commander sneaking over cautiously was not high, so Li Hao was still relatively at ease.

"The frequency of these ancient demons coming is getting faster and faster. It seems other Ancient Demon Commanders will soon notice this empty territory and occupy it..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered.

People in the Land of All Saints would not know that the entire world could face destruction at any time.

Once an Ancient Demon Commander found this place and destroyed the Gate of Xuanpin, the Land of All Saints would face a catastrophe.

Li Hao didn't know if this Gate of Xuanpin could withstand the existence of an Ancient Demon Commander level, so he could only try his best to study it, wanting to fill in the patterns on it.

Through two years of study, Li Hao only figured out that this thing required Immortal Power to repair.

Fortunately, he had already accumulated extremely vast Immortal Power in his body, but he hadn't become a True Immortal yet, so he couldn't skillfully control this Immortal Power.

But under the long-term tempering of this Immortal Power, his physical body had quietly transformed. Li Hao could feel his physical body getting stronger and stronger. The battle saber of the Huntian Saint could no longer cause damage to his physical body. His physical strength was at least comparable to a sixth-tier Imperial Weapon!

And the skin of his physical body was secondary; what truly transformed were the Dao bones and divine blood within his body.

The Great Dao patterns on the Dao bones were covered with a layer of silver radiance, holy and ethereal, becoming extremely hard.

In the golden divine blood, there was also a faint dark silver thread. Li Hao felt that if he accumulated more Immortal Power, as time passed, his physical body might slowly transform. Even if he couldn't perceive the path to becoming an Immortal, his physical body might become a True Immortal body first!

Li Hao had adapted to the two years of monotonous life.

Back then, in that courtyard, after the little tail behind him was taken away, he had also lived like this alone.

It was just that not long after, he met the Second Tianren Zongshi and Old Man Feng.

Thinking of the Second Tianren Zongshi, Li Hao thought of the human world, thought of the old man in the Imperial Palace, thought of the Big Mama in the Divine General Mansion, and that little guy who liked to squat beside him to listen to stories.

In addition, he also thought of the young girl who followed him to the frontier, Ren Qianqian, who held his sword for him and worked without complaint.

And that little fox he had held since it was small—he didn't know where it had run off to, and whether Emperor Yu had found it for him.

Many thoughts and feelings, when reminiscing and recalling, made the longing in his heart grow deeper and deeper, like an itch in his heart, giving him an urgent impulse to return.

But he knew that once he left and this place was exposed, the entire pseudo-world would face a catastrophe. He could only guard here.

How long he could guard, Li Hao didn't know, but it would at least alleviate the situation.

Otherwise, the ancient demon that found this place first might have already transmitted the news back, and the Land of All Saints would also face disaster.

Time passed.

In this desolate and barren canyon, Li Hao could slowly feel a bit of Nangong Jian's mood.

It was no wonder Nangong Jian was pessimistic in his heart, while Li Hao at least still had a way back and hope.

It was just that Li Hao also didn't know how long he needed to wait here.

That woman with the red tassel spear had broken her word, but Li Hao didn't blame the other party. He felt that it was mostly because she encountered some accident outside that led to this.

He now only hoped that the other party's trouble could be solved and that he could look forward to the appearance of the person who would suppress this place.

Or, the Immortals and Gods outside could clear out all the ancient demons on this battlefield, making this place completely safe.

Waiting became the norm. Li Hao's mind was all on carving, as well as studying the gaps in the patterns of the Gate of Xuanpin.

Five more years passed in a flash.

In the first two years, ancient demons came here every year, a dozen or so. Later, in the third year, when Li Hao's manifested avatar was laying out hidden lines outside, it detected that in a distant ancient demon territory, a large number of ancient demons were gathered and stationed there.

Li Hao's avatar quietly retreated and guarded.

Fortunately, his Dao of Movement had long been at the ninth stage. Movement included not only chasing and dodging but also concealment techniques, which also belonged to the movement category.

Combined with the concealment ability brought by the Jiang Xuetu and other attributes of the Illustrated Handbook, Li Hao's avatar did not alarm those ancient demons. It detected their traces from afar and quietly retreated.

And in this situation, Li Hao also realized that other ancient demons had already come here to occupy it.

He felt that time was getting tighter and tighter, and he studied more attentively every day, discarding other distracting thoughts.

But the patterns on this Gate of Xuanpin seemed to be some kind of supreme law. Over the years, Li Hao's research progress was extremely slow, not even one-thousandth.

As time passed, more and more ancient demon territories were occupied, and these ancient demons were getting closer and closer to Li Hao.

Li Hao found many rocks to cover the Gate of Xuanpin and laid down a barrier around it, using his own Saint Dao domain to cover it.

Now his Primordial Spirit had improved greatly, which was also the reason why his avatar could detect the ancient demons and retreat unscathed earlier. His perception range had already exceeded that of a second-tier ancient demon, and even a first-tier Ancient Demon Commander was weaker than him.

As long as Li Hao detected the ancient demons approaching in advance, he could use his Primordial Spirit to cover the traces here and confuse the ancient demons.

If the timing was right, Li Hao would kill them and use them as dinner.

Five years passed, and Li Hao's Primordial Spirit accumulated the fifth divine bone.

In addition, the Immortal Power in his body had accumulated even more terrifyingly. If he exploded with full force, he could easily slaughter even second-tier ancient demons, and he wouldn't fear hundreds of them.

But there were Ancient Demon Commanders in the territory, which were True Immortal-level existences. The gap between Immortals and mortals was huge, and Li Hao didn't dare to take risks.

Besides that, his experience in the Dao of Carving had also accumulated to the ninth stage perfection.

To improve further, he needed to comprehend his own Saint Dao of Carving.

Besides the Dao of Carving, his Dao of Fishing had also improved to the eighth stage, and his experience was full.

The hidden lines touching ancient demons over the years had brought Li Hao huge amounts of experience, and under this dangerous situation, Li Hao's mind was more focused when laying out hidden lines, and he gained more harvests from fishing.

Li Hao calculated the time; he had been here for ten years.

Ten years passed; he didn't know if the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King were still guarding there on the other side of the door.

However, for him now, they were no longer obstacles.

Li Hao used the Two-Faced Person Illustrated Handbook attribute to create a dark-side clone to keep watch and guard the canyon for him.

He himself focused on studying the patterns on the Gate of Xuanpin.

Under the vast Immortal Power in his body, the time Li Hao could enter the extreme Immortalization state extended for a long time, long enough to end several fierce battles.

In the extreme Immortalization state, Li Hao felt the patterns on the door more deeply; this seemed to be some kind of supreme law of heaven and earth.

Li Hao used the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao born from the combination of the three Saint powers to touch these patterns, and suddenly he had new discoveries, barely able to understand the structure of these patterns.

Li Hao slowly explored through this.

If outsiders knew that a Saint-level was actually studying the power created by an Immortal Emperor, they would inevitably sneer, but in this uninhabited place, Li Hao not only studied it but had already gained something.

While Li Hao was guarding the ancient road, behind the Gate of Xuanpin.

In the towering ancient palace standing in the starry sky.

Ten years passed.

Initially, all the Saints came here, competing with each other, scrambling, fearing that if they were a step late, the Immortal Road would be taken by others, leading to the destruction of the Immortal Road and no chance to ascend to Immortality.

But now, knowing that the Immortal Road had been stepped on by that Lord Haotian and that the door was blocked, and that one couldn't step on it without the sixth extreme realm, besides the initial anxiety, they slowly and gradually explored other parts of the ancient palace.

And over these years, all parts of the ancient palace had been explored, and there were no secrets to speak of.

The treasures left inside were not many, and the years were too long, so long that even the Seeing Yuanzu felt it was an unfamiliar era. The brilliance on the treasures had faded, and they had long lost their power. Some even shattered at a touch, as fragile as rubble.

Now, in front of the Gate of Xuanpin, only twenty or thirty Saints sat here.

They cultivated here, comprehending the sixth extreme realm, and at the same time waiting, in case the door opened and Lord Haotian returned at any time, so they could get the news at the first moment.

Currently, judging from the movement of the Gate of Xuanpin, they could confirm that Lord Haotian had not cut off the Immortal Road.

In this way, it left hope for all the Saints and also reversed Li Hao's reputation. From the previous condemnation by many Saints, now, they no longer talked about it, just burying their heads in comprehending their own extreme realms.

Now, whoever could comprehend the sixth extreme realm first would be the first to step onto the Immortal Road.

"Ten years, my avatar reincarnation went to the human world specifically. A hundred years have passed in the human world, but I still haven't been able to comprehend the sixth extreme realm."

"Me too. My avatar is guarding at the Three Imperishable Realms, not daring to continue cultivating, but still hasn't comprehended the Heavenly Human extreme realm."

"This sixth extreme realm is not achieved by cultivation and accumulation of power; it is insight into the will of heaven and the heart of heaven!"

The Saints guarding here mostly had heavy expressions.

Ten years passed, and the Immortal Road was right in front of them. This time, gathering the power of all the Saints in the Holy Land, they actually couldn't comprehend the sixth extreme realm in ten years. This was inevitably somewhat unbelievable, and it also made the status of that Lord Haotian's monstrous talent in their minds rise continuously.

At this very moment, they truly realized that this sixth extreme realm was difficult to comprehend even if they exhausted their thoughts, and it was not something ordinary people could reach.

Besides all the Saints, the Law Saint, Name Saint, and others all had solemn expressions and revealed contemplation.

They remembered the Seeing Yuanzu relaying Li Hao's words that the sixth extreme realm could not be achieved by cultivation.

For this reason, over these ten years, they had sent avatars to inquire about Li Hao's past, and they had checked all the details of this monstrous talent who had suddenly emerged.

After all, it was difficult to hide those little things in the human world from them.

After understanding Li Hao's past, they also used avatars to reincarnate into the human world, descending into the God Dynasty that believed in their own gods in the Great Desolate Heaven. Like Li Hao, they showed peerless talent from a young age, but acted low-key.

Moreover, they let their disciples reincarnate to become the fathers of their reincarnated avatars, cut off relations with the reincarnated avatars, and so on.

It was almost controlled from behind, replicating all of Li Hao's experiences.

But in the end, the reincarnated avatars seemed to become distorted. Not only did they not have Li Hao's free and easy nature, but they were instead hateful of evil and cynical.

Some simply gave up, no longer cultivating from then on, becoming useless people. Under the disasters of the God Dynasty they arranged, they had no resistance and could only watch the people die miserably. Some had numb expressions, some had tragic faces, but they were all powerless.

Some wanted to pick up cultivation again, but once cultivation was put down, it was difficult to pick it up again.

Moreover, they had inquired about Li Hao's past and knew that Li Hao had never seriously cultivated. The other party enjoyed eating, drinking, and having fun, but cultivation was as simple as eating and drinking for the other party.

Whenever the realm was not enough, a little cultivation seemed to break through.

And their reincarnated avatars... did not have such talent.

Although they used treasures to shape them, molding their bones in the mother's womb of the reincarnated avatar, giving them the world's top talent, it was still not enough.

If they cultivated wholeheartedly, they could reach the Tianren Zongshi Realm at fourteen, or even the Tianren Zongshi Realm at ten, far breaking Li Hao's cultivation record.

But if they ate, drank, and had fun, never touching cultivation, no matter how good the aptitude was, it couldn't withstand such squandering.

In this way, they felt more and more terrified. The talent of that young man seemed to be a hundred times more terrifying than they imagined.

Over these ten years, Li Hao's status in their minds rose continuously, making them know more and more that this young man's monstrous talent was terrifying.

And they didn't replicate Li Hao's experience in the Land of All Saints. After all, Li Hao had already comprehended the sixth extreme realm by then.

"Now, we can only pin our hopes on the Holy Infant."

In the short five years since Li Hao left, the reincarnated avatars of all the Saints were declared failures.

Five years in the Holy Land was fifty years in the human world, close to sixty years.

For such a long time, they hadn't been able to comprehend the Heavenly Human extreme realm, and it was the monstrous talent they had poured their efforts into, so it could only end in failure.

And the Seeing Yuanzu had previously proposed gathering the power of all the Saints to create a Holy Infant.

This Holy Infant received the blessing of all the Saints' power, was gathered and condensed from the Primordial Spirit fragments of all the Saints, and received the pouring of all the Saints' power from the mother's womb, showing extraordinary talent upon birth.

Therefore, even if this Holy Infant didn't need to cultivate, just by eating, sleeping, and breathing, it could absorb the power of heaven and earth. Even its pores could automatically absorb the power of the outside world, and its cultivation would automatically increase!

In this way, the life trajectory of this Holy Infant could completely simulate Li Hao's life.

They selected a God Dynasty. This God Dynasty was relatively similar to the Jiang Family God Dynasty, and the philosophy of governing the world was also similar. Some differences were also summoned and modified by all the Saints, almost built into the second Great Yu God Dynasty!

There, there were also five Divine General Mansions.

The Holy Infant was born in one of the Divine General Mansions. The Divine General Mansion was governed by law and taught by the Law Saint in secret.

He sent his disciples to descend into the human world to marry and have children, and the Holy Infant was born in the womb of his wife.

To ensure similarity, his wife was also a Holy Maiden found in an ancient family in the Great Desolate Heaven.

Under the control of all the Saints, the human world was like a chessboard, arbitrarily colored in their hands.

From a young age, the Holy Infant showed talent, but its parents were not by its side all year round.

The Holy Infant encountered secret harm from other concubines in the mansion, which was also secretly instructed by all the Saints, and let the three-year-old Holy Infant know.

And the Holy Infant also endured it secretly like Li Hao, acting normally.

But all the Saints had been paying close attention, knowing that the Holy Infant was talented and quick-witted, and was intentionally hiding it.

When it was six years old and building its foundation and molding its bones, all the Saints intervened secretly, interfering with the measurement effect of the talent, making the Divine General Mansion mistakenly think that the Holy Infant was a waste.

Thus, the Holy Infant became even more low-key.

Later, during cultivation, someone brought back a baby girl to accompany the Holy Infant in cultivation.

The selection of this baby girl had been debated by all the Saints, all wanting to use their own reincarnated avatars to replace her, but in the end, they chose a baby girl who was already in the human world.

This baby girl had extremely high talent and lost her parents from a young age, but her nature was somewhat precocious, and she took good care of the Holy Infant.

They were childhood sweethearts, cultivating in the courtyard.

Until one day, the precocious girl was chosen by a Tianren Zongshi Tianren Zongshi Jian Sheng who had been famous in the God Dynasty for many years and was taken away from the Divine General Mansion.

The Holy Infant was alone again.

But there were old people arranged by all the Saints in the Divine General Mansion, who soon met the Holy Infant by "coincidence" and accompanied it to eat, drink, and have fun.

And the talent of the Holy Infant, which gathered the power of all the Saints, played a role. Its cultivation increased all the time, but after the Holy Infant was secretly harmed from a young age, it learned to hide low-key, so its cultivation was also intentionally hidden and not exposed to the old people in the Divine General Mansion who accompanied it.

Even so, its cultivation was relatively shallow. In the eyes of the old people, they had already seen the clues and asked it, but the Holy Infant denied it flatly.

The behavior of the Holy Infant could not be interfered with by all the Saints. The reincarnated body was already an independent personality, unless they stimulated the Saint power in its body, making it awaken the Saint thought, but in this way, although they could get their memories, it was also equivalent to declaring this reincarnation a failure, and the original personality would be replaced by the Saint will.

The Holy Infant played all day on the surface, but secretly cultivated hard, seemingly wanting revenge, wanting to break free from some kind of bondage.

Although all the Saints saw it, they didn't stop it. They investigated Li Hao's situation. Although no one had seen Li Hao cultivate, it didn't mean Li Hao wouldn't cultivate secretly.

Otherwise, doing nothing but having heaven-defying cultivation—they wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death; this was absolutely impossible.

The Holy Infant cultivated secretly, and no one knew, but its strength was growing rapidly.

At thirteen, it was already in the Heavenly Human Tianren Zongshi Realm, breaking Li Hao's record.

But no one knew.

Until its father returned at fourteen, the Holy Infant chose revenge.

The final result, however, triggered a battle between father and son. The Holy Infant showed shocking cultivation. At fourteen, it had already stepped half a foot into the Three Imperishable Realms.

This result also made the Holy Infant famous throughout the world. Among the many God Dynasties in the center of the entire human world, its good name was spread, and it was called the number one genius in the human world for ten thousand years.

Subsequently, the later experiences, under the interference and arrangement of all the Saints, also followed the same trajectory.

But now, the Holy Infant was already forty years old.

It had become a God of War-like existence in the human world and had long since reached the perfection of the Hearing Dao Realm. It had wanted to come to the Land of All Saints several times but was rejected by all the Saints.

A Saint descended and told it that it must comprehend the sixth extreme realm before it could come to the Holy Land.

Now, the Holy Infant was still cultivating in the human world.

It was just that its cultivation had reached the limit of the human world, and it had almost condensed the Eternal Dao Domain. Its cultivation could not be advanced any further.

Now the Holy Infant was wandering the world in the human world, looking for the path to the sixth extreme realm.

When it could comprehend it, all the Saints didn't know, but they knew that this was already the most likely hope.

When the Holy Infant's cultivation reached the Four Standing Realms, their many arrangements had already lost their meaning, and they could only let the other party grow freely later.

"Although the Holy Infant looks like it's eating, drinking, and having fun, it has been cultivating hard secretly, wanting revenge. I always feel that this path is wrong. Maybe it shouldn't be completely replicated."

All the Saints were waiting in the starry sky where the Gate of Xuanpin stood, but their thoughts were focused on the human world.

"That's right. When it was said to do this, I had opposed it. Maybe letting it be a pampered waste would be better."

"That Haotian said that the sixth extreme realm is harder to cultivate the more you want to cultivate it. If there is no hatred, it won't be in a hurry to cultivate. Maybe it will be another state of mind, more in line with that Lord Haotian's state of mind."

"But, its life trajectory is the same. Isn't its current state of mind that Lord Haotian's state of mind?" Someone retorted.

Some Saints were silent.

Their own reincarnated avatars had all failed, and there was basically no hope.

Moreover, this was not the first time they had failed, but this time it belonged to the effort of pouring all their strength, so the frustration brought by failure was even more impressive.

"Someone once said that the patterns of every snowflake are different, and the fingerprints of every person are not the same. Although there are similar experiences, that Lord Haotian is Lord Haotian, and the Holy Infant is the Holy Infant. There is no second Seeing Yuanzu in the world, nor is there a second Lord Haotian."

A Saint whispered.

Other Saints heard his words and couldn't help but be silent.

Yes, there are only similar people in the world, but not exactly the same people.

Even, the me of yesterday is not the me of today.

The me of today is also not the me of tomorrow.

"That's true, but this is already the last hope." A Saint said in a low voice.

Hope is too fatal. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, even if they know that what they are doing is problematic, they will still try hard.

"This Holy Infant is just the first attempt. If this time fails, we can try next time, letting it have no hatred in its heart, nor the motivation to cultivate, with endless wealth and power, as long as it enjoys it with peace of mind. In this way, let's see if it can comprehend that sixth extreme realm without any pursuit."

At this time, the Seeing Yuanzu spoke in a low voice, interrupting the negative words of the crowd.

Hearing his words, all the Saints paused, and then nodded slightly.

Although every reincarnation of the Holy Infant also had a lot of consumption for them, for the sake of stepping on the path of Immortals and Gods, this payment was worth it.

"This first Holy Infant is already a failed product."

The God King spoke coldly, saying: "It now looks like it's traveling and playing every day, but it harbors hatred. The Law Saint who previously blocked it from coming to the Holy Land let it bury the seeds of hatred in its heart, just like when it was young, the first time it was secretly harmed, it harbored hatred, but it hid it. Now it is the same. It is secretly competing. It looks like it's enjoying the human scenery, but in fact, it is more urgent than anyone else to become a Saint."

All the Saints were slightly startled and couldn't help but look at him.

Over these ten years, they had been here with the God King, and their goals were consistent, so there were no conflicts for the time being.

And the God King's words also made the Seeing Yuanzu's brows frown tightly.

All the Saints looked at each other and suddenly felt that the God King might not be wrong.

Clearly having cultivated to the perfection of the Hearing Dao Realm and being qualified to enter the Holy Land, but being blocked, and the reason obtained was not enough to make it convinced, so hatred would inevitably arise in its heart.

Outside the crowd, the Sword Tianren Zongshi heard this and nodded slightly. He had long noticed this point and had long seen that this Holy Infant would fail.

He was not guarding here in his true form, but as an avatar.

Here, besides some Saints in their true forms, many Saints had also returned to their respective territories, leaving only avatars here to wait.

"That's right. As far as I know, Lord Haotian has no hatred in his heart. Even if he was hunted and ambushed by that Void Saint, such great humiliation and anger—I didn't see the anger of hatred in him. He didn't let others' mistakes torture himself. Hatred didn't burn him."

The Sword Tianren Zongshi said calmly.

Hearing his words, many people looked at him, knowing that the Sword Tianren Zongshi had a good relationship with that Lord Haotian.

What the other party said was naturally credible.

"Since that's the case, then let's start the second Holy Infant plan. This time, let it enjoy happiness with peace of mind."

The Seeing Yuanzu was silent for a long time and said in a low voice.

All the Saints looked at each other and were silent when they saw this. Some were hesitant, but seeing that most people acquiesced, they could only give up.

The Sword Tianren Zongshi saw this, and the appearance of fishing with Li Hao appeared in his mind. The joy in the other party's eyes when catching a fish was an undisguised happiness. The other party loved this world from the bottom of his heart.

"Maybe, the second Holy Infant can be alienated from cultivation, and other interests and hobbies can be cultivated by its side from a young age. It doesn't necessarily have to completely conform to similar experiences."

The Sword Tianren Zongshi suggested in a low voice.

The Seeing Yuanzu looked at him and remained silent without responding.

Not long after, the second Holy Infant plan was launched.

In a God Dynasty somewhere in the human world, another Qilin child with peerless talent was born.

Time flew by.

Twenty years passed in a daze in the human world.

But only two years had passed in the Holy Land.

Twenty years, this time the second Holy Infant had been loved by its elders and parents since it was young, and its life was carefree.

The people around it were intentionally arranged to interfere with it, cultivating many other interests and hobbies.

Flower arranging, tea tasting, chess, fishing, etc.

Among the many rich young masters, it belonged to the alternative, but due to the prominent family background behind it, no one dared to criticize it.

And even without cultivation, with the root bones given by all the Saints, plus some rare treasures quietly added to its diet in its life, the strength of this second Holy Infant had never been seriously cultivated, and it even rejected cultivation, just fooling around a little, and it stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm at the age of twenty.

This kind of performance could be considered a top monstrous talent, but it was far from as amazing as the first Holy Infant.

However, compared to never seriously cultivating and being able to reach this level, it was already very terrifying.

This was also the result of all the Saints' control.

Proceeding to this step, all the Saints paid closer attention to the human world.

And at the same time.

Outside the Gate of Xuanpin, two years had also passed in a daze.

In these two years, Li Hao had successively killed some ancient demons, and more and more ancient demon territories had been occupied.

As the ancient demons wandering here became more frequent, plus being killed and disappearing, Li Hao felt that this place could be exposed at any time.

The ancient demon corpses in his hands had long been cooked and eaten.

Now, he saved the time of cooking every day, leaving only carving insights and studying the gaps in the patterns of the Gate of Xuanpin.

Under deep thought and exploration, Li Hao barely had some understanding of these patterns, but it was only an extremely superficial part. The power of the laws on these patterns was a power similar to the Chaos Divine Fire, born from the root of heaven and earth. Li Hao called it the Law of Chaos, or the Law of Heavenly Dao.

He couldn't repair it according to these patterns. After all, the gap between him and the Immortal Emperor's realm was too far, too far. He could only repair it with his own methods, pasting his own power on it.

It was just that Li Hao was not proficient in arrays and was not familiar with restrictions, and sealing this gap required the use of arrays.

But how could a living person be suffocated to death by urine? Although Li Hao didn't understand arrays, his physical body had become a Saint, and his understanding of the physical body was extraordinary.

He chose to use a part of his body to block this gap.

Like a finger.

Moreover, the reason for choosing his body, Li Hao also had a reason, which was that there was Immortal Power in his body.

If he used his body to block it, if the other party attacked the gap, first, he could know at the first moment that the Gate of Xuanpin was under attack. Second, the other party had to be at least at the True Immortal realm to break the gap and destroy his body.

He couldn't mobilize Immortal Power outside his body. Once it was outside his body, it would turn into vast power of heaven and earth.

But he could directly utilize his body.

Thinking of this wonderful method, Li Hao was a little excited. Although this method would still have the gap broken if he encountered an Ancient Demon Commander, this was already the best level he could achieve at present.

What he needed to do next was to find a way to hide this Gate of Xuanpin.

Li Hao could only find more rocks to cover this place, and then try to disguise it as naturally as possible.

In addition, he left the dark-side clone to keep watch here.

With his current Primordial Spirit strength, even if the dark-side clone could only inherit one-third of his power, the clone's Primordial Spirit power was also extremely terrifying.

Let the dark-side clone's Primordial Spirit cover this place; even second-tier ancient demons approaching might not be able to sense it, unless it was a first-tier Ancient Demon Commander.

But the power of the Gate of Xuanpin itself could block first-tier ancient demons.

True Immortals cannot enter.

Therefore, the worst situation was that even if it was detected and his own blocking was broken, only second-tier and third-tier ancient demons could enter the Land of All Saints.

"Staying here any longer has no meaning. If an Ancient Demon Commander really comes here, that is fate."

Li Hao looked at the Gate of Xuanpin, his eyes showing longing.

Too long.

He calculated that, including the time he spent fighting and killing with Nangong Jian here, plus the time he stayed by himself, it had already been twelve years.

You know, when he came here, he was less than thirty years old.

"12 years, these guys are mostly still behind the door."

Li Hao's eyes flickered. The lifespan of a Saint is long. All the Saints have tens of thousands of years, some even longer, like the Seeing Yuanzu, who is estimated to have a hundred thousand years.

For them, twelve years is just a snap of the fingers.

"However, these twelve years are probably quite hard for them."

Li Hao couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. He could imagine the nervous and anxious mood of all the Saints.

It was just that this path of Immortals and Gods was completely different from what they imagined.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, handed the matter over to the dark-side clone, and then let his physical body reach the extreme Immortalization, merging into heaven and earth, and drilled through the crack gap.

However, he cut off a section of his physical cells, and after he passed through, he would use that part to fill the gap. Only Immortal Power could connect it.

While Li Hao was traveling, in the starry sky inside the ancient palace.

In front of the Gate of Xuanpin, all the Saints sat silently, their minds all focused on the second Holy Infant in the human world.

One year here, ten years in the human world. If another year passed, they might even be able to see the clues of whether this Holy Infant could comprehend the Heavenly Human extreme realm.

After all, the other party had reached the Heavenly Human Realm, and they had also sent disciples to quietly change and guide the other party by its side.

Suddenly, the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King, who were sitting cross-legged, opened their eyes abruptly.

They detected a breath, vast and profound. That was not the breath of their Saints, but an extraordinary power that transcended Saint power.

"Immortal God?!"

The two looked up abruptly, looking towards the ancient Immortal Gate standing there.

Then they saw that outside the Immortal Gate, a force was seeping in. This force was extremely terrifying, vast and boundless, making the two feel heart-pounding, and their eyes couldn't help but open wide, and their breathing became somewhat rapid.

On the other side of the door, has an Immortal God descended into this world?

Is it here to pick them up?!

The Seeing Yuanzu's eyes went from shock to excitement, and his whole body trembled somewhat.

At this time, although the reactions of other Saints were a beat slower, they all detected it.

"Immortal God?"

All the Saints were shocked. Has an Immortal God descended?

They waited for twelve years, didn't wait for the Holy Infant to grow up, but ended up waiting for an Immortal God to descend into this world personally?!

Everyone became excited, staring fixedly at the vast breath at the door.

Soon, this breath gradually contracted, and gradually, a familiar smell leaked out from this breath.

The Seeing Yuanzu, who was in excitement, couldn't help but change his face slightly, somewhat stunned, and then opened his eyes slowly in disbelief.

Is it him?

In just twelve years... could he have already become an Immortal God?!

He felt his heart suddenly tighten, and he had an indescribable feeling.

Soon, this breath condensed, transformed from the vast power of heaven and earth, gradually molded a physical body, and then revealed its appearance.

When the physical body condensed, Li Hao's breath was also revealed. All the Saints were also surprised, just looking at this physical body condensing bit by bit, until Li Hao's appearance was revealed, and the whole scene was silent.

It really is Li Hao!

He is back again!

In the crowd, the Sword Tianren Zongshi was stunned, and then revealed a happy smile.

And the Tianren Zongshi Tianren Zongshi Jian Sheng was stunned, never expecting that the vast power he just felt was actually Li Hao.

At this time, after seeing Li Hao's appearance clearly, all the Saints were shocked, and their expressions became complicated.

The Seeing Yuanzu stared, and soon realized that Li Hao's breath was still Saint-level. The previous towering and surging Immortal Power seemed to have disappeared, as if it were an illusion.

He showed contemplation in his eyes. If Li Hao was really an Immortal God, there should be no need to pretend in front of them.

However, even if Li Hao stood there now, he had a feeling that the other party had changed greatly, a change he couldn't see, which made him somewhat jealous. Is this the change brought by the world of Immortals and Gods?

"It's actually you."

The God King had already stood up, staring at Li Hao, his eyes extremely solemn.

Li Hao dared to return, so he should have expected that they would guard here. Returning now, could it be that he relied on them being unable to pose a threat to him?

He could also feel that there was a power in Li Hao's body that made him wary, which was incredible.

"Sure enough, you are still here. It's quite lively."

Li Hao swept his eyes and saw all the Saints present, finding that the number of people was not as many as he imagined. But his Primordial Spirit was powerful, and through the cracks behind, he sensed that many Saint avatars were also sitting in the ancient palace outside. Basically, the Saints of the Land of All Saints, either their true forms or avatars, were all gathered here.

However, he didn't see Old Man Feng and the Lie Heaven Saint inside. Li Hao remembered that they had said before that they didn't want to come, and he didn't expect that they really hadn't come to this day.

When he saw the Sword Tianren Zongshi, Li Hao found that he was only an avatar here, and couldn't help but smile and nod to him.

"Lord Haotian, have you... already obtained the secret method of the Immortals and Gods?"

At this time, a Saint in the crowd couldn't help but ask.

Other Saints were staring at Li Hao with complicated and fiery eyes.

Li Hao saw their gazes and frowned slightly. This look made him somewhat uncomfortable. He said indifferently:

"Do all the Saints still want to attack me?"

"Lord Haotian, we are all waiting for you. You cannot monopolize this Immortal God Road. Cultivation depends on ability. Let us go over too, okay?"

A Saint said hurriedly.

The Seeing Yuanzu and the God King didn't speak, just staring tightly at Li Hao, their eyes pondering.

Previously, they almost forced Li Hao into this door. The other party mostly harbored hatred in his heart, so they had to find a way to make him let go and resolve the previous grievances.

Li Hao heard the Saint's words and couldn't help but feel funny. If the other party knew the situation of the Immortal God Road, they would probably be too late to escape.

"What are the thoughts of the two of you?"

Li Hao looked at the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King calmly.

The Seeing Yuanzu saw Li Hao's fearless appearance and immediately knew that Li Hao must have something to rely on. Many guesses appeared in his heart, such as Li Hao apprenticing to an Immortal Sect, obtaining some kind of powerful treasure, or obtaining some kind of terrifying Immortal Law himself. All these made him somewhat wary, and at this moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face, saying:

"Lord Haotian, everything before was a misunderstanding. You also know that we were worried that you were too young to grasp it. Now that things have come to this, tell me, what can make you feel comfortable? We will do as you say."

Li Hao sneered and said: "Misunderstanding? The Seeing Yuanzu is good at speaking. However, if you want to apologize, it's not that there is no chance. Two hundred heaven and earth treasures for each of you, and this matter will be considered over."

The Seeing Yuanzu's face changed slightly, and the God King also frowned.

"Lord Haotian, these heaven and earth treasures are extremely rare. Although I have accumulated quite a few over the years, they are all used on my own Imperial Weapon. Although I have a little surplus, I don't have two hundred pieces."

The Seeing Yuanzu couldn't help but say, his expression extremely serious, seemingly wanting to make Li Hao believe it.

The God King said in a low voice: "You know my situation. I just returned. Where would I have so many heaven and earth treasures? Don't open your mouth like a lion!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "Whether you have them or not is one thing, but I don't like the tone of your voice."

"You..."

The God King couldn't help but clench his fists in anger, but thinking that this Immortal God Gate was in Li Hao's hands and Li Hao could enter and exit at will, and he and the Seeing Yuanzu couldn't do anything to the other party, he could only endure it.

"How about one hundred pieces for both of us? This is already considered emptying me out."

The Seeing Yuanzu asked in a low voice, "If you are still not satisfied, you can use other things to compensate you. I can give you a hundred years of incense from a small world. Although you are a Saint by Sacrificing the Dao, the power of incense is still useful to you."

Li Hao's expression didn't change, but he knew in his heart that the other party should be telling the truth. Over a hundred pieces were enough to empty them both out.

"What about you?"

Li Hao looked at the God King.

The God King saw Li Hao acquiesce to the Seeing Yuanzu's conditions and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, pondering: "I don't have as much family wealth as him. What I cultivate is the Extreme Dao. If you need it, if they allow it, I can slaughter a world for you and give you the power of the Extreme Dao. Besides, don't you have a friendship with my junior? I can marry her to you."

Li Hao was startled and immediately knew he was talking about Ying Xiaoxiao.

His face turned cold, and he said: "What do you take her for? An item? You say marry, so you marry?"

The God King was startled, feeling that Li Hao's anger was somewhat inexplicable, and frowned: "I am her ancestor. It is said that marriage matters are ordered by parents. As an ancestor of a clan, I personally permit it. This is already her greatest honor."

"So, if I marry her, I still have to respect you as an ancestor?"

Li Hao sneered.

The God King also kept a straight face and said: "If you don't want to, there is no need to be like this."

Li Hao stared at him without speaking.

And at this time, all the Saints looked at each other and looked at the Seeing Yuanzu, but the Seeing Yuanzu was staring at Li Hao, silent.

He acquiesced to the God King's proposal.

All the Saints didn't care about the God King's proposal of marriage. For them, this was a small matter, but the God King said he would slaughter a world and take the power of the Extreme Dao to give to Li Hao, which was somewhat terrifying.

Thirty-three Heaven Worlds, if one is slaughtered, it will be thirty-two heavens.

The Sword Tianren Zongshi looked at Li Hao, his eyes hesitant, his mood complicated.

He wanted to stop it. If it were someone else, he would have raised an objection.

But the beneficiary was Li Hao, so his mood became contradictory. But following his own heart, even if it was Li Hao, he didn't want the other party to use such means to cultivate.

After thinking and hesitating, he still said: "Lord Haotian... Seeing Yuanzu..."

The Tianren Zongshi Tianren Zongshi Jian Sheng seemed to notice his senior brother's thoughts, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at him.

Offending Li Hao at this time would cut off the Immortal Road.

But the Sword Tianren Zongshi didn't look at him. The Sword Dao in his heart didn't want to be stained with regret.

All the Saints looked at the Sword Tianren Zongshi, their eyes complicated.

The Medicine Saint was silent for a long time, looked at Li Hao fixedly, and then looked at the Seeing Yuanzu, saying:

"Seeing Yuanzu, this kind of thing hurts heaven and harmony. It's better to let the God King change a method."

"That's right. A small world has hundreds of millions of people. When you killed the God King back then, wasn't it because the Extreme Dao cultivation was too inhumane? Now, could it be that you also want to be in the same boat?"

At this time, the Literature Saint also spoke in a low voice.

If he acquiesced to this kind of thing, his literary heart would shatter. The literary Dao he cultivated also didn't allow such tragic things to happen.

"Sacrificing the small self can achieve the great self. If necessary, sacrificing a little is not impossible. Anyway, they can still reincarnate."

A Saint next to him raised an objection.

"That's right. As long as we become Immortals, we will open up the road of this world in the future, and everyone can become an Immortal. Sacrificing a small world temporarily, what's wrong with that?"

"Maybe they will be grateful to us then."

Some Saints even said.

The Literature Saint was trembling with anger and roared: "How can this be the same? Even if they can reincarnate, is the previous life the present life? Speaking of which, you all have previous lives, but will you treat yourself as your previous life?"

Although the Saints present were not reincarnations of Saints, they were also reincarnations of mortals.

Hearing the Literature Saint compare them, a Saint said: "For mortals, they don't know good and evil, don't know the Heavenly Dao. Life and death for them is just a disaster, a pain. Even for some people, living is more painful. As long as they are wiped out fast enough, shortening such pain is not a sin."

The Literature Saint was trembling with anger. Two pieces of skin on the mouth, speaking forward and backward, just open the mouth.

For their own interests, such great evil can actually be called a good deed.

"Are you worthy of the faith of those people?"

The Literature Saint couldn't help but question.

Besides him, other Saints also stood up to echo.

Not all Saints present could acquiesce to such tragic things happening.

However, Saints like the Literature Saint and the Sword Tianren Zongshi were only a minority.

Most of them spoke one after another, arguing, and more people joined, and the arguments became more exaggerated.

Li Hao listened to those remarks, feeling ridiculous, and also feeling sad. The Saints in front of him were like market people in his eyes at this moment, arguing for their own gains and losses.

Yes, the two words of gain and loss, how many people can see through them, not fight or grab, and be content with the situation?

If they could really do it, they wouldn't have cultivated to become Saints.

After all, to cultivate to this step, one must pay great efforts and fight for the secrets of heaven step by step.

Li Hao's gaze looked at the Seeing Yuanzu, seeing him always silent.

And the Law Saint, at this moment, actually remained silent and didn't speak.

For them, becoming an Immortal seemed to outweigh sacrificing a small world.

Although the matter was done by the God King and the proposal was said by the God King, they were all acquiescing.

Li Hao looked at the Law Saint and said: "What about you? How do you view it? Does your Dao of Law and Discipline allow it?"

The Law Saint didn't expect Li Hao to ask him. Hearing this, his face looked somewhat unpleasant, saying: "There are many natural and man-made disasters in the world. These are not within the law and discipline. The supreme Dao of Law is the Dao of Heavenly Dao, and the Dao of Heavenly Dao lies in the survival of the fittest. All things are like this. Birds eat insects, and eagles eat birds."

Li Hao nodded: "This is your Dao of Law, the Dao of Self-Interest."

The Law Saint's face changed suddenly, and anger appeared on his face, but he had concerns and endured this anger.

Li Hao was disappointed in his heart. Even the excitement of returning was somewhat boring. He said: "I don't need such power of the Extreme Dao. You don't need to argue anymore."

Hearing Li Hao's words, all the Saints stopped talking.

The Literature Saint and other minority Saints showed joy on their faces, and their eyes looked at Li Hao with a bit more respect.

Previously, their understanding of Li Hao was not deep, but at this moment, under such a huge choice of interests, one could see a person's true nature.

The Sword Tianren Zongshi was also relieved. He faintly felt in his heart that Li Hao would refuse, but Li Hao really spoke, which still made him feel that he hadn't misjudged the person.

Other arguing Saints heard this and were also resentful, and their hearts were also relieved.

Although they agreed, it would be better if such things didn't happen. Human nature is so complicated.

The God King heard this and said: "Then what compensation do you want?"

"Extreme Dao Attack Secret Method, God Race Blood Source Great Method." Li Hao said calmly.

These two, one is the use of the Extreme Dao power that the God King himself explored, and the other is the God King's trump card, which can absorb the bloodline power of the same race and transform it into his own power, briefly increasing his strength to an incredible level.

And this is also the true means by which the God King dares to challenge the Seeing Yuanzu.

Previously in the Void Heaven Abyss, Li Hao saw this point. Mastering this method, he could crack this method.

Besides these, he didn't have anything else he needed.

The God King heard Li Hao's words, his face changed, somewhat ugly. Both of these touched his roots.

Especially the Blood Source God Method, which is his strongest means.

"The Blood Source God Method is not okay, but the Attack Secret Method can be given to you. In addition, you cultivate the physical body. I know a forbidden place with top Immortal-level divine medicine, which can make your physical Saint Dao condense to a higher level. How about exchanging with this?" The God King said.

Li Hao frowned slightly, looking at the God King's determined appearance. It seemed that the Blood Source God Method touched the other party's bottom line.

He didn't persist anymore. Although he couldn't master this method, with his current strength, if he really wanted to kill the God King, he wouldn't need such means.

"Okay."

Li Hao nodded and agreed.

Seeing Li Hao agree, the God King and the Seeing Yuanzu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Other Saints heard this, and joy also appeared on their faces.

"Since that's the case, then I will order people to prepare now. Tianyu, you bring me that incense treasure box."

The Seeing Yuanzu said immediately.

Among the Saints, Xiao Tianyu's face was complicated. Li Hao, who competed with him on the same stage in the past, now makes all the Saints unwilling to offend.

He heard the Seeing Yuanzu's words, lowered his head and agreed, and then turned and left.

The God King also immediately used divine sense to transmit sound to Li Hao, telling him many Extreme Dao Attack Secret Methods and the news of that forbidden place.

Not long after, Xiao Tianyu brought back a treasure box.

This is a Dao Tribulation Imperial Weapon, only at the first tribulation level, but the effect is special, capable of storing the power of incense.

The Seeing Yuanzu handed it to Li Hao, saying: "There is a hundred years of incense from a world here. If you become a Saint by incense, it is enough for you to resist the earth disaster and promote to a Second Calamity Saint."

Li Hao didn't be polite and put the treasure box away.

"What about the heaven and earth treasures?"

The Seeing Yuanzu and the God King looked at each other and communicated through sound transmission.

The God King said in a low voice: "I only have thirty pieces. You pay the remaining twenty pieces first!"

A gloomy look flashed across the Seeing Yuanzu's face, but in the end, he agreed and said other requirements. Soon, the two gathered one hundred heaven and earth treasures and handed them to Li Hao.

Li Hao also naturally took them and put them all away.

"Now, should you open the Immortal Road and let us in?"

The God King saw Li Hao put away the things and said in a deep voice.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "When did I say let you in? Aren't these gifts for apologizing for the last incident?"

Hearing this, the Seeing Yuanzu and the God King's faces changed, and all the Saints were stunned, anger appearing on their faces, but they dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

"Lord Haotian, since you have already apologized, this Immortal God Road originally belongs to everyone. You are also a person of our world. We go to the Immortal God Land, and everyone can take care of each other in the future. Don't you think so?"

The Seeing Yuanzu said, his tone still gentle, with a bit of persuasion.

Li Hao nodded and said: "If it is the Immortal God world in your imagination, I naturally won't stop you, but unfortunately, the other side of this door is too dangerous. If you go in, you will definitely die!" ===== CHAPTER 617 =====
