Chapter 728

Above the head is a world of chaotic gray mist, with streams of vibrant light passing through like a rain of stars.

Li Hao was stunned by this magnificent scene; those countless streams of light, flowing endlessly, were clearly the origins of the Great Dao. If one could capture and contemplate them, it would greatly increase the speed of comprehending the origins of the Great Dao.

At this moment, he was situated in a towering, ancient city. The city walls were pitch-black and high, carrying an ancient and heavy feeling, standing here as if for ten million years.

Li Hao expanded his spiritual sense and discovered that the city was extremely large, but the interior was extremely empty, with many houses being old and uninhabited.

The city was exceptionally quiet, but Li Hao still saw three figures. Besides the previously arrived Chu Tianhuang and Helian Boya Xuejian, there was also a strange young figure, wearing a peculiar silver robe, looking extremely noble.

"Hmm?"

While Li Hao was surveying his surroundings, Chu Tianhuang and Helian Boya Xuejian, who were still observing the area, also detected Li Hao through their own spiritual sense.

Both were startled, surprise appearing in their eyes. From Li Hao's previous battle with Chu Tianzheng, they saw that Li Hao's talent was formidable and his combat power terrifying, but they did not expect the other party to be able to reach this level as well.

"You were actually able to reach the ninth level; are you also a Nine-Flower Immortal Seal?"

As Chu Tianhuang's eyes flickered, his figure flashed, arriving beside Li Hao, his aged face carrying a bit of kindness as he asked gently.

Previously, Li Hao had suppressed Chu Tianzheng in public, stepping on the imperial body, but at this moment, he was looking at Li Hao with a kind face, without the slightest anger.

Li Hao felt the restrained power on the other party; this member of the royal family was clearly more than a notch stronger than the Chu Tianzheng he had defeated earlier.

"Where is this?"

Li Hao nodded and asked curiously.

Just now, when he went to meet that Chu Emperor, quite some time had passed, but looking at the appearance of these two, it seemed they had just arrived here.

It seemed that in the palace where he met the Chu Emperor, the power of time was extremely strong, causing the flow of time there to maintain a huge gap with the outside world.

At this moment, the air beside them suddenly cooled, and immediately after, Helian Boya Xuejian, dressed in white, also teleported and appeared beside Li Hao.

"Being able to defeat a Level Two Immortal Monarch Realm cultivator while in the True Immortal Realm, you are quite good."

Seeing Li Hao, Helian Boya Xuejian also revealed a faint smile on his face; this kind of smile seemed to be the mutual appreciation of geniuses.

"You flatter me."

Li Hao said modestly.

Chu Tianhuang answered Li Hao at this time, saying: "The Origin Secret Realm has nine levels, corresponding to different Immortal Seals. This is the ninth level, the closest distance to the origins of the Great Dao. Look above our heads; those are all origins of the Great Dao. If you were on other levels, there would be chaotic power interference, making it impossible to feel them so intuitively, and if you wanted to comprehend them, the difficulty would also increase."

"In that case, it is indeed not unreasonable that the strong become stronger."

Li Hao said.

The Nine-Flower Immortal Seal is already top-tier, and being able to get such a big bargain in the Origin Secret Realm, I fear the gap with others will be pulled even wider.

"But these are just ordinary Ten Thousand Daos, not the Nine Sequences. It is rare to come to the Origin Secret Realm; it is still more worthwhile to comprehend the Nine Sequence origins."

Helian Boya Xuejian beside him said.

Chu Tianhuang nodded and said: "If you want to comprehend the Nine Sequences, you have to go to the Four Great Origin Cities. This is just the Chaotic Reception City."

"The Four Great Origin Cities?"

Li Hao and Helian Boya Xuejian both looked at him curiously.

Chu Tianhuang did not hide anything either, appearing to have no airs and being extremely approachable, saying: "Legend has it that once an Immortal Emperor established the Five Great Origin Cities in the Origin Secret Realm, which are the Time-Space Origin City, the Five-Dao Origin City, the Form-Control Origin City, the Chaotic Origin City, and finally the City of Destiny!"

"Each Origin City allows one to comprehend the corresponding Origin Great Dao, but now there are only the Four Great Origin Cities. That City of Destiny disappeared countless ages ago and is impossible to fathom. Some say it was hidden by the True World Heavenly Dao to avoid being peered at by Immortals and Gods who might wantonly change their own destiny, and others say it was invaded by other forces, destroying the City of Destiny."

He shook his head and said: "But regardless, ever since the City of Destiny disappeared, it has been extremely difficult to cultivate the Destiny Great Dao in the world, and those strong individuals who once comprehended the Destiny Great Dao gradually disappeared after the City of Destiny vanished, their cultivation stagnating."

As expected of a royal family member, he knows many secrets. Li Hao listened carefully. It is said that time and space are kings, and destiny is supreme. In the face of destiny, all Daos are not worth worrying about.

If one can comprehend the Destiny Great Dao, one can reverse one's own heavenly fate. This power is extremely overbearing and terrifying, invincible in the same realm, without any suspense.

"Then are we going to the Origin City now?"

Helian Boya Xuejian's eyes flickered. He was born as a Chaotic Snow Spirit and comprehends the Water Dao origin. If he were to go to an Origin City, he should go to the Five-Dao Origin City.

"Yes."

Chu Tianhuang nodded and said: "This opportunity is rare, and comprehending the Nine Sequences is the most worthwhile. However, if you want to go to an Origin City, you must first pass the Heavenly Dao Bridge."

He seemed to know that Li Hao and Helian Boya Xuejian were going to ask, and said: "But before going to the Heavenly Dao Bridge, let's go meet the Old Grand Tutor first. For the next seven years, if you encounter any difficulties here, you can also find the Old Grand Tutor for help. Besides my Yan Chu, other six countries' Immortal Dynasties can also enter here. For example, that person, judging from his clothing, should be from the Jingtian Qin Xianchao."

Hearing his words, Li Hao and Helian Boya Xuejian both used their spiritual sense to pay attention to that silver-robed youth. The other party clearly also noticed them, but his eyes were extremely calm, revealing strong self-confidence.

Those who can reach this ninth-level Chaotic Reception City are all Nine-Flower Immortal Seals, and their strength cannot be underestimated; they are all top-notch elites in the same realm.

"I am really looking forward to it, seven years later."

A trace of fighting spirit and anticipation appeared in Helian Boya Xuejian's eyes. He suddenly thought of something, looked at Li Hao, and said: "You also use a sword. When your realm catches up to mine, we will have a chance to spar."

"Good."

Li Hao nodded. The other party's words clearly meant he also cultivates the Sword Dao.

Chu Tianhuang looked at Helian Boya Xuejian. He had previously invited this person, wanting to let him join his camp to lay a solid foundation for his future struggle for the throne.

But the other party refused; his ambition was not in Yan Chu.

At this time, he came to find Li Hao, also wanting to win Li Hao over. Although Li Hao is only in the True Immortal Realm, this kind of potential can be called top-notch in Yan Chu. If such a person could follow him, he would also add two points of certainty in competing with those monstrous older brothers in the future.

"It's been many years, and someone has come again."

"Everyone, come out and take a look. Take your own children back."

At this time, voices suddenly sounded in the city, some aged, some with hearty laughter, and others revealing an elegant and delicate nobility amidst their charm.

Only to see auras appearing from the Chaotic Reception City, and then, Li Hao and the three felt a blur before their eyes, and an old man with white hair and beard arrived before the three.

"Hmm?"

Seeing the three, the old man revealed a bit of surprise in his eyes and said: "Three people?"

Clearly, he did not expect that there could be three Nine-Flower Immortal Seals who could reach the Origin City this time.

"Long time no see, the national fortune of my Yan Chu has actually become prosperous."

The old man laughed, and soon noticed that Li Hao was in the True Immortal Realm, but what really made him care was that he felt Li Hao's soul was extremely young, and his soul lifespan did not seem high.

However, he did not point it out in public either, his gaze swept towards Chu Tianhuang, and he said: "May I ask which prince you are?"

"Chu Tianhuang, pays respects to the Old Grand Tutor." Chu Tianhuang bowed and paid respects immediately.

The white-haired old man was wearing a black Grand Tutor robe, raised his hand to support Chu Tianhuang, swept his gaze over Li Hao and Helian Boya Xuejian, and said: "Follow me."

With a flick of his sleeve, the three felt their vision shift, and when they appeared again, they had already arrived in a courtyard.

This courtyard looked a bit old, but the area was not small, and there were several pools inside, connected together like river ditches.

Li Hao actually saw Divine Water Dao fish in the pool. This is a spiritual object condensed from Dao rhymes. If used for cooking, it can improve the spirituality of comprehending the Dao.

There were three or five parasol trees in the courtyard, with fallen leaves all over the ground, and a chessboard, with fallen leaves floating on it. At this moment, the chess pieces were interlocked, but there was only one person sitting and playing.

"Let me tell you the rules of this Chaotic Reception City first."

The Old Grand Tutor sat on the Grand Tutor chair beside him, raised his hand and waved, and Li Hao immediately felt that the flow of time around him had become slow.

This courtyard forms a barrier secret realm by itself. Under this slow flow of time, they can talk for a long time without delaying the cultivation time outside.

It's just that, under the flow of time, the surrounding Dao rhymes became blurred, and the Divine Water Dao fish in those pools could clearly feel the pull after the time change, all swimming faster, appearing a bit irritable.

!

Carrying out daily activities under the flow of time, including fighting, has no effect, but cultivation requires comprehending the Great Dao, which will be affected by the change in the flow of time, making the sensing blurred. Therefore, it is impossible to use this to increase one's own cultivation duration; it is just a waste of time and adding to the soul lifespan.

"In the city, except for special occasions, private fighting is not allowed, otherwise the Chaotic City Lord will come forward and can directly expel you, and I cannot stop it either."

The Old Grand Tutor said: "But outside the city, you must be careful. There are princes from other Immortal Dynasties here, and there will also be some old guys who have received great merit rewards to practice here. If you encounter them, stay away immediately, otherwise even I may not be able to rescue you in time!"

Hearing this, the three nodded seriously.

"You all have Immortal Soldiers, right?"

The Old Grand Tutor looked at the three and said: "Fortunately, this Origin Secret Realm cannot be reached once you reach the Immortal King Realm, so the strongest here only have the cultivation of the Immortal Monarch Realm. If your Immortal Soldiers are of good enough quality, they can also protect you a little and block for a while."

"This is my Golden Talisman. You should wear it with you. If you encounter danger, crush it immediately, and I can arrive by your side instantly."

He handed out three Golden Talismans, and Li Hao and the three received them respectively.

"Why can't the Immortal King Realm reach here?"

Li Hao accepted the Golden Talisman and asked curiously.

The Old Grand Tutor glanced at Li Hao and said: "The Immortal King Realm condenses the Immortal Kingdom within the body, and the domain power of the Immortal Kingdom will be rejected by the Origin World."

Chu Tianhuang said to Li Hao: "Father asked the Old Grand Tutor to sit here because the Old Grand Tutor is an invincible existence in the Immortal Monarch Realm, so he can suppress it. If it were other Level Ten Immortal Monarch Realm cultivators, they might not be able to guard this place."

The Old Grand Tutor listened to the hidden flattery in his words and was quite pleased, laughing and saying: "As expected of a prince, you must be very clear about the things here. However, this statement is wrong. I cannot be considered invincible in the Immortal Monarch Realm. However, dealing with the vast majority of Immortal Monarch Realm cultivators should be no problem."

Chu Tianhuang laughed and said: "If the Old Grand Tutor does not claim to be invincible, who dares to claim to be invincible?"

The Old Grand Tutor waved his hand repeatedly, "This is too much, too much."

But he had a smile on his face, clearly very pleased.

Li Hao and Helian Boya Xuejian looked at each other. Although Chu Tianhuang had the intention of flattering, being able to make this monstrously talented prince secretly flatter him shows that this Old Grand Tutor is definitely not simple.

"The Old Grand Tutor is the God of War of our dynasty's Immortal Monarch Realm. To guard the Chaotic City of the Origin Secret Realm, he gave up breaking through to become an Immortal King, but even against an Immortal King Realm cultivator, he can contend for a while!"

Chu Tianhuang transmitted his voice to Li Hao at this time.

Hearing this, Li Hao's gaze towards this old man immediately became solemn.

"You came here to go to the Origin City, right? The Heavenly Dao Bridge is dangerous, you must be careful. I cannot help you there either; you can only rely on yourselves."

The Old Grand Tutor said to the three.

The three nodded.

"Go, the little guys on other levels are also rushing here. I still have to exhort them. Now there are few people on the Heavenly Dao Bridge, so you can go and break through without interference. When there are many people, it will be noisy."

The Old Grand Tutor said.

"Yes."

Chu Tianhuang nodded, turned to Helian Boya Xuejian and Li Hao, and said: "Together?"

"Okay."

Helian Boya Xuejian nodded.

Li Hao glanced at the chessboard beside him, feeling a bit of craving, wanting to sit down and play a game, but this comprehension is a rare opportunity after all. It is not too late to go to the Origin City to open his eyes first and come back to find this old man when he has time.

After seeing Li Hao and the three leave, the Old Grand Tutor stroked his white beard, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Actually three came at once. In previous years, it would be good to have one at a time, tsk tsk."

He sighed a few times, raised his hand and waved, reflecting his clone, and began to receive them on other levels as well.

And he himself was also preparing to leave the courtyard to go to another place to secretly look after the three. However, before leaving, he glanced at the chess game on the table and said:

"Old friend, I'll find you to play again when I come back."

On the other side of the game, there was no one on the chair, but there was a piece of white jade.

However, when his gaze glanced over the chess game, he suddenly gave a light exclamation. Only to see that in a tricky position, there was actually an extra black piece.

He couldn't help but blink, suspecting that he had misread it. After looking carefully again, he found that there was indeed an extra black piece, and the position of that move actually contained multiple hidden moves, making the situation where the white pieces were chasing suddenly become a dilemma.

"Old friend, is it you?"

The Old Grand Tutor's heart suddenly trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but look at the white jade.

But the white jade remained quiet and motionless.

The Old Grand Tutor's breathing became rapid, and his eye sockets were slightly red. He picked up the white jade to sense it carefully, infiltrating his spiritual sense into it, but still did not sense any changes.

Just like what he had seen every day for countless years.

A look of frustration suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he scratched his head.

Soon, he thought of something, raised his hand and waved, the flow of time around him became slow, and then reversed.

Immediately after, the figures of Li Hao and the other three appeared before his eyes again, but they were shadows.

In the reversal of time, the Old Grand Tutor saw that the youth among the three, when passing by the chessboard before leaving, sucked a chess piece with his fingertips and placed it on the chessboard, which was exactly that extra black piece.
