Chapter 740: The Charm of Nine-Sequence

"Senior, I still don't know how to address you?"

Before leaving, Li Hao asked.

The old man said: "I am the first divine tree of the Gold Dao Origin, nameless and surname-less. You can also call me Mr. Jin."

"Mr. Jin..." Li Hao muttered, it was really a simple and unadorned address.

He bowed slightly and said goodbye to Mr. Jin, and then turned and rushed towards the towering Origin City.

At this moment, the five-colored light covered the sky, the divine glow reflected, and the entire Origin City was filled with rich Great Dao luck. The five origins were revealed, as if they could be touched at will, making people feel the five daos deeply, and there was a possibility of sudden enlightenment at this time.

Li Hao's gaze swept towards the golden light in the center, with a complex and unclear look in his eyes.

Mr. Jin had fought with ancient demons 100,000 years ago, protected the entire city, and then voluntarily left the city, giving up his position. But when he wanted to enter again, he was blocked instead.

He didn't expect that the greed and selfishness of human nature could also be seen on this Origin Divine Tree.

Shaking his head, Li Hao flew towards the nearest Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

Mr. Jin's wish was not to return, nor did he ask him to intervene in this matter. With his current realm, he didn't have the ability to speak for the other party.

The so-called upholding justice is based on the foundation of power, otherwise justice can only kneel outside and wait.

As Li Hao arrived, he saw more than a dozen Water Dao practitioners gathered around this Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, coming from various dynasties, as well as heaven's pride from the Heavenly Palace.

Li Hao's arrival didn't attract anyone's attention, but Li Hao saw a familiar figure climbing on the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, rushing towards the peak of the divine tree; it was Helian Boya Biya Xuejian.

However, beside Helian Boya Biya Xuejian, there were two other figures, also going upstream along a waterfall flowing outside the tree trunk of the divine tree.

That waterfall kept falling, but Li Hao could see that it was not a real waterfall, but the Great Dao power displayed by the Water Dao Origin, mostly to test the comprehenders.

"It's those three guys again. This time, I'm afraid they are going to touch that Divine Tree Dao Fruit!"

"No way, their Water Dao comprehension is far above ours. I'm afraid they all have Fourth Level, or even Fifth Level realms!"

"I'm satisfied to be able to perch on the tree."

"No ambition."

Under the tree, some people from the same immortal dynasty exchanged in low voices.

Li Hao heard their words, and his eyes changed slightly. Fourth Level, Fifth Level?

The Great Dao Origins he had reached the Fourth Level realm so far were only Space and the Gold Dao Origin he had just comprehended not long ago.

The rest of the Great Dao, some were Second Level, some were Third Level.

Li Hao looked at Helian Boya Biya Xuejian. With his feeling for that youth, the other party's Water Dao comprehension, even if it didn't reach the Fifth Level, had mostly touched the threshold of the Fifth Level.

He suddenly felt a bit tense in his heart. With his Dao Realm comprehension, he was afraid he might not be able to compete in this spiritual explosion.

Only the Gold Dao and Space Great Dao did he have hope of impacting.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why Helian Boya Biya Xuejian wanted to come to this Five Dao Origin City. In terms of Water Dao Origin comprehension, he was supreme among the Yan Chu Qin Xianchao, and no one in the younger generation could compare to him. Coming here was the right choice.

Practicing many is not as good as practicing one precisely.

However, Li Hao had already walked this path. What's more, the Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal he had just condensed had greatly improved his combat power, but he had no advantage in this Divine Tree spiritual explosion competition.

Thinking was thinking, but Li Hao held the thought of being born into this world just now—since he was here, he couldn't make the trip in vain.

His figure flickered, and he immediately rushed towards this Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

Swoosh!

When he entered the divine light coverage of the Divine Tree, Li Hao immediately felt that his body was like being covered by a layer of water film. Here, he could clearly feel the aura of the Water Dao Origin, but his perception of other Great Daos became blurred and weak.

Li Hao realized that this was testing his Water Dao Origin comprehension.

He didn't hide it, and with the Second Level Water Dao Origin, climbed towards the Divine Tree.

Li Hao's actions also attracted the attention of others. When they felt the Water Dao Origin aura and cultivation base emitted by Li Hao, it couldn't help but cause bursts of mocking laughter.

"Look, a guy in the True Immortal Realm actually came here to try his luck."

"Look quickly, a guy in the True Immortal Realm is actually coming here to try his luck too."

In the divine glow of the Divine Tree, except for Helian Boya Biya Xuejian and the other two, everyone else started climbing the Divine Tree, all climbing to the position of the tree vines, while Li Hao was just rushing at this moment, and even the tree vines bulging from the ground were at a very high position above his head.

Here, the power of the Return to Ruins Extreme Realm also lost its channel. Li Hao found that he couldn't even teleport in space, and could only rely on the Water Dao Origin, borrowing the invisible turbulence in the void, and himself like a fish, swimming upwards desperately.

Li Hao's Water Dao Origin comprehension was obtained through Painting Dao improvement. The comprehension brought at that time also included Space Dao and Earth Dao. Perhaps because of the relationship of taking care of three kinds of Great Dao Origins, the Water Dao and Earth Dao Origins were only at the Second Level realm.

True Immortal Realm Ninth Level, comprehending the Second Level Nine-Sequence Great Dao Origin, could already be considered heaven's pride, but it was not top-grade. Reaching the Third Level was top-grade, and reaching the Fourth Level was an extreme monster.

And in this Origin Secret Realm, heaven's pride was just a threshold, the most ordinary. Li Hao's ability shown at this moment was obviously at the bottom level.

"It seems there's no play."

Li Hao mobilized all his Water Dao Origin comprehension, climbing along the counter-current, but the continuously rushing Water Dao Origin kept pushing his body back, and he had already reached his limit before reaching the position of the tree vines.

Li Hao sighed secretly in his heart, wanting to give up, but just as he withdrew his strength, suddenly the impact of the Water Dao Origin around his body receded and weakened like a tide.

Li Hao was stunned, a little surprised, and his body suddenly became light.

"This?"

Li Hao looked up, but saw that others were still struggling to fly upwards in various places, and some were already blushing.

When Li Hao was puzzled, a gentle force, like an invisible gentle hand, lifted his body and brought his body flying lightly towards the top of the Divine Tree.

Soon, the tree vines appeared under his feet, becoming farther and farther away, and his body rose continuously along the vertical counter-current at the tree trunk.

Seeing this scene, those who had mocked and ridiculed Li Hao earlier couldn't help but open their eyes wide, finding it hard to believe.

At this moment, Li Hao had already exceeded their height, and they could only feel a group of rich Water Dao Origin wrapped around Li Hao, unable to sense what level it was, but it was extremely profound, surpassing the level they comprehended.

"What's the situation?"

"That guy in the True Immortal Realm, his Water Dao Origin realm is actually higher than mine?"

"Who is that kid, where did he come from!"

Everyone else also noticed Li Hao, some with shock in their eyes, some with narrowed eyes.

Li Hao was also a group of confusion in his heart at this moment, completely not knowing what had happened.

Just as he rose to the branches and entered the lush leaves of the Divine Tree, he suddenly heard a gentle and light voice in his ears, reaching the depths of his soul:

"Young man, what is your name?"

Li Hao was slightly stunned, looked up, but saw no one around him. He thought of Mr. Jin, and suddenly had some realization in his heart, responding with his soul:

"Are you the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree?"

Perhaps it was the relationship of the things Mr. Jin told, which made him have a preconceived notion. At this moment, he felt a bit strange about this gentle voice.

"Not bad."

The Divine Tree's voice was extremely gentle, "It's been a long time since I've seen Nine-Flower Immortal Seals. Do you also want the Divine Tree Dao Fruit? If you can conclude a contract with me, I can grant you one, and let you drink my sweet dew!"

"Sweet dew?"

Li Hao was stunned, not expecting the other party to actually detect his Immortal Seal.

"Nine-Sequence Origin, Emperor Realm posture, the Divine Tree Dao Fruit should have one for you. We existences were originally established by that old gentleman to build this city, used to bless all generations."

That gentle voice said.

Li Hao was stunned, suddenly feeling that the other party was a bit different from what he had imagined earlier.

"What is concluding a contract for?" Li Hao asked back with his soul.

"Heavenly Dao contract conclusion. When you become an Emperor, your soul shadow will appear on me, guarding this Origin City for me, and I will also provide you with cultivation assistance. The Divine Tree Dao Fruit only has the greatest effect when taken for the first time, but my Origin Sweet Dew can be drunk once every 10,000 years. The effect is not inferior to the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, but it can continuously bring you Dao Realm comprehension."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree transmitted sound.

Li Hao was a little silent. This practice felt very similar to Mr. Jin.

At the same time, he also felt the rarity and power of the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal, even the Origin Divine Tree was willing to pay for this potential of his in advance.

"If I can't become an Emperor?" Li Hao asked.

"You are a Nine-Flower Immortal Seal, with Emperor Realm aptitude, but the probability of truly becoming an Emperor Realm expert is still extremely small. It just means that you are barely qualified to step into that threshold. Whether you can step in is unknown. The road in between is too long, and there are too many changes. The possibility of falling halfway is actually higher!"

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said: "But only the weak like the stable exchange that can be seen, because they can't afford to lose."

"However, the scarcest things in this world often carry many uncertain factors. To me, this is an adventurous thing. Perhaps the ten Nine-Flower Immortal Seals I meet will not be able to become Emperors and fall halfway, but if I am lucky, as long as one becomes an Emperor, the hundred-fold sacrifice I pay is worth it."

Li Hao's heart shook, and he suddenly felt the charm and terror of the Emperor Realm existence.

But it was also true, Immortal Emperors are existences that suppress an era, a legendary myth, representing peak power that hundreds of millions of immortal gods cannot touch and compare with!

"Are you willing?"

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said softly.

Li Hao's mind floated with Mr. Jin's words. He hesitated slightly and responded: "Willing."

Just now he had already realized that only strength can talk about right and wrong. Although he had the Nine-Flower Immortal Seal now and was nearly invincible in the same realm, he was still not enough in front of the Immortal Monarch Realm, especially those high-position Immortal Monarch Realm experts, not to mention that above the Immortal Monarch Realm there was the Immortal King Realm, which could crush him with a wave of a hand.

A True Immortal talking about right and wrong with an Immortal King is like an ant talking about weight with an elephant, not knowing what is what.

Following Li Hao's response, a gentle force suddenly rose around his body, bringing Li Hao to rise continuously. In the blink of an eye, he approached the top three, Helian Boya Biya Xuejian and others.

The three also seemed to notice the movement behind them and turned to look. Helian Boya Biya Xuejian saw Li Hao, and surprise appeared in his eyes. Immediately after, there was a strong fighting intent:

"Your Water Dao Origin is actually comprehended so deeply, I didn't notice it before."

Li Hao coughed slightly, blushing, but didn't explain.

"In terms of Water Dao Origin aptitude, you are the only one I have ever seen in my life, stronger than me. I hope to have the opportunity to spar with you before the Southern Region Battle!"

Helian Boya Biya Xuejian directly issued a battle invitation to Li Hao, with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes.

Li Hao saw that look, feeling very familiar, just like himself seeing a chess-playing opponent.

He could understand Helian Boya Biya Xuejian's mood, but knew that he was afraid he didn't have the ability to fight the other party now. After all, the gap between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Monarch Realm was too big, and Helian Boya Biya Xuejian was by no means a heaven's pride like Chu Chu Tianzheng could compare to.

"This... I'm afraid I have no time."

Li Hao declined.

Helian Boya Biya Xuejian frowned slightly, looked at Li Hao deeply, and said: "Then we can only meet at the Southern Region Battle. I hope to fight with you."

Li Hao smiled bitterly, bowed to him and said: "There will be geniuses from all sides by then, enough to make you happy."

"That's different."

Helian Boya Biya Xuejian shook his head, looked at Li Hao, but didn't say anything more, and said to the Water Dao Origin: "Many thanks, senior, for granting the treasure. When my Water Dao Origin reaches the Tenth Level, I will definitely water your divine body!"

The Water Dao Origin woman heard this, and a satisfied and relieved smile appeared on her face, waving her hand: "Then I'll wait for you. You go and cultivate first, time is precious here."

Helian Boya Biya Xuejian nodded, and then his figure disappeared like water waves.

After Helian Boya Biya Xuejian left, the Water Dao Origin woman looked at Li Hao, her eyes brighter than just now.

She said softly: "Fortunately, I have a Divine Tree Dao Fruit left, otherwise I really don't know who to give it to this time, I'm afraid it would be a grievance to him."

Li Hao heard this, and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue in his heart. Listening to the other party's meaning, I don't know if it's high emotional intelligence, or if there is only one, and it would really be given to him.

If it were true, then the charm of this Nine-Flower Immortal Seal would be too great.

"He is a rare Water Dao Origin monster. I can feel extremely pure Water Dao Origin power from him, including his primordial spirit, which contains natural and pure Water Dao power. However, it is extremely difficult to walk a single path to the Emperor Realm..."

Water Dao Origin sighed, examined Li Hao, and said:

"Your Water Dao Origin is only at the Second Level realm. This Divine Tree Dao Fruit should allow your strength to leap and improve."

Li Hao nodded. He had taken the Gold Dao Divine Tree Dao Fruit earlier, and his Gold Dao Origin was at the Fourth Level.

Now, Water Dao Origin, he believed that it could mostly be cultivated to the Fourth Level realm.

This was already the limit for the True Immortal Realm.

"My second brother and younger sister don't know about your existence yet. If they knew, they would mostly send you Dao Fruit too. I will notify them now, you just wait here."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said.

Li Hao heard this, and couldn't help but be a little flattered.

This means that he doesn't have to do anything, just wait here, and they will send the Divine Tree Dao Fruit over?

If he took them all, wouldn't that mean his five origins could all reach the Fourth Level realm!

Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but get excited. The five origins complement each other. If they all reach the Fourth Level, he didn't know what kind of wonderful changes would happen, but there was no doubt that the increase in combat power would be extremely great!

"Now, let's conclude the contract."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said. She raised a finger, like a soft, white, tender green onion, and tapped the void lightly. Accompanied by a ding-dong sound of water waves, Li Hao felt a vast and profound power surrounding him, touching his soul.

He had some realization in his heart, his soul touched lightly, and in an instant, Li Hao had a feeling of his soul merging into a kind of extremely soft ocean.

And opposite, the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree also closed her eyes lightly.

For a long time, Li Hao felt the extremely soft feeling disappear. He opened his eyes and felt a weak connection between himself and the Origin Divine Tree in front of him.

"When you take the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, I will give you the sweet dew. You can cultivate here."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said.

Li Hao nodded.

At this moment, the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao and suddenly said: "Did you go outside the city earlier?"

Li Hao's eyes tightened, but his face remained unchanged, and said: "That's right."

"So, you have seen our eldest brother?"

"Hmm?"

Li Hao heard her address, his eyes moved, and he looked at her, but saw no cruelty in her eyes, but melancholy and sadness.

"I smell the aura of the eldest brother on you. You have eaten the Divine Tree Dao Fruit he gave you. It seems that the eldest brother also thinks highly of you. After all, he is outside the city. To condense the Dao Fruit, it takes 30,000 years to have one..."

She whispered, with a few sighs.

Li Hao was a little surprised. Listening to Mr. Jin's words, these Origin Divine Trees seemed to have become hostile to him, preventing him from entering the city, but now this demeanor, is it for him to see, or is there another hidden secret?

While Li Hao was thinking, the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said: "Did the eldest brother talk to you about us?"

Li Hao's thoughts turned, and he said: "Didn't say much."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree was slightly silent, and then said: "Child, I have lived for countless years, seen countless people, and seen countless human hearts. There is no need for you to lie in front of me."

Li Hao was stunned, pretending to be confused, and said: "Lie?"

"I mentioned that the eldest brother is outside the city, and your face is not surprised at all. It can be seen that the eldest brother has already told you many things. Otherwise, when you suddenly heard that the eldest brother is outside the city, wouldn't you have questions and confusion in your heart?"

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said, her azure beautiful eyes, like a deep ocean, staring at Li Hao.

Li Hao's scalp tightened, feeling a little numb. These old guys who have lived for countless years are indeed meticulous.

Although he was a person in two lives, the two added together were only a hundred years of soul life, and the heaven's pride fighting in this Origin Secret Realm, some might have been reincarnated four or five times, having experienced more than him.

"Mr. Jin did say some things." Li Hao had to admit.

"What did the eldest brother say?"

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, with a ray of hope in her eyes.

Li Hao thought for a while and said: "Mr. Jin protected this Origin City 100,000 years ago, was seriously injured in the battle with ancient demons, and voluntarily left the Origin City later. But after his injuries were slightly healed, he wanted to return again..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the other party, feeling there was no need to continue.

After all, the other party should know better what happened.

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree heard Li Hao's words, but the ray of hope in her eyes gradually dimmed. She said softly: "Did the eldest brother tell you that we prevented him from entering the city again, sharing the nourishment in the Origin City?"

Li Hao didn't speak, defaulting to the answer.

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree sighed lightly, smiled, and said: "It's not wrong to say so."

Li Hao was stunned, staring at her.

"The eldest brother protected us back then and almost withered his soul, and the tree seeds withered. Without him, there would be no Five Dao Origin City today." Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said in a low voice.

Li Hao saw her low expression, and doubt appeared in his eyes, and said: "Since senior knows, then why?"

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the surroundings seemed to become much brighter. She said softly:

"The eldest brother was injured once, and cannot be injured again."

"100,000 years ago he protected us, 100,000 years later, it is our turn to protect him. The ancient demons are not destroyed, Immortal Emperors fall one after another, and sooner or later there will be a fierce battle, affecting the Origin City again."

She stared at Li Hao and said: "If the eldest brother returns to the Origin City, he will stay in this city. It is easy to enter, but difficult to leave!"

Li Hao was stunned, his face changed, and he suddenly realized the misunderstanding.

"The eldest brother feels that we are ungrateful and refuse to let him enter the city again to share the nourishment of the Origin City, but we are five brothers and sisters!"

"In this world, except for the Five Absolute Immortal Emperor who created and gestated us, we are the closest to each other!"

"Jiang Jiang Ziyang? Resources? What do these count for? If we cherish them, we would crush the Divine Tree Dao Fruit and bury it under our own heels to nourish ourselves."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree had water mist in her eyes, but a self-deprecating smile on her face.

Li Hao felt a slight shock in his heart, and said: "Since this is the case, why don't you tell him directly?"

"Tell him?"

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, the smile on the corner of her mouth curled up, and said: "Do you have brothers and sisters? Or do you have parents?"

Li Hao was stunned, and a ray of light that was hard to describe flashed in his eyes, but soon sank again.

"Once had."

He said in a low voice, but his voice was several degrees lower than before.

"That's right."

Water Dao Origin Divine Tree didn't notice Li Hao's emotional change, but said to herself: "You should know that if you have someone to protect who encounters danger, you will also stand up, right? The eldest brother is such a person. If you tell him, he will desperately enter the city again. Even if he doesn't enter the city, he will accompany us to guard to the end and fight to the end!"

She said, with nostalgia in her eyes, and a smile on her cheeks reflected by the light.

"He is such a person."

"So."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said, her deep blue, beautiful eyes like a profound ocean, gazing at Li Hao.

Li Hao also came back to his senses at this moment, but felt his blood boiling and surging, having an unspeakable feeling.

He thought of the ancient voice under the golden tree outside the city, and the promise he made:

If you become an Immortal Emperor, protect this Origin World!

A city apart, 100,000 years of estrangement, but they were both guarding each other with their own hearts! ===== CHAPTER 741 =====

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, a trace of hope in her eyes.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jin protected this Origin City one hundred thousand years ago and was severely injured in battle with the Ancient Demon. Later, he voluntarily left the Origin City, but after his injuries healed slightly, he wanted to return again..."

Speaking to this point, he glanced at the other party, feeling there was no need to continue.

After all, the other party should know better what happened.

Hearing Li Hao's words, the trace of hope in the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree's eyes gradually dimmed, and she said softly, "Did Big Brother tell you that we stopped him from coming back in?"

Li Hao did not speak, answering with silence.

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree let out a soft breath, smiled, and said, "That is not wrong, strictly speaking."

Li Hao was slightly stunned, gazing at her intently.

"Big Brother nearly exhausted his soul and his tree seed was extinguished to protect us back then. Without him, there would be no five-path Origin City today," the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree said in a low voice.

Seeing her dejected expression, Li Hao's eyes showed confusion, and he said, "Since you know, Senior, then why?"

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, a smile appearing at the corners of her mouth, and the surroundings seemed to become much brighter as she said softly:

"Big Brother was injured once; he cannot be injured again."

"He protected us one hundred thousand years ago; one hundred thousand years later, it is our turn to protect him. If that Ancient Demon is not destroyed and Immortal Emperors fall one after another, there will sooner or later be a fierce battle that will again affect the Origin City."

She gazed at Li Hao and said, "If Big Brother returns to the Origin City, he will remain in this city. It is easy to enter, but difficult to leave!"

Li Hao was stunned, his expression changing involuntarily, suddenly realizing the misunderstanding in this.

"Big Brother thinks we are ungrateful and refused to let him enter the city again to share the nourishment within the Origin City, but we are five siblings!"

"In this world, apart from the Great Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor who created and nurtured us, we are the closest to each other!"

"Jiang Jiang Ziyang? Resources? What do these count for? If we cherished them, we would have crushed the Divine Tree Dao Fruits and buried them under our own roots to nourish ourselves."

There seemed to be mist in the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree's eyes, but her face carried self-mockery.

Li Hao's heart trembled slightly, and he said, "Since that is the case, why don't you tell him directly?"

"Tell him?"

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said, "Do you have siblings? Or do you have parents?"

Li Hao was slightly stunned, a light that was difficult to describe suddenly flashing in his eyes; several faces appeared in his mind, but they quickly sank away.

"I once had."

He said in a low voice, but his tone was several degrees lower than before.

"Then that is it."

The Water Dao Origin Divine Tree did not notice Li Hao's emotional change, but continued on her own: "You should know that if someone you protect encounters danger, you would also step forward. Big Brother is that kind of person. If we told him, he would disregard everything to enter the city again. Even if he didn't enter the city, he would accompany us to guard until the end, to fight until the end!"

As she spoke, her eyes revealed nostalgia, and her cheeks carried a smile illuminated by radiance.

"He is that kind of person."

"Therefore..."

The smile on her face faded, and her eyes became calm. "We can only treat him this way. When Big Brother spoke to you, he must have hated us, hated us for being selfish and greedy!"

Li Hao also regained his composure at this moment, but he felt as if the blood in his whole body was boiling and surging, with an indescribable feeling.

He thought of the aged voice under the golden tree outside the city, and the promise he had made:

If you become an Immortal Emperor, protect this Origin World!

Separated by a city, a hundred-thousand-year estrangement, but they were both using their own hearts to protect each other!
