Chapter 825: True Dragon Perfect Match, Sword Pool Winning the Laurel

Years Painting Realm!

Accompanied by the flow of time and space, the heaven and earth around Li Hao had changed their appearance, turning into an infinitely colorful painting scene where time and space were constantly falling and surging.

The clouds and mist in the sky surged and changed, the great lake under his feet folded and surged. In this void, it seemed that many figures coming and going were floating, either flying past or stopping here.

The mountain flowers by the lake bloomed and fell, decayed and flourished, cycling several times, the tide rising and falling!

Such a strange scene, compared to the thousands of dragons coiling around Painting Immortal Long Yun's side, appeared extremely shocking. Although there were no dragon figures coiling in it, the feeling of the passing of years and the reincarnation of time and space was better than the scene of thousands of dragons galloping.

Compared to it, the galloping of thousands of dragons appeared too monotonous and lost its luster.

Changes in the world, who can defeat the years?!

"Time origin, time and space years, what a strong painting skill, what a strong painting Dao..."

In the crowd, a young girl figure with hair like a waterfall stood silently. She stared at the years painting realm rippling around the young man, her face full of solemnity, and a few points of shock.

The other party's painting skill actually exceeded Painting Immortal Long Yun's.

It is also a painting realm, but obviously, this young man is a step better!

"He actually also mastered the painting realm..."

"This is a realm that can only be mastered by comprehending the true meaning of painting Dao. His painting realm can even be used to kill enemies!"

"So strong, Su Su Muqing just said he only has a hundred years of soul age? Just kidding, who has such a painting Dao realm in a hundred years, let alone he is still an Immortal Monarch..."

"It must be that Miss Su said it wrong, or saw it wrong. There is a misunderstanding, I will absolutely not believe it."

"No matter what his soul age is, it must be said that this painting realm is too beautiful. Every moment, there are infinite changes, as if people can watch it forever!"

"That's right, it's too amazing!"

"Don't you think that in his painting realm, there is a sorrow of the passing of years? I seem to see the reincarnation of life, see the destination of all things in the world, besides time and space origin, there are other Great Dao origin rhymes in it..."

On the lake, the women were all staring at Li Hao's years painting realm, completely sinking and falling into it, feeling the passing of years inside, their hearts surging.

"His painting realm..."

Su Su Muqing stared at this scene, unable to believe it for a while, but this scene was so real.

She was somewhat lost. The other party actually had such exquisite and terrifying painting skills. Entering the realm with painting, how is it possible?

She was a cultivation prodigy. In painting Dao, she also had extremely high comprehension. Since she became famous in a battle a hundred years ago, she was famous in the Gusu Imperial Star. She also had leisure time to do things other than cultivation, such as coming into contact with painting Dao.

She practiced painting Dao for sixty years, sixty years of grinding ink, and only barely reached the level of transcending the extraordinary and becoming holy. She knew that painting Dao is a small path, but if you want to comprehend it to an extremely high and deep realm, you also need to go all out.

Beside her, Su Su Wanqing's eyes were lost. For some reason, she felt a kind of sorrow that could not be concealed from the other party's painting realm, as if it were the sadness of losing something.

What kind of painful thing is buried in that young man's heart?

She thought in her heart, becoming more and more lost.

The lake fell into silence in an instant. Lanqin and Jiang Jiang Huanhuan were also full of shock, immersed in it.

Opposite Li Hao, the originally cold face of Painting Immortal Long Yun had changed at this time. Her eyes revealed shock. The space origin divine tree scroll earlier was actually not the other party's peak work?

Painting realm, the other party actually also mastered the painting realm, and this painting realm contains Nine Orders origin, with time and space as the main, that feeling of years decaying is so strong that even she couldn't help but fall into it. This is absolutely a rare treasure-level painting, and the viewer can touch the depths of their own soul.

Painting Immortal Long Yun took a deep breath, unwilling to admit defeat just like this. She said in a deep voice:

"Since they are both painting realms, let's compete."

As she spoke, her painting realm expanded violently, extending and crushing toward Li Hao's painting realm.

Thousands of dragons roared and galloped, rushing out from the ancient barbaric great lake after rendering, thousands of dragons flying together, shaking heaven and earth!

This scene shocked everyone on the lake awake, making their hearts shake, their whole body's blood boiling, stimulated by that dragon roar.

Such a magnificent painting scene can be said to be breathtaking, but as thousands of dragons galloped into Li Hao's painting realm, another extreme scene emerged.

Those thousands of dragons with great momentum seemed to plunge into a frying pan, and in an instant, their skin and scales fell off, flesh and blood splashed, their bodies constantly shrank, and their whole body's immortal power was pulled out like silk, gradually disintegrating and collapsing!

That years painting realm with infinite colors vibrated with a desolate and sad aura, drowning the thousands of dragons.

Soon, the thousands of dragons collapsed one by one, disappearing into the years painting realm, making that painting realm look even more desolate.

"All things in the world will pass away..."

Li Hao looked at Painting Immortal Long Yun's broken painting realm, his calm eyes carrying a few points of deep pain. The figure of the young girl who broke at the Supreme's feet flashed in his heart:

"Your painting realm, ultimately cannot defeat the passing of years, and cannot become eternal!"

Painting Immortal Long Yun's body trembled, the painting realm shattered, and her painting heart was also hit and affected, her face flushed, and then she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Hearing the young man's words, she couldn't help but raise her head, carrying a few points of unwillingness, saying:

"Eternal? You say it lightly. Unless I create a boundary with painting Dao, can it be called eternal? Could it be that your meaning is that painting Dao below the boundary is not as good as you?!"

Li Hao didn't answer, but the indifferent expression of his deep pain being restrained had already responded to Painting Immortal Long Yun.

Painting Immortal Long Yun's expression was ugly, but the collapse of the painting realm, plus her own painting Dao appreciation ability, had to admit in the depths of her heart that, except for the boundary, it seemed that no other painting realm could surpass the young man before her.

This is already the extreme and peak of the painting realm!

To surpass such a painting realm, with her cognition, she couldn't imagine it.

"I lost."

Painting Immortal Long Yun was somewhat dejected, not continuing to be stubborn. Since the outcome was decided, she admitted defeat.

Hearing her words, Li Hao also withdrew the painting realm. Being in this years painting realm, he couldn't help but think of the broken young girl, and he would feel sad in his heart.

Thinking of the passing, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at the figure in the crowd.

Fortunately, the other party's other reincarnation body still exists.

This time, he will not let her body be injured and broken again.

Seeing Li Hao's gaze, Su Su Muqing, who was staring blankly, came back to her senses, her expression changed immediately, and she turned her head away.

She felt waves in her heart. The other party's painting realm made her feel admiration and love in the depths of her heart, but the rascal appearance of the other party pestering her made her feel annoyed.

Clearly having such talent, why is the Dao heart so inferior, only coveting power and bloodline.

She thought of the figure who grew up as a childhood sweetheart, and the complexity in her heart soon disappeared. Compared with that dazzling figure, all men in the world would lose their luster.

What if the painting Dao is strong, it's just a small trick.

Although she loved painting Dao, she naturally understood in the depths of her heart that cultivation is the orthodox Great Dao!

With Painting Immortal Long Yun's admission of defeat, this painting Dao competition also came to an end.

The women on the lake were all shocked and discussed, but witnessing it with their own eyes, the gap was obvious, and no one questioned the result, just shocked that besides Painting Immortal Long Yun, there was actually such a top-notch existence in painting skill in Gusu City.

For a time, many noble women inquired about Li Hao's identity, wanting to invite the other party to their homes privately to teach painting Dao.

Only after whispering and inquiring did they learn that the other party seemed to be related to the Su family.

"The previous words were my mistake. You are right, those paintings of mine are indeed difficult to be elegant."

Painting Immortal Long Yun came to Li Hao, bowed her head slightly, and apologized to Li Hao.

Li Hao saw her posture and felt somewhat embarrassed, saying: "I just commented casually, don't take it to heart. Whose early works are not so mediocre?"

Painting Immortal Long Yun heard this, but her mouth twitched. After all that, her paintings were still too mediocre.

However, she also knew that Li Hao was right. Those paintings exhibited here were just for those noble young ladies who had just come into contact with painting Dao to appreciate. The techniques on them were enough for them to learn.

The two chatted for a few words, which could be considered a reconciliation. Painting Immortal Long Yun immediately invited Li Hao to the main building to appreciate paintings and communicate. Li Hao's gaze swept toward the young girl in the crowd. He came here just to accompany the other party, not really to paint.

Although painting Dao is something he loves from the bottom of his heart, just like playing chess and fishing.

But for that broken look at his feet, he could restrain and endure it.

Painting Immortal Long Yun followed Li Hao's gaze and was somewhat surprised. She was older, twenty thousand years, and could be considered knowledgeable. She saw the deep tenderness and ultimate emotion hidden in Li Hao's eyes at a glance.

She understood in her heart and said softly: "Then I won't disturb you, Young Master. I am from the Murong family. This is my jade plaque. In the future, if you need anything, you can come to the Murong family and show this object to find me."

She handed a jade plaque to Li Hao and formed a good relationship.

Li Hao didn't refuse, thanked her, and then bid farewell to her, coming to Su Su Muqing's side.

Su Su Muqing heard the whispers around her, as well as the exchange between Painting Immortal Long Yun and Li Hao, her expression constantly changing. The more eye-catching the young man before her was, the more annoyed she felt for some reason.

"Don't think that by doing this, I will look at you differently!"

She said coldly, leaving a sentence, and returned to the main building by herself.

Su Su Wanqing saw Li Hao holding the jade pendant. Besides the Su family, the Murong family was the top great clan in Gusu City.

And besides these three great families, the Murong family was the first-class great clan, and the ones closer to them were the Lan family and several other noble families.

"Your talent is amazing, and your talent is so outstanding, it shouldn't be like this."

Su Su Wanqing sighed lightly.

Li Hao glanced at her and didn't speak.

Before he could chase after Su Su Muqing, a figure with hair like a waterfall floated over, accompanied by bursts of fragrance, refreshing.

"How should I address you, Young Master?"

A young girl with hair like a waterfall, as if stepping on the ripples in the lake, floated to Li Hao's side, and a gentle voice sounded.

"Lin Lin Jinrou?"

Su Su Wanqing saw the visitor, her expression changed slightly. The other party was the cousin of the Emperor's son who had a marriage contract with Su Su Muqing, and was also a top prodigy of the Lin family, famous with her.

Li Hao turned to look at the visitor, only glancing at the face that amazed the world, and said: "General Hao Tian."

"Young Master General Hao Tian, I am Lin Lin Jinrou from the Lin family. Can I invite you to be a guest at home and teach me painting Dao?"

Lin Lin Jinrou said softly and directly, her eyes staring at Li Hao.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, "Sorry, I don't have time."

After speaking, he brushed the other party aside and chased after Su Su Muqing.

Lin Lin Jinrou was stunned. This was the first time someone had refused her.

Even if she invited Painting Immortal Long Yun to her family to teach her privately, the other party wouldn't refuse and lose the Lin family's face.

"Su Wanqing, do you know him?"

Lin Lin Jinrou withdrew her gaze from Li Hao's back and looked at Su Su Wanqing beside her.

Su Su Wanqing didn't expect the other party to be interested in Li Hao. Thinking of the painting realm Li Hao had just displayed, it was understandable. She sighed lightly. In private, her relationship with Lin Lin Jinrou was okay, but at this moment, it concerned Su Su Muqing's purity, so she said lightly:

"He is temporarily staying at our Su family, and may live for a hundred years."

"Temporarily staying?" Lin Lin Jinrou's eyes moved, asking: "What is his relationship with your Su family?"

Su Su Wanqing smiled bitterly and didn't answer. If this news spread, I'm afraid the Gusu Imperial Star would be shocked.

In the main building.

Li Hao followed Su Su Muqing. Painting Immortal Long Yun looked for Li Hao to discuss painting Dao, and Su Su Muqing took the initiative to find Painting Immortal Long Yun for advice.

Painting Immortal Long Yun saw Li Hao on the side, although she had no intention of talking much with Su Su Muqing, wanting to take the opportunity to discuss with Li Hao, but the other party was a Su family Wang Zhenfeng after all, so she didn't dare to offend her, so she had to explain patiently to her.

Li Hao sat on the side, just listening silently to their conversation, his eyes looking at Su Su Muqing's cheek, his thoughts drifting.

This appearance naturally also attracted the attention of many other noble young ladies in the main building, and they all whispered and discussed.

Since Su Su Muqing became famous, she had never lacked pursuers, but since announcing her relationship with that Lin family Emperor's son, those pursuers had all disappeared.

After all, no one dared to compete with that Emperor's son for a fiancée.

Wang Zhenfeng matches True Dragon, it was a match made in heaven.

I didn't expect that now someone would have ideas about Su Su Muqing again, pursuing her.

As time passed, Su Su Muqing asked for advice on several doubts in her painting Dao, and hearing the whispers around her, she finally couldn't bear it.

She glared at Li Hao, bid farewell to Painting Immortal Long Yun, and got up to return to the Su family.

Li Hao saw that she was leaving, and immediately followed.

The two left, and there was more discussion in the main building.

"What is the identity of that Young Master General Hao Tian, actually daring to publicly pursue Su Su Muqing."

"Look at his affectionate eyes, they are almost pulling silk, feeling as if he loves Su Su Muqing very much."

"Nonsense, if I were a man, I would also like Su Su Muqing, but it's a pity, she belongs to that Emperor's son True Dragon!"

"If the Lin family learns of this news, I don't know if that Young Master General Hao Tian will be unlucky. It's a pity, his painting Dao is so amazing, it's really amazing!"

"Su young lady said he only has a hundred years of soul age. Is this true or false? If it's true, he must also have top-notch figures behind him, even an Emperor, so he might not be afraid of the Lin family."

The crowd whispered, they were all noble young ladies, smart in mind, and also saw that Li Hao's background was somewhat different.

Su Su Wanqing saw Su Su Muqing return early and didn't say hello to her, somewhat helpless, but she also loved painting Dao, so she stayed behind.

Lin Lin Jinrou learned that Li Hao had left, and hearing the whispers around her, light flickered in her eyes. That young man actually intended to compete with elder brother Lin Zhe Yu Xuan for Su Su Muqing?

……

Gusu Imperial Star, Lin family.

In a majestic and brilliant residence that was not inferior to the Su family.

In the deep courtyard, on a cultivation array cast from Chaos Immortal Stone, a figure in green clothes sat, his face like jade, handsome and extraordinary.

Beside him, dragon energy coiled, and dragon shapes of red color coiled around. This was not a special immortal technique, but the immortal power condensed in his body.

He practiced the Lin family's top immortal technique, and the immortal power condensed into Candle Dragon immortal power in his body. The same share of immortal power was a hundred times better than ordinary Immortal Monarch Realm, invincible among peers, and could easily crush across four or five realms!

Other prodigies, being able to condense immortal power into mist, and then into liquid, was already the level of a top prodigy of a great clan, and this Candle Dragon immortal power was even better than liquid immortal power!

With nine strands of Candle Dragon immortal power coiling and hiding in his body, his aura became even stronger.

When he opened his eyes, he saw someone waiting respectfully not far away in the courtyard.

"What is it?"

The two clear words came out, echoing in the courtyard, like a clear wind, and also like the blade light of the bright moon, carrying a faint majesty.

"Reporting to Young Master, just received a piece of news about Miss Su Muqing."

"Oh."

Hearing the two words "Su Muqing," a trace of tenderness appeared in the cold eyes of the young man, saying: "What is it?"

"Miss Su Muqing participated in the Painting Immortal Long Yun exhibition. I heard that at the painting exhibition, someone pursued Miss Su Muqing."

That person lowered his head respectfully, saying.

"Pursue?"

The young man heard this, his expression returned to indifference, saying: "With Su Muqing's appearance and status, pursuers are like crucian carp crossing the river. Why bother mentioning such a small matter."

After speaking, he got up and headed to the Lin family's secret realm, to practice actual combat with the family elders there.

……

Su family, Lake Pavilion Garden, Zhexian Courtyard.

Two figures returned one after another. Su Su Muqing returned to the courtyard, didn't look back, didn't look at Li Hao, and entered her hall directly.

Li Hao looked at the tightly closed courtyard door and could only turn and sit on the chair he had carved.

Wu Ma didn't see Su Su Wanqing and couldn't help but step forward, asking carefully:

"Young Master General Hao Tian, where is Miss Su Wanqing?"

"Don't know."

Li Hao said casually; he really didn't pay attention.

Wu Ma retreated in embarrassment.

The courtyard seemed to return to the previous state, the tightly closed hall door, and the young man playing chess by himself in the courtyard.

This Zhexian Courtyard was Su Su Muqing's main courtyard, although not the cultivation array in the hall, the immortal power in the courtyard was extremely dense. Li Hao ate ancient demon flesh and blood every day, plus the natural infiltration of immortal power in the courtyard, he felt his immortal power becoming deeper and deeper, like misty clouds, becoming more and more dense.

Li Hao was not in a hurry to break through and cultivate. His mind was entirely on skills such as chess Dao, carving, and cooking, and he had no time to be distracted by cultivation.

After all, the changes brought about by the improvement of these skills were the greatest, and they were the fastest path to progress.

Even so, his 6th level of Form Dao origin realm allowed his physical body to absorb the immortal power of heaven and earth on its own, condensing the immortal body and cultivating on its own.

That Heavenly Immortal Body was built

That Immortal Body was built bit by bit, and as time passed, it gradually took shape...

And the Immortal Body also caused the immortal power within Li Hao's body to accumulate and become thick, turning into large patches of clouds and mist, faintly seeping out liquid-like immortal power.

When the immortal power is like water, that is the time when the Immortal Body is perfected.

In this quiet time, Su Su Wanqing came to the Zhe-Xian Courtyard several times to visit Su Su Muqing, and at the same time, she wanted to see if Li Hao was still persisting.

In addition, having seen Li Hao's Painting Realm skill before, she also had the intention to consult Li Hao on painting skills. Although she felt regret for Li Hao's wishful thinking, a master is a master, which did not hinder her from humbly asking Li Hao for advice on painting skills.

And every time they talked about the Dao of Painting, Su Su Wanqing discovered that the youth's eyes were flashing with light, his spirit was soaring. That feeling was as if a tall, upright, and heroic youth with a sword was telling stories of the world of martial arts, the freedom of riding a horse and singing loudly, his whole body exuding a special confidence and radiance.

Every time Su Su Wanqing came, Su Su Muqing would also open the palace door, either for a few words of sisterly chat at the door, or to stroll in the garden to enjoy the scenery with her. This was also a rare time for Li Hao to see her.

As for the cold gaze and disgusted eyes she gave him every time, he automatically ignored them.

"The Dao of Painting actually has so many intricacies and can contain so many Great Dao Origins; it's really hard to imagine."

Opposite the chessboard, Su Su Wanqing rested her chin on her hands, listening to Li Hao tirelessly telling her about the Dao of Painting, her eyes shining with light.

Under the sunlight, the youth's face was against the light, his whole body exuding radiance, not at all inferior to the great clan geniuses she had seen in battles.

"If all the Daos in the world can reach the pinnacle, they can all accommodate all things."

Li Hao said softly.

This was also another feeling he had only after comprehending the True Meaning of the Dao of Painting.

How could the Dao of the Sword not contain all things in the world—wind, fire, thunder, lightning, time, space, metal, and wood!

A drop of water can refract the world, and a blade of grass can pierce the sun and moon!

Hearing Li Hao's words, Su Su Wanqing was slightly startled, and a feeling of sudden enlightenment suddenly appeared in her mind, as if she had touched something, but for a moment, it was hard to grasp.

She knew it was because her own realm was too low, which was why she couldn't grasp the flash of enlightenment that had passed by.

"Do you really like playing chess?"

Su Su Wanqing turned her gaze away from the youth's face and landed on the chessboard, but she didn't understand the Dao of Chess. In her view, this was something only those old pedants liked, and she couldn't raise any interest.

Li Hao nodded.

"You have so many hobbies. Father said you only have a hundred years of soul-lifespan; is that true?"

Su Su Wanqing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Although she knew her father wouldn't lie and had no need to deceive, it was still hard to imagine that one could reach such a realm in a hundred years, and have such a level of Dao of Painting realm.

Li Hao smiled and nodded gently.

Su Su Wanqing sighed lightly and said to Li Hao, "With your aptitude, it's really a pity. From what I know of my sister, she won't change her mind, and... the Dao of Painting is ultimately a minor path. That Imperial Son of the Lin family is unmatched."

She looked at Li Hao. She felt no disgust toward this youth, and after consulting him several times, she instead felt that the other party was indeed a peerless genius, not at all inferior to the great clan monsters she had seen. It was just a pity that his opponent was that True Dragon of the Lin family.

All men in the world were eclipsed in his presence!

Li Hao was slightly silent. A hundred years of companionship was indeed too short. Perhaps if he could break through to the Immortal King Realm within a hundred years, he might be able to discuss it with the Su family head again; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to discuss it.

A hundred years... Li Hao silently picked up a black piece and killed his way into the white pieces' hinterland.

Determining victory or defeat often only requires one move, the most critical move!

Everything else is layout, all decoys to cover the enemy.

Seeing that it was getting late, Su Su Wanqing stood up to bid farewell to Li Hao and went to the main palace to say goodbye to Su Su Muqing.

Su Su Muqing would occasionally observe the situation in the courtyard, especially when Su Su Wanqing arrived. Seeing her sister walk over, she frowned and said:

"You had better not get too close to such a person. With such a temperament, he is destined not to go far on the path to the Supreme Dao!"

Su Su Wanqing nodded slightly. She also understood this point. That path was extremely difficult. Since ancient times, countless geniuses had fallen on this path. Besides talent, bloodline, cultivation resources, opportunities, comprehension, and various other things, one also needed a resilient and invincible Dao heart!

That Dao heart, not confused by any external objects and not influenced by any external objects, was indispensable.

"Sister, cultivate well. I'll be waiting for you to show your brilliance when you win the laurel at the Sword Pool."

Su Su Wanqing smiled and did not discuss Li Hao with her. She knew Su Su Muqing was full of disgust for Li Hao, but for some reason, after talking to the youth more, her impression of him had already changed quietly. However, thinking of some of the other party's actions, she couldn't help but feel regret and sigh.

"Mm, you too. Let's win the laurel together then!"

Thinking of winning the laurel at the Sword Pool in a few years, Su Su Muqing couldn't help but hook the corner of her mouth into a smile.

Time passed.

A year passed, and Li Hao's Immortal Body finally stepped into perfection.

Within his body, immortal power condensed like dew, falling from the thick immortal clouds, turning into nectar and merging into the Immortal Body. His body was instantly filled with a powerful and thick immortal power.

If the previous immortal power was wandering in the body and he was just an air bag, then now, it was beginning to turn into a water bag. Being at the first level of the Immortal King Realm, a finger of immortal power could suppress other ordinary first-level Immortal King Realm cultivators.

He had the Myriad Heavens Star Pulse, plus the absorption and transformation of the sixth level of the Form Dao Origin. Although he didn't deliberately cultivate and the Myriad Heavens Star Pulse was not manifested, the speed of absorbing heaven and earth immortal power was far superior to ordinary people, comparable to the full-effort cultivation of some great clan geniuses.

Regarding the perfection of the Immortal Body, although Li Hao had some experience, he didn't feel much joy. This path was still very long, and he was only taking a step forward at the starting point. After all, what he would face in the future was not these great clan geniuses, but that Southern Territory Supreme with whom he had a life-and-death feud!

Time flew by.

Three years, five years. The immortal dew in Li Hao's body accumulated more and more, from stepping into the perfection period to being thoroughly filled, condensing into the perfection of the Great Immortal Body!
