Whether it’s the Nine Orders or Dao Source itself—you have personally cultivated the Dao Source Immortal Seal, so you should understand: all things originate from One. The Dao gives birth to One; One gives birth to all things!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for how to choose this ‘One,’ that depends on your own talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s heart trembled—he immediately understood his master’s meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao gives birth to One: this One could be sword Dao, time, or painting, carving—even the rocks on a path, a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things return to the origin; where the origin lies is unimportant—what matters is how you extend from it, how you perceive the patterns of all Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Painting encompasses time, space, earth, wood, and the Nine Orders’ primordial sources—but if any one of these Nine Orders is refined to its extreme, could it not also serve as the ‘One’?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Master, for your guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dao Source Immortal Emperor shook his head: “This isn’t guidance. You’re already at the peak of Immortal Lord realm, have fused twenty-one chaotic laws, and with your mastery of Primordial Spirit’s final stage and the forging of True God Blood, even those who’ve fused twenty-three chaotic laws may not overpower you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Among Immortal Lords, you are already among the top.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your current cultivation is preparation for breaking through to Immortal King, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao froze—he knew nothing could be hidden from his master, and nodded: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before entering the Infinite Heaven Realm, do not break through.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Source Immortal Emperor said: “In these two hundred years, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t worry—breaking through to Immortal King is no easy feat. But for you? I cannot be certain. If you stumble upon a bottleneck, be cautious—do not truly forge a Realm Domain. Wait until you gain Heavenly Dao power to establish your Realm Domain, then you may step directly into the upper echelon of Immortal King realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple understands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know the difference between Immortal King realm and Immortal Lord realm?” Dao Source Immortal Emperor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s knowledge was incomplete—he pondered: “True Immortal realm masters Immortal force and Great Dao primordial sources; Immortal Lord realm masters laws and true meanings; Immortal King realm masters Realm Domain power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is a Realm Domain?” Dao Source Immortal Emperor asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao recalled other Immortal Kings he had seen—those Realm Domains were terrifying, vast, and heavy, like real worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one must describe it, it was a strengthened Dao Realm—even ten thousand times stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Source Immortal Emperor’s calm gaze seemed to penetrate all things—he saw Li Hao’s thoughts and spoke slowly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Realm Domain lies in ‘Realm,’ not ‘Domain!’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is a Realm? It possesses unity and stability, containing the Nine Orders’ primordial sources and myriad Dao laws—that is merely the foundation. Next, one must forge a Realm Heart. Only by comprehending the Realm Heart can one control the Realm Domain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And each person’s comprehended Realm Heart is unique—the Realm Domain is one-of-a-kind!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some forge Divine Demon Realm Domains, some forge Sentient Realm Domains, some forge Chaotic Realm Domains…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dao Source Immortal Emperor said slowly: “If you wish to comprehend, go down the mountain and find those Immortal King disciples outside the inner circle—let them show you. To you, observing me is like a gnat gazing at the moon—you cannot see the whole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his master’s words, Li Hao froze—he realized: that earlier was not guidance—this was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao immediately rose—his experience was now full; further painting his master would yield negligible gains, for his painter’s eye could now perceive only a tiny fraction, unable to truly see the Emperor’s full form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing those Immortal Kings close to his own level would let him see more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Realm Domain… Realm Heart…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao bowed deeply, respectfully took leave of his master, then murmured as he left the hall and descended the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dao Source Mountain held many cultivation grounds; the closer to the summit, the higher the disciples’ talent. At the first level beneath the summit, numerous Immortal King disciples cultivated and comprehended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s figure flashed and landed there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he appeared, someone noticed him—eyes widened in shock, then excitement burst forth: “Senior Hao Tian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Li Hao had entered late, as a personal disciple—even the youngest—others respectfully called him “Senior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the cry of “Hao Tian,” it triggered an instinctive reaction—many opened their eyes, saw Li Hao’s face, and were stunned, excited, rushing toward him in joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For them, a personal disciple coming here was exceedingly rare—a once-in-a-thousand-years event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, personal disciples like Gu Mo Fan and Di Ling Shu were either comprehending Chaotic Stars or cultivating elsewhere—they wouldn’t waste time here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talented ones, beyond innate talent, worked a hundred times harder than ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s Senior Hao Tian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Hao Tian has come!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look! This is our Senior Hao Tian—they say he’s fused twenty-one chaotic laws, a legendary prodigy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many surrounded him; though most were Immortal Kings, higher in realm than Li Hao, their gazes now held excitement and reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew Li Hao’s breakthrough to Immortal King was inevitable—and once he broke through, he would swiftly surpass them. That was the depth of a personal disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Long Qing Ge and Lei Jing Feng, upon reaching Immortal King realm, rapidly became powerful figures—like true dragons entering water, soaring ninety thousand miles upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing such commotion, Li Hao felt slightly awkward—he quickly raised his hands to stop their bows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, no need for such formalities—I’ve come here to learn and discuss with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learn?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, many disciples were stunned—someone in the crowd laughed: “Senior Hao Tian, no need to be so modest. Whatever you want to say, just say it—we’re the ones who should be learning from you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, Senior Hao Tian—we want to learn how you fused chaotic laws!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve only been a disciple for a hundred years and already fused twenty-one chaotic laws—we’ve trained here for thousands of years and barely touched the threshold of fusing laws—no comparison at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many disciples quickly spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Li Hao immediately explained his purpose—he had come to deeply comprehend their Realm Domains, and to do so, he needed them to reveal them, open them fully for his observation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s just this? Senior Hao Tian, you’re too polite—I’m Xie Qiu Bai, my Realm Domain is the Nine Elephants. If you don’t mind, observe freely—if you can offer even a small insight, that would be wonderful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man in the crowd smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve forged the Hundred Battles Realm Domain—refining myriad laws into a hundred, taking battle as the Dao, with my Realm Heart focused on slaughter. Senior Hao Tian, feel free to observe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another broad-browed youth smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other Immortal King disciples also stepped forward, eager to let Li Hao observe their Realm Domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao hadn’t expected such enthusiasm—he was startled, yet immensely pleased—he thanked each one in turn, then began observing the nearby seniors’ Realm Domains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man chosen by Li Hao was overjoyed, beaming—normally, revealing one’s Realm Domain was like exposing one’s belly, a risky act—but for a personal disciple of the master, it was entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Hao Tian, please look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple raised his hand—his Realm Domain enveloped Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Miao, who followed Li Hao, glanced at the disciple—the disciple was startled, then saw Shi Miao’s figure turn transparent, silently slipping into his Realm Domain, still beside Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling his Realm Domain instantly invaded, the disciple’s face changed—he was shocked, disbelievingly staring at Shi Miao—he had never heard of such a terrifying Immortal King, especially one on the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other disciples also noticed—now their gazes toward Shi Miao changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, they had assumed Shi Miao was a guardian chosen by the master for Li Hao—after all, in Chaotic Star comprehension, even the most gifted needed an Immortal King’s Realm Domain to shield them from Chaotic Chaos, ensuring their cultivation wasn’t disrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As an Immortal Lord, once inside another’s Realm Domain, you lose all control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Miao whispered to Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was one reason she had invaded the other’s Realm Domain to follow him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao understood—this was the terrifying power of Immortal King realm: no matter how formidable an Immortal Lord, once trapped within a Realm Domain, life and death lay entirely in the master’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the realm, the harder it is to fight across realms—great realm gaps are like heavenly chasms, impossible to cross.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is this woman? So strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She silently infiltrated ‘Ku Qiao’s’ Realm Domain—does our Dao Source Mountain have such a strong one? Her aura seems only Immortal King Second Layer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ku Qiao is Immortal King Third Layer—this is ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All whispered, their eyes shifting from Li Hao to Shi Miao—the gap between each Immortal King layer was as vast as the gap between five Immortal Lord layers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who could effortlessly cross five Immortal Lord layers and suppress the opponent was, without exception, a monster—same in Immortal King realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ku Qiao trained on the first level of Dao Source Mountain—he was already a prodigy himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my Shore Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Qiao snapped back to awareness and instantly understood the meaning behind the girl’s glance at him—not that he still needed to train, but an apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He smiled bitterly inside but asked no further questions; instead, he began describing his realm to Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao saw traces of the Nine Orders’ primordial sources within the realm, and within it lay a Sea of Life, teeming with vigorous life energy. Strange, tiny lifeforms emerged from this sea—some crawled onto the shore, others drifted within, absorbing more life force and growing larger and stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Creating life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao was stirred upon seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could the Immortal King realm truly be a being akin to a creator?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet soon, Li Hao relaxed—he understood: when the Nine Orders’ forces merged, the Dao of Life was contained within the Water Primordial Source and the Time Primordial Source; by the sixth level, one had already touched the stage of birthing life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Shore is my realm’s heart. All beings suffer; only by building a heavenly bridge can one reach the Shore, free from the influence of all laws. The Shore is both bridge and sword—it can sever all laws!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Qiao explained his realm’s heart to Li Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hao’s eyes shimmered with solemn respect; those who reached the Immortal King realm were no fools. He felt Ku Qiao’s Shore Heart was immensely powerful—he himself might never have conceived such a heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is this Sea of Life?\" Li Hao asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is the foundation all realms possess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ku Qiao glanced at Shi Miao beside Li Hao and said, \"These lifeforms, as they grow, allow one to deduce the Dao’s laws through them—faster than meditating on heaven and earth. The stronger the lifeforms born, the greater the boost to the realm’s power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yet the lifeforms born within an Immortal King’s realm cannot cultivate unless blessed by the power of Heaven’s Dao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2309,"2026-06-20T02:15:44.384Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f6783e10ffb10dd926ea5fa3f8e85330c74d55a71d2f7f7b5f5979c801dc9df9","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-866","the-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-chapter-864",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-name-that-echoes-through-eternity-cover.jpg"]
