Chapter 867

Smoke curled up from the small courtyard.

In the courtyard, Li Hao cooked Ancient Demon flesh and ate it with Shi Miao with great relish.

"So fragrant."

Shi Miao wiped her mouth while eating, long ago losing the demeanor of a lady, gorging herself, but her movements were still elegant and beautiful. She smiled and said:

"Thanks to you, my reincarnated Primordial Spirit has also condensed quite a bit of True God Blood. If I live safely to the end of time and merge with the True God of my true self, I wonder what level I will reach?"

Li Hao had long heard Shi Miao say that her true self was already in the ultimate realm of the Primordial Spirit. If she condensed ten thousand drops of True God Blood, she could reach the perfection of the ultimate realm, and the Primordial Spirit would transform into a True God, detaching from the flesh. The sun and moon would rot but the True God would not rot, and time would wither but the True God would not be defeated!

"If you cultivate this body to the ultimate realm of the Primordial Spirit, and two ultimate realms of the Primordial Spirit merge, perhaps you will achieve something even more extreme."

Li Hao guessed.

Shi Miao nodded, and her heart was also somewhat expectant. Although she said that no one could break the ultimate realm, even an Immortal Emperor was like this, the various former Immortal Emperors had tried countless methods but had not broken the ultimate realm. But whether someone had used True God fusion, it was not yet known.

Although Shi Miao felt faintly in her heart that most Immortal Emperors had tried this method, she was not certain in the end, so she couldn't help but have some expectations in her heart.

The higher the cultivation, the fewer the remaining pleasures. Plus, many paths were blocked. Being able to open up a new path, even if there was only a glimmer of possibility, would make people excited.

"Unfortunately, the efficiency of absorption is still not fast enough. Even if we eat and drink every day, it will take over a thousand years to accumulate ten thousand drops!"

Li Hao said.

Earlier on the Yellow Springs Earth battlefield, using Ancient Demon essence blood, he only condensed ten drops of True God Blood every year.

Now in the Primordial True Realm, there was no Ancient Demon essence blood. Fortunately, the Ancient Demon corpses sent by Second Senior Brother Di Wushe every time were of extremely high quality. Many were in the perfection of the Immortal Monarch Realm, and among them were many Immortal King Realm corpses. Therefore, he could barely condense ten or so drops of True God Blood every year.

It was just that from the quality of these Ancient Demon corpses, Li Hao could feel that the Imperial Clan border battlefield was extremely dangerous. No wonder every time Second Senior Brother came over, a murderous aura lingered between his brows, even his avatar was like this, as if he had just escaped from the battlefield.

"It's already very fast."

Shi Miao laughed.

Being able to condense ten drops of True God Blood every year, she wouldn't have dared to imagine it in her own year. Being able to condense one drop every year was already a top-tier speed.

"Unfortunately, the Painting Dao has never been comprehended."

Li Hao said. The thirteenth stage of the Painting Dao was far more difficult than he had imagined. After the experience value was full, he spent several years concentrating on thinking and contemplating, but he had no clue.

"Don't be anxious. The Immortal King Realm is the last step to ascend to heaven. It's normal for it to be difficult."

Shi Miao comforted Li Hao.

Having been together for a hundred years, although Li Hao didn't say it explicitly, with her intelligence, she could see that Li Hao contemplating the Painting Dao and the Zither Dao was not for fun, but to cultivate through this. If the Painting Dao could be comprehended, perhaps Li Hao could break through the realm to become a King.

But breaking through the realm to become a King was easier said than done. Even if an Immortal Emperor cultivated with painstaking effort, one still had to look at a bit of chance.

Although there were many divine medicines and treasures in the Primordial True Realm, among which there were supreme medicine lotuses that could replace the Boundary Heart and directly plant a lotus boundary in the body to become an Immortal King, these diluted Chaos divine medicines were also few and far between. True geniuses didn't need them, and non-geniuses weren't qualified to enjoy them.

"Hmm."

Li Hao nodded. He wasn't anxious or impatient in his heart, just feeling emotional.

Sometimes with Shi Miao by his side, Li Hao painted in the courtyard every day, and figures appeared in his Painting Realm.

These were all Li Hao's former friends and people he missed. There was Hearing Hearing Yu Huang, there was Old Man Feng, there was Ren Qianqian, there was Lin Qingying, and there was also Li Tianzong who had long ago fallen in the Mo River...

Now most of them were in the Southern Territory of the True Realm, and Li Hao didn't dare to meet them, so as not to implicate them.

The Painting Realm enveloped the entire small courtyard. Old Man Feng and Hearing Hearing Yu Huang, Ren Qianqian and the others, seemed like virtual shadows in the painting, but in fact, they were like real existences, like souls integrated into bodies. Their chatting personalities were exactly the same as in the past.

The small courtyard also became lively because of this.

Hearing Hearing Yu Huang played chess with Li Hao, tapping his fingers on the table, and a chessboard condensed in the painting.

Old Man Feng fished with Li Hao. The Painting Realm turned, and a demon lake hung in the void.

Ren Qianqian contemplated cultivation with a sword on the side, and Li Hao pointed out her sword skills, allowing her sword skills to improve.

Li Hao let them stay by his side. Although they were playing chess, fishing, and practicing swords, all of this was carried out in the Painting Realm, improving Li Hao's control over the Painting Realm, but unable to accumulate experience in other arts.

"Now that you are far apart, you must miss them very much."

Shi Miao said to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded. Meeting in the dust, how could it not be unforgettable.

"If you can use the improvement of them in the Painting Realm to help them in the form of soul teaching and inheritance in the future, that would be even better."

Shi Miao said.

Hearing this, Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. This was a good method.

If so, he could improve the cultivation of Hearing Hearing Yu Huang and the others in the Painting Realm and directly pass it on to their true bodies in the future, which would be a great help to them.

It was just that although the idea was good, it was somewhat whimsical.

After all, in the Painting Realm, Li Hao was the master. Improving their cultivation was easy. If he could pass it on to their true bodies, then for Li Hao, helping people cultivate would be as simple as eating and drinking. This was something even an Immortal Emperor found difficult to do.

"Where is Junior Brother Brother Han Ku?"

In the first-layer Dao field of Extreme Dao Mountain, Li Hao came here as usual to discuss boundary domain cultivation with these Immortal King Realm disciples, but he saw that several figures seemed to be missing from the Dao field.

Among them, Brother Han Ku, who had cultivated the Unbreakable Boundary Domain, left a deep impression on Li Hao. More than ten years ago, when he first visited, Shi Miao pierced the Unbreakable Boundary Domain with a single finger. Only five years later, Brother Han Ku's Unbreakable Boundary Domain had improved greatly, and his cultivation had also improved by one layer.

"Senior Brother Brother Han Ku..."

Kuqiao and other Immortal King Realm disciples standing in front of Li Hao looked at each other, but their expressions were somewhat ugly.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "What is it? Speak if you have something to say."

"Senior Brother Haotian, Senior Brother Brother Han Ku went to the Primordial Border Region three years ago and became a member of the Demon-Slaying Generals. It's just a pity..."

Kuqiao's eyes were complex, and he clenched his fists, saying: "It's just a pity that the war situation in the Primordial Border Region is responsible. A year ago, news came back that Senior Brother Brother Han Ku had fallen in battle."

"Fallen in battle?"

Li Hao was stunned.

That Junior Brother Immortal King, who was extremely confident in front of him when they first met and whose face was full of pride, had actually fallen in battle?

"He is an Immortal King... Where is that Primordial Border Region? Are there Ancient Demons invading there too?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

Kuqiao looked at Li Hao and said bitterly: "Senior Brother Haotian doesn't know. Ten thousand years ago, the Ancient Demon invasion of the True Realm was not just the outside True Realm, but also included the Primordial True Realm. That great war affected every corner. If it weren't for the Ancient Demon Clan being too greedy and too arrogant, choosing to fight on multiple fronts, they wouldn't have been defeated..."

"That's right. If the Ancient Demon Clan had chosen to fight steadily, sweeping through the True Realm from one great region to another, I'm afraid the entire True Realm would have already become the territory of the Ancient Demons."

Another Immortal King nodded.

"This Primordial Border Region is where the Ancient Demons invaded back then. It was jointly defended by the three giants, including the Master, and the ten Chaos Clans, which exchanged for the peace of the Primordial True Realm. But the war situation in the Primordial Border Region has always been very intense."

Kuqiao said.

Li Hao was stunned. He hadn't expected the Primordial True Realm to have also suffered an Ancient Demon invasion.

"The Chaos Ancient Clan agreed to let us humans come to the Primordial True Realm, besides the reasons of the Master and the Chaos Immortal Emperor, it was also because they needed our help to block the Ancient Demons." An Immortal King Realm woman beside him said.

Li Hao asked: "Since this is the case, are the Chaos Ancient Clan and us still at odds?"

"To the Chaos Ancient Clan, we are no different from Ancient Demons. The only difference is that Ancient Demons are a threat, and we are a hidden danger. If they can use the hidden danger to solve the threat, it is naturally the best for them." Kuqiao said.

Li Hao couldn't help but be speechless. The prejudice of racial separation was indeed difficult to reverse.

"Senior Brother Haotian has peerless talent and was mostly brought into the sect by the Master himself, while we didn't have such good fortune. Some rely on the relationships of large clans behind them and can send a small number of clansmen in. The rest of the people can only fight through the Primordial Border Region, establish Immortal Merits there, and only after having great battle merits are they allowed to come to the interior for cultivation and enter Chaos Stars to comprehend the Dao!"

"Some large clans have strong people in the clan fighting in the Primordial Border Region, establishing Immortal Merits, but they transfer the quota to the juniors in the clan, sending the juniors to the Immortal Emperor Dao Mountain to apprentice. Even if they are outer sect disciples, they can get the opportunity to contemplate on Chaos Stars."

Several people explained to Li Hao.

Li Hao was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that the Chaos Stars he was too lazy to go to were so difficult for others to go to.

Even coming to Extreme Dao Mountain for cultivation required exhausting the efforts of several generations!

"Brother Han Ku, although he ranked in the first Dao field, still had to serve. Every three hundred years, he went to the Primordial Border Region and established a hundred-head Immortal Merit before he could return." Someone said.

"Hundred-head battle merit?"

"That is to kill a hundred Ancient Demons of the same realm as oneself. Because we cultivate under the Immortal Emperor's sect, although we are not as good as Senior Brother Haotian, we are considered to have a little talent, so it is not difficult to easily defeat Ancient Demons of the same realm."

The combat power of Ancient Demons was extremely terrifying. In the same realm, they were almost all crushing the ten thousand clans of the True Realm, even the top ten strong clans could only win slightly against Ancient Demons. But if they encountered the King Clans among the Ancient Demons, they would be much inferior.

But geniuses who could come to the Primordial True Realm had the capital to fight Ancient Demons of the same realm, and could even easily defeat them.

"Killing a hundred Ancient Demons is not difficult, but that battlefield changes in an instant. Ancient Demons are insidious and cunning and will have accidents at any time. Even peerless geniuses will fall." Kuqiao said.

Li Hao nodded, deeply understanding the terror of the battlefield.

"Senior Brother Haotian, as a personal disciple, before you have completely grown up, the Master will not let you go to such a chaotic zone." Someone said to Li Hao, his eyes full of admiration and emotion.

The treatment of personal disciples was extraordinary. Although they were jealous, they were also convinced. After all, the talent was there, and every personal disciple could convince the public.

"Senior Brother Brother Han Ku encountered an accident..."

An Immortal King Realm woman said dejectedly.

Others, hearing this, were also silent. After all, having cultivated together for thousands of years here, sparring and discussing, they could be considered Dao friends on this Immortal path.

"Did he not leave any God Blood here?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

If it was an adventure, he should have left a copy of God Blood, so that he could borrow God Blood to be reborn.

"We once cut off God Blood to save our lives and repeatedly threw ourselves into the battlefield. That was also a period when Ancient Demons were severely injured. But not long after, the Ancient Demons created a technique that could cut off the connection between God Blood, making the divinity silent. Even if God Blood was left ten thousand miles away, once killed by this technique, the remaining God Blood would rot quickly."

Kuqiao said: "And Senior Brother Brother Han Ku's Primordial Spirit fell. If he only used an avatar to fight, he couldn't exert his power. After all, those Ancient Demons could also use avatars."

Li Hao was silent. After years of hard cultivation, he went to war, but fell just like that.

"I have the Unbreakable Boundary Domain..."

Those words seemed to still linger in his ears, but the person was no longer there.

Li Hao didn't say much and returned to the top of the mountain. His Painting Realm extended, and in the Painting Realm, another figure appeared, which was the fallen Brother Han Ku.

"Senior Brother Haotian, I have the Unbreakable Boundary Domain, feel free to watch..."

Brother Han Ku condensed in the Painting Realm, smiling and cupping his hands to Li Hao, as if the time of the past had emerged again.

Shi Miao gazed at Li Hao and didn't speak, just silently accompanying him by his side.

Time flew by.

Every few years, Li Hao would go down the mountain to discuss boundary domain cultivation with the various Immortal King Realm fellow disciples.

It was just that every few years when he went down, Li Hao would find that among the Immortal King Realm fellow disciples he had talked to earlier, one or two would be missing, and at the same time, one or two new faces would appear.

Some of those new faces were sent by large clan quotas, and some were elders who had fought in the Primordial Border Region and transferred their quotas to send them.

Hearing about Li Hao's deeds, they all stepped forward to greet him, extremely polite.

"Where is Junior Sister Baihua?"

"She... fell in battle."

"Where is Junior Brother Wuchen?"

"He..."

Chaos rain fell one after another.

The flowers on the top of the mountain bloomed and withered, withered and bloomed. Only those Chaos seeds were evergreen for a hundred years, with little change.

"This is Junior Brother Baichuan, his boundary domain is also very powerful."

"Where is Kuqiao?"

"Kuqiao he..."

Seeing the familiar look of indescribable difficulty and complexity on the faces of the few old faces, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill in his blood.

He didn't know when he returned to the top of the mountain, but he saw the figure in his Painting Realm, and there was one more.

"I have the Other Shore Boundary Domain, Senior Brother Haotian..."

That figure smiled and bowed slightly to the young man sitting quietly on the tea chair, bowing very respectfully.

Time seemed to stand still. The meeting when he first went down the mountain reappeared at this moment.

Li Hao was silent for a long time,

before slowly standing up and cupping his hands:

"Greetings, Junior Brother Kuqiao."

Time changed, the sun and moon in the small courtyard changed. In this small world of the Painting Realm, time seemed to reverse. A large amount of rain rose from the ground of the small courtyard, steamed up, and flew into the clouds and mist in the sky.

One Chaos rain after another reversed, time changed, only the figures gathered around him became more and more, all of them familiar faces that Li Hao had seen in the past.

"Brother Han Ku, Kuqiao... Baihua..."

"Greetings, Senior Brother Haotian!"

Time seemed not to have passed, and everything seemed to maintain its original appearance.

Li Hao suddenly smiled, but tears slid down in his smile. They had unconditionally opened their most secret boundary domains for him to watch. Those boundary domains had once made Li Hao marvel, and they were all the best among people.

"Shi Miao."

Li Hao suddenly spoke.

"I am here." Shi Miao said softly.

She stood in this time and space where the sun and moon changed and time reversed, but she seemed to be independent of time and space, not affected by anything, just looking at the young man in front of her quietly, her eyes gentle and with tears. Only she could experience the state of mind of this young man at this moment, as well as that strong heart.

"A hundred years have passed..." Li Hao said in a low voice.

"Hmm."

Shi Miao nodded hard, "A hundred years."
