Chapter 358: Second Ultimate Realm
This flash of inspiration, however, was unrelated to the Dao of Painting, and unconnected to his recent enlightenment. Instead, it was Li Hao suddenly thinking about qi meridians.
Previously, condensing qi meridians and maintaining them outside the body was enormously energy-consuming, and in battle, they were easily severed, undoing all previous work.
Qi meridians were like rootless duckweed, drifting outside the body. But what if he could find roots for these qi meridians?
Li Hao gazed at the starry sky, no matter how he moved, the starlight showered upon his body, precisely and without deviation, unless he sought cover to block it.
"If qi meridians could be like this boundless starlight, reflecting upon oneself, connecting to each other..."
Li Hao's eyes flickered as he murmured to himself.
His idea was somewhat terrifying, a notion vaguely budding within him. If he could use the celestial stars to reflect qi meridians, connecting them to the myriad stars in the sky, wouldn't that be finding their root?
If qi meridians were like light, reflecting everywhere, what kind of power would that bring?
The more Li Hao thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. Although it seemed unbelievable, breaking through limits required transcending the conventional.
He calmed his mind, carefully sensing the stars above.
However, these stars were incredibly distant. Although his perception was strong, and his spirit travel and fifteen-mile domain had reached their limits, he still couldn't touch the stars.
Swish!
His primordial spirit flew out from the top of Li Hao's head, soaring towards the high sky.
Spiritual souls leaving the body had range limitations. If one went beyond that range and lost connection with the main body, they would become wandering souls. Even if they found a body again, it would be a severe drain on their vital energy.
But primordial spirits were different. They could withstand the scorching sun and briefly detach from the physical body.
At this moment, his primordial spirit flew directly towards a star overhead.
As he got closer, Li Hao immediately felt the penetrating power of the starlight radiating from the star. If his spiritual soul hadn't transformed into a primordial spirit, immune to the scorching sun, this penetrating light from the star would have been enough to damage his primordial spirit.
But now, the starlight became energy absorbed by his primordial spirit, which flew higher and higher, constantly ascending.
Until a star, the size of a silver plate in his primordial spirit's vision, gradually filled his entire view, vast and boundless, did his primordial spirit stop.
His primordial spirit had to stop; continuing forward, it encountered a barrier.
This barrier was thick and solid, like a wall of ten thousand Daos, far more robust than the barrier of a small world.
Li Hao was stunned, vaguely recalling certain legends. This might be… the celestial curtain?
And that star was beyond the celestial curtain, unreachable.
Li Hao manipulated his primordial spirit, trying to break through the celestial curtain.
He saw his primordial spirit mobilize its power, condensing into a sword, and fiercely hacking at the celestial curtain, attempting to tear open a gap.
But the sword light, although brilliant, dissipated like dust upon striking the celestial curtain.
Li Hao's heart jolted. This celestial curtain was not only solid but also contained some kind of power that could nullify laws and disintegrate the Great Dao!
Unwilling to believe it, he unleashed his Unrivaled Sword Dao, once again striking out violently.
With a bang, the celestial curtain seemed to faintly vibrate, but the sword energy still vanished like smoke, causing no damage whatsoever.
Li Hao's heart grew solemn, and he gave a wry smile. This was already his strongest attack, yet it couldn't inflict even the slightest harm on the celestial curtain.
"It seems this thought is just my wishful thinking…"
Li Hao's eyes flickered. His primordial spirit stood near the celestial curtain, gazing at the star, but could only see its outline, unable to sense anything. All perception was blocked by the celestial curtain.
Li Hao stared intently for a moment, then suddenly his heart stirred. Primordial spirit touch was impossible, but the star's light shone down, indicating that some things could not be blocked even by the celestial curtain!
Li Hao's eyes brightened instantly. He recalled his primordial spirit and then a dazzling silver radiance bloomed in his eyes.
Transformation into an Immortal!
Li Hao intended to use Immortal Transformation to merge with天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), to sense the myriad stars in the sky.
As the silver radiance blossomed, his full head of black hair transformed into a dazzling silver, emanating an ancient aura, like a banished immortal.
Silver strands fluttered, and the power of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) gathered into his body, as if time itself stood still.
The Azure Deer King felt the suddenly surging aura on his back. The thoughts of resentment and killing intent in his heart were abruptly shaken, startled into a jump. When his senses covered Li Hao, he saw the anomaly of Li Hao's body and was horrified.
The power at this moment seemed to draw in the strength of the heavens, applying it to one person, even comparable to the previous Eternal Dao Domain.
If such power was used to cast the Eternal Dao Domain again, it would undoubtedly be even more terrifying.
"He wasn't using his full strength before?"
The Azure Deer King was shocked. From childhood to adulthood, he rarely lost. Now, he considered himself almost invincible below the Saint level, but the young man before him refreshed his understanding once again.
As the power of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) was drawn in, Li Hao entered complete Immortal Transformation in the blink of an eye.
His whole body contained terrifying power capable of destroying mountains and rivers, even his fluttering hair seemed to hold the power to sweep across forests. But this immense power was restrained, and Li Hao shifted his mind into天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature).
His vision changed. In天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), he saw numerous energies like drifting catkins, like snowflakes. He looked up and saw the starlight from the myriad stars overhead, like beams of intersecting lines, straight and brilliant, shining like divine light.
He sent his mind soaring to the highest point, reaching the celestial curtain. This time, he felt the celestial curtain no longer rejecting him. His mind effortlessly passed through the celestial curtain, arriving outside.
Instantly, a sharp, biting wind assaulted him, like the freezing depths of the sea, trying to engulf and destroy his mind!
Li Hao's heart grew solemn, and he hurriedly contracted his mind, not venturing too far from the celestial curtain, just clinging to it.
Even so, he still felt like he was constantly on the verge of falling into an abyss.
But at this moment, Li Hao truly saw the stars overhead, truly felt their existence.
However, what widened his eyes in disbelief was that these stars were not the stars he understood from his previous life, not planets, but… a painting!
Yes, the silver plate-like stars overhead were paintings!
Stars painted in existence!
They contained terrifying law power, seemingly condensed from billions of laws!
These were not real stars, but star paintings condensed from laws!
Li Hao was shocked, somewhat lost in thought.
Although this was a different world, and the structure of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) might be different, Li Hao's basic understanding from his previous life told him that real stars were definitely not like this. These structures condensed from laws looked more like they were man-made!
Could it be that these myriad stars were created by someone?
What kind of existence could the creator of these stars be? Li Hao couldn't imagine.
He was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, then immediately realized that this was not what he should be considering now.
The stars condensed from laws were currently radiating brilliant light, and this light directly pierced through the celestial curtain, illuminating the world.
Li Hao stared at the laws contained within the light. The laws were sharp, as sharp as the Great Dao. If qi meridians could be like this starlight, how could he worry about them being severed in battle?
While contemplating, he used the power of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) to envelop his mind, sinking into the laws of starlight.
He bathed in the starlight laws, seeing countless laws woven together, orderly, using a method he couldn't comprehend, exquisitely and unimaginably, condensing these laws into this magnificent starlight.
Li Hao's mind floated within, carefully watching the operation of these laws.
In the mortal realm, he had heard that Saints could hide in a drop of water or a flower, vanishing without a trace.
At this moment, Li Hao deeply understood this.
Even a beam of starlight contained thousands of laws.
He gazed at the dazzling and mesmerizing laws, immersing himself in them, concentrating and comprehending.
Time seemed to quietly slip away, for a long time, a very long time.
The Azure Deer King trembled with fear, feeling Li Hao's aura on his back like an ancient divine mountain, pressing down on him, making him dare not move at all. Waves surged in his heart, eventually gradually calming down, leaving only complexity.
Suddenly, he felt Li Hao's body on his back vibrate slightly.
That vast aura actually suddenly intensified even further.
At the same time, he felt a sense of being illuminated, as if seeing a beam of heavenly light enveloping him.
This feeling was similar to the scenes described by some sects when one achieved enlightenment and became a Saint.
Upon enlightenment, heavenly light enveloped, and golden lotuses sprung from the earth.
Although there were no golden lotuses springing from the earth at the moment, there was heavenly light shining down.
He had achieved enlightenment again?!
The Azure Deer King's eyes were complex, and deep in his heart, a trace of jealousy actually sprouted.
Since he began cultivating, he had rarely lost, and he had never experienced such an emotion. From childhood to adulthood, it was always others who were jealous of him, and now, he was actually jealous of someone else again.
Li Hao opened his eyes, starlight restrained within his gaze. He looked up, and the laws in the starlight shining down from the silver plate-sized star overhead had been discerned for their pattern and traces.
At this moment, a qi meridian condensed, reflecting the laws.
In an instant, this qi meridian seemed to be drawn by the starlight, actually connecting remotely to that star!
When connected to the star's laws, this qi meridian, which had been soft and swaying like willow branches, suddenly became sharp and straight, like a pillar connecting天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature).
The power to maintain this qi meridian also shifted from Li Hao himself to that star!
He only needed a trace of faint power to maintain this qi meridian, and the rest was handled by the star's traction, like a special force field, fusing the qi meridian with the starlight, using the star as an anchor and foundation, making it impossible to sever!
Even if severed, it could instantly condense again, like light.
Moreover, this qi meridian, fused with the star's laws and condensed within the light, was invisible to ordinary people even when revealed.
With the formation of this qi meridian, Li Hao's eyes immediately showed excitement and joy. His previous idea about qi meridians could actually succeed!
This incredible idea of using stars as a foundation was actually accomplished by him!
Although it was just one qi meridian, this path had been opened up!
Li Hao's eyes burst with vibrant light. Looking at the myriad brilliant stars in the sky, he felt like he was seeing countless gems, exhilarating.
He didn't stop, continuing to follow the same method, using the mind of Immortal Transformation to find the second star, then sending his mind out of the celestial curtain to comprehend the laws within the second star.
The laws in this second star were largely similar to the previous one, and comprehension was much faster.
Before long, the second qi meridian also condensed and遁入 (disappeared into/遁入) the starlight.
With the condensation of the second qi meridian, the aura gathered in his body became even stronger.
Li Hao then continued to condense.
The third, the fourth… More and more qi meridians were condensed, connected to the stars.
Li Hao also realized that this Ultimate Realm cultivation was hundreds of times more difficult than the Limit Realm!
Limit Realm was just cultivating a technique to its limit, while Ultimate Realm required great wisdom to cultivate a realm to its ultimate form where no further progress could be made.
"Unexpectedly, the path of the Second Ultimate Realm is like this…"
Li Hao murmured to himself, also feeling again that the various Limit Realms were interconnected, even influencing the cultivation of the Ultimate Realm.
Without Immortal Transformation, even if he had thought of this qi meridian route, he would have eventually given up.
After all, the celestial curtain could not be broken through, so he could not sense the star laws. Only by using the state of Immortal Transformation, merging with天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), could he pass through the celestial curtain.
Without the Sixth Limit Realm, he could not cultivate the Second Ultimate Realm!
Time flew by.
Li Hao sat cross-legged on this mountaintop to cultivate.
Three months passed in a flash.
Condensing the first qi meridian initially took Li Hao five days, but later condensing qi meridians and comprehending star laws were largely similar, and the speed increased significantly. A qi meridian could be condensed in just two to three hours.
Even so, in the past three months, Li Hao had condensed 368 qi meridians!
Corresponding to 368 stars!
Including the star Li Hao first comprehended, he discovered that the rest of the stars were also painted, only constructed by condensed laws, not spherical bodies.
"These two stars, the sun and moon, can condense two large qi meridians!"
Li Hao looked up, gazing at the sun and moon simultaneously hanging in the sky. It was just that the laws on the sun and moon alternated, one bright and one dark, taking turns.
Li Hao didn't stop, continuing to comprehend.
When he used Immortal Transformation and his mind touched the scorching sunlight outside the celestial curtain, Li Hao immediately felt a burning sensation.
Fortunately, he had already condensed his primordial spirit, and now comprehending the scorching sun slightly offset the erosion of many laws.
Li Hao discovered that this scorching sun was not painted, but a spherical body, round and red, burning with fierce flames, like a real sun!
But it still contained condensed laws and the supreme Flame Dao. The complexity of this Flame Dao was countless times more profound than what Chi Guang had previously displayed.
Li Hao stuck close to the celestial curtain, wholeheartedly comprehending.
Another half month passed. The laws in the scorching sun were captured by Li Hao, revealing traces and patterns. He condensed a massive qi meridian in his body, integrating it into the light of the scorching sun.
However, after this qi meridian integrated, it was immediately impacted by a vast power and collapsed in an instant.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then somewhat dumbfounded. The reason for the collapse was that this qi meridian was not large enough.
He immediately condensed a qi meridian a hundred times larger than other qi meridians and integrated it into the scorching sun laws again. Only then could it barely withstand it.
As the scorching divine sun power poured into his body, Li Hao's whole body seemed to radiate a vigorous aura like a furnace. Moreover, the complex Flame Dao laws also seemed to permeate into the qi meridian, making the qi power in his body contain pure flame power. This power could not dissipate, and once touched, it would burn forever.
After comprehending the divine sun, Li Hao then focused on the bright moon.
This moon was also a massive spherical body, emitting a cold, yin light.
Li Hao calmed down and comprehended. More than ten days passed, and another supreme yin qi meridian was condensed.
By this time, nearly four months had passed.
Li Hao had condensed 370 qi meridians in his body, including the divine sun and supreme yin two large qi meridians.
Li Hao knew that this was far from the end, he could condense more, become stronger!
But this required time.
Li Hao asked Hong Yue beside him how long he had been cultivating.
For four months, Hong Yue had seen Li Hao bathed in anomalies, seemingly in secluded cultivation, without any other actions, only occasionally emitting terrifying auras that made her feel frightened.
Now seeing Li Hao ask, she quickly answered.
While Li Hao was cultivating, she had been calculating the time for him.
During this period, Li Hao occasionally took out some ingredients from the天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) space and gave them to Hong Yue to handle herself, not letting her go hungry.
After all, she was only at the Fifteen Mile Realm and could not fast for long periods.
Seeing the time Hong Yue said was about the same as his estimate, Li Hao nodded. He looked at the stars overhead. If he hadn't come to the Battlefield of Heavens and seen these beautiful stars at close range in this high sky, he wouldn't have conceived such an idea.
The myriad stars in the sky seemed countless. Li Hao didn't know if his qi meridians could also be countless.
But so far, he hadn't felt a bottleneck, hadn't reached the end.
"The Second Limit Realm Heavenly Earth Meridian draws on the power of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), it is the foundation to support many Limit Realms. This Second Ultimate Realm, I'm afraid it's the same."
Li Hao's eyes flickered. It is said that even a skilled housewife cannot cook without rice. Without enough power, any Limit Realm or Ultimate Realm could only be sighed at from afar.
There was about a month left until the Supreme Heavenly Pride Battle. Feeling the surging power in his body, Li Hao wasn't sure if he had the ability to contend with Saints at this moment.
But he knew that relying solely on power was probably still lacking, unless he could truly cultivate the path of the Second Ultimate Realm to its extreme.
But condensing qi meridians took time. In the next month or so, Li Hao wanted to try other methods.
Now, the embryonic form of his Saint Dao had already sprouted.
He had stepped into the Half-Saint level with half a foot.
Previously, in the Buddhist sacred land, debating with the Buddha Venerable had planted a seed in his heart.
But Li Hao felt that the seed could sprout several routes, such as the Dao of All Living Beings.
This path was the Sword Saint's path.
He viewed all living beings as different, with high and low, all worthy of appreciation. This was the embryonic form of the Dao of All Living Beings.
But Li Hao was unwilling to walk the Dao of All Living Beings. Although this Dao was close to his heart, it only floated on the surface of his original intention.
Li Hao's eyes flickered. Only by condensing the embryonic form of the Saint Dao could he be considered qualified to contend with Saints. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have the qualification to be at the table.
After all, Saints only needed to unleash their Saint Dao to easily destroy his myriad techniques.
The so-called "one trick, eat all you want," the Saint Dao was all-encompassing. Just revealing the Saint Dao could shake the mind and cause one's Great Dao to collapse.
The Realm of Hearing the Dao was ultimately just glimpsing the Dao of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), without one's own Dao.
Facing the Dao of oneself condensed by others, using the Dao of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) to resist would be easily defeated, unless the power was endless, and condensed with a thousand times or ten thousand times the strength, then there might be a chance to compete.
Li Hao's mind flickered. Comprehending the embryonic form of the Saint Dao also depended on opportunity and couldn't be done overnight. The panel couldn't help him, he could only rely on himself.
However, before comprehending the embryonic form of the Saint Dao, there was one opportunity, perhaps the panel could help him, even bring him great assistance.
This was also a secret he had heard at the Flower Viewing Assembly earlier.
Thinking of this, Li Hao no longer lingered here to condense qi meridians. With a little over a month left, even if he continued to cultivate, he could only increase by another hundred or so qi meridians. Although the improvement in strength would be great, it was not a qualitative change for his already condensed 370 qi meridian power.
Li Hao restrained his aura, and transformed from the Immortal Transformation state back to his former state.
Strands of silver hair floated down, turning into black hair, and the ancient aura of天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature) contained within his body also receded.
Li Hao opened his eyes, light flickering within, like reflecting the starry sky, so deep that people dared not look directly.
"You can go."
Li Hao stood up and said to the Azure Deer King, who had been sitting for four months.
The Azure Deer King's body had become numb from lying prone. Feeling the aura on his back suddenly receding like a tide, he awoke from his thoughts. When he heard Li Hao's words, he jumped up on the spot and stood up.
Perhaps he had been lying down for too long, he almost sprained his back, actually feeling a sense of soreness in his body.
These four months were not simply lying prone, but bearing a mountain-like pressure, constantly enduring terrifying power. If it were anyone else, they would have collapsed long ago.
"You're letting me go?"
The Azure Deer King looked at Li Hao in surprise, not expecting that the other party, having offended him so deeply, would dare to release him.
"You're unwilling?"
Li Hao asked back.
The corner of the Azure Deer King's mouth twitched. How could he be unwilling? He said coldly, "Even if you let me go today, I will still settle this score."
"As you wish."
Li Hao said indifferently. Although he had offended the other party, letting him go only offended the Azure Deer King. If he killed him, then the other party's master might take action.
Currently, Li Hao was unwilling to have conflict with a Supreme Saint.
Seeing Li Hao's casual appearance, the Azure Deer King choked with anger, but then, thinking of his feelings these past months, his eyes became complex again.
He knew that Li Hao didn't release him because he was unwilling to make enemies with the Mixed Heaven Holy Land, but he was not afraid of making him his enemy.
He was being looked down upon… but he felt a sense of powerlessness.
No one knew better than him what terrifying changes had occurred in this young man in the past few months.
That aura increased day by day. He had never seen anyone cultivate so outrageously, improving greatly every day, his strength skyrocketing.
To be precise, his aura would improve every few hours, cultivation was simply easier than eating and drinking, simply terrifying!
"Below the Saint level, I am no match for you, but when I become a Saint, I will definitely come to you for Dao debate!"
The Azure Deer King took a deep breath, glanced at Li Hao, and didn't say anything more. He was also afraid that Li Hao would go back on his word, so he quickly used Void Return Instant Shift, flying away and disappearing from the mountaintop.
Li Hao saw the other party leave as if fleeing, and couldn't help but smile, not taking it to heart.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back too."
Li Hao looked at Hong Yue and said, "Thank you for your hard work these past days."
"Young Master, what are you saying? It's my honor to accompany Young Master." Hong Yue said quickly, with a colorful gleam in her eyes.
She had clearly seen the Azure Deer King's imposing manner before the Heaven Stele. He was top-tier among many Saint Sons, yet he was sat on by Li Hao for four months, astonishing.
Li Hao didn't decline politeness with Hong Yue. With a thought, he took out the communication tokens of Lin Baichuan and others and sent them messages.
After a moment, he received a message that they had all returned to the Heaven Stealing Holy Land.
When they returned earlier, they had sent a message to Li Hao, but Li Hao was in cultivation and had not received it.
They also hadn't found Li Hao's踪迹 (trace/whereabouts), so they could only return first.
In this Battlefield of Heavens, basically no one could threaten Li Hao, so they didn't need to worry about anything.
Seeing that they had all left, Li Hao immediately took Hong Yue on their return journey.
When passing by the Heaven Stele, Li Hao saw that the crowd gathered outside the Heaven Stele was significantly smaller than before, with only sparse figures.
Obviously, several months had passed, and the previous liveliness had long since faded.
Now, as the Supreme Heavenly Pride Battle approached, many people were making their final sprint.
Looking at the two supreme red characters on the Heaven Stele, Li Hao shook his head and smiled. This trip to the Battlefield of Heavens had yielded great gains. First, he had comprehended the path of the Second Ultimate Realm, and second, the small red bell in his mind could continue to resonate, bringing Dao rhythm close to enlightenment, assisting cultivation.
But Li Hao observed that each time it resonated, the red glow of the Dao Sound Bell would weaken slightly, presumably it was not endless.
Along the way, they encountered some void demons. These demons quickly dodged away when they saw Li Hao from afar.
When the Battlefield of Heavens was not open, these demons knew that the humans who could come here were all monstrous talents among humans, and they tried to avoid fighting them.
Returning to the Valley of Separation and Reunion, Li Hao sent a message to Old Feng. Soon, a void crack opened.
Li Hao stepped in with Hong Yue to return.
Inside the Heaven Stealing Holy Land.
"You're finally back, I thought you were worried about that Mixed Heaven Holy Land and would wait until the Supreme Heavenly Pride Battle started before returning."
Feng Boping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Hao's return. Although Li Hao's strength was enough to run rampant in the Battlefield of Heavens, it wasn't entirely without danger. After all, it was the high sky, with cracks, and there were also powerful great demons among the void demons. Even Half-Saints could become their food, so it was considered a dangerous place.
Hearing this, Li Hao's heart stirred and he said, "Did the Mixed Heaven Holy Land come looking for trouble with you?"
"Looking for trouble is not to be feared, at worst I just won't leave the Holy Land."
Feng Boping chuckled lightly, with a calm and unconcerned expression. He suddenly thought of something and looked left and right at Li Hao, saying, "What about that Azure Deer King? You wouldn't have really killed him, would you?"
"No, I let him go back."
Li Hao said.
Feng Boping breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, since the person is not dead, the Mixed Heaven Saint can't find fault with us. After all, it's just a junior spar, he, as a Supreme Saint, can't personally intervene."
Li Hao nodded, that was also what he thought.
"I heard you left your name on the Heaven Stele. You kid, you still cause such a commotion every time!"
When Feng Boping mentioned the Heaven Stele, a bright smile bloomed on his face.
When he first learned of this, he was somewhat dumbfounded, but then, thinking of Li Hao's talent, which had already shown brilliance in the mortal realm, even in this place full of heavenly talents, it still couldn't hide his sharpness.
Hearing this, Li Hao was somewhat embarrassed, this was also not his intention.
However, the benefits brought by leaving his name in blood were indeed pleasing to him.
"These past few months spent there, were you hunting void demons? Those demons' bodies contain void source, which is one of the important materials for nurturing Dao Calamity Emperor Weapons. Collecting some is also good."
Feng Boping said.
Dao Calamity Emperor Weapons were nurtured by天地 (Heaven and Earth/Nature), and the void source condensed in the bodies of void demons happened to be a kind of extremely pure energy, equivalent to the food of Dao Calamity Emperor Weapons.
"No, I just had some insights and went into secluded cultivation there." Li Hao said.
Although void source could nurture Dao Calamity Emperor Weapons, it was only equivalent to plain rice, and a very large quantity was needed to be effective.
Therefore, not many people were willing to hunt them, after all, most heavenly prides didn't even have the embryo of a Dao Calamity Emperor Weapon, let alone nurture it.
Feng Boping nodded, somewhat understanding, and didn't pursue the question, only saying, "There's about a month left, that Buddhist sect and Void Saint will definitely stir up some trouble. I plan to invite the Lie Heaven Saint to accompany me to protect you."
His relationship with Li Hao was already public knowledge. If the Buddhist sect and Void Saint wanted to assassinate Li Hao, they would definitely plan to get past him first. For this reason, he could only invite the Lie Heaven Saint to come forward.
"Lie Heaven Saint?"
Li Hao was stunned and looked at Old Feng in surprise, "Aren't you enemies with her?"
"Enemies?"
Feng Boping was puzzled, "Who did you hear that from?"
"There are only your two Holy Lands in the Little Thousand World, I thought you were mutually displeased with each other…" Only then did Li Hao realize he had misunderstood.
Feng Boping said, "Mutually displeased is true, but enemies is not the case. She… although her personality is not great, she is quite reliable at critical moments."
Li Hao looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you say before that you must never trust the Lie Heaven Holy Land?"
"…"
Feng Boping was speechless. After a moment, he said, "That depends on the situation. I've been dealing with her for a long time. This time there's an agreement. Anyway, I will ask her for help then."
Seeing that he had made arrangements, Li Hao nodded, but sighed in his heart. Old Feng was giving him too much protection, perhaps making some big favor promise.
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't even bother to rest. He let Hong Yue rest in the Holy Land's courtyard and said to Old Feng:
"I'm afraid I still have to trouble you with one more thing."
"Why are you being polite with me? Just say it."
Feng Boping said impatiently.
Li Hao said, "I want to go to Moon Gazing Cliff."
"Moon Gazing Cliff?"
Feng Boping was stunned, then immediately understood and couldn't help but smile, "You kid actually knows about that place. However, you are a sword cultivator, it is indeed right to go there."
In Moon Gazing Cliff, there was a stone wall. Sealed within the stele was a sword shadow, named Immortal Guiding the Way.
Countless swordsmen went to observe it, but found it difficult to comprehend. Even Sword Saints had failed to comprehend it. This led to the sword shadow of Moon Gazing Cliff becoming famous, attracting swordsmen from all over the world.
"The Buddhist sect and Void Saint may plan for this step. I'll go talk to Lie Heaven Saint and ask her to accompany us."
Feng Boping's eyes flickered and he said to Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded.
Feng Boping left. Before long, he returned, and Lie Heaven Saint also arrived at the Heaven Stealing Holy Land.
"Leaving your name on the Heaven Stele, blood-red name, truly extraordinary."
Lie Heaven Saint's first words when she saw Li Hao were said with a light smile.
Li Hao also realized that leaving his name on the Heaven Stele had made him enter the sight of many Saints.
If he were doing other things, Saints might not necessarily care to pay attention, after all, tides rise and fall, they had seen too many monstrous talents fall.
But leaving his name in blood on the Heaven Stele was something many Saints couldn't achieve, truly making them notice this junior.
"Senior is too kind."
Li Hao cupped his hands humbly.
Lie Heaven Saint chuckled and said, "I heard you want to comprehend Moon Gazing Cliff. There's only a little over a month left, I'm afraid it's too late, right?"
"Try it and see, anyway, there's only a month left, and nothing else can be done." Feng Boping said.
Li Hao nodded and didn't explain.
In fact, whether the sword shadow of Moon Gazing Cliff could be collected could be known by just going to see it.
If it couldn't, then he would use the remaining time to comprehend the embryonic form of his Saint Dao.
"Since that's the case, time is pressing, let's go."
Lie Heaven Saint said indifferently.
The three of them were all people who acted on their word. They immediately set off from the Heaven Stealing Holy Land and headed to the middle-level small world 'Fragrant Orchid World'.
Following the two Saints, traversing through layers of small world barriers, their travel speed was extremely fast, almost ten thousand miles in an instant.
In just a few hours, the three of them arrived before Moon Gazing Cliff in Fragrant Orchid World.
Moon Gazing Cliff stood tall and majestic, with a steep cliff in front, the sea surging with waves. There was a Daoist temple standing on the cliff top, and plaques jointly signed by dozens of divine dynasties and Holy Lands.
To comprehend at Moon Gazing Cliff, a fee was required.
Since Moon Gazing Cliff became famous, swordsmen from all over the world had come in droves, and this place had become a famous scenic spot, also enclosed by various forces in Fragrant Orchid World.
The fees collected were distributed to various forces. Outsiders who came here were naturally unwilling to provoke the various forces of Fragrant Orchid World for this small amount of money, and could only obediently pay the fee.
The fee was extremely high, but Feng Boping casually handed it over, paying the fees for two people.
Why two people? Because Lie Heaven Saint didn't pay, she claimed to be the Holy Daughter of a certain Holy Land and could come here to comprehend at will.
Deception successful.
"You're really a thief, even saving this little bit of money."
Lie Heaven Saint, who had entered by impersonating a Holy Daughter, glanced at Feng Boping, who was paying, and couldn't help but say.
Feng Boping smiled and said, "Where it comes from, let it go back. These external possessions are meant to be circulated."
He took the other party's money and paid it to the other party, not spending a penny of his own.
Li Hao was speechless at these two people. At least they were both Saints, one cheating and one stealing, the three of them could be considered to have sneaked in for free.
"Do not steal because the amount is small."
Feng Boping seemed to see through Li Hao's thoughts and said with a smile.
"Do not lie because the lie is small." Lie Heaven Saint also saw through Li Hao's thoughts and said indifferently.
Li Hao: "…"
Climbing up the steps, they arrived at the top of Moon Gazing Cliff and saw a huge stone wall.
