Chapter 406: Holy Infant Finally Formed, Second Immortal Transformation (10,000-Word Update Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Evidently, while Míxū Heaven was isolated from the outside world, news from beyond still managed to reach this place.

Li Hao said, "I dare not claim to be a demon prodigy. My name is Haotian."

"I've heard of your reputation. A rare genius in the Lands of the Myriad Heavens, once in ten thousand years. Not a reincarnation, yet comparable to a reincarnated sage. My disciple showed me your battle projection, it was indeed remarkable."

Saint Mítiān smiled, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration for Li Hao.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, chuckled lightly, and said, "You flatter me, senior."

Saint Mítiān said, "I heard that reaching the sixth extreme realm allows one to grasp a wisp of immortal power. If you can use that wisp of immortal power as a guide, perhaps I can refine a true Immortal Pill."

"Perhaps we can give it a try."

Li Hao suggested.

"Hmm."

Saint Mítiān agreed and immediately summoned his disciple, also a sage, to prepare the alchemy chamber and make necessary preparations.

Refining an Immortal Pill required not only an alchemy chamber and other auxiliary medicinal ingredients but also coordination with a grand formation to gather the sacred vein power of the holy land and channel it into the alchemy chamber, ensuring a full and potent power supply.

This preparation would take half a month. Li Hao, having nothing else to do, temporarily stayed in Míxū Heaven at Saint Mítiān's invitation.

"Does the elder also enjoy the Way of Chess?"

Li Hao observed that Saint Mítiān's courtyard was extremely simple, with another medicinal garden beside it and farming tools like hoes and shovels used for forging divine weapons, resembling an ordinary farmer's courtyard, just exceptionally clean.

Besides a teapot and two free-ranging cranes, there was also a chessboard set out on a mat in the courtyard.

"Yes, living for too long, with nothing else to do, one will always develop an interest in other things. The Way of Chess is quite profound and interesting. Do you also understand it?"

Saint Mítiān invited Li Hao to his courtyard as a guest, intending to serve him tea. This was tea he personally cultivated, harvested, and roasted, possessing miraculous effects. It could enhance cultivation, calm the mind, and consolidate one's Dao Heart.

If one had demonic thoughts and distracting ideas, a cup of this tea could purify and dispel them all.

"A little."

Li Hao was somewhat intrigued. It was rare to encounter a kindred spirit. He proactively said, "How about a game?"

Saint Mítiān, hearing this, put down his shovel and chuckled, "Then allow me to keep you company."

Having said that, he brushed off the soil from his clothes, patted his sleeves, and invited Li Hao to sit on the mat. He then beckoned and retrieved the prepared tea.

He first brewed and poured tea for Li Hao, saying as he poured, "In the past, I always had the little cranes keep me company. Although my disciples know my fondness for it and learn it to please me, their minds are too preoccupied with winning and losing, making the games unsatisfying. Please, don't hold back."

Pouring a cup for himself as well, his manner was casual and detached from worldly concerns.

Li Hao took a sip, feeling not only the refreshing tea fragrance permeating his senses and making his body's power surge and activate, but also a peculiar fragrance within the tea that entered his body. He couldn't help but praise, "Excellent tea!"

Subsequently, the two drank tea and played chess.

In the Way of Chess, true skill becomes evident within three to five moves.

After a few moves, the casual smile on Saint Mítiān's face became a little more serious, recognizing that Li Hao's chess skills were not mere pretense but genuinely refined.

Currently, Li Hao's chess skill was at the eighth rank, considered top-tier even in the Myriad Heavens.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Saint Mítiān's moves became less casual, his face full of smiles.

Li Hao also discerned the other's chess skill, even better than his own, which was quite rare. He couldn't help but feel delighted.

In their first game, Li Hao was defeated, but he felt a sense of joy, having rarely encountered a worthy opponent in chess.

In the following days, in Saint Mítiān's small courtyard, besides playing chess, Li Hao also accompanied Saint Mítiān in the medicinal garden, observing medicinal herbs. The elder used a small shovel to remove weeds from the herbs, adjust their root systems, and prune useless branches and leaves, while also casually telling Li Hao many things related to medicinal herbs.

Although Li Hao wasn't particularly interested, he listened quietly.

As their relationship grew closer, Li Hao found that this elder was quite amiable. He felt somewhat puzzled. After finishing a game of chess, he inquired, "Elder, I heard that Old Feng and Saint Huǎngtiān were both your disciples. What caused them to leave this place?"

Hearing Li Hao ask about this, the smile of victory on Saint Mítiān's face diminished considerably. He fell into a slight silence, took a sip of tea, and then adjusted his posture, looking towards the distant eaves outside the house.

"In truth, it was due to my youthful arrogance. I was too confident in myself in everything I did, acting unilaterally and wronging them."

"Oh?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised. This elder seemed very easygoing, it was hard to imagine him being arrogant and self-centered.

But he knew that time could change a person. Even ordinary mortals with a lifespan of merely a century might gradually grow to like and pursue things they disliked in childhood.

When one could understand things they once disliked, that was perhaps growth.

"Back then, they were both cultivating by my side, following me in alchemy and weapon crafting. They both possessed extremely high talent, and I taught them wholeheartedly. But later, on one occasion, we found the embryonic form of a top-tier Dao Weapon in a forbidden area."

"If that embryonic form could be properly refined, it had the potential to become the strongest Dao Weapon in the Myriad Heavens in my hands."

"Unfortunately, it was later lost."

"Those who could enter my weapon crafting secret chamber and access that Dao Weapon embryo were only them. So I suspected they were overcome by greed and stole it."

Saint Mítiān spoke, his voice growing lower, his gaze gradually falling from the horizon to the medicinal garden before him, though his vision was unfocused, as if still lost in memories.

Li Hao had previously heard a brief mention of this from the sage who had led the way. He remained slightly silent.

"You can probably imagine what happened afterwards."

"Under my furious interrogation, they stubbornly denied it. But I tried every method, and couldn't find that Dao Weapon on them."

"At the pleas of others, I released them, intending to observe them secretly, to see if they would bring out that Dao Weapon. But even when they became saints, they never revealed it…"

Saint Mítiān shook his head slightly, his eyes carrying a hint of vicissitudes, "To retaliate against me, they discarded all that I had taught them, and established their own saintly paths, one of theft, one of lies, just like I had accused them back then, saying they stole, saying they lied. I knew what they wanted to say…"

Li Hao was stunned, never expecting Old Feng and Saint Huǎngtiān to have such a past.

Theft, lies. Although Saint Mítiān hadn't elaborated, Li Hao could imagine the immense injustice and suffering they must have endured when falsely accused like that, likely even subjected to extreme torment and pain.

"Was the Dao Weapon ever found later?" Li Hao asked.

Saint Mítiān shook his head slightly, saying, "No news. But I already know it wasn't them who stole it. Back then, those who could enter my alchemy secret chamber, besides them, could only be other Supreme Saints. So as to whose hands it fell into specifically, I am still secretly investigating, but after so many years, no evidence has been found."

Li Hao nodded, glanced at the other man. Regarding this matter, who was right and who was wrong, was hard for him to discern.

However, he knew that as a third party, he had no right to judge right and wrong. That would be tantamount to placing oneself on a high pedestal and criticizing others.

The act of judging others' rights and wrongs, isn't that itself a kind of wrong?

"If this Immortal Pill can be refined this time, and help them touch the threshold of Supreme Sainthood, that would be a bit of compensation from me."

Saint Mítiān said in a low voice.

Li Hao nodded and didn't speak, just quietly drank his tea.

Half a month passed.

Preparations for refining the Immortal Pill were completed.

In the small courtyard, Li Hao was playing chess with Saint Mítiān when suddenly, Sword Master rushed into the courtyard.

Seeing the two playing chess, he hastily said, "Haotian, something has happened."

"Hmm?"

Li Hao and Saint Mítiān looked over simultaneously, their brows furrowed.

Sword Master's expression was somewhat unsightly as he said, "The outside world, the Myriad Heavens, is now spreading news about you everywhere, saying you monopolize the Immortal Path, using tyrannical means to prevent the ascendance of saints. Now, divine dynasties in various small worlds are all denouncing you for this."

Li Hao was stunned, finally understanding why his incense had diminished, with only the portion from the human world remaining stable as usual.

"Is this the work of the saints?"

Li Hao's expression turned cold. He hadn't expected them to involve even the common people.

"That's right. But they aren't openly targeting you. If you really want to investigate, they probably have already thought of ways to deal with it. Currently, there are too many forces spreading the news, it's impossible to track them all down."

Sword Master quickly added, "Now, public resentment is rising everywhere, all saying you are selfish. Look at your incense, has it been cut off?"

A murderous intent flickered in Li Hao's eyes, "It seems I've been too easygoing. To ruin my reputation... If I don't kill a few as a warning, they won't know their limits!"

"Doing so will only worsen your reputation. Now that rumors have started, they can't be extinguished," Sword Master said.

Saint Mítiān looked at Li Hao, saying, "I've also heard about your matter. I believe what you said, but my belief is useless. The means they are using now is simply to cut off your incense. They probably think you want to plunder the incense of this realm, hence these methods to force you to respond."

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, his mind racing, and he immediately realized the other's words were correct.

"If you act angrily now, they will only cry injustice. If you kill them, it will definitely be publicized. Then, the people of the Myriad Heavens will even more so see you as tyrannical and unreasonable. They will then have even more reason to unite and resist your tyranny," Saint Mítiān said.

Li Hao fell silent.

Saint Mítiān glanced at him, saying, "Currently, you have two options. The first is to negotiate peace with them, to make them stop, only then can this matter be calmed. The second is to endure it, endure it until a hundred years later, when this batch of mortals dies out, and then rebuild your incense shrines."

Li Hao knew that seeking peace with the saints was meaningless. As long as their desires weren't extinguished, they wouldn't believe anything he said.

"Never did I expect that guarding the ancient path, bringing ten years of peace to the Myriad Heavens, would result in this."

Li Hao sneered. At this moment, he truly had the urge to open the gap of the Xuanpin Gate and let them see for themselves, to take a look inside.

But this impulse was ultimately restrained by his rationality.

Once he did that, there would be no turning back.

Then, if ancient demons invaded, not only would his friends in the Myriad Heavens be affected, but the human world would also be invaded and influenced by ancient demons.

For the sake of the greater picture, he had to endure.

Sword Master looked at Li Hao with concern, worried that Li Hao would act impulsively and engage in a major battle with the saints. If that happened, many saints would inevitably fall, and Li Hao would also be in danger.

The small courtyard fell silent. After a long while, Li Hao's expression calmed down, and he said, "This matter, I accept it."

Saint Mítiān patted his shoulder in comfort, saying, "I know you are unwilling, but I believe that eventually, one day, you will clear your name."

Li Hao shook his head slightly, not wanting to mention this matter anymore, lest he become enraged.

He drank a mouthful of Saint Mítiān's tea, feeling his mood calm down a lot, and asked, "When will the Immortal Pill be refined? Once the Immortal Pill is refined, I'd like to visit the human world."

"Is your current state alright?"

A hint of concern appeared in Saint Mítiān's eyes.

Li Hao smiled faintly, "It's alright. What if many people despise me? I'm not doing it for them, but for my friends."

Saint Mítiān gave Li Hao a deep look, "I originally had a hint of such a guess, but now that you say so, I believe what you said before is indeed true. Back then, when the Immortal Gods vanished completely, I had a premonition that the Immortal Gods seemed to be fleeing, or rather, encountering some trouble. It seems that it is indeed so."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, his eyes slightly narrowed, saying,

"Ancestor Yuán, that old fellow, he probably also has some guesses, but his obsession with becoming immortal is too deep. Perhaps few people know that his ancestors were Immortal Gods!"

Li Hao was slightly startled. Ancestor Yuán's ancestors were Immortal Gods?

He couldn't help but think of Nangong Jian and the woman with the red-tasseled spear's words. Could it be that Ancestor Yuán was a descendant of that Celestial Emperor Tianyang?!

"He dreams of following in his ancestor's footsteps. He became a saint too early, experienced everything, and his lifelong wish is to take that step. If there's even a sliver of hope, he will go crazy to pursue it. You must be careful of him," Saint Mítiān reminded him.

Li Hao nodded slightly, he had also sensed the deep-seated obsession in Ancestor Yuán.

Shaking his head, Li Hao said, "Let's not think about these things. Let's do what we need to do first."

"Alright."

Saint Mítiān nodded.

Subsequently, Saint Mítiān led Li Hao to the alchemy chamber, politely declining Sword Master at the door.

"Has the sacred vein been connected to the alchemy chamber?"

Saint Mítiān asked his disciple, for refining the Immortal Pill, the methods were extremely intricate, and he still needed his disciple to assist him.

"Everything is prepared."

The disciple replied, who was the sage who had previously guided Li Hao.

Saint Mítiān immediately took out an Immortal Herb, first using other spiritual medicines to draw out fine silk-like strands from the Immortal Herb, and then handed it to Li Hao.

"Take a look, can these fine strands be used to refine the immortal power within?"

Saint Mítiān's expression was somewhat solemn.

Li Hao's previous suggestion to help him refine the Immortal Pill was not without some confidence. Besides extracting the immortal power within, his current tenth rank cooking Dao also had an auxiliary effect on refining Immortal Pills.

Li Hao raised his hand, and in the void, Primordial Chaos Divine Fire condensed.

When the flames appeared, Saint Mítiān and his disciple beside him simultaneously widened their eyes, exclaiming in shock,

"Primordial Chaos Divine Fire?!"

They had never imagined that Li Hao could casually unleash Primordial Chaos Divine Fire. This was the top-tier flame for refining weapons and pills, born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. No other flame in the world could surpass it.

At this moment, Li Hao used the Primordial Chaos Divine Fire to envelop the fine strands of the Immortal Herb, treating it as an ingredient for cooking and extraction. His hair gradually turned silver, entering the ultimate Immortal Transformation state.

Borrowing a wisp of immortal power from the Immortal Transformation, Li Hao began to condense the fine strands of the Immortal Herb.

Saint Mítiān saw the changes in the fine strands of the Immortal Herb, and his expression immediately became excited, knowing that Li Hao had truly succeeded.

Subsequently, he continuously passed the fine strands of the Immortal Herb to Li Hao. As they were constantly refined, drops of Immortal Dew emerged.

Worried about evaporation and dissipation into Heaven and Earth, Saint Mítiān quickly composed himself, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and began the alchemy process.

After Li Hao had extracted all the Immortal Herb strands, he sat aside, exiting the ultimate Immortal Transformation state.

Saint Mítiān did not shy away from Li Hao, demonstrating his alchemy techniques in front of him, including the auxiliary ingredients incorporated into the Immortal Pill.

"Haotian, could you use your Primordial Chaos Divine Fire to add to the flame?"

As a large amount of medicinal ingredients were incorporated into the alchemy furnace, Saint Mítiān suddenly said to Li Hao.

Li Hao naturally wouldn't refuse, condensing the Primordial Chaos Divine Fire and sending it to the bottom of the alchemy furnace, then letting Saint Mítiān control the flame's intensity.

As the fragrance of medicinal ingredients diffused, the alchemy furnace vibrated slightly. Waves of Great Dao aura gathered from the outside, even before the pill was formed, it was already enveloped in misty auspicious light, and faint rumbles of thunder seemed to echo in the air.

Li Hao sensed that the energy within the entire alchemy chamber was extremely dense, truly worthy of gathering the power of a sacred land.

With the Primordial Chaos Divine Fire refining, precious and peerless medicinal ingredients were continuously fed into the alchemy furnace.

Time continued to pass. Three days later.

The misty auspicious light within the entire alchemy chamber gradually dissipated. The many peculiar fragrances that filled the chamber also disappeared.

Even the dense energy in the alchemy chamber became thin, but within the alchemy furnace, there seemed to be occasional clanging sounds, as if iron pellets were striking the furnace.

Saint Mítiān's face was flushed red by the firelight, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his snow-white beard and hair were soaked. His expression grew increasingly tense. The continuous refinement for three days, the extreme consumption of mental energy, every control of the flame's temperature had to be within the most minute degree, without any room for error.

Li Hao sat aside, he only needed to continuously provide Primordial Chaos Divine Fire.

Saint Mítiān had asked him once in between if he could still hold on, and Li Hao had indicated that he was fine.

Seeing Li Hao's relaxed demeanor, Saint Mítiān was also much relieved, and then no longer distracted by Li Hao, but focused wholeheartedly on refining.

Li Hao saw that the previous signs surrounding the alchemy furnace had all disappeared, and instead, became somewhat worried, could it be that it was about to fail?

But seeing Saint Mítiān's expression, which was even more tense than before, and even carried a hint of excitement, Li Hao felt that perhaps this was the prelude to the pill's completion.

Along with the burning of the Primordial Chaos Divine Fire, suddenly, the entire alchemy furnace trembled slightly, and a crack actually spread across its surface!

Subsequently, Li Hao saw from within the crack, a dazzling auspicious light burst forth, that light was like a liquid, carrying a color as viscous as could be.

Furthermore, a fragrance that made Li Hao's bones feel almost numb wafted out.

While Li Hao was amazed, Saint Mítiān's expression drastically changed, his entire body's power suddenly erupted. Heavenly and Earthly Veins condensed behind him, attracting immense power from Heaven and Earth.

He channeled this power into the alchemy furnace, and at the same time, urged his disciple beside him,

"Quick, the Immortal Pill is too potent, the sacred vein's power can't keep up, channel power into the alchemy furnace!"

His disciple was startled, and hastily also unleashed Heavenly and Earthly Veins, but the continuous days of pill refining had greatly depleted him. At this moment, with Heavenly and Earthly Veins pushed to their limit, the cracks on the alchemy furnace multiplied.

Seeing this scene, Li Hao couldn't help but ask, "Is it enough? Do you need more?"

Saint Mítiān, hearing this, hastily said, "Yes, the more the better! I underestimated this Immortal Pill, it needs too much power, it's already conscious!"

Hearing these words, Li Hao no longer hesitated, immediately unleashing Myriad Heavens Star Veins.

In an instant, the place where he sat seemed to transform into a vast starry sky.

1464 brilliant starlight stars surrounded his body, and then reflected rays of starlight, dazzling to the extreme.

These starlight rays brought vast power, pouring into Li Hao's body, in a mere instant, Li Hao's aura actually surpassed Saint Mítiān's disciple.

As Li Hao released ten wisps of immortal power from his body, converting it into immense power of Heaven and Earth, the power gathered around him instantly surpassed even Saint Mítiān.

Subsequently, under Saint Mítiān's astonished gaze, Li Hao pushed this power entirely into the alchemy furnace.

Although Saint Mítiān had said the more the better, Li Hao still held back slightly, only using ten wisps of immortal power. If he unleashed all thousand wisps of immortal power in his body, he was worried that the Immortal Pill might not be able to withstand it.

However, he also couldn't unleash a thousand wisps of immortal power right now. Previously, on the ancient path, Li Hao had tested his limit of endurance. Merely a hundred wisps of immortal power converted into Heaven and Earth power was already his current limit of control. Converting more immortal power would instead cause him backlash, becoming unbearable.

After all, he was only a saint now. This was still related to his physical sanctification, plus he had devoured the demon body of Saint Hùntiān. His physical body was strengthened on the ancient path to be able to do this. If it were other saints, even ten wisps of immortal power's worth of power would probably be saturated to the limit.

Boom!

With the influx of Li Hao's power, the cracks on the alchemy furnace instantly stopped. At the same time, a booming sound suddenly erupted from within the alchemy furnace, like something breaking out of its shell.

After a few breaths, suddenly, a muffled thunderous rumble sounded!

Saint Mítiān abruptly looked up, his gaze seeming to penetrate layers of formations, seeing the dome outside the alchemy chamber. There, clouds gathered, it was clearly a thunder tribulation!

"This, this is Immortal Tribulation?"

Saint Mítiān sensed the might of the thunder tribulation, his pupils slightly constricted, somewhat shocked.

But fortunately, he was prepared for this.

He quickly activated the formations outside the alchemy chamber. This Immortal Tribulation was not for him to overcome, but for that Immortal Pill to overcome.

This was the tribulation belonging to that Immortal Pill!

With a whoosh, the top of the alchemy furnace suddenly burst open, blown off, and an Immortal Pill radiating silver light shot out from within, scattering endless auspicious light, and emitting a fragrance ten times richer than before.

The Immortal Pill directly shattered the formations of the alchemy chamber, pierced through the roof, and soared into the high sky.

Li Hao was somewhat astonished, this was his first time seeing an Immortal Pill undergoing tribulation.

Pills could actually have tribulations.

He saw the Immortal Pill soar into the high sky, and the thunder tribulation also descended at this moment, striking the Immortal Pill, engulfing it. Endless thunderous might spread out, dimming the entire sacred land.

Li Hao discovered that this thunder tribulation had great power, but besides that, what was truly terrifying was that the tribulation clouds contained a wisp of immortal power.

This wisp of immortal power was pure, comparable to a hundred wisps of immortal power in his body combined.

Li Hao's eyes flickered, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, if he were to bear this thunder tribulation now, he wondered if he could withstand it.

If there was no immortal power in his body, he would probably perish under the thunder tribulation. Other Supreme Saints would also be unable to withstand it, but he had immortal power in his body, which would protect his bones. As long as the bones remained, he could regenerate.

At this time, as thunder tribulations roared one after another.

The formations prepared by Saint Mítiān were easily destroyed by the thunder tribulation, with the rest being resisted by the Immortal Pill.

In the roar of thunder, the Immortal Pill became even more dazzling and radiant, its luster becoming more rounded, and silver radiance bloomed.

After a moment, six thunder tribulations descended, the tribulation clouds dissipated, and the Immortal Pill still stood tall in mid-air, emitting a fragrance after enduring tribulation.

Compared to the previous rich fragrance, this fragrance was lighter, but it had a peculiar aroma that penetrated into the soul, making it unforgettable.

"Thank you, benefactor."

Suddenly, a clear, crisp voice emerged in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, looking around, his gaze finally landing on the Immortal Pill. Was it speaking?

Li Hao was somewhat shocked.

At this moment, silver light flashed on the Immortal Pill, and then it suddenly drew an arc, flying away into the distance.

Saint Mítiān was stunned, and suddenly reacted, hastily chasing, "Not good, quickly seal off the sacred land, the Immortal Pill is escaping!"

But his reaction was still a step too late, the Immortal Pill vanished in the blink of an eye, without even leaving a scent behind.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. When Li Hao recovered, he saw the dazed Saint Mítiān, whose expression was somewhat blank.

Li Hao was also dumbfounded, never expecting that the Immortal Pill would not only attract Immortal Tribulation, but also escape.

"Master..."

Beside him, Saint Mítiān's sage disciple's throat bobbed, somewhat muddled.

Saint Mítiān stood blankly for a long time before slowly recovering. He looked at the alchemy chamber with the roof penetrated, somewhat dazed.

The Immortal Pill he had painstakingly refined, the only Immortal Pill in the entire Myriad Heavens, had actually escaped.

He, as a Supreme Saint, was actually unable to catch up.

Li Hao thought of the words spoken by the Immortal Pill before it escaped, his gaze flickering. Was it thanking him because of the power he channeled at the last moment?

However, the Immortal Pill escaping was indeed a rather regrettable matter.

Saint Mítiān dejectedly returned to the alchemy chamber, glanced at the alchemy furnace, and suddenly, his originally listless eyes instantly froze. He then leaned over the alchemy furnace, reaching in.

Soon, he took out three pills.

These three pills had a moist and bright luster, with auspicious light like tiny dragon shadows circling them, emitting a very pleasant fragrance.

Although it couldn't compare to the soul-penetrating fragrance of the Immortal Pill, they were also obviously extraordinary.

"Actually subsidiary pills, three of them. It seems too much power was sent in earlier, and they were separated out by that Immortal Pill."

Saint Mítiān murmured to himself, his eyes lighting up, turning his head to look at Li Hao, his face already showing excitement and a hint of gratitude, saying,

"Honorable Haotian, it was thanks to you earlier that this Immortal Pill could be successfully refined. Originally, I didn't have much hope for this first attempt, but unexpectedly, the result exceeded expectations."

Li Hao smiled faintly, "It's also because of your excellent alchemy skills, senior."

"These subsidiary Immortal Pills, although they can't compare to the Immortal Pill, are enough to be called top-tier divine pills in the world. I can feel that they also contain a wisp of immortal power, enough to allow Feng'er and them to touch the threshold of Supreme Sainthood. Whether they can grasp it depends on themselves."

Saint Mítiān put away two pills, handing one to Li Hao, "Take this one. This time, I owe you a favor."

Li Hao glanced at it, pushing it back to him, saying, "This pill is of no use to me. I'm only at the first tribulation. Once I overcome the third tribulation, without this pill, I can also become a Supreme Saint."

The other party was using the immortal power within the pill to allow Old Feng and them to touch the Heavenly Dao, while he could touch the Heavenly Dao through Immortal Transformation. Taking pills was a bit of a waste.

Moreover, with the special condition of his panel attributes, it was unknown whether taking it would even have any effect.

However, if he really wanted to take pills, he could improve it, making it into a dish. That way, he could not only neutralize the pill toxins but also savor a delicious meal.

"This..."

Saint Mítiān hadn't expected Li Hao to reject such a pill. This was an opportunity to possibly become a Supreme Saint, any saint would covet it.

However, the confidence displayed by Li Hao made him even more impressed, a look of admiration appearing in his eyes, saying,

"The saints of the Myriad Heavens have already cultivated for tens of thousands of years, some for tens of thousands of years, already on the verge of decline. There aren't many left who are as confident as you."

Saints were all exceptionally talented individuals, full of vigor in their youth, but as the days of cultivation grew longer, this vigor gradually disappeared, leaving only prudence and calculation.

"Since that's the case, I'll accept this one for now. Coincidentally, I have a mediocre disciple who also needs to use it. Next time I refine, if there are still subsidiary pills, I'll give them to you."

Saint Mítiān chuckled, saying, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, even if you don't use it yourself, you can give it to others, this is a top-tier trading commodity."

Hearing this, Li Hao thought of Sword Master, couldn't help but nod slightly, asking, "When will the next refinement be?"

"The other auxiliary materials are almost used up, all of them are rare medicinal herbs. I need to prepare again, it might take a few years," Saint Mítiān said.

"Alright."

Li Hao said, "If you need anything then, feel free to look for me at any time."

Saint Mítiān smiled, and then escorted Li Hao out of the alchemy chamber.

"When they wake up, these two pills will be given to them."

Saint Mítiān brought Li Hao back to the small courtyard, pouring tea for Li Hao.

After Li Hao finished drinking the tea, he brought up the matter of taking his leave. He had rested here long enough, and wanted to go elsewhere to take a look.

Seeing this, Saint Mítiān didn't try to keep him. He knew Li Hao had many things to deal with.

"When you have time, remember to come find me for a game of chess," Saint Mítiān said.

Li Hao nodded, his eighth-rank chess skill was improving slowly. Chess skills needed to be honed by playing against others to gain experience, but these days playing chess with Saint Mítiān, his eighth-rank experience had already accumulated to full.

Next, he only needed to comprehend the mental state to step into the ninth rank.

Li Hao bid farewell to Saint Mítiān, and then left with Sword Master.

"I've told Sword Saint and Literary Saint about this matter. Currently, no one in Canglan Realm is mentioning your matter, but with travelers from other small worlds coming, it's still causing some impact."

Sword Master said to Li Hao, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, saying, "Cutting off my incense, I will make them repay it tenfold afterwards."

Hearing Li Hao say this, Sword Master didn't say anything more.

Li Hao accompanied Sword Master back to Canglan Realm, returning to this first small world he had come to in the Land of Saints. Li Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia in his heart.

He sensed the divine blood imprint he had left behind in Canglan Divine Dynasty. His divine sense swept over and found that there were no longer any statues of his divine shrines within Canglan Divine Dynasty. Evidently, even if the common people had not received the news, the monarch of that divine dynasty had long ago sensed the rumors from outside.

Li Hao couldn't help but scoff. A crumbling wall is pushed by everyone.

Fortunately, even if everyone pushed, they couldn't crush him.

He immediately withdrew that divine blood imprint, and then came to Sword Ancestor Sacred Land.

His divine sense encompassed the land. Li Hao saw Lin Shanhai and other alchemists. They were still as usual, eating, drinking, basking in the sun, sorting medicinal ingredients, and other daily routines.

However, Li Hao didn't see Lin Qingying's figure, couldn't help but inquire with Sword Master, but Sword Master shook his head, indicating he didn't know.

Li Hao immediately went to find Sword Saint.

"She went out traveling, saying she wanted to wander around," Sword Saint looked at Li Hao, his expression complex.

He was also present when Ancestor Yuán and God King and others discussed matters. Afterwards, Ancestor Yuán and God King forced the saints to swear by their Saintly Paths, forbidding them from informing Li Hao of the news.

Therefore, he knew everything about what was happening outside.

Hearing Sword Saint's words, Li Hao thought of that woman's cold and beautiful face, slightly lost in thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled faintly, and went to visit Old Man Lin Shanhai and others.

Seeing Li Hao's arrival, Lin Shanhai and others were exceptionally surprised. The current Li Hao was already a celebrity in the Myriad Heavens. After becoming a saint, they had few opportunities to see Li Hao. Although they were all advanced alchemists, their status was slightly lower than semi-saints, and even less comparable to saints.

Now seeing Li Hao still treating them as old friends, they were all secretly excited.

Li Hao reminisced with Lin Shanhai and others, staying for a few days, then contacted Ancestor Qing, Ancestor Ye and others in the Flower Excursion Society, agreeing to meet in Yunxia Realm.

The current Yunxia Realm, without Void Sacred Land, only had Primordial Sacred Land and Military Sage Sacred Land.

Ji Xuanshen and Mingyue Jian and others were also in this place. More than ten years had passed, and their cultivation had advanced further. Ji Xuanshen had already reached the semi-saint realm, comparable to the Ji family's Third Ancestor who was in perennial slumber, becoming the undisputed number one person in the current Ji family.

Mingyue Jian had also condensed the embryonic form of a Saintly Path, stepping into the semi-saint realm, his strength progressing extremely rapidly.

The rest were still hovering in the Knowing Dao Realm, but their strength had all improved.

The Primordial Saint of Primordial Sacred Land saw Li Hao's visit, knowing that Li Hao had come to visit his disciples Ji Xuanshen and others, but when he saw Li Hao, his expression was somewhat complex.

He was also present during the conspiracy of Ancestor Yuán and others. Regarding Li Hao's unwillingness to open the Immortal Gate, he was also dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't express it too obviously.

Now, Li Hao came alone, and he didn't intend to bring up this matter. If he displeased Li Hao, Primordial Sacred Land couldn't withstand this fierce god.

"I heard that Honorable Haotian has come to our sacred land."

"What is he doing here? Isn't he monopolizing the Immortal Path, wanting to become immortal alone?"

"This kind of selfish villain, I heard he's friends with Ji Xuanshen and them."

"I didn't expect Ji Xuanshen and them, such generous people, to have such friends. Although he's very talented, he's just too selfish."

"This world is like this, selfish people can always walk faster."

In the sacred land, many disciples who learned of the news whispered amongst themselves.

How powerful was Li Hao's primordial spirit? Now his divine sense could even barely cover a small world.

Not only were the disciples in the sacred land discussing, but in the various divine dynasties in Yunxia Realm, there was also news about him, but it was all negative.

"Haotian."

Ji Xuanshen and Mingyue Jian and others saw Li Hao, but were as usual, extremely enthusiastic and happy.

Li Hao saw them, and the coldness in his eyes also dissipated, revealing a smile.

Subsequently, Li Hao took them to choose the best restaurant in Yunxia Realm, booking the entire venue.

"Haotian, don't take those rumors outside to heart. We believe you're not that kind of person."

At the dinner table, before even touching the chopsticks, Ji Xuanshen seriously said to Li Hao.

When he first heard this news, including his master, were extremely indignant at Li Hao's behavior, but he was only shocked.

Afterwards, he even argued with his master about this matter. He knew Li Hao was definitely not that kind of person.

How proud was that youth?

Back then, coming alone to the Ji family, facing all the doubts, he didn't say a word of defense.

He only used his mortal bones and iron fists to shatter all doubts. Facing the Ji family's repeated offers to stay, he remained unmoved. How could he be the selfish person that was rumored?

Ji Xuanshen absolutely did not believe it, and he did not think he would misjudge someone.

"That's right, this news is spreading throughout the Myriad Heavens, I don't know which saint resents you, the methods are too despicable."

Other Ji family geniuses also immediately said.

They were all people who had lost to Li Hao back then, having personally witnessed how this youth had step by step, bearing countless doubts, walked to the Ji family's peak Dao arena, with that peerless demonic talent, silently telling everyone that those doubts were all misunderstandings of him.

"We all believe you."

Mingyue Jian now looked like he was in his twenties, handsome and extraordinary, looking gentle and refined, saying to Li Hao with certainty and sincerity.

Li Hao smiled, it was because of these friends that everything he did was worthwhile.

"We have already mobilized all channels of the Flower Excursion Society to help you find the source,"

Beside him, Ancestor Qing and Z旃tan and others also looked at Li Hao. Z旃tan was the vice president of the Flower Excursion Society, he was extremely clear about Li Hao, if the other party cultivated selfishly, how could he be so passionate about paintings.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, saying, "No need to search, I know who they are."

They mistakenly thought it was a certain saint, but they didn't know it was the doing of all the saints of the Myriad Heavens.

Li Hao didn't expose it either, this matter would be settled sooner or later.

"You know?"

Hearing Li Hao's words, everyone was surprised, not expecting Li Hao to know.

Z旃tan was meticulous, seeing Li Hao actually bear it calmly, but not seek revenge, couldn't help but have his expression change slightly, saying, "Could it be... a Supreme Saint?"

Li Hao smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Seeing Li Hao's expression, everyone's expressions changed, the Supreme Saint's status in the Myriad Heavens was deeply rooted and far-reaching. No wonder Li Hao knew but didn't act.

"Everyone, no need to worry about these things. Sooner or later, it will all pass like a gust of wind. Tonight, let's only talk about happy things, don't waste this table full of food," Li Hao laughed.

Seeing Li Hao like this, everyone's gazes were complex, all feeling the pressure Li Hao was enduring.

They asked themselves, if they were targeted by a Supreme Saint like this, they were afraid they would be terrified, having nightmares, unable to sleep.

At the same time, while Li Hao was reminiscing with old friends from the human world and people from the Flower Excursion Society.

On the other side, in Tianyuan Sacred Land.

Ancestor Yuán, who was sitting in his cave dwelling with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. His calm and unperturbed eyes now revealed an unusual delight.

"Actually, truly touched it?"

"This is the sixth extreme realm? Merging with Heaven and Earth!"

Not long after he sensed this, suddenly, saintly decrees vibrated, many saints sent messages, conveying the progress of the human world's second Holy Infant to Ancestor Yuán.

This second Holy Infant had comprehended the sixth extreme realm!

That night, saints from many sacred lands were extremely excited, hurrying to Tianyuan Sacred Land overnight.
