Chapter 411: Clearing Injustice, Desperate Straits Arrive

Origin Ancestor didn't hide anything, simply recounting Li Hao's deeds in the Heavens over the past decade to them.

After listening to Origin Ancestor's account, everyone from the Li family was stunned. The shock in their hearts was beyond measure, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

They had originally thought that Li Hao coming to the Heavens would at most allow him to thrive, like a fish in water. Who would have thought that in just over a decade, he would have already reached the pinnacle of the Heavens, making even these Sages before them—who established divine dynasties in the mortal realm and left behind countless faiths and legends—need to be wary and look up to him.

"Rising from the Azure Billow World, defeating all the prodigies of the Heavens, reaching the top, becoming a Sage on the spot, invincible in the Heavens…"

Many Sages accompanying them couldn't help but sigh with emotion as they heard Origin Ancestor recount Li Hao's journey. That young man was truly too monstrous, like a comet suddenly appearing in the sky, so dazzling that he attracted worldwide attention, known to all.

Li Tiangang and the others were speechless with shock. They hadn't imagined that the child who had already shown dazzling talent in the mortal realm would, upon arriving in this Heavens world teeming with geniuses, be even more like a dragon entering the sea, leaping over his own true dragon gate of destiny.

"Invincible in the Heavens…"

Shock and disbelief filled Li Pingan's eyes, his face turning pale, his body seeming to sway.

He hadn't expected that the shadow he had been chasing had already reached such a distant place.

The Divine King took everyone to the Sacred Ground of the Heavens, then bid farewell to Origin Ancestor and returned to the ancient hall to guard it.

The avatars of the Sages also disappeared, and Origin Ancestor retracted his aura, but the dense aura of the Great Dao still surrounded him, like the center of the entire world, making people instinctively look up in awe.

The other Sages also concealed their auras, otherwise, if they were revealed, those below the Way-Hearing Realm would be unable to bear it, unable even to walk.

As the Li family members were filled with apprehension, Origin Ancestor brought them to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Ground. The energy here was rich and the environment extremely beautiful, like a fairyland on earth.

Origin Ancestor let them rest for a while, then projected the scenes of the divine dynasties destroyed by the ancient demons.

He had frankly recounted Li Hao's achievements earlier with his own intentions, hoping that after these people learned of Li Hao's special status, they could properly persuade Li Hao.

At this moment, as the ruins and broken walls were projected above their heads by Origin Ancestor, everyone from the Li family and Yu Emperor were stunned. The divine dynasties had fallen, and looking down from high altitude, countless cities were desolate and silent, filled with corpses, the flames of war spreading everywhere.

In a world guarded by Sages, there was actually such a great tragedy.

The figures of the ancient demons were also projected. Origin Ancestor slightly applied a trace of law, and everyone immediately felt the overwhelming malice and terrifying pressure, feeling a sense of horror even from just the projection.

"This is the ancient demon, each one comparable to a top Sage."

Origin Ancestor said in a low voice, "Now, only Heavenly Venerable Hao can be asked to take action to suppress them. But even so, it is only a temporary solution. The ancient demon army is endless and boundless. We can only ask Heavenly Venerable Hao to take us to seek refuge together, preserve the spark of civilization, and wait until someone becomes a True Immortal. Perhaps then we can reverse the situation and drive out the ancient demons."

Hearing his words, although they couldn't fully understand, everyone understood that the Heavens were facing an unprecedented catastrophe.

They just hadn't expected that the only option for this catastrophe was to seek refuge.

"Persuading Heavenly Venerable Hao depends on you all."

Origin Ancestor said solemnly to everyone, his eyes gentle and sincere.

Seeing him, a Sage, being so peaceful and amiable, everyone felt a sense of goodwill towards him.

Li Tiangang said, "In the face of such a calamity, as martial artists, we should naturally take action. There is no reason to retreat."

As he spoke, he felt his wife quietly tug at his sleeve, and couldn't help but look at her in confusion.

Ji Qingqing didn't speak, but a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes as she remained silent.

Li Muxiu's eyes flickered. Although he felt goodwill towards this Sage before him, he always felt that the other party's words were somewhat strange.

Moreover, he knew Li Hao very well. Even though it had been hundreds of years since they last met, perhaps people could change, but he always felt that a person's nature was formed from childhood, and unless they experienced a major change, it was difficult to have opposite changes.

"Senior, may I ask what Heavenly Venerable Hao's thoughts are?"

While everyone was pondering, Yu Emperor asked respectfully.

His attitude was humble, but his back was straight, giving people a sense of imperial aura that was both soft and firm.

Hearing Yu Emperor's question, Origin Ancestor glanced at him, knowing that this person was a descendant of the Jiang family, and also the key descendant for Jiang Sage's resurrection.

The other party's seemingly ordinary question was actually quite tricky.

But his composure was equally profound, and he smiled and said, "Heavenly Venerable Hao previously had some minor misunderstandings with us. The fault lies with us. We are willing to offer everything to apologize to Heavenly Venerable Hao. However, the mistake has already been made. We only hope that Heavenly Venerable Hao can disregard past grievances, even if it is for the sake of the living beings of the Heavens, not for us, but for the common people."

Yu Emperor's eyes flickered slightly. The other party's words had already revealed a lot of information, and he immediately understood that his guess was not far from the truth.

It was definitely not as simple as the other party described. Otherwise, with that child's gentle nature, how could he ignore the common people?

"Since there are misunderstandings, in addition to our persuasion, you can also come with us to resolve the misunderstandings. Hao is kind-hearted. If it is a small misunderstanding, he will understand."

Yu Emperor said gently with a smile.

The Sages all saw that this mortal realm Emperor was meticulous in his thinking and not easy to fool, secretly calling him cunning in their hearts.

Origin Ancestor smiled and said, "Naturally, we have already apologized before, but as long as Heavenly Venerable Hao is willing to take action, it is okay to apologize ten or a hundred times more. This time, we will accompany you. We only hope that Heavenly Venerable Hao, even if not for our sake, can temporarily put aside his grievances for your sake."

Grievances… Yu Emperor nodded slightly and said, "We will properly persuade him when we see Heavenly Venerable Hao."

He had already seen that although these Sages were courteous to them, they were mainly using them to persuade Li Hao. Otherwise, there would be no such kind expressions.

Moreover, they had no choice; they couldn't negotiate terms with these Sages.

Seeing Yu Emperor personally make the decision, the Li family members didn't say anything more.

Origin Ancestor gestured to his disciple, Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu understood and turned to leave. Not long after, he returned with a group of figures behind him.

Seeing these figures, the Li family members were somewhat puzzled, but Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng were stunned. They saw several familiar faces among them, all of whom were past Li family ancestors who had come to the Sacred Ground of the Sages, and whose portraits were still in the ancestral hall.

With Origin Ancestor's introduction, both sides quickly learned that they were all members of the Li family.

Li Tiangang led Li Xuanli and the others in hurried greetings. Even Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng had to bow and pay their respects. Although their ages might be older than these ancestors because they had stayed in the mortal realm, in terms of seniority and bloodline, the other party was still their ancestor.

In the ancestral hall, many ancestral spirits flew out to visit these Li family members from the immortal sect.

The Sages patiently waited for them to recognize each other. Origin Ancestor dispersed the projection. Many things had already been explained in advance to the Li family members in the sacred ground, letting them carefully persuade Li Hao.

One night passed.

The next day, Origin Ancestor led everyone, accompanied by the Sages, to a certain place in the void to find Li Hao.

Thinking about meeting Li Hao soon, everyone was a little excited.

Ren Qianqian gripped the sword in her hand tightly, her heart surging. After hundreds of years, she was finally going to meet Li Hao again.

Before long.

With continuous void crossings and the Sages performing spatial shifts, these methods once again broadened everyone's horizons.

As a towering sacred mountain appeared in front of them, Origin Ancestor slowed down and led everyone to fly closer slowly.

On the sacred mountain, Li Hao was building the mountaintop.

His primordial spirit was powerful and had long enveloped the surroundings. When Origin Ancestor and the others just passed through the rift, he sensed their aura. After all, the Sages gathered together had too conspicuous an aura.

But besides the Sages' auras, Li Hao quickly sensed the presence of many familiar auras.

He couldn't help but be taken aback, then looked over in surprise, immediately seeing Yu Emperor, Ren Qianqian, and the others.

In addition, he also saw Second Master, Fifth Master, including his foster mother He Jianlan who had taken care of him since childhood.

And that little chubby guy… how did he become a big chubby guy?

Li Hao saw Li Yuanzhao, who was already middle-aged and pot-bellied, somewhat astonished.

If it weren't for the unchanged aura, he would almost not recognize him. The change was too great.

As they got closer, everyone also saw Li Hao and recognized him at a glance.

Li Hao's changes were not significant. For someone of his cultivation level, he could maintain a youthful appearance for thousands of years. If they weren't ashamed, even old Sages of tens of thousands of years would appear as children.

"Brother Hao!"

Li Yuanzhao, who was already middle-aged, couldn't help but get excited when he saw Li Hao for the first time. His eyes moistened, and he rushed directly towards Li Hao.

Yu Emperor's eyes slightly warmed, but he was more restrained. He only had one thought in his mind: this child really hasn't changed at all, he's still the same person he knew.

Ren Qianqian bit her lip lightly, tears rolling down her cheeks like broken beads. She floated towards Li Hao slowly, seemingly afraid that if she went too fast, the dream would wake up.

Beside her, Li Pingan stared blankly at that figure.

Like the countless statues he had seen, the changes, although there were some, were not obvious, just more handsome, more heroic, and with a more extraordinary and dazzling divine charm, a temperament that statues could not emit.

He is… his older brother?

Soon, Li Pingan noticed Ren Qianqian's appearance. Although she was behind him, his divine sense could see the excited look of the woman crying her heart out. He only felt his heart pierced fiercely.

"Yuanzhao, Qianqian."

Li Hao also stopped building when he saw them coming and happily greeted them.

Then, his gaze swept over and noticed Origin Ancestor and the Sages behind them, and immediately understood the reason.

But at this time, he was too lazy to let the Sages affect his mood. No matter what, being able to see them again was a happy thing.

"Brother Hao, I missed you so much…"

Li Yuanzhao plunged directly into Li Hao's arms, actually wailing loudly.

He looked clearly like a middle-aged strong man, but he spoke cheesy words like a child.

Li Hao was a little surprised, but didn't ask much, vaguely feeling that this little fellow seemed to be having a hard time.

Among the Li family members, a beautiful woman with exquisite hairpins and cold eyes, watched this scene in shock.

She was Li Yuanzhao's wife. Not long after marrying into the Li family, she heard that Li Yuanzhao had a very good relationship with the only Heavenly General of the Great Yu Dynasty, calling each other brothers. She thought Li Yuanzhao was boasting, because Li Yuanzhao's talent was one step away from being a rare genius, let alone comparing to that Heavenly General.

Especially not long after, Li Yuanzhao suddenly became dejected and drunk all day long. When she asked the reason, he wouldn't say.

She became even more dissatisfied and couldn't help but like to satirize and ridicule him from time to time. Over time, the relationship between husband and wife also became very poor.

Unexpectedly, she could see such a scene before her eyes.

That Great Yu Heavenly General, the invincible youth of the Heavens, was actually embracing her useless husband.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm still here…"

Li Hao patted his shoulder gently, comforting him softly.

At this time, Ren Qianqian also came over, tears in her eyes, just gazing at Li Hao with emotion.

Li Hao realized that she had also grown up quite a bit. The well-behaved sword-carrying girl who followed behind him back then now had a detached air, like a fairy, even more beautiful and moving.

Li Hao smiled at her and said, "Have you improved your swordsmanship in these years?"

Ren Qianqian felt a soreness in her nose and said, "I've been waiting for you to teach me swordsmanship again."

Li Hao also felt an indescribable warm current flowing through his chest, and his eyes seemed to have gotten sand in them. He grinned and said, "This time, I will teach you the strongest swordsmanship in the Heavens!"

Ren Qianqian bit her lip, just silently looking at Li Hao. Compared to the strongest swordsmanship in the Heavens, what she wanted was just to follow the young man in front of her, bask in the sun every day, and simply eat and drink, even without a sword, it didn't matter.

At this moment, others also flew to Li Hao one after another.

Li Hao's gaze swept over one by one, and found that under the carving of time, although many people had changed, their eyebrows and eyes were still so familiar.

"Second Master, Fifth Master, Foster Mother…"

Li Hao swept his gaze, and suddenly saw that Li Xiaoran was not among them, and couldn't help asking, "Where's Fourth Master?"

Li Muxiu didn't expect Li Hao to still remember the Fourth Master. He only felt that the youth before him was indeed still the same child he remembered. His heart was moved, and tears welled up, saying:

"Not long after you entered the immortal sect, Fourth Master wandered around everywhere and rarely returned to the Divine General's Mansion. He didn't come this time."

Li Hao understood. He heard that the Fourth Master liked to wander the world when he was young, extremely unrestrained.

"I originally planned to build the sacred mountain and then go look for you. Since you've come ahead of time, that's also good. Let me take you to see the sacred mountain I built. In the days to come, you may all be living here."

Li Hao immediately greeted everyone and landed on the sacred mountain.

He specially selected a very good location for everyone to settle down.

Among the crowd, Li Tiangang and Ji Qingqing saw that Li Hao's gaze directly skipped over them, and couldn't help but have their expressions change slightly, their eyes dimming.

Li Pingan saw that this older brother did not glance at him, and felt a sense of inexplicable loss in his heart, but at the same time, also a feeling of anger.

He found that the other party not only didn't care about him, but also seemed to completely ignore his parents.

As Li Hao greeted everyone to settle down, this place was an extremely vast open space, capable of building a large number of palaces.

Li Hao hadn't built any buildings yet, preparing to wait until he brought them over and let them build the courtyards they liked themselves.

"Li Hao."

Watching Li Hao chat and laugh with Yu Emperor and Ren Qianqian, completely ignoring his parents aside, Li Pingan finally couldn't hold back and shouted.

Li Hao frowned, looking over in confusion, seeing a handsome young man. He had noticed earlier that the other party's aura was the strongest among the Li family members, at the peak of the Way-Hearing Realm, but for him, these were not important.

Li Pingan spoke angrily, and just after he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sense of regret, cold sweat breaking out.

At the same time, he suddenly realized that the surroundings seemed to have become quiet all of a sudden, even it could be said, deathly silent.

Li Yuanhao, Foster Mother He Jianlan, and others who had been smiling before looked towards him, their faces all showing unease and tension, as well as silence.

That look gave Li Pingan an extremely uncomfortable feeling. In the past, even if he made mistakes or caused trouble, they had never looked at him with such expressions.

"You are living well in this Sacred Ground of the Heavens, so why haven't you come to the mortal realm to see your parents in all these years? Do you know how much your parents miss you!"

Although he felt uneasy in his heart, he still bit the bullet and said with gritted teeth.

He had been regarded as that person's shadow since childhood. Even in his parents' eyes when they looked at him, they often spaced out, and he only understood when he grew up that it was clearly like seeing an object and thinking of the person, missing someone else.

The thing he had been desperately pursuing but couldn't get, someone else easily grasped it, and now he looked like he didn't care at all, which he couldn't bear.

"Parents?"

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly when he heard the other party's address, and he immediately understood.

But there were no fluctuations in his heart. He said calmly, "The person you are talking about is already dead. Has no one told you?"

Li Pingan was stunned, looking at him in surprise and doubt, "What do you mean?"

Li Hao was too lazy to talk to him more and greeted Li Muxiu and Yu Emperor and others to go to the other side to talk.

At this moment, the sound of air being torn apart came from the void.

It was Ji Xuanshen and others driving top-tier treasures to arrive here. They were accompanied by friends they had made in the Heavens, quite a large number.

"Haotian, we're here."

Ji Xuanshen and others landed in front of Li Hao and also noticed the Li family members beside him. He felt somewhat familiar, but couldn't remember, just thinking of them as Li Hao's friends.

He showed a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, and said, "Look, do you think we've brought too many people?"

There were thousands of people standing beside him, including his friends, and friends who had their own connections. After Ji Xuanshen's selection, there were still thousands of people in the end.

Li Hao glanced at them and chuckled, "Not many. My sacred ground can accommodate billions of people. Let's fill it with you all first."

Hearing Li Hao say this, Ji Xuanshen breathed a sigh of relief. The people behind him also breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Li Hao would drive them out.

At the same time, they also noticed that besides this Heavenly Venerable Hao, the Sages were also here.

This couldn't help but make them somewhat astonished, not expecting that the Sages of the Heavens would actually gather here.

At this moment, more sounds of air being torn apart came from outside the sacred ground.

Many of Li Hao's acquaintances arrived one after another, including Chandana, Night Ancestor, and others.

Li Hao also saw Lin Qingying among them, followed by Lin Shanhai and many other alchemists, as well as her master.

In the blink of an eye, the place was filled with people.

The Li family members were secretly shocked to see so many people suddenly gathering, and all of them with powerful auras. Many were in the Four Extremities Realm, and many more were in the Way-Hearing Realm.

Judging from these people's appearances, they all seemed to be friends Li Hao had made.

Li Pingan stood in the crowd, his face changing from pale to red, looking at the figure surrounded by everyone, like a moon surrounded by stars. The various legends he had heard about him in the past seemed to have materialized before his eyes.

Some said that his older brother was a being of great renown, a born king.

Some said that his older brother was an unparalleled genius who appeared out of nowhere, incomparable to anyone.

Countless praises and honors made him feel that that figure seemed to stand on the top of a mountain, overlooking everything.

Now, the other party seemed to really be like that.

"I'm here, and my master and her friends… are there too many people?"

Lin Qingying walked to Li Hao's side. Her first words were also the same as Ji Xuanshen, worrying that she had brought too many people, adding burden to Li Hao.

Li Hao glanced at her and smiled, "This is nothing yet. Look at my sacred ground, does it look like it can't hold them?"

Lin Qingying breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Immediately, she also saw the Sages. Her expression changed slightly. She had already heard about Li Hao's matter from the Sword Master and felt wronged and indignant for Li Hao.

The disaster was clearly caused by the Sages, but they smeared Li Hao's reputation everywhere in the Heavens, causing Li Hao's incense offerings to be cut off.

"If you can't bear it, don't force yourself."

Lin Qingying said softly.

Li Hao nodded slightly.

Not long after, the void split open, and the figure of the Medicine Sage walked out from inside. She glanced around and saw that the Sages were all here, but there was no surprise on her face, just landing in front of Li Hao.

Seeing another Sage descend, the Li family members were shocked, feeling that the place where Li Hao was seemed to have become the center of these Heavens.

"I see your sacred ground is vast. The people I brought may be a bit numerous, about a hundred million. Can it handle them?"

Medicine Sage said softly.

Li Hao had expected this and nodded, "We've prepared places for you all long ago, no problem."

Medicine Sage breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Origin Ancestor and the others. Now that she was on the same side as Li Hao and accepted Li Hao's kindness, she naturally also wanted to vent her anger for Li Hao. She said indifferently:

"Why are you all free to be here, and not go block that gap? You said Heavenly Venerable Hao was selfish and self-interested before, and now you want to come and ask Heavenly Venerable Hao to wipe your asses?"

Hearing her words, everyone present was surprised and looked towards the Sages.

The Li family members and Yu Emperor and others were somewhat bewildered, saying Li Hao was selfish and self-interested?

They couldn't help but look at the Sages, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Although Origin Ancestor and others had briefly told the Li family members earlier that it was their negligence and fault, they didn't explain in detail, let alone mention smearing Li Hao in the Heavens. Now, being casually spoken of by Medicine Sage, they couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed, and even more secretly annoyed, worried that these words would ruin their important matter.

"It's all a misunderstanding. We have already apologized to Heavenly Venerable Hao."

Origin Ancestor could only force a smile while giving Medicine Sage a warning glance.

In the past, Medicine Sage would have been somewhat apprehensive, after all, she was not Origin Ancestor's opponent. That Seven Calamity Emperor Weapon was enough to suppress the Sages of the Heavens.

But now she had no apprehensions or fears, ignoring this implicit warning, she said indifferently:

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then why is it still circulating everywhere outside, saying that Heavenly Venerable Hao is selfish and self-interested, and blocking everyone from entering the Immortal Path. Since it's an apology, shouldn't this misunderstanding be clarified first?"

Origin Ancestor and the Sages' faces all became somewhat unsightly, but Origin Ancestor quickly smiled and said, "That's natural. We will clarify this matter for Heavenly Venerable Hao."

"How to clarify? Just a simple sentence? I suggest using the World Stones to project in the Heavens, projecting Heavenly Venerable Hao's words blocking you all at the Immortal Gate to the Heavens, and also projecting the fact that you all ignored Heavenly Venerable Hao's obstruction and brought the ancient demons to this realm, letting the people of the Heavens judge for themselves!"

Medicine Sage's eyes were gentle and beautiful, but the words she spoke were as sharp as knives.

Origin Ancestor and the Sages' faces all changed. Doing so was tantamount to cutting off their own incense offerings. If it was really like this, the Heavens would all know that Heavenly Venerable Hao tried his best to stop them, but they caused a great disaster.

At that time, Li Hao would probably get countless incense offerings of support.

Their countless believers would also defect, except for some core die-hard loyalists.

"Medicine Sage, don't go too far. Wanting to sell Li Hao a favor is fine, but don't force me to expose your ulterior motives. Do you want us to perish and board Heavenly Venerable Hao's big ship? When Heavenly Venerable Hao goes to the Immortal God Lands in the future, if this realm is cleared, you will be the supreme being of this realm. You are thinking too much!"

Origin Ancestor's cold words transmitted to Medicine Sage.

At the same time, Medicine Sage also received voice transmissions from other Sages, some scolding, some advising, and some helping her analyze the pros and cons, etc.

Medicine Sage and the Sages both maintained normal expressions, but the voice transmissions were already extremely intense.

Medicine Sage smiled, looked at Origin Ancestor, and transmitted back, "You are thinking too much. If Heavenly Venerable Hao goes to the Immortal God World, I will also follow him. Who cares about this Heavens Realm?"

Origin Ancestor sneered. He didn't believe her words. The Immortal God World had ancient demons, it wouldn't be that easy to stay there. Moreover, even if she really intended to do so, then this realm was also her fallback plan.

Sages' minds were far-sighted, their considerations deep, definitely not as simple as their expressed intentions.

"Don't go too far!"

Origin Ancestor warned in voice transmission.

Medicine Sage smiled. At this time, Li Hao spoke from the side:

"Medicine Sage's words make sense. I almost forgot about this matter. Everyone, does anyone object?"

Seeing Li Hao speak, Origin Ancestor and the Sages' faces were unsightly. They looked at each other and quickly communicated through voice transmission.

Things had come to this point, and they knew that if they angered Li Hao again, there would be no way out.

Compared to incense offerings, life was more important. They could only bow their heads.

"No problem."

Origin Ancestor gathered the Sages' opinions and finally agreed to Li Hao.

Hearing his words, everyone present suddenly understood. Ji Xuanshen and others then realized that the previous rumors and slanders were actually jointly created by the Sages. They hadn't expected Li Hao to actually withstand such great pressure.

The Li family members and Yu Emperor and others' faces changed. They had previously had a very good impression of the Sages, feeling that they were of supreme status, but could treat them kindly and amicably, without any Sage airs. Although they had something to ask for, they were also too humble.

They hadn't expected that they had actually jointly framed Li Hao. No wonder they would ask them to be lobbyists.

Before long, Sword Master also arrived. He saw the situation on the scene and laughed and said, "It's quite lively."

Origin Ancestor and others were somewhat displeased when they heard his sarcastic words, but Sword Master didn't say much more. He knew the grievances between the Sages and Li Hao in his heart, and also knew that Li Hao himself would handle it.

"Heavenly Venerable Hao, your sacred ground is big enough to accommodate at least billions of people. We coming here won't hinder you."

Origin Ancestor said to Li Hao.

Medicine Sage said, "The things you promised before haven't been done yet. Just promising doesn't count."

Origin Ancestor stared at her, took a deep breath, and immediately communicated with the Sages.

Then, he guaranteed that the truth would be made known to the Heavens tomorrow.

Li Hao didn't keep them either, sending them off as guests. Then he projected one of his avatars to arrange places for Ji Xuanshen and the others, while his main body flew into the void to continue building the sacred ground in a hurry.

The next day.

As World Stones were lit up one after another, the scenes in front of the Xuanpin Gate were projected throughout the Heavens.

Origin Ancestor and others chose to compromise, projecting the events of Li Hao blocking the Sages, and being ridiculed and insulted by the Sages.

Afterwards, the Sages entered the Xuanpin Gate, and before long, they attracted ancient demons.

As the projected image floated in various small worlds, the Heavens were in an uproar.

They hadn't expected that the previously rumored Immortal Path was actually so dangerous.

"I heard that Qinghuo Small World is full of corpses, and has already been slaughtered by that ancient demon."

"Ancient demons, could they be the ancestors of demons and monsters? That Immortal Path is actually so dangerous, no wonder Heavenly Venerable Hao tried so hard to stop them."

"Who spread the news before, actually slandering Heavenly Venerable Hao?"

"Do you even need to ask? It must be the believers of the Sages…"

With the projected image, the Heavens were in an uproar. Many disciples under the Sages felt a sense of Dao heart collapse. They hadn't expected that the Sages they regarded as gods would actually make such a stupid mistake, and be so ugly-faced in front of that Immortal Path!

This World Stone projection, projecting across the Heavens, was also seen by Li Hao on the Void Sacred Ground. Similarly, Ji Xuanshen and others and the Li family members here also saw it.

They then understood the grievances between the Sages and Li Hao. It turned out to be like this.

They also understood what kind of injustice Li Hao had suffered in the Heavens before. No wonder the Sages would now jointly plead and bow their heads.

"Brother Hao, they are too despicable."

Li Yuanzhao saw the projection and ran to Li Hao immediately, his chubby face full of anger.

Ren Qianqian and Yu Emperor also hurried over, both looking at Li Hao with heartache.

They knew that Li Hao's journey in the mortal realm had been extremely difficult. Everyone knew to see his glory, but only those who really cared about him saw the scars all over his body.

Li Hao felt somewhat uncomfortable seeing their expressions and laughed:

"It's all a small matter, a little rumor can't do anything to me."

"It is said that rumors stop at the wise, but if the person spreading rumors has too much authority, then falsehood can be turned into truth."

Yu Emperor sighed, feeling some hatred in his heart for the Sages.

Li Hao shook his head, not taking these things to heart.

At this time, he noticed countless incense offerings floating and gathering over.

It seemed that this projection had caused a huge impact in the Heavens.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Origin Sacred Ground, Origin Ancestor and the Sages all discovered that with the projection being broadcast, their source of incense offerings was rapidly decreasing, from the original mighty rivers, becoming weak streams, and now even threads, some only with faint glimmers of light left.

Without a source of incense offerings, their cultivation could not grow and would stagnate.

"Let's go, find Haotian. Now he should have nothing more to say."

A Sage said with gritted teeth, feeling heartache.

Although the other Sages felt uncomfortable in their hearts, they knew that the most important thing now was to get on Li Hao's ship.

Origin Ancestor didn't say much, and was about to lead the Sages to set off, when suddenly, above the Heavenly Origin Sacred Ground, a tear in space opened, and immediately afterwards, a bloody figure fell out from it.

It was a Sage, but covered in blood, the Emperor Weapon Daoist robe on his body shattered.

"Something, something happened!"

A trembling cry sounded. As soon as the Sage fell, he saw Origin Ancestor and the Sages, and hurriedly said, "Quick, quickly go save Divine King, a very terrifying guy has come among the ancient demons!"

The Sages were stunned. Someone recognized the identity of this Sage, a Three Calamities Sage. Now he looked so miserable, the injuries all over his body unable to heal.

"What, what happened?"

Origin Ancestor's heart skipped a beat, the blood flow throughout his body seemed to stagnate, his breathing becoming difficult: "Could it be, could it be that the Immortal Gate has been breached?"

(End of chapter)
