Chapter 498: Heavenly Dao Bridge

Heavenly Dao Bridge.

This is a bridge to the heavens within the Origin Secret Realm, capable of connecting to the Origin City.

And the Heavenly Dao Bridge is located outside the Chaos Reception City, tens of thousands of miles away from the city. Here, influenced by the domain field of the Great Dao itself, the range of divine sense is greatly compressed. Even with Li Hao's divine sense, he can only perceive about a hundred miles around his body.

However, in the True World, he could easily cover tens of thousands of miles with his divine sense.

At this moment, Li Hao, along with Chu Tianhuang and Boya Xuejian, were traveling together towards that Heavenly Dao Bridge.

On the way, Chu Tianhuang was observing Li Hao, but he didn't directly invite him to join. After all, they had just met and weren't familiar. Directly asking such a top-tier talent to submit and follow him would inevitably seem like wishful thinking.

Therefore, he planned to find an opportunity to display his royal charm and dominance, letting the other man know that he was a strong person worth following.

"I have long heard that Brother Boya's comprehension of the Water Dao Origin is extremely profound. May I ask what level you have reached?"

While traveling, Chu Tianhuang inquired with a smile.

Boya Xuejian's expression was calm as he replied, "It's nothing profound. I'm still far from truly entering the hall and grasping its essence. I've only just touched upon the surface."

"If you are only at the surface, then we are afraid we haven't even touched the surface."

Chu Tianhuang chuckled. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to reveal it, he didn't probe further. After all, such a question was somewhat presumptuous.

If it weren't for the fact that a few of his royal brothers had invited Boya Xuejian before and been refused, and he knew Boya Xuejian's ambition wasn't within Yan Chu, he wouldn't have been so presumptuous.

"Let's first go to the Heavenly Dao Bridge and take a look. If I can pass, I will have to go back and pick up a few younger brothers and sisters."

Chu Tianhuang looked up at the front and said calmly as he continued on his way.

Li Hao asked, "You can pick them up?"

Chu Tianhuang turned to look at Li Hao and chuckled, "Of course I can. This is the ninth level of the Origin World, the deepest level. They are all in other levels. To come here, they need to master the corresponding Great Dao Origin. If I can capture a wisp of the Great Dao Origin in the sky and send it to them, I can bring them here as well."

"Although the Nine-Petal Immortal Seal is top-tier, it is not necessarily the ultimate."

Seeing Li Hao's surprised expression, Chu Tianhuang continued, "Have you ever heard of someone with a Six-Petal Immortal Seal defeating a Nine-Petal Immortal Seal of the same realm?"

"No."

Li Hao shook his head.

Boya Xuejian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Are you saying that the other person's Six-Petal Immortal Seals were all Ninth Order?"

Chu Tianhuang looked at Boya Xuejian with approval and smiled, "Indeed. Nine-Petal Immortal Seals also have strengths and weaknesses. Legend has it that if one can refine Nine Orders into a Nine-Petal Immortal Seal, that is the ultimate, and it can even make the Immortal Seal transform and reach another legendary realm!"

Li Hao's eyes flashed. Nine Orders for Nine Petals. Of the Nine-Petal Immortal Seals he currently mastered, only Metal and Wood had not yet been refined into Immortal Seals.

If he could refine the Metal and Wood Daos this time, he wondered what kind of transformation his Nine-Petal Immortal Seal would undergo.

"I have also heard of this."

Boya Xuejian's expression was calm, but there seemed to be a strange and intense light in his eyes. "But I specialize in the Water Dao Origin and am not interested in other Daos. I failed to achieve Nine Orders for Nine Petals, and now that I've become an Immortal Lord, it's irreversible, and there's no way to do it anymore."

Chu Tianhuang sighed and said, "Who says otherwise? If I could cultivate in the True Immortal Realm for 30,000 years, perhaps there would be hope, but…"

The competitive pressure within the royal family was something only he understood. Staying in the True Immortal Realm for 30,000 years while accumulating a top-tier power—he couldn't imagine how many hardships and dangers he would encounter along the way.

"However, although I cannot challenge that legendary realm, I believe that specializing in one Dao and cultivating it to the extreme, may not necessarily be inferior to Nine Orders!"

The intense light in Boya Xuejian's eyes carried stubbornness and persistence. "Reaching the Water Dao Origin to its extreme, may not necessarily be worse than Space-Time."

Chu Tianhuang slightly raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, but remained noncommittal and silent.

Li Hao could understand Boya Xuejian's feelings. People always think that what they love is the best. If one can truly break through a certain limit, it would indeed have unbelievable effects.

Continuing on their way for a while, the Heavenly Dao Bridge soon appeared before them.

Approaching this place, Li Hao also sensed some figures with his divine sense. Some were in groups of two or three, some were alone, all of them possessed extraordinary auras. They were the kind of people who would stand out in a crowd of tens of thousands and catch your attention at a glance.

"This place is not far from the city, and fighting is prohibited near the Heavenly Dao Bridge."

Chu Tianhuang said.

He walked in front like an elder, leading Li Hao and Boya Xuejian closer.

The Heavenly Dao Bridge was majestic and imposing, its body a flowing silver, radiating endless radiance and ethereal energy. The bridge extended endlessly into the distance, with no end in sight. On both sides were deep, abyss-like gorges. When Li Hao's divine sense touched the edge of the bridge, he felt a sense of falling, as if even the power of divine sense would be swallowed and lost.

This discovery startled Li Hao, and he quickly retracted his divine sense back from the bridge edge.

Even divine sense would fall. If someone flew off the edge of the bridge, they would probably be affected by that strange power and fall.

"Be careful, the edge of the bridge is very dangerous."

Chu Tianhuang solemnly warned at this time, obviously also aware of the perilous nature of the Heavenly Dao Bridge.

At this moment, four figures along the way also arrived at this place one after another, stopping at the edge of the Heavenly Dao Bridge, gazing and observing.

One of the young men noticed the golden swallow flying dragon emblem on Chu Tianhuang's sleeve. His figure slightly shifted, and he approached, smiling and saying, "Royal family of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty?"

Chu Tianhuang turned his head to look, noticing the snake-shaped earring on the other person. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty?"

"Qi Tianshou, how may I address you?"

The other party introduced himself, looking at Chu Tianhuang with a smile.

"Chu Tianhuang."

"I didn't expect your nation's fortunes to be so greatly enhanced. This time there are actually so many Nine-Petal Immortal Seals. Impressive." Qi Tianshou said with a faint smile.

Chu Tianhuang swept his gaze over the other person. Behind him, a middle-aged figure slowly flew over. His expression was cold and stern, but his aura was extremely deep and profound. He was a powerhouse among Immortal Lords, but not one of the people guarding this place. It seemed he was another powerhouse who had obtained some kind of opportunity to come here.

"We will have a chance to interact at the Southern Domain Assembly."

Chu Tianhuang exchanged pleasantries.

"You are too kind. This is my command token. In the future, we may have a chance to cooperate."

Qi Tianshou smiled and handed Chu Tianhuang a token.

Chu Tianhuang's eyes flickered, but he still accepted it. As a member of the royal family, to continue to rise, in addition to his own cultivation, he also needed connections and power. And the other party obviously had the same idea.

"Brother Chu, which Origin City are you choosing to go to on this bridge?"

Seeing that the other party was happy to accept the token, Qi Tianshou's lips curved into a smile, and his expression became a bit more intimate as he asked.

Chu Tianhuang said indifferently, "Naturally, I'm going to take a look at the Space-Time Chaos City. Among the Ninth Order, who wouldn't want to experience the power of Space-Time!"

"Haha, then we'll meet again in the Space-Time Origin City."

Qi Tianshou laughed, waved goodbye, and returned to his original spot.

Li Hao and Boya Xuejian remained silent. The other party had only glanced at them from beginning to end, without engaging in conversation, but his gaze seemed to regard them as followers under Chu Tianhuang.

"Which city are you going to?"

Boya Xuejian turned to Li Hao and asked.

"Metal and Wood Daos, in the Five Dao Origin City, right?"

Li Hao asked, "If that's the case, then I will go to the Five Dao Origin City."

"You want to cultivate the Metal and Wood Daos?"

Seeing Li Hao's answer, Boya Xuejian revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes, then smiled and said, "Perfect, I'm also going to the Five Dao Origin City."

Chu Tianhuang looked at Li Hao in surprise, not expecting Li Hao to not choose Space-Time. From Li Hao's previous exchange with Chu Tianzheng, he could see that it contained the power of Space Origin, and his comprehension was not low.

"This is a rare opportunity, are you not going to further cultivate the Space Origin?"

Chu Tianhuang couldn't help but ask. He had hoped to befriend Li Hao and become familiar in the Space-Time Origin City, then take the opportunity to invite Li Hao to join him.

Li Hao shook his head and said, "I want to go to the Five Dao Origin City first and take a look. It should still be in time to choose Space-Time later, right?"

"You can choose again, but that will delay your time. After all, there are only seven years left."

Chu Tianhuang shook his head.

Seven years is not short for mortals, but for immortals and gods, it is just a blink of an eye.

A profound immortal technique, a single enlightenment and cultivation might take thousands of years.

"That won't be a problem."

Li Hao said.

At this time, as they talked, more people approached from the surroundings.

Chu Tianhuang glanced around and whispered to the two, "They are people from other immortal dynasties. It seems that more and more people are coming."

As he spoke, he walked forward and said, "Let's board the bridge first. To go to which Origin City, you need to capture the corresponding Great Dao Origin and be recognized by the Great Dao Origin. This Heavenly Dao Bridge is not so easy to cross."

Li Hao and Boya Xuejian followed behind him.

The Heavenly Dao Bridge led to a deep void. Around it, Great Dao Origins were like shooting stars streaking across the bridge, a beautiful and dazzling sight that made people yearn for it.

Just as they were about to board the bridge, suddenly a figure appeared as if teleporting, rushing in front of them and taking the lead in charging onto the Heavenly Dao Bridge.

"Let me give it a try!"

It was a burly figure, robust and strong, with thick black hair, exuding a primitive and savage aura.

His voice boomed and resonated. Even in a calm tone, it was extremely loud.

As his figure landed on the Heavenly Dao Bridge, suddenly, the beautiful Heavenly Dao Bridge seemed to transform from a gorgeous flower to blossoming scarlet venom!

Immediately, blades of lightning, swords of flame, dark hammers, and other materialized immortal technique attacks emerged, bombarding the burly figure.

These attacks contained the power of the Great Dao Origin, and their realms were not low. In an instant, the area around the burly man became like purgatory, engulfed in a terrifying storm of immortal techniques.

Chu Tianhuang's eyes narrowed as he said, "The Great Dao Origin power on this Heavenly Dao Bridge is countless. Just getting close will manifest power from the Origin Great Dao, transforming into various immortal techniques to attack. To pass this bridge is equivalent to withstanding the bombardment of all these Great Dao Origin powers!"

Li Hao and Boya Xuejian also saw the danger of this Heavenly Dao Bridge at this time.

The burly man burst forth with terrifying power, his hair standing up like raging flames, emitting an even more primitive and savage aura. His flesh and blood swelled up, his bones and muscles all multiplied in size, revealing his immortal body. A phantom image of an ancient ape-like dharma form appeared behind him, hands clasped together as if sitting in meditation, chanting sutras.

"Break for me!"

The burly man roared, throwing a punch. A sound of shockwaves reverberated in the void, and the numerous immortal technique attacks around him shattered instantly, a hole blasted through by an iron fist.

Li Hao himself also practiced fist techniques. He had already deduced Second Master's Half-Step Invincible Fist to an extremely profound level, far surpassing Second Master's original technique.

However, although the core essence of the fist technique was constantly improving, there was not much fundamental change. Half-step is still half-step, taking the full step would no longer be invincible.

But at this moment, the other person's fist technique was expansive and unrestrained, crazy and savage, seemingly a pure condensation of primitive power, containing a destructive dominance.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if, when his own Fist Dao reached the Eleventh Order, he could compete with the other person's Fist Dao.

At this time, the burly man continued to punch, taking step after step forward on the Heavenly Dao Bridge.

Around him, electric light and fire seas, crackling and popping sounds of explosions constantly boomed.

Even a hundred miles away, the loud noise and dazzling light could probably be heard and seen.

The figures outside the bridge gradually increased. People continued to arrive from afar. In the blink of an eye, apart from Li Hao and others, there were already more than a dozen figures standing here, all watching intently at the man who was trying to cross the bridge.

"Chaos Genesis, Primitive Invincibility!"

The burly man roared in a low voice, beast-like crimson light revealed in his eyes, his fist technique even more violent, carrying the power of the Destruction Dao and Space Origin.

He punched step by step, actually forcefully blasting a path for himself with a pair of iron fists.

Before long, he charged to a dozen miles into the bridge, where the bridge seemed to descend, as if to reach the other side.

"Space Origin, come to me!"

Standing on the bridge, the burly man had to both resist the surrounding killing moves and capture the Great Dao Origin in the sky.

However, these Great Dao Origins streaked past like shooting stars, in too large a quantity, and the Space Origin was extremely difficult to find among them.

The numerous Great Dao Origins were just one of ten thousand Daos, including Sword Dao, Spear Dao, Whip Dao, Scissor Dao, and so on.

It was extremely difficult to accurately find the Space Dao Origin among them.

The burly man stood in the middle of the bridge, roaring continuously, while resisting the surrounding immortal technique bombardment, while searching for the Space Origin. His aura gradually weakened. When it began to decline, the ancient ape dharma form behind him suddenly opened its eyes, and its clasped hands also clenched into fists.

Opening the palms, one could clasp them together towards Buddha.

Clenching into fists, one could suppress all directions with fists!

Boom!

As the ancient ape dharma form continuously attacked, resisting attacks for the burly man, the burly man also anxiously searched for the Space Dao Origin.

But his eyes were almost blurred, yet he still couldn't find it. The Space Dao Origin was extremely difficult to find.

Seeing this scene, Chu Tianhuang's expression was extremely calm, a faint smile curving up his lips as he said, "The Ninth Order Origins, how powerful are they. Mixed in with these lesser Daos, they are extremely hidden. It is very difficult to find them. Perhaps, at this time, they may not even appear."

Li Hao and Boya Xuejian's hearts both stirred. Obviously, the other party's understanding of this Origin Secret Realm was far greater than theirs.

"The most people want to enter the Space-Time Origin City, but the fewest people can actually enter."

Chu Tianhuang said to Li Hao, "Your choice to go to the Five Dao Origin City is also a rational choice."

Li Hao nodded.

Soon, the ancient ape dharma form behind the burly man could no longer hold on, but he searched one by one, still unable to find the Space Dao Origin.

"Where is it, where is it, where is it exactly?!"

The burly man roared angrily, his eyes wide open, enraged to the point of almost jumping up and down.

But what greeted him were only more immortal technique attacks. He soon couldn't resist anymore. If he were shaken off the bridge by these attacks, it would be extremely dangerous.

In the end, the burly man retreated in a sorry state.

"I'll go try."

Chu Tianhuang lifted his foot and stepped forward, confidence revealed in his eyes.

Li Hao thought to himself, this is using someone else's failure to make himself look good, as expected of a royal family member.

People with the same idea as Chu Tianhuang were not just one. There were also four other figures who were about to step onto the bridge, but Chu Tianhuang's reaction was extremely fast. He teleported and directly arrived on the bridge.

The other four reacted, but were unwilling to be outdone, and simultaneously boarded the Heavenly Dao Bridge.

"Can people go up together?"

Boya Xuejian asked in surprise.

Li Hao nodded, "It seems so."

"Then let's go too, don't waste time."

Saying that, Boya Xuejian also leaped up.

"…"

Li Hao was a little speechless, but thinking about it, it made sense. Since they could go up together, why watch the show below?

He also followed Boya Xuejian onto the bridge.

Chu Tianhuang saw the four people on the bridge, his face slightly darkened. When he saw Boya Xuejian and Li Hao, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, then he quickly understood their intentions, and couldn't help but say, "Are you here to find the Five Dao Origins?"

"Mm."

Boya Xuejian nodded, "I won't linger here."

As he spoke, his figure swayed, like a startled swan, darting towards the depths of the bridge.
