Chapter 505: Origin Divine Tree

"What?"

"You have Water Origin?"

"That's right, I'm going to the Five Origins City."

"I'm going to the Form Control Origin City."

In the mist, the short avatar shuttled through, seeking out the Heavenly Prides of various Immortal Dynasties to peddle Ninth-Order Origins.

Among them, Time and Space Origins had already been sought out by Li Hao's main body and sold to the royal families of various Immortal Dynasties.

The Time-Space Origins in his hand now only numbered two, the rest were other Ninth-Order Origins, which could only be sold in the Five Origins City and the Form Control Origin City.

Although not as timely as the Time-Space Origin City, for the Heavenly Prides of various dynasties who had been delayed here for a total of four or five months, they were already treasures to fall back on as a second choice.

Even if they were to find these origin great Daos themselves, they would impatiently use them to advance.

Now, Li Hao's avatar came to peddle and trade with them, which was a godsend for them. They were all willing to take out the Immortal Arts and Immortal Stones they had to exchange with Li Hao.

"What's going on? The figures on the Heavenly Dao Bridge seem to have suddenly decreased a lot."

"That's right, people have been leaving one after another. Just now I used Wind Eye Vision to see deep into the Heavenly Dao Bridge, there were guiding lights from the Origin Cities."

"Why are so many people suddenly leaving? Could it be that they can't bear their impatience and are choosing the Chaos Origin City?"

Among the four Origin Cities, the other great Daos all lead to the Chaos Origin City, which is also the most populated place. However, those who can come to the Origin Secret Realm for cultivation, unless they have no other choice, would not retreat to the Chaos Origin City.

It's just that Ninth-Order Origins are so precious. As soon as they appear, top Heavenly Prides will fight for them. Most people who come from the lower levels of the Origin Secret Realm can only choose the Chaos Origin City. Otherwise, wasting time here would be counterproductive.

If one could cultivate their own great Dao to a very high level within just seven years, it might not be a bad thing.

No matter how inferior the Chaos Origin City is, it is still an Origin City. Great Daos such as Sword Dao, Spear Dao, and Escape Dao, etc., can all be cultivated there.

As the figures on the Heavenly Dao Bridge continued to decrease, Li Hao also received many first-class sword techniques from various dynasties from his avatar, as well as many Immortal Stones, rare treasures, and rare Immortal Pills.

In the blink of an eye, months of fishing had yielded a batch of rich cultivation resources.

Unfortunately, Li Hao had already fished up all the Ninth-Order Origins on this Heavenly Dao Bridge. His comprehension of the mental state in fishing had reached a bottleneck, and he was still lacking a stimulus to break through.

If he continued to grind here, perhaps in another four or five years, Li Hao might be able to comprehend it, but he planned to go to the Origin City to take a look first.

"I'll also go to the Origin City and have a look."

Li Hao took out a Fire Dao Origin, as red as magma, struggling in his palm, emitting a strong aura of the great Dao.

If it were a warrior below the Saint realm, they would only need to stay by Li Hao's side for a moment to comprehend the true meaning of the Fire Dao from the Dao rhythm emitted by this Fire Dao Origin, thus advancing all the Fire Dao cultivation methods they practiced to a higher level.

If it were a Dao Comprehension realm cultivator, they could instantly comprehend Dao and touch the threshold of Dao.

At this time, as Li Hao activated the Fire Dao Origin, a Dao power descended from the sky above the Heavenly Dao Bridge, connecting to the Fire Dao Origin in Li Hao's hand.

Soon, Li Hao was also enveloped by that power.

Whoosh!

Li Hao did not resist, his body flew straight up along the pulling force.

The clouds and mist in front of his eyes swirled, and when they gradually dispersed again, a majestic city, entirely crimson red, was revealed before him.

This city stood in the starry sky, ancient and majestic. At this moment, Li Hao's perspective was in the starry sky, as if descending from the heavens, drawing an arc to land. He could just see the entire view of the city, but as he approached, the city quickly expanded infinitely before his eyes. Inside, there were five rays of light soaring into the sky, leading to the depths of the unseen Origin World.

The five rays of light were golden, emerald green, water blue, crimson, and black-brown.

When he got closer, he could see that they were five giant trees of dazzling flowing light.

The leaves on them seemed to be woven together, exquisitely beautiful, exuding a Dao rhythm aura, with a kind of refreshing fragrance.

When the power around his body dissipated, Li Hao stood in the city. He immediately felt a wonderful sensation, almost like sudden enlightenment.

The Dao rhythm in this city was rich, consisting of the Dao rhythm of the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. But these five Daos could constitute the three thousand great Daos. For example, Fire Dao also included Flame Dao, Lava Burst Dao, etc.

Li Hao had a strange feeling. He looked up, and the closest to him at this time was a faint blue halo, which was the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

The leaves on it trembled like butterfly wings, carrying strange Water Dao fluctuations. The纹理 (wénlǐ -纹理 – lines, veins, grain) on the tree trunk also seemed to be telling the true meaning of the Water Dao Origin, completely different from the纹理 of the crimson Fire Dao Origin Divine Tree.

"Cultivating here, sudden enlightenment might be as commonplace as eating a regular meal."

Li Hao thought to himself.

With such a rich Dao rhythm atmosphere, even those with ordinary aptitudes could hope to cultivate their Dao realm origin to the first level here.

Li Hao did not start cultivating immediately but instead walked around the city to observe.

This Origin City was extremely vast but very empty. There were no buildings in the city, only a boundless square. Occasionally, he could see things as tall as altars, but he didn't know what they were for.

Here, Li Hao saw some of the figures to whom he had peddled Ninth-Order Origins, sitting under the Origin Divine Trees to comprehend.

Under this azure blue Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, Li Hao saw a familiar figure. Dressed in white snow-like clothes, she sat on a tree root that protruded from the ground, closest to the Origin Divine Tree. It was Boya Xuejian, who had arrived earlier.

At this time, Boya Xuejian's eyes were tightly closed, and streams of flowing water were swirling around her body. The flowing water sometimes transformed into ice, sharp and piercing, and sometimes softened into flowing water, containing sword intent within.

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly. The other party seemed to be combining Sword Dao and Water Dao.

Although he hadn't carefully sensed it, Li Hao felt a sense of awe in his heart. The other party was attempting an extremely powerful cultivation method.

Heavenly Prides of the True World, leaders of Immortal Dynasties, should not be underestimated.

Li Hao's expression also became a little more solemn. He then glanced at the others. To his surprise, there were more than ten people here, of whom only four or five were those he had peddled great Dao origins to earlier.

The other half were unfamiliar faces, with extremely terrifying auras, restrained and profound, all in the Immortal Lord realm.

While Li Hao was sizing them up, one of them, seemingly having a shallower comprehension, became aware and suddenly opened his eyes, looking towards Li Hao, icy light shooting from his eyes.

His gaze was like two ice arrows, shooting at Li Hao, freezing time and space as if to solidify them.

Li Hao met his gaze, then turned his eyes away. He was secretly awed in his heart. The other party's cultivation was at least above the fifth level of the Immortal Lord realm, giving him an extremely strong sense of pressure.

"There are still people here, not Heavenly Prides participating in the Southern Domain War. They are likely people who have made great contributions to various Immortal Dynasties to come here, or powerful individuals cultivated within the Immortal Dynasties…"

Li Hao pondered in his heart. After scanning around, he left this place.

And that person, seeing Li Hao walk away, frowned slightly. A True Immortal Realm ninth-level little guy, how did he sneak in?

However, thinking about the recent Southern Domain War, and that many Heavenly Prides would come here, he guessed the reason for the other party's arrival in his heart. Soon, he closed his eyes again and continued to comprehend.

Li Hao walked in the Origin City. The five Origin Divine Trees stood in the four directions of the Origin City respectively. The Metal Dao Origin Divine Tree stood in the center, but its volume was relatively the smallest, and its light was not as bright as the other four.

When Li Hao came to the Fire Dao Origin Divine Tree, he saw the figure of Chiying Zi, also sitting on the tree root to cultivate.

"Everyone is so hardworking."

After looking around, everywhere was quiet, no one was talking, everyone was diligently comprehending and cultivating.

Li Hao sighed in admiration and came to the edge of the city, wanting to go outside the city to have a look.

There was no one on duty in this city, everywhere was empty.

Li Hao soared into the air and walked on top of the city wall, seeing lush trees outside the city, a vast forest.

But those trees were not ordinary trees. They seemed to be the embodiment of rich Dao rhythm, both real and illusory.

Li Hao was like an observer, looking around, amazed at the beautiful scenery between the heavens and the earth outside the Origin City. In the void, crimson flames occasionally swept past like firebirds, and the azure blue Water Dao Origin aura condensed into deep-sea whales, swimming leisurely past. He could even seem to hear the whale song from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds in his ears.

"Such a magnificent city, this is the work of an Immortal Emperor…"

Li Hao stood on the city wall, murmuring to himself.

At this moment, like sunlight reflecting, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

He turned his head to look. It was the lush emerald green forest outside the city. There, a golden light occasionally shone.

Li Hao was a little surprised and chased after the golden light.

When he got closer, he saw that it was actually a tree entirely golden in color, its appearance actually somewhat similar to the Metal Dao Origin Divine Tree in the city.

But its volume was much smaller, and it did not emit any Dao rhythm aura.

Li Hao looked around and saw a thatched hut next to this golden tree. Beside the hut was a small stream, and a figure was sitting there fishing.

"Young man, why aren't you in the city comprehending? What are you doing in this remote place?"

As Li Hao approached, a voice, old and indifferent, came from the figure.

"Your fishing method is wrong."

Li Hao glanced at the fishing rod he was holding and couldn't help but say.

"Hmm?"

The figure was obviously a little surprised. Such an answer was beyond his expectation, but he didn't care. He just said indifferently, "It's just for leisure."

With that said, he directly lifted the rod and turned to look at Li Hao.

This was an old and peaceful face, but his eyebrows were golden, drooping down on both sides of his cheeks, looking somewhat kind and benevolent.

Li Hao glanced at the small stream and couldn't help but sigh regretfully in his heart. Just a little more perseverance and it would have been hooked.

"You also understand fishing?" The old man looked at Li Hao, interested. Those who came here were all seizing the time to comprehend in the Origin City. Who would waste time exploring everywhere? Even if there were, they would just quickly glance around and rush back to the city, unlike the young man in front of him, standing there in a daze.

"Yes."

Li Hao nodded. Looking at the other party's fishing technique just now, it was obviously very unskilled, only about level six or seven at most.

He secretly shook his head and didn't have the idea of discussing fishing with the other party. After all, the gap was too big. If they really talked about it, it would only be considered teaching, which would inevitably be a bit showy.

Fishing itself was about fun. If you learned it seriously, you would lose that fun. Sometimes you want to teach, but you also have to see if others are willing to learn.

"Senior, I see that there is no one in this city. You shouldn't be here to comprehend and cultivate, right? You wouldn't happen to be the city lord here?"

Li Hao bowed slightly and asked curiously.

"City lord?"

The old man laughed aloud when he heard this and said, "How could there be a city lord in Origin City? This was built by the Five Absolutes Immortal Emperor. He once left his disciples here to guard it, but in the Imperial Fall Battle ten thousand years ago, there were not enough people, and they were all transferred away. Since then, Origin City has only been an empty city."

Li Hao's eyes flickered, once again feeling the impact and changes of the battle ten thousand years ago on the present.

Ten thousand years was a long time, but it seemed not too far from now. The heavy injuries and glory of the past could still be seen in the present.

"Then senior is…?"

"Just a leisurely person here."

The old man said indifferently, seeming unwilling to reveal too much about himself. He glanced at Li Hao and said, "Why aren't you comprehending in the city? What are you doing here?"

"Comprehending and cultivating is not urgent, not lacking this moment." Li Hao said.

"You are a slow-paced person."

The old man raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Li Hao, and said, "In your movement technique just now, there was a trace of Space Dao Origin. Why didn't you go to the Time-Space Origin City, but ran here?"

Li Hao was a little surprised. He hadn't expected that even the subtle Space Dao Origin borrowing in his movement technique would be noticed by the other party.

"Senior, what about you? Aren't you going to comprehend?"

"Me? Comprehend?"

The old man couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Hao's words, but said, "Like you, I am not in a rush for this moment."

Li Hao was a little speechless, but his gaze swept to the side. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the base of this golden tree, and his eyes lit up.

"Excellent natural carving material!"

Li Hao's eyes gleamed, the base of this golden tree had incredibly complex Dao patterns. If it could be used for carving, it was unimaginable how top-grade it would be.

Such carving material was comparable to earthworms in the eyes of anglers, and white silk stockings in the eyes of otaku.

He walked closer, came to the golden tree, and stroked a protruding tree root, feeling an irresistible fondness.

"Hmm."

The old man noticed Li Hao's actions, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't speak.

"Senior, did you plant this tree?"

Li Hao turned his head and asked.

The old man nodded, "Why?"

"This… can I take a section of its root? I can use Immortal power to nourish it and help it recover." Li Hao quickly said.

The old man's eyes flickered, and he said plainly, "It's just a tree. What use do you have for cutting off its root?"

"Junior is slightly proficient in carving and wants to borrow it for use." Li Hao said.

The old man's expression changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. He said, "It's a small matter, take a section."

"Thank you, senior!"

Li Hao was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

Then, he took out Taowu and cut off a section of the golden tree's root.

"This seems to be the scent of the Origin Divine Tree!"

Taowu's weapon spirit exclaimed in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao was surprised and said, "Are you mistaken? Origin Divine Tree?"

"It also doesn't seem like it. Maybe I'm mistaken." Taowu's weapon spirit was also a little uncertain, and muttered to itself, "If it were the Origin Divine Tree, it should have great Dao origin emanating from it, but this tree doesn't. Strange."

At this time, Li Hao was already holding the severed tree root, coming to the thatched hut. He found a place, sat down on the ground.

Then, he put his fingers together, condensed sword Qi, and examined this section of tree root, feeling it was perfect.

The old man quietly watched the young man's actions, his eyes revealing a trace of light, not knowing what he was thinking.

Just as Li Hao was about to start, suddenly, a soaring light vibrated in the city. The five Origin Divine Trees connecting to the soaring light suddenly brightened, and a vast Dao rhythm and spiritual energy surged out.

Li Hao couldn't help but look over, a little surprised.

"What is that?"

"The spiritual burst of the Origin Divine Trees."

The old man glanced over and said calmly, "Once a year, nothing strange, during this spiritual burst, if your Dao realm comprehension is deep enough, you can gain the recognition of the Origin Divine Tree and cultivate on the divine tree."

"Cultivate on the divine tree?"

Li Hao was stunned, and then he thought of it. He had seen people cultivating on the tree roots of the five Origin Divine Trees earlier, and some were cultivating outside the trees.

The Dao rhythm of the Origin Divine Trees was rich… right, why was no one cultivating on the trees? Li Hao suddenly woke up.

"If you want to go, you can also take this opportunity to show your Dao realm comprehension in front of the Origin Divine Tree. Perhaps you may have a chance to gain the divine tree's recognition and cultivate on the tree trunk."

The old man said indifferently.

"How many levels of realm do you need to reach to have this opportunity?"

Li Hao thought of Boya Xuejian only sitting on the tree root and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Above the third level to have a chance, and it also depends on the performance of other people in the same period."

The old man said.
