“Itu… apa?!”Pada saat itu, matahari yang menyilaukan, seperti cakrawala yang jauh, tampak telah jatuh di atas Gunung Suci Keluarga Ji.Ia berdiri tegak dan bersinar dengan kekuatan tak terbatas, diselimuti cahaya ilahi keemasan yang sangat terang.Di Domain Dao, Ji Xuan Shen telah mengerahkan seluruh kekuatan bumi, melesat ke angkasa, namun dalam sekejap mata, kekuatan suci yang terkumpul di sekujur tubuh pemuda itu membuatnya tampak seperti dewa sejati yang tengah turun!Pupil matanya mengerut, matanya terfokus, tetapi ia tak mampu menatap langsung ke arah pemuda itu. Tubuh lawannya diselimuti kekuatan ilahi yang cemerlang, tak kasat mata.Matanya menyipit, tetapi yang terjadi selanjutnya adalah amarah. Ia meraung ke langit,”Sekalipun itu dewa, aku akan menghancurkannya!”Ia mengangkat tangannya, dan sebuah Pedang Ilahi muncul dari ruangnya, jatuh ke telapak tangannya, menghasilkan momentum pedang yang tak terbatas. Ia mengumpulkan kekuatan Dao Domain-nya sendiri dan melancarkan serangan dahsyat ke arah langit!Dan di tengah cahaya ilahi yang cemerlang di udara itu, seluruh tubuh Li Hao terbakar api ilahi, darahnya mendidih. Dagingnya robek dan retak, tetapi tinjunya terkepal erat. Menghadapi cahaya pedang yang membumbung tinggi, ia melangkah maju setengah langkah.Bang!!Momentum yang dahsyat, kekuatan tinju yang tak terkalahkan, bagaikan murka dewa yang turun untuk menghancurkan seluruh Gunung Suci!!Cahaya pedang pamungkas dan niat tinju itu bertabrakan di angkasa tinggi, Dao Domain tertutup, dan hukum-hukum yang memecah terkikis dengan cepat, namun benturan itu hanya berlangsung sesaat.Kemudian datanglah cahaya ilahi yang luar biasa cemerlang, memancar ke segala arah. Mereka yang awalnya menatap dengan seluruh daya penglihatan mereka merasakan sengatan di mata mereka, seperti tertusuk jarum, dan tanpa sadar menutupnya rapat-rapat.Ketika mereka membuka mata lagi, mereka melihat cahaya pedang yang seolah membelah langit dan bumi itu pecah, sosok yang menjulang tinggi itu ditekan oleh kekuatan yang seganas binatang buas. Bagaikan pilar cahaya keemasan, ia menghantam langsung ke Panggung Dao, tenggelam dalam-dalam!Seluruh tempat Dao retak, berubah menjadi lubang besar, tetapi jangkauan dampak lubang itu diblokir oleh penghalang Ji Daoxin, tidak meluas ke luar tempat itu sama sekali.Tempat Dao lenyap, dan sebuah lubang dalam berbentuk kerucut muncul.Di udara, hanya sesosok yang bersimbah darah, bersinar dengan emas merah, berdiri tegak.Kulit dan dagingnya terkoyak, tulang-tulang putih di lengan dan tinjunya menonjol keluar, dan tulang rusuknya terekspos oleh darah dan daging yang meleleh, menyuguhkan pemandangan yang mengerikan.Namun postur tubuhnya tegak, bagaikan Dewa Perang muda yang berdiri di sana, rambutnya berkibar-kibar.Bahkan angin berisik antara langit dan bumi pun menjadi lembut di sisinya, tak berani bersuara.Seolah-olah menghibur luka parah pemuda itu, menyentuhnya dengan lembut dan menyembuhkannya.
This scene silenced the crowd spread over the mountainsides, leaving them speechless.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
That young man had shattered the legend, defeated all the geniuses of the Ji Family, and even suppressed the Dao Domain!
Ji Tian Chao and Ji Yunqing, among others, were dumbfounded, staring at the young man in mid-air. His injuries were extremely severe, almost on the brink of death, but undoubtedly, he had paid a great price and also defeated Ji Xuan Shen!
At that moment, they remembered Ji Yun Ge’s words and finally understood why, despite his deep-seated obsession before death, he still couldn’t forget to ask them to take good care of this young man.
Without ever having enjoyed any resources from the Ji Family, this young man had surpassed all the Family’s geniuses!
The many talents who had previously fallen to Li Hao were all stupefied.
The Ji Xuan Shen that hovered over their heads like a mountain, the unreachable strongest of all prodigies, had actually been defeated by this young man?
In this brief silence, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
Everyone was momentarily startled, and as they focused their eyes, they saw a roar emerging from the cone-shaped deep hole.
It was Ji Xuan Shen.
At this moment, his Treasure Garment was torn, the divine armor upon his body cracked, covered in blood, the neat hairdo now undone, disheveled, and in disarray.
But his eyes, like two golden stars amid the falling hair, emanated an arresting, resentful light.
“Is this your limit?”
It seemed Ji Xuan Shen was gritting his teeth, his voice cold. Since the year of the competition for the strongest genius, he had never suffered such severe wounds or been in such a sorry state.
Li Hao’s flesh was slowly healing as he retracted his power to turn into an immortal, unable to get distracted to speak.
Waves of tearing pain spread throughout his body as his gaze fixed on the opponent. The prodigy of the Tai Ping Tao of Peace Realm might be even more difficult to deal with than the Candle Flame God.
“Without me, you might really have had a chance to get the Dao Seed, but with me here, it’s a mountain you cannot overcome!”
From Ji Xuan Shen’s body, at the side of his chest and abdomen, a blinding radiance suddenly burst forth.
It was a dazzling silver light, as if penetrating heaven and earth, piercing through his body; his flesh and blood could not block the silver sacred radiance.
“But you don’t have the Holy Bone, I originally planned to just use the Dao Domain to suppress you. Forcing me to use the Holy Bone means your death is worthwhile!”
Ji Xuan Shen glared at Li Hao, his eyes radiating with anger. Even if he won this battle, he would have no glory, but if he lost, he might be heartbroken in the way of the Dao, which would be even more disgraceful.
“It’s the Holy Bone!”
“Ji Xuan Shen is going to use the power of the Holy Bone!”
“Exactly, this is Ji Xuan Shen’s true trump card!”
The crowd outside the arena, seeing the silver holy light radiating from Ji Xuan Shen’s body, revealed shock in their eyes. Pushing Ji Xuan Shen to this extent, the young man wouldn’t lose any face even if he lost!
Waves of power that transcended the material realm drifted from the heaven and earth, converging into Ji Xuan Shen’s body.
Ji Xuan Shen’s whole aura became mysterious and surging, his hair flying wildly, and his eyes were red gold and cold, staring fixedly at Li Hao:
“Without the Holy Bone, even if I gave you the Dao Seed, you would be replaced by someone in the future, suppress!”
With a single word from him, the Holy Bone within his body emitted an endless radiance, as if with the Power of Laws. The moment his voice fell, an indescribable power suddenly exerted itself upon Li Hao.
Li Hao’s pupils constricted, feeling as if he had been heavily struck on the crown of his head, as if someone were trying to press down on his skull, suppressing him into the ground.
He could not perceive the force, nor any technique, it was like a certain Dao, a certain law!
This… was nearing the power of a saint!
Li Hao’s wounds that were still healing burst open once again, and his body began to fall, but Li Hao fiercely clenched his teeth and stopped the descent.
The price for stopping was that all the wounds on his body tore open, and in an instant, he looked like a blood-drenched figure!
Li Hao slowly raised his head, looking up at Ji Xuan Shen high above, with those coldly condescending golden eyes.
“Do you still want to resist the power of a saint?”
The silver light at the side of Ji Xuan Shen’s abdomen was resplendent; it was from a bone, so brilliant that even his flesh couldn’t conceal the radiance of the Holy Bone!
It felt like ten thousand mountains bearing down on his spine and head; this power was stronger than the Dao Domain, but Li Hao knew that once he was suppressed, he would never be able to rise again!
His blood and flesh fumed, bursting forth with a sky-reaching might.
The power of becoming an immortal surged rapidly again, unleashing the might from before.
But this time, his body was not yet healed, reaching such an extreme condition, his flesh as tough as divine iron was now crumbling away like torn rotten flesh.
“Aaargh!!”
Li Hao let out a roar to the sky, with every hair bristling, his flesh completely burst open, revealing many spots of dazzling red-gold bones. Discover hidden stories at empire
But this all-out explosion did not displace the unspeakable vast force upon him.
“Useless, you are but a half-blood, without inheriting the Holy Bone of the Prime Ancestor of the Ji Family; below the saints, all are ants!” Ji Xuan Shen said with icy eyes.
“Just a Holy Bone trying to suppress me?!” Li Hao roared to the sky, “I don’t need to inherit a Holy Bone; one day, I will refine my own Holy Bone!”
The young man’s roar echoed throughout the entire mountaintop.Pada saat yang sama, manifestasi agung dan besar dari Hukum Langit dan Bumi muncul di belakang Li Hao.Manifestasi yang maha besar itu, seakan-akan mengeluarkan suara gemuruh yang sunyi, tiba-tiba menggerakkan Nadi Langit dan Bumi, memanfaatkan Kekuatan Langit dan Bumi di puncak gunung, lalu menyemburkan gelombang energi yang dahsyat.Li Hao dan manifestasinya bersatu, melayangkan pukulan ke arah Ji Xuan Shen di surga di atas!Saat tinju manifestasi itu jatuh, ia bagaikan meteorit sungguhan, bayangan besar yang seketika menghalangi keseluruhan Gunung Tian Dao.”Itu… Alam Kutub Ketiga, Manifestasi Hukum Langit dan Bumi!”Sosok yang menjulang tinggi dan bagaikan dewa itu, bagaikan bayangan, menampakkan kehadirannya di setiap wajah di Gunung Tian Dao saat itu.
Countless members of the Ji Family had their eyes wide with disbelief, unable to accept what they were witnessing.
The many elders of the Ji Family, however, turned pale with shock, for they recognized it as the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, the manifestation of the Third Extreme Realm!!
Even within the Ji Family, the Ancient Holy Clan, by relying on talent and longevity resources, one could barely manage to cultivate the previous two realms to their limits, but the Third Extreme Realm was a massive chasm!
Unless one was like the Prime Ancestor and inherited heaven and earth, capable of condensing the soul 360 times to reveal the might of the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!
And the exceptional geniuses of their clan were mostly inheritors of the Prime Ancestor’s holy soul, condensing the soul 270 times. No matter what Soul Condensing Cultivation Technique they practiced, it was impossible to break this limit, for that was the maximum number of condensings the holy soul could withstand!
Unless they started anew, inheriting the soul with heaven and earth!
But it was not easy to inherit the soul with heaven and earth; one needed top-notch mental disposition and talent, the presence of someone whose fame shook the ages, and it was necessary to cultivate to near the limit in both the Power Passage Realm and Zhou Tian Realm before there was a possibility of achieving it!
Although the ten great prodigies of the Ji Family all mastered the state of Divine Power, they only turned to hone their physical bodies after cultivating their realms to later stages, bringing the Power Passage Realm to the extreme.
If one sought to inherit the soul with heaven and earth while in the Soul Succession Realm, they would fall into an extremely long stagnation, needing to repeatedly refine the Power Passage and Zhou Tian Realms. Only by slowing down for several decades was there a slight possibility.
This was not untried; only, those who tried it mostly failed.
Even if the Power Passage and Zhou Tian Realms were both cultivated to extreme strength, to withstand the suppression of heaven and earth during the soul inheritance, without a will surpassing that of the Prime Ancestor and all beings, it would not be recognized by heaven and earth!
Therefore, this Third Extreme Realm was extremely difficult, exceedingly rare.
Harder to achieve than the Divine Travel Realm and Fifteen Li Realm!
Boom!
The clouds at the mountaintop exploded, howling as they dispersed!
At that moment, the fist swung by the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation aimed straight down at Ji Mysterious God, carrying anger and frenzy, as if it wanted to shatter the entire Tian Dao Mountain!
And Li Hao, who was near the ground about to be suppressed and flattened, also roared as he swung his Invincible Fist, its intent and power like a roaring lion, like a dragon soaring to the sky, bursting forth to meet the fist of the manifestation, two fists, one large, one small, trapping Ji Mysterious God in the middle.
Ji Mysterious God’s pupils constricted, shaking at the moment he saw Li Hao’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation.
Mastering two Extreme Realms, how could he not know how difficult it was to condense the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, recorded only in the legends left behind by the Prime Ancestor in the Ji Family, achieved over ten thousand years by only two geniuses with exceptional talent.
And now, the legend once again shone into reality, with that youth’s soul-inheriting manifestion of the will, opposing his innate Holy Bone!
“I am invincible!!”
Ji Mysterious God’s eyes flashed furiously as he bellowed, “You possess a soaring ambition, but I will crush your will, Dao Domain, tear it apart for me!!”

All the major veins in his body fractured and trembled, bursting with limit-breaking power, the Heaven and Earth Vein pumping frantically like a water pump, drawing in the power of heaven and earth from the surroundings. However, to his horror, he found that the power he could draw upon was extremely weak.
The power of heaven and earth nearby had all but vanished, or rather, had been monopolized by Li Hao!
Ji Mysterious God’s eyes wept blood as he roared like a madman, his long hair flying about, his own Heaven and Earth Vein breaking, unleashing boundless might, thrusting his Dao Domain forward!
In that moment, these two brilliantly dazzling prodigies unleashed the most extreme power of their lives, clashing violently.
The world seemed to lose all sound.
Following the brief silence came a buzzing in the ears, resonating out.
All people could see was a spectacle as resplendent as exploding stars, yet they could hear nothing.
Only when the countless energies released and impacted the Barrier, after a delay of two seconds, did a deafening roar, like a level ten earthquake rippling beneath their feet, burst forth!
Then there was the long-lasting echo of energy, constantly resonating and thundering against the Barrier.
And in the half-sky, that most dazzling, most outstanding prodigy of the current Ji Family, his Dao Domain shattered into silence under the impact of the two fists, like a broken-winged bird, crashing onto the Barrier, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood before plummeting directly, falling to the fringes of the dilapidated arena.
As Ji Mysterious God was defeated, the majesty of the Holy Bone also faded away, and the pressure from the hundred thousand mountains on Li Hao’s body seemingly disappeared all at once, lightening the pressure he felt.
But the disintegration of Li Hao’s body did not stop. He clenched his teeth, holding his breath, desperately trying to halt the inflow of the qi of heaven and earth.
Large pieces of flesh fell from his body, which seemed like a wall with a gap, the power continuously penetrating into his bones, threatening to split his body completely.
Li Hao howled to the sky, dispersing the power within the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, then had the manifestation embrace him to block the subsequent influx of the power of heaven and earth.
In the arena, only that youth’s manifestation held unto itself, roaring in a dire situation, struggling between life and death.
Eventually, that seemingly collapsing power of heaven and earth finally ceased to flow, blocked by the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation. Li Hao took this opportunity to fully heal his body, regenerating flesh and blood.
His regeneration was astoundingly rapid, plainly visible to the naked eye, as if undergoing nirvana in dire straits. Soon, as Li Hao’s body mostly healed, the power of heaven and earth also stabilized.
The youth’s entire body was like red gold, bathed in blood, yet he stood like a War God, slowly straightening his spine, an aura befitting a deity emanating from him. He stood within the arena, his face showing nothing but determination weathered by trials and tribulations.
Heaven above and earth below, at this moment all fall silent.
The countless members of the Ji Family surrounding Tian Dao Mountain, at this instant, all stare dumbfounded at the youth, unable to imagine, nor daring to believe that the youth truly fought to the last moment.
With a pair of iron fists, with a teenager’s body, he defeated all of the Ji Family’s geniuses, no one left to answer the challenge!
Ji Daoxin and Ji Tian Chao also reveal a look of shock in their eyes, their expressions solemnly fixated on the youth in the arena.
They see more clearly that the terrifying power unleashed by Li Hao is not some Cultivation Technique, but very likely, it is that legendary Sixth Extreme Realm!
Land Immortal Realm!
The difficulty of this realm even surpasses the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, not to mention other extreme realms!
Even for the Ji Family that has given birth to countless geniuses, no one has ever achieved it.
Even they haven’t!
The Semi-Saint lying in the ancient coffin only condensed the Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, but was unable to step into the Land Immortal Realm!
But this legendary realm, they have never seen with their own eyes, and they cannot confirm.
Inside the arena.
Li Hao gazes toward the edge of the arena, sees Ji Mysterious God slowly rising from the ground, his body full of cracks, his flesh torn open by a huge hole, which was pierced by Li Hao’s own Invincible Fist.
And the fist force unleashed by the Law Manifestation shattered his organs and broke most of his bones.
At this moment, Ji Mysterious God sits up from the ground, and upon seeing that Li Hao’s body has already mostly healed and his aura remains unflaggingly strong, reveals a hint of shock in his eyes, but then a look of dejection.
At this moment, he knows he has lost.
Relying on the Holy Bone was a victory without honor to begin with, let alone now that he has lost.
But most importantly, that youth is only in his teens, only in the Three Immortal Realms!
It’s akin to crossing an entire major realm to fight him, and being able to fight to this extent, he has completely lost!
Seeing that Ji Mysterious God has lost the will to fight, Li Hao lifts his gaze, and turns to sweep over the crowd outside the arena, slowly saying:
“Anyone else wishes to come forward?”
His voice is not loud, exuding calmness, but as it drifts across the outside of Tian Dao Mountain, it seems like an autumn breeze passing by the ears of numerous people, yet no one responds.
Those like Ji Qingshuang, who had yet to make a move, stand far outside the arena, staring blankly at the youth.
Initially, they had stood near the arena, but the explosive might between the two fighters was so strong, it scared them all back.
Is there anyone else willing to step into the arena?
No one.
Not to mention that even if they entered the arena, Li Hao could choose to continue the challenge at this time tomorrow. Even if Li Hao were to accept the challenge right away, seeing the youth’s momentum, they also felt that it would be difficult to defeat him.
The opponent seemed not to know what fatigue was; they saw no possibility of defeating him.
Too strong, utterly flawless!
Just that physique, honed to perfection, made them feel powerless.
Movement techniques, sneak attacks, forceful strikes, etc., were all meaningless in front of that physique. Even Ji Mysterious God’s Dao Domain didn’t gain much advantage, let alone them.
No one responds.
The many people of the Ji Family outside the arena are also not arguing; they are still caught in the shock brought about by that youth.
“If there are no challengers, Ji Le Ping will be recognized as the strongest genius of our Ji Family, becoming the Dao Seed!”
Ji Daoxin steps forward, first casting a glance at Li Hao before then loudly addressing the crowd.
His voice spreads throughout Tian Dao Mountain, also snapping the crowd out of their daze.
The youth has truly succeeded in the challenge, defeating all the geniuses of the Ji Family!
Previously, they held prejudices, mocked him for being mixed-blood, an outsider changing his surname to enter the Ji Family, but at this moment, those thoughts and notions were all cast aside, feeling foolish.
With the strength and talent demonstrated by that youth, he needs no family’s name. He is a top genius in his own right, not needing to bow down to anyone. With but a call from him, even the Ancient Holy Clans would vie to claim him.
Third Extreme Realm, defeating the Holy Bone, suppressing all the geniuses of the Ji Family!
Everyone knows, a new myth is about to be born in their Ji Family.
“What kind of monster has our third brother brought back to our Ji Family before his demise!”
“Is this the top peerless genius my third brother spoke of, the future of our Ji Family…”
“Without Holy Bones, yet defeating those with Holy Bones, without a Dao Domain, yet breaking through a Dao Domain, simply invincible!”
Ji Yunqing, Ji Yunyue, and the others were so excited that their bodies trembled slightly.
They had not expected that before their third brother left, he would actually present such a generous gift to the Ji Family!
The other people also returned to their senses, their expressions complex. Despite their previous prejudices, in the Great Wilderness Heaven where the strong are revered, at this moment, they were all awed by the young man.
Without the cultivation of the Ji Family, to achieve such a degree, it was incredible to imagine what level that young man would reach if he were cultivated as a Dao Seed, with the full resources of the family?
Perhaps just as he himself had said, he really could condense his own Holy Bones, to rival the Prime Ancestor!
Thinking of this, some of the elders who had previously stood with Ji Qingyuan also became secretly excited, but then they remembered the numerous obstacles they had placed before this young man in the Council Hall, and their hearts filled with waves of fear.
No one responded to Ji Daoxin’s words, and right away he announced that Li Hao had become a Dao Seed, and at the same time, he withdrew the Barrier.
“Child, are you alright? This is the divine medicine of our Ji Family.”
As soon as the Barrier dissipated, Ji Yunyue and the others quickly flew to Li Hao’s side, urgently saying with concerned expressions.
They saw that Li Hao was covered in blood, and it broke their hearts.
Though the young man had won and made a name for himself earlier, the fierceness of that battle made them feel terrified and distressed.
“It doesn’t matter, I can heal myself.”
Li Hao said softly.
He pushed away the divine medicine the old woman offered. He possessed the attribute of concealing one’s talents and biding one’s time; as long as he relaxed his body and combined it with his self-healing ability, the damaged parts of his body would soon heal.
“This child, why still act like a stranger with us?” Ji Yunyue said as she pushed the divine medicine into Li Hao’s hands.
Li Hao was somewhat helpless, but caught it and did not use it.
Seeing that Li Hao refused to use it, Ji Yunyue and the others exchanged glances, their expressions changing slightly, thinking of how Li Hao had been ridiculed by everyone in the Ji Family earlier, with countless voices telling him to roll out of the Ji Family. The child was probably harboring resentment.
“Child, you don’t have to mind others. In this Ji Family, as long as we old immortals are still here, no one can hurt you,” Ji Yunqing said to Li Hao.
But after speaking, thinking of the strength that Li Hao had just demonstrated, his face turned slightly red.
With Li Hao’s own strength, he could walk through the Great Wilderness Heaven without fear, untouched even by the Tao Realm, unless it was in some forbidden lands, or someone from the Tao Comprehension Realm made a move. At this point, he no longer needed anyone’s protection.
Li Hao said softly, “I came here just to bring back senior War God Yun Ge and to see my mother.”
Read exclusive adventures at empire
Hearing the young man’s words, the faces of several people changed slightly. Ji Yunqing quickly said, “Don’t you plan to stay in the Ji Family?”
Li Hao shook his head slightly, “I still have unfinished business, friends I haven’t seen. After helping my mother atone, I will leave.”
Their conversation wasn’t loud, but the crowd outside fell silent unconsciously when they spoke, so these words also reached the ears of everyone outside the arena.
That young man, he was actually about to leave the Ji Family!
Everyone was shocked, and then their expressions changed. Many people felt panic. Their Ji Family had produced such a peerless genius, but he was going to leave?
To become the Dao Seed of the Ji Family, surpassing all others, truly peerless and noble beyond measure, yet he said he didn’t wish to stay, wanting to leave.
For a moment, most of the people of the Ji Family found it hard to accept.
But Li Hao’s words were very clear; he only had two reasons for coming: to return War God Yunge and to see his mother.
One was for affection, and the other also for affection.
Both were very normal reasons.
Yet previously, they had all kinds of mockery and outbursts, telling him to roll out of the Ji Family, which probably had already turned that young man’s heart cold.
For a time, many of those who had earlier ridiculed and laughed at Li Hao felt a burning shame, a prickling sensation, and panic in their hearts.
They knew, this young man truly had the ability to leave the Ji Family.
Without relying on the Ji Family, he was still a peerless genius, a monstrous talent, why should he lower himself?
At the words of Li Hao, Ji Daoxin’s face also changed slightly, looking a bit unsightly.
He had already investigated the earlier discussions in the mountainside, but he thought that once Li Hao was brought into the Ji Family, the future abundant resources for cultivation would be enough to offset it.
After all, it was just verbal insults, what peerless genius hadn’t experienced ridicule?
But now it seemed, the young man had never intended to join the Ji Family from the start, not to mention having gone through all this.
“`
“Child, now that you’ve become a Dao Seed, our Ji Family will devote all our resources to cultivate you, many of which are treasures you’ve never seen before.”
Ji Daoxin floated to Li Hao’s side and said softly and gently, “There’s also the Saint’s Echo left by our Prime Ancestor, which will help you refine your Dao heart and allow you to easily step into the Four Stands Realm.”
“The numerous Unparalleled Techniques of our Ji Family are all available for your insight, helping you to gather the essence of martial prowess and carve out your own peerless technique.”
“Moreover, the Grand Tao of Peace Realm can also aid you…”
The foundation of the Ancient Holy Clan is extremely strong, providing auxiliary effects for each level of the Four Stands Realm.
Other clans, at most, rely on countless divine medicines and demon blood to elevate their offspring to the Fifteen Li Realm, and even that is their limit.
The Heavenly Human Realm must be breached on one’s own, and the Three Immortal Realms also require one’s personal insight; not to mention the Four Stands Realm, where the Dao heart is a barrier hard to overcome.
Hearing Ji Daoxin’s words, everyone turned their gaze toward Li Hao, their eyes shining with admiration.
Indeed, given these precious and top-tier resources of the Ji Family, any prodigy would be green with envy.
As long as one has sufficient understanding and is not lacking in talent, with the Ji Family’s full support, most can step into the Grand Tao of Peace Realm!
And stepping into the Tao Realm means that even in the Great Wilderness Heaven, one is a first-class powerhouse, almost invincible unless the War Gods of the saint clans make a move, and very unlikely to fall!
Future stability and the chance to become a War God are both very likely.
After all, the goal for a Dao Seed is to become the new War God!
As for reaching the Saint Realm, it’s purely a matter of chance.
“Thank you, elder.”
Li Hao bowed his head slightly, thanking this patriarch of the Ji Family, then he said, “I only wish to redeem my mother’s sins; these things can be left for other prodigies.”
Ji Daoxin was taken aback, and so was everyone else outside the venue, their gazes fixed on the young man with disbelief.
The patriarch had made it so clear, and yet this young man still wanted to refuse?
This was an opportunity countless people dreamed of, and even the prodigies of the Ji Family struggled desperately for it.
Stay tuned to empire
Now that opportunity was in the young man’s hands, and he chose to let it go?
Ji Mysterious God sat at the edge of the Dao field, staring blankly at the young man. The latter had fought desperately, on the brink of life and death, simply because he wanted to redeem his mother’s sins?
He was oblivious to the countless precious cultivation resources of his own Ji Family?
The other prodigies were also astonished, never expecting the young man to be so resolute.
Especially those who had previously mocked the young man for shamelessly trying to become part of the Ji Family, they were now struck dumb and speechless.
Willing even to give up the position of supreme Dao Seed that was already in his grasp, it goes without saying what he thought about joining the Ji Family.
“Is it because of their previous words? You are still young, don’t act impulsively,” said Ji Yunqing hastily, hoping to persuade Li Hao to stay as well.
Hearing these words, many felt a thud in their hearts, becoming anxious and worried that their clan would question them for this.
But Li Hao shook his head and said, “I’m not acting out of spite. Yun Ge once told me that if I could become the strongest prodigy of the Ji Family, I could redeem my mother’s sins. That’s why I came here.”
Hearing the young man’s calm words, everyone understood that this young man had never planned to remain with the Ji Family.
He was only fighting bloodily to this point simply because he wanted to redeem his mother’s sins, battling all the prodigies.
With a complex look in his eyes and a bitter feeling in his heart, Ji Mysterious God soon experienced an indescribable feeling. His eyes shone with a sharp light as he deeply contemplated the young man.
He seemed to understand what truly great pride looked like.
The young man simply didn’t care about any resources; as he said, if there were no Holy Bone, then he would refine one himself!
Compared to him, these prodigies of the Ji Family were nothing more than geniuses with shallow pride.
Ji Daoxin realized he might not be able to retain this young man, but more importantly, in this young man he truly saw the spirit of the few exceptional prodigies the Ji Family had produced over the millennia.
True disdain for everything, and an indomitable spirit, never yielding!
If only such a person were born in the Ji Family, how wonderful that would have been…
Ji Daoxin inwardly sighed, glanced at Ji Tian Chao and others, gave them a look, and telepathically said:
“It seems we can only wait for Qingqing to return and let her persuade him. When the time comes, you all must help Qingqing, urge her to keep her son.”
“Her son has risked life and limb to come here, which means he must have deep feelings for her, and he should listen to her.”
Hearing Ji Daoxin’s choice of persuasion, Ji Yun Yue and the others understood, and they thought the same.
If they couldn’t persuade him, then let Qingqing try.
Such a fine grandson, they did not want to simply watch him leave.
“Also, I will immediately send people to the Great Wilderness to the Dayu Divine Dynasty to investigate his background, to clear up his past. Considering his current status, let’s forgive Qingqing for the other responsibilities she may have incurred by marrying outside,” said Ji Daoxin.
He believed that making such a decision now, the other elders in the family, those of an older generation, would probably not object.
Although the Ji Family had its internal struggle for dominance between legitimate and collateral lines, and covert conflicts among different branches, at least they had one good trait: when facing an external enemy, they would unite, and they treated prodigies equally!
Compared to some clans that had completely decayed, the laws and regulations of the Ji Family were still relatively well-preserved.
Ji Yun Yue and the others nodded slightly. Recalling the matter of Li Hao changing his surname, they suddenly grew curious about this young man who came alone to the Great Wilderness Heaven: where was his father, and what about the elders of his father’s family?
“`
Could it be that Qingqing married someone incompetent, unable to enter the Great Wilderness Heaven?
After several people finished their telepathic conversation, Ji Tian Chao looked towards Li Hao and suddenly asked, “How many Extreme Realms have you unlocked?”
At this remark, everyone was startled and looked at Ji Tian Chao with puzzlement, but they soon realized something and turned their gazes towards the young man.
If it had not been for Ji, who had used the Holy Bone, they might still not have been able to see the young man’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation; the young man had been hiding his true ability until the last moment, and they suspected that he might have other hidden cards up his sleeve.
Although such a probability was extremely low, somewhat exaggerated…
Li Hao looked at this elder who had stepped forward to defend him, slightly surprised. Such a question was a bit impertinent, after all, it concerned martial arts matters, which were secret.
But seeing the expectant look in the other’s eyes, it seemed not just an inquiry. After thinking for a moment, he conveyed through telepathy, “Four.”
Although Ji Tian Chao had his suspicions, his heart still shook when he knew Li Hao was not lying.
He had already discerned that Li Hao might possess not just the three types shown, but also a fourth, which was the Land Immortal Realm!
Others, seeing Li Hao remain silent but noticing Ji Tian Chao’s suddenly excited eyes, immediately realized that the two had communicated telepathically.
Ji Tian Chao took a deep breath and smiled at Li Hao, “Don’t worry, in the Ji Family, no one can harm you unless they step over my dead body!”
He stated this with a firm and decisive tone.
Mere consideration for returning his brother safely would already bind him to protect this grandson-at-law to the fullest, not to mention that Li Hao had now shown peerless talent.
The others quickly telepathically asked Ji Tian Chao, but he did not respond and only said to Li Hao, “Our Ji Family has an Extreme Tao Stele, go and try it. It’s said that if one can ignite four Extreme Tao Steles, they will receive a Sage’s inheritance!”
Ji Yun Yue and others felt a shock in their hearts, now knowing the answer.
Standing outside the training ground, Ji Qingyuan’s face also showed a slight change as he fixed his gaze on the young man.
“A Sage’s inheritance?”
Li Hao questioned with curiosity.
Ji Tian Chao nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of excitement, “Yes, child, you must try, it’s a tremendous opportunity!”
Seeing him so earnest and serious, Li Hao thought for a moment and asked, “Will it affect my leaving the Ji Family?”
“…”
Ji Tian Chao faltered for a moment. Was this child so determined to leave the Ji Family?
He recalled his third brother’s words, that crossing the Mo River was possible because of unburdened freedom.
He sighed inwardly, fortunately, the Mo River existed because of his brother’s obsession, and similar obstacles should no longer exist in the future, leaving a concern for the young man would not affect anything.
Besides, once Qingqing returns, maybe the child would change his mind.
Ji Tian Chao said, “It basically won’t affect it.”
“That’s right, just go and try first,” Ji Daoxin also immediately persuaded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Seeing them say so, Li Hao thought for a moment and then agreed.
The conversation among them spread, and everyone heard that the young man was going to test the Extreme Tao Stele for his martial arts Extreme Realm; they were all somewhat surprised.
Ji Daoxin did not dawdle and immediately led Li Hao away; the Extreme Tao Stele was not far from Tian Dao Mountain, located on a steep slope resembling a halved bridge, with eight antique, pitch-black stone steles standing tall.
“This is the Extreme Tao Stele. You just need to exert your ultimate state in each realm and then strike the stele; the Taoist charm on it will capture and detect it,” Ji Daoxin said gently to Li Hao.
Li Hao glanced at it and nodded.
“From low to high, in ascending order, are the Eight Realms, extending all the way to the Four Stands Realm!” Ji Daoxin explained.
Li Hao felt a stir in his heart. The Four Stands Realm also has an extreme state?
Wondering what that might be like, he regretted that he had not yet entered the Four Stands Realm.
Although the Merit Treasure Vault offered Tao Hearts for exchange, Li Hao found out after visiting that the Tao Hearts were incredibly expensive, and also, they only had a distinction between Profound and Yellow Levels.
The Yellow Level Tao Heart cost twenty thousand merits, and the Profound Level fifty thousand merits.
Indeed, from the introduction to the Tao Hearts in the Merit Treasure Vault, Li Hao learned that Tao Hearts also vary. It’s just that becoming a practitioner of the Four Stands Realm was already extremely rare in Dayu Divine Dynasty, so there was no comparison of quality, only strength was used to assess superiority.
A Tao Heart is like a soul manifestation; the vast majority of Tao Hearts are of the Yellow Level, and few are of the Profound Level. Pursuing eternal life or leaving a name through the ages are considered goals of a far-reaching Tao Heart, and after solidification, they are among the strongest in the Tao Heart Realm.
More common Tao Hearts might include extending the lineage of a family or upholding kindness and propriety.
The variety of Tao Hearts in the library is not too plentiful, Li Hao didn’t find one that suited him, so he chose not to exchange.
After all, once exchanged, his own state of mind might change as well, and Li Hao could not be sure whether he would still be himself after being altered by external forces.
Therefore, he decided it was better to rely on himself to solidify it.
Although the Merit Treasure Vault contained many items, Li Hao discovered upon browsing that the really top-notch items were few.
For example, the Extreme Realm Cultivation and Divine Strength Realm could be exchanged, as could the Heaven and Earth Vein, but they required even more merits.
But no exchange was offered for the Land Immortal Realm.
Neither for the Three Immortal Extreme Realms.
Therefore, relying on this Merit Treasure Vault could improve one into a distinguished talent, but it was difficult to become a leading one, as it seemed that everything that needed to be comprehended by oneself was scarce.
In other words, the Merit Treasure Vault was like a series of concentrated super resources.
Li Hao brought his thoughts back and approached the Extreme Tao Stele.
The crowd outside Tian Dao Mountain, having heard Li Hao was going to test the Extreme Tao Stele, also chased after to watch, including Ji and many other talented individuals.
They had already perceived that Li Hao had mastered three Extreme Realms, and now it was just a matter of the Extreme Tao Stele re-confirming it once again.
