Li Hao is a streame...
Chapter 127
Inside the alchemy room, the head of Danfeng Peak looked at the man before him. Although he was dressed in strange attire, the aura lingering around him indicated that he was also a cultivator. However, there was something strange about him: he couldn't sense his realm.
But he could sense that his strength was quite impressive. Li Hao released the force that was suppressing Qi Yuanqing, trying to keep his opponent's sleeping area within the room.
"...His situation is indeed a bit tricky. His current state is a bit like his soul disappearing. If you can use the soul-calling technique at this time, it is best to wait until he wakes up, because this is also the critical moment for his promotion. If possible, it is best to wait until he is promoted before taking any action." The idea of the Danfeng Peak Master is actually the same as Li Haokan's situation.
He had brought Qi Yuanqing here simply to try and see if there was any hope in the world of cultivation. After confirming that there was no hope, Li Hao left Danfeng.
As Liu Ruxin watched Li Hao leave, her face was filled with melancholy. It seemed her plan was going to fail.
...
Li Hao also brought a group of people here, about twenty people, all of whom were already masters of the second-level mages. They were the most important members of the escort team on the entire spacecraft. They were all soldiers who were the first to come into contact with magic.
She had already said hello to the sect leader and was going through the back door to use the sect's magic tools to see if they could awaken the stars. She had already released those people from the crystal ball.
Twenty-three people were already standing on the stage where Li Hao had stood before. This time, they were just revisiting old memories.
However, this time the sensational scene that Li Hao experienced was not repeated.
"I still remember the scene when you first entered the sect..." The headmaster seemed to be reminiscing about the past. For cultivators, most of their time is spent in cultivation. However, for Li Hao, the changes he had experienced in the past few years were no less than earth-shaking.
He knew Li Hao came with a secret, but he also knew she came with good intentions. There were even more things they needed to consider in a more comprehensive and long-term way. If she hadn't unexpectedly appeared, the world of cultivation would have been in for a painful disaster.
It's not that he didn't worry about letting a wolf into the house, but when Li Hao spoke of his strength without reservation, and even revealed those secret things in his plan on how to deal with the Demon Lord, he showed him.
The headmaster knew that if he asked her, Li Hao would not hide anything and would tell her everything. But it was like a tacit understanding.
The headmaster recalled the situation while observing the situation in the field. As the formation covered the area, light still appeared above the heads of each person.
It also interrupted his thoughts. He had not expected to see such a scene. Although no one's awakened constellations contained the Purple Star, each of these people had surprisingly awakened constellations. In fact, half of them were constellations within the Ziwei Heng.
Every one of them is a core disciple of the sect. There are not just one or two, but more than twenty people, each of whom is extremely talented.
Li Hao had long speculated about the connection between magic and cultivation. The twenty people he brought with him were extremely talented in magic, and he had a premonition of the current situation.
Due to the passage of time, they can stay here for several months. It is hoped that during this time, these top talents can learn the methods of cultivation.
Everything you learn from this world will become a help to their world.
There was no one present except the Sect Leader, and the entire shocking scene of everyone awakening their stars was only seen by the Sect Leader.
After awakening, Li Hao handed over the arrangements for each person that had been prepared to the Sect Leader. The next step depended on the efforts of these pioneers.
At the same time, Li Hao also had her own research, and here she also had time to study her abilities. The little Li Hao she had separated, and the things that entered her spiritual realm through the people on the spacecraft.
...
On the Huaqing Sect's Sword Peak, inside the martial arts hall, a group of people were watching the daily homework assessment. The person in the center of the hall was demonstrating his mastered swordsmanship.
The swordsman standing at the head of the group watched the other person's movements with admiration. Clearly very satisfied with the other person's display, he was already considering taking him in as a disciple. Though he had only recently joined the sect, his comprehension and kung fu talent were impeccable.
Fortunately, the other party is just a young disciple who has just started, not enough to attract the attention of other inner disciples, otherwise such a good seedling will shine sooner or later.
Not only that, but he had his eye on more than just one promising candidate. The inner sect deacon's gaze swept across the room. Three people stood on the left side of the room. Their postures were distinctly different from those of the surrounding disciples, their gazes and demeanor distinct. Including the one currently present, these four were his chosen disciples.
"My God, Junior Brother Deng Wei is so amazing. He was able to master the Liuyun Sword Technique to such a level in just one day." Compared to the three disciples who were watching the sword moves carefully, the other disciples were discussing in a low voice.
"It's not just Junior Brother Deng Wei who is so powerful. I think Junior Sister Liu Yun's swordsmanship is even more outstanding. She has a sharp and decisive aura." The man looked at the only female among the three people standing on the right. His words of admiration and praise made his intentions clear.
"Don't get too excited. He's a genius and will enter the inner gate sooner or later." His friend next to him quickly reminded him in a low voice.
"...Hmm" he said, clearly feeling disappointed. His friend saw that he was upset and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, it seems like all the new students in this batch know each other. I heard there are over twenty of them, all from the same place. It's not just us at Jianfeng, but also in other peaks. These people have shown outstanding talent."
"Where did the Sect Leader find so many talented people?"
"They might be from a hidden family or some seedlings gathered from the mortal world."
These specialized and outstanding seeds in the Huaqing Sect are all very hardworking. They know that every second here is necessary to absorb knowledge. No matter what it is, it can help all the Blue Star people on the Hope.
They carried the hopes of everyone. Besides these gifted mages learning cultivation knowledge, a research team of over a hundred people was utilizing the time difference to conduct research.
Li Hao wasn't idle either, seizing every moment, hoping to achieve a breakthrough in her strength. Unfortunately, she had already been in seclusion under the care of the Sect Leader for ten days, and still had no clue. Once she closed her eyes, her thoughts simply couldn't calm down.
The more anxious he became, the more he began to fantasize. In his fantasy, the Hope, sailing through the universe, drifted on and on. As the first humans aboard gradually aged, they still hadn't found a suitable planet. As time passed, the Blue Star people on the ship had changed generations, and their only memories of Blue Star were those images.
They became miserable wanderers in the universe, Hope, without hope.
This illusion came from the most fearful thought in Li Hao's heart. She had always been afraid that her idea of traveling with Blue Star was wrong. She was afraid of the extremely heavy expectations projected on her.
Inside the spaceship, people grew old and children were born every day. They should have spent their lives in their beautiful homeland, but instead, they were left wandering the interstellar space. This illusion was too real. Even though she kept searching for new worlds and constantly traveling, she felt so powerless.
She had already extracted a part of her soul before, those parts about cowardice and timidity. She had thought that she was capable of dealing with the loneliness brought to her by this long time, but she felt it all over again in this illusion.
But she also has her pride and persistence. If she can't find it in one year, then ten years. If ten years still fail, then a hundred years. She will lead the Hope to find a new blue planet. She will give everything she has to achieve this goal.
In the end, she struggled to escape the illusion with her own willpower, but unfortunately, her strength hadn't improved. She didn't even have a clue what was going on. Every breakthrough she had previously made seemed so easy. Now, it had become an abyss blocking her way.
She emerged from her retreat. With over a month left before her originally agreed departure date, Li Hao stood atop the highest peak of the Huaqing Sect, offering a commanding view of the entire sect and the surrounding mountain ranges. The mist was gradually dispersing, and sunlight fell on the exposed mountaintops, shimmering golden light like a beautiful dragon.
Inevitably, a thought occurred to her: with so many places to visit, wouldn't it be possible to find a less threatening, less powerful place? Wouldn't it be faster to simply conquer a world rather than scouting for gold in the vast universe?
Just like the cultivation world before him, how suitable it was. It had the same environment as Blue Star, even a vaster land than Blue Star, and the same culture and writing.
Just look at the players she brought with her. Each of them can fit in well in this place. Inevitably, greed rose in her heart...
"You are here." A voice suddenly came from behind her, interrupting her thoughts and pulling her away from that evil thought.
She turned around and saw the headmaster, who looked worried. He was an elder whom Li Hao respected very much. His indulgence and help towards her were also the source of Li Hao's peace of mind in the world of cultivation.
The headmaster had already walked to her side and said, "Don't push yourself too hard. There are many things that you can't handle alone."
He immediately saw Li Hao's condition; he looked like he was being oppressed. It was just like his previous self. Under the threat of the demonic Purple Star, he, as the foremost figure in the righteous path, was also burdened with so much pressure.
He wanted to protect the Huaqing Sect and to secure a glimmer of hope for the righteous monks who would follow. When he was young, he put everything on himself.
"Maybe..." Li Hao opened his mouth and said hesitantly.
"You have to break through your inner..."
Li Hao talked with the headmaster for a long time. He pointed out her current obstacles, but her pressure could not be reduced by a simple conversation. Perhaps as long as the spacecraft found a suitable habitable planet, she would be able to break through immediately.
In the last days, Li Hao adjusted the original plan, assisted other members in handling some research matters, and temporarily put aside the cultivation.
The day they left was quite ordinary; the sect leader hadn't told anyone else they were leaving. Therefore, many elders, stewards, and even peak masters who had been preparing to accept disciples only realized their promising youngsters were gone after Li Hao and his group suddenly vanished.
Fortunately, the leader had anticipated this and went into seclusion in advance to avoid being chased and questioned by these people.
