Chapter 629: Twenty Years of Sun and Moon
In the center of the Chaos Sea.
In this fairy city on the island, a barrier of fairy power and light covers the outside of the island. Taoist platforms are scattered everywhere on the island, and many disciples are meditating and practicing on them.
In the main hall, more than ten figures were sitting cross-legged.
If Li Hao were here, he would find that these people were all familiar faces to him.
The three sisters of the Su family, Lin Zexuan, the sisters of the ghost clan, as well as the genius of their clan, another young man of the ghost clan, as well as Mingyue, Shen Wuji, and Di Linchen.
"Recently, the young man named Haotian came to the Primordial Realm, causing a huge disturbance and causing your Dao hearts to be shaken, making it impossible for you to concentrate on your cultivation."
In the hall, the majestic figure of the Chaos Immortal Emperor sits upright, surrounded by the sun, moon, stars, and the avenue. It seems as if he is in a vast galaxy, or sitting in the space of the past and the future. People dare not look directly at him, and have a feeling of crawling and looking up.
His voice was gentle, but each word was majestic, like the humming sound of Tao.
Hearing the master's words, everyone in the hall looked at each other in surprise. The ghost sisters knew Mingyue, Shen Wuji and others, and they were all geniuses in the Southern Region, but the Su sisters next to them had only recently come to the Primordial Realm and became the master's disciples.
Among them, the genius named Lin Zexuan beside him, like Di Linchen, is already a direct disciple.
Although they did not condense the Daoyuan Immortal Seal, the Chaos Immortal Emperor's requirements for accepting disciples were not that strict.
As for the others, they are in the candidate sequence for direct disciples. The Chaos Immortal Emperor's requirement for them is to refine 20 laws of chaos, so that they can become his disciples and receive the Chaos Immortal Emperor's true teachings!
At this time, after hearing their master speak, they realized that they all knew Haotian?
Lin Zexuan and the Su sisters and others also understood the talents of Di Linchen, Mingyue and the ghost sisters, which were not much different from theirs. They did not expect that they also recognized Li Hao.
"Master, his soul lifespan is clearly only over a hundred years, how could it be so exaggerated? Could it be that he is the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor, but has somehow concealed his soul lifespan?!"
In the crowd, Mingyue asked through gritted teeth.
Her master is the Supreme of the Southern Territory. Coming to the Chaos Immortal Emperor to learn skills is a favor from her master, and it is also a favor she will have to repay in the future. Therefore, although she cannot be considered to have learned from Chaos, she is also half a disciple of the Chaos Immortal Emperor.
Hearing Mingyue's words with obvious reluctance, Su Muqing, Su Wanqing and others all looked at her with frowns.
When I first became her disciple, I had a conversation with this girl. I felt that she had a kind of arrogance in her bones, but her attitude towards them was relatively restrained. But now it seems that she has a great prejudice against Li Hao?
Lin Zexuan glanced at Mingyue, who asked what he wanted to say, but he caught a glimpse of Su Muqing's frown from the corner of his eye, and a hint of gloom suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"I've inquired about concealing soul lifespan. It seems only the Samsara Stone can do it. But that thing is even rarer than an imperial weapon in the hands of the Ancient Demon Clan."
Shen Wuji said.
He had complicated feelings towards Li Hao. He used to have some fighting spirit, but now he had lost all that spirit and was left with only sighs and bitterness.
"There's no other explanation."
Mingyue said firmly.
The hall became quiet, no one spoke, and everyone was waiting for the master to give an answer.
The Chaos Immortal Emperor's expression was calm. He said, "That young man does have secrets, but he's not the reincarnation of the Immortal Emperor. He had his own opportunities, and you all have yours too. That young man rose from obscurity, once growing up in a land devoid of immortal power within the decaying Tianhua Pseudo-Realm. In just a hundred years, he ascended step by step to the heavens, finally reaching where he is today."
"You have received top-notch training since childhood, with all kinds of immortal powers and spiritual medicines. If we really talk about the difference, it's not just about talent and understanding, but also about your Dao heart."
Hearing Master's words, everyone was stunned.
"He was born so low?"
Lin Zexuan was a little stunned. He had previously guessed that the other party was also a disciple of the Immortal Emperor and was carefully cultivated by the Immortal Emperor behind the scenes, but he did not expect that his master would say that the other party rose from obscurity.
As a disciple of the Heavenly Palace, Mingyue knew some information about Li Hao. She knew that Li Hao was the direct disciple of the Sinful Immortal Emperor Tianhuai. Since he was the direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor, his growth conditions must not be bad. Therefore, she was a little skeptical about what her master said, but she naturally did not dare to question it, and just frowned.
The Chaos Immortal Emperor's eyes were calm, like the deep ocean, and he seemed to be able to see clearly the thoughts and ideas of every disciple in front of him.
He said slowly, "That young man's Dao Heart is extraordinary, far surpassing the rest of you. If talent can be lost, then Dao Heart should not be lost. From today on, you will suspend your contemplation of the Primal Chaos Stars and instead, gather at the edge of the Absolute Sea Cliff to comprehend your Dao Heart. Once your Dao Heart reaches its eternal pinnacle, then continue your cultivation. By then, you will no longer be swayed by external factors."
When they heard his words, everyone's faces changed. Master actually wanted them to stop practicing. How could this be possible?
If this were the case, wouldn't the gap between them be widened further by Haotian?
They all looked up, but met the calm eyes of the Chaos Immortal Emperor. In an instant, the doubts in their hearts and the many words on their lips all disappeared.
Even though I was unwilling in my heart, I didn't dare to question it, let alone refuse.
When Su Muqing heard what her master said, she was a little stunned. Her master just said that the young man's heart of Taoism far exceeded theirs?
But the other party...
Her eyes became complicated, and she wanted to confirm with her master, but she realized in her heart that there was no need for her master to deceive them. As the Immortal Emperor, it was even more impossible for him to lie to them.
Thinking about the young man who had given up practicing in his courtyard and just stayed by his side every day... It turns out that he didn't have a low heart for Taoism, but just wanted to keep him company?
She clenched her fists and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in her chest as if it were pricked by a needle.
"When your Dao Heart reaches the eternal peak, you will understand that time is long and a moment's speed is irrelevant. Standing at the peak in the end is eternity."
The Chaos Immortal Emperor said calmly, "Just like the Chaos Sea you see, and every drop of rain and every rock in the world, they are not like birds and beasts that can fly and jump, but birds and beasts, flowers and trees, will eventually wither. Only these mountains and waters are eternal."
"After thousands of years and thousands of years, that drop of rain will remain the same drop of rain, evaporating from the ground, turning into mist, and finally condensing, returning to the earth."
“It changes its appearance and body, but it still exists eternally in the world.”
His voice was deep and seemed to be telling the truth of heaven and earth.
Su Muqing and the others were all shocked. Suddenly, it seemed as if the world had changed so much that it had been transformed before their eyes. Countless lives had died, but the mountains and rivers were still changing, and the rivers were flowing endlessly!
"eternal……"
Everyone felt a sense of enlightenment.
Yes, temporary success or failure is not enough to determine the future.
"Master, my Dao Heart has reached its eternal peak and has not been affected by this incident."
Di Linchen suddenly spoke, his expression calm, unlike the others who had impetuous eyes.
He came here just to find out the answer, not to let his heart be shaken. Not to mention that he had a great liking for the young man, even if the other party was his enemy, he would not be anxious. He would slowly lie low and practice until he achieved perfection.
The Chaos Immortal Emperor glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Go and comprehend the Chaos Stars."
"Yes, Master."
Di Linchen stood up and then turned and left.
Since the young man was not the reincarnation of the emperor but another opportunity, he had no other doubts in his heart.
There are countless opportunities in the world, and he has also obtained a very precious opportunity. He only needs to walk his own path. The imperial way is unique and there is no need to compare with others.
When the others saw Di Linchen leaving, their expressions changed slightly, but soon they thought of their master's words and quickly calmed down.
"Go to Juehai Cliff for meditation."
The Chaos Immortal Emperor waved his hand and sent them all to a cliff on the back of the island. There, they could see countless chaos waves crashing and countless avenues disappearing.
…
Jidao Mountain, in a small courtyard with a fence.
Li Hao studies music every day. In addition to the piano, he also masters other instruments such as the hujia, erhu, and pipa, and can interpret various kinds of music with ease.
In addition to studying music, Li Hao also asked his master for some ancient demon corpses.
Immortal Emperor Daoyuan did not ask why, but just asked his second senior brother Di Wushe to deliver it to Li Hao.
Only then did Li Hao realize that his second senior brother's real body had already been in the outer real world, stationed at a border post of the imperial clan. There were many ancient demons there, who were always eyeing the most powerful clan in the real world and launching attacks.
The Emperor Clan is the most powerful clan in the Real World, and therefore bears most of the firepower of the Ancient Demons. In addition to the Emperor Clan, most of the other top ten clans also frequently fight with the Ancient Demon Clan.
Not long after Li Hao tried to curry favor with him, his second senior brother Di Wushe sent Li Hao tens of thousands of ancient demon corpses at the Immortal Lord level, as well as the remains of hundreds of ancient demon fairy kings.
"Junior brother, what do you want these things for?"
The incarnation of Emperor Wushe left something behind and asked Li Hao casually.
Li Hao smiled and said without hiding anything, "Eat."
"eat?"
Emperor Wushe was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Hao with a strange expression. The flesh and blood of the ancient demon was extremely rough, and other demons didn't like to eat it, let alone humans who were extremely picky about food.
But he didn't ask any more questions, leaving the ancient demon's corpse behind and leaving.
Li Hao continued to cook ancient demons every day, delved into music, and occasionally flipped through the many poetry and storybooks he had collected before.
The days in the small courtyard were very comfortable, while on the other side, in the Chaos Dojo, the incarnation of the dark side clone was constantly accepting challenges from all sides, killing all around and beheading many incarnations of the challengers, with an extremely strong momentum.
Every day many people go to the Chaos Dojo to watch the battles, wanting to see the limits of this human boy. However, Li Hao has never been defeated after fighting thousands of games.
However, this is also because those challengers have mastered fewer laws of chaos than Li Hao.
In the blink of an eye, a year passed, and clouds gathered on Jidao Mountain.
Many disciples in the Taoist temple couldn't help cheering when they saw this scene.
"It's the Chaos Rain that comes every five years!"
"Master has sent rain again, absorb it quickly!"
Many disciples of the Taoist temple were looking up at the clouds in the sky excitedly. As the clouds continued to gather, the sky became dim, and soon there was a sound of thunder.
After a few bean-sized raindrops fell, heavy rain suddenly poured down.
Li Hao and Shi Miao, who were sitting in the courtyard, looked at each other in surprise. They didn't expect that the Immortal Emperor Daoyuan would bestow such benefits on his disciples every five years.
What is falling is not so much raindrops as it is the nectar of immortal power, and it contains the power of chaos, which has the effect of purifying and condensing the immortal power.
Li Hao and Shi Miao were both sitting in the yard, not taking shelter from the rain, but bathing in the chaotic rain.
Li Hao relaxed his body and absorbed the power of the chaotic rain. He felt that the immortal power was flowing into his body like water. The immortal sea in his body, which was previously at the third level of the Immortal King, was soon filled up and reached a bottleneck.
Li Hao did not deliberately suppress his realm, but let nature take its course. Soon he broke through and reached the fourth level of the Immortal King realm.
As his immortal power continued to increase, Li Hao's mind was no longer on cultivation. Instead, he quietly looked up at the rain above his head.
He hadn't been caught in the rain for a long time since he started practicing, and this feeling was something he hadn't felt for a long time.
"The sound of rain..."
Li Hao's eyes suddenly showed some enlightenment. The sound of dripping water beside his ears was also a kind of music.
“Rain, thunder, clouds… Music is more than just an instrument; the essence of music lies in rhythm.”
Li Hao muttered to himself.
The Dao of Music, which had already reached a bottleneck, now comprehended the state of mind, broke through the bottleneck, and was promoted to the ninth level.
Art points increased: 1.
Total: 4 points.
As the Chaos Rain ended, the sky above Jidao Mountain returned to its bright and clear weather of years ago. The Chaos Rain that fell on the ground had long since transformed into fluffy and thick immortal power, which was greedily absorbed by the disciples on the mountain.
After absorbing a lot of energy, the disciples of each Taoist temple quickly began to sit cross-legged and practice to refine the immortal power.
Li Hao also withdrew his gaze, and felt the many musical realms flooding into his mind, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and summoned a ball of water, wrapped it around the strings, and began to play.
The sound produced by the strings covered with water was completely different from the previous one.
Shi Miao was a little surprised when she heard Li Hao's piano music. She felt that the sound was so soul-stirring and extremely pleasant that it made her feel relaxed and happy.
“The thunder of burning wood can also become a moving melody.”
"Pick up a handful of quicksand, and the sound of the gravel falling is also a melody."
Li Hao feels that his understanding of music has become broader and he is no longer limited to musical instruments.
There are nine levels of musical rhythm. If you reach ten levels, you will be considered a saint!
"You have been promoted to the fourth level of the Immortal Lord Realm."
Shi Miao smiled at Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded. He felt nothing about the improvement of his realm.
Time flies.
Three years later, Li Hao's poetry and calligraphy also broke through the bottleneck from the sixth level, comprehended the seventh level of state of mind, and was promoted to the seventh level.
The challenges in the Chaos Dojo are still going on, but the number of onlookers is gradually decreasing. After all, many disciples who come here are unwilling to waste time watching the battles. The continuous victories for several years have also made Li Hao's reputation recognized. Many members of the ancient Chaos clan, apart from being stubborn and refusing to accept it, hate and fear this human boy.
Because the rankings were hidden, and Li Hao did not continue after smelting the nine Chaos Daos, the outside world gradually accepted Li Hao's previous performance.
It’s the tenth year since Li Hao came here.
His poetry and calligraphy also reached the ninth level, as did his music, but he was stuck in the tenth level of mind.
There is a huge gap between the ninth and tenth levels. When Li Hao broke through the tenth level of the Dao of Painting, he became extraordinary and became a saint, which triggered a great vision and he entered the realm of saint since then.
Those below the tenth level are ordinary people, and those at the tenth level are saints.
While Li Hao was comprehending the rhythm of music, several figures left the cliffs of the Chaos Sea one after another and returned to the main hall of the island.
The Chaos Immortal Emperor took a look at his disciples and knew that their Dao hearts had improved. Previously, they were at the middle stage of the eternal Dao heart, but now they had been upgraded to the top level and were no longer disturbed by external things.
"Go ahead."
He allowed them to go to the Chaos Stars for enlightenment.
"For the past ten years, his incarnation has been challenging people in that Chaos Dojo instead of practicing. He really shouldn't have gotten angry with those people. Why would he care about such a challenge?"
The ghost sisters were still in the Juehai Cliff, talking quietly. Mingyue was also here. Her Dao heart had not yet been elevated to the eternal top level, but the sisters of the Su family had left.
"snort!"
Hearing this, Mingyue snorted coldly, "That's just his character. He even dared to reject my master back then. He didn't even care about the Immortal Emperor's face, let alone those in the same realm."
The two ghost sisters glanced at her, and Gui Lingyue said, "You still have the mind to think about these things? If you continue to stay here, your Jianxin brother will definitely leave you behind."
Hearing this, Mingyue's face changed. Her senior brother Jianxin did not become a disciple of the Chaos Immortal Emperor, but instead became a disciple in a Chaos Immortal City of the Green Emperor.
The Chaos Immortal City is ruled by the Green Emperor, and it is rumored that the Green Emperor is an Immortal Emperor with extremely strong sword skills. This is also the reason why Jianxin became his disciple.
She and her senior brother each became a disciple of a different Immortal Emperor, and at the same time, they also wanted to expand each other's network of contacts.
"Aren't you here too?"
Mingyue said unhappily.
"We are not the Immortal Emperor's direct disciples. It's not shameful if we can't catch up with them." Gui Lingyue said calmly.
Mingyue was furious and stopped talking. She closed her eyes and began to meditate, but she became more and more anxious.
Time flies, and another ten years have passed. The few figures left on the cliff have left one after another, and since then, the cliff has become empty again.
On Jidao Mountain, a melodious melody echoed in the courtyard.
"Your music can actually make the surrounding immortal energy become more intense, and it seems to even attract immortal energy."
Shi Miao was fascinated by the music and was extremely amazed by Li Hao's music.
Although she could easily gather spiritual power with this ability, it was impossible for her to do it purely through music.
Li Hao smiled, and suddenly, his expression changed slightly.
"Um?"
He felt a response from the Chaos Heavenly Dao List in his body and was a little surprised. He immediately investigated and found that it was the incarnation of the dark side clone who was defeated.
It turned out that in the previous challenges, many people with less Chaos Path had been defeated. Now the opponent challenged by the Dark Side Incarnation was actually a being who had smelted ten Chaos Paths.
“I actually lost.”
This was the first failure in the incarnation challenge in the past twenty years. Li Hao looked at the challengers behind him and found that they were all at the level of smelting the Chaos Dao, and among them there was even a monster that could be ranked among the top 6,000 on the Chaos Heavenly Dao List.
Li Hao shook his head and didn't care. If he lost, he lost. Anyway, he gained combat experience.
By occasionally looking through Dark Side's memories, he was able to absorb the clone's experience in sparring and fighting. Compared to an overwhelming victory, this kind of defeat was more helpful to him, as it allowed him to see his own flaws.
"Not enough physical skills..."
Li Hao knew why he lost the battle after just two glances. If his body movement was good enough and he could transform into a burning soul, he would still be able to fight. But he was eventually killed by the opponent.
