Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1789: Chapter 463: Return (Part 2)

Gu Yan and Yue Xi also used Divine Sense to locate Li Hao’s position and quickly ran over once they spotted him.

Li Hao waved his hand and waited for them to approach before saying, "How did you come to the Primordial True Realm, and where is the Sect Master?"

Hearing Li Hao mention the Great Dream Master, Gu Yan quickly said, "Senior Brother, after you left the Southern Domain, the Sect Master used the Great Dream Clan’s quota to send Senior Sister Yue Xi and me inside. It was a guaranteed spot for one of the top hundred clans."

Li Hao realized, no wonder Yue Xi and Gu Yan were also able to enter.

"The Sect Master said we are the hope of the sect. If the Sect Master knew you also came, he would be overjoyed," Yue Xi said, her eyes reddening.

Li Hao, the most talented in their sect, had almost died in the Southern Domain, suppressed by a Supreme, and was forced to leave. This was an unspoken wound in their hearts.

Li Hao nodded slightly, but his heart suddenly sighed. Upon returning this time, he should repay the Great Dream Master’s kindness after breaking through and becoming a king. However, the Supreme in the Southern Domain would surely notice if he set foot there, and it might cause trouble for the Great Dream Master.

Never return to the Southern Domain unless I become an Emperor.

Shen Wuji, the Ghost Tribe sisters, and others also approached Li Hao, curious about his whereabouts after leaving the Southern Domain.

Li Hao did not hide anything and briefly mentioned his journey to the Northern Domain.

Su Muqing and others listened from the side, seeing Li Hao surrounded by many top talents, their hearts filled with complex feelings.

Although Di Lincen, Shen Wuji, and others could not compare to Chi Yuan and Luo Ningshuang for now, it was only because they had been in the Primordial True Realm for a short time. Given time, they would surely become top existences among the Immortal Lord Realm, like future Luo Ningshuang.

Su Muqing recalled the information she had received, that the young man had defeated all True Immortals in the Southern Domain and was forced to flee to the Northern Domain after being suppressed by a Supreme, where she eventually encountered him...

At this thought, she bit her lip harder, causing it to crack and bleed.

A rare reunion, Li Hao also chat with them, receiving an invitation from the Ghost Tribe sisters and Shen Wuji to visit their clan.

As several clear voices echoed in the void, the powerhouses from various factions came to pick up their people. Everyone reluctantly agreed to meet again after they all broke through and became kings.

They knew that with Li Hao’s return, he would soon break through and become a king, leaving the Primordial True Realm.

Meanwhile, they would still need to cultivate for several thousand years, melting all 23 Chaos Laws before taking that step.

"Little Junior Brother, Sixth Junior Sister!"

A gentle voice called, and Senior Brother Gu Mofan’s figure appeared above Li Hao and the others.

Seeing Li Hao surrounded by many figures, including Luo Ningshuang, Su Wanyi, and Xue Consort, all top talents who had melted 23 Chaos Laws, Gu Mofan couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise but also understood that geniuses tend to attract and gather among themselves.

"Senior Brother."

Li Hao looked up, smiling as he greeted his senior brother.

"It seems you’ve had quite a harvest this trip. Is there anything else you need to do? If not, come back with me to report," Gu Mofan said with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Hao waved goodbye to Gu Yan, Di Lincen, and the others.

"Haotian..."

As Li Hao was about to leave, Su Muqing suddenly spoke.

Li Hao looked at her in surprise, just as she was about to say something, a seven-colored Divine Light suddenly enveloped Li Hao. Immediately, a figure appeared beside him, dressed in green, with a stunning face she found extremely familiar, identical to her own!

The words at her lips suddenly got stuck, as if some force was blocking them, preventing her from uttering a single word.

"You’re back."

Shi Miao’s eyes were full of affection as she looked at Li Hao, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing her, Li Hao couldn’t help but smile, saying, "It’s been a long wait."

"Let’s go, we’ll talk at home," Shi Miao said softly.

Li Hao nodded.

Immediately, the two of them, hand in hand and watched by everyone, followed Gu Mofan’s figure, leaving together from Boundary Flipping Mountain.

Su Muqing stood there dazed, watching the scene unfold. It was only after the figures completely disappeared that she snapped back to reality, her face turning pale.

"That person..."

Di Lincen and the others suddenly noticed Shi Miao’s appearance, identical to Su Muqing’s, and couldn’t help but look at Su Muqing in surprise.

Su Muqing felt their gazes on her face, a burning sensation, as she suddenly, for the first time, hated her appearance.

...

Atop Extreme Dao Mountain.

Li Hao followed Gu Mofan and Shi Miao back, along with Di Lingshu.

"Senior Brother, you don’t know..."

On the way, Di Lingshu recounted how Li Hao had given up the Heavenly Heart for proving the Dao, leaving both Gu Mofan and Shi Miao shocked, staring at Li Hao in disbelief.

Seeing their strange and puzzled gazes, Li Hao suddenly regretted bringing this senior sister along. Though he knew she was concerned for him, there was no need to mention it to everyone...

Upon reaching the mountaintop, they went straight to the Extreme Dao Hall, where they saw their master, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, sitting leisurely in the hall. On his face was a faint, inscrutable smile, slightly reined in to show extreme majesty, but with a touch of softness, rendering him very approachable.

"Master."

They all bowed their heads in reverence.

"Little Junior Brother, Sixth Junior Sister, you’re finally back. How was it? Any gains?"

Beside the hall, Fifth Senior Brother Long Qingge eagerly asked.

On the side, Third Senior Sister Zhan Qinghuang also looked at Li Hao and Di Lingshu with curiosity.

All the senior brothers and sisters had gathered.

However, Li Hao could tell that these were their incarnations; their true selves weren’t here.

"This..."

Gu Mofan thought of Di Lingshu’s words on the way and couldn’t help but look at Li Hao.

Before Li Hao could speak, Di Lingshu’s mouth started spitting out details of the Endless Heavenly Domain like sparks, describing everything in detail.

However, before speaking, she had already used a voice transmission to ask Li Hao whether to inform the master about the matters of the two elders in the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain.

Li Hao naturally chose not to hide anything. Besides the personal panel, he felt there were no secrets to keep from this master.

Moreover, the two chaos elders, Elder Qi and Elder Eight, were ancient, and he wanted to learn more about them from his master.

"Swept through the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain, the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain?"

Hearing Di Lingshu’s words, Zhan Qinghuang and the others were stunned, looking at Li Hao in shock. Being able to sweep through the Eighth Layer Heavenly Domain was already extraordinarily terrifying. As for the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain, when they ventured in, they could only hunt Chaos Dao Seeds at the periphery, not daring to venture deep. Li Hao actually swept through it?!

Di Wushè fixed his gaze on Li Hao. He knew Di Lingshu wouldn’t lie, but to sweep the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain meant that this little junior brother’s combat power was somewhat terrifying.

"Moreover, in the Ninth-layer Heavenly Domain, we also encountered two strange elders..."

Di Lingshu narrated the encounter with Elder Qi and Elder Eight.

"Elders born at the dawn of Chaos?"

Gu Mofan and Di Wushè were both taken aback, showing a thoughtful expression.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor’s eyes twinkled briefly, a hint of nostalgia on his face, saying, "I didn’t expect you to encounter the Elder Ten. How’s their health holding up?"

"Elder Ten?"

Li Hao was puzzled.

"At the dawn of Chaos, ten top powerhouses were born. They were the mightiest of that chaotic era, known to us as the Elder Ten."

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor said softly, "Later, with the Great Emperor Era, the Emperor Dao Cultivation Method we now practice was established, replacing the era of the Elder Ten. But they were quite admirable existences of the previous epoch."

"Master, why could they enter the Endless Heavenly Domain?"

Di Wushè couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor slowly explained, "It’s related to their cultivation system. The place was their birthplace, allowing them to enter. If any of you could become a disciple of the Elder Ten, you could also enter the Endless Heavenly Domain at will. The Heavenly Dao Power there is inexhaustible for you. But as far as I know, the Elder Ten have not accepted disciples for a long time now."

Di Wushè and the others exchanged glances, and Gu Mofan asked, "Master, are you stronger, or is the Elder Ten stronger?"

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Naturally, it’s me. After all, it’s the era of the Emperor Dao now. The era of the Elder Ten is the past. Even if they reached the peak of their cultivation, their strength only matches the Quasi-Emperor Realm, bound by that shackle they cannot break free from. It’s an unavoidable matter, just like in the Emperor Dao era now, the end of cultivation leads to the Great Emperor. Perhaps in a distant future, a new era will dawn, capable of producing beings beyond the Great Emperor."
