Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1158: Chapter 244: Nine-Flower True Immortal

In front of the thatched cottage.

Elder Wang sat in a rocking chair, gently swaying, his eyes gazing at Li Hao, as if trying to see through everything about this youth.

With his cultivation, this youth under his gaze was like a naked figure in the snow, with no place to hide anything. But now, he felt a sense that he couldn’t see through the other party.

“Your Chess Tao and Artistic Path have both reached the Entering Dao level, a rare juncture in this world. It is no small task to delve into these two arts to such a degree while simultaneously cultivating… Did you comprehend the Tao Law through Chess Tao and Artistic Path?”

His gaze was calm, yet it seemed to pierce through the youth’s body, seeing the shadows behind him.

Hearing this, Li Hao was a bit surprised, but Elder Wang’s ability to discern traces of the Original Dao from the Artistic Path made such a deduction unsurprising.

“Hmm.”

Li Hao nodded and smiled lightly: “All things in the world can Enter Dao, the common folks divide between literary and martial, yet the Saint Path encompasses all phenomena. There is the Path of the Scholarly Saint, that strikes enemies with poetry and books; there is the Spear Dao, that connects heaven and earth with a spear; there is the Lie Dao, that conceals the heavenly mechanism with grand deceptions… As long as one has the heart, it can Enter Dao, all become Dao!”

Elder Wang showed an expression of understanding, making sense in this context.

However, achieving this comprehension requires at least a Saint’s Heart Realm.

But to reach the Saint Realm and then cultivate the Artistic Path and Chess Tao is less preferable than continuing the original path, unless one has touched a Saint’s Heart Realm from childhood, with a heart embracing the Dao…

Thinking of this, Elder Wang sighed lightly: “In that case, whether you wish to play chess or paint in the future, I won’t advise against it. If you lack a companion, I’ll join you.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing that he understood, Li Hao smiled and said: “Shall we continue?”

Elder Wang chuckled without a sound, and when he saw Li Hao enthusiastically arranging the chessboard, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The moonlight was bright and clear, sprinkling on the ground like scattered salt.

Three games of chess, two wins and one loss, was Elder Wang’s record.

He focused on the chessboard, his brow furrowed; Li Hao’s chess ability had experienced a leap that afternoon, to the point where he could no longer suppress him, requiring earnest attention, never relaxing.

At this time, he faintly felt that this youth had also reached the chess realm where he was, glimpsing the vast world within chess.

However, his experience was somewhat lacking, but his progress was so rapid that in time, even a genuinely difficult contest would not be insurmountable.

Thinking of his own mastery of Chess Tao over tens of thousands of years being caught up with by this youth in such a short time, Elder Wang felt a complex emotion, unsure whether to be annoyed or pleased.

“A narrow victory by three and a half points.”

Elder Wang glanced at the chessboard and laughed lightly.

“I am impressed.”

Li Hao sighed sincerely.

The sophistication of Elder Wang’s Chess Tao was the finest he had ever seen.

Without continuing, Li Hao bid farewell to Elder Wang and returned to the mat.

At this moment, everyone else was already meditating with closed eyes, the place was utterly silent and tranquil.

Li Hao also sat on a mat, then summoned a panel to see two Original True Hearts.

He didn’t hesitate, directly embedding them into the Physical Body Dao and Control Dao.

Nine Orders of two, Form and Control!

With the embedding of the Original True Heart, Li Hao simultaneously selected to enhance.

In an instant, a roaring sound seemed to arise, resonating continually in Li Hao’s mind.

His Sea of Consciousness, like chaos, was constantly expanded amidst this resonance to more vast spaces.

At the same time, above Li Hao’s head, a sudden thunderous roar erupted across the heavens and the earth!

The formerly bright moonlit sky was instantly shrouded in massive clouds, with rolling thunder sounding like an angry roar from deep within the clouds, reverberating throughout the world.

Those meditating with closed eyes all opened their eyes, waking in awe.

When they looked up, they were momentarily stunned and then looked astonished at a certain spot.

There, a youth sat cross-legged on the mat, eyes slightly closed, hair lifted by the wind.

But at the center of that tribulation cloud, it was centered around the youth, though it now enveloped them all within.

“Is this the Three Calamity Heavenly Tribulations?”

Everyone felt the aura of tribulation power within the thunderclouds, their expressions subtly changing; only now did they suddenly realize that this youth was still only a Second Tribulation Saint.

“It’s almost ready!”

“It’s coming!”

All Saints focused their gaze, seeing the swirling dark clouds where tribulation light flickered like countless angry purple lightning serpents dancing within the clouds.

With the flicker of light, a sudden lightning column descended.

Everyone, who had already reached the Supreme Saint Realm, was unharmed by this heavenly tribulation force, now merely watching Li Hao quietly, wanting to see how he would transcend the tribulation.

Yet Li Hao remained cross-legged with closed eyes, seemingly oblivious, and did not employ Dao Domain to fend off.

Everyone’s eyes focused, the Travel Saint’s expression slightly changing, ready to speak a warning, but the lightning had already struck Li Hao.

In the embrace of lightning, the youth’s cross-legged pose still showed no change, hair fluttering, strands dancing in the lightning as though a fierce wind brushed over his body.

Soon, the lightning faded, yet the youth remained unscathed, his body showing not a hint of injury.

Seeing this scene, everyone’s expressions slightly shifted.

“Such a strong physical body, to withstand the heavenly tribulation merely by the body alone?”

“Is he perhaps a Body Cultivation?”

“Such a Taoist Body, how did he defeat a projection five times stronger than himself, with a top-level Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapon? But that trial seems to prohibit the use of other weapons, being purely a contest of one’s own strength.”

This was everyone’s first sight of Li Hao showcasing his power; the previous nine heavenly echoes were mere Dao Heart, unrelated to combat power. At this moment, some of them, harboring a bit of dissatisfaction in their hearts, slowly let it fade away.

To cultivate the physical body to such a degree, even this alone is exceedingly rare.
