Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1171: Chapter 248 Seizing the Physical Body

Upon hearing Elder Wang’s words, everyone couldn’t help but look at Li Hao.

At this moment, Li Hao was clad in the Extreme Thunder Immortal Armor, holding the Taowu Immortal Sword, both treasures prominently displayed, exuding immense power.

Just this set of immortal soldier alone had terrifying strength, capable of easily subduing the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer.

Under such an imposing aura, while everyone felt a chill down their spines, their eyes also grew fervent, realizing that perhaps this moment might be the closest they ever come to this radiant youth.

The hope of the Immortal Emperor’s legacy had already been shattered; now they could only settle for the next best thing. Becoming an Immortal Guard would at least be a hundred times better than an ordinary True Immortal.

If they wanted to make a name for themselves in the True Realm, this was undoubtedly a shortcut.

“Haotian, I admit some of my previous words were inappropriate. Please don’t take offense. I’m willing to follow you as an Immortal Guard!”

Someone spoke up first, offering Li Hao an apologetic smile.

In his heart, he was secretly regretting not befriending Li Hao earlier, and instead, offending him with his words. He was unsure now if he would succeed.

Li Hao glanced at him but said nothing.

“Haotian, I have spent eight thousand years, condensing Original True Intent from Spear Dao. Could I follow you?”

In the crowd, Lin Sheng suddenly spoke up.

Previously, when Li Hao challenged the True Venerate Tower, he suspected Elder Wang was favoring Li Hao. Now, Li Hao had endured 27 Heavenly Tribulations and condensed the Nine Flower Immortal Seal, completely winning his admiration. He had adjusted his mindset and wanted to follow Li Hao down that supreme path.

Upon hearing Lin Sheng’s words, those around revealed expressions of surprise; apart from Li Hao, Lin Sheng had the highest talent here, yet he was willing to become Li Hao’s Immortal Guard?

Becoming an Immortal Guard certainly meant receiving abundant cultivation resources and powerful Immortal Laws, but it also meant being subordinate to Li Hao and risking one’s life for him – this was why some were still hesitating.

Li Hao looked at him, seeing Lin Sheng’s determined gaze, seemingly holding an indelible quest for Tao belief, and he did not refuse, nodding slightly, saying:

“You may.”

Upon hearing Li Hao’s agreement, Lin Sheng immediately felt relieved, a slight comfort and ease showing on his face, bowing: “Thank you, I will not let you down!”

“Haotian, we two are also willing to follow you, may we?”

At this time, both Flower Saint and Travel Saint spoke up.

Li Hao, seeing their serious expressions, smiled and said: “Alright.”

Both of them immediately felt relieved, nodding at Li Hao.

They had previously founded the Flower Travel Association merely because they knew the Immortal Path was broken, feeling desolate and thus no longer passionate about cultivation, yet earlier, both had dreams of cultivating into Immortal Divine, and now with the opportunity right before them, they did not want to miss it.

Besides them, others also began to speak up and request.

Ming Saint and Mu Saint remained silent, feeling somewhat conflicted, but ultimately choosing to walk that path hoping to rely on their own strength.

“The Immortal Guard positions are precious, you could also pick from outside, you don’t necessarily have to use all ten slots here.”

Elder Wang sent voice transmission to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded, agreeing upon five people.

Aside from Lin Sheng, Flower Saint, and Travel Saint, there were also Winter Blade and Chen Baoyu, whom he had first befriended.

The others seeing Li Hao had not chosen them, felt complicated emotions, but understood; they had not been acquainted with this youth before, not having shared many words, it was normal not to be chosen.

“Go find Venerable God, I’ll take them to inherit the Immortal Guard.”

After Li Hao finished selecting, Elder Wang said to him.

Li Hao nodded, then proceeded toward the True Venerate Tower.

Upon arriving at the tower, Venerable God’s projection was already awaiting, smiling at Li Hao:

“You’ll soon be able to leave. Though you have now become a formal disciple, don’t be complacent. Becoming a Direct Disciple brings benefits multiplied by countless times. The Immortal Emperor’s formal disciples numbered tens of thousands in the past, but there were only three Direct Disciples!”

Li Hao nodded and smiled: “I’ll do my best.”

Seeing Li Hao’s easy, relaxed demeanor, Venerable God shook his head, smiling. He had observed this youth over the years, noting his temperament, thus didn’t overly advise him – after all, Li Hao’s current performance had already greatly satisfied him.

“Prepare yourself, I will pass the True Venerate Tower’s essence to you.”

Venerable God said.

Li Hao nodded, ready to receive.

…

…

Land of All Saints.

Time flies, and in just five short years, tremendous changes have occurred here.

Since the Source Ancestor God King and others left with the Chi Ying Immortal Monarch to the Heavenly Palace for cultivation, not long after, numerous immortal Tao forces descended upon All Heavens.

Through interactions with these forces, the remaining Saints in All Heavens learned that the Source Ancestor and the God King were identified with extremely high talent in the Heavenly Palace, both rare prodigies, and have already become disciples under the Immortal King’s tutelage, with a promising future.

Besides them, among the several hundred other Saints, there are also some prodigies expected to become strong in the Immortal Monarch Realm.

Therefore, this fake realm left by the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor has attracted the attention of the Heavenly Palace, willing to send an Immortal Army to clear the ancient road battlefield and engage in a great battle with the Ancient Demons. Now the ancient road outside the Immortal Gate has been cleared into a forbidden zone where the Ancient Demons dare not approach.

Subsequently, envoys from the Heavenly Palace came to recruit disciples from the small worlds within All Heavens.

Besides the Saints, there are also corresponding tests and recruitments for the Four Stands Realm and Tao Comprehension Realm.

With the Heavenly Palace’s remarkable momentum, coupled with the exposure of the talent of the Source Ancestor and the God King, whose reputations spread beyond the Heavenly Palace, it also attracted some other forces from nearby regions to this place, seeking promising talents overlooked by the Heavenly Palace.

Thus, All Heavens is now extremely bustling, with numerous Immortal Divines visiting, causing excitement and reverence among the Divine Dynasties in the small worlds. They are striving to send their princes and princesses under the tutelage of the Immortal Divines for cultivation. If successful, this alone would deter other Divine Dynasties from challenging them.

After all, no one would dare to say whether, when those princes and princesses return from their studies, they would unleash their wrath and obliterate a Divine Dynasty with a single strike.

“Have you made up your mind? We offer courtesy before force; don’t fail to appreciate our kindness!”

At this moment, in the void of the Haotian Sacred Land.

A group of figures were engaged in a tense confrontation.

Feng Boping, the Sword Master, Mi Tian Saint, and others were all seething with anger, glaring at the three celestial-appearing figures in front of them.

Although the opposing party was only three people, the True Immortal Realm aura they exuded suppressed everyone in the Sacred Land, leaving them unable to breathe.

“Don’t go too far! This so-called courtesy before force, if we don’t sell, we don’t sell! You’re just robbing us!”

Feng Boping clenched his fists, suppressing his fury as he spoke.

“Hmph, as you said, it’s just a corpse with its Primordial Spirit already annihilated. Rather than letting it remain here to be slowly eroded by time, why not hand it to us? I can refine it into a Supreme Immortal Pill, allowing it to serve a purpose. You can each receive a hundred Immortal Stones and become disciples under my sect, taking you to the True Realm to become immortals!”

“This is a win-win situation, don’t be ungrateful!”

The young man in a silver robe on the right of the trio said coldly.

“The chance has been given, this is your last warning, don’t fail to cherish it!”

Beside him, a cold and beautiful woman said, her colored dress fluttering as she emitted waves of immortal power, her furrowed brow showing some impatience.

Feeling the pressure from this woman, Feng Boping and the others were seething with anger, yet dared not explode.

After all, if they truly fought, the opponents were three True Immortals!

One of them seemed to be a deacon of their sect, a formidable presence even among the True Immortal Realm.

“Xiao Feng, don’t get angry with them, restrain yourself; if conflict really breaks out, we’ll all die!”

Mi Tian Saint had a somber expression as he communicated mentally with Feng Boping, aware of his disciple’s past feelings with the young man and worried he might lose control.

Yet he also realized these three True Immortals had icy gazes, and if conflict truly erupted, they might annihilate the entire Sacred Land, leaving no survivors.

Their methods could be harsher than those of All Heavens’ Saints!

After all, they still considered incense fire, whereas True Immortals had no such concerns.

“When the Lie Sky Saint was here, they hadn’t exposed their true intentions, merely praising Hao’s corpse. Now that the Lie Sky Saint has followed the Heavenly Palace and left, they have no scruples!”

The Sword Master was also communicating mentally, his words filled with murderous intent and fury, yet likewise restrained.

Hearing the Sword Master’s words, Feng Boping’s fingers tightened slightly. Before the Ancient Demonic Calamity, the Lie Sky Saint laid down a lie, betting there would be a turnaround in that calamity. This earth-shattering lie was indeed realized by Li Hao, turning true, which resulted in the Lie Sky Saint receiving enormous feedback and ascending to the True Immortal Realm in a leap!

And when the Heavenly Palace arrived, astonished at the birth of a True Immortal in a realm with barely any immortal power, they repeatedly invited her, offering great benefits. However, Lie Sky Saint kept declining, wishing to stay here a while longer with Feng Boping and the others.

After learning of her great opportunity, Feng Boping and Mi Tian Saint both persuaded her to join the Heavenly Palace, for it held a brighter future.

With their persuasion, the Lie Sky Saint finally agreed to leave with the Immortal Monarch powerhouses recruiting disciples for the Heavenly Palace.

Not long after the departure of the Lie Sky Saint, the true intentions of the three True Immortals who had come to Haotian Sacred Land to recruit disciples were unveiled.

The celestial demeanor they had previously shown, their amiable faces, instantly transformed into what was seen now. As it turned out, ever since arriving at this place, they had coveted Li Hao’s body.
