Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 1505

Chapter 1505: Chapter 372: Obstruction

“Since you already guessed it, it’s time to step aside.”

Li Hao said coldly, not wanting the other party to pester him. After all, he couldn’t truly do anything to them at the moment.

“Impossible, I’ve also comprehended the Five Paths of Origin and reached the Fourth Origin Realm. This is swordsmanship; if you can understand it, then I can too!”

Sword Heart shook his head, his eyes full of disbelief, yet his expression seemed a bit lost.

Li Hao looked at his manic appearance, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and said, “Both of us have comprehended the Nine Orders and reached the Fourth Origin Realm, so what? It’s like both of us standing on the same building, looking at the same scenery. But our Dao Hearts are different—you’re named Sword Heart, I’m called Haotian. While the scenery we see is the same, the landscape in our hearts is heaven and earth!”

Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, Sword Heart was shocked deeply, countless chaotic thoughts seem to be cut off at that moment.

He gazed blankly at Li Hao, with only the echo of the other’s words resonating in his mind.

Seeing the same scenery… yet the landscape in the heart is heaven and earth?!

Li Hao no longer cared what the other thought, he walked past them, intending to leave the Emperor Platform.

However, upon reaching the edge of the Emperor Platform, he noticed the Sealing Array Barrier hadn’t opened, making his expression change slightly. Scrutinizing the Immortal Guard Commander, he said in a deep voice:

“What now, are you going back on your word? You intervened in this fight, spared his life. He’s survived, doesn’t that mean I’ve won? Or do you wish for another round?”

He stood in his position, speaking softly, yet his voice echoed like thunder, resonating throughout the mountaintop and the entire Southern Domain.

Li Hao’s words also woke up countless people who were stunned, bringing them back to their senses.

An uproar erupted, shaking the Southern Domain’s Immortal Dynasties and Immortal Cities to their core.

This battle actually concluded with Li Hao’s victory!

Three moves, the third nearly killed Sword Heart!

The Supreme had previously mentioned the three-move test, and without a doubt, Li Hao not only passed it but did so dramatically!

Being the Supreme’s direct disciple, Sword Heart was defeated by Li Hao, and from the perspective of soul life, Li Hao certainly had more qualifications to be the Supreme’s direct disciple!

Yet, the request of that young man resulted in his refusal, only seeking to leave peacefully.

For a moment, countless people were engaged in intense discussions, shouting in shock.

Although Li Hao was a disciple of the Sinful Immortal, the talent he displayed now stirred a strong sense of cherishing talent among many in the Southern Domain.

Such a prodigy, with only a hundred-year soul life, what does being a Sinful Immortal’s disciple matter? It’s still not too late to correct, still not too late to teach!

Compared to the identity of a Sinful Immortal’s disciple, such genius is what the Southern Domain most needs—it is the future’s powerful force against Ancient Demons!

“Terrifying, so terrifying!”

“How many years has it been since such a monster was born in our Southern Domain? Even compared to those few Immortal Emperors who created numerous legends during their True Immortal Realm period, isn’t this even greater?”

“This is the Emperor Dao talent, this is the Emperor’s Son. Nurture them well, and our Southern Domain will definitely produce another Immortal Emperor in the future!”

“Who would’ve thought the Sinful Immortal had already fallen yet could still take on such a disciple, it’s truly a blessing for our Southern Domain!”

Figures of old elders from many Blessed Land Cave Heavens, ancient secret realms, looked on this scene with shock and excitement in their eyes.

They had experienced the Ancient Demon War catastrophe, aware of the massacre that almost swept the Southern Domain. Countless places suffered, left in ruins, filled with wailing and corpses everywhere, the horrific degree many times scarier than Purgatory!

They yearned for strength, unwilling to endure such calamity again. They secluded themselves for years, nurturing their clans, cultivating themselves, all in preparation for future catastrophes.

Now, seeing the birth of such a monstrous new star, how could they not rejoice, not be excited!

“Senior brother, actually lost…”

Ming Yue stared blankly at this scene, completely bewildered.

This wasn’t a scene she would imagine even in her dreams, yet it happened in reality.

Keep in mind, Sword Heart had entered the sect earlier than her and, in terms of combat power, was stronger by a margin.

In her view, except for that Emperor Clan kid posing a mild threat, with an unknown trump card, it was impossible for Senior Brother to lose.

“He won…”

On the mountaintop, both the Great Dream Master and Li Tie Mu among others hadn’t expected Li Hao to win. After their initial daze, they were both thrilled and delighted.

At this moment, hearing Li Hao’s questioning voice resonating, they all awakened to the fact that Sword Heart’s flesh had peculiarly stopped previously, clearly indicating external interference. All present at the Immortal King Realm could visibly discern this truth.

“Don’t be hasty.”

The Immortal Guard Commander looked down at Li Hao, eyes filled with deep amazement. But due to his position, even when intrigued by this young prodigy, he could better comprehend the Emperor’s Heart.

“You meet the conditions to become the Supreme’s direct disciple, are you truly not reconsidering?”

The Immortal Guard Commander inquired.

Li Hao’s expression changed slightly. Though the words appeared as a question, in his ears, they seemed like a threat.

He didn’t anticipate the Supreme truly intending to go back on their word!

As a Supreme, a top-level True Realm, how could they behave this way?

Suppressing his anger, he responded sternly: “Your kindness is appreciated, but I’m accustomed to a free path, not fond of constraints. If one day the Ancient Demons launch a major assault, as long as I, Haotian, am present, I will certainly contribute my bit of effort!”

The Immortal Guard Commander inwardly said, “Good kid,” finding Li Hao’s words very comprehensive. However, he knew if Li Hao truly left just like this, he would become a major threat in the future.

“Do not delude yourself. Given your talent, with the Supreme’s nurturing, you might achieve the emperor’s status in the future!”

The Immortal Guard Commander solemnly said, “Do not think yourself beyond everything due to your high talent. You are a disciple of a Sinful Immortal, and the Supreme, disregarding past grievances, has been generous. If you remain stubborn and do not cherish your talent, when the Ancient Devastation truly arrives, what realm will you fight in? Perhaps the Immortal Monarch Realm?”

Li Hao’s countenance slightly changed, angrily saying: “Earlier, the Supreme had already agreed with me, yet you still hinder me. Do you mean to disregard even the Supreme’s words?”

The Immortal Guard Commander hadn’t expected Li Hao to be so articulate, using the Supreme as leverage against him.

He sneered inwardly, understanding the Emperor’s Heart; he knew very well that Li Hao mustn’t be let go so easily.

“I’m merely offering guidance; don’t misunderstand good intentions.”

The Immortal Guard Commander said sternly: “Since you want to leave, then go, but from now on, your life and death are unrelated to the Heavenly Palace. If you squander your talent, pursuing pleasure instead of progress, when the Ancient Demons’ catastrophe descends, and you are still in the Immortal Monarch Realm or an ordinary Immortal King Realm, even if you die for the Southern Domain, it would only be sorrowful!”

Seeing the Emperor Platform Barrier disappear, Li Hao noticed the other party finally willing to relent, and a sense of relief crept into his heart.

No matter what, in the end, the face wasn’t torn.

As for the other’s words, he merely let out a couple of cold laughs privately. If he truly stayed, that would be his disaster, would the Supreme really disregard past gripes to nurture him? He couldn’t believe it. After all, he had previously discerned that he was a pawn in the Emperor Dao chessboard, merely a piece in the game.

Now, with the Immortal Guard Commander’s words spread out, across the Southern Domain, countless people’s expressions turned complicated.

That young man rejected the Supreme’s direct disciple role, something rare through the ages, but, as the Immortal Guard Commander mentioned, such talent, if not properly nurtured, would truly be a pity if they went astray in the future.

After all, the True Immortal Realm is still too immature. Although Li Hao is exceptionally talented at this moment, he’s just a peerless young seed requiring proper care and cultivation.

The journey from the Immortal Monarch Realm to the Immortal King Realm, especially the Immortal King Realm, one level reaching heaven is common even across millennia. With Supreme nurturing, naturally, it assures maximum potential.

“You will not walk away!”

As Li Hao stepped off the Emperor Platform, the awakened Ming Yue suddenly appeared before Li Hao.

Her face, previously calm and frosty like dew, had now transformed from the ethereal Banished Immortal to an irate mortal.

“The Southern Domain battle isn’t over; why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is your identity exposed, and you’re trying to escape?!”

Ming Yue gritted her teeth, glaring at Li Hao.

She had heard about the various deeds of the Sinful Immortal and viewed Li Hao, inheriting their mantle, as the same kind of sinner.
