Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 1717

Chapter 1717: Chapter 434: Thirty Years of Sun and Moon

Center of the Chaos Sea.

In this celestial island city, an immortal power aura barrier enveloped the outside of the island, while inside, Dao platforms were scattered everywhere, upon which numerous disciples were contemplating and cultivating.

In the main hall, more than a dozen figures sat cross-legged.

If Li Hao were here, he would find that these people were, without a doubt, familiar faces to him.

The three sisters of the Su Family, Lin Zhexuan, the sisters of the Ghost Tribe, and the talents of their tribe, another young man from the Ghost Tribe, as well as Ming Yue, Shen Wuji, and Di Lincen.

“Recently, a young man named Haotian arrived at the Primordial True Realm, causing a great sensation, disturbing your Dao hearts, and preventing you from focusing on cultivation.”

On the grand throne, the imposing figure of the Chaos Immortal Emperor sat majestically, surrounded by sun, moon, and stars, with the Tao revolving around him, as if sitting amidst a vast galaxy, yet also seemingly existent in the time-space of past and future, making it daunting to gaze directly upon him, invoking a sense of worship and awe.

His voice was calm, yet every word was majestic, like the resonance of Tao sounds.

Upon hearing the master’s words, everyone in the hall exchanged glances. The Ghost Tribe sisters knew Ming Yue, Shen Wuji, and the others, all talents of the Southern Domain, but the Su sisters next to them had only recently arrived in the Primordial True Realm to join the master’s sect.

Among them, the talent named Lin Zhexuan, like Di Lincen, had already become a direct disciple.

Although they hadn’t condensed the Tao Origin Immortal Seal, the Chaos Immortal Emperor’s standards for accepting disciples were not that strict.

As for the others, they were candidates for becoming direct disciples. The Chaos Immortal Emperor required them to refine twenty Chaos Laws to apprentice directly and obtain his true teachings!

At this moment, upon hearing the master’s opening words, they realized that they all knew Haotian?

Lin Zhexuan understood the talents of the Su sisters and others, as well as Di Lincen, Ming Yue, and the Ghost Tribe sisters, and found that the difference was not significant. Yet, unexpectedly, they all knew Li Hao.

“Master, his soul life is barely over a hundred years. How could it be so exaggerated? Could he be the reincarnation of an Immortal Emperor, merely using some means to conceal his soul life?!”

Ming Yue asked through clenched teeth among the crowd.

Her master was the Southern Domain Venerable. Learning from the Chaos Immortal Emperor was due to her master’s connections behind, which she herself would have to repay in the future. So, although not entirely under the Chaos Immortal Emperor, she was considered half a disciple of his.

Upon hearing Ming Yue’s words tinged with obvious resentment, Su Muqing and Su Wanqing looked at her, all frowning.

Upon recently joining the sect, they had conversed with this young woman, sensing a deep-seated arrogance, however, she managed to restrain her attitude towards them. But now it seemed she had a significant bias against Li Hao?

Lin Zhexuan glanced at Ming Yue, as she asked what he wanted to ask, but a shadow of gloom flickered in his eyes as he saw Su Muqing frowning.

“Concealing soul life—I’ve heard that only the Reincarnation Stone can achieve this, but it’s in the hands of the Ancient Demon Clan, and is scarcer than an Emperor’s Weapon.”

Shen Wuji remarked.

His feelings towards Li Hao were complex; while initially harboring some fighting spirit, now even that had vanished, leaving only sighs and bitterness.

“Besides that, there is no other explanation.”

Ming Yue insisted firmly.

The hall turned silent. No one spoke, all waiting for their master’s answer.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor appeared calm, saying, “That young man indeed harbors secrets, but he is not a reincarnated Immortal Emperor. He has his opportunities, and you have yours. That young man rose from insignificance, growing from a barren land devoid of immortal power in the decaying Heavenly Calamity Illusion Realm, ascending step by step over just a hundred years to reach where he is today.”

“Since childhood, you’ve all received top-notch nurturing, from immortal power to spiritual medicines, all readily available. When it comes to differences, it is not only in talent and perception, but the Dao heart also makes a significant impact.”

Upon hearing the Master’s words, everyone was stunned.

“Was he born so low?”

Lin Zhexuan looked taken aback. He previously guessed that Li Hao was also a direct disciple of an Immortal Emperor, receiving meticulous care, but he hadn’t expected the master to say Li Hao rose from insignificance.

Ming Yue, as a disciple of the Heavenly Palace, knew some things about Li Hao, aware that he was the direct disciple of the Sinful Immortal Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor. As a direct disciple of an Immortal Emperor, his upbringing shouldn’t have been too poor. Hence, she couldn’t quite believe her master’s words, yet dared not question them, only frowning deeply.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor’s gaze was calm, as deep as the ocean, seeming able to discern the thoughts and minds of each disciple present.

He slowly said, “That young man’s Dao heart is extraordinary, far surpassing yours. If talent can be inferior, then the Dao heart shouldn’t be. From today onwards, you shall pause your comprehension of the Chaotic Star, and all to contemplate your Dao heart at Sea Cliff until it reaches the pinnacle of eternity. Only then will you cultivate, and at that point, you will no longer be swayed by external matters.”

Hearing his words, everyone’s expression changed. The master actually wanted them to cease their cultivation. How could this be?

If so, wouldn’t that mean getting further and further behind Haotian?!

They all raised their heads but were met with the calm gaze of the Chaos Immortal Emperor. Instantly, the doubts and many words they had vanished into thin air.

Even with a thousand reluctances in their hearts, they dared not doubt nor refuse.

Su Muqing was taken aback upon hearing the Master’s words, when he mentioned that the young man’s Dao heart far surpassed theirs?

But the other party…

Her gaze became complicated, wanting to confirm with the Master, yet realizing inside that the Master had no reason to deceive them. As an Immortal Emperor, he certainly wouldn’t lie to them.

Thinking of that youth previously at her courtyard, giving up cultivation, merely staying by her side every day… It turned out, his Dao heart wasn’t weak; he just genuinely wanted companionship?
