Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 1719

Chapter 1719: Chapter 434: Thirty Years of Sun and Moon_3

Since I started cultivating, I haven’t been caught in the rain for a long time. It’s been a while since I felt this way.

“The sound of rain…”

In Li Hao’s eyes, there was suddenly a touch of enlightenment, and the pitter-patter sound in his ears, wasn’t it also a kind of musical rhythm?

“Rain, thunder, clouds… Music is not just about instruments; the essence of music lies in rhythm.”

Li Hao murmured to himself.

The Musical Rhythm Dao, which had reached a bottleneck long ago, broke through at this moment of enlightenment, elevating to the Ninth Stage.

Skill Points increased: 1.

Total: 4 points.

As the Chaos Rain ended, the sky above Extreme Dao Mountain returned to its usual bright and clear state, while the Chaos Rain that fell on the ground had already turned into dense immortal power, greedily absorbed by the disciples on the mountain.

After a massive absorption, disciples from each training field quickly began to sit cross-legged and refine the immortal power.

Li Hao also withdrew his gaze, feeling the many Dao insights of Musical Rhythm flowing into his mind, and couldn’t help but smile.

He raised his hand and summoned a ball of water, wrapping it around the zither strings, and began to play.

The sound produced by the water-covered strings was completely different from before.

Upon hearing Li Hao’s music, Shi Miao was somewhat surprised, feeling that the sound penetrated the heart, extremely pleasant to the ear, evoking a sense of relaxation and peace.

“The crackle of burning wood can also be a captivating melody.”

“The sound of cascading sand, as the grains fall, is also music.”

Li Hao felt that his understanding of music had become broader, no longer confined to instruments.

Ninth Stage of Musical Rhythm, reaching the Tenth Stage, would be considered transcendent and entering the Saint Realm!

“You have advanced to the Immortal Monarch Realm Fourth Level.”

Shi Miao smiled at Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded; the advancement of realms was something he took calmly, without much feeling.

Time passed slowly.

Another three years later, Li Hao’s Poetry and Books Dao also broke through the bottleneck from the Sixth Stage, attaining the Seventh Stage Heart Realm, advancing to the Seventh Stage.

The challenges in the Chaos Dojo continued, but the spectators gradually dwindled. After all, the many disciples who came here didn’t want to waste time watching battles, and the continuous victories year after year also gained Li Hao recognition. Many from the Chaos Ancient Clan begrudgingly acknowledged his fame, despite voicing a few reluctant words.

Due to the hidden rankings, and since Li Hao stopped after melting the nine Chaos Daos, the external world gradually accepted Li Hao’s past performances.

In Li Hao’s tenth year here.

His Poetry and Books also advanced to the Ninth Stage, just like Musical Rhythm, stuck at the Tenth Stage Heart Realm.

The gap between Ninth and Tenth Stage was significant. When Li Hao’s Artistic Path broke through to the Tenth Stage, transcendent and entering the Saint Realm, it triggered great phenomena, marking his entry into the Saint Realm.

Below the Tenth Stage is the mortal realm; the Tenth Stage is saintly.

While Li Hao was comprehending Musical Rhythm, at Sea Cliff in the Chaos Sea, several figures departed one after another, returning to the main hall on the island.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor glanced at the disciples, knowing their Dao Hearts had improved, previously at the mid-end of eternal, now elevated to top-level, no longer disturbed by external matters.

“Go ahead.”

He permitted them to seek enlightenment in the Chaotic Star.

“These ten years, his avatar has always been challenging in that Chaos Dojo, neglecting cultivation, shouldn’t have concerned himself with those people’s provocations; such challenges don’t matter.”

The Ghost Tribe sisters still remained in Sea Cliff, whispering, and Ming Yue was also present, her Dao Heart not yet elevated to top-level eternal, while those sisters from the Su Family had left.

“Hmph!”

Upon hearing this, Ming Yue snorted coldly, “That’s just his nature; back then he even dared to refuse my master’s request, didn’t give any face to the Immortal Emperor, let alone those at the same realm.”

The Ghost Tribe sisters glanced at her, Ghost Ling Yue said, “You still have the mind to think of these things; if you continue staying here, your Sword Heart senior brother is going to leave you behind.”

Hearing this, Ming Yue’s face changed slightly. Her senior brother, Sword Heart, didn’t apprentice with the Chaos Immortal Emperor but with one at a Chaos Immortal City under Green Emperor’s rule.

The Chaos Immortal City was under the watch of the Green Emperor, rumored to be an extraordinarily powerful sword dao Immortal Emperor, which was why Sword Heart apprenticed under him.

She and her senior brother sought different Immortal Emperors as teachers, trying to expand their connections.

“You are staying here too.”

Ming Yue retorted irritably.

“We aren’t personally chosen by the Immortal Emperor; falling behind isn’t disgraceful.” Ghost Ling Yue said calmly.

Ming Yue, enraged, stopped speaking and closed her eyes to meditate, though her anxiety grew.

Time flew by, another decade passed, and the few figures remaining on Sea Cliff also departed one after another, leaving the cliff deserted once more.

On Extreme Dao Mountain, a melodious music echoed within a small courtyard.

“Your melody can actually thicken the surrounding immortal power; it seems it can even draw in immortal power.”

Shi Miao listened, enraptured, greatly amazed at Li Hao’s music.

Although she could gather immortal power easily with a wave of her hand, achieving it purely through music was impossible.

Li Hao smiled, and suddenly, his expression shifted slightly.

“Hmm?”

He sensed an alert from the Chaos Heavenly Dao list within him, somewhat surprised, and upon investigation, found that his Dark Side Avatar had failed.

It turned out that in the ongoing challenges, many with fewer Chaos Dao had been defeated, and now the Dark Side Avatar was challenging an opponent who had fused ten Chaos Daos.

“Lost?”

This was the first defeat for his avatar in twenty years of challenges; looking at the subsequent challengers, he found they were at the level of having fused Chaos Dao, including a monster ranked six thousand on the Chaos Heavenly Dao list.

Li Hao shook his head, unconcerned; losing was losing, after all, the combat experience was gained.

By periodically reviewing the Dark Side’s memories, he could absorb the avatar’s sparring experience. Compared to overwhelming victories, such defeats were more beneficial for pinpointing his own flaws and weaknesses.

“Movement technique wasn’t enough…”

With a glance, Li Hao understood the reason for the loss; if the movement technique had been adequate, the avatar could have fought evenly by burning the Primordial Spirit, but it ended up being outpaced and tired out by the opponent.
