Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 1731

Capítulo 1731: Chapter 439: World Heart

The small courtyard returned to tranquility once again. Among the seven Artistic Skills, Li Hao chose the Artistic Path as the primary focus for his conquest.

Previously achieving sanctification and becoming an Immortal Lord was through breakthroughs in the Artistic Path Heart Realm, and Li Hao planned to continue with this path as his first Artistic Skill to break through to the thirteenth stage.

Moreover, the Artistic Path can be studied independently with high efficiency without other requirements, unlike Carving, which needs wood, Fishing which requires a fishing ground, and even Cooking, which needs ingredient combinations.

Although having a strong presence or extraordinary phenomenon as a subject could enhance experience and insight faster, in Extreme Dao Mountain, such subjects were not lacking for Li Hao.

Li Hao visited his teacher, hoping to let him be his painting subject. He thought he would have to persuade him, but the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor merely waved his hand and left three words: do as you wish.

Seeing this, besides being overjoyed, Li Hao didn’t hesitate and started sketching the posture of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor in the main hall every day.

With the Eye of the Painting Realm, he scrutinized his teacher, becoming more and more astonished with what he saw.

This rare opportunity to closely observe an Immortal Emperor was truly scarce. After all, an Immortal Emperor cannot be directly looked at, and the direct disciples of other Immortal Emperors wouldn’t dare to gaze upon their teacher for long as it’s considered highly disrespectful.

Under such depiction, Li Hao became increasingly aware of the terrifying and profound nature of the Immortal Emperor.

The many Chaos Laws scattered like hair on his body, releasing automatically with his breath. Besides the power of Chaos Laws, there was also a surrounding, obscure supreme power. That power seemingly like a Dao Domain, yet a thousand times more terrifying. Each fragment contained countless laws within, like feathers intricately woven with laws.

“With my current state, I can only glimpse a shadow of the domain…”

Li Hao thought inwardly.

Months of continuous painting only elevated Li Hao’s Artistic Path Experience to the perfection of the twelfth stage.

This was largely due to Su Jiuzhe’s Ancestor, who was willing to be his painting subject earlier, accumulating nearly half of the experience.

Otherwise, just one Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be enough to fill his Artistic Path experience. After all, repeating the painting would constantly reduce the experience gained.

“When reaching the thirteenth stage, accumulating full experience, I wonder how many paintings it would take.”

Li Hao felt that as the state increased, even gaining experience had become somewhat of a problem, let alone comprehending the state of mind.

“Are you entering Dao through painting?”

While Li Hao kept painting repetitively, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor casually spoke as he quietly placed a chess piece.

Li Hao, startled, came to his senses but didn’t hide it, respectfully replying, “Yes.”

“An ingenious thought.”

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor nodded slightly but didn’t stop him. Instead, he said, “All things in this world can enter Dao, be it Nine Orders or Dao Origin. Having comprehended the Tao Origin Immortal Seal yourself, you should understand that all things in the world originate from one, Tao gives birth to one, and one gives birth to all things!”

“As for how to choose this ‘one,’ it depends on your innate talent.”

Li Hao’s heart shook as he instantly grasped his teacher’s meaning.

The Tao gives birth to one, and this ‘one’ can be Sword Dao, it can be time, and similarly, it can be painting, it can be carving, or even the rocks and rivers on the road surface.

All things return to the origin point, and where the origin point lies is not important. What’s important is how to extend from the origin point and how to glimpse the patterns of the ten thousand Dao.

The Artistic Path encompasses Nine Sequences Origin, such as time, space, and earth, but within the Nine Sequences Origin, if one condenses a certain Dao to the utmost level, it can also serve as the ‘one.’

“Thank you for your guidance, teacher.”

Li Hao expressed his gratitude consecutively.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor shook his head, “This doesn’t count as guidance. You are now at the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm, having refined 21 Chaos Laws. Moreover, you have mastered Primordial Spirit Final Realm and condensed True God Blood. If you unleash your full strength, even those who have refined 23 Chaos Laws may not suppress you!”

“Within the Immortal Monarch Realm, you are now among the top powerhouses.”

“Your current comprehension is to prepare for a breakthrough to the King Realm, isn’t it?”

Li Hao was caught off guard, but he knew nothing could be concealed from his teacher. He nodded, “Yes.”

“Before entering the Endless Heavenly Domain, don’t break through.”

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor advised, “These mere two hundred years, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t have to worry, as breaking through to the King Realm isn’t an easy task. But when it comes to you, it’s hard to say. If you approach a bottleneck, be careful not to truly condense a realm. Wait until you gain Heavenly Dao Power before establishing a Foundation Establishment Domain, then you can step into the superior level of the Immortal King Realm in one go.”

“Disciple understands.”

Li Hao nodded.

“Do you know the difference between the Immortal King Realm and the Immortal Monarch Realm?” asked the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor.

Li Hao didn’t know entirely, pondering, “The True Immortal Realm wields immortal power and Tao Origin, the Immortal Monarch Realm controls laws and truth, and the Immortal King Realm controls realm power.”

“What is a realm?” asked the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor.

Li Hao thought of other Immortal Kings he had seen before, whose realm power displayed was extremely formidable, vast and magnificent, like a real world!

To put it explicitly, it’s an enhanced version of the Dao Domain, even amplified over ten thousand times!

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor’s indifferent gaze seemed to penetrate everything, seeing through what Li Hao was pondering, he slowly said:

“A realm lies in the realm, not the domain!”

“What is a realm? It has unity and stability, encompassing the Nine Sequences Origin, the laws of ten thousand Dao, and this is just the foundation of a realm. Moreover, one must condense a World Heart; only by comprehending the World Heart can one master the realm!”

“And everyone’s comprehension of the World Heart is different, making each realm unique!”

“Some are Divine Demon Realms, some are All Living Creatures Realms, some Chaos Realms…”

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor continued slowly, “If you want to comprehend it, you can go downhill and ask those Immortal King Realm Outer Sect disciples to let you observe properly. Watching your teacher is like a mayfly watching the moon, hard to see the whole picture.”
