The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 319: Divine Blood Body, Sword God Fights (Two in One)

After chatting more with alchemists like Lin Shanhai these days, Li Hao has a deeper understanding of incense and many things related to saints.

The incense is not something that ordinary people can bear; it requires a great level of Taoism!
During this period of time, his Taoist power has been continuously transformed, filling all the acupoints and major meridians in his body. His Taoist body has reached the level of perfection in the Taoist realm.

After achieving perfection in the realm of Taoism, if one wants to go further, the first thing to do is to accumulate incense.

The power of the incense gathered in Li Hao's body and could not be blocked. It slowly sank in his body and turned into incense-like dust. It accumulated in his body and slowly condensed into a soybean-like particle.

This particle is the prototype of an incense stick.

The power of incense must be accumulated in the body for three incense sticks before one can become a saint!
Now the absorbed incense has only condensed into about one tenth of an incense stick in the body.

This was because he had just recently completed his Tao body, and was able to sense and receive the incense. The incense he received was the result of previous sedimentation and accumulation.

Emperor Yu once promised him that he would transfer the incense of Emperor Yu to him in ten years.

Li Hao fled in the void for ten years, and a hundred years passed in the human world.

As the Tao body was perfected, all the incense burners from over ninety years gathered together and condensed into the size of a soybean.

As the previously accumulated incense came all at once, the subsequent incense that arrived was not as overwhelming as before, but it was still a continuous stream every day.

Li Hao did not expect that the power of incense could actually pass through the immortal gate and come from the human world to the land of saints without any hindrance.

It is indeed the power that can make people become saints!

According to the current rate of accumulation, he can become a saint by lying down for three hundred years.

These three hundred years are the years of the saints, but for the human world, they are three thousand years.

Three thousand years of offering incense and worshipping a saint is a relatively fast speed. This is mainly because the Dayu Divine Dynasty has a large population and is a medium-sized dynasty in the entire Donghuang.

If it were the small foreign countries around Dayu, it might take seven or eight thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years, before they could believe in a saint.

This is also the reason why there have been no saints in foreign and small countries since ancient times.

After all, it is almost impossible to worship only one person for seven or eight thousand years.

Changes in power, court struggles, natural disasters and man-made disasters can all lead to a breakdown in faith.

Absorbing the incense that wafts in every day, Li Hao couldn't help but miss the human world.

Incense was extremely precious, but Emperor Yu did not break his promise.

Even for saints, the more incense, the better, so saints will preach and gather faith.

Li Hao can now use the incense he has absorbed. He only needs to ignite it with his divine consciousness, but it will be gone after burning. For people below the level of a saint, this is a method that will only be used in desperate situations.

Usually, forcing people to fight by burning incense will lead to a mortal feud.

After becoming a saint, the three incense sticks will last forever. Even when lit, they are shrouded in the holy way, which is endless, like the boiling steam in a closed boiler, circulating back and forth.

That is the time when you can truly mobilize the power of incense to fight at will. Before that, it can only be accumulated but not used.

Now with the perfection of his Tao body, Li Hao's physical body has been condensed to an extremely terrifying degree. He hears the Tao through his physical body; his bones, blood, fists and feet are his Tao, and he can resist the magical powers of the Tao by himself.

But hearing the truth through the physical body also has its flaws, which is that Li Hao cannot express the truth in words.

To put it simply, although he has now reached the perfection of the Dao realm, he is not yet...

As it is.

The physical body path is a way of refining the body, which is equivalent to condensing the power of Tao and the laws into one's own body.

If he wants to make his words come true, Li Hao needs to upgrade his control to the ninth level, so that he can call the wind and rain and make rivers flow backwards with a thought.

When his Tao body was perfected, Li Hao discovered that his physical strength did not increase any further.

When he was not exploding with divine power, his normal physical strength was still tens of millions of pounds, with only slight fluctuations. This range seemed to be the limit of his physical body.

Only then did Li Hao realize what the saying "Human power has its limits" meant.

This is no longer a problem that can be solved by cultivation, but a limitation of life itself.

Just like a bottle filled with water, any more will overflow.

The same goes for the physical body. No matter how much you practice or refine your body, it will only give the body different refining effects, but your physical body has already reached the extreme, which is considered "the physical body becoming a god."

“The final stage… The cultivation has come to an end here!”

By doing your utmost, you can achieve perfection in something.

But this is the limit of effort, not the limit of itself. After all, most things in the world cannot be reached even with hard work.

The end is the limit of things themselves. Even if you follow the most perfect route, you will reach the end because there is no way out.

However, although the strength of tens of millions of pounds is fixed under normal circumstances, when combined with the state of divine power, it can still briefly burst out with ten times the strength. Now that the power of Tao is integrated and the Tao body is perfect, if combined with the power of Tao, the power that can be burst out is even more terrifying, and the mountains can be easily shattered and the earth can be torn apart with fists and feet.

The most important thing is that the power of Tao spreads throughout his body, allowing Li Hao to ignore other people's Tao methods and break all methods with force.

However, Li Hao feels that his current perfect Taoist body is not the limit for him.

Perhaps it was because of the divine blood of the final realm, after his Taoist body was perfected, he could continue to absorb and transform Taoist power and integrate it into the divine blood.

The divine blood is like a sponge and can absorb a huge amount of Dao power. This allows him to withstand Dao power transformations far beyond those of other Dao-wen realm beings.

as time flows.

The Taoist power converted in Li Hao's divine blood is increasing, as unfathomable as the abyss of the ocean. His body contains the power of the ultimate realm and also carries Taoist power beyond imagination.

Li Hao realized that practicing the Dao with the physical body might be one of the necessary paths to reach the limit of the Dao-wen realm, or even the final realm.

The limits and final states of each realm of martial arts seem to be connected to each other, assisting and influencing each other. Li Hao can't imagine how terrifying it would be if he could cultivate them all. Even a saint would be far behind.

The ordinary days passed by unknowingly.

Li Hao has become accustomed to life here, going to the same place every day.

These three points are: purifying medicinal materials for Lin Shanhai from time to time, practicing the conversion of his own divine blood and Taoist power, and being alone in the courtyard, painting and sculpting, and immersing himself in perception.

As for that front line, they would occasionally be invited by alchemists from all sides to go and help.

With his cooking and purification skills, Li Hao is favored by alchemists from all sides. In addition, Li Hao does not like to make pills, is harmless to humans and animals, and has no competitive advantage. Instead, he becomes a central figure in the alchemist circle.

If someone has a grudge against someone, they will not meet each other and will look at each other coldly when they meet. But when facing Li Hao, they will greet him with a smile.

This also led to the reputation of Master Qingfeng becoming more and more famous, and even spread to the disciples in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land.

Many disciples also know that there is such a strange person among the alchemists. There is some controversy about who has the best alchemy skills, but there is no dispute about who has the best popularity.

This also made many inner sect geniuses, including some saint sons and saint daughters, want to make friends with Li Hao. Some of them came to him in person, and some sent people to show their goodwill.

After all, if you want to find a senior alchemist to refine some precious medicines, you need to prepare the medicinal materials yourself, and you also need to inform the holy land and get the alchemist's consent.

This often requires giving the alchemist a lot of bribes. If you give too little, you worry that the alchemist will not be dedicated. If your entire furnace of pills is ruined, then all the precious medicinal materials will be wasted, and you won't even be held responsible.

After all, alchemy has a relatively high failure rate, especially for high-level elixirs.

But if we can find Li Hao to help, then it will be a guarantee for alchemy.

Even if he fails, he can only blame his bad luck and will not have any complaints against the alchemist.

Li Hao did not reject the goodwill from these parties. As long as they came with good intentions, he accepted their kindness.

After all, behind these geniuses, there are their own forces, and they are definitely not individuals fighting alone. A genius without background and connections would have been killed in some gutter long ago.

There is no shortage of geniuses in the Land of Saints, but even the geniuses have to bow their heads and rely on the protection and resources of various forces.

These connections are of little help to Li Hao himself, but they may be useful in the future, and he can also ask them to collect illustrations of famous paintings, chess manuals, etc. for him.

In the alchemy courtyard.

Li Hao brought the rare and precious fruits sent by the inner sect’s talented disciples and found Lin Shanhai to share with the old man.

This rare spiritual fruit can nourish the body. For Li Hao, the effect is average. He mainly eats it for the taste. It tastes crispy and has a unique fragrance. It is very delicious.

"Thanks to you, I can enjoy a feast again."

Lin Shanhai smiled. He took out his own collection of tea leaves and made tea for Li Hao. The two chatted while eating spiritual fruits.

These days, the threshold of Li Hao's yard has been trampled upon by many people, and people from all over the world have been visiting one after another. Such a grand scene reminds Lin Shanhai of the grand banquet he held when he first became a high-level alchemist, which was also very lively.

"I am also benefiting from you." Li Hao said with a smile.

When Lin Shanhai heard what Li Hao said, he smiled and felt a little emotional.

It is difficult to tell whether a person’s smile is genuine or fake when he is at his lowest point in life, but only when he reaches the peak of his life and is successful can you see his true nature.

With Li Hao's current network of contacts, they can still do well even without him. As long as Li Hao is willing, other alchemists are happy to make friends with him.

But Li Hao still lived in his place, neither impatient nor anxious. Those who came to visit Li Hao learned about his relationship with Li Hao, and some chose roundabout means, which brought him many benefits.

Li Hao still treated him with the same humility and courtesy as before, but their relationship became closer, and they would occasionally jokingly scold each other. If you called him a bad boy, he would reply with a bad old man.

"Your injuries are almost healed now, what are your plans?"

Lin Shanhai asked Li Hao.

He has lived for thousands of years and has seen many people, but Li Hao is the one person he cannot understand. His understanding refers to his inability to see through Li Hao's desires.

It feels just like Li Hao's name, like the fresh breeze in the world, rising and falling at will. Apart from the leisurely pleasures of painting and sculpting, there seems to be nothing else worthy of his care.

Alchemy and martial arts are things that people pursue, but Li Hao doesn't even look at them.

"If Mr. Lin doesn't mind, I plan to stay here for a while longer. I will consider other things after I create a top-notch painting," said Li Hao.

Although the Land of Saints is very large, he just wants to live in seclusion here for the time being, live in peace for a while, and improve his skills. Then it will be time for him to seek revenge on the Void Saint.

"..."

Lin Shanhai was speechless, staring carefully into Li Hao's eyes, as if trying to see his true thoughts.

But what I saw was just a pair of clear and calm eyes, without the slightest flicker.

Lin Shanhai couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed, "This is the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, a place that countless people dream of entering. If you stay here, with your current status and connections, you can basically get whatever you want!"

"If you want to learn martial arts, as long as you show a little bit of your intention in this regard, those saints, including others, will be happy to open a back door for you, allowing you to directly enter the inner gate and become a disciple of a semi-saint!"

"Even if you have low martial arts talent, those semi-saints should be willing to accept you as a disciple. After all, your current network of contacts is your confidence and foundation."

"If you want to make an elixir, just say a word, and I can give you two of the three high-level elixir recipes I have. I think the others will be happy to exchange with you, too."

He looked at Li Hao and said helplessly: "But you are staying in this precious place, and you just want to paint?"

Li Hao could understand his thoughts and smiled, saying, "There is no rule that you can't paint in the Holy Land, you have to drink in a restaurant, or you have to study hard in an academy. The environment is just the environment, and being affected by the environment is the most boring. The journey of life is long, and I will experience many landscapes, but I am still me."

“But the essence of the environment is that a group of people doing the same thing form an environment.”

Lin Shanhai said: "If you keep passing by on your own, you will seem out of place."

At this point, he wanted to teach Li Hao how to get along with others, but he soon remembered that Li Hao's network of contacts was wider than his, so if anyone really wanted to teach, it should be Li Hao who taught him.

He smiled bitterly. It was strange that he was a maverick, but no one disliked him.

Li Hao smiled and said nothing more. He picked up the teacup and said, "Cheers."

"poor!"

Lin Shanhai was in a bad mood, but his hands were cooperative. He clinked glasses with Li Hao, and they drank at the same time, smacking their lips.

The conversation between the two also fell into the ears of Lin Qingying in the courtyard. She raised her eyes slightly. She had listened to most of the daily communication between the old and the young during this period, and had a deeper understanding of Li Hao.

She couldn't say that she agreed with some of Li Hao's ideas, but she didn't dislike them either. Instead, she even felt a little envious.

Not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy such a carefree life.

However, she has her own way. When she reaches the highest level, becomes a saint, and cultivates her own ultimate swordsmanship, she will be as happy as the other person, right?

Thinking of this, her eyes became brighter and her sword moves became more round and gentle.

……

A few more months passed.

Li Hao's divine blood was finally filled with Dao power, thanks to the tremendous energy within the Sword Ancestor Holy Land. If the energy of heaven and earth in the holy lands is thicker than that of the human world, then the energy within the Sword Ancestor Holy Land is even thicker and purer than outside.

If it were in the mortal world, it might take Li Hao seven or eight years to fill all the divine blood with converted Taoist power.

But here, it can be done in half a year.

Li Hao could also understand why some people in the Wen Dao realm were often over a thousand years old.

In addition to breaking through the realm of enlightenment, cultivation also requires time for daily tempering.

Usually a retreat lasts for more than ten years, or even a half century.

In the Land of Saints, those who are in the Wen Dao realm under the age of one hundred can be called top geniuses, those under the age of three hundred are still considered the young generation, and those over a thousand are considered old guys.

As for those that are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, they are old monsters.

These people are either in the Wen Dao realm with mediocre qualifications, having reached that level through years of hard work, or they have already become saints.

The age limit for this Sword God battle is also under three hundred years old.

After more than three hundred years, the basic potential will be almost exhausted, and the dust of time will be attracted, which will make the mind and character tarnished and the progress will be slower.

Now, as all the divine blood has been integrated into the Taoist power, Li Hao has also condensed a divine blood Taoist body, which he feels should be stronger than an ordinary Taoist body.

Most of the geniuses in the Wen Dao realm have their own Dao bodies, such as the sword bone Dao body, Dao heart Dao body and so on.

Some people are born with sword bones, which grow along with their practice. When they reach the realm of hearing the Tao, they can transform the power of the Tao into the sword bones. This means that they have one more place to carry the power of the Tao than other people. Naturally, the strength of their power of the Tao is self-evident.

Moreover, the sword bone carries the power of Tao, forming a sword bone Taoist body, making the attack even more terrifying.

With the completion of his Divine Blood Dao Body, Li Hao thought that he could reach the limit of the Wen Dao Realm, but in fact he did not. It was just equivalent to him condensing a Dao Body.

However, to reach the ultimate state of hearing the Dao, it seemed that other methods were needed. Li Hao guessed that he might have to wait until he reached the ninth level of controlling the Dao before he could hope to reach it.

After all, the realm of Wen Dao, where one cannot speak and act accordingly, cannot be considered the limit.

After cultivating the Divine Blood Body, Li Hao's mind shifted to painting, and he devoted more effort to painting and studying.

And in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, the Sword God War finally begins.

As the Sword God War truly began, the entire Sword Ancestor Holy Land became boiling and hot.

For those ordinary disciples, although they don't have much chance to participate, seeing those usually unattainable geniuses fighting each other will be of great help to their practice and can give them insights.

"Kid, are you ready?"

In the alchemy courtyard, Lin Shanhai looked at Lin Qingying, who was dressed in green, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Although he knew that his granddaughter was very outstanding, the other saints were not simple characters either, and would definitely cause bloody storms.

Lin Qingying's expression was relatively calm, as indifferent as ever, but her bright eyes were deep. Years of practice had prepared her for this moment.

"Qingfeng, let's go with Qingying to take a look, and by the way, let you see how those top geniuses fight."

Lin Shanhai greeted Li Hao.

I hope that I can let Li Hao see the charm of the competition among the top geniuses, so that Li Hao can pay more attention to martial arts. No matter what one's aptitude is, it is always right to practice martial arts.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded but did not refuse.

After all, in this battle, the geniuses from all sides will display various skills, and it is also a good opportunity to collect top skills.

After this wave of collections is completed, if there is a chance, he will see if he can use his connections to go to the Sword Tower in the Holy Land and take a look at the holy land's skills.

After all, his Dao domain still needs a lot of skills to fill it before it can be opened up to more levels.
