The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 383: Final Meridian, Lord of the Stars (Guaranteed)
Li Hao's words were already a clear rejection.

But Ying Xiaoxiao was not angry. Li Hao's ability to resist temptation made her feel relieved. In her eyes, this young man was different from others in the world. Fame and wealth seemed not to be able to move him, and it was still the same now.

However, without Li Hao's help, the God Clan will inevitably suffer some losses in this battle.

She was silent for a while, staring at Li Hao and said, "If you don't want to assassinate the origin ancestor, but help my God Clan and stop a few Three Disaster Saints, are you willing?"

"If that's the case, just lure the Three Disaster Saints you want to deal with here. If they continue to cause trouble, I can help you deal with them."

Li Hao said.

Hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao already understood Li Hao's thoughts. He was unwilling to get involved in the dispute between Yuanzu and the God Clan. This move was probably also out of her friendship. Thinking of this, she felt warm in her heart, but also a little ashamed. She said:
"During this catastrophe, the source ancestor will most likely come to invite you. Will you agree to his invitation?"

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "This is your right and wrong. I want to retreat recently and don't want to get involved in these things."

Ying Xiaoxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She also hoped that Li Hao could stay out of this matter. After all, too many members of the tribe had been sacrificed when the ancestor was resurrected.

"I understand. Goodbye. Take care."

Ying Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Li Hao deeply, knowing that this was their farewell, and she didn't know what the scene would be like when they met next time, or maybe there would never be a chance for them to meet again.

After all, as a goddess, she must not give up the fight in this catastrophe. If the ancestor is defeated again, she will also perish with him. However, their clan has been living in disgrace for too long, and they would rather choose a brilliant demise than hide in such a dark and humble way.

Ying Xiaoxiao left. Li Hao looked at the direction she left and could smell a faint floral scent still lingering in the air. This was the smell coming from her clothes.

He was silent for a moment, knowing that this woman carried the mission of her race, but she did not make things difficult for herself when she came to invite him.

"Even saints are not immune to worldly desires. Can you cut off fame, wealth, hatred, and fame?"

Li Hao murmured to himself.

The Emperor Sword appeared from the void. When it heard Li Hao's words, it seemed to understand his mood and responded with a soft humming sound.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze, turned back to the courtyard and continued his retreat and practice.

At the same time, Ying Xiaoxiao also returned to the secret temple of the gods.

"Where is the First Ancestor?"

Ying Xiaoxiao saw many elders and her grandmother in the temple, but did not see the ancestor, so she couldn't help but ask.

"The ancestor went to meet its mount, the Lihuo Zhulong wild beast."

Ying Qingshuang said softly, and then saw that Ying Xiaoxiao's expression seemed a little strange, and said: "Why, didn't Lord Haotian agree, but he is not satisfied with the conditions? Have you told him about the divine realm? Although his talent is extremely high, if he wants to truly reach the level of the source ancestor, or to be comparable to other saints, it is far from enough to rely on talent training alone, and he also needs foundation!"

"This is a rare opportunity for him. If the ancestor is willing to give him those extreme powers, it will be enough to help him enter the realm of God!"

Once one reaches the divine realm, one can ascend to heaven in one step and become an important figure among the saints.

Such a temptation is indeed huge.

Ying Xiaoxiao naturally knew this, but after hearing her grandmother's words, she did not rush to explain. Instead, a trace of bitterness appeared in her eyes, and she whispered:
"Grandmother, if he agrees, will the First Ancestor really give him that ultimate power?"

Hearing this, Ying Qingshuang was stunned.

Before the ancestor was resurrected, she was in charge of the God Clan, so how could her mind be simple? Her face changed slightly and she said, "Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter what the ancestor thinks, it makes sense. You shouldn't question it or think too much!"

As she spoke, her tone became a little stern.

Ying Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable when she saw the stern side of her grandmother who was usually very tolerant and gentle to her. She did not try hard to invite Li Hao, not only because she did not want the young man to get involved in such dangerous disputes, but also because she felt that if the other party really agreed, he would most likely become a pawn.

When the ancestor asked her Daoxin to swear an oath, she vaguely sensed that something was wrong. She was not stupid. On the contrary, she was extremely smart and sensitive about certain things. Because of this, she felt that she could understand the boy's heart.

It was as if she could vaguely see the heart of this ancestor, and it seemed that he was not as kind and gentle as she had heard and imagined in her childhood.

Perhaps, it has been buried for many years, and hatred has distorted it and obscured its original character.

However, as a descendant, she was not willing to speculate too much because of the teachings she received since childhood and the beliefs in her bones.

Ying Xiaoxiao lowered her head, as if accepting her grandmother's reprimand. After a while, she said, "I told him about the Divine Realm. He also knows how difficult it is to cultivate to the Divine Realm. This is a great opportunity, but he doesn't seem to be very interested and doesn't want to get involved in this matter."

Ying Qingshuang frowned, stared at her, and said: "Xiaoxiao, this is a matter of race. I hope you don't get involved in your own children's private affairs. Don't forget that you are the goddess of our race, carrying the mission of the race. The ancestor invited him sincerely. If he agrees, it will only benefit him. Although there are risks, even if the assassination fails and this path is lost, the ancestor will immediately take action to fight with the source ancestor. By then, the source ancestor will have no time to take care of the other party, and he will not be in danger."

When Ying Xiaoxiao heard this, the bitterness in her eyes became even stronger.

She took a deep breath and shook her head, "Grandma, he really doesn't want to."

"You told him that if he agreed, you would marry you to him and unite with my God Clan. In this way, he will be considered the son-in-law of the God Clan in the future. If the God Clan can rule the heavens, he will definitely benefit a lot." Ying Qingshuang said, staring into her eyes seriously.

Ying Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, she turned her head away and said, "I didn't say anything about this."

"Why didn't you say it?" Ying Qingshuang's face changed slightly and she looked a little angry.

"I have only met him a few times. He would not care about such a proposal."

Ying Xiaoxiao said.

"But you are carrying the God Clan. This is a combination of interests. You must know this."

Ying Qingshuang said angrily.

Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip slightly. It was precisely because of the interests involved that she was unwilling to use herself as a bargaining chip and was rejected. She knew that the young man's heart could not be shaken even by the extreme divine realm. Adding one more bargaining chip might not necessarily tip the scales.

Instead, it would make her look cheap in the other person's eyes, which was something she didn't want to do...

"You are confused..."

Seeing her stubbornness, Ying Qingshuang was angry and helpless. She sighed, "I blame myself for being too indulgent towards you in the past and not taking good care of you. This is a major event that our clan has been planning for countless years. How can you act according to your own preferences? You, you let those dead clan elders, your uncle Mo, how can you feel at ease?"

When Ying Xiaoxiao heard her mention Uncle Mo, her heart ached and she lowered her head without saying a word.

At this moment, waves suddenly came from the void of the temple.

Then, a towering figure suddenly stepped out, his whole body seemed to be burning with flames, exuding a majestic aura.

At the same time, another strange aura of destruction emerged, accompanied by a hoarse dragon roar. In addition to the God King, there was also a huge dragon beside him.

This dragon exudes an ancient and wild aura, its eyes seem to be the core of the divine sun, burning with raging flames that make the air distorted, containing fiery laws, its scales are dark red, like extremely strong blood, exuding a bloody and murderous aura.

Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Qingshuang were both familiar with the dragon beast in the mural. It was the first ancestor's former companion in battles, and their descendants called it the Candle Dragon God.

Rumor has it that the Candle Dragon God and the Dragon Saint of the Dragon Ancestor Holy Land were once twin brothers. One escaped into the rivers and seas and became the Dragon Saint, while the other chased the sun and the moon and became the Dragon God!

The Dragon Saint established a holy land to protect the scale insect clans in the world and carve out a place for them in the upper three realms.

The Dragon God followed the God King and fought against the gods. After the death of the God King, he was also banned and disappeared.

"Ancestor!"

When Ying Qingshuang and Ying Xiaoxiao saw the ancestor and the Candle Dragon God, they hurriedly knelt down to pay homage.

Many elders in the hall also looked over and hurriedly bowed respectfully with excited expressions.

Not only did the ancestor come back, but the disappeared Candle Dragon God was also brought back. It seemed that the gods had returned to their most prosperous period, and the mythological era recorded within the tribe was about to come!
The God King's eyes fell on Ying Xiaoxiao and said, "How is the task assigned to you going? Is the other party satisfied with the conditions?"

Ying Xiaoxiao's face changed slightly, and she lowered her head even more. She said, "The other party didn't agree. He said he didn't want to get involved in these things."

"Ok?"

The God King's eyes changed slightly, becoming a little cold and stern: "Have you told him about the God Realm? Does he know what a great opportunity this gift is? It is equivalent to tens of thousands of years of hard work! This is something that cannot be erased by aptitude, and must be accumulated over time!"

Ying Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "I did say that, but the other party has no intention of joining the war and is unwilling to take risks."

"Humph!"

The eyes of the God King flashed with coldness. "I heard that he became a saint before he was 30 years old. He was arrogant because of his extraordinary talent. But I didn't expect that he was just a coward. He didn't even dare to fight for such an opportunity. How ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he said in a cold voice: "He is unwilling to help, and refuses to marry into our clan. In this case, after I pacify Yuanzu, I will go and see this talent myself!"

There was anger and murderous intent in his eyes. If it weren't for the war, he didn't want to make another enemy and would have dealt with this kind of person in advance.

Ying Xiaoxiao heard the murderous intent in the words of the ancestor, her face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Ancestor, it's my fault. I didn't tell him about the marriage. He has no ill will towards my clan. He just doesn't want to be involved in any gossip. I hope you won't blame him."

"Ok?"

When the God King heard this, the cold light in his eyes became even colder, "Are you going against my arrangement?"

He exuded a terrifying and powerful force. Waves of dark fluctuations emerged and terrible pressure enveloped the temple. Many elders were trembling with fear, but there was excitement in their eyes.

The stronger the ancestor, the more excited they are.

Under this pressure, Ying Xiaoxiao felt as if the extreme power in her body was blocked, and her blood vessels were trembling. She looked pale and said:
"Ancestor, I didn't mean to disobey, I just felt that it was useless to ask, I am willing to accept the punishment..."

"Do you think that I won't punish you so severely if a war is imminent?"

The God King's eyes fell on her like a sharp sword, with majesty and coldness in his eyes.

Ying Xiaoxiao bit her lip and said nothing, but Ying Qingshuang, who was kneeling in front of her, said quickly:

"Ancestor, Xiaoxiao was confused for a moment, please forgive her, she didn't mean it. Xiaoxiao has been running around for the God Clan over the years and rescued many elders, which is a great contribution..." Ying Xiaoxiao looked at her grandmother who had just scolded her harshly, but now pleaded for her with a nervous look on her face. She bit her lips even tighter and felt heartbroken.

"Humph!"

The God King snorted coldly, interrupting Ying Qingshuang's words, but when he looked at Ying Xiaoxiao, his coldness faded a little, and he said indifferently:
"Since this boy knows about my God Clan, he got involved in this matter. Do you know if he is unwilling to agree to my God Clan because the Source Ancestor has contacted him in advance? Even if not, if the war breaks out, what if the Source Ancestor invites him to help?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “He said he didn’t want to get involved, and he would refuse Yuan Zu’s invitation.”

"Did he say it himself?"

"Ah."

"ridiculous!"

The God King's eyes became stern, and he said, "Then the Source Ancestor didn't mention any conditions, so he would refuse? If the other party promised to give him more generous conditions and countless incense, would he still refuse?"

Ying Xiaoxiao was a little stunned, but she quickly shook her head and said, "He will refuse."

The God King was so angry when he saw her confident look that he laughed. "You are not him, so how do you know he will refuse? He refused you, maybe not because our request is not attractive enough, but because he thinks our God Clan is weak. After all, the saints of the heavens, headed by Yuanzu, have a strong camp. His unwillingness to help our God Clan does not mean he is unwilling to help Yuanzu!"

Ying Xiaoxiao was silent. The face of the young man, their conversation, their several encounters in the human world, and the laughter in front of the bonfire in the small courtyard reappeared in her mind.

Her eyes became firm again, and she said, "He won't."

"I never thought that a madman would be born in my bloodline."

There was sarcasm in the God King's eyes. Obviously, he found Xiaoxiao's confidence ridiculous. How could human hearts remain unchanged?

In the past, he and Yuanzu had drunk at the same table and were good friends. Later, they broke up and fought to the death. The sincerity they revealed while drinking became a sword that pierced his chest in the future!

Human hearts... He had already seen through them and no longer believed in them!

Rather than believing in so-called emotions, he believes more in the real power in his hands.

Only deterrence and strength can make people surrender more easily.

How many people can help me with my wholehearted tenderness and kindness in the end?
The battle was earth-shattering. Not only was his divine body shattered, but his divine heart was also shattered.

The many saints who used to call him brothers just watched him fall indifferently. From those people's eyes, he saw fear and indifference, but no friendship of the past.

All saints... he must tear those hypocritical faces to pieces!

This is why he wants to come back and seek revenge at all costs!
"Since you believe in him, even more than you believe in me, then I will wait and see. When the war begins, will he stand beside the Source Ancestor? Will he draw his sword against you?"

The God King sneered with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He looked at the kneeling woman. Besides sarcasm, he seemed to see himself in the past, who was also so naive and stupid.

Is this his bloodline? It does seem to be his bloodline, but he is no longer the same person he was before!

Seeing that the ancestor did not punish him, Ying Qingshuang's nervous expression was obviously relieved, but he sighed in his heart.

"Lao Ying, I'm hungry. I've been trapped there for so many years, and my blood has dried up. I need to replenish it..."

At this time, the Lihuo Zhulong next to him spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, but with a bit of hunger, and his eyes fell on Ying Xiaoxiao and others below, and there seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes.

When the God King heard this, he immediately understood what it meant and knew that this old fellow was indeed suffering.

He was silent for a moment, then responded to Qingshuang: "Prepare for a living sacrifice, select a group of semi-saints to help Zhuhuo recover his strength."

Hearing his words, Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned, her face looked grim, and she couldn't help but look up at the Candle Dragon God.

However, the mighty dragon god that she had heard of in her childhood in the mural, who protected her clan and fought against the saints, was now looking straight at her.

She saw greed and hunger in the flames dancing in those eyes.

Ying Qingshuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

She knew that their gods had divine blood and divine power in their bodies. The ancestor and the Candle Dragon God had both cultivated to the ultimate level of unparalleled strength, and needed their same power to recover.

If they were able to sacrifice their lives for this great war, I'm sure many of the tribesmen would be willing to do so.

……

In the Small Thousand Worlds, in the Holy Land of Stealing Heaven.

After Ying Xiaoxiao left, Li Hao returned to the courtyard and continued his daily practice.

In addition to refining his Qi and meridians, he occasionally plays chess with Hongyue, cooks his own food, and studies cooking.

He has already accumulated enough experience in the art of cooking. If he can comprehend the sacred art of cooking, his swordsmanship will be able to break through to the tenth level. Then his swordsmanship will be able to be further improved. At the same time, his Immortal Guidance swordsmanship will be able to be cultivated to the second level, the ultimate realm.

Among the three levels of immortal swordsmanship, to be able to cultivate to the ultimate realm is already one in a billion, a peerless genius, which means that the swordsmanship has truly reached the ultimate sword level as rumored in the world!
Now, he just touched the meaning, which was the shadow of this ultimate sword.

Nevertheless, to the Sword Master who had never seen the true ultimate sword, and in the eyes of Bian Ruxue and others, the Immortal's Guidance he displayed was already the pinnacle of swordsmanship.

Now that it has reached its true extreme, Li Hao is also interested in taking a look.

As for the source of the third level, it is even more terrifying.

As time passed, the amount of Qi condensed in Li Hao's meridians increased, and the power accumulated in his body became heavier and heavier. Every move he made secretly affected the power of the stars in the sky.

Even if he doesn't use the Star Veins of the Heavens, Li Hao can still condense tremendous power in his body at any time, enough to suppress the Three Disasters Saint with one blow.

In a blink of an eye, half a year passed.

The number of meridians in Li Hao's body climbed to 1464.

As the Qi channels condensed, he vaguely felt that these many Qi channels seemed to surround each other, corresponding to all directions of the heavens, forming some kind of formation!
"It seems... it's almost reached its limit."

The more the Qi meridians condensed, the clearer Li Hao's feeling became. Now, he felt as if he was only one step away.

This made him feel regretful. He thought he could compare countless stars in the sky, but he didn't expect there was still a limit.

Li Hao chose to make a concerted effort to achieve this final limit.

He wanted to see how the true end would change.

Although he had touched the veins of the stars in the sky before, he was only on the way to the final stage of cultivation and had not yet arrived. But now, he is only one step away from arriving.

Soon, as Li Hao's soul comprehended, a meridian of energy slowly condensed.

As this meridian condensed, the meridians of all the stars in the sky seemed to be activated, like invisible spider silk covering his body from all directions, with thousands of threads corresponding to many directions, completely surrounding his body.

And the newly condensed energy channel seemed to have turned into an eye of the formation, activating the entire star formation.

1465 energy channels underwent transformation and change, and all the stars in the sky seemed to be connected to Li Hao's body at this moment.

Li Hao clearly felt that the power of the stars was flowing, and waves of original power originating from the stars poured into his body.

During this period, some meridians changed.

Among them, seven energy channels seemed to turn into seven dragon bones, extending into his body and supporting his body!
With the support of these seven "dragon bone meridians", he was clearly sitting in the courtyard, but he seemed to be sitting faintly between heaven and earth, and his body seemed to hold up all the stars in the sky, and those seven dragon bone meridians were his core backbone!
In addition to these seven dragon bone meridians, some other meridians have also changed, becoming thick veins, flesh and blood, and a continuous supply of star origin power is being transmitted over, containing terrifying might and a part of the will of the stars!
This will is like a tiny force of heaven.

Li Hao's heart was shaken. According to his understanding in his previous life, the world he lived in should also be a huge star.

But here, this star has the will of heaven, while those stars in the sky are dead silent. At this moment, a faint will is also transmitted from the dead silent stars.

Those wills entrusted the original power of the stars into Li Hao's body and passed it on to him.

At this moment, Li Hao felt like he had become the Lord of All Stars.

These energy meridians that carry the essence of the stars turn into star veins, and there are 28 of them!
Li Hao thought of the constellations in the Astronomical Observatory of the Divine Dynasty and said there were three spheres, four symbols and twenty-eight constellations.

Now, it seems to correspond exactly to the number of meridians in his body.

"These 28 star veins correspond to the power of 28 constellations. This power is enough to rival that of the Supreme Saint!"

"And the seven dragon bone energy veins can respond to the stars in the sky at any time..."

Li Hao felt that if this second final state was fully activated, the special state he would enter would be extremely terrifying.

By then, he will be able to transform into a star lord and mobilize the power of the stars in the sky. If the Supreme Saint does not rely on the Daojie Emperor's soldiers, Li Hao feels that he can fight with him and even remain undefeated!

Even though he was just a new saint who had just passed the human tribulation, he already had the capital to fight against the supreme saint.

However, in addition to his cultivation, the Supreme Saint also has a terrifying background. Li Hao has never come into contact with the power of the Six Tribulations Emperor's Soldiers, so he is not very sure about it.

He still needs to become stronger to truly make up for the accumulation of these long years.

Li Hao carefully felt the power in his body and the vast power of the stars. This power was beyond the reach of all saints. The changes brought about by the second final realm, in addition to the vast and infinite power, also included a great improvement in strength.

But this also means that Li Hao's Zhoutian realm has reached its ultimate.

If one has only cultivated to the Zhoutian realm, it is hard to imagine how one can reach this final realm. One can only cultivate to other realms and then come back to cultivate.
