The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 509 The Charm of Jiuxu

"Senior, I still don't know what to call you?"

Li Hao asked before leaving.

The old man said: "I am the first sacred tree of the origin of the Golden Dao. I have no name or surname. You can also call me Mr. Jin."

"Mr. Jin..." Li Hao muttered, it was really a simple and unpretentious title.

He bowed slightly, said goodbye to Mr. Jin, and then turned and headed towards the towering Origin City.

At this time, the five-colored light covered the sky, and the divine light shone. The entire Origin City was filled with a strong aura of the Great Dao. The five origins were revealed, and it seemed that they could be touched at will, making people feel the five origins deeply, and it is possible to have a sudden enlightenment at this time.

Li Hao's eyes swept towards the golden light in the center, with a complicated and unclear look in his eyes.

Mr. Jin once fought against the ancient demons one hundred thousand years ago and protected the entire city. He then voluntarily left the city and gave up his position. When he wanted to come in again, he was stopped instead.

He didn't expect that the greed and selfishness of human nature could also be seen on this original sacred tree.

Shaking his head, Li Hao flew towards the nearest sacred tree that was the origin of the waterway.

Mr. Jin's long-cherished wish was not to return, and he was not allowed to intervene in this matter. With his current state, he was not able to speak for the other party.

The so-called justice is based on strength, otherwise justice can only kneel outside and wait.

As Li Hao arrived, he saw that around the water source sacred tree, there were more than a dozen water practitioners from various dynasties, including geniuses from the Heavenly Palace.

Li Hao's arrival did not attract anyone's attention, but Li Hao saw a familiar figure climbing up the sacred tree that was the origin of the waterway and rushing towards the top of the sacred tree. It was Boya Xuejian.

However, beside Boya Xuejian, there were two other figures, also flowing upstream along a waterfall outside the trunk of the sacred tree.

The water of the waterfall continued to fall, but Li Hao could see that it was not a real waterfall, but the power of the Tao exerted by the origin of the waterway, most likely to test those who were meditating.

"It's those three guys again. This time they might be able to touch the fruit of the sacred tree!"

"We can't help it. Their comprehension of waterways is far beyond ours. I'm afraid they are at the fourth or even fifth level!"

"As long as I can live in a tree, I am content."

"It's worthless."

Under the tree, some people from the same Immortal Dynasty were communicating in low voices.

When Li Hao heard their words, his eyes changed slightly. The fourth level, the fifth level?
The origin of the Dao that he has currently reached the fourth level only contains the origin of space and the golden origin that he has just comprehended.

As for the other avenues, some are double-level and some are triple-level.

Li Hao looked at Boya Xuejian. Based on his feeling about the young man, even if the other party's comprehension of waterways has not reached the fifth level, he has most likely touched the threshold of the fifth level.

He suddenly felt a little tense in his heart. With his level of comprehension of the Dao, he was afraid that he might not be able to compete in this spiritual explosion.

Only the Golden Path and the Space Path can he hope to make an impact.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why Boya Xuejian came to the Five Origin City. In terms of the comprehension of the origin of waterways, he was the best in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, and no one in the younger generation could match him. Coming here was the right choice.

It is better to practice well than to practice more.

However, Li Hao has already chosen this path, and his newly condensed Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal has greatly enhanced his combat power. It's just that he has no advantage in the competition for the sacred tree spirit explosion.

Although he had this thought, Li Hao kept in mind that he was just born into this world - since he was already here, he couldn't make this trip in vain.

His figure flashed, and he immediately rushed towards the sacred tree that was the origin of the waterway.

Whoosh!
When he entered the canopy of the sacred tree shrouded in divine light, Li Hao suddenly felt that his body was covered by a hazy water film. Here, he could clearly feel the breath of the origin of the waterway, but his perception of other avenues became vague and weak.

Li Hao understood that this was a test of his understanding of the origin of waterways.

He did not hide, and climbed towards the sacred tree with the origin of the second level waterway.

Li Hao's actions also attracted the attention of others. When they felt the origin of water and his cultivation emanating from Li Hao, they couldn't help but burst into mocking laughter.

"Look, a guy from the real fairyland actually comes here to try his luck."

"You are only at the second level of the Water Dao realm, yet you are already trying to fight for the Spiritual Explosion."

In the glow of the sacred tree, except for Boya Xuejian and the other two, everyone else began to climb the sacred tree and reached the vines. Li Hao had just started to sprint, and even the vines that were raised on the ground were already very high above his head.

Here, the power of Guixu Extreme also lost its channel. Li Hao found that he could not even teleport through space. He could only rely on the origin of the waterway and take advantage of the invisible turbulence in the void. He swam upwards like a fish.

Li Hao's realm of the origin of the waterway was improved through the way of painting. At that time, he also gained insights into the way of space and the way of earth. Perhaps it was because he took into account the origins of the three great ways. The origins of the waterway and the way of earth were only at the second level.

The ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, and comprehending the origin of the second level of the Nine Sequences Great Dao, is already considered a genius, but not yet the best. Reaching the third level is the best, and the fourth level is the ultimate monster.

In this secret realm of origin, geniuses are just a threshold and are the most ordinary. The ability displayed by Li Hao at this time is obviously at the bottom.

"It seems there is no hope."

Li Hao mobilized all his perception of the origin of the waterway and climbed along the countercurrent, but the constantly flushing origin of the waterway kept forcing his body back, and by the time he reached the position of the vine, he had already reached his limit.

Li Hao sighed inwardly and wanted to give up, but just as he was trying to retract his strength, the impact force of the water source around him suddenly receded and weakened like the tide.

Li Hao was stunned and a little surprised. His body suddenly became light.

"this?"

Li Hao looked up and saw that other people were still struggling to fly up, but some of them had flushed faces.

When Li Hao was wondering, a gentle force, like a pulling, like an invisible, gentle hand, lifted up his body and carried him lightly towards the sacred tree.

Soon, vines appeared under his feet, becoming farther and farther away, while his body continued to rise along the vertical countercurrent of the tree trunk.

Seeing this scene, those who had previously mocked and ridiculed Li Hao could not help but open their eyes wide in disbelief.

At this time, Li Hao had surpassed their height, and they could only feel a rich mass of water origin surrounding Li Hao. They could not sense what realm he was in, but it was extremely profound, beyond their level of comprehension.

"what's the situation?"

"That kid from the True Immortal Realm, his Waterway Origin Realm is actually higher than mine?"

"Who is that guy? Where did he come from?!"

Others also noticed Li Hao, some had surprise in their eyes, while others had their eyes slightly fixed.

Li Hao was also confused at this time and had no idea what was going on.

Just as he ascended to the branches and entered the lush leaves of the sacred tree's crown, he suddenly heard a gentle and light voice in his ears, reaching deep into his soul:
"Young man, what's your name?"

Li Hao was slightly startled, and looked up, but saw no one around him. He thought of Mr. Jin, and suddenly he understood something, and his soul responded:
"Are you the sacred tree of the origin of the waterway?"

Perhaps it was because of what Mr. Jin had said that he had a preconceived notion about the situation, so he felt a little strange about the gentle voice.

"good."

The voice of the Divine Tree was extremely gentle. "I haven't seen the Nine Order Immortal Seal for a long time. Do you also want the Divine Tree Dao Fruit? If you can sign a contract with me, I can give you one and let you drink my nectar!"

"honeydew?"

Li Hao was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would actually notice his immortal seal.

"Nine-order origin, the appearance of the emperor, the fruit of the sacred tree should be you. We exist because he built this city in the first place, to bless the world for eternity."

Said the soft voice.

Li Hao was stunned, and suddenly felt that the other party was a little different from what he had imagined.

"What is the purpose of concluding a contract?" Li Hao's soul asked.

"The Heavenly Dao Contract is concluded. When you become an emperor, your soul will appear on me and guard this Origin City for me. I will also provide you with training assistance. The Divine Tree Dao Fruit will only have the greatest effect if you take the first one, but you can drink my Origin Amrita once every ten thousand years. The effect is no worse than the Divine Tree Dao Fruit, but it can continue to bring you enlightenment in the Dao realm."

The sacred tree, the origin of the waterway, transmitted the message.

Li Hao was silent for a while. This approach felt very similar to Mr. Jin's.

At the same time, he also felt the rarity and power of the Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal. Even the Origin Divine Tree was willing to pay advance funding for his potential.

"What if I can't become emperor?" Li Hao asked.

"You are a Ninth Order Immortal Seal, and have the qualifications for the Emperor Realm, but the probability of you actually becoming an Emperor Realm is still very small. It just means that you are barely qualified to step into that threshold. Whether you can step in is unknown. The road in between is too long, and there are many changes. The possibility of dying halfway is even higher!"

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree said: "But only the weak like visible and stable exchanges, because they cannot afford to lose."

"It's just that the most scarce things in this world often carry many uncertainties. For me, this is a risky thing. Maybe the ten Nine Sequence Immortal Seals I meet will all fail to become emperors and die halfway. But if I'm lucky, as long as one of them becomes an emperor, it will be worth it for me to make a hundred times the sacrifice."

Li Hao's heart was shaken, and he immediately felt the charm and terror of the emperor's existence.

But it is also true that the Immortal Emperor is an existence that suppresses an era. He is an invincible myth and represents the peak power that billions of immortals and gods cannot reach or compare with!
"Are you willing?"

The sacred tree of the origin of the waterway said softly.

Mr. Jin's words came to Li Hao's mind. After a little hesitation, he responded, "Yes."

Just now he had understood that only strength could determine right and wrong. Although he now had the Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal and was close to invincible in the same realm, he was still not good enough in front of the Immortal Lord Realm, especially those high-ranking Immortal Lord Realm powerhouses, not to mention that there was the Immortal King Realm above the Immortal Lord Realm, who could crush him with a wave of their hands.

Li Hao estimated that the strength of this Origin Divine Tree was not far behind, even if it was not at the Immortal King level.

When a true immortal discusses right and wrong with the Immortal King, it is like an ant discussing importance with an elephant; it makes no sense.

As Li Hao responded, a gentle force suddenly rose around his body, carrying Li Hao up continuously. In a blink of an eye, he was approaching Boya, Xuejian and the other three who were at the highest point.

The three of them seemed to have noticed the movement behind them and turned around. When Boyaxue saw Li Hao, there was surprise in her eyes.

Li Hao felt a little embarrassed. After all, he took the back door. In terms of the pure waterway origin level, he could not compare with Boya Xuejian.

"A real fairyland?"

The other two sensed Li Hao's breath and their faces changed. How could a mere True Fairyland be catching up with them?
Boya Xuejian stared at Li Hao, then turned around, increased his speed rapidly, and flew upwards.

The other two were quickly left behind by Boya Xuejian, but they were not willing to be outdone. They each burst out with extremely strong water source power, which was also rising steadily.

But as the ascent continued, the sprint of the other two gradually slowed down, and finally they had to stop.

However, Li Hao, under the cover of the Origin Divine Tree, maintained a steady speed and flew upwards neither hurried nor slow.

Soon, Li Hao passed by the other two.

The two men stared at Li Hao's face as if they had seen a ghost, with shock and complexity in their eyes.

Soon, only Li Hao and Boya Xuejian were left on the high ground. They kept climbing and finally reached the depths of the tree canopy.

The divine clouds here are brilliant, and there seems to be a bright blue divine light in front like a pearl.

Li Hao smelled the scent of the fruit of the sacred tree, but his eyes fell on Boya Xuejian in front of him.

It is truly terrifying that the other party can climb here and obtain the origin of the waterway. I am afraid he has really reached the fifth level.

At this moment, the surrounding divine mist suddenly surrounded and enveloped the two of them. Then, all the surrounding branches disappeared. Li Hao felt that he was suddenly transferred to a deep blue world. The surroundings were vast and boundless, with no visible borders.

This is a special space, and in front of him, a woman in a blue skirt is extremely graceful, facing him sideways, with a graceful and beautiful figure. "Congratulations."

A soft voice sounded, and the woman in the blue dress turned around, her cheeks as beautiful as if they were finely carved.

Li Hao then noticed that Boya Xuejian was also beside him. The two looked at each other, and Boya Xuejian's eyes showed a strange look, followed by a strong desire to fight:

"Your understanding of the origin of water is so profound. I have never realized it before."

Li Hao coughed lightly and blushed a little, but did not explain.

"You are the only one I have ever seen in my life who is qualified in the origin of waterways. You are better than me. I hope to have a chance to learn from you before the battle in the South Territory!"

Boya Xuejian directly challenged Li Hao to a fight, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

When Li Hao saw that look, he felt it was very familiar, just like he was seeing a worthy gambler.

He could understand Boya Xuejian's feelings, but he knew that he might not be able to fight against the other party at the moment. After all, the gap between the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal King Realm was too big, and Boya Xuejian was by no means comparable to a genius like Chu Tianzheng.

"You are all outstanding. This is the fruit of the sacred tree bestowed upon you."

At this time, the ignored woman of the origin of the waterway finally couldn't bear it anymore and spoke softly.

At the same time, she waved her hand and two azure Tao fruits appeared, flying towards Li Hao and Boya Xuejian respectively.

Boya Xuejian took a look at it, but did not look too excited. He just raised his hand to take it.

"I hope you can reach the tenth level of divine enlightenment along the way to the origin of the waterway!"

The origin of the waterway said to Boya Xuejian.

Boya Xuejian narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly, then looked at Li Hao and said, "When are you free? Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation level to the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm."

Li Hao didn't expect that Boya Xuejian was also a fighting maniac. He thought that the other party was a person with a calm temperament because of his calm appearance like snow. It turned out that he just looked down on other people.

"This... probably doesn't have much time."

Li Hao declined.

Boya Xuejian frowned slightly, looked at Li Hao deeply, and said: "Then we can only meet at the Southern Region Battle. I hope to fight with you."

Li Hao smiled bitterly, cupped his hands and said to him: "There will be geniuses from all sides by then, enough to make you happy."

"That's different."

Boya Xuejian shook his head and glanced at Li Hao, but said nothing more. He said to the Waterway Origin: "Thank you for the treasure, senior. When I reach the tenth level of the Waterway Origin, I will definitely water your divine body!"

When the Waterway Origin woman heard this, a satisfied and relieved smile appeared on her face. She waved her hand and said, "Then I'll wait for you. You should go practice first. Time is precious here."

Boya Xuejian nodded, and then his figure disappeared like water waves.

After Boya Xuejian left, the woman of the origin of the waterway looked at Li Hao, her eyes brighter than before.

She said softly, "Fortunately, I have a sacred fruit from the tree. Otherwise, I really don't know who to give it to this time. I'm afraid I'll have to let him down."

When Li Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. From what the other party said, he didn't know whether he had high emotional intelligence or he only had one and would really give it to him.

If it is true, then the charm of this Nine Orders Immortal Seal is too great.

"He is a rare water source monster. I can feel the pure water source power in him. His soul also contains the pure water source power. However, it is extremely difficult to reach the emperor realm through a single path..."

The Waterway Origin sighed softly, looked at Li Hao, and said:

"Your Water Dao origin is only at the second level. This divine tree fruit should be able to greatly improve your strength."

Li Hao nodded. Having eaten the Dao fruit from the Golden Dao Divine Tree before, his Golden Dao origin had reached the fourth level.

Now, he believed that the origin of waterway could probably be cultivated to the fourth level.

This is already the ultimate for a true fairyland.

"My second brother and sister don't know about your existence. If they knew, they would probably give you the Dao Fruit. I will inform them now. You just wait here."

Said the sacred tree of the origin of waterways.

Li Hao couldn't help but feel flattered when he heard this.

Does this mean that I don’t have to do anything and just wait here, and they will send the fruit of the sacred tree to me?
If all of them were taken, wouldn't that mean that all of his five origins would be able to reach the fourth level?!
Thinking of this, Li Hao couldn't help but get a little excited. The five origins complement each other. If all of them reach the fourth level, I don't know what kind of wonderful changes will happen, but there is no doubt that the increase in combat power will be huge!

"Now, let's make the contract."

The Divine Tree of the Origin of Waterways said, she raised a finger, as soft and tender as a scallion, and gently touched the void. With the sound of ripples of water, Li Hao felt a vast and profound power surrounding him and touching his soul.

He had an epiphany in his heart, and his soul was gently touched. In an instant, Li Hao felt as if his soul was merging into some extremely soft ocean.

On the opposite side, the sacred tree, the origin of the waterway, also gently closed its eyes.

After a long time, Li Hao felt that extremely soft feeling disappear. He opened his eyes and felt that he seemed to have a faint connection with the Origin Divine Tree in front of him.

"When you take the fruit of the sacred tree, I will give you nectar, and you can practice here."

Said the sacred tree of the origin of waterways.

Li Hao nodded.

At this time, the Waterway Origin Divine Tree glanced at Li Hao and suddenly asked, "Have you been outside the city before?"

Li Hao's eyes tightened, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "That's right."

"So, you have met our eldest brother?"

"Ok?"

When Li Hao heard her name, his eyes moved slightly and he looked at her, but he saw that there was no ruthlessness in the woman's eyes, but melancholy and sadness instead.

"I smell the scent of my elder brother on you. You have eaten the fruit of the sacred tree that he gave you, right? It seems that my elder brother is also very optimistic about you. After all, he is outside the city. If he wants to condense a fruit of the sacred tree, it will take 30,000 years to get one..."

She spoke softly, with a hint of sigh.

Li Hao was a little surprised. From what Mr. Jin said, it seemed that these original sacred trees were already hostile to him and prevented him from entering the city. But now, were they doing this for themselves to see, or was there some other hidden story?
While Li Hao was thinking, the Waterway Origin Divine Tree said, "Did Big Brother tell you about us?"

Li Hao's thoughts turned, and he said, "I haven't said much."

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree was silent for a moment, then said, "Child, I have lived for countless years, met countless people, and seen countless hearts. There is no need for you to lie to me."

Li Hao was slightly startled, pretending to be confused and asked: "Lie?"

"When I mentioned that my elder brother was outside the city, you didn't look surprised at all. It shows that my elder brother has already told you a lot of things. Otherwise, when you first heard that my elder brother was outside the city, wouldn't you have doubts and confusion in your heart?"

The Divine Tree of the Origin of Waterways said, its beautiful blue eyes like the deep ocean, staring at Li Hao.

Li Hao's scalp tightened slightly and felt a little numb. These old guys who had lived for countless years were indeed meticulous.

Although he has been a human for two lifetimes, his soul lifespan combined is only a hundred years. However, some of the geniuses competing in this secret realm of origin may have been reincarnated four or five times and have experienced more than him.

"Mr. Jin did say something." Li Hao could only admit it.

"What did Big Brother say?"

The sacred tree, the origin of the waterway, looked at Li Hao with a glimmer of hope in its eyes.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Jin protected this Origin City 100,000 years ago. He was seriously injured in a battle with an ancient demon and later voluntarily left the Origin City. But after his injuries have healed a little, he wants to come back again..."

Having said that, he glanced at the other person and felt there was no need to continue.

After all, the other party should know better what happened.

When the Waterway Origin Divine Tree heard Li Hao's words, the glimmer of hope in her eyes gradually dimmed. She whispered, "Did Brother tell you that we should stop him from coming in again?"

Li Hao didn't say anything and just gave the default answer.

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree exhaled lightly, smiled, and said, "That's not wrong."

Li Hao was slightly startled and stared at her.

“Big brother nearly lost his soul and his tree species died in order to protect us. Without him, there would be no Five Origin City today.” The Waterway Origin Divine Tree whispered.

Li Hao saw that she looked depressed and had doubts in his eyes. He asked, "Since you know, why?"

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao with a smile on her face. The surroundings seemed to become much brighter. She said softly:
"Brother has been hurt once, he can't get hurt again."

"He protected us one hundred thousand years ago. One hundred thousand years later, it is our turn to protect him. As long as the ancient demon is not destroyed and the immortal emperors fall one after another, there will be a fierce battle sooner or later, and it will affect the Origin City again."

She stared at Li Hao and said, "If Big Brother returns to Benyuan City, he will stay in this city. It's easy to get in, but hard to get out!"

Li Hao was stunned, his expression changed, and he suddenly realized the misunderstanding.

"Brother thinks that we are ungrateful and refuse to let him enter the city again to share the nourishment of Origin City, but we are five brothers and sisters!"

"In this world, apart from the Five Supreme Immortal Emperors who created and nurtured us, we are the closest to each other!"

"Nourishment? Resources? These are nothing. If we cherish them, we can crush the fruit of the sacred tree and bury it under our heels to nourish ourselves."

There seemed to be mist in the eyes of the Waterway Origin Divine Tree, but there was self-mockery on his face.

Li Hao's heart was slightly shaken. He said, "If that's the case, why don't you just tell him directly?"

"tell him?"

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree looked at Li Hao, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said: "Do you have brothers or sisters? Or, do you have parents?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly an indescribable light flashed in his eyes. Several faces emerged in his mind, but soon sank again.

"used to have."

He whispered, but his voice was several degrees deeper than before.

"That's right."

The Waterway Origin Divine Tree did not notice Li Hao's emotional changes, but said to itself: "You should know that if the people you are protecting are in danger, you will also stand up. Big Brother is such a person. If you tell him, he will go into the city again regardless of everything. Even if he doesn't go into the city, he will accompany us to the end and fight to the end!"

She said this with a look of nostalgia in her eyes and a smile reflecting the light on her cheeks.

"That's the kind of person he is."

"so."

The smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes became calm. "We can only treat him like this. When Big Brother told you about it, he must have hated us too. He hated us for being selfish and greedy!"

Li Hao also came back to his senses at this time, but he felt that the blood in his body seemed to be boiling and surging, an indescribable feeling.

He thought of the old voice under the golden tree outside the city, the promise he had made:

If you become an Immortal Emperor, protect this original world!
Separated by a city and a barrier of ten thousand years, they are protecting each other with their hearts!
