The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 617 The Seventh Personal Disciple, the Law of Chaos

"Your place of guidance is at the Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor's Extreme Dao Mountain. I will come to find you there."

Shi Miao turned to Li Hao and said.

Upon seeing the two cracks, Li Hao immediately knew that they were being teleported to different places.

"Do you want me to pick you up?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

Shi Miao smiled and said, "You don't know the way, but I know the area very well. Just wait for me."

"it is good."

Li Hao thought so too. They exchanged a glance and then stepped out together, entering the rift in the sky.

"Are we going back to Mount Yokomichi?"

As Li Hao stepped into the crack, before he could even properly experience it, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao knew that the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul had awakened. It had only been a short time since Li Hao arrived in the Northern Region, and it had fallen into a deep sleep. Now it had finally woken up.

"Ah."

Li Hao responded in his heart.

The cracks before him twisted and turned, light surged, and countless great paths around him alternated like waves before suddenly disappearing, as if squeezing and ejecting Li Hao.

When Li Hao could see the scene before him clearly, he witnessed an extremely spectacular and awe-inspiring sight.

Ten golden suns burned brightly in the sky, their light intense and their colors dazzling.

A series of meteorite belts, resembling fragments of starlight, refract different lights in the void, presenting a magnificent spectacle.

Before me stood a vast and magnificent fairy mountain, towering majestically amidst the clouds and mist.

Beneath this immortal mountain was a colossal black tortoise. If Li Hao hadn't condensed true divine blood and possessed extremely strong penetrating power of his primordial spirit, he wouldn't have been able to discern any part of the tortoise's body in this primordial true realm. To the naked eye, it would have appeared as a massive black boulder.

As Li Hao was stunned by the scene before him, a shell of an emperor flew out from his chest; it was the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul.

Its body radiated light, and the giant black tortoise seemed to sense this, slightly shifting its body, causing the earth to rumble.

Li Hao immediately felt a terrifying pressure sweeping over him, containing imperial might.

"Let's go."

Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul chuckled, "I've already greeted this little guy, and it remembers you. From now on, you can just fly up the mountain directly."

Li Hao felt the sweeping aura of imperial power and was shocked. It was actually emanating from this giant tortoise.
But there was no malice in this aura. Li Hao asked, "Is this giant tortoise senior a quasi-emperor?"

Is this the cultivation ground of Daoyuan Immortal Emperor, with a quasi-Emperor realm cultivator standing against the mountain?
Li Hao was deeply shocked.

"Ah."

The Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul said, "Unfortunately, it followed the path I once took. The Quasi-Emperor Realm is its limit, and there is no possibility of further improvement."

Li Hao knew that the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul had once been a Celestial Emperor, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He asked, "Why? If it follows the path of its predecessor, shouldn't it also become an Emperor?"

"Times have changed. My path to becoming an emperor is not so easy to open now, and its comprehension is poor."

The Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul shook its head, releasing a power that carried Li Hao toward the immortal mountain atop the black giant.

Its voice was not concealed and reached the area below. The black giant tortoise let out a whimper, seemingly in dissatisfaction. Its voice was clear and loud, like that of a deep-sea whale, echoing between heaven and earth.

Upon hearing the other's voice, the Xuan Turtle Emperor couldn't help but laugh, his voice filled with doting affection:
"Little guy, you're still not convinced? Now that I've brought back a prodigy, if you're not convinced, let's have a contest and see who becomes an emperor first."

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this.

Is this referring to oneself?
The next moment, a terrifying gaze fell upon him.

Although there was no malice intended, the gaze did not conceal its aura, making Li Hao feel a chill run down his spine.

It should be noted that Su Zhenyuan and Lin Daogong and the others were extremely reserved in front of him, concealing their auras. Li Hao even felt that what appeared in front of him might not be their true forms, but rather avatars. Therefore, unless they deliberately displayed their power, they were all quite approachable.

However, the black giant tortoise did not restrain its aura in the slightest. Its mere pressure made Li Hao feel suffocated, as if his chest was trapped in the deep sea, unable to breathe.

Another distant, deep whale-like cry rang out, causing Li Hao's blood and qi to surge.

Xuan Gui Di Po laughed and said, "Alright, then just wait and see. He only has a hundred years of lifespan. Don't let him become an emperor while you're still stuck here carrying this mountain."

Li Hao: "..."

Brother, why don't you just continue sleeping?
Li Hao was covered in cold sweat.

Soon, the snow-white Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul led Li Hao through the barrier outside the Immortal Mountain and into the Immortal Mountain.

In the fairy mountain, fairy trees are everywhere, and exotic flowers and herbs grow, emitting fragrance. In the center, a magnificent and ancient path with steps extends straight to the top of the mountain.

On the mountainside on both sides of the ancient road are various Taoist temples, where many figures sit to meditate and cultivate. Above their heads, there are many mysterious immortal techniques and strange phenomena transformed from the origin of the Great Dao, like projections, constantly being practiced. They are deducing immortal techniques and comprehending the Dao realm.

A dense aura of chaos and a powerful immortal force swept over him from all sides. Li Hao felt his pores open up, and without him having to cultivate, the immortal force seeped into his pores and actively merged into his body.

Previously, in the Su family's Immortal Abode, Li Hao felt that the immortal energy there was already quite abundant, but compared to that place, it was several times more concentrated, and compared to the cultivation grounds of those small families, it was hundreds of times more concentrated.

No wonder top geniuses can be easily incubated here, and countless geniuses are eager to come here. Even the top 100 clans of the True Realm want to get a spot in the Primordial True Realm.

"Let's go."

The Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul said, "Master is already waiting for you at the mountaintop."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor? The peerless figure who had saved him from the brink of death immediately flashed into Li Hao's mind. He felt a surge of excitement and clenched his fist.

Without him, I wouldn't have had these twenty-odd years of life in the northern region.

There was no chance for Shi Miao to wake up.

Following the steps, the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul led Li Hao up the mountain. Meanwhile, in the surrounding dojos, many disciples, awakened from the whispers of the black giant tortoise 'Ancestor Yuanming', widened their eyes as they noticed Li Hao walking straight up the ancient path and the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul leading the way.

"Who is he?"

"That looks like an imperial weapon!"

"With an imperial weapon leading the way, whose prodigy is this? Could he be from the imperial family?!"

Many people were surprised and made guesses.

Li Hao felt many gazes and divine senses directed at him, and naturally turned his head to look around at the disciples in the dojo.

There are true immortals and immortal lords, but most of them are immortal lords, while true immortals are a minority here.

In addition, there were a few figures with powerful auras, all of whom were Immortal Kings, but at this moment they were all very simple and honest, cultivating together with the other disciples in the dojo.

"These are all disciples sent by various races to become apprentices, but their aptitude is too poor to enter the sect. They are considered outer disciples under the master."

The Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul casually introduced to Li Hao: "As for the personal disciples, they all live on the mountaintop and have a noble status. If these outer disciples offend you on ordinary days, you can expel them at will. Of course, if they know that they are your personal disciples, they will definitely not dare to offend you."

Li Hao looked at the disciples in the dojo, who were dressed in rich clothes and had extraordinary auras. The other party's claim of poor aptitude was probably relative to the top geniuses. These people's auras were obviously extraordinary, and they were all geniuses in the same realm.

"Are the Immortal Kings in there also?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"Ah."

Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul nodded, "Here, cultivation level is secondary, status is primary. The status of a personal disciple is the highest. When they see you, they must bow their heads and call you senior brother."

"Senior brother..."

Li Hao felt a little embarrassed. He was only a hundred years old and had just entered the sect. Shouldn't he be the junior brother?
"Among the direct disciples, you are the junior brother, but in front of them, you are naturally the senior brother. What right do they have to call you junior brother? Calling you senior brother is an honor for them!"

Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul seemed to see through Li Hao's thoughts and spoke calmly, but his words were extremely arrogant.

Li Hao was speechless, unsure how to respond.

As he ascended, more and more disciples in the dojos on both sides noticed Li Hao, and some even recognized the identity of the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul.

When they saw Li Hao heading straight for the mountaintop, the disciples in the dojo were immediately in an uproar.

To reach the top, one must either be exceptionally talented or have an extraordinary background; one of the two is essential!

Otherwise, even if someone commits a serious crime and is sentenced to death, they won't have the chance to reach the summit; they will be punished at the foot of the mountain.

Soon, Li Hao arrived at the mountaintop and saw a vast expanse of scenery. It seemed as if the ten golden suns overhead were even more dazzling, but the heat wave that rushed towards him was blocked by some force and could not penetrate down.

Ahead lay a magnificent palace complex, ancient and solemn. Beside it stood seven or eight extraordinary halls, some extremely imposing and resplendent in gold, their roof tiles crafted from celestial materials.

The Xuan Turtle Emperor's Soul guided Li Hao to that magnificent palace.

"Kid, go and become an apprentice."

The Xuan Turtle Emperor's Soul transmitted its voice to Li Hao, and here, its speech became less casual.

As Li Hao entered the main hall, he saw a young man with a full head of silver hair and an exceptionally handsome face sitting upright on the throne, with a chessboard in front of him, making moves on his own.

His black and gold robe exuded a slightly languid yet extremely dignified air, as if every black thread on the robe was of utmost nobility, making him someone no one dared to offend.

Upon seeing his savior from the Southern Region, Li Hao was deeply moved. He opened his mouth slightly, but then stopped, not daring to disturb him rashly.

So he stood quietly in the hall with his hands at his sides, motionless.

A moment later, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor finished placing his piece, then looked up with a faint smile on his face and said:

"You've finally decided to come?"

Li Hao blushed slightly and quickly said, "Senior, I have no way to repay the kindness of the Southern Region!"

"No, your reward will come in time."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "If you can walk your own path to becoming an emperor in this era and still retain your original intention, that will be your reward to me."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao felt a surge of excitement, wishing he could immediately begin cultivating, break through to the King realm, and then explore the supreme Emperor realm.

"You've surprised me quite a bit in just twenty years."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor's gaze swept across Li Hao's body as if piercing through him. Even though he had been guarding the Primordial True Realm for countless years, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes at this moment.

That strange and extraordinary immortal body was something I had never seen before, and those hundreds of drops of true god blood were even more exaggerated.

In such a short time... He suppressed his surprise and looked deeply at Li Hao. Everyone has their own opportunities. He wouldn't explore them, but fortunately, this opportunity fell into the hands of this child, who might be able to make the most of it.

He said calmly, “You are Tianyang’s disciple. Logically speaking, I should not have taken away his inheritance. But it doesn’t matter. I have seen everything Tianyang has done for the Southern Region. You are still his disciple. I can take you as my personal disciple and teach you the Great Dao and cultivation. But you don’t have to call me Master.”

He spoke calmly, but the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul beside him trembled with a silvery-white light, staring at him in disbelief.

To impart the Great Dao without addressing him as Master? This is tantamount to treating Li Hao as a personal disciple for free!
It never expected that its owner would be so tolerant and caring towards Li Hao.

Li Hao was also stunned. He naturally understood what this meant. What did he do to deserve such thoughtful treatment?

"Senior, if you don't mind, I would like to become your disciple!"

Li Hao suddenly knelt down and said, "Immortal Emperor Tianyang is my master. If you don't mind, senior, I would also like to call you master!"

He survived in the Twin Seam Demon Abyss only because of the legacy left behind by the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor. Although he had never met that master, he had benefited greatly from him and could not bear to part with him. The Dao Source Immortal Emperor before him was also a lifesaver, and Li Hao only regretted that he could not repay him.

Seeing the sincere and grateful look in the young prince's eyes, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor remained silent for a moment before speaking:

"If you are willing, that's fine. From now on, you will be my seventh personal disciple."

He said calmly and gently, "You have called me Master all your life, and I will protect you for eternity!"

"Master!"

Li Hao's eyes reddened, as if in the Southern Region, in the desperate situation imposed by the Supreme Being, he had knelt down and kowtowed three times in the void, and now he was bowing deeply once again.

This address of "Master" is not for eternal life, but simply out of my willingness and desire to repay with my sincere heart!

Upon seeing this scene, the Xuan Turtle Emperor's Soul, which had been shocked and tense, relaxed and its eyes softened.

Fortunately, this kid knows how to be grateful. Otherwise, it would feel a little wronged for its master. After all, how many top geniuses in the world yearn to become disciples of Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor? But for this kid, the master not only taught him for free, but also exempted him from the apprenticeship ceremony. This is not a personal disciple, but a son!

Bang bang bang!
Nine heavy thuds echoed through the hall.

A gentle force lifted Li Hao's body up.

"Alright, you've had a hard time in the Northern Region. This is a gift from your master to greet you. I was already prepared to give it to you anyway."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor's expression was calm, but there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes. He pointed his palm, and a ray of light appeared in the void. It was a pure liquid containing supreme energy.

Li Hao stared at the liquid and immediately felt the powerful aura of the Emperor Realm, as well as the Heavenly Dao aura that made people want to kneel down. He was shocked. This aura was a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the Heavenly Dao Essence that Su Jiuzhe had given him. He knew without a doubt that it must be an extremely precious treasure.

"Master, what... what is this?"

Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

He was almost hesitant to accept such a treasure.

I have no way to repay the life-saving grace, how can I accept such a generous gift?

"Owner……"

Beside him, the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul was also shocked and somewhat bewildered.

Other disciples received this gift only after passing numerous tests, yet this young man received it so soon after becoming a disciple?
"This is the blood of Heaven."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor spoke calmly, three simple words, but when put together, they were like thunder piercing the sky, shaking people to their core.

Li Hao was a little confused.

Blood of Heaven?

Even the laws of Heaven bleed?

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said, "Absorbing this blood can help you step into the threshold of the seventh ultimate realm, and you may be able to cultivate to the seventh ultimate realm and achieve eternal immortality!"

Li Hao's heart trembled again. The seventh ultimate realm?

The Heavenly Blood before me could actually help me step into the threshold of the Seventh Ultimate Realm?
What a precious gift this is! He just became a disciple, and he immediately gave me the power to reach the seventh ultimate realm!

The seventh of the eight realms of the human world is the realm of the Three Immortals.

The three realms of immortality are immortal and indestructible, capable of being reborn from a drop of blood!

And the ultimate state, eternal and immortal?

Although Li Hao didn't know how strong the abilities of this Ultimate Realm cultivator were, there was no doubt that no Ultimate Realm cultivator was weak.

Moreover, he himself has not even touched the threshold of the seventh ultimate realm yet, and has not even noticed the direction or trajectory. If he really had to rely on himself to cultivate, who knows when it would take.

Even if he breaks through to the thirteenth or fourteenth level in chess, sculpture, etc., it may not help him much in achieving the final stage of cultivation. After all, the final stage mostly depends on one's own enlightenment and on one's own ability to open that door!
"Master, this, this..."

Li Hao was at a loss for words. Such a treasure was probably incomparable to hundreds or thousands of domain artifacts.

Moreover, the master in front of me had exchanged an imperial weapon with that supreme being in exchange for sending me away from the Southern Region.

"Take it."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and the ball of light radiating supreme aura immediately enveloped Li Hao's body.

Li Hao felt that supreme aura surround him, and his physical body instantly seemed to enter the ultimate realm of immortal transformation. His blood was dispersed and his body extended infinitely.

His body was undergoing a transformation; his primordial spirit and flesh were all metamorphosing and fusing before this supreme power, until they reached a certain profound level.

Numerous fundamental principles of the Great Dao were released from the Dao Source Immortal Seal, flowing between this primordial spirit and flesh.

His Celestial Body was originally a combination of primordial spirit and physical body, and now that it has been further integrated with these Great Dao origins, it seems to have become even more terrifying.

"Feel it fully."

The voice of Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor came.

Li Hao's panicked and unstoppable thoughts were quickly put aside. There was no point in making excuses now; he could only absorb the knowledge wholeheartedly to live up to its potential.

He calmed his mind and focused his attention on his primordial spirit and flesh, slowly sensing the fundamental laws of the Great Dao, gradually integrating and permeating them.

Every drop of blood carries the primordial spirit and divine power, as well as the Daoist rhythms and patterns projected from the origins of the Great Dao.

These runes, like chains of law, are imprinted inside every drop of blood, as if etched into the veins deep within the blood, gradually forming indescribable and mysterious patterns, like array patterns, or like a natural barrier of law.

Li Hao's Daoist heart was extraordinary, and he quickly became completely absorbed in it.

As he felt the fusion of these fundamental principles with his body, he immediately thought of the times when demons sparred, some of whom had their physical bodies destroyed but were still able to revive and return.

For example, the Red Beard and the Black Princess are both like this.

Hei Ji hides her primordial spirit in the shadow of immortal power; wherever there is shadow in the world, that is where she hides.

This is the power of the other party's bloodline.

Bloodline can be inherited. When the imprint deep within the power of bloodline is activated, it is called bloodline awakening!
At this very moment, it seems that Li Hao's bloodline is writing such a mark!
"So this is what a top-tier bloodline is... The seventh ultimate realm, eternal immortality, is the pinnacle of a great clan's inheritance..."

Li Hao suddenly realized and was shocked. Didn't this mean that his bloodline would also be inherited?

"Physical body, divine blood, primordial spirit... When everything is destroyed, there are still laws, there is still the origin of the Great Dao..."

Li Hao was immersed in it, and he seemed to gradually understand why the seventh final realm was called eternal and immortal.

He couldn't even think of a way to completely kill him!

But... even the Immortal Emperor perished in the ancient war against the demons, which shows that the supreme realm possesses even more extraordinary power!
A long time, a long time.

When Li Hao's thoughts returned, he immediately felt that his body had changed. He felt an extraordinary lightness all over his body, as if he were in harmony with heaven and earth, and with the origin of the Great Dao in the world, without any weight.

"how?"

The voice of Daoyuan Immortal Emperor came.

Li Hao came to his senses and felt that his Celestial Body had become even more terrifying, but he didn't know exactly how much it had improved, though it was definitely not as powerful as before.

"I think I touched it..."

Li Hao said that he felt he had not yet truly entered that final realm.

But he had already felt and touched it.

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "It's good that you can touch it. When you comprehend what the 'Life Core' is, you will have truly stepped into it."

"Life Core?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered. These two words were like a ray of light, flashing through his thoughts, and he vaguely understood something.

When the primordial spirit, physical body, and the origin of the Great Dao are completely integrated, one can be reborn from any point, and it will no longer be merely a matter of "rebirth through a drop of blood".

If you are omnipresent, then where is your true self?
Perhaps, the "life core" that Master spoke of was where my true self was at that time.

"My Jidao Mountain has many disciples, all of whom have been accumulated over countless years and sent here by various clans through their connections."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor's voice slowly came: "If you have some talent and can cultivate into a strong person, I am happy to teach you, but I only have seven personal disciples, including you."

"Of your other six senior brothers and sisters, three of them have already reached the Quasi-Emperor realm."

"Quasi Emperor?"

Li Hao was startled, somewhat taken aback and shocked.

Three Quasi-Emperor Realm cultivators were actually my fellow disciples... my senior brothers and sisters?
"The other three entered the sect a little later. Two of them are at the Immortal King realm, and only one, like you, is at the Immortal Lord realm. However, he has already reached the perfection of the Immortal Lord realm and has also condensed the Chaos Law, and is trying to break through to a higher Chaos Law realm."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said.

Li Hao secretly clicked his tongue in amazement; all his senior brothers and sisters were incredibly capable.

The weakest among them is at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, and they have even condensed the Chaos Law. You must know that I haven't even touched the shadow of the Chaos Law yet.

So, does that mean I'm the weakest among your disciples?
Seeing Li Hao's astonished expression, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor smiled and said, "You don't need to worry. With your talent, you will catch up with them quickly. In less than a thousand years, you should be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with your sixth senior sister."

Beside him, the Xuan Turtle Emperor Soul was astonished. His master actually thought highly of this young man?

Although it knew that Li Hao was an unparalleled genius, which disciple who could be accepted as a disciple of the master would be bad?

That sixth senior sister is also a top-tier prodigy who has condensed the Dao Source Immortal Seal!

But the master actually said that the other party would be caught up by this boy a thousand years later?

Xuan Gui Di Po looked at Li Hao suspiciously. The difference in their realms was one thing, but condensing the Chaos Law was extremely difficult. Even top geniuses would be overwhelmed with the task. Moreover, that person would not wait in place. His progress was so rapid that it was impossible to catch up in a thousand years.

"hope so."

Seeing that his master had such high expectations of him, Li Hao could only smile wryly.

He neither underestimates himself nor overestimates himself, nor does he become arrogant.

"The Primordial True Realm offers the greatest boost to the Immortal Lord realm!"

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said to Li Hao, "Do you know the origin of the Primordial True Realm? In the beginning of chaos, the first world between heaven and earth was this Primordial True Realm!"

"Many primordial chaos principles remain in the Primordial True Realm. These primordial chaos principles are the condensation of many other principles. Comprehending one of them is better than comprehending a hundred!"

"But it is extremely difficult to comprehend it. Here are sixty-nine chaotic stars, which are the primordial chaotic stones from the beginning of chaos!"

Li Hao listened carefully; these must be the places that countless people truly seek and yearn for in the Primordial Realm.

"On each of those sixty-nine chaotic stars, there is its own Great Dao of Chaos!"

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said, "The purpose of coming to the Primordial True Realm is to ascend to the Chaos Star, directly comprehend the Great Dao of Chaos, and then master the Laws of Chaos, sweeping across the same realm. Your sixth senior sister is comprehending there, as are the personal disciples and geniuses under the other Great Emperors, including those who advanced and obtained quotas in the Southern Region Battle."

"These sixty-nine chaotic stars have almost fused all the myriad paths of the world into them, containing a total of 23 chaotic laws. Comprehending just one of them is enough to sweep through the Immortal Lord realm and suppress millions of people!"
