The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 637 The Celestial Realm is About to Open, A Gathering of Heroes

A century has passed; time flies like an arrow.

Now, Li Hao is three hundred years old.

Even a short decade or so in this world is vivid in my memory, let alone a hundred years, filled with laughter and companionship.

"century……"

"It was so short."

Li Hao muttered to himself as a notification popped up in front of him, but he ignored it.

"Senior Brother Haotian, don't be sad. We died fighting the ancient demons, which can be considered a worthy death, as we made a contribution to the human race."

Kuqiao said softly, looking at the boy with extremely tender eyes.

He didn't say he had no regrets about dying because they did have regrets, namely, that they hadn't been able to go any further and reach the ultimate realm of immortals and gods.

Among the immortals and gods of the world, who doesn't yearn to catch a glimpse of the supreme realm of emperors?

But dust to dust, ashes to ashes, buried on the frontier, it will ultimately be difficult to continue the struggle.

Snowflakes fluttered down from above, filling the courtyard with a desolate atmosphere, draping over everyone's shoulders and heads, adding to the sense of bleakness.

But when Li Hao heard Ku Qiao's words, he laughed. As he laughed, the petals transformed into bright red spider lilies, exquisite flowers that grew on the earth of the underworld.

"Though I have the will to defy time, I lack the power to do so. One day, if I can trace back to the source of that time, I will surely guide you all out of that battlefield!"

Li Hao said softly.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ku Qiao and the others exchanged bewildered glances. The surrounding snow had already transformed into a sea of ​​bright red flowers, with petals fluttering in the wind. The biting cold wind in the courtyard had also turned into a spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers, swirling the petals upwards toward the heavens, chasing after the light of the sun and moon.

"Then we thank Senior Brother Haotian!"

Kuqiao and the others all bowed deeply.

Li Hao didn't say anything more. The surrounding scenery changed, and the figures of Ku Qiao and the others gradually blurred. As they were about to disappear, they all raised their hands and waved goodbye to Li Hao.

Those sounds also reached the boy's ears on the wind.

"Farewell, Senior Brother Haotian..."

"Senior Brother Haotian, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am..."

"Senior Brother Haotian..."

As time passed and changed, the scenery in the painting also changed. Only Li Hao and Shi Miao, who stood quietly beside him, seemed to be the only ones who could remain still in this chaotic space-time.

"Your essence of time... has already caught up with my current form."

Shi Miao said softly.

Li Hao looked at her, his eyes suddenly filled with pity. He stepped forward, took her hand, and said, "Seeing those things that have passed away and cannot be brought back, you must have been in a lot of pain, right?"

Shi Miao remained silent. Only she, born from the chaotic Time Tree, knew how terrible a curse time was.

The most desperate moment is when you can see the past and the future, but you are powerless to change them.

"But in those countless moments of broken despair, you were always there."

Shi Miao also gripped Li Hao's hand tightly. Only she knew that Li Hao was her salvation in her desperate situation.

Li Hao nodded slightly, "I will always be here, always."

He squeezed Shi Miao's hand tightly, as if to brand her with a mark.

The two looked into each other's eyes, as if their souls were drawn closer at that moment, and nothing could be said.

After a long time.

Shi Miao said softly, "With your current Time Origin Realm, I can rest assured when you go to the Endless Heaven Domain. No one in the Immortal Lord Realm should be your match or pose a threat to you."

Thinking of the previous hints and combining them with the many insights in his mind, Li Hao already knew what was going on.

Upon opening the panel in the mind's eye, the previous prompt was seen.

[You have grasped the essence of painting, achieving a state of mind that transcends time.]

[Painting skill level increased to thirteenth dan]

Li Hao saw that a thirteenth-level Dao Heart of Painting Realm had appeared in his mind.

As long as he inlays it and adds a little skill point, he can be promoted to the Immortal King realm!
However, the Endless Heavenly Domain will open in another hundred years, so Li Hao will naturally not improve at this time.

"If I break through to the realm and become a king with a heart that defies time, then my realm will be a realm that defies time!"

Li Hao's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. The Reverse Time Realm, as the name suggests, can reverse time and space, but the scope of reversal is limited. Previously, when Ku Qiao and Han Ku were in the painting, they reversed time and called out their past souls, which allowed them to have that moment of genuine emotion, rather than Li Hao using the painting to control them.

However, with just that wisp of soul power, Li Hao could only reverse time to several decades ago. If he wanted to completely and truly reverse the entire spacetime, making everything flow backward, the sun and moon reverse, and the rivers flow backward, he could only reverse time for a few to ten years at most. And this was limited in scope and the consumption was extremely terrifying.

"With the power of the Reverse Time Domain, it is naturally superior to Kuqiao and the others. After all, it is based on time. Even if it were the Other Shore or the Unbreakable One, if they were to reverse back to before the domain was formed, causing the mountains and rivers of their domain to reverse and the sea of ​​life to regress, their sea of ​​life might even dry up..."

"But this doesn't seem to be the strongest realm yet."

Li Hao thought of his senior brothers and sisters; as direct disciples, their realms must be extraordinary.

It's unlikely that they can visit the realm like they did with the Bitter Bridge and the others. After all, they are all direct disciples with similar status. The realm is the core, like dissecting one's heart and exposing it. Even close relatives would find it difficult to do this, let alone others.

"If it's just about understanding the general methods, it shouldn't be a problem."

Li Hao pondered to himself, after all, this could be felt through combat and sparring.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent messages to his senior brothers Long Qingge and Lei Jingfeng.

Soon, upon learning of Li Hao's idea, the two avatars arrived outside Li Hao's courtyard.

"You want to know what methods we use to control our realm?"

Long Qingge's eyes were full of dragon's might. He looked at Li Hao calmly, but he had a domineering aura of looking down on him. However, his aura towards Li Hao was extremely gentle.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded, "Please enlighten me, my two senior brothers."

"Junior Brother, you're not trying to break through to the Immortal King realm, are you? You've only refined 21 Chaos Laws. It's too early. You should use this time to continue improving your Chaos Laws," Lei Jingfeng said, worried that Li Hao would become an Immortal King ahead of time and miss this greatest opportunity in the Primordial True Realm.

"Just for information, to use as a reference," Li Hao said vaguely.

Lei Jingfeng noticed Li Hao's ambiguity and frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it. Li Hao already knew about the Endless Heaven Domain, and if he insisted on going his own way, his master would stop him. Besides, he also felt that Li Hao wasn't that stupid; there might be another reason.

"My realm can use world-destroying chaotic lightning to suppress everything, cleave space, sever time, and forge the sharpest sword with supreme divine lightning!"

Lei Jingfeng said.

Long Qingge also said, "My realm, with the body of the primordial dragon coiled at the source of time, overlooks everything. Powers such as time and space will be bound before my realm!"

Li Hao was stunned. Both of their realms could withstand the test of time?

“Fate is at play, time reigns supreme. Since your realms are not centered on time, how can you sever time?” Li Hao couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"This is the wonder of spiritual practice."

Long Qingge laughed and said, "Before the Immortal King Realm, the power one controls all abides by the Nine Orders of Respect under the Heavenly Dao. Mastering the origin of the Nine Orders makes one invincible among those of the same realm!"

"But the Immortal King realm is different. The kings of the Immortal King realm are kings who establish themselves as kings!"

"This Kingly Path is the Great Path that I have created and chosen by pouring my understanding of the power of the Nine Orders and the power of all Paths into it, including my own bloodline, combat experience, and Dao heart. This Path has strengths and weaknesses. The weaker ones are not even as strong as the power of the Nine Orders, while the stronger ones are derived from the Nine Orders but surpass the Nine Orders. It is just that the Kingly Path that I have conferred is the core!" "That's right."

Lei Jingfeng nodded, "My Thunder Dao can sever time. It combines the Nine Orders, but the Nine Orders are only an aid."

"I see."

Li Hao suddenly realized what was happening.

Utilize the Nine Orders to transcend the Nine Orders!
At that moment, he suddenly remembered what his master had said.

The Dao Source Immortal Seal represents the return of all paths to oneness; however, the choice of which "one" to represent is up to oneself.

"Thank you both, senior brothers."

Li Hao raised his hand and bowed deeply.

Seeing that Li Hao had answered their questions, the two smiled and asked him if he needed any further assistance. When Li Hao said no, they both left.

"They're right."

After the two left, Shi Miao spoke, saying, "The state of mind you chose earlier, that 'one,' was the desire to reverse time and space to revive them, so you instinctively chose to be one."

"So, if I were to use reverse time as my boundary, I might not be a match for my two senior brothers."

Li Hao smiled wryly.

Shi Miao shook her head and said, "What they mean by severing time and space may not include your power. Since you have been crowned King of Reversal of Time, this is your own path to kingship. What they have severed is the time origin of other Immortal Kings, not yours. Just like Han Ku and Ku Qiao before, their realms also have the power of time, which they can easily sever. But yours is a pure Reversal of Time realm. Reversal of time and time are two different levels!"

Li Hao was slightly taken aback, his eyes brightening as he asked, "And you, what realm do you belong to?"

"I am the Realm of Time."

"Time?"

Li Hao was stunned, never expecting such an ordinary name.

Shi Miao seemed to see through Li Hao's thoughts and said, "You want to reverse time and space, while I want to accelerate time and space, so that I can come to the world where you are faster."

Li Hao's chest tightened, and he was speechless for a moment.

Shi Miao was born 100,000 years ago, while I am 100,000 years later, a long span of 100,000 years.

"I hope that one day I can reverse time and go back to the past to see you as you once were," Li Hao said softly.

Shi Miao smiled and said, "I want to too."

The two exchanged a smile, and Li Hao asked, "How does your Time Realm compare to the realms of my two senior brothers?"

"Stronger."

Shi Miao's answer was extremely brief and to the point, without any further explanation.

Li Hao immediately understood, and thus gained confidence in his Time Reversal Domain.

Suddenly, another question came to his mind: Can there only be one realm?

Can there only be one World Core?

If I were to raise all seven of my skills to the thirteenth level, wouldn't I have seven World Hearts?
Li Hao immediately asked Shi Miao about his guess.

Shi Miao said, "There can only be one realm heart and one realm domain! Many geniuses have had this idea in the past, wanting to condense two realm domains and multiple realm hearts, but if there are too many realm hearts, they will collapse on their own. A realm can be layered, but there can only be one, which is connected to one's own Dao heart."

"If you comprehend the second World Heart, you can try to merge with it. Many prodigies have ascended to the stage of prodigies by merging with the World Heart."

Shi Miao said.

A thought struck Li Hao: Merge?

If the mindset of all seven arts is in harmony, what kind of spiritual realm will be formed?
He didn't know, but suddenly he really wanted to try it.

However, it takes hundreds of years to condense this artistic mindset. If one were to comprehend it all, one's lifespan would probably be over a thousand years!

A thousand years of lifespan is undoubtedly a very distant period for Li Hao.

……

Time passed, and in a certain chaotic star.

In a cave, a figure in green suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze like a thunderbolt, and sword light burst forth.

"23 Chaos Laws!"

"After more than three hundred years, I've finally mastered it!"

"Three hundred years have passed since I came here to seek enlightenment, until I comprehend 69 stars and condense 23 chaotic laws!"

Lin Zhexuan's eyes were full of light. Without a doubt, this achievement would definitely shock the sect. In the Primordial True Realm where geniuses gathered, it was top-level. Among the disciples personally taught by the Immortal Emperor, it was considered average!
"I heard from my master that if I can condense 23 Chaos Laws before the Endless Heaven Domain, I will be allowed to participate in the battle, and my Ninth Senior Sister will take care of me."

"Ninth Senior Sister is an unparalleled genius who has forged 23 Chaos Laws. She has been cultivating here for over two thousand years, waiting for this endless heavenly realm, and has yet to reach the Immortal King realm!"

Lin Zhexuan clenched his fists, his heart filled with excitement. Now, there were still a few years left before reaching the Endless Heaven Domain, but he had already condensed 23 Chaos Laws ahead of time.

He knew what an opportunity the Endless Heavenly Realm was. If he missed it, and had to wait for the next one, it would be a bit of a loss to stay in the Immortal Lord Realm.

After all, with war raging on the northern border, the Lin family needed him to step forward and provide support as soon as possible.

"Three hundred years ago, that guy was still refining 21 Chaos Laws, and he didn't continue the Dojo Challenge. In the past two hundred years, he should have added at least two more Chaos Laws, which would make him just like Ninth Senior Sister..."

Lin Zhexuan frowned, a gloomy feeling washing over him as he thought of that figure.

In the Northern Region, he shone brightly from a young age, but that figure stole and overshadowed all his brilliance in just a few years.

Since that battle between demons and monsters, the Northern Region only knows that the human race has Haotian, but no one talks about Lin Zhexuan anymore!

Now, in the Primordial True Realm, the opponent appeared out of nowhere, attracting the attention of various forces. His cultivation speed has shattered even his will to catch up.

Fortunately, he can now enter the Endless Heavenly Realm.

"Even if we forge 23 Chaos Laws ahead of time, what good will it do? We can only stand there and wait for us to catch up. If only the Endless Heavenly Domain would open a thousand years from now..."

Lin Zhexuan thought to himself, "If that's the case, the other party will stay in the same place and wait for me for a thousand years. At that time, I will definitely be able to catch up and compete with him again!"
……

A pristine land, deep within a mountain range.

With a loud bang, the rocks suddenly shattered, and a figure soared into the air from within.

"Fate has been elusive, preventing me from reaching the pinnacle of my cultivation. Damn it!"

This was a chaotic demon god with prominent horns and a crimson body, its eyes filled with ferocity.

He threw several punches into the air, creating bursts of shattering and annihilation marks before finally venting his anger.

"Fortunately, I have cultivated all other aspects to their fullest potential. I will definitely be number one on this Path to Heaven!"

On another peak.

The young man, clad in dark gold armor, slowly opened his eyes, a ray of dark gold light emanating from them.

"Twenty-three chaotic laws, truly the ultimate. The Heavenly Dao is flawed, and destiny hides itself, alas..."

He sighed softly, then looked into the distance, as if gazing at a distant mountaintop.

"Boy, we'll meet soon. In these two hundred years, you should have forged 23 Chaos Laws by now!"
