The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 638 Everyone Arrives
At the summit of Jidao Mountain, in a magnificent and luxurious villa.

"Only three years left..."

"The Endless Heavenly Realm is about to open. In these three hundred years, my Chaos Laws have been refined from three to eleven, which is comparable to what Junior Brother Haotian did when he first entered the sect..."

Wearing a noble dark gold dress, Di Ling Shu frowned. She hadn't expected that she would have to rely on that junior brother who had joined the sect later on this trip to the Endless Heaven Domain.

"I have been cultivating in the Primordial True Realm for over seven hundred years. At present, the speed of refining the Chaos Law is one every forty years on average. The more I refine, the slower the speed becomes. After refining 20 Chaos Laws, it may take more than a hundred years to make progress."

Thinking of her junior brother Haotian's exaggerated cultivation speed, she couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.

She was extremely confident in her sect, but in the past three hundred years, she suddenly realized that she was not a top genius. Besides her senior brother and her monstrous second senior brother, there was also a monster like her junior brother Haotian.

"Back in the past, I spent 200 years comprehending 69 chaotic stars, and 100 years condensing those 69 stars into 23 chaotic laws. In total, it only took me 300 years. Now..."

Di Ling Shu sighed and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

"In these three hundred years, Junior Brother Haotian should have already refined 23 Chaos Laws. In three hundred years of cultivation, I have only just condensed 23, while Junior Brother has already refined 23 and crossed a major realm..."

"At this moment, I wonder what preparations Junior Brother Haotian is making?"

She raised her eyes and peered over the courtyard wall, wanting to see what was inside the small fenced courtyard.

……

"Boom~"

The melodious strains of the zither resonated in the courtyard, accompanied by the fragrant aroma of meat and bursts of laughter.

Your skills are getting better and better.

Shi Miao held the ancient demon's flesh and blood, sat down by Li Hao's zither stand, and ate while smiling and talking, her lips and teeth covered in oil.

Li Hao smiled slightly, and the sound of the zither lingered from his fingertips. The surrounding immortal power condensed into graceful fairy phantoms that danced before the strings.

"A single sound can set the heavens and earth in motion."

Li Hao murmured softly.

After breaking through to the thirteenth level of the Painting Realm, Li Hao began to cultivate music.

The courtyard is small, so there's no opportunity for fishing. Sculpting would be too self-absorbed, and once absorbed, he would forget the fleeting moments around him. Only the company of music allows him to perceive the world around him while contemplating enlightenment.

After a century of playing, his musical experience had been accumulating. During another moment of enlightenment, Li Hao was so engrossed in it that he felt his thoughts merge with the Great Dao. When he came to his senses, Shi Miao told him that sixty years had passed, which made Li Hao secretly gasp in astonishment.

He had long heard that the higher one's realm, the more time one could spend comprehending it, sometimes spanning thousands of years in the blink of an eye. He never imagined it was true.

I was lost in thought for a moment, and before I knew it, sixty years had passed.

That moment of enlightenment didn't lead him to a breakthrough or a complete understanding of the musical rhythm and its essence, but it brought him very close.

As his fingertips stopped, the graceful fairy phantoms before him bowed and paid their respects to Li Hao, before dissipating like quicksand into ethereal mist before the strings of the zither.

"Thirteen different states of mind, truly difficult."

Li Hao thought to himself, "After a hundred years of comprehension, I still haven't been able to break through to the first level. You know, in the previous decades, I had already raised the level of my other skills from the first level to the twelfth level, and that was for multiple skills!"
The gap between the twelfth and thirteenth sections was like an insurmountable chasm, and Li Hao felt the enormous watershed between them.

"Your music has already begun to influence space and time."

Shi Miao said to Li Hao.

When she played the music earlier, in addition to the fairy power transforming into a dancing girl, the spacetime in the courtyard also rippled and trembled, sometimes calm and sometimes turbulent, sometimes like a sudden rainstorm, and sometimes like a slow and still mountain stream. She had a very deep control over time, so she also had a very deep feeling for Li Hao's music.

In the event of battle, the music played by Li Hao would be enough to transform into terrifying immortal techniques to fight the enemy.

"The painting's realm defies time, the music's melody... what kind of heart should guide this path?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered; he had not yet found the core of the musical realm.

Although it was just the final step, it was extremely crucial.

Time flies in the small courtyard.

In the blink of an eye, three years have quietly passed.

For a Celestial Lord, three short years pass in the blink of an eye.

At the summit of Jidao Mountain, within the palace.

Li Hao and Senior Sister Di Ling Shu came to their master's presence. In addition to them, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters such as Gu Mo Fan and Di Wu She also appeared here in their avatars.

"Junior brother, it's been three hundred years. You must have already fused together 23 Chaos Laws by now, right?"

As soon as they appeared, they asked Li Hao with a smile.

Three hundred years ago, Li Hao amazed the entire Primordial True Realm when he first arrived at his sect. Now, three hundred years later, he must have already reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord realm.

"Well……"

Li Hao scratched his head. He hadn't added any points to the sixth level of the Chaos Dao yet, and he was worried that the Chaos Immortal Emperor would notice, or that the Primordial Immortal Emperor would also discover it. Therefore, he chose to hold back and planned to go to the Endless Heaven Domain to further improve.

Therefore, his Chaos Law is still only at the level of refining 21 Daos.

Seeing Li Hao's ambiguity, the others smiled and didn't delve into it, taking it as Li Hao's modesty. After all, two hundred years ago, Li Hao had already forged 21 Chaos Laws. Even though cultivation became more difficult as time went on, with Li Hao's talent, two hundred years would have been enough for him to forge two more.

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor glanced at Li Hao, and this glance made Li Hao feel as if he had been seen through. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seemed that he had not been able to hide his situation from his master. The other party probably knew about his current level of Chaos Fusion Law.

But Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor merely glanced at it and said nothing, only calmly stating:

"The Endless Heavenly Realm is about to open. You two, along with the other outer disciples, will travel to the Endless Heavenly Realm. It is a place of opportunity, but also a place of death. No one can help you there, not even your master!"

Upon hearing his words, Li Hao and Di Ling Shu exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Even the Celestial Emperor couldn't intervene, which shows how terrifying that place is.

"Success makes one a king, failure makes one perish; since ancient times, life and death have been separated by a single thought."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor slowly said, "The Endless Heavenly Domain was once the birthplace of the Heavenly Dao and the place where the Heavenly Dao resided. Since the ancient times, the Heavenly Dao disappeared, and the Heavenly Domain collapsed, turning into countless fragments, which contain the power of the Heavenly Dao. The more Heavenly Dao power you accumulate, the greater your influence on the domain will be."

"Furthermore, in the Endless Heavenly Realm, there is another path to heaven!"

"That path to heaven, I've heard, leads to the place where the Heavenly Dao slumbers, and one can glimpse its true form!"

"Now that the Heavenly Way has returned, the will of Heaven can be reaffirmed. If you truly have the ability to ascend to the highest point, you may indeed have the opportunity to see the Heavenly Way!"

Both Li Hao and Di Ling Shu had a glint in their eyes, along with intense curiosity.

What would the Heavenly Dao, the supreme being that all things cultivate and worship, look like?
"But reaching the summit is just a possibility. With the level of your cultivation and the amount of Heavenly Dao power you can accumulate, it is almost impossible for you to reach the summit."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor changed the subject, saying, "There's no need to force this matter. Just listen to it as a legend. If you really have the opportunity, then go as high as you can on the road to heaven and leave your name here. Perhaps when you prove the Dao of Heaven in the future, you will be favored by the Heavenly Dao because of this."

"To leave one's name on the road to heaven?"

Li Hao and Di Ling Shu exchanged a glance. Di Ling Shu's eyes lit up, and she clenched her slender fingers.

The Path to Heaven is said to be a place where the Heavenly Dao passes through. If one can leave one's name on that path, wouldn't one's name be seen by the Heavenly Dao?

What a supreme honor that is! Just thinking about it makes one's heart tremble with excitement.

“In the endless heavens, the laws are chaotic and the environment changes constantly, so I have no geomantic map to give you.”

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor slowly said, "In addition, the domain artifacts and imperial artifacts there will also be rejected. Even if the artifacts are sealed with special secret power, once they are revealed and unsealed inside, they can only be used for ten breaths!"

"This special secret technique can only seal three domain artifacts for you to carry with you at most. Once you exceed that, the domain artifacts will no longer be able to be concealed and will all be repelled."

"Here are 20 domain artifacts sealed with secret power. Each of you may choose three: some for offense, some for defense, and some for escape."

He raised his hand, and 20 domain artifacts flew out of the palace, all shimmering with divine light of the domain, but they were surrounded by chains of black aura that kept circling around them.

Li Hao's eyes narrowed, and he immediately understood that the choice of this domain artifact was extremely important.

Even the strongest Immortal Lord is no match for a Domain Artifact inside. This is a means of survival and killing enemies, equivalent to three trump cards.

But everyone has three cards, so it's up to them to figure out how to hide them.

Suddenly, Li Hao had a thought. If his dark avatar could hide from the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, could it also hide from the Endless Heavenly Domain?
Even if you're unsure, why not give it a try?
Li Hao immediately raised his hand and summoned his dark clone. "Hmm?"

Gu Mofan and the others all looked at Li Hao's dark clone, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Li Hao had summoned the clone.

"Master."

Li Hao cupped his hands and said, "This is an avatar created by the special cultivation method of this disciple. It can avoid the backlash of the rules of the Chaos Dao Field. I wonder if it can avoid the spying of the Endless Heaven Domain and carry three more domain artifacts for this disciple."

He expressed his thoughts.

Gu Mofan and the others were stunned, and then they couldn't help but ask about Li Hao's situation.

Li Hao also explained the matter of the Chaos Dojo in detail.

After hearing Li Hao's words, everyone except Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor, who remained calm, looked astonished.

"Junior Brother, are you saying that the avatars that fought in the Chaos Arena were all replicas of your avatar?!"

Zhan Qinghuang's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

She had never heard of such a thing before.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded. It wasn't a special secret, and it wouldn't hurt for them to know.

"This……"

The group was somewhat bewildered. Previously, Li Hao had suffered a series of defeats in the Chaos Dojo, and they were worried that it would damage Li Hao's core essence. But it turned out that he was challenging them with his own avatar.

"Then how much power did your original self inherit in this avatar?"

Di Lingshu couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao estimated, "About one-third."

"..."

Gu Mofan and the others were all speechless.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a strange thing. This junior brother really did have a big secret that even their master had never mentioned to them.

"You can give it a try."

At this moment, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao was overjoyed. If he could succeed, he would have six domain artifacts as his trump cards.

"Just tell me what domain artifacts you need. If we don't have enough here, I can seal them off for you at any time."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor raised his hand, and dozens of domain artifacts appeared in the void. However, none of them were sealed with secret power. The divine light of the domain emanated from these domain artifacts, making the hall colorful and dazzling.

"Although you can control these domain artifacts, you are not at the Immortal King level, so you can only unleash a portion of their power."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor admonished.

Li Hao and Di Ling Shu both nodded.

Then, the two each selected a domain artifact.

Li Hao glanced at the list and listened to his master and senior brothers' advice and explanations. He selected six burst-type domain artifacts with single functions, without choosing any for escape or defense.

"Junior brother, even though you have cultivated to the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, it would still be good to have a few things to protect your life."

Lei Jingfeng offered his suggestion with concern.

Li Hao nodded and said, "Senior brother, my domain artifact can release power quickly. Using it to block the opponent's domain artifact is enough to save my life."

His thinking was simple: as long as the domain weapon could withstand the domain weapon, he didn't think he would lose based on his own combat strength.

Moreover, he still has the Chaos Dao that he hasn't added any points to, plus his current eighth level of the Time Origin realm, which is comparable to Shi Miao's realm. Li Hao can hardly imagine how strong an Immortal Lord he would have to encounter to lose.

On the contrary, he was more worried about others running away from him and forming alliances everywhere. Therefore, once provoked, it was best to kill the other party directly. Thus, the burst-type domain weapon would leave others with no chance to escape.

Seeing Li Hao say this, the others didn't try to persuade him any further. After all, they knew best how many cards they had up their sleeves and what suited them best.

After Li Hao and Di Ling Shu finished selecting the domain artifacts, Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor led the two to gather at Ji Dao Mountain. Outside on the mountaintop, two hundred disciples arrived, all at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, their auras profound and restrained.

“They will accompany you both, but you may get separated in the endless heavens, so don’t worry about it.”

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said.

Immediately, he raised his hand and unleashed thousands of domain artifacts, soaring above the summit of the Extreme Dao Mountain.

These domain artifacts were all shrouded in black light and sealed by secret power.

Each person may choose one item.

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the two hundred outer disciples were overjoyed and excited, and they all thanked their master in unison.

Before long, they had each selected their preferred domain artifacts.

"Mo Fan, take them to cross the Boundary Mountain."

Dao Yuan Immortal Emperor waved his hand and said.

Gu Mofan nodded, flew over to Li Hao and Di Lingshu's side, and said, "Let's go."

Di Wushe and Zhan Qinghuang stood high in the sky outside the hall and said to the two of them, "Junior brother and sister, take care on your journey!"

Li Hao and Di Ling Shu waved goodbye to them and then followed their senior brother, followed by two hundred outer disciples, setting off in a grand procession.

Crossing the boundary mountain is also a gathering place.

The three Immortal Emperors from the Primordial True Realm, several Chaos Immortal Cities, and many geniuses from the ancient Chaos Clan all took flight from various places to attend this crucial and prosperous opportunity.

The prodigies compete, like countless true dragons flowing against the current of the great river of heaven and earth, rushing towards this most prestigious place.

"It's so lively."

Outside the Fenjie Mountain, among a group of figures, Lin Zhexuan, dressed in a green robe, stood with seven or eight other figures beside him, including Su Muqing and Su Wanyi. On his other side was another woman in green with an outstanding figure, her silver hair flowing, her face like a peach blossom, yet carrying a hint of coldness and murderous intent.

"Junior brother, where is Haotian that you mentioned?"

The woman in green looked up and scanned the area, then asked.

Lin Zhexuan looked around but didn't see anyone. Suddenly, his eyes swept towards the distance, where a dark shadow was rushing towards them.

He stared intently, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "There he is!"

Upon hearing his words, the four sisters beside him, including Su Muqing and Su Wanqing, also turned to look.

On the other side, Di Linchen also turned his head to look, his calm eyes suddenly brightening, revealing a hint of anticipation.

Since their parting in the Southern Regions, he has yet to see this friend with whom he once shared drinks. He wonders if, after hundreds of years, the other party still remembers him.

"he came."

The ghost sisters' eyes also flickered. Three hundred years had passed, and the two sisters were slightly inferior in aptitude. They had not yet condensed all 23 Chaos Laws, let alone forged a Chaos Law.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhexuan and Di Linchen, who were from the same sect, had already reached the stage of refining laws.

Lin Zhexuan's progress is extremely rapid. It is said that he condensed 23 laws several years ago, and not long ago, he fused another chaotic law and entered the fusion stage.

"It's him……"

Su Muqing stared intently, her eyes seemingly flickering with light and shadow. The events of the Su family's short ten years, the image of her sitting alone day after day outside the closed palace doors, flashed rapidly before her eyes, and she bit her lip slightly.
