[Poetry and Book Experience +18928]
With the increase of Poetry and Book Experience, Li Hao’s Poetry and Books Dao progressed from the fifth stage to the sixth stage.
“Void, the beginning of all things…”
[Poetry and Book Experience +16823]
Li Hao murmured to himself, pondering over Lin Qingyue’s Sword Dao, the No Sword Dao.
His initial understanding of this Sword Dao was superficial, but now he felt an integration and thorough understanding.
With a raise of his hand, Sword Qi gathered in Li Hao’s palm, spiraling like a vortex, wrapping around in great numbers, forming a miniature Sword Qi hurricane.
But as Dao Thoughts gradually flowed in, the hurricane-like Sword Qi began to dissipate, expanding from a tiny storm to cover the entire sky.
With a flick of Sword Qi, one can cut through a gentle breeze.
Wielding heaven and earth, one can sever the sun, moon, and all things!
With no sword in hand, no sword in the heart, the world itself is the sword, yet is also not the sword.
Li Hao had an epiphany, grasping the true essence of the No Sword at this moment, and with this sword alone, he seemed to transcend, capable of touching the bottleneck of the Sacrificial Dao!
This was the Sword Dao that Li Hao transmitted to Lin Qingyue, not his own, yet the true essence of this Sword Dao was also integrated into his Only Me Swordsmanship, enhancing its power even beyond its former state.
As Li Hao’s thoughts converged, the grand Dao’s presence that surrounded him began to compress, draping over him like clouds or falling leaves, making him seem as if seated in the midst of a starry universe, at the center of heaven and earth, radiating majesty and grandeur.
Feng Boping saw the clarity return to Li Hao’s eyes and stepped forward with a smile:
“I see you’ve had an epiphany, has your Saint Path had a breakthrough?”
“Mmm.”
Li Hao nodded, that Daoist Scripture expressing all the insights in his heart, combined with his own realization of the Saint Path. At this moment, his Saint Path was refined to a terrifying degree, even touching the traces of the Heavenly Dao!
Though he had not faced the tribulations, his Saint Path had become self-sufficient, and in terms of the Saint Path alone, it was even more formidable than his current physical body!
“It’s also time to settle accounts with that Buddha sect and the Void Saint.”
Li Hao declared.
Upon hearing this, Feng Boping pondered and said, “Let’s not rush. Your Saint Path has just stabilized. You should continue to cultivate further. Besides, in the Buddha sect and the Void Holy Land, apart from them, there are other Saints. The Buddha sect’s Green Lamp Buddha is immeasurable and certainly will not stand idly by as you slay a Buddha Venerate. The Void Saint’s master, that old fellow, is not dead either. I almost fell into his hands before.”
“Retreating to their Holy Lands, they can mobilize all the forces within to strengthen themselves, and within their realm, they are invincible. Even if we hope to defeat them, it would be very difficult to kill them!”
Li Hao’s eyes shimmered. Although Feng knew his Saint Path had improved, he did not know to what extent it had advanced.
Now, Li Hao was confident that except for the Supreme Saint, if he encountered the Buddha Venerate and the Void Saint again, he could assuredly slay them and destroy their Saint Paths along with them.
However…
Li Hao recalled their previous escapes using movement techniques with special Divine Skills that surpassed the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm. If the opponent truly wished to flee, it might indeed be impossible to kill them.
His movement technique was a weakness, and during previous confrontations, he had covered up this shortcoming by utilizing the Extreme Realm. In the Mortal World Extreme Realm, he could reach the peak, so even if his movement technique was weaker than those at the same level, he could easily kill them, unable to escape his grasp.
But as All Saints possess Extreme Realms, the flaw in his movement technique was now completely exposed.
Seeing Li Hao silently pondering, Feng Boping continued, “In half a year, it will be the grand assembly for Saints to discuss Dao, where All Heavens Saints will attend. The Pride of Heaven Battle is merely a festivity for the younger generation, but the assembly for discussing Dao among Saints is the truly impactful event that affects the All Heavens!”
“The assembly for discussing Dao among Saints?”
Li Hao expressed his puzzled inquiry.
Feng Boping nodded: “Yes, in addition to discussions among the Saints, this grand event also pertains to the division of All Heavens Sacred Land, the struggle for Incense Fire, and so on, which are related to shifts in the All Heavens’ power structure! Therefore, All Heavens Saints will attend, overseen by the Supreme Saint. If there is any dispute among Supreme Saints, it will also be settled at the assembly. Moreover, the Source Ancestor will give the keynote and conduct Divine Teachings for the Saints!”
Divine Teachings for the Saints!
This is why Saints are revered by countless beings, passing on the Dao to all people, making it accessible to all creatures for enlightenment.
Yet the Source Ancestor’s teachings can bring enlightenment to all Saints. The Source Ancestor maintains such high prestige and connections because many Saints have received his grace and guidance!
As the most ancient of Saints, no one can truly see through the depth of the Source Ancestor’s foundation.
Once, a Supreme Saint engaged in a Dao discussion with the Source Ancestor and was easily suppressed, almost causing the destruction of his Saint Path, falling out of the Supreme Saint level. That battle cemented the Source Ancestor’s supreme status.
“So, Feng’s idea is to deal with them at the Dao discussing assembly?”
Li Hao pondered.
Feng Boping nodded and said, “They were driven off by you and must be laying traps and preparing for your arrival back at their home turf. Attacking there is unfavorable for us. During the assembly, they will surely also participate. If they really don’t dare to come, it’s not too late for us to go to their Sacred Lands then!”
Li Hao pondered for a moment; Feng’s course of action was indeed more prudent.
While he was fully confident in his own abilities, the weakness in his movement technique meant that an immediate attack might not guarantee their demise.
Moreover, if the opposition had additional support, perhaps employing treasures to call a Supreme Saint for help, it could also pose a danger.
The more desperate the backlash at death’s door, the more brutal it becomes. He too had to be cautious and not underestimate his opponents.
“That’s fine. I still have many issues to resolve in my cultivation, and this occasion is good to sort them all out in one go,”
Li Hao said.
Feng Boping, seeing that Li Hao was persuaded, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Good, you’ve become a Saint, and there’s no need to rush this moment. If we don’t go after them, it’s they who should be uneasy in their sleep, after all, they don’t know when we might strike.”
Li Hao smiled and then inquired, “Feng, after passing the Three Calamities, how does one cultivate to become a Supreme Saint? What exactly is the difference between a Supreme Saint and a Saint?”
