Could it be that Qingqing married someone incompetent, unable to enter the Great Wilderness Heaven?
After several people finished their telepathic conversation, Ji Tian Chao looked towards Li Hao and suddenly asked, “How many Extreme Realms have you unlocked?”
At this remark, everyone was startled and looked at Ji Tian Chao with puzzlement, but they soon realized something and turned their gazes towards the young man.
If it had not been for Ji, who had used the Holy Bone, they might still not have been able to see the young man’s Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation; the young man had been hiding his true ability until the last moment, and they suspected that he might have other hidden cards up his sleeve.
Although such a probability was extremely low, somewhat exaggerated…
Li Hao looked at this elder who had stepped forward to defend him, slightly surprised. Such a question was a bit impertinent, after all, it concerned martial arts matters, which were secret.
But seeing the expectant look in the other’s eyes, it seemed not just an inquiry. After thinking for a moment, he conveyed through telepathy, “Four.”
Although Ji Tian Chao had his suspicions, his heart still shook when he knew Li Hao was not lying.
He had already discerned that Li Hao might possess not just the three types shown, but also a fourth, which was the Land Immortal Realm!
Others, seeing Li Hao remain silent but noticing Ji Tian Chao’s suddenly excited eyes, immediately realized that the two had communicated telepathically.
Ji Tian Chao took a deep breath and smiled at Li Hao, “Don’t worry, in the Ji Family, no one can harm you unless they step over my dead body!”
He stated this with a firm and decisive tone.
Mere consideration for returning his brother safely would already bind him to protect this grandson-at-law to the fullest, not to mention that Li Hao had now shown peerless talent.
The others quickly telepathically asked Ji Tian Chao, but he did not respond and only said to Li Hao, “Our Ji Family has an Extreme Tao Stele, go and try it. It’s said that if one can ignite four Extreme Tao Steles, they will receive a Sage’s inheritance!”
Ji Yun Yue and others felt a shock in their hearts, now knowing the answer.
Standing outside the training ground, Ji Qingyuan’s face also showed a slight change as he fixed his gaze on the young man.
“A Sage’s inheritance?”
Li Hao questioned with curiosity.
Ji Tian Chao nodded slightly, his voice carrying a hint of excitement, “Yes, child, you must try, it’s a tremendous opportunity!”
Seeing him so earnest and serious, Li Hao thought for a moment and asked, “Will it affect my leaving the Ji Family?”
“…”
Ji Tian Chao faltered for a moment. Was this child so determined to leave the Ji Family?
He recalled his third brother’s words, that crossing the Mo River was possible because of unburdened freedom.
He sighed inwardly, fortunately, the Mo River existed because of his brother’s obsession, and similar obstacles should no longer exist in the future, leaving a concern for the young man would not affect anything.
Besides, once Qingqing returns, maybe the child would change his mind.
Ji Tian Chao said, “It basically won’t affect it.”
“That’s right, just go and try first,” Ji Daoxin also immediately persuaded.
Seeing them say so, Li Hao thought for a moment and then agreed.
The conversation among them spread, and everyone heard that the young man was going to test the Extreme Tao Stele for his martial arts Extreme Realm; they were all somewhat surprised.
Ji Daoxin did not dawdle and immediately led Li Hao away; the Extreme Tao Stele was not far from Tian Dao Mountain, located on a steep slope resembling a halved bridge, with eight antique, pitch-black stone steles standing tall.
“This is the Extreme Tao Stele. You just need to exert your ultimate state in each realm and then strike the stele; the Taoist charm on it will capture and detect it,” Ji Daoxin said gently to Li Hao.
Li Hao glanced at it and nodded.
“From low to high, in ascending order, are the Eight Realms, extending all the way to the Four Stands Realm!” Ji Daoxin explained.
Li Hao felt a stir in his heart. The Four Stands Realm also has an extreme state?
Wondering what that might be like, he regretted that he had not yet entered the Four Stands Realm.
Although the Merit Treasure Vault offered Tao Hearts for exchange, Li Hao found out after visiting that the Tao Hearts were incredibly expensive, and also, they only had a distinction between Profound and Yellow Levels.
The Yellow Level Tao Heart cost twenty thousand merits, and the Profound Level fifty thousand merits.
Indeed, from the introduction to the Tao Hearts in the Merit Treasure Vault, Li Hao learned that Tao Hearts also vary. It’s just that becoming a practitioner of the Four Stands Realm was already extremely rare in Dayu Divine Dynasty, so there was no comparison of quality, only strength was used to assess superiority.
A Tao Heart is like a soul manifestation; the vast majority of Tao Hearts are of the Yellow Level, and few are of the Profound Level. Pursuing eternal life or leaving a name through the ages are considered goals of a far-reaching Tao Heart, and after solidification, they are among the strongest in the Tao Heart Realm.
More common Tao Hearts might include extending the lineage of a family or upholding kindness and propriety.
The variety of Tao Hearts in the library is not too plentiful, Li Hao didn’t find one that suited him, so he chose not to exchange.
After all, once exchanged, his own state of mind might change as well, and Li Hao could not be sure whether he would still be himself after being altered by external forces.
Therefore, he decided it was better to rely on himself to solidify it.
Although the Merit Treasure Vault contained many items, Li Hao discovered upon browsing that the really top-notch items were few.
For example, the Extreme Realm Cultivation and Divine Strength Realm could be exchanged, as could the Heaven and Earth Vein, but they required even more merits.
But no exchange was offered for the Land Immortal Realm.
Neither for the Three Immortal Extreme Realms.
Therefore, relying on this Merit Treasure Vault could improve one into a distinguished talent, but it was difficult to become a leading one, as it seemed that everything that needed to be comprehended by oneself was scarce.
In other words, the Merit Treasure Vault was like a series of concentrated super resources.
Li Hao brought his thoughts back and approached the Extreme Tao Stele.
The crowd outside Tian Dao Mountain, having heard Li Hao was going to test the Extreme Tao Stele, also chased after to watch, including Ji and many other talented individuals.
They had already perceived that Li Hao had mastered three Extreme Realms, and now it was just a matter of the Extreme Tao Stele re-confirming it once again.
