Li Hao didn’t delay and swiftly switched to the Extreme Realm state to test himself on the Extreme Tao Stele.
Divine Power, Heaven and Earth Vein, Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!
Three types of Extreme Realms swiftly emerged; Li Hao consecutively attacked three Tao Steles, and the pitch-black steles simultaneously ignited with the black flames of the Extreme Tao Divine Flame.
Seeing the burning Tao Steles, despite knowing that Li Hao had mastered three Extreme Realms, the expressions of the crowd still shifted subtly once again.
Li Hao bypassed the fourth and fifth steles. Currently, his Control Path was at the Sixth Stage. Without any new Artistic Skills entering his spirit, he hadn’t managed to advance to the Seventh Stage. Moreover, his Tao Realm and the Divine Travel Realm were significantly impacted by the Control Path; hence he hadn’t yet touched the limits of these two realms either.
Even if he reached the Seventh Stage of the Control Path, he would still need many top-notch Divine Spirit Cultivation Skills and Object Manipulating Qi Circulation Skills to complement and reflect each other in order to cultivate to the pinnacle of the Extreme.
Li Hao arrived in front of the sixth stele.
“Does he have a fourth one?”
Ji XuanGod’s pupils contracted slightly upon seeing this.
From Li Hao directly bypassing the fourth and fifth steles, he realized something was off; the other party was not brute forcing, but was very clear about which Extreme Realms he had mastered.
The other prodigies also noticed this, and their faces changed.
Li Hao didn’t hold back, exhaling a breath of Immortal Qi before directly punching the Tao Stele.
Soon, the Dao rhyme on this sixth stele seemed to capture this breath of Immortal Qi, and immediately the towering black Divine Flames ignited!
Seeing Li Hao actually ignite the fourth Extreme Tao Stele, Ji Tian Chao’s eyes shone, his fists silently clenched in secret excitement.
However, the many People of the Ji Family who had caught up were all stunned, their faces full of shock as they watched this scene.
As members of the Ji Family, they naturally knew the common knowledge about Extreme Tao Steles: to ignite one stele already signified a prodigy, two steles, and in this generation, only Ji XuanGod had managed to do so!
Yet now, that youth had consecutively ignited four steles!
The burning black flames seemed also to flicker in their eyes, reflecting a series of incredulous faces.
Just then, the black flames on the four Extreme Tao Steles suddenly flared up, rising and intertwining in midair, and in addition, the pitch-black Extreme Tao Steles seemed to tremble slightly, each lighting up with an ancient silver character.
These ancient characters seemed to be the embodiment of the Dao rhyme, continuously rotating and enlarging, then suddenly soaring into the sky, transforming into four silver pillars.
The silver pillars pierced the heavens, split the clouds apart, and then the silver light connected to each other, outlining an ancient symbol, which then blinked and vanished as if it had entered the void.
Ji Daoxin, Ji Tian Chao, and a few of the Ji Family’s older generation all widened their eyes, staring into the void with anticipation and excitement. Discover more content at empire
The people in the distance were all astonished, not understanding what was happening.
But it wasn’t long before a silver, holy light suddenly came streaking through the void like a beam from tens of thousands of miles away, abruptly shining down on Li Hao.
An ancient saintly aura spread out, much like the ethereal yet vast presence Ji XuanGod had emitted when he activated the Holy Bone.
It seemed that just a whiff of this breath could shatter mountains and rivers!
“That is… the aura of a saint!”
“Has a saint descended?”
Many from the People of the Ji Family widened their eyes, disbelieving.
Ji XuanGod was also taken aback, as he had never seen such a scene before.
While shrouded in the saintly light, Li Hao felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring; shortly thereafter, he heard a faint voice:
“I wait for you to come.”
The voice transformed into thoughts that Li Hao could understand, settling into his heart.
As Li Hao looked again, the light dissipated, and normalcy returned to heaven and earth.
But on Li Hao’s forehead, a silver luminous mark appeared, quietly vanishing.
As the mark sank into his body, a series of messages emerged in Li Hao’s mind; they depicted a towering figure, seemingly seated in the Immortal God World, surrounded by auroras and spirit light curling around.
Its body emitted boundless dao majesty, as if being enshrined by the heavens and earth’s dao.
Merely one glance was enough to make one involuntarily lower their head in reverence.
This was… a saint!
In the widely circulated legends of the Dayu Divine Dynasty, the ultimate pursuit of countless Martial Artists was to become a saint!
Saints within the dynasty had already become legend, with only the True Person of the Gan Tao Palace being a living, powerful figure dominating over Dayu’s territories.
And now, Li Hao had actually seen a living saint and had been given the disciple’s mark by him.
The mark also contained a path, the way to that saint.
By activating the mark, he could reach him, bow down as a disciple, and listen to the saintly teachings!
Moreover, the saintly mark contained a strand of the other’s power, which once activated, probably even those in the Tao Comprehension Realm would have difficulty breaking through, acting as a protective amulet bestowed upon the disciple by him.
Li Hao’s eyes flickered, feeling the mark sink into the sea of his consciousness, ready to be activated to meet the saint – an incredibly tempting prospect.
Yet Li Hao had no intention of activating it just yet; he still had too many unresolved matters.
The saint seemed to know as well that he had many ties, hence the words, “I wait for you to come.”
