“No wonder you’ve caught the attention of the Yao Ancestor. Are you thinking of joining our Holy Land now, or do you just plan to stay here for a while and then leave?”
Sword Master asked.
Although he didn’t pay attention to the affairs within the Holy Land and didn’t care, he still had to ask a few questions when such a monster appeared under his watch.
“Qing Ying Saintess has been kind to me; she is also a saintess within the Holy Land. If possible, I hope to avoid involvement with the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, so as not to bring trouble to the Holy Land in the future.”
Li Hao looked forthright and spoke earnestly.
Sword Master glanced at him and smiled slightly; he had guessed Li Hao’s thoughts. With such monstrous talent, most likely he was a Saint Heir from another Holy Land, or even personally taught by a Saint, and had now been treacherously abandoned here. Whoever had harmed him must hold a very high position, possibly related to the internal strife within a Holy Land.
When Li Hao sought revenge, it would inevitably bring about violent upheaval. Not joining the Sword Ancestor Holy Land wasn’t a sign of double-heartedness but was indeed a conscientious act.
“You have such a temperament, which is very good.”
Sword Master smiled and said, “I will pretend as if I have not seen your matters. Continue with your cultivation.”
After speaking, his figure flickered and he disappeared in front of Li Hao, still holding the fishing rod.
Li Hao secretly heaved a sigh of relief but dared not continue with his cultivation.
From the Sword Master’s tone, it seemed he believed that Li Hao had only just cultivated to the Ninety-seven-layer Dao Domain, not that he had cultivated to the Ninety-seven-layer Dao Domain in one breath.
There was a significant difference between the two.
He stood up and walked towards the Sixth-layer Sword Tower.
This time he still recorded Cultivation Techniques, collecting them all, with many thoughts surging, but this time he resisted the urge to cultivate on the spot.
Then he moved on to the Seventh-layer Sword Tower.
By the time he reached the Seventh-layer Sword Tower, it was filled with Daoist-level Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills.
There were various kinds of Daoist-level Body Refinement techniques, as well as Daoist-level swordsmanship, which when cultivated to perfection, could catch a glimpse of the Dao.
The Eighth-layer Sword Tower, however, contained purely Daoist-level Cultivation Techniques, including extremely precious Superior Divine Skills.
Divine Skills were the killer moves of those in the Dao Law Realm, more mysterious and harder to resist than simple use of laws.
Reaching the Ninth-layer Sword Tower, there were the top Dao arts and Saint laws that could emanate from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, as well as the top Divine Skills.

Only the Saint Heirs and saintesses were qualified to cultivate them, just below the unique secret techniques passed down by the various Semi-Saints and Saints.
Li Hao recorded them all, then picked a top Daoist-level sword technique.
This sword technique was created by a Sword Saint; although it was not the strongest swordsmanship of the Sword Saint, it still ranked as extremely powerful among many sword techniques.
However, mastering it was extremely difficult; this sword technique was called the Grand Dao Sword Technique!
With Li Hao’s understanding of swordsmanship at Stage Eight, he soon deduced it to a state of Perfection after recording it. As Li Hao immersed himself thoughtfully, it quickly improved again, reaching Ultimate Perfection.
Next, Li Hao integrated the enhanced Sword Intent into it, deepening his comprehension of the sword technique and raising its level to True State!
The Grand Dao Sword Technique, aptly named, is no longer a sword in the hand but the Dao.
The Dao is the sword, and the sword is the Dao, indelible!
The Grand Dao Sword Intent born from the Sword Technique was integrated into his own Sword Intent, making it even purer.
The Dao itself could also be severed!
Even though he had mastered the sword technique, Li Hao still took the Grand Dao Sword Technique with him as the technique to bring out of the Sword Tower.
Otherwise, leaving the Sword Tower empty-handed would be rather suspicious.
Upon returning outside the Sword Tower, Jiang Yingyue along with two Sword Attendants quickly cast their gaze at Li Hao, but their expression towards him had changed somewhat from before.
The words of the Sword Master still resonated like an echoing bell in their ears, and as they watched Li Hao, they increasingly felt that his every step exuded the elegance of a true master.
But upon closer inspection, he was merely walking normally.
“Do you possess the Ninety-seven-layer Dao Domain?”
As Li Hao approached, Jiang Yingyue couldn’t wait and asked first.
Her eyes tightly clung to Li Hao, as if waiting for him to nod in confirmation.
She didn’t know why she was so excited, only that she felt uneasy.
Although Li Hao knew the reason, he still asked in return, “Where did you hear that?”
“The Sword Master said it himself,” Jiang Yingyue stared at Li Hao, as if to say, do you want to deny it?
Li Hao showed a look of realization but felt somewhat helpless inside; a Saint could not be wrong, and this was something he had to admit.
He nodded and said, “Yes, that’s correct.”
Upon hearing Li Hao’s admission, Jiang Yingyue felt a jolt in her heart. Even though she knew a Saint could not be mistaken and that she couldn’t have misheard—after all, all three of them were there, so it was impossible for all three to be wrong—
Seeing Li Hao personally admit it still made her feel as if a huge stone had been thrown into her heart, creating huge ripples.
A ninety-seven-layer Dao Domain was simply astonishing; even if one were to forgo food and drink and ignore everything else, cultivating such a multitude of Dao Domains would take an exceedingly long time.
“In the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, your strength must be at the top.”
The female Sword Attendant wearing a copper mask sighed, full of emotion.
“Unless you encounter one of those monsters at the Extreme Realm, just the overlay of so many Dao Domains would likely slow down the permeation of laws, it’s too exaggerated.”
The male Sword Attendant also nodded and exclaimed, “Master said, to achieve anything, focus on the sole path; only the pure can reach the pinnacle. The origin of the Extreme Realm is the same; only dedication to the utmost can reach the Extreme Realm. Are you planning to abandon everything else and concentrate solely on reaching the Eighth Extreme Realm?”
Li Hao naturally harbored this thought, but not exclusively concentrating on it, he said:
