“After gaining strength, the only thing missing was a means of attack!”
Without hesitation, Li Hao chose Sword Dao and embedded it.
In an instant, a flood of thoughts and insights rushed in, comprehending the Sword Dao through the Artistic Path!
It seemed as though countless Sword Intents and Sword Qi surged into Li Hao’s mind. The small courtyard in front of him disappeared, and he was transported into a world of swords.
Endless Sword Qi, various types of swords, all appeared before him, all in his heart.
These swords included long swords, short swords, thin swords, heavy swords, and so on.
Each type of sword had its most fitting offensive moves and swordsmanship.
At this moment, all these appeared in Li Hao’s heart, presenting a myriad of visions. When all the swords merged into one, Li Hao felt a sense of enlightenment.

The sword is the sword, and the sword is only the sword.
Long sword, short sword, heavy sword, they are all swords.
Even flowers and grass can be swords.
Without a sword in hand, but with a sword in the heart, that is the Sword Dao.
At this moment, Li Hao’s Sword Dao advanced to the Ninth Stage, his Sword Dao became thoroughly clear!
The Only Me Sword Intent he had previously condensed now blended with the insights from the Ninth Stage Sword Dao, transforming into Only Me Swordsmanship!
What is “Only Me”?
Once my Sword Dao is executed, all Dao submit and are vanquished!
That is the essence of Only Me Swordsmanship, supremely domineering!
When Li Hao opened his eyes again, there was no sharp sensation throughout his body, but rather a feeling of sitting tranquilly in the long river of time, profound and serene.
But if one looked closely, the spot where he sat seemed to become the center of the small courtyard, and even the center of an area spanning tens of miles. His posture and spine resembled a sword planted on the ground, with its sharpness concealed yet, if one could glimpse even a trace, they would be cleaved.
At this very moment, merely in terms of the levels of Sword Dao, Li Hao had already reached the level of a Sword Saint.
If he could reach the Tenth Stage, he would be able to ascend to sainthood through the Ritual Path to Saint Ascension!
That would be the true Sword Saint, the supreme master of Sword Dao!
However, although Li Hao’s swordsmanship had reached the same level as a Sword Saint, there was still a vast difference in their combat capabilities, just like when his Sword Dao was at the Sixth Stage, he could slay those in the Dao Law Realm.
During the Six Stages of Sword Dao, within the Inner Sect Disciples of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, he ranked among the lowest.
“Sword Dao, Sword Dao, Sword Intent follows the heart, Sword Dao as you wish…”
Li Hao murmured to himself.
He looked at his small courtyard, and now, viewing the plain courtyard again, the sensation was completely different.
In his eyes, the miscellaneous weeds, stepping stones, and old jars in the courtyard all contained a certain toughness, which was also characteristic of the Sword Dao.
In all things, the shadow of a sword could be found.
After a session of absorption, night had fallen, and the sky was brilliant with starlight.
Li Hao withdrew his thoughts. He did not attempt to swing his sword to test the power of his Sword Dao. Having reached such a realm, he had a crystalline sense of his own strength and needed no testing to know it.
Casually, he gestured, and a piece of wood flew towards him—a carving knife landed in his hand, but at this moment, in Li Hao’s eyes, the carving knife transformed into a blade edge, and his carving became even more natural.
His Carving had already accumulated to the fifth stage of experience.
Li Hao glanced at his current attribute panel.
Physical Body Dao 9th Stage, Control Dao 7th Stage, Sword Dao 9th Stage, movement technique 6th Stage, Fist Skill 6th Stage.
In terms of Artistic Skill, Chess Tao 7th Stage, Musical Rhythm 4th Stage, Poetry and Books 4th Stage, Carving 5th Stage, Cooking Dao 9th Stage, Artistic Path 9th Stage, Fishing 6th Stage.
Remaining Skill Points: 7.
Both movement technique and Fist Skill were stuck due to the lack of a Spirit-Entering state of mind.
These two aspects were also important. Li Hao currently relied mainly on supplementing through the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm, but if his movement technique itself reached the Ninth Stage, and combined with Returning Ruins, Li Hao could barely imagine the extent he could reach, and the use of the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm would likely be beyond imagination.
Fist Skill not only enhanced his Fist Skill but the added arm strength also increased the might of his Sword Dao, which was indispensable.
“State of Mind, State of Mind, if both Fishing and Carving could reach the Seventh Stage, my combat capabilities would advance another level.”
Li Hao felt regret in his heart. There was still too little time, despite his hard work daily in cultivation, Fishing, and Carving, the progress was too slow.
Shaking his head, Li Hao put away the panel and continued his carving.
This time, Li Hao aimed to carve with the Sword Master as his target. He gradually carved the charm he remembered into the wood. Soon, a trace of that charm emerged.
When the carving was complete, Li Hao saw that he had gained more than five thousand experience points.
Just by carving the posture from his mind, there was such a vast amount of experience.
If he were carving face-to-face, it would probably amount to several hundred thousand.
Li Hao did not stop, and continued with the second carving.
Although the experience was substantial, Li Hao could distinctly feel that carving a Saint was much more challenging than other subjects. If it weren’t for his sword already having Entering Dao, using the Sword Dao to drive the carving knife, he might have almost hurt his hand several times while carving.
As the second carving surfaced, Li Hao’s experience in the Carving Arts unexpectedly reached the bottlenecks of the Fifth Stage, breaking through to the Sixth Stage!
The Sixth Stage required fifty thousand to fill up.
Li Hao continued to carve, gaining two to three thousand experiences on average with each successive attempt.
When the experience gains diminished, Li Hao thought of the Yao Ancestor and other Half-Saint Elders, as well as that Sword Saint.
The image of Yao Ancestor appeared in Li Hao’s mind, and he immediately began to carve. The carving knife in his hand moved fluidly like a dragon in flight, wood shavings splattered, and the figure of a beautiful woman, like a celestial being fallen to earth, appeared in his palm—it was the Yao Ancestor.
While Li Hao was immersed in carving, in the Sword Tower, sitting quietly on the rooftop gazing at the bright moon while drinking, the Sword Master suddenly felt a slight sensation, sensing a prying feeling.
This feeling, drawn by the Saint Path, turned his wistful gaze sharply, looking towards a certain place.
His vision seemed to penetrate thousands of miles, falling upon a certain small courtyard.
