The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 198: Foundation Building, Unrivaled Talent (Two Chapters in One)
"Hao'er..."

Li Xuanli clenched his fists, feeling grief-stricken.

The Li family soldiers and the Liangzhou governor around him also lost their smiles and remained silent.

The older generations of the Xia and Chen families who came to help were all slightly stunned when they heard the thunderous shouts. They had never seen a general with such a great reputation.

Moreover, there were many arrogant aristocratic military forces gathered here from various cities, and at this moment they were shouting even more excitedly than the army officers and soldiers.

You know, although the noble families and warlords of the Dayu Divine Dynasty had interactions with each other, they looked down on each other.

The warlords looked down on the shallow snobbery of the noble families who were greedy for money and afraid of death, and regarded them as the intractable disease that had plagued Yu the Great.

The aristocratic families were afraid of the deterrent power of the warlords, and were looked down upon by the warlords, so they also looked down on the warlords, secretly despising their blind loyalty and stubbornness and inflexibility.

It is truly an incredible sight to be able to be so unified at this moment.

"Li Hao..."

Li Wushuang's body was also covered in blood. She rushed out with the soldiers, looking for scattered demons to kill. At this moment, she was exhausted and her hands were limp.

The calls in my ears were all the boy's name.

Her face was pale as she asked her father, "Should we go find him?"

Li Xuanli's heart was shaken, as if a sharp thorn had pierced his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "Look, where should I look?"

Li Wushuang's face suddenly became paler. Yes, the world is so big, where can I find it?
That young man...has been lost by their Li family!
She couldn't help feeling sad.

As someone of the same generation as Li Hao, she knew that the boy had done well enough, but ended up dying young.

Next to him, Li Tiangang also heard what Li Xuanli said. His face changed, and his huge and sturdy body began to tremble slightly, and the blood in his body seemed to turn cold.

Where to find...

The pursuit by three masters of the ultimate arts realm is extremely dangerous, not to mention that one of them is at the half-step Taiping Dao realm!
He was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "Fifth brother, first treat the wounded and disabled, reorganize the remaining forces, and solve the demon disasters in various parts of Liangzhou."

"I will go look for him after the battle is over."

Li Xuanli glanced at him, knowing that any comfort at this moment would be futile, and said:

"I will send two light cavalry teams to track him down first. Maybe Hao'er has great fortune and can escape by luck."

Li Tiangang's eyes moved slightly, thinking that the child was indeed favored by countless people and could be considered to be blessed with great fortune.

He nodded and said, "That's right. Let them take the military flag with them... His military flag can also provide protection for other monsters if they encounter them along the way."

At this point, he had to admit that his son's reputation was even more famous than that of the Li family's Yuanzi Camp.

At least in this battle of Liangzhou, in Liangzhou, everyone will know about it.

Including demons.

Li Xuanli nodded. Needless to say, he knew this. Right now in Liangzhou, only Li Hao's military flag was the most useful. If they used their battle flags, the monsters would most likely resist for a while, or even be killed depending on the situation. But if they used Li Hao's battle flags, it would be hard to say.

No one knew whether the battle flag was real or fake, and the child had a great reputation. He turned the tide in this battle, killed seven demon kings in a row, swept across the world, and established the world with his battle flag.

Many achievements will spread throughout the demon circle.

Among these monsters, there are those from Tianji Palace who roam around and have a keen grasp of some information, unless they are some ignorant little monsters in the wilderness.

"Let's go somewhere else. Since we are here, let's see how many remnants there are."

The old man from the Chen family said this with a cold look in his eyes. His robe was stained with blood from the previous fight with the monsters. Although he looked gray-haired, he was full of bloodthirsty murderous aura.

The older generation of the Xia family nodded and glanced at Li Tiangang. He was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and he had already understood the general situation from just a few words from the discussions of the people around him and the calls of the aristocratic family soldiers.

This second line of defense has been able to last until now thanks to the help of Li Tiangang's son.

Seven demon kings were killed in succession. At this moment, their corpses were still scattered on the battlefield, like hills, which was extremely horrifying.

Even old guys like these would doubt whether they could accomplish such a feat.

Not to mention that the other party also attracted three people in the ultimate realm. The master of the Taixu realm, Zhuhuo Shen, revealed a shocking secret. He was already half a step into the Taiping Dao realm and was almost able to be on par with the Buddha.

"It seems that we, the next generation of the Five Great Divine Generals' Houses, have all lost..."

"The Li family's true dragon is unmatched..."

The old man of the Xia family sighed secretly in his heart, thinking of the outstanding younger generations in his family, comparing them in his mind, and couldn't help shaking his head.

The difference is too obvious.

However, the fact that the Li family's true dragon is so outstanding may not be a bad thing for the upcoming situation.

Thinking of all that secret information, the old man from the Xia family looked even more serious.

"We are all responsible for the suffering of the people. I will accompany you two for another trip."

Taoist Qianji flicked his whisk lightly and spoke to the two of them.

He glanced at his disciple in the distance again, his eyes flickering slightly. The scene when he went to the Li family to recruit disciples inexplicably flashed through his mind at this moment.

When he took Wushuang away, no one paid any attention to the young man standing next to him.

Who could have expected that today, he would shine so brightly, more dazzling than anyone else.

Even I was saved by the other person and felt grateful for that person.

After living for hundreds of years, he was finally shortsighted for once...

He sighed inwardly and felt regretful. He sent a message to Li Wushuang, asking her to be careful. Then he left this place with the older generations of the Xia and Chen families and began to sweep across Liangzhou, looking for the remaining traces of the Demon King.

……

……

Outside the borders of Liangzhou, Longcheng was lost in the river.

In the God General’s Mansion, in the Qinglian Courtyard.

Because he was sleepy from absorbing the knowledge of Kendo and had another nap, Li Hao was already two years old.

At this moment, in a place in the courtyard, Li Hao was huddled together with the young man Li Xiaoran.

Now that Li Hao can speak, the two can communicate.

"Other people are not important, but in front of your grandfather, that is, in front of my eldest brother, you must conceal your identity. Don't let him know that you came from outside the Dead River."

Li Xiaoran looked around, set up a soundproof barrier and whispered, "In front of other people, even if you look weird, as long as it doesn't happen often, they won't notice anything. But it won't work in front of my brother. His obsession is self-aware, and the whole Dragon City exists because of him."

"If he notices something unusual about you and knows that you are from outside the Dead River and not his son Li Shilang, he will expel you or even kill you. Remember this!"

Li Hao looked solemn and nodded.

Li Xiaoran was very cautious when he came to see him, probably because he was disguising his identity.

The strange thing is that he has no name here, only a name, Li Shilang.

Perhaps, the old man had only nine sons in his lifetime, and I was an exception, so he never thought of a name for the tenth child, so this is the name he was given.

"Did you also start as a baby when you came in?" Li Hao asked curiously.

"Almost all, starting from the beginning."

Li Xiaoran nodded, with a somewhat lonely look in his eyes, and said: "Before my eldest brother died, he always felt that he was defeated because he didn't work hard enough."

"It may be because of this idea that this dead river has such special rules. The rules of other dead rivers at the level of Youdu are different."

I see... Li Hao understood and asked curiously, "So we came in together, you came in many years earlier than me?"

"Yes, the time here is very strange. You have already felt it. I have actually been here for a long time. In addition to practicing, I have also been looking for traces of those demons. They have been lurking in Dragon City. When the Dragon City War breaks out after you turn eighteen, those demons will show up."

"I will kill them in advance!" Li Xiaoran's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Li Hao felt the aura surging from him. This Fourth Master had already cultivated to the third level of immortality.

Li Xiaoran looked at Li Hao, as if he understood Li Hao's thoughts, and said:
"My identity does give me some advantages in passing this Dead River, so I have always been guarding this Dead River. Every time I come in, I basically use my original identity. I guess this should also be a deliberate arrangement of my eldest brother's obsession before he died."

"Big brother also wants to be free, and wants me to take him home..."

When he said this, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Li Hao was silent for a moment, then asked, "If I show amazing talent, will it be exposed?"

"will not."

Li Xiaoran quickly calmed down and shook his head, saying, "It's okay no matter how shocking it is, as long as you don't say anything weird. In his impression, you shouldn't know anything."

Li Hao understood, that is, as long as everything was in line with his current development trajectory, it would be fine.

"If we spend more than ten years slowly here, how long will it take outside?" Li Hao asked. He had been worried about this problem before.

It was unknown whether the three demon kings entered the Death River, or whether they were guarding outside, or turning around and fighting back to Liangzhou.

"Are you worried about the demon king outside?"

Li Xiaoran saw Li Hao's worry and said with a smile: "Don't worry, they have also come into this dead river. A few years before you were born, the Candle Fire God relied on the ability to open the Taiping Dao Realm and ignore some special rules in the Dao Realm. He directly killed his way to Dragon City and wanted to kill you and me quickly."

"But he underestimated the power of our Li family, and also underestimated the power of my eldest brother's obsession!"

"A few years ago, my eldest brother led the heroic spirits of the ancestors of the Li Family Ancestral Hall to defeat him in a great battle. The enemy should be hiding outside Dragon City now, waiting to take advantage of the situation when Dragon City attacks in the future."

Li Hao was slightly stunned. The other party actually came to kill him a few years in advance?
He had just entered the Dead River, and the other party even came in after him. As a result, the timeline in this Dead River ran ahead of him?
"Since the Taiping Dao Realm can ignore the rules, wouldn't it be easy to resolve if the Buddha took action?" Li Hao asked curiously.

Considering the Li family's relationship, it is not impossible to ask the Buddha to intervene, it just depends on whether the price offered is high enough.

"You can only ignore some rules, and even if you are in the Taiping Dao realm and can roam freely in the Dao domain, you can only protect yourself at most. If you violate some taboos, there will be danger. The things involved are too profound, and you will slowly feel it." Li Xiaoran said.

Li Hao felt a chill in his heart. Even if a strong man like the Buddha came here, it would be dangerous and taboo. What was hidden here?
"Besides the Candle Fire God, I guess that old dragon Lu Yuan is here too. At most, Madam Yin will be left outside to look after them."

Li Xiaoran looked at Li Hao and said, "They came here to hunt you down because of your talent, right? I remember your birthday is the same as Xiaojiu's death anniversary, so you are fifteen this year?"

Li Hao nodded.

Li Xiaoran couldn't help but sigh, "This explains why you were able to attract them here. A fifteen-year-old in the Third Immortal Realm, with that terrifying power that erupted in a desperate situation, no wonder they were so crazy about killing you. You're scarier than Xiaojiu. That bear boy Tiangang really gave birth to a good son!"

He didn't notice Li Hao's frown, and continued:

"The time of this Dead River is strange, but the time you are awake here is the same as the time outside. That old dragon Lu Yuan must have come in as well. A demon king from Longmen once came to this Dead River. After escaping, he must have shared the information about this place with Longmen. That old dragon Lu Yuan has the information in his hands, and since the Candle Fire God has entered, he will most likely take him in with him."

"The defense of Longcheng this time will be more difficult than before."

He looked solemn, and said to Li Hao: "But it is also an opportunity for you. Re-cultivating can help you sort out your original martial arts and find out the flaws. And the new insights you gain from cultivation will be brought out after you leave the Dead River."

“When the outside world reflects my own martial arts, there will be a significant improvement.”

"You are only two years old now. Although you still have sixteen years, you don't have that much time to practice. You can only stay awake for a few years when you reach the state of spiritual wandering."

"So the time you spend practicing here is actually shorter than when you are outside. You have to work twice as hard!"

Li Hao understood this and said, "Okay. You take care of yourself too." Li Xiaoran saw a maid looking for Li Hao not far away, and knew that the time was almost up, so he carried Li Hao to the maid and teased her all the way.

Li Hao also played the role of a two-year-old child and smiled happily.

"Young Master, you are here."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li Hao, and immediately bowed to Li Xiaoran.

Li Xiaoran waved his hand and said goodbye to Li Hao with a teasing smile on his face.

Li Hao watched him walk out of the yard and sit in the maid's arms. He thought for a moment and then closed his eyes.

……

In the courtyard, Li Hao was soaking in a huge medicine barrel.

He is three years old now.

In the God General's Mansion, one builds the foundation at the age of three, dissolves blood at the age of four, measures bones at the age of five, and practices at the age of six. This is the most suitable practice process after thousands of years of research.

Practicing too early can easily cause damage to the bones, inhibiting the growth of the body and having a counterproductive effect.

Li Hao sped up time to the age of three in order to build his foundation.

When the foundation building fails, he will have more time to do other things.

At this moment, there were many figures standing in the courtyard.

"Mother" Chen Hefang, and "grandfather" Li Tianzong.

There are other brothers, including a little sister, Li Hongzhuang, who is just one year old and can only walk.

Laying the foundation is a big deal, Li Tianzong came in person to lay the foundation for Li Hao. Other brothers also arrived. Li Hao saw his uncle, second uncle, third uncle, etc. whom he had never seen before... They all looked like teenagers and children.

Some of them are already full of heroic spirit, while some of them may have young faces but already have heroic spirit between their brows.

Li Hao didn't take other people too seriously, but he felt a little nervous when facing his "father" Li Tianzong.

Li Xiaoran said that the other party is conscious and his behavior can change at any time, so you must never reveal any flaws in front of him.

"Light the incense."

Li Tianzong ordered.

A middle-aged housekeeper in the courtyard responded respectfully and inserted a stick of incense into the incense burner next to him.

Li Hao recognized that the man was Zhao Bo, but his face looked younger and his back was not as bent.

He felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy and sadness in his heart, and suddenly felt that he seemed to have left something behind when he left the house.

Some precious memories and friendships.

I wonder how Uncle Zhao is doing now, whether the maid Qingzhi is still making so much noise, and whether Yuanzhao, that kid, has no one to tell him stories. Is he practicing well and eating well?
"So fast!"

At this moment, Li Tianzong's exclamation sounded, interrupting Li Hao's thoughts.

Li Hao was stunned and looked down at the medicine barrel.

However, he saw that the black liquid in the medicine barrel contained wisps of even darker black liquid that were sucking towards his body.

Li Hao was stunned.

He blinked hard and called up the panel, but saw that there was no prompt and he could not absorb the medicine.

what's the situation?
Li Hao was stunned.

He remembered that he should be able to isolate the medicinal liquid, so he could only rely on the points added by the panel.

But now, he could feel waves of hot and strange power surging into his body, making his whole body feel hot.

Is this the feeling of building a foundation?

I am actually building my foundation?

Li Hao was stunned, and then he was shocked. Is the panel broken?
He looked at it again and again and found that the panel could jump out at any time with the call and there was no change.

Could it be that it was because of the Dead River?

This dead river is extremely mysterious. So far no one knows its source and it cannot be explored.

Li Hao was confused, and suddenly, he seemed to understand the reason.

The panel isolates itself from the absorption of the liquid medicine, thus isolating itself from the original body.

But now, this baby body of his is not his real body, it is the body in the Dead River.

Li Xiaoran had said before that after leaving the Dead River, he would be able to take the martial arts insights gained here with him, but his specific cultivation would not be able to be synchronized with his physical body outside.

In other words, if you don't practice well here, you will remain in the same state after you get out.

I became stronger through practice here, and returned to my original state after leaving.

The state of mind here cannot be taken out. Only the understanding of martial arts and the things that are integrated into one's thoughts and memories can be taken out.

Therefore, strictly speaking, these medicinal liquids were not absorbed by his body, but by the body in the Dead River, so the panel was not isolated.

Well... Although he understood the reason, Li Hao found that he couldn't seem to be happy.

Solved a bad case.

"However, I can see here that if I can absorb various things, plus the points added on the panel, and grow to the limit, how far I can cultivate at the fastest speed." Li Hao thought to himself.

At this moment, as the medicine poured in, Li Hao felt his flesh and blood becoming hot, and his small body was filled with a surging sense of power.

So this is what building the foundation feels like... Li Hao felt as if his whole body was being massaged.

While Li Hao was enjoying himself, Li Tianzong, Chen Hefang and others outside were all stunned.

Li Hao's other "brothers" who had completed the foundation-building process ahead of time were also looking at the changes in the medicine barrel in shock.

This speed is far beyond theirs.

"So fast, will it be completely absorbed within one stick of incense?" said the boss Li Xingbei.

"It's much faster than me, even faster than my ninth brother. It's so exaggerated!" The second brother Li Fengping was also amazed.

Li Tianzong looked at the liquid medicine in the medicine barrel, which was getting lighter in color and gathering towards Li Hao's body like a dragon sucking water. Except for the initial shock, he soon burst into laughter.

"Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my Li Tianzong's son!"

He laughed and looked at Li Hao with fondness on his face.

Li Hao was enjoying himself.

After half an incense stick of time, the water in the medicine barrel became clear, and all the medicine was absorbed by Li Hao.

Li Tianzong had already asked Zhao Bo to bring the second bucket to Li Hao and poured it in.

After absorbing three buckets in succession, Li Hao's body was finally full.

Li Tianzong was also stunned and muttered, "It's twice as much as Xiaojiu!"

Li Hao felt his whole body and felt as light as a swallow. Just on the first day of building the foundation, his body had changed and his physique had undergone tremendous changes.

Li Hao didn't stop. He closed his eyes for a moment, and then he came to five days later. He jumped a little too much.

But Li Hao felt that his body was obviously stronger than before. It seemed that during these few days that he skipped, he was also fully absorbing the foundation-building medicine.

In this case, Li Hao immediately closed his eyes again, making time jump faster, and each time he opened his eyes it would be a few days later.

He checked his body each time to make sure he was following the normal trajectory, then quickly skipped again.

Time fast-forwarded, and soon it was a year later.

Hemolysis at the age of four.

Because Li Hao was gifted, Li Tianzong killed a demon king for him and took its precious blood for Li Hao to smelt.

But the precious blood had been diluted, so the first attempt was just a superficial one.

For ordinary hemolysis, a demon who can use the heavenly realm is already a wealthy and powerful family.

Only the direct disciples of a few top sects can use the demons in the Three Immortal Realms.

As for the precious blood of the demon king, few people would use it. First, it was too precious and hard to get. Second, it was too potent. A four-year-old child could not bear it at all. Instead, he would be easily infected by the demon blood and transformed into a half-demon.

Li Tianzong also tried carefully and did not give too much precious blood the first time.

But soon, Li Hao's absorption speed surprised him again, and the diluted demon king's blood was quickly absorbed by Li Hao.

"Good good."

Li Tianzong couldn't stop smiling, and was surprised and delighted by his youngest son's talent. In his opinion, this was definitely the most outstanding talent in the Li family in thousands of years!
After Li Hao suffered hemolysis at the age of four, although he was still a child, he already had a lot of brute strength in his body.

Li Hao did not skip any more, but fast-forwarded to the free time when he was not soaked in the strange blood, found Zhao Bo, and asked him to find a chessboard for him.

Although Uncle Zhao was surprised by Li Hao's strange request, he was extremely fond of this talented young master. He did not stop him and asked his servants to purchase a pair.

Li Hao took advantage of his free time to go to his own courtyard. In addition to reciting poems, he also found some brushes, ink and rice paper and hid in the side room to paint.

The courtyard is relatively quiet now. Those "brothers" have all gone to the martial arts field. Only Li Hao and Li Hongzhuang, who is two years younger than him, are in the yard.

Li Hongzhuang, who was only two years old, was very attached to Li Hao for some reason. Li Hao hid in the side room to secretly draw, but was found by this little girl.

Looking at the little girl who is his aunt in real life, running towards him while calling "brother" in a pink and tender voice, Li Hao felt helpless and weird.

He didn't know how he and this little girl got to play together while jumping quickly, and the other girl seemed very intimate with him.

Li Hao had no choice but to find some snacks and asked her to sit beside him and wait for him to draw.

This familiar feeling reminded Li Hao of the time when he was playing chess and drawing in the courtyard with a little tail following him.

But later, the little tail broke off.

Li Hao shook his head slightly, collected his thoughts, and continued to sketch quickly on the drawing paper.

There was a bang.

Just as Li Hao was enjoying his painting and his experience in watching moving paintings continued to increase, the door of the side room was suddenly pushed open.

Li Tianzong walked in with a tall figure. Seeing Li Hao and Li Hongzhuang here, his eyes flickered and fell on Li Hao:

"What are you doing?"

Li Hao's heart subconsciously skipped a beat, but now he had been seen clearly, and he couldn't hide it, so he had no choice but to say helplessly: "I'm drawing."

Li Tianzong glanced at the drawing board, and his dignified expression softened. He said:
"Just draw, why do you hide here and make your mother look for you?"
