The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 238 Fifteen Years No See

As the Saint's mark disappeared, everyone's eyes were focused on the young man.

Even many members of the Ji family who had never seen such a scene could see that the young man seemed to have received a gift from the saint!
"The Mark of the Saint, he actually got the Mark of the Saint..."

"Is my Ji family going to give birth to another third ancestor?"

"The heaven has eyes, the heaven has eyes!!"

In the crowd, some old men from the Ji family with white hair and beards were trembling, waving their arms and shouting wildly with tears in their eyes.

They all recognized that it was the mark of a saint, which meant that Li Hao was favored by a saint and accepted as a disciple!

With Li Hao's current talent, if he could be favored by a saint and be taught by him, it would be almost certain that he would enter the realm of hearing the Tao.

How can you not hear the Tao when you follow the saint and listen to the Tao?

And if you take one more step, you may be able to step half way into the realm of saint!

Given the talent Li Hao had previously shown, this possibility was very high.

So much so that the older generation of the Ji family who survived from the ancient times all had tears in their eyes, as if they saw again the glorious era when the Ji family would rise in the Great Wilderness!
In that once most glorious era, the third ancestor of the Ji family wielded a magic spear and defeated all of the people in the wilderness. No one could fight him. The status and identity of the Ji family, the ancient holy clan, was recognized by other ancient holy clans, and they also snatched away the huge Ji family territory, which no one dared to trample on at will!

Hearing the excited shouts and tears of these old folks in the family, the others around were dumbfounded.

The mark of a saint? Comparable to the three ancestors?!

Even if he doesn't know what the Saint's Mark is, the Third Ancestor's status in the Ji family is second only to the First Ancestor!
These old ancestors actually said that the young man could hope to rival the three ancestors?

While everyone was stunned, Ji Tianchao, Ji Daoxin and others had already quickly flown to Li Hao's side.

"child!"

Ji Tianchao suppressed his excitement and said quickly: "That is the mark of a saint. Did you see a saint?"

Li Hao nodded and asked, "Is that the ancestor of the Ji family?"

Seeing Li Hao nod, Ji Tianchao and others took a deep breath, and the excitement in their eyes became increasingly difficult to control.

They are not as calm as Li Hao. Only those who live in the wilderness can understand how lofty the status of a saint is. He is the supreme existence!
A whiff of breath can scare away many people.

Even being able to take a peek is an unparalleled honor!

"No, my Ji family's ancestors have long since retired."

Ji Daoxin glanced at Li Hao and saw that the young man didn't seem to be very excited. He felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. If it were any other Ji family genius, they would probably be excited to the point of going crazy at this moment.

"The saints are detached from the world. It is said that the ancient saints have long retired. Some are hidden in a dewdrop on a leaf, some are hidden in the vast universe of a grain of dust, and some are traveling in the heavens beyond the earth and are no longer in the mortal world. In short, they cannot be seen unless the saints themselves reveal themselves."

Li Hao was a little surprised to hear Ji Daoxin's words. He really had no idea about the Saint Realm.

Can it shrink into dust and disappear into the world?
Can it transcend to the sky?
Li Hao couldn't imagine what kind of realm that was or what kind of power that was possessed. It felt like it had already surpassed the level of a warrior and belonged to myth and legend.

However, after reaching the Three Immortal Realms, it seems that one has already embarked on the path of transcendence.

Rebirth after a severed arm is not something that ordinary warriors can do.

Li Hao withdrew his thoughts. He still needed to condense his Tao heart first. The sage realm... was still too far away for him now.

Unless he can break through the ninth level in one of his artistic skills and reach the state of mind.

"Now, can I go visit my mother?" Li Hao asked.

Hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Daoxin couldn't help but laugh: "Why don't you ask more about the Saint Realm? My Ji family has detailed records of these aspects."

Obviously, the words imply that there will be many benefits if Li Hao can stay in the Ji family.

"Compared to these, I want to bring my mother back first." Li Hao said.

Ji Daoxin's eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on his face faded, he looked at Li Hao deeply, and said:
"Don't worry, you will see your mother soon."

Then he said to Ji Tianchao: "I will entrust this child to you. He is your grandson, and also my great-grandson."

Having said that, he looked at Li Hao again, thought about it, but did not ask the child to call him great-uncle.

Since becoming the head of the family, he has intentionally distanced himself from his relatives. Otherwise, there would be many inconveniences in daily discussions.

Ji Daoxin looked at Li Hao with some kindness in his eyes. He was delighted that Li Hao had such amazing talent, but compared to these, he now admired Li Hao's filial piety towards his mother even more.

Since he is so affectionate, if the Ji family gets along well with him in the future, why would they worry about betrayal?
Ji Daoxin turned around and left, waving his sleeves, handing Li Hao to Ji Tianchao and others. Before leaving, he glanced at Ji Qingyuan in the crowd, and the latter also sensed something and looked at him.

With just a brief eye contact, Ji Qingyuan understood what the patriarch meant: to let him find an opportunity to resolve the conflict with the young man.

In the future, Li Hao will surely become the war god of the Ji family. His status will not be inferior to Ji Qingyuan. He may even be able to enter the ranks of semi-saints and be on par with the third ancestor who is sleeping in the magic coffin.

If someone talks too much to Li Hao in the future and mentions what happened in the meeting hall before, it will inevitably be embarrassing.

Ji Qingyuan understood the patriarch's intention. He stared at the young man who was treated like a moon surrounded by stars by Ji Tianchao and others, and sighed in his heart.

Although he is the leader of the illegitimate children, the dispute between legitimate and illegitimate children has nothing to do with the God of War.

The young man had obviously jumped out of the ranks of legitimate and illegitimate children. When he became a Taoist, the concept of legitimate and illegitimate children no longer existed in him.

Now, even if he still stubbornly rejects it, most of the other illegitimate members of the Ji family will probably not agree.

Although the Ji family has been fighting between legitimate and illegitimate children for thousands of years, when facing the family prodigy and the god of war, unless there is a personal grudge, they have always felt a common pride.

This is the contradictory and strange thing about the Ji family, and it is also the reason why they can continue to prosper in the Great Wilderness.

Ji Qingyuan and Li Hao had never met before, so there was naturally no question of them being enemies. Now that the young man was a Taoist who had inherited the saint's legacy and was a saint's disciple-to-be, there was no need for them to continue to be enemies.

With a sigh in his heart, Ji Qingyuan's thoughts turned, thinking about how to resolve this festive situation.

At the same time, Ji Tianchao saw Li Hao's inquiring gaze and immediately said:
"Your mother is on Prisoner Heaven Island, which is deep in the Ji family's holy land, the most remote place. Don't worry, once we have made all the arrangements, we will let you go to see your mother as soon as possible."

Li Hao asked, "How long will it take?"

Ji Tianchao smiled and said, "At most six or seven days, you can live in your mother's palace first. If you miss her, you have the sacred treasure of the Sky Mirror, which can observe the situation on Prisoner Heaven Island. You can check your mother's movements at any time, but you can't send a voice message."

Li Hao thought about it and agreed.

There were many people around, and Ji Tianchao didn't like the crowds, so he didn't stay for long. He immediately took Li Hao and flew away, disappearing in front of the Jidao Monument.

When the onlookers saw the young man being taken away by the God of War Ji Tianchao, they all came to their senses and immediately started talking loudly, cheering excitedly, and had long since stopped taking the fact that Li Hao was a mixed-race seriously.

Ji Xuanshen and many other geniuses stared at the direction where the young man left, and it took them a long time to come back to their senses.

Everything seemed like a dream.

Before the holy bell rang, who could have imagined that they would experience such an incredible turmoil today.

"The Mark of a Saint. I never thought that the Fourth Extreme Realm could trigger the Mark of a Saint. How come no one in my family, including my father, has ever told me about this?!"

"Is it useful to tell you that you can't even condense the Heaven and Earth Veins?"

"..."

"That guy, what is the origin of his other half's bloodline? It's so terrifying."

"Could it be that his mother married into another ancient saint clan?"

Many geniuses were also discussing in low voices, still feeling frightened by what they had seen today.

Although most of them did not play in the game, the shocking battle between Li Hao and Ji Xuanshen had already completely convinced them all.

Even Ji Xuanshen was defeated when he took out the holy bone, and the legend of Dao Realm was also broken. The most terrifying thing was that the young man was only at the third level of immortality!

"You said, when he enters the Four Stages Realm, he will be invincible under the God of War, right?"

"...Don't you think that he already has a feeling of being invincible under the God of War?"

"Don't argue with me, I mean the truly invincible kind." "That's what I said..."

……

……

In the magnificent palace, Ji Tianchao and others walked in with Li Hao.

"This is where your mother lives. Your grandfather has passed away, but his heroic spirit is still in the ancestral hall. You can go visit him when you have time. I'm sure Old Thirteen will be very excited to see you, especially after hearing about what happened to you today..."

Ji Yunqing smiled and introduced him to Li Hao.

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly. When he thought of his grandfather, he thought of his blood grandfather.

I don’t know whether he has fulfilled his wish now that he has arrived at the Li family.

"You have come here from afar, deep into the wilderness, and experienced many hardships. You must have a very deep relationship with your mother."

Ji Yunyue said with a kind grandmotherly smile on her face.

Is it deep? Li Hao's thoughts turned.

Just after he came here, during the hundred-day banquet, the "mother" who was still a little girl in his eyes had already passed away.

Fifteen years.

He had even forgotten what the other person looked like, but he still vaguely remembered those gentle eyes.

And what the other party said:

"In fact, mother has already thought of a name for you, Leping, Li Leping... Mother just hopes that you will be happy and safe..."

"...No matter what happens in the future, mother will always stand behind you and will never let anyone hurt you..."

Li Hao could not forget these words.

So, this time it was his turn to protect her from the wind and rain.

"How long have you been with your mother? Did your mother teach you all your skills?"

Ji Tianchao was also curious and asked.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "We've been together for about a hundred days."

"Ok?"

Ji Tianchao and the others were all stunned. Did they say it wrong? A hundred days?
Li Hao knew that after he brought his mother back home, he would have to explain his precocious intelligence. Now, he was no longer afraid of exposing these superficial abilities.

Therefore, his attitude was also open and frank, and he said frankly: "Yes, my mother went to the border to fight during my Hundred Days Banquet. Most of the skills were learned by myself."

Ji Yunyue was slightly stunned, and quickly asked: "What happened next? How long did it take you to get back?"

“No.”

Li Hao said: "Later, it seems that her identity was exposed and she was brought back here, so I came to find her."

Hearing the young man's calm words and seeing his smiling face, Ji Tianchao and others stayed where they were. For a moment, they even forgot what to say.

So, this mother and son haven't seen each other for more than ten years?

"You, how old are you?"

Ji Yunyue said with a trembling voice.

"Fifteen."

"Do you remember what happened on the hundredth day?" Ji Tianchao couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao nodded: "I have been precocious since I was a child. I remember everything that happened a few months after I was born."

Several people looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

So, the child in front of them had only been with their niece for a short hundred days.

This so-called deep love between mother and child is probably much thinner than they imagined.

But thinking about what Li Hao had done before, fighting bloody battles in the dojo, defeating all the geniuses, and resisting the holy bones, what was going on in this kid's mind?
"More than ten years... How could Qingqing be so confused!"

Ji Yunyue knew that he was saying bad things about Li Hao's mother in front of him, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for the child in front of him.

Ji Tianchao and the others were also silent. They thought that the fact that this grandson was so careless and even took his mother's surname and came here to atone for her sins was a sign of the deep affection between mother and son, but the result was completely the opposite.

They had only been together for about a hundred days, and if Li Hao hadn't had an extraordinary memory, I'm afraid he would not have remembered the existence of this mother at all.

"So, do you hate your mother?" Ji Yunqing couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "Of course I don't hate her. I have a good life and someone to take care of me. She has her own things to do. Fighting on the battlefield is very hard."

There is another reason why he doesn't hate. He is a time traveler, and the soul of a mature person doesn't have much attachment to anything.

After hearing the young man's words, several people's hearts were silent, as if pierced by some sharp thorns. Ji Yunyue turned her head, covered her face with her sleeves, and secretly wiped away her tears.

"Good boy, your mother will be proud of you when she sees you this time!"

Ji Tianchao's eyes were also a little red, but he suppressed his emotions and smiled gently at Li Hao.

Everyone else felt sorry for her. Although they didn't know the specific reason, as a mother, it was unacceptable for her to only accompany her child for a hundred days.

And now, in order to help her escape, this child was willing to risk his life to brave the wilderness and take risks to come to the Ji family, enduring all kinds of provocations and humiliations and challenging the ancient genius. This sincerity moved them so much that they wanted to cry.

"Qingqing, as a new mother, was too ignorant. Unexpectedly, she gave birth to a smart and well-behaved son."

The fourth brother whispered, his voice seemed a little hoarse.

"You came here to take risks for Qingqing, aren't you afraid of dying?" Ji Yunqing asked, suppressing his heartache.

Li Hao shook his head: "I believe in Senior Yun Ge. Even if I can't see her, I can save my life. If I can see her, then I will give it a try. It just so happens that I have this power, so I will naturally take action."

When they heard Li Hao talking about Ji Yunge, they fell silent. Only then did they understand that none of Ji Yunge's previous praises for the young man were exaggerated.

No wonder the arrogant third brother praises it so much.

This child... made them all feel impeccable. Such love and character were more precious than talent!

"Good boy, take a good rest first. I'll have someone bring the Sky Viewing Mirror to you later so you can see your mother. It's a pity that she's on Prisoner Sky Island and can't see you, but you'll be able to meet soon."

Ji Tianchao said softly.

He patted Li Hao's shoulder and pointed to the side hall next to him: "This is where your mother lives and works. You can take a good look at it."

Li Hao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, others also asked Li Hao to rest first. After all, Li Hao had fought against many geniuses in succession and had not taken any magic medicine yet. Anyone else would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.

After they left one after another, Li Hao took a look at this noble palace, looked around inside, and then saw a painting on a wall.

The painting shows a graceful, beautiful and lively girl.

She exudes a youthful and lively aura, her eyes are innocent and bright, yet full of intelligence.

The vague memories in Li Hao's mind seemed to emerge quietly and become clear at this moment.

The face with only bright eyes left appeared before his eyes as if penetrating through the mist.

Li Hao took a closer look and immediately understood that the girl in front of him was his mother when she was young.

Li Hao suddenly felt something in his heart, and called Ji Yunyue and others who were left at the door to listen to his instructions, and asked them to prepare paper and pen for him.
