The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 272: Primordial Spirit, Seventh Realm (Two in One)

In less than half a day, Li Hao arrived in Youzhou again.

This time, considering the speed of old man Xia Yuanwu, he did not rush. After all, in addition to reaching the destination, the scenery along the way is also very important.

When he came to the Xia family again, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Divine General's Mansion, he saw Xia Linglong standing at the gate to greet him personally. There were a few more people coming this time, including three old men with restrained and profound auras, who were obviously the older generation of the Xia family.

When the old men who had been leading the troops outside saw the young man stepping down from the back of the Candlefire God, they all stared at him.

The sword of Youzhou killed the leader of Gluttony Valley, and set off a sword tide to quell the rebellion and disaster. This was witnessed by millions of people.

In addition, when they rushed to Qingzhou's aid, they learned that Longmen and Shenggong, who were besieged outside Qingzhou city, had also been killed by Li Hao.

The leaders of those two major forces were both at the Taiping Dao realm and had been a major concern for the major generals' palaces over the years. But now they were killed by Li Hao in an instant, which shocked the older generation.

"General Haotian, please."

Xia Linglong gazed at the young man in front of her tenderly and invited him with a smile.

When she saw him again this time, her feelings were different from before. She and Xia Yuanwu had witnessed Li Hao killing the Lord of Gluttony Valley, and she also learned that Li Hao went to Qingzhou to kill the two old demon kings, Long Jueshen and Feng Lingxiao. She already knew that although this young man was only in his teens, he had already stood at the top of Dayu.

Apart from the real person from Qiandao Palace, perhaps only the Buddha, who is recognized as the second most powerful person, can fight against him, and the outcome is hard to say.

Many people of Xia Linglong's generation, including the next generation and people of the same generation as Li Hao, also rushed over upon hearing the news and watched from afar along the way in the mansion.

Upon learning that the legendary young man was coming here, many of the younger generation of the Xia family were extremely excited, feeling both curiosity and admiration.

Born in a military family, although they bear the glory of the Xia family, they basically all have the consciousness of admiring the strong. After all, when the army fights, they never engage in verbal battles, but only in fist and foot skills.

The same is true for most of the straightforward people born in military families. They do not like empty talk. Real realm and real achievements are the most convincing things.

Li Hao has both of these.

Be it the enviable cultivation of the Fourth Stage or the feat of beheading the leader of the demon kings, any one of them is far beyond the reach of his peers.

"At the beginning, he was said to be at the Fifteen Mile Realm when he was fourteen years old. Logically, his cultivation speed should have slowed down after he reached the Fifteen Mile Realm, but he actually sped up."

"Is this the General Haotian? He is indeed as young as the legend says."

"I heard that the Lord of Gluttony Valley was killed by him with one sword. In the realm of Taiping Dao, he is also at the level of a demon god."

Many of the Xia family's disciples looked on from afar and discussed in low voices.

Some of the extremely talented geniuses also had complicated expressions. It was not because of jealousy, but because they felt there was a huge gap and their self-confidence was undermined.

They are still competing with their peers and have not yet become the leader, but that young man, surrounded by their fathers and even the older generation, has already stood out like a star among chickens.

This gap is too big.

When they arrived at the Xia family's reception hall, Li Hao felt the warm atmosphere of the Xia family. He immediately told Xia Linglong that he wanted to see Lingyuan Pavilion.

Xia Linglong also noticed that Li Hao didn't seem to like noise. This young man had a sense of tranquility in his bones. No matter where he was, he felt like he was sitting on the top of a mountain, peaceful and distant.

He immediately let many of the Xia family members leave, and then took Li Hao to Lingyuan Pavilion.

Li Hao asked Xiyan to go to the Candle God first and wait here.

Afterwards, he asked Mr. Xia Yuanwu to help take care of Ren Qianqian.

Ren Qianqian was nervous and embarrassed along the way, but at the same time she was excited and surprised. She didn't expect that Li Hao would be treated so courteously in the Xia family, which is also a member of the God's General's Mansion.

Seeing Li Hao was about to leave, she suddenly became nervous, but still nodded obediently and gave Li Hao a smile that reassured him.

Xia Yuanwu saw that the little girl was nervous. The Godly General's Mansion was very majestic, so in order to prevent the little girl from getting too nervous, he took her to his own yard.

On the other side, Li Hao came to Lingyuan Pavilion.

Xia Linglong smiled and said, "General Haotian, this is the important place of our Xia family, Lingyuan Pavilion. It is as majestic as the sky. Our ancestors built this pavilion in the hope that our Xia family could collect all the martial arts in the world here for future generations to practice at will, master the skills of thousands of families, and create a brilliant martial arts flourishing era."

Li Hao nodded and said, "If martial arts flourish, then we need to share the skills."

Xia Linglong was slightly startled, stared at the young man, and smiled:

"General Haotian is right. My Xia family originally planned to put the middle and lower-grade skills into martial arts halls in various places to teach the people. Although doing so would require us to argue with the scholars in the court, it is not difficult. The difficulty now is that the demons are wreaking havoc outside the country. If the external worries are not resolved, there may be internal troubles."

Li Hao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood.

External worries are demons. If martial arts techniques are shared in large quantities at low prices, or even for free, the number of martial artists in the world will increase dramatically. With too many martial artists, it will easily lead to chaos and internal troubles.

Some martial artists in the world, although they have martial arts skills, have no martial ethics. They will do anything for profit, compete with each other, and even work for demons. All they seek is profit.

If demons sneak in and collude with these martial arts sects, internal and external troubles will erupt at the same time, and the promotion of this kind of martial arts will actually cause Dayu to decline faster.

But in order to suppress the demons, we must train more warriors, which is a contradiction.

If warriors are managed, it is equivalent to organizing them into the army. If the number of soldiers is large, it will be a large expense to provide them with food, meals and training resources. On weekdays when there is no war, the burden is too heavy, and they cannot be disbanded.

Once they are dispersed, these warriors will cause chaos everywhere, and may become bandits, which will harm the people.

Therefore, the court had to use warriors to slay demons, but also had to control the number of warriors. The means of balancing these two aspects was extremely brain-intensive, and there were countless amazing tricks and strategies that were too numerous to mention.

“Everything is like yin and yang, but balance is hard to find.”

Li Hao said.

He is not good at governing the world, so he needs to understand people's hearts.

If one can understand people's hearts, life will inevitably become boring.

He could endure the loneliness of drinking alone, but he could not endure the boredom of life.

When Xia Linglong heard Li Hao's words, some thoughts flashed through her eyes. Then she looked deeply at the young man and said softly, "General Haotian, please, you can stay in there for a few days if you want. Just promise not to tell anyone else."

"I will not let Patriarch Xia down for his trust."

Li Hao said.

Then he walked into Lingyuan Pavilion.

This attic was filled with martial arts secret manuals. Li Hao looked around and found that the furnishings inside were similar to those in Tingyu Tower.

He didn't waste any time and quickly searched through the books, adding them to the panel one by one.

Originally, he wanted to include the secret manuals of martial arts selectively, but now he doesn't have so much time. It is useless to deduce one by one whether there is complete overlap, so he will include them first.

Anyway, it doesn't do any harm on the panel except taking up name.

Ever since the battle in Qingzhou City, where he killed the two clones of the God of Wilderness, Li Hao had become alert. Although he was now in the realm of Taiping Dao, there was only one strong man in the Dayu Dynasty who could defeat him. Including those in secret, there might be no more than three.

But the two wild gods are both in the realm of Wen Dao!
However, they have been slow to attack the Dayu Divine Dynasty, and instead used these foreign demonic forces to contain it. If they had not taken action themselves this time, they would still be planning to hide in the dark.

If they really wanted to invade the Dayu Divine Dynasty, they only needed to kill that majesty and massacre the royal family. Then they could directly take over the dynasty, and then attack from the imperial capital to destroy the five great generals' palaces. This was the best route.

If the other party didn't do this, it's either because they are stupid or unable to do it.

Either the master from Qiandao Palace is too strong, or the power in the dark of Dayu Divine Dynasty makes them wary and they need external force to force it out.

And now, these two clones of the God of Wilderness have been killed by him, and they must regard him as a thorn in their eyes. The clones alone are so terrifying. If Li Hao meets the real body, he is not sure he can win. If he can continue to improve his strength, he will have more chances.

At this moment, as the secret manuals of martial arts were collected, those body-refining martial arts were no exception. Li Hao included them all in the panel.

The body-refining techniques are deduced from the eight-stage physical body path, and the middle and lower-grade techniques are deduced to the high-grade ones, and the high-grade ones are deduced to the ultimate skills, and then they are integrated with each other to create more high-grade techniques.

As the martial arts books were collected, a large amount of information flooded into Li Hao's mind, but with his current physique, he was able to digest it easily.

Dozens, hundreds, thousands of books!
As Li Hao wandered around, all the martial arts secrets in Lingyuan Pavilion were recorded on the panel.

Among these techniques, Li Hao discovered that most of them were actually more inclined towards refining the spirit and controlling objects.

There are not many body-building exercises, and the types of sword, boxing, knife and other techniques are also relatively small in number.

Li Hao had heard before that the five major divine generals' palaces each had their own strengths. The Li family learned a variety of things, the Xia family was more inclined to refining spirits, and the Wang family had strange skills and were good at cultivating incarnations and controlling puppet mechanisms.

When they were in the Divine Wandering Realm and the Fifteen Miles Realm, the Xia Family's people were generally stronger than those from other Divine Generals' Houses.

Their strongest spiritual training method is actually close to that of the royal family.

The same is true for the technique of controlling objects.

This made Li Hao feel pleasantly surprised and he felt that he had come to the right place.

As the books of spiritual cultivation techniques were collected and quickly digested by Li Hao's Seven-Section Dao of Control, the spiritual energy in his body slowly rose, and then faster and faster.

Li Hao immediately covered himself with the Dao Domain, isolating himself from the aura, and began to practice cross-legged here.

His soul appeared behind him, like a golden god of war, with flames burning all over his body and his soul condensed.

The top-notch soul-refining method of a big family can only refine the soul for twenty miles at most.

The royal family's top-notch soul-refining method is to refine the soul for thirty miles.

Li Hao originally possessed the three top soul-refining methods of the Li family, and with the help of Old Feng, he stole the royal family's first soul-refining method, and cultivated his soul to the level where he could travel fifty miles.

Now that he has cultivated to the fourth level, his spirit and soul have naturally become stronger and he can fly a hundred miles easily.

But this distance is enhanced by his Tao thoughts and the shaping of his soul when his realm is elevated. Apart from these improvements, his limit in the Divine Wandering Realm is still fifty miles.

In order to cultivate the Divine Wandering Realm to its limit, Li Hao guessed that it would take at least a hundred miles.

At this moment, as the books of spiritual cultivation techniques were being deduced, Li Hao practiced on the spot, his soul formed seals, and divine fire filled the air.

All of this was isolated by the Dao Realm, and even the temperature could not be transmitted out.

As he practiced, Li Hao's soul was constantly changing. He absorbed the moonlight power wandering between heaven and earth to refine his spirit and make up for the deficiencies.

The soul-refining technique is similar to the practice of demons absorbing and spitting out the essence of the sun and the moon, but most demons, except for those with special talents, can only absorb the moon's essence, because the moon's essence is soft and the sun's essence is fierce, which can easily burn the soul when absorbed. But now, with the improvement of the soul, Li Hao absorbs the power of the sun and the moon between heaven and earth at the same time, and the soul burns with scorching divine sun fire, emitting a terrifying aura.

With just a collision of souls, Li Hao can easily ignite the souls of others.

As the refinement of the soul continued to improve, the connection between the soul and the body became closer. In this rapid improvement, Li Hao had an illusion that perhaps if he cultivated the Divine Wandering Realm to the extreme, he could achieve eternal life as long as his soul was indestructible!

You know, under normal circumstances, when the physical body is destroyed, the soul is relatively fragile and needs to find something to possess as soon as possible, otherwise it will be exposed in the air for a long time and will be burned to death by the divine sun.

But now, Li Hao's soul absorbs the essence of the sun to practice, and he is no longer afraid of the burning of the divine sun.

for a long time.

With the integration of one spiritual cultivation technique after another, Li Hao's soul was improving rapidly. Li Hao felt that he had entered into a mysterious feeling, and his soul seemed to suddenly transform and be reborn from the old shell.

The originally golden flames on the soul behind him now all flowed into his body, and his soul turned completely red gold, giving off a solid feeling.

"This is……"

Li Hao opened his eyes, his heart moved, his soul burst out, rushed out of the Taoist realm, and flew straight out of the dome of Lingyuan Pavilion, standing in the sky.

Under the illumination of the sun and the moon, the soul was golden. It seemed a little illusory at first, but now it looked like a real golden body.

The soul suddenly exploded, then suddenly disappeared, escaping into an illusory place, which seemed to be a mezzanine in space.

Soon, the spirit reappeared.

Li Hao tried again and again, and suddenly realized that he had reached the pinnacle of the divine wandering realm. In addition to the various abilities that enhanced the power of the soul, the soul could exist for a long time even if the physical body died.

Moreover, the soul can travel through space cracks, which is a place that cannot be attacked by the Dao Heart Realm, unless the Taiping Dao Realm takes action and squeezes it out with the Dao Domain.

You know, this is an ability that only those in the Divine Wandering Realm possess, it is simply terrifying.

"Under the illumination of the sun and the moon, one can travel through the void and pass through cracks in the void..."

Li Hao looked thoughtfully and named this limit of the divine realm as Yuanshen.

At this moment, his soul has indeed transformed into something different from an ordinary soul. Li Hao feels that only when he is in a battle with equal strength will he be able to experience more benefits of wandering in the ultimate realm.

But for now, the fact that it can travel through the void and only the Dao Realm can force it out is already extremely exaggerated.

If he had mastered this ability in advance, he could just use his soul to travel back and forth to kill the enemies, and it would be difficult for those below the Taiping Dao realm to do anything to him.

You know, this is just the level that can be achieved in the Divine Wandering State.

Li Hao took back his soul and then continued to practice.

The practice of many soul-refining methods did not reach its limit after the soul was cultivated. Li Hao's soul continued to grow and become stronger under these soul-refining methods.

Li Hao had long known that there should be an end state after this extreme state.

That is the real limit.

But to touch it may be ten times more difficult than the extreme point.

The extreme realm is already extremely difficult, and not many of the geniuses of the ancient holy clan can reach it, let alone the final realm.

time flies.

After a long time, Li Hao's soul finally stopped practicing, and the improvement of his soul by many techniques had reached the extreme.

Li Hao let his soul fly out of Lingyuan Pavilion and appeared outside the city in a blink of an eye. He then crossed the mountains and rivers, flying under the sun and the moon. The scorching sun that could burn his soul before now bathed his body and only felt warm.

The power of the sun's essence is more condensed and more powerful than the moon's essence. It is absorbed by the soul and continuously nourishes it.

“I heard that only some of the ancient demon kings with extraordinary talents are naturally able to swallow and exhale the sun’s essence, while other races, even most of the dragon race, can only absorb the moon’s essence to practice.”

Li Hao thought to himself that the flying speed of the Yuanshen was much faster than that of the real body, which meant that he could use his spirit to kill most of the enemies quickly without his real body having to move.

After wandering for four or five hundred miles, Li Hao felt a little cold. The connection between his soul and his body became weak. It was a wonderful feeling. When his body felt cold, the world around him seemed to change as well, as if sea water emerging from reality and illusion was washing over his body.

Continuing to move forward is like walking towards the depths of the sea that seems real and illusory. Once you get lost, it will be extremely terrifying.

"The soul alone cannot completely get rid of the physical body." Li Hao said in his heart.

His soul began to return.

Hundreds of miles flew by quickly. After returning to his original body, Li Hao stretched his body slightly and then continued his practice.

This time it’s the method of controlling objects.

The Fifteen-Li Realm got its name because the mind and spirit control objects, covering a distance of fifteen miles in one breath.

This is the limit for most people without background.

And fifteen miles in one breath is also the speed of a full-strength attack, and it is not the normal speed. For example, if you are traveling fifteen miles, you can burst out with all your strength and control objects fifteen miles away, but it is only a short burst two or three times in a row, and you may be exhausted.

The Royal Method of Controlling Objects, however, can be practiced to a range of twenty-five miles.

The other top-notch skills are twenty miles.

Although there is only a difference of five miles between fifteen miles and twenty miles, it is a qualitative change when fighting and killing the enemy.

What does five miles mean? The opponent might be killed before he even makes a move.

This is also the reason why the strong ones with royal bloodline can command all parties. In the realm of fifteen miles, the royal's twenty-five-mile speed of controlling objects can almost easily kill other beings in the same realm in seconds.

Li Hao had originally practiced to the level of forty miles, but after absorbing a lot of skills in the Tianji Tower, he reached the level of eighty miles.

Now that my realm has been elevated and my spirit has been strengthened, my speed in controlling objects has become even faster.

With the integration of many object-controlling techniques, Li Hao's soul flew out again, picked up a grain of dust on the ground outside Lingyuan Pavilion, covered it with power, and controlled it for hundreds of miles.

As the speed of controlling objects continued to increase and his comprehension of controlling objects continued to deepen, Li Hao gradually began to feel the wonderful meaning of controlling objects.

No matter how fast you control objects, it is not as good as traveling through the void.

And when the speed reaches its limit, it seems to be able to tear through the void and travel through space.

……

……

Two days later, Li Hao walked out of Lingyuan Pavilion.

Xia Linglong didn't know how long Li Hao would stay, so after sending Li Hao to Lingyuan Pavilion, she didn't wait outside. After all, as the head of the Xia family, she still had a lot of things to deal with.

Especially in Youzhou, although the Lord of the Gluttony Valley has been killed and the remaining demons have been slaughtered or driven away, the cities that were originally destroyed by the demons need to be rebuilt, and many civilians have been killed and injured, and they all need to be comforted and helped.

When Xia Linglong was busy, she received the news that Li Hao was getting married, and she was stunned.

"It's only been two days since you came out?"

Xia Linglong was surprised, and then thought that Li Hao might have read all the top skills and memorized them in his mind, so it was normal that he didn't practice them here.

She immediately dropped what she was doing and went to greet him.

When Li Hao saw the head of the family, he exchanged a few words of greeting, expressed his gratitude, and prepared to leave.

"General Haotian, my Xia family has two demon kings. Although they are not as powerful as the master of the Taixu Realm, they are good at guarding the gate for you. You can go and take a look."

Xia Linglong invited.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Master Xia, you don't have to be so polite. I've already taken advantage of you to be able to see Lingyuan Pavilion. I'll leave the demon king to Master Xia to kill the enemy."

Xia Linglong looked at Li Hao and saw that he was not pretending to shirk responsibility. She couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. After all, he was the Demon King. Even though Li Hao couldn't use him, it didn't mean that he was useless.

Upon learning that Li Hao was leaving, everyone in the Xia family saw him off again.

Li Hao took Ren Qianqian, Zhuhuoshen, and Xiyan who crawled back onto his wrist as soon as possible, said goodbye to the Xia family, and left Youzhou.

Before leaving, Li Hao left two chess pieces to the Xia family, saying that they could be used as his battle flags.

These two chess pieces were marked with power injected by Li Hao. The sword energy sealed inside had its own Dao domain rules. Even a master at the ultimate realm could be easily killed, and a master at the Taiping Dao realm would also be severely damaged.

When Li Hao explained the functions of these two chess pieces to Xia Linglong, Xia Linglong immediately felt the heat.

He was stunned and shocked by Li Hao's methods, and was even more grateful for Li Hao's gift.

Although the Xia family is the residence of a divine general and is extremely glorious, but due to the difficulties in Youzhou and the appearance of the avatar of the God of Wilderness outside Qingzhou City, they all have a premonition that the Great Yu Dynasty will face great challenges in the future.

Now that I can obtain such precious power, it is tantamount to a great favor.

Compared to Xia Linglong's numerous thanks, for Li Hao, it was just a payment to Lingyuan Pavilion.

After all, the gains this time were enormous. Both the Divine Wandering Realm and the Fifteen Miles Realm had broken through to their limits as desired, and they had mastered the extreme states!
In addition, other skills have greatly improved Li Hao's swordsmanship, boxing, body training and other aspects, further enhancing his strength.

Except for the four realms of martial arts, the seven realms of martial arts in front of him have all reached their limits.

……

Half a day later, Li Hao returned to Tianmen Pass. As soon as he arrived here, he felt an extremely sinister aura emerging in the city.

This aura was not concealed at all, neither arrogant nor restrained, but just exuded naturally, which made Li Hao's eyes narrow slightly, a little surprised.

When the soldiers in the city saw Li Hao returning, they hurried forward to report.

Li Hao said that he already knew it, and then took the Candle God back to the small courtyard.

In the courtyard, there was a figure with disheveled hair, sitting in the place where Li Hao used to drink tea, drinking by himself.

His clothes were torn and there were two broken iron chains and shackles on his hands.
