The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 324: Fishing for the Son of God, Battle of the Top Sons of God (Two in One)

When all the skills collected in the Sword Tower were cultivated into Dao Domains, the number of Li Hao's Dao Domains reached 172!
Among them, there are hundreds of Dao domains, all of which are various sword domains!
Once unfolded, the Dao Domain was filled with sword energy. Now superimposed together, these Dao Domains that condensed different sword intents tended to merge with each other.

Li Hao didn’t know what kind of power and situation it would be if the Dao domains merged with each other and turned into a complete Dao domain.

Unfortunately, he has already collected all the skills in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land. If he wants to continue to improve, he can only look to other forces. His realm of Tao has once again fallen into a bottleneck.

After Li Hao finished his training, the runoff election began the next day.

Before the top 100 battle, there are three rounds of screening, and finally the top 100 are selected to fight against the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter.

Li Hao went there with alchemists such as Lin Shanhai, but he did not go to watch the battle this time. Now he has recorded all the skills in the sword tower, and he can only paint here to gain experience. But compared to painting, Li Hao has more suitable candidates, and he can also accumulate some fishing experience at the same time.

Li Hao noticed that except for the three semi-saints including Yao Zu, the several saints and saintesses who had watched the battle before did not come again.

Before they set off, Lin Qingying was sitting in the yard practicing sword skills, apparently preparing for the upcoming battle.

Although the battle in front of the ten rings was fierce, Li Hao felt a sense of calm before the storm.

It’s just that in this storm, I don’t know who can stir up the situation and stand out.

Li Hao hoped it was Lin Qingying.

……

Arriving at the sword tower, the environment was quiet and deserted. When Li Hao approached, a figure appeared in front of him as if by teleportation. It was the sword servant from yesterday.

He was a little surprised to see Li Hao coming again, and asked, "Are you here to return your skills?"

The Great Sword Technique is extremely difficult, so it is understandable that Li Hao wants to replace him. After all, unless one has extremely profound talent in swordsmanship, it would be a waste of time to think about it.

"No, I came to visit the Sword Master. I wonder if the Sword Master is fishing today?"

Li Hao bowed.

The sword servant suddenly realized and said with a smile: "Master is fishing at Sword Cliff. It's rare that you understand this. It's a good opportunity for you to accompany Master. He is too lonely."

When he said this, a sigh appeared in his eyes.

Although these disciples wanted to accompany their master, their fishing skills were so poor that they were easily distracted while waiting for the fish to be hooked. Their minds turned to swordsmanship and they did not even notice that the bait had been eaten up. This made their master very angry and he did not allow them to accompany him.

When Li Hao and the sword servant arrived in front of the Sword Cliff, they saw the same scene as yesterday, the Sword Master was fishing on the edge of the cliff.

As if sensing something, the sword master's voice came: "You are here, do you have your own fishing rod?"

"I don't have a fishing rod. I fish by casting."

Li Hao said.

"Energy can be turned into a line. The little guys in the dragon pool below are very cunning. I'm afraid it won't be easy to take the bait." said the sword master.

"You'll know if you try it." Li Hao said with a smile. When it comes to fishing, he is not convinced.

"Then come and try it."

The sword master said.

Li Hao immediately stepped forward, came to a place not far from the Sword Master, picked up a brown-black stone and sat down.

Sitting on the edge of the Sword Cliff at this moment, his sight naturally leads to the depths of the cliff, which is surprisingly more than ten thousand feet deep.

At the bottom of the cliff, there was a splash of water from the waterfall and a deep pool with a huge black shadow swaying faintly in it.

Li Hao's eyes lit up slightly. He raised his hand and drew the energy into a line. Then he used the hidden line technique and quietly dropped the line.

The sword master glanced at Li Hao's technique, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. It seems that yesterday was not a coincidence. This little guy really studied it. Such an obscure hidden line technique, if used on himself, can be cultivated into a profound concealment technique.

But he has the leisure to devote this energy to fishing. There is no doubt that this is true love.

“You haven’t put up the bait yet.”

The sword master said calmly.

Li Hao smiled and said, "There is no bait to eat, so those who are willing will take the bait."

"Ok?"

When the Sword Master heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts couldn't help but divert a little from his fishing rod and fall on Li Hao's extremely obscure fishing line.

At this moment, Li Hao was also waiting intently.

Fishing may seem leisurely, but it is actually a process of fighting your mind and wits. You need to lie low, spy on the fish situation, and plan your fishing spots. It all requires a brain game.

At this moment, Li Hao's fishing line was hidden at the edge of the Dragon Pond, in the most inconspicuous position. At the front end of the line was a curved hook, looming.

"Old Five, look, is that a hook?"

"It seems like a fishing hook!"

In the dragon pond, several huge dragon monsters were wandering around inside. They all noticed the looming fishing hook, but what surprised them was that there was no line behind the fishing hook, only a hook!
"Is it the Sword Master? Is he here to fish again?"

"The Sword Master is not that stupid. He changed his method earlier and turned the fishing hook into a small fish, which tricked me into falling into the trap."

"I think so too. Could it have fallen down? When did it appear? Why didn't I notice it?"

"Sixth Brother, go pick it up and take a look."

Several dragon monsters were muttering and whispering. One of them approached, picked up the hook with its sharp claws, and said in confusion: "It really is a hook... Ah!"

Before the hook could finish its words, it suddenly rose up and pierced directly into his arm. Then the hook continued to extend into his wound like a root, piercing into his body and pulling him out of the deep pool!

"It hurts!"

The dragon demon screamed and was pulled into the air.

It was panicked and did not dare to struggle. After being pulled out of the deep pool, it saw the sword master and a strange boy sitting on the sword cliff. The one who was pulling it was not the usual sword master, whose pole had not moved yet, but the boy!
For a moment, in addition to the pain, it was more shocked and angry.

It’s okay for me to be lured by the Sword Master. After all, the other party is a saint, and he won’t lose the dragon even if he is lured.

But a teenager, why? !

Roar!
It roared and pounced towards Li Hao.

"Still struggling?" Li Hao smiled, pulled the string in his hand horizontally, threw the dragon monster away, and then pulled it in front of him.

The dragon monster felt as if its whole body was torn apart by a tearing pain, and it screamed in agony. When it was dragged to the Sword Cliff by Li Hao again, it was suddenly a little panicked. With the Sword Master present, it would be impossible for it to hurt the young man. Moreover, it seemed that the young man's cultivation was also very high, and it was impossible for it to defeat him.

"Holy Son, please spare my life, Holy Son, please spare my life..."

The dragon demon begged hurriedly, treating Li Hao as the holy son of the Sword Ancestor’s Holy Land.

Apart from the Holy Son, who else has the honor to fish with the Sword Master?

Li Hao found it funny to hear its plea. Looking at the fishing experience he had gained on the panel, he smiled. He retracted his fingers, and the fishhook that had extended into its body and taken root quickly retracted.

It is condensed from energy, and its gathering and dispersion are all determined by the heart.

"Since you have sincerely begged for mercy, I will reluctantly let you go."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Upon hearing this, the dragon demon's eyes were filled with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Holy Son, thank you, Holy Son!"

After saying this, he ran away and dived back into the deep pool under the Sword Cliff.

"Lao Liu..."

Several other dragon monsters quickly gathered around and looked him up and down: "Is it okay to hurt you? You just said you were the Holy Son?"

"Well, here comes a new Holy Son. Damn it!"

"How insidious! He deliberately exposed the hook for Lao Liu to pick up."

"Fortunately, the Sword Master is merciful and never kills us once we catch him. The bait is really delicious too. I can even cultivate the sword power."

Several dragon monsters whispered that they were imprisoned in the dragon pool by the Sword Master, but they were also happy to do so. After all, begging for food at the feet of a saint was a great opportunity.

But they often fall into the trap and are caught by the Sword Master for entertainment, which makes them feel both pain and pleasure.

"Be careful, don't pick up weird things anymore. We have to be on guard."

"The Sword Master is also fishing up there, but I haven't seen his bait. I don't know what disguise he's in. We have to be careful."

Several dragon monsters were very alert.

After competing with the Sword Master every day, they have become suspicious.

If it had turned into something else, they might not have picked it up, but the fact that it turned into a hook so easily made them curious, and they ended up taking the bait.

On the Sword Cliff, the Sword Master was speechless when he saw that Li Hao actually fished it out using such a simple trick.

Li Hao didn't stop, he reeled in the fishing line and threw the hook down again.

This time the line is still hidden and the hook is half hidden, but halfway along the line, a second line branches out and extends to another part of the Dragon Pond, inconspicuously.

"Look, the hook is down again."

"Humph, you've run out of tricks. Can we fall for the same trick twice?"

"Look, there's a stupid fish passing by and sniffing around there."

Several dragon monsters were wandering around, staring at the fishhook. There were other fish nearby. The lower reaches of the Dragon Pond connected to a river and sea outside the holy mountain. Some fish monsters were wandering here, trying to jump into the Dragon Gate.

The little fish monster looked very inconspicuous. When the fishhook was gently touched, the fishhook did not respond.

Several dragon monsters were surprised, but they soon realized that it was because the little fish monster touched them too lightly, so they couldn't sense it, or they sensed that it was a small one and were too lazy to make the hook.

"Go, pull hard!"

The old dragon demon, whose mouth had just been hooked, spoke fiercely to the little fish demon.

The little fish monster was timid and refused to go over.

The sixth dragon demon didn't expect that a small fish demon would dare to resist him. He became furious and sucked the fish demon into his mouth.

"die……"

Before he could vent his anger, the fish monster in his mouth suddenly became hard and quickly extended and pierced.

"hook?!"

Lao Liu’s eyes widened.

Then a huge force pulled it, and its body was lifted into the air again, being pulled up to the sword cliff thousands of feet high.

And the person pulling the strings is still Li Hao.

“Holy Son, please spare my life, Holy Son, please spare my life…” The dragon demon Ao Jie pleaded hurriedly.

Li Hao was somewhat helpless and said, "Why is it you again? Can't you be more careful?"

Ao Jie wanted to cry but had no tears. It was obviously you who were too insidious. Who would have thought that you could disguise yourself as a small fish and touch your own fishing hook.

Li Hao retracted the power in his palm and said, "Don't take the bait again."

I wanted to too... Ao Jie felt sad and angry, what was this? He took the bait and was still despised!

Next to him, the swordsman's hand holding the fishing rod shook slightly.

The indifference in his eyes became a little solemn at this moment.

The previous one was just luck and a trick, but the second one was a bit more sophisticated, and it was a chain fishing. The first one fished for curiosity, and the second one fished for anger. The other party fished for emotions, the demon heart!
At this moment, the Sword Master had to admit that Li Hao's fishing skills were indeed good.

Li Hao glanced at the sword master and then cast the line again.

The sword master felt a little uncomfortable with this look. In swordsmanship, he had already reached the pinnacle, lonely as snow, but in fishing, he was still a climber. Now he actually felt a sense of exchange and competition that he had not felt for a long time.

The sword master didn't say anything, but his expression became serious.

Not long after, Li Hao raised the club for the third time.

The one caught this time was still Ao Jie.

Li Hao felt like vomiting blood. Was this dragon monster 100% sure to be hooked?
If he fishes for the same prey, his fishing experience will only diminish, and he doesn't want to fish for this dragon monster again.

Can you give the chance to take the bait to someone else?

Li Hao stared at Ao Jie, wondering whether to put him back into the Dragon Pool.

Ao Jie was alerted by Li Hao's eyes, and immediately realized what Li Hao was thinking, and hurriedly pleaded:

"Holy Son, spare my life. I promise I won't move again. I will collapse in there. Even if the sky falls, I won't move again!"

After hearing this, Li Hao thought about it and decided to release it again.

Time passed for a long time, and when it came to the fourth stroke, Li Hao and the Sword Master raised their clubs at the same time.

Seeing Fei Ran's fishing experience, Li Hao immediately realized that he had not caught Ao Jie again.

However, when the two dragon monsters were lifted up, Li Hao still heard Ao Jie's voice, but it was on the sword master's fishing hook.

"Sword Master, please spare my life..."

Ao Jie's face was full of misery. How could he have sucked the hook into his mouth when he just sneezed?

Li Hao glanced at Ao Jie and was speechless. This dragon monster was really lucky to be alive until now.

The sword master didn't say anything. He took Ao Jie down and threw him back into the dragon pool, then cast the hook again.

Li Hao did the same and failed to kill the dragon monster.

Not long after that, the sword master was hooked one after another, and once he caught two dragons at once.

In front of the sword cliff, the wailing of dragon monsters could be heard from time to time, and in front of the holy mountain, the fierce second battle of the ten arenas was also continuing.

When the sun set, the Sword Master also put away his fishing rod. In the end, he still had a slight advantage over Li Hao, catching seven fish while Li Hao caught six.

"It's late today, come back tomorrow."

The sword master said to Li Hao with a rare smile on his face.

Today, this little guy actually made him feel a sense of urgency, which was a feeling he had not felt for a long time.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded.

In the following days, the second rounds of the ten arenas took turns competing, and Li Hao came to the Sword Cliff every day to accompany the Sword Master to fish.

Li Hao has almost become familiar with the several dragon monsters in the Dragon Pond.

That day, when Li Hao was fishing, another young man came outside.

The sword master saw the other party and chuckled, "You are here, sit down."

The young man had an upright posture but was dressed simply. A rusty and broken sword hung on his waist, and there was a sword mark on his forehead. He looked restrained.

When the other party saw Li Hao, a hint of surprise appeared in his calm and indifferent eyes. It was obvious that he didn't expect that there was someone else here besides himself.

He said nothing, walked to the edge of the sword cliff, took out a fishing rod from the space of heaven and earth, and immediately put bait on it, cast the line, and started fishing.

"This is the Holy Son Wuhen, he is Qingfeng."

While Jianzhu was fishing with his rod, he spoke casually to the two of them.

Li Hao and Qiu Wuhen looked at each other. Qiu Wuhen's eyes moved slightly. The name Qingfeng sounded a little familiar. Soon, he remembered who it was and nodded slightly to Li Hao as a gesture.

Li Hao nodded in return, and the three of them continued fishing in peace.

No one spoke, everyone was immersed in their own enjoyment.

As he continued to fish, Li Hao saw that there was a hint of sword in the fishing line of the Saint Wuhen.

The sword's intention bends freely and has a soft yet sharp feeling.

But the opponent's softness is somewhat different from Lin Qingying's extreme softness. They are two different sword techniques.

Li Hao thought of a sword manual in the ninth floor of the Sword Tower, the Thousand Silk Sword Rain Technique. It seemed that the other party was practicing this book.

When one practices to the highest level, one can condense thousands of sword threads that interweave like rain and can split space.

"Wuhen learned sword skills through fishing. You can try it in the future."

The Sword Master said to Li Hao: "Everything in the world can be used to comprehend one's own martial arts."

He knew that Li Hao had a very high level of comprehension and was extremely talented, so this could be considered a kind of guidance for his cultivation.

"Yeah." Li Hao nodded.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Qiu Wuhen, who had his brows lowered, moved his eyes slightly, and a hint of surprise arose in his heart. Would the Sword Master actually say this to an alchemist?
Could it be that in addition to alchemy, the other party also wants to show off his martial arts skills?

But trying to do both will inevitably result in nothing. After all, it is difficult for most geniuses to reach the top in a single martial art, let alone being distracted by other things.

He withdrew his thoughts and didn't think about it anymore, his eyes fixed on his fishing line.

……

After the second election, the third election will begin, which will last nearly half a month.

It was a two-on-one contest, with no defending, so the match became much slower.

Li Hao still comes to Jianya to fish every day. Occasionally, when the Sword Master is not there, only Li Hao and Qiu Wuhen are there.

On the tenth day after obtaining the Great Dao Sword Technique, Li Hao came to Yaochi Peak.

Seeing Li Hao going up the mountain, Jiang Yingyue rushed over and brought Li Hao to Yao Zu.

"Ten days have passed. How is your sword practice going? Show me your performance." Yao Zu sat upright on the holy platform, emitting a hazy and holy glow, and spoke softly to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded, picked up a sword from the sword rack next to him, and began to practice the Great Sword Technique.

However, he restrained his sword intent and sword momentum, including the charm of swordsmanship, and did not display the true level of sword techniques, otherwise the noise caused would be too loud and too shocking.

Despite this, his sword skills were as smooth as he wished, skillful and agile, and he still reached the level of dexterity.

There was surprise in Yao Zu's calm eyes. To be able to master such a difficult and obscure sword technique to such an extent in just ten days, it showed that he had great talent in swordsmanship!
Beside her, Jiang Yingyue was also shocked when she saw Li Hao display the Dao sword technique at the agility level. But when she thought that Li Hao had ninety-seven Dao realms, she felt relieved.

It seems that Li Hao's talent is higher than she thought. In addition to cultivation, his talent in swordsmanship is not inferior to hers!
You know, even she was not sure that she could practice the sword to such a dexterous and skilled level within ten days, unless she had the guidance of a semi-saint.

But Li Hao has not gone up the mountain in the past ten days.

"Did you realize it on your own, or did someone else teach you?"

Yao Zu waited for Li Hao to finish his practice, then stared at him and asked.

Li Hao noticed the surprise in Jiang Yingyue's eyes and wondered if he was overdoing it.

He immediately said honestly: "Qingying gave me some pointers."

Yao Zu understood and said, "Even if you get guidance, it is extremely rare for you to make such progress. Your talent in swordsmanship is enough to enter the inner sect. Are you willing to take me as your master?"

"This is a serious matter. I want to think about it more."

Li Hao said the excuse he had already thought of.

Yao Zu's eyes flickered. He heard the evasion in Li Hao's words and felt a little surprised. It was a rare thing for him to accept a disciple. In addition, given the environment of Yao Chi Peak, many male disciples dreamed of becoming a disciple at Yao Chi Peak.

However, Li Hao's refusal reminded her of the look in Li Hao's eyes when he painted her, which was clear and pure, without any lustful colors.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she admired Li Hao more and more, and said:
"It's okay. You can give me an answer anytime you think it through. I can wait for you!"

The last few words seemed to be pronounced with a heavier tone, which made Li Hao understand the other party's seriousness.

Li Hao felt ashamed. He originally borrowed the other party's warrant to go to the Sword Tower to collect martial arts techniques. He had no intention of becoming a disciple at all.

"it is good."

Li Hao nodded and decided that he would have to find another way to repay her in the future.

Jiang Yingyue was a little surprised to hear that Li Hao actually declined her master, but then she thought that with Li Hao's talent and the 97th level of Dao Realm, it is very likely that he has a strong background. Could it be that he already has a master?
She immediately understood and suddenly felt that the identity of Master Qingfeng seemed a little suspicious.

However, the Sword Master saw it and did not question it, so it was not my turn to meddle in this matter.

……

After bidding farewell to Yaochi Peak, Li Hao continued his daily fishing at Jianya.

Half a month passed quickly, and after a total of twenty days of screening, the top 100 list finally came out. The entire holy land was extremely lively, and countless disciples were in an uproar.

Being able to rank among the top 100 among so many geniuses is already a leader among people. If you are thrown into the first-rate forces outside, you will be treated like a personal disciple.

Everyone who makes the list quickly becomes known to everyone and their fame spreads.

As the top 100 battle list appeared, the battle platform on the top of the holy mountain was also built up.

In the next battle, the Son of God and the Holy Daughter will also participate, and they will be randomly paired. It is possible that two extremely powerful Sons of God will confront each other on the first day!

The loser will have the opportunity to challenge again, and the top 16 will be decided by a points system.

As the battle of the top 100 began, Lin Qingying, who had been practicing sword skills in the yard for many days, also stood up and headed for the holy mountain.

This time, Li Hao followed alchemists such as Lin Shanhai and still had a floating seat.

In addition to the millions of outer disciples in the viewing area below, the defeated inner disciples also came here to watch the battle. This was a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of the gap between them and the Holy Son and the Holy Daughter.

"Look, that's the Sword Master. The Sword Master himself has come."

On the top of the holy mountain, there are three high platforms, surrounded by magic circles.

When everyone arrived, a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back and dressed in pure white snow-white clothes slowly descended above the battlefield.

His figure was majestic, and the void where he was located seemed to be slightly fissioning, with countless sword shadows flashing.

Including its soft sleeves, it gives people a sharp and cutting feeling that cannot be looked directly at.

Li Hao stared intently. This is the strongest person in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, the Sword Saint!

There is no other prefix, just a simple two-word title, but it reveals the unique and supreme!
In addition to the Sword Saint who came in person, there were three more Semi-Saints including Yao Zu, each occupying a place in the air. None of them concealed their aura, and every part of their body was affected by their holy will, showing various strange phenomena.

Behind the Mountain Ancestor, there is a phantom like a towering giant peak reaching the sky.

Behind Yao Zu is a vague and illusory Yao Chi Holy Platform.

Behind the other semi-saints, some were emitting lightning, while others were condensing red flames, illuminating the void red.

Such a strong oppressive aura made the top 100 geniuses present hold their breath slightly. All the saints and holy daughters also came here, and their eyes were no longer as indifferent and casual as before, but extremely solemn.
