The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 536: Acceptance of Wendaoshan
At this time, at the foot of the Daodao Mountain, except for Li Hao, only a small number of disciples from various immortal dynasties who set out later were still staying here.

But soon, they all defeated the Tao realm incarnations that they reflected and climbed up quickly.

Only Li Hao stayed here, still making his moves slowly and calmly.

After all, compared with the split-second victory in sword fighting, chess obviously requires more effort.

Countless people looked at this scene in astonishment. While the geniuses of various dynasties in the Southern Region were slaying the incarnations of the Dao Realm and rushing to the top of the mountain, the young man sat alone at the foot of the mountain, quietly playing a game of chess.

"What is that brat doing? Why is he so slow?"

When Li Tiemu saw this scene, he became anxious from his previously calm appearance.

Although he knew that Li Hao's heart of Tao was extremely strong, with the Buddha's Heart-Searching Tower as a test, Li Hao's heart of Tao was an eternal heart of Tao, which was more than enough to reach the Forgetful Heart Palace on the mountainside, but he was not sure whether he could climb to the top.

If you fail to reach the top and exceed the quota, you will be eliminated!

"He also knows chess?"

Beside him, the Great Dream Master was also stunned.

She knew that in addition to cultivation, Li Hao was also proficient in painting, and that he gained enlightenment through painting and realized other realms of Tao.

But unexpectedly, in addition to painting, Li Hao also studied chess, so much so that the Dao Mountain even reflected the incarnation of the Dao realm.

This is enough to show that Li Hao’s attainments in chess are not low!
She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses when she heard Li Tiemu's anxious voice beside her. A trace of worry appeared in her eyes, but she was outside the court at the moment and couldn't even send her voice to Li Hao's ears, so there was no way she could urge him.

However, she knew about Li Hao's level of Taoism from Old Man Li, and felt that there was still a great hope for him to reach the top, and he would not be eliminated even if he fell behind in time.

“Interesting chess.”

At this time, high in the sky, the Emperor of Chu and other emperors of various dynasties also noticed Li Hao's strange behavior.

Compared with other disciples, this young man's behavior was too eye-catching. He had a unique and transcendent temperament, different from other practitioners.

The Emperor of Chu was good at chess and liked playing chess. He would usually drag the old boy Yuan Xinggang and the rough guy Shangguan Hong to play chess together. The chess skills of the two of them became more and more advanced during the long years of playing against him.

At this moment, he saw that the young man's chess skills were actually not bad.

Although he was not as good as them, but in this realm, he had never seen any young genius with such good chess skills.

"He's a good chess player."

Emperor Jiang at the side said with a smile, he was also quite knowledgeable about chess, he did not expect that there would be such an alternative guy among the younger generation, he could not help but look at him with admiration.

Although chess is a minor art and cannot be compared with the Nine Sequences, swords and other fighting arts, it is not bad to use it to cultivate one's mind in spare time.

"It's still at the planning stage. A true chess game should be a natural one, with moves made naturally, rather than a deliberate one."

In front of him, the majestic Heavenly Palace Supreme also revealed a faint smile in his eyes at this time, and said: "But at his age, he can reach such a realm after practicing, which is already a top chess posture."

Hearing the Supreme's comments and praises, the emperors of other immortal dynasties could not help but be slightly moved.

They had no prejudice against the art of chess, but they felt that with the young man's talent, he should focus more on practicing.

In a sect in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty.

"Hao'er..."

A figure in a green robe was sitting on the top of the mountain, also playing chess. Opposite him was a good friend he made in the sect, with whom he shared the same interests.

The two of them were playing the game casually while looking at the battle between the geniuses of the Southern Region reflected in the sky. However, the gaze of the figure in green robe stayed on the young man and he had no time to make another move.

"Lao Feng, is that kid really your friend? His soul lifespan is so short, yet he still has the energy to play chess. What a waste of time!"

Across from him, the old man in a gray robe and with a red nose couldn't help but exclaim.

The old man in green robe laughed and said, "He always does this. How can it be called a waste of time? As long as he feels happy, it is not a waste!"

The old man in the grey robe and with the rosacea was stunned. He chewed on these words carefully and couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "Great!"

"A mortal's life is but 30,000 days. Whether you strive to make it or go with the flow, make friends everywhere, make money for business, become rich, serve as an official in the court, and have great power, in the end, you will all turn into a handful of yellow earth, and be buried in the earth like all the common people in the world. What's the difference?"

The old man in green robe smiled and said, "Only when you make yourself happy can you be considered to be truly alive."

"Lao Feng, you are more free and easy than me. I am ashamed of myself."

The old man in gray robe and red nose couldn't help but sigh, with a bit of admiration in his eyes.

That being said, being able to be so carefree from the heart is another level of realm, and he finds it difficult to do so.

"These are the words that the child once said."

The old man in green robe looked at the unique young man at the foot of the mountain, his eyes shining with strong nostalgia and longing.

"he?"

The old man in a grey robe and with a red nose was stunned. He looked at the young man reflected in the clouds. With a short soul lifespan of less than a hundred years, how could he have such understanding?
"What level of Dao heart is that child at?"

He couldn't help but ask.

The green-robed old man shook his head slightly, "If you cling to your heart of Tao, you won't get very far."

The old man in gray robe and red nose was stunned, and he felt as if his head was buzzing and vibrating.

In the various immortal dynasties in the Southern Region, countless people are arguing about Li Hao's actions at this moment.

"His soul lifespan is so young, yet he can come to the Southern Region to fight. This shows that he is extremely talented. Yet, he doesn't practice well, but instead studies this unorthodox way!"

"This is such a waste of talent. Doesn't his sect care about him?"

"Perhaps for others, playing chess is also a form of cultivation. Mother, you see that the geniuses are all playing chess. It is normal for me to go to Miss Qingluan to practice dual cultivation tomorrow, right?"

"He is extremely talented and willful, so what? He is still better than others. Don't forget that he was ranked ninth on the Dao Fire Ranking!"

"If you can practice dual cultivation to the point where you can participate in the Southern Region Battle, not to mention Blue Luan, Red Luan and Green Luan are all possible!"

Amidst all the controversy, at the foot of the mountain, the game of chess had already come to an end.

This game of chess was not long. After all, the incarnation of Taoism reflected at the foot of the mountain had a similar chess style to Li Hao, but his chess skills were still a little worse.

"It's about to end."

Li Hao looked at the difficulty of the opponent's chess moves. Although the opponent was a shadow, Li Hao seemed to read the opponent's solemn expression from the dark facial outline.

He smiled, but not with the joy of victory, but rather with a feeling of nostalgia.

It was like the other person took him back to the past and experienced it again.

"Wait until we reach the top of the mountain. If we can still see the chess path, we'll play another game."

Li Hao said, and then placed a piece, completely blocking the opponent's retreat.

On the opposite side, the incarnation of Tao Realm heard Li Hao's words and saw the falling piece. The black piece on his fingertips slowly fell down, trembled twice on the chessboard, and then turned into a drop of ink and merged into the chessboard.

"I lost. I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain."

The incarnation of Taoism stood up and bowed slightly to Li Hao to admit defeat.

Then, he waved his hand, and the chessboard and chess pieces returned to his hands, merged with his body, and then turned into a ball of ink-like smoke and dissipated in front of Li Hao's eyes.

Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned and couldn't believe it.

Previously, the geniuses of various immortal dynasties rushed forward and killed the incarnations of the Dao Realm. Only on Li Hao's side, the incarnation of the Dao Realm actually bowed and admitted defeat. The two sides seemed to be very peaceful.

"He won?"

"The Dao Realm Incarnation actually admitted defeat? If you can't play chess, you can still compete with fists and feet!"

"It's no use winning. He's far behind. The people in front have already arrived at the Forgotten Heart Palace!"

"By the time he climbs up, the quota will probably be full. He's the last one!"

"What a pity! He is ranked ninth on the Dao Fire Ranking and has the shortest soul lifespan. Is he going to be eliminated in the second trial?"

"Is he going to make it to the final battle? I want to see how he performs in the battle!"

Someone saw that dozens of people had gathered at the Wangxin Palace on the mountainside, and others were also chasing after them. If Li Hao could climb quickly, there would still be some hope. If he was delayed for a while, he would probably miss out on the chance!
"Kid, speed up!"

Li Tiemu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and encouraged Li Hao secretly, wishing he could rush up and push Li Hao away.

The other elders of Yuan also looked nervous when they saw this scene. Although there were three Immortal King Realm disciples including Yin Jingcheng and Su Yechen from Qiang Yuan, they were assigned to a group of Immortal King Realm disciples. Compared with other monsters, their performance was only mediocre.

However, Li Hao's performance in the True Immortal Group was particularly eye-catching. If Dameng Jiuyuan wanted to become famous, it mainly depended on Li Hao's performance. At this time, at the foot of the Dao Mountain, Li Hao saw the Dao Realm incarnation dissipate, but he did not stop and quickly climbed up along the steps.

He sprinted all the way, but soon, when he arrived at a flat pavilion behind hundreds of steps, the incarnation of the Tao realm appeared beside him again.

Soon, an incarnation of the Dao realm similar to the previous one appeared. Li Hao looked at the other party, wondering what kind of Dao realm origin it was.

But at this moment, the incarnation of the Dao realm suddenly raised his hand and splashed a ball of ink cloth into the void.

Li Hao felt the familiar aura of the Tao from the other party and was immediately surprised. This time it was still not the Nine Sequences, but the Tao of Painting!

"A contest of painting techniques..."

Li Hao was a little surprised, but did not refuse. Although he could use swordsmanship to directly split the incarnation of the Dao realm and pass through it directly, the trial in Mount Dao lasted for three days, which was still plenty of time.

"How about using this mountain as a painting?"

At this time, the incarnation of Tao realm spoke, and his voice was exactly the same as Li Hao's.

Li Hao took a look at the Asking Dao Mountain and nodded. He had drawn the Divine Tree of the Origin of Space before, but this Asking Dao Mountain contained extraordinary power and was no simpler than the Divine Tree of the Origin of Space.

It can even be compared with the sacred tree of the origin of time.

After all, he hadn't even sensed how the incarnation of this realm appeared and disappeared. If he were to paint a picture, he would not be able to depict this level at all.

Seeing that Li Hao agreed, the incarnation of Taoism immediately came aside and began to concentrate on painting.

Li Hao raised his head and looked at Wendao Mountain.

However, at this moment, he was standing in the mountain and could not see the whole picture.

Before the trial, I had seen the entire Wenda Mountain, but it was just a superficial appearance.

“The way of painting is not in its entirety, but in its spirit.”

Li Hao raised his hand, condensed his immortal power, used his fingers as a brush tip, and began to paint in the void.

This scene once again made countless people in the various immortal dynasties in the Southern Region excited.

He was playing chess before, but now he is painting? ! !
"What is he doing? Why are his Dao Realm incarnations all so weird?"

"Painting? Besides studying chess, he actually has the energy to study the art of painting?!"

"Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, is he proficient in everything? Was he a scholar before?"

Countless people expressed shock, disbelief, and incomprehension.

As a top genius, he does not cherish his time to practice hard, but instead studies unorthodox methods and wastes his time. This is simply unreasonable.

"To be able to reflect the incarnation of the Dao realm on the Dao Mountain, the Dao of Painting is definitely not as simple as simply learning it, but one must have comprehended the Dao realm. How much effort must have been put into it!"

"I haven't even started swordsmanship yet, but he has already mastered painting?"

Countless practitioners were stunned and felt that this world was a little crazy.

"Just now, the Chess Saint Master said that his chess skills are close to Master's. Now, could his painting skills also reach this level?"

Amidst all the exclamations of shock, Emperor Chu and other emperors of various immortal dynasties in the sky were also surprised.

It was already surprising that Li Hao had mastered the art of chess, and now he is even delving into the art of painting. This is a bit of a deviation in his side job.

"His paintings have verve and contain the power of the origin of space. They are not simple."

The original empress commented with a gleam in her eyes. She also liked painting on weekdays, but she only did it to cultivate her sentiments and as a hobby in her spare time.

"It seems that this child's talent is far greater than we thought."

"Back then, we didn't seem to have such amazing performances."

The eyes of other emperors also became solemn. Although Li Hao was not doing his job properly, this further proved that Li Hao had a terrifying talent.

Even if Li Hao was defeated and eliminated in the battle in the Southern Region, his talent is there and he will surely become a dominant king in the future.

"Painting Path..."

When the Great Dream Master saw the incarnation of the Dao Realm, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly.

She was both surprised and aware that this was reasonable. Previously in the Langya Painting Realm, she had already known that Li Hao's painting skills were at a very high level.

"What is he doing? Still painting? Just chop down that Dao Realm incarnation with one sword!"

Beside him, Old Man Li was extremely anxious. He saw that the number of people gathered on the mountainside had suddenly increased to hundreds, and the large group behind them were catching up.

At this moment, Li Hao was still in the first pavilion. There was another one behind it. It would be too late to reach the Wangxin Palace.

“If the Forget Heart Palace on the mountainside requires a Chaos Dao Heart, then an Eternal Dao Heart should be able to reach the top.”

Seeing that Li Tiemu was anxious, Lord Dameng whispered to comfort him.

However, although she had such speculation in her heart, there was still some worry in her eyes.

After all, Li Hao's success or failure is of great importance. It would be a pity if he failed in the second trial.

At this time, in the secret realm, Li Hao was painting a hazy mountain shadow.

The mountain is illusory, but the steps in the mountain are extremely clear, and those steps contain the rhythm of Taoism, which is vivid in the painting and seems to make people feel it.

However, the incarnation of Taoism next to him drew the entire Mount Wendao.

"In this painting contest, Haotian seems to be losing. His mountain is too fake!"

“No, although his mountain is real, the steps seem real, and the incarnation of the Dao Realm painted the whole picture. Although it has its appearance, it lacks the charm of the Dao Mountain!”

In each immortal dynasty, some people who were at a lower level but had made great research in the art of painting began to comment.

Others nearby also asked them about how Li Hao fared in the contest with the incarnation of the Dao Realm. In an instant, he became the focus of attention around them. They were quite pleased and began to talk about it enthusiastically.

Soon, Li Hao and the incarnation of Dao Realm stopped writing.

The incarnation of Tao Realm looked at Li Hao's painting. He was obviously stunned for a moment and then fell silent.

Li Hao also looked at the Wendao Mountain he drew and couldn't help but sigh that it was indeed a sacred mountain with great spiritual power and magnificence.

"I lost."

The incarnation of Tao Realm whispered, then raised his hand and put away his painting.

Li Hao nodded, "Thank you."

The incarnation of Tao Realm said nothing more and disappeared into thin air.

Li Hao glanced at his painting, pasted it on the pavilion nearby, and chuckled, "Since you are here, I will leave a humble work here. Please don't despise it when you look at the sacred mountain."

He was just saying it casually, but after he finished speaking, the painting he had pasted on the pavilion suddenly and slowly seeped into the pavilion and disappeared.

Li Hao was stunned, then his eyes widened slightly. At this moment, he was more convinced that this Wendao Mountain was not a dead object, but some kind of terrifying imperial weapon, or a natural divine object that already had spiritual consciousness.

The painting disappeared, as if it was accepted by Daoshan Mountain. Li Hao felt quite honored and continued to walk up the stairs.

“The painting disappeared!”

At this time, countless people saw this scene and were stunned.

Soon, someone exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that the painting was taken by Daoshan?"

"It must be so. It has long been said that the Dao Mountain is a divine object of the Xiantian Dao level. If that is true!"

"Wendaoshan actually recognized his paintings. Is that young man's painting skills so strong?!"

"How long has he been studying the Dao of Painting? His soul life span is only 96 years, how can that be enough? How many years has he actually practiced?!"

Countless people were shocked and had a deeper impression of the young man.

"Wendaoshan actually accepted his things. In all these years, no one has ever painted for Wendaoshan, right?"

High in the sky, Emperor Chu's eyes moved slightly and he said with a smile.

The Sky Supreme in front looked calm and said nothing.

The other emperors were all surprised, with some sigh in their eyes. Even they might not be recognized by this Dao Mountain. After all, this Dao Mountain had helped the Supreme to achieve the Emperor's Heart of Heaven and Earth, which was extremely extraordinary.
