Li Dao landed behind Shi Hao, glanced at the crumpled imperial edict, found it somewhat amusing, but still spoke calmly.
"Fellow Daoist, this..."
Qin Chi was about to say something more, intending to let the matter drop, when Li Dao's voice came again: "What? Is Immortal Mountain going to break the rules again?"
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, some people's faces turned grim, but they still knelt on one knee in the passageway:
"Our ancestral master is eternally holy, his divine body will last forever."
Once someone started, the rest of the people knelt down one after another, making a continuous thud. Their faces were flushed, and their voices were barely audible.
Li Dao glanced at Qin Chi, noticing his conflicted expression and the fact that he had already knelt down when Li Dao's gaze fell upon him, and said calmly:
"Let's go."
Qin Chi straightened his slightly bent knees instantly, not daring to say anything more, for fear of causing any further trouble.
"Let the ground cool down," Shi Hao said calmly, but the disciples of Immortal Mountain swayed involuntarily.
With his head down, he dared not look at the two again and immediately made way for them, only able to watch their backs slowly disappear at the end of the bluestone road.
After the two left, Qin Li roared:
"This is outrageous! Let's go! We volunteer to have the Ancestor kill them all!"
"This is absolutely outrageous! How dare they act like this in the Bulao Mountain! Who gave them the courage?"
Qin Shoucheng, who had a grudge against Shi Hao, and Qin Chao and others also looked extremely ugly.
Li Dao and Shi Hao, oblivious to the commotion behind them, nodded occasionally as they looked at the surrounding scenery.
Auspicious beasts often cry out, the air is ancient and desolate, precious herbs are everywhere on the road, and the essence is like mist, with runes constantly flashing on the rocks.
Every aspect and every corner showcases the style that Bulaoshan should have.
"Is that a drop of Purple Mansion Elixir? Would you mind if I washed my face?"
"mind!"
"That's golden horn root, right? Can I dig up one?"
"cannot!"
"..."
Along the way, Shi Hao was like a curious child, looking around and stirring up Qin Chi's emotions.
Even Li Dao, who was walking ahead, could feel the rage that Qin Chi was about to unleash beside him.
Qin Chi now understood the power of the 'brat'; even his composure was almost broken.
He kept asking all sorts of questions and would occasionally come over to tease her. If Li Dao hadn't been there, he would have already lost his temper and attacked!
Fortunately, the three of them arrived at their destination in no time.
A magnificent, ancient, and weathered hall came into view.
The three large characters of "Divine King's Palace" exuded an indescribable aura, and Li Dao also felt a strong sense of the will of all living beings, suggesting that this place was a place of worship.
"Shi Hao, the person who wants to see you has not arrived yet, please wait here for a moment."
Qin Chi spoke, then turned his gaze to Li Dao, his voice becoming much more earnest:
"Fellow Daoist has arranged a place for you, please follow me."
Li Dao glanced at Shi Hao.
"Senior brother is fine, nothing will happen to him, you can go ahead."
Li Dao nodded upon hearing this, without asking any further questions. Shi Hao had his own confidence, and then left the Divine King Palace with Qin Chi.
The two did not walk for long before they came to a peach grove.
The peach blossoms were in full bloom, and Li Dao followed Qin Chi to a side hall in the forest.
Li Dao found the scenery here quite beautiful, and he was fairly satisfied with the Five Elements Mountain behind the ancient temple.
"Fellow Daoist, please rest for now. Just give the servants any instructions you may have."
After seeing Qin Chi off, Li Dao sat cross-legged inside the ancient hall and summoned Tianhuang.
Upon entering the Immortal Mountain, Tianhuang trembled violently. As soon as Li Daogang took it out, a voice slowly drifted over:
"I sensed a familiar aura, a very subtle one, but I could feel the pulse of my master's blood."
Li Dao nodded, knowing that Tianhuang was referring to Kunpengzi.
“I understand. It is rumored that an immortal being is suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain, which must be related to this.”
"However, there are too many spies in the shadows right now, so let's wait a while until they relax before we sneak into Five Elements Mountain at night."
Tianhuang trembled slightly, which could be considered an answer.
The cultivators who were secretly watching Li Dao felt somewhat relieved to see that he stayed in his room without leaving, and that the essence of heaven and earth was flowing into the ancient hall.
"Such rich spiritual energy is something I've probably never seen outside. Even if someone is very strong, they're still just an ignorant bumpkin."
"Heh, just keep an eye on him. It's a pity we can't see the excitement on Shi Hao's side. It must be quite a sight right now."
Chapter 248 Breaking into the Five Elements Mountain
"You want to imprison me in this valley? Were my parents also imprisoned by you?" Shi Hao's gaze was fixed on Qin Fa.
Shi Hao waited for a long time in the God King's Palace, during which time he dealt with some ignorant fellows and followed the Qin Clan Ancestor here.
Hearing that his parents were in the valley, he was naturally overjoyed, but upon hearing that the valley was a one-way street, he immediately saw through Qin Fa's thoughts.
"It's not imprisonment, it's training. Do you know that the outside world is flawed and its laws are incomplete? If you continue to cultivate like this, it will be extremely harmful to the cultivator."
"This place is close to the Five Elements Mountain. The Great Dao is not lacking in the valley, and the laws are perfect. One can cultivate a perfect Dao embryo and will surely be able to reach the pinnacle in the future."
Shi Hao frowned. He kept saying he was doing it for his own good, but he was evasive about wanting to see his parents, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"I am the Stone Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, how can I remain here to cultivate!"
Qin Fa seemed to have anticipated this, stroking his beard and smiling:
"It's alright. You may not know this, but you have a younger brother who is exceptionally talented. At the age of thirteen, he already shows signs of invincibility. If you cultivate here, you can have him take over the Stone Kingdom on your behalf."
Shi Hao's heart was filled with turmoil. Seeing that Qin Fa did not seem to be faking it, he felt a strange pang of sadness, even though he had heard Qin Fa mention that he had a supreme younger brother.
But hearing Qin Fa's words in person still left me quite unsettled.
“I have a… younger brother…” Shi Hao murmured.
“Like father, like son. He is your younger brother, with unparalleled talent. What’s wrong with him taking over the throne of Shi Kingdom in your place?” Qin Fa continued to persuade him from the side.
"Is it your younger brother who wants it? Or do you all want this Stone Emperor's throne?" Shi Hao was lost in thought for a moment, then stared at Qin Fa and asked, word by word.
Qin Fa paused slightly as he stroked his beard, his expression stiffening for a moment under that intense gaze, but he quickly regained his composure.
He slowly spoke to Shi Hao:
"It's your brother's wish, why should we distinguish between 'yours' and 'mine' among family? You can nurture your perfect Dao embryo here, while your brother gains more experience outside. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"I think you also hope to enjoy the warmth of family here."
Shi Hao lowered his eyelids slightly, naturally noticing the evasiveness in the other person's eyes, and his voice involuntarily became lower as he said:
"You covet the throne of the Stone Emperor, yet you use kinship as leverage. How utterly shameless!"
"You keep saying you're doing this for my own good, but it's just to control me better. Do you really think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Qin Fa narrowed his eyes as he saw Shi Hao, who exuded an icy aura. His divine power began to circulate slowly within him, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
At that moment, a maid brought tea. Shi Hao instantly made a move, swooping down like a vermilion bird, grabbing the maid and touching her forehead with his hand.
Memories flooded back: two years ago, there was a battle here, and I saw the figure of my one-armed grandfather, Shi Zhongtian.
They are currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin Clan's Venerable One, and the terrifying aftershocks of the battle are shaking the entire Immortal Mountain.
After clarifying the cause and effect, Shi Hao's expression suddenly changed, and he roared:
"How dare you bully my family!"
Shi Hao roared, his anger rising, and a powerful aura erupted from him.
In the ten-mile peach forest, the evening breeze gradually rises, and the night sky embraces the Milky Way. Li Dao slowly opens his eyes, his gaze cold, and slowly gets up as he senses the explosion coming from the depths of the Immortal Mountain.
"The conflict broke out so quickly. The people of Bulaoshan really can't wait a moment longer."
With a shake of his head, he took a step forward, and ripples spread through the space in front of him, directly engulfing his body.
On an ancient tree outside the peach grove, the three leaned against the trunk, also drawn by the commotion from Shi Hao's side.
"What's going on here? Why is it so lively?"
"I don't know. Keep a close eye on that kid; something might go wrong!"
"Hey, now that he's in our Immortal Mountain, we can't let him continue to be arrogant. If he causes trouble, we'll just use the formation to refine him to death! The Ten Mile Peach Forest still needs fertilizer."
Li Dao's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He appeared above the three of them at some unknown time, and said in a calm voice:
"As expected of the Immortal Mountain, the entire peach grove is actually an ancient formation. What a skillful technique!"
"Being inside the formation yet unable to sense it, this ancient formation has some intricacies."
A chill ran down the spines of the three as the voice, like the whisper of a demon, burrowed into their ears. They looked up in horror:
"It's you!"
Seeing Li Dao standing in mid-air, appearing silently above his head, the hairs on his body stood on end.
Li Dao's eyes gleamed with a pale golden light as he stood on high ground, where the ancient peach blossom array before him was laid out before him in its entirety.
"Charge!"
The three roared, and the divine power of the three arrayed cultivators surged like a tidal wave. Array patterns filled the sky, and a huge peach blossom sword appeared in mid-air, slashing towards Li Dao.
"The sword falls from the heavens, cutting down the weeds!"
Li Dao raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a sword beam from a nine-leaf sword grass.
