Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1016: Chapter 211: Ten Years of Guarding, Returning to the Holy Land (Asking for Monthly Passes at 13,000 More Updates!)

Two years later.

Li Hao’s understanding of the Carving Arts entered Dao, successfully breaking through to the Ninth Stage. The next advancement would be the Tenth Stage, the stage of Entering Saint.

Li Hao embedded the Carving Dao Heart he obtained from entering Dao at the Ninth Stage into the Body Path, enhancing his mastery of various movement techniques. In this regard, his movement is no longer a shortcoming. Combining it with Returning Ruins Extreme Realm, it reaches the competence level of a Three Calamities Saint.

If he can reach Body Technique Tenth Rank, it would be incredible. Even a Supreme Saint might not achieve this, as only a few Supreme Saints’ movement techniques reach the Sacrificial Dao standard.

After all, these Supreme Saints have lived for so long that they can fill in their weaknesses in other areas, even if it takes thousands of years.

Over the past two years, more Ancient Demons have come to invade, but they are all Third Rank Ancient Demons, wandering here.

When they detect the Mystical Gate, it’s the moment Li Hao lists them on his death list.

The Ancient Demon corpses collected earlier remain uneaten over these two years. Li Hao estimates they’ll last at least three to five more years.

As the guardians haven’t arrived, Li Hao considered stepping out onto the Ancient Road to check the outside situation. But due to such anomalies, encountering another Ancient Demon Commander outside might leave him with no chance to escape.

After all, the Ancient Demon Commander’s perception range is superior to his. By the time he senses the opponent, he’s already under their nose, easily extinguished with a flick.

However, here is different. He has concealed many hidden lines around. If an Ancient Demon Commander approaches, even if they don’t intentionally sneak in, Li Hao can generally detect them through these hidden lines.

Here is the Ancient Demon’s turf, and an Ancient Demon Commander’s careful incursion is unlikely. Hence, Li Hao remains relatively at ease.

“The visits of these Ancient Demons are becoming more frequent. It seems that other Ancient Demon Commanders will soon detect this empty territory and occupy it…”

Li Hao’s eyes flickered.

People in the Land of All Saints are unaware that the entire world faces imminent destruction.

If an Ancient Demon Commander discovers here and destroys this Mystical Gate, the Land of All Saints would face catastrophe.

Li Hao doesn’t know if this Mystical Gate can withstand an Ancient Demon Commander-level entity and can only strive to research to try to fill the patterns above it.

For the past two years of research, Li Hao has only discovered that this thing requires immortal power to repair.

Fortunately, he has already accumulated extremely abundant immortal power within himself, although he’s yet to become a True Immortal and thus lacks proficient control over this power.

Yet, Li Hao’s flesh has undergone a subtle transformation under long-term tempering with this immortal power. He can feel his body becoming stronger, and the Mixed Heaven Saint’s saber is no longer capable of harming his flesh. His body strength has at least matched a Sixth-Order Imperial Weapon!

More crucial than the body surface transformation is the internal changes in the Dao Bone and Divine Blood.

The Great Dao patterns on the Dao Bone shimmer with a faint layer of silver light, sacred and ethereal, becoming extremely hard.

Within the golden Divine Blood, a faint thread of dark silver has emerged. Li Hao believes that accumulating more immortal power over time could gradually transform his flesh. Even if he cannot grasp the path to becoming an Immortal, his flesh might first evolve into a True Immortal Body!

Li Hao has adapted to the monotonous life of the past two years.

In that courtyard, after his little companion behind him was taken away, he lived alone this way.

It wasn’t long after that he encountered Second Master, Feng.

Thinking of Second Master, Li Hao also thinks of the Mortal World, of the old gentleman in the Imperial Palace, Aunt in the Divine General Mansion, and the little one who liked to squat next to him and listen to stories.

Moreover, he thinks of the girl who traveled to the frontier with him, carrying his sword, tirelessly and uncomplainingly waiting — Ren Qianqian.

Plus the little fox he’s hugged since childhood, who has disappeared, and whether Emperor Yu has helped him find it.

Numerous thoughts and memories deepen his longing as he recalls, scratching an itch inside his heart, making him want to return desperately.

Yet, he understands that once he leaves and this place gets exposed, the entire Fake Realm will confront disaster, and he can only guard here.

He doesn’t know for how long he can guard this place, but at least he can ease the situation.

Or else, the first Ancient Demon to find here might have already relayed the news back, and the Land of All Saints would face disaster.

Time flows.

In this barren and desolate canyon, Li Hao begins to feel a bit of Nangong Jian’s sentiment.

No wonder Nangong Jian feels pessimistic. Yet, Li Hao still has a path and hope.

Still, Li Hao doesn’t know how long he has to wait here.

The Red Tassel Spear girl’s words were misplaced, but Li Hao doesn’t blame her. He thinks it likely stems from encountering some unforeseen event outside.

He hopes the girl’s trouble resolves soon, awaiting the appearance of the one meant to suppress this place.

Or that the outside Immortal Divine might clear out the Ancient Demons of this battlefield, making this place thoroughly safe.

Waiting becomes routine, Li Hao’s thoughts focused on carving and closing the pattern gaps in the Mystical Gate.

Another five years have passed in a flash.

During the first two years, there was a steady arrival of Ancient Demons each year, over ten, until the third year when Li Hao’s reflected avatar set up hidden lines outside and discovered a far location in the Ancient Demon Territory, where a multitude of Ancient Demons gathered, camping there.

Li Hao’s avatar discreetly retreated.

Fortunately, his Body Path had long reached the Ninth Stage, and movement techniques encompassing pursuit, evasion, and Concealment Skills were also part of the Body Technique category.
