Chapter 1226: Chapter 263: One Day Ascending the Mountain, One Day Descending

The majestic aura and Sword Momentum made him feel not only the power of the Emperor Sword but also faintly perceive that thread of Emperor’s Will.

Li Hao’s eyes flickered as he stood still, lost in thought.

The eyes of Yun Wumian and Li Tie Mu, along with others, were all focused on this young man. While the world contends, he does not; inevitably seeming a little unusual.

"Young man, what are you thinking?"

Li Tie Mu couldn’t help but urge via sound transmission: "There are only six months, what are you daydreaming about!"

Li Hao came back to his senses, glanced at him, and then raised his head to look at the two sword mark monuments again. His comprehension had ended; staying here held no more meaning, merely wasting half a year’s time.

"Abyss Master, may I descend the mountain early?"

Li Hao looked towards the Abyss Master, slightly bowed and clasped his hands in respect as he asked.

Upon hearing the young man’s words, the scene became silent in an instant. Li Tie Mu stared dumbfoundedly at Li Hao, suspecting his ears were playing tricks.

What is this? Arriving at Emperor Sword Mountain just to descend again? And early?

The intent of the Emperor Sword has been displayed for ten thousand years, batch after batch of disciples have come to comprehend it, but none have ever said they want to leave early.

After all, the longer one stays, the more one can comprehend; who would waste this precious opportunity?

Even Yun Wumian was a bit stunned, clearly encountering and hearing this situation for the first time. Usually serene and indifferent, even when faced with millions of Ancient Demon Army sweeping before him, he remains unflappable. Yet now, he showed a rare hint of surprise, asking:

"Why? Are you unable to comprehend, or do you feel you’ve already grasped it?"

Li Hao slightly shook his head. To say he has already grasped it would be too arrogant, for he only took a glance and merely gleaned some superficial knowledge.

"I’ve been here, seen it, and now I wish to do something more meaningful."

Li Hao said.

Yun Wumian’s eyes slightly narrowed upon hearing the young man’s meaning, seemingly about to turn and immediately descend.

"Something more meaningful? What is that?"

Curiosity inevitably arose within him, and he asked.

Li Hao glanced at the backs of numerous disciples seated before the sword mark monument, then withdrew his gaze, turned his head to look down Emperor Sword Mountain, and said:

"Play a game of chess, paint a picture, enjoy a delicious meal, maybe even carve some small objects."

The crisp voice of the young man gently echoed before the hut atop Emperor Sword Mountain.

Simple words, put together, spoken from the mouth of the young man, left Li Tie Mu, Zhou Qingyun, and other elders dumbfounded, their eyes widening in shock.

In the young man’s eyes, these seemingly ordinary and simple things could be more meaningful than comprehending the Emperor Sword intent?

Even Yun Wumian hadn’t expected the young man to say this, he was a bit stunned. Yet seeing the young man’s sincere and clear gaze, he suddenly realized the boy was not lying; his words were neither evasive nor perfunctory.

As all Heavenly Pride Disciples of Sword Abyss rushed to ascend, this young man merely glanced at the Sword Intent and wished to turn and descend the mountain, from the peak to leave.

Yun Wumian fell silent; such a young man, he rarely sees.

Were it not for witnessing the young man’s invincible display of slicing the Ancestor Dragon with one sword, he would only think this young man was a foolish little brat.

But that sword showed him, not only is the young man not foolish, but also possesses extraordinary perception and brilliance.

Now, he seems to see once more that this young man has an exceedingly rare, unique, exceptional nature.

Whether this nature is good or bad, he cannot be certain.

But, it’s quite interesting.

He slowly said: "Your name is Haotian?"𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Yes."

The young man nodded.

"What is your surname? From which family do you come?"

"Surname Hao, given name Tian, without family. To this world, I come alone."

Li Hao calmly and frankly said.

"Hao..."

Yun Wumian searched his mind for such families, discovering indeed there’s no major clan with the surname Hao; he softly said: "Daring to name oneself ’Tian’, such a grand temperament!"

"Born and nurtured by heaven and earth, honoring heaven with a name, why not?"

Li Hao said.

Yun Wumian’s gaze slightly moved, staring into the young man’s calm eyes; his gaze suddenly became much softer, he said:

"I heard from Elder Li, you recently apprenticed at Sword Abyss for merely two years, you possess some power, attracting Heavenly Dao’s rules, faintly, even I find it difficult to clearly see your true cultivation unless you reveal immortal power. Do you realize this is very dangerous?"

Li Hao was slightly startled, realizing immediately that he spoke of his All Phenomena Attributes.

Under the concealment of All Phenomena Attributes, he is able to hide his realm.

Unless he actively reveals his aura.

And the meaning of the other’s words, Li Hao grasped instantly.

Even an Immortal King struggling to perceive him would inevitably suspect him of hiding an Exotic Treasure!

"As a Heavenly Pride, each has their fortuitous encounters, it’s commonplace, I will not pursue this."

Yun Wumian’s voice soft and gentle said: "But remember, you’ve apprenticed into my Great Dream Nine Abysses, you are of Sword Abyss, should you encounter any difficulties, Sword Abyss is your support, no one can harm you beyond Sword Abyss!"

Li Hao was taken aback, he gazed at the Abyss Master, then clasped his hands and bowed: "Disciple remembers!"

Yun Wumian rarely revealed a smile, upon seeing it, Li Tie Mu and the others showed expressions of surprise.

"This Emperor Sword Mountain’s early opening enables you to comprehend Sword Intent, young man, do you know why?"

Yun Wumian said.

Li Hao’s heart stirred, he said: "It’s related to the Southern Domain battle? To rapidly train disciples?"

Yun Wumian glanced at Li Tie Mu, Li Tie Mu displayed an aggrieved expression, indicating he hadn’t leaked any information.

"Exactly, the Southern Domain battle, the Nine Immortal Dynasties, numerous Heavenly Sects and Earth Sects’ Heavenly Pride, along with the monsters from the Heavenly Palace, competing together."
