Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1294: Chapter 288: Two Hundred Divine Bones (Part 2)

Thinking about fighting alongside such a fellow in the Southern Region battle, an intense heat suddenly surged within his heart.

...

Within the secret realm in the courtyard of the Water Moon Palace.

Gu Xingwan turned her head, staring blankly at Li Hao, True Immortal Realm Third Level? A million immortal功?

Gu Changming was already aware of Li Hao’s situation, so he wasn’t surprised, just slightly amazed. After all, such a young monster hadn’t been seen in many years.

He said to Li Hao, "The 1,920,000 immortal功 from the battlefield have been sent back to the Imperial City of the Immortal Capital. Once the emperor approves, it will be credited to your Identity Token. Adding your current immortal功, you will have over three million."

Li Hao nodded. That 1,920,000 immortal功 was purely an unexpected surprise. Along the way, he glanced at the total immortal功 of other Tianyi Immortal Sect members, and it seemed some had less than three million, which was not as much as his.

"..."

Beside him, Gu Xingwan was somewhat silent.

There are still 1,920,000 immortal功 not yet credited?

If that immortal功 is added, what rank will it climb to?

She looked silently at Li Hao. The immortal technique she wished to ask about earlier suddenly felt a bit tasteless, lacking interest.

Whether it was the previous Green Heaven Immortal Technique realm, the sparring match just now, or the exaggerated immortal功 at this moment... it’s hard to imagine these would concentrate on a youth at the True Immortal Realm Third Level in front of her.

Moreover, since he’s participating in the Southern Region battle, it implies his soul life is under three thousand years.

"I’ve already ordered a feast to be prepared, let’s go have a drink."

Gu Changming smiled and invited Li Hao to the main hall.

"There better be good wine for sure." Li Hao smiled.

Gu Changming couldn’t help but laugh heartily, "Straightforward, no problem. The food might not suit your taste, but the wine will definitely satisfy you."

Standing at the original spot, Gu Xingwan watched as the old and young duo walked away. Her expression turned complex, but she suddenly thought of something, her cheeks flushed slightly, and with a light hum, she followed.

The moon was dim, stars sparse, Gu Changming did not disappoint Li Hao. Although the food was good, it wasn’t as good as Li Hao’s cooking, but the Drunk Dragon Roar wine caught Li Hao’s eye.

Even wine is a gourmet treat. Although Li Hao could also brew wine, he admitted he couldn’t produce the taste of this Drunk Dragon Roar.

After a night of heavy drinking, Li Hao snored away, having been on guard at the border for three months in fierce battles, he finally got a proper sleep.

Gu Changming was also slightly drunk but didn’t pass out. Watching the snoring boy with drool at the corner of his mouth, he couldn’t help but smile and said:

"A straightforward and genuine good lad."

Gu Xingwan sat by the side and saw the sleeping boy. She couldn’t help but ask, "Grandfather, why did you let him drink so much?"

"Why, are you worried now?"

Gu Changming glanced at her, observing the reddening roots of her ears, couldn’t help but laugh, and said, "Don’t worry, this boy has a strong body, and his Immortal Body is top-notch. This Drunk Dragon Roar, even Ancestor Dragon would be tipsy with a drop, but he can handle it!"

Saying this, he looked at the few empty jars beside him with a trace of heartache in his eyes, carefully put the jars away, then flicked his sleeves and turned away.

"Grandfather?"

Seeing Gu Changming just leave like that, Gu Xingwan was left in a daze.

In the attic, only she and the snoring boy remained in a moment.

Misty clouds, tranquil stars and moon.

When the dazzling sunlight shone again, Li Hao woke up groggily but didn’t feel dizzy; instead, he felt wholly refreshed.

He stretched, feeling a robust and warm power coursing through him, and when he sat up, he found a soft blanket covering him, with embroidered little white piglets along the edges.

Li Hao chuckled at the absurdity, knowing his physique, he would never catch cold.

Pushing aside the blanket, Li Hao swept his gaze, aside from the messy wine bowls and dishes, the grandfather and granddaughter duo were gone.

He got up leisurely, tidied himself up, then flew down the pavilion, his Divine Sense spread out, soon spotting Qianqian practicing sword by the arched bridge in the courtyard.

"Where’s your grandfather?"

Li Hao went up and asked.

Gu Xingwan stopped her sword shadow, turning her head to scrutinize Li Hao, asked, "You’re leaving?"

"Mm."

"This courtyard is the Water Moon Secret Realm; cultivating here can enhance your understanding of Water Dao Origin." Gu Xingwan immediately spoke.

Li Hao had already noticed this and said, "I know."

"If you want to stay, I can speak to my grandfather about letting you stay here to cultivate."

"That won’t be necessary."

Li Hao hastily waved his hand.

"You..."

Gu Xingwan saw Li Hao’s eagerness, and a slight frustration showed on her graceful and peaceful face.

"Your grandfather is busy; since he’s not here, I’ll take my leave first. Please say goodbye to him for me." Li Hao waved his hand.

After speaking, without waiting for a response, he directly teleported away.

"You..."

Gu Xingwan thought of chasing him but realized she couldn’t capture Li Hao’s aura or trajectory anymore, feeling secretly amazed yet somewhat irritated.

Cultivating in this Water Moon Secret Realm is a dream for many people. Only especially favored disciples of her grandfather have the privilege to cultivate here.

"Ungrateful guy!"

She lightly grinded her teeth, stomped her foot, then suddenly remembered that he would participate in the Southern Region battle, and her eyes glinted with light, hummed, and proceeded to the main hall.

She went straight to the Dark Hall, her immortal power slowly transforming, beginning her true cultivation.

...

...

Li Hao returned to Yinglong Yuwu Camp. Upon seeing Li Hao, Shi Tianjin and the others all stood up, greeting him warmly.

Li Hao greeted Huo Xiaoqi, then returned to his own courtyard.

He then expanded his Dao Domain, inside which he extended the space. Within a palm-sized range, the internal space spanned a hundred miles, making this small courtyard comparable to the size of a secret realm.

He took out the Ancient Demon Corpse and began cooking it inside.

After the flesh was cooked, Li Hao began his nourishment.

Time flew by.

Li Hao secluded himself in the courtyard, as Shi Tianjin and others dared not disturb him. After all, Li Hao was no ordinary now; with a million immortal功 on him, as long as his identity was clear, he could join the Chu Immortal Army.

Eating Ancient Demon Flesh daily, Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit rapidly improved. Over half a year, the number of Primordial Spirit Golden Bones increased from 72 to 160, not reaching the limit yet, still growing steadily.

However, the strength of Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit had changed drastically compared to before. Even if it was a Primordial Spirit battle, Li Hao felt, he could already face off against a low-level Immortal Lord head-on!

As time passed, Li Hao no longer focused on the increase of Primordial Spirit Golden Bones, instead setting his mind on the Ancient Demon cooking.

Adding the past three months and now half a year, eating Ancient Demon Flesh daily, despite the excellent taste, Li Hao grew a bit weary of it. He increasingly pursued a more extreme enjoyment, while also pondering deeper realms of cooking.

It’s just, for now, there’s no progress.

Li Hao wasn’t anxious, slowly pondering during cooking every day, without disturbances, fully dedicating himself to cooking.

Meanwhile, the 1,920,000 immortal功 had been approved and added to his Identity Token, combining with his own 1,370,000 immortal功, totaling 3,290,000 immortal功!

His name also rose to rank 19 on the immortal功 leaderboard!

Reaching such ranking, the names were all long-serving veterans fighting for countless years at Qinghe Mo City, achieving great feats, ready to be promoted to other positions, bestowed titles and ranks.

The rise in ranking caused a stir again throughout Qinghe Mo City, with countless discussions and rumors about the immortal功 spreading, making many aware that the ultimate victory in that battle was tied to Chong Er.

As for Li Hao himself, he turned the other way, wholeheartedly focusing on cooking.

When it had been a year since he arrived, Li Hao’s Primordial Spirit Golden Bones had already broken through to 200 pieces!

The power of the Primordial Spirit surged again, becoming increasingly brilliant.

Meanwhile, outside, at the transmission place of Qing City Mo River, three figures were transmitted over, seemingly arriving together.

"Is this the border?"

"What a big city; the sky is dark here, it seems even the light of stars is swallowed."

"Let’s find Senior Brother first, I’ve heard Haotian came here too, wondering how he’s doing. We mustn’t fall behind him."

The three figures on the transmission platform were none other than Murong Qingwu, Yue Xi, and Gu Yan.
