Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1363: Chapter 314: The Charm of the Nine Orders

"Senior, how should I address you?"

Before leaving, Li Hao inquired.

The elder said, "I am the first Divine Tree of the Golden Dao Origin, nameless, but you may call me Mr. Jin."

"Mr. Jin..." Li Hao murmured, it was truly a simple and unpretentious name.

He slightly bowed with clasped hands, bid farewell to Mr. Jin, and then turned to head towards the towering Origin City.

At this time, the five-colored lights covered the sky, divine rays shone, and the entire Origin City was filled with rich Tao fortune. The Five Paths’ origins were visible, seemingly within reach, making one deeply feel the Five Paths, creating opportunities for epiphanies.

Li Hao glanced at the golden light in the center, with a complicated and indecipherable look in his eyes.

Mr. Jin had battled the Ancient Demon a hundred thousand years ago, protecting the entire city, leaving voluntarily later, and then was prevented from re-entering.

He hadn’t expected to witness human greed and selfishness represented in that Origin Divine Tree.

Shaking his head, Li Hao flew towards the nearest Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

Mr. Jin’s wish was not to return, nor did he want him to interfere, as with his current Realm, he had no capability to speak for him.

The so-called upholding of justice is based on power; otherwise, justice can only wait outside, kneeling.

Upon Li Hao’s arrival, he saw around the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, gathered were more than ten water Dao cultivators, from various dynasties, including prodigies from the Heavenly Palace.

Li Hao’s arrival didn’t draw much attention, but he saw on the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree, a familiar figure climbing, rushing towards the tree’s peak, it was precisely Boya Xuejian.

However, next to Boya Xuejian were two other figures ascending against the waterfall on the tree trunk.

The waterfall kept falling, but Li Hao could tell it wasn’t a real waterfall, but a manifestation of the Water Dao Origin’s Tao power, probably used to test those who comprehend it.

"It’s those three again, they might touch the Divine Tree Dao Fruit this time!"

"No choice, their Water Dao comprehension is far above ours, surely already at the Fourth Layer, perhaps even the Fifth Realm!"

"Being able to rest on the tree, I’m content."

"Lack of ambition!"

Under the tree, some from the same Immortal Dynasty whispered among themselves.

When Li Hao heard their discussion, his eyes shifted slightly, Fourth Layer, Fifth Realm?

He had only achieved the Fourth Layer of the Tao Origin in space and the recently comprehended Golden Dao Origin.

The other Tao, some were at the Second Level, others at the Third Level.

Li Hao looked at Boya Xuejian, sensing that the young man’s Water Dao comprehension, even if not reaching the Fifth Realm, was probably at its threshold.

He felt a bit tense, fearing that with his Tao Realm comprehension, he couldn’t compete in this spiritual outburst.

Only the Golden Dao and Space Tao did he have a chance to strive for.

At this moment, he suddenly realized why Boya Xuejian came to this Five Paths Origin City; in terms of Water Dao comprehension, he was unparalleled in the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, no peers among the younger generation, making it the right choice to come here.

Better to master few than dabble in many.

However, Li Hao had already embarked on this path, and fortunately, he had just refined the Nine Order Immortal Seal, greatly enhancing his combat strength, though not advantageous in this Divine Tree spiritual outburst competition.

Thinking this, Li Hao held onto the idea from when he first arrived in this world—since he came all this way, he shouldn’t leave empty-handed.

His figure flickered as he rushed towards the Water Dao Origin Divine Tree.

Swish!

Upon entering the Divine Light of the tree crown, Li Hao immediately felt his body enveloped by a water film. Here, he could clearly sense the Water Dao Origin’s aura, but his perception of other Tao became faint and weak.

Li Hao understood this was testing his Water Dao Origin comprehension.

He didn’t hide it; with his Second Level Water Dao Origin, he started to climb the tree.

Li Hao’s actions also drew the attention of others, and perceiving the Water Dao Origin aura and cultivation he emitted, it elicited waves of mocking laughter.

"Look, a guy from the True Immortal Realm dares to try his luck here."

"Only at the Second Level of Water Dao, yet dares to compete for a spiritual outburst."

In the Divine Light of the tree, apart from Boya Xuejian and two others, others also started climbing, reaching the height of the vines, while Li Hao was just starting his ascent, the vines on the ground far above his head.

Here, the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm Power also lost its channel; Li Hao discovered even space teleportation was impossible. Only by relying on the Water Dao Origin, like an invisible current, did he swim upward like a fish.

Li Hao’s Water Dao Origin Realm was enhanced through the Artistic Path, bringing together insights with the Space Path and Earth Path. Perhaps due to balancing three types of Tao Origins, both his Water Dao and Earth Dao Origins were at the Second Level.

The True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer who comprehends the Second Level Nine Orders Dao Origin is considered a prodigy, but not the top; reaching the Third Level is top-notch, the Fourth Layer is an extreme monster.

But in this Original Secret Realm, being a prodigy was just the entry-level, quite ordinary; the abilities Li Hao showed were evidently at the bottom.

"Seems hopeless."

Li Hao summoned all his Water Dao Origin comprehension, climbing upstream, but the continuous onslaught of the Water Dao Origin relentlessly pushed him back; he only reached the height of the vines, which was already his limit.

Li Hao sighed inwardly, thinking of giving up, but as he was about to withdraw, suddenly the impact of the Water Dao Origin around him receded and weakened like a tide.
