Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1649: Chapter 418: Opening the Final Realm (Double-Length)

Li Hao asked curiously.

"That was during the chaos period. Ascending to the throne then was a different method, but it is no longer applicable now."

Su Jiuzhe shook his head slightly, "This matter, you will understand when you reach Immortal King Perfection. Knowing in advance is useless and only adds worry."

Li Hao was somewhat curious, but seeing that he didn’t say more, he refrained from asking further.

Regardless, today, even in such a short moment, he gained much.

This is likely the benefit of being guided by a Great Emperor.

Li Hao suddenly felt a bit envious of those personally taught by the Immortal Emperor, as they likely knew these matters long ago.

"Thank you, senior, for clearing my confusion."

Li Hao bowed to express gratitude.

Su Jiuzhe waved his hand casually and said, "Finish your drink and head back. If there’s anything, find Su Zhenyuan, don’t linger here to avoid my corpse aura infecting you."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao wanted to say something but ultimately remained silent, merely finishing his drink before rising to say:

"These snacks are somewhat hard to eat. If there’s a chance, I will make some for the senior to taste."

"Alright."

Su Jiuzhe casually agreed, not taking it seriously.

Li Hao took his leave, walking down the hillside, peach blossoms falling, the solitary figure drinking silently behind him.

...

At the foot of the mountain, Su Zhenyuan was waiting there.

As soon as Li Hao returned, he swiftly moved next to Li Hao and eagerly asked, "Haotian, did the Ancestor guide you, what did he say to you?"

"Humph!"

Fourth Uncle snorted, standing in front of Li Hao, retorting angrily, "Do you feel no shame in probing about such matters?"

Su Zhenyuan was stunned, and scratched his head embarrassedly, showing a rare awkwardness as the head of the family.

"Ignore him."

Fourth Uncle pulled Li Hao aside and whispered, "Child, what did the Ancestor say to you?"

Li Hao: "..."

"You two, come over here."

At that moment, the voice of Su Jiuzhe echoed from Peach Blossom Mountain.

Fourth Uncle and Su Zhenyuan were stunned, exchanged glances, and awkwardly left Li Hao without further entanglement.

Su Zhenyuan said to Li Hao, "You know the way back, right? Why don’t you go back first?"

Li Hao nodded.

Then, Su Zhenyuan and Fourth Uncle quickly headed into the mountain while Li Hao set off to return to the Immortal Courtyard.

However, as soon as Li Hao returned, he found many guests in the courtyard, making it extremely lively.

Li Hao saw Nanny Wu respectfully hosting, and upon further observation, these people were surprisingly familiar; their faces distinctly those of the previous twenty battle captives.

But now, they were all dressed in new clothes, and their cultivation and injuries seemed to have mostly healed, appearing revitalized, quite different from their prior disheveled and pathetic look, making them hard to recognize.

"He’s back!"

"Haotian, it’s Haotian!"

The people gathered in the courtyard immediately perceived Li Hao’s aura, all turning to look with joy.

Li Hao landed in the courtyard, yet instinctively glanced at the palace door, seeing it still closed, revealing a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Young master, you’re finally back, they all came looking for you."

Nanny Wu noticed Li Hao and quickly approached to say, with her attitude toward Li Hao growing extremely respectful and awestruck.

Although she was a servant, Li Hao’s previous actions held unparalleled significance for the Northern Domain Human Clan, earning her deep admiration.

"Mmm."

Li Hao nodded and then whispered, "Please, Nanny Wu, tell her it’s because of her disturbance, not to mind."

Nanny Wu was taken aback, instantly realizing who Li Hao referred to.

Disturbance? She looked around the courtyard, with more people, it naturally became bustling with conversation, which could indeed be considered an intrusion to the typically quiet young mistress.

She appreciated Li Hao’s attentiveness and immediately agreed.

At this point, others eagerly approached Li Hao.

"Haotian, I’m Lin Yeqiu, I can hardly express my gratitude for saving my life. In the future, with just one word, I will stand by and aid you to the death!"

Lin Yeqiu was the first to speak, his expression overwhelmed.

It was Li Hao who allowed him to return home, reunite with his family, sit down with the old man, and extend the father-son bond.

"Haotian, I am Su Wenyue, Su Muqing’s elder sister. This gratitude, I will never forget."

Among the crowd, a graceful and elegant woman spoke softly to Li Hao, seemingly of a tender nature.

"Haotian, my life belongs to you, feel free to command me anytime!"

"Haotian, my Zhao Family..."

"Haotian..."

Twenty individuals, expressed their thanks sincerely, and subsequently presented the treasures they brought.

Li Hao did not need these treasures, naturally refusing to accept them, as most were Divine Medicine, useless to him unless cooked, which he couldn’t absorb. But now, he couldn’t even finish the Ancient Demon corpse, let alone eat these Divine Medicines, better to let them make full use of it.

The Northern Domain’s harsh situation required these heavenly materials and treasures, Divine Medicine Immortal Soldiers even more.

"Everyone, I appreciate your sentiment. As a member of the Human Race, it’s what I should do."

Li Hao politely exchanged pleasantries, vaguely indicating his need for rest and cultivation, prompting these individuals not to linger and leave their treasures before departing.

The courtyard was full of treasures, Li Hao saw this and felt some involuntary helplessness, leaving it to Nanny Wu to register them, having the Su Family send them back one by one.

Within the hall, Su Muqing had been attentively listening to the situation outside, Nanny Wu entered and conveyed Li Hao’s words to her, causing Su Muqing to freeze suddenly. If it were any other day, she might have been annoyed, but these captives were heroes from the border, having narrowly escaped from the Demons, how could she disdain their chatter?

However, she did not expect Li Hao to be so considerate, apologizing for this matter to her.

That young man, who has never bowed to her even when excelling in the sword pool, now apologizes over such a minor issue.

She felt an indescribable sensation.

She then thought of her father’s arrangements, her gaze growing increasingly complex.
