Chapter 312: Heavenly Will vs. Sage's Will (Second Update)
Chapter 312: Heavenly Will vs. Sage's Will (Second Update)
In ancient times, when the tales of immortals and deities were widespread, there was a saying: "Heaven and Earth, Mystic and Yellow."
The Dao Heart is also classified according to this, but there has never been a Dao Heart that surpasses the Earth Rank. If such a thing exists, it would be the Heaven Heart, the Dao Heart of Heaven!
The Sages have spread their teachings for countless generations, reaching the Mystic Earth level. This ambition is already beyond what we can imagine, so is there an even greater goal?
The people inside the Immortal Gate looked at each other, puzzled.
Given their understanding, it was hard to imagine a Dao Heart that could surpass the Great Dao of the Sages.
Such a thing had never been heard of. It was easier to believe that the Dao Heart Tower had made a mistake, as that was more likely.
As they discussed, the Feather Ancestor's gaze was fixed on the young man outside the Immortal Gate. He said in a low voice:
"He is about to come in. My Primordial Sanctuary will spare no expense to secure him. I hope the rest of you will not compete with me!"
The Feather Ancestor's words were too domineering. The Heavenly Phoenix Sanctuary, though not as powerful as the Primordial Sanctuary, is also willing to invest all its resources to cultivate him!"
The noble woman beside him, who looked like a celestial maiden, had a flash of sharpness in her eyes but spoke calmly.
"If I'm not mistaken, your Heavenly Phoenix Sanctuary is of the Demon Race and has many female disciples. This seems inappropriate, doesn't it?"
The Feather Ancestor glanced at her coolly and said indifferently:
"So what if we are of the Demon Race? We also have cultivation techniques suitable for humans. Our two races have long coexisted peacefully. Is the Feather Ancestor trying to stir up conflict between humans and demons?"
The celestial maiden, exuding a regal aura, said coldly, "Moreover, having many female disciples might be a good thing for him."
"..."
The Feather Ancestor withdrew his gaze, not bothering to argue further, but a cold smile played on his lips.
Since this young man came from the Mortal World, he knew the situation of his own disciple there. The young man was likely closely connected to the Jiang Family. Using this connection, it would be difficult for others to compete with him.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the old man on the other side, who was an elder from the Cloud Mist World Void Sacred Land. However, the old man wore a blank expression and did not speak, seemingly not intending to compete.
This surprised the Feather Ancestor. Such a prodigy, and the Void Sacred Land showed no interest?
The other factions present were speechless. The two Semi-Saint Patriarchs had already started vying for the young man even before he stepped into the Immortal Gate. This was truly excessive.
However, they also knew that such a prodigy was beyond their reach. He would definitely enter the Holy Land for cultivation and be taken as a personal disciple by a Sage.
Ji Xuanshen and the others exchanged glances and smiled wryly. This young man always caused a stir and left people in awe.
"Young man, come in."
The Feather Ancestor called out to the young man outside the Immortal Gate.
Outside, Li Hao was waiting for the small Dao Heart tower to give him feedback. Seeing that it was taking a long time, he was puzzled.
However, he didn't care much about how his Dao Heart would be evaluated. Whether it was high or low, it was his heart, his path.
Hearing the call from inside the Immortal Gate, Li Hao refocused his thoughts. Looking at the Immortal Gate before him, he knew that this step would separate him from the Mortal World.
Li Hao turned back, looking at the square, at Ren Qianqian at the end of the Heavenly Ladder, at Emperor Yu flying high in the sky, and at the Old Daoist flying over.
Their gazes met, and Li Hao nodded slightly in farewell.
At the same time, Li Hao's divine sense noticed the Ji Family War God, Ji Tianchao, standing in the distance outside the Imperial Palace, hovering in the air.
Li Hao also harbored good will and affection towards the old man, nodding to him.
Outside the Imperial Palace, Ji Tianchao saw Li Hao's warm and gentle gaze and was taken aback. His previously grieving heart was now soothed by this gentle touch.
His eyes slightly reddened, and he smiled at Li Hao, raising his thumb.
Li Hao's gaze fell on the crowd, where he saw Li Yuanzhao and others looking excited. He smiled and waved at them.
"Hao Ge saw us!"
Li Yuanzhao became even more excited, his face beaming with joy.
Li Wushuang and Li Zhining were momentarily stunned, but they suddenly laughed, a hint of something fleeting in their eyes.
Li Hao gave Ren Qianqian an encouraging look, then composed himself and turned to step into the Immortal Gate.
As soon as he stepped in, he felt something strange.
The Immortal Gate, so close at hand, seemed to ripple like water, giving a sense of traveling through time and space.
Before he could adjust, the numerous blurry figures standing behind the Immortal Gate became even more distant, instead of clearer.
At the same time, a sudden, icy killing intent surged from the void, carrying immense intimidation—a vast Sage's Will!
Li Hao was taken aback, his pupils dilating as he looked up. All around him was a vast, chaotic void, but a blurry figure and a Will suddenly descended, aiming to crush him!
This killing intent came out of nowhere, completely unexpected.
Li Hao's hair stood on end, his blood seeming to freeze, and he felt an intense sense of danger, just like facing the Sage Demon Corpse in the Abyss, a feeling of facing death head-on.
Is this a Sage's move?!
Li Hao was shocked, almost disbelieving, but quickly followed with a surge of anger.
He suddenly erupted, entering the Divine Power State. Simultaneously, the Heaven-Earth Meridian rapidly gathered Heaven and Earth Power, directly pushing him into Ultimate Transcendence to Immortality.
With a loud boom, his body suddenly exploded.
Under that overwhelming power, he was like an egg under a stone hammer, with no chance of withstanding it.
Behind the Immortal Gate, Feather Ancestor and the Goddess, who were waiting for Li Hao to pass through, suddenly changed their expressions. Their gazes seemed to penetrate the Immortal Gate, sensing the subtle energy fluctuations inside.
They were shocked, suddenly looking up at the sky, where a blurry figure seemed to appear and then vanish, a thread of Sage's Will descending!
It was a Sage's move!
And they immediately recognized it as the Void Sage!
Feather Ancestor suddenly looked at the old man beside her. His expression remained calm, but a hint of a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Feather Ancestor was both shocked and angry. No wonder the old man never competed, he never intended to let the young man through, planning to assassinate him directly!
And to prevent their interference, he even had the Sage of the Void Sacred Land do it personally!
Using Void Dao Ascension, his mastery of spatial manipulation was unparalleled, turning this short distance through the Immortal Gate into a vast battlefield.
"Void Sacred Land, you've gone too far!"
Feather Ancestor couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Exactly, even if you can't win, you don't have to destroy it."
The Goddess's face was particularly cold. She didn't believe that the Heavenly Phoenix Sanctuary had no chance of competing, but now it was completely gone.
"Sorry, that young man offended our Holy Son, and he must die."
In response to their angry questioning, the old man said calmly.
The other factions were also shaken by this sudden turn of events. When they heard the conversation, they were all stunned.
Ji Xuanshen and Jiang Lidust, among others, were waiting to meet Li Hao and greet him. When they saw him step into the Immortal Gate and then disappear, as if transferred to another place, and didn't reappear, they were puzzled. Upon hearing the words of the three elders, they were all taken aback.
Destroy? What's going on?
Ji Xuanshen and the others looked at the old man in shock.
The old man seemed to become the target of everyone's anger, but his expression remained calm, as if it didn't matter to him.
Everyone knew that their anger alone couldn't do anything to an elder.
"I will report this to the Primordial Sage. You, Void Sacred Land, must give an explanation!"
Feather Ancestor's eyes flickered with killing intent, suppressing her anger.
The old man's face was indifferent, and he did not respond. He had already known this outcome when he secretly communicated with the Sage earlier.
The young man was indeed a monstrous genius, but a dead genius was no longer a genius. Moreover, he hadn't joined the Primordial Sanctuary yet. Even if the Primordial Sanctuary demanded an explanation, they could afford to compensate.
The other side wouldn't go to the extent of erupting into a Sage battle over a dead genius. In the end, everything would be smoothed over.
In the world of the powerful, there was no right or wrong, only interests.
If the interests were in place, even if you knew the other side was wrong, you would still praise them.
Even if you knew you were slandering a good person, you would blame that person for being foolish, for provoking someone they shouldn't have.
"You're too despicable!"
Jiang Lidust glared at the old man, having already guessed the reason behind the insult to the Holy Son.
Earlier, Li Hao had killed the Six Dao Law Realm cultivator and let one escape. Clearly, the old man was plotting to get the Great Yu Incense.
He never expected his enemy to be right in front of him.
"Hmm?"
The old man heard his words, his eyes cold, and glanced at him.
A vast Will Suppress surged, and Jiang Lidust spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. However, a buzzing sound resonated from within his spine—it was his Sword Bone, slightly resisting the Semi-Sage Will.
Feather Ancestor suddenly waved his hand, blocking the old man's aura and gaze, standing in front of Jiang Lidust and the others with a cold face. "Do you want to force me to battle you here?!"
The old man's face remained cold as he retracted his gaze. At this point, he knew that their Void Sacred Land had no chance in this recruitment. These disciples would not join their Void Sacred Land.
However, it was just a loss of some disciples. Besides, a few of the outstanding ones might not have been willing to join them anyway. The loss wasn't significant.
The vast Void Sacred Land could recruit some outstanding disciples, but sacrificing these few to eliminate someone like Li Hao was an extremely worthwhile trade.
Otherwise, once the other side grew and accumulated Incense Ascension, they would truly pose a great threat to the Void Sacred Land!
Moreover, through this incident, they could establish the authority of the Void Sacred Land, making everyone know that the Void Sacred Land was not to be provoked!
"If other Sages learn of this, they will also demand an explanation from you!"
The goddess stared at the old man, her face icy, having already seen through his arrogance.
"That won't be necessary."
The old man said indifferently.
As they spoke, within the Immortal Gate, the chaotic void seemed to stretch. Li Hao's body was shattered, but it transformed into countless bones and blood, scattered in the void.
At this moment, these bones and blood were rapidly healing and reassembling.
The shocked and angry voices from behind the Immortal Gate reached Li Hao's ears. He suddenly realized that the old man's voice was very familiar. It was the same voice that had greeted him in the Immortal Gate half a year ago, when he had killed the Holy Son of Void Origin and the other had escaped through the Immortal Gate.
It was exactly the same!
The old man had remained silent earlier, perhaps recognizing him and deliberately waiting for him to step into the Immortal Gate, then using the Sage's power to attack within the Immortal Gate's space.
This person who had tried to steal the Jiang Family's Incense was in the Cloud Mist World, one of the three Holy Lands. No wonder they had been able to spy on the Mortal World's Jiang Family's Incense. Perhaps their plans had started a thousand years ago.
But knowing this now was useless. Li Hao's consciousness returned to the void, and his body had just reformed when the Sage's Will reappeared.
"Blood Drop Rebirth? No wonder..."
A towering, indifferent voice echoed, filled with a sense of superiority. Then, the Sage's Will descended once more.
Li Hao was filled with shock and anger. The other side hadn't even shown themselves, and with just a thread of will, they were trying to crush him.
Li Hao roared and once again transcended to immortality. The Heaven-Earth Meridian wildly drew power from the surrounding void.
His golden skin was covered, his hair turned white, and his consciousness merged with the void, once again glimpsing the vast and supreme Heavenly Sovereign Will.
He borrowed a thread of the Heavenly Sovereign Will and suddenly struck the Sage's Will.
