Chapter 357: Ink Drop Suppress, Comprehend (Part 2)
A chill ran through his heart. This was the Battles of the Ten Thousand Heavens, where Sages could not personally intervene. If the other party truly harbored murderous intent, even if his Holy Land would avenge him afterward and his Master would take action, he would still be dead at that moment.
But he could not believe that Li Hao would be so reckless as to risk his life in exchange for his own!
Li Hao indeed had no intention of killing him. It was not worth provoking a Supreme Sage over a mere opponent he could defeat with ease.
He walked up to the Green Deer King, turned around, and sat on his back.
"Your bones are quite strong, more comfortable than my soft mat."
Li Hao said, then turned to Hongyun and Xiyian. "Bring me some ink and paper; I'm going to paint here."
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, everyone stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.
Using the Green Deer King as a chair and sitting on his back like that?
The Green Deer King was almost driven mad with rage, roaring, "You are humiliating me like this, do you want to die? I will never forgive you!"
"Be quiet, slap yourself."
Li Hao said calmly. The air seemed to solidify into a whip, striking the Green Deer King's face.
He screamed in rage, becoming even more frenzied.
From a young age, he had never suffered such humiliation. Even his imperial brother, who ascended the throne and ruled the Divine Dynasty, had to show him respect and courtesy.
"You!"
The Green Deer King was driven mad with fury. Being humiliated in public, he wished he could peel off his skin and bury his head in the ground.
But soon, he regained his composure, suppressing his emotions. Clenching his teeth and with red eyes, he silently vowed, "You are dead, you are dead. After today, I will surely kill you!"
His mind was filled with these frenzied thoughts, but his face remained composed. He did not dare to continue making threats to Li Hao. If he provoked the other party's murderous intent, he would be in grave danger.
After the Green Deer King fell silent, those nearby turned their gaze to the young man seated on the Green Deer King's back, their eyes changing.
What a ruthless character, using the Green Deer King as a stool. Is this the strength that can leave behind Blood Light?
"Eight Extremes Realm, and so powerful, a half-Holy Capital like the Green Deer King is no match!"
"Ten years have passed, and the Green Deer King has ascended to Semi-Saint, yet he is easily suppressed. This is truly terrifying."
"Such humiliation will surely form a deadly enmity. When these two ascend, they will likely still battle, but Sages are hard to kill, so there might be daily eruptions of conflict."
Many were shocked, these supreme monsters indeed act without restraint.
If it were anyone else, they would at least consider the Green Deer King's background, the sect behind him, and that Supreme Sage, and dare not insult him so.
Chiguang remained silent for a moment.
Then he thought, it would be best to stay away from this guy in the future.
Earlier at the Buddhist Sect, he dared to step on the Holy Son, and now, in front of the prodigies of various realms, he is straddling the Green Deer King. This is the direct disciple of a Supreme Sage. Although the Green Deer King provoked first, Li Hao’s bold and terrifying retaliation is still remarkable.
Lin Shuhai glanced silently, then withdrew his gaze and sighed softly. He felt the gap between him and this young man growing ever wider.
Lin Qingying watched Li Hao sitting calmly, still painting as usual, completely unaffected. She had no intention of dissuading him. Although she was concerned about the Holy Land behind the Green Deer King, the other party provoked first. If the sect were reasonable, they should educate the Green Deer King.
However, thinking about how her Dao Fetus was publicly disabled in the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary, she fell silent again.
In this world, how many true strong ones are actually reasonable?
If one were reasonable, every step would be fraught with difficulties. How could one reach the pinnacle?
She found it somewhat boring and sighed, sending a telepathic message to Li Hao:
"The Green Deer King is backed by the Huntian Holy Land. His master might take revenge for him. Be careful."
Li Hao paused his brush slightly, looking at her. He saw the worry in her eyes.
Li Hao smiled and said, "No need to worry. We can't let fear of death make us submit to humiliation. Some people, even if you reason with them, their killing intent and resentment will only grow more intense, finding no outlet."
Lin Qingying fell silent, nodding slightly.
"Don’t worry. Worrying about such things is a waste of time."
Li Hao smiled, not wanting her to be too concerned about his affairs. If she had these thoughts, she might as well focus on cultivation.
Life is full of dust and troubles.
Mountains do not avoid dust.
High mountains do not avoid dust, and thus they become high mountains.
Hearing Li Hao’s reassurance, Lin Qingying slowly smiled, nodding.
Li Hao, seated on the Green Deer King’s back, also focused on his painting.
His painting experience was rapidly improving, and he also painted the Green Deer King beneath him again. Although the experience gained from the second painting was reduced, it still amounted to over forty thousand.
However, in this second painting, the Green Deer King was no longer the awe-inspiring figure that people avoided. Instead, he was lying on the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
As Li Hao quietly painted, the whispers in the crowd grew, but many who looked at Li Hao added a newfound wariness to their gazes. When they discussed Li Hao, their voices instinctively grew softer.
"You've been sitting there long enough. The Green Deer King just wanted to spar with you. Why such humiliation?"
When Li Hao finished his second painting, his experience was nearly full. A few tall figures emerged from the crowd and approached him.
The leader was a young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his posture straight and his gaze piercing, though he slightly restrained his usual coldness. He frowned at Li Hao and said:
"Who are you?"
"Huntian Holy Land, Zhao Feixing!"
The young man bowed, but his expression remained cold.
"Are you here to reason?"
Li Hao asked.
Zhao Feixing said coldly, "Everything is about reason."
Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "He wanted to spar with me, I refused, and he attacked me directly. What does that behavior indicate?"
Zhao Feixing was taken aback, his expression changing slightly: "The Green Deer King enjoys sparring with others, he had no ill intentions."
Li Hao said, "I asked what his behavior indicates."
Zhao Feixing fell silent.
Li Hao didn’t bother to lift his eyes again, saying, "If you don’t want to end up like him, don’t bother me. Reason? Ha."
Some people claim to be reasonable, but in reality, they only speak rationally when they are powerless.
"Green Deer King is the Supreme Sage's Disciple. Sir, are you suggesting that you don't consider the Huntian Holy Land at all?"
After a long silence, Zhao Feixing took a deep breath, his face darkening, and his tone carrying a clear threat.
Li Hao knew that the other party had torn off his false facade. He gave a slight cold laugh, seeing no point in wasting words on such a person.
"Get down!"
With a light shout, his Dao Domain suddenly extended, and with a loud boom, it struck the three of them.
Zhao Feixing's face changed instantly, and he shouted in shock and anger, "You dare!"
Suppressing one is the same as suppressing all. Li Hao naturally dared, not out of arrogance, but because some people, even when treated politely, would still attack if they saw you as a threat.
First, he tried to reason, and then he used force. Once the force was applied, the outcome was certain!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Three muffled grunts echoed, the ground cracked, and Zhao Feixing and the other two Holy Sons were pinned to the ground, unable to move.
"We are from the Huntian Holy Land..." Another Holy Son beside him glared with resentment, his eyes filled with hidden malice.
Before he could finish, Sword Qi shot out, piercing his mouth and shredding his tongue.
Li Hao didn't even turn his head, continuing with his own business.
Seeing Li Hao with three more people pinned down, the crowd in the distance knew that when the Supreme Young Hero Battle came, there would be a great spectacle. The Huntian Holy Land, having lost face, would surely seek revenge.
No one cared about right or wrong. Once their pride was damaged, they would demand blood!
"Leaving his name on the Heavenly Stele, suppressing the Supreme Sage's personal disciple, this man is simply mad!"
"I dared to kick the Imperial Family in the Divine Imperial Court and snatch a princess, but that was because I had the backing of a Holy Land and a Sage. Who is his backer?"
"I heard the Thief Saint is closely related to him."
"Thief Saint? That doesn't count. Unless another Supreme Sage steps in, it won't matter in front of the Huntian Holy Land."
"It's just a junior sparring. The Supreme Sage might not personally intervene. Years ago, a Dragon Race Holy Son even killed a Heavenly Saint's son, and their Masters didn't interfere."
"Green Deer King went to provoke first. In my opinion, he deserved it."
"I thought I was arrogant enough, but there's someone even more arrogant than me."
Many people were discussing.
Li Hao finished his third painting, and his Experience points finally reached their limit.
Next, he just needed to comprehend the Dao Mind Realm of the painting to transcend the mortal realm and reach the Tenth Rank, Sainthood Immersion!
Li Hao didn't continue painting. He put away his brush, ink, and paintings into the Heavenly Earth Space, then stretched lazily.
The surrounding discussions now reached his ears. Li Hao heard them but only shook his head slightly. To live a peaceful life, there were only two paths: the first was to become strong, and the second was to learn to bow down.
But neither path could guarantee absolute peace.
After all, many strong people could still be killed or provoke even stronger opponents.
And always bowing down could lead to encountering someone who would push you to the limit.
Peace was best left to fate.
In the Battles of the Ten Thousand Heavens, Sages could not enter. If it came to it, Li Hao would have to give up the Incense of the Supreme Young Hero Battle.
Thinking of this, Li Hao looked at the Green Deer King under him and smiled slightly. "For the time being, you'll be keeping me company."
The Green Deer King was taken aback, his face changing. "What do you want to do?"
Li Hao ignored him and looked at Lin Qingying. "I'll be wandering around. Cultivate well, and we might meet again."
Lin Qingying nodded and whispered, "Be careful."
Li Hao looked at Lin Baiquan and the others in the crowd. He still had a good feeling about Old Feng's personal disciple and considered them family. He then telepathically said, "I'll be wandering around. Farewell."
Lin Baiquan and the others had complex expressions. Li Hao's performance had left them stunned, but now that he had provoked the Huntian Holy Land, even their Master couldn't protect him.
After bidding farewell to his acquaintances, Li Hao let Xiyian return to his wrist, then released a power to bring Hongyue along.
At the same time, he said to the Green Deer King, "If you don't want to lose face here, follow me. Listen to my guidance."
The Green Deer King's face was a mix of shame and anger. Was Li Hao treating him like a mount?
He was a Heaven's Pride, a member of the Human Race!
But Li Hao's words made him waver. He wasn't afraid that Li Hao would take him to a secluded place and kill him. After all, if anything happened to him, whether or not it was Li Hao's doing, the blame would still fall on Li Hao. With countless eyes watching, Li Hao couldn't escape.
With a solemn face, he carried Li Hao on his back and, guided by Li Hao's Telepathy, flew toward a remote area of the Heavenly Stele, leaving behind the crowd gathered outside the Heavenly Stele.
Once they were away from the Heavenly Stele, Li Hao casually pointed in a direction, instructing the Green Deer King to proceed.
He had no specific destination in mind, just the desire to wander around. He wasn't familiar with the Battles of the Ten Thousand Heavens.
Many people watched in stunned silence as the Green Deer King carried Li Hao away. The Green Deer King, who had arrived in a Dragon Carriage and was once treated with great respect, was now reduced to a mount, being ridden by Li Hao.
The news spread quickly and even reached the Huntian Holy Land.
Amid the buzz in various regions, Li Hao, seated on the Green Deer King, arrived at a Lonely Peak.
They paused here for a brief rest.
This place was far from the Heavenly Stele. Along the way, those who tried to follow were driven back by the Sword Qi Li Hao casually released, and they didn't dare to pursue further.
"Art Dao..."
Sitting on the Green Deer King's back, Li Hao's thoughts turned to the Art Dao.
He was just one step away from Comprehend Mindset.
His thoughts returned to the Dao Sound Red Bell in the Sea of Consciousness.
He had sensed earlier that the red bell could continue to resonate. Now, with a gentle touch of his mind, the red bell hummed again, emitting waves of Dao Sound.
The Dao Sound stirred Li Hao's thoughts, causing them to surge. It seemed as though countless Spirit Lights gathered around him, and the Dao Resonance from the surrounding Heaven and Earth converged toward him.
Hongyue couldn't sense the Dao Resonance, but he felt Li Hao's body become ethereal and detached, like a transcendent immortal about to ride the clouds and fly away.
The Green Deer King, however, felt it deeply. His eyes widened in shock. Was this Sudden Enlightenment?!
Just by sitting there, he had achieved Sudden Enlightenment?!
He was taken aback, finding it hard to believe.
But the Dao Resonance gathering around Li Hao was real and tangible.
He felt a surge of anger, even wondering if carrying Li Hao on his back had somehow influenced Li Hao's thoughts, leading to this Sudden Enlightenment.
Li Hao felt his thoughts swirling and seized the opportunity to focus on the Art Dao.
The many memories of Art Dao he had accumulated surfaced in his mind. The random paintings he had created, the discussions with Zhantan over the past few months, the scroll he had painted in front of the Heavenly Stele, and the Genius paintings from the Sword Ancestor Sanctuary—all these images appeared in his mind.
Li Hao's mind calmed, and he closed his eyes to meditate and contemplate.
After a long time, Li Hao opened his eyes again. The surrounding Dao Resonance gradually dissipated, and the countless Spirit Lights that had gathered around him vanished.
Li Hao had a deeper understanding of the Art Dao, but he still hadn't reached the Dao Mind Realm.
The Sudden Enlightenment brought about by the Dao Sound Red Bell was slightly inferior to natural Sudden Enlightenment, but this experience still gave Li Hao profound insights.
Painting wasn't just about brush, ink, and paper; it wasn't just about capturing the appearance and essence.
It's easy to paint the skin and bones, but hard to capture the heart.
Previously, he had only been able to capture the bones, not truly touching the heart.
Li Hao let out a light breath, feeling his thoughts grow weary. He rubbed his temples to ease his mind.
Countless stars shone brightly overhead, their brilliance breathtaking.
Li Hao's mood lifted as he gazed at the vast expanse of the night sky.
The Battles of the Ten Thousand Heavens, located above the Thirty-Three Realms, was incredibly close to the All Heavens Stars.
From a distance, he could see the pockmarked surfaces of these stars.
"Truly a beautiful sight..."
Li Hao murmured to himself. Suddenly, his eyes flickered, and a ray of Spirit Light flashed through his mind.
