Li Hao wasn’t in a hurry to achieve a breakthrough or cultivate; his mind was focused on Chess Tao, Carving, Cooking, and other areas, leaving no room for distraction in cultivation.
After all, if these skills could break through, the benefits would be greater and the cost-effectiveness higher.
Even so, his Sixth Level of Form Realm had reached the Origin Realm, and his body autonomously absorbed Heaven and Earth Immortal Power, naturally condensing his Immortal Body and cultivating.
The Heavenly Immortal Body was being gradually constructed, and over time, it slowly took shape...
And the Heavenly Immortal Body allowed Li Hao’s immortal power within to accumulate densely, transforming into a vast mist that vaguely emitted a liquid-like immortal power.
When the immortal power bees like water, it signifies the Great Acplishment of the Heavenly Immortal Body.
During these tranquil years, Su Wanqing often visited the Immortal Courtyard to see Su Muqing, and also to check if Li Hao was still persisting.
Additionally, having previously witnessed Li Hao’s Painting Realm skills, she was also keen to consult him on Painting Skills. Although she felt regret for Li Hao’s unrealistic hopes, a knowledgeable teacher is worthy of respect, and it didn’t hinder her from earnestly seeking Li Hao’s advice on Painting Skills.
Whenever they discussed the Painting Dao, Su Wanqing noticed a light sparkling in the young man’s eyes, his spirit lifted. It was as if a tall, imposing swordsman was passionately recounting the tales of Jianghu, galloping while singing freely, exuding a special confidence and radiance.
Every time Su Wanqing arrived, Su Muqing would open the hall doors, or they would chat casually at the entrance, or stroll in the garden appreciating the scenery, offering Li Hao rare glimpses of his object of affection.
As for the cold and disdainful glances cast by her, he automatically ignored them.
"It’s truly unimaginable how the Painting Dao enpasses so many considerations and can contain so much of the Great Dao Origin."
Sitting across the chess table, Su Wanqing propped her chin on her hands, listening intently as Li Hao tirelessly explained the Painting Dao, her eyes gleaming with interest.
In the sunlight, the young man’s face was backlit, glowing with brilliance, not losing out in the slightest to the great clan prodigies she had seen in petitions.
"In this world, if one can walk any path to its extreme, it can enpass all things."
Li Hao gently said.
This too was a feeling he had gained after prehending the True Meaning of Painting Dao.
And why shouldn’t the Sword Dao enpass all things in the world: wind, fire, thunder, lightning, space-time, gold, and wood!
A drop of water can reflect the world, and a blade of grass can pierce the sun and moon!
Hearing Li Hao’s words, Su Wanqing was slightly stunned, suddenly feeling a flash of enlightenment, as if she had touched upon something, yet it was elusive.
She knew that her realm was too low, which was why she couldn’t grasp that fleeting moment of insight.
"Do you really like playing chess?"
Su Wanqing shifted her gaze from the young man’s face to the chessboard, though she didn’t understand Chess Tao, considering it a pastime for old scholars; she had no interest in it.
Li Hao nodded.
"You have so many hobbies. Is it true what my father said, that you only have a hundred years of soul life?"
Su Wanqing couldn’t help but ask curiously, although she knew her father wasn’t lying and had no reason to deceive, it was still hard to imagine that in just a hundred years, one could reach such a realm, with such a level of Painting Dao.
Li Hao smiled and nodded gently.
Su Wanqing sighed softly, saying to Li Hao, "With your talent, it’s really a pity. As far as I know my sister, she won’t change her mind, and besides... the Painting Dao is ultimately a minor path. No one can pare to that Lin Family’s Emperor’s Son."
She looked at Li Hao, not feeling any aversion towards him, and after several consultations, she even found him to be a true prodigy, not at all inferior to those great clan monsters she had seen. Unfortunately, his opponent was that Lin Family’s True Dragon.
In front of him, other men in the world paled.
Li Hao was slightly silent; a hundred years of panionship was indeed too short. Perhaps if he could break through to the Immortal King Realm within a hundred years, he might have the chance to negotiate again with the Su Family Head, otherwise, he wouldn’t even have the qualification to negotiate.
A hundred years... Li Hao silently picked up a black piece, making a move into the heart of the white pieces.
Determining victory or defeat often only requires one move, the most crucial move!
Everything else is just arrangement, just a guise to obscure the enemy’s view.
Seeing the sky darken, Su Wanqing stood up to bid farewell to Li Hao, heading to the main hall to say goodbye to Su Muqing.
Su Muqing sometimes observed the courtyard situation, especially when Su Wanqing visited. Seeing her sister approaching, she frowned and said:
"It’s better not to get too close to such a person. With such a mindset, he is destined not to walk far on that Supreme path!"
Su Wanqing nodded slightly, understanding this well. The path was extremely arduous, and from ancient times countless prodigies had faltered on it. Beyond talent, bloodline, cultivation resources, opportunities, perception, and other factors, what was also needed was an invincible Dao heart!
The Dao heart must remain untroubled by external matters, unaffected by external influences; it is indispensable.
"Sister, cultivate well. When it’s time for the Sword Pool Tournament, we’re counting on you to shine."
Su Wanqing smiled, not discussing Li Hao with her sister. She knew Su Muqing held disdain for Li Hao, but for some reason, after more conversations with the young man, her impression of him had quietly shifted. Still, considering some of his actions, she couldn’t help but feel regret and sigh.
"Mm, you too, when the time es, let’s both claim victory in the tournament!"
Su Muqing, thinking of the Sword Pool Tournament in a few years, couldn’t help but smile.
Time passed.
A year went by, and finally, Li Hao’s Heavenly Immortal Body stepped into Great Acplishment.
Within him, immortal power gathered like dew, descending from the thick immortal clouds, merging like sweet dew into his Immortal Body, his body immediately filled with a strong, abundant immortal power.
If before, the immortal power merely wandered through his body, and his was only an air sac, now it had begun to transform into a water bag. Even at the same First Level of Immortal Monarch Realm, a single finger of immortal power could suppress other ordinary First Level Immortal Monarchs.
With the All Heavens Star Vein and the absorption and transformation of the Sixth Level of Form Realm, although he hadn’t deliberately cultivated, and without outwardly displaying the All Heavens Star Vein, his absorption speed of Heaven and Earth Immortal Power was far superior to ordinary people, parable to the full efforts of some great clan prodigies.
As for his Immortal Body reaching Great Acplishment, while Li Hao had some insights, he wasn’t overly elated—this path was still long; he was merely stepping forward from the starting point. After all, who he would face in the future wasn’t just those great clan prodigies, but the life and death adversary, the Southern Domain Venerable!
Time flew by.
Three years, five years, the immortal dew within Li Hao accumulated more and more, from reaching the Great Acplishment period to being thoroughly fulfilled, converging into the Perfection of Heavenly Immortal Great Acplishment!
