Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1187: Chapter 254: Calamity Clan, Great Dream Nine Abysses (10,000-word update)_5

Watching the other party leave, Li Hao’s thoughts remained on the fishing, and after saying goodbye, he turned back and seriously resumed fishing.

On the other side, at the projection place left in the square by Li Hao, Feng Boping and others arrived one after another.

Most of them had been tested in the Heart Inquiry Tower and achieved a Heavenly Dao Heart, but only Lin Qingyue reached the level of five echoes.

The resonance still lingered on her, and anyone could hear it as long as it was stirred.

“We are not her match; it seems we’re truly old.”

Feng Boping and others were surprised and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The Sword Master was also observing Lin Qingyue with interest, clearly not expecting this little girl in the sect to have a better Dao Heart than himself.

Everyone went for the test, and only Lin Qingyue reached five echoes, having the highest Dao Heart Realm among them.

Seeing the gazes from everyone, Lin Qingyue blushed; she had previously verified a Heavenly Dao Heart with only four echoes, but somehow she reached five echoes now.

She thought it might be the excruciating five-year wait that transformed her Dao Heart.

“Your soul life is sufficient, and your Dao Heart now meets the requirement; you can comprehend that Sword Intent. If you succeed, you’ll become a disciple of a top sect in the True Realm.” Li Hao’s projection said to Lin Qingyue.

Lin Qingyue asked, “And what about you?”

“I am also comprehending,”

Li Hao’s projection replied.

Hearing this, Lin Qingyue felt relieved and didn’t inquire about Li Hao’s Dao Heart. In her mind, what she could achieve, Li Hao could certainly achieve. This young man was always dazzling and out of reach in her eyes.

Lin Qingyue proceeded to the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower in the high sky to comprehend the Sword Intent.

A figure flew from the giant sword to inspect Lin Qingyue’s Dao Heart, and upon hearing the five echoes and seeing her soul life not even a thousand years old, showed satisfaction.

Although Lin Qingyue was merely a Semi-Saint, having such a Dao Heart at this level of cultivation marked her as remarkable.

“Look quickly, someone can go comprehend that Sword Intent!”

“A Dao Heart of five echoes, yet that little girl is only a Semi-Saint.”

“A mere Semi-Saint’s Dao Heart surpasses our True Immortals?”

Many people looked up, their eyes filled with envy.

In the void, Lin Qingyue saw that, besides herself, only two others were in the area by the giant sword.

At this moment, both were focusing on the Sword Intent in the void ahead, undistracted by her arrival.

“As long as you comprehend this Sword Intent, you succeed,”

the young man in the True Treasure Silver Robe on the giant sword smiled and said.

Lin Qingyue had previously observed this Sword Intent, but watching from below presented obstacles. Here, however, it seemed tangible and she could clearly sense the various fluctuations it emitted.

She took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and began to comprehend earnestly.

She wanted to catch up to Li Hao’s pace.

Inside her, where the broken sword embryo had been, a void sword embryo had already formed, and now faint sword shadows, like starlight, floated within it.

…

“My Dao Heart is not enough; it seems I need to comprehend the Dao Heart first,”

The Sword Master, after seeing Lin Qingyue go to comprehend that Sword Intent, retracted his gaze and said goodbye to Li Hao’s projection temporarily, then left the place.

Li Hao’s projection, accompanied by Feng and others, continued to roam around the square.

Besides the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower recruiting disciples, many other sects were here for disciple recruitment as well.

Among them were the Earth Sect and the Heavenly Sect, which had relatively accessible requirements.

Soon, Chi Guang, Lin Shuhai, and others all found sects suitable for themselves.

“The True Realm is vast; it is time for us to part ways,”

The Literary Saint said, as he and his disciple Lin Shuhai, among others, intended to apprentice under a Heavenly Four Sect, fitting their path as they fought with poetry and books.

Li Hao wanted to persuade them otherwise, but seeing their minds made up, he knew more words were futile.

Moreover, he could not provide them with resources for cultivation in their chosen path of the sword.

“We have journeyed together for some time; in the future, we shall have the chance to meet again. The True Realm is vast; let us explore it individually,”

Feng Boping said as he bid farewell to the Literary Saint.

One bore a scholarly spirit and a righteous aura, the other was the ill-reputed Thief Saint. Despite their contrasting reputations, their time together in the Haotian Sacred Land had forged a mutual understanding, making their parting somewhat poignant.

Others also came to realize they each had their paths to tread, and with varying levels of talent, it was up to fate if they would meet again.

Chi Guang, Zhan Tan, and others apprenticed into the Earth Sect, which had more flexible standards and, because of their high talents, they were top prodigies among the All Heavens, with hopes of advancing to Inner Sect Disciples in the future.

Over time, fewer people remained around Li Hao’s projection. Seeing Feng find a suitable sect, the Tomb Sect, one specializing in stealing treasures from forbidden lands for trade and known for its wide connections within the Heavenly Sects, Li Hao nodded in understanding.

“Old man, I won’t stay by your side to burden you; I’ll wait to see you reach the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, and then I’ll come to you,”

Feng Boping said to Li Hao with a smile, though his eyes betrayed reluctance.

Li Hao could tell that Feng didn’t truly want to apprentice under the Tomb Sect; he simply wanted to sever personal ties so as not to burden Li Hao with worries.

“I’ll be waiting for you,”

Li Hao didn’t try to persuade him otherwise, he just spoke firmly.

Feng Boping revealed a contented smile as he bid farewell to Li Hao.

Days passed.

Exclamations came from the square.

Someone emerged from the eighth level of the Heart Inquiry Tower, flying out from the clouds above.

“Good heavens, look quickly!”

“I just felt the vibration of the Heart Inquiry Tower, and I’ve heard it requires at least an Eternal Dao Heart to elicit such a reaction.”

“The Heart Inquiry Tower, damaged in the Great War of Emperor’s Fall, was said to be an immortal-prohibited emperor weapon, capable of verifying the Heavenly Dao Emperor Heart!”
