Chapter 238: Chapter 31 A Sword Opens the Sky_2
A Sword Cleaves the Heavens!
The clouds parted, revealing a brilliant sunrise-like radiance, and the great snow unexpectedly ceased.
With a casual punch, Li Hao unleashed endless winds, sweeping away the snow from the mountainous landscape. Wherever his gaze landed, the snow swirled and soared, forming a blizzard that forcefully pushed dozens of miles away.
Without the snow, the ambient temperature across dozens of miles seemed to have risen.
Spring began to reveal itself on the earth slowly.
A smile emerged on Li Hao's face, feeling as though he could inhale and exhale the essence of the heavens and the earth.
"Lend me a spring breeze worth a hundred thousand, bold enough to change the face of heaven and earth!"
He casually tossed a withered branch, bent down, and picked up the stunned Little White Fox at his feet, rubbing its ears while smiling, "Have you learned it?"
It's a lost cause... the Little White Fox's eyes were blank.
Li Hao chuckled, carried it in his arms, and turned to leave, stepping so lightly that each stride spanned ten miles, his speed through the air increasing even more.
A few steps later, Li Hao returned to Heavenly Gate Pass, inside the small courtyard.
On a rocking chair in the courtyard, Feng Boping lay swaying gently. Hearing the movement, he slightly opened one eye and looked towards Li Hao.
Then, he gradually opened the other eye and sat up straight, surprised as he asked, "Have you reached the Three Immortal Realms?"
"Not yet," Li Hao put down the Little White Fox.
"Great Grandmaster Realm?"
Feng Boping took another look and sensed that Li Hao's casual demeanor seemed perfectly seamless, as if he could react to an attack at any moment—a kind of aura only present in the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Li Hao slightly nodded.
Feng Boping was momentarily speechless; dear boy, he hadn't even reached the Great Grandmaster Realm when he suppressed all the grandmasters under the heavens before.
But that was expected since from the battle in Qingzhou, Li Hao had just entered the Heavenly Human Realm, and it had been barely over half a year... Ah, Feng was feeling a bit jealous again, despite having already witnessed Li Hao's cultivation speed. From Heavenly Human Realm to Heavenly Man Perfection in just over half a year, that was still quite exaggerated.
This kid, I haven't even seen him cultivate much... Feng Boping pondered inwardly. If it wasn't for watching Li Hao grow up, he might have felt quite envious.
But with Li Hao's current pace, he felt that soon this little wretch would truly be able to sit equally with them old timers.
The next ten years of the Dayu Divine Dynasty would belong to this young lad.
Thinking this, Feng Boping's lips slightly curled into a smile, but then he thought of the imminent threat of Wan Shan, the Demon King, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"If something happens, we'll leave immediately," Feng Boping told Li Hao solemnly.
Li Hao nodded slightly. Although he had now reached the limit of Grandmaster Realm, self-proclaiming the Land Immortal Realm, he still wasn't confident about clashing with a Demon King from the Four Stands Realm.
He had heard Feng talk about the distinctions within the Four Stands Realm.
The Four Stands Realm, though it's called one realm, actually consists of four distinct stages.
The first stage is the Tao Heart Realm, the second is the Defying Fate Realm, and the third is the Ultimate Study Realm.
The final stage is the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, opening up Taoist sects and possessing the power of Ask Sage.
The gap between each stage is tremendous. Feng belongs to the second stage, the Defying Fate Realm, having the power to alter fate for others or himself once.
This ability to defy fate is not only capable of transforming a frail constitution into an extraordinary prodigy.
It also allows one to reverse dire situations when faced with a life-threatening crisis, thus securing a sliver of survival chance!
In other words, reaching the Defying Fate Realm grants one a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to avoid death in extreme circumstances.
Most in the Defying Fate Realm keep this opportunity for themselves, but many elders from the Five Great Divine General Mansions have given this chance to their descendants to continue their legacy.
Like Second Uncle, who is in the Ultimate Study Realm, such as the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, situated in the Divine General Mansion.
The final step, the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, represents the pinnacle of existence within the Dayu Divine Dynasty, few and far between, and the most well-known among them currently is the Buddha Lord of Mount Wuliang, who is of this realm.
The others are either not well-known or have long since fallen.
Such as the ancestors of the Five Great Divine General Mansions, all were in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, ushering in an era of peace for the Dayu Divine Dynasty!
Feng had previously engaged a Demon King, who was only at Tao Heart Realm, but adept at escaping, so Feng refrained from pursuing deeply due to concerns for Li Hao's safety.
If the Wan Shan Demon King were to strike this time, Feng speculated that the Demon King himself might be in the Defying Fate Realm. Coupled with the previous Demon King from the Tao Heart Realm, that would make two; if the Wan Shan Demon King managed to engage Feng while the previous Demon King attacked Li Hao, Li Hao would struggle to defend.
Beings of the Tao Heart Realm carry attacks imbued with the laws of Taoist Charm, which are bound to hit their mark.
That is to say, as long as the opponent strikes, Li Hao must endure the attack.
Currently, Li Hao is only in the Heavenly Human Realm, and even the Indestructible Realm of the Immortal Realm could hardly withstand it, a casual strike could cripple him.
In the Unwithering Realm, he could barely withstand a hit or two, assuming the opponent isn't using full force.
"Hopefully they'll take their time coming,"
Li Hao said.
If he could enter into Spiritual Awakening, he could add points and advance directly into the Three Immortal Realms.
Feng Boping looked at Li Hao, his heart slightly stirred; given time, it wouldn't be difficult for Li Hao to step into the Three Immortal Realms.
Although the leap from Heavenly Human Realm to the Three Immortal Realm is also an immensely challenging milestone, numerous prodigies have stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm at a young age, yet it took them over a hundred years to enter the Three Immortal Realm—such examples are abundant. However, he had great confidence in Li Hao.
Still, even if he entered the Three Immortal Realm, the gap with the Four Stands Realm would still be too vast.
And with the Water Qilin gone, these Demon Kings might not be patient for long.
"No matter what, you focus on your cultivation, leave the rest to me," Feng Boping said.
