Chapter 939: Chapter 189: Achieving Imperial Fame, Divine Kingâs Invitation (+4K Guaranteed Extra 13)_6
Li Hao quietly condensed his Qi veins in the small courtyard.
Over the past half month, his Qi veins had already condensed to 1,100 strands.
The power from just the Qi veins exceeded ten times the Extreme Realm of the Heaven and Earth Vein!
It must be understood that Qi veins can hold vastly more power, surpassing the Mortal Pulse within the body. The force he could instantly gather was nearly a hundred times that of the Heaven and Earth Vein!
This was the terrifying nature of the Final Realm, and he hadnât even reached the end yet. Unlike the Divine Blood, which had already achieved the ultimate state of Universal Force.
On this day, as he habitually trained in condensing his Star Qi Veins in the courtyard, someone suddenly came to visit.
The visitor was an Inner Sect Disciple from the Holy Land. Li Hao was puzzled; usually, no one dared to disturb him outside his courtyard. Even people like Lin Baichuan and other Saint Heirs were warned by Feng not to casually intrude upon him.
âWhat is your business?â
Li Hao paused his cultivation and questioned the Inner Sect Disciple.
The discipleâs face was pale. Seeing Li Hao infused with the aura of the Great Dao, he became increasingly anxious, directly kneeling and kowtowing, saying:
âSaint, someone is looking for you. She sent me to deliver the message, saying her name is Xiaoxiao and she invites you to meet at Wuming Mountain outside the Holy Land.â
Li Hao was slightly startledâYing Xiaoxiao?
His expression subtly shifted. Could it be related to the Divine Clan?
According to his thoughts it became clear. He didnât punish the Inner Sect Disciple, as it was obvious he had been coerced by Ying Xiaoxiao to deliver the message. Xiaoxiaoâs identity was sensitive, and she couldnât infiltrate the Heavenly Sacred Land without being noticed by Feng. Thus, she had to rely on someone else to pass the word.
Allowing the disciple to leave, he stood up and chose a crack in the Heaven and Earth to step through.
He hadnât brought Emperor Yu and other old acquaintances from the Mortal World to this place, considering the massive impact the Divine Clan war might have. He planned to wait until those matters calmed before acting.
No one knew what chaos the Divine Ancestor might unleash when the time came.
Soon, Li Hao arrived at Wuming Mountain, not far outside the Holy Land.
Upon reaching the spot, Li Hao glanced around and saw an aura emerging. Ying Xiaoxiao, dressed in green robes, floated before him like a blooming flower. Her gaze lingered briefly on Li Hao before she took a moment to smile and said:
âArenât you afraid someone might use my name to lure you out and harm you?â
Having calculated the time, Xiaoxiao felt that the Inner Sect Disciple captured during her external mission should just now be delivering the message, yet Li Hao had already arrived. This indicated that he hadnât hesitated at allâŠ
Thinking of this, her smile brightened considerably, as if some of the shadows in her heart had been swept away.
âDo many people know your name?â
Li Hao replied with a faint smile.
Ying Xiaoxiao immediately understood his implication and scoffed lightly: âThen what if I had malicious intent?â
Li Hao sighed helplessly and said, âLetâs get to the point. You came to me because your Divine Ancestor has resurrected? That was quick.â
Though Li Hao had brushed past her question, Ying Xiaoxiao didnât grow angry. Instead, a peculiar joy rose in her heart. He seemed to trust her deeply, and truthfully, sheâd never harbored any intention of harming Li Hao.
However, when she recalled the instructions given by the Ancestor, her smile gradually faded, and her brows lightly furrowed.
âThe Ancestor has indeed awakened and is preparing for war against the Source Ancestor. Back then, the Ancestor was sealed away by a coalition led by the Source Ancestor and numerous Supreme Saints. Now, the Ancestor plans to settle things one by one. But those Supreme Saints arenât simple opponents; once the war begins, theyâll quickly perceive it and launch thunderous attacks, aiming for rapid victory to seize the upper handâŠâ
She spoke softly, revealing the Divine Clanâs plans to Li Hao. If Li Hao were to betray them, the impact on the Divine Clan would be significant. Yet, if she didnât disclose this information, she felt unable to proceed with her explanation.
Li Hao listened attentively, surprised that she had shared these details. As someone from the Divine General Mansion, he knew the weight such intelligence carried in a war.
Am I really this trustworthy?
He didnât speak, merely waited silently for her to continue.
Ying Xiaoxiao continued, saying: âThe Ancestor mentioned that when the war begins, the Source Ancestor will likely rally other forces. Given your outstanding performance, the Source Ancestor will certainly attempt to recruit you to his side. If, at the critical moment, you strike and sabotage the Source Ancestor, and the mission succeeds, the Extreme Dao Power lost during the war will all be gifted to you. This, I swear upon my Dao Heart, is true.â
With that, she swiftly made a Dao Heart vow, her expression earnest as she looked at Li Hao.
Li Hao remained silent. Even without her Dao Heart vow, he believed she was telling the truth.
But, this was just her promise; it didnât mean the Ancestor would uphold such a guarantee.
After all, he didnât have any personal connection to the Divine Ancestor.
âAre these conditions meant to lure me? Do you have more?â
Li Hao asked.
Sabotaging the Source Ancestor was an incredibly dangerous task. Li Hao wasnât confident he could succeed.
Moreover, the known power wielded by the Source Ancestor, including the Incense Fire Divine Realm and the Seven Tribulation Emperor Weapon mentioned by Feng, was already formidable.
And surely, there must be hidden cards?
No doubt, and they would be terrifying.
When Ying Xiaoxiao heard Li Haoâs query, her cheeks flushed slightly. She turned her head, casually surveying the surrounding scenery before replying: âThereâs also incense fire. Youâll be granted three small worldsâ worth of incense fire, fully under your rule and control.â
âAnything else?â
Li Hao asked again.
A flicker of irritation appeared in Ying Xiaoxiaoâs eyes as she spoke: âNo more!â
Upon hearing this, Li Haoâs gaze revealed traces of disappointment. These conditions werenât enough to make him take such a big risk.
Whether incense fire or Extreme Dao Power, he could accumulate those gradually.
Once his Sacrificial Dao reached the God Realm, he figured incense fire and Extreme Dao Power would have amassed sufficiently by then.
By then, anything he wanted, he could obtain himself.
Therefore, receiving these things in advance didnât hold much significance.
This time, the war between the Divine Clan and the Source Ancestor didnât interest Li Hao much. But since Xiaoxiao was involved, he asked: âWhen the war begins, will you be participating?â
Seeing the disappointment and reluctance in Li Haoâs eyes, Ying Xiaoxiao felt a pang of loss, yet simultaneously a quiet relief. It seemed Li Hao wouldnât have to risk himself.
âOf course. As the Goddess of the Divine Clan, itâs my duty to fight on the frontlines.â
Ying Xiaoxiao responded.
Li Hao fell silent before speaking: âI canât take on the task of sabotaging the Source Ancestor. But if you find yourself in danger, you may seek my aid. I will do everything I can to protect youâbut only you.â
