Chapter 1023: Chapter 211: Ten Years of Guarding, Return to the Holy Land (13,000-word update requesting monthly votes!)_8

Li Hao listened to those arguments, feeling it was laughable and yet sorrowful. The All Saints before him now seemed like common folk, debating over their own gains and losses.

Indeed, how many can truly see through the words gain and loss, neither fighting nor competing, going along with whatever happens?

If one could truly achieve this, they wouldn’t have cultivated to become a Saint.

After all, to cultivate to this level requires an enormous effort, and one must contend for heavenly secrets every step of the way.

Li Hao’s gaze shifted to the Source Ancestor, who remained silent.

Even the Holy Master of Law was silent at this moment, not speaking up.

To them, becoming immortal seemed to outweigh sacrificing a small world.

Though it was the Divine King who did this, and the suggestion came from him too, they all tacitly agreed.

Li Hao looked at the Holy Master of Law and asked, “What about you? How do you view this? Does your law accommodate it?”

The Holy Master of Law didn’t expect Li Hao to question him. Hearing this, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he replied, “In this world, many disasters and calamities occur that aren’t within the realm of law. The supreme law is the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao operates on the principle of the weak being prey to the strong. All things follow this; birds eat insects, eagles eat birds.”

Li Hao nodded, “This is your law, a self-serving law.”

The Holy Master of Law’s face changed, appearing angry, but he suppressed his fury out of consideration.

Feeling disappointed, Li Hao found his desire to return waning and said, “I don’t need this kind of Extreme Dao Power, there’s no need for everyone to argue.”

Upon hearing Li Hao’s words, the All Saints all fell silent.

Saints like the Literary Saint showed joy on their faces, looking at Li Hao with newfound respect.

Previously, they didn’t know Li Hao well, but in this huge dilemma, one could see a person’s true nature.

The Sword Master also sighed in relief. He had vaguely felt Li Hao would refuse, but hearing it confirmed from Li Hao’s own mouth reaffirmed his judgment.

The other debating Saints, upon hearing him, also felt a bit sheepish, secretly relieved.

Although they were in agreement, it was better if such a thing never happened. Human nature is indeed complex.

The Divine King responded, “What compensation do you want?”

“The Extreme Attack Secret Technique, and the Blood Origin Great Method of the Divine Clan,” Li Hao said calmly.

These two, one being the Extreme Dao Power usage explored by the Divine King himself, and the other his trump card, could absorb the power of similar bloodlines, converting it into his own strength, temporarily skyrocketing his power to incredible levels.

This was the real means by which the Divine King dared to challenge the Source Ancestor.

Earlier in the Void Sky Abyss, Li Hao had noticed this. Mastering this method would allow him to counter it.

Besides these, there was nothing else he needed.

Upon hearing Li Hao’s request, the Divine King’s expression changed, looking somewhat troubled, as these requests touched upon his core.

Especially the Blood Origin Divine Method, which was his strongest technique.

“The Blood Origin Divine Method is not possible, but the Attack Secret Technique can be given to you. Additionally, I know of a Forbidden Land containing top-tier Immortal Level Divine Medicine, capable of refining your Physical Body Saint Path to a higher level. How about this as an exchange?” the Divine King proposed.

Li Hao frowned slightly, observing the Divine King’s resolute appearance, it seemed the Blood Origin Divine Method touched his bottom line.

He didn’t press further. Even though he couldn’t master this technique, with his current power, if he truly wanted to slay the Divine King, he wouldn’t need such an approach.

“Alright.”

Li Hao nodded in agreement.

Seeing Li Hao agree, both the Divine King and the Source Ancestor sighed in relief.

The other All Saints also showed delight on their faces at these words.

“In that case, I will have someone prepare it now. Tian Yu, bring my Incense Treasure Box,”

the Source Ancestor immediately instructed.

Among the All Saints, Xiao Tianyu’s expression was complex. The Li Hao he once competed against was now someone even the All Heavens Saints were unwilling to offend.

He lowered his head in response to the Source Ancestor’s words and then turned to leave.

The Divine King also used his Divine Thought to transmit to Li Hao, passing on various Extreme Attack Secret Techniques and information about the Forbidden Land.

Moments later, Xiao Tianyu returned with a treasure box.

This was a Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapon, only at one tribulation level, but with special effects, capable of storing Incense Fire Power.

The Source Ancestor handed it to Li Hao, saying, “Here is a hundred years’ worth of Incense Fire from a world. If you achieve Incense Sainthood, it will be enough for you to withstand Earth Disaster and advance to a Second Tribulation Saint.”

Li Hao accepted it without ceremony, storing the treasure box.

“What about the Heaven and Earth Treasures?”

The Source Ancestor and the Divine King exchanged glances, communicating telepathically.

The Divine King said in a low tone, “I only have thirty pieces, you’ll have to cover the remaining twenty!”

The Source Ancestor’s face showed a trace of gloom, but he eventually agreed, adding some other terms. Soon, the two of them gathered a hundred Heaven and Earth Treasures and handed them to Li Hao.

Li Hao naturally accepted and stored them all.

“Now, should the Immortal Path not be opened for us to enter?”

The Divine King asked, seeing Li Hao had put the items away, speaking in a deep voice.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow, replying, “Since when was it said you all would enter? Aren’t these the gifts to compensate for the previous matter?”

Upon hearing this, both the Source Ancestor and the Divine King’s expressions changed. The Saints were also stunned, their faces showing anger but also restrained.

“Haotian Venerate, since the apology has been made, this Immortal Divine Road belongs to everyone. You are also from our realm, and if we proceed to the Immortal God Land, there can be mutual support. Wouldn’t you agree?”

The Source Ancestor spoke, his tone still gentle, with a hint of persuasion.

Li Hao nodded and said, “If it’s the Immortal God World in your imagination, I naturally wouldn’t stop you, but unfortunately, the other side of this gate is too perilous. If you enter, death is certain!”
