Follow the path of Dao from infancy-Chapter 825 - 167: Ninth Stage of Controlling Dao, Source Saint

Chapter 825: Chapter 167: Ninth Stage of Controlling Dao, Source Saint

As the Supreme Genius Battle approached, Li Hao repeatedly struck the small Dao bell in these tranquil moments before the storm, seeking to comprehend the Artistic Path.

With the fourth strike, Li Hao’s understanding of the Artistic Path had reached the pinnacle of the Ninth Stage.

He vaguely touched upon that final step of transcendence, from the Ninth Stage to the Tenth Stage, from the mortal to the Saint, owning his own Artistic Path.

Li Hao continued with the fifth strike of the Dao bell, hoping to achieve a breakthrough with this effort.

However, numerous spiritual thoughts gathered, yet still lingered in previous perceptions; the path of the Painting Saint at this final step could not be achieved merely by spiritual thoughts, and although this strike of the Dao bell seemed like sudden insight, it ultimately wasn’t true insight.

Li Hao realized that relying only on this bell couldn’t elevate his skills to become a Saint instantly, so he swiftly shifted his thoughts to Chess Tao amidst the echoes of the Dao bell vibrations.

If he could comprehend up to the Ninth Stage in Chess Tao, his strength would also greatly increase.

As his spiritual thoughts gathered, his understanding of Chess Tao rapidly deepened with bursts of spiritual illumination.

Then, Li Hao struck the Dao bell for the sixth time, its color now extremely faint, as if it would dissipate at any moment.

The enlightenment brought by this vibration allowed Li Hao’s Chess Tao to swiftly ascend, inching toward the Ninth Stage.

Li Hao didn’t stop, pushing forward with a seventh strike. This time the red glow completely vanished, and the Dao bell, after vibrating, gradually dissipated from his Sea of Consciousness.

The resulting spiritual thoughts from this last vibration allowed Li Hao’s Chess Tao to swiftly breakthrough, touching the true Tao Realm.

Two and a half strikes of the Dao bell elevated him from the Eighth Rank of Chess Tao to a near-perfect stage of the Ninth.

Li Hao estimated that two strikes of the Dao bell were equivalent to one instance of sudden insight; the bell could strike seven times, providing significant assistance when hitting a bottleneck.

Looking at his enhanced Chess Tao now embedded within the Control Dao, numerous thoughts surged.

The Ninth Stage Dao encompasses the mastery of all Dao laws and energies at this stage.

At this moment, Li Hao had truly reached the pinnacle of the Dao Law Realm, where he could command laws with his words, creating and annihilating with a single thought!

And, with the Ninth Stage Dao and having reached the zenith of the Dao Law Realm, combined with his understanding of the Nine Stage of the Physical Body Path, Li Hao suddenly felt that if Control Dao and Physical Body Dao could perfectly integrate, maybe he could touch the pinnacle of the Tao Comprehension Realm.

The two realms of Tao Comprehension, the True Man Realm — integrating the Tao Realm into oneself, Dao Power invulnerable.

Dao Law Realm — controlling the laws between heaven and earth.

If he could integrate both, embedding laws into himself, he would be impervious to all laws, with unhindered Dao Power!

Li Hao’s eyes gradually brightened up, if he could really achieve this, then even if he stood still and resisted nothing, other strong figures in the Tao Comprehension Realm would hardly harm him!

With his thoughts clarified, Li Hao immediately tried to integrate laws into himself.

But while it was easy to conceive, it was hard to achieve; after many failed attempts, Li Hao suddenly thought of the process of absorbing and refining Extreme Dao Power, and instantly, a thought sparked—could laws also be refined?

He immediately used Control Dao to imprint the laws into his Divine Blood.

Previously, he had cultivated a Divine Blood Body, containing Dao Power within; its capabilities were top-notch within the True Man Realm, invulnerable Dao Power. Now, he wove the laws into minuscule forces like threads, weaving through the Divine Blood, then slowly began refining.

However, incorporating the power of laws into the tiny Divine Blood was extremely challenging.

Fortunately, with his understanding of the Ninth Stage Dao and his control over laws having reached the peak of the Dao Law Realm, after expending a lot of mental effort, he finally managed to imprison a law within the Divine Blood and completely refine it!

From then on, his Divine Blood contained the power of this law.

If met with a similar or opposing law, it would either neutralize or resist.

“Really, it worked!”

As the first law was successfully refined, Li Hao’s eyes lit up; this path was correct, and he could continue!

However, this path, like the condensation of vital energy, also required time.

This time consumption was unavoidable, and now Li Hao understood why others in cultivation would sometimes need centuries, refining and comprehending is like building a house – rushing was useless, and haste might cause it not to be properly assembled, leading to collapse.

Luckily, in the Land of All Saints the energy was dense and laws plentiful, Li Haos’s refining speed was not slow. In the following days, he daily refined laws, and his body became increasingly formidable and fearsome.

But, there was only a month left till the Supreme Genius Battle.

Every day, Li Hao secluded himself in the courtyard for cultivation. During these days, Lin Baichuan, Chu Hanwei, and others were also making their final sprints, all in seclusion, or finding their own ways to ease their minds, not visiting each other, wary of disturbing someone else.

As the competition neared, Li Hao had refined hundreds of laws within his body, exuding an unusual aura, just standing there made him seem like the center surrounded by laws.

“Unfortunately, this final step in Artistic Path requires a true sudden insight.”

Li Hao emerged from seclusion, feeling the abundant power throughout his body, significantly more powerful than before, but compared to a Saint, there was still no qualitative change.

Previously, in the Eternal Dao Domain alone, he could suppress a Semi-Saint, easily defeating peers of the same realm. Now, with additional vital energy and refined laws within him, he was on the path to the pinnacle of the Tao Comprehension Realm, his power vastly increased, but the threshold to a Saint was incredibly high, the gap too vast.

Previously, although he had injured Feng with the Immortal Guide’s unparalleled sword technique.

His own power was still insufficient to confront a Saint.
