Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1672 Chapter 423: Southern Domain Acquaintance, Opening the Chaos Dao! (Three-in-One)

To reach such a profound realm and be accepted as a master's disciple despite being born into a minor clan with no noble bloodline or ancestral heritage?

This realization caused the three to gain a newfound respect for Li Hao's extraordinary talent.

Just then, three more figures emerged from the swirling vortices nearby.

Two men and one woman arrived. The woman looked to be in her late twenties and possessed a captivating beauty. Clad in garments of snow-silver, her hair matched the silvery-gray hue of her clothes, complemented by crystal-clear earrings. She carried herself with a noble air, and despite her gender, her eyes flashed with an arrogance that seemed to demand the submission of heaven and earth.

Li Hao’s pupils contracted slightly. He suspected this was the sixth senior sister his master had mentioned. Judging by that aura, was she also a member of an Emperor Clan?

"This is our little junior brother."

Zhan Qinghuang greeted the newcomers with a smile, showing no signs of superiority.

"Little junior brother?"

The three fixed their gazes on Li Hao. Though momentarily surprised, they quickly offered warm smiles and nodded in his direction.

"Haotian greets his senior brothers and senior sister."

Li Hao performed a respectful bow once again.

"I am your fourth senior brother, Lei Jingfeng," a middle-aged man with a gentle expression introduced himself.

"I am Long Qingge, your fifth senior brother. As you can see, I am a member of the Ancestor Dragon Clan rather than the Human Race, though our master did not mind and was happy to instruct me."

Fifth senior brother Long Qingge appeared as a young boy, his speech still carrying a touch of youthful innocence. However, his eyes were piercing and clear, radiating a domineering dragon power.

"The Ancestor Dragon Clan..." Li Hao’s eyes shifted. He knew them to be one of the ten most formidable clans in the True Realm, rulers of the Eastern Domain, holding a status similar to the Heavenly Palace of the Southern Domain.

"I am your sixth senior sister, Di Lingshu."

The woman in silver nodded softly toward Li Hao. Her beauty was arresting, her eyes sharp and spirited, yet she possessed an aura that was both dignified and otherworldly.

Li Hao mused to himself that she was indeed another from an Emperor Clan. Among the master’s six disciples, it seemed everyone except himself possessed a legendary background.

He felt a complex wave of emotion toward the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor. Despite his talent, he was currently unable to provide any real assistance to his master.

In contrast, the powerful clans backing the other disciples would undoubtedly provide the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor with numerous alliances and influential ties.

"Little junior brother, which clan do you hail from?"

Lei Jingfeng questioned him kindly.

Senior sister Zhan Qinghuang spoke up on Li Hao's behalf, clarifying that he had no clan and had relied solely on his own efforts.

The three were visibly startled as they looked at Li Hao. Without the backing of family resources, even the most brilliant talent is often suppressed. Cultivation, after all, is a path paved with resources. No matter how peerless one's gifts, a lack of a proper environment usually causes such brilliance to fade into the mundane.

That Li Hao had broken through these barriers to be chosen by the master meant he was destined to challenge the elite talents of the great clans. Only by surpassing them could he truly succeed!

"Have you all come empty-handed?"

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor spoke up suddenly, casting a casual look over them.

At these words, Gu Mofan and the others snapped to attention, immediately reaching into their personal realms to produce treasures.

"Little junior brother, this is a Life-breaking Realm Core. Unless you face a threat from the Quasi-Emperor Realm, it can preserve your life and sever any pursuit from those in the Immortal King Realm."

Gu Mofan turned his hand over, manifesting a dark, orb-like object that he sent toward Li Hao. It radiated the dense, intimidating aura of a powerful realm.

Li Hao was stunned. Was such a thing not too precious?

"This will ensure your safety until you reach the Immortal King Realm," Gu Mofan said with a smile.

"Senior brother, this is far too valuable. I have nothing of equal worth to offer you in return,"

Li Hao said, gesturing in a hesitant manner.

"Just take it. You are the youngest; it makes no sense for us to take anything from you. We can discuss repayments once you have reached the heights of your cultivation."

Gu Mofan laughed.

As Li Hao prepared to decline again, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor intervened: "Accept it. This is a token of their sincerity. If you truly wish to repay them, then cultivate with diligence. Aim to reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm as quickly as they did. That way, I will have no cause for concern."

Realizing his master’s intent, Li Hao felt a surge of gratitude. He knew the only way to show his thanks was to grow stronger at a rapid pace.

He stopped refusing and accepted the gift, gripping it firmly.

"This is an Emperor’s Might Stone from my Emperor Clan. By wearing it, you will be immune to the pressure of the Emperor Realm. As for the pressure of the Immortal King Realm, it is not even worth mentioning; no one will be able to shake your spirit."

Di Wushe also offered a treasure to Li Hao, speaking in a composed tone.

"My thanks, second senior brother!"

Li Hao took the stone.

"This is Heavenly Phoenix Blood, taken from a Heaven-defying Phoenix hunted by an Ancestor of our War Clan. It can be used to temper your Immortal Body to perfection. If you have already reached that stage, save it for when you enter the Immortal King Realm to purify your realm."

Zhan Qinghuang handed Li Hao a small, deep-red bottle. It glowed with a rich light, and the phantom of a phoenix seemed to circle the glass with a faint cry.

"Thank you, third senior sister!"

Li Hao felt a bit overwhelmed as he reached out for the bottle.

Following her, Lei Jingfeng and fifth senior brother Long Qingge presented their own gifts—a piece of Chaos Thunder Wood to aid in the comprehension of the Chaos Thunder Dao, and an Ancestor Dragon Scale capable of blocking realm-based attacks. By using only his Control Force without needing immortal power, the dragon scale could serve as a shield, making even the strikes of an Immortal King ineffective against Li Hao if used skillfully.

Li Hao voiced his gratitude as he accepted them all, thinking he might use the Chaos Thunder Wood for his carving.

The Ancestor Dragon Scale, combined with his Control Force, indeed possessed incredible potential if utilized correctly.

"I had intended to give you an Emperor’s Might Stone as well..."

Di Lingshu addressed Li Hao, "But since second senior brother has already provided one, and I arrived in a rush without much preparation, I noticed you are currently in the Immortal Monarch Realm and about to grasp the Chaos Dao. Therefore, I shall grant you the insights from my own Chaos Dao Heart Method..."
