Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1681 Chapter 424: The Name of Haotian, Enlightened in a Day!

Li Hao was momentarily stunned as the prompt flickered into view.

The sensation was all too familiar. This notification appeared whenever he gained insight into a new movement technique, fist skill, or style of swordsmanship. Since he had already mastered the Tao Realm, stepping onto the path through Tao had become significantly easier.

"Record."

Li Hao made the choice instinctively within his mind without a second thought.

In an instant, his status panel manifested before him. It was now a hundred times more intricate than its original form, cataloging a vast array of cultivation techniques, skills, and various immortal techniques. During his time on the Heavenly Bridge, he had archived numerous top-secret methods from various Immortal Dynasties simply by interacting with their resident geniuses.

Now, amidst the dense list of techniques on the complex panel, a striking new entry emerged.

[Chaos Dao: Not Initiated (Can Add Points)]

This Chaos Dao was categorized under combat! Currently, the combat disciplines Li Hao had mastered included the Physical Body Dao, Control Dao, Sword Dao, Body Path, and Fist Skill. This marked the arrival of his sixth discipline: the Chaos Dao.

Li Hao felt a surge of astonishment. Was the Chaos Dao truly a distinct and separate path? He quickly recalled his master’s teachings and felt a sense of clarity. The Chaos Dao was an independent power, much like the Control Dao, and was naturally classified as a battle skill.

By focusing his intent and utilizing the insights of the Nine Sequences Original Dao Realm, he had barely managed to grasp the faint threshold of this path—a level of comprehension usually reserved for those in the Immortal Monarch realm. Consumed by curiosity, Li Hao chose not to remain at the front with Sword Heart and Ming Yue. Instead, he moved to the side and found a quiet spot to sit down.

Observing that Li Hao had no desire to argue and understanding his personality, Shi Miao followed him in silence. As he settled into a seated position, she spoke softly:

"Focus on your comprehension; I will ensure no one disturbs you."

As she made her promise, she unleashed her Realm Power to shield him, neutralizing the chaotic domain erosion that seeped from the surrounding void.

"Understood, thank you."

Li Hao nodded, offering her a faint smile.

Shi Miao returned the smile, her expression softening. The tension from their previous disagreement vanished, replaced by a quiet contentment in each other's presence. Li Hao then shut his eyes, summoned his panel, and directed his points toward the Chaos Dao.

His skill points plummeted instantly, with three points being deducted in a flash.

Immediately, a notification appeared before his vision:

Chaos Dao improved, level increased by one.

A massive, overwhelming wave of conceptual understanding suddenly flooded his consciousness. However, Li Hao was no longer the fragile infant who suffered agonizing headaches during such revelations; he allowed his mind to be fully consumed by this infinite wisdom.

It felt as though a primordial explosion occurred within his mind, revealing countless rays of light and fragments of mottled Great Ways shattering outward from the chaos. These luminous streams held the fundamental laws of heaven and earth: metal, wood, water, fire, time-space, light and dark, wind and thunder, and more.

Beyond these laws, an ancient and vast aura permeated the space—the power of chaos itself. It allowed for the effortless mastery of multiple Great Ways, enabling them to be gathered, reshaped, and woven together into even more profound and mystical forces.

"Chaos..."

Li Hao whispered internally. He began to grasp that chaos was the original order of the universe, a force capable of fusing the Ten Thousand Dao Laws—or perhaps, it was the very power birthed from their unification. To master chaos was to master the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Dao Laws, elevating his control over the Nine Sequences to an unprecedented level.

Previously, even if he mastered numerous Great Ways and the Nine Sequences, they were merely layered upon one another rather than being perfectly integrated. True integration would lead to a total qualitative transformation.

"Chaos Law..."

Li Hao’s heart grew heavy as he realized that his previous advantages might seem insignificant when faced with the Chaos Law. If he only relied on his prior strengths, such as the Tao Origin Immortal Seal, fighting a genius who had mastered the Chaos Law—even one with only a Nine Flower Immortal Seal—would be an uphill battle.

Fortunately, he had now achieved comprehension!

After a long silence, Li Hao opened his eyes. His pupils seemed to pull back like a vortex, reflecting the depth of many Great Way intentions. His entire presence had shifted; he now radiated a serene, eternal, and majestic aura that felt at one with heaven and earth. Though he sat still, he seemed as elusive as a small boat drifting upon the river of time.

"Hmm?"

Shi Miao, who had been standing guard, was the first to notice the transformation. Her expression shifted to one of shock as she sensed his aura. Despite being a peerless genius who had crossed the True Realm and seen much of the world, she was stunned by what Li Hao was exhibiting.

Was that... the scent of Chaos Aura? But Li Hao had only just arrived!

Though she had witnessed the distant future through the river of time, the fading of Destiny Power had obscured many details from her sight. Shi Miao quickly pushed these thoughts aside, focusing instead on expanding her Realm Power to further protect him. Regardless of his power or his feats, her devotion remained unchanged; her heart belonged only to him.

Li Hao looked upward, observing the 138 original Great Ways etched onto the law-cracked stone wall. Where there was once confusion, he now saw distinct patterns within the chaotic tangles of laws. They were now clearly visible to him.

"The laws are intertwined, but the arrangement seems imperfect..."

Li Hao’s eyes shimmered as he studied the stone wall. He could sense that while the 138 Great Ways were interconnected, they were not aligned in their most perfect state. While he couldn't yet describe what that perfect form should be, there was no doubt—he could finally read and comprehend the law-cracked stone wall before him.
