Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1733 Chapter 440: Heart Aligned with the Heavens

"That is correct."

Shi Miao nodded in agreement before continuing, "Regardless of whether one is in the Immortal Monarch Realm or the True Immortal Realm, even with the superior environment and talent found within the Holy Land, the speed of Cultivation cannot rival that of the Immortal King Realm. Within that realm, the rate at which all beings deduce Tao Laws is on a completely different level."

"However, even with such speed—if we imagine an Immortal Monarch progressing ten miles daily while an Immortal King advances a thousand—the time required for an Immortal King to break through a single level is ten times longer than that of an Immortal Monarch!"

"To have any hope of reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm, one must perpetually refine and construct their realm. Every bit of accumulation and settling within the Immortal King Realm is a preparation for the final sprint toward that supreme Final Realm!"

Li Hao felt a sense of enlightenment as he listened to Shi Miao’s explanation, yet he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was beginning to realize that the depths of the Immortal King Realm were as terrifying and profound as the Abyss Sea.

"It is no wonder they feel the need to travel to the Endless Heavenly Domain," Li Hao remarked.

At this point, he fully grasped how significantly the Power of the Heavenly Dao influenced those in the Immortal King Realm.

Shi Miao added, "Venturing to the Endless Heavenly Domain isn't just about plundering Heavenly Dao Power; the primary goal is to gather enough of it to eventually prove the Heavenly Heart and earn its recognition in the future."

Li Hao nodded. The Endless Heavenly Domain was clearly a hundred times more vital than the Chaotic Star; it was a true turning point on the path of Dao.

"With your Shore Realm, can you truly withstand all laws? Can those in the Immortal Monarch Realm really not harm you at all?" Li Hao directed his question toward Bitter Bridge.

A flicker of a strange expression crossed Bitter Bridge’s face, though his response remained polite: "That is indeed the case."

It was difficult for those in the Immortal Monarch Realm to even breach the defenses of the Immortal King Realm, let alone injure him. An ordinary Immortal King was already vastly superior to an Immortal Monarch, and he was certainly not among the weak within the Immortal King Realm!

"If we speak only of the realm itself, an Immortal Monarch cannot affect it. Even someone who has refined 23 Chaos Laws can only hope to destroy common realms; they simply cannot compare when facing the stronger ones," Bitter Bridge explained to Li Hao.

In his eyes, Li Hao was destined to refine 23 Chaos Laws and join the ranks of the elite, but he warned him never to underestimate the Immortal King Realm. After all, anyone capable of reaching such a height was never a mediocre talent during their time as an Immortal Monarch.

Li Hao nodded. There was indeed a massive chasm between the Immortal Monarch Realm and the Immortal King Realm.

While refining 23 Chaos Laws would allow an Immortal Monarch to trample almost any opponent—a total sweep, essentially—slaying an Immortal King while remaining in that lower realm was still a monumental task.

After observing Bitter Bridge’s realm with care, Li Hao moved on to study the realms of other Immortal King disciples.

"My domain is the Unbreakable Domain. It contains the laws of all things and stands as firm as a king. Although it lacks offensive power, no one of the same rank can interfere with my domain!" another Immortal King disciple boasted to Li Hao, his expression radiating confidence.

To showcase his abilities before Li Hao and earn the favor of a Direct Disciple was a massive opportunity. If Li Hao mentioned him to the Master, the Immortal Emperor might focus resources on his growth; even if he wasn't taken as a Direct Disciple, his status would surely rise.

Hearing this, Bitter Bridge nodded. "Han Ku’s Unbreakable Domain is truly powerful. We have sparred before, and none could breach it. Even those using Space Power as their primary force in destruction-focused domains could only manage a stalemate."

Intrigued, Li Hao entered Han Ku’s realm to investigate.

A Life Sea existed within this realm as well, filled with a vigorous energy that matched Bitter Bridge’s. Various life forms were taking shape here; some emerged from the Life Sea to inhabit the forests and form tribes, while others roamed the wilderness as beasts or birds.

Some chose to remain submerged in the Life Sea to grow stronger, their size already dwarfing the mature creatures on land even before they emerged.

Li Hao watched the intertwining laws, noting how they formed a profound and mysterious array pattern. It functioned like a massive shield, blanketing the entire sky of the realm.

Though he stared intently, Li Hao found the complexity hard to grasp. He could only sense that the laws were stretching, as if to distribute any incoming pressure evenly across the entire realm.

Shattering such a realm would require a truly staggering amount of force. It was no surprise it was called unbreakable.

"What are your thoughts?" Han Ku asked Li Hao, his eyes shining with pride.

Li Hao nodded repeatedly. "Impressive, truly impressive."

Shi Miao, however, remained unimpressed, her gaze calm. "That is merely a lower-grade path."

"A lower-grade path?"

Han Ku’s smile vanished at Shi Miao's remark. A flash of resentment appeared on his face as he looked at the young lady who was now belittling the technique he had worked so hard to perfect.

"Then I must ask, what would you consider a higher-grade path?" Han Ku inquired, struggling to keep his temper in check.

Shi Miao didn't look at him directly, instead casting an indifferent glance at their surroundings. "While it may seem as sturdy as a fortress and as immovable as a mountain, there are numerous ways to tear it down."

Han Ku’s face darkened as he balled his hands into fists. "Numerous? Please, name just one. I only need to hear one."

Shi Miao said nothing but signaled for Li Hao to pay attention. She lifted her slender, pale wrist and pointed toward the sky of the realm. Suddenly, the eroding power of time manifested, slicing through the laws of the realm's sky with incredible speed. In an instant, the woven Secret Array began to fluctuate and break, until a gaping hole collapsed into existence!

With just a flick of her finger, Shi Miao had shattered the Unbreakable Domain!

Stunned by the sight, the previously angry Han Ku stood frozen. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, staring at Shi Miao in absolute shock.

"Do not bother learning this," Shi Miao told Li Hao.
