"Two World Hearts?"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor stared fixedly, his gaze appearing to cut across the emptiness, delving into the core of Li Hao's immortal physique and spotting those pair of still world hearts.
Back when Li Hao had broken through earlier, he'd observed from a distance inside the hall, sensing only relief. Sure, he'd been startled by Li Hao forming a second world heart, but against the backdrop of Li Hao grasping 69 stars in just one day, it didn't strike as all that remarkable.
Yet at this moment, with these two world hearts achieving some equilibrium inside Li Hao's frame, refusing to merge, it drew his deeper focus.
With the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's arrival, projections of Di Wushè, Gu Mofan, and the rest materialized in sequence, assembling beyond the modest courtyard.
At this point, Li Hao had freshly ascended to Immortal King status, so as his elder siblings, they obviously showed up to offer their felicitations.
"Greetings, Master."
They chorused together.
"Haotian, reveal your world hearts to me,"
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor instructed Li Hao.
Li Hao quickly realized his master had already spotted the issue with his world hearts. Without any concealment, he promptly called forth the two world hearts, along with the accompanying dual realms that surfaced beside them, wrapping around Li Hao entirely.
Witnessing this sight, Gu Mofan, Di Wushè, and the others—who had only just paid their respects to the master—froze in place. Their eyes widened sharply as they gazed at Li Hao with astonishment.
Even Shi Miao couldn't mask his disbelief; not only had Li Hao formed two world hearts simultaneously, but they stayed separate without merging, existing side by side!
"How is this possible?!"
"Two world hearts existing together, and no trace of them consuming each other?!"
Zhan Qinghuang burst out in alarm, her usual poise as a Quasi-Emperor Realm expert and a battle-hardened genius from the War Clan crumbling amid the shock.
Di Wushè and Gu Mofan stood there slack-jawed, a bit lost and foggy-headed, while a storm of ideas raced through their thoughts, ultimately settling on two key terms: Emperor Road!
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor scrutinized closely, meticulously inspecting Li Hao's dual world hearts. Before long, the creases in his forehead eased away, and a grin spread across his features as he addressed Li Hao:
"Not bad, very good. Though there are a few imperfections still, if you manage to refine them... this could become your Emperor Road!"
Hearing their master's declaration, the group snapped out of their initial daze, recovering from the surprise only to dive into an even fiercer wave of it.
This newest junior brother, who had only just reached King level, had somehow already brushed against the edges of the Emperor Road?!
Di Lingshu's lips parted slightly, words failing her, as she abruptly comprehended the boldness behind Li Hao's refusal to affirm the Heavenly Heart. This must be the assurance of an unmatched genius!
She'd been hailed as a supreme talent since childhood, showered with endless acclaim, but right now, she sensed her own light fading amid the others.
Next to this little junior brother, nobody else deserved the label of genius.
"Emperor Road..."
Gu Mofan and Di Wushè shared a look, catching the mix of awe and ruefulness in each other's stares. They'd devoted tens of thousands of years to tracing the Emperor Road's contours without success in forging ahead, but here was their little junior, barely entering the Immortal King Realm, already charting his unique path.
Two world hearts side by side—indeed, such a clear-cut Emperor Road!
Defying the odds and achieving the unthinkable, shattering limits, and blazing fresh trails—this defined an Emperor!
"Others have pondered this Emperor Road before, but not one has even grazed its edges, let alone begun the journey. Yet our little junior maintains the harmony of two world hearts right now. Should he refine it further, allowing even more to coexist, it would bring immense advantages to every Immortal King across the True Realm, boosting their battle strength twofold!"
Gu Mofan regained his composure and couldn't hold back his outburst.
He recognized that if this Emperor Road took shape, its effects on the Immortal King stage would be profound, especially since these Immortal Kings formed the backbone of major factions and even the forebears of mighty lineages. They'd owe Li Hao an eternal debt of gratitude, making his influence on the True Realm's myriad races truly profound!
The rest also grasped the terrifying promise in Li Hao's Emperor Road, falling into awed quiet.
As the master's personal disciples before, they'd always sensed their dominance over peers in the same realm, but Li Hao's emergence revealed what real brilliance looked like, casting them all as ordinary by comparison.
Everyone offered Li Hao their congratulations, lavish with compliments. Li Hao found himself overwhelmed by the attention, feeling a touch embarrassed—it was merely a bit of fortune on his part.
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's eyes held warmth, though his tone remained steady, "Countless ancients have mulled over this path. Forging multiple world hearts paves the Emperor Road, yet nobody has ever made that initial stride. And even those who tried the first step discovered it led to dead ends, forcing them to abandon it in defeat."
"Your current framework carries some weaknesses; refining those might upend all prior approaches entirely, so proceed with care."
Li Hao saw that his master feared he'd grow overconfident, so he bowed his head, "I'll give it everything, Master."
He realized too that forming a third or fourth world heart could render his present technique obsolete. Carving this Emperor Road proved no small feat, or it wouldn't have baffled so many geniuses.
The group picked up on the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's caution to Li Hao, ceasing their accolades at once and instead sending him supportive looks.
"You've only just ascended; after settling in, seek me out in the main hall."
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor stated, before his form vanished in an instant.
Seeing this, the others took their leave from Li Hao in turn.
"The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor speaks wisely, but I trust you'll press on and forge this Emperor Road!"
Shi Miao urged Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded, "I will."
