Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1795 Chapter 466: Remolding (Part 2)

That earlier epiphany had granted him a clear direction in his cultivation path. Carving the Emperor Road went beyond merely claiming the Great Emperor title; it meant blazing an unmatched trail, crafting a fresh Dao. Such an achievement was nothing short of a miracle, one that set the blood racing with excitement.

Charting the course for every era and lineage!

Shi Miao gave a nod and chose not to interrupt Li Hao any longer.

Li Hao shut his eyes, stored away the two World Hearts, and then meticulously felt the changes unfolding inside him. The Heavenly Dao Power he had taken in from the Endless Heavenly Domain now pulled toward him, silently seeping into the domain.

His Divine Sense extended outward; across the two domains, it resembled primordial chaos, filled solely with laws and the natural order of heaven and earth.

"A domain, forging a personal world..."

Li Hao's gaze shimmered, and memories of the Mortal World, the Dayu Divine Dynasty, and Qingzhou City flooded back unbidden, along with that border outpost, the Heavenly Gate Pass!

Scenes and figures from his past surfaced in his thoughts, complete with joys and sorrows. His mind guided the Ten Thousand Dao Laws to part the chaos within this domain, as earth and wood laws surged forth, giving rise to mountains and rivers.

The Nine Order Laws hidden deep in the domain began to manifest, with mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars taking shape one by one, evolving into a vast and awe-inspiring world.

The wild, untamed aura slowly faded away, and at the heart of this world, a splendid Divine Dynasty took form, its vacant cities rising straight from the earth—these were the very cities where Li Hao had once fought battles, vanquishing demons and etching their images into his memory.

Now, they all materialized anew within Li Hao's domain.

As a grand city ascended, its various structures sprang up rapidly—restaurants offering tasty dishes, street vendors, the hills within the city, and the palaces and sects dotted across those hills.

Not far off, a lavish and gleaming mansion began to construct itself gradually.

At the sight of this mansion, a subtle flicker crossed Li Hao's eyes, even though he had long distanced himself from it, cut all bonds, and vowed never to return.

Still, he couldn't deny it formed a key piece of his childhood recollections in this existence, brimming with fond moments that left a lasting mark.

Every courtyard, every slab of bluestone, and every upturned tile on the roofs appeared etched straight from his recollections.

Mountain and River Courtyard, Eternal Spring Court, and Shuihua Courtyard...

Beholding these courtyards once more, Li Hao's expression remained serene; all traces of the past seemed to have faded, released into oblivion.

Beyond the courtyards stood that pavilion stocked with secret manuals and cultivation methods, though the old fisherman was absent.

The whole mansion, the entire city, hung in eerie emptiness and quiet, with only Li Hao's Divine Sense gazing down, as though he had journeyed back to those bygone days all by himself.

Qingzhou City, Heavenly Gate Pass... Divine Dynasty Imperial Palace...

Li Hao quietly surveyed this Divine Dynasty, devoid of any spark of life, yet beside it in the Desolate Domain lay a vast lake, where the Ten Thousand Dao Laws gathered, brimming with vibrant life force and chaotic energy.

The Heavenly Dao Power seeping into the domain converged silently here, pooling into the lake.

Within the lake, new life stirred gradually, as the Heavenly Dao Power wove into countless strands, weaving together with the emerging existences.

Li Hao understood that soon enough, the Divine Dynasty would teem with inhabitants.

Furthermore, thanks to the Heavenly Dao Power, the beings he fostered in his domain could pursue cultivation, and he held sway over their destinies, unlocking a wealth of cultivation arts and even fresh, undiscovered routes for his own growth. This pace of advancement outstripped the personal realizations from the Immortal Monarch Realm by leaps and bounds.

The entities forming in the lake lacked human form, but their presence strengthened steadily; Li Hao implanted a wisp of Divine Sense there to mold the species of these creatures.

With this domain achieving balance and growth, Li Hao's Divine Thought turned toward the Formless Domain.

The Formless Domain swirled in chaos too, shrouded in a dim, misty haze that seemed ready to swallow all in its path.

Li Hao shaped it much like the previous domain.

As the Nine Orders evolved, visions of the All Heavens World danced in Li Hao's mind, encompassing the Thirty-three Heavens' minor realms, like the Canglan Realm of his early days and the Sword Ancestor Holy Land...

The All Heavens World dwarfed the Dayu Divine Dynasty in scale by over a hundred times, and Li Hao poured greater care and effort into its creation, drawing deeply from his heart.

With recollections pouring in, that well-known world assembled piece by piece.

Gazing upon the soaring summits of the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, Li Hao felt a touch of bewilderment. In those times, upon first arriving in the All Heavens, he fled from the Void Saint's Avatar and climbed the ranks in the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, forging his reputation. In an instant, centuries had slipped by.

Li Hao hadn't ventured through every corner of the All Heavens worlds, so he shaped only from what he remembered. Unvisited areas remained cloaked in gray, phantom fog.

Close to the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, a Life Lake formed, where Li Hao set up the Life Sea to breed life.

"Immortal King... means more than just personal power; it involves bearing the weight of an entire domain's existence as well."

Li Hao's gaze wavered, struck by this profound burden—should he fall, the domain's inhabitants would vanish too. And these beings... though born of his creation, they possessed their own consciousness!

Like offspring he had brought into being.

"A sovereign's territory stands untouchable."

Li Hao whispered softly to himself.

After both domains settled into stability, Li Hao's Divine Thought pulled back, and spotting Shi Miao nearby before the zither platform, his look softened as he asked, "How long was I in seclusion for the breakthrough?"

"Half a month."

Noticing Li Hao rouse, Shi Miao realized he had finished building the domains and smiled, "With your breakthrough complete, where are you headed next?"

Li Hao shook his head, his mind drifting to the Southern Domain, but given his present power, facing that Supreme Being would spell certain doom, the difference far too immense.

He couldn't head to the Southern Domain; as for the Northern Domain... Li Hao recalled the Su Family, since Ancestor Su Jiuzhe had treated him with great favor, and his old rift with Su Muqing had dissolved long ago with Shi Miao's revival; should the Su Family require aid, he could lend a hand in the Northern Domain to quell the demons.

These ideas in his head, Li Hao stood up and declared, "I'll seek out my master first."

"Yes, I'll come along."

Shi Miao trailed after him, ever by his side.

Li Hao nodded, took her hand, and they made their way to the grand hall together.

Inside the palace hall, Dao Origin Immortal Emperor lingered by the chessboard, and when Li Hao arrived, his face betrayed no shock, for he had sensed it the moment Li Hao left the small courtyard.

"This breakthrough elevates you to a ruler of your own domain. The Primordial True Realm provides scant further growth for you; the Immortal King Realm disciples staying here do so because they haven't fully merged the Chaos Dao. Though they've reached Immortal King Realm, pushing onward yields little, but they can still grasp insights and reincarnate to start anew."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor spoke measuredly, "For you, reaching the pinnacle of Immortal King Realm isn't the aim; pursuing the Emperor Road defines your cultivation, yet that road evades simple toil. By tradition, upon breakthrough and coronation as king, one must venture to the True Realm for trials."

Li Hao nodded; as an Immortal King Realm cultivator now, he could truly stand on his own.

"The Immortal King Realm marks the peak fighting force among the True Realm's Ten Thousand Clans. Since you've freshly advanced, I intend to send you to your fifth senior brother at the Eastern Domain's Ancestor Dragon Court!"

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor announced.

"Eastern Domain, Ancestor Dragon Court?"

Li Hao's eyes shifted faintly.

"Indeed, the True Realm's Four Domains include the Southern Domain's Heavenly Palace, the Northern Domain's Emperor Star, and the Eastern Domain's Ancestor Dragon Court, governed by the Ancestor Dragon Clan. Your fifth senior brother is a prodigy of that clan! After training under me here, he went back to the Eastern Domain, adhering to the Ancestor Dragon Court's customs by defending a region—you can join him there."

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor clarified.

Li Hao grasped that his master meant for the fifth senior brother to guide him, as even fresh from breakthrough and coronation in the Immortal King Realm, the tenth layer's vast divides persisted.

"Understood."

Li Hao agreed with a nod, offering no objection, since he too wished to test his Immortal King Realm prowess and seize honing chances in the Eastern Domain.

"Beyond you, since the return from the Endless Heavenly Domain, a number of Chaos Sect disciples have broken through and claimed kingships, among them two young women who roused Emperor Vein True Blood, claiming Ancestor Emperor Power through their lineage, and burst onto the scene spectacularly, outshining fellow newly crowned prodigies—despite just entering Immortal King Realm, they already conquer the ninth level of the Original Demon Cave!"

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor elaborated steadily, "As per the rules, an Immortal King's venture down the mountain demands clearing the seventh level of the Original Demon Cave to earn the right."
