Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1800 Chapter 469: Guarding Gragon Gate

"Master, do you know where that person went to train?"

Su Wanyi's eyes gleamed brightly as she inquired in a gentle tone.

At those words, the rest lifted their gazes toward their master with keen interest, particularly Su Wanqing and Su Muqing, whose looks revealed deep worry. Venturing out for training formed an essential journey, yet it brimmed with perils.

"This concerns Extreme Dao Mountain affairs, so divining it isn't suitable for me. Avoid centering all your attention on that youth. Forge your individual paths, and upon attaining the heights, you'll inevitably converge at the top!"

The Chaos Immortal Emperor counseled his followers.

His statement left the group unable to conceal their letdown, though they swiftly rallied their resolve and vigor. The master spoke wisely; by pursuing their routes completely, they would surely rendezvous with him in time.

"By the way, that youth grasped the Destiny Law, forging 24 in total. The enigmatic presence on the Chaos Heavenly Dao List must be him, right?"

Luo Ningshuang abruptly recalled a detail and burst out.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor had founded the Chaos Heavenly Dao List. What others viewed as a concealed persona appeared clear to the Chaos Immortal Emperor's sight.

"Chaos Infinite, who pushed the Immortal Lord realm to its limits, truly stands as the fiercest prodigy across the past hundred millennia."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor murmured with a hint of sorrow. A prodigy like that had been claimed by the Dao Origin fellow, which explained why the Southern Domain Venerable strove so hard to snuff out this budding flame.

His remarks prompted diverse reactions among the listeners, though the majority brimmed with joy and reverence.

"Indeed, utterly fearsome."

Luo Ningshuang reflected on the youth's many exploits. Within a mere three centuries of entering the Primordial True Realm, his fame had spread far and wide, prompting even the haughty Chaos Ancient Clans to probe into his background.

"Get ready yourselves, and pick a suitable moment to leave the mountain."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor instructed.

"Yes."

Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi acknowledged with nods.

...

Down at the base of Extreme Dao Mountain, before the entrance gate, a throng of disciples assembled. Certain Outer Sect members at the True Immortal Realm, possessing lesser power, could only observe from a distance.

"Fellow brothers, I'll halt here."

Li Hao regarded Lei Jingfeng, Di Wushè, and the rest. Upon hearing of his departure from the mountain, they had all arrived to bid him farewell, signaling a brief parting.

"Old Wu, protect the junior brother well, ensure he stays safe."

Di Wushè warned Long Qingge standing next to Li Hao with grave seriousness.

Long Qingge felt a bit daunted by this second senior brother and replied timidly, "Rest assured, even if I face mishap, I'll keep junior brother unharmed."

"After completing my training, I'll head to the Eastern Domain to seek you out, wait up for me."

Di Lingshu told Li Hao.

Li Hao gave a nod.

Nearby, Shi Miao cast a subtle glance at Di Lingshu, who caught sight of Shi Miao's look and abruptly sensed an odd unease.

"Young friend, journey safely."

Yuanming Ancestor uttered in a low, rumbling tone.

Li Hao eyed the Quasi-Emperor Realm ancient turtle that bore Extreme Dao Mountain and grinned, responding, "Senior, may I witness your ascension to Emperor upon our next encounter."

"In that case, you should delay your return."

Yuanming Ancestor replied.

Those straightforward words drew laughter from Li Hao, while the others smiled too.

"Fellow junior brothers, no need to escort me further, see you soon!"

Li Hao peered beyond senior brother Di Wushè and the group toward the packed multitude in the back, their gazes brimming with intrigue and warm anticipation, and he gave a wave.

As Li Hao bid them adieu, excitement surged through many, eliciting a chorus of well-wishes.

"Let's depart."

Long Qingge urged Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

With a sweep of his hand, Long Qingge summoned a tear in space right outside the gate, opening a path to realms beyond the True Realm.

He had previously set the destination: the Eastern Domain, Ancestor Dragon Court!

One of the True Realm's Four Domains, the Eastern Domain stood distinct.

Unlike the Southern Domain teeming with the Human Race's Ancient Immortal Dynasties, the Eastern Domain hosted a harmony of clans. No Immortal Dynasty dominated; instead, territories belonged to diverse races. Humans occupied just a tiny fraction, while ancient beast kinds prevailed, including the Ghost Tribe, Spirit Clan, Hill Clan, and more, with the Ancestor Dragon bloodline reigning supreme through the Ancestor Dragon Court that governed the whole Eastern Domain.

"Master warned that the Southern Domain Venerable holds murderous intent for you. Though our Eastern Domain touches the Southern and Northern Domains, we're veering northward now!"

Long Qingge explained to Li Hao.

In addition to the pair, Shi Miao joined them. The trio traversed the void and emerged hovering over a vast, imposing metropolis.

Describing it as an enormous city proved no overstatement; its walls alone extended across millions of miles, towering as grandly and sheer as the Great Wall.

"This marks Northern Flame Pass, with the northern frontier lying just past it."

Long Qingge announced.

Just as his voice faded, a piercing phoenix call rang out, followed by a streak of scarlet fire hurtling like a shooting star.

Instantly, the scarlet blaze scattered, unveiling a Fire Phoenix whose sacred plumage glowed with radiant splendor.

The Fire Phoenix appeared to bat its lash-resembling fringes, her gaze sparkling with liveliness, and she chirped clearly, "Husband, are these your sect companions?"

Li Hao froze in surprise and instinctively turned to Long Qingge.

Long Qingge's face tinted with red as he informed Li Hao, "Little junior brother, meet my spouse, Feng Qiqi, of the Vermilion Bird Clan—one of the Eastern Domain's venerable Ten Clans."

Li Hao hadn't anticipated his senior brother, appearing no older than fifteen or sixteen, to already have a wife, but considering further, the man surely spanned thousands of years.

"Greetings, sister-in-law."

Li Hao hastily offered his respects.

Shi Miao gave a faint nod in her direction, though her eyes flicked toward Li Hao at her side. Husband... quite an appealing term—when might she claim it herself?

A soft blush colored her face.

"Skip the sister-in-law label; it feels so outdated. If it suits you, simply address me as Qiqi sister."

The Vermilion Phoenix replied in a bright, delicate tone, her voice retaining a youthful purity.
