Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1759: Chapter 450: Elder of Chaos (Part 3)

The place even the Immortal Emperor cannot tread, yet they are safe and sound here.

If the Immortal Emperor could be like them, then nurturing his own direct disciple would be a piece of cake, wouldn’t it?

Wouldn’t the great opportunities in the Endless Heavenly Domain be managed and distributed by the Immortal Emperor alone?!

"Beyond the Immortal Emperor?"

Elder Qi heard Li Hao’s words and couldn’t help but chuckle, shaking his head afterward, "The Immortal Emperor is the invincible Final Realm, how can one surpass it? Compared to that, we are not as good as the Immortal Emperor."

"Not as good as the Immortal Emperor?"

Li Hao was taken aback by the words, surprised that the elder in front of him wasn’t as good as the Immortal Emperor?

Seeing Li Hao’s bewilderment, Elder Qi laughed and said, "That’s right, if we were to compete outside, those children would win over us. They have already opened up a glorious Tao, united the Ten Thousand Dao Laws within themselves, paved the Emperor Road through Heavenly Dao. We cannot compare to them."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao, shocked, felt a bit puzzled and asked, "But the Immortal Emperor cannot tread here; anyone beyond the Immortal King Realm cannot enter, you two seniors..."

He wanted to say, surely you two are not just in the Immortal Monarch Realm?

Elder Qi smiled faintly and said, "We are merely remnants forgotten and eliminated by time. Our cultivation path is different from yours, so this Heavenly Domain does not restrict us. After all, this is our home."

"Home?"

Li Hao was bewildered.

He recalled his master’s words, saying the Endless Heavenly Domain was the place of Heavenly Dao’s birth.

Could it be that these two elders are Heavenly Dao?

But one path to becoming an Immortal Emperor is to prove the Heavenly Heart, which means gaining Heavenly Dao’s approval.

This naturally explains that Heavenly Dao is supreme, above the Immortal Emperor, yet the elder said he is not as good as the Immortal Emperor, so he’s surely not Heavenly Dao unless he’s lying.

But the elder before him seems to have no need to deceive him; he could simply choose not to say anything.

"In the Ancient Era, before the Ten Thousand Dao Laws divided, Chaos was one, how did the living beings of heaven and earth cultivate then?"

Elder Qi noticed the confusion in the youth’s heart and gently asked.

This question struck Li Hao like thunder, shattering his doubts, his pupils slightly widening as he looked at the elder before him:

"You, you mean to say you were born in Chaos, as primordial life?"

Elder Qi smiled without a word, seemingly affirming Li Hao’s answer.

Li Hao’s heart trembled, while many thoughts flickered in his mind. Now they are refining Chaos Laws, the Tao unifies, including cultivation realms, which were opened by many Immortal Emperors over the ages, by each Great Emperor, including his master, who opened the Dao Origin Ultimate Realm... and the paths they walk, frankly speaking, are the roads paved by other Great Emperors.

But what about before these Great Emperors?

Li Hao suddenly realized, the elder before him is existence born before any cultivation system was developed.

At that time, there were no Great Emperors!

No one was called a King!

And that era, undoubtedly, was unimaginably distant, at the dawn of Chaos.

The elder before him might have lived through countless ages.

"Brother Qi, it’s your turn."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the dialogue between Li Hao and Elder Qi.

The elder turned to Elder Qi and said, with an equally old voice yet urging, as if somewhat impatient.

Elder Qi looked down, eyes revealing surprise, then nodded and smiled, "You really set a tough problem for me."

Upon hearing this, Li Hao also glanced at their chessboard, but at that glance, he instantly felt his world spin, as if falling into an endless starry sky, arriving at a vast and boundless cosmos.

This starry sky seemed to have vast grid lines, countless stars rising and falling, floating along strange trajectories.

Li Hao’s pupils slightly contracted. His Chess Tao had already reached the pinnacle of 12 segments, and his experience value long accumulated to the full, yet at this moment, looking at this chessboard, there was an inexplicable feeling of a deep river of stars.
