Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1850 Chapter 491: Absorption and Challenge

"Even those with average aptitude can readily grasp the Time Dao Origin by ingesting Time Tree Juice!"

Shi Miao lifted her hand and plucked two bunches of Time Tree Juice, passing one to Li Hao as she explained, "You've pushed your Time Dao Origin Realm to the Seventh Level. Taking this will let you effortlessly attain the Eighth Layer, and it'll aid in grasping other Realm Hearts and Tao Realms too."

Li Hao felt a bit taken aback, hardly anticipating treasures of this caliber, and he promptly took hold of them.

"The Tribulation Light Shield stands as a supreme Domain Artifact as well. It absorbs every kind of assault and transforms them into Tribulation Power to strike back. This Tribulation Power pierces through Divine Souls, Immortal Techniques, and all else, embodying the purest form of devastation!"

Shi Miao continued, "Even experts at Immortal King Realm Perfection find this invaluable. Nothing short of Quasi-Emperor Realm's Emperor Power can shatter it; with it equipped, you'd be unbeatable within the Immortal King Realm!"

With a wave of her hand, she called forth a shield that gleamed with chaotic tribulation light, then offered it to Li Hao: "Armed with this defense, alongside the items from your master, the Immortal King Realm won't endanger you at all."

"What of yourself?"

Li Hao inquired.

"I only require advancing three more layers in cultivation to rival Immortal King Realm Perfection. Upon hitting that peak, I'll reclaim ninety percent of my former life's strength, rendering me invincible in the Immortal King Realm."

Shi Miao answered.

Hearing her words, Li Hao wasted no time and took the item.

"Oh? A book appears here too."

Li Hao's eyes scanned the area, spotting amid the many glowing treasure clusters something that looked like a book.

Shi Miao fixed her gaze on it closely, and shortly, details about it surfaced in her mind.

"The Dao Repository—it's the Dao Clan's Secret Hall, supposedly crafted from ancient Dao writings etched on a stone tablet that a Dao Clan Emperor unearthed from chaos's depths, forming a sacred Daoist Scripture called the Dao Repository!"

Shi Miao's face grew serious as she stated, "Legend holds that mastering the Dao Repository lets one fully cultivate the Nine Order Dao all the way to its Ten Layers of Perfection!"

"Put simply, the Dao Repository covers every facet of existence. Total mastery propels one to the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"

Quasi-Emperor… prior to forging a personal Emperor Road, one refines all worldly elements to their absolute pinnacle!

"The Dao Clan must have sacrificed much to provide this. Still, it's unclear if it's the full edition."

Shi Miao's divine sense brushed the treasure's light cluster, and moments later, a trace of regret showed in her eyes as she let out a sigh, "As expected, the Dao Clan withholds a bit. Were it the complete one, it'd surpass top-tier treasure rankings—it's a foundational treasure of the Dao Clan. Just these three chapters can propel cultivation to Immortal King Realm Perfection, placing it at the pinnacle of top-tier items."

"If that's the case, selecting this makes perfect sense."

Li Hao extended his hand to claim the Dao Repository.

Shi Miao gave a nod, watching the Dao Repository drift into Li Hao's grasp, while another duplicate emerged in the light cluster.

Unlike the unique Tribulation Light Shield from before.

In her past life, she had studied the Dao Repository, though not entirely, and with her talents, she had mastered all principles to their limits, surpassing the Tenth Layer of Time Dao, enduring the catastrophe that felled even Emperors, journeying to time's distant edge, and thus safeguarding her existence.

"Heavenly Dao Blood! Such a rarity exists here."

Shi Miao's eyes roamed once more, sharpening with focus.

The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor had bestowed upon Li Hao a share of Heavenly Dao Blood, enabling direct ascension to the Three Immortal End Realm, granting everlasting immortality and vastly improving his chances of survival.

Now, another portion lay available.

This implied that those granted special cultivation spots could claim a share, evolving into the End Realm and sharply increasing their endurance.

She herself had already absorbed it, as had Li Hao, leaving no need for more.

Yet beyond forging eternal immortality, it held another purpose.

"Without better options, the Heavenly Dao Blood works for exchange."

Shi Miao noted: "It strengthens the Heavenly Dao Infant."

At the Saint Extreme Realm, one overcomes the Three Calamities' trials, sanctifying the body and forming the Heavenly Dao Infant.

The Heavenly Dao Infant boosts insight into Immortal Tao; its greater potency deepens comprehension of Immortal Tao and even the cosmos, potentially unveiling profound Heavenly Dao and core Tao origins."

"Then, we can hold off on the Tribulation Light Shield for the moment."

Li Hao's gaze passed over it, his current focus on items that would bolster his own strength and hasten his battle prowess.

The Tribulation Light Shield guaranteed dominance in the Immortal King Realm, yet within this Abyssal Cultivation, elevating his realm would similarly ensure invincibility without depending on it.

Shi Miao considered briefly, then agreed; during this Abyssal Cultivation, provided Li Hao sped up his progress to reach the Seven or Eighth Layer of Immortal King Realm by the close, he'd gain strong self-defense capabilities.

After all, within this cultivation domain, no one could endanger them, and the two Immortal Emperors would prevent any internal clan strife.

With myriad Immortal Kings from Ten Thousand Clans assembled, including hostile groups with millennia-old grudges, the Immortal Emperors' decision to convene them ensured full control.

"True, the Tribulation Light Shield can't be used inside the Heaven Tower anyway."

Within the Heaven Tower, only personal cultivation matters, barring external aids. Otherwise, certain Immortal King Realm cultivators could employ top-tier Domain Artifacts to fight beyond one or two realms."

Even so, such elite Domain Artifacts were rare even among great clans.

"One serving of Time Tree Juice, one Dao Repository..."

Li Hao's eyes moved across the selections, three chances left.

Their Divine Senses covered the various treasure light clusters for a swift review. Before long, Li Hao chose the final three:

Among them was the Five Path Divine Tree, born from the convergence of Five Paths power, currently in full maturity, laden with two Five Elements Dao Fruits. Devouring them grants instant mastery of the Five Paths Origin Realm. Furthering the Dao Fruits' development demands vast infusions of immortal power, permitting gradual ripening.
