Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1858 Chapter 494: Creation Carves Destiny (Part 3)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Excitement buzzed among the crowd, with whispers spreading everywhere.
The trio from the Yan Fire Clan next to Li Hao suddenly awoke, their expressions beaming with delight.
"This is the first time in my entire life that I've heard an Immortal Emperor teach the Dao."
The youth whispered to himself, his gaze sparkling brightly.
The Yan Fire Clan doesn't rank as a powerful force, lacking any Immortal Emperor among its ranks. For them, such an emperor remains a profoundly enigmatic and far-off legend.
Li Hao glanced toward Shi Miao and noticed she stayed immersed in her own world, unclear if she was deep in secluded practice or just uninterested in the Dao lecture.
Clearly, a public Dao teaching like this wouldn't include the deepest secrets; if it did, the scriptures he had traded for at premium value would look ridiculously outmatched.
Still, Li Hao planned to pay attention anyway; the full three-year session wouldn't demand too much of his schedule.
Amid the rising chatter, the Star Empress lifted her hand, silencing the entire abyss in an instant, before her crimson lips moved gently to start unveiling the Dao scriptures.
With the arcane and deep utterances of the Dao scriptures flowing out, the essence of Dao enveloped the area, making it seem as if all in the Emperor Arena witnessed the principles of the Ten Thousand Dao in the arena shifting with her words, manifesting various paths of Dao.
Li Hao pulled out the Dao scriptures he'd obtained through exchange, flipped them open to check, and realized she was sharing the third section.
Grasping this part could elevate the Ten Thousand Dao Origin to the Seventh and Eighth Layers!
The fourth section in the Dao scriptures aligns with the Ninth Realm.
The fifth section holds the Dao Clan's guarded secret.
As the Star Empress shared the Dao, Li Hao could rely on his own scriptures for guidance, aiding his grasp and insight. Yet for everyone else, deep reflection and personal understanding were essential.
"So this is what sets having a guidebook apart from going without one?"
Li Hao noticed confusion clouding many faces, but the Star Empress pressed on with her lecture undeterred, clearly viewing independent insight as a trial of one's aptitude and insight.
Time raced forward.
Three years vanished in a flash.
By matching against the Dao scriptures, Li Hao realized almost everything the Star Empress conveyed made sense to him.
His Nine Sequences Origin Realm, excluding Time Dao and Space Dao plus numerous other Dao domains, had lingered at the Fifth and Sixth Levels.
Thanks to the Star Empress's guidance now, over these brief three years, his progress proved immense, with his power experiencing a modest surge.
"Should every one of the Ten Thousand Dao achieve Ten Layers of Perfection, that signals the Quasi-Emperor Realm. Sadly, my Dao scriptures only extend to the fourth section without the concluding one."
Li Hao let out a quiet sigh, knowing the last section formed the Dao Clan's heart, the path to stepping into the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Once the Star Empress wrapped up her Dao sharing, a mighty presence abruptly erupted from the Great Emperor Dojo, heading straight for the Heaven Tower.
The figure caught many gazes, dressed in silver robes that radiated an air of elegance and distinction, clearly marking him as from the Emperor Clan.
Li Hao noticed confusion clouding many faces, but the Star Empress pressed on with her lecture undeterred, clearly viewing independent insight as a trial of one's aptitude and insight.
"That's Di Mingyuan, going for the Heaven Tower once more?"
"His previous attempt was twenty years back, climbing from floor 125 up to shattering past 129. Is he targeting 130 now?"
Shock widened countless eyes; Di Mingyuan stood as the top Immortal King in this gathering, way surpassing the runner-up who just hit level 121—spanning a full eight floors apart.
"Makes sense, hailing from the Heavenly Emperor Clan, Di Mingyuan probably leads in the sub-Quasi-Emperor Realm."
"Obviously, the folks gathered here are mostly the cream of the True Realm's Ten Thousand Races, except for those holding the frontiers."
"Di Mingyuan…" From the Dao Clan, Dao Qingyin in his shadowy Dao robe squinted, fixing his stare on the form charging to the Heaven Tower's 130th floor. Right now, the Heavenly Emperor Clan stole the show, leaving the Dao lineage appearing dim by comparison, utterly eclipsed in every matchup.
"Beyond Time Dao, Space Dao, and Golden Dao, he's mastered all Ten Thousand Daos at the Tenth Layer; just a half-step from the Quasi-Emperor Realm!"
At the Heaven Tower's summit, the Immortal Emperor's gaze shifted, a grin playing on his lips, "Earning the title of top below the Quasi-Emperor Realm is well-earned. If in the leftover centuries he pushes Time Dao or Space Dao to the Tenth Layer, that breakthrough would shine even brighter."
