Follow the path of Dao from infancy-Chapter 916 - 184 Half of a Daoist Scripture Suppresses All Heavens (Guaranteed Minimum)_3
Chapter 916 -184 Half of a Daoist Scripture Suppresses All Heavens (Guaranteed Minimum)_3
However, he faintly felt that when it came to that point, he might not be able to control Li Hao, so it would be better to nip the problem in the bud.
With that thought, his gaze gradually became contemplative.
“How did you comprehend such grand Dao…”
At this moment, on the stage of Dao, Emperor Tianji, resembling a withered old man, said to Li Hao in despair.
He had fallen from Saint Realm, his Saint Path destroyed, and the Dao inside him had left him; his cultivation had plummeted, and he was no longer to be considered a Saint.
Therefore, within Li Hao’s Saint Path, he saw light, he saw a path, even fostering the thought to pursue it.
This is the terror of debating the Dao; once one’s Saint Dao Origin is broken, they could potentially be enslaved by another, becoming a disciple or a follower.
“Heaven and earth are my teachers, everything has already been imparted to us, it’s just that you failed to see it.”
Li Hao said calmly.
Emperor Tianji’s eyes grew desolate, he said nothing, turned, and stepped down from the stage like a forlorn old man.
Buddha Venerate glanced at him; now that his Saint Path was broken, it was impossible for him to become a Saint again, unless he cultivated another Saint Path. The imperial path was beyond his reach now.
And to cultivate another Saint Path meant starting a new journey. On this new path, his cultivation would not be much different from others’, except maybe with slightly superior talents.
Withdrawing his gaze without looking further, Buddha Venerate then fixed his eyes on Li Hao, a hint of wariness and murderous intent flashing in his pupils.
“Are we going to take action?”
Buddha Venerate asked through a transmitted message.
Green Lamp Buddha stared intently at Li Hao for a long while before responding in a low voice: “His Saint Path just happens to counter Emperor Tianji’s; it crushed his Saint Path without contention… His Saint Path does not stand in opposition to ours, and as for the Buddha Sect, which does not contend with the world, in a Dao debate on this path, he will surely be defeated!”
Upon hearing his words, Buddha Venerate recovered his senses and nodded immediately.
He had been frightened by Li Hao a moment ago, but on further thought, it was indeed so.
After all, it had only been half a year since he became a Saint. How could his Saint Path be so immensely terrifying that merely revealing it would destroy the Saint Path of the Three Calamities Saint, not even Supreme Saints could do such a thing!
On another side, Void Ancestor of the Void Holy Land shared a look with Green Lamp Buddha. Then standing up, Green Lamp Buddha declared:
“This poor monk intends to debate the Dao with Haotian Venerate to discuss this notion of non-contention!”
Li Hao sneered; the other party was evidently unable to stay put any longer.
However, he was aware that the situation had already become somewhat risky, having stirred up the hornet’s nest, and now it was time to pull in the net.
“Just you? What about the others? They can also come onstage together. In non-contention, I am invincible!”
Li Hao declared.
Seeing Li Hao’s arrogant demeanor, Buddha Venerate sneered, thinking he wanted to deter them using the momentum of his previous victory; how laughable!
“If that’s so, we shall accommodate your wishes.”
Buddha Venerate said with a compassionate face.
It seemed as if ascending the stage was to fulfill Li Hao’s desire.
Li Hao sneered, paying no further heed to Buddha Venerate’s pretense. The defects in the world existed; the part they practiced was lacking, and it was completely understandable why it was so fragile.
Aside from Buddha Venerate, other Saints on the cushions were suddenly standing up.
“If Haotian Venerate so despises us, this senior will ascend to heaven and debate the Dao.”
“I practice the War Path, and I also wish to delve into how this non-contention achieves invincibility with Haotian Venerate!”
“As for my Spear Dao, spear being the king of all weapons, to be born a king is to follow the royal path, which in itself is non-contention. I shall also meet Haotian Venerate’s non-contention Dao!”
As certain Saints stood up, others watched attentively, recognizing these Saints as those friendly with the Buddha Sect and the Void Holy Land. They had not expected that to kill this New Saint, such considerable efforts would be made.
Feng Boping’s face changed, agitated and angry, as he took a step forward.
But Li Hao sent him a message: “Feng, no need to worry, whoever comes today must die!”
Hearing his chilling words, Feng Boping was about to speak but the words suddenly caught in his throat as he looked at Li Hao in astonishment.
Li Hao had already averted his gaze, merely watching these Saints with a cold look as they took to the stage.
Buddha Venerate and Twin Buddha Children had ascended the stage, and finally, Green Lamp Buddha and Void Ancestor took to the stage last, with indifferent expressions.
At this moment, including the Buddha Sect and the Void Holy Land, there were a total of thirteen Saints in the Dao arena!
Plus Li Hao, that made fourteen.
Such an assembly made many of the observing Saints outside gravely attentive; their eyes frequently glanced towards the few Supreme Saints, but it seemed like they had no intention to make a move.
Meanwhile, the many Semi-Saints outside the arena were struck dumb with awe. Among them, some elder Semi-Saints who had attended several Saint debates never imagined this session would be so intense.
“Non-contention…”
Outside the arena, Emperor Tianji, who had walked out, watched this scene, and beyond the sadness in his eyes, there emerged a glint of madness. He stared intensely at Li Hao, curious to see how the Dao of non-contention could triumph over the Buddha Sect and many other Saints.
It was well known that the Daos of other Saints were not suppressed by non-contention.
“Since the advent of Dao debates, this is the first time All Saints have gathered to debate against one person. This is somewhat unjust to Haotian, if Haotian’s Saint Path is destroyed, none of you should press your advantage excessively!”
At this moment, Source Ancestor spoke up as well, his tone cold and stern.
He rarely showed seriousness, and Buddha Venerate, Void Saint, and others all nodded, but inside, they heaved a sigh of relief.
According to Source Ancestor’s words, he was not going to intervene. Moreover, he seemed to imply that Li Hao’s Saint Path would be broken by them, demoting him back to the Half-Saint Realm.
They understood the implication of Source Ancestor’s statement: breaking down Haotian’s Saint Path would suffice; his life was to be spared!
As for why spare his life, All Saints had an inkling: after all, in two and a half years, it would be time for the Ancient Hall to open.
By then, they would need this monster who controlled the Sixth Extreme Realm to act as their key, to explore the path of Immortal Divine.
And by that time, if he was no longer a Saint, he would be even easier to manipulate, lacking even the capital to negotiate.
When the time comes and they have used Li Hao to his fullest, dispensing with him would become an unobstructed matter.
