Follow the path of Dao from infancy-Chapter 956 - 197: Remains of the Immortal Divine

Chapter 956 -197: Remains of the Immortal Divine

The Source Ancestor and many Saints arrived here, their expressions calm and without much surprise. When the Ancient Hall first revealed itself to the world, fierce battles and competitions had already erupted.

The remnants of cracks at the end of the passage are mostly traces left from their earlier struggles.

The Divine King gazed at the empty space above the steps, where there should have been a bronze divine throne. In those days, he had ceded it to the Source Ancestor during the scramble.

Yet even now, the latter still hadn’t become one with the Immortal Divine.

“Hmph.”

The Divine King snorted coldly, glanced at the Source Ancestor, and strode forward.

Outside the Ancient Hall, the area that Saints could explore had nearly all been investigated; scavenged thoroughly, no treasures remained.

Li Hao followed them, traversing the passage, delving deep into the Ancient Hall.

Within this Ancient Hall was a Secret Realm, self-contained and vastly expansive, like the Imperial Palace of a Divine Dynasty.

The wide General Inspection Platform was flanked by multiple ancient sculptures, depicting a towering, ethereal youth of unmatched grace.

His gaze looked into the distance toward the front of the Ancient Hall, as if galaxies were reflected in his soul-like eyes, lifelike in every aspect.

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. Around the sculpture, resonated Daoist Charm. He faintly sensed that touching the sculpture might trigger some unforeseen situation.

Furthermore, the craftsmanship of the sculpture was exceedingly refined, at least at the Eighth or Ninth Stage, sealing a trace of Daoist Charm within. Even with only one percent captured, it left an overwhelming feeling of awe.

“That is the ancient Immortal Divine.”

A Saint stared at the sculpture, their eyes revealing a deep sense of longing.

Though the Immortal Divine had disappeared from the world, the remnants of their relics had unveiled a fragment of their mystique, captivating visitors endlessly.

“Don’t get too close. If the sculpture becomes tainted by your Dao pathways, you won’t escape without consequences.”

An experienced Three Calamities Saint warned some of the Saints who had never been here before.

Li Hao noticed that the heads of two sculptures were shattered, with Daoist Charm dissipated—likely due to past explorations.

“This is the Immortal Platform; up ahead is the Heaven Worship Platform. Both have already been explored.”

The Source Ancestor quietly introduced to Li Hao, walking beside him.

“According to records from other relics and literature from ancient families, the ancestors of some families had once interacted with the Immortal Divine, invited here as guests.”

“The Immortal Platform is where the owner of this Ancient Hall accepted the worship of the Immortal Divine. Not only was the owner himself an Immortal Divine, but he held an incredibly high status among them.”

“And over there is the Heaven Worship Platform, used to pay homage to the Heavenly Dao.”

The Source Ancestor pointed forward.

At the end of the passage leading to the Immortal Platform lay a vast and elevated platform, towering like a mountain, adorned with tattered and faded ceremonial flags.

There was still a considerable amount of dried blood present, yet no miscellaneous items remained, as even this place had been plundered.

Li Hao silently glanced at it; Feng had mentioned this to him as well.

“Over there is the Sealing Dao Platform, the genuine core of the Ancient Hall, accessible only at the Sixth Extreme Realm. Apart from the Immortal Divine Road, there ought to be countless treasures inside.”

Leading the group ahead, the Source Ancestor smiled warmly at Li Hao and said, “This time, it’s all thanks to you that we can enter. Once inside, any treasure you favor, feel free to choose.”

The Divine King sneered coldly but said nothing.

Li Hao merely nodded lightly. No one knew what awaited inside. If top-tier treasures truly lay hidden, only fools would let him pick first. Nevertheless, the Source Ancestor’s words were indeed crafted to leave a favorable impression.

Not long after, the group arrived in grand fashion before the Sealing Dao Platform.

The Ancient Hall stretched on endlessly, with many mechanisms and prohibitions along the way. However, in the previously explored outer regions, everything had already been cleared, leaving a smooth path forward.

Once the group gathered at the Sealing Dao Platform, Li Hao’s expression grew solemn. Before them, there was a door-like structure enveloped in dense Daoist Charm. Around it lingered faint spatial-cutting power.

Forcing entry would undoubtedly trigger something.

“This is the True Martial Eight Extremes Formation!”

The Source Ancestor raised his hand, and a thread of his power touched the middle of the ancient doorway, as though touching water in midair, stirring ripples.

Simultaneously, a hidden prohibition within surfaced.

“Apart from the power of the Sixth Extreme Realm, every prerequisite Extreme Realm power—these we possess.”

The Source Ancestor declared.

This True Martial Eight Extremes Formation had been deciphered by Saints sacrificing their lives and by pooling the expertise of top-tier formation masters from the All Heavens.

It required the Extreme Realm power corresponding to the Martial Arts Eight Realms, inserted step by step, to unlock the formation.

As the Source Ancestor finished speaking, the Saints’ gazes all shifted toward Li Hao.

The Divine King, Mixed Heaven Saint, and others fixed their eyes on Li Hao as well. Among all the All Heavens, the youth before them was the only one possessing the mysterious Sixth Extreme Realm.

Li Hao’s expression appeared calm, but he knew that once the formation opened, his uniqueness would cease to matter. At that point, survival would depend entirely on capability.

As things stood now, he couldn’t refuse. On the other side of this gate lay something that made All Heavens Saints madly covet.

Taking a deep breath, he began manifesting his Extreme Realm powers one by one.

The Martial Arts Eight Realms were: Universal Force, Full Circle, Soul Continuation, Divine Traveling, Fifteen Miles, Heavenly Human Realm, Three Immortalities, and Fourfold Establishment!

Corresponding to them were their respective Extreme Realms: Divine Power, Heaven and Earth Vein, Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation, Primordial Spirit, Returning Ruins, Transform to Immortal, Undying and Everlasting, and Eternal Dao Domain!

As Li Hao revealed each successive power—Divine Power, Heaven and Earth Vein, and so forth—he fed these energies into the True Martial Eight Extremes Formation before him.

The formation began to radiate streams of light, each section illuminated one by one.

Upon reaching the Sixth Extreme Realm, Li Hao’s hair turned silver-white as he summoned the Power of Heaven and Earth to channel his Transform to Immortal energy into the formation.

The array surged with dazzling silver brilliance, becoming exceedingly radiant.

Excluding Transform to Immortal, the Source Ancestor and other Supreme Saints had mastered all other Extreme Realms.

Knowing Li Hao possessed the necessary Sixth Extreme Realm, no one acted otherwise. They left the task of unlocking the formation entirely to him.
