Follow the path of Dao from infancy-Chapter 944 - 191: The Outbreak of the Divine War

Chapter 944 -191: The Outbreak of the Divine War

Six months had passed since Li Hao cultivated the All Heavens Star Vein End Realm.

In another two years, it would be the day the Ancient Hall opens.

Li Hao didn’t know whether the divine conflict would impact the Ancient Hall, but he knew he had to prepare ahead of time. He could not merely become a key or a pawn.

Over these six months, the Heavenly Sacred Land had been tranquil, with flowers and grass withering and growing with the passage of time, giving a sense of harmony and peace.

Li Hao spent his leisure time playing chess with Hongyue, fishing with Feng, meeting with the Sword Master and Lie Sky Saint, and then going fishing at the Heavenly River.

After all, those Divine Water Tao Fish were Heaven and Earth Treasures; if he could catch more, he could continue transcending tribulations.

Currently, he was at the Second Tribulation. To reach the Third Tribulation, he would need eighty pieces of Heaven and Earth Treasures — an enormous amount.

“It’s hooked!”

Li Hao felt the fishing line pulse faintly, his eyes lighting up. Through the aura on the fishing line, he could sense that the catch was a Divine Water Tao Fish.

He swiftly raised the line but refrained from pulling too hard. Instead, he maneuvered it back and forth, exhausting the fish’s strength.

When the timing was right, he suddenly hoisted the line, pulling up the fatigued Divine Water Tao Fish. freёweɓnovel.com

“Three now! Kid, don’t go catching all the Tao Fish here!”

The Sword Master saw the Divine Water Tao Fish Li Hao had caught, its shimmering scales exuding radiant brilliance, surrounded by Daoist Charm, and its plump body made his mouth water.

Lie Sky Saint couldn’t help but glance over; she had only caught three fish so far. To her surprise, Li Hao’s fishing skills were quickly catching up to hers.

Feng Boping glanced briefly before focusing back on his fishing line. His lips moved slightly as if silently chanting:

Come, fish, come…

Li Hao removed the hook and stored the Divine Water Tao Fish into the Heaven and Earth Space. Then, he cast out his line again, smiling as he watched his recently boosted fishing experience.

After fishing twice at the Heavenly River, he had gained considerably. His Fishing Dao had now reached the Seventh Stage, and his experience was nearing full.

Once he advanced to Stage Eight, his fishing mastery would rise considerably, likely surpassing Lie Sky Saint.

Lie Sky Saint’s cultivation of the Lie Dao made her particularly suited for fishing, but she didn’t seem deeply invested in mastering it. Otherwise, Li Hao estimated she might have reached the Tenth Stage in Fishing.

Over ten days of fishing, Feng Boping and the Sword Master each caught Divine Water Tao Fish. Li Hao reeled in two more, while Lie Sky Saint managed to catch three.

Li Hao’s Fishing Dao experience reached saturation at the Seventh Stage. With the successive catches of Divine Water Tao Fish, Daoist Charm surged, and Li Hao had a sudden epiphany. His Fishing Dao smoothly advanced to Stage Eight.

A flood of insights filled his heart, deepening his understanding of the art of fishing.

Just as he was about to cast the line for another attempt, he noticed the expressions of the Sword Master and Feng Boping shift slightly, as if they had received some startling news. Their faces turned grim.

At the same time, Lie Sky Saint froze momentarily. Then, she shut her eyes briefly. Upon reopening them, a hint of shock shone within them.

“Something’s happened in the Cloud Heaven Realm and Xuanfeng World!”

“And the Demon Emperor Realm—Shura Night Emperor has been killed!”

The Sword Master added solemnly, his expression growing heavy.

“News from Lark Tower says the Divine Clan acted. They detected traces of Extreme Dao Power. Moreover, countless Divine Clan members have occupied those Holy Lands.”

Feng Boping spoke in a low voice, his eyes flickering with unease.

Even as younger generations uninvolved in the events of that era, they had all heard of the war that annihilated the gods.

No one expected that, after countless ages, the Divine Clan would secretly grow powerful and re-emerge into the world.

“Three middle-level small worlds struck in an instant, with no one able to detect it. The pace is too swift; there’s likely a Supreme Saint involved…”

Lie Sky Saint fixed her gaze, “The Divine Clan cultivates through Extreme Dao, but achieving the level of Supreme Saint is no easy feat. Judging by this situation, it seems a second Divine King has emerged?”

Li Hao listened to their conversation, his thoughts turning serious, abandoning the idea of casting another line. He knew Ying Xiaoxiao’s ancestor had begun moving, though he hadn’t expected that only half a year after Ying Xiaoxiao’s invitation, the opposing side would strike with such overwhelming force.

It seemed evident that the Divine Clan had been secretly planning and preparing for years during their dormant period.

“With the Divine Clan now emerging, this battle is likely just an appetizer. The Source Ancestor won’t sit idly by…”

The Sword Master exchanged glances with the others, concern filling their eyes.

If that war reignited, All Heavens would once more plunge into chaos, with countless lives lost.

“I must return to the Sword Ancestor Holy Land to rally the Sacred Land and discuss matters with the Sword Saint. We should avoid getting involved in this battle at all costs.”

The Sword Master stood and addressed Li Hao and the others.

Li Hao and Feng both nodded faintly, making no attempt to dissuade him.

After the Sword Master left, Feng Boping sighed, “Another calamity approaches. With the Divine Clan daring to reveal themselves, they’ve likely prepared thoroughly for a clash with the Source Ancestor. They seem relentless; this won’t be simple. We must ensure we don’t get entangled in this. The three affected worlds all housed figures tied to that Divine Clan war long ago—seems this is mostly about revenge.”

“Indeed.”

Li Hao nodded, seeing that Feng and Lie Sky Saint had no intention of interfering, which eased him somewhat.

“Let’s head back. Seal off the Sacred Land and activate the Little Thousand World’s great formation to prevent the Divine Clan from biting indiscriminately like rabid dogs and injuring us.”

Lie Sky Saint stood, without any enthusiasm left for tranquil fishing.

Li Hao followed suit, accompanying them back.

Upon returning to the Little Thousand World, Feng Boping and Lie Sky Saint initiated the great world-formation. Once activated, the Little Thousand World would be sealed completely, prohibiting entry or exit.

Afterward, they reinforced the Sacred Land’s barriers and issued commands to the various Divine Dynasties within the Little Thousand World to quell disturbances.

“The Source Ancestor has grown increasingly unfathomable over the years. For the Divine Clan to reveal themselves so aggressively, there must be some hidden confidence behind their actions. We should remain as spectators for now.”
