The Name of Eternity

"Just one move."

Li Hao thought for a moment and said more pertinently.

Ren Qianqian's eyes were shining, and she did not doubt Li Hao's words. After all, Li Hao's swordsmanship was far beyond hers, and she could barely fight with him for a few moves.

"What about the tenth level of the Step Soul Realm?" she asked.

"One move."

"...What about those who have just entered the Immortal Ascension Realm?"

"One move."

"..."

Seeing Ren Qianqian's stunned look, Li Hao smiled, turned around and said, "Let's go, go back and rest when you've had enough fun."

Ren Qianqian came to her senses, quickly followed Li Hao's footsteps, and asked: "Master, are you serious? Are you relying on swordsmanship?"

Li Hao knocked her on the head: "Don't compare with me."

The major veins and luck methods he developed in the Zhoutian realm are top-notch, and this power is enough to support him in cross-border operations.

In addition, it is difficult to copy the world of the successor soul. Even if you are only at the first level of the successor soul realm, the number of times you can condense the soul phase is equivalent to that of a person at the fifth level of the successor soul realm. With the combination of the yin and yang pulses, you can defeat the person who has just entered the wandering world with one move. A warrior in the realm.

If swordsmanship is used again, it will be more difficult to calculate.

Ren Qianqian held the sword in one hand and covered her head with the other, feeling a little aggrieved.

But she also knew that Li Hao was right. If compared with him, her Taoist heart would easily collapse.

"Just follow your own way of swordsmanship. There is no need to compare with others." Li Hao said.

Ren Qianqian's heart was shocked. She followed her own way of swordsmanship without comparison... She looked at the back of the young man in front of her and thought to herself, is he like this too?

When the two left, they were at the Divine Ascension Realm arena on the other side.

A group of figures gathered over, and suddenly, one of the women paused slightly.

"What's wrong, Yueyao?" Lin Feifei asked in surprise.

"I just thought I saw Master Li."

Song Yueyao stopped and looked to another place.

"Isn't that the Soul Stage Arena over there?" Lin Feifei followed her gaze and asked doubtfully.

Song Yueyao frowned slightly when she saw the moving figure over there, then shook her head slightly and looked back:

"That's right, I must have read it wrong."

With that person's realm, how could he be in the Jihun realm arena?

She recovered her thoughts and said, "Let's also experience the elegance of the Immortal Ascension Realm in each state."

"Yeah." Lin Feifei's eyes fell on the Shenyoujing arena, and she became a little eager.

It is difficult for martial arts practitioners not to compete for superiority.

Time flies.

Li Hao and Ren Qianqian found an inn to stay in the city. They ate, drank, and walked around every day. Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past three days, Ren Qianqian went to the Jihun Realm Arena to challenge and compete again, and achieved a good ranking, but failed to enter the top ten.

After all, her own realm is too low. She has just stepped into the step soul and has not had time to practice the soul condensation method. It is equivalent to the realm of nothingness, and she does not have the power of the step soul realm.

Those who can pursue the top ten rankings are basically those who have reached the Success Soul Realm, and are all geniuses who have studied under famous families, or some lucky people who have received the opportunity of the old man under the cliff.

Li Hao no longer accompanied her, but wandered around the city looking for famous paintings and chess records.

The result also surprised Li Hao. Although the chess records were not found, after inquiring, he found two famous paintings in a rich man's home.

Unfortunately, one of the famous paintings is a forged imitation and cannot be included, while the other famous painting is an authentic work by a certain painting master, called "Thousands of Sails Crossing the River".

This rich man has no shortage of money. He collects calligraphy and paintings purely for his own liking. The money in Li Hao's hands is of no use. If he wants to win someone's love, he can only rely on other things in exchange.

He thought about secretly collecting the famous paintings and leaving, but in this case, once the famous paintings were collected, they would rot and soon cease to exist in the world.

This rich man was enthusiastic and generous, and Li Hao also gave up this idea.

Fortunately, the rich man's son was a martial arts fanatic and liked to practice martial arts. Li Hao used some skills to easily suppress several martial arts instructors in his courtyard. He convinced several martial arts instructors and the sons of wealthy families, and then agreed to find a famous teacher for him as a Conditions, exchange famous paintings after the deal is completed.

So, on the day when the Grandmaster Conference began, besides Ren Qianqian, Li Hao also had the youngest son of this wealthy family, who was similar in age to Li Hao and named Han Wu.

"That's the Grandmaster's Dojo over there, but we don't have an invitation and can't enter the inner arena."

Han Wu seemed to be quite familiar with the rules of the Grandmaster Conference and had obviously done a lot of homework. When he looked at them, his eyes were full of agility and reverence, and he admired the figures of the Grandmasters inside.

"It's okay, we can get in."

Li Hao has already walked towards the infield.

Although he did not have an invitation, he was in the Heavenly Master realm and could enter directly.

At the door, two young men from Tianjilou who looked like twins stopped the three of them. They were more polite and asked Li Hao to show the invitation, treating the three of them as young men who came with their masters, or as children of aristocratic families who came to study with their masters.

Li Hao didn't send an invitation, he just raised his hand and flicked the dragon-patterned drum next to him.

This big drum is wrapped in demon skin and dragon scales, making it difficult for non-grandmaster realms to shake. It is equipped with clever mechanisms. Even at the peak of the fifteen-mile realm, it is difficult to make a move with brute force, let alone Li Hao's move, which is as light as heavy. Flicked up.

As the big drum buzzed, the two young twins were stunned, and then stared at Li Hao with wide eyes in shock.

Han Wu, who was following Li Hao, was also startled and stunned.

He had seen Li Hao making moves to suppress the martial arts leader, but he only thought that Li Hao was in the Immortal Ascension Realm. After all, at this age in the Immortal Ascension Realm, he was already among the best among men. He didn't expect that he was actually a master of heavenly beings?

"You, are you..."

The two young twins came to their senses, their pupils suddenly shrank, and they looked at Li Hao in horror.

They have never seen the appearance of the Qingzhou legend, but at such an age, he has reached the master level. Apart from that young man, there seems to be no other person in the world!

"You should be able to go in."

Li Hao said.

The two young men reacted, feeling extremely excited, and quickly made way for Li Hao.

Ren Qianqian had already known about Li Hao's state, and she was just smiling at the moment. Han Wu was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was doing, and hurriedly caught up with him. He was so excited that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to ask but was afraid of disturbing Li Hao.

After they entered the room, several figures walked slowly from a distance. Noticing the scene of the young man entering the room, the eyes of the young man wearing cassock at the head narrowed slightly.

…

This grand master's dojo is not located in the center of the city, but beside a river connected to the outside of the moat.

This river is extremely famous in Daliangzhou and is called Longjiang.

The Longjiang River meanders for seven thousand miles, crossing half of Liangzhou and connecting more than a dozen cities.

At this moment, the river is surging, rolling up thousands of layers of silt and yellow water.

Next to the Longjiang River is a majestic dojo. Occasionally when the river surges rapidly, some waves will splash on the edge of the dojo.

Such a majestic and dangerous place also gives people a sense of grandeur and pride.

The Grandmaster competes with heaven and earth. Such an environment is suitable for a sympathetic state of mind.

In the inner court outside the forum, figures were shaking. Although only grandmasters and their families could enter this inner court, the number of grandmasters from all over the world and the fact that each grandmaster could carry five admission quotas made the inner court extremely crowded. lively.

Some familiar masters recognized each other, exchanged greetings, and introduced their own disciples, or some young masters and ladies brought in by wealthy people with money.

Li Hao looked around, and in addition to seeing the atmosphere of martial arts, he also saw fame and fortune interspersed with it.

Ren Qianqian and Han Wu looked around, feeling a little nervous. After all, the people present were all strong men from various places who had established sects. The three immortal realms above were on a level beyond ordinary people, half-stepping into the legend.

"Come on, let's find a place to sit down first."

Li Hao said, leading the way to an empty table, where there were also pastries for eating and drinking.

He picked up one and tasted it. The taste was just average, so he didn't take the second one.

"Young Master, could you be the fifth-ranked divine general in the Qianlong Ranking..."

After Han Wu sat down, he looked around for a moment, and finally couldn't help but asked Li Hao in a low voice.

Li Hao shook his head slightly: "You are thinking too much."

You can't fool me... Seeing Li Hao's denial, Han Wu snickered in his heart and had already made up his mind.

Although his father always scolded him, "My silly son, why do you have to practice martial arts? Isn't it good to inherit my Wan Guan family property honestly?", but he felt that he was not stupid, his old father was the stupid one, these days Demons are rampant, what's the use of money, power is supreme!

He wanted to transform his family from wealthy merchants to a martial arts family of his own generation.

Most of the ancestors of those aristocratic families have been transformed in this way. Once the transformation is successful, the future genealogy can be written starting from him.

At this moment, the opportunity to rewrite the family tree is right in front of us.

"Master, why don't you accept me as your disciple?" Han Wu said as he stood up, knelt down to Li Hao and paid homage to him.

But before his knees touched the ground, he was lifted up by a force, and Li Hao felt happy. This kid was not old, but he was somewhat shrewd as a businessman.

"I don't accept disciples." Li Hao said.

"I am hard-working, philanthropic, and willing to do anything..."

Han Wu said hurriedly that he would show his good character.

Li Hao quickly asked him to stop and said: "I don't have time to teach others, so it's useless even if you worship me as your teacher."

If he taught people to play chess and paint, he would still be interested, but if he taught people to practice martial arts, he would really feel bored and torture himself.

If Ren Qianqian hadn't followed him from Qingzhou thousands of miles away, he wouldn't have given any advice.

"Master..."

Han Wu looked sad, trying to squeeze out a few tears: "Actually, I lost my mother when I was young..."

Li Hao was speechless. Does this guy want to show off his singing voice?

"Huh? How did you get in?"

At this moment, a surprised sound sounded.

Li Hao sounded familiar. He turned around and saw Zhou Haitang and his disciples approaching.

When Zhou Ling'er saw the gaze cast by Ren Qianqian, her face changed slightly, and a flash of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She was also the daughter of a master, but she was defeated by a peer who had just entered the soul realm. It was a great shame and humiliation.

She wanted to turn her head to avoid looking at him, but she couldn't look directly at him either. She felt angry, so she cast her eyes on Li Hao angrily.

"Senior Zhou."

Li Hao did not look at the little girl next to him, but slightly raised his hand to Zhou Haitang as a greeting, but he sat still without moving.

After all, they are all masters, and according to the rules of the martial arts circle, they are considered equals.

Unless they are from the same family, they will salute according to their elder and younger.

Zhou Haitang frowned slightly when he saw Li Hao's behavior. He thought it was Li Hao who blamed him for his previous cold attitude, and immediately didn't bother to meet the junior and said, "The Bai Chunhai you are looking for is over there."

He raised his finger, and Li Hao looked along his finger. He saw an old man in a gray shirt with a kind face, communicating with others.

"Thank you."

Li Hao nodded.

Zhou Haitang immediately turned around and left without stopping.

He had a steelyard in his heart, knowing that his daughter had received a dagger as a gift, and now with this finger, it was considered as repayment, and the two parties did not owe each other.

Jianghu is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relations.

Therefore, in the arena, the most feared thing is owing favors.

Because some favors may have to be repaid with life, and even the whole family will be implicated.

Seeing the master leaving, Xu Waner glanced at Li Hao, nodded slightly to him, and then left.

Zhou Ling'er stood on pins and needles, glared at Li Hao, and left with her father.

It was only after she walked far away that she said angrily: "They couldn't have sneaked in, right? I'm so angry!"

Zhou Haitang frowned and said: "That child has a calm demeanor, but he is neither humble nor arrogant in front of the master. I guess he comes from a famous noble family, so it is not surprising to have invitations. You should avoid provoking others in the future. I heard from Wan'er that even the maids around them are... It’s shameful that I haven’t fought before!”

"father!"

"When you go back this time, you must practice behind closed doors. You are not allowed to go down the mountain until you enter the Immortal Ascension Realm!"

Zhou Haitang said sternly with a straight face.

Zhou Linger stamped her feet and glanced at Xu Wan'er angrily.

Elsewhere, after Zhou Haitang and the others left, Li Hao stood up and walked towards Grandmaster Bai Chunhai.

There were three or four people sitting at the other table, and behind these masters stood their respective apprentices, which was quite lively.

"Grandmaster Bai?" Li Hao asked tentatively.

The old man in gray shirt who was talking to someone turned around and looked at Li Hao. He saw a young man with good temperament and said, "Who are you?"

Seeing the other party's admission, Li Hao showed a smile on his face and said: "I heard that you have a famous painting, and I would like to purchase it. I don't know what conditions are required?"

"Um?"

Bai Chunhai frowned. Apart from practicing martial arts, his only pleasure was tracing paintings, and he also liked to collect famous paintings.

"Young man, if you want to become a disciple, just do it openly and openly, and don't do these vain things."

Next to him, a burly middle-aged man said that he was at the peak of the Fifteen Miles Realm. He came here with his master Bai Chunhai just to hear the Tao and step into the Heavenly Realm.

The other disciples of the Grand Master also looked at Li Hao and the other three with a chuckle, thinking that they were young masters from aristocratic families who came to become their disciples.

"You misunderstood, I am not a disciple, just for the painting." Li Hao said.

The burly middle-aged man changed his color slightly and said angrily: "Are you here to make trouble?"

Bai Chunhai raised his hand slightly, stopped his disciple, and said to Li Hao: "Young man, I won't sell that famous painting. Please take it back."

Li Hao also knows that it is difficult for money to tempt the things collected by such masters, unless it is really a huge wealth that can rival the country's wealth.

Other than that, it can only be exchanged for something else.

"Grandmaster Bai, why don't you make a condition and let me see if I can achieve it, a unique skill or a weapon or treasure?" Li Hao asked again.

Bai Chunhai frowned slightly, glanced at Li Hao, and suddenly felt that this young man might really be here for the painting, rather than deliberately coming to tease him.

He said calmly: "No matter what, I don't lack anything. Everything in the world is hard to buy and I like it in my heart. You can go back and don't bother me again."

Li Hao was slightly stunned, a little helpless. The other party was determined not to take it out.

In other words, I think he can't come up with something that's exciting enough for him.

"Grandmaster Bai, I know it's difficult for you to give up your love. In addition to famous paintings, you also have other hobbies. I can exchange them for things." Li Hao said.

"Which family are you from? My master asked you to leave, didn't you hear clearly?" The burly middle-aged man took a step forward and said with an angry expression.

Bai Chunhai waved his hand to block his apprentice and said to Li Hao: "Young man, please come back. I have spoken clearly enough."

Li Hao looked at him and nodded when he saw this: "I understand."

When he didn't insist anymore, he turned around and returned.

Since the other party won't change, we can only find opportunities to steal it.

A gentleman will not take away the love of others, unless you force me to not be a gentleman...

Returning to his previous seat, not long after Li Hao sat down, a sudden sound of surprise came:

"Master Li?"

Li Hao turned around and saw a group of people standing not far away, looking here.

When they saw Li Hao's face, their eyes widened and they rushed over in surprise.

Li Hao also recognized that it was Song Yueyao from Tan Palace Academy and the group of White Palace disciples.

The leaders were Shen Yunqing, Zhao Zongyuan and other gentlemen from the academy, as well as Su Yehua.

"It's really you. When Zhou Zheng mentioned it, I still didn't believe it."

Shen Yunqing said in surprise and couldn't help laughing.

"Master Li!"

Next to them, Zhou Zheng, Song Yueyao and other White Hall disciples all called Li Hao quickly.

Although Li Hao is younger than them and has only taught two classes in Baidian, they have benefited a lot and have great respect for this talented young man.

Song Yueyao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she suddenly thought of the figure she saw at Jihun Platform before. It seemed that it was not a blind confession, but that it was really Li Hao at that time.

"Why are you here too?" Li Hao was a little surprised, stood up to greet him, and said with a chuckle.

When he left the house, these guys came to see them off. He didn't say hello because he was afraid of getting involved with them, but he kept the friendship in his heart.

"Of course you can't miss such a grand event." Zhao Zongyuan said with a smile.

"Aren't you at Tianmen Pass? Why are you here?" Su Yehua looked at Li Hao curiously.

Everyone else also looked curious, and none of them expected to meet Li Hao here.

"There are no monsters there for the time being, so just come here for a walk." Li Hao said.

Shen Yunqing's smile faded slightly, and he whispered: "If you really can't hold on, just bow your head and admit your mistakes to your father. It's not shameful."

Li Hao glanced at him, patted his shoulder, and said: "Let's not talk about the past."

Shen Yunqing sighed in his heart and stopped persuading him. They didn't want Li Hao to get into trouble at Tianmen Pass.

When the others heard what Li Hao said, they were all silent. Only this young man in front of him could so resolutely give up his noble status second only to the royal family.

"If you need anything at Tianmen Pass, just come to me. I know some people in Liangzhou. Although I can't help you kill demons and exorcise monsters, there should be no problem with food and drink supply." Su Yehua said to Li Hao.

"Okay, sit down first."

Li Hao invited them to take their seats first.

Han Wu stood aside trembling. When he learned that these were all geniuses in Tan Palace, he was extremely excited. When Tan Palace Academy first accepted disciples, he wanted to participate, but was locked up by his father.

The journey from Liangzhou to Qingzhou is long. It takes five days to ride a fast horse, and ten days to go back and forth. If he encounters a demon on the road, his father is worried that he will lose his life.

"Master Li, when we graduate, we will go to Tianmen Pass to find you." Zhou Zheng said immediately after sitting down.

"That's right."

Song Yueyao nodded, staring at Li Hao, and said seriously.

Shen Yunqing said unhappily: "Forget it, Tianmen Pass is such a dangerous place, don't go and cause trouble for others. Where he can stay, you may not be able to stay."

After that, he said to Li Hao: "I am not saying that I don't want them to help you, nor am I afraid of being implicated, I am just afraid that they will hold you back."

"Understood."

Li Hao smiled and looked around: "Are all the people from the White Palace here?"

"All of them are here, but our Tan Palace has limited invitations and quotas. Under the ranking selection, others who were not selected can only go back and rely on their family relationships to come here."

Shen Yunqing said: "I guess they are all here soon."

As he spoke, a voice came from a distance: "Teacher Su!"

"Teacher Li?!"

Several surprised voices came, and then several young people ran over, all disciples of the White Palace.

Su Yehua glanced at Li Hao and said, "I heard that you only taught two classes and improved their strength by one level. These guys respect you very much."

She is in the Fifteen Li Realm. Not long after graduating from the White Palace, she stayed in the academy to teach. She can only teach the A-school students. This time she came to Wen Dao, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to enter the Heavenly Man Realm.

"Master Li."

When these disciples came and saw Li Hao, they all bowed and saluted with respect on their faces.

Although Li Hao left the God General Mansion, it did not affect their respect for Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled and asked Han Wu to move some chairs over and put together a table.

As the White Palace disciples arrived one after another, Li Hao's side became extremely lively. You should know that there are fifty disciples in the White Palace. In addition to the twenty people led by Shen Yunqing and others, there are thirty people who rely on their family relationships to come one after another. Only two or three people are absent.

Everyone is happy to meet in a foreign place. Although Li Hao has been away from Qingzhou for a long time, they feel like they have met again after a long absence.

The conversation here also attracted the attention of some people in the distance.

At the table over there, several Grandmasters noticed the large number of figures surrounding Li Hao. After listening carefully, they heard the identities of Shen Yunqing and others, and also learned the identity of Li Hao from their conversation.

"That child is the genius in Qingzhou?!"

After hearing Li Hao's identity, the Grandmasters at the table were all shocked and looked over in horror.

The young man who just came here to buy famous paintings in a gentle and soft voice turned out to be the world-famous first cultivation genius in the past thousand years?

At the age of fourteen, he rushed to the fifth place on the Qianlong list and challenged the Grandmaster, which can be said to be unprecedented in ancient and modern times!

The burly middle-aged man behind Bai Chunhai suddenly changed his face, and was a little shocked and trembling. He just spoke rudely to the young man, but that person turned out to be a young Grandmaster? !

No wonder the other party ignored him from beginning to end. It turned out that he didn't even have eyes for him.

"He is Li Hao?!"

"A fourteen-year-old in the Heavenly Man Realm, I was wondering why it was strange. I just couldn't detect his cultivation realm."

"So it was him, he looked so young, he was really fourteen years old!"

"He is here too? Grandmaster, I wonder how he kicked open the Heavenly Gate!"

As the news spread, many voices of uproar sounded, and many eyes were cast on the young man surrounded by many Tan Palace students.

In a blink of an eye, that place became the center of attention.

Although there were many young and famous people present, the most popular name in the past few months was definitely that young man.

"What?"

Zhou Haitang was meeting with his old friend, but the Grandmaster had a keen hearing and noticed the other noises and exclamations coming from his ears.

Soon, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at the young man who had just greeted him with a shocked look.

That young man, is he the young Grandmaster? !

Beside him, Zhou Ling'er and Xu Wan'er also heard the discussion. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on them. It was hard for them not to know.

"He is actually... that person?"

Zhou Ling'er was stunned and looked at the young man who was talking and laughing in disbelief. The other party's expression was as casual and warm as always, with an inadvertent smile.

Her heart was pounding wildly, and she felt incredible.

Before this, she had first heard of the young master on the Qianlong list and admired him, and had always wanted to see his true appearance.

As a result, he had just mocked the other party.

"No wonder he has such a good martial arts background and can easily take down the dagger..." The young man muttered to himself, and then he realized that this matter was not worth mentioning to the other party.

"Young master..." Xu Wan'er's eyes flickered, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.

In another place in the banquet, several masters came to greet Li Wushuang.

Although Li Wushuang was only in the realm of divine wandering, his background was too great, and these masters also wanted to borrow the shade of the trees in the God General's Mansion.

Suddenly, the noise from the front made several people look up, and when they listened carefully, they were all stunned.

"He is here too?!"

Li Wushuang stood up suddenly and looked at that place in shock. The next moment, her soul flew out from the top of her head and saw the young man at the banquet in the distance. She would never forget the smile on his face.

With a whoosh, Li Wushuang immediately rushed over.

"Miss."

The two military maids also hurriedly followed.

"Li Hao!"

Li Hao, who was reuniting with the disciples of Tan Palace, suddenly heard someone calling this name directly, and he turned his head to look.

The crowd made way, and Li Wushuang rushed over. She looked a little excited, and her cheeks were slightly red.

"You are here too." Li Hao was a little surprised, but considering the other party's cultivation level, it was normal for him to come here.

"You..."

Li Wushuang had a lot to say, wanted to ask Li Hao why he was here, wanted to persuade Li Hao to go back to the God General's Mansion and not to be angry with his uncle, but when the words came to her lips, she saw the Tan Palace disciples sitting around Li Hao, and looked at the boy surrounded by everyone.

She suddenly felt that without the glory of the God General's Mansion, this boy seemed to still be the center of everyone's attention.

A fourteen-year-old young master is enough to shock the world.

It's not that the other party lost the glory of the God General's Mansion.

It's that the God General's Mansion lost him.

"Are you okay?"

In the end, Li Wushuang only asked this question.

"Very good."

Li Hao smiled slightly. He had neither good feelings nor bad feelings towards this cousin who had beaten him up before.

At the beginning, he just taught the ignorant girl a lesson. Now they met in a different place. The other party did not question him, but asked such a question.

He should respond in a friendly manner.
