Chapter 158 Dragon Blood, Entering the Dao Level
Three days later, Xu Hao opened his eyes, felt the condition inside his body, and was overjoyed.

After refining the entire Yang Lotus, his cultivation level reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, almost reaching the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

The energy of the sunflower root was even more powerful than he had imagined.

But soon, Xu Hao felt it was only natural.

This is a complete treasure at the entry-level.

Even the Yang Lotus Root might be an extremely high-grade existence even at the entry-level.

If such a treasure were given to someone else, not only would their Spirit Rank advance by several levels, but they could even advance their rank at the Dao Entry level.

In other words, Xu Hao's cultivation was at its peak, and his foundation was too solid.

Otherwise, he would have risen several ranks in one leap.

Xu Hao sensed the condition within his body and, after adapting slightly, took out the Shu Mountain Sword Manual and began to comprehend it.

During this refinement and advancement, Xu Hao has already reached an extremely high level of compatibility with the Dao Bone. He also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to comprehend some ultimate techniques.

Half a day later, Xu Hao was suddenly jolted, and a sword-like light flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he stood up on his own, drew his Evergreen Sword, and began to brandish it.

puff.

Soon, true essence surged, poured into the Evergreen Sword, and transformed into a sword beam that disappeared into the void.

Click.

The void trembled, as if some iron object had struck glass, causing cracks to appear in the void.

Although the crack healed quickly, the sharpness of the sword's edge still caused Xu Hao to show an exaggerated expression.

"Is this a Dao-level sword technique?" Xu Hao had seen the Space Shuttle's attacks before.

When the space shuttle is at its peak, it can bombard space and cause cracks to appear in it.

This is a characteristic of those who have entered the path.

Xu Hao never expected that, through his advancement and comprehension, he would actually develop a sword move at the Dao-level.

In other words, when fighting against others, he can reach the level of an entry-level cultivator.

"As expected of someone with the talent for enlightenment, comprehending even one move from this is already priceless!"

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

He didn't stop immediately, but continued to reflect.

With a sword technique at the entry-level, and with the blessing of the Martial Spirit, he can also comprehend other techniques.

Same way.

Xu Hao stopped trying to comprehend the material as afternoon approached.

Although he hadn't grasped any other Dao-level techniques, he had still mastered quite a few Heaven-level and Spirit-level skills, and he now had a deeper understanding of the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada.

The "Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada" technique is a skill-based method.

This can be used at any level.

With a powerful physical body, the Eight Steps to Catch the Cicada will be even faster.

Xu Hao used the facilities briefly, then went to the side to wash up before opening the door to the room.

crunch.

Xu Hao went to the back courtyard.

In front of the stone table in the backyard, Ninth Princess Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er were still deep in their cultivation.

With the aid of the Enlightenment Bone and the energy of the Dao-entering level, the three women's cultivation has improved considerably, and they are still immersed in the expansion of their cultivation.

Xu Hao remained calm and strode to the front courtyard of the Xu family home.

At this moment, even Xu Qianzhi was seriously assuming a stance and diligently cultivating.

Xu Hao shook his head, not wanting to disturb them, and left the Xu family home to go directly to the palace.

Looking at the gazes of everyone around him, Xu Hao felt that he needed to discuss with the Ninth Princess, Xuan Qingxiao, that he should settle his family next to the outer city of the palace.

It could even break through a section of the city wall.

This would make it much easier for him to enter the palace in search of opportunities, and would not attract the attention of countless people around him.

"We can talk about it when we get back!" Xu Hao thought this would make things easier for everyone.

After all, coming here every day is a waste of time and energy. It's much more convenient to just sit in the room and look for opportunities directly.

"Greetings, Duke Zhenguo!" At the entrance of the palace, the guards immediately adopted the most respectful expressions upon seeing Xu Hao's arrival.

"Ok!"

Xu Hao nodded, and then went to a secluded spot outside the palace on his own.

Using his powerful senses to confirm that no one was watching him, Xu Hao immediately opened the Fortune Telling panel.

[You spend one opportunity to refresh your point. We are searching for you...]

Xu Hao waited for a moment, and a message appeared:
【Daily fortune telling.】

The enemy is on their way!

Xu Hao glanced at it and couldn't help but sneer.

Quite simple.

However, if we were to come back now, it's uncertain who would be the prey and who would be the hunter.

Now that he has mastered a sword technique at the entry-level, he really wants someone to try it out and see its power.

While Xu Hao waited, the divination tool displayed a series of fortune slips:

[The worst possible outcome: At 1:15 PM, go to the No. 111 courtyard of the Imperial Palace and use the Domain-Breaking Seal to open a spatial passage to obtain an opportunity at the Dao-entering level.]

However, the weasel, empowered by powerful demons like the Blood Dragon, constantly monitors demonic energy, waiting for your appearance. [Great Misfortune]

[If you win the lottery, do nothing, and after a night, everything will be calm. Everything will be stable, no worries, and peace.]

[Auspicious sign: At 2:45 PM, go to the No. 111 courtyard of the Imperial Palace, use the Seal-Breaking Seal to open a spatial passage, attract the attention of powerful demons such as the weasel, and then use the Domain-Breaking Seal to break through space at the No. 83 courtyard of the Imperial Palace to safely obtain an opportunity at the Dao-entry level.]

However, fortune may bring misfortune. Although one can obtain the opportunity safely, it also incurs the wrath of the powerful demons sealed within the space, resulting in significant karmic consequences. Great fortune.

[Due to your current status and cultivation level, you can only search for shallow-level sealed opportunities at the entry-level. Please improve your status and cultivation level.]

Three lots appeared at once during the fortune-telling.

A very bad fortune, very bad luck.

Winning the lottery is nothing special.

Another extremely auspicious sign!
"Not bad, at least we gained something!" Xu Hao's gaze swept over.

His expression hardened when he saw the first unlucky draw.

The weasel failed to catch the ripples formed by his Domain Breaking Seal, which not only colluded with the Blood Flood Dragon, but even alerted the entire sealed space.
"You're still too green to try and control me," Xu Hao sneered.

No matter how the weasel and the blood dragon plot, as long as they pose a threat to him, it will all be shown in the divination of opportunities, and all his efforts will be in vain.

After scanning the list, Xu Hao looked past the middle lot and then at the top lot.

"Hmm, use the broken seal to lure them in, and then secretly make a move?" After looking at the auspicious fortune slip, Xu Hao already had a plan in mind.

Even if you have a way to overcome obstacles, I have a brilliant plan!

After carefully reading the auspicious fortune slip, Xu Hao immediately took action.

He first carved the seal on the broken seal at the No. 111 villa.

He had carved this thing several times before, even in front of a weasel, and had once stolen a treasure from it.

At the time, no information was transmitted, which clearly meant that the spatial fluctuations caused by this thing could not be perceived by the weasel's innate abilities.

Now, we can use the broken seal to confuse the opponent.

After Xu Hao finished carving the seal-breaking seal in the No. 111 courtyard, he covered the pattern with his true energy, ensuring that he would not make the last stroke until 2:45 PM.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Hao rushed to the No. 83 detached courtyard of the palace to inscribe the Domain Breaking Seal.

After everything was finished, Xu Hao quietly waited for the second quarter of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) to arrive.

While Xu Hao waited, many powerful demons had already gathered in the Blood Dragon's second cave within the sealed space.

The weasel was just a few steps away from being able to decipher the array patterns of the sealed space, but it never had the chance.

So the weasel took the initiative to inform the Blood Dragon, wanting the Blood Dragon to bring it to its cave to await the thief's arrival. However, the Blood Dragon hesitated for a moment before directly spreading the news to the other powerful demons.

This is to allow everyone to share the risk.

After all, no one knows what's going on outside the sealed space.

According to their understanding, after the heavens and earth sank, they would also recover. This was the conclusion reached by some powerful people at that time through divination.

They've survived until now, just hoping to get out alive.

But who knows what's going on outside?

Blood Dragon also longed to go out alone and dominate a region, but the risks were too great.

Therefore, rather than risking it alone, it's better to let all the great demons invade.

Because relying solely on the weasel to maintain its demonic power output is insufficient.

Thus, once all the great demons understood the weasel's mutated talent, they formed an alliance.

At least within the sealed space, everyone must do their best to protect the weasel.

At this moment, the weasel had a big smile on its face.

It knew that at this moment of sealing the space, its safety was completely guaranteed, and it could obtain a great deal of resources.

It can even cultivate itself slowly in secret.

What happens after the seal is broken?
That's its natural talent!

The moment it came to find the Blood Dragon, it had already found a solution.

Once the seal is broken, it can return to the sea like a fish and soar through the sky like a bird.

Everything is ready; now all we have to do is wait for the thief to arrive.

Time slowly passed, and the weasel released a faint demonic power, covering the blood dragon's cave.

Not too many, not too few.

If there are too many, I'm afraid thieves won't come.

Without it, one might not gain enough understanding.

Soon, the second quarter of the hour of Wei (1-3 PM) arrived.

At that very moment, faint ripples appeared in the space.

"They're here!" the weasel shouted excitedly, its face full of excitement.

If I can grasp this concept well, then breaking the seal won't be far off.

The other powerful demons also immediately focused their attention, their faces showing inexplicable joy.

Even some powerful demons were already planning what to do after escaping.

hum.

Inside the Blood Dragon's cave, the weasel intently sensed the fluctuations around it.

But soon, it frowned.

Because what I sensed was not much energy fluctuation.

The space merely cracked open with ripples before dissipating completely.

This situation is completely different from what it has experienced before.

And the thief didn't even extend his hand!
"How is this going?"

While the weasel was still wondering, the other great demons in the Blood Dragon Cave had already turned their attention to it.

Even the impatient demon's voice rang out, "So, what did you feel?"

"Yes, is it possible to break the seal?"

The other powerful demons were filled with anticipation.

Just as the weasel was about to answer, a huge roar echoed from outside, followed by a painful howl.

Dozens of miles underground, beneath the Blood Dragon's cave, a massive, worm-like demon was writhing in agony, accompanied by endless rage and roars.

One of the sealing stones hidden inside its body has been lost.

That thing, which it valued most and which could cause its blood to surge, was actually stolen from it while it was hidden in its stomach.

"What's going on?" The other powerful demons frowned, but none of them left. Instead, they looked at the weasel.

At this moment, nothing is more important than the weasel's perception, no matter how important the matter is.

"Everyone, I didn't sense anything. It's as if the other side knew all along, and they're just putting up a smokescreen here!" The weasel took a deep breath and could only tell the truth.

"What?!" The other powerful demons were furious. "Are you kidding me?"

"Really, the thief used a feint!" The weasel could only answer truthfully.

Inside the eighty-third annex of the palace, Xu Hao traced the final stroke of the Domain-Breaking Seal, then reached into the black hole, grabbed a hard object, and instantly pulled back.

This action was done in one go.

It doesn't take any time at all.

As the spatial black hole closed, a faint roar of the beast that sealed the space could still be heard, and he now held a hard object in his hand.

"You tried to scheme against me, but you lost more than you gained! I'd like to see how many times you can afford to fail!"

"Hmph, once my cultivation level is high enough, I'll give you plenty, because I'm also really craving your body parts!"

Xu Hao grinned, but quickly composed himself and turned his gaze to a black sealing stone in his hand.

Another opportunity to enter the path.

What could it be?

Xu Hao immediately opened the Fortune Telling app to check the specific information.

Dragon blood, refined through special methods, possesses powerful body-refining effects and can improve a person's aptitude. It is one of the foundational treasures of major sects, but due to its long history, its energy has been severely depleted, and it no longer possesses its original level. Entry-level.

Xu Hao glanced at it and paused for a moment.

Dragon blood?

Xu Hao had already benefited greatly from obtaining the dragon's blood last time, which greatly accelerated his cultivation.

Now, they've actually obtained dragon blood.

Although a great deal of energy was lost, this was the blood of a mythical creature!
Legend has it that a single drop of dragon's blood can change a person's destiny.

Now, Xu Hao has obtained two sealing stones the size of fists.

How many people's lives will this change?

Xu Hao resisted the urge to immediately open the sealing stone. He put it into the virtual backpack on the panel, then looked around and began to erase the traces around him.

The patterns and designs of seal script, seal script, and other similar scripts should not be revealed to the public.

These are all good things; if you arrange them casually, they can create a strong deterrent effect.

For example, when the evil cultivators on the Heavenly Ranking attacked, the entire capital was shrouded in black mist, but the Xu family alone was able to block the invasion of the black mist.

This is due to the effects of the Domain-Breaking Seal and the Seal-Breaking Seal.

Xu Hao didn't want someone else to learn what he had finally obtained.

After dealing with the courtyard in front of him, Xu Hao immediately rushed to courtyard number 111 to clear away any traces of the broken seal.

Once everything was in place, Xu Hao strode briskly toward the Xu family compound.

Xu Hao returned to the Xu family home soon after.

"Young master, you're back!!"

Three voices rang out simultaneously, filled with intense respect.

"Is your cultivation going smoothly?" Xu Hao asked with a smile.

"It went very smoothly!" The three women exchanged glances and replied in unison.

The training I've done in the last few days has been equivalent to several years, and the efficiency has been greatly increased.

They benefited greatly.

"That's good. You guys get used to it first, I'm going to take a break!"
