Imperial City Ruins, opportunities refreshed daily

Chapter 165 Advancing to the Dao Realm

Xu Hao glanced at the scene and felt a sense of relief.

There were three more draws, one of which was an extremely auspicious one.

This indicates that he can reliably obtain an opportunity at the entry level.

Xu Hao suppressed his excitement and examined them one by one.

After looking at the first draw, Xu Hao's expression turned slightly serious.

The weasel and the blood dragon in the sealed space are truly incorrigible!

"This is getting crazier and crazier. They really want me to take it, so they're willing to use multiple Dao-level treasures to lure me in!" Xu Hao took a deep breath and restrained his inner impulse.

We can't afford to be reckless yet.

Although several Dao-level treasures were very tempting, Xu Hao decided to proceed cautiously.

Moreover, once he reaches the entry level, he will be able to search for resources at a higher level.

How could someone at the mere entry-level cultivation level possibly impress him?

Xu Hao looked down and landed directly on the top fortune slip.

Soon, after confirming the specific situation, he got up and headed towards Weiyang Lake.

The cultivation technique has been obtained; now all that's lacking are some cultivation resources.

Before long, Xu Hao arrived at Weiyang Lake.

He was quite pleased with the fact that he had moved the Xu residence outside the capital city; otherwise, how could he have so easily gotten to the place he was looking for?

Xu Hao arrived at the edge of Weiyang Lake, and after confirming the exact location, he jumped into the lake.

Once Xu Hao determined the location, he immediately began to carve the Broken Domain Seal.

At the very moment the hour of Xu (7:15 PM) arrived, Xu Hao quickly finished carving the last line of the Domain Breaking Seal.

hum.

In an instant, the Domain-Breaking Seal gathered boundless energy and fiercely bombarded the center of the Domain-Breaking Seal.

A ripple then created a small, exquisite black hole.

Xu Hao was prepared. He covered his palm with his true energy and then reached out to grab it.

In a vast, evil world, in an extremely yin place, a hand suddenly appeared and grasped an abnormal fruit growing there.

hum.

The next second, Xu Hao pulled his hand back.

At the bottom of Weiyang Lake, Xu Hao withdrew his hand, and in his palm was a scorching hot fruit the size of a fist.

The fruit is bright red, and as soon as it is revealed, it emits a pleasant aroma that soothes the whole body.

At the same time, the immense energy it contains causes the space at the bottom of the lake to become somewhat distorted.

This is a sign that the world is not allowed to give birth to treasures of the Dao-level.

The reason is simply that the world at present is not yet capable of producing rare and precious materials of the Dao-level.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao immediately opened the Fortune Telling panel to check the information.

[The Fire Yang Fruit, a treasure grown in a special region, contains intense yang and fire energy. It can strengthen the body, fill the body with energy, cleanse the marrow and bones, and enhance blood and qi. Entry-level!]

Xu Hao glanced at the scene and his face lit up with joy.

Because this thing is a perfect match for him!

Xu Hao quickly put it into his backpack on the virtual panel.

Because it is placed outdoors, it loses too much energy.

Without sealing technology, Xu Hao could only put it into his backpack to ensure the freshness and energy integrity of the Fire Sun Fruit.

Xu Hao looked around and then left Weiyang Lake.

The imperial guards were still watching from all sides, but they all seemed to be used to it.

Many people have entered Weiyang Lake, but no one has been able to find even the slightest clue.

Therefore, many people are even speculating whether there are ancient relics in Weiyang Lake.

Xu Hao naturally wouldn't explain, because if it weren't for the Domain Breaking Seal, he would find it hard to believe that there was an evil world existing outside the corresponding space of Weiyang Lake.

Xu Hao returned to the new Duke's mansion, where he sat cross-legged in the back courtyard and continued to study the Overlord's Skill.

Because he felt that one Fire Sun Fruit was not enough, he planned to collect more resources for the Dao Entry level so that he could break through to the Dao Entry level in one fell swoop.

After all, he cultivates to the extreme. A single Fire Sun Fruit might be enough for others to advance, but for Xu Hao, it might be just a little bit insufficient.

To avoid running out of resources when cultivation reaches a critical moment, Xu Hao decided to play it safe.

Even if it's enough, he can acquire more resources at the entry-level, which he can then use to help those around him or sell to other forces.

In short, it's always better to be prepared.

The next day, Xu Hao went to the outer city of the palace as usual, and he obtained a Lingzhi mushroom of the Dao-entering level.

The Ganoderma lucidum was pure white, as if it were made of snowflakes, and possessed extremely powerful healing effects; it was also at the Dao-entering level.

On the third day, Xu Hao obtained a Yang Ginseng through the divination panel.

It is an extremely peculiar existence, a treasure that increases qi and blood and regulates the body, and it has also reached the level of entering the Dao.

On the fourth day, Xu Hao obtained a handful of Thousand Soul Liquid.

This is a Dao-level treasure formed from the condensation of too many demons that died on the ground. It is like jelly and can enhance the strength of the soul, containing immense energy.

Thus, Xu Hao searched for seven days for an opportunity to enter the Dao, and obtained seven rare and precious materials.

Each one is incredibly powerful.

"This should allow me to advance to the Dao Entry level!" Xu Hao looked at the many Dao Entry level resources he had collected in his backpack, took a deep breath, and went to the back courtyard.

"Young Master, what are your orders?" Qin Feixue asked as soon as she saw Xu Hao come out of the room.

Empress Xuan Qingxiao and Tang Wan'er, who were standing to the side, both opened their eyes.

"Well, I will be in seclusion for a while. If anyone comes to cause trouble, you should handle it yourselves. If you can't handle it, then come and let me know!" After Xu Hao finished speaking, he took out several magical artifacts and handed them to Xuan Qingxiao and Qin Feixue.

These are spirit-grade magical artifacts obtained from the Cui family.

The reason I didn't teach it to Xuan Qingxiao and Qin Feixue before was because I was afraid they would neglect their cultivation.

But now, Xu Hao needs to go into seclusion to break through to the Dao Entry level, so he feels he should still arm Xuan Qingxiao and Qin Feixue.

So that the enemy wouldn't attack his home and delay his advancement.

Although Xuan Qingxiao and Qin Feixue could not fully utilize the combat power of their spirit-grade magic weapons, they were still able to hold off the enemy for a while.

In this world, the Heavenly Rank is almost fixed, and the Spirit Rank should be rare.

Xu Hao was confident that he could recover after just a short while.

"Yes, we will definitely protect you!" Qin Feixue was the first to express her support.

Xu Hao is everything to her now.

Whether the Holy Flame Cult can continue depends on Xu Hao, so he cannot allow any accidents to happen to Xu Hao.

"Don't worry, unless the enemy steps over my dead body," Xuan Qingxiao quickly added.

The Great Xuan Dynasty now needs to rely on Xu Hao. If Xu Hao falls, the Great Xuan Dynasty will not be able to survive.

It can be said that she and Xu Hao are deeply intertwined, sharing both glory and fortune.

If one is harmed, all are harmed.

"I will cultivate diligently and try not to hold you back!" Tang Wan'er, who was standing to the side, also expressed her determination.

"No need for that, just hold out for a moment and then call me!" Xu Hao said with a smile.

That is, if he can block the first wave while he is immersed in cultivation, then the rest can be handed over to him.

“Hmm!” The three exchanged glances, all seeing the determination in each other’s eyes.

"Alright, there are still some resources here, you can cultivate together!" Xu Hao took out some things that he hadn't used before, and then he went into the room.

After closing the door, Xu Hao sat down and began to meditate, circulating his Martial Spirit Profound Technique.

After his energy and spirit had returned to their peak, he took out the Overlord Skill and examined it carefully.

During these seven days, Xu Hao studied the text continuously and, with the help of the Enlightenment Bone, comprehended the cultivation method of the technique.

But at this moment, he still needed to review it to avoid any mistakes or omissions. The Spirit Rank is the birth of a Martial Spirit, while Entering the Dao is the complete fusion of the Martial Spirit with the body.

As the saying goes, when the heart and mind are in harmony, the mind and spirit are in harmony.

The key to entering the Tao is the soul.

When a martial spirit is born, a soul is born.

It's not that it happened out of nowhere, but rather it's like the creation of a clone that can be controlled autonomously.

However, this is not a clone, but a complete fusion of the soul and the martial spirit, making it even stronger and more integrated.

For others, after reaching the Spirit Rank, they would still need to seek out various methods and resources for cultivating their souls to strengthen themselves.

Because the soul is something invisible and intangible, it is relatively simple for the Taoist sect, as the nascent soul may be born at the moment the elixir is shattered.

But martial artists are different. Martial artists start by cultivating their qi and blood, and if they want their souls to expand, they need far too many conditions.

Xu Hao is different from ordinary martial artists because he has obtained too many rare and precious materials.

Most of them can enhance the spirit.

High-quality resources generally have some effect, more or less.

For example, there are two types of treasures we obtained this time that are specifically designed to enhance the soul.

Fire Yang Fruit, Yang Ginseng.

Xu Hao took out the Fire Sun Fruit first, cut off a small piece with his sharp Evergreen Sword, and then swallowed it.

Xu Hao immediately connected with his martial arts heart and activated the Martial Spirit Profound Technique.

boom.

The martial spirit within his dantian was completely aroused, connecting with his true essence and then rapidly circulating according to the cultivation method of the Martial Spirit Profound Technique.

At the same time, the Niwan Palace between Xu Hao's eyebrows also vibrated rapidly, causing the power of the heart of martial arts to continuously impact and nourish back and forth.

When Xu Hao's aura reached its peak, and his true essence transformed into a vast energy that filled his body, he immediately changed his hand seals and adjusted his breathing.

Then he quickly guided his true energy, circulating it according to the cultivation method of the Overlord Technique.

boom.

The Fire Sun Fruit releases endless energy.

In an instant, Xu Hao's aura surged to its peak.

His blood and energy surged, making him appear ethereal and majestic.

Boom boom boom.

The spirit within the Niwan Palace began to move, emanating a mysterious aura.

At this moment, his soul was like that of another Xu Hao.

Guided by the Overlord Technique, it began to move slowly along the meridians and acupoints.

Meanwhile, the martial heart and martial spirit within the dantian were also drawn by the divine soul, and began to establish channels and bridges.

The two, drawing upon the energy of the Fire Sun Fruit, continuously attract and intertwine.

This scene was extremely slow, yet extremely dangerous.

It is extremely difficult to merge two different things.

Fortunately, Xu Hao had all the necessary conditions.

Moreover, the Fire Yang Fruit had enough energy, so he began to try to speed up the process.

Even with the suppression of the Qi Concealing Technique, Xu Hao's blood, qi, and soul power still spread out as he cultivated.

After spreading outside the room, it was instantly sensed by Xuan Qingxiao, Qin Feixue, and Tang Wan'er.

"Such a powerful energy tide!" Xuan Qingxiao exclaimed in surprise.

She knew that Xu Hao's cultivation was extremely high, and he had likely already reached the Spirit Rank. So what was he at this moment?
Is it about refining one's spiritual rank, or breaking through to the next spiritual rank?

From her perspective, she felt it should be about advancement, since this world was still very weak, and even with the existence of the Shu Mountain ruins, there shouldn't be anything beyond the Spirit Rank.

For a moment, Xuan Qingxiao had no idea what it was.

"Wow, my energy is increasing like crazy!" Tang Wan'er exclaimed in surprise.

Her cultivation level was the lowest, which is why she felt the most violent.

Even from just a sliver of her aura, she felt herself completely immersed in endless energy.

Her cultivation level improved after absorbing just a little bit.

"Let's try cultivating first, we can't let such an opportunity go to waste!" Qin Feixue was only shocked for a moment before she came back to her senses.

Because Xu Hao gave us so much inspiration.

I'm almost used to it!
“Yes, let’s cultivate diligently, and perhaps we can break through!” Xuan Qingxiao also came back to her senses and closed her eyes to cultivate.

At that moment, they felt as if the world around them had completely changed.

It was not a barren land, but a blessed paradise, or even a return to the legendary ancient times.

Without hesitation, the three women sat down to meditate and began their cultivation.

With the support of factors such as enlightenment and spiritual growth, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

In this way, time passed quietly.

During this period, many people and forces wanted to meet Xu Hao, but they were all turned away by Xu Qianzhi.

Ten days passed.

Some powerful figures from the Eastern Extreme Region began to appear one after another. After arriving in the Great Xuan Dynasty, they did not immediately go to the Xu family to spy on them.

Instead, he kept asking the people around him for specific information.

After all, he is the one who can kill Cui Mingshuang, so we have to be wary of him.

During this period, Xu Hao's internal condition completely changed.

A wisp of energy from the divine soul of the Niwan Palace became entangled with the Martial Spirit.

When Xu Hao advanced to the Spirit Rank, a mysterious energy entered his Martial Heart. Now, after deliberately circulating the Overlord Technique, he felt a hazy sensation appear in his heart.

This sensation became increasingly refined and powerful as it absorbed more and more Dao-level treasure energy.

"You're about to enter the path!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Hao picked up a complete Dao-level treasure and swallowed it.

boom.

The powerful energy, combined with his own true essence, then gestated and transformed from the heart of martial arts, forming a small humanoid figure.

It's somewhat like the Nascent Soul stage in Taoism.

But it is different from the other two, because it seems to be nurtured by powerful blood and energy.

A petty person belonging to the martial arts world.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

All the energy converged at one point, like a cosmic explosion, blasting open a spacious space.

At this moment, the little man naturally fell into the space and then kept changing.

It was as if the little man was trying to completely fit into Xu Hao's own personality.

Three more days passed, and Xu Hao's body trembled once again.

Then he opened his eyes.

This is the path to martial arts.

At this moment, Xu Hao's body and cultivation reached their strongest state ever.

A sudden realization arose spontaneously.

He knew that he had entered the path!
Now, he is an expert at the Dao Entry level.

"Is this the Dao Entry Level?" Xu Hao felt the situation within his body and realized that the world was completely different.

Wide sea diving, sky high the birds to fly.

The immense power made Xu Hao want to let out a long roar...
