Free Web NovelChapter 1873: Time is Difficult to Repair (I)
The Exalted Blood Emperor fell completely silent after Li Hao’s outlandish request. The Thunder master and the rest looked at each other with wide eyes.
One could simply focus on walking the path of cultivation? Wasn’t the point of cultivation to grow stronger? What was the point with getting to the bottom of everything? Would that make one invincible?
What was the goal of taking this enormous risk?
But they weren’t at liberty to persuade Li Hao otherwise. They looked at Void and Number Two. You guys try to speak some sense into the kid, he’s gone completely crazy! He wants to cut himself into pieces and become part of Thunder Region. He’ll be dead if the thunder pillars wipe him out! freewebnσvel.cѳm
He won’t have died to the Dragon master then, but to his own experiments! Won’t that be the greatest tragedy of all?
Li Hao didn’t seem to care. This wouldn’t be a tragedy. If he did die, he would die in the pursuit of dao. I just want to take a good look at what the true nature of dao is. Only when I take a clear look can I tell if my decision is correct or not.
If I succeed, then the road ahead is clear. I will truly be me then.
As for what his death might mean to Silver Moon?
Everyone had their own value and meaning in life. Silver Moon would not fall because he no longer existed. If Li Hao perished, then that was that. Li Hao was not the Human King.
The Human King was New Martial’s Human King. Li Hao did not think he was Silver Moon’s Human King. The young man only hoped that those of Silver Moon could rise up and come into their own. He could not protect them forever.
It so happened that there were two eighth ranks present today, as well as Exalted Blood Emperor, the powerhouse adept at the dao of blood qi. Perhaps they could assist him.
Li Hao was very eager to put his theories to the test. He possessed the three greatest manifestations of dao—the dao chess, Thunder Region, and time. Perhaps he could find their shared traits and create his own system of dao!
Who said time was the be all and end all? What if the myriad of daos could be converted at will?
It could be whatever was wanted or needed. That might be the truest meaning of dao. Time, calamity, and space were just one of its permutations.
Li Hao sank into wild daydreaming, painting the loftiest worlds like a child. The more he dreamed, the more excited he became.
......
Dao disappeared when the body died. How about if the body cracked?
Li Hao wanted to give it a try.
Hence, he instructed the group on how to tear him apart, reducing him to squares of an existence. He would then have the dao chess bury him under each under pillar.
“Tearing me to pieces and burying me is not an action taken at random. I need to be placed in accordance with the relevant part of the dao body and dao meridian! seeing as I wield one thousand worlds and know one thousand daos, that will be the temporary foundation.
“In addition, it’s easy to identify the relevant counterpart in the dao chess, but much harder for the thunder pillars. The slightest misstep will be very dangerous.” Li Hao scanned the crowd and settled upon Panther. “Panth, you can also sense the pillars. Your nose is keen and you can even get a general gist of what the great dao involved is. Lead Senior Dao Chess and the rest to the correct pillars!
“Seniors Fog Mountain and Thunder master, please defuse the threat posed by the pillars for me and negate their suppression. Brother Void, I’ll have to ask you to supply some power of revitalization for the separated parts of my body, so that they’re not completely decimated by the thunder and lightning!”
The young man then looked at the cat. “Number Two, you and the Exalted Blood Emperor will be put to work more. Please wield time for me and corral the thunder pillars with the dao of time!”
This particular person and cat both had some ties to time. Perhaps they were the only ones who could manipulate it to summon the pillars’ dao, using Li Hao as a catalyst. That would enable him to fully comprehend that dao!
It would also help him identify just what the commonalities between these great daos were. Who else could enjoy such treatment, if not him?
Two eighth ranks and multiple seventh ranks were servicing him. There was also a former ninth rank imperial weapon and the dao star of time helping out. This kind of opportunity could only be dreamed about!
In that case, why not give it a try?
Various exalted emperors looked on with solemn expressions. Would this be worth it?
They didn’t know.
Li Hao wished to explore a new dao and probe into the core nature of dao. He wasn’t even doing so to grow stronger. He just wanted to take a look around and assumed untold risk for that interest!
Even the Exalted Blood Emperor fell silent in this moment.
Li Hao, King of Silver Moon, a New Martial junior!
He was starting to admire the young man, but also didn’t like him very much. It was a complicated mix of emotions. Perhaps I like Fang Ping a bit more, not because I met him earlier, but because Li Hao really is a bit too merciless in his pursuit of great dao!
The Human King was human, so he was the king of humans. Li Hao... seemed more like a dao master.
He didn’t seek the great dao to strengthen himself or eliminate strong foes. He didn’t do so for any reason other than to see with his own eyes what the future and true meaning of this dao was. Therefore, he went to the depths of taking a risk in this incredibly dangerous Thunder Region. He wished to carve himself into pieces to comprehend dao!
Many would not dare take this risk and could not take it. Those who would advise Li Hao otherwise had already been left behind. Who among those present had the confidence of changing the young man’s mind?
“I’m fine with it and can revitalize wherever you need me...” Void finally said. “But... how long will you need this to last?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps a short while, perhaps a long time. I just want to see for myself and truly sense it...” Li Hao laughed. “Thunder Region is a nice place. It’s quiet and safe here. The tribulations are the greatest enemy, but with the Thunder master and Senior Fog Mountain here, we suddenly find ourselves with some breathing space.”
“......” A place that everyone viewed as hell was a safe house to Li Hao. freёwebnovel.com
This kid is... really weird.
“The method of arrangement between spatial dao and thunder tribulations might not be the same,” the dao chess was compelled to say. “Once an error is committed...”
“There are bound to be differences, that’s why I’m sending the senior with Panther. If there are minute differences, you can have Panth detect them.
“Panth!”
The dog had hung its head with ejection and didn’t make a sound. It was afraid of making a mistake. What would happen if it made the wrong match?
Would part of Li Hao’s body become nutrition for the thunder pillar? Would the effect spread to the entire body?
Li Hao didn’t say anything because he didn’t know either.
“Then... let us give it a try!” said the quiet Exalted Blood Emperor. “Since little friend Li Hao is so inclined... then we can only satisfy his request.Number Two, you’re with me. We will wield time and cover Thunder Region with it!”
The cat flicked its tail and looked at Li Hao, suddenly saying, “The one who taught liked to conduct experiments like these when he was alive. You’re rather like him in this regard. Don’t worry, you won’t die. If you really do, we’ll try to revive you through reversing time...”
Li Hao grinned. Are you cursing me, cat?
He said nothing else and decided to try another new thing. He disassembled himself, not in a way that reduced him to a gory mess, but prompting miniature Li Haos to walk out from him. Each mini Li Hao held a world.
The young man was so accustomed to dismantling worlds and dao nets that he could do so even for himself. Each of these Li Haos were very small. They held their worlds like they were carrying the weight of a universe on their backs. Some held the world aloft, some hugged their world, some dragged their world behind them...
Some were fiercely proud, others were wooden and unexpressive. Some looked around with a shifty gaze, others were domineering. And some plainly had a bad temper...
These were all the different kinds of dao, people, and Li Hao.
Such were the various forms of life and great dao. Each dao was tied to a different personality and attribute.
The dao chess took the form of a chessboard and manifested 9,999 squares. Each of the Li Haos found their respective square walking into them.
“Locating the relevant thunder pillar will also be a problem.” Li Hao’s voice rang, as if one thousand people were speaking in unison. “I will leave this in the hands of everyone and will not seek them out myself.
“In addition, we might tempt a visit from other powerhouses if the disturbance is too great. It’s one thing if they do not approach a thunder pillar. But if they do, I’ll have to ask you guys to keep a sharp eye out!”
“Cease existing with peace of mind!” Void said with half an eye roll. “How can someone in one thousand pieces still talk so much?”
“......” One thousand Li Haos laughed in a merry chorus. “Now that just sounds wrong!”
The dao chess soared through the void and left, off to find the appropriate pillars. This was a slow and painstaking task. No one had ever tried to do so before. In their eyes, all thunder pillars were the same. The closer one was in proximity to a pillar, the more dangerous!
One square of the chessboard soon descended near a thunder pillar. Sensing that life had approached it, thunder and lightning quickly roared in response.
Two eighths ranks immediately defused it, but it wasn’t easy going. They had to dig a hole and bury Li Hao after dispersing the tribulation. What was meant by digging holes was to break part of the pillar and bury that Li Hao inside it.
This was not a task that ordinary exalted emperors could complete!
......
Thunder and lightning rampaged nonstop through the Thunder Region on this day!
Immense tribulation force covered the region, as if once more provoked and enraged. It’d been quiet for many years and travelers usually darted in and out of it. Who dared linger in such a locale?
But today, upheaval continued without stop. Thunderbolts snarled in all directions like they’d gone mad.
......
The outer regions.
Many exalted emperors were observing Thunder Region. It’d quieted down lately, as had the war of the four regions. Thus, many wanted to head inside for a look.
Apparently there’d been a war involving more than one hundred seventh ranks in the four regions! That was a massive campaign that had never been seen in the outer regions!
Powerhouses hovered around the perimeter of Thunder Region. There were eighth ranks, seventh ranks, and spies from some major factions. There was even a representative from the famed ninth rank!
