Chapter 1206: Chapter 259: Innate Sword Immortal Physique

The sword’s might rushed forward, like an Emperor’s sword hilt standing tall. Li Hao glanced at the very top center, where it seemed the Emperor’s eyes were staring down at him.

However, this Emperor’s Might was much inferior to the grandeur of the Heavenly Calamity Emperor Palace.

The former chief disciple of Sword Abyss, who once cleaved mountains, just barely unleashed a hint of Emperor Sword’s might upon first entering the Immortal King Realm with full power.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze after a glance. Despite the many names on Emperor Sword Cliff, he was uninterested in joining the crowd.

Indeed, if he wanted to leave his name, he might as well carve a wall by himself.

Returning to the courtyard atop the mountain, Qi Meng’an hurriedly greeted Li Hao upon learning he was back and informed him of Yue Xi Fairy leaving her name at Emperor Sword Cliff.

The manager held subtle thoughts of inspiring Li Hao, having never seen such a relaxed swordsman.

After listening, Li Hao recalled that while passing by, he had forgotten to pay attention below, yet it’s just a minor affair. He nodded, instructed Manager Qi to send his congratulations, and headed to the sword arena within the courtyard, opening the barrier there. Only he and Xiyan, holding the sword token, could enter.

This breakthrough in fishing state of mind granted him the greatest insight into the Time Origin Path rather than Sword Dao.

In the Nine Orders, space-time reigns as king.

Previously, painting aided his understanding of the Space Origin Path, while now fishing allowed him to comprehend the passing and vastness of time, enabling him to fish out and take hold of years from the long river of time.

He had previously condensed the Nine Flower Immortal Seal, with five original Daos coming from the Nine Orders. Now, Li Hao plans to replace one of the other four with the Time Origin Path!

The Immortal Seal holds nine flowers at its peak. Li Hao attempted to meld the Time Origin Path into it, yet found it impossible, forcing him to choose one to replace.

Among the remaining four, Li Hao contemplated and selected the Immortal’s guidance from the Great Dream Nine Abysses’ sword technique. Although the origin of this Dao is exquisite, it is merely a branch of Sword Dao origin, consolidated into one flower by sheer effort.

Under the barrier’s shroud, Li Hao began his seclusion, replacing and condensing the new Nine Flower Immortal Seal.

With the infusion of the Time Origin Path, Li Hao’s Nine Flower Immortal Seal suddenly emitted a collapsing suction, quickly drawing in the surrounding world’s immortal power.

All the immortal power in the courtyard gravitated toward the sword arena, but it was still far from sufficient, forcing Li Hao to wield the power of All Heavens Star Vein End Realm.

This time, starlight from All Heavens emerged around him–real stars from the True Realm, casting vast immortal power projections continually pouring into Li Hao’s body.

During Li Hao’s cultivation, Qi Meng’an noticed the peculiar flow of immortal power within the courtyard, and upon finding it converging in the sword arena, sighed in relief, a smile gracing his lips.

It appears Yue Xi Fairy’s progress had indeed spurred his young lord somewhat…

With the new Nine Flower Immortal Seal condensed, the flowers of Time Origin and Space Origin seemed to unite on the Seal, together weaving a complex, exquisite Dao pattern, subtly twisting the surrounding space-time with its power.

These two patterns rested at the very bottom of the Immortal Seal, like branches sprouting leaves, lifting the other Immortal Tao patterns.

As Li Hao gently received the Immortal Seal within him, he immediately felt the integration of space-time power with himself. Every move seemed to allow him to easily manipulate the surrounding space-time, an origin-level control surpassing immortal power, toyed with any opposition even if their immortal power was tenfold, multiples, or a hundredfold stronger.

The first year upon arriving at Sword Abyss concluded.

This year, Li Hao’s Nine Flower Immortal Seal incorporated Time Origin Path with three-layered Dao patterns.

Sword Dao, too, smoothly ascended to the eleventh rank.

And both his chess skills and painting techniques saw subtle insight and progress.

Toward year’s end, snow fell from the sky, blanketing ten thousand miles in white.

Sword Abyss’s slopes and lofts shimmered under a silver veil.

Amidst the snowfall, Li Tie Mu returned to the mountain summit, bringing along a remarkably handsome young boy.

“This is your new junior apprentice, Gu Yan!”

Li Tie Mu summoned Wei Hongye, Li Hao, and others before the Sword Immortal Pavilion, formally introducing the boy’s identity to everyone.

The boy, seemingly akin in appearance to Li Hao, appeared to be seventeen or eighteen years old, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, holding doubly different irises; the upper pupil edge burning like crimson fire, the lower silvery white, distinctly wondrous.

Such unique eyes signified an extraordinary Taoist Body.

“Gu Yan, the surname Gu?”

Hearing his introduction, Wei Hongye’s face slightly shifted, as if recalling an ancient legend.

Li Tie Mu, aware of the considerable backgrounds of his disciples, knowledge, and insight no less uncommon, did not conceal, declaring: “Indeed, he belongs to the Ancient Immortal Lineage, Ancient Clan, born with a Sword Immortal physique!”

Upon hearing him, Li Hao and Xu Jianming exchanged puzzled glances, evidently unfamiliar.

However, Wei Hongye and Yue Xi’s pupils contracted, their gazes struck with astonishment toward the boy.

Within the True Realm, the Ancient Immortal Lineage is exceedingly rare, a pinnacle race nearing extinction.

It was said that members of the Ancient Immortal Lineage naturally possessed various mystical abilities, and this boy bore the legendary Sword Immortal physique, reputed the strongest Taoist body for practicing swords!

Yue Xi, shaken, gazed at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.

The boy named Gu Yan maintained a composed expression, almost numbed, merely listening to Li Tie Mu’s introduction silently, neither speaking nor surveying with his gaze, only slightly raising his head, staring at the loft behind Li Tie Mu.

Observing Li Hao and Xu Jianming’s awestruck demeanor, Li Tie Mu held a cheerful mood, smilingly explaining:
