"How could you be here?!"
The Ancient Demon Commander, seeing the red-tasseled spear woman, was incredibly shocked. He immediately realized that something must have gone terribly wrong on the front lines, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to directly break through to this place.
He had urgently mobilized his subordinates earlier, only to find a major problem. Years of ease had made him underestimate this attack, never expecting it to lead to such a disaster.
Boom!
As the red-tasseled spear woman made her move, her spear seemed to overturn rivers and seas, shattering the void and unleashing terrifying power.
Li Hao had long noticed that the world pressure in this True World was extremely strong. In the Lands of Saints, he could easily split the void with a single sword strike, but here he couldn't. Even with all his strength, he could only cause a slight spatial distortion.
Yet, the power displayed by this red-tasseled spear woman felt unrestrained, as if she were completely unfettered by the heavens and earth.
Bang!
With a spear flash piercing through, one of the Ancient Demon Commander's wings was punctured. But at the same time, it roared and counter-attacked.
Both were at the True Lord level, and neither had army reinforcements. It didn't believe it would lose.
"Silence of Life!"
A power of the Law of the Origin of Life appeared. The Ancient Demon Commander's domain unfolded. As its wing was injured, a bloody light shot out from the domain, transforming into a ferocious skull-shaped blood head, trying to devour the red-tasseled spear woman.
The red-tasseled spear woman also unfolded her domain. Within her domain, countless spear shadows stood tall, along with illusory scenes of towering, solitary peaks. But upon closer inspection, they were all enormous spears, as thick as pillars reaching the sky.
The spears in her domain suddenly vibrated. As she attacked, they shot out, instantly shattering the skull-shaped blood head. Then, wielding her spear, she charged into the Ancient Demon Commander's domain.
Whoosh!
Her spear abruptly thrust out, seeming to ignite a streak of scarlet blood light.
The Ancient Demon Commander's domain law was distorted, seemingly losing its effectiveness. The spear suddenly pierced through its chest,钉ing it to the rock wall of the canyon beside them.
The Ancient Demon Commander clearly hadn't expected this strike to be so terrifying. It seemed to be some kind of extremely powerful spear technique, and furthermore, the immortal energy within the opponent's body was far stronger than his own.
Boom!
Black mist erupted from the Ancient Demon Commander's body. Suddenly, it turned scarlet red. Deep anger flashed in its eyes as it abruptly unleashed a nearly imperceptible wave.
The wave was like a moon blade, suddenly slashing out with unbelievable speed.
However, the red-tasseled spear woman seemed to have anticipated this. Her figure suddenly swayed, appearing on the other side like a ghost. Then, she attacked again.
"Soul Sucking!"
The Ancient Demon Commander roared in shock and anger, no longer daring to let her get close. This human's close combat ability was too terrifying.
As a ring of grey light vibrated outwards, its innate power erupted, first affecting the middle-aged general in its grasp.
The red-tasseled spear woman's eyes turned cold. Abruptly, with incredibly swift and ghostly movements, she closed in and swept her spear horizontally, severing its arm and helping the middle-aged general break free. But she herself was unable to defend against this attack in time.
However, as the grey wave impacted her, the scarlet battle armor on her body suddenly ignited with blood flames, incinerating and nullifying the attack.
The Ancient Demon Commander's pupils slightly contracted, realizing something was amiss.
Many rumors from the outside seemed to be true. He had stayed here for too long and had become out of touch. But now he realized that the humans of this True World had actually figured out how to create armor and weapons to resist their Ancient Demons.
As the scarlet battle armor was activated, the red-tasseled spear woman withstood the attack forcefully. Casually tossing the middle-aged general aside, she then went all out to attack her opponent.
Her hair flew up, and surprisingly, rapidly turned silver.
This appearance was all too familiar to Li Hao. It was the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm!
This was the first time on this journey that Li Hao had seen someone else use the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, and he was quite shocked.
Besides the Immortal Transformation Extreme Realm, the red-tasseled spear woman also unleashed other Extreme Realm powers. The Great Dao surrounded her, and Li Hao could tell that she seemed to have also cultivated the Listening to Dao Extreme Realm, impervious to all Daos.
With the Extreme Realms revealed, the red-tasseled spear woman's power became even greater. She continuously thrust her spear at the Ancient Demon Commander, leaving hole after hole on its body, yet the wounds could not heal.
The Ancient Demon Commander roared in shock and fury. In the same realm, it was actually being suppressed by a human. Only the top geniuses among humans could achieve this.
It suddenly turned around, fighting as it retreated.
The red-tasseled spear woman's expression suddenly turned cold. Her Dharma Image manifested, and the spear in her hand suddenly emitted a peculiar law aura.
"Life and Death!"
The red-tasseled spear woman instantly thrust her spear, piercing through the Ancient Demon Commander's domain.
The Ancient Demon Commander discovered that its domain was unable to resist. The opponent's immortal law power was superior to its own, distorting and destroying its laws.
Bang, this spear pierced through its head.
But this was not a fatal wound. At the instant her spear pierced its head, the Ancient Demon Commander also unleashed its most powerful hidden move, the innate talent of the Ancient Demon race – Soul Harvest!
A pitch-black blade of light suddenly shot out from its primordial spirit, arriving in an instant, cleaving into the red-tasseled spear woman.
The scarlet battle armor on the red-tasseled spear woman burned with blood flames, but was cleaved open by the black blade, directly piercing into her flesh.
With a muffled groan, the red-tasseled spear woman's face paled slightly. The cold killing intent in her eyes was momentarily replaced by confusion, but she quickly regained clarity. Then, the immortal energy around her body transformed into silver-white flames, and she abruptly thrust her spear out in furious rage.
Bang!
The Ancient Demon Commander's body was torn apart. Countless spear lights exploded, shredding its physical body into pieces of minced meat.
From within the minced meat, a black illusory shadow emerged – the Ancient Demon Commander's primordial spirit. It furiously pounced towards the red-tasseled spear woman, wanting to annihilate her primordial spirit and seize her physical body.
But the red-tasseled spear woman seemed to have anticipated this. With a raise of her hand, she summoned an immortal talisman and slammed it onto the black shadow like lightning.
Along with blazing thunder light, the Ancient Demon Commander's primordial spirit let out a miserable shriek. Dense tribulation power enveloped it, continuously scorching its primordial spirit.
At the same time, spear shadows pierced out, quickly shattering its primordial spirit into pieces.
In just a few short minutes, this Ancient Demon Commander was actually killed by this red-tasseled spear woman.
Li Hao and the middle-aged general were both stunned. Then, they simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief, feeling surprised and excited.
However, after annihilating and killing the Ancient Demon Commander's primordial spirit, a hint of paleness flashed across the red-tasseled spear woman's face. This battle was extremely quick, but only she herself knew that it was not as simple as it looked. She had used a secret technique passed down by her sect, stimulating several times her normal immortal power, only then could she easily tear apart the opponent's domain.
Otherwise, in the same realm, this Ancient Demon would never have been defeated so easily.
Her master was right. These Ancient Demon Commanders all possessed terrifying primordial spirit attacks. Fortunately, she had come fully prepared.
"Are you an old soldier who survived the Emperor Demise War back then?"
The red-tasseled spear woman quickly stabilized her internal energy. Her expression returned to cold indifference as she looked at the middle-aged general, a trace of peace in her eyes.
She held immense respect for the soldiers from that war.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged general roughly understood which war she was referring to. He hadn't expected the outside world to give that war such a name, the Emperor Demise War. It was indeed fitting, as even several Immortal Emperors whose names he had heard of had fallen...
His thoughts drifted slightly, feeling a bit sorrowful, but he quickly regained his senses and nodded to the red-tasseled spear woman, "That's right."
The red-tasseled spear woman nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Li Hao, her brow furrowing slightly. "And you?"
Just a Saint-level cultivator. She didn't believe he could have survived that war, and even if he had somehow managed to survive, a Saint-level cultivator wouldn't have such a long lifespan, especially in this environment.
After all, the Emperor Demise War was truly too ancient.
Countless years, too far removed from the present.
"I am not."
Li Hao shook his head.
"I know you're not. Then why are you here?"
The red-tasseled spear woman was somewhat speechless and frowned as she asked.
At the same time, her domain spread out, scanning the surroundings.
The middle-aged general quickly said, "He came from the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor's pseudo-world. He might be a descendant of the Immortal Emperor."
Li Hao knew that he was saying this intentionally to give him some prestige, hoping to make the red-tasseled spear woman take him seriously, perhaps even gain some benefits.
Hearing his words, the red-tasseled spear woman's eyes indeed slightly narrowed, falling on Li Hao and scrutinizing him carefully.
Soon, she noticed something unusual. This Saint-level cultivator had actually cultivated eight Extreme Realms just like her!
Even the most difficult Immortal Transformation and Dao Ancestor Extreme Realms were cultivated. This talent was quite rare.
Moreover, she also saw that Li Hao's lifespan aura was full of fresh vitality, only about sixty years old.
Calculated this way, he was already a top-tier evildoer.
Her expression softened a bit, and she already believed what the middle-aged general had said. Aside from the descendants of Immortal Emperor bloodlines, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to reach this level.
She hadn't expected that the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor would still have bloodline descendants left behind.
Although it was an extremely ancient era, the name of an Immortal Emperor suppressed an era. Even though they had fallen countless years ago, countless legends about Immortal Emperors still remained, and she was naturally familiar with them.
"The Gate of the Mysterious Female, there's actually a crack in it. Did you come out from there?"
The red-tasseled spear woman's eyes flickered as she noticed the door at the end of the canyon, a glint of light in her eyes.
She was ordered to come here not only to clear out the Ancient Demons here, but also to explore the Immortal Emperor's legacy here.
She hadn't expected to actually find a pseudo-world left behind by an Immortal Emperor.
That was a world created by an Immortal Emperor! It was hard to say whether there were any treasures left behind by the Immortal Emperor inside.
"Mm."
Li Hao nodded.
The red-tasseled spear woman's gaze fell on Li Hao, "In that Immortal Emperor pseudo-world, how many existences like you are there?"
She asked this to assess the situation of the Immortal Emperor's treasures left in this pseudo-world.
Li Hao asked, "What aspect are you referring to, Senior?"
"Cultivation, talent, strength."
The red-tasseled spear woman said extremely concisely.
"Not many, maybe at most two or three people."
Li Hao said modestly and conservatively.
The red-tasseled spear woman's eyes flickered slightly. So few in number? It seemed that the things left behind inside were not as abundant as she had guessed.
But that was also understandable. It was said that the Emperor Demise War back then was extremely tragic. Many forces had poured everything they had into that battle, leaving no room to spare.
"Wait a moment."
Her figure flickered and disappeared from the canyon entrance, appearing in front of the Gate of the Mysterious Female.
She examined this world gate, raised her hand and gently touched it. She instantly felt a Heavenly Dao Law enveloping it, making it impossible to force entry.
"Protection for his descendants..."
The red-tasseled spear woman's eyes flickered, then she turned back to Li Hao and the middle-aged general.
"I detected abnormalities in the Ancient Demon situation here, so I rushed in first, intending to launch a surprise attack. Now, I need to return to reinforce the main army."
The red-tasseled spear woman said to Li Hao and the middle-aged general, "You two follow me. There are other Ancient Demon Commanders around here. This cleanup might not be able to eliminate them all at once. You should leave with me first, otherwise, if other Ancient Demons come later, it will be disadvantageous for you."
Hearing that he could finally leave this place, joy and excitement appeared in the middle-aged general's eyes, and his eyes even became a little moist.
He hurriedly followed, but found that Li Hao's aura hadn't moved.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look, seeing Li Hao just standing in place.
"Brother."
The middle-aged general was slightly stunned. From Li Hao's expression, he seemed to discern something.
The red-tasseled spear woman also frowned, gazing at Li Hao. She had seen the middle-aged general's excitement, and felt a little emotional in her heart as well.
But Li Hao's calmness surprised her.
"Senior, if we leave here, when will we be able to return?"
Li Hao asked.
He hadn't forgotten what the middle-aged general had said. If one cultivated to become a True Immortal, they would no longer be able to return to the Lands of Saints, unless they asked a strong expert to unlock the Gate of the Mysterious Female, or cultivated to extremely powerful strength themselves.
"Are you reluctant to leave?"
The red-tasseled spear woman was a bit surprised. To be able to step into the True World was a dream come true for countless people who had ascended from pseudo-worlds. She hadn't expected this person to be reluctant to leave the pseudo-world.
"With an Immortal Emperor pseudo-world legacy here, once I report it, we will definitely dispatch a large army to suppress it again. But I cannot guarantee the specific date. Perhaps we will return immediately, or perhaps in a few decades."
The red-tasseled spear woman said.
After all, based on Li Hao's description, the Immortal Emperor legacy had only nurtured two or three evildoers like Li Hao, indicating that the conditions weren't good. She would report this situation truthfully as well.
Hearing this, Li Hao immediately understood what could attract the other party.
He suddenly regretted saying too few earlier. If he had said there were many, perhaps the upper echelons behind her would immediately send people over to liberate the Lands of Saints.
However, at that time, his lie would probably be held against him.
"In that case, I will wait for you here."
Li Hao said. Although he also yearned for the True World, wanting to see its vastness, compared to this unfamiliar place, he cared more about his friends in the Lands of Saints and his acquaintances in the human realm.
Ren Qianqian, Emperor Yu, Old Feng, Sword Master, and others.
Moreover, his cultivation method was different from ordinary people, so the loss wouldn't be too great.
A Saint-level cultivator in the True World might be very dangerous, but in the Lands of Saints, with his current strength, he was absolutely safe.
"Brother, you..."
The middle-aged general was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected Li Hao, who had fought alongside him for three years, to choose to stay here, in this place he had been for countless years and long since grown weary of.
He fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, he seemed to understand that Li Hao had been fighting alongside him here purely to accompany him, to help him break out of this ancient road battlefield.
His expression was complicated as he said to Li Hao, "Brother, after three years of being together, I haven't even told you my name yet. My name is Nangong Jian. Next time we meet, I will protect you!"
Hearing this, Li Hao smiled. In these three years, neither of them had asked the other's name, but they had fought side by side many times, already becoming sincere friends.
"No problem."
Li Hao replied with a smile.
"And you?"
Nangong Jian asked.
"Hao Tian."
Li Hao said.
"Okay, I'll remember it."
Nangong Jian silently memorized the name in his heart, then took a deep look at Li Hao.
"Are you sure you want to stay? The war outside is also tense right now. In the worst-case scenario, it might be a long time before we can free up combat power to completely clear this place out."
The red-tasseled spear woman said seriously to Li Hao.
She knew that a pseudo-world, after countless years, had only nurtured two or three existences like Li Hao, most likely it was extremely barren.
They had found other Immortal Emperor pseudo-worlds before, some of which were already desolate, with not even a few Saint-level existences, and the cultivation system was also extremely rudimentary.
"Mm, I can wait."
Li Hao said.
Even in the True World, his cultivation speed wouldn't increase much. Instead, he would face various dangers. It was better to huddle in the Lands of Saints and properly refine his various skills and techniques.
If he could cultivate all seven skills he currently mastered to the tenth level, it would definitely be a huge boost.
And in the Lands of Saints, no one could threaten him anymore.
Seeing that Li Hao was truly unmoved, the red-tasseled spear woman shook her head slightly, thinking that perhaps Li Hao was unwilling to leave because he was a descendant of the Immortal Emperor, and had a special emotional connection to his ancestor's pseudo-world.
She didn't try to persuade him further, only saying, "I will annihilate all of this Ancient Demon's army, and then send people to guard this Gate of the Mysterious Female, to prevent it from being attacked and weakened by some Ancient Demons. The battlefield vacancy here may soon be occupied by other Ancient Demons. You should return to the Immortal Emperor's pseudo-world as soon as possible."
She still didn't want to see anything happen to this Immortal Emperor bloodline.
Saying this, she gave Nangong Jian a look and was about to turn and leave.
"Brother, wait for me."
Nangong Jian said seriously to Li Hao.
He was already at the True Immortal bottleneck, and he believed that after returning to the outside world, he would soon break through to become a True Lord. By then, he could personally come to rescue Li Hao.
Before leaving, Nangong Jian came to the bronze chariot and took out all the neatly stacked skeletons inside.
"Brothers, I'm here to send you home!"
Nangong Jian looked at these skeletons, his eyes moist, his emotions a little agitated.
The red-tasseled spear woman's expression changed slightly when she saw so many white bones. Although she was eager to rush back, she remained silent and didn't urge Nangong Jian, watching him carefully collect these bones into his spatial storage.
"Let's go."
Nangong Jian stored the bones, leaving the bronze chariot behind, and said to the red-tasseled spear woman.
Then, he turned and looked at Li Hao one last time.
Li Hao waved goodbye to him.
Soon, Nangong Jian and the red-tasseled spear woman's figures disappeared from Li Hao's sight in the blink of an eye.
Before leaving, Nangong Jian glanced at the Ancient Demon Commander's minced meat and gave Li Hao a wink. He hadn't revealed Li Hao's ability to cook Ancient Demons, keeping a card up his sleeve.
He knew how astonishing this ability was. If it was exposed, if Li Hao had a powerful force behind him, it would be good, he would become highly sought after. But if he had no powerful force behind him, he might become a puppet to be exploited!
After they left, the place suddenly seemed a bit desolate.
Li Hao looked at the silent earth and the gloomy sky. This was the scenery Nangong Jian had experienced for countless years.
He sighed softly, came to the Ancient Demon Commander's minced meat, and collected all the minced meat into his spatial storage.
This Ancient Demon minced meat contained waves of primordial spirit power. Although it was already dead, Li Hao could feel an extremely vigorous power within it.
With his current cooking ability, he might not be able to cook and prepare it yet.
Li Hao had tried to stab the minced meat with the damaged immortal weapon in his hand, but found it was like stabbing a wooden sword into a boulder, unable to even leave a scratch.
At this point, Li Hao also sensed the red-tasseled spear woman's terror. She was actually able to kill this Ancient Demon Commander in just a few minutes.
After collecting these meat pieces, temporarily putting them into his spatial storage, Li Hao didn't listen to the red-tasseled spear woman's words to immediately return to the Gate of the Mysterious Female. Instead, he drove the bronze chariot into the canyon and stayed in front of the Gate of the Mysterious Female.
He prepared to wait here until the person sent by the other party to guard this place arrived before leaving. If there were any stray Ancient Demons that came to damage the Gate of the Mysterious Female, he could also kill them.
This door had stood for countless years, and Nangong Jian had also played a role in it, preventing some Ancient Demon incursions outside the canyon.
Otherwise, with the Ancient Demons' continuous attacks and attrition, this Gate of the Mysterious Female would soon lose its effect.
He stayed not far from the Gate of the Mysterious Female. If an Ancient Demon Commander arrived, he could also return to the Lands of Saints in time.
To this end, Li Hao buried hidden threads.
His thread-laying skills were becoming more and more refined. Li Hao had spent a lot of effort researching them. These hidden threads couldn't cause any damage to Ancient Demon Commanders, but they might serve as a warning for himself.
Time flew by.
After the red-tasseled spear woman took Nangong Jian away, everything outside the canyon was calm and peaceful, and no other Ancient Demons arrived.
With the Ancient Demon Commander fallen, this ancient road might have also been temporarily cleared out.
Li Hao projected his avatar, quietly sneaking out of the canyon to explore the Ancient Demon territory. He found that in those Ancient Demon territories that he and Nangong Jian hadn't yet eliminated, everything was also dead silent, with Ancient Demon corpses strewn everywhere.
Presumably, they had all been killed by the red-tasseled spear woman before she left.
With so many Ancient Demon corpses, Li Hao was overjoyed and used his avatar to transport them back.
So, he cooked and ate outside the Gate of the Mysterious Female, eating and drinking every day. When he was free, he would bury hidden threads and play with carvings.
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
Li Hao still hadn't waited for the person the red-tasseled spear woman sent to take over guarding the place. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. The other party had cleared the ancient road. In principle, they should send someone to guard it soon, but now months had passed, and no one had been seen. Could it be that something unexpected had happened when they left?
Li Hao couldn't help but worry about Nangong Jian's situation, but being here, besides worrying blindly, he couldn't do anything else. He had no choice but to shift his focus to other things.
In the past half a year, Li Hao had eaten nearly two hundred Ancient Demons by himself. His primordial spirit power had become stronger, and the immortal energy accumulated in his body had become even more profound.
In Extreme Immortal Transformation, when this immortal power was released, converting into heaven and earth energy, Li Hao felt that he could easily suppress and kill third-order Ancient Demons. Even without relying on the primordial spirit and damaged weapon, just by pouring this power into the Eternal Dao Domain, he could directly suppress and kill them alive with his Dao Domain.
Time was long, and Li Hao waited for another half a year, condensing more than a hundred golden meridians in his body.
Li Hao estimated that if he ate for another two years, he would be able to condense the third divine bone for his primordial spirit.
And there were still many Ancient Demon corpses in his hand. If he ate them all, Li Hao felt that he could at least condense the fourth divine bone, and perhaps even the fifth was possible.
Each divine bone made Li Hao's primordial spirit power skyrocket, almost doubling in power.
Combined with the Immortal Object Manipulation technique Nangong Jian had taught him, his object manipulation speed was now unbelievably fast, even faster than the Returning Ruins Extreme Realm!
Within the same realm, he could suppress and kill with a single thought.
After living alone in this place for a year, Li Hao had already begun to miss the Lands of Saints, wanting to return. But the person the red-tasseled spear woman said she would send to guard this place was nowhere to be seen.
Li Hao became a little irritated. Intuition told him that something had happened to the other party.
Clang!
One day, while Li Hao was having a meal, he suddenly sensed a hidden thread disappear. There was some kind of power fluctuation that had broken the hidden thread.
His eyes narrowed. He put away the freshly prepared delicacy and moved closer to the Gate of the Mysterious Female, concealing his aura and quietly releasing his divine sense to carefully observe.
Along with a whistling sound, the trace of an Ancient Demon suddenly appeared above the canyon.
This Ancient Demon was hundreds of feet tall, a third-order Ancient Demon.
Li Hao's expression changed slightly. He hid behind a boulder, not revealing himself.
But this Ancient Demon seemed to see the Gate of the Mysterious Female and immediately let out a joyous low roar, swooping down.
Soon, it landed in front of the Gate of the Mysterious Female.
Its gaze immediately noticed the gap in the patterns, causing it to become excited.
It immediately stepped forward, wanting to try and enter through the gap to investigate.
Just then, a sharp, cold light suddenly attacked.
This Ancient Demon immediately reacted, screaming in shock, but the sound stopped abruptly as soon as it started.
The damaged weapon's speed was too fast, instantly killing its physical body, followed by primordial spirit suppression, directly crushing its primordial spirit.
Third-order Ancient Demons were already existences that Li Hao could easily slaughter.
"Damn it, did it wander over from somewhere else? Could it be that the war outside has calmed down?"
Li Hao walked out from behind the boulder, his expression a little gloomy. The Ancient Demon territories before had all been dead silent. This Ancient Demon could only be from outside.
And the fact that it would wander here, instead of rushing to the front lines, seemed to indicate that the war in front might not need it anymore, that it had calmed down.
"This gap, second-order Ancient Demons cannot enter, but third-order Ancient Demons can sneak in. Before, it was all thanks to Nangong Jian guarding outside the canyon. Now that he's gone, and that female general hasn't sent anyone over, Ancient Demons might come here at any time and sneak in through this gap."
Li Hao frowned tightly. He already wanted to go back, tired of waiting for the person the other party said they would send to guard the place. He felt a bit bored here.
He wanted to go back to fishing and playing chess with people, but now, if he went back, with this gap open here, once a third-order Ancient Demon came and entered the pseudo-world, it would inevitably bring disaster.
Especially if they spread the news of this place, if the Ancient Demons sent hundreds of third-order Ancient Demons to invade, it would be an unimaginable disaster for the Lands of Saints!
Li Hao sat back down in his previous spot, frowning, thinking about these things. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he still quickly took out the freshly prepared delicacy. Good food must not be wasted.
After eating, Li Hao's mood improved a little. He stared at the gap, his mind racing, and began to study the patterns on it.
The best solution was to repair this gap.
But wanting to repair it would probably be no less difficult than becoming a True Immortal.
After all, this Gate of the Mysterious Female was the work of an Immortal Emperor. Everything on it was constructed by an Immortal Emperor. Although countless years had passed, and it had been severely worn down, the fact that it could stand until now was enough to show that it was not simple.
Time flew by.
In the days that followed, besides eating and drinking, Li Hao studied the patterns on the Gate of the Mysterious Female. When he was tired of studying, he would carve to relax.
Now, his carving had vaguely touched upon the ninth-level heart realm. The things he carved contained an extraordinary artistic conception.
