Follow the path of Dao from infancy-Chapter 836 - 170: The Battle Begins, He Has Arrived! _3
Chapter 836: Chapter 170: The Battle Begins, He Has Arrived! _3
The atmosphere relaxed and became cheerful again. Upon hearing Li Hao say this, Jiang Ziyan also realized that it was superfluous for her to strenuously probe into such matters.
After some casual conversation, another visitor came.
Li Hao sent his Divine Thought sweeping out, realizing it was an acquaintance, and immediately asked the attendants to invite them in.
“Brother Haotian.”
The visitors were disciples of Master Qin, Bright Moon Sword and Pure Zi.
They also apprenticed at the Primordial Holy Land, with Bright Moon Sword here to compete, while Pure Zi, who regrettably missed the selection, accompanied to watch the battles.
Bright Moon Sword possesses a Taoist Body with a Dao Heart, which makes him prone to sudden insights during bottlenecks, thereby advancing his cultivation rapidly. After apprenticing under a Saint, he received abundant resources and rare treasures, which tempered his physical body and enhanced his cultivation in the Extreme Realm, making his progress comparable to Ji, albeit slightly inferior overall.
Seeing fellow disciples like Ji and Jiang Ziyan already present, both Bright Moon Sword and Pure Zi were slightly stunned, and quickly realized that compared to these elder brothers and sisters, they were much slower.
Bright Moon Sword, two years younger than Li Hao, is now 26 but looks only about eighteen or nineteen. With bright eyes, white teeth, and a tender complexion, he bears a somewhat feminine appearance, making it difficult to distinguish his gender.
His gaze pure, he still appeared as when he first met Li Hao in the Daoist Palace, with a hint of timidity and shyness, and said:
“Bright Moon Sword greets Brother Haotian.”
“We’re all peers, no need for formalities.”
Li Hao smiled and gestured for him to take a seat at the table.
Bright Moon Sword’s face flushed slightly as he said: “My master said that although you’re not his disciple, he wants us to treat you as we would him.”
Li Hao was startled, slightly helpless, he said: “You’ve been here for ten years and still remember your master’s words.”

“A master for a day is a father for life; I dare not forget.”
Bright Moon Sword’s cheeks turned serious as he spoke.
Li Hao, hearing this, laughed and said: “Well said, that deserves a drink!”
As the cup of wine was offered, Bright Moon Sword’s face turned nervous again: “Master also said that drinking harms the body, I don’t drink alcohol…”
“…”
Li Hao, dumbfounded, burst into laughter, not forcing him, and said: “Let’s toast with tea instead.”
Bright Moon Sword breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and raised his tea cup to clink with Li Hao.
As more people arrived, the courtyard became even livelier.
However, not long after the arrival of Bright Moon Sword and Pure Zi, another visitor appeared.
Li Hao’s Divine Thought swept out, realizing it was still an acquaintance.
He couldn’t help but laugh, asking the attendants to quickly invite them in.
This time, the visitors were from the Sword Ancestor Holy Land, Lin Qingyue along with her grandfather Lin Shanhai, and various Alchemists like Shi Huajin.
Seeing the many people in Li Hao’s courtyard, Lin Qingyue and the others were taken aback, Jiang Ziyan and others also turned with some surprise, noticing these were faces not from their original crossing through the Immortal Gate, obviously people Li Hao had met in the Land of All Saints.
“Heard you were here, so we came to check on you.”
Lin Qingyue saw the young man at the table, looked intently and said softly.
“Was your journey here smooth?”
“With the Sword Master personally escorting, we didn’t encounter any issues, any Demons we met on the road were cleared away by one stroke of the Sword Master.” Lin Qingyue said.
“The Sword Master came too?”
Li Hao was somewhat surprised, it wasn’t the Sword Saint who came.
Could it be that he stayed to safeguard the Holy Land?
Thinking of seeing this fishing companion again, Li Hao also felt quite delighted.
“These are your friends?”
Lin Qingyue looked towards Jiang Ziyan, Ji, Bright Moon Sword, and others, sensing they were all extraordinarily talented Heavenly Prides, and thinking of Li Hao having so many friends besides her, her eyes fluttered slightly, and she nibbled her lower lip.
“Yes.”
Li Hao nodded, inviting Lin Qingyue, old Mr. Lin Shanhai and others to sit down, and the originally spacious courtyard suddenly seemed a bit crowded.
Soon after, a message came from outside the gate; Li Hao looked and was surprised to find Lin Shuhai, Chi Guang, and others had also arrived.
Li Hao slightly raised his eyebrows; he had no dealings with Lin Shuhai, but without grudges, he could accept their visit, though Chi Guang’s arrival was a bit unexpected.
Seeing Li Hao’s crowded courtyard, Lin Shuhai, Chi Guang, and others were clearly stunned; they had thought Li Hao, having offended the Buddha sect, might be shunned by others and be in a deserted state, but contrary to their expectations, it was very lively.
“Brother Haotian, I am Lin Shuhai, also from the Canglan Realm; we could be considered half-fellow townspeople.”
Lin Shuhai bowed, appearing genteel and extremely modest.
Li Hao returned the gesture, upon seeing the Heavenly Prides from the Saint Dynasty behind him, also invited them to sit.
Chi Guang looked at Li Hao, his expression complex.
During the battle of the Divine Dynasty, he had concealed his strength and conceded the first place to Li Hao, thinking it was his own concession, but later realized that even if he had competed seriously, he would have been no match for him.
Despite Li Hao defeating him, he was utterly convinced and held no hostility towards Li Hao; this visit was actually intended to give Li Hao a warning.
“The Twin Buddha Child has been reincarnated; I thought you wouldn’t dare to come, yet here you are. I heard the Twin Buddha Child has inherited the Saint Path from a previous life, and his strength is even more terrifying than before; you should be careful if you encounter him.”
Chi Guang warned.
This was secret information told by his master.
“Indeed.”
Li Hao didn’t expect the other person to come with good intentions and seeing this, didn’t show a cold face but nodded.
After Chi Guang finished speaking, he glanced again at the people at Li Hao’s table, his expression complex. Given Li Hao’s current standing, with two major Holy Lands holding hostility towards him, it was surprising to see so many daring to approach, not fearing getting burned themselves.
“I take my leave.”
Chi Guang finished speaking, did not linger, and turned to leave.
“Care to stay for a drink?”
Seeing him leave alone, Li Hao suddenly spoke out: “The flavor of this wine is quite good.”
