Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 501

Chapter 501: Chapter 57 Pursuit_2
 

*This was… a loss.*

*And a complete defeat!*

Ji Daoxin and Ji Tian Chao were stunned, as the moment Li Hao unveiled his Dual Dao Domain, their hearts felt as if they were being fiercely wrenched, realizing the outcome.

The young man before them not only reached the Tao Realm but far exceeded their imagination with his brilliance.

The other members of the Ji Family who rushed over were all silent at this moment.

The previously supportive Ji Family’s Heavenly Pride were also dumbfounded, looking at the scene in disbelief. Ji Xuan Shen, who had stepped into the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, was so easily defeated.

Not even a single move was needed. Li Hao didn’t even have to lift a finger. His Dao Domain alone utterly crushed, the gap was unbelievably vast!

As they watched the silhouette of the young man walking away, Ji Daoxin and others finally reacted and quickly chased after him.

“You really can’t stay at the Ji Family?”

Ji Qingyuan, feeling shaken inside, looked complexly at the young man and asked in a low voice.

Ji Daoxin glanced at him, not expecting that he would speak out to urge him to stay, feeling both surprised and somber inside.

“Although I am not a member of the Ji Family, I can become a friend of the Ji Family, letting everything happen as fate allows.”

Li Hao said.

Hearing the young man’s words, Ji Daoxin and others were silent, knowing that at this point they could not keep Li Hao.

The youth never regarded any of Ji Family’s resources as important.

As for the so-called family protection, it was laughable, mere empty talk, after all, this youth had entirely grown and risen, enough to traverse freely through Great Wilderness Heaven.

Besides the War Gods from various Saint Clans, and a few elders who were not dead yet as well as some Forbidden Lands, basically there was no place that could stop him.

Ji Daoxin couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Seeing Li Hao reveal his Dual Dao Domain made him even more pained and regretful, and even made him regret that slight pause during the initial questioning from Li Hao.

*If he had answered yes directly at that time, would the young man’s heart have turned back?*

*In this gloomy atmosphere, they finished this journey, arriving in front of the Holy Land Secret Realm.*

Although Ji Daoxin was filled with pain and reluctance, he still opened the Holy Land Secret Realm for Li Hao and said:

“As I said, the Ji Family will always welcome you back. This is the shuttle secret pattern of our Ji Family’s Holy Land Secret Realm.”

He raised his hand, and a secret pattern like an array appeared in his palm, manifesting in Li Hao’s eyes.

Li Hao saw it, initially wanting to refuse, but since the secret pattern had already been seen, unless he forgot this memory, it was considered mastered.

Seeing the other side so persistent, Li Hao didn’t say much, just sighed inwardly and raised his hand to bid them farewell.

“Let me see you off once more.”

Ji Yun Yue and others stepped forward, wanting to accompany Li Hao a bit longer.

Li Hao declined, but Ji Yun Yue and others insisted on sending him off, so he had to let them be.

Ji Tian Chao merely accompanied them silently, without speaking further, but the old man’s eyes were full of endless desolation.

After stepping out past the Holy Land Secret Realm of the Ji Family, being sent off by them for a thousand miles, Li Hao once again politely declined.

“If you ever come back to Great Wilderness Heaven, remember you must come see us.”

Ji Yun Yue said with tear-filled eyes.

Ji Yun Qing and others were also full of reluctance.

“I will.” Li Hao nodded and then bid them farewell just like that.

Watching the young man’s departing back, Ji Yun Qing murmured, “Besides the ancestors, our Ji Family seems to have lost a future Saint.”

“Third brother said he’d need ten years to fight alongside me. I thought he understated it back then, but now I realize third brother overestimated the time.”

Ji Tian Chao gazed towards that direction, whispering, “With a Dual Dao Domain and such perception, if he solely seeks the Dao, within five years he would likely comprehend the Dao. In our lifetime, we might even witness the rise of a Saint.”

“A Saint…”

Their children remained stunned, yet their emotions were complicated.

A person who could bring glory to the Ji Family once again, yet they failed to hold onto him.

The day after bidding farewell to Li Hao.

At the peak of Saint Mountain, Ji Xuan Shen and several Heavenly Prides came seeking the Family Head Ji Daoxin.

“You want to go beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven?”

Upon hearing Ji Xuan Shen’s words, Ji Daoxin was stunned. When he saw the determined faces of the other Heavenly Prides, he couldn’t help but frown.

“That young man won’t return to the Ji Family anymore. It’s no use chasing after him. Don’t tinker and ruin things,” he said.

Ji Xuan Shen shook his head slightly, saying, “I just want to see, beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven, that place ruled by the Jiang family, in that barren dynasty, what kind of environment could produce a prodigy like him.”

“That’s right, I also want to see. We in the Ji Family enjoy countless divine medicines and treasures, but still don’t surpass him. I want to witness what kind of place Beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven really is.”

Ji Qingshuang said.

Her father Ji Qingyuan had already understood his daughter’s thoughts the previous day. Listening to this, he only frowned slightly, silently sighing, yet he did not stop them.

With Ji Xuan Shen, someone in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm accompanying them, these Ji Family Heavenly Prides were not weak and were unlikely to encounter problems there.

After all, the Heavenly Pride of the Ancient Holy Clan is not a caged canary, not so fragile.

Ji Daoxin glanced at them, then looked at Ji Xuan Shen. Seeing the child’s unwavering gaze staring back at him, he understood that his mind was made up.

If he were to stop them further, this would become a hurdle in his heart, preventing progress, likely leaving his cultivation stagnated.

“Very well, that Dayu Divine Dynasty is ruled by the Jiang family. Though it’s a barren land outside Great Wilderness Heaven, once you arrive, be sure to adhere to their rules. Remember, that dynasty bears the Jiang name.”

Ji Daoxin said.

Ji Xuan Shen and others exchanged glances and finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Understood. The Jiang family, one of the legendary Eight Great Archaic Holy Tribes.” Ji Xuan Shen nodded.

“Precisely.”

Ji Daoxin nodded, “Back then, the forefather of the Jiang family lost in the holy war of Great Wilderness Heaven and could only be exiled beyond Great Wilderness Heaven to those barren lands. But their heritage and Dao lineage have not ended.”

“Thousands of years ago, a prodigy was born in that Jiang family, naturally connected across all meridians, unifying that barren place, establishing a dynasty, bringing order. Considered a top powerhouse, later said to have died in battle, who knows if it’s true or not, but there’s no need to provoke them.”

Ji Xuan Shen and others felt solemn; a person naturally bound with a hundred meridians was indeed a heaven-gifted talent.

“Additionally, while gathering information on that young man earlier, I also investigated that Dayu Divine Dynasty. They are now in decline, surrounded by demons, with a war likely breaking out at any time. Behind these demons are ancient demon shadows from within our Great Wilderness Heaven. There will surely be a life-and-death battle that will shake the Imperial Capital. Remember not to venture into their Imperial City lightly.”

Ji Daoxin earnestly advised.

Hearing this, Ji Xuan Shen and others felt a chill in their hearts. *Was the hometown of that young man already in such danger?*

“Understood.” Ji Xuan Shen nodded.

Ji Daoxin looked at him, paused for a moment, then let out a long sigh, saying:

“Xuan Shen, living in the same era as that young man is unfortunate for you, but you don’t need to be too fixated on him. Apart from him, you are the most outstanding Heavenly Pride of our Ji Family, and you’re the pride of your parents. Do you understand?”

Ji Xuan Shen remained silent for a moment, then said, “I understand.”

Ji Daoxin nodded slightly, his demeanor easing a bit, and said:

“If you meet that young man, and he needs any help, you can send word back. If he intends to support and uplift that Jiang dynasty, our Ji Family will fully assist him!”

Ji Xuan Shen could not help but glance at this Family Head. Being part of the Ancient Holy Clan, he knew better than anyone that these tribes within Great Wilderness Heaven, even the smaller ones, sneered at those beyond Great Wilderness Heaven, disdaining to set foot there, let alone going all out to assist.

“I understand.”

Ji Xuan Shen solemnly said.

Hearing this, Ji Daoxin showed a gratified smile.

A few days later.

On the edge of Great Wilderness Heaven, a young man sat atop a demon whose entire body had fiery-red fur like a Fire Lion.

Gazing at the distant peaks, the young man murmured, “I’m back…”
