Chapter 1168: Chapter 247: Supreme Immortal Technique Peak

Li Hao was stunned, thinking these time fragments were the supreme immortal techniques Elder Wang had mentioned. Unexpectedly, it was a time projection of a Direct Disciple.

“Who are you?”

Li Hao inquired to the voice.

“Just a remnant soul, nothing significant.”

The elderly voice said: “Among the Immortal Emperor’s three Direct Disciples, one has a soul heart that has completely withered and perished, while the other two were defeated in that catastrophe but did not fully die; their soul hearts remain, though it is unknown where they reincarnated or if their Primordial Spirits have scattered into strands that escaped. Please make sure to find them.”

He paused and said: “Once you’ve found them, you’ll also be qualified to compete with them for the Immortal Emperor’s Tao inheritance. If you’re worried you can’t rival them, you must pass the test to become a Direct Disciple, which requires exceptional talent. However, finding them has no other requirements; even if your soul life exceeds ten thousand years, it’s alright.”

Li Hao nodded; the implication in the other’s words was very clear: only a Direct Disciple could hope to inherit the Immortal Emperor’s true Tao, and they eagerly wished for a Direct Disciple to appear and let the Immortal Emperor’s Tao shine brightly again.

If one’s soul life lasted over ten thousand years, making them ineligible as a Direct Disciple, this might not be a bad path.

But ten thousand years was still too long for Li Hao.

“Here’s the second one: Heavenly Youthful Goddess, Shi Miao.”

At this moment, after the elderly voice finished speaking, a diamond-shaped segment of the time projection unfolded slowly before Li Hao’s eyes.

It was a vast plain, filled with countless monstrous demon figures densely populating the ground, walking beasts and flying creatures, dragons, and phoenixes flying together. Amidst this dark and ominous gathering of demons, a girl’s figure drifted gracefully.

Her stature slender and bright as a crystal, she flew effortlessly through the mass of demons, hands clasped behind her.

Yet, the surrounding demons were all frozen rigid, like sculptures, including their hairs and the fire emitting from their bodies, all stopped like a painting, completely frozen.

As the girl floated out of the demonic circle, the demons suddenly began moving, looking around, but the girl’s figure had long disappeared.

“Shi Miao is born from chaos, mastering the Time Dao since birth, reaching nearly the tenth level of time upon apprenticing under the Immortal Emperor, with the potential to claim emperorship with the Time Dao and become the Empress!”

The elderly voice carried a hint of excitement, and respect, saying: “Among the top genius monsters of the True Realm’s Ten Thousand Clans, Shi Miao Divine Lady stands at the pinnacle, with few able to rival her at the same level. The Immortal Emperor held great expectations for her, yet unfortunately, the calamity came too soon; she set out with the Immortal Emperor and never returned.”

He spoke, unable to help but sigh.

For such an extraordinary being, what they lack most is time.

Yet Li Hao watched the time projection intently, feeling the elderly voice buzz softly in his ears, hearing it vaguely, his heart fixated entirely on the girl’s face within the projection.

It was the face of a peerless beauty, revealing a serene calmness and unwavering composure in any situation… most crucially, it was a face he had seen before!

Shi Miao Divine Lady… the Immortal Emperor’s Direct Disciple… is it her?

Li Hao was somewhat stunned, for that face, albeit slightly different in temperament, matched Ying Xiaoxiao whom he met earlier precisely.

However, Ying Xiaoxiao’s gaze was warmer, while Shi Miao’s gaze remained calmer, as if unfazed by demons, with mountains crumbling and winds rising in solitude, without a hint of ripple.

“You mentioned their soul hearts weren’t withered, might they reincarnate?”

Li Hao couldn’t help but inquire.

The elderly voice sensed Li Hao’s shift and said: “Yes, might you know Shi Miao Divine Lady’s whereabouts?”

Li Hao didn’t answer, gazing intently at the time projection with considerable certainty, trusting that if the elderly voice were accurate, Ying Xiaoxiao was likely Shi Miao Divine Lady.

Otherwise, the exact likeness of the face being sheer coincidence was difficult to believe.

“Do these reincarnated Direct Disciples bear any trait, such as exhibiting extremely strong cultivation talent?”

Li Hao inquired again.

The elderly voice said: “That’s hard to say. The battle was too gruesome; even though their soul hearts hadn’t withered, they might seal memory and power upon reincarnation, to evade the Ancient Demon’s hunt in cycles, to rust, and await return, or be driven into desperation, leaving only a strand of true soul in reincarnation…”

“If you wish to search, I’ll projecting their soul hearts for you. If you find a suspected reincarnator, you may have them merge with the projected soul heart. If it’s the true body, the memory breach will open through fusion of the projected soul heart.”

As he spoke, two beams of light suddenly appeared before Li Hao, one blue, one colorful.

Both beams had faint strands coiled within, emitting very weak Primordial Spirit aura.

Li Hao saw them and received these projected soul hearts into his Primordial Spirit.

“Don’t worry about competition and rivalry. If you find who they are, they will be grateful, and may even withdraw from competing with you.” The elderly voice said again.

Li Hao understood his concerns, worried that he might find someone to eliminate them, allowing no one to compete with him.

Yet to gain the Tao inheritance one must be a Direct Disciple; eliminating them would be severing his own paths.

“I understand.”

Li Hao said.

The elderly voice didn’t say more, and once Li Hao finished viewing, the two time shards in the void withdrew and disappeared.

Subsequently, light spheres emerged one after another, stopping upon the tenth one.
