At the summit of Extreme Dao Mountain, in a splendid and luxurious villa.

"Only three years left..."

"The Endless Heavenly Domain is about to open. In these three hundred years, my Chaos Law has improved from refining three paths to eleven paths, which is only comparable to when Haotian Junior Brother first entered..."

Di Lingshu, dressed in a distinguished dark-gold dress, furrowed her brows. She didn't expect that for this trip to the Endless Heavenly Domain, she would truly have to rely on that junior brother who entered later.

"Coming to the Primordial True Realm for cultivation has been over seven hundred years. Now, the speed of refining the Chaos Law averages forty years per path. The more I refine, the slower the speed. By the time I refine to twenty paths of Chaos Law, it might take over a hundred years for any progress."

Thinking about Haotian Junior Brother's exaggerated cultivation speed, she couldn't help but feel somewhat defeated.

She used to be extremely confident in the sect, but these three hundred years suddenly made her realize she wasn't at the top of the ranks. Above her head, besides a master senior brother and a monstrous second senior brother, there was also Haotian Junior Brother, a creature like that.

"Thinking back to my past, two hundred years to comprehend sixty-nine chaotic stars, and a hundred years to condense those sixty-nine stars into twenty-three paths of Chaos Law, totaling only three hundred years. But now..."

Di Lingshu sighed, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

"In these three hundred years, Haotian Junior Brother should have long refined twenty-three paths of Chaos Law. In three hundred years of cultivation, I've only just condensed twenty-three paths, while the junior brother has already refined twenty-three paths and crossed a major realm..."

"Right now, I wonder what preparations Haotian Junior Brother is making?"

She raised her eyes, looking over the courtyard wall, wanting to see the scene inside that small fenced courtyard.

...

"Dong~"

The gentle sound of the zither echoed, accompanied by the aroma of meat and laughter.

"Your craftsmanship is getting better."

Shi Miao, holding Ancient Demon Flesh, sat next to Li Hao's zither table, eating while smiling, her lips and teeth stained with grease.

Li Hao smiled slightly, the sound of the zither swirling around his fingertips, the surrounding immortal power condensing into graceful fairy shadows, dancing in front of the strings.

"One sound moves the heaven and earth to dance."

Li Hao murmured softly.

Since breaking through to the thirteenth stage in the Painting Realm, Li Hao had begun to cultivate musical rhythm.

The courtyard area was small, providing no opportunity for fishing, and carving was too introspective; once immersed, he would overlook Shi Miao by his side. Only with the accompaniment of the zither could he both comprehend and perceive his surroundings.

After a hundred years of playing, his experience in music rhythm had long been filled. During this period, he had an epiphany, deeply immersed in it. When Li Hao awoke, Shi Miao told him that a full sixty years had passed, making Li Hao secretly click his tongue.

He had long heard that the higher the realm, comprehension passes like a snap of the fingers for thousands of years. He never expected it to be true.

Just one trance, unknowingly, and sixty years had passed.

And that epiphany did not lead to a breakthrough, nor did it allow him to grasp the Music Rhythm Realm, though it brought him very close.

As his fingertips stopped, the graceful fairy shadows in front of him all bowed and saluted to Li Hao, then transformed into ethereal immortal mist, dissipating in front of the strings like flowing sand.

"The thirteenth stage of mind is truly difficult."

Li Hao thought inwardly. A hundred years of comprehension couldn't even break through one stage. A mere few decades had elevated all other artistic skills from one stage to twelve stages, multiple skills!

The gap between the twelfth and thirteenth stage felt like a chasm; Li Hao sensed a huge watershed between them.

"Your zither sound can already influence space-time."

Shi Miao said to Li Hao.

Previously, during the playing, besides the immortal power transforming into dancing maidens, the space-time in the courtyard also rippled and trembled, sometimes calm, sometimes agitated, sometimes stirred like a sudden downpour, sometimes slow and stopped like a tranquil mountain stream. Her control over time was deep, so her perception of Li Hao's zither sound was profound.

If battling, Li Hao's zither sound would be terrifying enough to become an immortal technique to kill enemies in combat.

"Painting Realm Reversing Time, music rhythm... what heart should be the Tao?"

Li Hao's eyes flickered; he hadn't found that world heart of music rhythm.

Though it was just the step at the door, it was crucially decisive.

In the small courtyard, time flew by.

In the blink of an eye, three years quietly passed.

To the Immortal Monarch Realm, three years is but a fleeting moment.

At the summit of Extreme Dao Mountain, within the hall.

Li Hao and Senior Sister Di Lingshu had both arrived before their master. Besides them, Gu Mofan, Di Wushè, and other senior brothers and sisters had also incarnated to this place.

"Junior Brother, it's been three hundred years. By now, surely you've refined twenty-three paths of Chaos Law, right?"

As they appeared, they greeted Li Hao with smiles.

Three hundred years ago, Li Hao had astonished the entire Primordial True Realm upon first arriving at the sect. Now, three hundred years have passed, he must have already reached the peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm.

"Hmm..."

Li Hao scratched his head. He hadn't yet added Chaos Dao of the Sixth Stage, worried about being noticed by the Chaos Immortal Emperor or that the Original Immortal Emperor might spy on him, hence he chose to hold back, planning to improve in the Endless Heavenly Domain.

Therefore, his Chaos Law was still at the level of refining twenty-one paths.

Seeing Li Hao's ambiguous response, the others smiled too, not delving deeper, only assuming Li Hao was being modest. After all, two hundred years ago, Li Hao had already refined twenty-one paths of Chaos Law, even if cultivation became harder later on, but with Li Hao's talent, two hundred years would suffice to refine two more paths.

Dao Origin Immortal Emperor glanced at Li Hao, which made Li Hao feel as though he had been seen through, sweating involuntarily. It seemed his situation hadn't escaped this master's notice, likely understanding his current level of Chaos Refining Law.

But the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor merely glanced and said nothing, simply peacefully stated:

"The Endless Heavenly Domain shall open. You two, along with other outer sect disciples, head towards the Endless Heavenly Domain. It is a land of opportunity, but also a place of fall. Inside, no one can help you, not even your master!"
