——–

In the courtyard, the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect was drinking tea and watching Jiang Hao.

She couldn’t understand what Jiang Hao had just said.

Maybe she grasped the literal meaning but couldn’t understand how to achieve it.

Abandon the Dao?

Understand the Dao?

Comprehend the Dao?

Re-define the Dao?

It sounds quite simple, but…

How to do it?

True Immortals understand the Dao intent, Heavenly Immortals perceive the Dao Pattern, True Immortals’ Dao is recognized, and Daluo carves out their own path.

After that is the gathering of the Dao fruit.

Or take the path of the Helpless Heaven and Human Emperor.

The Dao comes from the heavens and earth, from one’s true heart, resonating with the Tao.

And what Jiang Hao said clearly overturned all understanding.

“Madam doesn’t quite grasp it?” Jiang Hao asked.

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect took a sip of her tea without answering; she didn’t want to understand.

However, Jiang Hao continued, “Actually, there’s a more intuitive way to comprehend.”

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect: “….”

Suddenly, she could feel the presence of Gu Jin and Helpless Heaven again.

No wonder they all didn’t want to talk to Jiang Hao, nor to meet with him.

She hadn’t asked anything, yet Jiang Hao had begun.

Still, she was somewhat curious.

Beyond that name, how else could she more directly understand what Jiang Hao had realized?

At this moment, Jiang Hao gently lifted his palm and said calmly, “I decree there be light.”

As soon as the words fell, a faint light converged in Jiang Hao’s hand.

Watching the light, the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect found it unbelievable.

Then Jiang Hao’s voice came again: “And so there was light.”

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect was stunned; she couldn’t feel any spiritual energy coming from the light, nor could she perceive any Dao intent.

Where did this light come from?

When the light disappeared, she thought of the Great Overarching Heaven and said, “Is it like the time when the Great Overarching Heaven was first opened?”

“Similar, but deeper. In the beginning, it was just the surface,” Jiang Hao said calmly, “Back then, wherever the eyes reached, Dao intent filled the void, and where the Tao passed, order was established, laws were manifested.

Now, Dao intent is not revealed, Tao is not present, yet I can speak for the Dao, and because of me, the Dao exists.”

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect was shocked: “You’ve comprehended it?”

Jiang Hao shook his head: “No.”

Saying this with a tinge of regret: “I don’t know if it’s because my talents are insufficient; I only have some understanding and can’t do like Lord Cheng Yun.

The Supreme Lord Cheng Yun, he is the one who proclaimed this Dao; it contains the essence of eternity, walking alongside the Tao.

The more I understand it, the more I realize why the likes of Helpless Heaven fell.”

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect holding her cup of tea asked, “When will you seek out Helpless Heaven?”

Hearing this, Jiang Hao put down his hand, picked up his teacup and said, “That doesn’t seem too good, does it?”

Last time, Helpless Heaven said he was completely dead.

“Don’t you need to keep understanding others’ Dao, to realize more? Or would you say you’ve already had enough?” the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect asked.

Jiang Hao pondered and replied, “It should not be sufficient. Although I have seen through some of the essence, there is infinite strength in change.

Perhaps I could understand even more.

But for now, there’s no need to listen to their preaching and Dharma anymore.

After all, it’s not really safe anymore.”

Jiang Hao looked up at the sky; that feeling was still there, as soon as he leaves the Heavenly Note Sect, he could be spied upon.

Of course, even if he doesn’t leave, the other party had already locked onto his Dao.

Once the Tao is revealed, the other party will start to approach.

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect remained silent for a moment and then said, “Right now, you have no Dao, so as long as you always have none, couldn’t you avoid being approached?”

Jiang Hao reflected for a moment and said, “I’m not sure, but if I fight with someone and the strength displayed exceeds the normal Daluo category, I might still be locked onto.

In any case, it will probably be not so easy to engage in a fight henceforth.

For instance, like when I destroyed the Heavenly Seal of the Supreme Immortal Court, sealed the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone or went to the past to fight against Lord Chengyun.

These kinds of high-level actions, I probably can’t do anymore.

Also, I can no longer comprehend the common Tao.

Otherwise, it’d bring great trouble and I could no longer hide.”

“No more freedom?” the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect put down her tea cup and asked.

Jiang Hao thought for a while and said, “It’s not that exaggerated, going out occasionally and moving hands is still possible.

As long as it’s not a huge conflict it should be fine.”

Right now, it’s as if his whereabouts are known, but his true strength has not been exposed.

As long as nothing significant is done, he can continue to maintain his current peace.

Even if he is targeted, Cheng Yun is still in slumber, not approaching.

If his strength is exposed, then perhaps Cheng Yun would be able to come closer to the Great Era, gradually waking up.

In the end, it would probably be like Helpless Heaven and Human Emperor.

Thinking thus, Jiang Hao suddenly felt as if he was a person imprisoned within heaven and earth.

Once revealed, it would be easy to appear in the palm of the other’s hand.

Escaping would be extremely difficult.

Just like Helpless Heaven, no matter how fast, could not escape Cheng Yun’s pursuit.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao paused.

“That’s strange.”

“What is it?”

The lady from the Heavenly Note Sect asked.

“Cheng Yun’s power has reached the Mobile Major, a very faint strength, but capable of killing the powerful,” Jiang Hao thought for a moment and said, “Does the Mobile Major have someone he wants to kill? I remember the South Pole Immortal Monarch is over there too.

I didn’t expect he hasn’t left yet.”

Saying this, he poured a cup of tea for the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect.

“Looks like his end has come,” the lady from the Heavenly Note Sect picked up the teacup and continued, “He must be hiding in the Mobile Major, probably seeking your help.”

Jiang Hao originally wanted to use him, to directly go to the predetermined point in time to witness the pursuer.

Unfortunately, Dao Yi discovered him ahead of time.

Thus, he did not seek the help of the South Pole Immortal Monarch.

Neither did he solve the problem of hiding for him.

Even if this problem had been solved, it would only be temporary.

After leaving that space, without death, the mark cannot be erased.

Unless one day, his own strength is sufficient to directly wipe it away.

Or let it enter the Land of Oblivion.
