Follow the path of Dao from infancy

"Comparable to the stature of Transcendence!"

The old Daoist from Qingqiu Mountain didn't play coy anymore. In addition to the surprise on his face, there was also some excitement as he said, "Young Master's bones far surpass the Ninth-grade Battle Physique. I haven't seen such a case in thousands of years!" .net

After Qingqiu Mountain submitted to Dayu, it lived in peace with the world; he was an extremely old fox from Qingqiu Mountain, with broad knowledge and experience.

"Oh?"

Li Tianzong's eyes shone, the stature of Transcendence?!

Chen Hefang and the others were also shocked and looked at the old Daoist from Qingqiu Mountain in astonishment.

"A typical Ninth-grade Battle Physique has at least one main bone, like the Gold Iron Divine Jade, containing multicolored dim light, with flowing patterns on the surface of the bones, which are supreme!"

The old Daoist from Qingqiu Mountain said excitedly, "But Young Master's body, all his bones are like this!"

"72 main bones, all bursting with divine light, with patterns flowing, as if they were innate Dao marks!"

"Once Young Master steps onto the path of cultivation, he will surely soar to the skies, comparable to a saint's reincarnation. His path of cultivation will likely be unstoppable, breaking through realms as easily as eating and drinking, unmatched by anyone!"

Hearing the old Daoist's words, Chen Hefang and the others regained their senses and looked at Li Hao with both shock and joy.

This was the legendary assessment of talent!

A typical Ninth-grade Battle Physique was already the limit, yet Li Hao's entire body was made of Divine Bones, with a divine posture like jade, comparable to Transcendence!

Real saints have always been the stuff of legends, said to live in seclusion out of this world, beyond the mundane. The closest person to a saint in the Dayu Divine Dynasty was the Genuine One from Gan Tao Palace.

"Good, good, good, he's truly my son!"

Li Tianzong laughed heartily, his face beaming with spirit.

"Congratulations to the Duke, congratulations to the Madam!"

The old Daoist from Qingqiu Mountain bowed and congratulated, his eyes sweeping over the child beside him, inwardly amazed by such an aptitude, even more fearsome than that of the late Dayu Emperor.

This line of the Li Family was full of prodigies; it seemed they would lead the family once again to splendid glory!

"Worthy of being the Tenth!"

"Well done, Tenth, you've actually left us far behind!"

"Ninth brother, you've been outdone by the Tenth!"

Other "brothers" excitedly gathered around, surrounding Li Hao, some hooking his shoulders, some his neck, and some vigorously rubbing his hair, all with looks of surprise and excitement.

The older Ninth brother, Li Junye, who was two years older than Li Hao, was already seven years old and had shown remarkable comprehension and aptitude in the training grounds.

But after all, he was still a child; he too was full of joy for Li Hao, saying, "Tenth brother, in another year, you'll be able to cultivate too!"

"We won't be caught up by the Tenth, will we?"

"Seems like we also need to put in more effort."

The other "brothers" all said with a laugh.

Li Hao looked at these "uncles" gathered around him with a strange expression on his face. Although he knew his current identity and had joined in with them, it felt odd to become so suddenly super-aged.

Such interactions still made him feel a bit awkward.

His gaze swept over them, and seeing their genuine smiling faces, Li Hao could feel the gapless brotherly love between them.

However, this was also thanks to the elders' teachings, coupled with them being born from the same mother.

Facing the warm, excited physical touches, Li Hao was somewhat uncomfortable and wanted to break away.

But at the moment, as the center of attention, if he were to break away, he worried that he'd seem different from his "custodial" self, and the direct contrast might reveal flaws, so he had to tolerate it for now.

"You little lad, you're really something!"

"How come the younger you are, the smarter you get? Could it be that mother has kept the best for the last?"

"Are you itching for a fight? Are you implying that the eldest brother is the least clever?"

"Hey, hey, stop pinching me, it hurts!"

Surrounded by many "brothers," Li Hao was teased and playfully scuffled, sometimes even used as a shield.

Li Hao was pulled around from side to side, his hair turned into a bird's nest.

Seeing these jovial and joyful fellows, he felt a bit helpless in his heart; his mature soul prevented him from fully engaging in their dancing and capering. However, for some reason, he found the atmosphere comforting and pleasant.

That day, Li Tianzong proclaimed the news and threw a grand feast.

The mansion was exceptionally lively.

Li Hao watched the brightly lit Divine General Mansion and saw the nine sons of the Li Family playfully chasing and frolicking amidst the banquet, yet his gaze seemed somewhat distant.

Was this the scene of the Li Family from the past?

Compared to those empty courtyards with only women left, it was much livelier today.

When they all get married, it would probably be the liveliest time.

But for some reason, despite being in the midst of this merriment, Li Hao felt as if he was standing apart from the joy.

Although surrounded by noise, his heart was more tranquil than ever, and even colder, as if he had an illusion of the night air growing chill.

Because he knew that such harmonious scenes no longer existed for the Li Family outside the Mo River.

And he, too, was no longer a member of the Li Family.

"Tenth, what are you thinking about?"

Elder brother Li Xingbei came over with a cup of wine, having toasted with some nobles who had come to congratulate them. He now approached Li Hao and said with a smile:

"Is the food not to your taste? Tell me, and I'll have someone change the entire table for you."

"The tenth isn't getting nervous with so many people around, is he? Haha, there's no need to be nervous; three thousand guests of kings and nobles, when they see our Li Family, also have to bow down!"

Second brother Li Fengping also came over, chuckled, and then said in a lower voice.

Then he laughed heartily again with great gusto.

"Just now, several dukes wanted to propose a match for the Tenth!" Third brother Li Jianming said with a smile; he was about fifteen years old, a spirited youth.

Li Hao remembered that his third uncle eventually died fighting demons on the frontier, and his only daughter sought revenge for her father, enlisting in the army at the Frontier Pass early and not returning to the Li Mansion for many years.
