Follow the path of Dao from infancy

The youth had clearly transcended the distinction of legitimate and illegitimate lines; by the time he became a Dao Seed, the concept no longer existed for him.

Now, even if he still stubbornly resisted, most of the other illegitimate offspring from the Ji Family would likely not approve.

Although the Ji Family had struggled internally between legitimate and illegitimate lines for thousands of years, in the face of a family prodigy and War God, unless there were personal grievances, they generally felt a common pride.

This was the contradiction and peculiarity of the Ji Family, as well as the reason for their enduring prosperity in the Great Wilderness Heaven.

Ji Qingyuan had never met Li Hao, and naturally, there was no enmity between them. Now that the youth was a Dao Seed and had received the legacy of a saint, poised to be a disciple of a Saint, there was even less need to continue the hostility.

Sighing inwardly, Ji Qingyuan's thoughts whirled, pondering how to resolve the past conflict.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Li Hao's inquiring gaze, Ji Tian Chao immediately said,

"Your mother is on Qiu Tian Dao, which is located in the deepest part of our Ji Family's Saint Realm, the furthest place. Don't worry, once we make the proper arrangements, we'll send you to see your mother as soon as possible."

Li Hao asked, "How long will it take?"

Ji Tian Chao replied with a smile, "At most six or seven days, you can stay in your mother's palace for now. If you miss her, we have the Observing Heaven Mirror, a sacred treasure that allows you to see what's happening on Qiu Tian Dao. You can check on your mother's whereabouts at any time; you just can't send messages."

Li Hao thought for a moment and then agreed.

With many onlookers around, Ji Tian Chao, not fond of crowds, did not linger. He immediately departed with Li Hao in flight, disappearing before the Extreme Tao Stele.

The spectators, witnessing the youth being taken away by Ji Tian Chao, the War God, came back to their senses and immediately burst into excited discussion and cheering, no longer caring that Li Hao was of mixed blood.

Ji and other prodigies watched the direction the youth had gone, taking a long time to come back to reality.

Everything seemed like a dream.

Before the ringing of the sacred bell, who could have imagined they would experience such an incredible upheaval today?

"The mark of a saint, I never expected that the Four Extremes Realm could activate the mark of a saint. How come the elders in my family, my father, and the others never told me about this?!"

"What's the use of telling you? You can't even condense a Heaven and Earth Vein."

"..."

"That guy, what lineage is his other half from, to be so terrifying?"

"Could it be that his mother married into another Ancient Holy Clan?"

Many prodigies also whispered among themselves, still shaken by what they had witnessed today.

Although most of them had not participated in the battle, Li Hao's earth-shattering fight with Ji Xuan Shen had already utterly convinced them.

Ji brought out the Holy Bone and still lost, shattering the legend of the Dao Domain; what was most terrifying was that the youth was only at the Three Immortal Realms!

"What do you think, once he steps into the Four Stands Realm, could he be invincible under the War God?"

"... Don't you feel like he's already somewhat invincible under the War God right now?"

"Stop arguing with me; I'm talking about truly invincible."

"That's what I was saying..."

...

...

Entering a resplendent and magnificent palace, Ji Tian Chao and others led Li Hao inside.

"This is where your mother lived. Your grandfather has already passed away, but his heroic spirit still resides in the ancestral shrine. When you have time, you can go to pay your respects. I'm sure Old Thirteenth would be very excited to see you, especially after hearing about what happened today..." Ji Yunqing said with a smile, introducing the place to Li Hao.

Li Hao's gaze shifted slightly as he thought of his grandfather, and wondered about his paternal grandfather.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He didn't know if the latter had made it to the Li Family and whether his wishes had been fulfilled.

"You came from afar to venture deep into the Great Wilderness Heaven, facing numerous dangers. The bond between you and your mother must be very deep," Ji Yun Yue said with the kind smile of a doting grandmother.

Deep? Li Hao's thoughts revolved.

He had just crossed over, and his "mother," who appeared to him as a young girl, had left during his hundred-day celebration.

Fifteen years had passed.

He had even forgotten her appearance, but he vaguely remembered her gentle eyes.

And the words she had said:

"Actually, your mother had already thought of a good name for you, Le Ping, Li Le Ping... Mother only wishes for your happiness and safety..."

"...No matter what the future holds, your mother will always stand behind you, never letting anyone harm you..."

These words Li Hao never forgot.

So now it was his turn to shield her from the elements.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"How long did you spend with your mother, and did she teach you the Cultivation Technique?" Ji Tian Chao asked with rare curiosity.

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "I spent about a hundred days with her."

"Hmm?"

Ji Tian Chao and the others were taken aback. Had there been a mistake? A hundred days?

Li Hao knew that once he brought his mother back, he would naturally have to explain his precociousness. The abilities he possessed now no longer scared him.

Thus, he responded openly and calmly, "That's right. My mother went to the Frontier Pass to fight when I had my hundred-day celebration, and most of the Cultivation Technique I learned on my own."

Ji Yun Yue was momentarily stunned, then quickly asked, "What about after that? When did she come back?"

Li Hao replied, "She never returned."

"After that, she seemed to have revealed her identity and was brought back here, so I came to find her," he continued.

Hearing the youth's calm words and seeing his smiling face, Ji Tian Chao and others stood frozen in place, momentarily forgetting what to say.

That meant the mother and son hadn't seen each other for over a decade?

"How old are you this year?" Ji Yun Yue asked, her voice trembling.

"Fifteen," he replied.

"You remember what happened when you were a hundred days old?" Ji Tian Chao couldn't help but ask.

Li Hao nodded, "I was precocious since birth; I remember everything that happened a few months after I was born, very clearly."

The group exchanged looks, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
