The Name of Eternity

Li Hao had previously passed through the Fengshan Death River in Tan Palace, but his body had not changed at all. The Death River was just some villagers who seemed normal but were actually dead long ago. As long as they were all saved, the Death River could be destroyed.

Now, he has returned to youth?

No wonder I felt my power was disappearing before, as if I was being deprived of something.

Is this what's special about Youdu-level Qianhe?

Li Hao was a little frightened. At this moment, his mind was spinning and he felt sleepy. He soon couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep.

…

When Li Hao woke up again, he saw his hands and feet were pink, lying on a strange bed, covered with a soft blanket.

He was wearing a belly band and looked like he was not just born, but several months old.

It was really not a dream before... Li Hao was finally convinced that he was still in the dead river at this moment, but what happened to his body? He felt that he seemed to be able to get up.

Soon, Li Hao put his idea into action and actually turned over and crawled on the bed.

This is definitely not something a newborn baby can do!

"I should have had it for several months..."

Li Hao murmured, but the words came out as a babbling "slightly, slightly, slightly".

The vocal cords have not yet developed.

But there is no doubt that there is something wrong with the flow of time here.

I just took a nap. Although I like to sleep in, I won’t be lazy until a few months later, right?

Li Hao stopped crawling, touched his chin with his little hand, and sat on the bed to think.

At this time, a golden letter appeared in front of his eyes:

[Growth] mission progress: 2.3%.

Li Hao was surprised, has this progressed to 2.3?

If according to the requirements of the task, he has to live to the age of eighteen, then does he have lived for five months now?

Five months passed in the blink of an eye... Li Hao felt that if he slept a few more times, it would probably be eighteen years later.

By then, the main quest will probably be started.

Guarding Dragon City, this is Dragon City Minghe... Li Hao's eyes flickered, feeling that he should be fully prepared before turning eighteen.

This is the Youdu-level Death River, which is by no means simple. Even the Taiping Dao realm only has the ability to "possibly" pass the level, which shows how dangerous it is.

With a creak, the door was suddenly pushed open.

A slender young man wearing brocade clothes walked in, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, looking extremely handsome.

When he saw Li Hao, who was about to change from sitting to lying down, his originally solemn face suddenly showed a look of relief, and whispered: "Little mouse?"

Li Hao was about to lie down and pretend to rest when he heard this and was startled. The fourth master was the one who knew his nickname and entered the Minghe River.

He raised his head and looked at the other person in surprise, and immediately saw that he was somewhat similar to the old Li Xiaoran he had met before:

"Luelue (Fourth Master)?"

"You still can't speak clearly? Yes, then I tell you to listen. If you are a little mouse, just raise your hands."

Li Xiaoran, who looked like a young man, said in a low voice.

Li Hao immediately raised his hand.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiaoran basically confirmed Li Hao's identity. He smiled softly and said:

"I was worried that you would appear somewhere else, but it turned out that you were in the Divine General's Mansion, which saved me the trouble of searching. I also asked why my eldest brother suddenly appeared Juro, guessing that it might be you, but it turned out..."

"It should be the blood of the Li family in your body that caused my eldest brother's obsession to make you his heir."

Seeing Li Hao's helpless look, Li Xiaoran chuckled, then his expression became slightly serious and said:

"I don't know if you have ever entered the Ming River, but it doesn't matter. This is the Youdu-level Ming River. It is very different from the Ming River you know. There are special rules here!"

"For example, depriving us of our original bodies and strength is one of the rules."

"The flow rate of time here is also one of the special rules. Don't lose consciousness easily. When you are sleeping or in a coma, time will flow faster, but your body will only grow along my elder brother's cognition. It will not There are other changes!”

"For example, in the eyes of my elder brother, if you only behave well, it will be more than ten years later if you sleep more. By then, your cultivation level will only reach the level that my elder brother estimates. , probably the most talented person in heaven!”

"And in the Heavenly Realm, in the upcoming Dragon City War, they are no different from cannon fodder, and they are almost certain to die!"

He knew that Li Hao could not speak, but his expression became more serious as he spoke:

"Once you die here in this body, you will really die. Your original body will disappear and become the nourishment of the Death River. Even your own soul will be imprisoned by the Death River and will not be allowed to exist. Reincarnation!”

Li Hao felt awe-inspiring. He looked like a baby now. If he died, would he really die?

No wonder the Youdu-level Death River is so dangerous. No strong person can endure such a change in realm.

"Even if you are in the fate-defying realm, you cannot save your life here, unless you practice here to reach the fate-defying realm, but you are not given much time. Based on my own age, it will be about eighteen years later."

"When you turn eighteen, it's time for Dragon Gate to attack the city!"

Li Xiaoran took a deep breath and whispered: "You must grow up before that time and strive to cultivate to your original state. The higher the better."

He thought of the power that Li Hao had erupted when he broke away from the Zhuhuo Divine Dao Domain, and he felt a little comforted, but his expression did not relax because of this, and said:

"This Dragon City was the first of the most glorious cities in Yanbei. It has been guarded by my Li family for thousands of years. Hundreds of years ago, an ancestor killed a dragon demon king in anger and divided it among the dragon cities. The corpse was hung up and built into a wall of Dragon City, and the city was renamed Dragon City from then on!"

"But this incident also angered the Dragon Clan. Longmen secretly planned and accumulated strength. Decades ago, when this Dragon City was guarded by my eldest brother, Longmen seized the opportunity and took advantage of the situation to break through the city gate."

"That battle was so dark that there were countless casualties. Most of the troops that the royal family came to reinforce were killed!"

Li Xiaoran's eyes were deep and solemn, and he said: "Therefore, when you turn eighteen, the battle situation you will face is extremely dangerous, but fortunately we can take care of each other this time. If it really can't be solved, I have other ways to save my life!"

"However, it would be better if it could be solved incidentally."

He guarded Minghe just to help his eldest brother guard Longcheng and free him.

Li Hao nodded slightly. Although he had many questions, he couldn't speak at the moment. He could only ask after a while when he could speak.

“Don’t ever think that spiritual practice is easy.”

Seeing Li Hao's calm expression, Li Xiaoran said solemnly: "The special rules of Minghe will interfere with your original understanding of the Tao realm. Therefore, you are equivalent to practicing and enlightening again. You can try to recall your original understanding now. You will know the technique.”

Li Hao was stunned. He also wanted to say that practicing is not difficult, especially for Li Xiaoran. It is equivalent to the reincarnation of a strong man. With the original mastery of skills, he can quickly soar into the sky. In this way, this Death River It doesn't seem that difficult to clear the level.

Hearing Li Xiaoran's words at this moment, Li Hao immediately began to recall his insights on swordsmanship, chess, etc.

It didn't matter if he didn't want to, but when his thoughts turned to those aspects, Li Hao felt as if he was blocked by a barrier and couldn't really remember.

This feels so weird!

I knew I knew how to use a sword, but when I recalled it, I forgot how to hold it!

And no matter how hard I try, I can’t remember it!

It's like graduating from the college entrance examination. You know that you have studied well and did well in the exam. However, when you think about it carefully, you find that you have completely forgotten what content was written on which page of the textbook!

I can’t even remember the questions from the college entrance examination!

Doesn’t this mean he has become a college student? !

Li Hao was shocked.

In this case, he has to start practicing again?

Seeing the shocked look on Li Hao's face, Li Xiaoran immediately knew that Li Hao had tried it, smiled slightly, and whispered:

"Don't panic. In the early stage, you need to practice again on your own. But as your practice level gets higher and higher, the obstacles to you from this special rule will be reduced, and then you will slowly be able to comprehend some of the original Tao." "

"In other words, the faster you practice on your own, the more your previously sealed practice memories will be revealed, and your practice speed will increase again in the future!"

"Otherwise, if you really start practicing again, in just a dozen years, not counting the acceleration of sleep time in the middle, reaching the realm of gods and humans will already be the limit, and then this river of death will become a place with no solution."

Li Hao was slightly relieved when he heard this, and his mind was spinning. He didn't know if he could continue to absorb experience through the panel here.

With a thought in his heart, he called out the panel.

The fonts in front of my eyes jumped, and the panel really appeared.

Li Hao was pleasantly surprised, but in an instant he was dumbfounded. This panel was cleaner than his face, just like when he first traveled through time.

"Could it be that my original panels, which were in my original body, are now in this new body?"

Li Hao thought in his mind that the Minghe River and the panel were both weird and difficult to explain. If they were put together, it would be impossible to come up with the result.

But the panel was still there, which made him secretly relieved.

Without the panel, although he would not become useless, he might not be able to practice as fast on his own.

After all, reaching the ultimate realm that day was entirely based on his own perception, which shows that his understanding of martial arts is quite good.

"Besides, don't go out of the General's Mansion at night, as demons may attack you at any time outside."

Li Xiaoran warned again: "Although this is the Divine General's Mansion, it is in Dragon City. Most of the things in this dying river are the evolution of my elder brother's obsession, so there will be some incredible current situations. You see Don’t be too surprised.”

"Dragon City is not safe. I will come to visit you often. You can sleep a few more times first and quickly progress to your foundation building and body refining before embarking on the path of cultivation."

"You don't have to worry. When you fast forward in sleep, my time is normal. I will pass day by day, but you will feel that it is a few months later in the blink of an eye."

Li Hao nodded. The fourth master said many things in detail, which showed that he was a thoughtful person.

Li Xiaoran said a few more words of concern, then let Li Hao rest and left the room.

After he left, Li Hao thought for a moment and wanted to find a chessboard, pen and ink, etc. He accumulated experience in the early stage of painting very quickly. It was not as safe in the Ming River as in the real courtyard outside. He should paint instead. Start with poetry first.

But to write poetry, you at least need to be able to speak first.

Soon, Li Hao discovered that he could not even walk now.

With a wry smile, Li Hao lay down, planning to sleep until he could walk.

…

When Li Hao opened his eyes again from his deep sleep, he immediately felt that his body had regained a lot of vitality and his whole body became more energetic.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he heard knocking sounds in his ears. He looked up and saw the warm sunshine shining over him. This was a courtyard.

Looking at the courtyard, it was the Qinglian Courtyard where the grandmother lived.

It was also in that courtyard that he broke up with the nominal father.

Li Hao's eyes changed slightly. Now seeing this courtyard again, his thoughts could not help but be drawn back for a moment, but he quickly gathered them back in time.

Compared with the Qinglian Courtyard in reality, the walls here seemed to be newer at this moment, and the sound of knocking came from the courtyard.

Li Hao looked and saw four boys fighting each other in the courtyard, and the weapons they used were all made of wood.

They were about three to seven years old.

And he himself was lying in the arms of a noble lady, who was the grandmother, Chen Hefang.

"Shilang, watch your brothers' training carefully. In the future, you must become strong like them and defend your country."

Chen Hefang saw Li Hao wake up, whispered softly and smiled, with a motherly tenderness on her face.

Li Hao was slightly stunned, and the grandmother outside the Dead River appeared in his mind.

Six of the nine sons of the Li family died in the battle. The other party was a vegetarian and a Buddhist. His hair had already turned silver. Later, he only hoped that his children would live a safe life.

Li Hao was silent for a moment, looking at the four boys in the field. The youngest of them was only about three years old, but he walked and stood very steadily. He was waving a stick beside him, and his eyebrows and eyes looked very lively.

The three older children in the field were fighting each other.

Duh!

A wooden sword was chopped down, and the back of the older child's hand retracted in pain, and he said unhappily:

"Tian Gang, you are cheating again!"
