Chapter 263 Just kill him.
Jiang Hao looked at the chubby baby formed by Yuan Dao, a smile on his face: "It's quite cute."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, unable to suppress a smile.
Jiang Hao and the other two were all men who had lived through many years and were not usually amused.
Unless it's like the current situation.
Upon hearing this, the chubby boy Yuan Dao quickly wiped his face and tried his best to put on a serious expression.
But with his chubby figure and rosy face, he just doesn't look serious at all.
Yuan Dao could only spread his hands, then ran to Jiang Hao with his short legs, bowed and thanked him, saying, "Yuan Dao thanks the Heavenly Emperor for saving my life and giving me a second chance at life. I am deeply grateful!"
Then he turned to Lingbao and Yuanshi, expressing his gratitude: "Many thanks to the two Heavenly Venerables for their assistance. Your great kindness will be forever remembered!"
Yuan Dao felt incredibly lucky; thankfully, the Origin Realm had the Heavenly Emperor, otherwise he would have been crippled.
I still can't be too confident.
From now on, everything the Heavenly Emperor says will be true, and he will believe it and resolutely carry it out.
Lingbao Tianzun waved his hand: "You're welcome. You've turned misfortune into blessing."
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded: "With a divine embryo body, your foundation is pure. In the future, you will be more suitable for the path of immortality than with your original imperial body."
Jiang Hao looked at the chubby little boy kneeling on the ground and found it amusing.
A person who has become an emperor has now turned into the appearance of a three-year-old child; the contrast is indeed striking.
Jiang Hao asked with some curiosity.
How are you feeling now?
The chubby boy, Yuan Dao, carefully felt it: "It feels great, much better than that half-human, half-artifact state before!"
Although I need to start cultivating again, my foundation is more solid than before, and the connection with the Immortal-Slaying Gourd remains, so I can summon it at any time.
Jiang Hao nodded upon hearing this: "That's good. You've turned misfortune into blessing. Your foundation is now better than before. As long as you cultivate diligently in the future, it won't be difficult for you to attain enlightenment again."
With Yuan Dao's current foundation, as long as his opponents aren't too monstrous, such as Xiao Qinming and the Immortal Golden Saint Spirit, proving the Dao shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, it's not always the case, since having a good foundation isn't enough to achieve enlightenment.
A solid foundation and favorable fortune are both necessary, as are favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious relationships.
Throughout history, many who have attained enlightenment were not the most outstanding at the beginning, nor did they have the best foundation.
Many of them are the result of years of hard work and gradual accumulation. Those who have the best foundation and are most favored at the beginning are sometimes eliminated very early.
Proving one's path is a marathon; unless the gap between individuals is too large, everyone has a chance.
"Yes." Yuan Dao also nodded with a smile, he was very confident now.
He was originally an emperor, and this is just a second chance at life; the advantage is in my hands.
It's better to start now; there's no reason for us to lose.
After chatting for a while, Yuan Dao bid farewell to Jiang Hao and the other two.
"Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Venerables, I, Yuan Dao, will take my leave now. You three have shown me great kindness. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."
Yuan Dao is now going back to his original lake to see his wife and children.
Yes, although he's become like a child now.
Jiang Hao nodded. "Go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Dao took his short legs and headed towards the South Heavenly Gate.
The Immortal-Slaying Gourd transformed into a stream of light and fell into his arms.
The chubby little boy, carrying a gourd bigger than himself, struggled to adjust his posture and continued walking out with his short legs.
That back view looked a little comical, but also a little cute.
Watching him walk away, Lingbao Tianzun smiled and shook his head: "This Yuan Emperor is quite lucky, and he has a good attitude too."
Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said, "To be able to reach the Emperor Realm, one is no ordinary person. It's just that the path of combining the primordial spirit with the weapon is too unorthodox and has led to one's own downfall."
Fortunately, we met Fellow Daoist Jiang; otherwise, countless ages later, the heavens would only have one more spiritual imperial weapon and one less seeker of the Dao.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao also said, "His experience can serve as a reminder to future generations: there are countless paths to immortality, but some paths, though seemingly short, are actually dead ends."
The three of them looked away.
With a flick of his sleeve, Jiang Hao created an antique tea set on the table. Spring water flowed from the teapot, and a Daoist fire simmered beneath the stove. A few tea leaves, imbued with Daoist charm, fell into the teapot, and a delicate fragrance immediately filled the air.
"Fellow Daoists, please have a seat." Jiang Hao gestured with his hand. "You two have just emerged from seclusion, so it's a good opportunity to enjoy tea and discuss the Dao."
Jiang Hao originally planned to go to the Dao Xuan Realm on his own, but upon discovering the spiritual treasure, he learned that the two Heavenly Venerables, Yuan Shi and Yuan Shi, were about to return, so he waited for them.
Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun did not stand on ceremony and sat down on the stone bench.
The aroma of tea wafted through the air as the three sat facing each other.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable poured tea for the three of them with fluid, graceful movements. He looked at Jiang Hao and asked, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, during our seclusion, did anything interesting happen in the Origin Realm?"
Lingbao Tianzun also held a teacup and looked over calmly.
Jiang Hao took a sip of tea and began to briefly recount the events of the past tens of thousands of years.
When they heard that Jiang Hao had killed An Qiong, a True Immortal from another world, in the desolate star field, even the two Heavenly Venerables, Lingbao and Yuanshi, paused slightly in their cups.
A look of astonishment flashed in Lingbao Tianzun's eyes: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you actually killed a True Immortal?"
Yuanshi Tianzun put down his teacup, took a slow breath, and said with a tone of shock, "Still a direct descendant of a Celestial King's family?"
Jiang Hao smiled and nodded: "What a stroke of luck. His name is An Qiong, and he comes from the An family of the Supreme Saint Realm, a great enemy of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
Their clan's ancestor was a Celestial King. An Qiong crossed over to this realm with the aim of refining the Origin Realm to enhance his cultivation and to find his grandfather!
"Refining the Origin Realm? Searching for his grandfather?" Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes narrowed. Although his aura did not erupt, the air around the jade table seemed to instantly turn colder.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun usually appears gentle, he is extremely righteous and hates evil, and he can be quite ferocious when fighting!
"An Qiong's grandfather was the immortal who severely injured me back then?"
"Yes, that's how it should be, according to An Qiong." Jiang Hao nodded.
Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent for a moment, then lightly tapped the table with his jade-like fingers, his voice deepening:
"So, this feud was formed as early as the mythical era. Back then, that mysterious immortal regarded us as prey, as ants. Now, his descendants want to carry out the act of destroying and refining this world!"
When Yuanshi Tianzun spoke of this, his eyes flashed with murderous intent. Then, he looked at Jiang Hao with admiration in his eyes:
"Fortunately, you are here in the Origin Realm, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. However, by killing An Qiong, you have forged a deep-seated enmity with a Celestial King family, and the An family will certainly not let this go."
Jiang Hao smiled calmly and picked up his teacup: "It's better to have more debts than to be burdened with them. If they dare to come again, just kill them."
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he slowly nodded, saying in a deep voice:
"Well done! The humiliation of the past is still vivid in my mind. Now that you have set this precedent, it proves that immortals are not invincible. Very good."
A cold smile appeared on Yuanshi Tianzun's face, clearly indicating that he had not forgotten the old grudges.
Then, Jiang Hao brought up the reappearance of the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin and his own experience of entering it.
Lingbao Tianzun raised an eyebrow slightly: "Nine dragons pulling a coffin? This legendary object has actually reappeared in the world, and you even went inside?"
His tone carried a hint of surprise, but when he looked at Jiang Hao, it turned into a matter of course.
"But that makes sense. If you are not destined to enter, then probably no one in all the heavens and myriad realms will have such a destiny."
