In the distance, several figures sped toward them, sensing the unfamiliar presence of Li Hao. Among them were Ji Daoxin and Ji Qingyuan.
When an unfamiliar Grand Tao of Peace Realm suddenly appeared at the top of Saint Mountain, everyone was surprised and astounded. Now seeing the young man surrounded by the people of Ji Tian Chao, they were even more stunned. They also heard the words that ca out of Li Hao's mouth.
After a brief mont of bewildernt, they hurried over and stopped just outside the crowd. Ji Daoxin examined Li Hao and said in surprise,
"You ca out of the abyss yourself? Did you climb out on your own?"
Li Hao looked at this family head and nodded slightly as a greeting.
The other mbers of the Ji Family hurriedly bowed deeply upon seeing Ji Daoxin.
Ji Qingyuan also scrutinized Li Hao. A trace of shock flickered in his eyes. The young man no longer carried any trace of the Ji family's essence, but he possessed an ethereal and transcendent aura, seemingly even more formidable and terrifying than before.
The power of the bloodline was sothing every offspring of the Ji family aspired to for their entire lives.
Yet this young man had forsaken that bloodline.
This gave him a complex and indescribable feeling, as if sothing he had desperately chased since childhood had been casually discarded by another youth, who, after shedding it, did not beco despondent but instead ventured even higher and further.
"Child, how can you be so foolish..."
"Though it was your parents' fault, you are still a descendant of our Ji family!"
Ji Yunqing's face turned pale, struggling to accept this heavy blow.
The young man had severed the bloodline of the Ji family; had they not lost him forever now?
Li Hao remained silent, watching the mournful cries around him. Seeing their sad expressions added pain to his heart too, but he knew that breakage inevitably brought pain; it was a necessary process.
"There's no need for sorrow; just pretend you never t ."
Li Hao said calmly.
At his words, Ji Yun Yue and others beca even more sorrowful.
Having seen splendid fireworks, how could one forget that brilliance?
Had they never t Li Hao, they naturally wouldn't feel this pain, but now that they had, the mories couldn't be erased nor could ti flow backward, hence the agony.
Ji Daoxin too understood what had happened. Although he didn't know how Li Hao had climbed out of the abyss or how his appearance changed so drastically, there was no doubt that sothing incredible had occurred to Li Hao, perhaps even breaking through into a higher major realm.
They also knew the young man's age from the information previously brought from the Dayu Divine Dynasty.
Counting the days, he was barely sixteen, missing a month.
And yet, he was in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm!
His cultivation records had now surpassed all of the Ji family's history of ten thousand years,
even unheard of in the entire Great Wilderness Heaven for soone so young to be in the Grand Tao of Peace Realm!
After all, the leap from the Ultimate Study Realm to the Grand Tao of Peace Realm was an imnsely deep threshold.
"Do you truly intend to leave our Ji family?"
Ji Daoxin couldn't help asking, his heart also filled with sorrow at this mont.
With Li Hao's cultivation, he had previously broken the Dao Domain in the Three Immortal Realms, and now he probably could dominate the Grand Tao of Peace Realm, arguably invincible beneath the Heavenly Dao.
Such combat power, to say he was the strongest Dao Seed prodigy of the Ji family in ten thousand years wasn't an exaggeration.
Now, were they to lose him forever?
Others also tried to persuade him, all wore mournful expressions.
Li Hao looked up at Ji Daoxin, did not answer, but asked, "I no longer carry the Ji family bloodline; if I remain, can I still be considered a Dao Seed?"
Ji Daoxin was montarily stunned by the young man's question, hesitated, about to say yes, but then paused.
Now Li Hao had no Ji family bloodline in him, fundantally no longer a Ji person, how could he still undertake the role of the Ji family's Dao Seed?
In the past, he would never even have contemplated such a question, certainly impossible, but now, this young man was once a Ji, and such a situation had never before occurred in the Ji family.
"If you..."
Ji Daoxin faltered, about to respond, but Li Hao had already shaken his head, saying,
"Let's depart on good terms, with dignity for both sides."
Ji Daoxin shuddered, looking into the young man's calm eyes, he suddenly understood that he couldn't persuade him any longer.
"Child, you haven't truly enjoyed being part of the Ji family; you owe us, give us a chance to make ands!"
Ji Yun Yue, grasping Li Hao's hand, said in sorrow.
Li Hao shook his head slightly, saying, "The favor of letting go above the abyss, I rember it. In the future, should there be an opportunity, I could lend you a hand once."
"That's no favor; I was the one holding you back, letting go was rely right, and in the end, I couldn't even help you..."
"Two different matters, so people wouldn't let go even facing death, whether help arrives or not is the outco, the intention to help matters, and I acknowledge that."
Li Hao explained.
Hearing Li Hao take such a seemingly trivial matter so seriously, Ji Yun Yue felt even harder to restrain her sorrow.
Considering her own act of letting go as a favor, how much disappointnt and neglect had this child faced from his parents to compel him to sever the bloodline!
"Child, your parents were always at war and couldn't be with you; give your grandaunt a chance to take care of you, okay?"
Ji Yun Yue pleaded, still wanting to keep Li Hao, even though he now had no Ji family bloodline; in her eyes, he was still her grandnephew.
Li Hao felt his forr grandaunt's intentions, smiled slightly, his eyes filled with understanding and tranquility:
"Since childhood, I have been alone, caring for the generations of stars, and going forward, it will be the sa."
