But Hidden Bow’s effect is doubled, and the chance of activation is a hundred percent.
However, this is only one percent, pitifully small.
But that phrase “fatal effect” seems to let one’s imagination wander.
Does it mean that, regardless of realm and defense, once hit, there is a one percent chance of instant kill?
If that’s the case, then the effect of this famous painting is a bit terrifying.
However, after giving it some thought, Li Hao felt that something was amiss; the effect seemed somewhat unimpressive.
Against those of a lower realm, they could be easily killed with a flick of the hand, without needing its fatal effect.
If facing those of a higher realm, they could easily see through his attack, making it hard to conceal.
Unless it was during an intense battle where they failed to notice him and he was able to launch a surprise attack.
But such opportunities for a sneak attack were rare, and even if one did occur, the 1% chance was too slim, and to actually strike would consume an outrageous amount of luck—so much so that he would need to be extra careful when walking around, lest he accidentally trip and kill himself.
Nevertheless, no matter what, having an additional attribute was certainly better than none.
This extra power did not require his cultivation; it was as if he had picked it up for free.
When Song Qiumo saw Li Hao’s excited demeanor, she smiled and shared more good news:
“Besides these, I have also learned about the whereabouts of another famous painting. It is said to be in the hands of a Grandmaster.”
“Oh?”
On hearing this, Li Hao’s eyes immediately lit up, “Can it be purchased? What are their demands?”
“It’s just hearsay for now, I haven’t made contact with that Grandmaster yet. However, I’ve managed to track their movements; they should be heading to Dayue City in Liangzhou soon,” Song Qiumo said. “I heard that there was a grand event there recently. Hermit Tianji invited masters from all over the Great Yu Dynasty to discuss the Dao, and that Grandmaster is likely heading there for the event.”
“Grandmasters discussing the Dao?”
Li Hao was slightly surprised.
According to the interesting tales recorded in Listening Rain Tower, this was a grand event that occurred once every sixty years.
They invited Grandmasters from all over the world to corroborate Martial Arts.
These Grandmasters would also take their juniors along. Even if they merely listened in from outside, it greatly benefited their martial studies.
Most Grandmasters would seclude themselves in the mountains, focusing solely on cultivation and studying their own grand martial arts. It was only during these grand occasions that they would descend and exchange ideas in Martial Arts.
It is said that during the grand events of previous years, some extraordinary juniors, upon listening, would break open the Heavenly Gate on the spot and leap from the Fifteen Li Realm to becoming Grandmasters of the Tianren Sect, their fame spreading far and wide!
Each event never lacked one or two such juniors.
Therefore, in addition to the Grandmasters, those genius-level talents from the Fifteen Li Realm would also rush to the event after hearing the news.
“Dayue City is quite a distance from here. Even if we were to rush at full speed, it would take a day to go there and back…” Li Hao mused.
Song Qiumo said, “That Dayue City has city formations. Although I have a pass issued by the Great Yu Dynasty, it only applies within Qingzhou. I can move among the cities of Qingzhou freely, but for Liangzhou, I need to register and undergo verification at the provincial office, and I’ll need Song Yufeng to vouch for me.”
Li Hao knew that Song Qiumo couldn’t handle this herself.
Registration and verification were quite time-consuming processes.
Especially for a Four Stands Realm Great Demon King, the states were exceedingly cautious.
After all, once a pass was issued and they were allowed into the city, if the Great Demon King suddenly went on a killing spree, it would swiftly destroy the city.
The news of the city’s destruction might not even be reported before the Great Demon King could rampage elsewhere, causing consecutive destructions, inflicting great damage on the entire province.
Moreover, the nobility within the city were extremely averse to such matters.
A Great Demon King was like a tiger let out of its cage; even if you’re told it won’t hurt people, no one would be willing to take the risk.
Li Hao looked at Li Hongzhuang and asked, “Elder Hongzhuang, could you make a trip to Dayue City for me?”
Li Hongzhuang hadn’t expected Li Hao to be so obsessed over a famous painting. But having watched him paint over the past few days, she could somewhat understand; her nephew seemed to have put all his thoughts into these unconventional practices, and he wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about cultivating.
Apart from that night, she hadn’t seen Li Hao cultivate since.
Despite possessing a terrifyingly fast cultivation speed, he had no interest in cultivation, yet his realm was still the highest among his peers; Li Hongzhuang could only say that it was as if the heavens were spoon-feeding Li Hao, forcibly stuffing the food into his mouth!
“I’m too lazy to make the trip. If you want it, why don’t you go yourself?” Li Hongzhuang said.
She had no interest in these famous paintings. During her childhood, she did enjoy them, even embroidering and copying them onto handkerchiefs.
But once she took up the sword, she never touched a needle again.
The only images in her eyes were the snowstorms beyond the Frontier Pass and the countless Demons she needed to slay.
Li Hao felt somewhat helpless, but after giving it some thought, he found the idea feasible.
In recent days, all the Demons within three hundred Li of the Frontier Pass had been annihilated by him.
Even the Demons further away seemed to be fleeing and hiding, with him catching only a few on each hunt.
Leaving this place for a few days wouldn’t make much difference.
“If you decide to go, I’ll look after this place for a few days,” Song Qiumo, lounging lazily on the plush fur-covered chair, said as she noticed Li Hao’s intentions.
Li Hao smiled, “Then I thank you in advance, Elder.”
Song Qiumo cast him a slight glare, seemingly dissatisfied with the term “Elder,” but she didn’t say anything.
With Song Qiumo looking after things, Li Hao felt at ease.
His effectiveness in this area was far less than hers.
He reasoned that these days’ lack of Demons was most likely due to the news of Song Qiumo’s battle with the Dragon Lord spreading among the Demons outside the pass, making them all aware that, although Heavenly Gate Pass was seemingly deserted with the old army gone, it was now more formidable than if an army had been stationed.
Without a Demon King personally taking the risk of a warrant to breach the pass, this place would remain unshakeable!
“Since that’s the case, Qianqian, prepare yourself, and accompany me to Dayue City. It seems there’s a Martial Temple there, and you can undergo Soul Succession as well,” Li Hao said as he stood up.
Ren Qianqian’s eyes sparkled as she quickly voiced her agreement.
Li Hao ruffled the little white fox’s head: “Now that you’ve also entered the Soul Succession Realm, I wonder where you should go for Soul Succession.”
