Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1730 Chapter 438: The Disciple Has Not Failed You_3
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Yet... how was it possible for that youth to master 21 Chaos Laws within a mere century?
Trembling violently, he felt a chilling dread seep deep into his heart.
"This is critical; I must report this to the Original Immortal Emperor immediately!"
He steeled his resolve, his teeth clenched tight. "Master, you cannot lay the blame on me. It is only because the legacy you left behind never reached me, leaving our fates disconnected. Had it been otherwise, I would have located your Reincarnated Body and inherited your teachings long ago. I could have secured the most perfect bloodline and vessel for you, even if it required seizing the reincarnation itself. This truly isn't my fault!"
He continued to mutter these justifications to himself. After repeating that he wasn't to blame dozens of times, he suddenly slammed his clenched fist into the earth. His eyes turned bloodshot as tears began to fall:
"Master, I haven't failed you! I haven't failed you!!"
...
Within the Chaos Dao arena, the trials raged on.
The Dark Side Avatar faced opponents who had refined 21 Chaos Laws, engaging in battles that shook the very foundation of the world. Ultimately, the Dark Side Avatar emerged victorious, signaling Li Hao's undeniable ascent within the Primordial True Realm.
While Li Hao was previously seen as a sudden, peerless genius for comprehending 69 stars in a single day, he had now transformed into a true overlord capable of dominating his own territory!
Though 69 stars are an incredible feat, such a level only ranks within the third tier of the Immortal Monarch Realm in terms of actual combat power.
This ranking, of course, applies to the standards of the Primordial True Realm; in the ordinary True Realm, such power would be the absolute peak of a domain.
Now, by defeating a Dark Side Avatar with 21 Chaos Laws, his combat strength has soared into the elite tier of the Immortal Monarch Realm. He is no longer a "juvenile" whom others can easily look down upon or provoke, but a figure who has reached full maturity!
Following this triumph, the Chaos challenges aimed at Li Hao abruptly ended, and no new challengers stepped forward.
After all, someone who has refined 21 Chaos Laws is not a target for the average person to offend. When the gap in strength is so vast, a challenge results in an instantaneous loss, leaving the challenger with no opportunity to even gain experience.
It must be understood that when an avatar is destroyed, it still impacts the original body, even if it isn't as brutal as a physical deathmatch. In a place where everyone is desperately competing to advance, any injury or delay means falling behind—it is a choice between progressing or retreating!
While the outside world was swept up in a wave of shock, the small courtyard on Extreme Dao Mountain remained quiet.
Several messages arrived in Li Hao's Jade Token from Di Lingshu, Gu Mofan, and his other senior brothers. All were stunned by his growth. Despite being personal disciples of the Immortal Emperor and geniuses in their own right, they found Li Hao's pace terrifying!
Even a talent as legendary as Di Wushè required over two centuries to begin refining Chaos Laws. Li Hao had mastered 21 in just a hundred years, creating a disparity that defied comparison.
"Little junior brother, is it true? Have you really refined 21 Chaos Laws?"
Di Lingshu’s voice carried a complex whirlwind of emotions. Even with her resilient Dao heart, she felt shaken. While she didn't doubt her own path, her fundamental understanding of Cultivation seemed to have been shattered.
Rumors outside claimed Li Hao was the reincarnation of a Great Emperor, but the disciples knew his soul age made that impossible—unless the Master was intentionally hiding the truth. But why would he?
The point of a secret is to keep it hidden, yet with Li Hao’s current display, everyone was already suspecting he was a Great Emperor. Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of concealment?
"Yes," Li Hao replied with a nod. "Senior sister, you must also train hard. In two hundred years, we will meet in the Endless Heavenly Domain to look out for one another."
Di Lingshu’s lip twitched at his words. Look out for each other? It was more likely he would be the one protecting her!
She was left speechless. As the senior sister who had joined the Sect three centuries before him, she had been overtaken by this junior—and by a massive margin at that!
"Just wait, I'll catch up to you!"
In a fit of competitive spirit, Di Lingshu cut off the Divine Sense connection with the Jade Token and immediately threw herself back into Cultivation.
No matter how monstrous Li Hao's talent was, he would have to wait for her at the peak before entering the Endless Heavenly Domain. Once the ceiling of a realm is reached, progress slows, forcing those who arrive early to wait for the others to reach the finish line.
Li Hao gave a small laugh. He briefly spoke with his other senior brothers, feeling slightly bashful at their praise and shock. After all, they relied on their own hard work, while he had "taken a different path."
"Two centuries remain... it is time to begin understanding the Thirteen Stage Painting Realm."
Li Hao reflected silently.
He looked toward Shi Miao, his spirits lifting. Suddenly, two hundred years didn't feel like such a long time anymore.
