Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1843 Chapter 487: Preliminary Test Results (Part 3)

With the resounding chime from the Heaven Tower echoing above, Li Hao showed no delay and decided to push forward with the trial.

Meanwhile, at the summit of the Heaven Tower.

Both the Star Empress and the Immortal Immortal Emperor found themselves taken aback.

They had observed the various displays inside the Heaven Tower, spotting several standout figures from the major clans that drew their interest.

Yet, a subtle moment from the lowest level caught them off guard.

"Double Realm?"

"Yes, the Double Realm truly exist side by side!"

Shock rippled through them as they grasped the implications.

A nascent Emperor Road was forming, and that youth at the First Level of Immortal King Realm was forging a separate route. Should he succeed in walking it, it would solidify into the Emperor Road!

But across all of history, no one had ever triumphed on this route. Innumerable attempts had ended in failure, including their own. Success would have mirrored the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's secondary Emperor Road.

Incredibly, this young man was now venturing onto this Emperor Dao.

Was it under his master's tutelage, or through his personal discovery?

"Two realms, separate yet harmoniously coexisting."

With a flick of her hand, the Star Empress summoned the replay of Li Hao's combat scenes from the Heaven Tower, letting them unfold gradually before her. She scrutinized every detail, from the way he unleashed his immortal power to each nuance of his expressions during the fights.

"Coexistence of two supreme realms—such a gifted prodigy. Rumors of this youth causing massive upheavals in the Primordial True Realm hold true; he clearly has exceptional qualities."

The Immortal Immortal Emperor murmured softly.

Having isolated himself for countless years, he had, upon returning, swiftly compiled reports on key events spanning nearly ten millennia to stay informed.

"It's unfortunate his cultivation level remains so modest, but I hope he advances swiftly. He shows real promise to vie for the True King's aide, rising to vice commander!"

The Star Empress murmured, marking the youth as a strong prospect in her scheme for the True King selection.

"He just achieved his kingly breakthrough, and now he's probing the Emperor Road. Regrettably, it's merely the initial phase; fully realizing it demands control over six or seven Realm Hearts at once, all coexisting."

The Immortal Immortal Emperor remarked.

Though the youth's grasp of the Emperor Road was remarkable, it marked only the start. The path ahead grew increasingly arduous. Elites from prestigious clans could soar to the Quasi-Emperor Realm with ease, yet many stalled for tens of thousands of years at the Emperor Road's end, even with counsel from numerous Immortal Emperors and lessons from their clan's Emperors, all to no effect.

Refining the Emperor Dao depended entirely on one's own efforts.

"Quick, look—the Emperor Clan has just cleared the 100th floor. They live up to their status as the True Realm's premier clan."

The Star Empress exclaimed abruptly.

At once, both Immortal Emperors directed their focus to the mid-to-lower sections of the Heaven Tower.

In the meantime, two silhouettes appeared nearly at the same instant outside the Heaven Tower.

Luo Ningshuang glanced back, catching sight of her name and projection streaking by as she finished the 36th floor.

This marked her achievement in the Heaven Tower.

During her debut attempt, she had spared no expense, igniting her True God Blood and depleting Ancestor Emperor Power, yet her ceiling stood at the 36th floor.

Luo Ningshuang felt a mix of letdown and quiet contentment with this outcome. She reckoned that for someone at the First Level of Immortal King Realm, clearing the 30th floor already counted as remarkable.

Sensing the presence nearby, Luo Ningshuang turned to find it was her fellow sect member, Su Wanyi.

Su Wanyi also averted her eyes from the Heaven Tower. She had glimpsed her own result, and at the 36th floor, she spotted her senior sister's projection lingering, showing they had tied at that level.

"Junior sister, that's impressive—the Su Family truly deserves its reputation as a powerhouse in the Northern Domain."

Luo Ningshuang arched her brows faintly, her tone even.

Though Su Wanyi had half-expected it, witnessing her senior sister match her score stirred a quiet sigh within her. She steadied herself promptly and replied with composure, "Senior sister did well too."

As she said this, her eyes drifted to spot other known figures nearby.

She had already noted plenty of peers from the Immortal Monarch Realm; excluding the young man, numerous disciples from the Chaos Clan under the Original Immortal Emperor had arrived as well.

Before long, she picked out some recognizable faces positioned beyond the tower, eyeing the elevations where their projections floated on the relevant floors of the Heaven Tower further down.

Observing that most lingered around the twenties section, Su Wanyi breathed easier. As her master had explained, the might of Ancestor Emperor Power created a clear divide in the Immortal King Realm—even peak talents with superior gifts couldn't rival the Ancestor Emperor Power coursing through her veins.

This was the legacy of antiquity.

"Hmm?"

She scanned the area but failed to locate Li Hao, her brows furrowing lightly.

Perhaps he was locked in a fierce struggle against his foe, advancing at a snail's pace, and thus hadn't exited yet?

Having tackled the ascent herself, she knew the escalating challenges of each floor and doubted Li Hao could breach thirty floors, let alone exceed her own mark.

Even with his command of supreme realms, against a Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm adversary, those realms would shatter like fragile parchment in an instant.

"That fellow still hasn't shown up—maybe he's lingering inside?"

Luo Ningshuang checked around, also realizing the young man from the Immortal Monarch Realm—who had once dominated many personal disciples of Immortal Emperors in the Primordial True Realm—remained absent.
