Follow the path of Dao from infancy

Chapter 1442  Chapter 347: Monsters Gather

When they arrived at the Forget Heart Hall halfway up the mountain, Li Hao and the group from the mountain summit drew immediate attention from those who hadn’t reached the peak.

Among them, many recognized Li Hao, as he had previously lingered at the bottom of the top thousand ranking, and his feat of fishing up an Immortal Monarch realm Dragon Clan member in the Dao Pavilion left a deep impression.

“The group around him, they’re all in the Immortal Monarch realm!”

“Did he reach the summit?”

Many looked at Li Hao in surprise and doubt, not expecting this young man to truly reach the summit and earn a spot with his own strength.

In the crowd, the green-dressed girl and her companions had already gathered at the Forget Heart Hall. Seeing Li Hao return, their expressions changed slightly, looking a bit displeased.

If Li Hao had ascended and won a spot, they would meet in the subsequent contests.

“It’s a pity, he’s in the True Immortal realm. If he were in the Immortal Monarch realm, I could handle him.”

Beside her, a young man from the same sect said.

He was in the Immortal Monarch realm but lacked the Dao Heart, failing to reach the summit.

“This boy previously reached ninth in the Tao Fire ranking, truly a rare formidable opponent in the True Immortal realm,” another fellow disciple said gravely.

“Hmph, he’s too flamboyant and likes to show off. Others will be watching him, so we just shouldn’t clash with him head-on,” said another True Immortal disciple.

At this moment, Li Hao and the others had already entered the Forget Heart Hall.

Li Hao could clearly feel the numerous gazes focused on him, including those from the True Immortal realm individuals at the summit.

At this time, the Immortal Guard Commander spoke, instructing those who failed the trial to leave the mountain.

As the other disciples from halfway down the mountain began to descend, the Immortal Guard Commander then said:

“Congratulations, after passing two trials, you are the top prodigies of our Southern Domain. Next is the final battle of the Southern Domain, to determine the ultimate peak!”

“This contest will give you the chance to fully showcase your abilities. Those in the True Immortal group who make it to the top ten will earn the opportunity to enter the Primordial True Realm!”

“The contest will take place three days hence on the Emperor Platform. Use this time to rest well and make your final preparations!”

Upon hearing the Immortal Guard Commander’s words, everyone’s expressions grew serious. They had traveled billions of miles, across countless distances, all for this final battle.

“Is the contest finally starting? So many prodigies before, yet only a thousand remain now.”

“I feel like those eliminated prodigies could each take on ten thousand, and in my Immortal City, they’re top-notch monsters.”

“Not just in your Immortal City, those eliminated prodigies are top-notch monsters chosen from over a hundred Immortal Cities, it’s just unfortunate there are so many prodigies this time!”

Throughout the various Immortal Dynasties of the Southern Domain, countless people were filled with excitement and emotion.

As the Immortal Guard Commander’s words ended, the Wenda Mountain trial also closed, and Li Hao and the others were transported out of the Forget Heart Hall and Wenda Mountain by a force.

The Great Dream Master, along with Old Man Li and various Abyss elders, came to welcome Li Hao and the others, escorting them to their own Immortal Domain.

“You have three days’ time, rest well and prepare for battle!”

The Great Dream Master looked at Li Hao, his eyes gentle, then addressed Li Hao and several other disciples.

This time in the Nine Abysses, besides the disciples of Sword Abyss, it was the disciples of Spear Abyss that were most numerous. Apart from three Immortal Monarch realm ones certainly able to participate in the Immortal Monarch realm group battle, the True Immortal realm also had nine, which was quite a significant number!

Besides Li Hao in the Sword Abyss, there were Yue Xi and Gu Yan, taking a third of the spots.

The Spear Abyss also had two people selected.

In other abysses, some disciples were eliminated early, with no one selected, which was a bit awkward.

But concerning this outcome, the Great Dream Master was extremely satisfied, as aside from the number of disciples, the quality was more important. Li Hao’s performance allowed her to see hope of breaking into the top ten. If he could enter the Primordial True Realm for cultivation, Li Hao’s future would be even brighter, and he would definitely achieve the King Realm, perhaps even reaching very high within the King Realm.

Every level’s gap in the King Realm is vast, as is their status; the peak of the Immortal King Realm can govern a nation!

“Mm.”

The nine nodded one after another, and nearby, Yin Jingcheng, Meng Huaiyue, and Su Yechen also nodded, feeling significant pressure for the upcoming Immortal Monarch realm battle.

After all, they had just stepped into the Immortal Monarch realm, but during these two trials, they found that many others were already at the second or third level of the Immortal Monarch realm, some even more fearsome!

“Haotian, you performed well. Now many will certainly see you as a formidable rival, so you must also be cautious and not be careless in the contest.”

The Great Dream Master reminded Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

Seeing the sect master giving special attention, others looked at Li Hao with a bit of envy, but they also understood that Li Hao was indeed the hope of the sect, his performance far exceeding theirs.

After all, except for Li Hao, no one at the scene had reached the top of Wenda Mountain.

Even the nearby Yin Jingcheng and the three Immortal Monarch realm individuals failed to climb it.

“Let’s go.”

At this moment, Emperor Chu, sitting on the clouds, stood up and waved his hand, commanding the Yan and Chu Royal Family and various sects to leave and rest.

Li Hao spotted Lin Qingyue, who was with the crowd from Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower. They exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s intent within their gazes, awaiting their reunion after three days.

As the various Immortal Dynasties left, the area outside Wenda Mountain became tranquil.

The golden mist at the mountain’s peak drifted down slowly, enveloping the Wenda Hall at the summit, as silent and serene as the ancient ages.

…

Li Hao and the others arrived at the courtyard arranged by the Heavenly Palace for some rest.

Various Immortal Dynasties were allocated different lodgings, so as not to disturb one another.

Li Hao gave the two Xuanming Dragon Immortals he had previously fished up to the Great Dream Master, saying, “Sect Master, I noticed your Painting Realm was missing something, these Dragon Clan members could be nurtured.”

“Indeed, they can serve as creatures of the pool.”
