"Crack."

A crisp sound echoed in everyone's ears.

Luo Yang, the dignified number one expert of the outer sect, was sent flying backward.

His arm was twisted into a grotesque shape.

Defeated.

Luo Yang was utterly crushed!

"What?"

Seeing Luo Yang's miserable defeat, the other nine were all shocked.

They knew perfectly well who Luo Yang was.

To injure Luo Yang this severely, even if they teamed up, they wouldn't be able to.

But Luo Yang was indeed defeated.

"Swish, swish, swish."

Jiang Hao didn't stop. His figure flickered slightly, and he employed Shrink Step Into Inch, quickly arriving beside these outer sect disciples.

Then it was simple.

One punch each, no one could block Jiang Hao's punch.

Before, they didn't understand why Luo Yang had been defeated so miserably.

But after facing Jiang Hao's attack directly, they understood.

Strength!

Jiang Hao's strength was simply terrifying.

Not only was his Hidden Force extremely vicious and impossible to guard against, but his Manifest Force was utterly despair-inducing.

"The true meaning of Fierce Tiger Fist! It's definitely the true meaning of Fierce Tiger Fist!"

"Another perfected martial skill. Fierce Tiger Fist is the epitome of hardness and yang. Its ultimate move, Tiger Roar Mountain Forest, can amplify one's strength by fifty percent. But looking at Jiang Hao, it's more than a fifty percent increase?"

"A Hidden Force martial artist, possessing two perfected martial skills? No wonder he could clear the ninth level of the Desolate Heaven Tower. This kind of talent absolutely deserves the title of prodigy!"

"A prodigy! How long has it been since our Huangtian Sect produced a true prodigy?"

The elders were extremely excited.

They knew more information than the outer sect disciples, so they naturally understood what it meant for Jiang Hao to master two perfected-level martial skills.

Not only were the elders excited, but even the Sect Master, Yuan Wentian, was somewhat surprised.

He had thought Jiang Hao would need to rely on Divine Blood to defeat the top ten outer sect disciples.

As it turned out, he didn't need to display the power of Divine Blood at all. Merely relying on two perfected-level martial skills was enough to easily crush the top ten outer sect disciples.

This was something Yuan Wentian hadn't known before.

However, Yuan Wentian was even happier.

Jiang Hao was the future "Seed of the Dao" he had personally recognized.

The stronger Jiang Hao performed and the higher his talent, the more glory it brought to Yuan Wentian.

"Good! Are there any who are unconvinced?"

Yuan Wentian asked.

The ten outer sect disciples exchanged glances. Looking at Jiang Hao's youthful face, they all shook their heads and respectfully bowed to Jiang Hao, "Greetings, Senior Disciple Brother!"

This confirmed Jiang Hao's title as "Senior Disciple Brother."

They were all genuinely convinced!

"Alright, go down and treat your injuries."

Yuan Wentian waved his hand, and some deacons stepped forward to escort the injured disciples away.

Jiang Hao had not used lethal force; he had held back appropriately, as it was merely a spar.

He still had to lead the top ten disciples to participate in the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, so they couldn't be too severely injured.

Afterward, Yuan Wentian and the eyes of the various elders all fell upon Jiang Hao.

Their gazes revealed admiration.

"Jiang Hao, you have done very well."

"Come, pay your respects to the elders."

Jiang Hao bowed to the elders.

The elders all showed kind smiles.

Although they were elders, each of them was a Grandmaster.

However, their chances of Entering the Dao were already extremely slim.

But Jiang Hao was different.

He was a proper "Seed of the Dao," and without any accidents, he would definitely be able to Enter the Dao in the future.

The elders had no doubt about this after seeing Jiang Hao master two martial arts at the perfect level.

"Jiang Hao, come with me."

Yuan Wentian brought Jiang Hao to a cave dwelling.

The two sat facing each other.

"Jiang Hao, you are more outstanding than this seat imagined! You actually defeated the top ten outer disciples using only Fierce Tiger Fist and Moon Chasing Footwork, without even needing to use Divine Blood or the Sacred Body."

"Did you encounter any difficulties when you comprehended the true meaning of Fierce Tiger Fist and Moon Chasing Footwork? The true meanings of these two martial arts are completely different, even unrelated."

Yuan Wentian asked with a solemn expression.

Jiang Hao thought for a moment and then replied, "I didn't encounter any difficulties in comprehending the true meanings. However, the true meaning of Moon Chasing Footwork seems to be a bit more profound."

Yuan Wentian nodded upon hearing this. "Indeed, Moon Chasing Footwork is more profound. This footwork was created by the former Moon Chasing Dao Lord, so it is naturally unfathomable."

"Moon Chasing Dao Lord?"

Jiang Hao had never heard of him.

"You are not even a Grandmaster yet, so you cannot come into contact with experts who have Entered the Dao. The Moon Chasing Dao Lord was a great existence."

Jiang Hao couldn't help but ask, "How does he compare to the master of the Desolate Heaven Tower?"

"..."

Yuan Wentian shook his head. "The master of the Desolate Heaven Tower cannot be compared. In fact, the master of the Desolate Heaven Tower is very mysterious. Even our Ancestor did not know who the master of the Desolate Heaven Tower was or what a magnificent existence they were."

"However, the Desolate Heaven Tower is beneficial to geniuses. According to the Ancestor's speculation, the master of the Desolate Heaven Tower has already perished, and they left behind the Desolate Heaven Tower only to select geniuses and pass on their legacy."

"I know that the Desolate Heaven Tower is divided into several stages of trials, and you have only passed the first stage so far. You must strive to pass the second stage of the trials when you reach Pill Force."

Jiang Hao asked, "Sect Master, since the Huangtian Sect was established, has anyone passed the second stage of the Desolate Heaven Tower's trials?"

Jiang Hao knew that some people had passed the first stage of the trials.

But he was unsure about the second stage.

"No."

"The astonishingly talented geniuses in the history of the Huangtian Sect have only managed to pass the first stage of the trials."

Jiang Hao's heart trembled.

The Huangtian Sect had a very long history.

As a result, not a single person had passed the second stage of the Desolate Heaven Tower's trials.

Jiang Hao vaguely felt that the second stage of the trials was probably no small matter.

If he cultivated to Pill Force and the Great Sun Battle Sacred Body was in its infancy, it would probably only grant him the qualification to attempt the second stage of the trials.

"Jiang Hao, there are some records left by the geniuses in the sect who have passed the second stage of the Desolate Heaven Tower. Some of their insights might be useful to you."

"Those geniuses have roughly summarized a few points: you must strengthen your bloodline and make your bloodline power strong. You must cultivate powerful martial arts, and they must be at the perfect level of Pill Force martial arts. Finally, there is the Sacred Body; you must try to improve your Sacred Body as much as possible."

"Only by achieving these three points is it possible to pass the second stage of the Desolate Heaven Tower's trials."

Jiang Hao firmly remembered these words.

This was the "experience" of the geniuses of the Huangtian Sect.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Jiang Hao also knew that this was information the Sect Master was deliberately giving him.

"Jiang Hao, you are a disciple of my Huangtian Sect, the future 'Seed of the Dao,' so my Huangtian Sect will naturally give you strong support."

"This seat is also aware of the conflict between you and Leng Yue. However, due to sect rules, I cannot directly intervene."

"But rest assured, the sect has already warned Leng Yue not to use underhanded tactics outside of the rules."

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

This was somewhat unexpected.

Thinking about it now, Leng Yue seemed to have done nothing other than act like a turtle hiding in its shell.

Jiang Hao had thought it was because Leng Yue didn't dare.

But now it seemed the sect had intervened.

Underhanded tactics could not be used.

This point was extremely important.

The sect was clearly protecting him, a genius, with great effort.

"However, while underhanded tactics cannot be used, the sect will not interfere with other righteous and aboveboard methods."

"For example, the Seven Sects Alliance is being held in Great Gan this time, hosted by the Great Gan Imperial Family. If Leng Yue wants to cause trouble, she will arrange more powerful opponents for you during the competition. But that's all."

Jiang Hao understood.

"Sect Master, rest assured. For the honor of the sect, no matter who the opponent is, this disciple will defeat them one by one."

"However, this disciple has a small request. I wonder if the Sect Master would grant it?"

"What request?"

"If this disciple suppresses the other six sects and wins first place in the Grand Competition, can my Master Zhao Heita's lineage return to the Huangtian Sect?" Jiang Hao said.

"Zhao family's lineage..."

Yuan Wentian pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, the Zhao family's lineage wasn't a major issue back then. It was just that an ancestor of the Zhao family who had Entered the Dao committed some mistakes, but that ancestor has already been punished."

"However, this matter involves another ancestor who has Entered the Dao, which is why the Zhao family's lineage could not return to the Huangtian Sect."

"But if you become a Seed of the Dao one day, then there will be no problem."

Jiang Hao's eyes lit up.

"Seed of the Dao?"

Jiang Hao remembered that Yuan Wentian had made him a promise: if he could reach Transforming Force within ten years, he would become the Huangtian Sect's 'Seed of the Dao'.

"To let the Zhao family's lineage return to the Huangtian Sect is that simple?"

Jiang Hao found it hard to believe.

"Jiang Hao, you might be underestimating the status of a 'Seed of the Dao'."

"The status of a Seed of the Dao within the entire Huangtian Sect is second only to the ancestors who have Entered the Dao. In theory, a Seed of the Dao is actually on the same level as me, the Sect Master. All resources of the Huangtian Sect must be fully supplied to the Seed of the Dao!"

"You can think of it as the entire sect supporting a Seed of the Dao!"

"Even ancestors who have Entered the Dao will generally give face to a Seed of the Dao, after all, a Seed of the Dao has a high probability of becoming a powerful expert who has Entered the Dao in the future."

Jiang Hao suddenly understood.

He had indeed underestimated the weight of a "Seed of the Dao."

He had thought that a "Seed of the Dao" merely had better treatment than a True Disciple.

But ultimately, they were still disciples.

But in reality?

A Seed of the Dao was not as simple as a disciple.

They were the true core stratum of the Huangtian Sect.

They stood at the pinnacle of the Huangtian Sect.

One more step, and if they could reach the realm of Entering the Dao, they could establish their own lineage and become an ancestor.

"This disciple understands."

"For this Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, this disciple will go all out to win!"

Jiang Hao said confidently.

"I am naturally confident in your strength. However, you cannot underestimate the disciples of the other six sects."

Jiang Hao nodded.

"Alright, you just need to wait quietly. If it's time to depart, you will be notified in advance."

Yuan Wentian waved his hand.

Jiang Hao immediately got up to take his leave and departed from the Sect Master's cave dwelling.

ps: I hope everyone can vote for more monthly tickets to improve the ranking on the new book list. Old Yue thanks you all!
