The battle began-he had arrived!

Do you think he still remembers us?

"How could he not remember? Xuan Shen fought him before and was once his opponent. He couldn't possibly have forgotten, could he?"

"That's right, besides, he's practically a member of the Ji Family."

"Shh, don't mention it."

Outside the door, Ji Xuanshen and the other Ji Family Prodigy whispered among themselves.

They had all previously passed through the Immortal Gate, becoming disciples of the Sage of the Primal Beginning Holy Land. This time, some came to participate in the battle, while others, having been rejected, also came to watch.

They arrived early and immediately began searching for Li Hao's whereabouts.

Since Li Hao made a name for himself on the All Heavens Battlefield, his whereabouts have been closely monitored by the Cloud Sparrow Pavilion. Many forces have obtained some Intelligence about Li Hao from the Cloud Sparrow Pavilion. After all, this Intelligence was not deliberately concealed and it caused quite a stir. Many people know that Li Hao has taken the number one spot in the Azure Wave Realm and is now hiding in the Thief Heaven Sacred Land.

"Oh, you guys are here too?"

Several figures walked over, led by Jiang Ziyan. When she saw Ji Xuanshen and the others waiting outside the courtyard, her eyes flickered slightly.

She already knew that they seemed to care a great deal about the boy her father was concerned about, but she didn't expect them to come to visit her as soon as possible, just like her.

"Purple Smoke Girl."

Ji Xuanshen nodded slightly upon seeing the other party.

The latter is Saintess of the Primal Beginning Holy Land, holding an extremely high status, but she is too old to participate in this Heaven Pride Battle.

"Xuan Shengzi."

Jiang Ziyan nodded in greeting, knowing that he came from the Great Wasteland Saint Clan, just like her Jiang Family, whose ancestors were all Sage.

Ji Xuanshen has shown outstanding performance in the Primal Beginning Holy Land. He broke through his cultivation level rapidly soon after becoming a disciple, and displayed his brilliant talent in the various competitions within the Sect. He quickly became Saint Child and is now one of the top young Saint Child.

She was naturally happy to befriend this promising Saint Child of the Sect, and since they both came from the Mortal World and were of the Ancient Sacred Clan origin, they had a good relationship.

"Are you very familiar with him?"

Taking this opportunity, Jiang Ziyan asked out of curiosity.

Normally, everyone in the Sect is busy with their own cultivation, so there aren't many opportunities for them to communicate.

"They are rivals, but also friends; at least, that's how I see it."

Ji Xuanshen said calmly.

Although he had been defeated by Li Hao before, he would never forget that scene. Instead, it became the driving force for his cultivation. Whenever he was in trouble or encountered setbacks, that proud and unyielding figure would appear in his mind.

Jiang Ziyan's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Ji Xuanshen's words; it was roughly what she had expected.

She smiled gently and said, "I heard he offended the Buddhist Sect and was chased by that Void Saint. I was worried he wouldn't dare come."

"You dare not?"

Upon hearing her words, Ji Xuanshen smiled slightly on his calm face, "There is nothing under heaven that he dares not do. Just the fact that he dares to offend Sage is something we are all ashamed of."

Jiang Ziyan was slightly taken aback, a hint of suspicion rising in her heart. What was there to envy or compare about offending Sage? Judging from the other party's attitude, it seemed that the other party respected him regardless of right or wrong. This did not seem like an opponent, but rather a feeling of admiration.

However, Ji Xuanshen is currently the most sought-after Saint Child of the Primal Beginning Holy Land, and he is arrogant and aloof. Would he admire someone else?

Jiang Ziyan shook her head inwardly, putting the thought out of her mind. She was not familiar with the young man, and they hadn't even exchanged more than a few words. However, when she passed through the Immortal Gate earlier, she noticed that the young man's talent was extremely terrifying, even peerless. Therefore, she wanted to use this opportunity to solidify the relationship between him and the Jiang Family.

After all, the other party has been gone Mortal World more than ten years. Although he had a relationship with my father, the lack of contact over a long period of time has likely caused their friendship to fade.

With this in mind, Jiang Ziyan explained the reason to the servant at the door and waited patiently.

At this moment, Li Hao, who was in the courtyard, got up and went to push open the courtyard gate.

"Ji... Haotian!"

When Ji Xuanshen saw the courtyard gate open, his eyes immediately changed from calm to serious. When he saw that familiar face, his heart trembled slightly, and he felt as if his blood was rushing through his body. It was an excitement of a long-awaited reunion, as well as an inexplicable thrill.

Jiang Ziyan also knew about Li Hao's name being recorded in the Heavenly Realms. This matter was too sensational. The Saint Child and Saint Daughter of the major Sacred Land, unless they were extremely isolated from the news, basically all knew about it.

She stared intently at the young man, secretly astonished. After leaving the Heavenly Prodigy Immortal Gate, she thought he had perished, but he had actually survived the pursuit of the incarnation of Sage and stirred up a huge storm in this Lands of the Saints Heavenly Prodigy.

She couldn't help but secretly admire her father's far superior judgment.

"Haotian, do you still remember us?"

Jiang Ziyan smiled gently. Usually, she had a cold expression, carrying the nobility and arrogance of Imperial Daughter, and was aloof and unapproachable. But at this moment, she was like a gentle Spring Breeze, without the slightest airs.

Ten years Past, and her appearance has not changed, which is why she is asking this question now.

"The Princess has arrived too."

When Li Hao saw Jiang Ziyan, he remembered that she was the daughter of Yu Emperor, and nodded slightly to her.

Seeing that Li Hao still addressed her by her Mortal World identity, Jiang Ziyan smiled and said, "We've heard about what happened to you, and we all support you!"

Li Hao was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile. "Thank you."

Ji Xuanshen looked intently at Li Hao and said, "I will also participate in the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle this time. It's been ten years since we last met. When we crossed the Immortal Gate, I thought of fighting you again. We both cultivated diligently in the Lands of the Saints, striving together. However, I am still no Sparring Sparring again."

He is straightforward and dislikes beating around the bush, preferring to express his thoughts and feelings directly.

Li Hao was slightly taken aback when he heard Ji Xuanshen's words. It was truly remarkable that this proud Heavenly Prodigy would express his feelings in such a way, admitting that he was considered a rival and a target to be chased, and doing so so frankly.

He nodded slightly, showing no aversion; on the contrary, he felt a greater liking for him. He liked people who spoke their minds directly.

"Okay, let's discuss it sometime, without hurting feelings."

Li Hao smiled, feeling a great sense of satisfaction as he saw these familiar faces from the past, all of whom had rapidly improved their strength.

I was thinking that if I had the chance, I could pass on some of the advanced Cultivation Method I had deduced from my Panel to them, if they needed them.

"My father sent me a secret message, asking me to convey his regards to you and to give you as much help as possible when the opportunity arises. But now it seems that any help is out of the question."

Jiang Ziyan's eyes flickered as she spoke softly.

Although she disliked the power struggles and schemes of the Imperial Family, as the Years Past and she has shed her youthful naiveté, she has gradually come to value and understand the importance of those things she once rejected, and inevitably, she speaks with more care and consideration.

Li Hao nodded, vaguely sensing the Princess's attempt to curry favor, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Given his relationship with Yu Emperor, even if a hundred or a thousand years pass, they will remain the same when they meet again!

As for the descendants of Yu Emperor, as long as they are not malicious, he will naturally have goodwill and kindness towards them.

"Please don't stand at the door, everyone. Come in and sit down."

Li Hao invited them into the Small Courtyard.

He then took out tea, wine, and other snacks that he made in his spare time.

When friends come from afar, I naturally offer them fine wine and delicious food.

During the meal, while everyone ate, drank, and chatted, Ji Qingshuang's eyes were cold as she sized up Li Hao.

Her father was Ji Qingyuan, the newly War God of the Ji Family. Among the many Ji Family Prodigy present at the time, Li Hao had once fought alone. When it was her turn to appear, she was dismissed by Ji Xuanshen and never got to fight the young man in front of her.

Nevertheless, she knew she was no match for him, and now the gap had widened even further.

This young man's background in the Ji Family was even lower than hers; he was half-blood, while she was at least considered a member of a concubine's lineage.

She was initially somewhat dissatisfied with her background, but after witnessing the young man defeat all the Heavenly Prodigy on the Mountain Summit with his iron fist, the knot in her heart was untied.

Therefore, she had a special impression of this boy compared to others.

She saw the shadow of her father in him, a man who became War God despite being born out of wedlock, Bloodline could not hinder his achievements.

The group chatted idly, reminiscing about the past, from the Mortal World to the Sacred Land, from food and drink to cultivation, and finally their conversation turned to the upcoming Supreme Heaven Pride Battle.

"This time, there are several favorites to win the championship, all of whom are extremely formidable. They are all disciples of the Supreme Saint Sage, possessing Heavenly Talent, and have been chosen by the Supreme Saint."

Jiang Ziyan's eyes flickered. This time, she came to befriend Li Hao, and naturally, she brought some valuable Intelligence with her.

Ji Xuanshen had been in Seclusion cultivating and didn't know much about these external affairs. For him, no matter who the Heavenly Prodigy was, his goal was to first surpass himself and then catch up with Li Hao.

"It's alright, it won't affect anything."

Li Hao smiled; his target wasn't these contestants, but rather the Void Saint and the Buddha Lord.

Now that they have survived the ambush, the remaining task is to refine the Saint Dao Seed, and then, with the help of this Incense, transcend to become a saint!

That will be his true moment of revenge.

"..."

Jiang Ziyan opened her mouth slightly, intending to wait for Li Hao to ask before giving him a detailed explanation, but this was the answer she received.

Seeing the boy's casual smile, she was somewhat stunned. Could it be that he didn't intend to compete for first place? Or was he just too confident?

She hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to start the conversation and reveal the Intelligence.

However, this way, it would be considered as her own choice, rather than Li Hao owing her a favor.

She felt helpless about this, but since the Heaven Pride Battle was about to begin, the Intelligence would be useless by then. She hadn't gained any favors, and she hoped that Li Hao would be prepared.

Hearing what Jiang Ziyan said, Ji Xuanshen's expression turned serious. He hadn't expected that, apart from Li Hao, the disciples of the Supreme Saint Sect were also so terrifying.

He was initially very confident, feeling he had a chance of making it into the Top Ten, but now he's a bit uncertain.

If I can't even make it into the Top Ten, how can I talk about Sparring with Li Hao? Wouldn't that be incredibly shameful?

His expression was grave as he sipped his tea slowly.

Seeing the atmosphere suddenly become heavy, Li Hao felt somewhat helpless. It was supposed to be a gathering of old friends, and he only wanted to talk about happy and lighthearted things, but now everyone seemed preoccupied.

"Let him be strong, the Qing Feng still caresses the mountain; it's just a contest, not the end of life."

Li Hao immediately offered words of comfort.

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Ji Xuanshen looked up at him and saw the nonchalant smile on Li Hao's face. Suddenly, she realized that she had been overthinking things.

He naturally understood this principle, but the person in front of him seemed to put it into practice, which somewhat influenced him.

"That's right. Even if we lose this time, it won't stop us from continuing our cultivation and becoming saints in the future!"

Another Ji Family Prodigy said.

Ji Qingshuang nodded. She was the most open-minded about this kind of thing. Her father came from a humble background, but he still became War God!

To cultivate to the Dao Inquiry Realm" in the Mortal World is a testament to one's exceptional talent. In the Lands of the Saints, one would likely have the potential to cultivate to the level of " Half-Saint"!

Ji Xuanshen was already a top Heavenly Prodigy in the Mortal World. With the help of the abundant resources of the Lands of the Saints, he quickly soared into the sky and transformed into a dragon. In just ten years, he became a highly renowned Saint Child of the Primal Beginning Holy Land.

If given several more decades to participate in the war, it would surely astonish the Heavenly Realms.

The atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful again. When Jiang Ziyan heard Li Hao say this, she knew that her efforts to find out about this matter were somewhat unnecessary.

After chatting for a while, another person came to visit.

Li Hao scanned the area with his Divine Sense and realized it was someone he knew. He immediately instructed his servant to invite the person in.

"Brother Haotian."

The visitors were True Person Qin's disciples, Mingyue Jian and Qingjingzi.

They also became disciples of the Primal Beginning Holy Land. Mingyue Jian came here to participate in the competition, while Qingjingzi was unfortunately eliminated and accompanied them to watch the battle.

The Mingyue Jian embodies the Dao Heart Dao Body, making it extremely easy to achieve enlightenment when encountering bottlenecks. Therefore, its cultivation is incredibly Divine Speed. After becoming a disciple of a Sage, it received abundant resources and rare treasures, forged its physical body, and cultivated to the Extreme Realm. Its cultivation level improved to be comparable to that of Ji Xuanshen, but its overall strength was still slightly inferior.

Seeing that their fellow disciples Ji Xuanshen and Jiang Ziyan had already arrived, Mingyue Jian and Qingjingzi were slightly stunned, realizing that they were still much slower than these older Older Brother and sisters.

Mingyue Jian is two years younger than Li Hao, and is now 26 years old, but looks only eighteen or nineteen. She has bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and a somewhat feminine appearance, making it difficult to tell whether she is male or female.

His eyes were pure and clear, still holding the same shyness and bashfulness he had shown when he first met Li Hao in the Dao Palace. He said:

"Mingyue Jian pays respects to Brother Haotian."

"We're all of the same generation, there's no need for formalities."

Li Hao smiled and invited him to sit down at the table.

Mingyue Jian blushed slightly and said, "My Master said that although you are not his disciple, we should treat you as we would treat him."

Li Hao was taken aback, then said somewhat helplessly, "You've been here for ten years, and you still remember your Master's words?"

"A teacher for a day is a father for life; I will never forget that."

Mingyue Jian's expression turned serious as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Li Hao laughed and said, "Good, well said, worth a drink!"

When Mingyue Jian saw the wine cup being offered to him, his expression became tense and flustered again. "Master also said that drinking is bad for your health, I don't drink..."

"..."

Li Hao was speechless for a moment, then burst into laughter. He didn't press the matter, saying, "Then let's use tea instead of wine."

Mingyue Jian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, picked up his teacup, and drank a toast with Li Hao.

As the number of people in the courtyard increased, it became even more lively.

However, not long after Mingyue Jian and Qingjingzi arrived, another person came to visit.

Li Hao scanned the area with his Divine Sense and realized it was someone he knew.

He couldn't help but laugh and told the servants to quickly invite them in.

The visitors this time were from the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land: Lin Qingying, her grandfather Lin Shan Hai, and Alchemist such as Shi Huajin.

Lin Qingying and the others were taken aback when they saw that there were many people in Li Hao's courtyard. Jiang Ziyan and the others also turned their heads in surprise. These faces were not those of the people who crossed the Immortal Gate back then, which showed that they were people that Li Hao knew in the Lands of the Saints.

We heard you were here, so we came to see you.

Lin Qingying looked at the young man in the room, gazed at him intently, and said softly.

"Was your journey here smooth?"

"With the Sword Master personally escorting us, we didn't encounter any trouble. If we did encounter Demon along the way, the Sword Master wiped them out with a single sword strike," Lin Qingying said.

"The Sword Master has arrived too?"

Li Hao was somewhat surprised; it wasn't the Sword Saint who came.

Could it be that they intend to stay and oversee the Sacred Land site?

The thought of seeing his fellow angler again filled Li Hao with joy.

"Are these all your friends?"

Lin Qingying looked at Jiang Ziyan, Ji Xuanshen, Mingyue Jian, and the others, and realized that they all seemed to be Heavenly Talent talented Heavenly Prodigy. Thinking that Li Hao had so many friends besides her, her eyes flickered slightly, and she bit her lip lightly.

"Um."

Li Hao nodded and invited Lin Qingying, Old Master Lin Shan Hai, and the others to sit down. The previously empty Small Courtyard suddenly became somewhat crowded.

Not long after, another Communication came from outside the door. Li Hao looked and saw that Lin Shuhai, Red Light, and others had also arrived.

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. He had no dealings with Lin Shuhai, but there was no conflict either, so he could accept Lin Shuhai's visit. However, Red Light's arrival was a bit of a surprise.

Seeing the large crowd in Li Hao's courtyard, Lin Shuhai, Red Light, and the others were clearly stunned. They had thought that Li Hao had offended the Buddhist Sect and that such an incident would be quiet and deserted, with everyone avoiding him. They never expected it to be so lively.

"Brother Haotian, my name is Lin Shuhai. We both come from the Azure Wave Realm, so we can be considered half-fellow villagers."

Lin Shuhai cupped his hands in greeting, appearing gentle and extremely humble.

Li Hao returned the greeting and, seeing the several Heavenly Prodigy from the Literary Ancestor Sacred Land behind him, invited them to take their seats as well.

Red Light's gaze turned complicated when he saw Li Hao.

During the Divine Dynasty War, he concealed his strength and handed over the first place to Li Hao. He thought he had given it to Li Hao, but he later realized that even if he had been serious about it, it would have been useless.

They are no match for their opponent in terms of raw power.

Although Li Hao defeated him, he accepted the defeat wholeheartedly and harbored no hostility towards Li Hao. On the contrary, he came here to give Li Hao a warning.

"The Twin Buddha Child have been resurrected. I thought you wouldn't dare come, but I didn't expect you to come anyway. I heard that the Twin Buddha Child have inherited the Sacred Dao of their previous lives, and their strength is even more terrifying than before. If you encounter them, be careful."

"Red Light reminded me."

This was a secret message his Master had given him.

"Um."

Li Hao hadn't expected the other party to come with goodwill, so he stopped being cold and nodded.

After Red Light finished speaking, he glanced at the people sitting with Li Hao, his eyes filled with complex emotions. Given Li Hao's current status, the two Sacred Land were hostile towards him, yet so many people still dared to approach him, unafraid of getting burned.

Goodbye.

After finishing his sentence, Red Light didn't linger and turned to leave.

"Would you like to stay for a drink?"

Seeing him leave alone, Li Hao suddenly spoke up, "My wine tastes quite good."

The figure in Red Light paused slightly, his expression softening considerably, knowing that the previous grudges had now been wiped clean.

He stopped and said, "Then I'll have a cup to try."

Li Hao smiled slightly and invited him to take a seat.

The commotion alerted the other Saint Child in the nearby courtyards. Lin Baichuan cultivated in the courtyard for a while before coming to find Li Hao, wanting to invite him out for a walk. However, when he arrived to visit, he found Li Hao's courtyard full of guests.

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widening slightly in disbelief.

These Saint Child and Saint Daughter usually preferred tranquility and focused on cultivation, having very few friends. However, Li Hao's courtyard was as lively as a vegetable market.

In the distant Void, two figures stood side by side. Feng Boping looked out over Li Hao's courtyard and saw that it was bustling with activity. The young man in the center of the table was all smiles, drinking and chatting like a playboy. Feng Boping's eyes flickered and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Looks like he's quite popular."

Lie Heaven Saint also saw it and said softly.

Feng Boping smiled and said, "That's how he was in the Mortal World."

"That kind of personality is indeed endearing."

"I can tell at a glance that Li Hao is quite easygoing, unlike other proud and aloof Heavenly Prodigy who are difficult to approach," said Lie Heaven Saint softly.

Feng Boping seemed to have thought of something, his smile faded slightly, and he simply nodded.

Time flies.

Three days passed Past the blink of an eye, and the Heaven Origin Realm was bustling with activity everywhere, but the most lively place was on Heaven Origin Holy Mountain.

The Dwelling here are all full. The Heaven's Pride and dignitaries from all walks of life have arrived. Some of them are unruly and willful, and they have caused some minor troubles, but these have been quickly quelled.

Over the past three days, many people have been discussing who will be the Champion of this Heaven Pride Battle. Among them, besides the disciples of several supreme Supreme Saint, Li Hao is the most popular choice.

Leaving a name on the All Heavens Battlefield is a truly solid achievement. Although the Heavenly Stele cannot measure techniques and is not absolutely accurate, it is definitely an important reference for Heavenly Talent and has extremely high value.

"If we're going by the Heavenly Stele, then Haotian should be number one this time, right?"

"The Heavenly Stele is just a criterion, not an absolute measure. Otherwise, there would be no need for comparison; one could simply leave Heavenly Stele handprint on the Heavenly Stele."

"That's right. The Heavenly Stele only represents the upper limit in certain aspects. Combat is not just one aspect; even the mindset during the competition will have an impact."

"Such Heavenly Prodigy talents are not easily swayed by the emotions of ordinary people."

"It's no use praising him. Haotian might not even come. Don't forget he was too arrogant and offended the Buddhist Sect and our Void Sacred Land. He's probably hiding somewhere with his tail between his legs now."

"Where else could it be? It must be that petty Thief Heaven Sacred Land."

"The Small Thousand Realm... I think calling it the Old Cheat Realm wouldn't be bad either."

"You know what, it was originally called the Old Cheat Realm, but later the Thief Saint felt that 'Conman' was an insult to a great thief, so he changed it to 'Small Thousand Realm'."

Within the Tianyuan Sacred Land, people from all walks of life were discussing it.

"Master, has Haotian arrived?"

In the Legalist Sacred Land, Wu Tian inquired about his Master, who was one of the Legalist School Sage, the Saint of the Laws of All Nations, and also known as the Law Saint.

"You've been here for a while now. Are you very interested in him?"

The Law Saint's eyes shone like stars, seemingly containing a thousand rays of light, and he smiled calmly.

Wu Tian thought of observing the All Heavens Battlefield. The opponent suppressed the Azure Deer King with a wave of his hand, and that kind of strength gave him a strong fighting spirit.

"Yes, I'd really like to compare myself to him and see just how capable I am to be able to leave a deficit," Wu Tian said without any hesitation.

"You'll have a chance to meet him during this encounter."

The Law Saint smiled, as if he had followed some kind of Great Dao law and glimpsed the Future.

Wu Tian's eyes brightened slightly. His Master was extremely skilled in divination and prediction, and what he said was usually very accurate, rarely making a mistake.

Another aspect of Legalist School.

"Seclusion for so long, it seems some rather unruly newcomers have emerged outside."

A tall, upright figure, dressed in white, bathing and burning incense, appeared proper and composed, exuding tranquility. However, his eyes were rather cold, carrying rationality and intense calmness.

"That's right. I heard that the other party challenged Sage with the Dao Law Realm, and the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land didn't pursue the matter. They were magnanimous and showed the compassion of Sage."

The maidservant beside him spoke respectfully, but there was a hint of anger in her eyes.

"To provoke the Sacred Dao and regulations is to invite one's own destruction. The Buddhist Sect is the same; it tolerates the provocations of juniors but fails to punish them severely. The law is impartial, and this is tantamount to condoning evil. It should be warned!"

The young man in white said coldly that he was somewhat dissatisfied with both sides after hearing about the matter.

As a disciple of the Law Saint, his Master cultivated the Master Sacred Dao Law, which all All Things obeyed, including Sage. Yet now, someone was breaking it.

Dao Arts challenge the Sage, then one violates the Sacred Dao.

Sage does not severely punish this matter, it is also a violation of the Sacred Dao's teachings and laws.

"Heaven and Earth and earth are like Go Board, All Things are like Chess Piece. Only by following the rules of the Chess Dao can one determine victory or defeat. If the rules are not followed, what is the meaning of winning or losing?"

Before the white-robed youth, on a table where incense was burning, lay a Go Board. His slender fingers flicked a chess piece as it fell to the ground.

His Chess Dao were unparalleled, yet he could only play against himself.

Because it is extremely difficult to find someone who can compete with him.

Where is Master?

After placing the piece, the young man in white suddenly asked a question.

If Master knew about this, he couldn't possibly ignore it.

"The Law Saint has gone to comprehend the principles of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heaven Pride Battle Saint Child participates this time, the Law Saint should be able to return in time," the maid said, bowing her head.

Upon hearing this, the young man in white's expression softened slightly. His Master was busy, no wonder he hadn't disciplined him.

"Master has attained the Supreme Saint, using the Heavenly Dao as his scripture to comprehend Heavenly Dao. These Sage are unaware that the laws and regulations established by Master are the laws of the Heavenly Dao, which All Things obey. To go against them will only lead to self-destruction!"

Spring, autumn, winter, and summer—the seasons cycle in turn; how can we arbitrarily disrupt them?

His eyes were cold as he picked up another piece and slammed it heavily onto the Go Board.

"If I were to encounter this boy, I would make sure he knows that those in the Dao Law Realm should abide by the rules of the Dao Law Realm!"

In another hidden cave abode within the Tianyuan Sacred Land.

Deep within the cave abode was a stone wall, at the front of which sat a young man, awakening from his meditation.

"Go, the time is almost up. This time your opponent is not to be underestimated; you may personally experience the legendary Sixth Extreme Realm."

The White-Haired Elder in front of the stone wall spoke calmly.

He sat upright in that dark cave abode, yet he resembled a pure white radiance, surrounded by the Star River, dazzling and ethereal, as if he were not of this mortal realm.

The young man was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but say, "Is it that Haotian? But Wu Tian of the Legalist School, and Qiu Tianlv, the Personal Disciple of that Law Saint, are probably not to be underestimated."

The White-Haired Elder shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

Upon seeing this, the young man stood up, bowed, and took his leave.

In the blink of an eye, the Supreme Heaven Pride Battle has finally begun.

As the World Stone reflected the light, it spread throughout the entire Heaven Origin Realm. The Cloudmist high above the sky instantly changed, reflecting the scenery on the Saint Mountain of the Heaven Origin Realm.

Countless people finished their breakfast early, eagerly anticipating this grandest and most spectacular event in the Heavenly Realms.

Such a grand event, occurring only once in a century, is a rare sight for countless people, perhaps only once in their lifetime.

"It's starting! Look, that's Wu Tian from the Legalist School!"

"That's the Qiu Tianlv of the Legalist School. I've heard it Personal Disciple the Law Saint, and there's hope that he'll Law Saint 'Supreme Saint mantle!"

"That's Xiao Tianyu from the Source Ancestor Sacred Land!"

"That's the Azure Deer King of the Primal Chaos Sacred Land. I heard before that he was used as a mount by Haotian in the All Heavens Battlefield, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Shh, it seems real. His expression changed; he heard it!"

Those in the crowd who mentioned the Azure Deer King's dark history immediately felt the Azure Deer King's piercing gaze, which made them break out in a cold sweat and dare not discuss it anymore.

On Heaven Origin Holy Mountain, the battlefield was at the Saint Mountain, while the Heavenly Prodigy from all realms proceeded from the courtyards arranged halfway up the mountain, along the Sacred Dao leading to the waiting area.

As each of the Saint Child ascended the steps, countless eyes were drawn to them.

Among them, the Saint Child of the Supreme Saint lineage stepped forward, their voices booming, clearly indicating that many people recognized them.

After all, the title of "disciple of the Supreme Saint" alone is intimidating enough.

"That is the Bright Moon Saint Child of the Sword Ancestor Sacred Land."

"It's our Sacred Land's Senior Brother Lin!"

Among the crowd, the Bright Moon Saint Child and Lin Shuhai also ascended the steps of the Sacred Dao. However, apart from some people in the Azure Wave Realm who recognized them, people from other realms did not know much about them and did not cause much of a stir.

To make the Heavenly Realms aware of their deeds, they must have accomplished something truly earth-shattering. But they only have a hundred years left, not even enough time for cultivation, so how many opportunities do they have to become famous?

This Supreme Heaven Pride Battle is their true stage to make a name for themselves.

"That's Red Light!"

Who is Red Light?

"It's okay if you don't know him, but you'll remember him soon enough, he's very strong!"

Among the crowd were dignitaries and Heir from all walks of life, all gathered here to watch the battle. They were all from prestigious families, and members of the Imperial Family of the Divine Dynasty were not uncommon here; they could be found in large numbers.

As one figure after another ascended the steps, many people watched intently, but gradually the number of people dwindled.

"Where is Haotian? I haven't seen him."

"Could it be that they've really backed out and are too afraid to participate?"

"Nonsense, I heard he came, he's probably just walking slowly."

"The Buddhist Sect has already arrived, how dare he still show his face?"

Outside the steps of the Sacred Dao, the crowd watched. If it weren't for the numerous restrictions that prevented them from sweeping their Divine Sense around, they would have already tried to probe down to the foot of the mountain.

As everyone eagerly awaited, a figure slowly walked up the steps.

He looked a little sleepy and rubbed his eyes as he walked.

Last night, Li Hao stayed up late and woke up late while trying to comprehend the Saint Dao Seed. Although he could go a month without sleep now, there are many changes ahead, so he needs to conserve his energy.

"That's really lively."

As soon as Li Hao reached the end of the steps, he saw countless figures gathered outside, all staring intently at him.

"Haotian!"

"He actually came!"

"He's really fearless! He's provoked the Buddhist Sect and the Void Sacred Land, yet he still dares to participate in the competition. Does he really think he can win first place?"

"They're definitely aiming for first place. After all, the allure of Incense is too strong. Instant sainthood—who could resist?"

Many people did not recognize Li Hao, but as some who did exclaimed in surprise, they soon realized that the seemingly awakened young man before them was none other than Haotian, whose fame spread Heavenly Realms!

Hearing the gasps and sudden, intense discussions that were dozens of times louder than before, the Saint Child from all realms who had walked past also turned their gazes toward them.

They had recently become very familiar with the name Haotian, and even the Supreme Saint Disciple were no match for him.

"Is that him?"

"Is he Haotian?"

Many of the participating Saint Child and Saint Daughter from various realms stared intently at the young man, their eyes revealing seriousness.

"Hmph, as expected, I don't like this kind of personality."

In the waiting area, Qiu Tianlv, dressed in white, who had already taken her seat, glanced over and saw the young man smiling at the onlookers before walking towards them.

Even though it was their first meeting, he felt a strange sense of disgust towards the other person's aura.

Li Hao felt countless eyes focused on him, but he was used to it. He looked up and glanced around the waiting area, mainly to see if Lin Qingying and other acquaintances had arrived.

Seeing that they had all arrived, he felt relieved and then looked into the distance at the obscure yet powerful figures of the Sage.

There were actually dozens of Sage gathered on Heavenly Origin Mountain for this battle!

However, the vast majority of them had no visible Aura and were extremely obscure, but Li Hao still sensed them with his Saint Dao Seed.

His gaze was solemn. It seemed that this grand event was indeed of great concern to Heavenly Realms. After all, the purpose of this Supreme Heaven Pride Battle seemed to be to stimulate the competition and cultivation of the prodigies of Heavenly Realms Heavenly Prodigy, and then to unleash the Prodigy with the Sixth Extreme Realm.

Now, he has arrived.

When Li Hao reached the waiting area, he felt a cold gaze fall upon him.

Looking up, he saw the Twin Buddha Child, their eyes coldly fixed on him.

Li Hao exchanged a glance with the Twin Buddhas. When the Twin Buddha Child saw Li Hao looking over, a cold smile appeared on their lips. They had failed to kill Li Hao earlier, and upon learning that Li Hao's True Form had arrived here, they knew they had been tricked.

The sword strike he witnessed was most likely caused by the secret assistance of the Lie Heaven Saint. The Heart Demon he had been trying to dispel were thus reignited, even more intensely, and his hatred became deeper and more difficult to control.
