Challenging the True Venerable Tower

After demonstrating, Li Hao withdrew the Di Luo Shield Technique, and his Primordial Spirit returned to his body.

Across from the Go Board on the Wooden Stake, Old Wang stared at Li Hao in a daze. Li Hao hadn't cultivated in the three years since he entered, yet on his first attempt, he had actually reached the Perfection of True Intention?

Could it be that he was secretly deducing and comprehending in his mental world? But Li Hao had been Chess with him and learning Immortal Herb Cultivation in his spare time, so how could he have the mind to comprehend this Yama Immortal Technique?

"..."

Old Wang remained silent; Li Hao's performance had somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Meanwhile, at a distant Meditation Cushion, someone sensed the powerful Primordial Spirit fluctuations in front of the Dwelling. Opening their eyes, they were stunned when they saw Li Hao's Yanluo Outer Image.

He did not choose the path of cultivating the Primordial Spirit, and therefore did not cultivate the Yanluo Battle Method. However, some people had previously chosen to cultivate the Yanluo Battle Method, but they did not succeed in mastering it.

But at this moment, the newcomer seems to have mastered this technique!

Could it be that Old Wang is really giving him special treatment?

Does this count as a pass?

In front of the Dwelling, Li Hao inquired about Old Wang.

Old Wang snapped out of his daze, a strange look on his face, and said, "How did you comprehend this? You couldn't have obtained this technique from somewhere else. Could it be that while you were Chess with this old man every Half-Heartedness, you were also secretly studying the Yama Immortal Technique?"

Li Hao grinned and said, "Otherwise, how could I keep losing to you, senior?"

"You little brat."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang glared at him in annoyance. He didn't believe Li Hao's nonsense. When this kid Chess, he was so focused and absorbed that he couldn't possibly have any other thoughts on it. There was only one possibility: Li Hao had only used a very small amount of spare time to comprehend this method and had mastered it.

He recalled what Li Hao had said before.

Once you reach the summit, Carefree State in the heavens.

"That brat... "Old Wang thought to himself, "That kid really got away with it."

"Now that you have cultivated the First Layer of this technique, Withered Silence, to the level of its Origin True Meaning, you have indeed passed. You can now challenge the True Venerable Tower, which is a true test of quick wit."

Old Wang spoke, he carefully gathered the Chess Piece in his hand, a hint of emotion in his eyes as he looked at Li Hao.

This kid is too strange. He's only been here for three short years and hasn't even cultivated diligently, yet he's easily passed the first test that others have struggled to pass for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

This only shows that Li Hao's original foundation was far superior to that of others, which is why he was able to have an epiphany.

Moreover, this kid actually managed to beat him at Chess, that's bizarre!

"Then I'll give it a try."

Li Hao said.

If things go as he suspected, he might be able to easily pass this second test.

Upon Old Wang didn't stop him. He smiled and shook his head, saying, "If you go and take on the challenge now, everyone else will probably get impatient. But it's good, let them have a bit of a spur and hopefully they can improve as well."

Seeing the wicked smile on his lips, Li Hao was speechless. His opponent always had this expression whenever he was trying to outmaneuver him during a game of chess.

"I'll come and continue with you after the challenge is over."

Li Hao said, then stood up and flew towards the dark True Venerable Tower in the distance.

The Sage had sensed Li Hao's Aura earlier was stunned when he saw Li Hao flying towards the True Venerable Tower. He then suddenly widened his eyes, stood up abruptly, and said:

"He's going to challenge the True Venerable Tower?"

With this piercing scream, several people nearby opened their eyes and looked over in confusion. They were stunned when they saw Li Hao flying towards the True Venerable Tower.

What is he doing?

"Challenge the True Venerable Tower? No way, you must be joking."

"Exactly, he's only been here a short time. He's probably just there to observe. He's probably been spurred on by Lin Sheng and wants to take a look."

The Sage, having regained their senses, glanced speechlessly at the person who had just exclaimed in surprise. They felt the other person was making a fuss over nothing. How could someone challenge the True Venerable Tower after only three years? Three Hundred Years was an exaggeration.

During their conversation, Li Hao had already arrived in front of the True Venerable Tower.

He looked up and saw that what had appeared to be a Little Tower in the distance was now a towering, majestic structure with imposing layers, exuding a solemn and awe-inspiring presence and radiating a powerful aura of the Great Dao.

Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and then he followed the example of Herding Saint and the others who had challenged him earlier, arriving at the bottom tower gate.

As he approached, the tower gate seemed to sense his presence and slowly upgraded, revealing darkness inside.

Li Hao slowly walked in.

In the distance, several Sages were stunned to see Li Hao actually enter the True Venerable Tower, and then astonishment appeared in their eyes.

Soon, they realized something, and someone turned to Old Wang.

Those who rashly enter the True Venerable Tower without passing the first test will surely be severely punished by Old Wang.

But in front of the Dwelling, Old Wang was simply arranging another set of Chess Piece on the Go Board, putting them into Li Hao's Go Box.

"Old Wang, that newcomer has entered the True Venerable Tower!"

A Sage couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Old Wang slowly put away the Chess Piece, closed the Go Box, and then looked up. Seeing that the gate of the True Venerable Tower was closed, a smile appeared on his lips. He then leisurely got up and flew towards the Meditation Cushion.

"Old Wang, he..."

Someone wanted to file a complaint, but suddenly noticed Old Wang's calm, smiling expression and was stunned. Then, they looked at Old Wang in disbelief. Could it be that the shortcut the other party had taken had actually worked?

Is it really possible to make an exception for this kind of thing?

As Old Wang arrived, the others on the Meditation Cushion sensed Old Wang Aura and were startled, looking over in confusion.

"He has passed the first test and is now ready to challenge the True Venerable Tower."

Old Wang smiled and said.

Although they could already glean the guess from his expression and found it hard to believe, upon hearing Old Wang said in person, the previous Sage still felt their jaws almost drop, doubting that they had misheard.

Have you passed the first test?

That newcomer?

Only been here for three years?

Pass?

Alright.

The other Sage, however, were somewhat bewildered. What was going on? Who had passed the first test? Lin Sheng?

Wasn't that something that happened before?

At this moment, someone noticed that the boy's figure in front of the Dwelling was gone, and they were shocked.

The moment Flower Saint and Wandering Saint saw Old Wang, they immediately thought of Li Hao and went to look for him, but couldn't find him. Hearing Old Wang's words, their hearts clenched, and they exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief and astonishment in each other's eyes.

"Haotian, that newcomer, although he's only been here for three years, has already passed the first test at a speed far exceeding yours. You all need to work harder."

Old Wang smiled and spoke calmly, but his words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, leaving everyone who had been somewhat confused feeling completely stunned.

In the crowd, Lin Sheng's eyes narrowed, and the pores on his body seemed to tighten instantly, as if his blood Solidification. Then, his scalp tingled slightly as he looked at Old Wang in disbelief.

In just three short years, the boy who had always wanted to take a shortcut in front of that Dwelling actually passed the first test?

How is that possible?

That's absolutely impossible!

Lin Sheng suddenly snapped out of his daze, his eyes fixed intently on Old Wang.

Bright Saint, Herding Saint, and the others were also somewhat bewildered. When they came to their senses, they couldn't help but look at Old Wang.

They initially said they would never give them any relevant hints, but now... has their principle changed?

Not only them, but the other Sage also came to their senses and looked at Old Wang with surprise and doubt.

Old Wang still wore a smile. He had come here not only to explain Li Hao's situation, but also because he anticipated that such Prodigy would inevitably arouse suspicion and jealousy in these youngsters. He smiled and said:

"I said before that I wouldn't give you any hints; you'd have to rely on your own intuition. The same goes for Haotian. Although I admire him, we only discussed the Chess Dao and the Immortal Herb Cultivation. We never talked about Immortal Method, nor did I use the Chess Dao to give any hints. That would be meaningless."

When he said it was meaningless, he meant that if someone really wanted to help, they wouldn't need to hint; they could just say it directly, and no one would dare say anything.

Everyone understood this point, and upon hearing Old Wang's explanation, they were stunned.

Given Old Wang's level of skill and strength, there was no need for him to explain anything to them, and the other party had no reason to lie, or rather, they were not capable of forcing the other party to lie.

"You have all cultivated to the Saint-Level, making you dragons among men, unparalleled Prodigy. But before the Immortal Dao Prodigy, even the most extraordinary geniuses are still just humans. Before the path of immortality, everyone is equal. It's just a pity that there are always some Prodigy in this world who are rare in Myriad Worlds, who can easily transcend even the path of Immortal Dao, possessing that Immortal Dao wisdom for the path of immortality!"

At this point, Old Wang couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Passing the first test in three years is considered top-tier Prodigy even in the True Realm. Just that cultivation speed alone, without the support of other Immortal Dao Lineage or a solid foundation, would be more than enough to qualify him as formal disciple of the Immortal Emperor!"

Bright Saint's eyes flickered, and he said, "Old Wang saying that in the True Realm, there really is someone who can comprehend this Yama Immortal Technique within three years?"

"Have."

Old Wang said, "But it's extremely rare, like phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. However, to be able to become a disciple of Immortal Emperor is fortuitous opportunity that is hard to cultivate even in Myriad Worlds, and one of the most Prodigy in Myriad Worlds."

The error-free version can be read at 69shuba! 6=9+shuba is the first site to publish this novel.

Everyone remained silent.

Only now did they realize just how vast the gap was between themselves and the top-tier Prodigy the other party had described.

This also seemed to give them a glimpse into the terrifying competition and vastness of the True Realm.

These former Heavenly Prodigy, once they entered that place, might only be considered excellent.

"And how terrifying must the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple be?"

But then Herding Saint suddenly asked a question.

Old Wang was slightly taken aback; the smile on his face vanished, and he fell silent.

A figure of unparalleled beauty flashed through his mind, with ethereal grace and captivating charm, capable of bringing ruin to the world. However, in that Emperor Fall Battle, she went to war with the Tian Yang Immortal Emperor and never returned.

That was the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple; his Prodigy talent was unparalleled across Myriad Worlds!

Even in the Sparring and sparring among the disciples of various Immortal Emperor, he displayed great brilliance and is a potential candidate for Quasi-Emperor Grade existence in the Future.

Unfortunately, it has already fallen.

"Personal Disciple... those are all extraordinary beings born with extraordinary abilities, causing phenomena. Some are reincarnations of Chaos Dao Seed, others are souls condensed from the Primordial Power of the True Realm, born as Primordial Spirit..."

Old Wang whispered, "They might be able to master these Immortal Method in just half a month. Some are even more amazing; they might be able to comprehend them immediately after just a few glances..."

His voice was low, and as he spoke, he seemed to be recalling something.

Those were Years. He had the privilege of accompanying the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple in his cultivation, watching from the sidelines like an old servant.

In that Courtyard, that peerless fairy danced gracefully, captivating all beings with her allure, her Prodigy reaching its peak.

All the Immortal Method in the world can be mastered at a glance.

Even the Immortal Dao Laws taught by the Immortal Emperor can be comprehended after a few years of study; for them, cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking.

Those Prodigy, who easily surpass the so-called geniuses of Heavenly Realms and Myriad Worlds, are truly anomalies standing at the pinnacle of Myriad Worlds!

Hearing Old Wang's Whispers, the eyes of everyone on the Meditation Cushion widened in disbelief.

They had never asked these questions before, nor had they Past thought of inquiring about them, but now, they felt a profound shock, a sense of being both shocked and heartbroken.

Such Immortal Method —could anyone in the world learn it just by glancing at it a few times?

Can it be mastered in half a month?

They felt deeply shaken. Having cultivated in this place for so many years, they knew how difficult this method was, and the shock in their hearts was overwhelming.

When Old Wang came to his senses, he saw that everyone was silent and pale-faced. Realizing that he might have been too harsh on these little ones, he smiled and comforted them:

"You don't need to compare yourselves to the Immortal Emperor's Personal Disciple. Those extraordinary beings are true spirits born from Chaos, far beyond your reach. Even the Immortal Emperor has to search for a long time throughout Heavenly Realms Myriad Worlds to find a satisfactory person; they are among the very few in the world."

Hearing what Old Wang said, everyone remained silent, but they did feel slightly better.

Such beings are extremely rare even in the Myriad Worlds, so it's understandable that they can't compare.

Although they were Saint-Level beings, among the very few at the very top of the Golden Name in the Heavenly Realms, Old Wang about the vastness and breadth of the True Realm. This Heavenly Realms was merely Pseudo-Realm, far too small compared to the True Realm.

"So, does that mean Haotian has the potential to become formal disciple of the Immortal Emperor?"

At this moment, someone came to their senses and asked a question.

To master it in three years of study is, while not as fantastical as the Personal Disciple Old Wang spoke of, is still quite exaggerated.

Upon hearing this person's words, the others also realized what was happening, and their expressions changed slightly.

Lin Sheng 'Bright Saint expression changed, and Herding Saint looked somewhat unpleasant.

They were only vying for a Registered Disciple, and now someone with talent comparable to a formal disciple has infiltrated and is competing with them?

They all felt a strong sense of crisis.

Tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation are only equivalent to three years of others' efforts. The speed at which they are being caught up is simply outrageous!

"Huh? Why hasn't he come out yet after being inside for so long?"

At this moment, the Sage who first noticed Li Hao was stunned.

Upon hearing this, Old Wang also looked towards the True Venerable Tower.

Inside the True Venerable Tower.

As Li Hao stepped into the tower, he was enveloped in darkness, and then it seemed as if he was teleported to a vast place.

Here, the Heaven and Earth are vast, the ground stretches to the horizon, Cloudmist are silvery-lead-colored, scattered in patches in the air.

Then, Li Hao felt a force sweep across his body, like the scrutiny of some kind of gaze. Immediately afterwards, a figure appeared in the Void in front of him, slowly coalescing.

Its appearance was exactly the same as his. What surprised Li Hao even more was that its physical body also Aura of Ninth Grade Mixed Origin God Blood, but it was even stronger.

"His physical body has doubled in strength?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, and then saw that as soon as the figure materialized, it quickly burst forth with a great Aura of the Extreme Realm. Its whole body shimmered with divine light, and its silver hair flew wildly. It had entered the ultimate immortal Immortal Transformation State Li Hao was familiar with.

Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. Old Wang right; the projection's offensive desire was indeed strong, and it had reached its peak state in just a few blinks of an eye.

Sensing that terrifying power, Li Hao didn't immediately choose to add points. Anyway, there would be many opportunities to challenge the True Venerable Tower, and he wanted to test his own abilities first.

Whoosh!

With the explosion of the projection, a dazzling Sword Light appeared, which was none other than the Immortal Guides the Way!

Facing the sword head-on, Li Hao's eyes were illuminated, and he felt a sense of shock, as if the Heaven and Earth before him had been cleaved in two.

Is my Swordsmanship really that good?!

Li Hao was stunned, his whole body trembling. The intense Sword Intent enveloped him, making him feel as if an immortal had touched his brow with a finger.

There was no way to avoid it; all one could do was wait. There was even a feeling of being drawn to the Sword Intent, a willingness to embrace it.

But this interference of consciousness was instantly severed by Li Hao. He suddenly erupted, his silver hair flying, and under the Ultimate Transformation to Immortality, he mobilized the Heaven and Earth Power and unleashed a sword strike as well.

Bang!

The two Sword Light collided with a whooshing sound in the Heaven and Earth, causing the Void to tremble. Immediately afterward, Li Hao's Sword Light was engulfed in the collision.

Just as he was being submerged, Li Hao instantly unleashed three more sword strikes. This was a sword Swordsmanship he had once mastered, the Ripple Sword, but he was applying this overlapping Sword Technique to the Immortal-grade Immortal Guides the Way Swordsmanship.
