Reaching the summit (7K)

"No matter how Heavenly Talent he is, it's useless. He's running out of time, unless he can reach the top!"

"There's another Dao Pavilion ahead, and everyone else is already sprinting there, but he hasn't Past yet!"

People from various Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region were discussing the matter animatedly. Some were worried for Li Hao, as it would be a great pity if such Heavenly Prodigy failed in the second trial.

At this moment, in the Dao Questioning Mountain Pavilion, Li Hao gazed at the spot where the painting had disappeared, pondered for a moment, and then slightly bowed.

Having Dao Questioning Mountain's preferences, putting away the painting can be seen as a form of recognition.

The joy of having a good painting appreciated surpasses that of a delicious Cooking.

After bowing in farewell, Li Hao left the pavilion and continued his ascent of Dao Questioning Mountain.

The steps stretched on and on, but Li Hao didn't encounter anyone else along the way. The path was deserted, and from the mountainside ahead, he could faintly hear a loud rumbling sound, as if it were all gathered there.

As Li Hao climbed, Forget Heart Hall halfway up the mountain.

Hundreds of figures gathered here, all having entered the Forget Heart Hall and obtained the qualification for advancement to the second trial.

At this point, some of them continued climbing towards the Mountain Summit, aiming for even higher positions.

Some stood Forget Heart Hall, gazing at the road they had come from, and at the other people along that road who were still struggling.

"Hmph, Master said that young man has an extremely high Dao Heart and enormous potential, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

"A large number of people from other True Immortal Realm in the surrounding area have also arrived."

At the entrance of the Forget Heart Hall, Yin Jingcheng looked towards the path and steps behind him. He could only see disciples from other Tianzong fighting against Dao Realm Avatars, but he did not see that annoying figure.

Beside her, Meng Huaiyue frowned. She didn't dislike Li Hao, nor did she have any affection for him. But as a member of the Great Dream Clan, she understood her Master's thoughts. Compared to them, that young man was more likely to bring glory to the Sect. But if he was eliminated here, it would truly be a joke.

As the two gazed into the distance, other disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss arrived one after another and stepped into the Forget Heart Hall.

And the number of people gathering in the Forget Heart Hall continued to increase.

"You lot are disciples of Sword Abyss, aren't you?"

Meng Huaiyue's gaze swept across the area and she saw several people rushing over. She remembered that these people had previously followed Li Hao and were also disciples of Sword Abyss.

"Um."

Yue Xi looked at the girl and recognized her as the Dream Master's Personal Disciple, as well as one of the three Immortal Lord Realm disciples in the Sect.

Gu Yan glanced at the other person, then looked back at the path he had come from, waiting for that figure to appear.

"You're all here, why hasn't Haotian arrived yet?"

Meng Huaiyue couldn't help but ask.

In her view, Li Hao was the leader of the True Immortal Realm within the sect, and there was no reason for him to lag behind the others.

"At the foot of the mountain, he told us to go first to avoid being caught in the attack of the Dao Realm Avatar and getting involved, while he went to cover our retreat."

Yue Xi explained, then looked back down the road, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety. There were more people around than they had imagined, and if Li Hao arrived too late, he might be eliminated.

"What is he up to? Could it be that his Dao Heart is too weak, and he's being affected by the Dao Questioning Mountain, unable to move forward?"

Yin Jingcheng frowned and snorted coldly.

Gu Yan glanced at him, said nothing, and continued to look at the steps at the foot of the mountain.

Beside them, Lin Mingrong and the other disciples of Yuan Sect had slightly changed their expressions. However, because the other party was the Sect Master 'Personal Disciple and Immortal Lord Realm, they were dissatisfied but did not say anything.

As time passed, more and more disciples came to the Forget Heart Hall.

"There are only a few dozen spots left; if he doesn't come soon, he'll be eliminated."

Yin Jingcheng sneered.

Meng Huaiyue frowned deeply. If that boy were truly eliminated, it would be a significant blow to her Master.

She could tell that her Master had high hopes for the boy, even more so than for her and her Senior Brother.

He might be here soon.

She said in a low voice.

Yue Xi, Lin Mingrong, and the others already showed signs of anxiety. Gu Yan, who was usually calm and indifferent, also quietly clenched his hands in his sleeves, his eyes becoming extremely serious as he stared intently at the corner of the hillside, hoping to see that figure appear in the next instant.

But every now and then someone climbs up there, but it's not that familiar face.

While everyone waited anxiously, outside the Dao Questioning Mountain, the Dream Master and Li Tiemu were also looking anxious. They were watching Li Hao's movements while silently counting the number of people entering the Forget Heart Hall, knowing that there were only a few dozen spots left.

But at this moment, in that last Dao Pavilion, people are constantly overcoming their own Dao Realm Avatar and rushing towards the final Forget Heart Hall to secure their advancement.

On the mountain path, Li Hao moved with the grace of Qing Feng, climbing the steps. As he approached the mountainside, he saw other disciples along the way, some of whom were kneeling on the steps with their eyes closed, as if in worship.

Li Hao was surprised, but he didn't disturb them and continued forward, passing by the other person.

Before long, the number of people in front of him gradually increased, and he came to see a pavilion.

Hundreds of figures were gathered here, fighting fiercely with their Dao Realm Avatar.

Nearby, many people were kneeling on the ground with their eyes closed, just like the people they had encountered along the way.

Li Hao was curious, but he suppressed his questions and went to the open space outside the pavilion.

At that moment, Dao Realm Avatar immediately materialized beside him.

A pitch-black Dao Realm Avatar appeared, its outline and appearance identical.

Outside the Dao Questioning Mountain, countless people craned their necks, gazing intently at Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar.

"Could this be yet another Chess Dao Avatar?"

"There are almost no spots left. If he keeps delaying, he'll miss out!"

"If another Chess Dao Avatar were to appear, he would definitely be ranked outside the top 1000 in a single game."

Many people are worried about Li Hao.

At this moment, Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar also revealed the Aura the Great Dao Origin.

An intense, scorching heat emanated from the Dao Realm Avatar. Li Hao's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately understood that this was one of the Nine Orders, the Fire Dao incarnation.

After being here for so long, finally we have a Dao Realm Avatar in battle.

"Please."

The Dao Realm Avatar treated Li Hao with great courtesy, cupping his hands in invitation before unleashing a burst of blazing flames that dyed the surrounding hundreds of meters red, as if one were in Fire Domain.

The intense heat caused the other True Immortal Realm in the vicinity to glance at him with surprise. They immediately recognized Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar as one of the Nine Orders.

"It's the embodiment of the Fire Dao!"

"One of the Nine Orders? Looks like it's going to be a major battle. I wonder how long it will take him to resolve."

"Someone previously revealed their spatial Dao Realm Avatar, and it took a long time to defeat them."

Countless people felt a sense of relief upon seeing Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar.

The Dao Realm Avatar of Battle, based on Li Hao's performance in the True Immortal Secret Realm, is at least faster than playing a game of chess or creating a painting.

"Let's finish this quickly!"

Li Tiemu clenched his fist for Li Hao, calling out anxiously in his heart.

At this moment, the flames gathered around the Dao Realm Avatar suddenly condensed, then transformed into a scorching vortex of flames that swirled and swarmed towards Li Hao.

Within that vortex, the temperature continued to rise, and each rotation caused rapid friction, seemingly capable of burning even the Great Dao itself.

Li Hao's eyes remained calm. This Fire Dao seemed to be a bit short of the Third Level Realm, let alone the Fourth Layer level.

He raised his hand, and a golden flame shot out.

Whoosh!

Fireworks ripped through the Void, causing space to distort slightly. Passing through the vortex of flames, the golden light directly burned and extinguished the ring of flames!

Extinguish the fire!

This scene left countless people wide-eyed, finding it utterly unbelievable.

Then, golden sparks flew straight towards the Fire Dao Avatar, arriving in an instant under the influence of the Space Origin, landing on the Fire Dao Avatar's chest.

The Fire Dao Avatar was instantly engulfed in flames, but its face showed no pain or struggle. Instead, it remained extremely calm, allowing itself to be consumed by the golden flames.

"You win."

He spoke calmly, then his body was burned and disappeared before Li Hao's eyes.

The outcome was decided in an instant.

Countless people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but cheer.

Unexpectedly, Li Hao defeated the Dao Realm Avatar Incarnation in the blink of an eye. If he had maintained this speed, he would have already stepped into the Forget Heart Hall.

"So powerful! This is Dao Realm Avatar located near the mountainside, yet it was suppressed with a mere wave of its hand!"

"Is this the power of the ninth-ranked on the Dao Fire Ranking? So strong! Just like those who were among the first to climb to the Forget Heart Hall, he was defeated instantly!"

"Unfortunately, he's running out of time."

"There are almost no spots left!"

Many people were worried for Li Hao, keeping a close eye on the Forget Heart Hall.

The number of spots there is getting smaller and smaller...

At this moment, after defeating the Fire Dao Incarnation, Li Hao did not linger and quickly rushed towards the mountainside.

Soon, after climbing over the steps, we came to a flat open space, at the end of which stood a magnificent palace, ancient and imposing.

A large number of figures were gathered there. Li Hao's gaze swept across the area and he immediately saw a series of familiar figures. Gu Yan and Yue Xi had already arrived, as well as disciples from other abysses of the Great Dream Nine Abyss. Many familiar faces were also standing outside the hall, their faces filled with anxiety.

At this moment, dozens of figures were sprinting rapidly in front of Li Hao.

"Haotian, it's Haotian!"

Outside the hall, Yue Xi, with her sharp eyes, spotted Li Hao appearing at the bend in the mountain path and immediately jumped up and down excitedly.

Beside him, Gu Yan also noticed immediately, but he didn't say anything. However, a look of joy appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to greet him.

"They're here!"

Lin Mingrong and the other disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss were also excited.

Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue were somewhat surprised when they immediately saw Li Hao rushing towards them.

"Hmph, I barely made it."

Yin Jingcheng narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort.

Meng Huaiyue smiled and said to Yue Xi beside her, "Quick, tell him to hurry up and get past the people in front of him, otherwise he won't get a spot."

Yue Xi realized what was happening and hurriedly beckoned to Li Hao, urgently calling out, "Haotian, come quick, quick!"

At this moment, other members of the Celestial Clan were also calling out to their own disciples.

"Come quick, come quick!"

"There are almost no spots left!"

"Only a dozen or so left, hurry!"

The crowd in front of the hall were all shouting loudly.

Those who were running felt a jolt of fear upon hearing these words, and immediately mustered all their strength to run as fast as they could.

However, these steps are forbidden from allowing Sky Traversal or teleport. One can only move forward by relying on Movement Method. Moreover, with each step one climbs, a special power will permeate one's mind. If one's Dao Heart is unstable, Illusion Realm will appear before one's eyes, causing one to become dazed.

But those who manage to reach this point almost all possess Chaos Dao Heart; no one lingers.

Hearing Yue Xi's call, Li Hao quickened his pace.

But just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Big Older Brother, could you let me have this chance? I can't lose this opportunity!"

A woman's voice, slightly choked with sobs, rang out.

Li Hao turned his head and saw a Green-Dressed Girl running towards him in a panic, crying as she did so, her face streaked with tears.

Li Hao was somewhat taken aback. Before he could consider his options, the girl looked pleading and said:

"If I lose the election, my entire clan will suffer. Please."

Li Hao paused slightly upon hearing the words "the entire clan".

In that instant, the girl caught up and said gratefully, "Thank you!"

As he spoke, his Movement Method shifted, and after overtaking Li Hao, he caught up with another young man ahead and drew close to him.

But just before they reached the Forget Heart Hall, her hair suddenly shot out like black vines, wrapped around the young man's waist, and then she pulled him sharply, switching places with him, and using the force, she leaped into the Forget Heart Hall.

The young man, pulled back by him, was Anger and rushed into the Forget Heart Hall, shouting, "Do you want to die?"

The Green-Dressed Girl no longer looked pitiful; instead, she crossed her arms and sneered, "There's no rule against doing this; you only have yourself to blame for not being careful."

"Is that so? Then let me test your skills!"

Enraged, the young man unleashed his Dao Domain and prepared to fight his opponent.

But at that moment, the voice of the Immortal Guard Commander rang out from the Forget Heart Hall: "Dao Questioning Mountain Way."

The young man looked up at the Void, suppressing his Fire Dao, "Then how did she calculate that just now?"

"It doesn't count if she didn't harm you."

The Immortal Guard Commander shook his head, but his gaze fell on Li Hao and the others who arrived at the Forget Heart Hall later, and he calmly said:

"She just finished ranking 1,000th. The rest of you have lost your chance to advance, unless you have the ability to climb to the top."

Upon hearing this, the young man froze, feeling as if cold water had been poured over him, chilling him to the bone.

Li Hao was somewhat surprised, but his gaze swept towards the Green-Dressed Girl.

The Green-Dressed Girl opened her eyes wide, feeling a mix of fear and joy, and patted her chest.

Then, noticing Li Hao's gaze, she immediately raised her chin slightly and gave Li Hao a sweet smile:

"Little brother, I'm sorry, but I really need this opportunity. You're young and Heavenly Talent; you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

The way they address each other has changed... Li Hao couldn't help but want to laugh, but he wasn't angry; he just found it amusing.

Seeing that Li Hao was not angry, the Green-Dressed Girl was somewhat surprised. If Li Hao had not Pause to wait for her, the last spot would have gone to either the young man or Li Hao, and she would have definitely missed the opportunity.

Even if she uses that method to surpass Li Hao, she cannot use the same trick against another person, since the other person will definitely take precautions.

"Is what you said about the entire clan true or false?"

Li Hao asked.

The Green-Dressed Girl was slightly taken aback, not expecting that Li Hao still cared about this matter, instead of being consumed by despair over his own failure to be selected.

"This has nothing to do with you."

Her expression tightened slightly, and she was unwilling to talk about it.

Seeing this, Li Hao nodded and didn't press the matter, only saying, "If it's true, then congratulations; if it's false, then I hope it's true."

Seeing Li Hao's calm demeanor, the Green-Dressed Girl changed her expression, stared at Li Hao, and said:

Do you want revenge on me?

"Revenge?"

Li Hao shook his head and laughed, "It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Seeing Li Hao's nonchalant attitude, the Green-Dressed Girl felt an indescribable sensation in her chest, as if something was pressing down on her, as if she didn't exist in his sight at all, to the point that he wouldn't even get angry with her.

While she remained silent, the young man beside her roared in shock and anger, "She's the last one, so I'm out?!"

"This, this isn't fair!"

He couldn't help but roar.

The Immortal Guard Commander gave him a cold glance and said, "If you're not as skilled, then keep quiet. You're not a baby in swaddling clothes; do you think you deserve to be pampered in everything?"

"But she fouled first, I was the one who went first!"

The young man, his eyes red, gritted his teeth and glared fiercely and venomously at the Green-Dressed Girl.

The Green-Dressed Girl felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the other person's gaze, but then she felt a sense of relief, as if this was the normal reaction.

On the contrary, the one next to her with the shortest Soul Lifespan was too calm, making him difficult for her to understand.

"Childish."

The Immortal Guard Commander shook his head slightly, ignoring him, and instead looked at the dozens of others who had arrived at the Forget Heart Hall one after another, saying, "You have already lost your chance, but if you want to advance, you can only reach the top."

Dozens of people looked at each other, their faces grim.

Reaching the summit? They had no confidence at all, after all, they had already fallen behind others on the way here.

"Haotian."

At this moment, Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and the others also arrived at Li Hao's side, but their expressions were somewhat complicated and unpleasant.

No one expected that Li Hao would lose his spot, and by such a small margin.

Is that all you've got?

Yin Jingcheng coldly glared at Li Hao and sneered, "You took ninth place on the Dao Fire Ranking. Weren't you supposed to be very capable in the True Immortal Realm? How come you're lagging behind others? It's laughable!"

Meng Huaiyue also looked at Li Hao with a puzzled expression, somewhat confused and disappointed.

Li Hao glanced at Yin Jingcheng but ignored him.

Seeing that Li Hao ignored him, Yin Jingcheng felt annoyed, but the look Li Hao gave him seemed to carry a certain intimidation. He vaguely felt that if he continued to mock him, the other party would take action, so he just snorted coldly with a mocking smile on his face, but did not say anything more sarcastic.

"Haotian, you were just a little short."

Yue Xi looked anxiously at Li Hao, then turned her gaze to the Green-Dressed Girl, gritting her teeth as she said, "You used such despicable tricks to exploit my junior brother's sympathy; it's utterly shameful!"

"All warfare is based on deception; this is a lesson he should be taught."

The Green-Dressed Girl raised an eyebrow, but then let out a cold laugh.

Gu Yan glanced coldly at the Green-Dressed Girl and said, "I hope you don't run into me in the later Grand Battle."

"Ha, so what if I met you? You think you can beat me?"

The Green-Dressed Girl sneered, "If I hadn't been delayed on the way, do you really think I would have arrived this late?"

At this moment, the others gathered Past the Green-Dressed Girl; they were also her fellow disciples.

"Are you trying to gang up on us? If you can't outrun us, who can you blame?"

A young man sneered and shielded the Green-Dressed Girl behind him.

Gu Yan's face turned cold, and he was about to speak again, but Li Hao stopped him. He quite liked this Junior Little Brother who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

"There's nothing to say. What they said makes sense, so we can't blame them."

Li Hao said with a smile.

Seeing Li Hao's relaxed demeanor, Gu Yan's expression changed slightly, and he said, "But you..."

It's alright.

Li Hao shook his head. He believed he could reach the top and had the ability to protect himself, which was why he had just made such a kind gesture.

If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, then it's not kindness, it's foolishness.

There is a difference between the two.

For him, it was nothing more than a deception, and it didn't affect him at all.

If that's true, then it was a kind act of helping others.

"Hmph, your junior brother is quite sensible. He hasn't lived long, but he understands the principles very well."

The young man sneered when he heard Li Hao say that.

Li Hao glanced at the other person indifferently, his gaze lingering on the face of the Green-Dressed Girl behind the other person's shoulder, before shifting his gaze back to Gu Yan and the others, and said:

"You've all passed. You'd better perform well in the upcoming Grand Battle."

Yue Xi and the other disciples of the Great Dream Nine Abyss all looked grim, filled with deep self-reproach and sadness.

If Li Hao hadn't been escorting them at the foot of the mountain, they wouldn't be lagging behind by just two people now.

"I will avenge you during the Grand Battle."

Yue Xi gritted her teeth and said.

Li Hao laughed, seeing that the others still looked sad, and said:

"Don't overthink it. I'll get another spot when I try to reach the summit."

"Reaching the summit?"

Everyone was taken aback and couldn't help but look at Li Hao.

"You want to reach the summit?" Gu Yan's eyes flickered slightly. Seeing Li Hao's calm and relaxed appearance, his heart skipped a beat.

Yue Xi suddenly remembered that Li Hao had stirred up Heaven and Earth Nine Resonances in the Heart Questioning Pagoda, which was at the level of the Eternal Dao Heart, and not a low level, but a medium level!

Perhaps, Li Hao really can reach the top!

Thinking of this, she suddenly became excited.

Are you going to climb to the top?

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Yin Jingcheng raised an eyebrow and said, "You've arrived so late, are you sure you can reach the summit? You'll need at least Eternal Dao Heart!"

Li Hao ignored him, waved to the crowd, and said, "I'm leaving now, don't worry."

Seeing Li Hao's confident and relaxed demeanor, the crowd's distress dissipated considerably, and they all cheered Li Hao on.

The Green-Dressed Girl and several of her fellow disciples were stunned when they heard Li Hao's words, and then they couldn't help but sneer.

They all knew that Li Hao's Soul Lifespan was no more than a hundred years. At such a young age, to have reached the Chaos Dao Heart was already extremely terrifying. Could he possibly also possess the Eternal Dao Heart?

Even with an Eternal Dao Heart, one may not be able to reach the summit, since the Dao Realm Avatar along the way will gradually strengthen, eventually becoming just like oneself, and one must defeat them!

"Don't talk big at such a young age. Do you think reaching the summit is so easy? You're already lagging behind others here, let alone reaching the top."

The young man sneered.

"If you really manage to reach the top, then I congratulate you."

The Green-Dressed Girl smiled, but her eyes held a teasing glint.

Everyone else laughed, assuming Li Hao's actions were a desperate struggle.

"They're gone."

Li Hao ignored the noise, waved to Gu Yan and the others, then turned and left the Forget Heart Hall, continuing his ascent up the steps to the Mountain Summit.

"Hmph, what an arrogant fellow."

Seeing that Li Hao ignored him, Yin Jingcheng couldn't help but snort angrily.

As Meng Huaiyue watched Li Hao's departing figure, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Senior Brother, perhaps he truly has the ability to reach the summit."

"Um?"

Seeing that his junior Junior Sister was on the other side, Yin Jingcheng's expression immediately changed.

"You also think he's capable? If he were, why would he have come here behind everyone else!"

Yin Jingcheng's expression was extremely unpleasant. His Master favored Li Hao, and now even his junior Junior Sister was speaking up for him.

Meng Huaiyue shook her head slightly, gazing in the direction Li Hao had left, and said, "I don't know why he only came now, but look at his expression. Even after all this, he remained calm and composed. It seems he didn't even consider those people a threat, not even us. His Dao Heart... might truly be more than just Chaos Dao Heart!"

Yin Jingcheng was slightly taken aback. Thinking of Li Hao's behavior just now, his expression changed slightly.

I'll give it a try too.

Beside her, Yue Xi spoke to Gu Yan, and then chased after Li Hao's figure.

I'll go too.

Gu Yan snapped out of his daze and immediately followed.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, even though they might not be able to reach the top, they could at least give it a try.

Now that we're already on the list, there's no need to stay here in the Forget Heart Hall and wait; we can try to climb to the top.

As they all left, so did the disciples from the other sects. They had originally been waiting for other disciples from their own sects to arrive, but now that the quotas were filled, there was no point in waiting any longer.

Soon, the hundreds of people in the Forget Heart Hall left the place to challenge themselves to reach the top.

"Let's go try it too."

The young man beside the Green-Dressed Girl said, leading the other disciples of the same sect to go together.

As they left the Forget Heart Hall in a grand procession, countless people outside the Dao Questioning Mountain were engaged in heated discussions.

Some people were discussing whether the Green-Dressed Girl's foul was justified, while others were debating whether Li Hao could climb to the top and secure a spot in the Grand Battle.

"That child is kind."

The Original Venerable Empress sat high in the sky, looking down at the Dao Questioning Mountain, her eyes revealing a hint of gentleness.

"Judging from that child's performance, he probably truly possesses Eternal Dao Heart. In that case, as long as he can defeat his own Dao Realm Avatar, reaching the top won't be difficult!"

Emperor Jiang nodded in approval.

"To remain unmoved by favor or disgrace, and to feel no resentment even when wronged, is a rare quality."

Heavenly Illumination Emperor nodded in praise, saying that this also showed that the young man's Dao Heart was at an extremely high level, most likely Eternal Dao Heart.

With only Eternity in mind, the fleeting beauty before one's eyes is nothing but passing smoke, and naturally, one will not take it seriously.

"I never expected him to possess such Dao Heart at such a young age. It's truly astonishing! Emperor Chu, could you grant this child to my Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty? I wish to take him as my disciple, and I am willing to cede a hundred cities to you in exchange!"

Beside him, the Crimson Emperor of the Red Frontier Immortal Dynasty spoke to the Emperor Chu.

Her eyes were piercing and insightful, possessing a myriad of charms that could captivate all beings and enthrall an entire generation.

The Emperor Chu was slightly surprised, but smiled and said, "This child is the son-in-law of my Yan-Chu. I have already betrothed my beloved daughter to him. If you are willing to let my son-in-law become your Personal Disciple, that would not be impossible."

The Crimson Emperor raised an eyebrow, spat out a curse, and said irritably, "So filthy!"

The Emperor Chu couldn't help but burst into laughter, secretly admiring his own brilliant move.

Seeing this, the other Imperial Emperor also abandoned their ambitions. If the Crimson Emperor couldn't get it by ceding a hundred cities, then they could only offer a thousand.

However, it seems that further negotiations are still needed.

They watched the Dao Questioning Mountain in silence, saying nothing more.

On the ground, the various Immortal Ascension Sects couldn't help but discuss the matter after seeing Li Hao's failure to be selected.

After all, he ranked ninth on the Dao Fire Ranking, yet he failed to advance in the second round. If he ultimately settles down, it would be quite a pity.

But the situation was already set in stone, and all they could do was see if the boy truly had the ability to reach the summit.
