Astonishment
Beside the Forget Heart Hall, several steps lead to the Mountain Summit.
At this moment, Li Hao followed the winding path and came to a set of steps.
There were other people climbing as well, not many, but some of them sat upright on the steps with their eyes closed, looking like they were on a pilgrimage, just like the people they had encountered earlier.
Li Hao guessed that their Dao Heart might not be strong enough, and therefore they were affected by the Dao Questioning Mountain, which led them to this state.
This also means that they will stop here until the trial ends, or they will be dragged away by others.
As Li Hao ascended the steps, he immediately felt waves of Dao Thought surging into his mind, but the sensation was very weak and had almost no effect on him.
"There are three Dao Pavilion leading to the Mountain Summit, and at the top, there is another test—a total of four!"
At this moment, the Immortal Guard Commander, seeing the crowd gathering and all trying to reach the top, also explained loudly.
"Testing all sides?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd rushing from the Forget Heart Hall all looked towards the impossibly high Mountain Summit, only to see Golden Clouds shrouding Mountain Summit.
Li Hao knew what was going on and silently walked up the steps.
Before long, they arrived at a Dao Pavilion.
Upon arriving at this place, Dao Realm Avatar appeared in the Void, exuding an Aura of vicissitudes.
Immediately afterwards, the Dao Realm Avatar raised his hand, and the dark power in his palm condensed into a Fishing Rod.
When Li Hao saw the Fishing Rod, he immediately understood. He was surprised, but couldn't help but smile wryly.
Unexpectedly, of the Nine Orders Dao Realm Avatar condensed on this Dao Questioning Mountain, only the Fire Dao was revealed, while the rest were the Art Skill he usually enjoyed.
Could it be that this manifestation of the Dao Realm Avatar is based on the individual's own preferences?
Li Hao had his doubts, but only guessed, and asked, "Angling? What are we fishing for?"
"Nine thousand miles away, there is an Immortal Lake, and in the lake dwells a Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal. Let's see who can catch it first."
The Dao Realm Avatar stared at Li Hao and said, "Of course, you can also choose to use other methods to defeat me directly, that will also count."
Li Hao shook his head. There was still plenty of time; the trial had only lasted less than a day, and there was more than enough time to reach the summit. He said, "Let's give it a try first."
"Good."
Upon seeing that he had agreed, the Dao Realm Avatar immediately swung the rod, and a jet-black line shot out from the front of the rod, flying hundreds of meters away before penetrating into the Void, as if the Void were a Lake, submerging it.
"The Space Origin, that's interesting."
Seeing that this Dao Realm Avatar had mastered the power of Space Origin, Li Hao couldn't help but laugh. The other party said that if they didn't have to compete in Angling, they could compete in fists and feet. Obviously, the other party's combat ability was not bad either.
He raised his hand, Immortal Power condensed into a thread, which he also flicked out, penetrating into the Void and disappearing.
At the same time, he Entering the Dao the pavilion and sat down leisurely.
Upon seeing this scene, the various Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region were once again in an uproar, with countless murmurs of surprise and disbelief erupting.
Everyone was completely astonished; they had never seen anything so incredible.
When others come to Dao Questioning Mountain, they all engage in fierce battles with Dao Realm Avatar. But Li Hao is different. Apart from the Fire Dao incarnation who made a move earlier, the other Dao Realm Avatar are either playing Chess or painting. Now he's even taken up Angling!
It was as if they had come to this Dao Questioning Mountain to seek enlightenment.
"Angling? How could his Dao Realm Avatar possibly compete with him in Angling?"
"Angling can Entering the Dao? Just how many years has he been fishing?!"
"Didn't they say his Soul Lifespan was only ninety-six years? Could Soul Lifespan be faked? Or am I seeing things?!"
Countless people were completely bewildered and incredulous.
Dao Questioning Mountain, high in the sky.
The Imperial Emperor the Seven Great Ancient Immortal Dynasties, including the Emperor Chu, were all slightly stunned by this sight.
The boy's previous displays of Chess and painting had already surprised them, but they could barely accept them. They never expected him to also Angling.
Moreover, the manifestation of the Dao Realm indicates that this young man has achieved profound attainments in these areas and has reached the level of Entering the Dao.
What is his daily life like?
Emperor Jiang suddenly asked.
No one answered. Even the Emperor Chu and his entourage, who had witnessed many grand occasions, were astonished.
"Judging from the Great Dao he exuded when he Angling, he possessed the power of the Space Origin, and his realm was not low. Why didn't he reveal his spatial Dao Realm Avatar?"
Heavenly Illumination Emperor was somewhat puzzled, and equally curious.
"The Dao Realm Avatar on Dao Questioning Mountain are all random, unless the climber only cultivates one Great Dao, like the person who has already reached the summit, who only Water Dao, easily traversing the entire path and is now sitting on the Mountain Summit."
"That's what the Crimson Emperor said."
Her gaze swept over a young man in white robes atop the Mountain Summit. He sat calmly on the Mountain Summit, his eyes fixed on the golden clouds above, as if he wanted to challenge himself to go even higher.
If Li Hao saw this young man, he would recognize him as Boya Xuejian.
While they were discussing this, the elders and sect leaders of the various Immortal Ascension Sects below were also engaged in lively discussion.
"What's that kid up to now? Why doesn't he just take care of that Dao Realm Avatar in a few moves?"
Li Tiemu couldn't help but stomp his foot, both amused and anxious.
The Dream Master was also somewhat stunned. Li Hao's mastery of Painting Dao was extremely profound, requiring a great deal of effort. His previous skill in Chess Dao was also quite high. Now, he had even brought up his Angling skills, which was something she had never expected.
"No rush, he should be confident in his match against his opponent."
The Dream Master stared intently, then spoke to Li Tiemu beside him.
Li Tiemu could also see that Li Hao was calm and composed, seemingly quite confident in reaching the top. He had witnessed the Heaven and Earth Nine Resonances that Li Hao created at the Heart Questioning Pagoda, and knew that Li Hao possessed Eternal Dao Heart, so reaching the top should be highly certain, as long as nothing unexpected happened.
"Let's hope so. This kid's always got me on edge; can't he be a little more cautious?"
Li Tiemu couldn't help but mutter to himself, thinking of Li Hao's performance on Emperor Sword Mountain. While others were vying to climb, this brat was Chess at the bottom until the last day, when he finally reached the top in one step, splitting the Ancestral Dragon with a sword and crossing to the summit.
At this moment, on the Dao Questioning Mountain, Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and the others ran quickly up the steps and arrived at the first Dao Pavilion.
Upon arriving, they saw Li Hao sitting upright in the Dao Pavilion.
The group was taken aback and immediately went to Li Hao's side.
"Haotian, what's wrong?"
Yue Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Angling."
Li Hao gestured with his chin towards his avatar beside him, indicating that they were competing.
The group's gazes fell on the Dao Realm Avatar beside Li Hao. They saw that the other person was standing in the pavilion, holding a fishing rod. The two were very close, close enough that they could easily launch a sneak attack, but neither of them seemed to have any intention of attacking.
They were somewhat taken aback, seeing someone coexisting so harmoniously with their Dao Realm Avatar for the first time.
"Angling? Your Dao Realm Avatar is competing with you in this?"
Gu Yan and Yue Xi were completely bewildered. What the hell was this? Angling could Entering the Dao?
At this moment, the Dao Realm Avatar around them also began to materialize.
Gu Yan was the Sword Dao Avatar. As soon as he appeared, a sword materialized in his palm and bowed to Gu Yan.
The Dao Realm Avatar beside Yue Xi was rather peculiar, emanating a Calamity Aura and a strange, unpleasant odor, with Thunderfire, and Magma appearing beneath its feet.
Upon seeing their Dao Realm Avatar, the two's expressions changed slightly. Without saying much to Li Hao, they quickly engaged in battle with their Dao Realm Avatar.
At this time, more and more people came here.
Soon, they all saw the young man sitting alone in the Dao Pavilion, as well as Gu Yan, Yue Xi, and others fighting against the Dao Realm Avatar outside the pavilion.
What's that guy doing?
Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue also arrived at the scene. When Dao Pavilion Yin Jingcheng saw Li Hao in the pavilion, he was stunned. He had expected to see a fierce battle between this kid and his Dao Realm Avatar, but he did not expect such a scene.
Meng Huaiyue was also somewhat confused, but managed to understand, saying, "He... he seems to be Angling? I remember seeing Grandpa like that before..."
Why didn't his Dao Realm Avatar attack him?
Yin Jingcheng looked on in disbelief, seeing for the first time someone sitting side by side with his Dao Realm Avatar, yet getting along so harmoniously.
The others who witnessed this strange sight were all shocked and began to discuss it animatedly.
"That person's Dao Realm Avatar didn't attack him at all!"
Are they competing? And what are they competing against?
"That looks like Angling? I can sense fluctuations in the Space Origin!"
"Could it be that person's Dao Realm Avatar is Angling?"
Many people were shocked and incredulous. They had seen all sorts of Dao Realm Avatar, but they had never seen anything like this.
At this moment, Dao Realm Avatar appeared around them and launched attacks.
Soon, the air crackled with Immortal Arts energy as the battle descended into chaos.
The Immortal Arts caused a disturbance, but they did not affect the Dao Pavilion. The Dao Pavilion itself seemed to possess some kind of power that made it unaffected by the Immortal Arts. Furthermore, Li Hao, who was Dao Pavilion, supported the Eternal Dao Domain, thus avoiding the impact of other Immortal Arts.
He sat alone in the Dao Pavilion, Angling nine thousand miles.
In his spare time, his gaze swept over the other combatants.
Watching them fiercely battle with the Dao Realm Avatar, locked in a stalemate, was quite a sight to behold; it was a pity I was missing a plate of melon seeds.
As time went by, before long, many of the later participants fought and defeated their respective Dao Realm Avatar.
Very few battles have ended in a stalemate.
Yue Xi and Gu Yan also dealt with their Dao Realm Avatar, which took them a little longer, but they were still faster than Li Hao.
After they had just breathed a sigh of relief Dao Realm Avatar, they were taken aback to see Li Hao calmly Angling in the Dao Pavilion.
"Junior brother, you haven't sorted it out yet?"
Yue Xi couldn't help but move closer to take a look at Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar. She breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he hadn't attacked her.
This was, after all, Li Hao's Dao Realm Avatar; if it truly attacked her, she would have to deal with it with all her might.
"That thing is cunning; it hasn't taken the bait yet."
Li Hao said.
Are you really Angling?
Yue Xi stared wide-eyed, her face filled with astonishment.
Li Hao nodded with a smile.
Gu Yan paused, his gaze following Li Hao's fishing line, his eyes slowly narrowing as he asked, "What are you Angling for? There are fluctuations of Space Origin over there."
"A dragon immortal from ninety thousand miles away," Li Hao said.
Gu Yan was stunned. Ninety thousand miles away? Clearly, being able to transfer Immortal Power ninety thousand miles away from here shows that the level of the Space Origin is not low.
He took a deep breath, feeling as if Li Hao was shrouded in a mist. Ever since he met Li Hao at the Emperor Sword Mountain, he had noticed that this seemingly ordinary fellow Senior Brother was always shrouded in an inscrutable mist.
By this time, the others had also finished their tasks and discovered that Li Hao was still fishing there. Some were surprised, while others sneered.
What's wrong with that guy?
The Green-Dressed Girl and her fellow Senior Brother who followed also dealt with their respective Dao Realm Avatar, but apart from the young man, the others were dealt with with considerable difficulty.
The woman in the green dress had also expended considerable effort to defeat her own Dao Realm Avatar, and was stunned to see Li Hao still Angling.
"Hmph, just trying to attract attention."
The young man glanced at him and said with a sneer.
Not far away, Yin Jingcheng and Meng Huaiyue had also dealt with their Dao Realm Avatar. Hearing the surrounding discussions, Meng Huaiyue looked at Li Hao, then suddenly her eyes narrowed, and she whispered:
"He was late earlier, could it be... he was like this at the foot of the mountain too?"
Hearing her words, Yin Jingcheng was stunned, feeling as if he had been slapped in the chest. His expression changed slightly, becoming somewhat ugly.
"If we can't reach the summit, whatever the reason before, it's all in vain!"
After a long pause, he finally spoke with a stern face.
"Let's go, let's go up the mountain first, then try and see how far we can go."
Dao Realm Avatar, they continued walking towards the steps at the Mountain Summit.
The woman in the green dress and the others glanced at Li Hao and decided to continue challenging the next Dao Pavilion. Although they might not be able to reach the top, they could at least test their limits.
Seeing that everyone else was preparing to leave, Yin Jingcheng said to Meng Huaiyue, "Let's go, let's challenge ourselves to reach the summit!"
Meng Huaiyue's gaze remained fixed on Li Hao, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak. She nodded slightly and was about to follow Yin Jingcheng away when suddenly, a surge of power erupted from the Dao Pavilion.
The Dao Realm Avatar beside Li Hao suddenly sharpened its eyes, revealing Swordsman -like glint, and murmured, "My trap has been taken!"
As he spoke, he suddenly pulled, reeling in the line and lifting the pole.
"Mine too."
At the same moment, Li Hao felt the thread being pulled, and he could feel that the other side had already entangled the Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal.
He chuckled softly, his eyes suddenly flashing with Divine Radiance. Divine Power erupted from his arms, and his physique, having reached the God Blood Ultimate Realm, combined with his current Ancestral Immortal Body, instantly transformed into a boundless force, surging forth through Immortal Power.
"Rise!"
With a low murmur, several hundred meters ahead of him and his Dao Realm Avatar, the Void submerged by the line suddenly rippled!
The ripples spread, revealing a powerful force that caused many who were preparing to climb to stop in their tracks and turn back in astonishment.
Yin Jingcheng, Meng Huaiyue, the Green-Dressed Girl, and the others were all taken aback and looked towards the Dao Pavilion.
At this moment, Li Hao and his Dao Realm Avatar exerted their power simultaneously. The Dao Realm Avatar exuded a terrifying aura, revealing its Extreme Realm, seemingly about to overturn the Dao Pavilion, its black hair flying wildly in disarray.
"Come quickly!"
He growled, his eyes filled with a commanding air.
On the other side, Li Hao's Fishing Line turned golden, radiating brilliant Divine Radiance. Ripples spread across the Void, like the surface of Lake, and the next moment, space suddenly cracked open.
Roar!
An Anger roar rang out, followed immediately by another equally Anger roar!
The Void collapsed, and two enormous dragon heads were pulled out from within. Li Hao and his Dao Realm Avatar pulled out the two dragons at the same time!
The dragon's roar reverberated through the Dao Pavilion and also echoed across Dao Questioning Mountain.
The two dragons, one large and one small, Angling by the Dao Realm Avatar. The smaller one was only one-third the size of the other, but its power was still fierce, indicating it was at the True Immortal Realm Perfection.
The Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal that Li Hao pulled out exuded the Aura of the Immortal Lord Realm!
Although he was only at the First Level of Immortal Lord Realm, he was using the Principle to suppress Li Hao's Fishing Line, which was trying to break free.
However, Li Hao's Fishing Line Immortal Power was condensed, and with the power of the Nine Orders contained within, the opponent's Principle could not be destroyed immediately.
As the two Dragon Body were pulled out, like fish suddenly emerging from the water, they were tossed directly into the air.
Their enormous Dragon Body swept over the heads of the crowd, casting shadows that obscured their vision. In an instant, their eyes narrowed in shock and horror!
Like everyone else present, countless people in the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region were also stunned and speechless upon witnessing this scene.
Two dragons, drawn from 90,000 miles away, were brought to the Dao Questioning Mountain!
The young man in the Dao Pavilion stood up. His outstanding figure and vigorous bearing were evident as he casually picked up the Fishing Line. His movements were light and effortless, yet they revealed an extraordinary, ethereal quality.
"Where... where am I?!"
The Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal that Li Hao caught had jet-black scales all over its body and purple scales on its head. At this moment, it changed from being ferocious and Anger to being terrified.
It felt an extraordinary sense of oppression from this place, and at the same time, it felt as if countless eyes were watching it, making it feel terrified.
Once it could see clearly, it discovered that it was surrounded by Human Race, some of whom were at the Immortal Lord Realm!
Outnumbered and outgunned, it was clearly in a perilous situation.
"I lost."
At this moment, in the Dao Pavilion, the Dao Realm Avatar glanced at his Catch and sighed to Li Hao.
As he spoke, he retracted the line and said, "I'll give you mine too."
"Thank you very much."
Li Hao laughed.
The Dao Realm Avatar conceded defeat and vanished on the spot.
Li Hao's gaze fell on the two Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal. He sensed that their Aura were extremely similar, indicating they were related by blood. He said, "If you don't want to die, come to my side. After we leave this place, I will release you. My Sect Master's Pond Courtyard is just short of two small fish."
The smaller Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal couldn't help but look at Li Hao, trembling and not daring to speak.
The Profound Darkness Dragon Immortal Li Hao Li Hao Angling immediately recognized the Aura of the Fishing Line as belonging to this young man.
It was filled with grief and anger. It had been dragged to this godforsaken place for no reason, and the one who had dragged it there was just a little devil from the True Immortal Realm.
"Is this the Dao Questioning Mountain?"
Suddenly, it realized where it was.
Looking again, seeing the gazes of so many Human Race around it, it immediately trembled all over.
"Spare me, spare my life! I have never killed any Human Race. Please spare my life, Mother and Son and child."
It transformed into the appearance of a beautiful woman, bowing and kneeling in the Void before Li Hao.
Li Hao laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I don't like killing either. If you behave well, I'll release you back home later."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and drew Void Rift beside him, gesturing for them to enter.
The beautiful woman nearly fainted Past seeing the mountain of Ancient Demon Corpse piled up in the crack. She almost burst into tears on the spot, stammering:
"I... I really didn't kill anyone. What will it take for you to let us go?"
Li Hao said with some helplessness, "If you keep nagging and messing things up, don't blame me for really taking action."
The beautiful woman, her eyes brimming with tears, carefully examined Li Hao. In her eyes, this young man was like a Killing God exuding endless Sha Qi.
But now, she was at the mercy of the situation, like a fish on a chopping block. She had no choice but to obediently take her child into the Spatial Rift, muttering and pleading all the way.
Li Hao closed the Spatial Rift, clapped his hands, and saw that everyone present was staring at him in a daze.
He didn't seem to care and said to Yue Xi and Gu Yan, "Let's go!"
As they spoke, they continued climbing the steps up the mountain.
After Li Hao hopped away in a few steps, the crowd came to their senses and immediately erupted in an uproar.
Those who had previously mocked Li Hao now stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.
In a mere True Immortal Realm, a Dragon Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm was actually caught!
The Dragon Clan was still begging Li Hao for mercy, which was utterly astonishing.
"My God, what am I seeing?!"
"He... he caught a Dragon Clan, and it's Dragon Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm!"
"Isn't he True Immortal? How can True Immortal fish for the Immortal Lord Realm?!"
"My god, is this the level of the Southern Region's Heavenly Prodigy? Is this the true strength of the ninth-ranked on the Dao Fire Ranking?!"
In the various Immortal Dynasty of the Southern Region, countless people were in an uproar, shouting in shock.
The True Immortal Realm cultivator frightened the Immortal Lord Realm into begging for mercy—this is simply too heaven-defying!
Although a few individuals, including the God Clan Youth, had previously displayed extraordinary power in the True Immortal Secret Realm, they had only defeated True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon, which was not as shocking as facing Immortal Lord Realm right now.
Meanwhile, in the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, the Yan-Chu in the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities were in an uproar.
Previously, in the Ancient Immortal Realm, I had seen Li Hao defeat Immortal Lord in adversity and trample on the Immortal Lord Realm Imperial Clan, but at that time, he did not restrict external objects and thought that he was secretly exerting his power with Immortal Weapon Immortal Treasure.
Now, in the presence of countless people, a Dragon Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm was dragged over, and the dragon was unable to break free!
This is insane!
"No wonder, no wonder he revealed himself as the Angling Avatar!"
"This is outrageous! They caught a dragon at the Immortal Lord Realm, and from who knows how far away they were!"
Countless people are discussing it; they are utterly shocked.
Outside the Asking Mountain, the elders and sect leaders of the various Immortal Chaotian Sects who had gathered there were also greatly shocked, and their expressions became solemn.
Without a doubt, that young man is a formidable contender in the True Immortal Realm group, and he has already shown his prowess!
"A Dragon Clan at the Immortal Lord Realm was caught from 90,000 miles away. This little guy is truly extraordinary."
High in the sky, Emperor Jiang chuckled and stroked his beard.
The Original Venerable Empress's eyes were bright, like the clear sky after Spring Rain, seemingly able to reflect people's hearts. She smiled and said:
"I'm really curious about what kind of life he leads on a daily basis. He paints, plays Chess, and Angling —and he's proficient in all of them."
"It seems the True Immortal Group's performance this time was quite impressive."
Emperor Jin smiled faintly, but his gaze swept towards the Sky Sovereign.
The Sky Sovereign remained calm, as if nothing could move him, and said nothing.
At this moment, Dao Questioning Mountain.
After Li Hao left, the others started discussing it heatedly.
The Green-Dressed Girl and the others looked shocked, and then their expressions turned ugly.
Without a doubt, that young man's strength is extremely terrifying. He was able to tether a Dragon Clan of the Immortal Lord Realm against all odds. If he can reach the top and secure a spot, he will undoubtedly be a formidable opponent in the subsequent Grand Battle.
Their actions just now have offended such a powerful enemy.
Damn it.
Coming to her senses, the Green-Dressed Girl looked pale and clenched her fingers.
On the other side, Yin Jingcheng was lost in thought, eventually falling silent, head bowed and saying nothing.
As Meng Huaiyue watched the boy's departing figure, she suddenly seemed to understand why her Master had shown such special care and appreciation for him.
