Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking
How is that possible?
The Gui Lingshuang Sisters were filled with disbelief. The other party said he had just arrived, and yet he had activated all the Chaos Pillar so soon?
Could it be that he has already fully comprehended and mastered the Chaos Stone Wall upon his arrival?!
They were somewhat bewildered. If they hadn't been cultivating here for several years, they would have suspected that Li Hao was lying.
However, they hadn't seen Li Hao during the years they had been here. If Li Hao had also been cultivating here, they couldn't have been completely unaware!
As their thoughts were in turmoil, the Chaos Formation formed by the 138 Chaos Pillar coalesced and converged. Reflected on the 138 Chaos Pillar, at the center, it was as if an ancient scroll was slowly condensing from the Void and gradually unfolding.
As the scroll was unveiled, a vast and Chaos Aura emanated from it.
Before the Chaos Stone Wall not far away, many people who were meditating were startled and opened their eyes to look, their eyes showing surprise and their brows furrowing.
"Another person has deciphered the secrets of this Chaos Star."
"The Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking has been summoned again; it's unclear whether it features newcomers or veterans."
"It's been years, and I'm still almost there, damn it."
Many people felt restless.
They felt more anxious about the progress of others than about their own slow realization.
At the front of the stone wall, Sword Heart and Mingyue also opened their eyes. Their emotions from meeting Li Hao earlier had not yet calmed down, and they had not yet entered a deep state of comprehension, making them easily disturbed by external factors.
"Has someone managed to decipher the secrets of this Chaos Star?"
The two frowned and turned to look, but because they were sitting in the front row, the edge of the Chaos Stone Wall blocked their view, preventing them from directly seeing the situation in the center of the Chaos Pillar.
They focused their Divine Sense and swept through the area, quickly sensing a familiar Aura within the array of the Chaos Pillar.
"Um?"
Their eyes narrowed as they looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes. It was him?
They suspected Divine Sense were hallucinating and couldn't help but look around, only to find that Li Hao was nowhere to be seen.
Their hearts tightened instantly, and they stood up abruptly, flashing towards the Chaos Pillar.
The old man carrying a wood-chopping knife followed them like a shadow, his domain Domain Power enveloping them and firmly preventing the Chaos Turbulent Domain from encroaching on their surroundings.
Upon arriving at the Chaos Pillar, Sword Heart and Mingyue's expressions immediately changed. They saw that in the center of the 138 Chaos Pillar, a vast amount of Chaos power surged out from the Chaos Pillar, converging and weaving into a magnificent and awe-inspiring picture.
Beneath the scroll was a young man whose hair was tossed about wildly by the force of the attack. Just his profile seemed to pull the two of them back to Twenty Years, back to the Southern Region, back to the moment when the young man, True Immortal, defeated Immortal Lord with his innocence.
How could it be him?
The two were stunned.
At this moment, Li Hao was examining the painting.
Above, clusters of Chaos power swirled out and transformed into five large characters: Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking.
At the same time, the array of Chaos Pillar around him suddenly gathered on him, and then, as if refracted, a phantom image was projected from his body and flew into the scroll of the ranking list.
The illusory figure stood at the very end, its posture and appearance identical to Li Hao's, and its Aura was the same.
Next to it is the ranking: 1,209,482nd.
The following text displays: Chaos One Star.
Li Hao was a little stunned, not understanding.
At this moment, Shi Miao's voice appeared in his mind. "This is the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, also known as the Chaos Prodigy Ranking. Those who come to the Original True World to comprehend the Chaos Star will enter this ranking. Of course, one must comprehend a Chaos Star to be eligible for entry, which is what you are like now, Chaos One Star!"
The more Xingchen you comprehend, the higher your ranking on the leaderboard!
Li Hao suddenly realized what was happening and asked in confusion, "Who set this up? It couldn't have been something natural, could it?"
"It's close to natural, only slightly modified by the Chaos Immortal Emperor to make it easier to understand."
Shi Miao said, "These Chaos Star were originally one. When one comprehends them successfully, a mark is left and recorded within them. The Chaos Immortal Emperor merely embellished them slightly, and they became what they are now."
"The Chaos Immortal Emperor?"
Li Hao had long heard that the Original True World was ruled by three Immortal Emperors: Primordial, Chaos, and Daoyuan!
His Master was one of the three great Immortal Emperor who established the Extreme Dao Mountain.
"I'm at the bottom of the list, but this ranking seems a bit too high—over a million people?!"
Li Hao inquired via telepathy that during the previous Southern Region Assembly Battle, the seven Immortal Dynasty' Heavenly Prodigy only gathered to compete for a mere few dozen spots.
How many Grand Battle would it take to select these millions of people?
"Apart from the Heavenly Prodigy selected from the True Realm, the vast majority of these are former Heavenly Prodigy and beings from various races in the Original True World," Shi Miao transmitted.
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that Shi Miao was the legendary Time Spirit born in the Chaos. In this Original True World, there were also many Chaos Ancient Clan that were born here at the beginning of Chaos. Over the long Years, it was not surprising that millions of people had comprehended the Chaos Star!
Even so, Li Hao felt that only one million people seemed a bit few.
However, to comprehend this Chaos Star, one must be at least at the peak of the True Immortal Realm Heavenly Talent possess exceptional talent to have any chance of achieving it.
The normal threshold is the Immortal Lord Realm.
Are you on this list too?
Li Hao couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. He looked up, wanting to see the top of the list, but could only see blurry Cloudmist and about ten thousandth place.
Those ten thousand were still Chaos One Star.
But there's another line after that: Date of inclusion on the list.
At this moment, Li Hao saw that the time he entered the rankings was displayed behind him: one day.
Most of those ahead of him are thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, with only a small number being decades or a few years old.
"It's still just Chaos One Star after tens of thousands of years?"
Li Hao was somewhat surprised. Could it be that some kind of accident had occurred?
Shi Miao replied to Li Hao, "Even if you perish, you will remain on the list for a long time until the next Chaos Oscillation begins, at which point you will disappear."
"Chaos Oscillation?"
Li Hao was puzzled.
"That's a fluctuation brought about by the Primal Land. It oscillates once on average every era, which is about 100,000 years."
Shi Miao said, "My ranking is still there; it hasn't disappeared."
Li Hao asked curiously, "How many places are you in line?"
"Ninth."
Shi Miao said calmly.
Li Hao was taken aback. Ninth?
Ranked ninth out of more than 1.2 million?
Seemingly noticing Li Hao's shock, Shi Miao said, "Once you step into the Emperor Realm, you will disappear from this Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking and cannot be included there anymore. This is only the highest ranking for the Quasi-Emperor Realm."
Li Hao was somewhat speechless. Even disregarding the Immortal Emperor, ranking ninth in this era was still extremely abnormal and terrifying.
Keep in mind, this is a ranking of a whopping 1.2 million Heavenly Prodigy!
However, what intrigued him even more was, to what extent would those who could surpass Shi Miao have reached?
"The gap between the Top Ten isn't actually that big. I stopped cultivating here because of the Ancient Demon War. I was originally fourth, but now I've slipped to ninth. If I had continued cultivating..."
Shi Miao shook her head slightly and didn't continue. If it weren't for the Ancient Demon War, she might have become Immortal Emperor by now if she had continued her secluded cultivation.
"Many of those on the list today are new faces."
Shi Miao looked up, as if she could see something that Li Hao could not see.
Li Hao nodded slightly; after all, 100,000 years was a very long time.
At this moment, the surrounding Chaos Formation slowly subsided, and the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking above Li Hao's head also closed up like a scroll, then transformed into Dao Light that plunged straight into Li Hao's mind.
Li Hao immediately felt a vague power appear in his sea of consciousness. With the slightest touch, it unfolded in his sea of consciousness, which was the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking.
With a quick sweep of his Divine Sense, he could discern the situation of those ranked within the top ten thousand.
"Looks like this way I can check it anytime from now on."
"However, I don't seem to have seen their names."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
Among the top ten thousand, I didn't see the names of Sword Heart, Mingyue, or the Ghost Clan Sisters, nor did I see the names of anyone else from the Southern Region.
Besides that, Li Hao didn't see the names of the Su Clan, Jiang Family, Lin Clan, and other Heavenly Prodigy in the Northern Region.
"These people in the Southern Region are probably not just at the Chaos One Star, but ranked much higher. Su Wanqing and the others only arrived two years earlier than me. Even my sixth Senior Sister Di Lingshu, took three years to comprehend a single Chaos Star. They probably haven't even grasped it yet..."
Li Hao analyzed in his mind.
At this moment, the surrounding Chaos Pillar dimmed, and Li Hao no longer clung to the position. With a flicker, he flew back to the edge and landed beside the Ghost Clan Sisters.
When Li Hao returned, Gui Lingshuang and Gui Lingyue finally came to their senses, swallowed hard, and stared blankly at Li Hao.
"You... you've already comprehended this Chaos Star?"
Even though she knew the answer, Gui Lingyue still couldn't help asking, even in her foolishness.
Li Hao nodded and asked, "You've also entered this Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, right? How many Chaos Star have you comprehended?"
"A few..."
The two Sisters' lips twitched simultaneously. Gui Lingshuang stared intently at Li Hao and said, "We came here more than twenty years ago. This is the fourth Chaos Star we've come to study, and we haven't fully grasped its essence yet."
The fourth one?
Li Hao was somewhat surprised; the difference was so huge—this was already the fourth one.
"Sharp."
He praised it.
The Gui Lingshuang Sisters: "..."
Compared to a monster like you, what's so impressive about this?
"I've heard that by comprehending three Chaos Star, one can weave together a Chaos Law. Have you already mastered the Chaos Law?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask curiously.
The Chaos Law represents a qualitative change, greatly enhancing combat power, equivalent to the Extreme Realm of the Immortal Lord.
Upon hearing this, the two Sisters' lips twitched again. They said, "You've heard quite a lot of news. Have you ever heard that weaving the Chaos Law is extremely difficult? Some people have comprehended more than a dozen Chaos Star, yet they still haven't been able to select three that can be used to weave the Chaos Law?"
"Well?"
Li Hao hadn't heard of this before. His senior Senior Brother Senior Sister had only told him that three Chaos Star could condense a Chaos Law.
And that's what Master said too: 69 Chaos Stars form 23 Chaos Law.
Seeing Li Hao's astonished expression, the Gui Lingshuang Sisters felt a blow to their spirits, and were left speechless.
"Did you really just arrive? Or did you come earlier, but sneaked in so we didn't notice?"
Gui Lingyue couldn't help but ask.
Her face was full of suspicion, even doubting herself. Could it be that they had been too engrossed in their cultivation?
"Why are you doing this secretly?" Li Hao asked, puzzled.
Gui Lingyue was speechless. Yes, why all the sneaking around? Just for this moment to make a name for themselves?
Comprehending only the Chaos One Star isn't exactly groundbreaking, but if someone truly comprehends it right after arriving, that's not just groundbreaking, it's terrifying!
At this moment, Gui Lingshuang was about to say something when her gaze suddenly shifted and landed behind Li Hao, where two figures walked silently. It was Sword Heart and Mingyue.
Sword Heart and Mingyue overheard the conversation between the two Ghost Clan Sisters and Li Hao, and their expressions became extremely complicated, showing shock and bewilderment.
"You say you just arrived? That's impossible. How could someone comprehend this Chaos Star so soon after arriving? According to you, you could comprehend all 69 Chaos Stars in just two months?!"
Mingyue gritted her teeth, glaring angrily at Li Hao. She felt that Li Hao must have been hiding all along, afraid to face her and her Senior Brother, and only dared to reveal himself in front of them today after comprehending this Chaos Star.
Sword Heart looked at Li Hao with a complicated expression. He shared some of the Dharma Form as his Junior Sister, but he also had a gut feeling that the young man in front of him didn't seem like that kind of person.
Although they were rivals, and might even become enemies in the Future, he felt, for some reason, that he understood the young man before him and believed he was not the kind of despicable and treacherous person.
Li Hao hadn't expected these two to come too, and his expression immediately turned cold. He said irritably:
"Whether I'm new or not, what does that have to do with you? How much time I spend comprehending the Chaos Star, what does that have to do with you?"
"You..."
Mingyue was speechless, rendered speechless by Li Hao's words. But she gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, refusing to believe that Li Hao could truly comprehend it in a day—that was simply impossible!
Even though she and her Senior Brother have been here for several years, they are still a little short of comprehending it.
It should be noted that Sword Heart is from the Ancient Sword Immortal Clan, possessing the strongest physique in Sword Dao Aptitude and being one of the clan's top Heavenly Prodigy. Even he found it so difficult to comprehend this Chaos Sword Star, let alone others.
Li Hao, too lazy to pay any more attention to the two, said to the Ghost Clan Sisters:
"I'll go explore other Chaos Star; we'll meet again sometime."
The two Ghost Clan Sisters reacted. Gui Lingyue opened her mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say. Gui Lingshuang, however, suddenly said:
"If you've really just arrived in the Original True World, then you need to be careful."
"Be careful?"
Li Hao paused slightly, looking at her with a puzzled expression. His tone was not a threat, but a reminder.
Gui Lingshuang glanced at Sword Heart and Mingyue beside Li Hao, slightly pursed her lips, but didn't hide it, and said:
"Besides them, the Supreme has other disciples. Although they are not his Personal Disciple, some of the inner disciple come from powerful clans and have long been here to cultivate in seclusion because of their clan's resources. Although their Heavenly Talent is not as good as yours, but..."
She didn't continue.
They came here to cultivate early, and although their Heavenly Talent was inferior, their combat strength far surpassed that of others.
Upon hearing her words, both Sword Heart and Mingyue's expressions changed. Mingyue exclaimed in shock and anger:
"What nonsense are you spouting? My Heavenly Palace is not a place where the strong bully the weak. If we were going to take action, we would have done it already."
Gui Lingshuang raised an eyebrow, a clear hint of disdain appearing at the corner of her mouth.
This is not the Southern Region, but the Original True World.
The Supreme's hand cannot reach here. Besides, the Ghost Clan is not afraid of the Supreme Ghost Clan, and they have not committed any serious offense. If the Supreme dares to attack them, the Ghost Clan will certainly not let it go.
Seeing the disdain on Gui Lingshuang's lips, Mingyue trembled with anger. When her eyes met Gui Lingshuang's, she suddenly understood the reason for his disdain—"Your Master has already attacked him, and you still say you won't bully the weak?"
In an instant, her face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she couldn't speak.
Sword Heart also understood the meaning behind the expressions of the two Ghost Clan Sisters, and his expression changed slightly. He looked at Li Hao and said in a deep voice:
"Here, we guarantee we won't cause you trouble unless you provoke us. Whenever you catch up to us, you can come and challenge us for revenge!"
"Your lives are not worth as much as your Master's."
Li Hao, too lazy to argue with the two, left a message and waved goodbye to the Ghost Clan Sisters.
"What do you mean by that? It's as if you can really catch up with us!" Mingyue retorted angrily upon hearing Li Hao's words.
A glint of Sword Qi flashed in Li Hao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. This was a forbidden private duel within the Chaos Star; it wasn't worth breaking the rules for these two.
"Ignorance."
Shi Miao followed Li Hao closely, passing by the two of them, leaving a casual remark before departing with Li Hao.
Mingyue's face darkened, and she stomped her foot angrily. "There must be another reason! I don't believe you can comprehend it in a day. If that's the case, I'll see how quickly you can comprehend other Chaos Star!"
"Sister, let's go too, let's hurry and get to our cultivation."
Seeing Li Hao leave, Gui Lingshuang also spoke to Gui Lingyue beside her.
Gui Lingyue nodded, glanced at Mingyue, and said sarcastically, "It's indeed time to work harder. Some people have forgotten that they were defeated by others back then. Now, they've only started Twenty Years ahead, and they think they can stay ahead all the way. It's as if they've forgotten that others' Soul Lifespan is only a hundred years, while they're already four or five hundred years old. They couldn't even beat them after starting more than four hundred years ahead, so how can they beat them in Twenty Years? Ha..."
After saying that, he followed Gui Lingshuang and flew towards the Chaos Stone Wall.
These words were extremely blunt, and Mingyue's face immediately changed, but this time it wasn't from anger, but rather from a pale expression.
She suddenly remembered just how far ahead that boy was of them in the Southern Region!
Seeing Mingyue's hesitant expression, Sword Heart said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister, don't overthink it. Since he's chasing us, let's run faster!"
Mingyue snapped out of her daze, a hint of grievance appearing in her eyes. She had a feeling that decades later, that young man would soon become famous in the Original True World.
After leaving Chaos Sword Star, Shi Miao immediately took Li Hao to the neighboring Chaos Star.
"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of Chaos Comprehension. It seems that even if the first Chaos Star hadn't come to this Chaos Sword Star, you would have been able to comprehend it."
Shi Miao said to Li Hao.
Li Hao recalled Mingyue's words and couldn't help but ask curiously, "These Chaos Star must have varying degrees of difficulty in comprehending them, right? If one comprehends all 69 of them, wouldn't one be able to reach the top immediately?"
He hadn't expected that simply adding points to the Second Dan the Chaos Dao would be so incredible. If he could easily comprehend a Chaos Star at just the Second Dan, what would he be able to do at the fourth or fifth stage?!
Shi Miao shook her head and said, "Comprehending 69 Chaos Star is just the foundation. To rank higher, you need to look at the Chaos Law. Three Chaos Star can form one Chaos Law. Only by comprehending all Twenty-Three Chaos Laws can you rank in the Top Five."
Li Hao was stunned. 69 Chaos Stars? That was just the beginning?
"He comprehended all 23 Chaos Law and only ranked 50,000th?!"
Li Hao's eyes widened slightly. What level did being ranked ninth mean?
"After fully comprehending the Chaos Law, there is still room for improvement: fusing the Chaos Law together, the more Refinement, the stronger you become!"
"While the Chaos Law can be understood as the Extreme Realm the Immortal Lord, even the Extreme Realm have different levels, such as the Primal Spirit Golden Vein, Golden Bone, and True God Blood —all of which are different stages!"
Shi Miao said.
Li Hao was stunned, then immediately understood.
The Chaos Law comprehended by the three Xingchen were merely the initial Chaos Law.
The fusion of Chaos Law is the true anomaly, an even more terrifying existence!
"The path to the Immortal Lord Realm... seems quite long," Li Hao suddenly remarked.
Reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord Realm seems to be extremely difficult!
Previously in the True Realm, he fought against the Demon Prodigies "Heiji," as well as Heavenly Prodigy from the Human Race such as the Jiang Family, Lin Clan, and Su Clan families. They hadn't even mastered the Chaos Law, yet they were already top Prodigy in the Northern Region.
"No wonder everyone comes to the Original True World. The gap is indeed too big if you study here!" Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
Shi Miao said, "If you want to take the fastest way to increase your combat power, you shouldn't try to comprehend all the Chaos Star, but rather choose three Chaos Star that are similar to the Great Dao you are good at, comprehend them, and then begin to condense the Chaos Law!"
"Comprehending the 69 Chaos Stars is not as effective as condensing a single Chaos Law to generate combat strength. Do you understand?"
Li Hao nodded. Although 69 Chaos Stars, they were still only at the level of a single Chaos Star, and the level had not risen much.
The Chaos Law represents a qualitative leap.
Refinement even more Chaos Law will lead to a mutation and further advancement!
"So, the strongest Immortal Lord Realm must be someone who Refinement 23 Chaos Law, right?" Li Hao asked.
Shi Miao nodded. "That is indeed close to the Ultimate existence."
Li Hao sighed, wondering how many stages he would need to reach to achieve his Chaos Dao.
Before long, Li Hao and Shi Miao arrived at another Chaos Star.
Having traversed the Time-Space Array, Descent upon this Chaos Star.
Shi Miao identified the location and led Li Hao directly to the Underground Cavern of this Chaos Star.
Soon, when Li Hao arrived at the Underground Cavern of this Chaos Star, he found that it was very similar to the Chaos Sword Star he had seen before.
However, here, the focus is on the Blade Dao Source and the Sword Dao originated from the Golden Dao Source of Metal Dao and were derived from it. For Li Hao, although it is not as familiar as the Sword Dao, it is not too unfamiliar either.
Upon arriving at this place, Li Hao scanned the area but did not see any familiar faces.
He didn't pay much attention and went to the Chaos Stone Wall, gazing intently at it.
Upon seeing this, Li Hao immediately felt the same way he had felt before.
On the Chaos Stone Wall before them, there were also 138 cracks of Principle, intertwined with each other.
These cracks in the Principle were clearly visible to him, and he felt no sense of unfamiliarity with them.
"This arrangement is somewhat simplistic."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
He stood at the edge, gazing intently, and after about an hour, he had made up his mind.
"I'll give it a try."
Li Hao said.
Shi Miao's eyes widened in surprise. Although she knew Li Hao had special abilities, it was still quite astonishing that he could comprehend it so quickly.
She suspected that Li Hao might have already had a special understanding of the power of Chaos, but he just hadn't been able to unleash it before and didn't know how to use it.
Soon, the two arrived at the Chaos Pillar next to them.
At this moment, someone was undergoing a trial inside. Li Hao waited patiently to the side until the person finished the trial and the Chaos Pillar dimmed before making his move.
"Snort."
That person only activated 114 Chaos Pillar. Some of the Chaos Pillar were touched by him but not activated, which meant that he thought he had grasped the essence, but in reality, he was still lacking.
The young man snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied with himself. Seeing Li Hao step forward, he glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer, "Where did this unfamiliar face come from?"
But soon, Chaos Pillar emerged and began to shine, one after another.
Ten, twenty, fifty... In the blink of an eye, all 138 Chaos Pillar lit up!
A powerful Chaos Formation condensed, causing the entire Underground Cavern to tremble, and the Chaos Star itself seemed to quiver.
The sneer on the young man's lips Solidification.
In the center of the Chaos Pillar, Li Hao saw the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking reappear, and his own reflection on it rapidly climbed the ranks, reaching 1,169,287th!
The following shows Chaos Two Stars.
Entry time: one day.
Li Hao discovered that his ranking had jumped more than 30,000 places after only improving by one star!
"That's fast. It seems many people only reached the first star level before stagnating, either perishing or reaching their limit."
Li Hao Dark Dao to himself.
