Chapter 649: Chapter 117: Fourfold Test, Unparalleled Grace (Long Chapter)_6

Their ages appeared in the Bone-Reflecting Mirror, some were hundreds of years old, while the youngest, the Bright Moon Sword, was only fourteen years old, two years younger than Li Hao.

His cultivation with the Celestial Master Realm had him step onto the Ascension Stairs. He did not ignite the Extreme Tao Stele, but as he ascended the forty-nine steps, the small tower shook and cast a purple light upon him.

As the light retracted, a buzzing sound emanated from within the tower.

"Dao Heart chimes!"

A light exclamation came from within the Immortal Gate, "Could it be a natural mutant body?"

With the arrival of the Bright Moon Sword, exclamations continued to erupt, someone shouted, "I want this youth for my Void Holy Land!"

Those outside heard these murmurs, somewhat surprised, was the youth's physique extraordinary?

Emperor Yu saw Li Hao sitting beside him, appearing to do nothing, and said, "You should go too."

"Mm."

Li Hao nodded, no longer declining, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please remember to help me look for Little White Fox. It's my companion."

"Understood," Emperor Yu nodded.

Li Hao then called out to Ren Qianqian, asking her to make some preparations.

Ren Qianqian was nervous and apprehensive; having seen many fail before, her heart was tight.

Seeing her tense up, Li Hao smiled and said, "Don't rush, adjust slowly. With your strength, though not at the Extreme Realm, your talent is quite commendable."

Hearing this, Ren Qianqian took a deep breath, slowly released it, and earnestly said, "I am ready, Young Master."

Li Hao nodded, and promptly soared into the air with her.

As they reached the airspace above the plaza, a figure dashed out from the crowd and rushed towards the Ascension Stairs.

"Youngster, old man's going first."

This figure was Jiang Lichen.

His figure flashed as he stepped onto the Ascension Stairs, quickly activating the second Heaven and Earth Vein of the Extreme Realm, and soon after sprinted the forty-nine steps.

Simultaneously, the small tower shook, the purple light illuminating him, and then it retracted.

The purple light changed, unexpectedly turning black.

At the same time, a humming sound came from inside.

"Earth-level Dao Heart?!"

Exclamations of shock emerged from within the Immortal Gate.

"And it's also a natural mutant body, unknown of what kind!"

Someone else exclaimed.

Jiang Lichen's figure had already stepped into the Immortal Gate.

Inside, low voices caused a stir, seeming to shock many as they heatedly debated something.

People on the plaza were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened, but they sensed that something significant had.

Jiang Ziyan's face showed astonishment; she vaguely recognized the man's face, seeming to be her royal uncle, but he had an Earth-level Dao Heart?

This was a heart possessed only by Saints!

Ordinary people below did not know how precious this was, but in the vast Land of All Saints, they were exceedingly rare!

Jiang Ziyan could never have imagined that such a prodigious monster would emerge from her Imperial Family!

"Could it be, will my Jiang family produce two Saints in the future?"

Jiang Ziyan was a bit dazed, adding to the revived Ancestor, this royal uncle with an Earth-level Dao Heart, if nothing unexpected occurs, according to those in the Land of All Saints who possessed Earth-level Dao Hearts, also likely had the potential of Ask Sage.

"You go first, Young Master, I need a bit more time to adjust."

Ren Qianqian told Li Hao, the sensation caused by Jiang Lichen made her anxious again.

A mediocre student dared not follow directly after top students… Seeing her this way, Li Hao felt somewhat helpless. This little girl, though proficient in swordsmanship training by his side, lacked real battle experience and was somewhat timid in spirit.

"Alright then."

Li Hao did not delay and started walking forward.

Jiang Ziyan saw Li Hao finally approaching the Immortal Gate, her eyes slightly narrowing as she watched.

She perceived this young celestial emperor as extremely extraordinary, a reincarnated Saint capable of competing with six at the Dao Law Realm; she just didn't know what level of talent he would display.

And at this moment, Li Hao also arrived in front of the Ascension Stairs.

Below in the plaza, many people recognized Li Hao's identity.

"That's the Haotian General!"

"Our Dayu's foremost Heavenly General, is he also entering the Immortal Gate?"

Many looked up, their faces showing a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

At that moment, ancient script appeared on the Bone-Reflecting Mirror.

It displayed Li Hao's age.

16 years old.

Seeing this age, many were slightly taken aback.

Chapter 650: Chapter 118 Seven Extreme Realm, Heart of the Heavenly Dao (First Update)

Although this age was not the youngest among those who had tested earlier, like the Bright Moon Sword who was only fourteen years old.

But age is one thing, cultivation is another.

Li Hao's strength was there for all to see, and combined with his various deeds, many of the older generation couldn't help but sigh softly, shaking their heads with wry smiles, some of them had reached a height at sixteen that they could only look up to.

"Hao is going up!"

"He's really going to the Immortal Gate…"

Outside the crowd, Li Yuanzhao's face was filled with excitement, Li Wushuang and Li Zhining had complex expressions in their eyes. That bright pearl that had emerged from the Mountain and River Courtyard was now shining over the entire Dayu.

After witnessing the challenges of others earlier, they realized that this Immortal Gate selection was extremely strict; most likely, they would not be chosen.

However, for Li Hao, it should be extremely easy, right…

As his age was shown by the Bone-Reflecting Mirror, Li Hao didn't linger and strode towards the Ascension Stairs.

No sooner had he stepped onto the Ascension Stairs than the oppressive power of laws descended upon him like a mountain, weighing heavily on his shoulders.

Is this the oppression of the Ascension Stairs?

Li Hao's expression remained unchanged, his step didn't falter in the slightest, and with one stride, he reached the tenth step.

At this moment, as the two Extreme Tao Steles were surpassed, they also began to glow, emitting divine radiance.

"The Extreme Tao Stele has been activated!"

"Double Extreme Realms, he's moving so quickly!"

Seeing Li Hao move so effortlessly up the Ascension Stairs, exclamations rang out across the plaza.

Jiang Ziyan and others were slightly stunned, their expressions suddenly solemn.

They knew that Li Hao was extraordinary, and such a situation was still acceptable to them.

Inside the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan God and many prodigies of the Ji Family laughed lightly at the surrounding exclamations from members of the Dayu Royal Family and others.

They knew that this was far from the young man's limit.

Back with the Ji Family, he was a Four Extremes Realm being, favored by a Saint.

Meanwhile, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao walked with a casual ease, the increasingly strong oppression of laws around him not affecting him much.

The Dao Power within his body circulated, and even though he hadn't completely consolidated the Tao Comprehension Realm, he was still much stronger than a conventional True Man Realm.

Soon, the Third Extreme Tao Stele lit up.

The Third Pole Realm, Heaven and Earth Law Manifestation!

Before a cry of amazement could rise, Li Hao continued to tread skyward, activating the Fourth Extreme Tao Stele!

The Primordial Spirit Extreme Realm!

Seeing that the youth passing by caused all Extreme Tao Steles to light up, Jiang Ziyan was somewhat stunned.

Four Extremes Realm?

Her cool, bright eyes became slightly lost. Having spent over a hundred years in the Land of All Saints, she was very clear about what exceptional talent for the Four Extremes Realm meant—it could lead directly to becoming a disciple of a Saint!

No wonder, no wonder he could reverse-slay six beings from the Dao Law Realm.

Her slim hands couldn't help but clench slightly, her eyes reflecting the figure of that young man.

In the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan God and others were also stunned. They had seen Li Hao's test at the Ji Family before. Although he had activated four Extreme Realms then, one of them seemed to be the Sixth Extreme Realm.

And now, the Sixth Extreme Realm hadn't lit up yet; did this mean that Li Hao possessed five Extreme Realms?!

"This young man…"

While others were shocked and murmuring, three towering figures standing not far away also began to look serious and focused.

"Four Extremes Realm, could there really be such a seedling in the Mortal World?"

"Could it be the reincarnation or avatar of a Saint… huh? The Fifth Extreme Realm?!"

At this time, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao moved swiftly, and after crossing thirty steps, the Fifth Extreme Tao Stele also lit up.

The Returning Ruins Extreme Realm!

Seeing this, the previously buzzing square suddenly erupted into even more fervent discussions.

Five Extreme Realms!

The most they had seen before was Ji Xuan God, who had only activated two Extreme Tao Steles.

Although they could not fully understand what the Extreme Tao Stele meant, with a total of eight steles, activating two meant being fiercely contested within the Immortal Gate—such monstrous talent. Now that Li Hao had activated five, far surpassing others, it was enough to illustrate the gap.

Is this the talent of the Haotian General?!

The powerhouses within the Imperial City were dumbfounded and shocked silent.

They had heard the legends of the Haotian General, knew he was strong, but they were once again viscerally shocked.

Outside the Imperial Palace, Ji Tian Chao also recognized Li Hao, and at this moment he was stunned.

In his mind, he recalled the words of his third brother, bringing that child back to the Ji Family was the last contribution he made for the Ji Family!

That third brother had fought countless battles for the Ji Family in his life, and even before his soul dissipated, he brought back a prodigy of peerless talent to the Ji Family. Unfortunately, the Ji Family failed to hold on to him.

Ji Tian Chao's fingers clenched slightly, feeling a throbbing pain in his chest.

At this moment, on the Ascension Stairs, Li Hao couldn't be bothered to walk slowly anymore and sprinted upwards.

The Sixth, the Seventh!

One after another, two more Extreme Tao Steles lit up.

The Earth Immortal Extreme Realm!

The Undying Extreme Realm!!

Everywhere he passed, the Extreme Tao Steles lit up, as if holding up flowers for the sky-ascending young man, adding radiance to his figure!

At this moment, exclamations from the entire Imperial City came to an abrupt halt, falling silent.

Inside the Immortal Gate, Ji Xuan Shen, Jiang Lichen, and others all widened their eyes in shock, rendered speechless.

The seven representatives of the Dao Law Realm standing outside the Staircase to Heaven, who had originally maintained a calm and indifferent demeanor, now showed changed expressions, looking at the youth in alarm.

Jiang Ziyan stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

"…"

The whole world, both the heavens and the earth, seemed to fall silent.

Such a scene made everyone incredulous.

The towering figures that stood within the Immortal Gate, on par with heaven and earth, now had a look of gravity in their eyes that turned into astonishment.

If they had not known that the Extreme Tao Stele could not be mistaken, if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would hardly have believed it.

The Seven Extreme Realm, unparalleled throughout history, even they had not reached it!

Many Saints had been reborn to re-cultivate in pursuit of higher limits, and now…the distant legend actually appeared in the mortal world!

"Who is he?"

Ancestor Yu, looking like a middle-aged man, tall and sturdy, with eyes as impressive as the sun and moon, emanated an extraordinary aura with the brilliance of laws circulating, but at this moment his face was filled with shock, unable to hold back some gaffes.

The closer one was to the Saint Realm, the more they knew how terrifying the Seven Extreme Realm was.

No one responded; Ji Xuan Shen and the others were also stunned by Li Hao.

In the Ji Family, he only revealed the Four Extremes Realm, and in less than a year, Li Hao had actually reached the Seven Extreme Realm?!

Meanwhile, the youth on the Staircase to Heaven continued to walk forward.

When he passed the eighth Extreme Tao Stele, many people's pupils slightly constricted, their gaze fixed on that pitch-black stele.

But this time, the stele was not activated.

This outcome felt like an eased grip on their clutched hearts, allowing them to catch their breath, and they even began to sweat a little.

Ancestor Yu's focused eyes relaxed a bit, breathing a sigh of relief. If Li Hao had reached the Eight Extreme Realm, it would have truly shocked the entire Land of All Saints.

However, even the Seven Extreme Realm was likely enough to cause a stir within the entire Immortal Gate!

Once the news spread, there would surely be countless forces vying for him.

Those Saints would probably come down to claim him personally.

Such a prodigy was too exaggerated.

How could such a person be born in the human world?

"Seven Extreme Realm, just one step away from the Eight Extreme Realm, but he's only 16…"

A woman nearby, shrouded in a hazy mist and graceful as a goddess, whispered in shock.

Her voice was elegant and melodious, lingering with the aftertaste of laws, clear as spring water, carrying an ethereal and lonely temperament.

Hearing the Phoenix Ancestor's words, the crowd came to their senses, only to be shocked once again.

Yes, the youth was only sixteen years old…

Inconceivable, incomprehensible!

Aside from Ji Xuan Shen and others, representatives of the various Cloud Realm forces who had come to take disciples were also bewildered.

They had witnessed the reincarnation of Saints, but even so, they could not have anticipated such a monstrous growth rate.

Unless the other party was a living Saint, which was even more impossible, as Saints would not be so bore, nor would they reveal themselves in the mortal world.

And now, Li Hao walked towards the last nine steps, arriving in front of the gates of the Immortal Gate.

Seeing the youth standing outside the Immortal Gate, even though they knew he could not see them, for some reason, the representatives from various forces felt nervous, with some even swallowing nervously.

They had never felt this way before; they were from major forces of the Land of All Saints, coming to the mortal world to take disciples was to give the mortal world an opportunity.

Now, however, they felt as if they were being offered an opportunity by the youth, an opportunity they couldn't grasp. Such a prodigy must undoubtedly be the target of a struggle by Saints from various holy lands!

"This guy…"

Jiang Lichen had recovered his wits, looking at the youth who was almost within arm's reach with a mix of astonishment and speechlessness. Either you reveal nothing, or you make such a spectacle, making them, who were just in the spotlight, suddenly lose all their shine.

Ji Xuan Shen and the others exchanged glances, seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes. They had thought that chasing the youth to the Land of All Saints would close the gap between them, but before they could even start, they were left far behind.

Apart from the bitterness, they also had a special premonition. Although overshadowed for being in the same era as Li Hao, it seemed they might witness the rise of a Saint.

With such talent, if Li Hao couldn't become a Saint, they felt that no one in the world could!

"It should be an Earth-level Dao Heart as well."

Seeing the small tower spinning, ready to test Li Hao, everyone fell silent.

With such qualifications, the Dao Heart was no longer important, but they knew that for such a genius, the Dao Heart would not be lacking, at worst it would be a Profound Level Dao Heart.

At this time, outside the Immortal Gate, the light from the small tower had already retracted from Li Hao.

With the purple light retracted, the tower did not change, as if the purple light was absorbed, the tower fell into silence.

For a long time, the tower gave no response.

Such an odd scene left many inside the Immortal Gate stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Is the Dao Heart Tower broken?"

Many representatives asked in surprise.

The three Semi-Saint elders, however, were taken aback. They were seeing such an unexpected situation for the first time.

Regardless of the type of Dao Heart, the Dao Heart Tower would show it, but now it was as if it had gone silent, showing no reaction at all.

After a brief silence, Ancestor Yu suddenly changed his expression, a look of shock in his eyes:

"Could it be his Dao Heart has never been seen before, surpassing the Earth-level Dao Heart?"

If Li Hao hadn't activated the Seven Extreme Realms, he would never have entertained such an outrageous thought, but now he couldn't help but speculate.

Hearing his words, the crowd once again fell into a slight silence.
