"Resurrection?"
Li Hao was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing momentarily before quickly relaxing.
Since he can resurrect, I'll just kill him again when I have the chance in the future.
As expected of a Sage's reincarnation, he does have some hidden cards.
But his current opponents weren't these Dao Realm experts, but rather the Sage assassinations he could encounter at any moment. The Buddha Lord of the Buddhist sect and the Void Sage had already learned of his whereabouts and wouldn't easily watch him continue to grow stronger.
"During the Supreme Heavenly Pride Battle, he might cause you trouble."
Lin Qingying said to Li Hao, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Hao refocused his thoughts and shook his head, "A defeated foe, nothing to worry about."
Hearing Li Hao's simple response, Lin Qingying's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't feel Li Hao was being arrogant. The battle with the Buddhist sect had revealed Li Hao's sharp edge, making him famous throughout Canglan. Unless a Sage intervened, there might not be many opponents who could challenge him.
"Buddhism won't let this rest, you need to be careful."
Lin Qingying said softly again, then took a deep look at Li Hao.
Li Hao nodded. At this moment, he saw a handsome young man in black clothes walking over from the crowd.
"Haotian."
The black-clad youth smiled at Li Hao.
Li Hao recognized the voice as familiar and immediately recalled, "Qingjiu?"
"I didn't expect to see you here. This is our first real-world meeting, right? I watched that battle of yours, amazing!"
Qingjiu smiled at Li Hao, but there was a hint of chagrin in his eyes.
Previously, at the Flower Parade Gathering, he was the youngest member and also participating in this Supreme Heavenly Pride Battle, attracting much attention. He had become somewhat complacent, but he hadn't expected to encounter someone like Haotian, instantly shattering his slight arrogance.
However, he wasn't jealous, but rather awakened, realizing that the Dao Realm's potential was still very high, and he was far from reaching its limit.
After calming down, his cultivation had made a small step forward, something he had to thank Haotian for.
"You're here to cultivate as well?"
Li Hao asked.
Qingjiu laughed, "With the great battle approaching, knowing these guys would come here to measure themselves, I came to join in the fun. You should leave your name too. I bet it will be golden light, maybe even three flashes of golden light!"
Hearing his words, others who were not interested in or didn't know Li Hao were slightly surprised and turned their gazes.
They were unaware of the events in Canglan Realm, and hadn't heard of the Twin Buddha Sons, but the three flashes of golden light were known throughout the heavens. This Heavenly Pride, who could leave a golden name, was saying this youth had the potential for three flashes of golden light?!
Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei and others looked at Li Hao in astonishment.
They knew Li Hao's background was mysterious, but they hadn't expected him to have so many friends. Moreover, the Qingjiu before them was from a Holy Land in a mid-level small world, extremely famous, having shown his talent over a decade ago and his reputation already spread far and wide. He was actually also an acquaintance of Li Hao and believed Li Hao could achieve three flashes of golden light, which was currently the highest level of naming!
The group from the Lying Heaven Holy Land and others also fixed their eyes on Li Hao, realizing this person was extraordinary, no wonder he was appreciated by their master.
"Who is that person? Never heard of him."
"Heard there was a monstrous talent from Canglan Realm, seems to be him."
"Hmph, three flashes of golden light, isn't he afraid of biting off more than he can chew? That's Supreme aptitude, many Sages in their youth only achieved one or two flashes of golden light, how could it be so exaggerated."
"Haotian, that name sounds familiar, I seem to remember there's a Heavens-wide wanted order, if you can kill him, you can go to the Buddhist sect to exchange for treasures and divine powers, and also rich incense offerings!"
Many figures around the Heavenly Stele cast their gazes towards Li Hao, some with curious scrutiny, others with disdainful sneers and ill intentions.
Lin Shuhai smiled at Li Hao and nodded in greeting.
Li Hao nodded back. Lin Baichuan beside him said, "Brother Haotian, you catch up, we'll go leave our names first."
After speaking, he impatiently went to the Heavenly Stele.
Li Hao didn't have much to catch up on. Seeing this, he looked towards him and asked Qingjiu beside him:
"Is there any benefit to leaving a name on this Heavenly Stele?"
"Benefit?"
Qingjiu was stunned, and couldn't help but look at Li Hao strangely, "Being able to see your own aptitude, isn't that a benefit?"
Li Hao was slightly disappointed when he heard this, meaning there was nothing else?
Qingjiu saw the disappointment in Li Hao's eyes and was speechless. Being able to leave a name on the Heavenly Stele was an extremely glorious thing, spreading fame throughout the heavens, and Li Hao was actually still thinking about benefits.
"It's purple light!"
"It flashed, it flashed again!"
At this moment, a series of exclamations rang out.
At the Heavenly Stele, Lin Baichuan reached out and touched the towering ancient stele. Where he made contact, the void sparked with electricity, and a dazzling purple light appeared on the stele, representing Lin Baichuan's name.
The purple light on the name flickered, flashing twice in succession before slowly receding, turning into a purple name, ranked in the upper-middle section of the Heavenly Stele, while at the bottom, a blue light name quietly disappeared.
"Two flashes of purple light, as expected of Senior Brother Lin."
Several Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Lying Heaven Holy Land showed smiles in their eyes.
There were Heavenly Prides from all over the heavens around the Heavenly Stele. Although they were competitors within their Holy Land, at this moment, they had a sense of shared honor and disgrace, and were all happy for Lin Baichuan.
Chu Hanwei looked at Li Hao, then at Qingjiu. She was perceptive and noticed Qingjiu's name was already on the Heavenly Stele, the characters as if branded in gold, impressively a golden name.
Someone who could impress a person like this, the Haotian beside her must be even more extraordinary. She couldn't help but feel curious in her heart.
"Two flashes…"
Lin Baichuan looked at his name, but his eyes were somewhat complicated.
If it were before, he would have been quite satisfied with such a performance, but the conversation between Li Hao and Qingjiu just now made him feel a little uncomfortable.
He silently retreated to the side of the stele, glanced at Li Hao, wanting to see if the name Li Hao left later would really be as Qingjiu said, and achieve three flashes of golden light.
After Lin Baichuan finished, the others also couldn't wait to step forward to leave their names.
The weakest among them was three flashes of blue light, and the rest were all purple light, with one or two flashes varying.
Chu Hanwei also stepped forward to leave her name, and like Lin Baichuan, she achieved two flashes of purple light, ranked at the forefront of the Heavenly Stele, also considered an unparalleled genius.
Li Hao looked at the Heavenly Stele, and saw a familiar name on it, Bian Ruxue.
The other party was a purple name, but ranked ahead of Lin Baichuan and others, it should be three flashes.
Lin Qingying was also a purple name, but ranked ahead of Bian Ruxue.
"My swordplay has already entered the Dao, using no-Dao as Dao."
Lin Qingying saw Li Hao looking at her name and whispered telepathically.
Li Hao was slightly stunned, looking at her in surprise. From the time he gave her guidance until now, only a short period had passed, and the other party had actually entered the Dao with her swordplay?
One must know that entering the Dao with swordplay was enough to be ranked among the top tier.
"Then you need to consolidate it and strive for sword Dao perfection, offering your sword to become a Sage!"
Li Hao transmitted his voice.
Lin Qingying was taken aback. Seeing Li Hao's calm expression, she was somewhat speechless. Even Sages wouldn't dare to easily say words like 'offering Dao to become a Sage', but the other party looked so serious.
Even though her swordplay had now entered the Dao, she didn't dare to expect to offer Dao to become a Sage, but Li Hao's expectation… suddenly sparked motivation in her.
Li Hao looked at the Heavenly Stele again. Ahead of Lin Qingying were Lin Shuhai and Chiguang, also both purple names.
On the contrary, Qingjiu was actually a golden name, ranked at the bottom of the seven golden names.
Li Hao couldn't help but glance at Qingjiu. Stronger than Chiguang and Lin Shuhai, the other party should also have entered the Dao with a technique, and mastered the six extreme realms.
"We've all tested, Brother Haotian, it's your turn."
Lin Baichuan and others returned. They had expected their naming results, neither disappointed nor particularly surprised.
Li Hao nodded slightly. Since he was here anyway, there was no need to miss it.
Seeing Li Hao step forward, many people's gazes fell on him.
"Heh, three flashes of golden light, is Qingjiu trying to praise him to death?"
"Even Senior Brother Xiao couldn't achieve three flashes, does he deserve it?"
In the crowd, several figures gathered, all of them were distinguished, but one person was at the forefront.
At this moment, the noble youth in the center looked rather solemn, not responding to the Holy Son's flattery beside him.
He came from a mid-level small world, and his master had shown him the projection of Canglan Realm, so he naturally recognized the young man before him. He was very terrifying, able to suppress many Half-Sages with just his Dao Domain. Saying he could achieve three flashes of golden light was probably not an exaggeration!
"Born in a lower realm, yet he dares to dream of three flashes of golden light, laughable!"
In another place, a woman draped in silk and satin, with a graceful figure and three red heart markings between her brows, like a goddess, looked coldly at Li Hao walking towards the Heavenly Stele, her eyes revealing arrogance and aloofness.
"These lower realm bumpkins have shallow vision, how could they know the significance of three flashes of golden light."
The woman beside her echoed in a low voice.
Hearing their words, several Holy Sons beside them looked towards them. When they recognized their identities, the displeasure in their eyes subtly changed color, and they withdrew their gazes.
At this moment, Li Hao had already flown to the Heavenly Stele, without stopping, he raised his hand to touch it.
As his palm touched this ancient stele that had existed for endless years, Li Hao felt electric light emerge from his palm, and heard the rumbling of Dao sounds like thunder in his ears.
It seemed like something swept through his body. Li Hao's perception was sharp, and his heart suddenly chilled. It seemed to be a gaze!
That feeling was supreme, a bit like the Sixth Boundary he had touched, Celestial Venerable!
However, this was different from Celestial Venerable, but equally indifferent and supreme.
Li Hao's heart was chilled. The more he cultivated, the more he felt a sense of awe, always feeling that there were unknown terrifying existences in this world.
Just like scholars, the more they read, the more humble they become, knowing their own insignificance, while the half-baked often feel they are knowledgeable and talented, and become arrogant.
While Li Hao's thoughts were turning, the electric light in his palm became more intense, bursting out with dazzling electric芒.
This electric芒 did not cause harm, it was a manifestation of Dao rhythm.
The dim light covered by clouds and mist around seemed to become even darker.
Li Hao withdrew his palm and looked up. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt the Heavenly Stele faintly tremble.
On the top of the stele, suddenly a dazzling blood light surged out!
The blood light emerged from the top of the stele, like fresh blood seeping out of the ancient stele, but the blood light quickly strengthened, like a blood-red moon descending on the top of the stele, emitting a hazy blood-colored halo, illuminating all directions of the Heavenly Stele.
The previous discussions all quieted down, and everyone was stunned, staring blankly at this scene.
The blood light floated above the golden names, positioned supremely high, and centered in the middle of the first row of the Heavenly Ranking.
If it were a ranking list, this name would be like the list's title!
The dazzling blood light contracted, restrained, turning into an intense and extremely deep crimson color, revealing two characters:
Haotian!
Seeing this scene, the scene was briefly quiet for a few breaths, before suddenly erupting into a boiling commotion.
"What is that?!"
"Blood characters, it's actually blood characters?!"
"Am I seeing things? It's not golden light, it's crimson blood light!"
"Rumor has it that the Heavenly Stele has seven colors, corresponding to the seven luminaries, it's actually true!"
The surrounding crowd was shocked. Those who were meditating and cultivating were also awakened. After understanding the situation, they were all dumbfounded.
Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei and others were stunned. Lin Baichuan's eyeballs almost popped out, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Names left throughout the heavens, and at that supreme position, a crimson blood name that carried an air of being unapproachable, as if looking down on all living beings, was located in the center of the stele, the font seemed to be even larger and more eye-catching than others.
"His name…"
Lin Qingying stared blankly at this scene, her eyes gradually blooming with brilliance, her gaze falling on the figure's back before the Heavenly Stele.
Chiguang, the Holy Son of皓月, Lin Shuhai and others were all stunned. Although they had expected Li Hao to most likely achieve three flashes of golden light and shock the audience, they hadn't expected it to be an unprecedented blood light!
This Heavenly Stele test, with the Great Dao directly looking upon him, could see the hidden details within his body. Could it be that in this period of time, the other party had made another breakthrough?
"How is it possible!"
Among the crowd, the noble youth also showed shock on his face. Being able to suppress many Half-Sages, could such strength directly trigger blood characters?
The goddess-like woman in another place, the sneer and arrogance on her face also froze, somewhat dazed.
"How is it possible, master back then, only achieved three flashes of golden light, and he is a Supreme Sage…"
The woman murmured to herself.
The names on the Heavenly Stele only remain for a thousand years. The names left by many Sages in their youth have long since disappeared.
"It's actually blood light, the rumors are actually true."
Someone said in shock.
While the surroundings were boiling, Li Hao's expression was somewhat bewildered. Just now, a crimson light shadow shot into his sea of consciousness. Accompanied by a rich Dao rhythm, in his mind, the crimson light turned into a small bell.
He touched it with his mind, and the bell rang and vibrated, like the Brahma sound of the Great Dao, making him feel a tremor throughout his body. Thoughts surged in his sea of consciousness, and in an instant, it seemed like countless thoughts arose.
Li Hao came back to his senses, secretly shocked. The small bell transformed from the crimson light, just vibrated once, and seemed to give him an opportunity similar to enlightenment.
His sea of consciousness was full of Dao rhythm. If he were to enter closed-door cultivation at this time, or comprehend a certain cultivation technique, it would definitely be twice the result with half the effort!
This was equivalent to condensing the Dao sound of thunder into a bell, and having it vibrate in his sea of consciousness for him.
But the Dao sound of thunder was nurtured by heaven and earth, born from Dao. What kind of figure's means could condense and refine it, and seal it in his sea of consciousness?
Li Hao couldn't think too much. Now was a good opportunity for cultivation. Whether it was contemplating chess Dao or painting Dao, it could bring him considerable gains.
He withdrew from the Heavenly Stele and came outside, sitting cross-legged, supporting a barrier around himself.
Outside the Heavenly Stele, Lin Baichuan and Chu Hanwei and others came back to their senses. They were still thinking of going forward to congratulate Li Hao, but seeing Li Hao finishing the test and immediately meditating and cultivating outside the stele, as if he had gained some insight, and his body was filled with rich Dao rhythm, they couldn't help but stop in their tracks.
Others also saw that Dao rhythm was flowing around Li Hao, obviously in the process of enlightenment.
"Leaving a name on the Heavenly Stele, could it also lead to enlightenment?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded.
If it was enlightenment in the midst of battle, or after a great battle, they wouldn't find it strange, but just leaving a name, could actually lead to enlightenment, this was too exaggerated.
"This…"
Qingjiu still wanted to go over and ask, but seeing Li Hao cultivating, he could only stop first.
