Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1684 Chapter 424: The Name of Haotian, Instant Enlightenment!

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Li Hao arrives at the chaos pillars with Shi Miao, learning that activating these pillars serves as proof of one's comprehension of the stone wall's laws. While observing other geniuses struggle with the task, Li Hao unexpectedly reunites with Ghost Ling Yue and Ghost Ling Shuang, acquaintances from the Southern Domain. The sisters are shocked to find him alive but feel a sense of pity, believing his lower cultivation level is a result of years spent hiding from the Supreme’s suppression. As they reminisce about the past grand battle and Li Hao's status as the uncrowned king, they reveal that many of his former rivals and friends have already transitioned to the Primordial True Realm to study.

"Hmm."

Li Hao gave a slight nod. It was possible that his previous interaction with Sword Heart and Ming Yue had left an impression on them, though they likely failed to realize it during their trial at the Chaos Pillar.

"In that case..."

Ghost Ling Yue scrutinized Li Hao, exhaling a breath of relief upon seeing he was unharmed. She felt further settled when she recalled that private combat was strictly forbidden on the Chaos Star. Even so, she offered a word of caution:

"They have all achieved immense growth over the years. If they provoke you into a duel, do not be so quick to agree. Your departure from the Southern Domain caused the Heavenly Palace to lose a great deal of face, and many there still harbor a 'prejudice against you'..."

Li Hao felt a smile touch his face as he sensed the genuine concern in her voice. At times, the Human Race proved less virtuous than the Ghost Tribe.

"Do not worry, I will not take it to heart."

With a faint smile, Li Hao shifted his gaze toward the Chaos Pillar and asked, "How does the trial for this work? Is it enough to simply manifest my Dao Realm insights?"

"Yes."

Ghost Ling Yue nodded before looking at Li Hao earnestly. "Since you have only just arrived, your priority should be to meditate on the Chaos Stone Wall. Given your natural talent, it shouldn't take you decades to close the gap between you and the others."

Having witnessed his capabilities firsthand, they were well aware of just how monstrous Li Hao's talent was.

Li Hao replied, "I have already viewed the Stone Wall. Now, I wish to see if I have truly grasped it."

"What?"

Both Ghost Ling Yue and her sister stared at Li Hao, their expressions filled with confusion.

They understood the words he spoke, yet the meaning behind the sentence seemed utterly baffling.

What exactly was he trying to say?

Before the sisters could provide a response, Li Hao waved them a brief farewell. Noticing another figure finishing their verification among the Chaos Pillars—causing several of them to dim—he immediately sprang into motion.

The two girls snapped out of their daze, watching Li Hao’s movements with shock. Was he truly intending to begin the test right now?

"Maybe he just wants to gauge his current standing."

The sisters quickly tried to rationalize the situation. However, that thought had barely formed when they saw Li Hao press his palm against a Chaos Pillar. Crackling lines of laws surged from his hand. Suddenly, as if infused with a tidal wave of energy, the dormant cracks on the Chaos Pillar flared to life, glowing as brilliantly as a soaring dragon and bathing the area in radiant light.

"This..."

Before they could even process their shock, Li Hao’s silhouette had already darted to the next Chaos Pillar.

With a light tap of his hand, that Chaos Pillar ignited, and the law-infused cracks bloomed with power.

Li Hao moved like a flash of lightning between the pillars, activating every single one he touched.

Ten pillars, twenty pillars, forty pillars...

He wove through the forest of stone like a firefly dancing in the darkness, leaving a trail of brilliance in his wake.

Every dormant Chaos Pillar he passed was instantly awakened; not a single one failed to respond.

This spectacle drew the eyes of everyone in the vicinity, who watched with rapt attention. It didn't take long for them to realize that the speed at which this youth was triggering the pillars was unnatural, and his success rate was even more terrifying—a perfect one hundred percent!

"Who is that youth?"

"Incredible! He has already surpassed seventy pillars!"

"He hasn't failed once; every single one has been activated. I don't recognize his face at all."

"Eighty pillars already!"

Amidst the frantic whispers of the crowd, Li Hao’s graceful form continued to glide like a startled swan or a butterfly drifting through a field of flowers. In the blink of an eye, he had lit up over ninety Chaos Pillars.

Yet, Li Hao did not slow down, maintaining his relentless pace. By the time he reached the hundred-and-tenth pillar, many of the prodigies who had been meditating on the sidelines were forced to their feet, unable to maintain their composure!

Li Hao did not falter. Within a few breaths, all 138 Chaos Pillars had been ignited. The intricate lines of law entwined around the stone, and the collective radiance became blinding, releasing a vast and sovereign chaos aura that hummed through the cavern like a deep, ancient chant.

In that instant, it felt as though the entire Chaos Star was trembling slightly, sending out ripples of pure, joyous resonance!

Standing nearby, Ghost Ling Yue and Ghost Ling Shuang could only stare, their faces frozen in a state of total bewilderment.
