Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1688 Chapter 425: Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking_4
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Shi Miao shook his head, clarifying, "Grasping the 69 Chaotic Stars is merely the groundwork. The rankings beyond that are determined by one's comprehension of Chaos Laws. It takes three Chaotic Stars to form a single Chaos Law, and a cultivator must master all 23 Chaos Laws just to break into the top fifty thousand."
Li Hao was stunned by this revelation. Were sixty-nine Chaotic Stars really just the starting line?
"Mastering all 23 Chaos Laws only earns a spot in the top fifty thousand?!"
Li Hao’s eyes widened slightly as he contemplated the terrifying power required to reach the ninth rank.
"Even after all Chaos Laws are mastered, the path continues. Further progression comes from the integration of these Chaos Laws—your strength scales with how many you can fuse together!"
Shi Miao continued, "While Chaos Laws represent the Extreme Realm of an Immortal Lord, that realm itself is tiered. Much like the differences between Primordial Spirit Golden Veins, Golden Bones, and True God Blood, there are distinct layers of power!"
Li Hao was momentarily taken aback, but the logic clicked instantly.
The Chaos Laws derived from three stars were only the most basic form.
When those Chaos Laws are integrated, they undergo a mutation, evolving into something far more formidable!
"The journey through the Immortal Monarch Realm... appears to be quite a long one," Li Hao remarked suddenly.
Reaching the absolute peak of the Immortal Monarch Realm seemed like an immense undertaking!
Back in the True Realm, he had clashed with the demon prodigy 'Hei Ji' and the elite geniuses of the Jiang, Lin, and Su families. None of those Human Race prodigies had mastered a single Chaos Law, yet they were already considered the top monsters of the Northern Domain.
"It’s no wonder everyone flocks to the Primordial True Realm; the potential for advancement here is on a completely different level!" Li Hao mused.
Shi Miao advised, "If your goal is a rapid increase in combat power, don't focus on understanding every Chaotic Star. Instead, pick three stars that align with your Dao, master them, and begin condensing Chaos Laws immediately!"
"You must understand that comprehending all 69 Chaotic Stars cannot compare to the raw power granted by condensing just one Chaos Law."
Li Hao nodded in agreement. While 69 Chaotic Stars was an impressive quantity, they remained at the base level of a single star; the fundamental quality of power hadn't truly shifted.
In contrast, Chaos Laws provided a qualitative transformation.
Fusing multiple Chaos Laws resulted in a mutative upgrade, pushing one's strength even further!
"In that case, would the ultimate Immortal Monarch be someone who has fused all 23 Chaos Laws?" Li Hao inquired.
Shi Miao nodded, confirming, "That would indeed be an existence nearing the absolute limit."
Feeling a bit reflective, Li Hao wondered how many stages his own Chaos Dao would require to reach such a height.
Shortly after, Li Hao and Shi Miao reached a different Chaotic Star.
They descended onto the surface of this new world after traveling through the Space-Time Array.
After pinpointing their destination, Shi Miao led Li Hao straight into the depths of a subterranean cavern.
Upon entering the cave, Li Hao noted its striking resemblance to the previous Chaos Sword Star.
However, this location centered on Blade Dao Origin. Since both Blade Dao and Sword Dao stem from the Golden Dao Origin and evolved from the Golden Dao, the environment felt somewhat familiar to Li Hao, even if it wasn't as natural as the Sword Dao.
Scanning the area, Li Hao saw no recognizable faces.
He paid the others no mind, walking directly to the Chaos Stone Wall to focus his attention.
The moment he looked, that familiar sensation washed over him again.
The Chaos Stone Wall before him was etched with 138 intertwined law cracks.
To his eyes, the patterns within these cracks were transparent and easy to follow, lacking any sense of mystery.
"The arrangement here seems relatively basic."
Li Hao noted internally.
He stood at the perimeter, observing with intense focus, and reached a full understanding after roughly one hour.
"I'll give it a go," Li Hao announced.
Surprise flickered in Shi Miao's eyes; she was aware of Li Hao’s unique talents, but his speed of comprehension was nothing short of terrifying.
She began to suspect that he had possessed a deep understanding of Chaotic Power for a long time and simply lacked the knowledge of how to apply it.
They soon approached the nearby Chaos Pillar.
Since another cultivator was currently undergoing a trial, Li Hao waited quietly. He only moved once the trial concluded and the Chaos Pillar's light faded.
"Humph."
The previous challenger had only managed to trigger 114 Chaos Pillars. He had touched others, but they failed to light up, proving his understanding was shallow.
The youth let out a cold snort of self-dissatisfaction. Seeing Li Hao step up, he cast a sneering glance at the stranger—where had this unknown brat come from?
However, the sneer didn't last long as one Chaos Pillar after another began to glow in rapid succession.
Ten, twenty, fifty... in a mere heartbeat, all 138 Chaos Pillars were blazing with light!
A massive chaotic array formed, causing the subterranean cave to vibrate violently, as if the entire Chaotic Star was quaking in response.
The mocking expression on the youth's face froze instantly.
In the heart of the pillars, the Chaos Heavenly Dao ranking manifested. Li Hao watched as his image surged upward, reaching rank 1,169,287!
The entry now displayed: Chaos Two Stars.
Time on list: One day.
Even though he had only gained a single star, Li Hao saw that his rank had jumped by more than thirty thousand places!
"That was fast. It seems many people get stuck after mastering one star, either meeting their end or hitting a wall in their cultivation," Li Hao thought to himself.
