Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1689 Chapter 426: Rapid Star Ascension, Reputation Shaken (Double Length)

The rankings vanished, receding back into Li Hao's Sea of Consciousness.

Li Hao glided toward a nearby clearing, mentally scrolling through the Chaos Celestial rankings stored within his mind. He searched for the names of the Ghost Tribe sisters and the other geniuses from the Southern Domain, but they remained absent, evidently situated even higher up the list.

"Time to move," Li Hao said, pulling himself from his thoughts. He turned to Shi Miao and suggested, "Let’s investigate another location."

"Understood," Shi Miao replied with a nod.

She hadn't truly anticipated Li Hao's success, given that he had barely spared the wall a glance. Her expression beamed with pride; witnessing Li Hao’s terrifying speed of advancement made her realize that a bright future was no longer a distant fantasy.

Yet, this progress also signaled that the grim visions she had once seen might truly come to pass. Fortunately, she now possessed the knowledge to shatter the time paradox. She could interfere with the fixed flow of destiny in this lifetime, introducing a deviation that would reshape the future!

Whoosh!

Wrapped in Realm Power, the pair ignored the stunned expressions of the bystanders and shot out of the subterranean cavern, returning to the star's surface.

Shi Miao gestured with her hand, weaving a Space-Time Array out of thin air. She selected a neighboring Chaotic Star and immediately initiated a transit to carry Li Hao across the void.

This particular world was a Spear Dao Chaotic Star, centered around the 'king of weapons.' The entire planet radiated the Conception of Spear Dao Origin, with phantom spear beams and sharp shadows flickering across the landscape like a perpetual array.

Consulting her memories, Shi Miao quickly pinpointed the location of the star's underground cave and guided Li Hao toward it at high speed.

Inside the cavern, the Chaos Stone Wall stood out prominently. More than two hundred figures were gathered before it, sitting in deep meditation as they attempted to grasp its secrets.

Just as Li Hao prepared to land, his eyes caught a familiar profile among the crowd.

Lin Zhexuan?

Li Hao’s gaze sharpened. This was the True Dragon genius from the Northern Domain’s Lin Family, whom he had briefly met during a demon sparring match. Though their interaction had been short, the face remained etched in his memory.

Currently, Lin Zhexuan was seated cross-legged among the cultivators. Hovering above him was a stern-looking middle-aged man in the Immortal King Realm, serving as his Guardian.

Li Hao scanned the rest of the group but found no other recognizable faces. Since he and Lin Zhexuan were merely acquaintances by chance, he saw no reason to offer a greeting.

Slightly shaking his head, he walked directly to the front of the Chaos Stone Wall and began his observation.

This specific wall contained 138 law fissures, a number that caught Li Hao off guard. He wondered if the original shattering of chaos had been so precise by accident, or if the destruction itself had followed a hidden order and logic.

Pushing those thoughts aside, he settled into a state of calm comprehension.

In truth, 'comprehending' was a generous term. To Li Hao’s eyes, these 138 fissures appeared elementary and transparent, much like a Sword Dao sovereign watching a toddler swing a wooden stick. With a single look, he committed them to memory, as various patterns and combination sequences instantly materialized in his mind.

"I'll give it a try," Li Hao remarked.

He had only been there for a few minutes. Having already witnessed his efficiency, Shi Miao felt only a lingering sense of awe. She immediately moved to protect him, escorting him toward a Chaos Pillar.

Since no one was currently occupying the space, Li Hao flew inside and let his palm brush against the pillars one after another.

The obsidian Chaos Pillars erupted with light. Moving with fluid technique, Li Hao activated all 138 pillars in a heartbeat.

As the cavern began to tremble, the Chaos Heavenly Dao Rankings manifested once more. Li Hao looked up, watching his name climb over thirty thousand ranks in an instant.

"Wait, they're here too?"

As the list shifted, Li Hao spotted two familiar names: Yue Xi and Gu Yan! Both were listed on the Chaos Star Rankings and had been present for twenty-one years.

They were currently ranked about four thousand places above his new position.

"So they made it to the Chaotic Star as well? Excellent... I wonder which star they're currently on."

Li Hao's eyes sparkled with a hint of warmth. Finding people he knew filled him with a quiet joy, much like encountering an old friend in a strange, distant land—a feeling even more rewarding than his ascent on the Gold Rankings.

Scanning further down, he noticed other names he recognized: Yinjing City and Meng Huaiyue. The latter was the Direct Disciple of the Great Dream Master, Meng Wan Ning. Had she come here as well?

Li Hao was slightly surprised by their presence. Did they truly possess the qualifications to reach the Immortal Monarch Realm, or was there another factor at play?

He didn't dwell on it for long, as his connection to those two was minimal.

"Still no sign of the Ghost Tribe sisters, Boya Xuejian, or Chu Tianhuang. If Yinjing City could make it, they certainly should be here, likely much higher up... It's a shame I can only see ten thousand places ahead, even if the bottom of the list is fully visible."

Li Hao mused silently.

He looked away, not intending to linger. "Let's head to the next one."

"As you wish," Shi Miao replied.

The duo departed as quickly as they had arrived. However, the violent shaking of the cave caused by the pillar activation had drawn the attention of the meditating geniuses. Many looked up, noting Li Hao’s unfamiliar face.

However, most were too consumed by their own Cultivation and comprehension to care about a stranger. They simply felt a surge of competitive pressure, redoubling their focus on the stone wall.

Yet, the stern Immortal King guarding Lin Zhexuan had looked over during the commotion. When his eyes landed on Li Hao, he froze in a state of total bewilderment.

That boy?

He’s here too?

His face was a mask of disbelief and confusion as he realized Li Hao had just successfully navigated the laws of this Chaotic Star. How was such a feat possible?

His shock only intensified when his gaze shifted to Shi Miao. He nearly lost his balance, his heart racing with terror.

Miss Su? Su Muqing?!

The Immortal King Realm? How... how can this be?!
