Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1691 Chapter 426: Rapid Advancement, Reputation Trembles (Double Chapter)

This display triggered a storm of shocked cries from the crowd watching outside.

Had one just finished, only for another to arrive?

Could two people actually master this Chaos Star within a single day?!

As the shouts from the spectators reached his ears, Lin Zhexuan felt his very blood begin to boil with excitement.

Even though his arrival at the Primordial True Realm was delayed and his start was late, he believed he could still hunt down and overtake those in front of him, radiating his own unique splendor.

He desired for his name to echo throughout the entirety of this immense Primordial True Realm!

And this moment was merely the beginning of his journey!

Buzz!

All 138 Chaos Pillars were triggered simultaneously, sending the fervor of the crowd outside to its absolute peak.

The entire grotto began to vibrate, and the Chaos Star itself seemed to let out a resonant, joyful hum.

Standing amidst the Chaos Pillars, Lin Zhexuan sensed the formation taking shape around him. Though his expression remained composed, his soul was a turbulent sea of emotion, and his eyes shone with a piercing light.

Looking upward, he watched the formation where the Chaos essence gathered. There, the long-awaited Chaos Heavenly Dao List began to slowly reveal itself above his head!

This legendary scroll, which recorded every genius of the current era, was finally a place where he had carved his own legacy!

As his image was projected onto the scroll, he discovered that his position was actually ranked beyond 1.2 million.

He had only just qualified for the list, landing at the very tail end. This was to be expected, and Lin Zhexuan was not discouraged. Instead, he was taken aback by the massive scale of the rankings.

During his earlier training, he had been told that this list represented the gathered prodigies of an entire generation, including many from the hidden Chaos Ancient Clan within the Primordial True Realm.

"Even if I am at the bottom... very soon, I will overtake them all, rising to the front lines and climbing to the very peak!"

Lin Zhexuan whispered to himself, his gaze burning with a level of confidence he had never felt before.

It had taken him a mere two years and three months to master the first Chaos Star. Even considering he focused on his specialty, the Spear Dao, such a feat was still regarded as exceptionally rapid!

Ignoring the frantic chatter surrounding him, he maintained his dignified air and did not linger. He turned and began to walk away from the Chaos Pillars.

"It is time to move on to the next Chaos Star."

As Lin Zhexuan descended, he felt the weight of countless gazes upon him, yet he remained indifferent.

He had been a True Dragon among men since his youth, a genius without equal whom the myriad talents of the Northern Domain looked up to. In this place, he would inevitably become the center of attention for thousands.

"Hmm."

The grim middle-aged man was filled with pride upon seeing that the youth had truly achieved comprehension. He was well aware of how terrifyingly fast that speed was. He was truly the True Dragon of the Lin Family!

He channeled Realm Power, wrapping it around Lin Zhexuan to protect him as they soared toward the grotto’s exit.

However, as they neared the way out, the grim middle-aged man recalled the young man and woman he had spotted earlier, and a flash of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Is something wrong, Uncle?"

Noticing the shift in the man's mood, Lin Zhexuan inquired with a hint of curiosity.

The grim man knit his brows, speaking with hesitation, "It might have been a trick of the light, but I believe I saw that youth named Haotian."

"Haotian?"

The mere mention of that name caused Lin Zhexuan’s heart to skip a beat.

He possessed a vivid memory of both that name and the boy it belonged to.

Back in the Northern Domain, using the Tao Origin Immortal Seal, that boy had suppressed numerous demonic geniuses while only at the second-level Immortal Monarch Realm, significantly lifting the spirits of those at the Northern Domain Border.

"Has he also arrived here?"

Lin Zhexuan’s eyes sharpened as he asked the question, the elation that had just filled his heart suddenly cooling down.

"Perhaps it was just an illusion, or perhaps someone who looked like him..."

The grim middle-aged man answered with a forced smile. Even with his cultivation at the Immortal King Realm, he found himself second-guessing his own vision. "He also participated in this trial, lit up every Chaos Pillar, and furthermore..."

"Furthermore what?"

Lin Zhexuan felt a violent tremor in his chest. Had the other boy also activated all the Chaos Pillars and secured a spot on the list?

"Furthermore, Miss Su was acting as his guardian, but Miss Su... she should not have been able to reach the Immortal King Realm so quickly."

The grim man explained.

Lin Zhexuan felt as if his blood had turned to ice, unable to tell if it was a cold dread or the white-hot fury of blood rushing to his head. Instantly, the image of Su Muqing being intimate with that boy flashed in his mind, and his expression became incredibly grim.

"You are claiming Muqing has reached the Immortal King Realm? That is impossible."

Lin Zhexuan shook his head firmly, yet after the words left his mouth, his certainty wavered.

He came to an abrupt halt, his face twitching for a moment as a thought occurred to him. He delved into his Sea of Consciousness and summoned the Chaos Heavenly Dao List.

He was able to scroll through the ten thousand names ahead of his own. His Divine Sense darted through the list at high speed, but he failed to find the name Li Hao.

He let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Even if the other boy had made the list, he couldn't be that far ahead. Their previous scouts had reported no one named Haotian in the Primordial True Realm unless the boy was staying hidden, cultivating in total isolation.

"I will ask Muqing myself."

Lin Zhexuan produced a Jade Pendant and immediately sent out a Divine Thought.

On a different Chaos Star, Su Muqing was seated in deep meditation when the message arrived. She frowned slightly, realizing it was Lin Zhexuan.

Though her brow furrowed, she still linked her Divine Sense to the Jade Pendant:

"Do you need something?"

"It is nothing, I simply wanted to ask what realm you have reached, and where you are currently located?"

Hearing the icy tone from the other side, Lin Zhexuan’s face darkened. Ever since that boy departed the Northern Domain, Su Muqing had treated him with cold indifference, leaving him feeling frustrated and uneasy. He could feel the bond they had shared since childhood slowly dissolving.

"Are you not already aware? I am at the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm. Do you truly believe I could ascend to the Immortal King Realm so rapidly?"

Su Muqing frowned. Was it really necessary to disturb her cultivation for such a pointless question?
