Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1693 Chapter 426: Rapid Star Ascension, Reputation Shakes the Realm (Double Chapter)

Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
Lin Zhexuan successfully activates all 138 Chaos Pillars within the Primordial True Realm, making his mark on the bottom of the Chaos Heavenly Dao List after two years of cultivation. Despite his personal triumph, his composure is shaken when his elder mentions a possible sighting of Li Hao and Su Muqing together. Suspecting that his childhood friend has grown distant and may even have reached the Immortal King Realm, Lin Zhexuan confronts Su Muqing via a communication jade. While she dismisses his inquiries as trivial, the tension between them deepens as Lin Zhexuan prepares to advance toward the next Chaos Star.

His progress had already outstripped the others by the magnitude of an entire Chaotic Star.

"The foundations of the Emperor Clan's talents are truly profound," Li Hao reflected silently.

Without wasting any time, he and Shi Miao proceeded toward the subsequent Chaotic Star.

Meanwhile, back at the Chaos Sword Star where Li Hao had just departed, the sisters from the Ghost Tribe were exchanging their personal insights. Suddenly, they felt a faint tremor from the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking within their consciousness.

They recognized this sensation immediately; it was a notification that someone had overtaken their rank.

A silhouette of the individual who had surpassed them manifested in their minds. Upon witnessing the figure and sensing its unique aura, both sisters were struck with disbelief.

"Could it be... him?"

The two girls looked at each other, their eyes wide with shock.

One of them quickly navigated through the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, only to find that the silhouette had already climbed far above them, nearly vanishing into the higher tiers of the vast list!

"It is him! It really is him!"

"Chaos Four Stars?"

Observing Li Hao’s feat, they stood frozen, their expressions masked in total bewilderment.

When they noticed that the time recorded for his ranking entry was merely a single day, their minds reeled. This was no hallucination; the figure was undeniably Li Hao.

He had only just left their location, yet in a mere heartbeat, he had achieved the Chaos Four Stars rank?

Had he truly comprehended four Stars in such rapid succession?!

Other cultivators nearby, including Sword Heart and Ming Yue who were also deep in their own comprehension, received the same notification.

Normally, such alerts were ignored. Knowing someone had surpassed them meant little if the person was a stranger.

It was a common occurrence for people to remain on the rankings for centuries, occasionally making a breakthrough to leapfrog others.

This time, they glanced at the update out of habit, intending to dismiss it, but the sight left them stunned.

They immediately halted their Cultivation and frantically checked the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, discovering the figure standing firmly over six thousand ranks above them.

"Cha... Chaos Four Stars?"

Ming Yue was speechless, her eyes fixed on the ranking. She checked the silhouette repeatedly, confirming that the appearance, the aura, and the glaring "one day" timestamp all pointed directly to that young man!

"Four Stars... mastering four Chaotic Stars in a single day? How can this be possible?!"

Ming Yue was lost in a daze, unable to process the reality of the situation, feeling as though she were witnessing a ghost.

Sword Heart was equally shaken, his spirit trembling with confusion.

Was it possible for the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking to malfunction? It seemed improbable... yet comprehending four Chaotic Stars in one day defied all logic.

"Something is not right here," Sword Heart muttered, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

Ming Yue nodded in agreement.

Before they could speculate further, the silhouette on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking abruptly vanished from their sight.

"He's gone. I can't see him anymore."

Ming Yue gasped, a wave of relief mixed with a strange sense of happiness washing over her.

Sword Heart noticed this as well, wondering if it truly had been a glitch in the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking system.

However, he quickly realized that his and Ming Yue's rankings had not reverted to their original spots; they remained one position lower than before.

This meant that someone had indeed overtaken them and was still ahead.

The reason they could no longer see him was likely because he had climbed to an even higher tier!

A flash of dread appeared in his eyes. Even the usually composed Sword Heart felt his heart racing. He stood up, his expression grim. "This is too bizarre. I must consult my mentor."

"I'm coming with you." Ming Yue stood up quickly, no longer having the peace of mind to continue her own comprehension.

Elsewhere, the Ghost Tribe sisters also stood up at the same time. They felt the need to return and inquire about Li Hao’s sudden rise and his impossible ranking speed; their hearts would not find rest otherwise.

At that same moment, Li Hao’s figure was once again moving toward another Chaotic Star.

It didn't take long before this new Chaotic Star was fully activated by him, transforming into Chaos Pillars.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Their forms flickered repeatedly as they traversed the void between the Chaotic Stars.

Each time Li Hao entered a Chaotic Star, it would hum and tremble slightly. Then, their figures would depart, moving like bees through a vast forest gathering nectar.

Meanwhile, Li Hao’s status on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking continued its vertical ascent. By the time he successfully activated the ninth Chaotic Star, he had broken into the ninety thousand range.

"Next one, keep going."

Li Hao intended to finish comprehending all these Chaotic Stars first. Only after that would he attempt to arrange them and see how to assemble the Chaos Law.

He was actually spending more time traveling than he was on the actual comprehension.

As he moved with incredible speed, the count of mastered Chaotic Stars rose: twelve, fifteen... his rank soared higher and higher!

As Li Hao’s position climbed, many others engaged in comprehension and Cultivation felt the subtle ripples of the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking, signaling that they had been surpassed.

Numerous cultivators noticed an unknown silhouette passing them by.

This was especially notable after entering the top million, which brought a degree of fame within the Primordial True Realm. Mastering four or five Chaotic Stars significantly increased one's chances of condensing the Chaos Law, a feat that would lead to a meteoric rise!

Yet, none of them recognized this mysterious figure.

When some of them noticed the impossibly short time it took for this individual to climb the ranks, the atmosphere across many Chaotic Stars suddenly erupted with excitement and shock!
