Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1694 Chapter 427: Sixty-Nine Stars in One Day, A Stunning Debut (Double Chapter)

"Move on."

After triggering a Chaos Pillar, Li Hao departed and immediately headed toward his next destination.

Even as the outside world descended into a frenzy, he remained focused on his task. Shuttling between various Chaos Stars, he worked diligently with the goal of activating all 69 stars as quickly as possible.

When the situation demands effort, Li Hao’s work ethic is truly formidable. In truth, even during his leisure time spent painting or playing chess, he is constantly refining his path to power.

He had never allowed himself to become stagnant.

Now, faced with the looming shadow of the Southern Domain Venerable, he certainly had no intention of slowing down.

Shi Miao watched Li Hao’s nearly instantaneous comprehension speed with rising excitement. Judging by his current pace, it seemed entirely possible that he would master all 69 Chaos Stars before the day was over!

Should he succeed, the resulting shockwave would be monumental. It would be akin to hurling a massive boulder into the peaceful waters of the Chaos Heavenly Dao list!

"With the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor acting as his shield, there is no cause for alarm..."

Shi Miao pondered silently.

Had he lacked such backing, she would have urged Li Hao to restrain his brilliance and proceed with more caution.

To expedite his journey, Shi Miao pushed her own limits. Each time Li Hao finished activating a Chaos Star, she would race toward the next at maximum velocity, weaving through the Space-Time Array. Utilizing her Time Origin Path, she dispatched avatars to locate the subterranean palaces of the upcoming Chaos Stars, establishing landmarks for instant teleportation.

This strategy drastically reduced their travel time.

Consequently, Li Hao continued his cycle of activation and absorption without a single moment of rest.

"I suspect that once my Chaos Dao reaches the First Stage, I will be capable of comprehending all 69 Chaos Stars..."

"After all, the requirement is merely Tao Realm comprehension for the stars themselves, rather than full fusion..."

While he worked on the Chaos Pillar, Li Hao’s mind was occupied with other calculations. Although advancing the Chaos Dao required three points of Artistic Skill per stage, he considered the price well worth the reward!

"I can hardly imagine the power I would wield if the Chaos Dao reached the seventh or eighth stage..."

"Even with State of Mind prerequisites, my attainments in Musical Rhythm and Poetry and Books should suffice to bypass the six-stage threshold, unless the requirements for this path are fundamentally different."

These thoughts raced through Li Hao’s mind as his position on the Chaos Heavenly Dao list continued its meteoric rise!

Starting from a rank beyond 900,000, he surged forward, quickly breaking into the 700,000s, then the 600,000s, and soon the 500,000s!

Before long, Li Hao had mastered more than half of the Chaos Stars!

As his rank skyrocketed, the elite geniuses positioned above him began to receive faint vibrations of notification from the Chaos Heavenly Dao list.

Some were deep in secluded Cultivation and ignored the alerts.

Others were preoccupied with mastering different Chaos Immortal Skills and didn't bother to check.

However, many others glanced at the notifications, and the sight left them paralyzed with shock!

"He broke onto the list in a single day?"

"Is my vision failing me, or has the Chaos Heavenly Dao list encountered an error?"

"Could the Heavenly Dao be malfunctioning? How can this be happening? Who is this person?"

"Haotian? I’ve never heard of such a name!"

"Haotian? Wait, that sounds familiar. Wasn't that the name of the seventh direct disciple the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor introduced a year ago?!"

Throughout the various regions of the Primordial True Realm—including the ancient Chaos Ancient Clans—uproar and disbelief took hold.

In an instant, the name Haotian was on everyone's lips. People everywhere were desperate to identify this mysterious figure who had appeared with such overwhelming momentum!

Within the Primordial True Realm, the territories are not limited to the domains of the Original, Chaos, and Dao Origin Immortal Emperors. Much of the land consists of the Chaos Wilderness, home to numerous Chaos Ancient Clans. These tribes occupy territories rich in Chaos Spirit Veins or ancient Chaos Divine Trees, using these resources to thrive.

Scattered between these lands are massive Immortal Cities that serve as the primary hubs for inter-regional travel.

These Chaos Immortal Cities are also governed by their own resident Immortal Emperors!

The Primordial True Realm is home to more than just the three famous Immortal Emperors; several powerful lineages within the Chaos Ancient Clans possess Immortal Emperors who remain in deep slumber.

Furthermore, other Immortal Emperors reside here who, while not as renowned as the main three, have established Chaos Immortal Cities. These hubs are teeming with life and operate under more relaxed laws.

Members of the Chaos Ancient Clans who are unable to join the sects of the three Great Emperors often flock to these cities, seeking roles as disciples or guardians under the local Great Emperor.

"Who exactly is this Haotian?"

"I recall the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor using his Emperor Dao authority to broadcast a message across the entire Primordial True Realm, naming his seventh direct disciple as Haotian!"

"That’s right, it happened just a year ago. Given the timing, it must be the same person."

"It makes sense. Only a direct disciple of an Immortal Emperor could be such a monstrous talent, but even then, this is almost impossible to believe. There must be a secret behind this!"

In the various Chaos Immortal Cities, the ancient clans were abuzz with speculation.

These clans possess formidable bloodlines, born with innate power. Some are born already at the Tao Comprehension Realm, having absorbed Chaos Spiritual Power while still in the womb, surrounded by Innate Dao Patterns. With minimal Cultivation, they can reach the Saint Realm or even the True Immortal stage with ease.

While in the Chaos Immortal Cities, they usually maintain human forms while retaining certain racial traits. Some of their kin travel to the True Realm, where they are feared as either divine or demonic beasts.

These include the Chaos Red Phoenix Clan, the Eight-clawed Fire Flood Dragon Clan, the Golden Scale Roar Clan, the Biao Clan, and the Chaos Ink Qilin Clan.

Though their chaos bloodlines have thinned over generations in the True Realm, they remain terrifying forces within the demon races of that world.
