Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1695 Chapter 427: Sixty-Nine Stars in One Day, An Unprecedented Arrival (Double-Length) (Part 2)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
To refine their bloodlines and obtain superior Cultivation, those demonic clans allied with the Primordial True Realm would send their peerless prodigies into the Chaos Ancient Clans.
Currently, the Chaos Ancient Clans residing within Chaos Immortal City were abuzz with fervor. News was spreading rapidly, reaching a point where even the clan Elders were visibly shaken.
Atop Extreme Dao Mountain.
"What? Someone actually overtook me...?"
"Is this possible? I've been pushed down the rankings as well. Who is this Haotian? This is..."
Across the various practice fields on the mountain, numerous disciples were stunned. Many had previously ascended the Chaotic Star to seek comprehension; however, unlike the Direct Disciples who enjoyed unlimited access, they could not linger due to strict quota restrictions.
Consequently, after spending their allotted time comprehending the Chaotic Star, they were forced to yield their positions and return to Extreme Dao Mountain.
Other powers and Chaos Ancient Clans operated under the same meritocratic system.
The most precious resources were always reserved for the most brilliant prodigies, leaving the rest to struggle over what remained.
"Wait, this is the Direct Disciple that Master just took in!"
"It really is him!"
The entirety of Extreme Dao Mountain was thrown into an uproar as countless disciples expressed their disbelief.
When Master first made the announcement, they had assumed this Direct Disciple would be exceptional, but they never imagined his talent would be so terrifyingly exaggerated!
"Hmm?"
The restless commotion on the mountain did not just reach the Yuanming Ancestor, who carried the mountain on his back, but also drifted into the ears of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, who was resting in the grand hall at the summit.
The Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered with a mystical light. His pupils suddenly glowed like the sun and moon suspended in the sky, appearing as if they could pierce through the veil of time itself.
Before long, even he was left in a state of shock.
Although he held Li Hao in high regard and maintained great expectations for his new disciple, the reality of the situation had far surpassed his wildest projections.
"Little brother Haotian..."
The mountain-bearing Yuanming Ancestor muttered in awe, his turtle-like eyes reflecting a look of simple yet profound amazement.
...
Elsewhere, deep within the Chaos Sea.
This was the Immortal Domain overseen by the Chaos Immortal Emperor. Within this vast, boundless sea, every single droplet of water was saturated with dense Chaos Immortal Power, radiating an eternal chaotic aura.
Legend says that among the Three Immortal Emperors, progress is swiftest under the Chaos Immortal Emperor. Surrounded by the Chaos Sea, Cultivation becomes as effortless as breathing; even a common beast tossed into these waters would quickly evolve into a terrifying chaotic creature!
At the heart of this region stood a magnificent and towering Immortal Island.
Chaos waves crashed violently against the island's shores, sending up infinite layers of spray. The chaotic mist rising from these waves enveloped the land, ensuring that those on the island were perpetually bathed in potent Chaos Immortal Power. This process refined their physical bodies and condensed their Qi into a pure, liquid immortal state.
At that moment, a figure darted through the air, bypassing the defensive barriers of the Chaos Immortal Island to reach the Dao Hall at its peak.
"Disciple Su Muqing requests an audience with Master!"
The young girl knelt outside the hall, lowering her head in a respectful salute.
"Enter."
A voice, both majestic and tranquil, resonated from within.
Su Muqing rose quickly and stepped into the hall, where she beheld the formidable figure seated upon a Chaos Ancient Lotus at the center of the Dao Hall.
That figure appeared to be the very axis of heaven and earth. Chaos Laws drifted around him like tangled vines, and he was surrounded by layers of solemn realms that stretched into an infinite void.
"Master, your disciple has a question to ask..."
Su Muqing hurriedly knelt back down to speak.
"There is no need for words."
The imposing figure remained composed, lifting a hand slightly. Within the Dao Hall, a majestic aura of chaos began to swirl, and a scroll-like ranking list slowly materialized.
It was none other than the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking!
The list displayed positions numbering over 400,000.
Currently, a shadow was displayed at the center of the ranking, with its duration of entry marked as: One day.
Upon seeing that shadow, Su Muqing was instantly paralyzed with shock.
She could never mistake him; the shadow belonged to the young prodigy who had left a permanent mark on her soul back in the Northern Domain.
He had truly arrived, and he had already climbed past the 400,000 mark?
Looking at the realm listed behind his name, she saw: Chaos 42 Stars!
Her pupils narrowed and her breath hitched in her throat, filled with a mixture of helplessness and wonder.
Master had previously told her that with her gifts, she could comprehend one Chaotic Star every three years. To master all 69 stars would take her slightly over two centuries!
In just two hundred years, she was expected to break into the top 300,000 ranks of the Immortal Monarch Realm for this era!
After another millennium of Cultivation, she would refine her own Chaos Law, and within three thousand years, she had a chance to master all 23 Chaos Laws!
Such a pace was considered lightning-fast, far surpassing many prodigies of the Chaos Ancient Clans who failed to master the laws even after tens of thousands of years.
But...
What she was witnessing felt like a dream.
While she stood there dazed, the shadow on the list moved again, surging upward and jumping another 10,000 ranks in an instant!
Behind the name, it now read: Chaos 43 Stars!
In a mere heartbeat, her opponent had comprehended yet another Chaotic Star!
"Master, this is impossible..."
Su Muqing could not help but cry out.
The Chaos Immortal Emperor remained unruffled, stating calmly: "To you, it seems inconceivable. However, the reason is that he has encountered Chaos Power before; his understanding and mastery over it are so profound that comprehending these Chaotic Stars is easy for him."
Su Muqing was stunned, her gaze lingering on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Ranking with a complex expression.
Even after reaching the Primordial True Realm, does he still intend to outshine everyone so brilliantly?
"Master, when exactly did he arrive?"
