Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
"It's freezing!"
Di Lingshu shivered as an intense chill seeped through her entire being. Even with Li Hao’s protective power surrounding her, a bone-deep cold remained, making her heart tremble instinctively.
At this moment, the Chaos River felt like a lethal threat, even to a cultivator like her who had refined ten Chaos Laws.
However, in the following instant, a sudden force stirred the waters of the Chaos River before them.
She watched as Li Hao grabbed her hand, swiftly riding the crests of the waves. While others struggled to dash through the heavy currents of the Chaos River, Li Hao moved with incredible speed, treading upon the waves as if walking on solid ground.
This display caught the attention of many onlookers on the shore platform, drawing cries of pure shock.
"That man is incredibly fast!"
"Isn't that Haotian of the Human Race? The one who rose to prominence three hundred years ago?"
"It is definitely him. I witnessed his battle at the Chaos Dojo."
"To tread the waves while carrying another person... that is simply absurd!"
"It appears the rumors are true; he really has refined 23 Chaos Laws."
Many observers were stunned and filled with envy. However, their jealousy was tempered by a sense of helplessness, as the gap between them was simply too vast.
"Hmph!"
Within the Chaos River, several figures suddenly surged upward, also beginning to tread the waves.
Members of the Chaos Red Demon Clan watched Li Hao’s retreating figure with cold eyes, realizing the rumors had not been exaggerated. Without a word, they plunged into the Chaos River, chasing after Li Hao by treading the waves with equal haste.
"Hmm?"
On the opposite side, Luo Ningshuang overheard the commotion from the platform. Her Divine Sense detected Li Hao approaching rapidly across the water, causing her expression to shift slightly. She had originally planned to remain low-key while helping Lin Zhexuan swim upstream, but that plan now seemed unnecessary.
She suddenly hoisted Lin Zhexuan up and began treading the waves herself, sprinting forward at high speed.
"Let us go."
Back on the platform, a woman clad in pure snow-white watched the scene with an indifferent expression. She took a young girl from her clan and leaped into the Chaos River.
Her movements were exquisite; every step landed perfectly on the peak of a wave. She crossed the water like a fairy, moving with supreme elegance.
"Brother Haotian is truly far beyond us now."
Many on the shore who knew Li Hao watched with eyes full of longing. Some felt genuine joy for his success, while others harbored secret resentment.
Simultaneously, at the heart of the chaos sea.
Inside the magnificent Imperial Palace on a towering island.
A massive figure sitting silently in the hall suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils seemed to contain the sun and moon, piercing through the fabric of space-time with a majesty that forbade any direct gaze.
But in this moment, the eyes of the Chaos Immortal Emperor were wide with shock.
The Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart had just undergone a massive transformation.
A certain rank had skyrocketed, unexpectedly seizing the number one position on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart!
Furthermore, the final data displayed showed that this individual had actually refined 24 Chaos Laws!
With destiny hidden and the Heavenly Dao incomplete, someone in this era had actually grasped 24 Chaos Laws!
"Haotian? A disciple of Dao Origin? How can this be?!"
"Did Dao Origin hide a secret inheritance of destiny practice? No, that is impossible. Even if Dao Origin practiced destiny, he could not manifest it into reality or comprehend it to such a depth."
Surprise flickered in the Chaos Immortal Emperor’s eyes. He had been impressed by the young man before, but the youth had still managed to exceed his highest expectations.
"It seems Dao Origin has been hiding quite a few secrets."
With a silent thought, he manifested a clone and departed for Extreme Dao Mountain to pay a visit.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of Extreme Dao Mountain, the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor appeared momentarily dazed, forgetting to place the chess piece he held.
When the piece finally fell, he snapped back to reality, froze for a second, and then broke into a smile.
That boy was hiding things deeper than anyone imagined!
After two hundred years of no movement, he suddenly claimed the top spot. Was he trying to guard against the other Immortal Emperors?
He chuckled, feeling no anger, but rather a growing fondness for his disciple.
"Heavenly Calamity, you truly possess great destiny to have taken such a fine disciple!"
Dao Origin Immortal Emperor whispered to himself.
If these words were heard by others, their jaws would surely drop. Throughout history, disciples who studied under an Immortal Emperor were said to have found world-class fortune. Never had an Immortal Emperor claimed that receiving a disciple was his own good fortune—it was a complete reversal of the natural order.
"He actually comprehended the hidden destiny... this youth clearly holds a world-class secret. Fortunately, he is of upright character and good nature. His future will be a blessing for the Human Race..."
A smile graced the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor’s face. Suddenly, he felt two powerful auras approaching Extreme Dao Mountain, accompanied by the trails of destiny power.
He knew immediately that his two old friends had been alerted.
One was Chaos, and the other was Original.
"They are coming to 'interrogate the teacher,' I see. This kid has brought me some trouble; I must take this burden upon myself, otherwise..."
Dao Origin Immortal Emperor mused.
If they discovered the youth had comprehended the fate Chaos Laws through some other fortune, it would bring him immense trouble, perhaps even catastrophe.
Therefore, he had to pretend that he was aware of it and that he was the one who had imparted the knowledge.
As for the method of teaching, he simply wouldn't allow them to ask.
...
In the Chaos River, figures were locked in a fierce race, all treading waves at the front of the pack.
Galloping across the surface was significantly faster than swimming against the current.
"Chi Pong, that Human Race brat seems far too arrogant. Are you interested in crushing him to death here?"
A youth from the Chaos Red Demon Clan was chasing Li Hao when a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
A handsome middle-aged man in golden immortal robes, standing two zhang tall with golden scales and a single horn on his head, approached quickly.
He was a fellow disciple from the Original Land, a senior brother.
"He is indeed," the Chaos Red Demon youth replied.
His eyes grew more serious as he watched the figure ahead, who was carrying someone yet still moving with such incredible speed.
"Let's test him first and see if the others have similar intentions," the middle-aged man suggested.
He didn't want to rely solely on the two of them, knowing many Chaos Ancient Clans harbored resentment toward the Human Race. He immediately sent transmissions to several other Chaos Ancient Clan members from Chaos Immortal City.
Soon, two responded, expressing their willingness to attempt it.
"Join forces?"
The snow-white woman received the transmission from the golden-scaled man, but she gave it only a glance and didn't bother to reply.
She was interested in testing the Human youth's abilities, but she looked down on the idea of teaming up. Just as other Chaos Ancient Clans looked down on humans, she looked down on all races, including her own peers.
"Hmm?"
Li Hao, galloping at the front, suddenly heard the roar of waves behind him. His Divine Sense swept out, revealing several Chaos Ancient Clan figures closing in.
Di Lingshu noticed them as well, her expression turning pale. "Are they targeting us?" she asked.
"It is possible," Li Hao replied.
He hadn't sensed any killing intent yet, but the Chaos Red Demon youth made him wary. He immediately increased his speed; he had no desire to socialize and wanted to move forward quickly.
"What?"
The Chaos Red Demon youth and the others chasing at full speed were stunned when Li Hao suddenly accelerated. They exchanged bewildered looks.
They were pushing themselves to the limit, hiding their killing intent until they could get closer, yet the youth was still able to speed up?
To ditch them while carrying another person in the Chaos River was simply beyond belief.
"What is wrong with that human? He is truly monstrous!" a woman in a purple dress exclaimed, her eyes wide with shock.
She was one of the top twenty geniuses on the Chaos Heavenly Dao Chart, having refined 23 Chaos Laws, yet she was unable to catch him.
"Keep chasing!" Chi Pong commanded through a dark expression.
The four of them pushed their speed to the maximum, trying desperately to reach Li Hao.
"They are gaining on us again," Di Lingshu warned.
Li Hao glanced back, finished with lingering in this spot. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes, and the Chaos River seemed to transform into a path of Chaos Power paved by the Heavenly Dao before him. His form flickered, and pulling Di Lingshu with him, he vanished like a teleporting shadow, disappearing in an instant.
Seeing this, the four pursuers who had just caught up felt their pupils shrink, their minds completely overwhelmed by shock.
