Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1843 Chapter 487: Preliminary Test Results (Part 3)
Previously on Follow the path of Dao from infancy...
With the echoing chime from the Heaven Tower overhead, Li Hao showed no delay and opted to push forward in the trial.
Meanwhile, atop the highest point of the Heaven Tower.
Shock gripped both the Star Empress and the Immortal Immortal Emperor.
They had witnessed various displays inside the Heaven Tower, among them standout beasts from prominent families that drew their focus.
But a subtle moment from the lowest level caught them off guard.
"Double Realm?"
"Yes, the Double Realm truly exist side by side!"
Astonishment filled them as they grasped the implications.
A nascent Emperor Road, and that youth at the First Level of Immortal King Realm had actually forged a different route. Should he master it, it would solidify as the Emperor Road!
Still, across all eras, none had triumphed on this route. Innumerable attempts ended in defeat, theirs included. Success would mirror the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor's secondary Emperor Road.
Surprisingly, this youth now pursued that very Emperor Dao.
Did his mentor steer him, or was it his solo discovery?
"Two realms, separate yet harmoniously coexisting."
The Star Empress gestured lightly, pulling back the footage of Li Hao's clashes in the Heaven Tower to replay before them at a measured pace. She scrutinized every detail, from his unleashing of immortal force to each facial shift during combat.
"Coexisting dual peak realms, what an exceptional prodigy. Rumors say this youth caused massive ripples in the Primordial True Realm, and clearly, he holds real promise."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor murmured softly.
After years in isolation, upon his return, he swiftly caught up on key happenings from the past near ten millennia, ensuring he stayed informed.
"Shame his cultivation level is still modest, but I wish for his swift rise—he shows the chops to vie for the True King's aide, rising as a vice leader!"
The Star Empress murmured, marking the youth as a strong contender in her True King selection initiative.
"Freshly ascended to king status, yet delving into the Emperor Road already. Regrettably, it's merely the initial phase; full realization demands juggling six or seven Realm Hearts at once, all coexisting."
The Immortal Immortal Emperor remarked.
Though the youth's grasp on the Emperor Road amazed, it marked only the start. Challenges intensified with progress. Elites from mighty lineages could surge to Quasi-Emperor Realm smoothly, yet stall for ages at the Emperor Road's end, even with counsel from numerous Immortal Emperors and lessons from family Emperors, yielding nothing.
Refining the Emperor Dao depended entirely on personal effort.
"Quick, see—the Emperor Clan just cleared the 100th level, a fitting feat for the True Realm's top lineage."
The Star Empress abruptly noted.
Before long, both Immortal Emperors turned their focus to the Heaven Tower's mid-to-lower sections.
At that moment, two silhouettes appeared nearly together from the Heaven Tower.
Luo Ningshuang glanced behind her, spotting her name and image streak by as she finished the 36th floor.
This stood as her achievement in the Heaven Tower.
In her debut attempt, sparing no effort by igniting True God Blood and draining Ancestor Emperor Power, her ceiling reached the 36th floor.
Luo Ningshuang mixed disappointment with a touch of contentment over this outcome. She reckoned that for First Level of Immortal King Realm, clearing the 30th floor marked exceptional skill.
Sensing the presence nearby, Luo Ningshuang looked over to find it was her sect sister, Su Wanyi.
Su Wanyi also averted her eyes from the Heaven Tower. Beyond her own score, she spotted her senior sister's image lingering at the 36th floor, showing they matched levels.
"Junior sister, that's impressive—the Su Family lives up to its status as a powerhouse in the Northern Domain."
Luo Ningshuang arched her brows faintly, her tone even.
Though Su Wanyi had half-expected it, her senior sister's equal performance stirred a quiet sigh within. She steadied herself promptly and replied evenly, "Senior sister did well too."
As she said this, her eyes drifted to spot other known figures nearby.
She had already noted plenty of Immortal Monarch Realm peers, excluding the youth, with disciples from the Chaos Clan under the Original Immortal Emperor present as well.
Quickly, she picked out some recognizable faces positioned outside the tower, checking the elevations where they floated, their images fixed on matching tiers of the Heaven Tower underneath.
Observing most clustered near the twentieth floor range, Su Wanyi eased up. As her master had explained, Ancestor Emperor Power's might created a clear divide in the Immortal King Realm—even elite geniuses with superb talent couldn't rival the Ancestor Emperor Power in her lineage.
This represented the timeless legacy.
"Hmm?"
She scanned about but failed to locate Li Hao, her brows furrowing a bit.
Was he locked in a fierce struggle with foes, advancing at a crawl, and thus still inside?
Having tackled the ascent herself, she knew each level's toughness, doubting Li Hao could hit over thirty floors, let alone outdo her.
Even wielding top realms, against Fourth Level of Immortal King Realm foes, his defenses would crumple like thin sheets, crumbling in moments.
"That fellow's still not out—maybe he's lingering around in there?"
Luo Ningshuang checked as well, realizing the Immortal Monarch Realm youth who once dominated countless personal disciples of Immortal Emperors in the Primordial True Realm remained unseen.
