Chapter 355: The Supreme Name, All Heavens Tremble
"Resurrection?"
Li Hao was momentarily taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly, but he quickly relaxed.
If he can resurrect, then I can just kill him again another day.
After all, being a Sage Reincarnation, he must have some trump cards.
But his current opponent isn't just those Dao Law Realm cultivators; he also has to be wary of the Sage assassins. The Buddhist Venerable and the Virtual Sage from the Buddhist Sect have already learned of his whereabouts and won't let him grow stronger easily.
"By the time of the Supreme Young Hero Battle, he might come after you."
Lin Qingying said to Li Hao, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Hao reined in his thoughts and shook his head. "He's just a defeated foe, nothing to worry about."
Hearing Li Hao's simple response, Lin Qingying's eyes flickered, but she didn't think he was being arrogant. The battle against the Buddhist Sect had showcased Li Hao's brilliance, making him famous in Canglan. Unless a Sage intervened, few could match him.
"The Buddhist Sect won't let this go, be careful."
Lin Qingying whispered, then gave Li Hao a deep look.
Li Hao nodded. At that moment, he saw a handsome young man in black walking through the crowd.
"Hao Tian."
The young man in black smiled at Li Hao.
Recognizing the voice, Li Hao recalled, "Qingjiu?"
"I didn't expect to see you here. This is our first real meeting, isn't it? I watched that battle, impressive!"
Qingjiu smiled at Li Hao, though there was a hint of frustration in his eyes.
Previously, in the Flower Touring Society, he had been the youngest member and participated in the Supreme Young Hero Battle, drawing much attention. His heart had been somewhat inflated with pride, but encountering Hao Tian had shattered that arrogance.
However, he wasn't jealous. Instead, he was more alert, realizing that the potential of the Dao Law Realm was much higher, and he was far from reaching it.
By focusing his mind, his cultivation had made some progress, for which he was grateful to Hao Tian.
"Are you here to cultivate?"
Li Hao asked.
Qingjiu laughed. "With the battle approaching, I heard these guys would all gather here to measure themselves, so I came along for the fun. You should leave your name too. I bet it will be Golden Light, maybe even Triple Golden Light!"
Hearing his words, those who didn't know or care much about Li Hao were slightly surprised and cast curious glances his way.
They weren't aware of the events in Canglan World or the Twin-Born Buddha Prince, but Triple Golden Light was something everyone in All Heavens knew about. This young man who could leave Golden Light was saying that the young man before them could achieve Triple Golden Light?!
Lin Baiquan and Chu Hanwei, among others, looked at Li Hao with astonishment.
They knew Li Hao's background was mysterious, but they hadn't expected him to have so many friends. Qingjiu, who came from a Minor World Holy Land, was well-known and had been a rising star for over a decade. It turned out he was also acquainted with Li Hao and believed Li Hao could achieve Triple Golden Light, the highest honor!
On the other side, the people from the Heaven Lying Holy Land and others also scrutinized Li Hao, realizing he was no ordinary person. No wonder he had earned the Master's favor.
"Who is that? I haven't heard of him."
"I heard Canglan World produced a prodigy, and it seems to be him."
"Hmph, Triple Golden Light? He must be talking nonsense. This is the mark of supreme talent. Many Sages in their youth only managed a single or double Golden Light, not such exaggerations."
"Hao Tian, I think I've heard of him. There's an All Heavens bounty on his head. If you can kill him, you can exchange it for Supreme Treasures and Divine Powers at the Buddhist Sect, along with a generous amount of incense!"
Around the Heavenly Stele, many figures cast curious, disdainful, and even malicious glances at Li Hao.
Lin Shuhai smiled at Li Hao and nodded in greeting.
Li Hao nodded back. Lin Baiquan, who was beside him, said, "Brother Hao Tian, take your time catching up. I’ll go and leave my name first."
With that, he hurried over to the Heavenly Stele.
Li Hao didn’t have much to catch up on. Seeing this, he glanced at Qingjiu and asked, "What are the benefits of leaving a name on the Heavenly Stele?"
"Benefits?"
Qingjiu was taken aback and gave Li Hao a strange look. "Does being able to see your talent count as a benefit?"
Li Hao’s disappointment was evident. So, there was nothing else?
Qingjiu noticed Li Hao’s disappointment and was speechless. Being able to leave a name on the Heavenly Stele was an extremely glorious achievement, renowned throughout All Heavens. Yet, Li Hao was still thinking about benefits.
"It’s Purple Light!"
"It’s flashing, it’s flashing!"
At that moment, a series of exclamations arose.
At the Heavenly Stele, Lin Baiquan reached out to touch the towering ancient monument. As his hand made contact, electricity crackled in the air, and a brilliant Purple Light appeared on the stele, marking Lin Baiquan’s name.
The Purple Light flashed twice, then slowly subsided, turning into a purple name that took its place in the upper middle of the Heavenly Stele. Meanwhile, a Blue Light name at the bottom quietly disappeared.
"Two flashes of Purple Light, as expected from Senior Brother Lin."
A few of the Sage Sons and Daughters of the Heaven Stealing Holy Land smiled.
The prodigies from All Heavens surrounding the Heavenly Stele, though they were competitors within the Holy Land, felt a sense of shared honor at that moment. They all rejoiced for Lin Baiquan.
Chu Hanwei glanced at Li Hao, then at Qingjiu, her thoughts were refined, and she noticed that Qingjiu's name was already on the Heavenly Stele, with characters that glowed like gold, indicating a Golden Light inscription.
To have someone like Qingjiu be impressed, this Hao Tian must be extraordinary. She couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Two flashes..."
Lin Baiquan’s expression was somewhat complicated as he saw his own name. If it were before, he would have been satisfied with such a performance. However, the conversation between Li Hao and Qingjiu had left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He silently retreated to the side of the stele and glanced at Li Hao, wondering if Li Hao’s name would indeed flash with Triple Golden Light as Qingjiu had suggested.
After Lin Baiquan finished, the others eagerly stepped forward to leave their names.
The weakest among them flashed Blue Light three times, while the rest all had Purple Light, with one or two flashes each.
Chu Hanwei also went up to leave her name. Like Lin Baiquan, she had two Purple Light flashes, placing her name near the top of the Heavenly Stele, marking her as a peerless genius.
Li Hao examined the Heavenly Stele and saw a familiar name, Bian Ruxue.
She had a purple name, ranking above Lin Baiquan, indicating three flashes.
Lin Qingying also had a purple name, but her name was even higher, above Bian Ruxue’s.
"My Sword Techniques have already Entered the Dao, and I am following the path without a path."
Lin Qingying, noticing Li Hao looking at her name, whispered telepathically.
Li Hao was slightly stunned and looked at her with surprise. In the short time since he had given her guidance, she had already achieved Sword Technique Enlightenment?
To reach Sword Technique Enlightenment was to join the ranks of the elite.
"Then you should consolidate your foundation and strive for Sword Dao Perfection, and ultimately, the Ascension of the Sacrificial Dao!"
Li Hao replied telepathically.
Lin Qingying was taken aback. Seeing Li Hao’s earnest expression, she was speechless. The idea of Ascending through the Sacrificial Dao was something even Sages dared not speak of lightly, yet he said it with such seriousness.
Even with her current Sword Technique Enlightenment, she didn’t dare to aspire for Sacrificial Dao Ascension. But with Li Hao’s expectations... she suddenly felt a surge of motivation.
Li Hao turned his gaze to the Heavenly Stele. In front of Lin Qingying were Lin Shuhai and Chiguang, both with purple names.
On the contrary, Qingjiu’s name was golden, and among the seven golden names, she was ranked last.
Li Hao couldn’t help but look at Qingjiu. She was stronger than Chiguang and Lin Shuhai, indicating that she was also at the Technique Entering the Dao stage and had mastered the six Ultimate Realms.
“We have all been evaluated, Brother Hao Tian, it’s your turn.”
Lin Baiquan and the others returned, having anticipated their results. They were neither disappointed nor particularly surprised.
Li Hao nodded slightly. Since they were already here, there was no reason to miss out.
Seeing Li Hao step forward, many eyes fell on him.
"Hmph, Triple Golden Light. Qingjiu must be trying to set him up for failure."
"Not even Senior Brother Xiao managed to achieve three flashes. Does he think he’s worthy?"
In the crowd, a few figures gathered, all exuding an aura of confidence, with one person leading them.
At this moment, the central, regal young man had a serious expression and did not respond to the Holy Son’s flattering words.
He came from a Minor World in the middle layer, and his Master had shown him the Canglan World Projection. He naturally recognized the young man in front of him, who was terrifying. With his Dao Domain, he could Suppress many Semi-Saints. Saying he could achieve Triple Golden Light wasn’t an exaggeration!
"Born in the lower realms, yet he dares to aspire for Triple Golden Light. How laughable!"
Elsewhere, a woman draped in silk, with a graceful figure and cold, clear eyes, stood with three red heart marks between her eyebrows, resembling a Divine Maiden. She looked at Li Hao, who was approaching the Heavenly Stele, with a mix of disdain and arrogance.
"Such a lowly figure from the lower realms, how could they understand the significance of Triple Golden Light?"
The woman beside her whispered in agreement.
Hearing their words, the other Holy Sons glanced at them. Upon recognizing their identities, the annoyance in their eyes quickly turned to respect, and they averted their gazes.
At this moment, Li Hao had already flown to the Heavenly Stele and, without hesitation, reached out to touch it.
As his palm made contact with the ancient stele, which seemed to have stood through endless ages, Li Hao felt a surge of electric light in his palm, accompanied by the rumbling of Great Dao Thunder in his ears.
Something seemed to pass through his body. Li Hao’s perception was sharp, and he suddenly felt a sense of awe, as if a gaze was upon him!
It was a supreme and majestic presence, somewhat like the sixth Ultimate Limit, Celestial Sovereign! However, this presence was different from the Celestial Sovereign, yet equally indifferent and supreme.
Li Hao felt a deep reverence, the more he cultivated, the more he felt a sense of awe, as if there were unknown, terrifying existences in the Heavens and Earth.
It was like a scholar who, the more they read, the more humble they became, realizing their own insignificance, while those with half-knowledge often thought themselves to be erudite and highly talented, looking down on others.
As Li Hao’s thoughts raced, the electric light in his palm grew more intense, erupting into a dazzling electric glow.
This electric glow did no harm; it was a manifestation of Dao Resonance.
The dim, mist-covered light around them seemed to grow even darker.
Li Hao withdrew his palm and looked up. He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he felt the Heavenly Stele tremble slightly.
Suddenly, a brilliant Blood Light emerged from the top of the stele!
The Blood Light seemed to seep from the ancient stele, like blood flowing from its surface. It quickly grew stronger, like a blood-red moon descending upon the stele, emitting a hazy, blood-colored aura that illuminated the entire Heavenly Stele.
All the previous discussions fell silent, and everyone stared in shock at this scene.
The Blood Light floated above the golden names, ranking the highest and centrally positioned in the first column of the Heavenly Rankings.
If this were a list, this name would be the top name!
The brilliant Blood Light contracted, becoming more concentrated and deep, revealing two characters:
Hao Tian!
Seeing this, the scene fell silent for a moment before erupting into a frenzy of excitement.
"What is that?!"
"Blood Light, it's actually Blood Light?!"
"Am I seeing this right? It's not Golden Light, but crimson Blood Light!"
"Rumors say the Heavenly Stele has seven colors, corresponding to the Seven Luminaries. It's actually true!"
The crowd was stunned. Those who were meditating in cultivation were also jolted awake, and after understanding the situation, they were all speechless.
Lin Baiquan and Chu Hanwei, among others, were taken aback. Lin Baiquan's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he looked at the scene in disbelief.
The Heavenly Stele recorded names, and at the highest position, a crimson blood name, too brilliant to look at directly, as if it was surveying all beings, stood out in the stele. The font seemed larger and more prominent than the others.
"His name..."
Lin Qingying stared at the scene, her eyes gradually shining with a radiant light. Her gaze fell on the figure standing before the Heavenly Stele.
Chi Guang, Hao Yue Holy Son, Lin Shuhai, and others were all stunned. While they had expected Li Hao to achieve Triple Golden Light, which would have stunned the crowd, they never imagined it would be the unprecedented Blood Light!
This Heavenly Stele test, where the Great Dao directly examines one's body, can reveal the hidden potential within. Could it be that the person has made a breakthrough during this time?
"How is this possible?!"
A young man in luxurious attire among the crowd also showed shock. To be able to suppress many Semi-Saints, this level of power could directly trigger Blood Light?
In another place, a woman who seemed like a Divine Maiden descending to the mortal world, her cold and arrogant expression froze, and she looked somewhat dazed.
"How is this possible? Master only achieved Triple Golden Light in his youth, and he was a Supreme Sage..."
The woman murmured to herself.
Names on the Heavenly Stele only remain for a thousand years. The names left by many Sages in their youth have long since vanished.
"Blood Light, it's actually true."
Someone said in awe.
As the crowd was in a frenzy, Li Hao's expression was somewhat bewildered. A crimson light had just shot into his Sea of Consciousness, accompanied by a dense Dao Resonance. In his mind, Chi Guang transformed into a small bell.
He touched it with his will, and the bell's resonance shook, like a Great Dao chant, making him feel as if his entire body's blood was trembling. His Sea of Consciousness was filled with surging thoughts, as if countless ideas were flooding his mind.
Li Hao came back to his senses, his heart secretly alarmed. The small bell formed by the crimson light had just resonated once, giving him a feeling akin to a sudden enlightenment.
His Sea of Consciousness was filled with Dao Resonance. If he were to enter seclusion for cultivation or comprehend a cultivation technique at this moment, it would be much more effective!
This was equivalent to condensing the Great Dao Thunder into a bell, which resonated within his Sea of Consciousness.
But the Great Dao Thunder is nurtured by Heaven and Earth, born from the Dao. What kind of person could condense and refine it, and seal it in the Sea of Consciousness?
Li Hao couldn't afford to think too much. This was a good opportunity for cultivation, whether he was contemplating Chess Dao or Art Dao, he would gain significant insights.
He left the Heavenly Stele, went outside, and sat cross-legged, forming a barrier around his body.
Outside the Heavenly Stele, Lin Baiquan and Chu Hanwei, among others, regained their senses. They were about to go congratulate Li Hao but saw him sit down to cultivate after the test, seemingly having some profound realization. His body was filled with dense Dao Resonance, so they stopped in their tracks.
Others also noticed that Li Hao's Dao Resonance was fluctuating, indicating that he was in a state of comprehension.
"Leaving a name on the Heavenly Stele can also lead to enlightenment?"
Everyone was taken aback by this scene.
If enlightenment occurred during battle or after a great battle, they wouldn't find it strange. But to gain insight just from leaving a name seemed too exaggerated.
"This..."
Qingjiu wanted to go ask, but seeing Li Hao in cultivation, she could only stop.
