Chapter 542: Please, Heavens, teach me

Li Hao's expression was calm. He noticed that the aura of the Twin Buddha Sons had indeed changed. Previously, they were both righteous and evil, with Buddha and Demon fused, but now the Buddha light was restrained, the demonic nature was heavier, and there was a faint trace of madness.

It seemed they had taken a certain path to the extreme, breaking the previous balance.

Regarding this, Li Hao paid a little attention, but didn't care too much.

Even if the other party inherited the Sage Dao power of their previous life, what they carried was ultimately the cultivation base and physical body of the Dao Law Realm, and the amount they could exert was extremely limited.

In the thirty-three realms of the Heavens, each realm had ten spots. Including Li Hao, a total of 330 people came to participate in the competition, all top prodigies selected from billions upon billions in each realm.

At this moment, the seats in the waiting area were nearly full. They were floating stone platform seats, extremely eye-catching.

Along the way, besides the Twin Buddha Sons, many gazes fell on Li Hao, all secretly probing, and some were relatively blatant, even carrying a bit of provocation.

Li Hao swept his gaze indifferently, seeing some cold gazes. Although they were unfamiliar faces, they seemed to already harbor some hostility toward him.

He didn't pay attention to it; under such fame, it was inevitable to attract trouble.

Leaping to a stone platform position, he sat down peacefully, greeted acquaintances like Lin Qingying and Ji Xuanshen with his eyes, and then began to size up the place of this exchange.

He saw that the peak of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Mountain was extremely vast. Although it was a peak, it was boundless. The sky was filled with colorful brilliance, and the energy of heaven and earth was so thick it seemed like viscous seawater. Now, many Sages of the Heavens had descended here with restrained auras, and they were their true bodies. Their Sage Daos intersected secretly, faintly creating a fantastical sky scene.

Auspicious shadows like dragons and phoenixes evolved, drifting in the void, and the Great Dao was like drifting clouds and catkins, emitting different colors, floating in the sky.

Among them, some Sages who were invited and frankly revealed their auras had Dao rhymes condensing around them. Some were like golden spears and iron horses, surrounded by countless shadows, and some had a divine ruler condensing above their heads, seeming to be able to measure heaven and earth.

Many magnificent scenes made people feel relaxed and happy, with a feeling of boiling blood.

Li Hao's gaze turned, noticing that the Buddha Venerable had also come here, and he did not restrain his aura, as if he had been invited.

In the direction he was in, the golden light outside the lotus platform was dazzling, and he also occupied a seat in this heaven and earth phenomenon.

The heaven and earth treasures rewarded to the winner of the Prodigy Battle were provided by the Buddhist Sect, so he also received an invitation from the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land.

Besides that, the Void Sage also did not restrain his aura. The position where he stood had phenomena that seemed to be virtualized, becoming blurred. Standing between heaven and earth, it was like he was in a void, incompatible with the world.

When Li Hao looked at them, the Buddha Venerable and the Void Sage also looked at Li Hao, but their gazes didn't seem to be focused on Li Hao, but rather looked at the direction of the waiting area, not focusing, but Li Hao could feel the undisguised killing intent contained in the bottom of their eyes. This killing intent could only be seen and felt by him.

Seeing the Void Sage, killing intent rose in the bottom of Li Hao's eyes. He knew that if it weren't for the fact that this was within the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land, the other party would have attacked him without hesitation.

Having become enemies, there was no room for maneuver.

Li Hao withdrew his gaze with a cold face and turned to look at the other Sages.

The most eye-catching one here was the white-robed old man sitting in the center. His body was towering, like a Dharma image reaching the sky. Although his Dharma robe was white, it was as fine as silkworm silk, billowing in the wind, giving a feeling of a crane-haired immortal appearance.

Li Hao knew that this was the Seeing Yuanzu, the most ancient Sage in the Sacred Land of All Sages.

Among the Supreme Sages, he had an extremely high status.

Not far from him, there were five or six other Sages, whose momentum was far more magnificent than other Sages. Li Hao knew these were the Supreme Sages of the Upper Three Realms Sacred Land.

Besides them, Li Hao also saw an acquaintance, the Sword Master.

His aura was also not concealed, sitting in a void, but there seemed to be endless sword shadows shaking around him, flickering in the void. His expression was indifferent, but it gave people a feeling of being hard to approach.

When Li Hao looked at him, the Sword Master also seemed to be looking at Li Hao, revealing a faint smile at him.

Li Hao couldn't help but smile and nodded at him.

Besides these Sages, there were many Half-Sages around. Li Hao swept a circle and saw that on the inner side closest to the battlefield, there was actually a full circle of them! It was truly... Half-Sages were as common as dogs.

But Li Hao knew this was the gathering of the Heavens, and he feared there were still quite a few who hadn't come to join in the fun.

Among these Half-Sages, Li Hao also saw some old acquaintances, the Yao Ancestor, Zhan Tan, and others.

When their gazes touched, they all revealed smiles.

And surrounded by Sages, and also the center where everyone gathered, was a huge battlefield, but there were climates like storms and ice and snow condensing in the battlefield, with electric light flashing from time to time, seeming to be a dangerous forbidden area.

Not long after, the remaining participating Holy Sons and Saintesses also arrived one after another.

There were 330 seats, but seven positions were empty.

For those who didn't come, the Half-Sages of their Master's sect went before the Seeing Yuanzu, trembling and stating the reason.

Some happened to be in seclusion at a critical moment and were not disturbed. Although the Prodigy Battle was of vital importance, it was feared they would be hard-pressed to compete for the top ten, so the Master's sect chose to let them continue seclusion, so as not to gain nothing on both ends.

Others were because of some kind of "accident," leading to no chance to come here.

Li Hao's eyes flickered. It seemed that besides him, there were quite a few struggles between other Sacred Lands.

Where there is fame and profit, there is right and wrong.

Li Hao sighed in his heart. Even Sages could hardly be spared from this.

People compete to chase after it, and what they seek is nothing but fame.

Grandmasters open sects and establish factions, receiving incense for a hundred years.

Sages preach and establish teachings, leaving their names for a thousand generations, rotating endlessly.

However, he seemed to be no exception. Coming here was also for fame, and behind fame was profit.

As the Divine Sun shone on the corona, when the time came, the Seeing Yuanzu spoke and announced the official start of the Supreme Prodigy Battle.

At this point, the entire Sacred Mountain shook, and the previous discussion and cheers briefly quieted down.

Subsequently, the Seeing Yuanzu softly explained the rules.

First was the top 100 seats. Advance to the top 100, then fight layer by layer!

And the rules for selecting the top 100 seats were extremely simple and crude. Those who were confident could go on stage, accept challenges, and if they could defeat three people, or if no one challenged them, they could advance to the top 100! Each person only had one challenge opportunity, and if the challenger won, they would replace them, and after winning against two more, they could advance! Such screening would undoubtedly be extremely rapid, which made many prodigies who came here stunned, and many felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

They had defeated strong enemies all the way from small worlds and became the top prodigies of their respective small worlds, but coming here, they were treated as sand in the great waves, a rough and brutal screening.

If they were defeated in the top 100, it was feared no one would remember them.

Having traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers and crossed the void to come here, they were just an inconspicuous member among many prodigies.

Compared to some who had complex expressions, more people had bright light flickering in their eyes, revealing intense confidence, feeling that this method was very good and very much in line with the wishes of these prodigies.

There should be no more nonsense; just go directly and do it, and one would know who was strong and who was weak after a comparison.

And it was only the top 100. If one didn't have the ambition to sprint for the top ten, coming here was also in vain.

After the Seeing Yuanzu finished speaking, he announced the start, hosted by another Sage within the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land.

Outside the battle platform, a huge Reflection Bone Mirror was suspended. Those who went on stage all needed to shine in front of the Reflection Bone Mirror to avoid mixing fish eyes with pearls.

"Who is willing to come first?"

This Sage within the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land asked with a smile.

The crowd under the stage loosened, and many couldn't hold back, but a figure suddenly flashed, and with the power of the Return to Ruins teleportation, went directly to the front of the Reflection Bone Mirror.

Subsequently, his age and lifespan appeared on the Reflection Bone Mirror.

68 years old! At such an age, he was considered young among the many prodigies.

After the Reflection Bone Mirror verified he was qualified, he stepped directly onto the stage, his posture tall and straight, his face like a crown of jade, looking handsome and peerless.

"Name Family Sacred Land, Bai Yuan, please, Heavens, teach me!"

As the clear and confident, domineering words were spoken, bursts of discussion and exclamations suddenly came from the crowd outside the field.

Name Family Sacred Land, this was the Sacred Land of the Upper Three Realms 'Ziyang Realm', with a Supreme Sage sitting in town. This Bai Yuan was mostly a disciple under the Supreme Sage! His fame was not great in the Heavens, but in the Upper Three Realms, he had long since revealed his edge, so those from the Upper Three Realms who came here to watch the battle became excited and issued bursts of cheering.

Many figures who had wanted to be the first to go on stage paused slightly, and their expressions turned solemn.

Even if some didn't know Bai Yuan, they knew the weight of the Name Family Sacred Land.

Under the Supreme Sage!

Just these four words were enough to cause a sensation like thunder. In an instant, the area outside the field became quiet, and everyone looked at each other, some with thoughtful eyes, but none made a move.

And others from the Upper Three Realms, although they wanted to spar with the other party, also knew that this was just a competition for the top 100, and it wasn't time to cross swords with the other party yet.

Otherwise, they would inevitably expose their trump cards in advance, which was somewhat not worth the loss, and fighting fiercely when competing for the top 100 was also somewhat ugly.

Under the brief silence, no one challenged for a while outside the field.

Following that domineering sentence "Please, Heavens, teach me," it seemed to have suppressed the entire field for a while!

Such a performance made many Name Family disciples under the stage pleasantly surprised and cheering, emitting excited howls.

"Holy Son Bai Yuan is mighty!!"

"Domineering, this is our Name Family's Holy Son, no one in the Heavens dares to go on stage!"

Many Name Family disciples were extremely excited.

But this was said too late. If it had been said earlier, it would have been inevitable that someone would be displeased and want to go on stage to dampen his prestige.

Bai Yuan heard the Sage of the Seeing Yuanzu Sacred Land announce his advancement, and a smile hooked at the corner of his mouth. He swept across several figures in the crowd, as if saying, I am waiting for you!

Subsequently, his gaze fell on Li Hao, with a trace of frivolity in his eyes. Toward this youth who left a red character on the Heavenly Stele, he also had the idea of suppressing him. It was a pity that the other party didn't go on stage.

With a whoosh, Bai Yuan turned and went off the stage, returning to the waiting area.

But such a domineering opening made the dignitaries of the Heavens who came to watch from the Heavenly Origin Realm remember this top prodigy.

Li Hao saw the other party's frivolous gaze and didn't care. He had no intention of going on stage to challenge.

At this moment, following Bai Yuan going off the stage, a second figure suddenly teleported to the front of the Reflection Bone Mirror with Return to Ruins, competing for the second appearance.

On the Reflection Bone Mirror, the age appeared, 78 years old.

But the appearance was that of a youth, high-spirited and vigorous. After going on stage, he said indifferently: "Yin Yang Sacred Land, Lin Zhuo, please, everyone, teach me. My cultivation is not strong, don't waste this opportunity."

Although the tone was humble, the words were even more arrogant, and the provocation was obvious.

Hearing him say this, someone in the waiting area couldn't sit still. A figure teleported out, came to the front of the Reflection Bone Mirror to test, was within a hundred years old, and then stepped onto the stage.

"My cultivation is still short, and I just want to mix into the top 100 to see, so I'll pick a soft persimmon."

This person said indifferently, but anyone could see that these words were aimed at Lin Zhuo's words.

However, saying this also had risks.

Lin Zhuo heard the other party's words, the corners of his mouth raised, and he said: "Then come and try."

Soon, as the formation condensed, the phenomena like storms and ice and snow on the battlefield gradually emerged, with electric light surging. Besides fighting, they also had to avoid these law attacks.

Boom! As the battle broke out, Lin Zhuo suddenly sacrificed a Sun and Moon Divine Wheel, containing the extreme meaning of Yin and Yang.

That challenger exploded with extreme realms, revealing extreme realms one after another. Feeling the terrifying aura contained in the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel, he directly displayed the Heaven and Earth Dharma Image.

The towering Dharma Image was reflected, and then he displayed a terrifying thunder light, tearing toward the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel.

But the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel alternated and rubbed, seeming to cut open the void. Lin Zhuo still had a faint smile on his face, but a bright light flashed in the bottom of his eyes. The Divine Wheel exploded, suddenly closing, and actually emitted a terrifying Sage Dao prototype aura!

Boom! The thunder light in the sky was suddenly torn apart, and the storms, thunder, and lightning that swept over randomly were also shaken away.

This storm, ice, snow, thunder, and lightning were to avoid a stalemate in the battle and a boring protracted war. The purpose of the top 100 battle was to screen rapidly, and these storms and ice and snow would also continuously strengthen over time.

But at this moment, the battle had just broken out, and the lethality was still very ordinary, not causing interference to the two.

After breaking the thunder light, the merged Sun and Moon Divine Wheel suddenly turned into a dazzling red-gold divine light, sweeping past along the way, seeming to have sparks and light spots remaining.

With a boom, it directly tore the person's Dharma Image apart, cutting it into two halves.

That person spat out a mouthful of blood, the Dharma Image receded, and he looked at the other party in shock.

Five extreme realms revealed, and he was defeated in just two rounds.

And the other party seemed to only use the extreme realm power of the Heaven and Earth Pulse.

"So strong!"

"Is this the disciple under the Supreme Sage? Sure enough, there is capital for arrogance!"

"People were clearly humble, not arrogant."

"..."

"Speaking of which, that person is also very powerful, five extreme realms, this is also a top prodigy, actually unable to withstand a single blow in front of the Supreme Sage disciple!"

"You don't look at it, that person revealed the means of a Half-Sage. In the Dao Law Realm, how many can compare with a Half-Sage?"

The area outside the battlefield was somewhat boiling, with discussions.

Lin Zhuo put away the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel, looked at the other party's coughing blood, and smiled indifferently: "It seems your judgment is not very good, you picked the wrong soft persimmon. If you want to mix into the top 100, practice more."

After speaking, he turned and scanned the four directions, saying: "Who else is willing to teach me?"

While speaking, his gaze crossed the crowd, scanned, and then looked at Li Hao, with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly. These guys seemed to have ideas about him.

However, he didn't pay attention. The other party's Sage Dao prototype, fusing Yin and Yang, produced collision and destruction power, which was one of the Sage Daos that the Yin and Yang Great Dao could sprout.

But it was different from his own Sage Dao.

However, he was still in the budding stage of the Sage Dao prototype and hadn't truly thought about the vague Sage Dao true meaning in his heart.

"If I am in a hurry to cultivate, I can step into a Half-Sage with the prototype of the All-Living Dao, but the All-Living Dao is not my original wish..."

Li Hao's eyes flickered, thinking about the true meaning of his Sage Dao.

Seeing Li Hao didn't respond, Lin Zhuo laughed lightly and waited indifferently.

But this time, no one continued to launch a challenge.

As Lin Zhuo successfully advanced, the next one followed immediately.

As one after another went on stage, the first four or five were all under the Supreme Sages, and then other Sacred Lands snatched the opportunity.

Soon, as people from other Middle Nine Realms Sacred Lands appeared, someone challenged immediately, and the battle on the stage broke out, becoming intense.

Li Hao watched quietly, seeing that Lin Shuhai, Chi Guang, and others didn't make a move. There was only one challenge opportunity, and if they missed it, they could only defend. And if they failed to defend, they could only be eliminated.

Although they had the ambition to sprint for the top ten, seeing those disciples under the Supreme Sages now, quite a few actually had Half-Sage means, the ambition in their hearts couldn't help but slowly decline a lot, feeling pressure, and also attaching more importance to this challenge opportunity.

After several fierce battles, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely hot.

After dozens of exchanges ended, those who went on stage later didn't compete anymore, all thinking cautiously, some even wanting to stay until the end to watch more.

Not long after, Li Hao saw Chi Guang, Ji Xuanshen, and others also go on stage to defend one after another.

But their fame was not obvious, and soon people from other small worlds went on stage to challenge.

However, after fierce fighting, they all revealed extremely strong strength.

Chi Guang's Flame Dao supernatural power had already entered the Dao, easily burning the opponent, and his name began to become loud in the Heavens.

Ji Xuanshen revealed five extreme realms. Although he didn't explode with any dazzling means, the battle was like flowing clouds and running water, and his actual combat experience was extremely strong, which also made many people feel awe.

Not long after, Ming Ming Yue Jian also went on stage to defend.

When the age was reflected on the Reflection Bone Mirror, the whole field was shocked.

Only 26 years old! At such an age, he was actually able to take a spot in a small world and come to participate in the battle, which was a bit exaggerated.

Hearing the cheers outside the field, Ming Ming Yue Jian's face turned even redder, like a red apple, but after going on stage, he drew his sword, and the blush on his face receded, adding a bit of earnestness.
