Chapter 775: Imperial Platform Struggle

"Yesterday fishes yesterday, today fishes today, naturally I have to come."

The old man smiled indifferently, carrying the fish basket to the original position. There was a depression there, left by sitting on a small stool for a long time yesterday.

"How about it, any harvest last night?"

The old man asked casually, but what he knew had two meanings.

Li Hao didn't get hooked last night. He shook his head and said: "No, but there is already movement."

"Oh?"

The old man laughed lightly, understanding the meaning in Li Hao's words, saying: "That is also very good. Being able to perceive movement in my fishing ground, you have talent."

"Senior, you flatter me."

Li Hao scratched his head. If he really had talent, at this time he should have touched the twelfth-stage state of mind.

But he had already realized the threshold of the domain, and within the domain, there were laws that belonged to him. Wanting to find flaws in other people's laws and fishing for 'fish' that belonged to him still had a distance.

"Fishing is a very deep study, youth, realize it well."

The old man laughed lightly and freely, then took out his golden rod and fished in the lake.

Li Hao didn't say much, lowering his head to ponder silently.

Time passed, and a day passed in a blink. Today, the old man caught two more catches. They were not the two from yesterday, and in Li Hao's perception, this lake was empty. He knew he hadn't found the real world covered by laws in the other party's domain.

Waiting until the moon rose, the old man stood up to return again. Li Hao also collected the line and said goodbye to the old man.

"Not continuing anymore?"

The old man saw Li Hao was about to leave and said with interest: "You are returning empty-handed now."

Li Hao's mouth twitched slightly. These two words were a huge stimulation for fishermen.

But he wasn't angry, instead cupping his hands and bowing respectfully, saying: "Many thanks for the wine, senior. I will come again when I have time."

"That was an exchange, the food you brought was also not bad."

The old man laughed, didn't ask much, waved his hand and said: "Then we will meet again if fate allows."

Neither of them asked for the other party's name, waving to each other. One walked toward the forest, swaying down the mountain, while the other leaped on the summit and flew away with the wind.

Only the lake surface on the ground was silent, reflecting the brilliance of the moonlight.

After returning to the courtyard arranged by the Tiangong, just as he returned, he saw the Great Dream Master waiting here.

"Tomorrow is the battle, any preparations?"

The Great Dream Master saw Li Hao return, her heart relieved, and asked.

Li Hao nodded, and at the same time took out some delicacies collected in various cities from the heaven and earth space, handing a few portions to her, saying: "The taste of these is not bad, Sect Master can try."

"You went to find food these two days?"

The Great Dream Master was stunned, but smelling the alluring fragrance, her palm reached out and took it.

"Your heart is truly big. With the great battle imminent, others are all in seclusion or resting their minds, but you are good, still wandering everywhere. Should I say that your Dao heart is indeed one step ahead of others."

The Great Dream Master said.

Li Hao laughed, saying: "Victory or defeat is a common matter for soldiers, just do your best."

Seeing Li Hao didn't take victory, defeat, and ranking to heart, the Great Dream Master felt a secret bitter smile in her heart, but also understood that Li Hao had such a Dao heart, and being able to see through these was normal.

"Rest, tomorrow won't be easy."

The Great Dream Master took the food and left lightly, not disturbing Li Hao again.

Li Hao sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight, thinking of the fishing lake, and suddenly felt something in his heart. In the courtyard, he used immortal power as ink, and picked up a pen to paint a picture of an old man fishing.

Immersed in the painting, he seemed to faintly be able to merge into the artistic conception of the old man fishing, having a deeper feeling for the fishing ground the old man spoke of.

Time was fast. When Li Hao opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

Outside the courtyard, the Great Dream Master's Dharma image manifested, gathering the disciples in the sect.

Li Hao put away the painting, stood up and left the courtyard, gathering outside.

Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and others arrived one after another, and Yin Jingcheng, Meng Huaiyue, and others also arrived.

"Go."

The Great Dream Master swept her gaze over everyone, her gaze lingering on Li Hao. Seeing Li Hao's complexion was good, she felt relieved in her heart, and immediately led the crowd away.

Following the gathering of various sects, the Chu Emperor's figure manifested, leading the crowd to the venue of the battle.

This was a continuous mountain range. When Li Hao and the others arrived, they saw that the many peaks of this continuous mountain range were actually crowded with people. Countless figures were spread across the entire mountain range like ants, and the noisy communication sounds rose and fell one after another.

"So many people."

Yue Xi couldn't help but whisper.

"These are all people from the Tiangong territory who can come to the scene to watch the battle."

The Great Dream Master said.

They landed on a main peak of the mountain range. This place was extremely empty. Besides the various heavenly sects of the Yan Chu Qin Xianchao, people from other immortal dynasties also arrived one after another.

Li Hao saw the figures of Di Linchen, Shen Wuji, and others, and also saw the personal disciple of the Supreme who revealed extremely strong Sword Dao in the True Immortal Secret Realm, Jian Xin.

Beside him was a green-clothed girl, her expression cold as frost. Without being deliberate, she had a deep and distant tranquility like the ocean and lakes, as if she wouldn't care or be moved by anything.

The two stood together, their expressions both revealing a detachment from the mortal world, like peerless immortals descended to earth, stunning to behold.

In addition, Li Hao also saw Chi Ying. The other party was still in a red dress, like a passionate flame, but her expression was arrogant and cold, having a killing aura from years of fighting.

Li Hao thought to himself, when he had time, he would find her and ask where the Sage of Lies was.

As people from various immortal dynasties arrived, the towering Dharma image of the Tiangong Supreme also manifested, sitting in the clouds on the summit. His figure was as dazzling as the divine sun, and everyone on the nearby peaks could look up and watch.

When the Tiangong Supreme manifested, the Emperors of various immortal dynasties who were originally sitting in various places in the clouds all stood up one after another.

Although they were Emperors of a dynasty, facing the Tiangong Supreme of the Immortal Emperor Realm, they still had to follow the etiquette of immortal gods.

Seeing the Immortal Emperor, one cannot but bow!

Besides the Chu Emperor and other Emperors, other heavenly sects, including the Great Dream Master and others, all bent their waists one after another. This scene was extremely magnificent, like wind blowing through a bamboo forest, all bowing their heads.

The Tiangong Supreme waved his hand slightly, signaling the end of the ceremony, and also let the Immortal Guard Commander beside him come out to preside over this Southern Region Battle.

"After two trials, you have already stood out from various dynasties. Now, the Southern Region Battle truly begins!"

"Today is the Imperial Platform Struggle."

The Immortal Guard Commander's voice was loud. His gaze swept across the audience, pressing down all the noisy sounds of the spectators from all over the peaks, making this square ten thousand miles of heaven and earth silent, with only his voice echoing between heaven and earth:

"Here, there are ten Imperial Platforms!"

He raised his finger and pointed. The crowd looked up and saw ten stone platforms suspended in the high sky of the peak, radiating an ancient and vicissitudinous aura.

"Each Imperial Platform can only accommodate ten spots. Climbing the Imperial Platform counts as passing, deciding the top hundred of the True Immortal Realm!"

The Immortal Guard Commander said: "The top hundred battle will be randomly drawn by the Heavenly Dao laws, dueling in pairs. That is absolute randomness. It all depends on luck. Of course, wanting to compete for the top ten, one will inevitably clash head-on with other strong enemies, and there will definitely be no lucky ones."

Hearing the rules he announced, many were surprised. It wasn't the duel in pairs after the top hundred battle, but that at the very beginning, they actually had to directly eliminate ninety percent of the people, only selecting the top hundred!

Compared to the elimination of the first two rounds, in terms of proportion, this time was even more exaggerated.

The first two rounds at most only eliminated one-third.

But this time it was ninety percent!

"Ten Imperial Platforms..."

The gazes of Li Hao and the others all fell on the ten Imperial Platforms suspended on the summit. Undoubtedly, this Imperial Platform struggle was bound to be a fierce slaughter of blood and rain.

"Today is the contest of the True Immortal group. After the top ten and the crown of the True Immortal group are decided, it will be the Immortal Monarch Realm group."

The Immortal Guard Commander said.

Hearing his words, the Immortal Monarch Realm experts present all had slight changes in expression, knowing their battle was postponed.

If the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal Monarch Realm were held at the same time, the people of the Southern Region would probably all watch the Immortal Monarch Realm group, which would make the performance of the True Immortal Realm group lose its color.

"Before the struggle, the Supreme will reflect your soul-hearts. If you fall, there is also a chance of reincarnation. After all, you are all heaven's pride experts of the ten thousand clans of my true world. This Southern Region Battle is also to select the most top-tier heaven's pride experts to become the pillars of my true world, fighting against the Ancient Demons. If you fall here, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain."

The Immortal Guard Commander said. This sentence was also equivalent to telling everyone that they didn't need to have worries, and could fight and compete to their heart's content.

On the clouds, the Chu Emperor and other Emperors also just learned the rules of the battle.

At this time, hearing what the Immortal Guard Commander said, Emperor Tianzhao questioned: "If there are sect disciples uniting, wouldn't they be able to unite to compete for an Imperial Platform? This doesn't seem fair enough."

Beside, the Red Emperor had a cold and gorgeous face as white as jade, saying: "This battle, the real highlight is selecting those top ten. The top hundred is just a comfort for these disciples. Besides, if any sect tries to unite to dominate an Imperial Platform, they have to see if other sects agree."

"That's right, I feel there will be quite a bit of fun to watch."

Beside, Emperor Jiang stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes revealing playfulness, as if foreseeing the struggle that would follow.

"The spots are limited, how will they choose? If the two dragons and phoenixes of the Tiangong unite, they should be able to protect other disciples of the Tiangong."

Emperor Jin laughed lightly, but his gaze glanced toward the Tiangong Supreme.

At this time, the things they were discussing were also thought of by others, immediately looking at the Immortal Guard Commander in shock and doubt.

"Imperial Platform struggle, lasts for two hours. Finally standing on the Imperial Platform counts as ranking in the top hundred!"

The Immortal Guard Commander raised his hand, the immortal power in his palm condensing into misty rosy light, slowly rising into the sky, then said: "Ten breaths later, the Imperial Platform struggle begins, all True Immortal Realm experts prepare!"

After speaking, he retreated to the side.

Seeing that he had no supplementary rule explanation, everyone was surprised, looking at each other.

"It seems this is a chaotic battle, testing both individual ability and sect foundation, and vision!"

The Great Dream Master had a solemn expression, her gaze sweeping toward Li Hao, but she revealed a trace of relaxation, saying: "This is also a good thing. If you unite and cooperate with Haotian, it is possible to rank in the top hundred!"

Hearing this, Yue Xi and Gu Yan both looked toward Li Hao, and Lin Mingrong, who had passed earlier, also swept toward Li Hao, her eyes shining.

In the True Immortal group, Li Hao's performance had hope for the top ten. If he led them to dominate an Imperial Platform, it was very possible.

"Hmph, how many people in the sect can rank in the top hundred this time all depends on you."

Beside, Yin Jingcheng saw Li Hao becoming the focus again, and let out a cold snort.

Li Hao regarded him as a mosquito buzzing, directly ignoring him. He swept his gaze toward another place, meeting the gaze of Lin Qingying standing in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Tower. Li Hao signaled to her with his eyes, and Lin Qingying immediately understood, nodding.

Soon, the immortal technique unleashed by the Immortal Guard Commander exploded in mid-air, bursting with gorgeous light, which also meant that the ten breaths of time had passed.

"Start!"

The Immortal Guard Commander shouted loudly.

As his words fell, the many True Immortal Realm experts on the peak rushed out in a swarm, like an arrow rain shot from the ground, rushing toward the Imperial Platform.

"Go."

Li Hao also greeted Yue Xi, Gu Yan, and other disciples in the sect, and at the same time beckoned to Lin Qingying.

Lin Qingying transformed into a green light and flew over.

"Lin Qingying, where are you going?"

Beside, seeing this, the fellow sect disciples of Lin Qingying were all shocked.

"Qingying!"

Tian Hongyi saw this, his face also sinking. Earlier Lin Qingying told him that she had someone in her heart, but didn't expect that at this moment she would openly join Li Hao. Clearly, Li Hao was the person in her heart.

His face turned gloomy, staring tightly at Li Hao, a killing intent flashing in the depths of his eyes.

Li Hao sensed the killing intent that suddenly arrived, looked along the direction, and seeing it was Tian Hongyi, an Immortal Monarch Realm heaven's pride expert of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Tower, his brows slightly raised.

"Go."

Li Hao grabbed Lin Qingying's palm, didn't pay attention to anything else, and led them to fly toward the Imperial Platform.

On this Imperial Platform, there was a special immortal Dao law covering it. Li Hao chose an Imperial Platform with fewer people. At this time, three people were standing on it, all looking wary of each other.

Li Hao led Lin Qingying, Gu Yan, and others to land. In an instant, they were seven spots, occupying the spots on this Imperial Platform.

Seeing Li Hao choose this Imperial Platform, those three people's faces changed slightly. They had heard of Li Hao's performance in the first two trials. During these three days of rest, they had also reviewed the performances of other disciples in the first two trials, knowing that Li Hao was definitely an outstanding one among them.

Just after Li Hao and the others landed, others flew over one after another.

It was just that just after the other party stepped onto the Imperial Platform, Li Hao and everyone else felt a repulsive force coming from the Imperial Platform, as if to push them all out.

At the same time, the air in the Imperial Platform became heavy, with a kind of powerful binding force.

"The number of people has exceeded!"

Among the three who entered first, a youth had a gloomy face, staring at the latecomers.

Although he wanted Li Hao and Lin Qingying and others beside him to leave more, clearly, doing so would cause a conflict with Li Hao.

"Then you get out."

The latecomer swept his gaze over Li Hao, revealing a trace of fear,

and said coldly to the youth who spoke.

While they were talking, others leaped one after another, coming to the Imperial Platform.

This Imperial Platform was several thousand meters in diameter, and the area was not small, but restricted by special immortal Dao laws. Even if it could accommodate tens of thousands of people, at this time there were only ten spots.

In a blink, the Imperial Platform increased to more than twenty people.

No one moved first, but were all wary of each other, as if looking for an opportunity.

Suddenly, the Imperial Platform shook. Following that, a strong pressure vibrated down from the void. Li Hao immediately discovered that his flesh and blood were uncontrollably withering. ===== CHAPTER 776 =====

Suddenly, the Imperial Platform began to shake, and immediately after, a powerful pressure surged down from the void. Li Hao instantly discovered that his own flesh and blood were uncontrollably shriveling up.
