The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 544: Fight for the Imperial Stage
“Fish yesterday for yesterday, fish today for today, it will come naturally.”

The old man smiled indifferently and carried the fish basket to the original position. There was a dent there, left by sitting on the small bench for a long time yesterday.

"How was it? Did you get anything last night?"

The old man asked casually, but his words revealed two different meanings.

Li Hao didn't take the bait last night. He shook his head and said, "No, but there has been movement."

"Oh?"

The old man chuckled, understanding what Li Hao meant, and said, "That's pretty good. You're talented to be able to detect movement in my fishing ground."

"Senior, that's a big reward."

Li Hao scratched his head. If he really had talent, he should have reached the twelfth level of mind by now.

But he has already understood the threshold of the domain, and the domain has its own unique rules. If he wants to find loopholes in other people's rules and catch his own "fish", he still has some distance to go.

"Fishing is a profound subject, young man, learn it well."

The old man chuckled, then took out his golden fishing rod and started fishing in the lake.

Li Hao didn't say much, just lowered his head in thought.

Time passed, and a day went by in a blink of an eye. Today, the old man caught two more fish, not the two from yesterday. However, in Li Hao's perception, the lake was empty. He knew that he had not yet found the real world obscured by the laws in the other party's domain.

When the moon rose, the old man got up and left again. Li Hao also hung up the phone and said goodbye to the old man.

"Not going on?"

Seeing Li Hao was about to leave, the old man said with interest: "If you leave now, you will be the air force."

The corners of Li Hao's mouth twitched slightly. These two words were a great stimulation to a fisherman.

But he was not angry. Instead, he bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for the wine, senior. I will come again next time when I am free."

"That's an exchange. The food you brought is not bad either."

The old man smiled, didn't ask any more questions, waved his hand and said: "Then we'll see each other again if we're lucky."

Neither of them asked each other's name. They waved to each other, one walked into the forest, staggering down the mountain, while the other jumped at the top of the mountain and flew away with the wind.

Only the lake on the earth was silent, reflecting the brilliance of the moon.

When I returned to the courtyard arranged by the Heavenly Palace, I saw the Lord of Dreams waiting there.

"The battle will begin tomorrow. Are you prepared?"

When the Great Dream Master saw Li Hao return, he felt relieved and asked.

Li Hao nodded, and at the same time took out some delicacies collected from various cities from the space between heaven and earth, handed a few to her, and said: "These taste good, Sect Master can try them."

"Have you been looking for food these past two days?"

The Lord of Dreams was stunned, but when he smelled the tempting fragrance, he took it over with his hand.

"You are really bold. The war is imminent, and others are in seclusion or resting their minds, but you are traveling around. Should we say that your heart is indeed better than others?"

The Great Dream Master said.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Victory and defeat are common in the military, just do your best."

Seeing that Li Hao didn't care about winning or losing or the ranking, Lord Da Meng smiled bitterly in his heart, but he also understood that it was normal for Li Hao to let go of these things since he had such a heart for Taoism.

"Take a rest, tomorrow won't be easy."

The Great Dream Master took the food and left without disturbing Li Hao again.

Li Hao sat in the courtyard, looking at the bright moonlight and thinking of the lake where he fished. Suddenly, he was inspired and used his immortal power as ink to draw a picture of an old man fishing in the courtyard.

As his mind was immersed in the painting, he seemed to be able to vaguely integrate into the artistic conception of the old man's fishing and had a deeper feeling for the fishing grounds described by the old man.

Time passed quickly, and when Li Hao opened his eyes again, it was already the next day.

Outside the courtyard, the image of the Great Dream Lord appeared and gathered the disciples of the sect.

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

Yuexi, Gu Yan and others came one after another, and Yin Jingcheng, Meng Huaiyue and others also arrived.

"Walk."

The Great Dream Master glanced at everyone and his gaze lingered on Li Hao. Seeing that Li Hao looked good, he felt relieved and immediately led everyone away.

As the various sects gathered, the figure of the Emperor of Chu appeared and led everyone to the battle site.

This is a continuous mountain range. When Li Hao and others arrived, they saw that the many peaks of this continuous mountain range were crowded with people. Countless figures were spread all over the mountain range like ants, and noisy conversations were heard one after another.

"so many people."

Yuexi couldn't help but whisper.

"These are the local people of the Tiangong Realm, who are able to come and watch the battle on site."

The Great Dream Master said.

They landed on a main peak of the mountain range. It was an extremely empty place. In addition to the various sects of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, 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 Jianxin, the supreme disciple who displayed extremely strong swordsmanship in the True Immortal Secret Realm.

Next to him was a young girl in blue, her expression as cold and frosty, without any deliberateness, but with a sense of tranquility as profound as the sea or a lake, as if she didn't care about or be moved by anything.

The two of them stood together, their expressions revealing an indifference that transcended the mundane world, like peerless immortals banished from the world, stunning.

In addition, Li Hao also saw Chi Ying. She was still wearing a red dress, like a hot flame, but her expression was arrogant and cold, with an aura of murderous intent from years of fighting.

Li Hao thought that when he had time, he would ask her where Lie Tiansheng was.

As people from various immortal dynasties arrived, the majestic figure of the Supreme Being of Heaven also emerged. Sitting in the clouds on the top of the mountain, his figure was as dazzling as the divine sun, and everyone on the nearby peaks could look up and see him.

When the Supreme Being of Heavenly Palace appeared, the emperors of the Immortal Dynasties who were originally sitting in various places in the clouds all stood up.

Although they are emperors of a dynasty, when facing the Supreme Lord of Heaven in the realm of Immortal Emperor, they still have to follow the etiquette of immortals and gods.

You must bow when you meet the Immortal Emperor!
Except for Emperor Chu and other emperors of various dynasties, all other Tianzong, including Lord Dameng and others, all bent down. The scene was extremely magnificent, like wind blowing through bamboo forests, and all of them bowed their heads.

The Supreme Lord of Heavenly Palace waved his hand slightly to indicate that the ceremony was over. At the same time, he asked the leader of the immortal guards around him to come out and preside over the battle in the Southern Region.

"After the first two trials, you have already stood out from the various dynasties. Now, the battle for the Southern Territory has truly begun!"

"Today is the battle for the imperial throne."

The Immortal Guards' leader spoke in a loud voice. He swept his eyes across the entire venue, suppressing all the noise from the spectators from all over the mountains. This made the area within a radius of ten thousand miles quiet, with only his voice echoing between heaven and earth:

"Here, there are ten imperial platforms!"

He raised his finger and everyone looked up, and saw ten stone platforms suspended in the sky at the top of the peak, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.

"Each emperor platform can only accommodate ten people. If you climb up to the emperor platform, you will pass and be the winner of the top 100 in the real fairyland!" The leader of the fairy guards said, "The top 100 will be randomly selected according to the laws of heaven. It will be a two-on-two duel. It is absolutely random and depends entirely on luck. Of course, if you want to compete for the top ten, you will inevitably fight against other powerful enemies. There will be no luck."

Many people were surprised when they heard the rules he announced. It was not about the two-on-two duels after the top 100, but the fact that 90% of the people would be eliminated directly at the beginning and only the top 100 would be selected!

Compared with the eliminations in the first two rounds, the proportion this time is more exaggerated.

In the first two rounds, at most only one third of the players were eliminated.

But this time it’s 90%!
"Ten imperial platforms..."

The eyes of Li Hao and others all fell on the ten imperial platforms suspended in the air on the top of the mountain. There was no doubt that the fight for these imperial platforms would be a bloody and fierce battle.

"Today, it is the True Immortal Group's competition. Once the top ten and the champion of the True Immortal Group are determined, it will be the Immortal Lord Group."

The Immortal Guard Commander said.

Hearing his words, the expressions of the Immortal Kings present were slightly shaken, knowing that their battle would be postponed.

If the True Immortal Realm and the Immortal King Realm were to be held at the same time, then everyone in the Southern Region would probably focus on the Immortal King Realm group, which would overshadow the performance of the True Immortal Realm group.

"Before the fight, the Supreme will reflect your souls. If you die, you will have a chance to reincarnate. After all, everyone here is the pride of my True Realm. This Southern Region Battle is also to select the best pride to become the pillars of my True Realm and fight against the ancient demons. If you die here, it will be a loss."

The leader of the Immortal Guards said this, which was equivalent to telling everyone that there was no need to worry and they could fight to their heart's content.

Above the clouds, the Emperor of Chu and other emperors of various dynasties had just learned the rules of the battle.

Hearing what the Immortal Guard Commander said, Emperor Tian Zhao asked in doubt, "If the disciples of the sects unite, can they fight for an imperial throne together? This doesn't seem fair."

Beside him, the Scarlet Emperor had a cold expression on his jade-white face and said, "The real highlight of this battle is to select the top ten. The top 100 is just a consolation for these disciples. Besides, if a sect really tries to join forces to occupy an imperial platform, it depends on whether other sects agree or not."

"Yes, it looks like it will be quite fun to watch."

Beside him, Emperor Jiang stroked his beard and smiled, with amusement in his eyes, as if he foresaw the fight that would follow.

"The number of places is limited. How will they choose? If the two dragons and phoenixes of the Heavenly Palace join forces, they should be able to protect the other disciples of the Heavenly Palace."

The Emperor of Jin chuckled but glanced towards the Supreme of Heavenly Palace.

At this moment, everyone else also thought of what they were discussing, and they immediately looked at the Immortal Guard Commander in surprise and suspicion.

"The battle for the throne will last for two hours. The one who stands on the throne at the end will be considered among the top 100!"

The leader of the Immortal Guards raised his hand, and a stream of immortal power condensed into a hazy glow in his palm, which slowly rose into the air. He then said, "In ten breaths, the battle for the imperial throne will begin. All True Immortal Realms, get ready!"

Having said that, he stepped aside.

Seeing that there were no additional explanations of the rules, everyone was surprised and looked at each other.

"It seems that this is a melee, which not only tests personal ability, but also the sect's foundation and vision!"

The Great Dream Master had a solemn look on his face. He glanced at Li Hao, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes. He said, "This is a good thing. If you join forces with Haotian, maybe you can all rank among the top 100!"

Hearing this, Yue Xi and Gu Yan both looked at Li Hao. Lin Mingrong, who had passed by earlier, also glanced at Li Hao with shining eyes.

In the True Immortal group, Li Hao's performance is expected to be in the top ten. If he can lead them to occupy an imperial platform, it is very likely.

"Humph, how many people in the sect can make it to the top 100 this time depends entirely on you."

Beside him, Yin Jingcheng snorted coldly when he saw that Li Hao had become the focus again.

Li Hao treated it as a buzzing mosquito and ignored it. He glanced to another place and met the eyes of Lin Qingying who was standing in Wanshan Sword Tower.

Li Hao signaled to her with his eyes, and Lin Qingying immediately understood and nodded.

Soon, the magic spell cast by the leader of the Immortal Guards exploded in mid-air, bursting out with brilliant light, which also meant that the ten breaths of time were up.

"start!"

The leader of the Immortal Guards shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, many real immortal realms on the top of the mountain suddenly swarmed out, like a rain of arrows shot from the ground, rushing towards the imperial platform in unison.

"Walk."

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

Lin Qingying turned into a green light and came flying.

"Lin Qingying, where are you going?"

Lin Qingying's fellow disciples nearby were all horrified when they saw what happened.

"Qingying!"

When Tian Hongyi saw this, his face darkened. Lin Qingying had told him before that she had someone in her heart, but he didn't expect that she would meet Li Hao openly at this time. Obviously, Li Hao was the one in her heart.

His face darkened and he stared at Li Hao, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Li Hao sensed the sudden murderous aura and looked in the direction. When he saw that it was Tian Hongyi, an Immortal King from Wanshan Sword Tower, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Walk."

Li Hao grabbed Lin Qingying's hand, ignored everything else, and flew towards the imperial platform with them.

This imperial platform was covered by special immortal laws. Li Hao chose an imperial platform with few people. There were three people standing on it at this moment, and they all looked wary of each other.

Li Hao led Lin Qingying, Gu Yan and others to land. In an instant, seven places were filled, filling up the seats on the imperial platform.

Seeing that Li Hao chose this imperial platform, the faces of the three people changed slightly. They had all heard about Li Hao's performance in the previous two trials. During the three days of rest, with the help of the sect, they reviewed the performance of other disciples in the previous two trials and knew that Li Hao was definitely the best among them.

As soon as Li Hao and others landed, someone flew over from behind.

However, as soon as the other party stepped onto the imperial platform, Li Hao and everyone else felt a repulsive force coming from the imperial platform, which seemed to push them all out.

At the same time, the air in the imperial platform became heavy, with a strong binding force.

“We’re outnumbered!”

Among the three people who came in earlier, a young man had a gloomy face and stared at the newcomer.

Although he wanted Li Hao and Lin Qingying and others around him to leave, it was obvious that doing so would lead to a conflict with Li Hao.

"Then get out."

The latecomer glanced at Li Hao, revealing a trace of fear, and spoke coldly to the young man who spoke.

While they were talking, more people took off and landed on the throne.

This imperial platform is several thousand meters in diameter and has a considerable area, but it is restricted by special immortal laws. Even though it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, there are only ten places available at this time.

In a blink of an eye, the number of people on the imperial platform increased to more than twenty people.

No one took action first, but they were wary of each other, as if looking for an opportunity.

Suddenly, the imperial platform began to shake, and then a strong pressure came down from the void. Li Hao immediately found that his flesh and blood was shrinking uncontrollably.
