The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 550 God is unkind
With the announcement by the leader of the Immortal Guards, the final top 100 places in the Southern Region Battle were decided. Then a golden list appeared out of nowhere, thousands of feet long, with golden names appearing on it. These were the top 100 places in the Southern Region Battle.

"This is the top 100 list. There is no particular order of ranking. Next up is the competition for the top 100. The Heavenly Dao will select them randomly and they will compete in pairs!"

The leader of the Immortal Guards stood in front of the Top 100 list, revealing his Dharma image. His body was a hundred feet tall and looked extremely oppressive.

"Among the top 100 this time, there are many disciples who are fake and have been blessed by others to make it into the top 100, but luck and fortune are also part of one's own strength. Their inclusion in the top 100 is also destiny!"

The original empress looked at the ten imperial platforms and saw many of the failed disciples showing reluctance. Judging from the strength alone, there must be people among them who can rank among the top 100, but it was a pity that their luck was not so good.

When one reaches their level, luck is extremely important, which is something they find difficult to fully control and comprehend.

The City of Origin of Destiny was shattered, the Great Road disappeared, and only the Immortal Emperor could touch it.

"The competition for the top ten this time should be quite interesting."

Emperor Tian Zhao said with a smile, he had already seen that in addition to the imperial family and the two supreme disciples, there were many others who would compete fiercely for the top ten places.

While they were talking, countless people from various immortal dynasties also looked expectant.

"Only three of us entered Wanshan Sword Tower. Apart from Junior Sister Qingying, there were only two of us who barely joined forces to fight our way in."

Elsewhere, in Wanshan Sword Tower, many disciples had embarrassed looks in their eyes.

The competition for the top 100 was more intense than they had imagined. Although they also had extremely powerful disciples among the True Immortal Realm disciples, the royal families of other Immortal Dynasties were too strong.

"Humph."

Tian Hongyi looked gloomy when he saw the woman standing on Li Haodi’s stage.

"Damn it, Ziyin and the others only got three spots."

On the other hand, many members of the Yunjin royal family had gloomy expressions.

Although they fought against each other, originally five of them had hopes in the competition for the top 100. However, after being driven out of the imperial platform by Li Hao, they went to compete on other imperial platforms and only got three places.

"Today, the first round of draw will be held."

The leader of the immortal guards looked around and said loudly, "Please invite the Supreme Lord to draw the numbers according to the laws of heaven!"

As he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on the gigantic image of the Supreme Being of Heaven.

The Supreme Being in Heaven has a peaceful expression, yet seems to own the heaven and earth. There is so much auspiciousness around him that people look up to him.

He raised his hand casually and pointed at the void above his head.

In an instant, thousands of rays of divine mist burst out, and the clouds in the sky dissipated, as if the gate of heaven was opened, and a deep vortex appeared.

When the vortex emerged, a vast, majestic, and indescribable aura descended on the entire mountain range, even shining through the boundary stones and descending onto the entire southern region.

Countless people in the immortal city felt a sense of panic, as if they were facing the royal majesty, or rather, it was a feeling a thousand times greater than the royal majesty. No matter whether they were humans or demons, including the ferocious beasts in the wilderness, at this moment, they all involuntarily prostrated themselves on the ground with their heads bowed.

In the clouds and mist, Emperor Chu and other emperors also put away their casual expressions, and their eyes became more solemn than ever before.

Only the Immortal Emperor can exert the laws of heaven at will. This is also the ultimate realm they dream of pursuing!
On the imperial stage, Li Hao and other contestants, who had previously stood proudly with their unique temperaments, all had changed expressions at this moment, and many of them could not help but sit down or squat on the ground.

Only a very small number of people were barely able to stand where they were, but their eyes could hardly remain calm, revealing awe and fanaticism.

Li Hao looked solemn as he stared directly at the vortex in the sky. The aura revealed from it was somewhat similar to the will of the Heavenly Venerable that he felt after achieving ultimate immortality.

The young Heavenly Dao infant in his body was now stirring, as if it wanted to rush out of his body.

The highest realm of Tao heart is the Emperor's heart of Heaven. At this moment, a sentence suddenly emerged in Li Hao's mind.

The way of heaven is unkind and regards all things as stupid dogs.

When he felt this calm, majestic, vast and profound atmosphere, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of this sentence.

The unkindness here does not mean being unjust, on the contrary, it means being impartial!
The way of heaven sees all beings as equal, and all things are equal, without bias.

Equal kindness is unkindness!

"The sea embraces all rivers, the universe is vast, only by being unkind can one accommodate and tolerate everything..."

Li Hao had some realization in his heart, as if he had suddenly been enlightened, and felt that his Tao heart seemed to have been refined.

Wind, rain, flowers and grass, all things in the world are diverse. If you are kind to flowers and grass, you are unkind to birds and animals. The so-called special kindness is both partiality and selfishness!

"The Way of Heaven embraces all things, except benevolence..."

Li Hao stared at the whirlpool and fell into a trance.

He controlled the nine origins, but only five of them could touch the emperor's road and fuse into the sword path of the Five Absolute Immortal Emperors.

However, the fusion of the nine paths cannot be achieved.

The previous Nine Flower Immortal Seal integrated the nine paths into the sword, but it was still biased, with the eight paths as auxiliary and the sword path as the main one.

This is not unkind.

"All living beings are the Lord, and all living beings are not the Lord..."

Thoughts kept pouring out of Li Hao's mind, and the Nine-Sequence Power quietly changed in his body and quietly merged into his body.

Countless people from the Southern Domain Immortal Dynasty knelt before the aura of Heaven, and the emperors of the seven dynasties above the clouds all had solemn expressions. No one noticed that the young man on the imperial platform had his eyes dazed and actually entered a state of enlightenment at this moment.

At this moment, golden lights suddenly descended from the vortex. These golden lights converged and turned into shadows of Li Hao and other top 100 contestants.

Afterwards, these shadows flew as fast as moths, along some mysterious and disordered trajectory, and soon, they stood together in pairs.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Chu, Emperor Tianzhao and other emperors also had some insights in their eyes, and their eyes were filled with thought.

For them who have only one foot touching the realm of Immortal Emperor, being able to peek into the operation of the laws of heaven is also an extremely rare opportunity.

However, it would be wishful thinking to expect to have sudden enlightenment and step into the emperor realm after just a few glimpses.

The difficulty of this last step is even ten times that of rebuilding from the Tongli Realm to the peak of the Immortal King Realm!
Once you set foot there, you will be at the top of the real world and the ultimate existence of immortals and gods!

"The top fifty have been drawn. Everyone, please look carefully at your opponents!"

The voice of the Immortal Guard Commander sounded, and his previously indifferent eyes now looked up to the sky with awe.

"Now, the imperial platforms are about to be merged, so everyone please withdraw for the time being."

The leader of the Immortal Guards said to the contestants on the ten imperial platforms.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hao and others felt a force coming from the imperial platform, trying to send them off the platform.

The crowd did not resist and flew out of the imperial platform one after another.

When there was no one on the imperial platform anymore, the ten platforms gathered together in the void. The shapes of the platforms, as they gathered together, cleverly combined into a complete and huge imperial platform!

This imperial platform combines the areas of ten imperial platforms. Its area is extremely large, as big as a fairy city!
"Now, I'll give you three sticks of incense to rest. You can take your pills now. When you're done, from left to right, start going up on stage to fight!"

The leader of the Immortal Guards said. Upon hearing this, the leftmost group of contestants' faces changed, and they quickly returned to their own sects, took out the Immortal God's precious medicine and took it.

The other injured also hurried back and were healed with precious medicine.

And most of the contestants have recovered on their own.

Although most of them do not have the veins of the stars in the sky, they all possess a lot of extreme powers, including the immortality of the immortal realm.

As long as you give it a chance to breathe, you can recover quickly.

Therefore, after the top 100 battle ended, there was no delay and the competition continued.

Only a few were seriously injured and even precious medicines could not cure them, and they needed the help of the strong men in the sect to resolve the problem.

"When you go on stage, we will check if there are any drug residues in your body. Please do not take any elixirs that temporarily enhance your immortal power or spirit."

The voice of the Immortal Guard Commander was heard.

Many of the participating disciples had already guessed this, and no one overstepped the line.

At this time, other disciples returned to the sect one after another. Seeing this, Li Hao also led Lin Qingying, Gu Yan and others back to the Great Dream Nine Abyss.

"Qingying!"

At this time, an elder rushed out from Wanshan Sword Tower and wanted to take Lin Qingying back.

Although Lin Qingying got a place in the top 100 under the protection of Li Hao, she was born in their Wanshan Sword Tower anyway. In the top 100 list, in addition to their names, the immortal dynasty and sect they belonged to were also revealed at the back.

If one does not have a sect but is a royal family, then his royal identity will be displayed.

This is also a great publicity in various immortal cities.

"No matter where you are going, don't forget the cultivation that the sect has given you."

The elder was dressed in silk and looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties or forties. She spoke to Lin Qingying.

When Lin Qingying saw her master, her expression changed slightly and she looked at Li Hao again.

Li Hao thought of what Lin Qingying said in the secret realm before, and did not embarrass her, saying: "You go back first."

Lin Qingying wanted to say something but stopped herself, but when she saw Li Hao's smiling face, she knew what Li Hao meant and nodded immediately.

Seeing this, the elder's expression towards Li Hao eased a little, and he whispered, "Thank you very much for helping Qingying get a place in the top 100."

"No need to thank you."

Li Hao shook his head, said goodbye to Lin Qingying, and returned to the Dameng Jiuyuan Sect.

Elder Luo Shang glanced at the young man's back, a complex look in his eyes. With Lin Qingying's combat power and qualifications, and the fact that he had joined the sect only a short time ago, he had passed the first two trials, which already made her look at him with new eyes. It was almost impossible for him to make it into the top 100 competition, but he made it in anyway.

On the contrary, the disciples who were highly expected from other sects were not selected, and only two people rushed in.

"Qingying, what is your relationship with that young man?"

She asked in a low voice, seeing the emotion in the disciple's eyes, but already had some answer in mind.

"Master, after this battle in the Southern Region is over, I will leave the sect. I will repay the sect for its kindness in training me in the future."

Lin Qingying shook her head and said to her master.

The Luoshang woman's expression suddenly changed, and she asked in shock: "You want to leave the sect?"

Lin Qingying nodded slightly without explaining.

The woman in Luoshang immediately guessed that it was related to Li Hao. She sighed in her heart and said, "Wanshan Sword Tower is Tianyi Sect. I have already seen Tian Hongyi's feelings for you. Are you really not considering it?"

"Master."

Lin Qingying frowned and said, "I will remember the friendship between master and disciple over the past few years. Please don't make it difficult for me."

When the woman in Luo Shang heard this, her expression changed and she finally fell silent.

"Good boy, I really belong to you!"

In the Great Dream Jiuyuan Sect, as soon as Li Hao came back, Li Tiemu excitedly grabbed Li Hao's shoulders and said in great surprise:
"We are in the Great Dream of the Nine Abysses. After a hundred thousand years of frustration, today we can finally feel proud of ourselves!"

Over the past 100,000 years, since the Southern Territory Battle was held, although Dameng Jiuyuan sent disciples to participate in the competition every year, only a very small number of them could stand out from the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty. By the time of the Southern Territory Battle, it was rare for even the top 100 to make it!
This time, Li Hao was the only hope and had a chance to compete for the top ten, which would bring glory to the sect.

But unexpectedly, Li Hao gave them a huge surprise in advance and brought the other five people in the sect into the top 100.

Although Li Tiemu is in the Heavenly Palace at the moment, he can already imagine that in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, the name of Dameng Jiuyuan should have resounded throughout the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities!
After all, among the top 100, Dameng Jiuyuan alone holds six seats!
The entire Yanchu, including the royal family, has only 18 people!
Except for Dameng Jiuyuan, there are only 12 people in total including other sects and royal family!
Among the five major Tianyi sects of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, some sects even had their entire disciples wiped out, and not a single disciple was able to squeeze in!

Although the top disciple of his sect is at the Immortal King level and will appear in the battle between the Immortal Kings later, but at this moment, Dameng Jiuyuan's reputation is unmatched.

"Haotian, the sect really wants to thank you this time."

The Great Dream Master looked at Li Hao with a gentle smile in his eyes.

When Li Hao heard her words, he quickly said, "What did the Sect Master say? We should do our best. This is what we should do."

"Why should we talk about it? Although the sect has helped you, it is far less than what you have given back to the sect."

The Great Dream Master said, knowing clearly in her heart that Li Hao had only been a member of the sect for a few years. Although she was willing to invest all the sect's top resources in Li Hao's cultivation, the time was too short after all. Moreover, she wanted to give Li Hao some treasures in Langya Painting Realm, but was rejected by Li Hao. Instead, he only talked to her about trivial matters in painting.

Li Hao smiled and said, "No favor is too big or too small."

Hearing this, Lord Dream fell silent for a moment. The words "a favor is no matter how big or small" were enough to show the sincerity of the young man in front of him.

"I told you before that after the battle in the Southern Region is over, if you can pull out Jian Yuan's sword, I will give it to you."

After a brief silence, the Great Dream Master whispered.

Seeing that Li Hao seemed to be about to refuse, she immediately said, "Don't push it away. That sword... you may not be able to pull it out. Besides, that sword was one of the nine emperor swords in the past. It's just that the emperor's soul is broken and covered in dust. It is also one of the three top treasures of my Great Dream Nine Abyss!"

Hearing her words, Li Hao opened his mouth slightly, feeling the persistence in her eyes, he knew he couldn't refuse.

After all, he is now famous in the Southern Region. As the other party said before, the ancient demon spies will also watch this battle. Therefore, he may encounter some attacks in the future. There is no reason to refuse stronger weapons to protect himself.

"it is good."

Li Hao nodded and agreed.

The Great Dream Master breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Gu Yan and the others beside him and said, "Haotian helped you to rank among the top 100. Next, you must also work hard in your battles. You don't have to win, but you must do your best to show your style and let the entire Southern Region see your unique brilliance!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing the words of the Great Dream Master, the eyes of Yue Xi, Gu Yan and others sparkled.

Indeed, they don't ask to win, they just ask to have no regrets in this battle!
