Everyone was waiting to see if he could overcome this hurdle.
On the high platform, Shi Hao continued to explain his understanding of the Dao, but the Dao bell still did not ring.
Time passed slowly, and just when everyone thought Shi Hao was about to fail.
Then Shi Hao, who had been sitting cross-legged in mid-air, suddenly stood up, his eyes showing no sign of confusion.
Everyone was a bit confused, thinking that he was preparing to withdraw.
However, in the next moment, Shi Hao directly overturned the bronze lamp.
"This……"
This action immediately shocked the group of cultivators, who thought that Shi Hao was angry out of embarrassment.
Just when some people were looking forward to seeing him make a fool of himself.
Boom!
A deep, resonant bell rang in everyone's ears, signifying that Shi Hao had passed the test.
This immediately caused an uproar.
Li Dao's figure slowly emerged from the void, and upon arriving and seeing this scene, he couldn't help but smile.
"No wonder he's such a mischievous kid."
He saw through Shi Hao's intention: his path was boundless, and the Great Dao was endless.
This is demonstrating one's inner principles through concrete actions.
Boom!
The next moment, another bell rang through the sky, and Shi Hao on the stage entered the final stage.
For the audacious Shi Hao, this final hurdle was naturally no surprise.
It was passed very easily.
However, Li Dao also sensed something unusual at this moment: the ninth bell did not ring.
But after thinking about it again, I understood what was going on.
"These old guys really know how to have fun."
"They've all learned how to cover the clock."
Deep within the Extreme Killing Dojo, Chen Qing couldn't help but open his eyes, sensing someone chanting.
At this moment, Li Dao's figure was also recognized by busybodies.
"That's Dao Yi! Dao Yi, the number one on the Heavenly Ranking! Even he was alarmed!"
"If the newcomer surpasses the established leader, will these two end up fighting?"
"Seeing is believing; Dao Yi's aura is indeed incredibly powerful."
Shi Hao, who was on the high platform, also saw Li Dao's figure and felt the power emanating from Li Dao, and his expression became serious.
"This sense of danger is so strong, is this the Dao Yi?"
"But what brings you here?"
Just as he was wondering, Li Dao, under the watchful eyes of everyone, couldn't say much and could only speak calmly:
"If you have time, you can come to the Extreme Killing Dojo to discuss the Dao."
"Your behavior as a brat is quite amusing."
Having said that, he turned and left, already sensing that the guy who had covered the Dao Bell had arrived.
Hearing the last sentence, especially the playful tone in Li Dao's voice when he said "brat," Shi Hao's pupils involuntarily contracted.
Watching Li Dao's disappearing figure, I already had some guesses in my mind.
The crowd below was in an uproar, with whispers filling the air.
"Is Dao Yi declaring war on Huang?"
"I guess so, otherwise it could just be a case of mutual appreciation between prodigies, right?"
"These two prodigies who have ascended the Heavenly Ladder, I wonder what kind of sparks they will create. I can't wait to see!"
As Shi Hao pondered, a golden light flashed and he was immediately taken away from his original spot.
Meanwhile, Li Dao returned to his cultivation room, this time only to see his old friend, whom he had promised to continue his cultivation.
The next morning, Shi Hao, looking sullen, arrived at the Extreme Killing Dojo.
Standing before this platinum-colored dojo, I felt a chill run down my spine, sensing a terrifying killing intent lurking within me.
That killing intent wasn't directed at anyone; it was purely for the sake of killing.
This is called killing without killing; the moment one senses it, one feels as if they have fallen into the deepest abyss, and cold sweat pours down their back.
Jin Yan looked somewhat surprised when she saw Shi Hao arrive.
However, news of yesterday's events reached her ears, and her thoughts were the same as the other cultivators: the two were about to have a battle.
But seeing that Shi Hao came alone, without any fighting spirit, as if he had just come to see an old friend, doubts arose in his heart.
Despite his inner turmoil, he did not delay and led Shi Hao into the courtyard where Li Dao was.
The closer they got to the courtyard, the stronger the pure killing intent became, and Shi Hao's eyes were filled with confusion.
The doors opened to the sides, and as soon as the two entered, they saw Li Dao, who had already brewed tea under the pavilion.
Li Dao slightly turned his head, a faint smile on his lips, which made Jin Yan feel somewhat dazed.
Having never seen Li Dao with such an expression before, he immediately guessed that the two knew each other.
His expression suddenly became quite interesting, but he could only suppress his various thoughts and retreat.
Seeing Li Dao's demeanor, Shi Hao felt a little relieved.
Although Qi Daolin assured him that he would take responsibility if anything happened.
But seeing that the atmosphere was no longer tense, his tense expression relaxed a little.
Seeing Shi Hao's somewhat reserved and uncomfortable demeanor, Li Dao found it amusing and couldn't help but tease him:
"What? You don't recognize me anymore?"
"Shi Hao".
After Li Dao finished speaking, a bone knife as white as frost slowly floated to his side, its blade interwoven with crimson light.
Shi Hao's pupils contracted slightly upon seeing the bone knife, and recalling everything that had happened before, he immediately blurted out:
"Senior Brother Li?"
Li Dao chuckled, and seeing that he recognized him, invited him to sit down.
Shi Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, sat opposite Li Dao, and said with delight in his eyes:
"It's really you!"
Li Dao smiled slightly and put the bone knife away.
Shi Hao was indeed very pleasantly surprised to see Li Dao again.
"Ever since we parted ways, when Senior Brother fought alone against a Celestial God-level expert, I have been constantly worried about your condition."
"How have you been?"
Li Dao gently held the teacup, his gaze becoming distant, and recounted some events of the past few days.
As Shi Hao listened, he couldn't help but hold his breath for Li Dao's perilous encounter.
"It is already a blessing that we, fellow disciples, can meet again."
"What a pity. If I had known you were here, I would have joined the Extreme Killing Dojo too. I was tricked by that old geezer."
Li Dao was speechless and didn't say anything more.
Although Qi Daolin is a bit unconventional, he is very reliable when it comes to protecting his own.
It can be said that Shi Hao's ability to join the Supreme Dojo was preordained, since he claimed to be a successor of the Supreme Dojo when he was in the lower realm.
This can be considered a cover-up.
The two talked by candlelight, not about supernatural powers or magic, but about their own experiences.
Li Dao also did not expect that Shi Hao's experiences during this period would be so tortuous and exciting.
The next morning, Shi Hao left early to go to the Immortal Pool to refine the Golden Bodhi Fruit with the help of the Tribulation-Crossing Divine Lotus.
Jin Yan watched Shi Hao's departing figure, her eyes deep and thoughtful.
Meanwhile, Shi Hao had entered the Immortal Pool and saw the divine lotus that was constantly being struck by lightning.
However, his gaze was drawn to the fruit within the core of the Immortal Pool.
The golden lotus emitted a seven-colored radiance, and in the center of the lotus sat a golden Dharma body cross-legged.
His five hearts faced the sky, his face obscured by chaotic energy, and a pure white lotus flower swayed gently beside him.
The lightning waterfall overhead constantly pounded down, like an immortal who was about to return from a tribulation at any moment.
Shi Hao felt the oppressive aura emanating from that Dharma body, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
"Is this the little trinket that Senior Brother Li mentioned leaving behind?"
"This little thing is really scary."
He shook his head, then sat cross-legged beneath it, drawing upon the aura of the Tribulation Lotus to begin refining the Golden Bodhi Fruit.
On the other side, Li Dao did not enter the cultivation room, but instead went to the site of the sages' inscriptions deep in the academy.
The inscriptions left by sages and worthies record the traces left by the sages and outstanding figures of the academy throughout the ages. A day of enlightenment here is more effective than half a year of arduous study.
Li Dao had already sensed the barrier and was preparing to come here to seek an opportunity for a breakthrough in his Daoist arts.
With the Three Thousand Provinces Genius Battle imminent, even he felt a sense of pressure.
After all, with over 50 million Venerables competing on the same stage, the difficulty is unimaginable.
