Chapter 1310: Chapter 294: The End (2)

“You kid, I told you you’d get tenth, and you really got tenth!”

“How did you do it?”

He looked at Li Hao with a face full of astonishment, incredulous.

“Just kept my head down and pushed forward,” Li Hao said with a smile.

Li Tie Mu rolled his eyes, thinking it’s not that simple, but he had no real intent to probe into Li Hao’s secrets.

The disciple could perform like this, he already understood that he, as the convenient master, got the benefit. Nothing he taught could enable such a performance; only another inheritance or some fate could.

No matter what, it’s a good thing, and the bond of the master-disciple relationship still remains; he wishes Li Hao well.

The two descended, and Zhou Qingyun and others gathered around, amazed as they congratulated Li Hao.

Lin Mingrong looked at the boy surrounded by everyone like stars encircling the moon, her eyes complex. She hadn’t expected the boy she once misunderstood to possess such terrifying talent.

She understood that they were as different as dragons and fish, and their paths would only further diverge.

Nearby, Gu Yan and Yue Xi also wore complicated expressions. Their time joining the Sect was similar to Li Hao’s, and their realms were comparable, yet the current disparity was vast and unsettling.

“This little junior brother has really made us proud.”

Murong Qingwu murmured.

Besides those from Sword Abyss, disciples from other Abysses also gathered, all wanting to see up close the strongest prodigy of the Great Dream Nine Abysses, curious about his remarkable abilities.

In Gun Abyss, dressed in black, Su Yechen stood still. His fellow brothers rushed towards that place like bees, yet he remained as an unyielding rock beside the roaring tide, staring intently at the returning boy from afar.

With his Immortal Monarch Realm cultivation, he could easily see that the opponent’s aura was clearly at the True Immortal Realm, not even reaching the Ten Layers of Perfection.

The fact that such a person ranked ahead of him…

His eyes stayed fixed, silent.

Seeing the crowd around him, Li Hao immediately realized that his ranking in the sect had spread. However, with the event soon to end, there was no need to hide it any longer. He raised his hand to greet everyone, thanking his fellow disciples for their warm congratulations.

“Senior brother, you’re only at the True Immortal Realm, how did you manage to rank higher than Ye Chen senior brother?”

In the crowd, a disciple couldn’t help but ask in wonder.

This question resonated with many disciples’ thoughts, all looking at Li Hao with wide, curious eyes, as if twinkling stars.

Li Hao didn’t know who Ye Chen senior brother was, nor did he ask, answering with a smile:

“It seems this Desolate Domain has no cultivation limits. As long as you work hard, you can do it too.”

“Senior brother, you really know how to comfort people.”

That person smiled wryly.

Li Tie Mu waved his hand, stopping the crowd to prevent further probing, and simply pulled Li Hao back to Sword Abyss as he asked:

“You brat, three days passed, what did you do? Didn’t wander around in there again, did you?”

Li Hao’s ranking had climbed to tenth long ago, not changing for three days, making him think Li Hao had gone back to play in earlier Desolate Domains.

“Nah, was just trying to get a sense of it inside.”

Li Tie Mu was speechless for a moment, then looked up at the Immortal Monument, “Now that you’re the tenth gatekeeper, who knows if there’ll be more challengers. The one you pushed down before, I found out through someone, is a Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower disciple, second only to Tian Hongyi, and has Emperor Blood in their veins. They probably won’t let it go easily; the final competition will be particularly fierce.”

“If I get pushed down, so be it.”

Li Hao said with a smile.

Seeing Li Hao’s relaxed demeanor, Li Tie Mu was a bit speechless but guessed that getting to this ranking must have pushed him to his limits. He didn’t elaborate further, simply saying:

“Then let fate decide. The difference between tenth and eleventh is quite significant.”

Li Hao neither agreed nor worried much. If he couldn’t secure the top ten reward, it was no big deal.

While the two conversed, in another part of Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower.

“The time has come. This time, try to last for two days!”

Zhang Xuanyu stood up, his eyes filled with cold intent.

Previously, staying in the twelfth Desolate Domain for just one day drained his immortal power.

Now, he planned to use a secret technique, enduring there for just one more day!

As for breaking through the twelfth Desolate Domain… it was a bit too much for him.

After all, the Desolate Domain itself is extremely difficult to traverse. Many Earth Sect’s True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer disciples were supposed to correspond to the tenth Desolate Domain, but many barely managed to remain in the tenth Desolate Domain for a short time. Only top prodigies could last longer.

“Xuanyu senior brother, keep going!”

“Take back what’s yours—the tenth place!”

“Xuanyu, rest assured, believe my advice beforehand.”

In Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, many disciples gathered around Zhang Xuanyu, cheering him on.

Zhang Xuanyu’s expression remained indifferent. As a top sect prodigy, he was long accustomed to the encouragement and goodwill around him.

At this moment, he just nodded slightly to his master and close friends before leaping into the Desolate Domain.

“Master, can Xuanyu senior brother do it?”

“No problem, using the Emperor Blood secret technique, his immortal power will allow him to endure for another day!”

“With only two days left, if he holds until the end, and his rank climbs, even if the other party wants to challenge, there won’t be time.”

“I see.”

The people of Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower watched Zhang Xuanyu leave.

However, standing at the edge of the giant sword domain artifact, Lin Qingyue had a hint of worry in her eyes. She constantly watched Li Hao, already knowing that the tenth place by ranking number was Li Hao, feeling happy for him. Yet with this senior brother making his move, and his renowned name echoing within the sect, she couldn’t help but feel concerned for Li Hao.
