Star Gate

Li Hao smiled at the shadow demanding out. “I already said that is out of the question. You have to wait! Do you... have any opinions otherwise? I’m not a generous person. Even Allheaven Hall isn’t fully built for everyone, but to perfect my dao!

“I’m simply asking for your opinions. It doesn’t matter whether or not you guys agree. You are likely not able to return to your primary bodies right this moment. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

He wasn’t a saint. Not to mention, he really couldn’t send them out for now.

“There are bound to be people willing to give this a try.” Li Hao regained his calm. “Those who aren’t willing can remain where they are. I’ll send you back when I have a moment! Those who are willing to make the attempt can enter the world relevant to your dao

“If your dao overlaps with another, then two or three people can enter one world. The worlds can host multiple people! There is no need for you to do anything. You simply need to meld your mental strength into the world!”

Many were dissatisfied at the current state of affairs, but Li Hao didn’t care about them. They would change their tune soon enough, when they realized the benefits that came their way. And if he lost, he would be dead. Who cared about them then?

But if he won, all of the mental entities present today would be gifted with enormous gains. This would be a real, tangible harvest in their hands. One sought fortune from the jaws of danger. Exalted emperors wouldn’t hesitate to visit Allheaven Hall when there were actual benefits to be had, even if they came off a bit worse for the wear today.

They didn’t need to be protected like children.

As expected, many among those present were willing to give it a try. Several hundred exalted emperors shot into the air after Li Hao’s words and sped for the countless dao stars.

They would make this gamble!

It was just some mental strength! Although that was also important, it was obvious that they could not return to their primary bodies for the moment. In that case, it was fine if they lost this bit of mental strength. What if Li Hao really did win?

What a windfall that would be!

The rest couldn’t sit still after several hundred streamed into the worlds. To hell with it all! They had no other choice now that things had progressed to this point.

Although some inwardly cursed Li Hao, they also had to admit that their current circumstances were the result of their own curiosity. They were the ones that’d insisted on coming for a look on opening day.

Exalted emperors continuously streamed into the weak worlds. They were incredibly weak dao stars that began to sparkle with new strength as imperial mental strength became part of them.

The effects weren’t noticeable when only one or two exalted emperors assimilated into the worlds. But when hundreds and thousands of them incorporated themselves...

Li Hao registered his change in cultivation with growing surprise!

As he thought, there was strength in numbers. Not only did these exalted emperors incorporate their mental strength into the worlds, but also some of their comprehension of the great dao. Several hundred was likely the equivalent of a seventh rank!

This exceeded the young man’s expectations. It was more astonishing and frightening than he’d anticipated. But it also had to do with the fact that all of these exalted emperors were mental entities. Their attributes weren’t a significant part of their mental strength, making it easy for them to assimilate into the worlds.

Those who couldn’t manage the deed could do so all the same after Number Two took a stroll through the area. How else would one normally collect thousands of imperial mental entities? Li Hao was wreathed in smiles.

Next to him, Myriad Changes’ expression changed again and again. “Fellow Daoist Hao Mon, this...” he transmitted to Li Hao. He was beginning to find the developments rather inappropriate. Was this a wise course of action?

He didn’t know what Li Hao had in mind, but he was very worried... After these moves, would anyone dare visit Allheaven Hall when everything was concluded? Wouldn’t that be the end of their venture?

“Fellow Daoist Myriad Changes worries too much!” Li Hao transmitted back with a smile. “The human heart is greedy! Once they sense the wonders of the great dao and personally participate in a battle between high ranks, they might have breakthroughs of their own once they return home.

“Even if only one out of a thousand advances from third rank to fourth, or from sixth rank to seventh, that will be better advertising than anything we do!”

How hard was it to break through?

And yet, Li Hao felt that there was hope for that to take place after some people’s mental strength returned to their bodies. They would do so with a new understanding of the great dao and progress on their path. That would be quite a normal outcome. By then, Allheaven Hall wouldn’t need to do anything for it to welcome plenty of visitors.

Profit was the truest gospel of all.

No one would be willing to take action for something with no payout. Everyone would fight to accept a task with compensation.

Li Hao put everything out of mind. He focused once more on the sensation of increased strength. Joy filled his heart. Dao strength permeated the river of great dao. It’d stemmed from the star of time to begin with, so it emanated unique energy as well. It gradually gathered into a very faint power of time.

Time... still existed. It just wasn’t obvious at the moment because it’d been dismantled. Li Hao further noted that the daos that formed the star of time were also special. They weren’t regular great daos, but purified great daos.

Relatively speaking, they were much purer than the ones he’d come in contact with thus far.

This might be the key to the War Sovereign constructing the star of time. The daos that he’d used to construct the dao of time were much more orderly.

Li Hao’s smile was even more radiant than before. However, the eighth and seventh ranks behind him wore exceedingly solemn looks on their faces. They weren’t that aware of the situation, so they could only see that the feeble dao stars were utterly inconsequential.

So what if these exceedingly fragile dao stars were incorporated into the mental strength? Could that increase Li Hao’s strength? By how much? At the young man’s level, would that give him one hundred or two hundred more dao rules?

“Those two guys were Reincarnation exalted emperors,” the Thunder Emperor said quickly. “Eighth ranks. Our position has probably been completely exposed. They might be here any second now!”

He took another look around the secret realm. There were several hundred mental entities still milling around the area.

“What do we do with these guys?” transmitted the Thunder Emperor. These were people unwilling to enter Li Hao’s dao stars. Several thousand had gone inside, a few hundred had stayed behind.

“Silence this area first so they don’t self-detonate and start wild rumors when they get back to their primary bodies...” Li Hao waved a hand, dispersing the power of silence.

Several hundred mental entities immediately stilled. Quiet returned to the secret realm.

“They’re... here!” Li Hao suddenly looked in a certain direction and exhaled heavily. There were so many of them!

There were more than the three Reincarnation eighth ranks. They really think highly of me, huh? Or do they think more highly of Long Zhan?

Is this for Long Zhan or for New Martial?

It’s probably not me, in any case. They wouldn’t need so many eighth ranks if it’s for me!

......

In the distance.

A group of people crossed the void. The two eighth ranks behind Reincarnation wore ugly expressions. They’d been immersed in the secret realm when they suddenly found that their mental strength had shattered. Clearly, their bodies of mental strength had been killed.

It was because of this that they lost their sense of direction when Li Hao severed the ripples. But they quickly regained their bearings.

The Reincarnation master halted with a smile. They were here!

Li Hao and his people were here.

The void shook as Li Hao’s group walked out of the secret realm. There was Li Hao, three eighth ranks, and multiple seventh ranks.

The seventh ranks from the alliance looked on with grave expressions. When they saw who they faced... everyone but Myriad Changes paled with horror. What the... hell??

Some with stronger networks of intelligence looked around wildly.

“This is bad!” they transmitted. “It’s... Hornet of the southern region, Earth Spirit of the northern region, and... Peng Cheng...”

Even Myriad Changes’ eyes widened. These were all premier powerhouses, renowned figures of the chaos! Whether it was Hornet or Earth Spirit, they were apex eighth ranks. And they were all here!

Reincarnation was present as well, the former number one heavyweight of the eastern region.

Myriad Changes had thought that Reincarnation would be present, but to think that both north and south would send people. And that wasn’t it!

As six eighth ranks materialized, more eighth rank presences appeared around them. They were from Chaos Sky in the west, with more to come further out!

They were all eighth ranks!

But... some of the eighth ranks following them from the shadows were just here for the show. Others were waiting for some pickings. They were all very far away, but could clearly see what was taking place in the premises.

There were even some seventh ranks hidden in the shadows.

The entire chaos knew that there would be a fight between the two sides. It would only be avoided if Li Hao ran. But since the young man hadn’t fled, a clash was inevitable. Those in the shadows marveled at the sight they saw.

Li Hao was dead meat!

Reincarnation, Peng Cheng, Hornet, and Earth Spirit were all here. Another four eighth ranks made for eight eighth ranks in total. That was more than the number that’d attacked the Human King.

Apart from eighth ranks, almost twenty seventh ranks followed by their sides. A portion came from Reincarnation, a portion from other worlds.

The difference in strength between the two... was massive.

Reincarnation looked at Li Hao from a distance. He and Li Hao were yet to engage in direct conflict. Their two battles had been against Long Zhan and the Human King, respectively.

The young man had benefited each time and even killed Drifting Life!

Reincarnation looked at Li Hao. He was in no hurry. “Silver Moon King... I thought you’d run!” The man smiled.

Li Hao looked at him through the void. He didn’t bear much enmity toward this individual. One had to say that they were victims of their circumstances. He and Reincarnation didn’t share a deep grudge. The young man didn’t care about any of this.

“Running once means running again.” Li Hao’s voice rang out. “Not to mention, the fellow daoist is aware of Allheaven Hall. You know it was constructed to help me comprehend dao. If I run, it’ll be so hard to grasp a myriad daos.

“What I lack compared to everyone else is time! Allheaven Hall can help me save a lot of time. A thousand, ten thousand, or even more! That’s nothing in the chaos, but to me, delaying a day might mean my life.”

“What’s the point of wasting time on him?!” Hornet snarled. “Fellow Daoist Reincarnation, kill them!”

This was a waste of time!
