Star Gate

More than one exalted emperor began disappearing from the crowd. They left through the passageways and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The dao chess saw their movement, but didn’t say anything. The chaos might shake for a while longer after news of what’d just been announced traveled out.

Dao rules!

Li Hao was willing to share dao rules, but with a caveat of a premier heavyweight coming and making it past eight thousand dao squares. There weren’t that many existences like that in the chaos.

Reincarnation had been one of them. Arctic Frost was a little worse off.

This meant to say that at the end of the day, only a few in the chaos could make it to that level. There might be ten at most, and all of them were regional overlords.

It would be a tremendous feat for Li Hao if they were willing to walk the dao chess and share their dao. It would also be a pivotal step to perfecting his own dao!

Although there were many exalted emperors at present, they were too weak. They grasped a certain understanding of the great dao, but not deeply enough. Only in attracting the premier existences did the young man have a chance of swiftly perfecting his path of a myriad daos!

While he wouldn’t be able to suddenly rocket to ninth rank, he would at least pave that road smoothly.

......

In the eastern region.

Exalted emperors of various worlds walked out of the secret realm and began spreading the word through a variety of different means.

......

The south, Spring Autumn Palace.

They said that time passed swiftly for Spring Autumn, but there was only a little girl within the palace at the moment. Her ears twitched, like she’d received a report.

“Eight thousand squares to share time and jointly explore dao rules?” she murmured. A smile appeared on her face. “Dao rules...”

Anyone at their level understood that order was a key to entering ninth rank. But how many within the chaos had grasped the dao rules?

Clearly, this news was not meant for weaklings. It was even targeting the overlords. Are you guys willing to come share your dao? Your primary body can avoid the risk!

At their level, it wasn’t too hard to send a replica for the purposes of exchanging dao.

Are you willing?

If you come, I’ll meet you in turn and share time with you guys!

Was that possible?

Time was the most powerful out of all the daos.

“Li Hao!” The sweetly innocent girl smiled pleasantly. Li Hao, the cultivator of time, was truly something! He was sending a message to the overlords!

Do you guys want to know the mysteries of time? Then come here to discuss dao! I’ll share my dao if you share yours.

Spring Autumn could no longer contain herself. Everyone thought that her dao was that of time. Only she herself knew that that was a false impression.

It was not time! Who said that the untraceable nature of her dao was time?

There were similarities, but also immense differences.

A little girl that was an exact copy walked out of Spring Autumn. She seemed to be the real being as she strode past a dao universe with one step. Since you’ve taken the liberty of inviting us, Li Hao, then I shall go for a look!

......

The west.

Chaos Sky blinked. Time, dao rules, a sharing of dao!

“Allheaven Hall... and the exchange of time... Li Hao really is going all out!” He suddenly felt that he might have underestimated the young man. Li Hao wanted to exchange dao rules with other heavyweights!

“I’d like to answer Li Hao’s invitation.” Chaos Sky turned to the shadow next to him. “I will split off a replica or two and head to the east. This will be a good opportunity to probe the situation over there!”

“Whatever the master decides.”

Chaos Sky inclined his head and summoned a shadow from his body that sped for the eastern region.

......

All sides trembled. Even Long Zhan frowned in the four regions. He looked at Skyward major world in front of him with a sigh.

“Li Hao sure is bold and crazy. This move of his might lure over some incredible existences! That’s fine. I’m curious about his dao too... so I’ll pay a visit as well!”

The eighth ranks by the dragon were confused, but Red Moon ground his teeth. “Dragon master, I...”

“Does the fellow daoist wish to go as well?”

Red Moon nodded hopefully. He wanted to take a look, but not with his primary body. That was too dangerous. Li Hao would beat him to death on sight.

But he did want to look around and listen to the exchange of dao, even if he didn’t have a chance to learn more about time.

Eight thousand squares!

He’d never walked the dao chess, but knew that he probably didn’t have the ability to reach eight thousand squares. That was too difficult. It would just be nice to see the dao chess and experience more of Skyward’s dao.

“You can go if you wish!” nodded Long Zhan. “And not just you, but everyone else, including the chaos race, may go. Find an entrance and take it over before entering! The dao chess will be very useful in helping us understand the Skyward dao universe.

“Li Hao’s really something to dare to make it available to everyone at a time like this...”

Skyward might be returning soon!

Whether Li Hao was using the dao chess as an advertising method or something else, it was exceedingly disadvantageous for Skyward major world that their world master’s treasure was widely available at a time like this.

Although the Skyward master had once done something similar, he’d only done so in a limited sense. He posed very troublesome requirements to enter the dao chess. Candidates needed to pass through some of the tests of Demon Summit first.

That filtered out most would-be hopefuls, making it so that only premier exalted emperors stood a chance. Those were the types of people that the Skyward master wished to talk to. He didn’t want to converse with all exalted emperors in the chaos.

“Father... what... are dao rules?” Feng Yan asked solemnly.

“You don’t know them, but you must come to an understanding of them!” Long Zhan responded after some thought. “The current chaos is unordered. Well, it’s also relatively ordered, but there is no absolute order!

“Cultivators at our level who wish to take one step further must understand the difference between order and disorder. Dao with order... might be the dao rules that Li Hao speaks of!

“This is a necessary step on the path of ninth rank!” explained Long Zhan. “Most people don’t understand it, but that starts to change at seventh rank. However, it is harder for the chaos race to understand it due to our disorderly nature!

“It is very tough for us to grasp what dao rules are, so you guys don’t get it even as eighth ranks,” sighed the dragon with some regret.

He quickly recovered his composure. This is why I wish to change our destiny. We are the natives and children of the chaos, so why... are we thus?

Why are humans so favored? Is it because we have never produced a ninth rank?

Then I shall be the vanguard of the chaos race!

I will organize our dao and make it so that our cultivators can understand what dao rules are!

As things stand in the chaos with the large number of seventh ranks, human exalted emperors can more or less understand dao rules when they hear of them. But when it comes to my side, none of my eighth ranks understand anything.

......

As Li Hao’s actions gave rise to new furor in the chaos, all powerhouses in existence were immensely tempted. Most important was that there was no need for their primary bodies to make this trip. At their level of strength, who couldn’t spare a replica or two?

They would find an entrance and conceal their identity. It didn’t matter if they even lost their replica. This curiosity needed to be assuaged!

In fact, some of the powerhouses of the other three regions started to feel that they should establish an entrance in their territory as well. They’d been heavily against the idea at first, but now it seemed much more appealing.

The dao chess, time, space, dao ranking...

All of this was the equivalent of a bomb thrown into the chaos, one that shocked all of the heavyweights awake.

The universe was too quiet, boring, and dull. There was only war, devouring others, and fighting for domination...

Even ninth ranks were hard pressed to change the current state of the chaos.

But with the establishment of Allheaven Hall and the appearance of time, the chaos grew lively after an invitation was extended to everyone. The eastern region had just fallen quiet, but was now the center of activity.

......

“He really...” The supreme couldn’t help but mutter. The kid really knew how to stir things up!

They’d just pitied him for being so lonely, but now? New Martial hadn’t even finished cleaning up the east yet. The kid wanted to share time and space with everyone!

Space and time were the greatest daos in the chaos... This would result in a large number of eighth ranks and even overlords visiting. Wasn’t that creating new trouble for New Martial?

“This is grand! So fun!” chuckled the Human King. “How exciting! It’s better to kick things up a notch. Ole Zhang, how about you and I hide our names and go for a spin inside? All of the heroes in existence will discuss dao at Allheaven Hall!

“They say that I don’t know the great dao and only know how to fight. I’d like to show them that only people like us have the ability to walk eight thousand squares!”

Light was also tempted. My son is still over there! He’s very close by, but I haven’t had time to. visit him. Apparently he received a share of the spoils this time too. Does he have a chance of entering eighth rank?

That would be incredible if he does!

He was also very interested in these great daos. No powerhouse would be unmoved. Not to mention, the Human King and the rest of New Martial loved a lively location.

Allheaven Hall! Li Hao!

Who would’ve thought that the young man would soar to the heavens after exiting the four regions?

Even the seventh ranks and those weaker wanted to go. “It’d be nice to take a look. We want to give the dao chess a try too. Let’s see how deep our comprehension of the great dao runs! Apparently ninety percent of seventh ranks can’t even make it to seven thousand squares...”

“Not even that! Some can’t do six thousand!”

“What an interesting treasure to judge dao comprehension and not strength...”

“That thing’s good only for reference,” laughed the Human King. “True fights are not won on the back of strength! But it’s also a nice direct measurement for theorists like Li Hao. We can easily tell whose command of dao is stronger. But real strength will have to be assessed in a fight!

“Li Hao likes to approach dao through theory and practical application, he’s not just all talk. Don’t be fooled by his preferences and only focus on studying dao. If you grasp nine thousand dao rules, but have the strength of a third rank, you’ll die to a fourth rank all the same!

“They say that the War Sovereign knew at least nine thousand, but he was only a sixth rank. He could handle seventh ranks, but had to bend the knee to eighth ranks. Does everyone get it?” The Human King concluded with more seriousness than teasing.
