Chapter 1138: Chapter 237: Challenge True Venerate Tower

Li Hao finished his demonstration, then retracted the Earth Luo Shield technique, and his Primordial Spirit returned to his body.

Opposite the chessboard on the wooden stump, Elder Wang looked at Li Hao with a somewhat dazed expression. In the three years since Li Hao arrived, he had never practiced cultivation, yet his first attempt reached the level of Original True Intent?

Could it be that he’s secretly deducing and comprehending in the Divine World? But Li Hao always accompanied him in playing chess, and in his spare time, he learned immortal elixir cultivation. How could he have the mind to comprehend the Yama Immortal Skill?

“…”

Elder Wang was somewhat silent, as Li Hao’s performance was beyond his expectations.

Meanwhile, at the far-off cushion, someone noticed the powerful Primordial Spirit fluctuation in front of the house, opened their eyes, and upon seeing the Yama Manifestation Li Hao displayed, was taken aback.

He didn’t choose the path of Primordial Spirit cultivation, therefore he hadn’t practiced the Yama Battle Skill, but previously someone chose to cultivate the Yama Battle Skill and didn’t succeed.

Yet, at this moment, the new young man seemed to have mastered it!

Could it be that Elder Wang really gave him special attention?

“Does this count as passing?”

In front of the house, Li Hao asked Elder Wang.

Elder Wang came back to his senses, showing a peculiar expression, “How did you comprehend this? You couldn’t possibly have obtained this skill elsewhere, unless you’ve been multi-tasking while playing chess with this old fellow, secretly comprehending the Yama Immortal Skill?”

Li Hao grinned and replied, “Otherwise, how could I always lose to the elder?”

“You brat.”

Elder Wang immediately glared at him in mock irritation, not believing Li Hao’s words. Li Hao’s unwavering concentration when playing chess couldn’t allow for him to be distracted by other thoughts, there’s only one possibility, that Li Hao used the minimal amount of spare time to comprehend the skill and managed to cultivate it.

He thought of what Li Hao had said before.

Once you reach the pinnacle, you’re free in the heavens.

This troublesome brat… Elder Wang muttered in his heart, this young man really played it off well.

“Since you’ve cultivated the first level of the skill, desolation, to the Original True Intent level, you indeed have passed, you may go challenge the True Venerate Tower, a place that truly tests your quick wit.”

As Elder Wang spoke, he gathered the chess pieces in his hand, his gaze containing a hint of emotion as he looked at Li Hao.

This kid is too uncanny, having only been here for a mere three years, not even rigorously cultivating, yet he’s easily overcome the first trial, which others spent thousands, even tens of thousands of years on.

This only shows that Li Hao’s underlying foundation far surpasses others, and thus he has the potential for sudden enlightenment.

Besides, this kid can even win against him in chess, absurd!

“Then I’ll give it a try.”

Li Hao responded.

Based on his prior speculation, maybe he could easily pass the second trial.

Elder Wang, hearing this, didn’t stop him, instead smiling and shaking his head, “If you challenge now, others might become agitated, but it’s good, it could push them to improve as well.”

Seeing the mischievous smile on his lips, Li Hao was speechless; this was the same expression Elder Wang wore whenever he outmaneuvered him in chess.

“I’ll return and continue accompanying you after the challenge.”

Li Hao stated, then he rose and flew towards the distant, black True Venerate Tower.

Having sensed Li Hao’s aura earlier, the Saint looked as Li Hao flew towards the True Venerate Tower and was stunned, then suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood up abruptly, saying:

“He’s going to challenge the True Venerate Tower?!”

With this sharp outcry, several others also opened their eyes, looked over in confusion, then upon seeing Li Hao flying towards the True Venerate Tower, were stunned.

“What is he doing?”

“Challenging the True Venerate Tower? No way, don’t joke.”

“Exactly, he’s only been here for so long, perhaps he’s just going to observe and take a look, probably inspired by Lin Saint.”

A few Saints came to their senses, looking wordlessly at the person who had exclaimed, finding his reaction exaggerated. Challenging the True Venerate Tower after only three years? Three hundred years would be an overstatement!

In their conversation, Li Hao had already arrived in front of the True Venerate Tower.

He looked up; from afar it appeared as a small tower, but upon closer inspection, the tower was imposing, the layers towering, exuding a sense of solemn majesty, permeated with the overwhelming pressure of the Tao.

Li Hao’s gaze flickered slightly, then he followed the example of previous challengers like Mu Saint, reaching the bottom of the tower entrance.

As he approached, the tower door seemed to sense his presence, slowly opened, the interior dark.

Li Hao slowly walked in.

In the distance, several Saints seeing Li Hao actually entering the True Venerate Tower were all stunned, their expressions quickly turning to astonishment.

Soon, they thought of something, and someone turned to look at Elder Wang.

Entering the True Venerate Tower rashly without passing the first trial, Elder Wang would surely punish him.

But in front of the house, Elder Wang just leisurely arranged the remaining chess pieces on the board, stowing them away in Li Hao’s Chess Box.

“Elder Wang, that newcomer entered the True Venerate Tower!”

A Saint couldn’t help but remind.

Elder Wang slowly finished arranging the pieces, covered the Chess Box, then raised his head to look, seeing the tower door was already closed, his mouth showed a slight smile, then he gracefully rose and flew toward the cushioned area.

“Elder Wang, he…”

Someone wanted to voice a complaint, but suddenly noticed Elder Wang’s calm and smiling demeanor, found it surprising, then looked somewhat incredulously at Elder Wang; could it be that the shortcut the boy took really worked?

Is that really permissible?

As Elder Wang arrived, others on the cushions detected his aura, quickly becoming aware, looking on in confusion.

“He has already passed the first trial and can challenge the True Venerate Tower.”

Elder Wang said with a smile.

Although they had already guessed from his expression, they carried bewilderment, but hearing Elder Wang’s confirmation, the previous few Saints felt as if their jaws were dropping in disbelief, wondering if their ears were deceiving them.
