Chapter 1306: Chapter 293: Twelve Desolate Regions

“The benefits, what benefits?”

Li Hao asked.

“Not sure for now, but once the Ancient Immortal Realm selection is over, His Majesty will come to bestow them upon you. The top ten will certainly receive special rewards, especially the top three.”

Li Tie Mu said.

Li Hao thought for a moment and found it reasonable.

“Then I’ll give it a try.”

The opportunity was right in front of him. Although Li Hao was not competitive by nature, it would be somewhat aloof not to seize what could be attained.

“But don’t push yourself too hard. After all, this isn’t a Southern Domain battle. It’s better not to easily use some of the ultimate cards.”

Li Tie Mu advised, concerned that Li Hao might use some extremely harmful powers for the sake of rankings.

“Understood.”

Li Hao nodded, having no intention of giving his all. If he succeeded, great, if not, so be it.

He waved his hand, greeted Gu Yan and others, and then flew straight towards the Desolate Domain.

“Three years have passed, he’s advanced from the True Immortal Realm Third Level to the Ninth Level. His immortal power has increased dozens of times; he should at least make it to the top twenty,” Murong Qingwu muttered in a low voice, looking at Li Hao’s figure.

“Top twenty?”

Beside her, the old woman, Zhou Qingyun, and the Sword Abyss disciples around them were all stupefied, their eyes wide open.

Lin Mingrong, who had learned from the Dream Lord that Li Hao made it into the top hundred, didn’t know his exact ranking. Hearing Murong Qingwu’s words, a trace of astonishment flashed across her face, as indifferent as smoke and dust.

“Old Li, what rank is your disciple now?”

Zhou Qingyun couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Li Tie Mu knew that there was no need to hide it any longer.

Previously, he hid it for fear that the news would leak, leading to assassinations from other sects targeting him.

With the selection about to end and all sects soon knowing, there was no need to hide it.

“His identity number is 996.”

Li Tie Mu said with pursed lips.

Hearing this, the people of Sword Abyss quickly looked at the immortal tablet.

Lin Mingrong’s gaze swiftly scanned the top hundred, and when the range narrowed, her divine sense immediately locked onto a position, and her pupils shrank involuntarily.

“Rank 25?!”

Her red lips parted slightly in a loss of composure.

The others also reacted, their eyes fixed as they couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Rank 25? H-how is that possible!”

“I heard that the top thirty are all in the Immortal Monarch Realm. That boy is…”

“I remember this number. Three years ago, it was at rank 19, he…”

Everyone was shocked, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Hearing their shocked murmurs, Gu Yan and others remained silent. Their realm was similar to Li Hao’s, but the disparity in rank was vast. Especially three years ago, there was an even wider gap; rank 19 against outside the two thousand, utterly dismal.

The exclamations drew attention from the elders of other abysses nearby, who communicated via sound transmission to inquire.

Li Tie Mu smiled, without hiding, and revealed Li Hao’s situation.

As the news spread, the onlookers from the other eight abysses turned their attention over in unison, faces full of astonishment.

Among the Gun Abyss disciples, a young man stood next to the three elders, dressed in black garments, exuding an air of authority. He stood like a golden spear, his eyes proud and cold, surrounded by respectful disciples keeping their distance.

“What?”

The face of the elder from the Gun Abyss changed drastically, unable to contain his surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

The other two elders glanced over, their expressions changing slightly.

The elder looked up, staring at the dark immortal tablet for a while, slowly saying:

“Elder Gang Li said, they have a disciple in Sword Abyss with the identity number 996, ranked at…25!”

“Huh?”

“How is that possible!”

The two Gun Abyss elders were stunned and quickly looked at the immortal tablet. Upon seeing the rank 25 number, they were taken aback.

Such matters couldn’t be faked, especially when the selection was about to end, and identities would be revealed. If it were bragging, it would be ridiculed for millennia.

“Rank 25?”

Beside them, the young man gazing indifferently at the Desolate Domain found his icy eyes focusing suddenly, his heart seeming to tremble. He stared at the immortal tablet.

Three years ago, he had barely made it into the top thousand. Without the Dream Lord’s guidance in the Langya Painting Realm these past three years to fortuitously break into the Immortal Monarch Realm, it would be extremely difficult for him to barely make the top hundred now.

“That number…”

Su Ye Chen stared at the rank, his eyes slightly changing. If he remembered correctly, three years ago, that number seemed to be at rank 19!

After the initial challenge ended three years ago, he had a notable impression of the non-Imperial Family numbers within the top hundred.

He had thought it belonged to a top star of another Heavenly Sect, but didn’t expect it to be a monster from within his own sect.

“Rank 25? Does Sword Abyss really have a disciple reaching such heights?”

“Also in the Immortal Monarch Realm? Why have I never heard of it?”

“Whose number is that?”

“I remember that number, it was already at rank 19 three years ago!”

“Besides Senior Brother Ye Chen, our sect actually has such a True Dragon, too strong!”

The news spread, and disciples from various abysses were utterly shocked, their eyes fixed on that rank 25 number.

Hearing the discussions from the entire sect’s disciples, Li Tie Mu’s mouth almost reached his ears in a grin, but he struggled to control himself, unable to hide his smirk.

Seeing his face full of proud smiles, Zhou Qingyun and the old woman couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

“Good old Li, hiding such a thing from us.”

“Don’t even trust us, do you? You guy, owe me a jug of wine later!”

“Friendship over, friendship over!”

Although their faces showed anger, laughter clouded their eyes because having such a monster within their Sword Abyss was a great joy for the entire sect.

Li Tie Mu chuckled and said, “Isn’t it all for the greater good?”

“Get lost.”

Zhou Qingyun rolled his eyes, while the disciples around him had mixed expressions.
