Chapter 1420  Chapter 339: Ninth Place

“If the Dao Heart is not resolute, having mere talent and potential is inadequate for achieving enduring progress.”

Amidst the puzzled looks exchanged among the disciples of the various Immortal Dynasties, the Immortal Guard Commander said, “The second trial below pertains to the Dao Heart. Only those who possess both Dao Heart and battle prowess are qualified to participate in the final Heavenly Heroes Battle for the peak of the Southern Domain!”

Upon hearing these words, some elders from the sect showed a glad expression, knowing that not only did their disciples seize the Tao Fire, but also held a strong Dao Heart. There was great hope for them to pass this second trial.

The Immortal Guard Commander raised his hand and released a black and gold list, which swelled against the wind.

The edges of the list were entwined with golden dragon shadows, while the center appeared like a flowing ink river.

“This is the Tao Fire Heavenly Heroes List. The first trial ranks based on the number of Tao Fire each of you possess, and the top ten will be awarded an Immortal Soldier.”

Upon hearing the Immortal Guard Commander’s words, the disciples from various Immortal Dynasties gathered outside the secret realm were abuzz with excitement.

“An award? There’s a ranking too?”

“Had I known, I would have hunted more Tao Fire!”

“Senior Brother, you were too kind-hearted, leaving the Tao Fire for others. I didn’t expect there to be an award here!”

“An award? Doesn’t that encourage others to plunder more Tao Fire? That’s unfair!”

Among the crowd, those disciples who had been eliminated felt somewhat disgruntled.

While those who held Tao Fire lamented, feeling that they missed an opportunity for ranking because they would have hunted more Tao Fire had this award been announced earlier, losing both the ranking opportunity and a piece of Immortal Soldier.

The Immortal Soldier awarded by the Heavenly Palace undoubtedly would not be mediocre.

The Immortal Guard Commander’s expression, however, remained icy cold in the face of the many voices discussing the issue, and said indifferently:

“We do not advocate plundering others’ resources or snatching their opportunities, but the reality is cruel like this. Opportunities won’t politely wait for you; they require you to strive, grab, and fight for them!”

“For this first trial, we prepared three thousand Tao Fire, giving three thousand spots, but we know that those who advance will never amount to three thousand people.”

“Resentment? Regret? This first trial is meant to teach you that facing opportunities requires striving at any cost!”

“When you step out of your sect, absorbing countless cultivation resources of yours will make you the pillars of the Human Race. You need to put away those naive thoughts now!”

The cold reprimands echoed throughout the Southern Domain, causing the masses within the various Immortal Dynasties, who were previously indignant, to now fall into silence.

Indeed, although reluctant to admit, they all understand that throughout various levels of the world, from merchants to vendors to the Imperial Family Emperor, it’s all the same.

To gain, one must strive and fight!

“Not saying beforehand does not advocate it, but gives others some chance. Otherwise, some of them might absorb the majority of Tao Fire—this is the Supreme’s mercy!”

The Immortal Guard Commander said coldly, “And now, this award is also a reward for their efforts. Since they hunted for more Tao Fire, they should receive more benefits—this is fairness!”

After these words, those who were initially dissatisfied found themselves speechless.

Many of the wise elders within the various Immortal Dynasties couldn’t help but applaud.

The mercy of the strong lies in silence.

Not favoring the weak, nor pandering to them.

Seeing no response, the Immortal Guard Commander raised his hand, and the Tao Fire held by everyone was drawn towards the black and gold Tao Fire list in succession.

Li Hao watched as the hundreds of Tao Fire above his head flew away, his gaze shifted to Di Lincen on the other side, and he sent a voice message:

“I didn’t expect this matter. The Tao Fire you sent me earlier, I’ll return it to you.”

“No need.”

Di Lincen, hearing Li Hao’s voice, was somewhat surprised and then slightly curved his lips, “It’s merely an Immortal Soldier. I lack nothing, and there’s no point in ranking here. The final battle ranking is the real contest!”

Li Hao, upon hearing this, didn’t push the matter further.

At this moment, as the Tao Fire list absorbed the Tao Fire of the crowd, it gradually revealed streaks of golden light sketching into names.

At the top was the youth of the Ancient God Clan, Shen Wuji.

Following closely was someone named Sword Heart.

Li Hao’s gaze swept through and saw his name ranked ninth.

He hadn’t expected that the Tao Fire he casually collected would earn him an Immortal Soldier as an unexpected gain.

However, he already possessed the Taowu Immortal Soldier. If the awarded Immortal Soldier had special effects, it would be useful. If it’s just a weapon, it holds little value and could only be gifted.

“Haotian, about this Tao Fire…”

Several disciples from the Great Dream Nine Abysses looked towards Li Hao with eyes filled with embarrassment.

Their Tao Fire was given by Li Hao, and now he realizes the value of the Tao Fire quantity, leaving them in a dilemma.

“It’s fine, I don’t need yours. It’s just luck.”

Li Hao chuckled lightly, indicating they need not worry.

Seeing Li Hao’s composure, admiration filled the others’ eyes. Initially, if Li Hao convinced them only by his talent and prowess, now he instilled a genuine reverence. This magnanimous nature surpasses countless people.

Li Hao’s eyes swept over, seeing Di Lincen’s name ranked at the last.

He couldn’t help but shake his head. The Tao Fire list lacked substance, yet it would leave a lasting impression on the countless citizens within the various Immortal Dynasties.

At this moment, the Immortal Guard Commander took out another Tao Fire list, absorbing the Tao Fire of those in the Immortal Monarch Realm group.

“Those among you who didn’t obtain Tao Fire will also be eliminated!”

The Immortal Guard Commander coldly addressed those few in the Immortal Monarch Realm group without Tao Fire.

Their expressions changed upon hearing those words, displaying anger and astonishment.

One of them said, “But we are already in the Immortal Monarch Realm. Eliminated? No qualification even for the final battle?!”
