FOLLOW THE PATH OF DAO FROM INFANCY

Chapter 834: Chapter 170: The Battle Begins, He Has Arrived!

“Do you think he still remembers us?”

“How could he forget? Mysterious God had exchanged blows with him before and was once an equal rival; it’s impossible for him to forget, right?”

“Exactly, plus, he’s somewhat one of the Ji Family’s own.”

“Hush, don’t speak of that.”

Outside the door, Mysterious God and other talents of the Ji Family whispered among themselves.

They had previously crossed the Immortal Gate, all disciples under Saints of the Primordial Holy Land. Some came to participate in the battle, while others, having not been selected, came to watch.

They arrived early and were now searching around for Li Hao’s residence and movements.

Ever since Li Hao became famous on the All Heavens Battlefield, his whereabouts had been closely monitored by Lark Tower. Many powers had obtained information about Li Hao from there. After all, this information was not intentionally concealed, and it made quite the stir – many knew that Li Hao had been ranked first in the Canglan Realm and was now hiding in the Saint Land of Thievery.

“Oh, you are here too?”

Several figures approached from behind, led by Jiang Ziyan. Seeing Mysterious God and the others waiting outside the courtyard, her eyes flickered slightly.

She had already known that they were quite concerned about the young man whom her father, Emperor Yu, cared about, but she didn’t expect them to arrive to visit him as soon as she had.

“Miss Zi Yan.”

Mysterious God nodded slightly upon spotting her.

She was a saintess of the Primordial Holy Land, with a very high status, but she was too old to participate in the Pride of Heaven Battle this time.

“Saint Heir Mysterious God.”

Jiang Ziyan nodded in return, aware that he was born in the Ancient Holy Clan, with ancestors who are Saints just like her Jiang family.

Inside the Primordial Holy Land, Mysterious God had shown exceptional performance. In a short while after becoming a disciple, he broke through barriers rapidly, and his cultivation soared. In various competitions within the sect, he demonstrated a dazzling edge, quickly becoming a Saint Heir. Now, among many young Saint Heirs, he is one of the top-ranked.

For this Saint Heir with boundless prospects within the sect, she was naturally willing to cultivate a relationship. Also, since both were from the Mortal World and born into the Ancient Holy Clan, they had a good connection with each other.

“Are you well acquainted with him?”

Jiang Ziyan took this opportunity to inquire curiously.

With everyone busy with their own cultivation in the sect each day, opportunities for interaction were not many.

“A rival, and also a friend—at least that’s what I believe,” Mysterious God responded calmly.

Despite being defeated by Li Hao previously, he would never forget that scene. Instead, it had become the motivation for his cultivation. Whenever faced with difficulties and setbacks, that proud and unyielding figure would emerge in his mind.

Hearing Mysterious God’s words, Jiang Ziyan’s eyes flickered slightly, aligning closely with what she had anticipated.

She smiled gracefully, “I heard he offended the Buddhist sect and was previously chased by the Void Saint. I was worried that he might not dare to come.”

“Not dare?”

Hearing her words, Mysterious God allowed a slight smile to appear on his calm face, “There’s nothing in the world that he would not dare to do. Just the fact that he dared to offend a Saint is something that I and others are ashamed not being able to compare to.”

Jiang Ziyan was slightly startled, a hint of doubt flickering in her heart. What was there to admire about offending a Saint? Seeing his reaction, it seemed that whether right or wrong, he held a great admiration, which did not seem like the respect for a rival but rather an adulation.

But could Mysterious God, the popular and proud Saint Heir of the Primordial Holy Land, admire someone?

Jiang Ziyan secretly shook her head, casting aside these thoughts. She was not well acquainted with the young man, hardly having exchanged words. But when she had crossed the Immortal Gate earlier, she had recognized that the young man’s talent was extremely terrifying, a unique prodigy, and thus she also wanted to use this opportunity to strengthen the ties between him and the Jiang family.

After all, since he had left the Mortal World for over a decade and, though he had a connection with her father, the absence of contact over a long time might have weakened their relationship.

With such thoughts in her mind, Jiang Ziyan explained her reasons to the attendant at the door and calmly waited.

Meanwhile, Li Hao inside the courtyard had already gotten up and was about to push open the gate.

“Ji… Haotian!”

When the gate opened, Mysterious God saw the familiar face, his eyes shifting from indifference to serious concentration. A slight tremor pulsed through his heart, feeling an excited rush of blood – the thrill of a long-awaited reunion, mixed with an unexplainable exhilaration.

Jiang Ziyan was also aware of Li Hao’s fame in All Heavens. The news was sensational; any Saint Heir or saintess from the major Holy Lands who wasn’t extremely isolated would generally know about it.

She observed the young man with astonishment. She had thought he perished after stepping through the Immortal Gate, but against all odds, he survived the pursuit of a Saint’s incarnation and stirred up a great commotion in the Land of All Saints, where geniuses gathered.

She couldn’t help but silently applaud – her father’s judgment was indeed much sharper than hers.

“Haotian, do you still remember us?”

Jiang Ziyan spoke with a charming smile. Usually, her demeanor was icy, bearing the dignity and pride of an Imperial Princess, cold and unapproachable. But now, she was as gentle as a mild spring breeze, devoid of any airs.

She hadn’t changed over the ten years, and so she asked this question.

“The Princess has also come.”

Li Hao, seeing Jiang Ziyan, remembered her as Emperor Yu’s daughter and nodded slightly to her.

Seeing Li Hao still addressing her by her Mortal World title, Jiang Ziyan pursed her lips in a smile, “We’ve all heard about your situation, and we all support you!”

Li Hao was taken aback, then smiled in response, “Thank you.”

Mysterious God focused intently on Li Hao, “This time, I will also participate in the Supreme Genius Battle. It’s been ten years since we crossed the Immortal Gate, and I’ve always wanted to spar with you again. Both of us have undergone arduous cultivation in the Land of All Saints, spurring each other on. But now, I’m still not quite at your level. However, if the opportunity arises, I would still like to exchange pointers with you.”

He was straightforward and disliked beating around the bush, openly expressing his thoughts and intentions.
