The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 432 The Third Test, the Road to the True Fairyland
"Haotian, I heard from Master Wang that you have passed the first test?"

As soon as Li Hao arrived, a saint asked him questions.

Li Hao looked at the person who asked the question. Although the other person's eyes were sincere, there was a hint of doubt in them.

"Ah."

Li Hao nodded slightly and didn't care much.

"Haotian, how did you last so long when you challenged the Zhenzun Tower for the first time?"

Another saint asked curiously, with a hint of admiration for Li Hao in his eyes. Although there were jealous people present, there were also people who saw Li Hao's potential and wanted to take the opportunity to make friends with him.

Hua Sheng and You Sheng were also staring at Li Hao in the crowd without asking any questions. They believed that Li Hao did not take any shortcuts. After all, anyone who could join the Synchronized Swimming Club couldn't be a bad person. Besides, Mr. Wang was such a big shot that there was no need for him to deceive them.

"Run away, keep running away."

Li Hao responded to the man: "The projection inside is indeed very powerful. It is impossible to fight head-on."

Hearing Li Hao's words, Lin Sheng, Ming Sheng and Mu Sheng's eyes flickered. They all had a deep understanding of the power of the projection.

But escaping... you can't just escape if you want to.

"Even if you want to escape, it will be difficult. After all, every aspect of the projection inside can crush you. Could it be that you have suddenly realized something in there?"

The man who had previously asked Li Hao if he had passed the test showed a puzzled look.

Li Hao smiled slightly and did not respond.

After all, this test itself is secretive and involves one's own methods and trump cards, so the other party's question is already a bit offensive.

"There shouldn't be any special skills in challenging the Zhenzun Tower. Haotian must have had some sudden realization that prevented the projection from being projected, so he could persist for so long, right?" Mingsheng suddenly spoke. His voice was calm, but his eyes were looking at Wang Lao.

Obviously, he had doubts about Master Wang's prestige. If it wasn't a sudden enlightenment, then it must be the trick taught by Master Wang. Otherwise, he would never believe that anyone could last so long under that terrifying projection in the first challenge.

Escape? The projection is even faster!

Wang Lao felt Ming Sheng's gaze, how could he not see what this little guy was thinking? He smiled lightly and said to Li Hao:

"You kid, you hid it well enough. I underestimated you before."

Li Hao scratched his head, not knowing what he was referring to.

"You also have to work hard and practice well. Haotian, come with me."

Wang Lao looked around at everyone and said to Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded.

When everyone saw how Mr. Wang favored Li Hao, they all had complicated looks.

Mingsheng, Musheng and Linsheng looked at each other and all felt a strong sense of crisis from Li Hao, especially Linsheng. He had just passed the first test not long ago, and now he had not lasted as long as Li Hao to challenge the Zhenzun Tower, not even half an incense stick. As for how to defeat the projection, he had no idea at all.

He was about to catch up with the main force and close the distance with Mu Sheng and Ming Sheng, but was crushed and overtaken by Li Hao. His years of practice and newly ignited ambition were washed away like a cold shower.

Everyone was whispering, discussing Li Hao's challenge to the Zhenzun Tower, and guessing who would be the first to reach the third step and take down the Immortal Emperor's lineage.

Mingsheng, Linsheng and the other two looked at each other, but did not continue to practice in seclusion. Instead, as if they had reached a tacit understanding, they stood up at the same time and flew towards Wang Lao's house.

Old General Wang brought Li Hao back and casually set up a silent barrier around him. He was just about to tell Li Hao about the third test of the immortal method of cultivation, and the way to ascend to the true immortal realm, including the various differences between the true immortal realms. The two had just sat down in front of the wooden stake, and before Old General Wang could speak, they heard three sounds of breaking through the air flying over.

"Look old."

When the three men saw Wang Lao frowning, they smiled awkwardly, but felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. They had been here for a very long time and had been very attentive to Wang Lao, but now he was fickle.

Although they were unhappy in their hearts, they did not show it on their faces; instead, they were all smiling.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Lao asked.

Ming Sheng bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Master Wang, we are here to learn from you and listen to your teachings."

Wang Lao shook his head slightly in his heart, and directly pointed out their thoughts, saying: "Do you think that Haotian was able to persist in the Zhenzun Tower for so long because of my guidance? Well, considering your hard work and obedience over the years, I will use Haotian to teach you your first lesson."

"Ok?"

The three of them were told what they were thinking by Master Wang. Although they showed a trace of embarrassment on their faces, they did not take it seriously in their hearts. After all, they were not the only ones who thought so, other people would also think so, and what's more, this was very likely to be the fact.

Hearing that Master Wang was going to give them a lesson, the three of them showed expectant expressions and glanced at Li Hao at the same time. Was he planning to pass on that skill to them as well?

"This first lesson..."

Wang Lao looked calm and paused before saying, "You just have to learn to acknowledge the excellence of others."

Three people: "..."

Elder Wang ignored the three people's slightly frozen smiles and said indifferently: "When you go to the real world in the future, if it is still as prosperous as before, you will see more monsters. They are born in high-class families and have deep backgrounds. Some of them have been bathing in immortal medicine since childhood and eating Dao fruits as snacks. If you practice the same skills, they will be hundreds or thousands of times faster than you!"

"There are also those who have no background, but are smart, have extraordinary talents, and are smart. They can also rise from obscurity, compete with the geniuses of the big forces, and make a name for themselves."

"When the time comes, will you also compare yourself with others, feel jealous, and get angry?"

The three men's expressions changed. Their thoughts were completely seen through, including the anger and jealousy in their hearts, which made them afraid to look directly into Wang Lao's eyes.

"Haotian's talent far exceeds yours. I didn't teach him anything about tests, but he played chess with me for three years, and he only used his spare time to secretly study on his own, and he cultivated the Yama Immortal Method to the level of the origin of the true meaning. This can only mean that his past foundation is beyond yours!"

Mingsheng, Musheng and Linsheng looked at Li Hao with some suspicion in their eyes.

After all, the aura of calamity energy exuded by Li Hao is only at the level of a Second Disaster Saint, while the three of them have already become supreme saints!
"Instead of having these blind thoughts, why don't you work harder? Your aptitude in the real world is only average, while Haotian is also a genius in the real world!"

Wang Lao said bluntly.

Hearing his words, the three people's faces changed and looked a little ugly.

They had previously heard Master Wang recall many things about the real world, and they knew that Master Wang was right, as he had long said that their aptitude was only average.

However, the talent of this young man beside him can be considered a genius in the real world with countless monsters?

Three years, is it really possible that he has to rely on himself?
"Go ahead, don't waste time here. I want to teach Haotian the immortal method for the third test, the path to advancement to the true immortal realm."

Wang Lao waved his hand and drove him away.

The three people, who were originally in a worried mood, were stunned when they heard this. Then they opened their eyes wide and stared at Wang Lao blankly.

"Mr. Wang, you are too biased, aren't you?" Mingsheng couldn't help but say.

He once helped Wang Lao to massage his legs and shoulders, and spent hundreds of years serving him. The other party told him again and again that he could not help with hints and hints about the tests, but he was still enthusiastic and wanted to show his true heart.

In the end, he did let Wang Lao see his sincerity, but still did not get any help. Instead, he was planned to teach him the method of cultivating elixirs. However, with the Immortal Emperor's orthodoxy before him, he had no mind to think about cultivating elixirs, so he declined on the spot.

Mu Sheng and Lin Sheng also stared at Wang Lao. Although they didn't say anything, their expressions were the same as Ming Sheng's.

Wang Lao saw the three people's anxious looks, but he was very calm and said:

"What kind of partiality is this? Haotian has already passed the second test and the first level of the Zhenzun Tower. When you can pass it, I will also teach you the immortal method for the third test, but it is too early for you now."

These words came like a bolt from the blue. The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then their brains exploded with a roar, and they went blank.

After a long while, the three of them came to their senses. They looked at Wang Lao in surprise, and then looked at Li Hao.

"He, he passed the test of Zhenzun Tower? The first level? Is there a second level?" Mu Sheng couldn't help but say, his expression somewhat out of control.

When Li Hao heard what Wang Lao said, he thought to himself that it was indeed true. The previous eye contact in the tower was not an illusion. Others seemed unable to see his situation in the tower, but Wang Lao could.

But, this Zhenzun Tower actually has two floors?

"The Zhenzun Tower has three floors, corresponding to the tests for registered disciples, formal disciples, and the personal disciples of the Immortal Emperor!"

"Of course, besides the test in the Zhenzun Tower, there are other tests for direct disciples, and you don't need to know that."

Wang Lao said calmly: "In the first level of the Zhenzun Tower challenge, your projection is only twice your strength. In the second level, it is five times! In the third level, it is ten times!"

"ten times……"

Not only were the three of them stunned, Li Hao also widened his eyes slightly.

So, he went to the second floor before?
No wonder he felt that the projection's aura was much stronger than his own, at least four or five times stronger.

Then he was killed instantly.

As a result, there is a third layer behind it, and it is ten times?!

Li Hao couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if his strength increased tenfold. He felt that he could kill anyone in the True Fairyland.

The second-level projection he encountered earlier seemed to have this much combat power. If it was ten times as powerful...

"For the Immortal Emperor's direct disciple, passing the third level test is only the simplest part of the many tests."

Wang Lao said coldly: "Since this test exists, you should know that there will naturally be people who can pass it. You should also understand that there is always a higher heaven, but you just haven't encountered it. Now, Haotian should be regarded as the first heaven you have come into contact with!"

Hearing his words, the three of them looked at Li Hao with complicated expressions.

Is the young man in front of me really that scary?
"Go."

Wang Lao said no more and waved his hand to urge them on: "I didn't tell you about Haotian's passing before because I was afraid it would be a blow to you."

Although he wanted to use Li Hao to stimulate them to practice hard, he also knew that Li Hao was too evil for them. Excessive stimulation would only backfire and make them despair and lose the motivation to practice.

The three of them felt a tightness in their chest, but they still bowed to Mr. Wang and said goodbye, then turned around and left, but they were a little dazed.

After they left, the coldness on Wang Lao's face faded. He looked at Li Hao, rolled his eyes at him unhappily, and said:
"If I had known you were so smart, I wouldn't have delayed you these past few years. In the days ahead, you must practice hard. You were able to pass the True Venerable Tower on your first try. Although I don't know if it was due to a sudden enlightenment breakthrough, you now have a glimmer of hope to become the official disciple of the Immortal Emperor."

"Don't miss this opportunity, seize it and practice well."

Li Hao was speechless. He was most afraid of others urging him to practice.

After all, he has tried very hard...

"Well, Mr. Wang, these two things will not affect each other." Li Hao tried to persuade.

When Mr. Wang heard this, he suddenly felt very angry. These words were clearly telling him that he still wanted to play!
"You, you, you, what can I say about you? You are a formal disciple of the Immortal Emperor. Do you know what it means if you pass the test?"

"Does it mean becoming a formal disciple?"

"..."

Wang Lao's eyes were about to roll out of the sky. He felt like he was talking to a cow and it was ridiculous.

Since the Immortal Emperor's lineage has been revealed, does it still need others to supervise it?

Isn’t that something everyone is vying for?
"I gave them the challenge to become registered disciples before because I knew that the inheritance of the immortal gods outside was broken, and the number of registered disciples that could be born among them was already the limit. The war that year was too tragic. Lord Immortal Emperor originally wanted to give part of the Taoism to the registered disciples first. If the registered disciples' subsequent performance gets better and better, they are expected to become real disciples, and then they can unlock more benefits of the Taoism."

Elder Wang said to Li Hao: "If you can become a formal disciple, it means you will get the cultivation resources that will lead you directly to the Immortal Lord realm. If you take a step further and work harder, you may even become an Immortal King!"

"That's in the real world. They are the overlords of their own region, second only to the Immortal Emperor. Wherever they travel, people from all directions come to pay homage to them. How magnificent!"

Li Hao was a little surprised and asked, "So generous?"

"What else? This is still because of the battle back then. Many things were lost, and there are not many resources. If the Immortal Emperor was still alive during the most prosperous period of the True Realm, becoming the Immortal Emperor's official disciple would mean becoming a future Immortal King!"

Wang Lao said unhappily.

Li Hao nodded, feeling a little excited, and said, "Then I'll try my best."

However, thinking of the horror of the second-level projection, he felt a little nervous.

But fortunately, his extraordinary chess mind has not yet been embedded. If it were embedded in the way of body movement, he might have a 20% chance.

That's right, it's only 20%. After all, the projection is much stronger than himself in all aspects, from quantitative change to qualitative change. Even if his body movement is at the tenth level, it may only be slightly higher than five times the projection, which cannot make up for other gaps.

Seeing Li Hao say this, Wang Lao finally felt relieved, and immediately said: "Since you have such a little hope, you must seize it. I will also challenge you as a formal disciple. Passing the first test within three years is indeed in line with the speed of a formal disciple, and there is still room for improvement."

He said, and then continued: "Next, you have to try to pass the second floor of the Zhenzun Tower, and forget about the third floor."

"Now, I will teach you the method to ascend to the realm of true immortals."

Wang Lao's expression became serious: "The Saint level is just to condense one's own Saint Way from the Great Dao. When this Saint Way is cultivated to the extreme, one can faintly sense a trace of God's will. This is the Supreme Saint, which is the Saint level Great Perfection!"

"But if you want to become an immortal, you must make your own holy way recognized by heaven and earth, and that means proving your way to heaven!"

"To prove the truth to the heavens, one must comprehend the true meaning of the origin of the holy way!"

"That is the realm of the first test. In other words, those who have passed the first test before are qualified to be promoted to the realm of true immortals!"

As Wang Lao said this, he glanced at the three people who had returned to the futon.

In tens of thousands of years here, only three people have been born who have cultivated to the level of being qualified to advance to the realm of true immortals.

"But this is just an ordinary real wonderland."

Elder Wang said, “I told you before that the third test is to condense the Three Seals Immortal Seal, also commonly known as the Three Flower Immortal Seal!”

"Mastering the true meaning of the origin can condense a flower seal. The three flower seals are three paths. You need to comprehend the true meaning of the origin of the great way!"

"And to be a formal disciple, you need the Nine Flower Immortal Seal!"

"Also, the soul's life span must be within ten thousand years."

He stared at Li Hao. When Li Hao first arrived, he saw that Li Hao's soul lifespan was no more than a hundred years. Being able to cultivate to such a level, based on his past experience, the young man in front of him had a chance to become a formal disciple.

"Nine Flower Immortal Seal?"

Li Hao was slightly startled and said, "So that means he has condensed nine kinds of true meanings?"

"Yes."

"What about the direct disciple?"

Li Hao asked curiously.

Nine is usually a symbol of extreme numbers, but occasionally it is an actual number.

"It's difficult to teach a disciple."

Elder Wang shook his head slightly and said, "The Immortal Seal has basically reached its limit after carrying the Nine Flowers. It is useless to continue to condense more of the true meaning of the Holy Dao Origin. It cannot be engraved on the Immortal Seal. The Nine Flowers Immortal Seal is already the pinnacle of the Immortal Seal, but nothing is absolute. If it is further improved, it will become the Dao Origin Immortal Seal that is rare in all the worlds."

“But if you want to transform the Nine Flower Immortal Seal into the Dao Source Immortal Seal, it requires not only talent but also opportunities from all aspects. In short, you don’t have to consider this. Being able to condense the Nine Flower Immortal Seal already makes you a top True Immortal Realm genius in the True World!”
