Chapter 1135: Chapter 236: Chess Tao Entering Saint, Yan Luo’s Exhibition
“Spear Dao, could it be Lin Saint?”
“Is that the Original True Intent of the Spear Dao?”
The sudden outburst of powerful spear intent made everyone on the cushion open their eyes in surprise.
Even with the Dao Domain shrouding and isolating some outside disturbances, the spear intent which reached the Original True Intent penetrated the Dao Domain’s barrier, startling many who were fully immersed in their prehension.
On one of the cushions, a figure floated in mid-air, holding a pitch-black divine spear, its spearhead flashing with blinding silver light.
In the void behind him, a towering spear faintly took shape, giving the impression of heaven and earth congealing into a spear.
The spear, ancestor of all weapons, invincible everywhere!
Everyone could sense the dazzling sharpness from him, as well as the ocean-like steadiness, both domineeringly sharp yet not overly flamboyant or unbridled.
“He actually condensed the Original True Intent. I remember he hasn’t been here for long.”
“Lin Saint’s talent is also extremely high. When he first arrived here, he already possessed a Heavenly Dao Heart, and he’s only been here a thousand years.”
“To grasp the spear dao of the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Law to such an extent, I’ve heard from Elder Wang that if he bees a True Immortal, he would be elite among his realm, capable of fending off a hundred!”
Everyone gazed at the upright figure of Lin Saint with plex emotions.
After Mu Saint and Ming Saint, the third person able to challenge the True Venerate Tower has finally appeared, and it wasn’t either of them, leaving a sense of loneliness and bitterness in their hearts.
Lin Saint appeared young, clad in black, with a cold demeanor, extraordinarily handsome, with eyes of different colors, dark purple and black dual pupils. At his birth, a phenomenon descended from the heavens, marking him as a monstrous genius. He vanished from the heavens when he accidentally fell here.
At this moment, he slowly opened his eyes, his aura retracted, and the sharp spear intent around him dissipated.
Feeling the concentrated gazes of the people, he remained calm, unruffled, and slowly descended onto the cushion, putting away the Tao Tribulation Emperor Weapon in his hand.
Then, he glanced into the distance and saw the young man in front of the small house also turned to look this way, their eyes meeting.
Lin Saint’s gaze was calm, his chin subtly nodding as if to greet.
This time, the enlightenment was somewhat triggered by that young man, but the other seemed to have chosen a shortcut.
He could understand, as after all, although the other had a high Dao Heart, Dao Heart and cultivation aptitude are different matters. Arriving late, wanting to catch up, the best way is to take shortcuts.
Unfortunately, that path is not viable.
“Congratulations to Lin Saint for stepping into the second test, able to challenge the True Venerate Tower now!”
Beside him, other saints offered their congratulations.
Though feeling pressured internally, outwardly they remained harmonious.
Lin Saint nodded slightly, then met the gazes of two, Ming Saint and Mu Saint.
The two nodded slightly at Lin Saint, their expressions revealing no joy or anger, the nod itself a gesture of congratulations.
The two then exchanged a glance and retracted their gaze, resuming their seated meditation.
Lin Saint subtly sensed that, unlike before, he seemed to have entered these two’s consideration.
His lips slightly curled, this instead instilled a sense of exhilarating momentum in him.
Though his cultivation time is shorter than theirs, he felt that he might still rise later and surpass them.
He turned and walked toward the house.
In front of the house, Li Hao had long since retracted his gaze, reconnecting his thoughts, pondering over the trace of inspiration he had caught from dismantling the pieces earlier.
Elder Wang saw Li Hao still pondering over the chess game and couldn’t help but chuckle quietly, not interrupting Li Hao, but smilingly watching Lin Saint walk over, saying:
“Not bad, not bad, keep up the effort to surpass them.”
A hint of a smile like melting ice appeared on Lin Saint’s cold face as he slightly bowed and clasped his hands: “Elder Wang, I have prehended the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Law to Perfection and wish to undertake the second test.”
“Mm, go ahead.”
Elder Wang nodded approvingly, not requiring him to demonstrate.
He’d already seen clearly the momentum just released, Lin Saint had cultivated the spear dao of the Ten Thousand Battles Immortal Law to perfection.
Hearing this, Lin Saint glanced at the boy sitting on a small wooden stool beside him, head bowed, contemplating the chessboard, seemingly oblivious to his arrival.
His expression indifferent, he said nothing, turning to leave.
Once he left the front of the house, he headed straight to challenge the True Venerate Tower.
His actions naturally caught some saints’ attention, prompting someone to bring out incense to count the time.
Not long after, Lin Saint emerged from the Black Tower, with only a tenth of the incense having burned.
Even so, this made many focus their eyes.
“It’s a bit longer than Mu Saint and Ming Saint’s initial challenge time.”
“It seems Lin Saint’s bat awareness is strong; in this second test, he might catch up to Mu Saint and Ming Saint.”
“His master is the Spear Saint, but he has long surpassed his master here.”
The crowd watched with plex expressions; Lin Saint’s rapid progress made them all feel an intense urgency.
Many had no mind to discuss further, all bowing their heads to meditate.
Flower Saint and Travel Saint exchanged glances, feeling some pressure too; they looked toward the house to see Li Hao still showing only his back to them, as usual, still grappling with the chessboard.
They silently sighed, closing their eyes to continue their own prehension.
Elder Wang saw the others at the cushion settling down, a smile forming as he sensed the urgency simmering in those youngsters’ hearts.
He shifted his gaze back to the chessboard before him, seeing Li Hao in deep thought, lifting a piece to place it down.
“You really have the patience.”
