“I am Ji Mingxin, and don’t say I am bullying someone younger; you brought this upon yourself!”
Li Hao looked up, and the other party seemed slightly older than Ji Mingque, about twenty-four or twenty-five, already appearing to be a young man.
“It doesn’t matter,”
said Li Hao.
Ji Daoxin, seeing Li Hao so confident and considering that Li Hao could defeat Ji Yufen, must be a prodigy outside and probably had not suffered much frustration, inevitably, he could be arrogant. He sighed in his heart, and said,
“This is not the place for battle. If you wish to challenge the Dao Seed, then sound the Sacred Bell, gather the other prodigies, and all shall come to Tian Dao Mountain!”
As his voice spread, everyone realized this was serious.
The words of the family head were not to be taken lightly. Truly sounding the Sacred Bell meant that the youth would become like an arrow on the string, unable to be held back!
Ji Yun Yue and others quickly rushed to the platform, and Ji Yun Yue hurriedly said, “Child, don’t be so hasty, wait a few more years. Our Ji Family has plenty of resources, we will cultivate you well!”
“Indeed, even if you are confident, it would be safer to wait a few more years.”
“You are too anxious, child. This can cause hidden injuries and delay your Cultivation Level later on,”
said Ji Yunqing and others, joining in to advise.
Although Ji Yun Ge had informed them of the young man’s immense strength, capable of becoming a leader among the Ji Family’s prodigies, Li Hao, as of now, was still too young and inexperienced.
“I want to bring her back as soon as possible,”
Lie Hao simply said.
Upon hearing the young man’s words, Ji Yunqing and others had a slight change in expression. Seeing his persistent gaze and stopping themselves from speaking, they couldn’t find the words to say.
Ji Daoxin saw that not even Ji Yun Yue and others could dissuade Li Hao and immediately waved his hand, saying,
“Let’s go, follow me to ring the Sacred Bell.”
Li Hao nodded.
Ji Daoxin soared into the sky, with Li Hao following behind, flying toward the mountaintop.
At the summit, there was a Dao Platform with a gigantic bell as ancient as a cauldron.
“Ring the Sacred Bell, initiate the Dao Seed battle, and you will have no way back!” Ji Daoxin said solemnly.
Li Hao nodded and then, with Control Force, picked up the divine iron hammer in front of the great bell. He struck it hard against the bell, instantly spreading the clear sound of the bell throughout the entire Sacred Mountain.
At this moment, everyone on the Sacred Mountain, including the ordinary people of the Ji Family in the city on the other side of the mountain, heard the sound, and they were all shocked.
The bell sounds, the Dao Seed emerges, someone is challenging the Dao Seed!
One must understand that challenging the Dao Seed means facing blood battles with all the Ji Family’s prodigies, which is not a simple spar with stopping at a light contact. It could very well mean severe injury, or even death!
After all, the battle for the Dao Seed consumes all one’s strength to reach the top, and one might even use secret techniques; it’s not something easily stopped.
“This child is too eager…”
Ji Yun Yue and others, hearing the bell from the mountaintop, all turned pale.
If they remembered correctly, the child was only fifteen years old.

A fifteen-year-old aiming for the summit, facing off against prodigies who were twenty-five, or even close to thirty years old, would be an incredibly difficult feat!
“Third Brother was right, this child has true emotions and nature, willing to go to such lengths for his mother, this sentiment surpasses many!”
Ji Tian Chao stood on the Dao Platform, looking toward the mountaintop, his eyes filled with gravity.
“Quick, think of a way to stop him, is there still time?” Ji Yun Yue said anxiously.
Ji Tian Chao shook his head slightly, saying, “You needn’t worry too much; Third Brother said the child could contend with the Ultimate Study Realm. Third Brother probably didn’t exaggerate; perhaps the child really can do it!”
“How is that possible?”
Ji Yun Yue widened her eyes but then realized she hadn’t been able to discern Li Hao’s Cultivation Realm. Perhaps, Li Hao had already reached the Defying Fate Realm?
In that case, a battle against the Peerless Technique, despite being outrageous, was not completely impossible.
“That child is still too impulsive. His mother is on Qiu Tian Dao, even though it’s harsh there, a mere few years shouldn’t matter…”
Ji Yun Yue couldn’t help but sigh.
With such talent, no wonder Third Brother said that in the next ten years, this child could fight shoulder to shoulder with number nine.
As they spoke, the sound of the Sacred Bell carried Daoist rhyme, spreading throughout the entire Ji Family.
Even those in secluded cultivation heard the bell ring, and in an instant, light shone forth from many caverns as exceptional figures flew out from within.
“Who is that, ringing our Ji Family’s Sacred Bell?”
“Who dares to challenge the Dao Seed with such arrogance?!”
“Could it be that Ji has made a breakthrough?”
Many Ji Family prodigies lingered briefly in front of the caverns before speeding towards the Dao Platform on the peak of the Sacred Mountain.
Besides the many Ji Family prodigies, the numerous high-ranking Ji Family members who were previously watching at the Dao Platform and those Ji Family prodigies who came early to see the excitement were also shocked and angry, all setting out toward the Dao Platform on the mountaintop.
“To dare challenge the Dao Seed without awakening the Holy Bone!”
“I want to see with my own eyes how he gets defeated!”
Everyone flocked to the mountaintop in droves.
The Sacred Mountain was vast and boundless, with the mountaintop consisting of a plain thousands of miles across, with rivers and mountains. At this moment, on one of the towering peaks, Li Hao stood next to Ji Daoxin.
The great bell swayed, and its sound echoed.
Countless figures rushed forward, converging upon the prodigy’s Dao arena, Tian Dao Mountain.
“Who is ringing the bell, daring to challenge the Dao Seed?!”
A thunderous roar approached from afar, the voice reaching the Dao arena before the figure was seen.
When the wind he carried settled, a tall and sturdy young man came into view. He noticed Ji Daoxin, promptly bowed to pay respects, and then his gaze fell on Li Hao, who was standing beside the family head.
“Is it you?”
“It is I,”
said Li Hao.
“Who are you, which sect, which generation? How come I’ve never heard your name?” the tall young man inquired intently.
“You will hear of it in the future,”
said Li Hao.
As more and more radiant figures arrived, cutting through the sky and landing around the Dao arena, there were at least dozens of figures.
