The Final Two Stages

"Of course, if that is your wish," Ling Yunzi said with a smile. "Why don't you think about it a bit. Once you get to the Nine Seas God World, you can give me your final answer." He waved his sleeve, causing a command medallion to fly out to Meng Hao.

"When you've taken care of your affairs, crush that medallion. It will bring you to the Nine Seas God World." With that, Ling Yunzi turned and vanished. At the same time, the air around Meng Hao shattered. When things grew clear again, he was back on the altar on the Ancient Road.

All of the other competitors in the trial by fire were looking at Meng Hao with expressions of disbelief.

As for everyone in the outside world, although they weren't sure about the details of what had gone on between Meng Hao and the Three Great Daoist Societies, that didn't mean they were any less amazed regarding Meng Hao's rise to prominence in the trial by fire.
