Meng Hao was aware of all of this, of course. His expression was the same as ever and he ignored everyone else. He paused at each layer to absorb as much spiritual energy as possible, and then continued to climb upward.
Several meters behind him were all the other Cultivators. They eyed Meng Hao helplessly, waiting for him to move onward before doing so themselves.
Each and every pair of eyes inside this world was watching Meng Hao. He was the focus of all attention.
The Song Clan's competition in search of a son-in-law had turned into Meng Hao's stepping stone. Regardless of whether Meng Hao was the winner or not, he had already left a deep impression on Song Jia. That, coupled with the events which had happened before the banquet began, caused her to ignore everyone else and focus solely on Meng Hao.
Perhaps it was fate; after today, the five Clans and three Sects would know that Meng Hao was also Chosen!
