Undoubtedly Advanced

After concealing her presence, Su Luo left with Kundina, showing no intention of participating in the competition.

Mu Hongyuan and Ansen stayed behind to observe the competition and relearn the techniques. If the format of the subsequent competitions was acceptable, they would participate and take control of the situation; otherwise, they would hide away to improve their skills.

"The concentration of Qi in this Dao Lord is truly outrageous. It's at least a hundred thousand times greater than the Qi scarce environment I was born in, which was caused by the Heavenly Desolation. It's not even from the same world."

Looking at the Heaven’s Gate shrouded in mist and dotted with rivers, Su Luo sighed with emotion.

The concentration of Qi was so high that it created a paradise on earth, with the Qi even forming rivers and clouds that flowed between the Heaven’s Gate.

In other words, the Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate is connected to the two heavenly Heaven’s Gate above it. Perhaps we can find our way up by going upstream along the river.

Of course, the current task is to explore the Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate.

Su Luo originally only planned to come up and see what wonders the temple had, not to swagger around exploring someone else's home like this.

However, it seemed that Dieyi Daojun was not at home. Su Luo activated his Gravitational Perspective but did not see him, nor did he sense any life force of Dieyi Daojun in the Divine Firmament Heaven’s Gate. He also did not believe that Dieyi Daojun could hide from his senses.

Not only Dieyi Daojun, but several Dao Lords from the two upper Heaven’s Gate also seem to be absent.

Su Luo and the others fought for at least half a day, making such a great show of it that even non- Golden Core Five Elements True Persons came down from one of the upper Heaven’s Gate to check the situation, while Dao Lords remained silent.

Where to go next?

Kundina turned around, looked at the massive stadium, then at the palace complex along the way, and asked.

"Let's go check out the Leyline first. As the place with the most abundant Qi in the world, it will be convenient for us to rebuild."

The concentration and accumulation of extraordinary energy can bring about a qualitative change, because extraordinary energy cannot be regarded as simple matter. If the concentration doubles, the environment may change drastically.

According to Su Luo's observation, the Cycle and flow of Qi in this Heaven’s Gate all point to a certain place at the deepest part, which is clearly the source of the Leyline and also the direction of Dieyi Daojun's residence.

The two people and one aircraft flew towards the place with the most abundant Qi. While refining the flying magic weapon, Su Luo unrestrainedly released her senses.

Having observed the entire process, Su Luo couldn't contain herself any longer. The palace complexes were almost entirely devoid of residential functions, instead containing all sorts of recreational activities—a veritable blend of hell and heaven.

To put it simply, everyone in the dojo is a cup of Dieyi Daojun, and the hierarchy is based on how close or distant one is to Daoist Dieyi.

If the Talented Lady class is a public cup, belonging to the public resources, then the classes below it are either consumed by the Dao Lord's cultivation or become private slaves.

This place also had slavery.

However, from the perspective of per capita population, slavery was undoubtedly advanced.

"Hey, isn't that Jin Cai?" Su Luo saw Jin Cai Adept being escorted on the road. He was being escorted by two Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivators towards the depths of the Daoist temple.

Violet Palace Adept is not some common cabbage. Even in Dao Lord temple, Violet Palace Adept cannot roam everywhere. The cultivator enforcing the law is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and Jin Cai Adept has no intention of resisting.

"They're heading towards Dao Lord's palace," Kundina said.

The issue of this student selection error should be left to the Dao Lord to decide. These cultivators enforcing the law are unaware that the Dao Lord has already left the Heaven’s Gate; they only know to faithfully deliver the students.

"Then I'll just ask casually," Su Luo replied, disappearing from sight once more.

At this moment, Jin Cai Adept was chatting with two cultivators, seemingly unconcerned about the punishment he was about to face.

He single-handedly established a family of cup makers within the temple, a hereditary lineage with generations of concubines serving as cup makers. Ordinary people wouldn't even have the connections to do that.

"How do you think Dao Lord will punish him?" Jin Cai asked casually.

"You'll likely be demoted from the rank of Consort Mei to a lower rank, and if you're in a bad mood, you might even receive a 'Talented Lady Trial Card'," someone said respectfully.

"Hiss... Talented Lady Trial Card." Jin Cai Adept had a slight toothache.

Meanwhile, Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage on the other side said:

"My lord, the Dao Lord is currently in a yang state; I suggest you transform into a yin state before paying him a visit."

Jin Cai slowly nodded, her body automatically changing shape, her frame shrinking, her shoulders narrowing, her waist thinning... finally transforming into a white-haired loli.

"What are your recent preferences, Dao Lord...?"

Before Jin Cai Adept could ask any more questions, the two cultivators beside her instantly turned into two meatballs and landed in Su Luo's hands.

"Jinli? You actually dared to kill him--" Jin Cai Adept was shocked.

Su Luo glanced at her, her overwhelming cultivation level causing her voice to disappear instantly.

"We are here on the orders of Han Fairy. Please report the number and strength of the cultivators in Dao Lord's palace." Su Luo didn't waste any words.

Jin Cai Adept was stunned for a moment, then said, "What do you want to do? That's a Dao Lord!"

She didn't have a good impression of Su Luo. Before, Mu Hongyuan and the other three of them were chatting away, and Su Luo was the only male among them.

Actually, you're mistaken.

Su Luo spied on the Jin Cai Adept's thoughts, and after obtaining the information she needed, she made her sleep, having no intention of speaking further with this ambiguous being.

Under the influence of Dieyi Daojun, these guys' art style is really too strange, like the lewd ideas of a third-rate writer coming true.

"Dieyi Daojun has one Empress, whose strength is at the Violet Palace Great Perfection, half a step towards the Golden Core. He also has four Consorts, whose strength is at the Violet Palace Great Perfection realm. And nine Beautiful Concubines, whose strength is at the Violet Palace Mid-Stage or above." Su Luo told Kundina the information.

The number of the Violet Palace in the harem of Daoist Guang Dieyi Daojun alone exceeds that of any other Immortal Sect. It can only be said that this place is indeed one of the most resource-concentrated places in the world.

"... No threat." Kundina for a moment, then felt she could fight back.

"The only concern is Dieyi Daojun's backup plan and the possibility of him traveling back. Golden Core Dao Lord, relying on their Heavenly Dao Fruit Positions, have the means to travel through space."

Su Luo tossed the storage bag in her hand, recalling the strangely powerful Mutated Calamity from the previous era.

That said, why is there absolutely no news about the [Demon] that occupies the ecological niche of the [Calamity] of this era and the previous era? Could they be up to something big?

"Then let's go."

As Kundina was speaking, she suddenly saw an Ancient Mirror floating downstream in the flowing Qi river beside her.

The Ancient Mirror has been floating and sinking, with rust marks and even cracks on its surface. It's unclear how many times it has been handled; it's been used to pieces.

The Ancient Mirror soared into the air in the next instant.

"Luosu, help me!"
