Entering Gan Capital, Divine Descendant!

Jiang Hao set off.

He didn't bring Big Tiger this time.

With so many people descending the mountain under the banner of the Huangtian Sect, it would be inconvenient to bring Big Tiger.

The group chose to ride horses down the mountain.

Martial artists cannot fly.

Even at the Grandmaster level, where stamina is terrifying and one can travel a thousand miles a day, flight is still impossible.

Only after Entering the Dao can martial artists fly.

They truly gain the terrifying ability to fly through the heavens and burrow through the earth.

The Huangtian Sect group was led by Elder Wang Deto.

This Elder Wang was said to be very senior and was already at the limit of the Grandmaster realm himself.

However, he had never managed to enter the Dao.

This time, leading the team down the mountain to participate in the Southern Domain Seven Sects Alliance was purely to contribute his remaining strength and join the excitement.

Still, with Elder Wang leading the way, as long as they didn't encounter a martial artist in the Entering the Dao realm, they would be almost perfectly safe.

Although there were many people on the journey, they were mostly within Huangtian Sect territory.

Everywhere they went, arrangements had been made in advance, so the group traveled without any fatigue.

Even after leaving the Huangtian Sect's sphere of influence and entering Great Gan, the Great Gan government arranged their food and lodging. There was no "eating in the wind and sleeping in the dew," nor did it feel like venturing through the jianghu.

Instead, it felt like a scenic tour.

This was the benefit of having a powerful backing.

It took more than half a month before the group finally arrived at Gandu.

The Great Gan Imperial Family personally arranged for the Huangtian Sect members to stay in a magnificent courtyard.

As soon as they were settled, Xia Hong quietly said to Jiang Hao, "Junior Brother, Leng Yue just left."

Jiang Hao hadn't paid attention to Leng Yue, but Xia Hong had.

She had been keeping an eye on Leng Yue.

"Senior Sister, don't worry about it. Even though this is the capital of Great Gan, Leng Yue wouldn't dare use any underhanded tactics. At most, she could only tamper with the schedule of the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition."

"But even then, I suspect Leng Yue doesn't have that kind of influence. If she truly had that kind of power, why would she have been relegated to being sent to the Huangtian Sect by the Imperial Family?"

Xia Hong agreed with Jiang Hao's words.

The Great Gan Imperial Family was itself one of the Seven Sects, on par with the Huangtian Sect.

The Imperial Family could cultivate disciples on its own.

Although Leng Yue being sent to the Huangtian Sect to practice martial arts involved some considerations from the Great Gan Imperial Family, Leng Yue was definitely a peripheral member of the Imperial Family; otherwise, she wouldn't have been sent so far away.

How could Leng Yue possibly have the influence to tamper with the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition?

"Junior Brother, don't be complacent. You still need to be careful."

"How about this, I'll go and inquire about the Hidden Force experts from the other six sects for you?"

"Then I'll trouble Senior Sister."

Jiang Hao nodded.

He knew Xia Hong was very skilled at dealing with people.

Xia Hong's inquiry about the Hidden Force experts from the other six sects would allow Jiang Hao to know his enemy and himself, and it would also be helpful.

In fact, it wasn't just Xia Hong who was inquiring; the other six sects, upon seeing the arrival of the Huangtian Sect, were also trying to find out which experts were within the Huangtian Sect.

This time, the Huangtian Sect was clearly a hot topic.

This was because Jiang Hao was only thirteen years old.

He looked incredibly young.

Among the martial artists confirmed to participate in the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, Jiang Hao was the youngest.

Therefore, the other six sects focused their inquiries on information about Jiang Hao.

However, there wasn't much information about Jiang Hao.

No matter how much they inquired, they only found a few pieces of information.

But these few pieces of information were enough for the other six sects to take him seriously.

Seven Peaks Mountain, one of the Southern Domain Seven Sects.

This sect was somewhat peculiar, divided into seven lineages within the sect, meaning it had seven distinct inheritances.

They competed with each other.

However, this time, Seven Peaks Mountain had reached a consensus.

"Li Qingshan" was appointed as the chief disciple of the Outer Gate of Seven Peaks.

"Qingshan, I've just gathered some information about the Outer Gate of the Huangtian Sect."

"This time, eleven people from the Huangtian Sect's Outer Gate have come, led by Jiang Hao. This Jiang Hao is reportedly an Inner Disciple of the Huangtian Sect, but he only has Hidden Force cultivation. He managed to clear the ninth level of the Desolate Heaven Tower, which is how he got into the Inner Gate."

"However, to participate in the Southern Domain Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, the Huangtian Sect temporarily assigned Jiang Hao to the Outer Gate as their Senior Disciple Brother."

"Jiang Hao joined the sect a very short time ago, but his strength is immense. The top ten disciples of the Huangtian Sect's Outer Gate are all convinced by Jiang Hao."

Li Qingshan remained expressionless upon hearing this.

He merely raised his gaze, looking towards another courtyard, and said calmly, "Uncle Mo, you don't need to inquire about the so-called geniuses of the other six sects. It's not very meaningful. Even if I failed to compete for the Divine Son and was relegated to this barren Southern Domain, I'm still not comparable to those native geniuses of the Southern Domain."

"For this Southern Domain Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, my goal has always been singular: Yan Beiwu! She comes from a Divine Blood family like me, and we are both disappointed contenders for the Divine Son. But in the Southern Domain, we are the top geniuses among our peers. Once we activate our Divine Blood, it will be difficult for us to lose."

"Therefore, there's no point in you inquiring about the so-called native geniuses of the other six sects."

Li Qingshan's tone was very calm.

Yet, the meaning behind his words was incredibly arrogant.

Perhaps it wasn't arrogance, but rather that he had already "seen through" everything.

In his eyes, the Southern Domain was simply a desolate land.

What kind of geniuses could be born here?

If he hadn't failed in the Divine Son competition within his Divine Blood family, why would he have come to the barbaric Southern Domain?

The man in front of Li Qingshan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Qingshan, don't underestimate the geniuses of the Southern Domain. Perhaps you are a Divine Descendant and possess Divine Blood, making you invincible among your peers, but once these geniuses in the Southern Domain enter the Dao, the advantage of Divine Blood won't be as significant."

"Since you've come to the Southern Domain, isn't it because you want to turn the impossible into the possible, hoping to succeed in entering the Dao without relying on bloodline?"

Li Qingshan nodded, "Uncle Mo, I'm stating facts. I won't underestimate the geniuses of the Southern Domain. Even if they lack bloodline, they can still produce Dao-entering experts. But below the Dao-entering stage, among peers, who can pose a threat to Divine Blood?"

Li Qingshan had his own pride.

His pride was the Divine Blood within him.

He came from a Divine Blood family!

This was an imprint etched into his soul.

Even though he was driven out of the family and fled to the barbaric Southern Domain, he was still proud of the Divine Blood within him!

"Qingshan, tell me honestly, are you targeting Yan Beiwu?"

Uncle Mo asked.

"Yes. Uncle Mo, I've been driven to the Southern Domain, and to enter the Dao? It's as difficult as ascending to heaven; it can only rely on miracles. But if I can unite with Yan Beiwu, the Divine Blood within both of us might undergo some changes, and then, we might be able to return to the Divine Blood family."

"This is beneficial for both of us, a win-win situation. Why is Yan Beiwu so resistant?"

"I ask you, among the peers in the Southern Domain, besides me, who else is worthy of Yan Beiwu?"

"Could it be those Southern Domain martial artists who have no bloodline at all?"

Li Qingshan's words made Uncle Mo frown even deeper.

He knew Li Qingshan was very proud.

But he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

Others were one thing.

Yan Beiwu also possessed Divine Blood and was a Divine Descendant.

If Yan Beiwu refused, what could Li Qingshan do?

"Uncle Mo, relax, Yan Beiwu will agree."

"As long as I sweep through the top geniuses of the Southern Domain's Seven Sects this time, Yan Beiwu will naturally understand that in the Southern Domain, only I am worthy of her! No one else is qualified."

Uncle Mo sighed, "Fine, whatever you wish."

He had followed Li Qingshan from the Divine Blood family to Seven Peaks Mountain in the Southern Domain.

In essence, it was equivalent to being exiled.

There was almost no hope of returning to the Divine Blood family in this lifetime.

He could only rely on miracles.

Since there were indeed no experts in the Southern Domain, he would let Li Qingshan do as he pleased.

At this moment, Yan Beiwu of the Moonlight Sect was also listening to her subordinate's report.

"Miss, Jiang Hao of the Huangtian Sect is said to be only thirteen years old and has also cleared the Desolate Heaven Tower. I've carefully investigated this Desolate Heaven Tower; any disciple of the Huangtian Sect who clears the ninth level basically succeeds in entering the Dao, as long as they don't perish midway."

"Therefore, this Jiang Hao is almost the future 'Seed of the Dao' for the Huangtian Sect, with immeasurable potential."

Yan Beiwu raised her head upon hearing this, revealing a face of peerless beauty and elegance.

"Although this is the barbaric Southern Domain, many martial artists here lack powerful bloodlines. However, once they enter the Dao, even if we possess Divine Blood, we won't have much of an advantage."

"The 'Seed of the Dao' of the Huangtian Sect certainly needs to be treated with caution!"

"However, what Jiang Hao possesses is ultimately just potential. Before Entering the Dao, it's strength that matters, and being without a bloodline puts one at too much of a disadvantage. In this Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition, my only opponent will likely be Li Qingshan."

Although Yan Beiwu wasn't as arrogant as Li Qingshan, she also knew that Li Qingshan and she herself had a massive advantage due to their divine blood.

"Miss, that annoying and arrogant fellow? Hmph, if he didn't have divine blood, he'd be a complete waste! And he actually wants to marry into our family? Dream on!"

The maidservant seemed to look down on Li Qingshan.

"Alright, let's not worry about Li Qingshan. As long as we smoothly secure a spot in the Blood Transformation Pool, even if Li Qingshan competes, there are still two spots left, which is enough!"

"Yes, Miss."

Yan Beiwu gazed in a distant direction.

That was the direction of "home."

Unfortunately, she couldn't go home anymore.

Huangtian Sect's encampment.

Xia Hong sat before Jiang Hao. She had already gathered information on the other six sects.

"Li Qingshan? Yan Beiwu?"

"You mean the outside world believes that these two are guaranteed to get two spots in the Blood Transformation Pool. Therefore, everyone else can only vie for the third, and only remaining, spot?"

Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

The Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition hadn't even begun, and two spots for the Blood Transformation Pool were already accounted for?

It was important to note that for disciples below the Transforming Force stage, there were only three spots in the Blood Transformation Pool in total.

"Could it be that the Seven Sects Alliance Grand Competition also has inside dealings? Are the spots predetermined?"

Jiang Hao asked.

Xia Hong shook her head. "How could there be predetermined spots? The seven sects jointly supervise this. However, Li Qingshan and Yan Beiwu are somewhat special. It's said they come from outside the Southern Domain and possess special bloodlines within them."

"Some people call it divine blood!"

"There are even rumors that those with divine blood are invincible among their peers!"

Jiang Hao's eyes narrowed.

"Divine blood?"

Speaking of divine blood, didn't he have the Great Sun Golden Crow Divine Blood within him?

He hadn't encountered any other divine blood martial artists yet.

Now that he had the chance to meet two divine blood martial artists, Jiang Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"However, my Great Sun Golden Crow bloodline is incomplete divine blood. I wonder if it can compare to the divine blood of those two?"

Many thoughts flashed through Jiang Hao's mind.

ps: I hope everyone can vote for more monthly tickets, as it can improve the new book's ranking. Old Yue thanks you!
