"But if that happened, wouldn't Fang Chen miss this Immortal Peak Competition?"
The Dragon Ant Heavenly Emperor couldn't help speaking up. The Immortal Peak Competition for Great Emperors was held only once every hundred thousand years. To take part, many Great Emperors suppressed their cultivation at the Great Emperor Realm, unwilling to break through for ages.
If Fang Chen missed this competition, he would have to wait another hundred thousand years. That was far too long. He probably couldn't wait until then.
The Xuanhuang True Immortal sighed softly. "Not necessarily. Fang Chen forced Chen Mo of the Chen Family into such a desperate position, so he clearly has strength. If he's smart enough to find somewhere to hide, the Five Great Powers might not find him. He only needs to stay hidden until the competition begins!"
"Exactly! The Five Great Powers are too strong to provoke, but surely he can hide from them?"
Ye Kong couldn't help chiming in.
The Xuanhuang True Immortal looked at the Dragon Ant Heavenly Emperor and said sternly, "Don't let your guard down, either. In three hundred years, you'll head to the Land of Ending for your trial. If you don't make the most of your time and train, at your current level, you might die there without even knowing what killed you!"
"Yes! I'll go back and train right away!"
The Dragon Ant Heavenly Emperor bowed to the Xuanhuang True Immortal, then turned and left.
After the Dragon Ant Heavenly Emperor had gone, Ye Kong asked the Xuanhuang True Immortal, "Master, did you need something from me?"
The Xuanhuang True Immortal nodded. "How has your training gone lately?"
"I've made fairly quick progress," Ye Kong said. "I've already condensed my seventh Void Lotus!"
"Your seventh Void Lotus? Not bad."
The Xuanhuang True Immortal nodded.
