Great Yu God of War, Mortal Realm Female Sword Immortal

Seeing Li Hao's resolute attitude, Source Ancestor and the others tried to persuade him to no avail, and eventually left.

"Isn't there any other way?"

"This Lord Haotian is too cruel. Does he really want to see us all die a miserable death?"

"Stop talking about him. We treat All Things as Straw Dogs, and he treated us as Straw Dogs. This is just retribution."

Among the saints, some were pessimistic, having already foreseen the fate of the All Heavens Sacred Land.

Although the other Sage were angry with Li Hao, they knew in their hearts that they were the ones who had caused the trouble. They were just desperate in the face of life and death and were angry that Li Hao would not forgive them.

Under this oppressive and gloomy atmosphere, the Sword Saint remained silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"Although I am not familiar with Haotian, I have heard my senior brother say that he is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, who repays kindness and avenges wrongs. You have all studied his Daoist Dao Scripture, which emphasize the Dao Emulates Own Inherent Spontaneity and a natural, unrestrained mindset. Our current situation is our own fault, but if we want to save ourselves, perhaps there is still a way."

What method?

Someone quickly asked.

Source Ancestor, the God King, and the others also looked at the Sword Saint.

The Sword Saint's mind flashed with the Reincarnated Body. His eyes gleamed as he said, "He built this Sacred Land probably to protect his relatives and friends. It's better for us to go to his relatives and friends and ask them to help persuade him than for us to go directly to him."

At this point, he continued, "Before that, we need to do something to show him, make amends, plug that gap, and prevent other Ancient Demon from invading."

"Make amends for past mistakes? So many of us have to act according to his whims?"

One of the Sage looked grim and found it unbelievable.

Source Ancestor and the God King exchanged a glance, but both thought the Sword Saint's suggestion was good.

"So what if you have to read his face? You can choose not to, but don't beg him. Don't you understand your current situation?"

"That's right. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If the formation is ineffective, then you should research a formation that can bypass the Ancient Demon's detection."

"Now, we have no choice but to do as the Sword Saint said, but blocking the breach is too dangerous. What if that Immortal Gate suddenly breaks down..."

Many Sage agreed with the Sword Saint's idea. Now that things had come to this, they had no choice but to bow their heads. However, they couldn't help but worry about the danger of blocking the breach.

"To avoid everyone sacrificing themselves, let's plug this gap by taking turns. If something happens to someone during their turn, that's just fate."

The Source Ancestor spoke.

His words were tantamount to finalizing the matter.

Although some of the saints had some complaints and wanted to try other methods, they could only accept it helplessly for now.

After a short while, following the discussion, they divided themselves into three groups based on their strength and numbers: one group led by the Source Ancestor, another group led by the God King, and the third group consisting of many of the Three Tribulations Saint.

They take turns guarding the Ancient Hall, rotating every three days.

After the discussion concluded, the saints followed the Source Ancestor and the God King to the Ancient Hall.

"I don't know how many Ancient Demons have been released in these past few days. These Ancient Demon are cunning, and there will most likely be guards at this breach."

Source Ancestor and the others cautiously arrived at the Ancient Hall.

Upon entering the Ancient Hall, one immediately senses a pervasive, unsettling malevolent energy permeating the air.

They immediately knew that their guess was correct; there were indeed Ancient Demon lurking here.

When they arrived at the crack, they saw four Ancient Demon guarding the Starry Sky Immortal Gate.

As they noticed the Ancient Demon, the four Ancient Demon also noticed them, and immediately let out a menacing growl.

"Really..."

Source Ancestor and the others' expressions darkened. If they hadn't anticipated that all of them would come here, and only a group of Sage had come to guard the area, they would likely have paid a heavy price.

"Kill!"

The God King was extremely decisive, taking the lead in drawing his sword and charging forward.

Soon, a great battle broke out in the Ancient Hall.

The four Ancient Demon joined forces, putting immense pressure on the saints. However, the saints united and helped each other, and their numbers were more than twenty times that of the Ancient Demon. They quickly annihilated the four Ancient Demons.

However, more than twenty Sage were injured, their Primordial Spirit weakened, and they needed to recuperate.

"God King, according to the previous Destiny Technique spell, you will guard this place for now. I will come in three days."

The Source Ancestor spoke to the God King.

The God King nodded, wiped the Ancient Demon's blood off the sword, and then squatted down in front of the Ancient Demon Corpse to examine it.

"This Ancient Demon is comparable to Dragon Saint, so it should be a treasure trove. Perhaps it can be refined into weapons or Precious Medicine. The Lord Haotian took away the Ancient Demon's corpse earlier, most likely for a very useful purpose. Those of you who understand weapon crafting and alchemy, come and see what we can find."

"The God King called out."

Upon hearing this, several Sage immediately stepped forward. They were all skilled in weapon crafting and alchemy, and quickly selected the Ancient Demon's Sharp Claws and skull.

Source Ancestor glanced at it and shook his head slightly. "Don't waste your energy. I already investigated before. Although this Ancient Demon is dead, its flesh and blood contain a special soul-devouring power, which will affect both weapon crafting and alchemy. It's impossible to refine it."

Both weapon crafting and alchemy require the use of Divine Sense for control. During this process, one's soul is constantly devoured by the flesh and blood of Ancient Demon. After a single weapon crafting session, one may be severely injured, and there is still no guarantee of success.

Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the several Sage skilled in weapon crafting and alchemy, after examining the area, all changed their expressions slightly and shook their heads.

"The Source Ancestor is right, it really can't be refined."

The God King raised an eyebrow and glanced at his old rival. Sure enough, the other party always got ahead of him in everything, yet remained silent in the shadows.

"What was the reason that the Lord Haotian took their corpses?"

The God King frowned and asked.

Source Ancestor's eyes flickered. He also wanted to ask Li Hao about this, but he knew that it would inevitably involve Li Hao's secrets, and asking would only be pointless.

Having spent twelve years on that Ancient Road, Li Hao couldn't possibly be unaware of the peculiarity of this Ancient Demon Meat.

"Perhaps he has some special method, or perhaps it was a method taught to him by that Immortal Deity soldier he mentioned."

Source Ancestor shook his head and said that this was the only explanation he could think of.

"Since he can make use of this Ancient Demon Corpse, do you think giving it to him would be considered a gesture of goodwill and compensation?"

Suddenly, a Sage spoke up and made a suggestion.

Upon hearing his words, Source Ancestor paused slightly, then nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Tianyu, deliver these four Ancient Demon Corpse to Haotian later, and also tell them about our plan to plug the breach, so he can see our sincerity!"

Xiao Tianyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, saying, "Understood."

I'll go too.

A Sage immediately spoke.

"I'll accompany Sage Tianyu on this journey, lest he encounter other Ancient Demon along the way," another Sage quickly added.

Soon, seven or eight people expressed their willingness to accompany Xiao Tianyu.

Seeing this, Source Ancestor did not stop him, but he understood perfectly well what was going on.

The fear that Xiao Tianyu might encounter the Ancient Demon is just an excuse. Right now, only Li Hao has a way to seek refuge, and everyone wants to change their image and gain favor with Li Hao.

The God King sat down on the steps, a slight sneer on his lips. Ever since he was sealed away, he had never looked down on these Sages.

"Apart from the Sage who accompany the God King to guard the realm, the rest of you, come with me to the Mortal World to visit the Divine General Residence."

Source Ancestor spoke, he turned to look at the Mo Family Supreme Saint and said:

"Is that Sage of the Jiang Family still in Seclusion? We should invite him out."

The Mo Family Supreme Saint immediately understood the Source Ancestor's thoughts and nodded, saying, "I have already informed him. He promised to try his best, but he cannot guarantee it. In addition, he said he must be given a chance for revenge; he wants to fight Jiao Saint to the death."

Upon hearing this, one of the Sage in the crowd changed his expression slightly. Seeing the gazes cast upon him by the other saints, he immediately understood that he had no choice.

Now, that descendant of the Jiang Family has a close relationship with Lord Haotian, and it's something he anticipated that the other party would want to use this opportunity to avenge the grudge from back then.

"If the saints do not interfere, I can give him a fair opportunity to discuss the Dao."

Jiao Saint said in a low voice.

Seeing that he agreed, the Mo Family Supreme Saint nodded. If the other party refused, he would have no choice but to take action himself.

"Previously, in the Lands of the Saints, the ancestors of the Li Family suffered, and I ordered my men to rescue them. Now, let us send them down to the mortal realm as well."

Source Ancestor spoke, he summoned another disciple and gave him instructions.

Upon hearing his words, the God Dynasty glanced at him.

The opponent actually made this move ahead of time.

In the Mortal World, Great Yu Dynasty.

In Yu Province, within the Imperial City Imperial Palace.

A long, crimson carpet of Dragon Scales was laid out on the ground, with civil and military officials lined up on both sides. Accompanied by chains being dragged along, a chariot drove from the Mysterious Heaven Gate into front of the Imperial Palace.

On the chariot, chains were entangled and linked together a huge, blood-soaked head.

The head was seven or eight meters in diameter, a bloody mess, with broken skull and several meters-long sharp teeth protruding, sending chills down one's spine.

In front of the chariot, there is a young general wearing a majestic battle robe and armor. There is a word "" on the chest of the armor.

He dismounted from his warhorse, the phoenix feathers on his helmet fluttering, making him look extremely majestic, and walked into the Imperial Palace hall.

As he stepped in, the whispers throughout the Imperial Palace seemed to vanish, and all eyes were fixed on this handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

The young man removed his blood-stained helmet, held it to his waist, and walked steadily toward the old Imperial Emperor on the dragon throne at the end of the long carpet, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects."

When he reached the front of the civil and military officials and was near the steps, the young man stopped, nodded slightly, and did not kneel.

The old man on the Dragon Throne showed no displeasure, but instead smiled broadly and said, "Very good, very good. You've had a long and arduous journey. My dear ministers, congratulations to General Li on his return from slaying the demon!"

Upon hearing his words, all the civil and military officials in the court were invigorated and cheered in unison.

"Reward!"

Once the congratulations subsided, Yu Emperor, seated on the dragon throne, beamed and said, "Marshal Li has guarded my Great Yu for a hundred years, his merits and demerits will be remembered for a thousand years. I hereby reward him with two Yu Dragon Tokens, a city, a million in gold, and a hundred thousand free slaves!"

His words were met with cheers from the entire court.

But the young man in front of the steps remained calm and unchanged.

Seeing his expression, Yu Emperor couldn't help but feel a little helpless. He said, "My dear minister, you must be tired from your journey. Do you have anything to report? If not, go and rest. I'll grant you a six-month leave to recuperate properly at the Divine General Residence. Besides slaying demons and monsters, you should also have more children to procreate. Don't waste your Bloodline."

Upon hearing this, the young man frowned, glanced at Yu Emperor, and seeing his helpless expression, his face darkened slightly before he nodded and said:

"Your subject understands."

With that, he bowed slightly and turned to leave.

Although his actions were somewhat impolite, the court officials were already used to it, and given his status, it was nothing unusual.

"Marshal Li is truly formidable. That Demon King at the Dao Inquiry Realm, who I heard came from the depths of the Great Wasteland Heaven, broke through three Frontier cities of our dynasty, and no one could stop him. Yet Marshal Li killed him with a single move."

"Yes, Marshal Li is a blessed general bestowed upon our Great Yu by Heaven. He has already been granted the God-rank Noble and the military rank of Grand Marshal of the All Under Heaven. Although his merits this time are great, there is nothing more to be awarded. He can only be rewarded with some money and jewels. I'm afraid even the contents of the Imperial Family treasury cannot compare to what the Li Family has accumulated over the years."

"Marshal Li has long been granted the God-rank Noble, and he has been diligently accumulating merits over the years. He must be aiming to become Great Yu Heavenly General, right?"

As the young man left, whispers returned to the court.

Yu Emperor gazed at the young man's retreating figure, a sigh escaping his lips. He knew the look in the young man's eyes before he left, knew what the other wanted as a reward, but that thing was unique, and he could not give it to him.

Thinking of this, the image of that carefree, handsome young man couldn't help but appear in his mind.

A century has passed in a flash.

In the Lands of the Saints, only a dozen years have passed, and it is unknown how the other party is doing.

Imperial Palace.

After leaving the court, the young man rode away on horseback directly outside the main hall.

Of all the officials in the court, only he was allowed to ride a horse freely within the Imperial Palace Imperial Capital could not achieve.

As he rode away from the Imperial Palace, he arrived in the Imperial City. This time, to slay the demon, he led only his personal Personal Guards.

At this moment, instead of meeting up with his Personal Guards and returning to Qing Prefecture, he rode his horse towards a Famous Mountain not far from the Imperial City.

It is said that this mountain was desolate a hundred years ago, but later the mountain peak was cut off by a sword and then cleared out, all because a female Sword Immortal settled on this mountain and built a dojo.

The mountain is not high, but it is sacred because of the immortals who dwell there. Warrior from All Under Heaven came to visit, but they were all turned away.

In that Daoist temple, there were only a few Daoist Daoist, who seemed to be the female Sword Immortal's attendants, cleaning the temple and tending to the medicinal herb fields she had cultivated.

"General Li, this is the abode of Fairy; you must not trespass."

At the foot of the mountain, the young man rode up on horseback, only to be stopped at the bottom of the mountain path with its thousands of steps.

The two women, dressed simply in Green-Robed Side Sword, hurriedly stopped the young man.

A hint of displeasure appeared on the young man's face. Even the Imperial Palace was his domain; there was no place in the All Under Heaven he couldn't enter.

However, thinking of the figure on the mountain, he didn't lash out. He jumped off his warhorse and said, "Go and inform Ren Fairy that Li Pingan has come to visit!"

Upon hearing this, the two women dared not say anything more, and one of them quickly went up the mountain to report.

This young man, whose power was immense and whose status in the entire Great Yu Dynasty was second only to Yu Emperor, simply stood quietly in front of the steps, while the woman beside him felt as if she dared not even breathe.

Their Fairy could avoid the Imperial Emperor and anyone else, and no one dared to do anything to her, because of Fairy strength to become the Supreme of the All Under Heaven. However, they dared not neglect the general in front of them, whose status Xuanhe extremely illustrious.

A moment later, a figure in Green-Robed rushed up the steps. The woman who had reported earlier returned, glanced cautiously at the young man, and said:

"General Li, my Fairy says she doesn't receive guests. Please leave."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, the young man's face darkened immediately. His patience seemed to have run out; he wanted to explode in anger, but then he remembered something and held back. He took a deep breath and said:

"I went to war this time and slew a Demon at the Dao Inquiry Realm, taking its Dao Scale as a gift."

As he spoke, he opened his palm and took out a dark brown scale that exuded Dao Resonance.

A hazy mist emanated from the scales, which, though merely scales, resembled Divine Weapon, giving the impression of sharp and piercing power.

He handed it to the woman and said, "Go and give this to Ren Fairy, and tell her that I'm just here for a cup of tea and then I'll leave."

The woman's gaze was completely drawn to the scales; she could sense that it was an extraordinary object, one that, if forged into a weapon, would undoubtedly become an All Under Heaven- renowned Divine Weapon.

She quickly and carefully took the item, holding it out to say, "General Li, please wait a moment, I will go and inform the Fairy immediately."

With that, he turned and quickly went up the mountain.

The young man patiently continued to wait at the foot of the mountain. His handsome figure made the woman beside him's eyes sparkle, and she felt a secret admiration for him.

Since the young man before us has become famous, there is no more ideal marriage partner for any woman in the All Under Heaven than him.

With the title of God-rank Noble, a position equivalent to Xuanhe Divine General, and coming from a distinguished Aristocratic Clan of Heavenly Talent generals, he achieved fame at a young age and was considered second to none in talent throughout history. All these splendid deeds and legends made this young man the subject of discussion and admiration for countless young women.

However, she knew that in the other person's eyes, there seemed to be only that Fairy in their family.

While waiting, the woman who had been previously notified returned shortly afterward.

Before she even got close, Li Pingan frowned as he saw the Dao Scale in the other person's hand.

His face darkened. The other party hadn't accepted it?

"General Li, my Fairy says this item is too precious to accept as a reward without merit. Please take it back, General Li. She will not see any guests..."

The woman held the Dao Scale in her hands, looking at him carefully with reluctance and heartache in her eyes, but still handed the Dao Scale to the handsome and ruthless general in front of her.

Li Pingan remained silent for a long while. Afterward, he withdrew his Dao Scale, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes as he said:

"I only wanted to pay a visit, Fairy so unforgiving, don't blame me for forcing my way in."

Before the two women could even gasp in shock, he leaped into the air and flew away.

He was capable of slaying Demon at the Dao Inquiry Realm, and he himself was already at the Dao Inquiry Realm. These two women were only at the Three Immortalities Realm, so how could they possibly stop him in the slightest?

In an instant, it appeared directly above the steps.

His gaze swept across the area, and he immediately saw a very simple Hedge-Enclosed Courtyard in front of him.

This Small Courtyard resembles the dwelling of an ordinary rural woman, but inside sits a stunningly beautiful figure dressed in snow-white, gently sketching the distant green mountain scenery with her delicate hands.

The mere sight of a silhouette instantly dispelled all of Li Pingan's anger.

He remained silent for a moment, not taking a step forward, but simply standing there, seemingly unwilling to disrupt or disturb the scene, quietly waiting.

But the woman in the courtyard had already sensed the arrival of this uninvited guest. The ink on her brush had dried, so she casually placed the brush on the inkstone beside her, then sighed softly, without turning around, and said only:

"General Li, you are busy with military affairs, don't waste your time here."

Upon hearing her voice, Li Pingan's expression softened, and he said, "I just wanted to have a cup of tea, Master."

"Don't call me master. I severed all ties with you seventy years ago. I only took you as my disciple because I didn't know your identity; it was just a coincidence."

The woman in white frowned slightly.

"A teacher for a day is a father for life. No matter what, in my heart, you will always be my teacher."

Li Pingan smiled and said, "I'm just here for a cup of tea. Even Imperial Capital Yu wouldn't refuse me. Master, you're being a bit too unsympathetic."

"I heard you just slew a Demon Dao Inquiry Realm the Central Province Realm came from the Central Plains deep in the Great Wasteland Heaven, where there are Sage with their lineage. That Demon must also have a lineage. I imagine that battle must have been quite difficult. You should go back and rest early. I have my own things to attend to here."

The woman in white frowned.

Hearing this, Li Pingan smiled even more broadly and said, "It seems that Master isn't entirely indifferent to my affairs."

"Such a momentous event, even if I stay indoors, will eventually reach my ears." The woman in white's voice turned cold.

"Yu Emperor bestowed many rewards upon me this time, but they were all worldly possessions. If I truly desired something, he still wouldn't be willing to give it to me."

As if talking to himself, an inscrutable glint flashed in Li Pingan's eyes. He looked at the woman before him and said, "If this Dao Scale can be polished, it will surely become an excellent material for a sword hilt. Master, please be sure to accept it."

"If you continue to call me 'Master,' don't blame me for being impolite!"

At this moment, the woman in white's tone turned icy.

Li Pingan paused, his hand holding the Dao Scale Pause, his expression shifting slightly, before he finally said in a low voice, "Master, all these years you've rejected me, just because my surname is Li?"

As he said this, a hint of suppressed Anger crept into his voice.

The woman in white frowned and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with your surname. What happened back then is long Past, he doesn't care anymore, so naturally I won't care either. It's just that you have impure thoughts."

"Having impure thoughts? Does liking you mean having impure thoughts?"

Li Pingan gripped the Dao Scale in his hand, a hint of Anger in his eyes.

"That's right."

The woman in white answered without hesitation, her tone resolute.

When the Immortal Gate was severed, she vaguely learned what had happened from Yu Emperor. Overwhelmed with grief, she wandered the world.

Twenty or thirty years later, her cultivation level continued to rise, and she soon reached the Four Establishments Realm.

One day, as she wandered through the Famous Mountain, she sat alone on the Mountain Summit listening to the sound of the spring water when a young boy came up the mountain, filled with resentment.

During their brief time together, she learned that the boy had run away from home in a fit of anger, and that he had seen her Swordsmanship and wanted to become her student. After much pleading, she finally agreed.

Later, under her careful guidance, the boy's Heavenly Talent was also extremely high, and he easily grasped many Swordsmanship after being taught them only once.

The young man gradually showed his talent in the martial arts world; however, as they spent more time together, the way he looked at her seemed to change.

She also noticed this and informed the young man that he had completed his apprenticeship and sent him out to experience the mortal world.

Soon after, the boy's fame grew, and news of his true identity reached her ears. She then learned that the boy was actually Bloodline of the Divine General Residence Li Family, and even more so, Bloodline of the couple!

Then, the young man was found by the Divine General Residence, joined the army, made meritorious contributions, and soon became a figure of great glory.

When the boy climbed the mountain again to find her, she severed ties with him as his master and disciple.

All of this happened seventy years ago.

Those who reach their level of cultivation age extremely slowly, and if they wish, they can maintain their youthful appearance forever.

The boy from seventy years ago is now just a young man, while she hasn't changed much, only her eyes have gained a bit more maturity and tranquility.

Is he really as good as people say?

Li Pingan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.

The woman in white noticed his tone and said coldly, "You should leave!"

"Was it worth it? I heard he might have died long ago during the Immortal Gate Incident!"

Li Pingan said angrily.

Bass!

Suddenly, a sharp sword Sword Qi arrived in an instant, grazing his cheek.

A bloodstain appeared, cool to the touch, while warm blood slowly seeped down.

"Say that again, and I guarantee your head will fall off!"

The woman in white had already turned around, but her stunningly beautiful face was icy cold.

Li Pingan sensed the cold killing intent in his eyes, devoid of any of the Wenrou they once shared as master and disciple. His face turned grim; he knew that if he spoke again, the other party would truly do just that.

He had witnessed the other party's ruthlessness countless times before.

He gritted his teeth, threw the Dao Scale away, turned around, and descended the mountain without a word, his face grim.

By the time he jumped down the steps and returned to the foot of the mountain, the wound on his cheek had already healed.

Suddenly, a whooshing sound came flying in.

He looked back and saw that it was the Dao Scale he had dropped on the ground, which had fallen in an arc and landed at his feet, bouncing a few times.

His face grew even uglier, while the two women beside him stared in disbelief.

Li Pingan clenched his fist, drawing the Dao Scale from the ground into his palm. His anger blazed, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "One day you'll regret this!"

With that, he mounted his horse and turned to leave without looking back.

At the Mountain Summit, the woman in white trembled slightly as she loosened her grip on the sword. She gazed at the painting before her, her eyes sweeping over the room next door, where the walls were covered with paintings, all depicting a young boy.

However, the postures are all different.

Some are sitting on the eaves by Go Board, some are barbecuing in front of a fire, and some are laughing heartily with their mouths covered in grease.

Those were all the images she remembered.

"You'll come back... won't you...?"

She gazed at the painting in the room and murmured to herself.

Outside of Great Yu Province.

Li Pingan led his personal Personal Guards, who had been tasked with slaying demons, away and returned to Qing Prefecture.

He remained silent and gloomy the entire way.

His personal Personal Guards were all greatly surprised, and one of them asked, "Marshal, you have performed such a great service this time, hasn't Yu Emperor yet bestowed upon you the title of Heavenly General?"

"Yes, without your Marshal, Marshal, no one could have stopped that Demon, and the entire Great Yu would have been in grave danger. We merely slew it before it caused widespread casualties. Doesn't that count as a monumental achievement?"

"With the Marshal's merits and strength, I think he is qualified to be Heavenly General. I heard that when that Heavenly General was conferred his title, his cultivation level was the same as the Marshal's, both being at the Dao Inquiry Realm."

"Could it be that Yu Emperor wanted to suppress our Li Family and didn't want our family to produce two Heavenly General?"

"Shh!"

Li Pingan was riding with his head down, turned around and glared fiercely at the Personal Guards had spoken, his face cold as he said:

"When we return to Qing Prefecture, go and collect your own hundred military whips!"

The Personal Guards's expression changed slightly; he dared not object and simply obediently agreed.

Riding his horse along, as he approached Qing Prefecture, Li Pingan saw a towering statue standing outside the city walls of Qingzhou City.

The statue depicts a friendly-looking young man, yet he stands tall and straight, like a peerless Major General.

He glanced at it, his expression darkening.

The person depicted in this statue is known to everyone in the territory of Great Yu; he is Great Yu's only Heavenly General, Haotian.

When Li Pingan was a child, he noticed that his parents were always sullen and seemed to have something on their minds.

It is often said that no one knows a child better than their mother, but in reality, children often understand their parents better than parents understand their children.

He sensed from a very young age that his parents always had something on their minds.

Even when she sees him, her eyes are often unfocused, as if she's lost in thought about something else.

At first, he thought it was because he wasn't smart or outstanding enough that his parents were worried. So he worked hard and cultivated diligently. When he reached the Foundation Establishment at the age of six, he absorbed a large amount of Strange Blood and built a top-tier, Unparalleled foundation at the ninth level.

His cultivation speed was rapid, surpassing his peers and far exceeding that of other direct descendants in the Divine General Residence.

But at this moment, besides the praise, another name also came to his ears.

When his parents heard about his outstanding performance, they didn't smile as he had imagined; instead, their eyes showed sadness.

This feeling left him bewildered and puzzled.

He asked, but his parents just turned their heads away, avoiding the question, saying he must have seen wrong, and then forced a smile at him.

But he's not stupid; how could he not see the difference between a forced smile and True Heart one?

As he grew older, he heard more and more voices around him, and he seemed to understand that he had an exceptionally outstanding Older Brother.

However, the Older Brother betrayed the Divine General Residence and even refused to acknowledge the surname Li.

That Older Brother shone with brilliance; he was the only Heavenly General of Great Yu, and with his own strength, he overshadowed the brilliance of the Five Divine General Residences, a fact known All Under Heaven.

Only then did he realize the reason, and he was filled with resentment and pain. In his teens, he chose to run away from home. He wanted to become stronger and cultivate to a higher realm. He wanted to break that incredible cultivation record and catch up with the other person's footsteps.

With his efforts and the full support of the Divine General Residence's Mansion, his cultivation progressed extremely quickly. He then became a disciple of the current female Immortal Gate Sword Dao solidified his foundation in Sword Dao and made rapid progress in his swordsmanship.

As he distinguished himself in the military, he rose from Bo-rank Noble to Gong-rank Noble, and then to the title of God-rank Noble, achieving in just sixty years Li Family Ancestors had accomplished.

At the same time, he also inherited the Li Family True Dragon and became the pillar of the Li Family in this generation.

In the Li Family, everyone was proud of him.

But deep down, there was always a thorn in his heart.

In the Mortal World, he cultivated to the Dao Inquiry Realm, but gradually felt that he had reached a bottleneck and it would be difficult to improve further. He wanted to go to the world of the Immortal Gate and prove to the world that he could be even more outstanding, but he was currently limited by this.

"According to the records of the Jiang Family Ancestor of the Qian Dao Palace, above the Dao Inquiry Realm is the Saint Realm. Among Heavenly Realms, Sage are the strongest. Even she can only be considered Half-Saint..."

Li Pingan took a deep breath. This time, he planned to return to Qing Prefecture to recover from his injuries before exploring the Immortal Gate.

If he can become a saint, everything will be different, and everyone will acknowledge him!

The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the city gates, and the people along the street cheered as they saw the Crimson Dragon warhorse and the figure on it, shouting that Marshal Li had returned in triumph.
