The Sages Descended, and None Could Match Him
The Divine General Residence is located in the most prosperous area of Qingzhou City.
Just a few miles away lies the majestic Tan Palace Academy.
At that moment, the horse's hooves entered the front of the Divine General Residence. Li Pingan leaped down, and the servants and young men behind the gate hurriedly came forward to lead the horse.
Li Pingan returned to the Divine General Residence, removed his armor, and changed into his everyday clothes before going to the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard where his parents lived to pay his respects.
As Li Pingan entered the Mountains and Rivers Courtyard, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the southeast corner of the courtyard, where there was a side room. It looked quite old, and the dust that had accumulated inside was personally cleaned by his mother's personal maid, who never allowed anyone else to approach it.
Li Pingan knew that the old, dilapidated outbuilding was Forbidden Zone for the Li Family.
That was the place where his Older Brother, whom he had never met, used to live.
Uncle Zhao.
Seeing the old man walking towards him, Li Pingan nodded slightly, then awkwardly walked past him and went straight into the main house.
The room was empty, with only two maids standing guard outside the door.
Where is your mother?
"The mistress is in the vegetable garden behind the house. She knows you're coming back today and says she wants to cook you a meal of vegetables she grew herself."
A maidservant said respectfully.
Upon hearing this, the coldness and sharpness in Li Pingan's eyes softened instantly. Ever since he ran away from home as a teenager, when his parents found him, he saw his mother crying her eyes out. Only then did he realize that he was just as important to his mother.
Since that incident, he has matured a lot and quietly abided by the family rules, no longer deliberately misbehaving to attract attention.
Where is Father?
He glanced around again and sensed Aura his father, Li Tiangang, was not in the courtyard.
"The Gong-rank Noble has gone to the Youth Training Camp to train his troops," a maid replied respectfully.
Li Pingan frowned slightly. Although this expedition to kill Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm was not difficult for him, it was still an extremely dangerous matter. Now that he had returned in triumph, his father had not come to inquire about his safety.
However, he was already used to this, and judging by the time, today was indeed a day for Youth Training.
He didn't say anything, turned around with his hands behind his back, and went to the vegetable garden behind the house.
From afar, he saw a woman in her early thirties, dressed in a dark green embroidered gold inner garment. She had fair skin and a beautiful face, and appeared gentle and elegant. She was squatting in the vegetable garden, pulling vegetables with her sleeves rolled up.
Li Pingan stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't get your hands dirty with this kind of rough work."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingqing turned her head, saw Li Pingan's appearance, and a Wenrou smile appeared in her eyes as she said:
"You're back. It's just some mud, nothing dirty. But you, don't get the golden robes Divine General upon you by Yu Emperor dirty."
Li Pingan shook his head slightly and said, "These matters can be left to the servants."
Ji Qingqing didn't dwell on these matters any further and asked, "Did you just get back? Did you go to pay your respects to your Second Master and Fifth Master?"
Hearing her words, Li Pingan frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "I'll go later."
Seeing his expression, Ji Qingqing knew he harbored resentment and was unwilling to approach the two men. She said, "Your Second Master and Fifth Master are the pillars of the Li Family. They both love you dearly. Don't hold a grudge against them."
Li Pingan's eyes showed a hint of displeasure, but he said indifferently, "It's not a matter of holding a grudge. Their merits are recorded in the Ancestral Shrine. Now that they are enjoying their old age, it's not like we've treated them unfairly."
Seeing his expression, Ji Qingqing smiled wryly and said, "You said they treat you kindly and have never mistreated you, so why do you have such a big problem with them?"
Upon hearing this, Li Pingan's eyes turned slightly cold. He gazed at his mother, but his expression softened slightly as he said:
Although they loved me dearly since I was little, the way they looked at me was like looking at someone else's shadow.
"I am Li Pingan, and I hate that kind of look!"
Ji Qingqing's expression changed slightly. Remembering that the other person had run away from home before, she immediately stopped talking and smiled, saying, "Let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, the vegetables are all picked. Mother will personally cook your favorite braised Braised Meat with Green Beans."
The coldness on Li Pingan's face disappeared, and he nodded with a smile.
Upon returning to the courtyard, while his mother, Ji Qingqing, was busy in the small Kitchen, Li Pingan heard the sounds of fighting and headed towards another Martial Arts Arena within the mansion.
I had just been discharged from the hospital when I encountered an obese middle-aged man carrying a wine gourd, swaggering over.
Upon seeing him, the other person opened their slightly tipsy eyes a little and smiled, "It's Ping An. Is the demon-slaying over? What good things did His Majesty bestow this time? I'm a bit short on cash lately, do you have any gold to help me out?"
As he spoke, he leaned closer, his breath reeking of alcohol.
Li Pingan frowned and said coldly, "Brother Yuanzhao, have you been drinking and carousing at Brothels again? You are a general of Qing Prefecture, holding the rank of first grade. If you spend your days like this, it will inevitably cause gossip among the people of Qing Prefecture. It will be seen as oppressing the local people and damaging the prestige of our Divine General Residence."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man chuckled and draped his hand over the man's shoulder, saying, "Even your father doesn't care about me, so why are you starting to care? You're becoming more and more like your father."
Li Pingan's expression changed slightly. He pushed away Li Yuanzhao's hand and said angrily, "Li Yuanzhao, don't be so presumptuous. You have repeatedly violated Family Law. If it weren't for your academic Merit and Fame, don't force me to punish you by sending you to the ancestral hall!"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered, he gave him a wry look, then shook his head, muttered "boring," and swayed as he turned and left.
Li Pingan stared coldly at his departing figure. After a long while, once the other man was far away, he left from the other side. He smelled the lingering smell of alcohol along the way, but felt irritated.
Li Yuanzhao staggered to another courtyard and saw a woman dressed in a moon-white robe sitting there. He immediately smiled and said:
"Sister Unparalleled, could you lend me some gold?"
The woman opened her eyes, glanced at him, and frowned, saying, "Are you planning to waste your days like this?"
Li Yuanzhao shrugged slightly, then said, seemingly contradicting himself, "You know, my husband is from the Xia Family, and he's very strict."
"After all these years, you're still only at the Unique Skill Realm, without comprehending the Dao Domain. Now, the Demons of the Great Wasteland Heaven Central Province are being forced to hide and flee everywhere by the strongest Mortal World there. Our Great Yu is also not at peace. It's time for you to shoulder some responsibility," Li Wushuang said in a deep voice.
Li Yuanzhao grinned slightly and said with a smile, "As long as Ping An is here, no Demon at the Dao Inquiry Realm is a match for him, unless the Tai Sui God of Central Province comes in person. You know my aptitude; reaching this point is already the best I can do."
Li Wushuang gazed at him and said, "But he changed your fate."
Upon Li Yuanzhao suddenly fell silent. The slight intoxication in his eyes seemed to vanish, leaving only a dark slit through which his expression could not be seen.
After a while, his expression returned to casualness, and he chuckled drunkenly, "No gold? Never mind, Sister Unparalleled. I'll head back now. My wife should have already prepared the washboard for me, hehe."
With that, he turned and left.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, striking his ear.
He reached out and grabbed it, only to find it was a heavy bag.
He knew as soon as he touched it that it was a bag of gold.
"Don't mess with Li Pingan anymore. He's not Li Hao; he might really punish you."
Li Wushuang's voice came from behind, tinged with a sigh.
Clearly, she had already sensed what had happened in the passageway outside the courtyard.
Li Yuanzhao's body trembled slightly. After a long silence, he smiled and said, "I understand."
In the evening, the Divine General Residence was extremely lively, with many distinguished guests visiting to offer their congratulations.
For the Divine General Residence, Li Pingan's expeditions and victories were already commonplace and they were used to it.
However, other powerful Lineage would not miss such a rare opportunity to curry favor, and they would all prepare lavish gifts to offer their congratulations.
The Divine General Residence was brightly lit and bustling with activity.
At the banquet in the main house, Li Pingan sat beside his parents. He had already eaten the stewed Braised Meat with Green Beans that his mother had cooked for him that afternoon, so he didn't have much of an appetite for the rich dishes on the table. He only took a few bites.
Beside her, Ji Qingqing was also quietly eating her food.
On the other side sat a burly man with a square face and an air of authority.
Guests would frequently come to offer congratulations and toasts, but the guests would only take a small sip and react rather coldly.
"Any promising young talents emerging from today's Youth Training?"
While other guests at the table discussed how the Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm were wreaking havoc on the border and how terrifying they were, subtly highlighting Li Pingan's divine prowess, Li Pingan and his family appeared relatively calm at the main table.
Li Pingan picked up a piece of vegetable with his chopsticks and casually asked his father beside him.
Li Tiangang nodded slightly and said, "There are two promising talents. Give them proper training next year, and they might be able to join your Ping Battalion."
"Then I will have to trouble Father to instruct me."
Li Pingan said politely.
Li Tiangang seemed to sense his emotions and turned to ask, "You weren't injured in the battle against that Demon, were you?"
Li Pingan couldn't help but smile, wondering if it was too late to ask now.
"Demons and Demon at the Dao Inquiry Realm are not worth mentioning," he said calmly.
Seeing his reaction, Li Tiangang felt relieved and said, "Indeed, you are now at the Dao Inquiry Realm, your Words Become Law, and you are not far from becoming a legendary Sage. The Dao Inquiry Realm is not difficult for you."
Upon hearing this, Li Pingan remained calm, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He couldn't tell if the other person genuinely thought highly of him or simply didn't care about the matter at all, given their nonchalant attitude.
Beside her, Ji Qingqing, with her keen insight, immediately said, "Although Ping An is also at the Dao Inquiry Realm, Demon who can cultivate to the Dao Inquiry Realm might have some hidden trump cards. We still need to be careful, otherwise we might suffer a great loss."
Li Tiangang shook his head and said, "Ping An possesses all the Cultivation Resources of my Great Yu, and is equipped with Divine Armor Divine Weapons and armor. Yu Emperor even bestowed upon him the Imperial Family Cultivation Method. He is my Great Yu God of War. Under the same realm, it is impossible for him to be defeated by Demons."
Upon hearing this, Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, but with so many people at the table, she couldn't say anything. Instead, she said to Li Pingan:
"My child, remember what your mother told you: be careful in everything you do."
Li Pingan smiled at her, nodded, and then stopped talking and lowered his head to eat.
Seeing his wife's kind face, Li Tiangang couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He got up from his seat and said, "I'm full, I'm going to rest now."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Both he and the Li Family were already used to such victory celebrations.
Several days later.
Suddenly, an urgent report arrived from the Frontier Qing Prefecture and was delivered to the Divine General Residence in Qingzhou City.
The urgent report was delivered to Li Pingan, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard, contemplating the Great Dao.
Upon opening the urgent report, his usually calm expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Three Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm?"
In the Frontier city, Yu Emperor had the Bureau of Astronomy conduct research for many years. Decades ago, they finally developed a formation that, while not effective in defending against enemies, could detect invading Demons.
This formation consumes extremely precious materials, so it is only used in the Frontier areas of various states, and can detect Demons at the highest level of the Dao Inquiry Realm.
After this formation appeared, it immediately and significantly reduced the casualty rate of border guards.
After all, being able to learn Intelligence the Demon's realm in advance makes it easier to mobilize appropriate forces; otherwise, if the enemy is Demon at the Four Establishments Realm but is mistaken for the Three Immortalities Realm, the vanguard will likely suffer.
These Demons are cunning by nature. They conceal their Aura, feign weakness to lure enemies, and hunt down more soldiers, devouring their flesh and blood.
But even concealing Aura is useless against an array.
The Demons he had previously slain were sent to fight because the Demons' Dao Inquiry Realm had been detected. Otherwise, based on the massacre caused by those Demons and the old battle plan from a hundred years ago, they would not have directly dispatched him, the Great Yu God of War, to cross millions of miles to fight.
"Could they be accomplices of that Demon from before?"
Li Pingan gripped the emergency report, a dark glint in his eyes. The sudden appearance of three Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm was extremely unusual.
He knew that these Demons also had their own networks of connections.
"Go and report the situation to His Majesty."
Li Pingan quickly walked out of the cultivation room, Pause for a moment, and then said, "Also, go and inform the Sword Immortal on Spirit Sword Mountain and ask her to come and help."
Having said that, he raised his hand and summoned the gleaming golden helmet and weapons, then immediately ordered his Personal Guards to assemble.
The news spread throughout the Divine General Residence, and everyone in the various courtyards was shocked to learn that it was the Aura of three Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm.
Ji Qingqing hurriedly said, "Ping An, this is so sudden. Let the army go and investigate first, just in case there's more hidden!"
"That's right, don't be reckless or overconfident, you can't fall."
Li Tiangang also said in a deep voice.
Only now did Li Pingan realize his importance in his father's eyes. He smirked and calmly said, "I know what I'm doing."
Having said that, he led his Personal Guards into battle.
I'll go too.
"Heavenly Gang, I'm entrusting the Ancestral Shrine to you for safekeeping."
Shortly after Li Pingan left, two aged figures stepped out; they were Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng.
They were dressed in simple everyday clothes, but their expressions were extremely solemn.
The two brothers exchanged a glance, and without saying a word, returned to their respective homes, retrieved their weapons and armor that had been gathering dust for years, and went back to the battlefield.
A century has passed, and they have all entered the Dao Inquiry Realm. Three demons in the Dao Inquiry Realm Demon attacked, and they could not bear to leave their descendants to face it alone.
Meanwhile, on the Frontier of Qing Prefecture.
Demon Clouds loomed, swallowing up the clouds in the sky and the clear blue horizon, plunging the world into darkness.
Amidst the violent tremors of the ground, a colossal Demon, as large as a hill, strode forward.
Its size is like a giant tortoise, but its body is made of rocky lumps, exuding a terrifying Demon Aura. As it walks, it leaves huge pits in the ground. When it encounters cities along the way, its enormous size is taller than the cities, causing the people in the cities to scream.
Li Pingan was the first to arrive. Upon seeing this scene, he was filled with shock and anger, and immediately drew his sword to kill.
Following this Demon, another Demon covered in Thunder Light rushed out and attacked Li Pingan.
At this moment, Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng, who had caught up, quickly took action, each entangling one of the Demons, giving Li Pingan time to kill Demon.
Amidst the fierce fighting, the vast plains beyond the Frontier were scarred with wounds, the city was shattered by Thunder Light, and countless defending soldiers perished.
Just as the three were locked in fierce combat, suddenly, two terrifying Auras emanated from the distant horizon.
Sensing that Aura, the three people who were engaged in fierce battle all changed their expressions and looked over in horror.
The three Demons were somewhat frightened, letting out low growls and howls as they tried to get rid of the three.
The Frontier wall was broken, and a monstrous dragon with three heads, dragging a trail of highly poisonous green Poison Mist behind it, was rushing towards them.
Further behind, in the distance, Dao Light pierced the air and struck the Demon's back, knocking it to the ground.
"This is... the Dragon Emperor of the Central Province Marshland?"
When Li Pingan saw the three-headed Dragon Demon, he was shocked, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
He once wandered through the Central Province, wanting to surpass the shadow that walked ahead of him and become the strongest in the Mortal World. However, he encountered setbacks in the Central Province, where he met the strongest Prodigy in the Mortal World, as well as many powerful Demons, including this Dragon Emperor.
This is someone who has already stepped halfway into the Sage Entry; only the female Sword Immortal Ren Qianqian could possibly fight against him.
Soon, Li Pingan saw that the person chasing after the Dragon Emperor was a young man with hair flying in the wind. His eyes were arrogant, and his pupils contained a broken light, as if countless strange colors were gathered in his eyes. It was the legendary All-Heavens Divine Eyes.
During his wanderings in the Central Province, he heard of the name and experiences of this strongest Mortal World.
The opponent was even more Prodigy and terrifying than the shadow he was chasing. He entered the Heaven and Man Realm at the age of thirteen, reached the Dao Inquiry Realm at the age of twenty, and by the age of thirty, he had swept through the top Sects of the major Divine Dynasties in the Central Province, never suffering a defeat. He was undoubtedly the number one strongman in the Mortal World.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually came here.
He suddenly realized that the Dragon Emperor and the three Demons before him were most likely the ones who had been chasing the Dragon Emperor and had fled all the way here.
At this moment, Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng also recognized the identities of the Dragon Emperor and the young man. Their expressions changed, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The young man, known as the Mortal Tai Sui, was ultimately Human Race. With him present, the calamity posed by these Demons could be averted.
Before their very eyes, the Tai Sui God, wielding Divine Sword as if it were Thunder and Lightning, suddenly slashed out. The Sword Light was dazzling, seemingly cutting through space, and instantly severed the Dragon Emperor's two heads.
"Spare me..."
The Dragon Emperor, filled with grief and despair, trembled and wailed on the ground.
At this moment, the majesty of the Demon Emperor, which had existed for tens of thousands of years, vanished, leaving only humble begging.
But everyone knows that if given the chance, it will surely return even more brutally in the future.
As the Sword Light flashed, the Dragon Emperor's body was sliced open, and the power of shattering and annihilation within his flesh rendered it unable to regenerate.
Seeing the renowned Demon Emperor from outside Central Province fall like this, Li Pingan, Li Muxiu, and the others were somewhat shocked. It was the first time they had witnessed the power of this Tai Sui God, and he was indeed the strongest among Mortal World.
At this moment, the Tai Sui God also caught sight of these people. His eyes remained cold and unchanged. He simply raised his hand slightly, and with a sweep of three Sword Lights, he instantly traversed tens of thousands of miles.
The three fleeing Demons at the Dao Inquiry Realm were immediately caught up by the Sword Qi and killed on the spot.
A catastrophe that had just Descent Qing Prefecture vanished just like that.
Intelligence about this catastrophe hadn't even reached the Imperial City Imperial Capital yet.
Li Pingan was somewhat dazed, but he quickly regained his composure and stepped forward, saying, "Thank you for your help. I am Li Pingan from the Yu Dynasty. Greetings, Tai Sui God."
"The Yu Dynasty..."
The Tai Sui God, raised an eyebrow, sized up the other person, and seemed to understand something.
"Thank you for your help. Would you mind coming into my residence for a while so that we can properly express our gratitude?"
At this moment, Li Muxiu also came over, cupping his hands in a friendly manner.
The Tai Sui God frowned, about to refuse, when he suddenly sensed something and looked up at the distant horizon.
Suddenly, Dao Gate appeared in the Cloudmist above Qingzhou City and then slowly opened.
This sudden and strange phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of some of the city's residents. As exclamations arose, more people noticed the scene, and the entire city looked up at the sky in shock.
A legend from a century ago resurfaced, and some elderly people exclaimed excitedly, "The Immortal Gate! That's the Immortal Gate!"
"The Immortal Gate has opened again. Could it be that the Heavenly General has returned?"
Many people were shocked, never expecting the Immortal Gate to open above Qingzhou City. They couldn't help but feel excited, even fantasizing that they would be chosen by immortals and taken to the Immortal Gate to cultivate.
Perhaps I seem ordinary, but in reality I am a rare Prodigy, just a pearl hidden in the dust.
At the Frontier, the young man, Tai Sui God, had a glint in his eyes. He didn't speak, but flew straight towards Qingzhou City.
Seeing his actions, Li Pingan, Li Muxiu, and the others were somewhat stunned, and quickly followed.
As they drew closer, they also sensed the strange phenomena on Qingzhou City and were immediately shocked.
"That is... the Immortal Gate."
When Li Muxiu saw the door shrouded in Cloudmist, he paused for a moment, then suddenly his body trembled with excitement, and he burst forth at full speed.
Li Qingzheng also saw it, his eyes lit up, and he also sped off.
Li Pingan suddenly realized that the Elder Er had actually surpassed him in speed. Hearing their excited voices, he felt a tremor in his heart.
Immortal Gate?
A hundred years ago, that Dao Light figure vanished from the Immortal Gate.
Could it be that he has returned?
Li Pingan's expression immediately became extremely complicated.
He couldn't quite describe the feeling he had towards that figure. There was hatred, but also a strong desire to see her. He wanted to see for himself if she was truly as Perfection as everyone said.
The Elder Er beside him sped past him, and although he felt he was rushing over as well, his speed seemed to be getting slower and slower.
The dazzling immortal Immortal Gate gradually became clear in his vision. In a daze, he seemed to see an unparalleled figure standing before the gate, looking down on the mortal Mortal World, looking down on everything, and looking down on him as well.
His gaze was intense, like that of a god, impossible to look directly into.
But he quickly realized it was just an illusion.
As he approached Qing Prefecture, he saw the Immortal Gate slowly open, and then figures emerged from within.
Those figures, like Cloudmist, drifted out from the Immortal Gate and then appeared in the sky, accompanied by terrifying phenomena.
Divine General Residence, Li Tiangang and the others also looked up at this scene, all shocked, but a certain light shone in their eyes.
"This Immortal Gate isn't in the Imperial Capital, but in Qing Prefecture. Could it be that it sensed trouble in Qing Prefecture?"
Inside the mansion, He Jianlan, standing among the crowd, had an excited look in her eyes.
In a Brothel in the city, a middle-aged man drinking suddenly Pause, his wine glass falling from his hand and spilling the expensive wine onto the carpet, but he didn't notice at all.
He stared blankly at the Immortal Gate, and then his eyes gradually welled up with tears, turned red, and his whole body trembled.
Meanwhile, behind the Immortal Gate Lands of the Saints.
The figures of the Source Ancestor and other saints did not move; they Descent only in avatars.
Now that the Ancient Demons Descent the Lands of the Saints at any moment, they would be even less likely to go to the Mortal World at this critical juncture and lose their Incense Power.
Only God King who has passed through the Immortal Gate achieves Extreme Dao Sanctification; even if he were to descend to the Mortal World, the damage to him would be negligible.
Therefore, among all the incarnations of Sage, his Aura was the most terrifying and profound.
"This is Qing Prefecture, the location is correct, that's the Divine General Residence, the Li Family."
The avatars of the saints stood in the Void, looking down at the palm-sized city below. The entire city could be flattened and razed to the ground with a wave of their hands.
"Walk."
The God King led the way Descent.
The Source Ancestor avatar followed closely behind, and the other saints descended one after another, concealing their Auras, and the strange phenomena around them gradually disappeared into the Heaven and Earth.
"Look! An immortal is emerging from the Immortal Gate!"
"Those immortals have all gone to the Divine General Residence!"
"Truly worthy of being the Divine General Residence of Yu the Great Yu! Even Immortal Deity come to pay their respects!"
Inside the city, many people were overjoyed and excited. Some of the bolder ones rushed towards the Divine General Residence, while the majority knelt down on the spot and prostrated themselves in the direction of the Divine General Residence.
At this moment, all the saints Descent upon the Divine General Residence.
The Divine Array outside the mansion was not even activated in the face of the power of the saints.
"Fellow immortals..."
Li Tiangang stood at the front of the crowd, looking at the man in the lead, clad in crimson Battle Armor. He felt a wave of heat emanating from the man, as if it could melt the Heaven and Earth, and his heart pounded with fear.
He was now also at the Dao Inquiry Realm, but the man before him gave him the feeling that he could be overturned with just a breath.
"An immortal?"
Upon hearing the ignorant address, the God King raised an eyebrow slightly. It seemed that the Great Yu Dynasty was quite closed off about the affairs of the Lands of the Saints.
"We are the All Heavens Saints."
The God King said that if the word "immortal" had only existed in legends in the past, he wouldn't have been so wary of it. But now that he had been to the Ancient Road and knew that Immortal Deity truly existed, he dared not rashly accept this identity and felt somewhat apprehensive.
"The All Heavens Saints?"
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Divine General Residence was stunned into silence.
They knew little about the Land of Myriad Heavens, but they knew that the strongest beings in the Heaven and Earth were the Sages.
Seeing their shocked expressions, the God King couldn't help but find it amusing. He hadn't reacted this strongly when he initially mistook them for Immortal Deity; did they perhaps think Immortal Deity were inferior to Sage?
At this moment, Divine General Residence, the young Tai Sui God had already arrived at lightning speed.
Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng followed closely behind, while Li Pingan lagged behind at the very back.
"All the saints."
The young Tai Sui God had a calm gaze and bowed in greeting. In his heart, he felt a sense of familiarity with the Sacred Capital before him, a deep-seated sense of kinship. However, for some reason, another subconscious part of him rejected this feeling of kinship, as if something terrible would happen if they got too close.
Seeing the Tai Sui God's respectful demeanor, Li Pingan, Li Muxiu, and the others' expressions changed.
The strongest human being, Mortal World had just slaughtered Demons like dogs, hadn't even given them a second glance, yet now he was so humble.
However, they all knew that no matter how strong this Tai Sui God was, he was only Half-Saint, while these people in front of them were true Sage.
At the same time, a crack appeared in the distance, and a figure quickly stepped out from it, holding a long sword. It was Ren Qianqian, who had rushed over from outside the Imperial Capital.
She had just received the message from the Eight Directions Decree Order and immediately rushed over at top speed.
She knew that Li Hao absolutely did not want to see anything happen to the people of Qing Prefecture, after all, he often mentioned the local delicacies to her, and even praised the crispy snacks from a certain street stall.
"Immortal Gate? Sages?"
Ren Qianqian was stunned when she saw the Immortal Gate above the Divine General Residence. She hadn't expected to see this scene so soon after arriving here.
Immediately afterward, her fingers gripping the sword hilt tightened abruptly, her blood surged, and she couldn't contain herself. Could it be that he had returned?
She sensed the Aura of Sage transcending the mortal realm, and her heart surged with excitement. Had Li Hao already become a saint after all these years?
Although she was pleasantly surprised, she quickly thought of Li Hao's Heavenly Talent and realized that this seemed to be normal.
It would be strange if the other party hadn't become a saint, since he himself had already reached the level of Half-Saint.
Without lingering, Ren Qianqian quickly arrived at the Divine General Residence's Mansion.
"That's right, I've come here today because I need your help with something."
The Source Ancestor spoke, knowing that the God King was not one to speak softly, so he stepped forward and said gently.
Upon hearing his words, the people from the Divine General Residence, still in shock, were stunned once again.
The saints Descent, and you say you need their help?
Li Pingan searched the crowd but did not see the figure.
A century has passed, and even if appearances change, they won't change too much. Although he had never met that Older Brother, his appearance was already imprinted in his heart.
After all, you can see that Older Brother's statue in any city. His statue has become the guardian talisman of the cities in various states of Great Yu, with the function of suppressing demons and warding off evil.
Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng frantically searching through the crowd, but they couldn't find Li Hao either, so they were stunned. But when they heard this, their eyes narrowed, and they vaguely felt that the arrival of these Sage seemed to be related to Li Hao.
"What is it? Please speak freely."
Li Tiangang hurriedly said that even though he had led armies in battle for many years and was calm and collected, he was still somewhat confused when facing the saints in front of him.
"Now, a great calamity Descent the Heavenly Realms, and ancient Demons have invaded. We would like to request that you all ask the Lord Haotian to lend a helping hand and save the Heavenly Realms."
Source Ancestor said calmly.
After these words were spoken, the Divine General Residence fell silent.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that the arrival of the saints was due to a catastrophe Descent upon the Heavenly Realms worlds within the Immortal Gate.
But, Lord Haotian?
Upon hearing this title, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat.
Standing in mid-air Divine General Residence, Li Pingan's pupils contracted slightly, unable to believe what he was seeing and hearing.
"This, this Sage, who is the Lord Haotian you just mentioned?"
Li Tiangang's voice trembled slightly, as if he was overthinking things.
Ji Qingqing, standing beside her, covered her mouth, her eyes reddening.
Source Ancestor smiled and said, "It is Haotian. You are all his relatives and friends. This calamity was caused by our carelessness. Lord Haotian is blaming us and is unwilling to take action. I ask that you all help to persuade him, after all, this concerns the lives of all living beings in the Heavenly Realms and will also affect the Mortal World."
He was telling the truth. Now he knew that only by telling the truth and showing a sincere attitude could he possibly gain Li Hao's forgiveness.
He didn't care at all whether he would lose face in front of these people.
The dragon paid no heed to the gaze of snakes and insects.
Upon hearing Source Ancestor's words, everyone in the mansion was once again dumbfounded and speechless.
They doubted whether they had misheard or misseen.
"What kind of calamity is this? Is there no one in the Heavenly Realms besides him who can solve it?"
Li Tiangang couldn't help but ask.
He even doubted that his previous understanding was wrong, and that the Sage was not the highest being in the Heavenly Realms, but that there were higher beings above him.
Upon hearing his words, the Source Ancestor turned to look at the assembled saints, then sighed softly and said to him:
"Besides him, there is indeed no one who can solve this. We are already the strongest force in Heavenly Realms. Even if we fight to the death, it will be useless. Only he can do it."
The entire mansion was silent.
Standing outside the mansion, Ren Qianqian was somewhat taken aback when she heard these words, but her heart was racing. She felt excited, and at the same time, she had a sense of familiarity.
The person she was searching for was indeed still as radiant as ever, so dazzling that she could hardly believe it time and time again.
But this seems to be the most familiar feeling.
Li Pingan froze, feeling a sudden buzzing in his mind, leaving him somewhat blank.
He struggled to understand what the other person was saying, but the meaning he grasped seemed to explain only one thing.
The figure walking ahead of him, was that the strongest being in Heavenly Realms?
"This..."
Li Tiangang opened his mouth slightly, but could not utter a word.
Source Ancestor was very patient and explained the situation carefully. After everyone had gradually adapted and come to their senses, he suggested taking everyone to the Heavenly Realms together.
Faced with his proposal, Li Tiangang and the others did not know how to refuse.
Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing as they sensed that this matter was not so simple.
They knew that child too well; if the Heavenly Realms were to suffer a catastrophe, he would never stand idly by.
The opponent guarded Heaven's Gate Pass alone. Even when Liang Prefecture was in trouble, he still slayed demons for thousands of miles. In the end, disregarding his own safety, he lured the Demons into the Mo River, and almost perished.
That child's blood will always be hot; it will never be so cold-blooded.
Li Tiangang couldn't find a reason to refuse Source Ancestor's suggestion, and Li Muxiu and Li Qingzheng also offered to go along.
Source Ancestor was more than happy to oblige, and took everyone from the entire Divine General Residence with him, including the maids and servants.
As for the spirits of the Li Family Ancestors in the Ancestral Shrine, he also moved the Ancestral Shrine to his own Saint Domain.
With the entire Divine General Residence emptied, the Source Ancestor promised that if this matter were resolved, the Li Family would be free to travel Heavenly Realms and the Mortal World.
Before leaving, Source Ancestor instructed the young Tai Sui God to guard Great Yu, which completely relieved the Li Family of their worries.
Upon hearing this instruction, the young man, Tai Sui God, was clearly unwilling and said, "I'll go too!"
"Now, we won't stop you anymore. You can go over after this is over."
Source Ancestor said to him.
Hearing his assurance, and with the Law Saint's nod, the stubbornness in the young Tai Sui God's eyes faded, and he nodded in agreement.
Now, it's pointless to stop the First Saint Infant from going to the Heavenly Realms. They had previously wanted him to comprehend the Sixth Extreme Realm in the Mortal World, but now that the Second Saint Infant has comprehended it, it has brought great disaster to the Heavenly Realms.
Seeing that the Tai Sui God could only submit before the saints, Li Pingan's feelings became even more complicated.
"There are still some people, Saint Jiang, go and let your descendants go over there."
The Source Ancestor gave instructions to an incarnation of a Sage.
The Sage gazed upon Qing Prefecture and the Mortal World, his eyes filled with vicissitudes and complexity. Upon hearing the words of the Source Ancestor, he nodded silently and then vanished from the spot.
In the Imperial Capital of the Great Yu Dynasty, in the back garden, an old man was playing Chess alone when suddenly, a ripple appeared in the Void.
The old man's expression changed, and he suddenly looked up, exuding an imposing aura.
But soon, he saw the figure that had appeared.
"You are... an ancestor?"
Yu Emperor was stunned, never expecting that the figure that suddenly appeared was actually the Jiang Family Ancestor.
He quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly knelt down in worship.
The Jiang Family Ancestor had long known of the deeds of their descendant and greatly admired and loved this outstanding descendant, sighing softly as they said to him:
"No need for formalities. Your years of painstaking efforts have enabled my resurrection; you deserve immense credit."
Yu Emperor was thrilled and said, "As long as our ancestors can be resurrected and the Jiang Family can regain their glory, all the sacrifices will be worthwhile."
The Jiang Family Ancestor said in a low voice, "I'll take you somewhere. Come with me first, and we'll talk as we walk."
Yu Emperor was taken aback and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
The Jiang Family Ancestor didn't say anything, but simply wrapped his body up and flew towards Qing Prefecture.
On the way, he explained to Yu Emperor that he had been in Seclusion after his resurrection and therefore had not been able to attend to Mortal World.
Yu Emperor was flattered by his explanation. Then, the Jiang Family Ancestor spoke of the Heavenly Realms. Yu Emperor listened with a shocked expression and finally fell silent.
The saints came prepared and quickly gathered everyone together before returning to the Immortal Gate.
Passing through the Immortal Gate, Yu Emperor and the Li Family arrived Immortal Gate.
Besides the Li Family members, there was also Xia Linglong, the Family Head of the Xia Family. She had met Li Hao several times and was brought by the saints as a persuader.
"The Great Wasteland Heaven Ji Family is sending the Yin Yang Supreme Saint to invite them."
School of Names Saint have said.
Source Ancestor nodded slightly, and then led everyone to set off.
"This is the Land of Myriad Heavens?"
"Such abundant power! It feels like this power is automatically gathering into my body without any cultivation. This is simply unbelievable."
"Wouldn't everyone be able to become Warrior here?"
Upon arriving at this place, everyone felt the extraordinary nature of the Land of Myriad Heavens and was extremely surprised.
Li Muxiu and Ren Qianqian followed the crowd, carefully sensing the Land of Myriad Heavens along the way, while cautiously inquiring about the situation of the Heavenly Realms.
The saints hoped they would persuade Li Hao, so they treated them with kindness and politeness.
The God King remained cold and aloof, and no one dared to speak to him.
"I've heard that Haotian was assassinated by Sage. Esteemed Sages, I'd like to know if this is true. How is that Sage doing now? How did that child, all alone and helpless in the Heavenly Realms, manage to survive?"
Yu Emperor knew more about the affairs of the Heavenly Realms than the Li Family, and there were some secrets he hadn't told Li Family, but now he couldn't help but ask about them.
Upon hearing his words, the saints exchanged glances, and the Source Ancestor made no attempt to conceal his thoughts, saying:
"That Sage has already been slain by the Lord Haotian. His rise through the Heavenly Realms was too rapid; in just over a decade, no one could rival him..."
