The Source Ancestor and God King Emerged
"It's a pity, but a dead genius is useless no matter Prodigy they are."
The Silver-Helmed Sword-Wearing Youth said in a deep voice, "You've seen that projection too. The hope is slim. If you take the Immortal Severing Pill, your cultivation level won't recover for a while. That Demon King Kui might not be able to withstand us with just our Military Formation and Immortal Treasure. This matter is too risky. Is it worth it?"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman said softly, "I promised him, but I broke my promise. I won't be at peace until I see this matter end with my own eyes! Besides, with this person's Heavenly Talent, to be able to cultivate to this level in the Pseudo-Realm, unless he has the help of Immortal Emperor Dao Heritage, he can most likely be determined to be King-Level Son of Heaven!"
"If we could bring back a King-Level Son of Heaven, Immortal Merit even surpasses that of slaying 100,000 Ancient Demon at the True Immortal Realm, wouldn't that be worth the risk? If it succeeds, we'll split our Immortal Merit fifty-fifty, how about it?"
Upon hearing "King-Level Son of Heaven," the young man with the silver-embroidered sword's eyes flickered slightly, and he hesitated.
"Alright, I'll give you the time it takes for One Incense Stick. Hurry up."
The silver-helmeted youth said in a deep voice.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman had been waiting for these words. Upon hearing them, she smiled, and for a moment, the quiet and desolate Ancient Road and canyon became bright and dazzling.
She then decisively took out the Immortal Severing Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Aren't you worried about getting into trouble yourself..." The silver-helmeted youth couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
"It's alright, my gun will protect me."
The Red Tassel Spear Woman smiled calmly, her expression returning to its aloofness. However, the Immortal Power within her body rapidly contracted, absorbed like a sponge into a certain place. Soon, her Aura changed, her imposing presence diminished, and she addressed the Silver Tassel Camp Battalion subordinates from before:
"Follow me!"
As they spoke, they took the lead and passed through the Mysterious Female Gate.
The dozen or so silver-armored warriors and the general hurriedly followed, secretly delighted.
This is a rare opportunity to get so close to the commander, so I must perform well.
As they left, the saints were left standing there in a daze, somewhat at a loss and incredulous. At this moment, everyone could see that the woman of extremely high status clearly cared a great deal about Lord Haotian, and was even willing to risk going to check and confirm his death.
Once the Red Tassel Spear Woman and the others entered the Mysterious Female Gate, the Name Saint and the others exchanged glances and cautiously revealed their thoughts.
The Silver-Helmed Sword-Wearing Youth glanced at them. These Saint-Level wanting to join the Heavenly Palace wasn't entirely impossible. He nodded in agreement, simply saying:
"Although I can bring you back to the Heavenly Palace, whether you will receive training depends on your own aptitude. If your aptitude is mediocre, don't complain or regret it."
The saints shook their heads repeatedly, indicating that they would not. They were all very confident in themselves, after all, they were all Prodigy had cultivated themselves into saints step by step and were once extremely famous. It was only when compared with a monster like Lord Haotian that they paled in comparison.
On the other side.
Inside the Ancient Hall within the Mysterious Female Gate.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman led a dozen or so soldiers from the Silver Tassel Camp to this place, where they saw Ancient Demon Corpse scattered everywhere, all killed by her own soldiers.
She glanced at it, then spread her Divine Sense and quickly realized that this Ancient Hall was somewhat unusual.
"This appears to be the palace of an Immortal King..."
A hint of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the Red Tassel Spear Woman. Such an existence would be a powerful figure who would govern a region of the True Realm.
However, this palace Years for too long, and apart from a few remaining traces of its former charm, it has left behind no treasures.
Or perhaps it has already been completely looted by the people of this world.
She glanced at it, then didn't linger. She led a dozen soldiers out of the Ancient Hall, traversing the Void until they found a Small World.
In this Small World, all the forces returned to their own cities. The Red Tassel Spear Woman found a Half-Saint and used her Immortal Arts to directly search his memories, quickly learning all sorts of information about this world.
"That boy..."
After searching her memories, the Red Tassel Spear Woman paused slightly, her eyes flickering.
According to this Half-Saint's memories, Twenty Years ago, a Prodigy suddenly appeared, the very one she was searching for.
The opponent suddenly rose to prominence and quickly became famous Heavenly Realms. During this great calamity, all the saints of this world fled for refuge, but the opponent suddenly appeared and fought a decisive battle with the Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman fell silent for a moment. From the Half-Saint's memories, she sensed a peerless young man with a pure heart, radiating brilliance. His combat prowess and character Unparalleled, inspiring admiration and respect from countless people in this world.
She was also moved. Such Prodigy, if he were in the Heavenly Palace, would it be his turn to risk his life and fight?
Moreover, she hadn't expected that the other party had only been a saint for less Twenty Years.
Too young. In the True Realm, this amount of time is but a blink of an eye. It might take hundreds of years to comprehend a single Immortal Arts.
In her eyes, the other person was no different from a child, yet the other person saved her world.
Whoosh!
The Red Tassel Spear Woman moved swiftly, heading towards the Double-Seam Demon Valley, Forbidden Zone from the Half-Saint's memories.
When she Descent this world, joy filled Heavenly Realms as the Ancient Demon were slain. In a certain Forbidden Zone, a magnificent palace stood tall.
Suddenly, the palace doors opened, and a figure walked out shakily.
He was the Source Ancestor in his youthful form.
His original Dao body was created with countless efforts using an ancient Immortal Merit passed down from his ancestors, but it was devoured by that Ancient Demon.
Fortunately, this body fulfilled its purpose, shielding him from this imminent and fatal calamity.
"Lord Haotian, you are truly remarkable! You actually managed to defeat that Ancient Demon from the True Immortal Realm..."
The young Source Ancestor muttered to himself, his gaze leaping over the desolate Forbidden Zone before him and looking toward the Void. The other Half-Saint he had left outside, created using puppetry, had already detected what was happening outside.
He never expected that Li Hao would withstand such a world-ending calamity.
"Now that Sacred Capital have gone to block the Immortal Gate, they haven't made any more mistakes. It's time for me to take action, otherwise, if another True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon arrives, no one will be able to stop him."
The young Source Ancestor sighed softly, somewhat wistfully. He turned and took a deep look at the palace behind him. No one knew that this was his Ancestral Home.
The remains of our ancestors, left here, have already degenerated, thus making this Forbidden Zone.
Only he, relying on his own Bloodline, could hide here, coexisting with the Immortal Corpse of his ancestors without being harmed. This is a protected place where only he can stay.
Whoosh!
The young Source Ancestor out and headed towards the Immortal Gate, but in his heart he was thinking about what to say when he met with the saints.
On the other side, at the bottom of Heavenly Realms, in the Nine Nether Lands.
In the dark and deep Nine Netherworld, a ghostly figure swayed and drifted about.
"Um?"
The figure suddenly stopped, a look of shock flashing in their eyes, "That kid..."
The opponent actually perished together with True Immortal and Ancient Demon?
He was shocked. This was True Immortal! He considered himself the number one genius in Heavenly Realms, having created the Ultimate Dao Body Refining. In just a thousand years, he had caught up with the Source Ancestor had cultivated for countless Years. But at this moment, he felt like he had been severely defeated.
"I never imagined I'd actually see such a fool in my lifetime."
"If we had been born at the same time, perhaps we could have been friends. Unfortunately, we are now on different paths and cannot work together!"
"However, I'm indebted to you for this favor, hmph!"
He used the Blood Origin Technique to see what was happening outside through the eyes of the descendant God Race. Among the God Race, he had already selected three to become his Blood Origin seeds, who could serve as his eyes and hands, do things for him, and help him better Mastery the vast God Race.
Whoosh!
His figure flickered, and he flew out of the Nine Nether Lands, leaving the place.
Now that Li Hao's Fall, and that Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm is also dead, he needs to go and see what's going on at the breach.
If we can stop it, we must do everything we can to stop it this time. Even if another True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon breaks in, it will take some time for the opponent to recover to the True Immortal Realm strength. They were careless before and caught off guard, which allowed the True Immortal Realm Ancient Demon to recover its strength under the cover of its companions. But now they will not make the same mistake again.
"That Source Ancestor guy should come out by now. If he continues to cower like a turtle, I'll personally drag him out!"
The God King narrowed his eyes and sped off at full speed.
Meanwhile, the Red Tassel Spear Woman rushed to the Double-Seam Demon Valley.
"This is the most Forbidden Zone in this world?"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman stopped and surveyed the Forbidden Zone area in the Void before her.
At this moment, many more people continued to arrive in this Void, but the Red Tassel Spear Woman and the others concealed their Aura and did not attract much attention.
Those who arrived here like streaks of light were those who, through the reflection of the World Stone, saw that this Forbidden Zone was the burial place of Li Hao, and came here to pay homage and mourn Li Hao's Heroic Soul.
In the Void, there were mournful cries calling for the Lord Haotian everywhere. Many people had lost their loved ones tragically, and some Sect had been destroyed, leaving them powerless to take revenge, but Li Hao avenged them.
"That seems to be Immortal Dao Laws!"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman stared intently, vaguely sensing that the power within the crack was somewhat unusual. It was the Immortal Dao Laws, something only Immortal Lord could grasp, yet it was present here, and it persisted for a long time.
Her eyes flickered slightly as she flew towards the Forbidden Zone.
"Immortal Lord!"
When the silver-armored general and the others saw it, they were all startled. They could all see that the crack was extremely dangerous and had a very uneasy feeling. At this moment, the Immortal Lord actually flew Past directly. You should know that the other party had taken the Immortal Severing Pill and his cultivation level was the same as theirs.
"Look, what are those people doing?"
"It looks like they're going into the Forbidden Zone area."
"Are they here to pay respects to the Lord Haotian as well? Even if they are deeply grieving, this is far too reckless."
"Quick, stop them! If they go any further, they won't be able to turn back!"
Upon seeing this, many of the Half-Saint stationed here also hurriedly took action.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman moved swiftly, stepping out from the rift Heaven and Earth, and in the blink of an eye, she arrived at the rift in the Forbidden Zone.
The silver-helmeted general and his men followed behind, trying to stop them, but as soon as they got close, they felt a strong suction force enveloping them, and their bodies and souls were uncontrollably drawn towards the crevice.
"Are they... Sage?"
"Such a long-distance teleportation is something even the Return to the Ruins cannot accomplish; only Sage's ability to traverse the rifts Heaven and Earth is possible."
"If they Sage, why have I never seen them?"
Many people were looking up, their faces filled with astonishment.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman, standing under the Principle of the Forbidden Zone, immediately sensed the danger. Her expression changed slightly. No wonder the ancient Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm and the young man couldn't return; only Immortal Lord could withstand the engulfing Law Power.
If she had time, once the effects of the Immortal Severing Pill wore off and her cultivation level recovered, she could withstand this Principle and go in to investigate. But now, she doesn't have that much time, nor does she dare to take the risk.
"Come in, all of you."
Seeing that the soldiers following her were all about to fall uncontrollably into the crevice, the Red Tassel Spear Woman quickly pulled them all into her Immortal Domain.
Then, she gripped the Red Tassel Spear in her hand, the shaft vibrating slightly, instantly unleashing a terrifying destructive force that broke free from the Immortal Dao Laws, carrying her like a current against the current, rushing out of the crack's suction force, and arriving outside the Forbidden Zone.
This scene left countless people in the area speechless.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone manage to break free from the Forbidden Zone; it's incredible.
"Who are they?"
"I don't think I've ever seen her before. Who is that Sage? The Medicine Saint I know isn't like this."
Amidst the shocked and heated discussions of the crowd, the Red Tassel Spear Woman stared intently at the crack, sighing inwardly. If it were any other danger, she could break through it with her Red Tassel Spear to see what was going on, but this perilous place before her made even her vaguely sense danger. She feared that the young man might truly not be able to return.
She remained silent for a moment, then turned and vanished, leaving behind only a murmur of discussion.
Before long, the Red Tassel Spear Woman arrived at another location in the Void.
Here stands a strange palace, seemingly real yet illusory.
When she saw the palace, she immediately felt an Immortal Dao Laws reflected in her eyes, and that power wrapped around her, locking her in like Curse.
"The Immortal King's Palace? It still retains some of its power..."
The Red Tassel Spear Woman's eyes flickered slightly. This was the second Forbidden Zone of this realm, a location she had located from the memories of the Half-Saint. Having just seen the first Forbidden Zone, and with some time to spare, she wanted to see what this second Forbidden Zone looked like.
"That's lucky for me."
The gun in her hand trembled slightly, breaking free from the binding Law Power.
The Heavenly Net Palace in the Void instantly transformed from real to illusory, seemingly about to vanish.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman paused slightly, her expression changed, and she swiftly attacked, charging towards the palace with her spear in hand.
But by the time she arrived, the palace had completely turned into an illusion. Her Red Tassel Spear swept across the room, Immortal Dao Laws impacted it, but she couldn't force the illusion back, nor could she keep it.
Her expression changed slightly. The power left behind by this treasure hall was stronger than she had imagined; it must be some kind of palace-type Immortal Treasure.
Since we're not meant to be, so be it.
She shook her head slightly and sighed, then turned and headed towards the Mysterious Female Gate without lingering any longer.
After traversing vast rifts in the Heaven and Earth, she quickly returned to the Ancient Hall.
Just as she arrived at this place, two other figures in the Void were also rushing to this place at full speed, teleporting over almost simultaneously.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman possessed powerful Divine Sense. Sensing two powerful Aura in the Void, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.
This Aura is only at the Saint-Level, yet it surpasses ordinary Saint-Level, reaching the level of the God Realm!
Although it's only a single God Realm, it's quite impressive to have reached that level at the Saint-Level.
She paused slightly, glancing at the two Aura.
Meanwhile, in the Void, the Source Ancestor and the God King, who were on their way to this place, also sensed each other's Aura. They smiled to each other, feeling a familiar understanding like that of old friends.
At the same time, they sensed another Aura, which, though extremely restrained, gave them an extremely terrifying feeling, even a chilling sensation.
Both of their expressions changed. Could it be that the Lord Haotian had come back to life?
Although they had never felt such a terrifying sensation from Lord Haotian, it seemed that among Heavenly Realms, only that young man could possibly give them such a feeling.
Surprised and confused, the two felt themselves being locked onto by a Divine Sense, and immediately realized that they had been discovered.
Fortunately, the Aura was not that of Ancient Demon, which put their minds at ease.
"Um?"
When she appeared, both the Source Ancestor and the God King saw that she was a woman of unparalleled beauty, with a divine face that could bewitch all living beings, but her expression was extremely cold and her brows were filled with murderous intent, giving people a feeling that she was never going to smile.
"This is..."
Source Ancestor realized that the other party was Human Race, but he had never seen such a face before. When he noticed the other party's Battle Armor, his expression changed. He had seen too many things in the Heavenly Realms, so much so that he knew everything, but he had never seen the structure and appearance of the armor on the woman in front of him before.
If it's not something from the Heavenly Realms, then it must be... the True Realm 'Immortal Deity reinforcements that Li Hao mentioned?!
The Source Ancestor became somewhat excited and transmitted his voice, "May I ask if you are from the True Realm?"
He used to call it the Immortal Realm, but now that he knows its true name from Li Hao, he has changed his way of referring to it.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman glanced at the two of them, her eyes narrowing slightly. She communicated with them using her Divine Sense, directly exchanging thoughts and bypassing the language barrier between them.
"You two are the strongest in this world, why didn't you participate in that battle?"
Her words carried a hint of accusation.
Searching through the Half-Saint's memories, she recognized the two at a glance. However, in the Half-Saint's memories, including the previous projection, the battle with the Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm only involved the boy and the large, imposing but ultimately useless army beside him.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Source Ancestor's heart skipped a beat. The other party was from outside the realm; how could they know about them?
But he didn't ask. Instead, his mind raced, and he said with a smile, "You misunderstand. Our previous clones were all killed. In the final battle, even Lord Haotian was fighting alone and wasn't confident. Letting us stay is like preserving a seed. He said that True Realm Immortal Deity would come to reinforce us. Are you one of them?"
His words were both a response to the other person and a clever explanation, while simultaneously circling the question back to the Red Tassel Spear Woman.
Beside him, the God King, seeing that the Source Ancestor had spoken, remained silent, but secretly Dark Dao himself, "Old fox."
With just a few questions and answers, he made up a reason for himself, truly lying through his teeth without batting an eye.
It's a pity that the "honest man" perished. He saw his own shadow in Li Hao, who was also an honest man. So he was tricked by this old fox and imprisoned for countless Years, almost dying.
Seeing that the Source Ancestor's expression was natural, his responses fluent, and a fleeting sadness even crossed his eyes, the Red Tassel Spear Woman didn't blame him further. Instead, she wondered about his mention of reinforcements... Had that young man told the people of this world that he would be providing reinforcements?
In her mind, she seemed to see the image of that young man, amidst the oppressive darkness of the Ancient Demon in the True Immortal Realm, solemnly entrusting his will to everyone, informing them that Immortal Deity would come to their aid, before resolutely facing his death...
Her fingers tightened slightly; she realized she was late.
She frowned, suddenly losing her mood. She glanced at the two of them, then turned and went back.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Source Ancestor was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Fairy, please wait!"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman Pause slightly, turned her head, and looked back. "?"
Source Ancestor chuckled awkwardly and quickly said, "Fairy, you come from the True Realm. Could you please take us there as well? We have learned that Ancient Demon are rampaging in the True Realm, and we are willing to do our part to slay the demons!"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman understood the meaning behind his words and calmly said, "The Ancient Demon of the True Realm cannot be completely killed, so the two of you will make a difference. I can only temporarily send people to guard this realm. If any more Ancient Demon invade, you two are the strongest fighters in this realm, so you should stay and keep watch."
Source Ancestor's expression immediately stiffened; the persona he had just established was in danger of collapsing again in the blink of an eye.
His thoughts raced, and a sudden surge of sorrow welled up in his eyes. He said, "Fairy, you may not know, but these Ancient Demons have wreaked havoc, and countless people have already died at their hands. We have cultivated in this realm for countless Years, but we have reached a bottleneck and can hardly make any further progress. We only hope to learn Immortal Method, slay demons, and exterminate all these Ancient Demons."
The God King nodded, agreeing, "That's right, we want revenge!"
The Red Tassel Spear Woman had a cold look in her eyes, as if she could see through the two of them, but she was too lazy to expose them. In the Half-Saint's memories, besides seeing the boy, she also saw him being slandered by the saints and suffering injustices from Heavenly Realms. It was because of this that he still had the courage to die for the common people in the end. This character left a very deep mark on her heart.
It's a pity the other person is dead, otherwise she would never have allowed such a person to be buried in such a place.
"Then let's follow."
The Red Tassel Spear Woman said that she did not refuse the two men, and would treat them as two copies of Immortal Merit.
Saint-Level cultivator can cultivate to the God Realm, and there's a very small chance they can be assessed as becoming King-Level Son of Heaven. Even if they don't, there's a very high chance they can cultivate to become Immortal Lord. Bringing back two such promising newcomers is a great achievement, enough to offset her guilt for leaving the Southern Border Battlefield this time.
When her Master asks, she will be able to Past.
Thank you.
When Source Ancestor saw that the other party had agreed, he was overjoyed, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.
The Red Tassel Spear Woman didn't bother with any more words. With a wave of her hand, she summoned them into her Immortal Domain.
Before the Source Ancestor and the God King could react, they found themselves in each other's domain, and were filled with horror.
They assumed their opponent was also Saint-Level, but now they realized that, despite being Saint-Level, their opponent seemed even more terrifying than the Lord Haotian, leaving them feeling powerless to resist.
How is that possible?
Soon, the Red Tassel Spear Woman arrived at the Ancient Hall and then traveled back to the True Realm.
On the Ancient Road, all the Sacred Capital gathered here.
With the arrival of the God King and the Source Ancestor, all the Sacred Capital were stunned, while the Name Saint and other Supreme Saint suddenly widened their eyes.
"The Source Ancestor, the God King?!"
The young-looking Source Ancestor someone many of the Sage present had never seen before, but the Supreme Saint, such as the Name Saint, had, and they were all astonished.
Source Ancestor and the God King remained calm, having anticipated this event. Source Ancestor said, "We barely escaped from that Ancient Demon, nearly dying. It's truly a rare treat to see you all again."
The Name Saint and others weren't that foolish. At this moment, they could easily figure out the reason: the enemy's earlier rearguard action was clearly a backup plan.
But the Ancient Demon of the True Immortal Realm said that he ate them, which can only mean that what they had seen before were all clones created by the other party.
The other side was using clones to play with them, risking their lives, while they were truly risking their lives!
Thinking of this, the saints couldn't help but think of Li Hao, who had already fallen, and their hearts were filled with sorrow. Only Li Hao had truly sacrificed himself for this!
"That was really tough!"
Name Saint coldly said with a hint of sarcasm.
The Mo Family Supreme Saint also maintained a cold expression, saying, "Lord Haotian perished together with the True Immortal and the Ancient Demon. Are you two aware of this?"
Source Ancestor understood the implication in his words and said in a low voice, "I've heard about it. Did any of you help him at the time?"
Upon hearing his question, Name Saint and the others also turned ugly, feeling Anger yet powerless.
We're truly brothers, no need to call us "brother," we're all pretty much the same.
"Confirmed?"
At this moment, the young man in silver helmet looked at the Red Tassel Spear Woman and asked.
Seeing her expression, he already understood the outcome.
She glanced at the two she had brought back and immediately noticed that they were significantly stronger than the Saint-Level beings around them. Their Sacred Dao power had undergone a qualitative change, and they had cultivated to the God Realm!
"These two Heavenly Talent also quite talented. Although we lost that one, their combined abilities can make up for it."
The silver-helmeted youth couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "I never expected there to be such a genius in this world."
The Red Tassel Spear Woman didn't bother to respond; in her mind, none of them could compare to that person.
Lord Haotian... She silently memorized his name in this realm. Although this name had fallen, she would remember it in her heart.
She said to the young man in silver helmet, "Let's go, hurry back."
"Um."
The silver-helmeted youth was in a good mood. In his opinion, the gains from this adventure were much greater than he had expected. After all, he thought that the boy in the projection was basically doomed. He didn't expect that Chi Ying would actually pick up two geniuses with great potential on this trip. It all depends on how their aptitude is determined when they return to the Heavenly Palace, but it will definitely not be too low.
Let's go.
He took out Immortal Treasure, a flying boat, and had the Source Ancestor and the others board it, which could isolate their Aura.
The remaining silver-armored soldiers, though also Saint-Level, had armor that concealed their Aura, allowing them to move freely through the Ancient Demon Battlefield.
"May I ask, senior, where are we headed?"
As they set off, Source Ancestor cautiously sent a telepathic message to the silver-helmeted youth.
"The Heavenly Palace is where you will live and cultivate in the Future, and it is also where you will establish your Immortal Merit. The True Realm is extremely cruel. Of course, if your aptitude is excellent, you will receive special cultivation from the Heavenly Palace, and in the Future you will not only become True Immortal, but also be able to command True Immortal!"
The silver-helmeted youth treated the God Realm youth very well, responding with a smile and telepathic message.
Source Ancestor's eyes gleamed slightly. Not only had he become True Immortal, but he could also command other True Immortal?
He had a vague feeling that his own brilliant Future was about to arrive.
If Haotian hadn't perished, perhaps he would have been even more dazzling, dazzling enough to overshadow them all.
But now, his moment of glory has arrived.
"Those who Past this calamity will surely be blessed with good fortune. It's a pity for Haotian; he was originally an unparalleled Prodigy, but now he's just turned into bones. There are countless capable people in the world; only those who survive to the end are the true strongmen..."
Source Ancestor Dark Dao to himself, he had lived too long and had seen countless Prodigy who appeared out of nowhere but fell just as quickly. Although those Prodigy were not as good as Li Hao, they had all shone brightly for a time.
He had seen the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus countless times, but as the years Past, only he remained standing tall throughout the Heavenly Realms.
