Setting Out
As more and more Tianzong members gathered in the Ancient Immortal Realm, a familiar Aura wafted over. Gu Yan and the other two turned their heads and saw Li Tiemu riding on a gourd, flying over.
Behind them were the other Nine Abysses and elders of the Great Dream Nine Abyss.
"Master."
The three immediately spoke up, feeling as if they had found their pillar of support.
In this vast Ancient Immortal Realm, even if they were Heavenly Prodigy geniuses, they still felt lonely. After all, everyone else around them was also Prodigy, accompanied by their masters, and could freely display their aura, while they had to be careful to avoid suffering losses.
"Yes, your Eldest Senior Brother told me about your situation, and he certainly didn't disappoint me."
Li Tiemu sensed the changes in his three beloved disciples' cultivation levels and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Compared to three years ago, they had all made great progress, and this time they might be able to break into the top 1,000.
After all, compared to other disciples of the Tianzong, Li Tiemu felt that Gu Yan and the others only lacked time.
If all three of them were to Soul Lifespan over two thousand years, with their Heavenly Talent, they would surely be able to easily rank among the top one thousand, or even more, especially Gu Yan, who might even break into the Top Ten!
"Master, didn't Haotian come with you?"
Murong Qingwu glanced behind Li Tiemu, but found it empty, and couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yan and Yue Xi also stood on tiptoe to look, but they didn't see that familiar figure.
"I was wondering if he might rush to the Frontier later and come over with you."
Upon hearing Murong Qingwu's words, Li Tiemu frowned slightly, glanced around, and said with a hint of helplessness:
"That kid is a real headache. I don't know where he's run off to. It's been three years, and he hasn't even said goodbye. Does he even respect me as his Master anymore?"
The three exchanged glances, remaining silent, but their eyes seemed to Whispers to each other: that was clearly not the case.
Li Tiemu sighed, but then showed no great concern, saying, "You don't need to worry. That kid was lucky to receive the Primal Tribulation Dao Fish treasure bestowed upon him by the Dream Master. That thing can predict good and bad fortune and can also protect him from a calamity. If the Dao Fish breaks, the Dream Master will sense it, but so far there has been no movement."
Hearing his words, the three exchanged glances, secretly relieved.
At this moment, disciples from the other Nine Abysses of the Great Dream Nine Abyss also landed nearby, including the old woman and Zhou Qingyun from the Sword Abyss, who also led their disciples there.
Upon seeing the change in the aura of Gu Yan and the other two, Zhou Qingyun's eyes widened slightly, then he smiled and said:
"Old Man Li, it seems that besides Haotian, you'll be recruiting a few more disciples this time."
"How can we not take the stage for the Southern Region Assembly Battle?"
Li Tiemu laughed, his face full of pride.
"We share the same ancestry and are bound by the same origin. I hope they can all participate and achieve good results in the Southern Region Assembly Battle!" the old woman said softly.
Li Tiemu looked at the disciples beside them and noticed their significant improvement, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Beside the old woman, Lin Mingrong, the snow-clad woman who had broken into the top 1,000 three years ago, glanced at Gu Yan and his two companions but did not see that figure.
She frowned slightly and asked Li Tiemu, "Elder Li, where is your disciple?"
You mean Haotian?
Li Tiemu glanced at the young girl and noticed that her Aura was even more profound and restrained than it had been three years ago. Although she was still at the True Immortal Realm, she possessed an indescribable Dao Resonance. He chuckled softly:
"Haotian is a playful child; I wonder where he's off playing right now."
"Playful?"
Lin Mingrong was slightly taken aback, and immediately thought of everything that had happened in front of the Dream Master three years ago. The young man had followed her to pay his respects to the Dream Master, but was left behind by the Dream Master. He was the person who achieved the highest ranking in the entire Great Dream Nine Abyss at that time.
However, the other party did not continue their cultivation afterward, but instead left the Langya Painting Realm.
"Let's not talk about my disciple. You all need to work hard. Everyone else is improving, so don't fall behind."
Li Tiemu said with a smile, though he couldn't hide the smile on his face; everyone could see how much he liked that disciple.
"Mingrong, focus, and keep going."
The old woman whispered to her beloved disciple.
Lin Mingrong's eyes narrowed slightly. She nodded, took a deep breath, and then drew her sword and stepped into the Desolate Region.
"You should go too, let me see your three years of arduous training."
Li Tiemu smiled at Gu Yan and the other two.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan and the other two's eyes sharpened. Although they hadn't encountered Ancient Demon while training on the Frontier, their battles with the military experts were no less intense than those against Ancient Demon. Their relentless day and night training, and the figure above them who had achieved 19th place, constantly made them want to catch up.
Even in my dreams, I'm running and chasing.
Three years Past, and even if they can't catch up, they want to see just how much the gap has narrowed!
Whoosh!
Gu Yan drew his sword and took the lead in following Lin Mingrong's figure.
Murong Qingwu even remembered to say goodbye to Li Tiemu, and Yue Xi also cupped her hands in greeting before they chased after him together.
"These two little guys."
Li Tiemu shook his head slightly, but didn't seem to mind. Instead, he looked towards Spear Abyss.
Besides Li Hao, another promising talent has emerged from the Great Dream Nine Abyss. Spear Abyss is said that after three years of arduous training, he received great praise and guidance from the Dream Master in the Langya Painting Realm, making rapid progress. I wonder if he can join that kid in supporting the entire Great Dream Nine Abyss!
Besides Great Dream Nine Abyss, disciples from other Tianzong also made their moves.
"Haotian, in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, I will definitely catch up with you!"
Inside the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion, a woman in a green dress with a graceful figure stood at the edge of Giant Sword Domain Artifact. Her gaze swept towards the direction of the Great Dream Nine Abyss, but she did not see that familiar figure.
She knew the other person hadn't arrived yet; otherwise, even in a crowd of millions, she would have spotted them at a glance.
Just like a sword fanatic can find his own sword at a glance among millions of sword hilts.
"Qingying, stay by my side, and I can guide you through the Tenth Desolate Domain and secure a spot in the battle."
Suddenly, a voice rang out from the side.
A young man dressed in a snow-white silk robe stood behind Lin Qingying, his expression indifferent, his eyes revealing a detached disdain, as if nothing in the world mattered to him. Only when he glanced at the Green-Robed Woman did a hint of tenderness appear in his eyes.
Lin Qingying snapped out of her daze and shook her head, saying, "No need, Eldest Senior Brother, I want to rely on my own abilities."
"You've only been a disciple for a short time. With your Heavenly Talent, you should have been qualified to participate in this Southern Region Assembly Battle. It's just that the Immortal Dynasty's assessment was brought forward. I'll give you two more years, and you'll definitely be able to fight your way in on your own. I'm just lending you two more years."
The young man spoke calmly, the gentleness in his eyes fading into indifference.
Lin Qingying shook her head slightly, "I can make up for my own time. Eldest Senior Brother, you represent the Sect's reputation, so you should go and strive for it yourself."
After saying that, without waiting for a reply, he leaped straight into the Desolate Region.
The young man frowned slightly.
"Senior Brother Hongyi, she's aloof and doesn't appreciate my help, but why don't you take me under your wing?"
A woman with a pleasant voice approached, her beautiful eyes clear and innocent, looking pure and lovely.
Tian Hongyi glanced at her and sneered, "You've been a disciple for many years. If you had her ambition, you wouldn't need to rely on others."
Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and flew away, ignoring them.
The woman froze, her innocent eyes instantly turning into resentment, and she bit her lip slightly.
After three years of silence, the Desolate Region gradually became lively, with disciples from various sects moving about.
On the black Immortal Stele, numerous identity numbers were rapidly jumping and interweaving.
Within the Illusory Sea Gate.
When Huo Xiaoqi returned to the Sect, his appearance had undergone a complete transformation. His posture became more upright, and his face was delicate and handsome. If his hair were loose, he would resemble a willow-like woman.
He scanned the surroundings but couldn't find the figure. He frowned slightly but wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he bid farewell to his Master's Sect and plunged into the Desolate Region.
High in the Desolate Region sky.
Chu Xiangtian and a dozen other figures stood on this high place, looking down at the blurry phantoms in the Desolate Region.
"Look! Boya Xuejian from the Bamboo Rain Pavilion are about to enter the Desolate Region!"
"Xing Lan is also preparing to enter."
"And Tian Hongyi!"
Their gazes swept across the room, mainly focusing on the top Prodigy from each sect.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Among them, the most eye-catching was none other than Boya Xuejian of the Bamboo Rain Pavilion.
Previously, he actually managed to break into the seventh place of the Immortal Stele on his own. You should know that the Top Ten were all monopolized by the Imperial Clan. Only Boya Xuejian broke this monopoly and entered as a disciple of the Tianzong!
"Three years Past, does he intend to compete for Top Five?"
"I thought he wouldn't come this time and would continue his studies, but I didn't expect him to come ahead of schedule."
"I heard he rejected all his Older Brother's invitations and still doesn't intend to side with any side. It seems he has quite a bit of ambition, planning to make a name for himself in the Southern Region before coming back to negotiate!"
"I can understand it; I would have made the same choice if I were in his shoes."
"Should we inform Ying Que and give him a test?" a voluptuous woman in luxurious clothes asked with a smile.
Chu Xiangtian glanced at them and said coldly, "Don't cause any trouble. Don't forget that they are all fighting on behalf of Yan-Chu. It's pointless to waste their strength here prematurely. When we compete with other Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Region Assembly Battle, we'll naturally see their capabilities!"
"Older Brother, don't be angry. I just wanted him to know the majesty of our Imperial Clan."
The elegant woman covered her mouth and laughed.
Chu Xiangtian narrowed his eyes. He didn't bother to figure out whether what he said was true or false, or if there was another purpose behind it.
Time passed.
Amidst the fierce battles in the Ancient Immortal Realm, in the distant Frontier Qinghe Fallen City...
Li Hao stayed in the Water Moon Secret Realm, spending his days eating, drinking, and cultivating.
Three years Past, and Li Hao has already used up most of the 100,000 Immortal Stone he exchanged for 100,000 Immortal Merit. His cultivation level has also increased from the True Immortal Realm Third Layer to the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer!
With the remaining 30,000 Immortal Stone, combined with the abundant Immortal Power in the courtyard, he could easily advance to the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer Perfection.
After reaching the True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer, the capacity of his Ancestral Immortal Body also increased. With the continuous infusion of power from the All Heavens Star Meridian, he could unleash even stronger killing moves in an instant!
It's important to know that the intensity of Immortal Power in the True Immortal Realm doubles with each advancement in realm!
If his previous Immortal Power index was 4, then it's now 256, which is 64 times that of True Immortal Realm Third Layer!!
This is why the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to overcome adversity; a difference of just one or two realms can lead to a dramatic change in Immortal Power.
Now, the immense Immortal Power allows Li Hao to unleash all the techniques he currently possesses without any worries, preventing his Immortal Power from being completely drained as soon as he unleashes a move.
Even if the energy supply is continuously replenished, the power will be different.
"There are ten more days until it's all over there. Aren't you going to take a look?"
In the courtyard, Gu Changming looked at Li Hao and asked with a smile.
"Let's wait five more days. Going too early is pointless; it's just a formality to receive an award," Li Hao said.
He has already secured his spot in the competition, so there's no point in challenging the Desolate Region anymore; it won't train him either.
With this time, we might as well stay here and eat in peace for five days.
"You little rascal, you're really planning to make your appearance at the last minute?" Gu Changming couldn't help but chuckle.
However, he had great confidence in Li Hao, since he had already secured his qualification to compete, so it didn't really matter whether he went early or late.
"It's not that bad. I'll just go there for a few days, catch up with old friends, and see how intense their competition is," Li Hao said with a smile.
Everyone says you should see all the sights, so naturally you can't miss out on this lively scene.
Upon hearing this, Gu Changming burst into laughter.
Five days Past in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that it was almost time, Li Hao didn't linger any longer. After saying goodbye to Gu Changming, he left the Water Moon Secret Realm and prepared to head to the Immortal Capital.
He headed towards the teleportation point in the Fallen City. Suddenly, a beautiful figure floated past him on the road. Li Hao was stunned for a moment, thinking it was his imagination. He opened his eyes and looked over, only to see the figure turn and walk into a nearby alley.
He hurriedly chased Past, only to find the other person stopped at the corner.
"You..."
Li Hao stared at the other person's back, somewhat stunned, his pupils slightly contracting.
The figure slowly turned its head, revealing a face that Li Hao recognized.
Li Hao's heart pounded, and he felt as if the blood in his body was Solidification and contracting.
The stunningly beautiful figure before me was none other than the Ancient Demon Woman I had encountered on the Beyond the Border battlefield, Mi Xueyao!
"How could it be you!"
Li Hao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. The other party had actually appeared in this Fallen City?
This is Human Race territory, and a crucial Frontier at that!
Seeing Li Hao's shocked expression, Mi Xueyao couldn't help but smile and said, "I just sensed your Aura. It seems you do remember me after all."
She sensed Li Hao's Aura and deliberately moved in front of him to attract his attention.
Li Hao froze, then suddenly realized what was happening. "What... what are you going to do?"
"I was being chased by that Ancient Demon, why aren't you concerned about whether I'm alright?" Mi Xueyao asked with interest.
"..."
Li Hao was taken aback for a moment before saying, "Weren't you perfectly fine right in front of me?"
"Snort!"
Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Mi Xueyao's smiling face vanished instantly. She snorted coldly and said, "I helped you distract that guy, and you're not even a little grateful?"
Li Hao was speechless. Women's moods were indeed unpredictable; he hadn't expected the Devil Race to be the same.
"I'm already being very accommodating by not yelling or shouting," Li Hao said irritably.
"Go ahead and scream, it won't do you any good no matter how hard you scream," Mi Xueyao said teasingly, arms crossed.
"..."
Why does this dialogue sound so familiar?
