Yan Chu Great Emperor
The Imperial Daughter paused slightly upon hearing Li Hao's words, glaring at him angrily. "I don't want to waste words with you. Quickly remove your foot and return your body to him, or you will be committing blasphemy against imperial authority, and your entire family will be executed!"
Bang!
Li Hao stomped down, cracking the chest of the Immortal Body.
Seeing Li Hao's arrogance, the Imperial Daughter changed visibly, and the other members of the Imperial Clan who were ranked higher also frowned slightly.
If it were merely a personal feud between Li Hao and Chu Tianzheng, they wouldn't get involved. But now that Li Hao has publicly trampled on the royal body, damaging the Imperial Clan's reputation, it would be difficult for them to remain indifferent.
"Stop."
The Imperial Daughter unleashed her Immortal Power, her long black hair billowing in the wind, revealing her imposing aura as if she were about to make a move.
Li Hao didn't look at her, but instead took out a token from his pocket.
Upon seeing the token in Li Hao's palm, the Imperial Daughter, who was about to make a move, suddenly changed her expression, her eyes narrowing in surprise.
The other members of the Imperial Clan also changed their expressions, suppressing the Anger in their eyes as they stared at the young man.
"The Chu King Token?"
On the Immortal Platform, Xing Lan and the others also saw the token in Li Hao's hand, and their expressions changed, somewhat shocked.
This order is extremely rare, and it can only be obtained by those with extraordinary immortal Immortal Merit. Even the Sect Master of the Heaven One Sect would not dare to be disrespectful to Li Hao if he possessed this order, otherwise he would be surrounded by the iron hooves of the Chu Immortal Army in the blink of an eye.
There was once a saying that if you possessed the Chu King Token, you could kill an unfavored prince without any consequences.
Chu Tianzheng, who was opposite Li Hao, also saw it. His furious expression froze, and he stood there stunned.
The young man before me actually possesses the Chu King Token? Who bestowed it upon him?
During the past two years at the Frontier, Li Hao spent most of his time in the Water Moon Secret Realm. In his spare time, he learned a lot about the secrets of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty from Gu Changming. He also gained an understanding of the various forces and privileges within the Immortal Dynasty and became familiar with Immortal Method.
This method is not that method, but it is even superior to that method!
The Immortal Deity of the True Realm roam freely, but even they must abide by the rules and regulations of the Immortal Dynasty.
With the Chu King Token in hand, Li Hao could severely injure the prince without being held accountable, unless Marshal Shangguan Hong discarded the token.
"It's so lively?"
As the Immortal Platform fell into a brief silence, a cheerful voice rang out, sounding both warm and detached.
Upon hearing this voice, the Imperial Clan members on the Immortal Platform all trembled and hurriedly looked over. They saw two figures emerging from the Cloudmist deep within the Desolate Region, and their expressions changed. They quickly bowed in worship.
Despite being princes, they Imperial Capital, in front of these two pillars of the Immortal Dynasty, let alone those who had not yet inherited the position of crown prince.
While Imperial Clan may seem unapproachable and enjoy immense prestige compared to the Sect and Aristocratic Clan, they must still exercise caution in the presence of certain powerful figures, as these factors could threaten their Future prospects.
Standing on such a high platform, one wrong step could send you plummeting into the Abyss. Sometimes, the challenges are even greater than those faced by the prodigies and Prodigy of Heavenly Prodigy Sect and aristocratic Aristocratic Clan.
Li Hao put away the token and looked at the two who had arrived. The one who spoke was none other than Old Master Yuan Xinggang.
Beside him stood Shangguan Hong, a burly and imposing figure clad in Golden Armor. He had a full beard and eyes like cold stars, but when facing Li Hao, he showed a rare gentleness and nodded slightly to him.
Li Hao immediately bowed in respect.
"It's the State Teacher and the Grand Marshal!"
"My God, they actually came to oversee things in person!"
"Are these their True Form? They actually came out of the Desolate Region."
"The selection process for the Southern Region Assembly Battle never seemed to generate this much buzz."
"This selection represents the most outstanding Prodigy in Yan-Chu in recent years, so it's not surprising that these two have stepped forward."
The area below the Immortal Platform was abuzz with excitement, and Nine Thousand Immortal Cities reflected in the light, gasps of astonishment echoed. Countless people recognized these two pillars of the immortal Immortal Dynasty, knowing their unassailable status and their accumulated prestige within the Immortal Dynasty for tens of thousands of years; no one was unaware of them.
Xing Lan and the others were surprised and bowed their heads in worship.
"Don't embarrass yourself!"
Shangguan Hong glanced at Chu Tianzheng, snorted coldly, and with a casual wave of her hand, a drop of blood splattered from the Immortal Body at Li Hao's feet and landed in front of his Primordial Spirit.
Chu Tianzheng's face flushed red. He had lost face in front of this Marshal, which would surely affect his chances of winning the crown prince position in the Future and prevent him from gaining the marshal's support.
He felt aggrieved, but he still quickly thanked the god and then merged his Primordial Spirit into the drop of Divine Blood. Blood-Drop Rebirth and his physical body was formed again.
"Little one, are you interested in considering joining me at the Chu Immortal Army after the ceremony? I'll train you for the next seven days and make sure you achieve fame in the Southern Region Assembly Battle!"
Shangguan Hong looked at Li Hao with a smile on her lips and spoke through telepathy.
Li Hao was slightly taken aback, feeling somewhat embarrassed. He had planned to spend the next seven days eating demon meat properly, and then go to the Dream Master to study the Painting Dao.
If he can improve his Painting Dao, he may be able to advance to the Immortal Lord Realm.
When facing a powerful Immortal Lord Realm, they won't have to rely on external forces to save their lives.
Seeing Li Hao's troubled expression, Shangguan Hong was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter, saying, "You're really as stubborn as a mule! You can't even get me to invite you!"
He spoke these words aloud without transmitting them, immediately astonishing the Imperial Clan members and Xing Lan and the others present, who stared blankly at Li Hao.
What's going on? What did this Grand Marshal Who Pacifies the Nation just invite this guy to?
Moreover, why was the other party so friendly to Li Hao?
Standing not far away, Zhang Xuanyu stared wide-eyed. The series of events left him dazzled and bewildered.
"Isn't this just like your temper when you were young?"
Yuan Xinggang smiled slightly, roughly guessing why Shangguan Hong had invited Li Hao, and that he had clearly been rejected. He smiled and said to Li Hao:
"Today's ceremony is just a minor affair; let's put it aside for now and talk about it later."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and flicked it lightly.
The shattered Immortal Body beneath Li Hao's feet was instantly shaken by some force, exploding and annihilating without leaving even a speck of dust.
Seeing the State Teacher raise his hand and extinguish his own physical remains, Chu Tianzheng's lips twitched slightly, but he dared not say anything more.
"Xiang Tian, continue."
Yuan Xinggang looked up at Chu Xiangtian and said.
Chu Xiangtian was sweating profusely. He hadn't expected these two important figures to come out in person; he had thought they would just watch quietly from the other side of the river.
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man, memorizing his features. Clearly, this young man was deeply favored and appreciated by these two, which, apart from his background, was mostly due to his Prodigy Heavenly Talent.
This is definitely someone worth investing heavily in to win over.
He bowed in response, then released the restrictions on the Immortal Stele and announced loudly, "The rest of you who are advancing may proceed to the stage in an orderly fashion!"
The Immortal Stele trembled, and beams of golden light shot out, illuminating the thirteenth, fourteenth, and so on behind Chu Tianzheng.
As one figure after another stepped onto the stage, the number of people on the Immortal Platform grew larger and larger.
The people who had taken to the air to avoid Li Hao and Chu Tianzheng's fight earlier all landed and returned to their positions.
However, when they looked at the young man from the True Immortal Realm on the stage again, their eyes were filled with solemnity.
The appearance of State Teacher Yuan Xinggang and Marshal Shangguan Hong calmed them down, and when they looked at the young man again, they immediately realized how terrifying he was.
The fact that True Immortal Realm defeated Chu Tianzheng, who Second Level of Immortal Lord Realm, suggests that such strength is probably invincible within the True Immortal Realm!
The Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty Nine Thousand Immortal Cities and countless citizens, with the number of the True Immortal Realm alone likely reaching hundreds of millions.
It's nothing short of a miracle that the other party could achieve this level of skill.
"Haotian actually knows the Grand Marshal?!"
"The State Teacher seems to know him too!"
Within the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, Nine Abysses elders were shocked, watching this scene in disbelief.
Li Tiemu's eyes widened as well, feeling an unprecedented sense of unfamiliarity with this disciple.
Those two top figures on the Immortal Platform, whom even he found difficult to approach and who were not even worthy of his attention, were now surprisingly kind and amiable to Li Hao.
"He, he..."
Yue Xi stared blankly at the boy, suddenly feeling that the distance between them had suddenly widened to an extreme, making them impossible to approach.
Gu Yan stared intently at Li Hao's retreating figure, a glint in his eyes, and quietly clenched his fist.
At this moment, Yuan Xinggang and Shangguan Hong, having quelled this minor incident, soared into the high sky above the Immortal Platform disappeared into the Cloudmist beside the Imperial Palace, their figures appearing and disappearing indistinctly.
On the Immortal Platform, bathed in golden light, figures ascended one after another.
After these figures went on stage, they couldn't help but glance at the young man.
Whether through connections or his own abilities, that young man was remarkable and commanded respect.
Zhang Xuanyu had already returned to Li Hao's side. He looked at the young man beside him with an extremely complicated expression. The other party had actually defeated Chu Tianzheng and established himself on his own merits, and even gained the favor of those two important figures. Even if they were jealous of the other party's Heavenly Talent, probably no one would dare to Assassination him.
Otherwise, if they are investigated and their roots are completely eradicated, the consequences could be far-reaching.
In the blink of an eye, disciples from various sects within the thousand listed on the Immortal Stele, as well as people from other forces, all took to the stage.
This includes Prodigy like Gu Xingwan, who were nurtured by the Demon Subduing Division, as well as disciples from other Ten-Thousand-Year Aristocratic Clan.
Standing atop the Ancestral Dragon, Chu Xiangtian looked down at the crowd below. His gaze swept over them one by one, Pause briefly on Li Hao before moving on, and then he slowly and loudly proclaimed:
"Congratulations on becoming the Heavenly Prodigy selected from among the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities of my Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty. You one thousand will represent the most outstanding young generation of my Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty in the past ten thousand years!"
Cheers erupted from the audience, and countless people in the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities exclaimed in amazement.
The previous clash between Li Hao and Chu Tianzheng excited and shocked countless True Immortal Realm in the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, who regarded him as a model for the True Immortal Realm.
"To cultivate to such a level within a mere three thousand years of Soul Lifespan, progressing from the Power Through Realm to the Saint Realm, then ascending to become Immortal Deity, and even becoming a Sovereign among Immortals!"
"Your future is limitless. You are the embodiment of the True Realm's destiny, bearing great fortune and fortuitous opportunity! I also hope that you can shoulder the national destiny of my Great Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, represent Yan-Chu in battle, defeat the Heavenly Prodigy of the Southern Region, and demonstrate the supreme prestige of my Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty!"
As Chu Xiangtian spoke passionately, the disciples from various sects below the stage all had shining eyes. Although they had failed and did not make it into the top 1,000, they still felt a surge of excitement.
Bearing the fate of the nation on their shoulders, they set out beyond Yan-Chu, competing with the top Heavenly Prodigy of the other six ancient Ancient Immortal Dynasty and the Heavenly Palace in this vast and boundless Southern Region. What an honor and a thrilling thing this is!
"Seven years until the day we go into battle!"
"In these seven years, I hope you will all make even greater progress. The Yan Chu royal family will also open the royal treasury to provide you with additional resources and assistance, helping you to charge into battle and achieve triumph on the battlefield of the Southern Region's prodigies!!"
Chu Xiangtian said loudly.
Its booming sound reverberated throughout the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, causing cheers to erupt as people felt the majesty and benevolence of the Imperial Family.
On the Immortal Platform, Li Hao and the others listened quietly. Even Li Hao felt a surge of excitement in his heart. The prince's domineering and resonant voice was extremely infectious, as if he were a born Imperial Emperor.
If it weren't for the vast territory and numerous princes of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty, the latter's abilities would have been enough to give him the ambition to Imperial Emperor.
However, among the many Yan Chu Imperial Family, the other party does not seem to be able to rank among the top.
After Chu Xiangtian finished speaking, he turned to look at the magnificent Imperial Palace reflected in the water, then slowly bowed in worship, kneeling on one knee in the Void, and said:
"Please, Father Emperor, bestow this upon me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless eyes were drawn to the towering gates of the majestic Imperial Palace.
The gate, thousands of feet high, like a mountain peak, blocked countless views, making it impossible for anyone to glimpse what lay within.
It was as if it were an insurmountable class and ladder.
At this moment, the gate of the Imperial Palace seemed to make a soft rumble, and a crack slowly opened in the rising Cloudmist. Then it slowly opened, and the surrounding Cloudmist swirled and were drawn in by the force of the gate opening, surging continuously.
Behind the door, figures of the Ancestral Dragon and the Vermilion Phoenix flitted past, like butterflies dancing gracefully, fluttering on both sides of the door.
Immediately afterwards, an immense pressure emanated from within the door, like a chilling Aura descending, causing everyone on the Immortal Platform and even in the ancient Immortal Platform Ancient Immortal Realm below to feel an indescribable majesty, as if they had suddenly been placed at the bottom of a lake, their air stolen away, and they involuntarily held their breath.
This oppressive aura spread, and through the projection, the cheers in every city of the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities seemed to quiet down in an instant.
Despite the vast distance separating them, they could both feel that indescribable Emperor's Might!
Inside the gate sat a majestic figure, seemingly the embodiment of Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, in the Imperial Hall. His gaze was like an inverted Divine Sun, containing countless brilliant golden Dao Patterns, and his body was radiant with Divine Radiance, exuding boundless aura.
Its gaze is level with All Things, as if it stands shoulder to shoulder with Heaven and Earth and earth, and as insignificant as the sun and moon. Just one glance makes one feel as small as an ant, and one can only look up at it, with a cautious tremor in the process.
The mere natural manifestation of Emperor's Might silenced the Ancient Immortal Realm, leaving it eerily quiet.
But this Emperor's Might, besides its majesty, was not arrogant; it inspired awe but did not suffocate, instead revealing a gentle tranquility.
Sculpture and portraits of this Imperial Emperor can be found throughout the Yan-Chu regions, but seeing him in person is a completely different experience.
This was also the first time Li Hao had seen him, and his heart skipped a beat, as if he had the same feeling as when he first met Emperor Luo during the Imperial Hall Inheritance.
