Myriad Manifestations Emperor Appears

"Brother, I'm about to burrow underground. Can you keep up?" Earth-Tunneling King asked Li Zhōujūn.

"Mm." Li Zhōujūn nodded.

"You're sure?" Earth-Tunneling King asked with a sly grin. "If you can't keep up, I'll wait for you ahead. Don't worry—I'm paid to do a job, and I guarantee I won't go back on my word."

"Fine. Go ahead and burrow," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

"Then I'll be burrowing now." Earth-Tunneling King was brimming with confidence. "You'd better keep up!"

Earth-Tunneling King's confidence wasn't without reason.

Although he was only a Third-Rank Dao King, his speed after burrowing underground was enough to rival that of an ordinary Fifth-Rank Dao King.

Yet only after Earth-Tunneling King burrowed underground did he discover, to his shock, that Li Zhōujūn was still following steadily behind him.

This guy is at least a Fifth-Rank Dao King!

Three days later.

After traveling through the desert with Earth-Tunneling King, Li Zhōujūn finally emerged from it.

Earth-Tunneling King sprang out of the ground and said somewhat respectfully to Li Zhōujūn, "Brother, we're out of the desert."

"How do we proceed from here?" Li Zhōujūn asked.

Earth-Tunneling King said, "Myriad Manifestations Supreme Sect was established on an archipelago in the sea. That stretch of sea is protected by formations set up by Myriad Manifestations Supreme Sect. Unless you have a token from Myriad Manifestations Supreme Sect, you can only travel there by boat. Otherwise, you'll be struck by lightning."

"Then let's go," Li Zhōujūn said with a smile.

"All right." Earth-Tunneling King nodded, then continued leading the way ahead of Li Zhōujūn. Before long, they arrived at a dock.

The dock was crowded, with one large ship after another moored along the shore.

Li Zhōujūn asked in confusion, "Are all these people going to Myriad Manifestations Supreme Sect?"
