Great Opportunity

The Grey Cat nodded with satisfaction after hearing Zhang Tao's words. Why did it run out? Why did it go through the trouble of preparing these things for Zhang Tao again? Wasn't it all so it could live a more beautiful life in the future? And to eat that big fish head from the Sea Suppressing Envoy?

"Very good, Little Taozi, this cat will rely on you from now on!" the Grey Cat said without the slightest psychological burden.

Zhang Tao chuckled. Since he had decided to take the cat in, he had already made up his mind to clear away all troubles for it in the future. Besides, in the early stages, this cat had provided him with such great help.

Just at this moment, Nan Yunyue finally managed to bend her Bridge of Heaven and Earth. After all, she had only just entered Rank 6, and everything was still malleable.

With the descent of the three gates and the scouring of Nan Yunyue's own vital energy and blood, her Brain Core soon emerged. Nan Yunyue felt her spiritual power increase and was instantly overjoyed. Sure enough, with this, if it used to take ten years to seal the gates, now it would only take five.

"That's great." Nan Yunyue jumped up directly, but seeing Zhang Tao and the Grey Cat there, she restrained herself a bit. The Grey Cat, meanwhile, waddled away; it wanted to go back and take a nap. It had made a trip, and it was still quite tired.

"Here, take this. It can speed up your gate-sealing process!" Zhang Tao took a few Energy Fruits from his Space Ring and tossed them to Nan Yunyue.

After Nan Yunyue caught them in a flurry, her eyes widened. Energy Fruits—Zhang Tao actually had this stuff! What made her even more envious was that Zhang Tao had just used a Space Ring. Good heavens, wasn't this thing a legendary divine artifact? How could Zhang Tao have one?

Zhang Tao didn't care what she was thinking and said, "Nan Yunyue, some things can be said, and some things cannot. I think you should know the gravity of the situation."

Nan Yunyue was stunned, then she understood what Zhang Tao meant. She nodded and turned to leave immediately.

After Nan Yunyue left, Zhang Tao immediately returned to his room, took out a Heavenly Gold Lotus, and began to gnaw on it. He needed to raise his spiritual power to 3000 Hz as quickly as possible.

While Zhang Tao was working hard to improve himself, Li Zhen returned and was quickly restored by the people of Zhenxing City using Life Essence. Li Zhen also understood the principle that time is money, so he didn't act coy at all. Once recovered, he began eating the Heavenly Gold Lotus; he also needed to reach the late stage of Rank 7 as soon as possible.

In three days, Zhang Tao's spiritual power had reached 3000 Hz. Zhang Tao was already in the mid-stage of Rank 7, and after eating the Heavenly Gold Lotus for these two days, plus refining it, he quickly reached 3000 Hz in spiritual power, directly entering the late stage of Rank 7.

Zhang Tao had only used two Heavenly Gold Lotuses and stored the rest away. He looked at his ring; it contained a lot of Indestructible Substance, which he could use to quickly temper his skull. In Zhang Tao's view, it would only take about twenty more days to completely temper his skull and ascend to the Rank Eight Golden Body Realm in one go.

On this day, Zhang Tao was tempering his skull as usual when Li Zhen's shouts came from outside.

"Zhang Tao, Zhang Tao!" Li Zhen's voice was full of excitement. Zhang Tao didn't understand why, but looking at his progress, he should be able to successfully reach the Rank 8 realm in another ten days or so.

He went down and said, "Li Laoer, what is it?"

Li Zhen didn't mind Zhang Tao's form of address at all; this was already quite good, wasn't it? One had to know that this guy used to call him Li Hanhan. Between Li Hanhan and Li Laoer, which one sounded better?

"Zhang Tao, a great opportunity has arrived! Our Zhenxing City and the other five Sacred Lands have quite a few spots to go to the Land of King Battles, and I've secured one for you!" Li Zhen said immediately. If it were before, honestly, they were only at the early stage of Rank 6 or something, so they naturally wouldn't go in. But now they were Rank 7, had a certain ability to protect themselves, and could go in to look for some opportunities.

Zhang Tao's eyes lit up. The Land of King Battles—this was a good place, the place where Fang Ping made his fortune. However, he wasn't lacking resources now, so it seemed he didn't need to go.

Soon, Zhang Tao threw that thought to the back of his mind. How could he not go? Going this time meant killing some of the Catacombs' rising stars; otherwise, wouldn't the next few decades be very hard to endure?

As for opportunities, in Zhang Tao's view, they were just that. What kind of opportunity could compare to the cat?

"How about it? I'm a good friend, right? Originally, this was just an activity for our Six Great Sacred Lands. I put in a lot of effort to get you added!" Li Zhen said triumphantly.

Zhang Tao chuckled and gave a perfunctory response. It was just the Land of King Battles; what kind of great opportunity was that? The boundary points in the future were the real great opportunities. Zhang Tao planned to go in for a walk once he reached the Apex, clear the stages, put on a show, and incidentally improve his strength. After that, he would develop stealthily, beat the Heavenly Emperor to the ground, and everything would be settled.

Li Zhen was very dissatisfied with Zhang Tao's performance. Damn it, he had gone to such trouble to run over and tell him this good news, and he was acting all indifferent. This made Li Zhen unhappy.

He immediately grabbed Zhang Tao by the throat and roared, "Do you know how rare this opportunity is? What kind of attitude is this?"

Zhang Tao stuck his tongue out from being choked and said helplessly, "I know, I know, don't get worked up!"

Li Zhen then released Zhang Tao, snorted, and said, "Follow me to Zhenxing City!"

Zhang Tao was stunned. Was it that fast?

"Wait for me a moment, I need to arrange a few things!" After saying that, Zhang Tao hurriedly ran to the phone and dialed.

"Hello, Brother Xian, it's me, Zhang Tao. I might have to go out for a while. During this time, could you please come to my house and cook delicious food for Brother Cat?" Zhang Tao said as soon as he heard the other side pick up.

After receiving an affirmative response, Zhang Tao shouted upstairs, "Brother Cat, I'm going to the Land of King Battles. Brother Xian will come over to cook for you recently!"

"Meow, go ahead, go ahead!" the Grey Cat said lazily.

Recently, this Brother Xian had been the one in charge of the kitchen. This Brother Xian was a descendant of a royal chef, and his imperial palace cuisine was cooked exceptionally well. The Grey Cat was very satisfied with this. Brother Xian was also a clever person; knowing that Zhang Tao was a capable man, he did his best to show off his culinary skills, making both Zhang Tao and the Grey Cat very satisfied with him.

"Hmph, let's go!" Li Zhen curled his lips and urged him.

Soon, the two went out, drove, and headed toward Zhenxing City.

Along the way, no members of the Demon Sect jumped out to stop them. They soon arrived at Zhenxing City. Following behind Li Zhen, this was Zhang Tao's first time entering Zhenxing City. It was like a paradise, protected by a huge barrier.

Many people looked at Zhang Tao with great curiosity. They had heard of Zhang Tao's name, especially the feat of sealing three gates in one day, which was rumored to be miraculous. How could they not be curious?

"Grandfather, we're here!" Li Zhen walked up and said to the old man in the lead.
