Task Complete

A year is an unforgettable and memorable period for many powerful figures in the Wind and Cloud World.

A year ago, their understanding of the martial arts world was limited to what they saw.

A year later, they had seen much more, beyond the world, and through the changes in Heavens and Myriad Worlds. They suddenly realized that they had once been like frogs at the bottom of a well, like tiny and insignificant ants.

A year later, they reunited in the square, and everyone had changed.

The Nameless aura was as deep and boundless as the ocean. Simply by standing there motionless, he naturally generated an unparalleled sword intent that could tear apart heaven and earth. If the Nameless a year ago was only equivalent to the Golden Core realm, he now clearly had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Sword Saint's aura was even more terrifying; he had transformed from a white-haired old man into a middle-aged man with black hair and beard.

As for Xiong Ba, the changes are equally obvious.

He had lost some of his former arrogance and haughtiness, and his expression was gentle, clearly indicating that the trip to the Heavenly Domain had dealt a great blow to his Mind Stone.

As for the others, they have also undergone tremendous changes.

A year later, the group reunited, and faced with former friends and enemies, everyone felt a strange mix of emotions.

The Sword Saint stared directly at Nameless, without uttering a word.

Because he doesn't need to ask for what he wants.

Nameless lowered his head slightly and did not respond.

Xiong Ba looked around and quickly spotted Li Hao and the others. He smiled and greeted them with a cupped hand, saying, "Greetings, seniors."

Li Hao smiled and nodded, looking Xiong Ba for a moment, and said with a smile, "Not bad, you look more energetic than before."

Xiong Ba's face twitched slightly.

Senior, are you kidding me?

Are you more energetic than before?

With my current cultivation level, I could easily defeat myself a year ago, okay?

Xiong Ba was speechless, but thinking of Li Hao's terrifying cultivation level, he fell silent.

Compared to my predecessors, perhaps my improvement is really just that I'm more energetic?

Zagusia smiled and nodded to Li Hao, then looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, have you decided whether to stay or go back?"

The group looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

Some were deep in thought, some had already made their decisions, and some looked hesitant.

They knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, their only chance to step out into the world. If they missed it, they might never have another chance like it in their lifetime. Yet, many also had lingering attachments, such as to family and friends.

The Sword Saint decisively replied, "I will stay."

Great Demon God: "I'll stay too."

Soon, the crowd responded, with dozens choosing to stay, leaving only a few, such as Xiong Ba, Smile Three Smiles, and Nameless, remaining silent.

Smile Three Smiles and sighed, "I'm old. I've guarded this world for over four thousand years. I can't let go, I can't let go."

He said this, shook his head slightly, and rode away on a cloud.

The Nameless remained silent, lost in thought.

He still has attachments to the mortal world, and what he truly desires is not to cultivate immortality.

The Sword Saint narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Nameless, I look forward to our next duel."

Nameless sighed and said, "No need. My worldly ties are not yet severed, and I am unworthy to continue on this path, Brother Sword Saint."

The Sword Saint's face twitched slightly.

His relationship with Nameless was complex; they were once the best rivals, but also the best friends in the Heavenly Domain.

If possible, the Sword Saint would naturally hope that Nameless could stay and explore the pinnacle of swordsmanship with him.

Ignoring the love-hate relationship between the Sword Saint and the Nameless One, Li Hao turned to Xiong Ba and asked, "What are your plans?"

Xiong Ba's expression was incredibly complex as he stared blankly at the end of the Path to Heaven, his eyes filled with fascination.

He took a deep breath. "It's time to say goodbye to this place."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't you want to glimpse the pinnacle of cultivation and achieve immortality?"

Xiong Ba shook his head slightly and sighed, "Xiong Ba once thought he had reached the pinnacle of martial arts, a first-rate master in the martial world. But after coming here, I realized that I was just a frog in a well, and the sky I saw was only a tiny bit of what I wanted to see."

Since arriving in the Heavenly Domain, I have gained so much. Immortality is so tempting, and I, Xiong Ba, desire it just as much. But compared to immortality, I long to see my daughter one day draped in the crimson glow of the sunset.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, otherwise I'm afraid I'll change my mind."

Xiong Ba laughed loudly, then rode the wind away.

Clearly, as he himself said, he might change his mind if he stayed.

Li Hao watched Xiong Ba's departing figure and couldn't help but smile.

interesting.

Uncle Nine sighed, "Even the worst people in this world have a soft side. I didn't think much of Xiang Xiong Ba before, but now my opinion of him has changed a lot."

The Xiao Nannan exclaimed in praise, "Xiong Ba, very good!"

Li Hao smiled but offered no comment.

He turned to Zagusia, cupped his hands in farewell, and said, "Farewell."

Zagusia hurriedly said, "Wait, Brother Li, which world do you plan to go to in the future? Maybe we'll meet again."

Li Hao, along with Angel Yan and the others, gracefully departed on the wind, laughing loudly, "If fate allows, we will meet again."

Li Hao had a rather favorable impression of Heavenly Domain and Zaku's chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

The existence of the Heavenly Domain refreshed his understanding of transmigrators Heavens and Myriad Worlds and changed his views on the powerful beings of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

In this cruel world, there are not only plunderers, but also Santa Claus!

Zaku shouted, "Brother Li, be careful! The war has begun, and Heavens and Myriad Worlds are in chaos. Run if you encounter trouble, and don't get entangled in battle. We're going to find the Heavenly Path to the Primordial Origin Great World next. See you later!"

Li Hao's pupils constricted slightly.

The Primordial Origin Great World!?

Heavenly Path!?

Li Hao turned his head to look at the Heavenly Domain. The Xuanwu, which reached the heavens and the earth, swayed slightly and flew out of the Wind and Cloud Great World.

A year later, the world of Wind and Cloud has returned to calm.

"Ding, mission complete, perfect rating. Rewards are being tallied, please wait."

"You have been granted one chance to draw a Celestial Treasure. After testing, you have one more chance to draw a Celestial Treasure. Otherwise, the two chances will be merged and upgraded."

Li Hao snapped out of his daze after reading the information left by Zaku and asked in confusion, "Fusion upgrade?"

"After the fusion upgrade, the chance of drawing high-quality treasures increases."

Li Hao suddenly realized, then asked curiously, "Can I save my chance to participate in the lottery and wait for another upgrade?"

Chat Group: "Sure, but the task rewards are random, and the process might take a while."

Li Hao casually replied, "Then I'll keep it for now. Anyway, I don't lack immortal artifacts these days."

Li Hao still possesses two fragments of innate supreme treasures, as well as the Weapon Art from the Three Arts of Heaven and Earth. Ordinary immortal artifacts hold no particular significance for him.

When Li Hao asked about the reward, the others also smiled.

The Xiao Nannan's lips curled slightly, revealing a stunning smile on her beautiful face.

"Twenty thousand points, that feels good," the Xiao Nannan said with a smile.

Angel Yan smiled and said, "I also have 20,000 points."

Uncle Nine looked miserable and said aggrievedly, "Why do you all have 20,000 points, but I only have 10,000 points, plus a single Innate Eight Trigrams Technique?"

The Xiao Nannan asked in confusion, "The art of the Eight Trigrams?"

Uncle Nine said aggrievedly, "It's nothing, just a high-grade Earth-rank great divine ability."

Li Hao rolled his eyes.

Uncle Nine, you've gone too far!

A high-grade Earth-rank divine ability is worth far more than 10,000 points. You're overdoing it with your bragging.

Angel Yan and Xiao Nannan both saw through Uncle Nine's intentions.

So Angel Yan's answer was quite simple: she casually unleashed a bolt of lightning at Uncle Nine: "You show-off, may you be struck by lightning!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and Uncle Nine's hair instantly bristled like a hedgehog, making him look like a non-mainstream individual.

He stared at Angel Yan in disbelief, his lips trembling, unable to utter a word.

Goddess, is it really necessary?

I just wanted to show off a little.

Pshaw, I absolutely didn't mean to show off, absolutely not. I just, well, I really feel it's not worth it, that's right, that's it.

Also, why didn't you retaliate with lightning speed when the group owner was showing off, but I—cough cough—maybe I was just a little bit rude, and you immediately unleashed a bolt of lightning?

Uncle Nine felt very wronged, extremely wronged.

Faced with Angel Yan, Uncle Nine ultimately lacked the courage to argue, and could only sigh silently in his heart, "As the ancients said, 'Only petty men and women are difficult to deal with,' how true that is!"

Li Hao patted Uncle Nine on the shoulder and laughed loudly, "Showing off will get you struck by lightning."

Uncle Nine's face twitched slightly.

Group admin, aren't you afraid of retribution for saying that?

Of the whole group, you're the one who loves to show off the most, okay?

The Xiao Nannan chuckled softly, then looked at Li Hao and said, "Brother Li, I'm leaving now."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Take care."

The Xiao Nannan left with a smile.

She gained a lot from this mission, and the Xiao Nannan was very satisfied with it.

Uncle Nine shrugged, glanced sideways at Li Hao and Angel Yan, and sighed, "In broad daylight, a lone man and a lone woman, heh heh, I'm off."

As he spoke, Uncle Nine gave Li Hao and Angel Yan an ambiguous smile, then darted back into his own world.

Li Hao didn't seem to care about Uncle Nine's teasing.

Angel Yan glared at him, about to explode.

However, Uncle Nine was clearly on guard against Angel Yan's attack, running faster than a rabbit.

Having no one to vent her anger on, Angel Yan saw Li Hao's smiling face and snorted irritably, "What, this angel is right here, wanting to take a kiss?"

As she spoke, she puffed out her magnificent, towering breasts in a defiant manner.

Li Hao put his arm around Angel Yan's slender waist, leaned down and kissed her cheek, laughing loudly, "This is what you asked for, how could this group leader refuse?"

Angel Yan stared blankly at Li Hao, two rosy blushes appearing on her pretty face.

That bastard!

Taking advantage of Angel Yan's Angel Yan daze, Li Hao winked at her playfully and then left the Wind and Cloud World.

Angel Yan didn't realize what was happening until Li Hao had left.

She unconsciously touched her still-damp cheek, her pretty face flushed as she muttered a curse under her breath, "Bastard, coward, you renege on your promise after you've eaten me. Bah, this angel wasn't eaten!"

After the events in the Heavenly Domain, the Wind and Cloud World fell into complete tranquility.

The departure of so many masters will inevitably cause irreversible changes to this world. No one knows where the Wind and Cloud World will go, nor does anyone know what this world will ultimately become.

But the legends about witches and the Heavenly Domain are destined to be passed down Eternal.

The changes were most significant at the World Association World Association headquarters, where a stone statue of a young man was added to the plaza.

A carefree smile, a look of utter disdain for the world.

The stone statues were so lifelike, possessing an awe-inspiring presence. So much so that every time Nie Feng saw them, he would doubt whether the group leader he knew was really real.

It's unbelievable that the group admin can be this handsome.
