Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven Opens, Ancient Immortal Tomb

Omniscient Li: "@Lin Jiu, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Jiu: "My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Staying in my hometown will make it difficult to make breakthroughs or gain enough points. I originally planned to travel the world recently and look for new missions to earn more points."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Clapping. jpg, Great job, Uncle Nine has potential and ambition."

Xu Xian: "Laughing and crying. jpg, Uncle Nine is amazing. I... never mind, once things are settled at home, I'll go traveling and study for a while, and see if I can find some tasks to do."

Ning Caichen: "I will also strive to learn from all of you seniors."

Goddess Leona: "Hmm, Lin Jiu, good luck! If you have any problems, contact this goddess. And don't forget to spread the word about this goddess's fame!"

Uncle Nine was both amused and exasperated, shaking his head, unsure of what to say.

What else can I say?

Li Hao did not inquire about Uncle Nine's future plans in detail, nor did the others press him for details.

After exchanging a few brief words, everyone logged off one after another.

Li Hao first took a nice nap while cuddling with Little Daji, then went to the Azure Great World to visit the lovely goddess, and also met with the Pope's servant to learn in detail about the development of the Azure Empire during this period, as well as other matters.

In addition, Li Hao did not forget to visit the Demon Queen Morgana.

During her time in the Azure Great World, Morgana had gained a general understanding of the situation here. She was quite satisfied with the Morgana Azure Great World because many Demi-Humans were very interested in the idea of corrupt freedom, which greatly strengthened the power of the demon race.

Most importantly, thanks to Li Hao's intervention and reminders, Ashe did not particularly interfere with Morgana's expansion. This allowed Morgana, now free from constraints, to become completely excited and unrestrained, recklessly expanding her territory and warriors. However, she still retained some rationality. Although she was expanding recklessly, she always maintained a bottom line, not expanding into Ashe's territory, but mainly absorbing rebels who disobeyed Ashe's orders.

Li Hao enjoyed his time at the Azure Great World exceptionally well.

Because the main god was no longer causing trouble or threatening him, and because his injuries needed time to heal, Li Hao stayed in the Azure Great World for half a year before returning to his own world.

In the past six months, he has been cultivating with Ashe every day, and has also taken the opportunity to favor the sexy and alluring female pope. Not only has his cultivation been fully restored, but he has also touched the edge of becoming a Golden Immortal.

Li Hao had a feeling that all it took was a small opportunity for him to step into a completely new field.

Golden Immortals are different from Celestial Immortals. If Celestial Immortals only have longevity, Golden Immortals have already reached the stage of immortality.

The Immortal Kingdom will never perish, and the golden immortals will never die.

When Li Hao returned from the Azure Great World, he was greeted by Xiao Daji's excited cheers.

Little Daji clung to Li Hao, nuzzling him with her little head, her beautiful face flushed with a lovely, delicate blush like a rose.

"Master, Master, have you missed me?" Little Daji looked at Li Hao expectantly with her big, watery eyes, her fluffy fox tail swaying back and forth, as if she wanted her master to come and praise her.

Feeling the warm, soft flesh in his arms, Li Hao couldn't help but feel a surge of desire, even after enjoying a decadent life in the Azure Great World for half a year.

He smiled and patted Little Daji's head, gently stroking her soft fox ears, and said with a smile, "Yes, Master thinks of Little Daji every day."

Upon hearing this, Little Daji burst into laughter.

She gave Li Hao a quick kiss on the cheek and said cheerfully, "Little Daji missed Master so much too."

Li Hao, holding Xiao Daji, sat down on the sofa with a smile. He wrapped his arms around the beauty's slender waist and said, "Tell me, has anything happened at home recently?"

Little Daji frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "There are two things."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "One is that there have been changes in the Mount Tai area, and the opening of the Grotto-Heaven should be just a matter of the next day or two. The other is that something seems to have happened to the Grotto-Heaven in the Pacific Ocean. Piao Miao didn't go into details, but judging from her expression, the situation probably isn't too good."

Li Hao frowned slightly, his right hand unconsciously playing with Xiao Daji's soft, large tail. After a moment of silence, he dialed Piao Miao's number.

"You're such a busy person."

As soon as the call connected, Li Hao heard Piao Miao's complaints.

However, Piao Miao only complained once and didn't dwell on the matter. She changed the subject and said directly, "I heard from Daji that you were injured. How are you now? Are you feeling any better? I'm not just concerned about you, I'm worried that you won't be able to face the challenges ahead."

Li Hao chuckled inwardly.

This guy's gotten arrogant.

Li Hao said lazily, "What does the challenge have to do with me?"

Piao Miao gritted her teeth; if she could see Li Hao, she would have loved to bite him.

She snorted angrily.

What a jerk, what a cheapskate.

Piao Miao: "What a boring man."

Li Hao laughed and said, "Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Tell me about what's been going on lately."

Piao Miao: "The Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven has opened."

The Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven has opened!

Li Hao was completely stunned and couldn't quite process what was happening.

Didn't Little Daji say she would have to wait a while?

Li Hao asked in confusion, "How is the situation now?"

Piao Miao: "Not too good, but not too bad either. Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven has been open for two days, but there has been no special reaction yet. We have already sent people to Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven to investigate. The location where the Heavenly Gate opened is a beautiful, deep mountain forest. However, the strange thing is that, although it is a deep mountain forest, the scouts have not found any signs of any living beings near the portal."

The Academy of Sciences is still investigating the situation and environment of Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven, but has not yet received any useful information. All tests are normal, and there are no toxic gases or other dangerous substances that could affect the continuation of life.

Li Hao was increasingly astonished as he listened.

There's nothing there, so why is there no sign of life?

Could it be the territory of some powerful creature, and the other weaker creatures have been driven out?

Li Hao was puzzled, but since he had never gone to Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven to investigate, he could not draw any specific conclusions.

Li Hao: "If there's anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to ask."

Piao Miao's expression relaxed slightly, and her tone became gentler. "Thank you, but we haven't figured out the situation of Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven yet, so we won't let you take any risks easily."

Li Hao smiled but didn't say anything.

With his current cultivation level, there's nothing to fear in this world. Even if ordinary immortals or gods appeared, Li Hao was confident that, aside from those at the Golden Immortal level or higher, he wouldn't have anything to worry about.

Just as Li Hao was about to speak, the Chat Group suddenly started playing.

"Special Mission Triggered: Ancient Mysteries"

"Ancient Mysteries: Why did the ancient world shatter? What secrets do the Golden Age and Silver Age hold? Search for the answers hidden deep within the Bitter Sea, and explore the truth behind the world's shattering. Quest Reward: Random."

Special Note: The answer to the question that exists within Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven.

Li Hao asked in surprise, "Is there an answer to the question Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven?"

Chat Group: "The Grotto-Heaven has opened, and the quest will be triggered automatically."

Li Hao pondered for a moment and said, "So, I need to go to the Grotto-Heaven in person."

Chat Group: "The Chat Group is only responsible for triggering tasks, but will not interfere with how the group owner completes the tasks."

Li Hao rolled his eyes.

What's the difference between saying that and not saying anything at all?

However, since the answer to the question lies within the Grotto-Heaven, I still need to make a trip there. I wonder what the situation is like inside the Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven.

Just as Li Hao was pondering, the Piao Miao voice suddenly became panicked and urgent. "Something's wrong, something's happened in Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven."

Li Hao was startled. Could it be such a coincidence?

He hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Piao Miao: "We lost contact with the exploration team Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven. Before losing contact, they only sent back a few brief messages: Guangchengzi, Immortal Tomb, Inheritance, Trial, Failure, Destruction."

Li Hao muttered to himself, "Guangchengzi was a famous cultivator in ancient times, a Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect in the Myth, and one of the Yellow Emperor's teachers. I just don't know what kind of existence Guangchengzi is in this world, but he probably won't be too bad."

The Immortal Tomb—I wonder if the so-called immortals are from this small world or from Heavens and Myriad Worlds. If they are from Heavens and Myriad Worlds, then that would be truly extraordinary.

Inheritance, this should be related to the tasks in the Chat Group, the mystery of antiquity.

Trial, failure, destruction—perhaps failure in the trial leads to destruction, or perhaps it refers to the destruction of the Grotto-Heaven upon failure; the exact situation is uncertain. However, based on current information, the Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven must be hiding a great secret, an extraordinary secret."

Meanwhile, at Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven.

Fifteen minutes after the exploration team lost contact, the spatial portal to Mount Tai Grotto-Heaven became unstable.

The once crystal-clear spatial gate rippled violently, like a calm lake surface tossed with pebbles. As the spatial gate trembled, terrifying power began to gather, triggering a roar of spiritual energy in Mount Tai. The surging spiritual energy transformed into a boundless tsunami, surging in all directions.

The concentration of spiritual energy around Mount Tai is increasing at an unbelievable rate.

The unusual phenomenon attracted attention from all directions.

In no time, news and rumors about the changes in Mount Tai spread all over the internet.

It's just that Mount Tai has long been sealed off by the military, so ordinary people have no idea about or how the specific changes have changed. However, the Emperor Mountain Mount Tai had already happened once before, and this wasn't the first time a spatial gate had opened in the world, so many people had guessed the general situation.

Ordinary people naturally have very mixed feelings about the opening of the Mount Tai spatial gate.

Some hope that the opening of the spatial gate will increase the concentration of spiritual energy, thereby forming a brand-new sacred place for cultivation, just like Emperor Mountain and its surrounding areas.

However, some worry that the changes in Mount Tai may become uncontrollable, leading to a tragedy similar to that of the France and the Milen Federation.

However, this matter did not trouble people for long.

Before news of the Mount Tai incident had spread throughout the land, strange phenomena suddenly occurred.

A mighty voice echoed throughout the Bitter Sea!
