What followed was simple.
Through the Elders' Council's Grand Elder, once the other side lifted the restrictions, Li Su learned the intelligence on the strongholds scattered across Northern Kuru Continent.
There were thirty-two in total, fewer than he had imagined.
That made sense. The more there were, the greater the danger.
Two of them had very small populations, yet exceptionally strong combat power, with two Celestial Immortals apiece.

Moreover, judging by the strength of Ming Fangxiu and Elder Deer, aside from Crow King, they were stronger than any of the Eight Kings back then.
How many years had it been since the Eight Kings' massive invasion? Only a little over three years in total.
Not counting the time spent in special spaces, Li Su had begun cultivating at eighteen and was only twenty-four now.
In six short years, he had risen from an ordinary man all the way to the True Immortal realm. He was no longer far from becoming a Taiyi.
