Whoosh!
Li Xian's figure abruptly appeared in Ascending to Immortality City.
Even though he had already returned to Ascending to Immortality City, the regret in his voice would not fade.
"The Holy Son of the Nine Heavens Sacred Ground!"
This Holy Son was a ruthless figure powerful enough to dare ambush Yi Daozi!
And Yi Daozi...
He treated others kindly, and although no accounts of him slaying True Lords had circulated, more than one Ninth-Realm Demon King had died at his hands!
Ninth-Realm Demon Kings were equivalent to True Lords among cultivators.
Since Di Que dared ambush him, his strength presumably did not fall far short of Yi Daozi's. At the very least, he was on Gu Qianfan's level.
"What a pity."
Li Xian sighed.
Then something else occurred to him. "That said, although I haven't achieved my goal of reaching Spirit Refining in five years, in terms of combat strength, I'm already on the same level as Yi Yuanshi. There are still four years left until our ten-year duel. In another six months to a year at most, Supreme Elder Zhuoyong should finish forging that Ninth-Realm Dharma Treasure. Once I have it, I can bring my sword intent to perfection and activate my divine sense. If I keep growing at this rate, by the time the battle actually begins four years from now..."
Yi Daozi would probably find it difficult to pose a mortal threat to him anymore.
He wondered whether he should bring the duel forward.
As he pondered, a streak of light came hurtling through the air.
It was Elder Bishui, who was currently overseeing affairs in Ascending to Immortality City.
"Dao Seed Li."
This Six-Mark Elder, who was more than seven hundred years older than Li Xian and possessed Spirit Refining Peak cultivation, greeted him warmly
