The next day.
At the summons of the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord, all Five Dragons Guard stood by and were ready.
Before the gate of Five Dragons Mountain, the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord and the Wood Dragon Mountain Lord had been waiting for a long time.
Next to appear was the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord.
After emerging, the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced around and then stood still, seemingly waiting for someone.
All three of them knew who they were waiting for.
About a quarter of an hour later, two more figures appeared, one after the other, transforming into streaks of light.
One of them stood next to the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord, while the other landed in another corner.
These two were none other than Kun Ling, the leader of the Three Immortals Guard Zone, and the Water Dragon Mountain Lord.
Everyone knows what happened last night, but no one present said it aloud.
After all, it's a matter of mutual consent.
It's a win-win situation!
The Earth Dragon Mountain Lord couldn't help but whisper in the Wood Dragon Mountain Lord's ear, "Hey! Fourth Brother, this Commander Kun has such flirtatious eyes, I bet he's surrounded by countless beauties. I wonder if Second Brother can manage to get involved with him!"
"I don't know about that!" Wood Dragon Mountain Lord said calmly, "However, it's certain that this lord has many women around him; you can tell from his name alone!"
The Earth Dragon Mountain Lord asked with some curiosity, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Wood Dragon Mountain Lord: "What's his surname?"
"Kunbei!" The Earth Dragon Mountain Lord rolled his eyes at the Wood Dragon Mountain Lord.
Why did they ask about my surname out of the blue?
The Wood Dragon Mountain Lord smiled slightly, "Then... how about we take it apart from the top and bottom?"
Upon hearing this, the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord seemed to ponder, "If you break down 'Kun', it becomes 'Ribi'..."
"Holy shit!"
Before he could finish speaking, the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord realized what was happening, immediately screamed in fright, and then covered his mouth.
Japanese to Kun!
Damn, I almost got scammed by the Wood Dragon Mountain Lord.
Thinking of this, the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord glared fiercely at the Wood Dragon Mountain Lord.
"With an adult present, how dare you shout and yell like this! What kind of behavior is this!"
The sudden sound from the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord must have caught the attention of the other three, so the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord pretended to rebuke him.
The Earth Dragon Mountain Lord hurriedly apologized, "Yes, yes, yes! It was my fault!"
"Huh? Boss? Your cultivation level?"
As the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord apologized, his pupils suddenly dilated. Why did he sense that the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord's aura had become even stronger?
Could it be that he has achieved a breakthrough?
"Hehe! You spotted me?" The Gold Dragon Mountain Lord didn't bother to conceal his aura, so it wasn't surprising that the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord could detect him. "I've been stuck at this level for a long time, but I've made some progress this time and finally stepped into the Immortal Lord Fourth Heaven!"
"Hey! That's great! Doesn't that give us a much better chance of success on this trip?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of excitement appeared on the face of the Earth Dragon Mountain Lord.
This breakthrough is truly timely.
On the other side, the Water Dragon Mountain Lord, who had been keeping his head down, sensed the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord's words and discovered that he had indeed reached the fourth level of heaven.
She couldn't resist placing her finger on the storage ring on her other finger.
After one night, several pills appeared in her storage ring.
The commander of the Three Immortals Guard was a man of his word; once the matter was settled, he gave the reward on the spot.
If the other party was willing to give him pills, how could his good brother, the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord, be stingy with them?
The Gold Dragon Mountain Lord broke through to the Three Immortals Guard after his trip there. The Water Dragon Mountain Lord wouldn't believe it was possible without Kun Ling's help.
Thinking about this, the Water Dragon Mountain Lord finally understood everything that he had previously struggled with.
Last night was just a fleeting encounter for her; if she were to dwell on it and try to force herself into something more, it might only backfire.
Moreover, with those pills, she will soon be able to break through to a higher realm.
"Now that everything is ready, let's... set off!"
With a command given, the Gold Dragon Mountain Lord led nearly a thousand Five Dragons Guard toward the Emperor Palace.
Eternal Imperial Palace!
It has been almost five months since the last time the Fire Dragon Mountain Lord died.
During this period, apart from Lian Ruyue and her daughter shuttling back and forth between Little Bamboo Residence, the two secret realms, and the cultivation area, most of the members of the Su Imperial Clan lived their lives in an orderly manner.
They are even living a rather comfortable life now.
As for Su Ting and his group, they traveled between two points: the secret realm and the cultivation area.
Because those who went out first have not yet left the borders of the Primordial Rock Peak Empire, they naturally cannot set coordinates so that Su Ting and the others can get there.
During this time, the travelers had changed.
To put it simply, those who went out in the first batch left their coordinates at the original location and then returned to the Emperor Palace through the sub-arrays to continue their cultivation.
Then, those with stronger cultivation levels used the coordinates to reach the location of the first group and continued their journey.
The stronger one's cultivation level, the faster one can travel.
In this way, these advance troops were not truly delayed in their cultivation.
A few months is nothing to them.
For the Immortal Realm, seclusion often lasts for hundreds or even thousands of years. Their seclusion in the past few months is not even a fraction of what those people have been doing.
But you can't always rely on the same horse to travel the distance.
"Immortal!"
Within the Little Bamboo Residence, nineteen figures transformed into three and slowly emerged from the bamboo house.
Lian Ruyue and the other woman followed closely behind Su Chen, their bodies drenched in sweat, seemingly bearing the marks of a fierce battle.
However, by this time, both of their cultivation levels had already reached the True Immortal Seventh Heaven!
Lianxi was originally a step behind Lian Ruyue, but because Su Chen helped them improve their cultivation techniques and then they cultivated in the secret realm, the gap between her and Lian Ruyue has been completely shortened.
Originally, the difference between her and Lian Ruyue in the lower realm was only that of a Great Perfection Emperor Realm and a Half-Immortal.
But for immortals, both are the same.
Moreover, Lianxi's talent was no less than Lian Ruyue's; she was just a few thousand years behind Lian Ruyue in cultivation.
In addition, Su Chen gave the two of them special tutoring at close range.
They were almost able to catch up with Su Ting and the others.
Of course, the Source of All Spirits still holds a commanding lead.
Unless Su Chen forcibly raises their cultivation levels, it's impossible for them to surpass the Source of All Spirits.
"Go wash up!"
Su Chen glanced at the two of them and spoke.
Going out like this, it goes without saying what just happened here.
"Yes!"
The two women lowered their heads, then ran to the spring behind and jumped in.
" All Spirits!"
After the two left, Su Chen looked ahead, his eyes flashing, and spoke into the void.
"Owner!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of the Source of All Spirits appeared before Su Chen.
He can also come and go from this place at any time.
However, this place is essentially Su Chen's territory, and a private one at that, so unless Su Chen summons them, the Source of All Spirits will generally shield its senses.
It wouldn't be good if he heard something he shouldn't have heard or saw something he shouldn't have seen!
