After an incense stick.
Ke Ding's main body left the Immortal Tree Secret Realm. With a grave gaze, he looked toward the Eternal Night Western Land. There truly were rather too many Ancestors of the One Dao in that territory, and quite a few wielded Great Dao Immortal Artifacts as well.
It could be called one of the most terrifying territories in the Dao Struggle.
Only Shi Hong was exceptionally clever. He had never created a Dao, so he navigated this territory, where the Dao Struggle was so terrifying, with ease. He had secured his position as an Immortal Venerable of Ten Daos, and now several Dao Ancestors had no way to deal with him.
From what the Heavenly Dao Mirror showed, a Great Dao Immortal who had taken the first step was an Ancestor of the One Dao. They could battle a Six Tribulations Immortal of the Immortal Realm without being defeated. Their precise combat strength was difficult to distinguish—there were too many methods at their disposal. Yet they could all restrain one another, each with victories and defeats, and none could slay the others.
Only freaks with Immortal Spirit Roots like Meng Sheng could truly suppress an Ancestor of the One Dao. He had now broken through to the Seventh Tribulation, but he had entered a difficult stage, his cultivation advancing exceptionally slowly.
Though Shi Hong was a Five Tribulations Immortal, he cultivated ten Daos simultaneously. His immortal body was extraordinarily vast, not the slightest bit inferior to Meng Sheng when he had been at the Fifth Tribulation. He could battle the Ancestor of Dao Creation of the Eternal Night Western Land, and had even claimed victories before.
One had to know that in the Immortal Realm, fighting above one's cultivation level and winning was already exceedingly heaven-defying.
