Chapter 1799: Chapter 468: Winds Rise, Farewells

Di Wushè extended an invitation to Li Hao.

Li Hao’s various accomplishments in the Primordial True Realm have already spread through the various clans, heard and circulated among the Ten Thousand Clans of the True Realm.

"Alright."

Li Hao agreed with a smile.

Amid everyone’s farewell, Li Hao descended the mountain together with Shi Miao and the avatar of Long Qingge.

Originally, Li Hao planned to bid farewell to others such as Di Lincen and Su Wanqing, whom he was familiar with, but knowing they were busy cultivating, he could only let it go.

Gatherings are as fate allows, partings are as the wind.

With the wind rising now, it’s time for a farewell.

...

Deep within the Primordial True Realm, there lies a heavily guarded forbidden area.

This place is surrounded by peaks, yet at its core is a sunken basin, and at the deepest part of the basin is a cave.

The cave is pitch black and bottomless, seemingly untouched by the light of the sun and moon.

"Eighth Layer!"

At this moment, a figure soared out from the cave, their entire body radiating brilliant golden light, donned in Divine Armor.

"I could still try the Ninth Layer, but there’s no point. Wasting time here is meaningless."

The light outside the cave shone upon the figure’s face—it was the Divine Venerable.

This is his true form. Since his premature emergence from the Endless Heavenly Domain because of Li Hao, the greatest opportunity of the Immortal Monarch Realm was lost, leaving him to Breakthrough and seal as King.

Fortunately, he had deep foundations, and despite lacking the augmentation of Heavenly Dao Power, his Realm remains formidable!

One must know, in his previous life, he was Quasi-Emperor Realm, having refined multiple Superior Realms at the Immortal King Realm. Although he had not reached the fabled King’s Domain and wasn’t one of the Seven Monarchs of old, upon reaching the Quasi-Emperor Realm, he gained deeper insights, and upon his Rebuild, he has now condensed three types of Superior Realm Hearts!

The blending of these has made his current World Heart extremely powerful.

Given time, he will surely cultivate a King’s Domain Heart!

Though lacking Heavenly Dao Power and not reaching Perfection, it’s sufficient. Upon reaching Quasi-Emperor Realm, he will again seize Heavenly Dao Power, ultimately paving his own Emperor Road, which is the sole objective!

"With a King’s Domain, bolstered by Heavenly Dao Power, combined with the awakened Quasi-Emperor Power of my previous life—this lifetime, I shall be invincible—that damned bastard!"

Thinking of Li Hao, the Divine Venerable’s eyes showed intense hatred and a desire to kill. The opponent usurped the master’s legacy and ruined his opportunity; he wishes to devour Li Hao alive!

What was once a perfect life has been marred, flawed, incomplete.

"Those things from the past, I should also quickly reclaim them. That kid should have Broken Through and sealed as King by now. With his foundation, passing the Seventh Layer shouldn’t be difficult. I wonder if the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor will keep him as a canary by his side or send him out, but likely will grant means for preservation..."

His eyes subtly flickered, knowing it would be extremely difficult to deal with a disciple cherished by an Immortal Emperor—defeating him isn’t enough.

"Hmph, don’t let me encounter you..."

His eyes flickered; though resentful, his goal is to pave the Emperor Road, not to exhaust all energy on revenge. If he can become Emperor, then revenge would naturally be at hand, and the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be able to protect him!

...

In the Chaos Sea.

A group of figures stood within the Chaos Hall, all with respectful expressions.

"You two have awakened Ancestor Emperor Power. Although you’ve just stepped into the Immortal King Realm, you can easily pass through the Ninth Layer of the Original Demon Cave, making you outstanding among this generation’s Immortal King Realm."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor gazed peacefully at the two disciples at the forefront of the hall, both women—Luo Ningshuang and Su Wanyi.

"To my knowledge, those few Chaos Ancient Clans in the Original Land have also Broken Through and sealed as King, yet haven’t awakened the True Blood Emperor Power of the Chaos Ancient Clan. Previously, you were evenly matched at the Immortal Lord Realm, but now they’re behind you."

The Chaos Immortal Emperor smiled slightly and said, "But beware of complacency; perhaps they will catch up by refining a King’s Domain and narrowing the gap."

Luo Ningshuang’s dress fluttered, emitting a lingering Immortal Qi aura. She responded calmly, "If they can cultivate a King’s Domain, so can we; at that time we’ll still outstrip them, not giving them any opportunity to stand alongside!"

Since the awakening of Ancestor Emperor Power, her eyes and demeanor have clearly changed, gaining an additional measure of calm and a Supreme-like domineering aura.

"Indeed, we will become the ultimate existence within the Immortal King Realm!"

Su Wanyi also spoke composedly, her eyes revealing a serene confidence—not intense or obvious, but an unquestionable certainty!

Upon hearing her sister’s words, Su Muqing and others showed happiness and admiration, all in awe of their eldest sister.

To stand at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Clans in the True Realm at the Immortal King Realm is such an honor, and their Su Family will undoubtedly be known among the clans!

The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, believing these two disciples can accomplish it. However, neither reached the zenith at the Immortal Lord Realm, so refining a King’s Domain among those few Chaos Ancient Clans will also be difficult.

"King’s Domain is not easily cultivated. You will now descend the mountain for training, returning to your clans. Luo Ningshuang, you hail from the Eastern Domain, where there’s a disciple under my tutelage who will assist you; if you encounter great danger, the Emperor Token I’ve given you will preserve your life."

"Thank you, Master."

Luo Ningshuang nodded, then thought of something and asked, "Master, what about the disciple of the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor? Will he also descend the mountain for training?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wanyi also subtly raised her head and looked at her master.

"Are you referring to that young man named Haotian?"

The Chaos Immortal Emperor smiled slightly, "According to the Dao Origin Immortal Emperor, he will also descend the mountain for training, with no intention to confine him on Extreme Dao Mountain, as staying there would only extinguish his brilliance."

"Which layer has he challenged at the Original Demon Cave?"

Luo Ningshuang’s eyes narrowed as she inquired.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor immediately discerned her intentions, stating calmly, "He hasn’t awakened Ancestor Emperor Power nor is he the reincarnation of a strong figure. This time his descent is granted without challenge to the Original Demon Cave."

"No challenge?"

Luo Ningshuang was taken aback, unconsciously furrowing her brows. Originally, she intended to gauge their current difference in strength by assessing the layers he challenged, only to find out he hadn’t challenged at all.

"Senior Sister, without Ancestor Emperor Power, he cannot catch up to you. Just having Broken Through and sealed as King, passing the Seventh Layer is already quite challenging."

Lin Zhexuan said to Luo Ningshuang, his face displaying a gentle and warm smile.

Luo Ningshuang slightly nodded; she understood well without needing his reminder, as Master had mentioned before, Ancestor Emperor Power is comparable to the existence of a King’s Domain. And refining a King’s Domain requires not only exceptional talent but accumulated foundation over many years.

Top prodigies throughout history only had a slim chance to refine a King’s Domain and transform into a True King at the seventh or eighth layers of the Immortal King Realm.

"Master, has Haotian already descended the mountain?"

Su Wanqing couldn’t help but ask.

Beside her, Su Muqing also wanted to speak but was a step slower.

The Chaos Immortal Emperor nodded slightly, "He has already descended the mountain."

Hearing this, Su Wanqing’s eyes turned dim and somewhat forlorn.

Beside her, Su Muqing clenched her fingers tightly, knowing that he had left the Su Family without a word, she couldn’t find any trace of him; now, she knows he has descended, but she cannot follow, for her cultivation and insight on Chaos Star haven’t concluded, unable to Breakthrough and seal as King.

"Brother Haotian is always ahead of us..."

Di Lincen murmured upon hearing this, his lips filled with both sighs and smiles, feeling glad for Li Hao.

The sisters of the Ghost Tribe nodded slightly, deeply agreeing; the young man’s pace of progress is too swift, they already feel as though they have been left far behind.

"Maybe, only when he is stuck at the bottleneck of the Quasi-Emperor Realm can we catch up."

Ghost Ling Yue whispered.

Lin Zhexuan’s eyes glimmered slightly upon hearing this, clenching his fist.

"That guy..."

Beside him, Ming Yue’s eyes flickered. Her senior brother learned Sword Heart under the tutelage of a different Immortal Emperor, cultivating Sword Dao, while she apprenticed under Chaos, though not becoming a Direct Disciple, she is staying temporarily but receives cultivation resources not inferior to a direct inheritor.

She remembered their century-old pact against each other in the Southern Domain, long since passed.

Neither of them mentioned this duel, understanding well that the outcome was decided long ago and not mentioned because he likely didn’t have her on his mind.
