The Name of Eternity.

Chapter 561: Disciple of Heavenly Disaster
After the battle, Shen Wuji looked frustrated. He looked at Li Hao deeply, then turned around and walked off the stage dejectedly.

Losing to Li Hao, the Nine Sequence Immortal Seal, and a soul lifespan of only a hundred years, the pride in his heart was completely shattered. If Li Hao had a soul lifespan of a thousand years, he could still find other reasons in his heart to comfort himself, but now, he couldn't even find this comfort, he was completely inferior to his opponent in skills!
"Master!"

The old man from the Ancient God Clan came forward, and when he saw Shen Wuji's eyes, his heart was shocked, and he suddenly became extremely nervous, fearing that Shen Wuji's Taoism would collapse and he would never recover.

Although Tianjiao is sharp and powerful, like a peerless sword drawn from its sheath, once the sword is blunted, all its brilliance will be lost.

"I am fine."

Shen Wuji spoke in a low, hoarse voice. He said one sentence and then lowered his head silently without saying anything else.

Compared with his previous wild eyes, arrogant demeanor and disdainful look, he now looked like a defeated peacock, but without obvious dejection. He just became more restrained and his eyes were undergoing a transformation.

As a top genius, he felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment, but this battle did not defeat him completely, and his heart of Tao did not collapse. It was just that his heart changed, becoming different from before, more introverted, and awakening to something sharper.

The old man from the Ancient God Clan had no idea what his young master was thinking. His face was full of worry, but he didn't know how to persuade him. This kind of thing was a rare opportunity, and it was something that everyone would inevitably face in life. No one could always be victorious. The sooner they failed, the sooner they would realize their mistakes.

However, whether one can rise from failure depends entirely on one's personal ability and character.

"Hmm? That young man...is the Supreme waving at him?"

Suddenly, the old man from the Ancient God Clan said in surprise.

Hearing his words, Shen Wuji, who had been keeping his head down in silence, was slightly startled and looked up.

The only thing that could move his heart at this moment was the young man on the stage.

In his heart, the status of the geniuses from other big families is far inferior to that of this young man, unless the two direct disciples of the supreme being and the guy from the imperial family are also present.

On the imperial stage, after Shen Wuji left, Li Hao also gathered his strength and prepared to step down.

But suddenly, the Supreme in the mist raised his hand and waved to him gently, and a voice appeared in his mind:

"Child, come here."

When Li Hao heard the voice, he looked towards the Supreme of Heavenly Palace, but saw that the other party was looking down calmly. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his eyes. When he met his gaze, Li Hao felt as if he was trapped in the sea and quagmire, immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. His soul seemed to be quickly withdrawing from his body, and his consciousness felt like it was collapsing and separating.

Li Hao's pupils shrank slightly, and he felt a little horrified. Is this the power of the Immortal Emperor? Just looking into his eyes made Li Hao feel crazy.

The other party's imperial eyes contained a terrifying spiritual power. Although it was not deliberately targeted or revealed, it was still impossible to look directly at it.

It's like an abyss; just standing on the edge and taking a look can make people feel dizzy and like they are falling.

Although he didn't understand why the other party was looking for him, Li Hao still flew out from the imperial platform and flew towards the other party obediently.

Perhaps it was because of his performance in the previous battle that he won the favor of the Supreme Lord of the Heavenly Palace? Li Hao thought to himself that this was possible. After all, he had just revealed the Nine Orders Immortal Seal, which was the standard requirement for the Immortal Emperor to accept disciples.

"Ok?"

Above the clouds, Emperor Chu and the others were surprised to see Li Hao flying over. Then they noticed that Li Hao was facing the Supreme of Heavenly Palace in front of him.

Their eyes moved slightly, and they all had guesses in their hearts, could it be that the Supreme Being of Heavenly Palace had developed a love for talent?

This is normal. After all, what is the purpose of these geniuses coming here to make a name for themselves in the Southern Region Battle? Isn't it to gain the favor of famous teachers and strong men, become their disciples, and get better training resources?

Although the Tianzong is the top sect in each immortal dynasty, how can it compare to the royal family? Moreover, there are many disciples in the sect, and they also have to weigh the pros and cons. If they can become disciples of a few more, the cultivation resources they can obtain will be even more abundant, which can also support the ultimate cultivation of the Tianjiao in various realms.

"Emperor Chu, congratulations, it seems that your son-in-law will become the direct descendant of the Supreme."

Beside him, Emperor Tian Zhao said with a smile, but his words contained a hint of teasing and gloating.

The eyes of the Emperor of Chu sank slightly. If Li Hao was a royal family member and became a disciple of the Supreme, that would be a good thing, but being just a consort... For a cultivator, a Taoist partner is not necessarily the only one. Like himself, he has many concubines in his harem, spanning a long period of time. He has met saints and geniuses from various races in his adventures, and he has formed a good relationship with them.

Because of this, he knew that his status as a son-in-law alone would not be enough to tie Li Hao down.

"This is a good thing. In the future, the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty will also be able to get help from the Supreme of the Heavenly Palace. I hope that you can send more troops to help us in the future and defeat the ancient demon together."

Beside him, the Emperor of Jin smiled and said, his words sounded like congratulations, but also like sarcasm, both feelings were expressed very obscurely, making it impossible to tell his true thoughts.

The Emperor of Chu did not say anything, but just stared at Li Hao's back. He understood that the words of the Emperor of Jin had another layer of reminder.

At this time, Li Hao had already arrived before the Supreme of Heavenly Palace.

Seeing this scene, countless people on the top of the mountain were shocked, exclaiming and envious.

"Look, Haotian has arrived in front of the Supreme."

"It must be a summons from the Supreme Being, otherwise how would he dare?"

"What does this mean? Does the Supreme want to accept him as his disciple?!"

"Are you surprised? With Haotian's aptitude, it's normal for him to become the direct disciple of the Supreme Being."

Countless people looked at this scene in amazement and envy. Although they were surprised, considering Li Hao's performance in the battle just now, it seemed natural.

In the crowd, Jianxin and Mingyue's eyes changed slightly, they looked at each other, and both stood up and flew towards their master.

If the other party becomes the master's disciple, he will be their junior fellow apprentice from now on.

In the Dameng Jiuyuan Sect, Lord Dameng, Li Tiemu and others were all stunned and then looked at each other.

They had not expected this scene, but it seemed so reasonable that they were all a little at a loss as to what to do.

"The Supreme One wants to accept a junior disciple?"

"This……"

Yue Xi and Gu Yan were both stunned, and then a complicated look appeared in their eyes, but they were happy for Li Hao in their hearts.

Being able to become a disciple of the Supreme is a great opportunity, but in this way, the gap between themselves and Li Hao will become even greater, and it is still unknown whether they can still be called a "junior brother" in the future.

Amid the uproar and envy of the crowd, Li Hao bowed slightly to the Supreme Being of Heavenly Palace and said hello.

The look in the eyes of the Supreme Lord of Heaven Palace did not change from beginning to end. It was as calm as water, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He said slowly:

"Haotian, huh? You are so talented, where do you come from?"

Li Hao's eyes changed slightly, and he whispered, "I am from Yanchu."

"You were not born in Yanchu, were you?"

The Supreme of Heavenly Palace said calmly, but there was a hint of indifference in his voice.

Li Hao was stunned and looked up at the supreme being, but he only saw a pair of imperial eyes like candlelight in the abyss, looking down at him, emitting great majesty, which made him want to kneel down and crawl.

But his heart of Taoism was eternal, and he remained sober from the majesty, feeling secretly awed in his heart.

Could it be that the Supreme's words were based on his own background?

Yes, the Immortal Emperor is the ultimate realm of the real world and the destination of practitioners. He possesses incredible power that he cannot even imagine or fathom.

All disguises may be meaningless in the face of such an existence.

Besides, the place where he was born was not shameful.

He replied, "Junior is from the pseudo-world of Tianhuai." As his clear voice fell, Li Hao suddenly felt that the clouds around him were flowing slowly. The noisy voices of envy on the top of the mountain suddenly became quiet. There were only a few surprised and puzzled inquiries, but in this silence, they seemed quite loud.

Li Hao was puzzled and looked up, but the expression of the Supreme in front of him remained unchanged and he could not tell what he was thinking.

He turned his gaze around, but saw that except for Emperor Chu, the other emperors of the Immortal Dynasty were looking at him with strange expressions on their faces.

On the ground, many sect leaders and elders of the various immortal sects were all surprised, with a look of sudden realization and complicated expressions.

Li Hao was a little confused. Could it be that he said something wrong?
"What's wrong."

"What happened?"

In the crowd, some young boys and girls were asking the elders around them in confusion, but the elders had complicated looks and did not speak.

"Is the Heavenly Disaster Pseudo-Realm some extraordinary place? Why have I never heard of it?"

Some people looked at Li Hao in confusion and surprise, treating it as a mysterious holy place. The name alone was enough to scare countless people.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. That was a hundred thousand years ago..."

An old man lowered his head and responded to his offspring, his eyes showing a vicissitudes of life.

"Red tassel."

When Li Hao was confused, the Supreme of Heavenly Palace called out a name.

A red figure on the top of the mountain heard this, his eyes changed slightly, he stood up and flew over, and in a blink of an eye he landed beside Li Hao and bowed and said:

"Master."

Li Hao looked at the woman next to him. It was Chi Ying who had helped him when the Tianzang pseudo-world was invaded by ancient demons and had also rescued him.

When he came here, he already knew that the other party was the disciple of the supreme being in front of him, but not a direct disciple.

"You brought back a group of people from that false world of disaster. Was he him?"

The Supreme of Heavenly Palace said calmly.

Chiying nodded.

She had already reported the matter to her master at that time, and her master rarely asked about the details, and she explained them one by one. The one who impressed her the most was Li Hao. She also saw that he was a rare genius, but she did not expect that he would be able to reach the battlefield of the Southern Territory Battle in just a few years, and perform so brilliantly, defeating powerful tribes in a row.

Moreover, the Nine-Sequence Immortal Seal, which is the top-level immortal seal that she has never achieved, was actually mastered by the other party.

After receiving Chiying's answer, Tiangong Supreme looked at Li Hao quietly and said:

"You master forbidden immortal arts such as Qingtian, Huiguang, Wanying, and you come from the Tianyao pseudo-world. If I am not mistaken, you are the disciple of the sinful immortal Tianyao, right?"

It was fine when he heard the first half of the sentence, but when he heard the second half, Li Hao was stunned.

He looked up at the Supreme in front of him. Facing the pair of eyes full of pressure, he asked in doubt, "Sinful Immortal?"

At this time, the emperors of the Immortal Dynasty, such as Emperor Chu, also had their eyes slightly changed. They all realized that something was wrong and soon understood why the Supreme of Heavenly Palace summoned Li Hao.

"When he used those magic arts earlier, I guessed..."

The original empress's eyes changed slightly as she stared at the young man's back, but there was no shock in her eyes, just a hint of pity, but it was so subtle that no one noticed.

Emperor Tianzhao suddenly turned to look at Emperor Chu, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"Don't you know?"

The Supreme of Heavenly Palace saw Li Hao's puzzled look, his eyes calmed, and he said slowly:

"One hundred thousand years ago, the ancient demons swept across the True Realm. In that shocking battle, all of us Immortal Emperors joined forces to fight back. However, at that critical moment, some people retreated, causing the defense line to collapse. The ancient demons invaded and raged, and my Southern Region was severely damaged. Over the years, I have continuously used the power of the Heavenly Dao to nourish the Southern Region True Realm to maintain the current situation."

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word was like pearls, echoing on the top of the mountain and also reflected in the immortal cities in the southern region.

Countless people in the fairy cities of the Southern Region have heard about the deeds of the Supreme Lord of Heaven since childhood. This is why the Heavenly Palace is the center of the Southern Region and is respected and loved by countless people in the Southern Region.

It was the Supreme Lord of Heavenly Palace in front of him who had saved the Southern Region at great cost in that battle.

However, other major domains were devastated. After the war, it was the Heavenly Palace Supreme who helped the major clans in the Southern Domain to rebuild their defenses and rebuild the entire Southern Domain's current peaceful inner circle.

Although the current range of activities is ten times smaller than the prosperous period one hundred thousand years ago, the population has also been greatly reduced, and the ancient demons have occupied most of the star fields. The current situation is already the best outcome for all the tribes in the Southern Territory.

"What does the Supreme mean by this? Deserting from the battlefield? Could it be that he is saying..."

"Yes, do you remember the hunt 80,000 years ago?"

"That's right. During the taboos of the past, the ten great immortal arts that were once famous in the Southern Region were all listed as taboos. They were gradually lost and could no longer be displayed."

“Come to think of it, what Haotian just displayed seems to be the ten lost immortal arts. It seems that he is really the disciple of the Immortal Emperor!”

"As the descendant of the Sin Emperor, he actually dared to come to participate in the battle in the Southern Region. My God, is he really not afraid of death?"

"You can't say that. The one who made the mistake was the Immortal Emperor, not him. He only has a soul lifespan of a hundred years. His future and karma have nothing to do with him, right?"

In each immortal city, many of the older generation sighed with complicated expressions. They did not expect that this stunning monster was actually the disciple of the Immortal Emperor.

However, some figures in the immortal cities of Yan and Chu looked at the sky with shock, anger and nervousness, clenched their fists and said nothing.

Some of them are beggars on the street, some are brothels in the alleys, and some are old women beating clothes by the river. But in the long river of time, if you look back, you will find that they have been like this tens of thousands of years ago. Their neighbors have changed one after another, but they have not changed.

In the more ancient times, they were all clad in golden armor, were mighty in battle, and were influential in their respective regions, which was completely different from their present desolate state.

Listening to the words of the Supreme in Heaven, they clenched their fists, veins bulged on their faces, and the blood rage that had not surged for tens of thousands of years seemed to burst out from their chests at this moment. Cannibalistic looks appeared in their eyes, staring at the sky, but avoiding the eyes of the Supreme reflected in it, and just staring at the clouds around it.

That's right, even if they were furious to the point of madness, they didn't dare to look each other in the eye. This was not submission to the other's majesty, but a direct look with anger in their hearts. Even if they were thousands of miles apart, the Supreme Being would be able to see through and sense it.

"Ok?"

At this time, Jianxin and Mingyue, who flew to the edge of the clouds and rushed to the side of their master, were startled when they heard what their master said, and then looked at the young man.

They were so smart that they naturally knew what the master meant. They had heard their master mention this matter not long after they became his disciples and had been indignant about it. However, they had never expected that the disciple of the being that made them indignant was right before their eyes.

"Escape from battle?"

Li Hao looked at the Supreme of Heavenly Palace and was a little stunned. He had never heard Master Wang talk about such a thing.

Moreover, when he obtained the inheritance, only the Emperor's Soul Luo Li was left in the Emperor's Palace, and there were not many treasures left inside.

There weren't even any immortal stones given to him, only three IOUs!

This was so shabby, and it was enough to show that in that battle, the master he had never met had been burned out.

But the Supreme Being in front of him actually said that the other party deserted the battlefield?
"Supreme Lord, could this be a misunderstanding?"

Li Hao asked doubtfully.
