This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Li Daoxuan and Di Hao.

This was the first meeting between two truly powerful individuals, even though they were separated by a curtain.

But their eyes met as if there were no obstruction between them.

Li Daoxuan met the world's undisputed supreme powerhouse for the first time—the God of War.

I also gained a more thorough understanding of the martial arts training system.

Previously, I had only heard about it or read about it in some ancient books. It was said that the Martial God Realm was the transformation of a Martial Embryo, which had a divine soul and agility, into a True God of Martial Dao.

But after seeing the God of War in person, Li Daoxuan realized that the God of War was not so simple.

In addition to the fusion of divine soul and qi, the flesh and blood of the Martial God's true form have also undergone an extreme transformation.

Every drop of blood, every bone contains an astonishing life force.

This not only grants the God of War a lifespan of thousands of years, but also makes him almost immortal.

According to Li Daoxuan's speculation, as long as the God of War's soul is not directly destroyed and its spirit scattered, the God of War will probably be able to recover quickly.

His vital energy was like a vast ocean.

It's practically impossible to see through.

He truly deserves the title of "God".

"With such a physique, even ordinary celestial weapons might not be able to harm the true body of a Martial God..."

Li Daoxuan thought to himself.

While he was pondering countless thoughts, little did he know that Emperor Hao also found Li Daoxuan somewhat unbelievable.

In terms of the primordial spirit realm, there is still a certain gap between Di Hao and Li Daoxuan.

Therefore, he was unable to see through Li Daoxuan's true nature.

However, one can glean some clues from the subtle details of the energy flow.

At this moment, in Di Hao's eyes, Li Daoxuan was like a cloud, a breeze, a plain stone by the roadside, or a weed sprouting from the soil.

Tiny, ordinary, yet elusive.

It's as if he's the most easily overlooked person standing there.

Formless and without appearance, yet omnipresent.

What puzzled Di Hao even more was that he did not sense the vast, ocean-like fluctuations of blood and qi from Li Daoxuan.

He was just an ordinary person.

But upon closer inspection, Li Daoxuan also exudes an ethereal quality that transcends worldly affairs.

"Interesting... This person is at least a Martial God, but... why is he so strange?"

"They don't seem like people from this era..."

Di Hao was puzzled and became more interested in Li Daoxuan.

However, this is not the time to face a test.

Neither of them made any move.

As for others, it would be impossible for them to notice anything unusual about the two.

Even Wang Jingshu was the same.

After everyone in the square paid their respects, the Zhenyue Venerable of the Hongyu Imperial Clan jumped off his mount. His tall and imposing body descended from the sky like a small mountain, crashing down in the center of the square.

He didn't deliberately exude the aura of a demigod, but he still gave people an overwhelming sense of pressure.

The onlookers even instinctively stepped back.

Venerable Zhenyue looked around and found that there were not many people who dared to meet his gaze.

He couldn't help but sneer inwardly:

"Hmph... Mediocre talent, his presence is a waste..."

Suddenly, Venerable Zhenyue's gaze, which had been sweeping over, turned back and landed on Li Daoxuan.

"Huh? A mortal?"

To his surprise, this mortal dared to meet his gaze without fear, and even smiled and nodded when he realized that the man was looking at him.

Venerable Zhenyue nodded subconsciously, but immediately sensed something was wrong.

"How could I..."

He quickly looked away, avoiding eye contact with Li Daoxuan.

"He is definitely not an ordinary person... How could an ordinary person possess such magnanimity?"

"I never expected that such an extraordinary person would arrive today..."

Venerable Zhenyue calmed himself down slightly and looked at the crowd in the square, saying loudly:

"A grand gathering of geniuses, once every thousand years."

"Today, due to the compassion of the Domain, three additional slots will be added."

Anyone under the age of thirty is eligible to participate in this competition for spots.

"Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate. Gentlemen, once the struggle begins, life and death are no longer relevant."

"If you don't want to die, then give up as soon as possible."

These words caused an uproar.

It seems that no one expected this grand gathering of geniuses to be so cruel, even life-threatening.

As a result, many people who already lacked confidence began to back down.

The square was filled with discussion, and gradually became noisy.

At this moment, Emperor Hao's gentle voice came from the wondrous chariot radiating seven-colored light in mid-air.

"My heroes, do not worry. I have a treasure called the Sumeru Realm. You may enter this realm to compete for a spot. If you encounter a powerful opponent and are no match for them, simply shout the words 'I surrender' and you will be able to leave the realm."

"Of course, Venerable Zhenyue is right. Life and death are predestined, and wealth and honor are determined by fate. If you accidentally lose your life, you can only blame your lack of strength."

Upon hearing Di Hao's words, many people visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there's a chance to admit defeat, that's fine. The opportunity to go to the Heavenly Realm is tempting, but life is more important.

At the same time, everyone showed a clear increase in respect for this imperial prince from the Heavenly Realm.

It is truly remarkable that such a divine being, residing high in the ninth heaven, would still be so concerned about their lives and safety.

Venerable Zhenyue turned around and bowed to the carriage in mid-air behind him, saying:

"Thank you, Your Highness Dihao."

Upon hearing this, the vast majority of people present bowed to the carriage and thanked them in unison.

When everyone looked up, they saw something fly out of the carriage.

Judging from its appearance, it looks like a sand table.

Above are mountains, rivers, and all kinds of landscapes.

It resembles a small world.

This must be the "Sumeru Realm" that Emperor Hao spoke of.

"Such exquisite weapon-forging techniques."

Looking at this sand table of immortal treasures, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but feel that his eyes had been opened.

This treasure is created by refining a territory within a sandbox, transforming it into a small world. It involves countless laws of heaven and earth, such as the laws of spacetime and the five elements.

Li Daoxuan had never imagined that weapon forging could be done in this way, and for a moment he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

With his cultivation level and weapon-refining skills, he could also refine such a thing, but he just didn't have this idea before.

This was quite an eye-opening experience.

After the sand table flew into the clouds, it suddenly grew larger, instantly obscuring the entire sky above Tianxiang City.

When zoomed in, the mountains and rivers become even more apparent.

It is breathtaking.

"Everyone, there is no spiritual energy or spiritual aura within the Sumeru Realm."

"It all depends on yourself."

"If you can't hold on, don't force yourself."

"Alright, that's all I wanted to say. Go now..."

Perhaps it was because Di Hao had always acted gently and refinedly since his appearance that these people had some kind of misconception that Di Hao was easy to talk to and had a gentle nature.

So, right after he finished speaking, someone couldn't help but complain loudly:

"It's so high, how do we get up there?"

"Exactly, we can't fly, so can't we just lower ourselves a little?"

Surprisingly, quite a few people responded to this statement.

Before Emperor Hao could speak, the celestial maiden before his carriage shouted sternly:

"presumptuous..."

"boom..."

The terrifying force crashed down, and the first person to speak and the few who responded were instantly blown to pieces.

It turned into countless drops of blood that splashed in all directions, landing on the others.

The crowd was so frightened that they scattered and fled in all directions, and the entire place became completely silent, creating an extremely terrifying atmosphere.
