This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

These words caused a noticeable commotion at the scene.

Someone couldn't help but sigh:

"This is the Heavenly Emperor, what a magnanimous heart, what a broad mind."

"That's right, the Heavenly Emperor is the Heavenly Emperor, far beyond the reach of us mere mortals."

......

The people from Tianyu and Hongyu Imperial Clan were somewhat moved upon hearing this.

Honestly, none of them could be as magnanimous as the Heavenly Emperor.

They provide resources and imperial scriptures, yet ask for nothing in return.

That's truly admirable.

Not only them, but even Li Daoxuan was somewhat moved.

If the Heavenly Emperor's words came from the heart, then he truly deserves the title of Heavenly Emperor.

Only by embracing the world can one become the master of heaven and earth.

Chang Geng, inside the void passage, seemed to be considering the Heavenly Emperor's words as well, and remained silent for a long time.

Everyone thought Chang Geng was considering the Heavenly Emperor's proposal, but only Li Daoxuan knew that he was actually sizing him up.

A faint, persistent gaze kept sweeping over him.

Although Li Daoxuan was not as strong as him, he was confident that his opponent might not have more tricks up his sleeve.

With his primordial spirit operating the Heavenly Gang Divine Power, even Chang Geng, who was at the Quasi-Emperor level, might not be able to see through his true nature.

Just when everyone thought Chang Geng might refuse, his voice finally came from inside the Heavenly Gate, still as sparing with words as ever.

"Can..."

The single word "may" sealed the deal.

Then the void passage began to slowly close, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Supreme Lord Qianye, Venerable Zhenyue, and others hurriedly saw off the Ancestor, including Emperor Hao, who also bowed slightly to show his respect.

After Chang Geng left, the Heavenly Emperor's martial god avatar also disappeared.

However, he seemed to have left a message for Di Hao before he left, but no one knows what the message was.

After the Heavenly Emperor left, the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the Heavenly Elephant City finally dissipated.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if they had been reborn.

Although meeting the Prince of Chang Geng and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court was an experience to be proud of.

But the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife, with one's life completely out of one's control, is still very uncomfortable.

After Chang Geng left, Qianye Supreme came to Li Daoxuan, his tone noticeably more polite than before.

"I just heard that you are addressed as Dao Xuan, young brother. In that case, I will take the liberty of addressing you as Brother Dao Xuan..."

Li Daoxuan immediately raised his hand to stop him, saying:

"I am humbled and dare not address you as my brother, Supreme Lord Qianye. Please call me Daoist Li."

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence.

"That's what Nangong calls me too."

Chiba didn't seem to care much about the title.

"Alright, Master Li, before our ancestor left, he instructed us to ask Master Li to stay in Tianxiang City for a couple more days with Miss Nangong. Our clan will prepare some resources to give to Miss Nangong."

As soon as Chiba finished speaking, Nangong Yue was about to refuse.

"I don't..."

"Then I, on behalf of Nangong, thank you."

Li Daoxuan immediately interrupted her and bowed to Qianye.

Although Nangong Yue was puzzled, she still stood obediently to the side without saying a word.

Chiba smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

After he left, Di Hao also flew over and cupped his hands in greeting to Li Daoxuan.

"I will also call you Master Li. The Heavenly Emperor left a message before he left, asking Master Li to stay in Tianxiang City for a couple more days."

Having said that, Di Hao suddenly shut his mouth and transmitted his voice through his divine soul:

"Master Li, the Heavenly Emperor also said that the gates of the Heavenly Court are always open to you. If you are interested in the Heavenly Emperor's inscription, you are welcome to come to my Heavenly Court to study it at any time."

"Not only that, the Heavenly Emperor also promised to leave a beautiful place in the Heavenly Realm for the Daoist, as a place to establish a sect and spread the Daoist teachings."

"Master, please consider this carefully. This promise has no time limit."

Li Daoxuan was slightly taken aback.

These words really surprised him.

They were amazed by the Heavenly Emperor's foresight.

He believed that the Prince of Chang Geng must have also realized that his cultivation path was quite different from that of martial arts.

But Chang Geng made no comment, seemingly not caring at all.

The Heavenly Emperor is completely different; his mindset is that of a perfect superior and ruler.

No wonder the Heavenly Court has become the most powerful force in the Xuanhuang Great World.

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly and replied telepathically:

"Please convey my gratitude to the Heavenly Emperor on my behalf, Your Highness. I will definitely visit the Heavenly Realm if I have the opportunity."

Di Hao nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more.

The Grand Gathering of Prodigies came to a quick end.

Without a doubt, the three disciples of the Hongyu Imperial Clan ultimately won those three spots.

Including the previous twelve prodigies who possessed the Imperial Son's Token, there are a total of fifteen people.

A maidservant beside Emperor Hao threw out a flying boat to guide everyone to ascend to the heavens.

Before parting, Bai Susu mustered her courage and approached Li Daoxuan. Looking at him, she didn't say much, only uttering:

"I'm leaving..."

Li Daoxuan nodded slightly and transmitted his thoughts telepathically:

"Miss Bai, thank you. When you return from the Heavenly Realm, come to Tianshui Marsh in Lizhou to find me. I will remove the sealed object from your body..."

Bai Susu knew that Li Daoxuan was thanking her for Wang Jingshu's sake, although she didn't know that Wang Jingshu had already followed her.

Bai Susu nodded, glanced at Li Daoxuan with a complicated expression, and then turned and boarded the flying boat.

"Master Li, I...I also want to go to the Heavenly Realm..."

At this moment, Nangong Yue suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing Nangong Yue's words, Di Hao, who was not far away, immediately laughed:

"Miss Nangong, feel free to come to the Heavenly Realm if you wish; you are not subject to the so-called quota restrictions."

Nangong Yue turned to look at Li Daoxuan, her eyes filled with a hint of trepidation.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and nodded, saying:

"From what I can see, the Heavenly Emperor seems to be a good ruler. With your potential, you probably won't be bullied if you go to the Heavenly Realm."

After saying that, Li Daoxuan took out a jade talisman that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to her.

Nangong Yue looked at the jade talisman in her hand and asked in confusion:

"This is?"

Li Daoxuan did not explain, but simply said:

"Keep this jade talisman close to your body. When you arrive in the Heavenly Realm, find a secluded place and use your divine soul power to sense it carefully; it might be useful to you."

This jade talisman was created by Li Daoxuan on a whim, and it contains an inscription of the most orthodox Taoist cultivation method of refining essence, qi, spirit, and emptiness.

There are also many other Taoist scriptures such as the Tao Te Ching, the Qingjing Jing, and the Zhuangzi.

Li Daoxuan left these things for her not to guide Nangong Yue into the Dao.

Instead, they wanted to give her a trump card that outsiders didn't know about.

In this way, our acquaintance can be considered worthwhile.

Everyone boarded the flying boat, and the Heavenly Gate opened wide once more.

The group, in a grand procession, began to fly into the Heavenly Road beyond the Heavenly Gate, entering that boundless cosmic starry sky.

"Master Li, I'm going to take a look at the Heavenly Realm, I'll be right back..."

Nangong Yue stood at the bow of the ship, waving continuously at Li Daoxuan.

Without realizing it, a few tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.

Li Daoxuan, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, stood in the center of the square, smiling and waving goodbye, as calm and composed as ever.

But when he saw another lost and sorrowful gaze on the airship, even he couldn't help but feel a pang of pity...

"Why..."

After a sigh, he resolutely turned away.

The array patterns appeared beneath their feet, but the Taoist in the green robe had vanished without a trace.

On the flying boat, the figure in white finally withdrew her gaze, the sadness in her eyes quietly hidden. She looked up at the Heavenly Road, her lips involuntarily pursing.

"Becoming stronger... at least... so I can have the right to stand beside him..."
