The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to enter. However, these lower-level beings may be the bridgeheads for those supreme experts, coming to scout out the situation. That is why they are so worried.
Upon hearing Sui An's words, everyone's expressions relaxed slightly. The fact that those supreme experts were still being blocked outside was good news.
"What's wrong? Why are you frowning so much?" The witch turned around and asked when she saw Li Dao's furrowed brows.
"It's alright. I was just thinking, if we can stop those supreme experts for a while, how long can we stop them?" Li Dao's expression returned to calm as he spoke quietly.
"This is not something we should worry about. Our priority is to improve our strength so that we can better protect ourselves in the future."
The witch took Li Dao's hand and said with a smile, though she also had some worries about the future.
"You're right," Li Dao smiled and said no more.
"Woooo..."
The next moment, a horn sounded from the opposite bank of the imperial city, shaking the heavens and the earth, as if an ancient demon god was roaring, and the whole world was about to shatter in the roar.
But the imperial city remained completely unresponsive, its calmness awe-inspiring, making one wonder if it truly possessed the power to protect the three thousand states.
As the horn sounded, Sui An's expression changed, and he muttered to himself:
"Those guys are here; they're about to enter the country."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed, and they all looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
“After such a long period of silence, they will probably launch an attack using extraordinary means,” Sui An said with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's expression changed slightly, and he immediately used telepathy to tell her about the altar that connected the two worlds that he had discovered in the forbidden area.
Sui An's expression immediately changed. After a moment's thought, he asked Shi Hao to keep the secret for now, and then addressed the crowd:
"You may all go your own way. You can join forces, but do not exceed five people."
“You’re going to act alone,” Sui An said to Li Dao.
The witch was about to retort when Li Dao stopped her.
"Why? This isn't fair to you," the witch asked Li telepathically.
“His words must have a profound meaning. Take good care of yourself,” Li Dao said, patting her head.
"Alright, alright, just be careful." Upon hearing this, the witch knew that since a supreme being had spoken, the matter was already settled. She pushed Li Dao's hand away, crossed her arms, and said somewhat unhappily.
At this moment, Shi Hao also walked over. He, Chang Gongyan, the Dragon Girl, and others prepared to form a small team and looked at the witch:
"Since Senior Brother Li is going to act alone, why don't you join us?"
"Since you've extended such a sincere invitation, then I'll be merciful and join you," the witch said condescendingly to Shi Hao, a sly glint in her eyes.
Shi Hao touched his nose, feeling that he had come at the wrong time, and looked at Li Dao with an innocent look in his eyes.
"Alright, be careful. If you encounter any danger, crush this jade slip, and I will get there as quickly as possible."
Li Dao could only shake his head helplessly at Shi Hao and hand over a jade pendant engraved with the words "life and death" to the witch.
The witch accepted the jade pendant with a haughty expression, but her slight annoyance quickly dissipated.
The cultivators who were originally scattered on the field have now gathered in twos and threes, while Li Dao stands alone in the center, out of place with the people around him.
Just as everyone was about to disperse, Sui An's ears twitched slightly, and he told them a message.
"A white Qilin cub has appeared near an ancient city. Whoever can bring it back will be nurtured by the Heavenly God Academy."
Upon hearing this, everyone was in an uproar. Even though they knew that the one they were going to focus on nurturing was the white Qilin cub, the person who brought it back would surely reap considerable benefits as well.
Chi Chi!
The moment Sui An finished speaking, everyone on the field scattered, leaving only Li Dao on the field.
"What are your instructions, senior?" Li Dao asked Sui An, having been kept behind.
"Further north, there is an unusual place. I want you to investigate it. If you find an altar that connects the two worlds, destroy it."
A glint of light flashed in Sui An's eyes. After receiving Shi Hao's message, he had thought of that unusual place and originally intended to destroy it himself, but now he changed his mind.
"Is this a special mission? What are the benefits?" Li Dao raised an eyebrow and asked.
“Destroying an altar is equivalent to finding a white Qilin cub,” Sui An said with a smile.
"Alright." Upon hearing this, Li Dao turned around and disappeared from the spot, heading north.
"Trust him so much? That altar has been set up by the remnants of that alien realm for who knows how many years. Even if that kid has a strange aura, he might not be able to solve it."
The figures of the two supreme beings who had appeared behind Sui An materialized, their voices as clear as morning bells and evening drums.
"I never expected him to destroy it anyway. I'll just consider it a trial for him. This world desperately needs a true dragon to show its talents," Sui An said quietly, then turned and left.
The two men looked somewhat helpless as Sui An disappeared from sight.
"That white Qilin carries a celestial treasure. Do you think these little guys can find it?" one of them asked.
"This white Qilin was likely left behind by the Reincarnation Immortal King back then, to wait for that girl from the past in the cycle of reincarnation and to verify the cycle of reincarnation."
"If this is true, then it is not that they are looking for the White Qilin, but that the White Qilin has found the girl's reincarnation."
The Taoist priest in blue robes spoke in a low voice, saying that there were too many mysteries left behind by that Reincarnation Immortal King back then, which even they, as supreme beings, had no way of knowing.
Li Dao embarked on his journey. This time, instead of sneaking through the mountains and forests, he used a teleportation array to arrive at the area Sui An had mentioned.
This is permitted by the rules; after all, without a teleportation array, traveling through the mountains and forests could easily take months.
Li Dao approached the border, where a primeval forest lay. This was the unusual place Sui An had mentioned. However, even knowing that the unusual place was here, the primeval forest was still too vast.
The trees soared into the clouds, their branches and leaves like canopies blocking out the sun. The vines twisted and coiled like dragons around the thick trees, like countless ferocious beasts lurking in the darkness.
Li Dao stood atop a tree, gazing at the green ocean before him, his expression growing solemn. Above this forest stretched an endless green sea, below which lay a pitch-black abyss where one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Li Dao leaped into the air, and as his eyes opened and closed, a vertical pupil resembling a heavenly eye appeared in the void behind him.
"This place is vast, let me see if there is anything unusual there." With a whisper, the Divine Light of Illusion flickered, and the world before him suddenly became ethereal.
Meanwhile, deep within a valley in the forest, an altar was embedded in the earth, its surface shimmering with Dao patterns, causing ripples to spread through the space, and a portal of light slowly materialized.
Within that portal of light, a terrifying aura permeated the air, and an arrogant Daoist voice emanated from it.
"This is the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The incomplete and fragmented laws of the Great Dao are truly unsettling."
In the distance, Li Dao let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. His Eye of Truth-Seeking detected a power that was different from the laws of this world.
"Found it." After saying that, the phantom of the Kunpeng behind Li Dao flashed and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Within the valley, divine light flickered, and the altar trembled slightly.
Tread!
With the sound of heavy footsteps, a figure walked out from the portal of light.
The newcomer was dressed in blood-red clothes, with long, fiery red hair, a menacing broadsword on his back, and a contemptuous smile on his lips.
"This is the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It's truly a nauseating aura, so uncomfortable."
However, he did not linger. Upon entering this realm, he took out a jade bottle from his robes, uncorked it, and tilted it slightly.
Tick tock!
A drop of blood, as red as flame, rolled from the jade bottle and dripped onto the altar. The originally black altar was instantly stained red, turning into a crimson expanse.
Chapter 424 Sword Dao Supreme! The Pinnacle of Life!
The portal behind the red-haired man also trembled violently and expanded instantly.
The aura emanating from the portal instantly grew significantly stronger.
Thick, blood-red mist emanated from the portal, and dark clouds immediately pressed down from the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.
"The blood of the Supreme One will be used to strengthen the altar and guide cultivators of the Void Path to descend upon this realm. At that time, we will surely turn this realm upside down!" The red-haired man roared fervently, his eyes burning with desire.
hum!
The next moment, a slender, jade-like hand emerged from the altar's portal, followed by a graceful figure slowly walking out.
"Keep a low profile. We're not here to cause destruction, but to gather information and prepare for our next plan."
A cold, aloof voice rang out, and a chill instantly enveloped the entire valley.
The entire world seemed to have entered an extremely cold place, with dense cold air freezing the altar.
"Hmph, Yiren, there's no need to worry so much. The cultivators of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths have been silent for so long, they probably won't even fight a battle."
After the woman, another man carrying a large knife came out, speaking with arrogance in his voice.
The first person to come out had a bright look in his eyes and immediately returned behind the other person, speaking respectfully:
"Little Lord."
"Hmm, well done. When we get back, I'll take credit for you," Blood Shark said to him.
"Be careful, remember our mission: find out the battle plan of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and also find out the location of that being."
Just after the two emerged, another man wearing a blue Taoist robe, with black silk wrapped around his eyes and holding a long sword walked out of the portal. The portal then trembled violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Chu Jin, with the three of us joining forces, we're guaranteed to succeed without any mishaps, so you can rest assured." A hint of apprehension flashed in Blood Shark's eyes as he grinned.
The three of them were all young talents from a foreign land, and they had come here to investigate the situation in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Absolutely foolproof? The guests are right in front of you and you still haven't discovered anything. How can you say it's foolproof?" Chu Jin's eyes were indifferent as he stood in front of the three people, past Blood Shark. His eyes, hidden beneath the black silk, were enough to see through everything.
"What!" Blood Shark's expression changed instantly. He looked around, his divine sense sweeping out like a tide, but he found nothing unusual.
Meanwhile, the aloof beauty beside her immediately looked ahead with her beautiful eyes, her body radiating coldness, with several chains of mysterious ice floating behind her.
However, neither of them noticed anything unusual, but neither dared to be careless. They had no doubt about Chu Jin's words, after all, he was of royal lineage and much stronger than them.
"How long are you going to hide, fellow Daoist?" Chu Jin hovered in mid-air, one hand behind his back, the black ribbon wrapped around his eyes fluttering in the wind.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere changed instantly, and a strong sense of urgency filled the entire venue.
"Heh, you are the guests, aren't you? You came to my realm without a word, which is putting the cultivators of my realm in a very low regard."
A resounding, majestic Daoist chant descended from the heavens, followed by an immense, overwhelming pressure that pressed down upon the entire valley.
Pfft!
The attendant following behind Blood Shark felt as if struck by lightning, his face turned pale, and he immediately knelt on the ground.
"This oppressive force..."
