Chapter 308: Inviting Him to Immortal Gate (First Update)
Chapter 308: Inviting Him to Immortal Gate (First Update)
"Taking on more disciples again..."
Emperor Yu frowned slightly. A thousand years ago, when Immortal Gate took on disciples, countless prodigies vied to join, causing the Great Yu Divine Dynasty to gradually decline thereafter.
At that time, he had agreed because the opportunity was rare, and he had predicted that when the Ancestor Incense was nearly complete, it might attract scrutiny and contention, so he sent Jiang Zixian and the Imperial Clan to cultivate and return as enlightened beings, intending for them to protect Dayu together.
But now, they have indeed achieved the Enlightened Realm, and even the Dao Law Realm. Upon their return, they can no longer stay in the Mortal World, and another round of Immortal Gate's disciple selection is about to begin.
This time, Dayu's fortunes are likely to decline even further.
Although the calamity has been quelled and there is no more warfare, Taoist Qin has suffered severe injuries and cannot last another thousand years.
Among the current prodigies of Dayu, someone must rise to succeed Taoist Qin and protect Dayu, or one of the people like Jiang Zixian must be willing to stay and take over Taoist Qin's responsibilities.
As for Li Hao... Emperor Yu knew that such a True Dragon could not be confined by the Mortal World. Even if Li Hao wanted to stay and protect Dayu, he hoped that Li Hao would go to Immortal Gate and explore its depths.
"If you are taking on more disciples, is there anyone among you willing to stay in the Mortal World and take over Qin's position?"
Emperor Yu asked.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Jiang Zixian and the other five people changed slightly. Jiang Baishan and the others looked at Jiang Zixian, who whispered:
"Father, since the disaster has been resolved, although we will not stay, we will not let Dayu fall into danger again. On this journey, I obtained some supreme treasures from my master, which I can give to Grandpa Qin to defend Dayu."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and took out many items from the Heavenly Earth Space.
"Although this looks like a Holy Heart Treasure, it has been tempered by incense and is extremely powerful. Grandpa Qin is in the Dao Law Realm, and with this weapon, he won't be much weaker when facing other Dao Law Realm cultivators."
"This is a medium-grade Divine Powers Secret Art, extremely precious. I exchanged it after completing three missions for my sect. Grandpa Qin can secretly cultivate it. As long as he doesn't use it in the Land of Sages, he won't be pursued."
"These are ten Dao Talismans, each with terrifying power and different effects. If used simultaneously, each one can match a single move of a Dao Law Realm cultivator."
She handed all these items to Emperor Yu and said, "With these treasures, Dayu should be safe in the Mortal World."
Seeing these treasures, Emperor Yu's face did not show any joy. Instead, he looked at his daughter and then at Jiang Baishan and the others, sensing their thoughts through their eyes.
Clearly, they had already discussed and prepared everything, and no one was willing to stay in the Mortal World.
After a moment of silence, Emperor Yu nodded, having received his answer.
He did not try to persuade or ask further. He even wondered if, without the matter of the Ancestor's resurrection, they would have been willing to return.
There was no answer.
But Emperor Yu knew that one should not delve too deeply into the hearts of others. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but think of the young man playing chess in front of the Chess Board.
That carefree figure, like a Clear Wind, and the words he had said, "I haven't seen everything in the Mortal World yet", seemed to weigh even more heavily on his mind at this moment.
Because of this, he was even more unwilling to let the young man stay and be held back.
"Taking on more disciples... then let it be. With these treasures, if we don't face the same kind of situation as before, everything should be fine."
Emperor Yu's expression was somewhat listless. He called for Eunuch Chu Jiuyue and informed him about Immortal Gate's plan to take on more disciples.
"Go there in person and inform that guy. Make sure he comes, as this is a rare opportunity. Tell him that I'll be angry if he doesn't come."
Eunuch Chu Jiuyue hurriedly nodded.
When Jiang Zixian and the others heard Emperor Yu's serious instructions, they were somewhat surprised, as if he was afraid the other party wouldn't come. Jiang Zixian frowned and said:
"Such an opportunity is incredibly attractive to any prodigy. No one would refuse, right?"
Emperor Yu glanced at her but said no more.
That child is different from the others, incredibly aloof...
Since the news of Immortal Gate accepting new disciples spread with the return of the powerful figures from Immortal Gate, Emperor Yu didn't publicize it much, but the news still circulated among the top forces.
Most prodigies come from these top forces, so when they learned of this news, the prodigies under various factions became excited and rushed to the Imperial Holy City.
In Liangzhou, at Heavenly Gate Pass.
Li Hao was cultivating, converting Qi Power into Dao Power and continuously refining it into his Physical Body.
His Physical Body was continually improving, becoming stronger and stronger.
When Eunuch Chu Jiuyue arrived at the pass, Li Hao was in the courtyard, painting while integrating Dao Power into his flesh and blood, simultaneously cultivating.
Upon revisiting the city and the small courtyard, Eunuch Chu Jiuyue was quite impressed, feeling both familiar and strange. Once, this place was a city reduced to a small mound of earth, but now it was thriving.
The small courtyard hadn't changed much, except there were fewer people inside.
Seeing Jiang Lidust, Eunuch Chu Jiuyue was somewhat surprised and respectfully bowed, but Jiang Lidust only glanced at him and ignored him.
"… That's the situation. His Majesty has instructed me to inform you, General, that you must go", Eunuch Chu Jiuyue said, glancing at the firewood in the courtyard, thinking it was almost time for a meal.
"Immortal Gate? Accepting new disciples?"
Li Hao raised an eyebrow. He didn't feel much about it. If he wanted to join Immortal Gate, he could activate the Sage Mark in his Sea of Consciousness and call on the Sage willing to take him as a disciple.
The Sage would open a special path just for him and accept him.
He hadn't planned to enter yet because he still had unfinished business here.
However, now that he thought about it, it was almost time. He should visit Immortal Gate soon, kill a person, and then return.
To prevent the person who fled to Immortal Gate from causing trouble, if they sought revenge and invited a Semi-Saint to intervene next time, it would be troublesome.
"By the way, how many Famous Paintings and such have been collected as per the previous request to His Majesty?" Li Hao asked.
Eunuch Chu Jiuyue was taken aback, not expecting Li Hao to ask about the miscellaneous items instead of Immortal Gate.
He glanced at the young man's brush and ink, sighed inwardly, and said, "Many have been collected. General can take a look at the Imperial Palace when you visit."
"Good."
Li Hao nodded and said, "Thank you, Eunuch. You can return now. I will follow shortly."
Eunuch Chu Jiuyue nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the sun, saying, "May I stay here a bit longer, General?"
Li Hao was surprised and looked at him oddly. "As you wish."
When it was mealtime, Li Hao personally cooked. With his current Ninth Rank Cooking skill, he cut a portion of the Demon King's flesh, refined it, and cooked it, filling the courtyard with a fragrant aroma.
After the meat was refined, the dish became like a precious medicinal treasure.
Li Hao invited Ren Qianqian to eat.
Eunuch Chu Jiuyue, who had been waiting, also approached with a smile.
Li Hao then understood why he had stayed and didn't hesitate to offer him a portion.
After the meal, Eunuch Chu Jiuyue left happily. Li Hao packed up his brush and ink, took Ren Qianqian with him, and if Immortal Gate was accepting new disciples, Qianqian's talent should be considered top-notch.
Xiyian swayed her skirt, transforming into a red ring that wrapped around Li Hao's wrist.
"Let's go."
Li Hao set off immediately.
The fusion of Candlelight Deity with his wife was not yet complete, so he had to make the journey alone.
Jiang Lidust followed closely behind, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I missed the Immortal Gate last time, but I won't miss this opportunity."
Li Hao neither confirmed nor denied, not surprised by Jiang Lidust's desire to enter the Immortal Gate.
As Li Hao and the others headed for the Immortal Gate, in a certain part of the Great Yu Divine Dynasty, a group of figures casually passed through a city and overheard the news.
"Immortal Gate?"
They exchanged glances, all somewhat surprised to learn that the Jiang Family Dynasty would open an Immortal Gate to recruit disciples.
"Xuanshen, this is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity. Our Ji Family needs the Three Ancestors to contact the Immortal Gate, and we can only send one Dao Seed every three hundred years. Now, we just need to be chosen by someone inside."
One of the women couldn't help but say.
The young man in the center was exceptionally handsome, and despite his deliberate restraint, his air of superiority was unmistakable in the crowd.
They had followed this young man to this place, wandering through the Dayu Realm, tracing his footsteps, and hearing many of his tales, all of which were breathtaking.
Now, they were planning to leave the Dayu Realm to bid farewell to this young man before returning to the Ji Family to enter seclusion for cultivation. They hadn't expected to hear such news.
"The Dayu Realm has the Virtue Treasure Vault and now the Immortal Gate. It seems the Jiang Family must have planned this in advance when they left the Great Wasteland Sky."
"This is a rare opportunity. We should prepare quickly. We don't know the conditions for recruitment at the Immortal Gate, but we should be able to pass easily. If we can't, then no one else can."
After a quick discussion, they decided to bring the news back to the Ji Family, urging the young prodigies to try their luck.
In the past, only Dao Seeds could enter the Immortal Gate, but now the rules had changed.
Moreover, if they went, they could seek the protection and support of the Ji Family's roots there, making their cultivation and development smoother.
Then, they could all shine brightly and catch up to that young man.
"Let's go."
After their discussion, they quickly returned, knowing time was of the essence.
On the other side, Li Hao had already arrived in the Imperial Capital.
As soon as he reached the Imperial Palace, Li Hao sensed several subtle yet powerful auras lurking within.
He had already learned from Eunuch Chu Jiuyue that these were likely the Imperial Clan members who had entered the Immortal Gate a thousand years ago.
Li Hao brought Ren Qianqian and floated gracefully to the front of the Imperial Palace. His Heavenly General status allowed him to bypass the Imperial City's regulations and enter the Imperial Palace directly.
"You've arrived."
Emperor Yu, sensing the faint aura Li Hao deliberately revealed, immediately flew out from the rear of the Imperial Palace to greet him.
At the same time, he noticed that Li Hao's aura had changed from the Great Peace Dao Realm to the Enlightened Realm.
He was taken aback. How long had it been?
The secret report from the Liangzhou battle had stated that Li Hao's cultivation was still at the Three Eternities Realm. Now, just over a year later, he had reached the Enlightened Realm...
Thinking of what Elder Qin had said about supporting Li Hao for another ten years, Emperor Yu sighed inwardly. He had thought ten years would be enough, but he had grossly underestimated this young man.
"The recruitment will start in three days. Stay here for a few days first."
Emperor Yu smiled at Li Hao.
At the same time, several Divine Senses probed over, belonging to Jiang Zixian and others.
