Chapter 1183: Chapter 254: Calamity Clan, Great Dream Nine Abysses (10,000-word update)

Li Hao and the others looked up, seeing many figures flying ahead, all following that giant sword.

“Tianyi Sect? Isn’t that one of the top sects in the True Realm?”

Li Hao’s gaze changed slightly; if the rules hadn’t changed over the past hundred thousand years, then it’s probably correct.

He glanced at Lin Qingyue and immediately led the others to follow.

Besides Lin Qingyue, he himself is also a Sword Cultivator. Although he possesses the inheritance of the Heavenly Calamity Immortal Emperor, mastering more kinds of Sword Intent would only bring benefits, not harm.

After all, his cultivation merely needs recording, which doesn’t consume much time.

Elder Wang accompanied Li Hao, looking from afar, seemingly seeing the scenery miles away. Recollections appeared in his eyes as he transmitted his voice to Li Hao:

“You accompany these young fellows; I’ll go search for the Reincarnated Body of the Shi Miao Divine Lady.”

Li Hao paused, hurriedly transmitting back: “Then I’ll go with you.”

“No need.”

Elder Wang shook his head slightly, transmitting: “I searched earlier on the battlefield; the time fluctuation of the Shi Miao Divine Lady has already disappeared. She’s likely been in the True Realm for quite some time, this world’s space more tightly knit, and traces quickly smoothed over. This place is just the Southern Domain; I must go to Dome Abyss to find the Blind Old Man’s statue, to let it calculate. Who knows if it’s still there…”

He said to Li Hao: “You provided the clue, I will do my utmost to search. Here are three spiritual leaves for you; keep them safe.”

He raised his hand to give Li Hao three green and crystal clear spiritual leaves, glowing with Divine Light, placed into his hand.

“One leaf, one blade, it can strike three blades for you. Below king level, certain death; even kings can be forced to retreat.”

As he spoke, he again raised his hand, lightly touching Li Hao’s forehead.

A silver winding mark engraved on Li Hao’s forehead, like a third vertical eye, but it quickly sank into Li Hao’s body.

“This is my Immortal Country’s original imprint; if you encounter danger, call for help, and I can instantly teleport through the Immortal Country, so you needn’t worry.”

He arranged everything, quietly looking at Li Hao.

Li Hao froze, seeing Elder Wang’s gentle and warm gaze, seemingly understanding something.

“Cultivate well; if you truly find the Reincarnated Body of the Shi Miao Divine Lady, you will become a Direct Disciple. Then, you’ll compete with her for the Immortal Emperor’s inheritance. With your current strength, you’re still far from it…”

He softly transmitted in a low voice with earnest advice.

Li Hao remained silent, then nodded silently.

Though he had no strong desire to inherit the Immortal Emperor’s legacy, he knew that sitting in that position meant being unable to control his own destiny.

After Elder Wang entrusted everything, he quietly vanished into the void, leaving without a trace.

Only Li Hao stood holding three spiritual leaves, radiating a divine glow.

The others, noticing Li Hao stop in place, then realized he was one person short.

“Where is that elder senior?”

Someone asked.

“He’s gone to pave the way for me.”

Li Hao looked towards the horizon, speaking softly, then he stored the three spiritual leaves. Only now he realized that the old man cultivated the blade, not the sword.

…

After crossing the grand mountain towers, Li Hao and the others finally saw this vast and boundless city.

Inside were mountains and rivers, countless peaks, endless buildings stretching on without end, like an expansive endless world, impossible to see at a glance.

Li Hao traced the fluctuations left by the giant sword earlier, leading the Sword Master and Feng along.

With numerous mountains and rivers below them, they quickly reached the city center. The closer they got, the more densely packed the buildings became, majestic structures around them stood like gigantic steep swords, or like clock towers, exuding an ancient and desolate aura. The stone blocks of the structures were coarse, yet they seemed solidly formed by ages, giving an unshakable impression.

Upon arriving through the air, they saw a plaza here, with that giant sword, miles long, spanning the sky like a heavenly bridge, uncrossable and insurmountable.

Many figures stood beneath the giant sword’s shadow, gazing up, discussing animatedly.

“The Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower only accepts Sword Cultivators; if not, we should seek another sect.”

“Indeed, I see the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is here too. Luckily, I possess the Original True Intent of Wind Dao, joining them should not pose a problem.”

“Not so easy; these Tiandeng Sects heavily test the Dao Heart. That Heart Inquiry Tower must resonate at least five times!”

“This…”

Around them, many people whispered, discussing.

On their way, Li Hao had transmitted the True Realm’s language through Divine Thought to Feng and the others. Though they could communicate with True Realm’s Immortal Divine without it, using Primordial Spirit’s true intent, that would make others immediately discern them as outsiders, leading to inevitable bullying and contempt.

Li Hao turned his head, seeing a towering giant tower standing in the plaza’s center, rising to the sky.

The tower’s top reached into the clouds, its peak obscured, yet the tower body was tilted, its outer eaves and edges damaged. At the seventh flying eave, there was a bright red bloodstain splashed, seemingly fresh.

“How could there be blood there?”

Some new arrivals from various places asked out of curiosity.

“Could someone have dared to cause trouble at Heart Inquiry Tower, where violence is prohibited?”

“You misunderstand; that isn’t ordinary blood, but Emperor’s blood from ten thousand years ago. I came here thirty thousand years ago and saw it just as vividly as today. Emperor’s blood neither fades nor diminishes through eternity.” Someone responded.

Li Hao’s eyes flickered; Emperor’s blood staining Heart Inquiry Tower—what great event happened there in the past?

At this moment, above the mile-long giant sword, a group of figures hovered, arriving at the sword’s edge, overlooking countless True Immortals and Holy Level cultivators on the colossal plaza.
