622: Chapter 622 A Great Struggle Against the Celestial Dynasty, Encountering the Dao Sword Again

The next day, Mei Niang wore a phoenix robe. Her full, shapely body, snake-like slender waist, and bewitching, alluring aura had reached their peak.

"Mei Niang, is something the matter?" Hun Tiandi asked in surprise.

"How is Rou Niang's transformation going?" Mei Niang asked slowly.

"Very well. She is still in the midst of her transformation. Mei Niang, you must also cultivate diligently, lest Rou Niang surpasses you in cultivation when she emerges. Besides, the chaotic times have begun; powerful strength is the only guarantee of survival!" Hun Tiandi said, frowning with concern.

"Rest assured, I will never hold you back!" Mei Niang smiled bewitchingly and turned to leave.

Lingxiao Heavenly Court.

Hun Tiandi headed toward the Central Plains, accompanied by Mr. Corpse Soul, Liu Ling, and others... They quietly left the Imperial Capital.

At the same time, a blood-colored figure streaked over, bringing with it gusts of wind, and appeared before them in the blink of an eye.

Seeming to sense something, it turned its head to look in the direction the main body had left, nodded slightly, moved its figure, and vanished from the spot.

Blood God had also rushed back from Xingming City.

Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty, Western Region of Central Plains.

An absolute hegemon of the region, countless sects and factions bowed down to the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty.

Inside a palace, Princess Nian Youyou leaned back on a comfortable chair, her eyes closed tightly, her brows slightly furrowed.

She pressed her index fingers against her temples, rubbing them!

It seemed she had some troublesome matters on her mind, as she could not even calm her heart to cultivate.

"What is going on lately? I feel so restless..." Princess Nian Youyou said with a troubled expression.

"Princess, something terrible has happened..." Suddenly, a hurried voice came from outside the main hall, and a young girl dressed in gorgeous robes rushed in.

"Lv'er, why are you in such a panic?" Princess Nian Youyou suppressed the restlessness in her heart and regained her cool, detached demeanor.

"Princess, people from the Cangtian Holy Land have arrived today, requesting the Emperor to grant a marriage between you and the Son of the Cangtian Holy Land!" the girl Lv'er said quickly.

"A marriage grant? The Son of the Cangtian Holy Land?" Upon hearing this, Princess Nian Youyou jumped up immediately and refused angrily.

"Princess, why don't you run away quickly? If it's too late, it will be too late!" Lv'er, who was beside her, reminded her.

"Run?" Princess Nian Youyou shook her head slightly upon hearing this. Setting aside whether she could escape or not, even if she did, it wouldn't solve the problem.

She pondered secretly in her heart: "You... should be arriving soon, right!"

Five months later, Hun Tiandi finally arrived at the border of the Da Gan Heavenly Dynasty.

Hun Tiandi and his party continued to move forward without stopping. Ahead, the sounds of battle and roaring clashes reached them, and they streaked toward the source.

In the blink of an eye, they landed on a mountain peak. There was a figure in white, carrying a long sword on his back, with a servant behind him. Opposite them was also a pair of master and servant in black.

Dao Sword!

It was Dao Sword, the one who had once sparred with Hun Tiandi and fought to a draw, the Dao Sword who had defeated all the heroes of the world with a single divine sword, along with his personal attendant.

Dao Sword's figure was like a sword, tall and straight, his white robes making him look like an immortal. A breeze circled around him, expanding and contracting with his breathing.

If one looked closely, one would realize that it was not wind.

It was the sword qi constantly flowing across the surface of Dao Sword's body, countless tiny sword qi resembling a breeze.

The attendant still stood respectfully behind him.

The moment Hun Tiandi appeared, Dao Sword turned his head to glance at him, then withdrew his gaze. He did not pay much attention.

At the same time, the person confronting Dao Sword also discovered Hun Tiandi and his party; his gaze was cold, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"Dao Sword, someone has interrupted us today. We shall fight again another day!" the man in black said coldly, a thick scent of blood emanating from his body.

Immediately, his figure turned into a streak of sword light and shot into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Dao Sword, we meet again!" Hun Tiandi said with a smile.

"Indeed!" Dao Sword looked at Hun Tiandi and said.

On the mountain peak, Hun Tiandi took out a pavilion, set out some Spirit Wine, and the two sat opposite each other!

"Your sword technique must have reached a higher level, right?" Hun Tiandi said, his tone carrying a sense of certainty.

"Mm, my sword technique has not yet reached perfection, and you are also growing. I need you to fight with your full strength, but the time is not yet ripe!" Dao Sword said calmly.

"Have you spent these past few years in dangerous places honing your sword technique?" Hun Tiandi asked.

There was no need to beat around the bush with Dao Sword; as a sword cultivator, he was straightforward.

"That's right. I have been cultivating bitterly in the Beast Region, solely for the sake of sword technique, not for cultivation level!" Dao Sword smiled.

"I, however, live only for cultivation level!" Hun Tiandi shook his head and said.

"It is you who are cultivating too slowly!" Suddenly, Dao Sword said something shocking, picked up his wine cup, and drank a cup of Spirit Wine!

"Slow?" Hun Tiandi showed a look of surprise. Is his improvement slow?

"Your Excellency is merely an eight-star Dou Zong, no different from His Majesty!" Liu Ling, who was behind him, could not stand it anymore and spoke up.

"Half a year ago, Young Master was only a five-star Dou Huang!" the attendant behind him said proudly.

"What?" Hun Tiandi said in surprise. A five-star Dou Huang? Half a year? Twelve stars in a row—is he even human?

Even a genius with the Dou Di Bloodline couldn't cheat like this!

"Honing your sword technique, intentionally suppressing your cultivation, and only beginning to break through once you have comprehended what is needed for your sword technique?" Mr. Corpse Soul was also shocked, looking at Dao Sword in astonishment.

Upon hearing this, Dao Sword nodded slightly.

Hun Tiandi was speechless, feeling dejected in his heart. This was a peerless monster; the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Are you taking this path to head to the Cangtian Holy Land to participate in the once-in-a-millennium Cangtian Grand Event?" Dao Sword suddenly asked.

"Cangtian Grand Event?" Hun Tiandi raised an eyebrow, surprised.

"Dao Sword once said he was a person from the Cangtian Holy Land. Are you also planning to go to the Cangtian Holy Land?"

"No, it is not yet time to return!" Dao Sword shook his head and flipped his hand to take out a token; this was an invitation to the Cangtian Holy Land.

"If you wish to go, I will give it to you!" Dao Sword said freely, tossing the token directly to Hun Tiandi.

Hun Tiandi reached out and caught it, saying softly: "Cangtian Holy Land? Cangtian Grand Event?"

"There are eighty-one such tokens in total, all inviting some top factions in the Central Plains. It is rumored that this time at the Grand Event, there is a peerless inheritance!" Dao Sword smiled.

"I want to go, but I don't know the way!" Hun Tiandi said, looking at Dao Sword.

"I will take you there, and then you can attend the Grand Event!" Dao Sword smiled.

Hahaha!

After I left the Beast Region, I heard that your reputation had spread throughout the Fighting Qi Continent, and you even defeated the siege of the Heavenly Mansion Alliance. Your methods are truly unfathomable. Dao Sword suddenly said.

"Sigh, it was all forced upon me!" Hun Tiandi shook his head helplessly, seemingly unwilling to reveal much more.

The next day, Hun Tiandi, Dao Sword, and their party set out on another path.

Together with Mr. Corpse Soul, Liu Ling, and the attendant, the group of five sped off in the direction guided by Dao Sword.

"Dao Sword, how much longer until we arrive?" Hun Tiandi asked.

"Soon. After I take you for a few more days, we will enter the Cangtian Mountain Range. I won't go in then. It won't be difficult for you to find a sect inside; many people know the way to the Cangtian Holy Land." Dao Sword said.

"Many thanks for guiding the way!" Hun Tiandi said.

"Ha..." Dao Sword laughed lightly.

"Hmm, over there..." Suddenly, Mr. Corpse Soul spoke, his deep gaze looking in another direction.

Everyone followed Mr. Corpse Soul's direction, only to discover that the distant sky was filled with an aura of blood, rushing into the clouds like smoke from a beacon fire.

"Such a heavy smell of blood!" The attendant Peng An frowned and said.

"It is not just the smell of blood; there is also resentment and death energy!" Mr. Corpse Soul narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

The five looked at each other and flew toward it.

Standing on a distant mountain peak, the five of them looked down together.
