263: Escape!

“In these six years, you collected a vast amount of Cultivation resources.”

“Although you consumed some of these resources for Cultivation, most of them could not be used in a timely manner because you couldn’t concentrate on secluded Cultivation.”

“You know that next year is when the Great Dream Immortal Sect will march out to wage war against the Eerie Clan.”

“This time, you decided to let yourself die early in the battle against the Eerie Clan, and then hide away alone to Cultivate in seclusion.”

“Initially, you considered directly leaving the Great Dream Immortal Sect, but later you discovered that if you left, you would have to return all the resources you had obtained from the Great Dream Immortal Sect over the years, otherwise the Great Dream Immortal Sect would not let you go.”

“After this method proved unfeasible, you also thought about faking your death on the battlefield or secretly escaping using a Divine Ability.”

“Soon after, this idea was also rejected by you.”

“In a war supervised by an Immortal King, you were not confident in escaping right under the Immortal King's nose, and the Great Dream Immortal Sect, having developed for so many years, naturally had measures to prevent Cultivators from fleeing the battlefield mid-fight.”

“The Great Dream Immortal Sect treated such individuals with extreme ruthlessness.”

“Ultimately, you could only rely on your innate talent, Heavens Mandate Protection. This skill would allow you to perfectly leave this war and evade anyone's pursuit.”

“As for why you made such a decision, it was because you currently had no intention of returning to the Canglan Realm; you only wanted to improve your Realm.”

“However, you did not tell Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji about your desire not to return to the Canglan Realm.”

“Both of them subconsciously believed that you would use this war to take them out of the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm.”

“Seventh year!”

“You and Xuanyuan Tianji set off together, but this time you were not under Li Mutian's command.”

“Three months later!”

“You encountered the first wave of Weird creatures attacking.”

“In this battle, you deliberately gave up resistance, allowing the Weird creatures to severely injure you.”

“However, your situation filled Xuanyuan Tianji's heart with doubt.”

“Xuanyuan Tianji couldn't understand why you, invincible in the Immortal Realm, couldn't even defeat an Immortal Realm Weird creature.”

“Not only could you not defeat it, but you were also severely injured by the opponent.”

“What puzzled Xuanyuan Tianji even more was that in this situation, you didn't choose to escape; instead, a mad smile appeared on your face as you directly faced the Weird creature's attack.”

“Xuanyuan Tianji, who had intended to assist you, was now surrounded by five Weird creatures and completely unable to offer you any help.”

“Under Xuanyuan Tianji's shocked gaze, you were impaled through the heart by a Weird creature and died.”

“Ding!”

“Detected a fatal crisis!”

“Emergency activation of unique skill — Heavens Mandate Protection!”

“Heavens Mandate Protection: Forcibly preserve a sliver of life force and teleport to a random safe location!”

“Swish—”

“Your body instantly vanished from the battlefield.”

“The Weird creature, with an empty hand, had a face full of endless confusion, but before he could think further, Chen Shu had already arrived in a rage.”

“In Chen Shu's eyes, you had already been killed and eaten by the Weird creature.”

“Chen Shu desperately sought revenge for you.”

“However, what Chen Shu didn't know was that you had now returned to the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's territory.”

“You had prepared for the Weird creature's final strike, so your life was not harmed.”

“You used your last bit of strength to hide in an uninhabited place and began to recover from your injuries.”

“Now, you had completely left the battlefield and could Cultivate in peace.”

“On the other side, the first wave of Weird creatures' attack was quickly repelled. Although there were casualties in your squad, the number was small, and you were one of them.”

“Unlike Chen Shu, Xuanyuan Tianji knew in her heart that you must not have died after seeing you disappear.”

“However, Xuanyuan Tianji was puzzled as to what exactly you were trying to achieve with this series of actions.”

“At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianji felt that you had become particularly unfamiliar.”

“In the past, you would tell her and Chen Shu everything, or at least Xuanyuan Tianji.”

“But now, you had disappeared alone on the battlefield, which greatly perplexed Xuanyuan Tianji.”

“Dreamless Immortal King's team continued to advance.”

“Xuanyuan Tianji really wanted to find you and get an explanation, but now she couldn't escape from right under Dreamless Immortal King's nose.”

“In helplessness, Xuanyuan Tianji had no choice but to continue following along.”

“Eighth year!”

“After more than half a year of rest, your injuries had basically fully recovered.”

“After a simple inquiry, you learned that the place you were currently in was called Mengyi City, the closest city to the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Capital.”

“After learning this, you did not plan to return to the Imperial Capital. After all, the Imperial Capital was within the Great Dream Immortal Sect's territory, and all the outer disciples of the Great Dream Immortal Sect were Cultivating there.”

“Many of these outer disciples knew your name and had naturally seen your face.”

“After buying a residence in Mengyi City, you began to Cultivate in seclusion.”

“You swore in your heart that this time, you would make a concerted effort to Breakthrough to the Immortal Realm Middle Stage.”

“Time flowed on!”

“During your secluded Cultivation, many unexpected things happened.”

“In the battle near the Weird Sect, both Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji died there.”

“Although Xuanyuan Tianji had many trump cards, she did not possess the Legacy Divine Ability of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon like you, so she was completely unable to leave that battlefield.”

“In the end, Xuanyuan Tianji died at the hands of a Heavenly Immortal Realm Weird creature.”

“Furthermore, one year after you entered seclusion, the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Capital was attacked by Weird creatures.”

“This time, there were ten Immortal King Weird creature squads, who All the way from the Imperial Capital city gates to the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty's Imperial Palace.”

“Seeing the Weird creatures attacking, the major aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital all sent their Old Ancestors to protect the Emperor.”

“However, although these aristocratic Old Ancestors were all Immortal King Realm, they were already half-buried in the earth and were no match for the Weird Immortal Kings.”

“Just as everyone was falling into despair, the Great Dream Immortal Emperor awoke from his slumber.”

“As soon as the Great Dream Immortal Emperor awoke, he killed three Immortal King Weird creatures with thunderous force. The remaining seven Immortal King Weird creatures then led the other Weird creatures away from the Great Dream Imperial Capital.”

“While everyone believed that the Eerie Clan had infiltrated the Imperial Capital to ambush the Great Dream Immortal Emperor, they didn't realize that the Eerie Clan's true purpose was to force the Great Dream Immortal Emperor to act.”

“The Eerie Clan knew very well that in the last war, the Great Dream Immortal Emperor had suffered injuries even more severe than the Thousand-Eyed Emperor. As long as they forced the Great Dream Immortal Emperor to act again, his injuries would become completely beyond recovery.”

“Seeing their goal achieved, the Eerie Clan naturally did not linger.”

“The Eerie Clan knew very well that a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and the Great Dream Immortal Emperor's desperate counterattack before his death was not something they could withstand.”

“The Eerie Clan only needed to wait for the Great Dream Immortal Emperor to completely fall, and the Tai Xuan Immortal Realm would be theirs for the taking.”
