326: Dao Yi's Holy Son emerges from seclusion, and major forces from the Central Region gather at Dao Yi's Holy Land.

Dao Yi Holy Land.

Inside the Saint Pavilion.

A handsome Young Master dressed in white opened his eyes.

He was surrounded by extremely powerful red lightning, which released dazzling spiritual light from time to time. Bursts of rumbling sounds echoed out, and the surrounding walls only remained intact due to the protection of the Formations.

"It seems my Crimson Sun Thunder Technique is nearly mastered."

"It's time to end my seclusion. Today is the day when Disciples from the other Nine Great Sacred Lands and Cultivators from the Cultivation Families arrive at our Holy Land."

The powerful lightning on Zhao Wuyuan's body dissipated as he stood up and murmured.

Then, he flickered and left the Saint Pavilion, arriving outside.

"Saint, you've ended your seclusion?"

Several Dao Yi Disciples' eyes lit up upon seeing Zhao Wuyuan, and they stepped forward to speak respectfully.

"How is the investigation into the Saints and Saintesses of the other Sacred Lands going?"

Zhao Wuyuan said indifferently.

Although he felt his strength was number one among the Saints and Saintesses of the ten Sacred Lands for this Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples, he still decided to be cautious.

"According to our investigation, the strength of the Saints and Saintesses from other Sacred Lands is generally around the Chūqiào Fifth Level Realm."

"The only unknown is the strength of the Taixuan Holy Son."

"The Taixuan Elder ordered the Taixuan Disciples not to leak any information, so we couldn't find anything out."

A Dao Yi Disciple said directly.

"The Taixuan Holy Land is one of the lowest-ranking among the Ten Great Holy Lands. The Taixuan Holy Son is likely just a temporary selection."

Zhao Wuyuan said calmly.

It seemed he would definitely be able to defeat the Saints and Saintesses of the other Sacred Lands this time.

After all, he was already at the Chūqiào Eighth Level Realm, though he had previously let it be known that he was at the Chūqiào Fifth Level Realm.

The Saints and Saintesses of the other Sacred Lands certainly wouldn't expect his Realm to be a level higher than theirs.

However, it was also possible that they were hiding something.

He was determined to take first place this time.

Because even for him, the Dao Spirit Pool of the Dao Yi Holy Land was not somewhere he could enter at will.

As the Dao Yi Holy Son, he had only entered the Dao Spirit Pool once, and he had gained much from it. If he could enter to Cultivate once more, he estimated he could advance to the Dao Integration Realm even faster.

"Let's go. We shall set out to welcome the Cultivators from the other Sacred Lands and Cultivation Families!"

Zhao Wuyuan waved his hand and then transformed into a streak of lightning, flying towards the entrance of the Dao Yi Holy Land.

Other Dao Yi Disciples followed closely behind, looking at Zhao Wuyuan's figure with eyes full of admiration:

"The Saint has become stronger again; I can no longer sense his specific Realm!"

"Of course. Our Saint is a natural genius, reaching the Soul Emergence Realm in just a few decades of Cultivation."

"In the entire Haomiao Realm, there is likely no one among the younger generation with higher talent than the Saint!"

"In this Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples, our Dao Yi Holy Land will definitely be number one."

...Outside the Dao Yi Holy Land.

Various colors of spiritual light suddenly appeared in the originally bright sky, illuminating the area for dozens of miles around.

Many passing Cultivators stopped to watch:

"What's the situation?"

"Could a Heaven And Earth Treasure be appearing?"

"This is near the Dao Yi Holy Land; how could it be a Heaven And Earth Treasure appearing!"

"Look, those are spirit boats. What magnificent spirit boats!"

There are also some Dao Integration Realm Yao Beast mounts. Is something big happening?"

"I heard that the Dao Yi Holy Land is hosting the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples!"

"Then it's no surprise!"

...Many Cultivators wished they could enter the Dao Yi Holy Land to watch the competition between the Disciples of the Ten Great Holy Lands.

Unfortunately, they had not received an invitation and could only leave helplessly... Some time ago.

Central Domain.

The Li Family territory.

An ordinary-looking youth in black stood confidently at the entrance of the Li Family.

He said very calmly to several Dao Integration Realm Li Family Cultivators:

"Call your Old Ancestor out."

"Arrogant! Who are you, kid?"

"You actually want to see our Old Ancestor?"

"Heavenly Nether Mountain, Ye Jingchen."

Ye Jingchen said indifferently.

"What Heavenly Nether Mountain? Never heard of it."

"Since you won't leave, then leave your life behind!"

An Integration Stage, Tenth Layer Realm Li Family member was about to take action.

A Gray-robed Old Man appeared out of thin air and shouted angrily at the Li Family member:

"Stop!"

"Old Ancestor, why are you here?"

That Li Family member stopped immediately, looking at the Gray-robed Old Man in confusion.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

The Li Family Old Ancestor said respectfully upon seeing the token Ye Jingchen carried.

It couldn't be wrong.

That was the tian ming token. It seemed the Successor of Tianming Mountain had emerged.

"Hurry and join me in greeting the Young Lord."

The Li Family Old Ancestor said hastily, looking at the dumbfounded Li Family members around him.

Although the other Li Family members were confused, their Old Ancestor had spoken, so they could only obey.

"Greetings, Young Lord!"

"We were blind just now; we hope the Young Lord will forgive us!"

"Mhm. From now on, you shall work under me!"

Ye Jingchen looked at the Li Family Old Ancestor with some satisfaction.

"By the way, did your Li Family receive an invitation to observe the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples at the Dao Yi Holy Land?"

"Yes, Young Lord. Do you want to go watch the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples?"

"Yes, I have things to do."

"Our Heavenly Nether Mountain is re-emerging, and I must demonstrate my strength as the Successor of Tianming Mountain."

Ye Jingchen nodded.

He had investigated a few days ago and found that the little girl who saved him back then was named Mu Wanning.

Now, Mu Wanning was no longer in the Lingfa Sect; she had become a Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land.

So he came to the Central Domain, looking for an opportunity to meet Mu Wanning.

During this time, he had used the tian ming token to subdue several Cultivation Families.

Among the Cultivation Families he had subdued, the relatively large one was the Li Family he had just taken over.

He had wanted to subdue several other large families, but they simply did not recognize the tian ming token.

However, having just the Li Family was enough.

As the Young Lord of Heavenly Nether Mountain, he would one day make those families that did not submit to him pay the price.

"As a Personal Disciple of the Taixuan Holy Land, Wan Ning will definitely go to the Dao Yi Holy Land to participate in the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples."

"I'll go there and give her a surprise."

Ye Jingchen grinned and said confidently.

It had been many years since they last met.

Wan Ning surely wouldn't remember him.

However, he had decided to challenge the Saint who took first place in the Grand Competition of the Ten Great Holy Lands Disciples to demonstrate his powerful strength.

As the Successor of Tianming Mountain, he believed the Dao Yi Holy Land would give him Face and allow him to spar with the winner.

At that time, he would find Mu Wanning in the Taixuan Holy Land's group and reveal his identity. Perhaps Mu Wanning would be directly attracted by his powerful strength.

The Li Family Old Ancestor had originally been respectful to Ye Jingchen only because of the tian ming token.

But as he observed Ye Jingchen's cultivation, he was suddenly shocked.

To be at the Chūqiào Fifth Level Realm at such a young age—there were few Cultivators with such talent in the entire Haomiao Realm!

As expected of someone from Heavenly Nether Mountain!

Thinking of this, the Li Family Old Ancestor said even more respectfully:

"Young Lord, rest assured."

"Our Li Family has also received an invitation from the Dao Yi Holy Land to watch this Holy Land Grand Competition."

"The Young Lord can come with us."

"Good, then let's set out now!"

"Yes!"

The Li Family Old Ancestor waved his hand, and soon the Li Family members began preparing the spirit boat for the journey.

Not long after, Ye Jingchen and a group of Li Family Cultivators boarded the spirit boat and flew towards the Dao Yi Holy Land...
