339: Ancient Tian Battle

Above the high platform.

Wu Ning chatted with Si Qing and the others while observing the battle in the Void Realm.

At this moment, the battle in the Void Realm was already nearing its end.

That Prodigy Immortal King named Hua Chen had not even used his full strength, yet he had achieved victory with an absolute advantage.

But at this time, few people bothered to cheer for him.

Wu Ning had clearly become the focus of everyone’s attention.

“Oh, by the way, a kid named Gu Tian from the Academy came looking for you a while ago. Did you hear about it?”

Si Qing suddenly said.

“Gu Tian?”

“It seems you still don’t know.” Si Qing shook his head slightly and explained, “You’ve been in seclusion for the past twenty thousand years. This Gu Tian is considered the most famous young man in the Heavens these past few years.”

“Promoting to Dao Lord before ninety million years old would indeed be amazing if it were in the past, but unfortunately, you set the precedent.”

“This kid came looking for you, probably because he doesn’t believe those rumors outside and wants to challenge you personally.”

“He waited for decades and didn’t see you, so he should have gone to your Taichu Ancient Realm by now.”

Wu Ning nodded casually, not taking the matter to heart.

He was now a Heavenly Monarch Great Power. If he responded to every challenge, it would be too demeaning.

Half a month later.

The selection ended, and another hundred Disciples gained the qualification to enter the Inner Courtyard.

Wu Ning brought Xiao Xiao back to Floating Cloud Peak.

“Brother, this is what Sister God Xi asked me to give you.”

Xiao Xiao took out an Immortal Invitation and handed it to Wu Ning.

“God Xi?”

Wu Ning frowned slightly, only then realizing he hadn't seen her in the Academy before.

Opening the Immortal Invitation, it contained an invitation for him to attend the Banquet of the Gods in the Tian Xu Divine Kingdom.

The time was one hundred years later.

“When did she give it to you?”

“It should have been fifteen years ago.”

Wu Ning looked carefully, then put away the Immortal Invitation.

Tian Xu Divine Kingdom, huh…

It might be worth a trip.

With the God Race's profound heritage, it was definitely the best place to use the first ten-thousand-year sign-in.

“However, is she so certain that I would come out of seclusion during this period?”

A hint of contemplation appeared in Wu Ning’s eyes.

He increasingly felt that God Xi was unfathomable; she was like a person shrouded in a mysterious mist, completely unreadable.

Perhaps it was just as he appeared to others.

With his time acceleration, it would probably be another seventy to eighty years until Wu Tianyun and his wife came out of seclusion.

During this time, Wu Ning guided Xiao Xiao in her Cultivation in the Floating Cloud Immortal Palace.

Xiao Xiao was now over twenty thousand years old, and her Cultivation had already reached the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm.

Such a young Immortal King expert was extremely rare in the entire Heavens.

Her strength far surpassed her Realm; even an ordinary Peak Immortal King was no match for her.

The reason Wu Ning did not let her use various treasures and resources to quickly improve her Cultivation Realm was because she possessed infinite potential and limitless possibilities for the future.

However, Wu Tianyun and his wife had limited talent, and their potential could be seen at a glance.

Without his help, Cultivating to the Immortal Emperor Realm in this life would be their limit.

Wu Ning also did not expect them to Cultivate into some supreme Great Power on their own; with him around, he could continuously help them improve their Cultivation in the future.

“Xiao Xiao, where is your master?”

Wu Ning suddenly remembered Xuan Chengzi and asked.

“My master…”

Xiao Xiao pouted and said, “I don’t know where he is. Brother, after you went into seclusion, I only saw him twice.”

“It’s been almost five thousand years since the last time.”

Wu Ning smiled helplessly. That Senior Xuan Chengzi was truly a carefree individual.

It was already good enough if he occasionally remembered that he had a Disciple like her; expecting him to frequently guide her Cultivation was indeed a bit difficult.

However, Xiao Xiao’s Cultivation was still low, and the guidance from the Inner Courtyard mentors was completely sufficient for her daily needs.

The Chaos Academy had stood in the Heavens for countless years; it was not a place with an undeserved reputation.

Not long after, Night Solitary Chill came to pay his respects.

Nearly twenty thousand years had passed, and his Cultivation had also improved significantly. It seemed that the Opportunity he had gained at Buzhou Mountain had not yet been fully digested.

Subsequently, Wu Ning also met Mu Yu.

Her Cultivation had also increased to the Celestial Immortal Realm, a speed that was already quite fast.

Many inheritors of immortal powers might not even be able to compare to her.

…

Time flew by, and seventy years passed quickly.

Wu Ning brought Xiao Xiao back to the Wu Clan.

Wu Tianyun and his wife had already absorbed the Five Elements Origin and the three-life dao fruit, and they were not far from a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

“Dao Child, your subordinate has an important matter to report.”

In Dao Yu Immortal Palace, after learning of Wu Ning’s return, Wu Shentong immediately entered the main hall and said, bowing.

Although Wu Ning had expressed his intention to resign from the position of Dao Child to the clan elders, in the eyes of countless clansmen, he was still the Dao Child, and this impression would be difficult to change in a short time.

Wu Ning did not deliberately correct him. He asked indifferently:

“What is it?”

Wu Shentong respectfully said, “There is a powerful individual named Gu Tian who has set up a challenge arena outside the clan, wishing to challenge Your Excellency.”

“He declared that he would wait for Your Excellency for one hundred years, and if Your Excellency did not dare to accept the challenge within one hundred years, then Your Excellency would be merely a name without substance.”

“This matter has caused a great stir, attracting many onlookers, and even people from other worlds.”

“Now, only the last year remains until the hundred-year deadline, and your subordinate is concerned that this matter will damage Your Excellency’s prestige.”

“Oh?”

Wu Ning frowned slightly.

This guy actually came to block the door?

He looked up towards the outside of the Wu Clan Secret Realm, his gaze piercing through the endless space, and immediately saw a gigantic Void Realm arena suspended above the super continent outside the clan.

In the center of the Void Realm arena.

A handsome man in a golden robe sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, as if his spirit was wandering in the great Void Realm.

Around him, a large number of powerful individuals were watching, many of whom seemed to be from other immortal powers.

Wu Ning even saw several very young Dao Lord powerful individuals, all of whom appeared to be around several hundred million years old.

At this age, for a Dao Lord Great Power, they were definitely extremely young.

Buzz buzz—!

Just then, another ancient warship sailed from afar, with a dark banner emanating a powerful Qi fluttering in the wind.

“What’s going on? Why haven’t they started fighting yet?”

On the ancient warship, a Black-robed Youth clad in gilded battle armor frowned and said.

His face was stern, and between his brows, there was a hint of domineering intent, his Qi unfathomable.

Beside him, several equally extraordinary young men and women followed.

“Hiss! It’s actually someone from the Archaic Divine Court! I didn’t expect even people from a hegemonic force to be attracted!”

Looking at the dark banner on the ancient warship, many exclamations immediately arose from the surroundings.

Hegemonic forces, ah, to the world, they were all high and mighty existences.

Hearing these voices, Gu Tian in the center of the arena immediately opened his eyes. He looked up at the Black-robed Youth, and a look of solemnity immediately appeared in his eyes.

“Your Excellency, we have been waiting here for a long time, but that Wu Clan Dao Child has not come out to accept the challenge, nor has anyone from the Wu Clan come forward to explain why.”

A man from the Hengyu Heaven Realm cupped his hands towards the Black-robed Youth on the ancient warship and said.

“Hmph! This Wu Clan is so arrogant?”

On the ancient warship, another Purple-Robed Man snorted in dissatisfaction.
