472: Dao Zun is coming

“I didn't expect that wait to last for a thousand years.”

“When I returned to Great Jin again, her hair was white, her Lifespan was nearing its end, but she was still waiting there. She said she just wanted to see me one more time.”

“She said many other things, but I can’t remember them all. I only remember her saying that she had no regrets in this life, and if there was a next life, she hoped we could meet again.”

“Afterward, I buried her in the Xu family’s cemetery, hoping that every time I returned, I could visit her…”

Xu Ziqian said calmly, a faint smile on his face.

The hotpot in the gilded copper pot gurgled and boiled, and the atmosphere seemed to become subdued.

Li Yuanbao took a big gulp of wine and laughed heartily, “Oh, let’s not talk about us two. What about you, Young Master Wu Ning? How have the past few million years been for you?”

“With your outstanding appearance, Young Master, and your unparalleled terrifying talent, even if you don’t have a Dao Companion, you should at least have quite a few close female friends, right?”

Wu Ning smiled, “As for me, besides Cultivating in seclusion, I’ve been traveling around. Life has been peaceful and quite good. I do have a few close female friends.”

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian both gave him a thumbs-up, expressing their envy.

Although Wu Ning spoke simply, they immediately understood how wonderful it was. Besides Cultivating, he was traveling, unlike them who always had endless Sect missions and had to constantly rush around for Cultivation resources.

He was completely free and unconstrained, and even had a few close female friends accompanying him, which made others green with envy.

Compared to their hard lives, it was like heaven and earth; there was simply no comparison.

“Young Master, when you get married, you must call us. We’ll come join the fun.”

Li Yuanbao said.

“Of course, but my marriage will probably take a long time. You’ll have to wait.”

Wu Ning smiled slightly.

When the hotpot was mostly finished, the three continued to drink and chat happily. They drank for several days, and Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian both got completely drunk.

They lay directly on the ground, sound asleep.

Wu Ning shook his head, pouring himself a drink.

… …

Half a month quickly passed again.

Boom!

On this day, a terrifying aura emanated from the depths of Tai Xu Immortal Palace, instantly spreading throughout the entire Immortal Palace and then rapidly expanding towards the surrounding Immortal Realm.

“What happened?”

Li Yuanbao and Xu Ziqian were instantly startled awake, getting up and looking around.

“Hiss, what a terrifying aura!”

Enveloped by this terrifying aura, their spirits were roused, and the remaining alcohol instantly cleared from their minds.

“This aura… it must be that your Immortal Palace’s Tai Xu Immortal Emperor has successfully advanced to Dao Lord, right.”

Wu Ning glanced at the depths of the Immortal Palace and said softly.

“Dao Lord?!”

Both of them widened their eyes, startled for a moment, then showed a hint of pleasant surprise.

If Old Ancestor Tai Xu successfully advanced, then their Tai Xu Immortal Palace would become the fourth ancient Dao tradition in the Saint Serene Immortal World to have a Dao Lord Great Power presiding over it.

The status of the entire Tai Xu Immortal Palace would be elevated by a full grade, and everyone would benefit then.

Leaving aside other things, just the difference in identity and status would be immense.

Could an Immortal King from Taiyi Sacred Sect have the same deterrent power as an Immortal King from Celestial Fate Immortal Sect?

Even if their Cultivation and strength were the same, their identity and status would be worlds apart.

At the same time, within Tai Xu Immortal Palace, powerful figures soared into the sky, their gazes excitedly fixed on the depths of the Immortal Palace, their faces all showing excitement.

“Excellent, Old Ancestor has finally advanced to Dao Lord!”

“Haha, now our Tai Xu Immortal Palace is going to rise completely! With Old Ancestor successfully advancing to Dao Lord, I wonder how those guys from Celestial Fate Immortal Sect will contend with us. Even Taiyi Sacred Sect will probably be wary of us!”

“Heaven bless Tai Xu, Heaven bless Tai Xu!”

Everyone discussed excitedly. With Old Ancestor Tai Xu successfully advancing to Dao Lord, no one would dare provoke their Immortal Palace anymore.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Several figures with powerful auras flashed and flew towards the depths of the Immortal Palace, but they quickly stopped. They gazed at the direction of the Immortal Palace’s depths, a myriad of brilliant lights flashing in their eyes.

“Is this the aura of a Dao Lord Great Power? It truly is terrifying. Even I, at the Immortal Emperor stage, find it difficult to approach. It feels as if a single thought could erase me.”

“Below the Dao, all are ants. This is truly a powerful Dao expert!”

The few people next to them said with fervent gazes.

Om—!

A burly figure appeared out of thin air above the firmament. His eyes were extremely bright, and there was a Dao imprint on his forehead. Immortal light swirled, Dao charm permeated, radiating an incomparably magnificent and sacred aura, as if he were an Incarnation of the Dao.

“Old Ancestor!”

“Old Ancestor has come out of seclusion!”

Everyone looked up, gazing at that burly figure, their eyes filled with fervent excitement.

Boom!!

Then, at this moment, an even more terrifying aura suddenly erupted, instantly permeating the entire world.

“Tai Xu, how dare you! Not only did you condone Tai Xu Immortal Palace and Celestial Fate Immortal Sect provoking a great war, leading to the devastation of the Immortal Realm and the loss of countless lives, but you even dared to kill many powerful experts from my Taiyi Sacred Sect.”

“Such outrageous audacity is simply a capital crime! This Venerable will act on behalf of the heavens today and personally eliminate you, to comfort the deceased and restore peace to the Immortal Realm!”

A thunderous roar resounded.

Tai Xu Immortal Emperor… no, he should now be called Supreme Mystery Dao Venerable.

He looked at the figure that appeared in the sky, somewhat speechless for a moment, “Old man Taiyi, if you want to make a move, just do it directly. Why bother fabricating such baseless nonsense?”

“To act like a harlot yet still want to erect a memorial arch, treating the world as fools, is truly disgusting!”

“Presumptuous!”

Supreme Unity Dao Venerable roared in anger, his voice cold, “You sharp-tongued fellow, do you think that advancing to Dao Lord gives you the right to contend with this Venerable?”

“Hmph! An old Dao Lord who has been famous for countless years, I’d like to see how strong you are!”

Supreme Mystery Dao Venerable summoned his innate Dao sword, and with a flash of his figure, he actively charged towards him.

“Seeking death!”

A hint of killing intent flashed in Supreme Unity Dao Venerable’s eyes, and a powerful Dao weapon instantly appeared in his hand.

Boom boom—!!

The two instantly clashed, terrifying Dao power collided and erupted, radiating dazzling light. The world-destroying battle aftermath swept across the starry sky. Large areas of the surrounding space could not withstand this terrifying destructive energy and continuously shattered, revealing large patches of pitch-black Void Realm black holes.

“Quickly activate the defensive grand formation!”

Seeing the continuously incoming terrifying residual power, an Immortal Emperor expert was horrified and immediately roared, summoning an Immortal weapon to block the invasion of those terrifying aftershocks.

The other Immortal Emperors dared not delay and all acted together, defending with all their might.

The Sect-protecting defensive grand formation was quickly activated, like a giant barrier light shield, protecting the entire Tai Xu Immortal Palace within it.

Boom boom!

Countless Immortal Palace Disciples looked on in horror, only to see continuous terrifying aftershocks crashing against the defensive grand formation, emitting bursts of loud noises, and the entire Immortal Palace seemed to be shaking.
