413: There are other candidates, women are as good as men

Somewhere in the Divine Dao Academy, within a magnificent palace.

A spatial light curtain, emitting strange fluctuations, hung in the center of the palace.

Beneath the light curtain, a beautiful figure knelt respectfully. This person was Wu Linglong.

She was dressed in an elegant white gown, its flowing sleeves spread across the ground like blooming white lotuses.

A simple cloud belt accentuated her slender waist, making her full bosom appear even more exquisite.

“Linglong, although it has always been rumored in our Heavenly Domain that you would definitely be Emperor Shitian’s Dao Companion,”

“Our Tianwu God Clan and Heavenly Revelation Divine Mansion have never formally responded to this matter. It’s all been based on hearsay.”

A ethereal and illusory voice came from within the Law light curtain: “The reason we didn’t explain before was simply because, apart from Emperor Shitian, there was no other Prodigy in the entire Heavenly Domain worthy of you, or worthy of being supported by your Celestial Support Divine Body.”

“Now, our Heavenly Domain has produced a Burial Dao, who completely surpasses Emperor Shitian in terms of talent, potential, Cultivation, and strength.”

“Therefore, we all believe that you becoming Dao Companions with Burial Dao would be best for you and for our Tianwu God Clan.”

“Of course, you have also spent several years with Emperor Shitian, and you might have some feelings for him. So, how to handle this matter is entirely up to you.”

“No.”

At this moment, Wu Linglong, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head, a faint smile gracing her lips.

“Linglong also believes that Burial Dao is a more suitable choice than Emperor Shitian.”

After all, her Celestial Support Divine Body was extremely special.

And she was known to the world as Destined Immortal Supporter.

As Destined Immortal Supporter, she only had one opportunity in her life to give back to the Origin.

Naturally, she had to choose the most outstanding man, the one with the greatest talent and potential, to be the object of her support and nourishment, helping him achieve Immortal Ascension.

Survival of the fittest: from all perspectives, Burial Dao was a more suitable candidate than Emperor Shitian.

Wu Linglong’s lips curved into a smile: “It seems I need to find a way to make contact with Burial Dao soon…”

.......

At the same time.

Somewhere in a Secret Realm of the Divine Dao Academy.

“Supreme Realm… Burial Dao is actually in the Supreme Realm…?”

Emperor Shitian, whose robes were completely stained red with the blood of wild beasts, clenched his fists tightly, an unwilling cold light flickering deep within his golden pupils.

It wasn’t just the impact from Kong Wudao, which far exceeded his expectations.

There was also the burning humiliation of being invisibly slapped in the face.

He had previously confidently declared that Kong Wudao’s Cultivation would definitely not be higher than his.

But now the truth had been exposed.

Not only was the other party’s Cultivation higher than his, but he had even reached the Supreme Realm!

Even if Kong Wudao might have used some special divine object to forcibly raise his Realm to this level,

The other party’s Cultivation strength had already demonstrably surpassed his!

Crack, crack, crack!

His clenched fists tightened continuously, causing his knuckles to crackle.

Since the day he was born,

He had been the unsurpassable young legend in the eyes of countless Cultivators in the Extraterritorial Land.

He was also an existence admired by countless Prodigies and Supremes.

And he had always believed this to be true.

Invincible talent and transcendent strength had forged his own invincible Dao Heart.

He also firmly believed that in this life, he would create a new generation of legends and become the strongest Heavenly Emperor.

But until he met Kong Wudao…

His Dao Heart, which should have been unshakeable for eons, had subtly wavered…

He took a deep breath, barely managing to suppress the emotions in his heart.

“No one dares to claim invincibility, and no one dares to claim to be undefeated.”

“Burial Dao… is the most difficult divine mountain I have encountered on my Dao path so far.”

“Although he is difficult to look up to, I am not without the strength to fight…”

Brilliant divine flames flickered deep within Emperor Shitian’s pupils.

“Once I fully integrate my recent insights and Cultivate my Three Thousand Dao Hearts to Perfection, I might just be able to trample him underfoot!”

But despite saying this,

Emperor Shitian’s apprehension towards Kong Wudao had reached its peak.

If there was truly no other way, he might even resort to the alliance he once disdained the most!

............

“Lord Burial Dao! Are you going to break the next record left by Emperor Shitian now? I know where it is, I can lead the way for you!”

“Lord Burial Dao! This is a hundred-thousand-year-old Primordial Ginseng. It has the function of cleansing meridians and marrow, and instantly restoring Spiritual Qi and Law within the body. Please accept it, Lord!”

“Lord Burial Dao! Do you need a maid? This little girl can sing and dance, and is proficient in everything from washing clothes to folding quilts!”

“........”

After the previous few rounds of uproar,

Countless Prodigies who had entered the Divine Dao Academy to Cultivate gathered around Kong Wudao, wanting to curry favor with him in various ways.

With Kong Wudao at the center, there was a surging crowd, with countless handsome men and beautiful women.

Ignoring all sorts of fawning,

Kong Wudao looked up at the Law Ranking list above his head.

[Name: Burial Dao, Points on Ranking List: 150000, Rank: 2]

Just now,

He had swiftly cleared several ancient Secret Realms of the Divine Dao Academy at an extremely fast pace.

In less than half a day, he had almost broken the records left by Emperor Shitian, leaving behind eternal records that no one in future generations would be able to break again.

Since he hadn't deliberately searched for the special tokens hidden in the Secret Realm,

He was still more than twenty thousand points behind Emperor Shitian, who was ranked first.

But he didn't care at all; he would be able to surpass the other party by breaking just one more Secret Realm record.

Breaking records in the Divine Dao Academy’s Secret Realms was now a trivial matter for him.

And just then, the System’s broadcast suddenly sounded in his ear.

[Ding! Detected that the Destiny's Chosen Protagonist of the Heavenly Mandate Era, Emperor Shitian, and his fated companion, Wu Linglong, have completely changed their attitude towards the Master, choosing the Master as the primary recipient of the Celestial Support Divine Body’s nourishment. The opponent’s heavenly mandate points have been deducted by 10000 points, remaining 57000 points!]

[Detected that the Destiny's Chosen Protagonist of the Heavenly Mandate Era, Emperor Shitian, has had his heavenly mandate points reduced by 20000 points due to Wu Linglong’s complete change in attitude towards the Master, remaining 340000 points!]

[Congratulations, Master, for triggering a triple critical hit, gaining 90000 heavenly mandate points!]

[Special Tip: A total of four Sky Fate People are gathered around the Destiny's Chosen Protagonist of the Heavenly Mandate Era, Emperor Shitian. If all of them are hunted or tamed, the opponent’s heavenly mandate points will be directly halved. Current progress: 1/4.]

Kong Wudao frowned slightly.

What a Wu Linglong, she really thought she was hot stuff.

She even dared to set her sights on him.

Others might be tempted by her Celestial Support Divine Body.

But in his eyes, he simply didn't need Wu Linglong's Celestial Support Divine Body.

Immortal Ascension was a Realm he was destined to reach.

Mentioning that annoying woman, Wu Linglong,

He suddenly thought of Nangong Xinyue again.

Aside from her appearance, Nangong Xinyue was truly the woman with the most outstanding Heart-Nature he had ever seen.

She was a true heroine, as if the phrase was made for her.

Especially now, when compared to Wu Linglong, the difference was immediately apparent.

.........

At the same time.

A peerless woman, stepping on a divine rainbow, landed outside the Divine Dao Academy’s mountain gate.

The woman was dressed in a pure, flawless snow-white robe, with a thin veil of ice covering her face, revealing only a pair of cold, ice-diamond-like beautiful eyes.

This woman was Nangong Xinyue, who had also undergone a face-changing disguise and altered her aura!
