265: Ascending Together

The various factions of the Human Race no longer bothered with destroying the various Formations; whenever one was discovered, they simply needed to report it.

Then, they would send people to watch over the location, and as long as they reported any unusual activity to their Sect immediately, that would suffice.

Over the next hundred years, the major Formations were activated one after another, sacrificing countless Mortals.

Someone always had to make a sacrifice; Li Haotian had no other choice.

In order to ensure the permanent peace and tranquility of the Heaven Domain, he had to obtain a large number of death warrior summoning cards; only then would he have the capital to counterattack the alien races.

If he did not do this, there would likely be no way to completely resolve the hidden dangers within the Heaven Domain.

Time and time again, he struck, causing countless Powerhouses to perish while countless death warriors appeared in their place.

Li Haotian now had over three thousand death warriors at the Great Emperor Realm under his command.

He could lead these people to charge head-on against the alien races at any time.

The only problem now was that the Beyond Great Emperor Powerhouse from outside the territory was extremely difficult to deal with.

Even Li Haotian, at the Peak Great Emperor Realm, could only defend passively when facing such a Powerhouse and dared not take the initiative to attack.

That one collision had left him with quite a psychological shadow, for he would feel a sense of dread until he possessed the absolute power to crush his opponent.

During their last clash, the opponent had struck from across a major plane, and it was merely a projection.

Even so, it had caused a terrifying collapse of space and made his right hand ache slightly; if the opponent's true form were here, Li Haotian, even while wearing a full set of golden magical treasure, might not be a match.

For a Cultivator, a hundred years was barely enough for a single session of closed-door Cultivation.

There were plenty of experts who would go into closed-door Cultivation for a thousand years.

All of Li Haotian's Disciples had now broken through to the Great Emperor Realm and had already reached the Middle Stage of the Great Emperor Realm.

Li Haotian's own Cultivation had also risen with the tide through various tasks, and he was now at the Peak Great Emperor Realm.

At this moment, he could Ascend at any time, but he was unwilling to do so and continued to store up a large number of death warrior summoning cards.

He still remembered the System telling him that once he Ascended, all these death warrior summoning cards could be synthesized, and the same applied to his own Realm Cultivation Experience Cards.

When Li Haotian Ascended, he would inevitably need to summon a large number of Powerhouses beyond the Great Emperor Realm.

Otherwise, he would not dare to Ascend at all.

Once he left the Heaven Domain with a large number of death warriors, Disciples, and the entire Heavenly Profound Sect.

The people of the Heaven Domain would only be able to wait for death in silence.

Unless he could have a large number of Powerhouses beyond the Great Emperor Realm before Ascending.

His plan was very simple.

When the time came, he would once again head to the Fissure alone, passing directly through the Fissure on the alien side to reach the alien race's rear base camp.

Then, he would undergo his Heavenly Tribulation and Ascend right in front of all the alien races.

After Ascending, he would immediately summon a large number of Beyond Great Emperor Powerhouses.

And then destroy the Foundation of the alien races completely.

Only in this way could he protect the peace of the Heaven Domain.

Such behavior by Li Haotian was undoubtedly highly risky; if he were to be forcibly ambushed while Undergoing Tribulation, he would surely perish and his Dao would dissipate.

However, anyone who attacked him would also be included in the punishment of the Heavenly Tribulation. After all, no one was allowed to intrude during the process of Undergoing Tribulation; otherwise, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would act upon both people simultaneously, and the power would double.

The reason this mechanism was set up was likely out of concern that someone might fail due to insufficient strength while Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension, and thus have a large number of Powerhouses help them undergo the Tribulation.

In this way, they could easily pass the Lightning Tribulation and Ascend.

After Li Haotian Ascended, the System would automatically help him bring all the Sect Disciples and others to the Immortal Realm together.

In this way, no matter where he Ascended, he could take everyone with him.

After figuring all this out, Li Haotian began to accelerate his own Cultivation, very seriously, and utilized a massive amount of resources to reach the Peak Great Emperor Realm.

He estimated that it would still take some time before he reached the critical value for a Breakthrough.

When that time came, he would go to other worlds to Ascend and break through.

Before leaving, he had to arrange everything properly.

Li Haotian wandered around the Sect, seeing a large number of Disciples Cultivating, and on the Arena, there were constant sparring matches.

Many Disciples were competing against each other here; their strength was not weak, and they were all leaders of the younger generation.

In them, Li Haotian even saw the shadow of his former self.

In a hundred years, the world had changed drastically; everything had long since become unrecognizable, and even the imperial Legacy of the Mortal Dynasties had gone through several cycles.

Everything in the world continued to function, and the past alien invasion of the Heaven Domain had turned into mere myths and legends.

After all, all the Formations in the Heaven Domain had long since been triggered and had all failed, not a single one succeeding. The Purple Beast Clan's attack had also been very intense, but when faced with nearly a thousand Heavenly Profound Sect Powerhouses at the Great Emperor Realm, they still met their end.

"Sect Master."

Seeing Li Haotian's figure, the various Elders nodded and bowed in greeting; very few of the younger generation in the Sect recognized him.

Over these years, Lin Tianxuan had been responsible for handling everything on his behalf.

No one knew that Li Haotian was the Sect Master of the Heavenly Profound Sect; only the older generation of Elders knew.

Under the instruction of Ling Yiyi and Li Haotian, the Snow Domain Gate had successfully merged; the Disciples of both sides had gathered together, and the same went for their territories.

The Chiyuan Sect was also busy with merger matters recently.

This time, when Li Haotian left, he would also take his Dao and their Foundation with him.

The merger of the three parties immediately made the Heavenly Profound Sect even more terrifying; it was basically no longer on the same scale as the other Ten Great Powers.

Now, the Ten Great Powers were divided into the number one power and the remaining nine powers.

The sheer number of Great Emperors alone was something no other power could possibly block.

Li Haotian still had over ten thousand Great Emperor Realm Summon Cards in his hand, but he did not want to summon these lower-Realm Powerhouses; he wanted to save them to synthesize after reaching a higher Realm.

"The Sect has been developing very well recently. Now, announce a piece of news to the world: the Heavenly Profound Sect will be accepting Disciples from the entire world."

"Regardless of which power you come from, you can come to the Heavenly Profound Sect for testing. As long as you succeed, you can become a Disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect."

"Before long, the Heavenly Profound Sect will Ascend as a whole Sect."

"Those who can become our Disciples will already be Disciples of the Immortal Sect."

All the death warriors understood what this meant; they bowed respectfully and subsequently issued this order to the world.

Upon hearing this order, the various major powers were stunned.

The Disciples in their hands, even those at the direct-Disciple level, bid farewell to their Revered Masters and Sect Heads; only a very small portion remained in their Sects, while most wanted to go to the Heavenly Profound Sect to take a chance.

For a power about to Ascend, it wasn't just the Disciples who were tempted; even the Elders, Grand Elders, and Sect Heads of various powers were extremely tempted.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Profound Sect did not restrict anyone from coming for testing; as long as one's talent was qualified, they could all join the Heavenly Profound Sect and Ascend together.

In a very short time, a large number of Cultivators arrived at the Heavenly Profound Sect and began to participate in the testing.
