266: bid farewell

"You're telling me! Let me tell you, although I didn't pass the test, our Sect's Old Ancestor has now gloriously become an Errand-Runner for the Heavenly Profound Sect!"

"What's an Errand-Runner? Our Sect's Great Emperor Realm Old Ancestor has now become an Outer Sect Disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sect!"

The conversations among the various Cultivators nowadays are basically just comparing the positions their Old Ancestors obtained after joining the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Even if their own Old Ancestor is just an Errand-Runner, they still brag about it.

After all, the standards for accepting Disciples at the Heavenly Profound Sect have become extremely strict now; one must have an Aptitude of at least the Great Emperor Realm to join the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Those younger Great Emperor Realm Powerhouses who choose to join the Heavenly Profound Sect directly will not be stopped by anyone, but the status they obtain can only be that of an Errand-Runner.

They must pass an Aptitude test before their status within the Sect can be finally determined.

To become an Outer Sect Disciple, one must have the potential for Ascension.

The requirements for Inner Sect Disciples are even higher, and for Personal Disciples, they are even more terrifying.

All of this stems from the various Secret Realms within the Sect. These Secret Realms can enhance a Disciple's Aptitude, and all the original Disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect now possess extremely Heaven-Defying Aptitude.

Any Outer Sect Disciple brought out would have the Aptitude of a Great Emperor Realm Powerhouse.

Li Haotian originally thought that the Aptitude of a Great Emperor Realm Powerhouse meant being a person possessed of Luck, but unexpectedly, among so many Disciples, not a single one could generate Luck. This meant that the upper limit of his Disciples was by no means just that.

In the future, his Disciples will surely be able to become Dragons and Phoenixes among people in the Immortal Realm; it is absolutely possible for them to even become Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors who control worlds.

A large number of Powerhouses from various forces have joined the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Even their Old Ancestors are no exception.

Li Haotian is not worried that all the Great Emperor Realm Powerhouses from every Sect will leave.

After all, many of them cannot let go of their own Sects and are unable to leave.

Therefore, only a few Great Emperor Realm Powerhouses from each force have joined the Heavenly Profound Sect.

Li Haotian looked at the sky; this world is still just as beautiful.

Even after so many years, it remains the same.

A large number of Powerhouses in the Heavenly Profound Sect have long since fallen into a state of Cultivation, and everyone is in secluded meditation.

This recruitment of Disciples lasted for a full five years.

Li Haotian basically took all the newborns born in the Heavenly Domain during this period who possessed Great Emperor Realm Aptitude under his tutelage.

The number of Heavenly Profound Sect Disciples has already exceeded ten million.

These are ten million Disciples with the potential of a Great Emperor!

On the side of the Fissure, everyone from the Heavenly Profound Sect has already withdrawn, letting people from other Sects fill the gap. In any case, it won't be long before Li Haotian also needs to undergo Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension.

Originally, Li Haotian only needed to Cultivate for another month to reach the critical value and undergo Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension. However, to recruit more people, he did not choose to ascend immediately but instead traveled all over the Heavenly Domain.

Only after five years did he return to the Sect to announce his secluded meditation to the whole world.

Li Haotian sat cross-legged on his Meditation Cushion and took a deep breath. The massive amount of Spirit Stones around him instantly merged into his body.

A vast amount of spiritual power rampaged wildly within his body, continuously battering his Meridians.

It wasn't until he felt some bloating and pain, and his Dantian approached saturation, that it gradually stopped. For him, he might have only sat for less than a quarter of an hour, but for the outside world, a month had already passed.

When Li Haotian emerged from seclusion, every step he took caused the surrounding Void Realm to show faint signs of shattering.

Clearly, because his own strength was too great, this world could no longer withstand it, and he had to undergo Undergoing Tribulation and Ascension.

Li Haotian did not notify anyone but instead flashed alone into the Fissure.

With his current Cultivation and strength, the person in this world who could detect him hasn't even been born yet.

Li Haotian looked at the residence where he once lived, and infinite emotion welled up in his heart. The Human Race had guarded this city for tens of thousands of years, and now they had already seized a large number of cities and resources outside.

Having stayed in the Heavenly Domain for so long, it wasn't all in vain; at the very least, he had helped the Human Race expand many resources.

Looking at everything familiar before him, he was filled with emotion. On the city walls where bloody battles once took place, there were now only a few people standing guard.

After all, the alien races were suppressed in the most core layer and had no way to get out, so there was no need to worry about attacks; these people were just standing guard as a routine.

Li Haotian sighed softly, then gently took a step forward with his right foot, and his whole body instantly arrived at the new defensive line of the Human Race.

A thousand miles further ahead was the city of the alien races.

Li Haotian observed the Cultivators here; they were just like Zhang Hai and the others back in the day, standing guard on the city walls with high spirits. Occasionally, alien races would come to harass them, but they were all fended off.

In the past hundred years, the population of the Heavenly Domain had increased nearly tenfold, and the large population had given birth to a large number of Cultivation Prodigies.

As long as this population base remains, the Human Race individuals with Great Emperor Realm Aptitude that Li Haotian took away will be able to fill all the vacancies within 50 years.

A thousand years later, the Heavenly Domain will surely blossom with a hundred flowers!

An infinite sense of heroism rose in Li Haotian's heart, and he then arrived on the city wall. He did not know when, but he had already donned a suit of armor.

At this moment, looking at the alien races charging at the city wall, he held a Long Spear and thrust it forward.

He did not use his Cultivation Technique or his strength, but solely relied on his Physical Body and the Long Spear in his hand to attack the alien races in front of him.

This feeling gave him a very familiar sensation.

Afterward, he threw away the Long Spear and armor in his hand, and amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, he slowly flew into the air again, his body emitting a brilliant golden light.

Among those present were veteran soldiers whose eyes had long since grown dim. The moment they saw the golden light rise, everyone revealed an expression of extreme astonishment.

"He! It's him! The legend on the city wall!"

Someone was already teary-eyed, pointing with a trembling voice at the figure shrouded in golden light.

Li Haotian quietly scanned the area below; he had fulfilled his last bit of regret.

The moment he stepped forward with his right foot, Li Haotian arrived at the most core area of the alien city, the place wrapped by the Fissure.

Many of the alien races standing guard were similar to the Human Race; they also had to present items like an identity Token and a pass to be allowed to enter.

When they saw a Human appear in front of them, the two guards simultaneously widened their eyes.

This Human had no aura on his body, and he smiled and waved at them. By the time they blinked again, the person had already disappeared.

The two looked at each other, their faces revealing expressions of inexplicable horror, and then they wiped their eyes in a daze.

Everything around them had not changed at all; it was still the same lively scene as before, with alien races living here in large numbers and having established a marketplace.

But why was that Human just now so real?
