"An Immortal Emperor... He is actually an Immortal Emperor Expert!!"

Gui Xiang looked terrified. What kind of existence had she offended?

If she had known his Cultivation was at this level, she would never have dared to speak to Li Haotian like that just now.

If an Immortal Emperor Expert wanted to kill her, he would likely only need to point a finger, and she would undoubtedly die.

Although there was only one major Realm separating the two, that single major Realm was enough to prove the gap between them.

To reach the Immortal Emperor Realm, one must practice the Law, cultivate a Law to its extreme, and gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao of this world; otherwise, a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm is simply impossible.

The same Law only allows one Immortal Emperor Expert to control it.

If others study the same Law as this Immortal Emperor, they naturally cannot achieve a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Realm.

No matter how deep their understanding or how strong their insight, they remain mere Immortal Kings; without the approval of the Heavenly Dao, there is no way to achieve a Breakthrough.

Thus, the vast difference between the two was immediately apparent.

To become an Immortal Emperor, one must thoroughly understand the Law.

Only then is there a glimmer of hope for a Breakthrough.

She was currently only at the Middle Stage of the Immortal King Realm, and the Law she studied had barely reached 50%.

Even the most trashy Law in this world, once cultivated to the Immortal Emperor level, could easily crush her when facing her Law.

This is the essential difference between an Immortal Emperor and an Immortal King.

Gui Xiang finally understood why Wangcai had been holding her back.

If the other party truly got angry, she probably wouldn't even have the chance to resist and would be killed directly.

Thinking of this, Gui Xiang broke out in a cold sweat. How much courage had she had to dare speak to an Immortal Emperor Expert like that before!

Wangcai sat on the ground, wagging its tail, looking somewhat helpless.

Gui Xiang didn't know what kind of ending she would Face next.

She had tried to dissuade him, and she had done so frantically, but the other party wouldn't listen no matter what.

"You, you, you..."

The half-step Yao Beast King black tiger was now trembling all over.

The several big Yao Beasts beside him were the same, and the lower-Realm Yao Beasts behind them were so scared they were defecating and urinating in terror.

"You lot were given a chance, but you were useless."

As Li Haotian spoke, he swung his sword forward, and the Sword Qi spanned thirty thousand miles!

Everything in its path was annihilated.

Those lower-Realm Yao Beasts were crushed directly.

"I think your Cultivation is decent, which is why I spared your lives."

"I'll give you a chance: if you are willing, stay and become the guardian beasts of our Sect; if not, you can die right now."

Li Haotian gently reached out and made a grasping motion.

That half-step Yao Beast King and the five Golden Immortals flew toward him instantly.

"No, no, no! Don't kill me! I was wrong!"

The Yao Beast that had been so arrogant and unbridled in the air just moments ago was now shrieking in terror.

Its Face was full of fear and panic.

"No, please don't!"

Seeing them cowering like this, Li Haotian chose to place a contract on them directly.

He made them his pets.

They could never betray him for all eternity and must remain at the Heavenly Profound Sect to guard it.

Gui Xiang stared blankly at everything before her, feeling somewhat dazed.

Wouldn't her own fate end up like this too?

Li Haotian grabbed the few Yao Beasts and returned to the ground.

He then threw them directly into the Sect.

"From now on, you are responsible for guarding the Sect. If you need anything for your Cultivation, just ask the Elders."

"If any of you dare to cause trouble in the Sect, don't blame me for cooking you up."

The few Yao Beasts trembled in fear and nodded repeatedly.

The large black tiger found a random ravine and hid inside.

The Heavenly Profound Sect covered a massive area, so hiding these few Yao Beasts and letting them live there was not a difficult task.

Li Haotian returned to the Sect and was immediately surrounded by the people around him.

"Long live the Sect Master!"

"We haven't been in the Immortal Realm for long, but the Sect Master has already become such a powerful Powerhouse! He is simply my idol!"

"The Sect Master is awesome! Long live the Heavenly Profound Sect!"

"With such a Sect Master, how can we not flourish?"

"If only I could have such Cultivation and talent, I would definitely slap the Faces of those who bullied me yesterday."

...

Everyone was discussing excitedly, with smiles on their Faces.

Such a major crisis had been resolved by the Sect Master with a casual wave of his hand, and they suddenly felt a burst of safety.

The days of extreme pain, worry, and trembling in fear were gone forever!

Li Haotian greeted everyone with a smile and then slowly walked up to Gui Xiang.

The crowd had been grateful to this woman earlier, but since she had spoken disrespectfully to their Sect Master, no one gave her a good look now.

"I am very sorry, respected Immortal Emperor. It was my rudeness earlier; I did not respect you. I am willing to take an oath to the Heavenly Dao right here: I am willing to lead the Black Dog Immortal Kingdom to use all our strength to protect the Heavenly Profound Sect for a thousand years."

Gui Xiang bowed very low, her tone quite sincere.

A cold sneer couldn't help but appear on the corner of Li Haotian's mouth; this fellow was thinking quite well for herself.

If their Black Dog Immortal Kingdom announced to the outside world that the Heavenly Profound Sect was under their protection.

If something happened to them within a thousand years, their enemies would likely also target the Heavenly Profound Sect.

At that time, Li Haotian would not only have to protect the Heavenly Profound Sect but also protect their Black Dog Immortal Kingdom.

This calculation was truly ingenious.

"I do not agree with this proposal. I need you to swear unilaterally: if we are in danger, you must use your full strength to help, but if you are in danger, we do not need to take action, and you are not allowed to ask for help or announce the relationship between us to the outside world."

Li Haotian stated these conditions without leaving any room for negotiation.

He was wondering whether he should force a contract with Gui Xiang.

In any case, he wouldn't abuse the couple.

Wangcai lived a life like an immortal here every day, and since Gui Xiang came, she could accompany her husband, and life was not bad.

Upon hearing this, Gui Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, not expecting her little trick to be seen through by the other party at a glance.

"Since that is the case, I am willing to follow your words."

Gui Xiang nodded and then immediately took an oath in front of everyone.

This counted as their compensation for this incident.

Gui Xiang patted her chest with lingering fear; she understood that it was thanks to her husband's Face, otherwise her outcome would be no different from that Yao Beast King.

Being a slave here probably wouldn't be very pleasant.

But Gui Xiang did not know that she had missed a perfect opportunity to have a chance to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm within ten thousand years.

Wangcai reached out its hind paw and scratched its neck. It had wanted to speak up to keep her, but after seeing Gui Xiang's expression, it gave up.
