Chapter 792

This battle ended, Shen Tian Wuji's eyes were defeated, he took a deep look at Li Hao, and turned to walk off the stage dejectedly.

Losing to Li Hao, the nine-sequence immortal seal, and only a hundred years of soul life, the pride in his heart was completely shattered. If Li Hao had a thousand years of soul life, he could still find other reasons in his heart to find comfort for himself, but now, he couldn't even find this comfort. It was completely inferior skill!

"Young Master!"

The God Clan elder greeted him. Seeing Shen Tian Wuji's eyes, his heart shook, and he became extremely nervous, fearing that Shen Tian Wuji would collapse his Dao heart because of this and never recover.

Although a genius is sharp, like a peerless treasure sword out of its sheath, once the treasure sword loses its edge, it will lose all its brilliance.

"I'm fine."

Shen Tian Wuji's voice was hoarse, he said one sentence, then lowered his head silently, without words.

Compared to the wild and arrogant appearance earlier, he was like a defeated peacock at this moment, but he wasn't obviously dejected, just becoming introverted, and his eyes were undergoing a transformation.

As a top-tier genius, he was incomparably uncomfortable inside at this moment, but this battle didn't completely crush him, and his Dao heart didn't collapse, but his inner self changed, becoming different from before, more introverted, and awakening something sharper.

The God Clan elder didn't know what his young master was thinking, his face full of worry, but didn't know how to persuade him. This kind of thing was also a rare opportunity, and it was also something everyone would inevitably face. No one could always win and never lose. Falling early could also lead to awakening early.

However, whether he could rise from failure depended entirely on his personal ability and character.

"Hmm? That youth... is the Supreme waving at him?"

Suddenly, the God Clan elder said in surprise.

Hearing his words, Shen Tian Wuji, who was silent with his head lowered, was also slightly stunned and looked up.

The only thing that could move his heart at this moment was the youth on the stage.

The status of other major clan geniuses in his heart was far inferior to this youth, unless there were those two personal disciples of the Supreme, and that guy from the Imperial Clan.

On the Imperial Platform, after Shen Tian Wuji left, Li Hao also restrained his power, preparing to turn and walk off the stage.

But suddenly, the Supreme in the clouds raised his hand and waved at him gently, a voice appearing in his mind:

"Child, come here."

Li Hao heard the voice and looked at the Tiangong Supreme, but saw the other party's gaze looking down calmly. He couldn't see what the other party was thinking. When he met his gaze, Li Hao felt like he was deep in the sea and a quagmire, feeling immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. His Primordial Spirit seemed to be quickly pulled out of his body, and his consciousness felt like it was collapsing and separating.

Li Hao's pupils contracted slightly, feeling a bit horrified inside. Was this the power of an Immortal Emperor? Just looking directly into his eyes made Li Hao feel crazy.

The other party's imperial eyes contained terrifying soul power. Although not intentionally targeted, and not revealed, it was still impossible to look directly at.

It was like an abyss; just looking at the edge would make one dizzy, with a feeling of falling.

Although he didn't understand why the other party was looking for him, Li Hao still flew off the Imperial Platform and flew toward the other party obediently.

Perhaps it was his performance in the battle just now that gained the favor of this Tiangong Supreme? Li Hao thought inside, feeling it was possible. After all, he had just displayed the nine-sequence immortal seal, which was the standard requirement for an Immortal Emperor to accept a disciple.

"Hmm?"

Above the clouds, the Chu Emperor and others saw Li Hao flying over, all surprised, and then noticed that Li Hao was facing the Tiangong Supreme in front.

Their eyes moved slightly, and they all had guesses inside. Could it be that the Tiangong Supreme had taken a liking to his talent?

Such a thing was normal. After all, these geniuses came to this Southern Region battle to make a name for themselves. What was their purpose? Wasn't it to get a famous teacher and the favor of the strong, to become their disciple, and to get better cultivation resources?

Although the Heavenly Sect was the top sect of the various immortal dynasties, how could it compare to the Imperial Clan? Moreover, there were many sect disciples, and they had to weigh things. If they could become a disciple of a few more, the cultivation resources they could get would be more abundant, which could also support the extreme cultivation of geniuses in various realms.

"Chu Emperor, congratulations. It seems your dynasty's son-in-law is about to become a personal disciple of the Supreme."

Beside him, the Emperor Tianzhao Emperor smiled, but this remark had a bit of teasing and schadenfreude.

The Chu Emperor's eyes sank slightly. If Li Hao were of the Imperial Clan and became a personal disciple of the Supreme, that would be a good thing. But he was only a son-in-law... For practitioners, a Dao companion might not be the only one. Like himself, he had many in his harem, spanning long years, and he had encountered saintesses and geniuses of various clans during his travels, and had also formed good relationships.

Because of this, he knew that the status of a son-in-law alone couldn't tie Li Hao down.

"This is a good thing. In the future, the Yan Chu Qin Xianchao can also get the help of the Tiangong Supreme. I hope we can help each other more in the future to retreat the Ancient Demons."

Beside him, the Jin Emperor smiled slightly. This remark sounded like congratulations, but also like sarcasm; both feelings were expressed extremely implicitly, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

The Chu Emperor didn't speak, just staring at Li Hao's back. The Jin Emperor's remark had another layer of reminder, which he understood inside.

At this moment, Li Hao had arrived before the Tiangong Supreme.

Seeing this scene, countless people on the mountaintop were in an uproar, emitting exclamations and envious voices.

"Look, that General Hao Tian is in front of the Supreme."

"It must be the Supreme's summons, otherwise how would he dare?"

"What does this mean? Could it be that the Supreme wants to accept him as a disciple?!"

"Is it surprising? With that General Hao Tian's talent, it's normal to become a personal disciple of the Supreme."

Countless people were looking at this scene in surprise, revealing envious expressions. Although surprised, combined with Li Hao's performance in this battle just now, it seemed like a matter of course.

In the crowd, Xue Jian Xin and Ming Master Yue's expressions shifted slightly, and they looked at each other, both getting up and flying toward their master.

If the other party became a personal disciple of their master, then he would be their junior brother in the future.

In the Great Dream Nine Abyss Sect, the Great Dream Master and Li Li Tiemu and others were all stunned, then looked at each other.

They hadn't expected this scene, but it seemed very reasonable, to the point that they didn't know what to do.

"The Supreme wants to accept a junior brother?"

"This..."

Master Yue Xi and Gu Yan were both stunned, then revealed complex expressions in their eyes, but felt happy for Li Hao inside.

Being able to become a personal disciple of the Supreme was a great opportunity. However, in this way, the gap between them and Li Hao would be even greater, and whether they could still be called a "junior brother" in the future was unknown.

Amidst the uproar and envious voices of the crowd, Li Hao bowed slightly to the Tiangong Supreme and said a greeting.

The Tiangong Supreme's expression never changed from beginning to end, calm as water, unable to see his inner thoughts. He said slowly:

"General Hao Tian, right? Your talent is extraordinary. Where are you from?"

Li Hao's eyes changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This junior is from Yan Chu."

"You weren't born in Yan Chu, were you."

The Tiangong Supreme said calmly, but his voice carried a bit more indifference.

Li Hao was stunned, looking up at this Supreme, but only saw those imperial eyes like abyss candlelight, looking down at him, emitting great majesty, making him feel like he wanted to kneel and crawl.

But his Dao heart was eternal, and he still remained clear in that majesty, secretly horrified inside.

Could the Supreme have seen through his origin?

Also, the Immortal Emperor was already the ultimate realm of the True World, the end of practitioners, mastering unimaginable power, which he couldn't even imagine or speculate.

All disguises, in front of such an existence, might be meaningless.

Moreover, his origin was not something that couldn't be seen.

He answered: "This junior is from the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World."

As his clear voice fell, suddenly, Li Hao felt the clouds around him flowing slowly, and the noisy uproar and envious voices on the mountaintop became quiet in an instant. Only a few surprised and doubtful inquiries remained, but in this silence, they seemed quite loud.

Li Hao was puzzled, looking up. The Supreme's expression before him still didn't change, unable to see what he was thinking.

His gaze turned to the surroundings, but he saw that except for the Chu Emperor, the other imperial emperors of the immortal dynasties were looking at him strangely.

And on the ground, the sect masters and elders of the various immortal dynasties were all full of surprise, and also carried a bit of sudden realization, their expressions complex.

Li Hao was somewhat puzzled. Could it be that he said something wrong?

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

In the crowd, some youths were asking the elders beside them in doubt, but the elders had complex expressions and didn't speak.

"Is the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World some amazing place? Why have I never heard of it?"

Someone was puzzled, looking at Li Hao in surprise, treating it as a mysterious supreme holy land, just the name of which scared countless people into changing color.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. That was ten thousand years ago..."

An elder lowered his head to respond to his offspring, his eyes vicissitudinous.

"Chiying."

When Li Hao was puzzled, the Tiangong Supreme called a name.

A red figure on the mountaintop heard the call, her expression shifted slightly, she got up and flew over, and in the blink of an eye, she landed beside Li Hao and bowed:

"Master."

Li Hao looked at the woman beside him. It was exactly the Chiying who had helped him when the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World was invaded by Ancient Demons and had also rescued him.

He had known since arriving here that she was a disciple of this Supreme, but not a personal one.

"Was he the one you brought back from the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World?"

The Tiangong Supreme said calmly.

Chiying nodded.

She had already reported this to her master at the time, and her master had rarely asked about the specific situation, which she had explained one by one. The most impressive thing to her was Li Hao. She also saw that the other party was a rare genius, but didn't expect that the other party would walk onto the battlefield of the Southern Region battle in just a few years, and perform so brightly, defeating strong clans one after another.

Moreover, the nine-sequence immortal seal was a top-tier immortal seal she hadn't reached, and the other party had mastered it.

Getting Chiying's answer, the Tiangong Supreme looked at Li Hao quietly and said:

"Mastering forbidden immortal arts like Azure Heaven, Returning Light, Myriad Shadows, and coming from the Lord Tianyang Pseudo-World, if I'm not mistaken, you are the disciple of that sinful immortal Lord Tianyang, right?"

Hearing the first part was fine, but at the second half, Li Hao was stunned.

He looked at the Supreme before him, facing those imperial eyes with heavy pressure, and asked: "Sinful immortal?"

At this moment, the Chu Emperor and other imperial emperors of the ancient immortal dynasties also had their expressions shift slightly, all realizing that the problem was wrong, and soon understood the reason why the Tiangong Supreme summoned Li Hao.

"I guessed it when he unleashed those immortal arts earlier..."

The Empress Yuan Zun Empress's expression shifted slightly, staring at the youth's back, but there was no shock in her eyes, only a trace of unbearable feeling revealed, but it was extremely obscure, and no one noticed.

The Emperor Tianzhao Emperor suddenly turned to look at the Chu Emperor, revealing a trace of profound meaning in his eyes.

"You didn't know?"

The Tiangong Supreme saw Li Hao's puzzled appearance, his eyes calm, and said slowly:

"Ten thousand years ago, Ancient Demons swept through the True World. In that shocking battle, we Immortal Emperors joined forces to fight back, but at that critical moment, someone retreated, causing the defense line to collapse, and Ancient Demons invaded and ravaged. My Southern Region suffered heavy losses. For these years, I have constantly borrowed the power of the Heavenly Dao to nourish the Southern Region True World, only to maintain the current situation."

His voice was neither fast nor slow, but every word was like a pearl, echoing on the mountaintop and reflected in the various immortal cities of the Southern Region.

Regarding the deeds of the Tiangong Supreme, countless people in the various immortal cities of the Southern Region had heard of them since childhood. This was also the reason why the Tiangong was the center of the Southern Region and was revered and loved by countless people in the Southern Region.

It was the Tiangong Supreme before them who had paid a great price in that battle to protect the Southern Region.

As for other major regions, they were devastated. After the war, it was also the Tiangong Supreme who helped the major clans of the Southern Region rebuild their defense lines and rebuild the current peaceful inner circle of the entire Southern Region.

Although the current range of activities was ten times smaller than the prosperous period ten thousand years ago, the population had also greatly shrunk, and Ancient Demons occupied most of the star regions. For the various clans of the Southern Region, the current situation was already the best result.

"What does the Supreme mean by this? Retreating? Could it be that he is talking about..."

"That's right. Do you still remember the pursuit eighty thousand years ago?"

"That's right. In that reckoning after the war, the Ten Great Immortal Arts that once made the Southern Region famous were all listed as forbidden, gradually lost, and could no longer be displayed."

"Speaking of which, the ones that General Hao Tian unleashed just now seem to be the lost Ten Great Immortal Arts. It seems he really is the disciple of that Immortal Emperor!"

"Being a disciple of a sinful emperor, he actually dared to come and participate in the Southern Region battle. My heavens, is he really not afraid of death?"

"You can't say it like that. The one who committed the crime was that Immortal Emperor, not him. He only has a hundred years of soul life. The cause and effect of the past shouldn't involve him, right?"

In the various immortal cities, many of the older generation were sighing, their expressions complex, not expecting that this stunning monster would be the disciple of that Immortal Emperor.

And in the various immortal cities of Yan Chu, some figures were looking at the sky in shock and nervousness, clenching their fists, without a word.

Some of them were beggars on the street on weekdays, some were old madams in deep alleys, and some were old women beating clothes by the river, but if one traced back in the long river of time, one would find that they had been like this tens of thousands of years ago. The neighbors beside them had changed batch after batch, but they remained unchanged.

In the more distant era, they were all wearing golden armor, with great battle prestige, dominating one side, completely different from their current down-and-out state.

Listening to the words of the Tiangong Supreme, they clenched their fists, the veins on their faces bulging, and the blood rage that hadn't surged for tens of thousands of years seemed to be about to burst out of their chests at this moment, their eyes revealing a cannibalistic gaze, staring at the sky, but avoiding the imperial eyes reflected, just staring at the clouds beside him.

That's right, even if they were furious to the point of madness, they didn't dare to look directly at the other party. This was not submission to the other party's majesty, but a direct look of anger. Even if they were thousands of miles away, they would be perceived and sensed by that Supreme.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Xue Jian Xin and Ming Master Yue, who had flown to the edge of the clouds and arrived beside their master, heard these words from their master and were slightly stunned, then looked at the youth.

They were so intelligent that they naturally knew what their master meant. They had heard their master mention this matter shortly after becoming his disciples and had been indignant about it, but didn't expect that the existence that made them indignant would have his disciple right before them.

"Retreating?"

Li Hao looked at the Tiangong Supreme, somewhat stunned. He had never heard of such a thing from Old Man Wang.

Moreover, when he received the inheritance, in that Imperial Hall, only the Imperial Soul Luoli remained. There were not many treasures left inside.

Even the immortal stones given to him were only three IOUs!

This was how poor it was, which was enough to show that in that battle, the master he had never met had already burned out.

But the Supreme before him actually said that the other party retreated?

"Supreme, could there be a misunderstanding?"

Li Hao asked.
