Chapter 349: Consecutive Breakthroughs, Seeing the Emperor Infant Again (4000)

The scene was completely one-sided.

Over a hundred prodigies from various Holy Lands were no match for Little Nannan at all. They were swept aside and sent out of the Secret Realm one by one.

The scene was incredibly exaggerated.

It made people's skin crawl.

Soon, only people from the Northern Dark Holy Land and the Kunlun Holy Land remained in the Secret Realm.

Little Nannan's gaze was like lightning as she targeted the people from the Kunlun Holy Land. She rushed forward and swept through them again, clearing out a large number of prodigies.

Su Qinghe seemed to realize late and hurriedly said, "Oh, Big Sister, that's enough, that's enough! Not everyone from the Kunlun Holy Land is an enemy. You don't have to hit them!"

Hearing this.

Little Nannan stopped her hand, though she was still somewhat skeptical.

Those Kunlun prodigies who had been chased around like rats looked resentful.

Su Qinghe's acting was too flamboyant.

Clearly, Su Qinghe and the others felt resentful that the Kunlun Holy Land had not offered any help when they were being besieged by the two major Holy Lands earlier.

Of course, from a rational standpoint.

They understood Kunlun Holy Land's goal of maintaining neutrality. No matter which side won, out of basic social etiquette, they would always get a share of these opportunities.

Why muddy the waters? Why get involved in the struggle between several major Holy Lands?

But understanding did not mean acceptance.

Who didn't have a bit of a temper?

Since they chose to stand by and watch, then for this final Opportunity, it was enough to leave a few people to just get a whiff of it.

"This girl really doesn't show any Face at all!"

Dugu Qianxue shook her pink fists, looking very angry.

Xiao Wanmeng glanced at her and said softly, "The child doesn't understand those things. She's in a fit of rage right now; it's already giving Face that she hasn't killed everyone!"

Dugu Qianxue thought, that's true.

She had also spent some time with Little Nannan. The two had a good relationship and often played games together, making them comrades-in-arms. She knew the other's personality; she wasn't someone who liked to think too much.

Wang Mu looked towards the hall where the Kunlun Holy Land was located and smiled, cupping his hands. "Auntie, my sister is a bit immature. She lost her head for a moment and overdid it. I hope you won't take it to heart."

Murong Qiushui, dressed in a gold-threaded wide-sleeved robe, stood at the head of the palace with a graceful bearing. She nodded and said, "Their skills were inferior. The Disciples of my Kunlun lineage can afford to lose!"

Her heart was also a bit conflicted at this moment.

Kunlun was used to being neutral, and it had been so for years.

She just didn't expect the Absolute Beginning and Universe Holy Lands to be so shameless this year, openly joining forces to target the Northern Dark Holy Land.

This made Kunlun's neutrality look more like being an accomplice.

But what she said was also true.

If the prodigies of the Kunlun Holy Land could only win by relying on others giving Face, then that Face might as well be discarded. It was a good lesson for those youngsters.

Moreover, the Northern Dark Holy Land had indeed left them some Face.

Otherwise, not a single person from the Kunlun Holy Land would remain… Finally.

The strife within the Secret Realm settled down.

Little Nannan walked to the edge of the crack, her Face lit up by the halo below.

She could clearly feel that the things below were of great benefit to her.

"Big Sister, what… should we do about this?"

Su Qinghe and the others also followed, looking down, quite eager to try.

They had never seen this kind of Opportunity before.

For a moment, they felt like they didn't know where to start.

Little Nannan pursed her lips and said, "You guys wait for me here. I'll go down and take a look!"

After saying that.

She leaped down.

Falling into the deep pit.

Leaving the others looking at each other… The last two days in the Grotto-Heaven.

Quietly slipped away.

The competition in the middle layer, the Soaring Dragon Realm, also came to an end. The final top spot was a female Disciple from the Kunlun Holy Land.

Everyone else performed well.

The strength of the major Holy Lands was on par with previous years, except for the Northern Dark Holy Land. Due to being targeted by the two major Holy Lands, they lagged far behind. Many people were sent out of the Secret Realm early and were very indignant.

Regarding this result.

The Disciples of the Absolute Beginning and Universe Holy Lands were quite satisfied, feeling they had fulfilled the Elders' instructions.

However, after they came out, they found that the Faces of Qiu He and the others did not look good.

After carefully asking those around them.

Their eyes immediately widened, filled with disbelief.

One after another, their gazes instinctively turned toward the Northern Dark Holy Land, looking at the young man in white, their hearts unable to settle.

This Jade Pool Feast.

The biggest winner was not any of the Holy Lands, but actually this Young Lord of the Wang Family who hadn't even entered the Secret Realm!

Who would believe this if it were told?

Two consecutive Pseudo-Emperor level opportunities, rarely seen in ten thousand years.

Had actually been obtained by the people under him and around him.

In the Azure Cloud Realm.

After Han Li and the other four from Langya Academy cleared out all enemies, they were in no hurry to leave. Instead, they sat down cross-legged to cultivate in peace.

The Spiritual Qi in the Grotto-Heaven was abundant, beyond what they could usually imagine.

And each of them had also obtained many benefits and opportunities inside.

With no immediate threat, they could safely absorb everything and transform it into their own strength as much as possible.

Thus, over the course of two days.

Their cultivation rose steadily, all reaching the limit of the Peak of Qi Refinement.

Especially Han Li.

Dragon Qi surged above his head, and a golden mist like a vast ocean rose behind him.

He looked like a god.

His temperament was completely different from before.

"His essence, Qi, spirit, blood, flesh, and bone have all reached the state of Flawless Perfection. This boy is about to establish his foundation!" someone exclaimed, seeing Han Li's state.

Sure enough.

Han Li suddenly took out a Medicinal Pill, which glowed with extraordinary radiance.

"Is this… an Immortal Rank Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Hiss—

"Not only are the ingredients for this pill extremely precious, but it also requires an Earth Immortal level expert to personally refine it. A wisp of Immortal Qi must be injected just as the pill is about to be completed. It's incredibly rare!"

"Did the Young Lord of the Wang Family have such a Wisdom Eye that he saw this person's extraordinariness long ago?"

"…"

Everyone exclaimed.

Immortal Rank Foundation Establishment Pills were too rare.

Not only was every pill material an extremely rare natural treasure—any one of which could serve as a basis for a Holy Land Prodigy's Foundation Establishment to forge a powerful Dao Foundation.

The most important thing was that wisp of Immortal Qi.

That could only be condensed by an Undergoing Tribulation Earth Immortal after successfully surviving a Lightning Tribulation. How difficult was that?

In this world, there were almost no Earth Immortals willing to use the Immortal Qi they risked their lives to condense to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for others.

Therefore, its price was exorbitantly high.

This was evident.

"An Immortal Rank Foundation Establishment Pill can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment to one hundred percent! It's impossible to fail! Moreover, it has the effect of remolding one's skeletal structure. No matter how poor the Aptitude, it can change one's fate against the heavens, allowing one to steadily step into the Soul Transformation Realm in the future, and even have a slight chance of Undergoing Tribulation!"

"But, isn't he being a bit wasteful?"

"He has already received the Dragon Emperor's Legacy, and his skeletal structure has been remolded once. In the future, even if he doesn't become someone like a Pseudo-Emperor, it shouldn't be hard for him to become an Earth Immortal, right?"

"Could it be that he's still worried about failing his Foundation Establishment?"

"…"

Many people could not understand Han Li's behavior.

Only those familiar with him, like Wang Mu, understood that this guy just felt it wasn't stable enough!

Even though the Dragon Emperor's Legacy had already remolded his skeletal structure.

Making his probability of Foundation Establishment increase significantly, making failure almost impossible.

But… that still wasn't one hundred percent!

There was still a one-in-ten-thousand chance of failure.

Too risky!

Not taking a pill that guaranteed one hundred percent success? That would be the real waste!

…And so.

Han Li successfully established his foundation, without any suspense.

Above the Void Realm, thunder rolled.

A thousand auspicious colors fell, turning into a thousand miles of golden haze that enveloped Han Li's head.

"A thousand miles of golden haze! A Supreme Dao Foundation!"

The Faces of Qiu He and the others looked even worse, their eyes practically spitting fire.

"Hiss… it's actually a Supreme Dao Foundation?"

"In ancient texts, once such a Dao Foundation is achieved, as long as one doesn't fall, they are almost certain to step into the Earth Immortal Realm, and even have a slight chance of entering the Pseudo-Emperor Realm!"

"The Northern Region is about to change!"

"This kid looks unremarkable, who would have thought?"

"…"

Uproar was everywhere, and all the heroes were dumbfounded.

The Kunlun Holy Sovereign and other experts had immortal light flowing over their bodies, clouds rising and falling around them, and the Void Realm trembling. The world showed signs of chaos due to their massive emotional fluctuations.

"Holy crap!"

"This world is too crazy!"

"Who says no noble sons come from humble houses? This is as noble as it gets!"

"How many years has it been? Is a new Pseudo-Emperor about to appear in the Northern Region?"

"My god! Such a figure didn't come from a Holy Land, but from Langya Academy?"

"The Young Lord of the Wang Family has a Wisdom Eye like a pearl, to be able to find such a figure from the vast ocean of ordinary materials!"

"…"

At this moment, in various parts of the Northern Region, countless netizens watching this scene through the live stream were shocked beyond measure.

A Pseudo-Emperor!

How noble is that?

Let alone the Cangyuan Realm.

In this era where Great Emperors do not appear.

When a Pseudo-Emperor appears, it is enough to look down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands!

In the vast starry river and thousands of worlds, countless living beings will surrender… "Supreme Dao Foundation…"

In the internet cafe, Lin Yan looked at the comments in the live stream room and couldn't help but mutter.

"Teacher, is a Pseudo-Emperor very strong?"

"Have some confidence!" Dan Xuan said.

"You mean… I can also reach that height in the future?" A glimmer of light appeared in Lin Yan's eyes.

"I mean, you should remove the 'is' and the question mark!"

"…"

Dan Xuan's tone was complex: "In the Cangyuan Realm, it has been at least thirty thousand years since a new Pseudo-Emperor appeared!"

"New Pseudo-Emperor?" Lin Yan caught the key point.

"Yes." Dan Xuan nodded and said, "When a Cultivator enters the Undergoing Tribulation Realm and has Immortal Qi in their body, their Lifespan can increase significantly, living for at least ten thousand years! And the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, that is already a different world altogether…"

An Undergoing Tribulation Earth Immortal can live for ten thousand years.

What more needs to be said about a Pseudo-Emperor?

In today's Cangyuan Realm, there must be ancient Pseudo-Emperors still alive.

Perhaps they are hiding in some Holy Land's secret grounds.

Lin Yan pondered, a sense of longing growing in his heart.

"However, you don't need to worry!" Dan Xuan said with a smile, "Your situation cannot be judged by common logic! The characteristic of the Emperor Flame Holy Body lies in infinite growth, with no upper limit!

As long as you can keep working hard to cultivate and grow!

Why wouldn't you have the potential of a Great Emperor?"

Lin Yan's expression turned grim: "Teacher, why do I feel a chill down my back hearing those words?"

Dan Xuan: "Huh?"

Lin Yan said: "In the legend of Heavenly Emperor Ye, there was a guy whose father always said that, and his end didn't seem very good!"

Dan Xuan snorted: "You believe those? We Cultivators should only believe in ourselves and the Great Dao!"

Hearing his teacher's scolding, Lin Yan immediately looked confident and proud, saying, "Understood, Teacher. I, Lin Yan, definitely have the potential of a Great Emperor!"

"Very good."

Dan Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "The live stream is almost over. We've been sitting here for nearly a month; it's time to get to business!"

Lin Yan asked: "Where are we going?"

Dan Xuan said: "To play ranked!"

Lin Yan: "???"

…Han Li's Foundation Establishment triggered a phenomenon between heaven and earth.

The vast golden haze scattered.

The Spiritual Qi in the entire Secret Realm was frantically gathering in their direction.

Beside him.

Xiao Dao, Wu Ming, and the other five were also bathed in the golden haze. Their auras rose again, and they gained many benefits, even beginning to establish their foundations one after another.

Their essence, Qi, and spirit were perfectly integrated.

Each of them looked solemn and dignified, like gods.

"They are all Flawless Foundation Establishments!"

"This is insane. Where on earth did the Young Lord of the Wang Family find so many prodigies?"

"Even for the favored children of the Holy Lands, with so many resources and Cultivation Techniques as support, it is extremely difficult to condense such a Flawless Dao Foundation!"

"If I remember correctly, among the thousands of Foundation Establishment Disciples in this batch of our Absolute Beginning Holy Land, there isn't a single Flawless Dao Foundation!"

"…Being able to condense this kind of Dao Foundation means the future is almost a smooth path, and they won't encounter any Bottlenecks before Soul Transformation!"

"…"

It was hard to imagine, as Langya Academy was the least concerned with talent and background when recruiting.

But right now, the six people in that Azure Cloud Realm.

Every one of them would absolutely be a leader among their peers in a Holy Land, crushing an entire generation.

"Especially that Han Li. This person is ruthless and uses any means necessary. While such a person is certainly contemptible, they often fare the best in the Cultivation World…"

"He has obtained such an Opportunity and has the Wang Family as support. His future is limitless, and no one can stop him!"

Everyone marveled.

And just then.

Above the Jade Pool, the sky changed drastically.

The Spiritual Qi went into an uproar.

Deep within the Kunlun Holy Land, an ancient bronze bell emitted a desolate Dao sound, ringing thirty-six times in succession.

On the previously cloudless sky, a crimson rift suddenly split open.

One hundred and eight thousand streaks of blood lightning spread like a spider web, and the sea of clouds churned to condense into an inverted lotus throne.

Every petal was a crystal of solidified demon blood, reflecting a ghostly light that made the stars pale in comparison.

A drum-like heartbeat came from deep within the ley lines. Every Cultivator present experienced a drastic change in expression, feeling their hearts beat violently and uncontrollably in the same rhythm, so uncomfortable they almost spat blood.

They could only force their Cultivation Techniques to run, attempting to concentrate and resist.

Boom!

From beneath the ground, a torrent from the Evil Sea suddenly emerged, and streaks of crimson blood mist appeared, becoming increasingly solid like a thick sea of blood, sweeping through the surrounding mountains for hundreds of miles.

In that blood-water, broken Law fragments rose and fell.

Suddenly, the entire sea of blood flowed upward, gathering into a three-headed, six-armed Demon Infant Dharma Aspect. One could vaguely see that it had a woman's Face.

"It's her!" someone exclaimed.

The pupils of Nie Zongsheng, Lu Jiuge, and the others all shrank.

They recognized that it was the woman from the Northern Dark Holy Land who had just beaten them up!

"What's going on?"

"Could it be a Breakthrough in Realm?"

"Strange, the world inside the Grotto-Heaven is separated from the outside world, clearly demarcated. Even if there is a Breakthrough, how could it cause a phenomenon in the outside world?"

"Indeed, not to mention this phenomenon is so terrifying!"

The expressions of the crowd changed repeatedly.

Only on the side of the Northern Dark Holy Land, the expressions of Xiao Wanmeng and the others were strange.

This kind of situation.

They had just experienced it once not long ago.

"Emperor Infant!"

Amidst the obscuring clouds and mist.

Murong Qiushui's lips parted slightly, but the words she spoke caused the heaven and earth to freeze.
