Chapter 1390 Chapter 325: Great Dream Clan
Yinjing City noticed that Li Hao seemed indifferent to hearing about his clan and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. The Xuanyin Clan was ranked among the top of the Hundred Races, being one of the Six Origin Clans, and anyone would give it a second glance upon hearing its name.
“I wonder, Junior Brother Haotian, which clan are you from? It seems there isn’t a race with the surname Hao among the Hundred Races.”
Yinjing City’s face showed interest, but a trace of contempt lingered in his eyes.
Li Hao’s expression remained calm, and he said, “There wasn’t before, but there will be in the future.”
“Oh?”
Yinjing City raised an eyebrow, obviously misunderstanding, only sneering inwardly, while outwardly smiling warmly:
“Junior Brother has great ambition. Do you intend to bring your race into the ranks of the Hundred Races on your strength alone? That would require passing the test of the Hundred Races Emperor Battle Mountain.”
Li Hao quietly looked at him, a hint of sharpness and warning in his eyes. Initially mistaking him for trespassing here, he considered it a misunderstanding, but now his words were tinged with provocation, which was somewhat offensive.
Seeing the sharpness in Li Hao’s eyes, Yinjing City was momentarily stunned, feeling somewhat provoked.
In the presence of his master, he couldn’t erupt in anger, but this young man dared to show him such a face.
Suppressing his anger, Yinjing City chuckled lightly, “I’ve heard that the Junior Brother came to our sect not long ago. I wonder where you cultivated in the past, for which sect would willingly let go of such a prodigious talent? Or was the Junior Brother biding his time, unrecognized by his former sect?”
Li Hao’s face turned cold, “How is that your business?”
“?”
Yinjing City was stunned, clearly not expecting Li Hao to actually dare to lose his temper with him in front of their master.
Great Dream Master also noticed the issue between the two, his expression changed slightly, his smile vanished, and his face hardened.
“Master, this Junior Brother, he…”
Seeing the change in Great Dream Master’s demeanor, Yinjing City felt a secret joy and immediately prepared to play the innocent victim.
Li Hao also noticed the change in Great Dream Master’s expression. Thinking he had scolded the disciple in front of the master, he couldn’t help but sigh, but his Dao Heart was steadfast, not willing to compromise.
If the Great Dream Master blamed him, he would repay any favors and sever ties.
But the reprimand Li Hao awaited did not come. Instead, with a cold face, Great Dream Master addressed Yinjing City:
“Jingcheng, what is the meaning of your biting words? As a senior brother, I have already warned you to get along well with Haotian and support each other. Are you questioning Haotian’s background? Is that your place to inquire?!”
Upon hearing the Great Dream Master’s stern words, both Li Hao and Yinjing City were stunned, and Meng Huaiyue on the side also looked at Great Dream Master with surprise, clearly not expecting the youth to have such a high position in the master’s eyes.
“Master, he… I was just speaking casually, how was I to know this Junior Brother has such a fiery temper.”
Yinjing City felt somewhat wronged, though he nearly bit his teeth in jealousy towards Li Hao.
“Did you think I have been living in vain these years? If I couldn’t understand these words, how could I hold this sect together for ten thousand years!”
Great Dream Master’s expression remained ice-cold and he sternly said, “Your Dao Heart is stalled at the Immortal Monarch Realm. I have repeatedly warned you to open your heart. To become a king, you must at least have the heart of a king. How else can you harmonize with the Heavenly Dao, and how can you comprehend it?”
Yinjing City’s face changed, and he lowered his head without a word.
“Master, Senior Brother didn’t mean it.”
Meng Huaiyue quickly spoke up, as her close relationship with her senior brother made her inclined to say something in his favor.
“Then it was intentional.”
Great Dream Master snorted coldly, glanced at Yinjing City, his anger subsiding, replaced by a hint of disappointment and sigh, he said:
“Go cultivate, the Southern Domain competition this time places the honor and disgrace of the sect on your shoulders. The enemies are formidable, especially the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, which has had conflicts with my Great Dream Nine Abysses. If you face Tian Hongyi, he won’t show any mercy.”
Upon the mention of the strongest disciple of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, Tian Hongyi, Meng Huaiyue’s expression also changed slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes.
She and her senior brother had only recently entered the Immortal Monarch Realm, and were indeed no match for Tian Hongyi, but the sect wanted to advance to the Tianyi Sect, which would most likely lead to a confrontation.
Hearing the Great Dream Master’s words, Yinjing City felt a chill in his heart, but immediately thought of what had just happened, and felt a bitterness in his heart.
He had to fight for the sect against powerful enemies, while his master seemed so biased.
Feeling downcast, he agreed softly and turned to leave.
Before he left, he avoided looking at Li Hao so as not to lose control of his anger and alert his master.
Meng Huaiyue glanced at Li Hao and sighed lightly. She vaguely guessed that her master was pinning hopes on battles within the True Immortal realm group, and this young man might bring glory to the sect, perhaps even more than they could.
Once the two had departed, Great Dream Master withdrew his gaze, but the disappointment in his eyes was still evident, and he said to Li Hao:
“I’m sorry you had to witness this; two children who have failed to live up to potential, with talent but a weak Dao Heart.”
She shook her head with a bitter smile, her expression bearing regret.
Li Hao was somewhat silent. He hadn’t expected the Great Dream Master to be so partial toward him, though it wasn’t exactly partiality, since he hadn’t done anything wrong; the other had been rude.
But, after all, the other was the Great Dream Master’s disciple, while he was only a transient visitor in this Great Dream Nine Abysses.
Seeing Li Hao’s silence, Great Dream Master regained her composure, and softly said: “Are you still angry with Jingcheng?”
“No.”
Li Hao shook his head, looking into her dream-like eyes, and softly replied, “It’s not worth mentioning; such a small matter won’t leave the slightest mark on my heart.”
Great Dream Master nodded. Over the past two months together, she had long discerned Li Hao’s exceptionally high Dao Heart. She had specifically sent an inquiry to Li Tie Mu of Sword Abyss, learning that Li Hao had resonated nine times in the Heart Inquiry Tower, possessing an Eternal Dao Heart, confirming that Li Hao’s words were true.
If he could not accommodate even these trivial matters, what talk of eternity?
“You should rest well, we’ll head to the Imperial Capital first.”
Great Dream Master said to Li Hao.
“I’m not tired.”
Li Hao shook his head, his gaze sweeping across the main hall, “Did you paint that screen yourself?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Li Hao notice the painting on the screen, Great Dream Master showed a slight smile.
Li Hao had long noticed that not only the screen, but several other items here were painted.
“May I view them?”
“As you wish.”
Great Dream Master said with a smile.
Soon, the flying ship arrived above the Imperial Capital of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.
There were already dozens of flying ships suspended in the air, varying in size, with many figures on their decks, all disciples of various sects.
Among them, a giant sword was floating like a ship, belonging to the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower.
On that flying sword stood a majestic palace, layered like a tree hollow, with many figures standing upon it.
Above the Imperial Capital, Emperor Chu’s Dharma Aspect appeared to bid farewell to the disciples of the sects under the Immortal Dynasty.
Compared to the flying ships of various sects or other Domain Artifacts, the Imperial Family’s departure was the most eye-catching, being on the back of a Chaos Ancestor Dragon of the Immortal King Realm, carrying Chu Tianhuang and other members of the Imperial Family.
Their figures stood on the back of that Chaos Ancestor Dragon, appearing as tiny as scales and fur.
At this moment, this scene of departure to the Supreme Heavenly Palace was projected across the Nine Thousand Immortal Cities of the Immortal Dynasty, as the residents of each city sent their best wishes and encouragement to those going into battle.
Yet, among these well-wishers, a group of figures emerged from an Immortal City, loudly calling out to the sky, looking anxious, as if eager for their voices to pierce through the projected scene and reach the skies above the Imperial Capital.
However, these figures were not conspicuous in the vast Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, and though they stirred some waves in their respective Immortal City, they were unlikely to transmit their voices to the distant Imperial Capital.
Emperor Chu’s Dharma Aspect raised a hand, and an Immortal City in his palm expanded, finally becoming incredibly majestic.
The flying ships of the sects began to land on this Immortal City.
The colossal body of the Chaos Ancestor Dragon bearing the Imperial Family coiled outside the Immortal City.
Afterwards, Emperor Chu’s Dharma Aspect closed his hand, the Immortal City shrank and vanished within his palm.
“You are to guard the Immortal Dynasty. During this Southern Domain competition, the Ancient Demons might take the opportunity for a surprise raid.”
Emperor Chu’s Dharma Aspect turned and spoke with authority to the two figures in the void.
These two were the left and right arm of Emperor Chu, Yuan Xinggang and Shangguan Hong.
Originally, along with the head of the Demon Suppression Bureau, they formed a tripartite force, the strongest factions beneath Emperor Chu, and the three strongest individuals.
But with the fall of the head, only these two remained.
After their farewell, Emperor Chu’s Dharma Aspect began to carry the Immortal City towards the endless stars above the Dynasty, its massive form disappearing into the stars.
