I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

– – – – – –

Guesses rippled through the Great Luo Realm.

By this time, various chat rooms, groups, and public accounts had been established in the Great Luo Realm, allowing news to spread quickly.

Since the appearance of the ancient races at the Martial Arts Gathering, the live broadcast of the Great Luo Realm had been temporarily shut down.

Subsequently, all the spectators were arranged to leave through the Origin Heaven Church's domain gate, turning that place into an information black hole, with no news emerging for half a day.

An atmosphere of panic enveloped the realm, with many believing that the ancient races were about to declare war on the human race; otherwise, why would so many ancestral kings of the ancient races come?

Even cultivators from sects near the ancient race territories immediately headed towards the human race's heartland, not daring to stay there, fearing they would bear the brunt if the ancient races truly went to war with the human race.

The Source Art incarnation divided its attention, observing the brewing news in the Great Luo Realm and also monitoring various parts of the human race.

In the outer space of the Big Dipper Star, eyeball-like magical artifacts with wings were orbiting, continuously transmitting data to the Great Luo Realm network.

Jiang Li's incarnation had been absent for some time, and the reason was here: he had been debugging this set of satellite magical artifacts.

Now, through the Great Luo Realm as a relay station, the Source Art incarnation could have a complete view of the entire Big Dipper's situation. These magical artifacts had higher resolution than satellites because they were engraved with Dao patterns, like having divine eyes, capable of seeing every person on the ground clearly.

The mere arrival of the ancient races had caused a huge upheaval, with many sects having disciples fleeing, and even some relocating their entire sect.

Now that the human race was undergoing a major development, where could they not develop? Even following the Sun-Moon Dynasty to the sea was a good option.

Of course, these were just small sects. Some sects with inheritance tightly closed their mountain gates and urgently contacted the Dao Alliance, hoping to get concrete news and help.

But the Dao Alliance and the ancient races were still haggling. The matter was of great importance, involving not just one or two sects or holy lands on the human side, and not just one or two races on the ancient race side. Too much was at stake, and the things that could be used as bets alone had to be carefully divided, leading to endless arguments.

The ancient races naturally wanted to get their hands on some of the human race's rich mines, especially those close to the Immemorial Mines of the Beginning, but the human race naturally refused. Why should they offer it up as a bet just because the ancient races wanted it?

Betting is not about what you want, but about what I am willing to bet!

But the ancient races' goal was resources. At this time, the endless arguments were all to bring more human race resources to the betting table. To this end, they also paid a considerable price.

They had only awakened recently, and each race occupied a very small territory. Before they could expand, they were deterred by the Origin Heaven Church and dared not invade recklessly.

Now that they had to put it on the betting table, their small territory was naturally not enough, so they had to take out some of their ancient savings. Only in this way would it be enough to be equal.

Therefore, simply discussing this issue took a lot of time.

Even the ancestral lands of many small races were put on the betting table, because besides this, only the flesh and blood of their ancestral kings were more valuable.

If they wanted to participate and share the benefits after the victory, they naturally had to bring capital. Without capital, why would anyone play with you?

And this time, so many Great Sages of the ancient races had taken action together, and the geniuses and ancestral kings of the Primordial Era had appeared. They were all characters who had once swept across the world invincibly, while the human race had few Saints, only too many Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons.

The human race and the ancient races will hold a Ten Thousand Races Assembly after the Dao Alliance Martial Arts Gathering, using the form of martial arts to determine the ownership of various resources.

The two sides agreed that the Ten Thousand Races Assembly would officially be held ten days later. This was some time that the human race had painstakingly delayed, because they still had to invite some people.

It's not that the human race doesn't have Saints, it's just that there are few. Now is the post-Desolate Ancient Era, and the Great Emperor Qing's Dao suppresses cultivation, making it not so easy to cultivate.

But because of this, the cultivators who can become Saints in this environment are not ordinary people.

It's just that some are difficult to find. These Saints are used to being free and unfettered.

Although there are still the foundations of the major forces, they will not be easily asked to come out, because their lifespans are running out.

… …

"Dividing the Dao as the boundary, ten battles above and below."

Ye Fan was a little shocked when he heard this news.

This was not a competition protected by the Luo Mo Great Array, but a battlefield for races to fight for interests. Such battles would result in death.

"It's a pity that they only let each person fight one match."

Ye Fan said, looking at the latest news released by the Dao Alliance in the Great Luo Realm.

If he could fight continuously, he would like to try taking on ten opponents below the Dividing Dao realm all by himself.

"This rule should be aimed at you."

The cunning Black Emperor could naturally see how much effort the ancient races had put into this. "You and Jiang Li, and Dongfang Taiyi, all cultivate the Great Yin and Great Yang, and your strength is very strong. They are afraid of accidents."

"After all, there are direct descendants of the ancient emperors inside. If one or two of them die, things will be serious."

"Heh, ancient emperor's sons and daughters."

Ye Fan was quite interested in the so-called ancient emperor's sons and daughters. "I wonder how the so-called ancient emperor's sons and daughters compare to Wang Teng."

"This is probably incomparable. Even if…at your cultivation level, they don't have that kind of combat power. How did you nurture such a pervert?" The Black Emperor said vaguely.

"Dog, who are you talking about?" Ji Ziyue asked.

The Black Emperor quickly changed the subject, "This time, is your Ji family's Divine King Body going up? There is a chance to fight the ancient emperor's sons and daughters. Maybe you can defeat one and start your invincible path."

Ji Haoyue was also asking himself whether he should take such an opportunity.

Ancient emperor's sons and daughters, what powerful opponents. Using them to hone himself would definitely have outstanding results, but it was very likely to lead to his death.

Am I stronger than them?

If it were before, Ji Haoyue might have had some confidence, but after watching the battle between Ye Fan and Wang Teng, his confidence wavered. If the ancient emperor's sons and daughters had the level of that battle between Ye Fan and Wang Teng, he would never be able to win.

"Dead dog, don't fool my brother!"

"This emperor is not fooling you. Even the direct descendants of the ancient emperors, your brother can now fight one or two. Do you think I don't know that you often run to the Yao Guang Holy Land? Moreover, do you think everyone is a pervert like Ye Fan and Jiang Li? There hasn't been one like them in all of history, only these two freaks."

Ye Fan: Why do I feel like this is not praising me.

"I will go."

"Brother!" Ji Ziyue was a little anxious, "You have to think clearly. Those are the ancient emperor's direct sons and daughters, and this is not a competition with the Origin Heavenly Master's formation to protect you. In a one-on-one situation, I can't help you."

The Black Emperor looked at Ji Ziyue suspiciously, "How are you going to help?"

"It's good to have confidence. The ancient emperor's sons and daughters are not invincible." A man who came with Ji Haoyue and Ji Ziyue said.

He looked very ordinary, not the kind that made people unforgettable, nor did he have the high-spirited and awe-inspiring aura of the Divine King Body, but once he spoke, all eyes turned to him.

Because this person came with the Ji family, and from the position, the Ji family seemed to respect him implicitly, even Ji Haoyue, the Divine King Body, was no exception.

This man's identity must be very special, otherwise it would be impossible for the Ji family's Divine King Body to respect him so much.

He continued: "This time, count me in."

Who are you?

"Count me in too. The Divine King Ancestor pointed me out."

Jiang Yifei led a group of Jiang family disciples into this palace, which contained Ye Fan and others from the Sun-Moon Dynasty, as well as the Ji family. They were close and talked together here, waiting for news.

He didn't like fighting, but the Divine King Ancestor personally ordered troops, so he couldn't help it, and he should do his part for the human race.

"Brother Jiang." Ye Fan greeted him.

He had heard of Jiang Yifei. After all, he was not alone. In the Sun-Moon Dynasty, there was a dedicated information channel, not to mention he also had a gossipy girlfriend like Ji Ziyue.

And there was also his sister, Jiang Tingting. He was more clear about the Jiang family's affairs. Although Jiang Yifei was not well-known, he had once defeated the Divine King Body in the clan, and his strength was very strong, but his temperament was indifferent.

"Everyone is here."

Hua Yunfei also led the disciples of the Tai Xuan Sect into here. He walked in here, his eyes swept over everyone, and stopped on Jiang Yifei.

There was a familiar aura. Could it be…

Jiang Yifei also looked at him. Two people who practiced the Ruthless Great Emperor's scripture but did not know each other's details met at close range.

It's just that they didn't say anything here, and pretended that nothing had happened.

"Count me in too. This time, my Tai Xuan Sect will also contribute."

"With Brother Yunfei here, we have one more chance of winning," Ye Fan said.

Because of Luo Mo's relationship, he knew that Hua Yunfei's strength was extraordinary. He had never tried his best in every competition, and the same was true for the Martial Arts Gathering.

Although in the battle between Hua Yunfei and Wang Teng, it seemed impossible for Hua Yunfei to win against the demonized Wang Teng, his strength was definitely more than it appeared on the surface.

"This makes up half of the people. I don't know how the candidates have been determined for the battles above the Dividing Dao realm."

"The Great Sages don't take action. Above the Dividing Dao realm, I'm afraid they are all Saint King realm seniors. Can we find so many people in a short time?"

"Do we really have to ask for the foundation?"

The young geniuses gathered together, worried about the Ten Thousand Races Assembly ten days later.

In the upcoming ten battles, the human race might not even be able to gather enough Saint Kings. Even if they could, their strengths would definitely vary. They couldn't pick and choose like the ancient races, sending out the strongest individuals in each realm.

“The seniors and elder brothers must have made preparations. We just need to do our own part,” Ye Fan said.

Luo Mo always prepared thoroughly for everything. Hopefully, it would be the same this time.

“Brother Ye is right. We just need to do our own part,” Hua Yunfei said with a smile.

He wasn't afraid of the ancient emperor's son. Jiang Li had even found the ancient saint corpse of a human-Holy Spirit hybrid for him to devour. Coupled with some special physique origins he had obtained before, he was a top-tier genius in terms of physique alone. Moreover, he had two versions of the Ruthless Great Emperor's scriptures, various profound techniques, and two of the Nine Secrets.

“If Wang Teng were still here, he should be able to win one match,” someone suddenly said.

Everyone nodded.

Although Wang Teng had become demonized, in terms of strength, none of the present prodigies dared to say they could confidently defeat Wang Teng before his demonization.

If Wang Teng were here, they would indeed have one more helping hand.

However, Wang Teng should still be healing at this time. He had suffered severe injuries, and even his primordial spirit was shattered. If it weren't for the protection of the Source Heavenly Master's formation, Ye Fan would have been able to beat him to death.

Suddenly, another group of people arrived at the palace, making the place lively.

This group was led by Jiang Li.

Behind Jiang Li was a group of young prodigies.

“Feathered Body, Underworld King Body, Battle King Body…”

Many prodigies with special physiques had arrived, apparently other combatants Jiang Li had found, all in the Great Power realm.

“Greetings, Emperor Jiang.”

As saints, even if Jiang Li was their peer, they had to respectfully greet him.

“Are you already preparing?” Jiang Li asked with a smile, “That's good. Let's all get to know each other. Stay in the Source Heavenly Sect for the next few days to cultivate and await the start of the Ten Thousand Races Assembly. The Dao Alliance will prepare all the cultivation resources you need. Just say what you need, and someone will deliver it to you.”

Ye Fan perked up when he heard this. Was he going to enjoy the special benefits of the Dao Alliance?

“Senior Brother,” he felt it was better to address Luo Mo this way outside, “Is there anything special?”

They were going to fight the ancient race's prodigies, even the ancient emperor's sons. He felt the so-called cultivation resources wouldn't be simple and should include some good stuff.

When everyone heard Ye Fan say this, they immediately realized there must be special benefits. Otherwise, it would be impossible to directly send some people to their deaths. Not everyone here could fight the ancient emperor's children.

Jiang Li said, “The accumulations of the ancient ten thousand races from all eras are appearing in this generation, leaving our human race to resist alone. This is not an easy task, but everyone should do their best.”

Ye Fan felt Jiang Li had become very serious, especially when he was secretly giving them cheats, and he was doing it with a straight face.

“Here are some semi-finished magic treasures, refined from special materials. Take them for self-defense.”

Jiang Li waved his hand and scattered more than ten magic treasures. Each one was light and dreamlike, as if without substance, floating in the air and radiating magnificent light.

Bells, pagodas, cauldrons, furnaces, sabers, swords, shields, armor—all kinds of weapons were available.

“Those who are ready to fight can choose one for themselves. If you are unwilling to fight, you may leave on your own. We will not force you,” Jiang Li said before disappearing, leaving a group of young people here.

“What kind of weapon is this? What a strange aura.”

Xu Xuan of the Feathered Body looked at the pure white halberd in front of him and reached out to grab it, but it passed right through, without substance.

Then, he probed with his divine sense and easily pulled the halberd into his Immortal Platform with his divine sense.

His hand couldn't grasp it, but his divine sense could. This was actually a primordial spirit magic treasure!

“A primordial spirit magic treasure!”

“What amazing refining techniques!”

A barbarian man who came with him was quick-witted and grabbed a crimson club, storing it in his Immortal Platform with his divine sense. Then, he shouted in surprise, “This magic treasure can actually nourish the primordial spirit!”

Was this a magic treasure or a miraculous elixir?

“Little by little, I am combining my primordial spirit with this treasure, and I can feel my divine sense growing rapidly. If I can refine this magic treasure, my divine sense will be more than ten times stronger than before!”

“How is this even possible?”

“Incredible skill!”

Hearing everyone say this, Black Emperor immediately tried to use his divine sense to snatch the three magic treasures closest to him with quick eyes and hands.

But Ye Fan had been guarding against this dead dog for a long time. He pressed down on his dog head, suppressing Black Emperor's divine sense with his own. Ji Haoyue also silently stepped on his tail.

“What are you doing? Let go of this emperor! This emperor also wants to fight for the human race!”

Everyone was speechless. How could this dog be so shameless?

“You guys choose first,” Ye Fan signaled everyone to pick first while he suppressed the dog.

After everyone had chosen, there were still a few left. Ye Fan picked a cauldron-shaped magic treasure and stored it in his Immortal Platform with his divine sense.

Then, he felt a familiar aura.

“Could this be refined from Northern Aurora Immortal Light?”

He had refined the Northern Aurora Immortal Light that Luo Mo had given him, so he was relatively familiar with the aura of this treasure, and he sensed an aura similar to the Northern Aurora Immortal Light from the primordial spirit magic treasure.

The Northern Aurora Immortal Light, when refined into the primordial spirit, could protect the Immortal Platform from decay, the primordial spirit from immortality, and extend lifespan. Even saints craved it.

And Luo Mo had actually refined it into a semi-finished primordial spirit magic treasure. As long as a cultivator refined it, they could easily merge it with their primordial spirit, equivalent to cultivating a primordial spirit secret technique while consuming a divine fruit that could strengthen the primordial spirit.

After all, this was the Northern Aurora Immortal Light, something even saints needed. It was very difficult to refine it into the primordial spirit. Ye Fan had spent a lot of time slowly refining it before.

But refining such a primordial spirit magic treasure was very fast for him. He estimated it would only take a few days to completely refine it, which was more intimate to the cultivator than pure Northern Aurora Immortal Light.

It seemed Luo Mo had solved the shortcoming of the slow refinement of Northern Aurora Immortal Light.

“Northern Aurora Immortal Light?”

“It's actually Northern Aurora Immortal Light.”

“We can actually obtain such treasures. This is a supreme treasure that can unite the primordial spirit with the Dao!”

The Dao Alliance was too generous!

“This emperor is sincerely joining the Dao Alliance and wants to fight for the human race. Give me one, give me one, just one!” Black Emperor shouted.

… …

“Time is too short.”

“Yes, some seniors are traveling the world, and their whereabouts are hard to find. We can't find people at all.”

“Otherwise, let's argue and create a new rule.”

At the Dao Alliance meeting, everyone discussed endlessly.

“Ten people, at least five wins.” Jiang Taixu looked at Luo Mo, “Since you agreed, you must have a good solution, right?”

“That's natural, I can win one game.”

The Source Art incarnation said so, and no one else objected, because he had once killed an ancient race Saint King, and his strength was extremely strong.

Jiang Taixu helped Luo Mo calculate, “There are still four games.”

“Of course, it will be hard on you, Senior.”

Jiang Taixu nodded, “I will win, there are three games left.”

“Count me in.” Jiang Li said.

“Emperor Jiang?”

“Didn't Emperor Jiang just become a saint not long ago? The ancient race will definitely send out a Saint King for this battle!”

“Emperor Jiang is young and promising, but let others go.”

“Even if there is a divine ban, but entering the saint for the first time will be a battle against the strong among the Saint Kings, this…”

What is the chance of winning?

Everyone is not optimistic about Jiang Li, after all, he has just become a saint, and the other party will definitely send the best among the Saint Kings.

“I'm the first one, it's decided.” Jiang Li said in an indisputable tone.

Everyone was speechless, so they turned their eyes to Jiang Taixu and Luo Mo.

Come and persuade me.

But unexpectedly, Luo Mo, the Source Heavenly Master, nodded directly, “Okay.”

He just agreed like that.

Jiang Taixu twitched the corner of his mouth, but also nodded, “I believe Jiang Li can win, but there are still two games left.”

These two are the same person, Luo Mo can already kill the Saint King, and Jiang Li naturally has no problem.

Although the people of the Dao Alliance and the human race saints who came to the meeting were puzzled, they saw that the three of them were full of confidence, so they didn't ask any more questions. After all, Jiang Li was a genius with a divine ban, the youngest saint among them.

“Buddha.”

Luo Mo said a name.

Jiang Taixu's eyes lit up, “Is he willing to take action?”

“I will ask, there should be no problem.”

After all, it is his own person.

“That's great.”

“The Buddha is extremely strong, and it is rumored that he is a great power from ancient times.”

“His identity is mysterious, but he can occupy the land of the Four Continents in the Western Desert, so he must not be a kind person.”

“If you can invite the Buddha, you should be able to win a game.”

“As for the last one,” the Source Art incarnation said: “I plan to borrow someone from the Great Peacock King, and one of her subordinates is a Saint King with good strength.”

It doesn't matter whether you borrow someone or not, anyway, you have to win, it's just a comforting excuse.

Earthlings all know the story of Tian Ji's horse race. In such a competition, as long as you win by a large score, you will have face.

In the subtleties, no matter whether you win or lose, there is room for manipulation.

After this incident, the luck of the entire Dao Alliance will be condensed again.

At the same time, the Dao Alliance's men and horses are also dispatched, galloping across the various domains, rushing back and forth between the sects bordering the ancient race's territory, a scene of preparing for war, coordinating and dispatching.

The way of the king is not only used to command one's own power. If the entire Dao Alliance is regarded as a whole, the secret art of the way of the king is also effective.

After this incident, the luck of the entire Dao Alliance will be condensed again.
