Chapter 1934 Chapter 518: Old Friend Returns, Time Dao at Its Peak (2)
“So you’re saying a True King will soon descend to rule over the various factions?”
The woman whose gaze was as cold as frost spoke solemnly, “During this period, the Ancient Demons have been attacking, making even the domain of the Heavenly Eye Clan unsafe. Last time when we ventured out, we encountered a group of scouting Ancient Demons, and even the scouts possessed the power of the Immortal Monarch Realm. If it weren’t for the timely intervention of the Heavenly Eye Clan patrol, we would’ve been unable to return.”
“I’ve heard that some smaller clans like ours, unable to find strong clans to rely on, have already been wiped out by the Ancient Demons,” said another person inside the hall.
Upon hearing this, the hall fell into silence. Since the destruction of the Eastern Domain, the news spread, and the Southern Domain has been uneasy for centuries. Everyone feels insecure; even though they’re affiliated with the Heavenly Eye Clan, they live cautiously, unsure of when disaster and calamity will strike. There’s no argument against the Heavenly Eye Clan’s increasing demands for tributes, fearing they might be kicked out of the clan domain due to displeasure.
“Qianqian, Sword Master, given the current crisis, you two are the most likely to advance to Immortal King. But now, we can only choose one person to concentrate all cultivation resources on.”
At this moment, the elder above the hall spoke gravely, “As long as an Immortal King is born, we won’t need to pay tributes to the Heavenly Eye Clan. With power to protect ourselves in the True Realm, even if it’s just the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm, it would save a large amount of cultivation resources to train the second one.”
Upon hearing his words, everyone looked at the snow-skirted woman with a cold face and the middle-aged man with a massive sword and fierce eyes.
Currently, both are at the Third Level of Immortal Monarch Realm within the clan, with exceptional talents, and have received some personal opportunities, but are struggling without cultivation resources.
Upon hearing this, both fell silent as well.
“Why don’t we let the two of them have a fair duel, and the winner will assume this responsibility?” Beside them, an elder in green attire spoke during the silence, noting “responsibility” instead of “qualification.”
Receiving the clan’s full support means, aside from rapid enhancement in cultivation, also carrying the burden of the entire clan.
The woman with a cold face remained silent for a moment and said, “I’ll leave this matter to the Sword Master; he is a senior who taught me much about Sword Dao before.”
The middle-aged man with the giant sword shook his head, “Though I once led you and taught you some insightful experiences, your progress is evident to everyone; I think you are more suited.”
Upon seeing both politely decline, the elder above couldn’t help but sigh quietly. If this were another clan, they’d fight to the death for a good opportunity like this. But in the Dayu Clan… such unity is a positive thing, yet it made him, the clan leader, feel even more bittersweet and lonely. If he were stronger, perhaps, maybe…
“If a responsibility must be taken, I volunteer!”
At this moment, a voice resounded within the hall.
Everyone followed the voice and looked. The speaker was a handsome and tall young man, with sharp eyes full of an imposing and cool aura.
“Li Ping’an, you’re only at the Second Level of Immortal Monarch Realm, still far from Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm.”
Beside him, a graceful woman shook her head slightly.
Li Ping’an’s gaze showed no fear towards the slightly doubtful expressions of others; he said earnestly, “Everyone, although I’m only at the Second Level of Immortal Monarch Realm, do not forget that I received an opportunity before — inheriting the legacy of an Immortal King’s remnant soul. If I have cultivation resources, upon reaching the Perfect Immortal Monarch Realm, I can inherit the complete legacy of that remnant soul, having the best chance to ascend to Immortal King!”
“Besides, everyone knows my cultivation speed. Among those present, in terms of soul life, you are all my seniors, but if we were of the same soul life, I consider myself as good as anyone, even able to compete with the Heavenly Eye Clan’s prodigies!”
His words were akin to nails pinning the hall into dead silence.
Everyone remained silent; in terms of talent, Li Ping’an indeed was not lacking. However, Ren Qianqian and Sword Master also had their opportunities, and their realm was one level higher.
The Dayu Clan can no longer wait; someone must urgently stand up to bear the responsibility.
“I’m only one level behind, and if resources are concentrated, I believe I can quickly catch up,” Li Ping’an said again as he saw everyone pondering.
Above the hall, the elder was silent for a moment before looking at Sword Master and Ren Qianqian, “What do you two think?”
Both exchanged glances, their eyes landing on Li Ping’an.
Looking at this energetic young man, another silhouette inadvertently emerged in their minds.
The other was his own brother… perhaps he really might be able to bear the weight of the whole clan like that person?
At the same time, within the domain of the Heavenly Eye Clan, a figure suddenly broke through the domain barrier and descended here.
The barrier’s protection triggered an alert, startling the Heavenly Eye Clan leader. He opened his eyes and hastily soared into the sky, noticing the divine figure hovering at the center of the Heavenly Eye Clan territory.
“You…”
The clan leader’s expression changed as he suddenly recognized the face of the person; his previously questioning words instantly turned into shock as he stammered, “Hao, Heavenly King Haotian?!”
Li Hao’s projection descended, sweeping his gaze as his divine sense instantly covered the entire territory of the Heavenly Eye Clan, discovering that the elder before him was among the strongest within the clan, surprisingly at the Ninth Level of Immortal King Realm.
“Is there a Dayu Clan that has submitted to you here?”
Li Hao asked.
The Heavenly Eye Clan leader initially thought Li Hao came to recruit soldiers from their clan. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but freeze—Dayu Clan? Memories of a small clan surfaced in his mind, but that was just a minor clan under the Heavenly Eye Clan, insignificant.
His face paled dramatically, trembling, “No, no mistake, could it be they offended Your Majesty the True King? I’ll have them annihilated immediately!”
Li Hao’s face darkened, his sharp gaze sweeping across, instantly making the Heavenly Eye Clan leader realize he had spoken incorrectly or misunderstood the meaning. As he was dazed, Li Hao, being disinclined to waste words, extended his divine sense rapidly, stretching from the Heavenly Eye Clan’s territory into the entire domain, soon detecting other clan territories at the outer edge of the Heavenly Eye Clan’s territory.
