He bid farewell to the Langya Dream Realm, and outside, the silhouettes had already scattered, even the elders of various sects were gone. It was clear that they knew their disciples were left in the Langya Dream Realm, and wouldn’t e out within three years.
Li Hao didn’t see Old Man Li, guessing that he had most likely returned to the Sword Abyss.
He thought for a moment, and instead of saying goodbye and engaging in more talk, he found a servant, left a message, and had it delivered.
The message informed them that he was going out for a while, and they needn’t worry.
Afterwards, Li Hao left Dream Mountain, and also left this sect continent of Great Dream Nine Abysses.
He came to the starry sky and skillfully stepped onto the Teleportation Array.
He didn’t choose to go directly to the frontier, but first headed to Heart Inquiry Floating City.
This journey might take three years, and before leaving, Li Hao came to bid farewell to Old Han.
"Going is going, why talk to this old cripple about it."
On the hill outside the Heart Inquiry Tower, Old Han, who was fishing in the sea of clouds, heard Li Hao’s farewell and said lightly without even lifting an eyelid.
Li Hao smiled wryly, being used to the other’s way of speaking, just clasped his hands and said, "Then I will take my leave, and when I return, I’ll cook something delicious for you."
After saying this, he bowed and left.
"Where are you going?"
But Old Han suddenly spoke up, stopping Li Hao.
Li Hao was taken aback and replied honestly, "To the frontier to slay Ancient Demons."
"You?"
Old Han removed his gaze from the sea of clouds, glanced sideways at Li Hao, squinted and said, "They really let such a precious gem like you from your Great Dream Nine Abysses sect take risks on the frontier battlefield?"
"How did you know I was a precious gem?" Li Hao asked curiously.
Old Han snorted coldly, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "Go if you want, anyway, they don’t cherish you, why should I feel heartache, hmph."
Hearing this, and seeing his annoyed wave, Li Hao didn’t get angry, instead, a smile appeared on his lips, and he deeply bowed again to bid farewell.
Whoosh.
Before he could raise his head, he heard the sound of the wind. As he looked up, he saw something dark flying towards him, which he caught with both hands. It was an extremely old, blackened iron piece.
"Don’t lose it, remember to return it when you e back."
Old Han said with a cold snort.
Li Hao only saw the old man’s back, unable to see his expression. He smiled, gripped the iron piece tightly, and then put it away securely, saying, "Certainly!"
Then he bid farewell and left the place.
"Those muddleheads of Great Dream Nine Abysses, are they just fixated on chasing after those lost things..."
Old Han squinted his eyes, gazing at the sea of clouds ahead, finally relaxing his knitted brow, with a hint of weariness and sighing in his eyes.
...
After leaving Heart Inquiry Floating City, Li Hao sat on the Teleportation Array, jumping to another Immortal Domain.
Upon learning there were Ancient Demons at the border, Li Hao had long prepared strategies within the Dream Nine Abyss Sect, going through several Geomantic Charts of the Yan Chu Immortal Dynasty.
Although these Geomantic Charts were not accessible to ordinary families, the Great Dream Nine Abysses was always a Heavenly Sect, with no small amount of connections.
With these Geomantic Charts, Li Hao was quite familiar with the border routes. This time he was heading to the frontier closest to Great Dream Nine Abysses, the Yan Chu Qinghe Border, located in the west of Yan Chu.
Though called the closest, there were still dozens of Immortal Cities in between, each vast and boundless, floating in the void, surrounded by shards of star stone dust.
From Old Man Li, Li Hao learned that Ji Qingxuan and others, including the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower and other Heavenly Sects, were all fighting at this Qinghe Border.
This Qinghe Border stretched for billions of miles, wide and endless.
Legend has it that one of the Nine Immortal Emperors, the Green Emperor, once practiced swordsmanship here, cleaving apart a mountain that worshipped ancient immortals. The shattered rocks fell and gathered in the void into a river, giving it the name Qinghe.
The mountain is gone, but the river remains.
With the teleportation of one Immortal City after another, approaching the last Immortal City before the Qinghe Border, Li Hao was stopped by a guard stationed next to the Teleportation Array.
"Young man, ahead is Qinghe Mo City!"
The middle-aged guard looked seriously at Li Hao, saying, "Wait until you reach True Immortal Realm Fifth Level before ing back, otherwise, when you arrive there, you’ll have to either join the army or be seen as a traitor to the Ten Thousand Clans, with no way back. Think carefully!"
"Hmm."
Li Hao nodded.
He was also familiar with the rules at the border. This place did not restrict True Immortals of Yan Chu from ing, after all, the calamity of Ancient Demons severely injured the vitality of the Yan Chu Royal Family, and relying solely on the army was too costly. Thus, they didn’t stop the chivalrous youths from ing spontaneously to battle the Ancient Demons.
However, aside from those who genuinely came to slay demons, some traitors took advantage to defect to Ancient Demons, or were undercover agents sent by the Ancient Demons, seeking to take the opportunity to relay information.
Therefore, once teleported to the Qinghe Mo City where the frontier is gathered, one must join the army, otherwise they would all be regarded as traitors and executed!
Seeing Li Hao nodding, the middle-aged guard and several guards nearby each showed a trace of solemnity in their eyes. They all saw that Li Hao was merely at True Immortal Realm Third Level, yet resolutely rushing to the battlefield, a rare chivalrous heart indeed.
"Take care!"
The middle-aged guard said solemnly, then took the Immortal Stone Li Hao handed over, threw it into the slot of the Teleportation Array beside him, the Immortal Stone was shattered, and the Teleportation Array was activated.
Li Hao was drawn into it, and when he opened his eyes again, he heard a low, ancient horn sound like those blown by long tusked wild elephants.
The horn sounded right above, deafening, vast, and stirring.
Li Hao looked up, and saw before him a vast and desolate world, mottled black clouds, and behind him were towering ancient walls stained with countless bloodstains, layers upon layers.
Apart from bloodstains on the walls, there seemed to be dried flesh, animal fur, etc., but they had long since accumulated too much to be discernible.
In the distance were densely packed figures walking in the streets, all dressed in battle gear, with a stern demeanor.
