Chapter 2052: Chapter 2052: A Perfect Match
“Confidence? That’s hard to say!”
Hearing Fang Bai’s inquiry, Hong Tongtian smiled bitterly and said, “I fought Li Xianfeng sixty years ago. Back then, although our cultivation levels were similar, her combat strength slightly surpassed mine, and she successfully beca the City Lord. Now, sixty years later, our cultivation levels are still the sa. If I were to confront her again, the outco is hard to predict! I can only give it my all!”
Hong Tongtian said as he couldn’t help but sigh.
If he fails again in this competition for City Lord, he might never have another chance.
Because once Li Xianfeng becos City Lord again, she will undoubtedly suppress the Heaven-Reaching Sect with all her might in the next sixty years.
It’s truly a case where falling behind step by step ans falling behind continually. The suppressed Heaven-Reaching Sect might be worse off than now in sixty years, struggling to compete with other Celestials.
Ziyi, standing by his side, noticed her master’s sowhat dejected spirit and couldn’t help but say, “Master, don’t be discouraged! Your mana is powerful, and your cultivation is profound. You will surely defeat Li Xianfeng!”
Hong Tongtian, encouraged, laughed heartily and said loudly, “Ziyi is right. Before the battle, how can I boost others’ morale while diminishing my own? In this battle with Li Xianfeng, I will give it my all!”
Fang Bai pondered and said, “Earlier, that Li Muyu from the Immortal Elephant Sect said, in three days, if we don’t hand over…”
Hong Tongtian interrupted before he finished, seriously saying, “Elder Fang, no need to worry about that! In today’s Myriad Images City, everyone knows that the Immortal Elephant Sect and the City Lord Mansion are allies. Even without Elder Fang, the Immortal Elephant Sect would still treat our Heaven-Reaching Sect as an enemy; it just hasn’t been made clear before now.”
Saying this, he stood up and said, “In a month, the competition for the City Lord position will start. By then, I will face not only Li Xianfeng but also so other participating immortals. In this month, I plan to go into seclusion and cultivate, gather my strength, and prepare for the battle. Ziyi, take Elder Fang to rest.”
Just after Fang Bai agreed to beco an Honorary Elder of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, Hong Tongtian had his disciple arrange accommodations for him, with treatnt on par with other Elders.
“Sect Master, I have a set of Earth Immortal Rank Immortal Technique Secrets here that I want to discuss with you. Would you have so ti?”
Fang Bai suddenly said when he saw Hong Tongtian preparing to leave.
Hearing “Earth Immortal Rank Immortal Technique Secrets,” Hong Tongtian was taken aback, then reacted, breathing a little heavily, and excitedly said, “Earth Immortal Rank Immortal Technique Secrets? Is it true?”
In the Immortal Realm, above the Human Immortal Realm is the Earth Immortal, and the strength of an Earth Immortal Realm expert has an overwhelming advantage over a Human Immortal Realm expert.
Hong Tongtian does not lack cultivation resources; what he lacks is high-rank immortal technique secrets for cultivation, which is why his strength progresses slowly, and he has been unable to break through in cultivation level.
If he could comprehend an Earth Immortal Rank immortal technique, Hong Tongtian believed that even if he couldn’t achieve a breakthrough in the next month, his combat strength would certainly improve significantly, giving him a better chance to defeat the City Lord Li Xianfeng.
However, Earth Immortal Rank immortal technique secrets are valued more than life in the eyes of Human Immortal Realm experts. Would Fang Bai really be willing to share it with him?
Fang Bai seed to see the doubt in Hong Tongtian’s heart and smiled, “I have slain several disciples of the Immortal Elephant Sect and even killed a disciple under Bloody Hand True Person. The experts of these two sects now undoubtedly have their eyes on , wanting to kill as soon as possible…”
As Hong Tongtian listened, he nodded, knowing that Fang Bai was right.
Currently, not only the Immortal Elephant Sect and Bloody Hand True Person want to kill Fang Bai, but the City Lord Mansion, allied with the Immortal Elephant Sect, probably won’t spare him either.
One could say that Fang Bai is surrounded by enemies on all sides, making it not easy for him to leave Myriad Images City safely.
Thinking of this, Hong Tongtian seed to suddenly realize sothing.
Fang Bai, despite having a high-rank cultivation thod, lacks the strength to protect himself.
By sharing it with him, once his strength increased, there’s hope to defeat the current City Lord Li Xianfeng and beco the new City Lord.
Once he becos City Lord, all the Celestials in Myriad Images City will comply, and by then, the Heaven-Reaching Sect will be able to rally massive support, significantly increasing its overall strength.
And as an Honorary Elder of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, Fang Bai will also be much safer at that ti.
It’s a win-win situation, and were it himself, he would do the sa.
“Very well, if Elder Fang can assist in seizing the City Lord position, I will ensure Elder Fang’s personal safety!”
Hong Tongtian patted his chest, making a promise to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai and Hong Tongtian quickly reached an agreent and imdiately both entered a secret room in the Heaven-Reaching Sect, isolated from the outside.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Three days earlier, the Steward of Immortal Elephant Sect, Li Muyu, had declared that the Heaven-Reaching Sect should hand over Fang Bai within three days, but three days later, there was no movent from the Immortal Elephant Sect, which allowed the thousand disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, fully prepared, to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, so observant immortals in Myriad Images City noticed that several disciples of the Immortal Elephant Sect, far from thousands of miles away, were gathering in Myriad Images City, eting with the immortals of the City Lord Mansion.
At the sa ti, the immortals in Bloody Hand True Person’s Immortal Mansion frequently acted against the Heaven-Reaching Sect with surveillance.
In the vast Myriad Images City, an undercurrent surged, as if a storm were brewing.
And the Heaven-Reaching Sect was at the center of this storm.
“How quickly ti flies, another cycle of sixty years!”
“Indeed, it’s another term for the rotation of the City Lord of Myriad Images City!”
“I wonder how many immortals will participate in this term’s City Lord rotation?”
“Other immortals participating is just to join in the fun! The City Lord for this term will definitely be between the current City Lord Li Xianfeng and the Heaven-Reaching Sect Master Hong Tongtian!”
“I think City Lord Li has a greater chance of re-election!”
“Sect Master Hong, enduring patiently, may very well pull City Lord Li down from her horse!”
“Let’s wait and see!”
…
As the month approached and the competition for the City Lord position was about to begin, immortals in Myriad Images City began to anticipate, eagerly speculating on who would claim the City Lord title this ti.
Just as millions of immortals in Myriad Images City were eagerly anticipating, in a secret room of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, suddenly, layers of immortal might and a terrifying aura emanated from Hong Tongtian, spreading fiercely all around.
Fortunately, this layered immortal might and terrifying aura were blocked by a Great Cauldron summoned by Fang Bai in the secret room, preventing any leakage.
Thus, the ten Heaven-Reaching Sect disciples guarding the area outside the secret room did not know that just now, their Sect Master had broken through and advanced to the cultivation level of an eighth-rank Human Immortal Realm.
After another three days, Hong Tongtian in the secret room thoroughly solidified his realm, then ca out of the cultivation state, abruptly opening his eyes.
“Thank you, Elder Fang!”
After advancing in rank, Hong Tongtian’s eyes showed joy, knowing that his advancent was thanks to the Earth Immortal Rank Immortal Technique Secrets passed down by Fang Bai, and he clasped his fists and gave a deep bow to Fang Bai as a sign of gratitude.
