Watching Wang Lao's receding back, Di Liu could only place his hope on Gu Yuan. This was because almost all the spirit herbs discovered in the Azure World had been used on Wang Lao, and they only served to slow down his injuries.
They were incapable of healing Wang Lao's injuries, so the only hope was on the spirit herbs from another world. He could only hope that Gu Yuan would not disappoint Wang Lao's expectations.
After waiting for Wang Lao's figure to disappear from sight, he let out a sigh and his own figure vanished.
Wang Lao, who was hiding not far away, noticed Di Liu's departure. He dispelled his camouflage and looked towards the direction Di Liu had left with complex emotions.
Little Liu, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that you are of no use to me anymore. Sigh.
Wang Lao let out a faint sigh and left the place.

Myriad Spirits Continent, Human Race Divine Hall!
The Human Race Divine Hall was a divine hall located in the endless void. It had been changing its position in the void for thousands of years. Only special means could allow entry. For everyone else, let alone entering, even finding it was a difficult task.
After all, a palace was hidden in the vast void, flowing with the currents of the void.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia stood by the window, watching the ever-changing void outside. He had no doubt that such void turbulence could tear him to shreds.
Recalling when he first arrived on the Myriad Spirits Continent, he felt it was somewhat dreamlike, to be able to directly enter the Human Race Divine Hall and become the future Human Emperor of the human race.
This future Human Emperor was put forth by the strong individuals within the Human Race Divine Hall, not universally recognized by the entire human race. Xuan Yuan Tian Xia was meant to compete for the position of being the foremost under heaven, and then absorb the power of destiny.
Perhaps he could truly become the Human Emperor of the human race.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia was currently receiving instruction in the Way of the Human Emperor, taught by the eighteen elders of the Human Race Divine Hall.
Ever since he entered the Human Race Divine Hall, Xuan Yuan Tian Xia had begun a very busy life. The elders said he still had much to learn. Only now could he finally breathe a little and look out at the scenery from this window.
However, there was no scenery, only the endless void and the intermittently changing void turbulence.
"Xuan Yuan," a man's voice came from behind him.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia turned his head and saw a refined middle-aged man in a white robe appear before him.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia clasped his fists and bowed respectfully, "Mr. Wu!"
Mr. Wu waved his hand, asking Xuan Yuan Tian Xia to rise, and said with a smile, "Between the two of us here, let's not stand on ceremony."
He walked to Xuan Yuan Tian Xia's side, his gaze falling on the void outside the window. He turned to Xuan Yuan Tian Xia and asked, "How do you feel about being in this Human Race Divine Hall?"
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia sighed, "The pressure is a bit immense! The teachers here are all powerful seniors, and I still have so much knowledge to learn. It's a bit difficult."
Mr. Wu smiled gently, "You don't need to feel too pressured. It's true that you've had to learn a lot recently. Just work harder. After all, it's been a long time since our Human Race Divine Hall has had a successor candidate like you."
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia nodded. He knew his current situation very well. He could only feel fortunate that he was noticed by the greatest human force in this world as soon as he arrived, making it all feel like a dream.
"There's no other way but to have you learn so much. When it's time to compete on the rankings, the factions behind the scenes are not allowed to intervene. Everything will depend on you alone," Mr. Wu said with seriousness in his tone.
This was a treaty signed by all races on the Myriad Spirits Continent. Factions behind the scenes were forbidden from interfering in the ranking competitions in any way; it all depended on the challenger's own strength.
If any faction violated this rule, they would be hunted down by all other races until their entire race was annihilated, leaving none alive!
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia nodded. He had learned of this rule as soon as he arrived. As a prodigy who had fought his way through the human race of the Azure World, he was not afraid of such challenges.
Mr. Wu clasped his hands behind his back, looking at Xuan Yuan Tian Xia. A look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, but the words he spoke were different: "You cannot be complacent. Although you have the best teachers in the entire human race guiding you, prodigies within the human race are constantly emerging."
"For example, the last peak master in the Myriad Sword Sect, with his Blood Killing Sword Intent, has suppressed the younger generation of the entire Myriad Sword Sect, making them unable to lift their heads. This is your formidable opponent. You must not be careless," Mr. Wu advised Xuan Yuan Tian Xia earnestly.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia obediently accepted the teachings.
"And the royal descendants of various countries, they enjoy resources not much less than yours. There are also disciples of some ancient sects, all of whom are formidable figures. They are much stronger than those of my generation. When you face them, you absolutely cannot be too careless, understand?"
Mr. Wu's face was stern, causing Xuan Yuan Tian Xia to quickly clasp his fists and indicate that he understood.
"You must work hard, Xuan Yuan. You are the hope of our Human Race Divine Hall now. No one is more suitable to be the Human Emperor than you! Do you understand?" Mr. Wu's words carried a tone of absolute certainty.
Hearing Mr. Wu's words, Xuan Yuan Tian Xia nodded resolutely, a glint of ambition flashing in his eyes.
"Let's go. It's my turn to teach you now," Mr. Wu said to Xuan Yuan Tian Xia with his back turned, then left with his hands clasped behind his back.
Xuan Yuan Tian Xia watched Mr. Wu's retreating figure, then turned to look at the void outside the window, a strange light flashing in his eyes. He turned and followed Mr. Wu's departing form.
As for that Blood Killing Daoist from the Myriad Sword Sect, Xuan Yuan Tian Xia knew who he was. Wasn't he the one who lost to Gu Yuan during the competition? He was called Yang Tian Kui, and he left quite an impression on him at the time, as he had forced Gu Yuan to reveal some of his strength.
The Blood Killing Daoist Xuan Yuan Tian Xia mentioned was currently undergoing a challenge.
Myriad Sword Sect.
Blood Killing Peak!
A place that was originally deserted was now crowded with many disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect.
Everyone's gaze was filled with reverence as they looked towards the mountaintop.
If one were to ask who had the greatest fame in the Myriad Sword Sect now, it would be Yang Tian Kui, the peak master of Blood Killing Peak.
This person had first descended upon the Myriad Sword Sect, displaying his sword intent to conquer the Sect Master and acquiring the last peak, thus ending an era for the Myriad Sword Sect.
This caused dissatisfaction among a large number of prodigies in the Myriad Sword Sect. The Sect Master had no choice but to issue a statement: whoever successfully challenged Yang Tian Kui would gain the naming rights for the last peak.
Immediately, the entire sect was stirred up. Disciples of the Myriad Sword Sect who had reached the Dharma Aspect Realm began sending challenge letters to Yang Tian Kui, who refused no one.
However, he had one condition: the duel would take place a month later, and he was not to be disturbed before then.
