The headquarters of the Xuan Alliance.
The former imperial palace of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom had now been completely taken over by the Xuan Alliance.
Deep within the imperial palace, at the top of a building.
"Senior, how do you find this place?"
Ye Xuan gazed into the distance at the former imperial palace of the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, which was now the headquarters of the Xuan Alliance.
In the near future... this would be the place where the Xuan Alliance would rise.
"Not bad."
Po Tian Lei Wang looked into the distance. "Within the Haotian Immortal Kingdom, it can be said that the five supreme powers have been brought under control, and their arrangements are quite reasonable. Coupled with the support of numerous first-rate powers, the foundation is very stable."
"Senior, you should be almost recovered now, right?"
Ye Xuan felt the unfathomable Po Tian Lei Wang and asked curiously. After all, during these days, an unknown amount of time had passed within the Linglong Pagoda where he was located.
"Mmm."
"I am almost fully recovered, at the peak of the ninth-rank Immortal Lord, one step away from the ultimate peak."
Po Tian Lei Wang was clearly in a good mood. He then looked towards the direction of the Shenxuan Immortal Kingdom. "Moreover, thanks to you, with so many opportunities, I believe I will be able to break through to the Immortal Lord realm before long!"
"Oh."
"That is indeed something worth celebrating. However... perhaps you might break through to the Immortal Lord realm sooner than expected."
Ye Xuan smiled mysteriously, then flipped his right hand, and a Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit appeared. However, this Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit was clearly of a higher grade than before.
A 4-million-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit!
That's right, this was the fruit produced after the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass's age increased to 4 million years. There were still ten fruits in total, and this was the first one.
"Alliance Leader, your Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass... is 4 million years old!?"
Po Tian Lei Wang licked his lips. He was the second person, besides Ye Xuan, to know about the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Grass. It could be seen how much Ye Xuan trusted Po Tian Lei Wang, and naturally, he had even greater expectations for him.
After all, for a long time to come, he would need Po Tian Lei Wang to guard the Xuan Alliance. This was also why he had repeatedly bestowed such heaven-defying opportunities upon him.
"Alliance Leader's methods are truly... irresistible!"
"However, I accept this favor!"
Po Tian Lei Wang did not act coy. He already owed Ye Xuan a great debt, and this one more or less wouldn't make a difference.
This was also why Po Tian Lei Wang accepted so readily. When you owe a lot of debts, you don't fear owing more.
"If, one day, I manage to avenge myself, I will then guard the Xuan Alliance for you."
Upon hearing Po Tian Lei Wang's words, Ye Xuan's lips curved. "Then I thank you in advance, senior."
"However, speaking of which, I haven't seen the Immortal Lord realm before."
Ye Xuan sighed with emotion, then looked at Po Tian Lei Wang expectantly.
Po Tian Lei Wang smiled gently and said nothing. Instead, he consumed the 4-million-year-old Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit. Instantly, a surging energy filled his entire body.
Ye Xuan then brought Po Tian Lei Wang and flickered, arriving at the fifth level of the Linglong Pagoda.
The energy here was extremely dense. There was no better place for breaking through!
Buzz~
After consuming the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit, it wasn't long before Po Tian Lei Wang's aura began to change. He had completely recovered to the peak of the ninth-rank Immortal Lord, and this realm, if known to the outside world, would surely cause immense shockwaves.
One must know!
With such strength, one could become the ruler of a fifth-rank Immortal Kingdom, and even be close to becoming a sixth-rank Immortal Kingdom.
"Heh heh, as expected..."
"Senior, are you about to attempt to break through to the Immortal Lord realm? Tsk tsk~~"
Ye Xuan said with deep emotion. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he also began to cultivate and absorb energy using top-grade immortal crystals.
On the fifth level of the Linglong Pagoda, time flew by.
One day!
Three days! Five days!!
By the sixth day, Ye Xuan had used the Nine-Leaf Sacred Spirit Fruit and rapidly advanced to the sixth-rank Immortal Lord.
Boom~~
Just as Ye Xuan was about to consolidate his realm, he heard the sound of surging energy from beside him. The center of the energy was none other than Po Tian Lei Wang, who had been silent for many days.
At this moment, an incredibly terrifying vortex of energy had formed above Po Tian Lei Wang. Clearly, an aura far surpassing the Immortal Lord realm was erupting.
The Immortal Lord realm!
That's right, at this moment, Po Tian Lei Wang had successfully entered the Immortal Lord realm, a realm that countless powerful individuals yearned for. To possess the Immortal Lord realm was also the minimum requirement to become a sixth-rank Immortal Kingdom.
The Shenxuan Immortal Kingdom was, as far as Ye Xuan knew, the only sixth-rank Immortal Kingdom. After all, in the face of such existences, even the mighty Haotian Immortal Kingdom was like an ant, capable of being destroyed with a flip of a hand!
"Hoo~"
Having successfully broken through, Po Tian Lei Wang let out a deep breath. He then opened his eyes, and an uncontrollable surge of joy and excitement appeared on his face. "The Immortal Lord realm!"
"So this is the Immortal Lord realm. I never expected to reach it so quickly!!"
"Alliance Leader, thank you so much for this time."
Po Tian Lei Wang looked at Ye Xuan and said sincerely.
"Heh heh, we are family, no need for formalities."
"However... senior, may I have a look at how strong the Immortal Lord realm is?"
With an Immortal Lord realm expert before him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a desire to spar.
As the words fell, Ye Xuan's sixth-rank Immortal Lord aura was unleashed entirely. "Invincible Spear Domain · Activate!"
Holding the God-Slaying Thunder Spear, lightning surged around him. His Divine Thunder bloodline was pushed to its extreme, and the power of space and time also attached itself to it. "God-Slaying Spear Art · Ten Thousand Spears Return to One!"
Chii~
With a slash that tore through the air, Ye Xuan unleashed his full power and thrust his spear towards the Immortal Lord realm Po Tian Lei Wang. This move even made Po Tian Lei Wang gasp.
"Such powerful an attack!"
Despite saying so, Po Tian Lei Wang still extended a single finger and clashed directly.
Terrifying energy erupted outwards. Seeing Po Tian Lei Wang's action, Ye Xuan increased the force in his hand several more times, however... Po Tian Lei Wang remained as calm as ever.
Then, Po Tian Lei Wang flicked his finger.
With a bang~
Ye Xuan was sent flying back dozens of feet, along with his spear. The God-Slaying Thunder Spear was stunned. It seemed this Po Tian Lei Wang was no ordinary Immortal Lord realm expert.
"Sixth-rank Immortal Lord!"
"I truly didn't expect the Alliance Leader to reach this realm so quickly."
Po Tian Lei Wang had to admit he was somewhat shocked. Such talent was far superior to his own in the past.
If he had possessed such talent back then, how could that Shenxuan Emperor have injured him!
"Heh heh, even though you are a sixth-rank Immortal Lord, your ultimate combat power just now could definitely make you invincible below the ninth-rank Immortal Lord!"
"As for contending with a ninth-rank Immortal Lord, it's still a bit of a stretch~"
Po Tian Lei Wang commented. This also illustrated the vast gap between the Immortal Lord realm and the ninth-rank Immortal Lord.
However, Po Tian Lei Wang's eyes then flashed with brilliance. "If the Alliance Leader continues operating like this, in the future, he might be able to possess Immortal Lord-level combat power upon reaching the ninth-rank Immortal Lord."
In this regard, Po Tian Lei Wang could not help but feel envious. If Ye Xuan knew this, he would surely be quite pleased.
Having entered the Immortal Lord realm, Po Tian Lei Wang looked towards the Shenxuan Immortal Kingdom. "I will go to the Shenxuan Immortal Kingdom for a trip. After I return, I will temporarily guard the Xuan Alliance for you."
"Is that so?"
Upon hearing Po Tian Lei Wang's words, Ye Xuan's eyes narrowed. He then flipped his right hand. "This is a Heaven-grade Immortal Breaking Pill. Its effect can allow a peak ninth-rank Immortal Lord-level expert to advance one rank without any side effects. You might find this useful on your trip to the Shenxuan Immortal Kingdom."
