166 Path to Heaven, Eighth Successive Disciple!

“The Path to Heaven has descended.”

Looking at the ancient Path to Heaven that seemed to hang between heaven and earth, all the cultivators present revealed incomparably intense excitement.

Their eyes were filled with endless anticipation and yearning.

The Path to Heaven that appeared once every thousand years was the battlefield of the overwhelming prodigies of the world. It also symbolized supreme opportunities and fortune. If one could open even just a Heavenly Gate, one would receive a reward from the heavens.

If one with supreme talent could open all five Heavenly Gates and walk to the end of the Path to Heaven, one would then receive blessings from the heavens and be bestowed with shocking great fortune.

At that step, one would have the qualifications to become a Great Emperor!

Of course, that level was not something they could peep at or imagine. The creatures gathered in the Heishui Ancient City had never thought of achieving that.

After all, Jiuzhou was the most remote and weakest place in the Green Heaven Region. It was already a great fortune to have Yan Huihuang, who had the potential to become a Sage.

As for someone in Jiuzhou having the potential to knock open all five Heavenly Gates and thus have the potential to become a Great Emperor, it was simply impossible. Such a person would not appear in Jiuzhou at all.

Therefore, with the arrival of the Path to Heaven, everyone present was looking forward to Yan Huihuang’s performance. If the rumors were true, she would be able to knock open three Heavenly Gates.

Even by doing that, she would be the pride of the Great World of Divine Desolation!

The others had no chance at all.

Thinking of this, everyone was secretly looking forward to Yan Huihuang’s appearance and witnessing her peerless appearance in opening the Heavenly Gates.

…

“The Path to Heaven has finally arrived. Emissary Dongfang promised me that he would walk to the end of the Path to Heaven and obtain the final Sky-mending Divine Water, which is a symbol of the potential of the Great Emperor. In comparison, Yan Huihuang is like a firefly compared to the bright moon.”

Li Heishui clenched his fists. Boundless anticipation filled the depths of his eyes.

“City Lord, will you go to the Path to Heaven?”

He was silent for a while before asking Lin Wudao softly.

Hearing this, Lin Wudao smiled.

“This time, with my Brother Dongfang around, I won’t join in the fun.”

“Uh, that’s really a pity.”

“We were prepared to witness your unparalleled elegance, City Lord.”

Yin Siming and Li Heishui said regretfully.

Lin Wudao didn’t say anything more. He just stared at the Path to Heaven in the sky, a hint of divine light in his eyes.

Buzz!

It was also at this moment that the Book of All Beings in the system space suddenly trembled violently.

Soon after, a message appeared.

“Emissary Dongfang, the Path to Heaven has arrived. Does the deal before still count?”

Li Chengyin?

Looking at the message, Lin Wudao realized he had almost forgotten about the matter.

“Yes, of course. Since I’ve promised you, I’ll definitely fulfill your wish. You will be the Li family’s clan leader. Just wait patiently.”

After saying that, he cut off his connection with Li Chengyin.

“I suddenly gained some insight and need to cultivate. Don’t disturb me.”

Hmm? Cultivating at this time?

Be it Yin Siming or Li Heishui, they both revealed puzzled expressions.

However, they didn’t dare to ask too much about Lin Wudao’s actions.

They simply continued to look at the Path to Heaven in the distance.

Whoosh!

While they weren’t paying attention, Lin Wudao took a step forward and disappeared. After a moment, he returned and sat cross-legged on the ground.

He looked like he was immersed in cultivation.

However, this was only his doppelganger. His original body had already transformed into Dongfang Bubai and arrived at the Li family.

…

Shanhai Courtyard.

Li Chengyin and Li Qingshan were anxiously waiting, their hearts filled with worry.

At this moment, all the young masters and clansmen of the Li family had already gone to observe the Path to Heaven. Only they remained in the Li family.

They were waiting for Dongfang Bubai’s arrival.

“Chengyin, that Emissary Dongfang… Will he really come and help you?”

After a long silence, Li Qingshan finally couldn’t help but ask.

Hearing this, Li Chengyin nodded heavily.

“He will, Grandpa. I have already contacted Emissary Dongfang. He said that he will arrive soon and I just need to wait patiently.”

“Sigh, I hope so.”

Li Qingshan looked worried.

“Our Li family is no longer what it used to be. Although we have the name of a hidden aristocratic family, we aren’t that strong anymore. If it weren’t for the City of Sin’s City Lord Lin Wudao, our Li family would have been gobbled up by the three big aristocratic families. To think our five-thousand-year inheritance has fallen to such a state.”

He looked dejected.

In just one or two days, the Li family suffered a huge blow. Their foundation of more than 5,000 years was lost in a jiffy.

Li Qingshan was not the only one who felt endless sorrow. The entire Li family felt the same.

Now, they no longer had the ambition to fight for power with other families. At this point, they only wanted to keep their lives.

This world had always been an arena for the strong. The weak were destined to be trampled under their feet.

“Chengyin, do you think we can invite Dongfang Bubai to help our Li family get rid of the City…”

“Grandpa, be careful with your words. It’s already a great fortune that our Li family is able to survive. Although we’re affiliated with the City of Sin, it’s still the way to protect ourselves. We can’t have second thoughts. Otherwise, our entire family will be annihilated.”

Li Chengyin interrupted anxiously. He did not dare to have such thoughts.

“Don’t worry, I am just casually saying it. I will not be so stupid.”

Li Qingshan sighed.

Soon after, he no longer spoke.

Whoosh!

At this moment, a strange figure appeared in front of them.

“Emissary Dongfang?”

Li Chengyin and Li Qingshan bowed.

They were extremely respectful.

After all, their futures were all in Dongfang Bubai’s hands.

“I came here to fulfill your wish. The Path to Heaven has arrived. Later, I will participate in it with your identity. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the position of the clan leader.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Wudao immediately used the Great Disguise Technique to change Li Chengyin’s figure and appearance.

Then, he disguised himself as Li Chengyin.

Seeing this miraculous method, both Li Qingshan and Li Chengyin were greatly impressed.

“I’ll leave everything to Emissary Dongfang.”

“Alright,” Lin Wudao replied indifferently. Then, he strode out of the Li family under the gazes of the two.

…

A moment later, when Lin Wudao arrived at the square in the center of the Heishui Ancient City, he saw the geniuses of the major factions watching from the side. They were all rubbing their fists and preparing to show off their skills on the Path to Heaven.

Lin Wudao quickly swept his gaze over them and waited.

“The Path to Heaven has already appeared. Since no one is willing to show it, then let me offer a modest spur.”

Suddenly, a loud and clear voice resounded in all directions.

Thump!

As soon as those words were said, a young man with a strong build and a strong aura suddenly descended from the sky under everyone’s gaze.

“Xiong Tuo, a prodigy of the True Dragon Academy.”

A wave of restlessness came from the crowd.

Similarly, in the distance, Li Qingcheng, who also belonged to the True Dragon Academy, also revealed an expression of anticipation when she saw Xiong Tuo.

“Is Xiong Tuo very strong?” Li Heishui asked curiously.

“Of course. Senior Brother Xiong Tuo is the 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy. Not only is he born with great strength, but he also cultivates the Heavenly Dragon Ancient Scripture created by a human ancestor. His combat strength is extremely powerful. He has few opponents in the same realm. According to our leader, Xiong Tuo has the potential to become a King.”

Li Qingcheng’s face was full of admiration.

Potential to become a King?

Li Heishui was quite surprised.

“So, he can open the first gate?”

“Not necessarily. Although the first Heavenly Gate is the weakest, it’s not something that ordinary people can open. It tests the cultivator’s perseverance and Dao heart. Only those with strong willpower and a firm Dao heart are worthy of the title of King. This is not just a casual remark.”

Yin Siming laughed.

Regarding this, Li Heishui also agreed.

“Strong strength doesn’t necessarily mean strong willpower and Dao heart. I wonder how many levels this 8th successive disciple of the True Dragon Academy can cross.”

Everyone’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

Boom!

Just as they were discussing, Xiong Tuo’s figure flashed and stepped onto the first Dao step.
