Chapter Seventy-Four: Return to the Dragon Martial Continent

“Lord Immortal Master, those damned spirit beasts have already learned of your fall. They have emerged once more from the Beast Domain, and now the entire cultivation world faces the threat of spirit beasts,” said Han Tianhen, a rogue cultivator who stepped forward. Among those present, Lin Yanghao had the best impression of Han Tianhen. Unlike the others, Han Tianhen had reached the Integration stage entirely through his own efforts, which Lin Yanghao admired most. Lin Yanghao knew well how difficult it was to cultivate without the support of a sect, and to reach such heights by one’s own strength was even more impressive.

“I anticipated this day would come, which is why I left this divine thought here. In the Spirit Realm’s domain lies a small world called the Dragon Martial Continent. I believe you are all familiar with it. Spirit beasts cannot enter the Dragon Martial Continent. It is a small world created by a mighty figure. For now, you should all retreat there. My divine thought will soon dissipate and cannot last much longer.” After these words, the Immortal Master looked deeply at Lin Yanghao, then faded into nothingness.

But what no one knew was that the Immortal Master did not vanish completely, but instead drifted toward Lin Yanghao.

“Since Lord Immortal Master has spoken, we shall depart for the Dragon Martial Continent tomorrow,” Ren Wu declared. “Gather your disciples at once.” With his words, the assembly quickly dispersed.

After the council ended, night had already fallen. Lin Yanghao returned to his room, intending to cultivate, when suddenly his Chaos Ring trembled lightly, startling him.

“Who are you!” Lin Yanghao shouted sternly. He was genuinely perplexed this time—once again, an unfamiliar spiritual presence had appeared within his sea of consciousness. By now, he was nearly numb to such occurrences, having encountered them several times before.

“Hahaha! So, you are my successor? I didn’t expect I’d have the chance to meet you,” came a familiar voice. Wasn’t this the voice of that so-called Immortal Master? And how had he become this man’s successor?

“You probably don’t yet know who I am. But if I tell you my name, you will surely recognize me. I am also known as the Dao Yuan Sacred Emperor!” Seeing Lin Yanghao’s stunned face, the Immortal Master spoke.

Lin Yanghao’s mouth fell open in shock. This Immortal Master was actually the Dao Yuan Sacred Emperor—something Lin Yanghao would never have imagined. That meant the figure before him was the one who had passed on the ‘Chaos Divine Spirit Technique’ and the Chaos Ring to him.
