The battle between Long Ao and Long Chen instantly spread throughout the Nine Prefectures.
Although Long Ao said that the battle was a draw, everyone knew that Long Ao won the battle.
No one would ask if Long Chen had limited his cultivation. Everyone only cared about the result. Therefore, the news of Long Ao defeating Long Chen caused a huge commotion in the Nine Prefectures.
Under normal circumstances, Long Ao could replace Long Chen and become the 100th on the Dragon Ranking after killing Long Chen.
However, just as Long Ao thought, he did not defeat Long Chen openly. If Long Chen did not limit his cultivation, would he still be able to defeat Long Chen?
Because of this, the Dragon Ranking did not recognize Long Ao and still recognized Long Chen as the 100th.
Although Long Ao did not successfully enter the Dragon Ranking, in everyone's eyes, he had successfully made a comeback. After this battle, Long Ao's reputation in the Nine Prefectures rose again.
Long Ao Peak, Long Family's main hall:
Long Ao's triumphant return was the best news for the Long Family because no one thought that Long Ao would win this battle. However, what was the result?
"Ao 'er, you defeated Long Chen this time. It seems that the Rank 3 Long Family will not let this matter rest."
Long Ao nodded. How could he not know about his grandfather's worries? He said, "Grandfather, I did not defeat Long Chen in this battle. If he did not forcefully suppress his cultivation, I would not have been able to withstand ten moves. This person is still quite a character. He will definitely become a great person in the future."
Long Haoshi seemed to be a little surprised, because in such a long time, Long Ao seemed to have never praised a person so highly.
"Grandfather, as for the Rank 3 Long Family, as you said, they will not let this matter rest. Therefore, the family must hide and develop our strength as much as possible."
"I understand. After this battle with Long Chen, are you going to the Nine Prefectures Mystery Realm?"
Long Ao nodded. He did not hide anything from his grandfather and said, "The Mystery Land of the Nine States is my opportunity. So no matter what happens, I have to go to the Nine Serenities Mystery Land."
Long Ao knew very well that the Nine Continents Mystery Realm was an opportunity for him, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
According to Duan He, the Nine Prefectures Mystery Territory was an extremely mysterious place in the Nine Prefectures. It was a holy land for cultivators to cultivate. As long as one was lucky, any cultivator who entered would have a breakthrough in their cultivation once they came out.
According to the ratio, ninety percent of the people who entered would be able to come out alive. The probability of this was very high.
Long Ao's cultivation had already reached the Peak Earthly Venerable Rank. He was only one step away from officially breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable Rank.
But this seemingly simple step was actually extremely difficult. According to Long Fu, breaking through to the Empyrean level required an astronomical amount of strength.
Spirit Realm of the Nine States, in the southern region, there was an extremely remote valley.
Inside the valley, there were dozens of masters from the four great influences standing guard. It was impossible to see that once someone entered the valley, they would suffer the fiercest attacks.
The four great influences of the Nine States Spirit Realm, the Eastern Imperial City, the Western Third Grade Long Family, the Southern Nether Mansion, and the Northern Ethereal Palace, would each send five people to cultivate in the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land every year.
The Nine Prefectures Mystery Land would automatically open once every year. Only martial artists below the World King level could enter. In other words, Long Chen had no chance of entering.
Long Ao did not appear in the valley. Instead, he used Duan Tianfeng to quietly enter. Even the others did not suspect anything. Under normal circumstances, with Duan Tianfeng's talent and strength, he simply did not have the qualifications to enter the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land to cultivate. But, who told him to have a good father?
Duan Tianfeng was the son of the Imperial City's City Lord. Everyone knew that the Imperial City's City Lord, Duan He, doted on his youngest son the most, to the point that he would do anything for him. A spot to enter the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land was just child's play.
Duan Tianfeng's reputation was extremely bad. Not to mention the other three great influences, even the other four great influences of the Imperial City were unwilling to approach Duan Tianfeng. It was as if they were afraid of being infected.
Duan Tianfeng simply ignored everyone. At this moment, he was simply Long Ao.
The twenty people of the four great influences quietly stood in the valley. At this time, there was a rumbling sound and a milky white ball of light appeared on the cave walls.
The Nine Prefectures Mystery Land had opened.
The twenty people were overjoyed and entered one by one. Long Ao used the Dragon Seal Space to follow the corpse slave into the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land. From start to finish, no one noticed anything wrong with Duan Tianfeng.
As soon as Long Ao stepped into the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land, he chose to leave by himself. No matter what, if he was discovered by others, it would be very troublesome. After all, it was easy to enter but difficult to leave.
In the end, the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land was an independent space. There were mountains, rivers, and trees. The sun hung high in the sky and white clouds bloomed.
After entering the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land, Long Ao instantly understood why the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land was a holy land for cultivation. The World Energy here was ten times more than outside. What kind of concept was this?
Long Ao clearly knew that cultivating here for a month was equivalent to cultivating outside for a month. This kind of cultivation speed was simply too frightening.
After entering the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land, Long Ao didn't waste any time. According to Duan He, the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land could only be opened for a month every year. If they couldn't leave, the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land would launch an attack that no one could resist.
After finding an extremely secluded place, Long Ao immediately entered a state of cultivation. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Long Ao could clearly sense that his cultivation was about to break through. It was as if there was only a piece of paper left. As long as he pierced through it, he would be able to break through to the Empyrean realm.
At this moment, Long Ao was completely depressed. According to Long Fu, if he wanted to break through to the Empyrean realm at the fastest speed, he would need an enormous amount of power.
As long as he could kill a World King and seize their soul to refine their power, he could use the World King's soul to break through to the Empyrean realm.
In the Dragon Seal Space.
"Long Fu, could it be that my Desolate Saint Physique can only absorb power to break through, but not World Energy?"
The World Energy in the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land was too abundant. It was ten times more than the outside world. If he could use the World Energy to break through, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.
"Master, this is completely possible. It's just that it's difficult to break through by absorbing the World Energy. However, the World Energy here is very abundant. One month is enough for you to break through to the Empyrean realm."
He was delighted. This time, he entered the Nine Prefectures Mystery Land to break through to the Empyrean realm. Now that he heard that Long Fu could help him break through to the Empyrean realm in a month, how could Long Ao not be happy?
"Master, I've been sensing for the past three days. I found something very wrong."
