At the highest point, which was also the Immortal King Pan's cave, several Immortal Kings were present. They were very silent and didn't say much. The chaotic energy there was so thick that it swallowed their figures.
On the jade table in front of them were the real immortal peaches.
Chapter 626 Mission Completed
"Aren't you all going to eat?" Lin Qing picked up a peach and started eating it.
The other Immortal Kings ignored Lin Qing. Although Pan Wang had told them about Lin Qing's identity, he had not informed them of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor.
Pan Wang and they have never gotten along.
"The successor of the ancestral spirit?" Just then, a Celestial King spoke, his words devoid of any emotion, his entire being ancient and shrouded in chaos.
He was like a stone statue; though he spoke, he remained completely still and without any emotion.
The others were no different, as if they stood millions of years ago, receiving the worship of the world and enjoying the fragrance of countless ages.
"Immortal King Ao Sheng, do you know who you are talking to?" Lin Qing said calmly.
Ao Sheng's tone became more serious: "How dare you, do you want to fight me?" Instantly, the surrounding space rippled.
Upon seeing this, Pan Wang frowned slightly, waved his hand, and cast a rune to isolate the area.
"Do you want to fight me?" Lin Qing still had that nonchalant look on his face.
"Dragon King, do you know that even Immortal Kings are divided into different ranks?" Immortal King Ao Sheng said calmly.
"If you want a fight, then take a trip through the starry sky?" Lin Qing was too lazy to waste words with this guy.
"Then let's fight." Immortal King Ao Sheng stood up and looked at Lin Qing.
"Give me some face and don't fight on my turf." At the same time, Pan Wang also transmitted his voice to Lin Qing: "Dragon King, no matter what, spare his life. The great turmoil needs him."
On this day, deep within the universe, a continuous roar and explosion echoed, accompanied by flashes of divine light.
Afterwards, Lin Qing returned and took Xiao Xue back to the lower realm, while Immortal King Ao Sheng also returned unharmed and went into seclusion in his cave.
Without the instigation of Immortal King Ao Sheng, and with the protection of Lin Qing and King Pan, no other Immortal Kings went to cause trouble for Shi Hao.
Finally, the three leaders of the forbidden zone obtained a drop of essence blood from Pan Wang, which opened a secret place, allowing Shi Hao to enter.
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and he has achieved immortality through nine lifetimes. Only ten years have passed in the outside world. This is Shi Hao's destiny.
"Young Master, how did your battle with that Immortal King Ao Sheng go? How did he return unharmed?" Xiao Xue asked, curious about the battle that day.
Lin Qing said disdainfully, "Unharmed? I have already planted a restriction in his mind. With a thought, his soul and body will be destroyed."
"If I ask him to eat shit now, he won't dare say a word."
"Young master is truly wonderful. Let me massage your shoulders." Xiaoxue knelt on the sofa.
Lin Qing immediately lay down on her lap, squinting her eyes, her mind already racing.
[Ding! Main quest complete. Rewards have been deposited. Silently ask yourself, "Claim or not?"]
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then silently said, "Receive."
Instantly, a powerful force erupted from Lin Qing's Dragon Pearl (Demon Core).
Just as this power was about to overflow from his body, Lin Qing immediately used his divine power to suppress it.
"Phew!" After a moment, Lin Qing let out a long sigh of relief.
Lin Qing now felt much stronger. He then opened his attribute panel.

"Main quest completed, conditions for Chaos Ancestral Dragon's advancement met, perfect."
"System, can I advance now?" Lin Qing was very excited.
[The host's conditions have been met, and you can advance at any time. However, a reminder is needed.]
"A reminder? A reminder about what?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.
[This world is insufficient to support the host's advancement. Forcing advancement will only backfire, resulting in being devoured by this Great Dao. Moreover, the Age of Dharma Decline is about to descend.]
"Not enough to support my advancement? That's not right. Let's not even talk about the Corpse Immortal Emperor. Just look at Shi Hao. Didn't he become an Immortal Emperor in this realm?" Lin Qing felt that the system was bluffing him.
Chapter 627 Above the Heavens
[What the host says is correct, but the place where the Corpse Immortal Emperor resides doesn't actually belong to this realm.]
At the site where the Corpse Immortal Emperor resided, and where Shi Hao achieved the position of Immortal Emperor, there was a breach. This breach connected to the heavens above, and a certain substance emanating from it could support the breakthrough to Immortal Emperor.
"Above the Heavens, does that mean if I go there, or enter Above the Heavens, I can advance in rank?" Lin Qing thought about it and it seemed to make sense.
That's right.
"Forget it, I'll just go to the next world. It'll be hundreds of thousands of years before I get there. I'd have to be crazy to go there." Helpless, Lin Qing could only say that.
Lin Qing thought to himself, "It seems it's time to leave."
"However, I still need to wait ten years to say goodbye to Shi Hao." Lin Qing can wait ten years, and he can also take a ten-year break.
For over five hundred years, it has been truly arduous; there has never been a moment of comfortable rest.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Standing atop the dam, Lin Qing let out a long sigh and said, "It took me five years to set this up. Now I can leave in peace."
"Judging by the time, Shi Hao should have already become an immortal and will be returning soon."
Lin Qing glanced at the depths of the Boundary Sea, then turned and headed towards the Three Thousand Provinces.
Nine heavens and ten lands, beyond the desolate borderlands.
A boy appeared here.
Shi Hao walked forward, each step revealing a fleeting illusion. His magical power was astonishing, and his cultivation was unfathomable. He left without a trace.
Shi Hao arrived at the Imperial Pass. In the past, Lin Qing had killed all the immortals and immortal kings of the alien realm. Now, the Imperial Pass is no longer a fortress guarding the nine heavens and ten earths.
Instead, it was a rest and recuperation place for those who had set out from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Shi Hao entered the Imperial Pass.
Upon learning that time had not changed and that he had not missed this lifetime, Shi Hao breathed a sigh of relief and was completely at ease.
People inside the Imperial Pass had a misconception: Huang was imposing without anger, even more so than the immortal beings of yesteryear. What had happened to him?
The next moment, Shi Hao disappeared from here, truly returning to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
"Master!?" Red Dragon shouted, becoming the first to spot him.
Shi Hao's return to the Dragon Court caused a great uproar.
Yunxi and Huoling'er were the most anxious, as they were Shi Hao's confidantes and worried about him the most.
Because of Lin Qing's presence, the Sinful State was no longer captured and taken to a foreign land, and Huo Ling'er successfully waited for Shi Hao under the mulberry tree.
Xiaoxue was also a little worried. She had watched Shi Hao grow up, even though he had been in seclusion for quite a while.
"You... how have you changed?" Everyone sensed that Shi Hao's eyes were filled with vicissitudes and weariness, clearly the result of the passage of time.
What did he go through? Did he encounter setbacks in the Immortal Realm?
"Are you alright?" Yunxi asked worriedly. For the past few days, she had been looking out for him, worried that he might not be able to return safely, and her heart was filled with torment.
Huo Ling'er hugged Shi Hao tightly, unwilling to let go.
"I'm fine." A flicker of emotion flashed in Shi Hao's weathered eyes.
"It seems you have lived through countless years." Lin Qing had just returned from the dam boundary when he saw Shi Hao's return and immediately went up to him.
"Uncle Dragon King," Shi Hao called out.
"No need for further words. Go into seclusion and calm down. I have something to tell you, it's very important." Lin Qing quickly stopped Shi Hao, who wanted to continue speaking.
"good!"
Shi Hao has gone into seclusion; no matter what, he needs some peace and quiet.
What he needs to do most now is to cut off his distracting thoughts. These are trivial matters from hundreds of thousands of years ago. He needs to maintain a clear and pure mind, otherwise, the memories from hundreds of thousands of years will be too vicissitudes.
Shi Hao's primordial spirit glowed, and a gleaming longsword emerged from his body, slashing towards himself.
Afterwards, Shi Hao's primordial spirit remained as clear as crystal, just as before.
Many practitioners of Taoism can maintain a childlike heart even in their advanced years; such self-purification is inevitable.
Shi Hao recovered and was full of energy again.
Having experienced hundreds of thousands of years, what he retained were his insights into cultivation, while he eradicated all unimportant matters.
