Follow the path of Dao from infancy Chapter 1926 Chapter 517: The Heavenly Dao Banner Stands, Incarnations Illuminate the Thousand Clans of the Southern Domain

"Commander Hao Tian, our Ancestor Dragon Clan has been summoned to the Primordial True Realm. I will immediately send them a message to rendezvous in the Southern Domain!"

Li Hao's deputy, Long Zhan Tian, urgently addressed Li Hao.

"Alright."

"Commander Shi Miao, our clan is situated in the Northern Domain. The Family Head has transmitted a message; prior to his departure, he had already commanded the clan's powerful individuals to activate the Teleportation Array, and the clan members are currently being teleported to the Southern Domain!"

Su Wanyi swiftly conveyed to Shi Miao: "I wish to proceed to the border to intercept them first, then join the rendezvous."

"Approved."

Shi Miao gave a slight nod and cautioned, "Be vigilant against any ambushes."

Su Wanyi's gaze turned fierce, and she affirmed with a nod.

Li Hao immediately led Shi Miao and four deputies, alongside other chosen individuals who followed independently, setting a course towards the Immortal Gate.

This particular Immortal Gate was imbued with abundant energy, more than sufficient to transport all of them away from the Abyss.

Witnessing Li Hao and his entourage depart, others also commenced their own actions.

Southern Domain, central region.

A collection of figures emerged from the Immortal Gate, and upon lifting their gazes, they were met with a scene of unparalleled grandeur. Immortal peaks pierced the heavens, structures clustered like a migrating flock, with ethereal clouds painting the sky in vibrant hues, and a formidable, steep mountain standing sentinel amidst the soaring peaks.

At the apex of the mountain rested a palace suspended in mid-air, beneath which sprawled a seemingly endless staircase.

"Heavenly Palace."

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, concluding that the teleportation destination beyond the Immortal Gate was not merely within the Southern Domain, but precisely at its heart.

His Divine Sense rapidly expanded, his Divine Soul Power, augmented by five thousand drops of True God Blood, swept across billions of miles. It discerned countless layers of prohibitions among the peaks; however, these barriers proved inadequate against his Divine Soul. Within the peaks, every cultivator, every solitary figure, fell under his penetrating gaze, all identified as belonging to the Heavenly Palace.

Echoes of past events resurfaced in his memory.

The multitude of ascending staircases served as a testament to the Heavenly Palace's supreme authority, forcing those present to challenge the Heavenly Palace's various Immortal Dynasties' proudest heavenly talents to ascend with humbled postures.

"Can this truly be the core of the Southern Domain? Why does the concentration of powerful individuals here feel so sparse, and the immortal power so attenuated, weaker even than my clan's Holy Land? Is this genuinely the domain of a Supreme being?"

Long Zhan Tian surveyed his surroundings, unable to suppress his suspicion-laden question.

He himself occupied the Peak of the Immortal King Realm; though he had once been bested by the ten True Kings, within the Immortal King Realm, he stood peerless, capable of standing toe-to-toe with a Quasi-Emperor.

At this juncture, his Divine Sense easily permeated the entirety of the Heavenly Palace, detecting a mere seven or eight individuals in the Immortal King Realm, fewer than ten in total.

Could it be that the Southern Domain's circumstances mirrored their own Eastern Domain's dire situation, with most of their powerful forces already dispatched to the borders?

This thought tightened his heart, instilling a sense of mounting urgency.

Shi Miao's brow furrowed, recognizing the conspicuous absence of any Supreme presence, which somewhat alleviated the apprehension she had harbored. It appeared that the machinations of the various Emperors had indeed succeeded in relocating the Emperor of the entire True Realm.

Aside from the Southern Domain Venerable, even the presence of Quasi-Emperors had vanished. The number of Immortal Kings remaining here was distressingly low, with only a single individual having achieved the Perfection of the Immortal King Realm.

"The Supreme..."

A cold glint flickered in Shi Miao's eyes, her heart burdened with burgeoning suspicions.

"What is transpuring?"

Dao Qingyin inquired, also perceiving the unsettling anomaly of the situation.

Li Hao spoke little, descending rapidly, with the rest of the group following in close pursuit.

Within the Heavenly Palace, several Immortal Kings swiftly emerged, alerted by the energy fluctuations detected beyond the established prohibitions. Although Li Hao and his companions had made efforts to conceal their presence, the stringent prohibitions, meticulously laid by a Supreme being, easily pinpointed their approach.

"Who... is it you all?"

Several Immortal Kings recognized Li Hao, and their expressions underwent a marked shift. They had not anticipated Li Hao and his contingent's swift transit from the Abyss to the Southern Domain.

Fortunately, other forces had promptly redeployed to bolster different regions before the conclusion of the True King competition.

As for this location, even if it were overrun by Ancient Demons, it could be reclaimed once the Supreme returned. Indeed, precious artifacts had already been secured and transported away by several Quasi-Emperor disciples of the Supreme.

"What is the prevailing situation in the Southern Domain? Have the others already mobilized to the borders?"

Li Hao's eyes narrowed slightly as he posed his question with outward calm.

After hearing this, a few exchanged glances, a prepared response on their lips, and one of them chuckled, stating:

"True King, please be informed that the Supreme Being along with several Quasi-Emperors have already departed for the Exotic Battlefield to confront the Ancient Demon Emperor. We received instructions from the Heavenly Palace to be merciful and assist all realms. As other Outer Realms are currently facing hardships, they have led forces to provide aid, and are thus not present here. Fortunately, with your arrival and your forces stationed in the Southern Domain, it should undoubtedly remain secure."

"What?"

This revelation caused Li Hao and Shi Miao to pause, but Dao Qingyin and Long Zhan Tian's expressions shifted drastically, their gazes turning towards the Immortal King with palpable anger.

"Are you implying that the other Immortal Kings from your Heavenly Palace have all departed to assist other regions, leaving not a single one in the Southern Domain?"

Long Zhan Tian demanded, his voice laced with fury, involuntarily unleashing a majestic dragon power.

The Immortal King's countenance shifted, his smile becoming strained as he replied, "Other regions are in dire straits, and as fellow members of the Human Race, mutual assistance is paramount..."

"How many have departed, and how many Immortal Kings remain within the Southern Domain? Furthermore, how many Immortal Lords and True Immortals did they take with them?"

Dao Qingyin cut him off, her questions sharp and rapid, fueled by indignation. Despite her younger generation status, she maintained composure, immediately seeking to grasp the precarious situation in the Southern Domain. If the Heavenly Palace's local contingent was indeed this scarce, the burden of resisting the Ancient Demons would fall squarely upon their own clans, as they had pledged allegiance to Li Hao in defending this territory.

The Immortal King's expression flickered. As an Immortal King of the Heavenly Palace, he was well aware of the previous Southern Domain Uprising battle where Li Hao had narrowly escaped the Supreme Being's clutches, and consequently held no favorable opinion of him. However, Long Zhan Tian and Dao Qingyin represented the formidable Ancestor Dragon Clan and the esteemed Dao Clan, respectively!
