In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
The people of Kunlun Sea were trapped in the dungeon of the Si Capital. Other than cultivating, they could do nothing else.
During this time, the Si Capital did not send anyone to check on them. It was as if they had ignored their existence and left them to their own devices.
At this moment, Ziyin and the others were meditating in the cold and damp dungeon. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were flowing with spots of divine light. It was as if they were isolated from space, forming a divine barrier to resist the sword will of the Seamless Heavenly Dao.
Qin Hao, Xiao Han, Wuque, and Illusion Sovereign were in a much better situation. They were all proficient in the way of the sword. Moreover, they had the power of the Original Realm, so the influence was not very obvious.
Especially Illusion Sovereign. He even let go of himself and allowed the spatial will of the Heavenly Dao to suppress him. He used the pressure of the Heavenly Dao to cultivate. He realized that the spatial will of the Seamless World was not much weaker than that of the Donghuang World. Cultivating here was like a fish in water. It was extremely comfortable.
However, Ziyin and the others were not in a good situation.
A cold wind blew in the dungeon. Qin Hao looked silently and saw that Ziyin's meditating body was trembling slightly. He could not help but worry. The pressure of the Heavenly Dao would become stronger and stronger. The Heavenly Wheel would not be able to resist it. If this continued, their bodies and souls would not be able to take it.
Qin Hao had also thought of using the perfect Heavenly Wheel to communicate with the Seamless Heavenly Dao to relieve the pressure on Ziyin and the others. However, this idea was rejected by Ziyin on the spot.
Now that they were in the Seamless World, they were very far away from the Tian Hou Divine World. People's hearts were unpredictable, and they had to hide a little. Daisukong was very shrewd, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil. If Qin Hao released the Heavenly Wheel to resonate with the Heavenly Dao, he would definitely notice it. No one could predict what the outcome would be.
"Senior Sikong, you imprisoned us here and ignored us. Now, my senior brother's body is very weak. He urgently needs to go to the Heavenly Book Pavilion. I hope that senior can let us go."
Qin Hao stood up and shouted towards the outside of the prison.
The sound spread out, and in the dungeon, there was a dense rhythm of sword sounds. In an instant, the sword wills floating in the space outside the dungeon pointed at Qin Hao, as if he would be pierced by thousands of swords if he moved even a little.
"The sword intent outside the prison can sense the changes in our emotions. Sit down."
Ziyin said with a weak breath. His lips were dry and cracked. When a martial artist entered the path of martial arts and transcended the mortal world, he could enter the state of Inedia. There was no need for him to consume food in the mortal world. When he reached the divine level, he did not need to do so. As long as his divine source was not destroyed, his divine power would be able to maintain his youth forever.
For Ziyin to undergo such a change, it was obvious that the pressure he was enduring from the Heavenly Dao was very strong. His divine power could not hold on for much longer.
"But if this continues, senior apprentice-brothers, all of you will run out of divine sources."
Qin Hao said. He was blaming himself in his heart. Perhaps he had done something wrong.
"The Sikong Temple is reinforced by divine power. No matter how loud you shout, my grandfather can't hear you. Why don't you beg me instead?"
At this moment, there was a playful laughter. The young master of Sikong City, Young Master Si, held his head high and his hands behind his back. He swaggered into the dungeon. The sword wills floating in the space moved aside and made a path for him.
"Beg you?"
Qin Hao glanced at Young Master Si coldly. "Will you let us go?"
It was not that simple.
"Maybe. Why don't you try kneeling down and begging me? As long as your attitude is good, I can consider it."
Young Master Si smiled.
"He has never had the habit of kneeling in his life. Don't look at me, I don't either."
Wuque said with his eyes closed.
"It's okay. Habits are formed slowly."
Young Master Si looked around the dungeon and swept his gaze across everyone in Kunlun Sea, as if encouraging them to kneel.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
Even Chu Zu and Qi Zu looked at him coldly and closed their eyes again. They had stepped into the Celestial Wheel Realm and cultivated for more than 10,000 years. They were the ancestors of the Kunlun aristocratic families. No matter what, they could not bow down to an unblemished brat.
"You're quite stubborn. Okay, then you can continue to stay here. Let's see who gives up first."
Young Master Si's face was filled with strong dissatisfaction. He turned around and left angrily.
"Wait."
Qin Hao said.
Hearing this, Young Master Si immediately stopped. He turned around and smiled. "Have you changed your mind?"
"It's impossible to kneel. You can state other conditions."
Qin Hao said. Daisukong said that he would punish them, but he only imprisoned them. If he really intended to punish them severely, it would not take so long. This meant that he did not mean to punish them at all.
"Let me think about it."
Young Master Si scratched his chin and raised his head with a thoughtful expression. Then his eyes flashed. He smiled slyly at Qin Hao. "That day, I saw that your cultivation was not bad. How much strength did you use when you fought with the three-headed demon dragon?"
"Less than ten percent."
Qin Hao said frankly. Young Master Si pursed his lips. "You're exaggerating. You're more capable than me."
"What do you think, Young Master Si?"
Qin Hao asked.
"How would I know?"
Young Master Si replied. He was not a roundworm in Qin Hao's stomach.
"How about this? Let me out to test it out. If I can defeat the three demon immortals of your residence in one move, can Young Master Si speak up for us and ask Daisukong to release everyone from the dungeon?"
Qin Hao said.
"That's a good idea. Sure."
Young Master Si nodded.
Qin Hao pointed at the cell and the sword intent floating outside the cell.
"Let him out!"
Young Master Si shouted.
Whoosh!
As his voice fell, the bars made of divine iron slowly rose. The flashing sword light outside began to tremble restlessly. Although it did not attack Qin Hao, it maintained an attacking posture to prevent Ziyin and the others from escaping.
"Don't stare at the sword intent. Follow me."
Young Master Si said.
Qin Hao, Xiao Han, and the others exchanged glances before stepping out and following Young Master Si. They avoided the sword intent floating outside the cell and ignored it with their telekinesis. As long as they did not pay too much attention, the sword intent outside the cell would not be hostile. Of course, the main reason was that Young Master Si was present.
Soon, the two stepped out of the dark and damp dungeon. Qin Hao saw the light again. The warm light shone on his body, making him feel exceptionally comfortable. Even his soul had a warm and comfortable feeling.
Outside the cell, there were several guards from Si Kong City. Their auras were relatively strong, and they were even stronger than the leader of the guards who had escorted them back to the city. It could be seen that Si Kong City was full of experts. Even Heavenly Wheel experts like this were not few in number in the entire Divine Realm. After all, this was the core of a large world and the lifeline of hundreds of planes surrounding it.
"If the Divine Wilderness had not been invaded by the foreign army and the Yuan Ling era had not ended, I wonder if it would have developed into the Seamless Divine Domain."
Qin Hao sighed.
During the Yuan Ling era, there were more than 20 Heavenly Wheel experts in the Divine Wilderness. According to their Heavenly Wheel grades, the strongest representative of these 20 people, Yan Ming, was indeed qualified to become a Divine Master and even the Divine King of the Original Domain.
In that case, the Divine Wilderness would definitely be like the Seamless Academy, expanding infinitely and giving birth to many planes. Thus, millions of emperors would have the opportunity to advance to the Divine Path and become the second Seamless Divine Domain, or even surpass the scale of the Seamless Divine Domain.
It was a pity that such a great era had sadly fallen.
"Young Master Si, why did you bring me here?"
Qin Hao looked puzzled as he followed Young Master Si forward. Their current location was not some training hall, but an extremely unique palace in the city. It seemed to be Young Master Si's personal territory.
"As for your abilities, I'm well aware of them. Let's not talk about whether you used 10% or 20% of your power back then. In short, if you were to fight one on one, those three dragons would definitely not be your match. You wouldn't even have a chance to get close to them."
Young Master Si sat on a rock in the palace and took out a fruit pit from his pocket and ate it with relish.
Qin Hao's brows knitted slightly.
"So, I don't doubt your ability. Show me a few moves. For example, the miraculous Shadowless Ghost Movement Technique you executed that day. If I'm satisfied, I'll beg Grandfather to release your companions."
Young Master Si crossed his legs.
"Okay."
Qin Hao understood now. He executed the Fleetfoot Steps without using a trace of Dao Insight. His movement technique floated past Young Master Si's eyes, sometimes swift like the wind, sometimes shaking like the waves. It contained a feeling of crushing heaven's might, and it was boundlessly profound.
Young Master Si gradually became enthralled and completely forgot about the fruit pit in his palm. His expression and movements froze, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. He realized that even though Qin Hao didn't use a trace of Dao Insight's divine power, his footsteps were extremely exquisite. He could completely immerse himself in it and imagine the spectacular scene after Qin Hao used his divine power.
"Wonderful, truly wonderful."
Afterimages flew past his eyes, and Young Master Si was full of praise. At this time, he couldn't catch Qin Hao's aura at all, and he couldn't tell which shadow was the real body.
Without using Dao Insight's divine power, Qin Hao was already so powerful. One could imagine what kind of scene it would be if Qin Hao released Tian Lun and poured his divine power into his movement technique.
Thinking of this, Young Master Si's eyes flickered more and more as if he had discovered a treasure. He said, "Stop."
Hum.
As if a gust of wind had stopped in front of him, Qin Hao appeared in front of Young Master Si and said, "Satisfied?"
"Ahem, although it's not as powerful as our Sikong Clan's divine technique, it's barely enough."
Young Master Si said.
"If that's the case, can Young Master Si plead with Senior Sikong?"
Qin Hao was concerned about the situation of Ziyin and the others.
Young Master Si shook his head. "Your performance has indeed met my expectations, but why should I help you?"
"Speak frankly, what exactly do you want?"
Qin Hao said.
"Be my fighter and stay by my side. Do whatever I ask you to do."
Young Master Si stood up from the stone and said seriously.
"In other words, I'll be responsible for bringing you around freely?"
Qin Hao said.
"That's the effect."
Young Master Si laughed.
"I don't like being someone's subordinate."
Qin Hao refused.
Young Master Si's laughter stopped, and the corner of his mouth twitched a few times. "You can acknowledge me as your big brother. In the future, I'll protect you in the Seamless Divine Territory."
"Are you sure?"
The corner of Qin Hao's mouth rose.
"You look quite ruthless, but why are you so wishy-washy? To tell you the truth, I've lived for so long and have yet to have a true brother. They're not worthy. As long as you're of one heart with me, I'll repay you tenfold, no, twentyfold."
Young Master Si promised loudly.
"Alright, Big Brother, please accept a bow from me."
Qin Hao cupped his fists and said, "I'm Li Chuji. In the future, I'll rely on Big Brother Young Master Si to take care of the Seamless Divine Territory."
"Young Master Si is what the people of the Divine Territory call me. My name is Si Huan. Hahaha … Good brother."
Si Huan raised his hand and patted Qin Hao's shoulder happily.
"Big Brother, you guys … My Senior Brothers are still in the dungeon …" Qin Hao hesitated. Si Huan rolled his eyes and said, "To tell you the truth, brother, I've never had my pants pulled out and beaten on the street in my life. You're the first. At that time, I was very angry, so I deliberately asked the old man to lock you guys in the dungeon. I know very well that you guys came from the outside world and can't withstand the will of the Heavenly Dao in the Seamless Divine Territory for too long, so …" "So, this is the current situation."
Qin Hao was also a smart person.
"Hahaha, in two days, I'll go ask Grandpa to let you guys go. After all, I've said too many harsh words, so I need to go through the formalities. Come, let's go drink."
Si Huan raised his arm and put it on Qin Hao's shoulder, walking toward a small building in the palace park.
Because of their height, Si Huan was more than a head shorter than Qin Hao, so from the back, the two looked strange. Si Huan's walking posture was one side high and the other low, as if half of his body was hanging on Qin Hao's shoulder. It was quite indecent.
