Luo Hao and Su Wan walked out of the palace.

"Miss Su is leaving now. I'll see you again in the future when I'm free."

Luo Hao cupped his fist in farewell and then disappeared into the crowd without a trace.

Luo Hao wholeheartedly wanted to go back and seclude himself in order to break through to the Soul Condensation Realm as soon as possible.

Su Wan stared blankly at the direction Luo Hao left in, unable to retract her gaze for a long time.

Luo Hao returned to the Villa that Lu Chenglong bought and told Lu Chenglong that he was going to cultivate in seclusion. Lu Chenglong was naturally ecstatic, and hoped that Lu Hao could improve his Soul Condensation Realm soon.

After that, he had a warm relationship with Lu Tianfeng, but he didn't make much progress. He still couldn't casually attack the city, so Luo Hao could only smell the fragrant aroma as he quickly left.

The days were like water, passing silently.

Inside Luo Hao's room.

Luo Hao sat on the bed with his legs crossed and eyes closed. His resolute face was slightly trembling, his hands making weird gestures, causing the surrounding air to gush forth with whooshing sounds, and bore into Luo Hao's body, causing his aura to rise continuously.

Luo Hao was currently in a very wonderful feeling, his entire being was like a person travelling far away, as he passed through a valley shrouded in smoke. Even though he couldn't see nor hear, he wouldn't get lost, and even though he had to take many detours and detours in the middle, he still continued to walk in a certain direction.

An unreachable region of the Soul Sea was opening and closing, and as the cycle continued, the gap between them slowly widened.

Suddenly, Luo Hao, who was in the midst of advancing, saw a ray of light, which was golden, enter the dense fog, and encourage Luo Hao to work even harder to advance forward.

The aura from Luo Hao's body continued to climb, his speed was extremely quick, and finally reached its peak.

"Buzz!"

A light vibration came from Luo Hao's Soul Sea, followed by a sudden tremble of her body, and in the next moment, a torrent of energy gushed out from her Dantian. It was extremely vast, but was flowing in an orderly manner through Luo Hao's meridians.

At the same time, the scattered soul power within the Soul Sea seemed to have received a kind of summons. They gathered together, spinning at high speeds, and slowly formed a black bead. It was the symbol of a warrior entering the Soul Condensation Realm — — Soul Orb.

The soul orb that Luo Hao formed was different from the others who had just levelled up, it was bigger and more focused, meaning that Luo Hao was stronger, his soul power was stronger.

In the future, as one's cultivation level increases, the soul orb will grow bigger and more concentrated. When it reaches the peak of the ninth stage of the Soul Condensation Realm, the orb will become as hard as ever, as if it was made out of molten metal, and at that time, it will have the chance to advance into a realm that tens of thousands of people cannot reach, the Soul Strengthening Realm.

After a while, Luo Hao opened his eyes, which shone brightly. As he got off the bed, he felt the Spirit Qi in his body surging around his body, it was powerful enough to destroy a small hill with a punch.

Luo Hao walked out of the courtyard and arrived at the back of the mountain. With a thought, the Heaven Swallowing Sword in his hand, in the time it took for a flash of wind and lightning to flash, his sword had already flashed out. With a hualala sound, several tons of hard rocks in front of him were sliced into two from within, the cut surface was as smooth as a mirror.

Luo Hao was overjoyed, but this was because after he had used the first move of the Heaven Swallowing Sword with all his strength, the spiraling soul orb inside the Soul Sea actually shook slightly, and the Dantian area of the Soul Sea suddenly became extremely full, as if it had never used that strike before.

Luo Hao did not know what happened at the Soul Sea's place, but while feeling happy about it, he thought that it should be related to the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit, just that this ability was too heaven-defying, so if Luo Hao was willing to let his body not die, even if his cultivation was higher, he would still slowly grind him down to death.

In order to test his wild imagination, Luo Hao once again used all of his strength to pull out the sword. After the third sword strike, the spirit energy in his dantian became sparse again, but it did not leave no trace like his soul nourishing stage, as it had the ability to move backwards.

In other words, for Luo Hao to be able to release three consecutive strikes from such a powerful technique, it was equivalent to being able to kill three people stronger than him. Luo Hao was already very satisfied.

Now that he had entered the Soul Condensation Realm, he could practice the second form of the Heaven-Devouring Nine Techniques: Void.

In actual combat, when the enemy blocks one's path of escape, it is more difficult to predict one's movements than the first style, which makes it even more powerful. Of course, the amount of spiritual energy required to make a move is much greater.

Luo Hao took out the [Heaven-Devouring Nine Techniques] from the palace in the Heaven Swallowing Sword and started to practice it at the back of the mountain.

Luo Hao memorized the second form of the art and jumped in eight forms. He looked up to his nose, looked at his nose, looked at his mouth, looked at his heart, suddenly shouted lightly, his body moved slightly, he leapt into the air, the Heaven Swallowing Sword left its sheath, only to see sword light everywhere, like a sky full of cold stars, appearing everywhere. It was extremely misty, appearing vaguely, and it seemed to be missing.

Luo Hao sheathed his sword and landed on the ground.

"Crash!"

With a sound, the tree fell to the ground. A few square meters of the area where the sword had pierced through turned into dust. If it landed on a person's body, it would immediately shatter into pieces.

But with this sword, the Spirit Qi in Luo Hao's Dantian was already down to 20%, although it was powerful, it consumed a lot of Spirit Qi.

The Sword Drawing Arts could be used three times, while the Void Shattering Fist could only be used once. Of course, its power would also increase by several folds.

When Luo Hao was training in the sword in the rear mountains, somewhere in his palace, Long Ji had started a feast for the young talents of the empire.

Dragon-ranked sat on the upper path, with invited people lined up on both sides.

There was an empty seat on the right side of the seat, but there was no one there.

Everyone guessed that this person must have left it for Su Wan, but Su Wan didn't come, so she was left empty.

In actuality, Long Ji had intentionally left this seat, and did not leave it for Su Wan either.

A few days ago, Long Ji had brought Long Ruojing to Luo Hao's residence, but as the person in charge of this matter was currently in closed-door cultivation, it was not wise for him to beat around the bush. Long Ji could only return to his room and leave behind an invitation for him to meet up at the mansion, since Luo Hao had not come, so his seat was naturally empty.

After three rounds of drinking, Long Ji put down the cup and glanced at the people who were seated down, and slowly said: "Everyone should be clear about the matter, that is the matter that has already spread throughout the entire capital, and the people who came to the, who came to the palace three days later, must have heard of it, and have challenged everyone, as citizens of the empire, and as such, you are all elites of the various families, and as it concerns the prestige of our nation, I hope that everyone can give us your best, and I hope that you will be able to give us your best, at that time of the Spring and Autumn.

"…"

We should be willing to be sent by His Highness, so we won't refuse.

"Just as Long Ji finished speaking, the people below all stood up and cupped their fists as they spoke in unison.

Long Ji waved both of his hands forward, signalling for everyone to sit down and continue drinking.

Although his expression was calm, inside, he was extremely anxious. According to the reports from the spy, among the young generation in the diplomatic mission to the Yuan Wu Country, there was a high chance that a strong practitioner at the fourth level of Soul Condensation Realm would appear.

If the information was true, the banquet three days later would be truly worrisome.

Looking at the vacant seat, Long Ji thought of Luo Hao, thinking that if Luo Hao had succeeded in his breakthrough, and if he had broke through, how terrifying would his strength be, and whether he could make it to the banquet three days later, and also break through with all his might.

For some reason, when Long Ji thought of Luo Hao, the unease in his heart unknowingly decreased by a bit. The incomparably heavy sprinkling cup that was small in his hands had also returned to its original weight.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. When the morning sun rose, there were tens of thousands of empty streets. Today was the day that the envoys of the Yuan Wu Country arrived at the imperial palace, and everyone was gathered at a military arena that could accommodate close to a hundred thousand people.

At this time, the school field was already packed full of people. The crowd was all over the place and the sounds of chatter were everywhere. Everyone was discussing the Empire's rare gathering that was rarely seen in a hundred years and guessing why people from the State of Yuan Wu would suddenly come to the Empire.

At the center of the military arena was a battling platform that was hundreds of feet high and wide.

Directly in front of the battling platform was a tall and wide stone platform. It was used by the military to test the training methods of the army. Today, it was naturally used to entertain the envoys of the State of Yuan Wu.

The Emperor of the Empire, Yang Zhenyu, was naturally seated high up, and if the one standing at the bottom right was Long Ji, Long Ruojing, the Empire's number one general, Su An, and the rest were also present. Below them were the Empire's officials, as well as the Patriarchs of the various great clans.

On the other side was the Origin realm envoy. The one sitting on the seat of honor was an old man. His cultivation was impressively at the 8th level of the Soul Strengthening Realm and was equivalent to Long Zhenyu's strength.

The next person was a young man. He wore luxurious clothing, had a vulture face, and an extremely arrogant expression. He seemed to look down on everyone as he played with the sprinkled cup in his hands, from time to time with a mocking smile on his face.

After that, they were all youths with arrogant expressions on their faces. They looked at the crowd of experts below them and began to treat them as ants.

"Your Majesty, I greet you on behalf of the king of my country."

The ambassador of Yuan Wu, Zhou Hua, stood up and said respectfully. His attitude was respectful, but it was a completely different story. Rather than calling it respect, it would be more accurate to call it an expression of respect.

When Long Zhenyu saw this, he automatically filtered it and asked, "May I ask for the purpose of your esteemed envoy's visit?"

"Of course it's a good thing, a good thing."

Zhou Hua Shuang smiled.

"May I know what is the good of it? Please speak your mind. "

Long Zhenyu, as the king of this country, had his own prestige. His tone was plain, but it gave others an irresistible force.

The smile froze on his face, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, the other party was the ruler of a country, and their status was not something he could compare with. Furthermore, their strength was above his.

Time was of the essence, and he would not take up any of it. He could only lower his head for the time being.
