On this day, a youth with a simple and honest appearance appeared in front of the city gate. He was the Chen Han that Luo Hao had met when he was in Sky Fire City.

That day, after parting with Luo Hao, Chen Han returned home to stay for a while before bidding farewell to his grandfather and rushing over to the capital.

He only knew that Luo Hao had arrived at the capital, but he did not know where Luo Hao lived.

After entering the city, he could only ask whenever he saw someone.

Ever since the day Luo Hao became the envoy from the Great War of Yuanwu, he had been passed down through dozens of people, and many people knew of his name.

But they did not know where Luo Hao lived.

Coincidentally, when the Second Prince left the palace, he noticed that Chen Han was trying to find out more about Luo Hao. He had someone call Chen Han over to ask about the reason, and only then did he find out about the reason.

There were three people sitting in the pavilion in the Lu Jia Village's garden.

Luo Hao, Zhao Tong, Chen Han.

"Zhao Tong, Chen Han, the two of you are my best brothers. In a month, I will bring the two of you to Tianzhou to train.

"That's great. I wanted to go to Tianzhou a long time ago."

Zhao Tong finished his cup of tea in one gulp.

"Big brother, that's great. I'll go wherever you go."

Chen Han was not good with words, and said while patting the back of his head.

"All of you are now at the Peak of ninth level of Soul Nurturing. In the next month, I will let you all go to a place to cultivate, strive for a breakthrough, and advance to the Soul Condensation Realm."

Luo Hao thus said.

Towards people he trusted, Luo Hao would naturally think of a way to make their realm continuously improve and their strength continuously increase.

The place he sent the two of them to was naturally the soul ring.

If the two of them wanted to make a breakthrough, what they lacked right now was like playing football. They had only missed a single step yesterday and only lacked an epiphany.

However, the beautiful environment of the soul ring and the dense nature spirit energy were definitely helpful for their breakthroughs.

Furthermore, as long as it was possible, Luo Hao planned for them to continue cultivating inside to quickly raise their cultivation level and increase their strength.

If the people around him were strong enough, he would be able to do what he wanted without worry.

Half a month later, Chen Han made a breakthrough and entered the Soul Condensation Realm.

Ten days later, Zhao Tong made a breakthrough as well, and entered the Soul Condensation Realm.

Luo Hao let the two of them continue cultivating and work hard to increase their strength.

Ever since Qiao Qingyun's body was remodelled in the Secret Realm, her cultivation speed greatly increased. A month ago, she made a breakthrough and entered the Soul Condensation Realm.

To cultivate within a soul ring, in a short span of one month, was already within reach of the first stage of Soul Condensation Realm.

This speed was something that even Luo Hao would be amazed by.

Luo Hao was currently in the middle stages of the second stage of the Soul Condensation Realm and was not too far away from its peak.

He realized that his cultivation speed had slowed after entering the Soul Realm, and that his cultivation level wasn't as incredible as it was before.

However, the increase in his strength was not affected at all.

The two seemed to contradict each other.

If one's cultivation level increased, their strength would accordingly be strengthened.

What happened to Luo Hao was the decrease in realm, but the speed at which his strength was increasing was not affected at all.

In fact, if this phenomenon happened to anyone else, it would be a contradiction. However, such a thing would not happen to anyone else.

All of this was because of the Heaven Swallowing Martial Spirit that Luo Hao had awakened.

When a practitioner was in the soul nourishing stage, their soul power would be dispersed. As their soul power grew stronger, their strength would continue to grow.

After entering the Soul Condensation Realm, the warrior's soul power gathered at one point, forming a soul orb.

Due to their individual aptitudes, some people's soul orbs were loose, doubtful and unreal, while others were solid.

The more condensed a soul bead was, the stronger it would be.

Let's put it this way. Those with the same cultivation level and condensed soul orbs are much stronger.

Whether it was solid or not, it was an objective existence.

Once the bead was formed, it could no longer be changed.

But Luo Hao was different.

Before his soul orbs grew larger, they would first solidify.

It was just like two stones, each having the same appearance and size. Because the density inside was different, their weights would also be different.

Luo Hao's soul orbs simply became denser and denser at first. It looked like there was no change on the outside, but there was a qualitative change on the inside.

Other people could exert force of fifty kilograms when their soul orbs were the same size, but Luo Hao was able to pull off a soul orb that was three times or even more.

This was also the reason why Luo Hao could defeat his opponent while surpassing levels.

One month later, in the outer city of the imperial palace, three Cloud Chasing Eagles were parked on the field. Each of them had a beast tamer on them.

The Royal Patriarch, Long Zhenyu, and several other young people were present. They were none other than Long Ji, Zhao Gao, Chen Han, and Huangfu Tien.

Qiao Qingyun stood together with Long Ruojing, and Long Ruoqing pouted with her small mouth. It was obvious that she was a little bit emotional, and it was naturally because Long Ji didn't bring her along with him when she went to the Tianzhou.

The Royal Patriarch and Long Zhenyu warned Long Ji and the rest, signalling them to depart.

Including Qiao Qingyun, there were a total of six people. Each of them rode on a Chasing Condor.

After the group mounted the Cloud Chasing Eagle, the bird circled around the beast tamer once. Then, it flew up into the sky and disappeared into the distance, turning into a few black dots.

"I really look forward to what will happen when Long Ji comes back."

Long Zhenyu sighed as he looked at the Cloud Chasing Eagle.

Since the last time Long Ji went through the refinement process with the dragon blood, his cultivation speed had clearly increased by a lot. In merely two months, he had increased from the third stage of the Soul Condensation Realm to the middle stage.

On this trip into the secret realm, if they were lucky enough to meet, their cultivation base would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.

The six of them had good aptitudes, especially Luo Hao, whose future is limitless. I truly hope that the Empire will produce a super strong Ranker, if that happens, the Empire's reputation in the Chio Continent will increase, and their status would increase. They do not need to care about other people's expressions anymore.

One month later, three black spots appeared in the sky above Hongwu's Imperial City, quickly heading towards the Imperial City.

Soul-Breaking Realm who was currently flying and patrolling the sky frowned slightly, then stepped forward.

"Who are you? Above the Royal Capital, no one is allowed to fly without permission."

The people who had come were Long Ji and the rest who had come from the empire. They were flying at the forefront of the condors and were sitting on top of the second son of the emperor, Long Ji.

"We are from the Southern Kingdom, and the Queen of your country is the royal aunt of the people here."

Long Ji stood up and bowed as he spoke.

Only the Soul Destroyer Realm expert could fly in the air, but it was effortless for them to wipe out the entire Southern Kingdom by themselves.

This was also the first time Luo Hao and the others saw a strong warrior who could stand in the air and not fall without borrowing any treasures. They were all envious of him and hoped that there would be a day when they could also reach such heights.

At that time, the thought of roaming the world would be intoxicating.

"If that's the case, then follow me."

As one of the strong elites of the Shuiyun Imperial Capital, naturally, he was clear about the matters of the Imperial Family. Hearing that Long Ji had declared himself to be the empress's nephew, his attitude became a little more gentle, and signalling Long Ji and the others to follow him.

Long Ji's group flew along with the Soul Destroyer Realm expert, and then landed atop a plaza.

Soul Destroyer Realm expert ordered for the three large eagles to be brought to the back, then led Long Ji and a few others to the front palace.

Along the way, there were pavilions and pavilions, small bridges with flowing water, artificial mountains, charming scenery, magnificent buildings, and luxurious decorations.

As one of the powerful nations of the Tianzhou, the majesty of the Shuyuan Kingdom was far greater than that of the imperial city where Long Ji resided. Long Ji, who had found fault with being luxurious, was also greatly shocked, thinking that this was what a true powerful nation could do.

Luo Hao and the others walked forward as if they were going through a maze.

"You guys wait here. I'll go make the report."

Soul Destroyer Realm expert brought Luo Hao and the rest to an extremely elegant palace, and stopped.

On top of the high platform stood a row of impressive and imposing guards clad in bright lines of armor.

"You guys wait here. I'll go make the report."

Soul Destroyer Realm expert told them to wait, and then he stepped onto the stage alone and chatted with the guards.

After one of them heard this, they entered the mansion and automatically went up to report about Long Ji's arrival.

Not long after, a young man wearing luxurious clothing walked out with an arrogant expression. Behind him followed a guard who had just entered, appearing to be extremely respectful.

"Greetings, your majesty."

Upon seeing the young man, the guard on duty hurriedly knelt down and paid his respects.

The Soul Destroyer Realm expert also bowed with a half bent back, his expression was also extremely respectful.

The young man was none other than the Hongwu's Crown Prince, Long Ji's cousin, Wu Haonan.

"Your Highness, these are the people from the Southern Kingdom, and …"

Just as Soul Destroyer Realm expert was about to say that Long Ji was his cousin, Wu Haonan waved his hand, telling him to shut up. He glanced at Long Ji and the rest, then asked: "Which one of you is Long Ji?"

Her tone was cold, her gaze cold, without any of the excitement of a relative meeting.

"I am Long Ji, may I ask if you are cousin Haonan?"

The reason why Wu Haonan acted like this, was because he believed that the higher one's status was, the higher one's realm would be, and he would not look down on Long Ji, and that was good, as someone else, he would not even look at him in the eye, he was too lazy to even say anything.

"You are cousin Long Ji? "That's right."

Wu Haonan seemed to only know that Long Ji was his cousin that was far away. His expression did not change as he used his senior's eloquence to say that was right, and naturally referred to Long Ji's cultivation.

"Follow me."

Wu Haonan said in a cold tone and then walked towards the palace.

Luo Hao watched coldly from the start to the end. He had seen too many young masters of noble families who were like this.

For someone as noble as Wu Haonan, whose realm was not bad, it was reasonable for him to have a vile attitude.

Long Ji turned and smiled to Luo Hao and the rest, then led the way.

After entering the palace, they walked through another stretch of small bridges and flowing water as well as the pavilions and pavilions.

Wu Haonan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and said: "Cousin brother Long Ji, follow me in."

With that, he walked forward again, as for Luo Hao and the others, he was too lazy to even say a few words about stopping them or waiting on the spot.
