Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 306 - 297: Three Protagonists Meet—Who Dares Claim Invincibility?

Chapter 306: Chapter 297: Three Protagonists Meet—Who Dares Claim Invincibility?

The Ark was flying low, allowing Xiao Huo to see the mountains, buildings, towns, and more on the ground up close.

At this moment, it was just morning, and a faint mist shrouded the earth. Upon careful observation, one would find that this was not ordinary water vapor but Spiritual Power so concentrated it had materialized into mist!

The morning light of the rising sun pierced through the thick Immortal Clouds, scattering onto the earth, seemingly draping the mountains of the Dragon Dome Vein in a layer of Golden Battle Armor. Cyan Simurgh Immortal Cranes danced in the mountain torrents, and Cyan Dragons spiraled within the earth’s basins.

Immortal Forest Cities were established within the Immortal Vein, where the Immortal Dao thrived, and the Martial Dao surged, exuding an aura of sacred peace and countless misty clouds. The purple haze reflected upon the Immortals, showcasing the grandeur of the Immortal Dao’s prosperity like never before.

There stood majestic Taoist temples where Great Immortals sat on meditation mats, preaching to countless listeners below, intently listening.

There were booming, deafening roars heard from military camps, where generals trained their soldiers. Warriors donned in Silver Armor brandished their Swords and Sabers with an imposing and fearsome aura.

Seeing just this corner of the scenery, Xiao Huo was left speechless, his mouth agape.

Is this the legendary Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm!

Upon entering the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, Yun Tian took over control of the Ark, lowering its altitude to fly just above the general mountain height.

The Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm was heavily fortified with Arrays. Only vehicles from within the Alliance could fly at such heights, while Arks from other powers flew mostly at low altitudes. Even flying Fierce Beasts wouldn’t soar high.

Quickly, Yun Tian piloted the Ark into a small city.

.....

"Domain Master Xiao, I’m afraid you’ll have to rest overnight in this small place. Tomorrow morning, someone will come to take you for the evaluation," Yun Tian arranged for Xiao Huo to stay in his own residence to foster their relationship.

"Thank you, Brother Yun, for your hospitality," Xiao Huo expressed, cupping his hands.

....

The city where Yun Tian resided was called Lorran City, which was considered a high-level city in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm.

Due to Yun Tian’s Cultivation strength and his work with the Patrol Department, he had a large independent residence in this prized land of Lorran City, which was impressive.

Though the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm was vast, being the "Imperial City" of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, it governed many worlds. Numerous Great Power Cultivators, eager to establish themselves in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, contended for every inch of this valuable land.

After all, the high-level and top-level leaders of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance resided here, making it the closest place to the "Sovereign." Who wouldn’t want to gain a foothold in a place brimming with endless opportunities?

That night, Xiao Huo sat upright on a large, soft bed, unable to sleep, awake all night.

Having witnessed the mighty splendor of the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, his heart, filled with the drive for ambition and advancement, grew increasingly restless.

Could he spend his whole life as just the Domain Master of the Endless Fire Domain?

Even if the Endless Fire Domain advanced to a Lower-Rank Immortal Realm, so what?

He would merely be a Domain Master of a Lower-Rank Immortal Realm, among dozens of others who couldn’t even brush near the power center of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance.

Therefore, he had to strive harder, at least to make a name for himself in the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, establish a foothold for himself, and elevate the standing of the Endless Fire Domain.

...

The next morning, bright and early.

Several Commanders dressed in purple came to fetch Xiao Huo.

"Thank you, Brother Yun," Xiao Huo said gratefully.

"It’s nothing; I believe in you, go ahead," Yun Tian replied, gesturing him forward.

.....

Following these powerful purple-robed men, Xiao Huo was transferred through several Arrays, finally arriving in a small world crafted by a Spatial Array.

He stood on a vast, circular stone stage plaza, surrounded by a chaotic void.

"Wait here," said the purple-robed men before disappearing.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a white robe appeared in the stone stage plaza.

This middle-aged man, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, had a distinctively chiseled face and deep eyes, exuding a sense of maturity, steadiness, and restraint.

Xiao Huo’s gaze met that of the white-robed middle-aged man.

The moment their eyes met, through his imposing aura, Xiao Huo should have known the identity of this white-robed man—Wang Lin!

Upon meeting this somewhat well-known Domain Master Xiao, Wang Lin nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

There was a rumor that Wang Lin had a powerful background, backed by the Third Alliance Leader.

In truth, Wang Lin knew himself that he had merely once been pardoned by the Third Alliance Leader.

Specifically, he had basked in the glory of the Young Sovereign; otherwise, his past self would have long dissipated.

After his bid farewell to an old acquaintance, guided by instructions left by the Third Alliance Leader, he ventured into a new world, only to discover it was also under the Third Alliance Leader’s control.

Later on, he realized by chance he had joined an extraordinary force known as the "Heaven Shepherd Alliance," which governed countless worlds, including many Immortal Realms.

Through relentless effort, he became the lord of this new world, renaming it the Qilin Moon Domain, thus wholly integrating into the Heaven Shepherd Alliance.

This time, he came to participate in the evaluation for the Qilin Moon Domain’s advancement to a Lower-Rank Immortal Realm.

.....

After a while.

A middle-aged man in a gray-black robe appeared on the stone stage plaza.

Though his attire was simple and his appearance ordinary, his demeanor was extraordinary.

His name was Zhang Xiaofan.

Among the three, his birth rank was the most humble.

He hailed from a very ordinary mortal world and had once been a mere disciple of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

Subsequently, cutting off all worldly attachments, he became the strongest in his world step by step.

Ultimately, by a stroke of luck, he caught the attention of the wandering Celestial Master Zhang.

Through tireless effort, he shaped the Celestial Punishment Domain, developing it into a Great World closely nearing a Lower-Rank Immortal Realm.

In terms of talent, he was at the bottom among the three, but in terms of age, Zhang Xiaofan was three eras older than Xiao Huo and Wang Lin. With the advantage of time, he grew step by step to this stage.

Therefore, he did not hold high hopes for this evaluation and mainly came to the legendary Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm to broaden his horizons and gain experience.

...

The three of them stood opposite one another, each in a different position on the circular stone stage plaza.

The protagonists from three different worlds were linked through the "bond" of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance.

.....

In the next second.

A powerful aura descended upon the place.

A man in a Taoist robe appeared on a high platform of the stone stage plaza, looking down at the three of them.
