I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

Bai Yuyan was skilled in many things, and immediately offered to dance a song for Li Hao to relieve the boredom of the journey.

As for Li Hao, there's no reason not to eat the meat that's offered to him; he's not eating it now because the plate isn't right.

While Bai Yuyan went downstairs to prepare musical instruments and costumes, Li Hao tapped the ring on his hand and said, "Look at this, having the meat in my mouth but not being able to eat it, do you know how frustrated I am?"

"If I can't rebuild my physical body after I get the Chaos Yellow Soil, I'll take it out on you."

Wu Liangsheng remained silent for several seconds before asking, "Is it really necessary?"

"But don't worry, now all that's left is the Chaotic Yellow Earth."

"As long as we get the Chaos Yellow Soil, there will be no problem. Otherwise, I'll give you my head."

Li Hao scoffed, "What use is your head?"

Before long, Bai Yuyan returned.

With the spirit puppets playing music and Bai Yuyan dancing gracefully, the boring journey finally had some entertainment.

Two days later, they arrived at the West Juzhou outpost.

……

Since it was a specially opened spatial passage, the time that would have originally taken more than half a month was compressed into two days.

When Li Hao emerged from the teleportation portal, the first thing he saw was the hazy, gray sky.

It was that kind of overcast day, like the impending storm, carrying a sense of oppression.

But that was in the distance; only their current city was bathed in light.

However, it wasn't much brighter; the sunlight was blocked by thick clouds, and it only appeared brighter in comparison to the overcast skies in other places.

The spiritual energy here was extremely chaotic, and it also carried a putrid stench.

It's likely that the demons used some means to make the spiritual energy here unsuitable for human absorption.

No wonder the demand for pills is so high; they are used to replenish the lost spiritual energy.

Looking at the sky above, Li Hao couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean those overcast skies are all under the territory of the demon race, and our human race only has this one city left?"

Bai Yuyan's face grew more serious: "Indeed, the situation here is not optimistic."

Li Hao laughed: "You call this situation, where an entire continent has fallen and only one city remains, not optimistic? Well, I think you're quite optimistic."

Bai Yuyan explained, "The situation isn't as bad as it looks. We've reduced the area we're holding because we don't have many people here."

"Among the demons, there is a Corpse Demon God who can make the dead serve him, so having a large number of people is actually a burden."

"Those here are mostly established and powerful individuals; quality is more important than quantity."

Li Hao then understood, but he didn't say much about the situation in Xijuzhou. Instead, he said, "Let's go, take me to see that Sunset Sword God."

Bai Yuyan followed Li Hao off the ship. Li Hao then retrieved the flying boat, and Bai Yuyan took the opportunity to complete the handover before quickly leading Li Hao towards the city center.

The massive building in the city center is also the core of the protective array that maintains the city.

Looking back, Li Hao realized that Bai Yuyan's saying, "Quality over quantity," was indeed true.

Earth Soul Realm experts were so numerous that they could be seen everywhere, and there were also quite a few Heaven Soul Realm experts.

Further up in the Unity Realm, I also met two more.

This probably represents the majority of the high-end combat power in the human realm.

Bai Yuyan led Li Hao to an empty room and then left temporarily.

Not long after, she returned with two people.

One of them had sharp, sword-like eyes and an upright posture; it was none other than Zhong Changhong, the Sword God of Sunset.

The other man in the greyish-white robe, with a small mustache, was Chu Baisheng, the Martial God from the Medicine Tower.

The two were keeping their auras concealed at the moment, and from their appearances alone, it was impossible to tell that they were martial gods.

Bai Yuyan introduced the two sides, and then left with Gao Yuanfan, leaving the place to the three of them.

"Young friend Li Hao! I've heard so much about you, it's been a long time coming. I'm so glad you've come today."

Chu Baisheng showed no airs of a martial god and cupped his hands in a very warm gesture.

"The names of Chu Wushen and Zhong Wushen are renowned far and wide."

"Please sit down."

Inviting the two to sit down, Li Hao cut to the chase without any preamble.

"Zhong Wushen, I've heard that you still possess the Chaos Yellow Earth, which you've hidden somewhere. Is this true?"

Zhong Changhong looked meticulous and serious: "Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you."

"But can you really produce another sword like that?"

Li Hao had previously given him a lower-realm alloy sword, which is currently in Chu Baisheng's possession.

Zhong Changhong used it; you can tell from his title of Sunset Sword God that he must be someone who loves and understands swords.

After using the Nether Alloy Sword, he realized that everything he had used before was junk.

Otherwise, why would he exchange Chaotic Yellow Soil, the number one natural treasure in the human world, for it?

Now that he has seen the person, he needs to inspect the goods first.

Li Hao, of course, was straightforward and simply took out a new Netherworld Alloy Sword.

"Zhong Wushen, please."

The moment Zhong Changhong took the sword out, his eyes were glued to it.

When Li Hao handed it to him, he carefully took it and involuntarily held his breath.

Once he had the longsword in his hand, he tried to infuse it with spiritual power. The feeling of being completely unobstructed and incredibly smooth was simply mesmerizing!

Yes, that's the kind of sword!

Chu Baisheng, standing nearby, was also breathing heavily. Such high-level Heaven-rank weapons were treasured by every family, yet Li Hao alone could produce two of them.

This further solidified his suspicion that Li Hao must be from the God Realm.

Moreover, it wasn't because he committed a crime that he was demoted; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hide so many treasures on his person.

So what did he come down here for?

"Zhong Wushen," Li Hao spoke up promptly, "if the items are fine, shouldn't you tell me the whereabouts of the Chaotic Yellow Earth?"

Zhong Changhong snapped out of his daze, reluctantly handing the alloy sword back, and then said seriously, "Of course, but I still need to make things clear to you."

"When I used the Chaos Yellow Soil to break through to the Martial God Realm, I had already used up most of it, and only a small amount remained."

"When the time comes and you see enough, don't think I'm just trying to fool you."

Li Hao waved his hand dismissively. Let alone a small handful, even if only one grain remained, it wouldn't be a problem for Li Hao.

"That's alright. As long as I get the Chaos Yellow Soil, this sword will be yours."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Changhong raised his hand and used his spiritual power to draw a map of the entire Western Continent in the air.

Most of it is gray, except for a small area about the size of a fingertip on the east side near the sea, which is white.

"This is where we are right now, Linhai City."

"And this is where I hide in the chaotic yellow earth."

As Zhong Changhong spoke, a location near the center of the map was highlighted.

Li Hao memorized the location and immediately stood up: "Okay, I'll go take a look now."

He was about to see the guests off when he said that, but he startled the two of them.

Chu Baisheng instinctively grabbed Li Hao and said, "You're going now? There are demons everywhere outside. Even the two of us wouldn't dare to venture in alone. Are you kidding me?"
