With no one left to protect, he had sunk into grief and self-reproach.
It was not until he met Shen Mu, who untied the knot in his heart, that he stepped out and became once again the Human Sovereign who led his people forward in search of hope. In a very short time, he broke through to the Jade Capital Realm.
Exposure to the Jingping Reform only made his cultivation speed faster! Gao Huaitong and the First Ancestor traded speed for speed, and within a few breaths they had already reached the point of deciding victory and death!
At that moment, Gao Huaitong's aura suddenly surged, rising straight to the Imperial Throne Realm. The First Ancestor, the Human Sovereign, changed countenance slightly and withdrew at once; Gao Huaitong did not pursue.
The reason he had raised his cultivation to the Imperial Throne level was to make the other retreat before difficulty. The life-and-death struggle just now had been extremely perilous.
He could see signs that he was about to be defeated. Even if he had fought the First Ancestor to mutual ruin, his dignity would not have held up well, so he had simply risen to the Imperial Throne Realm, forcing the First Ancestor to retreat and preserving a little face.
Even so, his pride was still somewhat wounded.
He was about to say something diplomatic, but the First Ancestor did not spare him a glance; instead, his gaze came to rest on Shen Mu's face.
Shen Mu laughed heartily, rose to his feet, and waved his hand. "Nephew Gao, you may withdraw.
Dealing with him requires me in person! "
A stifled frustration swelled in Gao Huaitong's chest, hard to release.
"The way you talk," he thought, "you might as well be standing up for us!
And yet you're the one who brought them here to blockade our gates! "
