Chapter 2768: In The Dream
She pondered over the possibility and looked at her son again. Di Hao was now at the level of a Golden Immortal, but somehow his progress seemed to have been halted. His abilities should have reached a higher milestone, but it seemed to be bound by something.
"Hao Er, come with me." She wanted to test her son’s martial arts, so she took her to the practice arena.
Coincidentally, Mu Feng and the three messengers were also practicing there. They had been really hardworking of late and had all turned into immortals after having experienced a catastrophe. Although they each had the opportunity to ascend to the Upper Bound, they were reluctant to leave their masters. Hence, they all stayed behind.
The four messengers could imagine the lifestyle and culture in the Upper Bound from the way Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi described it. If they were to choose to ascend in their current state, they would be considered very low-ranking immortals up there.
Needless to say, that was also a deterring factor as they did not want to go up and get embarrassed. Therefore, they had been practicing very hard down here in hopes that one day they will be able to ascend with their masters and be in a better position.
As Gu Xijiu and Di Hao approached the arena, Gu Xijiu told them that she was here to test his kung fu. This made Mu Feng and the rest very intrigued, so they wanted to observe the practice at the side.
Di Hao was a bright kid. When he arrived at the arena, he already knew what his mother wanted to do. Nonetheless, he paused for a moment to think about the last time he was in a battle. After he retrieved the dragon’s heart, he realized that his skills grew exceptionally slowly. Also, whenever he practiced, his entire body would ache severely as if some devil was possessing him. He thought to himself that it was perhaps his punishment for changing the course of events.
