“Since Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan has the fire seed of the Huaxia civilization, he is one of us. There’s no need to doubt him!” Patriarch Jun Tian stood and backed Fang Yuan immediately.
“All right, all right…” Seeing this, Patriarch Hu Tian sighed. “This young man appearing and stirring things up also means that it’s not your time to die yet… Jun Tian, do you still want to fight me?”
Patriarch Jun Tian took a deep breath and said aloud, “We have to fight as long as there is Dao!”
“Then let’s explore that place after ten turns of the hourglass. We’ll fight to the death there. This was originally a matter between our two sides, but it seems like we’ll involve the greatest existence in the Final Destination. Haha…”
Patriarch Hu Tian laughed happily, then flicked his sleeve, and brought many Dao Ancestors away.
“Let’s head back too!” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian returned to Dao Ancestor City with the remaining Huaxia Dao Ancestors. It was now in ruins, and even the steles were not spared, with most of them collapsed.
Dao Ancestor Jun Tian invited Fang Yuan to a cave abode. The two of them sat opposite each other, with only another Dao Ancestor present.
“This is Dao Ancestor Qing Ji from the Shennong family… He’s also the only one from Huaxia at the second realm other than you and me!” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian sighed.
“Greetings to Dao Ancestor Qing Ji!” Fang Yuan bowed his head formally and waited quietly for what was to come next.
“Huaxia and Huxia were originally one. There might be some hatred in the outside world, but what does that matter in this Final Destination? I never thought that we would become enemies again because of some unexpected coincidences and the provocation of a villain.”
“I was going to ask Dao Ancestor why.” Fang Yuan was baffled. It was impossible for Wang She to cause so much damage.
“You’ve probably guessed some of it already. It has to do with breaking through to the third realm!” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian did not have the intention to conceal anything and disclosed everything out honestly. “Hu Tian and I were probably the first to break through to the second realm here, but we haven’t been able to refine the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss into our natural sources even with all our painstaking efforts. This is no longer our problem, but because of an external factor. Therefore, we focused our attention on researching foreign objects…”
“Void beasts?” Fang Yuan immediately got to the right answer.
“Right, them!” Patriarch Jun Tian praised. “Most of these void beasts are only storing the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss, and every once in a while, they must make a pilgrimage to a place of grave danger! Therefore, we suspect that there is a true natural source of the power of the Great Cosmological Abyss among these places of grave danger! Hu Tian and I joined forces and really found a place that fits. However, that place is too dangerous. We weren’t fully prepared and could only retreat. Everything afterward is like what you know.”
Fang Yuan frowned and asked his questions, “All the contradictions naturally revolve around that natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss… Can it only be used by one person? And after refining it, can it really be integrated into the Dao Fruit to break through to the third realm?”
“No one knows these answers, but to Hu Tian and me, this is the most probable route since all other routes have failed…” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian shook his head. “As for the amount of natural source, it’s just speculation. But Hu Tian firmly believes that only one person can break through in the Great Cosmological Abyss, and he has to take advantage of all luck and chances. This is where the contradiction stems from, coupled with the instigation from a villain to take action first, and thus the changes today…”
The forces of Huaxia and Huxia were roughly equal originally, with Huaxia slightly in the lead.
However, today, they had clearly fallen for the plot and lost the initiative, causing the loss of the Phoenix and Azure Dragon, two almighties, suffering heavy losses.
“Is the place that Patriarch Hu Tian mentioned before he left referring to this place?” Fang Yuan asked immediately.
“Exactly…” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian stroked his beard. “Huxia is actually disadvantaged now that you’ve joined us, little friend… Hu Tian is probably going to search for foreign aid. I can only reveal this information to some of my friends to counterbalance his act. However, this matches my original intention. With this many almighties working together, we will definitely defeat this place of grave danger and obtain the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss. And there should be more than one core of the Final Destination. Perhaps more people can break through…”
“This is the best scenario… Presumably, even if everyone can work together until they reach the natural source of the Great Cosmological Abyss, another chaotic battle will ensue afterward…” Fang Yuan sighed as well. Then he stood up immediately and bowed solemnly to Dao Ancestor Jun Tian. “I would like to join you in going to the place of grave danger.”
“Little friend is talented. If I were to unfortunately lose in this battle, I hope you can be the leader of Huaxia. Moreover, you are new to the second realm…” Patriarch Jun Tian tried to persuade.
“I will give my life for the Dao!” Fang Yuan, however, was very determined.
Being able to break through to the second realm was already a great blessing from the Final Destination to him. He did not have the slightest confidence in breaking through to the third realm.
Moreover, these two peak Dao Ancestors had confirmed that they reached their limits and would be unable to break through. He did not think he was above them.
It looked like the only way for a Dao Ancestor to break through to the third realm was in the nest of these void beasts, in the place of grave danger.
“All right.” Dao Ancestor Jun Tian smiled. “Whatever you want. You’ll be another strength for us. Now go along with Qing Ji. I’m going to let an old friend know!”
“I’ll take my leave!” Fang Yuan bowed again and exited the cave abode with Dao Ancestor Qing Ji.
“Fellow Daoist Fang Yuan, if you don’t have accommodations in Dao Ancestor City, would you like to stay with me temporarily?”
Dao Ancestor Qing Ji was a middle-aged man with the temperament of an old farmer. He dressed in green, calm and rustic.
“It would be disrespectful to reject your offer.” Fang Yuan might possess a residence in Dao Ancestor City, but it was only the worst kind. He naturally agreed to the invitation, went to Dao Ancestor Qing Ji’s cave abode, and tasted the five-grain tea he brought out.
“Seeing that Fellow Daoist has the fire seed of the Huaxia civilization in hand, the universe…” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji started talking but became hesitant.
Fang Yuan sighed. There was nothing to hide about it, so he said it directly, “I went to the Huaxia Universe, but it was already regressing into void…”
“Is that so…” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji was startled for a fraction of a second before smiling again. “It’s okay. My homeland is where the civilization is. The radiance of our Huaxia civilization has spread throughout the entire Great Cosmological Abyss. I shouldn’t be in this state of mind. Moreover, the Huaxia Universe has already evolved three times prior to this. Restarting with a fourth fire seed isn’t something bad. In fact, the light of civilization can condense a second fire seed even if one were to die out. It’s just that the Dao Ancestor True Spirits residing within would perish together…”
“I see!” Fang Yuan could not help listening with relish to the secrets from Dao Ancestor Qing Ji.
“It turns out that Dao Ancestor Jun Tian and Dao Ancestor Hu Tian look similar because they are blood brothers. Afterward, they angrily went separate ways because their ideals differed… I have another question that I would like to ask Dao Ancestor!” Fang Yuan listened to more gossip for a while before putting forth his question. “I wonder how many Dao Ancestors at the second realm are there in this Final Destination?”
Ordinary Dao Ancestors might not know the answer to this, but the leaders of Dao Ancestor City had to know.
“The second realm is the Create realm. In the Final Destination, you can move mountains and reclaim seas with it. Someone with this great power can defeat thousands of Dao Ancestors with the flick of a finger, which is naturally no small matter. Unfortunately, three of them perished today, and there are currently less than ten left…”
The ones who fell were the Phoenix, the Azure Dragon, and one from the Huxia Universe.
Of course, all of them benefited Fang Yuan.
“In terms of strength, Dao Ancestor Hu Tian and Dao Ancestor Jun Tian are at the pinnacle, and the others can hardly match them… The rest of us have similar cultivation levels. Fellow Daoist will be able to hold your own even if you encounter them…”
According to Dao Ancestor Qing Ji, other than the ones that Fang Yuan knew, there was another Lord Savage in the Huxia camp.
There were also Dao Ancestors Myriad Mountain, Thousand-Eye, and Feng Hua outside of Dao Ancestor City.
“Among them, Dao Ancestor Myriad Mountain and Dao Ancestor Thousand-Eye are good friends of Dao Ancestor Hu Tian, while Dao Ancestor Feng Hua is on intimate terms with Dao Ancestor Jun Tian… In addition, there may be one or two hidden ones as well…”
After all, the Final Destination was neither big nor small. It was impossible to tell everyone’s cultivations at a glance, so there could be some that had slipped through the net.
“In that case, the combination of ten almighties taking out a void beast lair shouldn’t be much of a problem, right?” Fang Yuan calmed down and smiled.
“Void beast lairs are naturally very dangerous, so much so that the patriarch calls them places of grave danger. They must be places where even those at the second realm can fall easily…”
Dao Ancestor Qing Ji smiled. “One or two ordinary void beasts are nothing, but once there are more of them, it will become troublesome… The key is that there could be a void beast king, which is completely comparable to a second-realm Dao Ancestor! And the place of grave danger has the Emperor Beast!”
“Emperor Beast?! You mean the emperor of the void beasts?” Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
“That’s right. The Emperor Beast can be considered the greatest danger in the Final Destination. It’s even more powerful than the patriarch. Of course, it has yet to break through to the final realm. Otherwise, all of the Dao Ancestors in the Final Destination would probably be unable to escape its grasp. As long as the patriarch and Dao Ancestor Hu Tian work together, I’m sure they can kill it!” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji was very confident in Dao Ancestor Jun Tian.
“Such grave danger. No wonder it’s called the place of grave danger…” Fang Yuan sighed, knowing that he would be courting death if he were to sneak in by himself.
“So, does Fellow Daoist want to give up on the idea?” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji’s eyes burnt brightly, obviously wanting Fang Yuan to retreat from the difficulty.
This was not malicious, but out of goodwill.
After all, if they were to fail and everyone died, the Huaxia force outside would be lost without a leader, unless Fang Yuan could still lead them.
“Although it’s dangerous, I still have to go!” Fang Yuan smiled and firmly refused. “There might be only a one in a million chance, but I would also like to have a glimpse of the realm beyond Dao Ancestor…”
“In that case, I will say no further. I hope you get what you want!!” Dao Ancestor Qing Ji sighed quietly.
