Chapter 553 - – Promoting the Way of the Sword (1/2)
In response to Old Ancestor Hongshi’s question, Zhou Xuanji directly answered, “I don’t.”
If he went to provoke a Heavenly Saint right now, he would be undoubtedly seeking death.
Old Ancestor Hongshi narrowed his eyes and smiled as he said, “Heavenly Lord Xuantie has sworn to destroy the Wanshen Great Thousand. I fought him to a draw, but he won’t let things go like this.”
Zhou Xuanji looked at him and asked, “What exactly do you want? Just say it.”
Old Ancestor Hongshi did not show any hostile intent, and he instead had a look of appreciation in his eyes; he could roughly guess at his intentions.
“Become my chess piece; I will help you search for Heavenly Law Violet Qi and support you to become a Saint. How about that?” Old Ancestor Hongshi said as he chuckled. He directly revealed his goal.
Zhou Xuanji asked, “If I become your chess piece, I have to act against Heavenly Lord Xuantie?”
Old Ancestor Hongshi glared at him and said grumpily, “Are you that scared?”
Zhou Xuanji sighed.
It was not good to be too outstanding; wherever he went, there were people who wanted to snatch him.
He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Do you have any methods for me to quickly reach Universe Heaven Level 18?”
Old Ancestor Hongshi said in annoyance, “Don’t try to take shortcuts. I’m giving you a task to unify the Wanshen Great Thousand and wield the Wanshen Great Thousand’s Fate!”
Zhou Xuanji asked, “Why?”
Even though he was quite powerful, he did not have the desire to control the Wanshen Great Thousand for now.
Emperor Sword Court was still developing, and he did not want to take steps that were too big.
Old Ancestor Hongshi said with profound intent, “Fate is the only thing that Heavenly Saints fight over. Now that Sage Daojing has left, the other Heavenly Saints will definitely try to snatch Fate. As Heavenly Saints, we cannot personally act.”
Could not personally act?
Then what was Heavenly Lord Xuantie doing?
Old Ancestor Hongshi did not explain, and he continued, “When you rule over the Wanshen Great Thousand, I will pass on to you a divine ability and supreme treasure, making you invincible below Heavenly Saints.”
…
After saying this, Old Ancestor Hongshi hurriedly left.
Zhou Xuanji shook his head and laughed; just who was this fellow?
He gave him a task but did not even leave his name, and he did not give a time limit for the task.
He did not bother thinking too much about it and continued onwards towards the Wanshen Great Thousand.
…
In the boundless starry sky, eight figures traveled side by side. Among them were Old Ancestor Hongshi and Heavenly Lord Xuantie.
The eight Heavenly Saints!
Their expressions were serious as they looked to the depths of the universe.
“Did you all sense it?” Heavenly Lord Xuantie said in a low voice, feeling quite unsettled.
The seven other Heavenly Saints all nodded.
They all sensed an extremely dangerous aura at the end of the universe.
They did not dare to get close and could only look at it from afar.
“Could it be that there are really other existences beyond the Heavenly Law?”
“Didn’t Sage Daojing go to find a path that exceeds Saints? Could that aura be him?”
“No, it’s impossible. Even if Sage Daojing obtained a fortuitous opportunity, he would not go through such a massive change.”
“Are there any abnormal signs above the 36th heaven?”
“What should we do? Should we take a look?”
The Heavenly Saints talked among themselves. Some people wanted to investigate, while others did not want to take the risk.
The mysterious and unknown existence made the Heavenly Saints not know what to do.
In the end, they did not have the courage to step out. The reason why the Heavenly Saints were undying and unkillable was because they were attached to the Heavenly Law.
