Chapter 213 - Paths (2/2)

Their grandfather was a grand elder at the sixth-floor Heavenly Genesis Realm. He had sufficient clout to make decisions and influence his talented descendants' rise. However, Yun Baili's failure left a gap of trust, especially after Yan Zaizen hid in the insufferably difficult chaotic space.

”I will redeem myself, Mother.” His tone turned slightly more obedient. He was aware of his fault. Therefore, he had no intention to fail again.

”As long as you do,” she snappily said, ”for now, your father has devised a plan. Unfortunately, you'll be in direct competition with the other forces. Be sure to succeed.”

She stopped her steps, looked deeply into those bright eyes and her tone turned heavier than the world itself, ”YOU can NOT fail! Or else, it's better if you don't come back.” With that, she waved her hand at him and walked away.

He slightly bowed, remaining silent. After a while, his gaze flickered with an unprecedented level of resolve but also deep rage. He thought, ”I won't fail. However, when the trial starts, I'll be the one to participate. Not him! When I return, let's see if you dare have such an attitude towards me!” With a slight tremble, he walked in the opposite direction.

”Haaa…” Yan Zaizen sighed. On the deck of the realmship, he looked outwards at empty blackness that was chaotic space.

Three hundred and sixty-three years have passed since their decision to cultivate. During this time, Yan Zaizen, Tao, and Bai Lufeng had diligently cultivated without any care for resource waste or usage. Despite this, a formless pressure enveloped his body.

In the outside world, three and a half years had passed. While they cultivated, it seems the senses of those Heavenly Commanders had never left his general vicinity. Being under constant watch made him feel nervous.

Soft steps echoed behind him as Tao arrived. Tao had undergone a complete change. In the span of fifty or sixty years, Tao went from half-step Origin Core Realm to late-Origin Core Realm. During which, Yan Zaizen's available resources only kept growing in quantity and quality.

Now, while cultivating for over three hundred years, he has ascended to the mid-True Essence Realm. With Yan Zaizen's recent breakthrough, they both were at the same level of cultivation once more.

The reason Tao's realm didn't exceed mid-stage was due to his sudden shift in priorities. While cultivating in chaotic space, he gleaned insight into an aspect of spatial laws. He developed a conceptual law!

Spatial Point of Endless Force!

It embodied a portion of Yan Zaizen' Spatial Form of Infinite Stability, but only the ripping force of chaotic space! This delayed his qi cultivation base by quite a bit, but to comprehend and focus on an upper-tier World Law wasn't an incorrect decision.

”You sense it too?” Tao remarked, looking in the direction of Yan Zaizen's gaze.

”Mhm. They're setting up a formation to inverse chaotic space with the spatial void, then another to interact with the spatial void and seal it, forcing us out during the transition.” Yan Zaizen's abilities enabled him to sense clearly the happenings of the outside world. During these three years, the gigantus forces were not idle. Instead, they conjured up a way to force Yan Zaizen out from hiding.

In chaotic space, Yan Zaizen was too difficult to follow or find. It wasn't safe to send anyone but top spatial cultivators to do so. In that case, they decided to devise a method to force him out instead.

Tao understood this. He comprehended a concept of chaotic space and felt a deep connection with it over these years. The formation was connecting with it at this very moment. If it activated, they would likely suffer.

”Running is likely impossible,” Tao surmised his assumption. In truth, with Heavenly Commanders on watch, it's unlikely they could escape. He looked towards Yan Zaizen and added, ”should we ditch the token?”

”The token was given to me by someone. Our fates may have touched briefly, but I'm unwilling to give it to anyone besides her. Even if gods and devils demanded it, I wouldn't yield.” Yan Zaizen calmly stated his intentions with a shake of his head.

Tao softly nodded. As someone who was bestowed Yan Zaizen's dao and knew his mantra of 'what's his is never anyone else's, nor should they touch it,' it's unlikely he would simply fold here.

”What's the plan?”

”This token is designed to connect to another token. I believe that the token belongs to her. It's probably the people Yun Baili was hindering earlier. Perhaps, we just need to wait by stalling,” Yan Zaizen assessed. His gaze towards that spot grew colder and colder.

Unfortunately, he didn't know of Ma Xiuren's weakness. The strongest expert she had was Jun Lei, a half-dead fourth-floor Heavenly Genesis cultivator.

”Fight. If the world refuses to open up a path, you make one yourself.” Pinaka tyrannical voice resounded in his soul.

Yan Zaizen revealed an innocent smile, but his eyes were colder than ice.
