“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.
