Chapter 1724: The Paragon Seeds! (1/2)
Meanwhile...
Ji Cang had hidden every single wisp of his power, with only the brilliant Magnetic Star Crystal shown in his abdomen.
All of his soul awareness and star power were temporarily sealed away in the Magnetic Star Crystal. With secret star magics, he shielded it from any sort of perception.
WHOOSH!
A blackish-violet cloud of Devil Qi suddenly flew over.
At the heart of the cloud was Grand Monarch Heaven Devil, who had shrunken a thousand times. After arriving, his face slowly emerged from the blackish-violet cloud. “What are you still waiting for?”
He was asking Ji Cang!
With a soft laugh, Ji Cang said, “So you’re here. Don’t lose your patience. We’ve waited for so many years. What’s a few more hours?”
Grand Monarch Heaven Devil frowned. “All of those Void Spirits are paragon seeds. Are you just going to let Nie Tian catch them all?”
“Paragon seeds?” Ji Cang said, fixing him with a surprised look. “Paragon seeds guarantee nothing. It’s not like you’ll be guaranteed to become a paragon if you obtain a paragon seed. We know very well how many have obtained paragon seeds over millennia. However, how many of them have actually sprouted, upgraded, and transformed those seeds and eventually joined the ranks of paragons?”
Grand Monarch Heaven Devil pondered in silence for a few seconds before his furrowed brow relaxed, and he said, “Good point.”
“You have nothing to worry about,” Ji Cang said with composure. “What if Nie Tian obtains those paragon seeds? Obtaining paragon seeds isn’t all to one’s transcendence. We still need him to enter the Dark Abyss. We’ll figure out what to do with him after we enter.”
“You’ve been stressing that he’s the key to the opening of and us entering the Dark Abyss,” Grand Monarch Heaven Devil said slowly. “Is it just because of the unique bloodline he carries? Also, did he really get his bloodline from Qin Yao? Qin Yao is from the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. He’s clearly a human! Where did he get the Blood Essence that made him?”
Ji Cang spread his hands and said rascally, “I don’t know about that. I’ve only connected the dots and come to the conclusion that he’s the key to the Dark Abyss. If you want to know the answer to that question, you should go ask Qin Yao, not me.”
“Soul Capturer can’t stop Qin Yao,” Grand Monarch Heaven Devil said.
With a casual smile, Ji Cang said, “Of course I know that, but why do we have to stop him? The battle taking place at that other entrance, all that killing, is a mere preparation for the opening of the Dark Abyss. In the long history of this boundless starry river, how many brilliant grand monarchs have lived before us? And how many wonders have they made happen?
“However, how many of them have achieved soul immortality?
“If Qin Yao somehow manages to join their ranks, then it’d be his luck. However, with you and me here, I doubt that he’ll have that kind of luck. Instead, he’ll probably be one of the largest stepping stones we need to pave our way to the Dark Abyss.
“So why don’t we just let him come?”
SPLASH! SPLASH!
At that moment, numerous souls scattered in the sky over the dark land as brilliant Fragmentary Stars plummeted through it.
Both Grand Monarch Heaven Devil and Ji Cang looked up, and smiles appeared on their faces.
They hadn’t expected Grand Monarch Soul Capturer and Qin Yao to descend at this moment.
Ji Cang took a moment to think before saying to Grand Monarch Heaven Devil, “You may release word of the relationship between Void Spirits and the making of paragons now, and the fact that Nie Tian was here, capturing Void Spirits.
“I suppose anyone will grow feverish after learning that Void Spirits can make paragons, and that many of them are currently whizzing about in this area.”
With an unfathomable look in his eyes, he added, “All lives are greedy by nature. Even you and I can’t resist the temptation of becoming paragons, not to mention them.”
Grand Monarch Heaven Devil nodded. “Okay.”
Many purple lightning wisps that were even finer than hairs scattered and disappeared in different directions.
