Yin Yang Saint Lord no longer cared about his dignity. In fact, he didn’t really care because he didn’t think it was important nor he would feel ashamed when being discovered by other experts. ‘I’ll just initiate a bloodshed throughout the world after the end of this calamity so that a new group of creatures would replace the old one. This is easy, isn’t it? As for me escaping? F*ck! I’ve basically spent all my energy. Although a Saint can connect the world and recover at a faster pace, can my recovery speed faster than this brat coming over?It’s better to drag time when escaping is akin to courting death.’
“Help us, master!” Five Elemental Saint Lord cried out too. In fact, other than the three Saint Lord who were dead, he was the most miserable among all. Not only was his sect destroyed, all the disciples he had cultivated for hundreds and millions of years were dead. Moreover, he had lost the Twelve-Graded Green Lotus, and the origin of his Five Elemental Pine Needle Tree was destroyed.
‘Damn it, I’m doomed.’ If he hadn’t gone to the side of Yin Yang Saint Lord unashamedly, he would have mostly died just like the Verdant Sky Saint Lord, and the Inversion Saint Lord.
“Do you all think he will show up?” Jiang Ming turned his hand, and grabbed the dimmed Apocalypse Great Grinder, and the Gobbling Gourd over. He didn’t feel much struggle from the two.
“You’re from the Sea of Chaos, aren’t you?” The Creation Saint Lord suddenly spoke while her pair of beautiful eyes intended to see through Jiang Ming. Nevertheless, with her cultivation base only at the Saint Realm, it was difficult even for her to see through Jiang Ming’s nature.
“Oh, why do you say so?” Jiang Ming said as he continued walking towards them. Above him was the Zhentian Tower and in his hand was the Golden Obsidian. His aura remained as intimidating as it was.
“You’ve got the Saint Power, Saint Soul, Saint Laws, and Saint Weapons except Saint Dao. Such a weird situation can only be seen in the legendary inheritance of the Sea of Chaos.” As the Creation Saint Lord said, she slightly startled and blurted, “You’re taking the path of World Dao. Yes, it’s the World Dao. Such a possibility can occur only with World Dao.”
“World Dao? That’s right! Only the World Dao! Why didn’t I think of it!” The Five Elemental Saint Lord expressed his chagrin. “Alas, the World Dao! First opens a world within the body, then transforms it from illusional one to the real one before continuing evolving the inner world. As the origin of the inner world is akin to the Natural Laws of Heaven, he’s using the power akin to the Natural Laws of Heaven. The Great Overarching Laws, and the Saint Power, don’t they correspond to the middle chiliocosm?”
“Did you say the middle chiliocosm? The Natural Laws of Heaven are equivalent to the Saint Power. When the laws are of the Great Overarching Realm, and the soul is nurtured by the Natural Laws of Heaven, reaching the level of Saint Soul, which corresponds completely.” The scales fell from Yin Yang Saint Lord’s eyes, and then revealed a more intense fear. “The Dao Patriarch used to say that the path of World Dao is almost a dead end. Although there are experts who manage to go through, the Dao Patriarch only knew one. To think that you are capable of evolving your inner world to the level of middle chiliocosm, your background must be…”
Yin Yang Saint Lord was trembling. He knew that the World Dao, which was supposed to be a dead end, would definitely leave all beings in despair unless he was to have sky-defying encounters, massive resources, and the support of Supreme Experts.
At this moment, all of them raised their heads. An abrupt sound of immortality rang out from heaven, heavenly flowers fell down, and the violet qi permeated 30,000,000 miles through the sky.
The goddess condensed out of thin air, blowing the big Dharma conch, and beating the Dharma drum. Four sacred beasts even appeared, surrounded by three thousand sacred beasts.
An elder was descending from the sky. Every step he took, a golden lotus appeared beneath his foot. The golden lotus wouldn’t dissipate after he stepped past but imprinted in the void, becoming an unique view.
The elder’s hair was fluttering, while his silver whisker was rippling. At a glance, he made people respect from the heart, admire from the soul, and also made people think that he is the Dao, the law, and the starting point of everything. He was the Dao Patriarch.
“Greetings, master!” The three Saint Lords immediately bowed to pay their respects. They were very respectful.
“Alas, the three of you!” The Dao Patriarch pointed at the three, somewhat angrily. “Not knowing etiquette, not loving yourself, intriguing among you, and conspiring before the enemy.”
“Fellow Daoist, I’m sorry for that!” The Dao Patriarch clasped his hands towards Jiang Ming.
“Fellow Daoist, this world, and life, are a joke anyway. You don’t have to feel sorry for that!” Jiang Ming returned the Dao Patriarch’s greetings, beaming.
Nevertheless, Jiang Ming’s first impression of the Dao Patriarch was not good. After all, the Dao Patriarch, as the strongest Saint in the world, and the master of the other six Saints, should have appeared immediately when his disciples were in trouble. Yet, he showed up only after the surviving three pleaded. Following that, he gave ambiguous comments to his three disciples.
Jiang Ming didn’t think that the actions that the Dao Patriarch had taken was a responsible one.
Jiang Ming called up the Human Path Records, and flipped to the page of the Dao Patriarch.
Name: Xing Chen (Hei Tian)
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Saint Realm
Background: The Dao Patriarch of the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm
Relationship: -88
Status: At the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth, there was an innate spiritual root that was the treasure tree of stars, showing the genus of the astral stars. It had great fortune, luck, and spirituality because it was favored by heaven and earth.
: It bore 365 fruits, each of which contained a kind of heaven and earth’s Dao origin. As they matured, they didn’t fall on their own but being refined into itself.
: Finally, it transformed into a being, and called himself the Daoist Xing Chen.
: Because of his innate talent, he could evoke 365 laws. Besides, he could cultivate at an incomparably fast speed. Soon he became famous among the savage innate saints. He also made a name for himself and became a member of the group of top experts.
: He had been quietly cultivating without fighting and competing against others until he advanced to the peak stage of Quasi-Sage Realm. Then, he reached a bottleneck.
: In order to advance further, he began to fight the world. The struggle was endless, but the road ahead was vast and he did not know how to move forward.
: One day, he was very quiet and thoughtful, so he went for a walk in the Chaos, hoping to get some opportunities. However, he met with the chaotic storm and was dragged into it. Fortunately, he managed to escape and survived. He then discovered a unique place.
: Ahead of him was Chaos Thunder bombarding a land shrouded in green light. Each Chaos Thunder struck was extraordinarily horrifying, and was capable of killing him.
: Xing Chen felt a chill down his spine. When he was about to elude, he discovered that the Chaos Thunder quickly plunged into the depths of Chaos and disappeared without a trace.
: He knew that it should be like a chaotic storm, very erratic.
: The green light ahead turned dim, but Xing Chen couldn:t see it clearly. Even though he was very curious, he knew with his capability, he couldn’t reap anything from it. When he was about to leave, a fissure was seen on the green light. A phantom was seen flying out from it, and merged into his sea of consciousness with a flash.
: Xing Chen was shocked. He also learned that the phantom was a remnant soul. Even though it was just a wisp of it, its essence was so powerful that he couldn’t easily efface it.
: The wisp of the remnant soul wanted to replace him, but it couldn’t do anything about it.
: Xing Chen had spent thousands of years trying to merge the wisp of soul with his innate supreme treasure, and finally succeeded.
: As a result, he learned a lot of things, and his personal character underwent a huge change subtly.
: The wisp of the remnant soul was called Hei Tian. The land which he saw shrouded in green light, was a fragment of a land smashed by a great war in the Sea of Chaos. It was shrouded by the remnant formation, and drifted over. Who knew how many thousands of years for the fragment to get there.
: The wisp of the remnant soul managed to elude only by striking the green light with the Chaos Thunder. Unfortunately after hundreds of millions of years of wear and tear, Hei Tain’s remnant soul was extremely weary.
: Xing Chen also knew that the fragment of the remnant land ahead not only had supreme Sain Weapon, but also peerless inheritance, and even supreme immortal treasures that had been nurtured for hundreds and millions of years. Unfortunately, he would be killed if he was to enter with his own strength.
: The power of the remnant formation was too terrific. Even experts of the Saint Realm would mostly be killed for trespassing.
: After he got the method to become a Saint, he returned to the Xuanhuang Great Chiliocosm based on his senses. Not long later, he managed to sanctify his path of Dao and became a Saint.
: He wanted to kill the Yin Yang Great Monarch and the other few who had the potential to sanctify their path of Dao. But because he thought that he could take them with him to the place of encounter, and let them block the calamity on his behalf after he helped them to sanctify their path of Dao.
: Therefore, he not only didn’t kill them, he also taught them how to sanctify their path of Dao.
: The six of them gradually sanctified their path of Dao, and became a Saint themselves.
: Xing Chen had been visiting the place of encounter himself frequently. Based on the memory of Hei Tian and his investigation, he discovered the weakness of the remnant formation. He learned that after every period of time, the power of the formation would be inevitablyweakened. He knew this was the critical point for him to break into the land.
: He was not in a rush anyway. He cultivated till the perfect stage of the Saint Realm, and comprehended various supreme laws. He was about to be well-prepared. After a period of time, it would be the moment when the remnant formation got weakened.
: Who knew a foreigner would get here.
: The foreigner appeared out of thin air without even going through the world’s membrane? This was really strange. This kid must be of some strong background. Let’s just see how it went!
: He had the power of Saint, and the Saint Soul yet only mastered Great Overarching Law? It’s easy to guess that he was of the World Dao, and alas, his inner world had advanced into the level of middle chiliocosm!
: He must be of the Sea of Chaos, and his background must be very strong. I wonder if he was related to that treasure land?
: Shall I take my move since he wanted to kill the Five Elemental?
: No, I’m a Dao Patriarch. How can I shamelessly appear in between the fights of the younger generation?
: Yin Yang and the rest indeed couldn’t hold back anymore when they saw the various treasures that kid had with him. These few are full of conspiracy and calculations, and they don’t have much respect for me, yet thinking that I don’t know.
: It’s okay, let them just test that kid on my behalf.
: Damn, he actually killed Reincarnation in an instant.
: Shall I take my move? No, I must not.
: He actually could detonate Quasi-Sage Dao Vessels! Such a technique seemed to be present in the memory of Hei Tian though it was not in detail. Anyway, I’m more assured that this kid comes from the Sea of Chaos.
: Even the Verdant Sky and Inversion are dead. Well, let them be. They are just a few dunderheads.
: This wicked Yin Yang, actually begged me to save him. Such an unshameful brat. Can’t you just hold on a little, and self-detonate to commit suicide while dragging him with you? Even if you fail to kill him, you’d have created better conditions for your master.
: What shall I do?
: Shall I kill him? This kid must be of some great background. Once I killed him, what shall I do if I were to attract the expert behind him?
: Damn it! With his cruel character, this brat wouldn’t let me go anyway. In this case, let’s just take my move first. I shall kill him and refine him to become a puppet of mine. Then, I shall take him to that fragment of ruin of war. Once I’ve obtained the benefits there, I’ll certainly break through the Saint Realm and advance into a higher realm. By that time, I shall venture into the Sea of Chaos.
After Jiang Ming had read the ‘Status’ of the Dao Patriarch, he finally understood the weirdness of the world.
The Dao Patriarch was the main cause of the infighting among the six Saints. The weirdness of the Dao Patriarch was due to him refining, to be exact, it was merging the remnant soul of Hei Tian, hence distorted his characters and will.
Since he hadn’t had righteous motives to begin with, he wasn’t truly sincere to his disciples.
These six Saints should have sensed it in addition to the previous grudges they had against each other, they didn’t really respect their master. However, because they were attracted by the benefits of the secret realm the Dao Patriarch had been promising, they didn’t go into the Sea of Chaos.
‘This is interesting to learn that the remnant of the Sea of Chaos can’t even be broken through by the Dao Patriarch Xing Chen!’
As Jiang Ming had thoughts running through his mind, he turned to the Dao Patriarch Xing Chen. His eyes were glittering with hints of killing intent.
