So mysteries from Ancient Tis are now difficult to uncover without understanding their background, always left to conjecture.
Fortunately, this journey was filled with surprises but no disasters.
Although in the Divine Envoy's mory, Han Zheng had gone through battles, he had co through them and even gained so life-or-death fighting experience. Was it a blessing or a curse?
"Right, I suspect the black shadow in the tomb chamber is the obsession left behind by the Divine Envoy after his death.
But what does it an for him to give this jade pendant and point west?"
Yan Xuankong glanced at the jade pendant and didn't notice anything amiss.
However, he guessed the Divine Envoy's intention.
"Can't you see? The Divine Envoy wants you to return this jade pendant to the place they once departed from, their holand.
Why do you think the Divine Envoy pulled you into his mories? To , it seems like a test.
You passed the Divine Envoy's test by traveling from their holand to Smoke Wave Lake, where the divine are buried, which proves you're capable of making the journey back.
So he gave you this jade pendant to return it to his holand for him."
Han Zheng, recalling the various routes within the illusion and calculating the distance based on his speed, then wryly said, "Do you know where the Divine Envoy's holand is? If my calculations are correct, it's beyond Demon Suppression Pass, in the Northwest Wilderness, the land of a myriad of demons!"
Yan Xuankong responded lightly, "Don't make a fuss. What's the big deal about the Northwest Wilderness? Don't underestimate the madn guarding Demon Suppression Pass.
Not only are demons frequently attacking the pass, but sotis those madn, out of sheer boredom, even venture into the land of myriad demons themselves on hunting expeditions.
Otherwise, where do you think all those demon cores and spiritual dicines from outside the pass co from in Great Zhou?
If you get a chance to enter Demon Suppression Pass, you can naturally proceed into the Northwest Wilderness. By then, just return the jade pendant. Besides, the Divine Envoy didn't set a ti limit, did he?
And he isn't letting you take this for nothing; didn't he say he gave you sothing?"
As Han Zheng walked along the tomb path, he asked, "Do you think Cui Zeyuan also experienced the Divine Envoy's mories?"
Yan Xuankong replied, "I don't know, but even if he did, with his skills, he would probably have died halfway and been eliminated.
Why do you think the Divine Envoy made you experience his mories? He wished to find soone capable of traveling from his holand to Smoke Wave Lake with him.
However, the world has changed over eons; the current era isn't like his ancient one with autonomous nations and tribes, nor are there as many terrifying ancient giant beasts.
In Great Zhou, even though there are dangers and demons, as long as one sticks to the official roads, problems generally don't arise.
Not just Martial Artists from the Dan Sea Realm, but even ordinary people with so luck can travel safely.
The real difficulty lies in his holand, which now has completely beco the land of myriad demons."
Nodding, Han Zheng walked for a short while and entered a small room.
Inside the room was only one thing.
On a round column sat a stone box containing sothing made of a strange material.
Like stone but not stone, like wood but not wood, it was palm-sized, seemingly a fragnt of an oval object.
Han Zheng, feeling a sense of familiarity with the item, suddenly rembered sothing and blurted out, "A fragnt of the Supre Tao Fruit!"
This item was precisely the fragnt of the Supre Tao Fruit that the Blood Wolf Thieves had snatched from the Sll Fragrance Sect in the past.
"You know about the Supre Tao Fruit fragnts?"
Yan Xuankong was imdiately startled.
This item, even valuable to those at the heavenly level, should be unknown to a Demon Sweeping Captain like Han Zheng.
"Previously, the Blood Wolf Thieves seized this fragnt of the Supre Tao Fruit from the Sll Fragrance Sect and fled to Southern Mountain. My Demon Cleansing Bureau intervened, wiped out the remaining thieves, and the fragnt then ca into my possession."
With Yan Xuankong in such a state, there was no need for Han Zheng to keep these things from him.
After hearing the explanation, Yan Xuankong sighed in awe, "What a great destiny! Does this not an you now have two Dao seed fragnts?"
Han Zheng held the Dao seed fragnt in his hand, and in an instant, it was devoured by the Taotie Furnace.
[Received special item: Dao seed fragnt. Collect Dao seed fragnts to complete the Dao seed and plant it within the soul to nourish it with origin power, and it can produce a Supre Tao Fruit.]
At this mont, Han Zheng could feel that the Dao seed fragnt in his mind had roughly ford a circle, although a small piece was still missing.
"Still missing a piece, are these Dao seed fragnts of different sizes? The one I seized from the Blood Wolf Thieves was half, and this piece is slightly smaller, seems like a third.
What if the next one I find is even smaller? It seems like my Dao seed won't be complete."
Yan Xuankong replied, "That won't happen. As long as you can find another Dao seed fragnt, you will definitely be able to piece together a complete Dao seed."
"Why?"
"Because the Dao seed is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, condensed by origin power.
One begets two, two beget three, and three beget all things.
Conversely, three rge into two, two rge into one, and one is the origin of heaven and earth.
Thus, a Dao seed can only be divided into two or three parts. This is a law of the rules."
Speaking of which, Yan Xuankong's tone carried a hint of envy, "You really have an incredible destiny, to be able to obtain two of such treasures like the Dao seed fragnts at this level.
You know, most martial artists start looking for Dao seed fragnts only when they reach the Yang God Realm, because only in the Yang God Realm can one nurture a Dao seed.
When I first learned of the Dao seed, I didn't even inquire about it, because I knew how hard it was to find it.
So martial artists keep searching from the Yang God Realm, and only when they reach the Heavenly Position are they able to collect the complete Dao seed."
Han Zheng asked, "What exactly is a Dao seed? And what kind of powers will nurturing Dao seed fragnts yield? I've previously searched through so materials in the Guardian Storage of Southern Mountain, but found only fragnts of information with no detailed descriptions."
Yan Xuankong pondered for a mont, then said solemnly, "The Dao seed, by its origin, is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, condensed by origin power, an innate divine object.
To put it simply, a Dao seed contains a powerful force not belonging to human warriors, sothing that cannot be cultivated through Martial Arts.
Nurturing a Dao seed, producing a Tao fruit, what does the Tao fruit contain? It contains the supre divine skills, transford from the rules of heaven and earth!
Moreover, there are no two identical Tao fruits in the world. The divine skills born from each matured Tao fruit are unique.
Although controlled by martial artists, these divine skills do not belong to Martial Arts.
There are even rumors that the Tao fruit does not originally belong to the Human Clan but was controlled by the ancient deities and demons.
Therefore, so say the Tao fruit contains the secrets to becoming a deity.
However, in my view, this is purely speculation; no one has successfully proven it.
Despite being rare, there have been strong individuals throughout history who have collected the Tao fruit and nurtured supre divine skills. During my era, there were quite a few.
Especially Martial Saint Yu Jiu, who was said to possess six major divine skills, was extraordinarily astonishing.
But even Yu Jiu was unable to comprehend the secret to becoming a deity and take that final half step, much less anyone else.
Kid, don't think too far ahead. You just need to know that the power of divine skills is imnsely strong, far surpassing Martial Skills.
Now you are equivalent to being in the Dan Sea Realm but already have two Dao seed fragnts. In the future, it's almost certain that you'll be able to collect the complete Dao seed."
At that mont, Han Zheng suddenly said, "I now actually feel that this Dao seed truly is related to the secret of becoming a deity."
"Why?"
Han Zheng narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "This Divine Envoy wanted to return the Jade Pendant to his holand, and as a reward, he gave this Dao seed fragnt.
Clearly, this Dao seed fragnt was also an incredibly precious existence in ancient tis.
For a Divine Envoy who can leverage divine power, what would he consider the most precious?
It must be sothing related to the divine!"
