"The disciple wants to walk his own path!"
Wang Chan ignored Wang You’s sarcasm and said calmly.
"Which path?"
"The Spirit Attire Path!"
...
A streak of red light pierced straight through the void, countless stars passing by like fleeting shadows.
In an instant, the vast and endless land of Xiehe transford into a tri-colored round star.
Facing such a spectacle, the Fire Phoenix didn’t even glance back.
Because the Old Master had lived too long, long enough that he no longer found anything remarkable in Xiehe.
Even the Divine Country project, highly regarded and planned with full effort by Zhongzhou’s Divine Court, failed to pique this Ancestor’s interest.
[How can humans be more obedient than beasts?]
When the Old Master learned that the Divine Country required a vast number of followers to sustain it, he knew this project wasn’t significant.
Humans and beasts are different; no matter how proud or fierce a spirit beast, it can be tad and confined.
But humans are different. For the past hundred years, while the Old Master sat on the Peak of Dragon Valley eating peanuts, he often wondered why, despite spirit beasts being fundantally stronger and the Demon Race having more Saint Kings, it was the Human Race that ultimately triumphed.
This question puzzled him for a long ti, and after rejecting several initially believed correct answers,
he began pondering deeper issues and eventually made a discovery.
It occurred when he achieved the Saint Domain with the Jianmu, piecing together forty-nine Spirit Realm Fragnts to create the Phoenix Tree Realm and migrating a group of the Phoenix Clan into it.
Initially, those phoenixes were unaccustod to the cramped space inside and the oppressive Spiritual Energy.
They restlessly soared and screeched in anger, seemingly wanting to break out of this cage.
But how could a re Phoenix King break through a spirit realm space crafted by a Saint?
After a period of tumult, the phoenixes finally adapted to everything within the spirit realm, ceasing their attempts to soar beyond the sky or spit fire at the Phoenix Tree.
They began gathering branches to build nests. They started fluffing their feathers in the first rays of Spiritual Realm’s dawn. After grooming, they encircled the Minor Spiritual Realm several tis, even dozens of tis, before returning to their nests to rest at what they deed the appropriate mont.
And when they returned to their nests, blood als would appear around the Phoenix Tree, which they could easily consu.
What a perfect life this was.
Day after day, the phoenixes no longer caused a stir in the spirit realm. Even the once-irritable Phoenix King stopped trying to break the spirit realm’s boundaries.
At first, the Old Master thought they might be gathering strength.
Yet after several years passed, the phoenixes still showed no intention of breaking the boundary.
Once again, the Old Master even fiddled with the spirit realm’s boundary, allowing the phoenixes inside a glimpse of the sky outside.
But those phoenixes only glanced outside while circling in the air, with no intention of breaking through this space.
One circle, two circles, three circles, though each ti they glanced outside, they ultimately returned to circle around the Phoenix Tree, waiting for their blood als.
It was then the Old Master understood why the frail Human Race eventually reclaid control over Xiehe.
It wasn’t because of their learning ability, breeding capability, or even wisdom.
It was simply because humans possessed a vigorous curiosity, the ability to suppress instincts, and most importantly, humans were never satisfied.
Give any fierce spirit beast a stable habitat, steady food supply, and suitable breeding climate, and they would ask for nothing more.
But humans are different; humans are the only animals in Xiehe that can be driven mad by monotonous life cycles.
The majority of what people desire is sothing they don’t have, which is both humanity’s greatest flaw and its greatest asset.
It is precisely because of this trait that humans will never be satisfied, evolving from rely imitating spirit beasts’ use of Spiritual Energy to forging a path of their own.
Even those who have reached the pinnacle, like Saint Kings, continued to advance.
This is also why he had little faith in those Divine Countries created outside the heavens by Zhongzhou.
Followers go to the Divine Country seeking to beco gods, yearning for eternal happiness, only to find themselves enslaved?
No problem for three or five years, but what about thirty or fifty years, or even a hundred years?
Using the Spiritual Power within the human body to maintain the stability of the Divine Country—no stupider idea exists.
He can only hope that particular planet the young lad ntioned might bring him so surprises.
...
Loneliness has always been the best companion of kings, so when the Old Master initially declared his intention to depart, Tang Luo didn’t overthink it and agreed imdiately.
It was just that the Beast Taming Sect journey was excessively smooth, so smooth that Tang Luo felt it was sowhat hasty, but persuading the Old Master made everything worthwhile.
However, as the Fire Phoenix broke through Xiehe’s realm and distanced itself further and further, after the initial excitent dissipated, his thoughts began to change.
Now he only felt regret, deep regret!
So much that his expression looked sowhat unpleasant.
The Fire Phoenix wasn’t slow; in fact, it was quite fast, moving more swiftly through the void than most spirit forms.
But considering the position of that star, considering the round trip ti, Tang Luo beca sowhat irritated.
His experience on the life-giving star had impacted him too much; now, when acting, he still entered that star’s state, focusing to the point of blurring the concept of ti.
But he was no longer just a planet!
