"What are you doing here?" Youmong asked with curiosity.
"I watched a little movie in Jiuzhou last ti, where n and won fought over a quilt. I’ve always wanted to try it." Erha chuckled.
Youmong rolled his eyes.
After Tuntian swallowed Wu Banlu whole, he didn’t rush to refine her. Instead, he watched Xiang Beifei warily and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, what are you intending?"
"Don’t you know that if you kill her, she’ll still resurrect at her ho?" Xiang Beifei said.
Tuntian was shocked, "Is that really possible?"
"You really underestimate the life-saving thods of the Dao Palace." Xiang Beifei said indifferently.
Tuntian’s expression imdiately beca uncertain.
He never dared to have any improper thoughts about the people of the Dao Palace before, so how would he know about resurrection?
If they can resurrect at ho, then their Swine Dao Race would be in danger, definitely becoming the next race exterminated by the Dao Palace!
Thinking of this, Tuntian broke into a cold sweat!
"Don’t worry, I’ve already ensured she can’t resurrect." Xiang Beifei said again.
Tuntian realized and asked in surprise, "Did you intervene just now to stop her resurrection?"
"No kidding."
The reason Xiang Beifei didn’t allow Wu Banlu to self-destruct was to brand a Yin-Yang Brand in her body, ensuring her complete demise!
The Houtu Tribe had persecuted countless mbers of the Human Race, using them as sacrifices, slaughtering them in various ways. In his eyes, anyone from the Houtu Tribe deserved death!
Even a stunningly talented woman was no exception.
Those who deserve to die, must die!
"But... I don’t understand why you’re helping ?" Tuntian asked.
"We have a common enemy." Xiang Beifei said.
Tuntian frowned, pondering who he and Xiang Beifei’s common enemy could be.
"Alright, I won’t waste words with you. You swallowed sothing of mine; I need to get it back." Xiang Beifei said.
"What did I swallow of yours?" Tuntian asked in a deep voice.
"It’s that thing in your stomach that you can’t digest." Xiang Beifei said.
"How do you... know?" Tuntian asked in shock.
"I know everything." Xiang Beifei said calmly.
Tuntian, a very gluttonous cultivator, his Dao embryo derived from the Gluttonous, would eat anything to digest it for his own use.
But among the many things he swallowed, there was one thing he never digested. Even after a thousand years, it remained in his stomach. It was an unremarkable piece of broken wood that had no spiritual power, yet it withstood his Gluttonous stomach’s digestion!
Even when his strength had reached the threshold of the Ancestral Dao Realm, he still couldn’t digest this piece of broken wood!
This wood was sothing he swallowed during a fight with other masters, along with all their belongings. Since it hadn’t digested after so long, he believed it to be a sacred object and kept it in his stomach. No one knew, who could have thought soone would speak of his secret today.
"Who... exactly are you?" Tuntian asked cautiously.
But Xiang Beifei didn’t want to explain, simply saying, "Spit it out."
Tuntian looked into Xiang Beifei’s eyes, and in that clear gaze, black and white glimrs seed to flash. Suddenly, his whole spirit scattered, and Xiang Beifei’s voice echoed in his mind like a sacred command that he couldn’t resist.
He involuntarily opened his mouth, and a piece of blackened broken wood erged, floating in the void.
Ancestral Artifact Fragnt!
"That’s disgusting."
Xiaohei ran over, using spiritual power to condense a high-pressure water jet to thoroughly clean the piece of wood, followed by high heat to bake it, peeling off everything not belonging to the wood.
There was no concern of burning anything, as the Ancestral Artifact Fragnt was robust enough to withstand such cleaning.
Tuntian’s perception of Xiang Beifei completely changed. Xiang Beifei’s voice, filled with powerful intent, still resonated in his mind. When Xiang Beifei said, "Spit it out," it was like hearing celestial music, enlightening his mind!
Then he realized sothing, exclaiming, "You... you’re the maker of the Dao Stone?"
"Oh, smarter than I thought." Xiang Beifei collected the Ancestral Artifact Fragnt.
"Ancestral in heaven, descendant of the Swine Dao Race, Tuntian greets the Ancestral!"
Tuntian suddenly and excitedly kneeled before Xiang Beifei, showing the utmost respect!
"Ancestral?"
What the hell?
I’m not your ancestor!
Xiang Beifei’s forehead lined with three vertical lines, almost kicking this pig away!
Xiaohei giggled, "Feifei is the ancestor of pigs!"
"Shut up." Xiang Beifei said, clearly annoyed.
He glanced disdainfully at Tuntian kneeling in front of him, not hiding his contempt.
But Tuntian, upon seeing Xiang Beifei, was very excited, his face full of respect, not daring to take a breath.
After comprehending the seven Dao Stones, he was convinced the Dao Stone perfectly aligned with the Swine Dao Race, making him firmly believe the owner of the Dao Stone was the ancestor of his race.
The Heavenly Dao is ruthless; it is ti for the Gluttonous Tribe to rise!
Now, the legendary ancestor appeared before him; how could he not be excited?
Perhaps this senior was the legendary divine beast Gluttonous. Tuntian dared not act rashly!
Xiang Beifei resisted the urge to kick this pig and pondered a mont, "Tell how you interpret the intent of the Dao Stone?"
"To the ancestor..."
"Call sir, your current Dao doesn’t deserve my, uh, recognition." Xiang Beifei corrected him.
"Yes, yes, yes! I’m sorry for the offense!"
Tuntian quivered, reprimanded by Xiang Beifei, without any complaints.
The Dao embryo cultivated by the person before him was several levels higher than his own. As a re Swine Dao Race mber, who hadn’t even exalted his Dao embryo, he certainly couldn’t aim that high.
"To the sir! Through comprehending the Dao recently, I’m almost certain there should be eight Dao Stones!"
"So, in your opinion, what’s the missing character?" Xiang Beifei asked, his expression unchanged.
"The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, our race should rise!"
Tuntian confidently said, "The missing character is ’our.’ In my understanding, the Heavenly Dao is the force governing everything. In the Edge Corner Airspace, the only thing in control is the Dao Palace. So, ’The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, our race should rise’ should an the Dao Palace is unjust, having lost the people’s support, signifying our race’s ti to rise!"
Every ti Tuntian thought of the intent of those seven Dao Stones, he’d feel an overwhelming heroism surge in his chest, and a passionate resolve to overthrow the Dao Palace and establish themselves burned within him.
— Huh? Is that how it’s understood?
Xiang Beifei was sowhat surprised himself.
In fact, when he wrote that phrase, it was purely on a whim, with the first character ’Dao’ just to create a cool cave to play with; everything else was added on a whim.
As for what precisely "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless" ant, Xiang Beifei didn’t think it over.
He rely felt those four words sounded impressive!
Unexpectedly, Tuntian would interpret it this way.
Is this the legendary interpretation of literature?
Love it.
But in reality, if Xiang Beifei had to explain "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless," it would an that the Heavenly Dao shows no rcy to all things, aning the Heavenly Dao treats everything equally.
The Dao that any race cultivates is essentially an extension of the Heavenly Dao. Normally, the Heavenly Dao wouldn’t favor any race.
As for the latter half, it naturally signifies the rise of the Human Race, breaking convention, becoming the darling of the Heavenly Dao!
However, it didn’t really matter. Different people comprehend the Dao differently.
Besides, others could interpret it however they liked; he wasn’t very concerned.
"You have so understanding." Xiang Beifei said.
"Thank you, thank you for the complint, sir."
Tuntian was overwheld with joy, quickly bowing again.
He had been praised by the owner of the Dao Stone!
This ant his comprehended Dao intent was correct in the eyes of this gentleman!
What an honor this was!
Tuntian trembled with excitent.
