At present, Lin Fan had two ways of obtaining Dao Principle energy. The first was to directly suppress and kill cultivators of the same realm, devouring the Dao Principle energy they possessed. The second was to help the Primal Divine Statue devour other Eerie Divine Statues, receiving Dao Principle energy through the statue's feedback.
To break through, however, he would need an enormous amount of Dao Principle energy.
Even killing several—or even dozens of—cultivators of the same realm might not yield enough Dao Principle energy.
Thus, for now, helping the Primal Divine Statue devour other Eerie Divine Statues and obtain Dao Principle energy from its feedback was the best method.
The divine statues that had previously appeared in Northern Luzhou were all connected to the Sky Swallowing Sparrow clan. If Lin Fan's guess was correct, the Sky Swallowing Sparrow clan must have even more powerful Eerie Divine Statues guarding it.
That was also why Lin Fan had agreed to cooperate with the Dark Dragon Clan before.
Whether or not the Dark Dragon Clan appeared, for the sake of breaking through and helping the Primal Divine Statue recover even greater strength, he would never let the Sky Swallowing Sparrow clan off.
However, if the Sky Swallowing Sparrow clan could make the Dark Dragon Clan so wary, then its foundations must be extraordinarily terrifying.
Moreover, the Bloodthirsty Heavenly Fox clan that had suddenly emerged not long ago might also have close ties to the Sky Swallowing Sparrow clan.
At that thought, Lin Fan's expression shifted slightly. He still could not afford to let down his guard.
After pondering for a moment, he continued communicating with the Pre-emptive Dao Fruit.
