Clash
Just as they were thinking of urging the Destiny Demon God again, a loud boom resounded, and the Heavenly Dao Space trembled.
It's done! Qing Xuanzi's face lit up with joy. He could clearly feel that the Heavenly Dao Source was no longer under the control of the Ancient Dao Tree.
At the same time, Hongjun breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't been turned into a dried-up corpse.
The Ancient Dao Tree in the process of enlightenment felt very hot, and it couldn't help but wonder, "How can I, a Great Dao Supreme Saint, feel hot?"
That's really strange.
While puzzled, it suddenly realized that the Heavenly Dao Source was no longer under its control.
An extremely dangerous feeling rose from the bottom of its heart.
The moment the Ancient Dao Tree awoke, it was startled: Holy crap, it's gotten so strong! How come it's a sea of fire? Has it gone mad?
"Hehe, how does the Chaos True Fire taste, my esteemed Heavenly Dao?"
Amidst its confusion, the Ancient Dao Tree heard Qing Xuanzi's voice from beyond the sea of fire.
Suddenly realizing it wasn't a sudden attack, it was a complete burglary.
It had no time to consider how they entered the Heavenly Dao Space and gained control of the Heavenly Dao Source.
In the rush, they only had time to erect a barrier made of Chaos True Water.
Unfortunately, he had given away a portion of his Chaos True Water, and there wasn't much left.
"Qing Xuanzi, you're courting death!" The Ancient Dao Tree was furious beyond measure.
"Hehe, it's hard to say whether I'm courting death or not. You should think about how to get out of your predicament first."
"Solve it? Qing Xuanzi, do you think you've already won?"
"Perhaps. Anyway, the Chaos True Fire didn't burn me. Just a friendly reminder, you don't have much Chaos True Water left. You're such a kind person, actually giving away your Chaos True Water. Well, you gave it to me. Thanks."
Ancient Dao Tree almost couldn't catch his breath. It seemed that the Chaos True Water he had sent out had ended up in Qing Xuanzi's hands.
Are those guys really that unreliable?
"Don't be so smug. Haven't you noticed that humanity has remained completely silent? You can ask Nüwa next to you if she has sensed the existence of humanity's will."
The Ancient Dao Tree's voice seemed to have calmed down, and it even started to tease Qing Xuanzi.
"No need for the Heavenly Dao to worry," Qing Xuanzi replied coldly.
Ancient Dao Tree's words struck at Qing Xuanzi's weak spot.
He understood that Nüwa had probably not sensed the will of humanity; in other words, the will of humanity had not been suppressed by the Heavenly Way.
This was also confirmed by Nüwa's gaze.
Qing Xuanzi's heart sank to the bottom. In this way, the plan could only be considered half successful at best.
"Qing Xuanzi, to be honest, I did accidentally hurt you when I first arrived, but you were fine, weren't you? Why are you targeting me like this?" Ancient Dao Tree finally asked the question that had been bothering him.
It believed that, apart from accidentally injuring Qing Xuanzi when it first arrived in the Primordial World.
The other actions did not make things difficult for Qing Xuanzi, so why did he keep targeting it?
Now, they are even going so far as to invite back the original Heavenly Dao in order to expel them.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together." Qing Xuanzi simply replied with this cold statement.
"Hahaha, Qing Xuanzi, what is the Dao? Where is your Dao? Your so-called different Daos are just an excuse. In reality, you can't find the reason at all; you're just targeting for the sake of targeting."
Qing Xuanzi fell silent. He thought about it carefully and realized that he truly understood what his Dao was.
What is the Dao? Is it the guardian of the Primordial World?
If you don't even understand it yourself, how can you say you're on different paths?
Hongjun frowned. The Ancient Dao Tree retaliated, though it was only a verbal attack.
But it attacks the Dao Heart, the most difficult thing to defend against.
If one is not careful, Dao Heart may collapse or Dao Heart unstable, which is a fundamental injury to the Dao for a cultivator!
"It's useless. You might as well obediently have your consciousness erased."
"Oh, so you're greedy for my original form? You're far too arrogant. Is it really as you think?"
"Saying more is useless. Just use whatever methods you have."
"Hahaha, you're scared? I won't be. The unknown is the most terrifying. The Chaos True Water can hold out for a while longer. Of course, in the end, I will show you the methods of the Great Dao Supreme Saint."
The arrogant voice of the Ancient Dao Tree made Qing Xuanzi very uncomfortable.
It's clearly the other person who's in dire straits, but it's become as if I'm the one in the most desperate situation.
Qing Xuanzi gritted his teeth. "Fine, you want to play? I'll play along." He continued, "Three senior brothers, increase the intensity."
Sweat beaded on Three Pure Ones's forehead as he kept stuffing pills into his mouth while his magical power surged out like a burst dam.
Although it's hard work, it's clear that hard work that never ends is also a very frustrating thing.
They overheard every word of Qing Xuanzi and Ancient Dao Tree's conversation, and something seemed amiss.
Could it be that Qing Xuanzi's earlier warning from his Dao Heart was actually coming true here?
Despite their thoughts, the Three Pure Ones quickened their pace upon hearing Qing Xuanzi's urging.
Anyway, things have come to this point, there's no turning back now. Whether it's good or bad, we'll have to wait and see.
"Oh, you even prepared three people to add firewood, that's pretty good. Come on, add some more firewood. Haven't you eaten yet?"
"Yes, yes, add more over here."
"Tongtian, are you still hungry?"
"..."
In the Heavenly Dao Space, apart from the roaring Chaos True Fire, only the teasing voice of the Ancient Dao Tree remained.
The Three Pure Ones were so agitated that their veins were bulging. If Qing Xuanzi hadn't been watching them closely, Tongtian would have wanted to step in and take action.
Qing Xuanzi couldn't hold back any longer. This was outrageous! He shouted, "I'm done for! Laozi, throw yourself into the Heavenly Dao Source and burn Laozi! I refuse to believe it!"
Hongjun was startled and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait, Qing Xuanzi, stabilize your Dao Heart. When facing an enemy, the most taboo thing is to have a wavering Dao Heart; otherwise, you'll fall into their trap."
Qing Xuanzi's expression changed drastically. "That was close! I almost couldn't hold back. If Hongjun hadn't stopped me, not only would all my previous efforts have been in vain, but we might all have died here."
After all, no one knows what the Ancient Dao Tree's trump card is.
Ancient Dao Tree secretly lamented, "What a pity! Hongjun! I underestimated this old fellow."
If Qing Xuanzi were to develop Dao Heart, everything would be much easier; it's just a pity.
Seeing that the opportunity had been lost, the Qing Xuanzi Ancient Dao Tree had already regained its peace of Dao Heart.
"Hey, Qing Xuanzi, you've had it too easy. If it weren't for that old bastard Hongjun here..."
Perhaps today I'll let you experience the methods of Great Dao Supreme Saint. It's just a pity, but...
You failed again. Humanity ultimately failed to rise. You have no chance. When we meet again...
That's when I'll take your life.
When the Ancient Dao Tree finished speaking, Qing Xuanzi's heart trembled violently. He thought to himself, "It's all over. Sure enough, there's something wrong with the Dao Burial Ground."
As the Ancient Dao Tree disappeared, Qing Xuanzi's figure also vanished from the Heavenly Dao Space.
