Now, Su Jiu was interested in only one question: what had caused the Heavenly Dao of this world to split?
Moreover, even if the Heavenly Dao had split, it should still have fulfilled its duty to maintain balance. Yet the Heavenly Dao on the Azure Realm's side seemed to have no intention of maintaining that balance. Why that was, Su Jiu did not know.
Still, she felt certain that Little Green knew something. Judging by his manner, however, he clearly had no intention of delving any deeper.
"So the reason you chose to leave with me back then was that you had already foreseen that I would one day come to the Demon-Subduing Land, where the Spirit Vein once guarded by the Vermilion Bird lay?"
Little Green nodded. "Actually, even if we found the Spirit Vein, I never intended to have you do anything. As long as you took me there, I could handle the rest myself."
"One last question."
Little Green looked somewhat resigned, but remembering how much he had already said, both what he could reveal and what he could not, he simply let the cracked jar shatter. "Ask."
"Without the Vermilion Bird's protection, how has this Spirit Vein survived for so many years? And why did the seniors from ten thousand years ago establish the Demon-Subduing Land here?"
"To suppress them."
"Do you really think just anything can suppress those demonic beasts? Only a barrier extended by a Spirit Vein has any chance of keeping those filthy things sealed away."
"As for why it has survived, naturally, the other half of the Heavenly Dao gave it a thread of life. Speaking of which, that thread of life actually rests with you." As Little Green spoke, his gaze settled on Su Jiu again.
Su Jiu raised her brows
