"Old Ox, this path aligns with the Great Dao's reciprocation. It should be right." Chen Xun fell into thought as well, not entirely confident. Too many failures had left even him doubting himself.
There were too many Dao essences within him. With only several dozen Dao essences breaking from their cocoons, nothing could really be discerned.
But...
He felt as though his body had become a little "lighter."
He did not know whether that was good or bad, but he could afford to spend the time. He could only keep trying slowly.
"Big Brother, Senior Song has arrived." Before long, a flash of delight appeared in He Ling's eyes. "I didn't expect it to be him."
"Damn it, Song Heng!"
Chen Xun called out and burst into hearty laughter.
Song Heng, who had been examining the lightning tribulation at the Dao Gate, shuddered all over. Great joy spread across his face as he abruptly vanished from the spot.
In the forest.
Song Heng came running over, shouting in delight, "Factory Owner!! Senior Black Ox! Lion Dog!! Miss He Ling! Hahaha... the matter of the Longevity Spirit is related to something major. I knew you were here—you had to be here."
His plump body rolled over like a boulder.
Little Crimson's face lit up with joy. He launched a sneak attack from the shadows, sending Song Heng sprawling head over heels until he rolled right to Chen Xun's feet.
Song Heng coughed violently, then roared in fury, "Lion Dog, how presumptuous!!"
"Hehe, Fatty Song." Little Crimson pounced on him at once, pinning Song Heng down and stomping on him repeatedly with all four hooves.
"Little Crimson."
"Brother Xun!"
With a lewd grin plastered across his face, Little Crimson sprang behind He Ling. She shot the two of them a reproachful look.
