Chapter 365: The Main God Space (21)

A whirlwind of emotions filled Uncle Chen's heart.

The youth beside him nodded with a faint smile.

This was not a dream. The young master had finally returned.

Uncle Chen opened his mouth. He wanted to ask where the young master had been all these years, or how he had been faring.

In the end, he said nothing.

The sky was high and the sea vast. He no longer had the qualifications to stand by the young master's side and shield him from the elements.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the tavern. The noisy sounds around them gradually faded. Uncle Chen realized that at some point, everyone else in the tavern had vanished. In the vast world, only the two of them remained.

The sun rose in the east.

"Uncle Chen, I will be going to a very distant place next."

The youth narrowed his eyes, his voice calm and light.

Uncle Chen was stunned, a trace of melancholy on his face. "With your talent, Young Master, this world is truly too small for you. This old servant is already content to have seen you again and resolved the knot in his heart."

This pond was ultimately too shallow to contain a true dragon, and the young master was that true dragon. Uncle Chen understood this clearly.

After this parting, they might never meet again in this lifetime.

The youth nodded expressionlessly, rose from his seat, and walked out of the tavern.

The old man also stood up. A thousand words turned into a long sigh. He bowed deeply toward the receding figure. The infinitely elongated shadow covered the old man.

"This old servant wishes Young Master a journey to the pinnacle of the Dao."

When he looked up again, only he remained in the world, facing the rising sun.

By the time he snapped out of his daze, brilliant green light illuminated the entire world, brimming with boundless vitality.

The immortal divine medicine—Eternal Evergreen Vine.

A familiar voice sounded in Uncle Chen's mind.

"Uncle Chen, take care."

...

Su Chen had left the Eternal Evergreen Vine with Uncle Chen.

The immortal divine medicine could completely heal Uncle Chen's injuries and allow him to live another life. As for himself, he returned once more to the Main God Space. He still had two hundred and seventy billion points remaining.

Su Chen began closed-door cultivation again.

...

Outside Heavenly Eastern Dao Province.

A vast and boundless world sparkled like countless stars, illuminating the endless darkness and converging into a magnificent realm. Orthodoxies stood tall and powerhouses were countless.

Zhao Wudi, the ancestor of the Zhao Clan, had risen from a small world within Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. He had crossed seven Emperor tribulations and ultimately proved his Dao to become a supreme Great Emperor. Unrivaled throughout history, his talent covered the ages.

By chance, he had entered a world far broader than Heavenly Eastern Dao Province.

Profound Clear Heaven Sect.

Zhao Wudi had successfully joined the Profound Clear Heaven Sect with his seventh-level aptitude. He had thought he could shine within the sect with his talent, but he was wrong—terribly wrong.

Even though he had once been an unrivaled genius of his world. In the eyes of the Profound Clear Heaven Sect, such worlds numbered in the billions.

A seventh-level aptitude genius who was the greatest in his world's history? The Profound Clear Heaven Sect had hundreds of millions of them. Not to mention those with eighth-level, ninth-level, and even the legendary tenth-level aptitudes.

Zhao Wudi felt like he was staring at an insurmountable chasm. After struggling for over a million years, his cultivation had only barely reached the Second Tribulation Ruler realm, while those with ninth-level aptitudes who had joined at the same time had already broken through to the Third Tribulation Ruler realm.

Invincible, truly invincible—how lamentable and laughable. Like an ant gazing at the blue sky, the gap on the path of the Great Dao left Zhao Wudi in despair. Perhaps he would never break through to the Tenth Tribulation Ruler realm before falling in this life.

Just as Zhao Wudi's Dao heart shattered and he fell into despair, losing all faith and wanting to return from the Profound Clear Heaven Sect to Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. He sensed an aura that stirred his bloodline, leaving him in disbelief...

After leaving Heavenly Eastern Dao Province and spending many years in the Profound Clear Heaven Sect, Zhao Wudi naturally knew many secrets. So-called divine or sacred bodies from the lower realms amounted to nothing in the upper world. In a place like the Profound Clear Heaven Sect, even the guard dogs could easily crush such so-called divine or sacred bodies.

This greater world contained many profound physiques. Those born with them stood at the pinnacle of all beings from the moment of their birth, mastering Dao realms that countless geniuses could not reach in a lifetime. There were even the legendary immortal physiques, which innately carried a sliver of a chance to attain immortality!

Zhao Wudi's heartbeat slowed by half a beat. Because what he had encountered was precisely one of the legendary immortal physiques! And this immortal physique belonged to his own descendant!

Zhao Wudi could not suppress the greed in his heart. He decisively chose to station his true body in Heavenly Eastern Dao Province, sealing off the qi flow. He then contacted the Zhao Clan... Faced with Zhao Wudi revealing his identity, the Zhao Clan found it hard to believe at first but eventually accepted it. Using a bloodline method, they extracted one hundred and eight Great Dao Immortal Bones from the young Zhao Chen.

Although Zhao Wudi had taken the one hundred and eight Great Dao Immortal Bones from the young Zhao Chen, he still made a move to protect the child's life. He left the Zhao Clan with vast resources. Rebuilding the foundations for a Great Emperor was not difficult.

The Zhao Clan gained countless resources and produced several Quasi-Emperors. Zhao Wudi obtained the one hundred and eight Great Dao Immortal Bones and, in just a few thousand years, went from an ordinary disciple in the Profound Clear Heaven Sect to a rising star. With immortal aptitude, he caught the eye of an Emperor Lord of the sect, who took him as a disciple. He became a man above men, a true legacy disciple of the ages!

"This is immortal aptitude... What a wonderful feeling. The Great Dao is within reach!"

Zhao Wudi's heart once again filled with the belief of invincibility, just as it had been back in Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. He wanted to sweep through all the geniuses of this immortal land. He wanted to become an Emperor Lord, or even... attain immortality!

This was Zhao Wudi's ambition!

The one hundred and eight Great Dao Immortal Bones were his source of confidence. His cultivation speed surpassed everyone in the Profound Clear Heaven Sect. Any Dao techniques, martial arts, or divine abilities were as clear as lines on his palm. There were no bottlenecks in his cultivation. What had previously taken him a million years to advance a small realm now took only a few thousand years to go from Second Tribulation Ruler to Third Tribulation Ruler!

Zhao Wudi recalled that several thousand years ago, roughly a decade or so after obtaining the Great Dao Immortal Bones, he had sensed one of his thoughts left in Heavenly Eastern Dao Province being extinguished. Even the bloodline he had left there had vanished. Perhaps they had been killed by a powerful enemy. But they were merely bloodline descendants. If they died, so be it. As long as he lived, the Zhao Clan would not perish. It might even rise to new heights of glory.

He had chosen not to return to Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. After all, his aptitude was not truly his own... It had been stolen from his descendant. While such acts were common in the cultivation world, they were not exactly honorable. Zhao Wudi did not want to expose himself and invite unnecessary trouble.

But now, after breaking through in his cultivation, Zhao Wudi suddenly recalled the destruction of the Zhao Clan in Heavenly Eastern Dao Province. He wanted to know who was behind it all!
