Chapter 3127 - You Barbarians go too Far
"You can have desire, but maintaining a stable mindset is equally important. To reach the Foundation stage, one must have the mindset of breaking through all obstacles and the determination to surpa.s.s all beings. There’s over a hundred people on the Fortuna Ranking just like you who are just one step away from the Foundation stage. But only those eighteen stand in the Foundation stage! Even if you’re a brilliant goldlion, achieving the Foundation stage before the age of five hundred isn’t easy," Reverend Daolie lectured.
"That step is too important for any pract.i.tioner in Myriadpath Valley, so I obtained these order fragments in this auction. I must succeed this time and not disappoint Father"s expectations," Huang Daosheng grit his teeth.
"It’s good you understand. This time, several reverends competed and the manna I openly traded isn"t considered very precious. Do you know why the imperial clan still chose to trade with me?" Reverend Daolie said.
"Father, didn"t you say it"s because they happen to need the attributes of the manna we"re offering?" Huang Daosheng asked.
"Nonsense! These Xenoabyss races are very deceitful! It"s because I privately gave them most of my savings acc.u.mulated over a thousand years to obtain these order fragments," Reverend Daolie said, his heart still aching.
"I see...." Huang Daosheng listened and felt even more pressure on his shoulders. Huang Daoxiong"s death hadn’t had a significant impact on House Huang; after all, Huang Daosheng was the true flame and future of the family.
"Father, I"m not weak. You"re right. I shouldn"t become restless just because of a setback. On the contrary, for me, these are an alternative form of training. No matter how the rumors spread, it"s because they aren’t afraid enough of me. If I reach the Foundation stage, if we become a sacred house, ninety-five percent of Myriadpath Valley will shut their mouths!" Huang Daosheng"s gaze was fierce.
"Yes! I"m very pleased that you can think like that. It’s the right att.i.tude," Reverend Daolie said with satisfaction.
Huang Daolie was no longer impatient and added, "It’s most effective to refine the order fragments in the Xenoabyss, but we also need to be careful. During your refinement, you mustn’t be disturbed. Once you are, all of your efforts will be in vain."
"Understood!" They had to find a good place.
After about half an hour, Reverend Daolie finally judged that they had arrived at a sufficiently secluded place. "This location is excellent and rarely visited by people. There shouldn"t be any disturbances," he said with satisfaction.
"Father, didn"t you already bribe the imperial clan? Moreover, the auction was openly conducted. They definitely won’t dare to cause trouble, or else it’ll damage the relations.h.i.+p between the imperial clan and Myriadpath Valley, and Myriadpath Valley won’t take it lying down!" Huang Daosheng said.
"The imperial clan naturally has no reason to cause trouble. The quiet location is mainly to avoid some small fries.... As long as it isn’t the imperial clan, I can handle it, but we have to be cautious in everything!" Reverend Daolie patted Huang Daosheng"s shoulder and continued, "Rest a.s.sured, as your father, although I"m not considered a top figure in Myriadpath Valley, I’ll do my best to escort you to become an eminent!"
"Father!" Huang Daosheng was extremely moved.
"Adjust your mindset one last time!" Reverend Daolie loudly laughed. The six grade-six order fragments were securely stored in his ring.
Huang Daosheng"s eyes were already s.h.i.+ning. To be honest, he was a little nervous because he was just a single step away from reaching the heavens.
Reverend Daolie muttered to himself, "Fortunately, I was well-informed. I came quickly knowing that the imperial clan wanted to acquire manna. If some eminents heard about it, you"d have no chance."
As Reverend Daoilie was about to take out the order fragments, a majestic purple foundation fortress with a surging and violent aura suddenly descended from the sky!
"Father!" Huang Daosheng screamed in pain, cras.h.i.+ng to the ground. With a foundation fortress present, he would find it extremely difficult to move, let alone absorb the order fragments and break through.
"Use your order to defend! Protect yourself!" Reverend Daolie thundered in anger. Despite his anger, he was puzzled. He had been cautious and hiding for half a day—how could someone still find them?
Moreover, the aura of the newcomer clearly indicated someone at the strength of Myriadpath Valley"s reverends or above. Although Reverend Daolie wasn’t familiar with this particular foundation fortress, his first reaction was still to think that it was a fellow from Myriadpath Valley coming to make trouble.
"Who dares to show up? Show yourself!" Reverend Daolie roared. He protected his son under him, summoning his own foundation fortress. Fiery red flames ignited the air and the two fortresses violently clashed.
While Reverend Daolie was shouting, a specter with a compressed body suddenly landed in front of him with a billowing aura that shook the earth.
"A Xenoabyss specter?" Reverend Daolie was stunned for a moment, then angrily shouted, "Who are you? I am Reverend Daolie of Myriadpath Valley! Why do you come with ill intent?"
The newcomer was Chen Tianyong, who grinned ferociously and said, "I don"t want much, just six order fragments."
Hearing this, Reverend Daolie"s expression changed and he angrily sneered, "Your imperial clan held an auction, but now you want to play dirty tricks on me? Do you think Myriadpath Valley is easy to bully?"
"Don"t be stupid. I"m not from the imperial clan," Chen Tianyong laughed.
Reverend Daolie was startled and looked closely and indeed confirmed that it wasn"t the imperial clan. "Then was it the imperial clan that gave you the information?" He frowned.
"No, it was my master who told me to rob them!" Chen Tianyong said, then rushed toward Reverend Daolie.
"Your master? Which bigshot from the Xenoabyss is that? What"s his intention, daring to disrupt the relations.h.i.+p between Myriadpath Valley and Antiquitas Mortis?" Reverend Daolie shouted.
"He doesn"t have any particular intention, he just doesn"t like your ugly mug!” Chen Tianyong shouted, his body surrounded by purple mist. He resembled a purple volcano billowing smoke as his huge foundation fortress crashed into Reverend Daolie.
Chen Tianyong was definitely fierce in his fighting style. He was like a h.e.l.lish bull that caused the surroundings to shake with every step.
"You don"t like my mug? You barbarians go too far!" Reverend Daolie was incensed. After spending a thousand years of savings, he had finally exchanged for the most important order fragments in his son"s life. But halfway through, this bull came charging out of nowhere. Who wouldn"t be furious?
His body expanded and his hair began burning with flames. A vertical eye cracked open at the center of his brow, with three fiery red sun-like pupils appearing inside. At the same time, his body and claws all seemed demonic as a bloodthirsty, murderous aura erupted. He fully displayed the might of a Myriadpath Valley"s reverend to the fullest.
The two foundation fortresses clashed, triggering an earthquake.
