507: Unexpected news

"Grandpa, I'm never coming to the Star Fragment Sea again."

"I didn't want you to come in the first place, but you insisted on following. Who's to blame now?"

"Regretting it now?"

The ones entering the Star Fragment Sea were a grandfather and granddaughter pair; one was an old man in the Dao Source Realm, and the other was a young granddaughter.

This granddaughter wasn't old, but her strength was surprisingly not weak; at such a young age, she already had the strength of the Harmony Realm.

The two looked travel-worn, with a hint of exhaustion on their faces, clearly having come from afar.

The old man doted on his granddaughter, patting her head and saying, "Next time, stay home properly and don't run around."

The granddaughter pouted, "I only came because I was worried about you, Grandpa, and wanted to help."

"That Starry Sky Iron is hard to find; having one more person to search is always better..."

While the grandfather and granddaughter were talking, a pair of eyes was quietly watching from a distance, overhearing their conversation.

Quickly, Li Qi figured out the origin of these two; they actually came from another Source Realm... the Ancient Origin Realm!

The Starry Sky Iron they were looking for was a very rare material of immense value. When Li Qi's Clones were searching for Sacred Thrones here, they had indeed discovered some Starry Sky Iron.

The conversation between the two continued.

"It's all the fault of those Saint Kings! We clearly have Starry Sky Iron in our Ancient Origin Realm, but the Starry Sky Iron veins have all been monopolized by them!"

"That Starry Sky Iron is deathly expensive! We can't afford it at all!"

"Otherwise, why would we need to travel so far to the Star Fragment Sea to find Starry Sky Iron?"

The granddaughter's tone was indignant as she cursed, "Those Saint Kings should all just die!"

As soon as she spoke, the Dao Source Realm elder's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to cover his granddaughter's mouth.

"Wan'er, stop talking nonsense!"

"How does Grandpa usually teach you?"

"Don't speak recklessly about Saint Kings. Each of them has heaven-defying methods; they might hear what you say."

The granddaughter's tone, however, was indifferent.

"Come on, we're so far from the Ancient Origin Realm now; those Saint Kings can't hear us."

"And for some reason, those Saint Kings have all left the Ancient Origin Realm and gone to the Origin Realm..."

Hearing this, Li Qi's eyes widened in the distance as he said in disbelief.

"The Saint Kings of the Ancient Origin Realm have left?"

"And gone to the Origin Realm?!!"

He took a deep breath and muttered, "That can't be, right?"

"These Saint Kings... could they all be coming for me?"

The granddaughter was also curious about the movements of the Ancient Origin Realm's Saint Kings and asked.

"Grandpa, do you know why all those Saint Kings went to the Origin Realm?"

The old man pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "I've heard some rumors that another Child of the Great Path has been born in the Origin Realm."

"A Child of the Great Path was once born in the Origin Realm, and now another has appeared. That Origin Realm truly is a place of exceptional people and land."

The granddaughter blinked curiously, "Child of the Great Path? What is that?"

The old man smiled helplessly and shook his head, "A Child of the Great Path isn't a thing, it's a person—both a world-shaking Genius and an anomaly."

"They are the ones closest to the Great Dao and possess extraordinary value. Even the Sacred Thrones of the Saint Kings cannot compare."

"So those Saint Kings headed to the Origin Realm all to seize the Child of the Great Path."

In the distance, Li Qi was no longer calm.

"Good grief!"

"They really are coming for me!"

"What virtue or ability do I have... to make the Saint Kings of the Ancient Origin Realm travel so far?"

Being so highly regarded by many Saint Kings made Li Qi feel overwhelmed by the favor.

The Saint Kings had their own small circles, and after sensing Li Qi was hiding in the Origin Realm, they were all calling for backup.

It wasn't that these Saint Kings lacked the confidence to capture Li Qi, but rather they lacked the confidence to snatch the Child of the Great Path while surrounded by other Saint Kings.

Some Saint Kings, knowing their strength was insufficient, simply spread the news of the Child of the Great Path's birth everywhere to muddy the waters, making it easier for them to fish in troubled waters.

Currently, the situation in the Origin Realm was becoming increasingly chaotic, with a large number of Saint Kings rushing in. Li Qi felt a sense of relief.

"Luckily, I ran away quickly before!"

"Otherwise, I might not have been able to escape!"

Saint Kings from all over were gathering in the Origin Realm, each with heaven-defying methods; they might have taken precautions against Li Qi fleeing the Origin Realm.

If these people had sealed off the entire Origin Realm, it wouldn't have been so easy for Li Qi to escape again.

But Li Qi's actions were fast and decisive enough that he escaped before the trap could close.

"The current Origin Realm has become a whirlpool; I can't go back..."

Li Qi's eyes flickered as he constantly pondered his next steps.

His gaze fell upon the grandfather and granddaughter in the distance, and a faint smile soon appeared on his lips.

"Since that's the case... I might as well take a trip to the Ancient Origin Realm."

"There, I can continue buying and selling Great Dao Texts."
