252: Intercept the Tao Seed and Escape

A Liang stepped into the altar.

And you, hidden, quietly followed behind him.

You saw the interior of the altar.

Driven by the Formation, various types of blood converged towards the core of the altar.

And there, strands of wondrous light beams quietly floated.

Some of them were already dim, but most still radiated vibrant vitality.

You immediately recognized these things—Dao Seeds.

“Hehehehe…”

“Since the Lords have gone to such great lengths, the things in this altar must be extraordinary. After I, A Liang, investigate them…”

A Liang said, walking towards the Dao Seeds.

But before he could touch the Dao Seeds, you made your move.

A horizontal sword slash, and before A Liang could react, he was sent flying by the terrifying sword light.

He fell to the ground.

If not for the Spiritual Shield on his body automatically protecting its master, he would have already been cut in half at the waist.

“Who?!”

He roared, his expression sharp.

But at that instant, your second attack arrived!

Torrential sword light pierced through his head, splitting A Liang’s skull in two!

“These Cultivators who use the Dao Spirit Cultivation method are indeed much easier to kill than those who use the Dao Body Cultivation method.”

You chuckled softly.

Then, you slowly stepped forward and collected all the Dao Seeds into your possession.

A few breaths later, you scanned the surroundings with your Divine Sense.

Upon finding that no one had discovered you, you had a thought and activated Celestial Travel to return to the Six Paths Immortal Court.

You did not stay there long.

Because you clearly knew that the Six Paths Immortal Court was no longer safe.

If those Taiyin Realm Cultivators could find you once, they would certainly be able to find you a second time.

You summoned Ziyan and, based on the memories in her mind, traveled to other Earth Domains to temporarily avoid the conflict.

The 147,000th year.

After a long journey, you finally arrived at the Luoyun Earth Domain, which was far from the Linyuan Region.

The overall strength of this Earth Domain was very powerful, and it had entered the core circle of the Taiyi Realm.

Even those Taiyin Realm Cultivators dared not enter rashly.

Of course, you also dared not act with high profile and expose your existence.

After all, Cultivators from both the Taiyi Realm and the Taiyin Realm—one wanted to kill you, the other wanted to refine you.

After much wandering, you finally brought Ziyan to settle down in a Mortal city.

Although the Spiritual Qi and Dao Origin were sparse here, you couldn't Cultivate anyway at the moment, so you could ignore these side effects.

You began to research the Dao Seeds here.

However…

Several years passed quickly.

Aside from knowing that these Dao Seeds contained extremely powerful energy, you knew nothing else about them.

“It’s a pity that A Liang didn’t know what these things were for, otherwise I would have soul-searched him first…”

You sighed softly.

After much deliberation, you finally decided to refine one of the Dao Seeds to see what would happen.

“Crack!”

With a crisp shattering sound, a Dao Seed suddenly broke apart.

A Spiritual Qi storm instantly surged in the Mortal city where you were located.

That wasn't all.

You could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi storm also contained another type of Qi.

It was distinctly different from Spiritual Qi and Dao Origin.

Instead, it was somewhat similar to the combination of Spiritual Qi and Dao Origin within your body.

And… you could absorb them!

You Cultivated in this Spiritual Qi storm.

Although it only lasted for a quarter of an hour, you could clearly feel your various improvements during that time.

You became stronger!

Although the Spiritual Qi storm lasted for a short time, you could only Cultivate for a little while relying on it.

But at this moment, you had thousands of vibrant Dao Seeds in your hand.

If you absorbed all of them, your strength would certainly reach a new height.

With an excited heart, you immediately began immersive cultivation.

One by one, Dao Seeds were refined by you, and this Mortal city was quickly enveloped by Spiritual Qi, as if it had become a Holy Land for cultivation.

The 147,100th year.

The terrifying commotion when you refined the Dao Seeds caused a huge impact.

Many Loose Cultivators came to settle in this city.

Although most of them had no ill intentions, for the sake of caution, you ultimately decided to leave here and head to a more desolate place.

The 148,000th year.

You searched many Earth Domains.

But it seemed that because your method of use was incorrect, refining Dao Seeds always caused a huge impact.

Even if you hid in the deep mountains and old forests, you would be discovered before long.

You knew this couldn't go on.

Because those Taiyin Realm Cultivators were surely searching the entire world for you now.

And at present, you didn't have a Fatal Strike, and if you accidentally attracted them, it would be troublesome.

After much deliberation, you found a desolate mountain to live in seclusion, starting to temper your Physical Body while waiting for the next Fatal Strike to condense.

Time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, it was the 149,000th year.

An uninvited guest suddenly arrived at your secluded place.

This person was not a Taiyin Realm Cultivator.

But… a member of the Gu Family!

He introduced himself as Gu Zhanlie, and while passing through this place, he suddenly detected Ziyan's aura.

This sudden situation made your scalp tingle, but fortunately, Submit to Me as Master was extremely clever.

It was different from other control methods.

Aside from making the controlled subject absolutely loyal to you, it hardly changed anything else about the subject.

Ziyan and Gu Zhanlie's communication was extremely smooth; although Gu Zhanlie felt something was off, he didn't find any abnormalities in Ziyan.

Before leaving, he also urged Ziyan to return to the Gu Family as soon as possible, stating that the Gu Family had been wrong in the past, and everyone in the clan would do their best to make amends to her.

“Gu Family…”

“Perhaps it really is a good place to go.”

You murmured to yourself, and then countless thoughts flashed through your mind.

Gu Zhanlie's cultivation was extremely high, but he kept his posture very low.

This indicated that the Gu Family was indeed ashamed of Ziyan and very much wanted to win her back.

Then perhaps you could use Ziyan as a connection to gain the Gu Family's protection.

After all, the control of Submit to Me as Master would not be discovered by others.

And if Ziyan could return to the Gu Family, then it would be incredibly simple for you to sneak in with her.

After pondering for a moment, you began to ask Ziyan about the events of that year.
