267: Get the Extreme Pearl again

The scene before your eyes felt somewhat eerie.

But upon realizing that Fu Cang's cultivation was still only at the Dao Palace Realm, you felt relieved.

You watched him, your gaze unwavering.

And after Fu Cang spoke a meaningful sentence, he proceeded to select the body fragments on his own.

After a long while, he successfully picked out the limb portions from the body fragments.

Then, Fu Cang took out half a pot of spirit liquid and drank it down.

The next moment, a miracle occurred.

Those body fragments seemed to have received some summons, frantically merging with Fu Cang's limbs.

In just a few breaths, Fu Cang's limbs were restored to their original state, as if brand new.

"What a bizarre method..."

Your pupils contracted slightly.

Hearing this, Fu Cang shook his head gently and said, "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

"After that being from the heavens severed my limbs, they became irrecoverable. Only by relying on this method can my Dao Body be made whole."

"Sit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Cang gestured for you to sit.

"Fellow Daoist, long time no see."

"Last time, this old man was still wondering why you asked so many 'whys'. It turns out you were originally a being from within the Supreme Dao Pearl."

"Although I don't know why you were able to break out of the pearl, you must have obtained an unimaginable Opportunity."

Hearing this, you shook your head and said, "Don't tell me you called me here just to say this."

"Since Taiyi Heaven's Will told you my true identity, didn't it tell you to reveal more other information to me?"

"Naturally, it did."

Fu Cang nodded gently, then began to explain to you.

He told you that the Taiyi Realm would face an unprecedented crisis tens of thousands of years later.

If not handled properly at that time, the entire Taiyi Realm would be at risk of annihilation.

This situation was originally unsolvable, and only Xiang Ping, who had just entered the village, was a variable.

His destiny was extraordinary; as long as he could gain the strong support of the Taiyi Realm Cultivators, he would surely be able to resolve this calamity and turn danger into safety.

And the Dao Seed was Xiang Ping's greatest helper on his path to rise, and also the key to Xiang Ping breaking the deadlock.

Furthermore, after Xiang Ping broke the deadlock, he would enjoy eternal immortal blessings with him and be worshipped by hundreds of millions of beings in the world!

Upon hearing this, you laughed.

"What? Fellow Daoist, do you not believe my words?"

"I, Fu Cang, can make a heaven and earth oath: if there is even half a lie in what I just said, I will surely suffer the pain of ten thousand lightning strikes to my heart."

Fu Cang immediately made the oath.

But seeing this, you sneered in your heart.

Indeed, everything Fu Cang said was true.

If, after being refined by Xiang Ping, you still counted as existing within him, then it could indeed be called enjoying eternal immortal blessings and being worshipped by hundreds of millions of beings in the world.

But unfortunately, this was not what you wanted.

It was still that same old saying.

Exchanging one person's life for the safety of the entire world is worth it.

But that person cannot be you.

Because if it were, everything would become meaningless.

"Taiyi Heaven's Will... Hmph, don't let me see your true form."

You snorted coldly.

Since this Taiyi Heaven's Will was determined to make you Xiang Ping's stepping stone, there was no longer any need for discussion between you two.

Your figure flickered, striking directly at Fu Cang.

Although his limbs had recovered, his cultivation still remained at the Dao Palace Realm.

In your hands, he had no room to resist and was instantly throttled by you!

"You... what are you going to do?!"

"Wait, I also know about the situation of the Supreme Dao Pearl! I can tell you everything!"

"I'd rather believe what I see myself."

Saying this, you disregarded the obstruction of the power of heaven and earth and forcibly began to soul-search Fu Cang!

But at that very instant, his head suddenly burst open, scarlet blood splattering across the entire room.

Fu Cang was dead!

He died under the crushing force of heaven and earth!

Although you had expected this, seeing it truly happen still sent a chill down your spine.

After all, the Fu Cang before you was completely different from you.

Whether in the previous simulation or this one, he had always loyally served Taiyi Heaven's Will.

And Taiyi Heaven's Will, merely to prevent you from soul-searching him, instantly obliterated him.

This gave you the feeling of a cunning strategist, manipulating all predetermined events from behind the scenes.

"So be it, providence. Whatever your schemes and tricks, let's meet in sixty thousand years."

As your voice fell, you also left Dao Ling Village.

You did not unleash a massacre here, nor did you explore the secrets on Xiang Ping's body.

Because you clearly knew that no matter how you tried to stop Xiang Ping, he would, under the arrangements of Taiyi Heaven's Will, return to the right path.

And Taiyi Heaven's Will would not always hide.

At least before Xiang Ping refined the Dao Seed, it would appear again.

The one hundred and three thousandth year.

In the Linyuan Region, a Secret Realm named Pingya Grotto-heaven appeared.

Its emergence was very subtle, only affecting the fringe areas of the Linyuan Region.

But you noticed it immediately.

Because you clearly knew that the Qingchi Sect Cultivators obtained the Supreme Dao Pearl around this time.

You immediately ordered your subordinate Cultivators to seal off the area, prohibiting all Cultivators from entering it.

And you, after confirming there was no danger inside, slowly stepped in.

You searched here for a while.

Soon, you had explored more than half of the entire Grotto-heaven.

Although you failed to find the Supreme Dao Pearl, you did ascertain the origin of this place.

This was a Secret Realm left behind by a Cultivator named Immortal Master Pingya.

His strength hadn't even reached the Dao Palace Realm.

And in his Secret Realm, there were mostly immortal medicines.

Other than that, there was almost nothing else.

"It seems there shouldn't be any unexpected situations here."

"But I wonder... why did that Fu Cang desperately transmit the Supreme Dao Pearl here?"

You felt a little puzzled but didn't think too much about it, instead quickly searching through the Pingya Grotto-heaven.

Finally, after several hours, you successfully discovered traces of the Supreme Dao Pearl from a large cauldron.

You held it in your hand and sensed it, finding that everything inside was exactly the same as before.

Then, according to the memories in your mind, you began searching for those so-called "Dao Seeds" within the Supreme Dao Pearl.

Most of them were Human Race, with the number of other races being less than thirty percent.
