Chapter 1619 - Chapter 1619 Chapter 695 Yuan Shuns Choice Reincarnations

Chapter 1619: Chapter 695: Yuan Shun’s Choice, Reincarnation’s Response_2 Chapter 1619: Chapter 695: Yuan Shun’s Choice, Reincarnation’s Response_2 Tao blood spilled as Yuan Shun crazily coughed up blood, and one of his arms was completely severed, nowhere to be found.

Yet on his face was an ecstatic expression, and at the center of his brow shone a gray-white crystal light. This light, irregular like a crystal, trembled slightly but was firmly restrained by him, indeed a Reincarnation Fragment.

On the other side.

The Golden Yuan Dao Bracelet murmured as it revolved, heading for the high skies, about to flee, but it was firmly grasped by a hand. Despite the powerful artifact’s violent trembling and struggling, the hand was as steady as Taishan. Suddenly, a sealing Divine Force surged forth and covered it, an evolved version of the Deity Sealing Skill, the Sealing Sacrifice Skill, which completely sealed the Golden Yuan Dao Bracelet and suppressed it within the Divine Aperture World.

Below, Yuan Shun flew back, wildly vomiting blood, but his face still held that ecstatic look. Once again, he drew forth a gray-white light from within his body, which swept over the shattered void and then disappeared.

Following this, he turned to Han Yi and said in a deep voice, “Junior Brother, we shall meet again.”

As soon as his words ended, he instantly entered the high space, heading eastward, towards the nothingness.

Han Yi watched the departing Yuan Shun closely but dared not linger. He used the Traceless Tao Skills to escape toward the Age Candle Hall.

From the moment when Qing Shang Dao Ancestor appeared above the Ancient Lotus Immortal Sect, to the time he struck down with his palm, Yuan Shun’s escape, Han Yi’s sudden ambush, Qing Shang’s explosion, and finally Yuan Shun’s desperate retrieval of the Reincarnation Fragment while Han Yi confined the Golden Yuan Dao Bracelet, each making their escape.

The duration of these events was, in fact, incredibly brief, no more than two breaths.

This was the plan that Yuan Shun and Han Yi had set out. Yuan Shun used himself as bait to lure Qing Shang Dao Ancestor, while Han Yi delivered a stealth attack for a sure kill.

Then, Yuan Shun collected the fragments of Qing Shang’s dispersion, and with the Samsara Dao Skill, blurred the time-space of the area.

The explosion of Qing Shang was also a part of the plan, for only in this way could the Reincarnation Fragment quickly separate from its original host. Simply slaying Qing Shang would require a secondary separation of the fragment, taking too long and increasing uncertainties.

Moreover, by confusing the area with the Reincarnation Dao Technique, even if a Dao Fruit Level peak of the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao Ancestor took action, it would not be possible to trace back because the Samsara Dao Technique is quite special; only someone who cultivates the Great Dao of Samsara could unravel this restriction and trace back through time.

With Qing Shang dead, only two Reincarnation Dao Ancestors remained in the vast Ancient Great World. Even if they could deceive the other Dao Ancestors of the Ancient Great World, they couldn’t fool the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, who would surely investigate and then directly target Yuan Shun.

Hence, the final phase of the plan was for Yuan Shun, after seizing the Reincarnation Fragment, to flee the Ancient Great World, passing through nothingness, entering Chaos, digesting the fragment, and only returning when his power had reached a certain level.

This was the entirety of the plan.

The fall of a Dao Fruit Level power naturally drew the attention of countless entities in an instant.

Thoughts surged through the void, trying to remotely investigate what exactly had happened.

“A Dao Ancestor has fallen, the Heavenly Tao senses it.”

“Which Dao Ancestor is it, huh? There’s an aura of the Great Dao of Samsara, so it seems to be Qing Shang Daoist. Qing Shang had broken through to the Dao Fruit; to have killed him, and so swiftly, could it have been an External Dao Level power?”

“Reincarnation Dao Ancestors are deadly enemies of each other. The one from Kunlun is at the External Dao Level, so it appears that it was him who made the move.”

“With Qing Shang’s fall, Ten Thousand Spirits will go berserk.”

“What use is going berserk? He hasn’t yet stepped into the Outer Path and is not a match for the individual from Kunlun.”

While these thoughts and others surged in the void, a figure within a very short span of time crossed vast distances, alighting upon this devastated time-space. He lightly swept downward, as if trying to clear away the blurriness to see the past events that had occurred in this space, but a gray-white light overshadowed the time-space he perceived.

“Great Dao of Samsara, indeed it’s you.”

This figure turned pale with rage; he was the Sect Master, the Dao Fruit Level peak of the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao Ancestors.

At this moment, upon discovering that the scene had been muddled by the Great Dao of Samsara, he had already locked onto the enemy. However, since the opponent was of the Outer Path, even if he struck in anger, he couldn’t kill him. Instead, such an action could put the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect into a passive position.

He glared coldly at the Kunlun Immortal Realm to the west for a moment before retracting his gaze and departing abruptly with a flick of his sleeve.

After his departure.

Powers like Mount Bu Zhou and Purgatory Island also had Dao Ancestors arrive at the site to investigate but similarly sensed the aura of the Great Dao of Samsara, thereby concluding that the attacker must be the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor of the External Dao Level from the Kunlun Immortal Realm.

Within the Ninefold Netherworld of the Kunlun Immortal Realm, a middle-aged cultivator opened his eyes, intuitively aware that an incident related to him had occurred.

At once, he left the Netherworld, heading towards the place of his premonition, pausing at the border between Kunlun and Penglai before crossing directly.

Had it been thousands of years earlier, he would have had reservations about crossing the border since both he and the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao Ancestor were at the peak of the Dao Fruit Level, and Qing Shang Daoist, one of the Reincarnation Dao Ancestors, was his equal. His crossing over would easily ignite conflict.

But now, he had advanced to the Outer Path first, while the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao Ancestor was still struggling at the peak of the Dao Fruit Level. He no longer worried about encountering the Ten Thousand Spirits Dao Ancestor.

Moments later.

He stood in the place where the Ancient Lotus Immortal Sect once was, looking down. In his eyes, the Great Dao of Samsara was clear and distinct, and with a gentle wipe, he saw the events of the past.

A cold sneer appeared on his face.

“Yuan Shun, daring to frame me, truly seeking death.”

“Thought escaping into Chaos would make him immortal?”

“Hmph, once I stabilize my footing in the Outer Path Realm, I will step into Chaos and kill you.”

“Moreover, the other Taoist must be Han Yi of Age Candle, relying on the power of the Age Candle Heavenly Sovereign to dare to meddle in the struggle for Samsara. Once I merge the Samsara Fragment and step into the Realm of Heavenly Sovereign, what can Age Candle do?”

“Just let you live a little longer.”

The Reincarnation Tao Ancestor from Kunlun left with a flick of his sleeve.

The various Tao Realms of Penglai, however, were quite puzzled by this ‘return’ of the Reincarnation Tao Ancestor, and most of them soon realized there might be some hidden secrets.

Could it be that it wasn’t the Reincarnation Tao Ancestor from Kunlun who killed Qing Shang? Then who else in this place could have laid out the Great Dao of Samsara?

No.

In the entire Ancient Great World, aside from that one from Kunlun, there was also the Reincarnation Tao Ancestor from Daluo.

Naturally, these beings of the Tao Realm were shrewd people. They extended their senses into the Ninefold Netherworld of Daluo, only to discover that this Void Prison was completely empty. Whether it was the newly advanced Reincarnation Tao Ancestor from Daluo sitting at the deepest part of the Void Prison or all the forces belonging to the Reincarnation Tao Ancestor lurking in the Void Prison, they all had disappeared without a trace.

Instantly, these Tao Ancestors reacted.

“So that’s how it is.”

“What a ploy of framing and shifting blame just to buy time.”

“Hey, I remember this Reincarnation Tao Ancestor is called Yuan Shun, truly bold.”

“He succeeded.”

“But he is merely at the first step of the Tao Realm. How could he have killed Qing Shang, and in such a short amount of time at that?”

“Rumors state that Yuan Shun and Han Yi of Age Candle are in an exceptional relationship. Could it be Han Yi of Age Candle who made the move?”

“Highly likely. He had just defeated the Myriad Dynasties Taoist Ancestor, indeed he possesses such strength.”

“Thus, it all becomes clear.”

Tao Thoughts collided in the Void.

Meanwhile, the Myriad Spirits Dao Ancestor, who returned to the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, also deduced this possibility. His gaze piercing through the Void and looking towards Age Candle, he was just about to rise when he sat back down.

“With my strength, even if I could defeat Han Yi, I would not be able to kill him under the Age Candle’s Tao Array.”

“Wait longer.”

“Wait until I break through the Outer Path, then find an opportunity to kill this Han Yi of Age Candle and avenge Qing Shang.”

“Soon, very soon!”

…

Elsewhere.

Han Yi of Age Candle, upon sensing the transmission of Tao Thoughts in the Void, felt his heart sink.

He and Yuan Shun both knew that framing and concealing could only serve as temporary measures; they had no delusions about actually keeping the matter hidden.

After all, those who could cultivate to the Tao Realm were certainly the smartest few in the world. They could be momentarily deceived and led astray, but as soon as there was a change, they would unravel the truth.

However, Han Yi hadn’t expected the Reincarnation Tao Ancestor from the Kunlun Immortal Realm to directly emerge and personally head to Penglai. As soon as he appeared, the misguided Tao Ancestors immediately realized their error.

Support, the truth was not hard to deduce.

Nevertheless, he had no regrets. Instead, he appeared in the Age Candle Hall, ready for the Myriad Spirits Dao Ancestor to come knocking.
