Chapter 630: Chapter 503 Ksitigarbha Opportunity, Yang Mei Emerges from Seclusion

Among these Two-Step Saints, an ancestor of the Yang clan had always thought to take this opportunity to attack the Demon Clan.

However, absolutely no one was willing to join him, and he himself definitely couldn’t breach the Demon Clan, so he could only watch the departing figures, seething with resentment in secret.

The Yang clan originally sat on a continent in the Void, and besides, the Longyan Continent was not a bit smaller than the Three Realms, even flourishing in cultivation, a bit more prosperous than the Three Realms.

It was precisely because a Two-Step Saint had appeared in the Yang clan in the past that they were able to dominate the entire Longyan Continent. As years passed, the Yang clan kept branching out, until apart from the servants of the Yang clan, the whole continent was populated by the clan’s members.

Under such circumstances, the Longyan Continent naturally ceased to exist, leaving only cities occupied by the Yang clan.

The ancestor of the Yang clan had lived for countless years, his entire person resembling an anciently venerable old man, without using mana to make himself seem younger.

However, despite his kind appearance, his hands were still stained with the blood of many.

"Who are you?"

Just as the ancestor of the Yang clan was preparing to leave, he gazed at a person not far away and asked.

"This humble monk Ksitigarbha, pays respects to the elder!"

That person was none other than Ksitigarbha, who had escaped death. Upon meeting, he knew that the other was a Saint, and therefore, he was much more deferential in his speech.

"Humble monk? You, a mere Quasi-Saint, dare to leave the Buddhist realm, to come to the Void?"

The ancestor of the Yang clan, who also had lived for countless years, merely glanced and saw through Ksitigarbha’s actual situation: "Buddha-demon dual cultivation, you must have escaped from the Buddhist realm!"

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Ksitigarbha chanted the Buddha’s name, but the ancestor of the Yang clan couldn’t understand at all.

"Since we have met, it must be fated. I bestow upon you an item, hoping you can resolve this karma!"

If it were someone else, perhaps the ancestor of the Yang clan would have killed them directly.

But Ksitigarbha’s physical body was solid, and he practiced both Buddhist and demon cultivation; naturally rejected by the Buddhist realm, he completely had the chance to be won over.

On Ksitigarbha’s person, he could not see anything special.

But his instincts told him, he must not underestimate this young man before him.

Precisely for this reason, the ancestor of the Yang clan pointed his finger, directly revealing the location of the Yang clan to Ksitigarbha.

As for what Ksitigarbha would choose, the ancestor of the Yang clan did not care.

He was just casually giving hope, whether it would come to fruition was not within his control.

"Many thanks, elder!"

Ksitigarbha gave his thanks, looking at the newly appeared map in his mind. Though he didn’t understand the other’s purpose, at least it was his chance.

He didn’t believe that he could gain the favor of a Saint so easily then to have everything bestowed upon him.

However, in regard to the location on the map, he still planned to take a look.

As for the karma, Ksitigarbha did not care at all.

The ancestor of the Yang clan did not say anything further, his figure, like several others before him, slowly dissipated in the Void.

Only Ksitigarbha was left, sighing over how truly fortunate he was to have gambled and won.

Multiple Saints assembled, Ksitigarbha naturally knew he was like an ant in their eyes.

However, he still took the risk of appearing when only the last Saint remained.

Now it seems, the gains were definitely worth more than the risks.

In the boundless Void apart from silence was desolation, sweeping one’s gaze across it one couldn’t see any cities, let alone a single person.

Moreover, the Void was not entirely safe, its Void storms could annihilate a Quasi-Saint.

Ksitigarbha had seen one from afar once, knowing that if he encountered it, his recently recovered Primordial Spirit would likely dissipate directly.

However, to temper himself and make himself stronger, Ksitigarbha still resolutely traveled through the Void, all to reach the Yang clan’s city.

And at the edge of the Void, within the Three Realms, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun in the Purple Cloud Palace was heaving sighs, utterly not knowing what to do.

Heavenly Dao fifty, one escapes.

This was the lifeline of the Three Realms.

The lifeline had appeared now, but the Heavenly Dao was not willing to let this lifeline Achieve Saintliness.

To Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, this was akin to a hope that had been arduously cultivated only to be shattered at a glance.

"Heavenly Dao, Wang Yang could actually become the new Heavenly Dao, this isn’t some joke, is it?"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was restless, glad that no outsiders were present, or they would be astounded.

After all, the Heavenly Dao was supreme; cultivators viewed the Heavenly Dao as an existence beyond reach.

But Hongjun, having merged with the Dao to become a Spokesperson of the celestial Dao, was familiar with some of its aspects.

"Could it be because of the World Embryo inside Wang Yang? But that is merely a Minor World, how could it be compared with the Three Realms?"

Honestly, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was truly helpless.

Even though he understood, if Wang Yang could truly become the Heavenly Dao, even if it were the Heavenly Dao of his own Minor World, then his combat power would definitely be no less than that of a Saint, enormously helpful in resisting the Demon Clan.

But if Wang Yang had the power of a Saint, yet knew he couldn’t Achieve Saintliness precisely because the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms did not permit it, wouldn’t Wang Yang then harbor other intentions?

Even if Wang Yang wanted to act for the beings of the Three Realms, but not being granted the Saint Fruit Position by the Heavenly Dao meant that Wang Yang had no karma with the Three Realms.

Reaching the level of a Saint is all about settling karma continuously, making oneself more powerful, isn’t it?

If Wang Yang had no karmic ties with the Three Realms, then why should he bother fighting tooth and nail for the Three Realms?

As long as Wang Yang did not die and continued to grow, with the power of the fifty Great Daos by his side, and a Minor World evolving the Heavenly Dao within him, becoming a Three-Step Sage was a certainty, or even a Four-step Saint could be within reach.

In that case, why should Wang Yang take the risk and genuinely confront the Demon Clan to the end?

It is precisely because he understood this point that Daoist Ancestor Hongjun was rather anxious.
