Chapter 279: Chapter 258: [3000 Great Dao, Reverence for Dao Devouring] (Seeking Subscriptions)

Although there was a general direction in his mind, Fu Xi did not rush to find Xuanqing and Kunpeng, but went alone to the land of Returning Ruins.

He had to first understand the situation of the Returning Ruins before he could devise an appropriate response.

Candle Dragon, noticing Fu Xi’s arrival, also hurriedly came forward: "Daoist Fu Xi, instead of cultivating in Fire Cloud Cave, what brings you to the land of our Dragon Clan?"

Fu Xi fell silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh, and subsequently informed Candle Dragon of the anomalies in the Returning Ruins, and the abnormality that arose in the Primordial World’s Water Element Great Dao!

The surplus power of the Water Element between Heaven and Earth was originally supposed to flow into the Returning Ruins, then through the cycle of the Returning Ruins, eventually merge into the ley lines of the Primordial World.

However, the last time the Saints clashed, along with the aftermath of the battle among dozens of Great Divine Ability wielders, caused disruptions in the operation of the Primordial World’s Water Element Great Dao.

The surplus power of the Water Element, lingering within the Primordial World, led to incessant downpours and a ceaseless rise in the water level of the seas to the east, south, west, and north.

And those very Saints who caused the problem were in an inconvenient position to handle the matter, with Heavenly Dao and Earth Dao planning to use this opportunity to test the strength and weaknesses of the Human Dao!

"What?"

Candle Dragon couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

He too had noticed the anomalies in the Returning Ruins. The last great battle among the Saints had caused the seafloor mountain ranges, evolved from the Physical Body of the Ancestor Dragon, to shatter into several pieces.

This resulted in the cycle that swallowed the water of the Eight Extremes and Nine Wilds, the flow of the Milky Way, becoming far slower than before, causing a vast accumulation of Water Element Power in the Four Seas.

During this period, Candle Dragon and others like Ying Long, the great divine wielders of the Dragon Clan, were also repairing the seafloor mountain ranges, trying to resolve the problem of the Water Element Cycle.

But none of them had anticipated that behind this issue was a confrontation among the three Dao of heaven, earth, and humanity.

Although the Dragon Clan now showed signs of revival, before the Saints and the three Dao of heaven, earth, and humanity, they only qualified to be reluctantly used as pawns.

On the other hand, the Phoenix Clan, despite their gradual decline, had Yuan Feng returning and attaining the state of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, which even the Saints had to take seriously.

Candle Dragon looked at the shattered seafloor mountain ranges and couldn’t help but sigh deeply: "If big brother were still here, by now, he would have surely achieved the state of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!"

After the grand cataclysm of Dragon Han, in order to dissolve the Karma of the Dragon Clan, the Ancestor Dragon suppressed the Returning Ruins with his own body, transforming into the Dao, thereby providing the Dragon Clan with a chance to catch their breath.

But could the Karma created during the grand cataclysm of Dragon Han be solely borne by the Ancestor Dragon?

His transformation into the Dao left only his True Spirit extinct, and the only thing remaining was the "Ancestor Dragon Pearl" as the foundation of the Dragon Clan. Yet, it was stolen by Ao Hong, that traitorous dragon.

Candle Dragon’s heart couldn’t help but be filled with sorrow: "It’s all about timing and destiny! It’s not that there won’t be retribution, the time is just not yet ripe!"

Had it not been for the struggle of the three races for supremacy in the Primordial World, and Luo Hou’s instigations exacerbating the war, the Dragon Clan would not have fallen to their current plight!

Nowadays, having a hard-won trend towards revival, they were once again caught up in the strife among heaven, earth, and humanity, leaving Candle Dragon feeling anxious about the future of the Dragon Clan.

In fact, following Xuanqing, along with the Human Race, the Dragon Clan had earned considerable Merit, and Candle Dragon also used this Merit to dispel all the Karma from his body.

Now, his Cultivation had not only restored to its peak but had even advanced further, reaching the Perfection of Primordial Golden Immortal, just one step away from achieving Primordial Daluo.

However, he cultivated the Time Great Dao, which, in the Primordial World, was a taboo. If he wished to attain Dao, it would be a thousand times harder for him than others.

Heavenly Dao does not allow Daluo cultivators to turn back time, to alter history, and those who cultivate the Time Great Dao are even more heavily suppressed by the Heavenly Dao.

He wants to use the Time Dao to attain the state of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, but the Heavenly Dao is an obstacle that cannot be circumvented, and likely the Saints do not wish for him to achieve Dao either.

Fu Xi, observing Candle Dragon’s troubled expression, couldn’t help but have a thought: "Daoist Candle Dragon, why not join forces with this emperor and join the camp of the Human Dao?"

Heavenly Dao suppresses Earth Dao, Earth Dao suppresses Human Dao, and Human Dao suppresses Heavenly Dao; these are the supreme rules set when Pangu opened up the Primordial World.

Now with the Human Dao weakened, it naturally avoids the sharp edge of the Heavenly Dao. However, if Human Dao were to become powerful and complete, even the Heavenly Dao would have to give way!

After the passing of the Ancestor Dragon, Candle Dragon became the spokesperson for the Dragon Clan, carrying the destiny of a whole clan. His Cultivation has also reached the Perfection of Primordial Golden Immortal. Isn’t this precisely what Human Dao currently desires most?

Heavenly Dao now has seven Saints, Earth Dao also has three Saints, and at the same time, there is Zhen Yuanzi and others, just beginning to gain the recognition of Earth Dao’s will.

As for Human Dao, there is only Kunpeng as a Saint, and within the Human Race, Shennong and Xuanyuan are strong but their heritage is far inferior to that of Innate Sacred.

Though bestowed with endless destiny, they cannot achieve Dao in a short period.

At least, they would need dozens of eons to accumulate and to comprehend and perfect their own Great Dao.

And the reason he was a step ahead of Shennong and Xuanyuan is because his previous self was a top-tier Innate Sacred born accompanying the Taiyi Great Dao.

His contemporaries are either Saints or are at the peak of Quasi-Saint or Primordial Golden Immortal, having spent incalculable eons polishing their skills in this domain.

Xuanqing was able to rise above others because he found his true self and gained the perception of the Fate Demon God.

"Human Dao!"

Upon hearing these words, Candle Dragon frowned. Were he to join the Human Dao system, perhaps he truly could use Human Dao to break free from the Heavenly Dao Chains and achieve Dao.

But if he failed, he might also become targeted by the Heavenly Dao, trapped in a situation of eternal calamity!

Fu Xi did not persuade further!

Nowadays, with the Human Dao weakened, Candle Dragon naturally had many concerns. However, if he could achieve the Saint Dao Fruit of Human Dao, it would certainly boost the other’s confidence.

He displayed his Divine Skills, roaming near the Returning Ruins. Streaks of divine light fell, attempting to restore those shattered mountain ranges to their original state.
